2012-02-02T09:47:00.002+08:00

HELLO:)

I had an AWESOME sleep yesterday night!! Because FYP is over!!

I'm glad that we did not die during the Q&A session. Phew, Thank God:)

Our baby- Da Report.

This shows how much preparation was done for the presentation.

DFST!!

CNY 2012:D

2012-01-30T21:48:00.002+08:00

GONG XI FA CAI EVERYONE:)

When i am a kid, Chinese new year is all about wearing new clothes, eating nice food and getting angbao..
As i grow older, I learn how to appreciate the meaning of this festival more. CNY is no longer about the scaring away the monster but more of a celebration of togetherness. Can never understand why people prefer to spend the holiday overseas. Why not take advantage of the holiday to spend quality time with your family??

Anyways, my Chu yi is the same every year. We will visit our late-grandparents in the morning, queue for free vegetarian mee sua and lunch at uncle's place:)
Talking about my ah gong and ah ma, I really miss them alot:(

------

We were fooling around with this mini lion dance prop at uncle's place.

My daddy is soooo cute right!!!!

Back Home:) People came visiting!!!

Look at the photos below. Half of the people in the photo are my nephews and niece.

Yes. we are about the same age =.=

Complicating family tree.

AND! I really don't like how my eyes disappear when i smile. :(

CHU ER!

Every chu er my mom's siblings will gather at my uncle's house where my ahma used to live:)

Prep-ing for Ban Luck! :D

3 ban luck in the same game. from 3 sisters.
What are the odds??
we are gonna be so lucky this year :D

Me loves babies who don't cry:)

River AngBao!!
Weirdest name.

PSSS! My shoes are super nice right:)
13cm killer heels and i wore them the entire day.
A pat on my back!

Thats all for my chu yi and er:)

Change.

2012-01-28T15:07:00.001+08:00

FYP has been overwhelming. Way too overwhelming.
I am reading aimlessly hoping information will register themselves in my brain. Did they? No idea. My brain feels heavy but at the same time, empty. I better pray hard the lecturers will show us some mercy in the Q&A session.

Enough of FYP. Now lets talk about me. Recently I made decisions that will affect my life and I was forced to grow up in the process. Think rationally. Think for others. Think like how a adult would. I realise that you would really do everything for people you love. Everything, even those which you don't wish to. I don;t think i can say it is a sacrifice. Because sacrifice is too strong a word.

Speaks.

2012-01-15T13:11:00.001+08:00

Came just in time.

Are you coming home for reunion dinner?

2012-01-12T21:40:00.002+08:00

I know this is just another advertisement but the meaning behind is so much more than wanting you to buy a bottle of pepsi.

It pretty much sums up why I fear of growing up. My fear of wanting to study overseas.

I am that type of person in the video above. As I spread my wings and fly, I get so occupied that I don't have time for anything else. Willing to give up all the time for things which I want to achieve. Though I haven "fly" yet, I know this is how I will do things. I really have to change.

And I know my parents are the type in the video too. Someone who will not force their kids but accommodate to them. It kinda saddens me when I watch this video because I cannot totally picture it happening to me. Terrible, so terrible.

Toh Xinni ah Toh Xinni. 长大了还是要知道家在哪里。去哪里都好，记得要回家。

Random, like always

2012-01-04T18:40:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was the start of the last term in poly.The last 2 months! I have said this millions of times and I will say it again, Time flies at an unbelievable fast speed. At a blink of an eye, here I am. A soon-to-be poly graduate and 3 years older. An another blink of an eye, I will be a university grad and 24? OH MY GAWD! Save me! I am growing up too fast. My life is going to get serious. *Bang wall*

Enough of complaining about being old. There is nothing I can do except including anti-winkle cream into my daily skin care regime.*shake head*

Okay. At least there is something within my control- FYP! "We" have pieced the report together and really, WOWWW!! I am amazed. Very proud of our work :) In the mist of the project I didn't know that we have done so much. A very big sense of satisfaction:) Can't wait for the day when we can finally print it out!!!

2012

2012-01-01T00:20:00.001+08:00

Been thinking if I should have "TOH XINNI'S NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2012". But nah. Since I never keep to my resolutions then why bother? I KNOW RIGHT :D

Nonetheless I am pretty excited about 2012. Gotta feeling it will be quite a happening one!
Because:
1) Poly graduation (wearing that harry potter robe thing and grad trip!)
2) I am turning 21:)
3) University!

3 major events in life.

FYI, I just countdown-ed at home. Yes!I spent the 5,4,3,2,1 moment with my lovely family at home:) This is the benefit of having a instantly high family and living in a house which you can see fireworks from Marina Bay, Tampines, Khatib and JB. (Realise that neighbourhood countdown are the trend these years. SUPER COOL).

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 2012, no matter end-of-the-world or not, live it to the fullest!
and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY:D

WITH A BLAST!

2011-12-25T21:18:00.002+08:00

Hi earthlings:) It has been awhile since I last updated this tiny space of mine.Not that anyone cares but life has been B.U.S.Y with school work (what else??)..But since today is Christmas,I thought I can cut myself some slack and NOT do anything. like a boss! OH YA! Ultimate shiokness.

I have got so much to blog about. My bangkok trip, Christmas Party with the Popiah and some other random things. LETS GO!!

The Family when to Bangkok the 2nd day after the end of my MST! Perfect getaway for me:) I think it gradually become a tradition in our family to have a annual vacation. AWESOME.
Photos are in SD card which is in G12 which is with sister who is out:) Understand?? Will update on this part when she is back. LOL.

I don't know how many times must I thank God for this amazing group of friends. They are just one of the greatest, most amazing gift given to me :)

I so LOVE you guys. Every single one of you!! My poly life will be so bland and boring without you people!

Look at this amount of food!!!! I know it doesn't look alot but it is.. We were filled to the brim. Not forgetting there is a log cake not in the photo.
Note to self: Do not count the calories *tears rolling in eyes :(*

The girls!!! As you can see, the theme is red and green!!

The Popiahs!!! Muacks.

The reindeer couple!! :)

My favorite picture of the night :D Mega LOVE!

Recently, I started attending church again.Best way to end off 2011.

New Year's Eve

2011-12-15T23:27:00.001+08:00

Before I left for Bangkok, I managed to catch New Year's Eve.
The movie is all about being optimistic for the coming year. About how a new year is a 2nd chance to do what you failed to this year.

" What is the one thing you will do if you know you wouldn't fail?? Now. Go out there and do it"

This movie made me reflect on my year.How did things change since the last year? How did I change? What have I changed? What have I accomplished? What did I fail to do?

The many many decisions I made this year seem to flash through my mind one by one.

2011 is a very important year in my life. A very important turning point. My big Two-Zero year. Alot of tears, tons of laughter, a bucket of sweat and a heart full of gratefulness. So many things happened this year how do I even start? So many of which I don't think I can easily put it in words.

So.ITP. I learnt that in life, your amount of effort is not proportional to what you get in return. How depressing this statement is? But I realise that being optimistic is the key to being tough. I am thankful for what I have went through because it made me tougher. I am very sure. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Dalian. An eye widening experience:) From culturally challenged to dying to go back. From classmates to friends. From understanding to caring. From caring to loving.

This year I learn that you need to let the heart feel and the brain to do the right thing. Sometimes, letting go will be the right thing to do. Ending is another beginning.

2011 is the year I go back to God:)

If We Hold On Together

2011-12-15T22:00:00.000+08:00

Hey Peepooo! :)

Listen to this!! Beautiful aint it??? I actually prefer the instrumental version. Very Dreamy:) Maybe its the instrument.

Walking on Air

2011-12-10T15:05:00.000+08:00

Hey! So YEAH! MST is over sweeties :D Inhale the air of freedom. BREATHEEE!!!

It has become an tradition for me to blog about my post test/exam euphoria. Haha. Like seriously!Read the posts in May, September, December and March. Anyways, the gist is, I am very happy.Full Stop.

Yesterday I met up with my OPSS friends. They are such an amazing bunch :) Went over to Esplanade to have a catching up cum drinking session. It never fails to amaze me how a lousy drinker I am. 1/2 a cocktail and I started sprouting nonsense. Mega FAIL.

Know what another mega fail is? Yesterday was the first time I went to the Esplanade area after years.I know right =.= Anyways, the view is breathtaking even at 2am!! Isn't it awesome if you can work in one of those buildings one day??

I have to revert myself back to a more serious mode from the oh-i-am-so-happy state. Need to have some serious thoughts about furthering my studies overseas. I pride myself for being a quick, firm and slightly impulsive decision maker for big decisions. Okay.I am weird. I can make big decisions like studying overseas in a snap of your fingers but I need weeks to ponder whether I should buy a dress. Girls are Girls indeed:)

Hmmm. Because sometimes in life you need some impulse to have the courage to do things. If you think about this and worried about that, at the end of the day nothing will be done. You will achieve nothing!

The thing which is annoying me to no end is not to or not to go. I am going for sure. But where to go? My current plan is UK. Big question 2: Which university? I am spending so much on a certificate so it gotta be worth it.

What if I go, met someone and never come back? I will be the worst person in the universe:(

2 paper down!

2011-12-06T21:19:00.003+08:00

Hey people!!!!

1 more MST paper left to go..And I'm HHHHAAAAPPPPYYYY:D
Maybe I could have dont better for these 2 paper, but what can I do now? Nothing! except smiling like a total retard.

Seriously. I'm smiling too much these few days. WAYY too much. Maybe I've gone bonkers??
Exams just made me crazier.Period.

Oh ya, and! THE TOH FAMILY IS GOING TO BANGKOK THIS COMING SUNDAY:D
We are going to brave the flood in the name of shopping! Hmmm. What did you just read? Shopping? I meant SHOES SHOES SHOES, clothes, bags, accessories, SHOES SHOES SHOES. Nuff said.
How not to be happy??? :D

The Popiah Gang is going to have a Christmas PARTY! Hanging out with the most irritating people on Earth, doing the most retarded things together.
How not to be happy??? :D

December is a HAPPY month and I am a HAPPY girl!
(oops! I dont mean to sound like some sanitary pad advertisement!)

Okay. This has got nothing to do with mst or being happy etc. Just something out of the blue.
I can't believe that some of my friends are married and already have kid(s). Conclusion: I am old.

My Dad: The Best Dad Ever.

2011-12-02T23:26:00.003+08:00

I know I really should be studying but with all these emotions pouring in I have to pen down my thought. Right now.

Always been very glad that one of the SPOT students. Because of the opportunities and exposures that comes with it. Today in SPOT class we were introduced to this poetry written by a SP student :) A beautiful piece written on a abusive father..Would definitely post it here if i can find it.

This piece of poetry made me reflect on my own Dad. How awesome, how doting, how wonderful this man is. I wonder if I will tear up while writing this post.

I remembered when I was in primary school my teacher wanted me to write about my Dad. This is how I described him- My super hero. During my childhood my Dad is the one who was always encouraging us. We had never get a scolding from him for doing badly for school. When my mother wanted to cane me for the naughty things I did, I would always hide behind his back. Because I knew he will protect me for sure. True enough, he would block my mother from me and I rarely got hurt. Remembered that my mom would hit him by accident. That figure who shield me, is my hero.

My Dad who came home everyday with a big smile after a tiring day at work. My parents are hawkers. Imagine the tedious day at work! But his cheerful chirpy character will always greet us at night. I think the 3 of us all inherited this character of his. Thankful. I admire his "never say die" attitude. And I am again thankful that I have abit of that in me as well:) Though did not receive much education he is a very knowledgeable man. How many people you know who did not finish primary school and know about Myanmar, China, Vietnam and most asian country's history? In depth history I mean. With all the years and names of the prime ministers and other government officials? The one who made me interested in current affair, gave me knowledge and shaped my character is my hero.

