Ame…is “rain” in Japanese. Yupz, it’s been raining all day already.

I guess since half a semester has gone by without much projects, they are taking the opportunity to make up for it in the second half of the semester. ORDS, STMD, ADID, IN3D, HR MGT… Time is running out. Gotta get out of slacker mode.

Rajes had a good surprise for me. Since I skipped HR tutorial last week, I didn’t get to see my term test paper for HR. She told me I got 35/40 which is the highest in the class! *jumps up and down* I couldn’t believe my ears coz it was last minute studying and the last question on On-The-Job Training, I didn’t study that so I just crapped whatever I could.

Mum decided to cook dinner today. And whoa…did she cook a good spread. She tried cooking nestum prawns but it turned out a little too buttery. I love Mum’s cooking simply coz she knows what we like and what we don’t like.

PK has entered the pillow fight pic for the digital photo competition. I suggested she entered that one. So exciting! Ermz Jo…hope you don’t mind. I know you took that photo for us but the digicam’s PK’s… Anyway, to view the pic, click here. *encourages* You guys all go try and take part ok? No harm trying…

Wahahahaha…*rofl* I was looking at Sis’s cookbooks. Came to one with a title in cursive. Looking upside-down, it looked like “nutritional food”. I quickly glanced up and saw it was a book by “Reader’s Digest”. My slow mind decided to put the 2 set of words together and I went “oh…it’s by Reader’s Digestion!” to my Sis. As soon as those words escaped my lips, I realised my mistake and started laughing so hard that tears formed in my eyes.

Getting a little frustrated… These days my computer keeps giving me problems. Either it doesn’t start up right so I gotta restart a few times. Or else I can’t install some program coz the program has encountered an error and has to close. Like I need to use Apache for STMD but it refuses to work. Super duper bleargh. Don’t tell me I need to defrag my computer again?

Had dinner at Mac with Mum. We were looking for a light meal coz ate too much for lunch.

Finally talked to Dad about going pubbing. He said he knew about it coz Sis told him already. Anyway, he was cool about it. Yupz…that’s what I like about Dad. He allows me to make my own decisions. Not saying that he doesn’t worry for me, he does caution me about the dangers but he lets me try things on my own instead of saying no straightaway.

Just saw someone’s quit message in IRC #jpop. “The greatest pain is not to die but to be forgotten and ignored”. I’ll agree with that. Heh.

Woot. Heavy rain now.

I was commenting a few days ago on Raynor’s blog about how I’ve learnt some time ago that most of the time, we do things to please others when it is said that we should do things to please ourselves.

Well, classic example came along in Wan Ping’s blog. I think she was doing badly for cheena all along and she got a B3 in the A’s. Something wonderful right? So, excited her called her mum to tell the good news. Yea…and all her mum said was “oh ok” and then hang up the phone. By the way, her mum expected an A.

Enough said. I don’t think I need to cite anymore examples. And besides, doing things to please ourselves would be deemed as being selfish right?

Cheng Huat decided to unlock his blog and put back his tagboard. For the benefit of all his readers… And the tagboard’s again plagued with those super bo liao people again. Hmmm…I even wonder if it’s just one person.

Anyway, it’s funny how these people waste their time. And none of his friends are posting on the tagboard to defend him. I think they’re all watching the “show”. Laughing at how these people waste their time trying to make Cheng Huat look like a fool when in actual fact, these people are making fools out of themselves.

digital photos

by

Hehe…uploaded new photos. As in new set of photos. The photos were taken some time ago. 5 of them taken in Australia last year.

The response for the drama screening wasn’t good. There weren’t any non-members. The response for “Moon Child” was better. Maybe coz that day was Open House. And people are more aware of that movie since there’s more publicity for that movie. Dramas…ehz…unless there’s some famous actor or actress. Unfortunately for “YUA”, there aren’t any well-known artistes. Unless you’re pretty into Japanese stuff then you’ll know who Sachie Hara and Misaki Ito are. Or if you watched “To Heart” before then you should find Sachie Hara familiar.

Some idiot pulled off the YUA poster/notice from the IT school noticeboard. Lucky I had an extra copy that’s already stamped with the SAA stamp.

Hehe…it’s been some time since I ate food court food. Didn’t know the Century Square food court has a western food stall. The chicken chop’s gooooooooooood. For $5.50, you get the chicken chop, fries, baked beans, salad leaves, piece of bread and a sunny-side-up egg. And they are pretty generous with the sauce.

