finally got some decent time to relax and enjoy myself these two days... first was the impromptu dinner with Jer back at his house. trust me when I say its impromptu. I was just texting him abt how we didn't get to see each other over the weekend cos of each other's schedule and he called home to ask his dad to cook my share. lol.

I like his dad's cooking but I just don't want to appear like I kp going there for meals, 麻烦人家... you know? And I am very impressed by men who can cook, and here in that household they have two (: Yesterday's dinner was nice! chicken chop! then after that we were just chatting in his room with his sis and occasionally they'll be engaged in some 'fight' which is very entertaining to watch. haha...

today was shopping with mum and my aunt. and today I was tickled by something I noticed about the two of them. Well, when we go JB to shop we always take care not to stand out from the crowd, jeans+shirt... nothing fanciful. But today my aunt took a Louis Vuitton paper bag, and my mum a Hugo Boss one. They didn't know it cos they can't read English... I just find it funny that after trying to appear low profile, they pick a paper bag that screams 'BRANDED STUFF!'. hahaha... anyway I let them know so next time they won't pick the same paper bag again.

oh... and another impromptu plan after my meeting in sch later. Movie with Jer & Melanie (his sis)! (:



That's my bro's cap - a present from his friends cos he spent his 20th birthday on Tekong. He's much tanner now. And I think more sensible too... though no less my bro cos we have our usual 'bickering' here and there when he's back :P

was watching F1 over my psychology textbook and laptop and I can't help remembering the powerful engines that I heard on Friday night when we were outside Fullerton with josey & co. Just standing there and drowning in the excitement of the crowd & the F1 fever. Even the air seems more tense. And while standing there and just listening and trying to catch glimpses of the blurry images of the cars zooming past, my heartbeat inevitably raced. a historical moment, in jer's words. haha... how true! and I'm glad I caught the race tonight, so many twists and 'surprises'.



anyway, I am also amazed at the number of people who have professed their love for me recently (真不要脸!) Wanting and Minshan... hahahaha.



dearest minshan, I didn't tell you thanks for your company at the dinner that day. Impromptu but I was literally dying to fly to JP and meet you for dinner for some 好朋友-therapy amidst all the meetings and projects. Cos we can bitch to one another without holding back! hahaha. oh well, I'll still be me no matter what gal. The fellow taurean you can bitch to (: *big hug*

my dinner on Fri @ TCC, Circular Rd

remember the cute korean twins of our family friend? that's my fave one in the picture during CNY one or two yrs back. Gosh, look at my long hair and no-braces smile. That's like so long ago.

heard that their dad recently suffered a relapse of an old injury to his back, and was plagued by severe backaches. which is quite bad cos he's running a Korean restaurant and needs to be constantly on his feet. But he doesn't have his medicine here cos he didn't bring it over to Singapore when he came over.

His mum, seventy over years old, flew over all the way from S. Korea with the medicine for her dear son. My god, that's 母爱的伟大. She insisted on personally flying over, even though she's of some age herself...

I think if I were the son, I'll be feeling much, much better even before I take the medicine.

its amazing how much difference 25 minutes at 2am+ can do. I was willing and glad to be woken up by it.

anyway... I just sorta reserved a kimono top from Nafang's shopblog. Supposedly can wear it to Pong's 21st. But then come on... it could be just an excuse for me to shop :P Double O... I noe the drinks are very cheap there, but I've nt been there b4. But then again gal, you have not stepped foot into any club in Singapore yet...

oh, I just sent an email trying to change the situation of receiving '3rd party' information. I was told it would be helpless. But I like to at least know that I've tried my best to tweak the situation to my 'advantage'. I do believe there should be some respect. I am working WITH him. Not working FOR him. So I don't like the idea of him passing me info. Well, the 'advantage' is only receiving info from the horse's mouth, and leading to more work. LOL. yeah... I know I'm talking weird. Bear with me.

and I'm predicting this weekend before the end of recess to be pretty dull. except that tml, on my bro's request, we are going to Mac's for breakfast. Nice~

the record is now at 1 hour and almost 40 minutes. I hope nobody breaks that record and no more attempts of doing so again.

