Life According to Melissa S.

2009-09-06T16:34:00.000+08:00

This is total bullshit. The worst thing is I'm stuck in there.

I need to find an avenue to transfer this energy in me and I don't think OT is going to help me any further.

2009-09-05T13:28:00.001+08:00

ARHHH!!!

I can't believe I'm hooked on Tumblr
God, help me!

2009-08-25T22:49:00.000+08:00

I'm too tired from generating thoughts other then those for assignments these days. It's amazing how the assignments can come and go one after the other. German class just have to make it worse as it becomes damn academic due to the upcoming major exam. I totally agree with Zydney about looking forward to end of this term. Hopefully the next would be more interesting.

I'm just tired from all this endless shit. My forever bloated tummy isn't making me feel good either.
Alright, I'm just going to pop my pills and get some early rest today.

2009-08-09T00:22:00.001+08:00

You got to try this: http://www.goldinuniverse.com/
Here's my analysis:

Name: melissa
Date: 8/8/2009
Colorgenics Number: 23147650

You work hard, seeking success. You are self-sufficient and in spite of all the trials and tribulations that have beset you in the past you carry on regardless.. You are one to be admired because you pursue your objectives single-mindedly and with initiative. You know that you can 'do it' and what is more, you will - without necessarily being dependent upon the goodwill of others. (Wow. That's so true. I'm a Modernist!)

You are willing to try anything once. You 'need to be needed' and what is perhaps more important you 'need to need.' You can only feel close to a person or persons when you feel you can trust them, but this trust needs to be proven to you.There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity. (That explains why I need to hit the Gym so often.)

You are on tenterhooks and appear to be extremely nervous and upset. You are bored and you feel that life has far more to offer than this present day mundane existence. The way that you feel indicates that you have the need for a responsive and understanding relationship. You are prepared to follow up any opportunity which may present itself. However you are very choosy and you refuse to be swept off your feet unless integrity can proved to be 100% genuine. Therefore you are holding back, keeping your emotions in check because before you let down your guard you have to be sure. You are too trusting and you have no desire to be hurt again. You are responsive to conditions around you - but forever under control. (AH! OT is the cause of me being so upset! OMG. The 2nd part's so true too. Scary shit.)

You are afraid that you may not be able to realise or achieve your hopes and desires and so you insist that people should accept you as you are and appreciate your rights to anything that you aspire to. (Accept me for who I am people!)

2009-08-08T15:37:00.001+08:00

I was riding the NEL, returning from gym in the afternoon, when this little boy caught my attention. In fact, I think all the commuters in that carriage noticed him.
He was with his mom, grandmom and 3 elder siblings. What's so 'special' about him is that he is a complete tyrant. My impression of him deteriorated as time passed by. He was bossing his siblings and throwing tantrums at his mom. Basically, making a fool of himself and his mom in public. At that instance, it just dawned on me why lots of young couples refuse to have children.

Most of the time, I have a liking for children but this brat really irritated the hell out of me (f.y.i., his mom was sitting right beside me). He should really thanked my iPod for saving his life. Alright, my tolerance level for ugly and mischievous children are low, it will hit the bottom pit if they are chinese chinese. It is an unexplainable bias and I doubt that it will change. Ha!

I always have this thought that couple should never have children if they fall under one of these 2 following categories:

1. Do not have enough cash flow.
2. Do not have the time to educate them.

I reckon that some religious oppose the act of abortion. However, is it more of a suffering to see your flesh and blood suffer? I have this belief that parents ought to provide the best for their children - be it material or non-material needs. It gets me really pissed whenever I see a lowly income family have so many children. Therefore, do not have children if you cannot afford it.

2009-08-04T23:42:00.000+08:00

Oh man. He's voice is just amazing. Yes, I am mesmerized by him - Adam Lambert.
Who care if he's gay. He's hot and sexy. And I'm sure there are lots of girls out there who agree with me.

Lambert just reminds me of this particular customer who I saw at Boss a few months back. Well, a pretty hot Asian guy whom Jason (my colleague) proclaimed that he's gay. Seriously, I'm still skeptical about it despite the mini experiment we carried out then. Don't be mistaken, I have no qualms about having gay friends; in fact, I love their company (and their bitchiness)! It's just a different sexual preference which cannot be help.
Damn. I think I just figure out the similarities from the guys I'm attracted to - metrosexual. What are you thinking of?! tsk.

2009-07-30T12:28:00.000+08:00

Karma is a topic that has always remained in my 'grey area' - something that I'm skeptical about. I should be influenced by my mom for believing in it without doubts but I cannot help but question who is there to judge. I do believe there is some kind of higher power up there to explain the unexplainable. However, how do one identify and institutionalized which is the right one? I have been exposed to the teachings of Buddhism and Christianity at a young age and it does get me confuse at times. I supposed that explains the reason for me to be skeptical about religious issues. On the other hand, a higher tolerance level of different cultures. In fact, I kind of appreciate the diversity of it.

The reason for each individual for keeping to a certain faith varies that brings me to wonder the possibility of having a single faith, a uniformity. Lesser choices, no disagreements (on which faith is better) but definitely a less 'colourful' culture setting. But don't you agree that it is a great way to spread love around right? Alright, it's just another one of those thoughts from Mel. Excellent way to digress from OT assignment 1, which has been such a pain in the ass. I cannot believe I am doing a sociological module for a business course! Dreadful stuff.

P.S.: My counter meter has been jumping but Tagboard is still. Com'on people, are you sure you got nothing to comment? (At the very least you can give some comments on my brace-less teeth! tsktsk)

2009-07-27T23:18:00.000+08:00

Are Singaporeans too afraid/ embarrassed to lend a helping hand to a stranger in need?

Well, the thought came across my mind after I slipped for the 2nd time today. Yes, 2 times. The embarrassment was transformed to more of an enquiry. The journey from P.S. to The Cathay was exceptionally wet due to the downpour and I was in my Billabong flip-flops. Did I mention that I was also carrying a 5kg haversack and 2kg Macbook? Yes, it was DREADFUL. Anyway, the route was still pretty crowded but no one offered to help me out. Alright, I do not mean to sound like some princess and definitely was not expecting anyone to offer me their help. But, the second fall did made me do some thinking.

Are we not suppose to have graciousness and consideration instilled in us? Oh, I have forgotten. We DO need the Singa Lion and Phua Chu Kang to remind us daily to do that (assuming that you are taking the MRT). The campaign may seem successful only because the reminder is staring at us! I cannot help but feel slightly embarrassed every time I stare back at them (PCK and Rosie). We actually need some ridiculous TV characters to educate us. WTH? Ok, on the second though the posters may be doing a reverse psychological effect on the commuters. No matter what it is, I am pretty sure I would certainly laugh my head off if I was a tourist.

