ive been feeling a little confused recently. im not sure if what im thinking is right, or wrong. im not sure if i should be thinking about this. but anyway, im quite thankful that there's someone in school who really cares about how i feel and is always around to cheer me up when im sensing a tinge of unhappiness. thanks d. yet, i still think about it more often than i should. this is a really risky border that im trying very hard to not cross. cause if i do, its going to be disastrous. rationally, i should keep everything as status quo, but there's this tugging in my heart. this tugging that im not sure is going to work out. nevertheless, i keep myself sane, and tell myself to stay focused on my work and nothing else. and d is cute cause she sent pictures of herself to keep me from thinking about things that will not happen and to think about her. haha. loves!

i just realised something today. this is quite cool. google often changes its banner and its search engine page. so when the pacman one came, i just thought it was another random design the graphic people thought of. but then, i realised this little 'insert coin' button at where the 'im feeling lucky' used to be. so i clicked on it, hoping its not something like what they always pull off on april fool's. then, i could play pacman on the header itself! try it. im not kidding. this is really, quite innovative.

ive been thinking about friendship a lot. i used to think that good friends will always be there, no matter how much effort you put into maintaining the relationship. but i realised i was wrong. i lost a group of really good people because i thought of it that way in the past. friends are there because we lean on each other, and help each other go through difficult times. and true friendship can only be when it goes through trials. i guess that the relationships can only be maintained if everyone puts in similar amount of time, and effort into keeping it alive. which is why im trying my best to stay in contact with the current group of friends. cause i know how bad it gets to lose your best friends, and i dont want that to happen to us.

so i planned a gathering, and i had to fall sick. dang.

2010-05-16T23:49:00.003+08:00

i probably should be asleep now, right this moment. but i want to take some time off the fast-paced weekend and just reflect on what happened last week.

i guess many choices we make throughout our lives are based on what we call, morals. or some like to call, ethics. yet, there's no clear black/white differentiation. more often than not, its the grey part that is debated upon. recently, someone i know of crossed this ethical line. it makes me wonder whether there are things that, once you start doing and keep doing it for a long time, that you forget what the goal is. i keep asking myself if we're doing something just because it needs to be done, or if we're doing it because it will make a difference to somebody. not everybody, but at least, one somebody. back to that person i was talking about. its probably a kind gesture, or maybe, it could be done with ill intention. certainly i not want it to be the latter. but after so long, i hope everyone, no matter what is done, can take a moment before doing it, to reflect and ponder over what you're about to do and ask yourself, "is this right?"

2010-05-14T23:14:00.001+08:00

there are expectations that need to be fulfilled,

and i cant wait forever.

2010-04-30T22:51:00.002+08:00

sometimes, its not all easy in life. people take you for granted and you get bullied. you get overloaded with all those stuff and youre rarely recognised for they efforts you engaged. you seem to be the only one that can do it and thus, it is you that have to do it. but there're many obstacles in life that one needs to chew on and get it over with. now is the time. now is when we, as freshies, have to chew like crazy. where gum is everywhere and all we can do is chew them off everything. we've not reached the point where we can point people in the face and tell them something is out of what we need to do. but when we do, we can proudly say we worked our way up till that day. so, live, and learn. i tell myself to be grateful for opportunities and look at things in a more positive way. it's always going to be hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

2010-03-15T22:28:00.009+08:00

im damn happy. cause i finally bought my slr. haha! so yesterday, j and i went to the IT show at suntec. as always, i go there having the mindset that it'll be a good bargain. but actually, pricing is the same. they tend to throw in a couple more freebies than the normal shops at funan or wherever else. well anyway, i want to talk a little bit about buying the right products for yourself. ive come to realise that buying stuff, any stuff, is about being comfortable using it. i thought that since i was going to get something that's so expensive, i should collect enough data from slr users in my circle, gathering my research before deciding which to get. i got many recommendations, nikon d90, d3000, d5000, canon 500d, 550d, sony alpha 550. i actually pre-set my mind about getting a nikon before going to the show cause my friends are using nikons and it'll be easy to share lenses. but when i held on to the devices at the booths, i realised its not about which one your best friend uses, which one the photography expert tells you you should buy because of whatever specifications. it all doesnt matter. well, actually, it does a little. but my point is, whats more important is how you feel about the device itself. i didnt like the nikons and the sonys the first time i picked them up. honestly, i thought it was really smart of sony to have the moving screen thing, but it wasnt something i'd like to own. but when i took the first shot with the 500d, i loved it. j didnt have much comments so i decided to get the canon. aiyah, but later after i got on the cab, i thought, i could have paid another $150 to get the 550d. but whatever, nevermind la. haha, buy already. and it cost me a bomb, almost as much as my macbook. so ex. i overspent by 300bucks. ): anyway, i havent really used it yet cause i need to charge, and unpack, and go to daiso to buy some mothballs to keep it in a drybox.

well, here's the new camera!

canon plastic bags. i dont like plastic bags with handles like these, they hurt your fingers especially when your stuff is real heavy.

here's the camera, still unwrapped.

see, my money. suddenly very poor.

here it is! i used to think the pro camera's canon/ nikon/ sony strap is really cool. now, i have one!

here's what i actually bought - a canon 500d kit 1, including the 500d body and a 18-55 lens.

here's also what i like about this camera, its really handy and light. i want to bring it out overseas so it really has to be portable.

and a whole range of freebies that came along - a tripod, an additional battery, 2 8gb + 1 4gb sd cards, the carrying case which pro photographer uncles always carry, and the eos 500d guidebook which i found out was $14.90 in borders.

haha, and uob had a lucky draw and i dipped 2 pairs of gv movie tickets. j and i havent been to the cinema for a longgggg time. so we'll be going soon!

i used to take pictures. now, i take photographs.

2010-03-06T17:00:00.008+08:00

been so very long since ive updated. but here are the main things i think i should journal down.

1. hangzhou work trip was really successful! the kids were nice and they enjoyed the enrichment programme. we received a call from the principal a week after we returned saying that the parents liked the lessons. i think we can look forward to going again. i hope my other colleague can go this time. i think i'd feel better working with her. i really enjoyed this trip. all except the weather, which was a little too cold. but towards the end, it got a little better cause i was more used to it. anyway, here are some photos with the kids there.

entire series of photos on fb. i really hope i can go back. lovesss

2. work has been on and off busy. a bunch of students will start their classes next week. i hope i can continue doing my job well. im starting to see certain parts that i dont like, but its okay. i still hope everything will work out.

