A short one
A short one since I am suppose to be still rushing stuff out
An interesting conversation with my mum last night
I was napping after I reached home (after a day of work) before dinner.
Just before dinner:
me: I feel like I'm like dad in the past.... sleeping before dinner
mum: Yup... you are like your dad's family
me: why (leh)?
mum: your dad and auntie will take naps whenever they have time
me: ohhh.... must be genetics.
Hurr hurr......
The perfect reason to blame most health issues on. =P

As per the previous post, I am thinking about planning a trip to USA this year. I am sure there are loads of people who have told you about their experience in planning trips.. But I was just wondering.... since I am rather free and have not much to do... I shall share my experiences while doing my research....
p/s: I am definitely not an expert in planning trips though I have managed to pull off a few without major incidents....
I will not give you details on what you should do or how you should do it since I am sure everybody has their preference towards things that they would like to do and I have not travelled to these places myself. And.... if you are thinking that it is too much a hassle to plan your own trip.... there are always tour agencies standing by to assist you.... For me, I think they are usually too constricted for me.... because I love to laze around and just do what I want to do. I am not a go getter when travelling because I prefer to enjoy the unexpected than to tick off "must-do-for-tourists" places. To say the least, I did not even see a koala bear or kangaroo during my last Australia trip. (and these are, in my opinion, the perfect excuses to go back to these places in the future)
Task 1:
Number of people travelling
Reason: It will usually determine what kind of transport and accomodations you are probably going take during the trip. I feel that the larger the number, the more difficult the travelling will become because everybody have their own opinions and preference to things they would like to do. The fact that they are spending quite a big sum of money to travel usually amplifies their willingness to share their opinion.
This trip: Looking at around 6 people but I generally plan for 2 as I plan to go ahead with the plan even if others do not want to join for various reasons (i.e. expensive, can't take leave, things that they do not like to do and the lists goes on). I recognize that people do back out (and very often too) and if I have to go through all these research and abandoning the travel plan.... I will be rather upset and become unmotivated to plan.
Task 2:
Duration and budget
Reason: For obvious reasons, these are things will determine the number of places you will go and almost everything (food, travel, accomodations). But for me, it's usually a guide for me to work on so that I am aware of how much to work with.
This trip: Around 2 weeks and budget of SGD5000 (it is a tight budget we are looking at because the flight tickets alone could deduct the amount by 30-40%. In the back of my mind... I am thinking to travel to both east coast and west coast (san francisco, las vegas, los angeles, new york etc) or west coast and texas (distinct cowboy culture I guess.... a farmstay might be nice). To me, a stay of 2-3 days per city will be sufficient do most of the things in the place before you get sick of it. so for me 2 weeks translates to 14 days and thus I can travel comfortably around 4 to 6 places.
Task 3:
General research
Unless the folks you are travelling with already have an idea of what to do and where to go, I think it's a good idea to look through other people's travels/ travel plans to give you an idea of what you would like to do. I wouldn't recommend any specific websites because I generally google USA 14 days travel plans and browse randomly but one website keeps popping up: Yahoo Travel Trip Planner. Quite interesting place to navigate. Currently at this stage... Shall update soon!

