My last post here.

I'm moving to http://inaniloquent27.blogspot.com/.

See you there!

I'm supposed to be working right now... subtitling a few videos...

I've just learned to subtitle videos in less than a day (all by myself, no less!) using stuff that fansubbers use and after getting through a few software knots, the rest should be smooth-sailing...

But, as usual, I can't concentrate on a single task for too long and so here I am. Thank goodness that I can work at home cuz the office environment does get a little distracting. I've been reading My Sister's Keeper cuz of the movie, and I want to go watch it after... If it remains loyal to the book, it should be pretty good.

But, movies based on books are rarely what you expect them to be, so I'm going to go in the theatre with an open mind. You learn to separate the book from the movie and appreciate the story from all three angles (the book, the movie and the movie based on the book), especially since everyone will have different interpretations of it. Hey it's a free world.

Meanwhile, a few songs I've been listening to:
Zhang Liyin's 晴天/雨天

Finally! After a long wait, the song is finally out! Although the MV's a little lacklustre compared to her previous movie-like MVs. It's a picture slideshow for crying out loud! SM Ent, can't you just spend another 50% more of the original budget and make it live action? Although, from another angle, it does have the 'reminiscing' concept... and it better be... Liyin's voice has matured... and she looks nice with Donghae in the MV.

Taeyeon & Sunny - Sarangingeolyo

I like Taeyeon's voice, and Sunny's is beginning to grow on me... If only they would do such stuff for their album, that would be nice... maybe even Tracy would like them better...

Jessica feat. Onew - One Year Later

I like the imagery of the song. I put this performance up cuz the Onew's voice broke in the other, although it wasn't that obvious. I usually like duets. Jessica's popularity has been on the rise lately... I didn't really like her at first, but she's one of the few SNSD members that I would follow.

Super Junior KRY & Yoo Young Jin - Sorry Sorry R&B remix

Doesn't sound like a remix, more like a song of its own. KRY should do more songs like this.

Omg, it’s been so long since I last blogged. Been busy with work and stuff, it that is any excuse. Quick update on goings-on with me: I went to Beijing and Shanghai for a work trip for about 10 days (about 2 weeks ago) to oversee filming of commercial/promotional/award (don’t know how to describe it exactly) for 4 clients. It was pretty fun, but tiring. It got a bit boring when I was on my own, mostly stayed in my hotel room cuz I didn’t know where to go, especially in Beijing. But I went out for a bit in Shanghai and bought a few things, although nothing out of the ordinary (extraordinary? Can’t remember the expression).

Oh and Audrey, I went to eat Quan Ju De Peking Roast Duck, like finally! Hahaha…

So that was the trip. Before that, went to watch this movie with Tracy called Orphan. Storyline was interesting (shan’t say too much cuz you can read the plot on Wikipedia), albeit a little gory. There’s a part where one of the female leads breaks her arm with a vice (you know those in the D&T workshops..) and you see the bone pop. Not my favourite thing to watch, and I’d warn you not to eat/drink anything while watching, especially if you have a weak stomach. The girl that plays Esther in the movie was great, for a American 12-year old to play a 30plus-year old woman acting as a kid (with a Russian accent) is really hard to pull off, but she did. Not for the faint-hearted, but I do recommend it, despite the bloody parts.

I got a new handphone and my Ipod Touch within the same week, which is awesome.

Oh and I’ve been so behind on the news lately. I just read/watched the ridiculous stuff on the Miss Singapore World, Ris Low. Credit card fraud notwithstanding, she is just plain bimbotic (or at least the impression I have of her from the Youtube clip I watched), can’t even speak clearly (there are so many girls out there that speak way better), and just doesn’t have the pageant X-factor. Even if we don’t stand a chance of getting to the top five of the international Miss World pageant, whoever we send is going to be representative of what this country stands for. Is she really worthy of the title? I don’t know who is second in line to represent Singapore, but she probably is a better choice to send to the international pageant (Although, the rest of the girls ain’t so great either. Where are the pretty/brainy girls in Singapore?!! I know we have ‘em!!)

2009-08-10T01:59:00.002+08:00

honestly... i'm bored so here goes...

I started this blog in June of 2006, and now it's been 3+ years... How time flies.... Looking back at some of the posts, i think i've grown some (hopefully), my writing style has changed and OMG... i looked so different! At least i think i have better hair now... I've gotten over most teen emo-ey stuff (as emo as i could have been then, anyway) and hopefully i'll have something nice to look forward to before i hit the twenties (no much time left! it's in 3 months! I'm getting old)...

To my past memories... bye for now... I'm moving on to another stage of my life...

2009-08-02T13:26:00.001+08:00

I was lurking around livejournal communities and youtube when i found something interesting...

These are the inmates in the Cebu jail (Philippines). There are more from byronofgarcia's channel, Michael Jackson and some other songs i havent looked at...

This is awesome for a jail.. Next time i'm in Cebu, i wonder if i can sneak a peek there.. they might have a christmas performance... who knows... i know not all jails can do this but wouldn't it be nice to have rehab programmes like this?

2009-07-27T22:47:00.000+08:00

Ok... i've been hiding under a rock for the past few months since graduation, save for the odd outing here and there, most recently lil's birthday barbeque (happy birthday Lil!).

So before I go mad from hermit-ism, if there is such a term, please please ask me out! it's so hard to coordinate schedules and stuff, and i'm not good at organising such things! i'm free most evenings except tuesdays and thursdays (unless you tell me in advance), and on weekends. Just meet up for dinner, karaoke (which i have been asking for months to no avail, grrr you all *pouts*),chit chat also can! Tiffany and Regina, haven't seen you too for the longest time! please, sms/call me soon!

Plastic surgery

2009-07-20T17:41:00.001+08:00

Plastic surgery. Something many celebrities (or even the average joe/jane) rely on to look different. I say different, not better or more beautiful because it does not guarantee better looks or beauty. Some people get so worked up over so and so getting a nose job, double eyelid surgery, boob job etc… what I don’t get is, what is the big fuss. We all still love Michael Jackson, overdone face and all. We still watch the TV shows with actors and actresses who have had something done somewhere. I just think that it is so hypocritical to criticize someone that has/ has not (but due to late blooming, better human evolution looks like he has) gone through plastic surgery and then turn around and overlook the fact that the person that they like better has done IT and be all defensive over him or her. Seriously, who isn’t vain these days? So many people pay large amounts of money to go to dermatologists, slimming salons, for facials. What is the difference with plastic surgery? As long it is not so overdone that no one can recognize you anymore and it must make you feel better about yourself, I think it is fine.

KL

2009-07-02T00:26:00.001+08:00

Was in KL for the weekend and did a little bit of shopping. Despite the warnings of robberies and crime targeted at foreigners, KL is pretty safe as long as you don’t go round parading your tourist status. One would really need a car to get around though; it’s too much of a hassle to get a taxi, much less the public bus. Didn’t take any photos because there was nothing much to take, but I must say that Sunway Pyramid looked very pretty with the big Sphinx thingy. Price-wise for the shoppers, most of the clothes and stuff is almost comparable to Singapore, but if you’re there for the food, then you’re in for a treat because food is cheaper there. Got some Malaysian and Taiwanese magazines that weren’t available in Singapore, shoes, make-up and a couple of T-shirts that were on sale. And that was my weekend in Kuala Lumpur in brief. *bows and curtsies¬¬*
**On the side, today’s commuting to and from work was interesting. To work: It was raining cats and dogs when I reached Tanjong Pagar, the escalators weren’t working and the whole exit was full of human traffic. Some lame people even took photos with their camera phones while trying to get out, which is stupid cuz can’t you see everyone is stuck?! I think I even saw a dlsr or something like that taking photos *rolls eyes*. And I got soaked because I didn’t bring an umbrella.
On the way back home: A guy fainted in the MRT. Really sudden. He was out for half a minute. Everyone was shocked stiff and just stared till some people who were near him helped him up and let him sit. I think no one dared to move him at first cuz they were scared he might have a fit, in which case it would be wise not to move the guy any old how.

Clothes Quiz

2009-06-24T12:43:00.001+08:00

Aiyo the results of this clothes quiz is so contradicting....

What others see from your style
You probably live in your own little world and studiously avoid having to search for your own identity. You may feel that you are not loved, and being in your imaginary world is your way of coping with this. You get moody easily.

What your nightclothes reveal
You are friendly and always in good mood. You are candid and helpful, and can be sexy at times too.

What others see from your ties
You enjoy being alone. You like to life the simple but good life, and you cherish your freedom. You are thoughtful, confident and uninterested in glamour.

What others see from your belts
You are a kind of person who likes to hide your feelings. You may have a hot temper but tend to cover it with an outwardly calm and gentle demeanor. You are sensitive when it comes to love.

What others see from your shoes
You like to be the center of attention. You like to look good at all times and probably never leave the house without makeup on. Although you may be intelligent, you're also insecure about your looks. You care about others, and will always listen to what they have to say.

What others see from your earrings
You are probably a free spirit at heart with artistic talent. You are absolutely unique and are always coming up with lots of great ideas. Being happy is your most important goal.

The last analysis
You are probably a clever and adventurous person. You love to learn new things, and enjoy socializing with friends. Although you enjoy your freedom, you cherish peacefulness and like to spend time alone with your thoughts.

2009-06-21T17:14:00.001+08:00

Took this quiz that was on Audrey's blog sometime back.. true for most of the results, i think...

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I'm back to my old blogskin. The ones before weren't too satisfying... I've also added a Poupee Girl widget, from something that Tracy and I have been playing lately... It's actually pretty cute. Girls that love taking photos of their shopping stuff should this... Click on the widget to see why...

2009-06-10T10:15:00.003+08:00

I'm going to save this blog from the Grim Reaper with this post.

I've been pretty content for the most part since graduation, with a new laptop (courtesy of my grandma and aunt), a new bed (from my parents, duh) and a pretty okay job(s), which at least means income. So that just sums up what I've been up to lately, which is nothing much.

