cardiologist needed

2011-02-15T17:34:00.001+08:00

To know that the top priority is something else, gives me a losing feeling.

Yet I can understand why it is prioritized, that makes me feel even worse. because I have no right to be angry or can do anything abt it.

My heart is tearing apart, w each thought like a machete hacking at my heart.

It was so bad that I contemplate to end my life. Yet I can't do so, for I m bound by the oath to live.

curse my mouth to sprout out promises that now bound me to life.

I just want to die n escape from the crushing pain that's suffocating me.

Just let me die please.

Idiotic Me

2010-12-29T21:27:00.002+08:00

What do you call a person who dive into a situation when he/she knew that it would end up being hurt?

--> An idiot.

That's me.

I sometimes do wonder why I am so stupid. I knew about it. I knew I shouldn't get too involved.
But somehow, I got carried away.
The result? Being emo now and then.

Too stupid.

Totally brainless.

Maybe I shld go heartless next.

I wonder if they know.

How I wish I had never met with the situation. How I never met all of you.

Because now, tears are already dropping.

Take note that I did not use Eye Mo for this.

venting my frustration

2010-12-16T21:39:00.001+08:00

1) An idiot colleague

She wayang a lot to the manager that she has a lot of work when she is just simply too slow. Got her way in the end, as I was trfed to her dept to help her. She threw work that she didn't want to at me, and felt threatened when I finished it fast. Resort to cheap tactical strategies such as giving me the most difficult report to type in an effort to make me feel that the job is taxing, throwing me a job that require the combined efforts of TWO people. And in order to make sure that I dun hate her (when I alr do), tried to suck up to me by offering food or tidbits, strike up a convo (when I didn't want to talk to her alr).

That's nice, you bitch.

2) An idiot manager.

Wonder how she came to that post when she couldn't understand that different task take different amount of time and productivity is not just a mere set of statistics. Favouritism of the idiot colleague as mentioned above really allows doubtful thoughts of her capability. Wanting to help ends up showcasting her ignorance in the job scope of those under her management. To allow the benefit of doubt, she probably believe the words of the wrong person.

To face them everyday? I probably need to be a cat and have nine lives, cuz I just wasted 8 lifetimes trying to ignore and cope through the politics.

I am in dire need of enlightenment to survive the last lifetime I still have.

It doesn't pay to be a good person.

2010-10-21T15:00:00.000+08:00

sometimes I just wanna help pple.

And it is really disheartening that pple dun appreciate it at all.

I give myself the stress to make sure I follow through with what i said I would do.

What's the point?

It doesn't pay to be a good person. It just doesn't when u are being taken for granted.

I hate the world.

All is an illusion

2010-07-21T23:20:00.003+08:00

Stop presenting illusionary fragments when it is never meant to be.

It makes it harder to accept reality.

And it only breaks my mind down.

The wishful thinking has to stop.

Ridiculous morning

2010-06-29T19:44:00.002+08:00

I woke up just in time for tuition.

After all, the tuition is in Tampines, so I wore shorts.

And my mum go bonkers seeing me wearing the shorts out for tuition.

She said that I must dress prettier when I go out. At least wear jeans.

WTF?

It's so damn hot outside and you want me to wear jeans for a 1 1/2 hour tuition?

Be pretty for who to see? It's not like I know any abasan around in Pasir Ris or Tampines, and are so familiar with them that they can see or talk to me.

And she goes on and on asking me to change those shorts.

She even dig out all my past shorts.

She was the one who told me those shorts are TOO short and some made me look fat. Now she says, those are OK.

Being on time becomes being late for 20 mins for that tuition all because of a pair of shorts she deem unfit for wearing out.

And after I chided her, she even say she feels that 好心没好报.

This is the most ridiculous morning I had in year 2010 at this damn house.

New Camera

2010-06-13T21:58:00.002+08:00

Money is really powerful. It can change my mum's mindset.

From a person who always saves money, to one who knows how to spend money.

Seriously, my mum shocked me today.

She wanted to go to the PC show to buy a new camera.

You know, everytime I went to the IT fair, she always abstain from buying anything. Except for mouse. (-__-)

Now, she wants a camera?

I must say, it is all thanks to this tai-tai friend of hers.

Always chio-ing her out for food fairs and expo fairs.

My mum even bought a rock-style belt for herself. And she thinks its cool.

( -________-)"

She finally give it to my cousin after me "blasting" at her about it. My goodness.

Ah, whatever. The one with the money has the last word.

Just that she is nagging at me now to teach her to use the newly-bought Sony digicam. Hmph.

Stupid phone

2010-06-05T13:09:00.002+08:00

Stupid phone is breaking down.

From last year, it has been acting weird. Didn't send some of my messages, and now? Didn't receive some of my messages.

But I had not much money to change phone.

That's the BAD thing. Argh.

Past activities

2010-06-05T12:50:00.002+08:00

Makeover at The Studio:

Ok, was quite fun. As yuan said, the makeup was drmamtic. But I like the makeup, 'cause its a bit rock. HAHA.

The photos were not bad. I can see that the photographer really use all kinds of stuff to produce different kinds of photos. Although we didn't buy them, they were kind of an eye-opener.

We went to Fermantle @ Clark Quay for dinner. They don't serve ice-water! My goodness. I had this cocktail called French Connection.

I wouldn't recommend this lor. Not very nice to drink.
Joo got her mocktail which is a little bit too sweet for my tastebuds. But after tasting mine, she is contented with her.

Marina Bay Sands:

Went to marina bay sands for the first time as a Singaporen. The circle line is very convenient and we just need to walk to reach The Heliex. The bridge always reminds me of DNA. And we see the beautiful view of CBD with the half-built muesuem killing the scene.

Went to ION for dinner. So many Japanese small stalls which I hardly see in Japan itself. Only one of them Von said she had seen before. And the photo of the long queues they put up at their store? In japan, this doesn't happen. HAHA.

We went to Ginza Bairin. (銀座梅林）
Big dinner.

And now? I am sick again. Maybe from the long nights playing games and watching dramas. Haix.

Aftermath

2010-06-02T13:40:00.002+08:00

Even in the last semester, I am unable to go free from the shackles that bound me.

Dear PM, how are we supposed to pursue dreams when tertiary education is this rigid?

And I am not going to make do with just proposing foundations to support us.

$$ is very important

2010-04-26T16:08:00.002+08:00

Amidst the whole hoo-hah of exams and tentative grad trips, my mindset has shifted to $$.

It's hard not to do so, when my family is in a tense and cloudy mood over financial stuff. My father has his emotions running rampant whenever $$ is involved. Mum nagged at me when her $$ is involved. My brother cursed and swear all the words when he doesn't have any $$.

And I am dragged down by this, so my eyes turned ($_$).

And my mum still have the cheek to ask me not to be too tied down by $$. Like how am I going to do it when everyone around me in the house is drowning by being tied down with these $$?

She keep saying, "Don't see $$ as omnipotent, but don't see them as unimportant." Not very convincing, you know.

And furthermore, when I am surrounded by kids who are freaking rich and boast about getting iPhones at the age of 10 while saying my poor Nokia N70 as an antique, you can't blame me for seeing $$ as omnipotent now.

Probably I will be mentioning $$ in each and every sentence from now on, but pls bear with me.

Disappointment?

2010-04-23T14:43:00.003+08:00

All it takes is one sentence.

Misunderstanding.

If that's all it takes to be disappointed in me, you should remain disappointed forever.

For all you do is just indulge in that one sentence, and not the whole picture.

All the more I don't wish to tell you anything now.

We are both stubborn. We don't give way.

If you want to remain this way, I don't care anymore.

I will return everything to you, and stay out of your sight.

If that is what you intend, then, that will be my intention.

I just can't understand your english idiots

2010-04-11T19:48:00.001+08:00

So pissed.

During the poster presentation, the examiner say I cannot understand his english because I wasn't sure that he was asking what I thought he was asking.

Today, some weird Indian guy came to my house door looking pissed at me, and saying a bunch of broken english that I couldn't understand, and he say I can't understand english.

WTF. It's all of YOUR fault. And you are saying I can't understand?

Seriously, people just like to look down on me. Assholes.

Hate it

2010-03-29T22:16:00.002+08:00

I really hate the new house.

So out of the way.

Need to walk to MRT, 20 mins and more.

Stupid MRT is so damn slow in frequency.

Buses are so freaking little, can't go anywhere.

Stupid Pasir Ris, so freaking ulu.

Can't even find any bus to change or reach NUS. Damn pissed.

Mum was finding buses to go to NUS. And she FINALLY understand how freaking ulu is Pasir Ris. And she finally understand how TERRIBLE the MRT journey is.

She gave up looking and went outside to watch the news.

She even ask me to find job at Loyang agrotechnopark. I don't grow plants you know.

But all is already too late.

And she ask me cab to school, but didn't provide cab fare. So what's the point?

I really hate the house. Nothing good comes out of it.

Shitty test

2010-03-09T23:43:00.001+08:00

Wah lau.

The test is so shitty.

Hard work totally does not equal to doing well for test man.

Haix.

Visual Kei

2010-03-08T23:25:00.006+08:00

I am into Visual Kei Bands recently.

Their clothes and makeup were cool. Of course their songs were cool too. You might think I am weird though. Haha.

So far, my favourite band has been the Gazette.

the Gazette! I like everyone in the band. Hoho.

Well, mainly 'cause I feel that their songs were good and varied. I saw them discussing a new single on a variety show, and they said their new singles usually aim to crush the image of the previous single. Which, in a way, I thought was not too bad an idea. If they keep using the same style, it tends to get a bit boring. I thought that was the case with Alice nine, another visual kei band.

Alice nine.! Shou (Vocalist) is the one in the middle.

Don't get me wrong, 'cause Alice nine is not too bad. I mean, Shou's vocal is unique, and there are some cool songs like Mirror ball, and Jewel, but after listening more and more to their songs, its just the same type, then I felt so sian.

Another band which I came to like was Antic Cafe. Hey, I admit that Miku (vocal) is cute.

Antic Cafe!

Miku!

I thought he was a "she" at first. Until I hear the voice.

Well, to be honest, their later songs were better. Their earlier songs weren't appealing to me. Or rather, they were kinda off. The difference is quite big. But they started to get better, around the Bonds ~ Kizuna~ single. I liked their songs right after their guitarist Bou left though. I don't know why. As of now, I like them more than Alice nine.

There's also the band 'D', though I haven't have time to hear their songs. But seems like they were quite popular. I don't know. I will listen to their singles when I have time.

D!!

Another visual kei band that I am wanting to hear is Versailles. Ok, their costumes were REALLY elaborate. But it's damn unique to them and in a way, quite cool. Again, I didn't manage to find time to listen to them. It's sad that one of their members passed away.

Versailles! Cool outfits~

By the way, they are all guys. HAHA. Are you shocked that there are indeed guys that look cuter/prettier/cooler than girls? Oh well.

Ok, that's for now for my fangirling. I only touched a small area of the visual kei world anyway, since there are many other bands out there. Whether they are over-rated or not, I think it depends on each person's preference. For me now, the gazette is still owning the biggest space on my ipod. Haha :)

Munting's Visual Kei chart:
1) the Gazette
2) An Cafe
3) Alice nine.

-) D*
-) Versailles*

* Both in need of review by my ears. When I have the time. Hah :)

By the way, these are only my opinions. No offense.

PS. All pictures are from Minitokyo.

Cry me out

2010-03-04T23:00:00.002+08:00

本当にむかつく。

全部の事かんがいすぎだから。

人間関係とか、卒業旅行とか、勉強と試験や。

も、疲れていたんだ。

「も、あきらめて。どんなかんがいでも、希望はない」

そゆ事だ。

Hope, like a candle, was gently blown away.

Leaving a murderous intent that even I shiver in fear of.

There was no more room for me to step in. I didn't even get to decorate my own room. Everything was in the mercy of those who had $$. My parents.

They keep arguing where to put my bed. I already told them, that I know how to put my stuff, and I know what to buy. They just wouldn't listen.

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to put your bed like this" was all they said.

My mum urge me to go for grad trip. Although she reminded me that I didn't have enough money. So I told her that at most, I wouldn't go. At least the money can be used to buy the furniture that I want, not what SHE wants. She then start saying that she still have money to buy furniture for me, though before that she kept complaining that the renovation fees exceeded her budget. How contradictory, and by no means comforting.

I was at crossroads, choosing between the Japan trip and the Korea trip. Just so coincidental, they fall on exactly the same dates, going and coming back. How fate has toyed with my feelings, as I was thinking that I can go for Japan trip and then to Korea or vice versa if the dates were different. Now, I am only mad at myself for not being able to come to a decision.

I can't forgive myself, for being poisoned by the actions that others did, no matter unintentional or intentional. I just hope that the poison would not seep too deep into the chambers.

In the end, there is still the realization that I only have plenty of bad points to be reminded of.

Maybe that's why,

I just don't have 人缘.

Just Plain dumb

2010-03-01T21:01:00.002+08:00

I am frustrated.

I am tired from being frustrated.

I am not competent enough to rmb and think about my own experiment.

Grad trip. I should just give up everything.

CA. Assignment.

House woes.

Outside of the circle. Inside the mist. Confused. Lost.

To solve the knots, I need to think.

Yet, I am tired from thinking all of it.

To be able to do my work, I need to eat.

Yet, I am too tired to even eat.

From all the stress, I want to cry.

But I don't want to, cuz it's too pathetic.

Maybe cuz its stress, so everything looks amplified.

I am too weak to support that.

I want to run away, but I couldn't do it.

I wait for rescue, but I know nobody would do it.

Except me myself and I.

For now, just let me sleep.

Even though I still have to wake up to the ever present harsh reality the next day.

And the next day, and the next day...

Giving up

2010-02-25T22:14:00.002+08:00

Why am I getting my hopes high on things that pple should do?

I should stop hoping.

Long time

2010-02-25T20:32:00.002+08:00

Busy.

Busy and busy.

Can't even have the time to wish all of you all Happy CNY.

Haix.

Finished a mid-term. Freakin' screwed. Felt so sad. :(

Being stressed by mentor to write up the thesis. But no time.

Have to face an assignment which I totally don't know how to do. Maybe I should just send an empty piece of paper.

And yet another CA for clinical trials.

My experiments ain't finishing. And mich's already thinking of ending lab to write thesis!!!

Parents gave me new room in new house, facing corridor. Got pissed with the noisy location and decided to put some electrical current or rat poison to deter burglars or kaypo pple. Maybe also will be suay enough to kena red paint by ah long. Who knows.

Too pok for any graduation trip. Don't know if we have any grad trip in the 1st place.

Too much changes in the lab. So frustrating, esp. to boss.

Luckily, nobody reads my blog now due to inactivity. At least they won't be buried down with my grumblings that are constantly piling to a height even higher than Mount Everest.

