"And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?"

cors pisses people off, seriously. I still dont get what modules are essential, elective or whatsoever and i think i bidded some modules using the wrong acc which i dont really bother. Cors somehow removes the responsibility in me-and its such a contradiction. It also increases the blood pressure of some people (i think carol mentioned "wa lau eh" at least 50 times) and maybe slightly disturbed the mental faulty of others through much confusion. Bad, bad, bad. The disruptions faced by singnet surf-ers added even more to the above problems.

on a side note, i think curse of the golden flower is merely an art film and when you watch it, you've really got to cast aside your initial thoughts about the Tang dynasty and believe that jay chou looks good in those heavy armour. Night at the musuem was another truly hilarious movie. I'm not really a ben stiller's fan but suprisingly, that movie was cool.

Shopped a little and accompanied Mr shopaholic the whole time in topman holding on to his i'll-consider-buying-it clothes while he spends most of the time in the fitting room deciding to get MORE clothes and tt was also the first time i manage to qualify to apply for a topshop member through a single receipt from HIS purchases-.-".guys these days..tsk tsk.

see Mr vainpoke?

To all of you out there,MERRY CHRISTMAS! Ha..yesterday's party was indeed a blast (wellss, at least to me) and the party would not have been possible without the people who came (thanks to my cousins and their boyfriends esp bun, pearl and sis who helped prepared the food, akbar and gang, bing ting, karine, dom, ben, fir, hariz, chun yu, giff, hisham, kh, nix, amelia, viv, ryan, hx, jo,jin, sayzers, terence and roy), my lovely ladies who helped host the whole show(mz and carol) and wonderful helpers (yeelin, ilyas and jinrui). Love you people. I actually feel a little proud of myself for being able to hold such a party. You should have seen the types and amount of food that we've prepared. I'm amazed by our capabilities. Lols. Hoped you guys enjoyed yourselves and were entertained! Wee... I'll need a break before having the next surge of energy to organise another party. Alrights..the people at the parr-tee... the lovely ladies ...

In life, people around you play roles such as the comedians or the magicians- they take you as their audience and their job is to make sure you laugh and smile regardless of whether or not you really feel true happiness, which is kinda sad really. Probably the most interesting chapter of the whole story is when there is a twist to the whole thing- you realize that the person/people who were thought as playing lead or supporting roles in your life are actually comedians/ magicians. You think they are your true friends; you think that they are important or thought that they think likewise but you're wrong. They don't care and they are only out there to humor you and keep you close to them. They can use you as part of their prop to bring laughter to other audiences in their life- they wouldn't stand on your side if things go awry or if there's a chance to jeopardize the relationship with other audiences; they rather sacrifice the relationship with you. Tragic indeed but this is life. True friends are indeed like rare diamonds- precious indeed.

Counterpain is all that I need now and yay, I've finished the 2 day kayaking course. New friends found, a few bruises here and there and most importantly, inspiration to continue 2 star. Wee…and I have this sudden urge to organize a Christmas party because carol delivered this beautiful Christmas tree to my place. Its 7 half feet tall. Woots and dom being dom, has the usual comments:

diaos...

I think I'm having rheumatism. My joints hurt. I need ligaments man, like preeettee badly. Okays, one star today was good but sad to say, I was the oldest amongst all the sec school and jc kids. Even the instructors were a year younger than me. Boo. Nevertheless, I'm still inspired to do the 3 star course.

Well wells, exams are finally over and the holidays that I've long anticipated for has finally arrived but the whole routine of planning for the next semester, bidding (-_-) and finally allocation of modules, are gonna start all over again. Yes, all over AGAIN. The drudgery of school life. yes yes. BUT, I know that the coming Christmas season cum sale plus time with family and friends are gonna add excitement to this holiday! Wee..I want tea..!

seeing you made my day even lovelier. (:

with lurve..


okays..i just need to blog again. Was browsing through the slideshow of pictures taken at villa bali (where i was cheated into dressing so shabbily) when i chanced upon these. This picture right above is so freaking funny! usual antics and the blue umbrella has a super hilarious incident attached to it. 3 birds, i should say. And i'm still laughing now.oh my. ...............................slamurylphitrol.

Our domestic helper left last night to reunite with her family in Jarkata and you should have seen how my mom teared when they hugged and bidded each other goodbye. Wells, her relationship with our family is rather complicated cause my mum is not her direct employer. My aunt is. My mum therefore pays my aunt a substantial amount of the maid's pay since the maid helps out more in our house than my aunt's. Now that she's gone and both my sis and I refused to allow my mum to get another maid (who will stay with us and the fact is that both of us cant stand maids), the household chores are left for us to be in charged. And so, I just finished cooking lunch for my fatty brother (which he found it inedible -_-!) and washing the kitchen *&^$^%&, while my sis is slacking in town looking for a post-O's job. Grrr......

