The Long Weekend

Friday
Long weekend due to Good Friday. Geez...i missed service on Friday. Terrible !!! I didn't know wad time service was. Dad went to check it out but when he came back to wake me at 8.30, he told me it already started. No point rushing and going in late !! Especially on a special day like good friday, there bound to be no seats.
Mum went back to Melaka with grandma and Ah yi to visit Carolyn's grandfather. So Friday... i went to Parkway with dad. Had quite a late lunch. Then i went to Gallen Sports having the intention to buy blades. Ade told me there was a pair of not so expensive but yet good pair. I think i saw that pair....but it wasn't near wad i saw people wearing in ECP 2 weeks ago. Really like those silver-looking blades. Look sooo pretty !! Remember Zm saying the other day that the silver-kind were the fashion for skates now. Still looking out for them ....=( Hope not so expensive la. Oh...and i bought myself a hp pouch to replace my dear lost pouch. Thinking back about it still makes me sad. So i bought a pouch or rather a sock with many smiley faces on it.

Saturday
Saturday, ming and ade went to ECP to blade. But i got facial appointment...so gave it a miss. Haihhz...wonder wad's wrong with Dikara people....mum called them and helped me ask for Grace. But when i was there...Angela did it AGAIN. Her extraction super duper painful !!! And she attributed it to my dry skin...WTH. When Julia was around...it wasn't that bad. The previous session with Grace was good too. But anyway, i still enjoyed the massage. Mask was a little terrible. Wonder wad she gave me today. Couldn't breathe with the funny cloth she placed on my face.
Interesting conversation with Rando in the evening. He commented that it was soooo rare for a guy and a girl to have a common topic... FACIAL !! LoL We were kinda like comparing the facials we had. Conclusion....we all hate extraction. He likes mask...but i prefer the massages =p It was only tonight that i knew spas solely for guys were available. But hte most amazing thing to me was that his beauticians were also guys !!!! OMG...HAHAHA....he also told me he wondered if they were gays =p

Anyway, back to studying for quiz. So sucky la....Derivative instruments ....*pukes* If not for the quiz, i think i would have been spending the long weekend in melaka visiting too. *sadz* Better wake myself up early tmr for Easter Sunday service !!! *guilty*

Oh yeah...while reading the papers...they were advertising this blog... http://xiaxue.blogspot.com by Wendy Cheng. Well, the girl does look pretty. But some of her posts....hmmm...well...up to ppl to comment la.

An Apple a Day will Pulverise you Fat Away

Saw this article in Today...
The apple is one of nature's most nutritious fruit.
Containing a wholesome amount of Vit A and C that will help keep ur cholesterol levels down, apples are also full of fibre called pectin.
Studies have shown that pectin may reduce cholesterol as well as play a role in the prevention of certain cancers.
A little-known fact abt apples is that the fruit may prevent weight gain and actually aid in weight loss.
This is because pectin limits the amount of fat cells that the body can absorb.
Once the fibre is in your system, it has a water binding property that absorbs watery substances.
These watery substances will in turn bombard the cells and release fat deposits, thus pulverising the fat that accumulates on your cells.
Containing 0 fat and cholesterol, the apple not only reduces the waistline but the fruit helps to maintain a healthy body.

Hmmz...i have been eating apples...but shape seems to be same...
Maybe i nid MORE apples !!! =)

感想 Part 1

感想 Part 1 starts from the first 9 episodes of 天涯侠医.
It's another TVB Serial about the lives of doctors and nurses and lives of those who go over to Africa as volunteers. Not much handsome or pretty girls...but meaningful show.
I finished what zijia sent me again...=p

生死只是一线之差. 应该做些以后不会遗憾的事.

Today after Mediacorp recruitment talk, i went up to this manager to ask him about his department which kinda sounded interesting. Told him i was from accountancy and that i would only have basic skills to join his department. He said Mediacorp is a big family with many SBUs and internal transfer is always an avenue. As long as I want to enter the industry, i can join them. I should start with something i'm interested in first before moving to some other area. He thought that my interest lies in accounting.
I pondered about it on the spot. What is my area of interest? I know that it's definitely not finance and accounting. I don't know what is in for me in the future. In the serial, a few ppl who come and go only have 1 child. Similar to my situation. I have to keep constanly remind myself that my family only have me to depend on in future.
Mum knows that i'm not happy with what i'm studying now. She once said that she was apologetic for putting me in such a situation. It was more like me fulfilling something which she didn't have a chance to do. I don't blame her at all. It was my undecisiveness and becoz i didn't have a direction that i landed in this shit. I suppose dad should also know about it. But i really hate it when he keeps talking that i should read up on finance and accounting. whatever job that knocks on the door, i should apply (mostly are finance-related and he didn't consider if tt's what i want). Also further studies meant more accounting. I tend to brush off or totally ignore what this topic always arises.
Mum told me that i still can choose. But what is my calling !??! Where do i g0 ?!?!?! I wonder if i will end up in business or go back to science one day. I guess my passion for chemistry will always be there?? I would attribute it to Ms Ler =)

Bottomline: 我不希望现在的决定会让我以后觉得遗憾。。。。

感想 Part 2 may come soon after more 天涯侠医.

