After eons since my last post i finally posted again. Attended engin camp 07 last week, i can't really say how good it was because i never really experience te entire thing, but i can say that the camp comm are very fun to be with. The endless bridges we had and the jokes and gossips we had. All the dunking and zi high got us reprimanded by the engin club management comm , but seriously we couldn't be bothered..haha. I guess we had lots of fun expanding our haha cards, dunking, flouring, muah cheeing, tau poking each other. At the start of the planning stages, the entire comm was split into 3 different groups, namely the esp ppl, me ameet and another freshie and the others. The esp ppl apparently is unable to understand the jokes that was cracked by me and ameet initially and thus sort of dislike us. As more dry runs are held and as the camp draw closer, i suppose the ice melted between us and them maybe because of ameet chasing after them with a cane? haha.. through the camp comm i made more frens esp those ppl frm the esp side, somehow one way or another we managed to somehow tuned to each other's frequency and gelled so well that that we ignored the other councillors and freshies..haha..
I can't say that the camp comm is the best there is , but in my opinion , by far i tink it is the most cooperative and willing to help each other one. You see people volunteering to help other dept even when it does not concern them, getting volunteers in this comm is as easy a piece of cake. You hear no moanings or grouses when someone ask another to do something, i suppose that to me is the best comm so far bah.

Had a busy week. Started last sunday whereby i stayed in for my medical studies which started on monday(which is literally a series of blood drawing) , attended 2 dry runs , had fun , sunburnt and a shock. For the third time since i entered NUS, someone from my primary school recognize me but i don't remember him. Made me start wondering did i do something big when i was in primary school.
Today, went out with hb and jj to watch pirates in the evening. These nv fail to surprise me once again by falling asleep in the cinema halfway through the cinema, all that i can say is thanks goodness they nv snore or worse sleepwalk. Anyway throughout the evening was watching the interaction between my 2 companions, juz got one though in my mind,"hmmm...is it my imagination?"
Anyway, i realised that recently i hv becoming more and more less bothered about other ppls' stuff... and realised that i m also more and more ignored(somehow wat i say no longer attract any attn, ie i can be interrupted very often when i m talking halfway). I feel that being less bothered about others sort of made my life less stressful. In the past, i tend to be very concern of other ppl, so much so that some ppl think that i m very busybody , and also feels that at times i m like being very tyrantlike. At times i tend to wonder why m i doing that since my concern at times is juz not appreciated.This kind of unappreciated feeling is just not nice. Think i sort of enlightened bah.. why bother about other ppl when ppl dun even bother. As for my sort of loss of my "talking ability", i wonder did i lose it or maybe i dun even have it to start off... I think i will juz remain quiet for the time being and let people have the silence that they hav been yearning for i suppose.

In short, Less bothering, Less trouble. Why put urself into such trouble?

Went ubin yesterday, had fun. Took many pictures but too bad cannot upload here cos i simply hav no idea how to. Funny thing is that it was only a simple bicycle riding expedition yet it brought quite a lot of fun to me. I suppose its those carefree without worries mind for that short period of time that is the fun.. In this crazy world where everyone is rushing like mad, who would really take time off to stop and smell the flowers around ?
Also had my results yesterday, had an improvement , dunno whether to feel sad or relieved.. i sort of expected the results but have yet to come to terms with it. I do feel that this time round the results gave me this glimmer of hope that made me feel like i can do better and make my goal seemed achieveable. At the end of the day i suppose i can only say that i need tonnes of luck to achieve that.
Going medical studies tonight hopefully i wun be bored to death doing nth but figuring out how air looked like.

Celebrated my cousin's 21st birthday today. Met up with my other cousins... realised how time flies, it was like yesterday that i celebrated my single digit birthday with a huge cake(similar to the one my cousin had for her 21st birthday), or when we were all young and childish set up our own silly "exiciting eight" club and hold 'meetings' in the balcony and our silly passwords, or when we are all admiring cars and now some even own their own cars. Those were the days when we are all still carefree and innocent and worryfree. Now everything is different, people are still the same but thinking is totally different already. I suppose we had our happy phase and its time to move on. Looking back, still cherish those days were everything seemed so simple. I suppose now can only once in awhile dwell in those happy memories and laugh over them in meals and the rest of the time prepare myself for my entry to the rat race...

Went to minds cafe earlier on with my army mates, which includes current working class and students like myself. Jolt back lots of memories, had a fun time playing taboo all the guessing and the funny answers and clues given. Sort of miss those army days. Also realised that our OC isn't really that bad since he only say he will charge us but never really charge us whereas other OCs do wat they say..so can be considered really heng..haha
Looking at my army mates faces, remind me that i will also be joining in the silly rat race in 2 yrs time.. wonder after tat will we still hv time to meet out and act childish and play games like taboo and all the screaming and bitching .. will we still keep in contact?

Almost one week since i am done with my last paper... holidays are finally here. Somehow the feeling i had for the hols during the exam period and now is quite different. during the exam period the hols seemed like some light at the end of the tunnel , some motivation, but funny how the feeling ended with the exams. i suppose this is the way of life. when u achieve something that u hv been working for and towards to , there is period whereby u suddenly go aimless and goaless in life.. everything just seemed so boring... why?

for this hols i took on a more proactive role i suppose... packed my hols wif lots of activity, which includes 2 camps, multiple dry runs, clinical studies, and 2 more different ccas. hopefully i will be more occupied this time round and let m mind wander too much... currently i m suffering from a terrible sunburnt and feel like some snake shedding skin.....sian...forgot to bring sunblock on sat now end up all red...looking like some cooked lobster..haiz...

Got bored of memorizing for part tech..taking a breather here... for the past few days and from what i foresee on 26th may i will go throught the 5 stages of grief..
Five Stages Of Grief
Denial and Isolation.At first, we tend to deny the loss has taken place, and may withdraw from our usual social contacts. This stage may last a few moments, or longer.

Anger.The grieving person may then be furious at the person who inflicted the hurt (even if she's dead), or at the world, for letting it happen. He may be angry with himself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it.

Bargaining.Now the grieving person may make bargains with God, asking, "If I do this, will you take away the loss?"

Depression.The person feels numb, although anger and sadness may remain underneath.

Acceptance.This is when the anger, sadness and mourning have tapered off. The person simply accepts the reality of the loss.

one word sums everything up...HAIZ

I think i should just slap myself... Really must be careful for what you wish for...haha..my last post i read wat a boring day it is..then today all the exciting stuff happens...First and foremost, i lost my hp or rather someone took it(dammit!!), found a jacket, placed my textbook in school. I tink i m still considered lucky lah.. too much of a conincidence that i found a jacket below the table i lost my phone.. maybe the person who took my phone left me that jacket as a barter trade(or rather i prefer to believe in this)..haha .. well at least its not like i lost my phone and got nth back...So it means that people are not all evil lah.. although take my things still giv me back soemthing in return.. so i suppose thats not as bad rite? i mean it could be he took and nv leave anything behind or its my laptop thats gone wif the wind... of cos the person who took my hp is not the jacket's owner.. well only thing i can say is the person who owned the jacket is at a losing end bah..haha (simply evil of me no wonder hp got stolen..haha) i mean the one who stole my hp got the phone, i got the jacket and the one who lost the jacket is juz filled with unluckiness..haha (SORRY!)
Maybe losing the phone is a blessing in disguise..haha .. at least i noe that people around me still cared for me..haha .. so life is still all hopeful.. and although i m angry wif the person who took my phone but then hey life still goes on.. getting angry with the person is not going to let me find back the phone..haha ..so why bother?..

Life is just so boring isn't it... nth exciting happened today, no latest gossip to update.. this is seriously bad for sagittarius like me, cos i tend to look for new things and look for excitement and the latest gossips, hate to be bored... but all this dullness coupled with the approaching exams is seriously not helping and killing me ...currently i only feel stress and stupidity and more stress and stupidity... currently only got one word in my mind ...HOW????

