Touched...

2010-07-25T02:45:00.001+08:00

As i scanned through the news in fb, happened to see Amelia and Weihao's proposal video..
I was very touched.. and i even teared... How i wish i could have a chance to be like them... All their first times... their story will continue.. I remembered mine too... but my story will never have a chance to go on....

2010-07-08T23:28:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile.. Wasn't in the mood to blog ever since I joined the Airforce.. Kinda restricted as to what I can post..
Been under extreme stress this period of time and losing my sleep every night. Thinking about work, family, and the love of my life. Truely understand the feeling of helplessness and heartache. I juz hope everything will be over soon...

You will always be in my heart..

Happy Birthday Mummy!!!!!

Effective?

2010-02-26T00:54:00.000+08:00

Not too long ago, i attended this course at Civil Service College - Facilitating WITS Effectively. WITS stands for Work Improvement TeamS. I was taught how to make use of certain tools and techniques to facilitate projects, meetings, as well as problem solving. We were made to participate in the activities for experiential learning. Turns out really well for a person who tends to sleep in class like me... I managed to survive through 2 full days without sleeping in class, even though i was damn tired from the lack of sleep the night before. :)

Back to the techniques. Not sure if others have heard of these.. "Affinity Diagram", "Gantt Chart", "Effective use of Pareto Diagrams for analysis", "Relations Diagram", "Tree Diagram", "Arrow Diagram", "PDPC Chart", etc. These are very good and simple tools for planning and solving problems systematically and effectively. "Relations Diagram", my personal favourite. A relations Diagram is a Diagram where the problem and the factors are shown in short and concise words, and arranged so that all factors are linked in relation to each other and subsequently to the problem. Through this diagram, the root causes to the problem can be picked out and dealt with individually. Maybe i should try this... Never know, might help to solve my probs. :p (Problem statement: Strained Relationship) Will blog about this if succeed. Haha.

This sets me thinking as well. What do I want in life? Do I really enjoy my work? What do I want to achieve? What are my goals? From Primary sch to Secondary sch to Junior College to University to Working life... It's smooth-sailing for me... So much so that I haven't been thinking what I really want to do and achieve in life. I feel that I'm not exposed enough to know my options. I'm like a frog in a well. Sad... I desperately need to find meaning in my life...

Side Note:
Hmmm.... something I've learnt in the class... Kinda liked it alot.. :p

"If you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME"

Hahahahahahaha SSSOOooooo TRUE!

那就這樣吧 - 動力火車

Fond memories.... One of my all-time-favourites in my sec sch days...

不要哭了嗎　該哭的人是我吧
你都坦白愛上了他　我有什麼辦法
我也同意啦　既然妳提出想法
我們不要拖拖拉拉　就從明天開始吧

那就這樣吧　再愛都曲終人散啦
那就分手吧　再愛都無須掙扎
不要再問我　怎捨得拱手讓他
你走吧　到了記得要給我通電話

那就這樣吧　再愛都要 SAYONARA
再給抱一下　聞一聞你的長髮
不要再哭啦　快把眼淚擦一擦
這樣吧　再愛我有緣的話

快去把東西收拾一下
再耗下去都天亮啦
這裡的鑰匙你先留著吧　怕你有東西
假如你有東西忘了拿

无奈失望伤心痛苦不舍
又有什么用
那就这样吧
恋爱本该如此洒脱

My First Home-Made KaYA!

2009-05-02T18:10:00.007+08:00

Labour Day, supposedly a day to relax and take a break from work. Well, suddenly had this crazy idea to make my own kaya... And here it is, my very first master piece. :p

The making of KAYA:

Pandan leaves

250ml of Coconut

10 Large eggs

500g of Sugar

Sieve after mixing all together

Steam bath and stir for 2 hours

The Final Product

Can you smell it? Delicious!

You can make your own Kaya too.. :P

Inspiring!

Participated in the SubUrban Run @ Punggol on 15th March. My first ever paid run.. Hahah..
Well, not a very long distance. 10km. But certainly a significant one for a non-marathon runner like me. :p
Had blisters and abrasions after the run... Juz have to take some preventive measures for my next challenge. Yup! My next challenge... I've signed up for the 15km PassionRun this coming May. And next will be Army Half Marathon in Aug for a good 21km. My ultimate goal is to take part in the 42km Standard Chartered Marathon this Dec.. Wish me good luck!!

-2 Months 16 Days to Commissioning-

WakeBoarding~

2009-03-12T22:56:00.007+08:00

For those who are interested in where and what i'm doing now.. Well... I'm having attachment at Chong Pang Camp currently. Been to Tengah Airbase, Murai Camp, and Paya Lebar Airbase for attachment for the past 2 months. Next stop will be Sembawang Airbase.
Life's been hectic with all the courses and projects ongoing. But i've been enjoying myself ever since I had signed on that piece of paper. Tough but satisfying. I've heard seniors saying that this training period is the most enjoyable but will also be the last before work really starts in the base. Exciting but worried as well, hopefully this job is what i wanted. Shall see....
Counting down: 3 months 8 days to Commissioning. :P

Amid my busy schedule, I'd not failed to put aside time for some exciting action and fun! Went with some of my coursemates in AFS to Punggol Marina for wakeboarding. My first time. Yes!!!! It's my first ever wakeboarding in my life... I've always wanted to try this exciting sport but didn't have the company and time till now. Haha.. At last! It's definitely an ESCAPADE!!
Hopefully i didn't sound too exaggerated. :) Nevertheless, it's been a great experience... I'm certainly going for a next round soon...

15th ALOC + BMT mates

On the speed boat.. Off we go!!!

Oops! 2 vain gals cam-whoring... :p

Alright, here comes the expert... Lawrence... Friend's friend's friend. haha... In short, he's my new friend now. An experienced wakeboarder who slept for almost half the session in the boat.... Too tired i supposed.. hahahah!!!
Oh... Not to forget. I took all these photos!! (except for those with ME wakeboarding lah..) Isn't it a great shot? I loved the effect of the splash! :p

Here comes Raymond... He's surprisingly not too bad.. Haha... One of the better wakeboarders in our boat.

Why So Serious~?

Haha... Don't act cool lah Wee Seng aka Chee Seng.. You're good too! :)

Sheena~

She's got that "sey" sia....

Ted Kennedy Endorses Barack Obama

2008-04-24T15:44:00.004+08:00

Watch it in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Eawu8pQxRI

Listen to this excellent speech by Senator Edward Kennedy.
See how he so skilfully endorses Obama yet keep the friendship of Hilary Clinton as well.
Through his speech he "removes" from the minds of American voters, the objections that Clinton raised about Obama as President.
Be engrossed in his amazing endorsement as a referee for Barack Obama!

(Not very nice. Don't waste money!)

Rating: 4/5 *

Not bad after all... The new fast food restaurants are located juz beside LT1A. Food court will soon be opening at level 2 above the fast food restaurants. The current Canteen A will be used for extension of LWN library. The new building is well-lighted with blue glass panels/windows and gives a refreshing look compared to the old grey buildings. Best for students to chill between classes as well as mug during exam period.

Life is not about how hard you can hit.

WHAT A HOT DAY!!!!

Had my NAPFA test this morning and i can still feel the heat burning in me.....

