Days came and passed..

The past week has been fine for me...got encouragement from friends after my..erm..'lack of motivation' posts...and really thank u guys for all that!

Mum and Dad have been overseas for the past one and a half week...(they just knew when to go for their holiday.) Haiz..every exam period, i always longed for some nutritious home cooked meal by mum but guess i have been missing these cooked meals for the past three end of sem exam period!..Sick of instant noodles and takeaway..finally went grocery shopping on friday...also trying to destress myself away from revision..Oh man! grocery shopping is tough! i mean i just bought stuff for me and my bro...like fruits and some vege and meat(that would probably last 2-3 more days) n i have trouble carrying them...can imagine my parents who went to the market on every sunday hav to carry all the stuff including e breakfast! Guess i shd try to make it a point to accompany them to e market at least once a month bah...(well..its been really a long time since i accompany them to the market - i did it when i was REALLY young- and sunday morning is like my bball session u see...)

Cooked myself a decent dinner i would say..(still room for improvement...)Haha..guess my bro who ate din complain much except for the fishy smell of e small shrimp was too overwheming for him..yeah but did enjoy the process of cooking..since its also been a long time that i like fry some vege or cook some soup.....then watch 'Wild Hogs' on channel 5...totally hilarious!haha..yup...so basically i din study much for the day...haha onli in the morning and night cause aftn went grocery and chess game with master zhou (been having aftn game series with him lately)...and yup cooking in the evening...

Was telling my friend that if you are gg to ask me what i did lately/most of the time iwould reply, mugging (alittle), napping (quite alot), and folding clothes...-since my mum is not around and my lazy bro is too obessessed in making money and always complained that he is just plain tired to do anything (and ironically he went chionging ytd night all the way till this morning..Thanks BRO!) n I HATE folding clothes...n ironing my clothes....

Nth much to blog about today tho...same studied awhile in the morning and slack my whole aftn through....finally touch my keyboard after a week..great..gg to barely pass for my 'final' keyboard exam this coming tues...haiz..

(oh ya!back track alittle, went to play bball on friday with my 损友 who also are in the midst of their examss as well(cause they jio me to play)....BUT i totally enjoyed it cause is played 5 a-side full court rather than the usual half court 3 or 4 a-side ...n yup hasnt really play since i sprained my ankle last month..then it kind of set me thinking whether i should try out and see whether i can make it to the team(my sengkang csc) and play some competitive game cause..that's one of my goal as well? since missing out of the bball team during sec n jc...But i'm m gg away for the next three months!cant train with them and competition is in sept....and i m only coming back in aug...haiz...okie that's one of my worries but not the main concern...haha of course..firstly, qn is whether i have the cut to be selected anot...n 2nd my physical condition as well especially my ankle..(was totally sore even tho i barely played very hard that night?)..But yup deep down i hope to make it for trial lar..but has little confidence in myself to do so everytime..anyway..see how it goes when i come back from the states!

Back to today...Had a mini dinner celebration for my grandma's birthday..alot of my relatives din turn up...guess..its exam period and kind of last min as well...but still i had a good time...haha my aunt was like..'U having exam?then u still come?' I was 'Wah..exam also must eat one right...and special occassion ma...haha..(deep down i was like..if i stay at home.. i also slack)'...Was walking grandma back home after the dinner and she suddenly popped,"去找女朋友".. I was like" wah..婆婆...u r so random..other cousins including my bro ard u dont ask u ask me...okie lar..cause i was walking alongside with her..so i guessed she could only ask me.."Haha.. i could only say like...'在找，不如你介绍啦。"She was like" aiya find someone u like la..." n guess my other cousin who was infront of us overhead what we said n she started to like talking about this horoscope calculation thingy to see whether u n ur 心目中的对象 are compatible anot..and the only thing is..is only valid for a year..i was like" a year?aiyo...so poor validity and sounds unreliable - (sorry psy 的老毛病有来了..)" everyone was like providing her the info needed n asked her to calcuate for us.. and my bro was fed up with my grumbles.."aiya for fun onli ma..u dont believe then u still ask her to calculate for u..." =X...

Guess its quite a lengthy post!haha..kind of forgot i m still in the midst of examS!!!shit...haha..but..i m already like thinking wat i m gg to do for the next sem! - find tuition!cause past one whole year..no income and i totally overspent my allowance..n my savings are like dwindling FAST! JiaLat! - take some dance lesson? maybe if cheap bachata class is offered in nus i might pay for it n refresh it.. - choose to join another interestgroup in nus or try out for the my constitutency bball team?..Ha! see how it goes....

(imagine having this guy singing this song in a ballroom with you n ur loved one dancing?..truly amazing..)

I need something/someone/some-sort/some....to look FORWARD to!

2010-04-26T22:23:00.004+08:00

Tomorrow is the start of my exam and i have to two papers tmr and I m still here blogging. Probably the blog has turned into a place for me to vent my frustration and grumbles then blogging about fun stuff which I havent had in ages!

Kind of losing my motivation, and feeling kind of frustrated. Have i really slacked all this while? I mean, at times, i really feel that i lack the drive i used to have in many aspect, in my life and studies in particular, and i m kind of laidback now? even though i aim for honors years so badly but my actions speak otherwise. Its kind of like, "okay, i m glad that i make it (if eventually), if i dont (touch wood) then i have to make deal with it, thats life." been going through my mind. Am i self handicapping myself? I mean being a psychology major myself and knowing how goals are impt, ways in which we can work towards attainment goal etc..(and i mean to go honors years cap 3.5 is indeed a attainable goal)..i m kind of taking things far too easily and leave many of the things up to chances and destiny. Take a test for example, when i felt that i revised enough for it, and I would kind of leave it to fate and hope that the test is gonna be do-able in a sense (which i m doing it now..) I mean, shdnt i be at least trying to cherish every sec now, and try to recap/revise rather than telling myself "is my fault, shd have study/revise more, but i really tried my best." tomorrow if things dont go well? And the thing is this kind of lament and regret dont last long for me!

Okay, great. Just scrolling up and see what i had typed, kind of doesnt make sense to anyone and myself too i guess. A more simple example. "what are u gonna do after u grad?" Me: "I dont know? see how it goes?sign on if my results are cuiz. If can, go on study my masters." Clearly, i hav no goals in mind, taking one step at a time! I really need something or someone or some-sort to motivate me now!!! -forget the past, chg the old laidback self, start afresh and move forward..-

How true?

2010-04-11T00:11:00.003+08:00

How true is that?..Guess i have done lots of my procrastination homework lately...haha..thinking about way non importance stuffs...Here's one of them..Do you believe that the day that u are born is all predestined? How true have u found yourself to be as described by ur horoscope?How different are you from your siblings, born in different months, in terms of character? And y some twins are so alike?

VIRGO MALE
You have a great curiosity about women. These fine creatures are something for you to experiment with, examine and cater to. As for sex you feel that it is an experience that should not be overlooked, providing you have the time and the desire. You are interested in anything that will further your career. You are always interested in how much money your partner can make and in turn what they do with it as you find waste to be sinful. You can come across as a father figure if your mate lets you become over protective. You will only propose or get into a committed partnership after a respectable length of time and only when you are one hundred percent sure that the relationship will be lasting. You need to feel that your mate will enhance and support your career and make your home a clean place of comfort. You offer security, reliability and faithfulness.

Had a wonderful......Day!

2010-04-03T23:26:00.009+08:00

Was totally unproductive in studies for the past two days....But on a lighter note, i really had a lot of fun...

Join CSC last sem...truely enjoyed every min spend with the people in it and the elderly as well..

Was quite apprehensive in joining the Organising Comm for it when zx (vice chair) ask me to..(cause was afraid needs alot of commitment and stuff and moreover kanna publicity..i was like "do i have to stand at the linkway to do publicity and fund raising etc"...) in the end it turns out quite okie (hasnt need any fundraising drive yet)..nt too much of commitment and workload..Which was ideal for me lar..haha cause i join this Rsvp - regular service volunteering programme - THE SENIORS - a bi weekly basis one than a weekly basis in the first place..again due to commitment lor..haha wanna spend time on volunteering yet not too much on it...

Its been great to koe the whole bunch of them...at least i feel reallly comfortable talking to the elderly and the volunteers as well...can really see alot of the volunteers really do their utmost for the elderly during regular visits..really impressed..haha..okie i m the one slacking...haha but ya..its been fun lar..for the past sem...

Had this major outing...just few hours ago..invited some of the elderly for a walk at the southern ridges..Not a lot of our befriended elderly came..cause those elderly we helped are really old, and have difficulties walking...so they din come...those who came are from the same neighbourhood that we serve lar...but still saw alot of familiar faces like mdm chong, and mr chiu....

I truely enjoyed myself today.. loved taking pictures for them.. (and i truely believe pictures can capture the best moments and will bring back all the good memories down the road when u look at them again)...well at the same time..zi pai my self also..well i guess the whole event ran smoothly..small hiccupps here and there..but still..a great success! haha bo bian..in OC..must zi kua abit...got sense of satisfaction lor..

