Memories Memories Memories

2009-03-24T20:14:00.003+08:00

Talking about memories, I realise that my memory is starting to fail me. I can't seem to remember simple figures by glancing through and I need to pen down all the information or I will forget it the next minute. Not to mention that I actually forget instructions pretty easily. Sighs. I wonder what is going on inside my tiny brain......

One good example would be me wanting to buy a phone to put in nix's room, but for the past two days, I cannot recall that at all and only remembered it on my train ride home today! I was trying so hard to recall yesterday but my mind went blank.... Maybe I need to drink pig brain soup huhh? (In chinese terms, drink brain soup to improve the activities of the brain)

But on the bright side, as I was walking to the bus-stop this morning, sweet memories pour in as I look into the bright sky. Really feel warm in the heart as I reminiscence on little things that have happened to me. In particular, I remembered how nix took really good care of me when I fell sick over the past two weeks, such as accompanying me to the doctor, put me to sleep, feed me my medications, etc etc. And also my mum, who would cook herbal drinks for me to drink, help me with my daily tasks, etc.

Ahhhhhhh... I feel loved. =)

Valentine's Day 09

2009-02-16T12:17:00.003+08:00

Another year of V'day has passed and I think these two years of V'day are the most memorable so far! Last year I had a special invitation card from nixon and the whole day of program planned. This year, it was something special and also interestingly contradicting.

Nix planned to go to Demsey hills for V'day night program, in which he has sent me a interesting presentation on! I had the choice of Long Beach, Jumbo and western food from Brewhouse. The presentation on Long Beach and Jumbo was quite interesting. Long Beach serves Toadstools while Jumbo serves Black Pepper Sea Spiders.. hmmm I am not sure if those are edible though.. Interesting menu. The whole set of menu was thought up and done up by Nix, which was a shock to me cz I didn't know he can actually write so well! Dear Jia you oh! And I really appreciate the effort. =)

I have also planned a interesting V'day afternoon, and although things didn't go the way we planned it to, we had a wonderful V'day. A few days before V'day, I went to IMM and wet market to get ingredients for the special lunch! Sushi picnic! TaDA!!!!

The sushi were made with nix's help, and I also had grilled salmon and chicken with teriyaki sauce. Doesn't the food look appetising?

Originally we planned to go to Botanic Gardens for a nice relaxing afternoon with our sushi picnic. However, by the time we finished making the sushi, both of us were feeling lazy and the weather didn't look too pretty. We ended up in the garden closest to our place, Japanese Garden! On the bright side, there were not many people there and the scenery is beautiful!

We set up our picnic and spent the lazy afternoon away munching on our hard work and playing poker.

As said, both of us were too lazy to go to far away place for meals. Thus, we ended up in the Long Beach in IMM! We had our favourite Baby Squid, tried the drunken prawn, a veg and Crabmeat Mee Sua. The food were quite nice, but I think they added too much MSGs in the food cz my throat was quite dry when I got home.

We ended our V'day with a session of mahjong with another couple, chris and liting! hahh.. I guess we are a bunch of gamblers. Fancy playing mahjong on a V'day. Oh well! Chris was really lucky and skillful! He was the only one that won in the game and I was the biggest loser I guess. hahh. Lost most of the chips. Lucky we were playing on Ice-cream only. This means I owe them one ice-cream treat! Time to scoot off and relax now!

Preparations leading up to CNY

2009-01-23T11:54:00.002+08:00

Another year has passed and its is just a few days away from the grand festival for the Chinese, Lunar New Year! Despite being a gloomy year for this Ox year, it seems that CNY has done some good in boosting retail sales.
I went to Chinatown on two occasions, once last saturday and the second time was yesterday. On saturday, it was really crowded, full of people looking out for new year goodies. Me and my bf were also there to look for some goodies and also managed to get a lot of free tastings. Yummy. We bought this taiwan jelly from one of the vendors, selling for $1.50 per 100grams. And we moved on to view the rest of the street only to find out that the exact same jelly was selling for $1.00 per 100 grams at other vendors!! My bf was pretty much hopping mad. hahx. Despite that, I enjoyed myself there. The atmosphere was great, not to mention the great new year goodies. Yesterday I went there again with my mum in the morning. This time round, it is not so crowded but we could still feel the atmosphere in the air. We went to get some new year decorations and also the taiwan jelly cz mum really likes it. Guess what, this time round, the same vendor that I bought the jelly for $1.50 per 100grams was selling for $1.00 per 100grams. My oh my. And it was quite interesting because they wrote there "Boss not around, anyhow sell", leading to that price. hah. crazy people.
Anyways, most of the preparations have been done for CNY and I am really looking forward to it!!! I am not sure how I am viewing the aftermaths though.. gloomy year ahead..

Jobless but loving it

2009-01-12T15:27:00.004+08:00

Yup, my phrase of the day. Jobless but loving it.

I officially announce that I have resigned from my previous job and is now looking for another one =) The only problem, market doesn't seem to be that good now and I don't really know what I want to do. *Sighs*

In any case, I have been really busy since I resigned with alot of other random things at home and meeting up with friends. =) Let's do a general recap. It has been about 3 weeks since my last day of work and what have I been up to till now?

My family got a new dog, named Mango. I have been busy playing with her for the past few weeks, bringing her for her injection, etc. She's a Silky Terrier, which I think the aunty told me is mixed with a Yorkshire. I am not too sure about that. See the pictures for yourself. =)

This is the look she often gives us when we scold her. A really sad, lovable look.

My mum has been training her to stand on her hind legs, which is working pretty well. We have been using doggie biscuits to train her and she is responding well!

THis is actually one of her first photos and she looks really wonderful. A blur blur cute cute look. =)

I also went to Batam with my family and nix after Christmas to relax. Apparently they didn't really enjoy it that much cz there aren't too many things to do.. CHARISSA! Next time i will go with you to enjoy, not bringing other ppl along animore. -pouts-

Then spend the rest of the time doing really random things like spring cleaning, organizing my stuff, throwing away earrings, washing my stuffed toys, etc. Even though it was really random things, I have really spent really fruitful weeks since I have graduated to tidy up loose ends. Even until now, I still have alot of other things to tidy up. =X

Standing in between split roads

2008-11-13T09:26:00.002+08:00

"Where does my future lie? What is my next move? What should I do next?" Are the thoughts that have been floating in my head for the past few days. It's like standing in the middle, looking at the different options to choose from, but not knowing what is the right decision..
Honestly, since i graduated, I don't really have an ambition of what I want to be, what I want to do or where I want to be 10 years from now. Half a year has past since I graduated and I really think it is time that I start looking at where I am standing now and where this is bringing me to. I need time to sit down and seriously consider my future path. Maybe I should take a few days off and sit by the beach to think this over.
This morning, my dad said to me "Do what you like to do". And now, I guess I really need to think over what I really like.
~lost in a pool of thoughts~

Facing reality

2008-11-03T17:55:00.002+08:00

Yeah it has been going on for weeks and weeks. Since the first day of the sudden downturn, my world has been spinning non-stop. And today, I think i have been dealt with the harshest of the reality. Retrenchment. Although I wasn't the one retrenched, but facing the ones being retrenched is a harsher truth than being retrenched myself.
Although I have only started work not long, a total of close to 6 months of work in this company, I have grown close to my colleagues and really appreciate them for being there for me when I needed help. And to be honest, I don't know anything in this line and have been constantly learning new things. It's my colleagues who have helped me to understand the things I have been doing and to help me in things that I don't know how to handle. Honestly, they are one of the best colleagues that anyone could have. No politics in the office, giggling with each other after work. I wonder if such a day will come again, where we laugh over things that happened in the office and felt really comfortable with each other in the office.
Guys, I will really miss you. And I really hope the best for you guys no matter where you guys go.

Juggling between work and family

2008-10-18T20:47:00.002+08:00

Career Woman + Housewife = Superwoman

Ever since I started work, this is the first week that both my parents are out of town and I had to attend to everything that happens at home. From my sis to my bro to dinner to cleaning the house. *tireedddd* In addition, my work has been a rather big headache lately. With lots of places to run to and many unfinished paperwork, I can hardly find a space to breathe in.

Although it has only been two days since I had to juggle between family and work, it felt like forever. I really am envious and look up to those career woman with a wonderful family. I wonder how did they managed to juggle between the two. With another week to go for me to be a superwoman, I really gotta pray hard that I will survive. hahx.

Still, I love my work and family =)
-=challenges will not defeat me=-

Facebookieee

2008-10-07T21:45:00.002+08:00

Am really amazed with what technology can do nowadays. In the past, a document will take a minimum of one day to reach you and information takes a long time to go travel around. And now, you are just a phone call away, a email away from the other party. How amazing, scary technology can be! With the ever-changing society, we are moving at a very fast pace to get a headstart in the game. And because of this, I think i am still trying to catch my breathe at work.
In any case, this is not really about work. More importantly, I am so glad that I have a face book account and I have managed to catch up with many of my old friends! Dropping them a msg every now and then to find out how they are doing. Looking at their pictures, see how they have changed since we've last met. It is just amazing how ppl changes through time and even to see myself change through time!
Although facebook is still a little hard to use, (with regards to the functions available) it is still a useful tool for me to communicate with friends overseas! Time to do more facebook stuff!

