Unfolding The Treasures In Me

Are you really prepared to settle down?

Once, I ever ask someone this question, 'When are you really prepared to settle down? Are you sure you are ready for that given that character of yours?' The reply that I get was, 'Of course, yes yes! But er er... Maybe you are true, I wasn't really prepared to settle yet.'

Seriously, I mean no harm, no sacastism to that person, really. It was probably an awaken lesson served as a reminder to think of one's future; and maybe reputation? When I mean by 'settle down', it does not necessary mean to get married. When a person finally decided to 'settle down', he or she will start to look out for his/her ideal partner. It is not about trying out relationship with one after another and conclude there are no suitable partner in the world for him/her. Yes, we have to understand the fact that we will not be able to get a 100% ideal partner because everyone has his/her shortcomings. But if one decided to get prepared to settle down, it could be difficult too. However, the one great enjoyment that we can achieved is the process of finding the right one for us.

Hope this someone get prepared to 'settle down' soon! All the best! ;)

The season of love, giving and sharing

Time really flies as it is the end of the year again. It's december now and there will be celebration going on everywhere in town. People get busy buying presents and cleaning up their homes to prepare to welcome the new year. How about you?

My attachment at level 12 has somehow becoming more busy than I used to be at level 13. Probably because the staffs at level 12 are less shy in asking me to do work. However, this means I'll have lesser time for my final report too. At level 12, I get to know two attachment students from NP; Melissa and Kenneth. Nice knowing them.

Meet up with Cheryl and Sharon twice during the month of November and December. Had delicious meals and enjoyable time shopping.

Sharon and me.

Ok, I know Cheryl can't think of any other poses. Opps!

On 10th December, I went over to the birthday party celebration of my little 2 years old cousin, Bethany. I began to envy the life of the new generation. They always seem to have a lot of celebration and party here and there. Not like my time when birthdays were not allowed to celebrate with my grandma's side.

Bethany's two years old birthday cake.

That's Isaac and Bethany. Looks so matching right?

Another outing on 16th December at Vivocity.

Halfway through Attachment (IAP)

Time has been passing very fast lately and the weather has been changing. Just like everyone too, changes in habits, attitude and feelings as days goes by. Be it good or bad, one has to bear with it. Probably, bad things happened for us to learn and be stronger. No matter what, I rely everything on God's hand. For He is my strength, comfort and shelter.

November became swiftly and interim report stress has been increasing as the submission deadline is near. However, taking rest is still important. So managed to catch up with Ling and Ping on the 1st to meet up for a dinner and a chit chat session. We decided to indulge in a good meal after some consideration. Dining at Dian Xiao Er.

The Dian Xiao Er Menu.

Ling & me ready at table.

The five dishes that we have called.

Ping, Ling & me.

A picture before leaving the restaurant.

After work on 8th November, I headed all the way to Jurong East to learn knitting with my colleague, Venme. Not really learning how to knit, but consider buying knitting strings from the shop to learn new designs. Haha.. I decided to knit a shawl. But don't really know how long will I take to finish it. Just realised that I have spent quite a lot on knitting. Oh no...

As there was enough funds from my department welfare, the staffs and attachment students from PCD will invited for a lunch buffet at Hayatt on 9th November. I chose Thursday since one of my colleagues was on leave the previous day. The lunch buffet was not bad but it cost so much. I heard from my colleagues that it was about $38++. However, i didn't really enjoy and eat a lot cause the head of the department was sitting on the same table with me. So there was a need to have some grace and table manner. Haha.. I don't even dare to take pictures of the food too. Kind of pity.

Yati & me at the Hayatt toilet!

Finally, I get to meet up with Charmaine to pass her the birthday present from me. Bought a bible for her cause she lost her bible on a taxi. The lost bible meant a lot to me too. Cause I often read her lost bible for two years while she used to share the Gospels with me. I hope the bible present will be her best present of the year. Haha.. Char, do take care of the bible ok? Thanks God for using you to share His precious Words with me.

Oh.. I managed to go back to school on the 16th & 17th to see my LO and to submit my interim report. Felt so glad to see some of my classmates who will having In-House project in school. How's you guys been doing? Miss the times we had when we were in the same lecture room? I miss you guys a lot especially the times when I remembered we used to sneak off during lesson hours to have our mini teabreak, asking one another if we have completed the online quizzes, talking craps on our way to the next tutorial class and more memories. Hope we all still get to keep in contact even after we have graduated.

Somehow, I just felt weird about leaving 13th floor at my workplace during my last week(13th-17th November). Maybe I'm starting to miss the peaceful and fun times at level 13. I will be joining the same unit at 12th floor next week but a different section. Work might be a bit different. Hope everything will goes well for me at 12th floor.

For today, I had a long day having fun too. Yan, Ling, Jia, Ping & I choose 18th November to celebrate Yan's early birthday. The four of them arrived at my house to have our sandwiches preparation session. Not forgetting a memorable trip when we get to on board the MV Doulos ship which was built on 1914, two years younger than Titanic. It is the world largest floating book fair selling most of the Christian books with more than 6,000 titles. Cool! Yan wanted to have a relax celebration and we decided on picnic. But I guess it didn't really turned out to be a picnic at the park, should be called a sneaky sandwiches cum drink session at a cafe at Vivocity, Pacific Coffee. Overall, we were glad that Yan enjoyed her days and we all know that she loves us to bits! Hehe...

Jia, Yan & Ling in action in the kitchen. Will it be a mess?

Ping & Ling feels good after my waffle crisp treat! Hoho...

The birthday girl & me.

Pancakes, the dish I'm best with.

Creating Jia's favourite character.

Just see what they did to my wardrobe. My well-preserved old Bowen uniform. That's Ling & Ping!

Missing our old school days. With our new looks. Haha...

The MV Doulos Ship!

Arrival!

On board the oldest ongoing ship.

Look-alike family pic. Without Ping. =( Come on, don't be a camera girl.

Oh no.. We can't be serious anymore.

*I love this picture most. Friendly fight!

*I in you (your spectacles) & you in me (my spectacles). I love this expression. Exchange time.

*some problems with the last two picture. Probably due to the dim lighting. Occurred within the blog post only. But the main focus(us) is still visible. Yeah!

My new blog song: Because I'm A Girl by Kiss

Below is the song lyric of the orginal Korean song: Because I'm A Girl by Kiss. This is quite an old song but I realised recently that the English lyric is very meaningful and it talked about how much a girl can gives for love. So do enjoy the song in my blog (English Version) while reading the lyric. One of my all-time favourites.

Because I'm A Girl by Kiss

Verse 1
I just can't understand the ways
Of all the men and their mistakes
You give them all your heart
And then they rip it all away
It showed me how much you loved me
And how our love was meant to be
And I believed in you
I thought that you would set me free

Chorus
You should've just told me the truth
I wasn't the girl for you
Still I didn't have a clue
Cause my heart depended on you
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl

Verse 2
And so the men believe in girls
Get sick of you and would
I know that is no lie
I gave my all still I just cry
Never again will I be fooled
To give my all when nothings true
I wont be played again
That I will fall in love again

Chorus
You should've just told me the truth
That I wasn't the girl for you
Still I didn't have a clue
My heart depended on you
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl

Bridge
I loved you so
Now you leave me in the cold
I burned this way
I thought that you only loved me
Into the night
Ill pray that you're all right
You hurt me so
I just can't let you go

Verse 3
I'm sick of anytime my willingness
To do anything for love
Now I'm the only one in pain
Will you please take it all away

Chorus
Never thought that for being a girl
Why can't I believe in love
Now I will never want
To never get torn again
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
Though I say I hate you now
Though I shout and curse you out
Ill always have love for you
Because I am a girl
-END-

New Experience, Complicated Feelings, New Goal

Yeah! Finally have the time to blog two posts in October. However, I'm going to get busy with my interim report that I need to submit during mid Nov. Still praying hard that I can complete the report before the deadline. Don't worry, I'll be following the deadline closely.