Still..wanna thank all my friends.. geok xiuyun xavier chersiong for all coming down to help out..din really talk to them much..cause wasnt following the main party...got to do admin stuff behind the scene...Rongsheng - really thanks for helping the us for the prep and the outing itself also...Ah boon - haha for the printing of shirt...the rest of OC...the help render to one another..Finally i think the most of the credits shd to given to my chairperson margaret..she really done a good job in aliasing, preparing for the event, actual prep till the outing itself...she's really one good leader i guess...i'm really impressed..

-enjoy the pics!-

Green, Red, Blue.....colors of the wind...

2010-03-26T21:46:00.005+08:00

Decided to wind down alittle today..Feel kind of stress this week..knowing that my remaining tests are gonna test on the like the whole book.?Greatzz....Been going to school early and staying late in school...really feel physically tired as well..Haha symptoms of Burnout??Probably.

Rs had a performance this week in school..Sang沒那麼簡單by 黃小琥.. He sang pretty good actually...accompaniment on the keyboard was good as well..All and all.. 有feel. Really enjoyed..(well..haha..i know he is good in his vocal..but everytime he sings..I wld find that he lacks the 感动度..plus, the song by the original singer set a high standard as well...so haha..i had a rather high expectation for his performance...well at least he din disappoint the people that went down to support him!!...Really 令我刮目相看。。哈哈。。赞!

Had my Ippt yesterday...achieved my silver target..Guess..the running in school once a week do help a little..Haha..but was pretty glad that my cousin was there to pace me as well..If not i would have slowed down in the middle of the run...Haha had a really good chat with him over dinner..and concluded that we are really 老了at the end of the day...Well..i think i hasnt really been talking to my cousins.(or i would say bonding i guess)...Is only at times during major celebration that we kind of get to see each other...and during these times..kind of like din really chat much as well??(okie i admit..i m too engross eating the food during celebration..and yes i m extremely guilty of not remembering some of my cousins name as well) But anyway...well..at least..i get to koe how's he been doing lately..

Now, I would highly recommend (for those who are reading it now) to take some time off listen to the song 沒那麼簡單and do look at the lyrics as well..haha..its really a nice song..

Bulging Tummy

2010-03-15T00:27:00.003+08:00

Had good food lately. Totally Broke. Totally. Stayed in school till late lately, and thus spend more money on food. Friend suggested me to really go down to details where my money goes to, well I just replied him, 'Basically, no need to to break down, ALL goes to FOOD'.

Subway - botak jones + a quarter of fried carrot cake and a quarter of fried kuay teow- ichiban sushi - kuishinbo - yes that's my dinners and lunch these 4 days.

Great..so many things not done and i m still slacking...Critique not done, and tests are coming along..both physical (IPPT) and school. Oh wells thats great..

Had lunch with my some of my pals today. Same CAP as one of them. But he seems more driven and motivated to get his 2nd upper. Which means a 8 A- s to reach according to his calculation. Yes. For me too. So SHIT..Of course i have a goal in mind too..well..in psychology..a goal in mind and u work towards it, self prophecy would work. On the other end, my results are otherwise. Thus, now came the next psychogly terminology - re-evaluate and reset ur achievable target as you go along. And here goes, lowering my targets every sem, till e point that some other friend of mine was saying that it is way too low to be set as a target, you should set it higher!

Highs and Lows...

2010-03-07T22:11:00.005+08:00

Looking through my window and seeing the luminated kite soaring high in the night sky, with cool wind breezing through, kind of like the moment of tranquilility, really dont feel like doing anything right now, just sitting by my window. But i am kind of lagging behind what i have set to do this weekend. Oh wells...

Wasn't feeling emotionally well at the start of the week, probably due to the mid terms and kind of thinking about some past as well though. Plus, wasn't really having good sleep for the past week, keep having hectic dreams, whereby is like the dreams are kind of like very eventful and chaotic in a sense, and felt totally shagged when i woke up. And midway through school, totally concussed in the central library to catch up some sleep.

Hasn't really got back the momentum to study as well since the midterm/cny break. That feels shitty. Guess have to slowly pace myself back again. Well, had a eventful and fun weekend!Though now I m feeling kind of guilty that i might had WAY too much fun...

Played bball on friday and today as well. It's kind of like a fad or something, now wanting to focus to improve on it cause been losing competition lately..Haha..See how it goes, hopefully we can make through the next round unlike past competitions, where we cant even make through the round robin stages.

Had a really fun time out with my CSC friends. Though not many people could make it for the outing, but i feel that it wont be that fun and interactive if there were more people. Really get to know more of them, compare to like talking to them every fortnightly during visits and perhaps Hi-Bye in school as well.

We went to the 'Hangout' at Prinsep Place. Is been a long time since i played Wii (i Had one at home but i hardly play. And yup no one to play with as well!). The Razing Rabbit is totally awesome!. And yup, my poor coordination skills cause me to end up being the 'Toilet Paper' -_-!!. But was really fun! Lol. (Guilt seems to have slowly crawled back again..)

WHat a Week!

2010-02-23T00:08:00.007+08:00

I can gladly say that this recess week is the most enjoyable recess week that i had till now. Well, tests are postponed, 'phew' if not, i am sure that i could not finish revising given this hectic week of cny. so apart from the first three days of cny, wed n thurs which is 'chu si and chu wu', spent alittle bit of time studying and glad that i did that. Cause friday and sat were hell lots of fun!

Well Friday, supposedly a gym day for me, but guess cny, give myself a break. Yup, excuses! In the end, played mahjong with my pals at my house. Hardly invite people to come my house to play mahjong because i had to move at least 50% of my things in the store room which includes two duffel bags, in order to get the mahjong table. Thus, before i can relax and play, i have already sweat like hell in moving the things.

Okay finally broke my losing streak, won quite alot during the game. After which bball. Kind of rough i guess. Tempers flared etc. Got myself injured during the game as well. Sigh. Going to have a match coming up at vivo this weekend. Great even lesser time to hit my books for test next week.

Makeshift courts again - which i kind of detest and yup think gonna lose again as well.

On sat, there is cny celebration for the elderly. It was really fun. For past events I have to take photos so i din really join in with the games etc but this time, arrowed my friend to do it. Haha. totally enjoyed myself during the games. Well the granny in blue is kind of my fav elderly cause it really reminds me of my ah ma. And there is another one called kam por, her smile is really the best and most amiable. And the elderly began to ask us to take candid pictures of them. Haha, its so funny!

After which, went to one of the elderly house and had curry chicken. It was good. And was given hongbao. When i got home at night and checked the hongbao, i was even more paiseh when i first received it. After the curry chicken, left for imm and buy stuff for steamboat with my jc classmates. Had a great time, tho i was kind of tired and hungry throughout the shopping and probably the steamboat as well. But overall was good. Talked to xiaoyan, who is gonna be the next sinseh. Everyone was like asking her to 'ba mai' for us. Check whether our bodies are like functionally properly or not. After steamboat, gambling again. Well, won some also. Guess the red + black color combi works.!

2010-02-16T22:53:00.002+08:00

Guess as we grow older, the anticipation for CNY seems to be not as much compared to when we were younger. Doesnt really have the mood to celebrate it though. Haha, well i admit that i m ageing. Guess is also kind of routine? My aunt would visit us first in the morning cause my mum is the eldest sis. And yup took a picture with my brother and cousin. Sometimes i don't like taking pic with my brother. Haha, cause lots of people say he is more handsome!Well, true though, he slimmed down alot, really. Well there is this big field in front of my house and lots of people would often come down during weekends especially to have picnic, fly kites, play freebies etc. And i caught this lovely gigantic kite on Vdae. If any girl sees this, I'm sure it would melt the heart of hers. Well, it melted mine though. Haha. Went off to my uncle's house and guess that's the end of 'chu yi'.

Went to my mum's side on the second day. Nothing much, except that now our generation seems to have overtaken the mahjong table from our parents. Haha. Totally no luck, lost 10 bucks for just tw0 rounds and like just 10 cents and 20 cents rate?Wore supposedly to be my lucky color - black jeans - but guess it didn't work. Should have wore a matching undies tho...Then we dropped by the house of my old neighbour. Well they moved to a landed property in hougang with their own garden and swimming pool. It's really nice. Took a couple of photos there with my family. Then went back to my aunt's place again to meet up with my cousins as we were watching Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief later in the night. As for bro and parents, they went home.

Should have taken a pic with my cousins and their gfs and bfs but i forgot. Haha. Well the movie started off well, but it gets really lame and crappy into the middle and the end. My cousins said was quite good, yes, its funny, and effects were quite good, but i think the story plot was kind of shallow.

Third day of new year - went to Jm's place and 'bai nian' since i was heading to my army friend's house too. Then went back to woodlands. Totally shagged. And now sitting in front of my laptop and tv watching memoirs of geisha. Bringing all the memories of my gek module - samurai and geisha. Actually i liked the module alot. Learnt the geisha and samurai culture and of course, know that the stereotype of geisha as prostitute is kind of false. But speaking of school work, now all my tests are postponed. -_-! Its not helping me much, though i have more time to study bah. 4 tests in a week, or 3, that's bad anyway.

Losing it....