2009-07-24T23:29:00.002+08:00

I think I'm insane. Academic workload is piling up and I'm thinking of doing a sports cca in school. Alright, don't panic my friends. It's just a random thought.

However, I did finally signed up for the Standard Chartered Full Marathon after much contemplation. Com'on people! Time to get your butt moving and sweat it out! ;)

2009-07-21T23:26:00.003+08:00

Blogger is getting cranky while I'm in the midst of 'reviving' my pathetic blog. The busy schedule during the holidays had been made me super worn out. Nonetheless, the experiences at Hugo Boss and KS Office were great. They definitely gave me a different perspective of the fashion industry. Which is why I'm contemplating whether to do my LM interview on one of the bosses/ managers.

It's so weird to have the last post talking about end of exams while the new semester had just started. 4th week of school and I'm feeling all choked up from:

1. OT Assignment 1 (Individual)

2. OT Assignment 2 (Individual)

3. LM Assignment 1 (Individual)

4. LM Assignment 2 (Group)

5. Investment Assignment (Group)

6. Investment Test

7. German B.1 Exam

Darn.

2009-05-05T23:22:00.002+08:00

Exams are over!!!

She never felt that relieved before. It's a hectic semester with all her commitments piling up. Well, she's glad it's over. No point worrying about the results now when there's still 1 month to go.

She getting back into training tomorrow if all things go well. Let's see how things will go from there...

2009-04-25T21:29:00.001+08:00

1 more week till the end of the exams yet it seems forever.

The worst thing is, I'm not even prepared for all the papers.

I'm in deep shit.

2009-04-21T00:05:00.001+08:00

It was a blast.

Fun is over.... For now ;)

HMT = Hates Management Theory

2009-03-31T23:37:00.001+08:00

In desperate need of a holiday/ party.

2009-03-17T00:57:00.002+08:00

Ich müss das glücklichste Mädchen, weil Andreas Thimm meinen Lehrer noch ist! Ich kann es nicht glauben. Vor Klasse, sagte ich Canni, dass Andreas muss meinen Lehrer nicht sein. Wie glücklich ich sein kann?!

I must be the luckiest girl as Andreas Thimm is still my teacher. I cannot believe it. I was telling Canni why Andreas mustn't be my teacher for this term! And there. I stroke it. Damn. How lucky can I be?!

2009-03-10T00:07:00.004+08:00

This is one of the moments that she wishes that she can survive without sleep. Yes, she LOVES sleeping but there're thousand and one stuff out there that she wants and needs to accomplish. Next Tuesday may be the day to end her sufferings from all the assignments but that will also indicate that exams (and her 21st birthday, which she hasn't even start planning) are in 6 weeks time! She ought to thank Canni for the dear reminder.

Anyway, she'll be finally heading back for her German class next Monday! Many hugs and kisses to her Mummy for the sponsor. Well, she hates to admit but she's nervous about it. 3 months can do lots of damages to her touch on the language. She's definitely crossing her fingers - and please, no Andreas Thimm when she's in such terrible state.

2009-02-28T23:48:00.002+08:00

OH MY GOD. This is pretty accurate...

What's your personality love style?

Here is the analysis:

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

2009-02-16T22:54:00.002+08:00

She's giving herself till the end of the month to make the final decision.

It is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent the country in the SEA Games but the level of commitment she can give is holding her back. It's against her conscious not to give her best performance it all situations; and this is definitely not one that she will allow it to happen.

The unfamiliarity of the sport is another issue. It is no doubt that all of the other players are new too. However, she has to admit that she can be pretty slow in picking up the new techniques. Like what Ian said, "Locomotion!". Her body needs a longer time to accustomed to the new set of coordinations.

Well, the time is certainly running out for her.

2009-02-09T21:21:00.002+08:00

She was supposed to have her eye-candied session today. However, the consultant was to check her eye instead. She didn't even get a good glimpse of the junior opthamologist. What a disappointment.

In the meantime, assignments and revision are screaming at her to get some serious work done...

2009-02-05T22:18:00.001+08:00

This just rekindles her love for the language...

2009-02-03T23:05:00.002+08:00

After having 2 festive seasons back after back, she feels like a pig right now.

*oink*

2009-01-24T00:58:00.001+08:00

Perhaps it was a sign from God.

Well, an expensive sign then.

Oh my Lord...

2009-01-20T21:41:00.004+08:00

Donnar's questions stunned her during training today. It just didn't cross her mind before. Well, it did set her thinking for the rest of the day...

"Which traits of a man provide you the sense of security and stability?"

That's a real toughy and she finally came out with the following:

1. Gentleman

2. Meticulous

3. Intellectual

What about you?

2009-01-15T23:53:00.003+08:00

Another crossroad.

How encouraging.

2009-01-04T12:16:00.003+08:00

Another day and she'll be back to schooling lifestyle again! Although she did enjoy her holidays, she still misses school. Her instincts tell her that it'll be an exiting semester ahead.

2009-01-01T00:54:00.007+08:00

Despite feeling pretty worn out from the lack of sleep, she is really looking forward to a greater year ahead.

There is only one word to describe 2008 for her - Crazy.

She embraced tertiary education and it was a great and enriching first year. She can hardly believe that one year of university education had just swept passed. Meetings, projects and oversea trip had never been as fun as that. Many thanks to the great people in her OG and of course, MNPians =)

Another year of slacking and getting drunk!

Gatherings and outings with the Aunties has always been awesome, heartwarming and lots of love <3

Parting with K. was never easy despite the fact that she was the party to initiate it. Nonetheless, she was glad to share the moments with him.

There were of course the occasional class and cousins gatherings...

How could she ever forgot that she almost got her left eye blinded?!

Vanity almost cost her eye when acanthamoeba found her. However, it also helped her to find a delightful eye candy! ^^

Goodbye 2008 forever.

2008-12-30T22:32:00.005+08:00

She finally got her craving satisfied at half price!

Yummy!

She was once again reminded that she has to skip next term German class due to the clashing of Business Finance. In addition to her agony, Simone will be taking B1.2 (that's the class she'll be in)!!!! This is absolutely frustrating.

As much as she loves Christmas, she can't wait for 2008 to end. It's not exactly a bad year in the whole. However, it sucks when all the unpleasant events had to occur nearing the end on the year.

More recaps on 2008 tomorrow...

