arrgghhh! this is killing me. The latest paper i took was 2 days ago and my last paper will be in 4 days times. But i'm like slacking all the way and don't even have a tinge of motivation to study for my last paper!! one week seems forever but nothing's completed =( why like this one...shesh, every single thing looks so much more appealing to me right now. even the things i've seen before like tons of times alr, shiet.

WOosh, this is my first time i'm using the new blog design. Not really used to it as the post slot is really big but the size of the words remains the same. Anyways, here's a video that i chanced upon and i think it's really amazing. Not only for the fact that the it shows a bullied finally getting the recognition he deserves (shame on you bullies -.-), but more importantly, it shows friendship over fame. It's really sad to say that some people u consider friends do break your heart. But whatever, they really don't deserve your f/s. Just rmb to treasure those good friends of yours. Like what people say, enemies are whatever BUT friends are forever =D

YAY the welfare pack is here!!

But half is almost gone *heh heh heh* Studying is seriously energy consuming!
(>.<)

omigosh! exams are like this week and yes i've been trying to study but no i cant seem to absorb anything i do! i'm always distracted every now and then (don't get me wrong, the distractions are wayyy better and i won't miss them for study), but why does the good distractions always come at the time when exams are here. sianzzz. And i am (i guess) really trying to focus and do wad i can, but every thing is going from bad to worse. i practiced, it's a C. then i practiced more and then i failed (T.T). Why does this kind of stuff always happen to mee. I wana know what i'm studying, i wana enjoy wad i'm studying. but no, there'll always be rules and regulations to abide by and restrictions to follow. even though after completing so many modules, i don't really feel educated at all......i wonder how those people that have the same experience as me faring in life now....

I came across this interesting restaurant concept of using a space on the old airplane board of Switzerland to create a restaurant with an airplane theme. The grand scale of the airplane in the restaurant (esp looking from outside at night) already intrigues anyone that sees it, needless to say the tourists and business class people:

And I like the boarding pass touch especially =)
So cool right, next time i wana be boss of such restaurant, then i get to "board" an airplane everyday! ;)

Sooo this is my latest love, from derek =P. Cute as they are, they come in standard sizes and packaging. BUT, the fun thing is, you get to 'dress them up' with your arty farty imagination. Here's a couple which is dressed as a couple, and the designer is >>DEREK<< heh heh heh:

Yes, of course the stylo milo photography by yours truly ;)
And so, if the main role of this danboard is for playing...of course i had to mess around with it =) here's one where i made the danboard go into the "i-believe-i-can-fly" position:

haha, they're really cute in and out of pictures.
love the danboards! <3


yep, and we went for a picnic..again! woots! heh heh heh, we're really getting better at such things. Now, we know how to do a make-shift mat, where's the good locations, and most importantly, the right food to bring along!

Here's a sneak peek to the salmon egg snadwich we made and gobbled down...

and i get to feed the ducks! cool right!

and after that, we went for a little walk down the flora and fauna of Singapore. I managed to snap a few shots in a kinda 'artistic' fashion, which didn't turn out as arty as i wanted but nevertheless...nice =P
Enjoy my snapshots:

And we went to eat kushin-bo. A jap buffet restaurant by suntec...

and we manage to hear the famous kushin-bo song. and we chionged to collect the goodies, which turn out not really as good as expected. but at least it looks pleasing to the eyes. haha eye candy looo

well, that's all folks!

So recently, a tutor of mine gave me these goodies during lesson abruptly:

I mean it's sudden because its not the last lesson or anything, but it still feel rather nice to receive presents from teachers once in awhile. Uni teachers can be rather nice too. And thinking of this, i rmbed this idiot teacher who is biased against different students and i believe it's because of his own personality. I mean, it's okay if there's no presents involved butt whats his problem for targeting students when he himself is a problem -.-
Don't mind me. I just get emotional thinking about why there's such teachers and i still tot he was rather 'grandfatherly' in previous semester. yesyes, me and my lousy judgement. Anyways, i'm glad that's over and the present (i mean now) is these chocolates. So yep, this is an example that the future can be brighter too =)
Shessh! there's only like 3 more weeks to final exams and i'm still struggling to catch up with every single thing. Why must life ALWAYS be so super hectic (T.T) And it's not like the stuff we're learning is gonna be useful anyways:
"Biggest Mystery of Maths, 1000s of years passed, Millions of theorems derived, Millions of formulas made, But still, X is unknown!" - unknown
See! Told you!
Anyway, here's a video of my dad and his fishy encounter. Enjoy!

