Yay! Finally my long awaited iphone is here! Yes I did reserve to collect during the launch event of iphone 3GS but NO WAY am I queueing up for "5 HOURS" to get a phone "THAT I NEED TO PAY".

When I was happily reaching ComCentre to collect my iphone, the long queue made me gasp. I can only say 1 thing: "SINGAPOREANS ARE REALLY KIASU!" Would you want to queue for 5 hours for a $30 iphone accessories voucher? No way man! My 5 hours is more precious that that $30 voucher!

I was told that I will be informed of another date to collect my iphone. The iphone was soooo popular that the white colour was sold out. But actually I reserved for a black one in the first place.

Anyway, for those who "Commented" that I seldom update my blog, this is good news for "you". I will be using iphone to blog as and when I'm outside. I seem to get more things to write when I'm outside. So please see my mobile blog at:

http://iblogasigo.wordpress.com

In case you think the name is difficult to remember, let me break it down for you:

I blog as I go

Now it's easy to remember right?

The reason why I'm using wordpress is because they have created an iphone application that makes me easy to write my posts so why not?

I had already posted my first post. It's short but do check out. Thank you.

It was a hell of a week for me. I started my lessons from Monday to Wednesday on top of maintaining my full-day job. I just realised it's not easy man. By the time I reached home for my leftover dinner and bath, it was already 12 midnight and I have to wake up the next morning to go to work! So I'm only left with weekends to revise my work. Hopefully I can get through this and make it a habit coz I still have 2 years to go T.T ~

Yay~ Updates ~

Saw this creative piece of carrier from a customer's. But too bad it has to be returned back.

I'm not sure if this ice-cream is easy to find elsewhere but I know that if the uncle is not going to ring the bell at my neighbourhood selling this ice-cream, I wonder if anyone will be selling this ice-cream again~

FINALLY! FINALLY! Our lift is done! I don't have to tolerate all those noises and dust anymore! When it was still in progress, the place was covered up until it was so dark and dirty.

If you saw yesterday's sheng shiong show, you probably would have saw that the basketball ball counter was spoilt when the contestant was throwing the ball over. Yup, I was there to witness everything,

If you want my honest reply, I rather watch the Sheng Shiong Show at home. It's interesting that you can see how everything was shot but I think you wouldn't like it when they keep asking you to do the following:

- Clap LOUD
- Say "BAI BEI" & action hands when kym ng is opening the box
- If you have idols singing during that show, please prepare to SCREAM at your loudest. That's what they want. Don't hide behind your banner! Show your pretty face!
- Say "JIA YOU" when the 2 contestants in sumo outfits are turning the wheels over.

As you can see, you are not going there to see "FREE" show. And if you hate to see your face in the TV screen, don't sit in the front haha. Because the cameraman will always shoot the audiences in front.

If you think the stage is very big in the tv show, you are wrong. The actual stage was very small. Probably the same size as the stage we have at school. The space is even smaller with all the wall designs covering up.

Anyway, this is some experience but I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING THE 2ND TIME!

One thing you will never know is, when the show started, one woman in the front audiences was having fits and luckily the show was playing a recorded singing. All the persons-in-charge were frantically moving the woman out of the seat as quickly as possible before the real-live show started.

This was taken at tanjong pagar xchange. All the shops were closed during sundays. I guess business must be bad.

Ok that's all for my updates~ More than enough right? LOL

What a shocking news ~ michael jackson had left the world before he can even start his world tour performance. I think it's better for him. Why do I think so? Because, at his age, becoming bankrupt can be very stressed and with all those law suits following him. At least now he don't need to think about all these and R.I.P. No more worries~

Spent my weekend at home watching Michael Joseph Jackson's MTVs through the MTV channel. Some of the songs like Billie Jeans and Bad are quite nice. At least he looked normal back then, but now, his face is really scary.

The Ridge Racer psp game was not easy to play, maybe for me because I KEPT LOSING! SHIT MAN! I played like at least more than 10 times and I still CANNOT GET 1st PLACE. WTH. Nevermind, I will keep trying till I get FIRST.

School is starting soon, but me and friend may be skipping the first 2 lessons of RMIT visit. Because from what I heard, RMIT teachers from australia came here to VISIT YOU, not really to teach you so why bother going right?

Tomorrow is work again~ WHY DOES THE WEEKENDS END SO FAST? I haven't had enough yet!

2009-06-21T03:27:00.000-07:00

No matter how much green bean soup, fruits, herbal tea i drink, I still came down with a flu and now probably cough soon.

I think I got it from 2 of my colleagues who had the same symptoms.

Today is fathers' day. We actually wanted to go to Crystal Jade at Jurong Point for lunch to celebrate this day (also because I had a $30 voucher). However, when we reached there, the place was under renovation. So we decided to go the Dian Xiao Er at JP2.
Luckily, I chose the right place to go because my father's tongue was quite a picky one. Most of the places I brought him, the food is always "not nice" or "so so " for him. But this time, the "Dong Po " Meat captured his taste. He said it was very tasty but definitely not for me because the thick layer of fats makes me feel so scary to eat.

At night, it's big feast time again. We having steamboat at home. So today was a eating time. No time to rest~

Tomorrow is work again haiz~~~

I think the weather lately is really bad, it seems like God is trying to test us to the limit. Everybody was getting sick especially.

Most of them were having fever, flu or sore throat. In fact I just recovered from my fever one month ago. And now, I'm feeling that my throat was abit dry. Please don't let me have sore throat, I better prepare myself with alot of herbal tea before I get sick.

Although I'm not a coffee lover, I have been addicted to Starbucks Green Tea Latte lately. The taste is sooo GREEN TEA! You can even request for more green tea powder when you order. Irresistible taste that I think I will crave for it every once and then.

2009-06-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I was quite shocked when I went into the Lecture Theatre for the enrolment briefing. The LT was soo quiet that I was wondering if I entered the wrong LT.

It was so much different from when I was enrolled in the full-time course. Everybody was busy talking to their friends (probably too excited from being in SIM =.=) and it was also noisy when the course coordinator was talking about the procedures. I felt sorry for her because she had to stop her talking once a while to ask the students to quieten down.

I think I'm in the right place, i.e. changing from full-time to part-time, because the people are more matured, not like those from the full-time~

Things are gonna get busy now when I have classes from Monday to Wednesday. Hopefully I will be more hardworking to revise my work every week.

And yes, I have already decided to buy an iphone~

2009-05-24T06:12:00.000-07:00

As expected, my japanese mid-term test results are not good, in fact I failed~ HAHA. This is the first time I've failed since studying Japanese at bunka.

Anyway, I still have a 2nd chance to make up for my mid-term test, the final test for Intermediate 2. I will have to work hard now to make sure I can cover the marks I've lost for the mid-term test.

The new teacher was not as systematic as Tatai sensei, T.T I felt that she talked alot more nonsense in class than we actually learning much. And the class ended 10min later than expected. Class overrun! And she teaches fast~ T.T Lucky there's only 2 lessons left.

I'm not even sure if I will continue after this. My classmates were discussing that all the good ones (female teachers) had went back to japan to get married~ So, only the "not so good" ones are still in Bunka~

I'm trying to figure how to configure wordpress to change into another layout that was downloaded for free from another website. More things to do now and my school is starting~ My $$ flies to SIM's bank account~ T.T

I'm not very satisfied with flickr because the image link actually brings you to the photo album. I think I will try to use photobucket for the time being before I find an alternative.

The opening of Starbucks at CINTECH IV was definitely a hit among office workers. I didn't expect the 250 free tumblers to be snatched up so quickly when it opened on Monday WITHIN AN HOUR. But we still manage to get FREE coffee from there hehe.

Today, I'm finally willing to depart my 6 bucks to Starbucks for this Green Tea Latte I've been yearning to drink. Yay! GREEN TEA is my favourite. Even though I'm a tea addict but because of the word "GREEN TEA", I'm willingly to try this new flavour even though it's expensive.

And the taste: It's tasty but just try not to put much sugar, I topped in 2 packs of raw sugar and it's too sweet.

Oh yah and 1 more point I like to add. Starbucks has been very environmentally friendly. The napkin is recycled, the holder where you hold the hot coffee is also recycled and they donate their coffee beans that is kept for more than 7 days to charities. Nice job starbucks!

2009-05-09T05:44:00.000-07:00

It's quite sad when I heard that after my Japanese lesson that our Japanese teacher Ms Tatai will be teaching us for the last time next week and she will not be coming back to Singapore anymore awwwwwww

We asked her the reason and she told us that it's because she had a kareshi waiting for her at Japan. I suspected that it's most probably an arranged meeting or matchmaking or she probably met someone around 1 month ago when she went back to Japan to attend her younger sister's wedding. I think her sister's wedding more or less made her a bit worried that she still did not have a boyfriend.

Actually I think Japanese people are very traditional people. Regardless of how good your future is, girls are still girls, you have to get married regardless~

I just wish her all the best in finding her "xin fu" ~ Shiawase ne~

Replacement teacher: Yamamoto sensei, omg I have a feeling she don't really know how to teach~

This photo was taken during new year's time. I had forgotten it's the "which day" of chinese new year, but my parents had prepared all this for the midnight to pray. See that "roasted pig", YUMMY..

My blog is becoming a dormant volcano. Was lazy and at the same time and busy over the weekends to update my blog.

Recently, I was busy with studying my test for my Japanese Intermediate 1. After knowing my results on monday, I had to make payment to continue Intermediate 2 the following friday. It was really fast~ I thought that I can still rest for at least a week but no chances. I had already started my Intermediate 2 lesson 1.

In a way, I think it was good as the things that I have learnt is still fresh in my mind. Probably, if I continue studying until Intermediate 4 which estimates to finish by december, I can skip taking JLPT 4 and take JLPT 3 instead which is just nice as the JLPT can only be taken once a year during December.

I think I'm struggling with the Japanese grammar. It was quite confusing as to when to use what, the same thing I had problems with when learning english. Hopefully, I would not be tested on my oral because I suck in saying Japanese haha~

I had taken quite alot of photos since new year but it's still rotting in my mobile phone. Will try to get everything out on my blog next time.

My resolution for the time being is try not to use the computer during weekends because 5 days x 8 hours of UV rays is more than enough to make my skin dull and oily. Urghh, my skin just cannot stop producing these oil sebum. If we can just go back to the olden days, no technology, no plastic, no aircon, no fast food.....I think all human beings will not have obesity, skin problems, health problems or any environmental problems which we are facing now. How can we turn back time now that the earth is getting bad from worse...saa naaa~

2009-02-22T02:11:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I have updated my blog. Yea...was quite busy with studying my japanese test. Ends up that I can't seem to remember all the things taught for the 3 lessons I have attended. It was lucky that they have a revision before the test. Phew~ I thinking my memory is getting worse. I need to really study alot more before I can remember. Haiz~

Some of the reasons why learning Japanese is beneficial:

- One very main reason is because I like Japanese culture, I watch anime, I watch japanese shows and I BUY Japanese magazines. So, there's so many japanese words that makes me faint, lucky they have wonderful graphics that distract you. So eventually, I hope that I can read all those japanese words without translations.

- Do you realise that there are alot of items around us which are always written in Japanese? E.g. If you go to daiso, all the items are in Japanese, your favourite meiji chocolate or going to any Japanese restaurant. Everything is in Japanese. Don't tell me you are not curious of what it means.

- Sometimes when it comes to enjoying japanese movies or shows, able to understand it in Japanese will allow you to understand the show better because sometimes translations do not exactly translates to the real meaning it is trying to tell in Japanese.

Lastly, of course, I wish that by learning Japanese I am able to speak Nihongo when I travel to Japan ^^ (Actually this is my ultimate aim).

Received this forwarded email from my sis. After reading it, it was so reminiscing. All my memories on my childhood was revived again. Thought I share this with all of you. Remember the days where you need to bring the toothbrush to school?

You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.
You hated or loved the school nurse (she was either pretty or mean).
You know what SBC stands for.
You paid 40 cents for cartons of Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.
Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type
It was cool to have pagers in primary school
SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushionwere red. The big red bell gave a loud BEEP! when pressed.
There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them.
Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
You know what PETS are and the hidden animals in all the text pages. You hated penmanship.
Writing lines and caning hands were common, esp if you failed chinese spelling (caning was actually allowed. no shit).
You were there when they first introduced the MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.
You bought tidbits called beebee (20 cents per pack, 10 cents in MGS), and mamee (30 cents), that had a different sticker in it every time.
You carried a lunch box to school but either threw away the food or brought it back home again.
You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven were probably the thickest
story books you thought you would ever read.
KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and had metal forks and knives. (I dont remember this, anyone?)
The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'chicken pie'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien translation.
Catching and pepsi-cola was the IN thing, and twist was the
magic word.
Your English workbooks were made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
You came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just so you could copy someone's homework.
CDIS was your best friend.
The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellized characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you math.
Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went.
Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the basketball court.
Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.
Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fishes.
Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, immortalized in our minds from school textbooks.
We conducted experiments of our own to get badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
Every Children's day and National day you either got pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or useless plastic files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school
to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.
There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).
Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $2 or more for pocket money everyday.
You saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.
Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
You got booked for muddy shoes in class.
There were at least 40 people in one class.
You brought every single book to school, even though there was a timetable.
There was a pro-yo/bumblebee, digimon craze at some point in time.

新年的初七

New Year is quite boring ~as usual~ except for New Year's eve where my uncles and cousins had lunch and dinner at my place.

Had started my first Intermediate Japanese Lesson on Friday. Tatai sensei was good, compared to my previous sensei. But things are starting to get harder so I had to be more hardworking now~ revision every week.

Some photos to post~

This is my favourite porridge. Only my grandma can cook this kind of taste. Yes, not even my mum. Yummy~

This is a rare sight. Saw this at bukit batok mrt. Can't believe that this wild dog family is able to survive in the hills.

This vacuum cleaner has seen history since we moved in. Yea it has survived for almost 10 years and it's still as strong as ever. Probably because we seldom stress it as we only took it out when we need to do spring cleaning.

2009-01-16T20:48:00.000-08:00

Another year has passed and it's time for CNY! But I don't really feel excited for CNY, maybe only a bit for buying New Year Clothes hehe~

I wanted to post some photos that I've taken but it seems like Photobucket doesn't like me to log in~

I'm sure everyone is now busy cleaning their room or house for the CNY. Same for me. Throwing things, buying new stuff~

zzz~ Photobucket is not moving after so many refreshess... I try again for my next post.

Oh I better go refresh my japanese before I start my lessons.
>.<

2008-12-29T07:12:00.000-08:00

Sometimes when it comes to presents, I still prefer that I do not receive one. Do you know why? You can say that I'm very picky, particular or a difficult person but I can only say 1 thing, all the presents I received are really not what I like or prefer. I can only say that this is a very sad thing. It can either say this person can't be bothered to know what I like or that person simply can't be bothered as long as they have a gift for you.

So far, Christie's gifts are the most thoughtful. She knows what I like and prefer. ^^ Aww I miss Christie's gifts.

Everytime I heard people say, "It's the thought that counts". I really think this is bullshit. And you may be wondering why am I so harsh in saying that? If you can't even get a decent present for someone, where will you have "the thoughts that counts"

I think I regretted spending so much $$ on buying too good presents. I even spent the whole day looking the whole of JP2 just to look for the presents. I think so far a Pierre Cardin Wallet and a Towel is something useful. The rest like the auntie bag, Phuket souvenir and a bar of chocolate is the worst I have ever received.

And I can tell you 1 thing for sure, only AUNTIES give Phuket souvenir as presents because they can't be bothered. According to my friend, it was very cheap in Thailand, probably less than $1 SINGAPORE DOLLARS. To think that I spend almost $10 for her present. Tsk.

My friend was also no better. She was told that she had to spend $30 each on 3 presents, please note also by 2 aunties. She bought the knitted cat pouch (the real stuff), crabtree & evelyn set and another one a set of beauty products. She definitely regretted buying that for them because this is what she get in return: A stupid small gold pouch which the auntie said is branded but only if you look inside, two TY bears and 1 photo frame. =.= I HATE PHOTO FRAMES!

Anyway to summarize my story, let's start with "the moral of the story is" do not buy too good stuff especially for aunties unless you can be sure that she is a "MODERN AUNTIE" if not don't be bothered to think about their present, just grab anything for them from the supermarket or "mini maini mini mo".

Another advice for to-be wedded women or mothers, PLEASE DO NOT BE SO STINGY WHEN IT COMES TO GIFTS. Choosing the RIGHT GIFT IS WHAT THE THOUGHTS THAT COUNTS.

Ok. I'm done with my complains...I still have to put a smile in front of everyone tomorrow ":)"

2008-12-25T00:05:00.000-08:00

MARRY CURISUMASU!

Today was a cold and peaceful day. I should take this day off to let my skin rest because the harsh air-con is making my skin dry.

So how do I celebrate this festive season? Listen to Japanese Christmas songs!

I'm sure most of us have been watching "The Little Nyoya" faithfully. It has been quite exciting till now but I know it's ending soon. I was been asked by 2 people the same question, "Are all Nyoyas that bad and scheming?" Haha. I'm sure this is just a show and should not reflect the character of Peranakans.