Went tomb sweeping/washing/painting/pruning on friday(aka good friday) meet up with my relatives. Heard a joke there, about a man who bought a Luo Han Fish,which costed a few thousands, and brought it home. After which he set off to buy a fish tank to contain the fish. When he reached home, dinner is served. While he was eating the dinner , he asked his wife, what fish are we eating? The wife just replied, the one you brought home today.
Moral of the story, we are practical people, ornamental fish is not as useful as cooked fish.

At the graveyard, surprisingly it wasn't as crowded as past years, the traffic flow is not as bad. Possible reasons, a) Good Friday, so chirstians will not go bah(but this is one of the least contributing factor) b) Its published on the newspaper that there is going to be a crowd( But knowing the Singaporeans attitude, i doubt this is one of the reasons that would deter people from going. I think we are those that love to go for those people squeeze people situations.) c) its Guan Ying Dan (aka The Goddess of Mercy's Birthday..most prob since those visiting the chinese cemetry should be the taoists or buddhist, and i learnt that those who prayed the goddess of mercy will not pray to the deceased on the same day so i tink most likely this could be the reason)
As usual the highlight of the tomb sweeping is the getting of 4 d numbers. Surprisingly my grandfather and grandmother gave similar numbers with only one number different ..haha.. sort of shocked when aunties when the first 3 numbers that they got from my grandmother is the same as the same 3 numbers given by my grandfather but in a different order..haha.
Talking about 4d some people may say that we are just compulsive gamblers..haha.. but i tink differently , rather i would say that is more of us being hopeful. Buy 4d is more like buying hope, not really buying it just for the money since we usually dun bet heavily usually is just less than 10 bucks and usually ibet..

Good Friday 6 April 2007(G)

Went to school to (of all things) play mahjong. first round won a bit second round lose it back..haha so not that bad lah.. hb kena saboed by paul to TRY a fisherman's friend.. haha after that according to hb i tink her throat is dying ... apparently fisherman and hb simply juz dun mix. Throughout the mahjong session nothing exciting really happened other than paul and his attempts to ensure that i will zi moso that i can win bigger than expected, me and my 2 tai life(how depresing rite???) , jj who won the max (but in the end overall(1st round + 2nd round) still lose =p[simply evil of me] , hb who complained that i just dun feed looked exceptionally happier during the 2nd round when she is not sitting after me(wonder why), our encounter with some dunno who after the 1st round and he asked paul what is he doing, and paul can giv the most curry puff like ans of "Closing the door" apparently i think the person can see that paul..haha...

I tried to reach home b4 1030 to watch the results of american idol but apparently i failed reached home at 1045!!!!! dammit. last night had a can be considered "formal" talk with someone over some matters.. can't really say something is resolved but i do feel much better after that(well, share burdens == half the weight ) I also realised that sometimes i do only look at things from my own point of view and nv realise that actually everyone else also faced with the similar problems .. well life goes on...

2007-04-04T21:15:00.000+08:00

Compared to the tsunami of tests and assignments last week this week is considered boring. So had ample time to think of some matters that has been troubling me. Can just be summarized by one question, Should i just let go of my ego and take the first step back? A simple model answer would naturally be , Duh, of cos lah... But practically, its not as easy as it seems. Ego this 3 letter word people would say is worthless. Somehow ego is also the one of the few things in this world that managed to prove that worthless things sometimes do have its charms. Recently something happened, and i think should i back off first naturally it might turn for the better, but then again why should i? Lets face it lah i m just exceptionally unreasonable, people who know me should know this very well and might even experience it b4..haha.. for that i apologise first.. I am as unreasonable as (warning... insults follow..haha.. just a joke though don't take it to heart please..haha)

Junjie is honest and helpful(though sometimes white lies are invented for a reason and u are juz tooo helpful at times that u are becoming a vege head lah....)

Hongbee is hardworking ( though sometimes she work too hard to achieve goals like 43... please lah thats like wat we happily call in PDC as physically unrealizable.. for that u need more than magic dust, u need liposuction lah...so please be satisfied with wat u have.. if u need help in getting rid of that absurd idea just surf some websites showing Ethopia.. u will get the idea)

Paul is...erm...wanted to say innocent, angelic and some liek that, than i though of his 2 theorems namely the L theorem and stress balls... than ..ya..maybe not...so i think and think.. the most suitable one would be maybe he just give off some "aura" like he mentioned himself... not really what u can call X factor..more of P factor i suppose...haha

Ming Keong is confident about himself(sometimes hor have confidence in others also wun hurt esp lecturers and textbook [",])

Adec and his infectious humour and insight( but can be less insightful on stuff thats more "colourful" ..=p)

Jeff who is ever so staunch(though it may go against your commandmant of (Exodus 20:2-17 you shall have no other gods before me.)[seriously dunno how to quote this] but other religions also exist lah.. give and take a little)

In short, i am just totally made up of unreasonable genes, if u take me to go and boil i think u can get the bp of unreasonable(aka i m pure unreasonable).

Went school today, feeling stupid as usual, achieved nth but aged, did nth but breathed and consumed more calories than i can possibly burn off, in short a wasted day. As i get closer and closer to the exam dates, i m feeling more and more stressed which manifest in the form of pimples!!!!! yucks.. Just learnt something new today, there is no such thing as fear of picture taking, was looking up the LONG list of phobias and their meanings and realised that there isn't any that is for photo taking. Got a lot of funny phobias like, the few ultimate ones,

Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.(if guy then gone with the wind liaoz)

and also the opposite phobias
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666
versus
Hierophobia- Fear of priests or sacred things

and for the sadistic types
Hedonophobia- Fear of feeling pleasure.

and also
Nomatophobia- Fear of names. (for this i tink the person will just call the another person OEI)

Anyway, the reason why i am looking for the phobia of picture taking is because hong bee and paul(the smarties) are like so camera shy lah...

Just some observations i made on my way home today...

Firstly, somehow i dunno why those elderly that i see today, the way they flag a bus is quite cute. Instead of the usual raising your hand to 90 degrees , they raised their hand to 150 degrees, its like saying hi to the bus driver rather than flagging the bus lah.. At times i am quite tempted to "hi" back when i m on the bus seeing them do that through the window.. haha

Secondly, remember the the GP(general paper) essays we use to write during our jc days? One question they can ask is, "What is happiness?". Today i saw the defination of happiness lah.. can be expressed in a simple mathematical equation:

Man on bike standing in front of Pool of water + Moving Bus = Happiness

I saw this man on a bicycle waiting for the traffic light to change. In front of him is this big pool of water. My bus happily speed pass, i saw this tsunami of the same height as the man and bicycle saying hi and totally embracing that man lah.. thats like simply happiness...
For this case it can be upgraded to simply divine by just adding one more word, " Muddy" in front of the the word water.

Lastly, i went for a haircut before going home. Realised 2 things. One, how to know if your hair is long, if no matter how the barber cut and cut and u see no difference to your hair.. Its long period. Two, NEVER attempt to blow any stray strands of hair above your lip. I did that and end up blowing it into my nose.. nearly choked to death lah... dammit ..

Thats all for my boring day today...

Your Type is ESFP
Extraverted 67%
Sensing 25%
Feeling 25%
Perceiving 33%

Qualitative analysis of your type formula You are:
distinctively expressed extravert
moderately expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
moderately expressed perceiving personality

The description of people like me can be seen here
http://keirsey.com/personality/spef.html
http://typelogic.com/esfp.html

Just a little something i take frm the webby

Demonstrating or performing is putting on a show to entertain others, and Performers, whether on the job, with friends, or in their families, are the natural performers among the types, people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Playful and fun-loving, the Performer' primary social interest lies in stimulating those around them, arousing their senses and their pleasureful emotions-charming them, in a sense, to cast off their concerns and "lighten up." Representing about ten per cent of the general population, Performers radiate warmth and optimism, and are able to lift others' spirits with their contagious laughter and their irrepressible joy of living.
ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence.
Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question.

How true is this? be the judge...

P.S.
Ok fine... I admit i simply ENJOY toking... my mouth can hardly keep shut... Happy?

