Meet The Robinsons Movie

2007-04-02T20:03:00.000+08:00

Meet the Robinsons

This is truly a nice movie!!
The storyline is simple,
-Boy is looking for a family he can call his own.
-A great inventor.
-Dejected to be rejected by adportion parents interview many times now.
-Invents a memory scanner in the hope of searching for his mother.
-Stolen away by a villian from the future, which threatens to alter the future.
-A boy from the future came to help prevent it from happening.
-Etc.
-Ending: All ends well..

Why I recommend:
Because it lets you feel the feelings of the kids at orphange..
It shows the inventive spirit and a powerful force of motivation..
It teaches one to be happy & content with what we have now and not ask for more..
It is a very touching story about inner hearts of the orphans..

Rating: 4.5 StarZ

Signing outta,

YiAn PiN's Birthday CelebraTioN..!

2007-03-03T23:50:00.000+08:00

Today is my god-sister's birthday celebration..
Her actual birthday Date is tml..lol..
Kind of exciting to celebrate with her & other friends too..

Went with mark and my new-found friend: Jie Shang to Angela's Showcase..
We brought the album at the DragonFly door to obtain passes for the showcase.
Afterwhich, we queue for about an hour b4 the queue starts to move inside the door to the clubhouse..mAny young gals were there..They seemed very high when Angela came out..To sum it up, the showcase was okay lah..Took some pics though..heehee..

After the showcase, me, jie shang and mark meet up with my sister's gang (shi han, bee chin, christina, yian pin) as well as my current bunk mate, wen jie to dine and any other after-dinner activities..shopping n photo-taking n arcade..

It was suppossed to be a happy one..
but it turned out otherwise for me..
Nowadays, they seemed to linked me with Bao Qi..
Despite being mere 2wks after being rejected by her..
and they all know it!!..
It still kinda hurts when someone reminds me of her..
Asking me whether I still keep in touch with her..
Whether we can be together in future..
This & thaT & everyThing else about her..
*-Can you please leave me alone??!-*
I dun really wan to thinK about these right nOw..
It's suppossed to be a happy celebration for my sis but ends up
-getting grilled on the hot plate by frustrating questions- abouT her & me..
Although I managed to change topic as and when..
divert attention here and there..
act blur..pretend never hear anything..
Force a smile here & there for shots..
But deep down inside of me..
I know I am -empty-,-incomplete-,-lonely-!
I don't feel the NeeD to be reminded of these feelings..

After the celebration, each of us went home happily..
Me very happy that finally..at last..
-NO MORE- Bao Qi releated questions coming my way...

Ending the night with some -SaD- songs to lure me to dreamland..
May I get over iT real sooN..

Deathnote

2006-10-23T16:14:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, my section mates & some platoon mates come down to orchard area to celebrate for our Sgt Seow KT for his transfer to 'O' Coy.

We eat at Vil'lage, and went to play pool @ Cathay Cineleisure lvl 8's K Pool..
Had a fun-filled time..Yeah..

Watched Deathnote yesterday with Bao Qi & my brother @ Cathay Cineleisure..
The movie version & the manga verison is so different..why??
The movie version contains only Deathnote 1-3.

In the manga version:
-Light did not kill his girlfriend.
-Light kills the FBI's girlfriend after a second try b4 she made her case to L/police.
and whole lot of other differences..

Movie is nice..4/5 stars
However, it doesn't follow the manga strictly after book 1..
So I'm also not sure if it is suspossed to be like that..
Anyway, enjoy the movie & company =)

Went HongKong Cafe to eat dinner after the movie..
Had ying yong Iced, ha gao, siew mai, guo tie..
Tasted Bao Qi's soy milk and chee cheong fun..
The chee cheong fun doesn't really taste nice..
But the rest of the tim sum is tasty..yummy..

Thanks Bao Qi & didi for the company!

So definitely it's them that can be the SUPERBAND!!!

However the contenders are strong too..
So not too sure how tonight's outcome will be..
Especially since it is 100% selected by votes..
IT's too difficult to tell...
But I surely hope MLB will win..GoGoGo..Do Ya Best!!

What a Friday..

2006-08-04T23:57:00.000+08:00

OMG..had a slight headache this morning when I go for work..
Sigh..Still had to go..no choice..
Can't believe I left my mind at home today..

Forgot to tap card when I come to office..
And also nearly forgot to tap card when I go home..
Blur sotong of the day..wahaha..

Went to buy a watch..
Cost $15..
The seller say can let me know international time..
but then..
The seller dunno how to look at it..
I'm like..huh??
How can a seller sell things he dunno how to use??
Nevertheless..I brought the watch..
I'm determined to find out how to use the watch..
Yes..

But..

The watch is broken a couple of hrs after it was brought..
but the person who broke it offers to repair it..
So it's ok..
Small matter..
Anyway..It's only $15..Not $1500
haha..
Ppl muz learn to take things in their stride..

I wish i could be like that..

Gathering!!

2006-07-16T01:57:00.000+08:00

Woke up early in the morning, abt 6.30am,
to realize my msg inbox full yet again..
been trying to clear my inbox to no avail..
It was ZH asking me if I wan to join them dinner at marina bay tonight..
He msged me at ard 5am..LoL..

So I msged back that I will be there..
and went for my first ever morning jog (train for ns lah)..
But the weather isn't looking good..
Threatening to rain anytime in late afternoon..
Still..My colleagues(yong siong, zhi hao, benjamin, yee ting & fei long) wan to go escape theme park to play..
So, no choice..Jus went there lor..

Reach Escape at about 4pm like that..
Played viking, wet & wild and wall's revolution..
Many ppl queuing for the rides..
Wait for very long b4 our turn..
Revolution is the only ride I heaven played b4..
But it is so exciting..
Wahaha..I din scream at all!!!
Not that I wasn't frightened..
But becos, it was thrilling not SCARY..
get to see the machinery upholding us..
Wow..cool..practically see sky in spining motions..
din get dizzy..
but legs sure go abit numb..
wahaha..
The other rides are not thrilling at all..cos I already played till I get sick of them..
Leave my colleagues at abt 6pm so as to reach marina bay at 7pm..

Meet Zhi Huai, Teck Chin, Michelle, Yong Chia at marina bay mrt control station..
Everyone dressed nice nice..
Had steamboat at dragon boat instead of zeng fa..cos zeng fa is full house le..
The food there is not nice..one word to describe..Gross..
Drinks also quite ex..$1.50 per can..
But nevertheless..We managed to finish the balls we put inside the steamboat..
using zhong ji mi ma..(guess the number)..

After that, we went marina sq's hong kong cafe to drink n chat..
We only jus ordered our drinks n we got a bill with change..
It was an honest mistake..made by the waitress..
Then shortly after, we received the bill..
with a credit card..?!!
Yup, another mistake by the waitress..
It's either the waitress can't wait to drive us out OR she really blur like sotong..
Either way..There isn't a third wrong bill liao..sianZ..haha..(was expecting it)
We had some very interesting talk there abt funny blogs, creepy & interesting NS stories..Some other funny stories abt ppl in newspaper..etc..really enjoyed laughing lots..n lots..

Time strikes 1.30am n Teck Chin gotta go cos his father fetching him home..

Celebration for Bao Qi..& Me..

2006-06-24T22:03:00.000+08:00

Today is Bao Qi's Big Day..Her Birthday..!
Happy Birthday To Ya!!

Meet up with Bao Qi & Bee Chin to go k-box from 11am to 2pm..
but then..They stayed up late so overslept till 10am plus..
As usual, gals will need time to doll up so end up meet at 12pm at Douby Gaught MRT..
As I'm meeting my dear friend Mr Lai @ 2pm @ Orchard..
We decided to jus shop ard till 1.30pm then they go K-box while I go meet my friend..

So funny..I was shopping for a present for her..
But not knowing what to get her..So
I lied to her that I am buying a gift for someone who is of her build..
and need her to try out for me..
When the present is actually for her..
LoL..
But what happens is, she jus say..I heaven give u present yet lei..
Come, Try this tee..See fit anot..
What colour u like..dull tones right..blah blah..
Although I do get a gift in mind for her..
But she may not accept..due to the price..
Anyway, despite my persistent 'no', she still brought me a tee..
So, no choice, have to take it lor..

Feel sorry to make Mr Lai wait for so long at the control station..
when I promised him I will reach earlier than him..
Then Mr Lai persistently insist He foot the bill for lunch..
Which is very ex lor..
However, the food there is ok la..(Pai sei, not very accustomed to international crusine)
But the abalone is nice =)

After the food, we shop ard n make our way to cineleisure..
to buy tix..(Cars)
Along the way, we shop for sports Arm bands to stuff Lai's creative mp3 player..
but it seems he not sure which to get..

After the shopping ard..
We went to get snacks for the movie..
Queued for a long time b4 we get food..
But then..
The potato wedges i brought is cold!!
Moreover, I ask for chilli Sauce & got tomato sauce instead..
Nevertheless, it is still tasty..But would prefer pippin hot ones..

Miss abit of the starting..but it's ok la..
Jus pai sei that i block ppl watching it..
Overall, it's about 4-4.5 stars..
It revolves ard this rookie racecar who is arrogrant & thinks that he is the best in the world..
He feels that he can preform well without his team mates..
That is until he got lost on his way to chicago & come to the Radiator Springs..
It is a deserted town..due to route 40..the shortcut..
He was actually held in the town for speeding n damaging the roads..
So he was sentenced to repair the roads b4 he can head to chicago..
It was also during his time here, that he truly realized the meaning of working in a team =)
Alright, that's all I am gonna say..Go Watch it..

Last but not least,
Thanks Bee Chin, Bao Qi & Zhi Jie for the enjoyable Saturday at Orchard =D

Superman Vs Spiderman..

2006-06-22T22:20:00.000+08:00

Well..
Recently..Had this heated argument on superheros in the office..
Spiderman Vs Batman Vs Superman..
Cos these three are most common superheros that ppl associate with & liked..
So one colleague of mine & I were debating which is the fav among them...
I vote for spiderman..& he vote for superman..

To me..
Spiderman is a more believeable hero..cos..
1. He is human..(no offence/pun intended)
2. He can get hurt (Physically/Mentally)
3. He is an accidental hero (was a geek then)
4. He stick to his principles (With great power comes great responsibility...)
5. His first love died because of him, his uncle ben died becos of his actions too..

& why superman is not my hero..Cos..
1. He is an alien from outer space that resembles human form..
2. He can't get hurt easily (halo, man of steel lei..)
3. The only thing that can hurt him more than he hope for is Kryptonite his planet stone..(A Stone??!)
4. He doesn't hide his face (Vain, egoestic, or unrecognizeable without much disguise?)
5. His villains are so..Limited..& not very withstanding ones as in not strong enough to actually defeat him..

Well, I had my reasons for liking Spiderman..So do you have ur reasons for liking ur favourite superheros..No one superheros is perfect..& if that superhero is perfect..I think no one would likes it too...So, support ur superheros & stop saying which superhero is the BEST..!

Only then did I have a male companion..
Nevertheless..It was a really great day..
Had ice cream n some snacks together..
Then, we went pool at marina square..
Dinner at Yoshinoya @ marina square..

My Birthday!

2006-06-13T23:30:00.000+08:00

Well, today is my birthday..LoL..
Initially, I intend to treat my colleagues @ Comtech lvl 8 a cake..
But found that no matter wad time it is..
It is a bad timing to eat a cake..
Morning..Too early to eat cake..
Afternoon..Lunchy too full..cannot stuff cake inside anymore..
Dinner..Cake may already melted..!
Hence, did not get the cake to celebrate at office..
But jus distribute small packets of tibits around..

Last but not least..
I want to thank everyone who had wished me personally, sms-ed me or e-mailed me or sent me b'day cards or called me to express their wishes =D

Thanks colleagues @ Comtech : Ivan, Mas, Auntie, Alex, William, Wah Jie, Jon, Benjamin, Yong Siong, Yan Kun, Jun Ping, Mun Wai, Bobby, Raja, Ros, Andy, Sulha, Xiong, Sean, Wan Ying, Zhi Hao, Khan, Najuma, Zhang Xin, Fang Qi, Wei Hao, Michael, David, Ernest, Jia Yi, Jackson, etc....Especially Yee Ting & Leon for their red puppet..that resembles me..LoL..

And my friends who at some point of time remembered it is my birthday =)
Xian Qi, Wei Rong, Teck Chin, Bee Ting, Christina, Yian Pin, Patrick, Bee Chin, Stephanie, Priscilla, Benjamin, Zhi Hao, Yee Ting..

Wasn't planning anything at all..
Cos, thot I would be celebrating my birthday with myself again like last time..
But then, Yee Ting & Leon & Zhi Hao actually want to celebrate for me..
So we went & eat dinner @ Plaza Singapura's KFC fast food restaurant..
Then we went K-Box from 8 till 12am together with Yee Ting's friend, Fei Long..
Singing lots of hits & oldies..
& difficult -robbing breathe- songs..aka 'high key' songs..
Had a wonderful time really..Thanks guys..
Thank you all ppl..

Movie with colleagues & Edwin

2006-05-27T23:30:00.000+08:00

This is the first time I watch movie with my colleagues at ComTech..
Also the first time I watch movie with my friend, Edwin =)

Well, it turns out not quite to what I expected..
But nevertheless..Still alright..
Meet with William & Wah Jie for pool @ 4pm @ Lucky Plaza..
However, we started later than that..
Finished the game at a later time too..

Original plan was meeting every1, all the 8 of us at plaza singapura for dinner..
But my friend Edwin & Jon eat at home..
Then Ernest & Andy ate thier dinner in the cinemas..
In the end, only me, William, Wah Jie & Yong Siong eat @ Burger King..
A rush dinner but at least better than nothing..
Andy make it to find us, but he took dinner in cinema..

After dinner, we make a rush to meet Jon, Ernest, Edwin @ the Grand Cathay...
Ernest & Jon outside of Cathay & Edwin @ lvl 6 of Cathay..
The seating arrangement was quite free & easy =)
Fortunately no quarrels abt it..

Was only too glad to realize I watched more trailers than I expected..
Yeah..The only time I watched more than 2 trailers at Cathay cinema halls..
Tml, Will rate the X-Men 3 movie..

2006-03-13T10:20:00.000+08:00

This has been a really enjoyable week...

Wednesday (8th march)
Met up with my sis, yian pin and some sec 4 friends, christina, Bee chin, Bao Qi and their new friend mark to celebrate for my sis b'day..@ SenToSa...

Wow, sentosa has changed so much liao...
It totally look like a city..
Pardon me, but it looks too developed to be called an island anymore...
There's practically a building a stone's throw away form any part of the sentosa...
Does an island have so many buildings? It should be a city!
LoL, anyway, there are still developments underway..

We hang out most of our time at beach..
Have about an hour of bike cycling..
Then we have a pinic..
The food spread was so wide..
Delicious n yummy chicken wings..
Mouthwatering fruits n potato&ham salad..
Ever-essential water & soft drinks..
Yummy...
But we were to full, so had to resort to games to finish all hte food brought and prepared.

Took a lot of pics on the beach too..
Yea...Cool..!
Played card games & some of us bladed..
Have a ride of go kart..
Watched 4D movie..
Played UNO games at Musical fountain..
LoL...We were LOUD there..
But we stopped playing when the show started..wahaha..
Hope we aren't being a disturbance there..

The fountain show was splendid..
It is not too historical like last time..
It is also not too low-tech like then..
In fact, it has imroved tremendously..
Nice, Nice..

When the show ended, we went to harbourfont centre to eat..
Ok, some eat, while others played..
Wass introduced to the 'stressful' game called snap..
Everyone of us are totally crazy over it..
or crazy by it..
LoL...
We even played till the kopitiam closed!
haha..then we each head home by MRT or bus..
Yian Pin really enjoyed the day!

Sat & Sun (11 & 12th march..)
Openhouse of NTU, NUS, & SMU..
I went to SMU & NUS with Christina, Bao Qi, Yian Pin, Bee Chin and Mark..
LoL..
The underground link @ SMU is airconditioned..
with shops along the way..
and atms too..
Couldn't get to see the classrooms and all..
not even the library..
However, we did collect alot of leaflets n information on the courses..

NUS campus is big..
Practically need to take bus..if not u can walk till crazy..
wahaha..But it was interesting..cos got my course..lol, pharmacy..
Sigh, i think i still regret my decision not to apply for NUS pharmacy..
At least can try la..
Hmmm..but then i not sure if i got the capability too..
Heard you do not need interview to get in..
just grades..great..but my gpa not that fantastic too..wahhaa..
But my passion does lies in the medicine industry..

