*Faint* Whoever created this game must be a pervert!

Oh my ~

Finally I'm able to blog! I was having problem creating new post previously so eventually, I decided to send a "help email" to the blogger team and they really helped me with my problem! Really appreciate it!

So many things happened for the past 2 months and I couldn't blog to share them all!

I guess I have to upload my cruise photos soon but not today.

Anyway, I just took my JLPT level 4 today. After stopping lesson for a year, I have to depend entirely on my self discipline to revise my work. To be honest, I didn't revise consistently which I have a whole year to do that. I only REALLY started revising after my school exam and REALLY serious in revising was when I started to panic yesterday only! Ha ha and I won't be surprise if I fail this round again.

By the way, I had a bad day today and I was late for my test! This is what happened..(It's a long story! sorry for this super long post)

I woke up super early today to revise and I managed to leave my house at 12.30pm to my test location which was at Upper Changi Road. My test started at 2.20pm and we were supposed to reach there 1/2 an hour earlier.

I took a train to Tanan Merah and reached there at 1.40pm and I thought it was still early so I changed my plan from taking a cab down to the Japanese school to taking a bus. My nightmare started! I took the wrong side of the bus direction, I was heading towards Bedok, which means the direction back home!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worst is I only realised it after the bus reached Bedok MRT station and I sensed something was wrong, I alighted the bus immediately. The time was 1.50pm already!

I quickly crossed over to the other side to take a cab and the queue was so long and there wasn't any empty cabs around!!!!!!!! Time passed so quickly , I waited till 2pm. Finally I decided to call a cab! The cab arrived around 3 minutes later, I was so happy BUT there were so many traffic lights along the way and unfortunately they were always in red when I approached. To make thing worst, the traffic was super slow due to those rich singaporeans having too much money to buy cars and nothing much to do on a sunday afternoon so they decided to play slowing traffic game. The time was then already 2.20pm!!!! I suddenly had an urge to ask the cab driver to stop the car as the test had already started... my heart really sank to the bottom! However, part of me still prayed real hard to be able to reach there at about 2.25pm and I might still have some hope that they will let me in.

My prayer was answered! I really reached there around 2.24pm and the security guard at the main gate asked me to hurry up! I felt the stone in my heart gone at that moment! However, I couldn't find my classroom!!! ha ha I think I took about 5 minutes to search for my classroom, I walked round the whole level!

When finally I found my classroom, the test had already started and I left about 20 minutes to finish my paper, I quickly sat down and started reading and writing. Luckily the front part was very easy so I had no problem catching up with the rest and I even have ample time to check through my answers.

I don't have much confident I'll pass this test as my grammar part I did badly but nevertheless, I did try instead of not even trying. Even if I failed, I will still try again next year till I pass! Ha ha That's my spirit!

Anyway, I'm grateful that my prayer was answered. Really thankful to my god when I was stucked in a situation where I wasn't able to control and no human was able to control. Oh! and to the cab driver who answered to my request to speed up after knowing I was late for my test! Ha ha and he even apologised for unable to send me there on time! It wasn't even his fault at all!!! Time to write a compliment letter to Comfort! Ha ha!!!

*Yawn* I'm sleepy. Tomorrow still have to work.... SIANZ!!!!! Good night! More blogging to do!!! Yeah~

"As long as there are tests, there will be prayers in schools"

I'm back from a 3 days 2 nights cruise on Star Virgo.

The ship was huge and beautiful. As for the room, I personally think that the size was fine but my brothers think that it was too small for them, especially the bathroom.

On the ship, there were 2 worries which were bothering me throughout the tour. One of them was my Happie, I couldn't stop worrying about how they are treating my Happie or is Happie feeling sad without me around and I also missed her so badly.

Another worry was my assignment. I had to stayed up late to finish my assignment which I brought along but in the end I still couldn't finish. Luckily with the precious help from my friend YJ (Thanks a million), I managed to submit on Friday even though I didn't really finished it and the essay was in a real mess. However, I only hope that I won't fail .. I'll be contented.

