BUT...B-U-T...i vow to finish the entire series by.....TOMORROW! haha. i'm not a chiong-ster and i told myself i would finish the series by friday. however, due to some circumstances that came up just now, i've decided to finish the series tml! hehe. very fast, 6 more to go only.

for friday,
i'll be tidying up the tables in the living room as well as my room. coz....DADDY'S GONNA BE BACK! and i want to surprise my mummy when she comes back at night! hehe. i shall post some wu liao before-after photos in my next entry. for now....is back to ER SHAO, TONG JIA DI and DI SHI HAO NAN SHENG!

in a baking mood

2007-09-02T21:27:00.000+08:00

dunno why, but i'm in a baking mood, perhaps is due to cooking veggies for the past 'many' days that spurred me.
i feel like baking/making.......

CHOCOLATE FONDANT!

or maybe some easy desserts. i need the help of my sis tho or i'll burn the kitchen down! ah well. i'm goin to look at some recipes. hehe.

my mind can't stop thinking about

chocolate fondant.

oh! and daddy's gonna be backkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
i miss my big tummy daddy and i'm sure he misses us too. hehe.

baking mood.

busy.

2007-08-17T23:32:00.000+08:00

too busy. with projects. heard that it's gonna be worse next sem. but heck. let me enjoy the hols first....which starts on 31 Aug. projects are settled. but exams are here. need to mug.

many thoughts. but dunno where to start. let me see....
i like life's little conincidences. it feels great to see people that you haven't see for "millons of years". after IHT presentation last week, i ran into ethel...at tamp! haha. it has really been eons since i last saw her. it's funny how we ran into each other at the east side, when both of us are living at the west. and today, i ran into kl! haha. also at tamp! she's also someone who i haven't seen for "hundreds of years". but i'm sure we are goin to meet up soon (hopefully), after my exams or sth.

made new specs last sat, after sending daddy at the airport. the specs shop was at teban gardens. saw the used to be rvhs sch building, with the new extensions and wat-have-you. the memories just came back. those were the days. gee. you know, i realise i neglect, unintentionally or sometimes intentionally, people. those, who were close. some of there are, so near yet so far. oh well. i'm tryin to change that.

ok. shall not continue. wat's important and urgent now is mugging.

2007-07-11T21:39:00.000+08:00

i will try to stay afloat in the sea of projects and tests.

4 weeks of challenges.

bless me.

2007-06-24T01:24:00.000+08:00

80% of report done, with much editing and appendix to do. my report doesn't flow hence the editing. hope that editing will help improve on the flow. *hopes*
there's still quite a few things that needs to be done.
if i'm not wrong,
there's a HCDE lab test on monday. i'll need to revise and read the notes tml.
there's PSPS presentation on wed.
report due fri.
choosing of CDS or electives as some maybe more familiar with the term.

TONS to do. not much time.

next holidays, from early sept, i will try 'playing around' with dreamweaver. i'll try not to while my time away, watching tv, being online whole day.

ok. back to editing report. THINK BRAIN. THINK!

2 movies this term break. not bad. HAHA. POTC:AWE & surf's up.

cute little arnold.

2007-06-16T00:08:00.000+08:00

2007-06-06T20:34:00.000+08:00

term tests are over! but i think i didn't do well for the papers. oh well. hopefully, my tbp still can get "A" eventually.

too full of myself, then i panicked.
overly pressurised myself. lack of concentration.
flopped at TBP. but it reminded me of my aim of getting As.
i dun HAVE to. i just need to try to get. even though i must say,
i didn't try hard enough.

oh well. i better dun try to stress myself. not good.
anyway,
it's BREAKTIME!

SMILE! though i have quite a few things that i need to do...

2007-05-29T20:04:00.000+08:00

so, i'm done with 4 quizzes and 1 presentation. think i did ok. but there's still more to be done. tml need to hand up PSPS stuff, i think. fri's IHT make up quiz. (WHY is it at 5pm? zzz) next week is the start of term tests. more mugging. thank goodness i have only 3 papers and i end nxt wed. after term tests, i need to do my field trip report, and 'the best is yet to come' project which i'm like ??? at my group's pace. oh well. gonna be a busy 2 weeks term break.
thinking of SENTOSA for field trip report. play and do report at the same time...ain't i clever/pathetic? but i heart IHT, i do mean it.

ok. i need to see what i need to do for PSPS and copy TBP notes.

photos are SG16 and the polys at pre u sem. shall try to upload more photos when i'm less busy..

2007-05-26T13:47:00.000+08:00

back from pre u sem. there are some stuffs i want to blog about, but i've got time constraints due to the STUFFS i have to face on mon and tues. 3 tests on mon, jap show and tell on tues, 1 test on tues. term tests is nxt nxt week. =X

"a great experience" - to sum it all.

i think i'll need to revisit these memories soon for some "learning development programme", the silly engineering school is having. BAHHH. poor us engine students.

oh and i watched POTC:AWE last night with dingy, connie, kel and nick who sneaked into the cinema. loophole at the entrance. anyway, i was so scared that i would fall asleep watching the movie coz it was almost 3hr movie, but fortunately, i didn't! and pirates is nice, although i would think the second one was nicer.

ok lah. shall stop here. MUGGING TIME!

2007-05-02T23:27:00.000+08:00

after 1month+ nearly 2months of holiday,

school starts.
yay....

schumi's in london!

kimura takuya

2007-04-21T01:05:00.000+08:00

watching the scene for the second time,
first on my vcd, second on ch u.
and it's still touching,
to the extent of heart wrenching.
two times, tears welled up.

this episode i call it the killer episode. the little ones have to leave the home. :(
the scene (starting from middle of the video below) is the killer scene. it's between shunta, misae and jiro. :'(

i heart kimura takuya and the little one who plays shunta.

oh what the heck, i heart the little ones in the show. they are uber cute.

2007-04-19T12:10:00.000+08:00

one word to describe my new sem timetable.

"GREAT."

tons of gaps (breaks),
tues i have 3 hours on odd weeks, 5 hours on even weeks.
wed i have 5 hours.

thinking of going to thurs lect, instead of wed so that i can go home and not stay in sch for 5 hours.

tues gaps are good for project discussion i reckon. but wed gaps... :(

on a brighter side, friday is a 9am-1pm day!

2007-04-16T00:29:00.000+08:00

today's the first time i watched F1 race on SPEED channel.
and i dun really like.
the commentary was funny but it wasn't very technical like james's and martin's. silly american commentators. they are funny with their gaspings, mimicking flavio and exclamations. their "commentary" was entertaining but wasn't good like itv's. maybe i'm used to james and martin.

another thing about speed channel which i dun like is the commericals. there's too much of them! oh well. but i still think watching english commentary is wayyy much better than chinese commentary. let's hope that the F1 races airing times return back to normal for TV2, if not....i have to watch speed channel again! ACK!

next race is ONE MONTH LATER! crappish F1 calendar!

on a different note, i think drama serials can make songs sound nice! for example...

this video is nice i think...but i have to warn, they are spoiler scenes for 转角! the first song is 几分 by 罗志祥. second one is 我想要说 by 蔡旻佑. third one is 问候歌. it's a fan vid lah which i thought is not bad. yar. and i think xiao zhu's acting for this show is way x100 better than the one showing on channel u sunday mornings.

last flight out

2007-04-09T23:10:00.000+08:00

i'm cheering up myself by reading the blog entries i written during sec sch. upset by yesterday's race. (read nxt entry)
it's super childish and crap and lame and mean...i can't believe i wrote that then.

there's a few songs which i blogged about, like these.

the era of the boybands.

and there was this song, from "joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat" musical.

donny osmond - any dream will do

F1 race.

2007-04-09T21:50:00.000+08:00

actually, i din want to blog anything about yest F1 race, which was disappointing in terms of Ferrari performance. but reading this comment from this person on a website....can't help it lah.

Massa Has A Lot To Learn
It seems that Massa still has a lot to learn. From pole, Michael Schumacher would always cut across the nose of the second place car and give that driver a simple choice of backing down or hitting either Schumacher or the wall. Massa left the door to first place open so long that I'm surprised that Button didn't have a chance to pass him.
For me, the greatest problem that I had with Massa was the fact that he seemed to have given up on the race after he spun off trying to pass Hamilton. Come on, is the Ferrari really slower than the BMW Sauber over an entire race distance?
We know that Raikkonen had his race pace limited by concerns for his engine. Yet he never gave up and drove as hard as he could to come away with six valuable points.
Unlike Massa, Kimi seems to get it: score as many points as you can, as early as you can. In the meantime, I hope Michael will meet with Massa and teach him a thing or two about how to start a race properly.
Brian Baum, Seattle

it's almost exactly what me and my sis commented while we watched the race yesterday.

massa was disappointing. mistakes, like the poor start. very poor. how i wished it was michael schumacher who was on pole, the one driving yesterday. it wouldn't have been like that.
moreover, even if schumi had a bad start or made mistakes like massa, he will never have given up, not even let the spectators feel that he was giving up. schumi will fight on and that's schumi's spirit. the never say die spirit.

i miss schumi in F1 races. it was his leap on the podium in the first/previous race, now, i miss him on track! :'(

kimi wise, he fought, and got a 3rd. it was considered good in light of the danger of having engine failure if he pushes overly too hard.

everyone makes mistakes. but...argh! hopefully massa learns and performs better in the coming race this week at Bahrain as well as the future races. this also applies to ross brawn's successor too, luca sth. his strategies need to be better. i hope there will be no more disappointing days like that man.

performing good in practices is not enough. it is performance in qualifying and more importantly in the race that matters.

oh, btw, modesty mclaren! #&(*^$())(*%#^*#*&}:\?>()*^%@!#@$#!%$#&**#

《转角*遇到爱》

2007-04-05T00:09:00.000+08:00

忽然想用华文来blog，所以就以华文blog咯。

姐姐会看《转角*遇到爱》，是因为有大S。看完，她说《转》的故事很

不错，有爱情，亲情，兄弟情。看完《花样少年少女》，我就看《转》，每天

一集。看到第十三集的我，的确，有感觉到这些“情”。还有一点,《转》仿

佛让我有以前看《流行花园》的感觉。

一种我看《花》没有的感觉，一种我不知如何形容的感觉。

话说回来，我还真的比较喜欢《转》。因为《流》和《花》是漫画改编的。从

漫画改编就大概有一个情节了。《转》则是“无中生有”。所以嘛，我还蛮佩

服《转》的编剧。漫画改编的偶像剧好处，就如我提过，它已有一个的情节。

“自由”偶像剧的好处，没有界限，自由发挥。坏处，漫画改编有它的局限，

“自由”的或许会“离题”。

《转》还有一个让我很喜欢的地方，就是它的插画。小猪在剧里饰演的秦朗

喜欢画画，所以剧中就有插画。插画有几米/《向左走。向右走》的感觉，有

一丝的浪漫。

心蕾的神灯

life after hana kimi is watchin "corner with love" by da s and xiao zhu recently. still watchin 1 episode per weekday on youtube. quite a funny show. haha. some excerpts from the show.

