Less than a month before I fly. Am so excited I'm going to be in the States for near half a year! I know it's going to be awesome.

I've been so busy recently with school, squeezing time to work out and left with almost no time for my friends, except for the occasional short meetups. Not to mention, I'm still in the midst of preparing for my stay in US. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

2.5 months left before I fly

Going to US is a good opportunity for me to take awesome photos. Good thing I have my Nikon P500 ready but sadly, it's only a semi-pro. I want a Canon DSLR badly but it's so expensive I'll have to put the idea on hold. Whoever gets a Canon DSLR for me, I'll love you forever! HAHA, i know no one's gonna do that.

Anyway, I'll really be missing all the lovely and awesome friends here in Singapore.

Definitely will be friends-sick.

I'll miss the crazy friends whom I love so much.

I'll miss the food in Singapore.

I'll miss the lovely friends at H.om.

Yeah, I know I'm not going forever. But it's long enough to make me feel horrible that I won't be able to see the familiar faces for a good 5 months.

You know, I'm really glad I made the decision to start hot yoga this year. Everything feels so much better. Things that seemingly cannot be solved earlier seems more possible now. I feel healthier and my mind's much clearer now. It seems like I am now able to control my frustration towards things much better, especially that towards my parents, who are rather not understanding and such most of the time, mainly because of their conservative thinking.

Well, of course I must also thank my close friends who have been standing strong with me, especially the past year when I was 21. Today's my birthday and sort of marks something different. Yes, I am still me, as jovious as I were and as emotional as I were before, but I can understand many things better now. My year as a 21 year old was indeed tough to say the least, but I'm so so thankful there were the few of you who despite all the crap I complained to you guys about, and all the unreasonable demands made by my parents regarding certain issues...you guys were the ones who stood by me and never even complained about that. Really very very touched. Love you guys for what you are because you loved me for what I am.

Life is fragile

Although this happened last year, I still can't really believe it.
I haven't really had time to stop and think about this. Well, I knew a schoolmate from my secondary school days. We have never been in the same class, nor were we good friends. We merely knew the existence of one another. I remember not exactly having a good impression of her lifestyle. From sec school days, as I heard from her classmates, she was always drinking and wearing skimpy clothes at bars when she was still considered underaged.

After graduation, I haven't seen her ever since. I found out 1-2 years later that she got pregnant. She was a single mother, but I believe she played her part while she was still around. Just last year, I heard news from friends that she just ended her life. Just like that.

I really have no idea what exactly happened, but I feel so sad for her. Even though we were mere acquaintances... Seeing her post her and her daughter's photo on facebook just a day before it happened, I just felt that life is so unexpected. I suppose the stress must have been too much for her to bear.

Rest in Peace. Hope everything's well for you wherever you are now.

The year's coming to an end. Year 2010 has been good to me in many ways and bad in some ways.

As my closest friends would know, 2009 was a rather unpleasant year for me though good things/opportunities happened too. But anyway, using unpleasant is really an understatement. Grandmother passed away that year. Emotions were fully filled to the brim. Nothing could ever make me forget.

2010 brought me some new beginnings. Some special people stepped into my life, with some other old friends staying close to me. Though I'm still as emotional as can be, I'm so thankful that these few groups of people stood by me.

My dear UOL friends. YQ, WL, PY, ALI, MJ, MY, YJ. Glad that I got to know you girls since my UOL times. Though I've changed my degree to one from UB, I'm still keeping in contact with this group of girlies! They're damn fun to be with! If any of you happen to be reading my blog, thanks for not forgetting me although I switched uni. And also thanks for tolerating all my nonsense! HAHA, I must admit I'm really crazy and had a lot of fun times with u all this year! Love you girls so much!! :)

Another group of friends which I got to know last yr, but only start meeting this yr. This group of friends really brought me much much laughter and tears literally. Glad that you all stepped into my life and accompanied my through my 21st year on earth! CK, PQ, MY, YR, D. Though out of my groups of close friends, you all know me for the shortest period of time, you all saw the most of me. My crazy laughter, my emotional moments, my complaints of parents' naggings and hopelessness, my really unglam and weak side. Haha, I'll not go into details here since it's just exclusive to us and I don't want others to know anyway. I really don't know how u guys tolerate all these and still show me so much understanding. As I type this, all the flashbacks go through my mind and I can't help but cry. Damn touched by you people. I really don't know how to thank you guys enough for everything. Love you all so much!

And of course, I wouldn't forget my good friends from sec sch and 1 from pri sch. MX, MX, YL, HM, SY, QY. haha. Love you people too. We really meet up too little, but u know, whenever we meet, it's like we've not separated from each other, talking about all sorts of things. And I realize we're all in different schools now! See how special it is? No awkwardness though we don't meet up often!

Hope Year 2011 will bring me much much more happy and memorable times. I strongly believe it will.

Happy Boxing Day everyone!

I attended the gala premiere for "The Ghosts Must Be Crazy" the other day and I must really say I enjoyed the film quite a bit! HOR-MEDY is indeed used aptly!
If you haven't been able to catch the sneek previews for the past 2 nights, do hurry down to the cinemas to catch it tonight! You'll definitely be laughing your lungs out!
Show your support to the crew who worked day and night for the film! :)

2010-12-20T14:05:00.002+08:00

I can't wait to watch this! The Ghosts Must Be Crazy! And especially so because Boris directed one of the stories in there and Dennis acted in that too!
So excited!!

Tsk. Some people are unthinkable.

I have this acquaintance from primary school. We were in the same CCA. She was rather aloof and cold when I tried to be friendly and nice to her then. After so many years of not seeing one another, she tried to add me as friend on facebook. If you chose not to be my friend then, what makes you think I will choose to be your friend now? And what gives you the right to want to snoop around my life now since you gave me the disgustingly black face and childishly bad attitude then?

I have my own life, and luckily, away from yours. And I have my own circle of friends whom I cherish with all my heart. So please, shoo! Don't come snooping into my life. Thanks.

HARRY POTTER!

You know, I used to not be a great fan of Harry Potter but now I think otherwise. Honestly, I've only watched The Chamber of Secrets and The Deathly Hallows P1 so far. But now I want to watch all of it!

You must be thinking what prodded me into this decision. Well, it's because of my favourite character in harry potter! Most would name Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Dumbledore or even Lord Voldermort.

But, my personal favourite is Dobby, the house elf! Love him to bits! He's so cute and loyal!

After watching The Deathly Hallows Part 1, I felt so emotional when I saw him die. Yes, I didn't read the book so I did not see it coming. Ok, but i did remember seeing my friends tweet about it. My tears just flowed uncontrollably. If there were any house elves in real life, I really wouldn't mind having Dobby as my friend. It's disgusting how the evil forces use their power with much stupidity and harming creatures which mean no harm to them in the series.

“Dobby didn’t mean to kill anyone. Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure.”

On a side note, I even dreamt of Dobby. Really love love love that cute little creature! It's horrible he died in part 1. urgh!

Yesterday's Star Search Semi-finals was filled with laughter! In my opinion, it's all thanks to 3 artistes in particular, who spiced up the whole competition! I feel that it's these 3 who really helped some of the contestants show their potential because of the humor they brought to the audience.

Of course, a few of the contestants were really not bad!

There's Michelle Chong!

There's Pat Mok!

And of course, my favourite, Aunty Lucy!

I'm really really so proud of "her"!
Seeing how Aunty Lucy first appeared in Paris and Milan on Ch8, to now, it just makes me so happy to see how popular "she" is now and to hear so many people cheer for "her" now, it warms my heart.

Chong Qing, you're the best! No matter what(aunty or no aunty :P), no matter when, there'll always be the few of us behind you quietly(ok, sometimes loudly :P) cheering you on and supporting you through happy and tough times. LOVE YOU!

I have no idea why I don't seem to have time to blog. And that I've been busy. Schoolwork, loads of it. But the strange thing is I seem to be busier now that I'm taking 3 modules than when I was taking 6 modules and busy with outside stuff also. Really strange.

Anyway, will be looking forward to the holidays. Hope by then I'll stash up enough secret money away from my mum's sight to buy some stuff. lol. hehee.

Will update again soon with more interesting posts once this gruelling sem comes to an end!

I've been trying quite a lot of products over the past few years and not too long ago, I decided to try Spa Botanica's products. One of their facial products which I like would be their balance toner. I used to have only very rare pimples when I was in my secondary school days. However, in my junior college days and after, I experienced pimples quite often. Of course, stress is one of the partial reasons for it. But I think the more important thing was the facial products used. Other than cleansing, I realized that it's important to use toner and moisturizers. This particular toner from Spa Botanica totally suit my skin type and I would definitely encourage those of you who have oily T-zone and normal skin to use it too.

Honestly, I like the staff from Spa Botanica too. Their service is in tip-top condition. Anyway, you all can get the Spa Botanica products from the spa itself at Sentosa.
I suppose the only trouble would be travelling over to Sentosa to buy those stuff. Haha. But I really think it's worth it.

一边看着韩剧，一边想着自己的生命。其实，我觉得这一年来所做的决定，给自己带来了好多幸福。唯一让我觉得稀罕的就是外婆不在身边和我见证这一切。但我相信虽然她不在人世，却依然默默地看守着我，给我勇气做出这一些决定吧。虽然生命里难免有些波折，但也让我更珍惜当中的一些小小的幸福。
就在生命最脆弱的时候和你们相遇。这让我深深地相信你所说的缘分。真奇妙的缘分。我爱你和你。:)
在你们面前，我就是我，根本不用去刻意隐藏什么，好像也只有你们看过我超级unglam的时刻。哈哈。
就算自己有多疯狂，你们会和我一起疯狂。
就算我不开心或压力等等，你们就是有办法让我笑得像个神经病。
我就是这么感性，这么可笑，所以才会想出这些，还死死要写在这里。
在网上我还是别写太多，也不便说出名字，我看这样就够了吧。
在一部电影中听到的一句话，让我得到好多感触。“没了，才知道什么叫没了。”
而我今天要改一改这句话。“拥有，才真正知道什么叫拥有。”
爱。

Recently I've been reading many things online and I realize problem that is becoming rather obvious. Other than singlish posts from friends, be it on facebook, twitter, blogs, etc, which I think is perfectly fine, I found a rather startling problem among Singaporeans. That is, proper english spelling. In fact, the government has been constantly emphasizing on proper use of english, be it verbal or written.

Being a communications major, I feel rather strongly about this issue. I suppose the government can't really do much to alleviate this problem among adults. I feel that this relates to self-improvement. Companies should send employees who are weak in english for english courses so that they are able to improve themselves and at the same time, bring benefits to the company itself. Another option would be for individuals to refer to dictionaries when they are unsure about a certain spelling or how to structure their sentences properly. Being nonchalant towards english merely shows your incompetency in the language and in return, towards successful communication, which also means you simply don't care.

On saturday, 2nd October 2010, one day many Singaporeans would remember for the many many years to come. I received my biggest shock of the year, roughly a little more than a year after I was badly hit by my grandma's passing. This time, it's Madam Kwa Geok Choo's( Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's wife) passing. In fact, it was in the MRT when I received the news officially. At that moment, I felt everything around me blur and I would say I was in quite a state of shock. Almost burst out into tears but I held back a little, just tearing, because I was on public transport.

I felt a sense of loss. You might think, "Hey, she's not related to you in blood, why do you care so much?" "Why are you so affected? She's not even your grandmother." and many other statements I overheard people say. My most vivid memory of Mdm Kwa was during the Sentosa Flowers in 2008. Then, I was working as an event host at Sentosa during the annual Lunar New Year floral displays. One of the days, which was my most memorable, MM Lee and Mrs Lee came to visit. Accompanied by many bodyguards, they toured the whole exhibition. When they passed my exhibit, both Mr and Mrs Lee smiled at me. And I particularly remember the warm smile of Mrs Lee, one of much sincerity and zest even though she had to go around in a wheelchair.