2010-01-23T00:06:00.004+08:00

Was complaining to my friend the other day...feel kind of tired playing basketball after all these years...well..the feeling is kind of on and off...but nv really have been this long i guess...

Probably is way too long ago since i last played competitive game bah...i mean a really 5 aside game...

Been playing with my sec friends since like ten years ago..?its realli hell of a journey...totally out of our mind when we were young..played from like 3pm in the freaking blazing sun (kind of regret now cause my complexion now is way too dark) till 7pm in the evening..no kidding...followed by 2 bowls of noodles + 2 glasses of sugar cane + one bowl of desert after every session to replenish all the energy sia...

Well we still have our regular bball session on sundays morning..but was telling my friend that i feel that like kind of bottleneck....kind of nt improving already...like been playing the same own pattern and stuff until sian already..maybe we hasnt been playing with any strong opponents since we last shifted to current place to play...or probably i m sick of playing the position whenever i play with my pals......

Flashback kind of running thru my mind now..haha...like rmb the days i give crap excuses just to escape training in sec and jc...i m damn 'nua'..and freaking 'chao geink' during training..lol..still rmb kanna reprimanded my jc teacher for nt having stamina..haha...well have to admit sia..even till now run for ippt silver also got problem.....

Well..have been like trying to achieve various goals in various aspect of my life lar..like taking up keyboard lessons and even dance etc...as for bball..well altho we played like for ten years..but is like recent years in uni then we really started playing open competitions..spent on making a jersey etc...well tho been losing still..(nv got pass the first round)...i still wanna win a competition with them.and thats my goal also...(win already then can throw away the jersey and join other better teams haha..)..

Of course..think i said it umpteen times..one of my regret is that..i nv make it for sch team or wat so ever...well totally long story but yup lots of factors as well...anyway...was thinking of like playing for csc or other competitive teams but as usual the pessimistic side of mine would say there are lots of people that i far better than i m..no speed no stamina and definitely no height to challenge others.....haha plus injury sustained etc..make it kind of extra difficult sia...haha or probably i shd take up a brand new sport or activity since i m feeling kind of tired already...

1) An early xmas gift...

Yes...红色炸弹..Haiz..now..its like moving on to another stage of life le..where all ur friends start to get married..then u have to attend their wedding dinners...well i just siam one..last june (cause i was at Work and Travel)..okie this coming jan...and next year June another one...so i can see a trend of like every six months a friend of mine will get married....wow....*so do i get a student rate for the hongbao rate if i flash my concession card?*

2) 25 hours

Yes. I really do need the extra hour..after my late baths these days..i would look into the mirror and see that my eyebags are realli darker than before...been working these days...well actually the job is quite okie...just that the travelling part sucks..cause its at different locations. AND i have night lessons so got home late...and next day wake up early....for a NUA person like me..who require like 10 hours of sleep one..xiong1 lor...anyway...i dont mind teaching tho...provided that the kids are like pri 5 and older..cause any younger than that...headache sia..yup..two sessions a day realli takes up my energy man..realli have to agree with my friend...realli can 体会老师的辛苦，尤其是those teaching nursery one....敬佩他们 no wonder such a high turnover rate in MOE....but then..some people realli can like engage with the young kids well...i definitely dont belong to that group...but on e lighter note..i learnt smth new to handle realli young p1 p2 kids....engage more rather than discipline for young kids cause no matter how hard u try to discipline them..it doesnt work...

3)OCPD?

well..my eyes are realli closing right now and i m realli shutting my brain off already....too tired..but now just wanna blog the 2nd thing about me...which is i have a FETISH for orderliness and cleaniness...haha...exaggerated?maybe..maybe not? i cannot stand people who is untidy....i mean...it will somehow be an eyesore for me lar...i like things in an orderly manner...整整齐齐的..and yes clean....well..the least is visiblly clean...example..long nails? be sure that is not black sia..cause i find it very 恶心...probably this trait is more of an environmental one..yes my upbringing....

Was watching 不能说的秘密 on tv just now...很惭愧的说，我没看过这部电影!!(快昏倒了吧?)总的来说，这部电影给我的感觉还不错(可能是女主角好看啦。。哈哈。。)我不太喜欢周杰伦，因为他唱歌有点口齿不清，但我还是满欣赏他作曲的才华。。这部戏应有获得电影soundtrack 的大奖吧。。。总的来说，我是超级OUTDATED 的 lor。。2007 的电影，现在才看。
(超逊指数: 5 颗星)

Sat was good..went for csc (community service club) volunteer..had this real late mid autumn festival celevration with the elderly...was really enjoyable..our voulunteers and elderly were realli very sporting...and i truely enjoy it... then have the workshop for freshie after the celebration and by the time...it was already 4 liao..wah..thanks.. my day gone already haha..

Thursday and Friday wasnt realli feeling good..maybe due to the lack to sleep and hot, humid weather too..so have to ps my friend on friday...was quite bad lar...cause..promise to help but then..haiz...after which choose to stay home for the day...(tho i agree to go down to some latin festival with my dancemate later on friday night)..was a wise one man..if not sat sure die liao...

*So freaking sian...argh!!injured my ankle again...damn cuiz..both my ankles cmi already lar....haiz..luckily this time is not very serious...but know its a rather bad sprain still tho...then went to see sinseh..omg..freaking lots of people...then the sinseh was like..'u very familar oh, ur ankle hao liao har' i was like..erm ya...today is the other ankle..haha..then he crap thru the whole session..not very long lar...but then he was like just relax and senseless chat..then he ended off with like ' yi hou bu yao da qiu le (dont play in future)' i was like stunned? cause he was chitchatting before that then the tone was like relax..suddenly say this in the same tone as previous sentence..i was like..'does he really mean it?' or wat?..Haha...like..'he serious not? my ankle so jialat meh (cause i injure it once before...) wah lau...also my bad lar..din clarify with him..haah...*faint*

Anyway...fell in love with bachata and a song..think called 'ventu'..cause i m learning bachata..and this song keeps playing n playing..and quite like the song..and everytime when i hear this song..then will trigger the bachata stuff lar...which i like..but...its so hard to learn then salsa....omg...and now with my injure ankle..i have to skip my dance lessons again..haiz...like 'dou xue bu hao le still cant make it for the lesson'....

But here are two clips that show hows bachata looks like...it supposed to be a sensual dance lar..but then the two here not very sensual tho..i find the first one too exaggerated the movement..the hip like can hip until chest level like that..and the second..decent tho ..but want i wanted to emphasize is the background music which i mentioned just now... =)enjoy

好想回到最初。。。

What a turbulent week!! Thinks its abit 夸张la but then..haiz...i think grumpy would be a more appropriate word i guess...

Hasnt been playing bball for weeks, kind of like dying to play soon..if not 全身like very lethagic that kind..But i guess its not just bball bah..sch work especially readings and project are haunting me subconsciously...Especially the marketing project..wenesday presentation and now i haven see the essay!! so shitty lar...haiz...and cause its assigned by the tutor...i more dulan!...here's my reasoning i guess : if we were to choose ourselves, i would not choose some of my current group members based on first impression which basically are the feel and appearance of them i guess....and now..i kanna this sucky group...the dissonance i m facing its even bigger!..think self fulfilling prophecy will be next...think my presentation on wednesday is gonna be cuiz...i think will turn out cuiz lor..haiz..

next is the readings...now i have a specific phoba - bibliophobia... i see the textbook i feel nausa sia...especially developmental and abnormal psy...i read two pages..totally give up....haiz...kind of implicitly deter it....

and my research paper..totally no idea how m i gonna start it...and keep procrastinating....shit..

But all on the brighter side...exercise seems to help tho..but i m really lazy to engage in it...

trying to ask my friends to make a jersey together ..abit cok lar but then...i dont koe...wanna 圆梦 actually wanna win a competition with my friends now still relatively young lar...still can run..if not uncle liao...how to??actually was kind doing the things i like and wanna do..cause scared next time work le..no time!

Actually this blog is becoming a vector to voice out all my depressive tots sia...sian..nv go out..become 宅男 already....

kiss goodbye...(to my mid term break of course!)

2009-09-27T23:42:00.004+08:00

I dont knoe why...the mid term break seems to pass slower than i expected...maybe..too much time to slack thats y time passes even more slowly...first four days were fast..cause was doing my assignments..but then..from friday onwards jiu...do what i do best lor...

Wanting to sing k ..but in the end..no vacancy..so..haiz...then tot of playing bball in the morning but friends say wanna study for mid term..so..din play...in the evening went down to play..hoping to find some pp to play with..but then all kids with slippers..buay tahan..i hate people wearing slippers to play bballl...like...i dont koe..not prepared or not serious in playing like that...

so sick of reading my abnormal...so freaking thick...read one chapter...forget the previous one that i read before...retrograde interference lor.....like that mid term cham liao lor....so many stuff to remember...

losing steam for my keyboard lessons...haiz..feeling lazy to find new songs and figure out how to play...then. in class..not learning new songs liao.....as for my dance...tho its fun..but it is stressing me out too...so many moves to remember...wah lau...like just into 15min of the lessons..i m sweating like siao due to stress man....

sat went for volunteering...was pretty good i guess..new elderly and kind of new grouping..so get to koe new people as well...then dinner went to dine at saiyerzia - spelling is incorrect but along that line... its a italian restuarant (kind of)at liang court...price is reasonable...BUT..its not nice at all..well its edible lar..just that..the name of dish and the photos werent tally with the actual thing it served...my slices of smoked salmon (shown in the menu) turns out to be bits of salmon...too puny to even taste its salmon or like any other mushroom bits or watever...so i dont recommend to go there and it...

okie..got to get my gearbox and start doing all my work for the next half of the sem!!

