Frohe Weihnaehten und alles Gute zum Neujahr!
means Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

That is German.

My life feeling empty again after i came back from BK and after pch left. This was somewhat similar to how i felt 3 years ago when she left. Hai... You can yearn for the life you want, you can miss the people you love but life has to continue as usual. The earth doesnt stop turning no matter what happens on earth.

Year 2005 ended meaningfully coz i found back the VALUE of FRIENDSHIP. Its going to end with all the empty & lonely feelings but with a grateful heart. Not all my friends will see this. But i want to say THANK YOU to my friends who were there when i needed them. I dun have a lot things in life, all that i have is what that is me, all that i have is what i value & treasure, all that i have is wat that is close to my heart, all that i have is wat pple give me, all that i have is what i'm grateful for.

New year resolution
I think i mention a bit abt my new year resolution last time. My only resolution is to wake up my idea and have more brains to think things carefully & sorts things out in a better way. To get my stupid thoughts right. When the right thing happen at the wrong time, everything still goes wrong in the end. Nobody is going to be there for me forever to remind me this and that. Being young is not an excuse to make mistakes & repeat mistakes. be INDEPENDANT.

Next, to be less narrow-minded. Be a happier person. get to know my friends better. Care more for the people around me. Care more for my family and friends. To be a better friend.

thats it for now...
--------

Anyway i removed the tagboard for some time coz very few pple or virtually no1 leaves a msg for me. and only a few pple read my blog... so ya...

Pch, thanks eh, my hair doesnt curl that well. permed hair is a troublesome beautiful shit. i seriously dun care abt my hair looking good if not for the money spent. i only care abt the money i spent. i'm LAZY. i dun like to spend hours dressing up & looking great. But i wan to look good when i feel like it... sounds contradicting. thats me.

I am watching Full House now :) Going to finish soon. wow ho. I love the songs inside.

15th December Wednesday
Saw Bangkok city most high-class and new shopping mall - Siam Paragon...
Went in to use the toilets and see how big izzit, its too expensive to shop there... We walked quite a distance inside b4 we found the washrooms. Wide variety of food on 1st level.


Siam Paragon

Siam Paragon, Pride of Bangkok.

Glorious Phenomenon...

Car show in Siam Paragon...

Ate the famous egg tarts @ Kanom in Siam Square.

Enjoying the egg tarts... I like the Xmas decor of this shop. I love this shop & the egg tarts!

inside ka-nom...

We ate steamboat for dinner at MBK, Ma Boon Kong.
16th December Friday
We went to Grand Palace with Chor Hoon & her thai fren- Nuny. Thais dun have to pay for going in. Sharon managed to pass off as a thai at the entrance for thais. We were trying to act as thai nationals while entering with chor h & nuny but I was kinda giggling so they saw through me & ask me to buy a ticket!!! It is 250 THB!
at the entrance, ch said i can't pass off as a thai...

nuny looking so cute... haha...

(left to right) Sharon, ChorHoon & me. Why muz they alwaz make me look short in the photos?!!

tallest structure in the Grand palace...

grand looking structure...

We are going to cross a river near the Grand Palace to another place...

see the red rooftop of the palace.. we were at that grand palace juz now...

Bridge in the background...

me!
After crossing the river, we are at another shopping paradise!!! Bangkok is really all about shopping!!! A lot of flea markets along the streets & roadside...


flea market again!!!

Banana dessert, taste sweet... *yummy
17th December, Saturday
we woke up late. Took their mrt known as BTS skytrain to Chatuchuk. The weekend market - ChatuChuk, also known as JJ is the longest & biggest shopping market. The things are cheap but its so scary because there're many sections that sell anything from bag, shoes to plants and animals... WHy scary?? Coz its too big to walk finish in one day, we started at around 1pm and left at 4.30 because we had no $$$ to continue.
One day pass for BTS skytrain. If i din remember wrongly, its 100 THB for the 1-day pass.

BTS Skytrain staion...
18th December, Sunday
Went to German class with Chor & Nu at the Goethe-Institut Bangkok. Yes they are learning German. Thought that i can learn something but I dun understand what the teacher is teaching because it was taught in thai!!!!!


Goethe-Institut Bangkok

Goethe-Institut

(left to right) nuny, me & chorhoon in the classroom...
@ KTV... i cant remember how much but price is reasonable, the rate is per hour cost. Rooms nice & comfortable.. I like the room wallpaper. N-Sync huge poster in the background.


We went to KTV in the afternoon. They only have a few chinese oldies, F4 songs and popular Korean series theme songs. THe rest is all thai & english songs... so i din get to sing a lot. Sang Korean "I Believe" with the help of translated pronounciation. and my friends said i sound better in korean songs & ask me go learn korean?!!
19th December Monday
Went to dye my hair near their college, it was one hour car travel without traffic jam from Bangkok city.

at the hair salon...

my hair undergoing bleaching... we all going to dye our hair :)

We ate at Narai Hotel had buffet for dinner at 395 THB abt SGD 16! Nuny said it wasnt this price, it was cheaper but i think its peak season, then they increase price. The food is ok but i din overeat though its buffet. Thai chilly is very spicy! Usually its spicy & sour taste.
20th December Tuesday
Nuny drove us to visit Chor Hoon & her hostel. I love their hostel coz its so spacious & cosy.