Few years back when I was in my O level year. I was the scholar for my stream. He was so proud of me that he couldn't help bragging to everyone he met about me. Until now. Yes, even after 3 years. My hero who is proud of me regardless.

I am thankful of the life my Dad give me. The hard earned money he made with his rough hands brought the 3 of us up. Not only raise us up, support us through education and etc. During exams when stress piled up to the point where I just could not take it anymore and broke down. He was there. He did not say anything but the way he pat the back of my head says it all. That is my hero who gave me comfort when life is giving me hell.

Remembered several posts earlier I mentioned wanting to get a loan for uni? He did not want me to. He want to support me through my university years. He said "我只可以为你做这么多。以后就要自己靠自己了 ". I smiled. But what I was thinking is “真的已经很多了". The hero who is willing to path my future.

I looked at him. Realised his greying hair. He said "爸爸老了“ It saddens me to hear that. I suddenly realise that all these years when I was busy growing up I neglected the fact that my parents are growing old.

Yup, I teared.

I am so lucky to have the best Dad ever. I love you:)

2011-11-30T19:07:00.000+08:00

那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情

One of those emo shit.

2011-11-29T22:24:00.004+08:00

I am kinda emotional now for unknown reasons. Today went pretty well. Everything is falling in place nicely. Even my finance presentation went even better than what I expect. So what is the problem??

With Mst just round the corner, this is probably the worst time to think about "things". I've been wondering about well....the complicating concept of love. After being single for close to 6months, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm one of those who will eventually don't believe in love and rather to be single. God knows where all these thoughts come from but ya, this is what is running through my mind.

I see people (including myself) falling in and out of love, falling in and out of relationship. There is always someone updating their relationship status from "In a relationship" to "single" or "its complicated". Bet there are more who make the change silently. It really sets me wondering if the so called Love ever exist. Or isit just a few hormones reacting to make you feel this way. People say true love can withstand time, distance and age. So, what is true love? Then isit possible to love someone without being true?

You know when people fall in love and their universe only holds the both of them. When just looking at each other made their day. A kiss or a hug would mean everything. Till the point when everything change. You can't bear the look on each other's face. A kiss or hug is just part of the routine. Everything becomes the exact opposite. Love fade away you said (even I said that). But what does it really mean?

Lets talk about the future. I hear this all the time "when the right one comes, you will know what true love is. When the right one comes, everything will fall in place. when the right one comes, when the right one comes" But, is there really a right one? Or isit just another make believe? Maybe, just maybe. There is so such thing as love in this world. There is only willingness and suitability.

It is saddening having to be doubt something I used to believe in. Strongly believe in!! Probably its part of growing up. Your fairytale dream dies a little as you wake up a little to reality.

Kampong girl.

2011-11-25T21:16:00.004+08:00

Day after day, I become more and more kampong. Living in a world of my own far far away from urbanization. This is not a joke. Even though Singapore is so pea-sized small and accessible, I haven manage to visit MANY of those new places. I haven go to Marina Barrage, Marina Bay Sands, Resort World, Universal Studio and Flyer(how long has it been ard??) etc. Basically all those newly developed places in the past 3-5years. Worse than a tourist. So lack of exposure:(

I blame all these on my bad sense of direction. YUP! Its not my fault! My probability of getting lost is so high that i don't even want to explore new places. Can you believe that getting around SP can be quite a challenge for me at times. Be amazed. You ought to cos even I am.

My father always says "Like that how to study overseas? Confirm die".
My sentiments exactly.

On a side note, heres the new kid on the rack!

Contrary to popular belief that I buy shoes for no good reason, I have and had a good reason for my indulgence:D Shoes to me are like rewards. After working hard etc I deserve a little treat! and thats when shoes comes into the picture, This mega love velvet blue wedge is for surviving week 5 and hand up all the assignments (to date) on time..

Too fast to judge.

2011-11-23T21:33:00.000+08:00

There is one thing I hate about the human nature- Being Judgmental. We judge everything every second of our lives and as much as we know "never judge a book by its cover" we never quite practice it.

I am guilty of this. Judging people too quickly. Sometimes, oh well, most of the time, that first judgement will be overthrown after knowing someone better. But again, that is if you are willing to know the person better. How many times have you hear yourself says this " At first I thought XXX is *something* but after I know her she is *something else*". We hate being judge but we are judging people.Its a viscous cycle.Never ending.

Worst of all, sometimes you penalize people before you even know them! Isn't it amusing? It doesn't even sounds logical yet we are doing it everyday. "Wah. I don't like that celeb. Very proud." Do you know that celeb personally?? Then who are you to judge? In another occasion, you dislike someone because you "hear things" from others.Are you involved personally? Then who are you to judge?

Having said that, its easy to say that its nasty to judge people so quickly blah blah blah but when you need to turn words into action, its hard. I really wonder about this human nature thingy. Isit really something that runs in our blood or something which had became a habit and our way of life?

Embrace being Busy.

2011-11-19T11:57:00.000+08:00

Just look at how committed I am with blogging:) Yesterday I updated and now I am here again!!

Realised that I am always saying that my schedule is crazy, life is busy busy busy. But its true. I or rather We are very busy.. Then I realise something. I enjoy being busy.Waking up everyday knowing that something needs to be done. I enjoy life like that, I enjoy the madness! :D

I am a SURVIVOR!!

2011-11-18T19:16:00.001+08:00

Hello Everyone!!!!!

I SURVIVED WEEK 5 PEOPLE!!

I handed up 3 formal reports and 3 datasheets :)
Can you see that I'm grinning from ear to ear?? Can you Can you? I lived past the most stressful hectic week of the term. Please give me a pat on my back, I totally deserve it.

Yes stress. How do you people relief stress and tension? Because for me, its RETAIL THERAPY! And you have no idea how much I shopped this week. I'm already quite a online shopaholic. Now with all the stress I'm not a shopaholic. I'm a shopping beast! A monster! RAWRR~

Another pat on my back. I created my blogskin myself! Awesome! Even though blogger made it idiot proof, I am still proud of my work. *thumbs up!*

2011-11-15T18:51:00.001+08:00

I am in my school's starbucks now.Totally knocked out after 4hours of report writing.My back is aching, my shoulders are stiff and my brain is lagging. I need to freshen up!! So I am here.

Whenever I hear someone crack their knuckles I cannot help but to feel uneasy. Lately I am even more sensitive to this sound than ever!! Its EVERYWHERE ANYWHERE.. I don't know, it sounds scary..And people don't only crack their knuckles. They crack their knee, their arm and my goodness, NECK! Yes its perfectly normal but the sound send chill down my spine. Sometimes my joint will crack when i move, stretch etc but i don't do that purposely.
I don't do this:

I am not a goon-do to believe that the bone will break and the person will die. The sound is actually due to nitrogen gas bubbles bursting when you crack your joint (i researched that!). Yes, it is harmless. But i still am very disturbed by the sound.

Reluctantly I need to work on my report now. Promised myself to only leave this place when I finish my report. My goodness. Someone save me.

And people, stop cracking your joint!!!!

2011-11-12T21:35:00.004+08:00

I am drowning in assignments..This semester is madness. Ultimate MADNESS!!!

This coming week is week 5 and I have 3 FORMAL REPORTS AND 3 DATASHEET DUE!!

My GAWD! I have been working my ass off to complete all these assignments. But thank God, the lecturers all want a 5pg formal report rather than the usual 10. Phew!

Because of all these assignment madness, I had a new life quote. "When you are all kanchiong spider, that is when your efficiency reaches the peak." I completed 1 formal report in 1-2 days-ish!! 2 thumbs up for efficiency and doing the impossible. Okay. It sounds very insignificant but for me, it IS mission impossible. The way I do things is one word-SLOW. I like to research slowly, analyse the data slowly and write the report even slower.

Yes, back to my quote. I am currently in a extremely kanchiong state. Like many people in school I have "too many things to do but too little time". MST is in 3 weeks later and i have not started studying. Before you go WALAU! you need to understand that i am a ~~very~~ KIASU student. After MST comes FYP report submission and "The Presentation"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all the FYP thingy end, EST! Not forgetting all those assignments every now and then.I have got no time to take a breather.

Off now. Guess what I am going to do?? (pauses like Dora the explorer). YES, YOU ARE RIGHT! REPORTS :D

Love,

Kanchiong Spider

* don't mind me. Recently i am abusing the phrase "kanchiong spider". I dono. It just sounds so funnyyyy! LOL!

2011-11-10T19:27:00.000+08:00

This is a consolidation of all the birthday celebrations of my POPIAH GANG!

My above banner may sound and even look like what you get on a wedding invitation but I promise you, It is not !! LOL! Their birthdays were close to each other so we celebrated together.

I reassure you, they aren't together. Serious!

I <3 ALL OF YOU!!

2011-11-05T22:11:00.000+08:00

Cupcakes never fail to make me smile :)

They are just too pretty!

2011-11-03T20:37:00.000+08:00

If you have not notice, I changed a new blogskin!!!!!

Off to do my packaging assignment. Buais.

Friends-complete my life:)

2011-10-30T15:08:00.000+08:00

Thank you God for this group of friends i met in poly:)

Some people live their whole life and not have any true friends. But I have, not one but so many of them.

Thank you for the madness we had. The friendship we established. The funny moments we share.

I'm soon a liability

2011-10-29T16:58:00.000+08:00

Yup,it has been quite awhile..Has been very occupied with school.Devilish FYP who eats everybody and makes everyone mental..Seriously mental!! I think some of us are gonna be tied up by that long sleeved wayang white robe and be thrown into the room with cushioned walls.HAHAHA. Being my usual self of exaggerating :D 2 days ago, Gina and I talked to the muffins and oven. Communicating with them about doing us a favour by being awesome. I even named the oven 'The Majestic Sweden Oven". Retarded much??Haha. They turn out pretty good and got decent reviews for our sensory evaluation!!!

A little shout out to my panelists: Thank you so much for coming to our sensory evaluation!!!! Really appreciate all of you. Probably no one will read this space but still, THANKYOU ALL 50 OF YOU:)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay.The above have nothing to do with my title.
In recent months my future, university education, has been bugging me!! Can see right??? There are so many blog post regarding this issue. I have changed from option to option so many times that I don't even know what i want anymore. From SIM to SIT, from marketing to social science to economics to hospitality to nutrition. I even considered studying food science again. Extremely sick of thinking about the future but can't stop thinking about it :(

What exactly do I want in life?? What do I wanna do in future??
After much thought I made up my mind - I wanna get an overseas business degree. I knew all along this is what I want but what holding me back is the money. Did you see how much it cost?? Its a freaking 6 digit number! How horrifying is that?? That is a huge amount of money to adults let alone a poly student.

I know dad can afford my overseas education. He told me that he is willing to invest in me. But again, it is 6 big fat digit price tag!!! Just thinking about it made me feel bad. I am a student but not a kid anymore therefore, I want to be responsible of my own education. I am getting a study loan to pay for my degree. So yup, I am going to be in debt soon :) Maybe I am going to suffer 4 years later when I need to repay my loan but at least I made up my mind :D 9 more months of being debt-free. After study loan comes housing loan followed by car loan and etc.When will i be debt-free again??? HMMMMMM.

Regarding where am I going, probably Brisbane. Pretty drawn to University of Queensland. Or Adelaide? Leading some very very slow paced life.