Sun evening (James B'day Celebration)
Actually his birthday is on 27th march but he brought it forward becos one of his friend, guo hao is going for his NP commitments on tues (14th march)..
Anyway, its cool to see all of them again..
Although we only kow each other but never once talk to each other..
It's great to see guo hao again..
had been classmates for 1 year..
been cca together for close to 4 years..
and i always treat him & ee siang(another one librarian very close) like brothers like that..
Yea, i know we all different classes but we are still brothers k..
haha..but i didn't got his contact num since sec 4..
So we kinda lost touch..sad sad..but glad we finally meet up again =)
Really glad that James enjoyed his birthday despite the -birthday punishment-
usually meted out for guys...

CNY...

2006-01-31T12:29:00.000+08:00

It's been an interesting CNY for me..
The eve of CNY, I spent watching TV...
On CNY Day 1, I still spent it wathcing TV,
but with a bit of visiting of my grandfather (mum side) at a home.
After that, my aunt, my brother and I went to cinema to watch
-I Not Stupid Too- @ Century Square.

Oh man..It was So touching..
I practically shed tears from start till end of film...
Although in-between there were laughs..
What movie magic Jack Neo really has huh?
It is really a must-watch flick man..
About the parent-to-children gap, delinquency, etc..
And the child actors also grow more handsome already yo..
Wahaha..But their acting is still so good!
Wish I can watch it again if I really had the time..
Anyway, it's 4.5 stars out of 5.

CNY Day 2, rotting in front of Tv, 8 Days & First Magazine..
Totally forgotten about work & project..

CNY Day 3, today..
Intent to work hard on project that has been severely, lagging behind my SIP..
Jia You Lo...!

I would like to thanks all who had wishes me a wonderful new year..
And may I hereby, wish all of you a wonderful new year too.
Also, thanks my very good friend, Edwin Shi for his CNY card..Thanks Dude!
To all whom I had called, or had called me to wish happy CNY, U are Wonderful too!

On-Campus Discussion 2..

2006-01-08T10:52:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I can see all my friends @ TP again..
Yeah..So cool..
But then..It wasn't this part of the day that maketh my mood for this day..
Instead it was the actual interview with my LO, Wallace Lim..
That maketh my mood for the day turn drastically to a very moody n frustrated mood..

How nice of him to ask me my progress of the project..
And then setting -traps- for me fall into..
After pulling me out, dug an even deeper hole for me to fall in..
Nice, Nice, NICE..
It's beyond me to say anything now..
Can only say, I think I am going for a system breakdown..(it's me, not my computer!)
Anything can set me straight again gotta be that MP is FINISHED n I PASSED!
But now is too early to say all these..
Even finishing it is a problem now..

Perhaps, I should have think more carefully before I answer any of his equally scary questions.
It's like the answer u give cannot be undone kind..
So if u dun think carefully, u drive urself to a dead-end, aka like me..
Time is already not on my side..But what he wants me to do is to do more than what I think I can manage..Time n Theory..

Drving myself to a dead-end with no recourse back to where I have started, I can only hope to break down the wall at this dead-end and found a new -live- route to SUCCESS..

To myself:
blame no one but my own foolishness n hope all turns out well for me..
GooD LucK!

Wish those struggling with MP ppl and near completion of MP ppl, All The Best For Ya Major Project..From The Bottom Of My Heart!!

New Year's Day

2006-01-01T16:41:00.000+08:00

Just realized I heaven been blogging for a long long time...
Perhaps really too slag to write online after so many days working..
Occassionally do OT to get my task finish up..LoL..

Been having a lot of happy thots during the past two months of non-blogging..
Saw a lot of ppl on streets while I was shopping n going home from work..
But the best part gotta be the x'mas gathering whereby Nan Kai, Pei Shan, Mervin, Wei Xiong, Chin Eng n Rebecca come together n ate a wonderful n delicious dinner @ Suntec City's Sakae Sushi..Though we waited a long time for seats but we did enjoy the time we share there..LoL..Even saw Li Wei n Wei Ling @ Suntec City..

NS Check-Up..

2005-11-10T22:00:00.000+08:00

Today, I took a day off work..Despite not bearing to..Due to the amounts of work waiting for me in the lab...Sigh, still have to take cos NS more impt..

Appointment is at 9am..CMPB..
So I thot I can reach earlier if I take train at 7:55am..
Reach the Redhill MRT station at about 8:10am..
Took the bus 145 to CMPB bus-stop..
Then realized I have to cross the bridge..
Walk about half a loop to the front of the door to get into the CMPB building..
What the heck??! The tall wall fence surounding the CMPB, DSTA N DTT buildings together..Thanks ah, Make me walk all the way to the front..

Fortunately I still reach a tad earlier than 9am..
Though the info counter staff is polite, the other counter staff is not at all..NOT AT ALL...
Anyway, the procedure is to collect a pink form from the info counter staff, take photo, then submit the pink form n ur health survey to the unfriendly staff at the other counter..
Thereafter, u wait for them to call out ur name..

As I was going alone..
I am a bit scare n my group of about 8ppl were unfamiliar to each other..

There are a total of 6 stations in all..
I first went for hearing test, then dental check-up, eye test(colourblindness, myopic-ness) then lab test (blood group n urine test), x-ray (lung x-ray, presumeably check for lung disease such as lung cancer) then physical examination..

Hearing Test: Sit in a ultra quiet room...Put the headphones on n listen carefully for different frequencies of monotones..All sounding like mosquito buzzing in various frequencies...then depending on which ear u heard the sound/noise, raise up the corresponding hand..Eg: If u hear the sound in ur left ear, raise ur left hand..

Dental Check-up: A dentist will check ur teeth and after the check-up, u may go to the next station..Strangely though, when she was checking me, she say something like 825U..(dun understand what she saying) then later she tell me to go into this room whereby they took an x-ray of my teeth..Great, what's wrong with my teeth now?? Can ya tell me??

Eye-test: Read aloud a few numbers from the pattern-ed colour dotted..Cover left eye n read the row third from the bottom, change to right eye..Ok, pass me ur specs..Ok, next station please...

Lab Test: Test ur urine using Bayer Test strips..To check for diabetes etc..Then test blood group by pricking ur middle finger cos its the finger u are most unlikely to use it..n perhaps have the most blood flow??

X-Ray: Remove ur shirt and line up in a row, waiting for entry into the x-ray room..Once inside..Position ur torso against the x-ray machine..
When everything is ok, take a deep breathe n hold it..n the x-ray is taken..

Physical examination:
Got 4 sections: Height n weight, blood pressure, hear beat n physical examination..

Height n weight:
Take off shoes n go the weight & height unit to take ur height n weight..Advanced-Tech it is, it can calculate the BMI..n mine (BMI: 17.5) is way below healthy standards..Wahaha..Just knew it..

Blood Pressure:
Roll up sleeves and put ur right arm into the machine such thet it squeezes ur biceps muscles..Then press the button to begin..It works just like a normal low tech blood pressure mercury based equipment..

After that, go take a key n sign n deposit ur belongings (include shoes) into the locker n LOCK ur locker..Take out ur medical reports if any..Opps, forget to mention, take off ur shirt n pants (long), or strip to ur underwear n store inside the SMALL locker..

Heart Beat:
Lie on a bed and they attach a funny sort of equipment on ur torso and add clips to ur leg muscles..Relax n breathe in and out as per normal for the reading to be accurate..

Physical Examination:
Take a queue number and wait for ur turn..
When it is ur turn, take ur file n medical records (if any)..and proceed to the examination room..

The person inside, supposed should be a guy usually..
would be asking u questions like any tatoos, smoking habbits n homosexaulity..Besides these, he would look thru ur health survey n check them with u..Thereafter, he would tell u to go to a spot in the same room n bend down to touch ur toes..Then he would tell u to strip naked n cover ur mouth n make a coughing sound..After that, u're done..Dress up n leave that room..
Ironically, it is also the room that determines if u're a pest A or B or others (A-F)...Pest as in similar to grade A or B..

After finishing, unlock ur belongings n dress-up n return the key..
Then, give the file to the staff there..They'll call ur name shortly..
After ur name is called, they will tell u if u're a pest A or B or others (A-F)..Then u're required to go to a computer room to start a about 2hr long test..BE WARNED: If is both tiring to the eyes n brain..

The questions asked in the test range from following long-winded n sometimes confusing instructions to simple algebra and arithmetic problems (yea right?!) to number sequence to logical patterns to physics to object rotation, etc..All of which is time-based..N problem is the time given is usually not enuff to do the questions posted..How nice..!

After the test, u are again required to take a about 1 hour long MCQ test..
Now, ur hands starts to get tired too..The circles to be shaded are so many..about 18 pages..The questions are based mainly on NS, SAF, ur viewpoints, ur family n friends viewpoints on NS n SAF, ur strengths n shortcomings..After the completion of the surey, U may go =) Yes, FINALLY!!! The whole ordeal took about 4 hours or so..Believe me, u feel a bit tired after the day's events..

Movie: Oliver Twist

2005-11-10T21:50:00.000+08:00

This adaption of the book by Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist, follows the story written by Charles Dickens.

It tells the tale of a young orphan who was being abused in the workhouse and was sent to work in another place, a funeral parlor..and how he later escape to London and got involved with a gang of pickpockets. He escaped from them when he realize they are a bad company. However, they still managed to catch him...and continued to make him do all sorts of bad things. Good will always triumph over evil.

The boy who played Oliver Twist is so adorable n has a very melancholic face. He played the character very well. The setting is just like the story depicted. Nice movie. I would give 4 out of 5 stars!

Sunday (06 Nov 05)

2005-11-06T10:15:00.000+08:00

Sundays are usually the days when I read The Sunday Times n The New Paper fully..As in Most parts of the newspaper..

Perhaps I really am too emotional already..
The news that Paris is having riots now really caught me by surprise..
Isn't it supposed to be a romantic n peaceful city??
It used to give me this kind of feeling..
To tell the truth, I really can't stand watching anything that is not world peace..like wars, riots n natural disasters..
I just hope that Paris and the other parts of the world can learn to live in harmony and understanding..

=WiN=

SighZ!

2005-11-06T10:07:00.000+08:00

I have not blogged for about two weeks already..
But I still kinda enjoy what I'm doing now..
That is blogging..LoL..

This week has been pretty good n terrible..
Good as in I have extra days off work due to holidays..
But terrible as in I know I have a pile of work to finish as soon as I get back to work..Terrible as it may sounds, but I'm actually glad that at times, my mentor (Jin) and colleagues (Patricial, Prathsha, etc) help me do some of my work..Thanks lotz ppl..

Anyway, I hope to sent the proposal to him asap..
Dun want to make him upset further becos of our proposal..

Wish everyone will have a better week ahead!
Cya @ TP on Sat (12 Nov 05) then..Take CareZ..

November's Chopin

2005-11-04T22:23:00.000+08:00

I brought November's Chopin 十一月的萧邦(Jay Chou's latest album)

Sadly, It seems abit sad now..
The songs in the album are mostly related to fall n winter season..
Of coz these are the romantic songs, which is the main reason why I brought it..It makes me sad just by listening to the song lyrics..The music adds to the element of sadness...

I wonder why, but usually, it is not so sad one..
Like 晴天..so nice n not very sad one..
The 1st hit from the album: 夜曲 is about a song written for a dead girlfriend who he loves deeply..Though I couldn't catch most of the part he singing, the lyrics is ever so beautifully written..

The other song：一路向北,
is also another sad song from the movie Initial D...

They say the song is not sad unless you are sad..
So am I really just too emotional, or am I really sad right now??
Not sure which is the one I am feeling now..
But my current fav song is track 3: 发如雪 and track 6: 枫..
No idea why, but the music n lyrics really complement each other n brings out the feelings..Track 6 is the really sad song that can make me really sad..

I would give this album a 4 out of 5 stars..
For it really is a nice album n YY would really like it..
Perhaps it's her influence on me that cause me to feel like this..
But no matter what, this is really a very nice album, especially the sad romantic songs...

WeekendS..haha...

2005-10-23T22:16:00.000+08:00

Wow...
What a wonderful weekend it must have been this time round..

Saturday:
I was practically hoping from here to there..
First, I went to Aljunied MRT station n I saw my sec school friend there..Kinda forgotten her name but she sure has grown prettier...
Almost couldn't recognize her..Wahaha..Sorry about that..

Then I went to Bugis alone and while I was there, I called up Priscilla to know if she free later on, apparently, she got a kind of meeting with friends so I thot I just shop on my own n wish her enjoy the day..

Then I saw Xiao Hui (My Sec Junior Vice-head Librarian)..She also look prettier liao...Oh man, I also couldn't recognize her liao..Haha...She was shopping at Bugis with a friend, but I chatted with her like for too long a time till her friend got a little angry n walk to Suntec without her..Sorry about that Xiao Hui n Friend...

Feeling bored that Bugis is small, I made my way to Orchard n shop from Heeren to Takashiyama..There, I met Swee Chin who was shopping for her logbook..and then as we made our way to Kinokuniya at level 3, we saw Zhi Huai (Sec sch friend)...He was with his brother I think..Haha, didn't take note until he tap on me..haha...Pai sei dude..My eyes always dunno look where one..Always failed to see u all..Haha..Gotta hang out when free k!!!

As Swee Chin has to meet her friend at City Hall, I stay n shop at Kino...Didn't brought any sudoku puzzle book cos i think my interest for it will go away soon...So no point buying..Instead brought a little green 2006 Organiser which cost a little on the pricey side...

Then, I made way to Bugis n met my didi, Lionel, for dinner..He is so fussy...He wants to eat cheap while my stomach growls like a hungry wolf...He just wouldn't settle for restaurant fare even when I agree to pick up the tabs for it (cos the restaurant I pass thru got empty seats..)..How determine he is huh?

Finally, we settle on KFC n ate hungrily there...Then we proceed to Brass Basah Complex to go the Popular bookshop..But it was closed for washing of floors..So I suggest we go Raffles City to shop..N after that, My didi got huge craving for arcade fare n we went Marina Square to statisfy it..Thereafter, We went to Esplanade Tunnel n took pictures..Especially the one that says, Chapter 7: Was I Here?..
There's a Square that is marked on the floor for people to stand there n took pictures..Yeah, I agree, no one took pictures there when I was there..But I really want to took a pic there, so my didi help me took it..LoL..Thanks ya..Thought the pic look blur..It's ok..! But I was too shy to take it when people pass by..So I choose the time when almost no one saw it, then I quickly posed n took a pic...haha..So the funny it is man..
Anyway, after taking the other pics of the exhibition at the tunnel, we went home..So That's about all I did on saturday..

Sunday:
WellZ..Not much to say, other than that I need to think what to hand up to my LO on monday..Plus heaven inform him I will be handling in the title n synopsis late..Ops...!

Lunch with Family @ Mac near my house n saw my sec sch friends(Wee Cheng, Dexter, Michelle n Yew Peng)..
Haha..So long no see liao..
Then after we finish lunch, I went over to chat with them..
Seems like they are very cheery today..
Chat about alot of things n learn a few new stuff about my friends..
However, I dunno if I can still chat with them next time due to my major project starting liao..Proposal n all that stuff..Think will be rather difficult..

Nevertheless, I enjoy the short time to chat with u all..
Enjoy LotX.. n Hope We get to gather one day n chat or chill..

Week 3 n 4 @ Wyeth..

2005-10-15T08:21:00.000+08:00

Life has been good at QC Micro Lab..
Where I was attached to..
Although I still carry on my -A mistake a day- routine..
Sometimes more than a mistake a day...
The people there only told me off..Not shout or scold me..
But at least I tried to remember what they said n take note not to do that mistake again..Haha..

Am quite proud that I can do raw material stuff abit faster than I first learn the ropes..
But then, the real problem is in-process stuff now..
Been at it for 2 weeks now, but I still got a bit confused...
Just realized I hand up the form for review with some missing details..
Hopefully, they find out...Or else auditor come on wednesday then jia liat..

Been lunch-ing with Tim n Adeline @ Wyeth oftenly..
I have to apologized that sometimes (ok, most of the time =o)
they have to wait for me to finish work b4 we have lunch together..
But I really enjoy it man..It was fun having lunch mates like u all..Haha..Sometimes we lunch with PT ppl too like Sze Han, Elvin, Swee Chin, Wee Leng..Too bad we can't lunch with Xiaoting n Jocelyn cos they ate lunch early..But I sure hope we get a chance to eat at one big long table..That would be wonderful!!!!
Ain, Hadfizoh n Hidiaya are fasting this month so they didn't lunch or breakfast with us..