Can't wait for New Moon to come out on the big screen, and I found a countdown timer for this blog. Woots!

2009-05-25T10:33:00.000+08:00

I suppose I’m kind of obliged to write about graduation. Well, I guess it is kind of a big thing in my family for me to graduate from poly with the graduation gown and all, being the first grandchild (sort of) to do so. But to me, it’s just another thing we all have to go through. I don’t feel any different, except perhaps that I don’t have to go to school anymore (at least until I squeeze my way into university some day, and it’s not as if I went to school religiously as per my timetable anyway…).

I was more worried about my shoes flying off my feet on stage as they were feeling loose (which would be embarrassing in any situation, even more so on stage in front of hundreds of people), than feeling lost about what I’m going to do next now that I’ve graduated. I’ve always gone with the flow and so far the ride has been good. If I get a full-time job, that would be great. If I get into university, that would be great too. The thing is, I’ve been holding jobs and studying at the same time for nearly a quarter of my life, so adjusting wouldn’t be much of a problem.

While I have no strong feelings about graduation, I really need to thank all my poly project mates (especially Regina, Audrey, Tiffany and Kelvin), who have been great throughout all the projects. Thanks to the lecturers and tutors, especially those who gave me good grades (haha), who have been so much of an inspiration and guidance to me these past 3 years, whether they have actually taught me or not. And my parents, who have been nagging at me to ‘better do well’ and been supporting me and getting me out of many sticky ruts all these years. I know I’m not the easiest kid to handle. *cue tears*

So I’ve graduated. Congratulations to me. Congratulations to all of you who graduated too.

2009-05-12T11:11:00.003+08:00

Here's an article I wrote for my Journalism projects some time ago. Thought it was pretty good to share.

The strawberry generation, also known as Generation Y, is a term coined in Taiwan and refers to people born between the 1980s to the early 1990s. The general perception is that these people, having grown in a protected environment and with economic prosperity, are less able to withstand pressure or to do hard work, just like strawberries, which grow in a highly protected environment. So if you are in your twenties or late teens, you have unfortunately been classified as part of the strawberry generation.

Under the protective wings of family, they have little understanding of the difficulties and complexities of the real world, developing an unhealthy self-complacency. With the influence of the rapidly changing mass media, culture shocks from the East and West, coupled with the boundless Internet, they absorb massive amounts of information while developing an attitude and lifestyle quite different from the ‘old school’ concepts. They might be smart, but cannot cope with a heavy workload and intense working conditions. All of these make it difficult for them to adapt to the ‘real’ world.

I’m not sure if being generalized as part of the strawberry generation is an insult or underestimating the potential of Gen Y, but there are people whom I have met that fit the description of a ‘strawberry’. The world revolves around these people, they take everything they have for granted and everyone should cater to their needs only. Sometimes, these people are shockingly rude and uncouth, where has the Asian tradition of respect gone?

They do not work for their spending money, they can spend ten times of what I spend in a month in a day without batting an eyelid and when that runs out, they just go to their parents for more. They do not know what it feels like to be on a real tight budget, the kind that you would think twice about even going out to the mall to save on the travel fare, not the kind when you want to save to buy a Prada bag, because your parents said you busted your thousand-dollar credit limit. However, is this their fault?

The very people who label us as strawberries unfortunately might have to eat their words, as most of them would be parents of these ‘strawberries’. They spoil their children with huge allowances; give them what they want without making them work for it, and even protect them from punishment at school. I am sure you would have heard of parents who lodge complaints with the Ministry of Education just because the teacher was too strict and punished the child for not doing his homework.
A major weakness of the strawberry generation is the lack of planning for their future. They live only for their happiness and freedom while lacking a blueprint for their future life.

I cannot imagine what they would be like without the protection and financial backing from their parents. It is one thing for a parent to want to give your children the best life you can, but another to teach them discipline, to be independent, to work for what they want and not to take the things they have for granted.

That said, there are definitely some young people who are well-adapted, tough and know how to combine the good qualities of the “Strawberry Generation” and the wit of the old school styles. The true strawberries may rot away, but these other tough young people will survive and become future winners.

Your score on this personality test was 42%

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a longer time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

People somehow are never satisfied with what they are given or what they have. I guess this ‘unsatisfaction’ would usually bring about improvement, discoveries or breakthroughs. Therefore, if there are people who are unsatisfied with their leaders, whether it is in the workplace or their country, this may indicate that the leader has a weakness that he/she should take the opportunity to change or improve on.

However, pride usually comes with the role of a leader. One has to be confident of his/her role and present a strong image to the subordinates, which may sometimes lead to his/her head ballooning to the size of a hot-air balloon (metaphorically, of course). When a situation like this happens, the person in the role of the leader tends to forget all humility and start to ignore his/her weaknesses, the thoughts and opinions of his/her subordinates that may be crucial in decision-making as a leader.

Then, when a blunder is made, whether big or small, the subordinates will start to doubt the abilities of their leader. This is probably because a leader is supposed to be ‘perfect’, the best person for the job, which means that there is no room for a mistake, with no ‘s’ to indicate plural because the world can be so unforgiving . This problem within the hierarchy can be seen so often in the newspapers, political struggles, riots, companies collapsing and so on, all having to do (directly or indirectly) with a leader not being able to manage his role well.

For example, in a fast food restaurant, a manager (other than managerial duties) should be able to complete the tasks that a regular crew member has to do, especially if the role requires him/her to conduct training. On top of just completing the tasks, the manager has to understand the reasoning behind the tasks and be able to explain why the task has to be done. This will show that the manager has sufficient background and qualifications to be a leader, and worth respecting and listening to.

A leader has to be like an octopus. He/she no longer has the luxury of doing things one by one, he/she has to muliti-task. It is not imperative for all the jobs to be finished at the same time, but he/she should at least make sure everything is accounted for and keep up to date on the progress of each task. If I had to be in charge I would make lists or agendas of the things I need to go through for meetings and the tasks I have to complete, helping my team members make everything easier by being organised.

So, in my humblest opinion, I think leaders should live up to their status. They need to have a solid foundation in whatever job they do, and not let people below them in the hierarchy have the chance to doubt their abilities, as this will make the leader seem unreliable and not worthy of their role.

That said, I think everyone is a leader. You make decisions for yourself, you decide if you want to listen to instructions or not. You know the consequences of the options that you have (if you don’t, it means you haven’t got a brain to think). For example, if your mother asks you to see if the water in the pot is boiling, and you get scalded when you stick a finger in the water to see if it is hot enough. Why did you put a finger in the boiling water? Whose decision was it? The instruction was to check if the water was boiling. Your role was to decide how you wanted to complete the task. Do you blame your mother for asking you to check on the water? Or should you blame yourself for being plain stupid?

As such, while we might be able to blame the big mistake on a leader, think about the decision you made that landed you in this mistake as well, you should shoulder some of the blame and not be afraid to take the responsibility. After all, you learn from it and grow up, because as the cliché goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Ignorance sometimes annoys me. i admit, i'm not the most knowledgeable person around and there are so many things that i'm still unaware of. however, my point is when one knows that there is something that he/she does not know about and should know about (the sentence is a little complicated, keke...), he/she has to at least be proactive and do something about it.

Wikipedia says "Ignorance is the state in which a person lacks knowledge and is unaware of something. This should not be confused with being unintelligent, as one's level of intelligence and level of education or general awareness are not the same. The word "Ignorant" is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware."

You may think it is useless general information like current affairs, some origins of festivals or even keeping an eye on the market price for a certain gadget out in the market etc... BUT, it may come in useful when you may need to purchase a gadget or when someone happens to ask you for your opinion on a world event.

What's worse than ignorance is the lack of common sense. It's hard to explain, but it's when a person does/asks something and makes you think to yourself "Duh, shouldn't you know that already?" It can get so infuriating sometimes dealing like with people like these, as if you have to babysit them. Hello... Grow up already!

2009-04-15T11:10:00.001+08:00

There have been a few issues bothering me lately.

Public transport:
Fare prices have gone down slightly, which is a good thing and it is still efficient enough during the peak hours. However, what bothers me, no, IRRITATES me is the behavior of the passengers, especially people who want to grab seats (sad to say, these are usually the auntie stereotypes). There I am, minding my own business, not even standing in anyone’s way (and it’s not even crowded) and somehow these people manage to smack me with their handbags to position themselves in front of the door, almost pressing their noses onto it. I didn’t mind when it happened once, twice. But to have it happen almost everyday, at least TWICE a day made me feel like kicking these people’s asses into the train/bus, and make them fall on their faces so that I can step all over them.

Politics:
These are just general thoughts that pop up on the odd occasion that I watch the evening news. People overseas never seem to be satisfied with their leaders, even after an uprising or whatever it is that causes a change in leaders. It’s just protest after protest after protest. Why are these people so free to protest anyway? Don’t they have to work, or have something else to do? Instead of wasting time, effort and money challenging the people working in the government, why not just do your job/look for a job, earn money and just ‘relak one corner’? All these protesting is bad for health and just decreases tourism for that country anyway, and isn’t the root of all these protesting money? It’s just so ironic.

Food:
The Geylang Serai rojak food poisoning incident just strengthens my dislike to dine at hawker centres where the hygiene standard is questionable. The floor is black with grime and food that has dropped on the floor, tables are wet/sticky/oily, and the overall look of the stalls is just unappetizing. I’d rather eat at McDonald’s everyday and get fat than eat at such places. And the thing is, the rojak incident is just one out of many other food poisoning cases, many of which are not reported in the news. If you taste the food and it just doesn’t taste right, DON’T EAT IT.
Then there’s the melamine milk case in China. A lot of people think that the quality of Chinese goods is questionable, but it is actually the work of humans in general. You don’t have to be Chinese to put unhealthy stuff on your products to cut costs. I’m sure that there are other people who do that too, if you read the news closely.