To me, she's one of my most respected and loved female figures in the political arena. Although not directly involved in politics itself, she's been playing an important role since Singapore's tough times in the past. If not for her, I would dare say that women in Singapore may not be as equalized to men as they are now. What would it be like if she didn't agree to doing the broadcast that time? What if she wasn't by MM Lee's side, showing undying love and support throughout the years? Would Singapore be the same? I would say a definite no. I do not mean that MM Lee wouldn't be as competent. I strongly believe that MM Lee is by far the most competent political figure in Singapore and has been a crucial figure in building Singapore up from ruins after the dreaded war. However, at the same time, I believe that it is Mrs Lee who played an "invisible" role, away from the public in her little actions, working side by side, helping MM Lee. Me, being one who is a strong believer of equality of males and females, is inspired by Mrs Lee.

Not forgetting, for many years now, I've always thought of Mr and Mrs Lee as one of the best couples ever. They're really a role model couple, one whose longlasting love, wit and humor really captivates me.

Today, while I was at the Istana, I had to hold back my tears strongly. Didn't want to break down so badly, especially when so many reporters were there. I managed to get a short glance of her from a short distance away from the coffin. Bowed in respect and love for Singapore's mother. Mrs Lee, we will always love you and you, will always remain in our hearts.

Later in the night, as Channel NewsAsia reported about MM Lee at the Istana, as they showed the video of him looking on with immeasurable sadness at the photo and the coffin, I totally broke down. Tears just flowed uncontrollably. It was so heartwrenching. :(
My dear MM, do hang in there! Remember, you have our support and love no matter what.

Recently I read one of my friends' blog. Goodness gracious, japan is quite nice! Stole 2 photos from her blog, hope she doesn't mind me posting them on my blog. hahaha so must give credit.

Photo Credits: Jayne

Streets of Japan. Ain't the streets pretty at night? I suppose night shopping would be nice, probably like what I experienced in Korea years ago, but of course a more expensive version of that.

Temples in japan. The architecture is so well-designed! I really want to go there to visit the temples.

I saw this in one of the chain emails my friend passed along and she forwarded it because what's said in it really is very true! I agree with it!
And it's especially meaningful.

"Work as if it was your first day.
Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries.
Laugh without control
and never stop smiling."

Don't you think this is so meaningful? And something I personally subscribe to too. No matter how tough life is, there are definitely moments of happiness. It may even be as short as a few minutes or seconds, maybe a hug or smile from someone you love, it's something that will be etched in our memory for a lifetime.

Another issue I would like to bring up would be health. Everyone, please do go for regular health checks. You'll never know when any disease or illness will hit and early detection is always better. If you have the time, do read this story. It's a personal story written by one of the 987FM DJs, Desiree Lai.

The C Word

Think about this for a moment.What is the first ‘C’ word that comes to mind? Could it be the usual; cash, career, condo, car and credit card? Ok that’s two words. Naughtier C words perhaps?

But I’m willing to bet that this one particular C word that did a Kramer and barged into that head of yours was not the word Cyst. When you’re still in your 20s, that’s probably the last word you’ll think about. At the age of 28, I had to go under the knife twice for ovarian cysts removal. I hated it and seriously do not want anyone to go through what I went through… due to ignorance.

I was first hit in 2004 at the age of 22. I didn’t think anything was wrong with me because, heck, I was only in my early 20s. But alarm bells started ringing when I experienced this acute pain in my lower abdomen. The pain was coming from my bladder (not U.T.I) or probably the organs surrounding that area and it felt like someone drove a sharp knife into my tummy. It was unbelievably painful! I tried not to think much of it but the pain kept coming back. In the end it got so bad that it couldn’t be ignored anymore. I made a trip to my family doctor the next day and boy, my GP’s expression almost gave me a panic attack. He felt a huge lump and told me to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

After enduring 5 hours in the freezing cold A&E section of SGH, not forgetting having to shuttle back and forth between different rooms to consult numerous doctors of various specialties, they finally discovered that I had a huge lump in my right ovary. How huge? Roughly 8 cm in diameter and that is the average size of an orange. Eeek! Doctors explained that this ovarian cyst had to be removed as soon as possible due to its size. This “thing” was big and for it to be so large at the age of 22, it meant that this thing was growing inside of me since I was a young teenager. The doctors told me it might be “moving” slowly, twisting my ovary, and that’s what is causing the pain. If it weren’t for the sudden “stab”, it would have probably remained undetected.

At this point, my brain started to swell with questions. Was my ovary salvageable? Will they have to remove it; decreasing my chances of having a baby in the future by 50%? Worse still, was it benign or malignant? Will this alien ball kill me? That week before the surgery was probably the scariest, most tortuous point of my life. I wished I had been admitted there and then after the discovery of the cyst so I wouldn’t have the time to dwell on the unknown.

Now let’s fast forward to the day of the surgery. Naked on the table. Freezing. Terrified. One of the nurses prepared the intravenous drip needle on my left hand. Damn that thing hurts. Not to mention the anesthesia they inject just minutes before they cut you open was an experience I could do without. Once injected into the bloodstream, you can actually feel this burning sensation travel up your arm and into the rest of your body. Soon after, your insides feel heavy and then, lights out. Tip: Don’t watch movies like Awake starring Hayden Christensen before any surgery.

The doctors managed to remove that “orange” from my ovary, which I had named Simon for fun. But here’s the shocker. They found a twin; another cyst that was also in my right ovary and this one was freaking huge! If memory serves me correctly, it was 12 cm in diameter so that would make it the size of a grapefruit. There are many types of ovarian cysts and these were dermoid cysts; cysts that according to Wikipedia, contains developmentally mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue. Nasty, nasty, nasty stuff! Thankfully, the test results came back good. They were benign and even though the two cysts added together were the size of a young foetus, my ovary was saved.

This whole cyst removal incident was a massive scare and as fate would have it, I had to go through it again 6 years later. But here’s the difference: early detection. Thanks to regular visits to the gynae, we found 2 more cysts in their infant stages. Pun intended. They were both 3cm wide and this time, they conducted keyhole surgery rather than open surgery, which meant that recovery time was shaved by half!

Here’s the thing that many don’t know. Every woman after puberty gets them. Ovarian cysts are extremely common and even when benign; these abnormal growths can cause other health problems like infection and infertility. You can get these cysts as young as 14. So it doesn’t matter how many wrinkles you have on you face or how many A’s you got in last week’s term test; things can take a turn at any point in your life. I cannot stress enough the importance of regular check ups because with early detection, it could minimize the hassle, stress, discomfort and not to mention, save your life.

To all nurses, doctors and other medical staff especially those from SGH and KK hospital… Thank you.

Just jotted down deadlines for my Fall 2010 semester. Oh man, I'm going to be super busy within a week or two. Scary. No more time to do so many stuff I like :(

I miss my dearies and darlings.

Can't wait for december to be here.

2010-09-04T15:22:00.003+08:00

Oh and I almost forgot! BAPE(Bathing Ape)! It's so awesome I got 2 of their T-shirts! I'm so tempted to get 1 of their sanrio collections shirt and another baby milo one. And bag too! But it's super expensive!

Anyway, here's the 2 designs I got! It's so cute isn't it? :)

I wonder when I'll ever earn enough money to satisfy my temptations.

I want my bags and clothes and food! And not forgetting, I'll need time to visit the gym and spa, go for ballet classes and pilate classes, and go overseas with my friends. Hope I do get the job I very much wanted for a long time when i graduate end of next year! :) I'm like looking so far ahead already! gosh! hahaha :)

2010-09-04T14:39:00.002+08:00

Mooncakes Galore!

I've been rather hooked on to mooncakes recently now that Mid-Autmn Festival is coming! Believe it or not, these are the mooncakes I've bought so far! I know it's a lot but I can't help it.

Mooncakes from Royal China at Raffles Hotel Singapore

Mooncakes from Ritz Carlton Hotel Singapore

Mooncakes from Holiday Inn Singapore

Mooncakes from Peony Jade Restaurant

Mid-autumn's rather awesome with mooncakes everywhere.

2010-08-20T00:55:00.004+08:00

Some stuff that has been happening in my life. I'll let the photos do the talking :)

Me in Koops from Hide and Seek. Not clear in this photo though. And by the way, the background's Istana :)

Went to watch the Youth Olympic Games fencing the other day! But photos are still in my camera. I'll upload a few soon! :) They're awesome!

2010-08-12T22:38:00.002+08:00

I'm so excited for the Singapore Youth Olympic Games! :) It's such a rare chance for Singapore! I remember the day of the results bidding. I remember standing at the padang area with my juniors, watching the live telecast of the results being read out. The moment Singapore was read out, I felt my tears roll down my cheeks. It's an unexplainable feeling.

Now that it's finally here, the long awaited games, I must at least go watch a match no matter how broke I am now! haha woohoo! I feel the excitement! I want to watch gymnastics and equestarian! :D

2010-08-01T00:00:00.002+08:00

Read one of my friend's blog.
Totally agree with what he said. You don't need to say you're famous if you really are. Some people should really take a look at themselves before they make insensitive comments about others. There's definitely nothing wrong with having more _____. It totally depends on the business strategy whether to have more or less.
-.- Just found out about it though it was posted a month ago(haha!). And please, the same thing was said last year or the year before. I really wonder why some people keep harping on the same silly thing. tsk tsk.
Hate it when people compare like that cos there's nothing much to compare about. Like I said, it depends on individual strategy.
Just a little angsty after reading it.

2010-07-27T22:24:00.001+08:00

Am stressed. Gosh. Project deadlines, presentations, finals.
My dear blog, I'll see you after finals :) haha lol...

2010-07-27T01:05:00.002+08:00

Why do people not keep to deadlines? I'm not pissed but just don't like last minute work like that. Tsk.
I'm worried la. Hope the paper turns out good despite the last minute work from the group :)

2010-06-18T22:23:00.002+08:00

Have been sleeping quite late recently. Assignment...not that many but I just take quite long to complete. Don't know how busy summer 2 will be. Hope it won't be that crazy.

Have been eating and eating without exercising recently too. I need to stretch, dance, etc.... Feel like joining the fitness club at taka as recommended by my friend who told me and my other friend that there's an indoor pool there. But it's far too expensive for us. sighs.

Life has been rather fulfilling for me this year. Hanging out with my friends for awesome dinners and talking till late in the night. Even though I still miss my late grandmother like crazy, I suppose life isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Don't worry, I know how to cope with the grief positively. And I'm really glad that I have friends who understand me.

There's something I've been trying to do but to not much avail actually. I need to save money. And yes, this time I really really need to save money for something important. Not going to spend for GSS this time round. It's amazing that I'm saying this don't you think? haha.

2010-06-08T21:55:00.002+08:00

So many things happening in my life recently. And it made me think and reflect quite a bit.
Haven't been to facial for 3 months already and so, since I have some time on hands today and I want to relax a little before actually mugging for my quiz, I decided to head down for my facial. While doing the facial, many thoughts went through my mind. Although I've already been thinking quite a bit recently, but the relaxing environment allowed me to think through things more clearly, although only for a short 1 hour. I think I need to find time to head down to the spa at sentosa. I need time by myself to think through some things in a nice and relaxing place.

Anyway, I'm really grateful for some nice things which happened to me this year. Albeit the sadness and grieve I've been through for the past year, I feel so fortunate to have a group of friends just being there bringing a smile to my face although they didn't do anything physically or literally. Not sure if you know what I mean here.

I'm also glad I have some friends in school whom I can spout rubbish to and tell secrets to also. Thanks.

After much thinking, I know what really means a lot to me. I will never let go of them even if it means losing everything else. I know it's worth it. Sometimes, little is in fact, more.

2010-06-07T12:47:00.002+08:00

So many things I want to do. And so many cravings. But not enough time to do. I need 72 hours in a day!!

Okay here's a list of things I wanna do:
1) Go overseas (Korea, Australia, Santorini, Krabi, Japan, Maldives, Paris) (esp with my darlings[you prob wouldn't know who are those I'm referring to..haha])
2) Relax at resort and spa
3) Facials, manicures, pedicures
4) Meet up with my few darlings every week
5) This one is maybe a bit weird to you...but... go graveyard to pray to my grandma every week :( i miss her so much
6) Hurry graduate and get my butt into my intended industry
7) Get a dog and another bird

Many more things I want to do. These are just a few.

I've been thinking quite a lot recently. Maybe it's the free time that I have that made me think.
After reading a particular article today, I started thinking again. I'm not sure if you would know what I'm talking about below but I feel that I need to blog about it.