Hadn't try eating lunch with Micro Lab ppl...
But they seem friendly to accept us for lunch I guess..
Cos the first week already invite us to eat together..
But cos we not very familiar with them..Plus we already arrange with ppl to eat together..We give it a miss..Seems like they enjoy eating lunch together...n also share food too..like tibits, chocolates..etc...
Ahhh..How nice...

And special thanx to some Micro Lab ppl for helping me..
If not, I may not be able to complete most of the urgent stuff..
Thanx lotx to: (Not in Order of Importance)
Jin for her relentless teaching n reminder not to make mistakes n only told me off lightly when I do make one;
Poh Ewe(ex-supervisor) for giving us orientation stuff to go thru on our own during leisure time;

Patrick's Birthday Party..

2005-10-08T23:50:00.000+08:00

Together with Priscilla, Michelle n Stan, we went to Patrick's 21st Birthday party...I was quite lost initially as I have never walk so long a stretch of road before..haha..But it was really long..
Along the way, several taxis drove past us..
We figured that are guest to Patrick's party...
Then we saw at the end of the stretch of road a beautifully decorated 3-storey terrance house with ballons n all..
I knew this was it..
But the others still want to confirm abit..
So I went up to check the address..haha..

There was a buffet there, filled with delicious food..
We saw Patrick n pass him the presents we brought for him n well-wishings first..Then he invite us to eat the buffet..

Got to know quite a lot of people there..
Even saw my Sec sch Senior librian there..
I could recognized him, but can't recall where..
Haha..I only know this info when we share Taxi together back here..

The party has a few couples but generally, the others are just like me, Single..Michelle suggest we play animal game to while away our time..
So we sort of gather together to play..As time pass, more n more people join in the game..

I being a slow learner, lost the first few rounds..
Penalty is to drink one cup of red wine or strange concotions..
But since I heaven started to -drink- yet..
They say I only have to drink one sip will be enough..
haha..that is ok =)
Strange thing is, I used to mix grape juice with red wine to drink it..
but now, I can take the wine just like that..
as usual, dun like the aftertaste of wine (bitter n warm my throat)..
but I learnted a good trick n that is to observe each ppl carefully..
n when it is ur turn to play..
just concentrate on one or two person will do..
I kept on doing the fish action becos the person posing as fish is directly in front of me n can see clearly what I do n also the action I can do without making much decision..so she won't forfeit..
I really not trying to make her forfeit ya..
But can tell she got annoyed I kept passing my turn to her..
LoL..I really am sorry..

Patrick cut the cake n his mum distribute it to us..
Really wonderful taste..heeZ..
enjoy the cake though I was sabo-ed to take two pieces..Haha..
We continued the animal game till it was quite late..
Patrick's sister drove us to the nearest mrt station n from there we take Taxi home..Thanks, Patrick's sister!

Enjoyed myself LotX

Week 2 @ Wyeth..

2005-10-01T10:17:00.000+08:00

Hee..It's not supposed to be play time at Wyeth already..
But every single day i still make mistakes..
Some minor n some major ones..
Like not putting on facemask when handling samples..
Forget to do this n that..
Sigh..Not sure y..
But i really do know these stuff..Y did i forget?? hmm..

Anyway, i went back to TP on Monday..
To give Mr Ko the photos i burned into a CD-RW..
Haha, chat with Mr Ko for quite a long time..
N Rebecca call me to speak to Mr Ko..LoL..
Anyway, was glad that I went there..
Cos his last day @ TP is on 12th Oct..
If i go find him after that, then i can't find him liao..
Anyway, it was nice to chat la..
But was quite tired when i got home..
It has been like this ever since I started working at Wyeth..
Not only me, the other ppl got sent to Wyeth also seem to have this problem..We sometimes sleep b4 10pm..
i actually sleep at exactly 11pm or sometimes earlier than 10pm..
Just very tired after work..Maybe not used to it yet...

Did not do much interesting stuff anyway..
Same old routine work every single day..Sian..
But at least it's something i know how to do..LoL..
Quite easy i would say..
Assuming i dun go BLANK...

Oh ya..One big change..
Timothy is now assigned to QC - Micro Lab (Pathogen Lab)

2005-09-22T21:30:00.000+08:00

Been too busy to drop a note on my progress @ Wyeth..
Sigh..Been home quite late n tired every single day..
I still heaven found out the cause..
But i think it has something to do with my waking n sleeping hours..
I wake up @ 4.52am everyday to prepare for bus @ 5.32am near my house..
Unwillingly to wake up but still have to..
Nevertheless..Been enjoying my time @ Wyeth..
Basically, These 4 days have been quite slack n fun..
Have a lot of SOP reading..
cGMP training on some aspects..

Been to Micro Lab today..
It was fun to learn some interesting facts..
Actually, the original plan of the head of dept was:
Ain: Raw Material SAmpling
Hafidoh: Culture n Media
Me: Pathogen Lab

But, the head of dept give us chance to choose, n it turned out:
Ain: Culture n Media
Hafidzoh: Pathogen Lab
Me: Raw Material Sampling

So she said, ok..
N i was assigned to Raw Material Sampling..
It wasn't too bad..
Got much to learn n documentation is a definite YES!!!
So cGMP rules applies to the documentation..
and so me n my supervisor agreed that cGMP is troublesome..LoL..
Seriously speaking..It is very stressful date entrying..
according to cGMP regulations as well as other cGMP requirements..
Will work hard to Memorise n abide it faithfully..

It's been fun going on cGMP training, lunch, breakfast, SOP reading with
Timothy, Adeline Yap, Xiao Ting, Jocelyn, Ain, Hafidzoh, Sze Han, Swee Chin, Elvin, Wee Leng n Hidaya..
Thanks for the -IQ- games we shared together..
It was fun riddling out the way these games are played..
Till next time..Take care everybody..Will share more next time..

Sleepy n tired me..

So, it will be my very first attempt at twitching HTML massively..
Twitch quite alot of stuff in the background already..

2005-09-07T22:31:00.000+08:00

Actually, i read this book early in the morning at about 8am..
The portable door by Tom Holt..
It is rather funny and i almost forgot that i wanna surprise priscilla by popping by to join her for lunch..
but ends up, i have to call her for lunch appointment instead..
becos i almost can't make it..
Sigh, there goes the element of surprise..
But i enjoyed the lunch at Yoshinoya..
Haha..
didn't know it was so nice to eat there..
perhap it was my first time thats why..

After lunchy, she bring me to her workplace..
It's actually at HSBC level 3..
And the security guard is there..
Funny thing is, only i need to scan IC,
she no need to scan card..
Why so special sia??

Anyway, got to her work area..
And she was so serious when she works..
That aside..She provides so much comic relief for me..
She seems to like promoting stuff (eg: mooncakes)...
and everyone likes to find her to chat at some point of time..
The drinks is oso very cheap..20 cents per cup..Can't believe it!
Thanks for the treat of lemon tea..
Should have said two cups for me..LoL..

Got to know her colleague, faz..
also a TP student (Biz)
friendly n cheerful n serious at work..
Also got to introduced by Priscilla to some of her male colleagues inside the company..Raymond, Vincent, Zion..
And they are all supposed to guess my age..
Sigh...Cos priscilla made them guess..
But they are so friendly..
And special thanks to Zion, for helping me buy the drink..Kudo dude..

Sitting at the area for a few hours...
Make me envious of the ppl there..
Aww..The long-sleeve shirt really looks good on the guys man..
Seriously..But i nvr once look good in long-sleeve shirt..Sigh..
That's what i always felt..
Though ppl say i look good in it..
I can't really agree with it myself..
Sigh, i seriously lack CONFIDENCE....
HaiZ...I turned people watcher for today..

=WiN=

Or at least that's what everyone hopes..
Please no more retest for any of us..
We all looking forward to fun time now..

After today's DPP exam..
Which most of us expend all our energies to our pityful hands..
That settled..We spend about an hour deciding where to go next..
Finally, settled on lunch at burger king n K-Box at tampines..

So, me, xian qi, gladys, xiao ting, jocelyn, adeline yap n mervin went burger king to eat..
While xian qi went to meet up with her BF,
the rest of us went to K-Box...

6 of us..and they gave us a crammpy room next to kitchen initially..
So sian, complained some of us..
I nvr understand y..haha..but i guess cos the kitchen is noisy n smelly ba..
So we were quite happy to get a bigger room (K5) for the 6 of us..
Can even tune the brightness of the light..so good..
But strange thing is..The tune of the songs were funny initially..
But some of us manage to tune it right..Kudos ppl..
Then shortly after, the microphone is spoilt..
Wad a spoiler..I actually had to sing without mic..
Lucky got audio, so not so bad..

Belted out countless hits & -number-s from the six of us..
谢谢大家。。think all of us sang well..okok..
maybe i was a poor singer....Sob sob..LoL..
Applause for everyone...

Actually, i secretly recorded some of the parts of the songs..
But i dun think can play .amr files here..

Eh, i admit most are mine la..haha..

27/8 - 30/8: A Summary..

2005-08-30T18:09:00.000+08:00

27/8 (SaT):
Was supposed to study for DDCT TT2 on monday..
but somehow was distracted..Loss of interest..
Got an invite to a church play at kallang..
Was supposed to go with my didi..
But in the end, i just not feel like going due to an upset in mood earlier on..
So when my two friends, Patrick n Priscilla call me out for fun..
I drop everything n just went to get rid of my bad mood..
Had dinner at KFC with Priscilla n met her friend Aaron..
Shan't comment much..
But he sure looks a great deal better when smiling..Hee..
Then Patrick arrives n we hang around while Priscilla n Aaron talk..
When they finish talking, we wondering what to do when Patrick suggest we watch movie..
So we chiong to the tix booth n grab 4 tix for Red Eye...
Miss a bit of the movie when we reach the cinema hall..
But that is ok..Not exciting yet..Haha..
It is supposed to be a thriller..or sort of..
I was not very glued to my seat until the end of it..
I must say the middle part is exciting, but not thrilling enuff for me..
Anyway, shan't say plot of movie..Too long to explore it..
Ending is very good n happy..at least no tears for me..YeA..
thanks Patrick, Priscilla n Aaron for watching the movie together..
Extra Thanks to Patrick n Priscilla for ya -All the best- msgs..
Would do my best de..

28/8 (SuN):
I spend my whole day working on DDCT..
And man, my revision is still not done yet..
Xian Qi msg to say she started on PMT already..
Man, adding stress to my under-rated revision..
Though i try to chiong my DDCT revision, it was still so slow..
Maybe due to distraction from hunger(my mum buying KFC for me, but will be back only after 3pm later..So i forgo my lunch..) , constant distraction after evening (stupid TV showing so many darn good programmes now..) and fatigue (ZZzz..wanna sleep..)..
Finally finish my first revision of DDCT at about 12plus..

29/8 (MoN):
Wake up early to do revision again..
Then reach sch n chiong revision for DDCT yet again..
The paper was manageable..
But i always have the nagging feeling that I'll fail the paper..
Sometimes it comes true, sometimes it don't..
Well, i have the feeling i might not do well for it..
But then again..How do i know?? Good Luck paper..
Hope u get marked by Mrs Angela Moghe, the lenient marker..Hee..
Start my revision on PMT for tml's paper...
But doesn't seem quite right..
Not concentrating again..
Y?
Cos i fall ill le..Sob sob..=(
Got Flu, n sore throat..
Sigh..
Retire early to bed with no effort being made to study PMT..
Leave it for tml 4am to chiong..

30/8 (TueS):
Took two 4mg chlorphenamine tablets b4 going to sleep..
The common flu drug docs prescribe to ppl..
Still, when i wake up..
My nose was blocked..thought it was cured..until..
a few hours later my nose becomes -runny- again..
Sigh..Shouldn't it have worked since i took two tabs??!

Went to sch early..but heaven really finish the revision..
Running nose all the way...
Saw Nan Kai at the table revising too..
He is running nose too..Sigh..
These days, ppl always get sick..
-Recover soon from all illness ppl-

We were discussing what can come out for granulation..
The highly -blocked- n disinterested topic of PMT..
Was spot-on actually..But i didn't make the effort of memorising it..
Cos i always dun believe in the questions i spot..
n it always come out..
Then when i believe it will come out..
It almost always not come out..SianZ..
make a few spot-ons actually..But shan't boast about it here...haha..

PMT paper was rather manageable..
Dunno why..Maybe cos i got study this time instead of the previous two times..
Anyway, i expecting borderline pass or fail..
So hope it is a borderline pass n above..Shoot above 30 if posible..LoL..

PA2 tml lo..
Somehow i began to fear it again..
Cos i always dun have time to do all questions..
Like who can do it within the time he stated?? Siao ah?
Surely need to skip some questions to do others..
Wonder what question(s) i will be skipping tml..?
And it is also the only paper i stick to using pen throughout..
Y? Cos practically no time to switch from pencil to pen lah..
Hope the paper isn't a killer...
I have fail far too many PA2 quizes to make up for it..
So i Pray, let this be good..good enuff to make me pass my PA2 in all..
Hope to get a C+ for this..Really hope so..
-Cross fingers n pray hard for a manageable PA2 paper-

PS: Tried my best to keep it real short =D

闭上眼默念3遍 Call My Name - 183CLUB/7朵花

2005-08-27T14:55:00.000+08:00

《闭上眼默念3遍 Call My Name - 183CLUB/7朵花》

閉上眼默唸3遍
插曲:183club+7朵花
中文詞:柯呈雄
詞曲:jaimes/saxon/cavanagh,ronan/wright,andrew

希望你理解愛上你有多難
像童話裡的故事可惡的安排
明明兩個人都相愛卻偏偏遇阻礙
非得讓人痛徹心扉才能證明愛存在

我們如何找到出路通往愛的國度

閉上眼默唸三遍
call my name 我就出現
有時候寂寞難掩像不醒的夢靨
閉著眼數了三遍
你應該要出現但你卻又食言讓我看不見

如果你能明白這場相愛有多難
像童話中的傀儡口是心非
以為你找到了幸福我卻感到好無助
只能笑笑去祝福偷偷掉著淚

我們拼命想找出路通往愛的國度

閉上眼默唸三遍
call my name 我就出現
有時候寂寞難掩像不醒的夢靨
閉著眼數了三遍
你應該要出現但你對我食言不在我身邊

永遠究竟多麼遙遠為何我總無緣無法好好體驗
愛不像你跟我說的簡單像許個願

閉上眼默唸三遍
call my name and i'll be there
有時候寂寞難掩像不醒的夢靨
閉著眼數了三遍
你應該要出現但你對我食言不在我身邊

但你對我食言不在我身邊

=WiN=

PS:
This is my current fav song lyrics..
Really nice n touching..Sigh..
But sounds a little sad..
Everytime after listening to it, will sadden my mood for a while..
So do beware of its effects..
Oh..And if u wan sing this song at K Box..
Look under 7朵花..then u can find it..
Haha..LoL..

The question has come to resurface..

2005-08-27T10:59:00.000+08:00

The question has come to resurface..
-Can one live life to the fullest without love?-

As usual, in ponderness n searching for love..
After each unsucessful trial for love..
We becum a little dispare..(or alot)
A little disappointed..(or alot)
But strange thing is..
We keep on going on the trial for it..
And I keep asking myself..
Can I live my life to the fullest without love?
Till now, no answer has been found..
But no matter wad..I learnt a few things..
from my recent trial..

If u have been doing so much for someone..
and you dun think u did quite get a response from them..
There's only two conclusion..
They dun know about it..
OR they are pretending not to know about it..
The only way to know..?
Ask..Is all I can think of..

Thanks YY, for giving me a direct answer..
n not beating around the bush..
I really appreciate the honesty n truth..
No worries about me, really..
Whether we like it or not..
The world still spins..
Day still change to night..
Time still ticks..
Water still flows..
So there is really nothing wrong with it..
What I really must do now is to be prepared
for the TT2 and DPP exam..
All the best for TT2 & DPP exam to Each n Everyone of my friends..
Becos u're here..Can i share my Joy n Laughter n Fun..Kudos Friends..

UnDeReStImAtIoN....

2005-08-26T10:00:00.000+08:00

I had always been thinkning that my actions are not very obvious..
So no one would actually found out..But who knows..
It turns out that more than the no of people i expected,
know about it..
I have really underestimate the no of people
who will know about the secret..
The secret may be let out of the bag soon..
But i still heaven really get a chance to go out with her yet..
Maybe becos she is too busy coping with exams ba..

But wad really amazes me is that the first person
to know this is actually gladys..
Then adeline yap also know liao...but they nvr say out..
Then soon almost everyone in my class can tell who she is liao..
But they nvr did say i know ur secret..that is..
Until i ask them about it..
So the guys in my class like all know liao..
And the gals in my class i still heaven ask some of them about it..
but most of the gals in my class should have know liao..
So i wouldn't be surprise if the other class got at least 50% of them knowing it..