Infront of chorhoon's desk.. i like the bathroom door with the Winnie the Pooh & Friends decor.

Ate opposite their school, at some roadside stall that only open in the night...

20th December
Last destination of our trip was @ Khao San. I had a shock as Khao San seems like a very havoc place. Foreigners go there to drink and dance. There is also flea market as usual but we went there after 11pm so most stalls already tidied up and left.


Last destination of the trip at Khao San...

night life @ khao san...

Food stalls open late after the flea market is gone...

Posh looking van-truck??? found at khao san...

ang moh at the Khao San street blowing this long instrument...

Chor. & Nu. ...
I'm back. Trying to post pictures but photobucket is close for maintainence.

I realise i am not such a good friend anymore, not a good friend to my own buddies. My bestest friends of life. I am not such a goood & caring friend who will be there all the time, not a good friend that i used to be... I'm juz so caught up in my small world...

I realise it during the bangkok trip, on the last day. I realise i have been neglecting a friend who treats me as her best friend. PCh, *sorry. I'm glad that i went there, even if it was at the expense of my savings. Friends give pple the strength to carry on in life because they know they have friends who will be there for them when they are needed.

I dun even want to come back... Bangkok is shopping. I spent a lot on shopping. but i juz dun wan to come back here. spore is small & boring. no life. I heard some ugly thing abt singapore govt. I LOVE chor hoon's hostel. she is graduating next year, i guess i'll never have a chance to go back there. I MISS bk, i miss them...

Chor Hoon's thai friend, pretty Nuny ;p was nice to drove us around on the last day. She is not such a bad female driver. Thais dun care abt wat traffic rules. There is traffic jam in bangkok everyday! Flight to go home is at 11.45, we arrive airport at 11 coz of the traffic jam!!!

thats it for now.. till i post the pictures.

thailand thailand here i come...
Yeappie, i'm flying to bangkok tomorrow. Going with one friend to visit our friend there, free and easy travel. I juz hope i dun overspend. You know how i can shop like nobody's business... i'm working but i'm spending a lot too!!! Will be back on next wed. The thought of taking aeroplane & looking out and i will see white clouds all over... i've some sort of fattish for aeroplans. heh.

Anyway work as been ok. I have not met the worst & unreasonable customers yet, though there're a few called-in customers who are very mah fan!!! I'm helping walk-in customers exchange new battery as there is a batch of batteries have problem. This battery comes with certain Nikon cameras. This 1-to-1 exchange can only be done at the Nikon service centre, they muz bring in their old battery for exchange as we need to record down some things and print a warranty for them. Recently this woman called in to ask about the battery exchange, she requested us to deliver the battery to her and she is willing to pay the to & fro delivery cost. After abt 4,5 times of communication with her over the phone, we finally arranged for her the date & time of delivery, then she said her husband will collect it for her!!! troublesome pple... but this is customer service.

Oh ya pple, to those who owned cameras, before u want to use your camera for overseas trip or any important occasion. Please take out your cameras at least 2 weeks before hand. Coz u never know what can happen. Always expect the unexpected. Techicians usually need at least 7 working days to repair cameras. Some customers only bring in their camera 2 days before their trip and expect us to repair immediately so they can use. I handled one such customer. He is leaving on saturday night, so he took out his camera on wednesday then he realised there's problem with the image, so he came in on thursday. So happen the part required for the repair is not available and it's only coming in the following week or later. Then he demanded me to ask them to use the same part from other camera and replace the part when it arrive. He was telling me that is what car companies do, they take out parts required from other cars for repair!!!??? I mean cars are cars, cameras are cameras. They are completely 2 different thing. Of cos Nikon can't do that! Then i kept saying sorry but he still dun give up and repeated the car company story blah, blah, blah... He was lucky enough coz i asked my colleagues again, they said the parts are arriving in the afternoon. He didnt scold me but its the things he say & comment that makes pple irritated. This is customer service...

STUPID SCH FEE FUCKING EXPENSIVE

ISNT BETTER TO ROB THE BANK….IDIOTIC MAN…..

Dad had a shock when he saw the school fees was SGD $5000+!!!! How many pple dun even earn $5000 a month?? TOday its complain queen here... a lot things i wan to complain...

Parents, our great great dad & mum, they had to work, scrimp & save so hard so there is savings to let us receive good education, maintain livelihood and provide us with a conducive environment to grow up.

I come from a single income family, dad is the sole breadwinner. but he retired. We seldom eat out in the past. Parents didnt renovate our old house since we moved in. They never went further than china for holiday. They only ate at some cheap coffee shop nearby if mum didnt cook. They seldom shop, they only buy necessities. WHy, why & why? To save money for the 3 of us! I want to say THANK YOU dad.

Spending is much easier & faster than saving. In one minute that i shopped, i can juz spent $10 on accessories that i probably only wear once or i don't even wear them at all!!! No doubt i use my own hard earn money to shop.. but i dun feel goood abt spending money like that when dad & mum has to scrimp & save, and i juz eat one meal at some places sakae sushi and spent $20!!!