A year OLDer...

2009-09-20T22:17:00.005+08:00

Finally a breather....Two weeks ago was horrrrrrendous!! practically..wake up go sch..then at night go for dance/ keyboard / run / activities...reach home ard 11...bath sleep...next day routine the same...

Last week was pretty much better...tho 'procrastinated' assignments are still waiting for me...

22 years of age already...graduating in two more years?..working??...omg...cant imagine myself doin that...Had a birthday celebration with my JC pals on friday...most of the girls have graduated and working or like waiting to start work and some still enjoying life...TIME FLIES...

Occassionally i would also think about what i'm gonna do in future....gosh...I m realli very 'nua'...hope to do smth that is related to psychology but then...needs Master degree...no money now, grades average, when u think of it...totally sian diaoz....But anyway see the results for this sem first!

Studies and grumbles aside....Enjoyed my dance last saturday.. at least better thatn the first lesson which i totally stressed out...haha acute stress disorder for the past week liao...at least the instructor pinpointed less of my mistakes..dont feel so discouraged...Keyboard was fine too i guess...tho still quite mediocre....

Went out with my bball clique in the afternoon for a birthday lunch...quite stardard lar..like if our birthdays are coming we would go out and eat....tho i see them like practically every sunday for bball but then...feel realli good to hang out with them...

Practically..thats nothing much exciting to talk about i guess...Haha...everything's kind of routine to me.....- thanks for all the well wishes!-

3 weeks...

2009-08-31T00:49:00.009+08:00

Shag....

Been sleeping late and waking up relatively early for the past few weeks...Haiz..now not giving tution...tot i have more time to hit the books..but in the end!!!I m out and playing games more than i study!!jialat....

Okie..A reading a day..well..still kind of struggling lar...hope to maintain..but every reading..i just briefly read thru...din really like seriously 的去 pay much attention or remember that kind..haha...ya..really briefly read thru...then today read thru...after a few days..forget what i read le...haiz..my memory storage is really cuiz...

Speaking of that...today had my keyboard lesson..omg..spent like 45min just playing 2 bars and i still cant coordinate or get the tempo right....the more that i played (on the spot) the more errors i made...haha..easily stressed....first time everything is fine but when my instructor asked me to loop the same bars again..wah...totally cannot liao...haha...fingerings and coordination goes hay wire again...

3 weeks of school has passed tho...well...seems that tho i m not tied down to my tution anymore...i m like engagin in like lots of activities...like...time isnt sufficient like that lar.. at times..runs n exercises, keyboard lessons twice a week now, salsa once a week and upcoming new dance bachata, fortnightly csc involvement, weekly basketball....wah....充实了许多but...口袋也破了满多也是。。now i m a 穷光蛋...really spent like lots of money this month..especially on food sia.. k die....now lect theatre right next to canteen..wah every break..'mai tu liao' go buy food to eat...then meet up with friends etc....woah...tho wat i m spending is wat i earned in the states but then..still feel the pinch lar...y??cause now no income lor...

Haiz..better seriously start studying or watever le...or at least do the right things at the right time..or simply...better time management..

New term

2009-08-17T00:06:00.003+08:00

Ichiban Sushi for two consecutive days..omg..k really kill...both price and food i mean. the food is good..but i wished i have a different cusine today...

New term has started. When i look at my blog entries..gosh...its likenot updated..Well dont know why..everytime i tried to log in, there is some javascript error, and i couldnt blog at all. Not only that, when i go into facebook, same thing happens...Gosh..dont know whats happening to my com and my internet connection...Anyway, since now i hardly update it..maybe its high time to call it an end.......

Its been three weeks since i came back from the states. Things changed a litttle i guess. My appetite seems to be smaller now...in the past a packet of noodles and like a packet of fried carrot is no kick for me but now...cant do it anymore..More into exercising now, run more regularly altho not for very long each time...swims getting more and more since i m getting sick of going gym..haha i m too pure lazy also...Now not giving tution, have more time for myself and of course for the books i guess in near future..so i had a good relaxing weekend this week!..met up with friends for dinner, movies etc...But the downside would be no more income! have to rely on my mum for pocket money nxt mth lo...

Catch up with my keyboard lessons.Gosh..getting tougher and tougher but at least its steps closer to playing it well...Stopped my vball recrea and went to refresh my salsa instead. Omg..i realy forgot all the steps and stuff le...come to think of it time flies. Learnt in like a year ago and now..haha..back to the basics...totally forgotten it..Since now i have relatively more time on hand, was thinking of joining a cca without much commitment cause wanna TRY to concentrate more on my studies this time...so thats y i gave up tution..haha maybe go join volunteering work to earn some good karmas?

Watch the movie UP quite some time back with friend. i think its really enjoyable and worth it. Just finished the movie Management by Jennier Aniston. The movie was quite allright to me, meaningful but the movie's tempo was kind of slow so guess you have to bear with it. Its not a like romantic comedy but rather something more realistic yet and some point of time its like maybe it wont really happen in reality that kind....so kind of in between i guess...but i think the director did quite all right in that bah...

Haha...beside gg to sch, back home working out, practice keyboard and maybe study alittle...and dramas of course..haha.play bball on sundays morning..guess this is my routine lor...haiz...

Something's missing....

2009-08-02T01:20:00.014+08:00

Been back to Singapore from the States for a week already. 终觉得少了点什么。The first day when i reached, it feels so different. 人不同了，环境也不同了。我的老家似乎也不同了。'Did something changed when i was gone?' 'Nope, nothing has changed.' Walked around my neighbourhood the second day. 还真得有点不习惯。Gone was the 'Good mornings' and 'How are you doing?' Instead was greeted by nonchalent faces. Malays, Indians, you hardly see them in the States, they all looked so different to me even till now. Ah lians, bengs seem to be a local identity now. Everything feel so weird.

在美国时，我很少，可说似乎没有想家。令我怀念的任是新加坡的美食。I am quite sick of bacon, eggs, and rosti(they called it hashbrown) for breakfast everyday. Moreover, salads and fruitless meals. 'Where's all my fried vegetables and fruits?' 撇开食物不谈，令我很少想家的是在美国那结交的朋友，那温情的友谊。每天忙于工作，下班后打球，慢跑，和朋友聊天，时间飞逝。生活平凡，却很充实。I thought I could never survive without TV for 2 months or even telephone, but I did. Of course, internet must be accesible for me, if not i would turn into a caveman, literally.还记得我们抵达的第一天，冷得半死。When i got into an little argument with Jerry, a kind lady, Lane (who eventually gave us each a little printed painting of hers when we left)offered a helping hand. Susan, our next door neighbour, and her constant, same old complains of her never busy days, cracked jokes that filled the dining room. 阿 ‘侠’ 哥，蓝天，‘大姐大’的‘酸’来‘酸’去，BOSS: 'How long more Ken?',Glaizsa: 'Kenzok!', 'Kuapo': 'Zi Gei Guitar, Zi Gei Dongdong', Mike: 'Yoz, whats up man?' on and on...真的，回到这里，似乎少了这些温情。

As my job is soon up, new people came, from Taiwan, Russia, Turkey. A once rather quiet or say Filipino filled laundry room turned into a bustling place filled with Chinese, Turkish, which i often seeked to stay away.太吵了啦!终于要走时，farewell party was great. From housekeeping, to Kitchen , Front desk, everyone was there. Atmosphere was great.

All this was not possible if my friend, Eve did not ask me to join her. A good companion, who tolerated all my nonsenses, who often brought me supper, whom I waited every night for her (cause I worked morning shift, she worked in the aftn/night shift, so we hardly have a chance to chat) until i fell asleep, and the funny thing was, she wakes up earlier than me everyday!

做工，赚钱，旅游，花钱，感觉实在好。新的事物，新的环境，新的朋友，全新的体验。If I have a chance, I would return. Work in other places in the States? (Worry that things are different. People changed, job is tougher and so on..) Work at the same place? (I don't mind actually, just have to deal with being stucked there without much entertainment again for months.)好了，罗哩罗嗦够了，新的学期又要开始，嗨。。烦恼啊!

LosAngeles

2009-07-29T00:43:00.007+08:00

(pictures: All taken at Universal Studio. House of horror - scared the hell out of me!!!..haha but fun!!! and how WET you might get!...Desperate Housewife setting...War of the World setting...and WATERWORLD show! - SPectcular..A must watch!!!and must get wet!)

Day1 - Jiamei's uncle came down to SanDiego and drove us to LA. After that, we just slack the whole day, swimming in his pool and immerse in his jaccuzzi cause her uncle was pretty tired after the drive and we din dare to ask him to drive us ard LA. Well i guess its a break for us too...Her uncle brought us to asian restaurants mostly hong kong style. Meals were really good.