AThough I had brought worries along to the cruise but I had great fun on the ship. Haven't download the photos yet so no photos at the moment. (We brought 4 cameras along!)

P.S. Friday 13th was really a very bad day for me. Luckily it was over...

"Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent." ~ Langston Coleman

Just got home after bringing Happie for walk walk.

On my way back home, met two ah bengs walking past us & one made a comment:

"CB, so big!" (should know what CB means so no need to elaborate huh)

Sigh~~~ I'm DEFINITELY pissed off!

Really cannot stand such a shallow & ignorant remark. Two reasons for that.

Firstly, why must an ah beng always starts his sentence with CB all the time? Jealous he doesn't have huh? Or is it a symbolic term for ah bengs? Sounds so uneducated... & to put it in an ugly way, CRUDE!

Secondly, before you make any comments, can you please build up your knowledge first! If my Happie is considered as a big dog, then Alaskan Malamute is what? Giant???

I believe he won't even know what is an Alaskan Malamute or even ever seen one before. *faint*

Sigh~~~ PATHETIC life.

Government is spending so much money developing libraries & it's obvious that that guy never fully utilise them.

Anyway, making such a comment only show his shallowness! My advice to him is that if possible, "SHUT YOUR BIG GAP!"

So unlucky to live in the same neighbourhood with such a person!

"There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating--people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing." ~ Oscar Wilde

Suddenly thought of someone today...

Inspiration rushes out like running tap.

This is my 2nd one. Copyright hor!

幸福過後 作詞: 陳惠玉

電話聲响起時 我知道那一定是你
一句溫暖話語 直往心中幸福區域
不管天涯海角 只要你在身邊就好
心里甜甜滋味 因為是你所以加倍

想說一聲謝謝你曾給過的一切
雖然所有的美夢已經被你破滅
從今以後只能選擇一個人逛街
最後只希望你能好好和我告別

電話再次响起 我知道不會再是你
沒有溫暖話語 心中圍繞孤單區域
不管天涯海角 只要你還過的很好
心里苦澀滋味 因為是你所以加倍

Finally!!! I left only MR test on Friday...

Aja! Aja! Fighting!!!

On my way home today.... I found an attractive, strikingly beautiful purple piece of $2 note lying on the floor. Instantly, my eyes brightened up!!! @@

Without doubt, it's now lying inside my wallet. :)

Thanks GOD!!!

"Good luck needs no explanation." ~ Shirley Temple Black

Sigh...........

She lost it after three days I bought for her.

Sad & disappointed that she doesn't cherish & appreciate it.

She once lost a pair of earring I bought for her too but that was very cheap so I let it go... but this time, it was considered expensive to me.

I swear not to buy anything expensive for her from now on....

she didn't even apologise... I felt so unappreciated...

To her, it was so insignificant compared to the pearl that my brother bought when mine is more expensive than her little pearl.

SIGH~~~~~~~~

"The greatest need of every human being is the need for appreciation. ~ Unknown

I was opening my present with a pouted mouth & caught Charlotte smiling happily!!!

Trying to guess what was inside the box... Nothing fragile... hmmm....

Really had no idea at all...I gave up...

Whatever you call it...

Finally I have it!

Feel free to write anything you want but hopefully no nonsense advertisements... *Pray*

I shall be the first to start!!! :P

Still couldn't appreciate red wine at all even after my wine appreciation session.

But we had fun tasting different kind of wines... Sparkling wine, white wine & red wine.

I guess I really don't have the ability to differentiate wine.

The speaker, Tommy told us to write down what we see, smell & taste from those different type of wine. However all my answers to the smell & taste are "Alcohol"!

Whereas the others could give answers like apple, pear, peach, pineapple, antique furniture, earthy, salty, grassy etc.