2008-12-26T11:45:00.001+08:00

Although it's Boxing Day today, she still likes to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

She simply loves the outings and gatherings with her friends and cousins in this festive time of year. It definitely brings everyone closer to one another =)

Anyway, she had somehow delivered the post today. It wasn't as hard as she thought it would be and she actually delivered it rather smoothly. In the meantime, she was 'assured' that the treatment and visits are going to last for a while...

2008-12-22T00:42:00.005+08:00

3 more days to Christmas!

In other words, 4 more days to Boxing day!!! But the card is still empty.

She was telling me that there's no way this season can be crazier than what she'd gone through. Apparently, that's not the case. Weird enough, she seems to be getting in tune with all the happenings; and actually looking forward to more of it.

What can I say? She's one hell a weird lass.

2008-12-17T01:05:00.003+08:00

8 more days to Christmas and she hasn't even started on her Christmas shopping!

Despite the fact that it's her favorite festive season of all times, she can't help but feeling broke already.

No matter what the issue is, this is definitely the season to spread the love around! =)

2008-12-10T23:57:00.002+08:00

This isn't supposed to be the way things should go after her holidays. Everything seems to be going in the wrong direction for the lady.

She simply can't wait for the weekend to come...

2008-12-07T00:42:00.002+08:00

She's back!

The trip was superb!!! :)

Pictures speak a thousand words so, she suggests you to view her Facebook for more details!

OMG.

She thinks that she is having a major crush on her ophthalmologist.

2008-11-30T22:10:00.002+08:00

Looking forward to an exciting week ahead, Betty will crash early today :)

She'll most probably be updating us on her adventure; especially when the rest of the co. will be using the internet service to check their results on Thursday. Yes, the sickening results are coming out on Thursday and Betty is definitely not looking forward to it.

In the meantime, she chanced upon this super hilarious clip. Whites never fail to make her laugh. hahaha!

2008-11-25T01:12:00.003+08:00

Late for her weekly appointment in the Eye Centre, Betty was practically running into the clinic. However, she didn't see Dr. Alex's name on any of the room doors. 20 minutes later, that familiar figure rushed into Room 18. He was in his polo t-shirt, jeans, haversack and sneakers...

Borrowing the station from another colleague, Betty finally got her eye checked by the most casually dressed-up doctor. Nonetheless, it was the most amusing check-up ever. Ophthalmologists can be quite cute after-all ;)

2008-11-20T22:53:00.002+08:00

An interesting AGM she had on Wednesday. She wished she could stay on to party somemore but her appointment with Dr. Alex the next day was at 08:40. Did she ever mention that Dr. Alex looks like one of local chinese radio stations DJ? Ok, he's quite an eye candy. The gentleman genre. Anyway, she probably had to stay on with the glasses for the longest period of time she could ever imagine. She can't change her frame as the infection might affect the degree of her eyesight. Arg. Vanity is such a killer.

'Beach Babe' job was boring. Sales were low, no one to talk to (she's doing the solo job in a hut) and most importantly, no eye candies! Actually, part of her was glad that there was hardly any. She looks horrible in that orange costume and nerdy glasses.

In the meantime, she is engrossed in her fiction and non-fiction readings...

Und naturlich, muss sie Deutsch überarbeiten.

2008-11-16T21:28:00.002+08:00

A new phone for the end of Year 1 in University for Betty!

There is still the appointment with Prof. Heng tomorrow afternoon. She has once again regain her sight. Last Thursday was really a scare for her. The only comforting lighting was Darkness. It was apparently due to the scrapping of her cornea by Doc. Yeo for testings. Yes, scrapping of her cornea with a freaking NEEDLE. Anyway, she is really crossing her fingers that the pictures of her cornea will look better tomorrow.

2008-11-13T17:25:00.003+08:00

It'd been a roller coaster ride for Betty. Anyway, she's still grateful for the many well-wishes and concern from her friends.

Today was her 3rd trip to TTSH. Yes, THIRD trip; and there will be the 4th one with Dr. Yeo tomorrow and 5th one with Prof. Heng on Monday. Isn't she lucky to have alerted the Professor? Gosh. She is definitely feeling the love.

Apparently, her affection for contact lens may have alerted the rarely-seen Acanthamoebe, an eye parasite. Although the laser scan she had yesterday showed the nasty creature in her cornea, the test results are negative. That explains the continuous visits to the hospital and the stringent check-ups.

Betty just hopes that her cornea is not infected by the parasite; but if it does, the prescribed eye drops will kill them away...

2008-11-10T22:39:00.002+08:00

She was totally freaked out in the morning when her left eye was all red and swollen.

This had led her to a busy day at polyclinic and TTSH. Well, not exactly busy when she could not open her eyes and had to wait for hours before it was her turn.

The verdict? She was almost awarded with cornea ulcer for her love of contact lens.

That's it. No more pushing her luck any further.

What a way to start anyone's holidays...

2008-11-09T01:07:00.008+08:00

The exams were finally over for Betty!!!!

Well, the last paper - Management Accounting, wasn't a really good end for her Year 1 in Uni. Nonetheless, she believes that "You reap what you sow" =)

Before Betty officially goes into hibernation again, a visit to the optician is becoming a 'Must; for her. The swell on her left cornea isn't getting better; and what Isabelle had mentioned to her about all the eye stuff is kind of freaking her out now.

Anyway, chocolate is out of her diet for at least 1 month. Her Poison No. 2 is kicking into her blood right now (Well, Poison No. 1 is none other than Mr. A). It simply means more runs, more pumps and more combat sessions to make up for her bitter sweet indulgence...

2008-11-01T14:32:00.002+08:00

She can't help but adores Taylor's hairdo in her new MV for "Love Story".

Well, the guy in that MV is super cute too ;)

2008-10-30T12:15:00.002+08:00

She had been aching ever since she woke up this morning. She wondered if it was the gym session she had yesterday or because of her sore throat. The green tea latte did not seem strong enough to keep her alive and the poor lady was only half-way through her 2nd review of the past year questions.

Scheiße!

Marketing is draining her away...

2008-10-24T15:50:00.004+08:00

She simply could not get over the fact that she had just been ripped-off by this particular spree organizer in LiveJournal. Betty couldn't feel any dumber at that moment. She was simply incredible in convincing herself that daily spree-ing was a form of de-stress from all the work. If she was to blame anyone, it will be the darn technology. It cannot make shopping any easier these days - especially with White around.

Besides all the motivational online-shopping to get her going, Betty found a new hobby in flipping Pink. She found simple pleasure in visualizing the 3S (Sea, Sand & Sun) smiling at her every time at December. More importantly, she simply could not wait for the trade-off between Caffeine and Alcohol in her diet.

