私はよくないです。七月にだいがくで勉強します。仕事がありませんから、お金がちょっとあります。クラスや教科書や試験ゃお金が要ります。りょこうヘいきません。大変ですね。

あの今月の天気は厚いです。私は家で今ぴゅ歌尾押します、そして本尾読み増す。時々、テレビ尾読みます。土曜日一人で歩いて日本語の画っこへ行きます。日曜日は協会へ行きます。今休みは楽しいです。日本語の儒教はがくさいが多いです。儒教野中は子供が独りいます。彼は日本語がちょっとわかりません。頑張ってね。私も頑張ります。

かんこくのドラマ"Boys Over Flowers"は毎度曜日午後9.30にChannel Uがあります。1時間30分です。私はF4のYi Jung (Kim Bum)とJi Hoon (Hyun Joong)がとても好きです。でわYi Jungのほう好きです。I just love his smile. Video of him in the show below.

Ji Hoon葉静かと親切な人です。音楽が上手です。Yi Jungは可愛いとハンサムとげんきな人です。陶器ガ上手です。Check out the website: http://www.kbs.co.kr/drama/f4/index.html

じゃね。またあいましょう。

As part of Asia Tour, he is in Singapore Illuma shopping center yesterday. The entrance to the mall was crowded with people. The screaming from fans was deafening...i wonder if they are there to listen to his singing cause you can hardly hear him anymore with all those noise...

Sharing some of my favourite songs from his album. A talented 18 years old with fantastic vocal, who can imagine he almost lost his voice & had to go through voice therapy... admirable!

Oh yeah i passed the Japanese test! Yohoo! Enrolled myself for the next level under my current sensei (Nakai). He is a really good teacher who knows a bit of Chinese, Malay & his spoken English is better compared to the one i had in Temasek Poly (extra-elective). His sudden questioning make me work harder to be prepared for his class. To test our alertness, he make us repeat questions/answers...keke i was caught speechless too many times :P Not just that...i have a place in Unisim for July intake (Bachelor in Business). Finally, I'm picking up textbooks again! Well at this moment i wanted to put studying as my priority.

In order to do so i have difficulty finding a suitable job, i won't blame it on recession because there are still many jobs on ads. I was granted most interviews but once they heard I'm studying, they feared I can't cope...also they can't accept/fit my studying & Japanese lesson schedules. Plus, i only want to stick to Customer Service trade. That's my passion yet shift work is unavoidable...haiz!! Whatever! I'll just have to do part-time somewhere else...

協和日本語のしけんです。けさきょうかしょをべんきょうしました。授業はごご8時から10時までです。がんばってくださいです。このしゃしんは輪韓国のKim Bumです。はんさむとかわいいですね。からは2１歳です、そしてがくせいとmodelとactorです。

Alright enough practice for today. I was warming up my brain before my Japanese test tonight. Can you decipher what i wrote? Anyway must do well to get my certificate and continue to the next level. The road to mastering a foreign language is tough and tedious and...sometimes i'm tempted not to attend class. However, when i set my heart to do something, i will certainly do it to the end UNLESS I crush. At a time like that, I'm like a fighter plane locked on it's target. Haha.

じゃね。食堂で晩御飯を食べます。またあいましょ。

2009-03-03T01:34:00.013+08:00

A night of insomnia...many flashback from the past are overwhelming me instantaneously. The memories could be triggered by the recent unexpected wet weather...a novel i have read...an experience...or a show that has touched me deeply? I don't know. My mood these days are just as gloomy & cloudy like the sky. My tears escaped with the rain unnoticed.

Those images & scenes are like ripples big & small. Major events that are painful & unforgettable, minor events that are meaningful & filled with happiness, & others that are short live yet holds a corner.

Whatever reasons that call it to surfaced have brought new perspective into my life.

My hospitalisation a week ago at TTSH. My blood was drawn for test, i have to fast with out given any meals & i was put on drip the whole time under vigilant observation. I was traumatised with the encounter, i wish all my love ones are healthy. I learned to treasure my family members especially my aging dad. "Time wait for no men" is true. My mum passed on at a young age too, how silly of me to grasp the idea only now.
I felt lost nowadays & wanted to give up whenever i met with obstacles. However, i remembered how i got through even darker period at an adolescence age. Where is my courage & determination now? What I'm feeling this instance could be lack of enthusiasm that's all.
Time & Times i felt inferior. I wanted to see, experience & learn more things. I want to have more knowledge & enrich myself to become a likable person. I believed the source of my under achievement in life is money constraint. It never occur to me that knowledge in this world is abundant, new things are always in the production line...i will never be able to know & learn them all. My thirst for new experiences might be with good intention but was i greedy? I'm actually better off compared to many in the 3rd world countries & many people here. My self-consciousness plays a big picture. If i don't build up some confidence, i will never be good enough for anything or anybody.
Last but not lease. To have less expectations & more anticipation. Uncertainty in life can bring on an unexpected twist. Trust the Lord And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians, 6:9.

She want to feel once again...

the strong grip

the roughness of the skin

the wetness beneath her hand

the smell of sweat & salt

it stimulate her adrenalin

it set her heart pumping

gasping for air

gripping harder

reaching higher

his voice called out to her

strong & powerful

his reassuring smile

set her at ease on her route

the peak her only goal

*Rock Climbing*

She misses the wall so much! At night, she dreamt of it coming to live. Those climbing memories motivate her to remain strong, to be tough, to hold on to her determination...

She miss all the fun shared under the moonlight

She miss all the encouragement

most of all

She miss all the climbers :D

Auspicious day-My unfortunate day? I choose to ignore that, yet seriously i do have to believe in it. The vice versus does not change for me either. Inauspicious day also my bad luck day! Maybe slightly better...haha.

Today is my friend (the bride) wedding day. However even before attending her dinner reception this evening, I'm already on my journey towards a series of unfortunate events.

Can you believe i get blisters from wearing snickers? Even i don't wanna believe it! I trade my slippers for it..why? My slippers stain my foot...who would believe this too? BUT YES! it does leave patches of black shadows on my foot for no apparent reason ("~) On the positive outlook, i should invest in more Adidas snickers (Sponsors?).

I thought this was already bad enough, yet more are awaiting me....

I gave my colleague coins to buy me a packet of chrysanthemum from the vending machine & the drink got STUCK! Alright i will not be fuming if this is the 1st time. BUT that happen damn often! Once my drink came out without the straw when obviously it was there. The dumping effect is so huge my straw flew off when it landed. In the end, although i have my drink i can only see (".!) AND there is this tibits machine that goes haywire...as expected my tibits never came.

In fact, i have a feeling that my preparation for tonight's dinner is going to be a disaster too. I'm trying to keep my cool...but the question is how long?

2008-12-15T14:55:00.007+08:00

YES! I'm catching "Design for Living" on 30 January 2009 @ Esplanade Theatre by Edward Lam Dance Theatre (Hong Kong/Taiwan). The play has a nice synopsis & best of all it is starring Joseph Cheng! Something to look forward to for the New Year *V*.

Synopsis: Survival calls for intelligence while living requires wisdom. A female boss feels threatened by a rumour. To secure her position and power, she begins to play mind games with others in her office, stirring up a hornets’ nest. Who will be the ultimate winner in the ensuing struggle for love, wealth and power? Created by the director of the highly-lauded What is Man? in Huayi 2008, the eminent Edward Lam, this theatre piece humourously portrays the struggle that urban people today go through when faced with the myriad challenges and complexities of survival and living.

A wedding protrait of my sister & her husband. The orignal photo doesn't look this way, i created the effect in as a present for her birthday...Nice? Wanted it to be vintage/old looking...How abt this one? Sketching IS not done by me but the computer :P Haha now working, have no time to sketch anymore compare to before. Well at least my effort counts in making it perfect through the computer.

2008-12-02T10:06:00.004+08:00

My oldest sister got her long awaited rest, thanks to her wedding which is going to be held this Saturday, 06 December 2008 @ Rendezvous Hotel. In order to make this day a perfect one, my sister started her preparation 6 mths ago. Let me see...what actually goes on behind the untold/unrevealed scenes?

The House
1) A Roof--- Settling HDB loan problems, Getting agent to look out for suitable flats, viewing & negotiating prices.
2) Renovation--- Choosing designer & contractor, brainstorm ideas, designs & requirements,
choosing wall colours, sourcing for furniture & appliances...
3) Monitoring--- Random checks on renovation progress & touch-up for areas which are lacking in expectation. Last minute changes if necessary...
4) Decorating--- Mopping and cleaning, getting furniture into respective places (Finally a home!)

The Wedding Dress
1) Find a studio--- Attending wedding exhibitions, finding the best studio & negotiating prices
2) Find the dresses--- Go for fitting & selecting dresses for day, night, outdoor, tea ceremony etc, dresses adjustment.
3) Flower--- Choose the flower bouquet.
4) Where's the shoe?--- Finding & buying shoes that matches the dresses & occasion.
5) Photo me?--- Hairstyling & makeup, studio & outdoor shoots.

The Venue
1) Find the place--- Another round of attending exhibitions, choosing the right location & date for the wedding. Negotiating prices & discussing no. of tables, decorations etc
2) Venue check--- Meeting the event manager, viewing the halls, hotel room...
3) Food tasting--- Food test for the menu on the BIG day.

Basically, these are the major concerns & they take up precious time. Not to mention, there are also visits between both side parents, traditional ritual & processes along the way, sending cards & confirming guests list, seating arrangement planning...
Most importantly, during this joyous season for the couple, that become my partial nightmare! I have to play the role of an adviser, sister (actual & wedding day), coolie (carrying stuffs) & painter (our house).

Eww...wedding is such a hassle!!! I told my sister in a frustrating voice. IF i EVER marry, i will definitely skip most of these. Probably a photo shoot & wedding lunch among close relatives & friends & case close! My sisters immediate responses are that my father will want it to be more elaborate. Hee looks like i have to get wed overseas than give everyone a shock upon returning then :P

14-16 November

(Suntec Convention Level 4)
Yummy! Yummy! The free smell is more than enough to make mouth watering. There are stalls serving all kind of cuisine from different countries & different ethnic groups, all under one roof. There are Taiwan Oyster Mee Suan; Sausage; Spicy Balls, Turkish delight like Kebab, famous tasty burger from Malaysia, Japanese sotong balls etc...you won't want to miss this!!! The food are selling at reasonable prices.

If food is not a strong temptation to lure you over, the fair is held together with exhibition of home electronics. Thus, you can kill two birds with one stone. Wow! I went this afternoon during my lunch break with my colleagues & grab as much food as i can afford with my $9. I managed to get 4 items...haha victory!

Anyway guys, have time go down to enjoy a good variety of gourmet.

2008-11-02T16:16:00.011+08:00

Ninja, Mummies, Witches, Egypt & Greece Prince/Princess, Vampires, Ghosts, Scream, Pirates, Chinese Emperor & many more characters started appearing in the eerie night of 31
October. The gathering view is majestic, almost unbelievable in Singapore. The place they gathered? Right at the front door of Zouk.

The traffic on the road is bad, the queues into the club is equally disastrous as it extended into the car park. We took candid shots of ourselves & others during the long wait.

Angelia & Me

I wouldn't say Zouk is fun. The music played on the dance floor wasn't the kind that i can connect with. I was forcing myself to move along with the beat of the music since there is nothing to do except dance. Of course there is the drinking which provided some relieve away from the floor.

The scary experience encountered is not from the fright of seeing those ghosts or bloody creatures, but the "friendly" attitude of a Western guy we met on the dance floor. He dance too close for comfort...luckily we managed to get away from him. Well i know such thing does happen frequently in club/pub, however i still prefer to be left alone than being pick-up. I'm Anti-Social (Refuses to be sociable/ selective socialisation)!!!

A quotation to live my life

2008-10-20T14:19:00.012+08:00

To all my beloved friends who aspire to be couch potatoes...or rather prefer to spent their time in cozy protection of the house, there are shows truely worth doing that for.

1) Zettai Kareshi (Japan HOT!) Definitely leave you in tears. I prefer ROBOT!

Synopsis: Riiko Izawa has some problems finding the right boyfriend. When she once again gets the mitten, she meets a man, claiming to bring her luckiness, in the bar of Fujiko Wakabayashi. What Riiko does not know at that time is, is that he is talking about a prototype of a robot representing the perfect boyfriend that is produced by the firm Kronos Heaven. When a packet with the robot Night Tenjou, who is programmed to love her and to save her, arrives at her door, she isn't very thrilled, but soon finds some advantages. But Soshi Asamoto, son of her boss, also falls in love with Riiko, which leads to some complications...Will she choose the robot or a human?

2) Miss No Good (Taiwan HOT!)

Cry your heart out with laughter.

Synopsis: Jiang Xiao Hua is a jewelry store owner with no sense of style. When prince charming Jia Si Le comes back from Japan with intentions of dating her, she blackmails Tang Men, a poison-tongue style guru, into helping her become a lady worthy of Si Le.

2008-10-13T22:17:00.009+08:00

A "new game" circling around my new group of colleagues. Oh they are only teenages but what is happening to girls from this era?

Dare to Chase
Dare to Look
Dare to Admit
Dare to Say
Dare to Surprise

Apparently, a dramatically different class. However, i have to say that it did not compromise on their taste. Hee I did check out those people they mentioned...really not bad. There is one who look like Dean Fujioka OMG! I even spoken to him on the phone! *Dots* haha.

(Extreme Left- Dean Fujioka)
Alright working is going to be FUN afterall...

2008-10-10T14:22:00.018+08:00

My elder sis looking forward to her wedding & decided to go for a full body spa & body scrub . As per usual, I'm dragged along on this experimental moment.

My verdict: embarrassing but extremely rewarding. I have to overcome the idea of stripping all the way down! Gosh...I'm separated from my sister & each of us are given individual room. The shy thought did not last long as the massage is really relaxing. It eases all the tension...an escape paradise as the place smells heavenly. A women need to indulge once in a while in this hectic society.