I don't even have a clue how antique furniture & earthy smell like!

Tommy asked us do we know Michael Porter (Marketing students should know who he is) & we all thought that he wanted to say Harry Potter! Isn't it funny?

"A man of great common sense and good taste--meaning thereby a man without originality or moral courage. " ~ George Bernard Shaw

My LM project is going to due next week & we aren't even halfway done.

Slow progress!

Sigh~ I really can't find anymore COMPETENCE's articles!!!

Finally a group photo! By the way, we weren't slacking....

See!!! I have evidence showing that we were very studious that day!

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." ~ Aristotle

"The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche

YOUR RELATIONSHIP STYLE
The first step in discovering your best match is getting a clear picture of your own relationship style. Good or bad, your experiences with your parents -- in childhood and adulthood -- play a key role in establishing your relationship style and the kind of person who you're best suited for now. Based on your experiences, you will probably fall naturally into one of three categories:

Isolator: If you are an Isolator, you need a lot of personal space. Isolators minimize emotion, are often guarded and unconsciously push people away, keeping them at a distance.

Fuser: If you are a Fuser, you have an insatiable appetite for closeness and don't like being alone. Fusers crave attention and are sometimes described as clingy.

Ambivalent: If you are an Ambivalent, you are a little bit of both. Ambivalents like to pull away, yet they want to feel close at the same time. They can also be confusing and hard to read.


I AM AN AMBIVALENT!

YOUR CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
Your childhood experiences show that you are an Ambivalent. As a child, you probably received plenty of love and affection from your parents but were also allowed to form your own sense of independence. Your parents may have upset you and let you down at times, but your childhood needs were essentially met. Therefore, as an adult, you have traits that are common in both Isolators and Fusers, two polar opposites. This means that your relationship style includes many interesting contradictions. You've been known to both push people away and expect them to dote on you at the same time. Freedom is just as appealing to you as being showered with affection.

YOUR PERFECT PARTNER
As an Ambivalent, you're uniquely qualified to have a successful relationship with a partner from either category: Fusers or Isolators.In your case, "happily ever after" depends on which role you find yourself adopting more often. If you're usually the outgoing one in the relationship, often seeking affection and attention, you're more of a Fuser. This means that your perfect partner is actually your opposite type, an Isolator. You may have guessed just the contrary, that your best match would be someone who would shower you with all the love and affection you crave. But happiness for you means partnering with someone who will respect your privacy and support you when you want to do independent activities, much like your parents did.If you're often a private person who likes her space, you're more of an Isolator. This means that your perfect partner is actually your opposite type, a Fuser. Contrary to what you might have thought, your best match is not someone who gives you all the space and freedom you crave. Instead, your best bet for long-term happiness is partnering with someone who dotes on you, someone who shows his affection and expresses his emotions easily and often, just as your parents did.

I think I'm more often an isolator...

Where is my Fuser???

"Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds." ~ Hugh Elliott

It's now 3.25am, 6th August 2006.

Reached home around 2.30am after eating tau huey & you tiao at Geylang & watching a midnight show at JP.

I watched "Click" by Adam Sandler

*Yawn* *tired*

It was a nice movie. I really like it. It was funny, touching & meaningful. Highly recommended!

However I didn't cry during those sad scenes... which I thought I will...

This movie made me reflect a lot on myself.

Come to think of it... I have NEVER ever told my mum & dad that I love them... not even once...

Sad huh!? Traditional chinese family...

Instead, I always tell my mum not to bother me when I'm doing my work or watching tv & I refused to chat with her...

AND, I always get impatient when my dad asked me to help him check something on internet or when he asked me to teach him how to use the computer.

I'm a bad child .. I think I really do take my family for granted sometimes.

I will never have a 2nd chance to live my life like Michael Newman. :(

It's never too late to realise I'm wrong huh.

"Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." ~ William James

Yay!!! Yixin & Weixiang ended up together!

Although I know this ending last week but still happy to see them together!