What i have been hoping to get is clues from her..
Surely with so many ppl knowing about this..
She can't have not felt it..
At least can drop hints ma..
If she really did drop hints, i can't really tell..
Maybe her hints are more subtle than my actions..
To the extend i can't pick it up at all..

Been getting mixed comments from friends..
Some are good, others are bad..
It all lies in the 50-50 range for now..
Everything is hanging on the balance now..
What should i do??!
If only she could just tell me aloud..

=WiN=

PS:
To all ya who know the secret:
Thanks for keeping it a secret..
I do know a secret is hard to keep..
And i did admire ur ability to keep this a secret for so long..
And thanks for all the comments u have given me..
I will take note of them..
Thanks again..

An enjoYabLe timE..

2005-08-20T22:21:00.000+08:00

It is looking to be gloomy for me..
Feeling so sian liao..Not becos of her of cos..
Becos i know i may not get to see her everyday after term ends..
Sian........

Well, was switching on my computer n internet to do research for my DPP PBL 5 last problem..
Yea..But then still somehow not v. gd mood..still want to shop n go out..
The time came when i received a call from priscilla...
She n Patrick wants to go out n have some fun so thought i could join them..
Man, was i glad to..
So i brought along a voucher to shop for clothes too..
Seems like cool man..
The store wasn't really great but i manage to get two clothes ba..
Two tees to be exact..With the help of priscilla n patrick..
Kudos to u two for helping me choose them..

Shortly after that, we went to 7-11 to buy drinks..
Curteosy of priscilla...hahaha..It was nice..
Thanks lotx priscilla...

Due to Priscilla's urge to expand her sweet voice to us..
We went to K Box to sing songs..
Actually, i was quite surprised that so many ppl were there..
We went to room 21..n all of us pay $21 for the package..8-11pm ..
Was quite fun to hear priscilla sing..
she sounds pro in most of the songs..
but some songs she still heaven performed to its requirements yet..
no worries, priscilla, work hard..sure can de..
I pick some relatively unfamiliar songs to sing..
n surprisingly..
i need the audio with me b4 i can perform up to standard..
So the funny..
but nvm..This is my first time..
so i learnt how to use the remote liao..KUDOS..
LoL, self-praising..Sigh..
Patrick seems to be there to be with us..
He seldoms sing..
But when he sings..
He did put in his best efforts to sing..
So, KUDOS to patrick too..
We shared our dinner in K Box too..
The dinner is too expensive..
The bill amounts to $107.80..
How expensive can it be huh?
Well, the room is cold..
Not all the songs are there..
As in those i can sing ones..
not all english artistes are there..
at least the english ones are few..
but was pretty suprise about the 183 club n 7 duo hua song there..
Was one of my fav currently..
Thanks for being my audience, Patrick n Priscilla..
我把我的第一次@ K BoX 献给了你们..LoL..
We go cheaper at weekdays k..?
So we can dun burst a hole in pocket for a 3hrs session..
Yup, i go improve my singing..n not pick rappy songs anymore i promised..

Overall, i enjoyed the time with u all..Thanks for inviting me along..
Been too lonely at home thinking of silly thoughtds..

Bewitched

2005-08-14T01:22:00.000+08:00

Well, today, i was supposed to do my project work..n study for dpp test on monday..
somehow my heart n soul drifted elsewhere..
Somewhere where i usually think about when it come to work..
Sigh..My brain is receiving the -MoviE- channel again..
And impulse once again..rush me to contact pals for -MoviE-

Initially, we were supposed to watch maid at 4.45pm @ cathay causeway..Me, Patrick, Priscilla..
But even though they got two cinema halls showing the same movie at 4.45pm..
We still failed to grab 3 seats..Not even the first row..
WoW..How Packed??!
I initially thought..Who dares watch a seventh month movie during the lunar seventh month??
Darn..How wrong was i??
My friend caught it last nite (1.45am or so..)
So he said it was quite good for a local production..
But i still am a bit doubtful cos, the eye was a local production..
And my friends said it was hilarious..Though when i watch with another group of ppl..
There were generally more screams than laughters..Funny thing is i even cried..??!
Wonder why now also..LoL..anyway back to wad happened..

So they asked for my opinion wad to watch then..
So i decided for the trio of us to watch -BewitcheD-
Aw man...It was G.R.E.A.T..
I would give it 4 out of 5 starZ..
It starrs Will Farrel n Nicole Kidman..
AWW..Sweet Nicole..
The story is about a witch (nicole) who is tired of being a witch and promised to stop using her magic and start living without magic..
So, to do that, she moved out of the town filled with witches n warlords..
She ventured into the not so far away place..away from witches n warlords..
She had to used magic to get a house in that area..
She had to used magic to pay for stuff..(she swipe a tarrot card like a credit card..)
But, she hadn't use magic to sedue the guy (will)..
The down n out actor (will) was cast into a TV remake of the title..-BewitcheD-
He wanted a new face n found her (nicole)
He did not realise she was a witch..
But when he did realise about it..
He actually was confused..
Confused whether he was going to marry her or forget the whole episode..
But deep down in his heart, he knew he was so deeply in love with her that he..
DUN mind her being a witch!!!
So he chase after her..She was on a broomstick..
The ending??
Go watch it for urself =)
Hilarious it really was..

8/8 Mr Humphrey Ko's B'day..

2005-08-08T23:39:00.000+08:00

Today is Mr Ko's BirthdaY..
Yea..Happy B'day to U..

Went to TP with a super big card..
n a super expensive gift..LOL..ok la..
Lucky they can be stored inside my locker..
or else i dunno how to carry it ard..

So we signed the giant card during the breaks for PMT..
Since it was so big, several ppl can sign at one go..
I signed next to someone =D
Lucky i manage to nap that space..HeeHee..
Was so on cloud nine..after that..

The others also pen down their heartfelt thoughts n feelings..
But what really amaze me is that..
Every one is interested to know what present i've shopped for mr ko..
Fortunately i didn't wrap it up..
So the gift was past from ppl to ppl..
Haha..everyone just commented that it was simple..
But hey ppl..I shopped for two days b4 deciding on it k..
It wasn't a anyhow choose present k..

Haha..Lucky for one thing is..
We heard a lot of news that ppl brought stuff for him..
But he refused to accept..
So i decided to put our gift into the bag with the card..
n taped it together..
Well so how it goes??

It all went smoothly..
Mr Ko receive our card with so much sincere n warmth..
He even took the effort to shook all our hands with both of his hands..
Awww..How warm the feeling..!!
I guess he knew there was a bulge (gift) in the plastic bag..
but he give us 'face', so he nvr took it out..
Thanks mr ko =D

Left for home feeling so happy n tired..
And happy birthday to pei shan, whose birthday is coincidentally also national day =D

The Most Miserable
http://quizbox.com/personality/test11.aspx

You are basically a person who enjoys reminiscing.

You are a very emotional person indeed, easily influenced by people and your surroundings. For example, if society is sad about the death of famous people, you will share these sentiments, or when watching a sad movie, you will be so engrossed that you will end up being sadder than the main actors in the movie.

YOUR LOVE
Are you a very confused person?
Sometimes you like to be left alone.
Sometimes you want to be loved.
Sometimes you need him or her.
Sometimes you don't.
Does it sound familiar?

Winferd's comments on Quiz:
Oh man, 99.99% true!! T_T

The Animal Test
http://quizbox.com/personality/test12.aspx

Here is the analysis:

1) A kind of person you will be attracted to in a real life situation is those who have a split personality; cold as ice on the outside, but hot as fire in the heart.
2) In the process of courtship, the approach that makes you feel irresistible is being patient. Never giving up on you is important.
3) The impression you'd like to give to your lover is loyal and faithful.
4) One reason that would make you break up with your partner is insecurity.
5) The kind of relationship you'd like to build with your partner is that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner. A long-lasting relationship that you can grow with is important.
6) Would you commit adultery? Society and morality worry you. You wouldn't do anything wrong after marriage.
7) About marriage, you are quite pessimistic. You don't think a happy marriage exists anymore.
8) About love, at this moment, you think of love as a commitment for both parties.

Personality Quiz..

2005-08-06T08:34:00.000+08:00

Get to know yourself better
http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Comments from Winferd:
the test is about 8O% true...
I'm not sure if I am ready for relationship and be serious about it since i aren't in relationship now..You are so right!! I really am afraid of failure and that is why most of the time..I do a mini '% failure test' on some decisions to make..But ironically, i like to pick challenging parts of a project to do..I hide my feelings behind a smile instead of anger..And you are so spot on that i HATE conflicts..Will DO ANYTHING to get myself out of conflicting issues..Especially those involving me...

Wad a disappointing daY!!!

2005-08-03T22:43:00.000+08:00

All went quite well today =D
except for the last few hours of lecture..
Which i proposed a -supposingly- gd idea..
To get a gift for a lecturer since its his birthday coming this monday..
He has been very good to us all..
so i thot he should indeed deserve a gift..
but there were some ppl who weren't happy abt it..>,<
though i dunno the reason behind it..
but i seriously was like dumbfounded at the stage..

Oh well, fine..
ONLY ppl who are sincere abt it, really likes him as a lecturer,
treat him as a wonderful friend..can share in the card and/or gift for him..
Those who AREN'T truely sincere..
oh well..u may just ignore it..
treat it as nothing happened at all..
doesn't matter for u anyway..

Feeling upset at the truth of reality..the turn of events..
The ugly side of life..I turn to my bed for solitude..

=WiN=
PS:
I aren't writing this with any particular person in mind..
Give it a thot before u dismiss this as a thorn to ya eyes..
For it truely reflects the nature of u deep down within..

Ups--1/8 & DownS--2/8

Sigh, can't she just let me be me??!

found out that i have some surprising e-mails..
1 from an author of a trilogy, the other from All Saints Home..
was really touched by both of the e-mails..
Wyeth sent me a letter to inform me that the results will be made known on 5th august..!
Woah..surely looking forward to it..

Tuesday..in the AM..
The HEN kept a close watch on what TIME i sleep..

Reach sch pretty early, even got time to comb hair..LOL..
Xian Qi was the second to reach the tut room corridor..
and she asked if there was going to be tut quiz later..
I replied i dunno..guess not..
and spot on she really was..
There was a tut quiz after the tut..
and it really was hard!!!
It wasn't related to the tut we done b4 the tut quiz at all...
It was on topic 6 & 7..
Many of us dunno the answer..
But we just fill up an answer anyway..
DDCT proj went ahead smoothly..
PA2 lab was kind of smooth-sailing too..
HEN is nagging lo..

Short post abt fri, sat, and sun of last week..

2005-08-02T00:21:00.000+08:00

Oh well, i enjoy long post..
But my broadband modem just spoilt!! --I can't believe it!! =0--
So gotta make do with short post for now..
When my modem is back..
I will post a longer one then..

Ok, so on friday, i got an e-mail telling me to prepare my CV, cover n yr1&2 result to send to Wyeth person-in-charge by monday..for SIP placement..Got down to doing it actually on sunday..
Friday: enjoyed bus ride and dinner with zhi jie @ bedok hawker centre..
though the bus ride..he did complain abt his strong dislike for someone..
which he showed strong protest against..shan't say who it is..
went home n meet my two friends online for NS completion online..
n play a little online gaming..
on the whole, enjoyable it is..

Sat: went to orchard to run errands for my -smith-..
then rush to meet a friend (volunteer too) for lunch at food court near tampines bus interchange..
off to All Saints Home at Tampines after the meal (lunch)..
manage to reach earlier than expected..
was assigned to a old folks who -rarely- loks at me..
even wondered if i can comunicate with her..
She is mdn Ooi..
My senior volunteer is celeste..a sweet n nice gal..
Who like to spin yarns that she later jumbles up n told truths instead..
haha..she's so funny..
anyway, her appearance helps to open a channel for me..
finally the old lady can communicate with me..^^
so we tok to her, play games with her..sing songs to her..
n later we head to the restaurant to eat..
okok, more like feed the old folks..
nice restaurant with a wheelchair bound friendly device..
manage to feed mdn Ooi some food, though she kept insisting she cannot eat n is not hungry..
yup, with the help of celeste lah..
haha..but it was much better improvement for me than the previous feeding experience..
though we are volunteers, we do get to eat a couple of snacks n food from the restaurant..
yummy they really were..
and before long, the whole activity was coming to an end..
thanks to the organisers..
i managed to arrive on time for my class gathering..
had dinner at Hans at close to 9pm..
with zhi jie, ms tan, gladys, pei ying, da ye, wei wen, elvin, christina, n hong tat..
had an enjoyable time..
n nice food..
but dinner is quite ex =(
had some photos taken too..^^

Sun: spend the whole day sitting by the computer..
doing my resume, cover letter, yr 1 & 2 results..
Sigh, hopefully all who submit their stuff to Mr Ong @ Wyeth will be granted a interview..
at least efforts are not gone down the drain..
okok, i admit that i did play a bit of games online..
but that was becos i can't concentrate anymore..
a much deserved break..heehee..
anyway, that's also the night the modem breaks down..
causing me to use the internal modem in my CPU which works at an amazing speed of 56kbs!!!
How FAST huh..??!
Modem!!!! Be operational ready ASAP k..I miss u..
NitEz..

=WiN=
PS: sigh, this post is still long..but i already tried my best to summarise it..
Btw, this post is sent by 56kbs modem..so my broadband modem is not fine yet..!! =(

Reading too much??!

2005-07-27T00:01:00.000+08:00

It can be really strange sometimes..
How you would seem to have only notice the slightest change now and not yet then..
How you only notice the surroundings n question it now but not then..
How is it that when you realize you have fallen for someone..
You just can't stop thinking of them??

That's what happening to me these days..

Sigh..Lost my concentration totally..
Ok, unless it's highly related to her..
So, i started memorising the questions in tut quiz..
Finishing up my homework to compare answers..
Look up more than enough resources for projects..
Sigh..Am i totally LOST??

Bewildered n confused..N tiredly sank to bed..

=WiN=

Volunteering..MeaningFuL??!

2005-07-23T22:50:00.000+08:00

Hit the sack at around 5am this morning..
Just back from clubbing at about 3.30am..
Not tired till 5am..
and was awaken by my mum at 10am..
Gosh..
i can make do with a bit more sleeping hours mum..

Anyway, got a Volunteer-A-Day (VAD) programme
this n next sat starting at 1pm..
So gotta get ready for this..
I was posted to All Saints Home(Home for elderly)
at Tampines St 45..
My choice actually..
So my mum bring me to shop at Tampines Mall..
Okok, fine, i beg her to shop with me..
I saw a nice Short-sleeve shirt at G2000 earlier on..
But i not sure if it's nice on me..
So, i enlist her help..
Coz gals have alot of fashion sense than most males..
Well, she said..
It looks good on me..
but the price after discount is $30!
so she was like, u serious about this shirt??
And i was like ya..Can i have it..?
and she reply..i see how first..
Sigh..

So when the clock tick 1pm..
I head to The Home..
Was the second to reach the venue..
the orientation was like very funny..
haha..
anyway, i got hands-on on wheelchair handling..
It was a shocking experience..
Everyone on wheelchiar seems scare at first..
be it wheeling up, down slope..
up,down stairs..
we are all very scare..
so we actually can feel how it's like for the patient to be like that..
we understand now..
everytime up,down slope is so scary for them..

The briefing was fun..n so are the demonstrations..
however, there are a few gals who look more like they are here for fun..
Kept on talking n all..not following the demonstrations..
wad a distraction..
but the thing is..
They were quite good at communicating with the old folks..
hyper friendly..
haha..so that's a good thing..

We sang a couple of songs to the folks b4 dinner time..
And then we feed some of them dinner..
Well, i was assigned to an elderly folk who talk so softly none of us can hear..
so we can only try read the body language..
he was so bed-ridden that he can't sit in wheelchair..
anyway, i mus say..
i don't know how to feed the old folk..
he kept opening the mouth so small, n the spoon so big..
only a bit of the food went into the mouth..
was so embrassed that i can't feed the folk properly..
Feeding ppl has a technique n it also has to be patient too..
I dun have the technique..
well, not very patient sometimes..
so perhaps it's hard for me to feed ppl and old folks..

Got to get to know two more ppl in temasek poly..
both are at engine sch..
yr 1 n 2..
OM, make me look so old sia..T_T''
Haha, no matter wad, is great knowing ppl..
ok, gotta go rest liao..ByeZ..

=WiN=

2005-07-23T04:17:00.000+08:00

Wow..so many ppl in the chinablack club man..

Anyway, the rating i give is 4/5 stars..

What Island?? There is NO island, dun u see??!