Last of 2012
Welcome to the last of 2012 and I am still alive to type this entry...
Anyways, I was looking at a gizmodo post and a recent article in the newspaper with regards to technology.
Technology has definitely become part of our society. Without it, we are lost and I would say unable to function properly and efficiently. Gone are the days where we give coins to the bus conductor (however, technically speaking.... a bus should be some form of technology too but let's not dwell on that) or write on a piece of paper ( I thought long for this). Yes... I am not only talking about the internet. I think many have forgot the embrace the fact that technology doesn't only encompass internet, social media and phone. Just thought I should pen this down because I am trying to be clever or at least look clever (and hopefully witty). laugh if you want... bet some (if not all) have overlooked and think in their mind "I know these already...." but actually forgot until I mentioned it.
However, having said that, I am going to talk about internet, social media and phone because I start to get frustrated with the above mentioned. I am not going to say whatrubbish things people write on the internet and the social media because I simply love reading them. Mind you... I stalk follow people pretty badly on facebook to the point that I wake up reading through status updates before I get out of bed. Maybe that is the source of my frustration.... because I constantly feel the need to know what is happening even though technically.... it doesn't actually concern me and why should I give a shit of what people are doing. But yes... I think that I am actually addicted to it unless I am forcefully taken away from the internet (for eg. going on a holiday where the hotel charges outrageous internet fees that I can probably eat quite a good meal with it). It is not that I get frustrated when I do not get to connect to the internet or go through withdrawal symptoms like craving for internet or vomit (okay.. I am just trying to be funny again.) I actually felt relief that I do not have to constantly check my phone for updates. It is a little weird for me cause my rationale mind tells me that just do it if you want to, why are you giving a shit about controlling your urge to stalk follow people. People get really happy when others follow them.... I can literally vouch for that... hahaha... (I think I am in a general mood to irritate people today so if you are already unhappy or feel that you want to challenge for what I have said... please continue feeling so because I can actually do nothing to you.) Currently, I feel myself constantly getting distracted and need to do something on my phone all the time.
So for starters to curb my addiction, I have taken off the shortcut to my facebook and twitter from my phone. Hopefully, this will make me go on these media less often because I am generally very lazy to go through a lot (of inefficiencies) to get my things done. That probably leads another of my frustrations.... getting impatient with all the inefficiencies in life like why people like to walk/drive so slowly and hog up the whole area.... So in order not to stress and irritate myself further, I will choose to go at their pace. Life seems a little easier when you match up with inefficient people.
So kudos to inefficiencies in 2013 and hopefully I will become happier when I start becoming less efficientand also less of a stalker.

Meaningful
While watching a show last night, something that the host said that was rather meaningful.
"When you work with someone, see whether they are professional and not whether you like or dislike them, because your objective is to get the work done"

Myer Briggs
Basically in Singapore, the popular test that everybody might already know is the DISC assessment where you are grouped into 4 major groups, namely dominant, inducement, submission and compliance. Everybody will have at least one dominant group while having a secondary characteristic. I took this test when I was in secondary school as well as junior college and was rather upset by the results (they yield the same result). There are inherent points that I could not agree on for the descripton of the trait that I was bestowed and it did bother me for a while.
As I grow older (and hopefully wiser), I have gotten to terms of the category that I am put into and didn't think too much about it. A friend later recommended for me to try myer briggs as she felt that it is pretty accurate and could let me understand myself more. From the results, I think it gave me a little more insight than DISC as there are 16 categories based on permutation of 4 different traits. I found myself nodding to the descriptions that were described so I guess it is pretty accurate or at least more accurate than DISC. I talked to a psychology major friend of mine and she mentioned to me that the personality assessment is based on very bizarre theories that she could not accept (similar to Sigmund Freud). Whatever it is, give it a try if you seek to find out more about yourself.
P/s: I just did a Hartman personality test and it mentioned things that I find surprisingly true for myself.

Christmassss 2012
Post merry christmas to all!!!
Had a wonderful barbeque on the eve of christmas.... Whatever happened to 平安夜 has basically gone into smoke (pun intended).
Anyway, I will spare you the details of the barbeque since there isn't anything particularly out of the world or different from other barbeque and I did not take any photos during the session but it was really nice as we were able to stay till around 1am without being chased off by the security guards. I am definitely looking forward to the hotel stay next week to celebrate new year's eve and take note not to drink too much. hahhaa...
I also came to realize that I haboured quite a bit of unhappiness this year and hope that it will dissipate during the new year. I finally have came to the conclusion that
1) Things are not perfect and they are not meant to be perfect. What we need to do is to perservere and make the best out of the situation.
2) You have only yourself to fight for your rights so if you give it up yourself, nobody will help you. If you try hard enough, there might be someone who will assist you in the process.
3) Passion is an overrated word. Do what you want to do and keep improving on it. Someday.... you will get there.
4) Come to terms with yourself. If you don't, you will struggle a lot and feel lost. But that doesn't mean that you stop at where you are because you are only at the starting point of the race.
5) What others tell you is one thing, how you feel about it yourself is another. Never let another undermine you because it only serve to make them feel good but listen and make your own judgement.
Have a good break during this time folks and hopefully I will be able to do something that I like and excel in it.

Tether issues
I was just wondering whether anybody is having tethering issues after upgrading to version 4.1.1 (android)
It used to be a breeze to connect to my laptops using wifi but now, I can detect the network but unable to connect to the internet. Using the usb doesn't work as there is a constant pop up error message from my phone.
I can't install anything into the laptops as they are company laptops.
It has been bothering me for a while so anybody with sound advice is welcome to comment.
Thanks in advance!!