I have craving for coffee for days yet unable to get my hands on them. My dad offered to make coffee for me which i kindly rejected. I only want Mocca/Cappuccino/Latta etc...not "Kopi pang" haha. Yeah today have a cup of Mocca Loca at Gloria Jeans. Tasted bitter-sweet but overall not bad.

It feel so good to be able to swim! Nothing beats going for a swim on a weekday evening. The public pool has fewer people, giving rooms to swim vertically instead of horizontally. Sometimes i do felt myself becoming a 2nd Michael Phelps (My Idol) Right now I'm contemplating whether to learn free style...hmm...

2008-09-20T21:44:00.005+08:00

The make-up of a human is complicated, something that can never be fully comprehend. I guess that explain much about why i flung my Biology in Sec Sch. The physical body is already such a headache not to mention the mind. A rather scary video from Rihanna "Disturbia" kind of explain it. Occasionally we need to think twice about our actions, our decisions and so forth.

As the TV program "You Think You Can Dance" progresses, it set people's mood for dancing. I especially love the video "Forever" sang by Chris Brown. That kind of bring me to my feet.

Finally, I can SWIM!!! After 12 lessons with my instructor, i have master the art of breast-stroke. My ex-colleagues who have been teasing me about it should be glad to know that i have graduated from swim school. Now i'm planning to learn new things, enter new schools etc. Wish me luck!

2008-09-10T18:53:00.008+08:00

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for his grace and mercy. He had not forgotten me although i chose my career over his word 2 years ago. I have chose to ignore his calling. I was blinded by the new experiences, new environment, new opportunities...

There was many "I" and excuses that stop me from going to church. However, a soul without spiritual food will not grow. I became weary after 2 years at work. I felt directionless and helpless. I was wondering if I'm "worshipping" money because that was the only thing that kept me busy all the while. Yet the money gave me no sense of achievement, no motivation and no happiness. God reminded me of my plan to further studies, and he sent me a colleague who invited me back to the church. I felt peace and an unexplainable gladness than i ever felt before. The sermon also touched me tremendously. The pastor mentioned that God's blessing will befall those who follow his way. He do not expect us to walk alone, he will be there to guide us through. Everything is under his control and he allow things to happen because he knew we could handle it...it is part of life lessons. I believe in God's wonder and mighty power. I am sure he has a purpose for me.

2008-08-30T02:23:00.012+08:00

Guys you are the best thing that happen in the company. The life of the department, the people who save the day for our passengers and the one who make the dull place lively. Although work is lousy, all your presence make it easier to handle. I'll remember those days together! Aligatoo & Sayoonara! Take Care Minasan!

*******The Girl Behind the Smile********

"There will be sunshine after the rain" but what happen when the rain never seem to cease? Even when it does, it's only for little while. There's alway a dark cloud hovering above. As the water level rises faster than it is evaporated, life energy is being suck away...struggling for breath...

Was it darkness or light ahead? I can't see, I can't tell, I can't imagine. I dun wanna think about it either. Is life ever fair? Why some people have it the easier way out, while others have to fight hard for the same thing? Why some are deprived of while those who have, do not even treasure or give a damn about it...

I envy my younger sisters who are studying. They are the last (or never) to know the burden of the family/family member, yet their needs are provided for whenever they raise a request. I guess they realise how blessed & protected they are but still kind of take it for granted. I felt injustice for what i have to undertake...those responsibilities at my age. It is like i have to save someone even though i'm drowning myself.

Sometime i feel that my family is very selffish. They never ask whether I have plans for my future? What I want to do in life? Even when i voiced out my opinion they are not supportive. I feel that i can relie on God & myself only. The pathetic thing is i can't even find a single person who is willing to listen. Ironically when they needed me i have no choice but to contribute although i might be in a even more critical position. I don't know how many tears i have shed & how many sleepless night i have been through. I'm just waiting for sunshine after the rain...

2008-07-27T19:46:00.023+08:00

Hawaii is definitely the place for relaxing, shopping and having fun!!! I came here with my sister and Sanying on 20 Jun 08. When i arrived in Hawaii, my first thought is that the place is under develop, it look sparing, everything is slowing down...traffic, people etc. I thought i won't enjoy myself here. However, it takes only 5mins to prove me wrong.

Honolulu International Airport

Aloha! That's the sound of welcome. It came from a friendly stuff of Queen Kapiolani Hotel "Andrew" who greeted us when we check-in for our room. He got our luggages to our door, introduced the hotel facilities and amenities, and not to forget the surf. The front desk stuff is also very kind to show us the bus route to the premium outlet. I have a hell of a time shopping for brands like Guess, Levis, Addidas, Puma, Coach, Nine West...they are alot cheaper there.

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

Our stay is short. A total of 2 Days in Oahu only. We spent a day coming into Hawaii and we needed 2 days to get back to Singapore. I can't forget the beautiful and lively Wakiki beach. People surfing, sun tanning, children playing with sand, the water is clear, the sound of the waves... I felt i have returned back to nature. Everything felt so natural.

Wakiki Beach

Wakiki Water & Waves

Eventually good things come to an end. I promised in my heart to come back again for a longer stay, next time with my surfboard ready.

2008-05-18T14:10:00.013+08:00

It's amazing how our sec sch mates can meet out after almost 5 years. Everyone looks pretty much the same to me in appearance, but i guess much have changed in everyone's life somehow. Some will be graduating from university soon, some will be going in, and some are coming out of NS etc. A simple gathering it was with volleyball game & frisbee. I managed to steal sometime alone to walk at the beach & chat up some people haha.

Accuracy of Death

I'm not a fan of Takeshi Kanashiro. However in this movie, i have to agree he is very handsome (those short hair scenes only). A fantastic plot which links the different stories together. If you have money to spare can watch this.

2008-03-25T22:29:00.016+08:00

"I NEED A BREAK!" The benefit of working in an airline- you don't spend much money traveling on an airplane. In order to take this trip, i have been begging my colleagues to change off day & my boss to approve my leaves. I used to think earning alot of money is important...i do OT, volunteer to work additional day or come back during IRR at night. Now money is not my priority anymore. My motivation: Remain happy, healthy & carefree.

Don't you want to hug this fish? It's so adorable. I can't stop smiling when it stare back at me with that grinning face. How i wish i could rear this fish but they need special care. I found him in the COEX Aquarium...An exhibition like our Singapore Under Water World.

PirahaNemo

The koreans love spicy food. Their serving is quite huge but surprisingly not filling. I can't stop eating there! It is notable that most ingredients used are light. They don't usually drink coffee or carbonated drink. No wonder they have good complexion and skin. I'm trying to learn from them.

Beef & Mushroom DongfenDumpling Noodle

Pork

My colleagues and i try to make this 4 day korea walk as relaxing as possible. We did not rush to wake up or pack our schedules to the peak. OWN TIME OWN TARGET! The latest record we set was waking up at 1pm for breakfast & chatting till 3am before sleep. We cover a bit of sightseeing, many shopping opportunities & some local eatery hunt. I did recharge my battery there-physically & mentally.

I went for my 1st volunteering work at Institute of Mental Health (IMH) today. An unforgettable experience...i felt i make a right choice to come. In short, the 3hr spent with them i gained more than i gave. People get the wrong impression of IMH, and the patients staying there. They are really warm-hearted people, not as crazy as you think.

The volunteers come together every 2 weeks on Sat to visit the wards, we play games, do some dancing and drawing with them. You don't need experience to do this. The next session is on 15 Mar 08. My friends out there...if you feel that you want to contribute to make someone smile because of your presence, don't hesitate & just drop by 2.30pm at IMH main lobby.

P.S I LOVE YOU

I watched this on leap year 29 Feb 08. I actually planned to watch "The Leap Year" instead, however it's a full house that day. Anyway, "P.S I Love You" is a touching and moving movie. After that show, i have the urge to go to Ireland featured in the show...beautiful grassland, interesting pubs, happy-go-lucky people etc. I do recommend this movie, i give it 5 stars!!!

Singapore Air Show 2008

I went to see the plane stunts performed by the black knights on 24Feb (Sun). It's amazing how they coordinate & get the show done...a real eye opener. Here's some pictures taken:

N861XL...hmm tat's all i know haha.

Tat's a beautiful plane N238JG.

Airbus A380...Huge indeed.

What's the fuss abt? Photo-taking with the pilot. Women are so practical.

(extreme right...not very clear)

My favourite! Guess what's this? An airplane engine...a pretty thing yeah.

The queues for the buses out to bus interchange like Pasir Ris or Expo was extremely long. It's a sight to see, we look like refugees. I took 15mins to arrive at the place, but i took 2hrs to go back. Final words, nice exhibition...one time is enough.

2008-02-26T21:18:00.010+08:00

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived

I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside

Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing

And why can't I let it go

[Chorus]There's gotta be more to life...

Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me

Cause the more that I'm...

Tripping out thinking there must be more to life

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more

Than wanting more

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly

Here in this moment I'm half way out the door

Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

[repeat chorus]

i'm wanting more

I'm always waiting on something other than this

Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....

"There's Gotta Be More to Life"

I felt something slipping away in my life...that burning passion, rashness & innocent that i used to have. People keep telling me that this is part of grow up...one will become sensible, realised that they have duties & responsibilities etc. It's equivalent to being awaken that the world isn't just so simple.

It's true but i hate this change that is happening to me. Almost working for 2 years in the work society, i felt exhausted physically, mentally & financially. It came to a state that I can't bring myself to smile when i look at myself in the mirror.

My job has evolved into a routine than interest. Customers' complaints and whining become a daily irritant and depressant. The company policy that is uncaring about staff welfare just worsen the work environment tremendously.
My financial worries including house groceries, utilities' bills, house loan, my sister school allowance, & not forgetting my own expenses. Somehow, i can't seem to save enough to chase after my own dream/desire. It's frustrating!

Knowing my responsibilities in the house, i can't call it QUIT. My dad kept telling me he needs me working. I felt angrier knowing that i'm being controlled by circumstances, not able to will it as i like. I'm leading an uneventful moment of my life, it upset me even more to think about it.

....However, i tell myself there's definitely something i can do to change these. I do not want to indulge in self pity nor do i want others to sympathise with me. One sentence " i'm not a pitiful child". I will not reveal what i did here but i felt better after doing it. If everything turn out right, i might leak out the details [cross my fingers]. My spirit is already lifting this every moment :)

Time to update photos from events that happened ages ago, almost like that. I'm afraid they are going mouldy soon if i left them untouch. They are classified in descending order, most recent to those i don't even remembered taken when...haha.

Must thank Sanying who took those photos for me while i try to catch his attention...haha.

Team Building @ Changi Chalet

A sunday team building that dampen the mood but the people drives me nuts! I enjoyed those games (mosse code/water bomb etc)

这是我的一次用国语blog，写的好辛苦喔! 用笔写还快一些...找字也不容易, 又不知道是否正确。我看我快要放弃了...救命呀! 不过我写得可乐的! 还以为我的华语会退步，不过看起来还进步了。上班讲电话也有人误以为我是中国人，说中文很标准. I take that as a compliment. 这一次用中文写是为了挑战自己，而且中文可以根明确的表达一些话English cannot.

圣诞快乐

接近年尾，感触非常多。回顾之前的一切，有得有失，有高兴有悲惨，有珍惜有不适...这些都让我成长了许多。

我骄傲的就是认识了一般好同事，象家人一样一直帮助和照顾我。可惜好时光不长久，大家都有自已想追求的梦想和目标...看着一个接一个的离开，好伤心好慌张。自已也不想因此被留下，也想一起努力为未来为理想打算。一句话：我会永远记住大家的。The Seoul Garden gathering at Marina Square is great...i guess this probably be the last dinner where all of us can seat together and chat away. I cherish every moment there. All the Best to those who are leaving.
我高兴的是我已经达成梦想，带家人出国也见识了不同的世界。在目前出道的第一家公式也做了一年半，算是有了accomplishment. 再用掉公式给的Hawaii/Guam飞机膘就差不多了。
伤心的事，我姐快要结婚了...应该快乐才是可是我很舍不得。我姐男朋友一定要对她好，不然我一定会难过到要死。我一向对男生没信心，接收我姐男朋友不容易。Don't mistaken i have been hurt by guys, though i sound like i did...haha. It's just that early childhood my parent used to fight, i hate to see such thing happen again. Even arguments make me want to cry whether between my siblings & i or someone close to me. Thus i treasure the peace my family have now. 很难得也很真实。
那些坐失的事我也不想想太多，人要往前看。坐失的人，为一可以做的就只有祝福。希望大家都过的开心，找到自己要的生活和对象。

Lastly, Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!!! 大家一定要健健康,快快乐乐，对未来从瞒希望！

BAck to REality

Putting an end to my 11 days excursion to Tokyo/Osaka/Taiwan, these may mark the end of my trip overseas for years to come. I realise that it's time for me to settle down & accomplish other things such as:
A) University- Earn enough money to get myself thru 3 yrs in University now if i want to enroll in next year intake. It means more OT at work, less expensive food, little or no shopping & no travelling.
B) Volunteer- It's time to return something back to the society, to live a more meaningful life & create a better place for living.

In my 20s, i guess i have visited many places & fulfilled my dream for exploration & travelling with my family. My last words of gratitude:
My daddy- He is such a sweetheart, always showing his support for my adventure by rendering his help in carrying my luggages to the bus-stop or taxis stand...where's the extra cash??? Hee it's even heart-warming to know that he did consider purchasing a car to drive me to the airport... thoughts count pls don't buy, i can't cover the installment (".!) haha.
My Sisters- Fetch me back home from the airport. Helping me with stuff i imported from overseas. The truth: they can't wait to get their present. Haha whichever way it is, they are definitely a darling & a great support to me.