2005-07-20T23:54:00.000+08:00

Well, tmnl i have a PMT test..
A 20marks quiz at 8am..
Topic 1-3..
Not fully prepared yet..
BUT..

I still go watch movie..
HaHaHa..
I watched The Island!!!
with priscilla n patrick..
The movie was very nice..
Very action pack..
Rating: 4/5 starZ..
It's a movie about clones..
How they live in the lab (controlled diet n all)
Then one clone call Tom Linclon finally found out the truth about the island..
And rescure his sweetheart when she was supposed to go Island!!
When clones escape..
You can be sure that a hunt for them ensues..
So what they are planning to do is to meet their -originals-..
and try to liase with them to get the other clones out..
the search for the two clones intensifies..
n when they finally found the original...
They were fooled into believing him..
What happened is that..
The real one is killed by a deceit from the clone..
So the clone replaces the real one..
and somehow, manage to get the rest of the clones out..

RE: 16/7/05 trip from sun tech to Somerset bus-stop..

2005-07-18T11:16:00.000+08:00

I have always been looking at my friends..
and i noticed several obvious hints the other party was dropping..
That hinted he/she was interested in a ''more than friend'' relationship..
But perhaps, the other party wasn't noticing it..
or trying not to notice it..(HuH??)

Wadever it is..
I hope no one is dropping hints on me..
I may be good at picking up hints for my friends..
But i personally think i'm a poor receiver of my own hints..

YUP..
A very poor one..
Unless it is very obvious to everyone la..
Then the % of me realising the hint is greater..

Hmm..I had drop several hints to a gal this yr..
But i not sure if she realizes it...
My classmates do know that it is very obvious..only some know lah..
but i can't tell from her actions if she can tell anot..
Gonna keep trying harder i suppose..
Perhaps i need to know if she's interested in me anot first..
Heard lots of rumors that she is attached le..
wouldn't really want to interfere if she's in a relationship le..
Best not be third party..

Perhaps she has also been signaling to me??!
hmm..not very sure..
but i'm gonna make the best of it..
Asking her out for another movie..The Island..
If she's interested n willing to go watch with me..
Bless me with super duper luck please..
I think i really need it..Loads of it..

=WiN=

Busy day..

2005-07-17T04:00:00.000+08:00

Well, i have a busy shedule today(16/7)..
Need to get tix for Fantastic 4..
Then rush down to National; Council of Social Service--NCSS
for a Volunteer-A-Day (VAD) programme..
Then rush back for movie n dinner..

Somehow the plan shifted..
n twisted..
n ended up quite not like as sheduled..
but i end up doing alot more stuff..haha..

So, only 2 can make it for the Fantastic 4 movie..
plus my othe friend, Priscilla had watched it twice already..
So they choose another movie instead..
the island at 9pm at marina square GV...
Seems funny as it may be..
It turns out to be an error in the reading of the times..
The Island isn't on big screens until wed of the forth-coming week..
So we had to choose another movie..
And i decided on Red Candy..dun be fooled by the title..It's no simple funny story..
It'a actually a horror movie..a sequel to -One Missed Call-

So coming back to the actual sequence of the events..
I brought two tix for Fantastic 4..
Then i rush down to NCSS for the briefing..
Then i rush back to orchard to get present..
Then i went to have dinner with Patrick, Priscilla and Wei Shan..
Then we went to Arcade for some games..
Then shop around the closed mall..to the rooftop garden..
Then head to Carrefour to shop..
Then went to cinema (Eng Wah @ Suntech) to buy popcorns n nachos n drinks b4 going into the cinema for movie--Red Candy..

NCSS briefing:
It was a rather short but very informative one..
I learnt how to wheel someone up, down a slope..
and also up n down a single step..
how to keep n open the portable wheelchair..
but all these are only in theory..so hopefully..
I can still do it in reality..

To get presents:
Well, it's to get a present for one special gal in our care group..
So i know i dun really have a good taste..
But i still want to participate in present selection..Haha..
So together with Adeline Yap and Kah Chian and with two other guys, Mervin and Hui Jie..We went in search of present..LoL..
Maybe we not so familiar lah..so he seldom talk..
Finally brought a present for the gal lo..Can go eat dinner lo..haha..

At the dinner:
Patrick was sharing a bowl of noodles with Priscilla!!
Because Priscilla is quite full..hmmm..okay..
Ate like sweet and sour fish with rice..
Just can't avoid the temptation of a fried fish..
Then shortly after, Wei San, Priscilla friend, arrives..
She's a libra..and Patrick suggested that libra is attractive n interesting b4 she arrives..
Well, she may not be very pretty than Priscilla..But she's still ok..
She seems a bit quiet..but we all do when we are surrounded by unfamilar faces..
I can tell that she is capable of great stuff..Working as a customer service personel kind of job should be quite friendly..Interesting she really is..haha..she actually agree with my view..LoL..shan't tell wad my view is here..haha..

At the game arcade:
We must have spent like about $13 in total or slightly more..
Playing games that last about a few minutes each..
Well, we played the challenger, puzzle fighter, keyboard rock music, car racing, and drumming..
Was quite fun..

Shop around to rooftop garden:
We reached there at about 10pm..
Still wasn't closed..
Had a very interesting chat..
Really nice to chat there..
A nice place to -pa tou-..
know a bit about Priscilla past..
and answer her long want-to-know question..

Carrefour shopping:
actually, we shop here cos, it closes at around 11pm..and our tix time is about 11.15pm..
ya, so we got nothing to do then shop here one..haha..
Browse at music, DVDs and VCDs..
Saw the New harry potter book..The half-blood prince..
first chapter got the title, the new minister or something..
haha..lost my interest in reading harry potter books..
prefer the visual effects..VCD, DVD or movie better..
at about 11.10pm..we walk up to cinema..

Red Candy, the movie:
brought nachos n popcorn combos..
too huge to finish at the end of the movie..
Well, it was actually a sequel to -One Missed Call-
Priscilla say One Missed Call is better than this..
It is more horrifying..
Ok..then fortunately i watched this n not the one missed call..
Well, the story is about, yup, a missed call..
a strange sounding ringtone..can't quite remember the tone..
but it was unique..really unique..n hair-raising tone..
the caller is none other than the owner of the handphone..
whoever receives the call..will die as predicted..eg: 3days later at 12.15am..
so the story goes that a father picks up the call for her daughter..n heard her scream..
then shortly after, he died with disfigured face..
the victims all have coal mine dust in stomach instead of red candy in mouth in one missed call..so the coal mine is in taiwan, not japan..
the person who was predicted to die on the 3rd day of the call, accompanied by her boyfriend-narato, and a reporter arrives in taiwan..
They found the mine n set off to find entrance to get inside..
Well, all got in..at different times..
The person expected to die was trapped with her narato in a transmitter area..
narato tried hard to get his girlfriend out of the area..but failed..
his girlfriend remains in the compound while he was flunked out of the compound by the ghost..
then the phone rang its terrible tone..
she was destined to die in the transmitter compound..
but narato managed to get the handphone n picks it up..
the caller says..We will meet again..
And true enough, the gal was magically released and the guy was in the transmitter compound..together with the dreaded ghost..
The reporter realised she had died n killed her husband who also receives the dreaded missed call..
and she spits out the......
RED CANDY!
then the film ended..
Lasted about two hours..

Comments:
biazzare deaths, stupid scary sound effects..not very scary shadows..
scary ringtone..scary ghost..scary death pictures..

Rating: 3.5/5
It is indeed touching to know the ending is so twisted..with the guy dying in place of the gal..
However, the other cheap scares aren't really scary..At least i didn't..er..scream..??!
Watchable but better to invest in other up-coming movies like The island, Willy Wonka, Bug me not..etc...

=WiN=

A fuN filled DaY..

2005-07-15T23:50:00.000+08:00

Well, today is my firend's b'day..
Edwin, Happy 19th B'day..CheerZ..
hope you like the card i sent ya..

Hmm, went for the sales and marketing talk today..
Wasn't compulsory but still go because it might be helpful for selling, persuasion..
The person is a Mr To..
He seems friendly..
and he has a lot of stories to tell..but not boring stories at all!!
In fact, it was very interesting..
All the stories are somehow related to what he is going to teach us..
So we are kinda learning through his experience..
the talk may have ended slightly earlier than expected..
but it wasn't a wasted time..
through this session, i learnt the power of silence..
the art and concept of selling..

Later, meeting with my project group for DDCT..
We were all so serious man...Haha..
But we did manage to settle some work before meeting ends..
Quite efficiency i would say..
but Shee Wee wasn't here today..
heard from janice she went to see doctor..
Speedy Recovery Shee Wee..=)

Before NAFA test..
I had another meeting, DPP..
Though only the three of us (all guys) are present..
we manage to complete action plan 2..
yee..so now we are almost completing the work..
Hope to get it done soon..
and work hard for DPP..

the dreaded nafa test is finally here..
queue for like 20mins and all to get to be in the 5th group..
Was better anyway..because, no need to climb up and down the stairs..
so, in a way..More fortunate than others...

Some ppl i know in my group like Jasmine, Timothy Chan, Angela, Samantha, Timothy Tan... and Ying You =)
wasn't a really funny group..but indeed very encouraging group..
Some of the guys cheer the team mates on when they go shuttle run and sit and reach, like: run faster, u can do it..just a bit more..one more try..
Some also gave advice..how to pass NAFA..
Indeed amazing..Thanks ppl for the encouragement..!
I'm sure it really helps alot..
My NAFA overall results: Failed
Shuttle Run: 11.7s
Sit-Ups: 40
Standing Broad Jump: 180cm
Sit and Reach: 40
Pull-Ups: 2
2.4Km Run: ??

Failed more than one component..LoL..
but never mind..
i'm still very happy i got two pull-ups instead of none..
i really thot i would have to submit a zero for pull-ups..
so in a way..Yea, even though i failed..i still happy i did my best =)

Had dinner with my CP n care group ppl..
Though the dinner was ex, like $20..
It was still enjoyable..
Because of the ppl involved..
The Chatting and all...
The Bonding..
The Food..
The Beverage..
The Service..
The Ice-cream..
The Atmosphere..
It is just a splendid meal..
Worth the value..
Haha..really enjoy the dinner..

Let me just end with this 2 thoughts..

Does my expression convey STRESS??!

2005-07-12T19:22:00.000+08:00

Today, we had a CSAS 4 meeting with the lecturer..Ms Tam...

It was like any other meeting..
Clarify doubts..
Check progress of work..
Have additional info..
and stuff..

But i was surprised that she can tell just from the lok on people's face whether they are happy or not..
wow..that's er..
superb..
She obviously detected unhappiness from a few members of our CSAS 4 group..
So, she also didn't make it too friendly to them..
though she did answer the questions posted by them..
perhaps it was for the benefit of the whole group..

When the meeting ended, some of us stay back to ask questions...
then as i had a lot of questions..
i was the only one left in the room..
being alone with ms tam isn't funny anymore..
she dun joke too much anymore..
she tends to get a bit more serious..
she answers my questions..
but after the questions..
she asked me..
are u stressed out??
i was surprised that she asked that..
cos i doubt it was evident from my face that i'm stressed out..

ok..so since she guessed it..
i might as well confessed..
and she start to tell me why she think i stressed out..
she says..
you are spending too much of your energy on each part of the resume..
you dun need to to that..
the impt part of a resume is just the work experience, education, achievements and skills..
so just concentrate on that...no need to concentrate on the personal details etc..
and she said i lack confidence..

WOW..She hit the nail on the spot..!
I SERIOUSLY lack confidence..
I know my this trait is contradicted in my horoscope personality..
Perhaps that's why horoscope isn't 100% correct then..
Coming to think of it, i lack confidence cos..
Some of the things in life, u can achieve it if you have confidence..
how to be confident??
i really dunno..
But i wish i can be more confident..
my speechlessness is a result of not confident..
I sometimes dunno how ppl will react when i suggest something..
cos most of the time my suggestion are far from ppl's main viewpoint..
kind of abstract..or is only an idea..
so it's kind of hard for ppl to believe in a idea..
and some ppl think i'm joking..
Sigh..
Seriously need to change my viewpoint to the masses..
perhaps then, i can open up n be more confident..

=WiN=

Regrets or No??

2005-07-11T13:36:00.000+08:00

-Every decision you make has an impact on the path you are gonna follow in the near future-

Well, since young, i've been having regrets already..
I regreted not been open to friends when i was in primary school..
not daring to confess to my first crush in primary 6..
being made a fool of in primary sch days..
being so easily falling in crushes n looking lovelorn in secondary 1 & 2..
being so easily mistakening friendship for BGR..
never had one true relationship with a gal i had a crush on..
so many ppl know who i had crushes on in my sec yrs..and even in poly yrs..
still no BGR now in poly years..
hadn't got very fantastic results to boast about thru'out the yrs..
not being brave enough to break the LAWS..
being tongue-tied during most project discussions..
and my greatest regret???!
Not being able to fulfill my childhood dream of being a doctor..

Awww..each time i saw a doctor in hospital..
I felt this utter regret for not choosing JC course..

Test Day 5..FINALLY..!

2005-07-08T23:43:00.000+08:00

Yeah..Today is the last test..
Well I sure bring a lot of references to the PA 2 test..
Haha..Also photocopy kelvin's one from gladys to supplement my barrage of notes..
LOL...talk about kiasu-ism..

Well, the test atarts at about 3.35pm..and slated to end at 5.05pm..
But in the end, the test ends at about 5.30pm..or 5.35pm..Making a one and half-hour test to about two hours..and yet, we complained..NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO EVERYTHING!!!!

It surely unenough time to do all..
Cos we need to read our notes and read the question and read notes again to find the answers..
Sometimes, the answer has to be sieve out from the lines of text in our notes..no prior highlighting..! So we end up spending more time than required on the question.

talk about time management..We have..but we manage it rather unsuccessfully..
talk about enlightenment..we are enlightened..but at the end of the test..
talk about happiness..we aren't really, until we realised, we can go home n rest our tired brains..
talk about sleep..We really need it..we really love our beds now..zzzzZZ..

=WiN=

Test Day 4

2005-07-07T23:33:00.000+08:00

Today, there's no test.

The subject is Pharmaceutical Analysis 2(PA2)..
It's open-bk test..

And also meaning, we need to bring alot of materials there..
and also meaning we need brains..to think thru the questions..
which also means not enuff time to complete the tests..

Well, i seriously dunno how to study for it..
So spent my whole morning and early afternoon playing online games..
Till late afternoon did i finally decided to, sit down and rethink what i really need to pack into my bag for the test tml.
And reading thru some stuff that i deem important for the test..
before long, i was chatting with my friend on msn liao..haha..
was actually going to discuss som questions that is related to the subject..
but we somehow sure know how to side-track..
taliing about other stuff..haha..LoL..
Didn't catch LOST on ch 5 in whole..
Just tiny weeny bits of it..
But seems like next week is exciting..
n i learn something from the episode..
The plane is heading to singapore..!
Why is it that every diaster area or situation has to mention Singapore??

Test Day 3

2005-07-06T23:22:00.000+08:00

Today, Communication Skills for Applied Science 4 (CSAS 4) is being tested..
Thru'out the whole test..
I couldn't contain my laughter..
It doesn't seem like a test venue at all cos..
We come into the exam room in a mess..
Then some of us took our bags to our seats..(not allowed)
Then we suddenly realised we aren't allowed to do that..
And in a haste, took out what we needed n put our bags away..

So when the test starts, we are ready!
However, the examiner, Miss Tam, specify one condition.
''You can only leave this room after 45 mins of the commencement of the test.''
You must have been surprised at this comment cos why limit it like that?
Well, the reason is that this is a very easy test and can take about 30mins or less to finish it.
But some people like to slowly inspect all details before carefully, neatly submit thier answer script.
Thus, in order not to disturb these people, the examiner limit it to 45mins after commencement of the test before people can leave the room.

When i flip open the test script, I knew i couldn't contain my laughter..
There's always these funny sentences that we are being tested on..We need to put them in a friendlier language. So i couldn't help it but laugh..HAHAHA..
fortunatelt, it was a rather inaudible laughter..
So miss tam didn't really realised it..
But i was really laughing thru'out the paper..LOL..

=WiN=

Test Day 2

2005-07-05T23:16:00.000+08:00

Well..The most difficult paper is here..!
It actually GMP term test lah..haha..
But it is really difficult becos it's a dry subject
and you all know how hard it is to memorise a dry subject..
So factual it is
that it sometimes makes you frustrated why you need to learnt it..
And to do well in it is not impossible..
It take true determination n alot of memory to make the grade..
And not counting the numberous brain cells that died from memorising all that infos.

