it's so weird how sometimes u do a certain things a certain way, and when the others dont reciprocate the same manner, it's kinda disappointing. maybe not everyone is as sensitive, maybe not everyone does stuff like you.
its funny how sometimes how you hated when people bend your rules, but on certain occasion its 'okay' to another to twist the same old principal. maybe its an oversight, or maybe its just pure favourism.
actually, people are observant creatures. they do, they observe, they conclude and they make sure they do stuff that will continue to make them happy (or happier), or just stop doing stuff that'll make them sad. The procedure is simple : if whatever you did makes everyone happy, continue to do it; if whatever you did makes you sad, stop. I mean there's no point in doing something that'll dampen anyone's mood. you could've spent the time doing something u liked better, and makes you much happier too. Sure, some will call it being selfish...but hey, there's always a reaction for every action. Do review the process before the name calling.
Well, a brand new year is coming, leave every bad memories behind and bring forth the good ones. This just means to enjoy every moment and bring out that smile whenever a problem arises. Change for the BETTER and know that improvement is possible for ANYONE. Like Gandhi once said "Be the change that you wish to see in the world". Only when you do it, can you expect others to follow yr footsteps.

Christmas is finally here!! happy max ^o^
Christmas is the season of joy, love, and of course, presents =) muahaha...
got a cute little baby from my sis, a voucher from my lil' sis, and of course, the calendarbum from dear <3
so this year's christmas, my family is spending it at gentings, all of them but mee =/ yesss..but on the bright side, imma gonna watch 'WICKED THE MUSICAL'! yeah, been looking forward to it for some time alr, and its finally here =)
so we began with eating the 'good food'. haha, by good food i mean food that are rather expensive and not our usual style of cuisine haha. but anyways, its rather satisfying! *thumbs up!* its this jap restaurant by the water fountain called : TONKICHI. tada~
(green tea and me!)

(we ordered so much foood! *bloats*)

yep yep, after all that good food, its time to sit back and relax on a great musical!
(our tixs to WICKED)

(heehee, bought a book as a memorium)

(that's us, there & then.)

it was a rather good musical. wasnt really understanding much of it at the very beginning, but eventually...i did! its kinda like a prelude to 'the wizards of Oz' story. now i know how dorothy, dodo, tin man, strawman & lion came about (good educational musical huh). It lasted about 3 hrs loong (kudos to the casts who hada work so hard), but i guess they enjoyed the applause and atmosphere too~
It's my first time going into MBS grand theatre, looks pretty big but the sound wasn't as good as expected. Guessed cos the whole theatre was too big to begin with, and a relatively small stage to go along. maybe they should put plays into smaller theatres and just concerts (purely for the music musical) in this kind of theatres...
But anyways, its still a musical to look forward to and it didnt let me down =) I guess by the end of the show, both of us were WICKIFIED.

"its time to try defying gravity" - Stephen Schwartz
can i really do that?

this movie seems magical. i believe this's a must-watch!
enjoy the trailer~

Hope you'll wake up before it's too late.
it's your life you're placing at stake, not mine.
i shouldn't even care since u don't give a shiet too.
maybe i shld just do what i want to and heck care whatever anyone thinks.
maybe, i shld not stay here as much as i do.
everyone expects something, but nobody does anything.
not more than what they expect anyway.
she has high hopes for you, really hope you wont disappoint her.

i came across this article which is rather shocking:

O M G!

wish me the best of luck.