I think tomorrow I shall make a trip alone to Isetan Private Sale and take a look at any nice discounts on items worth the purchase.

The first episode of Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn was a hilarious one. I recommend those who have not laughed for ages to catch this anime!

I just found out that my Mac CAN SPEAK! Cool~

Choose any voice and the speed and you have a SPEAKING MAC!

Oh, time for my hair curling lesson! Ciao~

2008-12-19T17:12:00.000-08:00

I thought that I had so much to write but suddenly I'm just out of words on what to write....Must be my bad memory...

So many to-dos in my queueing list~ So many wants~

I think the star-wars animation done by LucasFilm Singapore was quite well-done and professional. Too bad I'm not a fan of star-wars heh.

It seems every year of December when Christmas is around, the atmosphere is so different, i just feel so serene. Seeing the christmas tree in the office, the cold weather, buying Christmas gifts, so peaceful...

Ok. Let me post some photos on some of my favourite tops but now I'm trying to "control" . Only "See See" not buying.

Something worth mentioning. I saw the news that a Taiwanese doctor could actually lose 12kg of weight in 40 DAYS! Incredible! That is even faster than slimming centres! The main point to lose weight is "Less Oil, Less Salt and Less Sugar". I think I'm going to learn from him by eating Japanese food everyday...but I'll be broke if I do that..Hmm but come to think of it, if you can save more for eating Japanese food than going to slimming centre, why not right?

Santas Claus is coming to town....

2008-12-07T05:02:00.000-08:00

This month of december is what I consider the most busiest. Not busy with work, but busy with meet-ups and shopping. I went with my nurse friend who was looking for her ROM shoe and it was hell of a slimming session. We went from Far East to Tangs to Takashima-ya to Wisma Atria to Vivo City. I had never walked that long man! Worse is that the shoe I'm wearing is not that comfortable as I thought it would be. I think it's good for me because I wanted to slim down haha. However, in the end she still did not get her shoe T.T

Today, I became the housekeeper (only for my room hehe). Spent the whole morning and afternoon cleaning up the necessary.
I never thought that washing these "toys" was so tiring. If you are not sure how to wash these toys, I have a manual for you haha.

[I stepped on it to squeeze out all the water because my hand was damm tired haha]

[Time for a wash for my turtle. It has been sit on by my neighbour's boy boy for lots of times, very dirty~]

[I thought that putting in the washing machine might spoil the toys but my grandma said that there won't be any problems]

[The last step~ Hang it to dry~ This was done by my grandma coz I'm just damm too tired to do anything.]

ok. That's it for now! Mata ne~ I need more beauty sleep, looking more like a panda now~

2008-11-24T06:11:00.000-08:00

Haha...recently came across this japanese character that I very much like it alot. If you have tuned in arts central before and seen some of the 5min short films on this character, you should know what I'm referring to. He looks fierce but he has a kind soul and was always bullied by his friends. Introducing....(*drums rolling*) DOOMO - KUN!

This is my ez-link pouch ^^ (To meiling, no "mao mao" stuff already)

Yay ^^ Doomo-kun Banzai!

2008-11-22T20:10:00.000-08:00

Wahhh...I have managed to finish the first phase of design changes for my Sunday. It's still not complete yet, I'm going to add in more widgets for the side menu but haven't decided what to add. I will do some research to get the nicest widgets.

See my new banner? Hehe...So far my favourite band because I have been listening to their songs everyday on my bus journey and I can't seem to get bored of it~ I wonder why~~~

If you take a look closely, There are two crowns on 2 guys. They are my favourites in the band. Miku (with shades) is the vocal and Takuya is the guitar player. Omg they are sooooo SHUAI and CUTE! The other 2 at the side you can ignore haha!

Antic Cafe is somehow different from other Visual Kei bands as they have somewhat brought in a little "cuteness" to their style. So you won't be expecting very gross and very noisy images and music such as the Gazette (which is so far the most popular in all of the Visual Kei bands because it's gross and noisy enough). If you have seen Gazette's PV, it's very disgusting~ I don't intend to describe to you but I can give you some keywords to what I mean by gross: blood, hospital, operation....

Some photos for you to know more about Antic Cafe:

Who is this kawaii girl? If you think "she" then you are wrong. He is actually the very left guy on the left of my blog banner. Shocked? Lol...

Their new album~ Takuya is soooo SHUAI! Kyaaaaa....

Ok. That's all. Hopefully I get my updates done next week.

2008-11-19T06:45:00.000-08:00

Gonna revamp my blog design~ I'm going to put my favourite Visual-Kei Rock Band Antic Cafe as my main theme.

Stay Tuned~

Nyappy!

2008-11-15T21:11:00.000-08:00

Finally my exams are over. However, this is not the time to relax. I started work immediately so as to earn more $$. It's damm sh**ty to hear that I was unable to switch my studies to part-time because they said I applied "LATE" =.= DAMM IT!!! Now I need to spend more $$ again to study another extra module which was exempted for the part-time course ARHHHH!

The most unpredictable is I'm not even sure if I do request to switch to part-time, will they approve? If they don't approve, then I will be stuck studying full-time which I WILL NOT ALLOW! I'm not going to spend $10k more for this stupid thing. If I do fail either one of the modules for this exam, I will decide to quit this degree course. But I really feel like quitting. Maybe I will try to ask what are the chances of switching to part-time. If the chances of switching is low, then I will just quit right away.

Manage to upload photos from my camera accumulated:

The hotel was damm high class. Will recommend it to anyone who wants to stay overnight at orchard! It is a very good location as it is just behind orchard cineleisure and beside takashimaya. The only thing is that there's no scenery in the room I'm given.

My sister got this vegetable juice drink for Meidi-ya, I find this very useful to learning the fruits names in Japanese:

I was so intrigued by this fake iphone that Yuxuan bought last time. Was so eager to try out to see how good it is compared to the real iphone.

It's much thicker and the touch screen is definitely not as good as the real one. They even have an antenna to listen to radio and watch tv!

Went to Marina Barrage with Meiling, Yuxuan and Chern chern, took some photos of the place. A good hangout place at night for families.

Overlooking the Singapore Flyer

Beautiful Fountain

The water pump area

OK. That's all~ "VERY LOOKING FORWARD" to my next school semester. T.T

2008-11-09T03:13:00.000-08:00

Arhhhhgggg...These three weeks of exams was difficult to get through. I think I rather work than study at home T.T. It's suffocating for me to study when it comes to exams! Ahhh I hate exams.

I also hate exams because I became FATTER! T.T One probable reason is because while studying, I tend to eat between study breaks and this is what you get after 3 weeks, a rounder face and plus 1-2 kgs to your weight. So don't be surprised if you see my round face, Ann lee was already asking what happened to me T.T

After leaving school for so long, my brain seems to get rusty. No matter how much I study, I just can't get the theory inside the brain! S***. I think I'm really not suitable to study at the last minute any more, when I was in poly, I don't seem to have a problem studying last minute.

Ok now I must get pumped up to go for exercises and NO JUNK, NO SUPPER! I want to go back to work so I can SLIM DOWN!!!!!

.....Back to studies again...>.< I have accounting for my last exam. GAMBATTEE!!!

Ok. Now I hate study...

以前警察穿短裤。 That is what I always hear from my colleague in the office when I keep telling her what admin procedures that I know from the past. So many things have changed since the day I stopped my admin tasks. Sometimes, it is just a habit. Whenever I am telling her the admin procedures or I saw any new changes to the procedures I will always tell her, "以前是。。。“ and she will always rebuke back "以前警察穿短裤啦". =.=

I was awoke because of my mum's loud voice, that's her...she is always speaking very loudly. As I was still lazing in the bed, I suddenly thought of all the good times I had in my secondary school life. Although there are also unhappy times, the teachers, my friends during that time had really made an impression on my memories. I had this thought of visiting my school somehow....

I'm not sure if you guys out there are the same as me...I always like to reminisce, compare the past from the present. Probably because I'm not someone who can accept changes easily. When you are in poly, u think about how you enjoyed your secondary school life, when you are working, you think about how relaxed it is in poly life. Probably when I'm married, I will be thinking about how good it is to be single haha.

Was looking at some tutorials during my office hours and experimented with some photo manipulation. I think it looks okay for my first attempt hehe.

BEFORE

AFTER

Hmmm, not much change but probably a little bit? I think it looks cooler and the green was toned down so it's more pleasing to the eyes.

BEFORE

AFTER

I think this effect was much nicer than 1st photo. Subtle look to the overall.

BEFORE

AFTER

Yay. We have a colourful wheel~

ok. That's it for now. Hope you have a Nyappy Day ahead.

2008-10-13T06:50:00.000-07:00

Oh my I was damm too lucky. I DROPPED my mac wireless mouse TWICE (the 2nd time part of the cover came off but was rescued by my father) and it SURVIVED. Thank goodness, I thought I have lost my mighty mouse and I will definitely be devastated because it costs me a bomb!

Dear mighty mouse,

I swear I will be good to you from now onwards and never to drop you off the ground again. Amen~

From your uncaring owner. LOL

I just realised 1 bad point about getting a mac, and that is you can't get much free software around. Was searching for free psp video converter and HOW COME ONLY WINDOWS HAS IT FOR FREE AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR MAC VERSION? =.=

I wanted to put my favourite an cafe video inside my PSP hoping that I can watch it everyday. It's already been my habit to listen to their songs EVERYDAY. I just can't get their songs out of my mind! What to do~ I'm now obsessed with them, I can't live without them~~

Oh well, guess I just have to convert the video in my acer laptop or boot my windows OS from my mac then~

2008-10-09T21:04:00.000-07:00

WTH LAR!!! The kurosagi movie that I have been wanting to watch is NOT SHOWING ANYMORE!!!!!! SHITTTTTTT!!!

So angry!!!! I was looking at the newspapers for the movie schedule and found that the movie is NOT SHOWING ANYMORE!!!
ARHHHHHHGGGGG

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ......Why always like that!! Keep asking my sister every week if she's free then she meeting friends lar.... Somemore I got no friend to go with T.T. Even if there is, I'm most probably tagging along with her and her BF and I will become a very BRIGHT LIGHTBULB. T.T

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what if the DVD is out. I WANT TO WATCH IT IN THE THEATRE!! So angry and disappointed now.

2008-10-03T21:17:00.000-07:00

OMG! The new arrival items at Mishop are simply too cute! I wish I could own them >.< I wish I was living in a four-seasons country because winter always has the most fashionable clothes. You get to wear the flurry sweater, the flurry hood and hat and the cool boots~

OMG..The bear ears are so kawaii~

Ahhh...I like the ZEBRA BAG!

Love those flurry shorts ~

Booooootssssss~

This pair of boots is so cooool~

Just looking at those designs make me so high~

2008-10-03T07:17:00.000-07:00

I think I must be crazy. I keep asking yuxuan whether she wants to watch the movie I have always wanted to watch when I was ranting about it after I came back from my Taiwan trip. And she keeps saying "No No No.." and also giving me the weird expression like "o.O Erm...are you sure is nice? I don't think so.."

Yes! The lead actor was the one on my blog layout YAMAPIII. Finally after 6 months when I saw the advertisement in Taiwan but I think it was so unpopular that it was only screened in Orchard Cineleisure.

The reason why I only asked Yuxuan was because she is someone i know who was closest to even knowing who is "Yamapi". Of course she is not a fan of his but still I really can't find anyone who likes watching Jap Movie. Imagine me asking you who knows nothing about Yamapi:

Me: Hey, want to watch a Jap movie. It's by a very popular Japanese idol call Yamapi.
Friend: (Giving me a weird expression, o.O) Who is that?

Diao~ So you know what I mean right. It's like I'm from another planet and I feel like kind of "out of place" and I think if I talk further I will be outcasted in no time.

.......Probably I think I have no choice but to ask my sister to watch with me a 2nd time then...Haha I think she don't mind since Yamapi is her favourite idol haha.

2008-09-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

Arhhhggg I can't SLEEP!! I'm deprived of sleep but still I CAN'T FORCE myself to sleep. Probably because I have too much things on my mind, exams coming and I'm worried that I can't finish revising everything, was feeling abit guilty about buying things online again >.< and even reserved a Levis Jeans because of the Isetan Private Sale. OMG, why am I spending sooo much $$$ when everybody in my family was in need of $$$. *bang head on the wall* WAKE UP LAR!!!!

Was too addicted to An Cafe's songs that I practically have to listen to it everyday. AHHHHHHH, why is my mind STILL SO ACTIVE!!!!???

They said that people who has sleepless nights is because they think too much >.< Not only is it bad for health, you do not wake up feeling refreshed at all, in fact, more like a walking corpse.

OK don't think to much now....don't worry about the future, zou yi bu kan yi bu!

*My thoughts: Aww, my macbook is soo handsome, love it!*

2008-09-20T21:28:00.000-07:00

Recently, I have been influenced by my sis on J-rock Culture. J-rock, in my first impression, is not something that I will be interested in. But my sister's enthusiasm make me try looking into the videos and photos she downloaded.

Her favourite J-rock band was Alice Nine. More of a visual-kei J-rock band. They are definitely very well-dressed in every performance, and the most obvious difference from the normal guys is they trimmed their eyebrows and put makeup especially on the eyes. Those who are exposed first time to visual-kei will feel very odd or think they are "gays". Lol.

This is the singer Shou from the band Alice Nine. (See his eyebrows!!)

Unfortunately, I don't really like their songs. However, my sister is not all obsessed only on Alice Nine. I think her free time is to also search for other J-rock bands she finds interesting until she came across An Cafe.

Yea...Their songs are nice! Although their appearance can be quite difficult to accept for us "normal guys". Their songs are "cute" which caters to the young ladies audience. And holly S**t, the singer looks like a girl! When I saw the PV from An Cafe, my eyes was all on the singer because "he" was simply too CUTE. If he was born a girl, he definitely is going to be so kawaiii.. Some may think that he is a "ren yao" haha.

Some photos to show you what I mean:

[See his long eye lashes!]

[Omg! See his lips! He wears lipgloss!]

[Oh my...he's simply too cute than any of the girls... >.<]

Ja ne...till then on my next post.

2008-09-15T00:11:00.000-07:00

Today I have been feeling kind of emo, I don't feel like talking to anyone else. Probably because after I knew my OB assignment was just a Pass Grade. I kept thinking a lot of things, suddenly I felt very bored, think school is bored because the people there are boring, life is bored because I have to keep thinking about $$, have to control my spending habits, the school curriculum is boring because it's dry, even more disappointing after I got my results. Of course as the lecturer said, it's not the end of the world. That's true, but I think some times, you will always have some gloomy days.

While in the state of being emo, I was feeling so awed by the drawings in the new manga by Nagamu Nanaji that my sister borrowed. The drawings were so pretty ~~ Looking at her artwork makes me feel so tempted to start drawing which I had stopped for quite some time. It made me want to go into deviant art to look at those beautiful pictures done by many artists. You can say design is really a stimulant for me. Just by looking at it, I can go to heaven. Haha.

Was thinking about some stuff while on the journey back home. Recently, my mind was revolving around the topic of friends. Not just "friends" but friends already attached. Come to think of it, last last last time I really have a very good friend in secondary school, but probably after having attached, it seems like we didn't really follow up much and I don't really have the kind of "authority or standing" to ask her out because there's always the "not free...." reason. =.=

So been more clever now, I decided that I will only WAIT for her to ask me out rather than I ask her out. I even COURIER her birthday present because I know that if I keep it and wait for her to meet me sometime, it's gonna be forever and ever.

And this is not 1 case I'm talking about, I had another friend who was also the same, and another of my sis's friend who was also the same.........Anyway, I not trying to be unreasonable "SINGLE" person here, I just feel that maybe friendship isn't really that important when it comes to our age, when they only have time for their "darlings" and shut themselves from the rest. (Sorry if I offended anyone who read this post, this is only my personal feeling and should not affect any of you)

Hopefully I will not become someone like that if I do have a "darling", hopefully..., but you never know...it might just be very unexpected, probably blinded by love.

Anyway, here's something I came out which I thought of it in the bus ^^, hope you can understand what it means haha.

2008-09-07T04:03:00.000-07:00

Arghhhh,,,,Finally I've finished my group assignment. As expected, there's always some disagreement over certain issues, probably caused by the pressure you get when rushing for submission. I think after this assignment, we had differentiated ourselves between the guys in the group, or you can say: Battle between the sexes! I think it's just the way girls are, we always panic whereas guys seems so cool (which was interpreted by girls as unconcerned and they don't care!).

No more group projects!!!! I keep wanting to say that the guys in our group are use*le**! Even sharon was commenting that they act like 15 year old kids haha (was laughing over this comment)! 1 guy was erm... We*r*, another was ogling at girls *shakes head* I really want to bash him when he said, why he can't be with the other girls who are prettier..=.=

Maybe I can't really blame them? Because one just came out from NS and one was abit We*r*? They are not even gentlemanly! Even the guys in my office know how to act like a GENTLEMAN! *shake head again*

Anyway, the semester ended so fast...soon I will be taking my examinations. Hopefully I get transferred to the part-time course AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I don't want to work with these guys again =.=

2008-08-16T05:50:00.000-07:00

I'm going to upload all the photos which I have accumulated in my phone and did not have a chance to upload it on my blog.