Well, i don't expect to do well for this test..
Not becos i aren't prepared!
Cos the questions are getting harder..
And the topics are widening..
Fortunately left with one last topic to wrap up the whole GMP subject.
So, when the topic is taught..
GMP revision better start now!
or else you may never get to remember anything..!
HAHAHA..

Finishing this paper feels like the term break is tml..
Unfortunately, it isn't till 2 more papers..
Sigh..But have a little break first..haha..

=WiN=

Test day 1

2005-07-04T23:28:00.000+08:00

Day 1 of term test..

DDCT: Drug Development and Clinical Trials

Wow..the questions are almost all from the past year term test paper..
Isn't it amazing? I did have the paper..And did do some part of revision..
But was really amazed at the way the questions were recycled..

Anyway, a short note is that, the test is manageable..! thanks to reference from previous year papers..thanks man..

Optimism Vs Pessimism

2005-06-12T16:03:00.000+08:00

In the light of the day, i see the darkness that threatens to surround and engulf me and in the peace of the night, i sense danger coming my way threatening to take my life away.

Being optimist is a choice not a must, likewise, being a pessimist is a choice not a must.
I choose to be pessimistic becos that's the worse it can get..no more than that..It's tough to be optimistic when all you see is a bleak surrounding, telling you, its' gonna fail..

When someone tells you something, dun think about it..
Take it at face value..
Cos, if you really can find out the real meaning behind it..
you might not be able to take it..
Truth is always uglier and more hideous than lies..
Beautiful lies are always better..
Tell me more white lies than truth pls..
Truth if need be..
But I don't wan to know the truth..
I might be able to handle it, but i jus wish i dun know..
So the next time u wan to have an excuse, jus lie to me..
it's a big deal compared to truth..
I jus can't take truths..

If u intend to see me smile tml..
I'm sorry to disappoint u..
But, the smile i smile tml will not be the smile that's originating from my heart..
Yea..i'm already expecting a bad week already..
don't need to say anything anymore..
A week aren't bad unless the day b4 it is bad..
ya, so the day b4 it, which is today, is bad..
So the following week will be bad..

Cheesecakes...

2005-06-08T23:56:00.000+08:00

Today, i let the curiousity get the better of me..
I decided to try oreo cheesecake at mobile canteen..
Believe it or not, i have never eaten cheesecakes till today..
The reason?
The simple fact that cheese got a fermented smell that i'm still quite unacustomed to..
But i'm pretty amazed that i actually, eaten about 1/4 of a slice of cheesecake..
yea..In between forcefuls of water to 'drown' the cheese down...
Nevertheless, it was still quite an experience..
At least i managed to eat 1/4 of it..compared to none at all in the past..
An achievement it is..
but i do not wish to attempt it again..
Unless, the person i'm interested in wants me to eat cheesecake or cheese..
i'll not touch it again..

And please, don't try to buy cheesecakes for anyone not liking cheese...
It is so pukeable..but the person may swallow it down jus to please u..
U wouldn't wan ur friend to recount the 'horrific' moments of eating a cheesecake rite?
so best thing is buy cream cakes..haha..

Sweeping statementZ..

2005-05-15T10:00:00.000+08:00

On Sundays, I read The Sunday Times...
On page 11 of The Sunday Times dated May 15, 2005, sub-head: news...
Is an article about Philips Yeo: Chairman of Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star)

His statement that incurred a lot of wrath from Singapore men is, as follows:
"I don't want whining Singapore boys. They are not mature even though they have national service and are over 22 years old when they take up undergraduate studies. They give me so much trouble and waste our precious time. It would be better off giving more scholarships to foreign students and Singapore girls."

The above statement was made a week ago and was published in The New Paper.
Now, that would be what we call a sweeping statement(s).

He said that he is fed up of Singapore men who break government scholarship bond and thus deems them as immature. But the statement he made seems to disregard everything...It seems that he felt (in his opinion) that all Singapore guys who have signed up for government scholarship bond are immature. Or perhaps, every Singapore guy after NS is still immature until deem mature by him...I feel that he is making a very irresponsible statement here...He is a Singapore men too, isn't he? Well, I suppose he also had taken government scholarship bond before...Now, so (based on his statements) he is an immature guy...Is he not?

Not every Singapore guys who had taken government scholarship bond breaks it right?
So, how can he say such a statement then?? Doesn't he feel that he isn't doing justice to those keeping to the agreement/contract?

Now then, he said that Singapore girls don't break the government scholarship bond, not at all...I'm not very sure if that is true but even if it is true...Has he ever considered why they hadn't while guys did? Is it really because girls are more mature in thinking as he claims, or was(were) there other reasons?(I'm not suggesting girls are not mature...)

Hasn't it mystify Mr Philips Yeo that why female scholarship holders didn't break the agreement while some men did?? Perhaps he really should investigate.

Ms Chng ZhenZhi, an A*Star scholarship holder said in the article when interviewed...
"The local boys are OK until they enter national service. Once they enter NS, they complain a lot. I didn't know that guys could talk about the most minute things. Perhaps they're not used to the physical training or regimentation."

Now, Ms Chng..If you would just think for a minute..
Why do Singapore guys complain during the NS periods more often than before they were in NS...Imagine being in a camp for almost 7 days in a week..Doing all forms of muscle-aching exercise and when it comes to rest(sleep)...the muscle 'screams' at every tiny movements...Being in NS may be fun but not as fun as perhaps it was seemed to be..We, Singapore guys, build up 'brotherhood' in NS...So, of course when we are occasionally let out of camps, we would complain a little to our dear families n friends about the hardships we suffered in camps...After all, its the only thing we ever did all day long...Hang on..Including life without TV, family members afar...A breath-taking landscape...Something to unwind to...Heck, of course NS become our main topic when we chat...What do you expect? Fantasy/Science Fiction stories? Can't we even have a little complain then? Sometimes, we just aren't as 'strong' as girls think we are...and since few girls have been through hardships of NS...perhaps you really should give us the benefit of the doubt (on NS) and just let us complain a little more...while you sit still and listen...Will ya? Yes? Thank You...Alot..

Coming back to the point..
Even if the male scholarship holder breaks his agreement..
Had he consider their explanations before "sweepingly" say: "you are immature!... "
Well, I guess not...The issue is not whether they are mature anot...but rather, why they want to break the agreement? Isn't it so? Only if you had found out why they break their agreements then could you do something to reduce the number of "bond breakers". Right?

So, I suggest, instead of sitting by that table in your office coming up with more sweeping statement(s)..Why not do something about it? Sweeping statements isn't going to improve the situation any better than real action!!

Going Postal

2005-05-13T23:50:00.000+08:00

Book: Going Postal
Author: Terry Pratchett

ShortCuts: Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig never believed his confidence crimes were hanging offenses -- until he found himself with a noose tightly around his neck, dropping through a trapdoor, and falling into ... a government job?

By all rights, Moist should have met his maker. Instead, it's Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, who promptly offers him a job as Postmaster. Since his only other option is a nonliving one, Moist accepts the position -- and the hulking golem watchdog who comes along with it, just in case Moist was considering abandoning his responsibilities prematurely.

Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be a near-impossible task, what with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every nook and cranny of the broken-down post office building; and with only a few creaky old postmen and one rather unstable, pin-obsessed youth available to deliver it. Worse still, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him. Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, money-hungry Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical head, Mr. Reacher Gilt.

But it says on the building neither rain nor snow nor glo m of ni t ... Inspiring words (admittedly, some of the bronze letters have been stolen), and for once in his wretched life Moist is going to fight. And if the bold and impossible are what's called for, he'll do it -- in order to move the mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and specially deliver that invaluable commodity that every human being (not to mention troll, dwarf, and, yes, even golem) requires: hope.

Review: This book may have a fantasy tag on it...But it is definitely an adventure/action genre than fantasy..true it may have a few magical characters..but the story hinges mainly on the main non-magical character, Mr Moist Van Lipwig, and his motivation that gets the post office going..It is indeed a very inspiring work that motivates people to write letters and once again puts the faith and hope in post office that thier letters will be delivered to the intended recipient no matter what..And how inspiring that it keeps the post office going and without a doubt..the story is littered with numerous jokes that tickles you to laugh..Wahaha..Just really enjoyed reading it..and more than ever..motivates me to write letters than e-mails..wahaha..Letters thru the post is worth alot more than e-mails..Or so it is in this book....One note though..It may turn you against using e-mails to communicate with your friends..Beware...

Snow White and the Seven Samurai

2005-05-11T22:26:00.000+08:00

Book: Snow White and the Seven Samurai
Author: Tom Holt

ShortCuts: Once upon a time (or last Thursday, as it's known in this matrix) everything was fine: Humpty Dumpty sat on his wall, Jack and Jill went about their lawful business, the Big Bad Wolf did what big bad wolves do, and the wicked queen plotted murder most foul. But the humans hacked, cried havoc, shut down the wicked queen's system (mirrors 3.1) and corrupted her database - and suddenly everything was not fine at all. But at least we know that they'll all live happily ever after. Don't we? Computers and fairy tales collide to hilarious effect in the latest sparkling cocktail of mayhem, wit and wonder from the master of comic fantasy.

Review: This book is really funny with its words..Hmm..It's kinda messy if you did not know where you last stoped..becos the story jumps from here to there..as the events occur concurrently...kinda like confusing sometimes..but the story in the final revelation all ends well..as in the author manages to tie it all up very nicely..leaving no loose ends and questions..at least in my case..And i'm pretty glad everything turns out fine..a very fun storyline..Good n light-hearted (if not confusing sometimes) read..Will recommend it...

Millions

2005-05-09T11:31:00.000+08:00

Oh well, yesterday i went watching movie -millions- with my friend, patrick.
The movie was simple..Two boys found a stash of money..
But within a week they need to spend it all away..because it is changing to euros soon..
and the money would be quite useless then..
The elder brother, anthony, wants to spend it all between his brother on material stuff..
While his younger brother, damien, wants to use part of this money to do the works of saints..
meaning, to help the poor..like donating money to needed charities..becos he believed that the money came from god, bestoed to him to do good deeds...
While the two brothers are always conflicting on the issue of money..They were really concerned about each other..to cut to the chase, the robber was caught, the money were converted to euros, with about 3/4 of it returned to the police..the remaining 1/4 was kept by them secretly..
overall movie rating: 3.5 stars out of 5.

Well, i wouldn't say it is really a v. nice movie..but it does somehow lack something which i can't point out as yet..nevertheless, it is still a good movie.

Chated with my friend for some time cos we heaven met up for about a yr since he went NS...
He told me lots of stuff..He said that the NS weren't as strict as in the past..But still, dun try to do foolish thing there..It seems that the camera phones are allowed in some camps now..But discreet is observed when bringing such stuff..Like cameras too..He urged me to learn driving now while i can, than to wait till NS..But seriously speaking, i know i can't afford a car..It's akin to a second wife..meaning spending money (lotsa) on the car..like repairing it, spray painting it, COE, oil prices...It'll just all add up to a huge cost that i think is not worth the effort..Nevertheless, it is a skill that is rather good to have when u got a free car, COE, oil refilling, car repairs..But i doubt there will be that day where u drive the car but someone else pays for the expenses of the car..Haha..It's just not likely..But for most of my friends whom had car driving licence..not able to drive a car is a great discomfort..

Pausing for a moment to think, actually, i hadn't much courage to try i guess..
Somehow i just can't get over the overcast of failure..All boils down to my low self esteem..
I know i got to do something..but i dun think i can do it..
I always imagine failure before i started to doing things..
And well, yes most of the times, IT'S A FAILURE...
Perhaps i need to think just a bit more positively..
Then everything would work out well..

A tribute to Mums..Esp MinE..hee..

2005-05-07T20:14:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow will be one of the celebrated days of the year..
"Mothers' DaY"..

So as we moved on from today to tomorrow..
We should pause for a moment and recalled how our mums..
Her undying love, care, concern and self sacrificing nature endear us to her so much..
sometimes to the extend that we 'love' our mums greater than dads..

Well, i heard some talks over the radio today..
It was filled with the sms messages of their well wishes for their mums..
Some were simple and sweet, while others were sad..
But all in all, they were meant for their mums..
And only their mums know more about its meaning..

Well, paying tribute to my dear mummy here..
Though i think she might not know about this entry..
haha..it's ok, i've ways to entice her..

Thanks mummy for the undying support you gave me when i failed miserably..
Thanks for forgiving me the times i was naughty and made you angry..
Thanks for all the naggings that were all in all a good sport of encouragement..
Thanks for your undying love of me even when i sometimes really make you wish you hadn't born a brat like me..(I know i was naughty during my childhood times..)
Thanks for the times when i was lonely and you stayed up till i go to bed..
And thanks for having me..For the nine months of pain to give birth to a brat who only knows how to anger you, make your heart boiled and most of all, unstoppable worry for my well-being..
For i know you are the greatest mum i could ever have..Thanks Mummy..

Though i seldom speak of it..
Or even seldom show it thru my actions and expressions..
I really love you, mummy..
From the bottom of my heart..
I wanna wish you A HappY Mothers' DaY!!
Wish you as radiant, sunny and youthful as you are years ago..

*PS: Hope you enjoy the lunch i prepared for you today..
It was just a simple fare, but i really put in a lot of effort to do it k..
Wasn't too bad tasting rite?? At least i think it's alright..
If i can comment..It's too delicious =P

MonumenT

2005-05-05T10:42:00.000+08:00

I have just finished a "FanTasY" book...

Book : Monument
Author : Ian Graham
Book Cover : http://213.253.134.29/jackets/m/184/1841491969.jpg

ShortCut : A big man named Ballas, is a drunk and vagrant. He was beaten up by a mob of people whom he has stolen their money pouches. A young priest saves him, but he steals from the priest, for he is one who does not know how to return kindness. Of all the things he had stolen, one is an artifact, an item called MONUMENT. This artifact is the key of the story. This artifact causes Ballas to be constantly on the hunt. The mystery of what this artifact really is and its ability is revealed in the final chapter of the book.

Review : The story does not seem like a fantasy. Moreover, it seems like a long and arduous journey, if it wasn't already unnecessary. The book is littered with swearing and profanities in every possible and impossible way imagined. Feelings for the characters were not evoked upon the reader. However, it has a vivid description of scenery and images of the characters. Perhaps this is the only credit of the story. The journey is really too long and uninteresting. It might have been a more enjoyable read if the journey is simplified to a few pages and continue with the revelation. If you intend to read this book...Then you can take note of the following chapters: 1-5, 18-21...For these are the chapters I feel are a bit more interesting and important.

RaTiNg : 1 out of 5 stars

PS:
To the author: I don't really meant that all your works are bad, but i really dislike this work here. Hope you can take my comments like a pinch of salt and keep working on novels. One failure doesn't mean much. Keep trying k...May you have a fruitful time writing novels.

23rd april aka World Book Day..

2005-04-23T11:07:00.000+08:00

So on a world book day...
What else would be more important than to celebrate reading, authors..share opinions on the play, novels u have just watched/read..?
So here forth, I present to u the review of the black magician trilogy..

Sonea is a girl, a slum dweller who was living with her aunt and uncle since her mother's death and her father disappearance. Today, she was sent to the north quarters to find a residing area as they had just been evicted from their home. She met her 'thieves' friends who had gathered for the yearly Purge. They were throwing stones at the guards and magicians. But their stones fell when they hit an invisible shield created by the magicians. Sonea was given stones to throw at the magicians. She threw the stone and as expected, it hit the barrier and fell off. But her second throw, she focused on her feelings of hatred for the magicians' guild and the king and all the injustice that has been done to her and her family onto the stone and released it from her hand n willed it to hit the barrier. But to her amazement and shock, it passed through the barrier and hit the magician's temple, knocking him out. Chaos ensued, and in the confusion, a boy near her was charred by the numerous strikes from the magicians. She was horrified by the ordeal, and her friends who found her quickly let her to an escape route.

She had hidden herself from the magicians and secretly tried out her skills under the encouragement of her friends. But she soon lost control and was on the verge of destroying herself and part of the city when the magicians found her and teach her CONTROL of her powers. She was captured and taught control. But there's a trial when she's ready, to agree whether to bind her powers or let her be a trained magician. She was blackmailed by one of the magician to agree to his terms. But before the trial ends, her friend, Cery, was released from being hostage. Seeing her friend's safety, she went on to tell the truth and consented to a truth read by the administrator of the university, Lord Lorlen. Through the process of truth-reading Sonea's mind, he saw his friend, Akkarin aka High Lord, performing black magic in an underground room. Surprised, shocked and angered by what he saw, he also felt for the safety of Sonea if she leaves the compounds of the guild. So he urged her to keep what she saw a secret and remain in the guild for her safety. He also told her to reveal this information to Lord Rothen, her Guardian who will take care of her well-being in the university.