Admist all fun, laughter and smiles last night, were hidden feelings of sadness and reluctance of sending another friend to another town. And , the be-u-tiful scrapbook was presented to dearest diva as stated above, with lots of lurvee. Ha! Apart from Ms Cheryl sufferring from post-chem paper effects, usual talk cock sessions with carol and sayers and watching groups of nana's close friends bid her farewell as the young night aged, everything was great. Yes nana, we will miss you! (:

Major School leaving examinations determine the type or 'brand' (to some people, apparently) of institution you will spend your next chapter of your life in. The whole examination and thus your grades on the piece of paper (certificate) will also play a part in shaping your character as people believe that those are the crucial moments when we all start to mature and develop asthetically, physically, mentally, etc, proper. Does it matter if you end up in a school that offers education for the gifted, special streams or many 'S'papers? Does it matter if you end up in a school with NT streams or has more NA than Express streams? Do u, then despise the neighborhood schools, that may be thought by you as so-called 'contaminated', 'contaminated' with cigarette smoke, gang fights, which therefore made u believe that the teachers, students and everybody else are bad? So, you're saying that if you end up in a good school, you will go to the top JCs and thus top Universities? That's overgeneralization and stigmatization on your part, oh-kay? This beautiful picture that you are imagining happens to probably less than 50 % of the cohort, I bet. There's is no such thing as 100% perfection, my dear friend. As cliche as it may sound, the future is in your hands. You will decide the path you walk, the salary you hold, the friends you acquaint with and the life you ultimately lead. If you succumb to peer pressure so easily, I have got nothing better to say. But, stop insulting people from the neighbourhood schools indirectly. What makes you think that if you are from a better school, you will definitely do better than people from the neighbourhood schools? Gosh. Please think before you speak! Oh wells, pardon me...-_-

Chanced upon this picture when i was browsing through my photo album. How gay! I cant wait to start jumping around after 4 December. Weeeeee....

GOT STRESS?

yesyesyes?try these out!

Have dessert- Good news, eating something sweet decreases production of stress hormones. But go for good stuff: foods made of artificial sweeteners didnt deliver the same response as fare made of real sugar. HA! get ready to put on some weight!

Play a slow song- no Eminem or Techno(ahem!)- people who listened to slow-paced tunes had lower heart rates and blood pressure. (Bring out no.24 in A minor...wee)

Pop out an Altoid- Meaning, smelling peppermint or cinnamon. They are said to decrease frustration. Chewing a piece of strong-flavoured gun or mint may help you keep your cool at other crazed times too.

Lastly, think CALM and feel calm.
p.s: making funny faces wont help as much as the above quick fixes.

Weee..good luck to all those out there for the finals.(:

The whole situation's an irony, dont you think?

I think doing grafitti can be pretty therapeutic admist all the mugging(kaes, i hate tt word) this afternoon. And, it has become kinda addictive expecially after spending the whole day in the canteen with 2 mad people yesterday to finish up the lovely scrapbook for dearest her...ha! (WHOLE DAY..maybe tt's why i shot flying daggers w/o knowing.lols)

STRESSSSSSssssssssssssss...Its stuck in my head. Ohs, whatever..I can only make do with whatever time I have left now. Yes, focus.. Oooomph...ooomph

Smile, because to frown and to worry only make things worse (:


Attitude: its the way of life

Neverthelss another spastic chill-out night..BrrrR..

JINXED! Tell me about it. I've just been through it and I myself was quite amazed by my own "capabilities". Maybe I really did rub off some unluckiness from you, Liew Kai Ting.

The suction vacuum did not work too well for me today. And, it was only my vacuum pipe that was not working among the one million pipes that were in use, therefore I was the only one who got superbly wet crystals after a superbly long time of suction filtration (by the way, I did confirm that the suction pipe was working). -_-! Not only that, I missed two EXPRESS 502 just now- waited for a whole hour for it! Gosh, and they claimed that it is an express bus. I was like the next person to board the first 502 when the uncle told me "man(3) le(4), den(3) xia(4) yi(4) liang(3)" -_-!. And so I waited for another 40 minutes when the 2nd bus came along but only drove away because the last person in the bus had his shirt stuck to the door. Finally, when I decided to succumb to taking the train, I boarded the wrong one which brought me further from my initial stop. And so, I only managed to get home only like after 3 hours-_-! ^%$#$ and I realised I forgot my keys upon reaching home. Lucky, dearest mama wasn't asleep yet. Diaos. What a day.

I almost teared when I witnessed how my friend manage to stay so optimisstic, juggle her emotions and hide her fragile self even after being impacted with such a great blow in life that I dont think I could have handled...

wells..and the freaking blocked nose just ruins my day. can hardly breathe

Finally manage to convince myself that the reason for being so lethargic nowadays is probably due to the lack of exercisesssss. I've officially stopped exercising and reason being, no time for it. And, it finally dawned upon me that I should stop telling myself that I have no time for it when Melvin shouted "EXCUSES!" that day and added how girls are weird creatures, that sort of generalisations.lols, oops..but they ARE generalisations. And now that I've been sneezing at least 2 million times for the past few hours, I realized how much my immunity level has fallen. Gosh. Worse of all, there is less than 20 days to exams. Yay -_-, start wishing me happy deepavali or smth.