Qin Lang(Xiao Zhu) sings to Xin Lei (Da S)

Xin Lei plays the song Qin Lang sang to her as thank you

Qin Lang recites a poem and he teaches An Teng (Dean Fujioka) who likes the poem.

the sequel bug seems to have caught the taiwanese dramas. as far as i know, sequel for "It Started With A Kiss" is filming. and there are news that HANA KIMI (HK) and CORNER WITH LOVE (CWL) are also having sequels! filming for the sequel for HK is at the end of the year. CWL, no idea yet.

2007-03-28T22:46:00.000+08:00

2 weeks of waiting....
for the movie to become 'free'.
i have finally watched...

thanks to my bro and his 2 complimentary passes. :)

nice movie! it's a bit cheesy lah. but nice and funny! haha. i like.

so, the movie was free! for both me and dingy who i "treated". haha! small cinema, yet good audience. there was this guy at the back who laughed pretty loud, at the right time lah.

- sophie (s) moves the chair in alex's (a) apartment...
(a): What are you doing, you madwoman, you're wrecking my apartment!
(s): Well, I can't write sitting all the way across the room.
(a): No, go back to your corner!
: ... Fine, alright.
: I'm blocked. How am I supposed to get out?
(s): Go out the other side.
(a): But...but...I've never been out the other side.

- alex and sophie sing the song they written to doorman khan who after listening a number of times told them, "i have to tell you i am tone deaf."

wanted to watch this movie because there's hugh grant. he's old but charming. ahh. i'm thinking of "Notting Hill", "Two Weeks Notice"..romantic comedies, same genre. but whatever. haha. i like his blue eyes. pretty! and his voice. not mesmerising, but i didn't know he can sing. i like especially this song he sung...

"Don't Write Me Off"

anyway, there's a few other movies i feel like watching.
TMNT! Meet the Robinsons. Freedom Writers. Mr Bean's Holiday.
and there is this one...WHICH I CONFIRM WILL WATCH

i know i'm super KS, but anyone wanna watch

it's opening on 24th may in Sg but i can't watch on that day...but does anyone wants to watch that weekend? haha.

the trailer...

2007-03-22T00:13:00.000+08:00

jaw dropping experience.
not a metaphor and actually, my jaw did not "drop". *thank god*
but i did had a scare with my jaw. might sound a little absurd.

i was having biscuits late at night yesterday, researching and listening to songs. suddenly, the left of my jaw felt stiff, like 2 bones had "connected" together. i couldn't open my mouth wide. when i tried to open my mouth wider, it was a little painful. so i went to kitchen and i drank cold water from the fridge, thinking that cold water will loosen the jaw. then i went to the bathroom and looked at the mirror to see if there's any swellings or what-so-ever. no swellings. i tried opening my mouth wider a little, i couldn't. i thought of forcing to open my mouth wider. so i tried, then suddenly i remembered wu zun's dislocated jaw experience. i thought, i wouldn't want to dislocate my jaw and get rushed to the hospital at 2am. so i aborted the idea of using force. i drank cold water again, still thinking the water will loosen my jaw. then i went back to my room, hoping that when i wake up tml, all will be back to normal. but i didn't sleep. instead i tried to open and close my mouth again and again, a little wider whenever i opened my mouth, yet i had the fear of dislocating my jaw anytime. but miraclously, my jaw got better. after closing and opening my mouth for some time, i could open my mouth wider.

it was a damn scary experience. totally freaked me out. i didn't know wat caused the sudden stiffness. and i'm not proud to say, i developed 2 fears, hopefully they are short term, a fear of eating biscuits late at night and a fear of opening my mouth very wide. i kinda can understand wu zun's fear now. it's not funny man, not funny.

2007-03-19T22:48:00.000+08:00

disappointing hana kimi ending.
can't believe i waited for tt kind of ending.
why they dun end with some high jump competition which quan wins?
even it is better than.....ahh...disappointing.
and where's the other fave person of mine? mei tian?
he's one of the main persons in quan and ruixi's relationships!
how can he be left out at the end?
the whole serial is ok...but really, the start and the ending of a drama matters quite a bit.
i know maybe it's for part 2 of hana kimi...
but seriously, why such ending!

oh! oh! i just came up with a NEW ending for hana kimi.
quan participates in some national high jump competition. and he eventually wins. he decides to confess to ruixi that he knows she's a girl and he likes her. at the same time, no 1 fan ruixi also decides to tell quan that she's a girl. so, she dresses up as a girl and appeared in front of quan. quan with his trophy sees the female ruixi, smiles and he walks up to her....and END!

how's my ending? hahahhaa...i think is good! better than...lol! =X

on a very different note, another new link! SHARON AU's! well, in case you guys dunno, i quite like sharon au because...she has 菁 in her name! i thought 菁 is a special character, just like...me! whahaha. jk, anyway, she got nice photos in her entries~...sakuraaaaaa....pretty!

2007-03-15T22:46:00.000+08:00

姐在看“花样”的最后一集。真是的，看这样大声！
也不知道到底在坚持什么，不就是看大结局。迟早都要看的嘛！
唉。不知道不知道不知道。我到底在坚持什么？

a desire to go kbox-ing means a night w/o hana kimi on ch u.

dingy - free on wed and fri.
kl - i reckon she's free for weekdays since weekends she has tuition.

MISS CHEW'S ABODE (3 Mar 2007)

went to miss chew's house at punggol to bai nian yesterday. she lives in quite an ulu place. actually, little human activity lah. it's good for people who like serenity and peace. haha. i used to think my fourth aunt's house is quite ulu, but i changed my mind after yesterday. hehez.

anyway, we ate, talked, watched tv and looked at her wedding photos. hmm. no honeymoon photos tho.....but her wedding photos are nice. i like the kebaya (right?) she wore. realised she used to just live near my xiao gu's house, opposite the 4++ market, so near JJ lah. i think she dun have the "jurong west" face. hahahhahaa.

her husband is quite nice lah. haha. just that got a bit generation gap with us. hahahaha. maybe it's his "maiden" interaction with his wife's students.

some of the photos her hubby helped us to take...

btw, she's pregnant 5months and it's a BOY!

2007-03-02T13:35:00.000+08:00

'Twas a good day, almost perfect. :)
the end of the exams, going to roxy square to buy guitar, very late lunch, receieved call that i'm selected for the pre u sem thingy, coming home and watched hana kimi, online doing stuff. a simple day, but good :) it's a day of the meaning "退一步，海阔天空". hope there will still be days like this. :)

the day is almost perfect coz i bought the guitar w/o getting the receipt! stupid me. who buys things w/o getting the receipt? the proof of purchase! GEE. haha. but i rectified the mistake. called jesy and asked her to fax the receipt to my mum. *phew

didn't study till i look like the photo on the previous entry, almost looked like that. btw, that's wu (ji) zun. QUAN! i kinda like sportsman in drama serials (non-local)...eg halu, jiroh and now quan! speaking of jiroh...tonight ch u! ENGINE! wheeyew weet! there's jiroh and the cute little ones like akira, shinta and nanae! uber cute little ones. hehe. shinta's my favourite kid. :)

exams went not bad. think all my papers are ok. my brain is a bit saturated from memorising all the answers from rebus tutorials 5-9. finished rebus paper in 40min and i did the paper twice. once in the answer booklet and second in question paper. haha. i seriously think rebus paper is the test of one's memory skills which actually shouldn't be lah. now hoping for my "As" in my subjects. hehe.

photos taken some time back.. (top left & top right-bottom left-bottom right)
sisters and their brothers (young&old version)-third uncle looking like gong gong from this angle-daddy waving byebye

my favourite cute little kid in engine - SHINTA!

finally! completed REBUS project report! no more going to Tampines Mall and Century Square thinking of project...project...PROJECT!!!

including this one, it is the third time i'm doing time doing project with jas (4th time actually) and siong. the past three times' focus weren't on the report, until this present one. and some stuff came up.

i'm not going to talk the "stuff" that came up, coz it's rather long. more importantly, it's been settled alr. but wat i want to say is that, i'm grateful to be in the same group with the both of them. i really enjoy doing project with them. although sometimes, we drive each other nuts, but i'm very sure we get things done eventually.

to jas and siong,
thank you very much for tolerating my nonsense, my ego, my bossing-you-two-around and/or whatever crap, not only during doing project time and also any other times. sorry for not being a little more understanding to both of you. during the process of doing well, i have upset both of you unintentionally. i'm very sorry for that. i see and i know the effort both of you put in. i want to say, i'm very blessed to have known both of you and have both of you as my group mates. thank you~ :) -jing

2007-02-01T21:48:00.000+08:00

always feel tired on thurs. i guess it's the long day. lessons start at 8am and ends at 5pm, not inclusive of the travelling time. well, it's wasn't so bad initially, lessons used to start at 10, until the class decided to move fri's lab lesson to thurs. so my thurs looks like this:
facom lab-maths tutorial-rebus lect-facom lect-lunch-facom tutorial-rebus tutorial
thurs is generally a facom-rebus day.

even though it's tiring, but kinda enjoyable. mr phua, mr donald and mr raymond - facom lect/tutor, rebus lect and rebus tutor respectively.
two of them resent being called old...haha. mr phua and mr raymond. but only mr raymond likes to pretend to be young. haha. and he always "steal" my sweets every tutorial. -.-' oh well. another 1-2 weeks den no more. think i will "miss" him stealing my sweets and him asking us to treat him to lunch...haha.
i kinda like my rebus lect and tutor.
mr donald is very nice, very approachable and efficient. i remember emailing him and he replied to my email 1hr+ later. he's funny also. haha. him saying about his shape used to be "V", but now became "W". and talking about his sons during lectures.
something mr donald posted up in the external links section...
nothing to do with real estate, but it's quite cute.