Happy 19th Birthday to Charmaine whoose birthday falls on the 21st Oct! Don't worry, you will get your birthday gift from me soon. I'm just finding time to get your present and taking time to get the best present for you. So wait patiently ok? I still remember you! Haha..

New experience, guess what? I went to hospital for overnight ALONE on 21st Oct! Haha.. Don't think that I'm crazy to actually do that without reasons. My grandma was admitted to hospital for an operation and that is why I dawn over the hospital to look after her without letting her know until the next morning. It's not scary to overnight in the hospital actually. It's pretty cool and calm knowing that Jesus is always with me.

On the 24th Oct, it's on Hari Raya Puasa holiday, a tuesday weekday again, a total of 9 of us celebrated ling's birthday earlier. Ling, Ling's bro, Yan, Jia, Ping, Derrick, Glenn, Royston, Willie & I meet up at Wild Wild Wet entrance during the mid-afternoon. It was raining quite heavily that afternoon and I prayed when I was on the cab to meet them. Thank God! It stopped raining when I reached Downtown East. God works miracle in our life when we pray to Him sincerely, faithfully & with a trusting heart in Jesus's name. Haha.. Managed to surprise Ling with the cake that all of us had shared and my personal present, a bouquet of roses, which I promised her during Ping's birthday celebration this year. Just to let her know that I still remember what I have promised you!

My Dearest Ling and me. With our 'engagement' flower. Haha...

Her Angie the Choice Oreo Cake. Nice?

Me, Yan, Ling, Ping & Jia. The usual five with strong bond!

Ling with the guys.

The birthday girl, birthday flower & birthday cake.

Hmm.. What's your wish?

Enjoying halfway. Photo shot pls?

Nice group pics at Wild Wild Wet, 24th Oct 2006.

After Ling's birthday celebration, I have been feeling weird and having complex feelings which I even can't comprehend it. Still searching for the feelings and I hope everything I'm doing now, I do it without regrets. I have been thinking and thinking even during my working hours and something big happened. Well, at least, it was a big matter to me. I twisted and broke my spectacles into two pieces. Oh no, in the middle of the day when it was on 3plus in the afternoon. No choice, I have to spend the rest of the time without spectacles and seeing everyone around me in blur mode. Anyway, I wasn't feeling so down that day cause I have my new goal found! I started learning knitting during my lunch time from my colleague, Venme. I just wanna thank her so much for helping me to get the necessary stuffs for knitting and willingly to teach me without any complaints. I'll remember this date, 25th Oct 2006. Cool!

Happy 19th Birthday to my dearest Ling whoose birthday falls on 26th Oct. Hope you have really enjoy yourself during the celebration day and on your birthday too! May the Lord bless you on your walk with Him and cling on to Him and the Cross!

After three days, I managed to collect my new spectacles at Toa Payoh, my usual optical shop since young, on last Saturday. I choose the geeky spectacles this time round. Determined to change my looks, to change my feelings, to revamp!

The girl with new haircut, new spectacles, new skill, new goal!

Quote of the day: 'As I close my eyes and think about the past memories that you have left me when you used to protect me and walk behind me along the quiet dim roadway, I smile and appreciate it with all my heart. But as I open my eyes and face the reality, the memories were gone and faded as tears start flowing out.'

Missing those times that we had...

I've been thinking alot during this month till now. Been missing the times when friends gathered and have fun together. Always carrying hopes and dreams ahead of me. So I won't lose hope and be pessimistic.

I finally signed up for driving lessons on 30th Sept after dad nagging for two years. Even before I turned 18. Everyone always feel that I'm so lucky to be able to learn driving at this age as my dad sponsoring for it. But behind this lies the real truth. I feel so scared to face the future, so afraid that the future is coming nearer, but no one will ever understand this complicated feelings. I want the freedom to choose my ideal career, to do the things I like without restriction, to go to church as and when I like, to have my ultimate freedom. However, all these seem to be so far away, seem to be like the cars on the road driving further and further away till they are out of sight. What should I do? Go against my dad's decision or remain quiet to bear with all these?

It has been long since I went to watch movie. Rob-B-Hood is a nice show so I decided to catch it with kio at the Cathay on 4th Oct. I have been laughing all the way throughout the movie.

Rob-B-Hood Advertisement.

5th Oct, one day before the mid-autumn festival, I met up with Ping and here we go, intending to shop for mooncakes after my attachment work. We ended up at Marina Square having appetizing dinner. Meals at MOF (Ministry of Food) My Izakaya. It's worth the money and we will be back there again. We ended up rushing to Hougang to get my last minute mooncakes for the celebration event the next day. Thanks dearest Ping for accompanying me & always hearing me out when I faced problems or feeling down.

Ping & me before our meals at MOF.

That's me with my Japanese Cha Siew rice meal.

Ping with her cold Udon.

This year mid-autumn festival fell on 6th Oct and it was a friday. Although it was an ideal day, but we don't get to have the ideal weather. The smoky haze has made a lot of people feeling uncomfortable and yet, a lot of people still burn things to celebrate mid-autumn festival. Making the weather even more hazy. So ironical. Anyway, Ping, Ling, kio, Kenny, Ah Gu, Warric & me still make it a point to celebrate this day. Somehow, remembered the days when we were in secondary 2, celebrating mid-autumn festival together as well. We ended up at a garden near ling's place. It was a pity that I need to leave first with Warric. Thanks for accompanying me!

The strawberry mooncake that I have brought along.

Warric making of the mini rocket. Haha...

The hazy weather became worse the next day when my church was having the mid-autumn festival event on a saturday night. I went over to church earlier that morning to help in decorating the place. I felt so happy that I was able to bring my mum over to church and let her know that I enjoyed going to church although I was not ready to tell her that I became a Christian. I guess God will give me the right time to break the news to her. I know she will be able to accept it, but not sure for my dad. Christian peeps, pray for me ok? Overall, We had a fun time in church that night. Thanks God & everyone who were present that day!

That's my good friend in church. Wenling. I remember you.

Decorating the church in progress.

I made my first trip to Vivo City on 10th Oct with Cheryl. It is a new shopping centre at Harbour Front and a lot of shops were still not opened yet. Too bad that the shopping centre is only from B2- L3. Probably the soil over there is not strong enough to hold more levels. Haha..

Dinner with Cheryl at Noodle Hut at Harbour Front shopping centre.

Cheryl studying the menu.

Somehow, I felt so sad and troubled so I decided to have a haircut on a monday blues on 16th Oct. Have a nice haircut really felt less stress. Cool. Change my hair style. Have my fringe cut. I'll have more changes as days goes by.

I miss this look of mine. But I have to change myself for some reasons.

After the haircut. Do I look better and different?

On the 18th Oct, I met up with Yan, Jia & Ping to get Ling's birthday present. Hope she likes the present from us.

