2009-01-22T00:42:00.004+08:00

hehehehe... check this out!!!

http://www.cityalive.sg/

It's Singapore Biggest Street Dance Party! 31 Jan 2009, 9pm - 3am.

There would be celebrities dancing and more imptly Funkamania as one of the highlight :D
What is funkamania? http://www.funkamania.sg/final.php
It is an annual inter-tertiary hip hop dance competition organised by NUS i think...

i've watch the "floor-the-love" competition - organised by SMU emix last year where hip hop dancers from korean and singapore come together to have a friendly dance battle - and i was totally stunned by it... this would be even better. >.<

a dance battle comes in single or duet. single dance battling is where 2 dancers stand opposite each other and "battle" each other. a random song would be played and the dancer has to take turns to dance. the point here is to be interactive with the other dancer across the floor... dance battling could come in many different dance style, like: hip hop, locking, popping, B-boys. what i found most interesting and challenging about dance battling is that it is all impromp-tu (is it spelt like that?) (on-the-spot). dancers have to be creative and got to have a good rythmic-sense to impromp-tu within the usual 45-60secs that they are given... i find it really amazing and cool when the dancers could dance like its a choerographed dance. i had seen it in "floor the love" which made me WOW...esp my idol!

im so going for cityalive... and the president of emix got into the finalist for Funkamania. im so going to support her:))) although im still broke.....

anyway, i vomitted jus now :((( its cramp again... damn pain laa... i keep having cold sweat and keep vomitting... have to rely on panadol again... :((( i hope tml will be better...

2009-01-20T20:12:00.003+08:00

hohohoho... i miss beyond... i having some kind of post-production blues...

i had spent 24-48 hours tgt with dancers, suddenly feel lost without seeing them...

i had spend 0 hour with sch work & textbooks, suddenly feel so foreign with them...

there are many SMU events this month... im so broke that i dont feel like participating in any! T.T

2009-01-18T22:05:00.008+08:00

i felt soooo loved by all friends who came to support for the concert ytd :D

so many of u do not realli understand dance but still came for me. Great Thanks to all my dearest friends, your support meant alot to me.

MUACK <333>

Thank you!!!

2009-01-14T20:07:00.003+08:00

everyday is a busy day! i seriously need to do some time management to my life. hur~ since the start of the sem, i have been rushing for everything... i really got bad time management.
2 assignment due on monday - one to write a textbook on "parallel struture", and one stats assignment. both are graded la, if not i wouldnt care... but im having dance tml from 11am till 10pm, fri and sat also whole day dance. omg... i need more time.

tml it would be the first time we are trying out the dance at victoria theatre! :)))would have to do alot of lightings and stage marking. heh.. and it would be a more complete feel of the real concert. so far we have been having practices almost every other day, dancing again and again, cleaning up steps and videoing to see for ourselves the mistakes we make. it feels like syf to me. actually i like this process cos its when everyone spend alot of time tgt and bond. and also to gossip... heh. it also reminds me of syf in css and pj. i really miss times we spent dancing till 9+ before the sch closes in pjc. although i still dont really like our core cheorgrapher and the dance he cheorgraphs, i really miss the dancers... whaha..

anyway, for this sem all my classes so far are all okay. i dont especially like or dislike any lesson... actually this sounds bad to me... have i lost interest or something??? omg... okay, i do alittle dislike the module [management communication] its about writing memo, business official letters...
1. it requires alot alot of class participation
2. the class has 2 girl i dislike cos they are super aggressive at class participation (inother words: teacher's pet)
3. it requires alot of arguing and persuading power, which i sux at
4. alot of assignments
5. class is at school of business and there is no food there!
6. only 10 out of 40 are guys in the class.

hehe... the last reason is invalid.
the rest of the modules are relatively okay. just all of them are reading intensive! means i gotta read up alot. and one super irritating and heart breaking thing is that i spent $150 on books this sem!!! HEART PAIN sia... now declared BANKRUPT
who wants to donate $$ to me??? :D

2009-01-12T00:54:00.002+08:00

5 more days to indancity's production
im feeling so excited.
i hope everything runs smoothly,
hope dancers dance their 101%
hope audience enjoy
!!!

-i got morning class tml :(-

2009-01-04T02:29:00.002+08:00

happy new year.

i cant believe sch is starting... i hate this.

i have not finished enjoying my holiday.

and im hitting the twenties soon!

i jus came back from my uni ct class bbq at ecp. about 12 out of 40 turned up. quite a disappointment... those who turned up are always the same faithful bunch of ppl hehe...i had quite a great time being the "butter girl" and roasting golden mashmallow! whoohoo...
we played indian poker, and truth and dare... how i wish this can go on and on... and then one of the guy drove the girls home :) save up on cab fees. *ppl who drive and has car rox!*

well, tml im have dance for 8 hours straight.! 2pm to 10pm. think i will die. and monday, face the reality, sch starts
monday: morning 830am lesson, 330pm lesson, 7pm dance
BOO .... i hate mondays... i have to stay in sch for 14 hours straight...
i dread mondays....... :'((

2008-12-18T22:25:00.003+08:00

i cant wait... for my next tuition pay. for xmas party. for xmas night. for new year!!!

i cant wait for indancity concert. for emix performance.!!!

my fren showed me a newspaper article reporting on zoukout that day. i felt disgusted... the article shows photos of ppl making out, with a woman sitting on top of a man in the middle of the beach. ppl vomitting and peeing on the beach. to make things worst, they pee and vomit beside ppl who are passed out.
what's happening to every1.
and me?

zzzzzzzz.......... im broke....................... and feeling no mood for everything.

maybe except for skippy...

tao me...

2008-12-14T20:55:00.003+08:00

one fren ask me to say "expecto patronum!"
i ask y?
my fren: to dispel bad thoughts.
my fren: to think happy thoughts.

haha ya i will. say that a hundred times, a thousand times.
to dispel all the bad thoughts i keep having.

another fren ask: are you sad?
me: yes...

2008-12-12T00:22:00.003+08:00

woohoo... i finally cut my hair with ivy lee today.
a little too short for my fringe, but i like the way the hairdresser treated my hair.
he treated my hair like some precious jewel, with lots of care;
he concentrated really hard when cutting my hair. like their service too. lol!

then we ate lunch, ate chippy, bubble tea. high fats content!!!!!!

after that, i ate crocodile meat and turtle meat with my CT class!
*super duper high fats content!*
oh ya. my first time!
croco meat was like fish meat, but a lot tougher.
turtle meat is more tender and a little like chicken.
not bad... $15 for a decent meal at sembawang. :)))
there nice chicken wings, satays, crabs, frog legs there too!
and then we went MAcs to chit chat, where i ate apple pie some more...
omg... im so super full now... and i spent alot of $$ today...zzz

anyway i reached home before 12am, and realised im all alone at home. dont know where my parents went and they are uncontactable. owells, i made an effort to reach home early already.
hehe, i think my mum is really SMART. she knows me well...
bcos for the past few days, i have been going home past 12. went clubbing with yaya and ivy they all and reached home at 4+am, arts bash reached home 7am...
well, my mum didnt like it at all. but she didnt nag, neither did she scold me. she jus came into my room in the morning and said " i waited for you till 3+am, you know?" and she has work the next day. she left my guilty conscience to prick on me... smart right?
haha, she knows that scoldings and naggings do not work on me.
well, i have also lost interest in clubbing so i will jus stay as a good mummy girl :D. for period. hee.

