break week

1:59 AM, Friday, February 27, 2009

I get to see them every tues wed & thurs and they make me =)))))))

went to celebrate my bro's bdae @ The Line.
argh. overrated. even my bro's quite upset that we actually went there (even tho he kept yakking abt it mths before lOls).
like my mum said, it's an experience but the service was up to standards.

studied on wed.
was quite surprised Shawn actually turned up and stayed there for a few hours..
i tot he ditched us already =X
only nadya, jw and I were in the right attire (sx said the nike shirt was free..but it's branded -_-''' so not jw's style)
and the 1st thing leonard saw us, he said (whilst coming towards my direction "wah why u so chui today?") OMG. i was miffed but it was funny HAHA. i think jw felt quite insulted at times.
and we had jw's lunch- chinese rice & iced lemon tea.

and now i can't sleep.
i mite as well live in USA -_-''' my body clock's upset.

of hopes and dreams

recess week is coming.
and i think i do have alot to study and complete assignments for.
but i din organize them & put on my comp like jw lOls soO up till now, i'm still feigning ignorance of wad i MUST accomplish.

come to think of it.
i still have march and a few weeks of april before our exams..
that seem like a lOt of time!

i am getting worse @ time management.
partly cos i slept @ 2am last nite after completing my response paper..
i arrived to class 20mins late! =X
and when YC asked if i was late cOs i was busy printing my paper, i couldn't breathe a word hOhOx.

anyways, i feel i'm getting more immune to his jokes & sarcarsm.
i laughed lesser in his class today..i guess now i have a higher standard of comedian expectations from him.
althO it was freakishly funny when he 'paraded' with Karl Marx's picture (that was black and white & enclosed in a frame..yea it looks funeral-ish) and said 'sOrry' when he accidentally knocked the photo later lOls!

i wish the coming weeks will approach faster and end faster!
i wish i have a happy ending for this sem. come on, it's increasingly stronger..that i want this and that i never spend a day nt thinking about this T_T.
i must try not to think so hard...somehow, i'm steered towards negativity boOhoOs.

what are the odds man.

being a slumdog.

6:29 PM, Wednesday, February 18, 2009

oOO. finally went on a date with Devica hehe.
it's been like a yr plus since we last saw each other ack.
and we went to this indonesian place where she always eats

dun wish 2 make a scene sO i snap the name from where i sat lOlx.
Ayam Penyet for pple who can read the flip side~

And this is their famous set..oOps picture's blur.
But there's the kangkon, 1 fried tauhu, 1 fried vegetarian thingy (which i dun like) and this soft, mashy chicken thigh with crisps on it (that looks like pork floss) and of course their famous chilli which I surrender after i dip my kangkong in it.

i was almost in tears so i gave up the chilli altogther.
we bought iced water beforehand but it won't help if i am to finish the whole meal.

I love the chicken! and the kangkong actually (altho it din really looked appealing @ first cos it seems rather dry and unstir-fried)

Ratings: 7/10

and watched slumdog millionaire.
i din intend 2 watch this either but here we go and it was a pretty Ok to goOd film. the storyline's simple but the plot's unique and it shows u the realities in India (which were rather cruel @ some points)
and of course, typically a happy ending & a BOLLYWOOD DANCE when the movie ended HAHA. i totally din expect that~

told me lotsa stuff..
about K.U (damn...now i like this place even more) and about human anatomy which was grOss cos dey removed the layer of skin so tt the students can examine the muscles and everything else. she said there's this mummified smell..god i dun even how tt smells like & that class was next to the sci canteen -_-'''

i've so much readings to do
and 1 response to finish by tonite.
i'm so tired that i just wanna rest and watch Boys Over Flowers.

miss.

5:57 PM, Monday, February 16, 2009

i know i can't keep up with this any longer.
half my semester is gone.
and despite going to school today, i din attend lectures and i went home @ 2+
-_-'''
i dunno wad on earth have i been thinking but sometimes i feel this sem's a drag. nothing quite motivate me but i still go on becos i have to.

it's not that i dun like soci.
it's just...all i wanna do is stay @ home.
sometimes i wish i can just get away from this place lOlx.
and in fact, am finding ways to.
i just want to get away...i noe i can't afford to think like this but i'm hoping this chance will be given for me to get away & then i'll promise 2 set this sem right.

watched the vid we're supposed to present Aloy while I was in school.
everything was so nice and touching..and it brought back fond memories the moment JW said Aloy asked her to eat durians and drink milo dinosaur when she had sore throat.
i could now rmb how clearly he said it during our Oweek and it was the start of his bhb-ness.
i could also rmb how we always eat tgt @ Seaview (now we dun do that anymore u noe)
i guess the only time i spent alot of time with Aloy was during the 1st sem or so..which kinda explained the hazy memories i had of him.

oh whatever...there's alot in my mind and i can't exactly put into words.
and when u hav 2 pple going back to Aust. on the same day, u can't help but compare them.