2007-01-16T00:56:00.000+08:00

2 more months!!! i'm so anticipating the 2007 F1 season. i think it's the launching of the '07 cars for the F1 teams (especially Ferrari's last sunday) tt is making me go high!! i can't wait for the season to start! the post schumacher era begins! though i must say it feels weird not to see schumacher coz it's been 6 years for me to see him race. oh well.
anyway, ferrari's car is beautiful! super RED! haha! still not used to seeing kimi raikkonen in red! hehe.

something closer to home, but still relating to F1...
on my tagboard, bee mentioned bout having discussion of a F1 race in singapore right? i was surfing CNA's webby just now and i saw an additional detail to it. and trust me, it's uber COOL! haha!
picture this...F1 cars flying past the Esplanade, City Hall, Swissotel, Suntec City...eventually Ferraris winning the race...all these happening...under the night sky of Singapore! F1 night race! OMG. UBER COOL isn't it? UBER COOL! and i might get to see michael schumacher, if he drops by....like ohhhhhhhh..

reality check, all's still in talk tho.
but it feels good to be thinking about it. haha!

kimi in red! @ ferrari's WROOM 2007

presenting...F2007!
ain't she gorgeous? it looks like head of a red dragon, don't it?

2007-01-13T22:13:00.000+08:00

heard that there will be a longer working trip a few months later. =X

oh! i'm gonna be handphone-less a week too coz dad's taking my hp with him.

2007-01-13T01:59:00.000+08:00

an incident on thursday, made me disgusted but also made me feel blessed, to be me.

raining day is ice cream day! :)

2007-01-07T01:45:00.000+08:00

'twas a awesome friday. uber awesome :)
after lessons, i went to je for kbox-ing session with kl, dingy, xx and connie.

although it's common knowledge among us, but i still wanna say, kl sings damn nice can! i have one video of kl singing tong en's 本来, but w/o kl's consent, i can't make it public. :(

anyway, we sang till 720 or so, then we met up with janice and bee @ je interchange and we walked to imm to celebrate kel's bday @ cafe cartel.

someone (aka kel) was terribly bored while waiting for the food and he took photos of his phones and bee's. the photos kinda remind me of those you see at ebay and yahoo auction. lol.

then the food arrives! yummy! this time i remembered to take photos of our food! ribs, pasta, pizza...ooh. i'm hungry now. =X

some random photos. mostly taken by kel (the ones u know that the camera is put on the table top). a few taken by me and one is taken by kl, if i'm not wrong.

posed photos and shots of man-made dimple/let-me-poke-ur-cheek.

after we finished eating, me and xx began our sabotage kel plan. we first put 10 bucks into one red packet and we switched it with another red packet tt contains a dare. we got kel to choose 3 packets which 'supposedly' 2 should contain dares and one should contain money. but actually all 3 were dares. out of the '3' red packets, he chose one which i think was the hardest among the 3. he's suay i must say. lol. anyway, his dare was to get a female stranger's hp no which must contain digits 1, 7, 2, 0. it's uber difficult. he couldn't accomplish the dare of coz and he did a forfeit which he has to get a stranger (initially 3 strangers) to shake his hands and wish him happy birthday. took videos of him executing his dare. lol. same thing i can't publicise the videos either.

after sabotaging kel, we went to the civil servant club at bukit batok to meet nick for bowling. 'twas fun too.

random photos. kl and her eyes closed pufferfish face. bee+nick, bee+kel. kel's foot? two 'mysterious' round thingy and all our handphones put tgt. reminds me of those second hand hp shops. =X

i call the above photos, coach nick and his students.
hehez. don't nick seems like a coach looking at his students bowl? :P

some more posed photos.

group photo! now you see us....

now you don't! except for some extra named kel who turns 20 today! :P

xmas at nick's house
Part 2

countdown battle!
girls and guys at each side of the room.
guys armed with party poppers and cushions. girls armed with party poppers and party string spray.

no prize for guessing who won the countdown battle!

joking! we are one happy "family" :)

Xmas Eve at Nick's House

Part 1

one word summarises all. FUN!
meeting up with S18 peeps. xmas feast. playing bridge, daidee, bluff, heart attack, murderer! ohh...my....goodness...! FUN!

1: "artistic/blurred wende (dunno taken by who) 2 & 3: the girls! 4: "showdown" btwn ruiqiang+ jinyi 5: janice+hwibee playin cards 6: guys doing some magic trick 7: mahjong players
8: group photo! 9: random yet look not so random photo

behind the scenes of taking the group photo.

very random photos.

think the photos alone can't really say how much fun i had. it was awesome seeing people whom i haven't seen in ages. although i think it's quite dot dot dot to hear wat the guys talk about. they simply revolve around ONE topic. but oh well, can't blame them.

oh! i forgot to take photo of the xmas feast! there were salad, pasta, potato (which when put onto the ham looks like an egg, so says waiyee -.-'''), ham, cakes, gingerbread man, tomato soup and turkey. yar. imagine it urself. :)

that's about it, for Part 1.
Part 2 coming soon. more photos and maybe more ramblings.

M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S !

as the bus goes by a familiar building,
scenes of the past came back to the mind.
the building that was so familiar,
yet with a foreign name.

as the bus travels down the road,
another building bearing a familiar name stands.
the name is still the same,
but gone are the logo and the uniforms.

as the bus moves on,
the commuter muttered sadly,
things change.

---

the never ending pouring rain on tuesday.
stops and pours,
stops and pours.

the coolness of the air,
the sound of the raindrops,
the music of mother nature.

rain.
the replacement for snow?

the streets may be damp,
but hearts are warmed,
with love of all sorts.
ah.
the festive season is nearing.

ho ho ho!

2006-12-17T23:53:00.000+08:00

eventful since the end of term tests. i shall let pictures do most of the talkings.

wednesday: end of term tests, out with poly peeps to vivocity. supposed to watch 'happy feet' with cs, jas and kk, in the end there was no tickets. ended up taking photos and shopped around.
last row 2nd pic from the right, unknown little girl, adorable?

then i met up with sooeng and wenjie to buy doris's bday pressie @ jp.
2nd row of photos were taken on friday, met up with some of the odac girls for lunch + shopping @ orchard.

thursday: i went to vivo again. this time with janice and dingy. we walked around and i tried on some Gap clothes for sis.

today (sunday): was supposed to go cycling at ubin with S18 peeps. but due to bad weather (raining meows & woofs), we didn't cycle. instead we went tm and watched 'open season' after stepping afoot onto the concrete jetty of ubin.
row 1 3rd photo from left, unknown little boy who looked pretty scared.

momentary liberation! the term tests has finally ended! studied a bit hard tho they were only an hour each. apparently, the house is quite a condusive environment when i'm all alone by myself. but there are times whereby the brain refuses to register any stuff in. oh well.

i'm one day away from the end of my home alone experience. *yay* i miss my family so so so much! i miss being with them, travelling with them!
oh! many realisations. first, i came to realisation on the 2nd day of being home alone - i have to learn how to cook, other than instant noodles! haha! maybe like wat warren suggest, spagetti? worth considering. hehe.

this home alone experience made me realise wat a muddle-headed person i could be. leaving the key to the letter box at the letterbox? like OMG. and i din realise i left it there until when i open my door the evening of the next day and i saw the key dangling at my gate. i'm so grateful to the person who returned me my key.

oh! and i din realise my importance. whahhaa. no lah. the caring side of my uncle. my uncle (dad's bro) will call me constantly to check me up - to see if i've eaten, to remind me to lock all my doors, take my keys, to wake me up and etc. at the beginning i din like it. but slowly i felt his care, like so nice of him. family warmth. hehe. it's so funny at times when he call. when i came home a bit late and i answered his call, he said he thought i purposely dun answer his phone! of coz not. i'm a good girl! haha. anyway, he told me to be careful and dun come home so late (even though i reached home before 10pm). i thought it was nice of him. ahh. family warmth. i feel it. ensuring that the niece arrives home safe and sound. =)

hmm..even though you wun read it or you wun even understand, but thanks Ah Pek! haha. i saw a different side of you which i have never seen before. i think my parents didn't seen it before too. hehe.

ok. super tired. i think i need to clear up the mess i created in one side of my parents' bed, like later or sth. hehe. one more day and i'll see my dearly missed family! =)

one day down

2006-12-10T13:41:00.000+08:00

gone the first day of being home alone. nothing special. just study, study and study + watch tv . dunno if anything went in my brain.
i made lunch for myself. whahhaa. i cooked instant mee + microwaved chicken franks. actually wanted to take photo and post it, but i thought it looked too ugly. studied again then went for guitar and bought dinner - duck rice. watched tv and studied. then i went to bed.

i'm now 'situated' in my parents' room where there is bed, toilet, tv and etc. well furnished, "fit for human habitation". sorry, rebus stuff. therefore, i dun really step out of the room much. hmm. i dun think i step out of the bed much either. i eat on the bed *oops*, i study on the bed, i watch the tv on the bed, i go online on the bed, i sleep on the bed....yar...i do most things on the bed. hmm, there's no need for table and chairs! whahahhah.

just had my lunch - instant mee+can of peanuts+kick-a-poo. well, i'm kinda regretting my inability to cook, except for instant mee. hahaha. i promise i'll learn how to cook, nxt time. hahhaa. goin to je later for dinner with dingy. yar.

kinda miss my family. i mean they are enjoying man, and i'm cooking instant mee for lunch. haha. but i know they miss me too. hehez. the sms-es and calls. i still dunno how to call them tho. hmm..it's a good experience, i think. if i go further my studies overseas or something, at least i had the experience of being away from my family.

i'm such a plant (flower..LOL) in a greenhouse!
alrighty, time to head back to studies.
*mughead in training*

2006-12-08T19:53:00.000+08:00

what will be next? hopefully, there's no next.
wake up bro!
zzz.
the week long of home alone begins...tml. i'm preparing to miss them alr.
TIME TO MUG!

birthday.

