My New Hair Cut

2010-01-24T06:02:00.000-08:00

After so many months, I could not take the load of my thick hair. I went to Supercut at Century Square to get my hair done.

At first, I wanted to dye my hair as I hate the grey hairs I have. After consulting the hair stylist, Daris, he recommended I do soft bonding as my hair was very fizzy. I agreed as soft rebonding was my second choice.

There were many procedures. In total, it took 2h 30 mins to finish. I love the outcome as my hair was softer and better to maintain.

The first thing I wanted to do was to show off but don't know who to.

Well, in conclusion, I love my hair.

Reflections of 2009

2010-01-02T06:16:00.000-08:00

2 days into the new year. Although I didn't make any new year's resolutions, I am taking things one step at a time.

2009 was a wonderful year for me. I was very happy with my life, even though there was constant long working hours towards the end of the year. I was hoping something would happen but no surprises.

I must say there were sad moments in 2009 but I had friends who were there for me. Thanks.

I think the moments I remembered the most is meeting my friends every month. Even though we could not get the whole gang together for the past 12 months, we still meet up. Every month was different. Examples like dinner at swensens, picnic at east coast, bowling, etc... I am looking forward to this year monthly gathering. This gathering is something I was feel excited about as I can forget about all my troubles and feel free.

As for career, I am just satisfied. My colleagues are my motivation to stay on. Although there is office politics, I don't give a damn if it doesn't involve me. I have plans to leave by this year to study but I have yet to decide.

LOVE: I get all my love from my friends and family. Although my friends have started to look for their other half or have already found theirs, I am still taking my time. I don't know if I am doing the right thing in waiting for the guy. Being an introvert, I tend to keep things to myself, even if I like someone.

My song of the year: Broken-Hearted Girl (Beyonce)
My favourite band of the year: Daughtry

May 2010 bring more surprises and happiness.

Welcome 2010

2009-12-31T08:36:00.000-08:00

My friends and I welcomed the new yr in a special way. That's thru MSN. All because most of us could not make it on 31 dec 09 for the countdown.

At least we kept our promise to celebrate together. Hope countdown to 2011 will be even special.

Thanks for the 10yrs of friendship... Love Ya!

Merry Christmas 2009

2009-12-25T14:00:00.000-08:00

Although there wasn't a huge celebration at the office this year, my colleagues and I had a mini celebration among ourselves. We did christmas exchange just like last year.

Although we didn't have the previleged to have half day on christmas eve, we manage to finish work at 1845. This is after weeks of OTs.

Hence, I am here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Happy holidays!

My gifts: (thank you.)

What I received for my gift exchange.

From my other colleagues. Just small items.

Movies with Shan and Ross from 987FM

2009-08-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

It was a fun weekend. Supposely, my sister and I are to watch the movie UP on Saturday, 8 Auguest 2009. However, there was a mix up. Either GV management didn't read Shan/Ross's email correctly or Shan/Ross's send the date they wanted to book wrongly. Anyway, my sister and I didn't waste the trip, we went shopping and bonded more. (see para 3 for more)

We returned on 9 August 2009. We watched the movie with Shan only, and 2 other pairs. Ross couldn't make it as she had to other arrangements for the day, being the day is National Day. One pair didn't come. I must say Shan is more good looking in person and much taller too. He stand out in the crowd. He is about a head taller that most of the guys.

On the 8 August 2009, my sister and I shopped at Orchard Central. The place was huge and luxurious. We didn't dare to enter most shops as either there were no customers in the store or the stuff didn't interested us. After a while, we were tired and rested at Galare. We ordered Chocolate Overloaded. It is really chocolately. My sister loves it but I am ok with it as I am not really a chocolate fan.

The long National Day weekend was exciting and great. Happy 44th National Day, Singapore!

Working for 14.5 Hrs

2009-05-23T12:00:00.000-07:00

This is my 1st time working for 14.5 hrs. It is even worse than working 12hr shift.

The Reason:
I started work as usually on Friday, 22 May 2009, at 0900. However, I know there is a twist after that. The thing is that I had to work for two dept. From 0900 to 1845, I do my work as usual in OTT. With dinner provided by the other dept head - from 1845 to 1930. Then after dinner, I continued working for PRIME, printing cheques. I wasn't the only one being sending there to help, there were 3 other colleagues - 1 from the same dept as me, the other 2 from Investigation and Demand Drafts.

We had fun in there as we chat a lot while waiting for our cheque to finish printing. After printing all the cheques, it was 10 mins to 2300. Then we started to check each other cheques for consistency. The 4 of us that were borrowing left at 2330.

It was very tiring. Lucky it was Friday, so there isn't a need to worry about the next day. If it was Monday, it is going to be a tiring week. As by the time I reached home and took my bath, I was too worn out to do anything and went to bed immediately.

Overall, the experience is OK. Just too tired.

Working for PRIME and OTT

Remember Kinder Surprise?

2009-04-25T14:29:00.000-07:00

I wonder if any remembers Kinder Surprise. Well, I saw this 'egg' at Candy Empire in Vivocity yesterday. Although the price was expensive (i.e. S$4.80 for one 'egg'), I had to pay it as I miss the taste.

I was expecting the old but rich flavour. However, I was disappointed with it. Previously, the outer shell is brown while the inner shell is white. This one is totally brown. I don't really like the taste too.

Now, there is a similar product name Kinder Joy. I was expecting the same as Kinder Surprise but only better packaging. The new product is totally different - taste and appearance.

Anyway, this is only my comments on them. Feel free to try them. You might have different opinion than me.

Happy 22nd Birthday, Joyce

2009-04-25T12:00:00.000-07:00

Today is Joyce's birthday.

Miao and I thought of hanging out together and also celebrating her birthday but she already have plans.

I hope we can meet up soon. It have been a long time since I have seen them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOYCE!!!

May your dreams turn into reality soon.

2009-01-02T23:04:00.000-08:00

The first day of a new year is always special. The year 2008 for me have been excellent. All my friends turn 21 in 2008 which allows us to gather more often.

My friends and I went to Downtown East Pasir Ris for the countdown. Although there were many people everywhere, from the countdown area in D'marquee to the cheers store to the Pasir Ris park/beach. We went to the park to countdown. Although it is not accurate, we still welcome the new year. We went to Changi Airport to kill time as Rach was waiting for her bf. In the end, Rach didn't spend much time with us as herbf came early, so we just stay on at T3.

During this time, we start telling each other what are the first things we did for the new year. Below are the firsts' things we did for yr 2009:

Toilets -- Changi Airport Terminal 3
Meal -- Mcdonalds at T3

This year, it is going to be gloomy but I don't think it will affect our moods to meet up more often. I hope there regardless of how busy we are, we could meet at least once every few months.

Jacinda's and Xiu Yuan's 21st Birthday

2008-11-04T00:00:00.000-08:00

A few days after Esther's 21st, Jacin and Xy turns 21 on 4 and 3 Nov respectively. Jacin had chalet at Costa Sands (Pasir Ris).

1 Nov (From check-in to Midnight)

Jy checked in with Jacin. JX and ZZ were the first to arrive followed by Est and I. Rach came late as she have church service whille Xy, I don't know. When Est and I arrived, we almost went in the wrong chalet. Luckily they came out to welcome us. We didn't know it was the unit as there were many people around and hers was close.

Not many people were invited but it was still fun. Everyone have a bigger share of the cake. Jy went home first because of her bf. Jacin, Est and I stayed to prepare the surprise for XY. Supposely Jy to call us but she didn't, so we had to rush to prepare. In the end we still manage to surprise him. It was the first time we saw his face smile so widely. It seems to be his best present of all.

2 Nov (Midnight to 0500 hr)

We played Pictionary. More like taboo as we didn't draw but act out. The winner was team Est and Jacin, 2nd was Rach and Jy, 3rd was ZZ and JX and last was Xy and me. Xy and I didn't played much as we didn't get the chance. We were the ones to manage the cards and timing.

Around 0500, we were tired and had a short nap. Esther and I were the only ones to stay awake the whole day. While they were napping, we walked around the area as we were bored.

2 Nov (0500 onwards)

We had breakfast at Mcdonalds. After that we went to watch HSM3 at Cathay, E-Hub. Before the cinema opens at 1000, we took picture of us doing "jumping jack". It was fun as we made up many different moves. After the movie, everyone, except Jacin, Rach and I, went home for a bath.

We went back to the chalet for lunch and Jacin had to prepare for her day 2 chalet celebration. Rach and I thought of bowling but it was pouring. We played monopoly instead. The monopoly was modern as it uses cards instead of hard cash. Rach and I had fun buying house as we could choose which house we want. The overal winner was Rach. She knows how to do business. heheeee....

Soon, Jacin family and relatives arrived. The rest of them also arrive for the party. All, except Est and Jy, went home after 1900. Before that, we took many photos to remember the fun we had together.

Overall, I had lots of fun. Although I was tired by the end of day 2, I manage to stay awake. I hope there will be another gathering.

To end of,f this year is full of fun and laughter with my secondary school friends. There are many memories that I will keep with me forever.

To Jacinda: Happy 21st Birthday! Stay funny and lovely.

To Xiu Yuan: Happy 21st Birthday! Hope to see you have a company one day.

Esther's 21st Birthday

2008-10-30T23:59:00.000-07:00

Happy 21st Birthday my bestest friend. Although she celebrated 5 days before her actual birthday, she still have fun.

She celebrated at her house. It maybe squeezy but it is cosy. She invited CY who many of us didn't like especially JY. I thought something might happen, like Jy quarrelling with Ht or Cy and Jy settling her anger. The good thing was nothing happen.

Around 2130, many of her invited guests left. Only Jacin, Rach and I stay. Jy had to accompany her bf. ZZ came early and left ard 1900 as he is "on call". Jx didn't come as he is on guard. Luckily the 3 of us stayed longer as we can see Esther's and her sister's birthday presents. Hehe... Fun.....
Too bad Jy had to leave or we all could had taken a lot of picture like those below. Overall, we stayed until 5 mins before midnight as transportation is going to be a problem after that.

To Esther: Have a wonderful and memorable year. Stay happy and healthy.

Grand Celebration (In Brief)

2008-08-24T21:27:00.000-07:00

This year, I decided to open chalet so that I can enjoy my birthday with my friends. It was a 3-day event starting from 22nd August to 24th August. Although I didn't have enough sleep for the past few days as there were many things to be taken care of.

Just to be inform, I am only half awake. I will always remember these 3 days that I had so much fun with my friends. I thank everyone for coming to my party as without you, the party won't be a success.

To JY, Esther, Jacin, XY, ZZ, Hariz and Rach, I really had lots of fun with you all. I hope we can meet again and have fun. It had been a long time since we had so much fun and laughter. Also, to those that stay overnight, get enough sleep soon.