Day 3
After which... we went up to Mount Dandenong to eat at Miss Marples (yes I mean the character who is a detective and I know I am being repetitive).... highly hyped after for their tea and scones. I didn't take pictures in the teahouse as it was rather packed and I felt awkward to take pictures. The fingers are really good... when I said fingers... it is not your actual fingers or finger food like fish and chips or calamari. It actually look like this... I guess it is some kind of dough with the cheese melted and alfalfa sprouts. I usually don't eat alfalfa sprouts as it's really "green" but I thought it complemented well here.
Disclaimer: I got this from their website: http://www.missmarples.com.au/#
Had frenchtoast for brekkie and it was tasty. However, having said that, I still prefer banana bread that I had on the first day (memory failing me at this point of time and I had to retrieve my password for dropbox)... anyways, this was how it looked like. I still finished it and couldn't eat the brunch at Miss Marples.
Disclaimer: I got this from their website: http://www.missmarples.com.au/#
The scones are really overhyped.... so I rather you eat the fingers than the scones.... The tea is pretty good but not it's not out of the world... sorry.... I gotta tell the truth....
It was rather squeezy but still bearable... I guess they really want to give people the cozy kind of feeling or maybe make some reference to the book. Here's the exterior of the tea house....
Feeling kind of lazy so shall continue next time

silkair vs sia
my dad brought up this topic when he was driving me to the airport.
i told him... actually, they offer about the same kind of service but it was a pride issue. personally, I do feel that sia steward/stewardess generally have more confident and pride in their work as compared to the silkair stewardess (dont recall there are silkair steward for the flights i took). maybe it's the way they handle difficult customers (not heeding safety procedures like switching off the phone) that made me feel this way or maybe it's my own biasness towards the aircraft.
note to self: people do feel it when you have pride in your work.

slept almost immediately upon reaching the hotel...
the room is pretty good despite the somewhat dodgy exterior...
the pro - there is internet connection, think it is connected to a shopping mall but didnt explore as i reached the hotel at 10 plus
the cons - view from hotel is blocked, no breakfast provided
will choose the hotel that i frequent... heehee

December 01, 2012
I just wanted to blog about it because I want to keep it as a memory. I did not take a lot of pictures as I was simply lazy.... Really happy that I met up with my friends living in Aussie as I was trying not to be too touristy.... but I think it ended with me not doing important things like seeing a real life kangaroo and koala bear.
On the first day when I arrived in melbourne after travelling for 8 hours on emirates (oh... talking about emirates.... I think they have more leg space than SIA and their fare is quite reasonable. Note to self to book that in the future), I met up with my friend who insisted that I should start looking around the city right away. So we went to have brunch at one of the cafes. I ordered some mushroom pasta which I don't really like and it ended up him finishing 1.5 plate of food. Frankly, I prefer the lasagna that he ordered. hahaha....
Next up, we went to take a look at the state library which was pretty spacious and very well sectioned. I went to look around at some ongoing exhibitions in the library that are not too draining.... I didn't know that older biology books, they actually have illustrations for the animals or plants beside the description. It is at least a B4 sized book and the illustration spans for the whole page and it was coloured. I also remembered that I saw the religious text that was carved on pretty thin wood bark. It was pretty impressive.
We proceeded to drink coffee at this cozy cafe which had pretty good coffee I thought. I forgot the name but I am sure in times of need, I should be able to ask my friend. whahaha..... we had the ice coffee and the vanilla ice cream was soooo good~~~
At night, we met up with his friend and went to a Greek restaurant. I am rather open to go to "out of norm" restaurants but somehow, Greek restaurant gives me that feeling that I am going to have to eat a lot of feta cheese (I am not a cheese fan so it slightly bothered me). But it turned out that I was wrong... there wasn't really a lot of feta cheese and all the dishes are pretty refreshing and minty.
Somehow, I took a picture of the menu and the place.
So the night ends for Day 1.
We proceeded to go to 2 other vineyards. I really liked a Shiraz from Seville estate that I bought it immediately... It was nice sharing it with my family as they liked it as well.
How could I forget to blog about the tasty banana cake I had in the morning. I think I start to understand why my bf's mum love to make banana cakes. She must have had really good ones when she was in Aussie.
The night ended with a good dinner, oyster shots, johnny walker blue label (I still prefer martell cordon bleu) and a long stroll as wanted to save up on the taxi fare. I really like to take long strolls in cold countries as you get to enjoy the surroundings without getting sweaty and uncomfortable.
End of Day 2~