2006-12-01T21:48:00.000+08:00

yesterday was my birthday. and i kinda believe that birthdays are lucky. haha. =) let me see. this is the first bday i ever spent in school. and it was a "event-ful" day, school wise. birthday wise, not so.
got back math quiz, and yup, got full marks. haha. not bcoz i'm clever, is because of the years of practice. and actually, i shouldn't get full marks. but oh well. then had real estate biz lect, then had FACOM lect...after lunch had FACOM quiz. i think that quiz is kinda goner. dun think i can get good marks. din study until i was very sure, i only had a brief idea. oops. not studious enuff. =X anyway, after FACOM quiz...then was the real estate assignment presentation, i suppose it is the major highlight of the day, school wise lah.

mr raymond had a straight face when he came. i was thinking, jialat, he bad mood. but slowly he kinda lighten up. so heng lah. haha. anyway, kian loong and paxton presented first on their residential sector. mr raymond asked them alot of qns as they presented. SCARY. when they finally finished presenting, mr raymond immediately read aloud their marks - marks for the different components of the assignment, individual presentation marks and their total marks. STRESS. after pax and kl, was farhan and sophii. they did on retail sector, same as my group. halfway thru their presentaion, mr raymond stopped them. apparently, they were out of point. STUNNED. my group started panicking. we were super afraid we were also out of point. a few more groups presented, most of their total scores were around 35-38 out of 50. juz when i thought maybe my group has to present nxt week, i heard my name called out. so, we had to present.

fortunately for us, we were on the right track. *phew* the questions he asked, some we could answer, some we smoked thru. haha. while i was presenting halfway, mr raymond told me to stop moving. lol. apparently, i was swaying, swinging, moving around alot. and i din realised that. i stopped moving, but shortly, i moved again. not fidget, i was swaying. whahhaa. oops. in the end, guess wat! my group did well! even though we missed out on some stuff. but we did well. despite my swaying, i still got full marks for my individual presentation while my groupmates got a mark lower than me. so my total score was....*drum roll* 46/50! WHAHAHAHA. 46/50! felt a huge sense of worthwhile, all the efforts that we put in - goin to chinatown and orchard road on sunday for "site visit", me staying up till 2am then 1am doing the report, staying back in sch till 7pm doing the presentation, doing up the presentation on the mrt rides home, the lack of sleep...i felt that it was all worth it. my whinnings, my anger towards chunsiong and jasmine, sort of came to nought. 46/50! haha.

after the presentation, and after a short chat with mr raymond at the canteen, we went home. jasmine and chunsiong gave me a piggy plushie on the train - my bday gift. i was surprised, coz i wasn't expecting any gifts. i came home and went out again for family birthday dinner. went to imm and ate at long beach restaurant. reached home at 11++ and cut cake. and that's how my bday was spent. pardon for the long REBUS assignment mention. hehe. ok. super tired. goin to sleep soon. time to make up the lack of sleep i had for the past week.

busy. busy. busy

2006-11-25T17:51:00.000+08:00

i shouldn't be blogging now as i should be reading the research materials i have for the assignment due next thurs. but oh well. i'll make it up later..which means...less/no TV! apparently, my group haven't been doing anything except for researching, gathering information. as far as i know, one group is at least almost done with the report and is doing the presentation. helllppp. oh. and it doesn't help when groupmates research and throw you everything they find, asking you if the information they find is suitable. sometimes, i feel like telling them...wth. can't you read and tell me? at least they do stuff i guess. ahh. information overload. and next thurs is supposed to be a good day! very good day! let's hope everything turns out good. need to complete a report and presentation by thurs. i think i'll do the intro + features by myself later. then tml i'll do the types of real estate and case studies together with them.

back to reading the information. i'm learning so much about the retail sector in singapore...which i think i'll forget immediately after completing the report and presentation! lol. wish me luck...for the presentation as well as the FACOM quiz on THURS.

oh oh oh! yesterday Mark Advert came to TP to give talk about Harry's Island. it's very nice! wish i could see wat the other 2 bidders presented. in case you are wondering...he's the chairman of Eighth Wonder. Eighth Wonder's one of the bidders for the Sentosa IR. he came up with the concept of Harry's Island 12 years ago. he's not that much of a fantastic speaker, but he's one imaginative fellow. Harry's Island = Indiana Jones + James Bond. oh. Pele's coming to TP on tues! but i think i'm going to give it a miss. 5-9pm. i'll be dead beat by the time i reach home if i go see him. ok. half an hour more to guitar lesson. the song on my blog doesn't load. think it's too big. super nice song from GOONG! if only shin goon got bigger eyes, it will be nice. haha!

back to rebus! i need time!

feeling very very pissed off at the moment.
my stupid bro did stupid things. he's plain stupid. what an idiot.
so many freaking tasks to do. so many things. so little time.
reports and presentation.
my brains are bursting. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
am i only the one who is racking my bloody brains.
i maybe a little hardworking, i may understand things a little better...
i am not super. things are just going so sucky. just suck.
and my bro just have to make me super pissed off during the time when i feel damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn sucky.
now to do the research. if i had more time, i'll feel it's a pleasure...
now, it's suck. SUCK!
my bro is stupid.

2006-11-16T00:18:00.000+08:00

humans are hard to please.

2006-11-13T22:34:00.000+08:00

i was watching ruz, regz and some of ruz's friends' cs108 projects. kinda made me, i dunno, a little upset but more veryx3 impressed of the short films they made. i used to want learn how to film short videos, not paparazzi style, but something that is at least of a little depth. there's so much to making a film...coming up with ideas, storylines, scripts, castings, locations then you have to film, and edit. i hope to learn how to do all that. it was the first reason why i wanted to go mass comm.

slowly, i kinda forgot why i wanted to enter into mass comm. all i could remember was 'i want to go into mass comm.' my mum wasn't aware of wat i wanted to do. when she was aware of it, she couldn't really see wat future it had, hence she was unsupportive. anyway, i forgot the basic reason, but i came up with another reason, being a newsperson.

cutting the crap, in the end, i couldn't enter uni at all after 2 yrs in jc. and i'm in poly studying in a field that is of my next interests - IR/tourism. i guess it is my second love. digressing again. anyway, i guess what i want to say is, i remembered the very first reason of wanting to go mass comm - learning to make short films. perhaps one day i should try...making my own short film...very short one. someday...

2006-11-03T22:29:00.000+08:00

i am not math pro. haha! but interestingly, sometimes i do teach a teeny weeny bit better than the lecturer cum tutor does. but, matrices is still my weaker link.

feel the stress to do well. coz i'm from jc and i seemed to be able to ans most of the tutors' qns...there is this pressure building up in me. high pressure, high temp....ooh. reminds me of the air-conditioning system. compressor->condenser->refrigerant control->evaporator....haha! ACK!

but then again, you can call me sadistic, but i kinda enjoy the feeling when my brain is forced to think! think! think! must be the lack of exercising my brain for the past 10 months.

kinda enjoyed today despite lessons starting at 8am. ran into RQ at lakeside on my way to sch. talked quite a bit. den saw a junior at the nat lib after sch as me and my friends were finding place to do proj/study. it feels good, i guess, to see familiar faces. perhaps is the absence of familiar faces where i now study.

ok. i shall go revise on some stuff. bonus math mcq test next week.

2006-11-02T22:19:00.000+08:00

first time in my life i met a person of a particular profession telling me, 'this is not important.' and "kindly" refuses to answer my query. i wonder, if it's not important why is the question in TUTORIAL?

today was my first REBUS tutorial. interestingly, the last slide of the tutorial states 'this is the best time to clear your doubts'. i left the tutorial class having more question marks than i left lecture. however, i still think REBUS is an interesting module and the tutor is not bad despite him spouting quite a few technical terms which i don't quite understand yet.
'quidquid plantatur solo, solo cedit' - this latin phrase means 'that which is attached to the land is part of the land'. i like REBUS even though it seems difficult to excel!

learning is fun, but i'm feeling a bit tired...the early mornings and long travelling time, gee.
endure! i can do it!

going to have pair discussion tml @ vivo with my classmate after sch. maybe after which, going to do math with some other classmates. dun like gaussian elimination. matrics - my weaker link. =(

2006-10-27T23:20:00.000+08:00

i guess people might be/are bored with the michael schumacher stuff that i blog about, so i decided to blog about something that is not michael schumacher related. my first week of school!

well, tp is kinda far from where i stay, it takes me about 2hrs of travelling time to get there. luckily, my lessons are not that early for this sem, apart from fridays when lessons start at 8am. and i'm not the only one who has such long travelling times, there are also a few others who lives in jurong area.

for the oct intake, there's only one Integrated Facility Design & Management (FDM) class (which is my class, duh), consisting of 24 people. most of them come from ITEs, a few of them completed army, one from MI, one from sec sch and one, who's like me, completed her As. so, basically, only 2 guys are younger than me (i think one of them is transfering course). anyway, half of the class is malay, and the other half is chinese + one burmese. so, it's kinda balanced. the class is quite 'on' despite us knowing each other for only a few days.

lessons wise, i think the first week has gone pretty well. was thinking of exempting Engineering Maths (EMATH), but changed my mind coz i hope it will help me to pull up my GPA score (my goal is to get at least 3.5).
this sem, i'm taking - Facilities Operations and Mangement (FACOM), Real Estate Biz (REBUS), EMATH1, Writing and Oral Presentation (WRTORAL), Introduction to Effective Communication (EFFCOM), AutoCad and Applied Principles For Effective Living (APEL). met almost all my lecturers and tutors except for one, my rebus tutor, coz there's no tutorial for rebus this week. well, think all of them are pretty ok.

eh. dunno wat else to say...ermm except,
i've got a cold.

time to rest! tml is tutorials, revise work + guitar day.

it's do or 'die'. muggers rule.