This is a decision that cannot be a mistake. I can't afford it being a mistake. I pray to God that it is not a mistake.

Singaporean Auntie!

2011-09-29T19:48:00.000+08:00

This morning 2 auntie totally spoil my morning!!

What they did made me wanted to shout "F*** off". FYI I rarely use the F word unless I was extremely extremely pissed!!! So, what they did? They stood in front of me when i was waiting for a cab! I was already very frustrated after standing under the scorching sun for 20mins with no empty cab in sight!! Was going to be late. Frustrated, anxious and they wanna snatch my cab!!
I BET YOU ALL KNOW HOW I FELT! Seriously if they really got a cab at that position I'm so gonna show them my finger or something! SO ANGRY LORH!!! This kinda auntie always brought out the worst in me. I've yet to use my golden finger in my 20years of life.I wonder who will this "lucky" person be?

Oh yes, after glaring at them FIERCELY a number of times, I decide to change my position and got a cab faster than them! HA! I WON!

End of my rant.

Whats next?

2011-09-24T20:46:00.000+08:00

Gawd Gawd Gawd.

I just got my exam results a few days ago. Not too bad i would say,considering I was a slacker this semester.

I maintained my cumulative GPA of 3.4.

As I move towards the last semester in my diploma I need to think about "what's next?" Work? Further Studies? There are so many things which are flooding my mind lately. All these where, what, why, when and how are driving me crazy..People commented that I'm always thinking about things which have not happen. I guess thats me. I like planning ahead. I can't strive when I'm unsure of what I'm striving for.

One thing for sure. I'm not going to continue studying food science. Oh well, i enjoy studying it. It is an interesting field to study but I just don't see myself working there 5 years down the road. I figured that I'm not a very science-ish and math-ish person. I enjoy working with people rather than with chemicals and huge machines.

I don't relate these 3 years in poly as a waste of time. I learnt alot on my course of study(FOOD!), met amazing people along the way and realise things about myself that I don't in earlier years. I like telling this to people "I still do product development. Just that I change the location from labs to my own kitchen :) ".

Like many of my fellow Singaporeans, I want to get into a local university. That's where smarties go,right?

But everyone knows that our 3 prestigious local universities are EXTREMELY HARD to get in. I heard people with 3.8 getting rejected. That is scary shit. Think about it, 3.8 meant getting A for most of the modules in poly. So yes, my dream bubble burst. How depressing.

SIT seems to be the next best choice. They offer this degree programme in Hotel Adminstration which interest me GREATLY! :) However, how can i compete with people holding related diplomas?? I just pray hard that I'm offered a place. If they do, P.R.O.B.L.E.M S.O.L.V.E.D. If they don't, what's next (again)?

9/11

2011-09-11T22:22:00.000+08:00

11 September 2001, this date is not alien..It was the day the world fell in grief as USA was hit by the most horrible terrorist attack. The speed time flies never fails to awe me. Can you believe it? It has been 10years but it still felt like yesterday.

10 years ago, I was in Primary 3..I could never forget this day which officially introduce the word and idea "Terrorist" into my life..I still remember photos of building came scrambling down with heavy smoke coming out from it hit the headlines everyday..It scare me.Perhaps I'm really too young to understand what was really going on.All i knew was something very very serious happened and alot of people dead..

A particular scene impacted me the most, its when people started running about the streets crying. Their facial expression explains how helpless, scared and desperate they were. Some people were injured, some people wanted to go back into the burning building because someone they cared was inside, some people just sat by the road side wondering what the hell happened.

Today, 10 years passed. Have we forgotten the lesson we learnt 10years ago??

As Singaporeans have we understood that we cannot and should not take security for granted??Just because did not happen to us it doesn't mean that we should be complacent..

2011-09-05T23:06:00.000+08:00

Yea Yea Yea, I know. I've been neglecting this little space of mine..

You know, Exam shits..Yup! I shall not rant further..I know u know how i feel :( it rhythms!

So since I've all the time in the world today, I shall CHOP CHOP and finish up my China post!

Continuing from where i stopped the previous time, EXCURSION!!! We went to this strawberry farm in Dalian:) Quite an extraordinary experience!! You just pluck the strawberries from the plant and "nom nom nom" eat it..And now u question about hygiene. Hmmmm.Who cares,these were the sweetest most delicious strawberries I've eaten in my LIFE( okay.thats abit exaggerating). I shall re-phrase it, these AWESOME strawberries worth eating soil. Perfect.

A picture on the food. Now, can you feel the veggie-ness??

TWINNIE AND ME! Its amazing how a person can think and act at an exact same wavelength as you:) And by exact, I mean to the decimal point.

GORGEOUS SAKURA!

We went to the Discovery Kingdom!!!!!I can safely assume that it is a China Disney or USS.
You must be thinking about the amazing rides I took. All the thrilling roller coasters and other heart attack worthy rides.Hmmmm. The truth is, I didn't take any.Gina and I chickened out!! LOL!! While my dearest classmates were screaming their lungs out, we went around cam-whoring..
Nuff said. Here goes the pictures.

I have a secret obsession with this kinda put-your-face-there-and-snap-a-stupid-photo mascot :D
Because they always look hilarious!

WITH MY DALIAN FAMILY!!

What I like about the place: ITS LIKE A CARTOON TOWN!!

Write a message to your love:)

We saw this and all of us go "WHAT THE HELL!!!"
So the people of Dalian think the following came from Singapore. =.=

RIDES!!!
The birdie ride was the only ride gina and i took.
It freaked her out and made me dizzy. Okay lah.We are lousy.

I shall end Discovery Kingdom with a picture of me playing a piano. Hey! I heard "Chey!!" from the other side of the computer. Appreciate it okay. Its rare seeing the tone deaf me playing a piano.

This korean restaurant just a stone's throw away from the university is our favorite makan place. I miss the chicken soup which is super Singaporean-ish :(
Its real pity that I don't have any picture of the food. We are hungry people you see.

Im the Migraine girl.

2011-08-05T22:03:00.000+08:00

Hey people, welcome once again to my mundane and monotonousness life:)

Life is BORING!

For the past weeks I've not done anything other than STUDYING, ASSIGNMENTS, STUDYING AND ASSIGNMENTS..Yes, i need to emphasize it twice..

Today marked the start of my test/exam weeks!! Life is not getting easier at least for the next few weeks:(

Sad life indeed, I'm diagnosed with migraine by my family doctor 2 days ago..I am quite a coward when it comes to seeing the doctor unless it is really really really necessary!!!! So its not surprising that I've lived with this condition of frequent headaches on one side of my head for the past 4 years. Panadol is my best friend and that is if it still works.After so many years of relying on it, i'm immune to its effect i guess.

Exams stress is definitely worsening my condition. Making the frequency of headaches higher than usual. You know how irritating it is when you are trying to study and there you go, headache attacks??? VERY, EXTREMELY, ULTIMATELY.

Sometimes my attitude towards my well being worries me. All i wanna get out of the visit to the doc is not to know what is wrong with myself or to cure the problem. I just wanna get effective painkillers to get me through the exam period..

Seriously, I'm dying young.

Thoughts.

2011-07-27T22:28:00.001+08:00

I'm at another junction of life. Its either a left turn or right turn.Being a very rational person, i almost never let emotions get into my way.The brain weigh out the pros and cons and tada, decision made.Right? Wrong? Its just my character i guess. I hear people say this countless times, " follow your heart". What does it really mean? Listen to my heart? HOW?
Maybe I just don't have a heart. Someone said to me before, shut off your brain and you will be able to listen to what your heart gotta say. Once again, HOW?? For the past 20years of my life, did i ever hear what my heart (if i have one) gotta say?? I'm not trying to be emo-ish, just trying to find an answer to a question which I've been pondering for years.

People always relate heart to love. Because the heart is the most vital organ for survival, just like how love is vital to life..In the context of romantic relationship, How true is it?

Dalian to Beijing.

2011-07-24T17:04:00.000+08:00

Just remembered that I've not finished blogging about my trip to China.

Heres a picture of the desks we had! Who had the messiest desk? Me, charmaine, gina or YJ???

Class excursion!! What do girls do when they need to kill time- take photos.

Till next time!

Dear Hair.

2011-07-24T15:15:00.000+08:00

Remind me again why did i cut my long hair?? Now im waiting forever for it to grow back to that length..Why is my hair growing at such turtle speed????!!! ARGH!!

MY LONG HAIR!! I MISS YOU!!

Probably i should go get extensions. Nah, my friends will kill me.
Long wait to get that length back. 1-2 years minimum..

Dear friends, if one random day in life i mention anything about cutting my long hair, SLAP ME!! Thank you very much.

STOP ALL THESE CRAPS.

2011-07-16T01:13:00.000+08:00

I need to get this out of my system once and for all.

They say money is the root of all evils. I used to be skeptical about this statement but now, couldn't agree more.. Recently i finally understand that people do anything for money. Have you ask yourself this question " What extend will you go to for money?" Take up multiple jobs, lowering yourself, cheat or going against your own morals and values?? WHY, the last point? I don't get it. Is it me? I grew up in a financially very stable home. My parents made more than enough for us to live comfortably and hence I don't know how it feels like being tight financially..

I don't believe that anyone can make you do things which you don't want. It works 2 way. There are people who want or need service in that area but if you are not willing, who can force you to?? Stop pushing the blame to others. In need of money is an excuse. Everyday there are billions of people around the word who need money. How many of them make decisions like yours? The decision is made by YOU! Didn't you consider the consequences before taking up jobs like that?? Do you have any idea how SCREW UP you are?? Do you know what screw you up? Clubbing, slutty friends and bastard boyfriends. I wonder if you see the common point in these 3 factors. YOU made them. You made the decision to frequent clubs and let them interfere your school life. You made slutty friends because you think sluts are pretty and you wanna be one of them.Just look at what type of job they introduce to you. You chose to date a person you know from club.A sucker whom you know is a jerk and nothing more.

We are not angry, just plain disappointed. You made us immune to all your lies and shits. Do you have any idea how tiring it is having to judge what you said is true and what is not? The brutal truth is, we/i can't trust you anymore. I feel like a total idiot because i felt my heart sank and even cried when i saw all those photo. I kept my fingers crossed that it is not you. I rather believe that someone played a prank on us. But NO! I don't understand why are you doing this to yourself. Do you know something known as self-respect?? Instead of asking where did your courage to take those photo come from, I rather ask you where is your sense of shame?? Do you know how disgusting and embarrassing it is?? When can you speak the truth? Are you sure it is only pictures??Nothing more than that??

Lastly, I need to stress a point. WE DO NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING. I think we have done more than what friends should do. We stood by you when your bastard boyfriend disappoint time after time. We advice you tirelessly to leave him. We helped you in your school work. We tried to cover for you when you appear on STOMP. What did we get in return? Your lies. Thank you and Goodbye. We are not friends anymore.

My love.

My obsession with shoes is insane.Really insane..

I tell this to many people i met, " pretty shoes brings you to pretty places :D"

It sounds like something a naive 11 year old will say but WHATEVER!! Everyone has their little guilty pleasure and mine is SHOES!!

Awhile ago i did a little stock take on my shoes:)

Okay, I admit that the number shock me quite abit..It reminded me why my shoes have to be separated into 3 shoe-drobes!!!!Mummy threatens to sell my shoes all the time. She says that jokingly but it never fails to make my heart skip a beat..ALAMAK! MAYBE IM REALLY CRAZY!

Probably I'm living a Cinderella dream. Finding the perfect fitting glass slippers will lead me to my prince charming. Nah..Just joking.I'm not a fairytale person.