And when pple asked if i missed him, i dunno wad to say..i dunno whether issit cos of hazy memories but i do acknowledge his presence is very much felt in the clique.
and i start comparing again when my friends ask "won't u miss him"
i do. but i miss someone else more. and sometimes i miss another person.
so it becomes...i dun really miss Aloy in comparison.

I miss lim beh beh when he never replied my sms-es and only gave tt sad tone in his voice when i called.

Missing is quite a wretched thing.
don always think about it guys~

farewell.

1:32 AM,

One is my best online friend.
and the other is our GLC President who held us together and introduced new joys and pple to each of us.

I din send YH off (oh wells it's kinda awkward having 2 face lim papa alone) and i was glad i din lOls.

We sent aloy off..
it's the biggest send off i've seen. Maybe there's like 50 pple?!?
and when he had 2 leave, his family members hugged him and huiquan hugged him and it was all a very sad scene...
wad saddens me the most was when one of the lil kids kept calling "bye bye gor gor" as he constantly waved back.

Farewells are still an emotional thing even if ur heart's made of steel.
Even SX teared to which he kept denying lOlx.
And vicki was making a drama out of the entire 5-10mins.

Aloy's 'Thank You' Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Anyways, i may have smth up for the rest of the clique! Perhaps check out ur fb!

slap off those flabs

12:02 AM, Friday, February 13, 2009

oOo i din expect myself to exercise so much today.
i tot i'll just swing the racquet a lil.
but it turns out i played for 3 hrs!!!

i still have the desire to learn squash.
and been waiting for NUS 2 open some recreational squash hahahas...
i tink i'll wait until i graduate and i'll still b saying i wanna learn squash zZz.

i'm glad my heart is still as hearty altho i become more breathless
and suffered from horrible leg and toe cramps!
which is why i'll skip lecture tml heehee to avoid the impending muscle stiffness~

and i dun get why i can't wear dress -_-''' today lehs.

how i wish we have more of such outings so we can bond more.
i haven been hanging arnd these days~

6:23 PM, Wednesday, February 11, 2009

god. i wish i'm more reproductive but my readings are getting harder and harder to digest =(. esp those frm the technology module, they're killers and up till now i've not a clue which direction this module is heading.

i wish i can speak up more.
all my classes are so quiet except for 1 but i toOk the tutorial alone so i wasn't peer pressured into speaking up either lOls.

life is just BORING.
more action please!

and my friends are all so scattered and everything.
god knows what dey've been doing except tt dey're busy writing notes & hanging arnd on fb!!

Had dinner @ Tom Ton Central and we got $68 voucher for Black Pig Shabu Shabu. The white balley stuff u see here is black pig collagen which is dissolved into the water (as we all know, collagen promotes elasticity of skin and youthful complexion~)

The rest of our $68 set.
Black Pig (from front to back): normal meat, loin, shoulder loin, belly.
They all taste the same to me but this reminds me of the time i ate in japan where they had stewed meat (dey only gave 1 slice of pork -_-''') but it was the most delicious pork ever tasted! This is like 2nd best~

If you spot the 2 brown things @ the veggie side; those are enoki mushroOms which we additionally ordered. Tt's 6 bucks O.O

The chili-tofuey sauce.

And a mixed kushiyaki set ($13.80)

now i'm even more worried abt $$ matters.
no it's not cos the extravagant expenditure i have on foOd hehe.
but i'm already $12000+ debt ridden (and $2000 cos we nv pay for my lappie) and if i go into 4th yr, that's another lump sum.
feeling more and more guilty as the days go by =(

like a loooonngg dream.

9:45 PM, Friday, February 06, 2009

went back to return my uniform with franks..and had lunch and movie before he gOes back to the outback.

and i actually forgot my staff pass & letter ARGH.
i dowan to go back again boOhoOs.

it was raining heavily when we wanted to go to the flyer. tough luck.
and as we alight frm 111 (the bus stop has no shelter), we needed umbrellas 2 shelter us from the rain!
but instead, he dashed out of the bus and just ran into someone's umbrella immediately!
MY GOD. WHAT nerve. i was flabbergasted. hahas.
and henry (the owner of tt umbrella) was equally shocked toO LOL. 'who the hell is so thick skinned to come into my umbrella!'