THE END OF AN ERA
(my last entry about Michael Schumacher as a F1 driver)

Yesterday was Michael's last race as a F1 driver. even though he finished fourth, i still think it's nonetheless a good performance by him. ever since japan grand prix two weeks ago, he seemed to have lucked out. engine failure then, to fuel pressure problem in interlagos (brazil) qualifying, to having a puncture in his left rear tyre after a maneouvre to overtake fisichella during the race yesterday. despite of all that, he showed his fighting spirit, his keep-on-going attitude during his final race.

starting from the grid position of 10th, within two laps he was up at position 6. as mentioned before, a maneouvre to overtake caused his tyre to puncture, resulting in him dropping all the way to position 20th (the last car). he was 70+sec behind his teammate, massa, who could lap him at that point of time. as the race proceeded on, schumi overtook many other drivers (my personal fave of overtaking maneouvre is the one between him and kimi). at the end of the race he is 24sec behind massa.

i would say, it's not a great race by michael, not a very pleasant way of ending his racing career, but the race showed his determination, his superb driving skills and his attitude.

weirdly, his last race yesterday, didn't have the same emotional feeling i got when he announced his retirement during monza. maybe, if he had won the race and ferrari clinched their constructors championship, it will be another story. but i'm sure, the impact of his race is not as great as his announcement.

after michael's announcement, reports labelled his retirement as 'the end of an era'. seriously, i didn't agree with it totally till i realise it is apt an hour back. no more days of listening to commentry saying, it's a battle between schumi and blah-blah-blah. no more. it is going to be battle between kimi and/or alonso with someone else. schumi, a F1 driver of 16 years hangs his helmet.

feeling very tired, slept for 3hrs20min last night. shall continue with it next time.
not entirely the last, but i'll continue it here the nxt time..

2006-10-22T15:24:00.000+08:00

school starts tml.
the coming 3 years, i need to be focus + balanced.
i have a goal to attained.

it reminded me days in JJ.
from 1st 3 months to after 1st 3 months...
shan't talk bout it too much, shall move on...

oh. i saw some lookalikes. haha. there was this x-ors who looked like a rvsj senior, weeseng. i thought it was weeseng at first glance. on the second look, he dun look that alike coz weeseng got much bigger eyes. heez.

another chapter of my life begins...
new people, whole new experience....
timetable wise, thurs ends at 5pm (means i reach home ard 7) and fri starts at 8 (means i have to leave the house at 6am)...other than that, it seems pretty ok.

when the freaking hell can i get my ezlink card????

p.s schumi's final f1 race tonight...*sob*

2006-10-17T13:33:00.000+08:00

shiba is my miracle laptop! haha! thanks to my itchy hands, i switched on my shiba which was supposedly dead. who knows, it then suddenly started up! all's working fine! OMG. miracle lappy. zhen shi tai shen qi le! lol. so no more sharing of comp with my bro and i guess no new laptop for the meantime...but i'm fine with it, i think. hehez. now trying to update my lappy with anti-virus stuffs and scanning for viruses.

oh! last night i watched the lastest episode of The Amazing Race 10. seriously, i feel like kicking the ass of ch5. it's such an entertaining show can! i'm still quite amazed by this season. new surprises from time to time. from eliminating the team during in the middle of a leg in the 1st episode, to having to listen to the clue, to this latest episode where it is the non-elimination leg. and the rule has changed. the last team can keep their possesions and money but they have to reach the pit stop first in the next leg or the team will incur a 30min penalty! so cool lah. kudos to TAR team for thinking such surprises.

some racers worth mentioning...
1) peter. he's such a jerk. his gf is disabled, running around with an artificial leg, and he tells her, 'hurry up sarah.' then when sarah tells him she can't go any faster, he says, 'i didn't ask you to go faster.' hmm...i wonder wat does 'hurry up' means then. another incident, at one of the road blocks, most of the guys from the other teams did it but peter decides to let sarah do it. instead of being encouraging, he hurries sarah and is not at all encouraging. wat a jerk!

2)the cho brothers. they are kinda funny. haha. they do stupid pranks. the pilot episode, they filled up toy water guns and shot at the other teams in the US airport. then, the security came and warned them not to do it again and confisicated their guns. haha. playing toy guns at US airport, what were they thinking? and the latest episode, they decided to freak peter out. so, they took out a fake phone and started to pretend they are calling to order air tickets. fyi, peter freaked out. lol.

ok. gotta go to clean up the house to prepare my sis's god-sis's arrival. tataz~

2006-10-09T23:46:00.000+08:00

since young, i knew my dad snores...
then sharing the same bed with my bro, i found out that he snores too...
now, using the comp in the living room surfing net (F1 stuff/blogs/playing games),
i realise,
MY MUM SNORES!
she's taking her "nap" on the floor.
gee. she must be really tired.
dun think i heard my sis snore when i used to share the bed with her...
and i wonder do i snore...
hmm.

p.s michael conceded the title to alonso yest. i still can't believe wat happened to his engine. i'm feeling bitter.

2006-10-08T01:24:00.000+08:00

i bought F1 Racing from Kinokuniya!!! WHAHAHA. my precious~

anyway, i'm going to stop my f1 talks for this entry....
i'm going to TV talk! lol.
just watched 'stuck on you' on ch5. nice movie! wanted to watch it last time in cinemas, but didn't watch in the end. i find it a bit short, especially the part where the brothers miss each other after they wanted to do their stuff, still can be elaborated a bit more. nonetheless, niceeee~

speaking of nice..."better halves" is damn nice! better halves, better known as jin pai bin ren. uber nice! the plot is not draggy and the dialogues are witty. why can't sg serials be something like that? no need to have so much back stabbing/hatred in the serials and have a bit of funny, not so draggy story plot! i like yi xian qian from jin pai bin ren! futou, baihe, gao fei, linghui xi, ping an, xiangxiang!

v tired...going to sleep.

19-20 oct...orientation. need to reach TP at 8AM! 8!!!! ACK!

2006-10-02T02:25:00.000+08:00

there's no such thing as the curse of the Shanghai circuit! the curse was broken by Michael Schumacher who did fantastically wonderful in today's race! haha. this entry is kinda late coz the race ended 10 hours ago, but who cares! haha. and i know i might be boring some people who reads my blog, but who cares! haha! schumi's the greatest! WHAHAHHA.

anyway, this race was quite a miracle drive by schumi. things were looking ok on friday practices and sat morning practice...then it went terrible on qualifying. but the cards were turned and lady luck shines on schumi! hehez.

of coz, this race shows many people why schumi should be/is no doubt one of the best f1 drivers. during qualifying, when almost all the bridgestone runners were out, he was the sole bridgestone runner still in the top 10 shootout. he tried his best with the tyres that weren't suitable for the weather conditions and he managed a sixth, which wasn't that bad.
the team began to do the 'damage limitation exercise' for race day. but the damage limitation exercise turned into something much more wonderful - a victory!
alonso pushed too hard during the start of the race which caused the left front tyre to be badly worn out, hence he has to change his front two tyres, so he can't keep up the pace which the others were doing, who didn't change their tyres. on his 2nd pitstop, he had a problem with the rear wheel nut and it caused him a whole lot of time crucial for the race.
all the drivers switched into dry tyres, which at that time was the sensible thing to do, but the tyres needed some warming up to do. this enabled michael to overtake fisichella who had a little problem with the track with his dry tyres, coming out from his pit stop at turn one, . i would say that was a risky yet deciding manoevre which helped michael to claim his victory in Shanghai...breaking the curse and "equalising" the championship position with alonso.
(they are not really 'equalised' in a way, as, if both of them have the same championship points in the end, michael will still get the world champion title as he has won a race more than alonso)

with michael's genius, his driving skills, a little lady luck and mother nature's help (it started to drizzle 3 laps before the race ended..phew~), who says michael isn't one of the best?!

p.s. i'm thinking of goin to kinokuniya sometime maybe this week or nxt week to find & buy f1 magazines on schumi...anyone want to accompany me?! hehez.

2006-09-27T01:00:00.000+08:00

currently reading: Team Schumacher: the men who painted F1 red again

this book is certainly ain't not for everyone to read. if you aren't a F1 fan, Schumi fan, it wouldn't interest you in the first place.
anyway, this book isn't about michael schumacher alone. Team Schumacher. so, other than michael, it mentions about ross brawn, jean todt, rory bryne, willi weber and etc who are part of team schumacher. i have yet to finish the book, coz i'm taking my own sweet time to read..
it's interesting to read about each of their lives. note: interesting but not inspiring. coz the times are different. as what ross brawn and rory bryne said, if their resumes were given to Ferrari now, they had no chance at all. so, the methods they use to become what they are now are not feasible for us.

i am fascinated by all the stories i read from the book, of course most fascinated by michael's story of coz. but i am amazed also by a chapter in the book which mentions about Enzo Ferrari - creator of Ferrari who passed away in 1988. i must say, some of his words made me scratch my head, coz my language skills are not up to the standard aka i dun understand.

"We live in a vast prison, like Kafka's. The world is penitentiary, and we are the inmates caught in an instinctive egotism, we have to depend on our own force and nothing else. Whatever we pretend, we value others not for the good they can do us, but for the evil they might. The man who might kill us receives our full attention. He requires it, for we live in a cruel world where violence has taken the place of reason, a world where the only positive element is fear, the chief instrument of power."

"Suicide is an act of courage. No man who takes a journey into the unknown is cowardly or vile. A man is nothing until he is dead. It is death that puts a stamp on his personality. Death has led me to constant self-examination, but I know life is an illusion, mainly the illusion that we are something. So when people talk about my fame, I know better than to be taken in by it. I am a man who has pursued an adventure. But it is probably an error to say who I am; if I am unable to see the defects in the machines I build, how can someone else judge me?"

"The modern world creates idols, which is cruel, when the intent is then to destroy them."

shall end this entry with words from the others...talking about michael's passion for racing when he's young and the active dad/husband michael is.