Next year is coming soon, so my birthday is coming, i'm not hinting to anyone. Yes my 21st bday is coming, i am those kind who dun bother much abt my own birthday since dunno when. I will still celebrate it somehow for the sake that is a 21st bday. Looking at the past, looking at the mistakes i have made, i must be more clear-headed and dun repeat the same mistakes. I wonder what my brains are made of... I hope i can learn how to think things clearly at the right time and sort things out in a better way. When the right thing happen at the wrong time, everything still goes wrong in the end.

Mistakes. Sometimes its better to learn from other people's mistakes. If u experience it yourself, its learning the painful way but u learn it better. But What if pple dun forgive u for the one & only one mistake u made even after u apologized? Well dun be upset because it cant be helped, as long as you yourself know u've done wrong and really changed for the better. Sad to say some mistakes are unforgivable. Pray abt it. But what if u dunno u're wrong? So u need friends to remind you, that is one role of a friend - Bring you back to the right path.

Do you know?

Do you know?
How Blood Saves Lives
Blood contains many life-saving components which can help to treat different illnesses and injuries.
Within six hours after a unit of blood is donated, it can be processed into blood products to treat a variety of medical conditions.

Whole Blood
Whole blood is used to restore blood volume whenever large amounts of blood have been lost eg. as a result of accidents, injury or during surgery and childbirth.

Red Blood Cells
Red cells carry vital oxygen through the body. It is used by patients who suffer a loss of blood due to trauma, surgery.

Plasma
Plasma is used mainly in emergency treatment of shock or in cases of severe burns.

Platelets
Platelets play an essential part in blood clotting, for instance, to treat patients with severe haemorrhage or leukaemia. Often one patient will need platelets from 10 donors or more, in a short time. These cells have a life span of only 5 days. Hence, the blood bank stock need to be constantly renewed.

Cryoprecipitate
Cryoprecipitate contains the clotting substance which is absent in patients who suffer from haemophilia.

Blood is vital to life and for many people, blood donors are their life-line. At least 200 blood donations are needed each day in Singapore to meet the needs of patients. Your blood donation could help save the life of an accident victim, a patient with kidney failure, liver disease or burns, a newborn baby, someone undergoing major surgery or a patient living with cancer or severe anaemia.

Modern processing techniques mean that a single blood donation, when separated into its components, can help at least three different patients.

Blood means life. Give life today.
There's someone who needs the gift of your blood now.
Pls donate at:
Bloodbank@HSA Centre for Transfusion Medicine
Health Sciences Authority
11 Outram Road
(Opposite Outram MRT)
Singapore 169078
Tel: 6220 0183

With courtesy, from HSA

知足 - 五月天

知足 - 五月天

词:阿信 曲:阿信

怎么去拥有 一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱 一夏天的风
天上的星星 笑地上的人
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够
如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有

当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛

那天你和我 那个山丘 那样的唱着
那一年的歌 那样的回忆 那么足够 足够我天天 都品尝着寂寞  

当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空  
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动  
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛  

如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有  
如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有    

知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛  
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
MAYDAY!!! wowho!!! They are not any good looking guys but they are TaLentEd MeN!!! When i heard it from tv for 1st time i LOVE it!!! Saw the lead singer, ah xin, singing this song on tv. Simple yet touching lyrics & music. Zhi Zu - Contented. How& when do you feel contented? Human beings can never be contented, we always want more & better things!! We dun stop there, we keep improving, keep discovering new technology.. and there comes all the mp3 players, 3G phones... ...

Looking at my stage of life, i cant say i'm very contented coz no1 can ever be fully contented but i'm some what a easily contented person. I juz want to do well in the things i do but not being at the top of others. How to say? Competition is good but i want to do things for myself not to outdo others & climb to the top. I dun like fierce competition that spoils relationships in office and blahh.. Friendly competition?? Possibly its alright.

I'm contented with certain things... I feel so fortunate for having my family & friends. When i hear pple complain abt their siblings or how they wish they can have a brother or sister, I know i'm really lucky becoz i'm the youngest in the family. I've both an elder sister & oldest brother who're much older than me. Not that we're very close but i'm thankful for them. They took care of me when i was a baby. Now they are all so busy~! Brother used to pick dishes for me during meals, my bowl would be full and i can't finish!!! Then he would scold me!!! He scolded me quite often when i was in primary school. Scolded me for what issues?? Dunno. I only know he was fierce when he reprimanded me, i cried. I cant rememeber all now.. i juz realised only a small portion of my memories go to my family!!! This is bad. i need to recall... Next, when i was sitting on the rocking chair in grandparents house, (those chairs that can swing slightly forward & backwards), he would stand behind the chair & scare me, coz i dun dare to "rock" the chair too hard. *irritating :p

As for sis, the only thing is shopping with her coz her dress sense is better than mine. I used to be the family spoilt brag until i entered sec. school.. haha. cant believe rite. Now i am not even the family princess :( Ya and the whole family complexion is far better than mine, so my pimple-problem is not hereditary, is retribution. Good question here, so what is the root of the problem? The doctors probably wont know, but they are "closer" to the answer. I had seen a few doctors, they all gave me same medicine & same story.

