three things i missed abt Singapore (after coming back from my stong trip at 3am today)

1. Clean toilets (proper sanitation)
2. Good food that makes me satiated
3. Lastly, efficient transport system - definitely not railways.(my longest and most gruelling journey on the train if not for awesome peeps to fill up the day)

updates another day!
drained.

ok time for updates!~
i've been employed as a teaching intern at nas...it's been for the past 3 wks.
well i would say that time passes quick. soon it'll be 10 weeks and sch will start yet again.
in brief:
-1st week of the internship has been brisk and eye-opening. went to those N(A) and N(T) classes with my english lang teaching mentor. she's a great cher i must say-compassionate, firm, caring almost all the qualities of a gd teacher you can think of. no wonder she's always been given these challenging classes in e sch. the end of the wk we celebrated (nt such a gd term but cant think of a better one) mr chua (P's) farewell. LA(vp) is like taking over him as P. we spoke more to the current vp than the p. only on his last day did we get to have a quick chat with him...he's like setting up a new sch in sg. sci n tech one and he's gonne be a p again.

- wk 2: meanwhile LA gave us the 'opportunity' to be attached to korean exchange high sch pupils from incheon! well i had a pretty gd experience with all of them and the girls actually gave me farewell gifts on our last day. the prettiest gift i got was this colorful box and in it were stationaries, food, chocs etc! the rest is mostly korean handmade bookmarks. we bought packs of chocs for the 90 of them to share too. :) incheon's principal mistook me twice for being their pupils and spoke to me in korean somemore. he even told LA and LA jokingly told me to follow them back. do i seriously have the korean look? my 2 other interns said i did but my other frens said no. but well if i do i dun mind either! korean or chinese? take ur pick...haha. and the korean DM he's like such a masculine and tough person. whenever he spoke to the students, he commands such respect that i'm amazed- they'll just keep quiet and listen to him just a few sec after he opens his lungs. i dont think such a DM exist in our local context. somehow i think it's our students. they grow up too fast - too mature for their age maybe that's why i don't see the innocence i see in these korean students. they're much older (17 yrs old) than our sec sch students but they behave in such a candid way u wont get to see in our students. well what can i say?cultural difference or the env we were each brought up in? haa.. next time if i get to go korea the DM says we can meet up with him at incheon intl' airport!
had my dance cca session. the girls were practicing for the upcoming tapestry and i helped them to record videos during the practice. recognised afew girls from the classes i'd went to.

-wk 3: which is now. the sch (or rather LA) gave us 2 projs to complete. what a wonderful job! gotta come up with a video n ppt plus planning of an integrated curriculum which might be carried out by ourselves to test water. on top of that, im also starting my lesson plan for nxt term on expository writing. urgh. piles of stuff.
results were released today. wasnt that crazy to camp at 12am to check and i heard from ct that the system was jammed till 1 plus and only hostel ppl get to log in 1st cus it's sch compound. he is one of those kiasu ones who camped, slept super late and got groggy today when we saw him. k well dropped slightly but im still satisfied. will try harder nxt sem! ((: was talking to x abt exchange prog cus she went hk instep.it's pretty fun to hear experiences but im glad i didnt make a haste decision to accept my india trip(with only 1 other person whom i dont know) the previous round so am planning to try for instep n gip nxt sem again... hopefully i can make better choices then. shall see.
at the same time im alr planning what mods to do for nxt sem. econs peepz shall discuss tgt again.

till then!

death, as soon as it occurs, cannot be bad for a person.
because there is no longer a person.
death causes suffering, there is no doubt about that.
but we hate death because we confuse the pain that many feel just before dying. and the grief of those left behind, with death itself.
when i die, i cease to exist.
if i cease to exist, how can death be a bad thing for me?

as epicurus wisely says 'death is of no concern to us, for while we live it is not present, and when death is present, we no longer exist.'

the negative side to death is a lack of life.
and lack of life only matters because of what we can do with it - life in itself has no value.
therefore, life is sacred.
we only desire life above all else, because without life, there is nothing else.