Went to the flyer again; my 2nd trip (except that it's in the daytime) to accompany my aunt's daughter from Indonesia. She was going to stay in Singapore for quite some time as she will be taking English classes before she try applying for Poly next year.

Not as crowded as I expected, probably because it's not a peak hour. But my feel is that, people will only take the Singapore Flyer when the IR is out so that you probably have more scenery to see rather than one big patch of construction site which I can see lotsa cranes haha.

Some photos taken:

--The entrance area--

--The Capsule--

--My aunt's daughter--

--Me and My Mum--

--I don't need to describe this one, you should know--

It was coincidence that my sister was also working today so she said she wanted to come and open the capsule door for us after our ride haha. Secretly took some photos hehe:

Wahaha...

Before leaving, we had our favourite Popeye Chicken!! Yummy!

--Jaa Ne~--

Other Miscellaneous Photos

-- A tree toppled off just outside my block during the rainy season--

--The iPhone is probably derived from iTouch and the touch screen is damm good! But if you have iPhone, iTouch will probably lose it's market value. My colleague got it from a student offer which comes with a purchase of a macbook which costs less than $50 (actual price approx. $400 plus) from the apple website.

I'm not sure if I had posted this before but Japanese handphones are Cool~ I wished I owned a Docomo phone. Can watch very clear and crisp video resolution and the camera is damm superb! As expected from the Japanese.

--Had my Teriyaki Chicken set at Lot 1 Shopping Centre's New York New York. Best meal ever and it's heavenly with my favourite root beer~~--

--My sister's order--

The rest are some photos I took when I'm just too free and nothing to do~

I think I better get started on my Japanese Homework~ Now I really have no time!!!!

2008-08-09T05:47:00.000-07:00

[SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT]
Paiseh I made a mistake on Ah Siao's birthday. It's October not July haha. I think I know why I made a mistake. Probably I given her my dress as present too early that's why my assumption. =.= Don't assume there will be more presents from me.

Anyway, I finally completed my OB Individual assignment, it's so siao man! I have been rushing the essay like mad! Damm stress you can say. That's the reason why I don't have time to write my blog. After finishing the individual assignment, comes the Group assignment. Haizzz!!!

The Beijing Olympics really has a spectacular opening ceremony. The costumes are lavishly designed, seems like there's no such word as "budget" in the production of this ceremony. As expected from the director of Zhang Yimou to produce such fascinating idea on Chinese culture! From last night 8pm till today afternoon, I have been watching the olympics non-stop (of course I had my 8 hrs of sleep) haha! It was exciting to watch the Women's weightlifting competition in the morning as there's always someone who is much better than the previous competitors. Taiwan now known as "Chinese Taipei" finally has a chance to join the olympics and compete with the world. I find that they have really talented people and it really will be a waste not to join such an important sport event!

My only 1 day to rest is going to end soon. >.< Still have to do my shukudai for tomorrow's lesson and study for my Accounting test!!!!!

Some photos to share (the macbook web cam is really fun!):

Ah Siao don't be jealous hor haha!

These photos are taken by my ex-colleague Yuxuan with her favourite Patrick while in the office ! So funny!

2008-07-26T09:34:00.000-07:00

Hah, enough of on my ranting about being so busy blah blah blah....I think I will be always busy until the end of semester. I actually had quite a few photos taken on my phone which I wanted to post it here but as always I'm just lazy, not disciplined enough probably. I promise I will post it sometime soon...

Regardless of being busy, I find that studying has somehow made my life "not so boring" after all. Instead of slacking my time away during weekends as a way to relieve myself from the working week, I find my life now more meaningful. I think those who are reading this may think I'm crazy haha. Although now I'm not getting a full-time pay, which sometimes do restrict me when it comes to temptations when shopping, my mind is much happier and relaxed with the flexible hours that I'm given to balance my work, studies and freedom.

Now my mind is full of Organizational Behavior Context. Values, Ethics, Personality of an individual, job performance, job satisfaction of an individual in an organization, the MARS model..... for my Individual Assignment >.< (Not even 1 word has been written on the Word document yet.)

Opps, enough on my studies. I just hope I can cope and everything goes smoothly for me. Good night~

P.S. Happy Birthday Meiling on her 27th July. I think you already reach the digit 3* liao wahaha. (Did I remember correctly? haha)

2008-07-19T21:07:00.001-07:00

With my assignment deadline being less than 2 weeks, I'm really getting worried on whether I can finish it on time. I have not even started writing 1 word on my report. There's so many to read, understand and analyze~ Maybe I have to reduce my working time now to rush my assignment.

Attended my first accounting lecture on friday. The lecturer was telling us there are more failures in the part-time course than the full-time course. You might be thinking, the working professionals should do better considering that their working experience may have helped them abit. Unfortunately, this is not the case, the reason why they failed is because they "don't have the time" to study their accounting therefore resulting in more failures than full-time students. And he was telling us, if these part-time students don't have time to study, why in the first place did they intent to take a part-time course and failing it.

From what he told us, I think I'm fortunate that I didn't go into part-time course for my 1st semester. Even that I'm working part-time, I felt that I already having difficulties coping~

Ok. No time to brag more, I still have to attend my Japanese lesson today~ >.< Will I die of exhaustion? haha.

2008-07-13T06:48:00.000-07:00

Haha my life is starting to get busy now that I have juggle between my work and my studies. Just 1st week of my school and I'm already briefed about my first assignments (eyes rolling). Was very coincidence to see Xinda at SIM who is studying Communication Design from RMIT (good for him as he can graduate within a year and I still have a long way to go man....)

And you think that I have time to rest for my weekends? Nope. On Saturday, I'm fixing my virus infected ACER laptop (I want to emphasize windows OS!) and also my uncle's computer. So there's practically no time to even laze around. On Sunday? I had my elementary 2 lessons at orchard. So by the time I came home, it's time for dinner and rest for the next day.

Was a bit disappointed with the sensei I got for Elementary 2 class. Not my previous Murata sensei as she was damm good when compared to Nakanishi sensei.

Murata sensei was very passionate about teaching us and her "let's learn together!" attitude really makes me want to attend her lessons.

Now we have Nakanishi, I can just attend my lessons quietly as she speaks very softly and she doesn't really know how to explain certain theories in english well which I have no choice but to find out myself.

Soon, I'm going to have my Yoga class so I think I'm ever more than busy.... I'm dead meat since I did not managed to finish reading 4 chapters of my OB......

2008-07-06T07:44:00.000-07:00

Haha, I have not been updating my blog for a very long time. You can say that it's as good as abandoning it. Anyway, today is my last day of my holiday. For the past 6 days, I've been enjoying my carefree life and now it's going to end!! Noooooo, I don't want to go back to work......

Come to think of my 1 week holiday, I've been going down to my neighbourhood most of the time to enjoy the breeze (because the weather is damm hot and staying at home is really like in a sauna).

This is my schedule during my 1 week holiday:

- Morning, went to coffee shop to eat breakfast and drink my usual TEA-O
- After breakfast, took a few comic books and brought it down to my nearby park. Seating on one of the benches, I read my books peacefully, at the same time seeing the kids playing around with friends in the playground.
- When it's time for lunch, went back home to eat.
- After eating, watch coffee prince series (because I was finishing soon)
- Around 5 plus, went down to the park again for a walk. Saw my cousins and played with them.
- Time for dinner, went back home for bath and rest for the day. ^^

It's a very normal schedule, but for me it's really a peace of my mind. I'm very contented with this kind of life. No worries, just getting to see the kids playing in the playground makes me feel so nostalgic. It's so good to be just kids....

Weeps...Going back to work tomorrow....

2008-06-25T06:33:00.000-07:00

Didn't update my blog for so long. Was very busy as there were many things that I need to settle and do. Did a LIME flea market on 14 June. It was not as exciting and fun as I expected. I can tell you TRUTHFULLY that it was tiring (I was sweating like hell because it was so hot) and a waste of time >.< I mean at the end of the day, I had a good experience of what's it's like to run your own business but startups are always so difficult. So many things to think about, and I even had to pay the rental fee for the tables and chairs!!!! (eyes rolling).

After the flea, I have other things to handle such as organising online sprees. You can say this is part of my interest because I like online shopping too much that I even ORGANISE! But of course now I'm not spending as much as I did previously so no worries guys!

Tomorrow will be my last full-day in my office. FINALLY~ But I think I have to sleep early today because I will be rushing the design stuff for them before I can finally get my 1 WHOLE WEEK OF BREAK before I start my full-time studies at SIM and also work part-time in my current company >.< At least I'm not a full-time staff, I will not be brought into all the politics and ESPECIALLY ADMIN WORK WHICH I STILL HATE IT TILL DATE!

So to my company staff ~ DON'T COME AND DISTURB ME FOR DESIGN WORK WHEN I'M IN MY 1 WEEK BREAK! If you want just outsource it! haha! (even though they were saying like "HOW IMPORTANT I AM BLAH BLAH BLAH" =.=)

2008-06-08T07:26:00.000-07:00

Was fuming bad today. Damm angry. What's wrong with sending you an advert email on my toys blog. I agree it's not really right for me to that but do you really need to SCOLD BACK SO ANGRILY AND MAKE A HASSLE OUT OF EVERYTHING! You could have just politely ask and I will gladly remove you from my mailing list.

This ASSHOLE LADY must be some PMS Girl who has no friends and probably think that her life will be MORE INTERESTING scolding PEOPLE IN BIG, BOLD AND RED WORDS. Normally a person who received some spam mail will just ignore it or delete it. WHO CARES ABOUT REPLYING BACK TO THE SENDER AND SCOLD THEM!!!!

Who doesn't receive spam mails in your mail. ALL OF US DO! And for so many years of receiving spam emails from my email, do I ever complain? NO!!! Who cares about spam emails. If you like, just read it, not interested DON'T READ!! Is not like I have her home address and SPAM HER WITH LEAFLETS! SHE MUST REALLY HAVE HATED THOSE WHO DISTRIBUTE FLYERS ALONG THE STREETS. She must have hated all these advertisers!!!

I'm not asking her to read if she REALLY DISLIKE IT!! JUST DELETE IT. Do you really need to go all length to WRITE ME AN ESSAY like saying it's a SHAMEFUL ACT. HELLO? I'm not selling Viagra or Replica Watches!!!! =.= SINGAPOREANS will always be SINGAPOREANS Haizzzz

DAMM PISSED OFF. I'm really trying to vent my anger so that I can live happier than to argue with this kind of person. I will feel very sorry to anyway who is friends with her.

STUPID LADY!! THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO HER AND I WISH SHE CAN READ IT!!!!!

2008-06-07T00:21:00.000-07:00

As I'm just left with 7% of the battery life on my Macbook Pro, I'm going to blog this entry fast.

As usual, I'm very stressed with my office work. So many things for me to do! I'm already on the verge of breaking down. Hopefully, after I start school, I will feel MUCH MUCH BETTER.

Now weekends is also quite busy for me. I've just created a blog to sell my colleague's toys. She's in the toy business and she has been kind enough to give me part of her toys to try selling it online.

check it out here: http://toyzforyou.livejournal.com . Need anything just mail me. ^^

And also I will be having a flea next sat (14 June) at Youth Park (which is opp. Orchard Cineleisure). Feel free to visit me too!

Tata. I'll end here. Batt is now 5% only. Hope I will have a good weekend.

2008-05-29T06:18:00.000-07:00

Really stressed these days...regardless whether is my fault or not, the blame will still end up with me! Was so angry about it and keep thinking why should I suffer in silence all these nonsense?

Therefore taken whole day leave to attend my sister's graduation in the morning and the rest of the afternoon is left for me to relax or "自辟". Went to the library alone and read some design books, after that travelled to West Coast to buy some packaging materials for my company. In the first time ever, I was quite happy that my handphone was low batt because nobody can contact me and leave me alone in peace. Once i started re-charging my handphone when I went back home, so many messages... Decided to ignore it and have a nice afternoon nap....

I felt so not stress for the first time, I do not need to worry about anything, about work most importantly. All these has been attributed to probably working for too long in a company, a clock ticking telling me it's time that I should move on to other things.

Again, my phone was full of photos. Went to Singapore Flyer with my parents because my sis was working there and we are entitled 10% discount for the tickets. It was also sort of a treat to my mother for her Mother's Day.

Random photos as below (for those who have not yet visited Singapore Flyer):

No photo description as I was too lazy.

ok. This is my sister's graduation. Secretly took the photo when she went on stage. I think she will kill me that I post it on the blog so shhhh..

ok. That's all. Wish that I will not be so stressful and Gambatte, 1 more month to go before I start schooling !!!

2008-05-25T08:08:00.000-07:00

Yeah..It's been a long time since I've blogged. Alot of things has happened in the office since Meiling left because after so long, we are still lacked of an admin stuff. Was also quite pissed off with the company as I'm getting more fed up with the way this company works.

Since I've paid my SIM school fees for ONLY 1 semester, I felt sooo much poorer. Like from an Middle Income person to a Low Income person. Now, I dare not spend on shopping but keep thinking of ways to earn $$$. I don't know if I will still continue to work in my current company for part-time because I really cannot stand it anymore. If they can give me a good rate, I will most probably stay. If the rate sucks, BYE BYE ADRC.

The earth has been quite disastrous lately, giving Myanmar and China with such impact. Already I'm complaining about the hot weather, these people out there are far more worse than me. What is more to complain about your situation when you see everyday all their sad faces and ruined houses on the news everyday.

Check out my auctions at: http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/user/suh_32

Selling some disney items which you can take a look ^^

2008-05-17T19:41:00.000-07:00

Haizzzz, lately been worrying over $$ issues because of my school. I have to accept the offer by next thur and it's really been bothering me. Bank loans is really turning me off because of it's high interest. It's so ridiculously high which I think is really not worth the effort to even try to apply. (Who can be my sugar mummy or daddy and loan me some $$ >.<)

So now, I've been thinking ways on how I can get $$ or earn $$. Also there's been some family issues regarding my uncle which can be quite disturbing. Don't know if I should just shrug it away or feel more optimistic about everything that has been happening lately.

It's like in the shows or anime I've seen, when the protagonist has faced with the worst of scenarios, he/she will try to be more optimistic and solve the problem even though all odds are against him/her.

So let's just hope for the best. As the chinese saying: 走一步，看一步吧。

Was very busy lately because of our marketing people who has agreed to their customers ridiculous dateline which is what I will say mission impossible.

So in the end, I have to rush his design job and also juggle the ever demanding admin work from our boss. ARHHHHH! I had enough! QUIT QUIT! I was thinking why I need to do so much work with such little pay. The marketing staff best tactic to make you do his work without grumbling is to "BRIBE" you or give you a treat. I'm not going to be cheated by that (often sometimes I do take their bribes). But for this time, I'm not going to take the bribe because I'm simply cannot agree the way they do things.

And the company still did not manage to any capable admin stuff to do this ever ending admin work.

So when I felt stress and wanted to bash people up (because I can't beat up these marketing people), I will take out my PSP and play Dynasty Warriors and vent my anger on these puppets which will be there for me to kill.

Anyway, my SIM offer came so I think it's just a matter of time before I got release from my pain haha. I'm so happy that I will be taking half day leave tomorrow (to escape) because I need to go to maybank to ask for a study loan >.< $$$ again....

I WANT FREEDOM!!

2008-05-03T20:50:00.000-07:00

Was feeling a bit guilty that the new girl to replace Meiling's position was told to leave after working 4 days. You can say that I was the tester because I taught her stuff and she has difficulty catching up. To make matters worse, her computer skills is really cannot make it. Because our job requires you to look in front of the computer 8 hours a day, if you do not know how to even use the browser (with tabs), how am I supposed to believe that you can handle more difficult tasks if she were to stay here....

Watch Ironman with my colleagues on Friday after having an expensive meal at a Indonesian Restaurant Pagi Sore. The food is really nice. Ironman was not bad but maybe not as nice as Transformers.

Also got a plastic bag full of sweets from playing at the Arcade where the machine push the sweets down and the big prize is to actually get the stuff toy. I'm not really good at playing this so asked my colleague who was a pro to help. She was so "on", changed about $40 and played until we hit the jackpot to get the stuff toy. We actually told her we just want the sweets, but she told us it's very wasted because the machine's bar is reaching the jackpot area and played on our behalf. Of course she spent the most so she took the stuff toy.

Damm hot weather these days that I really cannot "tahan". What's happening to our earth? I think those movie's showing weather epidemic is really true.

Yay, added a tagboard for you guys to complain anything about me under the sun. So must enjoy hor!

2008-04-26T20:23:00.000-07:00

Have you realised that I have been updating my blog quite often? Haha. That's because my Macbook Pro is MY POSSESSION! What does that means? It means that my sis will not be fighting to use the laptop with me! Moreover, because I'm using a Mac OS so they would not know how to use it and I can use it anytime, anywhere I want. Wahahaha....

Anyway, posting some random photos from my k800i because my phone is junked with too much photos and wanna get rid of it.

Yuxuan's Rabbit
She brought her rabbit to our office because orange wants to see it so took some pictures of it! Our office very good right? Can bring rabbits haha.