Overseas phone calls:
I’ve been making loads of overseas phone calls for my temp job. While it has been sort of interesting talking to people from different countries, what is annoying are (meaning there are more than one) the automated telephone operators that either cannot direct you to an operator, or just leave you hanging on only to have the line cut off in the end. And then there are those that pass you on like a ball to 5 different people who can barely speak English only to tell you that the person you are looking for is not available and tells you to call back/call another number. The thing is, some of these places receive calls that are mostly from people who speak their native language, and then when I call in English, they panic and I end up getting passed on to 3 or 4 other people till they find one that can converse fluently in English or worse, I get cut off.
And then there are the snobby secretaries. They are mostly nice or at least polite to let you finish what you need to say, but those that cut you off and hang up are just itching for a whack on their bottoms.

There are more things that I want to rant about but can’t recall cuz I’m suffering from STM loss due to too much Facebooking. Till next time.

Although i've definitely watched more than 75 movies, this list just reminds me of the many movies that I wanna watch...

2009-03-29T06:00:00.002+08:00

Most of the past week has been pretty good for me. I did a second round of spring cleaning in my room, got to do abit of shopping, reading and got a temp job (which will hopefully turn into something more after). Downside is that 2 members of my household have turned into whiny walking bags of germs, resulting in me having to bear the brunt of the consequences that arise from this.

It would be alright if i didn't already have 2 jobs and money would just drop from the sky for me to spend and maintain my expenses. I just hope that they are not contagious. But even if i do get sick, I recover fast too.

For one, I don't bother people with stuff that i have to do, i still go to work/school, do my chores. I don't cry and whine just because i feel pain, cuz it's a waste of energy you could use to get well. I keep myself happy, eating ice cream even though i have a cold, watching comedies (after all laughter is the best medicine). I don't lie around moping and make people feel stressed. Mental and emotional strength is key to getting well besides the medication. I hate it when i have to go take a queue number and register at the clinic for someone, cuz no one ever does that for me whan i get sick, i go and register and even pay out of my own pocket (although its ok to pay for myself now that i have some income). Waiting at the clinic is such a waste of time, especially when i could be doing something else, like sleeping.

Well, this sick thing should blow over soon and is just a minor irritation. On the bright side, i bought quite a few things when i went out with tiffany on wednesday! I bought a pair of tights that look like jeans, a pair of ballet flats (think that's what they are called), SNSD's Gee mini album and New Moon. And Jolin's Butterfly album on Friday. So now i can cancel a few things off my wishlist!

2009-03-23T17:17:00.001+08:00

The sky was all red that evening and there was a rainbow out... I wish I stayed on a higher floor for a better view... cool right?

2009-03-21T00:39:00.004+08:00

Sort of got a job doing translations and stuff, along with my tutoring... so that should be able to support me a little...

however, i want to say that those sales people (particularly those selling insurance) are super annoying... if i do not stop to entertain you means i'm NOT INTERESTED!

I wasted 5 precious minutes with this skinny guy blabbering about nothing... and thank goodness i'm a pretty good liar when i want to be... pretending that i have to go to work (when it is 4+PM on a friday... how dumb is that?) and that i knew that bank interest rates are going down (quote the news, duh...). even if i was actually going to work or knew about interest rates, i wouldn't be interested in a savings plan UNLESS the interest i earn is 100% or more...

Anyway, that said, i can't wait to get my hands on Super Junior's 3rd album and Jolin's Butterfly album!!!

Custom-designed real diamond-encrusted ballerina tutu... cool or what?

2009-03-11T22:46:00.002+08:00

I am pretty happy today... mostly...

Aside from the news that i would be losing a little bit of income, everything else today was good news. I ACTUALLY PASSED MEDIA LAW!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG... I actually got a C... I was so prepared to take the supps... and hoping for the best (that i'd just pass with a D), but a C is way better...

besides that, i actually got 2 As. I've never gotten 2 As in a semester before, i hope this will help pull up my lousy CGPA... It's abit sad that i didn't get a pass with commendation for SIP though... i tried really hard...

And, at the mediabiz awards (which was pretty entertaining), we got an award for best magazine... i really thought that one of the fashion magazines would win... cuz their final product looked so good...

Oh well, seems like i'll be getting that graduation package in the mail after all... and if anyone has some freelance writing jobs, throw it my way, ya? thanks a bunch...

What kind of love life will you have?
(Did this quiz, and thought the results for this was one of the more accurate ones that i've done so in my recent boredom so far... just edited the lousy english... )

A person who is free minded will be attracted to you.

You are warm and always in love. This is the kind of relationship you want to maintain with your partner.

For you Love is commitment for both parties. (So true...)

Your impression of your lover is a stylish person. (Don't know what this means...)

You do not want ruthless, cold-blooded, and/or irony in your partner. (Who would actually want this?)

You are a caring person. You won't do any wrong things after marriage.

You love freedom. So you are afraid of marriage. (the freedom part is true... Don't know about the marriage part...)

Your nature is straight forward. You want just he/she loves you. (TRUE TRUE TRUE)

2009-03-10T15:10:00.002+08:00

i've been watching variety shows, reality shows, drama and once in a while, the news. why is it that there is so much difference between a TV show and reality that comes from the same country. they walk the same streets, shop at the same shops, and hang out at the same spots but yet one world is so much preferable to the other? the two ideas are really hard to reconcile...

2009-03-08T19:51:00.004+08:00

As usual, haven't been up to much except celebrating Ruobing's birthday in a way that i would never have done in any normal birthday circumstances.

I queued for 2 hours to get luo zhi xiang's album signed!

No matter how much i like a singer/celebrity/artiste, as much as i do want to meet them, my dislike for crowds precedes any consideration to even think of going. if not for the fact that ruobing is my really really close friend, having spent 4 years together in secondary school and that it was her birthday, AND the fact that the event was at eastpoint, I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE.

Not that i really minded, since my sister (show luo fan extraordinaire) said that he would finish signing all the albums, so we didn't have to queue from the morning to be in front to ensure that we got our albums signed. so we wandered around eastpoint, looking at books and stuff (she's one of the few people that would spend hours in a bookshop with me) till he came and went to queue after his performance.

oh and luckily i bought my album early, cuz those sold at the event cost an extra 5bucks at $30! i should have expected it. i had to buy 3 extra albums for ruobing, my sister and her friend and i only had $80 and had to run to the atm just to fish out the remaining $10 i needed. oh well, take it as money earned to cover the cost of the event.

xiaozhu's fans were mostly female, and i noticed that it is really useful to have a boyfriend during these times, cuz queueing in such a crowd is no joke. you need a boyfriend to buy you food, run your errands, and keep you entertained while you queue.

so that was that. oh, and i cried buckets watching marley and me with audrey and regina during the day. a rare sight, coming from me. i would think it is pretty hard to get an exaggerated reaction from me. nothing really shocks me, and i don't know why. anyone has any idea?

2009-03-01T13:14:00.002+08:00

Not much up with me, except that i'm sort of done with school and enjoying some time off while on the lookout for a job... hopefully freelance for now...

Spent a nice Valentine's Day in at Regina's house with her, tiffany and audrey yesterday, going through 4 movies (Get Smart, 27 Dresses, Connected and Baby Mama) snacks and 2 pizzas. After watching 27 Dresses, i realised that there are so many more things to prepare and go through for a wedding than i already knew... or maybe it's just the culture in America... here are some interesting things i found out...

The Colour of your wedding dresses MATTER!

Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you will live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.

Can't decide when to get married? Take a look at this!

Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true.
When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden and for Man.
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bred.
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.

2009-02-12T23:13:00.003+08:00

it's funny...

how you can love someone you hardly know...

never met...

never talked to...

never been physically near to within a radius of uncountable miles...

it's possible

Happy Baby Valentine's!

Haven't blogged for some time with all the stuff there is to do... There's only a week left to school and after that is just preparing for the stupid Media Law exam which I have given up on going for lectures for the longest time. I wish I had some kind of body double who is more motivated than I am to help me to do the work, but the only comfort is that everything seems to be going pretty well and taking shape already... In the meantime, I bought Onew Cake!!! It's a korean import that can be bought from Cheers and tastes pretty good! It's a little on the expensive side though... but so worth it!

Ate it at my students' house... kekeke... been eating (read:spending) a lot of food these days in the name of food reviews for projects and relaxation. NOT GOOD!!!

We are supposed to have a term break... key word: supposed

What is a 2 week break with multitudes of research and layouts to do, group meetings, and working around everyone's schedules? NOTHING
I want to vent and rant and whatnot, but i shall not for self-preservation and achieving karma points. Shall settle for saying that the past few weeks of school has made me pissed off, mentally tired and caused pre-pms (the irony of it). It all boils down to one particular character in the game that is called my life.

I think my blood pressure has gone up and my lifespan has shortened by about 50 years.

I'm going to die soon.

2008-11-30T23:13:00.003+08:00

This post is late by a few days but then again, it actually doesn't really feel different being 19. It's actually just another day. While I didn't expect much fanfare over my birthday, things were a little disappointing on the homeside which i shall not elaborate on... But a huge thanks goes out to all who remembered little insignificant (to the world) me on 27th Nov... Tracy (probably the earliest, who wished me on facebook, but i didn't see the message till the day after cuz i don't have a habit of checking...) Audrey, Regina, Tiffany, Lilian, Sarah, Ruobing and even Perry (whom i don't think actually said happy birthday, but he came to eat the birthday lunch with us anyway... which is very nice of him...) and everyone else that i cannot remember... We ate at Din Tai Fung for the xiao long baos then had dessert at Swensens... Forgot to take photos of the food cuz we were hungry by the time the food came...

Advantages of being 19: Not being 20 yet. At least you are still a -teen.

The next time i get to go to kbox, i wanna sing this song...