Took my test at Toa Payoh Stadium this morning from 8am to 11am. I reached the stadium at 7.15am to do some warm-up before gathering at 7.30. The Air Force personnel was late!!! haha... that's y we started ard 8... Btw, my dad sent me there... again... cos i cant remember how to walk to the stadium from the MRT even though i went there so many times!!! Haiz.... 名符其实的路痴! :P

The weather is so hot today!!! Cant believe it was raining heavily juz yesterday... Well, that's Singapore. Anw, cos of the stupid weather, i almost had heatstroke! Really cant stand the hot sun.... My whole body is still burning. And so adding on another darker shade of me now. 我不要做印度人!

Nonetheless, I passed my NAPFA with flying colours! Getting a Gold juz isnt good enough for me. So i earned myself a full score of 30 points! Hahaha.... 'A' for all stations. Oops! A bit BHB... but who cares.... it's my blog! LOL~ Been a few months since i last exercised. Even if i din get 'A' for all stations, a pass will make me real happy le. I'm juz lucky today... haha.

So... I'm another step closer to be an AEO. Another step closer to the sky i'm aiming for... haha.

或许。。。总有一天我会了解。。。

THE AIR FORCE - ABOVE ALL

2008-04-06T11:32:00.008+08:00

Realised that alot of the bloggers liked to blog on the 4th of April, even my fav 吳尊 !! Haha...
4th of April, a date i can never forget... Filled with many precious memories and still is making and filling in them...

Had my first ever job interview on this fateful day (2 days ago) with the RSAF as an Air Engineering Officer. Alas! I got through!!!!!!

It's a whole day 'event' which stretched from morning 9am to 5pm. Imagine how tired i was after the day. There's 2 rounds of interview. A preliminary round and a final round, which comprise of 1 interviewer to 1 interviewee and 5 interviewer to 1 interviewee respectively. And to my surprise and delight, there's almost half of the interviewees from NTU! And i actually knew some of them who's my course mate. This definitely boost up my confidence with the company of my friends.

It started with a briefing given by Lieutenant Colonel Harold (I cant remember his sirname and name. But hope i get his name right.) about the job scope and prospect of an AEO. Those who attended the briefing before were to proceed to the first round of interview. I was the 2nd batch who did not attend the briefing before this. I ended up having my first round of interview around 11.30am, when all the first batch of ppl had finished and went for lunch. In the end, i have to wait for my result and my friend's result till around 12.30pm before we can go for our quick lunch, and be back by 1pm. Argh... ate dessert only... Hungry Hungry...

The Prelim round was kind of relaxing as LTC Lim asked me the normal stuff like "Why do you want to join Air Force?", etc. Ohoo... mentioning of this, i cant believe myself that i can be so crappy!!! I actually answered by lifting my shirt and said, "The uniform looks nice." Hahaha!!!! My fren said I was crazy! Luckily, LTC Lim responded to my "nonsense" by saying, "I wonder who designs this uniform, looks ugly." Hahaha.... And of cos that's not my real answer to his question. I told him i was kidding.... :P

Alright, the prelim round wasn't that stressful. But I was damn nervous for the Final round. I was put the 2nd last interviewee and guess how long i've waited for my turn... I went in at 5pm!!! The wait was of tremendous anxiety. The thought of 4 Lieutenant Colonel and 1 Captain interviewing me was frightening. I was also having a headache and shivering due to the strong Aircon that's blowing. Nevertheless, the wait was fruitful. I got thru the difficult qns and my Final interview!

Now, I'm only one step away from getting the contract. I've done my medical check-up before the interview and i'm glad i'm PES A. Juz one more IPPT, which is on 16th April, and i'll realise my dream of working in an "Air Vehicle Environment". The best combination of my interest in Airplanes and management engineering!!! I'm soooo Happy!! And i'm sure i can pass my IPPT..... Hahaha...

4th April... It's really a date to remember for life. :P

Jeff Chang Concert!!

2008-03-17T22:15:00.004+08:00

Finally, the long waited 阿哲 concert!!!
Till now, i'm still very excited and can't wait for the next time he comes to Singapore.

Before 30 mins before the concert begins...

My savour who offered to watch the concert with me...

"Trying to be funny" shot

Lights dimmed... Concert starting!!!! *Excited*

The grand setting of the stage.

The 3 LCD "Frame" featured many of the famous paintings... So romantic!!!!

Jeff in the center!

Everyone laughed when he entered cos of his curly hair.... too bad i cant get a clear shot of him.

The best shot i could catch from my view... It's damn far away... should have bought the most expensive seat.... :(

Song he sang that night includes, 宽容，信仰，不要对他说，从开始到现在，直觉，别怕我伤心，到处留情，说谎，我是真的爱你，牡丹忧，上海姑娘，太想爱你，下一个永远，用情，回来，过火，白月光，做你的男人，逃生，爱如潮水(supposedly the last song)，难以忘记你容颜，多想，我真的愿意。The last 3 songs were encored.

My fav songs are none other than 太想爱你，过火，爱如潮水，the old old ones.... Haha...
He sang 2 new songs (牡丹忧 and 逃生) in his coming new album, releasing in April. 逃生 is nice.... I'm going to buy his new album when it's out!

Towards the end of the concert, 阿哲 made a comment which i think it's quite disappointing as a Singaporean... He said, "演唱会要结束了你们才 HIGH 起来啊?" Only when he said it's the last song of the night, den people started shouting "Encore" and making alot of noise. Before this, everyone was very quiet and dead, which doesn't feel like a concert. Think the "engines" of the Singaporeans are slow in warming up....

Nonetheless, it's still a Great concert!! Enjoyed so much and will be looking forward to the next time...

2008-03-04T23:47:00.005+08:00

Too busy recently with FYP.... Struggling with all the data and debugging... My life now is juz FYP-Lec-Sleep... Sianz....

Anyway, went to Air Show 2008 to take a glimpse of the gigantic A380.

Late for the air stunts... But managed to capture this Flaming Heart manoeuvre on the bus there.

Look at the crowd... Sick!!!

Total time spent in queue: 4 hours. (To and fro)

Model of A380 showing the interior...

The real Giant behind...

A better glimpse of the whole plane...

V Day

2008-02-17T13:51:00.003+08:00

Been rather busy this period due to FYP and Hall Production. Thus, decided not to celebrate or go out on V Day. However, i still had a wonderful surprise V Day special this year. Surpries and surprises....

Part 1: Eve of V Day.

Received a bouquet of 10 purple tulips at 12midnight (14 Feb).

(Symbolism: Perfect 10)

Part 2: V Day

I had lectures and FYP the whole day and went for golf lesson at 5.30pm at Warren Country Club till 7pm. Took bus and MRT back hall and by the time i reached my room, it's already 8pm. i knew JM's going to buy back dinner for me as i've no time for dinner. So i gave him my spare key as he suggested, so that he can put down the food in my room first and go back to do his stuff. i nv suspected anything as he'd already given me a bouquet of flowers. But when i went back to my room, i was greeted by a big heart-shaped lighted candles on my floor!!!!!! I'm so touched.... Wat a great surprise!

"Candle light" Dinner of Sushi Tae.

V Day present 1: Jigsaw

V Day flower 1: 10 Purple Tulips

V Day flower 2: 1 Blue Rose

V Day present 2: a bottle of hand-written msg

Look carefully, the strips of japanese dried noodle have my name on them. All hand-written.

And there's a note too.........

So sweet~!!!!!!

It's a quote taken from the movie "我家有个河东狮"
starred by 古天乐 and 张柏芝.
The part of the show was very touching as
古天乐 recited the quote to 张柏芝 before he collasped.

So romantic!

To the Gals,

I've finally decided to change my status. Wish me luck!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!