(WE LET HIM OUT FROM HIS CAGE)

(CHOO CHOO IN HIS CAGE)

(CLOSE SHOT OF CHOO CHOO)

(OK. THIS IS A STUPID SHOT. I WAS LAUGHING AWAY AS I WAS TAKING THIS BECAUSE I WAS QUITE SURPRISED THAT THE ROOTS OF THE FUR IS ACTUALLY WHITE! HAHA)

MEILING'S POSSESSION

All these photos are taken long ago. Just that I didn't have the TIME to upload it.

(HER DINOSAUR THUMBDRIVE. I THINK IS ONLY 32MB OR 64MB)

(THE MATHS SOLUTION SHE DID FOR HER TUITION, SHE WANTS TO SHOW HOW "NEAT" IT IS)

PICTURE OF THE DAY

(MY FAVOURITE!!!! PATRICK!! HEARD FROM YUXUAN YOU CAN'T FIND IT IN SINGAPORE. SHE BOUGHT IT IN KL. IF ANYONE IS GOING KL TELL ME! HELP ME BUY A PATRICK BACK!)

Ok. Finally I'm done getting rid of all those photos. Before I ended my post, just wanted to recommend some PSP games which I have downloaded.

#1 recommended game - PATAPON

Meiling & Orange are so addicted to it. Orange had even completed it! Pei fu Pei fu~ But I prefer to play it slowly.

#2 - Taiko no Tatsujin

If you have played this Taiko game in Arcade, you should know that it's fun just that when you play in PSP you will be pressing the buttons. Alot of nice Jap songs! The more you play, the more songs you unlocked.

By the way, the jap word "tatsujin" means Pro or master or expert.

Ok. That's the end of my post.....

2008-04-24T07:13:00.000-07:00

Ok. Finally I have the time to upload the macbook packaging since I have been busy with organising the Baimomo Spree.

Had some difficulties finding where they put the photos in iPhoto before uploading it to photobucket.

Was quite surprised that my macbook was delivered to my office so fast! I ordered online on Wednesday night and received the goods around 2pm next day. (>.< probably because I think they would ship the laptop from US. I know it's stupid of me to think that. Wake up man, they already have the goods in Singapore!)

Anyway these are the photos:

The back of the box. Cool~

The packaging inside. The macbook Pro was wrapped in the white plastic foam material.

Cool~ Designed by Apple California (but made in China =.=)

2008-04-21T08:11:00.000-07:00

Whee~ It's my first time writing this post on my Macbook Pro. Typically, I think it's quite easy to use and I feel that the colour and interface for mac is really pleasing to the eyes.

The sound is nice (compared to my Acer laptop it sucks!), the screen is big, the keypad is soundless and the cd rom drive is cool! (just like what you see in movies). The only disadvantage i think for me is the weight because for such a small size like me, carrying a 2.5kg laptop can be quite straining.

I installed Windows Vista on a seperate partition on my Macbook Pro. Realised that Windows Vista interface is too bright for Mac's monitor. After installing, I quickly switched back to using Mac OS because I missed using Mac OS ^^

Although I have spent a bomb on this toy of mine, but I still think it's really worth it. I think I will feel more heart pain if I spend that $$ on a Windows Notebook.

So now, it's time for me to getting used to the keyboard shortcuts in Mac. Afterall, I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign on Windows for so long, it's not going to be easy to change overnight.

Will post photos soon on the Mac packaging. It's damm nice lar!

2008-04-16T04:58:00.000-07:00

Wheeehee! I finally pluck up my courage, took my Dad's credit card and purchased a Macbook Pro online. Yesterday, I was contemplating whether I should buy the Macbook Pro. I went all lengths to fill up all the shipping details before I stopped at the checkout page.

Today, when I woke up in the morning, getting ready to go to work, I was thinking nothing but the Macbook Pro during my bus journey. At work, I keep going to apple.com to look. It seems like I would not give up until I get my Macbook Pro. I think the most important thing in life is to be happy. No point having loads of money in your bank and being unhappy because you want to save so that you see your account growing with money. So, this is how I made my decision haha.

Sometimes, I really hate myself for being so indecisive. Always worrying about this and that. I'm also easily affected by people's comments or you can say by peer pressue. Just take this for example, my colleague bought a PSP and I'm sooooo tempted to buy one. I keep controlling myself (or you call psycho) not to buy it.

Finally, I can sleep in peace. No more dreams about whether to buy or not hehe.

2008-04-08T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hah, I have officially finished my Elementary I lessons and passed my test! Ok, it's not as difficult as I predicted in fact I think I took less than 1min to finish the oral test because it's really easy.

Went to Bunka website and realise that I have to take elementary 2 --> Intermediate 1 --> Intermediate 2 before I can take the JLPT 4. Damm long but don't worry I will persevere till I get my JLPT 4! Heard from my sis that in SP, you take 3 years to study your Japanese before you take your JLPT 4. Not easy man...

Lately there's alot of interviews going on in my office. Partly because to replace Meiling's Admin position. Finally, my boss decided to take 1 staff after 3 or 4 candidates came today. She will be starting work next month and "secretly" saw that she was also in the 85's!

After my colleague bought a Macbook Air from the US, I was so into buying a Macbook Pro for myself too! Hope I can get a good price from my colleague's help hehe.

I still can't get away with Online Shopping. But now I can still control it because I keep telling myself that I still have a wardrobe of new clothes which is still waiting for me to wear it. Most of the time, I was just going to the website browsing for nice clothes (in the office). I think my work is really getting boring. I don't think there will be any work or task that can motivate me anymore. It's just like working for the sake of working haizzz. I really hate this kind of feeling. Hope that I can start fresh again when I quit....

2008-03-28T22:22:00.000-07:00

Just changed my layout because it just looks very untidy and I can't bother to do a new one myself.

Now I really have a lot of things to organize. My room, my thick pile of clothes ( old and new ones), my backup hard disk which is already running out of space.

I also added a lot of links on my blog so that I can get easy access to it. ^^

Tomorrow is my Japanese Elementary Test. Hopefully is an easy one because I only managed to study 50% of the whole lessons. Going to chiong at night and wish me luck then ^^.

2008-03-22T22:35:00.001-07:00

I think it's good to have a short break to get away from your work and family matters. Because I feel that sometimes you really get bored of the things around you.

As for my example, when I came back from Taiwan, I feel more afresh to start things. But what I find it strange is, even when I came back from my trip, I still feel bored about job. This is really an indication that I cannot stay on this job for long.

At least when I came back, I'm not addicted to Audition anymore! YaY! Now I can concentrate on doing other stuff. But recently my colleague, Alex bought a PSP Slim and we keep junking his PSP with the games I like hehe >.< Another addiction but luckily I do not own it on weekends so it's still ok. (I even have the intention to buy one but wrote off that idea when I think my sisters could also be fighting over it)

I have been looking for this shoe. It's sooo Kawaiiii! I saw it in Far East but it's just too expensive and it only has two strips. Hoping that I can find one that is comfortable, nice and affordable. Let me know if you see it somewhere in Singapore.

2008-03-18T04:26:00.000-07:00

It's been a tiring week for me after a week trip to Taiwan. Not enough sleep because we have always been waking up at 6.30am and ending our day at 10pm. By the time I fell asleep is already 12 midnight.

The weather is quite nice like air-con temperature but of course you still need to wear quite a thick sweater because the wind is cold.

Now that I'm back from Singapore, I have to study for my Nihongo Elementary 1 before
my test on 30 Mar.

Day 1 - 9 Mar
Took EVA airlines to Taipei with our Tour Leader Sabrina. Went to 士林夜市 for dinner. We had "Ou Ah Jian" and it was not very nice as expected. It's different from the Singapore style because their's was sticky and watery.

As there were some seats on my side, this ang moh with his friends decided to sit. Because our sitting arrangement was like 1 to 3 person, i decided to volunteer to sit on the opposite side to 2 - 2.

So I told the ang moh that he can sit my place and he ask me "一起的吗？" I replied him "Yes, we are together"

After that he replied "对不起啊" and I answered him "It's ok"

What I find it funny about this conversation is he speaks to me in Chinese and I replied back to him in English. Lol.

What's more funny is my parents were saying that the "Ou Ah Jian" was not nice but on the ang moh side, they were saying "how tasty!" it was. haha.

Also tried their sausage, OMG it was so huge!

We also tried something which has a very nice name called 七里香。Such a nice name and do you know what is it? It's actually 鸡屁股！Haha. Quite nice actually, not as bad as expected.

Was quite lucky to see fireworks on my first day there. In fact, fireworks there was a very common thing. They put fireworks whenever they have festive occasions like a deity's birthday etc...

After that we went back to our hotel, Holiday Inn to rest. Although it's graded as 4* hotel, but i think it's really good with LCD TV and a nice environment.

Taiwan is so good. They have so many TV Channels not like Singapore where we still have to subscribe to Cable TV. The Taiwan tour guide was telling us that we just have to watch 1 channel for 1 min and to cover all the channels you need 1 hr 30mins to do that haha.

My sister favourite japanese show. Normally she will download it from the internet but now she gets to see it here!

Day 2 - Taipei ~ Hualien
We packed our luggage and get ready to go for our next destination - Yeliu to see special rocks. The weather was quite bad as it was raining.

Raining makes the weather even colder and I was like freezing like hell. I don't really have the mood to look at the rocks because of the rain and I did not bring an umbrella with me and I have to share it with my sister.

Some of the scenaries I took:

My sister with her umbrella

Me with my hood on.

Next destination - 九份
The rain still did not subside. My shoes were not waterproof and it was so wet and uncomfortable. Bought an umbrella so that I do not need to share with my sis and a furry shawl to keep myself warm since Jiufen is located on top of the mountain and the temperature is definitely going to be lower than ground level.

Definitely wrong timing to visit this place because it was dripping with rain and it's so uncomfortable. Tourists are also rushing to have their lunch at the small food stalls with so little seats.

After that, we were brought to the train station to take a train to Hualien. Duration is 3 hrs. Had intermittent sleep and also took some photos of the scenery.

Train station, looks quite rundown like those in Malaysia

My sister and father sleeping in the train >.< They didnt know I took their pic haha.

This is what I see for almost 80% of my journey.

After 3 hours of train ride, we finally reached Hualien. Had dinner and the food sucks. After the dinner, went to watch the 阿美族山地 performance. The guys are quite handsome ^^ and the ladies have very fair skin. All the guys who perform are all half naked and I wonder if they will feel cold without any clothing. o.O

Not very nicely taken but this is all I have.

Ended our day as we went to our next hotel called the "Marshal Hotel". Also rated 4* but it's soooooo not as good as the one at Holiday Inn. The tour leader said it was because Hualien was more of a countryside area therefore the hotel were not as good as Taipei.

Day 3 - Hualien - Kaoshiong

After our bland breakfast, went to Taroko Gauge to see beautiful scenery. Very pretty scenery and the air was so good. About 70% of the land in Taiwan was mountainous. They had a cafe where you can drink coffee using spring water. How I wish I could just sit at the cafe whole day......

This is the cafe that serves spring water coffee. This is my favourite place of all! I really wish I can stay there longer! I was fantasizing that how nice it will be if I can build my house there haha.

Next destination we went to see their biggest marble factory. Because Taiwan has so many mountains, therefore they are also the biggest manufacturer of marble and this green jade which I forgotten the name, follow by Thailand. They even taught us how to differentiate fake jades. Of course when you come to this kind of place, they will be promoting you with all their jades to buy.

Biggest carved jade ever!

Their marble and jade muesuem

I also found out that our Singapore tour guide (Malaysian) was same age as me, born in the year of Ox so she dragged me and took a photo in front of an Ox statue. My sis said we have almost the same spec and we even looked alike! Haha.

Had our lunch nearby the marble factory. Again, the food sucks! One word I can say is "Bo Bian", even the food sucks, we still have to eat because after that, we are going to travel 7 HOURS by bus to Kaoshiong! Very tiring even though they do stop at intervals for you to rest and relieve yourself. The route we travelled was going via Mountain roadway so the bus was always turning in and out. My sis was feeling very giddy after that and she felt like vomitting.

Finally reached Kaoshiong, went to another night market for dinner before going back to Metropolitan hotel to rest. This hotel is great because it's 5* and we all have free upgrade to a suite as both my sis and me had our own Queen SIZE BED. Wheeeee!

Day 4 - Kaoshiong

Went to this very big temple for sightseeing. Not sure what's the name. When I reached Hualien and Kaoshiong the temperature was not as cold as Taipei so I can say I'm quite happy there haha.

What is special about this temple is they have this fortune telling machine. You just have to put in 10 yuan (approx. 50 cents) into the machine, the doll inside will go into the house and take out a scroll which has your fortune.

My father's fortune. To decode the verse, they have a book beside it and they will explain to you in simple chinese.

After this, we went to this unique restaurant for lunch. It's called the 五分船板. There's a story behind this shop name but it's too long so I rather not explain. The place is nice and the food is also nice! Finally some good food!

My tour group in the background.

After lunch, went to Jian Hu Shan, their biggest theme park *eyes rolling* In fact, I'm disappointed with their theme park because it's not very fun and it looks so run down. My tour leader said that if the water theme park is opened it will be more fun but it will only be opened on April when the weather is hotter.

Even their "Russian circus performance" sucks! It's damm boring. They say something like "TOP 10 Most Dangerous Acts" but What the hell it's not interesting at all!

They have this virtual roller coaster movie where the seat vibrates or moves and IT'S NOT VIRTUAL AT ALL! I think our Science centre virtual ride is MUCH BETTER that theirs.

The only ride I took at the theme park. I think our Singapore flyer is much more better and nicer!

Longest escalator ever! Because they are built on mountain top therefore the escalator is so long.

Bad Theme Park! No more Taiwan theme park for me haha. Maybe children may find it fun.

The only thing I like about the Theme park is the Ah Gua show or what they call it the 人妖.

They are so SEXY and TALL. How I wish I can be that tall! weeps... They were so close to you that you can actually see everything haha. (Not everything, they still cover whatever they need to cover)

One of the Ah Gua dragged one of the teenager (boy) to dance with "her". "she" even kissed the boy and told the boy to kiss back and so the guy did! Haha. Very funny I was laughing so hard. Another Ah Gua also gave this boy "her" flower as a gift! It really seems like they are all very interested with this boy.

His father was a real estate agent for historical buildings. Really interesting job. He gave me his namecard and saw his blog / website at www.browse.com.sg. His son's photo is also in the blog. GO CHECK OUT!

After the performance, we can take photos with them! The photos are not very clear >.<

After the photo taking, we walked back to the JiahuShan Hotel (Prince Hotel) to rest.

Day 5 to 6 - Kaoshiong - Taipei

Disclaimer: (At this point, I'm confused of the sequence of the places I went to so I will just write whatever I know >.<)

Finally after a 3 hr bus journey we are back to Taipei. This also means that our trip is ending soon. At the same time, we also get along quite well with some of the people in my tour. Went to Miramar Shopping Centre. Other than cheap Jap Drama DVDs, everything there is very expensive, or you can say that it's a similar Takashimaya.

They have a ferris wheel on top but you have to pay for that so basically we are just hanging around before we board the bus to go to our next destination.

After that we were brought to visit the 原住民's shop where they sell Lingzi and Lu Tai (the deer's foetus, taken out before it was even born). I know people will get disgusted by that, but it is a very effective medicine that's treated Ah Bian's wife asthma. It's up to you to believe but the deer has been considered as their country's 国宝. If I'm not wrong they have printed the deer picture on their 500 yuan notes.

The Lingzi is also their 国宝. It has also treated our Prime Minister's illness when he came to Taiwan in search for an antidote. I didn't even know about this until our tour guide told me about it. I'm really convinced when he said Lingzi is a very effective medicine.

But they said lingzi is not a medicine, it's just a supplementary herb that improves your health. People with High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Cancer can try drinking Lingzi Tea. As you should know, Chinese medicine takes time to see the effect so it may probably take 1 year to get your illness healed completely.

But mind you, Lingzi is a VERY EXPENSIVE herb. I think 1 big Lingzi which you can boil to drink for 1 year is about Singapore dollars 1K plus! It's cheaper to buy in Taiwan. If you go Yu Ren sheng and buy, i think it costs you about 3k.

After lunch, we went to Taipei 101, again another shopping mall which sells branded stuff. Again we just hang out. The shopping mall itself is 5 stories, to go up to the 89th level, you have to pay about 350 yuan (approx. 15 dollars), to go up to 101th level, please pay again haha. I think it's quite expensive so I did not go up.

Taken on the bus

Taipei 101 Entrance

We went to 淡水 night market after that before going back to China Trust Hotel to rest. The worst hotel I ever stayed even though they said that they are 4*. I think it's lower than 4*. The lobby is small, the lift is small, the room smells of cigarettes (they should give us a smoke-free room), the bathtub has stains and the place looks eerie....The restaurant is small, even the food choices are very little. The concierge looks fierce also.. (so many things to complain)

I think they should just downgrade to 3* and below.

So guys, next time if you are looking for a hotel to stay in Taipei, DONT GO TO CHINA TRUST HOTEL AT DANSHUI.