Maybe Vivien's right. We should start our own CCA- kickboxing or something that allows reasonable perspiration. Dragon boat's too tough. I cant run for nuts and I would rather eat durians than run 5km twice a week and develop bulky biceps like the hulk or something. I think I really made the wrong choice to join whatever I am in now. Ha. It feels like going to school but having extended lessons- no excitement, that's what I meant.

On a happy note, carol just msged me to tell me tickets for the Phantom of the Opera are for sale. Wee(: time to save up $$$.



Are you aware tt the thought of you rejuvenates my soul?

Walk along with me....

Seriously, SPA was g-r-e-a-t,(and muffin, i'm being honest)especially after walking around town the whole morning. And so, we concluded that our spending capacity is really diminishing- spending money is gradually becoming a bigger problem (which could be a good sign, i think). Oh wells, if you people want to go for a reasonably priced spa, look for melf (or otherwise through me, i guess).

OH NO..the final exam's here and so doom's approaching. Ahh! -_-!


glad you had asked

I spent the last 30 minutes with "need for speed,the most wanted" and forza with my fatty brother when my father commented on my slow reflexes-_-! and mentioned of getting a steering wheel to replace those controllers when he realised he had problems with the S-cranked courses.woots!wee..i hope he really meant so..

And, i finally manage to convince my father to let me continue taking manual courses.yay! Plus tmr's shopping therapy cum spa at mel's with the girls. wee(:

I've been having weird dreams lately.Dreams about you and I mean weird in a bad sense. That sense of remoteness is kinda penetrating and it scares me somehow.. okays, its hard to put it in words..-_-!

My friend commented a few days back that I have utterly weird pleasures which set me pondering over the extent of weird-ness and why so.. Okays, I love gory stuff and I seek thrill from gore. That is not very bad, is it? Yar and I am definitely not gonna list the rest of them. Don't wanna be labeled as a sicko, psycho or something. And so, I was wondering how I can feel so immune about people getting chopped up into pieces while the others can squirm and screech at the sight of it? I'm very sure I'm not the only one who gets addicted to such weird stuff. I remember how mz and I used to direct our own gory movies where ever we were, whenever we're bored. So, there I was thinking when I realized that the 'Singapore Society' module does actually have effects on me. I realize I am starting to deconstruct social phenomenon or norms to analyse the reasons behind it- just like how I am thinking why youths like me gets addicted to gore. The worst part is I'm doing this kinda naturally. Gosh, carol..save me!

Kaes..that aside..I thought the chemistry paper that day was harder than Kuna's. Well, maybe I didn't study enough. Okays, its over..no point lamenting. Adding on, I cant believe how Jin can only not know how to do 2 questions and be the first to walk out of the LT. Bravo but he will always remain as a slut nonetheless. And I was wondering why we need geneticists to solve genetics disorder when there's really not a cure for it. It is GENETIC, right?

The ballad of Paul K




you got me addicted, mz :X

october 27.. o gosh..it feels worse than the day before A's..its like a mix of bees and butterflies in my stomach. I could feel rushes of adrenalin, which is not really a good sign.

Like moo moo claims, i need that faith. Somehow, the utter confidence that was always present at crucial periods diminished to almost nothing left, not even a trickle of it. I've got a bad premonition about it...

Have you ever thought of the time you should start to plan for your retirement? Dont gasp. Its not too early to think about it at all. Especially for people like me, who wants to travel around the world after retirement. Part of the meagre wage set aside for consientious saving in the future may not suffice. Besides, who doesnt want to retire early? Think about it. We aint young anymore. Half of our lives are gonna be spent studying. Therefore, almost half of our lives are already gone now. I always tell my friend, and i still do now and then, that time's running out. We should do whatever we feel like doing before white strands of hair appear like magic and nobody knows what will happen after that *poof* that went along with growth of white hair. Hence, its not a very bad idea to start thinking about how to grow your money NOW. Yar, maybe plant money trees that bear dollar notes as fruits instead of durians. I hate durians, esp the smell of it...planting dollar notes therefore sound 1 million times a better substitute...

Given the hoo-ha that our maybe-its-a-better-quality piece of paper attained after probably 3 years, out of our 15 years or more of education, may only qualify to perform a simple and mundane chore that almost anybody is capable of, people start panicking and looking for alternative branches of study or hopeful industrial sector to better prove the worth of our maybe-its-a-better-quality piece of paper. And, I believe that growing money could be a better way out- insurance coverage, unit trust with highly claimed interest rates, stocks and govt bonds. Yar...whatever..you know what I mean..individual, not-really-risky investments. And, now that the doughnut dream is further than the journey to Lala-land, maybe "planting that money tree" now isnt a bad idea after all. Besides, such plans always take 10 to 25 years. Hmmm....yea, think about it.

Sometimes when you're down, you just cant help thinking that there will be these people who will always be there for you or whom you have happy memories with...