Been waiting for my cousin to send me the pics taken at her house. But nvm, i shall update without those pics.
Nothing special this CNY... The usual visiting and praying on the first day. However, something new on the 2nd day of visiting. Went to JM's grandma's house to gamble..... haha. Won $60 in total but halved as we share the winnings. (The fact is, i won more than $30 and i brought him luck loh.... sianz.... only get $30. haha...)

Oh.... Did i forget to mention that his grandma's house is juz in my neighbourhood? Wat a coincidence. Haha... Erm... Despite the gambling which i enjoyed, it's also quite awkward as his relatives thought we were together... Hmmmmmmm. Well, who cares? As long as i win $$$. :p

Hall 14 Bash

2008-02-03T00:57:00.000+08:00

Since i dun feel like doing any work and watching tv (rare sia), i shall update my backlogs.

Well, besides my BDay celebration during the 2 weeks of zero entry, i went for Hall 14 Bash at DXO on the 17th Jan. That was my very first drunk night. i practically dun remember how i ended up in the cab back hall. Hugging the toiletbowl and vomitting was all i could recall before realising i was in the cab!

For those who do not know when my Bday is, it's on 12th Jan!!!! Yes, it's like almost 2 weeks ago. I've been real busy with school, fyp and IHG, and i'm also down with flu and cough (thanx to bec), and it's impossible for me to squeeze a time to blog. Even now, my head is spinning due to the drowsiness effect of the medicine. :(

Anyway, back to this post. Let the pics begin....

New Year 2008

2008-01-05T12:11:00.000+08:00

Alright, it's New Year... The beginning of 2008. The first thing i can think of is Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. What else? Ohooo.... i'm going to graduate in July. Hope so... Grad Trip?? So many places i wanna go. Yet to find company. How about future prospect? Seriously, i've lost my way. Some changes were so great that i cant draw my goals and see myself down in 10 years time. What i can do now is to take one step at a time. Small small step so that i wun fall again. First to graduate, next maybe find a job or further my studies. Sometimes, i really wanna get out of this place... get out of Singapore, my home. I wanna see the world... Meet different kinds of people. Learn how to be a better person. And hopefully, find my true love.

Some pictorial updates on New Year Eve and New Year 2008.

Christmas 2007

2007-12-26T21:55:00.000+08:00

Wow... My first Christmas date after so many years...
I've always spent my Christmas eve at home watching tv with my parents. The last time I went out on Christmas eve was with Andy like 3 years ago. How time flies...

Alright, back to this year. I'm so honoured to be asked out for a Christmas eve date after a major setback... which I'm still suffering from now... Sometimes, single has its own good too. Able to choose to go out with any guys... Haha... Oops...
Though I didn't have the chance to spend Christmas with this special person, I'm glad I've had a great time too with JunMian and the splendid dinner at Secret Garden... Expensive lehz... haha.
This year's Christmas made me realise that love is not ever-lasting.... How sad...

Took a walk to see the Christmas lighting after dinner...

Roof terrace at Esplanade...

I made him pose for this shoot. Hahaha~

Outside Secret Garden at Bugis....

Can only take close-up shots cos no one around to take for us...

Yummy Yummy~!

Christmas present from me.

Christmas present from him.

Calculating the cost after the dinner....

"Wah... Only bread for me for the rest of the month..."

Haha... $153 for this dinner!!!!! Felt so bad to let him treat me... :p

Thanx anw!!!! Dinner was superb!

A Night of Havoc

2007-12-16T22:42:00.000+08:00

I'm Craving for Pizza Hut and finally i had it in my mouth! Haha...
A night of amazing encounters and fond memories with my dear galfrenz...
I Love You Gals!! Muackz!!

My Dears~

The Pizza I'm craving for.... HoHoHo...

Look What Julynn did!!! She ate only the top and left the crust!!

Juz b'cos of dieting... Hmmm.... WASTE FOOD!!

Look at my new dress!! Bought it on the day itself for the "party" at night!!

Becca and i at The Arena...

After dinner, becca and i went clubbing... First stop, The Arena. It's ladies' night and we had a few rounds of drinks before leaving cos the place juz doesnt suit us... The free lychee martini and vodka were not very nice and the alcohol content were very low... The crowd was full of middle age uncles and aunties.. Oops.. But it was terrible to see this kinda crowd when we were there to "Bio"/see handsome guys and pretty gals. Haha. Erm... but the music was good.. Live band good singers.. The only attraction there for us...

So in the end, after staying for 30min, we went to MOS. Only to realise how bad it was as the previous. There were only a few ppl dancing on the floor and the atmosphere was not fantastic. Failed to bring up our mood. Juz when we decided to finish our vodka redbull and leave, 2 korean guys approached us. Well, it was the first time being approached by guys in a club, kinda excited. Haha... HoHoHo... the 2 guyz were totally "cheated" by us. They were 23 and still schooling in Singapore. When asked about our age, my dear Becca told them we were 25. Haha... so interesting. I became an engineer and Becca became an admin officer. After toking for awhile, we decided to stop the game. In the end, one of the guys asked for my no. and guess what, he msged me 2 days later, but in the sms he sent reads, "Rebecca, do u remember me?" OMG, he juz sent me another msg, and what the hell... this time reads, " Hi Rebecca what are you doing? I hope you glad to reading my message". Eh... I'm Isabel, not Rebecca! Get your names and person right before msging sia!!! anw, i ignored the sms... nv reply. :p

Alright, enough of this ridiculous episode. Next, we went Zouk to find Becca's fren. However, we did not manage to find her, i met my frenz and we danced with them instead. It was quite fun and tiring.. we went back at 4am, when i have a netball game the next day ard 12nn!! Headache!!!!! Haha....

The 2 korean guys... The one on the left is cuter.. But the one on the right asked for my no.

In MOS toilet...

Car Accident

2007-12-01T12:26:00.001+08:00

I was woken up by a phone call at 8am.
My mum took the call.
As i listened to what my mum said, i sensed that there was something amiss. She didn't sound right and her voice was very serious. I got up and looked at her as she talked on the phone.

My dad met an accident.
Both of us were shocked and worried. We hurried to the scene of the accident at Ubi Avenue 1.

Thank goodness! My dad wasn't badly injured. Just some minor cuts and bruises on his leg and chest. However, due to the impact, he had chest pain which could be serious. After much persuasion, we went to the Changi General Hospital. My dad was scolded by my mum and I for not going to the hospital when the ambulance came. He claimed that he was alright and refused to go to the hospital when he was actually hurt. Stubborn!

My dad said that as he came out of the carpark after dropping a passenger, a black car suddenly appeared in front of him. It was too sudden for him to react and there was a head-to-head collision. The black Nissan was just a few days old. It's a new car! The driver told my dad that he was sleepy and had fallen asleep which resulted in this accident. His car crossed the double white line to the opposite lane at the bend and crashed into my dad's taxi. Luckily, both of them wasn't driving very fast, around 40 to 50 km/h. Or else, it cannot be imagined. The driver wasn't hurt. (Thanx to the airbag which my dad didn't have.)

My dad's taxi was shifted to the front so as not to obstruct the traffic at the bend. Notice the black Nissan was in the wrong direction.

Never felt so pain before...

To lose someone so dear to me...

"Will i get over you?" i asked myself many times.

I have to eventually or i can't survive.

Will you forget about me?

i fear you would but what can i do?

You said you will be there for me for the rest of my life.

But you break your promise... the promise we made.