Repulsion

2010-01-22T00:23:00.002+08:00

What a nice day.

Lab meeting was ok, though it's a little long.

Got to play badminton again today Ate subway and went to von's place to pickup clothes.

My mum just have to ruin it all.

She asked me when are my exams. Cuz she wanna set a date to move house.

I ALREADY TOLD HER BEFORE. She don't have to dig up this piece of shit again in front of me.

Then she say they will be moving on 1st April. *GLARES*

"I got fyp poster presentation on that day. And I am very busy. You all move."

"Yah, I know. Luckily your brother is having holiday. He can move"

DUH. I know it ALREADY. She already told me before. THEN WHY THE HELL U TELL ME AGAIN???!!!! I am so pissed.

"Moving on the 1st? Then I go school very far"

"Oh, there's no difference. Only 15 more minutes"

MY FOOT AH! Walking no need time ah? You think I superwoman, 1 sec can prepare everything ready ah?

Am so pissed and angry and mad that I decided not to talk to her anymore. Not even look at her.

She gave up and went back to her room.

I really feel like banging my head on the wall and just die.

Ahhh... the world is changing.

2010-01-19T21:21:00.002+08:00

The world is changing.

Singapore is changing.

Singapore youngsters are so different from us, the "older" generations.

Today, while leaving school at the bus-stop near KR hall, I saw a lady and her child.

(Curtains...)

Lady: We are taking bus.

Child: *starts crying* I don't wanna take the bus!

Lady: Why don't you want to take the bus?

Child: (repeats) I don't wanna take the bus!

Lady: (coaxes child)

(Bus came)

Lady: Let's get on the bus.

Child: *cries loudly* I don't wanna take the bus!

Child: I wanna miss the bus!

(Me: HUH???!!! This is the first time I hear a child wanting to miss bus)

Lady: (starts asking why the child don't wanna take bus)

Child: I don't wanna take bus!

(cycle repeats for more than 5 times, 3 buses bypassing them along these cycles)

Lady: So you wanna take taxi?

Child: *quiets down and pause* I wanna take taxi!

(Me: HUHHHHHHH???!!!! What the hell? Can't help but stare at the child.)

Lady: No. We are not going to take the taxi. We are taking the bus.

Child: *start tantrums again* I don't wanna take bus! I wanna take taxi!

(Child repeats again and again)

(Finally...)

Lady: (Fed up) We are getting on the next bus.

Child: *repeats sentences above* (I am too tired to type the same thing again)

Lady: We are NOT going to take the taxi. Don't think that if you cry, you will get what you want.

Child: *wails louder*

(Bus came)

Lady: *drags child by the arms*

Child: *Full blown loud wailing*

(Goes up the bus, child flailing and crying his eyeballs out)

Me: * My only thoughts: WHAT A SPOILT BRAT*

Seriously, if my child is like that, I am going to teach him a lesson and leave him at the bus stop.

Year 2010

2010-01-13T20:09:00.004+08:00

Happy new year!

Though it's past 13 days.

Year 2010 bod ill will to thy body.
(aka I got sick on the 2nd day of year 2010. Not a good start...)

Alot of activities before the school reopened. Bowling etc. Pics will be on later, since all are on facebook.

And I am once again broke, due to the long absence of tuition and the repeated sprees of shopping.

Several malls opened. And now my favourite is 313 @ Somerset.

313 @ Somerset.

Points up:
1) Direct link to the mrt, just like ION.

2) The mall boosts several labels, the biggest being the Forever 21, which stretch to 4 stories of female clothing. And they are becoming more affordable, with prices at $20++.

1st floor of F21: Accessories which are super cheap and nice, prices mainly below $15 (except for long necklaces and some other); shoes and some clothes.

2nd - 4th floor: All women clothing, different types.

There is also a big ZARA shop and Cotton on, not to mention Uniqlo, the biggest store around.

3) Good food! Eg. Blue mountain Cafe! (Pizza is super filling and the price is cheaper than Pizza hut) and Marche.

Took some modules in school. Am taking Einstein weirdness by myself and there is group work for term paper. Argh. Since it's a lvl 1 mod, there are alot of pple taking with their friends. So I wonder if I can get a partner. Bad bad bad.

Tumour was a little boring, and i really fell asleep! Guillaume chided me for doing that on the first day of school. Haha.

Oh, Guillaume is my lab's post doc. And he is my fellow bitchy auntie! HAHA. Dun ask me why this is so. It's a long story.

So sad. Sch reopened. Thesis need to be written. More expts need to be done. I am soooo going to crumble under the pressure.

The worst

2009-12-22T15:09:00.003+08:00

I had never been good at exams.

So what if I rmb everything. I can't score.

Freaking piece of sh*t.

Hard work really doesn't give u results. Same in lab and exam.

All of you are just going to look down on me. And I can do is to cry over it.

I hate the world.

Bad mood

2009-12-14T21:24:00.003+08:00

Unbelievably, I am in a super bad mood.

So mad at my mum for washing my clothes wrongly. The cute topshop tee is now smudge with blue botches. And I haven even wear it for a year yet.

So mad at myself for botching up my experiment although I made sure I am not doing anything wrong. Davis might even scrape my project off. My half year work gone.

Recollections on the stupid incident few mths ago as well as other miscellaneous unhappy stuff.

I wanna scream and cry and throw glassware onto concrete walls.

I hate my own bad luck with pple.

Random

2009-12-04T21:43:00.002+08:00

Ok, I am even busy after the exams.

Lab. There's more trouble as my project has many errors and the project might even be cancelled if an experiment results determined the worst. Haix.

This means that my fyp fate rests on that result. If it is true, all my efforts in the half year are wasted and I can go sit in one corner and cry.

Anyway, I wanted to update this blog with pictures. And many pple are coaxing me to buy camera.

Aiyah, I also wanna buy. But not enough money yet.

I also wanna take a picture of the beautiful christmas decorations this year.

I wanna go genting too. Haix.

It's late and I am still in the lab.
......

No lah, I am already leaving. And there's no one here, so I just took some time to blog. HAHA.

Depression sets in again

2009-11-06T21:03:00.003+08:00

Heart to heart talk with mum.

I hate it.

Yeah, my attitude is bad. To dad and you. That's the only way I can let you know that something is wrong.

But all she said was that I have to be understanding to my dad and her. That they are sick, with several illness and considerations. That dad brought me up, very difficult, and it hurts him that I didn't talk to him. Saying that she has no income, very difficult to bring us up. All the usual stuff.

Something new is that she brought up the past that she used to fight with my grandpa with no chance of saying sorry. And that my dad has kidney problem. And that I cannot be selfish, and she knows that I am doing this because I felt like I am deprived of something. Good guess. But she didn't ask further.

She doesn't know that I feel equally worried for them. All she does is to say what I should feel and do. And?

He transferred money, when I didn't even want it. I refuse to touch it. They need it. So why does he transfer me?

Yah, I am NOT sensible. NOT understanding. NOT everything I am used to be. But do they ever know why I became like that? Maybe they never will. Because even if they ask, even if I tell them, the whole thing starts again. Telling me to be more sensible etc. Trying to knock sense into me.

Then what's the use of even telling them in the first place?

All I can do is to do it my own way.

Maybe, I am supposed to kneel down and cry and say that, "I am sorry for all my sins, please forgive me."

Maybe I should do that and then jump down from my building.

Bad day

2009-10-27T11:13:00.001+08:00

Bad day.

1) Bus 9 was 30 mins late. Made me late for lab. And made von wait for so long.

2) Stupid ferlis blazer was so disappointing. Don't give false promises as customers take literally what you say, bitch.

3) Took out the wrong plates for mich. Took out Rupali's one instead. They were temperature-sensitive. Who knows what will happen although I left it for only an hour.

4) Took out mich's ACTUAL plates only after one hour I reached. Anything goes wrong and its my fault again.

Events are true up till 11.15am on 27th October 2009.

It doesn't pay to be a nice person. It totally sucks.

#1 of Blacklist

2009-10-17T22:04:00.001+08:00

A spree organizer called ferlis is now my number one in my blacklist. I participated in her sprees 4 times, and I was always disappointed.

1) Before chinese new year this year. Had ordered clothes as she assured that it will be before CNY. In the end, due to supplier, only half of the stock reach on time. Half of mine reach on time, while one was OOS. Never mind, since I think it's partly supplier's fault. She could just confirm with the supplier on reaching on time though. But pple make mistakes, so I forgive her. She refund postage, and said she would send a free skull racerback. But she send another one instead, and no email about the change. Never mind, I understand. But at least, email me.

2) The next spree after the CNY. Bought some clothes. She sent the wrong one. I was quite surprised, and a bit annoyed. But pple do make mistakes, and twice is a coincidence, so I forgive her. I even went down to her place at night just to exchange.

3) The next spree after the (2). This is the worse experience. Ordered clothes again. One arrived but two were sent back. She NEVER emailed me about it. Make me wait and wait. Until I saw her updates on the blog, where she say she mailed out other packages. I was still wondering how come my nick wasn't on it. Even thought that she cheated my money. But I sent an email to her, and she took quite awhile to reply me about the situation. Note: I have to sent an email to her, not the other way round. I don't mind waiting, but not updating me about it is not the way you should handle this. I understand you have school and exams and projects, but I am a customer, not your fren. You should at least have the decency to email me about it.

Since one was already here, I asked her whether she can send me that first. She said OK, but I waited for a long time, and it was never sent. Great. So I thought that she was going to wait until the others arrive and send together. Which is really what she did. Then in the first place, please don't give the OK, or you can again, email me about the change.

Seriously, this is when I considered giving her negative feedback. It is really quite a bad experience. But I decided to give it a rest, and in turn, not to enter any of her sprees again.

4) This time round, recently, my fren saw her blog, and convinced me to trust her. So I gave her just one more chance. It couldn't be that suay that everytime I spree with her, I would always have a bad experience rite? Ok. So I ordered. This time, she have major OOS stuff, and I got only two of my ordered items. GREAT. It is THAT suay. She refunded, and I calculated that she still take back the postage and shipping required for those two items.

I am not going to spree with her again. EVER.

Projects

2009-10-17T21:09:00.003+08:00

Silly me.

I just deleted some photos I am going to upload. Damn it.

Went bowling for the first time in my life on friday. Horrible score. Most balls just run off to the drain. I need more practise. :(

This recent friday was my pharmaco project meeting. The annoying girl was not there, and I was quite relieved. The slide making progress fast. AND THEN she descended. As usual, she tried to convinced us to her point and we were stuck. As she left to do 118 samples of DNA gel running, we took advantage of those gaps and quickly finished the slides. I left at 11pm and reached home at 12am. At least there are still buses left for me to take.

This meeting was so rushed that I forgot to put mich's bacteria plates in the 37 degrees incubator. Dear mich, I am so so sorry. Luckily she was there today, and put them there. I only got to know when she sms me today during tuition. Haix.

Project meeting for immuno today. Initially got a photo of my beautiful macbk and coffee, but I accidentally deleted it. (-__- )
Missed the bus, making me late for 15 mins. But no power plugs found in mac, and we scoured around KFC. Ate breakfast at mac, before leaving with Jane and jianfu to recce for power point plugs.

Ended up in starbucks, where an annoying waitress/barrista came telling us not to study (with papers) but allow us to open our laptops (cuz have wireless). Even tell us to buy more drinks because we take up space and use power plug, then unfair to other pple.

Initial stages of the meeting was confusing, looking at how we should arrange our slides. In the end, we split up the work. Me and Julian started to arrange slides in the result section.

Took an awful lot of time to understand what the others had written on the slide. In the process, Jane bought food, and smells whiffed through our noses. Yuan shared croissant with me too. :)
I was abit preoccupied with the slides and didn't hear yuan's questions at times... Sorry girl... I apologize if I did offend u...

Me and Julian went off early, going for tuition. Tuition kid tried to bluff me that she have school next week, when she got mon to wed off due to PSLE marking. What a brat. Luckily I saw the announcement regarding her exam before, and still remember. Gave her tons of homework as punishment. Should be fine since she even have time to go genting tml.

Talked to brother today during dinner. Somehow, parents came into the conversation over the dinner table. Didn't show much expression cuz I still upset about that matter.

Spilled milk is always bitter.

Lightening of mood

2009-10-11T23:56:00.004+08:00

Things to lighten up the blog mood.

- Went out shabu shabu buffet with von. Only the two of us. WCP again. Sakae again.

Coffee lovers at WCP Starbucks. Free wireless here.

PGP canteen (non-aircon). The North Indian cuisine is one of the better stores.
- Naan with sides.
Sweet eunice treating me with London Choco roll. My first time eating this highly publicised cake.
That's for now.

Things happening in my family

2009-10-10T19:38:00.003+08:00

Dad got frustrated.

Blames the whole family for not understanding his suffering. Saying that they don't know about his suffering blah blah. And he purposely talk about it in the kitchen when I am in the living room doing that stupid pbl.

Mum was trying to talk him out.

I said nothing. It's not like I don't know about it. I even did my part to help reduce any expenses. Reducing electricity, not taking in pocket money. And what?

They all cared about themselves.

And they don't bother to try and ask what's happening to their children. Well, mum did. But I didn't say. And I don't intend to tell her anyway. If I tell her, all I get are things that make me more depressed than I already am.

Since he wanted to retire so much, he should.

I will leave then. Save him the trouble and money. Of course I will give the money he used on me back to him.

That's the extend I will go.

2009-10-05T20:53:00.003+08:00

Not only it's back to square one.

It's becoming negative one.

Can't you just tell me nicely?

Can't you just don't scream at me?

Hormonal changes are not excuses.

I hate you.

2009-09-26T21:27:00.002+08:00

I hate it.

I hate it.

I hate it.

I wish it would just burn and disintegrate.

So that I don't have to cry every night.

Frustration once more

2009-09-23T12:51:00.002+08:00

I am very very very pek chek.

I am now officially depressed as well.

Don't say anything.

Don't ask me anything.

2009-09-17T21:44:00.009+08:00

Hey guys!

Have been busy with test and lab, and finally today there's a chance to catch my breath and blog!

Past few activities...

3rd sep:
Went out with Bryan today for some catching up. Went to this restaurant at Marina Square... The Manhattan Fish Market. It was a friday, so there were lotsa pple. The seafood platter for two was nice! It's better than Fish and Co. :)

Went to sing overnight K cuz I got sudden craving! Went to eat mac breakfast at raffles shopping centre after that, and I saw some people who were a little drunk after a night out at clubbing around. I took the first train home, slept for like 3 hours before going to my tuition that day.

11 sep:
A nite out at west coast plaza again. We ate sakae again.
New item I tried at sakae... The gyoza.