To a special someone. Ah kio! Thanks for being with me throughout these years. For being able to forgive me, to bear with my nonsense and to sacrifice so much for me although I have done so much wrongs to you. Half a decade don't come easy. 19thOct.

Kio & me.

Thanks for the webcam!

WOW, Wild on wheels, event has just ended on 20th Oct. Being the publicity rep for NP, it wasn't been an easy task. I have been calling, smsing & sending emails to a lot of people from the PEP group. However, I was glad to be called to do God's work. To evangelise so that more people will come to hear the gospels that God is Great! His Salvation plans for everyone who believes and trusted Him! 83 non-christians heard the gospels and 29 of them decided to know more about Him. 107 people participated in the game event. It was a nice experience. God's love will moved His people!

Taken while my team was racing with time during the game.

Start of Attachment(IAP) month

Opps... Sorry for the late update again. I've been so busy since my attachment started. Enjoy my morning so much on 2nd Sept. I guess I won't forget the feelings that day. During afternoon, I went to the airport to fetch Ping & her sis at the airport when they just came back from their HongKong cum China trip.

On the 4th of Sept, my dread day has come. My first day of attachment. I was posted to National Environment Agency (NEA) head office. Cool, at least, it is near town area and not at West area. Everything was kind of last minute, when I don't even know which level of the building to report too. So I ended up at 19th floor, the HR department. I felt so strange and dare not ask about the pay too. Can you imagine? That I don't know who to report to on the 1st day, don't know about my pay and the worst is, I don't even know what time to report for work. Oh.. Really sorry to bother my Laison Officer (LO) on last friday, 1st Sept, AFTER OFFICE HOURS. Hope he forgives me! The office is so big and I get the big desk with computer and scanner. Ok, shall not talk about the office anymore. There are a lot of staffs and overall, they are quite nice to me.

In office wear.

On the friday evening 8th of Sept, I went over to Settlers' cafe at Clarke Quay outlet. It was an small scale outing organised by NP poly ministry for evangelistic purposes and I'm the IC. Managed to get Charmaine, YiLin and Marcus to join. Hope they have enjoy themselves that day.

A few of us from NP poly ministry gathered together at Esplanade on 11th Sept to have simple Japanese dinner and farewell James who is going into the army on 12th Sept. He is going over to join SP poly ministry and we wish him well.

That's James!

After my attachment work ended on 12th Sept evening, I hurried over to Aloha for the Faith @ work, Faith outlast camp. It was nice to see TP and NP students gathering that day and at the camp, I get to learn more about God through the sharing. A pity that I can't stay over cause I'm having my attachment the next day.

Result was out on 15th Sept morning and my result was terrible. Real bad. Although I didn't failed any modules. Probably, it's time for me to do some reflection.

Happy Birthday to Royston whose birthday falls on the 16th Sept. Hope you like the t-shirts present from us and the special present. It was great meeting up together to celebrate your birthday. Hope you enjoy as much as we do. The food & drink was nice at Changing Appetite at Marina Square.
Another big event going on that day was my NP class gathering at West Coast Park. We had a bbq together although not everyone was present, we still managed to gather a group of people with two lecturers, Mrs Mariam & Mr Tan.

A picture with the birthday boy.

My incomplete class bbq gathering pic.

Feeling very determined to keep fit & lose weight, I started my first step aerobics class at Hougang Sport Hall with Ling & Ping on 22nd Sept. The lesson was great and we got a good instructor. The steps were a bit familiar as I had my aerobics module before during Year 1 Sem 1. It's so fun. Do try it.

Finally, my second time to Pulau Ubin trip on 23rd Sept. This time round, with more people. Jeff Yeo, Ping, Ling, Ah Gu, Kenny Hang & me. We cycled most parts of the Ubin, had coconut drink & a sumptuous dinner together. We started talking about the days in Bowen when we were still in secondary schools when St. Gabriel people came into the picture. So hilarious when we joke about the swimming pool incident. We shall get together again soon.
As Glenn's birthday is on 25th Sept, Ling, Ping & I decided to get a cake for him since we are uncertain of what he likes. Hope he enjoy the cake and it's nice to get to know you! Happy 19th Birthday.

Upon reaching Ubin.

The three girls. Nice scenery right? Look a bit like studio photo taken.

On the boat?

The great memories.

The birthday cake for Glenn.

Somehow, I felt so sad on 24th Sept onwards till the last week of Sept. I felt so dejected that I decided to go for an isolation period. Didn't contact any of my friends for a few days cause I need to forsake certain thoughts like to forgive and to learn to forget things that I shouldn't continue to brood on. Please forgive me for not replying any sms or answer any phone call.

It has been long since I met up with Cheryl. We went over Suntec to do some shopping. Thanks for accompanying me although I wasn't in good mood.
Happy 21st Birthday to MeiYun whose birthday falls on 28th Sept. May the Lord bless you with a wonderful memories of your life and continue to depend on Him.

After aerobics class on 29th Sept, Ling, Ping & I rush over to downtown east after a quick bath for MeiYun's birthday party. We were so glad that we were able to make it on time for the cake-cutting ceremony. We had an enjoyable evening and stayed up late cause my dad came to fetch Ling, Wei Zhong, Ping & I back home.

MeiYun's 21st birthday cake.

Wenling & Meiyun.

Ping, me, birthday girl & Ling.

Happy Birthday to Jeffrey Chan, Ah Gu, whose birthday falls on 30th Sept. May the Lord continue to bless you with good health and your faith with Him!

I miss the palm writing session with you although you might have forgotten it. Can't really blog my feelings out here but I hope you know who you are. All the words that I said to you, I really meant it. Even till now when you didn't contact me. Thanks for the memories you have given me. I'll remembered it forever. But do you really get to read this message?

Thankgiving time:
God; for staying by my side when I need your comforting words.
Willie; for the drink that you treated us.
Ping & WeiLing; for the wonderful gifts that you two have bought from HongKong cum China.
NEA staffs; for welcoming me into the workplace.
Reggie & James; for the guidance with the SSO.
YiLin & Marcus; for attending the settlers' cafe gathering.
Royston; for the treats at Changing Appetite.
Ash & those who came for the bbq; for organising & making a point to make it for the gathering.
Aerobic instructor; for his patience in teaching us.
Ah Kio, Ling, Ping, Ah Gu & Kenny for the fun time at Ubin.
Ping & Ling; for consoling & encouraging me.
Cheryl; for meeting & accompanying me.
MeiYun; for inviting me to your birthday celebration and your testimony sharing.

Missed one month of entries

It has been one month since I last posted. August has been a hectic month for me. With projects due, tests, examinations, planning of small scale outing (ss0) and my trip to Genting. However, this post will be an exciting post because I'll be posting a lot of photos and how I have been doing recently.

Oh.. I remembered I went to watch NDP preview on 29th July with Cheryl, Sharon, Edric & Sharon's friends, one of them who I knew before Sharon get to know her is Kriste. Sharon is so good to let Cheryl n I have two tickets that came from her parents who were performing. The outing was served as a gathering for the three of us as we were very busy with our own lives.

The three of us! Since Primary school days.

Cheryl making funny face again. Obviously enjoying herself.

Sharon and me. Really can't imagine we had tomboy hair styles last time.. Haha..

Sharon and Edric. The loving couple.

NDP 2006. (preview)

The night comes.

Blinking light of the NDP cap.

The firework for NDP preview.

A quick pic taken before leaving the stadium.