Probably one day my obsession will stop. That day will be the day I stop breathing.

when only lyrics can describe how u feel.

2011-07-13T22:44:00.000+08:00

本来总是牵着的手
现在怎么各自寂寞
你在抽完烟后还要忙什么

本来总是浪漫帜热
现在怎么被动冷漠
你的心里是否还剩下温柔

假如我提的每个梦你
都觉得沉重 WOOH~
我还能够做什么是放手或泪流

以前说的不是这种以后
快乐不该变得像彩虹
都要让大雨淋过才短暂拥有

以前要得不是这种以后
感动被生活辗过
爱情就磨成了寂寞

以前说的不是这种以后
心事不该窒息的锁着
相爱也不该变成互相痛快的指责

以前要的不是这种以后
看幸福慢慢褪色
爱你值得不值得

10 things about me

2011-07-10T14:45:00.000+08:00

1) I have terrible sense of direction.

2) I'm a half gemini and half cancer.

3) I'm hate lizards. ANY KIND OF LIZARDS. BIG SMALL SHORT LONG.

4) I think birds look scary.

5) Injections scare the crap out of me.

6) I love thai food. esp, Tom Yum soup:)

7) I can never finish watching a drama series. Usually I will watch the 1st episode, guess the ending and watch the last episode. Maybe watch 2 episode in the middle?

8) Short attention span (i think no.7 is also related to this)

9) I think the sound made by tattooing is hair rising.

10) I prefer window seats in cars and planes.

Tina, Kris, Gina and Me

2011-06-30T22:04:00.000+08:00

I have tons of thing to do but nothing can get me started..Motivation, Motivation where are you????

School has already started for a week and seriously, I'm going bananas!!

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MY KRIS AND TINA IN CLASS:(

The 4 of us used to sit next to each other in class..Kris will sing her stupid song which no one understands. Tina will play with her Iphone and listen to the teacher at the same time. Gina will start drawing some cartoons for no good reason. And I will decorate my lecture notes with multiple colour pens and highlighter.

I miss whining to each other how boring lessons are and how sleepy we were. I miss my calories counting partners. I miss all the juicy gossips!! I miss the time when we all brought homemade bread to school for the sake of saving money. I miss mugging together. I miss laughing at weird passerbys together. I miss laughing at each other when we make stupid mistakes. I miss doing stupid things together.

I miss my Kris and Tina :(

Yes, Thats the end.

2011-06-29T23:18:00.000+08:00

Ending relationships aren't the best things on Earth but they are also not the worst..When Love becomes a responsibility, do you think its still Love? When Love is just about being used to one another, do you think its still Love?

Its not anymore.

Yes, we broke up. Its the end of a 5years relationship.

I'm not gonna get all dramatic and treat it like a part of me dead..I don't understand why movies and some people portray breakups as sad, cry buckets of tears or there must be a 3rd party involved..Its everything but positive..

The thing is.People change over the years..If 2 people are not suitable for each other don't you think that its time to let each other go?? We grew up wanting to look for that special person in life. Mr or Miss Right if u prefer to call them that..A break up is merely giving each other another chance to look for that him/her..

As simple as that..

Earth is still rotating and the sun still rises the next day..LIFE MOVES ON!

Why should we be holding on to the past when the future is more important...

I AM BACK FROM CHINA!!

2011-06-19T19:15:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps..I'm back from my 2 months OIP in Dalian 2 weeks ago..

I apologise for not updating earlier.Well, I was going through a tough time emotionally hence I dont really have the mood to blog about my trip..Don't think I am ready to talk about this publicly..

Hmmm, ya. I really appreciate those who stood by me..Hearing me out, showing me understanding and send me text msges to make sure that I am okay..

Just wanna thank you guys:)

You made this period of time easier for me!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Yes.Back to my trip.

You have no idea HOW MUCH FUN IT WAS!!!

Although we were there on a study trip, it felt more like a vacation.haha.

Having said that home is still the best!!!You have no idea how much we missed our beds, toliet bowls (ppl in china prefer squat toliets), LIFT!!!, traffic and FOODDDD!!!

You really have to undergo this to really understand how AWESOME Singapore is. There are so many things which we took for granted.Simple things that we didn't even took their existence seriously.The lyrics of "HOME" by kit chan basically is describing how we felt!!!How you yearn to be home..Aiya, in short homesick is a bitch..Staying near the airport didn't make things better lorh..

if I am not wrong, we set off to Dalian on 16th April:) was a midnight flight..

We stopped by Beijing International Airport to catch their domestic flight to Dalian..

The funny thing is, our first encounter with locals was a Chinese couple quarreling in the airport..The woman was so fierce that she looked like a tigress ready to eat her prey up..I don't even know if they were quarreling or is she screaming at him.And the poor guy kept quiet lah.

Our Lunch:)

ON OUR WAY TO DALIAN!!!

THE BUILDING WE HAD OUR CLASSES IN!

Nice architecture right???? Dalian was occupied by the Russians for quite a long time.This explains why the buildings there looks more angmoh..Pretty pretty building. I would appreciate more if it hadn't smell like cat's urine and has a lift..

The weather was freaking cold the first 2 week..It ranges from 4-10 degrees..OMG! I thought my nose was gonna drop anytime.

I need to do my assignment now.Will continue the update soon.

Sunday Blues

2011-03-27T14:33:00.000+08:00

Its Sunday again and just as you thought that Monday blues is bad, Sunday blues is WORSE!

You are looking at your weekend slip by second by second..Argh, sad max.

Since i can't stop time i'm gonna reminisce my very first Working(but not studying) TGIF!!

Spent with my AWESOME AWESOME friends, eating, drinking and not getting drunk:D

Having ZiCha is a pretty wulu kopitiam in Bukit Batok.

But food were cheap and go!!! :D

I know that i suck at taking photos of food.I know okay!

We went to shop around West Mall after our meal..And Guess what caught our attention??? SOJU!!

*Faking an enthusiasm* Haha..As if it wasn't obvious enough.

We wanted to be Korean for a night and even tried the HHHAAAAA~ after a slip of soju.

No idea what the HHHAAAAA~ is, watch this video at ard 0.40min.

Let me tell you how i feel about Soju..It tasted like 70% Ethanol i use in microlab.Yup.

When I sip alittle a sensation of coolness speed down my throat. Followed closely by a gush of gas up my nose..I think i even choke a little..Why do Koreans like Soju so much??No, why people like alcohol so much so that they can become alcoholics??Because i've never find them nice.

Ya lah ya lah, I dono how to appreciate.

We played the "multiples of 3" game:)
Alcohol got us HIGH!!!
I didn't know that a childhood game like this can be so much fun!!!!!

Mixing Soju to Cola fixes everything,
Friday with Friends fixes everything:)

Chinese New year- Chuyi part 2

2011-03-19T11:03:00.000+08:00

Hey hey peeps:) I've been neglecting this place of mine for like, hmmm, 2 weeks???

Just a quick update about my internship life.ITS AWFUL!!not the company or my colleagues, its working..WORKING SUCKS BIG TIME!!

If you are like the silly old me who used to think that studying kills your social life wait till you try working..Its a mega buzz kill..

Life became so monotonous.Wake up, go work, wait for lunch break, back to work, go home and the cycle repeats itself the very next day..You won't have the energy to hang out after work..

Mark my word, all you wanna go is to get home and not do anything.

Kris said that being a student is the best occupation; i couldn't agree more..

-----------------------------

This is a super late post i know..Blame it on working:(

Gina turned 19 this FEB!!!!

1 more year to the big 2 yea but never had a boyfriend before..OMGOMGOMG!!

As a good friend i believe that i have the responsibility to find 'THE WHO!' for her.

Gina Liow, 19 years old, height:168cm, weight:very light..

From her looks you can know that she is very nice and kind.Yes, extremely good with kids..

KOREAN FOOOOODDDD..

We had their BBQ buffet which i felt was super worth it!!

Unlimited supply of meat and side dishes.If i'm right, we were could also choose a main dish each:)

I'm super full just thinking of it..

Starters.

Love the black bean kinda thing and ikan billies..Cold tofu in the middle don't really fancy me...

Tofu should be HOT!!

Cam-whore while waiting for our BBQ meat:D

Fresh and crunchy lettuce..Probably the best I had!!

Its so good that i could eat it on its own..

The standard cam-whore-with-food picture!!

KOREAN BBQ ARRIVED!!!

The service of the restaurant is quick good i would say..They were constantly checking if we need anything..Our BBQ plates were changed when it is covered with char.Throughout our 2hours of eating session our plates where changed at least 6times!!!

I really wonder who is going to wash all those..Hard work.

We placed her present in her Polaroid pouch to surprise her!!

In the middle of the meal, we said we wanted to take a polaroid photo..Haha..And the rest is shown in the picture collage above.

One happy gina with her sookee necklace from us:D

A nowhere near neat table.

Korean auntie singing Gina a Korean birthday song..

my CHINESE NEW YEAR 2011

2011-02-09T21:46:00.000+08:00

I finally got the mood to blog about my not so awesome CNY..

Reason for the lack of awesomeness - SCHOOL WORK!such a bummer.

Anyways, my CNY activity is pretty much the same every year. Yet i will never get sick of it:)

Those are the things you do every year to remind my family that its Chinese New Year!

Lets START NOW!

Chinese New Year EVE

Every year, my 3rd uncle and his family will join us for the reunion dinner..Having vegetarian steam boat for reunion dinner is like a tradition for my family:) We've been having it since forever..

Note: my mommy make the BEST vegetarian steamboat ever.

Mommy:)

I know that she looks super tired..In fact she is really exhausted..Went to work at 3am that day, closed her stall at 4pm and back home to prepare for this dinner..Where did all those energy come from?? Furthermore she was losing her voice!!Dad lost 3/4 of his voice too.

Nina's and my work..

My cousin's daughter, KiKi..

Is this pair of cutie eyes speaking to you???

Ah Zhe..Another cousin's son..
Haha, hes one funny chap.

Brothers in action..Haha! Left is the uncle who stays with me (ah pei).and at the right is my 3rduncle.
The little one is Kiki's sister..Hopes to see her next year, by then she will be bigger and of course cuter!Love my ah pei..Though he nags at me alot :X

CHU YI :D

As usual, Chu yi is the day that we visit our late grandparents at a temple in sin ming.
Talking about my grandparents, i really miss them alot:( i remember how my grandpa used to save all the best things for me.Yup, he is showing favoritism.I know that I'm special to him and he just love me MORE than my other cousins..He passed on when i'm 3..Nonetheless i remember alot about him, how he had this tin container filled with biscuits and sweets FOR ME AND ONLY ME..I really remember things before im 3, believe it..
When i see my friends who still have their grandparents i feel kinda depressing.,if 1,just 1 of my grandma or grandpa is still here..

On our way to the temple.

Ah Pei and I.

After we pay our respect to my grandparents, we will have mee sua prepared by the volunteers there.

Busy volunteer aunties.

What is romantic?

2011-01-31T22:12:00.000+08:00

This semester, my bf took up a very interesting module - Understanding relationships.

And he has been saying 'Deary, you are so different from others'. Not in a lovey dovey mushy way but a serious matter of fact way!

He knew that I'm different long ago but learning more abt relationships kinda stamped a big red
CONFIRM on my file.

The truth is, I'm really not a romantic girl who lives in a fairytale of her own.

I don't understand why a long slow walk along the sandy beach with your partner is well, romantic.

All I can think of is sand stuck under my foot that will never go away, mozzies and SWEAT!