But I wanted to try the japanese sweet shop, so we didn't eat alot at sakae. The desserts were great!

Von with our mango mountain!

Went shopping at the very few boutiques and saw lotsa nice clothes, but damn ex sia. 30 bucks for a dress. I am now very highly selective for my clothes, and any clothes above 20 is already in my "not buying" zone. My family is incredibly pok now, with me as well, having only 2 digit in my bank. My new lowest amount available.

We then went to the coffee bean there, and order drinks (cuz apparently, there are discounts). I ordered the usual hot latte while von ordered the cafe au lait, which takes an awful time to make. So we sat there and look at spree clothes while waiting.

The latte and long-awaited cafe au lait. Nice pattern for the cafe au lait!

The spree organiser was one that I ordered before, but I am not fond of her. After all, out of the 3 times I join her spree, two were not a good experience. The first one was wrong package sent. I have to go down to her place to exchange the goods. The other was that my stuff were defective (as she claims it) and needed to wait additional 2 weeks to arrive. I was a bit reluctant spree, but looking at the stuff, I decided to buy some (cheap ones). There was one blazer she guaranteed the quality, but I have yet to see the goods. It better be good, and nothing goes wrong. Because if they do, I am seriously going to hack down her house.

Interesting things I saw:
Just yesterday, we ended immuno early, and was strolling through the bazaar when we saw this cat.

It was not a stray. It has a collar...

Guess who it belongs too? The answer...

NUS!!! HAHA. Imagine our surprise when we saw this. My eyes nearly popped out like Mrs Lam's during JC.

Another kitty...

In a cup. From my tutee's house. So cute~

Haha. That's all :)

Everything

2009-09-03T21:47:00.006+08:00

Ok ok. I know. I am busy with lab, so I didn't get the chance to update.

Let's start from today.

Today:
I had thought that I would have lab meeting, so I was hurrying myself to read finish the journal. To my dismay, the lab meeting was cancelled. And I only got to know it just after I reach the lab and print that journal out.

So, at lab, I started my experiments, went for classes, and came back to finish the experiments again.

My tutee had originally wanted me to go and help her to find a chinese storybook for her assignment, and I was like, "Er, my school does not have that kind of storybooks"

She even wanted me to go all the way to the Jurong East Library, which I dun even know where the hell that was. Forget it man.

In the end, the father called, asking me to cancel that tuition cuz I was still in the lab, trying to finish the experiment. Haix. I had even wanted to take cab, but never mind.

I met XJ at the MRT platform, and was quite surprised. After that, Yiwei magically appeared, and we started to talk about the money for presents. Apparently, XJ say that they bought other things besides watch, so I tease her and ask if the watch is cheapskate one, cheap until so paiseh then need to add other stuff. She vehemently denied that, and say that the watch has one year warranty. HAHA. XJ very cute leh. :D

1 sep:
A boring tuesday morning, with me spending my free day at the lab again, doing the experiment for the 4th time, because my results are so sucky that I need to redo again.

Went out with von to West coast plaza after that, cuz I couldn't stand the urge to buy the nike windbreaker and the Levi's jeans! Guess what, the jeans are loose. One is even a skinny jeans. Oh man. Defeats the purpose of being a skinny jean, when it's so loose.

We ate at Sakae again, and the manager still remember us. Of course, John Siong remember us. HAHA.

We ate unagi and tempura bento, with other sushi. Too bad there was no mochi le.

29 aug:
My primary school tutee gave me a teacher's day flower! So sweet of her. She made the card herself.

Haha. Makes me so happy :)

28 aug:
Went to lab.

I had lunch with mich and yiwei at the sun bistro. Seems new.

We had the set lunch one for one.

Stewed brinjal. Yiwei's dish~
Chicken chop. Mine and mich'sAssorted cheesecakes.
A sundae I ordered :)

In the end, my experimental incubation overshot and I screwed up my 3rd sample. Food wins over experiment~ HAHA.

Finally went out with Kaisze and marilyn, after weeks of smsing and deciding where to go.

Went to Alps Cafe, which is near the Mind's cafe. It had a Karaoke machine, so you can eat your food and sing. But the thing is that, it is friday, and quite a lot of pple, and you have to queue for the song. You will be singing at your table, and nobody knows who is singing unless you purposely hold the mike very high.

We gorge ourselves on the food, while hearing pple sing. Cuz we only 3 pple, and we are sitting in a prominenet place, so we don't really want to sing. In the end, we went for overnight Kbox. I was enthusiastic, but Kaisze and maril cannot tahan the overnight trip, so in the end, we had to cab home. Haix.

21 aug:

Went for Shabu Shabu at Sakae at West coast plaza with darren, yz, ncc and von. Ate ALOT. The person serving was John Siong. We remembered the name cuz he was the one who witnessed our yau qwee power! HAHA. We kept ordering the meat and the sushi until we wanna explode le. That sakae so suay, almost going broke because of our appetites. HAHA.

The steamboat (Chicken soup)

In the middle of eating.

After walking and shopping around, we went back to sakae to use our 10 bucks voucher on ala carte ice cream. The manager was very shocked to see us. He thought we are having second round. He just asked us if we are going for the sushi buffet. We laughed but quickly told him we eating ice cream. He must have heaved a sigh of relief lor.

17 aug:
Me, ncc, darren, yz and von went for our gossip session at sakae at bugis. Talked a lot about stuff happening around us, and here's what they ordered.

Curry Katsu (Darren)

My order (Soba)

After that, we stopped by coffee bean at iluma for some coffee again.

Here's a cheesecake. I forgot where I ate it. HAHA.

Nothing

2009-08-28T00:58:00.002+08:00

You know, sometimes I just don't get it.

This weird feeling I have.

I wonder if the people I call "friends" are really friends at all. Somehow, things happen and I just get this feeling.

Maybe I am a bad friend too. That's why people treat me somewhat similar to how I treat them.

Many things feel like a farce. On the surface. Superficial. Whatever you call it.

"Friend" this, "Friend" that. Sounds like 2oth Century boys the movies.

Was pissed off at my mum yesterday.

I was watching CSI:Miami, and she was watching with me.

Suddenly she started blabbing about looking at houses, how she would prefer it at Pasir Ris. So I told her that we move in after I graduated. At least travelling would not be a factor. She say that my dad wants to offer a HDB at Pasir Ris whose lift is freaking weird and stops at .5 floors (middle of 2 floors). We still had 1 yr of our rental to go and you are offering so soon? I just dun understand the rush. AND there's NO way I am going to move there.

My current rented house is on the lift landing and I shifted those boxes like I worked in the construction site. You want me to shift the same damn boxes up stairs in that HDB? Wait long long.

That's what I told my mum. And she started to nag me about how the place is big, and bedok areas are small for the same price, simei is expensive, we have to think about dad, his stress at work and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Man, I was super pissed.

Super irritated. And she DARE to say that Pasir Ris is just additional 15 mins of MRT. I just started snapping at her. "15 mins ONLY! Say until so easy.Like it's nothing. You travel everyday to school and see!"

She didn't stop. Started to preach about how we have to make do and etc. I just can't be bothered to answer her. And that took away my 20 mins of CSI.

I have enough of Pasir Ris. I am NEVER moving back there ever.

It sucks

2009-08-26T14:44:00.003+08:00

Oh man. I just totally suck at lab.

Davis Ng asked my mentor to give me a month to get hold of things and re-evaluate. This is already the third week and I still have weird results and errors.

"Just started" is not an excuse. I am a year 4 life science student. Even the interns and UROPS students are better than me.

Feel stressed. Haix

Update finally!

2009-08-24T21:22:00.002+08:00

Woohoo! Here I am.

Yup. As you can guess, I finally got my new laptop. A macbook Pro!

The moment I opened the package, I just can't help but go "WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

It's just too gorgeous. HAHA.

And so now I am using it. Muahahha. Though I need to get used to it. Haha.

Just yesterday, I went for tuition at Jurong East and I got in the train at Bedok. I saw Pauline, a secondary school mate last time.

She slimmed down alot and had a bf. (It's a sunday, so it's normal for couples.)

Anyway, I was quite surprised that she was in NUS before. Since I had never seen her in my whole Uni life.

After tuition, I came back, and to my shock, my mum says that the aircon was leaking chemicals after the aircon wash in my brother's room.

What the hell?

The aircon in my room wasn't washed, so it makes me wonder why the chemicals will leak around. Most of my stuff smell of chemicals, and my white clothes were stained into a chemically altered blue colour. Sorry jia, duck and mich. The Project angel shirt was one of the 'victims' in the disaster.

I had tons to update, but I just couldn't remember them at the moment. I will update once I remember them.

Now, let me drown in the pleasure of typing away at my new Mac. :D

And more updates

2009-08-17T10:32:00.002+08:00

Had went to watch UP movie in 3D!

It was my first 3D movie in S'pore though I watched some in HK disneyland. It was really nice! I mean the plot also v nice.

It was also Joo's first 3D movie, so both of us are excited about it. We went early around 5.30pm to eat at Billy Bombers. The signboard used to be USA Dining, and me and von ate there before, so I was kinda surprised that they took off that signboard and put Billy Bombers instead.

Anyway, we ate a combo meal, and talk until around 6.50pm. We then went to buy Nachos to enjoy the movie.

It ended fast (100 mins) and by the time it ended, I was like, "Huh? It ended?" I can't seem to adjust to it. Haha.

Anybody wanna watch Orphan? I heard it was really scary. HAHA.

Updates

2009-08-17T10:28:00.003+08:00

You know what?

My house is sold. For a few hours in the morning just after the advertisement was published in Classified.

Fast right? Damn fast lor.

I was surprised because when my dad start to sell the neighbour's unit, it was ongoing for a few months. Pple complained about the noise from the fountain (as if they can hear it from their unit), radioactivity from the electrical room (obviously, they didn't know very much about electricity) and etc. So when my mum call me to tell me that it was sold, I was like, "WHAT??!!!"

At least that's a burden off dad's shoulders. And for pple who last visited my house few weeks or mths ago, that's your last! Haha. No more gym and swimming pool or bbq outings le.

Feel a bit sad, as that house was my favourite so far.

Going Mad

2009-08-05T17:38:00.002+08:00

ARGHHH.

I am going mad.

Even weekends are not enough to pack my stuff.

It's a whooping 10 boxes for me, even though I threw lotsa stuff. And the boxes are big, around my knee height.

I thought I had it real bad, but my mum is worse off.

She gotta pack the kitchenware, master bedroom, toilets, living room... She even had to pack my brothers' room cuz my brother is in army. The other brother plays his com after school and only just helped to throw the rubbish for one day. She had to pack the storeroom, even though mostly are my dad's stuff, cuz my super fantastic dad didn't help also.

I asked him one day, "You not helping?' cuz I just couldn't stand seeing my mum taking all the kitchenware out and wrapping them one by one with newspaper. He just said, "I leave it up to you all..." FINE. Even though he was the one that wanted to move.

So it's up to me and mum. I was just so exhausted everyday from packing and piling up. We look like we are about to immigrate to somewhere else.

Every 7 years we move house. Even I am getting tired of it.

If my dad is going to move house again after yet another 7 years, I am going to go mad at him.

ROARR.

Moving again...

2009-07-30T21:03:00.002+08:00

I am moving again.

Believe it. We are so pok until we need to move.

Here's the plan:
No money -> Want to sell house -> Rent a flat for a yr -> move stuff -> Slowly sell the condo -> Choose a new HDB flat -> Move everything there.

And we found one, just today, decided to rent in two hours. Talk about fast.

Haix. And worse, we have to move in next week. O_O

Dunno whether there is any ah piao piao. I hope not. After all, I have to live there for a year.

So now, I have to start packing. Luckily, Davis Ng say I start my project on the 11th of August. If not, my weekends are sacrificed for packing already.

Say goodbye to my dear room in my house in my condo. BAH.

Crumbling in pressure

2009-07-08T22:06:00.002+08:00

Felt the ultimate pressure today.

Seeing so many people wearing the cool graduate gowns and wearing the squarish hats, I keep wondering if taking honours was the right choice for me.

It's not as if my grades are super good and cool, with no worries about getting a second class upper.

Of course, other factors are messed inside. Like my family faced a financial crisis recently. I have no more pocket money allowance from my parents anymore, and have to support everything that I wanted. My father couldn't even support my studies, and considered taking our last resort, which is a bank loan.

I just kept thinking that I should graduate and start to work.

Then, when I saw Jia hwa they all, who are the same batch as me, I realised that the cohort just shrank so small that my results, which were average, can become a cushion for others who aimed so high up. Stress started to pour in.

Bryan said he was jealous of me taking honours. But I kinda envied him being able to find a job so soon, and able to start working. Yeah, I know. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I began to think of the times when people claim they couldn't get an A for their test and were sad about it, when I was just all too happy to get a B and B+. And I began to think of the times where people asked for my results, when they are happy with theirs. When you just feel that you are doing fine, people told you that they have A's for their modules, and gave you a sympathetic look and tell you to work harder, you get the feeling that you are not good enough no matter how hard you try. And that the other people who asked you about your supposedly-below-par results don't really care about you at all.

So what if I am taking honours? I am facing the same thing over and over again in my university life.

As I was taking photos today, I saw so many couples around, helping to take photos. That kinda give me some pressure, like how come I haven't had anyone in mind that I possibly like to the extent of being a boyfriend. I guess I am just not that good for anybody, and possibly vice versa.

My mind's so messed up. Haix.

commencement

2009-07-08T21:16:00.008+08:00

Went to commencement today!

Not me being graduated lah. Haha.

Acty, I was working when I realised that Weiheng's commencement ends at 4.30pm, and I had to get a letter from NUS service centre to prove that I am a student of NUS for my flight to Penang, so I asked for leave at around 4.30pm.

Reached there just in time to take photos with Weiheng. And I unexpectedly, found many people! Scamp committee pple, teng boon, zhong hong, John, Chem pple (Jia hwa, qingfu and etc). Took many photos with their cameras (cuz I dun have one. My dad took his back :( ).

Suddenly, I saw Jane helping John to take photo, and I was really surprised! Cuz I thought I was the only one from our clique mah. Haha

Seeing so many pple graduate, like a bit sad leh.

In the end, I couldn't get the letter, and have to request for half day leave on the next day to get it. Damn.

Went to Tampines 1 with Joo last Sat! After scouring around the floors, we had ALOT of time left, so we went to Tampines mall, where there is the Hokkaido fair. MY GOODNESS. There are LOTS and LOTS of people, and we just managed to squeeze inside to LOOK only. We then started to queue for oishi-looking manjus on sale, when I got a hard knock on the elbow from the person beside me. It's Waysi!!!!!!! Haha.

I haven't seen her for like half a year, and we talked about HK!! She introduced a few good places, and told us to avoid certain boring places. Looks like I have to revise my itinerary again!

