Its november and the semester is coming to an end...

I'm not sure if it is too fast or i just need more time, so i was really so busy this semester that i didn't realise how time flies... cliche, but true

well, after 3 months in law sch, i'm not regretting my initial decision. Although its tough and its really demanding, but i do learn a lot more and really used my brain quite a bit. It is and still will be a sleep-depriving situation, but i think i'll learn to cope with it and i hope i will have the motivation to stay on and really push my way through.

Luckily, i made really awesome friends in school and i like my class a lot... They are really a cool bunch of peepz... I'm so glad i made the choice, and i got to know a lot more people and tried a lot more new and interesting stuff ")

Hmm... feeling super stressed out these few weeks, especially so when i've gotten back some results which were devastating, like almost ground shattering kind... gosh... i really have to buck up...

Sometimes, as a way of trying to think things through in a motivational way, i would tell myself that all these things arent really that difficult, which really isn't, its just that i'm not putting in enough effort. I mean i just need to put in my effort to really work things out and i am sure i can do it.

So now, i'm rather motivated to work hard and i'll continue to do so until i can hit the target that i'm setting, to pursue a dream and not give up half-way (although many a time i thought of doing so, which i know ITS WRONG and i should never have done that).

well, on the bright side, i had super cheap azabu sabo ice cream in school. 2 scoops for $3.90 when the original price is like $5+... super cheap and i had it for 2 consecutive days... ops...

Hmmm... the financial and monetary movements around the world has been very significantly active and it seems that most of the government around the world are injecting liquidity to either stabilise their banking and credit industry or "reviving" the dying industry.

It looks a global inflationary process is en route to materialising. The 1970 Singapore situation, where a bowl of noodles, costing only a mere 10-20 cents, had inflated to around almost $3 in today's context, triggering the whole process of societal evolution, and the process of adjustments, albeit ongoing, is going for a more drastic jump forward.

Pay hike, pay rise, cost of living rising and things like that aren't just going to happen to Singapore alone. It's going to be a global phenomena. It is where in the next few years, average price of all items will probably go up by 5% to 10%? In a sense that the noodles will no longer cost $3, maybe it'll increase to $3.50 or more, it really is hard to gauge, but that is only within the next 1-2 years time... scary right?

Imagine only a few more years down the road, a bowl of noodles will easily cost $4, and subsequently, $5... Feeling the pinch already?

当你笑着找到你的相信,我会将这三个字,化作你的名字,永远放在心里。

Isn't this just such a classic phrase?

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Amidst the financial crisis, amidst everything that had happened, amidst the daily predicaments we face, i should point you people to something, that love is all around us.

我不能用理智回答,所以我问了我的心。他告诉我,不要因为害怕而不敢答应,不要因为不敢而轻言放弃。所以我的答案是。。。我确定!

I really have to blog this down, and i think its something that i have thought hard about and sincerely accord my greatest respect to them - athletes, especially those at the paralympics.

I heard it through the radio today. It was a track event at the paralympics and the runners were all on prostheses. The race began and they sprinted towards the finishing line for honour and glory. During the course of the race, one of the athlete fell and those beside her, having no choice but to finish the race for sportsmenship, accidentally scratched her face with their prostheses. She was bleeding, but still picked herself up. By then, the rest of the runners had already finished their race and all went back to where she picked herself up and cheered her on and ran with her all the way to the finishing point. I was almost brought to tears when i heard this. It just goes to show the immense humanity and love you can feel if you are over at the stadium itself. The profoundness of such is hard to fathom, but i truely and sincerely am touched by them.

If i had a chance, i would really like to train hard and join this fratenity of humanity and sportsmenship, where humans bring out the best in everyway.

Its the start of week 6 and it is still so overwhelming, well i guess then that would only mean that being super busy is an sttribute of the course.