{( x(oo)x )} - mug hard

Sooo, I've been rather vexed since sem began about the whole friendship thingy and it was re-ignited again today when I went for my make-up quiz. Cos when I was there, I found that I couldn't talk to any of them (the make-up peoples), I guess they didn't wana talk to me either...
So I was distracted from my studies and I wrote down a namelist of who are the people(from uni cos they're the ppl who I have to face day in day out) who I cant click with and who are those I can, and I suddenly came to realise that I have more good friends than those lousy ones. (Yay!) I mean, I know why I've been down and its becuz those who I cant click are mostly by my side. Its ironic how we cnt click but some we have to hang out tgt most of the time (dunno if they feel the same way too hmmm...) But one things for sure, life likes to make things difficult and we have to find our own way out. I mean, I could have made a decision to leave n not see those ppl as often, but the choices in life are not as easy as it seems. For one, we're in the same course + cohort and we have to see each other in every other lecture. And for two, we have mutual frens who are more mutual then you can imagine. I really wonder if I have to work with them in the future. Of course I don't mind working with nice people, but if we cnt click means we'll have nth to gay about which means everyday will be quiet n everyday can go emo alr. bleahs! Don't want man, nono.
Hais, as I grow older, I believe in studies lesser n lesser, which in turn makes me not wana study and even worse, cnt absorb any stuff. The stuff I'm studying are incomprehensible and I don't see myself doing them in the near or far future =X
Its amazing how the ppl ard me are getting smarter while I'm stuck in my own sphere. I tink I have to go out more and explore the rest of the world, get a glimpse into the lifes of others and not be so narrow-minded and get all worked up over the small stuffs.
Of course, I'm ever so grateful for having a fantabulous bf, family, and friends (these are my special friends who laugh at my lamest of jokes and just hang out with me for wadever reasons) <3
The lousy people just makes me appreciate whatever that's not as lousy as them even more. So I gotta be grateful for coming across them too. =P Muahaha~ but p.s., don't stay too long, aligatok. =)

tomorrow's test will spell the start of my finals for my 5th semester in uni. but i cant seem to get my mind to focus!! arghh!

“Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age” - Walter Savage Landor

Giddiness, fever, flu.

Did my nails on saturday, a gift from my sis i guess =D

heard it's called "graduation". and it cost a 25bucks more on top of the original express manicure (8 bucks). omigosh, things are getting extremely expensive nowadays..

okie so had a rough day ytd and so i got a treat from dear ^o^

SAMSUI CHICKEN RICE! one of the best chicken source u can find (another is pao xing) but it doesnt come cheap. As they say, what u pay is wad u get. And i got a yummy dinner! =D

Yay! My sister's wedding was a success!
So gald she enjoyed it. And my parents too. I could really see happiness (with a tint of sadness) in their eyes. But anyways, we know she's getting married to a good man that will always look after her. Wonder how thing's gonna change around here now...well, just take things as they come =)

Hais, I don't get how come things always don't go as planned. Everyone tells me one thing and does the other. It's like everyone has two sides to them. And so suayly, I'm the kind who cannot "act kind" to those whose bad stuff I know. It's like I'm borned in the wrong era or smth. Everything I do, is not correct. Everytime the stuff I see, will be something I don't like. And when I wana correct it, its always my fault my fault my fault. Miserable shit.


'Wish I was a happier girl'

I'm studying for my test next monday and decided to escape for a lil' while to blog.
you'll myt think studying for a monday test now is kinda early but wait till u see my schedule:
friday - lectures plus proj ALL THE WAY
sat - potentially proj last min matters & assist my sis with her wedding preparations
sun - sis big day! prepare prepare prepare!
mon - test
...
it's 22 days to the start of my final exams..and 33 days to the end of it.
oh, did i mention the 1 day for my sis wedding, 1 day for my bday, 1 day for my proj presentation plus bday dinner, 1 day to celebrate w my jc fren, 1 day for eg presentation, 2 days(min) to practice my speech for presentation, 1 day to do my 2 lab reports, 33 hours approx left of lecture, 20 hours of traveling...*does some abacus move* i'll be left with 12 days(max) to study for my 4 exams.
yep, all my good things tend to happen within a month of exams, which makes them 'lose' their goodness...but dream on exams! i'll never let u take the good stuff away from me!!! rawr! but okay, time to go study again.
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted" -John Lennon
just wished i had the time to waste...