Overall, I love my birthday party., Although there were many things to be prepared, I do not feel the pain. I will end this entry with some great memories. Detail of the chalet will be told in a later date, as I need to energize.

Shift to new table

2008-07-12T23:40:00.000-07:00

Starting from 7 July 08 onwards, I will be using this desk for training. I have to keep the table clean and organised all the time. Occasionally, the consultant would check our desk and give comments. My colleagues and I, now, keep most of our stuff in the drawer, like food and paper.

I hope this desk is only for my training at Comtech as I do not want to travel so far and pay so much for transport. I want to move back to Chai Chee soon. Please..........

Last Day of Lazyness

2008-06-30T17:30:00.000-07:00

I have told some of my friends about my new perm job. Today is the last day that I am going to be at home all day. I have been jobless for the past month - whole month of June to be exact. It is not that I am not active in looking for a job. It is just that the company want me to start tomorrow - 1 July 2008.

I am nervous about tomorrow as I have been lazying around at home for so long. Sleeping and waking up late have been a routine of mine. I might not be able to adjust to the new timing but I will soon.

Oh ya... I have not say what am I working as. The company I am working for is DBS Bank Ltd, under Cash Payment Operation. I am still unsure about the job scope as I have yet to start the 1st day of work.

I wish tomorrow I can be on full alert so that I can understand the procedure. Also, I hope to prove myself within the 3 months probation so that I can continue working there. All the best to me.

If I have the time, i will write about my first day experience tomorrow.

From Energetic to Queasy

2008-06-26T23:54:00.000-07:00

One heavy day today. I started the day by going to Wing Tai to get my cheque. After that I went to meet Esther at Tampines MRT station.

Everything was fine. From taking the bus from Hougang to Tampines Interchange to depositing the cheque to meeting Esther. By the way, I even have time to go to Mango and try some tops.

After meeting Esther, we went to Expo to shop for Mei Yan's present. We stopped at a book sale and Esther bought a book. At John Little Expo Sale, we bought some snacks. We thought of buying perfume for her but it was out of our budget. At that time, I was feeling a little tired so I thought it was too much walking.

At around half past 6, we meet jacin at Simei MRT. We went window shopping at Tampines Mall before meeting Jie Ying. Around this time, I was feeling even tired. Hence, I thought I was hungry from all the walking and talking.

After dinner at Mcdonalds, we shopped around Tampines Mall. This is when my whole body was so aching that I have to drag my feet most of the time. My friends contiuned their window shopping and I went home. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I have rested during dinner, how can I still be so tired.

When I reached home, I went for the bed first. It was the best feeling of all -- relax. After that, I didn't feel like moving around anymore. I ate some leftovers from dinner that my mom cooked. I still feel so tired. After a good bath, I didn't leave the bed then. I took fever medicine and was feeling much better.

I will stopped here now as I need to have a good night sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Primary Best Friend

2008-06-23T12:05:00.000-07:00

I have not taken pictures with my primary school friend for a long time -- probably around 3 years. I suggested to take neo print with her as both of us have grown and I want to record our growing years together.

Wendy and I meet when we were in Pri.5. We have been best friends since then. I think we have been best friends for almost a decade. Wow.... I didn't expect that.

I love her accompany and we could talk anything under the sun. Although now we have gone different routes -- she is going to SIM while I am working. I think we will not be affected by that as we can adjust our timing to spend time with each other.

Thanks a lots Wendy for being there all the time. I wish you all the best in your studies and life.

New Perm Job

2008-06-17T16:10:00.000-07:00

It has been a good 3 weeks break since my last job. Actually, I give myself a week break first before starting to look for a job again. This is because I didn't take much break after the last day of poly break. However, I don't regret it.

I tried to look for direct job interview but one only manage to call back. I went for the interview but almost fell asleep during the interview. The job scope was ok but I am not sure why I was so sleepy. Moreover, there is no overtime pay for that job. That even make me want to reject the offer. Luckily, they told me they will get back to be by the end of the month. This sentence also means, "Thanks for trying but we do not need you. Goodbye."

After that, I went theough agency. There were 2 two agency that I register with. Firstly, it is Recruit Express. I don't like to register under this agency as I need to pay $50 if I accept a perm job. Hence I was praying that they couldn't find any jobs that suit me. In the end, they only came back with one offer. They send my resume to the client but have yet to attend the interview. I must say that they are very slow in finding jobs. I have not heard from them for almost a week.

Another agency I registered with sis Success Human Resource. I don't need to pay any commission to them if I accept any job offer. They help me send my resume to about 5 clients. They are quick to response back. Whenever they find an job that is suitable they will call back to ask whether I want to send my resume. So effective.

Interview #2 (found by Success)
This interview is with DBS Bank at Chai Chee. I didn't know there is an office there until now. By the way, there is only one department there and it is huge. One of the interviewer made me feel comfortable by chatting with me while waiting for another interviewer. The interviewer made me feel less nervous when the actual interview was in progress. I was disappointed that they didn't accept me immediately. However, I look forward to other job interview.

The shocking news was I had to attend a 2nd interview. This brings my hope high. I went to the interview with heads held high, thinking I might have a chance since they are giving me a 2nd chance. However, the 2nd interview wasn't for the job I applied but another. The previous interviewers were impressed by my performance that they do not want to lose me. Since I am not suitable for the job, they gave me another job. The 2nd interview was shorter than the 1st. The important thing they have to confirm was whether I am willing to work at Alexander. I was hesitated at first as it was far. But they told me that it could be a temporary arrangement and I might be posted back to Chai Chee in 2 months (if possible). Hence I accepted the offer. I called the agency to tell them about the offer. The agency called me back after a few hours to tell me the salary. I was shocked when I heard the salary. It is $1800++. I expected $1500 but it is more. I am so happy to get more salary but I hope there is overtime pay too. Also I have no seen the contact so I don't know what else to expect -- good news and bad news.

I have not start work yet. Most probably next week and I have yet to sign the contract.

Thank you for such a great opportunity. I hope the job will not be so tough.

Graduation Day

2008-05-21T21:00:00.000-07:00

I have graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Business Process & Systems Engineering.

I was at TP TCC for the whole afternoon. The weather was scorching. I think I was dehydrated most of the time.

The whole ceremony was about an hour and a half long -- from 1400 to around 1530. This is because there are 3 other courses graduating at the same time, namely Biomedical Informatics & Engineering, Info-Communication and Adv. Diploma in Quality Engineering.

(above) Formal

(above) Informal

After the ceremony is over, most of the graduand took pictures with their friends and classmates. My class, K508, took a class photo together. This was done professionally by the photographers in Photography Club (I think only). After that, we took some pictures among ourselves. By the way, we remove the coat/gown after the class photo as we were sweating like hell. I didn't return the same time as I wanted to take picture with Jie Ying. Besides that, I am also taking a professional photo taken with my parents.

(above) Xue Ling, Miaoyan, Joyce, Mei Ling

I want to comment about the professional photo taking session. My parents and I waited for more than an hour for our turn. Then, we also have to wait for another hour for the person to burn the photos into the CD. We didn't wait for the CD as we were tired and hungry. My sister will take it tomorrow as she is schooling at TP.

(above) Jie Ying and Mei Ling

My picture taking with Jie Ying was a bit rushing as she need to attend her graduation ceremony. I didn't blame her as we can have many other opportunities to meet up. I must compliment her. She bought the largest family members to witness the ceremony. I say that I envy her. She really made her family proud by graduating with a diploma.

There were a few surprises. I saw Zuozhi. I didn't expect to see him. He was there to witness his brother, Zuoren, getting his diploma. The weird thing is that his brother is not witnessing his but Jie Ying and He Ting are. The next surprise was Jacinda. I didn't expect to see her there too. She told me that she was a replacement 'relative'. Too bad we didn't chat much but not much worry. There are many ways to keep in contact.

After a long 'speech' about my graduation today, I must tap myself on the shoulders and say that I can leave the school with a big smile on my face. Now, the future is what I have to look forward to. I need to beware of the challenges, betrayers, etc. Stay on full alert most of the time so as not to get bullied easily. From sec sch to poly might be a turning point to ourselves, as said by many lecturers. I must say that from poly to work life is the biggest turning point of my life. This is when I learn to save and aim higher in life.

I hope I will make the right decision. Lastly, thank Allah for all the help.

****** Graduation *******

After 3 years

2008-05-10T23:15:00.000-07:00

I had not seen my pri sch friend since I started poly 3 years ago. By the way, I only kept in contact with one pri sch friend. I had 3 best friends in pri sch. I tried to keep in contact with them during my sec sch days but only one did. I snail mail them, wondering how are they, but only one returned my mail. Well, at least I knew who is a true friend to me.

I met her aft my work. When we saw each other, we had lots to talk about. We talked and walked from Orchard MRT station to Shaw house. She suggested to watch a movie as we didn't know what else to do. At first we wanted to watch "What Happens in Vegas", but we were one step slow. We couldn't watch the 1920 show as we reach Shaw House at 1910. In the end we watched the 2045 Speed Racer.

I have not watched a movie for more than a year. This is the first movie I watched this year. The Speed Racer movie was average. There was too much graphics or CGI. At certain scenes, I can really see that it was fake. The only thing worth watching was the lead actor. He is damn handsome. I think they should not cast Christina Ricci with him as she looks like a doll when she is with him. YUCKS!

By the time the show is over, it was 2250. We headed home and continue our conversation. Luckily, we watched a movie at that time. If we were to watch any time later, I might not be able to go home. There will be no buses available then.

Overall, I enjooyed myself very much. I hope to meet her again and have fun. Thank you for being such a great friend all these years.

LATE FOR 3 DAYS

2008-04-22T17:55:00.000-07:00

Friday, 18 April 2008
I have a terrible stomach ache that I was late for work. I told myself that I rather be late for work than suffer my way to work. In the end I was 20 mins late. I didn’t blame myself or anyone but I remind myself that until the next month starts, I must not be late again.

Monday, 21 April 2008
I was late again. This time even worse than Friday – 24 mins. Who can I blame this time? Myself, for not taking the right bus and alighting at the right bus stop. Also blaming the bus driver for not being on time. Let me explain further. I have a few routes to choose to go to work. There is one common bus stop which I would alight if I board certain bus. However, the risk is I might have to squeeze in as not many people alight there. Least do I knew that on that day (Monday), 2 buses came with crowded passengers and there is no way I can board. By the time I decide to change to another route, it was too late.

I blame the driver as they sometimes do not open the entrance door. Moreover, sometimes they left the interchange earlier that many passengers would miss the bus.