Courtesy of Weili:
Your view on yourself:You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on educationEducation is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

So what do you think? Give me some comments on how true you think this describes me...haha juz msg me on msn..haha

Saturday, sleepy day, went school to mug, not bad read through 2 chapters. Met up with hb and paul, good people to study PDC with since they are the clever ones(unlike me....haiz) Tml going back to chiong... Juz heard frm hb that today another incident happened that added to her traumatizing saga.. haha.. Note to hb, next time please be more specific when you wish(haha)...
Anyway was thinking on my way home and realised that i m quite a sick person..haha.. i derive great pleasure from people's suffering..mainly strangers(esp those that i wun meet again). I suppose thats why i LOVEEEEEE to complain..haha.. was actually planning to write another complain letter abt nussu, then after thinking thru, i tink in the end i will only achieve making people mad(which somehow makes me happy) and nothing else. Think i hav too much bad karma coming after me, time to stop on such stuff and time to ji de(AKA do more gd deeds) , and less of those sun ren bu li ji(AKA harm people without benefitting) . Its a bit strange how i can really irritate people or rather get ppl frustrated. I think maybe its just the idea of putting myself into people's shoes and consider wat kind of acts i do would really piss the person off. Frens wise , dun worry lah, i treat u all differently, actually i tink i m quite a possesive person, so most prob i wun do such things to u all lah, cos i also dun wan u all to do likewise to me(thats why i only do to strangers..since they can do anything to me...ok i admit i m evil...) .. thats why i am one who hates frens who betray my trust and stuff like that. to put it simply, i am a weird person, if u noe me i juz believe that don't do unto others what u don't want others to do unto u... for strangers, simply because i dunno them, naturally even if they scold me i wouldn;t take it to heart cos they dun affect me, as compared to frens. thats because i being more possessive so naturally will care more, well the more u care the more affected u become i suppose... in a nutshell i m juz weird...hahaha=P

Been 2 months since i had last written, formatted comp lost the website address. For the past 2 months, much has happened namely CNY and mid term hols and been through lots of lab and 4 excruciating viva. So far i passed all the tests although its only by a slight margin, but then better than nothing i suppose. Currently hoping for a miracle to happen !!! Life has been like the sea, lots of waves and disturbance but at the end of the day, it will still revert back to its original. Has been thinking, about life and somehow sea came into the picture. Like sea, life is full of ups and downs(waves and more waves for the sea) . In sea, waves(the bigger ones lah) are usually a result of some HUGE boat/ship/sampan? passing by and thus generating it. Likewise, in life all this disturbances are usually generated by some external stuff, can be human or results. this waves causes disturbances to your life, and some could even send u crashing onto the rocks. However, at the end of the day, after the crash you still flow back into the big big sea and drag along some sand/rock wif you and even weather the rocks.I suppose those can be considered as experience bah. The disturbance no matter how big they are(u can think ships / problem) at the end of the day these external problems will be settled in time. Note the word external. Now i talk about internal, in terms of sea, internal problem is like tsunami when the earth beneath the sea shake literally , causing those HUGE waves that result in big big problems that cannot be fixed. In a nutshell, no one can really hurt us except ourselves, No?

Had a lot of fun today!! Went for ZUSAMMEN this morning. Did not have much expectation for it cos to put it simply i am a sports retard so i just went and treat it like an OG outing.But apparently life had another idea in mind actually. It started off with me meeting up with my freshies and joanne in the morning and went to the sports area. A brief explaination about Zusammen, its can actually be considered as a games day for chemical engineers of all different years. What happened today is there are 10 teams and we will pit against each other in Street soccer, Captain's Ball , Floorball and lastly frisbee. My team consisted of 3 girls (Tsu Yu, Myra and Joanne) and 6 guys(Benjamin, Yiwen, Whye Tuck, Weide, Tsu Yu's bf[forgot to get the name , my bad] and urs truly me). Our team managed to win the THIRD!!!! Honours to the freshies. We are not really the most skilled or the best(since all our games is only win narrowly) , we might be lucky but i m sure that we are the most encouraging i suppose(to me that is) . The girls may not be very althletic but they sure put in all their effort in every game. The guys (except me that is.haha) they are just great. I think for my case i m just lucky and i think i m just a big meat shield..heee... Cos apparently i happen to be at the right place at right time and managed to perform some "good" defence..haha Funnest thing is in our last game and once again i chose to be defender (since i think thats the most slack position..haha) got once i saw the ball coming and 2 opponents chasing after it, i tried to kick it back ... it went under my leg...=<... but then apparently the opponents thought i managed to kick it back and turn around and the ball went to the goal keeper to collect.. and my teammates tot i was good in carrying out that bluff..haha ..Thats all unplanned ..haha... and since my legs are like detached frm my body so it juz means tat i die in soccer.. so throughout the whole game i was using my other parts of the body to defend lah.. and i realised tat its good to be fat lah..haha the ball came to me at high speed hit me and got reflected back and i dont feel the pain..haha happened many times..haha in the end ppl say i gd defender.. i tink its juz PURE LUCK that i m at the correct place at the correct time..haha.. In the end our team only lost one and draw one and won the other 6 games to obtain a total score of 13 losing to the winning team by one point... Good Job VENTO! Overall its a fun and exciting day although i managed to secure another 3 wounds on myself...hahah.. I think in the entire day i was just busy throwing myself onto others literally.. i m like snorelax in pokemon and keep using body slam. my Apologies to yee ling for first smashing into u in the first round of captain's ball, gwen for crashing into u in the same game, peng siang for squashing u into the white board in the frisbee game and tsu yu to piling onto u in the 2nd frisbee game... i think i jus hav a niche for throwing my weight around..haha
Overall gd day!

Went to collect newspapers and OLD & weird stuff which includes funny things like baby chair to 10001 toys..Quite an interesting experience.. exciting things started from morning when we went to teck whye central for breakfast and GuiDeng's van got blocked by the MERC lah.. than we did or rather he did the most natural thing of horning..i mean tats common sense lah.. we couldn't possibly go round finding ppl and ask," By any chance do u own a (insert vulgarity) black merz?" ..well apparently some pigs are still in their lala land and one of them showed their appreciation for waking them up wif an egg.. well lucky i was quite a distance away if not i might juz kena lor...

After which we started work and collected newspapers and beds, computers, washing machine and a lot of funny stuff..haha.. quite a fun experience .. from wat i heard at the end of the day we earned 900 bucks .. not bad for one day but still hv to work hard i suppose.

Sick , sick, sick... I am down with the FLU!!! Nasal fluid is just flowing out of me via my nose, body temperature is still trying its best to beat the all time high record, my voice sounds funny and talking is a chore for me now... Just feel terrible!!!! To top it up, had a sort of heated argument recently, over smth thats apparently quite insignificant to me seriously. Wonder what really drove me to get upset over it..haha...am i just too sick that lost my control? Or is there something else.. Just realised that i m one who cannot hate anyone, and as a result, i hate everything else thats related to the person. As its said, hatred is nothing but the coward's revenge for being intimidated, i must agree that i m the coward this time round i suppose, intimidated by a loss of something? haha.. i wonder... Anyway, never knew i hav caring friends like mk until recently. Special thanks to mk , for being so nice as to ask me to stay home and rest and will lend me his notes to copy the next day when i m sick, even though he is also sick. Thanks man! Much appreciated! A blessing in disguise i suppose, found a true fren frm some shitty illness.

I just realised that it takes good memory to become a bus driver lah. A few days ago, i was on board a bus to go home. Was trying my very best to doze off to no avail. End up staring out into the dark road. Then suddenly the bus stopped at a bus stop. From what i see there is noone at the bus stop and the bus stopping sign is like not on. Was still in a wondering mode, when the bus driver walked out of his seat. Then i thought, " Dammit.. of all time the (insert profanity) bus have to break down now ..what the (insert vulgarity) (another vulgarity) . Lucky i have bus concession if not i think i will just shred the bus driver alive." But to my surprise instead of walkin out of the bus by the front door , the bus driver walked all the way to the back and confronted a sleepy passenger. I suppose waking up to an angry bus driver isn't the most exciting thing in this world. Factor in the fact that you are in lala land with your girlfriend who happens to be next to u. Well, the stunned look on that person's face is priceless lah. Then the bus driver started saying smth, from what i gather apparently the guy paid only 1.20 and i tink he sat pass the amount or something like that. I am quite shock with the memory of the bus driver lah.. what did that guy do when he board the bus lah? he slapped the bus driver as he paid his fare ah?or maybe he attempted to practice his bargaining skills with the bus driver ?
In the end, apparently i tink the sleepy guy won, cos the bus driver walked back to his throne with a can't say is happy face. Never knew that bus drivers have so good memory lah..