2008-12-09T22:56:00.003+08:00

oh man, i had my first indancity concert's practice on monday.
the day right after my 42km marathon!!!
and the dance practice was freaking 5 hours long... 1pm to 6pm.
oh wells, i managed to survive it.
i could hardly walk properly, but when dancing, i forgot all about the pain.
i also dont know how i can still dance...haha

the first prac was super duper hiong!!! they taught finished the whole dance piece to us already.
think it is a 3 minutes long dance...
and its really very very physical demanding.
more demanding than the marathon?
after the whole dance, all of us are panting heavily.
and i could feel every parts of my lower body aching.
PAIN pain PAIN...
only left 3 more dance practice or so to our concert already.
im hope i can dance well...
they only gave 4 practices for us. im so afraid i cant learn fast enough...

anyway, im so tanned now.. :(( cos of the marathon...
though the sun was not really strong, but i get tan easily.
should have applied sunblock lotion man. haha.

2008-12-08T09:35:00.010+08:00

shiok~
finished the standard chart 42km in one piece
but now my leg is super weak and i could hardly walk
first time i feel that my leg is not mine...
first time i ran so much...

i think the marathon is one that tested my physical rather than mental.
at the 30km mark, i could feel the sharp pain on my knees and swollen foot.
could see most of the runners walking instead of running already...
every extra mile seems extra extra hard to cross.
ppl relied much on the free deep heat rub, bananas, energy gel and 100 plus...hehe
and i relied on fren's encouragements and songs on the way..
i felt like a super litter bug,
cos after drinking or eating, every1 would throw the cups, banana skin along the road...
the rubbish amounted was "woah"
at the 35km mark, many ppl were already half limping or trying hard to walk properly
i wondered how ppl in the past survive without transport???
however, at 40km mark, most ppl used their remaining strength to finish the marathon
it was a sight that i found very encouraging...
every1 saw what they had been walking loong for!

wells, i wont participate in 42km marathon again.
once is enough!!! heh

pictures are out!

the guy beside me looks constipated. heh...:P

2008-12-04T12:24:00.005+08:00

2008-10-24T01:47:00.006+08:00

opps, i forgot to mention, there is a discount for early bird for indancity dance concert.
its originally $18 - good seats
$13 - not so good seats

discount for early birds $13 - good seats (before fri 1159 and limited to first 100 people)

thanks ching and ivy for support! <3 love yous!
so i go ahead and buy early bird tix for u ya?

31 oct is halloween, do u know? there is quite a few halloween party that i know of. one at zouk, one at marina bay, and one organised by smu school of economics. im looking forward to 31 Oct. :D

anyway, recently, im so addicted to a korean drama. COFFEE PRINCE. its very nice. the main cast is the girl who acted in GonG. she dressed up like a guy as she needed a job urgently and one of the job requirement is for her to be a male. eventually, the boss fell in love with her, however not knowing that she is a female, he declared that he is a gay... the story line is quite cliche but its the details that i enjoy.

i jus had dance classes till 11pm... so tired. anyway, my choerographer is really a very amusing and good dance teacher. :)))
interestingly, he told us that many of the movements for contempoary dance actually came from men and women when they are having sex. like body contractions and expansions, reflexes... etc. i have no idea if he is trying to bluff us or not, but it does make sense... haha!
i will go and research and find out if this is true one day...

i need to say this before i go and sleep... ... ...
i finished 2 presentation today!!!

2008-10-17T23:21:00.004+08:00

im so so so glad that i survived this week. pat myself on the shoulders already :D

this week was a totally crazy week for me. 2 exams + project execution + essay.

especially ytd night, i was on the verge of breaking down la. i had an essay that due fri 12 noon and i only started researching for articles at 11pm on thurs night. i had to find 4 different sources, online journal, books...to support my point and write a 5 page essay on it sia. im so damn lucky that i can find my sources in time and so proud to finish at 5am. HAHA, though the quality of my essay is like shit. anyway, im so tired now! both physically and mentally.

my dance trainings are getting tougher and tougher man. after every dance training i can feel every part of my body aching la... and on the following day after dance, i will feel extra restless. i will need super extra sleep and rest to keep myself alert...but i dont want to give up like that... somehow, i still look forward to every dance prac...

next week wont be any better for me... got 4 projects to complete. all projects just cramp in a single week. sick man.

hai, i know im so full of complains. but i cant help it... ! crazy smu lifestyle, i dont like it at all. everyday chiong here and there, not enough sleep, no proper meal, i feel damn unhealthy, think this will cause me to die earlier sia... lol...

enough of my complains. i've got an event to look forward to...

Indancity first dance concert :))) that's y training is so hiong. :)

anyone interested to buy tix from me??? it is worth the $, trust me :D

its on 16 and 17 Jan 09, tix price at $13 and $18. victoria concert hall.

2008-10-13T18:32:00.003+08:00

i just had my very first exam. and i think i did badly...! zzz...

email from emix... showing extreme displeasure with dancers who are low-in-attendence-without-valid-reasons, which is ME! they said that they may take those people out of the cca if we continue. hai, so i decided to stay for dance. got to make a special trip down to plaza sing to buy shirt and pants and socks...
after that i headed for the library. i walked around the school library at least 3 times with one fren of mine, and we cant find a single empty seat! the library is super packed. that exactly shows the smugging-spirit of smu..zz
after combing the fourth level of the library for the fourth time, then found 2 separate seats... damn cold in the library~

2008-10-12T17:49:00.005+08:00

online shopping rocks my life once again...
weird ya, i visit town everyday but i shop online. love the feeling of receiving wrapped up packages...

im having biz law exam tml morning and im still shopping online. what's wrong with me?! i isolated myself in my room for the entire day, forced myself hard to study man, i even gave up the chance to go double-o with chenwei and gang ytd night :( eee... exam stress :(
this week gonna be a stressful week for me. exams + 1 essay due this fri... i promise myself, gonna let loose after this. whhee... wait for me kay, FRIDAY!

anyway, 3 good news that kept me alive. i just received my tuition pay. whee... $900 at a go man, cos the girl owe me last month tuition fee. whaha... im feeling so loaded. and, i got selected!!! i got selected as part of the committee to lead a group of smu student to ocip in vietnam in next year june. im so damn lucky as i thought i did badly for the interview. phew~ and, my eye candy did something nice ytd ytd. for me, of course :p

3 tiny packages of happiness to last me till FRIDAY!...

2008-10-11T00:28:00.002+08:00

its SATURDAY = end of mid term break!
oh no... what did i do during mid term break ar? play play play, sleep sleep sleep, and study?
i studied on monday, though it doesnt seem enough to cover half of my exam!
tuesday project meeting
wed went sch and then zouk with mich...
thurs sleep sleep sleep and then dance
fri sleep sleep sleep and meet with laika, ching, huiyi, hui :D
im left with two days... omg, time flies man...

i dont know what's wrong with msn. there is some ppl whom i dont know and whom dont know me, added me on msn. im so frighten its like some prank again la... cos of the 3 NS guys who tricked me. anyway, i started talking to a guy, he is in poly now, (i forgot his name), and he kept sharing his sex experience with me... he said he had 7 different partners already and kept telling me some "terms" and "stuff" which i dont quite understand... at first i wanted to google it la.. but on second thought i think it quite dumb, so i jus pretend that i understood...at first, conversation with him was quite funny, as the things he did are quite daring and i will jus go "omg".., but ya the stuff he talked about got really gross after a while...i cant believe theres such ppl staying on the same earth as me...i feel really disgusted lei...

i really quitted online shopping... until recently, i found one web i really like! HEE... check this out: http://loulouinvades.livejournal.com/

2008-10-05T00:28:00.003+08:00

yaYYYY!!! my mid term break is finally here... whoohoo...
i dont mind mugging during mid term break. at least there is a break
i love next week. :)

i went hope church with my gang of church mates today. really had a good catch up with all of them. i miss all the days i had in church with my gang of frens...

suddenly, it feels like everyone is heading in different directions in life... not jus my church mates. my pri sch best fren cass, sec sch frens ching laika hui huiyi, jc frens s22 gang, dance buddies.
sometimes on emotional days, i really hope to hang on to these frens, guess im already too comfortable with these groups of frens; dont feel like making new frens all over again...
but everyone has to move on, dont they? new frens all over again. it has been like this since pri sch. sec sch. jc. and now uni. sometimes i wonder... if only we can stick together forever... i guess we cant ya? :(
sadly, we cant. i have to adapt. we all have to adapt to changes.

though we are no longer the same, no longer have a goal to work towards tgt, we still have beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime. today, i spent the whole evening with my church mates talking about tiny little bits of our past. i cant believe i have known them for more than 10 years. since pri 1, we have been fooling around tgt...
oh man, i feel so old now.