Comex Aug 2008

2008-09-01T20:09:00.002+08:00

Ho Ho Ho!
Had a good time with Charissa at the Comex show yesterday even though both of us came out quite sick from the show. We were both very happy with our purchases! She managed to get her Creative Zen Xi-Fi player, which looks really cool! (I hope the spelling is correct) And I got my dad a bluetooth for his handphones (Which connects to 2 phones at a time! Ain't that coooool???) Then I got myself a lappy! Heex. Now, You will see me stuck to my laptop with my favourite game!
I was choosing between a few brands, Acer, BenQ, LG and Dell cz their prices are more reasonable. BenQ has a really cool laptop which has a 13.3" screen and pretty good specs but I haven't tried that brand before so I am a little worried on that. LG's promoter kept giving me all kinds of discounts and freebies so I was rather tempted to buy but their price a still a little on the high side and the specs wasn't as good for the price range. Then came Acer! One of my favourite brands. Their 12.1" laptop was selling at $1,298 and it was PRETTY! Unfortunately, I didn't really like the sales person.
So i settled for Dell. Their price is one of the best for the same specs compared with other brands. I got myself Dell Inspiron 1420, Expresso Brown cover.
At the price of $1,299, it comes with the following specs
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5750
Memory - 4 GB Dual Channel 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Disk - 320GB SATA Hard Drive
Screen - 14.1" Widescreen WXGA TFT Display with 2.0 MP webcam
Operating System - Windows Vista Home Premium
Graphics - 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Optical Drive - 8X DVD RW Drive
McAfee - 15months
Bluetooth - Dell wireless 355 Bluetooth
Wireless - Dell Wireless 1490 Dual Band 802.11a/b/g 54 Mbps Mini-card
Warranty - 1 Year
The only sad thing... I can only get it in 2 weeks. =( But I am still quite happY! hahhx
After which Charissa and I had lunch at Marina Square. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it had really wonderful food! It was located next to Swensens and Ribs is one of its outstanding dishes. I had Grilled Chicken with mango slices on it, which was WONDERFUL! hahhx The mango was very sweet and it goes very well with the chicken. *Yummm* Charissa had Honey Baby-Ribs which looked quite nice too. heex. She even packed the ribs she couldn't finish back home to eat. So it must be of some standard!
Then went home after our lunch. On our way back, saw Vivien at Citilink but unfortunately she didn't see me. =( Nevertheless, she still looks so pretttyyyy =) Must catch up with her someday.
That's all for now!

random notes

2008-08-27T20:11:00.003+08:00

I have no idea wat to name this post because i have no idea what i wanna put in this post.
Still trying to recollect my thoughts together and put them down in words but my mind is wondering off into so many areas that I don't have a topic in mind that I can put my finger to.
Life have been rather monotonous lately. I have been working, tv, sleep and the cycle starts all over again the next day. And on weekends, I don't really have any idea what to do. Together with my bf, we are like lost wondering souls. Hahx.
We have been planning our future, looking at flats that will be coming up, furniture we want in the house etc etc. hahh i think this part of my life is rather interesting. Really can't wait for this future dream of ours to come =)
On the other hand, Olympics have just ended, so don't really know what to watch out for on tv nowadays. AND Congrats to the table tennis players who have won the silver medal for Singapore! And BOOOO to the person who has made it onto the headlines infamously. Apparently the words that the person has said to the media at the Olympics has upset many people, and I think people will start demonstrating at the park against her. I think her future looks rather misty right now...
Oh well, time to go do other stuff!

Work Work Work

2008-07-10T20:27:00.002+08:00

Yo! haven't post for a very long time. I have been rather busy with work lately, going home at 7-8. *tiring* But I like being busy. There's a sense of achievement. =)
I am currently working in this Civil Engineering Consulting firm, as a asst. proj manager. Heexz. Nice title right? Basically, I have been dealing with contracts, and also clients (which is the harder part). The company that I am working in is not those big international company, but I will have to say that we are rather "internationalized" with people from all over the globe. And I really like this working environment, cz it is not so tensed, not much of conflict with colleagues and basically, everyone is working together in harmony! *Yup, I know this is the best part about work*
And the second best part is that I get to drive home the company van, so I dun really have to go look for my own transport. =) Talking about driving, had a really funny drive home today. Knocked off at about 7, with Syah and Yihong. So I drove them to the places they wanted to go, and have came to realization that EACH and EVERYTIME I drive the both of them back, I run into Red Lights almost the entire trip back. Last week, it took me half an hour to get from pandan loop to bukit batok (hitting red light almost the entire way back), which would usually take a much shorter time. And today, I ran into red lights 6 times in a row. hahh.. I dunno how I manage to get that "Lucky". Maybe its about time I go buy 4D.
And also had another funny experience the other day. After boss left for some investigation, all of us left at about 630pm. I was the last one to leave the office, with Syah. And as we walked towards the passenger's lift round the corner, the goods lift on our right was opening. Both of us stared at the door, then at each other and started running in the direction of the passenger's lift immediately! hahhh. this was actually for a good reason. Our boss like to use the goods' lift to get to office/out of office, so we thought that he was coming back and just wanted to get out of there immediately. hahhx.
Wish I have some photos that I can put up, but unfortunately, none. =X
Shall show you guys pictures of my durian trip soon!

Aftershock of SzeChuan Earthquake

2008-05-25T21:56:00.002+08:00

Just 10 minutes ago, the live telecast to raise donations for the SzeChuan Earthquake ended. Watching the pictures of the earthquake, the aftermath, the orphans really make me feel touched.
It wasn't anything extreme, it was just a singing performance to raise the amount. And I was really glad that they managed to raise more than 6 million by the end of the show. The most touching part of the show was the mother's love for her 3-4months old baby. It was really saddening to know that the baby will never get to know his mother personally, but only through a phone message that has her love in it. And to that mum, my greatest respect.
Although it was just a 3 hour telecast, it managed to play its message across. With this show, I feel more and more for the sufferers of this natural disaster and I really hope that the survivors will walk out of this darkness soon. My deepest condolences to them.

A Short getaway

2008-05-15T21:01:00.003+08:00

Yo! Ever since i started work a week plus ago, i have been too busy to do things I wanted to do. Shucks. But i have been enjoying work so far, at least I hope i did. *hmmm*.. There is still some sense of uncertainty about this job but so far everything is going well....

Over last weekend, went to bintan with family for a short getaway!! The views are fantastic, and tadaaaa.. below are some of the pictures that I took while I was there..

Oh i love the colour contrast in the sky... prettyyyy... and the beach looks pretty too.. wonderful...
Look! This is one of the pretty shell-like stuff that I found on the beach. It has a very distinct flower shape. And almost every shell there is like this! with this distinct flower. interesting hehhh... I tried to bring it back to the resort but somehow it crushed in my pocket... *shruggs*

A Pretty view of the pool at the resort area. Honestly, it has a really wonderful ambience. And when you lie on one of those beach chairs, it is so breeeezyyy!!
Another vieww of the resort =)

Honestly, the stay was wonderful, however the food is not as great. *shakes head* Ooo and i had a massage there! It was quite nice and relaxingg... And i chanced upon this magazine showing Miniloc Island of Philippines. IT IS VERYYY PRETTY!!!! I wanna go there one dayy. maybe 5 years in the future? Cz one night stay for 1 person is 400 sin dollar (minimum) and nooooooo i don't have that luxury for now.

Didn't put any of my pictures in this entry cz i look totally awful! I think i am growing too fat. need more exercise. *ROARRRR* must be the after effects of exams..

CONGRATS!

2008-05-06T20:44:00.002+08:00

A big CONGRATS to myself for completing 3 years of univerisity life. =)
ANOTHER big congrats for finding a job =)
BUT a BIG slap on the face for beginning work the day AFTER exams end. =(

Spent a really nice day out with my friends, xiaoqian and charissa, after exam ended yesterday. We had our lunch at Hogsbreath Cafe, which was ok but not really that fantastic as people make it out to be. Oh well, at least we filled our tummy =) Spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the place before we went off to do our own separate stuff.

And for today, it was the first day of work! I will say that there is alot of things to do, but I didn't manage to find that much things to do. Hahhx. Went on a site inspection with my boss, and it was quite interesting to see how bad a building can turn into with age. And learnt alot about buildings, what to look out for, some laws for the buildings, etc. It feels like school all over againnn.. hahhh... let's hope tml will be a better day =)

Quick Update!

2008-04-28T18:17:00.002+08:00

The start of exams...

one hour.. two hour..

Took my Infectious diseases exam more than 5 hours ago and came out feeling quite unsettled. Deep down inside, I know, I have done this exam badly. Like everyone around me say, Don't think about it anymore, concentrate on the next exam. Yeah i wish. Still feeling unsettled.

One exam down, 3 more to go. Having Applied microbiology at 1pm tomorrow, and I am on the brink of losing all my brain cells. More memorizing, i am afraid, and after 3pm tomorrow, its down to another 3 days of memorizing.

Let me try to think of something happy that happened these few days. hmmmm.. hmmm.. hmm.. hm.. Okay, I can't think of anything right now. Still brain dead from the exams.

Wish me luck!