Candle-light dinner is so over rated! Flowers dies within days, whats the significance anyway?

I do admit that when i receive flowers i feel kinda great..Nonetheless, after the 'greatness' i will think, whats now??.The flowers are gonna die within days.$50 just died!!!!

I can use that money for SHOES!

Just now BF asked me what is my idea of romantic...

Should i say fortunately or unfortunately, I don't know..So I told him the very first thing that came to my mind..I said ' Being Romantic means buying my Shoes '.

Why did i say that??No idea. Do i really mean it?No idea.

and he smiled.

I guess I can say that I've a very different interpretation of romance.

Or maybe, just maybe its not anything that your other half does that will leads to being romantic.

Its really how you feel about the person..its the L-O-V-E maybe??

NEW CAMERA!

Shiok or what, I finally bought my camera :D

I've been researching on it for the past 5months???Probably even longer!!!

Even i got annoyed with myself and not to say my family and friends..I'm like 'eh, i know what camera i wanna buy already.Its XXX'. Then i will say this same statement the next day but the XXX is different..Hahahha

I pity their ears.

Probably they are immune to it already.

Okay okay, my new baby is a CANON G12!!

Fresh from MS Color just 3 hours ago:)Have been playing with it since..And its AWESOME!!!I'm so glad that i bought this instead of NX100.

Although it cost a bomb, this kinda live up to the price (as for now).

So, YEAH TO BETTER IMAGE QUALITY..

I can shut up now and not bombard my friends with senseless camera talk.

Took a few pictures on the most delicious pineapple tarts in Singapore!
FYI, nina made those :D 100 thumbs up for my Super Maid.

Now you understand why I cant lose weight.Humph.

Full auto i believe.

vivid mode

POWER!

where is my art cell???

2011-01-12T23:19:00.000+08:00

I envy people who are good at art and see a splash of colours in a different light(to me, its just a splash of colours)..And I'm very certain that this 'envy' came from being disable artistically:(

It seems that i suck at anything related to art.Music,dance, drawing and painting..

Everything other than cross-stitch.

Hey i can do that pretty well alright.those good old scondary days, my friends(esp. Pauline) will go cross-stitch hunting with me..We used to head over to her place just to do cross-stitch and that made our afternoon:) I remember giving one to bro yong on one of the first few anniversaries. Having said that i'm good at cross stitch, that is IF I have the patience to finish it..

Even as a little girl, i don't really have a thing for colouring like other kids would..

My maid used to do my art assignments when i'm in kindergarden and primary school!!Real funny:D

It was so unforgettable!!When I was in K2, my teacher told us to draw my flat(or something like that) as homework..Nina did it for me and i scored an A.That piece was pinned on the notice board for everyone to 'admire'. I wonder if my teacher then truly believe that it was my work..The colours were so normal(i used to colour faces yellow), and strokes in one direction lightly..Children's colouring are strong(remember how you used to press your colour pencil onto your paper??) and there is no such thing as direction. All you want is to fill the paper up with colours.

She might thought that i was one genius in art and craft..Oh well:D

Being such a art retard, i'm jealous of how people can create those mind-blowing pictures.
Especially Jimmy Liao.
His illustrations are beyond the beyond.

i know there is this wallet with jimmy's illustration onit. Have been wating it for the longest time.
But it kinda pricy..Damn, i'm going to tampines soon in search of that wallet.

Do rabbits talk???

2011-01-09T00:32:00.000+08:00

I came across this cute little article about this question lotsa ppl have been asking me -

Do rabbits talk?

Technically, they don't talk..If thats the word you would like to use..But they do communicate!!!

Via BODY LANGUAGE!!!

(RIGHT,Meowmeow.LEFT,BoBo)

TOOTH CHATTERING ("Purring"): A rapid, soft chattering sound from the teeth. Generally happens when bunny is being patted or cuddled. A very pleasing sound of contentment and trust.

TOOTH GRINDING : Louder and slower than "purring", grindings are usually farther apart and often accompanied by other signs of discomfort such as protruding (bulging) eyes. A sign of fear, nervousness or discomfort. Possibly a sign that bunny is in distress. Observation is warranted.

GRUNTS AND GROWLS: Meaning varies. Often simply a bunny's way of telling you to be careful or to bug off! Could be: warning/expressing wish for private time; possible tantrum; possible fear; possible sign that something hurts. "Not now, please", "I don't feel so hot" or "This is MY house." Pay attention to posture and body language.

OINKS/HONKS: Meaning varies. Soft oinking sounds, especially those made by a doe, are often a part of the mating ritual, which can occur even with fixed bunnies. Can be a come-hither or "not tonight, dear...". Soft, musical sort of sound, never used aggressively. Sometimes accompanied by "circling"-either of the other bunny, a favorite object, or you.

SQUEAKS: Higher pitched than grunts and usually more rapid; often accompanied by cowering into a corner or running around the house/cage. A definite sign of anxiety, nervousness, and/or fear; may increase if you pick bunny up. A quiet and gentle approach is warranted. Is bunny scared or ill?

NIPS: Meaning varies: "Don't do that!", "Hey there...pat me!", "You are in my way. Please move.", "OUCH!!", "I am (sick/hurt), please help." May occur while grooming you or another bunny, a sign of affection and trust. Pay attention to context and body language.

CHINNING: One way a bunny marks territory (even you!). Sign of affection/ownership, "You belong to

me!" There is a scent gland under the chin which is activated by rubbing on objects/people/animals.

LICKING, NOSE RUBBING, "BUMPING", ETC: Rubbing noses with each other, rubbing noses on you. Definite sign of affection and trust, as is licking/kissing you or another bunny. Bunnies clean each other (and sometimes you) as a sign of affection and friendship.

NOSE BUMPING/NUDGING: "Out of my way, please," or, "Hey, pay attention to me!"

LUNGING AT PERSON OR RABBIT: "Back off!!" Could be fear or anger.

EARS STRAIGHT UP (FORWARD FOR LOPS): "Look at that!", "Wow! Did you hear that?" or "I'm thinking about doing something naughty..."

EARS FLAT: "I'm resting.", "I'm angry." Again, note the content. Is bunny growling and pawing at you? Or resting with eyes closed or half-closed?

ONE EAR FORWARD, ONE BACK: "Hmmm..." Semi-attentive, but not 100% interested. Yet.

This article is educational indeed.I gotta start observing my rabbits!!

Browny nudge people alot!!Maybe he is a advantageous rabbit who hate ppl getting into his way.Hmmm..Maybe..

Baby is SUPER protective.Who will guess that she is meowmeow's daughter??She will protects Meow when u tries to touch her..Literally she will just pounce on your hand..BEWARE!!

She a nice girl though:D

A new blogskin:)

2011-01-07T20:58:00.000+08:00

Hello!!!

Loving my new blogskin??I know right, PRETTY!

Its a combination of everything i loveeee.Starbucks, camera and 'tiffany and co' kinda green..

However theres no place for tagboard and twitter..FYI im a technology noob(as if you dono it yet =.=) so i reckon theres noway i'm gonna solve this myself..Forget it, I just gotta wait for my sister, who claim to have the ability to talk to computers, to come back..

And, my diet started this monday.Oh wait, i'm always on a diet.
This time round i had another approach to lose all those extra fats!!I will alight at yishun after school and walk back home..Maybe i should walk from sembawang after i got used to it.Hahaha.It will take me like an hour??Probably..
I really hope this time round it will work *keep my fingers crossed*..

BuaiBuai:)

CAM,CAM, CAMERA!

2011-01-04T23:45:00.000+08:00

School reopened this monday..My holidays cruelly kiss me goodbye:(

While he promise to come back, i know it will be a good long wait with my attachment coming up.

One piece of good news-the Dalian trip is confirmed!EXCITED!

Gotta start shopping for clothes that suits cold weather.

By the way, CAMERA!!!

After more research, i found that there are more models which are better..The number of cameras available is massive..Sometimes being spoilt for choice can be burdensome yea.

Olympus EPL 1

1 thing about this that i dont really like is the same screen.

Canon G12

In a dilemma!

look back at 2010.

2011-01-02T22:32:00.000+08:00

Well oh well, its 2011 now..2010 came to an end a few days ago..

Looking back at my time in 2010,i guess i can say proudly that i have no regrets..Live it well, had an marvelous time..This year marked my many first..I changed alot, and i learn more about myself too.

Honestly i dont really want it to end.Man, I'm stepping into my big TWO the following year.

Hence, i thought i should make a blog post to organise my year and officially bid goodbye to 2010.

I, WENT OVERSEAS WITH A FRIEND (ALONE).

In Feb 2010, LiZhen and I went to KL together..It was a very special moment to me cause i proved to myself that I can survive overseas..It was not a very long holiday, just 3days.Yet i learn that i am an impulsive person..Or rather, we are impulsive people..We/I did not think much before going on the trip..2 girls in a foreign land everything can happen right??But it didnt occur to us.
I learn that being impulsive may not be a bad thing..Because, by the time you consider every potential hazard and all the different aspects you may lose your chance already..
So yes,this taught me the art of being impulsive.

I LIVED IN A JUNGLE FOR A NIGHT.

(sorry for the bad quality.)

I forgot when did i went to this leadership camp at telunus..Probably in March..
Anyways, this camp is unforgettable..Not only because of the sweet people I got to know but mostly of the experience..I stayed in the jungle for a night!!!It wasn't the most glamorous thing you can do in a camp considering the fact that you didn't get to bath for the entire day..Gosh, how can i ever forget the sweaty shirt I wore to sleep??Haha..
How many people my age can say that they did that??I accomplish that before my male friends go to NS! Proud of myself :D
Thats not the point i wanna make!haha..
What I learn from this camp is Teamwork..I know this is kinda..politically right..
But, this is what i experience..The importance of teamwork..
The idea of 'everyone counts' and theres no true loser in the group..Everyone contribute one way or another..The sweetness of success after the bitterness of the journey..
I learn that encouragement gives people the power to do the things that they thought they never can achieve..Okay, this is another 'politically right' thing to say..Yet I feel so bad to say that it was this camp that showed me the power of encouragement.
Lastly, I had an totally different interpretation to winning.Winning may not entirely about being on top..It's about trying your best..
(that is a messy mixture of everything i gain in the camp.OOPSS!)

SNAPPING MY LOCKS.

I chopped my nearly 30cm off my head and had short hair after 7years of having it long.

BEFORE

AFTER

TAIWAN TRIP

My very first SIA experience..I'm a true Singaporean!

I went to Taiwan as a 18 and come back as a 19:) I celebrated my 19th birthday there..

I think i'm pretty lucky.My birthday falls on June which (TADA!!) is a school holiday! There are many birthdays that were spent overseas:) Lucky girl!

Once again, LUCKY ME :D

I FELL OUT OF LOVE AND BACK IN LOVE..
No, i didn't break up with my brother yong and patch back.
I fell out of love with my course and back in love with it..I allow the sense of defeat to overtake me.Which is very very wrong, and very very not me..
I even thought of changing my path to business..Of course, i got my thoughts sorted out..
My passion in life is still in food.The science behind it and to make food better for people in the future..

I definitely hope that 2011 will be better.

I'm BACK!

2010-12-15T22:23:00.000+08:00

Dear all, Im back from my Bintan trip..

Well not gonna have a proper blog post on it since my camera decides to died on me..Its really getting on my nerves..ARGH!

And i'm not a huge beach-and-sun person..In fact I DISLIKE IT!

Being under the sun and 100% exposed to UV rays aren't my thing..I get pissed easily under the sun:(

Whooh, this explains why i hate going to sentosa.