2008-04-26T22:22:00.000+08:00

the evidence we get from the outside world all comes thru our senses.
so if we can doubt what our senses tell us, which we can,
then we can doubt our whole experience of the outside world...

hoho...
i've been mia-ing this blog for 3 months!
anw... i guess it's been pretty eventful ever since sch started-hall prod, smif... my recess wk was gone just like this and yes i felt that i haven't done much...
im trying to work on my creative juices now coming up with a marketable product...sth that is feasible, viable, whatever. i now realise the toughness of this knowing that i'm not a person who's full of ideas...anw i came across this product online "pill towel". it's pretty cool cus it actually comes in the size of a pill and when you need a piece of tissue/towel paper just take the pill out and wet it with a few drops of water and bravo! it turns to a full-sized paper towel. now im thinking of how to incorporate this into a mktg plan...woah.

side-track a lil...
the past wk has been hectic. in fact i think this month is gonna be hectic for me. practically all my mods have projects which are gonna be due end of the month or rather, 2 wks from now. argh. so many unconclusive discussions that we're still working on.

and yea just a few days ago i went for gip interview! and i really really do hope i get to go switzerland-my 1st choice for exchange 1 sem... but then again as i was thinking thru it these few days if i do get it some plans are a lil screwed for next sem.cus im like in the running for iic main comm and if i do get it i cant make my contributions. also, i wont have a room to stay next sem but then again i can re-apply when im back just that im leaving my roomie behind... and im trying to find my subject matches in university of st. gallen which i have a hard time searching thru their webpage cus it's all what's offered last few semesters and im trying to get in touch with their bachelor's program in charge...seriously mind-boggling. i thought my subject coordinator could actually ease my burden but no! so fine.

well well...many many things i cant get it off my head.

i've dug out some pics i've taken for the past year and wanna put it here to see how this turns out.

back from my trip on tues to bkk...here's some highlights:
sat- departed from sg to new bkk's Suvarnabhumi Airport. flight was delayed and alighting there became horribly late. reached hotel near evening time when it's almost time for dinner... wooh. plus service at the new airport was tardy and slow..the immigration officers at the counters were taking their time to check us in and there's this little web cam look-alike thing that u've to look at while u stand in front of the check-in desk, used to detect ur face.. probably cus you might be some kinda international wanted criminals. dinner was sumptuous thai food opposite our hotel.. their green curry there is certainly different from those you would taste in sg's thai restaurants. more flavourful especially to the sour side. seriously their food widens the extremes of ur tastebuds. it's either very sweet, sour or salty. After that, we went to Suan Lum Night Bazaar which our guide recommended.. stuff there is definitely much ex than chatuchak so u gotta bargain ur way through. but it's more spacious i would say compared to chatuchak. we found a really great designer shop whr we got bags n shirts. the designer says he's got lotsa singaporeans and hk shoppers coming to visit his store. he takes part in annual designer's festival all over the world and he's gg new york end of this yr to particate in some fash bash. his website is : http://www.peachpost.com/

we stayed at novotel in siam sq. i would say it's an ideal location especially for youngsters like us. lotsa shops around the area of our hotel but the thing is prices are slightly higher and no bargaining at most shops.has the atmosphere of far east cum bugis street. the area i would say is less rowdy, newer and cleaner then other parts of bkk. the no. 1 uni Chualalongkong University is within walking distance from our hotel. Lots of students in the afternoon and night. malls surrounding our locality are those more classic ones like Siam Paragon, Siam Centre, Siam Discovery Centre, hence, prices are like those u would expect when u walk into any malls in orchard.walking further down is the famous MBK where stuff are cheaper.We got the most things there! also, there are malls like central world and gaysorn plaza which we didn't manage to visit(which i kinda regret..) but heard that stuff are less costly than siam centre prollie ard the MBK range. another interesting thing i noted is that near siam square area there are quite a number of clinics that deals with beauty consultation, lasik etc. it's like those normal GP clinics you'd find in sg and there are always almost filled with patients waiting day and night when we pass by them while shopping. seems that thai ppl are an image-conscious bunch, catching up with the modern society.