2008-10-02T21:02:00.001+08:00

so tired... i cant wait for mid term break...!

2008-09-29T23:10:00.004+08:00

OH NO!
i just sum up my expenses for this month and its more than $1300!!! I spent more than $600 on school stuff la... freshmen bash, outings, school books, laptop bag, NUS dance concert, dance funds... and the rest on birthdays, BBQ, Kbox, lunches, dinners...OMG!!! im so going to be broke in less than two months time if this continues... so, im going to save up BIG TIME. no more expensive food. no more subways. no more buying of books. hope at least next month i can cut down my expenses to $500???

anyway i look forward to tml and wed... rest for me. no lessons tml and public holiday on wed. i need a break! SCREAM THIS TO SMU...
i just realised most of my frens msn nick are similar... "busy busy busy" or "tired tired tired" or "give me more time time time"...
its the result of uni life... not as stress as JC, but even more competitive and busy... every1 in SMU is a mugger, study day and night la. guess that's why they go crazy when it comes to play.
i need to play soon...zzz. i feel distant from my family. from God. i feeling tired of this already. its only week 7...

anyway, photos of 06s22 outing is uploaded on my facebook. go tag yrself!

2008-09-23T22:09:00.008+08:00

cass started helping me at around 4pm, putting curlers onto my hair, chitchatting... and we only realised its 530 when my date called me and told me he was downstairs already! it was havoc lor, as everything was not done, but we manage to finish everything by 6pm... hurhur...

he picked me up from cass house and we were supposingly only 5 min car ride away from fullerton hotel. but his bother didnt know the way around and we took 40min to reach there... and my date, sy, was suppose to perform at 630 but we only reach around 645? i think sy is a really nice guy, his brother kept turning the wrong way but sy didnt complain or blame him sia... :) anyway, his name is sung yang. he is a taiwanese. he studies music in NAFA, plays violin and piano, dad is a musician and also a pastor. that's how his dad knows my dad and ya, how i came to the ball with him... anyway, we were late but he still performed with one of his fren. he played the violin while his buddy played the piano... they were good !

after that we had a photoshot... it was cool lah... a professional photographer company were at the reception of the ball to help each couple to take photos. we had to take a few couples pictures together and also a few individual shots... and they would give us for free... :)

we proceeded into the grant ballroom for our FOOD... the 5 dishes served up was very nice, i enjoyed the dessert most! while we were having our food, we had performances and activities lined up... it was interesting... i got to see the video of 9 months training for the OCS cadets, saw how their bunks are like, how their trainings in taiwan and brunei were...
For the activities, couples were called up on stage to have a mini competition of MTV dance style and bolliwood dance style. the guy and his date had to dance around a tree ( the MC) with a really classic indian song...! super funny! they had presentation and speeches by their different wings too... was really good. i wasnt bored at all... sung yang was there to explain to me about what they did, what this and that meant also... oh ya! the funniest thing of all was a surprise performance by all the officer cadets! they had a mass dance where all the guys, in their no.2 uniform, form a circle around the whole ballroom and danced together! it was funny :p

after the whole event was past 12 already... sung yang and i with his buddy and his date walked to merlion, took alot of pictures, and then we headed back home. i think sung yang was a gentleman... ocs is successful in their training (he said they were taught how to be a gentleman), he sent me to my door step and even apologised to my dad for bring me home late... haha, sound so traditional right? :)

one regret is that i didnt bring camera...

2008-09-18T22:49:00.006+08:00

i love my mama... she so randomly asked me to go shopping with her on tues. as i have no lessons, so i went with her. and, she so randomly bought me a SK diamond necklance. she says it is my birthday present in advance...but my birthday is so far aways la... think she is finding excuse to buy me a present! :p

oh man, the pictures are so blur...camera...!

2008-09-15T23:19:00.005+08:00

yay, i just signed up for standard chartered 42km run with my camp mates... going to start training soon...!
got a free jersey from smu too

i seriously need to save up soon... food in smu is expensive! i spent on an average $8 a day on food! the food in Kou Fu has an average price of $4... cheapest around $2.50? and most expensive around $8? and the only proper food around are Kou Fu, Kopitiam and subway. the rest Mr bean, Toast, Mr Tea are not filling at all. think i need start bring food to school soon... :(
i miss pjc food............

ytd i handed up my assignment late. dont know what will happen man! it was due 1159, while i submitted online at 1203... 4 mins late only, but the turnitin system showed a bright red LATE for my assignment. shit la, hope i wont be marked down a grade... !
---tired after dance---

2008-09-13T23:36:00.007+08:00

i feel so sinful today. first time a guy spent so much on me(other than my dad)... i heard from my seniors that its a tradition in OCS to buy a dress for the lady they invited... ya, the guy whom im going to the commissioning ball with, bought a formal dress for me and a matching shoe for over 200 bucks... think the ticket cost a few hundreds too. i heard tt he helped me to booked a make-up artist too...mus have cost a bomb... i didnt even spent so much during prom night...

but ya i love the dress (i chose it), its maroon in colour, nice under the light :) my lousy hp camera cant really capture the dress...

anyway, i went kbox with the OFFICE LADIES in abacus capital today. was really shiok! long time since i met up with them. my nicest manager (Kit), lovable accountant (Sheereen), cutest ex-secretary (Mabel), ex-AFM (Eliz), and dearest ting(temp staff)

i miss being with them, just talking rubbish and relaxing :)

dearest ting and me

rest of the pictures are not with me... :)

2008-09-12T23:18:00.006+08:00

i slept 12 hours ytd. IM SO HAPPY! :)
it is to compensate for ~4 hours sleep the past few days

anyway, i came up with a new product for my creative thinking class today.
its an improvisation of a mouse. its called a SENSE-IT-RING (or "i can sense you"). its a ring which u can wear it on your index and middle finger. when u want to click something, the ring can sense the strength exerted and will click on yr laptop screen. whereas when u wan to scroll, jus make a gentle scrolling movement and the ring can sense it. so, u dont have to use a mouse nor a keypad sense. no more finger cramp. no more inconvinence. it can be a fashion tool too... mayb you can see it in the market in 6 yrs time, designer - FLORENCE HO!!! whaha... wishful thinking on my part

i got to create a visual map too... shit la! no more creative juices in my brain anymore. how? mayb i should go to the seaside or forest to get inspiration... anyway, i like my creative thinking project group. everyone click well. mayb its because creative thinking is one of the subjects where everyone dont have to compete with each other in class; our grades are dependence on class project, so everyone has to work together. i like it.

im so in a good mood today. mayb its bcos i got 12 hours of sleep today. haha.