Once again, I thought of my late grandmother and people around me. Sometimes, i may appear non-chalant but I do appreciate the love showered upon me by every single one of my friends.

I'm really really glad and I feel so fortunate that I got to know more friends recently. Though I've not known them for a whole 21 years of my life, I've known them for around 6 months to a year i suppose. Although it seems like such a short span of time, I feel that a particular few of them have become one of the bestest friends I've ever had. Whenever I'm with them, I feel the sincerity and genuine friendship. Maybe it's my grandmother's death that make me learn how to appreciate life more. I really cherish every moment I spend with you all and I really hope it'll last for a lifetime. I believe they've seen more sillyness and craziness on my part more than what I've shown to any others.

I agree that it's really 缘分...... :) Thanks for everything.

I know I've not been really blogging often.

Finally it's the holidays. And I'm still so busy with so many things, but of course I'm willing to do all these stuff.

Just wanna say I'm quite contented with my life now. It's so fortunate I got to know some friends. I feel so loved by them :) Well, I'll share some photos. Just a little update of what I did recently though there's more that I did. Haha!

Star Awards.

With chongqing :)

With peiqi :)

Went to Johor Bahru with my friends too :) opening of Heng Heng Wanton Noodles

Okay, that's all for now. I'm a little lazy to update on everything.

2010-03-11T21:22:00.002+08:00

The most recent news here in Singapore regarding Jack Neo's case of extra marital affairs. Of course, Jack is in the wrong, but I feel that we should not judge him, especially during such trying times for both him and his wife. Almost 11 females have stepped out to point fingers at Jack. However, what I want to ask is how many of them are telling the truth? Does being asked out for dinner constitute an extra marital affair or that there are ill intentions?

Since Jack has apologised for his mistake and even held a press conference today, albeit a short one, I strongly feel that everyone else should cut him some slack. Even his wife has forgiven him so who has the right to continue criticizing him and causing a whole load of unhappiness for him and his friends and acquaintances?

That said, I hope both Jack and his wife cope well...especially his wife who fainted today during the press conference.

2010-02-17T23:00:00.006+08:00

I realise my blog becoming stagnant. And worse still, all my blog posts are filled with words and no photos. gosh, becoming so darn boring.

the first time I went to his event as part of aunty lucy fan club. haha but only me and peiqi went. More of us went during the cny countdown. I'll upload more photos soon!

Cq, I love you! :)

Anyway, just to drop a note, the Singapore Radio Awards are coming!

Today's the second day of the CNY. It's the TIGER year!
Well, the Ox year ended off well with me going to the tiger beer sponsored event at JP. It was the promotion of the radio drama done by 93.3, 95.8 and 97.2! Xiao Hu De Mei Wei Shen Ling!
I was really happy although there was not eactly a large crowd there. Met up with jingyun who was hosting that event and after not seeing her for so long alr ever since I left mediacorp. And junxing too. Hahah junxing recorded my voice down for a short interview for the event and I did hear it on 95.8fm. haha. Then of course, I went down to that event together with peiqi to support our dearest chongqing! He was sick that time so we bought honey lemon for him :) Really enjoyed the time.

Then the start of the tiger year saw me heading down to jurong point for the CNY countdown to meet my fellow aunty lucy fan club friends so that we could support Aunty Lucy aka chongqing! :) Counted down to the tiger year with him and the other djs. And there was choo mi mi there too! hahaa. By the way, this is my first time at a countdown! Wahh, virgin experience given to cq and my fellow alfcians!
Haha. He was damn cute, singing tian mi mi there. Then we took a photo with him before he left. And after that we took photo with peifen and I took another with andy whom I haven't seen for a long time also. Yay! Overall, to sum it up, it was just DAMN AWESOME! :D

Yesterday's the first day of the tiger year. HAPPY TIGER YEAR EVERYONE! I love you all!
I headed down to the marina bay area to take a look at the river hongbao exhibition. Oh my gosh I tell you, it was freaking hot! Burning hot in fact! I was like using tissue after tissue!

Today I'm finally going to my grandma's house. BUT this is my first cny without my grandma. The whole feeling is just weird and I don't know. I just feel so empty inside and just like something important is missing.
Ah ma, I love you and I miss you. I would give up anything just to see you again. Sorry that I'm so emo during cny.

2010-01-30T09:34:00.002+08:00

I'm sick. But luckily I won't be moody and all when I'm sick. I still prance around like nobody's business. Haha.
Sorry, I realised I haven't been updating this space and probably a couple of you have been visiting my blog once in a while. I've been really busy with schoolwork. Loads of readings to keep up with and I must say I'm trying to finish it all religiously as much as possible. Really can't wait for this sem to be over although I must say I love most of my lecturers. :)

Anyway, my birthday is coming in a months' time. 8th march! Haha Actually, I can't wait! Although I think I'll be emotional that my grandma is no longer around to celebrate it with me. Oh man, I should have just celebrated my 20th birthday last year. :(:( Sorry that I'm getting so emotional as always, but I really can't help it!

And yay! I finally found out where pat jie does her beautiful nails! I finally asked her! :)
Damn excited. Maybe I should do it after my exams are over? Or christmas time maybe? :D
Pretty nails I love!

2010-01-11T22:44:00.002+08:00

Today's the first day of school for the spring semester! Quite excited for the semester to begin although I've been really enjoying the holidays.

Since yesterday was the last day of my holidays before spring sem comes, I decided to give myself a little treat. Guess what? I decided to pay the spa a visit. I went to Spa Botanica at Sentosa and chose to just do the spa gardens instead of taking the other treatments. It was definitely a relaxing and well deserved treat for me just before the next school term starts. They had the mudpool, float pool, swimming pool and both cold and hot jacuzzi. Although it was a sunday yesterday and I had expected more people to be at the spa gardens, it was surprisingly quiet because those who went either were undergoing treatment or were at a different part from me, which of course is a good thing because I get to do each part alone and that made it seem like my own private spa. Super cool. If only I own it, then I wouldn't have to pay whenever I go. But yea, it was really like a private spa and I had the mudpool, float pool(with waterfall) and the jacuzzi to myself. There was also treatment body foam, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, face treatments and all. I love it very much!
If you guys want a nice quiet spa experience, do try out spa botanica at sentosa.

Anyway, school just started today and it was quite a happy one. Although I was still a little in the holiday mode, which I'm sure I'll get out off within a couple of days, it wasn't as tiring as I thought it may have been.
I shall work hard toward my goals this semester!

2010-01-07T23:02:00.001+08:00

So far, 2010 has been rather good I would say. Life has been reasonably good except for the fact that it feels empty and sucky without my grandma.
And my holidays are coming to an end soon because my next semester starts next monday.

I've been enjoying my holidays very much.
Resorts Sentosa is beckoning me tomorrow. I'm thinking of visiting the hotel there to have a look before my semester starts next week. I hope I don't spend too much money tomorrow. hmm, the spa photos on the website look really tempting and relaxing.

Oh no, I realised I accidentally deleted photos from my camera, so it means that I've lost a few photos which I haven't saved in my external hard disk. Luckily most of the photos are already saved.

Met up with szeyin the other day for buffet lunch at Kushinbo. The food there was really good! And then after that, we made our way to the bird shop at Serangoon North and shopping at orchard. :):)

2010-01-03T16:05:00.002+08:00

Gladly, I attended the RV BIG WALK together with Ming Xi. Yi Li couldn't wake up in time and so, gave it a miss. It was great yesterday! Made friends with another alumni who is much older than I am.

I think it's really nice to be part of the alumni. It gives me the warm feeling when I see everyone come together. And of course it was great to see some of the teachers whom I haven't seen for quite a long time, especially Mrs Jasmine Chua, Mrs Kan, Mr Tan Kim Chuan, Ms Lee Choi Yeok and some others.

I was really delighted to see so many of the alumni to be back and participating in the rv big walk! It's heartwarming to see that everyone has not forgotten about our beloved alma matar. I love RV!

The boon lay campus is really huge. Hey! Our donations are in it! Hahaha!

The facilities are really really good! Look at the computers, the library, the courts, the track, the hostel, the hall, the classrooms and so on!
We were treated to polar breakfast before our walk and it's not cheapo ok! It consisted of chicken pie, custard puff and sugar roll. Then there was also a goodie bag. But I didn't manage to get the other goodie bag.

Anyway, I have exactly one week of holidays left before the next semester aka Spring semester starts! This week I have some plans in mind already! Kushinbo lunch, window shopping, zoo, bodyworlds. I hope I do it all. It spells quite some money being spent. OHNO! I'll see how la, maybe bodyworlds should be out of my plans. It's more expensive than going to the zoo.

Today, however, is a little boring. It's once again a boring sunday. My gosh, why are my sundays like that??? I need to do more interesting things on sunday instead of doing practically nothing. Okay, not nothing. I'm reading a book right now.

Hope this year will be an awesome one! :)

2010-01-01T11:40:00.001+08:00

It's the first day of the new year! Happy 2010 everyone! Hope all of us will have an awesome year ahead!

2009-12-30T23:47:00.003+08:00

I've been enjoying my shortlived holidays quite a lot. However, not working this holidays make me feel a little empty inside. I'm such a workaholic.

Ever since the start of the holidays, I've been shopping, meeting up with my friends and going to places which I've not been for quite some time. Shopping with my cousins and christmas celebrations have been really fun!

Finally, I visited the birdpark again yesterday! :):) Visiting my old friends(the birds) at the birdpark is just lovely. The feeling is just so nice. I had lories jumping on me at lory loft and parrots licking me at parrot paradise. I really really love the iris lorikeets, cockatoos(sulphur crested, blue eyed, moruccan), sun conures(hey, that's the breed of my pet bird too!) and red faced eclectus parrots. And there was this cute couple, they followed suit when they saw me letting the iris lorikeets lick my fingers. haha!
And the pair blue eyed cockatoos that came to the front of the cage to play with me are so so so loving! They were caressing one another! :)

Thinking if I should visit the zoo and bodyworlds next week!

I'll update some news related stuff on my other blog. You can go read once I update.

Today's christmas eve! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
Christmas spells the end of the year. As the year draws to an end, I can't help but think of everything that has happened in the year. Hopefully you friends out there had an awesome year!

So much happened in the year for me. Both happy and sad. Earlier in the year, I remember myself and my UOL friends being extremely stressed from the UOL exams. To yanqi, peiying, alicia, weiling, sophia, sabrina and my other uol friends, do press on for the exams for the next 2 years alright? :)

Then after the exams, I made my decision to switch to State University of New York, University at Buffalo, Arts in Communications. That was quite a hard decision to make but I surely am not regretting it. I'm relieved that I switched course to something I like and enjoy. I think it's really important to do something you really enjoy so that you don't just do it for the sake of doing it.

After which, I had the very special opportunity of an internship at Mediacorp. My internship there was a really fun one, getting to know how everything works for the current affairs and news and getting to know the people there. They are awesome, really. Got to know quite a few lovely friends there. Cheers to irregular work hours! I love it!

Halfway through my period of internship, something heartbreaking happened. My grandmother passed away. She was suddenly being hospitalised and then just passed on. It really came as a big heartbreak to me more than anything else. Well, at least I left work early in the morning and spent the entire afternoon with her, by her hospital bed before she died. I'm still missing her badly and will never get over her death for the rest of my life. Yes yes, I am emotional, so be it. No one has the right to stop me from being emotional over her death because no one will understand those feelings that I feel for her. I still feel her presence around during some nights but I don't see her physical self. How I wish I'll see her spirit sometime.

Then, I started my UB life soon after and had loads of work. But all was worth it I guess.

Now's christmas! Time really passes so fast! I celebrated it at Edna's place together with all my cousins, aunts and other relatives! It was extremely fun and Renee's super cute! :D She's such a cutie pie! And a real tiny one indeed! But something feels missing without my grandma around. :( Even though I did enjoy myself with all the food and company, it just won't be the same without her. And as I type this, I'm crying and crying:(

Okay, year's coming to an end soon! I wish all of you my friends a merry blissful christmas and a happy new year! :)

2009-12-23T22:37:00.002+08:00

My father is a KAYPO FREAK. DAMN IDIOT! :S get out of my sight please.
I shall not make myself angry over such useless freaks.
Forget it.