sun-since it was free n easy tour, we chose to join the guide to bring us to 2 temples(4-faced buddha + standing buddha) and a gems factory (which is boring for us of course since no one in my family likes this kinda gems stuff). after that it's time for weekend mkt Chatuchak! but it was utterly disappointing. cus the weather there was hot and sultry ard 35 deg. worse than sg's temperature!!:( we walked less than 4 hrs and left. part of the reason was the nature of the place, which is made of tents..it's suffocating to walk thru the entire stretch of shops considering the weather. The fact that Chatuchak is divided into so many sections didn't help at all. The place we stayed longest was in the JJ mall (JJ=chatuchak thai's abbr. for it).haha. cus air-con is still the best in such an unkind weather! when we were abt to cab back to the hotel, it started to rain.. in a way telling us we shld head back and we planned to. rested in hotel and came out in the late evening to have steamboat at MK restaurant in MBK. i always like to go there when in thailand cus it's really cheap for the whole family and they have real gd dishes in small portions that make u feel just right! hehe. there was some miscommunication in the rest. though cus the waiters can speak eng but dun really understand us for some reason. we just point everywhr in the menu, which had eng. translation of the food (part of why i like MK)..they see foreigners they are very observant n efficient..will attend to us almost immediately cus 2 waiters stood like v close to our table throughout our meal..better service than in sg.ooops. shopped at MBK that night.

mon-went to grand palace on our own after bfast at hotel. we got cunned by the cabby. he says he wants to fetch us to some attractions, he took us to 2 gems factory, 1 which we alr visited the day before. cus he told us there was this govt. scheme for taxi drivers to be able to claim petrol kiosks coupons to get 5 litres of petrol if they brought us to an attraction, my dad says it's true but it's to his advantage not ours at all. we wasted abt 1 hr that morning because of him. but we got over it. Grand Palace is a big place man! i like the decors and all. took lotsa pics at there esp with the soldiers who were stood so stiffly guarding the different museums and halls..hahax. the funny part is the place is super-conservative! all of us except my parents wore half pants that day and the moment we stepped in, we were told by guards to get thai silk skirts rent-free inside the main area. the skirt is so long that it slips off my waists every now and then even when i tied it tight enough and i was so scared to trip over myself everytime.there were a lot of caucasians and asians there (esp. chinese nationals). admission is only free for thais only. think we paid ard 250 baht per head.it took us abt half a day to finish walking. after that we went to have a late lunch at chinatown. had birds' nest and sharks' fin soup at the most recommended place by tourists who visit chinatown(yaowarat road they call) nam xing restaurant. found it so so only. birds' nest was too sweet. we walked ard chinatown despite the downpour which last abt an hour. there are lots of wholesale shops in almost all the streets where you can get really gd bargains ONLY when you buy in bulk. there have various accessories at real cheap prices. we got some random items like hair accessories, socks even. i believe the malls got their accessories like bags and all from there especially MBK cus it looks similar from what we saw. Oh and yes, we love the fruits in chinatown very juicy and sweet no matter what you buy, we got a few fruits like longans, dragonfruits back to our hotel to munch for supper. at night ate at hk cafe near siam square near our lodging area. food not bad still very flavourful.

tues- head back to sg. this time round i felt the seats in this cathay pacific was better and cleaner than the departure plane and the seats were very much filled up.

final note: my guide is curently doing her masters in a no. 3 university in bkk. think her english is average, there are certain terms that she needs to learn from us. hmm..m also their uni fees is around S$1000 per sem and only if you study during the wkends then, u'll pay ard S$5000-6000 per sem, which she says is insane and very few ppl can afford there only the wealthy classes. so most ppl go schooling mon-fri yah. also, they start late and end late mostly from ard 8to9am till 4pm.
overall rating for this trip: 6.5/10 partly the weather made this trip tiresome, some days rainy or if not extreme sunny. we didn't get to see protests in the streets like those pro-Thaksin rally but the cabbies showed us where the open area where the supporters of thaksin will stage the rally abt 6pm, which is beside the Grand Palace area. One thing we miss other than going to certain malls is the Pratunam mkt where my guide says there're many wholesale gds in the day. too rush for us in this trip. Also, it's good to know a bit of thai cus there may be times of miscommunication and it comes in handy if u know a few terms, but in this case, i rely on my dad who knows a bit of basic thai.

