11:58 pm - Me, such a bum!
|
Well then! I've not updated for a long long time now, and i'm back! Haven't been online for quite some time, and haven't felt the need to which is good =) Shows that i'm not as addicted to the computer as i thought i was!
Unlike others who've been busy looking for a job, i've been well umm..slacking. I know it sounds terrible, but it shouldn't be a crime to enjoy the remaining 2 years of complete freedom that we have, and so i'm trying not to feel guilty!
hello! her sis says hi! "small hands" --> my sister interrupted while i was blogging.
As i was saying, i shall not feel guilty for slacking!
I had a lovely day today =) Went out for karaoke with cheryl in the morning and we had lunch there too! Amazingly cheap! Like each of us paid only $9 which included first drink, lunch and 3 hours of singing! Lunch was soya chicken, which sounded and looked totally unappetizing, but after the first tentative bite, we were both hooked! YUM. ANd all that for $9! That's what i call a deal =)
Met Dar after that since i was at Tampines, and we walked around for a bit, looking at lotsa books! I really do love books. And music. Ok it sounds like a DUH statement, but true! Checked out some chinese novels and am thinking of buying a couple, but where's the money when i need it?! Have been spending alot these 2 weeks so i'm really trying to cut down..holidays and no money to spend, no work to support the spending. UGH.
Came back to do a run (which i'm completely amazed i did cos i haven't run in like what, 2 years plus?!) around the neighbourhood for 30 mins to try out my new shoes! Pretty pretty shoes and nice running ones =) Felt accomplished after that!
This evening was wonderful. It's been a long time since my family and i spent time together and we went out for a meal at Swensen's which was really nice =) Ate so much i'm totally full and this means my running has gone to waste! Here are some photos!

8:05 pm - sickness irritates
|
I'm going through a terrible patch of late. Ever since exams ended, i've been falling sick non-stop. And it's getting really tiring. First i was feeling nauseated, then i came down with fever, sore throat and flu, then those went away, and i'm back with giddiness and nausea. SIGH. There're so many things i wanna do but the sickness stops me from so doing. For example, i was supposed to have a stayover at siammee's place last night, but because i was unwell, i couldn't go! And missed out on a whole night's worth of gossip =| i don't care! we have to organise another one when i'm fully well again!
In order to aid my recuperation, i decided to switch off my phone since yesterday, and i think it's been pretty good so far. I feel more relaxed, and less stuff to worry about. When i went to the doc's yesterday and asked him about the cause of nausea, he mused out aloud as to whether there was a possibility of me being pregnant! like HELLO! NO WAY! Anyway, then he said the other cause was possibly anxiety. I think he was on target there. Emotional anxiety. So right now i need to take my mind off everything. Partly why i switched off my phone as well.
I NEED to get well. Then i can start on my fitness plans (like getting abs by the end of june..well..i'll TRY!) and shopping! I can't believe i haven't gone shopping since exams ended! ARGH. Think of all the deals that i could have missed out! Plus all the skating i've been missing out on! SIGH. This is terrible.
Met up with the girl i'm going to Notts with and she seems pretty nice =) Hopefully we have a great time there going all bimbo and girly and PINK! Ahahaha =)
I sat down to think for a bit today, and realised that we're all growing up. It's been a wonderful 20 years thus far, and while i'm looking to growing up, i also realised that this hols is prob one of the last few i have the luxury of taking before i graduate and get caught up in the rat-race. So i should enjoy it as best as i am able!

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. |
In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now. |
Interesting...*muses*
Your Seduction Style: The Natural |
You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen.
Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people.
You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find!
People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast. |
Is this true? Hrmm.
You Are A Romantic |
You are more romantic than 100% of the population.
You life your life like a fairy tale... or at least you try to.
Living for magical moments, you believe there's only one true love for you.
Love is the most important thing in your life, and you don't take it for granted.
Your perfect match loves to be in love as much as you do! |
Toora!