3. timo went to tekong. my mom and i keeps fighting over spoiling him too much. we argue so much i dont even want to talk about it. but anyway, i think he's fine. at least his 2 weekend confinement wasnt exactly 2 weekends. he came back yesterday to collect his 'a's. i remember then when yt, pq, cl and i were newcastle ambassadors and we went to his school for the roadshow. he hid away cause he didnt want ppl to see me lo. haha. damn funny. now its his turn. time passes so quickly a day doesnt even feel like one anymore.

4. one of my colleagues is getting married next week. this is literally the first wedding im attending since starting to work. haha. first red packet out.

5. coming IT show, i think i'll go get my dslr. ive been eyeing one since a long time ago. i dont really wanna do the professional photo-taking. i just want one that i can use long term for fun. especially when i go overseas, i feel like the photos taken with my ixus looks really noobish. so ive been saving up for this. but i dont really know if i should get the d50 or the 500d. i havent done my research so i'll need to look through specs this week.

6. birthday party on 19th this month. this month will be a huge expense month. i hope i still get to save up though. i got the clubhouse chalet @ pasir ris. i really need to get down on planning the food cause i havent even looked through basic packages.

darn. so much to do this week.

2010-01-26T21:28:00.003+08:00

it never changes. i just keep getting busier.

next week, i'll be flying to hangzhou for work. i used to think i'd be extremely excited if i get to go out of singapore for work cause 1) i love travelling, 2) i'll be going out for free, 3) i may even get paid extra while im there, 4) i can do some personal shopping, and probably the most important, 5) it silently means the bosses have faith in your abilities to carry out work on your own. but somehow, this time. im not very excited. in fact, i really wished i didnt have to go. but i do, and its work, so ive been telling myself again and again that ive to be professional, go over and get the job done. i guess the main reasons why im dreading this is cause im not confident i can do a good job. the bosses are calling this a 'make it or break it' deal, which seriously adds to the pressure. im worried that the kids dont like the lessons ive planned. im worried that the teachers ask funny questions i cant handle and i have totally no idea how to get out of awkward situations. im worried that i get the writer's block, but in this case, the teacher's block. im worried that whatever ive planned might no go smoothly. im worried that i planned work that's either too simple or too difficult and i dont know how to carry lessons on. im worried about a hundred and one things, and i cannot assure myself on any single one. plus, i know the weather's going to be horrible. it's going to be snowing and the last time i went to somewhere that snowed was 12 years ago in tokyo. i hope i dont get sick and cant do the job well.

i just feel like hiding away.

2010-01-17T22:30:00.003+08:00

did my hair together with mom and aunt this afternoon. (:

ive been extremely busy recently. the workload piles up like mad, but i always dont know what to start with. sigh. i dont even want to explain it here cause everything's just too complicated. i just want to teach my kids and enjoy my job. cause besides edutrust, i like everything else here. sadly, edutrust is gonna take up more than half my job for the next two weeks. ):

but there's something to be happy about. ace99 was hiring and yenting got the job. we'll be working together in the future! currently, we'll still in in different offices, but when we move to the new building, we'll all share the same huge office. im super excited! nothing beats having a bestie working in the same environment. we'll call internal lines to talk about lunch, and where to go after work, and what to do over the weekends. haha. i cant wait. WELCOME ah kah!

2010-01-03T22:18:00.016+08:00

yesterday was cook a pot of chicken soup day. haha. i was craving for traditional chicken soup and the food court downstairs didnt have it. so i went grocery shopping and whipped it up for dinner!

raw ingredients - a whole jumbo chicken, 4 australian washed potatoes, 2 medium-sized carrots. i also had 2 whole onions added when the soup simmered.

raw chicken, washed and chopped up into smaller pieces.

potatoes and carrots, skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces

to give the chicken soup a tinge of traditional taste, i used the above herbs. as you can see, there's a lot of wolf berries cause i love them. and the stalk of ginseng is a young one. you shouldnt use an old big ginseng for boiled soup. just a small stalk will give you enough to taste.

haha, jiaquan looking silly.

in a pot of boiling water, add in the chicken, potatoes and carrots.

keep stirring to keep the heat even.

when the soup comes to boil, pour in all the herbs and continue stiring till it boils.

cover the pot, turn down the flame, and simmer for the next hour.

add in a dash of pepper before serving.

tadah! yummy traditional chicken soup.

here's a hint if you want to keep your soup from being too oily. ten minutes before the soup finishes cooking, throw in a tea bag that has already been used. if you use a fresh one, you'll be drinking chicken tea in the end. hahah!

my new wallpaper. lovesss!

2009-12-28T11:56:00.002+08:00

so christmas is over. im looking forward to this coming long weekend again! maybe i'll ask j out, cause i have a craving for earle's salad buffet. hee.

the christmas party this year was good. we secluded ourselves away from the hustle and bustle to this really ulu place in sembawang - the clubhouse's holiday resort. we had a bbq, and some xmas games, and spent a whole three days there. im blaming myself for putting my swimming stuff back into the wardrobe when i packed my bag cause i thought i wouldnt want to swim. THE POOL WAS BECKONING AT ME THE ENTIRE STAY, OMG. other than that, it was a good getaway. except, there's not much we did cause the place was too ulu. they should build like a mall or something. or for goodness' sake, have a mart or restaurant! daddy had to drive out like 4 times to get supplies. haha.

i also went to j's workplace for the first time. all in my mind, haha. i imagined a guardhouse to be a tattered wodden hut with straw roofings but it turned out to be quite a quaint little glass house with air-conditioning and condensation on the window panes. haha. i must be living in dreamolosarus age. haha.

2009-12-17T20:46:00.003+08:00

presents for the kids who did well for their exam. (:

tomorrow's the end of the week again! my time really passes like ultra quickly. i dont think ive ever experienced time fly at such an extend before. most of the students will be off for their break so there'll be lesser classes till the next batch of new students come in. i really want to make full use of this not-so-busy period to finish up all the admin stuff. i also want to prep for as many classes as i can. haha, if i can prep an entire year's lesson, then i'll have a lot of free time when lessons start! LOL! boss said that he'll be teaching the older kids that take the more advanced paper next semester, so that'll lighten my load by a lot! currently, i teach them something like gp, and its so hard to get them to finish their essays. i really dont want to be chasing them time after time. i sound really naggy. and im starting to feel old, though yining calls me the baby of kingston. haha. oh, and i should mention, that tuesday was my official start of 2nd month. i cant wait for next month's 15th. i'll get my namecards then and i'll be confirmed! yay! and, i cant wait for payday.

christmas is coming. this is the best time of the entire year.