Tuesday, 22 April 2008
After learning my lesson, I left home 5 mins earlier than usual. Besides there is a traffic jam near my place and it is raining. Everything went smoothly – from home to the transfer bus stop. I was there earlier than usual (I mean the bus stop where I transfer to another bus) However I waited half an hour for the bus. Many passengers who were boarding the same bus as me looks frustrated. I mean the bus which we always took to work always take us on time. I was late for 18 mins.

By just being late for 3 days, I have deducted $6.50 from my salary. The contract didn’t state it but my colleagues told me about it. I feel so disappointed that I lost $6.50 in just 3 days, how wasted.

I told my best friend about it and she suggested me to leave ½ hr earlier than today. I took her no way as I do not want to lose my sleep. I need at least 8 hrs to stay awake for the whole day. However, I might leave home 10 mins earlier. The most important thing is decision. I need to make the right decision, regardless whether it is cheapest fare or not.

I got to go home now. I wrote this in between my work. Bye.

Shifting to a new area

2008-04-11T19:45:00.000-07:00

For the past two days, my department (finance) has been shifting all our documents from level 9 to level 8. By the way, there is still many more to shift. The finance dept is divided into 3 diff sections. I say that my section is the slowest. But can't blame us for being slow as there are many things to shift.

(bottom of the pic [computer that isn't on]) My work area current location at lvl 9

(far end of the pic) New location at lvl 8

(boxes) Those are called pigeon holes. This are the amount of work I need to do. There are sales figures, which everyday there will be new doc, I have to update into the computer system.

This is my work area now. There is 2 other colleagues sitting behind me. With effect from next week, I will be sitting in front at level 8. I don't really like that as those colleagues behind me will know what I am doing. I also have one thing to complain about my current desk. I hate my computer. It is the older model -- the big and fat computer. Moreover, my mouse is so a**. It is also the old version. Then I always have problems scrolling down and up. I suggested to one of my colleagues about changing the computer. She said she can help ask the IT dept. I hope there will be good news.

I am not very excited about the change as there is certain documents I need to get from level 9 Hence, traveling from level 8 to 9 will be a nuisance soon.

Well I need to have my dinner now. I will come again soon. See Ya!

-.-.-.-.-.-.- Shifting places -.-.-.-.-.-.-

Staple 'bullet'

2008-04-05T11:57:00.000-07:00

I am not here to report on a new invention. It is about my work. If you have read my previous blog, I am working temporary at Wing Tai Clothing Pte Ltd.

Everyday, I need to sort documents and update the sales figure. Although I am kinda tired of the job, I am still gaining experience. My job scope is very small. Hence, I need to keep asking my supervisor for more work.

Well, now about the staple 'bullet. This is the amount I used a week. P.s. this is amount vary each week. Let me explain. This week I need to close the accounts hence I don't much stapling to do, more on filing the documents and checking the figures. Days that I do the updating of sales figures, I will have a lot to staple. Probably the amount would be twice as much.

By the way, the box is made and decorated by me. This is because I find it troublesome to keep turning back to the bin to throw small items. I want to take more pictures of me doing my work but I am embarrassed. Moreover, my work area is open. Everyone can see what I am doing, even if I am surfing the net not doing my work.

Overall, the working surrounding is great. I get along well with my colleagues.

That is all I have to say about my work. Tune in next week for more news and gossips. LOL.....

My new bag

2008-03-17T21:55:00.000-07:00

My first Guess bag. Actually this is the only bag that I like. Before the price is S$179.90, now I bought it only for $89.90. I think this model have been in the industry for quite some time.

Valentine Day

2008-02-14T12:56:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine to all!

I have no plans today because I don't have any dates with a guy or gal. Moreover, I hate going out today because there will be lots of couples together on the streets. This makes me feel jealous but envy.

Probably I feel like that is because I don't have a boyfriend now. I am not desperate for one. I am still waiting for the right one to appear.

Well, I don't want to talk much about it. Let all couples have their time now.

-o- -o- -o- -o- Valentine Kiss ~o~ ~o~ ~o~ ~o~

Last Day of poly (for life)

2008-02-13T23:00:00.000-08:00

Today is my last day of poly life. I have met many wonderful people and learnt many things from my lecturers and friends.

I went to school at 1600 because I need to print supporting documents for my university application. Also, I need to print my resume, cover letter and poster/flyers. When all was done, it was 1630, my friends sat at the concourse area to practice for our CCOM interview at 1700. All of us were very nervous. We heard from our friends and classmates that some of the interviewer is strict while some was not. Then we proceed to the waiting area at 1655. My heart were pumping so hard and my hands started to shiver. There were a few of our classmates outside. We took the opportunity to ask them how was their interview as they went in before us. One of them took us that the interview was very strict as when she compare with her friends she didn't do well. (BTW she got 15/20). Then all of us started to panic. This is because she was a better speaker than all of us. If she gets only 15, then we will not get that high easily.

Soon after chatting and practicing, it is my turn - first person in the 1700 slot. I was so nervous that my mind went blank for a moment. The interview greet me and I returned it.

She started by asking me about the company/agent. I was stunned. I didn't researched on the agent at all as I thought company was more important. Hence, I just answered how a job agent should operate. Then she asked the number of company, I just anyhow answered it by saying that there are a few internationally. Soon she start asking about headhunter and I was like "huh". It was like a totally unrelated to the job advertisement. Luckily, I managed to turn her attention to the job I wanted -- payroll officer. After that she asked me everything that is related to the job such as what is the job about, why did you choose this job, how can you manage stress in the fast paced environment, give evidence on you achievements, etc. All these I could answer smoothly even though there was some pauses at some moments. The last question she asked was is there anything you would like to say about the job. By that time, my brain was about to explore. I wanted to tell her that everyone in the company must be able to work together. However, the words didn't come out the way I want to and she misinterpret it. I just said yes to her misunderstanding as I wanted to leave the room. She just give some advice about the job. Before I left the room she commented that I have a good interpersonal skills and she liked the way I answered her questions - with confident. Overall, she said, "you are suitable for the job."

I was so happy. Outside, I called the next person which is Joyce. After that my friends started asking me questions. I told them what I remembered. Then they asked me about their results. I didn't checked after I left the room. When I checked it, I was double happy. I got 16/20, more than the classmate we chatted just now. I didn't expect to get so much as my aim was 13 or 14. But anyway, I learnt a lot from CCOM.

I have to stop here as I need to sleep. Tomorrow, I still need to decide on what course I wanna take in University.

P.s. I am applying for SMU, NUS and NTU.

Chinese New Year - Day 1

2008-02-08T12:00:00.000-08:00

On the way to grandfather house

Chinese new year is usually quite boring for my family. Every year, we will visit my grandfather. After that we might go to Hong Bao River. If not, we will just drive around Singapore.

Taking Pictures in the car.

This year, we only visit our grandfather. 2 of my relatives went overseas. Hence only my family and another relative were at my grandfather's place in the early afternoon. About 1445, my relative left to visit their friends and relatives. We stay for a while before we went to the nearby coffee shop for lunch. After that, we could not decide where to go. Many shops are close on the new year. We had a few in mind but could not make the decision. In the end, we decided to go to Sentosa to see the flowers.

Resting at grandfather house.

When we reach Keppel Road, there was a long queue of vehicle. We knew that it will take very long just to enter Sentosa. Therefore, we went to Vivocity to take the Monorail. We did not expect to see so many people at Vivocity. The worst was the queue for the monorail to Sentosa. I was so lazy to queue just to enter Sentosa. Hence, we just hang around Vivocity.

On the way to Sentosa, we see the Singapore Flyer.

There are some shops that were open such as Forever 21 and I.P. Zone. My family went to Earle's Swensens for desserts. My mother and I shared White Chocolate Blondie (sizzling pan), my sister ordered Chocolate Crunch, my brother ordered Cookie Summit and my dad ordered Ice Cappuccino. We found out from the information desk before we starting shopping that there is a membership card. If a customer spends S$50 and above, he/she will get rebate from their car park fee. Hence, my dad told us to buy one more item from any shop in Vivocity so that the total will be >S$50.

(From Left) Vivocity view. 3 siblings together.

So we went to I.P. Zone to check out. In the end, my sister bought a black T-shirt for S$6 and my bro bought a shirt at S$34. My dad sign up for the membership card, thinking that the car park ticket will be free. However, he didn't know that S$50 of goods is worth of S$1 of parking fee. The parking fee exceed the amount he accumulated so he has to pay an extra of S$0.30. He got quite angry for a while as he thought it was free and the customer service staff didn't tell him properly.

From Left: Receipts of Earle's Swensens and Membership card for Vivocity

We left Vivocity for Changi Airport Terminal 3. This is because there is nothing much to shop at Vivocity and we have lots of time to spare. We toured T3 for a while before having dinner at Kopitiam. The food was expensive. One plate of Ayam Penket cost S$5 and a puri set cost S$3. My bro showed tantrum because he wanted to eat at Secret Recipe while the rest want to eat something simple. In the end, we had to drive to Simpang Bedok just to buy Bee Hoon Goreng Pattaya for him. The place was so packed. There were many tables which haven't received their food. We have to wait for 1/2 hour just for one dish. It was very tiring.

At Changi Airport Terminal 3.

By the time we reach home, it was almost 2200. The whole was kinda average. I was also wondering why are there so many people outside. I thought they would be at home entertaining guests.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying their Chinese New Year. I wish everyone good health and wealth. May all their dreams come true!

+++++++++++++ Day 1 of CNY ++++++++++++++

New stuff on Chinese New Year.

2008-02-07T11:59:00.000-08:00

Firstly, Wishing everyone Xin Nian Kuai Le.

I bought new clothes from BEGA @ Century Square. I bought a new skirt and 2 blouses (See receipt picture). I had to exchange on of the blouses because they gave me the wrong size. When I went back to exchange, there is no more smaller size, so I had to find another blouses. In the end I exchange the white blouse seen in the picture. The skirt was bought at OG Orchard a few months ago. I think it cost about S$ 40++. The red heels was bought at John Little Expo Sale @ Singapore Expo. It cost S$9.90. I am carrying handbag on my right hand (seen in the picture). I wore this bag during Hari Raya too. This is my 2nd time using the bag. It is too expensive to wear for shopping, so I only use it on special occasions.

Below is a picture of my new bed sheets. It is purple in colour. I am blogging about my new bed sheets because I want to make my sister jealous. LOL..... This is her favourite colour and I am using it first. Haha....

That is all I have to say about new stuff for the new year. Have a wonderful day.

((.. New .. New .. New .. New .. New.. ))

Reunion Dinner 2008

2008-02-06T22:59:00.000-08:00

Chinese Tea

Plate, fock and spoons given.

2nd dish: fish. Lots of green chili padi but not very spicy.

Next: Honey chicken. The outer layer was very crispy and juicy.