Actually, Guobin is also quite pathetic....

however, my classmates & I still support Yixin & Weixiang... (We like Elvin, you see...)

BIAS!!!

HA HA NO CHOICE!!!

(Adapted from: Mediacorp website)

I really like all the Adidas jackets he wore in the show...

I wanna get one too! Hee hee

"The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." ~ Henry Van Dyke

Finally I had my KTV session after so many months!!!

Had so much fun with my classmates & most importantly it cost only $10.50 for 5 hours!

Sang a lot out of tune songs & tortured all their ears badly!!! Haha...

I wanna go again.... ^0^

"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why." ~ Eddie Cantor

... is EXPENSIVE! ~

Went for a complimentary (from my lovely buddy) pedicure yesterday & was told that session cost $25!

However, it was quite enjoyable, my toes seemed to have gone through an extreme makeover & I really love that colour.

See! How easy it is to earn ladies' money... maybe I can consider setting up one too. I'll make big bucks! haha

Actually a few nights ago, I was still thinking maybe I should set up my own business while I'm still young & I spent the night thinking hard and seriously on what kind of business I should go into.

Niche. I kept thinking of this word.

That's an important word to let your business to remain in the market.

I also thought of what I have learned in class, like what kind of strategy will I be using eg. low-cost or differentiation etc.

Should I go in food, fashion or service industry? Most importantly is that I wanna earn ladies' money :P <<---- my target group.
P.S. Guy don't spend as much as ladies except spending it on his wife or girlfriend. In the end, still ladies' money.

ARGGG... my back shoulder is aching now... sign of aging *sob*

Old lady is going to look for Tiger's plaster now....

OH! Maybe I can design some kind of trendy medicated plasters. Hee hee...

Guys will never care whether the plasters are pretty or not...

The creamy mushroom shell pasta was delicious but kinda expensive for a poor student like me...

"The devil is an optimist if he thinks he can make people worse than they are." ~ Karl Kraus

Didn't update my blog for quite sometimes...

I was slacking......

Last Friday, I had a minor wisdom tooth surgery. My dentist was Dr Chew from AH.
I can say he was not too bad but the only problem was he pronounced my name wrongly.

He pronounced my name as "Yeke" and SEPARATELY somemore! :(

Before stepping into the surgery room, I felt sleepy from the 1 hour of waiting but after being called to check my blood pressure, my body started to feel nervous. The nurse said I was well prepared for the surgery after checking my blood pressure!

The surgery room looked like surgery room... Actually I had imagined it to be like the normal dentist type of room.

I was told to lie down on the bed & the nurse covered my body & face with the green surgery cloths you always see on tv but mine had a hole for my mouth & nose to breathe. After a while Dr Chew came and asked me how I was doing, was I scare...etc. (Not bad right?) Later, he started to inject anesthetic into my gums...*OUCH* that was really painful! Few minutes later, my mouth was numbed.

The surgery began.....

I felt pressure on my jaw when he pressed hard to pull out my teeth..... it was ok to me ... actually the most tormenting moment was the drilling part.... the drilling sound was killing me mentally! I was shaking but I still managed to answer him when he asked me "are you ok?". The time seemed to stop during the drilling process.... "when will it end?" I kept thinking in my head.

Finally!!!~~~ The surgery ended after around 40 minutes.

My nightmare was over!

My gum is swollen now & I look like a pig head. :(

It doesn't hurt ... just swollen & have to eat soft food.

My mum, dad & my brother laughed at me & I don't dare to go out.

Poor pig head Casey....*sobs*

"You see things; and you say "Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?”~ G. B. Shaw

Today, I was woken up by my dad's loud voice for breakfast. *Yawn* so sleepy.... & that was when my nightmare began...

I wonder when will my breakfast torture ends... I feel so tormenting to wake up every MORNING!