I'm hurt... badly hurt... to think you are so cruel to me...

I will and I must. I need to stand up and keep walking.

Put away the past, our past so precious to me...

I will be strong so don't you worry.

A New study formula called Scratch's Law of Study,
founded by Scatch W.Y.

Derivation:

study = no fail -- [1]
no study = fail -- [2]

[1] + [2] :

study + no study = no fail + fail
(1 + no) study = (no + 1) fail

==> study = fail

BLOODY IDIOTIC DAY

2007-11-08T16:09:00.000+08:00

NEVER EVER GO TO THIS SHOP

MUSIC BOOK ROOM

(书城音乐书局)

IN BRAS BASAH!

POOR SERVICE & POOR ATTITUDE! IDIOTIC FACE & FUCKING WANNA SLAP THE PERSON. ASK FOR WIRE BINDING INTO CALENDAR. THEY DUN PROVIDE THE BACKING DEN JUZ SAY PROPERLY LAH! NEED TO GIVE BLACK FACE AND BE RUDE?

I'M TOTALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF BY RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE BRAS BASAH BUILDING TO FIND A BACKING FOR MY CALENDAR. IN THE END, I BOUGHT A THICK VANGUARD PAPER FROM POPULAR BOOK STORE. THE QUEUE WAS FUCKING LONG AND THE COMPUTER WAS DOWN. THEY HAD TO CALCULATE MANUALLY WHICH IS DAMN SLOW!

FINALLY BOUGHT IT. WENT BACK TO THE BINDING SHOP AND ASKED IF THEY CAN HELP ME CUT THE PAPER INTO THE SIZE I WANT. GUESS WAT?!?!?!?! THE PERSON PASSED ME A PENKNIFE AND A RULER AND TOLD ME TO CUT ON THE TABLE OUTSIDE THEIR SHOP MYSELF!

THAT'S NOT ALL... IN THE END, AFTER CUTTING THE PAPER, I REALISED THAT IT WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD AND STAND. SO I FUCKING DUN CARE ANYMORE & BOUGHT A 2008 CALENDAR IN THEIR SHOP TO USE THE BACKING, THOUGH THE SIZE WAS A BIT SMALL...

AT LAST!!!!!! DONE. ASKED THE PERSON HOW MUCH ALL TOGETHER, SHE JUZ TOOK MY $10 IN MY HAND AND GAVE ME BACK $2.10 WITHOUT TELLING ME THE COST. HOW RUDE!!!!!! THAT'S NOT THE MAIN CONCERN. THE THING IS, THE CALENDAR COST $2.90, SO THE BINDING COST $5 WHEN SHE TOLD ME $4 IN THE BEGINNING?!?!?! THE THICKNESS IS ONLY 4mm!!! HOW RIDICULOUS! ANYHOW JUZ UP THE PRICE. FUCKING BITCH!!!

SO DUN EVER GO TO THE SHOP!!! YOU'LL END UP PAYING MORE & HAVING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE...

PSA Port Tour

2007-11-05T17:47:00.000+08:00

Finally back to my small little cosy room.

So tired and feeling a little dizzy after a long bus ride from PSA building back to hall on bus no. 10... Approx 1 hour.... Duhz...

The port tour was rather interesting. Hmm.... it's like going for an excursion. Haha. The aim is to let the applicants have a better understanding of the environment and job scope that they are applying for. Had a really fun time looking at those huge containers and the lifts operating.

Oh! Not forgetting to mention about this fren of mine whom I get to know her during the port tour. She's also from NTU and majoring in Chemical and biological Engineering. She's smart and friendly too. And she knows you (ZiHui)!!!! Haha... My greatest achievement of the day!

OK, back to the port tour.
I was very pleased and more interested in this job i'm applying for after the port tour. Oops! did i mention wat i'm applying for? It's Operations Executive (OE). Rather unique position which other companies seldom have. I love the dynamic job nature. That is, it's full of unexpected ventures everyday. OEs manage and organise the port operations, mainly leadership roles. They have to deal with many different levels of ppl, ranging from crane operators to the upper management team. They will also deal with sudden changes and accidents. Alot of decisions making and planning are made by them. I'm juz for this kinda job as i hated routine jobs and fixed office hours... Soooo Boring!!! But one thing bad about this job. OEs have to do 12hours shifts. Both day and night.... Looks like i have to learn and get used to not sleeping at night if i get the job. :(

Now, I'll have to wait for them to shortlist ppl down for the prelim interview. Hopefully i can be shortlisted and make my way through the 2nd (Final) interview too. Wish me LUCK!

心情故事

2007-10-24T22:33:00.000+08:00

(Taken from an email. Enjoy.)

癌症細胞 - 作者：李家同

給你講一個故事﹐

老張是我們高中同班同學中唯一念醫學院的同學，
他是癌症醫生。

我們雖然是好朋友，
但我們常常開玩笑說最好不需要去找他。

同班同學聚會，老張一定會到，
他的收入高得不得了，所以有的時候他會請客，
偶爾同學中有人發生一些經濟上的困難，
他也會慷慨解囊。

雖然老張對人很慷慨，卻過著很簡樸的生活，
他每次都坐公共汽車來聚會，他也乘公車離開，
現在有了地鐵，他當然都乘地鐵。
他也從不大吃大喝。

我的感覺是，老張非常不喜歡過非常舒適的生活。

我們都是六十二歲左右的人，
到退休年齡，卻沒有人真正退休。

大概四個月以前聽人家說，老張退休了，
醫院還為他舉行了一個退休儀式，
而且聽說場面有些感傷。

我弄不清楚是怎麼一回事，正想打電話給他，
沒有想到在台北的一家書店碰到了他。
他正在買偵探小說，
看到了我，高興得不得了，一把抓住我，
找了一家環境優雅的咖啡館，
坐下來大談他所喜歡的偵探小說，
我也聽得津津有味。

可是，我注意到一件事，老張瘦了一些。

老張是個聰明人。
他當然知道我已注意到他的消瘦，
他主動地告訴我，
他得了癌症，已經只有幾個月的生命。

對我來講，這真是青天霹靂，
也沒有問現在有沒有治療?
因為我想他是這方面的專家，應該知道如何治療。

離開咖啡館的時候，下雨了。
我替老張攔下了一輛計程車，
這是我有生以來，第一次看到老張乘坐計程車。

一個月以後，老張來埔里找我。
他的兒子也是癌症醫生。

我們一起去了附近的農場看油桐花。
那裡的油桐花種在道路兩旁，大樹成蔭，
車子開過滿地的白花，真是奇景。

老張雖然時常面露倦容，
但他一再說不虛此行。
因為，他以後再也看不到
這種遍地都是白花的情境了。

除了看花以外，
老張也對我們的多媒體系統有很大的興趣。
我們的研究生，替他表演了好多有趣的系統。
老張仔細地看這些表演，也問很多有道理的問題。
這也是看到老張的最後一次。