I would be out there, exploring different countries.
My geog and general knowledge could have been so much better.
I could have visited my sister when she's sick.
I could have just gone out whenever I wanted and do whatever I liked.
I wouldn't need to be stuck in this stupid schooling system learning what I am not really interested day in, day out.
My day would have been spent more meaningfully.
I could have been an artist.
I could have won the most-movies-watched-by-a-human-alive world record.
I wouldn't need to worry about so many stuffs.
I wouldn't miss so many bai bai sessions.
I could have hang out at my cousin's place every week.
I might have designed a theme park.
...as if restrictions will disappear -.-

when people aren't concerned about you (or more concerned about the others), next time, they don't deserve to know about you. period :)

Don't say words which you don't mean - be a man of your words
Don't get angry - every minute of anger is 60 seconds of happiness gone
Don't leave everything to others - do it yourself, else it'll only make them nag more and more (a negative externality esp for others in need of peace)
Don't vent your anger on everyone else - they're not your punching bag

I need to watch a stupid webcast, but i can't even watch it in peace. 9am alarm and now it's 130pm and i'm not done with the webcast. serenity is just so hard to get now. hais, back to wc for now...

sometimes, it's just you against the world.

Soo, tml is my sister's birthday. she's finally 16! It was like 6 years ago when i was 16...
Soo, i made these sandwiches a few days ago (or weeks omg i don't really rmb). They're sort of like the first few sandwiches i made cause usually it'll be my sisters being the cook. I found this imprint really cute and i guess that was my motivation to make sandwiches =P So lemmi bring you through my extraordinary sandwich making procedure...
Step 1: test out imprint on one bread, if it's good...

Step 2: imprint the rest of the breads!

Step 3: add in the ingredients and seaaal!

Step 4: remember to share the love <3 make some for everyone~

Soo, the result was not too bad =) @ least all my sandwiches were finished haha...oh ya and just when i wrote this, i remembered it was the DAY leshay was borned! (^^)yeah~
Yay! And we managed to use our Wagyu beef groupon and had a delicious beef steamboat! It was really worth the price paid as we managed to save 20 bucks off the deal, and it was my first time eating sucha 'high class'(well it's high class to mee) beef. *yum yum*

Oh and i got some easter presents for my sisters and from derek as well <3 Happy early easter day~
Soo random stuffs happen and i got to get a glimpse of this bike while walking from e3a to lt7a in my school. Wow, it's really nice. Just the shade of blue i like on a scooter. Didnt really fancy the helmet though, I'd go for the old-fashioned turtle shell one still, but here's a pic of what i'm describing:

Yup, sometimes you'll find random things that pop up every now and then into your daily monotonous life and it'll kinda brighten your day. Of course, there're days that are lousy too. Like this inconsiderate driver who stopped right smack inside the yellow box blocking the car from turning and in turn preventing a whole line of other cars in the single lane from moving. idiot. i am still thinking about stomping it but maybe i'll propose the idea to my stomper sister. she's totally a regular (although she keeps denying it) and she'll know what to do yeah. haha, here's the evidence:

And recently, weird stuff keeps happening...like when i was in my kitchen having my noon breakfast, my father asked me to look at this crowd gathering at a carpark beside my flat

Yeah, they were like taking some artistic photoshoots and talking quite loudly too..i'll give it to them that they have good parking skills...and it's kinda a stompable photo don't you think? haha...
Soo wednesday is my soci test and tml i've prepared to celebrate my sis bday the whole day, so better work hard alreddy! Leaving you with a quote:
"everybody dies but not everybody lives" - nicki minaj
Soo true, so rememeber to always treasure the people around you, studies/work can really only bring you so far....