2009-12-13T13:05:00.006+08:00

this is gonna be a little advertorial for my besties, who have set up an online shop.

yesterday after work, i went to ting's place. suppose to help out at their first open shop for their website. but there werent many people, so i watched a lot of tv on her humongous tele instead. mummy ting wanted to mj, but i really didnt have enough time. so next time we will!

i also had to give my support, so jiaquan came and bought me a bag which i absolutely loveeeee. here it is!

i love the detailing at the edges and how it looks like real snake leather. but it actually is just synthetic. i keep feeling it cause its so nice to touch! haha. i really want to just keep it that way and not put my stuff in to use it. i'll decide tomorrow whether i should use it. i think i will though. cause if i dont, then it really is a waste.

my dear readers, do go to their website to take a look! IT'S HERE!

ting also did my nails in a pretty shade of maroon. i love the shimmer! suddenly, i realise how much i miss the uni bunch of people. i need to spend a lot more time with them.

2009-12-10T19:59:00.003+08:00

life presents itself in many different routes, but which we pick determines how we end up. yet, how to make the correct choices is the key. it isnt simply weighing the advantages. im a strong believer that i must always follow the silent voice in the heart that tells me what choices to make. this evening i closed my eyes and saw the future, and i know i need to decide which path to go now.

For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

2009-11-29T16:43:00.023+08:00

okay, so here's the post ive owed for a couple of weeks now. convocation was on 14th november, and ive picked a couple of more significant photographs for this entry. i tried consolidating photographs from all the cameras present on that day and there are a total of 2K+ photographs. haha. camwhoring is a virtue. LOL!

from left: lester, tini, grace, denise, eugene, peiqi, yenting, chialer, pamela and kenneth

graduation was a great success. but im pretty upset that our school didnt have an official cap throwing thing. the other girls did their own outside the convention hall but i would have hoped they got all of us to do it together. anyway, i'll miss the people at uon. especially dr steve and dr pia.

2009-11-28T23:37:00.006+08:00

RIP Emile, the hammie who's only been with me for a year.

remy was kinda moody this afternoon when i realised emile had passed on. he wasnt active like he usually was, and was just lying in a corner. so, i decided that i'd move him into a bigger and nicer home. for an hour, i cleaned up an old fish tank of daddy's and arranged the interior for remy. well, all my accessories were made for a cage, so many of the things didnt fit well for a tank. so, i had to improvise in order to keep the water bottle, the wheel and the bathing plate. tadah!

and after, he was a whole lot better. poking his nose around, exploring his new home.

2009-11-24T21:16:00.003+08:00

i'll enter a post while mubank and mucore is loading on another tab. haha. here's something to be happy about. a fellow part-time teacher and a student are into kpop! LOL! the student's a total fangirl lo. she's going to get glitter powder cause she's creating a huge banner to support ft island when they're coming. haha. i talk to her about kpop like every single day. haha. well, everything korean aside, school's pretty good so far. the workload never gets lighter, and my datelines for my big projects are approaching. i really hope i can finish all these quickly cause its stressing me out. but these stuff keeps me busy, and i never find myself bored at all, which is something ive been very thankful for since the first day i joined. generally, i get along really well with the students. i hope they like me as their teacher. this afternoon, i brought the younger kids to the science centre. they can be quite a handful, but on the overall, we enjoyed ourselves and learnt quite a lot. its been long since i went there and so everything's interesting. the kids had a great deal of fun too, i can tell. let's hope they're as enthusiastic when it comes to my homework. HAHA.

anyway, im gonna put off posting about convo till i finish sorting out all the photographs.

2009-11-12T21:18:00.002+08:00

im feeling really good today. firstly, convo is in two freaking days! im so excited. partially cause i'll be seeing some really great mangoes. HAHA. next, we're going off to malaysia on sunday to celebrate graduation. im sorry we cant go further/ longer cause most of us have to work. and i dont really wanna take long leave cause i will in april, when we go to hongkong, again. well, here's another thing that makes me cheerful tonight. my boss just texted me and said that i could leave school early tomorrow cause convo is on sat and he wants me to go get my hair and nails and everything done. LOL! i dont think i will. i'll just go home and sleep. wahaha. i think its really nice of him to do something like that. it makes to r/s between the teachers and all the other staff an informal and friendly one. and i really like that. oh! i should mention that one of my colleagues got his confirmation yesterday and received his stack of name cards. i cant wait for mine, which is in two months!

photos of convo in next entry! i hope there'll be a lot. i told jiaquan to not stop snapping during the whole event. haha.

2009-11-08T18:04:00.003+08:00

i removed the jonghyun header cause ive decided i no longer want to be a shinee fangirl. haha. i'll just be a supporter, that follows quite a lot of shinee's happenings. LOL! so, i was surfing shinee youtube, twitter, fb, etc when i came across this picture that i really love. everyone's smiling so brightly so i set it on my desktop. will change the jonghyun image on my school notebook as well.

sunday is a boring day for me. i wanted to go out for a walk but im coming down with something. i can totally feel it. its this strong wriggly feeling at my nose, something like flu. but im not feverish or tiresome. ive just been sneezing a lot lately and ive got a hoarse throat. ah! maybe i got the flu thing from onew. haha. but monday's an important day in school and i dont wanna be sick when the people from casetrust comes down to interview us. im also taking the boys out on tuesday to the library so i need to be absolutely well. plus, the weekend is graduation. so please, dont fall sick! i think i should go pop something before i sleep tonight.

2009-11-05T21:26:00.002+08:00

i have no idea what to write about tonight, but i figured i should do a consolidated entry about my work life and yadda yadda. so here's a typical day.

wakes up around 615am. showers and washes up. gets dressed for work. leaves home with dad for a lift to church. takes a 30-minute bus ride to school. goes for breakfast at canteen. be the first to reach school everyday. clocks in at around 820am. boots up my pc and while it loads, i'll fill my mug up with green tea. sits at my desk and checks email and fb a little. other teachers and bosses start strolling in aroun 850am. officially starts work. prepare for the day's classes. go to classrooms to conduct lessons or be in the staff room doing a lot of things. (my most recent workload includes 2 SOWs and resources co-ordination, which all need to be completed by mid dec.) lunch around 1230pm with the other staff. be back in office before 130pm. time flies. the next moment i look at the clock, its time to knock off. i usually leave school around 630pm after tidying up my desk. heads home and sleeps the night away.

haha. i feel really wierd typing this routine out. when i was in school, i'd never thought i'd be able to keep to a schedule and turn up everyday without fail. i usually skip classes at least once a week. but this discipline work has forced into my life is something i never expected myself to get used to that quickly. i think partially, the nature of my work plays an important role. i enjoy my work, which is why i never hesitate to sit up every morning when my cell plays 'hot issue'. really hope this lasts!

tomorrow is friday. i love saturdays, even though i have to work a half day. cause its the day i have no classes and the most free time to finish up all my preparations and other work.