The oishi-looking manjus in two flavours: Custard cream and red bean.

She was walking around with her friends, who happen to be Joo's St. Nic's friends, and one of them happen to be Jiafen's cousin!!! What a small world. After that, I saw Yuanrong with Waysi and friends. They were having mahjong session! Aiyah, nv tell me. Haha :)

All of us (Waysi and friends + us) then went to queue for ice cream, which is a damn long queue. We ordered sesame and sakura mochi. Not bad lah.

Went to manpuku at Tampines 1 after that, when there were very few pple.

I called for okonomiyaki, which is like a mash of vege with fillings and egg into a pancake-like thingy. Haha. Not bad lah. I wanted to try this cuz of a J-Drama, where they cooked this. It looked really nice, so I thought of giving it a try. Mine was the moonlight special, with prawns and bacon and a sunny-side up egg. The prawns are fresh :D

Joo ordered scallop ramen, in which she said was a little disappointing, cuz the scallop was pre-cooked, and just dumped into the bowl of ramen. She had expected it to be cooked right in front of her eyes, so they almost popped out when the person just picked a few scallops and throw into her bowl.

Dessert was next, where we queued for a mango tart and some tea. The tart is SUPER NICE and I really recommend it. A must try. (though it looks fattening). The tea has a really nice smell too! (Oriental flavour - Jasmine tea with some spices or smth)

The fruit parfait is so-so, and I think it's not really exceptionally good lah. Besides, the person who prepared it wasn't really friendly, and makes this dish dimmed in comparison with the tart.

Peach soda!

The person who served me that soda was a really nice Japanese female. And that peach soda is made from our normal soft drink dispenser. My mouth couldn't closed when I saw her mixing those soft drinks into this peach soda. And it tastes really like peach soda. Really amazing.

Till next time!

Company politics

2009-07-04T09:31:00.005+08:00

My father surprised me today.

"Ah, my daughter is already going to be 22 in another 3 weeks"

Ok, I am glad he talked to me after the cold war. But...

"Dad, usually people say this during the 21st birthday year. You are one year too late leh " (laughs)

"... Yeah, you are right. I must have had Amnesia already. Haha"

Interesting morning to start off with. HAHA :D

It's a bit messy around in my working place. Make that VERY messy.

Not the surroundings lah. Social wise. Ya know, the usual back-stabbing and I-bu-shuan-you that kind lah.

Firstly, characters: N, J, C, B, Y, A, H and Me. Alot rite. Haha.

Here goes.

I was working for like 2 weeks when N's attitude changes. N was a colleague that I worked with last year, just that it was at a different place. Apparently, she was promoted to do QC, so she changed her attitude to the all bossy and sucking up to the general manager, J. Fine by me, since it's none of my business. She started to shout at the newcommers who were from china, and started to reprimand them for their mistakes.

One day, she ask me to be quiet, which I really resented that action. Why? Because she was noiser than me before she was promoted, so I don't think she even have the right to say me. Also, I was asking questions about my work, and what makes N think that she can shut me up? That's when I did my best to avoid her. That's how I got into the picture.

But it all seems dumb, cuz she just sit beside me.

"Stapler"

"Chop"

I was using these things at that time she called. And she just demanded for it. Never mind, I will hand it to you. Not without giving you a muderous stare.

[Ok, so far is only N and me. (And J)]

One incident proved to be the last straw. As I would be leaving soon, one of my female colleague has to learn how to do my job. So one day, I had no seat to do other stuff. N just blatantly told my female colleague to leave her seat because I seem to have nothing to do (When I do have). My male colleague then stood up for me and my female colleague, indicating that I can do my work in the boss room. After a minor argument, though unsatisfied, she kept quiet. That very lunch hour, I just can't help but complained to a closer colleague, Y. That's when the snowball roll down the mountain.

Me: You know, N has been kind of idiotic recently. She keep finding faults and shouting at people, even though it's normal for people to make mistakes. Of course if they keep repeating, she can have the right to reprimand lah. Just now, she .... (recount the incident about the seating problem).

Y: Aiyah, she is like that. You know, that day, she told me and another colleague that we must report to her how many boxes we shift.

Me: Like what for? She is not even in charge of that. She is in charge of people who do scanning mah..

Y: Precisely. Then she say we must shift more boxes than we are doing now.

Me: HAH?

Y: We are like shifting 180 boxes per day, and she ask us to do more. So I was super bu-shuang, and I argued with her. I told her it cannot be done, and she even said that she last time shift boxes before. So I shoot her back, and ask her how many boxes she shift. Whether she can shift 180 boxes. If she can, she shift lah. Then she diam diam, bu shuang.

Me: Wah lao. You know, A also a bit like that leh. I have to be careful with her around.

(A sits opposite of N, and also does QC)

Y: A? Last time she not like that. Recently she is showing her true colours.

A, like N, was a colleague I knew about. My other colleagues that I worked with previously had warned me about her, so I was careful not to say anything in front of her.

One incident was that we used recycled paper as cover pages. We had used it for some time, and A didn't say anything. (N wasn't around) Until one day, when I told a stack of those coverpages and went into the boss's room (due to shortage of desks said previously), then she told my male colleague that the recycled paper contained confidential and personal information, and we shouldn't used it. I heard it, but said nothing. Then my colleague came running to me telling me that. I was like "Now then she say this." Why? All because N was around. (aka sucking up)

[So far: Me, J, Y, A, N]

A few days later, most people were called to another room by J. I wasn't called in because I belong to another department (but we were in the same area in the office). At first, I thought the newcommers were to be scolded for their carelessness. I didn't think much of it until one of the newcommers signal for me to go to her desk. She asked me how to write H's english name, cuz she only knew her chinese name. I wasn't very sure, so I asked my male colleague sitting opposite me (also sitting beside A). My male colleague then exclaimed loudly, "Do I have a part in it??", which was meant to be a joke, though a little insensitive lah.

The newcommers then laugh at it, while my colleague told me in a soft voice how to spell her name. Then A, suddenly came over and grab the paper and write down her name and N's name, while telling me "this is how you write it in english". LIKE I CARE ABOUT YOUR NAME? What a scheming person she is. Besides knowing who the newcommers vote, she can try to influence the decision on who to vote. Reminds me of Cixi.

I just didn't care, and told the newcommers what they wanted. After that, H was made the supervisor. H is a softspoken, helpful and nice lady, so I was really glad she got to be the supervisor. But I was really blur, cuz I thought N was already promoted.

C and B then shed light on the subject during one lunch hour. Apparently, she wasn't the supervisor. YET. Probably, she was one of the shortlisted people for the post.Then she act all nice and dedicated in front of the general manager, while she boss other people around, including those from other departments. C told me that she made a mistake by saying, "I am the supervisor", when she is not. I mean, DUH, if you do that, you can't win people over. She will be demoted as soon as she is promoted man. After that, she was really in a bad mood, except she exclude the bossing around. B then also told us about her attitude at work, like she goes home when she don't have the mood to do things, or comes half day when she feels like it. How can this kind of people be made the supervisor?

Probably, she thought that J was the one who would do the promoting, and not via vote, so she sucked up to her.

Anyway, it all settled down somewhat, except I kept up with my ignoring and usual murderous stares for N. She don't tell me to shut up now, she tell those people who are conversing with me. HAH.

Fly away...

2009-06-28T10:32:00.007+08:00

I went to the airport Terminal 3 today! Von had to go to hk for summer exchange programme, so we went to see her off. We had a little chat with her parents and her, before seeing her off. Of cuz, we took photos, which might take some time to upload. Haha.

Her parents were really nice, as they sent me home! Felt really paiseh, since I kinda like give wrong directions then her father a bit irritated. Oops, sorry uncle.

This is my next new favourite fast food! Beef fries from Carl's Juniors. Really nice! Am so stuck to it that this is a must have for all my previous outings. HAHAHA. I am getting fatter already.

Went shopping with von last saturday. We had been patrolling the streets in sunny orchard for all the previous outings, so we decided to change our venues. So after we repaired our specs at bedok, we went to take Bus 168 to woodlands interchange to shop at Causeway point! It's our first time in the North area, so we are as good as tourists over there.

Subsequently, we went to Northpoint, where to our disappointment, the espirit warehouse outlet was gone due to extension works? Not too sure. So we went to Junction 8 at Bishan, for some shopping.

There is a new sakae outlet (I think), and the Salmon Karaage was really soft and nice!!!! It's so far the best among all other sakae outlets. Really should go and try. There are very few people there also, and its quit nice and cozy.

I want more food! HAHA.

Picnic!

2009-06-28T00:32:00.013+08:00

Went to the marina barrage today. I had tuition before that, and went to sakae sushi to buy the sachi sushi set.

It was my first time at marina barrage, and there were alot of people there flying kites! I was a little lost, when I see one group of people standing in one line, jumping for a photo. Yeah, that was jia, yuan, xj, jane, mich and jiafen. Found them. Haha.

They bought a lot of food also! I came late, so my main activity was to eat all the food they bring. Not bad for a YQUCC prof. HAHA.

The kites were already up in the air, and I nearly brought them down. Oops. I tried once, and still not too bad. But when mich tried, there was little wind. A pair of father and son saw us, and the young boy wanted to play with the kite! He kept asking whether we need help. Haha.

After that, the little boy didn't want to pass us the kite! In the end, the father thanked us for letting them play with it. So cute. Haha.

We then went to the esplanade for some haagen daz fondue, but they decided that it was too ex. Well, I ate it before with von an yuzhi.

Mac got new ice cream! But I was quite tired and thirsty, so I didn't order that. I ordered ice green tea instead.

Previous stuff that I ate: Fathers day

It's the first time I ate 佛跳墙, so it was a new experience. I don't know how many layers are there, but for that, it was 3 layers. My uncle won the lottery, bought himself a new car as well as treat us to a feast there.

The first layer: Fried fish oil. Nice!

The second layer: Abalone (No pic cuz I was too excited and ate finished it)

The third and last layer: Chicken and stuff I don't know. Haha.

Expensive seafood next!

蚌 with galic! Quite nice eh.

Cheese lobster! REALLY NICE!!!Not forgetting the Shark's fin!

More food next!

Suay

2009-06-26T22:00:00.002+08:00

Wah suay.

Today, I was one minute late. Because of the doors of the MRT. Somehow, there was a malfunction, and the driver just keep closing and opening the doors. Make me late for one minute for my work. 1min late = extra 15 min at work to make it 8 hrs.

The company was in a container like site, probably due to lack of space on that floor. The toilet auntie super eccentric. I saw that there are no more tissue left, so I wanted to go to the lower floors. The auntie saw and say, "You cannot go down to the toilets below!" So I ask her why. She repeat without giving a reason. So I told her I wanna get tissue instead. She insist that I have to go to the toilet on my floor. By then, I was feeling weird and that this conversation is really ridiculous. The auntie saw that I didn't intend to budge from my position, and was pissed. She finally contemplate with exclaiming, "Aiyah! Now the office people on the lower floors are going to complain that the toilet is dirty LAH!"

SUPER RIDICULOUS. The auntie who sells food saw, and quickly mouthed the words, "Don't ask her anything!" Unfortunately, I took some time to see and just stare at the toilet auntie with a crazy-oversensitive-and-blowing-up-small-matters look. I went back to the office and ask my colleagues if the auntie was like that. Well, apparently, my colleague say that she is the toilet auntie, but she even tries to govern who park in the carpark's reserve slot. As if she drive to work man. Eeks.

After that, I went to PS to pass von her contact lens. And I became super and unbelivably suay on the way back.

I was on a train, when the train stopped at Kallang. It was a bit delayed, but hey, that happens sometime. No worries.

The driver announced that the train would be delayed.
Still ok, no problem.

After that, the driver say that there was a person on the track ahead (at Aljunied). I was like, "Woah, cannot be so suay ba" and waited. By then, some commuters who were rushing to go home, just left the train. There is a couple who talked with the driver (I was in the first compartment), and I heard "jumped train", so I thought someone jumped train.

I thought that after some waiting, the train will move. So I waited. Then, the driver announced that the train was not for passenger service anymore. Now at this point, when I was shooed from the train, I started to feel a hostility to the stupid bastard on the tracks. (since I heard "jumped train")

It was rush hour (home), so the platform was really full of people. Everybody squeezed and rushed to the bus-stop, looking for buses. I had straight buses home, but the situation is really horrible. You can really see the ugly singaporeans. Not one, but many. The buses that came were mostly full (All other trains at mrt stations before us were stopped), and the people just rushed to board the buses with plenty of pushing and "tsk" and frowns.

Ugly sight. I should have taken a photo of it. They are like angry protestors swarming around the buses and trying to attack (board) it. I only managed to board a bus after several buses left, and all this time, I was irritated at the person on the track. So much for inconvenience caused.

ARGHHHH. Just felt so disgusted at that person.

long time no see

2009-06-25T20:59:00.005+08:00

Hey all!

It's been one and half month since I updated. Cuz I was busy with work that end up with me having OT everyday. But today I managed to end early (still have OT), and met xj on the mrt! She reminded me that I haven't updated my blog, so here I am.

Last month (Quite long ago liao), I went to Mediacorp for 综艺 Go Live!. My mum's fren had managed to get tickets for that, so me, my mum and two aunts went. My first time to caldecott hill! Haha.

Alot of aunties and uncles were there! And I saw 陈建彬 with his golden hair.

After a while, some one signal for us to follow them, and we went down and queued at the carpark. (If you watched 双子星 yesterday, we stand where 黄俊雄 was making a call when he got attacked). We queued in twos while the 工作人员 help to collect our tickets.

We then went in a small group to the TV theatrette. The process was horrible, as there is one uncle who need to control the number of people. We were the first, and were clueless on where to go. He didn't say anything, instead, shout to us the directions, which were so confusing. Oh, and his attitude is somewhat unnerving.

After some turning about, we managed to reach the theatrette, where we chose seats that the camera can see us a little. One of the 幕后工作人员 was the guy who sang <睫毛弯弯> in the show <永言不败>, though I forgot his name. He taught us what to do, and entertained the old uncles and aunties. Soon after, the show started, and we saw 郭亮, 李腾and pornsak. It was quite interesting since I never been to a live show.

During advertisments, the hosts rest while the guy who taught us what to do talked and entertained those uncle and aunties. 郭亮 is the cool cool type, never really talked much outide of the show. I like pornsak and 李腾 more, cuz they got a bit of interaction.

Some photos:

The camera that swings around! Can see us leh :)

Alot of lights! That's why so bright.

People playing a game for next week's tickets. Haha.

Around the theatrette

My aunts who came specially from malaysia to watch it!

I can't wait for hk trip!

Updates

2009-05-29T10:55:00.002+08:00

Ok, it's a long time since I last updated. Well, not much news.