Butter Oats Prawns. Everyone loves the oats. The plate was nearly empty when we finished. Also, the shell of the prawns was soft, when it was hot, and easy to chew.

Fish Maw Soup. Each of us is given one. It was not taken yourselves in the bowl.

Additional dish: Sambal Kang Kong. This is because my family loves kang kong.

Yam Basket. This is my first time trying this. I say that it is ok.

Pineapple Rice (Below - in yellow). I couldn't manage to take the picture of it as everyone has taken their share when the dish reach to me.

Broccoli with Scallop. The scallop is at the bottom of the picture. Nothing special about this dish.

There were 3 different types of desserts. This one is the red ruby. Not very nice as the ruby is frozen. The other 2 dishes were longan and alomond jelly.

Yesterday, only my family, Clarice's family and my grandfather have reunion dinner together. My aunt and another uncle went overseas because of the long weekend. We went to Segar Restaurant for dinner. It is located at opposite Bedok Interchange, near Macdonald.

A booking was needed and there were 3 slots to choose from -- 1730, 1900 or 2030. My dad found out that the 2030 slot was fully booked so he booked the next available slot, i.e. 1900. We have to reach the place before 1700 and leave before 2030 because of the 2030 slot.

The first dish was yu sheng, a common dish during the Chinese New Year. (Sorry no pic). The interval between each dishes was kinda messy. The 2nd dish was fish. I was shocked at first as usually we get the vegetables and rice first. The next dish was honey chicken. I just take the first 2 dishes and put it on the plate. I just eat a little of the 2, but keep most of them, so that I can eat it with the rice. However, the next dish was the prawns. I took 3 prawns and lots of oats. When the pineapple rice arrived, I just took some as there was lots of food on my plate. After that the rest of the dish arrived -- broccoli, kang kong, fish maw soup and yam. I was so full at the end of all the main course.

During the dining, my father and uncle were quite piss with the poor customer service. There is one when we need to other drinks. Also, there was a moment when the pineapple rice was so late. They keep calling the manager or staff to voice their opinion. If I was them, I will not say anything and just wait for my food. This is because it is Chinese New Year Eve and they are working overtime. They have to hurry most of the time to serve all the customers well. Also they need to work at a tough situation whereby all the customers need to have their dinner finish and clear the tables before 2030. I pity the workers but praise for their great effort.

Our reunion dinner ended at 2030. There was lots of people waiting outside. We exchange goodies and went home. There is no where else to go as every store is close for reunion dinner except for some non-Chinese stalls.

Overall, the dinner was average. I hope next year reunion dinner will be different and also for my other 2 relatives to join us.

Wishing all a HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! Gong Xi Fa Cai (恭喜發財).

Happy New Year 2008

2008-01-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

I went to Orchard Road to celebrate New Year and also to take pictures. Unlike last year where we join the crowd and got dirty, we went to a quiet place, i.e. Tanglin Mall to celebrate among ourselves. Last year celebration was chaos as many females got molested (I was not one of them)

This year we decided to stay away from the crowded areas of Orchard Road. Even though there are police on patrol, I prefer to play safe.

Firstly, my family (except my dad as he is working) went to LJS at Bedok for late lunch, which is about 1700. Before that, I was suffering because I was sick (in detail I was having diarrhoea). At first, I don't feel like going. But after taking medicine and Vitagen, I felt better. Hehe...

Later, we (mom, siblings, cousin and aunt) went to Far East Plaza to shop. This was my sister idea as she wanted to buy clothings. In the end, she didn't buy any and I bought a new pair of jeans (black in colour) @ S$59.90. Soon most shop started to close (at about 2130) and we went to Ramen Ten for dinner. Having a late lunch, my sister and I were not hungry. We shared our food while the rest ordered their own.

Then we walked to Tanglin Mall. I tell you it was very far, about half hour walk. Along the way, we took some pictures. When we reach Tanglin Mall, we continue to take more pictures. After that, we went to Mcdonald to rest and reenergise.

Knowing that the MRT and Orchard area will be packed, we decided to take bus no: 7 home. It was an hour trip to Bedok Interchange. We boarded the bus at around 2345 and reach Bedok at about 0040. We knew there were no bus available and thought of walking home. Luckily my dad called to ask us where are we. We explained our situation and he came to fetch us home. However, my aunt and cousin took the taxi home which cost them about S$9 (including midnight charge.)

Overall, I enjoyed myself. For countdown to 2009, I hope to celebrate with my friends if possible. Anyway, Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T19:05:00.000-08:00

Firstly let me wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It is the season of giving.

Although I don't celebrate christmas, I still play my part.

The above pictures are log cakes that I bought from NTUC Xtra at AMK Hub. It cost S$9.90. The flavour is Chocolate Fudge. Although I am not a chocolate lover, the taste is yummy.

Let me end this entry with a Christmas Carol.

Title: The Chipmunk Song
Dave:all right you Chipmunks! Ready to sing your song?

-I'll say we are!

-Yeah!

-Let's sing it now!

Dave: Okay, Simon?

We can hardly stand the wait

We can hardly stand the wait

Please Christmas, don't be late.

Dave: Very good, boys

-Lets sing it again! Yeah, lets sing it again!

Dave: No, That's enough, lets not overdo it

-What do you mean overdo it?

Dave: Now wait a minute, boys

Simon will you cut that out? Boys...

1st Asian Idol from Singapore

2007-12-17T18:45:00.000-08:00

In the early hours today, Hady Mirza was crowned the first Asian Idol. I congratulate him!

When I heard his name during the results show, my heart just dropped. I never expect him to win. His competitors are strong and I thought he never have the chance. However, I just wish him luck.

I hereby wish Hady all the best to his music career.

Congratulations to HADY MIRZA in making Singapore proud!

()()()()()()()()()( LOVE HADY MIRZA ALL THE WAY )()()()()()()()()()

Last Day

2007-11-30T12:30:00.000-08:00

Today is the last day of November. Also , the last day that I will be very busy. For the past 2 weeks, I have been busy preparing for presentation or quiz. This is the list that was making me busy:

Quiz 1 for Supply Chain Management (SUPCHN)
My CRM peer teaching
MP report for RW2, supervisor and MP judges
CRM Quiz 1 for CRM
Case study for SUPCHN (includes report and presentation)
MP judging [which is later today]

I was so busy that most of the time I sleep late. The good thing was my timetable was relaxing as there are 2 days that I don't need to go to school. Therefore, I used this 2 days of break to catch up on my lost of sleep. So my mind will be fresh the next day and could think properly.

However, my busy days might not be over. This is only the first part. Next yr, there are lots of presentation and reports to submit. I will not panic so much, unlike now. There is 2 weeks holidays for me to enjoy and prepare for my projects. Though I hope that I will not stress myself so much. I must learn to have good time management.

Later at 1700, I am having my MP judging. That will be the last stage of MP. Haha.... No more green energy and waiting for the guys. Am I nervous for the MP judging? I think so. I don't really know. Although I have presented two times, this is the most important one. I want to do well. Anyway, I always tell myself to do my best. The results lied with MP judges.

Ok, I am going to prepare my presentation. Wish me Luck!

+++++++++++++ Busy Over +++++++++++++++

My Biggest Spending

2007-10-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I went out by myself. It is not unusual as I have gone out by myself before. This is the first time I have spend so much using my own money. This is my spending list:

3 "Switched" Key chains -------------------- $26
Food From school canteen @ short circuit -- $1.20
Photo Album for Esther -------------------- $8.45
Computer Printer Cartridge ---------------- $59
Four Leaves Bread ------------------------- $2.60
Delifrance Bread --------------------------- $2.65
Top-up EZ-link Card ----------------------- $20

Total -- $119.90
Amount Left in wallet -- $3.05 (coins only)

1. I bought it online. "Switched" is a Channel 8 Drama Series starring Jeannette Aw and Fann Wong. I saw the key chain on sale at http://yourpalace.blogspot.com. Hence I bought 3 pairs. One for myself while the other 2 I don't know who to give. Hehe..... I meet the seller at Pasir Ris Interchange. The total cost was $26 after discount. (Each cost $8.90.) I am not sure why I bought them but I like the design of key chain.

2. I bought food from the Short Circuit as I was hungry. Moreover, I was waiting for JY to finish her lecture. I had to pass to her the paper I tried to do for her.

3. Esther's birthday is drawing here and I have not bought any present. I went to White Sands after meeting the Online person. I went to most of the stores to search for a presents. I saw a few that match my budget but it was not in good quality. I saw the photo album at Popular bookstore. I bought it as I thought she could store all the happy moments she have with her friends and family.

4. Knowing that my printer ink has run out of black colour, I bought it immediately. I have many projects on hand and in case of emergency I don't need to worry about not printing my work. Hehee...

5. & 6. I bought bread to fill my empty stomach. The delifrance bread are for my mom and bro.

7. After all the spending, I noticed I have $20 left in my wallet. Since I seldom go to the interchange, I decided to top-up my EZ-link card. Like that, I save trip to go back and forth. hehe....

When I reach home, I counted my expenses. I wallet was heavy. Not with big notes but coins. All of them add up to $3.05. Hai.... This is my first time seeing my wallet so empty. Within a day, I have spend a hundred over dollars, a record for me.

Anyway, I have to stop here for now as I am going visit for Hari Raya. Bye Bye

$$$$$$$$$$$$Spending money $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Day 1 of School

2007-10-23T22:02:00.001-07:00

School reopen on Tuesday, 23 October 2007, for me. That is because on Monday I don't have any lesson. Hehe...

This is my last semester in Poly. I am excited to graduate, leaving behind all my sorrows and misery. This semester, my timetable is so relax. I thought of taking another CDS to learn more things but in the end I din't take. This is because there is no CDS that interest me. Before knowing what CDS is available, I thought of taking Italian as my CDS as it is great to know another language. So far, I can understand English, Mandarin, Malay & French, which I learn as a CDS in Yr 2.1.

Now let me say about the subjects that I am learning this semester. The first lesson I attend was CRM (Customer Relationship Management). The lecturer started the lesson with us introducing ourselves and saying what we have learn so far and what is our plan after graduation. The last question I have no idea. I am still confused on where to go. However, I won't think about it now. I need to concentrate on doing well this semester.

My GPA is not very satisfying to me. I noticed that I tend to score well in Engineering-related subjects. Those business-related subjects are just an average grade. Hence, I thought this semester my results will be average as it is all business-related subjects. Hai....... I have to work exact hard this semester to lose this "curse" of average.

That is all I want to say about Day 1 of school. I will return when I have something interesting to report. Hehe.....

.............LAST SEM OF POLY..............