Then, the summer intake swearing ceremony is going to begin. She and several of the summer intakes of novices were to agree upon abiding the rules/laws of being a magician. Lessons started the next day after the ceremony. But she had gained the disapproval of a boy in her class. His name is Regin. He seems keen on making her the butt of his jokes, and collaborating with his classmates to make fun of her. She knew she wouldn't be well-liked, but she did not expect them to ridicule her. She had thought they would leave her alone. Well, gaining the dislike of her present classmates, she requested to be upgraded to the winter intake class. She had to finish the half year class within three months and pass a mid-yr test. Thereafter, she had to catch up with the winter class covered topics. It was surely hard-work but she was determined to do it, and she had amazingly succeeded. But Regin was not determined to let her off. He was soon in the same winter intake class as he had followed what Sonea did.

The winter intake classmates were more serious in their work and hangs on in pairs. She had gained one friend, Poril. He was poorer in his studies. Thus, he was retained in the winter class. But Regin was not gonna let Sonea off so easily. He threatens Poril not to talk to Sonea anymore. Feeling a stab of hurt, and anger, she suffered in silence. Meanwhile, Regin was still gathering people to attack her on her way back to the novice quarters. Things took for a change for the worse when Akkarin found out that his secret is let out of the bag, and took Sonea as his apprentice by force. In doing so, Lord Rothen, Administrator Lorlen and Sonea would keep to themselves the deadly secret. By things do not change for Sonea, Regin and his gang still gathered to set traps for her. But each time, she would lose to them. They would abuse her physically. Until she couldn't take it anymore, she requested to fight Regin in a formal battle. The battle was won by Sonea. And thereafter, Regin did not lay anymore attacks for her. But there is still one thing that feared her.

Days seemed to be for the better as Sonea won the formal battle against Regin. She has gained quite a few classmates ever since she was the High Lord’s favourite who won the formal battle. Regin has not been laying traps for her, and admitting his defeat. But Sonea still had a bigger worry in mind. Series of deaths related to the use of black magic has surfaced to terrorise the city. Sonea was let in on the black magic secret by Akkarin himself. Learning of his past, she suddenly felt how much pain he has suffered. She doubted his practise of the black magic in the past but now that he has shown her evidence of slaves of Ichani, she believes in him. She is also in awe in his ability to fend off the black magicians over the years, keeping the city safe from Ichani. But recently, more slaves of Ichani has entered the city and started to kill the innocent, drawing their magical powers to enhance their own. Akkarin is getting weaker each day after the fight. Sonea knew she had to do something, she had to help. Much as Akkarin was unwilling to teach her black magic, she was also unwilling to learn it. But for the sake of protecting her country, she felt it is necessary to learn it in case Akkarin was no longer able to defeat them, she could still help. But soon the guild knew of their black magic practises. They hold a trial and sentenced them the exile to the Sachaka, the land of Ichani. Despite hearing their stories, the king foolishly passes the sentence without verifying the truth first.

They finally knew the truth a tad too late. Sonea and Akkarin were already in Sachaka. The stories they had heard from Akkarin and Sonea about the Ichani was real. They tried in vain to contact Akkarin and Sonea. But Sonea and Akkarin was coming back to help their country. Taking a round about, they pass through the South pass and was heading back when they met with a Ichani. They managed to kill the Ichani with their combined effort and Lord Rothen’s son, Dorrien. Knowing that they were telling the truth, Dorrien sent them back to the city with the help of his villagers. They arrived but the city was going to turn into wreckage. Their arrival was timely. The Ichani did not know of their arrival. So they could lure them out one by one and kill them. The battle between Ichani and magicians of the guild has started. And the magicians lost the battle bitterly. When the battle is finally over, thanks to Akkarin and Sonea, the city was in a bad form. Houses were demolished by magic. After the battle was won, a lot of the positions in the Guild is reshuffled. Sonea, though not a magician yet, has gained the term Black Magician. The Yearly Purge has been admonished by the king and a hospital was build to provide healing services to the dwellers, once exclusive to the rich only. And Sonea is expecting the child of Akkarin in her womb.

Comment: This trilogy has several subplots and though at the beginning it may seem boring, the story was filled with vivid details to enrich the imagination. Many a times, you would take pity in the heroine, Sonea, or even share her joys, sorrow and congratulate her for her strong determination to keep on going. She never let anyone down. It reveals its major plot in the third book, but you would find that you want to keep on reading to find out the ending. The numerous subplots in the trilogy were interesting. It is definitely one trilogy that would keep you in mystery till the very end. Fascinating.

Logy-Phobia...

2005-04-15T12:06:00.000+08:00

Logy-phobia
Definition: It is the fear of finishing a trilogy or a series of books written continously by a author detailing an event, because of the gruelsome details or emotional deaths in the story which may be too unbear-able for the reader itself.
Example: I cannot finishing reading this LOTR trilogy because i've logy-phobia.

I've been reading this trilogy called THE BLACK MAGICIAN TRILOGY..
It was alright for me to read book 1 and 2 interestingly and appreciatively..
The climax of the trilogy is of course in the book 3: The High Lord..

The first quarter of the book was exciting..and informative without deaths..
Well, at least no deaths that could have cause the reader sadness or disconfort..
As the story progress, you begin to be suck into the whole story..
Taking you thru trials, exile process, and finally..The expected war..

To give credit to the author,
everything is very wonderfully written and described..
It was just the sad part that deaths have to occur..
Deaths such as noble sacrifices for the war..

I dun understand why must it have deaths..
Makes the fantasy tale all the darker..
But guess i can't escape them..
Deaths are natural and so had to take it as it is..

Upseted by a trilogy..

DisTress..!!

2005-04-14T11:43:00.000+08:00

"When you feel all the feelings from you has evolved, i can only offer my congratualiton that you're still human after all.."

Perhaps i've never felt so much anger and sadness from reading a novel than this one..I shall not reveal the contents of this novel as i do not wish to bring any evoked feelings in you..But i just wish to express my disturbed feelings here..Wish to take these feelings away from me..Not that its' wrong to have them..but having them makes me more emotional than i already am..Perhaps i should just calm down and take it as it really is..A fictional story..aka fantasy land..and not involve my feelings in it..But i dun think i can..I wish there could be another way, though i do not see it now..Hmm..Guess i should stop blogging till i finish reading this novel and have calmed down myself..Perhaps then, i can have a detailed analysis of the situation i'm expericing now..For now, a little rest is better before continuing the novel..

Feeling anguish erupting into strange feelings i've never felt b4..n trying to dispate it into the thin air..

Filled With Regret..

2005-04-11T12:05:00.000+08:00

"Perhaps Life is Just one big barrel of Regret & Remorse.."

I have been lost touch with my sec school friends for as long as i can remember..
We had a class chalet last yr..
With a really low attendance..
Several of the guys were there..
Only a trio of the gals were present..
That is such a sad thot..

Then, now i realized...
Almost all of my Sec Sch male classmates are in NS now..
Aww..except for a few of us..The rest are in CAMPS!!
Sob..Sob..
If only i have been hanging out more often with them..
Perhaps, we still might have fun & wonderful memories to take comfort in..
But i selfishly used my time for my own selfish purpose..
To complete my tutorial, revision, finding extra info on my subjects,
attempt past-yr papers..play online games..or just sleep..
Oww...I must have been really selfish to keep my time all to myself..
I had no idea how sad i'm gonna be when i'm all alone..
But now..Now..
Regret has hit my heart..And i know it won't stop..
Perhaps, i too dun wish it to stop..
Maybe, i wish to be regretful till..till i won't be selfish again..
But i aren't really sure if being regretful helps..
I just silently hoped that all of my pals in NS
would be having a much less troubled time..
I'll visit ur blogs as often as i miss hanging out with ya..
Take care in NS..

And just one more confession..
I'm truly, deeply sorry for not remembering your b'day until it's too late..
Hope to gain ur forgiveness..
With utmost regret, i apologised to you again.

It's impossible..!!!!

2005-04-10T16:35:00.000+08:00

Hmm..
I was wondering if there is anyone in the world..
that might be able to read all the books there is in the world,
gaining both knowledge and insight into each subject..
Then i realized, it is impossible even if he/she is determined..
Cos we heaven really developed our brains when we are a months old..
So we gotta chose which books we are interested in..
Or rather topics we are interested in..
Hence, the bookstores may store lots of books but not always out of books.
Becos, not all books interest the same person..
Each individual has his/her own taste in books.

For me..
I prefer to read fantasy, adventure, sci-fic, self-help and science books..
But i only select those that interest me greatly..

But my didi, he prefers to read thriller, detective kind of books..
and insist that ppl can actually complete all the books in the world of all subjects ranging from toddlers' books to novels to comics to technical, science, business books..And i ask if he can name any..he was dumb-founded..Get wad i mean? He thinks its possible, but i think it's impossible..

So if anyone has evidence to support either my didi's claim or my claim..
Just let it be know..
Tell me about it plz..
I wanna gain this fabulous piece of knowledge..
Perhaps to inspire me to carry on reading and studying the bulky textbooks..

The Novice (Book 2 of Black Magician Trilogy)

2005-03-28T12:12:00.000+08:00

Oh my..
It was so exciting till the last part..
If only i can get the third book of it: The high lord..
Wonder if Kinokuniya still have it..??

Well, i managed to finish this book by yesterday afternoon..
Was completely absorbed into this book that i only put away the book to eat my lunch at close to 1.30pm..
It really is an exciting fantasy book..Lots of twist and turns here and there..
But the story is gonna end in book 3..Don't think she got any other fantasy books written so far..
But i'm definitely hoping she would write more...

One of the most interesting part would have to be
the formal battle between Sonea and Regin in the Arena:

To cut the story short,
Sonea and Regin won 2 rounds each..
For the last round (excerpt from the book):
She closed her eyes, seeking the source of her power. It was a little dimished, but in no danger of depletion.
Yikmo has counselled against defeating Regin with sheer strength. "If you want respect, you must show both skill and honor."
I've shown them enough skill and honor, she thought. Whatever happened in this last bout, she was not going to risk losing again by trying to conserve her strength. If she won this bout, it would only be by lasting longer than Regin.
Which meant she would not win it by strength anyway, so why not end it quickly with one ferocious attack?
"Are you ready to begin the fifth bout?" Balkan called.
"Yes, my lord,"she answered, Regin echoing her reply.
"Begin."
She began by attacking with powerful strikes, hoping to gauge Regin's stamina. Regin nearly sidestepped all, her strikes flashing harmlessly into the Arena's barrier.
Sonea stared at Regin, who returned her look with feigned innocence. Dodging and ducking were considered bad form in battle, but no rules existed against them. She was surprised that he would resort to either, but that was what he'd anticipated. He had done it simply so that she used up her power in a useless attack. Regin smiled. The sand around his feet stirred.
A murmuring began in the crowd as the sand begin to rise from the floor of the Arena. Sonea watched, wondering what Regin was doing--and why. Yikmo hadn't mentioned any tactic that involved this. In fact, he'd said that projection was irrelevant in a formal battle.
Sand was whipping around the Arena now. It thickened rapidly, filling air with a thin wailing. Sonea frowned as Regin disappeared from sight. Soon she sould see nothing but white.
Then something more potent buffeted her shield. Judging the direction, she threw out a strike, but another attack hit her from behind, then a third from above.
He's blinded me, she realized. Somewhere beyond the sand, he was moving around the Arena, or directing his strikes to curve and hit from different directions. She couldn't fight back when she didn't know where he was.
But that wouldn't matter, if she aimed in all directions at once.
Drawing on her power, she sent out a spray of potent strikes. The sand abruptly dropped around her, forming a ring on the ground. Regin had centered the sandstorm on her. So that was how he knew where I was.
He stood on the other side of the Arena, watching her cafefully. Seeing him, she knew he was trying to judge how tired she was.
I'm not.
As she attacked, he dodged again. She felt a smile pull at her lips. If Regin wanted to waste her power, she would have him running all over the Arena like a frightened rassook. Eventually she would catch him.
Or she could curve her stikes around the Arena so he had nowhere to run.
Yes. Let's finish this.
She half-closed her eyes and focused on the source of her power. Drwaing on all but little of the magic she had left, she formed in her mind a pattern both beautiful and deadly. Then she lifted her arms. It didn't matter if she let her intentions show now. As she released the magic, she knew it was the most potent force she had ever let loose. She sent it outward in three waves of forcestikes, each more powerful than the previous.
She heard a low sound from the audience as the strikes rayed out like a bright, dangerous flower, then curved down toward Regin.
Regin's eyes widened. He backed away, but there was nowhere to go. As the first strikes hit, his shield shattered.
A hearbeat later the second wave hit the inner shield. Regin's expression changed from surprise to terror. He glanced at Lord Garrel, then threw up his arms as the third wave of strikes hit.
As they did, Sonea heard an exclamation. She recognized the voice as Garrel's. The inner shield around Regin wavered...
...but remained in place.
Turning to stare at Regin's guardian, Sonea saw him press his hands to his temples and sway. Akkarin's hand rested on the magician's shoulder.
Then a soft thump drew her attention back to the Arena. Sonea felt her heart skip as she saw Regin lying on the sand. All was silent. Surely he was just exhausted. He couldn't be...dead.
She took a step toward him.
"Halt!"
Frozen by the command, she looked up at Balkan questiongly. The warrior frowned as if in warning.
Then Regin groaned and the watching magicians let out a collective sigh. Closing her eyes, Sonea felt relief rush over her.
"Sonea has won the challenge," Balkan announced.
Slowly, then with more enthusiasm, the watching magicians and novice began to cheer. Surprised, Sonea looked around.
I've won, she thought. I've actually won!
She surveyed the cheering magicians, novices, and non-magicians: perhaps more than just the fight. But she wouldn't be certain of that until later, when she walked down the University corridor and heard what the novices were muttering, or when she encountered Regin and his friends in one of the passages late at night.
"I declared this formal contest concluded," Balkan announced. Stepping down from the portal, he joined Garrel and akkarin. Garrel nodded at something the warrior said, and began to walk around the Arena toward the entrance, his eyes on the still-proned figure of Regin.
Sonea regarded Regin thoughtfully. Moving closer, she saw his face was white and he appeared to be asleep. Clearly he was exhausted, and she knew how awful that felt. But never in all times she had been exhausted had she fallen unconscious.
Hesitantly, in case he was faking, she crouched beside him and gingerly touched his forehead. His exhaustion was so extreme, his body was in shock from it. She let out a little Healing energy flow from her hand into his body to strengthen it.
"Sonea!"
She looked up to find Garrel staring down at her disapprovingly.
"What are--?"
"Ngh..." the boy groaned.
Ignoring Garrel, she looked down to see Regin's eyes fluttering open. He stared at her, then his brow creased into a frown.
"You? "
Sonea smiled wryly and rose. She bowed to Garrel, then walked past him and into the cool of the Arena's portal.

Well..that's one of the most interesing part I enjoyed..Hope you enjoyed too..

Ya..The simple Life 2 ends its run tonight..
Sigh..i really enjoyed watching the two airheads doing jobs and ruining a mess of it..
It tells us how unlucky employers can get when they hired them..
Plus all the unexpected(or expected) outcomes of the job and family they stay put with..
ohh..i really am gonna suffer Paris-Nicole-syndrome soon..Help..
Really looking forward to Simple Life 3: Interns..
Definitely more jokes from their internship programmes..wahaha..
I was wondering if Mr Trumph would hire them as apprentice
and could only be eliminated at the last third rounds onwards..?
Now that's a wonderful twist to the two-in-one reality show, wouldn't it?
Haha, just a thot, anywayz, hope ch 5 can aire Simple Life 3 soon..
Oh and bring back Charmed..It's nice effects too..Go Go make everyone happy..

=WiN=

Puzzling..??!! hee..not be..

2005-03-26T18:23:00.000+08:00

Alright..
i'm sure most of my classmates becum very very perculiar about my behaviour when i decided to go home after the last paper on thurs..instead of joining them at K box for singing..
But i can't blame them for wondering since all ppl will want to enjoy after some stress has been lifted from them..i was home for something that gives me pleasure..
no not dirty stuff..
It's a novel that i had borrowed but not yet read due to exams..

The title is Novice by trudi canavan (Book 2 of the black magician triology)
The first book is The magicians' guild..
And the last book of this triology is The high lord!!
Well, it's a fantasy book that suits ppl like me..fantasy-manic ppl..