安静了
SHE

只剩下钢琴陪我站在这里
梦想中属於我们的婚礼
却成了单人结婚进行曲
在这场爱情脚里的拔河里
爱我还是爱你
你选择了自己
wo~撒娇的
可爱的迷人的爱哭的
照片里曾经都是你喜欢的
如今我还在原地
你却走回你的记忆
你说我爱你太多
就快要把你淹没
你害怕幸福短暂一秒就崩落
分开是一种解脱
让你好好的想我
我想要的那片天空
你是不是能够给我
你说我给你太多
却不能给我什麽
分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑
爱情是一道伤口我们各自苦痛
什麽是我最后温柔
是因为我太爱你

2008-11-19T23:56:00.003+08:00

I haven't been writing for quite a while... quite the hermit nowadays really... but i'm starting to grasp the tempo at school now and getting out and about again... the deadlines are torturous, with about one a week on average but i've good group members who are on the ball with the projects so they make work a real breeze... we do face problems of course, but i guess no one really wants to cause trouble for anyone especially since it's our last semester... I don't feel the kind of project stress i used to before SIP... guess working in the industry for awhile does have its advantages... you get more organised or something like that...

Just got better from a bad case of flu which pretty much made me like a choked up exhaust pipe, the only benefit i got from that was a 2-day MC and a more bass-y voice, which is gone now... sadly... and the meds were strong... which made me miss out on quite a bit of drama... something that i partially regret... only cuz i couldnt join the fun...

Although it is a little hard to swallow, media law is so much easier to stomach than BMR (sorry, miss chuah, but numbers, research and i, aren't really the best of friends... or even friends, for that matter) but tutorials feel weird... the answers to the questions tend to be vague, but i guess law is pretty subject to interpretation...

Oh and britney spears is looking so much better now... i know some people don't like her cuz of the things she did in the past few years, but i think the britney we used to know from Baby One More Time is coming back... "Womanizer" is great, she looked great performing with Madonna on tour, i think i'm going to buy her album when it comes out (although it has been leaked, i heard)... oooh, i love britney (and i still harbour hopes of her getting back with justin timberlake... although i never really thought much of the guy...)

2008-10-29T00:50:00.002+08:00

Savannah's name is officially Savannah Chantelle... Thank goodness... the Fatima Mulan thing was just a joke (where's the funny part? I'm trying to find it too...)

Anyway its back to school and it's been pretty cool so far, just that our first newpaper deadline is too ridiculously close for comfort (but then again, real newspapers have a DAILY deadline...) and it's not like there is alot going on in school for now... I'm in charge of the 'Glitz' section, which is more entertainment, thank goodness... I think High School Musical 3 is worth reviewing for the paper, since i just watched it today... it's pretty sweet...

2008-10-15T18:41:00.003+08:00

There's been a bit of excitement at home the past week cuz... I have a new cousin and a new niece! They are both girls and born within a week of each other... here they are! Both of them were born in Philippines so I haven't actually got to see them except for pictures and through the webcam...

This is my cousin, Katie Love Lee... Cute name right? Love Lee... Hahaha... Seems like she might be a blondie! Why the name? I don't know but her older sister is Khristine Gay so they wanted it to match...

And this...

Is my niece Savannah! Just a day old when this was taken... Tentative full name: Savannah Fatima Mulan Lim... DON'T ASK ABOUT THE NAME... I don't know where that came from... Although it was the fiesta of Saint Fatima on the day she was born... As for Mulan... hmm... It was originally supposed to be just Savannah Chantelle, which I kind of like...

Anyway... Welcome to the world babies! Can't wait to see you!

2008-10-14T20:11:00.013+08:00

I've been lazing around lately... not doing much except for tuition... but there has been a whole lot to watch online and songs to listen to... I've been watching reality (although I don't know how real they are) programmes and they are so funny!

Here is my list:

1. We Got Married

A korean reality variety show where celebrities get paired up to live the 'married' life and complete missions like looking after babies, going on honeymoon vacations, exercising together and taking wedding photos. Popular couple Andy and Solbi just left the show, but my favourite Lettuce couple (nickname given by their fans) seem to be progressing well! Hope that they get the baby mission soon!

Hwang Bo and Hyun Joong (aka Lettuce Couple)

2. Shinee's Yun Ha Nam Reality Show (Younger Man)

This group's oldest member is younger than me by a month. I generally don't look out for younger guy artistes, but this watching this group can be quite entertaining, not to mention they have pretty good songs on their album too. Anyway, this show is based on their song Noona (Older Sister) is So Pretty (Replay), where they 'date' older girls and the Noona chooses one of them for a one-on-one date, Bachelorette style. Minho, the second-youngest of the group, turned out to be a really thoughtful person. He is usually the quietest of the lot, but he actually outperformed the rest of the group when he was chosen for a one-on-one date (in my opinion anyway).

Shinee

Minho - Height: 181cm! Age: 17!
aka Flaming Charisma (his 'role' in Shinee)

3. Factory Girl

Shinee's seniors, Girls' Generation are also fashion magazine editors! For Elle Girl, no less. But as we all know, they are just interns/assistants. I've only watched one episode so far, since it's a new series, so whether this series is worth watching remains to be determined. However, they were split into 2 teams to brainstorm for a make up style, and one came up with an idea to use a snake in the photoshop and the other used a mini pig. Their pet shops are so nice there! Haha... and the pig was so cute!

It's all OVER

2008-10-03T20:23:00.004+08:00

I'm done with internship. It has been sort of an emotional and mental rollercoaster and took all I had to remain sane. Thankfully I got off the ride without any scrapes and went for karaoke session with Aud, Qianru, Sammie and Effie. It was serious fun and singing just frees me of thought for the few minutes a song lasts. Everyone was great and I tried singing backup for Effie in one song and realised I haven't practised harmonising for a long time... Another k session soon, ok? This time with Tracy who zoomed to Shanghai straight after internship ended... Remember to bring back presents this time please... thanks! Haha...

Till the next outing it's back to writing my SIP report... I just finished the introduction and it's 3 pages long, but I don't know how long it should be... Hope it fits into 15 pages...

2008-08-09T22:28:00.002+08:00

I am seriously bored out of my wits. Internship has taken a rather uncomfortable turn and there's still 7 agonising weeks to go. And it's only agonising because I now have to work on weekend events and longer hours. And it's not like anyone can do anything about it.

**Hankyung ran for Olympics Torch Relay in Beijing. Sad that it was only 20m (39km divided by 841 runners!), but I'm so proud of you!

Oh, and Happy National Day all you Singaporeans!

2008-08-06T22:56:00.000+08:00

A lot has happened since the last time I blogged here and I really don't feel like repeating myself, so if you can read chinese you can go to my chinese blog and read my entry there. Been feeling really emo due to the stuff that has happened in the last week and those who have been talking to me should know. Anyway, I been transferred (quite unwillingly, but it's not like I have a choice) to another department. It will take some time to adjust as the working environment is a whole lot different and the working culture is different. But so far it has been ok, and credit goes to Keith Neubronner for helping me through it, even though he has so much to do himself. He is such a lifesaver and I wouldn't know what to do without him. Just need to grin and bear it for slightly less than 2 months, then it is ALL OVER. Got a few events coming up, so I'll be kept busy and hopefully time will fly and end my current agony.

2008-07-02T10:38:00.002+08:00

I haven't been writing all that often, which means that I have been busier since my last post... And i'm happy about it... At least I'm not wasting time moping about the office, which is a serious waste of time and allowing my brain cells to die without being sufficiently used... Well, colleagues have been sorting out stuff in the office and guess what? There is a humungous, absolutely disgusting termite (or some other yucky bug) nest in the store room! It makes me squirm... eew... so i'm trying not to go anywhere near there anytime soon...

I've been listening to Class 95's Morning Express on my way to work recently and Glenn and the FD have been talking about Singaporeans' good and bad habits. Since i started my internship, i have been subject to long bus rides and being out in public for longer periods of time, and i have noticed some really annoying ones lately too... I'm not really complaining, but these are more of my observations...

1. Ah peks spitting in the bus. IN THE BUS! for crying out loud! RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME on the bus floor! and the uncle just swiped his disgusting spittle with his ah pek flip flops! I couldn't say anything because i was too shocked at what he did. I turned my head a little and saw another commuter staring, or rather glaring, at the uncle! the uncle got off a few stops later and a lady came to take his seat, unknowingly stepping on where the spit had just been! i took all of this in but still, it was hard to swallow...

2. People littering. I was going home late after staying for a broadcast, waiting for my bus at the Tai Seng/Paya Lebar area, and here come these two foreign workers (i assume) with drink cans in hand. They stop a distance away from the bus stop (where i was at) and apparently finished their drinks and just threw it on to the ground (there were these barrier things where they LITTERED, cuz there was some road work being done). The thing i must highlight is, they were just a few metres away from the bus stop. And what does a bus stop have? Oh right, A RUBBISH BIN!

3. Queues. This one is minor, but still a problem. At the bus interchange, there are barriers and stuff that indicate that this is where you must queue if you want to take this particular bus. But some people just don't bother to go in and queue. Instead, they wait where the bus is going to pick the passengers up. What i don't get is, they will wait for everyone in the proper queue to get up the bus before going up themselves (which is nice, and right of them cuz they aren't in the proper queue) and if it is crowded they don't get a seat, but they came before those who are in the queue, so they may as well have queued and got a seat, right?

4. In buses (or public transport). A few problems here.
I try to move to the back if the bus is crowded. But some people just block the way in and people coming in front just get squashed or aren't able to get up the bus.
I usually fall asleep on the bus as it is a long ride to and from work. Someone comes and sits beside me. He/she has a huge bag. Jabs me with it. Once is fine, probably just a coincidence. But this has happened too many times. Can't people just be careful with their bags?
Noisy people or screaming kids. You don't have to let the whole world know what you talking about. Kids should learn to know when shut up. I love kids, but screaming is a no no in public. I have taught my baby cousins (ok, they are not babies anymore) to behave themselves in public, sometimes with a little reward. If i, a 18/19-year-old can teach kids to behave, parents can too. It is particularly annoying in the early morning and evening when people aren't fully awake yet or are especially tired. I have seen an auntie scream on the phone in chinese at her teenage kid (i assume) to get home before she does in an annoyingly high-pitched voice. Apparently the other party did not inform her about going somewhere else and she probably already prepared dinner, and you know how mothers can get when you don't come home for dinner without telling them. But she didn't have to air her dirty laundry, did she?