When I see the queue at Malaysia customs, I am glad that I am still a Malaysian...
I think my parents are really not very comfortable with me going to and fro Malaysia that often (average maybe 1-2 times a month) and the fatigue just adds up... hahaa.... not to mention I have been involved in chats (aka meetings) that I am not suppose to be in because they are still trying to find a replacement for my manager for 2 months~~

nuffnangx
as many who follows bloggers or Twitter might already know... today is the launch of nuffnangx. my guess that it combines the social media into one platform is incorrect but I'm still impressed (even though I think it has crashed and still recovering or maybe it's my internet connection) hahaha
but anyway, really smart idea but think they will still need a little tad more time to resolve various issues like unable to claim your blog intuitively or clicking on any options will lead you to set up your newsfeed.

August 12, 2012
I had a lot of inspiration to blog yesterday because I have been seriously thinking that I am currently wasting my time.... surfing face *stalking people in general*, reading through famous people's blog, looking at twitter and updating the most mundane things of my life (not to mention that I dreamt that my family dog got slaughtered alive and I saw the slicing of the thigh. Oh god..... don't ask me why I have such dreams and never in my life do I want to do such a thing to the dog... I even cried in real life - which in turn woke me up)
Anyways, yes... I am bothered by the fact that I am not doing anything productive in my life - like wasting my time doing this blog as well. Worse of all I think I do not know what I really want to do. I am not a person with a *happening* life. I just like to lie on the bed, read some facebook updates, nap a little, eat when I'm hungry and continue with my life. I don't really like to complain or bitch about other people because I see no value in doing that and it reflects bad on me.
I am however thinking whether I can better manage my finance so that I can spend more comfortable. One day when I was going home, I was thinking..... damn.... should I just take a taxi, it will shorten the trip by half the time.... but when I got off the taxi, I realized I have spent 10 times the amount that I would have spent on public transport for shortening a trip by about half the time. It's not that I cannot afford it and will go hungry after it but it's just whether it was worth spending that money. Money spent so not much more to ponder about anymore.
I decided that maybe... just maybe I should really do some research on investment.... however, I do lack the motivation because I am just a person who is lazy in the first place - Not that anybody care except myself. I decided that I should blog about it..... the journey of my investment discovery.... so that I have more motivation to find materials to blog about and benefits me by having me to recall the things I have read through. I don't know how far I will go about blogging it or how long I can sustain. but I think this beats writing about mundane things in my life and not having any productive information going into my brain. lol

I decided that maybe... just maybe I should really do some research on investment.... however, I do lack the motivation because I am just a person who is lazy in the first place - Not that anybody care except myself. I decided that I should blog about it..... the journey of my investment discovery.... so that I have more motivation to find materials to blog about and benefits me by having me to recall the things I have read through. I don't know how far I will go about blogging it or how long I can sustain. but I think this beats writing about mundane things in my life and not having any productive information going into my brain. lol

Although it has been repetitive, but... OH AM GEE.... It's August already. I don't even recall what did I do in July.
I vaguely remember watching the semi finals for table tennis and heard that Malaysia lost to China for badminton. Not much emotions evoked because I lack patrotism (the bad of being a PR? maybe?). But interestingly, the reaction by Singaporeans towards the bronze win is varsely different from that of Malaysians towards to the silver win. I think it only goes to show how much foreign talent can bring glory to the country even though it has been like 50 odd years since Singapore won anything in the Olympics and I take it that FTW has converted citizenship in order to represent Singapore. I remotely think that Singaporeans are generally pissed that they are footing the 250,000 bill as well as the president's flight to london to support them. In case you are caught unaware, that's the prize for FTW for winning bronze. In the case of LCW, people are consoling him and thanking him for uniting Malaysia for a span of maybe 1 hour or 2? Maybe LCW should become the prime minister for Malaysia ( sorry.... I am just joking). Lin Dan's comments were inappropriate though.... saying that LCW has to face immense pressure because for china, they can still win gold for the badminton doubles whereas this match is the only hope for Malaysia to get a gold medal. I really don't know whether the comment serves to justify that LCW didn't perform (because of the heavy responsibility that he has to undertake) or plainly bragging about China's ability to win gold medals. Anyways, at least both won a medal.