Gosh! See how i can talk abt one thing to another that is not related at all!!! Shall continue with my feelings abt this song & the title when my mood comes... i need to sleep now!!!

每个人对幸福的定义都不一样。。。

幸福和快乐的定义是因人而异的, 但无可否定的是幸福和快乐是需要努力的。

机会是别人给你的, 自己也得保握好机会。

什么是幸福呢? ...

Haven been to the Rock at suntec for some time due to exams & laziness. The Rock is the name of the place of new creation church. Today message is to Believe in Him through both the good & the bad times.

快乐其实可以很简单。。。原谅曾经对不起你的人,打从心里再接受他们。相信他是无心的,原谅他是有意的。 因为相信比较快乐, 因为懂得原谅是难能可贵,但却是幸福的。 相信祖会更爱你给你最好的。

some thoughts here & there after listening to today message. i express my feelings better in chinese.. haha. i love chinese. i'm proud that i'm a Chinese...
FLYING cockroach really spoil my nights!!! The only way to catch them is use pesticide and keep spraying until it is dead or at least it cant fly and lies there half dead.

Cockroaches fly into my room through the windows. They come in in the night during certain weather. Spore is too humid & hot! I live on the 6th floor & they still can fly this high! Luckily when it flies in, mum & dad are at home. Good thing mum is around. She is the 1st one to grab the pesticide, chase & spray until it is dead. Mum is fast. Thank you mum.

Today it was dad that gave chase but it escaped! It should be unable to fly now and hiding in some corner. Hopefully it is dead. I need to comb the room tmr!

Life has been the same everyday as a student preparing for exams!!!

If u're wondering who is the singer, Cheng Lin is the taiwan variety show WoCai Wo Caix3 host. She was from this long time ago girlband call 4-in-Love. Very kawaii!!! She just released her 1st album!

I dedicate this song to everyone. If u are upset or feeling lost and hopeless, do not give up, smile!!! *gambette!

下一次微笑 杨丞琳
上一次微笑之后 世界遗漏了什么 怎么会突然忘了许多感动

难过的事总有好多 头顶的天空总是灰濛濛
流泪的时候 却忘了为什么

淡红色指头 陪我煎熬 黑夜破晓 在嘴边咬了又咬
我好想忘掉 为何烦恼 对着天空大声的叫

下次微笑 你会看到 我真心上扬的嘴角
有人会在天涯海角 种一片草原 看我奔跑

下次微笑 我会骄傲 放晴的感觉多么好
不放弃总会等得到 我那熬过风暴 真的微笑

不放弃总会等得到,希望我下次微笑时是真心开心地笑。 =)

Little things really make me happie!!! Chatted with one of my ex-cj monkeys on msn. heh..
His theory abt having a girlfriend makes me smile.... want to share with you all.

me says:
u leh got gf???
Oeij ~ says:
no lah
Oeij ~ says:
i have not had any gf since cj
Oeij ~ says:

Oeij ~ says:
having a gf is like a car
Oeij ~ says:
the COE is burning a hole down my pocket
Oeij ~ says:

Oeij ~ says:

Oeij ~ says:

Oeij ~ says:

Oeij ~ says:
mwahahahahahah
Oeij ~ says:
jk jk
Oeij ~ says:
=)

I find it rather crappy but true to some extent.. haha.
I dunno if this is the right thing but i think i did the right thing. I talked to a friend abt some things which i feel i muz make things clear. It doesnt matter what he thinks or what will happen. At least i've clarified things. so thats it. yeah.

What will happen will happen. The earth continues turning non-stop no matter what happens. I'm already very blessed and lucky with what i have now, so what can be a big deal? Nothing at the moment! A friend once told me "Some pple life are like bed of roses, everything goes smoothly for them, NO big problems or downfalls." I dunno if my is but I feel i have yet to experience the worst in my life. I have a premonition that this something will happen and take my family happiness away. I'm not paranoid now. I seldom have hunch about future but i do have reasons for this hunch. Hmm... *Dun think so much. *pray. move on.

I like this song by superstar kelly, she performed well for this song. original singer is Ah Mei Zhang Hui Mei but i never heard ah mei version before. got to know this song through kelly :)

Thats to myself.

De reminded me that i didnt update my blog. so here's one abt the movie i watched...

I watched
Charlie & the Chocolate FActorY I clean forgotten its Roald Dahl's children novel until i clicked onto some link at the website. Then i recalled I read "Matilda" when i was a kid. The movie is C-U-T-E, the characters in the factory are funnie & cute. Light humor at some point in the movie. I like the winter season town. I like the squirrles. There are many squirrels, though i dunno if they are real or computer-made ones, but they are so cute. If there are no other nice movies showing now, i recommend this one.

What do u think of watching a horror movie during the 7th lunar Month? Hmm i want & dun want to watch
The Maid. Its juz my own taboo, i rather not watch horror movies during 7th month, i'll be scared and in case anything happens. Things that cant be seen by the naked eye doesnt mean that they dun exist!!! Bedtime now...