This is My Now

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.
There was a time when I was so afraidI thought I’d reached the end.
Baby, that was then.
But I am made of more than my yesterdays.

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

I had to decide.
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside,
Try to turn the tide.
Find the strength to take that step of faith?

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.

I have a courage like never before, yeah.
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.
Ready for more…

This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now,
And I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around,
I can’t believe the love I see.
My fear’s behind me,
Gone are the shadows and doubt.
That was then.
This is my now.
This is my now.

there is seriously sth wrong with my new post page in blogger... don't know why there's such a huge space for the fonts n bulleting tabs... forget it. im just gonna type!
ok quick updates.
-watched phantom on sun! whee~ love the set-ups, props. the singing was not as what both of us had expected, especially the sops part too much overlapping with the other performers and pitchy at times. hah. chanderlier wasn't that impactful as i thought. but i would say bout 85% of the money spent was worth the value of work put in by the cast... sounds bad or good?
-went shopping spree with rinee... got a limited and new edition levis cooper jeans and other skirts! burst my pockets but it's ok. feels good to own sth new n authentic!
-spiderman 3 comes to a ambivalent ending! peter n mj still so sweet... lucky last fri din't watch with my company. if not cant go in intime for the movie must be like receptionist cus it's our movie night invited some customers so must greet them and all... phew..actually nowadays i dread all the meet-ups with new faces. must be due to my job scope :(
-uni dilemma: i need to make a major decision that concerns my degree.. colleagues, friends and family have been giving me so many opinions that it just bogs me down. yikes. ntu or nus? or somewhr else? nus prestigious. ntu is more hands-on. some courses are better here some better there. where now?
-driving instructors can sometimes drive you nuts... does that rhyme? oh well. i seriously get all sorts of weird instructors and qns and advices from them. but at times they're a witty bunch of pple i would say.
-my work: these few wks have been like a whirlpool of events going on in and out of office. don't ask. i feel tortured at the thought of describing them. haha. either i give them notice so that they can find a perm staff to replace me. or i just give up. 1st option will sound more responsible n considerate yea? i have plans that i wanna do sth part-time after this job. that shld settle my life cus almost everyday i come home tired n getting all sorts of diff shit. i need a change.

this settles it. another time!

2007-03-28T13:45:00.000+08:00

have been anticipating and doing much pondering over the days abt uni and all... seemingly don't make much sense to me ya. pple have been saying that getting a degree is just a stepping stone and like it ain't matter what sorta deg you get cus ultimately u're not going to stick this deg tgther with ur career... you shld know what i mean. well, makes sense but i dunno?

it's back to work again... more rules have been stepped up somehow and new pple are joining the team...dis new RM came for training in dis morning and kept looking ard our office like trying to know faces but he din't try to intro himself at all so....?anw i tink prob he's going to intro when he starts work proper nxt wk.. getting to know more of others in EB but takes time u noe... i realise that i have an apt in rmbering faces but not entirely namess...woahah. sth that bothers me is that... my desk! it's going to be occupied by dis guy... rah! gonna shift my stuff... i dun wan... prefer my location of being closer to my team.. more random jokes to hear n all... feels cosy. i might be sitting over at the next section which colleagues there are kinda uh...h 'motherly' you may say... hmm..m looking on the bright side, being babysitted feels ok once in awhile though:P

i saw an MP driving in his car to work today! amazing...i only recognise the face and i know he's the new ntuc chairman or sth. lim swee say if im nt wrong...but anw it's not that surprising upon discovering the mgmt office of ntuc happens to be in shenton...one marina blvd yea.

tired. gotta catch some slp for work tmr.

haiz...