I seriously don't like the idea of being told what to do by a third party. Its like the 2nd time today, and although the medium was a better choice this time... I still do not like the whole idea of it. Why should you 'ask' me to do work through another person? What's so difficult abt sending a copy of the sms or CC-ing me the email. That said, actually CC-ing in itself is already a prob.

I'm going to bear with it for the time being and see how the 'messenger' delivers the messages. If the 'messenger' should get cocky you can expect me to shoot an email over...

What a Friday night...

rainy days make me crave for two things....

coffee

and...

你的肩膀是我豁达的天堂

tired but happy from the day's events. saw this line of lyrics from 郭静's《下一个天亮》and it just made me thought of...

Jeremy!

hehe. no surprise there huh. coming to our 3rd month soon... time really flies. so much has happened but I do not regret my decision when I looked back (:

see you on Friday!

had a super fun night (: first time I'm out with this grp of friends and I'm looking fwd to more such outings! Yesterday was joyce's 21st and we decided to meet her for dinner in town. Oh, my fave Waraku restaurant at Cuppage is closed and moved to Heerens instead. The restaurant there is not bad too, very spacious and the service of the staff is very gd! (well except for the fact that our surprise was sorta ruined cos the waiter leaked it out, lol.)

I love this shot! I forgot what was Lionel laughing so hard about that his eyes almost 'closed', but I thought me & Qiuru looked damn happy!

And wanting here was damn high during KTV I spent most of the first song 第一天 laughing at her enthusiasm.

"Shuhui!!!唱! 第一天什么??"

LOL. I wouldn't mind going KBox with you again gal. I'll charge my cam till full full then prepare to be entertained. many more photos with Joyce and Qiuru...

Dearest BTMF, glad you enjoyed yourself ytd (: we all have to go back Waraku again b4 end of Oct and I cant wait! haha.

on a side note, I suddenly have tml free. no meeting. I really shld use it to study for my quiz on Monday... but I got a feeling I'll be slacking it away :X hope I find the motivation to study tml!

I woke up this morning feeling like I've aged a whole ten years just in one night. I worked till 4am this morning... and viwawaed for 1/2 hr. Because even though I was so tired I couldn't really slp. The 'after-effects' of listening to the earpiece for god-knows-how-many hours kept my head swirling & buzzing with the content of the interview.

ZZzzz

And this morning as usual, my eyes officially opened at 8+... ARGH, again! After I nua-ed till 10 in bed trying to rest some more... I took this cold shower that I totally heart. it made super a lot of difference... And I love myself smelling so good after the Body Shop body scrub, woots!

I'm so not going to touch work till tml, for the CESIM meeting... I wanna take a gd break today! And we're going out for dinner in town cos its dear Joyce's 21st (: which reminds me, I had this terrible urge to go out and shop just now while showering. I want to buy new flats! (although I still can't wear them... I just tried) I want to get a new wallet! New clothes!

maybe... maybe tml after the meeting :P

I don't remember ever working so hard and late into the night for quite some time now. Maybe its cos I was never this pressed to meet the deadline. Well, I'm one week behind... and honestly, the prof didn't even email me to acknowledge my work etc. I wonder what's happened... what if I'm rushing all this for nothing?! That thought did flash thru my mind. But I just want to get it over and done with so it'll stop bothering me.

I'm left with the last bit, but I'm finding it hard to move on. Tired. of sitting at my laptop the whole day. Of rushing back to my com whenever I am doing other stuff other than transcription to get it done. Of having the earphones in my ear. Of straining my ears to hear the damn woman who speaks so softly/quickly in the stupid cassette tape. I seriously wonder why they had to use a cassette for this. the audio quality is horrible and its delaying my progress.

But I don't want to leave it till next morning. I want to finish it before I slp! Argh. I neeeeed some motivation badly, body's protesting & weariness is washing over me.

shall listen to a song that'll keep me awake...

yay! I'm finally working on the last of my transcriptions... hopefully I'll be able to finish it today and then move on to other things that need to be done!

decided that I wanted to slp early last night cos my weekend wasn't spent wisely catching up on slp, but on activities that kept me up till late at night :P hee. well, since its the hols I cant bear to slp early. But still, I was woken up in the middle of the night by the thunderstorm. Unlike my bro who can slp thru the worst thunderstorm like a pig, I will be woken up no matter how tired I may be.