不久，老張就去世了。

我當時心中納悶，為什麼他走得這麼快？
以他的專業素養，
他的癌症一定是初期，
他所得到的治療也一定是最好的。
為什麼他這麼快就走了？

我們都收到了訃聞。
訃聞中除了絕對婉謝花圈這些玩意兒外，
還有一個特別的請求，
請大家在指定的地點坐他們家租的遊覽車去。

訃聞中，好像拒絕任何人開汽車去參加葬禮。
期間來了一大票名醫，他們都面容嚴肅。
我們這些人看了這麼多的名醫，更加深一個疑問：

為什麼老張走得如此之快？

謎底終於揭曉了，老張的兒子致詞的時候，
告訴我們一個我們都不知道的故事：
老張從頭到尾沒有接受任何治療。

為什麼呢？

老張的兒子在禮堂中放映了一段錄影帶，
在這段錄影帶中，老張解釋了何謂癌症細胞？

我們常以為癌症細胞是不健康的細胞，
其實不然，
癌症細胞是最健康、最有活力的，
別的細胞雖然會分裂，但分裂會有止境。

癌症細胞的分裂永遠不會停止。

不斷的分裂需要養分，但是人的養分有限，
癌症細胞的不斷分裂
最後將其他正常細胞的養分吸取得一乾二淨。

因此老張認為我們這些人都是 [癌症細胞]。

因為太健康，所以我們吃得多。
因為有錢，所以我們消耗掉大量能源。
可是，地球上就這麼多資源，
我們用得多，其他人類就倒楣了。

老張在錄影帶中一再地強調：
百分之八十的資源，由百分之二十的人類消耗掉。

他也一再地提醒我們：
如果，全世界的人都像我們這樣地吃遠洋的魚，
全地球海裡的魚只夠我們吃一天。

他一再地問一個問題：
如果，全世界的人都像我們一樣地享受，
地球上的資源能撐多久？
舉例來說，四十年後，石油就用光了。

老張的錄影帶也介紹了
非洲二千五百萬人得到了愛滋病的慘相，
這一段的聲音被消除了。

但這一段靜寂的錄影帶，帶給我們極大的震撼。

老張的兒子沒有解釋
為什麼老張不願意接受治療？

那一段沒有任何聲音的錄影帶，解釋了一切。

老張早就對於他的生活好感到內疚。
所以，他一直儘量地過得很簡單。

最近非洲大批人得到愛滋病，
卻沒有人得到任何治療。
歐美雖然有治療愛滋病的藥，
但這些非洲窮人，如何有錢買這種藥呢?

老張熱愛生命，但是他不願他的生命影響了別人，
他不願意看到自己太健康，太健康就是癌症細胞了。

最後，老張提到他自己的病，
他說：他的病是不可能痊癒的，
花了很多錢以後，他可以多活三至四年，
在這三、四年內，他所能做的非常之少，
所以他不願意為了他的這三、四年的生命，
而花費人類大量的醫藥資源。

老張的兒子也在葬禮上告訴了大家：
老張臨死以前，捐了大筆的錢給一個慈善機構，

老張如果多活幾年，
也許可以醫治一些人，
但是他的拒絕治療，
卻是一個強有力的震撼教育。

前天，我們同學會，
每人一個盤餐，大家不發牢騷，
每個人都對自己的命運感到滿足。

我家現在平時只開電扇，有客人來才開冷氣。
我們也越吃越簡單，
每次餐後有香蕉吃就心滿意足矣。

我住的是公寓，
有時，難免想念當年在國外住的獨門獨園房子。
現在，我的想法也改了。
如果，全台灣的人都這樣住，
台灣恐怕會看不到一片青山，一片綠水，
全台灣只看到房子了。

老張說得有道理，
我們不能生活得太好，
我們不該是癌症細胞。
我們應該將青山綠水留給下一代，留給別人。

老張瀟灑地離去，使我們可瀟瀟灑灑地活著。

我們都輕鬆多了。

一起期許自己別做地球的癌細胞

當然
還是要提醒您

也別讓身體的癌細胞侵襲我們喲！

Reverse Logistics Trade Shows 2007

2007-10-04T17:02:00.000+08:00

RLTS is here at Le Meridien Singapore Hotel from 2nd to 4th Oct, organised by Reverse Logistics Association (RLA) Conference & Expo Singapore 2007. There are about 165 companies with 335 registered attendees participating in this big scale event.

http://www.rltshows.com/singapore.php

I've signed up as an intern in this event and hope to gain more knowledge and networking. However, when the person-in-charge (Lisa) did not email me about the details (my fren received), I thought I wasn't selected or something and I did not go for the event.

Last night, my fren called me at about 9.30pm and told me that she saw my name tag and asked Lisa about me. Lisa told her that she did reply to my email for confirmation of my participation and was wondering why I did not show up for the event. OMG! I didn't receive the email, I swear!

Anyway, I decided to go today since she asked if I'm still keen in helping out.
So I woke up at 5am this morning and reached the Hall 4 bus stop at 5.45am as I have to reach by 7am. I'd checked the SBS website for the first bus and it stated 5.15am. But as i waited for the bus, I knew it's not the correct information. Then, I went over to the signboard at the bus stop to check the timing for the first bus and found out that it was 6.15am! Shit! In the end, the first bus came at 6.30am. I waited for 45 min at the bus stop!!

I was late by 30 min. Everything was going smoothly as I helped them with some admin stuff until the HP ink cartridge went low. They needed to print urgently for the conference and I was assigned to get the ink cartridge. It was 9am then. My SMU fren told me that her school's bookshop would be opened by then and I walked all the way from Meridien to SMU to find out that they do not sell the ink cartridge model as it is very new. Haiz.... A trip wasted.

When I went back, I tried searching the internet for stationery stores around the area which opened around that time. At last, I managed to contact EverGreen from Centrepoint and though they do not have the model, they offered to help to get it from the other branch. Thank goodness! Or else, I'll be in deep shit for delaying the time.

The end for my first and last experience of this event. I went back school at 1pm for my lab session after that. Busy but memorable. :)

I'll be going for the Ministerial Forum at 7pm. More updates coming up tonight!

I Can't Believe i'm ShoPPinG

2007-09-30T21:42:00.000+08:00

This is one of the rare days that i'm actually SHOPPING! haha.... those who know me well will know that i'm not those who will go on a shopping spree. :)

After a period of low morale, i'm finally back and alive, ready to strive for my best in my studies. (even though i din study for the whole of the sem-break. haha) Well rested at home, i think i've grew horizontally. Argh!!!! Damned.

Anyway, back to the main point for this blog. I've gone Bugis with my Mummy today to accompany her to the temple. At first, we wanted to catch the movie "Legendary Courtesan: Hwang Jin Yi". However, mum said that she read the reviews and the show wasn't as great and not worth watching. Thus, we decided to walk walk in Bugis Street. :)

I haven been to Bugis Street for quite some time. And i nv did buy anything from there before, except a pair of jeans (erm... in July i think). But miracles do happen. i bought a top in the first shop i went into. haha.... $15... not too ex i think. Mummy paid. heehee. That's when my spree began. i bought a belt ($10) and a bag ($33 - paid myself) subsequently.

Then, we went to Bras Basar to look for Chinese books. My mum likes the novels written by this local author - Ying Pei An. We went looking for his book store and eventually bought 2 of his novels with his signature on them. (i asked for it... hha) Besides that, mum bought another 2 books, one on the Emperors of Qing Dynasty, the other on the novel - Se Jie (the movie showing soon on 4th Oct). Spent a total of about $70 on 4 books.

Though didn't sound like i bought a lot of stuff. But at least it's more than usual for me. :) So my next aim: Travel. I really hope i can travel this coming Dec. Been rather down due to many hipups while planning my trip. Haiz... Shall not mention here. Alright, that's all for today. A boring entry? i hope not. haha.

[Am i fated to travel? Someone pls enlighten me...]