Seriously, i cant stand the phrase "f**l mar*s". stop saying it! Ahh! And i seriously dont care about what you want for your C**. Get *.0 for all u want, yar? Just leave me out of this damn bloody competition, alright? you're gg overboard. Gosh! shaadup!

sigh...i'm feeling so much better now..-_-!

impromptu dinner with the dunearn besties ('where's matin?) at fish and co , after a 10-5 lab, was way retardedly, light-heartedly fun..weee! tried squeezing into an id-photo machine and took photos with our camera?! How retarded was that? whaha! and playing with christmas costumes or ornaments secretly in 'daiso, always $2 -_-!', hiding from the security and the security camera.How crazy was that? but u guys always rock (:

Ahhh! droolingly deliciously fabulous-a....krispykremes...
(the original glazed, newyork cheesecake, powered cake and chocolateicedcake doughnuts)

Can u even see the Singtel building opposite? gosh..the haze.......

Aha..funny eh? Its some anaesthesia used for fruit flys in our lab today.


I like jade's photos on ATNM and i love sara's hair..but i think joanie's the best..so prreetty! woots...

I think Slamurylphitrol's probably one of the best things that could actually happen in my life. You people are the ones who make dreams possible. You people are the ones who make dreams become reality and I know that our pact this evening will never be forgotten. We will create our own haven in no time, yea?
Well, its a pity that Cheryl needs to study for biostats..but no worries Cheryl, we'll have a girl's outing soon! Had to make a trip to the exhibition so we all ended up having lunch only early evening..Oops. Wells, had a great time camwhoring..here's the link!

slamurylphitrol

happy viewing! will post them up in our group blog soon. (:

It didnt occur to me today's black friday,friday the 13th, until chui ying told me after lessons in school ended. Are u paraskevidekatriaphobic (Aha, i bet you cant pronouce it)? Meaning having fear for such superstitiously scary days. No.Dont think i'm a genius. I didnt know of that word too, until I saw it in the net. haha. Okay, I'm not really affected by it but like how a typical human would behave, I tend to associate cases like realising that my right contact lens went missing from my case this morning or getting lost in somewhere between S2, S3 and S4 (I dont even wanna talk about it...makes me wanna stab myself..lol) with such dates. Gosh...

Next week's gonna be tough but I know you'll be there to give me strength and guide me through..

I'm having problems spelling really simple stuff recently. Like: wait, flaunt, all, is, it...etc. That's not it. I also have problems constructing simple sentences! I think its a sign of me gg mad.

Oh gosh..I can't wait for 27th October. I cant imagine having to go through everything again if i fail to get my license! And, yes you jin, I know your mom's birthday is on the 27th of October.-_-!

Who said that was easy and fun?!! If you like foreign babes/hunks and better still, if you know of any one who has a foreigner as their companion, pls come forth..

So...has anybody told you,"Eh! How come you're wearing this? you took the time-travel machine?" and henceforth not associate very closely with you? Or, "OMG, i love your clothes. Where do u get them?" and henceforth smiles at you all the time. Does someone's taste in dressing tell you who or how the person really is? I thought The Chinese has a saying for it about how clothes make up a person or whatsoever..And ironically, people also claim "not to judge a book by its cover" ...wells, how many of us here actually do create such new social labels through the so-called "stigmatization"?

Oh wells, tonight's probably the first night of this week devoid of brain-blended thoughts, free of mugging for ^%$#$ tests and early sleep..hoho...wells.A pity that it is short-lived, like all other beautiful things...

i need my tea sessions! (:

I still blame myself for landing at this point; doing what I am made to do , as i watched myself in the review mirror. Not fulfiling, not fulfiling... Would it be better then, if I had made it to the other side? I wouldnt know and I couldnt wish for it now, can I?

The weather is so %#$@* that the number of times I sneeze is said to be almost uncountable! And, I am inclined to think that my spectacles are dirty every time I stepped out of house. Those forest fires...tsk tsk..

So....98% of the time spent in organic chem lecture is figuring out what he is trying to teach or maybe translating some newly invented language into english. The remaining 2 % of the time is when there is silence in the theatre, neither he nor us speak. As for today, we spent most of the time doing this.... and this usually happens when you are the only one who takes notes on paper while the rest do theirs on their textbks. somebody gets high..
When K. gets abit mad...
its written: (1) sam rocks and cheryl dont.(obviously..woohoo) (2) 'cheryl' has a chiral centre and her mirror image and her are enantiomers. -_-!
wee..there are always exotic sweets when cheryl's around. Like above, florida's natural: strawberry nuggets. 66% fresh fruit ingredient or smth.. aha..I wonder why people would actually want to employ such a design. Maybe one day you'll see cheese flavoured sweets by KRAFT, packed like cheesesticks (by KRAFT)..whaha..cheese rocks la (:

Communication is such an important tool in life. It keeps your emotional being alive and somehow keeps the world revolving all year round. A sense of utter desolation follows if day-to-day communication were to be ceased between you and the people around you- the bond between you and the world disintegrates; you are left in total bleakness.

Communication could mean a simple 'hi' or 'bye' and these simple two-three letter greetings actually helps sustain relationships between people (to a certain extent). Don't communicate and you will start losing friends. Don't communicate and you will start to feel distant between you and your family members. Don't communicate and love will never blossom. Don't communicate and your tutor will assume you are the geek who knows everything but in actual fact, you know nothing. Don't communicate and the waitress will think that you want ice water when you want ice lemon tea. I used to belittle the word. What word? THE word: Communication. I never used to believe in greeting an acquaintance or even a friend. Aha. Wells. As you start to age, you start to realize more important stuff that used to seem trivial and dumb.