"I just could not continue if I did not have a sponsor. At that time he was in a good business, and he said, 'Ok, I will do it, and the only thing I want to have is your trophies.' So I said, 'That's fine for me - I can drive and you get the trophies..." -michael talking about Jurgen Dilk (i guess without Jurgen, there might not be michael in F1)

"He was so small then, just a little boy. He weighed less than 50 kilos - but he drove the karts so fast! He was interested only in them. He would go to school, he had some friends, some girlfriends too, and he would go to the cinema or play football, or sometimes go to a party, but most of his time he was at the kart track or he was training. That was his life." -Udo Irnich who grew up with michael at the Kerpen kart track

"Michael was leading. Then on the second lap, he knew he had a problem. He put his hand on the engine, where he felt he had a carburettor problem. He left his hand there for eighteen laps, driving with one hand on the wheel. He won the race. Afterwards he told me what was wrong: apparently there were two small screws loose on the fixing of the carburettor. That victory helped him win the German championship, when he was about fifteen or sixteen, I think." -Jurgen Dilk recalls the German championship for juniors, one of the many kart events he went with michael

"Michael is such a family man. One of the reasons why I love him is the way he is with our children. He always has time for them and it is wonderful to see how much he enjoys it. He is never happier than when he is playing around with Gina and Mick. He is always thinking of things to do with them: climbing, trampolining, playing around - those sort of things rather than singing or reading with them. That's where I come in. Michael is the more active one. He can hardly sit still. We never spend the day on the sofa together or simply hanging around. Never. He is incapable of it. Obviously, we sometimes watch a film together, but afterwards we get on with things again. He is unstoppable. He always has o do things, and always he finds something. he has a go a t everything. And, above all, he can do everything." -Corinna on michael

i've just finished watching the 1st episode of The Amazing Race 10 on somewhere. hehez. anyway, it still is an awesome show! very nice!!! why don't ch5 air it?? they air reality programmes like project runway, america's next top model...*sob* come on man. TAR is entertaining and educational - we can see other parts of the world without leaving our homes! gee.
well, i hope my source continues providing it...

i was surprised when halfway thru a leg (means it's not a pitstop), 1 team got eliminated! no one saw that coming. i think that was great thinking by the TAR team. 10 seasons, people would have thought they know EVERYTHING about the show. ah-ha! u are wrong! there are surprises! i wonder what other surprises will there be. hmm...

oh! oh! the roadblock was kinda icky, in my opinion. haha. each racer from each team have to eat FISH EYES! fyi, fish eyes is a chinese delicacy. ACK! and i never eaten fish eyes in my entire life! maybe because i don't live in China where fish eyes is a common food. goodness. EAT FISH EYES! =X

but still, TAR's a cool show and is simply fantastic! haha. i love The Amazing Race!

summary of Monza race and Michael Schumacher Tribute.

months of anticipating, it is finally announced.

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER TO RETIRE AT THE END OF 2006 SEASON.
Ferrari's 2007 line-up will be Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa.

i'm sad upon hearing this news. when Michael was announcing his decision, it brought me close to tears. note. close to tears.

i first heard the commentators saying that they heard that Michael radioed in to his team on his lap back to the parc ferme, telling the whole team he was going to retire. hence, it explains Jean Todt's reddened eyes. anyway, after parking his car at the parc ferme, Michael hugs his Ferrari mates - his mechanics, Jean Todt, Corinna, and the Ferrari President. it took much longer time than it usually takes. while they were still waiting for Michael to appear on the podium, the commentator announces, "It's official! Michael Schumacher to retire." no usual leap of his on the podium upon him stepping on it. but he did jumped twice after receiving the trophy. at the press conference, the man announced. from what i got, one of his reasons of retiring is that his retirement would be fair to Massa who was performing okay and had no idea what his future will be. I guess Michael could have stayed on, if Ferrari hadn't sign Kimi but Ferrari need a strong driver to replace Michael in time to come and Kimi was the one the team decided on. If they did not sign Kimi, Kimi will go to Renault which will not be good news.

anyway, my thoughts and feelings about Michael.
i started watching F1 in year 2000, if i didn't remember wrongly. i wasn't such into F1 at the beginning. it was my siblings who were into it and i just watched along with them. if you ask me then, seeing the drivers go round and round nice meh? i would reply no, but i still continue to watch coz i didn't want to be like the others who are into soccer. now, my reply will be yes, don't underestimate wat's in that rounds that those drivers undergo. it's rounds of teamwork, hardwork and money. that's something that i understood while i watch F1. even though in the F1 car, there's only a driver in the cockpit driving the car, but he can't do it alone to win the race without the help from his race engineer and his mechanics. what made me see that teamwork was Michael Schumacher and the Ferrari team.

the drive he has, the passion he shows, his fighting spirit is a motivation for me. i was at my lowest point in life for the second quarter of this year. it may sound absurb but Michael Schumacher was my motivation power then. Ferrari didn't do that well, but was improving at that point of time. their race performance was so so and Michael had a few retirements. in spite of that, Michael continued staying positive, the positive mind that things will go well eventually for them. and i used the same positivity he has to keep me going. his words and actions are motivation, encouragement for me - to never give up, nothing is lost, hardwork does pay off.

i don't go out often because i don't want to or no one asks me. but anyway, F1 is one of the thing i look forward to. it's not just watching the qualifying and/or the race on the TV only. i now look at the relevant news of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari, their practice timings, the post press conference. when the race starts, i also look at the timings while watching the ongoing race on TV. my mum says i'm as though part of the team. haha. anyway, a race weekend for me means i have got somthing to pass my time. do i sound loser-ish? maybe. but this has become a habit. my parents know that if we go out on a race day, i have to be home 30min before the race starts coz i will not want to miss any F1 race, seeing Michael racing. it's quite fascinating how i became so into F1 or Michael actually. no idea. i even have no recollection when i started support him. interesting...

it never crossed my mind that Michael has such an impact on me. i always thought he was only a F1 driver who i supported and that was it. nothing else more. but it's until today, when the news he's retiring broke, i felt a tinge of sadness due to some thoughts. it's then i finally realise his influence on me other than a mere F1 driver. with his retirement announced, i'll have one wish unfulfilled, which is to watch Michael Schumacher race in a F1 car live in action. although i have to say, maybe it won't be something that i'll regret in time to come, but still, unfulfilled wish. i'll still support Ferrari, with Kimi as my favourite driver after Michael retires. but, i know the Flying Finn won't have the same influence power Schumi has on me and F1 for me won't feel the same without Michael racing in it.

I wasn't watching at the era when Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell, or the late Aryton Senna rule. I started watching at the era when Michael Schumacher rules. For that, he will always be the greatest F1 driver i known so far. This blogskin, from being a mere support for Michael Schumacher, is now my little tribute to him for his years in F1. Thank you Michael, for what you have taught me unknowingly. Teamwork. Passion. Fighting Spirit.

Ferrari's line-up for 2007 will be announced after sunday's Monza race!

i'm feeling actually abit excited and nervous. it's like a milder feeling when i was waiting for A's results.
there are a few possible outcomes for drivers line-up i can think of:-
-michael and massa. kimi stays in mclaren.
-michael and kimi. massa becomes test driver.
-massa and kimi. michael retires.

i desire to see the 1st outcome happening. the combination of michael and massa is good. in my opinion, michael is like an older brother and massa is like the little brother. one of the best moments i saw on tv is the one michael winning the race and massa finishing 3rd. at the parc ferme, michael carries massa with joy. if i'm not wrong, i think it was massa's first podium then and michael is very happy that he won the race and massa has his maiden podium.

as wat people say, if one like michael is to retire, he should retire at his prime. but i think this year is not his prime. even though i have no idea if next year will be his but with his enthusiasim and fighting spirit, maybe another year isn't much to ask for.
whatever it is, the announcement as wat michael says, "is more of a distraction for you than me". i totally agree. he has reached his own decision last week, according to his manager, willi weber. he knows wat he's going to do while people like me are just wondering and guessing. anyway, as a fan of his, i'm supportive of him regardless wat decision he has made, staying or retiring.

Michael Schumacher is the best F1 driver i've ever seen so far. Forza Schumi!

life.

2006-09-05T22:50:00.000+08:00

fragile life. gone. just like that.
to the old lady, a neighbour of mine who passed away 2 weeks back in her sleep
and to Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter who was killed by a stingray's barb while filming -
RIP.
that is why people say, treasure every moment. even though, the next moment we'll forget about it.
anyway, you'll never know if you'll sleep and never wake up or pass away in the midst of work or something else. you'll never know.
and this is life.

2006-08-31T22:46:00.000+08:00

would u believe if i said the guy singing in the video is gay? but it's real. jai is gay. how do i know that? coz he's part of the fab five from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. jai, kyan, thom, ted and carson. i love the show. 5 gays helping men, making their lives better. it's kinda makeover show and is nice! i love the part when they makeover the house. very nice. but sadly, i have no avenue to watch the show anymore. can't find any episodes on youtube and 8tv has stopped airing it. i'll try to find if i can watch whole episodes online. right now, i can only watch excerpts from the queer eye site, which is quite short and there don't seem to be any new episodes. Queer Eye is such a nice show!

since i'm on reality show, The Amazing Race is back! yay! season 10 and it seems interesting. very diversified teams. and i seen spoilers online saying that TAR10 came to Singapore! the source says that Singapore is the 4th stop? cool? now awaiting to see if ch5 is airing it. US airing it on 17 Sep, in 2 weeks time!

ok, i've got to stop talking about tv, even though i can't live without tv. heh. talk about me! me! me! nothing's new actually except for the new specs my mummy got for me. well, coz my short-sightedness got worse. oops. anyway, it's my first framed specs. not those thick kinds, coz i look awful in them. the thin frame is chocolate? and pale yellow. i think it blends with my skin, coz dingy din realise i was wearing my new specs! haha! need to get used to them, i sort of feel i'm, one, tall, two, i'm going to drop into an imaginary hole the next step i take.

to summarise, queer eye, TAR, prado specs & michael schumacher rocks! hehez.

p.s i find ITV-F1's poll amusing.
"where would michael schumacher end up in 2007?"
"ferrari/renault/switzerland"
i think is ferrari. no way to renault. probably switzerland.

