So my internship has come to an end, after a long 3 months of tiring work. Yes, i'll admit that i had alot of "free" days which i wasn't given any task but...i don't know why by the end of that day, the "being at work" part still gets to me. And the worst days were those that I have completely NOTHING to do, and every second seems really like minutes to me, passing so every super slowly....gosh -.-" But anyways, this internship has came a complete cycle and i'm quite glad about the whole thing (whatever i managed to learn, people i got to know and experience of a working adult at a company). Best of all, i got a free meal on my last day at work, heh heh. This feels great to me i dunch know why =P maybe cos i didnt really talk with a few of them but they chipped in for my meal too...My office people are quite nice too ya haha (yes yes, the bribery though the stomach). But sadly, my direct supervisor didnt even ask me for a meal (except the one where the whole group went but i didnt sit tgt w them too). And my previous mentor, he's gone MIA for half the time i was there. And I still tot he wasnt too bad cos he gave most of the people there the "better impression". But I guess certain people have different inside and outside work personalities..anyways, thank-you-my-office-people for the meal again! =) So here's a little photoshoot of my intern days, and here goes: My access pass *beep* *table on the first week at office* *table gradually getting messier as the days pass* *table gets filled with more stuff!* *table at its messiest with a super nice desktop dp!* Yep, so with that, my intern days are over! yipee~ i am a free man! Looking so forward to my overseas trip w derek <3 heheh now's the bidding time and i have to headache over the bid points and stuff. shucks, why always the modules i want then got so much competition..and why the dept don't wana open up more modules for bidding..wonder what will the rest of the modules prof be doing if their mods arent open then... argh..still have VIP and FYP report and research to do...shall quickly go do now before i go chu guo! Here's the personalized quote for today! =D

Me and my friend was sitting at macs, east coast, one time, and we didnt know what to say. So my friend asked another friend that had just came and said "hey, say one topic which we can talk about". After a second's thought, my another friend said "life. talk about life lorh!", and we all started laughing...haha, we came to a conclusion that life is really a big topic, involves almost everything and my another friend isn't really helping much by suggesting this topic. But the post i'm gonna write today, involves alot of stuff, and i guess, LIFE is gonna be the most appropriate title for it all.
.
In DEATH do we part...
Paradoxically, i'm gonna start on death. It is really a forbidden topic for many people, but sadly, it is also a reality that everyone faces. Life is really unpredictable, one moment you can be well, and the next, you may be down and out. In recent years, I've been to funerals more than enough times (at least to me) to be familiar with certain procedures and process. Friends or family, (Of course) i wouldn't want to go to any one funeral more than another. But it is ultimately the "last respect" one could give to anyone else who every touched their lives. Sadly, it is really the place where a lot of last respects are paid, which should really be done when the person is alive. Dead, no matter what, is so much punnier than when he/she is alive. “If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.”-Mercedes Lackey
.
The EXCLUSIVE club...
Yes, it happens everywhere. Official (like those with membership card) or not (mostly like those i encountered), they suck. s-u-c-k. yeah, don't call yourselves clique when you exclude people in the group. Friends hang out together in good times and bad. They talk about it over meals and make peace or just get used to each individual's characteristics. They don't have special clubs and then during gatherings, blame u for being the "odd one out" when they are the one that made you so. They don't keep secrets only for exclusive members, then pick on you when you can't catch up with the topic, because you don't know that in the first place. For these members, you can go on and enjoy your "privileges" because pretty soon, karma will be in your face. Anyway, it's already biting you back because you're hanging with birds of your same feathers or hair (in human context). yeah, sadly, only human betray. Even a horse knows what's loyalty (see the movie "war horse" for more info ;P).
.
FRIENDS or FOES?
It's really sad when you used to be friends with someone for a period of time, and all of a sudden, you realize things start happening and you decide you cannot stand along with the wrongs that's ongoing and decide to end the friendship for the best. Of course, its not this direct, but it's direct enough. I don't know a lot of stuff, but what I know is that I cannot stand a backstabber. By that, i don't mean the playful-backstabbing which one of my friend practices and sometimes even doesn't know she's doing it, haha. ok, back to topic. Yeah, i mean, i wonder why alot of people say they don't like this, don't like that. And the next moment, they are the ones doing it. seriously, the last time i heard, you were the one bitching to me about tralala tralala. -.-". I mean, if you're jealous you can just keep it to yourself if you're not man enough to admit. But you dont have to say how much you dislike it and then do the same thing the next moment. If you know what i mean, i meant human to human either. If you don't then just wish this thing won't happen to you, cos it's really difficult to deal with someone that's a semi fake (half real cos they are themselves when with you?). “You don't have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is.”- Red Haircrow. Why can't the concept of friends be as simple as primary school, where if we're friends, we're friends. If not, den the open declaration of "eh i don't friend you" occurs. Everything was so easy and direct then.
.
The END is just the BEGINNING...
I guess why i talked about these 3 is because i'm facing most of them is the recent years. I tend to care less on other stuff as not to get over involved in those stuff, but in the end, I can't hide from them forever. So why not make the best out of it. Treasure the people who treasure you more and do good deeds no matter what. Let others owe you instead of the other way round. Anyway, good karma will always be in your favour. Do what's right and not what people think is right. Because they may ignore you now, but for every one that ignores you, more will cheer you on. “And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.” ― Libba Bray