Maid in Action

The usual dry-cleaning of my room doesn't work for long i guess.
I have been sneezing since i stepped in....DUSTY !!!
alvin and cx went to gym...and i decided to clean my room !!! Did the usual dry-cleaning with the magic-clean....it does absorb a lot of dirt particles and hair....*yuckkkss* noticed that everytime also got A LOT of hair...last time alone din have that much...So i came to a conclusion that my room mates drops a lot of hair. =p
Then i went on to clean my fan. Coz every time although i on full blast, doesn't seem to be windy. So today, juz picked up the rag and pail...cleaned the fan.
Still not that satisfied....borrowed mop from YY. My dear mop was stolen since the beginning of yr3 sem 1. Mop mop mop.....haha....
Now my fan is much much cooler.....the floor feels better and my nose ....it's still sneezing though...hmmmz....
Anyway, the 2nd conclusion within this short period of time...a cleaned fan spins faster. Haha
Next on the agenda...changing of bedsheets....haihhz....later after dinner and after i shower....

NATAS travel fair...

Mum said on friday nite that we had to go early once the fair started which was 10am.
So had to wake up 9 again =(. We reached like 10.15am la...but a lot of cars already. Dad refused to search for lots at B1, so straight away head for B2. Haha...
There were already quite many ppl at the fair when we reached Suntec. Mum got the free tix from the lady on friday when she went down to Tradewinds to enquire about the tour. She put $1 deposit for each and got 3 tix =p
So many exhibitors !!!! If mum hadn't know where to go first, i think we would be walking round the place for hours ! As usual la...all the big tour agencies...SA, Ananda, Dynasty etc... In fact, i saw quite a lot of NTU ppl looking around. But i wonder how come everyone is looking only at Taiwan, Hongkong...hmmmz...
Anyway, we had a few options...SA sounded good...but clashsed with mum's course. So cannot go. Ananda also not bad...but the Italy schedule also clash...left the Switzerland, Paris and London. If go for that means change of plan. Also means more expensive. Wonder why London is soooo expensive...NATAS had a lot of freebies !!! Attracts ppl la....lower tour fares, credit card discounts and freebies and agent freebies...We couldn't decide...so went for lunch and thought over it.
Oh well...in the end it was back to Tradewinds. Hope they give better hotels *cross fingers* looking forward to the end of exams now !!! Italy and Switzerland....see u on 7th May 2005 !!!!! =)
Can't wait to visit places which i always see on TV !!!!

The past 2 weeks....

Geez...looking back at the date...it's almost 2 weeks since i last updated.
Perhaps shall start blogging about today den go backwards. See how much i can remember. Maybe my planner can come into use !! LoL

TODAY Friday
Didn't catch much sleep. i dozed off at about 3 something am while waiting for ade to look thru FYP. my head felt heavy so i landed on my bed...4 something i woke up. Realised ade msged me =p anyway, did some adjustments then off to bed at around 5 plus. And if i'm not wrong, juz as i drifted off to sleep again, my room mate suddenly came back. and WTH again with those unconsiderate movements and noise...but i htink i was too tired to bother ...so ZzZzzzz
Then 7 something, my alarm clock rang. Wanted to catch ade before she went for presentation. Juz as i switched off my alarm clock, still in the sleepy mode, lying on bed, suddenly my room mate sprang out in front of me. She scared the hell outta me. And she asked "Can I borrow your phone ??" WTH !! Was she that desperate ?!!?!?!
Alvin and CX were 2 disappointed boys when they couldn't get the cheap MP3 player from Creative. They woke up at 5.30am to go...i was horrified when they told me last nite that they were taking the 1st bus out of NTU :s But when they reached, too many ppl...so had to come back...
Finally submitted FYP...skipped PE to arrange and re-print some stuff. Quite rushed la....but i'm glad it's all over. Our hard work....hope it does pay off in the end.

Thursday
Nothing much. Simulation discussion again. Sick of it...then evening went for BP recruitment talk. Didn't interest me...coz it's all about TRADING !!! Derivatives, swaps, commodities etc... the thought of it makes me feel like throwing up. But also reminds me i have to start studying soon.