2008-09-11T19:47:00.004+08:00

HEY! CHECK THese WEB SITEs OUT:
1. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/101-gadgets-that-changed-the-world-398535.html
2. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/brain/#
my prof shared with us during Creative Thinking today... i find them interesting...

The second web shows which parts of our brain is connected to diff parts of our bodies, and the first web shows how things are created. Esp stuff like Battery and Condom...

And, i guess u didnt know how octopus mate:

When a male octopus spots a female, his normally greyish body suddenly becomes striped. He swims above the female and begins caressing her with seven of his arms. If she allows this, he will quickly reach toward her and slip his eighth arm into her breathing tube. A series of sperm packets moves slowly through a groove in his arm, finally to slip into the mantle cavity of the female.

It was part of my assignment. Heehee...

oh, i got into a hilarious situation recently... (stupid yen sun kept laughing at me lah) due to many unexplainable reasons, i got to go to a OCS commissioning ball with my tuition girl's brother. hope it's fun...

anyway, i just cut my hair, i find it too short. hope it will grow faster tonight...zzz

2008-09-11T00:59:00.005+08:00

yay, i got a new laptop skin and laptop bag today :D

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Initially a really nice purple skin with streaks of baby pink and white strips caught my eyes. i really love it lah, but its $32 :(... So i search and dig and search, and found this red and white skin which cost only $15 :) there are alot other cute and chio designs. Go check it out people! its at Sim Lim square :D

I also gotten a new shock proof laptop case for $19.90 and a keyboard protector for $6.90. Now my laptop is all dressed up and protected man! :):):)

2008-09-09T00:13:00.004+08:00

Phew, i need a break man. Everything seems to fly past, i cant seem to be able to stop and savour moments of uni life!

I have been physically drained recently. cos i joined two dance ccas(4 dance lessons a week!) indancity(modern dance) and emix (hip hop dance). i had dance practices everyday from sat ... emix audition followed by indancity prac followed by emix prac and followed by indancity prac again on wed. oh man, i think my muscules are tearing apart! The exercises they do are alot more vigorous than my previous dance ccas. 120 crutches, pull ups, jumps, leaps every warm up lesson leh! i feel like quitting one cca man. but just feel pity as it was hard to get through their auditions. For emix, they chose 30+ freshmen out of 110+... and hip hop lessons cost <$50 per 8 sessions outside ya... while mine is $10 per term. heehee... quit ? dont quit? quit? dont quit?

How i wish smu has hostel, so i dont have to travel to and fro (2hr!!!) everyday.
i so dont like to squeeze with the morning crowd everyday.

How i wish smu has travelator, so i dont have to carry my 1.9kg damn laptop and walk from one school to another school everyday.

HAI~, my greatest wish for today is:
TO HAVE MORE SLEEP! zZz...

2008-09-04T00:14:00.004+08:00

heyy... i jus went indancity's 2nd AGM (annual-general-meeting). i think i like it. i've decided i shall stay on this cca. yea, dancing is my life! indancity is a modern dance. somehow different from pjc modern dance. it requires alot more techniques like splitting, pointing and emotion. quite similar to the syf dance piece in commonwealth chinese dance :) and i love it man! the ppl there are all very nice but they are short of guys. as usual... guys are mostly attracted to the hip hop dance and the ballroom dance lah...

i think im finally getting used to uni life.
im finally participating in class. i feel a sense of achievement, you know. i raised my hand more than 10 times for my biz law class. im so proud. :D
i finally gotten my ez-link card. i can buy concession = cheaper transportation fare
i finally decided on a cca.
i finally gotten a laptop bag.
i finally gotten a locker.
i finally found a gym partner.
i finally went to smu library. (nice)
i finally stop getting lost in school.
feeling so contented today. :)
i just love THURSDAYS!

2008-09-03T11:55:00.008+08:00

omg im having a mental block. im supposed to write this essay now but i cant think of any ideas. how do youths mark their identities?

anyway, its only third week, but my projects have all started. almost all mod has a project, except academic writing. which is worst, where i eventually have to write a 10 pages long essay. im supposed to have only a 3 day week, but i ended up having a 7 day week... i ended up having to come back school for projects even on sat and sun. :( how sad can my life be...

oh, i got into indancity (dance-in-the-city) their audition was rather scary. those who went were tested one by one on how good their jumps/leaps are. we had to leap across the dance floor one by one. followed by the audition piece and a 1 min free style. glad i got through. next im gonna try eurhythmix. a hip hop dance. wish me luck...!

2008-08-30T21:39:00.009+08:00

2008-08-24T23:56:00.007+08:00

oh...i decided to drop my primary 4 tuition kid today.
i sent the kid's dad a 3 text long sms...

"Hi, i think i will be getting more busy as my school term starts, and i wont have time to commit and continue tutoring jorden. however, i can continue to tutor jorden till you found another teacher for him...i feel so sorry and with regrets that i cant continue to be his teacher as i enjoyed tutoring jorden. i will continue to tutor him for 1 more month. is that okay?"

anyway, that's his photo (i took quite long ago)...

my tuition kid is cute at many times, very smart and good to me. his maid always provide dinner for me, and he always share all kind of nice food and toys he has with me...sad that i gotta drop him :(

2008-08-23T01:09:00.003+08:00

heyy, VIVACE was crowded. SMU with a small population and small campus actually has over a 100 cca(s). what a headache! i dont know which cca to join. there are 5 diff kind of dance groups(Modern, Hip hop, Latin, Ballroom, Ballet) *not counting Indian and Malay dance groups* im also interested in SMUX - skating, biking... and track team, volleyball, frisbee... OMG, so many.
Well, but up till now, my upmost priorities are 1.INDANCITY (modern dance) and 2.SMUX SKATING.
mayb i will join both...heehee

i went for my first lesson for facilitation and counselling. it was a diff kind of FEEL. it involves studies and understanding of human behaviour, inclined towards social sciences. i find it rather relevant, and it kind of aroused my interest...
however, im caught in a dilemma.
the class consists of 90% of year 3 students, im one of the exception, probably one and only year 1 student in the class. i feel kind of worried and scare; every1 is experienced, im the only noob. i feel that its inevitable that some problems may surface... like lets say communication problem?
what's on my mind now be: which cca to join. while what's on their mind now may be: which company to join for internship... they may have plenty of experiences to share about their CIP, peers evaluation, while i have none...
hai, am i thinking too much?
should i drop this course that i find interest in but have no sense of security in?
should i give it a try? ...
im feeling a little confuse. 2 choices i have to make.