2008-10-20T13:07:00.002+08:00

She did try to get some of her work done but the prickling pain in her left eye was simply too much for her to handle. There was nothing White could do to help the poor lady. It simply stood there and stared blankly at Betty as she retreated to Black for the rest of the evening...

Betty know it herself that spectacles would be a must for her these couple of weeks. She deserved it. Wilhelmina's fashion logic is not meant for everyone; and Betty was definitely not one of them at this point of time. Well, the only condolence was that it came after her dates and appointments.

Betty almost gave in when she saw Henry's name on her cell. But a less-than-5 seconds- ringing definitely was not worth her time at this period of time. It had already been a terrible night for Betty and the call made it worse. She cursed beneath her breath as the screams of the Blondie echoed the entire room....

2008-10-15T22:48:00.005+08:00

Bored and restless to start another topic of her MAB, the self-proclaimed Ugly Betty decided to check out this particular website that Canni had earlier on mentioned to her - Hotel 626.

She can't imagine herself following all the rules of the game. And so she did not. She knew that the rest of the night would certainly be disturbed if she did what was told. Nonetheless, she completed the game with the help of Patrick. In fact, she was impressed with the speed of him comprehending the story line as well as the different rules at each stage. Well, she should expect higher standards of gaming skills from him actually. His team was placed 4th in 2008 WCG for DOTA.

In the meantime, her head was still suffering from the aftermath of the game...

2008-10-13T23:08:00.003+08:00

Nothing really exciting that has been going on lately, especially when Speedwing had decided to cancel the internship to Germany. I was so looking forward to the talk that will be held on Wednesday!

They (Speedwing) explained that it was due to the international downturn of the economy that causes their German counterparts to cease this collaboration. What the hell?! Though the chances are really slim, but I'm still keeping my fingers cross regarding this matter since the international stock market had made its rebound today.

I got a feeling the lady who sent us the information regarding this programme is that Freya from my previous German class. haha! I can't wait for her to reply my mail or even see her on Wednesday. The talk about the internship programme will still be on but most probably in either US or New Zealand.

Anyway, I've been thinking of training again, as in Judo training. Maybe I'll just give it a shot after exams or something. The idea of having of not having Sul around is weird and holding me back. I'll see how it goes.

Exactly 2 weeks more to my 1st paper and I have yet to touch my MAB. Shit.

Got to buck up mels!

By the way, check this out (which I totally agree):

2008-10-07T00:49:00.003+08:00

A2.3 is finally over for me!

That's the official end for my Beginner's level in German =)

Looking forward to Intermediate level though I'm crossing my fingers that Andreas will stay far away from the B level. haha! He's a good teacher and I'm feeling kinda guilty for giving him my typical pissed-off look last week but I just couldn't help it. It's a torture to hide your emotions sometimes.

Well, NO MORE START DEUTCH PRÜFUNG!

By the way, the 12th German Film Festival is coming!

I'm pretty interested in 5 of the films (especially the last 2) which are as follow:

1) Absurdistan

2) The Wave

3)The Heart is a Dark Forest

4) Trade - Welcome to America

5) Rabbit without Ears

There'll be english subtitles so don't worry. Let me know if any of you are interested alright?

2008-10-02T23:47:00.002+08:00

I was literally forced to visit the optician since my contacts were out. Well, my left eye had been bothering my for a while since the 'red-eye scare' about 1 month back. I thought it was just tiredness and an increase in degree.

Well, it seems that I'm having a swollen cornea instead. The optician can't really pin-point on the exact reason for that. At least 3-7 weeks without contacts. Oh great, just in time for the Mugging Season.

In the meantime, I'm going to be the geeky and nerdy melissa s.

2008-10-01T23:20:00.005+08:00

After having this major upset with Andreas which causes me to have this thought of dropping German, I came across this German band whose songs are pretty awesome.

Tokio Hotel

You'll probably hear their English single, Monsoon, on 98.7FM and it's really impressive for a German band to get into the US market after so long. Well, I've to admit I got quite a shock when I saw the style of the lead singer, Bill Kaulitz. Yes, he's the one with the electrifying hairdo and manicured nails. But I supposed that makes the band even more unique.

Anyway, they've pretty catchy & nice songs that are both in german & english. It certainly made me interested in the language once again. Pretty good way to extend my vocabulary bank and get me settle for my German exam next Monday.

Bis dann!

2008-09-29T23:18:00.002+08:00

Andreas Thimm is driving me crazy!!!!

For your information, he's my German teacher for this term.

He's a good and dedicated teacher BUT I just can't stand the method he uses in class!

This is the first time that I felt so DUMB & RETARDED in class. It was real demoralizing. The extremely cold classroom made everything worse.

AHHHH!!!!!

I just cannot stand how dumb I may have looked or sounded in class just now! It's not that I don't understand, but I need to SEE to understand better & faster! I'm a visual learner and there's nothing wrong with that!

ICH VERSTEHE!!!!

PS: Hugs & kisses to my darling, Jeslin, for hearing me out the entire ride home =)

Lucky by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caliet

Do you hear me,I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again
Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbyeI wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music, fell the air
I put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lovely song by Mr. A-Z for a lovely weekend that I'm looking forward to.
Anyway, Marketing project has finally come to an end!!!!
HOORAY!
I'm so proud of our end product! Love you babes to bits man! =)

PS: Best viewed if you have the font Tekton Pro.

2008-09-17T00:15:00.003+08:00

Yes, a new layout inspired by the picture above.

I fell in love with the photo at once when Canni showed it to me and it'll be used in our poster design for one of collection of heels that our Marketing group is doing.

2 ore days to submission! Hang in there babes!

I'm so looking forward to this weekend with back-to-back of meeting-ups and chilling sessions!

Yippee! =)

2008-09-09T00:49:00.003+08:00

It's time for me to buck up on my German once again. My results for the mock exam was seriously crappy. Even Andreas gave me the 'What's up with that not-up-to-expectation result?' look. Nonetheless, he was still as encouraging as usual. Well, I was too preoccupied with the sucky scores that I kinda stoned away....

Anyway, Andreas kind of reminded me of him at one point of time. He made a comment that's similar to what he'll tell me when I tried to get away with doing certain stuff. Well, I did thought that I haven't get over him when I flustered upon seeing his messages. However, after the film (it's a love story) that we we watched in class, it struck me that it's not him that I've not gotten over. It's being in a relationship. I know I sound pretty much like a bimbo now but it's not fun having too much time for yourself! Now I sound desperate. Wtf. hahaha!

Well, Andreas gave me the permission to blame that 'stupid German teacher' of mine, so it's Andreas fault that made me think so much again. hehehe!