And yeah, honestly, I hate to lie there in bed while the storm raged on. Cos I'm those that wakes up easily but is difficult to get back to slp. I swear I wasn't dreaming, but I thought I heard my mum turn the key in my door to unlock it. (yeah, I have a habit of slping with my door locked :P) She used to do that when I was younger, just to chk if I was ok and the windows are closed. And she haven't done it for a long time, so I thought it was weird. and I heard the 'tock' sound of the door being unlocked but not the knob being turned. which she wld usually do if she was chking on me.

:S

Of cos I asked my mum if she came to my door this morning, but she said she didn't. Ahhh. Whatever, let's not think about what really happened anymore...

lalala.

Well, spent a few hrs with Jer before his soccer match started last night... (: I like quality time spent. But this recess I'm also striving for 'quantity' becos I think I'll be crazily busy after recess... BH325's project got another small hiccup, and we called for another 'emergency' meeting tml morning. We can't take anymore 'surprises' for now, its too close to the deadline. And quoting one of the most famous lines always mentioned in my fave show, Project Runway...

'Make it work!'

almost scared myself out of my chair while I was doing transcription just now. The interviewee is rather soft on this audio so naturally I turned up the volume a little, such that the background sounds etc are a little louder too. So while I was damn engrossed trying to catch the last sentence, this unfamiliar ringtone suddenly rang.

I seriously... literally just jumped in my seat. Cos my phone definitely doesn't sound like that. And the fact that its so loud it just caught me off guard. That's when I realised...

Its the damn phone in the INTERVIEW.

for goodness's sake, I was scared half out of my wits due to some stupid phone that isn't even in my room. lol. I think its all because of Dawson's story last night. Man, it still sends shivers up my spine when I think about it.

and one more thing is disturbing me lately. the nagging thought that my little toe is still not fully recovered yet. it still aches once in a while if I am not careful while walking. And that day I was damn sad by the fact that I can't even wear my black flats properly. I was half-limping with my right legt stepping on the back of my shoe - cos I cant wear it without feeling the pain in my toe.

and of cos the next day, being stubborn me, I tried to wear shoes again. this time round my white open-toe heels. ARGH. the pain is worse, I didn't even dare try 'forcing' my foot in.

shucks. let's hope it gets well soon. I don't like always wearing sandals n slippers to sch.

friday night was spent first in settler's cafe in Holland V (: there was some warming up needed at first... Arts Central people were filming there, and I certainly hope the footage they got of us wont be put on screen. lol. I think after the filming people left, we were more 'natural' & gradually the fun kicked in? haha.

forfeit time!

after settler's we had some drinks... followed by supper at crystal jade's. bumped into people frm Hall 2 having their night cycling trip, was trying to look out for people like hf and yuhao... but gosh, there were too many people and my eyes were dead tired. and we reached home like 3+ this morning? hehe. fell flat into bed, tired but happy (: (but my usual happened - woke up at 8 =_="")

I seriously dunno how I managed to pull thru the past week. One of my busiest so far I guess... On Thurs alone, we had 8.30am lecture, quiz, subcomm interviews and ending with a meeting that lasted till 1.30am...

For once I'm going to screen through my appointments next week and only note the gatherings/dinner/meet-up sessions (: woots! Oh, and not to mention there might be impromptu ones? *winks

tuesday: Joyce's 21st - dinner w uni friends

thursday: dinner with CS/华会 friends... (:

friday: another meet-up with Gladys & co!

yesterday I stole some of my revision time to spend some time with Jer. ok, dont worry, my priorities are still right... Sch's still impt... Its just that the quiz is MCQ and the things I had left were recent seminar stuff :P

Eh, and he was so 'evil' to tempt me with a root beer float later on when we were back in his house. 要肥就一起肥... haha.

anyway, finally, finally its recess week. we were all so up to our neck that I was just struggling to keep up with all the work and deadlines. Gosh... now that I can finally rest... I have to rush all e transcriptions before Monday... that's quite a load of work (and determination) needed. I'll just deal with it tml before... I finally get to meet up with my colleagues in Holland V in the evening... woohoo! Settlers' Cafe... I've never been there before, hope it'll be fun (: Jer & Gladys were asking like oh where I wanna go and stuff... to be honest, anywhere is fine. I just want to get away from all the work!