I went for an outing with the Leo club people last thursday, crapping our way through with driving tests tips and jobs found at Ashton's Kitchen. The food is cheap, and the auntie there is very nice despite Jeremy's somewhat peculiar demands of fries seasoning ( It's not the salt. ) and cold ice water. And the food is cheap! Though I just ate it, forgetting to take the photo again..

We went to watch Night at the Musuem 2, which was really funny and hilarious. I was laughing the whole time, and just can't stop :)

Went for a "quickie" as weiyen termed it, for a quick bite at rocher beancurd, to celebrate Jeremy's belated birthday with straws as candles and beancurd as cake. Muahahah. He had to comtemplate with eating that beancurd, seeing the the two holes poked by the straws.

Went to John Little sale yesterday too! But I was a bit irritated due to the heat, and somehow, me and my mum fought verbally in the expo. Bad bad experience. But I managed to buy 2 shorts and a new luggage to prepare for my trip to HK and maybe penang. Haha.

Anyone wanna go Genting? Though our own IR is opening, I still wanna go Genting. Haha.

Aftermath of exams

2009-05-15T12:37:00.006+08:00

The friday after my exam, I went for Kbox with Kimheng, yuanrong, darren, NCC and von. Well, partly because NTU had no study break, and end exams early, while NUS end a week later, despite starting school term at the same time...

Anyway, von was quite mad at Miss-everyone-hates-me, and all the guys want to know who that person was. Of course there were clues here and there, but no way we are going to tell them! HAHA. So don't ask who that person is. :)

Von had to leave early to collect a pass from the Californian fitness centre in Orchard, I believe. She mentioned that the sales personnel pratically haunt her for an entire year to convince her to sign up for free trial of yoga sessions... WOW. A year? That person never take NO for an answer huh.

We wanted to go eat buffet, but had to consider about Kimheng, so we end up at 'Naive', a restaurant nearby. The ambience mood is cool and all, but the stuff are quite expensive. There is a kind of 'opening ceramony' where you grind sesame seeds for blessings. Kimheng started first, and just did the action. Though it's all a ceramony, I start to grind for REAL. The sesame smell came out strongly, and soon after, everyone start grinding for real and laughing in the process.

The food is nice though the amount is not there. For a YQUCC prof like me and a masters student like Yuan rong, we almost went to the Korean BBQ Buffet just opposite. Haha =D

What we ordered~

Curry!

Some penang rendang with bun [right], fish [centre] and BBQ spring roll [left]

This is the main dish!!! Munting's Believe it or not!

*Main dish is mushroom at the centre*

After that, we went to marina for movie! We decided to catch Wolverine but to our dismay, the tickets left the 3rd row from the screen for 8.35pm show. So we ask about the 9.20pm one. Worst. We only left with the 2nd row from the screen. No choice.

We, being still hungry/thirsty, decided to buy subway cookies, nachos and drinks. Kimheng fell asleep in the movie!! Oh man. Haha.

The movie was filled with many cool hollywood effects... woah. It must be because I haven't watch movies for a long time that I enjoyed one as such.

Hmmm... I think that's about it...

More updates

2009-05-14T10:08:00.007+08:00

A few days later from the previous post, I finally made up my mind to blog again. Haha. The day when my last paper, aka Taming chaos, I went for dinner together with yuan, jane, xj and jiayin. I didn't know that it was a surprise, and kept msging yuan and calling her, when she was in the middle of a movie. Unfortunately, these made xj suspicious, and our surprise was, well, not a surprise anymore. While waiting for jane, we went to the toilet. It was really NICE! Like hotel sia. There are even toilet bowls that can automatically clean your butts by pressing buttons. But I don't dare to press. Haha.

The nice nice toilet~

The automatically washing toilet bowl...

Buttons... dare to press? ;)

And... instructions so you don't get suck down the toilet bowl~

We went to Shokudo food bazaar for dinner. It is the one at the basement of Raffles City Shopping centre, a bit marche-style. I am considering that for the next field trip for YQUCC students. HAHA =D

The Interior...

The samurai who cuts you down for escaping without paying!!!

The stalls...

*I didn't have time to take photos of all stalls cuz I was too hungry!=P

Our reservation!

The birthday balloon :)

And... food that we shared -->

1) Beef burger (Jane)

Really big serving, and all of us start asking Jane whether she can finish. Haha

2) Ebi Tempura omelette teppanyaki (Michelle)

There are also small pieces of prawn meat inside the rice!

3) The chicken omelette teppanyaki (by Me)
Well, the chicken are in pieces hidden in the omelette rice. Good way to disguise amount of chicken pieces used :(
Taste not bad though...

4) Curry Rosti (Yuan)

This is nice and good~ Recommended if you haven't eat prata for days. HAHA. jk lah.

5) Rosti with sour cream (Jiayin)

Not too bad too :)

6)Prawn pizza (Jiayin,Xj)

Well, quite different from our Megabites one... haha.

7) Japanese Scallop (Jiayin, Xj)

Tastes good!

8) Oyster Omelette (Forgot who ordered)

Ok lah. I don't have a thing for oysters, so I can't really give an objective comment...

9) Drinks

- Cranberry Juice (Yuan and Jane)

Tastes not bad...

- Honey yuzu Ice tea (Xj)[Right]

Quite good!

- Apple vinegar (Jiayin)[Left]
Tastes like zappel...

10) Dessert!
Too bad I don't have pictures. But mich ordered macha ice cream float and I ordered banana toast. Both are GOOD. Haha.

We then sing Happy birthday for xj, and luckily for her, most people had already paid and left, so she do not have to be so embarassed... Haha =)

Next: Kbox

hoo-hah

2009-05-09T22:02:00.009+08:00

Unabling to use the bluetooth on my com is the last straw.

Hence I spent all my day to backup and reformat it. (-_-)

**************************************************************

Thursday was the last paper, a GEM. No stress as 1) it is an open book exam and 2) I am already in a holiday mood. For goodness sake, a 7 day break before the exam is just openly telling you "hey, go play! Don't care about the exam!". I did catch a break, but that was to check all my spree updates and etc.

After the Bioinfo paper the previous thursday, my father celebrated his and my brother's birthday at Gim Tim restaurant at Yio Chu Kang, along with our family friends. There was also a wedding at the restaurant, and the bride is just about my age. Makes me wonder if this is the case where you know, the bride gets pregnant first then she gets married.

The husband sounds like he is from China, maybe he is a permanent resident? Who knows. The MCs were their friends, and it was all comical and stuff. But the poor groom had no one to help him drink the wine and beer, and was flushed by the time he was near our table. (We were in the same restaurant, so our tables are pretty close). Soon, we see him rushing for the toilet to regurgitate all the stuff that were previously delicacies on the table... what a waste. Haha.

The bride even threw her bouquet in the restaurant. Well, at least they are mindful of throwing the bouquet at other people's tables, and decided to throw towards the stage. They even had to attempt twice because the bouquet hit the low ceiling for the first time.

My brothers were happily joining in the "yum seng" part, and were like saying "Eh, come to our table and yum seng! We want the champagne!", making me laugh like mad.

The restaurant had a cake for my dad. We wanted to sing Happy Birthday, when the restaurant put the music on the loud speakers, and my dad was like "ok, now the whole restaurant knows it's my birthday and they are helping to celebrate and sing". It was really funny, and I spent most of the time laughing rather than singing.

Some photos...

Dad amused by the music...

Make a wish~ Make a wish~

Me, Penny, and brothers...

And me and Penny...

The cake! *glint*

Guess what is this. Hohoho.

Before the dinner, I had gone shopping with mich at the new Tampines One. There isn't much, really. The Kopitiam is unbelievably small, and I was surprised that there are like only 6 stalls to choose from. We settled for Indian food and fish set.

Mich's Indian food. It's really ALOT.

Grilled fish set.

Mich pointed out that almost everybody are drinking a particular drink in the Kopitiam, and after some investigation, we found out that it was the Chendol. Apparently, it was so famous that the whole queue of people all asked for it. No kidding. The people in front and behind me all were calling for that Chendol. Of course I am ordering also lah. Haha.

The famous Chendol~

It was not bad lah. We were a bit confused on how to drink it, and after some fiddling and meddling, we decided that it should be mixed. And it SHOULD be mixed, if not it will be weird. Haha.

More on the next post~

In the middle of exams...

2009-05-06T17:22:00.008+08:00

With the exams almost done, I have lots to blog about.

Sadly, I am using the science library's com. So, I couldn't upload pictures.

Many things happened. Like my dad's birthday, my brother coming out from Tekong, helping my other brother to buy his lappy from TP.

And another thing that happened yesterday that make me wonder if I am at fault or the other party was.

****************************************************************
I met Jialin today while going to school. He finished his last paper yesterday (The unfortunate JS paper) and had to come to school today for a lab meeting with his prof and other lab partners. And the dumb and unconsiderate me just pushed him into the water by telling him that I got a C grade for JS2216. Not only that, I guess I delivered a half-finishing blow to him by telling him that I got a C grade for Immuno even though I did average for the test.

Though I had faith that he is one smart guy and won't end up like me, that is getting a C for those modules, I really need to reflect on myself for delivering those heavy blows to his er... mind?

Reflection and reflection:
1) Give straightforward answers to people who are INSISTENT on it
- aka, people who do not want to listen to the circumstances that lead to it
- People who think that you explaining your circumstances that lead to your actions are rubbish and redundant, and not answering the question they post to you.
- People who are mad and pissed off at you due to misunderstandings or whatever reasons.

2) Do not take other people for granted
- aka do things myself. Don't rely on others too much.
- Don't rely on selective people for certain things so that you don't feel guilty that you owe them. It will serve as a hurdle to your decisions or actions.

3) Know how to stop a conversation that you know will end up with the person persuading you to side with him or her stand no matter how small the problem is.
- aka, don't help the person to solve the problem.
- Give at most one reason on why the problem that person is talking about happen. Any thing beyond that just keep my mouth shut.
- Ignore any attempts of persuasion.

PS. The above mentioned are not actions that I will take to all my friends and associates, so don't worry. They only refer to particular persons that I remember from my past. yup. In other words, they are grumblings of the past. Haha.

I got the feeling that I am easily pushed around recently.

I need a boyfriend that helps me to NOT get pushed around so much. Haha.

School

2009-04-17T00:23:00.002+08:00

Recently, I am faced with people who are graduating.

Suddenly, I remember that I may join them. If my results are not good enough.

Totally forgot about it since I had to rush a deadline on wednesday, which made me stayed up till 5am for that cardio project.

Saw Bryan today, and talked to him about phones.

Turns out, my dad is upgrading his plan, and I can use his plan to change phone. Woohoo.

On the way home, I am reminded of the bioinfo project.

Fire broke out (in my mind).

Heck. I am not going to change anything. It's not something that can be done in a day... dood.

Do it yourself. You freaking idiot.

DAMN PISSED

2009-04-11T22:12:00.002+08:00

DON'T TREAT ME LIKE AN IDIOT.

Damn. I seriously want them to have a taste of my fists. Plus my anger.

Such a simple correction. Just do it yourself. You don't have to tell me to do it.

And don't think that only you have a temper. You just hadn't see mine.

My conclusion?

I don't want to be associate with you. ANYMORE.

Google adsense

2009-04-07T21:11:00.003+08:00

Stress stress stress.

I have 2 projects, 1 group assignment and 1 individual assignment due. And I think I am slowing everyone down. Shit.

Anyway, was fiddling with google adsense few weeks ago, I thought it was fine, but then the application fell through. Said something about the site being incomplete. Hmmm. I wonder where.

Anybody to enlighten me?

I Not Stupid K!!!

2009-04-06T15:58:00.003+08:00

Don't treat me like I am stupid.

I really wanted to say that.

For goodness sake, I am no kid. It's fine to point to me the direction. But to the extend of telling me point by point?

I don't mind if you give suggestions after I did it, or if I say that I am not sure how to go about doing it. But to teach me how to do it when I didn't even mention that I dunno, you might as well take over the whole thing. Since you want it your way.

Lurking in the shadows, manipulating and secretly assertive.

Bargaining reasons replacing useful suggestions.

Just get it already. I am not listening.

PISSED

2009-04-02T20:51:00.004+08:00

I am super pissed.

The package for a spree came and the clothes were not what I ordered.

I believe it's a mistake, so I wanted to clarify.

But with my lappy, and mum's com down, I have to use my youngest brother's com. Since he is at home.

AND I have to SEE his buay song face.

WHAT THE HELL.

That's why I don't like to borrow.

What's up with his attitude.

Dun ever expect me to lend any freaking thing to you.

Luckily, my other brother, who's working, let me used his. Since he isn't using.

That's why you see me grumbling in this post.

Cuz as I type this post, I can see him like a freakin' addict on DOTA. Shaking his leg like a lousy ah beng, making all those noises with his mouse. "click click click" x 10.

BAH.

Hope that tml's meeting won't be as shitty as today.

Hectic and busy week

2009-03-29T11:20:00.005+08:00

Haven been updating. Yah I know.

I am now going to update on what went on the week BEFORE this week. This shows how much time projects took me. AND also, my laptop's down due to the adapter being spoilt. So no pics for now.

Monday:
After my es lesson, I went to NTU to meet with Joo again! Ok, not only her. Weiyen too. Amazingly, I still remember which bus stop to alight, considering I only went like twice, if u also count in the open house ;). Went to joo's hall and room. Being the super yau qwee (though it's not the hungry ghost month yet), I swept through her fridge, eating the swiss roll, a biscuit that had tons of air (aka almost spoilt) though I threw it away, and a grape champagne.

Unfortunately, we didn't have a bottle opener. So weiyen took it and tried to open it using the table top, since he claim he done it in the army b4.

"Pfft"

We heard the gas escaping. But still we couldn't wedge it out. Joo had to call for help via msn. I was then fiddling with it, when I just twist the cap, and "pop" it came out. Joo and weiyen were surprised. And we finished it real quick, such that Joo's fren (whom she ask for bottle opener) wanted some, but it's gone.

After several gossips and etc. we went to eat sushi! Considering I haven't took my infectious disease lecture on cysts YET, I happily gorge on the salmons and all. Caleb joined us and we talk much abt what guys like to talk about - relationships and girls. I mean, that's the bulk of our conversations, since that's the topic that I can remember. haha.

After that, we went to weiyen's hall for cheesecake treat! It's really super far. Oh, and do you know? The cheesecake was baked by a guy! (he was said to be a bit niang) But the cheesecake is sooooo nice!!! Haha. The guy should be glad to be praised by a cheesecake critic. Muahaha.

Went home after that. Sleep the whole way on the train. Woah. I am sooo tired.