2008-09-07T20:36:00.002+08:00

The White Bling Bling Party had come to an end!!!

No doubt the music sucks, but the night was still fun =)

It's getting high with no hangover!!!

Yay!!!

I'm too lazy to upload all the pictures here since they're at Facebook already but I just remember that I took photos with almost everyone except Gab & Gary! haha!

Alright, I'm still suffering from the aftermath of partying and having a bloated stomach of a damn filling thai cuisine dinner. Give me a few more hours before I get down to business and continue with my marketing project. hehe!

2008-08-31T21:41:00.002+08:00

I'd cleared the Nike+ Human Race!

*woots*

BUT... instead of the normal 10km that most people ran, I ran freaking 15km! This is so shitty man!

Well, I did a wrong turn after the 5km mark and went back the same route again. It didn't occur to me that I ran wrongly cause I recognized some runners who were in front of me that were making that turn too. Moreover, I saw Nizam running back from the route I was going to run (Nizam was wearing the Red tag so he should be ahead of me).

Yesyes, I know there's the kilometers marking for every kilometer we ran but I just assumed that they (the road marshals) have no time to change the '2km' to '4km' as the 2nd batch of runners had just started. I was almost in shock when I saw the '6km' sign. Zzzzz..

It certainly is the most unforgettable first Run. And yes, the silliest mistake of my life so far...

Blehx!

2008-08-27T23:31:00.002+08:00

2008 Beijing Olympics had finally come to an end on Sunday and I'm missing all the actions already. Well, I thought it was a splendid show that the Chinese had put up. The opening and closing ceremonies were spectacular! If you missed them, you can jolly well can talk to my hand right now.

Anyway, school stuff had been keeping me damn freaking busy. Tests, revisions, project, council stuff, etc. Gosh! I really need more time man! Ahhh!!! I'm going to freak out damn soon.

Oh, before I forget, anyone keen to go for Standard Chartered Marathon? Yesyes, I haven't even complete the Nike+ Human Race and I'm already thinking of SCM. Well, it keeps me motivated to continue on my gym routine other than going there to gloat at that cute trainer =p

'Early birds Period' had ended already but it's still the 'Promo Period' till end of August. So please let me know alright? I'm thinking of doing the 10km or the half-marathon one. By the way, it's on 7th December (Sunday) =)

2008-08-19T00:40:00.002+08:00

I'm glad that I'm getting the geese of all these 'thinking and listening in German' thing.

Well, Thimm's class is as stressful as usual but he's definitely drilling us to speak like Germans. Anyway, we kind of digressed in class and started 'updating' ourselves on our teacher. All of us got a shocked when he told us she's 23! By the way, she looks more like his girlfriend man!

Okay, for your information, Thimm stands at approximately 1.8m; keeps his hair in a pony tail; wears 6 rings and has a real edgy and punky look.

"Is your daughter the cause underage sex?" one of my course-mates blurted out.

He was half smirking and laughing to himself and admitted to having lots of underage sex but he only had his daughter only at 19 (18 is the legal age). Did your sums? He's 42 but he sure doesn't look like one! He's secret to keeping young? Lots of sex!

Oh my gosh! I'm so jealous of his daughter man! He's like the coolest Dad I ever can imagine and would die to have! Well, at least I've the coolest German teacher for now! haha!

2008-08-13T00:08:00.003+08:00

I'm still overwhelmed by Ayumi Tanimto's counter unchi-mata. That's an Ippon throw which was BEAUTIFULLY executed! She had completely stunned her opponent who is World number 1, Lucie Decosse of France. By the way, this will be her 2nd consecutive Gold medal.

This is the half-middle weight category that I'm talking about today. That means Tanimoto is playing -63 kg! Same as me! Haha!

Ahhh!!!

Alright, she's going to be my next idol after Tani =)

And guess what? German Ole Bischof won Korean Kim Jae-bum by a Yuko. This is Germany 1st Gold medal for Judo in these Games. This is so cool!

2008-08-12T00:19:00.004+08:00

Well, I missed today's Lightweight matches due to German class but yesterday's Half-light weight matches were damn exciting. Lots of kata-guruma, tei-guruma & excellent counter throws that were being executed.

Chinese Judoka - Xian Dongmei had gotten her 2nd consecutive Gold medal. Similar to Tani, she returned to training after giving birth and this will also be her last Game. However, she had successfully defended her title!

Yes, I'm still upset over Tani's lost. She deserves more than a Bronze. Alright, back to the Half-light weight matches again. Masato Uchishiba had also defended his title! He did a counter and proceeded to a pin. Unknowingly, he had actually choked his opponent and eventually, won by a tapped-out! Sweet victory! And yes, Uchishiba looks extremely charming in the following photo ^^

2008-08-10T01:27:00.010+08:00

I'd just finished watching the Men & Women Judo Extra Light Weight Category for the Beijing Olympics 2008. 2 unexpected champions were crowned - South Korea's Chio Minho & Romania's Alina Dumitru. However, not all matches were awesome.

The Women matches were a real disappointment. Ryoko Tani (formerly known as Ryoko Tamura) only got a Bronze when the Gold was within reach! The semi-finals of her and Romania's Alina Dumitru was really frustrating. Both of them were so defensive in their playing and in the end, it cost Tani her Gold.

Men are always men - aggressive in their playing style but it makes the matches more exciting to watch!

The finals more the Men -60kg was indeed the match of the day.

The te-guruma (leg-grab pick-up) by South Korea's Chio Minho (2nd from left) which scored an Ippon, was super brilliant! Despite loosing to Chio, opponent Ludwig Paischer from Austria (far left) is so full of sportsmanship and charming!!!! Well, Pasischer was helping the sobbing Chio from the mats to bow out after his win! Cool right?!

I'm so going to keep a look out for this Austrian in the future Judo matches! hehehehe! =)

2008-08-05T22:17:00.001+08:00

After so much of procrastination, I finally had my fringe chopped.

Coincidentally, it looks like the Blondie on my blog!

2008-08-01T22:00:00.002+08:00

Help needed from all ladies out there!

Well, I got a survey about heels which is for my Marketing project. It'll only take about 5 minutes of your time =)

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/58541/aldo-heels-survey

Thanks a million!

2008-07-28T23:59:00.005+08:00

Heute Deutschklasse war toll!!!

Wir hatten eine kleine Party in Klasse und vielen dank Simone fuer die Chips und Cookies!

I had finally watched a German film - The Bandits & it's without subtitle!