Day 6 - Our last day of the tour. Went to Xi Men Ting for shopping. Went to Fisherman's Wharf or 情人桥, also went to Wu Fen Pu (largest wholesale clothes distribution area)! Best place to look for Soooooo many clothes. I think I need at least 1 week to finish the whole place. Not kidding, it's really too big.

At Xi Men Ting. My sis's favourite idol on movie! Too bad Singapore is not going to have this show. Taiwan is really the place to look for everything Japanese!

Wu Fen Pu (largest shopping centre for me!)

I don't know what's this place is called.

Also went to the Grand Hotel, world's top 10 hotel, ranking at no 7 in the world. Someone was asking the tour guide why we didn't stay at that hotel. It seems that the hotel does not accept tour groups to stay because it too highly demand therefore it only accepts walk-in.

It's DAMM NICE LAH! Whenever we are travelling on the road, I was always awed by that beautiful building and now I get to see it! Too bad I don't have the chance to stay there. A MUST to visit if you are going Taipei.

It's so noticeable even from far. You know what I mean when you go there.

Their Grand Lobby. Everything is so oriental! Ang Moh will like this kind of place haha.

Too many photos to show. Anyway, that's my end of the post. Actually I stayed 1 more day while the rest of the tour went back so that I can do last minute shopping coz the tour really don't have enough time for us to do shopping.

Some of the things I bought:

Taiwan flag and Ma Yin Jiu tissue paper: They are distributing this while we were walking around Xi Men Ting and Wu Fen Pu. I have lots of Tissue Paper Packets that I don't even need to buy! VOTE FOR MA YIN JIU! haha.

Bought Ayumi CD which is quite cheap, around 250 yuan (less than 15 dollars)

One Piece Stamp Collection: I went to their post office to buy this, 350 yuan (around 15 dollars plus).

Jiu Fen Ku: It's actually sock material, my hairdresser told me to help her buy. It's so cheap there, only 80 yuan (approx. $4), she said it costs $10 in Singapore. But I seldom see people in Singapore wearing but alot of people in Taiwan are wearing this.

2008-03-06T05:29:00.000-08:00

Omg! I'm so looking forward to the Taiwan trip which is coming this Sunday!!!! I can't even work now that I'm too excited. I'm definitely going to visit Cutie Shop at Taizhong (thanks to orange who helped me looked for the map at google). But the place is really abit not convenient as I still have to take train (not MRT) and walk 1km to reach my destination.

Went to hear the briefing yesterday at People's Park Complex. Got the schedule from our local tour guide sabrina and it seems like a very packed schedule because we are always changing hotel EVERYDAY!

I became =.= when sabrina told me that we have to give tips to HER and another Taiwan Tour Guide. Haizzz. $$$$.... and they charge PER DAY.

Ahhh going mad already! I can't sleep haha.

But when I come back, I have something else to worry about. That is to apply for my studies and also how I'm going to cope when Meiling quits. Haizzzzz, I already have the feeling that I want to quit already haha. Why everyone is leaving before I do! Not FAIR!!!

Recently was so mad about all the songs from "THE ALI PROJECT". The name sounds strange right? In fact it's supposed to be called "ARI PROJECT" Japanese songs which I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it. After that, I went to search for all the songs from Ali Project haha. It has the fantasy and very unique tune, with some addition of ancient japanese style music. If you like fantasy stuff, this is definitely the song for you!

Some info about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALI_PROJECT

Ok. After reading this: http://www.last.fm/music/ALI+PROJECT, this is what they say "a Japanese duo with a strong Gothic Lolita image" Wow, I like songs from Gothic Lolita people? Haha.

2008-02-28T06:33:00.000-08:00

Went to Isetan supermarket after my Japanese lesson. They were having this Japanese fair where they sell authentic Japanese delicacies and snacks. Was looking for Takoyaki but unfortunately there isn't. But I did saw this pancake that Doraemon always like to eat so I bought it and tried.

It's red bean paste and it's not bad. One thing I find embarrassing was I was talking to the lady who was selling this in Chinese and she doesn't understand me. After looking at her name tag do I realise that she was Japanese. >.<

Drew this on Meiling's notebook because she told me to. She said to keep it as a momentive?? Anyway, here's the drawing.

So excited about my trip to Taiwan hehe. Have been preparing things to bring for the trip. Can't wait for it!

2008-02-13T05:59:00.000-08:00

Wow. New Year was really a busy week for me. Helped my mother in some house cleaning before my relatives come over for reunion dinner. I was so looking forward when I heard that my uncle from Penang will be coming over to celebrate New Year with us.

My house was so crowded with all my cousins who came over to play and have a reunion dinner. Really like the atmosphere of having so many people together in my house.

some photos taken of my cousins:

-My Cousin from Penang- Elder

-Cousin from Penang - She is the younger one

Singapore Cousins

All of them were going to y8.com to play flash games. They have the fashion flash games for girls and those fighting games for guys. No wonder all my cousins liked it alot.

1st day of new year

Brought my uncle and family from penang to jurong east to play arcade. I think that's the only place that is opened plus the movie theatres.

2nd day of new year
Brought my 2 penang cousins together with 四婶 to Sentosa since my 2 cousins have never been there before. I was quite frustrated that I have to QUEUE to take the cable car, QUEUE to buy tickets to go Underwater World, QUEUE to take the sky ride and Luge Ride, QUEUE to take the bus. QUEUE QUEUE QUEUE!!! I wasted at least 2-3 hours queueing! Zzzzz. I went to Siloso beach and there's so many Bangaladesh!!! Omg. What has happened to Singapore. I'm seeing them everywhere! I don't even have the chance to take the Beach ride because it's occupied by ALL BLANGLADESH. You know why? Because that ride is FREE!! I don't see any bangladesh when I enter the underwater world because it's expensive.

I don't really have anything against them but it's just irritating to see this kind of phenomenon o.O.

After the sentosa trip, we went to Boon Lay Raja Restaurant for an expensive dinner, of course at the expense of my uncle from Penang who suggested it. ^^

Now that new year is over, it's back to work again. But I have another thing to anticipate because I'm going to Taiwan! Yay! Taiwan Shopping here I come...

2008-02-03T02:44:00.000-08:00

Holy S***! The stupid adapter costs me $110 (before GST) to replace. I have to like wait for 45min before I was told it was that expensive to replace an adapter. I was estimating like less than a 100.

Anyway, I promised to post the photos on the bird park trip. I'm lazy to talk more about the photos but just a short description. I went to jurong bird park with Meiling, my mother, sis and "han han" my next door neighbour's son (Thanks to Orange). Han han is a smart little ass and I really find him cute but a bit mischevious.

Had already attended 3 Japanese lessons at Bunka. Was quite impressed that we were taught so much and I'm expected to learn all the hiragana in such a short time. According to my sis, the speed that we are going at is really fast compared to poly. And I think our sensei, Ms Murata was a good teacher.

Yes Yes. I know that I said in my previous post that I wanted to post some photos but pardon me. My Acer laptop's adapter wire has worn off. Initially, I thought it was the switch that has spoiled. But after trying it on another switch, the laptop still shuts down due to a short circuit.

Now I have to make a trip to Acer to ask them to replace a new adapter for me. (Or is there somewhere I can buy a new Acer adapter?) Hmm I think I better make a trip down. Bet that there's going to be alot of people, since Acer's laptop is quite "Lao Ya" one haha.

Finally my throat is well again. There is no more pain like last week which I kept complaining. Lucky I got well 1 week before Chinese New Year if not I will not be able to taste all the Chinese New Year snacks! >.<

Remember that I complained that my rebonded hair is "Too Straight". Now, it's not so straight anymore, or I can say it's more natural now. Hehe.

Chinese new year is coming. I can feel the new year atmosphere even though I have not visited Chinatown. Why? Because, during CNY, all my uncles and nephews will come to my house to play and reunion dinner. Although I have a generation gap with my nephews because all of them are very young, but I like the atmosphere of so many children and adults gathering at my home. It's such a festive feeling I get.

So to at least engage a conversation with them, I talk to them about MapleStory haha. That's the only thing they are interested I guess.

Lastly, I'm still figuring out how to blog using my sony errisson phone since it comes with the feature of blogging. Hmm....

2008-01-21T05:26:00.000-08:00

Suddenly, I was now at the crossroad of life. Getting really sick and tired of this job. Even revamping a new website does not make me feel alive. In fact, I rather someone do it for me. Just hope that the choice that I made is correct.

Till now, I think I did not regret rejecting the offer from SMU because I know that if I really went it, I think I will be very stressful and I think it's not really what I want too.

I think I'm really a pain in the neck. Being so undecisive and I'm always worried about money, money and money since you should know studying University is 10k, 20k, 30k!

2008-01-14T05:20:00.000-08:00

zzzz. I'm sick again. Now is Cough and Sore Throat. It's only 3 months after my previous breakdown. Although this time it's not so serious, but it's definitely affecting my sleep. Was coughing so badly while sleeping (probably due to the cold wind) and I told my mum that I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR! Why? Because I hate eating pills.

Unfortunately, those chinese medicine do not really improve my cough and sore throat. In the end, my mum told me I need antibiotics to get well. So? In the end I went to the doctor at last resort. >.<

I'm better now after eating these pills. Haizzz. In the end, I'm still dependant on pills.

I think my new year resolution is Restrain myself from eating too much junk food, fried food, KFC, Macdonalds, Long John Silver and whatever that is fried and oily.

Will post some photos on the trip to bird park soon.

2008-01-08T06:45:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I'm just lazy to write. To reduce my chances of writing my blog, my 3-year old desktop was not able to power on. Checked the problem and found out that it was because of a faulty power supply unit. So now, all of us in the family has to rely on the only 1 acer laptop.

In a way, I think it's good that the PC died down because I realised that all of us have been too reliant on computers. Whenever we are bored, we will always go to the computer to surf the net. For me, it's worse, I keep going to Cutie website to look at clothes. It's like a habit or an addiction. VERY VERY BAD. Now that I cannot use my computer after I come home from work, I divert my attention to other things, such as drawing, reading books and self-learning japanese.

I've been receiving email messages from Facebook like "someone has poked you", "someone has hugged you" etc...To be honest, I'm not at all interested with Facebook. Just joined in to see what's so fun about Facebook. Till now, I still do not know what's fun about it. >.< Sorry guys if u "hugged", "poked" or give me something and I did not reply. Coz now I don't even bother to login to facebook.

Dyed and rebonded my hair. I kind of disliked the "rebonded" part because IT'S TOO STRAIGHT. I know you will say, it's not rebonding if it's not straight but I just don't like it. TOO STRAIGHT!!! The reason why I rebond my hair is because my ends are getting on my nerves. Anyway, it's too late to do anything. I wonder how I'm going to get used to seeing this straightness....

2007-12-25T08:50:00.000-08:00

Time really flies. Christmas has ended and I have not more than a week before my holiday ended and going back to work. (Nooooooo, I don't want tooooo!)

I realised that so far I have not been doing something very useful lately. In fact, I have been watching all those Japanese idol videos that my sis had (she keep asking me if I want to watch so I just oblige). Some of them is damm funny so I think it's worth it. You may be wondering what idol video show I'm watching. It's the popular group called KAT-TUN. They also have their own TV show called "KAT-TUN CARTOON". Some of the series are very funny so I recommend watching it. Just search it in YouTube.

Finally had the time to went for a jog yesterday. Was so disappointed that my stamina is dammmmm bad. Now, I have muscle aches all over haha.

Took out an old album "BEST OF 99" and listened. The songs until now are still quite nice to my surprise. Of course, I also find it quite stupid now with songs like "Tarzan and Jane", "Culcutta". I especially enjoy this song "Butterfly" from Smile. Really Nostalgic. Definitely going to put these songs on my ipod.

Ok. I must really make use of all my time left before I start work. So long then~

2007-12-18T05:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I was been given a "reality check" on whether I should pursue a Design Course. The truth is, Singapore is not the place to be talking about "DESIGN". Taking Design course is like flushing your money to the toilet. When you come to the working world, there is no "Creative Design", you design what your boss or client like, not what you like.

A very dim future for a designer. Check this out: http://www.happeepill.com/home/designhell/dhell.htm

A whole lot of truth about being a designer. The truth is, you can't survive in Singapore as a designer, you will starve and suffer in Singapore's practicality.

Not just that, I listened to 98.7FM while on the bus after work. Their topic was "Passion or Being Practical". Indeed, most of them go for "Practical" while few of them go for passion.

There is one which I remembered clearly that he said he was a cartoonist for Suria Channel. However, after his contract ended, he did not receive any re-contract from mediacorp and now he was working as a security guard! OMG, this is the REALITY CHECK.

Another commented that in Singapore, "No Money No Talk". Damm True Man!

I think it's really fated that I get to hear all of these in just a day, can you believe it? Maybe I should just treat design as an interest, not as a career.

Ok. Maybe I will consider taking a Business course....Hmmm.....

2007-12-05T05:19:00.000-08:00

Oh my haven't been writing my blog. One reason could be because I'm lazy, another is because I was poisoned by my sister's uncooked nuggets which got me in a very upset stomach, feverish. I was almost a dead corpse lying on my bed whole day, unable to do anything except going to the toilet constantly.

After going to the doctor, the usual stuff from my grandma, "Don't go home so late next time!", "You must have eaten the Japanese raw food, next time don't eat again!" .....

I think I really need to exercise, staying in front of the computer all day is really an unhealthy lifestyle and that's why I became sick. My boss keep asking if my food poisoning is because of the Prima Deli Chocolate cake haha.

Now that I'm fine again, let me rant again.

What's wrong with putting Ayumi's photo? Someone said that I must be LESBIAN. OH MY GODDDDDDDDD, what's wrong with appreciating beautiful girls? They are really beautiful, god's creation. Not everyone is given such beauty so we must appreciate ^^ (unless they went for surgery like the koreans then they are not pretty) To prove that I'm not LESIAN, some handsome jap guy photos that I really like.

Cute Guy - Yamashita Tomohisa
He's more of cute that the handsome type. (Although my sis might not agree to that)

Oooo, he's cute in glasses!

I always like to see him wearing school uniform.

Sexy Guy - Jin Akanishi
One of the main singers from the popular pop group KAT-TUN. He's really SHUAIIIII and really like his sexy lips >.<. KAT-TUN would not have survived without him.

Omg. Very nice picture!

Cool, cool

Omg, his lips are sexy! He's really SHUAIII! AHHHHH!

Ok. That's about all. When I have more photos, I will post it soon. Have to pass this laptop to my sis for her project. Ja Ne!

2007-11-21T05:04:00.000-08:00

I don't really understand what is so fun about facebook. How come so many people are so addicted to facebook? It seems like I've been forced to login to facebook to add photos and accept request because someone has been telling me that she always sees a "question mark" on the profile.

Primary school holidays has started and heard that my primary school is going to close down. Awww...so many memories there. I wish I can meet all my primary school friends and tour the school for 1 last time before it was been teared down.

2007-11-12T04:59:00.000-08:00

Woah! Last week was really a long weekend for me. From Thur to Sun, a "long" holiday for me. Weeps >.< cannot enjoy 2 months holiday like we do when we were studying poly.

Thurs - Deepavali

Our family went to Sim Ming Road there to have the famous Bak Ku Teh. After that, went to Marina Square coz my sister wanted to buy a present for her friend.

Fri - Off day

Went to SP with my sis (who is now studying there). Was sort of excited to see many students going to school when they came out from the MRT gantry. Ahhh..how I wish I was still a student.... I think I'm a person who always like to think about the past. I know it's not a good thing as the saying always goes, you have to look forward, not look into the past.

Collected clothes ordered from this girl's spree called verleen who's having a lesson at T11. Only then I realised that SP has a new building beside the Engineering Block meant for Chemical Engineering / Chemical Process students. Not fair! How come they get to have a new block while IT students are still at the old block at Emei Shan!

After that, went to Emei Shan and we headed for the library. Borrowed 2 dvds to watch.

Nacho Libre is really funny. I think it's worth watching.
As for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I really like Johnny Depp acting as Willy Wonka ^^. Of course, I also liked him as Jack sparrow in Pirates.

Went home and yay, finally after a very long wait, the clothes I have ordered arrived! One big bag. I sorted my friend's clothes and her friends' clothes. It was quite fun sorting everything and I get to see what they buy also hehe.

Evening, went to meet sharon, jane, the usual gang for dinner. They picked Riverside Indonesian Restaurant (the one which they always had TV ads). As usual, I was late but lucky I saw Asikin while waiting for the NEL.

Asikin was surprised that "I STILL CAN BE LATE!" when I'm on my off day. Wahahahah. Lazy me.

Some photos taken using Siti's camera. Seriously, I think my Sony errisson phone can take a better one than this.>.<

Sharon, Jane and our good old lecturer Kenny Ong. His eyes was gleaming when it comes to talking about his 3-year old son haha. So many many photos of his son in his Dopod. Ahh, I think I need a haircut, I think short hair is more suitable for me haha.

Siti and Asikin

Okay. I don't know why siti sent me this photo? o.O Obviously, they are probably waiting for us at Clarke Quay haha and I still dare to be late! (but obviously I asked them to go to the restaurant first)

某某人was so excited that one of our colleague bought her a Doraemon soft toy for her birthday that she asked me to use my phone to take these photos.