Recess week is here, I somehow know its going to be a busy but fulfilling one...

**********************************************

had a new experience of interviewing our juniors for the subcomm today... well we were all damn tired cos we had a quiz earlier and everyone's been tired out (I think this is the 1001st time I used this word this week, lol) and we had to cover some interviewers as well. Why I think I interviewed 5 or 6?

But I think the candidates got v gd portfolio! Some of them are even more 'accomplished' than me, gosh. haha... and I'm glad we could agree on the final candidates. Look forward to working with them. New blood means new ideas... and new people to share the workload *keke

Monday has never seemed to be bluer. First thing in the morning that greeted me when I woke up were the cooling sprays of rain from my opened window. It made me so reluctant to wake up. Today is totally packed till even after classes end at 4.30pm. And like I was telling Jer, for us, work doesn't end when the clock reads 5.30pm. It merely goes on to another strenuous period of preparation for tutorials, quizzes, presentations and what-nots.

All around us in school today, we saw fellow NBS people clad in their smart, formal wear. Another glaring reminder to me of my impending presentation on Wednesday. Argh... We need a break, most importantly we need a life la!

Am using Friday to motivate myself this week. Chilling out with Gladys & co. after their work. Oh, and the deadline to submit ALL my transcriptions is supposed to be today. I emailed my Prof to say I would be late last week and till now I havent heard from her. Its starting to worry me. What if I don't get paid if I miss the deadline?! And I think I'll only be free this weekend to do anything about it. Imagine... a meeting on Thurs at 11pm?! Haha... we're squeezing things in any time possible and making the best out of our recess.

And yes, my planner's filling up with activities for the recess already.

With project meetingsssss.

somehow I am more worried about my presentation on Wed rather than the quiz on Thurs. Well, both are for BH325 and carries significant amount of the entire course grade... but I think its the insecurity of having to present after such a long period of time. Presentations are supposed to be one of my stronger points... (note: stronger. in comparison to other sch stuff only.) but I think the possible lack of time to prepare for it sort of unsettles me.

let's see what do we have for this week?

Monday: HP308 meeting
Tuesday: BH325 meeting - prepare for presentation!
Wednesday: THE presentation
Thursday: THE quiz (which needs much to be prepared)

And I'm so looking fwd to the recess week. Though I'm expecting it to be filled up with FYP and preparing for more quiz & presentations... at least we don't have lessons!

oh ya, the song is still in my head (: lurve it!

its amazing how a song can totally change my mood... love this...



Its from the channel 8 show. Actually they got some other nice songs in the show too. But this is my personal favourite. <<一直都在>>

heard in some movie that... the most frequently word used in love letters is 'miss' and not 'love'. It speaks volumes doesn't it... haha. absence really makes the heart fonder (:

and yes, I cant say I agree with it more. Oh, I just wanted to pen it down my thoughts tt's all... we've just seen each other ytd... its not like he's flying somewhere again, haha.

feeling better after a break away from work last nite, thks to my understanding team-mates! though still coughing, at least its not THAT painful now. days of coughing left me with some sort of an ache in the chest :S

anyway, sent my bro off to the 'island resort' in Tekong just this morning. The day that he's been dreading is finally here. OK la, i purposely 'grumbled' one last time that its all his fault I gotta wake up so early. Haha, if I don't do it, next time he wont be home as much le!

well, the living standards there are very much better than in the past so I'm not worried abt that. I was just wondering if my bro who slacked off and did not exercise much (his only exercise is concentrated mainly in his fingers when he play games or SMS) will be able to take the training? But then again, b4 poly his NAPFA were all Gold (yes, he took the trouble to remind me that) so I don't think it'll be very big of a prob. Just have to get back the momentum.

Anyway, they showed this video of how training will be like in the subsequent weeks... and a lot of it reminded me of our SJAB days! I know the training is of cos, not as tough... but the bonding, teamwork, marching/drills and stuff... I realised that I do miss it afterall. haha... still rem bits and pieces of our times then, it certainly was fun... so I hope my bro can find it the same, despite the fact that they're being trained up.