Anyway, yesterday's christmas party at Rachel's place was super fun! :D
People who were present were Rachel, Jun Ying, Liyin, Shu Ling, Li Ni, Justin, Marilyn and me!
Too bad Celeste was sick. :(
We ate so much food! :) GLUTTONS!
Photos up on facebook on chuyuan and junying's profiles!
And not forgetting, I simply love Rachel's dog!

I've been shopping and shopping ever since the hols started. Actually, I didn't spend as much as past years though I think I shopped more. I think I spent on clothes that are less expensive, either that or the prices of clothes I buy went down. But still, money seems to be flying away. And more outings to come with friends. Sighs. Next time maybe I end up eating only bread when I go out.

The next semester is starting in about 2 and a half weeks. I'm looking forward to it although it spells me becoming super duper busy because of projects, assignments, quizzes, exams! And I'm taking 6 modules next semester! So I'll have to work doubly hard I guess!

2009-12-19T11:10:00.004+08:00

HAHA! I'm a little slow here!
But anyway! EXAMS ARE OVER! AND IT'S TIME FOR SHOP SHOP SHOPPING!!
busy busy busy shopping!

Really am glad the exams are over.
I'm like booked almost everyday for next week! seriously crazy partying up ahead. haha ok not really party party but celebrations.
today(sat): shopping later in the afternoon! :D
Sunday: most probably going for the Dan and Young run in the morning and then shopping with my younger cousins in the afternoon.
Mon: out with christina, valerie, terence, debbie, isaac, jeremiah and a few more to Flying Chillies! YAY!
Tues: to rachel's house for the Xmas Party with liyin, rachel, celeste, junying, lini, chuyuan, shuling, justin, marilyn.
Wed: possibly shopping again!
Thurs: Christmas eve party at my older cousin's house! WHEE!
Fri: Christmas Day. No concrete plans yet but I think I know what I'm gonna do!

Crazy hols! Wanted to work but since the hr haven't told me anything about needing extra staff and another department is having a whole group holiday leave, hahaha I guess this holiday will be spent not working. Quite unproductive right?!?!
Nevermind. It's okay.

Waiting for my 2 cousins to be back from taiwan! haha such a long wait! But they'll be back today!! :D
And I guess I'll use this holidays to brush up on my korean language..something i haven't touched for an extremely long time.

Although there's so much fun stuff going on now, I still can't get over the sad stuff. Sighs. I guess I'll never be able to. I may be happy at one moment but sad at another. That's the emotional me for you! I wouldn't say being emotional is bad. In fact, I think being emotional helps one's feelings to flow naturally. Well, in a way.

And oh gosh! I want to go to the BirdPark! Damn. Haven't been there for so long and can you imagine, my aunties went there last sunday without me! Because I was still having exams. Sighs. I don't care, I am going this week no matter what! I don't care whether I have to pay for the admission tickets or not! HAHAH!

And ARGHS! Damn irritated with my parents. They are totally idiotic creatures. They screamed at me and nagged at me nonstop for an hour last night. For no reason at all. IDIOTIC AND RETARDED CREATURES. Such big bullies. Get it straight! YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT THINK AND ACT IN THE SAME WAY AS YOU MUCH MUCH OLDER GENERATION PEOPLE DO AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OK! Shoo if you just can't understand this man. Stupid people.

2009-12-15T00:21:00.000+08:00

Love you Ms Ek! :)

Although I had to tackle my final paper for this sem in the afternoon today, I still decided to spend the morning at my secondary school(rv) at the boon lay campus.

I guess Ms Ek's just as important as my exams! :)

Special thanks to Mr Choy Ban Heng who informed me about the farewell for Ms Ek today.

Admittedly, I was rather affected when I found out that Ms Ek is being posted out of RV. I couldn’t concentrate 100 percent when I was studying for my sociology paper the next day. Being the emotional person I am, I felt totally awful.

She's been really the best ever principal whom I’ve come in touch with and probably the most caring one ever. Although most of my time in RV was one filled with joy, there were also periods where I felt so down, especially when I didn’t fare well academically for a particular year where absolutely too many unwanted things occurred and zoomed out of my control. She stood by me and gave me the encouragements which I really really needed at that point of time. With the exception of her and a handful of other teachers, no one else really stood by me. But what really touched me were Ms Ek’s words. They were filled with genuine love and concern, something which even my parents didn’t give me during that time. In fact, my parents were wet blankets at that time. The support shown by Ms Ek and that little handful of teachers helped me pull through that tough period, especially Ms Ek’s.

And of course not forgetting, she’s been with RV for a long 10 years(something most principals wouldn’t have the chance to). Throughout my 4 years in RV, out of which 3 years were when Ms Ek was the principal(my first year was Mr Tham). I’ve seen how much heart and soul she put in although many of my friends complain about her(well, mostly for no valid reason at all! Haha!) Really.

Anyway, today’s farewell was just a simple one in the new rv campus at boon lay. But it was so touching that I cried when the powerpoint messages were being screened. Then there were the speeches by my dear vice principal Ms Soh Kah Lay who cried halfway through. After which, we had the flower presentation to Ms Ek and then the mini lunch buffet.

Me and qingyue prepared a little gift for Ms Ek beforehand so we passed it to her after the ceremony was over. It was just a simple gift of chocolates but I hope she’ll like it.

Ms Ek’s leaving of RV is really one that is bittersweet. I guess it’s good for her to join moe hq and of course I’m sure she’ll enjoy her future journey but at the same time, it’s really sad to see her leave. Some of the teachers were tearing today too. That should be enough to show how lovely she is.

Love you Ms Ek!

2009-12-12T20:41:00.002+08:00

Whee! My last paper will be on this monday! Yay, date me out friends! Well, before I get a job or get other commitments. hahah.

I'm so tired trying to practice using all those computer science stuff! Html is quite interesting but at the same time, it's difficult...especially the javascript part. I hope the paper will be more manageable!

Bye! I'm back to revising my stuff for CSE!
:)

2009-12-09T23:30:00.003+08:00

I would like to dedicate a post to Ms Ek.

Just last night, I received information from one of my ex-teachers in RV that our dearest RV principal, Ms Ek is leaving. After I got the news last night, it affected me quite a bit as I really liked her.

I'm really really sad that she has to leave RV after having contributed so much to the school and when the school is finally going to shift to the boonlay campus, where the efforts really go to her and of course, not forgetting the teachers and students(me too!) who also contributed in terms of funds. I remember clearly those days when I was still in rv, at the west coast campus. That was the time when Ms Ek started collecting funds for the building of the new campus. She roped all of us into the donation of funds, to get our friends, family, relatives and so on to help raise enough funds for the construction. I'm proud to mention that I've played a part in it and as an alumni now, seeing the building ready for use for my juniors, I feel a sense of elatedness.

And I remember her addressing us during assembly that she spent sleepless nights mapping out the new campus architecture together with the architects. After that, when she showed us the temporary plan of the new building and all, we were all so excited over it.

Then came the time we moved to the commonwealth campus as a temporary site before the new site will be completed. The planning were still continued and when the final plan came out, I believe it was around the time when we were about to graduate.

Thinking of all the efforts put in by Ms Ek, and seeing the land at the boon lay site turn from nothing to such wonderful and beautiful buildings with pretty surroundings as I pass by almost everyday on the way to school or to the mrt, I can't help but tear when I got the news of her leaving.

Ms Ek, you were really a wonderful principal in my heart. You never failed to spur the students on with your kind words and demeanor. And not forgetting all the caring and encouraging words you gave me. It was really touching. For all that you did, I salute you! You're really the best principal I've come across. Thank you!

2009-12-09T23:13:00.002+08:00

Well, 2 of my papers are over now. Which is good news!
But the first paper(communications) was a killer! Everyone was complaining about it after it ended. And trust her to tell us that it's manageable and easy. I can't believe it was that difficult and I wonder how badly I'll fare. I'm seriously super afraid.
Today's paper(sociology) was much better although I defined something wrongly. But overall, it was considerably okay in my opinion.

Now I'm left with just 1 paper! :D Computer science paper. I hope all goes well!

Decided to come and blog because of something, which I'll mention in my next post because I want to dedicate one whole post to the matter.

2009-12-02T08:17:00.002+08:00

Just had the urge to blog after reading some of my friends' blogs.
It's really really a busy period, that's right, preparing for finals. Although the finals take up 20%, 20% and 25% respectively, it still, it is rather important in my opinion because it'll somehow affect our final grades.
So I'm trying to keep away as much as possible from some possible distractions, with the exception of watching CNA online and listening to 93.3, 95.8 and 98.7! =D
And study as best as I can.

Anyway, I really miss work a lot, especially the friends I made there. Wonder if I can go there again during my super short hols. Hopefully. Haha, I'm praying hard!

Also, this is a rather emotional period for me. I still miss my grandmother loads. And while exam stress is building up, it does not help. So if I do cry suddenly, please don't be astonished alright?

:)Okay, I think that'll be all for now. I'll update again after 14dec probably!

2009-11-20T21:11:00.002+08:00

I know I haven't been updating as regularly as the past. I've been extremely busy the entire semester. Really. And I think next semester will be even busier, considering this sem I'm only taking 4 modules while next sem I'm taking 6. You must be thinking that I'm crazy.

I miss work too! And some colleagues of course! I'm so busy with school that even when they ask me to go back just in the mornings, I can't. Don't know whether I can go to the other department during my hols after finals or not.

Anyway, I feel that school's been rather good. Albeit being flooded by projects, quizzes and such, life has been quite good. Got to know friends who really liven up my life. And not to forget my dear project mates, especially for COM! :) I swear it's the best project group I've ever had in my entire schooldays so far.
Really glad that I still have time to hang around with my UOL friends in school sometimes although I made the decision to switch to UB. The girls are wonderful. And to think that my timetable doesn't clash with theirs.
But, I haven't had time to meet up with my sec school friends who are mostly in NUS or NTU. After finals I'll be free! People, do ask me out!

Oh yes, reminds me. UOL Pageant! YAY! Sophia's in it! Hello UOL friends reading this post, do vote for F6 Sophia if you're heading down to Zouk for the UOL Bash and Pageant! I really feel like going but it's just before my finals and I don't like Zouk. SIGHS. Really really feel like going down to support sophia. Ohwells.

Down to something more serious. Well, I seem to be so cheerful everyday, but I realise that I'll randomly get into my emo moments and start crying nonstop. I still can't get over it. It's coming to 6 months already. :(
Even typing this makes me emotional. I miss my grandma.

Finals is coming! I need to get down to reading all the stuff in the textbooks. And I hope cse projects' grades turn out alright and esl grades, because I have no idea what is the exact marks.

2009-11-09T16:16:00.003+08:00

I finally found time to blog. This afternoon, I rewatched parts of Hwang Jin Ni on youtube. Just snippets of the parts where she was training for her performances and such. Her instructors were rather harsh with her, caning her without fail whenever she made any mistakes.

It sort of also reminded me of dance days in secondary school. Though we were never caned by our instructors, they were rather strict with us in my opinion and we still enjoyed the process of learning although we were constantly scolded, screamed at, whatever. I think those were the days worth reminiscing. We learnt so much in just a short span of 4 years. I think secondary school dance days were just worth remembering. I guess it's probably the tough times where we were harshly reprimanded and such and yet we still pressed on together as one team and eventually got our gold with honours.

No Pain, No Gain!

2009-10-17T15:04:00.002+08:00

My life is currently swamped with nothing but schoolwork.
Totally MAD.

I badly want to go back to work at least part time but don't have the time. Sigh.
I feel that I'm so lucky that I'm always offered jobs, and at places where I really want to be, but I just do not have the time to work because school is horribly busy.
Don't get me wrong, I'm actually doing rather okay in school. But just overwhelmed by the excessive amount of work given.

I'm in a state of wanting self indulgence, which in most of my friends' eyes, would not be a very good thing because it spells me spending money.
I want to shop and spend money! Roar!

I want to buy:
Masks
Clothes (both unknown labels and designer labels)
New nail polish
Korean stuff
Cosmetics

Those are already enough to kill my pocket.

I'm currently halfway through an essay. Need to complete it soon because I still have com blog, esl online journal, soc poster proposal. Not to forget, to study for com quiz next tues and cse midterms next friday.
I'll be in deep shit if I don't complete all those quick!