Now back to my writing on the trip. Q&A on the destinations:
1) Where to go in Tokyo?
Ans: Fashion- Shibuya (Alot of pretty girls/guys) /Harajuku (They dare to be different in dressing) /Ueno 2) Electrical- Akihabara 3) Nightlife- Shinjuku/Roppongi (How i wish to try their machinary baseball!!!)

2) Where to go for inexpensive purchase in Taiwan?
Ans: Recommended 1) Shilin Night Market 2) Raohe St. Tourist Night Market (Clothings) 3) Taipei City Metro Mall & Other includes Ximending (Weekend may see Artiste promoting their album/ hosting show etc)/Danshui (100/200 yuan tall cone ice-cream)...

The Last Breakthrough

Channel 8 every weekend @ 7pm

The setting of this series was phenomenal, which is a big change from the Hong Kong skyscraper city we usually see in serials, with location filming in exotic places such as Africa (Kenya), which provides breathtaking views of the African plains and mountains. Other areas filmed were Guangxi (in China), that provides views of the forests and forested mountains in the area, and the tribes that live there. This series provides a view in which a place where there is full of poverty could be beautiful. Placing an international medical humanitarian organisation which is called Life Force in these poorer areas was an ingenious idea to demonstrate that such organisations exist today, to provide the poor with basic medical needs and assistance. This series teaches the audience that we should be happy in the place we're living in, and that we should treasure and live life to its fullest (and treasure the people around us). We should help the poor as much as we can, so that everyone in this world could live happier and healthy lives. But this takes a lot of hard work to accomplish, and that is why more people should volunteer in these organisations and have more of them, such as Life Force, to make the world a better place. This series is such an encouragement for people to go off to poverty-stricken areas, and try to help the people in need as much as we can.

An encouraging and touching show, romance apart, i believe the show have moved me to want to make life more meaningful & beautiful. I realise how fortunate i am compared to many in 3rd world or war countries. If you feel the same way don't hestitate to start from small, check out this website where you can volunteer yourself in area of your interests:

Talks & More Thoughts

Everyone is making talks, expressing their personal views, emotions etc...
It makes me wonder if people can stand firm on their principles, views, and emotions under such an environment without being influence. For example: Believing in your own impression of someone when you heard negative remarks on him/her, and holding on to your principle when you are asked to do the opposite by a close friend. Can you do that? I have my doubt that such person still exist because the world is changing, we are expected to change to keep up with the trend. For the sake of friendship & acceptance we compromise our values, our thinking, our lifestyle, our principles...

Suddenly felt i have lost myself in this crazy world...

Talks & Actions

One of my favorite talks is going to be a dream comes true. Yoo-hoo! I am taking off on an adventure, on the object of my facination soon. Have you guess what I'm referring to? I'll be up on another exploration on the aero plane. This 14 Sept, a 10 days trip covering places like Narita, Nagoya, Osaka and Taiwan. I'll be bringing exclusive news when the trip is completed. 33...32...31...I'm starting to count down to the day.

Talks On 21

Isn't that ageing? Hmm 21 are supposed to be exciting and special. My friends hold parties & chalets to celebrate this rare occasion. As for me, 21 means a year older, a step into adulthood, just a step short into the grave... Oh mine. I am content with how my life is run, 21 does not mean I hold the key to somewhere better... I had them already. I’m grateful that my dad & brother allow me free control of my own destiny when I'm off Secondary 4. This includes my school, my course, my friends, my career, my style, my future...
Therefore, my 21 on 26 Aug will be celebrated simply as usual without fail with my beloved family & close friends. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

Last Minute Activation

My Saturday beauty sleep is awaken by the deafening ring tone of my hand phone...err should have switch it off earlier. A blessing in disguise, i became a few buck richer overnight. I think my boss is very genius to get my colleagues to do those activation calls, because if one see their boss or office numbers... 1st thought that strikes "Don't Pick it Up!!!" It's a forewarning that this call is nothing but trouble. However when it comes to your fellow colleagues...you can say otherwise.

Aiyo...Stuck in the mud, i can't reject the "invitation." Asking for details of what kind of emergency, what I'm suppose to do & what time i have to be there, i get changed immediately. Like a gush of wind, i ran out of my house...not forgetting to inform my dad as i run that I'm going back to work. His echo: "What? At this time?" I guess he could not believe his ear. I flap down a cab @ 10.45pm, 15mins away from the meeting time.

The taxis driver drove me quickly to my destination, i was only 4 mins late. Given a brief...the rest is predictable, i began my long night. Time pass easily with inter-conversation & jokes between colleagues, we are treated to Mac Donald take-away by our company. We are off duty @ 6.00am (Sun), one of my colleague drove, & i get a free ride home.

Overall, this is a refreshing experience. I feel a different kind of environment in the night compared to the day. I like this serenity, walking off the office building inviting the 1st ray of a new day.

A long Awaited Holiday

Time flies...2 weeks have passed since my 8days trip to Shanghai & Tokyo. I want share my standby experiences with all my good friends and colleagues, who might want to go there themselves someday.

DAY 1 (26 May)

3am @ Changi Airport, no problem getting on economy class from SIN-NRT as advised by the Mr.Nice security guard. At the ticket counter, served by a Mr.Handsome who get all my family member's luggage check to Shanghai via Narita. The only mishap, he forgot to return my trip summary & eventually ran to the boarding gate to pass it back to me.

2:30pm @ Narita Airport, await transit NRT-PVG. Standby on business class but the flight is a full load, confirmation will only be revealed @ 6:00pm (15mins before flight departure). I was on tender hook, if i do not get on i'll be stuck in Japan. Finally, Mr.Smile at the gate called me with all the boarding passes, however we have to seat separately. I sat by the window with an American lady, who threw her napkin after a small bite of dinner. Well i enjoyed my beef meal with their pretty presentation, a little uncomfortable resting due to the dress code (formal wear/ high-heel shoes). Reached Shanghai @ 9:00pm.

DAY 2 (27 May)

In my opinion, Shanghai is similar to Hong Kong/Macau. They have Victorian-style buildings like those in the West, & beautiful skyscraper that lights up in the night. Watching from The Bund, the view is spectacular. We try out their buns costing 1 yuan each (SGD 20cent), wonton & yuntun at 10yuan per bowl. Big in portion but not as tasty compared to SIN. Now i agree & appreciate SIN as a food paradise. We familiarize ourselves with the surrounding area, visited the People's Hero Memorial Column & Suzhou Creek. I also get a new perm @ 200 yuan.

DAY 3 (28 May)

We walk the shopping district of Nanjing Rd East, they are selling souvenirs for Beijing 2008 Olympic already. Explored the garden of People's Square (Grand theater/ Shanghai Museum). We took many great pictures.

DAY 4 (29 May)

Book a ticket to Hangzhou from Shanghai Railway Station. The journey took 2hrs. We arrived @ 2.30pm, immediately hoping into a van for our local tour of West Lake Cruise, Tea Plantation & Nuptial Temple. We spent the night in Redstar Culture Hotel, which provide excellent customer services. I love Hangzhou night market that starts from 9pm. Many make-shift stalls line the road selling items of all kind (shoes/accessories/clothes/toys/electronic). To make your money worth -BARGAIN.

DAY5 (30 May)

Check-out of hotel at 11am, shop around the area nearby with some purchase of cds/toiletries/food. Took the afternoon train back to Shanghai, alighting at 6pm. Stayed in the dormitory at Shanghai Mingtown Hiker Youth Hostel. It is value for money with room rate est. SGD10/night with shared bathroom. A place famous with the western travellers, looming around the corridor & lobby. We took the metro to Xintiandi which look like our Paragon. A high-class shopping district with many departmental stores.

DAY6 (31 May)

Woke up @ 5am, mad rush to clean-up & check-out. Left my hand phone in the room as a result of the confusion. I called the hostel from Pudong Airport reporting my lost. The staff was kind to sent my hand phone to Singapore embassy in Shanghai. I retrieved it from MFA 2 weeks later. Departed without any problem @ 10am from PVG-NRT. A free shuttle van is available to Mercure Hotel Narita. Night brisk walk in Narita.

DAY 7 (1 Jun)

Travelled 1hr out to Tokyo (Ueno) taking JR train. 5mins walk away from the train station is the well-known flea market. The zoo and historical museum is around the corner too. We extend our scope to Shibuya, a teenage oriented shopping district. The girls are kawaii & gorgeous, can make one envy. I bought quite a number of chains from there. Before the sun goes down, we found ourselves in Shinjuku. We didn't spent much time there as i'm beginning to feel unwell. Down with a fever by the time we return back to Narita.

DAY 8 (2 Jun)

Went to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, the largest temple in Japan (i think so). Along the way there, drop-by small stores which sell souvenirs (key chains/charms/bags/kimono etc). Free shuttle bus to airport from hotel @ 3pm. Continued my shopping spree in Terminal 1 South Wing for 2 hrs before boarding plane back NRT-SIN.

!@ Insight into the Inside@!

Its going to be a year with NWA but it felt like yesterday that i first joined the company. The youngest in the department, i was concerned about not doing well, not being taken seriously, not able to get along with people & so forth at the beginning. When all this worries proved to be redundant, I began to wonder what will become of me in the office...
1) Department Baby- Can someone find a Sep-Dec baby please! After the 4th batch of sales agent (12 of them) is out, I am still holding the title*wept* However, I have to add I am more mature mentally than some of my fellow colleagues, you know who you are…haha :P

2) Growing Up- I am growing along with my job. I have many opportunities to learn new skills and expand my knowledge in the field of airline industry. Taking sales call, doing group bookings, queues, and ticketing at this moment. OMG sales colleagues…I really understand what the ticketing dept are going through after servicing your calls. One word…you will have a taste of it soon after my term there is over…haha :P

3) Traveling- After joining NWA, I indulge myself in the benefit of traveling. I had since been going places to get new insights, to shop & really enjoy the companionship of friends & family who is with me. My greatest wish is going to be fulfilled: to bring my whole family aboard on the plane. My upcoming trip…A Secret…Shhhh…

Politics are common sight in every company. Conflicts & controversy are something beyond our control…that depends on who suddenly has that itching mouth. Anyway, I have seemed many faces (Happy/Crying/Scheming/Pervert?) Whatever it is, I hold dearly to my motto “PEACE” …Dun Make Me Cry…you’ll be sorry if i do cause I dun cry beautifully…haha :P Everything should be kept SIMPLE.

123*****456*****789

Aaah the 3rd junior class is graduating soon in another 2 weeks time. At this moment they are tagging our phone line to learn the trade of the business : what kind of questions to expect, how to answer, revising what they have learned in the classroom. I have taken on two newbies, have this feeling they gonna do great. They are intelligent and keen, i can retire liao...haha :P In fact, i wish to go back studying yet the disturbing thoughts that i might not cope in university gets the better of me. I need to be certain that i will not regret the course i have chosen, i can manage the stress & excel in the subjects, while foreseeing a future career in that field. Hai...another problem is the school fees...*thinking*

ABC*Comfort Zone*XYZ

My long-term friends make up my comfort zone. I love to travel at my leisure, doing things & having fun my way, something my family is not restricting me of while giving their trust. I love this freedom my family & friends had given me. Recently, i'm really frustrated at the turn of event in my life...intruding into my comfort zone.

1) Boy Girl Relationship- What the hell is that? I have to admit maybe that teeny-weeny brain of mine is not cut out for such serious topic. I'm just a 20 yr old girl who had yet to see and feel many things in the world. Her heart is not a machine that she can have faith in...it's such a misfortune that it is malfunctioning at such young age. Thus, it always frustrate me when such opportunities knock on the door. I have no idea what i should do. Everybody is a friend, and no one is that "special" somebody in her dictionary. My usual style is giving these opportunities away almost immediately...which some of friends disagree on stating that i did not even give him a chance. However, i have to make the decision myself, my friends can only listen & give their 5 cents advice as an onlooker. I'm beginning to wonder if i should give it a shot? But ultimately i'm not prepared to give out that "single" advantages i'm enjoying now, entrusting myself to a second person...summaries in ONE word- FEAR/SELFISH. The fear of getting hurt by a 2nd party, or selfishly wants to receive and not give.

2) Friendship- Real friendship is hard to establish. I do question if friendship proved anything of sincerity and loyalties. Even good friends get jealous of one another, i do get overwhelmed by such feeling too. E.g. She's always get the attention, her life is so much better compared to mine, she is so smart etc. However, i do realise that each family have their own woes...who knows they might be envious of me in another way Haha. In the working environment, there are many scenarios of friends turning into sour sop and hostile backstabber...which nag me to open my eyes, and see for myself clearly who is really a friend.

In closing, i treasure all the good friends i have now! I pray that this friendship is true and will last till eternity.

^^CLEO Bachelor Party^^

The bachelor party was held last Friday, 16March @ St.James Power House. My friends managed to get free entry into the event...so w/o guessing i went after work to checkout those hot guys! Oh the stage is so small, thus everybody were sandwiched together trying to get a peek at the contestants. They have some games that of coz allow the participants to touch those guys...green with envy? Nope! coz Yutaki not in there :) My support goes this way:

1) Great Body-Daryl Pan

2) Great Sport-Ram Bala

3) Cutest- Yutaki Ong

There is this saying "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder", i dun insist everyone to agree with mi. Anyway, the winner is Christopher Pua (No Comment).

^^Workout/Fitness^^

Spent half of my Sunday afternoon doing workout! Whoa played tennis for an hour under the scotching sun, sweat out all the energy in me. Followed by 1,1/2hr at the gym with the machines, felt so renewed after the whole training. More activities coming out when i start my Amore lessons for a month...can't wait to attend the boxercise, aerobics, pilate. Haha what i needed now is an invitation to the beach for a tan.