6:46 pm - Dreamy Sunday
|
I can't believe this. I'm so bored, going outta my mind that i've decided i absolutely must blog. Was reading Sophie's World this whole afternoon, but it's getting kinda tiresome. As Dar and I agree, the story seems somewhat forced out. I mean, sure, we do get an overview of the history of philosophy, but the storyline seems pretty flimsy somewhat. I'm sure it would have been much more engaging if the storyline was better. If i can put down the book for days on end and not wonder about what's happening next, then it can't be really engaging can it? But then again, who am i to critique such a book since i've never tried my hand at writing one?
I have a whole list of things i want to accomplish this holiday before i go on exchange:
1) Brush up on reading! I have a whole super-long reading list (and more being added each day) that i'll never finish them, but i'm going to try! However, sometimes you just wanna read some brainless book so you won't have to start thinking every one page or so. It's quite taxing on the brain sometimes and although i relish a challenge, i like my breaks too! Oh but i have to start getting down to reading my books for when i'm on SEP so i can enjoy when i'm there!
2) Figure out how to whip up a good meal. I have been trying to get down to it for a million years, but it never seems to work out! And by good meal, i also mean diff kinds of cuisine. Perhaps it's being too ambitious, but better to be so than without ambitions right? Plus i wouldn't want my food tasters to squirm at the sight of my cooked food heh.
3) I want to learn about wine. But there's no one to teach me...
4) Horse-riding! Waiting for sereeeeeeeeneeeeeee! WOnder if Shus is coming along too?
5) Brush up on my French and learn Latin/ Gaelic
Haha it sure sounds like alot to do! I'm sure there's more i wanna do but haven't figured it out yet. So why am i stuck at home and complaining of boredommmmmmmm? EEKS. Well, i hope i get the job or i'll really be wandering around aimlessly! My fault for not applying for a job as an intern for something else earlier! Never mind i'll do that next year =) Meanwhile, still cranking out ideaaaaaaaas....

10:57 pm - Sick
|
Dum dee dum. Being sick isn't fun. And that's what's happening to me at the mo. For the past 4 days, i've been experiencing hot and cold cos i'm down with the fever, the flu and a throat irritation. Yikes. Not fun.
Anyhow, the more important update is the one on my interview! I applied to be an intern with Seventeen and went for the interview on Friday. It was pretty quick and i hope i get it! But before that, i have the final test of completing a mini-assignment by Tuesday so here i am, sick, and trying to think of ideas. I hope all goes well though! =) Quite excited! *grin*

12:10 pm - Quickie Update!
|
Update number 1.
Oh man exams are FINALLY over! Been waiting for it for like forever! =) And now it's done, and i think i have nothing to do, everything starts piling up again! Sports club mails are...too many for me to handle! Argh. Gotta reply to them all, get the skaters up and about again, plan outings with friends, and start planning for my Nottingham exchange (yes though it's 4 months away!). I just received the pack from them and i think i need to start planning for my modules and all. I'm really looking forward to going to Nottingham! =)
Update number 2.
I got a new phone! Like finally! It's a Sony Ericsson K700i, and i think it's a great buy, cos it's $198 down from $498. Figured i shouldn't get such an expensive phone anyway since i'll be going to Notts in 4 months and if it get misplaced (which i really hope not), i'll be really upset...so..yup.
Update number 3.
I finally managed to carry my niece Cheryl! She's never let anyone handle her apart from her parents and her amah and a-gong, but yesterday was the day! I actually carried her and played with her for about half an hour! AMAZING! She's such a darling =) And i got her to sit at the piano while singing songs to her and belting out the tunes, and there she was with her little hands, trying to make music at the piano! Imagine my delight when she hit her first key! She got really excited and started banging away at the keys, and because her hands were so small, she only hit one key at a time! After a while, we were both getting kinda hot cos i'd been carrying her for so long after all, and she got a bit uncomfy, and when her gramps disappeared outta sight for a while, she started bawling! And LOUD. Then when her gramps came back and carried her, mostly ok again, but she was still crying so it was time to take a bath! Have you ever seen babies bathe? They're soooo delightful! Cheryl was being held up to bathe and she was standing up, waving her hands all around! And when the water was pouring over her head and down into her eyes, she didn't cry but instead closed her eyes and giggled away! It was so fun watching her =) I should've taken some photos then but didn't get the chance to! Silly me. But i did take a couple of photos on my phone when she was about to sleep heh. So very adorable! Really pokes at my maternal instincts haha =) I do hope i'll make a good mum next time! =D
Update number 4.
I sent in my resume for an internship at Seventeen, and i'm going for their interview next friday! I'm really really really excited, and now i'll hafta start deciding what i wear and all! *grin* hopefully everything goes well, but if i get selected, i'll only be starting in July, which means i'll still have to fill up my time these two months. Need to work to earn money!! Notts is expensive man. Got my aunt to help me see if got any lobang at her office =)
Alright i think that's about it for now =) Been pretty busy =) Going for ktv in a while and i'm gonna watch madama butterfly tonight =) really excited! *grin* but it's gonna be 3+ hours, so i'll see how it goes heh.
PS: I got your mail..thanx =) it really brightened up my day..you'll be back soon!