Anyway was talking to some people with regards on whats their take on relationships. Than after talking to them i come to asking-for-a-tight-slap-conclusion.The conclusion is , everyone is different. It may seem like a cliche to many but i personally feel that not many can really apply it. As everyone know that there is no two same person in the world , and scienctifically its proven that genetically identical twins are different also. So i shall not touch on that. Rather i would like to say its because that everyone is different , it will be easy to manage a relationship if u cannot afford to accept your other half's faults and habits, and expect to change for you. Don't use urself as a benchmark to gauge your other half, and expect that your other half to be like you and understand you always. We are all different. I remember reading it somewhere that its because we are different , it makes the relationship a very challenging thing in life. Its like chemistry i suppose, because we are all different reagents and mixing each of reagent with another we get a different product. We never know what we get until we try it. Some people tend to be more resistive even in a relationship, however, like in chemistry, if u add a little reagent you might get a different product from adding a lot. In a relationship, adding reagents is liken investing in a relationship, if you are only willing to invest a little you might not see the result you expect. A very nice example would be the very common NaOH addition to test for cations, about how the result is like when you add a little and when you add excess. Of course i also understand that sometimes add a little is enough to see a visible effect. Like the ever blasting caesium with water. I suppose thats why people use the word chemistry to describe relationship. haha...all the above is wat i think ...any comments please do feedback to me..haha

Yes jj..its long enuff.. Anyway a simple comment to ur post, i suppose at the end of the day its not really making a scapegoat out of someone, but rather, it all stems from the person trusting the other guy well enough to help him. If the other guy pushes the blame to this guy when trouble occurs, than only thing that can be said is the person got no one to blame but himself for being so trustful. It may sound a bit harsh but this is the said reality of life. The guy will have to pay for a lesson than. Like what my father always says, "You can either learn it the hard way or the easy way."(naturally he will use it when he is losing to an argument with me but thats besides the point) In the case, that guy is learning via the hard way. Life itself is a teacher , which teaches us important lessons, like in school there are some lessons that you will not like and may even hard, its the same for life i suppose. Responsibility is not something u just say when everything is fine, rather its what u do when something really happen. If that guy has to shoulder all the blame, in the view of optimist , he will know who are his true friends i suppose, a friend in need is a friend indeed. As for you, helping is no doubt good, but in my honest opinion , why should you embroiled yourself into this trouble. Are you sure you are considered helping him? I wld feel that u will be making a recipe for a big disaster for yourself. In future should a similar thing happen again, people will expect you to help, and then u will just put yourself nicely into a wonderful mess. Rules are set for a reason and that reason is not be bent. The person should already be of mature age, and should be able to take up the responsibility be it his fault or not. Life is like that, even in adult phase.

That aside, nth much happened to me as compared to jj, my life is duller. Managed to skip a massive jam on friday by skipping a lecture at some god forsake hour, came up with one of the stations questions to kill the incoming freshies. Ameet begins to think that i m innately sadistic for all the weird ideas i have. haha... in all sense life still goes on as per normal. i still get caught in jam in the morning regardless of wat bus i took. Lectures still as boring. Lecturers still as incomprehensible. I am still sadly single.I am still ugly and fat. and i am still waiting for singapore pools to wake up their idea and gimme the millions that i so deserve. Tutorials still look equally daunting and i am still equally clueless about wats going on. hatred still continues to burn in me even though its a few months since its last ignited. Anger comes and go, sorrow no longer hold on to me, happiness is ard somewhere but being so elusive i hv yet to find it. in the end i suppose, in this sad sad world there is only one person who can make us happy or sad or angry and that would be ourselves. We control our emotions, we choose whether we let people make us angry or sad. Thats why when u are sad just will urself to be happy, not easy but not impossible also .

In a nutshell, "There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will." .. Ciaoz

Responsibilities(J)

2007-01-12T18:32:00.000+08:00

Responsibilities are part of our life.
We all take up a certain amount of responsibilities
some more, some less...
When something happens, we might be made the scapegoat to take on full responsibilities for some bad incident.
i agree we shld ans for our faults but then, wat if it happened while trying to help ppl.
it will be realli unfair to put the blame on the person but then we can't blame the ppl for asking him to help, coz eventually he was the one whu agreed to helping.
no, i am not involved in such incidents but i am seeing quite a number of it.
it gives mi a helpless feeling... being indirectly involved in the incident, i cannot ask the ppl involved to share the responsibilities. And if i step in, there will be a lot repercussions that will follow.
If the same things that happen to mi, i will of coz hope that someone will help mi...
but will the help be then expected for the next guy...
Being responsible for our own actions will force us to think and plan our moves...
but once u expect ppl to help share responsibilities, u might just be that less careful going abt doing things and there is a chance of bad incidents happening.
Some ppl may even insist i should step in to help, making things easier this time and state my rules that i will not step in again. Seriously, I cannot make decisions on my own as well and then there are really a lot irritating adminstrative problems. Well, i hope that everything will turn out fine eventually.. I can only hope so...
feeling realli helpless that even my sister can sense that i am troubled....
Maybe all this things are insignificant to worry abt, coz i am not involved. But i always like to see things frm other ppl's pt of view and it is hard not to get involve also... my bad pt...

oh well, maybe a miracle will happen tml... haha...

After my third day of bus riding, i can only conclude that bus takes a lot of time and the degree of uncertainty is so much higher lah.. Yesterday i took the same bus i reached school at around 9.40am...today i took the same bus and reached school at 9.20am. Bus is no doubt cheaper though.. i suppose thats whats known as paying for the "premium" when you take train i suppose. Today something gross happened on the bus on my way home. Someone suddenly just vomited some liquid out at the exit door. Liquid= watery substances .. think he live on water ah? Reminds me of the merlion lah... And to think he was sitting next to me earlier on.. i think the sight of me make him sick..haha..don't want to imagine wat will happen if he started his merlion performance when he is sitted next to me.. i tink in a blink of the eye i would be at the back of the bus(considering that i m sitted right at the front of the bus) Than i think one of the most contagious think is not yawn but vomit lah. Dunno wat is wrong wif me i just sit and stare at him slowly regurgitating all the fluid out .. I think i m siao lah... watching in disgust but continue watching ..somehow i tink its weird that some one only vomit some liquid out w/o food... after that i feel like puking also..haha got sick from all the watching...

That aside.. had attended quite a few lectures and realised that some lecturers are not bad .. some are just too powerful for my level.. I have this lecturer who speaks in such a strong accent that i think should i listen to his webcast in speed X1.5 it will be in tamil instead of english.I think i cannot agree more to the uncyclopedia webby with their statement about NUS lectures "Lectures are conducted in a language that is described as incomprehensible at worst and sleep-inducing at best." Well still got a few more modules to experience hopefully it will turn out well...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!*Cross fingers*

School aside, just watched finish the entire series of 微笑pasta.. very nice show i must say its very nice .. the show teaches u abt the simplicity about life and how ignorance is really a bliss. I suppose when you trust everyone, life would be simpler and better, the show also showed the power of family of how a family that really believes in you can help you achieved what u never know u can achieve. Still remember something that was said in the show by the female lead,about why is yesterday not today, tml not today but today is today.. at times when u are worried about something like a performance that you will be performing or an examination do you also ever have this feeling?haha. Believe in yourself is what the entire show is trying to say i suppose. To quote from the show " 只要笑一笑,没有什么事情過不了".So smile and be happy!

To conclude, saw this pharse earlier on today. [Insert religion] is like a good flouride toothpaste. You can look at it and examine it. But it does not prevent cavities as long as you don't apply it.