I'll be back to blog after I complete a few of those.

Why do I always not have time to do the things I like? And why do I always seem so preoccupied with so many things? And why do people stop me from doing things that I wish to do?

I'm feeling the frustration yet again. And now I can't confide in my grandma because she's no longer around.
You can say that I'm emotional but well, I still have to tell you, I'm tearing almost everyday now. I just can't get over the fact that my most beloved person on earth is gone. GONE.

Although school's been great, I think that something is lacking. I prefer my working life. I'm looking forward to life after graduation, which is just about 2 years away. I miss my working colleagues, especially those whom I got to know during my 3 month internship stint. Actually, my small boss called me up the other day to ask me back to do a programme part time. But I can't because of my school schedule. Okay nevermind. I'll just concentrate on my studies for now and after graduation, hopefully I'll be back at the same company.

And I miss ballet. I really need my weekly dose of ballet. It helps bring the frustration towards life away. Miraculously. I don't know how. But it just does it. And I haven't been doing ballet for almost a year now. Imagine how much emotions are bottled up inside.

Enough of crazy rambling. Back to my sociology notes and textbook.

I'm so sorry for not updating for such a long time. I believe there are still a few of you who visit me blog every now and then.

Anyway, I've been really busy with schoolwork. And now finally I squeezed out some time to update my poor blog here.

Just yesterday, I attended my aunt's(Joyce) wedding! :) It was so nice to see her being blissful.

Everything seemed so perfect for her finally. But I'm really sad that grandma isn't around physically to see it anymore. But I believe my grandmother will be elated to watch my aunt from wherever she is. *tearing* oh no, I'm getting emotional again.

Anyway, it was real awesome yesterday.

I went to Twister(monsoon) at jurong point to have my hair styled by my hairstylist Alvius. I very much wanted to head down to novena monsoon but it was quite inconvenient so I had no choice but to cancel my appointment at the novena branch. So anyway, my hair was really really awesome looking! Thanks a lot to Alvius!

And hahahah, it was a little similar to my Joyce's. Though a bit different styling from the back. :)

And here's my hair! Absolutely fantastic right? :)

Here's Joyce and me! :) It's been quite a while since I looked that great! And my aunt looks almost totally different from usual! :D:D

And here's Joyce and her groom!! :)

But another aunt(Sally). I feel totally flared up. Seriously. It was Joyce's wedding and Sally just had to make a scene at the dinner. Totally idiotic! My cousins and I were all apalled by what she did. Seriously what the hell. Okay, I shan't talk about her and make this post disgusting.

I'll post more photos up soon! :)

2009-09-12T00:15:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody!

I'm going to have another blog for one of my university modules, communications and it'll be graded. So I'll be needing you guys to help by visiting my communications blog and comment on the issues that I write about once each week, just for a period of 7 weeks. Please do visit and air your views! I'll be putting up my 1st entry by tomorrow!:)

The address is

2009-09-09T18:59:00.000+08:00

The 1st week of UB has just come and gone. And I'm now into the 2nd week. Really really fast! And 2 quizzes have been done. 1 more coming up next week. And another the week after next.
Projects are starting soon too. I'm really glad that all my groups consist of fun people! :)

Anyway, blogger is having problems again. Terrible.

2009-08-30T10:16:00.003+08:00

Yay! Blogger is finally okay! I'm elated. Well, because I feel so sad not being able to write.

Anyway, my internship ended and I'm starting school tomorrow! So fast!

Hmm, I didn't cry on my last day. But I felt a little emotional though. 3 months does mean something.

On my last day there on friday, I went for breakfast outside with JingYun, Weishan, Ray and Yizhuang because JingYun drives:):) We went to this very nice place. Guess where? Saddle Club! I saw the horses there and suddenly, I just felt a sense of calm and peace enter me and my heart melted upon seeing them. I definitely must save enough to buy a horse and upkeep it in future!

Okay here's one random photo I took with my colleagues there. I haven't uploaded some others I took.

Youyi and Qiqi:)

I watched my very first horror film, Where Got Ghost! 吓到笑! It's really good. In fact, I watched it twice. Haha.

I'm planning to watch the korean film Scandal Makers too.

But I'll have to be more calculative with my money for the next couple of weeks because I need to spend on my hair and makeup for Joyce's wedding. Luckily I already have my gowns and my manicure and pedicure have already been paid the last time I went to monsoon.

Starting school lessons tomorrow. I guess it's more of excitement to be going to learn what I'm really interested in. Well, at least now I don't have to engage in boring modules that wouldn't even bring me anywhere near my career aims. Yeah YAY!

That's all for now. I'll update again soon!

2009-08-16T19:46:00.000+08:00

Blogger is in a mess again. So once again, I can't post properly. I can't upload photos.

2009-08-12T21:39:00.000+08:00

Portal problem solved! Thanks to the efficient UB coordinator.

Today had a nice time in the morning chatting with my friends from my dept during breakfast. Everyone seemed extra chatty today:) I'm usually not that chatty in the mornings but this morning's different.
I wanted to watch Where Got Ghost on monday but ALL THE TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT! GRR!
If only I knew about the gala earlier. Would have gone for the gala.
And I'm convinced that I die die also must watch 吓到笑! Partly to support boris, but actually all along I've loved watching their movies. EVERYONE GO WATCH alright? =)

2009-08-11T15:38:00.000+08:00

School's starting soon, in about 3 weeks time. Luckily there's celeste around who'll be in the same course as me. Oh yes, reminds me, I need to call SIM to check certain things. Messy. All because I'm changing course. And the portal doesn't contain any UB info. I'm wondering why. So must call up to bug them.

Over the past couple of weeks, I feel like I'm so easily bugged, as in antangonized. And I need to be more unkind. Seriously.
But of course, I got to know several nice people:)

2009-08-09T21:54:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
You are 44 years old!
Every year this time, my heart goes through a heck load of emotions. I love this pretty little red dot so much. Remember I mentioned about attending last saturday's national day rehearsal? My eyes brimmed with tears as I sang the national anthem and watched the flag fly past me. It's just so touching and heartwarming. Maybe it's just because I'm an emotional wreck. I'm sure my friends will agree to that.
This year's national day parade is really excellent! Though it's really a pity that I don't have tickets to the actual day parade today. I watched it on tv. And said the pledge at 8.22pm. I can say confidently and proudly that I am very very proud to be a singaporean and I love singapore!

My aunt's getting married next month. It came as a surprise to me because although she has been with him for quite a long time, I didn't expect marriage to be on their cards. I thought they'll just be together without being bound by marriage. I feel so happy for her. But I'm sad that my grandmother can no longer physically attend her wedding.
Ever since the passing away of my grandmother, I've been crying everyday without fail. Although I try not to cry in front of my parents and colleagues, I still cry when I'm alone. Told you I'm an emotional wreck.
But I guess probably only 2 or 3 of my truckloads of friends can really understand my feelings because only they had been through almost the same thing and they were probably one of the only ones who were as close to their grandmothers as I were.
Truthfully, suicidal thoughts did ran through my mind. But I filtered them away as I'm strong willed. I know, my dying probably would help but cause more problems because people around me will still have to rush around settling my wake and funeral and stuff. So dying isn't a solution at all. Don't worry my friends, I will never attempt to do such a silly thing. I just feel like some part of me inside as died. But I will not die now because I have not yet fulfil a number of my dreams.

2009-08-07T21:57:00.000+08:00

It was a rather hectic day today. At first I was slacking because I had to wait for the scripts to be done. And then after that when the scripts were done, I had to do the subtitles at the CG machine which is really really old. The third part was so rushed, luckily it was rather short.
Anyway, do watch 前线追踪 tonight. It's on 2 stories. One about a bird problem at hawker centres and the other is on ndp celebrity bloggers. Yup, both are really interesting! :)

Oh yes. On wednesday, quite a number of my friends came to mediacorp. It was nice seeing them there. Chendi went to participate in the variety programme 我要唱下去. I only went to Studio 1 for a little while but I had to settle my trailers so I had to go off. But I liked the sudio setting for that programme. Now I understand why some programmes have nicer settings. Can't write those things here though.
After that, it was rather late already so I decided to go off with celeste when she had to rush to her workplace at vivo.

Monday is a public holiday for national day! Haha but I still have to go to work. Need to package the programme so that it can be aired on tv. That's 世界一周on channel U by the way. Don't know why there's channel U programme for me to do. I do mostly channel 8 programmes.
Oh anyway, don't miss 早安您好on channel 8 on monday too!

Crazy. I feel like I'm mass advertising for the programmes. Haha nevermind.
Hmm. 3 weeks more and I'll be leaving mediacorp. Don't know how I should feel. But I'll definitely miss the people there. Maybe I'll go back after graduation. But I guess should be another department although people in my department are really nice. I want to try a few other departments.

Okay, I've talked too much about work on my blog.

2009-08-02T12:05:00.000+08:00

Hmm coming to think of it. Now that I'm changing course, I should just change to veterinary science instead. My precious grandma isn't around anymore and the next best thing for me should be hanging around with animals. At least, the animals do feel for me, unlike most unfeeling humans. And that's like my dream all along, that is to be a vet.

But nevermind, I'm changing to arts in communication. At least for the first half of my career life, I shall just do media. After that then I'll reconsider taking a vet course overseas and coming back to singapore to open my own vet clinic. That will be almost heaven.

2009-08-02T11:30:00.000+08:00

I still can't upload photos because blogger is still facing problems.
It's ok. Forget it.

I enjoyed myself yesterday. Courtesy of my mum's boss, I had 2 NDP Preview tickets! I went with doreen(my aunt). Woohoo! This year's performance is better than last year's. Seriously.
It's been years since I had the chance to attend NDP. This year's choreography for most of the performances were really good. I especially enjoyed the one with the terror attack at marina, the gymnastics and the little red dots performance. And of course, I loved the marching and the march past.

The singing of the national anthem this year was touching. I had reflections, flashbacks about singapore and the people. As I sang the national anthem and watched the flag fly past us, tears welled up in my eyes. It was an undescribable feeling.
That is why I've always longed to perform for NDP or to be in the planning committee.
I believe I'll have the chance to do so in future.
As for now, for the next 2 plus years, I need to finish up my studies well, do extremely well. Yes.
And then when I step out into the workforce, I'll probably get a job that will either give me enough time to perform every year, or even better, to be in the NDP planning committee. Won't be that hard to get a job like that I think, because I'm planning to go into media and arts. Maybe MDA or Mediacorp or PA or government associations. Or jumping about these few companies will be nice too.
Actually, I had originally wanted to join the singapore military but as you my friend would probably know, I don't enjoy having to be one of the only females hanging out with all males most of the time although there are many extremely handsome looking guys in there.

Personally, I liked the hosts this year a lot too! There's Mark Lee, Gurmit Singh, Michelle Chong, Suhaimi and Vernetta Lopez! They were absolutely entertaining and hyped. :) Here's a toast to you guys!!

Maybe I'll just upload the photos on facebook since blogger refuses to troubleshoot it's problem.

2009-07-28T14:09:00.003+08:00

Many a time, I feel like I let so many things in life pass by without paying much attention to it. Maybe I should be more petty and lower my tolerance level. I seem like one whom you can bully but when I really blast my top, it's scary. To think certain people can make me extremely irritated. Anyway, I have no idea why my blogger page at home has a problem. It doesn't show the font size and style when I intend to create a new post. I'm now blogging from office. There's meeting later but now I'm free.
Actually I wrote this 1 or 2 days ago.

2009-07-26T14:11:00.000+08:00

I think there's some problem with blogger again. Oh man. The photo uploader and the font size options are all gone. This is frustrating though I don't think I'm uploading any photos for the moment.

I really hate to have to accept the fact that my grandmother has passed away. I mean, imagine, I was with her on a sunday. Then tuesday she fainted, wed she passed away and on the next sunday, she's being buried about 2 metres underground. HOW??? I don't know what to do, how to react. It's really a horrible feeling. But I believe I'll see her spirit around every now and then. Hmm.
Okay, I'm a free thinker so I don't really bother what you people with religions think about what I just said.
I just need to type out my feelings else I'll really go into depression.
Can you believe it? I know I'm emotional but... I've been crying everyday you know. And when people around me start to say things that makes me sad or agitates me, I'll just cry. And I don't think I'll be able to come out of it.