A lot of projects were due and most of them were handed up late (as usual). It's not easy to hand in on time when the projects are all team work. Tests were all in a rush. So much so that my lecturer had one of the tests to 1 hour instead of the usual 1.5hours. Examinations were quite spread out. But to be able to grasp the time, to spot your weak questions and to study effectively was another thing. I'm quite bad at that.

Basically, what I have been doing in August, went to renew my passport on 1st Aug while skipping one of my IS lesson. Haha..

My EPM group members picture! Taken after our last EPM lesson.

Went to watch the fireworks at Esplanade with dear, Kenny and Rena on 5th August.

The second time I went ice-skating with Yilin on 8th August after our AQMC lesson.

Happy belated Birthday to Boon Sze whose bithday falls on the 5th August. Shall catch up with you one of these days.

National day falls on the 9th August & my sis bought a national day cake for us to celebrate!

12th August happened to be Ming's birthday too. Happy belated Birthday! Hope you have enjoy ur birthday as much.

The following week went by fast enough while preparing for my examinations during the study week. The next big event was my sis's 21st birthday celebration that was held at my house. She celebrated her birthday earlier, on the 19th August. But it was a bad timing for me as I was having my examination period.

I'm so stressed up that I took this pic while studying half-way. Still looking relax right? Not the right mood.

Yilin was at my house studying and after her new hair cut. I still think it suited her a lot.

I was having examinations during 22th, 24th & 25th August and it was the hardest semester examinations in poly for me. Hope i will be able to pass through.

During this month, i also heard people saying about having two moons on 26th August at 12.30am. Is it true? So I decided to find out. But I didn't get to see any moon. The sky was too cloudy. Haha...

Set off to Genting on the 28th August and I just came back home. It was so tired and fun! Took a lot of pictures and get to go a lot of places that most tourist can't enter except if they have special privileges will get to go in. Just like the Ngee Ann Polytechnic students. Hoho.. See below for more pictures.

The first picture taken during the Genting trip with school. The overall model of Genting Highlands!

This is the PR lady who guide us around for the study trip to explore Genting.

My first simple high tea during the first day when we just reached.

Free time after dinner. So Yilin, Huang Long (Our sleeping mate) and I decided to have two rounds of bowling.

I didn't get to win the overall of two games.

The three of us after our bowling session. Disturbing a couple by asking them to help us took the photo.

Yilin and I taking pics while waiting for Huang Long to finish bathing.

The second day morning. Do we look alert and fresh? Doubt so. This photo didn't look like me.

The Genting convention room! While we were having our 2nd day of lesson.

Look high class isn't it?

Next, we get to visit the laundry department.. I'm sure most of them didn't get to go over and explore right? See below for more pics at the laundry department!

The chute where the towels, bedsheets & etc will drop till basement 12. Yeah.. It's at B12!

Sending bags and bags of laundry.

The bags of laundry were left hanging while waiting for their turns to get clean up.

I'm sure ur mum will love this if you could get this machine for her. The machine where the laundry get the ironing and folded up automatically and nicely.

Suddenly thought of the noise lesson I used to have during year 2. With the poster asking the staffs to wear ear plug cause it's quite noisy!

Neat and fast.

YanHui and me in the convention room. My Japanese classmate.

Ying Tao and me. Used to attend Business image module with him.

The close-up of Huang Long and me. With Yilin's hand behind trying to act funny. Haha..

The scenery in Genting.

This was taken from my hotel room view.

This is the amount of salmon I took during the second dinner at Genting. Come to think of it, it's too scary. The waiter didn't understand I wanted mayo when he thought I wanted more salmon.. Oh no.. But the dinner was good. At coffee terrace.

Yummy, I still get to eat my favourite dessert after dinner. Ice-cream. Looks simple but it's good ice-cream.

Yilin and me thought we have too much time that we started taking pictures in the toilet at coffee terrace.

But the background of the toilet is so nice right? So I decided to take it down.

Oh.. This is the show we watched during the second night of our trip. And it's complimentary show for us. Cool!

The next highlight of our trip during the third day was to get to explore the casino training centre. Don't worry. No gambling is allowed in the training centre. So we didn't gamble and get to enjoy as well. This is Mr Tan acting as the dealer for backjack. Look how skillful he was. Nice try!

I guess this guy standing next to me is the manager or the assistant manager of the training centre.

The guy standing directly behind Yilin and me was our leader for the Genting study trip. Vincent. As for the guy standing next to him, I forgot his name. Opps! But he was very friendly and humourous.

Nice view of the French Boule game.

Haha.. I took this cause there is the name of Joe! Joe the monkey. Haha.. At theme park hotel level 10.

The last dinner we had at the open area around the indoor theme park. Torcello!

The half group picture taken! Where were the other students?

On the ferris wheel. Nice lighting!

Taken from the top view of the ferris wheel.

Seating on the ride alone cause I don't want Yilin or Huang Long to get left out.

There they were. Being cooperative to allow me to take this photo.

As our third day was Malaysia's National Day eve, Gentings was also in the mood to celebrate this occasion. There was a charity night market that night.

Took this while we were waiting for the countdown for Malaysia's National Day.

Yeah. This pic and the pics below were the Genting fireworks to countdown the National Day. Isn't it nicer than Singapore? As in, we had a nicer and bigger view of the fireworks at Genting compared to the view we had in Singapore.

The last day of our trip, our last stop, Outdoor Theme Park! Yilin and I waiting for the cockscrew ride. My first time taking it and it was exciting.

This is the new 'superman' rollar coaster ride. But we didn't managed to try it. Cause it was under maintainence and we didn't have much time left to take the ride. What a pity!

There were also some cultural performances on the Malaysia's National Day at the Outdoor Theme Park.

We will on the way home to Singapore when I snapped this pic secretly. Everyone was sleeping on the bus except me. Nice Memories with the students in NP!

Thanks:
Sharon--> For the tickets to NDP preview. I really enjoyed it!
EPM group --> For the accompany and the sucesss for all our projects.
Derrick --> For the 'Our Journey' booklet.
Seok Ping --> For lending me ur house to study with you!

Gonna miss the days in Ngee Ann

Somehow, I just have the feeling of unbearable and unwilling to let go. Don't be mistaken. I know I haven't graduated. But I know time passed very fast. Especially if I'm selected for IAP, Industrial Attachment Program. Two more weeks before school starts study break, followed by exams week and finally, holiday. Most actions that I have done or react recently are actually proofs of my longing for school, lessons, schoolmates and my classmates which I have just discovered. Especially to my classmates, pardon me for disturbing u guys during or after lessons.

These few days has been feeling quite lowdown. Rushing for projects, presentations, assignments and tests. I had my presentations just now that can be considered as my worst presentation in my life at the moment. The stern scolding by the lecturer seems to get smoothed over with tone and words of appreciation, compassion and sympathy. To my group, we have done our best and it's ok. Cheer up!

Should I be missing or feeling glad that the feeling has been retreated? Maybe I should be feeling glad so I will not cause so much problems.

*I am so thankful to God for He has grant me strength and comfort that comes only from Him; and answering my prayer in a patient and silent way.

A series of thoughts

I'm having lesson now. The boring WET lesson. Wastewater technology. Somehow, I just feel like blogging during lesson after reading my friend's blog.

I hope that a close friend of mine, friend J, will understand the decision made by friend P and me. Just like how we respected her belief. So friend J, please bear with what I'm going to say here and; think and understand the comments that I'm going to make.

