Yes, this is what you get when you only have 2 days to celebrate a festive holiday which involves: visiting relatives all over the country, eating the unlimited goodies you can get your hands on, collecting red packets everywhere you go and of course, the 'friendly exchange' of cards and monies (which can very likely last overnight). How to squeeze all those above into the time frame of 48 hrs?? not to mention we still gotta take away those hours for adequate rest and -.- studies ("festive assignments" =.=). So yeah, here we've got it...POST-CHINESE NEW YEAR SYNDROME! It's even stated in the newspaper so it's definitely a BIG deal. I'm now still kinda in a CNY mood and my readings don't ever seem to end - stuck at one pile for a super duper long time!!! Weekends aren't even an option cos of the visitings i wanna go to...and come to think of it, it's already week 3 into my school semester. that's pretty fast! okay den, gotta overcome my syndrome and go do more readings =/
"How many people here have telekenetic powers? Raise my hand."- Emo Philips
wished someone had telekenetic powers to help read my readings.
CNY is coming! Have you bought your new clothes yet?? I've manage to get one today. it's a zebra-themed one sleeve top. haha, recently dunno why always end up buying a one-sided top. but its just nice the design is interesting and most importantly, within my budget. I realised the CNY clothes i bought for many past years are really just for CNY only. Super wasteful, but i must admit i tried to wear them on as many occasion as possible already. just happened that i'm not those kind of people who likes over-dressing (sometimes even too lazy to simple-dress i guess? haha =X).
It's time of the year where all the last-minute house cleaning and packing and buying of goodies come again. Busy busy. But then again, it'll all be great when the ang bao starts rollin' in {>(oo)<} haha =D Well, my CNY goals are to learn more tricks in the game of mahjong and maybe pick up a few new games along the way~ Of course, must keep my fingers crossed for the yearly ban luck w my family. Wonder what's horse zodiac like this year hmmm... But anyways, a brand new year (on both english & chinese calendar) has arrived! stepping into the 3rd decade of my life and trying to embrace the "new world" with both hands, feets, head, stomach and wadever, I've came to realise that life isnt always easy, but we'll just have to keep going & growing strong. Happy chinese new year everyone! Here's a CNY quote just for you : "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves" - Bill Vaughan
Either way, i'm staying up because i want my parents to live till a ripe old age! ♥

Decided to remove my tagboard since nobodys write on it anyways *sob*. i believe this place will soon become a place for me to release my unhappiness, with all the complains and stuff soon to come my way (i foreseed it, guru style). I was actually glad that i got to "take up" (its not 100% confirmed yet) a project that i'm interested in and thought this sem might just havea rather good beginning. but no, there's not ONLY this one, there's another, and now i've heard, there's one more -.- omg! will i ever survive this sem?? i have no idea...i guess i only have myself to blame, taking up more projects and stuff. but hey, i would really really like to see how the 'real world' works. really hate when my passion comes and life just doesnt work in favour of it. W-H-Y like this??? I would really like to know the answer. so LIFE, if you're seeing this, can you tell me why are you always finding ways to make it hard for me? Pls reply me through my sleep (cos thats the fastest way and if you've noticed, i've removed my tagboard).
i found a quote which i really liked. wish i can do that...well mayb i will try one day. it'll cost a few bucks though...

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.

Hope you'll wake up before it's too late.

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.

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. =)

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.

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*