1 week countdown

2008-04-17T11:51:00.002+08:00

Currently studying for my cardio CA2, which is tearing my brain apart cz i hate to read reviews and papers. -sighs- Even so, I really hope that I will do well in tml's CA to make up for the really bad CA1. CAs aside, I have another week countdown to my Finals. schedule is as follows:

28th April - Infectious Diseases (70%)

29th April - Applied Microbiology (70%)

2nd May - Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology (60%)

5th May - Human Physiology: Cardiopulmonary System (40%)

With such a high percentage for the finals, it will come to no surprise that I am damn freaked out! And to tell the truth, I don't have one module that I am confident in, and in fact, i am scared for all of them! Infectious diseases is tough, and my prof has already sent us a sample of what the format will be like. The moment i opened the file, WTH is all over my head. This is definitely not going to be easy. -shrugs-

Applied Microbiology, probably the one that I am least stressed about, but still worried cz I am not particularly good with the last prof's lecture notes. And as for neurobiology, I really enjoyed studying it, but learning that the exam is going to be 4 essay questions without the choice to choose really bothers me. As for the last exam on cardio, it is going to be MCQs and TFs. Everyone is going to think it is easy, but honestly, i am really bad at MCQ!!! sighs so this is another worrying one. Not going to be a smooth month up ahead.

Stressed

2008-04-13T13:52:00.003+08:00

Unlike in SMU, which is probably the period of total stress now, NUS has another 2 weeks to the finals. But i am already damn stressed. I have 3 tests coming up.

Monday - Applied Microbiology (ENTIRE COURSE TESTED) 30%

Wednesday - Human Physiology (Essay - Respiratory System) 20%

Friday - Human Physiology (CA - Cardiopulmonary system) 20%

And added up together, its a high percentage for my grades. -stressed- I hope I will get good grades for human physiology cz i did really badly for my first CA. -praying hard- And the bad thing now is that I have not touched a single thing on cardio cz i have been studying for applied microbiology. -sighs- This is making me really stressed and depressed.

really hope to do well this term.. can't afford to jumble up anything. -sighs-

Dream Phone

2008-04-03T10:28:00.003+08:00

I wanna get this phone. :D

And i have got it. =)

In silver colour, and its pretty stylish...

overly emotional?

2008-04-01T17:10:00.001+08:00

tired? crazy? I don't know. I can't tell anymore.
-living dead human-

busy busy

2008-03-24T10:08:00.003+08:00

Phew~ It's been rather busy, with labs, CAs and tutorials and closed the busy week with a short trip to tioman island over the long weekend. =)

Life in school have been rather fast-paced lately, in which I have been having trouble trying to catch up. With 1 lab due today, another lab report due next tuesday and a commentary on Alzheimer's disease due next monday, I dare say that i have alot of work to do this week. Not to mention my zero sense of music directions in my music class is driving me crazy, there's 2 birthday parties to attend this week as well. Oh! And I haven't actually started on my reports due next week. Sighs. This is going to be a rather tormenting week up ahead.

Enough with the complaints, I have had quite a interesting breakaway over the weekend. Along with caren and HK, I went to tioman with my family and nix. The bus ride there was totally horrible! Driver was rather slow and it felt like a sideways Pirate ship where we bob from side to side for the entire 4 hours trip (and it actually stated in the itinery that it was supposed to be 3 hrs ride). Another 2hrs boat ride to the tioman island (which again, stated 45min in the itinery). To add to our dismay, it began pouring as soon as we stepped onto the island!!! Trying to squeeze on the bus with so many other tourists wasn't a easy task. Not to mention that almost everyone got our butts wet as the bus was rather "opened". There was no side covers to shield us from the heavy rain.

Despite such an uncomfortable ride to the island, things begin to turn for the better as we checked into the resort. The chalet was pretty and felt so relaxing, with connecting doors for us to walk from one chalet to the other. Spent our first day exploring the pretty beach along the resort (but it was definitely not as nice as KK), and a tennis treat for 2hrs. Oh and we saw a coral snake along the beach!! We began to throwthings at the snake to see if it was alive, and yeah it was just lazing around the beach. Dangerous thing to have along the beach eh.

On the second day, which is a saturday, we went for a short snorkelling trip that is 2 minutes away from the main island. Pretty corals, big sea cucumbers and loads of sea urchins! There wasn't as much fishes as we expect there to be, but the fishes were definitely more vicious than the ones in KK! My sis got bitten by one of the fishes and her finger was bleeding non-stop! scary little fish, who ended our snorkelling trip earlier than expected. Oh well! And we went out of the resort to have a nice lunch with crabs and prawns in a chinese restaurant.

Shortly after, we went for trekking along the waterfall in which most of us were rather unprepared cz all of us wore slippers for the trek. Not to mention the hateful mosquitoes that kept bitting us, we have had a rather tormenting time on the trek. Even so, we still enjoyed the waterfall trek with the pretty chamelons and the cooling water in the waterfall.

Ended our day with a BBQ buffet ( which was horrible) and a game of pool in the games room. Continued with some work in the chalet and a game of munchkins which was rather fascinating. hahhx. The ride back the next day was another unthinkable trip, but this time round, the bus driver drove so fast that i felt like puking. It took us 2 hours to get from the Telok Munuk pier to JB, in which i think it is a record for the bus driver.

p.s. try to take boat from Singapore - Mersing - Tioman If you wanna go there next time. The bumpy bus ride is just horrible.

Updates!

2008-03-03T11:05:00.002+08:00

Zooieee

2008-02-20T20:39:00.003+08:00

Finally, we went to the zoo on sunday after much planning and waiting! So here are just some random pictures of cute fluffy animals in the zoo. hahhx. Here's the picture of the white-faced monkey (which I dunno the actual name)
A random picture that i took before Splash Safari started. hahh. look, there's another woman looking into the camera as well. Three different sorts of expressions. lol. One diao one, one with a sorta question mark face? and one that just wanna look into the camera i think. hahh
This is a really lovely white tiger! I saw them swimming in the water and i just wanted to join them! pretty little animals though they can be very dangerous. =(
Ah this is a really weird expression from nix. hmmm i can't remember what we saw that makes him give this expression... was it the snake?
And like caren said in her blog, We paid our last respects to Ah Meng at the zoo. She has such a nice resting place... nice scenery, with flowers surrounding her.
We ended our day with a wonderful dinner at CCK. Yummy, my fav chilli crab. -lick fingers- Oh yes, and i remembered we play alot of tricks on caren throughout the day. heex. Besides the bus trick, remember chris played another trick on you caren? hahhx. Okay, that's only for the trio to know and shall not be revealed to public. lol.

P.S. TRIO RULESSSSSS

SEA Night!

2008-02-20T20:12:00.003+08:00

PHEW~ Finally, our first performance of the module has begun!!! We had to meet at 11am in the morning before the start of the performance. And this is how me and charissa looked in the pretty morning of the weekend!
However, I think we all were rather worn out by the moving of instruments. Look! There's both thai and indonesian instruments. tiringggg....
After moving in all the instruments, we stopped for a pretty photo of us at the Lecture Theatre!
This is how the stage we are performing looks like. Obviously they are still moving the instruments and it's still not ready!
Look! It's us in our performance attire. =) That's me and charissa, with joel in the background trying to eat us up i guess. hahhx
Overall, the SEA night was very interesting even though we had a awfully boring afternoon before the performance started. But I was damnnn paiseh after the performance cz my leg went numb and I couldn't walk properly! Mark, the guy beside me had to help me into the backstage or i think i couldn't have moved without toppling over my own leg. hahhh.
After SEA night, I rushed to desmond's surprise birthday party! So sorry desmond that i went so late! -apologies!- I think i screamed my head off when i was thrown into the pool by my BFF, Azman and Maureen.. -pouts- And to all those guys who wanted to join in the fun of throwing me down but decided to remain a gentleman, THANK YOU. hahhx. Then i went to caren's house for a game of daidee with her family via Hadi's car (thanks for the ride even though i am soaking wet!!). And to caren, thanks too! hahh for lending me ur dry clothes and sending me home after the game!

Happy VDAY!!!

2008-02-14T22:55:00.003+08:00

Firstly, Happy VDAY to everyone out there! Hope everyone had a nice day today. =)
I think so far, this is one of the best Valentine's day for me. On the night before, I received this really pretty card on my doorstep. i was sooooo surprised. =)

My dad was the one who saw this pretty handmade card first. I thought it was reaaaally sweet. =) And within the card, it is a invitation., which i shall not discuss in details. heex. -privacy- Here's another picture of what he has done specially for me. Lovely right? I thought the picture on the computer was quite pretty too. -Big SmiLe- Oh, and the bouquet of roses was the surprise that i received this morning. Isn't it pretty? And mind you, it was handmade as well!
A closer look at the pretty flowers made by my loveeeeeely boyfriend. See the difference between the rose in the middle and the rest? Scroll down for bigger surprise!
Tadaaaa!!! Its a pretty ring inside the red rose in the middle. =)
Oh, and our day did not just end there. Nix cooked brunch for me at his house, which was totally lovely. =) panfried chicken wing, which is my fav! and we had it together with garlic bread, mushroom soup and baked beans. -yummyyy- Then we headed off to orchard for a walk around the place. First, we went to lancome to get one of the makeup that i wanted for a long time! Pen eyeliner! I am gonna try it on soon to see how it looks on me. And i redeemed a lipstick and a masacara. =) so much stuff for $39. totally worth it. =)

Walked around Taka after that. Wanted to go to the library to return my books but the library closed down. ANGRYYY!!!! oh well, then nix offered to carry the books for me after I whined like no one's business. hahxxx. After that, we walked around taka to look for nix's stuff and also did some admin stuff. Went to the basement to have some snack. While i was sitting at the table waiting for nix to get the food, I played with my new eyeliner. drew a line across my hand and kept the eyeliner. =) Then one of those angmohs came over and asked if i was a artist!! I was like..... noooo... And he said, "Oh i saw the artist pen that you have so i thought you are one, just like me. " I was like.. oh no i am not a artist. heeex. then i started laughing to myself. So a eyeliner can be a artist pen... -hmmmmm-

One of the pictures we took on the bus. -happy little couple-After that we went to Lot one to return my books, followed by a trip to westmall to get more admin stuff done which spent alot of our time.. -yawnnn- Took a nap at nix's house before we went to Long Beach for dinner. YUMMMY we had nix's fav baby squid, veg and a really nice New Year Rice. But the new year rice portion was wayyyyyyyy too big for us. It was like a portion for at least 5 people. Goshhhh....