HAS - Hall Admission Scheme

2007-09-28T15:21:00.000+08:00

Juz 10 min ago, my hall room was officially under my name. I've been staying in my current room since last year and was forced to switch room to another block (luckily not another hall) due to the inefficient HAS (Hall Admission Scheme).
Fortunately, the one who was allocated my room was my fren and she wanted the room i was allocated to. Thus, we did an internal swap (illegally) and stayed in our desired room under each other's name.
Finally, the procedure for mutual exchanging of our rooms is over! Hooray!! My room under my name... Sounds pretty good. :)

HAS - Hall Admission Scheme
A lot of the NTU undergrads are still not familiar with the system.

It is basically formed by 2 factors:

Travelling Time
Campus Life Involvement

Here is a simplified model of the scheme.

Stage 1

Category A:
Guaranteed
New students, international exchange students, students with special needs, mgmt com members in student organisations, Special University Programmes (CN Yang Programme)

1. Management committee members in student organisations are entitled to only double rooms but not a specific room.

2. A management committee member is eligible under Category A by virtue of his or her incumbency. If he / she is removed from office by a constitutional motion or by a statutory process, he / she shall correspondingly forfeit his / her tenancy in the hall.

Category B:
(Double Rooms)
1. Discretionary (capped at 40 places per hall [double rooms])
The Senior Hall Fellow, in consultation with his or her HFs, may use his / her discretion to admit up to 40 students who, he / she feels, can contribute to hall activities.

2. University Sports Scheme (capped at 450 places [double rooms] and any unused places will be released to Cat C)
Student Athletes whose representations are listed on the sports scheme (Group A) may opt to be placed under HAS Category B or Category C.

Category C:
(remaining places after Category A and Category B)
Weighting:
(a) Travelling Time <35mins:> 3
(a) Travelling Time <50mins:> 4
(a) Travelling Time <65mins:> 5
(a) Travelling Time <80mins:> 6
(a) Travelling Time <95mins:> 7
(a) Travelling Time <110mins:> 8
(a) Travelling Time ≥110mins: *9
(b) Campus Life-Level 1: 9
(b) Campus Life-Level 2: 7
(b) Campus Life-Level 3: 5
(b) Campus Life-Level 4: 3
(c)**Academic Probation: 3
(d)Final-year student--has never stayed in a hall: 2
(e)Non-final-year student--has never stayed in a hall: 1
(f)Local student willing to share a room with an international student and vice versa: 3
(g)***Students on Overseas Exchange and Overseas IA: 3

* international students: weighting is 9 by default
**The weighting for Academic Probation is awarded only if the applicant is placed under such probation at the point of application for hall accommodation.
***The weighting for Campus Life and that for Overseas Exchange / Overseas IA are mutually exclusive. In other words, there is only one weighting awarded between Campus Life and Overseas Exchange / Overseas IA, whichever is the higher one.

Successful:
Automatically allocated rooms by computer system: may indicate choice of roommate (who must also be successful), priority given to returning residents.

Stage 2

Balloting:
Applicants who are unsuccessful after Stage 1 will be placed on the waiting list for the next round of balloting when vacancies arise (until the last person on the list is offered accommodation).
If there are still any vacancies after the last person on the above-mentioned waiting list has been offered, the vacancies will then be offered to those who do not meet the minimum requirements.

Hopefully, this will help a little in the understanding of this shitty HAS, which caused big commotions and caused great inconvenience to the Hall residents. Even some of the Hall Presidents of JCRC did not get their rooms despite their very much contribution to Halls due to their travelling time weighting.

e.g. 1

Paul lives in Tampines and he's an active resident in hall, participating in the sub-committee of JCRC. He needs at least 1 hour 30 min to travel from his house to NTU, excluding waiting time, which may be up to 15 min.

Travelling Time: 7
Campus Life-Level 3: 5

Total points: 12

General Hall Cut-off point:
Male - 14
Female - 13

Result: Stage 1 Unsuccessful

e.g. 2

Jane lives in Jurong East and she's an active hall resident in the Main committee of JCRC. She needs about 30 mins to travel from her house to school, excluding waiting time, which may be up to 15 min.

Travelling Time: 3
Campus Life-Level 1: 9

Total points: 12

General Hall Cut-off point:
Male - 14
Female - 13

Result: Stage 1 Category A - Risk of not getting back her old room or even her current hall.

What the hell... Even an active hall resident in the management committee can't be guaranteed the same room. What's more for a normal hall resident?

Random Thoughts

2007-09-25T18:07:00.000+08:00

I'm slacking at home for the past few days since Friday. It's Sem-Break! and i did NOTHING.. practically nothing at home... Besides going out with my LaoPo on Saturday, i've been watching tv, eat & sleep for the past few days.
Maybe i'm running away from reality... maybe i'm too afraid. I know i need to decide.... but who can tell me wat is the best? i need to walk out from my past to be able to think.. i cant trust (thanx to you)... i cant commit... there's a knot i need to untie or i cant take the risk...
Alright now, i guess, cos everyone's exhausted. i need a break too if u didnt realise. i'm stressed cos i cant perform well in my studies. i need to concentrate.. i know....

Going back hall to study tml... Good Luck to me...

Lonely

2007-09-17T23:07:00.000+08:00

Juz had my Heat transfer quiz today. Total disaster. Haiz... feeling very moody now....
As i look back, i realised i'm juz all alone after all... one lonely gal in a lonely room.

A sign of depression i guess.... maybe i'm too stressed up.
Suddenly, i feel like going home... i miss my mum, miss my dad, miss my bro and miss my bedroom....
i might seem strong outside but i'm rather weak inside. i need someone to be there for me... i need company.... i need my loved ones, i need my friends.....

"Lonely, i'm so lonely.... I've nobody, all on my own~~~"

Truly reflects my emotions....

NTU Pageant 2007

2007-08-29T20:14:00.000+08:00

Last night was NTU Pageant 2007 - Be-Dazzled '07.
This year's response was very bad and sad to say, there were no outstanding contestants.
Even worst! 2 of the male contestants backed out last min....

Bring to you... The Contestants.

F1 - Tanvi (18, CBE/1)

M1 - James (23, EEE/2)

F2 - Margareta (21, CS/4)

M2 - Dindson (22, MSE/2)

F3 - Divya (19, CBE/1)

M3 - Clement (23, NBS/3)

F4 - Hom Mei (25, EEE/4)

M4 - Alan (23, EEE/3)

F5 - Preeti (21, MAE/3)

M9 - Morgan (NBS/3)

F10 - Claire (21, MAE/3)

M10 - Arun (19, SCE/1)

Alright, the time arrangement was also a disaster. It was supposed to start at 7.30pm but was delayed till 8.30pm. Guess wat? It was the draggiest School Pageant ever. It ended around 11.30pm!

Anyway, for your information, M9 won Mr NTU 07 and F8 won Ms NTU 07. I couldn't remember who won the other titles and prizes. Haha... simply too disappointed to take notice.

Not forgetting my dear Fren Isen.... Good job man! I was there to support you.... and only you. (Others cannot make it.) :P

Here's One Minute of Fame by M6 - Isen.... Enjoy!

Final Year Final Lap

2007-08-15T17:04:00.000+08:00

It's the 2nd week of school reopen. Final year life is no joke... especially when i have 2 more modules to clear than others.