New semester starting soon

2007-10-18T13:10:00.000-07:00

Today I just received my timetable. I don't need to go to school on Monday and Wednesday. Hurray! This is my timetable

Tuesday -- 1000 to 1700 (break from 1300 to 1400)
Thursday -- 1000 to 1800 (break from 1200 to 1300)
Friday -- 1000 to 1300

Looking at my timetable, I feel that this semester seems to more relax. Moreover, there is no exams too. Hence, the last day of school would be 15 February 2008.

I haven't decide on my future yet. There are two options -- go to University or enter the workforce. I am still in a dilemma on where is better. Hai........ I decide to let nature take its course.

Just now, I tried to check my friends' timetable but to no avail. It seems that my computer has problems. Maybe it is because I download too many videos. Hmmmm....... I don't care.

Well, I don't looked forward to the school reopens. Reason is unknown. Hehe....

Ok, I will stop here. I need to continue watching my videos. Currently I am watching 爱情魔发师. One good way to improve my Chinese as this show doesn't have English Subtitles but Chinese subtitles. Hehe...

"""""""""""""""""""" Hate School """"""""""""""""""""

Day before Hari Raya Aidilfitri

2007-10-12T05:37:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is Hari Raya Aidilfitri. I am writing in my blog today as I don't think I will be going online for the next few days. Tomorrow I will be out the whole day. As for Sunday and Monday, I am not sure.

Well this is my Baru Kurong. I bought it from my uncle temporary store, set up at Joo Chiat Bazaar. I didn't bother to tailor-made my clothes as I didn't have any designs in mind. As for the heels, I bought it as Charles & Keith. It took me lots of time to search for the perfect heels. Although I saw some heels at other shoe shops, there are no available size.

Anyway, can't chat anymore. I need to prepare for tomorrow.

........Hahaha..........

*****************Hari Raya Aidilfitri ********************

1st Day of Ramadan

2007-09-13T16:30:00.000-07:00

Today is the 1st day of Ramadan, in other words, 1st day of the fasting month. I fast only for half a day. Hehe... Can't blame me, my 'mother' has arrived.

Actually, I predicted it will come soon. I keep records of them. Although I 'wasted' half a day, I am still happy. Now, I feel so dirty.

Once my 'mother' days is over, I will continue my fasting day. I want to lose weight. For the past few months, I have been gaining weight. Probably, I have been eating a lot and less exercising. Hmmm... I don't know.

That is all I want to say today.

Birthday Presents

2007-08-24T12:00:00.000-07:00

These are the presents I received this year.

This is given by my sister on my birthday, 22 August. So sweet of her!

This present is given by Jie Ying, Jacinda and Mei Yan. Thank you three for such a lovely present.

However, I am yet to received Esther' s present. I don't blame her as we seldom meet each other. She is working now and I am studying now. So most of the time, we don't have the time to hang out like the old time.

Thank you all for the presents!

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) PrEsEnTs (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

Happy Birthday to Me!

2007-08-22T12:00:00.000-07:00

Hip Hip Hooray! It is my birthday today. No celebrations but I am still happy.

Actually, Esther asked me yesterday whether I was free to hang out after her work. I have to reject her offer as I have to be at SMU at 1500. How I wish I could skip the event at SMU and hang out with my friends, even though it is a short while. Hai..........

I remember the good old secondary school days, when my friends would be cracking their brains on how to sabotage me. It always happened on everyone's birthday. It was so much fun. I really miss those days.

Now, being in the 20's, I have to be more mature. No more silly games.

My Birthday wishes:

Happiness
Luck
Man (just kidding)
Celebration/ Surprise
Presents.

There are many more wishes but I don't want to reveal it. Hehee... Have fun guessing.

!!! BIRTHDAY !!! GIRL !!! ON !!! BOARD !!!

Briefing @ SMU

2007-08-20T14:00:00.000-07:00

I woke up early today because I need to go to Singapore Management University (SMU) for dry run of the event on 22 August. Knowing that the journey is going to be long, I left home early (0815). Everything went so smoothly, that I kind of regret going out early.

The bus to the MRT station reached the bus stop seconds after I stepped on the bus stop. The MRT arrived soon after I reached the platform. Actually, I purposely miss one MRT so that I can reach City Hall station slightly late. Least I know, only two of my friends arrived. We had to wait for about 10 minutes.

When we reach SMU, I could only say that there were very few people walking around the area. It was kinda deserted. After a short brief at Lien Foundation Centre, we proceed to the administrative building where the actual event will be held. After all the briefing and allocation of duties, it was only 1000. Our discussion at SMU was only for 1/2 hr.

This is what we are discussing about:

I thought to myself, "A waste of my time. I rather have my beauty sleep at home. Moreover, waste money on transportation."

Now, I am back home, doing my work and relaxing most of time.

Lastly, before I sign out, I would like to wish Hariz a Happy 20th Birthday. May he have a great birthday party later.

'Holidays' have started

2007-08-16T14:51:00.000-07:00

Don't be trick. I am not having my holidays right now. From today till 31 August, my supervisor applied leave for the 8 of us (Francis, WG, CL, XL, HL, Siti, Cindy & I). This is because in September, we are helping PaTH. I am not sure about the details yet. I will inform you soon.

At first, we only have leave for today. However, when I checked my TP email, I found out that we do not have to go to school from now till 31 August. Actually, our holidays is from 28 August onwards -- after out PR2. To cut it short, I am having holidays right now. Hehee...

I can't be in the holiday mood yet as I yet to finish my Major Project. My team has not started on the presentation slides for 27/28 presentation. Moreover, I still haven't started on my individual SIP Report. This report needs to be submitted by 31 August.

Tomorrow, I can't meet my team as I need to see Mr Eric Wee about the PaTH project. The other reason why I can't meet my team tomorrow is the guys will not come to school in the morning. They are only available in the afternoon. Hence, the meeting would be on Monday. I have yet to inform them.

I think I will stop here for now. I need to start on my SIP report. I am afraid I might not have the time to do it.

See Ya~~

Volunteer for PaTh @ VivoCity

2007-08-05T15:00:00.000-07:00

These are some paintings that are showcase at the official launch of PaTH.
Yesterday, we went to VivoCity, not to shop. We are there to volunteer for an organization. This is my supervisor's idea. I am not sure why I agree to such a thing.

All of us were divided into different teams for different tasks -- Traffic Control; Event Area; Guests; Reception and Market. Joyce and I took event area. I don't know why. Maybe we thought it was easy. Hmmm.... hehehe... Cindy was under Market, meaning selling products. Chai Lee took reception. Don't ask me why. As for Xue Ling and Siti, it is kinda complicated. At first, they choose to do Market, but after the organisers view their personality, they placed them in guests. They were unhappy about the changes but had no choice to accept the truth.

We arrived VivoCity Level 3 at 0900 for a briefing. For an hour or two, we helped out. After that, we had nothing to do except chat. As for Joyce and I, we helped out until 1200. Then we had nothing else to do. Our leader didn't tell us what to do. At about 1300, they had a presentation for designers and volunteers (I am one of them).

After the presentation, everyone went to their respective work whereas Joyce and I walked around the area doing nothing. We were trying to entertain ourselves, I think.

Only at 1500, we had lunch. It was so late and I was so hungry by then. Joyce and I took my time to eat as we knew at after lunch we have nothing to do. While eating, Joyce noticed a white man. I mean the person was very pale in colour. When I looked at him, I noticed that he was former Ronin lead singer. I told her who he was and she looked clueless. I tried to explain to her but she still don't know who.

After everything has ended, including the departure of the guest of honor - Mr Teo (Minister of Defense), Joyce and I went to have airbrush tattoo. It cost s$3. It is worth it and doing my part for the charity.

Here is the picture for my fake tattoo:

Overall, my day was so tiring. As I was standing most of the time from 0900 - 1700. On the way home, I slept in the MRT as I was meeting my family for dinner.

I slept at 0200 because I want to watch my anime.

Thanks for the experience and I might consider doing volunteer work if I have the time.

1st try @ Donut Factory

2007-07-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my group of 7 members went to the city to do survey for our Major Project. We meet in the lab at 1000 before going there. At City Hall MRT station, we separate in 2 groups - one group of 4 go to Suntec/Marina Square while the other group of 3 went to Esplanade.

Luck wasn't on our side. My group of 4 tried our luck at the escalator near Marina Square. There, we split into groups of 2. My friend and I tried asking a few that doesn't seem busy at that moment, but none of them were interested. However, the other 2 were able to get one. Soon, the other group of 3 arrived. We informed them about our situation. They, too, also couldn't find any luck there. Hence, we decided to asked our relatives and friends to ease our burden.

We had our lunch at Cavana at Marina Square. After that, we went separate ways. Since it was only 1300, I thought of trying the donuts @ Raffles City. Two of my friends accompany me there. We knew that the queue will be long but I didn't mind as I have lots of time to spare.

After one hour, my friends were tired of waiting and they went back. I waited for another hour to get my donuts. Actually, I was able to get my donuts earlier but the group of students in front of me bought so many and there were about 10 of them in front of me. I bought only 6 donuts because it is my first time there and I don't want to waste food if I buy so many.

After that, I helped my mom buy breakfast for today (27 July 2007). At home, I told my sister about the donuts. At first, she thought was the normal donuts at the bakery, but I told her this is different. When we tried the donuts, we thought of eating all for ourselves, but we didn't. It was so delicious. The waiting time was worth it.

Below is some pictures that I took before eating them:

The cover of the box. Top view.

The size for 6 donuts. Kinda of small but the donuts are superb.

The flavours that I choose. The picture is with flash

This picture is without flash.

From top left: Blueberry Glazed; Lotus Mocha; Orange White Chocolate

From bottom left: Double Chocolate (with dark chocolate fillings); Glazed; Hazelnut Milk Chocolate

This is found at the side of the box. This is the website: www.donutfactory.com.sg

There is only the flavours available and the locations of their outlet.

Other flavours that are available: Spicy Cheese; Kaya White Chocolate; Wasabi Cheese; White Strawberry Heart (with strawberry fillings); Peanut Dark Chocolate; Strawberry White Chocolate; Apple Cinnamon; Peanut Butter Glazed; Cheese Tartar

They have 2 outlets: one at Raffles City, Basement 1 (B1); the other is at Suntec City, Level 1, Tower 3

That is all I want to say here. I hope to buy the donuts again. I want to try other flavours except cheese. I hate cheese. Hehehe...

20072007

2007-07-20T20:07:00.000-07:00

20072007 -- 20 July 2007

What a special number. Some more today is one of my friends birthday. It is none other than Mei Yan. Today is her 20th birthday.

The number is so special because having a repeat only happens once in a lifetime. Next year is going to be Hariz's birthday - 20/08/2008 (20082008). Moveover, his will be even special as he is turning 21.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Mei Yan. I hope she will enjoy her adulthood.