Ended off our sweet Vday with a slow walk back to my house. =)

Wine Gourmet

2008-02-12T20:47:00.000+08:00

Started off my new week with a blast! Missed the first 8am lesson and caught up with the Thai music lesson. Had a good time with my friends singing, playing music and just gossiping about others. hahhx.
Today is so far, the highlight of my week. I had a interesting time in my Applied Microbiology Lab, where we actually had a free wine appreciation course by my Prof. We had a one hour lecture about processes in food biotechnology, followed by an hour of wine talk. Learnt alot about how to drink wine properly, what kind of wine to drink and HOW TO GET DRUNK! hahh where can u ever learn that from??? I supposed you can only learn this from Applied Microbiology! We also got to sample both red and white wine, which tasted quite nice actually. The red wine was rather smooth, and the white wine was sweeeeeeeet. =)
And i guess some of us got rather tipsy cz the guys began spilling the experiment solution, adding in the wrong amount of solution, etc. Overall, GREAT TIME! =)
On a brighter note, I had a good time during CNY, and below is a picture of a really lovely dog that i saw at Nix's relative house.
P.S. Like my new blogskin?

despondent

2008-02-09T18:55:00.000+08:00

random tv shows, occasional walks around the place, that's the highlight of my day.
however, i am feeling rather tired and don't feel like moving at all. or rather, i feel like my limbs are giving up on me. tirednessss....
exams are coming, with the first CA on 20th feb. I haven't touched any of my books yet and so far, have no decision to do so.
on the side note, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to all!

dreams

2008-01-21T11:31:00.000+08:00

can be defined as the images you saw while u were asleep, or something that you hold dearly to your heart for it to happen. How many have woke up in the middle of the night, awoken by terrible dreams, or refusing to wake up from the sweet dreams in the morning?

Despite the double definition, dreams are actually something you hold dearly to you, which are portrayed during your sleep. It may be something that you fears deeply, or a hope you have been clinging on for your dear life.

I have been dreaming lately, with fears and hopes. Yet, these are not a direct interpretation of my hopes, nor fears. It is the pressurizing atmosphere of school, of my own goals to reach, of my own insecured inner status.

a tinge of hope shines brightly above. so near, yet so far.

A moment of amusement

2008-01-16T12:29:00.000+08:00

Being the first week of school, most of the students came here all happy and ready to start school. Me, however, was rather depressed about school. hahx. which i think all the Year 3 students should be too. Despite that, 2 occasions have made me very amused about what is going on around the school and I hope more amusement will be coming soon~

I had a lecture called Infectious disease at 12pm yesterday. As it was the first lesson of the day, i came to school half an hour earlier, bought my favourite yogurt at the bazaar and walked into the nearly empty lecture theatre to look for charissa. Within the next half an hour, more and more students begin to pour in, and that's when the amusement starts. To our common knowledge, this lecture was supposed to have only 100 odd students, but by 12pm, there were about 200-300 students. And there were 3 LECTURERS in the lecture theatre. hahhx that was when the fight starts for which lecturer to take over the class. We continued watching the fight for about 5 mins, with many commotions going on. One of the lecturers finally went to look for the source of this chaos, while the other lecturer ( which is my lecturer for this module) begin scrowling about the person who arranged the venues for the lecture theatres had the IQ equivalent to that of a "demented cockroach". What an interesting way to describe a person's IQ. hahhx. The two classes were quickly separated after the other lecturer came back with the correct venues.

And today, i had to wake up at 6am to attend a lecture called Neurobiology at 8am this morning. Halfway through the interesting lecture about how our brain and neurons operate, i begin to hear raindrops. At first, i REALLY thought that it was raining outside. To my amusement, water begin pouring down to the front of the class from the top of the theatre. THE LECTURE THEATRE WAS FLOODED. hahhh and it was a great sunny day outside. I am not sure where the water came from, but it definitely kept us amused for a while before continuing with the talk on how brain works. hahhhx.

Side note. I found this interesting latin aerobic class and have the intention to take it. =) + there is a travel bazaar next week at the central library. Yipeeees!

compromise

2008-01-14T11:24:00.000+08:00

Had a unexpected visit to the showrooms at bukit batok and guess what i found? A PRETTY BEETLE! This car is like so vintage with the SB movie theatre sign on the left side and a picture of one of the older movies on the right side of the car. unfortunately, this is a manual car and i cannot drive this. For this vintage car, i shall consider learning to drive manual cars.

After the unexpected twist of events, i went to nix house with him to paint his balcony bluee! The rabbits were let out of the cage, and were fearing for their fur that we will turn them blue as well. hahx. Mahjong sessions were going on at nix's house, with the brother taking over the morning mahjong sessions and the mum following up by continuing the afternoon session. After painting the balcony, we moved the fishes to the balcony and waited for dinner.

On the way home after dinner, we started to argue about our future home, whether to have sofa or not, to have what type of cupboards etc. Hahx, how silly right? Yet it was also through this that it once again dawned upon me that we are a really weird couple who have totally different character and personality. It is just like the the north and south end of a magnet sticking to each other, yet not being anything at all like each other. I supposed this was what attracted us in the first place. However, I, or rather we, have already anticipated more problems to arise in the future. Things between us hang on a single thread, in which the breaking of this strand of thread will result in separate futures for the both of us. There are many methods of breaking this strand of thread, with only one way of holding it together. That's it, compromising. As easy as it sounds, I believe this will be very difficult to come to terms with due to our very different natures. Let's hope i will grow more mature and embrace this concept with an open heart.

Cleaning Spreee

2008-01-11T16:18:00.000+08:00

Whoa. Just finished cleaning up my room and found many interesting things that i only see once a year. lol. I think i have enough ornaments in my box of treasures to decorate my entire house in the future. lol. Found quite a number of picture frames, cups and other decorative stuff such as key chains, bottles etc. And many of which are rather useless now so i kept them away in a pretty big box for future use. =)
Oh, and i found tons of my bro's kindergarten graduation pictures. he looked so cute and round then. hahaax and he really wore one of those grad clothes that graduates wear. how i envy him... -sighs- i wish i got one of those when i was in kindergarten...
And i finally put my pretty earrings all together in a clear box that separates every pair of them. feel so satisfied after managing to put them properly and this also means that i can find my earrings easily. yeah! =)
now, i am left with putting away my cosmetics properly... here i go!!!!

Kota Kinabaru Trip! =)

2008-01-04T20:41:00.000+08:00

My last holiday in 2007 was the wonderfully fun trip to Kota Kinabaru. Took a early morning flight to Sabah, followed by a flight transfer to our prettily designed hotel, which is right in the city heart! After which, we took a walk around the city of Kota Kinabaru and had our breakfast at this coffee shop that sells pork! hahx I thought i will never see such a store in malaysia. In the afternoon, we went to this river to find monkeys! unfortunately, the rain was pretty bad and we couldn't see much. Luckily for us, the monkeys still decided to stay out and let us watch them. hahaax. however, the rain deterred us from watching the fireflies. =(
On the second day, we went to do water rafting! yeahhhhhhh! it was great fun! hahhx, and i got pushed into the water twice. =( evil water-rafting guide. And we went to the shopping centre and played arcade! hahhaax we sorta won lots of tickets but in the end didn't redeem anything for the day.
Third day. we went to climb mount kota kinabaru. It was another fun trip! Got to see the different species of plants, which was a total eye opener! We saw the smallest orchid found!!!! yeahhhhhhh! And we went to the tree canopy walk thing, where we walked on the hanging bridges in the middle of the forest! However, we didn't get to go for hot spring cz there were too many ppl. =(
Fourth day. A TOTALLY WONDERFUL DAY AT THE ISLANDS OFFSHORE! hahax we were sooooo lucky and honoured to be able to go to such pretty islands and view such pretty fishes!!! The sea was clear and blue, with beautiful fishes in the water swimmiing lazily around. Our tour guide bought two big packs of bread crumbs for us to feed the fishes with! hee and the fishes crowded ard the feeding area. pretty viewww! After which, we headed for the seocnd island, where we snorkelled around the corals to look at the different species of fishes in the water. Bringing along a bottle of bread crumbs each, the fishes followed us as we dropped food into the water. heex. By the afternoon, we were quite tired so me and nix just took bottles of bread crumbs and stood on the stones and fed the fishes around us. hee and the fishes began nibbling on nix legs. haha it mus be due to the hair on his leg. hahax and they have misunderstood it for food. =X
Fifth day. We went to this adventure park and spent the rest of our day in sabah there before heading for the airport. First, we played the kayak, where my kayak capsized twice. =( but it was still great fun riding against the waves! yeahh! Then we played the flying fox which was not as fast as expected, but climbing up to take the flying fox was damn scary! we also played mini golf which i lost badly. hahahaxx.. yeah and we onli managed to do this among of things on the last day.