2008-08-21T22:15:00.009+08:00

woots... i love my classes today. i love leadership & teambuilding, analytical skills & critical thinking. i love my prof!!! they rox man...
my prof for leadership & teambuilding is a fine lady and a realli nice pleasant lady. just love her <3
my prof for analytical skills is a burly man(ang moh) in his late fifties. he is cute, humourous and dramatic. he sings in the middle of the lesson and flirt with pretty girls in the class; he is some1 i can imagine as a womanizer when he was younger... but i still love him <3
as for my prof for creative thinking... she is some1 crazy. really crazy... she starts shouting one moment, starts acting as some imaginary character the other moment and disregard everyone else in the class(she was once an actress, you see)... but her lessons are nothing but live entertainment. <3
I LOVE THURSDAYS

anyway the courses im taking on for this sem are:

1. Business Law (pre-assigned) :( :(
2. Academic Writing (pre-assigned) :(
3. Leadership & Teambuilding (pre-assigned) :)
4. Analytical skills & Creative Thinking :)
5. Intro to Stats
6. Facilitation and Counselling Skills (tml will be my 1st lesson) (0.5 mod)

im taking 5.5 mod in total. its advisable for freshmen to take only 4 mod. with a max of 6.5 mod. i think im gonna be a good girl, listen to advice and drop one mod(LOL)... most prob its Intro to Stats. cos its boring!

anyway, i forgot to mention, Academic Writing sux! its a money-sucking-subject lor. im pre assigned that cos my GP got D :( the story is: i was STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to take up additional courses that cost $20 per course! and with every course i take up, it will upgrade my Academic Writing grades. they are just trying to suck my $$$. and the max i can take is 4 course. which is $20 x 4 = $80
which means, if i get C+ and i take up 4 courses ($80), my grades will be "upgraded" to A-! (C+ to B- to B to B+ to A-) WOAH! its like using $ to buy my grades! SUX MAN!

yea, of course i can choose to be stubborn and dont take up any courses, but come on, it means my grades are at stack. SO, THEY ARE INDIRECTLY TELLING ME TO CHOOSE BTW MY GRADES AND MY $$$. which are both precious to me! they are so cunning, insidious, sly... im considering reporting them to the DEAN's lah...heehee nah im joking, i dont wan my name to be well known to all during my first year in SMU :p
but, im feel so INDIGNIFY! :( i cant bear with my $$$... HAHA

BUSINESS LAW IS TOUGH. i freaking hate all the law terms. i do admire the law students now. how can they stand all the technical law terms??? its confusing for such a small-brain person like me. and to argue your way throu... yea to some ppl, its really interesting...but i guess i cant score well...so it SUX.

anyway, SMU system is really diff from JC. we do not have lectures nor tutorials. its all seminar style, with lots of participation and real class participation. good thing is that i have a lower chance of feeling tired, will not fall asleep and do feel engaged during the classes. bad thing is that i still dont dare to shout out my inner feelings to everyone...im still trying...so that i dont lose out on 10%-20% of my class participation marks!

okay lah, enough of me complaining and rattling. im still happy with my THURSAYS :D
heehee. tml is VIVACE - CCA openhouse... i guess its gonna be exciting

anyway, a joke by my prof...
.
.
.
prof's wife: honey, im feeling so depressed.

prof: what is wrong, my dear?

prof's wife: i looked into the mirror and see my breast sagging, wrinkles forming around my eyes. pls give me some word of comfort...

prof: you have a good eye sight.
.
.
.
heehee, so naughty right... tsk tsk!

2008-08-20T21:36:00.005+08:00

i hate today...

2008-08-19T12:08:00.004+08:00

i was super duper lost on my first day of sch. everything seems and sounds so foreign to me. firstly, i have no sense of direction, no good idea of where the buildings for diff schools are. secondly, i brought only a pen and a paper to sch. thirdly, i made no preparation for any of my class. OMG, 3 big mistakes!!!
my first class was BIZ LAW. i was supposed to print some article and prepare b4hand which i didnt...so i was lost throughout the class. to make things worst, i was constantly bombarded with the new law terms...zzz... *its a good thing i didnt take law*
next lesson was academic writing. its plain and boring. just another GP lesson with essays. i got an assignment to hand up next friday already! :(
my last class was intro to stats. it was boring too. the prof was lame but not funny at all. i didnt bring my laptop which was a big disadvantage, BOO...and worst of all, i got lost in the school campus while trying to find my way from sch of econs to sch of biz.
first day of school was no good...

on a happier note, i have no sch today. second day of school rox.

2008-08-17T09:14:00.009+08:00

hey guys, im back from my last camp on friday and had school convacation ytd~

my last camp (FTB) was fantastic! yea, the night b4 the camp i was still complaining to jon and was dreadfully unwilling to go. but it was great. though it was the last run and it was the run with MOST international students, i had fun :D
my group have 3 international students. 1 from sri lanka and 2 from indonesia. hey ppl, im not being racism kay... i just cant click well with them that much. but those 3 intl guys from my group rox man! haha. anyway, FTB is very alike to the leadership OBS i went in pjc. lots of activities to complete, with a faci to oversee the group where we go through the diff stages of bonding as a group. i guess my group did bond on the last day. glad i went...
and right after FTB, i had to rush to cwp to do some last min shopping! cos ytd was convacation. we had to wear long sleeve white blouse, black bottoms and black covered shoes at suntec convection hall... Convacation was kind of boring and took up the whole my day... zzz...
anyway, it was ivy lee's birthday ytd. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GIRL!!! <3 <3 <3 *yay, gonna meet up with the babes(ivy, xue, ching) later on!!!*
ohya, i watched Meet Dave ytd. it was funny. hee, i had a really good laugh. worth watching i think.

i cant believe sch is starting tml. OMG... im not prepared!!!
anyway, im so tan now, i HATE IT! argh!!!

2008-08-12T09:28:00.004+08:00

i feel like a little girl given a huge fluffy pink cotton candy...
he called me ytd. we talked for 1 hour plus. he made plans for us.
i feel scare to expect more...
i know when the feeling is there...
but i dont know if im ready for one.
i do like cotton candy... :)

2008-08-11T21:11:00.008+08:00

wah, my last day in abacus capital keeps dragging. from 31 july to 4 Aug to 11 Aug... and now to 12 Aug. which means, i still have to work tml!!! WTH... i dread working... the only reason i agree to go for work is bcos of my poor manager who still cant find a replacement for secretary position...HELLO, people out there who wants to be a senior secretary(with experience) pls contact me kays'! i wanted to leave early one lor. i wanted to leave behind the best impression(while i can), but now i dont think i can anymore... cos im slacking everyday during work and i give the heck-care attitude...argh!

2008-08-11T14:44:00.014+08:00

HeY! some PICs, my SMUX grp! :D

SMU famous jUmPsS!

and more... JUMPS!

*YUM YUM* field cooking...

2008-08-10T21:36:00.003+08:00

hey guys, im back from my second camp. its totally awesome! :D $50 is worth for SMUX camp. everyday was full of activities and fun. woots... i even lost 2 kg, great slimming program..heehee...and no clubbing and drinking involved!

1st day, we started off with some games such as tag of war, laser gun war blah blah (not stupid dirty games that involve chicken or peanut butter like the first camp! ) then, went rollar blading in afternoon and ice skating in the night. the ice skating was super cool! SMUX book the whole Jurong ice skating ring from 10pm till 2am! so it was all SMUX campers. we played games on the ice and form one LONG human chain. then we went changi to pitch our tents and sleep...zZz...2nd day was yet another exciting day. biking for 3 hours, followed by diving, snorkeling and underwater hockey. diving was really a very fun activity. i had difficulty remembering to breath through my mouth at first, but eventually got used to it and started doing dumb stuff underwater...hee...shall not tell u more :P...then, my super enthu group went out to bencooleen road to have supper till 5am and saw our freaking bill of $120!!!... ah, so my last day was super tired. i only had 3 hours of slp lor and next went fort canning park for amazing race and then followed by hiking from MacRitchie to Bukit Timah... 10km long leh!!! i think it was supposed to be 2 hours long, but due to our slowness it dragged till 4 hours long... haha...on the way, we had fruit hunting- we found durians and rambutans and ate on our way! i had a great time *woots... but im so very tanned now :( skin rashing too :(... i want to join SMUX as an CCA very badly leh, but that means 1.giving up dance 2.expensive!(one diving course cost $400+)......urgh

anyway, i've gotten my timetable for first sem... i guess mine is consider rather good, only having lessons on mon, wed and thurs :) and no night class... but all morning class...zzz... im still considering if i shall find a part time job on tue and fri... should i??? or take up more tuition classes??? ---ahhh! talking about tuition classes... i just scolded my tuition girl(the girl in MI) till she almost tear... (a little guilty), but im seriously worried for her... her "A" levels is only 3-4 months away? and she still cant grasp many basic concepts! i told her plenty of times to READ READ READ her lectures notes, but she kept doing papers and papers... she dont even know how to walk, she's already trying to run... HAIX~ i hope those ppl out there who are stressed up for "A"s can hold on... u guys can enjoy later on! like me :D lol...

after these two camps i went, i have more or less experienced SMU culture and people...i guess i can fit in, but it is not what i am like... they are alot more wild, daring, straight forward, funloving, open... i must say its diff from css or pjc culture. well, i will surely be influenced to fit in, but i wont go too extreme... im still the florence you know, dont worry! haha... (sometimes), i do love their straight forward-ness and open-ness, just seems to make things more simplify, and less complicated? haha, i shall find out more and tell u...

the next chapter of my life is just about to unfold... i hope frens i knew will stay with me throughout; i hope that as i make new frens, i do not lose my old frens... i really hope so...
keep in touch, plsss...