Time passes so fast.... It's already July!! Can you believe it!!
Anyways, my travels have died down (phew~~~). No more crazy travelling schedule anymore!
Picked up reading again.... And have been furiously reading.....
Also completed my first round of D3 but the equipment changing are driving me crazy so glad that bf is happily taking over that part of the game. Not sure whether I will continue to train until lvl 60. Heez....
May be picking up tuition again.... And seriously thinking of getting a car if I am able to earn some extra income from the tuition. Will definitely be better for me and bf so that we can have total control of our travels and the fact that we probably will really need it.
Anyway, there will be a new contender for the car soon. Hope that she can pass the first time round, nevertheless. =P

The moment I saw the caller ID, my heart sank. I had a bad omen due to the nightmare I have had yesterday but silently wished that it didn’t come true. Tears flow down after I hung up the phone. I don’t know why too… I mean it was kinda expected but yet experiencing it is a totally different thing. The reality setting in is unbearable. I wished things were different. It is just painful… too painful not to hear your voice. Promise me you will never do it again.

A comment from bf sparked my thoughts… On why I am not close to my cousins... It is not about blaming or not being sociable or being ostracized. I guess we just didn’t click or maybe different frequency. Actually, it will be incorrect to say that we didn’t spend time together because when we were young, we actually meet quite frequently, like fortnightly at least. So it makes me wonder too. I guess I am more comfortable to be not talking, as alwaysm and sticking to the aunties and mum more than my cousins.
I guess I am weird after all. Hurr hurr….

As I am reading everybody’s facebook posts and blogs, I think it will be nice for me to reflect on what has happened in 2011.
In the first 3 months, I was still getting over my past relationship. The turmoil that I had to go through was horrendous… Crying until 4am every day and questioning my worth and what I have done wrong.
In the next month, I got together with someone whom I thought will be suitable for me. However, things did not work out because we have too much differences and the awkwardness between us pushed me to make the cut. I had really wanted it to work.... but it’s really just too hard.
In the next month, I got together with someone else again….. unexpectedly. It was totally unplanned for but I guess the chemistry between us made the situation a lot less awkward. Even though I knew him for a really really short time before we got together, everything worked…. magically. We communicated a lot…. Talking about our expectations, our pasts, our goals…. And I have to say… we have a lot in common in terms of our outlook.
Being in this relationship made me suddenly realized that when one person is really in love with another, they will always include their partner in everything they do. It’s not to show that they are attached or just to have someone as a companion (so that they won’t be bored). It is the urge to share everything they are going through with someone they love and wanting them to be part of the joy. I really enjoyed joining his friends to chill and do activities and I believe he did enjoy spending time with my friends as well. I also really appreciate the fact that he is willing to make the effort to communicate with my family and really glad that his family invites me over for dinner celebrations too! Of course, we both have to deal with issues that cropped out once in a while.
Another important event that happened to me was the change of job. It was really tough to make the cut as I was getting really comfortable with the company and sort of the “senior” (due to the amazingly high turnover rate of the company). But I decided to move on… as I think I am a believer that one cannot be too comfortable with the company and I really need to fast track my career. So far, I have started new things again and I have made a promise to myself to be able to show my competency so that more projects can be delegated to myself. We shall see whether I am able to achieve this goal by the end of this year.

A rush of terror gone through my bones when I couldn't locate my phone....
Wish me luck to survive today without my phone... no pvz, fb, safari while on the train rides....
The fear is starting to overwhelm me even before I step out of the house....
I really wonder how we survived in the past without the phone.

我相信。。。
每个人都有属于她的人，我似乎找到那个属于我的傻瓜。
非常开心，非常快乐。
只是心理的某一处默默的希望这一切不是幻觉。
我想应该是时候改变我这个悲观的坏习惯了。
如果还有人在看我的部落格，我将很快展开新的开始，祝我好运喔！(^^p)

Weird
It's weird why something in my everyday life keeps challenging me; when all I want is a simple life.
August 29, 2011
I believe that things happen for a reason.... Whether it is a good or a bad one is another matter altogether.
Having talk the issues yesterday made me think about issues that is bottling up in me. I am glad to have talked it out and venting out my frustration of the various things in my life.
I should really start thinking about my priorities.