FYP. The major project in the entire undergrad course. The busiest and most stressful module which last for 2 semesters. I was allocated a project titled: Optimization of a beverage distribution network for Singapore. What was that!? I was so shocked and anxious when i first knew about my project. I've no idea how to start the project and where to get information for analysis. I was told to model the beverage distribution network in Supply Chain Designer software and compare the performance (cost, inventory level, etc.) of 2 different types of networks. It's under the area of Engineering management & logistics. I'm lucky that i've chosen to specialise in System Engineering, which is the field for management & logistics.

In addition to my uncertainty, my prof was a slacker! I went to my first FYP lab session yesterday and he was nowhere to be found. I even went to his office to look for him but he wasn't around. In the end, i've to ask the technician there for the password to log-in the computer to learn the software myself through the help topics. Not even a manual is given to me for self-learning! Terrible.... I really hope things will get better as i start to haunt my prof everyday regarding my project.

[Hurting is a form of Love too]

Meanwhile, i'll take this opportunity to read my Accounting and prepare for my Paper on the 26th.

Are you in for a SURPRISE?

2007-07-11T10:47:00.000+08:00

When is the last time you were surprised?

Well, mine was yesterday. I went for this Surprise Movie Screening at GV Plaza Singapura with my friend, and braced ourselves for the event.

Guess what was screened? I've never liked horror movies and yet I misread the "Genre"... And we ended up watching....

Tada! This! "Vacancy"! A super suspense/thriller/horror movie! Which scared the wits out of me. I spent most of the movie cowering, and covering my eyes, not even daring to peek. My friend had to narrate the scenes to me. LOL! In the end, I only managed to eat 4 pieces of the box of Nachos we brought into the cinema. My friend, in contrary, finished my unfinished share!

Well, other than the very real suspense and thrill, the plot was rather disappointing. There wasn't a lead in nor any lead out. In other words, "no head, no tail". The scenes are rather sadist... but not gory at all. We hardly saw blood till the end of the show.

So if you're in for JUST the suspense/horror, you should catch this, or else, forget it. Of cos, you guys can bring a girl there. 100% they will grab hold of you.... Hahaha...

Look at the crowd... Scary...

Managed to buy the luggage at $39.90 (both).

Phew... That's my first reaction when i squeezed out of the place. Nevertheless, it's a good bargain. :)

10.30pm. You called. Oh NO! u went in and passed the immigration counter.

So near yet so far. it's really worse than not sending u off. Can only wave and see u through the glass panel... how ironic...

Now, it's endurance time.... Cya in 3 weeks! :)

SaMSunG K3 MP3 PLaYeR ReVieWed

2007-06-16T20:11:00.000+08:00

Saw this gorgeous Samsung K3 mp3 player during one of my shopping spree. So decided to search for reviews and found some interesting recapitulation which i'm gonna share here...

Some pics of K3 to begin with...

K3 with speaker wallet

Bloody Mary colour

Mojito colour

Most of the reviews rated K3 as sleek and profound.

The only problem is the fingerprints left on the screen, which i think wouldn't be a prob since a wipe can solve it. It is as thin and sophisticated as nano. I personally like the blue LED light with the black K3. Looks really cool... It definitely can make an impact, not a big one but still, to ipod nano.

A video from youtube to show the features and usage of K3.

SicK - Telogen Effluvium

2007-06-14T12:17:00.000+08:00

We read news everyday about disasters, diseases, diplomatics, illness, controversies, etc. However, the thought of all these happening to us seldom cross our minds. Not that i would've thought of... if this isn't true.

Telogen Effluvium. I'm diagnosed with this condition which is the name for temporary hair loss due to shedding after some shock to the body system.

In a normal healthy person's scalp, about 85% of the hair follicles are actively growing hair and 15% are resting. A hair follicle usually grows hair for 4 years then rests for 4 months. The old hair then falls out and a new hair begins to grow. When the hair rests, it changes into a club hair. When the new hair starts, it forms under the resting club hair and pushes it out.
Thus, it is normal to lose up to about 100 hairs a day on one's comb, brush, in the basin or on the pillow, as a result of the normal scalp hair cycle.
If there is some shock to the system, as many as 70% of the scalp hairs can be precipitated into a resting state, thus reversing the usual ratio.

The resting scalp hairs, now in the form of club hairs, remain firmly attached to the hair follicles at first. It is only about 2 months after the shock that the new hairs coming up through the scalp push out the "dead" club hairs and increased hair fall is noticed.

At first the fall of club hairs is profuse and a general thinning of the scalp hair may become evident but after several months a peak is reached and hair fall begins to lessen, gradually tapering back to normal over 6-9 months. As the hair fall tapers off the scalp thickens back up to normal, but recovery may be incomplete in some cases.

Because nail and hair growth are under the same influences, an arrest in hair growth is often mirrored in the nails by a groove across them coinciding with the time of the shock to the system. This is called a Beau's line. The time of the shock can be estimated from the fact that a finger nail takes 5 months to grow from the posterior nail fold to the free edge. So if the groove in the nail is half way down the nail then the shock must have been 2 1/2 months ago.

Beau's line on my thumb.

Among the common causes are high fevers, childbirth, severe infections, severe chronic illness, severe psychological stress, major surgery or illnesses, over or under active thyroid gland, crash diets with inadequate protein, and a variety of medications.

I had a very high fever of up to 39.2°C for 4 days during my Hall Production in March. Maybe this might be the cause of my condition now, or might it be due to psychological stress? Whatever the causes, it is still not gonna change the fact that I'm losing my hair! Juz like ppl who had undergone chemotherapy. Even though they will grow back after 6-9 months, I still can't image how I'd look like before my hair finally grows back, hopefully back to nothing less than normal. Meanwhile, a nice hat or head wear will do its job...

今生注定

2007-05-24T12:00:00.000+08:00

今生注定

曲：织田哲郎
词：何厚华

现在你心里想什么，能不能就写在眼眸，
告诉我在这沉默的片刻，让我们用心灵交流。
如果爱情烦恼真的太多，或许心事都交给我。
为你耽忧对我来说，也是快乐。
不管有多少真心多少爱被错过，有了你我已经别无所求。
用半生紧紧相守换取承诺，甚么话都不必再说喔。
总以为曾经付出曾被爱伤害过，这世上只有我对爱执著。
直到我慢慢感受你的温柔，才了解今生注定与你相守。

Been crazy over this song since secondary 3. Haha...
Really miss those days in AHS...
If i'm given a chance, i'll wish to go back to 7 years ago.. back to my Happiest moments of my life.

Been rather down these 2 days...
Been thinking abt the past, present & future...
Never thought you would say "Miss you" to someone else other than me... But you did...
Love is really blind, i believe...
Love makes one do the silliest thing...
Like calling you juz to listen to your voice "Hello Hello Hello", before putting down the phone so as not to disturb you...

[第三天。。。想你。。。]

2007-05-23T20:41:00.000+08:00

Talked to S today on my way to catch the company bus after work. I realised that the hatred has neutralised and i felt sorry for her. That's b'cos, she's also a victim in this whole incident too.

On Saturday, initially N told me that she wanted to forgo Mix Doubles as her team is against last year's Champ. And that's before trying out partnering with S. Along the way to the bus juz now, S told me that they are not playing on this Saturday's match as N told her she's injured and wanna play only either one of the 2 doubles (mix & lady's), and that her mix doubles partner dun wanna walkover the match, so had to sacrifice S.

That's obvious right? N knew that they cant perform and dun wanna partner S! Cant believe that there's such person... Keep on changing her mind to her advantage... (see Episode 1 & 2 for details of her fickle-mindedness)

Now, i dun really find S annoying anymore. It's all b'cos of N that i'm prejudiced against S. Haiz... I'm sorry S. i promise i'll treat u nicely next time we play in court. :P

[第二天。。。没你的消息。。。]

Some Thoughts...