2008-08-04T15:24:00.005+08:00

most of my frens should be starting their first day of school today. nus, ntu... except me! im still at work lor, but not doing work... heehee

just came back from bondue camp! it was fun and INTERESTING. i see and hear alot of weird stuff, haha. on the 1st night we went geylang and visited the infamous street and i eye-witnessed the prostitutes- women all doll up, dressed in heels and revealed more than half of their bosom... some of them were rather pretty and young lah, i was wondering why didnt they go modeling??? there were a couple of streets full of women all lined up fishing for customers >.< two of the streets are with higher grade prostitute - being younger and some exotic! the scene was super dramatic lah. the guys in my group did an experiment for us to see... they walked down the street alone(as the prostitue would not approach them if we walk together in groups) while the girls followed from behind and watched. those prostitutes pulled onto the guys and refused to let them go lor. some pressed them bust onto the guys and one said:'' i can let u blow blow, sure you will like it!" (direct translation from chinese) the other said:"its real, feel it!" and more and more... it was really really dramatic, should see these for yrself! anyway, we were suppose to go to geylang for food appreciation! i tried their famous beancurb and timsum... yum yum really good :D gelyang is also worth visiting at night ya!
2nd night at the camp was yet another eye-opening day for me. i saw the wild life of smu, biz sch of smu i should say. the school is exactly like a club can. the guys in my room brought a total of more than 10 bottles of alcohol! volka itself there are 4 different flavours - peer, vanilla, raseberry, orginal... and there are rooms allocated for dancing(exactly like ZOUK) there is one room where its purely MAMBO and one for free style... my faci was so so so drunk he jumped on to the tables and danced like crazy~ the 2 china student in my group really had a culture shock.--- there are vomits on the floor, guys and girls drunk in the sch campus. difference is that the dance floor closed at 3pm instead of 4pm in zouk. Haha...
i didnt like what i saw, actually. alittle too wild for my liking. i do like clubbing, but not clubbing in a sch campus. zzz. i jus dont feel ease with it. *at least no smoking*... i saw why biz school is well known for clubbing. everyone seems comfortable with clubbing in a school, what's more clubbing in a club. i hope i wont be a hard core clubber like them....

anyway, im super excited for my next camp! the SMUX camp - where we get to go diving, skating, kayaking, biking, etc...!!! think it will be super FUN and i will be super tanned...

2008-07-24T21:04:00.002+08:00

yuppie, i have started to count down to my last day of work already - 31 July! 5 more working days only. i cant wait to stop working. i dont like the feeling of working everyday, 24 hours ticking past and yet no sense of achievement... working life should not be like that right? i went to smu career talk today, i really hope i can find a career(after i grad) that i like so that i can work happily the rest of my life!!!
My last few days in Abacus Capital... i have alot alot alot of mixed feelings... i guess i have developed strong feelings for this company. i cant wait to leave, but also wish to stay on. AHH! Colleague are especially nice to me these few days, getting treats everyday since last friday! HAHA... Coffee Club on last Fri with xxx, Laksa treat from sunshine boy on Mon, TCC with new secretary on Tues, Teabreak treat from smu guy(NL) on Wed... im quite blessed, arent i? :D
i will miss abacus capital after all. i will miss all my colleague. i will miss all the responsibilities im given. i will miss all of the things i did. ~

i kept wonder, why do adults not cry? why am i starting to hold back my tears now that im only 19 yrs old??? i read this article: How to Cry. It says crying is our first language. Yep, as babies, we cried to tell our parents something we need, something that is hurting us...Truly, to me, crying serves 2 purpose. 1) to tell that something is hurting. 2) to release the pain. Somehow, i always feel better after a good cry. cos crying is a natural release? crying is the single best thing that i could do to relieve stress, anger or sadness.

The article says: The first step to learning how to cry is to own and accept your pain. The important thing is to discover and understand why you are hurting. This will be a painful process, and you might find that once you discover the core of your pain, you will begin crying all on your own. Just remember to be gentle with yourself, and when the tears come, just let it all out. It’s for the best.

yea, i do know how to cry. i am one who cry easily just by watching touching korean dramas. Emotions emerge within me, and tears just flow...at least, i used to be. recently, i have been holding back alot and i do feel suffocated! i dislike the stares that people give when one cries. there seems to be some sort of discrimination against people who cry? our society seems to see crying as a form of weakness... that's why we seldom see guys cry, isnt it?
how i wish that im still a kid. crying seems to be a previledge that is entitled only to babies and kids. i want to cry. i dont want to be an adult...

i do realised that as an 19-years-old young adult, we no longer celebrate Youth Day. (it was only few weeks ago) unknowingly, people held higher expectations of us, heavier responsibilities, creating invisible amount of stress onto us. two more days of 11 Feb and i will be an adult. i look forward to a party that i may be able to hold, but not the fact that i would be an adult. who would, right?
i just feel so old. (will get scoldings from my colleagues if i say that to them!) time really flies. i used to rely alot on my dad. he will take care of everything for me. but when i went to the bank with him to get my bank loan for smu today(sat morning), i realised how much he have aged. roles should have changed already. i am trying to reverse our roles. i find it difficult though. afterall, i used to be a blessed girl under the protective wings of my parents for the past 19 years...

suddenly i rmb the song sang by S.H.E: wo bu xiang zhan da. i dont want to grow up. i've got this feeling right now... i miss everyday of my child-hood and youth-hood. do every teenage, or adult-to-be go through this feeling like me???
do not live in your past, live in your presence. my p4 tuition kid said that to me one day you know. i was alittle surprised...it make sense to me as i thought about it...i will most probably miss my adult-hood when i am an old lady! i must say, my tuition kid is really one rare mature smarty pants and an ultimate joker too. mayb kids nowadays are forced to mature too young ba. not good not good. lucky i am born not too late!
*i just tend to think alot alot* end of my poooool of thoughts.

2008-07-17T16:10:00.004+08:00

i LOVE days like today :D
where no bosses are around,
where i have not much work to do,
where i can chit chat with zoe full-time online,
where i can google as much as i like,
where i can blog twice a day :D

i will no longer complain of boredom.
bcos i will find things to interest myself! like now...
i have decided to google on about moles...
HAA!

I shall share some interesting facts!...
do you know that moles are form by Melanin?
it is a natural pigment that gives your skin its color...
Normally, melanin is distributed evenly, but sometimes melanocytes grow together in a cluster, giving rise to moles.
and most people have between 10 and 40 moles...*do u???*
majority of moles are harmless, but in rare cases, moles may become cancerous!!!
and most Chinese believe that moles at different places has a different significance...
check this MOLE MAP out!

i have no idea if this is reliable, but kind of interesting ;)

woots, zoe's bf has been a great help! *google*

2008-07-17T08:39:00.004+08:00

WAH, war between women are SCARY!!!