Trying to make the best of what i have and hope that things will work out fine. The only consolation now is the fact that 绿光森林 is showing on TV. That is like my all-time favourite TV show. Even till now, i'm still up and hyped about it, not to mention that i'm still being touched by the show after like erm 3 years of watching it?

This goes to show that something you really like, will be timeless and really stand the test of time and tide.

And so it had :)

I can't believe 4 weeks of school had passed and i'm going to have my first test TODAY!... can u believe it?!?

Well, i've been diagnosed with "over-activity" and i'm advised to lay down a notch. Well, its hard when its an obligation and even harder when it becomes imperative. I've been sieged by a swarm of paper leeches, sapping my life-force away from me...

Somebody save me S.O.S!

To commemorate this day 20.08.2008, ie 20082008, beautiful doesn't it?

Well... to commemorate this day, i'm dedicating this entry to such a beautiful day... should really have posted it at 2008 hrs. It would have made more significance... welll yup... back to work

work work work

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Well, i would say that the past week had been very eventful, especially when i've made quite a few really big decisions and worked through a conundrum (well a little exaggerating), but yeah to emphasis the point.

I've decided to pay to release myself from a certain bind, to relish the freedom and pursue the course that i would so much like to embark on. After a golden opportunity (with lots of opportunity costs and of cos dilemma and irritating administrative nitty-grittys that i have to be confronted with), was presented to me, i couldn't help but try and give it a go, even it does mean a lot more work to be done.

I hope this serves to remind me the pains and promises that i made to myself and also to motivate me to persevere on... no matter the obstacle, no matter the hurdle... all the way

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

At this rate that i am delivering vittles in me, its so much more alarming than probably the rate of global warming. I can't believe that half a huge bar of cadbury, a packet of potato chips and some other little snacks reside within the extensive tracks of my digestive system.

What am i suppose to do? I replenish much more carbo and nutrients - that are going to turn into fats if i weren't going to use it, than i actually exhausted during my run on Sunday. So when will be the next run? I don't realli know given the busy schedule (top on the list of the most convenient excuse)...

Someone! Please push me towards the route of exercising and shedding unwanted droops and excess... or i'll fall prey to the temption of befriending bulimia...

Let me tell you what's HOT in town!

Everyone out there should totally catch this when its still on the big screen... Its very worth the dime AND the time spent. It's so much twist and turns, i bet it'll even surpass the meandering routes up Mount Chi-Chi. Well hold on tight to the edge of your seats, cos this is going to blow you away. For first-timers... never will you be able to fathom the preceding scene and the adrenaline just keeps on pumping. The gadget, the moves, even the costumes and the fantastical Wayne entreprise (a pity that the castle was burnt down in the first movie), prove to be a feast to the eye.

Well, another interesting fact that you should probably notice is the way Christian Bale speaks. His trademark way of speaking without actually revealing his teeth kinda intrigues people whether he actually has teeth, and when he smiles, he has the vampire-ish teeth that is so distinct, no wonder he is Batman (no Pun intended).

Ah yes... The Joker - heath ledger, did strike fear in people with his slithering tongue and his sinister laughter coupled with his excellent act, incorporating such intense psychotic-ness. It is realli a superb role well acted out... too bad he moved on, if not i would be expecting some more from him.

Oh and Rachel Dawes, shed some years off the face and you'll probably fit in better with the whole cast. Bleahx
Hmmm, some randomly random thoughts...

I actually wanted to change the blogskin to kinda bring a fresh new start of something refreshing to empower me with the motivation to include something new on it at least bidaily. But else, the inhibiting indolence in me stumped the path with such a huge rock, that i just lay and rest on it.

So, instead of just continuing resting there, might as well crave something on the rock, at least it is some change. Therefore, i've decided to explore a little of the origins of the blogskin.