Basically for Sat and Sun, I'm just slacking at home watching Jap Drama, Reading comic and watching Anime - D Gray Man. Really nice anime. I watch until I get addicted. Cannot stop watching haha.

Really a very funny comic! Must read. I was laughing like hell haha.

2007-11-06T05:39:00.000-08:00

Lately, my sis has been saying this new japanese idol girl who is gaining popularity because she's very pretty and acted in alot of Japanese dramas. Guys like her and many gals find her pretty too. What I can say is she's really the "natural beauty" or 自然美. She don't need any makeup to be beautiful, she was born to be beautiful. Of course, I will still say that Ayumi is still very pretty, but so is Maki Horikita.

Some photos of Maki Horikita:

Heard that she did not put makeup when acting! Oh my god, she also has good skin!

OMG! This is my favourite photo! She's so cute and innocent here!

Ok. Next are some photos of Ayumi. I really like her alot. She really has a team of very good makeup artists and producers to make her so pretty in the photos. However, I do heard from some guys that they "hate" her. Not sure whether is it because her eyes are too big haha.

Okay. Now it's voting time! Please participate in my poll at the above ^^

2007-11-01T05:48:00.000-07:00

Ahhh...back pain. Acting more like an old lady. I think probably because I haven't been exercising, getting sick twice within 3 months and eating too many unhealthy food. My body is already giving me a signal to take good care of my body haha.

Ok. I will go for a morning / evening run this saturday.

Yay! The clothes that I have ordered are coming next week. So excited!

Some photos to enjoy~ Winter Clothes! Cool~ Soo envy that Taiwanese can have a winter wardrobe.

2007-10-28T01:46:00.000-07:00

Omg. I didn't update my blog for a very long time. The reason being I'm really stuck with a lot of things. (I know someone is going to say this is an excuse again). So many things have been happening. Went to a colleague's mother wake, spent alot of money on my broken specs frames which I could not claim for warranty even it is within the warranty period, my swatch watch stopped working and had to replace a new battery. Computer went haywire after trying to force it to use the 512mb kingston ram so that I can make it run faster when playing audition. AND NOW? Lost all my dad's company latest invoices and quotations I did for him when I did not do the backup for him after reformatting my computer. Haizzz....So suay these days....or you can say for the month of October. Yah, almost forgotten, I was so unlucky to step on some "sticky stuff" on my sandals TWICE!!!! I wonder what is happening...Please god let my luck be good again >.< haha.

Woke up early in the morning to travel to marina south to go Kusu Island. Took a shuttle bus to reach Marina South Pier to take the ferry. OMG! There's so many people!!! I waited for 1 hr before it's our turn to board the ferry. The crowd is really like SIAO!

Some photos to enjoy:

<>

temple at Kusu Island. OMG It's damm hot there!

Path way

Tortises flooded with too much Kang Kong that can be used as bedding for them haha!

scenery photo

This is a very interesting "temple" because it was run by malays where "only Chinese" pray, with joss sticks burning and the malays in charge blessing the Chinese in hokkien dialect, saying stuff like "tio 4D toto, huat chai lar...". But everytime, he will definitely end his sentence with "HUAT ARH!" lol. It's quite funny and they are so enthu about saying these sentences. You get a yellow string that he will tie on your wrist at the end.

Ok. I think I rather stay at home rotting than go another trip there. It's soo crowded with people and I had to queue another 1hr to board the ferry to go back! So sian! While waiting, I sort of helped a child fixed her "windmill" because I was holding one too haha. She saw that mine was turning so well and hers was not really turning. She even requested to exchange mine with hers haha!

Oh did I mention that I was quite pissed off with a auntie who actually pushed and went ahead of me and my sis while queuing for the ferry. I had this conversation with my sis so that the "people in front could HEAR IT CLEARLY"

妹：刚才有个红衣的人推我在前面了。
我：哎呀，她要走前面就“让”她lor! 我们又不是“怕”没有船搭！

I hope the person in "red" heard it CLEARLY! All these people are damm KIASU! As if the ferry will run away if they didnt get in front of us!

Anyway, this is not the first incident I was pissed off. Yesterday, I was looking for a seat at foodcourt. As I was walking towards the seat when the couple left and next moment "less than a second", this stupid uncle "quickly" rush to sit down to "confirm his seat". There is also an incident when I went to the hawker centre with my parents. We were already standing at the blank seats and the next moment, this "stupid" couple quickly "sit down to confirm their seats" even though they knew we were standing right in front them! Next time, I think I just throw a pack of tissue paper to "chop" seat right?

Even when taking buses in the morning, these people are also showing there "kiasu - ness" Zzzz. I was "soooo proud" with these singaporean's spirit!

2007-10-11T07:14:00.000-07:00

Ok. I think I did not update my blog for a very long time. I've been busy with alot of things. The freelance project, meeting with friends, going online shopping, playing audition, playing maple, went for haircut ,helping my uncle installing his printer, fixing my computer......so many things to do so little time. (Maybe I should just stop playing games >.<)

Was so surprised to saw a secondary school indian classmate while I was on the bus. Surprisingly, she alighted off at the same bus stop as me. So, I just approached her and luckily she still remembered me and I did not call out the wrong person haha. Sort of quite awkward because I don't know what to talk to her but talked awhile on our lives. She spoke with a "ang moh" slang and I was sort of tuning myself not to speak "Singlish!" Expected with her slang since she was studying a IT Uni School in Australia or Massachusetts???

I'm not so sure but I just knew she's studying Uni overseas. And I've also realised that she has gained on weight. Ooops! Anyway, it's like 7 years ago since we've known each other. I was thinking...how time flies so fast....how i miss secondary school life. I really have to urge to go back to my secondary school to visit my teachers. >.<

Some photos to enjoy hehe.

I think I'm really soooooo bored until I was doodling some rubbish drawing on a piece of blank paper which we found it while cleaning the office drawers. Even orange was asking if I'm REALLY THAT BORED? Whenever I saw blank papers, my eyes will start to *blink blink* because I was thinking about how I can make use of these papers to draw my stuff haha.

Ok. I think I can cancel the ipod sock from my wishlist. Zi Ning (new internship student) was so kind to buy me this ipod sock! So delighted. Actually it's a fake one but I don't mind, it looks like what I wanted and it only costs 4.90!

I know my blog does not have alot of people viewing but I REALLY NEED TO SELL OFF THESE ITEMS. IT'S REALLY TAKING SPACE IN MY ROOM! All items are brand new. Interested, please let me know!

Collector of Gundam Seed Models should like this!

selling at $4 for Auel Model.

selling at $6 for Lacus Model (popular!)

Selling at $6 for this! (I'm making a loss for this but I really need to get rid of these items!)

Arigatoo Onegaishimasu!

Last but not least. I want to show you this shoe design from orange which it reminds me of the "Kim Jua = golden paper"

I'm feeling very guilty now. Ordered another 2 tops from Cutie. >.<

That's all for now! Weeps... now I have to go study my php again... I hope I can make it on time....

2007-09-27T06:30:00.000-07:00

Rainy day is definitely a very good day to sleep. Too bad that I have to wake up to go to work >.< I only slept at 1am yesterday so I'm quite restless in the office. Been wanting to fall asleep while doing the website changes in the office. I think I'm going to sleep early today so that I won't fall asleep in the office tomorrow.

Last night, was having some talk with my father and sis about Japanese surname. How come they got 4 letter characters in their name. My father said Japanese don't really have a surname. They actually got their surname from where they lived. So my father told me this story as an example. I was kind of laughing away. Let's say this guy is called 太郎 and he lives at the mountain top. Mountain top in chinese is 山上. So you combine together and you have a name: 山上太郎。lol. It's really funny how it's interpreted but I think this is how they got their surname.

Let's say for my sis's favourite idol, his name is called: 山下智久。 From the first 2 characters, you can tell that his ancestors was living below the mountain that's why the 山下. 智久 is his name.

Haha. Facscinating how japanese names derived. Ok. That's about all. I now going to surf this website that I've recently came across by chance. http://www.dannychoo.com
All you need to know about japanese culture. I think "ero" guys may like this site. Please do not be mistaken. I wanted to browse that site is because it's really a good site that depicts and writes alot on Japanese street culture and those daily life which you will not experience even if you go there for a week holiday. Really an eye opener for me but till now, my view of Japanese culture is the guys there are really "perverts", "guy dominated" and "girls are just merely a pretty vase with noo brains". Ok. I think I'm writing more like an ah-mah. haha.

2007-09-21T23:26:00.000-07:00

I had too many photos of my neigbour's baby because he's really cute and smart but very naughty haha. So I just do a quick 5min photoshop work and combine all the photos. It's not the impressive one but I thought I just wanted to show his photos because he's so cute!

2007-09-21T22:56:00.000-07:00

Wow. Today is a humid weather. I was perspiring even at home. Imagine if I go out now I think I will be wet all over. Maybe I should hang out at shopping centre instead of staying at home to enjoy the air-con haha.

Thinking of posting some photos of my sis's cranberry cupcake she made for all of us. It's quite tasty. We bought the cupcake paper from Daiso because it's cute with the cartoon designs. But I think the paper is not as good as the conventional one because it's not oil absorbent and it's oily when you touch it.

Enough for everyone!

The cupcake paper design - Rabbit = Usagi in Japanese

The cupcake paper design - Dog = Inu in Japanese

2007-09-21T10:25:00.000-07:00

It was already 1.34am when I writing this post. Suddenly, I just felt like writing. Just came back from our company gathering at one of our colleague's house at Sunbird Avenue (just opposite Singapore Expo). Her terrace house was impressive with all the beautiful furniture and looks so high class.

After having our dinner, basically they had talked almost for more than 2 hours on many things. You can say that I'm just there to listen since most of the time the boss is talking to our colleague from "How to treat a child with high fever" to "The IT industry on whose in the top chart sales" to "Some experience they shared about doing business in China". I agree some topics are quite interesting but I just feel a sense of annoymity. It's just like a generation gap between a parent and their child. I just feel like I'm "small" or I shouldn't be there kind of feeling. Haha. Not sure as to why but this is how I felt.

Meiling got a $200 voucher for being good in customer service. Good for her. Boss was telling me to fight for the next round which would be around christmas time. Yup, $200 is alot but I feel that I'm not that kind of person who would "chiong" just because of that $200 voucher, especially when I really dislike customer service job. Sometimes, I get irritated or annoyed when I'm focusing on doing my design work and the phone suddenly rang on me! I hate being disrupted by calls or unexpected customers' walk-in when I was in the "peak" of doing my work.

I know I sound unkind but this is really how I felt. How are you going to force me to like doing customer service when I'm so dedicated to doing design work? Maybe, this is not the job for me. After doing for 2 years of facing all sorts of customers, I'm still cannot get used to the disrupting calls and walk-in customers. Afterall, I'm myself, I do what I do best. I think facing all sorts of nasty customers gave me quite a good experience on this field but I wonder, Customer Service, is it really something that anyone or everyone can do it?

Ok. enough of my ranting. I need to focus my energy more on my freelance project! hehe. I think this is really what I enjoy!

2007-09-16T22:43:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, I feel that I have alot of things to write but it just disapppears in my mind when I started to write it down.

I think probably because of the air-con in our office, getting infected by a flu virus can be so easy and now I'm getting a day mc to rest at home. It's a good opportunity to tidy up my messy room and organise my things since I was unable to do that during the weekends due to my sickness. Even had to wait 2 hours to be able to see the doctor just for 5 minutes and get my medicine before leaving beauty world centre for home. During the 2 hours, had lunch, went shopping around although there's really nothing for me to buy. Eventually I came across a top which I think was not bad but was interrupted by my sis to ask me to go down to the clinic as it was near my turn to see the doctor.

An encounter with a Japanese Culture

I wanted to share this small incident with you about how "too" polite Japanese are. This Japanese customer came to our office to review at his data. Showed him the DVD. After finding that he's data was not there. He explained to me in Japanese and I was stunned by what he was trying to tell me. Then I continued by saying that if data cannot be recovered then we won't charge them a cent. He then said "sankyu" to me.

I told him to take back his "thumbdrive" and you know what he answered? He raised his hand pointing to his thumb and said "thumb?" I was like shocked as to what is he's trying to say. I can't be bothered to explain to him so I just went over to my desk to take the thumbdrive.

After signing the necessary forms, I passed him the thumbdrive and he used both hands to take from me. I was quite surprised. Does he need to be sooo formal. Then I told him "sorry" and he told me a whole lots of "sorry, sankyu, gome" and even "BOW" to be me! I was shocked. Before he left the office, he also "bowed" to all the 'staff (as if we cared)" in the office before disappearing from my sight. What a polite guy. I wonder if he still remembers this is "Singapore" and not "Japan".

2007-09-10T05:19:00.000-07:00

Ok. I've been very busy lately. Got a freelance web project from Jane. So that means I can earn more pocket money hehe. And I've been organising a Cutie Spree to order from them directly. That explains why I need extra pocket money, because I ordered 10 over items (which includes my sisters)and it costs more than $150. Omg. Burning a big hole in my pocket. So I've been controlling myself from spending $$ on clothes when I go out shopping nowadays. But I still spend on other things hehe, but not as much now so I guess that is an improvement?

Autumm collection from Cutie! Kawaii Nee!

(wanted to buy this, but it looks too winter look which I don't think is suitable in Singapore)

How I wished there is winter in Singapore and there will be more selection of clothes. >.<

Ok I will end here. Short it is but I will try to write more if I have the time.

2007-09-03T06:09:00.000-07:00

Wah. Only when people complain would I write a new post on my blog. Ok, I've just finished watching the remaining episodes of jdrama Proposal Daisakusei. It was very touching. T.T. I recommend watching it! 4 out of 5 stars. And Yamapi was so Cuuutteee in the show! Normally I like watching JDrama's Gakusei Life and Jdrama consists of only 12 episodes so it's not as draggy as Kdrama. I still have 2 more jdrama that I've bought that is still waiting for me hehe...

A present for my friend. The reason that I'm posting this picture is not because I want to boast about buying a present for my friend but because "SOMEONE" said that the RIBBON that someone made was VERY NICE and she wanted to take a photo of it. I think I can also do some advertisement for PERLINI SILVER since that bracelet she was wearing was bought there.

Haha. Now is my time to brag about my NEW IPOD NANO! So thin and small compared to my previous IPOD MINI. I chose blue since my previous ipod was a pink one. A lot of them was asking me "Green is also nice, how come you didn't choose?" Why people keep asking me to take green? I know green is nice, but I just feel that blue and pink are the only outstanding colour for an ipod. My choice was actually getting a black but there is no black for a 4GB capacity.

Better don't brag too much. If not "SOMEONE" will said that I'm HARPING on my new IPOD again.

Some photos I took last week when I went with my parents to eat the 七月 dinner or feast. I won't say it's really a feast but what I like is to see them bidding the items. The highest amount to $2000 for a very big bottle of Wine which I think is around 4 litres.

My uncle and my cousin. She really likes taking photos. You can see from her pose that she was ready for this shot. haha.

This one was taken by my cousin. She saw my phone and wanted to take a photo of her father haha. After that, she spend most of the time playing the Java games in my handphone.

Ok. My update is done. I'm off to do my dad's stuff again. Ja ne.

2007-08-25T09:19:00.000-07:00

Got a new IPOD NANO in exchange for my IPOD MINI under the Harvey Norman Warranty Claim. Of course, I still need to top up to get the new mp3 player. I topped up around half the price of the 4GB IPOD NANO.

I didn't know it was soooo small and flat when I took it out from the casing. So delicate as if I was holding an egg.

A picture of a security box which meiling told me to post. It was to put hard disks that is of "high confidentiality" which comes with a lock.

HANDSOME RIGHT? AHHHH I wish I can meet such a handsome Fedex Guy. I think he is from Hong Kong because of the background. Alot of people are saying there are alot of handsome guys in Hong Kong. So next time you know where to go for holiday right? Haha.

Although J-pop was not popular now but I'm still watching J-drama because of my sis's influence haha. Currently I'm watching this J-drama called Proposal Daisakusen. The lead actor was my sis's favourite idol. Yamapi or Yamashita Tomohisa. Handsome right? I was shocked when my sis said he was the same age as me haha.

I still have 2 or 3 more J-dramas waiting for me to finish watching. I also recommend Hana Yori Dango (or chinese drama Meteor Garden). I can tell you that Meteor Garden sucks and Hana Yori Dango RULEZ! I think those people who like F4 will like to smack me because I really dislike them. >.<

As usual, I'm very addicted to online spree-ing. Already ordered SO MANY CLOTHES that I'm shocked at how much I've spent.

Some clothes designs that I've ordered:

Hmm. Is it alot? Haha. I still have more which I haven't shown yet. OMG! Why am I spending so much. My sis said my cupboard was piling more and more clothes like a mountain. EEKS.

2007-08-22T05:12:00.000-07:00

Okok. I've been told by alot that I did not update my blog regularly. NOW, I'm going to update.

Let's start with last friday. Requested to go to Marina Square so that I could watch the fireworks display starting at 9pm.