This week is so so hectic! Maybe one day when I am taking off my contacts, I wouldn't even know my eyeballs got sucked out in the process....hoho.. :p


i'm gonna put a stop to it and tt's it...tt's it

eeyerr..i'm so gonna become the next dean or president or whatsoever. I'm gonna replace the whole Sc***** canteen (make sure there's MOS burger), set up a new faculty that offers THAT course for anybody who has the potential and interest in, extend each sem, introduce longer sem breaks, reshuffle the exam dates, have lesser exams, take lesser modules, install aircons, escalators,more lifts or escalators with aircons and maybe paint the school building green. welcome to my lala land.......muahaha..woot..(:

I've been having a lot of trouble getting to sleep at the it-is-time-to-sleep hour recently and I really wonder why. Yes yes, I always fall asleep at a particular standard time if I have nothing else better to do. Could it be because of you or is it just me?

I think the low levels of acetylcholinsterase or perhaps the abnormally long distance between the synapses in the grey/white matter is causing me to become retarded-ly slow when it comes to responding to accidents. Maybe, it is normal that humans have this lag time when carrying out voluntary actions. I used to think that it is rather funny when seeing actors in dramas watch a pot of plant fall towards them from a high storey instead of running away to avoid it. Okay, I probably understand now. Yes yes, I actually watch an "incubated-long-enough" bottle of merlot slide down from my fridge right in front of me this morning. Its not my fault really. Wines are troublesome. They have to be laid down instead of placing it straight up and I probably pulled open the door a little too hard that caused the wine from the already loose tray to slide downwards. The thing is, I actually saw it sliding down but I didn't manage to stop it from sliding down. Funny la. Lucky my father is not exactly pissed. And, this is not the first time I actually break glasses in a row. My mom's actually thinking of changing everything to plastic ware (eeyer..so obiang). Well, blame it on my synapses.Heh :p

And, this is what happens when you put two slightly crazy people together..No..it's when you put a crazy and a normal being together..



appalled by your indifference.Its making me sick..

Had starbucks last night after blending my brain for juice with psychologist-to-be and these pictures are taken with carol's Mac book. How cool is that? Lappie with cams on them are so for the vain-pokes.boo..aha! Well well, mine's still the best. The largest, heaviest and it even has a keyboard that u can flaunt your typing skills (its like plastic la). The brand embossed on the cover, when annouced, makes people laugh non-stop..whaha..how cool but i still love it best! yay.. -_-!

Oh..and i finally manage to see pictures captured during SOW. Found them from shuying's blog and put them together on my web album while playing around with picasa's new feature..hee..

<http://picasaweb.google.com/samhosw/SOW>

Ever since school started, I havent really been able to engage in the activities I used to enjoy. Well, time and work could be the factor. I dunno? So, finally, I decided to stop inventing excuses and dived into the pool. Instead of my usual routine, I only aimed to finish half of it. As expected, it felt as though I carried out the whole routine! Oh man! I'm so gonna make sure I catch up this hols. Nevertheless, the whole experience felt as good and rejuvenating as ever! Time always seem to standstill. Gosh..and the word, HOLIDAY is stuck in my head. Ho-liday..hoo-lii-daaayy..hoho..yar.. and I actually told mz that I have a one-month holiday..yes yes, I wished..aha! so much stuff to complete!.oh yay, tmr's driving once again, after a self-scheduled two week break. Woots..slack eh?

I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
Whenever it aint easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me.........................the song's stuck in my head..thanks Cheryl

I wanna be there for you(:

i simply adore my little god-brother..(:

The bbq organised by Jo was good, I should say, excluding the ghostly "story-telling" part initiating by Jin though. Oh my, and Viv's train of thoughts are really..whoa..scary.
Besides that, laughing was the main activity I engaged in. So glad our OG could actually survive till now and still have so much fun.

Lunch was fabulous too. Nana came down to NUS and the 4 of us had lunch at munchie monkey's! Totally love the session. It's always so wonderful to realize how possible it is to communicate with people from different planets.(Oh,Cheryl's from Mars. She's like the PR there and I think carol was too tired today, so she probably stayed in Jupiter while we were having lunch). Wells, obviously nana and I were the only earthlings. Whaha!

Gosh.Its like 3.30 am now. I feel like playing bridge and mahjong suddenly. Today's like the first day of the long awaited break. A time for rest and probably play but a part of me never really looked forward to this break. Ironic but true.




would you not say goodbye if u were leaving?

Somebody once told me, "Nobody in this world is indispensable" and it struck me how fallacious the statement was. I always feel that the people around me actually have some power to influence(influence not manipulate) certain aspects of my life and this is so for anybody else. And, without these people, life would be bland, monotonous and well, meaningless.