Wednesday
No class. coz had the 306 seminar on monday. So slept until 9 plus coz had to continue editing FYP. Ming (aka Mary) came to NTU....Guang Liang Concert !!!! She's been my frequent visitor this semester. Or rather she has never been that frequent. Haha...but i love visitors. Being KS we went at 3.45pm to queue to get in when admission was only at 6pm and concert starts at 7pm. Supposedly brought stuff to read...but in the end juz sit there stone, talk, wait.Haha...
But really enjoyed the concert. Guang Liang's live was GREAT !!! Thumbs up =) Bought his new CD before the concert started so managed to get the poster as well. He autographed on both !!! So happy !!! My 1st autographed CD ?? How i wish i could get Sammi's autograph one day....


A copy of 光良的童话

I used Ming's camera to take a pic of my messy table !!! Looks sooo horrifying !!! Wonder how i find space to read. Haha...muz be everything pack and put one side....finish reading then put back. LoL

But i'm proud of my board...with all the SK II cards and also the poster Ade bought for me =)

Tuesday
Hmmm...what happened ?? I ermm...can't really remember. Except i went for the IBM talk. Think the job also not suitable for me....too IT ....haihhhz =(

Monday
I will remember what happened. Morning Prof Hooi sms-ed me asking me to return call regarding FYP. He wanted to meet us. I called Ade...she sick. So left Meiling...i keep calling nobody pick up. I think my hands were too filled ?? I was still trying to get Meiling coz it's urgent. So i guess i didn't know that i lost my handphone pouch. My dear Esprit pouch. It's been with me for so many years. and i still love it. I am a sentimental person....Really sad that it uz disappeared =( Will i find another soon ?? People have been telling me 旧的不去，新的不来. Haihhz....

Sunday
Let's see...all i can remember was the wonderful steamboat buffet dinner at M Hotel. This time we brought grandma along !! =) yummy......*drools* Had a great feast....but i think overate !! Haha...but still....DELICIOUS !! I just love having steamboat...

Saturday
Morning went to East Coast Park to blade with Alvin, CX, YY, ZM, Ade n Nicky. Geez....haven't worn blades for the past 10 years ?? Initially i was still skeptical whether i could still remember how to blade. Took me quite some time before i felt a little more confident and went ahead of the rest with Alvin. But YY and CX could blade after the 2 hour session !!! =) Ade and Zm are good teachers ?? =p
After that, dad picked me up and we went to the Toyota showroom...hehe...i really wonder if dad will really get a 2nd car for mum and me =) *thinking* The camry is good to drive but difficult to park. So if really get, i guess it would be the Vios. Black or white ?!!? Hmmmz....my wishful thinking ?? hehe...mum said she's amazed that i was kinda traditional...prefer sedans instead of those hatchbacks (is this the correct spelling!??!!?)

Friday
Nothing much i think. Except that dad came earlier to pick me up coz he had a dinner. As usual went for guitar.

Thursday
Went to watch my 1st Korean movie-- "A Moment to Remember". It was becoz of Alvin's sudden enthusiasm that we all went. HAHA.... quite a touching story. Teared a little. But YY they all said there were better Korean movies. Oh yes....HAHAHA...it was the 1st time i saw Ming cry !!! HAHAHA....her eyes all red =p she blew her nose at the end which attracted all our attention !!! =p

Wednesday
Nothing unusual happened i suppose....Really can't recall.

Tuesday
Alvin, CX, WJ and QY went for KTV session with YY to celebrate her birthday !!! Ade and I went down later after class to meet them for dinner at Chinatown. Ermm.....very far... but still had fun la. Had dinner at 美食街 then wanted to go the 糖水 shop dad brought us the other time. But the shop was going to close ....so we detoured and went to the hawkers to have 汤圆（is this the correct word ??) YY got a nice red Addidas jacket as a pressie...hmmz....do i have a pic of it ?? =p
Yesh i do....Haha...dun woryy YY....i chose the best pic from Alvin's album =)



Anyway, this is a pic we took at 美食街. Where's Alvin !???! LoL...he was cameraman =p

Monday
Nothing significant again i guess....coz no memories at all...HAHAHA

But i think overall i gave quite a good summary of the past 2 weeks =)
Tired...now time to sleep....only 2 hrs ++ of sleep !!!