The 1 thing i love about Bintan is the MASSAGE!!

I did facial there and BBAAMMM!its Sensational..Never one person has been so gentle with my face as that lady.When she remove my make up for me its - so gentle.haha.Theres no other words i can use to describe..Prolly I could even say that she clean my eye makeup one lash at a time..Swear that i use 10times the force she use..Am treating my face like a dough??Gawd, I'm so gonna have saggy skin.

I NEED MORE COLLAGEN.

What i hate MOST MOST MOST about Bintan is the LIZARDS!!

Seriously, lizards are everywhere.

Huge, Juicy, strapped lizards..

There are really straps on those domestic lizards and they are twice the size as the normal ones..

FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING DISGUSTING!

And the most awful of the most disgusting part, i saw a monitor lizard- LIVE.

The worst part is, it is barely 2metres away from me and bear in mind, its not caged..In the wild.

I WALKED PAST IT, THAT COLDBLOODED THING SAW US WALKING PAST IT!

The incident goes like this,
My dad walked first and stopped in front waiting for the rest of us.

He told us that theres a huge lizard and i thought he was referring to those kind we normally see on a coconut tree..I was terrified (well, im terrified with all kind of lizards)..I hold my sister's hand tightly and ran towards my dad.Hides behind her and peep at the lizard..My goodness, i saw that lizard moved.IT MOVED!and its really HUGE~Monitor lizard! Even the name implies the size and grossness?

I kept thinking what if it decides to charge against me when we walked past it??

Its so disgusting..okay, its REALLY DISGUSTING.

By the way, we stayed in Nirwana. Which is a pretty bizarre place..

Theres a small zoo inside the resort..With animals like snakes, crocs and vultures..Seriously, vultures.

For the record, they are alive..Not statues or some clay thing..

The snake is HUGE.Why is everything huge in Bintan?

the head of the snake is almost the size of my face!The circumference of the body is bigger than my thigh..I should post a picture of it, but its in my sis's camera..

Do worry, i will post it.this is so worth sharing..

Okay, i will stop here.Until next time:)

Decision Made!

2010-12-11T19:28:00.000+08:00

I've made up my mind regarding the Dalian thingy..

I HAVE DECIDED TO GO!

In fact i've passed up the form to my teacher..I really REALLY hope that this project will go as planned without any hipcups along the way:)

OMG!!i'm as EGG-CITED as an EGG!!Ok, this is lame.

Exams are over and i'm enjoying rotting at home before next week (when projects need some progress!!)..Alright, back to Dalian..You cant possibly go somewhere knowing next to nothing about the place..So, this is the power of google..Knowledge and information are just a click away:D

Whooh maps!!! Reminds me of geography, contour lines and all those legend (like trees, tea plantation, sugar plantation and those settlements). Gawd i still remember those stuffs.No wonder new things cant go in, old thing are still occupying the space.I should stop going off topic.

Anyway, Dalian is a city in the province of Liaoning. Its actually the 2nd largest city in the province.. Looking at the size of China, i have this gut feeling that this dalian place is hell bigger than singapore..Wikipedia just confirmed my gut feel.Singapore is only 710.2 km², and Dalian is 12,574 km²..Dalian is probably approximately 17 red dots!! How small are we exactly!!!!?????

According to my teachers, Dalian is a rather modern place in China..To me precise its a fashion hub..Is it only me or 'fashion hub' is spelled as S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G.

Another mega OMG~

Seriously have to stop researching on those tourist attractions! I'm going there for a study trip-Must bear this in mind..

When we were there, each of us will be assigned a buddy who is a local.. Excited!!!!

Cannot wait to know students there..Learning their culture and way of life..

Of course, living with my classmates..That will be tons of fun! Definitely a brand new experience..

Look forward to it!!

However, these are not confirmed..There are always chances of the trip being cancelled.Or my application was rejected..Yucks.I pray hard that those wont happen!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been wanting to change a camera for the longest time! Image quality from a normal point-to-shoot can on longer satisfy me. At first I want to get a DSLR, but the size and complicating settling are not suitable for me. Thank God for the genius invention of a semi-pro camera. DSLR quality images with a lighter body..I know Samsung is not the best brand to look for cameras.But the NX100 has an irresistible appeal to me. The easy settings, ifunction lens and price!The cheaper one in the range..

Want this so badly:(
Will Santa get this for me? Cause I think i'm a good girl this year..
I should be in the good girl list right??

should i,should i not.

2010-12-04T22:05:00.000+08:00

i know, when mst is just a day away i should be mugging.

But i just dont seems to focus..My mind is so occupied with many many 'Should i go anot??'.

40 people from my course are offered the opportunity to study in Dalian,China for 2months..

I know if it was the 'old' me, i will take up the offer immediately.I used to be so decisive. When did i become this fickle-minded person??

Although i know that i will gain a experience of a lifetime, there are too many things to sacrifice and too many people whom i cannot bear to leave behind.

My family. When i told my parents about this trip they said that its up to me.'Its good to go out and see the world' my dad said..Yet, somewhat i felt that he don't really want me to go..

Mummy said that the house will be very empty, considering the fact that my sister has already went back to aussie by then:(

I will miss my family and my rabbits truckloads.

My Friends. Another group of people i don't wanna part with..If i enter into this program, i will be in a different stage as them..We cant see each other as frequent as now..And im afraid of the distance. We have been together everyday for the past one and a half years..I love them very much..

Of cause i'm not that naive to think that we are going to be together for a very long time. We will graduate and part with each other..I registered that fact into me long ago.However, i didn't know that goodbye can be so soon..I planned to do my FYP with my girls,but if i go to dalian this will never be an option. Not a wise option i mean.

people say 'you will make new friends', but will they be as close to me as kris, christina, gina and janice to me??

I could even say that they were the BEST BEST BEST friends i've ever made in my life..

My boyfriend..I will miss the hug and comfort he give me..He supported me in every decision i made in life and im thankful for it..Although i will miss him like hell, i hope that he can take up that offer to korea for internship if he is qualify:) Aiya, he still have to serve NS after poly. All these will just be little tests before the real thing comes!

Probably stepping out of my own comfort zone is too scary..

Expecting the unexpected is too frightening..

Or maybe independence is just another word for loneliness?

Around the world!

2010-11-24T16:31:00.000+08:00

I love how tourism is advertised now:)

All those pretty picture and (the best part) catchy slogans..

Its interesting how countries advertise themselves!

SINGAPORE

Of cause, I have to start with my country:)

Gosh, it was only just now that I found out that the slogan is changed from Uniquely Singapore to Your Singapore.Uniquely Singapore sounds better.

Nonetheless.

Then

Now

This kinda explains why its Your Singapore now..
My Singapore is Home.So,whats yours?

Malaysia,Truly Asia

This is my favorite slogan.Totally rhythm:)
Whenever someone said Malaysia, i feel like adding Truly Asia behind.

Incredible India

It has been a long time since i went to town.The previous time i went to dhoby ghaut mrt station, I saw this massive advertisement on Incredible India..Massive!Not entirely the scale of those adverts, but those pictures.Ultimately breathetaking.They left a deep impression in me..
Because of those pictures I promise myself to visit the place one day:)

Tour Taiwan-Touch your heart

I've been to Taiwan already..And I've to say that this slogan fits the place like a glove.

According to my experience with Taiwan things like food buildings scenery didn't impress me very much. However the people, they are just different?!They just, touch your heart.ya:D

Korea- Be Inspired

It used to be Korea Sparkling. Just this year, they change it to Korea, be inspired.

Did i mention that my girls and I are thinking of going to Korea for our grad trip?

Yayaya, its abit too early considering the fact that we are only graduate 1 year later..You cant be wrong to plan early right..haha

Even Seoul have their own tourism video. Infinity Seoul.

They sure know how to take advantage of their blooming showbiz.

Theres nothing like Australia

I kinda like this!!Cute:)

I should have studied Tourism..Looks interesting:D

Kindergarden graduation:)

2010-11-14T14:03:00.000+08:00

I am convince that if i dont blog about it now i will eventually forget all about it.

While everything is still vivid in my mind, HERES THE POST!

Last Friday, a few classmates and i went to a kindergarden graduation in serangoon.

I'm so jealous! When did kindergarden's graduation get so grand?

13 years ago it was so simple. We just had a self and class picture taken-thats it.

Nothing more than that.

Now they had a performance staged by the students.Oh yes, and a march in..

Argh!I regretted not bringing my camera.All the pictures taken are from my iphone and Geraldine's Corby.

Kris, why you close your eyes??Haha.

Let me side track abit-The dinner provided.

The organizing team are kind enough to provide dinner.Effort are deeply appreciated,food aren't.

Nasi Lemak that you can find everywhere..with granted coconut, fish cake, chicken drumlet, potato cutlet and tempeh..To be honest, it wasn't nice..Densely packed with calories and yet, far away from being average.Totally not worth wasting my calories intake.

I dont think anyone of us finished it.

Thats a food student.We are so picky when it comes to food.

This we can complaint, that we dont like.Haha.

This is good for the future food industry.More delicious and wholesome nom noms?You bet!

Our job are very simple.To take care of the kids.Help them change into their graduating gown.

And their mortarboard.

Sounds simple right?? You must be kidding? Its tough!!Especially the mortarboard.

I will elaborate on it later:)

Cute right!!!

Because they were performing, the make up artists (some are the teachers) spam make up on their face.Nevermind lah.They are kids.They are adorable even with 1 inch thick makeup:D

Kids nowadays are really not camera shy.Haha.They wont reject your request if you wanna take a picture with them..I find these girls super pretty.Our future Miss Singapore,no?

My Handsome!!The girl on the right will grow into a extremely gorgeous lady.

Kris's little boyfriend(left) and mini Joel(right)

Actually i can't remember the name of mini Joel.I called him that because he looks like my classmate Joel:D

These few kids are in the korean dance group.Super active.

This little boy kept peeping out of the window.

Looking for his parents,worrying if they couldn't make it.

Getting ready for the march in.

After the march in, they will assemble somewhere to wear the mortarboard.No pictures on that as it was madness..Over 10 volunteers doing it and still it was crazy.

We had to adjust it according to their head size so it wont fall out when they bow on the stage.

Some mortarboard are too big some are too small.Some can't even be adjust.

It was a warm night..The kids were sweating more than us i believe.We were wearing SP t-shirt and even so, the heat caught up with us.Imagine kids wearing 2 layer of clothes with a mortarboard on their head. I felt for them:(

Many of them were thirsty, yet wont allow to drink water.Reason being, they were going to perform later and the teachers were afraid that they may puke (if they drink too much.Which they have a high tendency to).

They were uncomfortable and kept fidgeting with the mortarboard. They move it and we had to adjust.Poor kids,there was hardly any breeze.

Proud parents.

The look on their face when their kids were on stage (whether isit receiving the certificate or performance) is none other than proud.

Wonder if my parents will have this look when I graduate from poly (hopefully uni too).

What is on the iphone Kris's holding?

9plus and we still see Kris around! Its the very first time..Haha.Usually she's gone by 8pm.

Excluding chalet of cause:D

A picture with all the SP volunteers.

Sorry for the bad image quality.

These kids were graduating and probably going to different primary school.

However, one thing i am sure about is: they will definitely meet each other again.

I found so many kindergarden classmates in Primary school, secondary school and Poly(alot here)!

KRIS!Welcome to the 19!!

2010-11-13T23:36:00.000+08:00

Yes,this Wednesday our little village girl turned 19!!!