Well, I've to admit there are some parts of the film that I can't understand but nonetheless I enjoyed it a lot! =)

Anyway, the story was about 4 female prisoners who had formed a rock band while they were serving their sentences. They broke out almost by accident and seize their freedom. The headstrong lead singer, outraged by the 2 male jail breakers who were getting all the attention, set up a publicity shoot with a local reporter. It became the most talked about music video and it made these free-spirited jail breakers famous. Well, the police were of course hot on their heels but it didn't fail to stop them. However, things went down the heel when one of the band members died and the other got caught. I was actually pretty emotional when they decided to end their lives (shot by the police) after their first and last concert...

However, everyone in class was busy packing their stuff (almost 10pm) and it kind of destroyed the atmosphere....

Zzzz!

I'm so going to ask Fabian to recommend some nice German films IF i ever see him online. I thought I was busy enough but this dude seems to be even busier than me! Blehx!

2008-07-20T01:57:00.002+08:00

Life has been real busy and I seriously need to catch up with some sleep.

However, gatherings are still as welcoming as ever =)

PS: I'm getting thirsty!

2008-07-06T13:04:00.004+08:00

Alright, I'm smack back to reality once again.

Argh!

Well, I'm just glad that I'd fun yesterday even if it's short-lived =)

A busy week lies ahead of me...

2008-06-28T00:40:00.002+08:00

What a busy week I had and it's not over yet man! But I'm real glad I don't have to slack around anymore! I can't stand myself doing nothing actually. It just make me look like a useless bum.

Anyway, Orientation for the Freshies was held yesterday. I must say a good job done by everyone involved. It's so so much better than the one we had last semester! Hopefully the Freshies will appreciate our efforts =)

And of course, I can't wait for the upcoming "The Very White Bling Bling Party" by RMITSC! I'm really crossing on my fingers and toes that the sponsor will reply to the mails I sent out yesterday after gym. Talking about gym, my hands and legs were trembling during the workout man! I'm definitely FEELING IT! haha! I'm so going to ache again but it certainly means I'm training!

Alright, I better get some rest before I get all excited again on my M&P chalet in a few hours time! =D

2008-06-19T23:45:00.003+08:00

Had been working on council staff these past few weeks and working at Expo this week is making it worst. I'm drained!

Well, I'm working as a hostess for this Hong Kong company at ComunicAsia 2008. I must say the workload is real easy but the hard part is trying to keep myself awake and warm. No kidding man! The place is FREEZING; I'm bored to death most of the time cause there's nothing to do. I'm literally there to occupy space man!

Well, I think the only enjoyment is to stare at those Russian girls from CBoss. They're super gorgeous! Even I can't take my eyes away from them! The event comprises mostly of middle-aged uncles so yeah, it's BORING! Well, I did spotted 2 cute guys both on the 2nd day! But that's it. Zzzzz...

Thank god it's only 1 more day to go...

2008-06-07T00:58:00.002+08:00

Anyway, I'm pretty much star-struck right now. I can't believe this is coming out of my mouth. Nonetheless, Ben Barnes is really hot! He got really amazing eyes man! However, Narnia 2 was only pretty alright. Nothing fantastic about it.

William Moseley & Ben Barnes

(premiere of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian at the Village Rivoli Cinema East Hawthorn)

Girls out there, if you have yet to catch Sex And The City do catch it soon! It's really really fantastic! Thank god it has managed to upkeep the reputation of the series =)

2008-06-04T11:45:00.002+08:00

I almost got a panic attack when I was loading into RMIT website in the afternoon. Having my dad beside me was making it worse. Anyway, my results are alright. Perhaps it was because I kind of expected myself to do pretty well in 1 of the module but it fell below my expectation. Well, I definitely have to buck up from next semester onwards...

Zzzz...

Dragged myself down to training today since I have yet to go gym this week and had promised Gab that I'll go. I thought my performance wasn't that bad, just super bad! haha! I almost forget everything about all those locks and bars. Well, it's just for fun to train nowadays so I kind of heck care how I fare now. hehe!

Alrighty (that's so SATC S4), I need some beauty sleep to replenish all my energy I've used today man!

2008-05-28T23:55:00.003+08:00

The best antidote to move on is to let go; and that's I'm going to do...

2008-05-21T22:59:00.002+08:00

I just have to announce that...

I'm a LEGAL DRIVER!

All I need now is a car! hehe!

2008-05-15T17:40:00.003+08:00

Lesson learnt: Never hit to gym the same day if you wanna club & never have an interview the day after you clubbed.

My muscles are screaming like hell when i woke up just now! Crap. I should just have slacked at home yesterday. Well, I do feel healthy today cause of the aching though I'm not. My voice just turned hoarser than yesterday. Shit.

Guess who I saw yesterday at Phuture? Zhen Hao! Yeah, the Mankey! haha! He's still as tall and tanned as ever. We were both equally surprised to catch up with each other at Phuture I guess. haha! He got the 'Oh my god! You're here?!' face according to Canni. hahaha!

Anyway, I seriously think I'm in need of a massage!

2008-05-12T21:46:00.002+08:00

Is self-deception that keep us going on these days?

I can't stop wondering about it and relating it to myself after completed Jodi Picoult's The Tenth Circle.

I tried to convince myself that being adaptable and flexible has helped us come so far and successful in this competitive world. But have we taken it too far and lose ourselves? Have it become impossible for us to embrace our true identity again?

Brought my new toy out to play today with my lovely babes.

my new toy!

Headed to Ramen Santouka @ The Central for dinner to in celebration of 'exam-is-over' and my belated birthday!

After hearing so much from my cousin talking about the Shoyu (Soy Sauce) ramen, I decided to give it a try. And yes, it is really awesome! The soup especially. Yum! This is like the 1st time I actually finish the soup of a ramen! But Jes didn't really like the spicy soup. Anyway, the ramen isgood, pork is super tender and soup is simply delicious. The salmon & salmon roe rice is also a must try side dish. The taste of freshness just spreads in your mouth when u burst the roes!

set meal

salmon + roe rice

shoyu ramen

spicy ramen

2nd year at Haagen Daz Clark Quay for ice-cream after dinner. Service is still as good, ice-cream is delicious & company is great! Thanks for the lovely card & present my dearies!

PS: I've loaded all the other pictures on Facebook!

2008-05-06T23:38:00.005+08:00

Dragon-boated at Kallang today!

The weather was good super good as well. It's not that sunny and it didn't rain too! Got a bit of tan but not burnt =)

Too bad I haven't bought my camera yet so no pictures for you guys. Anyway, the outing was dragon-boating was super fun!!! We had the 10 men boat filled up with Canni, Marie, Dawn, Lay Theng, Ian, Wei Da, Hairi, CK, Jai Ming (the organizer), Rong Ming (Jai Ming's brother, one of the guys in Junior Home Decor that was aired in Channel 8) & me of course. hehe! Well, besides the fun, it was pretty enriching as we were taught some of the drills and different strokes.