2009-10-27T22:47:00.003+08:00

you know, i used to have this impression that working is tiresome and boring because youd finish a task and have to wait for your boss to assign something to you. and this thing that youre asked to do will probably take half the amount of time he expects, and thus, you'll end up looking very free when youre doing nothing but surfing boring websites. but i was so wrong. ive been here less than 2 weeks and im getting all these responsibilities. i'll talk about them in a while. before that, i think i should mention that i was quite skeptical about the job since its my first permanent placement and i was unsure if i'll do well. for the first couple of days, i had these thoughts running through my mind that my bosses might cut me anytime because they a. find me unsuitable for the job, b. think im too green, c. sourced for a more suitable candidate for the same position, etc etc. and the list goes on. then i see how much they include me in things and now, i feel like this is not only a school i work in. this is my school, those are my students, my kids. and these people i see everyday really want me there, to work with them for as long as my passion still lies within this field. the feeling that you're only at work because the company needs someone, or anyone, there doesnt exist here. and im really glad i agreed to join. im getting all these responsibilities and they give me a sense of belonging, knowing that im part of everything academic that happens in the school. i teach, plan lessons, plan syllabi, organise field trips, handle the kids and their problems, and many many more. there's so much going on that most of the time, i really find myself fighting the clock to finish everything before 6pm. well, most of the time, i stay back for another half hour or so, just to complete whatever im working on. im also really glad that our school's coming up with a booklet of some sort, and my profile is included in it. plus, my boss mentioned an expansion to our school in hangzhou and all of us might take turns to go there. im really excited about this career and how it'll path itself for me. and im extremely grateful that i have a job that i love in all aspects, even though im fresh.

2009-10-18T18:49:00.003+08:00

i feel like the little cardboard foldout in the image cause i think i might never find the time to enjoy life.

ive been at work for 2 days now, last thurs and fri. but i put off blogging about work because ive been really busy. ive already gotten down on planning courses, working out syllabi, preparing lessons, conducting lessons and setting tests papers. the two days seemed to fly pass extremely quickly. i have no idea how come though. i think next week will too, since im gonna be teaching more classes. my desk is full, literally, and i have to keep shifting my stuff away after ive used them, or else i'll have no space to work with. on friday, MOE refused my application because UoN's official transcript was not released yet. then, i got sj to help me churn out an award letter so im hoping MOE will approve that. otherwise, boss says i'll have to stop work till i go through convo. that's gonna be real disappointing because it'll take around a month. another thing i wanna rant about is transport. my school's in katong and though it isnt very far away from sengkang, i take a real long time to get there because the only bus that goes all the way is 43, which has a frequency of 15-20 minutes and takes an hour and half to reach. so, daddy fetches me out to church so i can catch a bus from there. but since daddy works at 8am, i leave home at 7am, which is also why im always at school an hour earlier than reporting time. i hate this. i need the circle line at paya lebar to operate so i can sleep more and get to work just on time. grr. well, other than that, i think everything else is fine. i love that my boss is really open about doing personal stuff during work time because he says fb, twitter, etc. are all fine. all except msn. haha. so you guys can skype me anytime.

on a brighter note, shinee's new song ring ding dong is superb. and the performances at music bank and inkigayo are awesomeeeee! loves.

2009-10-12T14:42:00.002+08:00

so, this morning, i went to school and made it official.

IM A TEACHER!

i went for countless interviews for all sorts of jobs, and ironically, i landed the job that i was not interviewed for. and, it's the job first on my want-to-work-forever-in-this-line list. also on that list includes events, pr and journalism (of course). but i do hope that i can stay in this line for a really long time. i dont wanna go through the job hunting stage again because its so horrible to be waiting for interview results. plus, i like the people in the school and some of the students seem nice. i start work officially on thursday, but there'll be a bbq party on wednesday night to celebrate the end of examinations for the younger kids and i'll be there.

im feeling really thankful that after being disappointed time after time, i finally got my most desired job.

2009-10-07T12:04:00.003+08:00

so yesterday, i went for a meet up with the head of academics and the director of kingston international school. well, i figured since i want to work into the education sector, the best place to be and improve myself is with a full-fledged school with a campus, departments and opportunities to work towards a higher goal, instead of the education/tuition centres which only offer classes that are considered a supplement to mainstream education. i was pretty surprised when they brought me into the director's office and confirmed me on the spot. i guess it is also because i told them ive got another offer at another centre, which sadly, i have to reject them now. so after i left, i spoke to mom and jiaquan about it. i didnt sign an official appointment letter, and jiaquan felt a little skeptical that they might not accept me because nothing is finalised until i have it in black and white. im quite optimistic though. i liked the place, and i think i did quite well while speaking to the people there. moreover, we had already discussed starting dates and which classes they would want to hand to me to teach. i just hope they didnt have the official appointment letter ready because they didnt expect they'll confirm anyone on the spot that every day. well, no matter how, i'll hope this goes well and i can start work next thursday.

2009-09-29T21:50:00.004+08:00

i met up with whizz-land this morning, and im really excited to join them as an official english teacher for next year. im looking forward to the training with other teachers, meeting the children, and getting to know the rest of the staff in the organisation. i love the flexibility it offers. i can be there and also keep my current students. if all goes well, hopefully i'll be able to convert to ft and maybe, just stay in this line forever. loves it!

and today, while i was at yishun, i had lunch at this really fabulous place in northpoint. i think it's been there for quite a while, just that i never knew. i guess timo must have though. its a japanese-themed foodcourt. the atmosphere and deco is really traditional and all the stalls sells japanese food. i thought it was quite a nice place to hang out. (:

2009-09-24T15:57:00.004+08:00

graduation's coming up in a bit and im really excited! i wanna do the many things graduands do with my dear friends. i wanna smile widely and snap a picture with steve. i wanna throw my hat together with many other people. i wanna run all over the hall looking for my best friends to hug and congratulate each other. i cant wait for 14 nov and i hope it comes real quickly. and then there's the dinner at copthorne. i truly hope we'll have a blast. it's gonna be so much fun!

we should paint the town red!

2009-09-24T00:00:00.002+08:00

i wanna talk a little about anger management today. one of my students, jon'lee-roy, has some problem with managing his anger. he's a very sweet boy, but gets really heated easily. i feel that that he reminds me of a younger me, a point of time where i get angry at the slightest irritation. but i grew out of it, and i seriously hope jon will too. its not a good feeling, and i try so hard to calm him down all the time that i wonder if he really understands. he's such a dear boy i want to see smiling all the time.

laugh it all away, it cant get to you.

2009-09-20T22:05:00.003+08:00

haha, that's us at juls' 21st birthday last night. i loved the place. it was really good to see zelly and juls again since the kbox last time. i missed them loads. also met abby and chatted for a while. miss her like crazy too. i keep wondering how i'd find free time to hang out with friends like them. i work from late afternoons to nights. and everyone else is 9-6. the only way i can think of is lunch hour, which is also not easy because everybody's spread out all over the island. darn. love my job, hate the hours.