That's all i can remember for now, back to editing programmes... Ciao!

Work has been AWFUL. Not because of the workload, not because of the colleagues, not anything. Because I'm bored. Seriously, it's like everyone is busy doing stuff, but there i am, staring at my computer. JUST STARING, and trying not to fall asleep. I have taken to playing sudoku. SUDOKU. SUDOKU!!! But even that bores me. And today was killer. Because by 3pm, I was the only one in the office (from my department/service, excluding the supervisor). Only 2 producers were around today. And the rest were on leave. It's so quiet, i could slice the silence with my blunt penknife.

AND not to mention it's been like the North Pole in the office and especially the studios. The air-conditioning has been tweaked and it's FREEZING! Seriously, people are going to get sick with the temperature difference in and out. I already have asthma and this is going to make it worse.

I have stuff to do, of course, programmes and designing and so on... but i've either finished with the week's programmes or done the designs, and those are waiting to be vetted. So i end up with nothing. I even had time to stage a mini-'news broadcast' with the other chinese intern in the conty! I've been going in slightly later than usual and going home early, which makes me feel kind of bad. But the producers keep telling me to go home once i'm done with the day's current affairs synopsis, so like a good girl, i do as i'm told. I have one less programme next week, which means even more boredom... maybe i should start on my SIP report...

2008-06-03T20:18:00.003+08:00

All i wanted was a peaceful internship.
But no, the department i work for will be closed in approximately 2 months.
Thanks.
Feeling like crap right now.
Don't want to go anywhere else because it would be pointless.
Wasting time getting used to another environment again.
I will flip if i get sent to the newsroom or tv and have to work shifts.
Heart-wrenching to see the veterans weep, although there will be re-deployment for them.
While work will still have to get done, the atmosphere at the office is depressing.
It feels like my last day at Mcd CA1... Gosh it's like deja vu...

Am going to sleep this annoyance off.

2008-05-31T00:08:00.005+08:00

I was listening to my old CDs and came across this song that I really liked but hadn't heard in a long time... 大男人宣言 (Chauvinist's Declaration) by张善为. It's really sweet... cuz he mentions what he expects of his sweetheart, but only because he loves her... it made me think of what i'd look for in a guy too... haha... so here's my list...

older than me (i think older guys are more mature... or so i hope... i have been proven wrong on occasion...)

an intellectual equal (by this i mean that we can connect and have something in common)

has good driving skills (i have my reasons for not wanting to learn to drive, though i very well could if i wanted to...)

has the special ability to understand my thoughts (this, even my family has yet to acquire...)

is punctual, responsible, and doesn't forget or break promises...

can get along with my parents... (my parents would love a boy in the house, i tell you...)

has nice hands...

appearance is secondary... although i like looking at a person's back... especially when he/she is walking... it tells a lot about a person...

This story was reported sometime ago in the 10pm news... a very touching story about from disastrous Sichuan earthquake.

抢救人员发现她的时候，她已死了，是被垮塌下来的房子压死的，透过那一堆废墟的的间隙可以看到她死亡的姿势，

When rescuers found her, she was already dead, crushed by the collapsed house. Through gaps in the rubbles, they could see her posture.

双膝跪着，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶着地支撑着身体，有些象古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压的变形了，看上去有些诡异。

Kneeling on both knees, her entire upper body bent forward, held up by her two hands pressed against the ground, as if performing the ceremonial bow in an ancient ritual. Except, her body had been compressed out of shape and looked somewhat eerie.

救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已�shy;死亡，又在冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在在砖头上敲了几下，里面没有任何回应。

A rescuer extended his hand through a gap and confirmed her death. He called out to her, and tapped on the bricks with his shaft, but received no response.

当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊'快过来'。他又来到她的尸体前，费力的把手伸进女人的身子底下摸索，

As the team walked toward next building, the squad leader suddenly turned back, yelling as he ran, 'Come quick!' He came to her remain, labored to maneuver his hand under her body, searching.

他摸了几下高声的喊'有人，有个孩子，还活着'。

He called out following some rummaging, 'There's someone, a child, still alive.'

过一番努力，人们小心的把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺着她的孩子，包在一个红色带黄花的小被子里，大概有3、4个月大，

With some effort, rescuers carefully removed the debris burying her, found her child lying beneath her, bundled in a little red blanket decorated with yellow flower prints. He was about 3-4 months old.

因为母亲身体庇护着，他毫发未伤，抱出来的时候，他还安静的睡着，他熟睡的脸让所有在场的人感到很温暖。

Shielded by his mother's body , he was totally unharmed, sleeping peacefully as he was brought out. His soundly asleep face warmed the hearts of all rescuers on the scene.

随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意识的看了下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已�shy;写好的短信

As the rescue team's doctor unbundled the blanket to examine the baby, he discovered a mobile phone tucked into the blanket. He subconsciously looked at the display, found there was a SMS message.

'亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你'，看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一刻落泪了，手机传递着，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。

'My Dear Baby, If you were to stay alive, you must remember that I love you.' No stranger to the pain and sorrow brought by death, the doctor nonetheless wept at this moment. The cell phone was passed around, every person who read the message wept.

The power of a mother's love allowed such a miracle to happen. It just makes me wonder about the magnitude of a human being's willpower and emotions.

On another note, I've been feeling quite down lately. It could be work-related or otherwise, but I've been reading my horoscope lately and they've turned out pretty accurate. Oh well, I just hope it will turn around soon cuz the 'down' feeling is pretty depressing and it's getting harder to maintain a cheerful facade especially when I have a few tasks on hand... I need to sing and get everything out of my system... Anyone up for a spot of karaoke? Drop an SMS or IM me... before I turn mental...

2008-05-18T17:40:00.004+08:00

Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Tibet around the year 1525. Your profession was that of a seaman, dealer, businessman or broker.
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:Bohemian personality, mysterious, highly gifted, capable to understand ancient books. With a magician's abilities, you could have been a servant of dark forces.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:The timid, lonely and self-confident people are everywhere, and your task is to overcome these tendencies in yourself and then to help other people.

2008-05-03T16:09:00.002+08:00

Internship has been awesome so far, heaven to what i've heard from others... I have my fair share of tasks and pretty much full control of whatever i want to do, great colleagues... they may be almost a decade older on average, but it is not hard to talk to them... it's interesting to observe what older people talk about and find that they are not so different after all... It's heartening to know that everything we learnt at school is relevant and it's so great to see the producers at work and how they manage to find topics to produce everyday... I don't envy the current affairs part though, cuz you need to know loads of history to be able to give credible analyses of a particular issue... but the hot topics i know now are the rising food prices and the olympic torch relay... hehehe... i've been working on my own programme too... which is great cuz it gives me something to do other than waiting around for people to give me stuff to do... My dreamweaver and web skills have improved by leaps and bounds too... thanks to JW who taught me loads... most probably without meaning to... cuz i didn't do too well in year 1 for EssGra dreamweaver skills test... i've been pretty satisfied with my CD cover designs of late too... so everything's been going pretty well... and 21 more weeks to go...

2008-04-26T23:28:00.003+08:00

2 weeks have gone past internship in a flash, the next 22 weeks will be nothing... the next thing i know, i'll probably be graduating... gosh the first day in poly was just like yesterday...

I'm doing my internship now in the media industry... duh since i am in CMM but for self-preservation purposes, it's still better not to announce where. I'll only tell that it is the chinese department somewhere.

The work has been pretty easy to grasp despite the technical errors here and there, and there is alot of creative space to work with. The seniors and supervisors have been very welcoming and hospitable and i must say it wasn't hard to come out of my usually hard shell on just the first day. oh well, we'll just see what is in store for me next.

2008-04-02T22:42:00.003+08:00

Before the holidays come to an end, here's a post of my favourite songs... songs that i will never tire of listening to or singing in the bathroom...(teehee!)

Whitney Houston

The Greatest Love of All
*and Tracy, here's something for you if you see this. Click here

HOT&SES
version

Try It On My Own

Dolly Parton

Just When I Needed You Most

and there is a super cute rendition by SungMin! (kekeke!)

Christina Aguilera

I Turn To You

Classic, these songs!

2008-03-30T00:20:00.002+08:00

I haven't been blogging but it's not like people actually visit this blog all that often anyway. SIP is in 2 weeks and i got posted to a pretty cool place (i'm guessing) albeit a little out of the way for a person who lives in tampines. i say out of the way cuz no place in Singapore is actually that far, being as small as it is. So the only thing i'm not looking forward to is the travelling, unless some kind soul offers to drive me to work, and that is wishful thinking.

Anyway, the Olympic torch is on its way to China and i'm really happy that HAN KYUNG is one of the TORCH BEARERS! WAHAHAHA...
Another thing is that i hope that Zhang Liyin will come to promote her album in Singapore... my sister heard rumours that she might come!! I hope!!

2008-03-03T13:23:00.000+08:00

I love this song, and it's sung by no less than MJ!

Ben

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With my friend to call my own I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
There's something you should know, you've got a place to go

I used to say, "I", And "Me"
Now it's "Us", Now it's "We"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again if they had a friend like Ben
Like Ben, like Ben

2008-03-03T11:51:00.003+08:00

It's hard. When you want to go out with friends, yet beloved relatives whom you only see once in a blue moon come to visit. It takes me days and night to decide which. I'm sorry, I chose family over friends. If my friends can't accept that, it's fine. Because people have their own lifestyle and different family interactions. It's only been these few years that i've been closer to my family overseas because of money issues, they've had a hard life. It was more than 10 years in between the last meeting, till now. So when i say my family story is complicated, you don't know the half of it. It could make for a very long soap opera a la Days of our Lives.