this week is the first milestone for my internship because...
I'M HALFWAY THROUGH IT!Yipeeeee~
Actually come to think of it, I had more to do recently so time passed much faster the last few days. I understand better what I was doing than previously but seriously, the working mood greatly depends on the boss' mood for the day i guess. I'm really confused by the way he speaks when he's laughing and joking at one meeting and the next he's hinting i'm working too slow for a job given to me a week ago, but really, our last meeting was only 2 days ago and he did witness the stuff i've done "up-till-then" and still "approved" it. But what to do, i'm only an intern there to learn whatever i can, and if it involves seeing the moods of people then so be it.
6 weeks in also means i have to quickly do my interim report that has to be handed up soon. Goodness, there's like so many things to do but so little time. And 6 weeks also mean that my holiday is half way thru. Sad that almost all my uni holidays are spent doing school related stuff. Uni life sucks.
Anyway, recently went to do CIP with my group of friends @ an senior citizens' home. It's a yearly event and we went last year and so we decided to do it again! It was more fun than the previous year as we manage to "do" some mural painting instead of painting the base coat like we did last year. And many more bizarre things happened to me during the course of the day, which includes getting SMACK by a "seemingly-gentle" old woman and having interaction difficulties with old aunties. But i guess most of them are still really optimistic people and they do not let their situation bring them down, which is really a good thing that people should learn and it will make the day a better one. But seriously, looking after parents by yourself is the best option. Even if you put your parents into the best ward (there was these 2 beds/room kinds and 6-8beds/room), the wards may have lousy service. There was unflushed shit in the toilet bowls and also shit-splatter stain on the ground. And i witness a lady being (wheelchair) pushed into her room and left there dazed while the nurses attend to others because of the help constrain. It's really sad to not be able to do anything by yourself, and ignored because they know you can't too. The woman was sitting on her wheelchair for at least 10 mins doing absolutely nothing in the same position (I dunno when they attended to her because by then, I was preparing to leave the place already). Hais, but there's only so much one can do as we don't have the financial capability and time.
So, now that father's day is coming, have you thought of how to show your appreciation yet? I know that with or w/o gifts, a simple meal will be able to make their day and let them feel appreciated of all the things they've done for us for the whole lifetime. That's how great all fathers are, and that's how great my father is =D
"Happy FATHER's Day Dad!"

Finally a better day since my intern began =)

Technology ruins everything. And since our future is technology, our future is ruined.

I guess I'm used to getting left out by my sisters...

havent been blogging since like forever, i know right. haha, so here's a little update of my life!
ever since my school holiday started, i had to seize every chance i have to enjoy maaself (esp when my internship starts in 4 days after last day of paper). And sooo, i did the following stuff...
The Avengers Straight after the paper, i went to watch the Avengers movie. It was quite good actually, especially because it was funny on top of the action packed storyline. And before the movie, i was thinking whether to buy the Avengers popcorn set for the collectable cup (I am a cup collector u see). But i thought & thought n thought and thought through it, and decided it will be a waste of money (I guess I am not a true cup collector). So, didnt buy the cup lorh..
Buttt...vioolaa, after the movie, there were 2 cups sitting right in front of us in the theatre! I did look left, look right and look left again but there was no cup owner(s) in sight. In fact the whole row was like almost empty by then. So, i guess it was a sign for me to continue my cup collection (I am a natural cup collector), and so i koped the cups and figurines (i had 2 in the end, yay!). Here's a victory picture for ya =)

. We celebrated mother's day too and my cousin's baby's first month. It was cuteness to the max over there, will post soon! Back to my boring intern tomorrow *bawhss* *tata*

Heh heh heh, finally "completed" a more personal blog style, for easier reading also! Was kinda interested in taking photos recently and I took a pic of a rainbow lolly, (and i dunno why i so contradicting but i removed all the colours except blue [of course]. On the left bottom is a picture i photoshopped (for the first time!). Not too bad huh! =D The drawing was drawn by a random artist and is inspired by a recent movie (pls guess correctly if not means the artist fail and the money is wasted), but it doesn't really resemble me lurh...zzz
But other than that, i quite like the drawing and artistic flair behind it, so *tada*, it's blogged! Enjoy the new outlook~

This story is an example of why we should count every single day as a blessing... (click on the pic to go to her blog)
Little something about this brave little girl (extracted from her blog):
"a 5-month old little girl named Avery who has an incurable disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). While SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants & children under the age of 2, most people have never heard of it, there is no cure for it, and there's minimal clinical research being done to find a cure for it. Avery has created a "bucket list" of things she'd like to accomplish before she dies"
The sad thing is, this little girl has already passed. It's really sad. Read the blog posts (which are written from the perspective of Avery) and you can find that every little thing that people take for granted is viewed as a huge accomplishment for her. She even wanted to go on the ELLEN show (woots imma big fan of ELLEN too *hi five!*) on Mayday, but she passed the day before (T.T)....
Every kid should have a childhood, and that illness took it away from her. Illness that stupid asshole. Anyways, reading on, I really liked one post of hers titled "SMA please don't take my smiles away". It's really nice to see that the illness didn't manage to take away her smiles, or at least to others that she knew. Yes and randomly, i tot of today and i believed i smiled like almost the whole way after MY LAST PAPER OF THE SEMESTER! Yes, I really can't help but just keep smiling because it feels like a really heavy weight lifted off my shoulders! Like crazy, i know. But whatever, at least i got my smile back =) And i watched 'The Avengers' today and got 2 "free" collectacups. muahaha~ Yes, why isit "free"? Because some spendthrifts left them at the theatre and with my hawk eye vision i managed to spot them and kope them before anything happens. haha really happy cause I wanted to add an avengers cup to my cup collection..and now i have 2! woots! (more reasons to smile again =D) Yay, soooo happy belated-Mayday to everyone, and here i'll leave with a quote: "The greatest wealth is health." -Virgil. So true...

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....

It's really inspiring how passion pushes some to great achievements. So follow your passion and live your dreams~

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:

(click on pic to read more!)
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:

yep, pretty satisfied with a few shots maaself *lifts head high high* haha..
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!
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― Mark Twain

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 -.-