5:25 pm - Boring Friday
|
It's friday and i'm sitting at my comp typing away, totally, utterly BORED. I have one more paper to go on Tues, which i'm completely unprepared for and i don't know what goes on in class everytime i'm there! But i'm absolutely restless and non-motivated! *sigh* I'm kinda waiting for tues to come, yet i dread it because i somehow feel i'll completely screw up the paper. 4 days to study is ALOT, but i've wasted this whole day already. And i can't get myself into the mood!
I just realised today, miserably, that i have NO LIFE! =| yikes. I'll really hafta do something about it after the exams! But finding work is kinda important too..and saving money for my SEP in september. i'm really lookng forward to it! About the only thing worth looking forward to. Why why why am i so restless?!
Anyone interested in...k-box, wakeboarding, bowling, horse-riding, skating, shopping, movies, or simply just chilling out, gimme a tinkle. This is seriously how bored i am!

11:23 am - Beer and Nuts
|
I've been sick the past few days and it's awful! Anyhow, here's something interesting that happened about two days back.
I had a sore throat and was told by my mum to drink beer to cure it. Yes yes i don't really know how that works out, but being the good girl i am, i followed what my mum said and drank about 3/4 of a can. Then i recalled one of my friends, Prem, saying that he fed beer to his friend's hamster before and the hamster couldn't get drunk! And apparently, beer is good for them. SO, i looked at my hamster, Valentine, and decided that she should get her first taste of beer! She was fed through a straw, and surprisingly, she loved it and was licking the cage after all that! I went to throw away the straw before heading back to look at her and see if she displayed any signs of drunkedness. But lo and behold! She wasn't drunk and guess what? She was happily munching on her sunflower seeds (nuts). So it certainly looks like the beer and nuts thing are an innate part of nature after all! Even darling valentine couldn't resist!