Now that i have named 5 of the best and worst things that have occured, let me continue to talk about the new year! I spent the last day of 2007 and the first day of 2008 entirely with my Happy Tree Friends. hahx, with the last day of 2007 preparing for the last dinner of the year, Chinese Cuisine, with 2 movies as desserts! And started off the first day of 2008 with a string of sporting events, namely Mahjong, Table-tennis and Badminton!

As for the rest of the new year so far, nothing much have happened and i am too lazy to elaborate. Meanwhile, EVERYONE HAVE FUN!!! I will update on my Kota Kinabaru trip another day when i found my pics. =)

Thailand Holiday =)

2007-12-19T23:14:00.000+08:00

Recently came back from a holiday in thailand and it was WONDERFUL! =) We went to both Pattaya and Bangkok in the last 5 days (13th dec - 17th dec). It was my first trip to thailand with my friends, nix, chris n caren. =) Fun Fun FUN!!!!

Day 1

On the night itself, nix n chris gamed through the night and i was just tossing around the bed trying to sleep. hahh and i slept barely 4 hours before i had to wake up to prepare. We went to Changi Budget Terminal at 430am as our flight was at 630am. Slept on the flight, which was surprisingly smooth even though it was a budget flight. =)

Upon arrival in the bangkok airport, we took a government bus to pattaya which only costed us 5 dollars each! =) It was surprsingly cheap and good service on the bus too. However, we weren't so lucky in the city. Had to walk quite a bit of distance with our luggages before we could get on a lorry-like taxi and we got fleeced! Had to pay 40baht each to get to the hotel even though it costs about 20baht per trip. The hotel was VERY PRETTY, even though we had to book 2 rooms in the end, the room was big and pretty! Service was good, with a pretty pool on the top of the hotel and good breakfast. *yumm*

We went to Ripley's believe it or not and it was funn! Got scared like crazy in the haunted house, and had lots of fun in the mirror maze!

Pic 1: his eyes were following us everywhere.... and we thought he was fake! but he is a real personnn.. AHH!

Pic 2: Our first stop! the four of us at Ripley's!

After Ripley's, we just went for a walk along the Walking street and noticed alot of bars, pubs, etc. Now i know why pattaya is so infamous. lots of ang mohs walking around, most of them being single guys. hahh i guess you should know what i mean. Had dinner in one of the seafood restaurants and i guess the food is not too bad!

Pic 3: our wonderful dinner at the seafood restaurant

Day 2

Woke up early in the morning to get ready for some wacky watersports! Took the ferry to Kolan island which was wonderfully pretty, except that the beach was sorta destroyed by the overwhelming numbers of umbrellas on the sand. sad to see that sight but nevertheless, we had fun! Took the banana boat, in which we were flipped at least 3 times into the really salty water! and played Jet skii which was very fun too! heex was riding against the waves which ended up leaving bad scratches on my knees. *sobs* Then caren and chris went parasailing while me n nix sat on the boat that sent them up the sky! heex funnn...

Pic 4: The pretty beach of Ko Lan Island. can see how blueeeeee the water is?

Pic 5: me n nix on the pretty jet skii.. =)

Pic 6: Parasailing. I think that was caren who was in the water. hahahx

After the watersports, we had lunch and headed back to hotel for a nice afternoon in the pool area. Went to the beach road for dinner and some minimum shopping before we ended our night by drinking and playing mini mahjong in the hotel room. =)

Day 3 and 4
Went to bangkok early in the morning, and had pretty tough time trying to locate our hotel. It wasn't a very nice hotel, but was okay for us to stay in. Went for shopping straight away in MBK center and had a nice jap lunch. =) Then went off to Platinum to do more shopping =) Spent the next day shopping as well, in both platinum and Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Hahhax i wun talk more about the shopping but we definitely got ourselves quite a bit of stuff. =)

Pic 7: our victory at the shopping malls!

battle mode

2007-11-29T17:27:00.000+08:00

I am really unsure of what i should name this post as, thus i called it battle mode since i am fighting against the cold and exams. Still feeling rather unwell now, with minor headache. -sighs- its interfering with my studying and making me sleep all the time.

Already had 2 exams, and one of them went pretty badly. Really hope i can pass that module. -sighs- Now, i have to focus on the next 2 exams as they are VERY important as well. So, i have to try to study even though my head is spliting from the reading.

On the brighter note, I have a new phone! Well, its actually nixon's phone. It's a brand new N95! ANd i think it looks pretty. Time to get back to my studies.

utterly sick

2007-11-26T21:05:00.001+08:00

My cough got worse on sunday morning, with me coughing my head away in the wee hours of sunday morning. argh, it was so hard for me to fall aslepp. -sad- Thus, went to the doctor in the morning. I must say that i was rather shocked with the amount i had to pay for the medicine. It was 74bucks! hah. i have never seen a doctor that i have to pay so much for except when i had to go to the hospital for intestine problems.
After eating lunch, i took my medicine and continued my preparations for exams. Halfway through, my heart was beating fast like no one's business and i thought i was just nervous for the exams, so i didn't look too much into it. Took a little nap and continued studying till night.
Had my second dosage of medicine and the whole thing happened again, with my body feeling numb and practically impossible to move around. -sighs- so my mum told me to stop eating the medicine and see my family doctor today.
So after exams this morning, went to my family doctor with my medicine. She told me there were steroids in the med causing my body to react that way. So, i stopped taking the medicine and took some other ones instead. hahh which caused to me to spend a total of up to 100bucks for medication in total. Oh well. my dad would be the one nagging. haha..
I think i better get back to stoning at my notes...

utterly sick

2007-11-26T21:05:00.000+08:00

Study Week

2007-11-21T11:01:00.000+08:00

As the title of my post and my msn nickname suggests, it is the study week. -Sighs- I guess this only depresses people cz nxt week is the start of the exams!!!! But no worries, cz i think i won't do too badly (hopefully). Now, my brain is all about holidays holidays and more holidays. haha i know this doesn't match the atmosphere in the air. Ah well.
Nothing much have been going on, except that i have been staying at home, studying, playing computer game and pacing about in the house. Hahx. Let's @@.. The MOST interesting thing i have done so far in the week.....

Prawn Catching- It was the ultimate event of the week! I went to Kranji Reservoir with nix, my bro and nix's NS friends to catch a couple of prawns! They are pretty big and interesting to catch! The biggest i caught was probably about 14cm long in body length, with thin and long arms. so interesting. We caught a total of about 7 big prawns, with many mini prawns. Brought back 2 big ones and placed them in nix's fishtank. so pretty! Ohya, I heard that nix's pretty fish got its tail bitten by one of the prawns.. Poor thing...
Touching up my favourite rabbit - I have 3 rabbits at home, one of them being white and furry. So, i went to trim its fur ytd. haha it was so funny. i feel like a really bad professional furstylist now. She look like a little sheep by the end of the trimming session. hahax. and of cz, pretty upset with me. hah.. now she wouldn't let me catch her. Oh well...

I guess those are the only interesting highlights of my week so far. Now, back to my studiees! Viruses, Protozoa, Innate immunity and adaptive immunity!

a little piece of me

2007-11-10T16:12:00.000+08:00

Looking back at the past, I've come to realize how time passes by so quickly. Within a year, i will be graduating from NUS. From studying in beijing, to finishing my high school in singapore and finally furthering my studies in a singapore university. Many things have happened, many things have changed.

And i have come to realize how much i have changed over the years. from a constant active girl, to one that sits at the corner of the classroom hoping that she was never there. From a girl with constant smile on her face, to one with smiles that shows the world that she will be fine. From studying overseas to coming back to a familiar hometown that no longer feels familiar.

Sometimes i ask myself, how did u manage to come so far? How did you even managed to make it to university, even though you are struggling to keep afloat now? And, what do you intend to do with your life? For that, i am glad to have you in my life.

No matter how hard life is getting now, how much tantrum i throw nowadays, you are always there, never giving up on me. For that, i thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Cz of you, I have a direction in the future. Happy Anniversary, my dear.

mOrE on FooD MiCroB

2007-11-09T20:26:00.000+08:00

I just had a lab on food microbiology. Hah. It was oddly interesting. Last week, we tested mango pudding from one of the food stalls in school. Did gram stain, etc and we thought that the mango pudding was one of the cleanest food around since there were not much funny bacteria moving around under the microscope.
However, interesting information were discovered today. In our agar plates, we found TONS of bacteria colonies, with gram positive and gram negative bacteria!!! Upon further calculations, we found out that our mango pudding has 8.3 x 10^7, which was very high!!! For safe consumption, quality of the food has to have below 1.0 x 10^6 bacteria. well, i am not sure if it is 1.0 x 10^6, but definitely 10^6 is correct! so yes its way too high for consumption. So ppl, think twice before you eat the food. Look at how food is prepared, the environment, etc or you might get into trouble with your stomach!