2009-09-16T01:01:00.004+08:00

my job now looks more and more in place. i might stick to this for quite a while, or in fact, my entire life, since i can never be fired. well, technically, i can. but it'll be easy to pick up and continue from. there are some downfalls to teaching though. i dont get leaves easy, i stay up late, move around a lot and most of the time, i wonder what my degree is for. haha. but having the degree gives me a lot more income than the other people in the same field. on the other hand, i enjoy the work greatly too because the children are adorable and so innocent. they talk about the happiest things in life and i love to hear about their days. i get good pay and work little hours. most of the time, i sleep in till noon, and i'd probably never ever have to worry about income taxes.

2009-09-12T09:45:00.002+08:00

i had this wierd dream last night. i dont usually remember them. most of the time, i just wake up and no matter how hard i try, i dont even recall what it was about. but this one was different. im unsure what it's trying to tell me though. they say dreaming is a process where your mind speaks what you truly are thinking, to you. i feel uncertain. im not prepared to share what it is about though. but it definitely is something that tugs at the corner of my heart.

2009-09-08T00:25:00.000+08:00

이루어지지 않은 약속을 약속했다

or maybe, it was all just an illusion.

2009-08-30T14:38:00.003+08:00

i start work at a new place tomorrow. hope this works out better than the last one. i didnt like the shift work over there, so i had to switch. and at this new place, i'll get to do copywriting and editorial work, which is so much more related to my degree.

on a side note, im at my poorest time in my life. ive not been doing anything productive recently. i wanna start working and save up for like the many many things i want to buy and plan. a slr, a trip, new clothes. i want to hang out with friends and not have to worry about expenses. i want to go shopping and not have to avoid entering shops because i know i shouldnt buy stuff with my current bank balance. haha, this is funny when i think about it.

im hopeful of everything in my life now, though.

2009-08-12T16:29:00.002+08:00

ive been thinking a lot about faith recently. whether the moments i lived and the decisions i made were based on my faith, or just my instincts. and i suddenly realised, that ive lost a lot of joy in my life, cause ive misplaced my faith. i once had so much enthusiasm and excitement in me that it overflowed. and i know i want to have that again. i want to hear it again.

when the oceans rise and thunders roar, i will soar with you over the storm.

2009-08-07T21:47:00.003+08:00

new skin cause i was google imaging jonghyun and it came up.

now that school is over, i need to find a job la. where to find decent work? i went for a number of interviews already. i really need something to do, cause im staying home all day and its bad.

hope yenting and chialer will have a good trip! <3

2009-07-24T20:02:00.003+08:00

why i love shinee. cause they're a bunch of innocent boys with no hidden agendas in their conversations. jonghyun fighting!

life is no rainbows, huh? the clouds dont always have silver linings, i guess. why not just live and wink all the worries away? feeling a little emotional now. just hope everything falls into its places itself. ive been watching some great videos recently that takes my mind off everything else. videos that showed peoples' lives you'd want to live in. just a whole lot of real and genuine people with smiles. <3

ive just decided i'll start blogging more often. in abstract structures.

2009-05-30T14:47:00.002+08:00

my opinion in regard to the many controversial events happening around the world, including singapore. who are we to judge? what gives us the authority and power to decide what is right and what is wrong? whether it be issues on religion, or sexual orientation, how can we be so quick on deciding whether someone is an asset, or a liability to the country? its not up to anyone, or any organisation, for that matter, to decide on what standards make people normal and what makes them not.

i refer to events like prop8, noh8, pinkdot and issues like the religion conflicts.

the world should just be a better place so everyone can live in harmoniously.

2009-05-04T00:50:00.002+08:00

im so darn happy tonight because i finally can solve the rubiks cube! ive been playing with it for the past one year, but i never sat down to obediently learn all the formulas. tonight, timo brought me through all the steps once again and forced me to remember them. i still cant memorise the final longest two formulas, but nevertheless, i can solve it already. so you'll probably see me fiddling with it for the next couple of days just to practice and master it, like timo. haha.

school starts tomorrow. i havent been spending the holidays very well though. i was supposed to work during the second week but then fell sick. and after that, i spent the rest of the time reading a book which i havent finished, surfing fb, playing warcraft again, and rewatching hannah montana from season one. haha. i hope the new term is gonna be fun so time can pass by quickly.

anyway, timo's birthday is coming. haha. i wanna punk him. muahaha.

2009-04-14T00:10:00.002+08:00

i finally completed all the essays and web production and all those assignments. its time to party! hah. not really, working with chialer for fujitsu this holiday for a week. i just want to do something besides work. haha.

some personal opinions - i used to think mothers have great sense of responsibilities when it comes to raising their children. but im so wrong. how is it so difficult to just feed your child? even if he doesnt want to eat, some patience wouldnt kill. if all you give is milk to a 3 year old for a whole week, he's gonna fall so sick because there's not enough nutrients. i see how much weight he has lost for a week only and its obvious she cant raise a child. yet, she wants custody just for extra money from child maintenance. its just one out of the many things that i cant take seeing a boy so loved by so many, being ill-treated by his 'mother'.

2009-03-30T23:28:00.003+08:00

ahqi mentioned something about me not updating for a long time this afternoon, so i'm here to write some gibberish. haha.

ive got lots of comments in my mind about certain people and about how they disregard other people so easily. but its not suitable for me to comment here. it's nice to have jiaquan to talk to every night, though he's in camp.

schoolwork has been quite hectic, but so far, everything's on time. ive been hanging out with nethy and apple recently at starbucks and im starting to feel a little hooked on caffeine again. i hope i wont be addicted again. i spend quite some time kicking it.

and, i love my new macbook, macky. since pet society, ive been naming everything. haha.

2009-03-03T00:29:00.007+08:00

9 days to jiaquan's enlistment. 12 days to hongkong. 21 days to my unbelievable 22nd year alive. there're so many assignments in between to complete. sigh, im trying to organise my time this time every year to make sure i dont end up at 3am completing essays. admist that, i hope i still can find my life. a life outside fb, that is. haha. everyone's either on fb or on fb's pet society now. LOL! well, here's my list of assignments i need to complete by end of this trimester in order of due dates.

i was really bored last night and couldnt fall asleep. and i didnt want to boot up my computer because i know i'd feel tired again once i start surfing sites. so i tried, for the very first time, to go online with my psp. haha. it took a while, in the beginning, to load up the pages. but later on it got pretty efficient. i managed go into gv, my blog, jiaquan's blog, and facebook. and the many many things i did at fb - updated my status, reviewed my new photos, posted wall comment on jiaquan's page, viewed all of jiaquan, abby, peiqi and yenting's photos. haha. i tried to view yenting's video but it took too long to load. xp i think i hung out for almost two hours on the psp. haha. so much more fun than just playing games. (:

2009-01-24T23:51:00.002+08:00

went for an interview with moe today. was really tense cause everyone looked damn serious. and i probably was the only undergrad there. the other people all seemed to be in their middle ages. i keep pondering over the questions they asked, keep thinking if i answered them well enough, keep coming up with better replies i could have given. then i keep telling myself its over and there's no point thinking about it anymore. SOMEONE GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD! results will be out on 12th feb. hopefully i can get it this time!