11:04 pm - The Sound of Music
|
Yesterday was wonderful for i went to watch the sound of music at esplanade. It was a fabulous performance, and the vocals were great. I loved the nuns! Esp the opera-ish one!!! Their singing was so good, it felt like i was in a cathedral while i was watching them sing! The main actress was really fantastic too! Her voice was simply amazing! Quite like Julie Andrews actually...and all her actions were remarkably similar. And the lead actor, he was wonderful. What a manly voice...husky enough and so deep it sent shivers down my spine! Lovely lovely lovely. Everyone should go and catch it! A marvellous performance!
Oh, BUT (there's always a but) there were a couple of lacklustre movements when i felt that the performers (never the leads though) were just doing a rehearsal of their dance steps without the ooomph, and the singing was less than perfect at certain times, lending to a certain boredom during the performance because of the less than charismatic characters.
Last gripe: first half of the performance was watched at circle 2 instead of circle 1 where we (my sis, me, ei-leen and ml) were supposed to be. Reason: the rest left without us when ml was stuck at the checkpoint. And IF they were genuinely worried and wanted to look for us, they wouldn't have just stood outside Door 6, but instead at the MAIN STAIRCASE where it would be likely we would have got them. And we VERY NEARLY couldn't get to watch the first-half of the performance. So much for paying $119 to sit at an $80 seat place. IT WAS NOT APPRECIATED. AND NO WORDS OF APOLOGIES AFTER THAT, EVERYONE ASSUMED IT WAS OK JUST BECAUSE WE MANAGED TO GET TO OUR SEATS AFTER HALFTIME. THEY ALWAYS DO THIS. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND I AM GETTING INCREASINGLY IRRITATED. I know this sounds like bitching, but as of this moment, i don't care. Because i was way beyond incensed yesterday yet i was controlling myself and still smiling. Come to think of it, i'm amazed i didn't explode.
PS: Strange that my mood-star is crying when i'm disappointed. I thought it should look glum!

12:25 am - Exercise!
|
I have henceforth decided that i'm fat and growing fatter, and thus i need exercise. What kind of exercise, i know not. With what kind of determination i will set forth to achieve a toned body, i know not either! Because i'm not sure that the resolute determination that i have right now will actually last more than a few days. So maybe i should stare at myself everyday and tell myself i'm fat, then i'll have the determination to do something about it. Hrmmm.

PS: It's like the "Serene Journal" incident except now i'm announcing your popularity with me to the whole world! =)

12:05 am - Ponderings and Wonderings
|
I'm back after a long enough absence! Finally, i'm down to one essay before i can start hitting my books with renewed vigour (ya right!). However, i forsee quite some problems with my essay. For one, it's on a German poet called Gunter Grass and well, there really aren't any books in the library pertaining to him! Or more accurately put, there are books of his translated into English (as mine is), but zilch books on criticisms and whatsoever, which leaves me hanging! And in quite some trouble. Perhaps if you read one of his poems, you'd understand what i mean. Let me just take a short poem and put it here.
After Brief Illness
All runny-nosed the land, the flu bug has run wild
and makes itself a rhyme upon the manger child.
Quick viruses, alert to the new cult
we thought assuaged long since, carefully soothed and lulled.
Till our eyes drip, our vision that was blurred
grows snotty too, with hankies scarce in shops,
old moans, set to new music, now are heard,
so that we form one voice while counting cough mixture drops.
Hardly yet sweated out, still hoarse with all that roar,
violence fades, barks softly and, if requested, more.
Hardly subsided, the flu shrinks to a legend
and in a talk show finds its happy ending:
quite glibly on their stools now they debate
why on occasion humans lapse from the human state.
Bear in mind that this is translated from German so alot of nuances might be lost. Oh well. Help me! Hrmmm but after that's through, i'll be happy.
I was pondering over Great Expectations by Charles Dickens the other day (i'm supposed to read it but not finished with it). The book is considered a Bildungsroman and suddenly, it just struck me that my life is also a Bildungsroman. Actually, everyone's is. We're all growing, hopefully to greater awareness, maturity and knowledge, and hopefully we put all of that to good use. Mine is about growth, and as i'm growing each day, i eagerly anticipate and wonder how all this will turn out, but till then, i'm still caught in the "mists of the marsh", which makes it difficult for me to see where the end is.
I had my last lesson of yoga today. It was awesome and very very relaxing. Just what i needed to wind down after an accumulation of 2 weeks worth of stress! Wonderful =) Everyone should give yoga a shot. I sure sound like i'm promoting it shamelessly! And guess what? I am! Although i'm only at the very very beginner stage heh. Will try to do more about it soon enough. Hopefully it's really SOON.
That's it for now, back to researching for stuff on Grass!