Oh, and I suddenly thought of alot of things I wanted to remind him. So during lunch break I took the pain to rattle everything to him. And he didn't complain... :P

"Don't you dare pick up smoking I tell you, I won't be the first one to nag"

"Ya, I know la, I don't want and I'm not so stupid to get myself into the nagging"

"And you better be more alert, don't be so blur can? Later you sabo your platoonmates you won't get a good time either"

"Monkey see, monkey do lo..."

"My friend say your company like one of the shiong-est in School 1 leh, you better get yourselves prepared. But he also say it shldn't be that tough, since you are the batch who failed NAPFA."

"Do you have to remind me of that?"

That's us la, haha... We like to find opportunities to suan each other. LOL. let's see how our house will change without him here for 2 weeks...

was just engaging in one of those chats with my mum, telling her how we all felt that final year is even more demanding and by the end of the semester we may already be too tired out by the semester's slogging to revise properly.

'then come home earlier when you go out lo'

Might as well cage me up and throw away the key.

how come to her everything can link back to coming back home early?! can't she see that I was telling her how stressed out me and my classmates are, and all she can think about is me coming back home earlier. can't she say encouraging stuff or whatever that's more pleasant to the ears?!

Tuesday night when I just started coughing, I was also up late till about 1am to finish off some work. And next morning when I say I'm tired, she said accusingly that I shld have slept earlier. what?!?! if my bro stays up cos he's playing his PSP doesn't mean I stay up to play around either. ARGH! I wasn't being over-sensitive ok, she really thought I was just staying up and not wanting to slp. I thought she should know better that I was working cos recently I've been telling her I got projects to rush. So of cos I was pissed la, I couldn't help raising my voice. Then only did she tell me to get some Brand's if I'm tired.

What. One dozen of that wont appease me either.

Having the irritating cough pestering me is enough, and still she says things like that that really gets on my nerves. I'm not expecting her to read my mind you know, I let her know that I'm busy recently and I thought she would be more sensitive. But noooo. I find myself in the same stupid situation again.

Which reminds me, tml onwards my bro won't be home for most of the week. So I can expect more of these in future.

*current mood: FOUL

最近, 周围的人都忙得一团糟... 我也不例外.
而大家忙起来, 不是病倒... 心情不好, 就是会比较有'怨言'

咳. 我好累! 又咳嗽了. 当我忙了一天, 好不容易躺在被窝里想睡时,
那讨厌的咳嗽让我无法入眠. 所以睡眠不足咯...

今天本来挺高兴的. (而且星期一的快乐也还在持续着, 哈哈!)
我们的STRATEGY SIMULATION GAME成绩出卢了, 而我们也拿到了NO. 1!
虽然, 游戏还有五局, 但至少我们的辛苦没白费. 也是一个很好的推动力吧!

可是... 我们的PROJECT出了大问题... =_=""
我们正在找两个公司做我们的PROJECT, 而教授对此也有很多要求.
好不容易找到了一个愿意合作的公司, 现在却因为种种原因他们不可以帮我们了!
在一个星期里如何找到两个符合条件的公司呢?!?!

都这么忙了, 我们真的快被这个PROJECT烦死了. DEADLINES, PRESENTATIONS, QUIZ!

..............................................................................................................

忙得不可开交时, 我会以不同的方式发泄. 又或许是解压吧.

但因为星期日是中秋节, 突然好想跟以前一样, 到处去点蜡烛哦!

好啦, 别逃避了. BACK TO WORK...

if one transcription takes 6-8 hours. how many will 2.5 transcriptions take?

At least 16 hours. Which will be almost a day.

I have to finish those before Monday, not including tons other lil' stuff that I have to do before next week. I emailed my Prof that I can't meet the deadline and she hasn't replied back yet. Is that good news or not?

Let's see...

Tonight: BH325 slides for tml's meeting
Thurs: BH325 meeting
Fri: Interview with a Jap MNC at 3pm; CESIM simulation game meeting at 8pm
Sat: Send bro off to 2 yrs of army

And we got the mid-term quiz to study for next Thurs. Aahad said its till next Wed's content, how evil is that! And for some unknown reason, I had this itchy feeling in my throat since mon, and I've been coughing again. WTH. I thought I just recovered from a bad cough not too long ago?! I couldn't slp properly last nite cos of this, despite being tired out from rushing the transcription.