We celebrated with her (of cause) on the day itself..A series of surprises planned for our Kris:D

We took a bus from SP to holland village for a birthday lunch:)

Holland V's EVERYTHING WITH FRIES!

Our birthday girl kinda love fries abit too much.Hence our choice of restaurant.

Kris with Raymond inspired eyes.

My picture doesn't do the food any justice!

It was much more delicious that it looks.

Pressie number 1: Polaroid!!!

So, whats pressie number 2??Haha.It will shock you!

20 RED EGGS!!

A present in the style of chun gu(village girl).Gina's idea:)
Kris was utterly shocked when she saw it.Because Gina placed the eggs into a cake's box and Kris kinda thought that its a 'real' cake..Haha.she paused like 5 seconds when she opened the box.
20 eggs!!!You must be wondering where are they now.They are given to Kris's ah ma.who will braise it for the entire family!SPREAD THE LOVE~~

We gave her too many things that calls in a need for an extra bag!
A chun gu inspired recycle bag from coldstorage.

Birthday no cake???What kind of birthday is that.

Okay, after Holland Village we went to ION..

We surprised her (again) with a cupcake from Awfully Chocolate.
Haha, Christina and I went to get the cake while she(and the rest) were sitting somewhere.
Theres no where we can find a lighter.Thank God for technology!
Some genius located somewhere on Earth created an app for candles..
Hahahahaha..

To sum everything up.Kris, I hope that you have got a memorial birthday!

Happy Birthday babe.

Best wishes from all of us with your signature kuasai face:)

pay the price.

2010-11-03T22:05:00.000+08:00

At the age of 18 and above.

People are mature enough to think for themselves.

Have a vision of the future and of cause the most basic, what is right and what is wrong.

You have the ability to weigh things and consider the consequences as well.

Sometimes theres a grey area between the right and the wrong.

Yet in this incident, there isn't.

What is right and wrong is obvious.

To take someone's life is Wrong.

Regardless the reason.

I believe this concept is widely preached when you are a child,
at home,in school and even in the society;

the person who lay their hands on another person is in the wrong.Even if they are provoked and such.

What about killing?

Staring is not a justified reason to want someone's life.

The consequences.

The lady of justice is fair.

You commit a crime, you pay the price..

JB oh JB!!!!

2010-10-31T16:52:00.000+08:00

Crap, i've so much to do..So many assignments, so many deadline to meet:(

Its the Halloween weekend and yet i spent it studying..Why i am so boring?

I reckon science people are boring in general..None of my friends went to celebrate too...

Actually I haven even visited the club..

Isit normal??I'm 20 next year and i haven experience anything called the nightlife!!!!

Im 80year old wrapped in a 19year old's flesh.

Last Saturday, my sister and I went to JB!!!!

Don't you just love having to divide the price of things by 2 when shopping???!

What I enjoy more is that many food outlets are much cheaper than Singapore:D

1/2 price of those in Singapore.The pricing is the same but in RM..AWESOME!

Going to JB from Singapore is pretty convenient.We headed to Kranji MRT and took a bus to the JB custom..You can choose to take an SBS bus or a Malaysian bus named Causeway Link if i'm not wrong:) Since it was a Saturday, imagine the queue in the JB custom!!We waited for about 40mins.There were like 10 counters for foreign passport??Now you get the picture..

We were starving when me reached there..TADA!!!we had Kim Gary for lunch!

YUMMY YUMMY:D

One classic example of food cheaper by half in JB.

I noticed that there are alot of HK cafes in Malaysia..Its really ALOT!!Much much more than SG.

While waiting for our food~

Left: My Ice YuanYang..Its a must have for me when i eat in a HK cafe!!

Right: My sis's lemon coke..I literally called 'FREEZE!!'when she is pouring the coke in.Resulting in this funny smile:D TEEHEE!

Sinful goodness!! A huge cake!! Don remind me of the calories.

Anyways, its from sweet secret..Half price too!!

No pictures during shopping..Haha.We were too engross with our exercise:)

I enjoyed food more than shopping in JB..At least it is cheaper..

Clothes wise, not so much.

I've to get back to my work..

Till the next time~~

*As you can see.My image quality sucks..
Money Money please roll in for my new camera.

Come on.

2010-10-21T01:05:00.000+08:00

Exactly like what i've predicted.

Life aren't easy the moment i step foot on Dover Mrt Station this Monday morning..

When i first entered the school, some seniors says that SP means Sure Pass.Meaning, once you entered SP you are gonna graduate by hook or by crook.

Now I've a different interpretation; Stress Poly..How not to be all stressed up? Projects are already released on the very first day of school..This and that gotta be done by week 5..This assignment stands 35% of your module.Blah blah blah..Argh.

Ngee Ann poly is still having their holidays!!!!!We have a only 1 month of break whereas they have like 6 weeks! I'ven even fully recovered from the previous brain damage:(

This sem is definitely more challenging than the previous ones. Yet, more interesting.

I feel like what i'm studying now is FINALLY relevant to my course!!Oh ya, on a happier note, most of my classes are moved to the new block..T11B - Fabulous.

Its clean, the lift is fast (no lagging), the place is quite nicely furnished..I should find some time to snap some pics of the interior ya?haha..

School is fun when my girls and I are together :D

Laughing at the mistakes each other made and reminiscing some "incredible" things Janice did..

I miss Janice alot, all of us miss her alot..Been like 1month since we last saw her??!Haix, she is down with chicky pox.Sian TTM!!!School life feels so empty without her..

Just like, Fishball noodles without fishball, prawn noodle without prawn, rojak without youtiao,Ice jelly cocktail without jelly, tutu kueh without coconut and koi without pearls.

SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS MISSING!!!

JANICE!!!FASTER COME BACK LAH!!!

YOU MUST CONQUER CHICKY POX!!!

Kitty love

2010-10-16T23:58:00.000+08:00

I love Hello Kitty, just like a dog love its bone..

Gosh, i'm such a sucker for this mouthless cat.

Hence when i saw this advertisement on a Taiwan TV show I WENT MAD!!

Its hello kitty and its a mascara.Which girl wont die for it??

Gotta get it.And I did!

If you think that my purchase is only to satisfy my senseless desire for this cat, you are not totally right..This came just in time when i need a mascara with a comb..Note the word: NEED!

Guys, i suggest that you quit wanting to get why having a comb-headed mascara matters.Don't think you will ever get it lah.Haha.You doesn't even like hello kitty.Hmmm, i think you will be kinda weird if you like her..It wont be a percent less weird if you express your like for Dear Danial..

Last but not least, reason number 101 to get it.

IT IS PINK!

Do I really wanna graduate?

2010-10-16T16:01:00.000+08:00

Time after time,Day after day, people come and go in our lives.

Can you imagine?We are half way through our course.I didn't like the fact that time flies.And time during holidays flies even faster.My goodness, school is restarting next Monday.It seems like i'm ranting every possible moment about it.

You know how everyone says 'I wanna graduate asap, this place is a living hell and i don't want to stay here any longer'. Everyone says this at least 50time a year, i estimated. Me too!!!!! Am sure that i say this more than 50 time per year..

However,Do I really wanna graduate??I asked myself.

Yes? No? I wasn't sure.

Do I want to leave this group of people whom i stayed with for the full 3 years.

Nope.I wasn't ready for goodbye,now or a year later..Actually i don't think i will ever be ready for it:(

Outside leaving people, the thought of moving on to the next chapter of live is kinda frightening..

I was chatting with LiZhen about stepping into the work life..Somehow, the thought of it freaks the both of us..Things will be different when you are meeting the deadline your BOSS give you but not TEACHERS, you will be dealing with COLLEAGUES but not CLASSMATES, will life be all monotonous without a trace of excitement???Adults always like to scare us by saying, when you go to work, everything will be very different.People outside is very competitive and who cares if you die blah blah blah..I am sure that you had your fair share of such 'advices'..Isit true???!!!

Everyday when I travel with this working adults on my way to school, i see this sian-ness on their face.They give me this cold,without any zest for life, cynical look.Yes, cynical is the word..

This made me scare and at the same time curious, is everyone like that in the working world?Or is it the MRT?

I need some time to think.

Be MOTIVATED!

2010-10-12T23:44:00.000+08:00

I will start from the place i fell.

My Best Friend.

2010-10-11T21:39:00.000+08:00

Recently i have a new best friend:)

One who i cannot live without.Entertains me when im bored, reminds me of my schedule, takes awesome pictures for me, tracks my period and tells me when is my bus coming.

Who is this awesome friend?

Dono if it is lame or what to address my phone as a friend.Haha..
Screw it.I like how it sounds :D

About 2weeks ago, i became a proud owner of an iphone..
It took me a long time deciding whether to get it anot..Yea, because of the reception problem..
Don really like the appearance of it too..I was sitting on the fence all these while..

Hence I thought I shall address the problem in case you are too sitting on the fence!

Reception Problem

Everyone is aware that the iphone 4 has reception problem..In a way,reception goes down when there is direct human contact with the phone..However it could be solved by putting on a case..
(as simple as that)
IMO, this reception problem is kinda over rated..
You have to cover all the antennas and APPLY PRESSURE!
Who will hold their phone that way????!On top of that, is that really that difficult to put a case on?
Many will do that w/o the problem..

My phone works perfectly fine.Didn't even drop a call(yet!)..

The problem is really better than what you think.

Initially wanted to get the LG optimus and the new itouch.

Mad Mad CHIO!!!

What made me wanted this phone real bad is this advert.

MAD MAD MAD AWESOME!

Its a pity Singtel only have it in grey:(

which is not chio and thus not awesome.

Doesn't it bother you when LG offers super pretty phone but the reviews are bad??

it bothers me!

PS:There are so many 'awesome's in this post.Haha.

JUST ANOTHER DAY.

2010-10-10T15:53:00.000+08:00

I changed my blogskin today.Again.

Because i kept experiencing this 'photobucket expire' thingy..Which those pretty pictures on my skin are replaced with it..It goes without saying that it is super ugly and unsightly..Drives me crazy..

Therefore, i HAD to change it:(

I was reluctant to change it.Kinda love the previous skin abit too much..But, no choice..

This skin is all pinky and simple.My style??Probably:)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dwell into ultimate sian-ness..

My holidays are ending soon..Isn't it sad??

I don't even know how to wake up for school.FYI, my timetable is crap..Nope, its a disaster.

For the past 3 week i've been waking up at 11 plus.How can i adjust my body clock to 5.30am?

It is too cruel.TOO CRUEL!!!!!

Everything is starting all over again.

Reports, projects, assignments, test, reports, projects,assignments, exam..

Gosh!!!Yucks!!!

Poly life aren't easy..There are many things which we have to strive through..

Its like,
take a deep breathe, hold it and RUN AT FULL SPEED!!

Especially hate it when things come in a bundle..I wonder why lecturers issue projects etc at the same time..Bizarrely, they all due at the same time..

So, in 1 month you have to deal with say 4 projects..Mentally tormenting.

Sometimes when i don't perform as well in tests i would blame it on the schedule..

People can easily rebuke saying; its how you plan your time.you can do your projects and study at the same time.blah blah blah..

True!Absolutely TRUE!

its how you plan your time.How easily said.How difficult to actually put it into action.

How many people can put it into action???!

When you finally get over with all the projects etc.Guess what, MST is in a week's time.

This repeats every sem...

Nerve wreaking.Stressful.Totally!

Results, results, results..

Another cruel thing about studying.You are evaluated and judged..

Year 2 Sem 1's result was out last week.Well, i would say i did okay..

Considering the fact that i was pretty slack last sem.It came as a surprise that i did better that the previous sem:)

I am a living example that in studies you have to take things easy...