This photo was almost successful after Anthony tried 5 times! Tall people just can't take photos lOlx.

and YES, strap me to my seat because i totally regret the amt i have to pay (our bill came to $98) but my mind body and soul was thoroughly satisfied with the meal.

The Desperate Houseboy

I had no idea the side dishes were free until ytd but dey're very fast forgotten when the main dishes came in like 10 mins.

BBQ beef: it still rocks the socks out of me! i can't stand this. the gravy's to die for...

Authentic Ginseng Chicken Soup: When drank on its own (as in without shuttling between dishes), the soup's like a treasure. It's got this awesome nutritious feeling and i lOve the glutinous rice inside.

Bibimbap: best eaten when served hot. All of the ingredients mixed tgt with a special red paste. my brother didn't like it when we ate there the last tym but yh says this is the bibimbap taste like the one he had in korea~

BBQ Pork: i didn't fancy this and i'm sOrry for my $98 & for the both of us! becos i guess i rmb-ed wrongly..perhaps it was pork collar that made me swoOn the last time i was there!

no. i dun comment about myself . heEx.

caught Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
i have to admit it's really boring in the middle parts and it's one of my 1st times recently that the theatre is full house.

but it's still a beautiful movie. i lOve the soundtrack and the plOt (?) and the fact u can make the same person so much older and so much younger (brad pitt in his teens wow!) the place dey've been..the scenery was great toO. i mean, who goes out on a date in a yacht and get to witness a rocket taking off!
or brush ur teeth in an open space overlooking the city of india ( i mean i dowan to do that but it's still coOl).
the whole theatre couldnt stop luffing @ the guy who struck himself in lightning 7 times lOlx.

strangely, quite a number of times i asked myself when's this show going to end..althO it's only been like 2hrs 45mins..it felt like i sat there the whole afternoOn lOlx..how ironic.

it reminded me of Big Fish and no, it doesn't end beautifully that way when u were to die as a baby, wrinkled free and no recollection becos the feeling's even worse not knowing what a life u've led.
It's like one of the most tragic things having to watch a young life pass away.

But if u're not patient and focused, u can't really watch this mOvie~

it's a day of mishaps toO.
my shoes, my necklace, my bag, my umbrella!

learnt about some things about the people i like and it makes me sad and even more not wanting to go back to work anymore.
maybe tt's how people feel when dey leave a place, dey don want to rmb it like it's some plague.
i tot i will be different. but it's been one of the great experiences in my life! I must say many memories and friends..so stubborn tt i barely hold on to~

stuck.

i hit the mid life crisis of my uni life.
my modules are giving me bad hits...no idea whether it's the fear of the words level 3000 or dey're seriously more demanding.
or is tt i have never been exactly hardworking?

wow i dunno.

my tutor asks us 2 ask goOd sociological qns becos according to him, alot of hons & masters students gave lousy, plain qns for their research papers that are not worth probing nor are they intriguing. ack. we're all bland, aren't we?
Academic stuff has made us all bland that all we think about is how to make our qns sound clever/ 'chim' or so complicated tt only academics can understand but the avg person dun find an interest in.

i'm oso quite sick of pple asking me what am i going to be next time.
oh wells yes i noe that answer is not clear cut like if u take a biz/ engine deg cos it already says u can work in the biz field/ be an engineer!
but u dun find pple who works in the sociology field, probably cOs i am not aware of what sort of mkt demands for this/ if the mkt is even present in SG.
or whether i want 2 be a researcher and seek to understand social problems/ be smth that can help companies/ associations to better understand their clients/ plans/ policies.
or that wad alot of Singaporeans do: to teach be it in a pri / uni level.

yeas it's not very clear.
and maybe tt's why alot of pple think subjects that dun give you tt clear idea is a useless one. In other words, they meant useless economically but they dunno they really mean that cos it's all that matters to alot of them.
which is rather true since the country's only geared towards certain industries/ professions because it serves our purpose in bringing the country to greater heights.

i'm so afraid of breaking through my glass ceilings.
actually i'm just one of the many moving shadows who listens but dun speak out...who has a thought but is afraid to express the ideas...who studies only when it's time to.