Wednesday:
Went for the movie "Departure"! Actually, we wanted to watch "Marley and Me", but too bad, its so scarce in movie theatres that day. So we comtemplate with "Departure" instead. Many characters inside acted in dramas, so instead of going "oooh, cool" about the movie, I went "Hey! I seen him/her b4! In dramas..." So spoil the mood huh.

But it was a nice movie. Touching, in a sense that it's about a job that have stereotyping within the japanese culture, and how people actually accept it or overcome that stereotype.

Later we went to eat Rocher Beancurd. The stupid china woman chided me for taking the wrong pack of you tiao, though I said sorry. It's my bad, but hey, you should have seen her attitude. Makes me think twice to da bao from there. Oh yah, I forgot they didn't have the Singapore Star Service label. I should be like the lady in the advertisement, to look for the label before making up my mind to shop for you tiao next time.

After that, we walked to bugis while talking, and went home. Poof, another day gone.

Friday
I had no bioinfo practical, so I went to meet von after eating lunch at the pc cluster in engin. Didn't know they have so many PCs for tutorials. Darren had to go to commonwealth to get his NEC laptop repaired, and we joke that it's due to his poor habits. Haha. In the end, we went to jurong point straight, and waited for him.

Surprisingly, yuan rong joined us, and I only knew after we reach jurong pt and yz told me. That's when me and von suddenly realise that we somehow became closer to our class guys. Hmmm. Amazing things that food can do.

Yz had to draw money, and yuanrong joined him, so me and von looked around. We found Value for $, where all the stuff are amazingly cheap. We were so tempted that we almost forgot we were having dinner at Kushinbo.

There were people starting to queue for seats, and it's the first time we were eating there, so I quickly queued in case the booking we made also required us to queue. Luckily, it isn't, which in this case, I must thank von to make a booking!!! Haha. We catch glimpses of the food and I think our stomachs just can't help but growl in anticipation. But since I had a laptop, we have no choice but to wait for the guys to come.

They provided us with scissors, which we suspect was for the crabs. One end of the blade is long while the other is short. But there is no use, from my opinion. I will tell you the reason later.

The guys finally arrived, and me and von just rushed off to the sweet aroma, leaving the guys to look after our stuff. There are so many sections, like the fried food, the cooked food, sushi and sashimi, chawanmushi, teppanyaki. We tried each of them one at a time, and we started with the fried food first. The guys seem to like the seafood alot, as they came back with huge plates of crab legs and oysters.

Ok, that's where the scissors come in. The guys took an awful lot of time cutting them up, and I was feeling weird that they took so long. From my previous experiences with eating crabs, i don't really need a scissors. Haha. So I tried to break one of the legs with my bare hands, I mean fingers. The shell is surprisingly soft, and makes me feel even weirder on why the guys used the scissors. And I just crack up all the crab legs, and the guys were like "Woah! You so lihai" that kind of expression. Haha. That's where me and von intoduced the "modules" in the YQUCC. Haha.

What's YQUCC? It's the Yau Qwee Univerisity of Culinary and Critics. Von's the "dean" and I am the "Professor". For more information, pls refer to the 35/04 yau qwee gang. HAHA.

Anyway, back to Kushinbo, there is an hourly special that von mentioned, and there's a special tune. But we didn't know what's the tune like. So we waited. And when the tune came, as von said, everybody just stood up UNANIMOUSLY. Really. They just stood up in unison, and chiong for the hourly special. We couldn't get the first one, which is crayfish.

However, we managed to get the rest of them since we knew the tune and start to walk around the area. Talk about being kiasu. Ice-cream rolls, lobsters, melon ice cream. The only excitement during the buffet. Haha.

We were really stuffed at the end, and were the last to leave. As we left, we saw the fresh fish meat that they kept in the cooler, which are on sale, and started to calculate whether we ate the more than what we paid. After that, we went to NTUC 24 hrs, and start looking at curlers, plasma tvs, curlers etc. I think I just gained 2kg the next day. Haha.

These are only outings, as I have projects on tue and thur. So really, it was a hectic week. Too bad I couldn't post any pics.

Xiao Ren vs Munting Part 2

2009-03-22T22:53:00.003+08:00

Part 2. Xiao Ren Vs Munting.

Xiao Ren hides a secret of bribing Munting's beloved mentor! However, the referee mentioned it at a slip of the tongue, and Munting knows of the secret now!

But it's too late!!

Xiao Ren 2 : 1 Munting

Is it all too late now for Munting? To be Continued...

Sickening

2009-03-22T16:05:00.004+08:00

Now I can't even eat in peace.

I don't mind house viewing, since we are *AFTER ALL* selling it. It's natural to have people to view it. It would be disastrous if not.

But to the extend of not letting me eat my lunch in peace? I could give a damn to house viewing.

And not only that. The people are going EVERYWHERE. It's not guided. I wonder if our house is OPEN HOUSE. I wouldn't be surprised if something goes missing somewhere.

HACK.

2009-03-16T02:41:00.003+08:00

The mixture of feelings was gone through different exits.

Eg. Screaming at my mom for stupid things that she thought of, banging on my mouse when the com gets way too slow.

Sounds like unhealthy exit points to me. Haha.

I had been busy all through the weekend, with es and bioinfor taking alot of my time. Not to mention, I suddenly became a star recently, as all my friends started to jio me out. Right when I was busy. Haix. Must be the unhealthy influence from NCC.

And so, my next weekend is packed. Great.

Been spreeing lately. In fact, a bit too much. Saying that I should curb is no use, now with my internet banking, like von described, the money is "flowing" out.

But reflecting on my past expenditure, it looks more like a tsunami crashing out.

There goes my plasma tv. Though I still have enough for a brand new router from IT fair.

And I got pissed off at my brother because of that router. I was installing it like yesterday, and shut off the modem for a few minutes. There he goes, banging on his table, shouting and sometimes mutttering f*** and other vulgarities, coming at me like a wolf with glinted eyes, shouting "wah lau, wad the f*** are u doing" etc etc. Ungrateful hog.

And there I was, having a hard time to install it since it was a different brand, and he didn't even want to help me. All the more he should help me, since two pple are more efficient, but that lazy pig just grumble and SEE me do it. Even after installing, he went banging around in fury as he couldn't log in. I wonder how he get into computer engineering. He should be more suited for laze-at-home-and-do-nth-but-play-game-and-eat-like-a-pig module course. So much for being a nice sister and family member for everyone, when no one appreciates it.

Oh, before I forget, an announcement. Haha.

Pls submit the orders to me so that i collate and send to supplier. Yup. I dun wanna impose deadlines, but then, dun be too slow! Haha.

Hmmm, I realise I am in no position to say pple slow. Because I am slow (mun) ting

Alright, enough of these grumblings and get to bed! *Knocks myself on the head and concuss aka sleep*

depressed

2009-03-12T22:23:00.002+08:00

It's spiralling out of control.

I can't hold it up much longer.

I wanna cry out.

For now, I just want to cry and sleep.

Because I will be fine again the next day.

Just like the pleasant weather after a thunderstorm.

Nothing is solved, but at least, I don't feel like it's the end of the world.

A bolt from the blue.. er.. from me I mean

2009-03-10T21:05:00.004+08:00

A bolt from the blue!

No lah. Only my ramblings.

Yesterday, after class, I forgot I need to go to the Punggol Clinic, so I actually wasted some MRT fare to Eunos. After that, I accompany Mich to buy a converter plug, and passing by a store selling alarm clocks, I remember that I need to buy a new one. Why? Because all our alarm clocks are horrendously old that they can only run, but cannot ring. When you set the alarm to a certain time, when the time reaches, all you can hear is "crack" and the clock goes on running and running...

Thanks to my deteroriating phone, the alarm is getting softer and softer until I can miss a whole 8am cardio lecture. I only woke up when mich called me. So at the shop, I finally bought an alarm clock.

The uncle must have thought that we are sleepyheads, cuz when i suggested the classic alarm clock to test out the ring, he actually said that it might not wake us up! Thanks uncle. I didn't know that you wanted to wake us up that much in the morning. Unfortunately, the alarm clock is loud enough, so I bought it. There are two different colours, so naturally I chose the nicer one. And the uncle attempted to cheat me by putting the other colour! Well, it was unintentional, but we were watching him anyway. Haha.

I was late for the clinical hours, so I end up at mich's house. We went to look for plugs for her new styling device, and use it for a trial. We end up looking at some spree stuff also, and finally, I went to the clinic.

I ask for the cleanser and stuff, which cost 36 bucks. I was quite frantic because I thought I had enough, but it seems I was 2 bucks short (in notes). I dig into my wallet, and found that I had $1.95. The aunty was very nice, and decided to waive that 5 cents worth. Some aunties dun even do that, so I am really grateful. But then, this means I am penniless!

Have been looking at sprees to spend my extra time, and I am going to have a big hole in my pocket soon. The upcoming IT fair has suddenly became a faraway goal. Haix. What a sad life.

Breather

2009-02-25T14:46:00.000+08:00

Finally.

I have a chance to breathe.

I have been plagued with sickness. Seriously makes me wonder which kind of bug have evaded my immune system.

All the projects are making me have a headache.

I want a good rest.

And I still need to update all the entries before this entry. Due to lack of time, my entries are now in draft mode.

Why is christmas over? I wanna request more holidays from santa.

MOE teaching seminar

2009-02-03T11:26:00.002+08:00

I went for the MOE seminar some time ago.

Alot of us signed up, but in the end, only me, mich, qiyuan and jane went.

And I deleted the mail that is required for the entry of the seminar. But luckily, they used my IC to scan and I can go in after that. Whew. So much for the uneasiness of barring me from the seminar.

It ended fast, and I then went to my uncle's house. Eat and eat, while my brother talk with my cousin, and the other brother played DOTA on my another cousin's computer. It was quite boring, and it can be seen as my dad just played cards with my uncle, while I got no choice but to face the tv screen.

My dad then daringly let me drive the car home, and he gave the wrong instructions. So I end up in PIE instead of AYE. It was a long journey, and my brother said that he will find himself in the obituaries the next day the moment I start driving. Thanx for the "encourgement". (-__-)

Anyway, I was stuck in a jam due to two accidents along the expressway, and both involved motocycles. It was quite frightening, as I can see the wreck as I was in the next lane, and for the 2nd accident, I can even see the pool of blood. EEEw.

After I reached home, I find myself strained. It is no easy task driving on the expressway, cuz I need to check that I am in lane, and that the speed is within limits. I am driving slow, but my dad actually chided me for that. Reminds me of my driving instructor. Hah.

Old stuff...

2009-01-18T18:47:00.007+08:00

Found more old photos from my phone, so decided to upload them.
This is not something to be eaten! These are all magnets. I used them to build a temple kind of structure. Haha.
My Pri 1 tutee's mum is a very nice person, and treats me to alot of snacks. Well, partly, I am her good fren's niece, and also, apparently to her, I DID do my part in teaching the little girl. It seems that her son was unlucky as the 6 tuition teachers she get from the agents were not really good. They were either smsing, or asking him to do hw but not teaching him, teach him smth that he knows and blah blah. So she got fed up and after mentioning to her frens, one them my aunt, she got to know that I am teaching tuition.

Well, she is quite well-off. She have 3 tvs, one in her son's room, one 40-60 inch tv in the living room, and another in the master bedroom. And adding to the assets are many game consoles, like 3 PSP, one for her, each for her daughter and son; One PS2 and one Xbox in her son's room, One new Wii, which I tried to play after tuition, and not forgetting the PC.

But she and her husband are working, so I guess it's natural to be well-off. And she is sociable! But her daughter can be quite tough to handle at times. Luckily she improved. If not I won't know how to repay the kindness she showed me.

I am working to having a new tv in my own room. Muahaha.

A Day out.

2009-01-10T22:55:00.006+08:00

Me and von went out for some shopping for CNY clothes.

I don't usually shop for CNY clothes. Since, my mum always go with me. But then, this year, she went on her own. Without telling me. And she bought alot of her own clothes and came back, proudly showing the goods to me.

Ouch.

Thanx alot mum, for not telling me. (-_-)

We went to Anchorpoint at Queensway because von heard from her fren that there is a Charles & Keith warehouse sale, and the shoes are going at 9 or 16 bucks!!! But then I couldn't see any shoes I liked. What a pity.

There are other warehouse outlets around, like giordano. So we went to look. In the end, we just went back to Orchard emptyhanded. Haix.

Before we went back to Orchard, we decided to eat lunch at Ikea. I ordered chicken chop while von ordered meatball set. :)

Afte that we went around looking at Ikea showrooms. It was quite fun cuz both me and von are kind of comparing them with what we want our rooms to look like. Some of the show rooms are really cool, such that they make use of the small space around and yet can make a big and comfortable home. We were impressed.

We saw these at the children's section near the restaurant! Haha.

I got a new dog!

The mouse can evolved into a humanized figure! Which do you prefer?Shark versus Crab! Who will win?

After that, as I said, we return to Orchard. I managed to buy a new pair of slippers at the Wisma Charles & Keith, though the discount were not as good as the warehouse. We then went to Far East Plaza for some more shopping, before stopping by nydc@Heeren for dinner.

The kitchen and dining area were separated, a bit like the Ding Tai Fung at Wisma. We shared a beef steak with some drinks.

The beef steak!

That concludes our long day, with no CNY clothes bought. =(

Miscellaneous stuff.

2009-01-08T11:17:00.005+08:00

The bidding results are out! And how I hate bidding each sem. It just gives me never-ending migraines. I hope my choice would not be too bad. Especially the infectious disease module. I won't want to get infected with faint-when-studying-infectious-module-because-too-much-information disease.

I got a new watch! Haha. It's from a family friend, who originally lived in HK, and often buy souvenirs for us. I don't buy watches, since I don't really like to wear them, but since they give, might as well make use of it. Hee.

On tuesday, my ez link card was almost void of money and I went to top up my card at the transitlink counter at Bedok Interchange. The auntie who helped me top up double-check the ez link card, and even asked me if I am really an NUS student! She say i look like sec student. Wah.

Found some previous photos that I didn't upload. So here goes.

Duck's surprise! For her 21st birthday :)

What the birthday girl gave us for her birthday..

Starbucks free coffee! I happen to be outside. Thanx yuan for the tip! Look at the long queue behind.

The vanilla latte that I ordered. Not forgetting to mention that I actually donate 2 bucks to the salvation army to get my drink.A salad I did myself. Looks disgusting rite. Haha. It's bananas and grapes with sugar and hot choc. Hohoho.

I have still some more pics, but i guess that will be another post.

Bidding woes again

2009-01-06T00:11:00.002+08:00

Every year, this time. Is always a difficult time.

And now, I am facing a dreadful conclusion to my possible last semester in NUS.

The bidding had started. And one round has ended.

Signaling the beginning of the end.

And it is no smooth ride.