Later in the day, met up with my secondary school mates for coffee session, we decided to go Holland Village's Coffee Club. One of the waiter there do really worth the service charge. Service personnels please learn from him!

After the coffee session, I went to eat my all time favourite hotdog bun in Ikea! Felt so satisfying. Hee hee... But this round I only ate one, I'm surprised!

Normally, I'll eat two!

I was quite sad too for not getting the shoe rack which I wanted to get for months.

It was out of stock!

Ikea shouldn't allow out of stock to happen!

So disappointed... Sigh!

Felt so sleepy now after a long day outside... *Yawn* My nightmare will repeat tomorrow...

*SOBS*

"Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives." ~ William Dement

Life is so boring without any goals.

Without knowing what to do everyday & how to pass my days... it is so meaningless & waste of time!

I guess, I'm not suitable to be a housewife in future.

Ironically, sometimes I do enjoy the feeling of "I'm the boss of time" .

Worst of all is I'm staying at home with my one month on-leave dad, housewife mum & on-holiday brother!

You must be wondering why is it worst right?

I'm forced to wake up early to eat breakfast with my family by my dad. :(
That's my worst nightmare! I can't wake up early! I'm a vampire recarnation...

Oh yes, my dad bought me an air-con. Yay! I won't have any hot day & tough time during my study week anymore. Congrats me!!! Thanks. :)

I'm having friend-sick now. Miss talking to my classmates & 2 special friends ~~~

I Miss school too!

Oh~~ just kidding only!!! hee hee

I'm not having buddy-sick coz I get to meet them often haha

I'm also not having love-sick coz I don't have one. So fortunate...hee hee

So slack, so lazy now... 2+ weeks to go!

"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. ~ Ben Stein

This is my 1st blog using my "new" computer!!!

This computer has been giving me trouble since it arrived here...

Finally fixed it & hope it doesn't give me any more problem... *pray hard*

One question still lingers in my head...

Was it John or Mary Magdalene?

"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 NIV).

What a lonely friday night with my dog, bird & 2 tortoises at home.

The only friend whom I know will wait at MSN for me is having headache & has to rest early tonight.

Nobody is online on such a lonely friday night...

Hmmm... have an urge not to attend someone's wedding tomorrow coz don't know what to wear & most importantly is I'm too broke.

Listening to Kiroro's Best Friend now.... nice song ... repeating it many many many times.

I've to go back to my Prices & Market now...

After the long & stressful 3 hours of OTD exam, my heart sighed several times & my hand felt so tired!

Finally, the two killer papers are over & next will be my favourite lecturer, Manfred's Prices & Market.

There's also a super good news... which is I got a HD for my OTD's pair project! So happy that I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that result. Thanks Sherman!!! Oh! I have to thank SL Goh too! He helped me too much on this project.

Sigh... I really miss my KTV's session but feel so broke financially & emotionally.

Since there's a job call financial planner, is there a job call emotional planner?

An emotional planner will help me plan my emotion & when it reach maturity date, I will be able to receive my principal amount of emotion + my interest. Oh my, isn't it great?!

Hmmm... so how to calculate required rate of return for emotions?

Required rate of return = nominal risk free interest rate + risk premium

So will I receive more emotions if I take more risk? Is there any risk free emotion to invest?

Suddenly, investment become so interesting to me........ weird!

I wonder are there any mentally planner too? Hmmmmm.......

"An investment is the current commitment of resources for a period of time in expectation of receiving future resources greater than the current outlay."

1st May 2006, Labour Day.

Today is Clairer's convocation day.

This is the day in my 25 years of life that I first stepped into Jade in Fullerton Hotel.

Oh my god, Fullerton Hotel is so grand!

This is also the day in my 25 years of life that I ever tried a little little bit of goose's liver, the rest of the goose's liver was passed to Clairer's dad.

Couldn't convince myself to eat the goose's liver which Karen told me it tasted like beancurb.

Really have to thank Jean, Clairer's sister for that sumptuous meal!