It's weird when I am advising another, knowing exactly how she thinks, knowing exactly what is the outcome and knowing what is the logical thing to do to resolve the situation and Yet, I am caught in the same situation with her, unable to move on completely with my life.
I guess it's like a turtle who has broken free after getting caught in the net. You know exactly how horrible it felt to be caught in the net, you went through hell and nearly drowned when struggling to break free. You felt the sense of relief when you broken free, swearing to yourself that you will never ever go near the net.
You will be enjoying your life thoroughly, exploring the new things on the other side of the net, trying out new adventures. But one day, without warning, you saw the fishes that you dreamt of eating and memories of swimming at the other side of the net. The worse thing is that you no longer feel that the net is so taunting anymore.
This is what I call stupidity. Thorough stupidity.......

Random questions that pop out of my head
Why things happen? Is it for a reason?
Why bother about what people think? Is it not enough to just think for yourself?
What does life mean to you? Another journey without joy?
I wish that sometimes, I have answer to this questions.... Maybe I will feel better and lead a happier life.

Happiness
I got hurt, blamed and scarred......
Will I ever recover???
I ponder a lot.... I ask myself is it possible to find happiness and strength to carry on?
I'm not sure
I don't know
I will never know......
It is scary when you don't know what your heart feels anymore......
Really scary..... Very afraid.....

There are times in your life that you feel uncertain, worried and not knowing which direction you should be heading. There isn't any reason why it happened or you are simply unaware of it.
Maybe I have taken things for granted, maybe i thought that by keeping myself busy will help me get over all these uncertainties. But when I sit alone, trying to figure out the question of "What next?", I find myself in a situation where there are no answers to my question. I start to think hard of what it is, start to reflect what have I done in the past to get me through my life. I am fearful, with each step of my life and every stepping stones looking a little shaky, I tread carefully, fearing that one day I might fall into a deep waters that surround the stones. When I look back, there are points in my life where I thought to myself "I could have done better, I should have.... I could have...." My life is constantly surrounded by thoughts like this which makes feel nervous whenever I make the next decision.
It sucks to know that nobody can help in this situation and I guess my life will continue to be like on a balancing beam.

Managed to get my dad's car for a day as my parents went to kukup. =D
It was quite an experience as I needed to do U turn quite a lot of times >_< but managed to get to workplace in the end. Unfortunately, I had to be drive in the rain without my parents beside me. It is rather stressful but the only comfort is that all the drivers around me is driving safely so there wasn't any surprises for the drive.
I also realised that getting a car is super expensive and I won't be getting one in the near future. Parking is already killing me in one day. =(
I am also starting to attend the course in NYP. Met someone from NUS so it is really fortunate!!!!! HAHAHAHA...... it's good to be back to school and I am glad that I feel this way (in case I still have dreams to do my masters). Hopefully, this will be sustainable throughout the whole course. Muahahhaa.....

As my contract passed the half year mark, everybody is asking me to find another job already. I am always reluctant to do such stuff because I find it a hassle to look for jobs. I am quite sure that I won't get a higher position if I stayed on and I do ask myself whether I want to remain in this position and the answer is obvious. Not that I want to be unloyal that but it really doesn't make sense for me to stay on and I should seriously let others have the opportunity >_<. Need to tidy up my CV and start to do searches on those search engines and major related companies. Hopefully I can find a boss like the current one... I really like the environment in the current company and I think I won't be so lucky next time round.
Maybe planning for an overseas trip (again!) but I do wonder which are the places that I want to go man. Anyway, it will be Europe (it's as if I can get so much money to do another trip). I will plan out the budget and see how everything goes. On a side note, I realised that I am quite hesitant in going to South-East countries like Vietnam and Thailand (can you believe it?!!). I don't know why but I am really worried about the language barrier (not that I can speak German or Italian in any case). So many things to do yet have so little amount of cash at hand. ARGH.......