The optimists constantly spur you on and give you advices to motivate you. The pessimists make you consider other alternative viewpoints that you could have missed out in your life and probably offers you a chance to act as an optimist. The competitors pressurize you 24/7 and for those who get affected darn easily, break out in cold sweat and start studying probably at the speed of light. For those who don't give a damn,well, don't give a damn. Well, it's good to have competition in whatever you do. It spurs you on but it gets onto your nerves when they constantly try so hard to check up on you/catch up with you. The crazy and bitchy people somehow spice up your life and it's true. These people make up a big portion of my life. The superficial ones make you feel like puking especially when they strike very superficial and insincere conversations with you. The backstabbers, erm...well...can just make you feel like pushing them off the building or slicing up their brains for anat classes. The 'take things for granted' ones constantly neglect the feelings of close ones around them. Obviously, there are more classes than whatever I've mentioned and without them, I really cannot imagine the type of life I'll lead. Yes, I probably do sound a little intolerant but it is definitely not easy to put up a front and be nice to whoever you cannot tolerate so my theory will always stand: Why tolerate then? Apathy is probably THE word. Maybe one day, I'll learn to act as a hypocrite, (like some people out there) put on a mask and smile to you even though I cannot condone your behavior. Wells, it seems that the first option still sound better eh? So, be a NICE person. Stop irritating people around you if you fall in any of the above nasty categories. (:

AHHHHHH!

I love sl-am-u-ryl-phi-t-rol...and the last, hopefully not the LAST, slamurylphitrol gathering was great. Had lunch at settler's and i realised how full of shit and retarded all of us still are. They're probably one of the few groups of people who will never fail to make me laugh til i cry. lol. Coffee with nana, carol and cheryl was, ahem, "happening"too. I'm still kinda shocked at the size of mudpie from coffee club though. To Chong-U: I know you'll definitely enjoy education and hostel life there but u better remember us and those retarded moments we all had! lol. Oh, u can also consider giving each of us an air-ticket as a momento so that we can fly there to visit u one day... muahaha!Happy packing! (:

I wanna SING my lungs out..



Did i ever tell you...

Another brain-frying day for the even week. Human brain on your plate, anyone? Time wheezes past like how an object experiences free fall when it drps from skyhigh, to the power of 1 trillion. Gosh..half the sem is almost over and I thought my Uni life just started. Oh weellss...

Wells, had my first CA today admist all the report-writing and preparations for tutorial...and i have to say that its not too bad..

My gosh. Today's bad. Everything's moving and progressing too slowly. My bus today to school took 6 million years to arrive. Following that, the chem lecture took 6524267347 hours to end. Thereafter, the first A shuttle bus that arrived after 14 years later, left joon, viv and I waiting for another, fetching maybelle and the rest to central forum. Then, on the way back to sci fac, the shuttle bus that we managed to board took another 23746 seconds to close the rear door at every single stop, not mentioning that it also travelled at probably the speed of 3 milli miles per hour or smth. And finally, on my way home, the ever-packed 95 took probably about quarter of my life to reach buona vista (it was non air-conditioned too!) and I was only informed that I need not work today only after I reached the office. Man....I must make teleport-ation reality.


Oei..stop it.

For those of you who love western food, you should try out "New York, new york" which is situated in City Link. I thought the food was better than NYDC. Besides, the seats are green and they complement my clothes! Aha..woots. And, a shout-out to all girls: You should watch "The devil wears Prada" if you havent done so. Love the extravagant clothes, accessories as well as the message the movie conveys. Oh and to carol: you better love our belated surprise and gift! It reminds you of us... Muahaa..(:



you make me wanna..

I love to have random thoughts. R-A-N-D-O-M. Yup, that's the word. I like it. Yea, you know..sometimes, when you got nothing to do or when you get too stressed out, your mind starts drifting on random stuff..(:

To wait is a seemingly painless effort. I mean, yar..it is not like you get beaten up while waiting. Of course, it differs according to the situation that you're in- you wait for a taxi, wait for "monster house" to start showing on 31 Aug, for your friend in the toilet to apply her blusher, for your parents around the cashier in the supermarket to help carry groceries, for your cutie/hot-pie to take the initiative in telling you "ooh...you're the one", for the clock in your monotonous office to stop working, for education to complete, etc. The list goes on and on and on. However painless it may seem, deep down, certain waits can be rather hurtful to your emotional senses. We call those, the long waits, those that you spent probably one-quart of your life waiting to get it done. Well, probably that "moment" has not arrived and so you think it is inappropriate to take initiatives/action. You then start to give yourself excuses, resulting in time slipping by without being aware. And for some, remorse sets in. You then start blaming yourself for not doing it at that point of time or grabbing that bloody opportunity. You become frustrated and becoming frustrated or irritated is hurtful to your emotional being. Also, it could be because of the lack of opportunities or resources and so, you are left with no choice but to wait. This is probably even more painful, especially when your wants are so near yet so far. On the optimistic note, to wait could be a blessing in disguise. Well, patience is a virtue, isn't it? Better opportunities may come by, better luck may come by and if you believe in miracles, miracles can happen. Thus, the painful wait becomes worthwhile. In retrospect, grabbing whatever opportunities that is presented to you is important because certain things/feelings can be lost in the process. You wait in vain, time is lost, the day you start to regret arrives, you think you got jinx-ed and finally when you start sorting out your thoughts, you will realize that, wells...all is too late.