Day 2 - UNiversal Studio! It was so awesome! Great rides, great shows, and atmosphere was great!And prepared to get WET!!Haha..its fun for the weak hearted like me lar..dare not go for like upside down or high rollercoasters ride and stuff....In the end we spent the whole day there from 11 till 7 plus. Its definitely worth every cent spent there (well the admission is like 60 bucks usd).

Day3 - Went to Camarillo factory outlets. Drove my friend, Grace's friends to six flags (all the exciting and overhead rollercoaster rides) first before heading to the factory outlets. Freaking long drive...sit until my buttocks ache...well...Got myself a watch, belt and shirt. Tho the branded goods are relatively cheaper than in sgp, but i m still reluctant to spend on it..WEll to me..you spent so much money just for the brand itself and the shirt is like plain...well..maybe i'm not those pp who goes for brands bah..so..yup....But still you can get good bargains still! Haiz..i regret getting just one watch..shd have bought another!!!In the end, we spent half a day there and like went back to pick her friends up and then head back home....A shopping day!! ( Had breakfast at Dennys. Cheap and good! MUst try!!)

Day 4 - Last day in United states. WEnt to West Hollywood to get Jm's brother stuff from marc jacob. Then we head down to wells fargo to close our account. Well we planned to walk the Walk of fame at Hollywood Blvd. In the end, something went wrong when we close our acct at the bank so in the end..Eve and I spent the rest of the aftn in downtown searching for a cash cheque shop but couldnt find it...haiz..the sickening part is...there is like no where to park for free just for a short while in the States lar!!damn hard to find....-_-!!wells thats end our travel in LA and also my whole summer holidays and the work and travel......(to be continued...)

SanDiego

2009-07-18T12:02:00.019+08:00

(pictures; SanDiego zoo, giraffes, Sea World, Shamu show, the bay (peeking upskirt tho), midway USS maritme museum, old town, and your AH GONG's root beer!)

Accomodation- USA hostel on 5th Ave. I think the hostel is quite all right. Looks rather newer than the one that i stayed in San Francisco. At least i dont have to drag my luggage a mile from the bus stop!..The location is great. Right in the middle of downtown. Nightlife is good. With all the restaurants and pubs right at your doorstep. Nothing could be better.

Day1- Arrived around 4pm. Was pretty hot tho its like 25 deg C...(jialat..wheni go back to i wiill sure die..cannot stand the hot weather...). Then we went to the nearby shoopping areas like the Westfield Horton PLaza as my friend eve desperating want to buy some clothes...Welll again, she cant find the size for her...in the end..i bought a levis jeans for 20usd at urban outfitters....so in the end we just spent walking the streets and head back to the hostel.

Day2- Started our day by heading to the well known San Diego Zoo. Well...i always tot that Mandai Zoo in SIngapore is not very attractive..KInd of small..but after i tour the Zoo..actually..Mandai Zoo is comparable to it..in fact the zoo back home can considered to be one of the best...Kind of the wow factor is not there when i toured the San diego ZOo...most of the animals showcased here is the same back home..except that they have bigger roaming areas..Nonetheless its kind of an experience. Then we headed down to Balboa Park next to the Zoo. IF you are a museum and arts lover, the spanish village and the museums in the park will attract you i guess..welll the museums is also super X..lar..13 usd..kaoz...Then we headed to Uptown in Hillcrest in after lunch...hoping to go to uptown plaza to shop..In the end..its not a shopping center..but just a like plaza to get your grocery and stuff...Disappointing!!! We headed back to downtown and walked the bay. Actually, i quite like the bay area cause its not so crowded compared to fisherman wharf..BUT the scenery of San Francisco is nicer to me..so if i can have the leisure of walking in an uncrowded st on a clear day, with the scenic views of San Francisco bay...wah..that would be awesome....Then we headed to LIttle Italy which is kind of next to the bay..well..nth much there..just Italian pubs, cafe and restuarants...

Day3- Went to the SEA WORLD..ITs awesome..so much better than the san diego zoo..(i think you can skip the zoo) and spent the money at the sea world instead. ITs super x la..65 usd for admission but we got ours at hostel so its like 57 bucks..SPent like 3/4 of the day there...Went for most of the rides and the Journey to Altantis is the nicest lar..the rest are much for the kids..not much of a thrill...but still is way better than the zoo...Enjoy the show by the killer whale very much...well they called it SHAMU..prepared to get wet!!!..dun wear shoes if not you will be walking with wet shoes the whole day!..After which we went to Old Town.. Its kind of an old mexican town..lots of tourists...took a gentle stroll down the town....paid 6 bucks to enter this museum called Whaley. Well is so called the haunted house....but guess we went it like ard evening when its still bright..so...there is no 'lin li shi jian'..Its really a SMALL house...but if you go to old town at night..maybe you might wanna go and see if you spot a ghost!..Then off to Fashion Valley! Well..its a big shopping center apart from downtown San Diego. So if you finding a place to shop...its the place then...=)...

That concludes the short trip in SanDiego..well..there are lots of other places that i have not been to tho..one is the USS MIdway martime musuem located at the bay...its a fleet carrier with all the planes parked on top of it...Looks so cool on the outside!!...and i think its a lifetime experience to get on board and see what's inside an sea carrier..and take a picture in the plane..(i dont know whether navy open house let you get on board a ship or not....)

San Francisco

2009-07-14T13:05:00.022+08:00

(Pitcures: Crissy beach towards Golden Gate bridge; slope outside my hostel facing downtown; pic of alcatraz taken from bottom of Coit Tower; Hon's noodles; alcatraz's cell; fisherman wharf; Chinatown; Lombard st; Japantown; Union Square; street artist)

Accomodation - Green Tortoise hostel at broadway. Its kind of far away from the Bart station, had to drag our bags like 1 mile to it..and uphill -_-!! the room is not really fantastic, kind of small, and the toliet is real squeezy...kind of regret choosing the place tho..but nonethless.. the place is still accpetable for me lar..Location is quite good (except the part is far away from the Bart station), its located near Chinatown, and fisherman warf and right in front of our doorsteps ar porn video store, and those nude dancing clubs...sounds cool??haha

Day 1, Saturday - Reach hostel ard 11 plus and decided walk ard the fisherman wharf before our ferry to alcatraz. spent our time 'googleing' the streets and came across the Coit Tower which is able to see across the bay area. Decided to save the 5 bucks up the tower, we did not go up in the end. COntinue our way down to Pier 39. It was bustling!!Probably is saturday. The atmosphere is really good. Time flies and we went for alcatraz at Pier33. Bought tickets online a week before our date as its really hot!!!Alcatraz island was quite nice actually. Tickets we bought comes with an audio tour which narrates the history of it as we walk through the cell house. Take a jacket with you! its gets really cold and windy on the way to and on the island....If you feel rich, you might wanna buy the night tour of alcatraz...maybe it will give you creeps on the island at night!

Food- Had my first wan tun mee in america! Its called the Hons noodles house or something located along Kreany st. Wells its resaonable i guess.. 4 bucks per bowl not including tax. Hong Kong style (well Chinese here mainly speaks cantonese). Dinner was subway- budget man.

Day 2, Sunday - Went to Lombard st to view a scenic driveway. Its beautiful (and those people staying there must be filthy rich bah...) view from there down the city and bay area is magnificent too. Then we track down to a bike shop called Bike and roll. We got our bikes at the shop ar Colomobus st. Well, it might be best to get it near the warf as there are many other bike rental shops and its closer to golden gate bah...Nonetheless there is discounted price for us cause we stay in the hostel..As we cycle to Golden Gate bridge, we pass by lots of places along the bay like the Fort Mason. we din go in tho cause its like not really attractive from the outside. Then we cycle along Cissy Beach towards Fort Point. Went in and took a quick look (its free la...) and then off and on our way to the Golden Gate bridge. Its really like lifetime experience to cycle thru it man. By the time we get to the other end, i m already dead beat and hungry lor...Decided not to cycle Sausilto. Instead head back to find food. Haiz..the bad thing is..its hard to find a decent eating place ( i meant like fast food burger kind and stuff) along the way!! We cycle back to the fisherman warfs area (anchorage point) to have subway. My legs are super tired by then...After lunch is already like 2 plus i think. We wanted to cycle to Golden Gate Park. Determined and not beaten by fatigue, we cycle back in the direction to the Golden Gate. And we stopped by this Greek designed place called the Exploratium with a big dome like structure along the way to Crissy beach. Its quite nice actually. But we just walked the grounds as the admission was kind of Xpensive also....Then cycle for another mile and finally i took out my white undies and called it a day. Decided to head back and give up cycling to Golden Gate park. We return our bikes and went to walk around Chinatown. Finally after some luck we saw the iconic 'gate' of Chinatown. To me its really nth much tho..but wells..the largest Chinatown in the US???Then as we continue to search for our budget meals we came across this eat all you can buffet!!(its hard to find man, cause its a tourist attraction here and its full of restaurant and we wanna scrimp the price and tips etc). the 5.99 dim sum buffet add up to like 6.60 a person but the food sucks lar...its located at jackson st if i m not wrong... Totally cannot make it..but to stuff yourself full after a whole day of workout...its worth it bah...for me..but not for my partner tho...