Hmmm, well one thing about masquerades, is that it is one hell of a party theme. Amidst the "multicultural" diversity of the local region, we seem to lack a certain "upper east-sider" kind of lifestlye. The splurge, the fashion, the exquisites, the unfathomable luxury. Well, party has a whole new definition here than what we see. Call that americanised, but it does seem much more fun than the existing "fun".

A mask hides a million secrets, and so what's yours? What is that deep dark secret that resides deep within the layer of glamour? what is that unspeakable that awaits its day to surface beyond the dark dwelling?... That is a mystery to uncover. Perhaps the after effects of inebriation would shed some light within this darkness, but isn't there always a price to pay to know the truth? As it always is, the truth hurts... and that is also why we hide behind this masquerade...

It is always true that the higher the hopes the greater the disappointment...

Sunday, July 06, 2008

Well, i know i have not been fervently updating the blog but seriously, i do have lots of drafts stuck within the inbox waiting to be polished and uploaded... haha okie...

Well a general figure of things that is to come...
My trip to Bangkok with the Bangkies
ARTS camp as an Ocommer
My Korea trip last year (so super outdated)
My Europe trip 2 years ago ( ULTRA outdated)

and i think i might be going for SEP... as in i am not too sure about the procedure and i am not too sure if they have accepted me. I'm still lingering there. I hope i get certification soon, if not things won't probably be planned nicely.

Okie... now for my first 3 months holiday summary. I think i kinda wasted my 3 months plus being super non-productive, except for reading some stuff and spending seriously lots of money (which i have to try to earn back if i wanna have a nice SEP exp with the additional touring around europe)... Now i have around 1 month left before school starts, which means another sem of working extra harder...

Have been going out quite often for the past few days, tried many different stuff and yeah it was fun-filled, but sinful(both monetary and physically, cos of all the good food), so my resolution is to exercise a lot more!

Sunday, April 06, 2008

Well, its another season of mugging and busy planting the seeds, awaiting its harvest. It seems that i do have not much time to realli mug, so i am super determined to stay away from all the unwanted distractions... which necessarily equates to lesser computer, lesser TV and lesser of all the stuff that isn't healthy for mugging.

Oh well, that's my resolution for the month of april through early may.

Friday, March 28, 2008

It realli feels good to know that what you have been doing is moving the right way and is harvesting... well not exactly full load yet... but at least almost there. I guess this is the motivation i need to work work work and chiong ar...

Wednesday, March 05, 2008

okie... i left off somewhere ard CNY... yeah haha

Hmm... nothing much, had ICT for like over a week sparsely... yeah and i think it took the toll out of me... i was sick for like a month... yes a MONTH... can't be help especially when you are not the type that would fall sick easily, cos once you have it, it's gonna be serious... haha

I guess i am still suffering side effects of it... i can't biao all the high notes yet... well maybe i still need time for my throat to recover... and guess what... i was playing with my throat the other day and i found something squashy at the voice box area... cool haha...

its the mid terms and mid sem break... busy busy.. have got 4 mid terms to tackle... luckily, its over... so now i am only left with date lines and finally the finals... so must jia you... up till now, the results that i've received aren't satisfactory so i have to like work and work and work... jia you all the way although i kinda slacked right after the mid terms...

Anyway... if you are free you should totally listen to Leona Lewis newest single - footprints in the sand... VERY TOUCHING...

Gong Xi ar Gong Xi...


Happie Lunar new year... Its the year of the Rat... It's wonderful to welcome a brand new cycle of the zodiac and a whole new start... I sincerely hope that the year of the rat would be a super wonderful year for me and everybody...


Well, CNY this year is kinda quiet for me since i couldn't go pai nian and i'm like at home the whole day. I tot it was fine since i shou shui till like almost six on chu xi and tried out on my newest wine konnyaku recipe... nice... if you all really slow down ur 步伐,and take a good look ard, you will find that there are quite a lot of activity for u to engage in even when you are alone, or even by just staying at home...