After reading your blog, I can understand how you feel. Really! That's the reason why I choose to blog my decision down. It took me a few years before I make my final decision. If friend P and I are fated for our belief, we will be one of them no matter what. It's planned. Although we have different faiths, we will still remain friends. Friends as before. This won't change. This, I promise!

A series of events happening

A lots of things happened recently. Whether it's good, neutral or bad, they are going to be part of my memories.

Finally, I bought my new hp and I will need to scrimp temporary. At least, I have a new hp.

I got back my common test results for my five papers last week. The feelings I have after receiving each paper are: unexpected surprise(fair result), a little prepared(bad result), surprisingly good(good result), unexpected shock(real bad result) & expected result(good result). Haha... This shows that I need to buck up more.

Happy belated birthday to Glenda! Her birthday falls on 1st July. I actually wanted to pay her a visit at her house that day. But I couldn't make it in the end. I'm sorry about it. I think I'm going to arrange a time with her again to meet up so I can pass her the present.

My thanks to:
Charmaine for inviting my friends & I for the Lost event on 1st July.
My friends who make an effort to go for the Lost event and together we got the 3rd prize! Good cooperation.
Royston for getting the Luge tickets at Sentosa for my friends and I who went for the Sentosa Lost event.

I have a new life from today onwards!

Yes! Today is the day to mark one of the most important day in my life. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I know it's quite shocking for others to hear this news but it actually took me almost two years to get down to this decision. I just can't describe my feelings. Maybe there will be people who will ask why am I making this decision or why am I being silly. But I know clearly what I'm doing and this will be my choice because it is the right choice! So this decision is the first thing that makes my day feel great today.

During the afternoon, I meet up with Ping & Ling for a session of ice-skating and movie at Jurong East. It was also my first time trying out ice-skating in my life. Cool! We skated for almost two hours and I have almost mastered how to ice-skate which is the second good thing about today. Somehow, I feel kind of romantic if a couple will be able to hold hand in hand and ice-skate together. Haha.. I think I have watched too much 'Full House' Korean Drama. So while I'm skating half-way today, the third good news came. Someone from NP library actually called and told me that my student card (also the library card) was found and I can collect it anytime. Yeah! Isn't it amazing after I accepted Christ? Good things happen. My student card was misplaced by me and I can't even remember how I lose it last week. Blur me.

Overall, today is a really very good day for me and I'll remember it. Bright smiley face for today! Cheers!

Two weeks of 'holiday breaks'

Missing in action for so long cause I was having common tests and nothing much to update about my life last week. I just had five tests paper last week. One of the most common tests I ever took in my poly life in one week. Well, at least, this is year 3 life. One week of 'holiday' has also passed doing projects and meeting lecturer for project most of the time. This coming week gonna do project most of the day except wednesday. Yeah, gonna enjoy a bit before the school term start again.

Happy belated birthday to Jia, whose birthday on 5th June. Yilin too, on 14th June. Hope you two like the present.

All of a sudden, I just thought of a question. Is love nature or nurtured? What do you all think?

Common test approaching

Common test is starting next week & there are a lot of homeworks & projects that are left untouched. Will I be able to finish them on time? Struggling with time & laziness.

I have just finish watching 'Sangdoo, let's go to school' Korean drama. It is a sad & nice show. But I think it's worth watching it. It somehow reflects the days during our school times & high school romance that could last for more than ten years. I love Dr Kang's role the most.

I might not blog that often now cause common test coming up. All the best for me!

Last week of 18 years old

One year flies so fast that I thought I had just celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday. I had my good & bad times throughout my life being a 18 years old young adult & they had become part of my memories. My birthday falls on every year, 15th may, & this year, it was so coincidently that my lunar birthday falls on the same day this year which was hard to come by. I also had my fun since one week before my big day.

Last tuesday, I went out with my group of (Effective People Management module) EPM projectmates to marina square. The group consists of Yi Lin, Jing Ying, Derrick, Royston, Joanna & me. We wanted to watch movie but in the end, we went to play bowling & arcade instead. It was fun & interesting that we are able to mix around so well when we just knew one another for 3weeks (except Yi Lin & I). We will get together & go out again when we are done with our projects. Haha..

On 10th may, I went out to watch movie with Cheryl after school at 5pm at Cineleisure. We caught the movie 'The Art of Seduction' and it is a good show if you want to have a good laugh. I felt so fortunate to have a friend who is so on to accompany me when I wanted to watch any movies that she might not be keen on.

I met up with Cheryl right after the next day again together with Sharon. They went to my house to celebrate my birthday & they bought a chocolate mousse cake for me. It was so sweet.

Vesak day was on the 12th may so it was a public holiday. Charmaine is so thoughtful that she had secretly organised an outing within our classmates to celebrate my birthday & also as a form of gathering for our class. Haha.. But somehow, the 'secret' just have loopholes & I somehow get the idea before we met up that day. Charmaine, Yi Lin, Marcus, Lu Xing, Yee Hwee, Zhi Hong, Tung & Elson were there to join in the celebration. Although there were only 8 people, but I was so elated that they were willing to make time out & effort to be there when they were being told about the information at the last minute. We went to marina bay to have steamboat buffet & we went for bowling session after our heavy dinner. Thomas & Ming Hao couldn't make it on time but it's ok. At least both of them did called & I appreciated it. I hope that they did enjoyed themselves from my treat for bowling.

Saturday, 13th may, was also a fun-filled time for me with my darling babes, Yan, Jia, Ling & Ping. We finally get to confirm where to go on that day itself. After a few rounds of cracking brain of where the activites we can go within Singapore, we decided to play board game. Settlers' Cafe at north canal was fully booked on that day & we were so anxious when we heard the news. However, we were lucky that Ling's friend know of another cafe named the Mind Cafe at Prinsep street & we headed there.

The five of us at the Mind Cafe!

Ping & Yan before our rounds of games.

Ling & I sitting next to each other.

That's Ling & Jia!

Ling & I with our drinks, chocolate chips & potato chips.

Oh.. Taboo! Ling hit me cause she thought I said the wrond word but I'm not.

Haha.. Taboo her! Punishment for saying the wrong word & she did!

Ping likes to be the camera-man. Opps! I mean camera-woman.

Later on, we went over to Geylang to have our improper dinner of soya bean drink, you tiao, toasted bread & lastly durian! Durian was our main motive for going there as we just missed the durian season so much. In Ping's blog, she talked about durian being one of the reasons that brought us closer but to me, I think it was just a small minor reason. We had fun & enjoy one another company & our memories of the times we had are the main reasons that brought us closer.

Durian treats at Geylang!

Enjoying their durians that melted in their mouths.

Jia & I at the Geylang durian stall.

Yummy yummy..

Half-way to completion!

14 may is the 2nd sunday of may & it happened to be mother's day as well. I stayed at home most of the time & went out with my family later for a simple dinner & to realise that my weight is gaining for the good food I have enjoyed over the week.

Today, I met up with Jeff dear at hougang for a simple meal after school. I was glad that he is able to meet me although he end his school late. Happy 19th Birthday to me!