Cuz I couldn't get a core mod. For the first time in my life.

After some frantic search and discussion, there seem to be hope.

And this hope better be turned into a reality, to save us.

More late updates

2009-01-03T21:00:00.008+08:00

2 overdue updates.

1st: Gym workout and Kbox with NUS pals.

Well, after the exam-end outing, the girls decided to come my house for some exercise. However, to my surprise, outsiders are not allowed. Even so, we managed to get inside after a warning. Besides, there is nobody around except for a pregnant lady, who went out soon after.

The gym!

Kbox was the one in Chinatown. It just cost 10 bucks from 2-7pm, but you must have a safra card to enjoy the discount.

Haix. I look fat.

Oops! That's me choosing my old songs to sing.

Let's high together!

The shark's fin with the package.

After that we met up with da jie, who joined us for dinner and dessert.

Dinner at a supposedly-famous restaurant

We chance upon the christmas deco around, and took a pic with it.

My skirt got wet from the wet puddles on the floor in this photo. Luckily, it dried pretty fast and there isn't a stain.
We later went to the dessert house, recommended on tv. Really alot of pple. But we still manage to find seats for 6 pple.

Durian flavour ice.

Green tea flavour plus red beans.

Mango and sesame.

Oooh... we are full and the bowls are licked clean. Haha.

2nd: NCC 21st birthday!

Surprisingly, the only girls that were present are me and von. NCC was like a superstar, and everyone wanted to take a picture with him. Haha :) We went to Swensons to eat, where I ordered a burger.

The burger set! Very very filling!

Happy 21st!

With the star of the day!

35/04 class guys...The complementary ice-cream from swensons for the birthday boy :)
At citylink mall after the meal.

Later, we even went for overnight Kbox at Top one at Bugis. I couldn't tahan and sleep for like 2 hrs before waking up and sing again.

Huge christmas tree!

Kimheng cannot reach the high note! Keep asking us to tune down the key of the song.

Scandal #1! Who's the mysterious person so close to NCC, the star?

Identity revealed! It's chinseng!

Haha. I sound like paparazzi.

We later have mac before going home.

2009

2009-01-01T15:50:00.002+08:00

Happy New Year!

But not a happy one for me that is.

Cuz I came down with flu and fever. Due to bathing in the morning under cold water.

My father was the culprit. My brother the root of the case.

After my brother have back his computer after the exams, computer became everything. Yes, even bathing is secondary. Hence, when he want to bathe, he will on the heater, then go back to his com to play. For at least 2-3hrs, the electricity is wasted. Electricity is used to heat up the water tank, and my father was furious cuz the electricity bill almost came to 500 bucks due to the excessive time lost between switching on and bathing by my brother.

He off the main heater switch in the kitchen. It is directly linked to the shared toilet, while the master bedroom toilet is not linked. He has hot water, while we have to bathe under cold water.

Don't say I didn't protest, cuz I did. He ask us to try to go down to the clubhouse toilet to bathe, since we paid money for it.

HUH??!!!!

And, so , if I want hot water, I need to go on the switch, and after that, off it. Makes me wonder if it really can save electricity.

Hence the flu. Even Junwei's flight I probably can't go now. Cuz I dunno if it will get worse.

My mum, worried, ask me to drink some health supplement and get some rest.

But by bathing in the morning, I hope that the suayness will be washed off. That's the least I wish to have amidst the flu and fever I have.

Christmas Eve Blues

2008-12-28T15:29:00.002+08:00

Christmas Eve Blues.

What else? The Results.

Utterly horrible.

I feel so disgusted with myself.

I don't want to take level 2 breadth modules anymore.

So much for christmas. The mood for it totally spoilt like a rotten cake full of spory mould.

AND don't come to me and say "Still have next sem!" or "Jiayou".

Cuz I alr know that I have to do that.

First post in Dec after exams

2008-12-19T14:27:00.008+08:00

Finally an update. Haha.

1st: Meiqi's 21st.

It happened! On 8th Nov. I almost didn't get the invitation cuz meiqi sent to the wrong mail. Haha.

The cam whoring trio. Haha.

Me with the birthday girl!! Bling bling ~
A yau-qwee caught red-handed.
DHL companions!
TJ 35/04!

Our famous pose!

2nd: Project handup.

Finally, the NM project is coming to an end. I somehow managed to find an A4 envelope and we squeezed all our reports into it. As Mich and Jane went to print the report, we were quite bored. No, yuan yuan was bored. Haha. So she decided to draw a postage stamp on it.

pAVE exclusive stamp!

The project envelope!

3rd: After exams! Finally. We went to have lunch at Jack's place. The student meal is cheap! Haha.

The student meals start at 2pm, and we had some time, so we loiter around Heeren, looking at the newly opened levels and shops.

We venture up to a top floor, where we saw these weird dolls. They have horoscopes! So we decided to take photos with our own monster mascot. Haha.

The Pisces and Tauras.

The Sagittarius and Scorpio.
The Leos.

Finally, we sat down on the first floor, and looking up at the christmas deco. Looks so much like Hari Raya-reused theme rather than christmas. Eeks.

At last, 2pm reached and we went to Jack's place for lunch. So hungry.

After that we went to look around and found a christmas tree made of bears.

The end.

First post in Nov. Taiwan Recap #2

2008-11-13T23:47:00.027+08:00

So bored. So I decided to entertain people with series of photos from my taiwan trip day 2.

We went to the theme park in Hsinchu, called leofoo village. First, we have to take the metro to a jing an station and take a coach bus.

I just woke up! Don't take my picture!

Many scooters in the early morning rush. You can never see this in Singapore.The coach bus-stop.

We reached the theme park and realize it has 4 sections. It's very huge. But the attractions are so so lah. First, we went to the wild wild west section.

Posing with an red indian couple.

Oh come on! Don't be shy to stand with your girlfriend!

Haha. The raccon is shorter than von.

Zhenghao is being kicked for being in the way. I am strong enough to stop the tiger's punch! Muahaha.Our strongest pose! The condor ride. Quite exciting.

I can't bear to see you do a stupid act. Caught in action!

Inverter ride. Not bad.

If you notice, this mini waterfall is in Jacky Wu's zhou ri ba dian dang. Where kang kang, jiu kong and ah di were competing to see who dare to jump down in the shortest time. This is in another section which I forgot the name. Haha.

Hoho. An attractive man.

A similarly attractive old lady for Zhenghao.

Return me that fan!

Heya! Welcome to Taiwan's own Jurassic park.

A terrorist wants to bomb the bridge!

Our own castle! Haha. A simulation room.

Matching outfits at the restaurant.

But... zhenghao's curry noodles doesn't really taste too good..

Underground ride.

Von's cool photography skills.

My not-so-good skills.

Hohoho. The merry-go-round.

Warning sign.

The theme park's mascot and gary's distant relative.

We finally make our way to the last section, which is animal land. Practically a zoo. But we still can cam whore. Haha.

A lost flamingo is in front of our camera ;)Von's new pet! Haha.Zhenghao trying to steal smooch.

A big tortoise large enough to carry von.

Zoo tram! Yes, there is a tram.The mascot sign agrees with von that zhenghao has a big head. Haha.

Sorry Von! I couldn't stop the crocodile from biting you.Go crocodile! I am the next Jane Goodall. The gorillas are under my command.The End!

We managed to finish the theme park by the afternoon. So we start to journey to Miramar for some shopping before going to the Shilin night market at night. Yes, the miramar is where the Huan Huan ai drama used as a company.

The building next to miramar.

Miramar. Didn't get to sit the ferris wheel though.

Gundam fair at miramar!

I bought alot of clothes and von bought a nike hat. Soon, we make our way to Shilin night market.

Taiwan sausage!

Smelly Toufu! It taste ok leh.

Oyster omelette!! Very NICE!!

Caught with a big fried chicken chop that only cost around SGD2.30.
After that we continue to shop at Shilin for more clothes, and went back to the hotel to rest. So tiring ah!

End of 2nd day. Wait for the next entry on it!

Halloween!

2008-10-31T22:55:00.013+08:00

Happy Halloween!!

Look at the long queues...

The Souvenir Shop transformed!!

Wah! So many pumpkins. Scary wor. Haha.

It's Halloween time again! The previous saturday was an outing for me, von and yz. We went to the night safari hoping to get the cocktail buffet, but to our dismay, it has to be pre-booked.

It's so sad not to get on the cocktail express!

So we have to make do with taking photos around the booth. Haha.

We walked a forest trail and the surroundings are littered with 'dead bodies' and skeletons. Not missing out those actors who loiter around to scare you. I pity them, cuz it's quite humid.

The Jack'o lantern was the first victim of our deadly cam spree.

Subsequently, others fall prey.

The clowns who envy von's horns and craving for yuzhi's life. Haha

There's no sun, dear lady vampire. But the umbrella is big.
Care for some dimsum?The popular lolith gal. She is super real. And cooperative. Haha.

Due to the long queues at the tram station, we decided to walk the forest trails.

I wanna take the tram!

Yuzhi is into raw exotic food. His new dish is lao lao's tongue. Haha

Hey the mummy! We love your movies.
Poor Army Boy. Haha.
At crossroads! The skeleton 'threatens' us to go to the bridge of hell.

The Bridge to hell... where we meet the...

... the chinese 僵尸. He is scared of the camera. Haha.
One mannequin died.
He left his hand on the lamp post. Eerie.
He built the bridge. I guess he is too tired.
The other mannequins want von's leg! Luckily, Yuzhi pull her back.

We finally got to ride the tram. The MC used an eerie voice to introduce the animals. After that, we venture into the halloween area where different ghouls greet us. Got chinese female ghosts and mad choppers, mummies. Quite fun.

At the end of the tram ride, we caught two more 'prey'.

The butcher who want to atone for his sins.

The poison Ivy!

The witch's house. Hohoho.

Our last prey.

Von! The coffin doesn't fit you. Haha.

Now, I am also busy for NM2219 project, and bought a maracoon on the way home. There was a coldstone creamery lookalike and sellalike at citylink mall, and I really wanted to try it out. But no chance. Haix.

Went out to try to catch a movie. But end up helping mich to look for present, since the 20th century boys are also not in cinemas anymore.. :(

I tried out the chicken porridge since I wasn't really hungry, and it tasted not bad! Well, I almost forgot that I just did a food bacteria assay in lab, and the thought that bacteria is inside my food was unheard of until Jane reminded me.

This porridge cost $3.80. Haix. Inflation woes.

The end.

Sick ah.

2008-10-25T12:50:00.004+08:00

A hellish week is over.

But hell for me is not.

I have unfortunately, caught a flu bug, and have had fever for the past 2 days. Every time I took panadol, it will subside. But it will rise again. Even this morning. The bug just never know when to say die. Like an energiser battery. Damn.

Now I am being tortured by coughing and phlegm, which is yucky.

Now, to something else.

Sometimes, there just have to be people who are out there to irritate you. For this girl, it's not only me. It's a whole bench. No kidding. This girl just loves to boss people around. She is ummm... Should we say, not confident of others? The tutor had already said that it was supposed to be done this way, and she was insistent that it was not so. And she just have to have things done her own way, yet, if we let her do so, she is afraid of doing it alone. And it so happens that the day at immuno lab was the day where I was really, well, sick. I was SUPER irritated at her, and I told my lab partner, Eunice, about it. And what she told me was worse than what I experienced.

Apparently, during pharmaco lab, she was in the same bence as Eunice, and she caused a huge argument with the rest of the people in the same bench. Ends up, they were the last to leave the lab. Luckily, it's not an weekly lab. I don't have to see her face and hear her domineering voices that much.

I saw teng boon yesterday, and he happen to be on the phone. The phone was a really nice flip phone, and I suspect that it was from Japan. So I asked him, and yes, it was from Japan. Docomo do not sell phones to foreigners, so I asked him whether local networks can be used. Turns out, he got his phone from Akihabara's shop and other networks can be used. Man, I was so envious of it! Hmmm, I should ask him whic shop he bought it from. Maybe I can ask someone to help me buy. Muahaha.

Finally I have days of rest, though I still need a film for an individual paper for that damn JS mod. Yucks. I hope that my NM and JS do not need to SU. My CA2 seems to be done horribly badly. Haix. But it's over, so yah. That's it.

Suay-ness with a little bit of luck

2008-10-18T14:20:00.004+08:00

Recently, suayness really falls on me in droves.

First: ???

Attack!!

Crash!

Repair...

2nd attack!!

CRASH!

Repair again...

That's now the exact state of my computer recently. No more photos to upload to my entries. Makes me seriously consider switching to a macbook. Damn

Second: Phone!!!

I lost my phone, precisely at 2am in the morning at arts canteen.

Why 2am? Due an irritating module call JS2216 which kept all the members till wee hours of morning, trying to get the freakin' slides and scripts done.

Even though I recalled checking whether anything had been left behind, apparently, I still lost my phone.

We took Samantha's dad's car to NUH, where we took taxi to Norman's house (cheaper) and Norman drove me and mich back home. So it can be in any of their cars.

It's not like I can't live without a phone, but just that I am uncontactable lor.

How about some luck?

Me and yuan were about to go home, and I called home using yuan's phone to inform that my medicine ran out, and I need to go see the doctor again. Just then, my dad told me that the arts canteen drink store uncle got my phone. Immediately rushed down and asked for it. The uncle was not in, but his assistant was. He wanted to make sure it's mine, and ask me what's my own number. Haha.

One auntie then told me that the drink store is the unofficial "lost and found" for arts canteen. One person even lost a bag with passport in it.
(o_O)

That's the only lucky moment for me for this suayness-filled days. Of course my suayness is not limited to those two events. There are lots that I just don't feel like remembering.

Another hell awaits me next week.

Don't be surprised to see my corpse walking around in school.

F1 Race

2008-10-02T23:00:00.005+08:00

F1 race!

Day 1: Longest day

Me, yuan and mich met up before going to the meeting point to collect our mercedes-benz flags, caps and ponchos @ 3pm. We actually get to rest till 4pm where we start work, so me, duck, shima and maggie sat down at the sculpture plaza near millenia and centennial tower. Maggie got a cool iphone! Haha. As we were talking, I noticed that one angmoh took a picture of maggie's hat. He smiled at me, and quickly slipped away. Haha.

Many people came asking me where is the gates and all, so it was quite a busy day as well. Many people asked why do I have to carry the flag. Advertisement duh. Haha. Some even asked me to give them the flag. If I do, I incur a 300 bucks fine. Think again.

I didn't catch any celebrities on that day, although Maggie spotted 小S and her husband and a korean actor, while yuan spotted the flying dutchman (the guy who host "Who wants to be a millionaire" Singapore version).

I was very tired on the first day, and somehow fell asleep while standing up. For a while though. Haha. I heard from maggie and yixian that Camy was there, wearing a maxim dress and carrying a LV bag. I was like "huh? Really? When? Where?"