Day3, Monday - Went to Golden Gate Park in the morning. Well, we did pick the wrong day (Monday) to go there as the Deyoung Museum and the Conservatory of Flowers located in the park are closed on Monday. The other attraction is the some place for the sciences and stuff with aquarium. But the admission is way too expensive. So we decided to got the Japanese tea garden instead. But thinking that thats probably nothing inside, we give it a miss as we wanna save the $5 dollars entrance fee. Then we walked like half a mile under the sun to catch a bus down to Japantown. Thinking that it would be somewhat like Chinatown, haiz...expectation is way off man. there is only a little mall and it termed the whole area as Japantown..Totally sian diaoz..BUt then, we went to have our first ramen in American, decided to spent abit, its ard 11bucks per person, But the food and portion is definitely worth the price. I forgot whats the name of the place but its in the centre mall (there is like 3 interlinked). After which we head to back to Union Square near downtown. Spent the rest of the aftn shopping. Well since the outlet mall is like so out of town and i dun want to rent a car, we decided to shop in the town area. Wells, nothing is really cheap in this area. but i did manage to get a couple of tee for ard 12- 17 USD. Tons of shops here like the Westfield shopping mall, and stores like Macys and stuff. But ya..like i say its no cheaper than in singapore.

-Well my friend here say she cant get clothes here cause she is too petite(well either is really the case or the types of clothes she choose is like not very popular..haha..kidding..) but females hu are very thin might have difficulties finding clothes here....

As for dinner - we went to the foodcourt locateed at the basement of Westfield mall, had a like 8 dollars usd de chap cai rice under some korean bbq and noodles or something....well its really nice but just abit x lar..

Day4, Tuesday- started our day again, and tried to find more shopping places apart downtown and union square. Went to try Polk street but cant find the mall. In the end we head down to City Hall. Nothing much except that there is a museum there. Didnt go it cause my friend is not interested. City hall is also pretty much the same like in singapore. nth much to see. Then we head down to EmBarcedo Shopping Mall by bart. Thinking that we could shop, haiz...nth much there also..can give it a miss.........Then we head back to Union as my friend is desperating trying to find some clothes and spent her money on..but then....same thing..din find anything to her liking tho..(she's picky)Haha.... Then head to Fisherman wharf and visited the National Maritime Museum for free. Then we walk the streets of the bay again. I really like the bay view of San Francisco..Its freaking nice for me...i could sit at the bay..just watch the seas and the golden gate with alcatraz let time pass by.......

Food - Nothing much had burger king for lunch and Chowders, a fastfood place at Pier 39. My worst meal in America..the seafood platter was so so bad...Never go and eat it!!!

Day5, Wednesday - Wanted to go Angel's Island but as we walked down for breakfast, we saw that the Acadamy of Science at Golden Gate Park (Day3 i mention that there is some science stuff that the admisssion was like 20 bucks usd) has free admission!! I think its has free admission on Wednesday or something. So again, we went to Golden Gate Park and wanted to go the sciences place. But its hell lots of people when we reached like 9 plus?? and altho its like 10-5pm, they started letting people in by the time we reach there...really the queue was long...in the end my friend chose not to queue (well for me..i dont mind to queue to go in cause i think the line is like moving lar..not stagnant for long time.) So bottomline, we didnt go in. Then, saw the Deyoung Museum. Its 10 dollars (adult)entry (think if you have those student card u might can the admission at a student price) but if you take bus there, keep the bus ticket, you can get two dollars off the admission price. Guess the theme of the exhibit doesnt interest my friend tho, so again much that i would like to go but in the end didnt go. But at least we went to the tower of the museum which its free. Then she wanted to go to the conservatory of flowers (caused its closed the other time on monday), and yup, to me...its nothing much there, just a small greenhouse kind of not worth it lar..but i guess since its like for travel, just go ard sightseeing, you never know it might be fun or something.=) Then. we head down to Haight st. It just next to the golden gate park. Its kind of like Haji Lane in singapore? with lots of boutiques shops lar..OF course, the price is more expensive lor. My friend likes boutiques as she would want to be different in a way like you wun find it so easily on the street that kind of stuff...

Then we headed back to our hostel to get her painting (she did a painting on the streets and wanted to go back to the artist's signature the other day). Then we head back to the wharf where she had her face painted but we failed to find the artist..Well i think she's kind of disappointed but hopefully she gets over it lar....

Food - Well, we had sandwiches at Katie's Kitchen along Lower Haight st. Its was pretty norm. Price is reasonable. As for dinner later???Hmmm..no idea yet..but there is this House of Nanking which is located on Kreany st, near our hostel, it is like there is always people queing for it..hopefully i have a chance to eat there later!!

Well, today was kind of rough for me. Had a tiff with my friend early this morning and it sort of ruins the whole day, well at least the mood lar, for me. Haiz..to me if you are on vacation, we should like enjoy every day or not like dampen any mood and stuff la...So now kind of feeling abit sian lor....

-- In the end we went to the shop beside House of Nanking. Think is like Chef Jia restaurant or something. The food is good but its way too salty..Haiz..dont know why but think it kind of suit the taste of americans or something....--

Fun FUn FUN!!(backdated)

2009-07-13T12:23:00.005+08:00

Have great fun as i spent my last two days at custer. Stopped work last wednesday and have my days off on thurs and friday before flying to san francisco on saturday.

Wanted to rent a car but it was too freaking X here. Haiz..went all the trouble to get the license here and found out that i need to buy the auto insurance to drive a car here...which is so freaking Xpensive....Went round asking people to help me to rent in their name to siam the money for the insurance but of course lar..hu wanna do it?...wat if *touch wood* smth happen to the car?

Luckily, we did manage to get a car (using the company's car), with the help of american friend mike. (aiya American talk to American boss sure okie one lor...if i wanna borrow company's car...where can de..)

And we have tons of fun..visited the rushmore caves, old macdonald farm - aiya..bian xiao hai zi only one, bear counrty - see bears in a drive thru, reptile garden - dont koe y an eagle is kept there..and lastly rushmore mall.

Mt Rushmore Fireworks??Where the hell?

2009-07-05T09:23:00.005+08:00

Down to my last four working days here in custer state park. Enjoyed my stay and work here. Get to know lots of friends, slog like siao, have tonnes of lame jokes, supper and laughters.

Supposedly there is fireworks at mount rushmore ( the faces of the 4 US president) yesterday. But the weather was so foggy that we cant see a single shit..just saw shades of red, blue, purple and green. Nonetheless, during the 2hr wait for the 'fireworks', camwhores and flashes went round and we like having our mini party there.......

Was really cold these days!...4 degree cel the other day!..today was raining hailstorm and fog was like really heavy and down to like 2 storeys that low...Creeps when i walked in the thick fog along the trail. You never know there might be a mountain lion looking at you over the rock in the fog!

Had my jeep ride ytd...nobody tell me it would be so cold!!!!cuiz lar..haiz...kind of my own fault also..haiz..dun koe what i was thinking that moment..berms and a long sleeve shirt only?..i was shivering the whole 4 hour journey!!!!oh god....lucky quickly come back rest..if not fall sick can die le...

Just now, kind of work OT coz the customers werent pleased that we din not clean up his cabin. Well think is like our leader's fault today. Cause went in the early morning then they hanged Do Not Disturb (DND). when we forget all about it in the aftn. so just now like my boss and sup went back le..then left me and other two eating at the dining room, the front desk people came to like look for us...haha..so value the chance to drive the van to help clean up...if not..hardly drive..actually..can drivce but then...haha...chen lao ban off de shi hou drive....

2009-06-01T10:21:00.016+08:00

Wanna gather all the pics before i blog this post..but then it seems so difficult to get the pics from all the rest of the people!

Had my off last friday. Went to hike a trail called lovers leap...Actually is like climbing more than hiking tho..was so damn tired totally cuiz man..my knee was like aching lar...the view downwards wasnt really fantastic but then the mountains across, the air was so fresh, its realli feels so good sitting up there.

Then came back to the lodge where i work to use the internet to plan my tour after this work stint. Hopefully we can book the tickets by end of the week and stuff. Wah the swine flu thingy was kind of like getting abit serious in spore and i was like shit man...tho i m not going new york but then california is another place where is like quite a number of cases as well...whenever i think of it totally sian diaoz.

Then we went mount rushmore! with the courtesy of my boss and other who drove us there! 20miles from the place we worked....wah...petrol is xiong de lor...haha haven realli like pay him for all the trips to city etc.

Finally got the chance to see the four presidents faces up close... Well i dont know..its kind of like slight disappointment also..cause i dont think it was really like magnificent..but then...able to been there and see it, i think its realli a lifetime experience or well at least realli a must see attraction here in south dakota!..Took lots of photos there...Had a fun time! but in the expense of my dinner..tot of like can go town to eat a decent asian meal but boss was heading back dorm so bo bian...came back and cooked instant noodles while my peers in another car went city to eat...