2007-03-13T20:55:00.000+08:00

Returned back from Korea (Seoul) had been 5 days. I resumed my work since this Monday...the inclination to go to sleep is still overpowering! Ha ha it is true during winter, one gets tired and become reckless easily. Not to mention it was snowing when i stepped down from the Airport Limousine Bus. As early as 8-9pm, i could be dozing off in bed. Weiling, her mum and me stayed in "Stay 7 Service Apartment." It was a big apartment with kitchen facility provided.

The distinct features of Seoul is their palaces and Korean folk houses. The palace guards do not stand motionlessly at a spot. They are still free to make minor movements. I was lucky to catch the changing of guards ceremony @ Gyeongbokgung Palace on Day 3 of my trip.

Have you watched the Korean drama "Da Chang Jing"? that is filmed in Changdeokgung Palace. One can only enter there under a guided tour during selected timing. It cost KRW 3,000 equivalent to S$5 (Cheap ya).

There are three types of Korean Folk Houses: Poor/Middle Class/Rich. Basically, we get to see their rooms, kitchens, traditional wedding displays etc.

The Koreans have their own dress sense, which i would categories as:
- Work=Elegant
- Casual=Stylish
However, their clothing are expensive! The cheapest i can find was KRW 10,000 after discount equivalent S$17. If not you can expect to spend over S$20 on a piece of t-shirt.

My only misgiving in Seoul is not able to enter into Lotte World Theme Park. They are closed during winter. We wondered around in the shopping complex and took photo with this magnificent fountain which i love very much. I can almost imagine myself in Rome...my dream destination. That's all I'm going to tell about Korea...go see it for yourself!!!

###A Series of Unfortunate Events###

It started during this last 2 weeks of Feb. My good friend/colleague Sanying's grandpa is admitted to hospital recently with a heartattack, his bladder is also not functioning well too. For those who see this entry of mine please pray for her grandpa health & speedy recovery...thanks so much!!! At work, i also received disheartening news & call from our ex-colleague and a passenger who announced that their dad just passed away. It makes me wonder why life is so vulnerable? Who controls fate? What is classified under fate?...my mind is in a whirl now...

###Red Alert###

When frustration overwhelms my senses, hee i start doing crazy things. Revealed to some of my colleagues, they knew i can begin wiping my collections of CDs, washing the toilet n clothes at past midnight...so what did i do this time round? I dyed my whole hair irish red! complimented by a new hairstyle. Whatever it is...i wanted to start out all over again with a new appearance, a new prospective to life.

###Bon Voyage###

A warm goodbye to Oliver who is leaving for China today. He's such a poor thing yet also the envy of everyone. Having been posted to Shenzhen since last year for work purpose, he had the opportunity to explore other parts of China. However, he only earn chinese yuan, which is not alot compared to before in Sin. Moreover, he can only come back on special occasion like CNY. He's chinese still suck...Haha a tourist none-the-less no matter how long he stay there, can't blend with the language barrier. I'm so sorry not able to meet-up with you on such a short notice. All the Best!!!

@@@@@Engine@@@@@

Jiro Kanzaki (Takuya Kimura) is an F3000 test driver blessed with acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. A daredevil, he feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers dare not attempt. But unexpected problems forces this racer to leave his team and return to Japan to where his parents lived. His stubborn father operates a foster home, & Jiro ways of thinking and lives gradually change from there...
An extremely good drama, where viewers are exposed to family problems, dreams and finally love. I enjoy all dramas starring Takuya such as Long Vacation, Beautiful Life, Goodluck, Pride...it's always so worth watching, something to learn from each story. Engine definitely not disappointing...a good catch!!!

***HaPPi CNY***

Feb period had been buzy, stressful yet entertaining as well. There were many changes going on in our company. New/change of policies, new workload, new patch of Res agent joining in March...hmm unable to predict how things will work out in the end. I wonder how the new class will cope under the skillful training by Vincent n Shan??? Working as a customer service agent in an airline does requires alot of passion. There are diff systems, one needs to get their geography correct, update constantly with changing promos and airlines info, prepare for the unexpected (schedule change/flights cancelation/disasters etc), co-ordinate with fellow ticketing colleagues, building rapport with customers, solving problems...the front and revenue line. It is no easy job to take each calls as your first, keeping your mood/temper in-check, putting on a smile n cheerful tone on the phone when u are "blue" too. I had to say i love the branch of colleagues i have in NWA (esp Sanying/ Allan/ Yujie/ Matthew/ John/ Brandan/ Weiling/ Hazel/ YokePin/ Simon/ Sarah), you are the reason why i'm still putting up with all the crazy things that is going on in the company.

***Stayover @ Chalet***

Went to WeiLing's chalet (PA Housing Flat) yesterday at Elias Rd. Lost my way, i dropped a stop earlier, n it takes John a bit of time to find me. Haha i was telling him i'm standing infront of the Pasir Ris Park sign n he explained he is too, but i didn't see him! Turned out we were at diff entrance lah...so funny. I stayed over, and John is so sweet to accompany an uninteresting gal like me through the nite. Haha I didn't give him a chance to sleep at all, bugging him to play board games, talk, walk to the park, eat...frm 1am to 7am. I learned alot abt myself frm him, he gave quite an accurate and easy narration of expressions n feelings i concealed so well, got a shock...he almost see thru me (Scary :P) Watever it is father John, thanks a million for listening to me n giving me advise n encouragement :)

Hey guys I'm back from Japan, Tokyo! The highest temperature there is at 8 degrees, lowest at abt 2 degrees. It's really chilly when the wind blows. In winter, they have shorter daylight-saving, hence the sky is dark at abt 5pm. Their subways are also complicated with many different lines available. Their exists are confusing with as many as 60 in a station. However, one will get comfortable when he/she get the hands of how everything works and links.

Politeness and helpfulness is implicited in their genes. It comes naturally which makes Japan a welcoming country. I had no problem asking for directions from the street people, police etc, and the hoteliers are friendly and approachable. Although my hotel is located in a redlight district area, i have to say i enjoyed the nightlife and my stays are wonderful.

I saw their cultured "Ah Bang" and they are much better looking, groomed and styled then those we had in Singapore. In short, their presence ain't annoying. The gals are pretty almost like a doll, they really knew how to dress and makeup. There are many convenient stores, restaurants and fastfood outlets in the area of Shinjuku. The food are not as expensive as i expected. Their japanese food can be purchased at as little as 450 yen, their macdonalds set meal at abt 580 yen. I love their breads and chocolates which range between 105-200 yen.

Tokyo is a big city with highclass shopping, buildings and parks. I love the serenity and boardness of their park. It's amazing and gorgeous. I definitely do not mind spending hours at the park reading, jogging or picnic (of coz not in winter!) Mostly businessman, their proficiency in English is superb. Haha i knew becoz my dad randomly asked one of them for guide to the tokyo station, and he picked a really handsome guy to ask :P
In conclusion, guys do not be afraid to go to Japan. It's not as expensive as you think besides the transportation. Most of them know simple english and are generally helpful. Do not miss out Japan for anything in the world...it's a beautiful and civilised country.

Frustrating!!! Arrg...never felt this mad for such a long time...
I have to harden myself to be a bad gal by leaving all my family members in SIN while i venture out myself. The main problem now is that i wun be permitted to travel alone. Defiant isn't in my nature but if need be...juz do it! That's what i will do. I always wanted to bring my family for travel but it will never never ever work out! Having Informed them 1 mth in advance abt the upcoming trip, my sis then recently chk her passport to find that it had a validity less than 6 mths. She refused to renew it becoz she wanted to add on a christian name that she "for heaven sake" had yet to decide. My dad wanted to take aeroplane, value for money but eliminated countries like Vietnam, Indonesia & Bangkok...so tell me how can it be cheap? Haiz i have nothing to say abt them as to why they are always STUCK in SIN. I juz wanna get out!!! I dun want them to restrict me too becoz they are...
I wander if i'll be scare alone in a foreign country? Well...maybe not becoz all my trips had been with my friends. I guess i will feel lonely without a company but tat feeling will definitely vanish when i do my shopping. I'm a crazy shopper! I wanted to try running out on my own, itz a form of independent...spending my own money, living alone, taking care of myself, at the same time learning more as i grow. Well my last resort if need be...

2006-12-31T08:50:00.000+08:00

My 1st entry for Dec...& it's ending soon heading for 2007!!!
Yesterday had a joyous time @ Baba Black Chic in Little India. This is a company small annual gathering event & it was fun. I had my 2 drinks (Hoegaarden/Vodka Cranberry)...tat beer tasted ok. Then we played with poker cards & dices. Our hidden "talent" such as Stanley did a self-performance of card magic, & Keng Siang did a prediction on my love life. Shld i believe what he said? Hmm tat requires alot of consideration...haha but it was not a very bad outcome tho.

Then came our entertainment: auctioning off our managers as slaves for the day! Hee we redeemed our mgt frm such cruel treatment with a bid of $45. There's also a fastest beer drinker competition, & a human jackpot machine game where almost everyone tried their luck for the accumulative amt of money. Our winner walk away with $125!!! Too bad i'm not the one.

We stayed till around 11pm...my colleague Wei Ling drove me home. Hee we be heading for Johor this Mon for some generous shopping together.
Oops! Got to run, meeting Sanying for a swim @ 11am. Wish everybody a Happy New Year!!!

Triumph in the Skies

It is basically about airplanes and airports. The show begins with Belle (Flora Chan) taping up a notice to search for a 'Triangel' doll".

She believe the doll will lead her to her prince. Samuel Tong (Francis Ng) and Vincent Ling (Joe Ma) were pilots, co captains who were in Rome. Sam was a goody-two-shoes while Vincent was a playboy and always needed Sam to help him get rid of his many girlfriends, but they were both best friends. Sam found the "Triangel" doll coincidentally in an antique shop. Will they be together?

Haa...I love shows about airplanes such as this one, Good Luck, Wonderful Life etc. I guess that's why i join the airline industry. In fact, i want to try all kind of job positions available. I ever imagined myself becoming an air stewardess, themepark mascot, theater play actress...I think working hard and never giving up, i might realise one of my dream someday :)

Heard this saying "there's no ugly women in the world but lazy women?" Got the topic? Yes, beauty/looks are what it is all about. It's purely my opinions, feeling...
1. Ever wonder why it meant so much to women/men?
2. Is it really a privilege to be looking good?

Well...Impression counts doesn't it? It all show during the 1st meeting, the 1st encounter n so forth. When you doll up yourself, don't you feel more confident? Doesn't it attract more attentions to you when you are walking down the street then you ever needed? Oh who knows you might be hit-on by a handsome guy juz becoz you take effort to look good. You might easily make more friends in the process as well. Widen your social circle, not to forget when you are being interviewed for job, that come as an added bonus. There are in fact many more positive reasons to change oneself for the "better."
For the better that's what i thought...at the beginning. I did felt more confident when i dressed up, many have confided to me that i look entirely different, almost unrecognizable. I met many friends more than i ever had in Primary n Secondary...more guys since i was so shy when i was younger that i hardly talk to the opposite sex at all. Some i knew for years but only chat up lately, others through other forms of social vehicle. I landed myself a job soon after grad working under a male boss. I think it got much to do with my looks coz he did compliment me during my 1st interview.

However, the truth is i felt lonelier than ever. Altho i have man friends but how many saw me for who i really was inside. Example: My boss once told me that i might need to turn up for exhibitions n client's meeting with him. Think he recognize my strength at work, that's why he is using me? Nope, a comment he made "you need to parade at the booth n get clients" make me realized that. I felt i was treated like a "social escort" suddenly...of coz other reasons made me left the company eventually. Looking good also bought about unwanted attentions. I'm so scared of taking trains especially during peak hours unless i'm with my friends. There are unlucky days that the one standing next to me is a molester. Any way i have avoided boarding Northeast line train frm the area up by the right escalator in AMK Mrt due unpleasant incidences. *Shrub* Dun wanna recall...
It looks like i never had a fabulous ending when i'm around guys. That's affect me badly...i never fully open out myself to any guys...never wanna be close to any. I shoo every opportunities that allows a guy to know me too well.

The web is full of information, but equally overloaded as well. Hee thats why i love to subscribe to related newsletters/magazines. It saves me time to search & i get timely updates. Here i want to intro to health n exercise fanatic like me to this web:

Goong Princess Hours

Chae-gyeong, an ordinary art high school student was told an unexpected news that, based on her grandfather's will, she must marry the unemotional Crown Prince Lee Shin who attends the same high school. She resisted the proposal, but reluctantly marries him to help her debt-ridden family. As she struggles to adapt herself to the proper manners and royal duties of palace life, Lee Shin's sentimental cousin and second-in-line to the throne Yul steps into her life. She feels like she can rely on Yul to help her. The show depicts numerous delightful episodes among the cute and lively Chae-gyeong, the cold heartthrob Lee Shin, the handsome, down-to-earth Yul, the perfect ballerina Hyo-rin who just can't get over Lee Shin, and all the other members of the royal family. Through thick and thin, Shin had began to like her. But will he be too late to prevent Yul from taking her away? Will the Crowned Princess, Chae-gyeong have a happy ending with the Prince?

My feeling......
@ Overcome by a sudden grief, I can't stop my tears
=Upset? Felt sympathetic for that lost soul in me?...i don't know...i have no idea.

@Feel tat my life has no meaning anymore?
= I'm no longer tat "carefree" person anymore...i can't ignore other people opinions & go for wat i like, wat i want to do as i grow & hv more responsibilities. I hv lost my sense of directions...myself...It's felt like:
In a long street, i don't know where i am heading
In a big crowd, i am but all alone
Amongst midst of all the laughter, i can't hear any of them...
She's screaming out loud
She's running...

@ Can a simple-minded gal survive in this complicated world?
= She hate to work for the sake of money...work for wat others want me to be not for myself...is there a paradise i can run to...a person i can really lean on...

@ Dreams come true?
= Then why is tat called a "dream?" It juz seem so far away from me...from reality...