But... But... My mood is still up cos I am still happy from the fact that he's back. hahaha. ya la, I'm irritating right. But if it can keep me going why not... I'll try to find time for you, no matter what I will (:

starting the day early means more posts a day. like I said b4, my bio clock seems to be pretty tuned to waking up at 7am. So much so that even on my free day - like today for instance - I was already awake BEFORE 7am. My body likes to wake up b4 the alarm once it tunes in to it. So even when I want to slp in, I ended up waking at 7+. which means, technically, I will never be late for sch.

yeah, seeing its my free day of cos I nua-ed in bed. did some mind-boggling transcription ( I am way behind time...) and headed down to JP. Cos John Little's having sale and... I needed to buy some new lingerie. haha. and just down the row is Body Shop... so total damage for today : $150. yeah... I know... *glance at hole in pocket. But, I'll be getting my pay soon after I turn in my work for the research project, yay!

and I like to introduce my new friend...

Xiao Feng/晓凤

Haha! its a pair (: 晓龙 is with Jer... I didn't expect him to get sth like that. But of cos... I love it.

everything was perfect ytd, after sch that is :P everything went according to wad I planned. Bought my usual 8 Days to accompany me on the train.

Ok, talk abt the train ride, maybe its not that perfect afterall. After the first few stops, this Indian lady sat down beside me. And quite a sizeable one, mind you. Look, I got nothing against Indians and I'm certainly not racist. But I really cannot stand the smell she carried with her. So much so that while reading the mag, I had to turn my head frequently to my right to catch some fresh air. Seriously... if not everytime I inhale, I smell this.... dunno how to describe it. Anyway, I thought it'll be very bad if I changed seats just like that.

But after a while, this auntie sat down on my right, and I was sandwiched between the pungent smell that doesn't go away and the occasional rubbing of the auntie's head while she dozed off. That's it... I endured till Outram and just stood up to take a seat opposite. *gasps for fresh air!

And back to my perfect afternoon... haha. Reached T3 after 430 and got my coffee bean then strolled to the belt. It was then did I realised that he may not be there, cos I don't see any HK flight from SQ. And yeah, indeed, it was at T2. But well, its less than 5 mins away from the sky train. And I didn't have to wait long for him...

Jer really bought alot of things... haha. I got my jacket and polo tee (: but sadly I cant wear the skirt he bought, even if diet also cannot wear it. Unless u saw off the sides of my hip bone. LOL. yeah, the hip area... but I'm still happyyyyy! The whole night was just dinner, chatting & catching up... with him, his sis, his cousin, etc. Its a good break away from the books, and since weekends I had done so much... I deserve a break don't I? :P

but yeah, in the midst of the joy of having him back, yes... I still remember my deadlines... BOO.

you guys remember the game Ghost Squad we played on sx's Wii ytd? I think it got imprinted into my head cos I like the game alot. So much so that last nite I dreamt I was fighting a war in the jungle, alongside (this is the weird part) thong ler?! hahaha. he wasn't playing with us wad, how come I was fighting a war with him. LOL.

The dream was actually quite funny, I had to leopard crawl in some drain to avoid the enemies and I rem seeing those blue & red laser dots (see?! its the game!!!) darting all around me. Miraculously I didn't die in the game. I woke up in some ward but I couldn't find thong ler. LOL.

anyway, I woke up damn early at 6+ today cos its my 外公's death anniversary. Over the years, other than Chinese New Year, its the only other occasion that we can see alot of relatives gathering around. The aunts will kp saying how tall I've grown. its weird... haha, cos I've always been this height for yrs. then as my nieces & nephews grew up, they'll compare their height with me again. haha. they're funny sometimes.

was hoping to see two of my fave cousins, but they weren't there. One went to play his fave golf game, and another was too busy with her business. Oh well, I can only sms to ask after them (:

feel recharged after slping early last nite, and getting a power nap after the temple visit... 开工咯!

today... is a happy day. unexpectedly caught baby online b4 leaving for my meeting and we caught up a little. Haha, the meeting was surprisingly relaxed cos the we're actually starting early on our case. So we agreed on a structure and decided we shall go back and work on it b4 next meeting. Hopefully, we can settle it fast next week... because we'll also be having a quiz to study for then.


went down to Shuxian's place to play Wii! we almost wanted to buy sushi at the sports complex but decided against it. in the end, our root beer idea was not bad, it was so yummy we all had second helpings! wahaha... and woo... its so fun to try out all those games and compete among ourselves. LOL. conclusion is I'm bad at gymnastics but I can do archery. haha! its been quite long since I meet our nh friends. I really hope after my leg heals we can get that ball game idea rolling, you guys think can or not?