"It's the unexpected things that always happen."
I have sooo many things on hand. Wedding stuff for my sis, Project submissions, Homework completion, presentation slides + rehersals, birthdays birthdays birthdays. It's supposed to be the BIG twenty first, but i dont really feel exceptional. Everything (that's to do w schooling esp) that's happening now is blocking me from the happiness. School's just dumb. I havent started revision (how can i even have the time to study), but i cnt wait to get over and be done with my exams.

It's 12hours to midnight, 12hours to my proj completion. And i'm like only 10% done. I have soo many stuff to complain about, but (as expected) no time to do so. Well wish me good luck everyone!

*tata*

worst day of my life.

Steve Jobs 1955 -2011

i dont own an iphone but i have to say Steve Jobs was the man. itouch was the first gadget i bought that cost so much, but it brought me so much fun. its sad that bad thing always happen to good people, while bad people get good things. this is a generalization of course. but anyways, do good stuff, and one day or another, good stuff will happen to you. rest in peace Steve, and thank you for my itouch =)

"Stay hungry, Stay foolish."

This seems really cute! i should totally do this...someday =)

Next date to look forward to : oktober 1st =D

Just tot of a random quote which its pretty applicable to everyone...i guess?? o.O

When we're young: an apple a day keeps the doctors away

When we're older: a hanuta a day keeps the doctors at bay =]

did it apply to you? it sure do for meeeee~

i know i kinda was different during the start of the semester. i didnt want it that way either, it's just that sometimes when u reach the breaking point and went beyond it, everything gets affected, intentionally or not. i know nobody will hear it but i just hope everything will be fine again =)

just went on fb. there's the new layout and stuff which is rather confusing and i can see many people complaining. butt i tink it's rather good as u can see more happenings at once. like who's online, what ppl are commenting and liking, the top news as well as the latest updates. and i saw someone who was supposed to be sleeping hmmm..oh well, technology is getting even more complicated. and dunno why but i came across a comment (not from fb fyi) that "why are we checking out networking sites when we shld be reading books" and i tink that's damn right. i could gain so much more frm reading than checking out what mary did and tom ate. i might not even talk to them in real life! thats the problem with networking sites nowadays. connecting people in the virtual sense and making them even unconnected in the real life. #wished i could turn back time and everything could go back to the good old days whereby the only way to communicate is talking face to face. -sigh-

it's the time in my life where almost anything that can go wrong, went wrong. i'm slowly correcting it bit by bit, but i know it cant be done overnight. everyone have their life to live and life goes on no matter how good or bad the day is. so why not make the best out of everyday and see everything in a better light right? hmmm, easier said than done when there's one good thing and 99 others bad. Butt it's just like you have 1 good friend and 99 other just friends, its the 1 good friend that really counts, and stays. others just drop by and leave. They may leave marks in yr life(good or bad), but they as long as time ticks on(oh finally this is a GOOD thing), these days will be over sooner than you think ;)

Recently i've came by a quote in an article i found rather interesting and so will make it my "quote" (longest one yet).

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go,"
- Alice in Wonderland

so initially, a lost person i am, i was following this path...
baby > pre-school > pri school > sec school > JC > uni > work > live my life

i guess aft reading the quote, i have to be more specific:
> get out of uni asap > get into the working force and earn loads of $$ > save enough and live my life by travelling the world + having a blast with the people that mean the most to me ^-^

Had a chat with my friends recently. The contents weren't great but it felt good nevertheless! School's getting busier with all the deadlines and tests starting to pop up one after another. It's the time of the semester again where i will not be able to meet deadlines and have to burn both the midnight candle as well as those 1am, 2am, 3am candles etc. The candle industry must be making loads from these man (*ting! good business idea*) haha. Oh yeah, the moon-cake festival is here again! people, please dont forgot to just buy some candles (can u totally feel the profit for this business??) and go downstairs, wherever u may live, and just light and burn them. This is the only time for us to play with fires and be a kid once more! and also to escape the energy-sucking-assignments/tests/projects that are piling up by the days. call me childish but i will never get sick of playing candles, sparklers and lanterns <3

So here's just a little photo-update on my life so far...(of course, only the good stuffs here if not my blog will be filled with papers, equations and who-knows-what from school #$!@*~}:< )

Practice makes perfect, and this mee is more than perfect =P

A First Brozeitian Experience - with Pork Knuckles...

and a potato side. Interestingly, the most memorable thing is the onions haha.