Feeling tired restless worried all at the same time. I guess stress is always building up and I am just not catching up!!!!
Watched the nightmare before christmas. It's really interesting and I can see that Tim Burton must have put in A LOT of effort just to do this movie. I think I might catch the other stories if they are on sales. heehee.....
Update:
Sembawang music if officially closed (not that I care since I don't even own 1 cd. Hmmmm..... On second thoughts, maybe I did own some cds before but not sure what is it)
A 18 year old got killed by bf? It looked quite violent since there are stabs at very major organs. Poor girl......
HDB sales figure in red?!!! I seriously don't believe!!!
Need to lose some weight!!!

In the end, I did nothing at all..... But it's quite a nice feeling to slack around, do nothing, thinking about nothing and playing my restaurant city..... hahahaha...... Life is about enjoyment, work, or passion? I wonder???
Oh ya... Managed to get in contact with my friend... Glad she is alright although she must be going through a tough time with all the therapies that she needs to undergo to kill all the bad cells that is still within her. Jiayou to her!!!

I think my stress level has gone up again because all the students I teach are going through either 'O', 'N', PSLE or streaming.
Sometimes, I feel that i am more stressed than them.... HAHAHA.....
Really thinking very hard on how to help them through one of the many hurdles in their lives but nothing seems to work out everytime. hahaha.....
Found mozarella cheese (authentic soft ones) and chocolate from Dove. Sasa if gonna be so excited.... I think I should give her a surprise someday by bringing the two items when I stay over at her house. heehee.....

While I was logging to use my blogsite as the link to other blogs, I realised the template I was using can't be used anymore... Oh well..... I shall just stick with the standard template that I have.
Just an update where I am not doing much..... Same old job, same old tuition..... everything is pretty much the same.... Erms..... maybe except my weight.... the pantry has such good snacks that I keep going to pantry to get some hot milk tea from lipton and some jap sesame snack..... really have to watch it for now man!!!
Oh ya....Yesterday had a really bad gastric though.... It's the first time in my life where I felt my limbs go soft and even feel like vomitting. Sad enough, have to leave the gathering first and didn't have my cheesecake. I think I should have some food in my bag just in case this happens again. (even though it conflicts the previous paragraph)
May be having a bbq soon.... Hopefully, it will materialise.... hahaha.... It's still in the planning stages though.... I am pretty excited actually. heehee.... :P
That's all for now.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
Verdict: True. I don't know about people liking me though
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Verdict: I know I am serious but smart and determined? Hmm..... I like my small eyes!!!!
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
Verdict: Yes.... Indeed
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Verdict: How do you fall in love beautifully???
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
Verdict: Unfortunately, I didn't do well
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
Verdict: ???? I don't think they are giving me any answers.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
Verdict: Hope so~~~
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Verdict: I think people who likes me will need to know this. HAHAHA....
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
Verdict: Confidence??? hahaha.....

Virgin Drive:
I have decided to blog my virgin drive today. Was driving mum and dad to sembawang today and when I started reversing from the parking lot, I reversed too earlY and nearly hit the car beside me!! Fortunately, I was going at a very slow speed and managed to stop in time. :) I realised that I always turned too late. :P
First vertical parking was quite alright, definitely above my expectation. The route to Bishan (tuition) was also smooth.
Also drove in the afternoon for lunch and there was a little hiccup as a motorbike was quite near my car just now. My parents were also a little worried about the speed I am going (being a new driver with 0 day of experience). They felt that it was too fast.. hahaha.... (when I was going at 70km/h 0_o!!!) However, my car slanted when doing the vertical parking at home and my dad helped me correct the slanting problem.
It's quite a stressful but I have fun. Definitely will drive in the future. Hopefully can drive on my own soon~~~ =P

My parents were also a little worried about the speed I am going (being a new driver with 0 day of experience). They felt that it was too fast.. hahaha.... (when I was going at 70km/h 0_o!!!) However, my car slanted when doing the vertical parking at home and my dad helped me correct the slanting problem.
It's quite a stressful but I have fun. Definitely will drive in the future. Hopefully can drive on my own soon~~~ =P
The thing to announce is that I have PASSED my driving test!! hahaha..... Was really a surprise since I heard that normally people don't pass the first time and I am beyond stress!!!! The instructor that taught me before the test ask me to stop sighing and the warm up instructor said the same thing!!
But the tester looks really nice so I had a lot more confidence and didn't do any mejor mistakes. *Heng*
Anticipating to have my virgin drive today!!!