I seriously need to be observant next time.

Day 2: Not-so-bad.

As I didn't catch any celebrities the previous day, I decided to keep my eyes peeled, though I took enough care not to look like Mrs Lam's popping eyes. And finally, I saw the flying dutchman walked past me, with 3 other people.

Wow. He looks paler than on TV.

One guy actually came and ask me, "Hey, is it ok if I knock you out and take the flag?" I was like, " Huh, no." Weird things people say. Just ask for it properly. But I won't give it to you anyway. Haha.

Massa got the pole position, with Hamilton 2nd. Maggie said that the taxi drivers were asking her to go home as hamilton will lose. Bah. Damn taxi drivers.

Day 3: RACE day.

As usual, keeping my eyes peeled for more celebrities. More people asking for flags. One guy was tugging another guy's shirt, looking at him and pointing to the pole. My goodness. Full grown adult males doing that. Makes my hair stand a bit.

I saw Yang li bing (Li Nanxing's ex-wife) with her sister (I think). Her sister is quite ummm... coarse. I think she was an actress, as she looked familiar. On the way back, they were discussing the race when suddenly, she just raise her head and shout in the air. "F*** man!"

Wow. Talk about destroying image.

I saw Christopher Lee with another girl! As usual, his dress sense wasn't that good. He wore a neon yellow hat and a neon yellow vest-like coat. Looks like one of the security personnel than a spectator.

We had some time till 9pm for work, so we gathered around the TV at Paulaner Brauhaus to watch the race. From the time we watched (around Lap 5) to the time we go (Lap 30), there was so much drama going on. It totally changed my point of view that F1 is boring. Well, because during the Michael Shummacher era, it was always him, and there was not much happening in the race. All of us actually wanted to continue watching. But we can't. Awwww~

I asked my mum to continuously update me on the race. Soon afterwards, many Ferrari supporters came streaming out. Later then I realised that Ferrari was quite cham. Duck's aunt also treat us chocolate!

Hamilton won 3rd. Yeah!! Since I worked for mercedes. Haha.

Updates 2

2008-09-22T22:02:00.014+08:00

A series of updates again. Haven't have much time, so here goes.

The forgotten IT show update.

Bought 2 mouse on the request of my 2 brothers. And they didn't even pay a single cent for it. Cuz the money came out from my mum's pocket.

Also wore my boots for the first time in Singapore ever since taiwan trip. Haha.

Went to watch Hana yori Dango Final with von. Of course, we met up first, having lunch at Vivo at Hong Kong Kim Gary!

Utensils... in a plastic container... First time to see it...

We got a seaside view! Nice.Ice lemon tea in a Jar?! Plus coffee for von.

I spotted my idol! In a poster actually. And thus, decided to take a picture with him. How nice if it's in real person. Haha.

My tutee is so cute! She drew a picture of me playing the piano right after tuition on tuesday. Haha.

And I am mad on friday just before the recess week, to visit NTU. Actually, I intended to meet Joo for shopping. But she had project in the end. Argh. Anyway, I decided to tour around my enemy-school, well, since I was really bored. Haha.

At the hall.

On ADM's rooftop garden!
The odd one on the right.

The often oh-so-cliche scene in dramas. Mirror Mirror on ADM's wall~~

Briefing for F1 work on Saturday! Went shopping in Suntec, and found this.

You get a chance to play it after spending at least 30 bucks in a receipt. Which is sooooooo not worth it. Haha. It's automatic. You just have to put the car on, and zooom! It rushes off by itself. Sian sia.

Not forgetting the moon cake pig from kim heng's mum! I really ate it on Moon cake festival! HAHA.

Taiwan recap #1

2008-09-18T21:38:00.007+08:00

Taiwan Recap #1

Day 1
Flight day! I went to do check-in on my own as my dad had an appointment. Got a window seat! 46K. Haha. After that I went to the T3 coffee bean and ordered a huge vanilla latte for myself.

It was in the afternoon, and there aren't many people in T3, so it was quite peaceful, except for the occasional shuffling and noises from kindergarten kids who were having a... school trip at the airport new terminal. Haha.

My parents came later, and decided to try out coffee bean stuff. I was kinda surprised since they usually 排斥 expensive coffee houses and their stuff, claiming there are overpriced for a cup of kopi. And they kinda regret it, because they were shocked that a chicken pie cost like 3-4 bucks. They now claim that its a luxury instead of wasting money. Haha.

My plane was SQ, while von and zh sat Jetstar. I arrived to taiwan kind of early, and have to figure out the way to CKK Terminal 1 (I landed at Terminal 2). Before that, I was "detained" at the infectious disease centre at the airport after I landed because my temperature was too high. It got higher by 0.1 degrees (37.9 to 38.0) and I have to lose some blood for testing, plus fill in dozens of forms.

The customs officer was quite buai song with us (she got a buai song face). Maybe she is tired or whatsoever. I tried to smile and thank her anyway, for letting me into the country. After some series of windings, I manage to reach Terminal 1, and waited for von and zh. Some uncle came to ask me whether I wanna take taxi, but I say no. He seem like a 色伯伯(se be be) to me. Anyway, we are not taking taxi. Super expensive. Haha. NEVER take a taxi from airport to taipei.

We took Freego bus to town. There are many tour buses there, and they are cheap. So it will be good if you can take them. Now, if you are going taipei, and your hotel is near the Taipei main station, it's better to take 国光客运 (Kuo Kuang) and stop at its bus terminal near the Taipei main station. It's fast and frequency is high. Freego is mainly to 西门町(XiMenDing) and goes to hotel by hotel. But to bigger hotels only. Now, you are wondering why I said all those crap above. Those crap are what I experienced. Freego is SLOW in frequency. At least 2-3 kuo kuang buses left and we were still stuck there. Not only that. Because the main bus goes to XMD, we have to carry out luggage and LEAVE the main bus, and enter a SMALL bus which goes to Taipei main station area. YUCKS.

Upon reaching, checking in and stuff, we left for XMD late shopping. Haha.

XMD!

This is a mascot for Mister Donut... Cute!

Zh like it so much that he is willing to buy donuts to gather points for the mascot keychain. And we are kinda forced to help him. Haha. Ok lah, the donuts are not bad. :)

This shop is quite famous for its mee sua. It was quite good. Haha.

Caramel coated apple from Sohpisca Sweet shop! DELICIOUS.

A shop where it has a toilet theme. We wanted to go but didn't have the time. And it was too late that day. Oh~ too bad...

Watson shop! Their Watson's shops are soooo much better than ours.

We went to a cafe which was still open after midnight, and decided to order some food. Zh was quite brainless to ask the waiter which bubble tea is famous there. It's the 珍珠奶茶, DUH. He ordered this BIG BIG pudding bubble tea.

You can see more clearly here. How BIG is it. And to add on, it doesn't taste nice.

For me, as usual. Cheesecake. Haha.

Room shot. And me lazing on the bed. Haha.

And so ends the tiring first day of Tw. Haha.

次の日の写真と楽しい時間を楽しみでね!
Look forward to the photos and wonderful adventures for the next day of tw trip!

Oh man. This sounds so cliche. Haha.

Nth much

2008-09-16T14:51:00.000+08:00

I hate tutorials.

A flurry of updates

2008-09-16T13:51:00.006+08:00

Flurry of updates.

Night Riding!

I went for night riding for the first time in my life at NUS. Haha.

I got a new tuition kid! A p1 girl. Her mum was a friend of my aunt, and just when I wanted another tuition kid, pop! she came in. Haha.

Her mum is so nice that she offer me sushi and breakfast one day when I went over for tuition.

Esmond and chinseng happen to have their birthday party at the same date, so since I replied esmond first, I decided to go for his first. I couldn't wait for the cake as I was late for chin's party, so I just left after the photo.

I got locked out at the back gate of aloha loyang, and have to make a detour, and manage to reach chin's rented bungalow. Since the cake was cut already, I readily help myself to it. Self service all the way. Haha.

I was discovered by chin for self servicing on his cake!

Later, frankie sent me, yz, darren and ncc home. So nice. Haha.

I went to John Little sale at Expo! After constant naggings by my mum to go, which I did (and brought her along for payment), I bought shoes, belt and shorts. And she bought clothes for my brothers and new bedsheets. And initially what we thought were 300+ bucks shoot up to 600 bucks when we went to pay. My jaws really dropped, and my mum was stunned. But then, she paid anyway. Muahaha.

Next I went to Kim's party! It was at Pasir Ris park. WEll, all the food is vegetarian, but it's not bad! Me and von intended to leave at night, but end up staying overnight playing J-snap and mahjong. haha. After that we went to play with sparkles. And we went to eat Macdonald breakfast in the morning! Haha.

More photos of rag.

And an idiotic me taking a picture of Clostridium during my MicroB lab. It just looks too fluffy. Haha.

Taiwan next. Really. Haha.

Movie!

2008-08-25T23:21:00.005+08:00

Movie! Yeah.

I went out today with jia and yuan to watch kindaichi!

We first ate at Pastamania at cine. By the way, we got the tickets at student price of 6 bucks! Woohoo. I should try to like cine more. Haha.

For me, it was a first time at Pastamania. I haven't been to pastamania for 21 years of my life because I heard that it was not good. From many many people. Somehow, it influenced my conception that "Pastamania sucks!"

So, the sua ku me went to Pastamania today.

Jia with her clams and mussels spag :)

Yuan with her banana dessert pizza!

And lastly, me with my baked rice.

Still have enough stomach room for a strawberry bavarase.

It was so-so lah. Even the dessert wasn't very amazing or delicious, but still ok lor.

We went to Heeren, which was quite like a ghost mall, with so few pple patrolling the area. I went to HMV to search for the Arashi new album, but only the normal edition is available. Oh man. Just when Aznmedia is siao, and I couldn't download the album. Guess I have to wait.

We then came back to cine for kindaichi. Well, spoiling you for a bit.

We were quite disappointed that the kindaichi inside the movie was the grandfather of the young kindaichi, instead of the young detective that we all know. Haix. So much for anticipation. There was not really suspense, but there were many mysteries though. And also, the director was the late Ichikawa Kon, which was one of the directors I need to know for my Jap studies mod.

The movie seems like it was old, but I doubt so. Reason is that　深田恭子 was inside, and she is definitely not someone from the past cuz she was born in 1982 and she looks like she is 20 plus in the movie! Haha.

You might be a tad disappointed if you are a hard-core kindaichi fan, but if you are open to any mystery movie, I guess it's still ok. Since the ticket is 6 bucks. Haha.

Tcc cake and drink on last tuesday with von! (after that boring makioka sisters movie).

I should probably update on my tw trip next. Haha.

Events events

2008-08-19T11:36:00.004+08:00

Recently, I had been going out more often. Muahaha.

I had gone out with Von on sat. Lunch was again at Hip dinner USA at Parco. The service was not bad, except that the premises was a bit small.

My lunch!

Von's lunch...
My coffee chip milkshake.

We wanted to go to Haji lane and Arab street, but unfortunately, Von got sick, and had to cab home.

Oh, by the way, I bought an ipod! WOOHOO. Haha.

iPod in casing!

Earphones +USB+instructions

And recently too, due to imbalance in hormones (probably, but maybe it's just me), I got pissed at certain events.

Example 1:
Stupid itunes synchronising with my ipod is hell. I have to add each and every song into playlists, then synchronised it so that it would be in the ipod, instead of the conventional way of treating it like a hard disk, and adding any songs as and when you like it. TROUBLESOME.

Example 2:
I had just bought my ipod for a day, when someone told me that a present for a friend will be the exact same ipod with that exact same storage. Just when I was having trouble with itunes. And the fee is not cheap.

Example 3:
The freakin' Blogspot is denying me some uploading of photos, and I do not know what's wrong. Thanks to it, I have to upload to photobucket and link it from there. I can't even get a blog entry down properly and nicely. I am SO frustrated. BAH.

Example 4:
I went for movie screening with mich just yesterday, and to our dismay, the dvd was left as one of the 2 vcds are spoilt while the other was borrowed just 10 mins ago. The dvd has no subtitles, and the person who happen to borrow the remaining vcd was a gd fren of the oh-so-famous XXXX1, and that person didn't even say hi to us. Plus that person borrowed the only cd left, i feel a sudden surge of irritation. And my grumblings spread to the stupid lecturer, who despite knowing that she had 126 students, only made 3 copies of the stupid movie, and one of them has no subtitles. Seriously, she has no common sense. And so, I have to go all the way to National library at bugis to find that movie on my free day, which is TODAY.

And I must apologise to my junior for listening to my grumblings all the way from buona vista to bedok. Really sorry.

Bad things always come in a bunch. No wonder there's friday the 13th. And it's not even a friday for me. Hmmph.

The Dark Knight

2008-08-12T20:59:00.003+08:00

Yesterday. Finally. I get to watched the movie 'The Dark Knight'. And it was full house, which I consider amazing since Dark knight has been in cinemas for few weeks already.

Before that, I met von from school and we went for lunch at Hip Dinner USA by Billy bombers. I am glad that we went there to eat, because I was really hungry. Haha :)

The choc'Banana Milkshake :)

The Mixed Grill which I ordered! Looks a bit like like the breakfast set from TJ. Haha.

What von ordered. Fish and steak. Ooooh, delicious.

I bought clothes again! Oh no. More money spent. :(

Rag and Scamp outing

2008-08-12T18:45:00.003+08:00

Ok, since the taiwan trip would be a REALLY long post, I shall skip it for now.

For now, Scamp outing and Rag.

Scamp outing was, well, more of seeing each other again and talk crap. Haha. I had work in the morning, and it ended earlier than expected, hence, I reached plaza sing really early. Surprise? For I was finally early for an outing. Though it's not something to be proud of. Oops.

Anyway, I went to look around, shop at Daiso for some stuff as well as looking at cakes for Jia. Since we had an outing and jia didn't had a birthday party, we decided to use the outing to help her celebrate.

We went to Cartel for dinner. I ate the Hawaiian Pork Chop this time.

After that we went for dessert, which is beancurd! Haha.

Rag was on the friday of the last week of hols. Jia asked me to go. I wasn't really keen on the idea at first, since I was tired from work, but said yes because jane and mich were going. It ends up that jane didn't come, and mich was late.

Nothing special on rag, except that Pharmacy upgraded their float, and they even bagged two wins. As usual, Biz won the chancellor's shield, all thanks to the flag day. Science somehow won the best float design, which kind of surprises me since it was not really spectacular or anything. I still prefer the float last year.

The aftermath of Rag: Rubbish everywhere.

So much like Singaporeans. Haix.

School is starting soon, and I don't have the mood! Oh man, I want more time to slack. Haha.