I just read a friend's blog. Pondering upon some things she wrote. Quoting from pch's blog

"I just realized that love is when you pluck enough courage to let someone go and still genuinely wish for that person's happiness without you being any part of it.

Many people like many people. many people hate many people. all i can say is do something, don't hope for a response or for something back, you'll get all the peace in the world... i know being loved is easy.. loving is difficult. there's an overlap though..
you dun have to be attached to be happy.
and that's a lot.. coming from someone like me. "


I agree. Liking someone without hoping for any reciprocation makes me happier at least. I'm lying if i say I never had the thought that me & him would be together but i just wanted him to be happie. and for things to remain the same. thats it. True giving indeed is not hoping for anything in return. If only things were this simple. Well things juz dun go my way. Things happened. I'm learning to face it with an open mind & heart. Be optimistic abt it. its no big deal. Take life as it comes. I know impossible spells us. I knew it all along, right from the start. I am not doing anything abt it. I be myself & let things take its nature course. Let God take care of it, whatever it is.

I only want to be a happie person. Different pple play different role in society. Some are meant for more tedious, stressful, high pay jobs... some for more monotonus, low pay job... I dunno what my role would be but i want to be a happie & simple person. Happy-go-lucky???


First, Reject the idea that happieness lies in the possession of material things, and refuse to make money just for the sake of it. Take life as it comes, laugh a little bit more, and try to find pleasure in simple things.
Second, Enjoy your work. It will not meet the deepest needs of your soul, but it is good to be engaged in a task, however menial that task may be.
Third, Regard everything that God has given you as a gift rather than as something you've earned. Those who say 'I made so much money this year' forget that if God had not given them the health and strength to work, they would never have earned the money. A grateful spirit ought to characterise every one of us.

from Everyday with Jesus, 25 Jul 2005

So many things, easier said than done. Dun just say, DO IT.


Sunday, July 24, 2005

Ni zhen is right. NO use thinking of "what if", what abt the future? GOOD question but NO answer. I dun've a solid, concrete plan though there're a lot thinking and scenarios on my mind about my future. Perhaps to be a mother of 2 like you :) If i'm a single, i wan to earn more money to go travelling around the world. If i'm going to be married, i wan to give my children the best, NOT in terms of material stuff or money.

All these finance crap thing i'm learning is valuable knowledge in singapore but NOT my type of thing. Knowledge in Finance can u earn big money, but so? So many pple in nus ntu, or so many pple everywhere have to make do with what they have for the sake of a degree, for the sake of being in a prestigious uni. They fought so hard with what they dun like, with the hectic workload. So many have done it. That's their own problem, NOT mine. There are also those blessed, lucky, rich chaps with money to choose, not only the course, but the university too. That's also their problem. At least i know i'm not poor until i've to support my own education.

Message of the day: IF before u done it, u already knew u wont do well becoz u simply dun've the heart to do it well. Either change the "heart", do it well OR stop doing it. 要做就要到最好,不然就不要做。

I'm closing down my blog soon or i'll blog even less often. Cant write things off my mind freely here, pointless.

HAve u ever wished that...

HAve u ever wished that u were born earlier?
Yes. I wished i'm born at least 5 yrs earlier so i'm working now, i dun've to depend on my retired parents.

HAve u ever wished that u are always a certain age?
YEs. I wished i'm alwayz 15 yrs old. I only need to play and study without having to worry abt other things. Even more simple-minded me!

Have u ever wished that time could juz stop at that year or at the moment?
Yes. I wished time can stopped at the year 2000. i enjoyed every good & bad thing that happened that yr. it was more joy than tears.

Have u ever wished that u & ur friend friendship can remain the same like last time?
YEs. I have friends whom i hoped our friendship can remained a certain way. We could talk abt anything under the sun but now...

Have u ever wished u can salvage a friendship so it can be like in the past?
Yes. We are not enemies but we are friends that behave like strangers. I want to do something abt it but what can i do when the greater part of the problem lies w me.

Have u ever wished that a fairy tale can happen in your own life?
YEs. I longed to have a good friend like Dao Ming Si in Meteor Garden or Shan Zi from The Outsiders. Both characters like their buddy's gf. He is always there for the girl but never snatch her from his buddy, instead help them made up when they 'fight'.

HAve u ever wished that you are a super star?

YES! I wish i am a singer or some actress. I wan to take up all sorts of roles with those smart looking uniform like the pilot uniform!! air-stewardess??!! LAwyer's suite looks smart too.

Have u ever wished that u can see God or angel one day?
YEs. I hope so even if its only in my dreams.

Everything is fated. Today message for me as i opened to the page is for me to see that setbacks & success in life are part of His purpose for me, and thus praise Him in everything.

REad today's headlines: NKF CEO's $600,000 pay revealed in court. After reading the full report, i wonder how CREDIBLE is NKF? To think that the CEO actually flew on FIRST class cabin & built some GOLD-plated tap in his office bathroom using the PUBLIC DONATIONS! I juz watched the news, now NKF is withdrawing their charges against ST reporter for alleged defamation. They sued SPH and its reporter for defamation that a article implied NKF has misused funds collected from the public. I believe that the patients really need financial assistance but the board of directors are questionable people. The public has the right to know what is their salary and how they use the funds coz is our hard earned money and savings. I kinda sympathise with the artistes who are are obliged to perform in the charity show. They practised so hard, some even injured themselves, only to raise funds for the patients but at the end NOT all the money goes to where it should hav been. After this incident, how many would still want to donate money to them?

