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*

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!

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...

I don't have to worry anymore, cause you will be by my side when I cry

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....

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
Tell Laura I love her..... ..... ..... "

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...

"We wish you a Merry X'mas, we wish you a Merry X'mas..."



So boring!!!

The part time job I'm working now is damn boring cos I'm the only person tending the booth & I really feel like an idiot standing there, smiling at everyone I see. *Sigh* I feel like I'm selling *smile* to earn that pathetic income. Luckily, those guys who tend the booths nearby always come & chat with me or else I really feel like dying there, bored to death!!!!

If you guys have the intention of going to Big Boyz Toyz fair, come & look for me!!!!! However, in my own opinion, it's a waste of $10 entrance fee to visit this fair, might as well go to the SITEX fair which is Free of Charge & has more things to see!!!

I really hate the dress code for this part time job, no Jeans!!!!! My favourite attire is t-shirt & jeans & my boss has forbidded me to wear jeans!!!!

Still have 2 days to go.........!!!!!!!! KILL ME!!!!

"Life is really boring."

Attended a wedding dinner at Sentosa Shangri-La Hotel today & luckily I managed to catch their ROM ceremony by the sea on time, it was really romantic!

The pretty bride was my old neighbour, know her since I was about 5 years old. We attended the same kindergarten, primary school & secondary school but we are not really that close. As for the bridegroom, he was my ex-classmate, know him since I was 13 years old. Actually, I'm closer to him than to his bride coz we were in the same class during secondary 3 & 4 & we are both the crappy types of people so can clicked quite well. Ha ha!

My old neighbour + My ex-classmate = Blissful Marriage !!! (Haha my new formula)

I guess nobody had imagine they will get married to each other one day during secondary school time! It seems like I had watch this couple growing up from small little kids to husband & wife now, sounds amazing right?!

I'm really happy for this newly wedd couple & wishing them "live happily ever after in the castle of their own."

During the dinner, I was arranged to sit with my ex-classmates, all from the same class as me during secondary 3 & 4 & I happened to sit beside one ex-classmate who I used to had a crush on! (By the way, he said I'm getting prettier! Haha! *shy*) In the washroom, Karen kept asking me whether am I feeling nervous sitting beside him & I replied NO!!! That crush was donkey years back & it was a short term crush only!!! Anyway, it's was really nice to be able to gather with them again & had a lot of fun talking about those funny & interesting incidents that happened in our class. 3E5/4E5 Rox!!!


However, there was this one ex-school mate who kept spoiling my mood, she said hurting words at the first moment she saw me! She said, " Hey, you getting fatter leh!" My mood sank to the bottom when I heard this!!! Karen consoled me that it's her character of being so straight & asked me not to take it to heart BUT she said something worse when she came to our table in the middle of the dinner, she said, " You are really getting fatter leh & it's that glutton type of fat! you know, glutton!?" Oh my goodness! Even Karen also couldn't stand it! Hey! it really sounds so insulting to hear these from someone who is fatter than me!

Anyway, when my ex-crush asked me to eat more, I told him that someone already said I'm fat , he said, "who? who? Is it him? (he pointed at my another ex-classmate who was of course innocent) If he say you fat then you tell him his head is so big!" Ha ha, he was so humorous & really brightened up my mood. Actually, if I didn't remember wrongly this was the first time I ever talked so much with him. Quite fruitful huh! Ha ha!

Tomorrow is my buddy's birthday so she arranged her celebration to be held in Club MoMo today. Haven't been clubbing for almost 9 months & it was the first time that I went to Club MoMo. Held high expectation for Club MoMo but it disappointed me, the music there was really sucks! They kept playing the same kind of music throughout the whole night. It was so boring!

However, I got to know a lot of my buddy's friends but I can only remember 1 person's name, I had forgotten the rest of them! Ha ha!!!

Got approached by a few 21 years old guys who thought I was only 20 years old! Ha ha should I feel happy? I did!

On the way to S11 for supper, we met our ex-school mate who happened to eat supper there. It was such a coincidence! We chatted till around 5am & then we took a taxi back home together. I reached my place around 5.45am & I met a few guys near my block & there was this guy (think around 18 years old) who was walking in front of me, not bad looking wearing hip hop style, kept turning his head to look at me. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment!!! I was so scared that he thought I was those bar girl who had knocked off & was heading home! Actually, I know it was really weird to see a girl at that time of the day but it was also quite weird to see them at that time of the day!

I was really dead beat!!!! Nobody was able to wake me up that morning for breakfast! Ha ha!!!

"Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you. "~Wally 'Famous' Amos

Feel so slack these few days, I can't find any other jobs except one that starts next week & only lasts for 4 days, which mean I can't earn much from it!

Went to library yesterday while waiting for my mum who was doing free health thermal bed massage. Haven't been reading novel for quite some time so I borrowed 4 novels, 3 chinese romance novels & 1 english story book which was by Roald Dahl.