Lots of thanks to:
Royston for treating the EPM projectmates for the bowling session.
Cheryl & Sharon for the birthday celebration & the cake.
Charmaine for organising the class gathering & the guess bag present.
Yi Lin & Marcus for the Anna Sui Dolly Girl present.
Lu Xing for the earrings present.
Adeline, Elson, Yee Hwee, Tung & Thomas for the earrings & the adidas jacket as presents.
Ling, Jia, Ping & Yan for making time out to celebrate my birthday, the board game & durian treat & the Anna Sui Dolly Girl present. I still like it although I have two bottles now.
Jeff Dear for spending time with me on my birthday. Quality time is the best present!

An opportunity that has been wasted

The chance to go for the homestay in Japan has finally arrived. I'm so excited about it when I heard the news from Yoko Hirata, my Japanese lecturer that NP is organising the Japan trip for the advance A students. I scanned the piece of information on the A4 size paper to briefly look through the details. First thing I saw was the venue; at Osaka. Next, it was the price of $2000-$2300 and it said that it covers all the necessary fees like transport & the 3-meals cost. It was so attractive. Third onwards, it said that it was during the period of time when I have to miss one week of attachment over the two weeks stay at Osaka. Lastly, it was all about the criterias in order to be selected for the trip. Only a maximum of 6 students will allowed to go. So it was a privilege to be able to go.

A lot of the students in my class worried about the cost but as for me; the time frame and my dad's permission. It's not that I'm clever or I'm rich to afford it, but how I fared for my Japanese and money are secondary to me because to be able to go is the top priority. My dad didn't allow me to go for some various reasons which I do not know cause he didn't want to speak up. ARGH!

So I wanted to save up my money next time when I started working and make sure that my first distant overseas trip without parents will be Japan! Awaiting for that day to come...

Courtesy!

Second week of school does make a different compared with first week of school. Homeworks are piling up & projects were assigned for us to do. I have to find more time for my studies already.

Today after school, when I was on my way home on the bus, I met this middle-aged woman with her daughter of about 8-9years old. They were facing & sitting opposite of each other. This little girl, while chatting with her mum half-way, threw a piece of bus ticket on the bus. She was smiling at her mum & showing her facial expression to her mum that she dared to throw rubbish on the bus. What a bad attitude & habit the daughter has! However, the worse part was when she asked her mum to pick it up & her mum just signalled her forget about it. From this situation, you can see that the kid was obviously not brought up in a proper way when her mum was lacking of courtesy. What a disappointment.

Ling finally send me some of the pics we took the last time at kbox. Here is one of the pics.

I'm so looking forward for this weekend to come so I can have a good rest. That's all for today, peeps!

First week as a year 3 poly student!

Woah.. Time really flies. I'm officially a year 3 student in Ngee Ann polytechnic. One more year to my diploma. However, I'm more optimistic this semester. Yeah, that's the way to go..

My first week of school is so slack & boring. Third day of school, someone mistook me as a year 1 student. Oh no! But it's ok. I just take it as I'm young. Two modules of lesson were cancelled for the whole week. So I have been attending only 1hr lesson for wednesday & thursday. Quite lame.

I have finish watching the Korean show; full house, already. I took four days to finish it despite having school everyday. Overall, I still prefer sweet 18. Hehe...

On saturday, I went for a sushi buffet with dear's family at Singapore Science Centre. There were a lot of people & the food was average only. But I still enjoy my share of food with dear. Thanks dear's family!

Happy birthday, Sharon! Hope you have a great time this year celebrating your birthday. We shall go out again with Cheryl to celebrate our birthdays ok? Mine is approaching. Haha...

I have nothing much to update this week cause school started can be pretty boring. Anyway, I wanna thank a few persons.

Thanks,
Thomas for the key chain from Langkawi and it's a great surprise when you gave me on the first day of school.
Marcus for your sweets from Beijing.

Gathering & gathering!

This week overall had been a fun & enjoyable week & also last week of school holiday. I stayed at home on last monday & received call from Jo at almost 10pm when she ask me to work for the next day & wednesday. So last min! But I still agreed to it. Tuesday had been a real bad day for me when things were going on badly throughout the day. Charmaine invited me for her chalet bbq at Jurong Chervons & I forget about it when I promise Jo that I will work from 8am-8pm that day. So I reach her chalet only at 9plus & left at 10plus. Hope Char have enjoy your stay over there. Sharon & I celebrated Cheryl's birthday on thursday & we went for sushi buffet followed by taking neoprints before I head to her house.

The neoprints we took that day.

Ling's back from UK so we decided to meet up & sing K. We went to the kbox at Chinatown & sing for 5hrs. Leaving a messy room behind full of titbits, tissues & dirt. Haha.. Should have just treat & serve us better. Yeah, customer service. To let them know that we are girls with power & not easily bullied.

Horray, I have finish watching Sweet 18 & more than 9episodes of full house. So into Korean movie now. A bit quite similar too.

School starting tomorrow at 9am. Oh no. Really not into study mood yet. But I have to make changes to my mood in order to get a much better result this coming semester.

Special thanks!
`Dear for the bible. I really appreciate it & like it alot.
`Cheryl for the t-shirts, bottle & food you bought from your taiwan trip.
`Ling for your bread, sweets, chocolates you bought from your UK trip.

Movie for bi-weekly

I have been into movie & drama series for this past two weeks. Went to school library with Cheryl for three days to watch movie; paycheck, 2046 and one more chance. Just like some movie marathon thingy. Haha.. Meet up with Gladys to watch the Russian dolls. Finally, I have completed watching Dae Jang Guem, Da Chang Jin, of 70 episodes. Oh gosh, I just can't believed it. I had been busy rushing the show that I didn't blog for so long. I did shopping with Cheryl, Sharon and mummy as well. Well spent holiday! School gonna reopens in one week time and I just feel that my holiday is not enough. I just hate the feeling of school reopening for this semester. Lonely & aimless, somehow.

Some 'funny self-idioms' sms messages when Cheryl & I were on our separate way home on one of our school library movie trip.. It was raining that late afternoon & I was bored on the bus home so I send an sms to Cheryl, "The black shadow creeps over the sky & I could feel the water droplets dripping onto my face". Then she tried hers, "black clouds covered above me, giving me nothing but droplets of rain splattering against the apples of my cheeks". The funny thoughts of mine came in when I replied her, "it sounds like the the bathroom light was off half way when bathing with nothing to see & feel except the shower water". She replied later,"So bad u criticise my phrase!". Haha... So it was kind of stupid, but it did entertain us when we are on my way home.

Photos taken with Cheryl during our madness shopping trip!

Happy belated birthday to my toddler cousin, Isaac, which just turned two years old & my pri cum sec cum poly schoolmate, Zach. Their birthday falls on the same day, 6th April.

I'm patiently waiting to meet my babes; Jia, Yan, Ping & Ling to sing K and hit to a durian stall to have durian together. Not forgetting to celebrate sistaz Cheryl's & Sharon's birthday! X'5 darlings, Don't forget abt my birthday too! Hehe.. Be there for me when I need you girls ok?

Gonna sleep early tonight & no more bad dreams for me ok? Only tireless & sweet dreams!

Start of April

Hi, today is first of April. Happy April Fool's Day if anyone still get tricked today. As usual, every year, since 18 years ago, maybe i should say about 10years ago since everyone started this kind of joke when they are about 8 or 9 years of age, I will come across this kind of joke every year whether it is during school time or sms. I'm so used to it that I thought if there are people who would have a better jokes like they are pregnant or something like that? Haha... Ok, that is just for entertainment. Don't do that to the weak-hearted people.