Dinner with the family at Sento.

Got Arashi’s new single from HMV. *Per, you read that?*

I’ve decided to take part in the IDA Fun Moments! Online Photo Competition. I knew of this competition through my singnet account. That’s before Lee Leong put up an enticing notice on Ole. All STMD students who take part in the competition, if they win, he’ll award them extra marks for STMD. Wow wee… I’m not exactly concerned about the extra marks coz they just come as a bonus. What bothered me was what pic to use to enter.

My home toilet is not named my thinking place for nothing. After spending time in there, bathing and thinking at the same time, I finally decided on a pic to enter. Well, it took me THAT long to decide coz I didn’t want to enter something that was pretty common. Used a few skills that Miss Chia taught us before. To think more…not just the usual.

Anyway, if anyone’s interested to take part, click here. Good luck!

To end off this entry, a piece of good news. Noah’s Ark has resumed “business” in Johor after their lease in Singapore was up. There’s hope once again for more abandoned and hurt animals. Unlike SPCA, Noah’s Ark does not put to sleep any animals due to lack of space.

This does not mean I don’t support SPCA. It’s just that people gotta learn that having a pet is a huge responsibility. This animal relies on you to give it a home, food and tender loving care all its life. Don’t give it hope only to cruelly snatch it back.

And of course, cruelty to animals is evil.

Wallpaper update…it’s Jessica Alba as Honey Daniels. Winamp skin is Ai Takahashi from Morning Musume in the song “Go Girl! Koi no Victory”.

hip hop

by

Yay! I caught “Honey” with Nad today. Hehe…the 2 of us were dying to watch that movie.

Met her after school at PS. The movie was cool. Although it doesn’t really have a storyline, but the hip hop dancing is cool. Hmmm…but the meaning behind the movie’s good too? Coz the main character Honey Daniels (played by Jessica Alba) teaches hip hop dance to street kids so they’ll have a good future instead of letting them waste their lives on crime and drugs.

Got back my ORDS term test script. And I…passed! Thank God! I heard a lot of people failed. I thought I’ll be one of the failures coz I really have not much idea on ORDS. Although it was a borderline 45/75 but that’s ok for now. Gotta pull up my socks though.

Tomorrow’s JCG’s drama screening of Taiho Shichauzo (You’re Under Arrest). Am helping out.

The kitty pic on Nad’s blogcam reminds me of her…

The orange kitty in IT canteen. This pic was taken by Sof.

The IT fair is back. IT SHOW 2004 at Suntec from 11-14 March. There are 3 things on my mind. A new digicam…since there are problems sharing it with Sis. Plus I still have battery problems. Not sure whether it’s the digicam or the batteries. Anyway, if Mum doesn’t agree on this then I’ll probably save up some money to get one.

Laptop. Hmmm…not exactly a die die must get but still worth giving it a thought.

Thumbdrive. I think my zip drive’s spoilt. And I don’t wanna risk more zip disks getting spoilt. Every new zip disk is $15. I’ve actually thrown away about $45. You do the math. A thumbdrive is also not a die die must get. I’m actually deciding whether to get my zip drive checked, replacing it and then forgetting about getting a thumbdrive.

PK…you bought your digicam at the fair before right? And you were saying that you got a good bargain out of it right?

Anyway, those interested in the fair. Details here. I’m planning to go. Anybody wanna join me?

A certain thought just crossed my mind. Sometimes we act the total opposite to hide what we really feel. I guess it’s a way to give yourself more confidence or it could be plain deceiving yourself.

I realised I was acting in an all crappy manner at home a few days ago. That was coz I was feeling nervous about something. Well, I started acting like a siao char bor. Laughing out loud at all the slightest things. Although I found it weird, I couldn’t stop.

I see the same thing with Sis. Mum was the one who pointed it out to me. When Sis gets stressed or her sanity is hanging on a thin line, she starts acting like a siao char bor too.

Not saying that whenever I act like a siao char bo means I’m nervous or insecure about something. There are times when I simply am just like that.