****Boxercise****
My 1st lesson this evening with trainer Yvoone. Her words always make me laugh & remain at ease. About Boxercise...a kind of cardio exercise with upbeat music & movements. I really enjoyed the 1hr training that incorporated stretching, boxing & kicking. I also met new sport enthusiasts through this course.

****Venture Out****

I got my half-day leave today! It is always a relief to get off the phone. I hold strongly to the ideology that the person u mixed with, listen to & talk to influence one's thinking, mood & behavior. If i'm going to chat my life away on the phone with many "negative" people than i better off be out somewhere doing wat i like, keeping myself in a state of "positive." Today i met my khaki Angelia after her class for a short catch-up. I utilized the remaining time before my boxercise in AMK library reading. Libraries my favorite spots in whole of Singapore...peaceful & quiet & resourceful...never felt i'm wasting my life away there.

2006-09-20T23:07:00.000+08:00

One & a half yr, tat the last time i saw him. Ah gotcha...my insurance agent tat who i'm toking abt. Anyway got an update abt my saving policy frm him, toking abt my future plans & so forth. Hehe he's having a hard time keeping track of my whereabt...coz i be working in company A & before he knew it, i be working in company B liao. If not i be back to studying or somewhere overseas...tatz wat he told mi. Mi quite a hassle but interesting...:P Keke it was great toking to him...he's more like a friend.

My "half-sister" Sanying came for interview at NWA today. Sincerely wish she get selected, get through the 1 mth training & join the real battle frontline with us in no time. I'm really thrilled at the idea of working with my studymate once again.

I am cursed by the word "manager" today. I have a China res agent phoning regarding a pax which requires the manager's attention. Haiz since itz my phone, i hv to get our manager & help as much as i can....stress! Then there was a passenger who wants to redeem free ticket using her voucher. She is very flexible in her itinerary and suggested a range of dates tat she can travel. However seats for free redemption are limited & the passenger wanted a confirmation on the phone immediately. Thus the manager needed someone to help her conduct the search for all alternatives possible...unluckily i was the chosen one. Stress...coz if i dun produce anything wat is going to happen? I also hate working beside the manager or having traineers listening on my phone calls...it juz get unnatural!

2006-09-17T10:30:00.000+08:00

Finally got a taste of my 1st bowling on Fri...my proudest result of 14 points which rendered me last place. I make quite a clown of myself there but really enjoyed the company & laughter shared. I muz thank my patient "teachers" namely Hazel, Tony & Brendan who introduced me to a whole new sport of bowling. Hehe dun expect mi to join the company's bowling competition this Fri...Jimmy only have 2 choices:
1) I support or
2) I dun show up on Fri for work. It is also for the benefit of our department if they do not wish to lose the competition. I'm so scare next time the ball will not juz fall behind but hit somebody, then wat should i do?...hahaha :P

Dim sum buffet yesterday at Peninsula Renaissance Hotel is delicious. I miss those delicacies juz thinking abt it now. Hee i will never forget the bitter expression on Kaiqin & Angelia face when they tasted the vegetable (Raw Veggie?) & black dessert (Cough Syrup?) LOL. It is filling & value for money est. $17 per pax. I look forward to our Chinese Garden date during the Moon Cake festival.

2006-08-29T21:58:00.000+08:00

I became a complaint help desk today...OMG! Almost like a refund department! Hey i'm not the one owning you money...so dun breath down my neck passengers. The worst thing is they refused to hang up the phone...even if u promised to check & get back to them. It is like if u dun resolve it for them today, they wun be able to find you tomorrow...haiz i am not in-charge so why find me??? (Joking) LOL i just wish they have more trust in people who is going out of the way to help them.
Whateva...sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice. My Sunday marathon was a memorable one. I was joking with my elder sisters abt how bad we might look if the guys rush past us like the world is under attack since they are all well trained in Army. In the end, they were ok...i do admire the flag bearer who can shout, lead & run fast with a flag. Hehe too bad i was too tired to go around hunting for them during the run or even after it :P Then it starts to rain soon after & we were soaking wet on the grass...in fact i miss getting drench!
Wish tomorrow would be a better day...a compliment day? Hahaha....ah tat tat.

2006-08-26T14:20:00.000+08:00

I wake up this morning to 20...haha actually i countdown to 12am in the cinema.

2006-08-21T21:42:00.000+08:00

Wanted to introduce some of the joy, laughter, miseries & tears at work. In fact, worldwide communication is fun...at the same time frustrating! There are a few types of people who can really put you off! Trust me...you dont wanna hear from them (in descending orders) :
1) Complaining passengers - Some can stool so low as to not pay ticketing fee.
2) Arrogant passengers - They believe they know more than you, then why they call in?
3) Travel agents - They always make u feel that the problems they created is your responsibilities.
4) Privacy invasive passengers - I think i need to find a marriage agency number to get them off the line.

Other than this...keke the joy at work..sort-of:
1) I once spoken to a Taiwanese who sounded like Zheng Yuan Chang...Sexy voice. I dun mind chatting for hours (".!)
2) Rich guys...you know one when they took Biz Class & looking at their frequent flyer miles.
3) Americans are usually polite n courteous.
4) Some Chinese are welcoming...wanted to visit you at office. Haha we are in Singapore, Boy ;)

Break-off dreams *Thud* Need to remind myself of the good points so i won't be negative at work. *Sign*...

2006-08-06T22:43:00.000+08:00

This Sunday is becoming history again...
Went to the Popular book sales in Expo by a shuttle bus service in Ang Mo Kio. My initial thought was to buy some of my favorite author's books but turned out I bought Dim Sum cook book & puzzle book. There wasn't much novels except assessment books. Coincidently, Rock Climbing World Cup 2006 was going on at a nearby hall...that was really interesting. Climbers from all over 30 countries gathered to compete for $300,000 cash & title. The Spain climbers are very agile and strong, Japan & Korea have climbers as young as 16 years old...way-2-go!
Oh yea...i signed up for the Safra Sheares Bridge Run & Army Half Marathon 2006 at a booth today by chance. The Singapore Run will be held on 27 Aug (Sun) starting pt at Esplanade Drive & ending at St. Andrew's Road. Guys if u are game for it, what are u waiting for??? Join now before it is too late for a 6km or 21km run.

2006-07-31T22:59:00.000+08:00

Feeling down today? Needed a good laugh? Trust me...this will work. It might take some time to load but it is definitely worth the waiting. It was very hilarious that my stomach hurts, i also cried out tears, all the days worries is gone in just a moment...a second.
Watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aituLOWJxH8

Despite having little time to spend since started work, i wanted to make the best use of what's limited i have. My main motivation is to keep going on....my anticipation list:
1) Jogging- At least once a week
2) Sports- To learn new staff such as tennis, boxercise [Coming up in Sep], Dances
3) Adventure- Hiking, Absailing...wateva events that come up during the weekend.
4) Books- Nothing feel better than to spend some time with myself, resting on the bed with a good book.
5) Shopping- What's pay for??? A sign to hit the stores for my wants & needs!

2006-07-29T17:46:00.000+08:00

Our trainer Tina is flying back to Minneapolis on Aug 02. As a farewell gesture, we (trainees) held a group gathering yesterday after work for them. First, we went to Marche in Suntec City for dinner. I had a plate of fried potatoes with cheese pork, waffle with mango fruits & vanilla ice cream (thump-up) and calamansi with sour plum drink. After filling our stomach, it is time for some exercise which we decided to stomp off to the Devil's Bar. I managed to sneak away with a glass of vodka orange, & was only allowed to drink plain water from then on. Keke my colleagues think i am underage for such places & took extremely good care of me. Oh i have a hell of a time tho coz i can still dance there...
We left the place at 12.00am & took cabs home in groups. I reached home safely at 12.30am & was given a small telling-off by my brother because of the awful smell that lingers from Devil's Bar. Sleazy place is the word he describe clubs...a definite nono for negotiation. I was let-off lecturing easily as i have to report to work early the next day for training.

2006-07-25T20:53:00.001+08:00

"Save The Last Dance For Me"

Showing on tv every Monday & Tuesday at 7pm, it is a drama never to be miss. Amazingly touching with very simple casts such as Kang Hyun-woo & Eugene. The scenarios are rather similar to Taiwan drama "My frog Prince" where the main guy lost his memories after an accident. He fall in love with the girl who took him in, regained his past memories shortly but leaving out the times he spent with the girl. You might think the plot is beating around the bush but it was the process that made the story extremely heart-breaking.

Hardly able to catch a breather at work, calls are streaming in from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Singapore. The saddest true i realized from work, Singaporeans are the most demanding, arrogant, stubborn & difficult passengers to serve. I always boil up talking to them when trying to get a point across. Our communications are perfectly fine but things seem more tough to get accomplish. My impression of Singapore guys have dropped since starting work, think i will shun them like plague unless he look like kang Hyun-woo or Chad? Hahaha :P

2006-07-05T22:49:00.000+08:00

^^Plague by Mishaps^^

1) Broken shoes
I was in distress this morning when my shoes give out on me. Have to drag myself back to the office. It was a pathetic sign. However, I felt the hearts of kind souls strongly today in the office. Those who open & hold the door for me, those who asked if I needed help, oh ya Stanley for buying a pair of slipper back for me. LOL his bad luck to hv met me but I was really in luck *chuck*. Many shops were not open for operation yet in the morning, so he has to walk some distances...couldn't express my heartfelt thanks.

2) Final Test
Same old thing...I was nervous. My condition worsen with the broken shoes excitement. Didn't performed well this time round with many "unneeded" careless mistakes.

3) Live Calls
Juz when I was rejoicing in replacing my broken shoes, I was pinpointed to help to take sales calls. *Sweat* I wanted to freak out but I took many deep breath to calm myself down. Guilt came crawling in when I send some staff running up & down for my phone sign-in code problem. Eventually, it turned up I did not sign-out of my code from the previous phone I used for practice! How apologetic (".!) Couldn't bring my face up to face them...they did not reprimand me...OMG! I'm so troublesome, a trouble maker...so sorry***

2006-06-28T22:52:00.000+08:00

*Yawn* nite already? Lately i hv come to my senses losing all traces of time, rushing to & from work. Watz up my sleeves? Many hv been wondering...
No big secrets!!! I hv been infected with "exercism". LOL finding lotsa of pleasure jogging, doing Yoga & Pilate & Meditation.
My "food crazism" was triggered too...enrolled myself in an upcoming 3hr Shanghai Dimsum making course this Sat (1 Jul). Missed HKG food too much...Haha can't wait to get my hands on those flour...most importantly the end product! Expect lots of mummy san there to guide & help me through. Dun look down on me wo...altho i seldom do cooking, can't really hold a knife properly but dimsum no need knife rite? I'm good with my hands & mouth...my greatest virtue, a master of perfection in hiding all flaws...so this is a "Peanut" lah! 5 min done! LOL taste not guaranteed but appearance assured!
Wish me Luck!!! Dun wanna drop dead from exhaustion or dimsum poisoning :)

2006-06-24T13:20:00.000+08:00

Feeling thankful for the morning breeze, grateful for the evening weather, light-spirited in everything i do...
despite losing big time in my bets on Soccer matches. I truly enjoy my training at Northwest Airlines...really felt i hv accomplished something. There is something meaningful to look forward to everyday...a sudden surge of energy & happiness. That does not include the strange teasing i hv to endure everyday at work by those male colleagues...who linked me with Brandon. Watz going on??? Sometimes i felt they are really childish...to bully "the baby" (Youngest) of the company...Me!
Affair of the heart is beyond my control...frustrating! Dun wanna think abt it nor want people to joke abt it...i'm a very serious person when cums to this matter. However, i hv learned to deal with it better such as ignoring it, laugh it off or shake it off with a "I'm SBU" (Single but Unavailable).

I scored a 96 marks this time for the 4th test :) Way to Go!!! Muz give myself more support & confidence to do even better. Jia You!!! Same goes to everyone out there :)

2006-06-20T18:57:00.000+08:00

The soccer matches are starting to warm up. Getting more entertaining everyday...Croatia V Japan 0-0 where a Croatia player gesture to the referee to use his eyes when he was found to be at fault. Japan goalkeeper kawakuchi save their game by keeping out the attackers numerous shots.
A fast match was played by Switzerland V Togo 2-0. Togo striker Adebayor(4) was constantly caught on the screen, superstar during the game. A funny guy who uses his hand once during the match & thought he kick a goal + received a penalty kick, which never happened. Westlife boyband Shane look-alike Alexander Frei(9) went in the 1st goal for Switzerland during the 1st half of the match yesterday. A beautiful shot...my idol!
Saudi Arabia V Ukraine 0-4 & Spain V Tunisia 3-1....
I was harrassed by red ants this morning, caused me to miss my 1st bus to work. Gosh...i didn't realise i was standing in a middle of ants pool at the bus-stop till it is too late. I ran home to change out my covered shoes & jeans into a pair of slipper & skirt. Turn out i was 10mins late for work...thanks to the ants! I'll remember them for that...

2006-06-18T09:23:00.000+08:00

As the World Cup progresses...my hope began to dim daily. Haiz Czech lost to Ghana 0-2. Crashing defeat since Czech had performed splendidly the 1st round. Worst of all, Italy draw with USA 1-1, & the ball for USA was a gift by Italy! OMG lost 2 "confident" matches within a night. However, the Italy V USA match is damn interesting...fierce fight with 3 red cards given out.
Some funny Pepsi soccer video:

For those who love Rain:

Oh well...i did great for my friday 3rd airline test with a score of 93 mark. Yuppie Yea! We hv to average 80 mark in overall accumulation of the test results, so praying that i can keep my standard in order to stay in the company. 2 trainees from our company hv left...a pity.
Not to forget friday treat! Haha this time is not from the company but sponsored by Keng Sieng our "walking bus guide". Keke he brought us pastries of all kinds such as Cheese cake, Corn puff & Pandan cake. Too bad he can't help himself to those food becoz of his braces. Occasion unknown for his sudden treat...keke bribing the trainers to get better grades??? (Joking)

2006-06-13T21:53:00.000+08:00

I broke my etiquette principle today...eating Long John Silver chicken using my bare hands. The server left out the knife for my take-away. I attempted to use the fork to no avail especially when we are left with 10 mins for lunch. Argh my preservation weaken when i saw Stanley uses his hand...haha he didn't get his share of the knife as well, if not i would hv steal it from him ;) Luckily we were eating at the staff pantry, thus didn't look too bad amongst our fellow colleagues.
Yesterday soccer match Japan VS Australia 1-3. OMG i felt like crying...how can Australia kick 3 balls within 8 mins? I think they set the record for highest no. of goals within the shortest time. However, my disappointment diminishes with subsequence matches of Italy & Czech winning. Hooray!