Anyway, work was busy on friday. And I kind of feel bad that I can't stay over till later to do my programme and have to leave it to the other AP to do. But see, I left office at about 6PM and I only reached home at 8 something PM. Somehow, it takes longer for me to get home than to get there. And I feel bad that I have to leave it to my other colleague to do it because she's nice to get along. The other colleague is somehow going to drive me mad. Mad as in really angry kind of mad. ROAR. SHOO you if you can't bloody hell use the right english words to express yourself. Just speak in chinese and don't offend me with your warped english. If only they just let me continue doing 早安您好 instead of doing the other chinese current affairs programmes. Or if only they had vacancies in ch8 variety, ch8 drama or CNA. Nvm. She's the only one getting on my nerves so it's alright. The rest are nice people.

2009-07-21T10:57:00.000+08:00

I'm now sitting in office. The very spot where I was sitting 2 weeks ago in the morning. 2 weeks ago this day, I was already planning to go off soon when I received an sms from my father about ah ma's condition. I stared at the msg teary eyed and left immediately. Rushed down to changi hospital's ICU to see my grandmother. On the way there, I was already crying. Well, at least I spent the whole afternoon with her before her heartbeat dropped to zero.

Anyway, I can't remember the name of the taxi uncle who drove me to Changi Hospital but I would like to praise him for comforting me. And also another patient at Changi Hospital when I was trying to find the wards building. Thank you very much. Your kind actions and words made me less nervous.

Hey friends, please do not agitate me if not I warn you, I'll break into tears even more easily now as compared to last time.

2009-07-18T21:41:00.004+08:00

I feel that I'm more emotional now than before. I don't think it's a very good thing but I can't control.
I still can't accept the fact that my grandma has passed away. 3 days before she passed away I was with her, talking and drinking her ginseng and felt so happy and contented. That was a sunday. And tuesday night, she fainted. Wed night she went off. How can I not be upset, emotional, heartbroken, when she's the only one who really cared for me since birth?
Aye. I've been crying everyday since over a week ago.

And then I realised how emotional I was when I was at work yesterday. My colleague said something and I didn't understand what she meant so I merely asked, "哪里有？" And if you know me, my pitch of voice is very high. So maybe it sounded as if I'm arguing or what. When the other older colleague came, she heard and told me, "别人叫你做，你就做。不要argue." PLEASE, I'M ALREADY VERY UPSET BY OTHER THINGS, SO ONCE YOU AGITATE ME BY SAYING SUCH THINGS AND USING THE WRONG WORD, IT'S THE END. I know you had chinese education and so your english is not so good. But I take things seriously and not as a joke like you said. I don't think it's funny when you said I argued. I take it to heart. I very well DID NOT ARGUE. So, you know what, I just burst into tears nonstop. I continued with my work but I cried nonstop. I already mentioned to a number of them, I'm very emotional and will cry anytime. If you do agitate me into crying, I'll cry nonstop and I can't stop for a very long while. So if you people can, make me laugh more instead of cry. At least when I laugh, it makes others laugh too. But when I cry, I'd admit, it's scary.
Or just SHOO and SHUT UP if you can't use the right word because I take things to heart.

That said, don't get me wrong, I'm actually rather contented at work. I'm just a little upset they changed me to another programme when I'm getting the hang of the original one just because of a stupid reason. But no point saying. Anyway, it's also good that I learn more different things so I'm not complaining about it.

2009-07-15T23:00:00.002+08:00

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates. I'm in no mood to blog actually, because something very upsetting happened to me. My grandmother passed away. I don't think I'll say anything on my blog. It's too personal. Yup. If you know me and want to ask me about it you can though. Just not on my blog yup.

:(:(

2009-07-04T13:06:00.003+08:00

Roar! I'm upset. Something is wrong is Blogger. Why can't I upload my photos?!?!?! I'm fuming already.

Now I understand why my other friends mentioned that about blogger. Hmm.
Maybe I should shift myself to omy.
I have photos to upload la.
Including those from dj course.
sighs.

2009-07-03T17:50:00.003+08:00

Work's been good I feel, except for some afternoons where I just pop the tape and dvd into the machine and wait forever for it to be transferred. So I'll just surf the internet rather aimlessly and wait for it to be done.
Well, you know, I'm one person who loves to get up early in the morning and so going to work early isn't a problem to me. :)
Anyway, yesterday I was quite high because 怡凤 and 鐘琴 came for our interview. Because I would say they're both within the hosts whom I really like. :D
Don't miss their 抢摊大行动! It debuts on 6th July. Every monday 8pm! Don't miss it!

It's fun because I like getting to know new friends so I guess doing 早安您好 is indeed a good thing because doctors, drama producers, actors, actresses, chinese physicians, stock analysts, cooks, etc come for interviews.

I need to search for more time though, because I need to go to sephora to get foundation. And maybe the clinique wash too. And I need to find time to meet with some friends.

2009-06-29T20:02:00.003+08:00

yay!
Remember I mentioned in my previous post that I can't type chinese characters on my laptop? I'm overjoyed right now! I finally changed to the correct language and now I can type freely in chinese whenever I want on my laptop! WHOO!

我终于可以用我的电脑打华语字体了！
真的无法想像我在新传媒实习已经有大概三个礼拜左右了。其实，我觉得工作环境是蛮好的。虽然说同事们会偶尔诉苦，但这是每个公司都会有的现象。这也当然比我以前在圣淘沙工作来得好。
既然自己以后打算进入媒体界，那这次的实习一定会帮助我先铺一道路。很多人都不知道其实在媒体界工作会要用到非常多的机器或仪器，所以当他们真正踏入媒体界时，都会感到有点措手不及。还好我不算是那些会对机器感到抗拒的人，所以还觉得蛮顺利的。
希望以后毕业之后，能够加入CNA,因为我觉得自己能更加擅用英语来表达其中一些含义。
我想，如果再读我的搏客的你是我认识的朋友，大概你已经知道我在新传媒的<早安您好>实习吧。但其实我没有告诉很多人，可能只有小猫一两只知道吧。

Of course some of you may not want to or know how to read the chinese characters above. But well, it's for some of my friends to read only so yup, you can skip the whole part actually.

I'm kind of worried about the community spread of the H1N1 virus in Singapore. Just within a matter of days, the total number of confirmed cases have increased to over 600. This is a little scary because you have no idea when or where it'll hit you or the people around you.

Courtesy of CHANNEL NEWS ASIA:
How the flu virus works
The virus enters the nose or mouth,
inhaled in droplets expelled by a cough or a sneeze by an infected person.
It can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours,
depending on the type of surface, temperature and humidity.

And of course, the most recent breaking news that is somehow affecting the emotions of millions of people around the globe is the death of the famous pop singer Michael Jackson. This "King of Pop", fondly known as, suffered a cardiac arrest in his home in Los Angeles days ago. People from all over the world, have been mourning over his death and some have prepared small funerals for him wherever they were in the world. And although I'm not a great fan of Michael Jackson, I cannot dispute the fact that his music was one which no other person in this world can reproduce. Probably, I would agree that in the later part of his life, his face was damaged by the chemicals used in the surgeries he underwent and partly by his misuse of drugs, to the point where I think it was rather hideous. But taking his poor health into consideration, I think his sudden death may in fact be a blessing in disguise because if he indeed went ahead with the 50 concerts as planned, his health may deteriorate even more quickly and cause him more pain than before. So I guess we could only pray that he'll rest in peace and that legendary pop king in him will remain in the hearts of all his fans.

2009-06-29T16:05:00.002+08:00

不知何故，我家里的电脑不能够打华语字体。现在是在办公室里blog的。所以现在在乐。哎，真是的！
因为我是在华文新闻部做工，所以比较容易用到software. hmm.
I don't know what to blog on actually. I mean it's weird to blog on what I do you know.
Ok, maybe I can blog on the dj course I attended recently.
Then again, there's not much to talk about.

2009-06-21T11:53:00.005+08:00

I haven't been updating my blog properly for so long. Time to do some justice to my dear blog i suppose.

I did my nails myself the other day! :) And for once, it's perfect.

Rare. Because I usually go for manicures instead. And actually, I went for another manicure and pedicure at Monsoon on friday. But I have not uploaded the photos of my nails yet. It's not bad. But too bad Kenzo isn't with them anymore if not I'll get more sophisticated nail art. My current one is just simple and sweet.

This is the one I did myself.

Also, I read this good book from the library. It's a chinese book actually. Teaching how you should read and break up your sentences so that it'll be presented in a pleasant way when reading and eventually capture the attention of the audience:)

Next up! I went lunching with qingyue at the fast food restaurant outside Jurong BirdPark.

By fast food, I don't mean macdonalds nor kfc nor long john silvers nor mos burger.

It serves food somewhat similar to swensens.

And I took some photos of the swans and ducks just outside the restaurant.

So elegant and cute!

Remember that I promised to upload the photo of the dress I bought?

Here it is. Haha I really like it.

OOOHH that reminds me. I went out with desiree, sienmae and mingxi. We went to coffee club and had our individual orders before getting a sinful MUDPIE!!

OH MAN! I WANT MORE! Just look at it!

Okay, this is a super random shot. I was merely trying out the different effects on my handphone.

I look really plump and unglam in this shot. HORRID.

Last but not least, I've been going to work (internship actually) everyday on weekdays.

And on the way out from my workplace, there's this whole lane of bungalows.

I met this cute and sweet cat the other day so I decided to catch a photo of it. HEHEE.

Not a very clear photo because the weather was crazy. The sweltering heat can kill.

I owe my dear friends visiting my blog an explanation right? I haven't updated properly at all till today. And still, I think this is a rather tardy post. Anyway, I've been going to work from monday to friday for the past 2 weeks. And I have to reach mediacorp by 5.30am. Then when I get home, there's not much time and I've been having writer's block for the last few days.

This whole week I don't think I'm updating. Because I'll be there from 5.30am. And I'll be staying till about 10pm? If I really do update, it'll be super short posts and done in the office.

2009-06-15T17:32:00.002+08:00

I woke up to swollen eyes 2 weeks ago i just remembered. I have totally no idea why. But luckily it went off in a few days. Haha. But the feeling was horrible.

Anyway, work's been good. Well, at least I feel that I'm enjoying it. I hope they'll let me do gms for the entire 3 months. :) I believe it's more fun than the others. And because I prefer waking up in the early early morning too. But oops. Today something happened. I was like thinking "oh shit" when it happened.

I really miss ballet. sigh. But the class has started and it's like so wasteful if I join back the class now because I would have paid full amount yet attend 2 less classes. Boo hoo. But then again I think i'll only have time to do it like now because once school starts I have a feeling that it's going to be crazy schedules.

I'm so going to the gym next week. Yes. Maybe I should go everyday next week. good idea?

2009-06-14T11:11:00.003+08:00

Today's a sunday and guess what? I'm bored.
BOREDD!
grr...
Boredom really frustrates me.

Work's been quite fun:)
Much better than the previous workplace I feel.

I have no idea why I feel like i've run out of things to blog nowadays.
Nothing comes to mind whenever I start blogging.
HORRIBLE.

Anyway, I have something to look forward to at the end of the month. :D

2009-06-08T22:56:00.002+08:00

Today's my official first day of my internship! :D:D:D
I guess those who know me well probably know where I'm interning already.
Okay. It's been good although it's not super busy that kind.
But that said, there's actually a lot of things to learn and familarise.
And it's nice mingling around with the colleagues.
They're nice and friendly and just fun to be around with.
I'm looking forward to getting to know more of them. :)

Oh and then after work I went to an MP meet the people session to help with letter writing.

Okay there's not much to blog about now. I'm going to read.