2006-08-23T01:59:00.000+08:00

i received the enrolment notice for TP today. my guess is it's as much preparation work to get into a uni. i have to go for medical checkup, fill up forms, take passport-size photo, photocopy stuff, mail the forms. then sometime before the start of the course, i'll need to sign up for orientation, get my new ezlink card, go for orientation and i'll get my matriculation card, timetable etc then. quite a hassle for me, but strangely, i'm feeling quite excited amongst all this stuff i have to do. =X

maybe i'm not feeling excitement all over me, but i can assure it's most parts of me.

i ran into alex this morning while i was waiting for ruz to go for breakfast (MAC's Big Breakfast!). i told him i was going to TP. and he said, "huh! ur 2 years like wasted?"

um, maybe?

seriously, i know it had been quite foolish of me to stay in jc after 3 mths. i should have gone to poly and i already wanted to do mass comm then, long before i decided on wat subj i want to take in jc. anyway, the "wasted" issue. i wouldn't think it's entirely wasted. sure, i wasted 2 years, but hey! i wasted 6 years on guitar. and if i had went to poly, i wouldn't have known some of the people i know, be besties with them, be friends with them, have fun with them. the 2 years i had wasn't torture. they were fun times. why should i think that those fun times i had are wasteful? so yar, it's not entirely wasted and i can say, i don't regret. maybe i regret not putting a bit more effort so that i'll make my position safer.

anyway, come 23rd oct, it will be a whole new experience - it's going to be the furthest i've travel school-wise - from the west to the east. 3 years of to and fro - 2 hrs of travelling time each weekday. i know at sometime i will get bored, get sick, get irritated. but i have a goal to achieve, a target to attain.

"focus totally and do our best" -schumi

p.s it's racing weekend! yay!

jacques villeneuve is a senseless has-been of F1. i'm glad he's sacked from BMW. he shouldn't have returned to F1 in the first place after he left. since you are sacked, pls keep your mouth shut and stop slamming michael schumacher.

i quote JV about Schumi,

"I think the day he hangs up his helmet people will just forget him,"
are you talking about yourself?

"He thinks he's bigger than the sport, too, but he isn't. And when he retires, and no one really remembers him, that will become clear."
seriously, michael at some point of the time is bigger than the sport. there are people who started watching F1 because they know of michael schumacher and not because of F1. look at the spectators present at the race. how many supporters of schumi do you see? if michael is not bigger than the sport, why would there be so much hype about his decision if he wants to stay on or retire next year? did anyone ask you about your plans for next year? oh! me bad. you didn't know you were going to get sacked!

"I don't even think Michael will live on in people's memories as strong or as long as [Alain] Prost has - certainly not as strong or as long as [Nigel] Mansell has. Those people attained a hero status that Michael never has and never will."
have you forgotten bout people who started watching the sport after prost, mansell retired? you are the one who will never will attain that status, coz you are sacked, even before the 2006 season ended! you got SACKED not retired!

you one-and-only-time-lucky-world-champion-F1-has-been. stay out of F1! BAH!

2006-08-17T17:11:00.000+08:00

2006-08-15T23:50:00.000+08:00

i have returned.
and it has only been 1 mth++. anyway, i decided to blog here again because, if u hadn't notice, of my new blogskin! i spent my whole late afternoon and my evening to do this baby, modifiying some people's blogskin (i can't do from scratch!). but still, i shall proudly announce, this is my 2nd favourite blogskin! the 1st one was a "my sassy girl" html thingy i did few years back for my od.
michael schumacher. ahhh. my idol. =)

well, life has been v v v v v v v v slack for me. i've been sleeping at wee hours, 2am+, 3am+, 4am+ due to wandering online aimlessly, you-tubing, and lately, coughing, especially when i'm going to sleep. those dry tickly coughs are almost causing me to have insomina.

hmm. i going to play some games le. =X slacker me.

world cup

2006-07-02T22:13:00.000+08:00

the world cup fever is gonna end soon.
but i think it's more like EURO 2006 now since brazil lost to france yest.
i was watching a bit of tt match till henry scored tt goal.
coz i was kinda tired and i think brazil will equalise it.
so, with faith in brazil, i happily went to bed at 415am.
to my amazement this afternoon when i woke up, brazil LOST?! ACK!
my sis watched the entire match and boy, she is so sian diao by the result.

me. i'm shocked but i'm cool with it. haha. BRAZIL LOST?! #*(&*(@!#^$&
my love is still with F1, michael schumacher. i hope massa wun be affected by brazil's lost.
he's a brazillian and he's michael's teammate. yup. concentrate on the race! ferrari has gotta win. make it a ferrari 1st-2nd!
Go GERMANY!! coz tt's michael's country!
the next match will be germany vs italy....michael vs ferrari! WHAHHAHAHAHA =.=

going to watch Engine the 2nd time.
in case u are wondering, what's Engine...
it's a japanese drama serial with takuya kimura (he is HALU SATONAKA in Pride) as a racer. yup. RACER! hahaa. it's a bit different with Pride and Good Luck!! coz this time his relationships is not only with his occupation and the female lead...it's oso with other kids. this time, his development with the female lead seems a bit forced. not as sweet as Good Luck!! or Pride. yup. but the kids are adorable! cute!!!! shinta, aoi, nanae, akira.....adorable kids!
all the kids background are kinda pitiful. there's this girl who found her parents and her sister gone after she came back from her vacation. she dunno if her parents and her sister is still dead or alive. shinta whose parents and siblings were killed or sth, and he's the sole survivor. the rest i kinda forgot. yup. but it's a nice, heartwarming drama. but i think the ending is not so good.
still, i like jiroh! hahhahaa...jiroh is takuya's character btw.

UGLY!

2006-06-18T23:45:00.000+08:00

today's papa day. mummy treated us to lunch buffet at some restaurant at omni theatre. while queuing to get into the restaurant, i was put off by this family.

are they stupid or mean? i think both.

people in queue are those who made their reservations. most people who didn't have any left the place as there were ALOT of people in the queue. btw, making reservations ensure that you'll have a table. so it's just a matter of time when you'll get in. and it's a buffet, so the food shouldn't run out very fast.

anyway, as we were nearing the entrance of the restaurant, this family suddenly burst out of nowhere and cuts in front of us. initially, i thought they were with the family in front, then they attempt to cut that family's queue too.

the uncle of that family (UF) in front asked them, "why are you all cutting queue?"

the idiot woman(IW) of the stupid queue cutting family replied, "oh! we are not cutting queue, we just followed the man. he brought us here."

HUH? what man? then she pointed to the waiter, who was keeping the order of the queue. she added saying, "he said to follow him. we just follow lor. we are not cutting queue."

i was like WTH! the waiter then defended himself, saying he didn't ask them to come over. and i believe that he did not ask that freaking family to come over. coz when we arrived at the place, the waiter told us to queue up and pointed at the end of the queue then. so, he wouldn't have ask that stupid family to come over when he told everyone else who made reservations that they are to queue.

how could that stupid family cut queue and pushed all the blame to the waiter? guess what the IW said after that?

"see lah. we shouldn't have come here to eat in the first place."

WTH. i feel like telling her, " why don't you go away then?"

but before i could say anything like tt, UF said, "look, we are not scolding you all for cutting queue. but you see the people behind? they are queueing up. so shouldn't you all queue?"

IW then said, "we queued but the man told us to come over."

ya right.

anyway, UF and his family went into the restaurant then us coz
a) it was our turns.
b) i guess we know we'll be wasting our breath to talk sense into that queue cutting family.
c) we'll be holding up the people at the back.

saw the IW and her family in the restaurant shortly after, so, i don't think they re-queued.

they are so downright disgusting. stupid and mean. cut queue and refused to admit their mistake, pushed the blame to the waiter who i believe is innocent. you made reservations, we did too! how could you cut the queue? the food ain't gonna run away u dumbass. your table is there already, no one is going to sit at your table! moreover, u are no VIP, how can you cut the queue? unless you are some king, queen, president, prime minister, or what-so-ever high ranked/ famous ppl, i MAY let u cut. but u and ur family aren't. you dumbass.

it's your own stupidity that you came over, not the waiter's fault. how could he ask your family to come over when he told everyone else that they are to queue? are u some high ranked/famous persons that deserved to cut queue? NO! so, it's your own stupidity that made you leave your place in the queue (if you were in the 1st place), and not the waiter's fault!

oh yar, you can go to other places to have your lunch! the legs are yours! the restaurant certainly don't need to have such stupid and mean patrons. DUMB ASS.

am really put off by such jerks/creeps/ugly people. HORRIBLE.

2006-06-18T20:05:00.000+08:00

GOOD LUCK!!

it's Good Luck!! ahh...i love this show...heez

fifa

2006-06-11T22:33:00.000+08:00

world cup is here!
don't i sound excited?!
haha. but i'm not really a soccer fan.
i'm a F1 or specifically, a michael schumacher fan.
is it pronounced as the usual michael or it's pronounce as mick-ker?
heard the world cup commentators pronouncing it as mick-ker for michael ballack.
oh my. mick-ker schumacher sounds so... =.=
FYI, michael schumacher's a german like michael ballack.

why am i here writing such crap?
eh. to keep this thingy alive.

just now's silverstone grand prix..
michael came in second
ahh....i hate alonso! gRrrRrr. he's juz lucky. (@*!)*(^$*@&)

ch5 is horrible. 64 matches of world cup...
ch5 showing only 4...4! like *&amp;amp;^$*(&%&@)#!*
and i'm not a soccer fan.
fifa world cup rights very ex?
heng..i still got malaysian channel i can rely on.
i can watch 25 matches...but some are delayed telecasts.
like yest's england vs paraguay match.
i watched it this afternoon, kinda sian tho.
1-0. own goal by paraguay's capt! =.=
well, who asked him to jump so high that his head "accidentally" touched it?
it would have been a nice goal from beckham. 35 yards away. unfortunately, paraguay's capt had to "touch" the ball, hence own goal. sad...sad...sad

suddenly i tot jenson button is good looking again.
jenson button who?
he's a british F1 racer.
he's kinda good looking. but he's super unlucky this season.
haha. sorry for blogging so randomly.
just wanted to keep this blog alive.

i'll end off with a pic of jenson button.