2009-01-16T21:38:00.004+08:00

you people must have realised i havent entered a decent entry for quite some time. thats because ive been focusing all my energy on cooking. haha. that's why ive also been posting on my other journal, pammy's recipes journal! im not trying to be like a professional chef or something, haha. i just love to prepare and whip something up in the comfort of my own kitchen. especially local dishes because singaporean food is so yummy! (although my indonesian friend thinks otherwise, hah!) so im noting down my recipes cause i tend to be able to remember only one recipe at any one time. haha. i'll be challenging myself to more new dishes. and if they turn out good, i'll share my recipes there!

Christmas Night @ Orchard

2008-12-18T19:36:00.002+08:00

today was kinda cool. i was hanging around at hougang mall after tuition because i had a free hour while waiting for dad to pick me after work. the mall was having some christmas programme and there was an emcee playing games with the public. it was like 'dont forget the lyrics' with christmas carols. and i was watching a lady guess the words. she couldnt figure out the last word so shouted the answer to her, and she won like 200 dollars of cash vouchers. then she came off stage and handed me 50 dollars of vouchers to thank me. haha. then the emcee asked me up to play too. and i also won 200 dollars vouchers. so now i have 250 dollars of asiamall vouchers to do christmas shopping with! really cool. (:

2008-12-15T19:54:00.019+08:00

this time at genting, we didnt take many photos. just lots of shots of little lele on the rides. poor boy had a swelling on his right eye ):

the official tvb 2009 calendar is finally released. im going to get a copy for my notice board! but if you want a set for your desktop background like what im doing, here it is. ive resized them to fit a widescreen nicely. just click and save the enlarged image! xoxo.

2008-11-27T22:46:00.020+08:00

today was extremely exciting. ah qi saw an advert in a magazine about the opening of a new hk restaurant at mohd sultan rd. the owners invited raymond lam, kevin cheng and bobby auyeung for the ceremony. and being mrs lam, peiqi had to go. so yenting, chialer and i tagged along. im not a artiste-chasing person and so i thought it would be quite orderly like in the hk serials but boy am i so wrong. hahah. the fans were like crazy and we were literally pushed around in the crowd. all i could do was raise my hands and keep snapping. haha. they really look extremely good. even bobby was handsome, okay? haha. here are some of the better shots i got!

2008-11-27T22:15:00.017+08:00

yenting, peiqi and i went into jb on tuesday. and since yitong was there, she drove us around. ive never taken a tour of jb before except for going there specially for meals. we started the day at 9am and went to this really cool place for breakfast. the beef noodles were one-of-a-kind man! i always thought the one at junction8 foodcourt was good until tuesday morning. haha. then after that we went to the neway karaoke at city square. we should have gone earlier because we ended up only having 2 hours to go crazy. haha. the ktv there is really awesome. free food, free drinks, affordable price, big room, wallpaper of eason. haha. yenting and yitong are like crazy people when they sing jolin's songs. LOLS. and since we could only sing till 1pm, we did lots of shopping after that. around city square, then to holiday plaza and after that yitong brought us to a vintage cafe where i bought a pair of really cool shoes and a checkered red top. LOVE IT! i hope i can withstand and not wear them till cny. anyway, thanks to yitong! she really made the whole trip much more efficient. we'll go again sometime soon okay? haha. and also, happy birthday to peiqi and yitong!

and here's some crazy photos during ktv.

2008-11-25T07:29:00.001+08:00

2008-11-18T20:04:00.003+08:00

oliver got lester, chialer and i each a box of michel cluizel dark chocolate coated coffee beans for submitting the best work for maj production.

finally the term is coming to an end. im finishing up all the assignments. cant wait to escape to jb with ting, tong and qi! xp

2008-11-14T17:52:00.004+08:00

there're a couple of things i want to write about today. lala.

i just came back from school and its one more week till the end of this trimester! there're a couple of assignments that need to be completed before that though. so next week is what i'll call the official week of 'edurance' because its the time when all you have in mind is how to spend the vacation but all you should have in mind is what references you want to use in those essays and reports.

for the next trimester, uon approved an elective called information and communication in business. the people in my class are skeptical about it because it somehow reflects a bit like the marketing course we took some time ago. plus, this course is graded by examinations and we all hate those. fortunately for chialer and i, we took a business information systems module in polytechnic. i hope we can use that for an exemption this time. i already missed out the last two/three exemptions and blindly went to learn something i've already did so i really hope this will work out.

and then, on the 25th of this month, peiqi, yenting and i will be going to jb for a one-day trip just to celebrate the end of the trimester. hopefully more people including yitong, chialer and juliana will be able to join us. we're going to the ktv there and peiqi already has a list of songs she wants to sing. haha.

the genting trip with little lele is confirmed. since i cant go to kl and colmar trop with yenting and peiqi, they're coming up to genting to find me! muahaha. we'll go on the coaster non stop, and eat marrybrown together! hahah.

and after all the holidays, i'll be back to help plan jiaquan's 21st birthday celebration. there'll be lots of things that need to be taken care of. hope it turns out well!

and oh! one more thing. sengkang's swimming pool is darn cool!

2008-11-10T19:55:00.001+08:00

omg omg! tetris on ps3. this is so awesomeeeee. i love it so much.

sooooo cool right?

2008-11-07T19:52:00.001+08:00

allow me to do a little publicity. tadah! our filming and editing project. (:

2008-11-05T01:23:00.004+08:00

jiaquan accompanied timo and i to queenstown this afternoon to do some shopping. i seldom go shopping with my brother, hah. but its okay. he bought shoes for school and before we left the mall, i hopped into a shop and bought this!

i needed this for quite some time since timo's using my only gym bag for his school. hah. plus the short trips are coming up and i'd be able to use it then! im gonna call it big red. (:

2008-11-02T13:38:00.002+08:00

im finally starting to see eveything fall in their right places. for the rest of this trimester, im left with
1. audit report to vet
2. tv interview to finalise and burn
3. client prose portfolio
4. discourse major essay on ratatouille or i not stupid 2
5. magazine feature story
6. journalism portfolio compilation

whoo-hoo. this is getting cooler! haha. i cant wait to go malaysia with lele! heh.