2007-03-20T15:52:00.001+08:00

seriously, i don't have any idea what i had been doing for the past week... though my company gave me a real break i guess i've seem to waste it all away... other than doing my uni app. which was an added stress for me...hai...darn.
i have problems coming up with simply a short essay writeup abt my own stuff... my linguisitic ability seem to have gone rusty after all these while... and of course... i've been constantly reminded in my head of my gp... urgh... i see this as yet another obstacle for me... dilemma.
my driving is like going pretty well... i've got another half more sessions before i can take my test which is like way far from now... in july... so im taking it slow now...i seem to be meeting some old mates at the centre...some taking motorbike others car... haha...guess everyone jus can't wait to get their license at 18...
jus saw him in the lift yest when back from the day out... surprisingly it's the longest conversation we've had... hah. my intuition is that he's done pretty well..asking me if im considering biz, i asked him if he's doing eng since his dad is one...but he crossed that out to me... asked me to go smu lyk so near our hse... i replied some plain crap n yah... he merely mentioned that he's uncertain...but well, the guys can wait lah... hah.
oh and really wan thank the treat my colleagues gave me n some prez too... despite my return soon... haha.. anw dun have to give me anything when i leave again for uni lah k... double counting...haha... as jean said.. we meet at KR15 again if im in nus that is... yea? and i'll not forget my dear girl if seriously i become the next olivia...i'll make her my asst...woahah... that'll have to wait some yrs... but as she said i may be MD/CFO/CEO earlier then the rest of them...we'll see abt it.
recently bought this bk... the undercover economist...find it a real good read... it's light yet sensible in the eyes of an economist... projecting to us real life scenarios... anyone who knows abit of econs or even can't make head or tail out of econs... jus give it a read... it opens u up more i would say...
thinking of taking up some courses but i still have nth in mind what i would wan... languages seems to be quite common.. alot of my frens are doing them now... jap, korean, french...but i was thinking i might do it in uni as a minor or sth... taking up another musical instru would be not too bad an idea...hmmm..m.. too many things are running thru my mind now... need to clear things up 1st...

off~!

back!

2007-02-17T10:00:00.000+08:00

amazing to haf 2 RMs from the same sec n jc as me...they giggled when dey saw my sch the 1st time dey interviewed me la..hey but noe what? i tink it really helps to haf an older adult in ur company from the same ex-sch as u... seem to click better i would say for some reason...
woah i muz say i was a lil intimidated by so many pple in my dept. when i 1st got introduceed to them... from the most frontline to the most backline pple... ai ya but it's ok. noe who's the VP n all can liao...haha.
n funny thing is i received alwyn's call in the midst of my lunch to ask me if i wan go back to my previous post... feel a bit weird when i told him im working for another dept now. really wished i hadnt picked up his call... he wanted me 2 come back for another 2 mths lor. i tink muz be dat ops cant handle workload after june left jus dis wk..hai. but no choice ask dem find some1 else lor.
hmm..m oh and i wanted to say dat it seems for the past few days i kept seeing pple i know from the past. talked to some of them but some i jus dun haf the motivation to say hi wadsoever..n i haf colleagues who simply look almost alike n sound alike from pple i know. sounds a lil lyk karma...haha. dunno if it's gd or bad. i even met n talked to my fren's mum on the bus...amazing.
haha. somehow these few days too much things has been happening ard me dat i dunno where to begin.hai...
oh i took some driving lessons alr! feels gd driving a manual car but a bit scary on the road... haha.
results coming out soon...recently received brochures from NUS, NTU n some uni in the states muz be cus of SAT...haha. but i merely chucked them aside... dun wanna tink abt it i guess...colleagues kept asking wad i wanna read in uni... i seriously am uncertain. im so open to lots of options dat i dun noe wad i wan now...well, let it be put aside for the moment...
xi wang zai ming tian! haha. that's wad mrs lee said yest...will rmb it! but dun be lyk some1 who interrupted to say that wo de ming tian zai zuo tian...haha... gonna sounds pretty bad ya. (shld noe why...)
anw... signing off now! catch up again!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YR PPLE!:D HAVE A BLESSED PIG YR AHEAD...ZZZ.
(oh yes~ i wanna say that it's time for me to start leaning some cantonese...!pple in my office all seem to noe except me... hah...can pple stop speaking so much cantonese.?!?..)