Oh, and I am suddenly in love with ultra black hair with blue tones which only appear at times.Woots..Haha...true blue Asian.


am I not supposed to wait?

Nose running like a tap and dark circles around eyes..Oh my, the previous late nights are taking a toll on my body. Following Wednesdays (brain-frying days) are late Thursdays and a supposedly free Friday which, I however spent it rather meaningfully. Hee. Met up with Yee Lin and the girls and only then that we realized how lagged we were when it comes to happenings about the old dunearn alumni. It seems weird that all of us always cannot make it for whatever functions the alumni plans. Haha, I wonder why...Ahem
Oh, and the tai-tai life just suddenly seem so strange and distant. Having tea at TCC on a sunny, warm and quiet afternoon just feels weird.
The whole get-together ended with carol and I making our way to NUS to help Bing Ting with her banner for Union ball. It always feels good to do your best when helping your friends do stuff. And, I'm so proud of the result, considering that we had no rough plan and that we had to come up with the idea on the spot. Here goes..Tada..! Karine came up with the catch-phrase and "woo" is like woo-hoo.. yar..whatever that means...LOL. And, the right side is meant for her photo collage, in black and white- a mix of retro-ism and vintage-ism..So, say that the banner is nice...(:


And, I thought Saturday's gonna be a bash. Apparently, it was rather disappointing. Good thing I engaged muffin as my gigolo that night. Aha! I expected music to be R&B and that when I enter the place, it'll be filled with people. People, who are dancing, people who got high, people who are enjoying their cocktails and whatnots and immersing in the atmosphere. It turned out rather differently and I left almost soon after. (K. and Nixon even switched to another club) ahaa..Oh wells..

You give me strength..

oh man. I think i'm seriously jinxed by carol's superpowers. Maybe tarot cards helped. I see E.L.S.W. everywhere I go. seriously! (Except for lunch. And, I would not want to see him during lunch. I'd probably suffer indigestion or multiple vomitings :x) I see him in lectures, practicals ( yar man, he ran in with googles and labcoat on) tutorials and on the bus 198 today. I even see his name in the IVLE! This is worse than... yar, whatever bad stuff you can think off...EEee

And, I think Wednesdays are bad. They fry my brains to almost being fully cooked, not even leaving it medium raw. Okay...whatever..ahaha...


I've been to almost everywhere in search of you...

Ahaa..chanced upon 5d's blog and grabbed a few peekchures to piece them up. didnt know he took so many of them that night and allof them are pretty nice shots.Credits to u, 5d(:

Uni life is really different- so different from any educational stages u went through in the first half of your life. No more class reps or prefects, counselors or whatsoever. The ex-co of a society or a club no longer is ruled by seniors of the oldest batch- the year 4s. It would naturally take some time getting used to such changed environment but I already began to feel like a Uni student, especially when I travel around school alone (weird and I wonder why). Other than that, my brain, which I have not been utilizing for probably a year, still needs time to adapt and adjust. I think I am lagging rather badly and I am getting the NiCK syndrome-failing memory. I can forget about what I have said or have done 3 seconds earlier. That's how bad the situation is. It must be the immense workload on my poor brain cells that landed me in the terminal stage of that disease. Aye aye..

School has been kinda okay so far (I'm still trying to catch up, sadly) and I still cannot decide whether or not to take up a CCA. I thought lunch time will be terrible and alone. Lucky, there are carol and my OG mates. Oh, and I predicted that I can open a library of textbooks by the time I graduate from Uni. Maybe I can rent them out and collect charges to reimburse all that I've spent. Tsk tsk...my wallet's totally burnt; too many holes


I'm crazy about meeting Mr A
but who's Mr A?
I wonder who too...

madnesssss....

First day of school was kinda er boring.I had only 1 lecture today. The lecturer had a scottish accent and half the time, he wasn't speaking into the mic.( According to DX, he sounded like the Terminator.) The LT was warm and I could hardly hear and understand what the lecturer was explaining when I was sitting all the way at the back.

While fanning myself and trying to figure out what he was trying to say, I managed to get these pictures bluetoothed from You Jin. The mummies and Addam's during talentnight...Haha..

Second stay-over is over. Screaming when bathing with pails of cold water, chatting about "happenings" and "woo la las", escaping from mass dance with secret pal and catching a movie, laughing at your secret pal became part of another set of happy memories implanted in my brain...




No more playing, no more thinking that holidays are still a long way to go. Here I am, chilling in front of the comp with a cup of plain water (yar man, having a sore throat from all those screaming and bbqed food), stretching out my limbs enjoying my last few moments of freedom before moments of seriousness kicks in...