2007-05-21T23:25:00.000+08:00

How i wish i could tok to u like we used to...

How i wish i wouldn't pick on you...

How i wish i wouldn't have to quarrel with you...

How i wish i could hold you like we always do...

How i wish you wouldn't say," Go sleep ba... it's late."

How i wish you wouldn't find me annoying when i nag...

How i wish i wouldn't cry everytime i hang up the phone...

How i wish you could spare me more care and concern...

How i wish i'm your priority...

How i wish you would be there for me...

How i wish... How i wish...

How i wish all these could have an ending.

Sorry ppl.... High fever on Saturday after badminton and too weak to write my blog. Haiz... 38.2°C.... Vomitted too.... :(
Anyway, latest update to my post on Thursday (17 May).

Hmm... eager to know the result? I'm sorry N, luck is not on your side.
S is juz average. Can hit the shuttle, know some standard stokes.... I'm only juz a little bit above average. Can't even win me, yet still so cocky... haiz.... Disappointed.

L and I paired against S and N. 15:2... Count yourself lucky that we din give an EGG!!! OMG! i cant stand S face... wanna smash her head with the shuttle (Oops! sorry, too agitated). She acted as though she's very good... and when i din even give her a chance to hit the shuttle, she got REAL angry.. There's once when i serve to her, she wanted to tap over. Instead, she's too pekchek that she accidentally hit her racket on the ground (OUCH!)... bellygoodgood...

NVM, i shouldn't get too concern... Not my partner anw.. Juz wanna enjoy my game and sweat it out. Good Luck to my match on this Saturday... Hope i dun lose badly. :P

NeW BaDMiNToN MeMBeR (Episode1)

2007-05-17T21:49:00.000+08:00

Hmm.... OK.. Let's start with introduction.

I've joined my company's badminton training since 2 weeks ago. Thanx to L, i managed to blend in with the team and enjoyed every session of the training. Through L, i get to know N. She manages all the admin stuff of the team for competition. Then, J joins us to make up 2 female doubles team. As J is a senior manager, she's always too busy to join us for training. up to now, i only see her twice. But, she's a very good player. She represented NTU in the IVP games many years ago. Her stokes are clean and sharp, but only her stamina is not as good as before. Anyway, i think she is a very good player.

Today, N came to me and introduced S. She is a NUS student, who came to our company last Monday to do her Vocational Attachment for 3 months. N told me that she's a school team player, and when i knew she could play, i'm so glad to have another kaki to spar with. I was so excited and asked her which school she was from. She said she was from A*K Sec Sch. Hmm... i paused for a moment, den i smiled and nodded my head.... In my mind, i was searching for any memory regarding that sch during National tournament in my Sec sch years. But... None. Anyway, it's still good to get to know her. She might be very good too. Who knows? :)

On our way to Singapore Technologies for our training? N told L excitedly that she found a new IA student who is in sch team before. And she kept emphasizing "SCHOOL TEAM". How irritating.... After our training, as we walked to the MRT station, N started to discuss who should partner who for the female doubles. I'm for L, of cos. Earlier on, N was pairing with L. But after i came, she wanted to pair with me. and guess wat, now she wanna pair with S! How fickle-minded. I know what kind of cat is in her bag... She wants to partner with a good player. N said,"You also play not bad, why you never say you are in school team before? S told me very confidently that she's in the sch team before when i asked her if she plays badminton." I answered,"Whether or not in school team. Can play means can play, cannot play means cannot play." Haha... i juz cant stand her anymore.

When i reach my room, N msged.
"Final lady double pair. i will change 2moro early morning as follows
1. che yin & L
2. S & N
Pls help to think of how to tell J abt this arrangement b4 go and see her 2moro. thanks."

Hello!!!! I'm against the idea of changing J to S. Why should i go with u to see her tml? OMG!!!

So i replied.
"Why is J not playing?"

N replied.
"Me and L has discussed just now and we have decided both of us 2 go see J 2moro ask her play only mix double since she got no stamina and we have found our partner. we find that it's hard to partner her if she dun come for the training. will see how she say."

To be honest, if she come to me tml to go see J with her, i'll juz tell her i'm not going. Haiz... Why is it that before the competition, there's already POLITICS going on?!

S is coming to Saturday's training. I'm looking forward to this day...... to see if N chooses the right person, even without seeing S playing... Good luck N!

Hectic Day!

It's so late now!! Tired but happy. :)
It's been so long after the 3 of us finally went out together. Juz the 3 of us... haha... **Dun get misunderstood! i love Jul, Becca, Pris & Annie too!! Heehee....

We had a simple but wonderful dinner - Sakae Sushi.
i had 4 plates & 1 chawanmushi, Karin the same as me, and YingWei 2 plates & 1 chawanmushi.
Both WeiWei and i had the normal crab meat chawanmushi, while Karin wanted something different and ordered the Tori chawanmushi. Different indeed. She waited 40 min juz to eat that!! haha. The waitress made us wait for 15 min at first. But when it was almost 20 min past, we called her again and she told us to wait for another 15 to 20 min. OMG!!! Really admire Karin for her patience. She juz craved to eat THAT! But OK lah... managed to get a taste of the "precious" delicacy. Haha.. :)

Good Nitez my DarlinGs!!

4-D 'Miss'-fortune

2007-05-07T21:23:00.000+08:00

Recently, I've posted in one of my entries about this number "1102" which i saw on 2 car plates on my Mother's birthday. (See MuMMy'S BiRthDay DiNNeR)

I've mentioned that i'd buy 4-D for this number b'cos it's my IC no. and i was very lucky to see 2 cars with this number at almost the same time. And i DID buy this HoLy "1102".

I'd wanted to buy as i-bet but my mum convinced me to buy juz the exact number so that i'd win more if the number strikes. Thanx to my Mum, "1102" came in 1st prize BUT in another order!!! Damned it!!! I'd have won if i never listen to my mum!!! :(

Winter Wear Sale!

2007-05-01T22:09:00.000+08:00

Why am i so unlucky? Mum and i decided to go South Bridge Road to Fook On 福安 to buy some Winterwear for my Aussie trip. Guess wat?! We got lost after walking out from Qlarke Quay MRT station. haiyo....

Instead of walking towards our destination, we saw Chinatown Point... OMG! That's the opposite direction! :( Since we were at Chinatown, we went to People's Park Complex to shop. i was quite disappointed for not able to fulfil my aim of the day.

As i walked around and passed the travel agencies, something big caught my eyes, "D&G". haha... not Dolce&Gabbana... but Design&Comfort. it's a shop selling shoes!
The sales girl there was rather rude. Giving 'black' face and not willing to serve us. Totally spoilt my mood. Argh! But i still set my eyes on a pair of boots. Not bad actually.... :) too bad it's not white. haha...

$48.90 after discount

Think this pair of boots brought me luck. B'cos my dad called juz after i paid for my lovely boots, saying that he's coming to pick us up and bring us to the Winterwear shop. :)

Juz as Minister Lee said about the importance of customer service, there again, the shop owners were horrible. Arrogant and impolite...
Still, i manage to get what i wanted. A jacket, 2 sweaters, a set of long johns & 2 pairs of socks for juz $163.60! Cheap Cheap Cheap... if not for the Sale, i won't buy anything at all... Cannot stand the owners of the shop... They think we can't afford to buy!!!!