It's a fireworks display from a spanish company. (Or so I read from the news). It's so nice! It disappears so fast from the night sky but at that instant it has captured my heart completely. I was so awed by it. The most beautifull thing I have ever seen.

难怪人家都说，美丽的东西都是短占的。因为它是短占的，所以才会更加珍惜，欣赏它。

If I would have watched fireworks everyday, I don't think I would be saying that it is the most beautiful thing.

The photos are not impressive. You have to be there to really see it. Of course, you have to wait for the next national day if you've missed it.

Today I felt like an auntie again. Went to this printing shop to print posters for my company. Because I was printing bulk, I bargain with the uncle or boss to give me a good price. Haha.

Took a taxi home because there were too many things to carry. The taxi driver was a malay uncle. The moment I set foot in his taxi, he started talking to me non-stop about his family, going holiday, how people mistaken him for being young,....poor uncle, i think he was too lonely driving taxi, no one talked to him haha.

Title: An Auntie Act

Mood: >.<

Story: I like to share this small incident with you which I feel like burying my head in the ground like an ostrich will do.

It all started when I saw this lovely pouch at Jurong Point Basement Pushcart. It has a few designs with different flowery designs. It's so sweet that I fall in love with it at first sight. Haha. The auntie approached me and said,

"啊，有很多designs的，这个(holding at one of the pouches)已经是最后一个了"

I nodded to the auntie and said "ok". Then she told me the new ones are over at the side and what I'm looking at is the display set only.

After contemplating for some time with my sis, we decided to buy 3 pouches with different flowery designs each. 1 for myself, 1 for my sis and 1 for my friend (I had promised her to give her a pouch if I came across a nice one).

So I approached auntie and asked, "Auntie, 我要买三个，有折扣吗？"

And the next thing auntie said, "Aiyoh, 小妹好心你啦！，我已经卖的很便宜了，还要折扣！"

Somemore, the way auntie said it was so sarcastic, it made me even more embarrased. A young lady who's asking "DISCOUNT!" from an auntie who in return critisize me!

My expression to her was giving a very nice smile but in my mind I was quite embarrassed by it. I felt very auntie at that very moment.

After that, I told the auntie that we wanted the 3. I even "self-help" myself to take the scissors and cut the string off the display stand. (I don't really mind actually)

After that she packed the items for us in a plastic bag. She said, "哇, 买三个啊, 三剑客 (Three musketeers)" =.= I really take my hat off her, she really has alot to comment right? I just gave her a smiling face, haha, yeah, haha.

好学不学, 去学auntie BARGAIN, and this is what I get. Hah.

SCREWED UP ONLINE SPREE

After ordering so many clothes online, not once did I encounter a spree-er who actually took our money and didn't bother to follow up with us after the items arrived. It's been hold-up for more than a month and everybody has been complaining about how they should contact this spree-er who was "irresponsible".

Managed to get her number from one of us who also ordered from this spree-er. I called her, sms her everyday starting from Aug 9 until now before she agreed to meet up to pass me the items.

I don't mean to bug her but I think it works right? (I told her I was DAMM DESPERATE to get my clothes!) Since I've finally able to get my stuff. Lol.

I don't mean to question her, maybe she was busy or she has family stuff to handle BUT without informing us about anything we will feel more suspicious and worried and thinking whether this is a "fraud case".

2007-07-31T06:44:00.000-07:00

Ok. I admit that my blog has no design BUT someone said that my blog HAS NO CONTENT TOO! =.= Might as well I just close my blog since it has neither content nor design.

I just came back from my 5-day holiday from Malaysia - Pahang - Kuantan. It is the hometown of Ann Lee. She has been inviting me to visit her hometown since hmmm Poly? Since she was going back for a short trip, I think it's a good opportunity to take time off and relax. Hehe. (Also to escape from work)

She was going to study NUS soon so this trip back was to go back and relax before starting her new semester in August. SOOO GOOD! I WANT TO STUDY!!! (This is call PEER PRESSURE lol)

I think I will not be uploading the photos yet since Photobucket has been giving me problems now! Any recommendations to change to other free image hosting?

DAY 1 - Thur
Woke up at 7am in the morning. Left home at 7.30am. My father drove me to ICA Building where I will be meeting Ann Lee there. Took a short bus trip to the Bus Terminal where we were supposed to board the bus. The bus left the terminal at 9am. I can tell you that I've been eating junk food while in the bus. Potato chips, the famous fried Seaweed...my hotdog bread and ann's hot dog bread.

The bus stopped at a very old cafeteria for us to eat our lunch. I alight the bus and headed for the toilet! Haha. Ann lee and I decided not to eat at that place because the cafeteria looks old and dirty (who knows maybe you might get a stomachache).

The bus continued its journey. We talked, eat, read magazines and had a short nap to pass time. Finally we have reached our destination. It was around 5~6pm. Ann called his dad to come and fetch us back to her home.

Before we head for home, they went to a pasar malam to buy some food and had a cooling drink. Ann said the food was nice there. I bought Char Kuay Tiao for takeaway and Ann's mum bought Asam Laksa back for all of us to enjoy.

Ann Lee's parents look REALLY young. She said his dad was already reaching 70s. I was quite impressed that he's still as strong as 50s.

We reached Ann's home, dropped our luggage, had our food (it was definitely more tasty than Singapore)before heading for the beach which is only a 10min journey via Car. Ann Lee drove me there and I was so awed by the beach. The beach name is called "Telok Cempedak". It was sooo nice! (If you compare to East Coast Park, *shake head* it was sooo much beautiful there!)

There were monkeys loitering around that area and the place was so peaceful. I wish I could just sit there the whole day enjoying the ocean waves as if I'm in heaven. haha.

Ann and I was sitting on the bench, talking about what most of us will be discussing, our future.

Went back and had our dinner. Took a bath and stayed in the room with the fan facing me while drying my hair. We sort of stayed up until 12 midnight before heading for the bed.

DAY 2 - Fri

Probably it's because of the fatigue from the 7hr long bus trip, we slept until 12 noon before we woke up. Had some biscuits and milk tea for breakfast. After that, Ann brought me to a shopping centre to shop for some items for my "DEAR ORANGE". Bought earrings and a pair of sandals. Went to a shop looking for tops and I quite liked this long white and black striped sleeveless knitted cardigan sort. Was quite tempted to buy but after the shopkeeper told me is "89.90RM", I kindly told her "thank you" and passed the item back to her. Out of a sudden, the lights suddenly went out, probably an electric short circuit. It seems that only a few shops were affected.

Ann's mother went with us and bought a 912 sliver necklace and a pendant which cost around 100RM after bargaining with the lady.

FACT: All kuantan residents speaks Cantonese. As a Hokkien, most of the time, I can only guess what they are saying. But throughout, I'm sort of listening to 98% Cantonese and 2% Chinese. Of course if you speak to them in Chinese, they will definitely reply to you in Chinese.

It almost evening when we reached home from our shopping. I saw that there's alot of tents set up like a Pasar Malam around the vicinity. People were selling Ice Kachang, Bread, Snacks etc... Ann told me that the Pasar Malam was set up every friday. So I guess if you are lazy to travel very far to get your dinner, the Pasar Malam is just across the street for you to buy your dinner. Ann Lee and I toured around the Pasar Malam. Bought soybean drinks, almond jelly and a tapioca snack. It was so fun!

Pasar Malam which is just across the street. Shot using my k800i sony errisson 3mgp camera. Hehe.

After that, we went to Ann Lee's auntie house because her aunt was also selling food to earn some pocket money. She cooked curry, glutinous rice, noodle etc. It was so interesting. You do not need to pay any rental fee, you won't get caught by the police for selling food at your home. I wish I can also do that haha.

This is their food stall. So convenient!

Her auntie also sold this fried food called "Jiu Cai Gao". It was very tasty.

Frying "Jiu Cai Gao" just outside the porch. Not sure who she is. Haha. Probably is her auntie's relative?

Another close shot of her frying.

We end up sitting behind the food stall waiting for customers to come. People passed by, cars passed by. I told Ann Lee that it will be better if her auntie could put up a sign to tell people what we are selling since alot of people don't really dare to approach the stall unless you called out to them.

TO ORANGE: If you are wondering who Ann Lee is, you can see her in the photos. Hehe.

All of us sitting outside, waiting for customers. This is ann lee's side view ^^

To be continued.... (The photobucket is making my blood boil. Takes more than 10min to upload a photo!!!!!) WTH!!! Can anyone recommend a better Image Hosting Site?

CONTINUED

We ended up sitting outside until it was time for dinner. Ann's father drove us to eat their famous "Bak Ku Teh". The place was air-conditioned and clean. Wah, it was the tastiest ever Bak Ku Teh I've ever eaten. Even while I was writing this blog, I can still remember the taste haha. The broth was so nice!! And the reason why it's called Bak Ku Teh is because you drink Chinese Tea after eating! So many herbs and spices inside this broth. I can't help but keep drinking the soup haha.

After that we went back, took a bath and stayed in the room reading my comic book before going to bed.

DAY 3 - Saturday

Another day has passed. Ann's parents has already planned the trip for today. Woke up quite early where we went off again to eat some good food for breakfast / lunch (since it's already 10-11am). Halfway through, we stopped at a supermarket which sells Kuantan's localties, Cuttlefish for me to bring home. Ann recommended those that I should buy and I proceed to the counter and pay.

Something that bugs me is the worker in that shop keeps following me around whenever I go! It's so frustrating. Ann said it is normal here since they are afraid of you "stealing" their things *eyes rolling*.

The items total up to costs $43RM as so I've heard. Gave the cashier 50RM and she gave me back 30+RM. I thought I heard wrongly, it was maybe only 23RM? So I just took the change and went off.

Off we go to this Wanton Noodle Stall for our breakfast. The noodle was hand-made by the owner of the shop and it's really very different from what I eat in singapore. They called it the Fuzhou Wanton Noodle. Tasty!

Then off again we went to our next destination, the popular beach in Pahang, Cherating Beach. For those who are planning to coming Cherating Beach can consider the resort there called "Club Med".

Before heading for the beach, we went to this "Turtle Sanctuary" housed in a Malay House. We have to take off our shoes before entering the place. It was like a muesuem which told alot about turtles and how they protected the turtle eggs before releasing them to the beach. Interesting.

Ann's father wanted to help us take a photo at the place but the camera kept turning off when he pressed the shoot button. (Somemore the 2 AA batteries inside was newly bought.)

After an educational tour, off we went to the beach. Wow! Another beautiful beach. So clean and nice. The water is so blue and the sand so clean. I was awed by it. Because it was about noon so it was kinda hot and luckily I brought my re-movable shades which I can simply just slide into my specs. We were playing with the waters because it felt soooo cooling with the water splashing our feets.

One of ann's sandals got washed off by the waves. In the end, she was walking with only 1 sandal and the other bare-footed. After that we went back home to have a rest.

After having a rest, we went to a nearby hawker centre for lunch. Ate Char Kuay Teow and a cooling desert. After that, went back, rest again before heading to another shopping centre to buy Ann's Shoes.

The shopping centre was so full of Malays...The clothes and the Accessories were...Ahem..not really my taste. Ann and I was almost shopping from the 3rd level to the 1st level without finding any nice shoes that she wanted.

Finally we came across this shop and saw this pair of shoes which both of us were aiming haha (we sort of have the same taste). She tried it on, she thinks this is the best design we can find in this shopping centre so she bought it. She also bought a bag whereas for me I only bought so food at watsons.

Went back home, rest awhile and it's time for dinner! We are going to eat out. Went to eat what we call here "Zhi Cha (hokkien)". They have ordered 5 dishes for all of us (including Ann's auntie and husband) and again I want to reiterate, it was tasty! I think I'm probably tired of eating the food in Singapore.

I always told Ann, "In Singapore, YOU EAT FOR THE SAKE OF EATING, in malaysia, YOU EAT TO ENJOY. Haha, guys do you agree?

Wow. I was damm full with so many dishes to enjoy. Went back with a bloated stomach haha. Returned to Ann's room and rest. Took a bath before continuing reading my comic. How I wish I can do that in Singapore....Haiz...So peacful..No distraction...No Computer, no TV, just me enjoying my comic peacfully. Ahh..Lol

DAY 4 - Sunday

This is the last day where I will be staying here because I will be leaving on Monday. Ann's dad brought us to see Nature's creation, the Waterfall. I'm not sure of the name but it's definitely in Pahang. We went very deep inside the forest. It was like going for a hiking trip, so interesting. Finally, we reached the destination. We were shocked that there is an entrance fee of 4RM per person to enter. =.= What the... Nowadays, people are really good at earning $$$. Heard that last time entrance was free...

Parked the car and off we went to look for the waterfall, there are alot of locals who went there to play like you were going to the beach for picnic. After crossing the rocky path, we finally saw the Waterfall! What magnificent view God has created. Haha. (The photos were with Ann so I can't really post it). You really have to be there to experience it! We went closer and closer to the waterfall. People were wetting themselves below the waterfall. How I wish I can do that too because the weather was quite humid. But be careful, the water force can be very strong so you might not want to stand directly below the gushing water. (One guy did that and he quickly "SIAM" and he was showing expressions of pain in his shoulder haha)

I think this is the best part because I have not really seen a REAL WATERFALL BEFORE, considering that the waterfall at Jurong Bird Park was man-made.

After that, we continued our trip to a temple which Ann's parents said was very famous and it was sort of a tourist attraction.

Ok, we've reached the place and we saw this entrance with a very long path shaped like a dragon's body. We were now at the dragon's end. So we were supposed to walk this "dragon's body" to reach its "head" before we can see the temple. It was definitely a long walk, took us about 15-30 min before reaching the temple.

After that, we bought the joss sticks, incense paper and start praying to all the god statues around the temple vicinity. I was very very confused as to where I should start from. You can see my blur blur face there because I have not really done this myself before. Normally, I will just follow what my mum does. Now it's like I'm doing this on my own. Luckily I was able to complete everything with the help from one of the helpers in the temple haha.

Went back home, took a rest again before heading for the Telok Chempedak beach because I told Ann I wanted to take photos of the beach using my Sony Erricson k800i Cybershot camera (omg, haolian again). It was really a good phone camera which you are going to see now. (Please click to view larger image)

If you are planning to stay at a resort, this resort is a very nice place!

This is the artistic photo (yi shu zhao) that I took. I was quite happy with this photo haha. From this picture onwards, I decided to experiment with different shots haha to take nice "yi shu zhao". In the end, Ann and I was strolling along the beach, posing our camera here and there haha.

Haha. We deliberately stepped around before taking that photo!

Ann's new shoes and my the shoe I wore to Malaysia.

Another artistic shot. I collected the sand and some sea shells while strolling on the beach.

This is Ann at a distance. I took it without her knowing haha.

I really like this beach chair found at the resort so I took a photo of it!

As it was getting dark, we decided to went back home. After resting a while, we went to the hawker centre again to have our dinner. There's even a big projector screen showing the TV show (in cantonese) while we were eating in the open space. Nice!

After eating dinner, we went back home rest again before GOING OUT AGAIN HAHA. Because Ann is meeting her 2 friends at Macdonalds at Telok Chempedak Beach (we are back again) before we set off to Singapore on Monday.

They talked for about an hour plus. Most of the time her friend is talking NONSTOP about her work and office politics. I pity her when I heard that as a Programmer cum Manager her pay is only $2k plus (which converts to 1k Sing dollars). And SOMEMORE she only has 7 DAYS LEAVE working in a small company! And she said sometimes the company even DELAY THIER SALARY by only paying half the amount! .....Ok for this part, I think singapore is still the best haha.

Bid farewell before we went back home to sleep.

DAY 5 - Monday

I have made sure that I have not left anything behind. Took some photos of Ann's house.

This was taken on Saturday night. You can see all my stuff on the floor. Untidy right?

This is one of Ann's dad car (it's a honda city old model I think). They still have 2 more cars (1 proton wira and a jeep which his father used it to go for hunting.)

Brought all our luggage to the car boot and went to have breakfast. We had Pig intestine soup with kway teow. It may sound disgusting for some who don't eat pig intestine but the soup is really nice! I don't eat pigs' intestine too but I didn't know it's so tasty when it was boiled as a broth.

After that, Ann's father drove us to the bus terminal. A photo I took while on the bus. My Cawaii Magazine and my water bottle.

Oh yah, did I mention that a Monitor Lizard went inside Ann's house. It was quite big considering that the tail was very long. We all stood on the sofa and so terrified. Luckily Ann's dad was a hunter so this puny thing was nothing for him. He managed to grab it and drag it outside and erm..kill it. I was asking Ann that do we really need to kill that thing. Ann said she never in her lifetime living in this house saw something like this come in so she said I was very lucky. (erm lucky or unlucky I will just leave it aside, hehe)

I want to thank Ann's parents and Ann for taking care of me during the trip to Pahang. I have a very happy trip there!

P.s: Pardon my grammar and language I did not have time to check >.<

2007-07-09T04:58:00.000-07:00

I'm now having a dry throat which causes me to cough and a very troublesome flu which I have to blow my nose every now and then. I even took leave on last Friday, hoping that I can get well by resting more (also to escape my work hehe) BUT....in the end I ended up doing more errands than resting at home for the 3 days......