I went for a family carnival today at a MINDS school. It is a school f0r the intellectually-disabled children or children with learning difficulty from age5-18. For some reasons, I was happened to be there. A rather old school with not much technology & renovation works done. However, there are still principal, teachers, staffs & students who are still able to get together and really eager to learn from one another despite the student's learning difficulty. From observing their behaviour, I realise some lessons that I can learn from them. During the carnival, the students & their families get to play games together; watching shows; have their lunch; & enjoy themselves as a family. When one sees the type of games they played, one may think that it is easy & lame. But to some of the students there, it might posed as a challenging game. However, they still get some prizes although they didn't manage to win the game. The prizes were served as a means of encouragement and they were delighted when they have the mini prize on their hands. I saw some of my schoolmates from interact club, who came & helped out with the carnival as well. At that point in time, I was thinking that I should have join this CCA so I will realise this early. That bringing joy & hopes to this students, I will feel the joy more in my heart than them. Childish & innocent as they are, they feel more contented & more happy than in our life although they didn't seem to realise what lies ahead of their future. Lesson learnt? Read below.

Enjoying

Hi, I'm back for blogging before my laptop batt goes off. This time round, I have pics for my post again. I went out with Gladys, YingHui, WeiYing & MingJin to gather for a dinner session & some mini shopping on last saturday.

Photos, Photos

Neoprint again!

Cheryl will be meeting me later after my trip to school cause I have decided to continue my Japanese Advance A. I should do things for what I have believed in now. By trusting myself. For giving myself one more chance so I will not have any regrets next time.

Today, I have just thought of someone, A*, who somehow, make an small impact in my life during my childhood days when I was nine, ten years old. I have lost contact with A* since after primary school days. A* gave me a kind of confident that I thought only others have it but not me. Still remembers you till now. Thanks for the memories & care you have given me last time. I appreciated it although we have lost contact. I hope to meet you again if there is any chance in the future.

Rest or bored?

It's been ten days since I last blog. Kind of busy or lazy or no opportunity? Anyway, there are days when I'm feeling happy but there are days when I'll be asking if I'm doing and making the right decision.

Thanks Cheryl for having sushi buffet with me on the 16th. Enjoy myself during the buffet even though it was a short one. Of cause, I did have another good time with my sec school mates, ping, jia & yan on the 18th. A pity that ling is not around cause she is in UK. Miss going out with her so much. Here are some pics I took with jia & ping:

Dear's birthday on the 20th. I bought a cologne for him as a present. Really hope he likes it. Just feel kind of weird when I know his friends bought him a game he likes. A bad feeling. Unexplainable. But felt better when he told me it's ok cause he know I'm not into gaming stuff.

My shopping mood came back when I went out with Gladys on 23th. I keep on telling myself not to get anything but I still can't control. Haha.. Bought three pairs of earrings, a top & a pair of short pants. Great shopping with her.

Result out in the morning when I check just now. My result dropped a lot. Far behind from my target of 3GPA points. I was feeling kind of distressed during the day. But felt better after watching Da Chang Jin. It motivates me, somehow.

To my friends who are still searching for their love, take your time to find the ideal partner; while those who have found it, be brave to go for it. It will be a good & worthwhile experience. But meanwhile, protect yourself as your first self-interest.

Quote of the day: Whenever you feel like giving up on anything, always tell yourself that it's because you have not put in 100% of your effort in doing it, that is why you failed. There is nothing impossible when you set your heart into it. Try again!

Aimless Holiday

I had been very lazy these few days since the start of the holiday. Just feel that last week have been wasted doing not much things. Left with only 5.5weeks for me to enjoy before school reopens. I know I have to do something meaningful if I'm not going to get any jobs during this holiday.

Dear & I went over to Kenny Hang's house on last Tuesday to watch movie & we have pizza as dinner. I think it was the only real happy day for me during last week.

Last friday, I meet up with yilin to do some shopping for the stuffs we wanted to buy at City Link & Suntec City. Later on, we went over to Orchard area to take neoprints. It has been a long time since I meddle with those machines. Haha..

Anyway, I'm half way to persuading my dad to sponsor me to learn driving. I really wanted to learn now & get it over done with.

Hey my friends, ask me out from next week onwards ok? I have been feeling real bored this few days. Arrange a time with me asap ok? Will be staying at home for this week so I can spend lesser money & be a good girl to my parents. Holiday is also a good time for friends to get together & catch up with the good old days. Tag me too, it's getting a bit quiet. Hehe..

Quote of the day: Reflect & remember the good times and also at the same time, erase the bad times that you have been through in your mind.

Emo week

I have been quite emotional this week. Many things happened but I just don't feel like naming all out. Feel like a protected young bird in a nest, unwilling to fly out. Exams just over, but I didn't feel any happier while others are excited about how they should spend their holidays.

First of all, i have ended my year2 sem2. Yet, I still thinking if I should continue my Japanese advance A. Should I? When my result has dropped by 2grades. My friend has decided to stop taking it although her result is so good. She has always been helping me when we were studying Japanese together and now that she decided not taking it anymore, I feel kind of lonely and helpless. Japanese has always been part of my interest since young and I have completed my Basic and Intermediate levels. Friends out there, please advice.

Second thing, bon voyage to Marcus for his Beijing trip and Shuling for her UK trip later in the morning. Ling's trip to UK will be a long one, six weeks. I was hoping that Ling, Ping, Yan, Jia and me to meet up together before Ling's UK trip but failed. Everyone seems to be busy with their stuffs after the exams. We didn't get to meet up in the end although I tried to plan and arrange a time with them. It's kind of disappointing and sad. But never mind about that now. Since it's over.

Third, I seriously think I need to get a good temp job for this holiday. There are a lot of things that I need to get. But my finance status is kind of tight now so I need to save up more. So I'm still thinking if I should take up Jo's part time job. Char, I guess you know what I mean by that right? Haha..

Fourth, my usual family problem again. Some conflict between my dad and I! Argh..

Lastly, the main cause to my emo feeling is a secret! I think this person should know who he is. For making me feeling so miserable this week. I wanted to let him know that he should think about other people's feelings and not always thinking for himself. That is then what I call, selfless.

I hope next week will be a better week for me. I will be meeting up with Cheryl for some crazy job hunt. There is something that I wanted her to know. If she get back to me. Hehe...

Quote of the day: The best gift is not something that is expensive, but that priceless gift of little thoughts for one another.

Uncontrollable

I had enough. He make me feel so useless and stupid. Like an ungrown child. I hate it.

Boring Saturday

Exams starting in two days time. I'm still struggling with it. Just hope this coming week will pass with a blink. Is there anyone with any job opportunity or 'lobang' that can introduce me to work during the holiday? I'll be back here again blogging after the exams. All the best to me!

Quote of the day: Life is not about being rich or poor, but being happy most of the time of your life.

IS, Japanese, CPS & NMPC Cleared!

Back for update again. I have cleared four modules now. Feeling more relax with only three modules left. Exams will be on next week, monday, wednesday & friday afternoon. Gonna struggle for the exams to make sure I score well for these three modules.

Valentine's day on last tuesday. Meet up with dear, Yilin, Marcus, Marcus's brother & his girlfriend to East Coast park for couple picnic in the evening. It was fun & new concept for couples to celebrate love at the seaside. However, we left the place a bit earlier because Yilin & I having CPS test on the next day.