The summary of so far(till what i've read so far..):
Sonera is a slum dweller who discovers she has magic potential..But she is being pursed by the magicians' guild who needs to teach her CONTROL..To cut the chase, she was caught by them..
And learnt contol of her powers..but then, she was in a tough choice to join the guild or save her friend, cery..She choose the latter, but was relief when she saw cery being safed, then accuse Lord Fergun of forcing his will on her by holding Cery captive to make her abide by his instructions..well, she decided to join th guild and learn more about magic..and to keep one scary knowledge of the high lord..(to know what's that, read book 1)! As the summer classes for novices started, she was at the mercy of a kid, Regin, a kid who comes from powerful house..seems to like ridiculing Sonera..Now, Sonera has become the high lord's novice, a chance where many novices wish they could have..But if only they knew the real reason behind..Perhaps they would not be so envious...That's all i have completed so far..Seems interesting to me till now..

Now, about that Regin kid, why does he like to make fun of people, even going to the extend of making her life miserable? The story has really intrigued my feelings..making me feel excited, angry, sad, disappointed, fearful, and awe in a couple of hours reading..It reli is a wonderful piece of novel..Guessed it'll be hard to find another book as this..Sigh..
But i shall like this book as of this moment..

A series of Unfortunate Events..

2005-03-16T23:33:00.000+08:00

Foreword:
This is going to be an unfortunately long entry, and if you so desired to read short entries then I suggest you would like to skip this entry, but if you so wish to read, then by all means go ahead..But the ending may not be as pleasant as you might think. And if this bothers you a lot, it would be more fortunate for you to read some other blog entries.

Today, like any other day, is so full of ups and downs..
It is a really long day..
I had a term test and wasn’t quite able to finish all the questions.
Nevertheless, I still had a revision lecture to attend after a short one hour break..Not to mention that I have to complete my service reflection..

However, I decide to give myself a well-deserved treat: A MoViE..

I went to Tampines Mall to get the earliest ticket to Lemony Snickets’ A Series of Unfortunate Events..Unfortunately, there was a long queue outside the ticket booth..After about 10mins of queuing, I finally got my tickets to the show..How fortunate..

I must say, I’m pretty impressed that despite it being the second or third week of screening in the cinemas, the cinema hall is about full house for the 4.45pm show. Fortunately, I’m seated with some audience..Settling myself into the couch, the movie slowly screened on the silver screen..

The opening of the film is a bit bewildering..But nevertheless, the story continues…

A short summary of the film:
Their big mansion was burned to ruins while the three Baudelaire children were out playing. The banker informed them of the unfortunate news that both their parents and the house were gone. They were sent to live with Count Olaf, the closest relative to their parents, which they had never heard of. He tried to kill them to get his hands on their fortune, but did not succeed the first time. After going through several disguise and killing off the other guardians, he finally got his hands on the Baudelaire children, unfortunately. Much as they tried to avoid the clutches of Count Olaf, and warning their guardian to be aware of them, they still fell victim to Count Olaf.
Count Olaf is a scheming person who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the fortune of the Baudelaire children. Fortunately, the children escaped from him with wits and courage till now. But for how long, it’s not too sure.

The rating I give for the movie?? Unfortunately, I intend to give my rating only after some other comments.

I thought the cast were a rather perfect match. Violet, the eldest, is the innovator, Klaus is the avid reader, and Sunny, the baby is the biter. Their acting is so convincing and real that they grab hold of your attention almost immediately when they are on the screen.

Despite the bleak settings in most of the scenes, unfortunately, the actors/actress shines brightly..The look that Klaus give is so fascinating, the way violet looks and ties her hair up whenever she’s thinking hard is so marvelous and gorgeous and the way sunny speaks is so humorous..

Jim Carrey’s role as Count Olaf isn’t as funny and sinister as he could be. Jim is giving the character an overdose of the funny factor..Such that he does not seem sinister anymore..

On the whole, I still pretty much enjoy the movie..Not that it is a series of unfortunate events of the children but because I have learnt something from it..Be fortunate that you aren’t as unfortunate as them, first impression is always very important, live everyday with alertness, wit and courage as you never know when you would need it..

And last but not least, the unfortunate rating of the movie
A Series of Unfortunate Events: 4 out of 5 starZ..

Unfortunately, that’s all the time I have and I shall have to end here. But if you were to be so upset/unhappy with anything in this blog entry or to be so unfortunate to spot any spelling errors, would you be so kind as to ignore it and read some other fortunately grammatically correct blog entries.

A very very BAD WIZARD??!

2005-03-08T22:34:00.000+08:00

Someone came up to me yesterday and tell me..
U've been hurting me..do u know that..??!
Upon receiving the news..I was shocked..
Shouldn't it be the other way round??

U've confused me now..

After long moments of thinking & recalling..
I realized that i did offend ppl at times..
Sometimes even without my knowledge of it..
(until thay told me about it, that is..)
Perhaps its becos i'm too mad to actually think over what i had said..
and just talk like a no-brainer..
But no matter what, i'd still hurt someone's feelings..
And i dun like that..i really don't like to hurt anyone..

The pen is mightier than the sword..
Words can harm one person more than a sword..
Words can convey a meaning deeper than it is
and cause emotional wounds..
But all the sword can do is to cut the flesh up..
leaving ugly scars on the skin..
I know physical wounds can heal,
but emotional wounds will leave a scar even after it has heals..
Why would i want to leave emotional scars just becos of a matter??

Perhaps apologizing may not be enough..
but i can't think of any other way
to express my remorse for hurting u..
unless u can tell me, perhaps we can figured a way out
that won't hurt u or me or our friendship..

=WiN=
The Wizard who is feeling real bad about what he has done
and hopes he has a chance to repent..asked for ur forgiveness..
Please tell me what i should do =_(

But definitely becos she's my good good friend..

The PA quiz today was a lot less scarier than last pa quiz..
kinda read up a bit be4 i had the quiz u see..
so sort of know where to search for answers..
It seems like the best way to prepare for open-book test
is to read thru the notes b4 test..
and to have an alert mind..No matter wad, dun panic..

2005-03-03T19:43:00.000+08:00

Thanks for the compliments friends, and pals..
for complimenting that i look really good today..
Really thanks alot..

Well, i dress up for the presentation becoz,
my entreprenuership presentation requires it..
but what the tutor does is look at the report and
hear wad my group as well as the other groups are presenting..
well, since u're not gonna look at us..Y bother we wear formal??
nevertheless, our presentation went on smoothly..
and thanks to Kevin U John for lending our group the lab top,
as well as Ying You for her help..

Then, on the bus heading home,
i was chating with my friend when all of a sudden,
this ill-mannered creature crawls towards us
and start to bark at me and my friend..
Since my friend dunno what IT's saying..
It naturally just bark at me..
Giving me a piece of its Sh**Y mind..
Telling me to move inwards to the rear of the bus..
It doesn't make sense to me
this creature shouldn't be telling me this when
the next stop is my destination..He may feel better barking at me..
but i dun really care about it at all..So why am i writting this??
It's just to let everyone knows that there's the existence of these crude creatures everywhere and even thought the percentage of meeting them is 0.001%, i actually got it..
So beware of these crazy barking creatures around..

WhaT a FuN DaY...

2005-02-27T11:00:00.000+08:00

haha..Yesterday was such fuN...
I finally got my didi to go dowN Orchard witH mE..
As usual, he was busy with this never-ending work..
but he agreed to go with me to orchard after doing part of his nvr-ending work..
We got to orchard about early afternoon 2pm..
I decided to shop from HeereN to Wheelock place..
It was rather relaxing, having somone to talk to as i shop..
we checked out badges at bloomington greetings..
so funny..I liked the one that says:
improve ur image, be seen with me!! very much..
but i dun dunno where to pin on my bag, so didn't get it..

Then as we were crossing to the other side to takashimaya,
i saw a fellow course mate, project mate, class mate..Rebecca..
She was with her friend shopping..haha..such coincidence..
just greeted each other and continue our paths to our destination..

Kinokuniya stocks a lot of books and mags..
check out the horoscpoe books at the store and was fancinated with its wide range of varieties..
and check out the latest fantasy books on sale..
Then got to know Terry Pratchett got a new book on sale..<Going Postal>
I have always amired this author, becos he got the ability to craft a amazingly humourus and fantastic, fanci-nating, interesting, wonderful fantasy stories/novel..He's my fav author for fantasy..Too bad my lib got few books by him..sigh..

Borders is another place that has lotx of books..
but it isn't as up-to-date as kinokuniya..or maybe..
the up-to-date books are sold out b4 i even got to know they exist in the bookstore..
Anyway, if u're looking for a gift for someone special and u intend to but bookmarks..
then look no further than Borders..A wide range of very exclusive bookmarks are on sale there..
haha..maybe becos i like bookmarks so i tend to check out them very often..Anyway, one bookmark doesn't come cheap..at least $7 i think..so be finanicially-prepared..

Head home at about 10pm and guess who i saw??
The TSO...he was at the orchard mrt sitting there..
Wonder what's he doing there with a friend of his..
anyway, out of courteousy, i waved to him..
when the mrt finally arrived, i quickly hopped onto it..
and was back in time to catch two brainless chicks..Nicole N Paris..
Hey airheads, go get brains..LoL..

I dun understand why a small matter can blow up to become a big problem..it's really complicated in my aspects..My phone bill for this month is an amazing $49..All becos i use a lot of sms..And my mum is like so angry with me spending money on sms..Well, what can u expect?? You guys induced me to change the plan to free incoming call all day, cutting short my sms usage from 900 to 500..I'm only using 840 sms..if the plan hasn't change, i'm still covered under the plan..So STOP blaming me k..Dun say i didn't tell u i can use a lot of sms per month..I use sms more than i CHAT..so why give me free incoming call all day when u all call me in less than 10% of the time per month..?It makes no sense to me..And dun try to convince me otherwise, cos i know, its all CRAP...Sorry if i sounded rude, but i aren't really in the mood to fuss up with u all, i just want to continue doing what i'm supposed to do, like to do..enjoy doing..MY SCHOOL WORK!!!

a nice poem..

2005-02-14T18:45:00.000+08:00

Friendship is something special,
it can not be bought or sold
Its value is far greater
than any silver or even gold

When times get rough,
they always seem to understand
Without being asked,
they comfort and lend a helping hand

Holding you up
when they think you will fall
No matter what,
they help you through it all

Friends lift you up,
when you are feeling low
They take you in
when you have no place to go

Never ever forget
or take such things for granted
For you can never re-sow
the seed that's already been planted

Take this to heart,
let it never be undone
In order to keep a friend
you must first be one

Honesty is something
that should always be your aim
With lies, their wounds may heal,
but nothing's ever the same

So cherish your friendship,
always be sincere
Open up your heart,
and it will never disappear!!!

This wonderful poem
is not my own
but what i saw today
on a friendster testimonial..
So wonderfuL
that i wish to share with all..

Survey...

2005-01-29T22:24:00.000+08:00

For my project plm..
we need to do surveys for mothers/parents..
so naturally what better way to do them
than at the kk children and women's hospital??!

so after our plm meeting,
we proceed to kk hospital..
Initially we are shy and dare not conduct surveys..
but nisha is brave and did the first of the surveys..
thereafter giving us ourage to ask ppl to do survey..
it was funny taking surveys at hospital,
with the nurses giving all the strange looks at us..
and even one claim that she's the managing nurse(aka head of nurses)..
and say we needa permit b4 we can conduct any surveys..

Yea right, nursey..
i think u got sore becos we didn't survey u..
green eyes huh..
too bad..we just DUN like U!!!!!!!!!!

sigH,
my childhood experience is to become a doctor..
I saw a lot of aspiring doctors at the hospital..
all so young..and wear specs too..
sometimes i wonder if i made the right choice
the right choice in my future/career..
i wonder if i made any wrong mistake
in choosing my poly..but now..
i have no regrets about that..
becos i can do R&D on drugs..
assisting the doctors to fight diseases..
yup, indirectly, i'm a doctor???!

the past few days have been saddening..
with the unexpected news..
whenever i'm free
i will think of the smses..
i think i still can't reli let go yet..
it's just so hard to let it all go..
let it all go away..
time is not everything..
but i believe time can prove everything..
time can do wonders..
so pls, time..
heal my pains..
my agony..
my heartbreak..
my life..

HaPpY oR NOT?????????

This morning..
I got this msg from the gal i liked..
asking me if i'm serious when i said i like her..
I'm surprised to receive such a msg early in the morning..
I thot i'm dreaming...
but the msg is still stored in my phone..Till now..
So, i'm not dreaming..

Though i wish to tell her immediately..
I sms to ask why she ask me that..
I thot that she had sense my real feelings for her
and were ready to accept me..
but she replied that becos our classmates
has been teasing about us being together..
so she wanna know the truth behind the teases..
She promised me that
she'll take whatever i'm going to tell her
as the truth..absolute truth..and she promised
it won't hurt our present friendship..
After much consideration,
i confessed that i still like her..
haven changed a single bit..
as long as she's happy, i'm ok..
then i wait eternal minutes before i got her reply..

Her reply was like a shot to my heart..
I feel like crying but i can't...
Cos my heart's crying aloud so much
that my eyes have no more tears to flow..
She may not be able to know it..
and i wish she never would have known..
She's the one i felt so deeply for..

Some of my friends have been consoling me..
thanks to u all..u know huh u're..
heartfelt thanks to u all...
i know i'm not alright now..
but i promised u all that i'll try to get over it soon..
give me time..
Time is what i need to heal these painful wounds..

We would be seeing each other tml..
I'm not sure how i gonna face her..
but somehow i just know that i need to be 'normal'
so it won't make her feel bad/sorry
about the stuff she told me today..
at least that's the least i can do for the one i like..
and wish her the best in her relationship..

Resolutions: 2004 & 2005

2005-01-01T22:29:00.000+08:00

Looking at my 2004 resolutions, i notice that i have actually meet some of the goals of them..haha, i'm so happy..

Well, i have 5 resolutions for 2004 :train for NS, spend more time with friends, treat my didi better, stay happy n cheerful from start till end of day, be more friendly..

Out of these 5 resolutions, i managed to fulfilled three of them, except the NS one..
Yea, if there's one thing i dread doing, that's exercise..

During the year, i notice some of my flaws which i have always been trying to hide..i'm not brave enough and i'm very dependent on people..dependent on people to tell me what i need to do..not brave enough to go on stage and speak..not creative enough..i have a lot of flaws which i should not possess as a gemini..i should be adventurous, daring/brave, outspoken etc..But instead i'm quite the opposite of these qualities..

So i hereby made a new set of resolutions for 2005:
1. Be braver
2. Be outspoken
3. Be creative
4. Be outgoing
5. train for NS

LooKinG BacK @ 2004...

2004-12-31T23:55:00.000+08:00

Yr 2004 is a really memorable one for me..Many Joys, Unhappiness, Sadness had filled my heart at certain point of time..

Course of study:
I'm glad to know i got into my course of first choice..Meaning i might be able to go into..
research & development of drugs if i further my studies..However, my grades have been constantly plummet..affecting my gpa..but perhaps i should count my blessings as i do not need to repeat any subjects..

Media in singapore:
News of the two media corporations is merging brought a sudden surge of despondent to me..I have always thought that channel U and channel I (previously known as TV works) brought pride and honour to singapore for its radical ideas of the variety shows, the dramma serials, comedy/sitcoms, informative shows, etc..It's been 4 years of entertainment from them..A very superb, wonderful, eventful, interesting, entertaining, fun, and touching 4 years with us..I never thought singapore can do breakthrough in anything except maybe the SIA and airport..But they proved that we are more cappable of other things if we wanted..by wining prestigious awards..and getting more nominations than channel 8 over the same past four years..They showed us that if u set ur goals, go for it..its achievable!!..Even if u failed later, the experience is what that matters more than anything else..so i just want to THANK YOU U & I!!! thank u for the amazing 4 years u brought to us..without u, life would never be the same again..

Tsunami disaster:
It's really sad that such natural disaster should happen at all..the christmas day was barely over when this disaster strikes..I dun really read the papers, so i got to know this information from my friend who reads news everyday..I'm really sad that such events should happen near new year..it brings a sad note to the end of the year as well as start of the year..I'm not in the mood for party anymore..when i wish people happy new year, i'm actually doing lip service i guess..i dun really mean it anymore..i have utterly no mood for wadever celebrations..who cares if its a new year?? as long as this disaster don't come, i can stay at year 2004 forever if it need be..i dun care about 2005..whichever year doesn't matter anymore when thousands have died..I know i can't help out much as there's little i can do to help, i donate some part of my allowance but its only a small part..though i dun think i help much, i do hope it will help them to tide over the disaster..For all that i could do, i hope and pray that the families affected by tsunami will get better soon..and live life as normal..i hope, i pray, all be well soon.