That, and the fact that i'm seriously broke limits my outings. I've got to live on 30bucks for 2 weeks to maintain a reasonable amount of cash in my account.

Your understanding is appreciated.

2008-02-28T15:24:00.002+08:00

I haven't been going out with friends, blogging or (appearing) online for awhile... haven't been feeling too good... a little depressed cuz of stuff that's been happening lately... but i'll be back on the scene soon... cuz the exams are OVER! SIP is coming up, but i think that will be much easier than having to mug and study... anyway my favourite Chinese/Korean singer Jang Ri In has just released her new chinese album! The best part is Han Kyung and Siwon are in it! It's the exact same cast from Timeless, just that the story spans 2 different songs... and... and... Han Kyung dies AGAIN! Can't he just have a romantic story ending??? Oh well, i think he would do well as an actor so hopefully we'll see him in a drama soon...

Part 1: I Will

Part 2: Lovers

2008-02-16T02:00:00.002+08:00

The project rush is OVER! but i'm still giddy from it and not feeling well... anyhow, i'm looking forward to the exams cuz once they're over, the holidays are here!

Pretty reasonable grades throughout this semester... don't know about cl newswriting cuz miss chuah never released the grades, but the rest are As and Bs (except for CCC journals and i still don't know about the group projects), so i hope it will pull my sucky GPA up a notch or two...

I AM GOING TO STUDY THIS STUDY WEEK!

But i want to watch so many movies! This month's releases are awesome! Even the local productions!

Ah Long Pte Ltd
The Leap Years
Sweeney Todd (!!!)

On the above clip:

Such atrocity! It is so wrong for them to generalize Singaporeans speaking like that. I definitely don't speak like that, nor do most people I know. Singlish is just the equivalent of Taiwanese english, so if they can't get their own information right, they have no authority whatsoever to comment in such a rude manner.

Issue 1: Accent
Everyone has his/her own accent. There is no fixed or correct accent.

Issue 2: Intonation
They must have met with the Chinese Singaporeans from the examples they brought up. So the intonation has its root in Mandarin.

Issue 3: They can't understand our English.
What? At least our English is clearer than theirs, and not limited to whatever they can make out. Blame their poor understanding of the language. I definitely can pronounce the difference between 'thanks' and 'dance'!

Issue 4: ABCs keep out.
Just because your english is learned from English-speaking countries doesn't give you a right to show off. Because it just shows how little you know about how other countries, their lingo and culture, country bumpkin!

With that settled, Singaporeans should learn how to speak more clearly. It's a bad habit to have a lazy mouth. I know there are people who pronounce 'breakfast' as 'brAckfiRst', and 'thank you' as 'tank you'. English should be spoken with an open mouth and the words will be enunciated more clearly, so that ignorant people will not think that 'thanks' is 'dance'.

I hope i pass my MEP.

Happy New Year

2008-01-01T19:19:00.000+08:00

Happy 2008!
It's the time where everyone makes resolutions they usually can't keep, evaluate their year and start from zero again.
My year has been pretty good, with better grades and the attachment to china was a huge bonus along with other small bouts of good luck. I'm thankful for that.
And another thing, i've finally left mac... hahaha... another load of my shoulders... working there has taught me alot, but i guess it's time to move on and give way for others to learn what i did as well...

And January brings on the project rush... so i'm off to deal with After Effects for the multimedia project...
Happy New Year!

List of Touching Music Videos

2007-12-19T17:06:00.001+08:00

Tracy told me today in the audio suite that she was learning to sing Because I'm a Girl by Kiss. Which made me want to watch the music video, which then led to me watching similar videos and making a list of sweet/touching/sad videos. Here's my favourite (in no particular order):

Because I'm A Girl

Ye Zi

Wo Ai Ni

Without Your Love

Yue Gui Nv Shen

Timeless

it's been awhile

2007-12-18T12:42:00.000+08:00

now that one project rush is over, and so is the cross cultural term test (which turned out to be pretty simple... if i had studied properly...) it's time to loosen the hair a little and watch a few dramas... hee... i know i have been going on and on about Golden Bride and whatnot... but it is really good, in terms of the story concept... there is a little plot with every character, and has quite a few themes going on too (so film theory, i know, but hey i'm using what i learnt), about marriage, lies, cultural differences (OMG, CCC!) and so on... it's going to be 70 episodes long... and i don't mind cuz heechul is in it and he is just so annoyingly cute in it... i heard he is going to have a baby out of wedlock cuz the parents (both sides) don't agree to their marriage...

It Started with a Kiss 2: They Kiss Again is out too... the first episode is out and the much awaited bed scene is just alright... nothing too much, although Guam is nice... i don't know why people make such a big fuss over Ariel and Joe doing a bed scene... they are actors, what is a romantic scene (for a married couple, especially) without that kiss scene. And it wouldn't be titled It Started with a Kiss 2: They Kiss Again...

Just one more drama that i'm watching: Bull Fighting. Ok, it doesn't sound good in english but the chinese title definitely brings out the spirit.. basketball lovers should watch... plot is a little slow but it is pretty interesting...

there has been quite a few tv specials the past few days, the 25 years of chinese drama, golden horse awards, and miss world... a few comments cuz i don't really have the energy for word vomit after a agonising day at work...

- someone(s) has to sponsor clothes, grooming and whatnot for pageant delegates... they are representing Singapore after... if we can sponsor arrogant so-called prodigies for study in expensive schools, definitely we can afford a fraction of that for our delegates... and i truly believe that the Miss Singapores (World or Universe) are well-educated and not bimbos (well, most of them, anyway...), some even have degrees... oh, and this comment applies to the delegates in Team Singapore too... show some support, people! i would if i could afford it... it just takes ONE to start the ball rolling...

- the 25 years of chinese drama thing... made me tear... newbie actors have alot of catching up to do... acting cute and looking handsome is NOT the way to go if you want to last long in the limelight...

- gurmit singh was sort of an attention-grabber on the golden horse red carpet... fann wong's dress was erm...

Cross cultural to study for but it's annoying when i think about the fact that i lost my file with all my notes in it... not to mention the handouts... grrr...
signing out.

国外实习计划

2007-12-08T23:16:00.000+08:00

参加国外实习计划的淡马锡商业学校学生，为了和正在考虑学生实习机会的学弟学妹们分享他们在外国实习的经验，在学校讲堂外的走廊摆出了在各自实习国家的生活照。学生们都发挥了创意，用各种各样的艺术材料把所拍的照片描述得淋漓尽致，夺人目光。很多实习的地点都在中国的省份，如武汉和上海。参观者能从照片中感受到实习生在异国的生活，工作概况，甚至是他们去观光的景点，如上海的东方明珠。

the post above is for chinese newswriting tutorial assignment...
my sister cut her hair today... Looks pretty alright... but it reminded me that i should get something done to my own hair soon cuz haircuts will cost way more soon due to the festive season... or maybe it already has, i don't know... i'm contemplating short hair but i'll miss my curls... oh well...
There's only four lectures to study for cross cultural comms, but SEVEN chapters of the textbook to trudge through and i have only done ONE in three hours... i have to work tomorrow, which will take up the day ( i want to quit this job by the way...).. and six more chapters to get through... it's just like social studies+media and society all over again... oh, i'm getting a headache...

Isn't this cute? I like little kittens!

Oh, and this joke i found is simply brainless!!!

This Iz A Stikkup!

San Francisco: A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he was not the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said "OK" and left. The Wells Fargo teller then called the police who arrested the man a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.

i was chatting on QQ with one of my students from China and she said her class thought i was pretty... heh, i had time to dress up there so they haven't seen the blah side of me... they should just see how i am at school... they haven't even seen me wearing the thick glasses... i look extremely different you won't even recognise me... but thanks to 07双1 for their compliment anyway...

a little commercial break

2007-12-06T19:01:00.000+08:00

i've been blogging less and less lately... due to the fact that my life has been pretty redundant lately... all the normal screw ups and blunders during tutorials and stoning during lectures. But there is cross cultural term test, and i bought the textbook to study for it... better get a decent grade on that one... meanwhile, it's been hard to coordinate group meetings which resulted in a few last minute stuff... but it should get better soon... term break is in a week, so i hope i can get stuff done and have time to catch up on dramas...

List of Dramas i wanna watch
Thank You
Bull Fighting
X Family
Romantic Princess
It Started with a Kiss 2: They Kiss Again
Hwang Jini
Witch Yoo Hee
Golden Bride

In limbo

2007-12-01T17:54:00.000+08:00

There's lots to do and so little time.

But there's nothing like Heechul-style Puss In Boots to cheer me up...

See, I did it too!

Happy birthday

2007-11-27T14:22:00.001+08:00

Happy birthday to Emperor Xiaozong, Benigno Aquino,William Blake, Manolo Blahnik, Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix and Jung Pil Kyo(HAHA). To whoever has a birthday on the 27th of November. And Happy Birthday to myself. Finally 18 and it's just another regular day of life. Blah. Thanks for all the birthday wishes, even got one from china...

Do i get free shoes from Manolo Blahnik then?