becus you live

2007-02-07T02:15:00.000+08:00

Staring out at the rain, with a heavy heart
It s the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
I couldn t see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn t know

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky

It s all right I survived I m alive again
Cuz of you made it through every storm
What is life what s the use if you re killing time

I m so glad I found an angel, somewhere
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes

Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl (you live) my world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live, there s a reason why, I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you ve given me always

Because you live, and breathe

Because you live girl, my world(my world) has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl,(cuz you live) my world has everything I need to survive,
Because you live, I live
I live

lady in the water

2007-01-24T13:40:00.000+08:00

Once, a man and those in the water were linked.
They inspired us. They spoke of the future.
Man listened and it became real.
But man does not listen very well.
Man’s need to own everything led him deeper into land.
The magic world of the ones that live in the ocean and the world of men separated.
Through the centuries, their world and all of the inhabitants of it stopped trying.
The world of man became more violent.
War upon war played out, as there were no guides to listen to.
Now those in the water are trying again, trying to reach us.
A handful of their precious young ones have been sent into the world of man.
They are brought in the dead of night to where man lives.
They need only to be glimpsed and the awakening of man will happen.
But their enemies roam the land.
There are laws meant to keep the young ones safe but they are sent at great risk to their lives.
Many do not return.
Yet still they try. Try to help man.
But man may have forgotten how to listen.

Now it lies in the hands of the guardian, the symbolist, the guild and the healer...

concert day

2006-05-12T11:15:00.000+08:00

today was rather chiong... got pe, lectures n peer tutoring...after sch tried to help rinee do her inclined pull-up...but only managed to do 5....worst record man...maybe it was a wrong choice to go to mr chua. anyway, had a errie encounter with arthur lim cos wanted to ask if can do the re-test next week...he gave a??? and !!! reply....dots...dunno wad to say plus that freaky expression on his face...yuks~

ok anyway waited for su cos she did aje stuff den went take 162 to orchard since rinee's fren said sth cocked up at the mrt track....took more than 30 mins to reach there...haha shopped with su at far east a while only cos meeting zan at food republic. zan went watch MI3 with her class pple... we ate and talked abt lotsa stuff...pple esp.haha. den met rinee n her fren to take bus down to SCH. we thought the bus will reach jus on time who noes there was a jam along orchard end up by the time we got down the bus it was alr 7.30 so we ran in...past this UIC building which was stupidly long...yah but we realised that there were pple later den us and a bunch of them came in during interval...

the concert itself was rather enjoyable though we thought the initial songs sung weren't exactly that fantastic. but those hungarian or wad spanish ones were amazing... tot choir shldn't use those visual effects for their finale on final fantasy... it was too distracting to actually focus on their vocals...

bugis trip

2006-05-10T10:30:00.000+08:00

yohoo~ went bugis with su-ann my lao gong today...yeaps. cos she wanna choose new earrings for herself n i wanna jus look around maybe for a new bag or sth...
actually tml have chem spa but cos i dun haf so quite free can pei ann yupz n somemore we're in a shopping mood~
so ya zibbie actually wanted to come along with us but cos she gotta go TTSH's skin care centre to check on her head scalp to see if there's a possibility of growth of any lice..she was complaining to us abt how itchy her hair feels on the train thruout...yew...ya. den ltr she told us dat skin centre wants her to book apptmt before she can see the specialist so she decided to go polyclinic to see a doc n heard dey gave her some lotion n stuff...
so me n ann went lavender 1st to collect her ic cos she left it there for very long. and den we made our trip to bugis st which was deemed to have lotsa earrings..ya so in the end she managed to buy 2 earrings for $2 each...not that bad la~ den i brought her to icon. it's like my 3rd trip there n found the place still as small and we completed walking the entire building for less than 15 mins...yeap dat's the compromise for having a tiny weeny shop space. even the shopkeeper there commented dat it'll take us less den a min to finish walking the storey 1 round..haha.
yup den we went seiyu to buy a billabong water bottle for ann's fren bdae cos she owed her fren the gift since how many mths ago...haha. and i went nike shop n saw this lime green cum black tote bag which i quite liked...but it's 60 bucks...so gotta think abt it cos on tight budget now...
left bugis around 5 plus.

norm day..