Especially between two chia za bor(fierce women).
Let me summarise the WAR between 2 chia za bor...

(INTRODUCING CHARACTERS)

Chia za bor no. 1 is my 2nd boss while chia za bor no.2 is my colleague (xxx).
it all started off bcos my 1st boss(the korean-american) showed favouritism towards (xxx)
so, 2nd boss(his pet) got jealous and started to pick on (xxx)
*jealousy is a dangerous thing!*
*it is a common fact that the experience of jealousy can last much longer than the one of a basic emotion like anger, without losing its original intensity. *
*WAH, so dont play with it*

Chia za bor 1 started talking bad about czb no. 2 to 1st boss.
she also kept making things difficult for czb no. 2,
giving lots of work for czb no.2 to do when she wants to go home(only at 6pm?), causing her to OT almost everyday...
she ask czb no.2 to redo every piece of work she have done...
Ooo, czb no.2, as a chia za bor, cant take it anymore...
and the WAR started!

(WAR)

so, czb no. 2 rebel and kept taking leave...
*she took a total of 12 days of leave and 4 days of MC within 2 months lah!*
and finally, she resign...
czb no.1 is equally fierce, she requested czb no.1 to leave immediately though her last day was 8 aug! *as she dont want to see czb no.2 anymore*
czb no.2 was no one to be bullied, so she says "ok, but pay me till 8 aug"
...........................................................................................................................
*after much struggling*
czb no.2 won! czb no.1 has no choice but to pay her till 8 aug despite her not coming to work!

Wah.......scary war and im stuck in between can.......
now that czb no.2 is no longer coming back to work, i have to take over all her job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OT almost everyday lo, while company still pay czb no.2 for staying at home and watch tv...
really have no idea why company is so dumb, why czb no.1 has to be so stubborn.
im the only one who suffer, taking in all the aftermath of their WAR!
arrrgh... irresponsible and childish adults!
but i kind of enjoy watching them fighting lah...
this must be the price i got to pay........... :(

2008-07-14T08:32:00.003+08:00

2008-07-03T22:54:00.005+08:00

today, i had a really busy day as xxx is on leave. she will be on leave for the whole of this week till next week. ~kind of miss her ~ HAHAHA... i have no idea y...
i have a weird relationship with her... !
She did backstabbed me before, yet she had also stood up for me when my boss misunderstood me. She pushes work for me to do and bullies me all the time, yet she also teaches me many things. She made used of me all the time, yet she is also nice to me times and times.
She treats me like her maid sometimes, like a friend sometimes, and like a daughter sometimes...
hmmm... She ordered me to buy drinks for her when she is thirsty, asked me to pack food for her when she is lazy;
yet... She gave me free magazines for nothing, treat me to lunch randomly;
She even sms me at nights to ask if im asleep, check on me and asked about guys in my life...

she is weird in some way...
but she have influenced me alot, and i am probably getting to like her... ?
i used to dislike her quite alot...
probably i have gotten used to her weirdness...
or mayb absence makes the heart grow fonder?
no idea............... HAa

i have so much to blog about today, jus dont know where to start. hmmm...
went to NA poly with yaya, jane, zoe, jeanna after work...
we went to see a performance by siti and her cca
i personally think the performance was really not bad, was rather impressed by their high level of entertainment...
was especially glad that we got to watch it for FREE... lol... im such a cheapo*i know that*
guess we sld have paid the $2 (they deserve it), but im still glad we didnt...HAHAHA!
*got to eat nice brownie too* yum yum...
-----
recently, there is some unknown NS guy(A) who started smsing me
he got my number from some fren of mine (B)
(B) told (A) some stuff about me and (A) used those to chat with me
today, i found out who (B) is.
he may not do it intentionally, but had really pissed me off :( :( :(
i felt quite disappointed in (B), and also felt DUMB for believing (A)...
i guess he(B) sld be feeling guilty already, i know he will be... unless he is really an ASS...!
NS guys who are bored, pls dont resort to do this. its TOTALLY childish and immature and irritating. *lucky (K) told me the truth*
-----

anywayyy, im quite looking forward to tomorrow. i can predict that it will be a busy day once again.
but there will be a new temp staff joining me...
quite excited... HEE :D

GOOD NIGHT!

2008-07-02T13:45:00.009+08:00

heyy, many good things happened to me ytd.
i have gotten my cheque for this month.$.$
i have gotten my pay for one of my tution..$$.$$
my boss(4th one, male) gave me a fountain pen(thanking me for helping him)...
not bad right?
but many bad things happened to me too.

i shall not go into details, just too saddening... :(
Felt bullied once again, felt angry at them (the ugliness of the ppl!)...
im feeling the incredibly toxic of holding grudges onto ppl who are MEAN to me,
felt suffocated, and wrapped up in a lot of hurt and pain...

Forgiveness is the fragrance of the violet which still clings fast to the heel that crushed it

i know, that i will feel better if i let go...
easy to say, hard to do.
God, please give me strength...to let go...!

2008-06-30T11:08:00.003+08:00

hey, i just came back from the clinic downstairs.
cost freaking $56!