Crazy week OVER

2007-11-22T16:04:00.000+08:00

It's only week 5 and it's been a crazy week, which kind of explains why i've no mood to blog... but multimedia is kind of ZZZ-inducing... so here i am... trying to edit spiderman clips to a song called We Are... nice song, but kind of boring and the the songs are playing all over the place cuz most of us forgot to bring earphones...
Went to Business China launch on Monday and thought that the speeches by MM Lee and Premier Wen Jia Bao were impressive... i wish i could speak half as coherently as them...
CCC class on Tuesday then went to do interviews for CL news and Radio projects... A HUGE hug kiss thanks to Tracy for helping me with the interviews, especially the dokbokki!! Haha... Took the whole day and ate all sorts of sinful food... doughnuts, candy floss, cupcakes...
Wednesday morning was the presentation with the poly's senior management and it was ok, except that presenting to an older audience was kind of different... a little nervous i guess... i don't know... Then Radio tutorial was quite fun when we had to record a phone call.. I asked akmal what it felt like to have curly hair... teehee... Up for SIP soon... I hope i get a comfortable placing somewhere...
AND TODAY... handed in proposal for multicam and had skills test... I never felt so stupid in my life though it was ok and pretty funny... i couldn't find the damn tilt switch... grrr... made all the minor and usual mistakes... but miss chee and mr pok were pretty nice... so i guess its ok...
Oh well.. that just about sums up my school life at the moment.. More projects to hand it but it will just get better...

Anyway, I bought super junior's second album and i feel very happy... i like asian guys better than angmohs... oh and they had a 2nd version MV of their first single Don't Don... i thought it was going to be radically different or have at least better angles and stuff, but guess what... all they had were an additional CGed red sun/planet Mars thing and two more shots of violinist Henry... which was placed towards the end of the clip so i'm like what a waste of time... not for the viewers but the people who had to edit the MV... Having done editing, i know how irritating it is... Super Junior fighting!!!

2007-11-15T00:28:00.001+08:00

It's been a week since i blogged but my mind has been a blank for the most part...

but i found some interesting sites which has some quirky stuff...

the worst words

This is so apt and applies to a lot of Singaporeans. Especially those with fake accents, those who try to have an accent and fail horribly and those who just can't say it right.

nationmaster interesting facts

Interesting facts about countries.
Did you know the average person in the United Kingdom drinks as much tea as 23 Italians?

50 interesting facts

This could be used for radio production... hmm...

My Last Breath... if i was a film critic..

2007-11-06T00:59:00.000+08:00

Went with Tracy, Kenneth and Samuel to watch this movie called the Last Breath at Plaza Singapura on the recommendation of Anthony...

Well, it is supposedly a horror movie... but the horror is not in the ghosts and supernatural whatnots (there is too little of that, sadly... the ghosts are the nice ones not the kind that tries to attack the person at every corner...) but the gore with ancient brain surgery and all that... Current FTC students, go watch the movie after heightening your 'movie sensitivity' in FTC and you will get what i mean... the storyline does not follow and it is predictable and slow in the wrong places that made kenneth and i laugh instead of being thrilled by the horror, if there was to begin with... You go into the theatre thinking that it is going to be some ju on-like show and it ends up more like a slasher film. Sure, there are the usual shocks where the ghosts suddenly appear, but the irritating thing is that the ghosts mumble under their breath or screech like nobody's bloody business... can't they just talk properly and tell us what the hell they want? The music and the sound effects were like...erm... unsuited and overly dramatic for a horror movie... it sounded as if the music was from some soap opera or comedy... another so hilarious it is irritating point in the movie...
Any compliments? Well, the storyline has potential for development if it weren't so cut and paste... the war concept is good and i like that they used Japanese and Korean, languages that i am currently into... but that's just about it..

in one line, the movie is 'is this really a horror film?'

review and storyline here

met mingkee at daiso. hehe what a coincidence...

School beat again

2007-11-02T22:35:00.000+08:00

It's time to swing into action as projects are starting to kick in. BUT. BUT. I seriously have no idea how i am going to do it. It seems easy enough, with all the deadlines and stuff in the student guide and all but there are no muses hanging around that inspire me to write. HOW???

the 8 of us in Chinese newswriting just STONED at the book talk at the library that we had to cover for assignment this afternoon. It was not the speaker's fault, she seems like a nice person... it's just what we do... space out... perry even fell asleep in the front row! It's amazing how we managed to take notes subconciously, well, for me anyway... Ailsa and i tried to talk to a few students who were standing around and we probably asked like 6 or 7 questions and you would think we would have gotten a nice quote like 'the library is very big and nice...' but NO, not even a word could be squeezed out of them... fredrick,yunru and perry were 'took charge' of 'class entertainment' today... but chinese newswriting is the least of my worries... i blog in chinese regularly enough... it's multicam... i have developed a strong dislike for buttons in the control room... radio is fine, not that complicated.. yet. whatever.

New blogskin

2007-10-31T00:52:00.000+08:00

I've been hit by lots of thoughts lately but am too lazy to write them yet. Some are on my cyworld if you can and are willing to read chinese.

Anyway, i got my blogskin problem sorted and the tagboard is back up. Just scroll to the bottom in the other space below.

School beat

2007-10-25T19:28:00.000+08:00

Multicam officially needs ALOT of practice at pressing buttons... my first try was a horror but if is anything like pressing the POS at Mac counter... i think i'll be fine with more practice...

Anyway, as much as i like Super Junior, i think this following clip encompasses Cross Cultural Comm and Radio Studio production...

I think Eeteuk has a nice radio-friendly voice, don't you think?

无奈

2007-10-25T07:54:00.000+08:00

I haven't been awake this early for more than a week.

Got Multicam make-up tutorial, it seems complicated. I'm going to make a fool out of myself. I can't help but feel irritated just looking at the subjects i'm taking.

Just shoot me.

Black hole ahead

2007-10-24T00:36:00.000+08:00

I have just just glanced through the student guides for the subjects i'm taking this semester and concluded that i'm so dead.

pretty good progress in self-learning korean. can write my name in hangul already. what about lessons, tracy? haha...

I think it's funny

2007-10-21T01:45:00.001+08:00

On a tube of facial wash i bought when i was in china:

"Particularly recommended for oily girls and boys."

...

On another note, i just realised that my 18th birthday is in about 1 month's time. But i've never felt 17, always strangely felt older. except stuff like buying liquor (locally, anyway... overseas i can buy whatever i want), watching/renting M18 shows etc... it's funny that i'm 18 only now. birthdays seem so insignificant now, and the irony is, it's not just any birthday that i feel this way, it's my 18th... what more for my 21st, i wonder?

Erm...

2007-10-20T11:35:00.000+08:00

I have alot of thoughts that i want to express... but i never remember them in a coherent manner... which only means one thing...

my brain cells are dying.
in love with Super Junior. *花痴*

A few things today...

2007-10-18T21:09:00.000+08:00

1. I still miss SJZ badly.
Mingkee and I don't chat on MSN anymore, we use QQ...

2. I got my school timetable - like finally...-
and got into Chinese Newswriting. (I hope it's good!)

3. Went for MFY training today...
and realised that i am fickle-minded.

4. Got my phone bill...
and realised that roaming calls to a SG number is more expensive than i expected! It's cheaper calling their local numbers... wth...

Tears

2007-10-17T23:17:00.000+08:00

I was watching the last episode of Super Junior's Full House* when the tears started to fall. I know how it must have felt for Eva and Anya to leave SuJu (particularly when they are such CUTE guys...) cuz i felt that same way just 2 weeks ago. It made me think about the times we had in SJZ... Like Ming Kee says, we are a 6 hour flight+3plus hour car ride+ S$1000plus away from the people we left there...

you wouldn't understand...

you weren't there...

the un-cheenapoks...

*Super Junior Full House is a 13 episode 'reality' series starring half of SuJu and 2 Caucasian girls who visit for a homestay and try teach SuJu english. They are absolutely hilarious. So the last episode is when Eva and Anya had to go back to their countries at the end of the homestay.

Was it even a holiday?

2007-10-16T19:50:00.001+08:00

It's the last week of the holidays... and there's still alot to get done...
I've got training for McD's mfy on 18th, 19th and 21st at White Sands (which i really don't want to go for...), the PiCC3 report by Monday, the RSI programme that i WILL finish 'post-production' tomorrow... and 2 presentations for PiCC (dates not confirmed... grrr...)
What's worse is that the timetable will only be available on thursday, which does not leave room for advance planning (especially part-time work) whatsoever...

Anyway, on a better note... I've been indulging in Super Junior's full house youtube videos... where they have two homestay guests and it is omg funny... i've been laughing my butt off... only that it is kind of hard to find videos with english or chinese subtitles since my korean is limited to annyeong haseyo and random vocabulary from somewhere... this is where you should step in, tracy... korean tuition! Haha... Oh and while i was in china, i managed to find time to recognise the Suju members and even DBSK! Here they are:

Super Junior
Han Kyung/Hee Chul/Lee Teuk/Ki Bum/Kang In/Kyu Hyun/Si Won/Sung Min/Eun Hyuk/Shin Dong/Dong Hae/Ryeo Wook/Ye Sung

Thinking about the fact that they are a 13-member group with individual working commitments, their company must have a huge headache when it comes to scheduling performances, what with Han Kyung's visa limits on performing, Ki Bum and Hee Chul's drama filming and the live radio show DJs in the group... It's sort of like school with students taking different subjects...

2007-10-15T02:35:00.000+08:00

The reason i didn't want to come back...

haven't got the boys' classes class photos yet so there's only the group photos...

2007-10-09T09:30:00.000+08:00

after a whole day of feeling floaty and disoriented yesterday, i finally feel grounded and back into the singapore swing. i've downloaded qq and accidentally made a new friend from shandong (apparently he's a primary school teacher in his late 20s, but who really knows for sure?) cuz i typed in the wrong number when adding people. need to do stuff for chinese stoPress and my report for PiCC... i NEED to get down to WORK... during the last 2 weeks of holidays. Wow. How exciting. Yeah right.

Some photos of Shanghai's night view (although i didn't have much time to explore, these were taken from the taxi...)

all famous buildings in Shanghai...

2007-10-08T02:03:00.000+08:00

I'm back in Singapore with an earache. How irritating. First, here's a rough list of my loot:

2 Korean Drama DVDs (Full House [which i was cheated of! only had on episode!] and Thank You)
1 Japanese Drama DVD (Hanazakarino Kimitachihe)
3 Korean Movies (200 Pound Beauty, the SuJu movie, My Boyfriend is Type B)
2 English Movies (Les Miserables [technically a stage musical], Dracula)
1 Jolin Karaoke VCD
1 Shinhwa Concert VCD (Which came with a DBSK VCD)
1 SuJu Book
2 English books
1 Chinese novel
1 pair of heels
1 pair of sneakers
Lots of hair accessories plus more mundane stuff and gifts for others...