2009-06-07T21:10:00.003+08:00

Woohoo! I finally got a perfume for myself. After saving for quite a long period of time, I decided not to spend a huge part of it on one that is overly expensive yet it needs to have a proper brand so that I do not end up smelling stinky instead.
So, I got myself a BURBERRY perfume. It's not very big but I guess it's worth the money spent. I paid $33.90 for it. Don't you think it's a bargain? I wanted very much initially to get the PRADA one from SaSa but it costs $98. Goodness gracious.
Anyway, I got a top from Cotton On and it's just $5! :D
And another top or can be used as dress from Mjphosis. It's $17.80 after discount.
I LOVE GSS! Will show more photos of the clothes I bought as soon as I take photos of them and upload them here.
Oh by the way, if you do notice from the photos, my fingernails are done again. I did them myself this time!
I was lazy to travel to novena. But I will soon because I need to utilise the package.

Here's photos of my perfume:) It's not that strong. Has a sweet light smell that lingers.

Okay, more stuff from magazines which I doubt I'll have money to buy but it's worth a glance because they're really pretty. To repeat, I'm not buying them. I'm just sharing with you some items which are pretty. Please don't get the wrong idea.

CHANEL BALLET FLATS ($465)

Ralph lauren collection silk jacquard Raj coat and Alexandra pants($1998 and $898)

Dior by john galliano silk crepe georgette dress ($7765)

This I truly want but the price is too exorbitant. Perhaps if there's any sponsor, I'll willingly take it:) haha daydreams!

Life is just starting to get all hyped up next week. By that, I actually mean busy. I'm excited that I'm going to be busy. I'm not being weird. I'm just happy. I can't wait for work to start on monday. It's actually sort of an internship, trainee attachment to be exact. I don't think it's convenient to divulge which company it is here. But well, the first letter starts with M. That's all I can say.

Oh yes, anyone who needs a freelance writer you can email me at janet_carissa@hotmail.com
Can be essays or feature writing. english or chinese.

Just last night, it's confirmed that singapore has 14 cases of h1n1 cases. Certain countries like australia seem to be quite badly hit by the virus too. :(
Let's all be prepared for a serious outbreak.

Haven't really been meeting up with friends except for mingxi and qingyue. I guess my timings do not coincide with my other friends' free time. Oh well. Maybe next time I guess.

2009-06-04T15:38:00.002+08:00

I don't understand why people write blogs to "shoot" others so directly.
It makes no sense.
Makes my blood boil.
That should obviously not be the reason of writing his/her blog posts.
On the other hand, I don't really bother because I'm not going to do such insensitive things.
I just hope the beautiful people around continue in their beautiful ways and not fall into that bottomless pit.

Yay, I'm starting my internship aka trainne attachment next monday! I can't wait though it spells a busy schedule. But I believe I'll enjoy being a busy bee:)

2009-06-02T23:10:00.002+08:00

I just read a blogpost by addy. It's really meaningful. The one about the true meaning of writing blogs.
I feel exactly the same way as him. No one should criticise another person outrightly, especially on blogs. No one has the right to do so. And you see, although I do post some of the things I buy and all that, I don't say something that costs a high price to be cheap and sorts, you get what I mean. There's seriously no point in flaunting. Everyone started from status quo.
And I don't like it when people start being rude in their comments on their blog. It's infuriating. Really.
Like hello. Although it may be your own personal blog, you shouldn't scold others rude names when they ask you questions and such.
Addy is really one of the most humble personalities whom I know. No matter how much he is earning from his salons, he still cares about people around him. And his wonderful personality exudes warmth to the people around. Not forgetting charity work too. There's one coming up. Love Can't Wait Fashion Show on 8th June 2009 at 7.30pm. It's at Tampines 1.
Do go read addy's blog if you guys have the time. I have his link on my blog. :)

I think I've been doing much these days although uol exams are over.
And I'm thinking quite a lot too.

On a side note, I can't wait for a particular course coming up at the end of the month! Mingxi! I know you can't wait too! :D
And I feel so blessed. updates when everything's confirmed. haha. :)

2009-05-29T21:03:00.002+08:00

There's officially 4 cases of h1n1 in Singapore. Although within 1 day it increased from 1 to 4, I strongly believe that singapore has made the necessary precautions and that the government will handle the situation with much expertise, especially so because the health officials have been through the SARS period and learnt much from it.

I'm glad. Really thankful for it! :)

2009-05-28T11:55:00.002+08:00

I'm so relieved that it's going smoothly. THANKFUL!

I'm now sitting comfortably at starbucks in simei. Whiling away my time while sipping on Chai Tea Latte and feasting on my cheese bagel with cream cheese. What great lifestyle! :) Feels good.

Anyway, there's news of the 1st confirmed case of h1n1 flu here in singapore already. I hope there's no human transmission like that in japan. But having said that, I really have to applaud japan for their responsible actions. The methods which they took to curb further spreading is really excellent.

Still waiting intently for the replies from the companies which I sent email to. I went for my dental appointment today and my orthodontist agreed with me that it's kind of difficult to get a decent job in this kind of economic environment right now. Oh man, all I can do is send emails asking and try to apply for some alternative jobs. Kind of hard.

The past week saw me starting on my chinese novels and non fiction books again. Haha:) I like reading. Though I don't really fancy reading fiction stories unless it's english literature kind. hmm.
I feel that I need to start on my ballet again. really. SDT! Please add more classes in weekday mornings or afternoons. PLEASEEEE!

2009-05-27T21:15:00.002+08:00

It's such a tiring process. I mean the applying to ub process. I just got an email from the programme executive today and she highlighted that I need to submit transcripts for my uol first year. I mean, she works in sim, she should at least roughly know that uol only has 1 exam and of course results aren't out yet since the exams are just over. Oh my gosh. I'm worried you know. Seriously. Because I really want to change course. No matter what. I hope it's solved by tomorrow. I replied her through emai already, explaining to her like how the uol business programme executive explained. Hope everything goes really smoothly. I'll do anything to change it successfully. Hmm, the admission criteria for that is Olevels so I hope everything really goes smoothly. I don't care whether there's transfer credits for my first year or not, I need to change course. I'm serious. I tried calling her but she had ended work for the day. Tomorrow. Must settle everything tomorrow and I have dental tmr. Please don't call me during my dental appointment. Worried is really the right word to use. Please do it for me!

Okay, sorry for the ramblings.

2009-05-26T21:33:00.002+08:00

I met up with qingyue and mingxi yesterday to chill at starbucks. We kind of had a great time talking though we were all kind of tired after that. After which, we went to the library to get books. Yes books. I like to read. Anyway, when we were at jp, we saw mark lee:) But he looked kind of upset and I found out just now when I read his blog that he lost his phone with hundreds of photo memories and all inside. Oh man. I hope whoever picks it up returns it. Then towards the evening I went for something meaningful:) Stayed till rather late but because it's near my house, I could get home in roughly 5 to 10 mins.

Today went to trim my fringe again. After such a long time. *faints* Months. And I'm accompanying mingxi there tomorrow in the morning then have to rush to town to meet desiree and maybe sienmae. It's been long.

I hope my friends are free on weekdays. I can't meet on weekends! Hmmm. please don't ask me out on weekends. sorry!

2009-05-24T21:05:00.005+08:00

Well, here I am again posting up several pictures of the items from magazines which caught my eye. :)

Here's a style tip from a particular magazine.
Pick no more than 1 bold accessory per outfit. For example, a bold necklace or a bold bracelet but not both.

This heels is really pretty! Oh gosh! I love the brand. It's from DIOR!

Bangles are from DIVA. (price not available)

Belt from CHANEL:) GORGEOUS! I REALLY WANT IT!!! :)

Belt from HERMES. really really nice! I WANT IT!

Ok, this is a photo at the airport which I randomly took.

I don't think there's much to blog about for now. Nothing really happening in my life or anything.

No nice tv programmes today because it's a sunday. And nothing much on radio either. I'm kind of bored.

Maybe I'm going to read TIMES magazine.

Please let me get that internship or job. Whatever there is I'll take it so long it's media related and one of the companies I emailed. Although the economy is down, I believe my resume is still positive enough to get me at least 1 or else more jobs or internships. I'm not bragging but I believe in myself. But I must say, 2 of the companies i emailed, according to my knowledge, are cutting down costs and such...which isn't a good sign.

2009-05-24T08:30:00.002+08:00

Thinking if I should go tomorrow. I feel I should. sigh. how how how? I bet my parents will nag me again. ROAR. Can't stand constant naggings. Nag again and I'll burst!

Anyway, I realised I can't apply for rmit. TSKTSK stupid sim staff refused to let me, saying that you must have a full diploma to apply for that. WAHH I STARED AT HER LIKE SHE'S SOME WEIRD CREATURE! whatever.
Decided to apply for buffalo's communications instead. Oh, just as well la i guess, since I know of others who are or may be applying for buffalo's comm too. It's not bad just that the fees is kind of exorbitant.
And I wonder when the UOL results will be out. Someone please enlighten me!

Going out for shopping later with cousins! :D:D:D

2009-05-22T20:24:00.007+08:00

This is my favourite variety show!

NU WANG BEN SE aka PARIS AND MILAN!

Snapped some photos from the tv and decided to post them online. They're such a cute bunch of hosts!

The photos are blurry. Sorry!

2009-05-21T17:37:00.006+08:00

Ok on second thought, I think I'll post some photos up now since the photo uploading from my phone is lightning quick!

These are the items that caught my eyes while flipping through magazines. Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not buying all but they're nice to own though. I decided I shall post as many photos of items that I want or have bought on my blog in future. Haha

Hi blog readers, just some nice recommendations.

Bag from Toscano (price unavailable)

Bag from Kate Spade (price unavailable)

Wallets from Kate Spade ($410 for the purple & $410 for the light green)

Dior Le Trente tote (about $1000 plus)

2009-05-21T17:13:00.004+08:00

Finally! Exams are finally over! I feel so ELATED! Yes, elated is such a subtle word to use! I feel like jumping around with no care at all in the world! Oh man! Finally the long awaited break! And what's more, I'm going to transfer to a mass communications degree soon soon soon! I feel like screaming with joy! :D:D:D

I'm kind of lazy to upload all the photos I have in both my camera and phone right now and so, I just uploaded 1 photo. Haha!

Guess what? That's a photo taken while I was rewatching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that day admidst my papers. I needed to relax and channel 5 happened to broadcast the show on tv and so I watched although I watched it in the cinema quite some time ago. It's a super touching show! Really!

Okay now I need to get down to the application forms for rmit and buffalo. I WANT RMIT MASS COMM! :)

More photos later when I return!

I went to Tampines 1 after the ibm paper just now! With Amy and Alicia. Cool place but not as many shops as jurong point. I'm going back there possibly tomorrow or one of the days next week to get Uniqlo stuff and try out Jeff Wang's stall:)

2009-05-17T15:05:00.002+08:00

I feel so deprived of music this couple of days. Grr. The last paper is this coming thursday and it's sapping away energy from me. Despite finding IBM somehow interesting in a way, it still is tough and driving me up the wall. And weekend radio is rather boring. Boo. And it's filled with the noisy songs. Boo. Haven't danced in a long while. Boo. And I'm in need of hagen daaz ice cream. Boo. Okay, switch to symphony 92.4. yay.
Okay I have too many wants to satisfy. Nevermind. 4 more days of torment.
I can't wait for weekday nights' radio programmes. Oh man! Monday hurry come! That's tomorrow actually.
Hmm.
I think I'll go find a full time job after exams. Seriously.
I'm raving mad now because I'm bored. Boredom drives one into desperation. Well, at least for me.
I need to shop!
AAAHHH!

I can't wait to switch course!

2009-05-15T21:06:00.002+08:00

Today's econs went reasonably well in my opinion. Okay, I won't say that I'll definitely do well but but definitely a prim and proper pass. Today morning's revision at the airport was a good move.
I'm left with one paper and that's intro to business and management.
Hmm. Alicia is considering switching to rmit too. :) hello alicia, I know you're reading this. Haha, it's really good that we both know now what we are really interested in and don't need to waste more time and money having to face the possibility of retaking. I'm just relieved that I made the courageous choice to voice it out to my parents and they really agreed willingly.
YAY! :D

Flip to URBAN in the straits times today. Read the part about hairstylists.
I totally agree with the articles that a good hairstylist is important.
And one whom understands you and your hair is important too.
I'm happy that I'm in touch with a group of really talented yet humble hairstylists and they all do a great job out of their clients' hair.
If you do not have a proper hairstylist already, do try out a haircut at any monsoon group salons. Wahh, free advertisement for monsoon. HAHA! But I really do trust all the hairstylists there. Not to mention, they have nail services at one of the outlets too! :):) Omg, I haven't gone there for months. Okay, not because I am biased but because I used to have a head of horrendous looking hair. Just ask those whom knew me before I rebonded and cut at monsoon. It was totally in a mess. Yes, MESS is the right word. And i used to visit a neighbourhood salon that my mum goes to and they're not even trained.
Although it may be more expensive than some other hair salons, it's worth at least a try.