Talking about Roald Dahl, he reminded me of "BFG", "Matilda" & "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". They are children's books, right? Thus, automatically, I will think Roald Dahl as a children's book author, am I right to think that way? The book I had borrowed yesterday, which is "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life", with a cute cartoon cow on the coverpage which looks like it was written for children but when I started reading the first few pages, I was stunned! It wrote about the process of a cow & bull mating & was written quite precisely. I really couldn't believe that it was written for children! Imagine a ten years old kid reading it, oh my goodness! Am I really wrong to think that Roald Dahl is a children's book author? But the book is full of pictures and medium sized words, so I can't be wrong. Maybe you will say, mating is a very natural process but I still don't think it should be included in a children novel. Nevertheless, I will finish reading it, I might be wrong & I really hope my perception of this book is wrong coz I really like Roald Dahl's works!

Anyway, I decided to change to read the chinese novel first, it was really nice reading a novel in the room alone with no one disturbing you & I managed to finish reading one novel today, it has a sad ending. Sigh... even the unrealistic world can't give me an unrealistic dream. Realistic world is already very cruel & unrealistic world still wanna add in my misery. Still, it was a nice novel.

Bought the clothes that I'm going to wear for my friend's wedding (I feel so broke now!). Really need to slim down a bit to look nice on it.

Actually, I had intended to go jogging around 6pm today but the weather forbidded me to do so, it started to rain about 4pm. I think the "weather" does not want me to slim down. *sobs* *sobs*

I hate Rain!!!

But....

I like this Rain!!!



Especially this Rain...


Ha Ha! I know I know! Too many Rain recently, just can't help it... he's toooooo cute!!!

"I do I do wanna spend my life with you" Lyrics in I Do by Rain (hee hee hee)


Went to fetch my buddy today with Karen & my buddy's boyfriend. She has finally graduated after 2 years studies in Brisbane & she's going to be a future landscape architect.

*Sigh* My mum reminded me that I still have 1-1/2 years to go & that's really old when I graduated. However, it's really contradicting whenever I ask myself whether do I enjoy studying. Actually, I really do love the free time I have after class, gaining new knowledge & doing projects but I really hate to take exams! My brain is never meant for exams. Why can't the system change to 100% project based? haha! In my dreams, maybe!

Anyway, back to the topic, after fetching my buddy, we went for dinner at ES, Holland Village. This was the first time I ever met such a soft spoken waiter! Ha ha, you could never imagine how soft & gentle he spoke, I hardly could hear what he said even though he was just beside me!

At there, I ordered a Fish & Chips but they gave me an OILY Fish & Chips... I think I have to go jogging or swimming tomorrow to burn away that sinful fats. SO SINFUL!

By the way, I really hope my Chingu is not feeling blue anymore... please be happy, ok!!!

Yeah! I had finally finished watching Full House, 浪漫满屋 (풀하우스) !
It took me about 17 hours to finish watching it.



Love this romance story! Love the casts! Love the house! Love the Bears Family song! Love the ghostly call of Lee Young-jae! Simply love everything in this drama! Ha ha!



This house belong to Han Ji-eun & Lee Young-jae. Nice right? Click this link to see the interior decorations! This house is really beautiful.

The casts in this drama acted very well, especially Song Hye-kyo & Rain. They made me laugh real hard & made me cry so many times *sobs* *sobs* & they really look super cute in this drama!


Ha ha! Isn't Rain cute???!!!

Highly recommended to people who love korean drama. Hmm.. I'm gonna watch 2nd time!!! AJA AJA! FIGHTING!

Oh my god! I'm feel so bloated now!!!

Just came home with a bloated stomach from Heeren Sakae sushi buffet!!!
I ate 7 plates of sushi, 1 handroll, 1 chawanmushi & drank 2 cups of green tea... & this linner (lunch + dinner) cost me $17.20, consider cheap? Nevertheless, I had a wonderful meal! Ha ha!

Today is really a fruitful day! Firstly, it is the last day of my paper!!!! Secondly, today is Chu Xian's birthday eve and lastly, we heard a wonderful news which is, Miss Yujia, my friend is finally and happily attached to a future doctor!!! Triple happiness!!! However, one demoralising news is that I still have to prepare for my JLPT 4 which will be held on 4th December & by hook or by crook, I MUST pass this test.

Tomorrow I will have another lunch date with the same group of friends excluding that Miss Charlotte coz she will be working. We are going to have a steamboat session tomorrow...Yummy!!! After my steamboat session, I will be going for an interview for a part time job, really hope to get that job coz I'm really very broke! Hee hee

"Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion. "


Tomorrow is my last paper! Yay!!!

but...

I'm not even halfway done with my revision!!! Argggggg.......

The moment I had memorised THIS, I forgot THAT...

Then I memorised THAT again, I forgot THIS!!!

Sigh... never ending revision. I can NEVER memorise notes even if you give me 10 years...

Conclusion: My brain is never meant for memorising!

HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!