Go Interesting Onions!

Moneyplants VS Zchombies.

A sudden urge of being artistic. heh heh heh.

School's becoming busier by the day.

I've been feeling detached from this particular group of friends as a whole (of cos some contributed more to this feeling). Dunno if they feel that way too. Hoping it's just the "school-reopening" syndrome i'm getting now. Cause we'll be friends till who knows when. And i have to get rid of my easily-distracted-me asap, cause it's dragging me behind and making me procrastinate (yikes!). I guess friends come and go, but i'm trying hard to make peace with the certain few terrible homosapiens that i have to see so frequently, it might actually kill me. haha...ok that's me complaining again. but then again, that's what blogs are for..right? =) gwwaa, people are getting too complicated nowadays. i can no longer see who's real and who's fake.

okay, tink the planning for my sis's wedding is beginning. i'm excited! though i know there's every chance i might have to burn the after mid-night oils when it happens. but doing something interesting is definitely worth it! and doing it for my sis is double the worth, cause she's the one who's (mostly) always there for me. haha. dont blame me for saying that cos u're always not at home in the past =X

soo, recently i heard about my fren's new sem's resolution. i wana make mine to. it's

1) get rid of my jail [the place that makes me stuck for some time, allows only to write on walls & get poked by others >> fb of course]

2) attempt all tutorial questions

3) ignore the evil(this is the first time i'm using this word to descibe a person, cause it's really mean!), and acknowledge the good. "cause 2 bads doesn't make a good. but 2 goods makes it too good to be trued. =P"- yup, this is my quote again haha.

*tata*

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe

I am happy I have you ♥

people nowadays are too reliant on networking sites -_-" they cant even spend a day (or maybe an hour) not entering their sites and hp apps make them worse. good luck to them, hope you have a happily ever after with your site~ wonder how's it'll be like with so many people married to their coms/hps [O.o]

they make mistakes and do stupid stuff, but i love them just the same ♥

chocolates can really be a good friend in times like this.

"if you're gonna be two faced, at least make one of them pretty" - marilyn monroe..geez, what's with the world.

yay! my air con's finally working! and it's so cold i'm sneezin'!

haha, the poetic me just came out of nowhere...went to meet sarah today..it was a great ketchup session for me =) hope she likes the present i gave her~ happy twenty first bday sarah.

oh ya, went to my auntie's hse earlier on and saw baby kasper already walking! he's getting cubbier by the day but looking so ever cute. now he knows how to speak a little and make sounds like "ha ha, ho ho, heh heh" hahaha, can't be any cuter than that! Best thing is he is not afraid of strangers....thus, we all got to carry him. So this baby is definitely : carriable.

I'm back to watching running man again. haha, all their nonsense..really missed my days in korea..best hotels i've stayed in and i rmb liking the schedule loads cos it's the holiday where i don't feel tired when i'm awake =)

okay, so quote for the day "life is not measured by the breaths we take, but the moments that take our breaths away"-maya angelou

had a boring day at home packing my shelves and tutoring my sister. the only high point of today was the arnorlds dinner where my sisters and i played the tonging machine and we won a small prize. yep it's the little things that makes your day. hmmm, i didn't know why i suddenly tot of what would i want to be in the future...maybe a famous speaker? the first person who came to mind was ellen. omigoodness, so long never watch ellen degeneres already..miss her show so much. it was the show that made my day everytime when i got home every 5-6pm..hais..come back to channel 5 please!...hais..dunno why uni didnt become a high point of my life..almost everyone tells me to treasure the remaining time i have in school but...i just cant wait to go out to work..i know it might not be my ideal job but at least the money is rolling in..or so i tink..hais..why is life so complicated...i miss tv, i miss piano, i miss staying at home where i have stuff to do and i miss my derek..hais..please lemmi be addicted to smth for now..anything will do...anyway, gonna watch movie and there's this cuties jeremy and justin dancing to the lazy song, they're so adorable!! catch them when you can!