Forgot the number of blog posts about custer.
Weather is turning hot, just like Singapore.
Work is tiring, but tips are the ones that keep me going.
Made new friends, had joy and laughter.
Internet here is pissing me off, cable is badly cripped. Router itself is bad.
Get d/c everytime before i upload all my photos.
Been two weeks le. Everything is fine.
Friday is my pay day. Finally. And its my off day too.
Don't know what's the day and date for the day when i wake up every morning.
It's not important anyway.
Houseflies are becoming more active due to the weather.
Unlike the ones in Singapore, these are really bugging and slow.
Probably if i have the chance, and the people here stays and continue next seasons, I would want to come back again. =)

Today is finally my day off after working like for 8 or 9 days. Decided to check out the nearby resort and we decide to walk instead of like renting a bike which is faster. In the end, we walked 6miles which is like 9.7 km to the next resort. Spent like 2 hours plus walking the winding highway and like gaining in altitude. Wah like in vest slack road march..But the destination is like not fantastic which like...feel abit...wasted kind of feeling. Luckily when we walked back, one of the cook saw us and gave us a lift back. Though back track is going downhill but then..is like another 2 hours walk..going to die lar...

In the end we came back just in time to go to town (cause one lady was telling us in the morning that she was going town in the aftn and asked us whether we wanna go). First time in town. Well, here is such an ulu place, their like downtown 'broadwalk' is like half the length of the orchard road only. Went to the so called Asian market well just a shop selling asian products from korean, china etc. haha saw my milo...but a single packet of instant noodles which cause 1.50 usd...in singapore that money i can like buy 5 packets lar!

Then went wall mart their general store like that..was huge..hard time finding what we need sia...but then came back...so this is how i spent my off day..haiz..hopefully next time i can go to like tourist attraction nearby la....so sian here...

(sneak pics of my dorm..)

Today was a rather relaxing day for me but a hectic day for the kitchen helpers, front desk, servers etc...cause there was a mothers' day buffet lunch at the lodge.

The housekeepers for the day were only me and a Filipino couple. They were really fast with the cleaning of room..which make me stress lar! when i only finish the bathroom and part of the sink, they were like almost done and start to vacuum the floor le! Oh my! i haven fininshed like foild the towels etc and put the stuff back to the place!...But they are really very nice!...Haha..in the end, we slack the day thru...

There was no lunch today...cause of the buffet event, but then dinner was the leftovers of the buffet. Finally the first time i have tasted fish here....normally is like bacon (standard for breakfast), if not meat beef or pork i think..

But What i wanted to say is that..the Asians here (the migrant workers) are really a close knitted family here.. I m really really touched by the care n concern given by them..

I was chatting with my supervisor and her bf (the Filipino couple - Glasier and Edmer)..she like asked whether i got food to eat in the night as like we have our dinner at 430..wat if we get hungry....I replied like...not realli cause i would have a hearty meal lar..wun eat less for diet that kind here...so i dun really feel hungry at night. Then she was really kind enough to offer me some noodles to cook which i decline alr..cause i wasnt really hungry...

Then came my boss and his wife i think..Filipinos. ( Roberto and ...haha i dun koe his wife name....) knocking on our door now bringing us food! and cooking pots!...They said that they heard from Glasier that we havent got any food!...Really really touched when they bought us water, bread, cooking pots, cups and even noodles!

I dont think i will eat them..haha cause for the past few days I don't feel really hungry so din eat anything during the night but was touched by the concern shown. Think i really have to like buck up in my housekeeping sia..if not like let them down like that...

Hmm, got to koe more about them while talking to Edmer and Glasier this aftn, like where they worked before coming here etc, how they like find no jobs back in their own countries, and realli do cleaner, kitchen jobs, sometimes under snobbish bosses..here and even Singapore.Its really not the job i think, like you k sense and hear the tone if one American talks to one of us compared to talking to a partime American house keeper, really is different....

of course some are good too. There is this partime house keeper lady that helped us alot today by driving us around to the cabins and really did up all the laundry for us...if not for her..haha the three of us wun have time to slack!...

CusterPark3

2009-05-09T10:15:00.004+08:00

Two days as housekeeper were tiring. Especially the first day. Follow the manager to all the cabins (they are like far apart, so drive is necessary). Wah i think we covered like at least 20 log cabins, with 4 check out and few stay-over (tidy up). But my manager did most of the cleaning and stuff. He is really very 'zai' in it lar..Well he worked here for 9 years le.

(on the right is the so called cabin i m refering to)

Today was much better. Only three check outs and 2 stay over. so pretty relax. (and we check all the cabins the day before). Plus today got another experienced housekeeper with us. Wah he is very meticulous i would say. He really wipe and clean things thoroughly etc. Went to this laundry room to clean up..omg..all the insects and spiderweb, I like try to 'gein' by not squatting and go underneath to clean all the webs haha..but in the end saw the experienced guy who did it, haiz bo bian have to do it also (my boss, manager like very serious and like pms today, must be me lar..haha think i very not up to his grade leh...they are fast..which make me more stress lor..)

Then we headed down to a chapel that was locked. wah...-_-!! inside is full of dead houseflies. really very bad..worse than the laundry room. Took the whole squad, which is like 8 people at the most? (cabin cleaners and resort cleaners to clean up the place and its still nt very clean in the sense lar..but compared to the housefly invested.realli imagine the window, benches, floor all with flies..cannot siam one by not stepping on it..no clean area for you to step on... but okie lar..at least wun kanna spider webs in the face.

(on the right is the resort/room like where our hq is lar..where the supplies are. So we will pack everything we need and put it into a van and drive to the cabins around the place which is wat i do with my manager. Other housekeepers will stay here n tidy up the rooms, without any need to move around)

Those doing all the housecleaning, kitchen helpers, servers are all mirgrants workers, from philippines, indonesia, etc....so thehouse keeping squad is yup from philippines. And they are really very nice and friendly; on the other hand some Americans really think they are the bosses that kind...i meant...realli lar..u can feel the discrimination still lar...BUT not all of the whites are like that! some are realli friendly and nice..like a lady just now..she overheard that i needed coins for washing my laundry and offered to me. haha..but then again..there are really irritating people....

Anyway..my job is hands on, dirty, shit job that kind. Well if you were to say wat can i learn from it..well...maybe i will start a cleaning service? no lar..but then..an experience to see how an organisation works, and of course the interpersonal rls and a clearer picture of the migrant workers and discrimination and stuff and how cocky some Americans could be.....

Custer Park part2

2009-05-07T02:32:00.002+08:00

Chose not to start work immediately. Dorm was pretty all right bah. Not dilapidated but then..not that superb either. spent the night cleaning up our dorm. And rs. there is really no toilet paper! haha..must go buy later.People are friendly around here. Probably they find it hard to listen to our accent. Ask them A, they answered you B, unless you repeat what u said SLOWLY. and no one knows where Singapore is....

Here is realli like outfield. like Australia where i had my exercise back in army. forest everywhere and realli no entertainment or wat so ever. Town is like an hour drive away. and really have to depend on the people there to ferry you to town if you need to buy stuff.
The router here sucks. always unstable. but better than nothing i guess.

Food here is ya...nothing fantastic.. three dishes normally. morning: bacon egg and pancakes. aftn: minced beef, mashed potato and veggie. Tot that like at least there are some instructions for us to follow. Well thats none. Its like do as you deem fit that kind. buffaloes are just like nesting outside our dorms..Wow..they are really huge man..

Okie. i think i will treat it like two months of army outfield then...haha..at least..been thru that before. Gonna start work as house keeper tomorrow.shd be fine i guess..

Okie..time to go..my partner wanna go jogging -_-!!later we run past the workplace they will be like..wat the hell are the two people doing...haha...okie better run back to my dorm liao..the bulls are grazing at the porch!

Singapore - Seattle was pretty much better. But was freaking long....and there was this Chinese guy who was not feeling well and vomitted(into a bag).. Cabin crew has no one who is able to communicate with him...and yup...think i m the like 'suay' one..was asked if I know how to speak..Subconsicously i was like..pls..dun kanna any virus from him when i was translating stuff to him....Encountered lots of Asian American at the custom at seattle..wow i m impressed by an American immigration officer who speaks Japanese fluently. Ups man...

Seattle Int airport is like some domestic airport....realli...kind of like some metro or subway station like that..haha...have to switch so many shuttle train to the departure hall.. Finally reached denver int airport. Denver's airport is so much better. Had pizza for lunch..was realli good...but X sia... ard 15 plus sing dollars for a regular size pizza....

Okay..will upload rest of the photos onto facebook and blog soon...batt is running low now..

天冷就回来

2009-05-03T21:39:00.004+08:00

Tomorrow, the last exam for this sem. The day after tomorrow, off to the states.

Went to watch 天冷 the musical on sat at the drama centre at NLB. I think it started off well but after the interval, things kind of bore me. Nonetheless, I think its quite an 'all right' production for me. Nothing really 'wow' me; nothing was bad either.

Kind of mentally 'sick' of my parents' naggings. Just seems like unnecessary 'stress' for me. Sigh. I think i would eventually fall sick due to their naggings (self fulfilling prophecy?), I hope not. Cant really physically fall sick at this time. Sighs. By just thinking of it makes me feel more tired.