WARNING: F1 RELEVANT RANTS/RAMBLINGS AHEAD

the Monte-Carlo grand prix at Monaco, a star studded event, think is because of Cannes Film Festival or something. Monaco is in Europe, quite near to France most probably (i read it from F1 site that the nearest airport is at Nice, France), so i reckon it's near France. whahaha.

anyway, the Monte-Carlo grand prix is another ground of publicity for movies which therefore makes it kinda a star studded event.

in 2004, there's the Ocean Twelve:

top left: names of ocean twelve cast;top right: brad pitt with jaguar drivers
bottom left: the crashed out car of klien; bottom right: klien getting out of his car after crashing out

part of the publicity, one diamond was put on the each of the Jaguar cars. Klien crashed his car. and so, the diamond flew out of his car and was nowhere to be found. i think the diamond costs millions?

in 2005, it was George Lucas and gang (Star Wars):

top left: Star Wars on the Red Bull Racing car; top right: George Lucas and his Star Wars Cast with RBR drivers
bottom left: Stormtroopers with the mechanics of RBR; bottom right: George Lucas getting into RBR seat

no diamonds this time, this time, mechanics at the pit stop were made to dress like this:

stormtroopers! (is that wat u call them?)

poor mechanics, they were made to dress black under the hot sun..gee.
anyway, apart from the stormtroopers mechanics, i was shocked to see this other person at the grand prix,

paris hilton. shocking!

this year 2006, RBR 'proudly presents'....

SUPERMAN RETURNS!

hahahahaha. i'm wondering how the car might look like...and who's gonna turn up for the grand prix...paris hilton? whahahhaha. and will the mechanics be made to dress like....SUPERMAN?
ewwwwwwwwwww.......

nonetheless, i'm still looking forward to Monaco Grand Prix.

THE PRANCING HORSE SHALL TRIUMPH! GO MICHAEL SCHUMACHER! BREAK SENNA'S RECORD!

memories missed.

2006-05-21T20:49:00.000+08:00

repetition of wat i wrote in some other diary titled: MEMORIES MISSED

---

on our way back from the muahchee hunt, regz and i saw 2 rvians at je. one of them was carrying a box, like he just been laid off. ahh. that brought back memories.
years back, i was like him. haha. we were made to bring home all the books we left under the tables after each sch term. some ppl like regz will plan beforehand, and slowly bring back books in batches. others like me will resort to getting boxes from the photocopy auntie/bookshop auntie and put all our books into them, carrying them home like ppl who have been laid off on the last day.

then regz mentioned bout the one and only sj campfire, which i missed coz i had to leave for ipoh that night. but it was really fun, the 2 days and 1 night i stayed for the camp. the triage. i remember monz and etc acting terrorists, holding the medics as hostages, shouting from the 3rd storey down to the carpark, snatching some1's walkie talkie demanding stupid things, using the rifles borrowed from NCC. it was a funny sight. we were all trying to hold back our laughter and still continue scold the juniors. lol. and there's still the murderer thingy we came up with after the movie. kinda no link, but it was great. the campfire, i didn't join but i did helped. i remember carrying kerosene and soaking the firewood, and doing the contents of the song book. it was the best camp. memorable.

suddenly i miss the pillar outside sj room alot. that big pillar which i used to hug. i can't find another pillar which gives the same feeling as that pillar. missing the places in the school. sj room, the linkway beside sj room, the area behind sj room, the study area, the archives, the carpark, the area in front of the auditorium, the classrooms where we trained, the canteen (guo tie!) and pandan reservoir*..ahh. that place where we ran our 2.4km. (*stretch of pandan reservoir before the green jetty)

ask me to dance now, i think i will go =S. but during my sj life, we danced ALOT, esp sec3. for UG camp, for trs' day celebration, for ROD, for the campfire. ok, i didn't dance for the campfire. but it was a period of 'madness dancing'. i remember after chinese oral, we went to pract dance. we were practising and practising. we must have lost quite a lot of weight back then. haha.

training for 1st aid com days. the 1 hr lunchtime we had. we will rush to jec or walk to the mac at pandan gardens for lunch, sick of canteen food. we ate kinda fast and rushed back sch to continue trainings. it was awesome. the whole training experience. but i think i threw away all my 1st aid knowledge alr. oOps.

i vaguely remember, there was a time, a period of time when i was in sec3 when sjab ppl will go out for movies. not the whole of sjab. but it was a mixture of 3 batches, the sec2, sec3 and the sec4. it was fun. yea. =)

i miss the RV sch building.
the one i studied in for 4 years.
too bad, it's all gone, including the pillar i loved.
but
the memories stays. =)

---

feeling nostalgic. gee. i miss the pillar BADLY. i miss hugging it. dunno why. =X

ages

2006-04-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

today's good friday. public holiday! yay!
it didn't went as good as i thought it will be, but still, it's kinda good!
had a planned good friday actually. =)
from morning to evening, go sentosa with class peeps to tan, play volley and etc.
evening, meet my maternal side family to celebrate my ah ma's bday at harbourfront's dragon gate.

have a feeling i'm going to blabber more bout my family dinner. whahaha.

woke up today feeling pain at my left calf. i think i pulled my left calf muscle while sleeping. endured the pain throughout the day, even now as i type. geez. hope i wun be bai ka tml. i still dunno how i pulled my calf muscle while sleeping!

anyway, sentosa was fun even though it rained like cats and dogs for quite some time. we waited for bee, dingy, kel and nick for 2 hrs+? ok lah. 2hr+. not that we didn't do anything. janice and kx tanned a bit before it started pouring. the 4 of us played a bit of volleyball. janice 'conducted' make-up lesson for kx. i had ice cream (yes, when it's pouring! yum!), kx and xx had cup corn and janice had 100 plus. then we played volley at siloso. haha. fun. i miss playing volleyyyyyyy!!! then we played murderer! whahhaa. i'm a good detective! whahha. *bhb* i still like being gamemaster tho, although i forgot quite a bit of the game alr. oops. then i went to bathe coz i had to leave at 645pm. the rest of them went to catch crabs lah. but oh well, family dinner, time for good food!

my family dinner was to start at 730pm. maybe 8pm. coz they expected my 3rd aunt will be late. #*($&*(%##(@)_@ in the end, we ate at 845pm! #&*(#_(#^#*(*#_ my 3rd aunt family is forever late. FOREVER. (#*$(*^@ idiot. and i heard my aunts and mama saying that they already told them the dinner starts at 630pm. they promised they will come at 630pm lah. WTH! they came after 845pm! my cousin was so paiseh coz everyone was waiting for his dad, mum. i have no idea how i survived that. (coz i only had bread and milk for breakfast. then i had ice cream only. it was until 4plus or so i had tidbits. i had no lunch. maybe ice cream can be considered my lunch. whahaha.) but anyway, my 3rd aunt family is so not punctual!

then the good food. yucks! some of the dishes were lousy. like the chilli crab. zzz. the crabs are so not fresh. some of the meat is so tough. zzz. had a hard time picking them out. then i had another which the meat is 'watery'. and the chilli, is diluted. yucks! it is one of the worst chilli crab i've ever eaten in my life. the vege with abalone. zzz. it is tasteless. my 5th aunt's husband said they forgot to add salt. there's the fish dish, which is my favourite. but it isn't for today. *#&^$*#@! the measly 'tao jio' they put. hello, 'tao jio' not very ex wat! does it kill to put more?! shark fins was so-so. actually, the rest of their dishes was so-so. haiz. am disappointed sia. maybe bcoz there were 2 concurrent wedding dinners goin on. can u imagine the mess the kitchen might be in? but no matter wat, lousy dishes. i rather go boon lay raja! =X

my cousin is pretty lousy i guess. whahhaa. he only had a sip of diluted beer. and his face is as red as a lobster! whahaha. diluted beer mixed by his mum, my 4th aunt. whaha. it's quite diluted, coz i saw my aunt adding alot of water. whahaha. this kind of person sure kanna caught by police if he was to drink then drive. haha.

feeling very tired. but still i want to say....
i love my ah ma. hehez. happy 74th birthday! =)
somehow i miss gong gong. geez.
maybe putting up some of family dinner photos tml. see i lazy anot. whahaha.

an update...

2006-03-25T14:29:00.000+08:00

it has been ages since i last blogged eh. i'm just living every single day going through the 'same routine'. wake up. work. home. online. sleep. basically my routine is like that. a bit lifeless.
anyway, modified my routine a bit on wed. it was wake up. work. meet ruz. home. online sleep. whahahhaha.
meeting ruz..we said to do that since million years ago and it was only till wednesday that we finally we met up.

do you know how long we both haven't meet? 2 years!!! 2 years!!!! fascinating eh? i haven't see my buddy in flesh and blood for 2 years!!!! well, we do send each other occasional sms-es. wahahahhaa. and it's really occasional, very very very few. need to improve on that. hehez.

anyway, met up with ruz on wed after work. we had dinner at jec. ahh..been months since i last went there. changed a bit i must say. very different from the jec i remembered durin my sec sch days. oh yar! we were having extremely bad luck with machines on tt day. we hanged the S.A.M machine. LOL! (i checked the nxt day, the machine was back to normal). then we tried out some photo printing machine at jec. i thought the machine was cool. infra or bluetooth photos from ur hp and then pay money and poof! here are the photos! pity that the photos didn't come out from the machine. no more printer ribbon. ruz 'wasted' her $1.50. baaahh. if it worked, it would be so nice. cheaper than neoprints yar! (i checked the nxt day, still no photos from the machine) ahhh...sad.

we went to ntuc to shop around. wahahaha. sound like some aunties right?! no lah. we went to get tidbits and ruz got some cookie mixture. ruz! dun forget the ONE cookie u promised! eh! forgot to tell u how big i want my cookie...ard CD size! ok?! wahahahhaha.

talked for a while before we headed home. ahhh...there are still so much to talk about. we can talk about 2 years of things...you know..hehez. let's meet up again soon. maybe we get nefuis, liujun, huiyun....ahhh...i haven't seen them in 2 years too! so loser!!!! anyway, let's just MEET UP again! i miss my sec sch friends loads/tons!!!!

see some of the photos taken wed from the drop down under "jing@blogspot". hehez