Let's see, he gave me 3 kinds of medicine.
One, 90ML cough syrup.
Two, 10 Drufen Tablet(for relief of aches & fever).
Three, 10 Beathricin Lozenges.
~Ah, the cough syrup is prob the cheapest among all, (since its merely mixing of syrup and manufactured in bulk) i would give it a worthy price of $2.
~~usual panadol with 20 caplets sold in watson costs $5.60? hmm, since my Drufen Tablets are BRIGHT PINK in colour and SWEET(though only 10 tablets), i would give it a worthy price of $5?
~~~usual lozenges cost $3.60 for 10? since my Beathricin Lozenges are also PINK in colour but kind of bitter, i would give it a worthy price of $5?

i enjoyed 10min of air-con in the clinic~ $5?
TOTAL: $2 + $5 + $5 + $5 = $17
$56 - $17 = $39
So, where did the rest of $39 gone???
Ah, talking to doctor for less than 3 lines cost $39?
so 1 sentence cost ~$13!
so expensive can?

I could have walked to the polyclinic and it would prob cost less than $10 plus~
Just a lazy and sickly me.... cost $56!!!
still cant believe -.-
could have bought 1 mng jeans :ppp

2008-06-28T09:20:00.003+08:00

im so broke now!!!

i went GSS spree with cass on thurs and spent $250 within 3.5 hours!
thats my one month's pay for tuitioning!
everywhere is having sales, its jus too hard to resist the temptation.
girls, dont u think so??? LOL~

shopping is a realli good therapy for a stressful me, somehow jus feel so happi after owning sth i eye for... BUT, only feel the pain when i when i realised how much i spent...
im so broke lei........

2008-06-26T12:51:00.005+08:00

Whee... i jus came back from lunch. went with one of the intern, my smu senior - bk.
we are two smart ppl... we went at 1130am. and golden shoe is so empty!
no need to queue for food. yay~
i had a delicious nasi lemak for $2. yum yum. and he intro me to nice milk tea. yum yum yum.

today, my office is empty again :DDD *evil me* 3 of them overseas and 4 on leave.
ooo ya... bk says that ppl going for matriculation for smu sld go on the first 2 days if poss. as most camp slots would be booked by the last day! i may not be able to go 7 july(1st day) as xxx took leave that day, so they may not approve of my leave :s................however, i must fight for 7 july!

i've got a list of work-to-do from xxx sia... dont feel like doing. first on list is:
1. write a report to explain what why boss's visa is overlooked, and what can be done to avoid this
dont feeeeeel like writing................. :s
im working very half-heartedly after the incident. dont know y...
there are 14. items on the list... but i have only done 2! LOL!

HAHAHA! tell ya something!
(((i may have told some frens b4... my boss and WLL had some kind of man-woman relationship in the past... *before their marriage i guess*)))
anyway, some ppl are giving out free magazines(advertising food) at the mrt today, with wonglilin(WLL) on the front cover. i jus took one casually and placed it on my table.

first, my 2nd boss(female) came over and saw. she took the magazine and said:
"ahhh, wonglilin... hmmmm..." kept smiling and walk away...

i guess she was thinking about my boss & wll's past...

then, my boss came over too... he also took the magazine and said:
"ahhh, wonglilin... hmmmm..." smiled even even wider and walk away...

hahaha... i sld have told my boss: " you can keep the copy."

probably i will have a higher pay??? or a day off would be nice.
they probably didnt know -i know what they are thinking.
they wouldnt guess that i know their little secret.
shhhh.... :p

2008-06-25T08:30:00.004+08:00

Seeing him cheers my day up :D dont ya think so???
i have pasted his photo on my office phone and so i can see him everyday. heehee...
that way, life in MY office is bearable :)

yea, and lucky i have our usual msn gang(shiyaya, zoe, jane, sometimes with jeanna and sin yan)
and all my fav emo icons. *and zoe retard wave*
and my sms dude(^.^)
i can smile through till aug.
thanks friends for all yr words of encouragement.................

now, back to work!

2008-06-24T16:50:00.008+08:00

ytd, i was really upset.

i made a small mistake but it costs alot.
i booked a flight for my boss to vietnam, he was supposed to depart at 5:40pm.
he reached the airport and realised that he does not have vietnam visa.
he called the office back at 4:55pm. but visa embassy closes at 5pm.
so, my boss did not board the plane. two other colleagues who was supposed to go with him did not board too.
the air tickets are forfeited and that costs at least $2000 leh! and my boss biz plans all are messed up...

when my boss called back, i was really lost for words. i have no idea that he is using an american passport. (he is a singapore pr, u see, neither do i know the procedures to apply for a visa) no one told me anything... anyway, this was the senior secretary's job but she (xxx) was on leave for 4 days. so, i took on the job.

i felt really really bad at that time. regardless of how i can say its-not-my-fault, im still at fault. i could have done many things... i could have asked about the procedures, i could have read on the procedures,...
i guess my colleague (xxx) can tell that i was on the verge of crying... she comforted me lah...
"boss sld have known it himself, he went overseas countless times..."
"travel agent sld have told you..."

at that time, i was comforted that i have her (xxx) i asked her(xxx) if i sld apologies to my boss,(i mean that is basic manners right?), she advised me not to as he may be still angry. so, i listened to her (xxx)

but i guess i just forgot that humans are always selfish... :S
she(xxx) sms my boss on her own behalf to apologise. and told him that she was totally ignorance of my doings. (and she's taking leave the next day, leaving me alone to do my boss visa so that he can fly the first flight the nx day...)
i feel so stupid, angry, sad, i dont-know-what!... im being stabbed in my back by her(xxx) despite trusting her, believing in her...it just sux...

furthermore, my boss called the travel agent this time round himself to book flight the next day. (guess he dont trust me to book for him?)
and... the travel agent told my boss that
"i told her already, that visa is needed. she said you have..."

im utterly speechless. everyone pushes the blame to me. yes, im to be blame. but dont they feel that they sld also be responsible too??? or do they feel that im just a temp, so can just push it to me??? I DONT LIKE THIS AT ALL...
truthfully speaking, i can just quit, today, i can just not turn up for work... but i still turned up. i just cant wait for july to come, and then aug... im suffocating in this office!!!

Luckily today she(xxx) is on leave. i dont know how to face her. sometimes i feel sincere kindness towards me... is it all pretence? i guess im just a temp staff- that's y?...

:(....................................................................

2008-06-24T00:36:00.004+08:00

im feeling so upset...
:(

2008-06-21T21:41:00.012+08:00

yea, today went out with the 'AAs'(aunties and asses)...

i was supposed to attend a talk by smu today(i registered for it). some introduction to major(quantitative finance)... i didnt want to go alone and was simply lazy to pay attention to any talk. but the only reason i registered for it was bcos my parents kept persuading me to go. ---well, i still didnt go.----
two smu guys in my company(they are on internship) advised me not to take on that major(heard that it was so tough that half of the ppl who take on the major drop it after their 1st year, - so those who are considering that course may want to reconsider?)...
whichever so, im being sentenced as the stubborn daughter for today......:s

anyway, 'THANKS' TO KESTER, we watched the shaolin girl(is that the title?). *haha kester*

what can i say?
it is a reallii retard and absurd show. the storyline is so so ridiculous that zoe and i couldnt help it but laugh and make fun of it through the movie. (esp towards the end of the show) its not worth the money.
its probably a suitable show for stressful ppl to have a good laugh. well, i shall still give some credits to the producer and maincast- for the main casts are pretty(two jap girls), the shaolin moves are wah-ing nice, the overall effect is also very not bad...
i wouldnt complain much since i only paid $4 for this show... (as shiyaya has free tix)hahaha

tml is again another day with 4 hours of tuitioning... always dreeeeeeeeeead this.
~~~~ hope it doesnt rain tml ~~~~
shall prepare my lesson for tml now. bbbbbbbye!

2008-06-21T01:37:00.007+08:00

:)
i jus came back from a primary school gathering. yes, a primary school gathering. hahaha, a mini one though...

it all started with mindy, the organiser. she came back to singapore for a holiday and organised this phpps gathering. she posted on facebook and i was told that many gave a positive reply. but guess what??? only 6 of us turned up. BOOoooooo!

but i really enjoyed myself... we chat from anything to everything...most of the time talking about things that happened in phpps- in classes, the politics, crushes, what happened to this guy & that girl... we also had live entertainment from the pool at cafe delmar where a half naked guy and a bikini girl were fooling in the pool. hahaha, all thanks to mindy's rich imagination, creating funny storylines to entertain us.

~~~~~hmmm i think the atmosphere at cafe delmar was good, but the food is freaking expensive!!! not going there to eat again! i had this really simple big-plate-but-small-portion pastamania-like creamy chicken noodles for $18 can! *but i think it worth only $8 lor* plus the crazy service charge of $20...it has the price of new york and yet the serving of singaporeans lor. i feel so heartpain leh.......
oh but the place is nice for sun tanning, they have really cosy beds and couches for anyone to lie on and suntan...i went there once with the girls(xue, ivy, ching), very not bad! nice for chilling too...

oh and i found a pal going smu biz with me! woots...stelly :))) and sheena is going smu law. :)))
so contented & so tired now.......................................good night all!

2008-06-19T09:00:00.001+08:00

my first post! here i am working, really feels weird to be blogging.
my office only has sunshine boy and me now. 5 of my colleagues are on leave and 2 overseas. i have been practically chating-online, and serving-web the whole day. there's still one POLAR mint chocolate layered cake with sweetened flakes waiting for me in the fridge...dont you envy me??? HAHAHA!

Gee, its sunshine boy's birthday today. one good thing is that i get to buy the cake i crave for during their birthdays...choco mint :)
i have a self-confession- i did something bad today, nothing murderous but sth that upset myself and will probably upset some1 else... hai... too bad i cant turn back the clock.

i have not forgotten, lots of thanks to shiyaya and janee!