Had a chat with my army pals on sat as well. Really lighten up my mood much. Back home, chatted again with a close friend of mine. Felt much relaxed. Too relaxed. Haha, in the end, today, now as i blog, I kind of feel that I am not confident or the least prepared for my test tomorrow. Just see how it goes.

Good Game

2009-05-02T00:28:00.002+08:00

Had a good bball game just now...wah...realli...have to admit old already...strained my back alittle again..haiz..lao le....compare with those sec/poly students...they are realli on steroids that kind...compared with the pri sch kids..oh my..they played better than when i was in sec 2 lar...but kind of true as well(talking to my friend)..bball is like nt a 'hot fav' sport right now...compared to like soccer or tabletennis or badminton i guess...welll bball now is like those ah beng ah seng..wear slippers and play...totally disgusted lar...

Swine flu outbreak quite worries me tho...haiz...friends, news, parents, all like keep feeding info to me...sometimes i like quite easily swayed as well haha..but then..now is like...'pls dont say any further that kind' i will take extra extra extra precaution....

Going to have my last paper on monday then off on tues...haiz..totally holiday mood liao...not seriously studying for it...been watching xmen cartoon (my childhood time one) on youtube and yesman dvd...Yesman was quite all right...haha..maybe i shd start to say 'yes' to things..and realli experience new stuffs rather than stick ard in my own little comfort zone...

Was kind of 'emo' i guess ytd...haha think i slack too much by not studying and like nth on my mind and then go think of all the past...haha..have to keep myself realli occupied sia..Anyway is just rambling stuff again...haha..but..bear with it lar..will upload/update when i m ovs!

just visited my friend's blog and saw this video..it was shown during our lecture on close relationships...haha..then was like just slides and the prof just keep on clicking...now there is a video with a nice melody! which now attracts more of my attn to the background melody than the content of the video itself...BUT i think it still quite meaningful tho...so do enjoy! (there's a part two to it)

after listening to melody...another song just came across my mind...=)

(dennis, thanks for the missing piece video!)

wanted to blog this a couple of days ago...but then..haha...was pure lazy...well also was busy watching my hk drama 學警狙擊..

was having my social psy lect on friday..and the topic was about attraction and personal relationship mainly... well...we are learning theories about how people are atrracted to one another and how they maintain their rls basically...well so kind of...will link it back to my life and past experience..which is y i quite enjoy social psy..tho result of this mod is otherwise...haha...-_-!!..

well..think is like beoming habitual in a sense lar..now like try to relate wat we learn in social psy to the actions n behavor we see or do in everyday life...sometimes..i feel is like in the past when u donn't koe why u act this way..so after learning the theory and all that stuff..u will then 'orh...interesting! I didnt koe that' that kind

Now after learning the theories..its like...there is no 'wow' factor in it that kind like when u discuss or talk to a friend is like 'Actually u koe..its one of the social theory...that people behave this way..' u know that kind of stuff...like very politcally correct de feel la...like lack of the 'Ya lor, dui hor, wo ye shi zhe yang!' when u like wanna agree with your friend on a like random issue..

haha i dun koe lar..maybe i m the onli hu feel this way among all my psy friends??...

(review on the left side)

On the FIrst Day of Christmas..I'm eating Maggie Mee...

2008-12-25T03:56:00.006+08:00

Well i'm kind of hungry bah..haha maybe i shall cook some maggi mee to eat later...after this lengthy post...
Well been out these two days..quite broke now...haha...
SO on Tues went out with jm to shop..well..she's in the shopping mood...first went to The Central @clarkequay..well..i think shops there r more for females than males bah...and we had lunch there...is a pizza shop located at lvl1...well the pizza realli looks gd...but then..haiz...i think the pizza were just all right onli..realli disappointing...n the service etc..well..i shall nt say anymore...

(red one is the beef pepperoni -well it realli taste like canned sausage to me...and the other is mushroom one.. both are just average to me lar..)

Then went to sim lim to get her camera....before we head down to Haji Lane!

Tho i live there like 14 odd years..i onli been there like few times?haha cause in the past..there realli or arabic kind of shops..selling carpet..lar..weaven basket..but NOW! Haji lane is like some fashion street lar..shops selling clothes..

BUt then cause it is situated near tourist attraction..*near a mosque...n Kampong Glam...ofcourse the clothes accessories they sell also abit more X lar..i wld say..probably their rental also another factor...haha..but then if u r tired of those shopping mall brands...like hangten or recoil or other shops..k check out the shops there...well i wldnt say exquiste..but then the plus pts is that its much more to its own personalised brands/shops...(well haha sorry cant relate well)...now the down side..wld be..like u have to walk in an open air street..n the shops is like two storeys..so everytime u go into a shop..u have to climb....-_-!!tiring...haha but worth it if u find something that suits u there

Finally head to this Moroccan style cafe called 'DeliMoroccan' near the MOsque..had dinner that..wow the kebab n the tagin were realli nice...so guess we picked the right cafe!...of course endless turkish restaurants there also...well i haven try smoking the shisha...maybe someday i feeling rich..haha may go n dine there bah..n try it out..

(look at e-news on the left! for more reviews!)

(haji lane)

haiz...sigh sigh sighs.....one more paper to go..and its already demoralising...CUiz...QET eng was a waste of time...haha hope i pass and get over n done with... next was my psy2131... the paper was not difficult definitely...i would have to agree with my friend that a meticulous student with careful calculation will defeinitely score well...well..doesnt happen to be me!!!..variance forget to sq root to get SD lar...misread the qn use the wrong stats test lar...haiz...i was like rushing to correct all my mistake then do the rest of the paper...ite paper also incomplete..

Next was psy1101e... haiz...well my reluctance to buy the textbook seems to cost me dearly...haha tot k struggle with the one i got (an older version used years ago before they switch to the new one)...ite...haiz...the MCQ part also cuiz...then came the short answer..WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TWO EYES?...kanna stunned...its like i kanna box by the paper right in the face liao...well its states that we shd nt write more than half a page...well i m struggling to write at least a quarter of a page for the short answer qn...u koe what i mean....sigh..

today...had history in the morning...then econs in the aftn...well...Two essay in two hours..i find it hard rather lar...seriously... so the first essay i think i did relatively quite okie..cause koe how to write...n kind of organise my tots properly...then...time management kicks in liao... spend too much time on first essay..and for the second..din organise them properly...i write until.. i dun koe what i m writing at the end of it...seriously...no link at all..haiz hope it goes well lar..

then came econs...MCQ was just a test of the "'Ti Gum"(anyhow choose answer)...kind of difficult for me..and i m seeing stars all over...haha..n i spend too much time on it...think is me lar..trying to make sure my "ti gum" must be as 'Zun" (accurate) as possible..(what's was i think man!!?? by looking at my chosen answer like can increase the p of getting it right...?? think i losing my thoughts then)...and the short answer part...haiz....maybe a combination of 'i dun koe' and time management again..i like mental block..cant think of the answer...ite..out of 40 marks..i blanked ard 14...nt including...the wrong answers....cuiz..again.. hoping for a pass...same goes for the psy paper...

ANd..here m i ranting away..too demoralise to study for my last paper..haha think tomorrow then study...its an open book..but revision for it is like onli one day?(did read abit on monday)...but siao sia...cuiz...haha think two days revise also nt enugh lar....haha..( well tot of just bloggin and cont practicing my keyboard..but now...time for my show liao...haha (haven been studying since i reach home at 5!))

Frustration!

2008-10-25T01:08:00.002+08:00

OKie..great...got to accomplish essay and powerpoint slides by MOnday..following a film anaylsis the week after and a psy assignment next sat as well... My free day is like shit sia...Very much i wanna revise for my final sem( cause psy mid term quite cuiz)...but no time...haha hard to catch up with readings as well...diaoz..

Realli..the psy 1101e tutorial is the most redundant... being doing stupid things like as u which MRT station is more north or south...which is related to heuristic psy....which i find it abit no link la..then this one last thurs...wanna pon..but since go thru questions in mid term so i went in the end.....

after gg thru the questions then again...stupid experiment again...talking about milgram's experiment of social psychology..in 1960s this social psychologist came up with an experiment, asking people to inflict 'pain' to others...main objective is to show that people tend to listen to higher authority even though they are inflicting 'pain' on others... like obedience to higher authority that kind lar...

AND THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING is!!.. the TA asked someone to volunteer to read out the whole text of the experiment which is like 3/4 of a page..font 12..single spaced...AND there is a guy realli read the whole tect out..i was like OMG...cant u like ask us to read sliently.. isnt that faster!!!...and that guy.. i cant believe he just read out...i was like sian diaoz..cause the tutorial is 6-8 pm..damn tired n hungry liao...just wanna go home early..
I just keep my paper in my bag and sat there blankly as he read....dun care liao..
Haha welll as much i wanted to tell the TA my tots...but haha..demostrated obedience again..dun there to question her decision...tho i was like frustated....contradictary....diaoz... ( okie...its just a rambling post...of no substances...sorry for taking up ur precious time...)