2006-06-11T12:57:00.000+08:00

***World Cup***

The beginning of the match is on Fri with Germany VS Coata Rica. How interesting with a score of 4-2 in comparison to that played by England VS Paraguay 1-0. Moreover it was a giveaway ball...Anyway, i hope that today matches will be more exciting.

***Training***

On Fri, we were tested on the system based on what was taught for the whole week. Keke scored a 96 mark. All credit goes to my colleagues & trainers who fill me in as much as possible for the lessons i missed on Wed due to graduation ceremony. Made 2 careless mistakes such as giving the terminal for departure instead of the gates, really deserve a hard wrecking on the head. Our company awarded us for our hardwork this week with Haagan Daz ice cream! Yummy yummy...

***Graduation Ceremony***

Held in Temasek Convension Center, the venue was crowded with students & parents from HTM & BUS. A 2 hrs torturing ceremony of listening to guest speakers & receiving our certificates, we were released to the reception. We gathered for group photographs & chatting up with tutors & long-missed friends. Personally, i hate going for watsoeva ceremony...I have started afresh working, so i hv no wish to return back to the past. I have wonderful memory in poly but i just wanna leave them at that...behind...

2006-06-06T21:44:00.000+08:00

Late!!! "Daymare" for mi every time i wake up for work...never been early, only come close to be on the dot. Now with this hard maintenance hair, i find that i hv problem with time management. The saddest thing is my pic was taken on my bad hair day! *Sob*
Training at work the past 2 days were great. I hv met many co-workers & really enjoy sharing all the joy & woes of learning. Lessons was fun as we helped one another along & go for lunch together & so forth. A "Honeymoon" period i will miss definitely once the training ends. Oh ya...tomorrow is my Graduation Ceremony! Keke was approved of a half day off to attend the function in school. Not without the expense of sacrificing my Sat to sit-in a makeup lesson. However, i appreciate their intention to fill-me-in on what i missed :)

2006-06-04T00:32:00.000+08:00

#New Hairstyle#

I permed my rebonded hairs of 1 yr to wavy! A major risk becoz curls make one look older & mature...hence it can either fit you or spoilt you. I was shocked by the reflection from the mirror at the end..."Lion King." Not joking, that was terrible. I was thinking how am i supposed to report for test like this on 03 June? Luckily, a lady hairdresser took over my male hairdresser to resavage my hair. Anyway i dun feel that i looked more mature, thought i looked kiddish. My younger sis repeatedly addressed me as princess...Argh spare me that.

#Airport Code Test#

Our office is located in SingPost Paya Lebar. Had a hard time finding the correct lifts that goes up to the test venue. I only managed to get to the room with the collaborated help of all lost colleagues like me. I was took by surprise to see one of my poly sch mate in the room too. Jaja is taking up the Sales Support position which is different frm mine. However, we have to undergo the same tests & system training. Oh ya the test...easy! No marking as they do not want to hurt anyone's dignity & pride. We hv Caucasians trainers who are really friendly & outgoing...

#North Point#

One word "Memorable!" LOL is it a good or bad experience...I dunno how shld i rate it. Hmm a worthy lesson learned & free movie plus drink...LOL. All thanks to Angelia, if not i will not stand to gain all these ;) Keke it is not a total disaster really...juz that there seem to be lacking in communication. It is like two different world put under a single space & the situation juz run out of hand, unpredictable & unimaginable. A secret between you & me...I will keep my lips tighted. People keep on guessing what i'm trying to say here...LOL

2006-05-30T10:42:00.000+08:00

Dun mention codes! Tat drove mi crazy...or rather insane. This few days my mind is filled with hundreds of airport codes, state & country codes, maps...how interesting (".!) Once the proudest object in my room ~My World Map~ now can't wait to paste something over it. Travelling is definitely a luxury, an excitement, an escapade...keke beyond words can describe. Knowing n studying yet not able to travel is a misery! Wat i always say "My body is here, My mind is already there" *Wept* There are so many places i wanna go...*Paris, *Rome, *Korea, *Las Vegas...wonder wat it is like to be backpacking around the world??? Muz find a rich guy 1st...LOL :P

<Health Tips>For those who have no appetite...go for a 15 mins run! After that you will have a total empty stomach for many bowls of rice. From personal experience & you dun get fat if u exercise regularly, setting it as a routine like thrice a week :)
<News> Las Vegas Sand proposal is undertaken by Singapore for its new integrated resort plan. Amongst the four competitors i preferred this group. Have an eye opener in Macau then of their Casino~Majestic! However the emphasis here is Family & Business orientated...so will expect something different. Look forward to the construction.

The Da Vinci Code movie was BORING!!! I prefer the book to the movie. If i hv to rate out of 5 stars, i would give it 2 stars. The whole movie goes slowly & there seem to be no climax! I was yawning away halfway...my frenz told mi she almost fell asleep~zZz~ I can't believe the whole theatre was full when i watched it on last sat (20 May) afternoon (2.30pm). We hv to take the front row seats & i guess tat also affected our mood with tat kind of resting position.
I like those scenes on deciphering of codes...other than tat i hv no doubt tat Jesus is the sacred Christ after the movie. The painting of Last Supper was something done by an artist...an artistic expression only which resulted in the controversy of the existence of Mary Magdalene. Put it simply is seeing believing? i dun put my faith in the eye but the heart. I also dislike Dan Brown for pulling out pieces of verses from Bible to justify his claims...part & pieces usually are not accurate & often misleading. In our normal daily life, we hv many examples of oni knowing part of the story & jumping to conclusion...

A week of outings, i finally find peace at home right now. Poor ting...received homework from company even before the start of work...going to be tested on 03 June (Sat). Looks like my holidays have ended earlier than i thought.

We hv our games, BBQ & Birthday celebration. 2nd day was cycling, games, Wild Wild Wet, enjoying the sea breeze & watching soccer. Reli enjoyed myself there...especially Angelia's mum legendary & ghost stories. I cldn't bring myself to sleep after the story telling altho i'm dead beat...alone in a foreign rm? No way! I managed to kept myself awake to 2.30am & joined Angi on watching the soccer match for Barcelona VS Arsenal. Keke i oni caught the 1st 10mins...& Zzz took mi away. I was awaken by Angi with the sad news tat Arsenal lost the match...haiz!

I meet up wif 2 grps of Sec skool frenz respectively today. In the aftnd, i meet up wif Joyce at PS mall to buy some of our stuff, Angi & Pat in the evening at Orchard. We did alot of catching up...keke i found out so much secrets today & so did they abt mine. Interesting how foolish we used to be...LOL :P
In Pri Skool i'm a trickster...hmm not sumting i'm proud of but reli laughable toking abt it to sumone now. Rite now i oni wish my Pri skool mates dun show up in front of mi...i'll run!
In Sec Skool...i tink there were many misunderstandings abt mi. I almost laughted to tears hearing frm Angi & Pat exactly wat the hell happened....so silly! All i can say now is tat they were false lah. Some facts abt mi tat only Joyce & Kaiqin whom been wif mi since Sec 1 knew. They took place in the past & i believed tat after the sharing here, i can reli let it go & people cld understand more abt mi.
* I only like one special senior since Sec 1 for 3 yrs till he left after Sec 4. Reli sad...i saw him on his last day in skool, quite fortunate :) My grades dropped badly in Sec 4. Izzit becoz i can no longer feel his presence i also not sure but i lost some motivation, direction...haha serious but i still moved on frm there.
* If i reli like someone, i will let him noe in one way or another coz i dun wan to live in regret. Tat senior knew...for info sake. Keke no big deal.

Tat is my greatest secret n is no longer one liao...coz they served no purpose. The most important ting now is to do my best for my career, my family & my frenz. Living happily is my principal to life...muz smile more. Tat tat...

2006-05-04T16:09:00.000+08:00

My "Shi Qi" had finally come...wat i termed as the days i have to go for interviews & get questioned like a criminal. Today, my interviewers are two pretty ladies frm USA and Taipei respectively frm XXX Airlines...held in Suntec Convention Center. This interview is different frm many tat i hv encountered so far. I was tested on both my English & Mandarin spoken & written skills...no need to guess i flung the Chinese written test. No words registered altho i noe exactly wat i shld write...see wat becum of my world w/o chinese dictionary? Haiz...their questions also differ frm the norm, where they usually asked why they shld hire u? why u want to take up this post etc. Their questions were e.g. Tell mi a time where u need to convince someone to do something for you, Some of the goals & targets at work & how u try to achieve them & many more. *Headache* I rack my brain in there for a quite sometime. It is also not easy to switch frm Eng to Chinese & back again in the conversation...Overall, my confidence drop frm 90% to 50% (SAD but still HOPEFUL)
Joke for the day, i met this guy while waiting for the interview. He tell me he is going for the managerial post & wonder if i am too...My eyes immediately drop not becoz i juz met a "manager" but do i look so old or so capable???...my respond is "I'm 19! Still hv much to learn" LOL he is a nice guy afterall, if i get in & he too...then he will be my manager. Dun PLAY PLAY.

I told myself never to cry in front of someone who makes me cry...i didn't until he left. In fact, i felt more indignant than angry...how can someone overlook your work, your contributions & your worthiness??? I hated his "unfeeling" words...the way he treat his staff. Maybe it is because of such boss, the staff are extremely kind & understanding souls. I have tendered my resignation, not in a fit of anger but knowing that my future path will be brighter if i leave. My principle...to remain happy no matter what. If i stay on, i'll definitely be miserable coz i have to liaise with him & him only...how terrible.
I wanna take this chance here to thank my colleagues coz i left in a hurry...hope u all can see this.

Leo- Thank for the smile when i can't control my tears...It is my honor to have met a nice gentleman like you. Thanks for the final bidding...i wish you well too in the company. Jia You!
Belinda- Now that i have left, you have to take on all my duties...sorry. Thanks for teaching me so much.
Wendy- Thank you for bringing me to eat when i was really down. LOL i did swallowed as much as i could...
Peter- A "fatherly" figure in the company to me. I always find comfort in talking to you.
The rest of the tour consultants- Don't worry abt me! Many i did not get to bid my farewell...i want to say "Thank You". You all are my support since i entered into the company...haha :)

A nice video i like very much...dedicated to all my colleagues...

Wat a looong holiday...although i still went back to work on Sat for half a day. Talking abt Sat, early morning i was called into the boss room. Thought i have got myself into "trouble" again but apparently he just wanted to know wat is my plan regarding other broadcastings. He also told me he knew i hv the intention to leave...who tell tales on me behind my back! Shit i got myself into a fix...he did some advising & encourage me to wait longer to see if i really hated the job. We talked openly abt how we felt...he honestly confessed that my Chinese is #$$% (No words can describe :P) Haha wat can i say but glad he realised that too.

After work, i went cycling with my sis to the library. Nice weather since that was after a pouring rain. On the way back at around 6.30pm, i saw Mr. Fung (TP Tutor)...still as cute as ever with his wife. I rode pass him & we exchanged quizzy look...haha wondering if i saw whom i thought i saw...he must have felt the same. I never reli talk in his class or at least never seem interested to discuss...keke hope he dun remember me at all.

Boring Sunday, took the test from Angelia's blog:

The band "Hawthorne Heights sings about your life. "Niki FM" is most like you. You love someone apparently.Take this quiz!

Same feeling as Angi...How true??? For mi to know, for nobody business to find out...hahaha :P

----------------------
"Grow up"...that's something i longed for but regreted.

2006-04-14T12:42:00.000+08:00

GOOD FRIDAY!! Extremely grateful that i dun hv to return to work. Damn computer & MS Outlook make me frustrated...my designs never once turn out correctly after it was sent via email to my boss for confirmation. Gosh...frequently get called into his room abt the graphic etc. Hee luckily he sent for Mr.Teo, IT expert to help me look into the problems. After so many days at work...introduce some of my energetic colleagues at work.

1) Judy & Wendy (Tkting Manager & Asst.Manager)...nice ladies. One often ask me to help her search for info on the internet & printing stuff. The other tell me some unpleasant things abt the company LOL (Juz venting her anger).
2) Leo & Wei Xiang (Tkting wholesales & staff)...sitting beside each other. "Da Yuan Jia" can fight over issues that are reli childish & move on from there to get along amicably. Funny lots...
3) Belinda & Ice (Operation supervisor & Asst)...dealing with the boss & tours matter directly, thus always get the scolding & black face. Reli admire them for their tolerance...Belinda taught mi quite abit of the systems since i will also cover some of her tasks in future. My closest colleagues at work.
4) Judy, ALice,Shirley, Peter, Xiao Jing (Tour consultants)...the people who make my day too. Since i dun hv to serve customers directly, i hardly hv chance to open my mouth except to them LOL. Intelligent in their tour products, some even lead tours personally..."Xian Mu Shi" loh. Especially Peter "Auntie Sha Shou", always hv lots of them looking for him...keke no wonder he frequently complain abt seeing them :P

There are more of them but i haven got to know them at a better level yet. Time will improve my relationship with people...i really want to talk to customers instead of facing the computer everyday. If not "Wo Yao Fong Diao" leh...