11:17 pm - Been so busy..
|
It's been an awfully busy week, with two essays and a test. Just when i thought a breather was in sight, no! I still have yet another two essays and a test this coming week. With everything going on, i've just been too busy to blog. Or maybe i've not been in any mood to blog.
I'm turning 21 this year, it's a huge thing..will my life also turn for the better?

9:21 pm - When I Dream About You
|
There was a time in my life
When I opened my eyes and there you were
The more I can dream
I could reach out and touch you baby
That was long ago
There are some things that I guess I'll never know
When you love someone you gotta learn to let them go
Chorus:
When I dream about you
Thats when everything's alright
You're in my arms, here next to me, forever
When I dream about you
Baby you never go away
Just close my eyes wait for my dreams
Coz I still love loving you
How can I get you to see
That I'm fallin apart since you've been gone
I could never be sure
Could never let go
Your love is much too strong
There are some things that I guess I'll never know
When you love someone you gotta learn to let them go
When I dream about you
Thats when everything's alright
You're in my arms, here next to me, forever
When I dream about you
Baby you never go away
Just close my eyes wait for my dreams
Coz I still love loving you

10:53 pm - 相遇太早
|
当我们再度相视微笑 成熟的心有一点苍老
许多的伤痛都已经忘掉 记忆里剩下的全是美好
你我都找到新的依靠 过去对错已不再重要
只是我们都清楚地知道 心里还有个划不完的句号
只怪你和我相爱得太早 对于幸福又了解的太少
于是自私让爱变成煎熬 付出了所有却让彼此想逃跑
上天让我们相遇得太早 对于缘分却又给得太少
才让我们只能陷在回忆中懊恼

11:16 pm - Skating Saturday
|
I'll just do a really quick update before i fall asleep on my feet! Or as it happens, on my desk =)
Today was a full skating day. We had a food skate this afternoon and it was more eating than skating so i feel myself growing fat! Need to work that off and that's why i'm looking forward to wushu on monday (yes yes i DO take wushu although it'll only be my second lesson), even though i know i'll be aching like crazy after that! Anyway, our lunch skate consisted of chicken pie, chocolate fudge cake (it was jiexun's birthday!), o-ni and ice kachang. Mostly fattening food as you can see from here, and that's not good at all!! Plus, we were skating around the shenton way area where everything is pretty much next to each other.
After the skating (what skating??), we decided to head down to ecp to continue skating! Jiexun was supposed to bring me to triax so we could meet edwin where he could teach us some moves, but alas, no one was there when we reached! So what to do? Skate back to the rink (i skated ahead of jiexun, adrian and mel because they were happily chatting and skating at such a slow pace, and i needed to feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins!), but i stopped by at Hvper instead where i found ah boy, who fell and injured himself for the millionth and one time, and yy. So then i bummed around at hvper with those two before we went to macs for sustenance. I only needed a drink, yy ate like a burger and fries, whereas boy at 2 burgers and 2 packets of fries!! In usual fashion, i told ah boy that he was so gonna grow fat, to which he retorted he had lost weight, so i couldn't say anything more! =) Then we went to the rink where we met up with ivan, and all of us were practising. Mel had already gone home, leaving alvin, andy, jiexun, adrian and edmond from my skating club, and ivan, yy and ahboy and me from etaks. Longwen came along later =)
Moves i tried out today:
1. Toe-toe spin (which was crap because my technique was wrong and i was pivoting on my right foot instead of pivoting about both feet! Need to work on it ALOT, but at least it's a start! Plus i need to bend my knees more and lock my feet. Hrmm.)
2. Hockey stop (this was fun, but i kept falling since i overslid. Everyone says it's a good thing because this shows i dare to slide so the next step would be to control my slide. Problem is i seem to be sliding on my frame instead of the wheels because i think there's no more grip; wheels wearing out. Slid till i grazed my right thigh then i decided to practice something else. Partly also cos tired of falling la!)
3. Acid brake (now this is cool and i got longwen to teach me. I kinda got the hang of it, so now i'll hafta do it with more speed, which i'm afraid of since there's a possibility i'll fly if i don't get the correct angle, but i think that comes with practice)
That's about all i did for today. No slalom. The rink was crazy-crowded anyway so maybe i'll do slalom on one of the weekdays!! But it's alot already and i'm gonna have to learn to perfect it and use in situations. I learnt that t-brake, although very very useful, is sometimes not useful enough to brake in time esp on a downslope or sth where the distance is too short to react. This was what i found out during the food skate today. It ended up in me pseudo hockey-stopping to prevent myself from ending up as chopped meat for a car on the road, and in another instance, led me to jump (which i surprisingly didn't fall!!) to regain my stability. So much for reacting in situations. It really does work!
Well well looks like the update was quite long after all! Okie-dokie that's it for now, till next time!
current mood:  sleepy

