Took my first economics test, and now i understand why pple say is difficult. I first came to know econs during the 1st 3 months in ji and cant understand anything besides the term "opportunity cost". It wasnt my cup of tea, so i din continue with the subject in jc. Well, it's interesting in a way but is very hard to apply the facts u've learned to the questions!!! This is only the beginning for me coz is a new subject, there are more things to come...

Read the chinese news after mum told me abt..A 23 yr old girl is suspected of throwing a new born baby down a rubbish chute!!! After that, she called her doctor, who informed the police. She's under investigation. How did she manage to bring herself to do such a cruel thing? Whatever reason she has cant justify her action. If found guilty, she has to serve life sentence or a maximum of 10 yrs imprisonment & other punishment.

The previous sentence reminds me that i've a law test this friday!!! and i haven't start studying coz of the 2 other tests in the same week~~~ It's the only module i like, there's no reason for me not do well!

Naughty zebin skipped class today but has a good reason for doing so, it is my friend's birthday today. We went to watch Constantine. Well Keanu Reeves has a little asian or chinese look. The movie is basically abt reeves who has gone to hell and back to earth, fighting the devils, demons. I think is a complicated story, the overall storyline is clear but as for the details to it, is confusing. After which we went kbox, and i'm still having sore throat and is worse after the long ktv session.

These few days i have been thinking a lot. I asked this again "Study so much for wat?" The more u learn, the more confused it gets. The more u know, the more u dun wan to know. And i juz realised that if u dunno wat u wan then is best to do something you like & excel in it, but den again ur interests or strong passion for something may not lead u anywhere. Dreams and reality can be very different. Dreams can turn into reality too. So izzit that pple really have no choice now or they simply lack the courage to walk out their own road to success? I guess i'm the latter. or mix of both. Recently i'm such an anti-social, i hope to know my classmates better & vice versa but yet i wan to be left alone at times. Perhaps i'm weird.

A penny for a thought i saw from some blog, what abt turning reality into dreams?

Constantine synopsis

John Constantine has been to hell and back. Born with a gift he didn’t want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine (KEANU REEVES) was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil’s foot soldiers back to the depths.

But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he’s a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroism. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn’t want your admiration or your thanks – and certainly not your sympathy.

All he wants is a reprieve.

When a desperate but skeptical police detective (RACHEL WEISZ as Angela Dodson) enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her beloved twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.

3 persons mah jong???

Met my frenz for dinner at sakae after which we proceed to pris house for mah jong, as she cant find pple to play mah jong, so we played a 3 person mah jong. We took out one set of tiles, is still qte fun though a bit messy at first as the number of tiles are much lesser. I was kinda slow coz I dunno how to play but the slow & steady wins the game. True enough, i won a few rounds at the beginning den started to lose everything when they speed up the game. I lost the most. With their constant "naggings" hurrying me to throw tiles, i cant even think properly. This is investing money in learning and playing, so i can brush up my mj skills to recoup my loss in future. haha. Gambling can be a very selfish game, you juz wan to keep winning even when ur frenz have lost a lot.

I have been sleeping & watching vcd or tv everyday, living a aimless life, really need to find back the motivated mindset to focus on studies. The tests, assignments & projects are all coming up... pple, gambette.

Had stomach ache coz i ate too much today. I woke up at 1pm. Ate those cny goodies, pineapple tarts and stuff, after that i ate a lot of curry chicken for lunch!!! Mum seldom cook curry and it was not bad. Then i had stomach ache or diarrhoea. Think my stomach cant take too much junk food but who cares. There's so much cny goodies at home, I'll continue tmr... haha.

I like chinese new year spent at my grandparents house in muar, malaysia. abt 4 hours car ride from spore. This year's cny is especially unforgettable coz my sister-in-law came with us and i got to see real fire crackers. They are abt 4 to 5 metres long. Over in m'sia, pple "put" fire crackers & sparkles throughout the new yr eve night to celebrate. And some sound exactly like a bomb exploding, is really loud. But i manage to fall asleep in the sounds of the fire crackers. haha. Too bad that i din take any pics of them...

Our own family reunion dinner in the messy, big kitchen at home.

Ah gong's house at muar, a small town.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Yeah, i'm going to malaysia to spend the cny coz my paternal relatives are there. Returning on thurs.

新年快乐 恭喜发财

this song makes me long for a home at the country side with green green pastures, blue blue sky, cloudy weather, sky full of bright stars... to be far far away from competitive & fast-paced lives...my greatest dream...

Home on the Range
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amused and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
And the skies are not cloudy all day

A friend called me and told me a little problem abt she & her bf, i advised her to face the problem and talk things out with him. Ya when there is a problem, pls do not hide, the best way is to face it with an open mind and share ur feelings. If you dun tell pple abt it, how would they know?! And even good friends cant read ur mind all the time.

Today's outing at ecp is not too bad. Except that i feel guilty. I couldn't brake in time and knocked into a guy who's roller blading. And guess wat? Obviously he fell down, and i apologized then i rode off. When i think back, i recalled he had a bad fall. I should have got down the bicycle and help him up or at least make sure he's really ok before going off. Is like an irresponsible driver who has knocked down someone and run away. My friend is right: Its through mistakes that people learn, and in some situations u have to pay for ur mistakes.

只想去面对，不想再逃避。

"Fixed" my blog.

Finally jogged near my house. I cant remember when was the last time i jogged around my neighbourhood. I discovered that at one side of the foot of Mount Faber, there are only 2 bungalows!!! Rich pple! Well but if i can choose what i want b4 i enter this world, i would not choose to be rich. I want to be intelligent with high iq & eq. I muz be day dreaming again. This week lessons is simply boring...i dun think she knows all the things she's teaching. Rmit is like sending a lecturer teaching other subjects to come here...