First day of school!!! Finally school started. Woke up exceptionally early today so that i can try out how long it will take me to travel by bus to school in my aim in saving $$$$$$$$ by only buying bus concession. But to my greatest dismay , it did not really turned out as well as i thought it would. In a nutshell, i am suddenly grateful to the implementation of COE. I never knew there is so many cars in singapore, and also never knew that so many cars love to clog up the road at the same time lah. The bus that i am onboard, literally stopped at EVERY stop lah... Either the bus driver had an agenda against me or the other passengers are just trying their very best to make sure that they take an eternity of my time lor. And every time the bus turn into the bus stop , it takes like 10000 eons to get out of it, thanks to the zillions of car that happens to be on the road at the same time. Ok maybe i am a little exaggerating not 10000 eons but 10000 eons minus one day... Seriously hor, if there is no COE, i think i walk to school would be even faster than the bus lah.. i can picture the bus just stuck there FOREVER.. Its like with COE the bus is like stopping every half minute or less.. Its as though the bus driver is trying to strike up a conversation with every driver on the road lah....Thats it, i am so trying another bus route tml...

Luckily my trip back was smoother than tofu i must say, when i reach the school bus stop , 151 came, and just as i alighted from 151 , 852 came , and when i reach yishun interchange 804 also came.. wat more can i ask for except less passengers boarding/alighting, less red lights, less traffic ONLY not too much rite?

Bus and traffic aside, on saturday went out for dinner with Jeff and marilyn at suntec, back to the place affectionately known as "The herbal chicken shop". Jeff was talking about his trip to taiwan and he said something about the luckiest number in chinese is actually not 8 but 13 and 9 and the unluckiest number is 10. And how the number of storkes in your chinese name affects ur luck somehow. Than i go count the number of storkes in my chinese name which adds up to 4+6 = 10 = unlucky=cursed=chiuz!!!!! well to console myself i suppose my name itself is lucky so it can counter balance it..haha cos one of the word is 吉 which happens to mean prosperity..haha its the same chinese word u can find in hong baos..haha..
Anyway talking about this, i remember one of my fren telling me about zodiac signs all those are merely having the forer effect. To clear your doubt, The Forer effect refers to the tendency of people to rate sets of statements as highly accurate for them personally even though the statements could apply to many people. Do you agree?haha i certainly do but somehow i think i have mastered the highest level of self deceit.. haha...my little hope and glow in this dark and sad world ...=)..

Back from hong kong for a week +++ liaoz, but somehow still can't get jong kong out of my mind. Apparently almost everything in singapore reminds me of a little hong kong.I think maybe because i m a mountain tortoise.. I think the phrase " You will miss something only when you no longer possess it" applies to me in this case. I can still remember the strong feeling i had when i was about to fly off to hong kong. I just suddenly had this feeling of unknown worriness , rather worried about flying off to a foriegn land, worried that i might not make it back , worried about the uncertainty, can't bear to leave singapore. In short lucky no one came and send me off, i might just feel much worse. I think i m just a little toad at the bottom of the well who is worried about leaving the well to explore whats outside , choosing the safety and familiarity of the small constrain space at the bottom of the well. When i reached hong kong, somehow i managed to see glimpses of singapore in almost everything there. Then now i see flashbacks of hong kong nowadays , for everything from train to food.

For the past few days, i went to minds cafe to play some interesting games. Namely niagara, democrazy, employee of the month and pit.. i like democrazy a lot its about voting for different laws. The gameplay of it is quite interesting i must say. At the end i thought i won with the most points, thats until my friend pointed out one law that was in place, " You add the points of the player to your left at the end" and i am sitting next to someone with the 2nd least number of points and in the end the person on my right(aka the person who pointed out that law to me..ARGH!!!!!) won...Quite an interesting game. Employee of the month is also another worth playing game since u do need to take note of what is happening.. i lost terribly in that game, in the only had one point, BUT i m not the lowest..hahahahah... i got one friend who had negative two points.. apparently he is so not a good employee...

I also went to a plant visit at jurong island. To say that the lectures there are boring is just a HUGE understatement lah.. factoring the fact that i had less than 5 hrs of sleep b4 is sure not helpful, and i don't even want to imagine mk and adec who did not even hv a good sleep, but judging their zombie-like behaviour and blatant sleeping when sitting literally under the noses of the lecturers, you can guess.

Anyway before i end my post, would like to talk about a song that i heard and find it very meaningful. The title of the song is 最初的梦想. The first few lines of the song goes like this:

如果骄傲没被现实大海冷能拍下
又怎会懂得要多努力
才走得到远方
如果梦想不曾坠落悬崖
千钧一发
又怎会晓得执着的人
有隐形翅牓
把眼泪装在心上
会开出勇敢的花

To loosely translate to english, it would be
If proudness is not brought down by the cold reality,
Then how would you realise that only with hard work can bring you forward.
If dreams do not "fall off from a cliff",
Then how do you know that those who tightly hold on to their dreams possesses invisble wings at the crucial moment?
Plant the seeds of tears into your heart,
And it will bloom into flowers of courage.

I find it quite motivating and true i suppose. Think i will end my entry with another line from the song.

沮丧时总会明显感到孤独的重量
多渴望懂得的人给些温暖借个肩膀

Which should mean, when you are down , the loneliness that usually comes alongs will weigh you down. How nice it would be to have someone who realises that provide some warmth and a shoulder?

First post of the year!! Back to boring life after i return from hong kong. Nothing interesting happened to me since i am at home most of the time. Last friday went to ECP for night cycling... in the end i lost my butt halfway... the seats of bicycle are seriously not the most comfortable seats around lah... sitting on them for half an hour cycling.. u just slowly feel your butt slowly drawing away from you.. and soon u can no longer feel your butt aka lost your butt... in conclusion i think that the person who invented sofa must have thought of the idea after he participate in some bicycle competition or night cycling.

The past few days i am also trying to readjust my diet. Cos during the period when i m in hong kong, i have been eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating (u get my idea i hope).. one day eat so many meals... cfm grow fatter than fat! Not easy readjusting .. keep getting hungry!! like withdrawal symptoms... lucky i managed to overcome that and readjust back..phew!

Recently, i also went out with my campmates and learnt that a few other campmates are already fathers already!! OMG all of them are just so responsive to the government lah... lookis like hopeless cases like me is time to advertise on newspaper to look for my other half!! If not in no time i will be a lao chu nan liaoz...ARGH!!!

Finally,was reading the comic "Liar Game" and i totally like it lah...Very nice i must say, the writer is quite good in mind games i must say to produce such a book.. the book got a lot of tricks which i myself couldn't think of....maybe because i m getting senile liaoz..Anyway with regards to the the topic on "Liar Game" i think i would to steal a joke from my fren's blog to show the idea of the comic...what may seem obvious may not necessary be.....enjoy..

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and tells the loan officer that she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls-Royce, which is parked in front of the bank. She has the title and everything checks out, so the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

As the blonde leaves with the money, the bank's president and officers enjoy a good laugh at someone using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee moves the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it.

Two weeks later the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

As he hands the keys back to the blonde, the loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and the transaction has worked out very nicely. But we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked your records and found that you are a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The blonde replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Last day of the year 2006. A good time to summarize everything that i have gone through this year. Overall i must say that i had a very good year. Finally made my class know my existence(hee) and also went to hong kong, for the first time in my life , with my campmates and had a memorable time there. All the ups and downs in this year has only made me stronger than i can ever be. Joined a few camps this year, no regrets in them, had more fun than i had expected. All in all i just hope that the coming year would either be better or the same as this year.

Anyway that aside, the main bulk of my this post should be about my trip to hong kong!!!!Was a great and fun 7 days i must say. Firstly the weather in hongkong is simply perfect! For starters, there isn;t any rain for the whole 7 days. and the temperature is a nice 16 degrees which feels like being in an aircon room permanently. The people in hongkong are also very very gracious. They sure keep to the right side of the escalator allowing people who are in a hurry to go by the left side. Their food serving in hong kong is also very very big. And considering the amount of meals i have per day while i am at hongkong, i m just gaining fat like nobody business. Something interesting about hongkong is that their shopping centre escalator can sometimes just go up by 2 levels instead of the usual one. Rollar coaster rides can also be found within the shopping centre. In hong kong their fastfood restaurants are much nicer than those in singapore and when i talk about fast food restaurants i m not refering to mac or bk or kfc.. rather its those that are not found in singapore. The toilets(or lavatory as its called in hong kong) in hong kong is also very different from that in singapore. Firstly almost 90% of the toilets uses automated water dispenser be it for the urinal or taps. And they always provide paper towels to dry your hand. Something interesting i also saw in hongkong is that they also provide the toilet seat cleaning solution for ur usage in the toilets.