2008-10-31T12:21:00.007+08:00

here's a really cute website i got from cowboyceleb. it deciphers your name and changes it into a face. haha. damn funny. plus, its not the auto-random type. if you type the exact same name again, the same face appears. here's mine!

its so interesting i tried some people's names that i knew. check it out! so cool. yenting's one is the cutest. little alien! hehe.

its three weeks to the end of another trimester. time flies, though clichéd, but its very true. i can remember the day i stepped into the admin office and spoke to a admissions staff. if i didnt recall wrongly, her name was cheyenne. it seems like yesterday, but yet i can still vividly see the images of this period in my mind. i hope time slows down a little. i feel like im aging really quickly. ):

2008-10-24T23:19:00.004+08:00

Tropic Thunder
My Rating - 4/5

i never would have stepped into the cinema to watch some war comedy flick if not for peiqi. we had a review assignment and everyone had to attend a film to critique it. she did tropic thunder and was exclaiming its awesome-ness in class today. so jiaquan and i went to ehub to watch it just a while ago. its ironic that im doing this now cause steve flashed lester and pq's official review in class this afternoon. but this is informal, and solely my opinion. but yea, it really is good. you'll find yourself laughing uncontrollably at the things they talk about and the language they use. robert downey is HOT. admist the african american skin tone and the blonde hair and seriously blue eyes that dont match, he still is the second hottest hollywood celeb next to patrick dempsey. ah qi likes matured men like this. haha. plot takes a little time to get used to, especially the war scenes at the beginning which made no sense till i heard 'CUT!' but i'd have to give a thumbs up to ben stiller for such a good production. love it. watch it to laugh like crazy.

i havent been in here for quite a long time, i know. i just finished posting my latest pr blog entry on uon blackboard which was supposed to be dued last week. anyway, ive been quite judgmental recently and i dont know why. i tend to run certain thoughts about certain people and how they should end up because of certain issues. this shouldnt be happening because everyone deserves equal rights no matter how they bring across themselves. and i know myself that even i am not perfect. but i just cant focus on that. i keep escalating the point of their mistakes and shortages in my mind that it engulfs my initial image of him/her. i need to break out of this!

timo is playing the piano in the living room now. i hear him like a talented little bee and i know where all the great genes went. hah. anyway, time to plan jiaquan's birthday celebration! whooo-hooo~

2008-10-15T19:33:00.003+08:00

nuffnang is organising a movie gala premiere for hsm3 so im here to talk about it.

hsm3 is going through senior year and i remember very clearly my senior year in high school. lots of stressful periods of times because schoolwork was always too far behind and examinations came too quickly. but it was a whole lot of fun after that. graduation was extremely memorable because people who attended were either crying or laughing. laughing because we finally finished a milestone of our lives. but crying cause we'll be leaving the place we spent everyday of four years together. and then everyone had a crush on someone next door who'd come up and ask how we did in our finals. that probably was the best thing that ever happened to any high-school graduate. now that its five years after that day, i really miss my life in school, i still do think about the graduation ceremony. its something a tertiary education like the one im in now can never offer. simple joy meant the most.

its only tuesday but this week is already killing me. its probably poor planning because we have so many assignments due on every day this week.

here's a list of what i have done/have to do.
1. Monday - client meeting with MILK
2. Tuesday - official filming with eriksson
3. Wednesday - discourse seminar presentation
4. Thursday - comms audit presentation
5. Friday - magazine pitch

i hope i get a good break after friday. the kid's are in their examination week so i'll need to go for tuition more often though. thank god ive been sleeping really well recently. back to working on tomorrow's seminar now. i havent even managed to watch this week's epi of hot shot. ):

2008-10-06T21:00:00.002+08:00

there're like a million and one things at the back of my mind screaming for attention. i want a break!

When Felipe Massa saw green last night in the pit-lane on Lap 15 during a safety car period, Ferrari literally saw red. - TNP

enzo ferrari must have been shocked alive last night after the oh-so-dramatic scene massa and his mechanics pulled off. kuakuakua! its such a blunder that our whole family was literally shouting at the uncle daniel's big tv screen. after that we thought raikkonen could do something to save the image of team ferrari but then, alas, he slammed into the barricades. i must have thought the seriousness of recklessly trying to turn without slowing down should be more than familiar to him. so, betting in, my father lost. he so confidently set his aims on massa. haha. well, too bad guy-who-pushed-the-green-light. you're a goner! (though massa claims to tnp that he walked up to him and gave him more motivation than criticism.) but on the overall, the most pitiful one would be sutil, kena sabotaged by massa. hah! so for f1, i think/hope/wish/want hamilton to win it. he's darn cool!

on a sidenote, lta will have heaps to work on with our roads now.

we went to the fj benjamin sale at grand hyatte after class and spent quite a lot of money there. i managed to buy a guess sweater and guess skirt which was humongously cheap. after that, we visited cottonon which also had a sale. it must be the f1 race that the sales are going on. well, i got a pair of golden shoes and jiaquan bought another polo tee. also, i love the dress juli bought. final picture above was dinner and ah ting looks so hungry. haha.

ah qi showed me this website today and it's like a international friendship association or something. basically, you prepare some items that are special and unique to singapore, and swap them with someone from another country that has items that reflect their country. i love the interactive cultural exchange concept that we do not have to physically go to the country itself but can also learn more about the place. so, pq and i decided to sign up and make new international friends.

well, here's a list of what i will swap.
1. yummy singapore cookies/biscuits
2. candy
3. men's and women's apparels/accessories
4. singapore postcards
5. books & magazines
6. tourist souvenirs
7. cds or movies
8. some other things

what i hope to receive.
1. food and tidbits from your country
2. cultural souvenirs
3. magazines/books
4. postcards
5. music or films
6. clothes and accessories
7. a photograph of you

someone come swap with me! im so excited.

i'm working on a field trip report thats due in seven days and im only 30% done. we're only a month into this new trimester and datelines are already starting to pile. however, on the whole, this trimester seems like there'll be lesser assignments then the previous few. i never knew how come we had that many presentations last term. i must have stood up at the front almost ten times. but though this time it's lesser, all of them take a pretty big bite of the final course grade. im quite excited about the radio and tele interview but at the back of my mind, im dreading the amount of editing that needs to be done in order to produce a piece of work im going to be satisfied in. i cant wait for holidays to arrive.

i managed to close the shipment for spree today and sent in my orders together with 10 other people. haha.

dinner was good. we went to safra tampines @ sakura. i thought the food was excellent, especially the yam paste. that was like, really good. we didnt have time to go bowling after that so mom, dad, lynda, kelvin and i went to the jackpot room. the machines are similar to those of malaysia and macau, only their credits are much more expensive and their features are really boring. but we had a spin.

talking about macau, next year, we'll go back to hongkong and macau in march again. going to hk and taiwan has become so regular i dont feel that its special anymore. it's like a norm. i want to go elsewhere.

okay, so dinner was not too bad. and here's what we had.

chicken rice

hainanese chicken
my skills with the knife are not up to standard yet though.

french beans omelette

the rest of the chicken stock which i used to make clear soup

and while i was uploading the pictures, i found some photos and videos of little lele i took some weeks ago. so cute.