Basically, i played mahjong excessively and so many different kinds of card games. Its realli a wonder how many kinds of games u can actually play with just 52 cards... wow... and munching on all the snacks and couching all day long... i realli makes me wonder if my tummy is gonna bulge and that will be like EWwW... so I'm gonna execute Plan "Flabba-loss"... not that i got flabs... just a preventive measure... i do still have a good body i can assure that... haha

Well, 4 days of CNY whizzed past just like that... like so very fast, and i havent realli gotten out of the woozy mood yet... shucks... and i'm ever so craving for mahjong... All my Xiong Di Peng Yous in mahjong... miss ya... haha

I hope for the next family gathering to come round... it is ever so nice to be around frens and relatives... so wen xin...

Happie New Year... 鼠年万事通,好运红彤彤。

Oh my... after so long, den its my 200th quality, sohpisticated entry.

Well, so many birthdays during Jan... Happie birthday all Januarites!

OKie... motivation for this entry... COFFEE PRINCE. Its another addition to my library of favourites. Oh My... i love the story and plot. It so "non-contractual", literary something more than the Korean Use-to shows. Its just so nice. Its like when you watch it, it warms your heart, every little thing is so detailed, it forces you to look at the details but it is not so overwhelming that it drowns you in them, instead it pricks you like little cupid arrows, making it sooooooo heart-warming. Its another culture and another perspective to look into dimensions that aren't that fantastically sprawled all over in words within books that we can pick up and read. It is realli looking thru the heart and understanding that, that brings culture near to one's appreciation.

People, watch Coffee Prince, i strongly recommend it, like recommending Britney Spears to Wilhemenia slater for counselling sessions. Betty, betty, betty betty bet...ty.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Well... sch started and the week b4 sch starts is rather busy but kinda enriching.

Picked up an exchange student from the states and got to know another one from UK. Brought them out for a walk in a typical Singaporean neighbourhood and helped them get their daily stuffs. Its realli nice to learn things from them that we do not usually come across in Singapore and the diff cultures in different countries. Its really funny to see the expressions and reactions from local who come in contact with them, the stereotype of a caucasian hasn't faded at all even thru the decades of transformation.

That aside, celebrated Aloy's and Sc's birthday, hoped they enjoyed it cos its heart and soul planning yeah...

And i've spent A BOMB on textbooks and i guess its not just gonna stop there. I think i'll spend around $200-ish kinda money... ARGH my bank is emptying itself...

Friday, January 04, 2008

It is just so nice to spend a special day with just good friends around. There is this feeling of being blessed and secured, like being among pple you can realli trust and be so comfortable around with.

I'm so glad to be enjoying all these... Thanks gang!

Well its another year, another birthday, another step towards my future life. I do think i've matured and take things from a different prespective. Well... i do hope i've grown for the better... haha

Well, no matter how things go... i hope this year would be a better year for me and no matter wad comes to me, no matter wad obstacle i'm determined to surmount and triumph over any at all... of cos i'd hope it will be smooth sailing...

So happie birthday to me and thanks to all those who wished me and remembered... realli appreciate it...

And thanks to royston, soo chin, shu fen, aloy and wee keong for that realli memorable count down to my birthday... I'm realli touched and for those who wanted to be there but realli can't like Joel, Alvin, George... I'm realli appreciative for ur sms and presence... realli... its the company that matters... thanks for the present and planned day today... realli loved it and thanks to yong kwang for the present too... thanks u all ")

Its always so nice to feel special on this special day...

心动是什么感觉?

是小鹿乱撞?是心花怒放?

是看到喜欢的人会双脚发软,手心脚心都冒冷汗?

是无法把双眼的注意力从她身上拔下吗?还是还是老套的想与他共度一生,和她分享生命的每一天?

我想心动呀,或许是最单纯的付出,即使是偷偷的喜欢,或是无知的喜欢。感觉就好像是最简单的安慰,最普通的问候,都是甜滋滋的。

那是恋爱吗?