In the period of 7 days, i visited ShenZhen, Macau , Disneyland and many different streets of hong kong like Fa Yuen Street and Temple street and many others. To record done what i have done throughout the 7 days would take a lot of space and time and may not even be able to express what i felt and what happened. In summary, i would say its more than fun, its memorable u need to personally go and experience it yourself to really know what i meant. At the end, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Yaocong for inviting me to hongkong, and Ziyuan and Ben to share this experience with me. Happy New Year!

2006-12-18T20:33:00.003+08:00

Had a surprise on my birthday which totally made my day. A long lost friend of mine smsed me yesterday to wish me happy birthday. I am very touched and shocked. Cos after i lost her number i tot wld be very hard to get back in contact liaoz.I suppose this is one of the few surprises that life had installed for me. Yesterday had quite a lot of people wishing me. Would specially like to thank Sheau Jiuan, Yingli and Ailing for remembering my birthday without me 'reminding' them..haha ... that totally made my day to know that there are people who remembered my birthday even though i never keep in contact with them.

I think it just goes to show that life is always filled with surprises, and will only present themselves when required. Like in this case when i just wrote about how sad it wld be to have people forgetting abt my existence and stuff, the very next moment someone lost contact fren surfaced. It is as though Life is an entity who read my blog and purposely arranged this to happen.. funny isn't it? haha..

There isn't really much that i can write about in this post.. since there isn't much things that happened today.. so i m merely writing my afterthoughts for my birthday.. IF there is anythign interesting would be i m forced to dress up like a girl to flim some publicity video for D&D .. something i dun wish to even SEE..haha... will surely freak out anyone..haha..

Think i will just cut it short, i will just end it with A simple quote.
“

The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.

"
til i return from hong kong than..bon voyage to me and happy belated birthday to myself..=>

Sunday, 17 December 2006 (My birthday =< )

2006-12-17T14:31:00.000+08:00

Second post on the same day..just trying to make up for the days when i will be in Hong Kong and not posting.
Spenind my birthday with family today. I think for the past 22 years have been spending my birthday, cos apparently they are the only people who would remember my birthday without any reminder. i think every birthday to me is like a period of reflection and a period for me to set my goals and aims i suppose.

I think one of the thing i remember most should be last year bah..21 birthday is supposedly something of great significance to chinese. It marks freedom and a turning point in life. it also meant a farewell to childhood and a "HELLO" to the adulthood. I still remember last year was rather hurt during my birthday period bah.. I remembered someone asking me out on my birthday but to celebrate someone else's belated birthday and advance birthday. I wonder at times which is worse, to be forgotten or to be ignored? would it be worse is people just forget your birthday or is it worse for people to know your birthday and just ignore it? I do not know, i tink all that i noe is that neither is a good feeling. maybe it would not be that bad if its any birthday other than 21st? or maybe i m just being too sensitive,in any sense they also dunno me well enough bah, so can't blame anyone. I suppose that is to justify why this year i purposely go round asking for presents, constantly reminding people of my birthday, making my birthday known to everyone and being super thick-skin. To me, presents don't really matter much to me, i don't mind not recieving any presents as long as i know that you acknowledge my existence.

I have already forgotten what actually happened last year, but i can still feel that feeling i felt then bah.. maybe i m just too emotional or something, but to me the feeling is as fresh as its only a few hours ago. It is only then , that i promised myself that i would never let it happen again...NEVER! .. Thats why i used the fastest and most extreme method of making myself know by taking a first step. Using what i think is the best way of making frens by appearing in almost all functions, making my presence felt, initiating conversation , and have a very loud and impressionable image to let people remember me bah.. so that this year it would not be as sad as last year. I suppose you can call this the highest level of self deciet.. but i don't mind.. or i tink so..But i must say i m rather successful bah.. Really thank you to all of you who gave me present or wished me happy birthday.. You don't know how grateful i am with regards to that.

Looking out into the rain on my birthday, i don't know why but i just feel a sudden weight in me..and keep listening to the song 祝我生日快乐 is not helping i suppose.. i dunno why but i liked the song very much.. cos somehow it just so similar to me bah.. and i think its also that song that gave me inspiration about this post ..somehow just got reminded of last year. I remember got one saying, " When you enter this world, everyone around you are smiling and you are the only one crying, when you leave this world, hopefully, everyone around you is crying and you are the only one smiling." Sometimes i just wonder, should i just drop dead and die one day, how many people would really cry and be affected? In the end i can only draw the conclusion that only my family members would..
Anyway special thanks to the following people who wished me "Happy birthday" in order of the earliest to latest: ZhenNi, Weili, Sheau Jiuan, Jeff, Bradron, JunJie,Yingli,YingXian. Jasmine, Joyce, HongBee, MingKeong,Jonzz,Jingsi,AiLing,Anqi..Belated(haha):Minghui, Paul

Sunday , 17 December 2006 (MY BIRTHDAY!!!)

2006-12-16T23:33:00.000+08:00

My birthday is finally here! Would like to thank everyone who is going to give me a present or given me a present.. Thanks a lot... I think this post i will dedicate it to the present that i will be recieving that i feel is the most precious.To me the most precious present that i would recieve would be the time my family is going to be spending with me. My parents are supposed to be flying off to thailand for a holiday, but they brought it back by one day so that they can celebrate my birthday for me. In my memory, my family members are always here to celebrate my birthday with me. All of them would specially make time to celebrate with me. And they would purposely make that day very very very special for me. They way they do it, is not really what anyone would consider by some as something very magnificent. Examples would be, for instance when i m younger would hold a party for me, as i get older, i would be excused housework for that one day and is "immune" to any scolding, and as i get even older i get to choose wat i wan to eat for dinner when we eat out or maybe my mum would specially cook everything that i like.My brother and sister would also get me a gift. My sister would usually take care of the cake. To many, this just seem something just very ordinary, but to me all of these really touched me and make me really feel that the day is really special.
I think that the best gift anyone can give would be their time as i mentioned in my previous post. For this i am very grateful. My parents may not be the model parents, but to me they are the best. No doubt i do quarrel with them, raise my voice and they raise theirs, have conflict of interest and different ideas on stuff.. but i would say that at least we communicate and remove our differences. Another thing is the amount of freedom and trust they have in me and give me. they also always show appreciation in whatever i do , for instance , if somehow i recieve extra change and tell them about it, they would share my little joy. It may sound stupid, but by doing so they have shown me that at home there is always someone who cares about wat i do and wat happened. Apparently not many subscribe to this idea i suppose, cause i experienced before where care is not appreciated.. i suppose everyone has a different upbringing and idea of life. Another thing is their willingness to joke with you bah..i do not know how parents joke with their children and become the joke sometimes. But mine does, we joke with each other laugh at each other, this makes me feel closer to them i suppose.And furthermore how many parents would say this to their children," To me i feel that my children are still the best." My parents no doubt have that thinking in mind, but how many dare to say it out? I would say mine would.
My siblings are also always there for me whenever i m at home. My brother would be the mature one who provides me with either financial backing or advice. My sister on the other hand , is the one who spends the most time with me and bringing out the childishness and youth in me. In a nutshell , i suppose thats what u call unconditional love i suppose..
I tink i shall end my boring post about mainly about my family.. and nothing interesting..