The place just reminds me of the other time when the NYJC Judo Team took part in the dragon-boat event...

Oh man, I miss those days!

Okok, back to the outing. We headed to this new Kallang Entertainment Centre for Iron Man after our KFC lunch. I must say, the movie is really cool. Especially the 3D computer technology when he was making the upgraded suit. That's so so neat! Stay on after the credit (which is super duper long) as there will be this short segment which possibly suggest a sequence.

While waiting for my next outing to occur, I better hit the gym, read some books and get back to have some serious revision on my German!

2008-05-06T00:33:00.002+08:00

Exams are finally over for me!!!

Well, this is like the 1st major exam I have since the A's and the sense of accomplishment is there. I'm just glad I got over it.

That means more time for catching up on my reading and gym sessions!

Alrighty, I better crash soon or else I'm going to be late for my Dragon-boating session @ Kallang!

2008-05-01T22:06:00.002+08:00

3 down, 1 more to go.

However, I'm desperately finding a way to study the last paper - Business Computing.

Well, I did try studying for it the whole afternoon, but I ended up in eBay and Live Journal. Everything sounds a hell alien to me and it sucks.

I seriously don't find a point in me being tested in this!

2008-04-28T20:53:00.000+08:00

OB paper killed me today.

2 more papers to go...

2008-04-23T23:44:00.003+08:00

Thanks for all the lovely blessings =)

Well, parties and celebrations will have to wait till the 5th of May.

Damn the exams.

ROAR!

2008-04-22T22:31:00.002+08:00

It's either I have weird dreams or none.

Anyway, yesterday was a weird one.

It must be the exam stress~

2008-04-15T14:40:00.002+08:00

Introducing my cutie pies!

Matthew

(engrossed in 'need for speed')

Caleb

(loves playing with my phone)

Ada & Caleb

(Ada: loves hugging & kissing Matthew)

Never fail to make my day =)

2008-04-11T00:27:00.005+08:00

I'm loosing touch with my German man! Gosh. Perhaps I should just find a German boyfriend like what my other course-mates suggested =p

Kidding!

It had been 2nd week since the intensive mugging had started and I'm feeling the drain of it. Well, 2 more weeks to the 1st paper and 5 more weeks to my holidays! Can't wait for it to end! Oh, and my birthday is coming which I still have no plans for it =(

Talking about birthday, Happy Birthday Adeline!

Doubt she'll see this since she's in Phuket right now. I'm damn envious man! haha!

Here are some of the photos during the last 2 gatherings:

with kaixin @ Miss Clarity

pam, canni, ade

seb, misha, misha's bf

vivi!

@ wala celebrating ade's 21st

Thank god of the M&P gatherings we were having for the last couple of days that keep my mind off from all the mugging. I just had to add the last picture of Vi & Seb in. Tt's a real classic. Hahaha!

Going to crash now or else Dr. Tang will be upset if I'm late for my dental appointment with her...

2008-04-07T21:24:00.008+08:00

Thanks to my dear Jeslin efficient uploading of photos, we finally can have the pictures of our gathering session so soon! Cheers! hahaha! Unfortunately, Candy had to visit her grandpa in the hospital. Well, hope her grandpa will have a speedy recovery =)

We headed to Waraku de Pasta @ The Central last Friday for dinner and the queue there was freaking long! Please, please please, don't ever go there if you didn't have any reservation. We waited for almost 2 darn hours to get seated! This is so crazy and not worthwhile. But, my dear Jes wanted to have meal there and since that gathering was meant to celebrate her birthday...

I'm such a nice friend right? tsktsk!

I hate waiting!!!

Roar!

We got our seats at last! Yay!

We came out with this ingenious plan on how we're going to plan our 21st next year while chilling out at IndoChine. hehhee! Wait till Candy knows about it!

2008-03-30T20:01:00.000+08:00

2008-03-29T22:26:00.002+08:00

I've finally got over and done with my OB assignments for this semester!

Yippee!

Well, there's still one more BC assignment for me to complete which I've no idea what needs to be done right now. The lecturer just loves telling us what to do during the last lecture before the submission. Fuck it. I'm just going ignore the assignment for now. hehehe!

The submission on the final OB assignment is calling out to my to embrace the temptations out there but the thought of the nearing of the exam is screwing me up. What's even worse is that my BIRTHDAY is 2 days before my first paper! The only consolation is that the paper is Business Statistics....

Looks can be really deceiving!

2008-03-20T21:58:00.007+08:00

I was mugging at Clark Quay Starbucks today (it's a long story how I ended there) when this really cute guy caught my eyes! Looking at his features, he looks like some Korean or Taiwanese chap. Really nice nose and pretty eyes he has (though they are quite small). In fact, he looks kind of like Wu Zun from the Taiwanese boyband, Fahrenheit. Yeah, Taiwanese just have the ability to come out with weird names for their bands.

Anyway, he was sitting really near my couch with these bunch of fugly girls. I suddenly got this weird thought of wanting to know how he sounded like (I was plucked in, as usual). Well, it was the dumbest thing I ever done so far. It was to my horror to figure out that he isn't any Korean or Taiwanese but CHINESE! CHINESE CHINESE! He became pretty much of a turn-off at that instant. Gosh, I was utterly disappointed! But, that definitely explained the presence of those fugly girls. Why the hell didn't I figure that out?!

Good Friday tomorrow and I'm heading to pay my respect for my paternal great-grandparents, grandparents and 2nd aunt. It's kind of a tradition for my cousins to pay their respects on Good Friday and I'll be crashing the visit with my parents this year! It'll be the first time to visit my aunt since her burial last year. I'm looking forward to check how her tombstone look like when it's done and furnished...

2008-03-16T00:46:00.002+08:00

AHHHH!!!

I just realize my German Test results had been lying in my Junk Mail folder for 1 days!

Alright, I pass the test but the results weren't that amazing. The results are so drastic for my hearing, reading, writing and speaking sections. In conclusion, either I simply can't understand German announcements or I'm daydreaming during my listening. You decide. Here's my sucky scores for you to gloat at:

	max. Punkte	you:
Hören	15	3
Lesen	15	9
Schreiben	15	15
Sprechen	15	14
Gesamt	60	41

2008-03-11T23:38:00.002+08:00

I'm finally done with my A1 Deutsch Test!