Life can change this fast and I suddenly understand why people called life unpredictable.
It's really upsetting when one is healthy one day and passed on on the other. I really feel the need to live life to the fullest. I pray that my auntie and cousin will find peace and really hope that things will get better for the big family as a whole.
Last year had been a tormenting year for the family and I hope it won't get worse this year.
Sometimes, I feel the need to educate people on how to handle emergency situations even when I do not know much. Each passing moment means life and death in this kind of situation and one must react the right way so that to have a better chance of survival. I felt that something can be done to prevent all this but it was too late.
It seemed unreal but at the end of the day, you would realise that it's not a dream. I cannot imagine how everybody will overcome this in the end.
I really hope it is all but a dream.....

oh my god... it has been nearly one month since I blogged.
Everything is going quite alright..... I have started working in a super low level job but aiya.... I think I will just enjoy the moment of doodling with calendar and uploading pictures. Slacker's job!!! I got so many things to buy lo but insufficient funds to do so.
Tuition is piling up like crazy cause I have like 5 tuitions squeezed into the 2 miserable weekends but two of the students want their June holiday, which is essentially good for me because I can kind of rest for around one month. Cousin is going to join in soon (which makes a total of 6 tuitions!!!) and
something really touching happened:
The mother of one of the students actually messaged me today to thank me for teaching her son as his grade improved quite a lot from the first term. I can sense a tinge of relief from her and I'm really glad that my efforts paid off.
Started drawing anime eyes and I really love what I drew!! I hope that the fire won't dwindle!!!
Reading the assassin's quest by Robin Hobb. I think I found a treasure!!!
Lastly, TP on 14/7. * praying super hard to get a pass *
Summary = Super busy with no life but SURPRISINGLY fulfilling

Happy Labour Day in advance!!! ( for those who are working/ studying)
Anyways, many decisions were in place for me to make these days and I guess I have made the best decision based on probability.
I always told myself that I should be more realistic in expectations and not think of the impossible. I do feel it is a rare opportunity that would probably not come again but I guess I should just move on. I shall not regret the decision that I make even though I really wanted it but can't have it due to the situation.
That's all.... more to come when I feel a little better

To guys who always complain that girls are spending too much money on saloon to do their hair
Why does head hair grow to great length whereas body hair doesn't? Nobody knows exactly, but some anthropologists believe the purpose of long head hair is to give you something to tie ribbons in. No kidding. Quoth one, "the functional significance of long head hair is almost certainly adornment, providing for the 'sexual selection' that Darwin correctly argued was a potent factor in the evolutionary process." In other words, when you drop sixty bucks at the beauty parlor, don't feel guilty--you're helping to advance the species. [1]

hey guys, been a seriously long time since I updated my blog.
It's not been a great month that has passed and I have to say that I may really need to go and pray to guan yin one of these days. I guess life is like that, there are ups and there are downs. It's how you face it that is important. (sorry arh.... I think I am self psychoing again)
Anyways, I will update if something interesting popped up. (Seriously, nothing interesting has turned up recently. Maybe I should really go and catch movies or something like that)

was asked by my brother how to spell melancholy and he pronounced it as "miloholic". haha..... I sort of know what he meant but I didn't really know the word and spelt it as mechanholy. Seriously dumb!!! hahaha....
Oh ya... Another update is that I finally went to long bar to throw peanuts. Unfortunately, Singapore Sling is not as good as I thought it would be. Maybe I would try their Screwdriver someday.

I have been taking driving lessons for the past few days and it is progressing at a speed slightly under my expectation. Went up a kerb (shit!) and seriously hope to better negotiate that bend better next time. The instructor asked me how do I differentiate a main road from a side road and I randomly guessed it correctly. Haha.....
The instructor actually asked me to go up to 4th gear on the road, much to my surprise, because it's only my 5th lesson. Certainly hope to get my licence quickly so that I can settle this once and for all. I want to drive up to m'sia as soon as possible!!
I have also been thinking what do I want to do in life. The job applications to labs are not yielding any replies and I am really getting disheartened by it. I am no longer sure whether this is the path that I should to take. With no opportunities in sight, I feel that this might be an indication that I am no longer a suitable candidate for lab work. I'm not sure whether the economy situation actually lowers my opportunity to get a job or is it just not the right time?
I am just glad that I still don't need to ask my parents for assistance with regards to this situation. I should be more optimistic, I should have more confidence.....