Yesterday's gathering was indeed a little surprise as friends whom you have not seen for aeons turned up. The night was great. Catching up was great. Meeting the people you simply adore was great (Yes, dunearn, viv, isaac, jill, hy, mj, chrysa). Food (I heard it was ordered from some OCS bbq thingy) was great. Gossiping under the warm lightings that was emitted from the little lampposts, with yes-I-can-only-gossip-with-you people was great. Regardless of missing a good night’s sleep at camp the night before and being too short and having to almost suffocate in crowds of people at rag that scorching morning, I felt rather energetic that night. And, the night was definitely short-lived. Everyone parted after cracking a few jokes, gorging chicken wings and sausages, sipping from plastic cups of rose syrup drink and popping down a few marshmallows.(Oh, thanks Dom, for the nougat bar!) Only then, it hit me that we are almost all taking a different path, be it to home or in life which then made me wonder what, to one is the right path? Future holds uncertainties, so many that make you ponder what happens next and forces you to perform, at best, whatever step that you are taking.




you make me feel alive, once again.
Dont leave...

I-Flag


After flag day yesterday at Orchard road, I realised that the young are probably more generous than the adults of the working class. It shocks me to find out that it is the men, those who are decently attired, are the ones more reluctant to donate. Men will either claim that they have no money or stuff their palm right in front of your face to reject your offer. Those who donate probably will say, "Thanks, I need this piece of sticker to escape." Or , "Are you guys all over Singapore? Oh...I need the sticker then." Young boys and girls, probably influenced by our Civics & Moral education system (er...) with good parental guidance, were less hesitant. They usually reply "Sure." and then empty their wallets of coins into our tins. Well, well, well.. it's not as though I will donate willingly whenever I see those flag-gers around. I will try all means to avoid them by taking out my handphones or walking far away, actions which I witnessed many times while flagging yesterday. Tsk tsk tsk. I told myself I'll donate after carol and I spent so much energy to flag for NKF long ago but I never did. Whaha. Okay, from now on, I'll seriously donate to all flag-gers out there whenever they approach me. For those of you who previously do not, should do so too. You know how tiring flagging can be.

Besides flagging yesterday, we slacked, talked and laughed. We had long lunches and break at Gelare's (of course it had to be Gelare's on Tuesdays).

The term is really gonna start this coming Monday and I'm still worrying about my modules. The next minimum bid point is increasing like exponentially la. Crazy people. And, it saddens me when seniors tell me that you don't make much good friends in university except in CCAs, clubs or orientation because all of us have different lecture and tutorial slots so, everyone is kinda like leading their own lives.

SOW was unexpectedly, sort of an exhilarating experience. Yes. Usually, situations will turn out well whenever you have low or super low expectations of it and vice versa. I felt super hesitant to go for it especially after I found out that Este couldn't make it that morning which truly shows that I am incapable of exiting my comfort zone and am reliant and dependent. I tried to saunter my way there and was eventually 2 hours late and missed the first part of the ice-breakers session. Regardless of all of that which happened earlier, I enjoyed the whole camp and stayed throughout instead of only the first night that I had planned earlier with Este or after finding out that I had to go through Frightnight on the second day. Lucky the typical Singaporean personality surfaced when I was packing my bag.

Despite complexions being a shade darker, new friendships were forged and OGs in SOW were unified. Despite all the complains of walking in fields barefooted, playing games under the hot sun, having only 3 hours of sleep for that night and lastly, having to bathe in PAILS, we had fun! Girl Power was witnessed when the few frail-looking few of us actually won tug-of-war. Identical love-hates were spotted when both Amelia and I ran and screamed at the sight of cockroaches, Maybelle and I covered out faces when the Jap horror movie was shown and Jo and I have experiences of wearing the left contact lens on the right. Haha. I LOVE (the non-academic part of) SCI FAC! OLE! There are no signs, well, at least not yet of any signs, of elitism in science fac and levels of unity and enthusiasm seems higher than in AC. (Yes Cheryl, I still hate the idea of having to bid for modules and planning our own degree. LOL.) This is probably my first time being enthusiastic of OG activities lah. And, I actually survived Frightnight when the whole OG was made to go through it in pairs. I think in future, I can step into some haunted house alone (Aha, I'm sure la). Anyway, kudos to You Jin who taught me how to conquer Frightnight with psychology and Maybelle and Louiza who skipped the Jap horror movie to go to some boring SPS briefing with me. Many thanks to Carol who had lunch with me after the camp. Yay!!

Half the OG


Ee...Round 2A of bidding just spoils everything la. I hope I can get my modules man.

BURRrp...hi-tea with my girls was su-burp-ly filling and definitely fantastic today. Decorations and number of stations with food is not as elaborate as The Line but it was good enough to bask in the ambience of sweet delights and good company. More pics are with lau mok.I realised that I always look fat in the pictures I take because those two girls are always standing at the back (and mz is always at the back and in the middle)! Gosh...



School's gonna start very pretty soon (NOoooo...) which means I'd have to revert back to those monotonous days.Not much time left for retail therapy and chill-outs (NOoooo...). I'm gonna be nerd-ified once again. Oh wells, time really flies, always when you don't want it to. I hope slamuryl-phitrol holds another gathering before everyone really become as busy as the bees.

Yes yes..and I'm gonna be away for SOW tmr. I hope my OG is fun. I hope I wouldnt get to play that squirrel, fire, tree game and then get sabotaged like cashew nuts...I hope they dont scare me to death during their night games...Ahhh...and este may not make it tmr...



I see the pessimisstic side of me now.