I have a QQ account which is the China equivalent of MSN... and all the friends I made in China these past few weeks are on there... photos will come soon when i get all of them from ming kee and audrey and whoever else took nice photos...

I want to go back to ShiJiaZhuang,
I like the architecture and culture in Suzhou and Shanghai but i think they are overrated,
the people are nicer up north...

2007-09-25T09:35:00.000+08:00

Some things cannot exactly be said.

I've just finished reading a book called the Little Princess lately and i think that the heroine's attitude towards the trials in her life is inspiring. Living in China has opened up my world to many more wonders... as well as witnessing other people's living habits. Dinner with others made me see how important etiquette is, from the way you hold your chopsticks, to where you sit, the way you eat, the way you walk... Our hosts are kind enough to not to critique our ignorance, but past experience with etiquette has allowed me to see all these. Some people might think it is not significant at the moment, but it soon will matter no matter how naggy i may sound...

2007-09-20T07:59:00.000+08:00

finally! i can get into blogger!

It's been great here in ShiJiaZhuang.... the people have been great... the food alright... you can't exactly ask for the same stuff you get in Singapore, can you...

Daily highlights here...

Day One 12th Sept

Arrived in Beijing at 7plus am then got on the bus for a rough six hour ride to Shi Jia Zhuang in Hebei... Lunch at a eatery (can't really say if its a restaurant) but didn't eat much because i was still tired from the trip... Second last group to be dropped off at our school (IT and Management)... hostel was great, had TV and sofa and air conditioning... then went for welcome dinner at Hui Yuan with the rest and the education officials... still not much appetite yet though the food was great... The leftovers looked enough to feed a poor village.... felt quite bad...

Day Two

Woke up at 6plus and breakfast was at 7.30am... not too used to the food cuz they served veggies and rice for breakfast, and soup! the kind you get at the mixed rice stalls in Singapore... and in gigantic portions too... went to observe a few classes and then went to apply for a sim card... dinner was in gigantic portions again... Slept super early too... 8plus 9plus ok...

Day Three

Same early morning, went to observe a few more classes and met my year 2 classes too... Oh and the first years came back from their military training with the troops and performed blanket folding... cool.... the blankets were super straight and neat... Mrs Lim came to see our living conditions and stuff then we went out for dinner again at some restaurant called Shi Shen Lou or something... Food was great although still not accustomed to it yet... Had red wine, chinese white wine (tasted like vodka) and soy bean milk.... weird combination... now i truly understand why you need to eat before you drink alcohol...

Day Four

Girls day! Shopping at the town centre where there were loads of malls... Bought black patent heels and gold sneakers (bling ok... now i have one item of my bling get up...hehe... ) audrey and huiyu bought the gold sneakers too... bought an electronic dictionary too... finally another wish fulfilled... Bought stuff for people back home too... shopped for the whole day man... 9am to 8pm... Hahaha...

Day Five
Went hiking on Cang Yan Shan... The place where they filmed Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon... Route was perilous some parts cuz the soil was loose but the locals were super... they just went up without having to hold on to anything... got carved stones for some people back home too... Took the cable car down and the view would have been abfab if not for the haze... Overly excited i was... and was giggling all the way and screaming... hahaha... was with huiyu and she didn't bother about me and was taking photos...

Day Six
Woke up earlier and went to participate in the school's flag raising... It's been ages since i last participated in any flag raising... anyway... had my first few classes which was mostly boys... interesting reaction when i told them i was their age... haha... guess their mindset is different... found nothing much to do here actually and the internet connection here is really bad...

Day Seven
Same just that i met a new class of first year early childhood students...

Day Eight
Met another new class and went to buy books... forgot to buy Harry Potter 7... $28+here i calculated... but i bought the little princess, cha hua nv (forgot the english title), a chinese book (forgot the title too...), super junior book and corner with love book for my sister...

Today!
Nothing yet... Only one period of lesson today... then going somewhere to slack or something... maybe go for melinda's class... need to do the picc blog and powerpoint presentation for the school... they want more info about Singapore...

PS. Please email me if you need to get me... i can't read tags here... china banned blogspot or something...

2007-09-11T18:58:00.000+08:00

this is my last post before i leave for china... i'm really excited yet, a little nervous about stepping onto new soil... i'll miss everyone here, that's for sure... i seriously don't think i will get homesick but in case i do, i put photos of my family in my phone... with lots of music and videos and games to pass the time... and not forgetting my camera... i want to get books there cuz they are dirt cheap, and super junior/jolin stuff... and i brought my japanese and korean phrasebooks so that i can brush up on the plane flight... well, need to zip up and lock my luggage... see you guys in china!

ps. tag if you miss me... i'll sms you my china number...

2007-09-11T13:13:00.000+08:00

Han Kyung really mesmerises with his dance... watch this from 2.40 to 4.04...

2007-09-09T23:23:00.000+08:00

I am going on and on about it... but i really am excited about the trip to china... i heard the calling rates there are really cheap and local calls by some free IDD thing are at local rates... so you guys can call me if you miss me... tell me before i leave so i'll give you my china number when i get it... cuz i won't be online all that often due to no wireless connection and only during the day will i be in the computer lab... which i know most of you won't be awake yet...

and before it turns 12, happy birthday to kenneth... i remembered you birthday ok...

2007-09-07T23:09:00.000+08:00

Oh my goodness, i can't believe that i'm going to China next week... so exciting... seen the place where we are going and the place where i'm going to stay... i'm kind of nervous and excited about the trip... i'm not very likely to feel homesick though... but then again, you never know... hehe... I'M SO EXCITED!

by the way, Super Junior's Han Kyung is cute...*swoon* He's chinese... Didn't really notice him till lately... Super Junior has 13 members, way hard to notice when they are in a huge group and he's not always there... fallen in love with the way he speaks chinese... it's so cute... maybe i'll start speaking like that when i come back from china... hahaha... Has he has a model's aura...heehee...

2007-09-06T00:47:00.000+08:00

another adventure draws close... am going to china soon, provided i don't fail bmr (where i'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth)...

a few questions though...
for all of you whom i am friends with out there... do you really know who i am? do you really know what i think about you? do i really know you?
the thing is, we are to people only how much we let on. those who can see through the facade are true friends. but with me, it's difficult. change happens to me all the time... i may usually do a certain thing a particular way, but that doesn't mean that i won't do it in a different way... the decision to change usually happens within a split second...

anyway, here's a list of asian tv dramas to watch:
1. Ichi Rittoru No Namida (1litre of tears)
2. Itazura Na Kiss (It Started with A Kiss JP)
3. Hana Yori Dango 1&2 (Boys over Flowers/Meteor Garden)
4. Sweet 18
5. Since We Met
6. My Love Patzzi
8. E Zuo Ju Zhi Wen (It Started With a Kiss TW)
9. Tokyo Juliet
10. Love Contract

Here's the list of those i want to watch but have yet to/waiting:
Cloud Stairs
Smile Again
E Zuo Ju 2 Wen (It Started With a Kiss 2 TW)
Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (JP versh)
Bull Fighting ( the title sounds better in chinese...)

I think there are more... just can't remember...

2007-09-05T03:22:00.000+08:00

been watching Sweet 18... how apt... since i'm turning 18 in 2 months (like, finally)... it is a must watch... anyway i suddenly lost the inspiration to write as i was posting on my cyworld account, cuz the thing crashed... oh well... on a better note, jolin's music video for Special Agent J (separate from the music movie) and music movie's 2nd preview is out! enjoy!

2007-09-04T01:51:00.000+08:00

Fun, fun day... watched two movies in a day... Hairspray and Ratatouille...
Hairspray: there's quality in the music and casting, but not enough to hold an audience's attention. there were instances where i actually felt bored. High point: the female lead is called tracy, and link sings 'i wanna kiss you' to her... it's a high point for tracy tham, cue faint for effie, me, samuel and kenneth...
Ratatouille: Cute rodent+ klutzy guy+ skinny food critic x good script= funny! worth watching cuz it is really cute and is a good laugh...
reached home at almost 1am and its been a pretty long day... blog more soon... good night...

2007-09-02T17:11:00.000+08:00

i promise, this will be the last post for today... was supposed to go for a bbq but decided not to cuz audrey's not going... neither are the rest of my 'kakis'... sigh...
and due to boredom... i found this...

1. Someone knocks on your door at 2am,who do you want it to be?
someone who will give me lots of money OR a perfect guy who wants to marry me... or else i'll smack whoever it is for waking me up in the middle of the bloody night... if i am already sleeping at 2am means i'm damn tired, understand?

2. Your boss tells you he/she will give you a $20 raise if you'll do your job naked, do you stay and take the raise?
yeah, i will. but seriously, he'll be more likely to pay me to keep my clothes on. HAHA!

3. Put yourself in a nutshell.
what? i won't fit! HAHA. it's hard to describe myself briefly though... i like to think i'm complex...

4. Ever seen a ghost?
er... i'm not sure...

5. Happy with your body?
no, but i'm not particularly anal about it either...

6. something about you?
Schizophrenia runs in my family...*grins sinisterly*

7. A place you wanna visit?
Lots, man... but at the moment it's a tie between japan and taiwan...

8. A job you would Never do, no matter how much you were paid ?
prostitution. drugs. the like...

9. a band/group you thought was cool when you were 13?
5566. they've kind of run out of steam already... pity...

10.you have a nightmare, who's the first person you think to call?
no one. cuz i'll be laughing at myself for having such a dream... oh, and analysing it...

11.wanna have kids before you're 30?
yeah. love kids.

tolerance is a virtue.