Friday the Thirteen

2007-07-13T16:00:00.000-07:00

Today is friday the thirteen. Many believe that bad things will happened on this day. I am not sure whether to believe it. I always believe in fate.

Anyway, I am here to talk about my class gathering. Haidir and his friends organised a class gathering for all students in LYSS from 2000-2004. At first, Jie Ying and I are going but we change our mind yesterday. We informed all our friends about this gathering and most of them answered not sure until yesterday.

I asked Haidir who had confirmed going to the gathering and he answered that many Malay are going. Then, Jie Ying and I had second thought as we feel that if we go by ourselves, the atmosphere is going to be weird. This is because we are not very close to the Malays.

In the end, the latest count from Haidir was 6 Malays. Most of them are the organisers. I think the timing for this class gathering is not right. I think they should put during the school holidays or Saturaday. This because there are a few of them in the army. They might be book out only during the weekends. This is only my suggestion as it is what I notice among my chinese friends.

Whatever it is, I hope there will be another class gathering again.

LIVE EARTH

2007-07-07T23:59:00.000-07:00

This is what I am watching now.

Time is clicking so fast that I didn't notice that 070707 is ending. Hence, here is the ending of a lucky day and the beginning of a new day.

This is what they have been showing repeatedly. I am getting bored of seeing this over and over again.

One of the message

An animation to show how the whole will be suffering if the whole still don't bother about global warming.

So far the concert was great. I can watch my favourite band -- Linkin Park. However most of the artists that I know will be performing in New York and London. I don't think I will be able to watch most of the London concert as I would be sleeping. I can only watch the New York concert. Anyway, I am already happy that I can catch Linkin Park live in Tokyo, Japan.

New LCD Placed

2007-07-04T19:30:00.000-07:00

3 days ago:

This is my old Tv. Place at the corner of the room for all to watch.

This is part of the wall. Remember: there is a clock and the wall is pink in colour.

Before the location of our new Tv. Only a clock on the wall.

This is after we remove the old Tv and clock for them to install the LCD TV. Take note that my wall is still pink. This is because at the last minute, they couldn't come to install so we have to wait.

Hence, we put the LCD TV box in the living room before the man can install them. Hai.....

Present Day (Today):

Hip Hip Hoarry! Our new LCD is placed. We can watch TV now.

Look at the place. The wires are ugly, but we can't do anything. The clock is placed on the study table because there is no space above the LCD and it also looked ugly if placed there.

Movie: Ratatouille (2007)

2007-07-02T11:15:00.000-07:00

Movie Title: Ratatouille

Genre: Animated / Comedy / Action

Running Time: 100 minutes (1 hour 40 minutes).

Release Date in Singapore: 30 August 2007 (not sure)

Plot:

A young rat living within the walls of a famous Paris bistro wishes to become a chef, but is hindered by his family's skepticism and the rat-despising staff and patrons.

My Views:

I watch this movie in Nabolister (http://www.movies.nabolister.com/). It was a recommendation from a friend. It is about a rat who wants to be a chef. He got his opportunity when a great chef spirit appeared. Follow his adventure to becoming a great chef.

My Rating:

4/5 stars (Great Movie. Worth spending.)

Movie Review - Hot Fuzz

2007-07-02T11:00:00.000-07:00

Movie Title: Hot Fuzz

Genre: Crime / Comedy / Action

Release Date in Singapore: 21st June 2007

Running Time: 121 Minutes (2 Hour++ )

The lead actor in this movie: Simon Pegg. He also came out with the story line.

His partner in 'crime' -- Nick Foster. One is serious in work, the other is not.

Now, the police force is in action. Before that, they do not bother about crime.

The chief wants them to catch this criminal. Wish them luck.

Time for them to kick ass(es). Don't play play!

Synopsis:

Nichocals Angel (Simon Pegg) is a big-city cop who can't be stopped - but he's making everyone else on the force looked bad. When he is reassigned to a small, quiet town, he struggles with his new, seemingly idyllic world and his bumbling partner (Nick Foster). But their dull existence is interrupted by several gristy and suspicious accidents, and the crime-fighting duo turn up the heat and hand out high-octane, car-chasing, gun-fighting big-city justice in this hilarious hit.

My Opinions:

I don't know about this movie until I read Today newspaper. The critics put 4/5 stars. Saying that the storyline is great and humourous. I didn't believe it until I watch the movie. Although sometimes I couldn't understand what they were saying (this is a British movie), I can understand the plot of the movie. There are lots of actions, like most police shows. However, this movie has lots of humour in it. Regardless on whether it is in the police station or fighting a crime.

I recommend those who likes action and comedy to watch the movie.

My Rating:

4/5 stars (Great Movie. Worth spending.)

New LCD

2007-07-01T19:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I was suppose to get my new LCD Television. The delivery time was between 1400-1800. I was excited to watch tv programmes on my new LCD television. Hence, I waited patiently for the arrival. Before that, we have to clear the study table so that they can install the wall mount on the wall. If I want to watch tv, I have to go to either my parent's room or my brother's room or the living room to watch.

From 1400 to 1500 to 1600, there is no news. I was getting bored then. My mom called Courts (the place where we bought it) to confirm the delivery. The person-in-charge inform us that there will be two deliveries -- one from Courts, who will delivery only the television and the wall mount, then the Sony agent will do the installation.

Between 1600-1700, the Courts delivery men delivered the television and wall mount. Wow... Can't wait for the Sony agents to install them and watch tv.

By 1900, there is no news from the Sony agents. Knowing that they are an hour behind time, my mom called Courts, but there refer her to the Sony agents. The bad news was the installation won't be till Wednesday, 4 July 2007. I was disappointed. I have to move back my old television so that I can watch my favourite programmes. Now the television is in the living room waiting to be installed. I am also waiting.

One lousy day

2007-06-20T09:30:00.000-07:00

Listening to: Muttons in the morning on Perfect 10

I am feeling so lousy today. First, school sucks. Next, I LOST all documents in my thumbdrive.

The last time I 'lost' part of my documents but my friend managed to retrieve it back. This is because those documents are hidden in the computer, so I have to change my document settings. After seeing that my documents, I was delighted. I thought I have to do things all over again. Then I save most of my important documents in the school computer.

Besides, I thought it won't happen again. Least I knew, now my thumbdrive needs to be formatted. Damn man! I have lots of photos in it. I also have other stuff which are secret. Now important documents and secret stuff are all gone. Just yesterday, I save the survey Chai Lee send in the thumbdrive. I only remember at night that I haven't saved them in the school's computer as a backup. Hence this morning I thought of copying them into the computer, but the thumbdrive gave problem. The worst thing was I deleted all the survey in the email. I am only left with the survey in the thumbdrive. I want to cry.

Now, the only way to bring documents back home is though my mp3. After this formatting problem, I have doubts. I don't know if it is the best thing to do. If my mp3 also needs formatting in the near future, all my music will disappear. Bear in mind, I have 100 over music and photos in the mp3. It will take some time to upload the same music into the formatted mp3.

My oh my! I am so lousy. I feel to frustrated. I think I will end here as I am not in the mood to type.

Comment on Wait For You

2007-06-04T16:15:00.000-07:00

The previous post was on Elliott Yamin Lyrics.

Now I am going to comment on the song. Before I begin, to all those who don't know Elliott Yamin, he is a contestant on American Idol Season Five. He was 3rd before Katherine McPhee and Talyor Hicks. He was a sweet guy.

This is during American Idol.

This is after American Idol.

From the above image, you will see a huge different is appearance. However, his vocals is still the same. Amazing!

Now about his new song.

When I first heard his song on American Idol Season Six Finale. I fell in love with the music. It was smooth and emotional. However, at then moment, I didn't catch the song title. I was happy to see Elliott on stage. I didn't expect him to produce an album as I was so engrossed with Chris Daughtry.

This piece of music is beautiful as I think it is about a guy missing his girlfriend. The gal run away from him. I miss her so much that he is willing to wait for her. I feel so touched that I feel that he is showing his love to the gal though this song.

That's all I have to comment.

See Ya!

Elliott Yamin's New Single -- Wait For You

2007-06-04T16:00:00.000-07:00

Visit this website to listen to Elliot Yamin's New Single -- Wait for You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEskpfHOTAk

This is the lyrics:

Wait for You

[Verse 1]

I never felt nothing in the world like this before

Now I'm missing you

And I'm wishing that you would come back through my door

Why did you have to go? You could have let me know

So now I'm all alone,

Girl you could have stayed

but you wouldnt give me a chance

With you not around it's a little bit more then i can stand

And all my tears they keep running down my face

Why did you turn away?

[Bridge]

So why does your pride make you run and hide?

Are you that afraid of me?

But I know it's a lie what you keep inside

This is not how you wanted to be

[Chorus]

So baby I will wait for you

Cause I don''t know what else i can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for youIf you think I'm fine it just aint true

I really need you in my life

No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]

It's been a long time since you called me

(How could you forget about me)

You got me feeling crazy (crazy)

How can you walk away,

Everything stays the same

I just can't do it baby

What will it take to make you come back

Girl I told you what it is & it just ain't like that

Why can't you look at me, your still in love with me

Don't leave me crying.

[Bridge]

Baby why can't we just start over again

Get it back to the way it was

If you give me a chance I can love you right

But your telling me it wont be enough

[Chorus]

So baby I will wait for you

Cause I don''t know what else i can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you

If you think I'm fine it just aint true

I really need you in my life

No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

[Bridge]

So why does you pride make you run & hide

Are you that afriad of me?

But I know it's a lie what your keeping inside

Thats not how you wanted to be

Baby I will wait for you

If it's the last thing i do

[Chorus]

Baby I will wait for you

Cause I don't know what else i can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you

You think I'm fine it just aint true

I really need you in my life

No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

I'll Be Waiting.

2 Research trip

2007-05-18T15:00:00.000-07:00

This week, my team went to two places as part of our research on solar energy. They are German European School at Bukit Tinggi and Poh Ern Shih Temple at Pasir Panjang.

The first trip was not helpful as the person don't have much knowledge on the solar panels. The only reason why the school uses the panels were for promotion uses. My first impression of the German School was oh my gosh, are we at the right location? This is because the buliding were quite old. It looked like I was back in the 80's where those students were learning. However, on 2nd thought, it is a school mainly for German students whose parents are working in Singapore. Another thing about the German School was there was no bus service nearby. The only way to the school was by car or taxi. When we board the taxi, the taxi driver didn't know German School nor Bukit Tinggi. The only thing we can tell them was it was near Bukit Timah.

The 2nd trip was better as we have been there before. The main purpose of going there was to take pictures of the solar panel and ask the person-in-charge some questions that we have in doubt.