I'm happie that things are settled. Sometimes it really takes a lot courage to speak out but after doing so i feeel better. If I'm unhappy & i DUN talk things out, its EITHER i forget abt it after complaining OR i feel some resentment against pple. Some time ago i mentioned i was quite disappointed w a fren, talk to him yesterday abt some doubts i had, i rather choose to believe him than to guess & "decipher" if he is telling the truth. Now i feeel much better talking things out coz i know how others feel and pple know how i felt & i dun bear grudges against anyone :)

Wah... The Art of Speaking..i alwayz talk a lot crap & rubbish but when it comes to important things, is juz so hard to get the words out of my mouth. Or when i eventually say it out, my attitude really sucks. How to be straightforward & tactful at the same time? (I) Muz learn muz learn... the Art of Speaking.. Art of Communication...

To me agreeing to go for go out no matter for wat purpose.. as long as u agreed is considered a promise. Unless u really have a good reason to NOt to come.

I ask a friend out for dinner on monday which is yesterday... I asked him on friday. HE agreed. Then yesterday i received an sms which was supposed to be sent to some1 else instead. From that sms, its obvious he has other appointment later. He said he needs to leave at 7.30pm. There's no point in meeting for an hr to've dinner & chit chat. I told him i wanted to postpone to tues. Then he gave me EXCUSES. In the end i told him we arrange again.

My point is u already promised me to meet earlier when i asked u. Then last minute u come and tell me u need to leave at 7.30 And that u're going home for dinner???!!! When its so obvious that u're going out! I'm qte disappointed in him seriously... NOt beacuse i like him but becoz of a friend whom i treated as a BUDDY even though he NEVER did. I've not done any wrong on my part as a friend. So what's the problem?? I really want to know pls tell me if u're reading this. I really hope this is only a misunderstanding.

If you are wondering where i disappeared to... I am working for 2 weeks, helping my friend stand in as office assistant. BAcially is doing everything from reception to admin work. I have to copy & paste japan golf clubs information from the website to excel sheet until the list finishes, very monotonous job that i had headache 1 day. I'm not complaining. at least i've a job. I'm helping my colleagues research info on asia's golf course. There is not much statistics on golf in asia. I found out some facts: Japan has 2338 golf courses!!! China has around 25 provinces. Vietnam has 9 golf courses. Laos, "ulu" country in southeast asia, most probably has none coz i cant find anything.

Today went visiting with my jc pals, sam & tze h. Lys sprained his left foot during NS and when it was going to recover he fell down the stairs & injuried his RIGHT foot!!! HE has already stayed at home for 6 months... I like to hear them talk abt NS though i dun understand some things. They juz wan to slack in ns and have a goood life...

On friday , my colleagues were talking abt wealthy pple they know of. Suddenly i'm very curious abt rich children whose parents run a huge family business. haha... Fairytales? Do they really exist? The meteor garden 流星花园 story, does it happen in any part of this world?

Tuesday, June 07, 2005

I juz saw my results yesterday and one word, they SUCK. and i know WHY they do. If grades continue to be like that i rather quit for goood. Juz "got it" from my mum after she saw the result slip. Rather not talk abt it. Any1 knows how to put video clips on the blog? If you know, pls leave a msg on tagboard. Thanks :)
Posted a few photos from the wedding dinner. The guests are better than punctual, they arrive early. Pple here wake up early too. It was successful but most of the photos are not up to standard coz they are NOT taken by ME...heh. When comes to taking photos, I'm very particular. Some pple dun like it, they are more "chin chai" abt it. I like to take everything from pple to buidlings, even the toilet if is very high class looking. One thing very important when u're takin photo is u muz signal to pple u're gg to take the pic, so they can get ready. FOR 2 consecutive days in muar, malaysia we ate 大鱼大肉, very sumptuous meals. Every lunch & dinner is in the restuarant, there is big serving of fish, meat, chicken, pork, veggie, du fu.. Too much of delicacy. Now the look of these food make me wan to puke. I have something light for these few days meals. Craving for potato chips & cornflakes now...

this is call Fruit fish. delicious but expensive.

cousins & me at the wedding dinner...

The newly wed couple, cousins & me...

pi li pai lat...

Fire crackers!!! ??????

Life is nothing but one word boring. Jobs are so hard to find. Who is going to employ me only for one month? I *wish. Is probably good i can spend time upgrading myself. haha. Suppose to read finish this novel call "The Last Juror" by John Grisham but the story is still "dangling" there. I dun really read, juz that i want to spend some time reading and absorb knowledge from reading. Actually i think reading needs discipline, sitting there, like immerse in your own world, following the events in the novel. I prefer detective or mystery type of stories. Most of John Grisham books are detective like stories brought to the courts. He used to be a lawyer.

Looking forward to brother's wedding dinner this sat in malaysia. yeah. Coz most of my paternal relatives are there. M'sia cheap & nice foood. wah haha. I really am putting on weight & FATS!!!

