Photography is fun!

I had fun taking beautiful flowers at the Garden Festival which was held on 17th December 2006. I have selected some of the photos for you all to enjoy! Being an amateur, please pardon me if my photos are lousy. Hee hee...

Recently, have been watching this Japanese drama <1 リットルの涙> (1 litre of tear). Really wish to recommended this wonderful drama to everyone. It is a drama based on true story & it's so touching that I couldn't stop crying (T_T) & now my dustbin is full of tissues!

I guarantee that you won't regret spending about 11 hours (11 episodes) sitting there watching cos it's really a warmth hearted drama that shouldn't be missed & don't worry Japanese dramas aren't so draggy!

I'm gonna watch the 2nd time. Oh my! I simply love this drama! The soundtracks are nice too!

Just had a long chat with an old friend. We were chatting on a very serious topic which made me think a lot & also reminded me that I am not young anymore.

We were chatting on our life so far & what we are thinking about our life in the future.

For we only live once & I realised we have different values.

He told me he prefers to have his life to be in a fast paced so that he won't regret when he look back. As for me, I told him I prefer to slow down once in a while to enjoy my life & spend time for myself.

Maybe to him by slowing down is a waste of time but I know that I don't want to live my life working all the time & when I look back, I regretted that I didn't slow down to appreciate my life & the things around me. Most importantly, to have time to think & reflect on many many stuffs when I never have the time to think.

He also told me: "You will only feel happiness after you experienced unhappiness."

True, I don't deny.

But, isn't happiness subjective? Everyone interpret their happiness differently.

Maybe my happiness is just to do what I want to do? Freedom? Maybe...

I told him, actually I'm not looking forward to graduate. I don't want to work, work & work. I want some time to do what I want to do & I know it can't be done when I start to work. However, I also realised that maybe somewhere in my heart....

I'm running away too....

SO angry now!

Imagine you are eating your dinner halfway and someone clear away your food, how will you feel? & imagine you are sooooo hungry and you discover they didn't leave any rice for you, how will you feel?

That happened to me! & I'm burning with anger right now! Just tell me if you don't want me to eat at home! Don't treat me in this way!

I was happily eating yesterday & later left the plate with the rest of my food on the table while watching tv, intending to continue eating after that. Later I saw my mum put all those junk foods onto my plate!!!! I was so angry for not asking me whether I still want it or not! I was so angry that I just dashed back to my room and sleep, since she didn't want me to eat. FINE!

Today, when I wanted to get some rice for dinner from my last 1/2 meal since yesterday night, (can you imagine my how hungry I was?) there wasn't any more rice left for me! I was damn angry! My stupid brother ate 2 plates! He ate my share!

I decided not to eat at home tomorrow! Since they didn't want me to!

FINE FINE!!!!!! ARGGGGGG......................................................................

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!

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~~~~~~~~

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...