12:19 pm - The Love Parade Concert!
|
There hasn't been that much to update on recently, except well, on schoolwork. But who wants to listen to me rambling on and on about work? So i can only write about the exciting things in my life, the latest of the spate which is Fish Leong's Love Parade Concert 2005. It was held last night at the Indoor Stadium and i went with Darryl (after so much persuasion because he's not one for chinese songs!). The concert was supposed to start at 8 and we were seated at about 740. At that time the whole place was still pretty empty and both of us watched as people slowly trickled in. I thought it would start at 815, but Darryl said 830 and true enough, it begin at 830 *grumble* At that moment, a random though came into my head as i was pretty peeved by everyone who was so late! I told Darryl that my wedding would have to start on time or i would be really irritated! =)
Anyhow, Jing Ru's (i cannot use Fish la cos that would mean my other friend ;)) costumes, as most chinese concert costumes were, weird and very feathery! Hrmm. Out of all the 5 outfits, i like the last 2 best. The special guests invited were Jackie Chan's son (he looks like the dad but in a good way!) and Emil Chau! How cool! Emil Chau had so much stage presence and he was completely at ease with the crowd. Plus we were laughing continually at what he said. The duets he and Jing Ru sung were awesome..both had such great voices! I wish i could sing like that too...
The concert was well worth the money and it lasted like 3 and a half hours! Amazing ain't it? I can't believe her stamina!! After the concert, the whole place was a crush and Darryl and I decided to sit down and talk while waiting for the crowd to hail their cabs. So we did =) And it was a really nice talk by the river. I remember we were touching on the commitment issue, and Darryl so sweetly said i expressed it more eloquently than he did ehehehe (ya right! Who's the editor here eh eh eh?) . But anyway, i said there were 2 types of commitment (i was talking about marriage commitment after say 20 years into the relationship or sth). The first one is commitment where you commit for the sake of it--because the vows etc have already been said. After 20 years, that relationship has lost its spark and what's left is only the outer core (which is kinda sad). The second type is commitment because you see the reason in doing so. You take the initiative to keep the spark alive, and you commit because you truly care for and still love the person. And i think we should all have the second type of commitment don't we? =)
Anyway, after most of the crowd dissipated, we hailed our cab and went back. There was actually a police check on the way home and i thought it was so cool since i'd never been in one before! But aiyah, when we reached the front the police just waved us on our way. Chey. No fun.
Well i suppose that's about it for my update. A little long-winded here and there la, but not too bad!

2:31 am - Short Breather
|
The busiest of my weeks (so far) has just passed and i can finally take a well-deserved breather.
I'm feeling better today =) Not sure about my direction at the mo, but i do believe 船到桥头自然直 =) so one little step a day will lead to a more beautiful day eventually!
I just realised how i'm beginning to grow up. I realise now that the choices i make all have consequences, and so i can no longer be that hasty. We're all growing up, and sometimes that's scary, because growing up carries alot of responsibilities with it, and i'm not sure i'm ready for them yet.
Anyway, a couple of lines just thought up:
我之所以凭感觉，
是因相信自己的幸福，
会出现在不久后的将来。
current mood: thoughtful
current music: Toy Soldiers