And here's one of the highlight of the day - super hyper Cookie. Somehow he took a liking to me and kept wanting to come over. I was scratched quite badly I think! but no, I still love doggies (and cookie =D)

he was actually looking at e camera, but my hp's cam a bit lag. oops :P

*edited

There's this idiotic freako who added me on MSN, and I thought he's one of my uni frens. You know, those adding that comes when you start new sem and know new people. But he's so not one of them. some horny idiot who's asking me to on my webcam.

Too bad la, chee ko pek, I'm not those kinda gal. And I dont have a webcam. Be careful ladies! I dunno how in the world he got my contact!

I didn't really realised how afraid I am of needles until now. The first time the needle went into my left thumb I was honestly freakin' out. I know its only one needle, but the sudden feel of it poking into the not-so-fleshy part of my thumb is definitely not a good feeling. Plus the numbness that comes after that... I kept asking the chinese physician if the needle can be removed. LOL. until his helper asked me if I was afraid of pain. Nope, its the freakin' needle!




And so today I listen to dear Gladys and go back to the clinic, and this time he poke IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LEFT WRIST! wa lau. he didn't tell me, I thought its the same place. so while he prepared e needle I looked away. EEEKS! I was a bit grossed out that he simply stuck the needle there. I mean its where all people slit when they don wanna live, yucks.

ARGH, see show you. maybe I'm over-reacting to some of you, but I seriously... cannot stand the needle there. oh, mum went too cos some of her old ailments acting up. We're quite a sight when we walked out of the clinic I tell you. I had my right foot bandgaged and hers was her left foot and one of her fingers on her left. LOL.

OK, recently as 13th Sept draws nearer I kept reminding my bro of his impending enlistment into the army. It never fails to irritate him and of cos it adds on to my happiness. hahaha. no la, after that I wont be able to tease him as much wad. One week left for me too. And this morning I was surprised by sth... That day they went to JB without me and went to Secret Recipe to bring back our usual loot of cakes. I told him I wanted cheesecake... only this. But in e end he also chose another slice of mango cake for me. Hey. He knows eh... I mean, its quite an open secret that we both like mango la, esp me. He's nv done sth like that b4, lol. He usually just choose any choc cake cos he knows it'll cfm delight me.

and talking about my bro, he just told us sth that really crack me up. I'm amazed at the ignorance of his friends. Tay Ping Hui was illustrating the origins of mooncake on ch8 after the 7pm show and my bro said his friend told them:

"Mooncake ah... I know! They throw into the river so the fishes wont eat up the hero ma... Right?"

LMAO.

was actually ready to go home after I finish with all my stuff of the day, but xiaomei popped the question to go our fave hangout - Coffee Bean at JP. Ya, now its almost like my weekly date with her. And I just rem that this sat I have to go back there again for my 325 meeting.

anyway, today was our first real meeting with the entire 325 grp, and it was weird to have our sweden friend around. Luckily he's easy to talk to, and yeah... I sorta took up the 'responsibility' to talk to him so that he wont feel neglected. went pretty well, we at least came up with a draft of wad aahad wants. hopefully it'll suffice...

had this long talk with Serene at Macs... Its our first real heart-to-heart talk since we knew each other. yeah, again she broached the topic of MS & me. I know she's concerned, just like shuyi you all... but really. I think by now you all know what is my stand. And I really appreciate that she could see it my way too. It makes talking about it easier in a way. Haha... so ya, dont tell me abt what first step to take, who to take, do what and whatnot.

You guys shld know by now. So yep, let's leave it at that... I don't want to risk getting myself hurt. anymore.

went for my first real networking event in NTU, for a certain established hotel group (: I must say I am impressed by the org, all the GMs turned up and they were very good in delivering their part of the presentation. I always tot such talks were solemn events, oops.