Now that I have some time on my hand to blog, this entry will be a longer one yes? Haha not too long though.
Thank you for even reading on till here. Actually there are photos on my phone that I want to share but I'm a little lazy to upload them. After exams, I promise.

I still need to save money that's one thing. I have a job "lobang" but thinking if I should go for it. Well.
There's simply too many things to spend on. So much so that I'll need to save like crazy just to spend it on the things I like. I need a full time job after my exams.

Applaud the Land Transport Authority! The circle line is coming soon. It'll be so convenient when it starts operation. Wonder if it'll be ready next month.

As I've mentioned before, I've been listening to yes93.3 recently and even till late in the nights on weekdays. I've been curbing my emotional self for so long such that it's becoming abnormal. I mean, I'm a rather emotional person who cries and laughs easily. But I haven't been able to let my emotions flow normally for too long, until I started listening to ivy and chongqing's joke sessions and chongqing's ye ye ye on weekday nights. I'm serious. The joke sessions brought laughter that doesn't carry stress or subdued emotions. And the ye ye ye sessions when chongqing shared some of his life experiences when chatting with those who called in allowed me to make me myself once again. Once was about telling really personal problems and feelings to friends. I experienced what he experienced at some point. To repeat what he said, It's scary when what you said gets conveyed to others without your consent. And what's worse is when all these turn into twisted up gossips and rumours which isn't even the least bit true. Okay, enough of my ramblings which most of you wouldn't even understand.
I'm looking forward to something:) SMILES! :):)

GOOD DAY EVERYONE! HAVE A BLESSED DAY AHEAD OF YOU! :D

2009-05-14T09:49:00.002+08:00

GRR! ROAR! 2 huge pimples the side of my forehead. It's maddening I swear. Not just because it's unsightly but because it's painful as well.
And yesterday my father was such an imp to irritate me to the maximum. I almost exploded like a volcano. Damn it! Please people, do no attempt to irritate me during any exam period especially, I'm emotionally weak and if you do, I might just explode. You wouldn't want to see that happen. Really.

But well, I cooled down and studied while staying up to listen to chongqing on the radio. :)
Really made me feel better. hmm. If only I can manage to call in which is almost impossible. Not impossible though. Nvm. attending a course in june. I have not told my parents yet. Oh no. It's at night you know. So, kind of problematic. They should change it to one in the day then I can skip the part about telling my parents I'm going for the course, which they most probably would nag because it ends at 10pm for that 5 days.
Hopefully I hear something about the other course then... haha.
Sorry I don't really want to divulge anything here.

I read a long dated blog post by chong qing. Totally agree with him. He talked about his good friend pat mok. Haha. Though I do not know her personally, I can feel that she is a true friend. Those whom you can pour your problems, bitch with, be sure that what you say won't be leaked out. Though many people describe her as a big mouth, which I really think it's a rude nickname to give others, I feel that she definitely is not. Hope I can get to know her personally one day. It'll be so fun! :)

Ok, I'm gone now. I need to study for tomorrow's econs exam.
On a side note, I think uni admissions are really weird. People with reasonably good results aren't even getting accepted. To the point where I heard a number of juniors whom I know were from good jcs and got reasonably good results face the prospect of retaking their alevels. Absurd.

2009-05-13T09:31:00.002+08:00

Yes! I'm halfway through my exams. I don't know what to say but I sure hope my Accounting paper passes the minimum passing mark.
I got the blogging mood back so I decided to pop by here.
Anyway, I'm left with 2 papers so YIPPIE!

Anyway, just some updates to those friends who still read my blog. As you all know, I've been studying the university of london degree for the past year. I'm going to change to the RMIT degree in Mass Communications instead! Well, if they accept me. *clasps hands and prays hard* Haha though my friends and dad all said they'll definitely accept cos you know, _ _ _ is money minded.

Oh man, suddenly I'm reminded of the sentosa golf course! I want to go there to play golf! Grr.

Next week thurs is my last paper. YAY! I'm going mad thinking of all the wonderful things after this last exam. FREEDOM before I get a job and officially announce that I'm going back into workaholic lifestyle. Okay, actually even workaholic me will have to relax and spend some money doing the things I enjoy.

I haven't been exercising for so long! HELP i'm getting fat! Ok maybe a little exagerrated. But really, I need exercise, something which I haven't had the time for in the past few months. Only maybe a little stretch here and there but it's not enough. Look at my stomach and face. I feel so obese. Plus all the starbucks I've been having almost on a daily basis. omg, luckily i'm not in france or australia or for that matter in any western countries. Else I would be gorging on the macarons and chocolate like a deprived little girl everyday! Can you imagine?!?!

I'm actually still thinking which companies I should approach for a job. Magazines, news stations, esplanade? Maybe I should go back sentosa if all else doesn't come through. The animal handler one is quite attractive.
It's so hard to get one in the media industry in this economic crisis. Everyone's cutting costs.

Ok my laptop's battery is going flat soon! Better switch it off!

Anyway, one last thing. Nice slippers on pat mok's blog. If you can, go have a look!

2009-05-06T08:19:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's the official start of my exams. So I guess blogging will be put on a hiatus temporarily, though I believe I'll still be reading other people's blogs. I don't like putting a whole platon of unstable emotions here too much so that's why I don't want to blog during the exam period. hahahah.
Anyway, I wouldn't say I'm very prepared for the exams but I can say I've done my best and hope for the best.

At the same time, yes I know I should stop thinking of that for at least the time being. But how how how to forget?? It's making my shiver with nervousness.
I want that badly.
really.
PLEASE please please!

I wonder if I'll be able to get a short term job after my exams but i sure hope so. But for a few weeks after exams, I want to just moope around, hang out with friends, do the things I like, shop, eat, you know.
Then again, I don't think it's even easy for me to get a short term job in the media industry right now. Or journalism sector.

Anyway, I really love listening to yes 93.3 on weekday nights because there's chongqing on the live broadcast. Listening to his voice makes me comforted admidst all the tortuous stress especially during this period. I don't know exactly why but it's just like that. And he never fail to make me smile during his broadcast:)

2009-05-03T09:10:00.002+08:00

Exams are in a matter of four days! Oh my god.
Okay, other than getting fidgety and such, I'm not going to panick because panicking doesn't do any good at all.
I can only study as best as I can and leave the rest to the examiners to decide right?
But really, accounting is sucking the soul out of me. I think I'm enjoying ibm now. But the other modules call for more attention. oops.

I'm really looking forward to holidays after the exams in 3 weeks time!
Money sucking holidays.
I'm going to:
shop
have manicures and pedicures
go for courses
meet up with friends
go beach
shop shop and more shopping
hair treatment maybe?

So hopefully I do get jobs during that period which will keep me so busy and keep the money rolling in so that the money input is more than the money output. haha! I'm serious ok.

And I'm still hoping something nice will happen.
Wishing upon that tiny little star up in the vast sky.

2009-05-01T22:55:00.002+08:00

Happy May Day to all "labourers"!
Sounds rather funny. Seriously! LOL:D
I'm looking forward to the holidays after exams! WOOH!
I'm looking forward to the relaxation cum hustle bustle of work life though I haven't officially sourced for any jobs yet. Hehee. But really can't wait already! I'm studying as best as I can for now!
And I'm looking forward to the courses during that period.
I'm looking forward to helping out at the mps sessions.

And I'm considering on applying for the rmit university part time mass communications degree if I do have to stay at sim so that I'll be doing 2 degrees concurrently so that when I graduate it'll be easier for me to get into my dream industry. Hmm, I think my mum is supportive of that. I did mention about it briefly to her while watching the news just now.

Talking about news, the first case of swine flu in asia is confirmed. A Mexican traveller in Hong Kong. I sincerely pray for the ones who have contracted this deadly influenza. I hope they'll have a speedy recovery.

I'm trying to save money for the holidays after exams!

2009-05-01T08:55:00.003+08:00

Swine Flu

It's really spreading so quick.

Singapore has changed to orange zone already. Means it's really bad. Though there haven't been cases here.

Just 2 random photos I took some time ago.

Hmm. ok the 2nd photo is kind of err. Well, I was just disgusted at seeing a cockroach in the jp toilet.

2009-04-29T21:31:00.003+08:00

I just read the report in the newspapers about the ugly incident that happened to quan yi feng. And of course, I went to read addy's blog too. Hai. I feel so appalled by how anyone can do such a thing to others. GRR! Even if there were miscommunications, I feel that yi feng should not have been asked to wear something which isn't even her measurements and then later scolded for wearing the beige gown at the wrong time. IT'S NOT HER FAULT! I'm all angsty right now. Adding on, the gown which was specially sourced by addy and plus the cartier jewellery which were supposed to be worn together with the gown were totally not worn at all for the star awards just because of like what addy said on his blog, someone just had to 为了个人名利 and make yi feng wear the first outfit at the starting of the show. And at the end, yi feng even had to apologise for really absolutely nothing.

And since, I'm quite an ardent fan of yi feng, I feel angered by the way she's being treated. Totally unacceptable. I hate it when people do things just for the sake of themselves and their "face" in this case.

And I'm so sad for both addy and yi feng. Really. sigh.
Addy, if you're reading this, don't feel 失败 anymore k? Cheer up! You were not the cause of the whole thing. I'm very very sure you already did your very best! Really! And everyone whom you styled that night shone brightly on stage. You have not failed!
And I'm really glad yi feng was able to get into the top 10 most popular female artistes. She still shone brightly despite the unhappiness backstage and gave the most touching speech of all! Gambatte yi feng! You have my support and of course, the support from all your other fans too!

2009-04-28T22:52:00.002+08:00

It's hardly a joke.

According to the latest news reports, about 1200 over people in mexico have been infected with the swine flu and 152 dead. Just within less than 2 days, the death toll rose from 68 to 152. Can you believe it?
The US, Thailand, Korea, Spain, Hong Kong, New Zealand, have also been affected.
The exact place of origin has not been found yet, though it's within Mexico, that's for sure.
Singapore, being an efficient country, has changed it's health safety zone from green to yellow. And of course, necessary precaution measures have been taken at the airport, in hospitals and schools.
Though the deaths due to swine flu is currently confined to the infected ones in Mexico, it would not be surprising at all when it happens to those in other countries too.

2009-04-28T18:44:00.002+08:00

I just read some celebrities' blogs. And I read david gan's also. Hmm, I think that the point he made in his post about the Star Awards is valid. 100% valid. He mentioned about journalists commenting about the wearing of short outfits being inappropriate for the awards. I feel that the outfits can be decided according to the season that's coming and the trend of the season too. That's outright nothing wrong with that at all.
Though I didn't read the reports, I suppose the one whom they commented about the short outfit should be zoe, our caldecott queen. Please, keep comments without any grounds to yourself and not write outrageous comments down in the newspapers. Her outfit in my opinion was not inappropriate at all, and in fact, it's gorgeously pretty. It's just different from the usual. And everyone of them were extremely gorgeous on sunday night thanks to their stylists, make-up artists and hairstylists. Everyone put in so much effort! So shoo if you don't like anything about it.

I can't stand the fact that people make baseless remarks about others, and most probably out of jealousness.
It has occurred to me too. When I had some things that some people do not have, they start talking behind my back and go around spreading rumours. Please grow up.

I'm really really really happy for them! Especially some of them whom I feel put in so much effort into the shows in the past year!
For han wei, chu ming and xiang yun, I felt especially emotional when their names were being read out! I don't know exactly why but tears started rolling out of my eyes. They were indeed the ones whom I think went all out for their roles, not just to act for their roles, but integrate themselves into the role itself.
And bryan! You're not so easily forgotten:) see, you "passed" the "examination" though you went missing almost throughout the year. :D:D

Okay, they had their turn, when would good news be mine? It's about time for my turn.