Don panic, don worry, when things don go your way just PRAY!

Something i did not do in the previous sem.

I even got a B for process instrumentation.(thought i would get a C)..B is like no big deal..

Yet, its a huge deal when i failed my MST..Kinda memorable;its the 1st time i failed a test in poly and had to retest..Fortunately,i passed my retest lah :D

TV:)

2010-09-25T23:21:00.001+08:00

During my childhood i am not really the cartoon kinda kid..Weird!I know..

Actually i prefer watching the news and documentary.In simpler word, shows with REAL human in it..Weird! absolutely..

However, i do watch cartoons..Entirely because of peer pressure..

As in if i don watch those cartoons i would have no topics in common with my friends.Sadly, i will be outcast as no one will talk to me:( Put it in another way, im FORCED to watch cartoons!
Not very happy with it.It wasn't a choice on my part.

My mom told me that when i was a baby i will wake up the moment this 青青河边草 theme song was played.Not because im traumatized,its the opposite i LOVE the show..

I am very positive that noone born after 1980s know what this show was..Maybe your mom or ah ma will have an impression.

I know you are laughing..I know alright.haha

This is the song that wake baby-me..I am going to be honest, when i first know about this song that i used to love (so much) I laughed-very very hard :D
I had to forgive myself, i was a baby!

Other than this funny part of my life that i totally cannot remember,theres something that i know-

I LOVE

A group of friendly monsters spells CUTE!!!!!~Its part of my childhood.

Sesame Street is my must watch everyday:) Haha..It was played on kids central everyday monday to friday at 1pm..KIDS CENTRAL!! How long has Kids Central been replaced???

Sounds so far away..

Anyways, my favorite part of the show is Elmo's World :D

As expected my favorite character is ELMO!! The red fluffy monster..

I find Elmo's voice cute..Very very elmo-ish..Distinct, i mean..Hahaha.

Heres an interview with Elmo..Extremely funny!!!
watch the video if you have the time.(long video you see)

IMO its more of an question and answer session..Very very very^ 10000 Funny..

I especially like:

How long do you crayon your apartment?

Do you feel sorry for Oscar who live in a trash can?

Why does Mr Noodle and his brother, Mr Noodle lives outside your window?

LOL!

I bet many people are curious who is Elmo?Or rather, who is the voice behind Elmo?

Did my research and its this Kelvin Clash guy.

Pretty shocking..I mean they are 2 different monster-people..
The former is a cute childhood friend who will never grow up.Yet the latter is a full grown up man with a deep low voice..I would never had seen the connection between the two if not the video.

Nevertheless i truly admired this guy..He made Elmo so 'alive'...
Also, the number of happy childhood he had and will construct:)

its the moon.the lantern.and the friends.

2010-09-23T12:07:00.000+08:00

Hows Everybody!!!!!

MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL!!!

Yesterday was mid autumn festival.A happy day i would say..
i spent it with my secondary school friends.Not many ppl turn up though.
BUT!we didn have less fun either..
Its really interesting how things had turned out.Just a couple of years earlier, we were seating in the same classroom,listening to the same teacher, copying the same set of homework, going to recess together and gossiping about the red patches on the form teacher's neck
(hmmm.still a mystery)..
Yet yesterday we actually had to 'update' our lives to each other.When we were in the same class we never had to do it..Duh,SAME CLASS!
Well well, im glad to hear that everyone is okay..
the highlight of the gathering and the part that i especially love about catching up with old friends.You get to hear gossips!!~
New gossips, old gossips, juicy JUICY GOSSIPS!
its for me to know and for you to find out *evil laugh*

I better change a topic before i let the cat out of the bag :X

You know how it goes, younger Singaporeans and mid autumn festival often leads to FIRE!!!!
Why!?I dono too.MAYBE --->lantern needs candles, candles burn lantern..
Bigger fire caused..Add some cardboard from the box of candles..FIRE!!
Add some more random things..Weird FIRE!!
yanjun and bingxue achieved some greeny flame yesterday..Amazing!

Gatherings are always so fun and 'happening'.
Really sweet of Bingxue to organise this gathering..
Oh God, i miss my secondary school friends and my secondary school life..
I hate the thought of growing up..

Talking about growing up, Does this ring any bell??

I love this baked pig in a cage so much as a kid.
Every mid autumn festival i will ask my maid to get me one!!Haha.
I secretly pledge to collect the cage in every colour..Wonder why kids like to collect things so much..i tried to collect everything possible-happy meal toy, stickers, the 20cents card (those that you put 20cents into the machine, turn the knob and a card came out!!) blah blah.

My RECOMMENDATION!

This year my family got ourselves fab fab fab mooncakes:)

DO NOT JUDGE A MOONCAKE BY ITS COVER!

it looks ordinary.YET it taste amazing...
Best mooncake ever!!Thus i wanted to recommend it to everyone of you..
Which hotel is it from? NO! not hotel..Instead it is from a humble traditional confectionery store in sembawang/yishun..

Yours truly is kind enough to paste the address:)
Thank me..hahaha.

*pictures credit to www.ginthye.com

Okay, i suppose i will stop here..
Hope that you had a sweet mid autumn just like me!!

Yes Cinderella.

'A right pair of shoes brings you to the right places.'

My love for shoes is obvious..
Just like the above quote stated, a right pair of shoes will bring you to the right places:)
It sounds cliche.Or it sounds like another excuse for girls to buy new shoes.
But hey, its true okay!!!Do not under-estimate the wonder a pair of shoes can do to you.
Definitely not only to elevate you and also not to just serves as a protection..
Its the confidence it can give you.

Everyone has a pair of what i call the 'power' shoes.Which you glow inside out wearing it on your feet..Yup, im using the word 'GLOW'..Prolly this 'power' shoes change from time to time.
When i was 8, that was a pair of toy heels my mum got me from toy r us..
Its a pretty baby pink slip on with this pink furry thing in front.On top of this furry thing is a silver heart..Its like those which Cinderella, sleeping beauty will totally wear..Never will i forget how princessy and beautiful it made me felt.
I could find any picture in the net of that pair of shoes but it looks kinda like this..

I still vividly remember that i would wear it and walk around the house noisily.
Kink-kiak-kink-kiak annoying everyone at home..Hmmm,i think i still do that now..haha..Sometime (alright, everytime) I bought new shoes i will do that..Looking like a retard.Yup, its stupid.But i actually enjoy doing it:)
Admit it.Everyone enjoys doing something stupid and retarded.

Now its another pair...I shall post it some other time.When i (finally) got my camera charged..
Well of cause, i hope that i can buy a pair of Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin..
Hope!!means in the future..I didn't like that idea of using my parents' hard earned money to indulge on something so expensive..Its the guilt lah!!!
I rather saving them for the future..When i start to work and is more financially stable i will definitely spend on one..

As for now, i can still take a peek on pretty shoes :D
Motivation.Thats motivation.motivate me to work hard to own them one day!

These few pair are to die for!!!!
Pretty to the max:)

Happiness...

2010-09-20T21:47:00.000+08:00

its about appreciating things we have:)

Yes! I have to start learning how to appreciate my dearest boyfriend.
After being together for more than 4 years im guilty for taking my dear for granted.
4 plus long years and not mentioning being together everyday for the first 2 years..If you dont know, we were classmates:) OMG!it just crossed my mind that we have know each other for 7years..Almost a decade!thats a very long time..

I envied other people's boyfriend..Looking at how good they are etc etc.
But i failed to look at my own..
And guess what, after spending a moment looking at him, all that he did.
He is the best PERIOD!

changed!

2010-09-19T13:13:00.000+08:00

It has became an tradition i suppose.
To change a blogskin every holiday:)

Love how simple this skin is!

gheez!

2010-09-18T15:52:00.000+08:00

OMG!!!!its like finally...

exams are over after dragging for 3 damn weeks..know that feeling when watermelons tied on your shoulders are released??thats pretty much how i feel:)

Happy elated esthetic and that 'phew'.

anyways, i've been wanting to write a post for over a week.

but i only have the time and mood to do this now.

Recently, i realise that i'm more into expensive brands.

As little girl, i strongly believe that i'm not one of those who worshipped brands..In my younger days (and i mean primary and secondary school years.for the record im still young!) brands like bilabong, nike, puma and so on are the more popular brands among my peers.Almost everyone have at least one thing from them. pencil case, wallet, water bottle and whatsoever.

But i get myself any..Not even one..

At that stage of life i just don find the need to own expensive things when i can find alternatives that serves the same purpose at a MUCH lower price..On the other hand, i'm pretty okay with fakes as well..At the end of the day it is only a logo that can be printed any where ya?!

However as a young lady, i can sense my difference now..

have to admit, I idolize brands.

I envy people who can afford expensive things from the more expensive brands..Totally understand why some girls are willing to live on bread and water in order to save up..A few hundreds for a bag indeed sounds absurd..There are better ways of using that sum than buying a bag..True, it is an indulgence, a luxury that is not necessary.

But hey, its a reward!

After working so hard we do deserve some reward.

Because it is a luxury and hard to get, it can be 'classified' as a reward. Will you regard a banana as a reward? i think NO!

Actually i think in this world, there aren't anyone who is not concern about brands.

So, you think Apple got popular because it came up with something like an iphone?

NO! iphone got popular because it is from Apple!

Will you still want to buy an iphone if it came from some ja-pa-rang cheena orange pear brand?

To be honest, i wont and i don think anyone will.

On top of these, you will only feel the satisfaction when you SAVE for it!!!

you know how it is..wont treasure unless you feel the pinch..

And fakes that 'copied' the same design as the real ones...

cant afford it, don get it lah..or save for it..

Fakes are like,so auntie???!!!!

Plus it will be so embarrassing if someone point it out.I heard that it can be fined!!!

$5000 i reckon.

how many originals can you buy with $5000?

tsk!!!!

2010-09-12T20:55:00.000+08:00

I hereby declare that long breaks btw paper is BAD!!!
ultimately irritating and doesn do any good to the grades..

Reason being, holiday mood overthrew the 'work hard for exams' mood.

it is irritating and im irritated.
it is stressful and im stressed.

even shopping doesn help..
can you see how grave it is???

Time flies..indeed..

2010-08-29T19:02:00.001+08:00

Can you believe it!!!

my 3weeks of yog break is gonna end..Today is the last day*scream!!!*

Really lorh, time past in the speed of light is an understatement.

I dono if i should be grateful for this yog break or i should be pissed with it.

Because this 3weeks gives me more time to study for the end of sem exams..In this context, 3 weeks is pretty much and can make a huge ass difference.

Im pissed!!because my end sem holiday is cut short..I think exams are kinda pushed backwards. Dono if it was really later than the usual but i feel its later. am i making sense?

nevermind :D

Later to take the exams, the pain is dragged longer. Yes, PAIN! Huge pain in the ass.

Anyways, the exam schedule is somewhat the same as the yog break..

I proudly name it, THE-YEAH-SIAN SITUATION:) Awesome!

I have 7papers EVENLY SPREAD OUT into 3 weeks..Let me analyse this YEAH-SIAN SITUATION FOR YOU:)

The 'YEAH' - in between the papers have at 1-5 days of break. Which gives me more time to prepare..

Having said that, this is also the 'SIAN' factor.. 3 weeksss!!!!

Why not just squeeze them in a week..Let us get finish and over with it.

I dono if i should get happier or piss-er with all these. So i shall assume that is a 50-50 situation.

haha..

I shall stop here because i dono how to continue. As you should have know by now, it is a senseless post:)