I think the prog's real good, but I think I wont be gd enuff for it. The fast track is really damn fast la. LOL. in 18 mths you'll be an asst manager of a department. Of cos, its sort of like I've been wanting to work in the tourism industry, but i think this is kinda too demanding? Or like Joyce and I were saying... somehow we are not like some of our peers (not just in HRC), I think I don't aim high enough! maybe its cos I know where I stand. hahaha. ah, whatever, these kind of talks make me feel small.



anyway, the reception was good, I like the smoked salmon. quickly snapped a shot of the plate cos its got an interesting design. but the whole plate is quite heavy after placing our glass on it.

Ok, bo skill shot ok, cos there were alot of service crew around, cannot appear too noob right?!

alrighty, I cant wait for this weekend to pass. I'll finish another load of work for the deadlines next week and Jer, Gladys & Wylin will all be back. I think its really fated for me not to go... See... if I were to be gone this weekend, how much work would I be piling for next week. Hai. Oh well, ren le ba shuhui...

still feeling the after-effects in my left hand, havent really regain its strength after the poke. damn, its my first time and I was very nervy. I don't want to go back! but I guess I have to. I'm talking in circles right, don't mind me...

whole day havent been really productive. dunno why, have things to do but I dont feel the sense of urgency yet. Shuhui, shuhui... concentrate will you. Tml is declared 'networking day'! Lunch and dinner provided, only thing is the attire. Hmm... wait till you see me. I'll take pics to show you all what I mean... for now, back to reading my case study. Oh, today no pictures, I'm too cui~

due to many things that happened ytd, was some sort in an emotionally fragile state. couldn't slp though I was tired! was chatting with eric abt the sudden change that happened to us ytd and he suddenly asked... if he died would anyone cry for him? what a question... but of cos I had an answer for it la...

today I'm home alone. Mum & Bro went to JB with 大姨 to buy mooncakes and shop around. I desperately have to do some transcription and submit sth today, if not I don't think I'll be able to meet the deadline next week. And hopefully get some reading done? there's like tons to do... and you know what? next week is already week 6, which means mid-term is coming. But what have I done so far huh?!

I've been hugging the jacket while I hobbled around in my room and was just not in e mood to work. So I decided to take some pics to cheer myself up... I wouldn't say its camwhore la...

so... will anyone, except Jer, cry if I were to die? (HAHA, see la eric...)

Took a test (http://www.helloquizzy.com/results/the-long-scientific-personality-test) as rec by Joyce, MBTI... took a similar one from a link given by Jer too b4, and somehow the results are a bit diff. This one shows more details, perhaps cos there're many more questions. And its surprisingly quite accurate... Here goes...

Your result for The LONG Scientific Personality Test ...

ESFJ-The Provider

You scored 64% I to E, 58% N to S, 29% F to T, and 11% J to P!

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike—and don’t mind saying so—tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don’t care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.As a romantic partner, you work hard to nuture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, commited, and willing to support your frequently overwelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf.

went for my haircut ytd at Millenia Walk, cut another version of bob so my hair's back to the short length again. I like the cut, just not the way she helped me blow. A bit too 'over' - more for like runway rather than a sunday afternoon out. Immediately dashed into the toilet to tame my 'beehive' down :P

oh and xiaomei gave me the notebook she made for me (: ok la, she say this shot not well taken, like dont do justice to her decorating efforts. But it was so rushed leh, haha... nvm la, I like can liao, right? :P Thks alot Jo! I decided I will jot down my personal thoughts inside instead of using it for sch, too precious!

then I finally got my wireless fixed ytd nite too! my cousin came over to set it up again for me, wheeee! and then somehow or rather, I ended up chatting with Gladys & xiaomei at my void deck. Took a lot of shots, silly, funny, normal shots etc. haha, my god, laughing like dunno wad.

that's my feng jie stare. if you irritate me, you'll get this ok? wahaha.

anyway, the rest of this is a 'life-is-unexpected' post. I learnt from colleagues that a GM in my PA company just passed away this morning. dun really know the details, only know that he was out of town and it happened overseas. Hai... I haven't really worked with him but I've seen him around enough in the office to leave an impression...

the time I was silly enough to fall down while looking at him reverse the car. right in front of his entrance. and the time I helped gladys put up the poster just outside his office. he saw us and smiled. omg... life really IS unpredictable...

which reminds me that Jer is overseas too... boo...