2006-12-15T21:29:00.000+08:00

As i approaches 22, think i should be SLIGHTLY more mature bah.. so i will start off today with a more thought provoking topic. Today was walking aimlessly and a thought suddenly just struck me. I have also realised that my idea of whats important in a relationship is a bit wrong. Or rather i feel that what is the primary factor of a relationship is wrong (to myself that is). I used to think that in any relationship ..the most primary factor is Trust.. however, now i feel that trust is indeed in any relationship, but it might not be the primary factor. I think i sort of realised it from my personal experience bah.. To me now, i would think that TIME instead is a primary factor in any relationship. Let me explain a bit what do i mean by time. Time would mean , availability in short. How much time would u give to a relationship be it a love relationship, friendship, and any committees. Time also mean the presence of the physical self also known as making time for others. How much effort u took to make time for others.
With time sort of defined, i shall now explain my case bah. Firstly, let me start off with a simple analogy. To me any relationship is like a handphone battery. As the days go by, the battery will wear off and needs to be recharged.Thus, similar to any relationship, as time goes by u will slowly drift away from one another if you don't meet up physically. Spending time with people is like recharging the battery, thus u will recharge the bond between you and anyone. I believe that the best gift that you can give to anyone , would be your time. Why is that so? Because our our life is simply measured by the amount of time we have to live. Spending this vital time you have with someone would therefore mean a lot wouldn't it?
In a relationship i would believe that how well it will turn out, would be dependent on how much time and effort you spend in it. If there is a currency in any relationship , i believe that time would be the currency. The common cliche " Time is money" ; like any trust fund, the more money u put in the more u get, playing with words, the more time you invest in a relationship , the more trust you get from the other party.
It may not make any sense bah. In a nutshell, i believe that how well any relationship would turn out, is directly proportional to the amount of time you are going to invest into it. The more time you spend with someone, the more chance you allow someone to know you and you get to know him. Thats why i try my best to make time for any friendship that i may have. I believe that thats the best way i can repay anyone for being my fren , by giving them my time. Of course, i would believe that anyone who often do not have time for me would mean that our friendship is just not that important bah.. For such cases, naturally i would be insulted and since i am one who never like to be one who is losing out, i would feel that since you don't find it significant, naturally i woun't bother putting any more effort into it bah..

On a lighter note, just remembered a funny incident that happened recently. Was on board a train and i saw this happening. 2 ladies entered the train, and the person sitting beside me suddenly stood up and offered his seat to the one of the ladies.Well naturally she was shocked, cos she look like only in her late forties at most.. and deep down inside i think she must really feel very insulted.. that lady immediately look around her hoping that there is this slight chance that it is not her.. well , apparently not.. SHE IS THE CHOSEN ONE... well her fren is not helping when she started laughing lah and say"its you lah".. if i m that lady i tink i would just hope that a hole appear and suck me in lah... than her reply was (laughingly) tell the guy that no need she alighting the next stop... mk was also ard than..than i asked him about the incident..he felt that the lady shouldn't be laughing bah.. making that guy look like an idiot....well wat do you think?
Anyway with regards to wat i have written would appreciate greatly if any of you who read it feedback to me ... at least i noe someone is reading and help me fine tune my thoughts..thanks in advance
Reading the first comment reminded me of something which i have forgotten to write. Another reason why a relationship is like a battery, is because like a battery if u charge everyday no doubt that it will always be charged but there is a chance that it will just spoil. Likewise a relationship if u meet too often it is not going to help .. although you will still be friends but you will notice that your friendship is not progressing because your friends are simply taking your presence advantage .. thats why u must provide your presence only when in need bah.. An extreme case would be that u become too irritating and in the end the friendship sour...

As the week tends to the weekend, it also tends to my BIRTHDAY!!!! Life pass so fast..haha ... was like only yesterday when i just turn 18..the legal age to buy lottery.. after which i donated a lot of money to chairty via singapore pools....From the TWENTY to early TWENTIES life hasn't been much of difference to me, except the transition from army to school again.. a bit foreign to go back school after a 2 yrs ++++++++++++ of slacking... For the past few days, few interesting things happened.. One of which happened 2 days ago.. in my quest to becoming a pudge by sleeping into the afternoon, i overheard a conversation ( or is it quarrelling) at the void deck. If my semi-conscious state heard correctly, the characters included 2 X male PRCs, 1X female PRC and 1 X indian... Somehow one of the male PRC is quite good in many languages he noes how to speak tamil(it could be some other language though ..cos i also dunno tamil...i guess its indian cos the person who replied sounded like an indian and it do sound very tamil to me) and he was quarrelling with another PRC
using a mix of chinese, english and a dialect( although i dunno wat he toking about but doesn't sound tamil to me so i suppose its a dialect...can't be all the PRC suddenly noe tamil rite?) forgot whats the argument about though... was in a semi conscious state... than was awoken by the this group of people who decide to make their presence felt by raising their voice..
Besides that, today was reading the Life! section of the newspaper. Saw the cover page ..which was about mitch albom.. reminded me about the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" .. a rather meaningful book i must say...to summarise the entire book.. i would use the quote that the Life used " The truth is, once you learn how to die , you learn how to live" i suppose its similar to the cliche about ..only when you lose something then you would learn how to treasure it... i remember in the book, the author once asked morrie.. if he is given one more day to live in the pink of heath what would he do.. morrie replied that he would just do his usual daily stuff as he would do when he is healthy and nothing special.. quite an unexpected answer i suppose.. but i suppose when you are like him you would really miss the mundane and daily stuff that you are doing now ... That part really touched me ... I suppose I m just fan jian lah... only when i lose something than i will start to treasure..
Today was watching the tian wai fei xian... Than i wonder is it better not to love rather than love knowing that it will still end someday? And also hate is not really bad..since it does giv us an aim in life isn't it?..

For the past 2 days i am glad to say i have done nothing but sit at home and rot and gain weight.. Sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep....its like i m entering the hibernation mode liaoz lah... there is practically nothing to do for the past 2 days. I think life is really an irony lah.. During the exams i was wishing , hoping, praying, craving, dying for the holidays... But when the holidays come... i m like so BORED!!!! if any of u is reading this and is free kindly ask me out to do smth PLEASE... I think at this rate i m slowly turning into a Pudge( FYI: Pudge is a FAT , UGLY hero in DoTA.. and he has this skill known as rot which juz drains away everyone's life including his ... i tink i m turning into a pudge at this rate... firstly..at the rate food is going into me and nth is being done to process it, only one outcome -> FAT.... secondly, i m innately ugly[but not as ugly as the pudge!!!] .... lastly i m really like him lor..rotting my life away doing nothing during the holidays(added his neoprint..u can take a look)..... ARGHZ!!
The only thing productive i hv done is go town and rot ..haha went to recce on something and got a few surprises..haha realised that when u tot the price cannot be cheaper some store owners sure can show you that NOTHING in this world is impossible..haha.. Don't u juz love all these fine surprises that life has installed for u..
In the end , i think i can only conclude two things.. Your bed is your best friend when you are bored and also MY BED IS DARN COMFORTABLE lah...haha...

Sunday, 10th December 2006(G)

2006-12-10T17:39:00.000+08:00

Sunday is the the start of the week for some and the end of the week for some, to me Sunday is the end of the week. Was reading my sister's literature textbook yesterday, and saw a very interesting paragraph in it. Whats the sense of being happy when in the end you only lose the thing that makes you happy anyway?So, why bother to hold on? Why try to clutch onto a passing shadow?
Reading all these made me stop and reflect, so why is everyone trying to make themselves happy to lose it in the end? All good things come to an end no matter what. Its like sun set to sun rise. I suppose the answer to that would be memories and the believe and hope that something better would come along.
Memories are what I feel are the things that shape us. Be it good or bad, memories are something that direct us, influence us , affect us, and thus make us , US. We cannot be who we are if we do not possess our memories. As for the second part reason, i think the present that Pandora gave us is a driving force for many of us.
Anyway, on a side note, many interesting things happened since i last posted. For instance, on thursday i went for a class outing with the junior class... Although i am physically with the junior class, but we are like no difference from 2 sets of strangers in a same restaurant. Cause, firstly the senior class is sitting in a seperate table by themselves, and secondly there is almost no interaction between the seniors and juniors. Except for photo taking. Throughout the whole dinner, as expected we as the seniors did nothing much but gossip about the junior class and literally talking behind their back. After the dinner, we go on seperate ways (of cos some flirtaious personnel from my class juz can't bear to part with the junior class) . We the senior and more mature batch did something more exciting than the junior class whom i heard went to play uno?!?!?!? We had beancurd instead..haha... the highlight of the beancurd is the sudden collapsing of the table. Never knew that my classmates had such good reflexes.. All are like cats lah ...maybe thats why all so niao(haha joking) They managed to catch the table almost instantaneously, but of cos some unfortunate people like jeff got a feel of how beancurd milk feels like on jeans, and poor paul who was sitting on another table also got hit by the beancurd milk... haha i suppose he is TOO attractive that even the beancurd milk is attracted to him.After that its home sweet home and wait for the next day to arrive...