Both days we went early as we do not want to soak under the afternoon sun. Our trips were short -- 1 to 2 hours only. The best part was we can go home early. I can get a good rest and watch tv programmes that I missed. Hehe........

That's all for now. I have to continue on my work.

Bye!

Bad Day

2007-05-02T17:28:00.000-07:00

I was late for school twice. The main reason is that bas**** bus. Let me explain. On Monday and today, I left home at 0825. Usually, I am able to board the bus as two buses arrived at the same time. However, on these days, the buses came one every 10 minutes. As you know, my bus stop is just 3-4 stops away. Hence, by the time, the bus arrived the bus stop, it will be FULL.

On Monday, I waited for an hour before I can board a bus that is not crowded. Besides that, there is suppose to have 3 free shutters bus but this time there is only one. Damn!

Today, it was raining so I know the bus will be full. I went out late because my siblings start school late so the bathroom is very busy most of the time. I also walk one stop backwards thinking that I could board the bus. How unluckiy. At the bus stop, there were lots of students waiting for the bus. By 0845, only a few manage to squeeze in the some of the buses. At 0840, I tried to flag a taxi but all taxi that drive pass are hired. Two gals tried to share a ride with me but they too can't flag a taxi. In the end, the two gals manage to board the bus, leaving me alone at the bus stop at 0915. I manage to board the bus by 0925 which is not full at all.

It was quite frustrating for me. I thought of complaining to TP about the shuttle bus but I don't know who to complain to. Haii....

I hope tomorrow I can board the bus. Or there will be shuttle bus to fetch us...

I have to log out of school soon so I better sign out now. See YA!

Holidays good bye

2007-04-17T13:30:00.000-07:00

One week till school reopens. This time it is different. For the whole semester, I will be concentrating only on MP/SIP. I also know that we will be divided into groups. My group has 8 members for now. Until the competition starts we will spilt into two groups. We are doing on GreenWave. I don't know how to explain here but I will one day.

Yesterday, I went to the briefing. It was boring. Even though it was my first briefing unlike my friends, they went twice -- one before the school close. Coming Thursday, 19 April 2007, we have to do another trip, to Pandan Loop at Clementi, to know more about fuel cells on cars. The first trip was to a Buddhist temple at Pasir Panjang and it was about solar panels. The first trip Wei Guo and Francis didn't go. This time, Joyce and Chai Lee didn't go.

This last week doesn't seems to be a holiday for last minute enjoyment. This is because we have to start researching about fuel cells and other related to the project. The good thing is that my brain cells can start working early. After more than one month of resting at home, my brain cells had freeze and I could have forgotten most things.

I want to voice my opinions about the project I am doing. One thing I like about this project is that it is not related to business. I am very weak in business related area. However, I like doing hands on work.

I have to end now as I need to continue my research and prepare some questions for Thursday's trip. I wish luck in this project.

Green team......SUCCESS..............

Review of korean drama - My Girl

2007-04-05T23:15:00.000-07:00

I recommend this series for all to watch.

I finish watching My Girl series. The story is very touching. I give the show 8/10.

The lead actress is hilarious. She knows how to bring the character, Ju Yoo Rin, to life. The lead actor is cool and calm. The supporting actress is someone you might not like because of her evil thought to return to her ex-boyfriend who is the lead actor. I sympathise supporting actor as he love the lead actress but could not get her because she is in love with someone else.

I don't want to say so much about the show. Watch it youself. You will not regret it.

It had been a long time since I went out with my friends. Yesterday, we went to Bugis for shopping. So damn happy man. However, at Bugis, there isn't anything that caught my eye.

This is what we took yesterday. So happy to take photos.

Happy Valentine Day

2007-02-14T22:08:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine Day to all!

This is the day that I won't leave home. On the streets, you will definitely see many couples clinging on each other. I feel so out of place. So staying at home was the bet choice.

I went to school for ModSim presentation. Well, I can tell you that it didn't go well. Most likely I would get a just pass. Actually, this sem I am not performing as well as I did the last few sem. I don't know the reason why. It could be too many projects that I lose my concentration. Haii.... Don't know!

After that, I went straight home. Most of my friends went to Seoul Garden for lunch before meeting their 'spouse'. I didn't want to follow because after that I will still be the only one going home alone.

How I wish I have a date? Hai........

Recently, a guy email me at my Tp email saying he want to know me. I was shocked as I thought no one will recognise me. This is because in school I don't dress up. Most of my friends are pretty than me. Later I found out that he know me from my french tutorial lesson. However, I dun remeber who is he. He tried to explain to me but I don't recall. I told Jie Ying to help me see who is he because he is from the same MCT class as her. Jie Ying, unexpectedly, took a picture of him. At first, I was eager to meet her to see but after that I decided that I shouldn't rush into things.

Hence, until now I haven't meet Jie Ying. So I am chatting with a mysterious guy from TP. Cool Man!

Now I am out of words. Hai...... Better stop here then... See Ya!

Good News for me!

2007-01-30T16:15:00.000-08:00

Just now, I went online to do my Procoi peer evaluation. Least do I expect, I received an email from Mr. Eric Wee. He inform my group and Siti's group to enojoy our holiday first as the MP is postponed to 19 Mar. I was so damn happy lor. At first, I can only enjoy 4 days before my MP start. Now I have longer time to spend my holiday.

Hmm... Let me plan first. I will go out with Jie Ying, Esther, Jacin and probably Mei Yan. I will also go out with Wendy if she has the time. Most likely she has because she is gradurating this year. Haha... Too happy man....

However, longer holiday has one disadvantage. It is I might be bored on certain days such as the day I didn't go out at all. Hai... Anyway, this is good news. Don't let the bad ruin the good.

Thank you!

Bad News for Hospitality project?

2007-01-27T16:21:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I opened my TP email to check my mail. I was shocked to see my hospitality lecturer's name(Zhang Wei) there. Usually, she don't inform the class through email but through OLE. When I open the mail, I noticed that it was sent to me and Ka Ming. It was written that we did not submit our report for the 2nd assignment. I was 100% shocked. I know that I have sent my work to Zen so that he can compile them. But how come she said I did not submit? I was curious that I messaged Adeline striaight away.

At first she didn't know what was going on until she read the email which wass CC to her and the other two members. Early this morning, she replied that they didn't put our names down because they didn't take our examples and evidences. After that, she said that Kai Hon had submit to lecturer my work except Ka Ming. I was confused and didn't know whether to believe her. I know that if the lecturer think that Ka Ming and I didn't hand in our work, then our grades will be affected. Or worse, we could fail this CDS. I can't afford to fail it as I don't want to take a CDS in Year 3.2. That year will be a busy year for me.

Now I don't know what to do. Maybe to reply to the lecturer that I have done my work but the group forget to put my name. I am confused. Please help me....

Helplessness~~~~~Ling~~~~~Help!

Last day of holidays!

2007-01-01T23:17:00.000-08:00

Today, everyone went out except me. Mel, Ben and dad went to East Coast Park with Xing Fei's family and Abang Malik's family. Mom went to S'pore Expo for Metro sale with Cik Noor, Cik Dah and Abang Rauf. As for me, I am staying at home to finish my assignment and projects.

For the past few days, I have been going out. Been to East Coast, then to Metro sale, and to OG sale too. I didn't have the time to do finish my assignment though I have done my research.

Now I have finish my work. Besides that, I also watch Anastasia - my favourite movie of all time. I never get sick of watching this movie. Long Live Anastasia! My family should be home about 2100 because tomorrow is school reopens.

How do I feel about the school reopens? I am not happy at all. One, I have many projects to do. The deadlines are so close. Besides, exams are drawing near - about 1 1/2 month away. Though I only have 2 exam paper. I am woried for one of them - Managing Information for organisation- because this sub need lots of memorisation. I cannot understand the sub well because it is all about IT. Guess what? I hate It. It keeps changing all the time that I can't keep up with it.

Anyway, let's not talk about school, talk about now. I am enjoying myself as I get to play the computer for as long as I like without my brother asking me that he wants to play. Haha...

That all folks!

Got my Licence at Last

2006-12-23T17:30:00.000-08:00

Today I received a registered letter. At first, I didn't know what was it as it is my first time getting a registered letter. After I signed, I found out that it was from the traffic police. Then, I knew that I have got my car licence. I thought I would get it on 03 Jan 2007 as it is 2 weeks after I have pass my practical test.

This is what happened on the 18 Dec 2006.

I went to the driving centre behind City Plaza at 1330. I drove to Ubi driving centre to practise the circuit. After that, I practise on the road. My instructor show me route 8 and 2. By the time I finished practising, it was 1525. I have to be settle down in the waiting room at 1530. I only have 5 min break.

I left home in a rush that I didn't have the time to go to the toliet. Besides, I thought the practise is going to be short. And after that, I can go to the toliet. However, the lesson was until 1525. I have to bear it for 2 hours.

I was the last person to enter the waiting room. I was allocated to route 10 and Mr Lim is my tester. I was confident this time as I told myself to do things slow and easy. Lucky the sky was dark and it wasn't raining yet. Everything went smoothly during the test. The tester didn't say much about my driving. Unlike the previous tester who kept saying about my driving skills which made me nervous and panic too.

After the test, the tester and I went to a room to review my performance. On the way, my heart was pumping so hard. I thought I fail. But when the tester said, "later go down and watch the video," I was happy and as I knew I have passed. I got 18 demeit points out of 20. These are the points deducted:
1. Incorrect technique for emergency stop----------- 2 pts
2. Insufficient Acceleration-------------------------- 2 pts
3. Verr off course while driving---------------------- 4 pts
4. Fail to slow down when approaching road hazard -- 6 pts
5. Take too long in checking blind spot/mirror-------- 4 pts
Total: 18 pts

After that, the rain started. I thought, "So lucky to have test at 1545. Or else I will fail in this heavy rain." I called my dad to pay for the licence though Nets which I don't own one. I told my instructor that I have passed and he was happy for me. He told me to watch the video and he went back to the driving centre. I waited for my dad as the video watching starts at 1700.

At 1700, I notice that there were about 8 people in the room. Hence I knew that only 8 people pass during my session. The video was about 6 minutes only. After that, I went to level 2 to apply for my licence.

After that, my dad ask me to drive his car to Mamaboy's house to fetch Mama and Ben. I drove quite slowly as I wasn't use to my dad's car. I also had to learn how to park without the poles. After fetching them, I drove to Changi General Hospital to visit my Grandfather. There, my parking wasn't good as there was a hump. Overall, the experience was great.

I told Jie Ying about my test. She was happy for me. She also pass her final theory. I hope she can drive soon.

Driving____________Nerd____________Driving

View for the week

2006-12-16T13:37:00.000-08:00

Hoorray........Jie Ying has a blog too. At least now, we can chat with each other thru tag if there is no msn chat in school. Haha....