Food anione?

2007-10-31T15:09:00.000+08:00

Talking about food, have you ever thought of the handling, packaging, etc processes? Just take a little stroll along those hawker centres and you will probably find alot of things that will make you feel disgusted.
I was eating my self-cooked noodles this morning and my mum was watching this television show about fat people trying to cut down weight through different methods such as exercising and plastic surgery. I am not talking about normal fat people, but those who cannot even walk and I do emphasize with them. However, watching this show during my lunch wasn't exactly appetizing. Looking at their body weight, the flappy skins after losing weight, etc did make me a little nauseous. All my appetite just went down the drain. not to mention that my cooking wasnt exactly fantastic either.
After this session, i had a lecture on food microbiology in class today. hah. i think that only make me lose more of my appetite. The prof showed pictures of organisms that may be on your hand anytime and its actually thousands of colonies of bacteria and fungi! ahhhhhh... and talk about how easily food can be spoilt, the process of slaughtering chickens and cows. I don't think my appetite will ever improve today.........
looking forward to my mum's handmade mashed potato... hope i will be able to eat somethign!

OuCh!

2007-10-28T10:20:00.000+08:00

woke up this morning with a stiff neck. yikes. couldn't turn my head to the left. so i think i am to keep turning my entire body to the left if i want to look left for the rest of the day.
Other than that, morning was rather uneventful with lots of things i need to study etc. Feel that my life is rather empty... huhhhh....

Uncertainty

2007-10-01T19:50:00.000+08:00

A wave of fear just overcame me. amino acids, keto acids, tyrosines, GABA, glutamine, glutamate.... these terms are driving me crazy. Been trying to memorize the different pathways and enzymes for the class test tml that is worth 20% of the module's grade. it's the second time i am taking this module, so i really wanna do well. but i am worried.
I don't know if i can take this anymore with stress piling up on other work as well. studying immunology was really hard as well. feel like tearing up all the books and just set fire on them. I dun even know what i am doing now. I feel totally out of place.
If not for nix, I will never be able to take anymore of this. thank you dear. for always being there.

Afternn Tea

2007-09-14T11:59:00.000+08:00

Sitting at a little corner on my own, sipping on hot swiss chocolate, enjoying a plate of potato salad and busy typing away on my blog. Just the type of life that i like. It's 12pm now, which by right should be lunch time, but i had too full a breakfast to eat something heavy. Had a lecture on Immunology this morning and i was half asleep. hahax. didn't manage to absorb much in so i guess i have to study eh?
This weekend is gonna be so monotonous, with me studying and flipping notes. Hah. How ironic when one is supposed to enjoy weekends right? oh well, at least now i am enjoying my lunch. Time to get back to my work and look at hotels for holiday again! =) one of my biggest interest in life right now. heh. motivation as well.

Awaken

2007-09-07T10:06:00.001+08:00

Sudden realization that i've been living in my own dream world these two years. A talk with one of my labmates yesterday pulled me back into reality. I haven't been studying much and thus resulted in my current academic results. A sudden realization that i'm not as capable as the others and i would have to study much harder if i am to survive in this university. Everyone around me works hard and no doubt, are smart too. And what am i? Not smart, nor working hard enough. huh.
The sudden urge to end university life has been on my mind these few days. Yet, I know that if i jus ends it like that, it would be hard to find a decent job outside with burning questions from employers asking why i dropped out from school. Everything i've been yearning for in the future will be ruined by myself if i put an end to my university life now.
Yet, the stress and the utmost pressure is making me feel utterly depressed about university. who said that university life was gonna be easy? Whoever said this was definitely nuts. But i know, i must perservere. jia you shuqi!~

Holiday

2007-08-13T16:46:00.000+08:00

Went to Bangkok, Thailand on national day. it was a very interesting experience! instead of having a tour guide to bring us around, we just walked around on our own with the help of dad's colleague, Uncle Pisit. Went to chinatown where we had lots of Sharkfin *yum yum*, shopping at MBK centre and chatuchak *interesting places to go!!*
The most interesting experience was the massage. Hahax. I dun tink i wanna go into details here cz it was rather embarassing but comfortable! =) Aniwaes, not going to rant about the trip here but it is a must go place! =)

Though I've only been awake from about 11+am till now which is 12am, I am really tired. My stomach is feeling funny and my head is spinning. Managed to finish my geopolitics essay just now but I know from the bottom of my heart that it was really not a good essay. I guess it is time for me to pay attention in lecture. haii.
My exam on friday was a total mess. The topics which i studied hard for didn't came out but the ones that i did a 5 min study and went to bed came out as full length questions. =( Couldn't answer quite a bit of questions and this is quite sad. =(

Earliest day!

2007-01-23T07:45:00.000+08:00

I've 2 days where the lesson starts at 8am. (tues, fri). It is really tiring to try to wake up this early.. YaWnn.. And guess what. This is the first morning that i am ever so early to school!!! Reached school at around 730am. Haha... When i came into the lecture theatre, there was only 3 people? haha.. so i guess i am still not the first one to come to school. It's another ten more min to class and people are coming in really slowly. Guess nobody likes to wake up at 6 to come to school. YaWnnn...
CNY is approaching and i haven't exactly found any clothes that i would like for CNY. I've only got a top that looks like a dress and that's it. x_X i need shopping time. Anybody?

2nd week of school

2007-01-16T14:14:00.000+08:00

It is already the second week of schooL! And it is only today that i realised that my term holidays are in tune with the CNY holidays. *argh* that is like not giving us any holidays!!! *OBJECTION!!!!!* hai but i guess i can do nothing about it. My lecturer is 15 min late for class today! -not good for a lecturer- I hope she finishes up fast so that I can go home soon! =) Although i don't really have much hope for that. =(

Went to fishing pond on saturday. It was terrible totally. x_X The uncle was scolding my brother for sitting on the sofa (which i really don't understand cz there wasn't any sign which says do not sit) and sacarstically scolded me for charging my laptop. x_X NO MORE FISHING POND! *ROARRRR*

Anyways, more pictures!

Me and dear at Sungei Buloh. =) pretty sight. saw a crocodile too.

Went to shanghai during the holidays with my family and some friends. It was an okay trip but nothin much about it. I bought my rabbits a new cage as a christmas gift! Really likes it alot. Apparently they became quite lazy after getting the new cage but I need to train them on where to pee and poo! It is getting quite irritating cleaning the cage.. *arGhhh* In any case, take a look at my baby rabbits!

2006-09-08T12:37:00.000+08:00

It's not that i have nothing to do right now, cz i actually have loads of work on my hand. But i am simply too lazy to continue right now cz i am veryyyy tireddd.. An interesting thing happened yesterday. I actually went to book tickets for the SHINHWA CONCERT. I don't know if it will be a big hit in singapore on sunday, but i am definitely happy that i am actually going! *I think i am a little crazily tired now* But aniwaes, my piggy banks is going to go to zero soon if i continue to splurge like that.. x_X..

FishInG

2006-09-03T22:00:00.000+08:00

Yesterday went fishing in a fishing pond near Kranji Reservoir. We went at around 5+pm, with 7 people on a 5-seater car? haha.. try to imagine how the people behind squeeze.. Nixon's brother, Jimmy came along too.. and it was really funny when they tried to squeeze in becz my mum accidentally moved her seat back although she wanted to move it to the front to create more space. Jimmy screamed immediately! I think it must have hurt.. *hmmm..* Anyway, i was the driver of the day and ya i had pretty much space for myself. Lol.
At the fishing pond, the guys went fishing and i was there walking around and just basically doing all sorts of tasks.. Wrapping food, disturbing people, trying to read my notes, learning to fish.. heehee.. *multi-task* We had a mini-bbq there, and i spent quite a bit of time bbq-ing! My fingers went numb when i finally sat down to eat. Must be due to the heat.
Then walked around again, sit with nix and jimmy, learn to cast a fishing rod.. Haha.. i guess i am really bad at casting lines.. x_X THen we went to play MunchKins! About 7 players and it was really fun.. heehee.. seeing how people build from scratch to almost winning and suddenly just lose everything because you decided to sabotage. Hee.. *oOpzx* But aniwaes, We went to bukit batok for supper at 2am. Me, Nix and Jimmy went to look for food and then nix suddenly mention prata. So the first thing that came to my mind was Tissue Prata!!! I started tugging his shirt in a girly manner and said i wanted tissue prata.. Haha.. Then later Jimmy said he will learn from me.. Lolz.. That was quite funny..
After supper, we went home at about 3am. Damn tired la! I tink i woke up close to 12 this morning.. heehee...