YAY!! Finally did up my new blog design. This is inspired from self-photography and my valentine roses (given by derek ^u^). Artistic yeah =P haha. well actually i'm seeing loads of photography taken by so many self-taught individuals, and just nice, there's this bunch of pretty roses just by my desk so...heh heh heh!
And after the photo-taking session, i've rearranged the roses back to my "vase" without the surrounding accessory flowers. Here they are:

I think i wrap much nicer than the person who wrap this originally looo...the bouquet was like exploding by the end of vday -.- But nevertheless, the 9 roses are keepers! ♥
So recess week is over and now is the 8th week into the semester. left 5 more weeks to go. yes, 5. A number countable by one hand. Which is so damn fast! There are the countless projects/assignments/homeworks and midterms which are always just due a "next week" away. Why did i ever choose 2 artsy fartsy modules in a semester. I mean, although theres only like 2 core mods this semester, i don't feel any less stress. And end of this semester will spell the start of my LAST YEAR OF UNI. wow. tink i better don't veer so far ahead and focus on the present first. Of course, a happy thing just happened to my family: my sister just gave birth! 3rd march 2012 is the date to remember as an adorable little dragon baby (and leshay is her name =])was borned to my sister =) haven't visited them since the weekends and i'm already missing them. Just wishing for the weekends to come faster...
Okay, so i better get back to my never-ending stuff. Leaving with this quote:

And so all the scientists/philosophers/textbooks are guilty as charged. tata~

Negative thoughts, please GET OUT of my life...

here's a few pictures of my day:
Gelato ice-cream in the middle of arab street...

This is a must buy for girls...and some guys?

Spot a HUMONGOUS chow chow otw to the mrt station...

i know chow chow breed are all the while huge but their size never loses the awesomeness. Their well-kept fur is so fluffy! and who can resist them went their owners parade them around in baby prams which is double the adorableness~ well, i'm still a cockle spaniel (it was tens of years ago but i just recall having to do some quiz which result i got was CS and hence the association ever after) person nevertheless.
omigosh, i'm sooo tired! gonna leave ya'll with a quote and go into my beauty sleep soon! tata!

Valentines' Day is round the corner! and LOVE is in the air~
Actually, love is in the air everyday. And of course, love doesn't only happen between couples but also our family, relatives, friends and you name it! But it's this day where you can officially intensify the showering of love on the people around you(friends also can give friends gifts one *HINT HINT*).

So I came across this story about love and decided to share it for this special occasion. This is the story of a girl who (i guess) got everything she (or any other person) wanted : a homecoming queen, a valedictorian for her cohort, and the guy who she loved and was in love with her since 11th grade. Then, one day, she got sick and everything came crashing down for her, well except her love. You can click on the following link to read up on her full story:



So after reading that, I believe that's what true love is about. "In SICKNESS and in health, till death do us part". And they weren't even bound by that vow before the wedding but yet the guy was willing to stay by her all those time. Saying this, it also reminds me of american idol chris medina whose fiancee had an accident before their wedding but they still wedded anyways.

Sometimes its quite sad to know that bad things happen to close people of good people.(abit chim here) But hey, its the bad things which let you appreciate the good things better. Its easy to be ok, its easy to be kind, but its even easier to be nasty. But then again, what's in it for you to be nasty to others? for that moment of "joy" or just to feel "belonging" to a clique. I'd rather be uncliqued and have happiness joy than this kinda sick joy then. A once-in-awhile fun is fun, but when somethings become a norm, its no longer fun anymore. Just because you didn't experience it doesn't mean you won't experience it in the future. Others are just nicer to not touch on your bad points and bring you down like you do to them. Don't wait till you meet an even nastier you to reflect or change your actions. Just think about the things you hate people to do to you, and you might be doing that very same thing to another person. I mean, the world won't be a worse place w/o the bad "jokes" will it?