I'm having sore and swollen eye now... *sobs*

Thanks to that dirty contact len....

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." ~ Albert Einstein

My childhood's ambition was to become a ZooKeeper!!! Don't believe???

I'm telling the truth!!!

I told this to my mum many many years back & she told me that only foreigners become zookeepers cos the job is tough.

My mum was wrong.. Singaporean become zookeepers too cos they also love animals!

I went for the Docent (latin word for "teach") interview yesterday. It is a volunteer program organised by the Zoo.

A Docent's responsibility is to educate visitors about animal conservation.

Though being a Docent, my contact with animals won't be a lot but to be able to help those poor animals, I'm satisfied.

The best of all is the training program, I will have a chance to attach to zookeepers!!!! Isn't it great?!!!

After the interview, my classmates & I went to tour around the Zoo, Free-of-Charge! hee hee

We took a lot of pictures & saw a lot of cute & awesome animals.

I kinda like the white tigers, polar bears, penguins, meerkats, elephants....actually all of them!!!
Oh!!! EXCEPT that cockroach's relatives!!! made my hair stand just by looking at them! Yucks!

The most amazing "animals" I saw were the camouflage frogs, we took a long time to spot them! Superb camouflage skill...

The most responsible animals I saw were the meerkats, they firmly did their "lookout" duties despite our irritating disturbance. Salute!!!

The most huggable animal I saw was the polar bear, it was so cute when its white furry legs were above the water while diving into the water to catch the fish. So furry, so huggable!!! hee hee hee

The most disturbance act I saw was those irritating visitors who banged the glass windows to attract the attention of the animals. Please don't do that!!! You are disturbing the animals!

Visitors really need to be fully educated to treat the animals well. They are already very pathetic to be caged up, why add in their misery?

Question: What do you know about animal conservation?

Think about it....

"Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character; and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

Today, someone told me Love is a beautiful word.

I thought to myself, "Is love really a beautiful word?".

My answer is "No".

I told him, "Love is ugly" and "Love is hurting".

He told me that people have to learn to forgive.

I told him, "No! People have to learn self healing".

It's a cruel thing to ask for forgiveness when our wounds are still as deep.

People can only learn to forgive other people after all their wounds are healed...

however some wounds can never be healed...

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said
"Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late, I've something to do, that cannot wait"

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
And the crowd roared as they started the race
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
"Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die"

And in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
"Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die

SO SAD!!!

I've lost one side of my ear-ring again!!!

This is the 2nd time that I've lost one side of my NEW ear-ring.

Maybe I only have fate to wear all my NEW ear-ring once.

That's very sad huh.

Feeling sick since yesterday noon. Went in & out of toilet so many times till I can't remember.

Having fever too...

Yesterday evening : 37.5 degree celsius

This morning : 38.5 degree celsius!!!

Went in & out of toilet for 4 times within 1 hour this morning!

Therefore, finally decided not to attend work & went to see the doctor

The doctor said I ate the wrong stuffs. What did I eat for lunch yesterday?

Hmmm.... Maybe the culprit is the tuna sandwich which I made for myself!

My mum laughed at me for trying to save money for lunch yet in the end I still have to pay $22 to see the doctor for eating the wrong stuffs!

Life's hard.... *sigh*

Oh no! 6 days more to go yet I still haven't get ready my x'mas gifts!!!!

I really have no idea what to get for my gift exchange session.

*cracking brain*

I prefer to get stuffs that are practical & useful but aren't easy to get nice, affordable, practical stuffs. True? True?

Went shopping at JP with my parents on saturday & we spent $114.41 on John Little alone!!!

Hmmm.. Me & my mum bought affordable Maybelline cosmestics there hee hee, my dad bought 2 shirts & we got a box of Hush Puppies brief for my elder brother.

That was all! So little yet all added up to $114.41!

Stop this inflation!!!

I really can't buy much with $50 now!!!

Feel so broke suddenly...