First, I wanna say my grandfather was admitted to the hospital for high fever. He has been there for a week already. He is suppose to be discharge a few days later but because the doctor found a tumour in his large intestine. Hence, he needs an operation. Wish him Luck!

Second, I just finished my term test yesterday. For my poly friends, they still have CDS test today. I wish them good luck. I have 4 term test. I only have confident in one test, that is Procoi. I have confident that I can do well. As for the rest, I think I can pass but not in the A range.

Third, my driving practical test is in two days time,. Worried? Not really. I am more confident this time. I have learnt a lot more. Basically, I have to take things slow and steady. I really hope I'll pass my test this time as I do not want to spend more money on the lesson. Im going broke soon.

Forth, I am going to KL in three days time. I can't wait. I has been a long time since I left Singapore. Actually, I wanna take a plane to further countries like Australia. Due to my mom fear of plane, we could only go to Malaysia or Thailand thru coach or car. Boo hoo hoo. When I started work and earning stable income, I will go overseas. Hahaha....

Last, Wesley wants to meet my on th 27th dec. However, I haven't confirm with him that I will be coming as I have so many projects to do. I dunno if I have the time. If I can't make it on the 27th, then I will have to meet him another time.

Well, after typing so much, my fingers are tired. Blog some other time. Most likely after my KL trip.. Bye.

Nerdatic was here......

Semester 2.2

2006-11-01T23:20:00.000-08:00

It has been one week since the school reopens. I don't really look forward to that because I heard that there are many projects to do. True enough, there are many projects to do but only two examinations.

Besides that, I have to form a group of 4 for my Major Project(MP). At first, I want to do with Xue Ling(XL), Joyce and Miaoyan. But after discussing with my lecturer, he recommend me to team up with guys so that it won't be tough on me. I was in a dilemma. I had to choose one gal from the team I want to do with. Then, I have to decide who are the guys going to be. From the beginning, I have choosen XL because she is bright and has the potential to do well. As for the guys, I actually decide to do with Ridzwan so that I can choose Sya to join my team. However, Ridzwan was approach by another team so I had to give him a miss. Why did I choose Ridzwan? He is great at presentation and is hardworking. Hence, I had to choose another guy. I decided on Wei Guo(WG) because among all my guys classmates, he is the smartest and the hardworking one. Knowing that he won't do alone, I had to include his best friend Francis in the team.

In conclusion, my team consist of WG, Francis, XL and me.

Now time management issue.

With so many projects to do, I have to draw up a schedule so that I can perform in all the projects. However, currently, I am so busy. On Mon and Tues, I finish at 1700, Wed at 1600, Thurs at 1500 and Fri at 1300. Normally after school, I would rest first before doing work. Now, I haven't plan on how to manage my time but I will do it a.s.a.p. hehehehe.....

Sakura!

2006-10-11T10:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we went to Sakura buffet restaurant at Orchard Shoppping Centre. This is because our seniors, Kak. Linda, Kak. Farah and Adrian, want to thank us for working with them for one month. However, Adrian paid the full price. (Don't worry, he can claim from the company.)

It is my first time there. I had been to Thai Sakura restaurant at Eastpoint. The difference if one is buffet style and the other serves Thai cuisine. The buffet one is cost $26 per person. To me, it is expensive. I can buy one bag with that money.

The food was delicious. There were many varieties of food -- cold dishes, local dishes, western dishes, many diff. flavours of ice-cream, cakes, etc. I had one round of food. I thought of going for another round but everyone seems to be full, so I stop too.

While eating, we chat about our life and plans for the future. There were fun and laughter. It is a pity that we didn't bring a camera along to capture the moment.

All and all, the dinner was a great. Thank you Kak, Linda, Kak Farah and Adrain for the amazing time working at Standard Chartered bank. Thank You very much.

Happy.......Nerdatic......Laughs

Bad yesterday; Bored today

2006-10-06T14:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a bad day. It was predicted because I broke my sister's perfume bottle. In TV drama series, if you break anything, the whole day will be bad.

First, I reach work late. This is because the belts I was wearing was giving me trouble. It took me 5 minutes to get it right. Ahhhhhh........ Next, my work was rejected and had to redo half of it. Damn it!

Though today is Friday. It should be a joyful day as the weekends are here. However, I am not as happy as I should be because I had to finish up my work. By 11a.m. I was done. However, I didn't hand it up as I was the only one who has finish. Weirdly, my work was last to check but was the first to finish. Hence I waited for one of my colleagues to finish and hand up too before I pass up mine. I pass up the work at 1215. Then, I surf the web for jokes to humour me. At 1330, I decide to take my 1hr break.

I went to Parco Bugis Junction by bus near my workplace. Actually I thought of buying a present for Esther whose birthday is on 30 October. However, I couldn't find anything that suit her. I saw a few handbags that I though was nice but I didn't buy them as I couldn't bear to use my money. Boo hoo hoo........ Another reason is I don't know if the handbags suit my personality. Normally, I buy things when I am with someone. This is because I will ask them for their opinions.

From 11a.m. onwards, I had nothing to do. My supervisior is checking our work now so she didn't give us any work to do. Therefore, we are waiting. wait...wait...wait... Hai, what to do now? There is nothing to surf on the internet. Many websites that I want to excess is blocked by the company, so I have to find other websites that is interesting to surf.

For now, I'm writing this blog to fill my boredom. After that, how? I don't know.

Better go now. I'm running out of things to write. Hehehe............

Bye!

Singapore Idol!

2006-09-26T19:12:00.000-07:00

Singapore has another Singapore Idol.

That is Hady Mirza.

After 6 months of competing, Hady Mirza emerged as the winner.

During the top 12 performance show, I was routing for Mathilda or Hady to win. Well at least I made the right choice. HAHAHA....

Hady was a consistent performer. He won about 75% of the votes on Monday night (25092006). That is a big difference as many people thought that the fight between Jonathan Leong and Hady is going to be a close fight. However, it wasn't.

I have nothing much to say as one of my favourite has won.

Once again, Congras to Hady Mirza for winning the title of Singapore Idol Season 2.

A BIG fan of Hady

...Lucky Bells...

Working part-time NOW

2006-09-26T11:10:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I started work at Standard Chartered Bank doing temp Data Entry. Before I went to the workplace, I had to go to Kelly Services at International Plaza to get my location and time sheet.

When I reached Kelly Services, I saw 4 guys waiting to be serve. At first, I thought they were waiting for the person to give them the location and time sheets. Least do I expect that I would be working with them.

When we reach the Bank, it was already 1000hrs and we were show to the meeting room to wait for furthur instructions or waiting to be allocated to our seats. However, later we were told that it would be our working room. We had to set up our own computer (desktop/laptop). By the time the com were set up, it was almost 1230. A short presentation was shown to tell us how to do our work. Even after the presentation, we still do not understand how to do it. We ask our supervisor's helpers but they do not know how to do it too. It was quite stressful and chaotic.

We end work at 1900. By that time, I had to break my fast. I was also having a headache because I didn't have enough water and was stressing myself too much.

Chance slip away...

2006-07-29T13:05:00.000-07:00

When I first received an email from my lecturer that I am going for OSIP, I was exhilated. I thought to myself, "this is the first time I am going overseas. Yahoo!". When I meet the lecturer for a briefing about OSIP, I found out that I would be sent to Indonesia for OSIP.

My heart sank as I knew my parents will not allow me to go. The country is full of violent and is chaotic. My lecturer advise me to discuss with my parents about it first before confirming.

So I went to ask my parents. As expected, they didn't allow me to go. One reason is the chaotic country(which is unsafe to let a gal go) and another is I will there for 19 weeks, which is about 4 months.

There goes my dream of going overseas. Hai... Now, I have to do my SIP in Singapore.

How I wish that I could go to other country except Indonesia, probably, Malaysia.

Anyway, I have to look at the bright side of life. Pray hard that a miracle will happen(which rarely happen to me)

Dragging my feet,

American Idol!

2006-05-26T11:06:00.000-07:00

As everyone knows, the winner for this year American Idol is Taylor Hicks. Well, it is clear. On Wednesday night show, he sang better than Katharine McPhee. Moreover, he has never been in the bottom three or two before (like season 4 winner Carrie Underwood.)

Well, this year AI has found many potential singers like Chris and Elliott. I was routing for either of them to win AI but it didn't happen. I hope to see either one of their albums out in store. (I mean in Singapore.)

Anyway. Singapore Idol is on air now. Remember to watch this Sunday episode. One of my enemy is in. I hope she won't make it through the top 12. Hahahaha.....{evil laughter}

Nerd was here...

Another Disappointment! DAMN!

2006-05-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

OH MY GOSH!

Another good singer is eliminated -- Elliott Yamin. And the final two contestant that will be fighting each other for the title of American Idol are Katharine McPhee and Taylor Hicks. Why? Why? Why must this happened? Why can't great singers stay longer in the show? Why doesn't Americans vote for them?

I was routing for either Chris or Elliott to win. But with them out of the show, I don't see any point of predicting this year winner. Both of them have their own strengths and weakness. Anyway, who is going to win is up to the Americans vote. I wish them all the luck.

Singapore Idol is on this Sunday, 21 May 2006. Remember to watch the first few episodes of SI because it is the audition period. There will be lots of fun and laughter. A good way of relieving stress. hahaha...

............Happy watching................

Cool to Skip!

2006-05-18T09:30:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh! I skip EEMACC lecture. That is so cool. There is a few reason for me to skip lecture. First, the lecturer is boring. Second, the topic we are studying, I have learnt before in secondary school. So I understand how to do it. Only changes I have to do is to follow the lecturer way of doing it.

Now I am at the school library. Kinda bored as I am alone. My friends are in the lecture theatre now. However, I won't be here long as I am going for Marketing Intelligence lecture. Though I don't like the lecture, I have to understand the subject in order to get a good grade.

I am really very bored here in the library. No one to chat with. Hai...

Well, got to go now. Having lecture soon.

@@@ Off now @@@

Disappointment during AI

2006-05-13T21:07:00.000-07:00

Hey,
Watching the results show on Thurday was disappointing. I was routing for Chris to win this year AI but he was voted out. I wasn't the only one who was shocked, Chris (himself) and many Americans were too.

With Chris out of the show, I have to change my prediction. I choose Ellliot Yamin. He touch me when he sang the two Elvis Presley songs on Wednesday nights. Taylor can be a good entertainer, but I dun think he can make it well in the charts. As for Katherine, I think if she dun sing songs that are tough to imitate, she can do well. My predictions for the finals of AI is Elliot and Talyor(Everyone loves him because he is entertaining.).

Happy watching the finals!