Then on saturday, went out with adec and jeff to shop and collect money.. met up wif mk and paul halfway. I also realised how NOT atas i m lah... they went shopping at the ck jeans and guess stores... Just one statement ..Those things are freaking expensive lah.... even with 50% i m still having 2nd thoughts to buy or not..they don't look exceeding impressive but the price is exceptionally high lah... Don't think i will EVER step into those shop to buy without discount unless i strike toto... In the evening, i, adec and jeff went to suntec to eat herbal chicken.. Sadly the qulaity dropped liaoz..not as good as before.. only consolation is they count wrongly and gave us the wrong change..haha...being the cheapo me.. i quickly dragged adec and jeff out of the store before the person realised that...haha... after that after much persuation by me and adec and the only valuable comment from paul, Jeff bought a $79 shirt and $1 worth of lollipop to get a $10 voucher which he could buy 20 lollipops..haha... wan to see how is he going to spend it before xmas...haha maybe he might juz buy the 20 lollipops i had better make myself there when that happens..haha so that i can have one..haha...
Overall the week went past quickly and smoothly with no major problems and troubles. I look forward to the following week.. I shall now conclude my super long post..haha

Another day of holiday..woke up at some come again timing again.. nth exciting happened to day .. Got a few thoughts though.. Was watching project super star earlier on ..and realised that the songs that they sang are from the 80s and 90s.. sadly I KNOW THE SONGS THEY SANG!!!!! That means that unknowingly i have aged so much... It was like only yesterday that i can finally go buy 4D.. Which reminds me, was watching happy feet on monday, and the aunty from cheers totally made my day. Cos mk wanted to buy beer so i offered to help him pay for it(as in he gimme money i pay.. not a generous sort..haha) since i am already in the queue. Than that cheers aunty said THE statement of the year, " Can i see some identification?" That totally made my day lah...first time since i was 18 anyone asked for my ic..haha ...nearly gave her a kiss ..haha..Anyway back to the aging thingy...was telling to my sis before the show start that the songs are frm our parent's era..than to my horror of all horrors i know those songs... don't want to admit old also cannot liaoz...

Other than that sad reflection..i also did something interesting today... i finally set a pw to my router..haha..cos i keep experiencing some demonic insane lag when i was dotaing(that game also not much fun..my grp mates are too crude for my liking) that i have to quit. than when i come out of my game i go check how many users using my router..i was like "COME AGAIN?!?!" got 2 exciting neighbours of mine who decided to use me as a hotspot lor.. They even dare.. i immediately off the router and decided to set a password... but to my own folly i forgot to copy down the password before happily clicking the apply changes button to lock myself out...haha...luckily the computer connected direct to the router don't need password than i can copy down the password and access internet on my lappy once again..haha...

All in all..another boring day passed without much excitement...

2006-12-06T02:08:00.000+08:00

Went through my FIRST offical day of the holidays. However the only part of the day that really felt like a holiday is the waking up at some godforsaken hour. Other than that its quite sad. To start off, ard 8+ or is it 7+..one of it.. i was awaken by the loud talking outside my room.. It was about someone decides to try out how a fast moving train head feels like at yishun mrt . At the same time he also decide to ensure that people do not get to work on time and enjoy the view from the stations longer. I suppose that person's principle in life is " Stop and take a look and smell the roses" ... trying his utmost to make sure that everyone in their paper chase stop and take a breather... quite admirable..
After which.. when i finally woke up... i have to get ready to go school for a sub com meeting.. The train ride there was anything but pleasant.. when i enter the train i saw this nice empty corner seat and thought wat a lucky day it was.. after i sat down ..i realised why was it empty... the seat literally smells like a fish market lah... its like someone bought a few dozens of fish and was occupying that seat earlier on lah... and for the sake of not looking funny....i have to endure that fishy smell all the way to woodlands before the beautiful process diffusion finally took place to a certain degree whereby the smell is almost negligible.
Well the only consolation is that everything else went on as per normal with nothing interesting happen.. or maybe the next exciting thing is me screaming at the subway uncle.. i dunno is it me or him..despite me telling him TWICE that i don't want cucumber, pickles and chilli.. i can see his hand reaching into the cucumber tub and ATTEMPT to grab some cucumber to put into my sandwich..this juz trigger my vocal cords to scream at him telling him i don't wan any cucumber,pickles and chilli.. than he withdraw his hand and dip it into the...... PICKLES TUB... is it that he can hear whats coming out of my mouth or he don't understand the name of veges? or is he out to spite me? in all sense i hv tp show off my wonderful range again to get his attention and "kindly" reminded him that NO PICKLES...after that he finally also got the idea that i don't want chilli.. Than i dunno why but when he is packing my sandwich..he is packing it at glacial speed lah... taking ages to pack my sandwich... I seriously think he got an agenda against me...
All in all for the start of the holidays i would say its not too bad, but got much room for improvement...

2006-12-05T00:38:00.000+08:00

Finally my examinations are over after an eternal week+++, as its always said, the end of something merely signifies the beginning of another. My HOLS are here!!!!! Just a little something about today's paper. My last paper is Dynamics of Interpersonal Relationships. Title sounds interesting, textbook is interesting, lecturer simply defines BORING and if there is any one word that totally defines the lecture, it would be "constipation"... very similar in the sense that both force u to sit in the same place for a long period of time and only thing u can do is exercise ur face muscles and the last and most important similarity, both are equally excrutiating.
Well in all sense, while doing the paper, i realised some stuff which i could use are should try to achieve. Like being more understanding, taking ownership of my feelings and most importantly to be able to look at things in other people's point of view and try to understand their actions, instead of puttng myself at the top always. During the exams i also saw some unproductive conflict management which i have done and should not have done. The exam is more of a reflection for me than an exam..Maybe if I am capable of understanding those things, i might not have end up in my current state. Sort of regret what i have done for the past few weeks, but regret is going to bring me nowhere... Well life goes on regardless of what, time heals all wounds, maybe time can make the cracks on a vase fade and blend in with the background...I do hope so. .. I think i have all these time to think about all these because i have already S/Ued the module and taking it lightly.
I think at the end of the day, a quote from my friend simply summarizes everything , "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will not forget the feeling that you gave them."

2006-12-02T23:48:00.000+08:00

After much deliberation, i have finally came up with a blog and found someone(JJ) to co-share with me, though he said that he would most likely just guest star once in a while.

Just a little something that i sort of realised today, to write in this blog. Was wondering to myself what am i going to do for my aimless one month holiday. Than i realised that---Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still. The sad and ugly truth about life. Whether am i going to just sleep away the entire holiday like i usually do, or find something to do(aka juz keep spending $$$ like nobody business, which is apparently worse) time will just go by and i will just age along with time.

Anyway, with regards to the blog title, i got the idea from a short phrase from the movie "Shall we dance". In it the actress said that "We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean?"
Since i have yet to find a witness for my life (aka my significant other half), so this blog will be my testimonial. And the title spark from the dark, merely meant that everyone of us are just so insignificant. Like what was said, there are just so many of us on this planet, one more or less of us just don't make a difference. Thus, i feel that everyone of us can either be a spark in the dark where u will just be enveloped and overwhelmed by the huge darkness, or be the spark from the dark..one that is able to make himself felt and seperate from the rest.

It sounds a bit weird i suppose... but well i will just conclude my first post with a quote.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.-- Josh Billings