The rest of the weekdays were spent doing overdue projects and lab reports. I went for a talk on last friday & saturday evening about fallacy of the Da Vinci Code. I have enjoyed the talk & get to know more about Christ. There are many misconceptions that people have after reading the book so it is good that we know & seek the truth behind it. It applies even for our daily lifestyles when we couldn't just sit down and dwell over it especially when there are doubts & problems without taking the initiative to find out what actually went wrong.

By the way, I wanna thank the following people over here & I'm really appreciated by what they have done.
Cheryl* --> My goody old friend who is always so observant & thoughtful as she pass me a new pencilcase a few weeks ago when she noticed that my pencilcase had some loop holes. Haha...
Yilin* --> For inviting kio & me to join in the fun at East Coast on Valentine's day and the rocher chocos.
Dear* --> Thank you for the wonderful chocos gift which was believed to cost about 25bucks for a small box of chocos.
Charmaine* --> For inviting me to the talk about the fallacy of the Da Vinci Code thus, allowing me to learn more about Christ & other things.

Quote of the day: You can choose what you want to believe in but not everything you believe in are the real truths.

The 15th day of Lunar New Year

Today is the 15th day of Lunar New Year. Hope everyone enjoy their new year this year. Hasn't been updating my blog cause tests and exams are coming and I have endless project to do. There are too many things to say of what I have been doing during these 2weeks so I guess I just round them off. Haha... I went visiting to a few friends' house together with my classmates to celebrate New Year. But it has been a pity that Jia, Ping, Ling, Yan and I couldn't go one another houses and I guess they have just forgotten about our plan. I'm kinda sad about it when 1 or 2 didn't even replied my sms. Hope to catch up with them again when exams end.

My house have a mini gathering yesterday when my dad called the buffets and invited some of my relatives to my house. I only get to help out a bit and I'm off to meet kio's family and relatives to have our dinner at Pulau Ubin. I didn't really wanted to go in the 1st place because I have a party gathering at home but kio's grandma keep on asking me to go so I just went in the end. 2 tables were reserved and we end up paying a bill of more than 800 bucks. The amount was expected when more than 15dishes of food were being served at each tables. Kio's parents drove me home and I went home to have my 'dinner' again as the guests have not finish the food. Enjoy a lot of good food last night.

I'm going to watch a concert by corrinne may later at NUS at 7.30pm. Her songs are nice and calming. It's just my taste of music. Gonna prepare myself now. :) Sign off...

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year to everyone! I hasn't been blogging for more than two weeks. Busy with 3 projects and 3 retests. Yes, I only failed 3 tests. I passed my water tech and hydraulic test. I have already retake all the tests and i know I get quite a good grades of 33.5/50 for cps and 29/40 for my noise tests although I didn't studied hard for it. Although 3 projects had to be handed up on last friday, I didn't complete any. The water tech project was over due, cps project extended till this coming wednesday and noise project on this coming friday. I'm still wondering when can I actually clear all this project.

I went to cut and dye hair on last tuesday and the result was fantastic. Last friday, Cheryl and i meet up at 5pm to go Clementi to do threading of eyebrow. We waited for almost 2hours that I almost screamed at the shop as there were also a lot of Chinese women threading eyebrow or their faces for Lunar New Year. It is so pain that I don't think I will be trying that again. Just stick on to plucking of eyebrow. Haha.. ;)

This Lunar New Year, my family went overseas as they always do every year. This year, they went Shanghai but I didn't go. However, I did enjoy myself in Singapore. Party at my house on friday night, midnight shopping at Chinatown on saturday, visiting at kio's relatives' house and party at warric's house on sunday and fetching my family members at Changi Airport later. Cool! It's just a pity that I didn't go clubbing.

Gonna work real hard after this New Year. Exams timetable is out and it will start on mid february. I hope I can get GPA of 3 points although a lot of people might think that it is kind of a low standard. But i just have yet to reach 3points.

Before I end this post, i will like to wish all my relatives, kio and his family and my friends a happy Lunar New Year. Hope you guys get lots of hongbaos and enjoy the holiday and make sure there is enough rest for the days ahead of us. Good Night!

Depressed me with a stronger will than before

I'm really very depressed and gulity over my common tests result. So far, I know I failed 3. I just can't believe it. Even my kindergarden friend, Cheryl, couldn't believed it. I really did studied but I just couldn't pass them. Maybe, my mind wasn't as serious when I'm studying for my common tests. My mind just feel so heavy and awake when I realised that I couldn't be so slack anymore. I just simply doesn't have any mood for any festive occasions or celebration now. At the moment. That I have sleepless nights these few days, tonight as well? Can I find my will to study harder and be more serious with my studies? I shall have my self-punishment that I set for myself. I think that is all for today. I'll find something to do to spend my sleepless night later.

Note for friends:
Please don't feel upset or try to console me in any ways. I think I just deserved the marks for now. At least, it will only be now. I'll prove to others one day. That I'm useful and I can make it. Really thanks for your concern from my deep-felt heart. I'll be stronger!

Finally finding some time out to blog here

It has been quite some time since I blog. There were a lot of things happening to me recently. A quarrel with my family which is kind of upset and depressed, and realised that they didn't understand me at all. Anyway, I hope things will get better for me.

On sat, 7th January 2006, I went Suntec to meet Yilin at 3pm. To meet and to resolve our quarrel since last year September. I initated the meeting and she agreed to meet me. I know that one of my new year resolutions is to forgive and forget. So I took up my courage to meet her. We chatted for more than 2hrs and realised that our friendship meant so much to each other. The quarrel started because I'm a sensitive person and she is a bad-tempered person and she misunderstand my intention before our quarrel started. After that, we met up with Marcus to shop for a while before we went home. I hope that we are not going to have any quarrels anymore.

Congrats to Hwee Chen, ah jing, on her wedding on 8th January 2006. I was glad that she remembered me and invited me to her wedding. I knew her about 2years ago when we were working in Giordano. She was engaged already when I knew her and she treated me very nice like a big sister to me. I just wanna thank her for her guidance and her love as a big sister.

School started on 9th January 2006 again. I was feeling kind of tired, depressed and gulity at the fact that I didn't studied well for my common test. Today afternoon, my cps group went to look for Mr Tan to ask him about our project on how we should start it and ask him about our common test result as well. I failed his paper. 23.5/50. By 1.5marks. Sad. I know that I will fail his paper and the retest will be held next tue 5-6.30pm and it was kind of a bad timing for me as I end my IS lesson in the morning.

I'm hoping that i'm not going to get any failed paper anymore. I don't want to get any bad results and the need to take the retest. I just can't take the stress anymore and I know I have to score well for projects, the rest of the tests and my examination. All the best for me!

Ever 1st blog of the beginning of the new year, 2006!

Yeah.. Finally. Finding some time out during this afternoon to create this very own blog of mine. I had been waiting for this day to start my blog. A nice date, 1st January 2006. With the help of my closest buddy, Cheryl. Thanks, girl! And sorry for troubling you.

New year started with having many resolutions that I have thought of. Organising my time well for studies and play (this has always been my resolution that I have yet to be fufilled), setting my priority well (with regards to my studies again), this year special: to learn to forgive and forget, to spend time with my loved onces (this includes you, kio), hoping that all my friends will read my blog and enjoy reading it, and many more that I have not organised it well in my brain.

This new year, I hope everyone can get good results in their studies and do well in their job or career, stay healthy and happy always. Smile more and frown lesser. Self improvement in their work and characters. Cheers!