2006-05-06T13:30:00.000+08:00

was too tired to blog yest cos of bridge ya...so the moment i got home, ate dinner den lie on bed n dozed off~ yest was the longest bridge we've had cos of all the intense debating by the GP 'chers on the topic of 'war'. amazing right? cos of one female cher pointed out the vagueness of the phrase 'excessive lives are lost' n it ended with the bad examples of the US and Saddam(iraq) n oso the israel-palestanian issues...wad the???!!!
anyway was rather pissed with the long heated discussion cos stomach was growling...den was the journey home...was supposed to go back wif zan but she changed her mind abt taking a bus instead of mrt n called me later to say she wan take the train again so ya. tot she can wait for me up at the boarding platform but den went up the escalator n saw her thru the train window n realised she boarded it w/o me...haha...but was rather comical though cos we were at a loss... den zan called me n ya wanted to wait for me at another train station cos she felt guilty of leaving me behind...but i dint blame it on her cos it wasnt intentional. told her it's ok cos in the end i stopped at dhoby ghaut myself n took bus back which i guessed was faster than taking to eunos with zan if i had.
but well in the lift, i met dis auntie neighbour of mine for the 1st time n she casually asked me my sch...cos she nv seen such a uniform before...well i guess she must be thinking in her mind wad a 'factory worker' looking uniform i have but i cant be bothered to ask her to speak her mind at that pt cos was really exhasted by then... den she asked how 'good' was my college..when i told her it's jus average she made a comment dat 'oh... not above average arh?' i cant really bother to rebut her that why some pple jus like to judge the standard of a person merely by the sch's rankings? luckily she wasnt my parent! if not she might haf wanted me to get into RJC or whichever top 3 jcs...haiz...
oh well..today was of cos quite slack at astro...no star-gazing sessions cos we had quiz for j1s.yepz.

orange madness..

visit to the istana

2006-05-02T11:00:00.000+08:00

hehe... today's the 1st time i visited the istana... pretty great day for me ya. went to drag bev, qq n shuyun wif me after gp tuition...:D
well there was this line forming outside but saw the queue moving rather fast. think the authorities should do sth about the fencing cos it was rather hectic to walk along them..feels as if im in a maze. even bev complained too. haha. and there was the security check..tink everyone of us is a potential terrorist?!?!
finally got in thru the entrance. saw this huge piece of greenland ahead of us that resembles a golf course. magnificant! haha. and got a few families picnicking there. we were walking along the path n taking pics along the way too. qq say we seem lyk we're quite 'sua ku' trying to take whatever pics we can find all over. but it's our 1st trip leh! haha. den of coz i wanted to see aj band performance, but dint manage to find the tent where band was performing. so in the end only heard the distinct sounds of the instruments...playing in the background..hai..
anyway we took some time to walk all thru the pathway and wind in to the istana house...finally! ya. took pics again. see the fountain with some kids playing, qq and bev wanted to ask the mum of a cute-looking kiddie girl if she can pose wif us in a photo but the little girl was too shy n afraid...haha.
den went into the istana house with bev n qq paid $2.shuyun missed it cos she went look for the washroom. yah, so we jus viewed some of the exquisite yet exorbitant works of art that were mostly gifts from the top officials of other c'tries. nth much den. did take a rather discrete pic of the pres's conference room. haha. qq was shocked to see a flash coming out. came out n saw aj band n talked to marie a while n slipped off...
...to take a few pics wif the uniformed guys /cadets/soldiers wadsoever. hehe. dey were rather friendly to pose with us. qq n bev were especially brightened to see them...haha dey were the ones who asked dem to take pics wif us de. but they looked so smart in those uniforms (green, black, white)...aw..but the guys in white uniforms were pretty serious looking coz haf the guard the entrance n exit so cant smile cant move...but we still stood beside dem and took without their acknowledgement.ha.
~wan thank those strangers for helping us take photos along the way in the istana though some dint turn out dat well.!~