2006-04-09T15:17:00.000+08:00

My Korean Drama Review again....this time i am recommending "My 18 Year Old Bride!" It is now showing on Channel U every Mon & Tue at 7pm.

Synopsis

Han Ji Hye plays a highschool girl who is not very good in her studies. Her only wish is to get married. She has an arranged marriage with Lee Dong Geun, an attorney. However, she is 18 and he is 28. Therefore, the guy has his reservation about marrying the girl (No intention at all). He wanna catch the bad guys and to him she is just a little girl. Oh by the way, he has someone he love already.

The story took a turn when the girl persevered...overall really really touching! A "Must Watch" romance and comedy. Too bad i have to work OT, missed the 1st episode. The rest i guess i will stand no chance of catching as well...haiz! My favourite actor Lee Dong Gun has changed so much compared to his earlier image. Hee last time he has baby fat...hmm long hair which prostrate a rather easy going outlook. He started out as a singer but his album did not sell well. He strived hard into acting after that & had a big break through through this show. Keke his girlfriend is Han Ji Hye, the school girl acting opposite him.

2006-04-07T20:49:00.000+08:00

My 5th day at work...one word "hectic!" I am in-charge of tour products development, something very new to me. Urg...my friends told me that usually1st& 2nd week at work shld be relaxing and stress-free one, that's what i think so too. However, i was already asked to pick-up skills on how to do broadcasting, posters, editing itineraries & so forth on the 2nd day, and to show my boss the samples i come out with. On the 3rd day, i was required to come out with one of the tour promotion poster and a broadcasting idea to our travel partners. Abt the poster, keke i wasted 2 sheets of my boss A3 coloured paper! My boss came running after me...haha but he is very patient in guiding me and did not reprimend me for being so blur. The 1st time i forgot to set the page setting from A4 to A3 and the 2nd time, i overshot the page allowance. Anyway, i launched my very 1st broadcasting today! Keke supposed to be yesterday, but things cope up and arr..."failure to launch." Hee i received responses for the broadcasting and i felt my effort paid off (Grinning from ear to ear).
I have been working OT since Day 2 at work...knocking off at 8pm instead of 6pm. No extra pay wo! Haiz...i became even more afraid to come to work after the whole departments meeting on Thurs. The boss told us our quotas...expectations. Then, i realised he had more constructive plans for me...felt like crying! *STRESS*
I told myself to try adapting to the new environment & lifestyle rite now...instead of thinking that i can take it no longer...until abt a mths time or so...I hope i will still be there LOL...

2006-03-21T21:18:00.000+08:00

Alrite...i set my heart to work! My trip to NTU make me realised tat i dun wanna study further now. Keke primary factor is there is no "Shuai Ge" (".!)...haha at least not when i went for the open house (Joking...there shld be somewhere..) Actually, i have no special interest in any courses yet. Thus, i wanna wait till i recognise my strength & passion1st...
Good news...i was offered a job in a travel agency (Yeah!) It was a victory for a start but I dunno whether to feel delighted animore coz i was given a task tat i was not confident in...marketing. Challenging job scope tat requires me to use lots of Chinese in writing (My han yu pin yin suck! not to mention real chinese words *faint*), dress code of formal n skirt from mon to fri (i dun wanna be girlish!)...Arr tat could be the beginning of nightmare.
The boss is really nice judging from the interview...the work environment "almost all male"? or is it "all male"?...wat i saw then was all male but tat was not their full staff strength yet (Cross-fingers)...haiz now i'm praying.
*Sanying, u are my "jiu xing." Muz help me...

2006-03-11T10:02:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a joyous occassion...i passed my exams! without the need to take sub-papers. I couldn't sit tight the whole day at home becoz my sis will be the 1st person to see my results via sms. I reminded her numerous times if i failed muz call home to let me know...& yesterday i received many calls but not looking for me *Relief*. I actually thought i need to retake my TM dev & policies paper...still remember the last 40marks essays were tough regarding St.John island & development there which i never when & know nuts abt it too. The person sitting beside me should hv noticed that i was panicking like Mr.Bean...haha scraping off pages after pages with my ruler when i only write a few lines. The funny thing is i actually did well for it...how strange!

I also got my new hp when it was delivered to my house yesterday. A picture of my new phone (right). Muz call or message mi wo! Yup today heading for NTU Open House...see the environment & courses available. Who noes i might juz stumble into a course tat i like or a handsome guy there who make mi want to stay...lol. More news cuming up when i explore the sch after today...stay tune!

2006-03-09T18:32:00.000+08:00

I did a spring cleaning this afternoon...chance upon those season's greeting cards and letters i received throughout my entire life. Reading through them, i was send back into my memory...

My pri sch days were filled with many tragic events, grieving and sadness. I was also a weak child physically and academically. I can still recall how i was always sick in pri sch & had to be send to the sick bay & my cute frenz will visit me during recess with lots of food. I was a slow student then as well...when people are striving to be in the top position in class, i was trying hard not to be the last. My mum passed away when i was in pri 4 and my bro assumed a strict disciplinary role of monitoring us. I know he cared about us by hitting us when we did not do well, but the terror last till now. I find that i could not speak to him on a heart-to-heart basis..in fact, we hardly talk. Thus, i want to thank my pri sch frenz for helping me through the worst phrase of my life & make me wat i am today. Those encouragements, letters, cards and the study help given by many. Not to forget, my dearest teachers Mr Singh, Mrs Dillon, Mrs De Suza and Cik Siti who always believed in me.

My sec sch mates were the hilarious one. My happier moment were in Sec 1...but that did not last when i got promoted from normal stream to express. In fact, i was suddenly outcast by them when i have not even settled down in Sec 2 class...i can still recall the numerous times i cried then becoz i felt so alone and i couldn't cope with the speed at which everything is going. I even asked myself repeatedly if i made the right choice and would my life have turned out better if i choose otherwise? My conclusion is if i did not, i would not have met my best buddies till now person A and person P! You know who you are...lol i still remembered how abstract biology is & i never seem to understand anyting tat is taught by Mrs Doom. The strangest thing is both of urs biology were really great while i kept failing her tests & exams...we always mingle & sit together during her lessons. Keke she had this impression both of you were distracting me...lol the knocky thingy she always carried around with her, frequently cum knocking down on both of you...lol. Ah i juz wanna say a very sincere thank you here for getting me out of troubles at any moments then especially in biology class & still staying in close contact till now. Aligato! :)

My decision to take the poly route marked a new life for me. I undertake the name EVE & started to create my own small world...still quiet in nature but a much happier and lively person. I met some really fun-loving frenz throughout the 3 yrs...Person S, Person C, Person M, Person W & Person G. We participated in many school events together such as Stump, TP Open House, Orientation, Camp etc...& the many self-organized events like Wild Wild Wet, Shopping spree, touring overseas etc are the things i will never forget. I wanna thank you all for being there with me in projects, exams, classes and lectures this 3 yrs...and the one to fulfill my dream of flying! My first plane ride was to Hong Kong...very memorable *Sob*. Aligato! :)

Hereby, i wish all my frenz in my entire life all the best in their future undertaking. Muz Take Care wo! Let us make a name for ourselves in the world out there yo!

2006-03-05T12:30:00.000+08:00

Did anyone go to the career & edu fair at Suntec yesterday? The place was really packed with people...keke i also unexpectedly saw Steward at the STB booth. He's working for STB? Who noes...but i tot a gentleman like him shld join the hotel line instead lol. Keke i doubt he recognized me yesterday coz i got a funny haircut...very different wo!(Reli cute :P)
Aniway, i got many brochures from the fair abt education. They have many universities from overseas present under one roof like UNSW, Monash & many others from Australia & UK. Local university booths such as NUS, NTU and SIM are available too...always crowded.
As for career...uniform groups like Police Force, Civic Defence & Prison Officer are recruiting people. Disappointing tho...dun have ani special HTM booth except STB tat do provide brochures on recruitment by the tourism industries. MOE is there too...so if wanna becum teacher can go there and understand more.
Suntec also having lots of sales...ebase must check it out wo! Their items range from $8 to $25+++ :)

Oops! How blur can i become...keke oni tok abt the "Wonderful Life" casts but not the synopsis. There goes...

Synopsis

People like to say, "Love knows no national boundaries or age." "Love is fate." or "Love has the power to overcome all difficulties." However, what is the ultimate stage of love? Marriage? This could sound ridiculously old-fashioned, especially to the younger generation. They still fall in love of course, but becoming a part of a system such as marriage can be troublesome, at best. And its responsibility is bothersome, as well. Most of all, it's unimaginable for many young people to give up their dreams for love and marriage. Put in a nice way, they are very practical, open-minded and liberal about their love life. However, they are selfish about love at the same time. They are the generation of instant gratification. They still fall in love, but they refuse to give up their free life styles. They still get married, but they don't give up their careers. Their love life is just a personal choice, and they strongly resent being judged by other people's standards of right and wrong.

However, with love comes responsibility. Loving someone is about being responsible for your own feelings and your own decisions. Loving someone is agreeing to take responsibility for yourself and the person you love.

The story of two young college students (played by Kim Jae-won and Eugene) who accidentally become parents because of the one-night stand they had during vacation. They then get married. These young and inexperienced parents will show you what true love really means and how they become more mature by overcoming life's difficulties together and how they complete their love.

2006-03-01T10:28:00.003+08:00

My frenz are going crazy over Rain...ahh mi too! After watching tat "Full House" series, can't help but feel tat he is really cute. Keke today i gonna intro a Korea show "Wonderful Life" starring my fav actor Kim Jae Won, Eugene and my new found love Lee Ji Hoon!

Min Do-Hyeon (Acted by Lee, Ji-Hoon)
He's such a gentleman with good manners. He always seems neat and refined. He doesn't talk much. But he knows how to be terse and quick to the point. He's been successful throughout his life, but he's not interested in competing with others. He's very cynical; nothing really matters to him. He detests people who are obsessed with success and struggle to win. Nevertheless, he always wins and gets what he wants. He's the type of person that average people love to hate (top pic).

Han Seung-Wan (Acted by Kim, Jae-Won)
He's young and immature. He's a party animal. He's a very moody person. He's a frequent patron of the dance clubs around town. He's always welcome because he knows how to have fun. His father owns a mineral water company. He's handsome and cool, so he's popular everywhere he goes. And he secretly enjoys the fact that he's popular. He believes that women can't help but loving him. He has the characteristics of Don Quixote and Peter Pan at the same time. He majors in aeronautics. After graduation, he becomes a co-pilot for Sky Castle Airlines.

If you all have the money to spare can consider this show. Some of the scenes are shot in Singapore...overall quite touching. I like the part where Kim Jae Won fly the plane...coOL;)

2006-02-27T18:33:00.000+08:00

3 Days had passed since my last exam paper...Wow! My feeling at this very moment is undescribable. In fact i dun tink i will fair reli well in those paper but still...we have to live for the many days ahead not the present. For the time being, i juz want to enjoy myself to the fullest before sticking my head into the working world...a place where i dunno when i'll be able to enjoy myself as much as now.
Wat have i been doing all this while??? Hmm...doing lotsa of reading not text bks but self-enriching one like how to balance my lifestyle to keep stress level low & remain healthy. I also been practising my japanese and learning korean languages too...oh ya not to 4get exercising lotsa too. Besides jogging, i also cycled from home to Hougang Mall & Seng Kang Compass Point to visit the library & shopping...planning new routes soon. My new mode of transport save me quite alot of money since i did not buy student bus concession, keeping me alive till i start finding a job...lol :)
Been asking myself frequently wat kind of jobs interest me? My answer is themepark! A place where it is filled with many laughter and happy memories. Singapore oni have Escape themepark...haha wat a waste! I guess i have to ponder harder for alternative...

2006-02-02T16:58:00.001+08:00

My Chinese New Year
Four consecutive days of rest, I didn't get richer but poorer. Haiz...playing simple poker card games with my sisters can loss $2 in total without winning (My skills very good yah?). Money aside, I spend most of my dates at home preparing for the e-business interview which is conducted today. Not that I wished to but I don't have close relatives in Singapore, most of them resides in Malaysia. My dad was once a Malaysian before becoming a Singapore PR.

E-business Interview
It was supposed to be at 10am but my friends Gin, Sharon, Sabrina and me waited past an hour outside the room. Sharon even fall asleep while reading her materials...lol. I kept pacing up and down the alley, cannot keep still a moment. However, I did found some funny quotations that kept mi busy. Alright, we were called into the room at 11am and Mr Tan passed us 4 envelopes. We have to draw a single piece of colored paper from each envelope & numbers are written on it. Then, we call out the numbers which he immediately "bomb" us with the questions. Gosh...that was frightening especially when it is keeping us in suspense & I have to see how my friend was caught tongue-tied. The blue colored paper was the toughest...lol Mr.Tan kept asking me along the way wat are the terms for tis and tat, which I did & he asked me to explain the terms further, state examples...and its like never ending??? I explained until I dun even noe what the hell i'm saying! Gee but we are professionals who "smoke" through too many times, without revealing that we never studied comprehensively.

Happy Occasion
All projects and presentations are over! Keke I borrowed three books from school library to read namely The Lovely Bones, A Walk to Remember and Warning Signs. Haven touch novels for such a long time, text books have always been a part of my unfinished books.
Yo tomorrow going to "Lau Yu Sheng" with my best mates in poly. It is to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the end of all projects, our 3 years together and the last year in school!!! Wow so many reasons to celebrate...lol will definitely miss all my poly friends, acquaintances, lecturers and tutors.

2006-01-25T22:06:00.001+08:00

A whole day in the lab today almost break my neck...keke but i nearly break the stand that holds the keyboard, that's the truth (Shh!). This few days of staring at the computer screen, make me see stars. Wonder how long i can hold out there...i can't feel CNY mood! Hmm despite a buzy schedules, i felt much accomplishment for all that was done. The presentation for CPM and TM Dev project are fun although my group are so nervous. Lol especially TM Dev...can't believe we (representative of the residents) fighting will the other representative over a fishing area. Basically, we are talking cock and laughing all the way. It is supposed to be a formal presentation...oops what have we done?