2008-09-03T17:35:00.003+08:00

the girls and kenneth found a free vending machine for hotdrinks in school yesterday and i tried it today. i love the hot chocolate! its unexpected that they would provide free drinks for everyone in school./not from our school our campus is literally open for anyone to enter. haha. im going to drink hot chocolate everyday, cause its free. haha, sounds so cheapo. hope the school doesnt remove it cause we'll be depleting the suppies. hah(:

today, im going to challenge hainanese chicken rice for dinner. ive been doing a lot of cooking the past weeks and i must say, i feel like an expert. haha. not the chef kind though, but i can whip up almost anything i find in the supermart. so i thought a couple of days ago that i should try making some local stuff. i'll post pictures of the finalised dish in a while!

2008-08-30T22:32:00.006+08:00

ive just finished season three of criminal minds and am really shocked to see how it ended. i cant wait for the next season, omg. so i went to source out some info that made me even more eager to kick cbs producers' asses. why are they so slow at releasing epis?! well anyway, here are some spoilers.
NOTE: do not continue reading if you will slap me in the face.

Remember the SUV that went kablooey in the finale? It belonged to a main character, and he will emerge “impaired” as a result.

This news spoiler begs the question, who was in the fiery explosion? Will it be Agent Hotchner, Agent Morgan, Special Agent Rossi, or Dr. Reid?

Another case of truth being stranger than fiction. Criminal Minds Fanatic is reporting there will be a season 4 episode focusing on an investigation of a polygamist sect leader!

One more interesting note - did you know that Harvey Keitel had been in talks with CR executives at some point to replace Mandy Patinkin’s role on the show? Can you imagine, Mr. Reservoir Dogs as a member of the BAU? I think he would have been an interesting point.

i really cannot wait! hurry up. in the meantime, im also still waiting for new season of grey's anatomy. -.-"

2008-08-29T23:02:00.004+08:00

im re-living the fbi's bau this weekend. season 3 of criminal minds is so far, that awesome. lots of new sadistic crimes and new angles at how profilers single them out from the crowd. i still love spencer reid. a little upset that jason gideon's taken over by that mustached guy. i liked gideon's role in the show. but crimes are getting more and more exciting. i hope the seasons dont stop! haha.

Wall.E
My Rating - 2.5/5

i was quite excited about this movie when i first saw the trailer some time ago. i figured disney's animations were always fantastic. but that's as good as it could get. i didnt find this one exceptional. the plot's just okay. its extremely fictional in context. but who knows, maybe agazillion years later, if the world still exists, probably. the one thing i liked, is the reality of the effects. its looks as though it was filmed, not drawn. that, i must admit, disney is getting better at. the first 45 minutes of the show was quite draggy, maybe cause wall.e and eve couldnt communicate through mediums we can understand. and it was only images. it got a little boring before humans came into the picture. well, after that i could catch up and better understand the story. a little deep for kids to comprehend, i reckon. hope i see better disney animations in the future.

as i stepped into campus this afternoon, i saw new faces all over. hah, freshmen enter school like we did a year ago. i miss that feeling of being excited about starting anew again. first class of media interviewing is pretty good. this seems like an interesting course. time passes by really quickly. i hope i can learn not to waste my years away. seems like i dont really remember anything interesting i did in school previously. this is probably my final year im going to be in school. let's do some crazy stuff! (:

让我哭得哗哩哗啦的完结篇

especially when yushu was scolding xiangqing, i couldnt stop crying. also because i was sad the show was ending. aww, nice shows like this should keep going on. its good though, that there'll be a new series soon. 我的億萬麵包 (Love or Bread) (:

2008-08-25T18:09:00.005+08:00

my cult results are out. i was pretty afraid of not being able to pass it cause my term paper 2 wasnt exactly very well written. but yay, i scored 7 marks more than what i expected. thats quite a lot since the total is 30 marks. i feel so much better now. anyway, final year officially starts tomorrow. im quite excited about the new classes cause there's magazine journalism this trimester. im sure there'll be lots of interesting stuff. time to rack up my old books to sell to juniors! haha.

anyway, here's something interesting from david beckham!

惡作劇

ive been watching 惡作劇 the whole week of the holidays. besides dinner with the girls on tues night, i practically spent the rest of my time in front of crunchyroll watching videos. haha. this is life man! 帅帅的直樹. oh so handsome. haha. anyway, trip to malaysia in december with little lele is confirmed. i want to bring him on all the rides. muahaha. hopefully jiaquan can come along this time as well. the last time we went together, we didnt get to have a lot of fun. this time, im sure it'll be much much better. there're lots of issues i've been thinking about recently and i feel there's a lot to anticipate for in the future. im trying to learn to be more optimistic like before. recently, i realised ive become less and less so. im not sure why, but its probably because of the change in lifestyle. i used to be all sunrise and everything, but lately, its like its fading away. but never mind, i now know there's a lot to expect and look forward to. great family, wonderful boyfriend, beautiful buddies, my awesome life. xp

I LOVE JIAQUAN!

we went to ehub on friday evening and had a great time at the arcade on the usual candy machine. now ive got a whole plastic of candy lying on my bedroom floor. haha. and after that we had yummy kungfu milk tea. today, we visited t3 cause after he woke up, we couldnt think of anywhere else more suitable. but the place isnt as fantastic as i would have expected. maybe the transit area's gonna be better. anyway, we had dinner at earle swensens and i enjoyed the salad buffet very much. its so yummy i didnt need a main course. haha. going to eat that again sometime soon.

omg! i finally managed to find jamie's dinners by jamie oliver! i was waiting for jiaquan at the pasir ris library and i found the book. i LOVE jamie oliver's cuisine. yay!

love the book so much so far!

Hot Shot (GTV Series)

it's great! i've finished to first episode which is 90 minutes long. i think thats cause in taiwan they air two epis at once. but so far, its awesome. very funny, with its fair share of coolness and emo parts. i loved how they incorporate the three good-looking guys cause it makes the show look even better. lots of special effects though, not very realistic. haha. im gonna chase the epis as they air in taiwan! yay.