Contradictions

2006-08-25T17:18:00.000+08:00

so what am i going to talk about? Contradictions. As i'm talking about this, my dear lecturer is talking about statistics in the front, contradicting himself. hee. Not to worry, he is good at statistics. However, he keeps going back on his word of letting us off and keeping us back. x_X. Let's see.
1. On the first day of the lecture, after 1hr of the lecture, he said the rest of the lecture is not impt and we could go off. After 1 second, he immediately said that his supervisor might scold and kept us back till 2 hours is done.
2. On the second lecture, he said he has to go at 5pm as he has to be at Science centre by 6pm. In the end, we left the lecture theatre at about 5.40?
3. And in today's lecture, he wanted to give us a break. Just 1 sec after he said that, he continued with the sentence "Then when are you guys going to come back?" and continued with his lecture. x_X
What a guy. I seriously don't know what is up his mind. so strangeeeee....

pictures

2006-08-25T10:51:00.000+08:00

Hee Linching. Look, i am nice enough by putting up pictures of you with eyes OPENED.. *joking*.. It took me some time to upload this cz the thing doesn't seem to be working well.. x_X... by the way, for the second photo, the birthday gal is the one on the left (Liana), the centre one is Lin Ching and the one of the right is me!

outing

2006-08-24T11:12:00.000+08:00

Phew blog.. This week has been quite hectic.. Couldn't catch up much on my sleep! On sunday, i went out with my ISS friends, Liana and Lin Ching. It was liana's bdae!~ Happy birthday gal! So we bought her a BIG baby Sylvester and a yummmmmmy chocolate cake! Oh ya.. we took neoprints too! Had our lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. (such a long namee..) But aniwaes, the people there were real nice. I was wrong about them being mean. hee. Cz i thought we shouldn't eat the cake at the restaurant as it was not very nice to the people there, but the people there actually asked us if we wanted plates and forks! haha.. i guess there are nice people after all.. Took some neoprints at the arcade.. guess it was quite cheap. Lol. Just that didn't have enough time to do all the designing and choosing stuff. The entire process was quite hilarious actually. Did i meantion that linching was half asleep during the entire process? Heez..I will upload pics another time! Cz the thing doesn't seem to be working.. -pouts- Anyways, the D&D pictures will also be uploaded! Look forward to a group of babarians on screen k!

Chocolate and Hazel

2006-08-18T14:37:00.000+08:00

This is a picture of my fav chocolate and hazel when they were small.. cutieeee..

But look at chocolate when she's older.. x_X.. so much bigger ya? The ears are much longer too...

But my cute little dwarf rabbit is still as small.. jus a little bigger that's all.

webcast

2006-08-18T11:02:00.000+08:00

If you are wondering what webcast is, it is just an excuse for students not to attend 8 o'clock lessons in the morning and dress up in their pyjasmas at home, switch on their laptop and looked at the screen featuring their fav lecturer in action. Yes, it actually means that we don't have to attend lectures if we don't want to because it will all be recorded down and we can just look at them anytime we like.
So, as a good student, i am in a lecture theatre now. Although i am sleeping through the lecture, I am still AT LEAST in the class. x_X.. So i guess i will go home and look at my screen later. *sobx* i feel like such a slacker.
It's our break time now. THe in between the lecture break. Lots of people talking away and I'm just typing away. Lots of things for me to do this weekend. Watching at leasdt 3 webcasts, reading up my notes, reading the readings for lectures, preparing myself for tutorials (which is still some time away), preparing myself for the once in a year D&D, as well as slacking away. haha.
Oopzx, lecture starting again. TIME TO GO......

-sneeze-

2006-08-14T21:57:00.000+08:00

sickx

2006-08-13T21:05:00.000+08:00

My bf's sick. He had diarrhea this morning and also vomitted quite alot. Came down with high fever by noon time. soooooooooo poor thing. *sobx* So today went over to see him, and "took care" of him lo. Helped him to change towels now and then, as well as do some of my work. He was sleeping the entire time, although i think he is more like half asleep la. I was kinda disturbing him. lol.
We went to visit a doctor later on in the evening, and it took us some time before we finally found one that's available. And guess what? The doctor thinks he is faking it so that he doesn't need to go back to camp. HEY! HE'S REALLY SICK OK!!! -angry- But he gave the mc aniwaes. Then went back, he ate some food and took med. I went home after that and tada, i am here updating.
Tomorrow's the first day of the second year. And i really don't wanna go to school!!! -pouts- But i'm lucky that I've only got 2 lessons tomorrow. Time to prepare for classes tomorrow!!

miscommunication

2006-08-10T13:26:00.000+08:00

miscommunication
I was watching tv at the fishing pond yesterday when the programme about miscommunication starts showing. Couples were quarreling because they were unable to understand each other, often resulting in divorces. And in my case, of course miscommunication does occur. I guess it really depends on how you solve it. Luckily for me, nixon was quite understanding and even though i kept mumbling rubbish he seems to accept it. x_X
Felt really sad this morning cause i thought i wouldn't be able to go shopping today. He had to meet up with his friends and as for me, I really thought I had to stay at home and rot with my darling rabbits. (-.-)" So i started "screaming" at him for all sorts of things. cause i was really looking forward to going out today with him since it was probably about a few months since we last really went out.
Although there's still friday and saturday, i still felt upset. But anyways, I am still going out today! yeah for me! Going to look for aishah later to get some stuff and look at some pretty shoes.. haha.. miss shopping life... and hopefully to get some stuff for my family as well..

ooOhoo.. on 6th July 2006, I've officially passed my DRIVING TEST! haha.. so now i can jus drive about on my own... *yiippee* Anyway, i was sooooooo stressed on the day of my test. When i woke up in the morning, the rain was dark with lots of chicken and cows falling down the sky. I was thinking... *damn.. its gonna be a bad day...*.. Then i had my warm-up driving lesson before the test. The rain became a drizzle, which i thought was great cz it might jus stop before the actual test... but who knows, it started pouring the moment my test started... *!&#(%^)!*$)* and my tester was freaking fierce!!!!!!! He kept telling me to go faster, if not he would tell me to cut into other ppl's path and stuff like that. x_X... BUT LUCKILY, he didn't get too many chances in minusing off my points.. so, I PASSED! heehee.. *Big cheesy smile*..
Anyway, lately have been working and stuff, so not much things to update.. Will post up pictures of my gathering with colleagues another time!

oOooooooo.. heehee.. i feel like such a slowpoke. This picture was actually taken in february, in one of my outings with my iss friends. yuppp.. they are a bunch of great ppl.. one more outing coming up! to celebrate boo's bdae.. which was almost a month ago.. so sorry. everyone is so busyy... hmm.. i dun seem to see LC online nowadays.. wonder where did she go.

I've been updating quite frequently, and i bet you can guess why. *i am BORED*.. yet i need to study.. how ironic is that? Anyways, its raining sheep and cows now. lol.. its much heavier than cats and dogs! Lately, it has been pouring almosdt every single afternn.. I dun remember any day that the afternn has not rained.. hmmmm.. Yesterday went for a facial and OUCH.. It hurts alot but at least my face is much cleaner now.. *happy happy*..

I think i better go back to my study instead of playing around.. yup... -big smile-

no mood to study

2006-04-16T19:30:00.000+08:00

This picture i borrowed from vivi. Thanks ah! hee.. i still haven't ask her for permission yet... hope you wun mind girl..

Yesterday's outing was sorta success? haha.. we went for lunch at Cafe Cartel and it was jack's treat. i was only joking when i told him that he has to treat us to lunch as he was late. oh well.. i guess he took it seriously.. Talked alot about BISS and stuff. Hmmm... then we went to take neoprint, as u can see there.. haha. the one who called himself a tiancai is actually a dummy! =X.. joking jack! Anyways, we went to play pool after that and vivi you are good! hee.. I guess i was really lucky to have won jack.. lol.. it was funny.. after which we went home cz i needa study.. sobx.. thanks vivi for accompanying me on the train triP! heehee i knew u were really really bored.. but that's not the main point. It rained really heavily on the way home. i wanted to take the bus all the way till it finishes its loop so that i dun have to cross the road. but realised that its door was sorta spoilt so decided to get off the bus early instead.

Ohya, it was so funny on the bus! was sitting next to the window and there was another next to the bus. As it was raining heavily and lots of water on the floor, the bus driver drove so fast that the water splashed all over the car, especially the windscreen.. it was hilarious. poor car. but it was an enjoyment to watch that. lol.

Now i am really really bored and dun have the mood to study. argh. that's really bad. guess i better try to at least sorta study!!!