My room mate

It's been 2 weeks since she stayed with me. She's quite an ok girl la....But really find it quite maddening to find that she always sleeps at 10.30 or sometimes even earlier. She juz automatically shuts the door and switches off all the lights which leaves me in darkness for the rest of the night. I am a person who loves artificial light. Can't really work when it's more condusive for sleeping or watching a serial.
Sleeping early could be her habit or juz that she's bored since she doesn't have a comp. So i guess i have to learn to tolerate and live with someone else since this is a double room. But what irks me even more is that ....she wakes up at 7 or earlier AND, loves wearing her bedroom slippers around and draggin her feet. One more thing....she loves opening and closing hte door and locking them unlocking them. She does it i dun know how many times every morning. Getting quite sick of it lor. I tried to be considerate when i sleep late....hope it'll get better as the days go by...but i doubt it .
She isn't around this week and boy am i really happy !!!! No disturbance...my single deluxe again. It's b0bble's world again !! =p

My weekend home with grandma =)

Eversince Ah yi bought her condo, i never stayed with my granny anymore. It has been many many years since then. When we stayed together, she used to nag at me everyday.
This time, mum and dad went to KL for Kuen Li's wedding and i had to stay home. Anyway, good that i stayed home since I had to be the one persuading YL to combines efforts for SM and it is good and memorable 2 days with grandma at home.
Grandma has been taking care of me since I was young and I guess i am close to her compared to my other 2 cousins. This time she came over to stay with me so that i wouldn't be home alone. She accompanies me wherever i go even though her legs like hurting her. She was used to sleeping here on the 1st night and i suppose she didn't have a good rest. With her around, she kept our house spick and span so that mum wouldn't have to do household chores when she gets back tonight.
Last night, Ah yi, grandma and I went for this Italian dance concert at the Esplanade. I haven't watched a dance for a v long time since I stopped dancing (hmmz....6 yrs ??) I enjoyed it v much. Good dance moves and v artistic!! And to complement that, we actually had Italian dinner but it wasn't that good.
We do visit grandma every weekend. But it was during these 2 days that I found that she was really getting old . Her legs seem to be giving her a lot of prob. Her nagging didn't stop...ahahahaha.... but i'm very grateful for a granny who cares so much for me *touched*

The first sun-rise I have seen in NTU

Tuesday nite....memorable. Ade and I pia our FYP throughout the night.
And before we knew it, we stared at the clock...it was 5 plus am going to 6 !!!
Ade's tiredness is positively correlated to her crappiness... Ming didn't suit the name Mary...den ade thought of a new name for her....It became Cinderella !!! HAHAHAAHA...den somehow rando managed to get the gest of it...and said no Cinderella....So ade came up with something else again...she asked him if he wan chocolate or strawberry....he answered chocolate and we were shocked...coz ade spelt...CHOKILATE !!! AHAHAHA....(ming...murder ade if u want to but only after the 12th..LoL)
Anyway, we did FYP the whole night till morning...and i commented it was the first time i ever saw the sun rise. It was gonna be 6am...told ade to sleep abit coz she might want to go for class at 9am. My class afternoon...so i thought can go back sleep later...but at 7.40am...ade woke to take over the editing and i soon fell asleep. We didn't eat anything perhaps except drink wateR?? So decided to treat and pamper ourselves to pizza tonight !! It was a 3-in-1 meal...meaning breakfast cum lunch cum dinner.
And today....my room mate stayed in the room....din go watch TV and she's sleeping so damn early. Now the only source of light i have is my table light...I HATE DARKNESS !!!!

Hmmmz....Mary had a lil Lamb ???

Yesterday ming came to visit us !!! She was supposed to come help me and and with FYP but somehow she ended up doing her own research. So sorry for depriving ming of her lunch !!! =p
Ade and I were trying to improve the data analysis with Alvin's help. However, we were having fun every now and then giggling and laughing...Started writing our report for that section proper in FAL lab after we were chased out of IT lab4.
We stayed in the lab until almost 7. And ming was playing the long-time-no-play NEOPETS !!! Ade and her were playing some McDonald maze thing and sounded very happy and exciting. While walking to Can A for dinner....somehow Ade mentioned "Mary had a lil lamb". This became the topic of the whole night !!! We were laughing even harder and poor ming became the target. So sorry my dear girl....=p Y'day also found out that Ade's suan-ing skills has improved tremendously !!!
My new room mate shifted in yesterday!! When i first saw her in the morning, she looked like the very demure and quiet sort. Talked to her for a while...she seems to be quite friendly. I need to learn how to stay with someone again. Not very used to it. Afterall, i have been alone for the past 6-7 weeks.
Yesterday Ade and I marathon throughout the night and finally completed our data analysis report. 12 pages !!! I am so proud of ourselves !!! We have to work harder. I saw Ade's friend nick in msn....FYP = FINISH YOUR PROJECT !!!! Caught sleep only after 4am.