Yup! Food and it's here again! Had home-cooked food (by chefs not older than 21years) for the past 2 days and surprising to say, I'm lovin' it! Of course, you-know-him is the one putting in all the effort to find out how to cook but you-know-me also did help out...sometimes =X For the food, the high points were the asparagus with bacon and of course, the beefed-up hearts above =) Didn't know cooking actually had a fun satisfaction to it. Now I just wana cook so manny more stuff! So the saying goes..."so many food, so little time!"

This sem is gonna be a whole new sem. Half way through, half more to go. Where to? I have no idea, but i don't really enjoy the 'culture' in uni as much as many do. I mean..come to think about it, there's the tons of lectures which i can skip and tutorials that i don't even need to hand in for checking, uni should be "the place" for students. But i guess i'm just old fashioned and kinda like the traditional way of life back in the days where uniforms are necessary. Back then, there were the teachers i can approach for help and tables i can call my own. I'm not stereotyping all uni profs as unapproachable, but the uni way of life (for total newbies) doesn't give the students the necessary avenue for past year papers to practice on (and answers to check) and so I dont really know which are the stuffs I don't know and what to ask. This said, some lectures really just 'lecture' without making the learning interesting, which really just bring down the whole morale for me. These past 2 years, there's some modules which i understand, and some that i don't have a clue about...especially stuff with calculations (and sadly, calculations is kind of my forte =/). I tink among my course-mates, i'm one of the few unexpected ones who entered the course and the fight for survival has definitely taken a toll on me. But having said that, i know that sometimes when things get really bad, just know that it could have been worse. =) yep quote me on that heh heh heh. So, just make the best out of what my life has to offer and look forward to the future~ that's where i'll earn big bucks and travel around the world [pipe dreaming-smoke free of course]. Ok, so here's a motivational quote to keep everyone going!

"Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost." - Robert H. Schuller

oh oh, and here's another one which i just happen to hear it on a video and find it so correctly placed in the wrong way. "i don't give a fawkes about your order of phoenix!" - epic rap battle #11

it sounds so wrong..but it feels so right!

[16-7-11]Went to my papa's company cross country and i finally ran a total distance of 3.2km! I know that's nth much but to me, it's a huge accomplishment. Though my legs are making a clear statement that they are definitely not running anytime soon again =/ Even so, i'm super happy =D Why?? Because i won the 3rd prize in the lucky draw! Wooohooo~ it's kinda like a first lucky draw win i ever had. Maybe my 20+ years of luck has finally begin to start overflowing out of the storage system. Double yay to that! =)

[17-7-11]A special thanks to limmy who didnt forget us when she went to Germany! =) She gave us each a postcard of KONIG LUDWIG II and a cute 4 coloured pencil. The designs on it are adorable too! (oh oh, plus a yummy chocolate bar that got gobbled in less den 2 chews >.<)

[18-7-11] Went Da Paolo Gastronomia (what a name!) and tried out white chocolate crumble (crumble was gooood) and the coldest potato salad yet. Easily filled our stomachs to the brim tonight. But didnt get to try the black rice thingy that we wanted though. Next time perhaps =P Thanks for the sweet supper <3

School's starting soon, and i always have these tiny talks on why my results arent good. So scrolling through the quote pages, i tink i finally saw a reason that can explain my results. "Everyone has photographic memory, some just dont have film." - steven wright.

I guess mine ran out some time ago...Anyone selling refills?? bbm me!