Ok gtg for now... wat else but watch tv at home?

Wednesday, May 18, 2005

Received the phone bill today and i got reprimanded by my parents. The home line bill is $60+ for the month of april. Because i made one call to NKF during one of the charity shows. I thought they stated clearly one phone call is a $5 donation. How come the bill says $43.20??? Had a shock. My parents told me they had a friend who had the same experience a few yrs back. They take more from you (per call) than what they claimed on the tv. Dad says is a lesson learnt with money spent. Going to get to the bottom of the truth.

I juz check out the website, there're 4 different numbers for different amt of donation. And the no. i called is an 8-line call which amounts up to $43.20! OMG! A warning to all who wants to make charity telepoll calls: Better be sure of amount u're donating before calling.

I know that is not any1 fault that the chalet has to be cancelled. and I appreciate the efforts of those who helped to organise and find pple to go, i understand that it can be very frustrating. Put yourself in other pple shoes, when u are the one who booked & paid for the place OR u're the one trying to organise some event, and pple tell u they dun wan to go in the end. How would u feel? If i say i'm not pissed, then i'm lying. Well there's no point in "forcing" pple to go juz for the sake of getting back the money. I just hope such things will not happen again.

Read jinny blog... and i want to emphasize on this again, There's NO ugly woman there's only lazy woman. yeah :)

Dressing up nicely, making yourself look good gives one more confidence. At least it makes me more confident provided i'm in the mood to dress nicely. ha. No one can be perfect in this world but can try to be your best. Be the best you can be. And be almost perfect? I've the sudden urge to want to be perfect. No doubt, character is still what that makes up a person. I hate to admit that looks are important. It is not? With all the what beauty salons, slimming centres, it seems like they're conveying the message that "Looks are very important". I really admire those with good complexion. I wan to look better without those bumps on my face. I know i'm fated to face this problem. Pple are bound to have problems. To those who will and probaly never have any major problems OR misery in life, you're very blessed & lucky. Till now, i am. i should complain less & be grateful. There is something that i wan to do yet i've been draggin for yrs coz is quite expensive, that is putting braces. Seeing a dentist can cost more than seeing a doctor. Shall see what i can do abt it...

There are so many things i wan to do... travelling, shopping... Nowadays i just wan to take aeroplane!! I havent take aeroplane for 3 yrs!!! 3 yrs passed so fast... Dun've to be commercial flights. I wan to travel on helicopter or other kind of planes. ha. I do've some sort of obsession with planes, putting aside the heavy responsibilities of being a pilot, i think flying an aeroplane represents the freedom of flying like a bird...

I nearly turn a happie gathering into a depressing one... Ignorance is not bliss all time, sometimes knowing the truth helps your situation better. i'm stressed abt exams, i have no idea how to study finanical planning, but i've never felt this happie for so long. The gathering. Meeting a new friend whom feeels like an old friend. The meals, the short stay together, the crazy snapping of photos... I know i'm very lucky & blessed. Thank you God.

Some things in life, u dun've to try that hard or dun even have to try, it comes naturally.

This is the first time i blown up at my friend but is conflicts like that that help the problem and strengthens the friendship. Being a middle person is not easy...it can be very frustrating...

Is only a few days, but seem like a few yrs, so much happened. Learn a lot from others, so many thoughts in my head, all in bits & pieces...

test of man and woman...

there's a saying that... the ultimate test of finding a good woman is whether she would go through thick and thin with her man despite riches or poor...

and also... the ultimate test of finding a good man is how he is when he gets rich...
It takes a lot to show care & concern for pple, not juz by words but by actions. Actions speak louder than words. so...

Is really easy to NOT to care about some1 than to CARE for some1. But what if the person is one you love for 1,2 years, 5 yrs or even longer? How to let go of some1 you've loved for 5 yrs? Any idea? How NOT to care? One way and probably the best way is: Keep yourself occupied with things. There are a lot of things u can do. Take up courses u like, learn a new language, do voluntary work, work, clubbing, ktv, gambling, mah jong... What else? Avoiding? Keep away things that remind u of the him/her. Avoiding certain places. Avoiding the person? All these sure help but at the back of your mind, u still think of the him or her.

I'm not in love, i feel fortunate that i'm not my fren who is facing this problem. Is takes a lot to forget the someone you love for so long. My fren said she wants to be like me. She thinks that i've no BIG problems, so carefree. Yes the simple-minded and innocent me. A simple life is what i want. A simple life is what that makes me happy. Then how do u define happiness? Everyone has their own definition of what makes up success & happiness. I used to say i want to be a farmer slogging in the orchard plantation or herding sheeps when i lamented abt the stressful exams. Pple scold me crazy. Now i've this thought of being a farmer again. Even if i want to own a beautiful orchard plantation in australia or new zealand, i need capital! Scold me unrealistic, but dreams no matter what kind, is what that makes pple hopeful.

Or perhaps, i juz need pple to wake me up from my dream...

These days i seldom blog coz i've nothing to say, rather lazy also. I didnt upgrade or reformat my computer for like 2yrs+. It's already slow & have some problems, i wonder which day it will break down, need to do back up data asap.