2006-04-12T21:51:00.000+08:00

Today was my LAST tutorial and lecture. SO HAPPY.. haha.. but i fell asleep halfway through my last lecture, which was biodiversity. too tired. But in tutorial i was relatively awake though i dunno why. After that i went to science library to print the statistical tables so i can actually practise the past year exam papers! Then i went with charissa to Arts Faculty to collect our SS papers. We went to drink longan and barley first, and talked about everything under the sun. haha.. then saw choikwun, went up to collect our papers but the papers are not there yet.. gosh i tink when Kevin Khoo said the papers will be ready by 1pm, he seriously meant 1pm. >.<" So me and charissa sat in the history dept to talk again while choikwun went for her lunch. talk talk talk until 1240? then we went to collect papers. Know someone new again, called benjamin. He's charissa's tutorial classmate. I got C+ for my ss paper. *sadz*.. but i guess i have to work realllllllllly hard in the final so that i can score a B in the module. *let's hope i can at least score a B*...
Then went to bank with mum with tons of coins.. so heavy.. lucky i didn't have to bring them to the bank from home. lol. my mum and my sister nearly went bonkers trying to carry so much coins for banking in. Then the person began explaining some investments that they are having... and it took an hour plus? sat there like stone.. haha..
THen went to NTUC and popular to buy stuff.. came home, fell asleep once again and then my rabbits began crawling all over me.. ><".. had dinner and was watching tv.. *i should be studying*... played with my rabbits again and then tada.. i am here blogging.. lol.. saw my biodiversity results just now. was relatively happy with them. for the 6 "test" papers or should i say quiz, i scored between B- to A+.. so ok la.. happy happy... now i better go study..*tml nix is coming out.. yeahhhhhhh*

office politics

2006-03-27T10:27:00.000+08:00

bleh.. i hate office politics.. *roar*.. I never knew things can be that bad.. *RRRRRRRRRRR* but i will not explain things here...
Every SINGLE thing went wrong yesterday... i was supposed to sleep in, then study my biodiversity and then go work. BUT BUT BUT... I had to wake up early to go to my grandparents house, have a "debate" over how i am going to go to work and having MORE problems at work. *rrr*... ohya.. and my bf told me that.......... that......... *not we breaking up*.. but.. my bunnies are both female.. *sobx*.. no next generation... sobx sobx..
hee.. but the roses make me happy... lalala...
Yesterday i had a weird dream but interesting.. heee... my bf bought my dream phone for me! haha... ok i tink i am crazy...... *yawnnnnnnnn*

WW3

2006-03-21T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yesterday. A tragic happened. A battle between Curry Rice and Mocha Freeze occurred in my stomach. I was throwing up in the toilet for at least 5 times? but nothing was coming out. Tummy was spinning like nobody's business and I felt dizzy. Finally, i couldn't stand it. Dad picked me up from school and sent me home. Went to the doctor straight away. Doc Yeo said i had world war 3 in my tummy. The battle was fierce. 6 different kinds of medicine was given to me. 3 of which i have to complete the course.
After i had my med at about 6, i had my dinner and continued with my med again which have to be eaten after dinner. I tried to watch tv for a while, but i immediately dozed off on the sofa. I wasn't feeling tired! but it was the medicine that was working its way through me. ><" i felt like a jelly and went to bed straight away.
Now.. i am not allowed to eat chilli, milk or stuff like tat.. i hope it is only for a few days.. hee... cz i dun want to miss my fav yogurt freeze..

sleepy

2006-03-20T12:51:00.000+08:00

Last two days have been tiring.. but i dunno with what. hee.. Let's @@.. Friday i went to Suntec Convention Centre with nixon, and we had lots of food. haha.. i think we bought more stuff to bring home.. *sticks tongue out*. and saw my cousin, jack there... yupp that crazy pig was there too.. *oopz*...

Next day.. working... heehee.. 2-6.. and i was so dead tired that i couldn't keep myself focused.. ARGHHHHHH.... but i managed to clinch a few deals.. that means more money in pocket! hee... then went home to do my work until 12... 6+ woke up... 8+ had my english presentation which sorta went ok.., haha.. but i guess i stumped the whole class with what a modifer is... ohb welllllllllllll.....

stats mid-term

2006-03-16T23:18:00.000+08:00

waaaaaaaaaa.. i think it was almost a disaster... ><".. My statistics mid-term.. Oh well, just have myself to blame czx i wasn't working hard enough! just like xiaoqian said, i should work harder!!it mainly means that i have to start doing my tutorials.. heehee.. right xiaoqian? Went through the given answers just now, and realised i got half my mcqs wrong and one of my problem sums wrong. yupp.. so.. let me do the simple maths.. highest mark that i can get is = 4 x 5 + 5 x 3 = 35. and that is out of... 60.. yupp.. does that mean just pass? heeheez.. i dunno.. jus pray hard i guess.. heehee.. *evil*..
Anyway, had a big accident before stats.. I was making my way down from FST2201 class. then i went *thump thump thump thump* and landed right on my butt on the bottom of the stairs.. omg.. i was so embarassed.. ><".. not to mention that my butt hurts.. and that's the beginning of me feeling something is definitely going to go wrng in my exam.. x_X...
Tomorrow is LSM1103 prac.. let's hope everything will go just well.. i think i better go sleep and wake up tml morning to study or something? hee..

-In Class-

2006-03-13T09:56:00.000+08:00

Whooooo... now i am in my PR2202: Cosmetics and Perfumes lecture.. *so sian* charissa is not coming to class today so i will just rot in the lecture hall and see what happens later.. haha.. i might jus run away.. *who knows*.. very hard to see me guai guai sit in the lecture hall.. hmmm.. gotta start studying now... i feel like such a BUM... ><"... lots of work to do.. exams coming in a month's time and i still dunno what's happening in class.. *this is deadly*..
So now i REALLY gotta plan out my time-table so that i will be able to catch up with my studies.. jusdt heard from my bf that my bunnies ran out of their cage again!!! this is exasperating... ><"... Chocolate guai guai went to my bf later on.. but hazel is nowhere to be found.. that boy is so hard to catch.. *haiya*..... wonder what will happen when he comes to my house.. maybe my mum will catch him to cook rabbit soup ah.. lol... *joking la*.. my mum loves rabbits as well...
Was late to class this morning. Had my english in the morning and it was hilarious.. ><"... i threw double ones in a game!!!! ><" so unlucky today ehhhhhhhhhhh..... *hai*.. i guess i must work harder next time!!!
When i went out of home this morning and was waiting for the bus, i started thinking of how much i hated to wear school uniform in the past and wanted to wear home clothes to school.. now, i am thinking why we dun have a uniform in uni.. ><"... its always troublesome to think of clothes to wear to school everyday...

sadx

2006-03-02T19:30:00.000+08:00

Feel so sadxxxxxxxxxx... *SoBx* Xiaoqian messaged me my results for Introduction to Human Nutrition test. I got 35/50 for the test.. It was quite good, i mean, considering that i actually PASSED the paper by 10 marks. BUT... the average score was 42.8marks, and that means I've done really bad... *sobxXxX*.. ok, it can't be blame i guess. This is because I wasn't studying hard. So I have to study harder!! *yuppp shuqi jia you!!*
Yesterday was the release of the A'Levels results. It was quite good, and i really hope nix will get into NUS! haha.. which he doesn't seem willing cz i pester him too much. lol.. think he will opt for NTU instead.. come on.. NUS IS NOT A BAD CHOICE!!! haha... *big smile*

2006-02-28T12:27:00.000+08:00

Had my test yesterday and i think it went OKAY... ><".. not really fantastic cz i didn't study... *ShruggzxX* but i had a great day yesterdaY! Let's @@... Had English in the morning which wasn't exactly great but it was good. Then i had Perfumes and Cosmetics lecture where the lecturer kept being biased towards NUS students.. haha.. its actually funny.. but shouldn't be posted here.. *a little too radical*.. Yupp.. Had lunch with Charissa, which was mixed rice with curry! i guess both of us really like it alot.. haha.. aniwaes, during stats lecture, Libby gave me a box of cookies.. IT'S GREAT GAL! very nice cookies.. heehee.. then shuyi gave me a card with wire-bookmark.. It's sooooo pretty.. thank you shuyi!! And Chunzhen, choikwun and Xiaoqian gave me a chocolatey cake!

Birthday

2006-02-26T21:09:00.000+08:00

Turned a year older. Everyone said i am getting older. So i am officially 19 now. any comments? Really wish time can stop now cz i really really don't wish to grow any older.. *Sobx* But apparently that is not going to happen and i have a big crisis in front of me now. *sadx* Tml is my Introduction to Human Nutrition exam and i am not in the least prepared for it. Everything that i am reading just came right out of my brain. Nothing is absorbed.
Must be wondering how i spent my birthday eh? Everything was fine in the morning and afternn until i came home. Had Lunch at Marina Square with my family at this restaurant called Pariss something. Yup. Great food! I think i almost tried everything there. *oopz* pig yeah.. The thing i had most was my favourite chocolate. haha.. chocolate fountain. Too bad there's no apple or strawberry for me to dip the chocolate with. x_X.. But yeah.. ate alot.. i really mean ALOT.. i think of the 5 of us there, i ate the most. not to mention my sis of course.
Spent the whole day with my bf yesterday. I think it is becoming a tradition. Last year, he also spent the whole day shopping with me before my birthday. haha. Yupp. So i was at Marina Square (again) and Suntec City. Lots of sales going on! haha.. that is sooooooo good. yup.. just suits me. Everything was paid by him ytd.. *so paiseh*.. Had dinner at Tony Roma's.. Ribs.. ahhh... i think both of us went crazy cz it was far too much food for two of us. haha.. anyhow order. ><"... We bought some clothes and cosmetics stuff. And bought things for my fav bunnies of cz. haha.. they are becoming more and more sticky le. When we first got them, they were trying to run away from us all the time. And yesterday, when i went to clean their cage and let them out, they were running around me. so cute. And when i walked to one side, they came along and stood on their hind legs, with their front paws on my legs. Kawaii.. yupp.. love them more and more. heehee. But they are getting so much fatter.. =.=".. haha.. must put them on diet.. *training time!*
Now i feel so much better. haha.. now i can go back to study!