Did I ever mention before I hate the listening part of the test? The answers that are provided are so close and it's hard to make out what the hell they're saying especially if there isn't any repeats for the announcement. I got a feeling I'm just going to fair rather badly for that.

Anyway, the results will be out in a few days time. According to one of the repeats, instead of having 'Distinction', 'Merit' or 'Pass', my actual score of the test will be on the certificate! Damn! Imagine if I just kind of brush through the test, it will be so badly reflected on my paper!

In the meantime, 1 more test to go...

2008-03-09T23:42:00.003+08:00

I didn't get my camera in the end of the 4 days of IT Show. Fuck it.

I went on Thursday to look around and finally set my mind to get the pink Panasonic FX33. All the administration and payment was done then the promoter came to tell me there's no pink one when he promised earlier there is! I was damn pissed with him and decided not to get any afterall.

Hence, I went around to look collect more brochures and finally decided on Canon Ixsus 80.

Since I thought that today is the last day of the IT Show, the retailers may throw in more freeebies. I headed straight to the Canon booth after my IA revision with great anticipation.

'Can I have the pink Ixsus 80?' I questioned excitedly.

'Sorry, it's sold out.'

'What the fuck?' I mumbled under my breath. I try looking at the others that he offered but find no interest in them in the end. I think I'd 'fallen in love' with 80 and really want it. Boohoohoo!

Well, it may be a sign from the above that I should save the money on camera as someone may eventually get it for me. Although my birthday is like 1 month away but it's not necessary to find a reason to get a gift for me!

Finally Simonopoly is over!

It'd been a bloody tiring day considered that I had to walk around town like 9 in the morning to play games which I didn't intend to sign up for. It was a last minute thing that I know I had to play. But the point is, even though my team was slacking around half of the time, it was still tiring! I can't imagine the other groups who actually travelled around and participate enthusiastically.

Alright, next week is going to be a hectic week by the look of the events that are coming up:

Launching of publicity for RMITzaar for the entire week
German A1 Exam on Tuesday
OB Group meeting on Wednesday
Judo training on Wednesday (optional)
IA Test on Friday
JieMeis' outing on Saturday

I'm totally packed for the entire week for Christ's sake! Don't be mistaken, I'm not complaining but just amazed that what I week I'm going to have. Perhaps it's a good idea that I didn't gone out to party right now or else it'll probably distract me from the workload that's piling in front of me.

Guess what? I'm looking forward to next weekend right now when everything is going to be over and be done with. hahahahaha!

That was one of the many interesting stuff I found while I was surfing aimlessly a while ago. It was like the most unfruitful day for studying ever. I woke up super late and felt lethargic, Alright, I managed to find some super cool sites such as Taverne Agency & Couch Surfing.

If you like photography, Taverne is the next big thing after Getty. At least that's what I think. The photos are divided into 4 main categories which are: Interior, Food, Travel, Themes & Concepts. Here's one for your sneak preview:

If you're into traveling and bag-packing, Couch Surfing (CS) is definitely a site that you must go to check out first. I got to know this site through Sally (one of my friend in German class) as she had gone for a solo bag-packing trip last year in Germany with much help from the site. Shortly after, CS was on the news as one of the things to look out for in this 2008. Basically, CS is about crashing over at someone's place while you're on a trip overseas for free. And it really surprise me that the community is so large! However, it is not necessary to host them especially for people like me who have restrictions to living conditions.

Alright, I better get going with my German revision right now.

Happy New Year my dear readers!

It's the 3rd day of CNY and I'm glad the visiting of relatives is finally done. I have an enormous family for both paternal and maternal side and in fact, 3 days of visiting doesn't include everyone. Ang Pao collection wise was quite good. Besides ang paos, and irritating relatives to entertain, I managed to catch up with some of my cousins and nephews.

My favourite nephews, Matthew & Caleb, looking ultra undressed as they just woke up =)

Matthew is the cool and introvert type while Caleb's the hyper and extrovert one. Well, I can't say who I love more cause they're so different and I love the difference! It makes them unique.
*muahx*

Alright, I got this plan to invest some of my ang pao money in a new camera and I'm deciding between a Sony T-10 and Panasonic FX-33:

Functions for both cameras are pretty similar. In fact, prices are same and both are made in Japan. The main differences are:

1) Sony is touch-screen which I don't really favour.

2) Panasonic comes with 25mm wide angle hence can capture 'bigger scene'.

3) Sony is sleeker.

4) Sony seems to be a better brand when it comes to camera.

I need some advices man! Sony or Panasonic?

On the other hand, maybe I shall wait till April. Hopefully someone can decide for me and get it as my birthday present! hahaha!

I'm finally done with 5th February!

It'd been the longest and most tiring day ever since school has started. There was IA (Introductory Accounting) in the morning followed by BS (Business Statistics) in the afternoon and lastly German at night! Okay, at least CNY eve is here (not that I feel the festive mood yet) and that means holidays and break!

Well, we finally got to see our local lecturers for IA & BS today as previous chapters were visiting lectures. They should have just taught us from the start man! Sophia Ji was so bloody unclear and I don't think what they (Sophia & Ashton) taught us were really relevant to the exam questions.

Anyway, Sami (lecturer for BS) has this super strong Indian accent and the way he teaches is so hilarious! Every time he wants to emphasis on a word or phrase, he will repeats it at least 3 times in his extra-strong Indian accent; occasionally talking to himself and has all sorts of weird actions to go along with. The fishy hand movement for positive/negative skew is super funny! Sometimes I wonder if he knows we're laughing at his accent. hehe!

She's amazed that she actually finished the 1st draft. Well, it was after much advise and pressure given to her. Pressure seems to be a good motivation for her these days. Nonetheless, she is still pretty hesitant on the product she produced. After all, it was the first in almost 1 year.

The call from the vice-president had confirmed her entry into the RMIT student council. She is looking forward to the 'investiture day' which involves a stay-over in some chalet and the announcement of which department she will be posted to.

Meantime, she is excited about the activities that are lined up for her during the weekend. The girl deserves a small treat before she continues her mugging again =)

It's Pleasing The Eyes Day for me!

First were the nice Getty images I found (which explains the change in the my Blog picture) and now these!

Don't they remind you of some of the famous fairy tales stories? They're are from this website which Shiya had shown me. They are so darn cool and the brand is named after me!

She ought to start on her assignment tomorrow after slacking around for the entire weekend. Being in the house just makes her so distracted and tired...

She's glad that the cadet is fine. Though not as mobile as before, but definitely fine enough to fool around as usual. "What an asshole he can be", she thought to herself.

In the meantime, the OB assignment and Deutsch Hausaufgarben (German Homework) are calling out to her...