FRIDAY
- Woke up at around 10am plus to wash up. Received a call from meiling RIGHT AFTER I finished washing up. Around 11am plus, received another call from my "er shen" to go to her house to fix her "dinosaur" laptop (she heard from my mum that I'm not working today...=.=) so that she can use her broadband connection she had just signed up. Went there but was unable to do anything since my cousin had set password for the computer. Went back home for lunch. What a busy day!

Took a short nap and called my colleague Alex to get contacts FOR MY SIS for her some projects. Checked my email and forwarded the email to my sis. It was already around 4 plus. My cousin called me asking me to go his house to fix his dinosaur computer since he was so excited that once the broadband is set, he could play MAPLESTORY.

Took a bath and went to my cousin's house. It was already 5 plus. Tried using the starter kit to detect the modem but to no avail and the speed was crawling LIKE HELL! Asked my sis to bring my laptop over and tried and IT WORKS! So that means is this dinosaur computer problem. Offered to bring back home to remove all the junk from the laptop so that it will run faster. It was already 6 plus AND I HAD TO RUSH TO ANOTHER MEETING WITH MY FRIEND. Went back home, took my sling bag and went to wait for the bus. Luckily it was just at jurong east.

OMG, I did not even have time to rest on Friday!

SATURDAY
I thought, hmm maybe saturday I have all my time to rest and get well. Suddenly, I remembered that I forgot to do something important. WOKE UP AT 7.30AM!!! In the end, I ended up cleaning up my room. In the afternoon, had to HELP MY SISTER give tuition to 2 of my cousins. =.= No rest at all. After dinner, fixed the computer my finding out what had taken up so much space on the hard disk. Did a facial mask while waiting for the laptop to defragment. At night, I talked until 2AM!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE? WHAT REST IS THAT?

SUNDAY
kk. Last day for me to rest I thought. Took an afternoon nap and my sis said she wanted to go to IMM to buy her friends' present. I decided to follow my parents and sis along. They tricked me into driving the car to IMM. Haha. Did alot of errands at IMM. Bought my flu medicine (Clarinase) and bought cherries and strawberries from GIANT. (I can tell you the queue is damm long! ZZZZ) Went back home. No rest at all. Helped my sis wrapped her friends' present. Took a bath and ate dinner before going straight to my cousin's home to pass them the dinosaur laptop. Tried another 1hr again trying to detect the modem but still to no avail. Told my "er shen" it's better to get a newer computer since it works the FIRST TIME on my laptop without ANY PROBLEMS. Went back home, played Audition from 9pm to 10pm before eating my flu medicine and then slept at 11pm.

So my moral of the story: I DID NOT GET ANY SUFFICIENT REST TO GET WELL AND WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOING FOR THESE 3 DAYS? =.=

2007-07-03T05:25:00.000-07:00

Oh my...my blog is rusting again. How long have I not updated my blog? Hmmm.... I think I'm starting to feel it a dread to go to work. Is it a sign to tell me that I should change my job?

As expected. Singaporeans are as kiasu as ever about the GST raise. Everybody was snatching up almost any discount item they could find. Haha. Heard from Orange that Bugis street was so full of people and traffic the day before the GST hike.

And July 1st you get the GST offset package. Yipee.

I'm still waiting for my Cutie spree to come. Haiz. So long. I saw the Cutie Spree website http://tw.user.bid.yahoo.com/tw/show/auctions?userID=cutie_fashion&u=:cutie_fashion

Ahhh, more NEW Clothes!!! I want to buy!!! But I have to wait for the previous spree clothes. Awwww. Please come quickly!!! Taiwan spree is always that slow...

Some new clothes I'm AIMING AT NOW haha:
(Yawn..I'm waiting for Photobucket to load so that I can upload the photos, it's always that slow. I wonder why...)

WTF! Why it took so long for the photos to upload. I'm getting more and more impatient!

Ok. I think I will just upload 1 photo because I HATE WAITING! Will upload again on my next post. :)

2007-05-22T07:52:00.000-07:00

Nu Ren Wan Sui! Long Live Women!!! Haha. You must be wondering why I said that. Lately, I have been on an Anti-Guys Mood. Probably because of the unfairness I've been getting when in comparison with guys LATELY. I started to boil inside when orange's husband told her that "Men are capable of doing BIG THINGS" and women are only meant to do "SMALL THINGS" Omg! His words really infuriated me.

What the! In the end, I blurted out everything I can argue. I won't ask any guy on any computer troubleshooting anymore! (because normally I ask the guys) I will FIND OUT MYSELF! Stupid guys!

Anyway, if you tell me the same words again, I think I have sort of cooled down...Maybe that time is like a period where I will have my "anti-guys" breakout. Haha.

In the end, orange's husband said, "You must understand the difference between men and women". zzzz What the? Before that, he was demoralising all the women to nothing and now this? =.=

2007-05-19T02:51:00.000-07:00

After I knock off at 6pm, I got a ride from orange's hubby to Great World City and took a free shuttle bus to orchard road to meet Jane, Sharon and Ann Lee for dinner. Heard a shocking news about our company's secret and was so angry that both of us were bitching away about the unfairness and I even said that I will quit after end of this year. Orange hubby was soooo quiet throughout the car ride and I wonder if he thinks that I'm really a "SUMBA PO".

I do not know why but I just feel very unfair considering I'm a web designer cum admin cum graphic designer and now we have 2 attached students here I have to "cum" another supervisor. It's like I'm the only one who has to do everything....weeps.

Meet Jane, Sharon and Ann Lee at a spagetti restaurant in Paragon. Jane just finished her exams, and she has another half a year to go. Sharon was talking about how her company has backstabbing managers and a military style working environment. From what she said, it feels like you are trying to survive in this cruel and mean world where everybody is trying to kill each other just to gain their own benefits. What a selfish world....

After dinner, Ann Lee and I managed to get a cab (finally) to go back home.

I'm sooo angry!!!! Even after I went back home, I keep on bitching to my parents and told them about the secret I knew. ARRHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I GONNA QUIT!!!!!!!

My PC was finally able to log on Audition without the lagging (although it still lags abit), thanks to my sis who actually turns off Norton Antivirus which seems to be the culprit for slowing down the internet speed! Miracle! I thought is some kind of virus or spyware making the whole internet speed slow down!

Anyway, I've managed to cool down after a night's sleep. I'm more able to accept the secret that I knew. Next time I have to be more careful in the office. However, I think I still have plans on quitting after end of this year. I have not planned what I'm gonna do next.....

2007-05-05T02:46:00.000-07:00

OMG! It has been a crazy week for me since Labour Day. I've been fixing my computer by trying to clone the old hard disk to the new one. Alot of trial and error since it's my first time doing it! ALOT OF PROBLEMS I CAN TELL YOU! Finally I got the new hard disk to run properly after removing the old one CAME ANOTHER PROBLEM!!! My internet can't work!!! One problem after another!

I almost pull out all the manual instructions about my Starhub Cable Connection and made a mess of my room. Dismantle the routers and modems with cables lying around. I was so persistent to fix the problem! After around 2 hours of debugging, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE INTERNET!!!! In the end, I called Starhub and they told me THEY WILL CALL BACK LATER!! Which is when? OMG... (anyway they called the next day which I had already solved the problem? Rolling my eyes.)

Anyway, lucky my Dad came back from work and debug the problem with me. He tried to remove the cable splitter and connect it directly to the cable box. IT WORKS!!! SHIT MAN! I've been doodling around with the computer and then it's the CABLE SPLITTER PROBLEM? ERRRR!!!!

Ok. I'm done with my complaining and bitching. If you are reading this post, please bear with me. Haha.

Lately, I've been spending quite alot. See what I bought at the cutie shopping spree.
My hands got itchy when I saw all the nice clothes! The cons about online shopping is that you need to wait at least 1 month (for Taiwan stocks) to receive your items.

Yay! I've finally bought a new phone after a very painstakingly, long wait since Chinese New Year. I've been pestering my whole family that I want a new phone. It's not that I can't afford and need them to pay, but the problem is: I'm waiting for the line to re-contract so that I can buy the phone! So I waited and waited until Apr 26 when the contract is finally 21 months and YES I have my Sony Ericsson K800i!

(FYI: I've bought the silver colour instead of black)

Why I bought k800i?
- Cybershot camera 3.2 megapixels
- Astonishing bright colour screen
- mp3 ringtone? (because my old phone was playing polyphonic tunes)
- It's like a mini computer, you can put mp3, pictures into it!
- Alot of other features which I have not explored yet.

But the con of this is: THE BATTERY REALLY FLATS FAST! I think the reason is if you are using alot of functions in the phone like camera, mp3 player, it really sucks out alot of battery.

Anyway, now I'm happy that I've bought my phone. I can finally stop complaining about not able to change a new phone after 2 years. Hehehe

It is now 1.29am from the computer clock. I should be going to sleep instead of blogging. Why? Because I'm waiting for the SPYWARE DOCTOR to scan all the files! Why am I desperate to scan all the files? Because I just came back from a company "conference" meeting and shopping at far east plaza and my sis told me that she went FRIENDSTER AND CLICK ON A LINK FROM A MESSAGE SENT BY UNKNOWN PERSON AND WAS BROUGHT TO A PORN SITE!! I think I was more or less quite "kia si" so I installed any spyware software available at download.com. So far, Spyware doctor is still the best, able to detect more spywares than the others!

Anyway, I've finished removing all the 71 spywares found. Time for me to sleep. I can now think what I can spend at John Little with my $50 free voucher. ^^

I'm getting more and more aimless and lazy. I think I really need to quit my job and think about what I want to do. I have actually thought about studying Laselle school but now it's a bit too late since the registration is closed and I don't even have a portfolio. But I think I definitely want to pursue in design because I really like to draw and design, you can say I really really really like drawing alot. Drawing anime characters especially. But I feel like a useless person lately. Doing nothing at home except to slack. No mood to do the things I like. What am I going to do?

Oh yah I wanted to attend Japanese lessons. If anyone is interested, let me know. I need a khakhi to attend lessons with me! :)

Ok. Same day as the post below. But I'm going to talk about something more cheerful! So what is it that you're guessing? hmmm. Let me see...I like to shop online ^^. I always order clothes from sgspree at livejournal. Just type "sgspree" in search engine and you will find the place. Most of the time I order clothes only from Taiwan because they look younger and hip! But nope, I'm not to talk about that. Let's see... Driving? Hmm, to tell you the truth, I don't really like driving and I think I went to get a license because my mother asked me to and my father has a car. So far, I have droven as far as bugis but I got one embarrasing secret to tell you! Hush, "I can't really park the car!" If you have read that, i think i can think of 3 answers you will give me:

a) WHAT! YOU CAN"T PARK!
b) HOW DID YOU PASS YOUR LICENSE!
c) OMG! YOUR SKILL IS REALLY KAYU!

kk. Hush now. I don't mind people saying my driving skill kayu lah but I can tell you I'm not the only female who has that problem. I've heard many stories about that. I think I'm really not fit to drive cause I'm so petite and my father's car is so "big", if you know what I mean. But nope, I'm not going to talk about this either.

Remember in my previous blog that I'm going to talk about this online game called "Audition"? Perhaps not, anyway I think I'm quite addicted to this game. Probably you will say, "aiyoh you how old already still play game!" True true i agree, but what I want to say is, everytime I see my age number jumping from 19 - 21, I'm getting more and more worried. I just want to live life young and do the things I want to do so that I will not regret. Who cares what people say. I have always been listening advices from my parents when young. I think I rejected my SMU application partly because of my parent's advice. Now, I just want to feel young before times passes away in a glimpse before you know.

kk. Let's get back to the point. So what is audtion? It actually compromise 3D characters dancing. You get to listen to lots of korean songs and many and basically you use the 4-direction keys and spacebar to play this game. Sounds boring? In the first place, I thought so but after playing it i think is fun.

(this is the screenshot of all the players' character dancing. For every move, you have to press all the arrow given correctly before the move is executed. Sounds easy, not so, cause they have very fast songs that makes your hands feeble! lol)

This is another mode, called the beatup mode, it's really more challenging, and this, you have to use the numpad (8 keys to play), not easy either for me, cause according to my sis, my reaction was SLOW.

Ok. This screenshot is funny. Basically it's a game between the sexes. Who loses will become penguins for the other group to laugh. haha.

Last but not least, you can doll up your character with nice clothes! (My favourite part!)But if you really want the nicest clothes, you gotta use "REAL $$$" to buy. Cmon let's go back to the reality, there's no such thing as free stuff in this world! I hope there is hehe.

Ok. Basically it's just a crash course of what this game is about. There's so many things for you to explore! If you are interested, kindly log on to www.auditionsea.com to find out how to sign up. IT's FREE! (oops just now I said there's no free stuff in this world, but this one is really free hehe) Wah, I'm giving "free" advertisement too! Anyway, if you really played this game, be sure to add me in as "buddy". My character name is "Yamapink"! Ta Ta. That's all!

Ok. I have flu the next day when I woke up after I came back around 12 midnight after spending the evening with my colleagues. After taking Clarinase, my flu subsides but I started getting headaches. Probably due to the heaty weather. For the whole day, I slept thinking my headache will get better but to no avail. Even during the night when everyone was sound asleep, I kept tossing and turning and always have the feeling of intermittent hot and cold. It was very torturing for me. Lucky that my grandma advised me to take my sis's medicine (because she also had the same problem as me), am I able to get a few hours of sleep peacefully.

Torturing it is for me when i think about all those pills which i have to swallow. Pity for me that i can't really swallow those "big" pills. I don't really quite understand why i can't but whenever i do swallow these "big" pills, i have to force myself not to vomit out.

Now i don't even have appetite to eat. My appetite is getting smaller which I'm surprised with myself too. Hope I'm not the victim of those anorexia kids which i saw on tv. haiz.

Why am I so weak? I was always that weak since young. I still can remember visiting the doctor at his beauty world centre clinic so often that I think he can remember me.

Now, not just my body is weak, my mind is also weak. I'm feel dreadful going to work. Not because of the colleagues or the boss. I'm also sick of working on the stuff I'm doing now. Although I won't say entirely, but part of it is. Maybe, when my boiling point has reached it's limit and burst, I think it will be the end of this job.

Hahh. I finally to scrap off my previous design (letting it bleed to death) without improving it. I really don't have the time to change it! >.<>.<

2007-02-08T05:19:00.000-08:00

Omg! It's been a crazy week for me. Let me tell you how crazy it is.

4th Feb - Sunday
As my driving test is the coming tuesday, I went to the temple to pray to let me pass my driving test. ><

5th Feb - Monday
I took leave for this day so that I can train for the last time before I go for my test tomorrow. Unexpectedly, I woke up 6am in the morning because of a stomach pain. Went to the toilet and "lao sai". My diarrhoea was so bad that I keep wanting to go to the toilet to relieve whatever I eat and drink. I started vomitting after that. I can say that my body went upside-down. No appetite and no rest. I even have to drag myself with the pain to attend the driving lesson (I wanted to cancel it but the instructor insist that I should attend so that he can point out my mistakes).

Went to see the doctor to get my medicine as my diarrhoea is not getting any better and I have to go for my test tomorrow.

6th Feb - Tuesday
Feeling much better after a night rest and the doctor's medicine. Woke up 6am in the morning again to meet my instructor. Another tormenting experience while I'm waiting for my turn to go in to get my test route number. Keep telling myself not to get so nervous and just be normal. After the torment, I'm relieved that the traffic police passed me! Wah! Finally, I don't need to spend anymore $$$$ on driving. I just do not know why I feel so heart pain when I spend my $$$ on driving lessons.

7th Feb - Wednesday
Went back to work with more work!!!! Getting ready alot of materials for our company's upcoming press release and marketing promos.. Arrrr, damm busy..

Today. Worse. Run errands to alot of places for our marketing promos. From Funan IT Mall to Sim Lim Square. From Sim Lim Square to Suntec City. From Suntec City to Bugis. From Bugis and back to office!!!! I'm sooo tired....

2007-02-04T03:47:00.000-08:00

Oh my godddd!! I haven't written my blog for 2 weeks. Haiz. What have I been doing...New Year's coming and my room is in a mess. Bought a whole lot of clothes and I stuff it in the cupboard, not washing it. AHHHHHHH!!!

Now, the tv in the room was showing the final ASEAN Match of Singapore vs Thailand. Now Thailand is leading with 1 - 0. Of course I would wish that Singapore would win but now that they are playing in other people's land, the pressure is more or less there. The match I've watched at the Kallang stadium where Singapore vs Malaysia was a very fun experience. Most of us locals went there in red and the whole stadium was full of Singaporean spirit. Did the kallang waves and we "boo" at the oppenents and "yay" at our team. Although I agree that "booing" is a very bad thing to do, but we all know that we meant no mean intentions, we are just trying to show that we singaporeans are very supportive of our own team. Lol.

Ok. Now my life is like: Dirty room, playing maple, audition, go work, eat ,slack, driving lesson, shopping and the whole routine repeats again...=_= How bad can it get......No self-discipline at all! School is still the best. Haizzzz......

Ok. I have more things to write for my next post. And my layout still sucks! Hello me? Do something about it!!!!