Today i have my semester paper interview with Mr.Fung. Gosh...My heart was pumping all the way when i enter the room & sat down (Wait! Not becoz i have fantasy abt my tutor...he's married!) Lol...i went in with four other classmates, keke but we have to answer his questions individually. I was fortunate to bring my newspapers along because i forgot to quote a source for citing it in the text, and he asked me how i derived that conclusion and so forth. Wow...i break out in cold sweat but still get through safely. Another presentation tomorrow...Jia You loh Eve Foo!
Below are my wonderful group mates who went through thick n thin with me during the projects...

2006-01-21T10:48:00.000+08:00

Wow our school open house was so happening yesterday. Keke secondary school students filed into the building like ants, making it hard to walk. I was helping out at our HTM course booth in the chatroom. My duty was to conduct games to entertain this newbiz but with so many people it was a mission impossible. Lol in the end, i was giving my professional advice on our tourism courses. Not an easy task especially when the parents have extremely tough + weird questions & concerns. I also dun remembered how i smoke through (".)???
Yo this will be my last involvement in school...so sad! The whole event ended at 6pm & i fetch my sister home after that, killing two birds with one stone. Keke her school was sended over too, my dad was very worried abt her. Aniway,i take the chance to psycho her to join Design School to fullfill my 2nd dream. However, she feel more attached to the Applied Science School...O Bio Medical. Keke i was telling her she have to operate on live rats, frogs etc for experiments...Lol juz kidding her but she seemed to have 2nd thoughts (HeHeHe...)
Rite now i need to get ready for my job interview at 2pm. Hope luck is on my side! Haiz not really in the mood to talk coz i haven even graduated nor finishing my projects. Aniway...ALL the Best to MI!!!

Juz came back from school after the NAPFA test. Haiz juz managed to pull off a bronze..."thks" to my sit-&-reach. Lol to think i was a dancer in secondary school??? Aniway the truth is i love jumping around tatz why i joined dancing...not i'm flexible. Back in Secondary School this event is my worst and it is getting worst now. Nevertheless, i am still disappointed coz my other events are good.
YoO this test also showed me the importance of sportmanship. In the 2.4km run at Bedok Reservoir, we have cheaters and they are guys! Worst, they came in after people behind them who sweat hard for the placement. These cheaters are detestable & such a let-down plus disgrace to the guys. (*Shaking head*)
Ahh...good news! Our Ht Seminar tutor told us that the whole class passed the Educational trip paper. It is a load off my mind...i can still recall how hard it was to write abt the trip made to Macau, sumthing we are not familiar with after a 3days tour there.
Lol my nightmares are going to be over soon...can't wait!!!

Ah i think i'm going to be sick. Feeling so reckless & out-of-sort...the only way to get my attention is to give mi a hard beating. Keke to sum up i had mastered the art of "looking" but not "seeing". My energy is drained by the never ending projects. Once handled them in, there is still an oral presentation. If not there is an interview...my god!
In the afternood I attended two presentations in school. It is by the Emeralds Airlines and Youth Tourism Professionals respectively. Well...their talks are enriching althought i can't recall much of the details. I am not in my saint mind this few days to register anything.
Not to forget, job hunting before graduation. Really confusing and a big headache...i can't find my directions right now. I'm LOST and desperately need a COMPASS! If things can get better by crying, i would have already done that.
Keke but i'm little gal no more, must depend on myself now. Haiz! GOGO, JIAYOU!!!

Yo finally found time to write! keke last few days are such a headache. Besides handing up my essay, i was throw into a mess by another project & the tutor who teach tat subject. Ah dateline is monday...and i slept at 3am yesterday. Wow...Finally can call it a day coz i finished my part this afternood.
Oh this afternood i enjoyed a game of badminton with my sister. We also went to the exercise playground & was overwhelm by a group of kids suddenly...sure a shock! Then we returned home to cook spaghetti for the family. Ha they went to Sentosa this morning, but i couldn't join them coz i need my sleep (".)zZz
Now i'm watching the 9pm show "Xian Jian Qi Xia", the 1st episode wo! Keke but i watch it before already, and i like that "Tang Yu Xiao Bao" & "Ah Nu" character so much! I recommend it to all my friends...Every Saturday, 9pm!

Another rainy day...hope it is not Singapore Raining Season. Hmm if so...i dun see how it is not going to rain on the 18 Feb ("_)
Today went out with Sanying, her sisters and their other friends. Keke thought i was going to take the MRT, but her friend owned a car...& i get to hitch a ride from them. Such a cold weather, where did we go? No other than Jurong Ice Skating ring...quite crazy actually lol.
My whole body was shivering until i managed to warm myself up after a few rounds in the ring. Until now my feet still hurts from the shoes...but not as bad as Sanying one lol. Hee both of us was trying so hard to balance, while the rest are often looking out to see if we are doing fine. Overall, i enjoyed the excitement of skating on ice and meeting those new friends.

Yeah Saturday! I really have some good rest...woke up nearing afternood. My first thought is "Gosh! i have missed breakfast." However, i don't wanna eat lunch which is very fulling. Keke but my sister bought me Roti Prata already...so nice!
Basically i was loitering the house doing nothing. In fact, i tried reading some books but nothing seem to go through. Haiz! Then i give out to join my brother in watch a hilarious martial art show.
Actually i wanted to go out so much...yet i was raining the whole afternood. The rain stopped at 6pm, my usual timing to go for a jog. I went running around the neighbourhood for 2 rounds...I love the cool breeze so much! Running has definitely become my routine, not because i like exercising but it serve as a healthy way of venting frustration, it also calm me down to think logically and i get to see what are the changes around the area.
Today i received a weird call from a private number...suffered a great shock. He said he wanted to be fren mi...but i don't even know him! Aniway, i ended the call before he can continue. Rite now I am even more certain to get rid of my hp...to say simply is a tracking device, which can be misused as well. Keke my plan ending in Feb...looking forward to it!
Yoo till then i hope my journey to graduation can be smooth flowing. Kanbate ne!

"An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!" Keke i'm doing exactly just that, chewing on one right now. Wow Friday was so hactic for me...
Arr...that "slowcoach" (printer)in the lab landed me in trouble. I was late for lecture because of this. Huhaa...why mi again? I have done alot of running this past few days just not to be extra late. Oh ya, i registered for my NAPFA test on Wednesday 18 Jan. Wish me luck! I wanna get at least a bronze...keke then can get 15 seal points (My motivation!)
Another unfortunate event, my student bus concession expired today. Haiyo...i have to travel out of my normal routes just to get it top-up in Tampines Interchange. Worst, i don't have a direct bus from there back home (what a hassle!) On the journey, i think through alot about what i want do when i graduate...Go University? However, my passion is still to pursue Tourism course which means i have to study overseas. Hmm working? Yet i am scare that my dream and confidence will be shattered if i don't get my ideal job. I really hate choices...
Haiz...thought of venting my frustration with a good run, but it was already late and dark by the time i reached home. Aniway, my mp3 player runs out of battery, which left me with no mood to jog. Music is my life...my companion.
I hope i can figure out what to do with my life soon...but most importantly, time management. I don't wanna be victim to TIME again.

This morning was sure a rush for me. Wait up at 7.30am and leave my house at 8.00am. However, the bus is extremely late today due to morning traffic madness. I arrived in school at 9.20am...err 20mins late.
We began the day with peer sharing from each group about e-business, different type of marketing strategies, how to create a successful online business etc. The presentations are really beneficial to our project...we get to learn from each other.
The only class for the day...what a blessing. Taken some quiz from Patricia blog:

You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back. You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.
How Girlie Are You?

You're bright, opinionated, and dedicated to changing the world. Even if it's one hybrid car at a time, you do you part to make things better. In fact, you may be so busy with your causes that you have little time for love. Take an extra yoga class or two, and you just might meet New Age Guy!
What Kind of Girl Are You?

You Were 45% Naughty, 55% Nice You tried to be a good girl this year... But as you know, being good isn't that fun! If you're extra sweet, you may have enough time to get on that nice list.
How Naughty (Or Nice) Were You This Year?

You're a funky spirit that requires freedom to live. Your city girl persona needs adventure, diversity, and great pizza.
Are You Uptown or Downtown?

First day of school after the term break...kind of brain dead. My class started at 10am, and as usual i was late abt 10mins. Keke i broke the record once for MIA for 1 hr...the reason? I thought the class start at 2pm instead of 1pm. Haha...i was lucky to be given a call because i was the presenter for the day (How sotong can i be???) Any way, the 1st class was a consultation so our tutor went through with us our interim report which our grp burned the oil yesterday to do...lol the remarks are not bad (Relief!). Yet after stepping out of the room, everyone starts to STONE...we got nothing much out of our data analysis in the lab. All we can think of? LUNCH! Keke that is the most punctual alarm in the world! Ha...so we abandoned the lab for the canteen.
At 1pm i have my second class, TM Development. We listened to a list of presentations...grading and Q&A. Huh...nothing special, but very good issues being discussed. Ms Ong clarify the errors and points for our project...more rooms for improvement (Definitely!)
Our HT Seminar lecture is cancelled today...hmm so i am free for the day. Then i head for my favourite place, the library. I found a book that would be useful to my article writing...but i realised i couldn't borrow it (Sob*) Arr...i already have 7 books in my record and that is the max. So disappointing...what a 2006!

2006-01-01T12:37:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves yesterday. As for me, i didn't go for count down or anything lidat...it was raining. No rainy days for me, but the fresh air and cool breeze are what i look forward to after a down pour...so awaking!
I spend my day playing with my sisters at home, and editing my essays. Haiz...i don't like third yr studies, too much projects with too little time. My whole life for this semester is revolving around books and more books!
I was watching the count down at Harbour Front on Tv. I especially like Fann Wong singing, so angelic. Hmm then this morning the Tv was showing the New Year celebration in USA. They organised something like our Chingay but it was held in the day...looks weird and not so glamorous or beautiful like ours, which has alot of lightings and music.
Oh...did i mention television again?...Gosh i have to do a check on myself already. I am getting addicted to the Tv screen...

2005-12-30T13:50:00.000+08:00

Now in the school lab...printing those essays and watever documents. Haiz...so sian! I was supposed to meet my group mates to discuss our Consultancy project, but it was call-off last minute. Then i was already in school...
Aniway i rather not do those statistically confusing analysis...so not making any sense, not to say come out with good solutions to problems. Yo tomorrow New Year Eve! Tat means i can stay home and not get nag by my daddy for not being in school or doing my work (Yes!)
My sis just bought a new game...Taboo. Quite a fun and entertaining game. You have to make the other person guess the word without saying related keywords. that's the difficult part because we can't use expressions and sound. Overall, it is a very stimulating game. Not bad to create family bond.
Yippi!!! My sis working half day today...so i better go home early and disturb her. Yoo Bye!

2005-12-28T23:03:00.000+08:00

This morning was giving out surveys at ChinaTown People's Park. Hmm...doing for the school project and the result is disasterous! People there mostly are uncles and aunties who do not read English. However, they are really nice to fill them for me while i explain the content. Yet good samaritans are hard to find, there are many who rejected too. We have to resort to asking young salesperson to fill them for us...how pathetic!!!
I also found out that i was caught red-handed in Club MoMo by my school mates. There goes my good gal impression. LOL...but i do draw a line between school and fun, so i guess i'm still very much a "gal-next-door" and "sweetie pie" to my friends and my dad.
Oh ya happened to switch on my television, and saw this "Super Idol" program. They are eliminating contestants based on public voting. Although i never "chased" the program but i feel that this "Leo" has the look and appeared humble plus friendly. The one i dislike "Lincoln," he protrayed an arrogant and too confident outlook. Hmm...he is cute i won't deny, and he got in later as well. Keke no further comments, i still support "Leo". Yea!!!

2005-12-25T22:34:00.000+08:00

Finally back in my lovely small house! Haa...a really tiring day because of the lack of sleep. Keke i beg Angelia and Patricia must be feeling the same. We stayed up yesterday until 7.00am watching a comedy/romantic Korean drama. Hmm...today we woke up at 12.00pm to have lunch and continue our show again, this time with Huiling, Grilly and Pak Ha...i hope i spelled correctly(>.<) Although we did nothing much, but we shared a whole lot of conversation, laughter and understanding. Arr...will miss them very muchie!!!
Hee i was most surprised by my sisters at home. My 2nd elder sis bought mi a present! Really generous coz we dun practise gift exchanging at home...so tat was so SWEET! Moreover, that was the 1st Xmas from her recent 1st job's salary!...means far greater meaning to mi (",)
YoO i hope when i start working after my graduation, i will be able to give sumthing special to my family members too! Keke best if i can bring all of them on a trip overseas. Our family is so big with altogether 7 people which makes a family tour almost impossible...but i believed this can be done. Often i complained why i have so many siblings in my house...have to buy so mani presents when their birthday comes; when i go overseas and sharing most of my "precious" things. However, come to think about it, what would life be without them? Hee give & take...my sisters went through similar situation as mi! To say i rather "Xiao Qi" bah...hahaha i can laugh about it now.
All right enough of my thoughts...Good Nite!!!

MeRRy cHriStmaS!!!
Christmas Eve...this afternood was raining all the while, oh wat a day! But the counting down with Angelia, Patricia and Huiling was exciting and fun. We went to club momo, the music and atmosphere there was amazing. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time...with all the crowds, i guess one won't feel lonely at all. The dance started at 11.30pm...we joined in till about 1.30am before unwillingly leaving the site.
Hmm...not forgeting the log cake we consumed right after returning Angelia's house at around 2.00am, Yummy Yummy!
This is definitely a memorable day for mi, a whole new experience with a group of secondary school mates! YoO wish everyone has a great day too.