My good friend, went overseas to study 3yrs ago, is back in Spore for short vacation. I wish that I can keep her company every day but exams are here and my time management sucks.
Hey chor h, *sorry. Eileen sure can handle you. haha.



Friday, April 01, 2005

Is already very late but i am not feeling tired at all coz i slept the whole afternoon!!! I was suppose to do my com law assignment today. I juz didnt feel like doing. I need to be more self-disciplined. I wont be blogging as often as exams are around the corner and i'm getting lazy to blog. Might juz close down my blog one day.

The Eye 10

The eye 10. A different approach to telling a ghost story, but in end there is still tragedy. No unexpected scary scene, but a little humour inflicted in the movie. Moral of the story is: Do not offend the spirits, and they would not come after you for no reason. I like the Pang brothers film, they're good directors for horror movies. I recommend this movie. Shall not elaborate on it, do catch The EYE 10. After u watched it, would you dare to try out the ten methods taught?

yesterday was a long day... project discussion... wanted to watch hitch with my fren but it was too late, i juz love sharon so much. ate at ajisen, tasty noodles. not too bad. and i was tired when i got home, so i fell asleep without doing anythin!!!! And my group are meeting up later!!! i'm so gonna be doomed, there's a bit of time left for me to start with a few slides b4 meeting them.... *Sorry pals. Guess wat i got for the com law test? i knew it as usual, CR. these 3 tests all the same grades, equally bad.

Good friday, the day that Jesus was crucified. Sunday is Easter Day, to commemorate Jesus resurrection.

Thursday, March 24, 2005

I think i really do have a problem here... when others are worried and pissed abt not doin well for tests, i'm NOT! I mean i kinda expected that i wld get such a grade for the macroeconomics test. And i always use the same excuse to console myself for the lousy grades & get away with the fact that i didnt study hard. What excuse? ---> "I never take econs before... thats y...and i dun like econs...econs not my type of thing..." I'm always finding excuses to console myself for my laziness, for my cant-be-bothered attitude. And when i know my buddy has got a HD, i was surprised coz he also didnt take econs b4. NOw i know, i really need to change my mediocre attitude, i juz hate to be competitive, is juz NOT in me, or maybe it is that i've yet to realize my "competitive potentials" or perhaps the bottom line is i dun even like wat i'm doing thats y?... And i hate the damn government for telling us to stay competitive so we wont lose out... blah x 3... ok i'm a bit anti-govt...

message of the day: If you've never study a subject before is not an excuse to not to do well in it. I
wan to believe that miracles do happen, i wan to remain hopeful, and i only run to Him when i've problems, i shall pray more...

"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction... Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life..." -Matthew 7:13

At long last, i finally completed my part of the financial planning project!!! The report is more or less ready. Last minute work really stresses me up, and it juz means sleepless night(s).Went over suz's house in the middle of the night, to wrap up my part. And i wan to say a big thank you to susan & vincent for their help.

When i'm occupied with things to do, and rushing to meet datelines, I would not have the time & mind to daydream or start thinking of things again. But doing projects & studying for exams is entirely a different thing, is far more difficult to focus your mind on studying. And next is exams. Whatever it is, i need a break now.

Thursday, March 17, 2005

doing the "wonderful" project now. i wanted to post a story juz now but the colors a bit not working, stupid blogspot, nv m. shall post it another day.

anyway i'm not at all frustrated, not even feeling a little down abt the mcs test. no no, i din do well, i got a grade that most of my mates have. but i juz cant be bothered with such a test. why? i dunno. i know is 40%. when it comes to this kind of test, it mayb harder to score coz the more u crap, the more mistakes u make? the more u write, the more out-of-point it goes? mayb i ought to reflect upon myself, being a student, but not feeling bad abt lousy grades.

getting really bored
weather is real hot
decided to blog.


juz a short update for yesterday's dinner. i ate with sharon at clementi, a eating paradise. a lot of coffee shops. The famous tiong bahru market chee kuay is there. I ate claypot rice & bbq chicken. And we tried the traditional indian threading for only five bucks, very good threading skills, but she trimmed my eyebrows too thin!!! Good thing they'll grow back soon i hope, if not i'd kill myself. After which me & sharon juz chatted for hours at the coffee shop. well conclusion is we din change much and we wish to get out of singapore.

this kind of weather
giving me headache...
need to get some rest..
before i really fall sick.
took this test from jinny's. i wish i am really beautiful for now. heh.

Awesome GirlYou
scored 82 looks, 75 personality, 50 politics, and 42 sex drive!

You're beautiful and you have a great personality. You either don't know or care about politics. You're probably a great wife or girlfriend, and you know how to make sure that the ones you love are happy. You're probably fun in a conversation and I'm sure that you are as loveable as you are beautiful. You either have a lower sex drive than most girls, or you've never had sex (which I commend you for), I'm sure that won't be a big deal for your partner, just make sure you find the right one.


Went back cj on thursday. below are some pics.

Good & bad memories, they are my past.

lauren & me, in the nice mango shirts :p

tze hern & me. at the grandstand, our fav hangout, e windiest place in sch~!