Finally completed my new blog template and made all the changes that i wanted to. And...I'm lovin' it! =D Sneaked a peak at my past entries too. Found the posts really amusing HAHA! Didnt expect myself to write in such unique style in the past =X haha..come to think about it, really had loads of nonsense (but fun) in those days, dun really know what i'm doing and just tagging along my sister with her adventures, hanging out with my friends, and just doing whatever there is to do! Flash forward and it's already 8 years down the road. 2 more and i may be out of the schooling industry. wonder what lies ahead of me then. But till then, i shall explore more adventures to live my life~ "Chaos often breeds life, like order breeds habit" - Henry B. Adams

So, i should go lookin' for chaos to live my life yesss??

Post. Quote. Message.

The news says it all!

Look wise, the cupcakes were pleasing to the eyes. But taste wise, uh uh, cake will be a much better choice. Well, we gained some cupcake experience sooo, not too bad! Oh yeah, did i mention our lunch that day? My sister, derek & I shared a mega meal from this western stall. And when that huge (i mean really huge! at least hugest i've seen so far) pile of chicken came, i could'nt resist snapping a shot for memory. you know you know...
Yup. and the shocking thing is, it's only made up of 8 pieces of chicken. Incredible. Okay so skip to our dinner part. We had dinner at taman eatery again. Looking forward to my crayfish dish as seen in my last few posts =P But this time round, the crayfish wasn't really what i was hoping for. Perhaps it's the new way it's cooked or i miss the cereal or maybe i was new to crayfish that time and so it tasted nicer. But anyway, they still tasted not bad! Tried the stingray, some egg (which i forgot the name again -.-) and beggar chicken. haha! the chicken's surprisingly not bad! It reminded me of the paper-wrapped chicken in singapore, except they named it beggar's chicken. haha, unique name huh. And den, my father (unable to resist the temptations from nearby durain stall), went to buy a "mao shang wang" durain. hmmm, the shell looks freshly green and the thorns are beautifully pointy.
Okay, nothing much to say abt durains except my sister said singapore's mao shang wang is fantastically great. And, i spotted the similarity between my mom's y-l-m-h-b-c and my blue nails, so i decided to snap snap again =D such a good color coincidence! <3
yeps, and we bought a cookie-monster & elmo shirt, nope not from sesame street but from holiday inn >.< haha..i bought a patrick one tooo! cant wait to wear it.
yup, hoped everyone enjoyed the time in m'sia and perhaps we'll all have a chance to go overseas together again! Okay, so today, i dedicate my quote to my mama. "You're not 40+, you're just 18 with 20+ years of experience!" =D
P.S. this is a sweet design made my derek <3

carrot cake:
har gao:
char siew bao:
and the last more unique dish, mango prawn:
yep..and it turned out we hada pay an additional $10 cos' of the tea and appetizer charges. Good experience but not gonna try again i guess. haha, hopefully groupon has other better offers up for grabs and not anything similar to this =X

having fun! *tada*
A picture with a picture~
soya bean milk from Istana just taste royale.
First time in Istana was leg-tired but enjoyable~ Had loads of fun serving the people there although i didn't manage to catch any conversation by the guests (which some of my kpo frens did haha). But the food there was not bad! yummy mee siam, tang yuans and hokkien mees. what's more, they're all freeee~ haha, not bad huh! And i learnt some stuff, one that applies to both play, work and life, which is..."the belly rules the mind"-Spanish proverb. And we were happy people when we left Istana =)

Yeps, making vege-mashy-hamful-pita with his gifted arty talent.
And then, i spotted a heart-shaped cherry! yummy!
Ok so after the appetizer, we decided it was time to test our kite flying skills again (yep, we tested it on monday and failed miserably =/). So after flying awhile, I started to see many many patterns slowly appearing.. Hence, i decided to create 'KITE FLYING 101'-by derek. Here are some of the preview techniques that can be found in the book. If interested, please contact me to purchase this very special book @ a very special price. Discounts available.
Spent a wonderful time @ the barrage and disgesting all the food we made. *yum yum* looking forward to another picnic! but missing my crayfish badly... Cant wait for 13june to go eat CRAYFISH! <3