Anyway, that day when I was acting funny, Desmond was telling us about how there are monkeys near his camp. Then Mum joined in saying that yea…these monkeys even have gangs. I found that very hilarious. And a picture of 2 monkey gangs appeared in my mind. You know how staring incidents are right? So…

Monkey gang 1: *stares at monkey gang 2*
Monkey gang 2 leader: Wah lau. Stare stare for what? See their faces already buay song. Come! Long zong hoot ah!

*and both gangs start fighting*

Typical staring incident.

I skipped HR tutorial this morning. Too sleepy.

I wonder how’s Xianglin and her results. PK…CJ…all the other A’level students. Hope everything goes fine.

Some would laugh. Others would cry. Some or a particular few would jump out of their chair so hard that their watch would fly about a metre away *tsk tsk…Dorothy at O’level results day* *rofl* Anyway, just accept whatever there is. Look and work towards a better future.

God bless.

some more

by

I really should be asleep by now since I have a 9am class and classes end at 6pm for me.

Darn…my handphone keeps flashing that “Battery Low” sign.

Gotta remember to choose my CDS for next semester. I didn’t even know it’s open for selection. Didn’t even dawn to me when Jillene called regarding selection of electives for her. Only dawned to me when Wei Ming wanted to go to the library to make his selection.

Usually I would wake up just in time for the opening of selection. Kiasu lahz…

Haha…reminded me of how my conversation with Jillene started. Hilarious…a bit paiseh too. She called me. Since the number didn’t have a name, I asked who’s that. I heard “Eileen”. And she was going remember me? Xianglin’s friend? I was getting very puzzled. And she repeated her name clearer. Haha…

She’s got a new number that’s why. Haha…make me so blurz only…

And now, the voice in my head yells at me to “GO AND SLEEP NOW!”. *mumbles* Alright alright…

and tell me everything’s gonna be alright

by

Today can be classified as bad and good at the same time.

Finally had lunch with you guys. Something we haven’t done in a long while. Hey, hope we could be like this in 5 or 10 years down the road. Meet up again for a chat and a cuppa.

Went to watch a movie after school. “Timeline”. Heh…I had no clue what the movie’s about intially. As long as it’s not horror or gory will do. The movie turned out to be not bad. This is the second time I watch a movie without knowing what it is about beforehand.

Halfway through the movie, Nad sms-ed to ask whether I watched “Honey” already. She wanted to watch it. There was 7.10pm and 9.10pm movie slots. 9.10pm would be too late since there’s school tomorrow. Besides, I wasn’t sure what time “Timeline” would end. Well, it ended before 7pm so I thought maybe I could meet Nad and we could watch “Honey”. That’ll be like a movie marathon.

Turns out she’s just leaving her workplace. So by the time she travels back to Tampines, it’ll be too late. Anyway, we just settled for dinner at Swensens. She needed some company to take things off her mind.

While waiting for her to arrive, went walking round the mall. Bought a top from 77th Street. Went to Toys R’ Us. Childhood memories…wish I was a kid all over again. More innocence, less problems. The world is just one happy place to live in. Went to look at my favourite section. The My Little Ponies. *smilez*

Nad arrived. Had dinner. It was nice talking to her. Reminds me of the time at Long John’s *winks* She became a listening ear to my problems. I listened to all she had to say about her workplace. She really went into detail about her workplace. Describing what she does, the funny things that happen. She wasn’t ready to talk about her problems. Hey Nad, anytime yea…

And she treat me to dinner! Thanks! *hugz* Next time’s my turn ok? And thanks for meeting up. Really appreciate it since I had some things on my mind too. So we both needed a breather. 🙂

I’m quiet only for 4 reasons. 1) I really have nothing to say. 2) I don’t know the person/people well. 3) There’s something bothering me. 4) I don’t usually have a lot to say. Most of the time it’s coz people ask me questions.

Tomorrow’s the ORDS mock lab test. Gonna get back my ORDS term test script too. I think I’m gonna flunk it. 🙁

memory loss

by

Yea…another post. Decided that it didn’t feel right to go under the previous post title. So there.

Thank God for me and my “wonderful” memory. My memory needs a little push to remember things.

Just yesterday, I saw Per online with her nick “Little Miss Chookies”. I was puzzled why she used that nick. Coz Australians call chickens, “chooks”. She replied that she used to use that nick. Well, that was a push to my memory. And I remembered she told me before that coz of a typo error, “cookies” became “chookies”.

Aunty Mdm Heng *cleaning lady* called today to tell Mum about the vacuum cleaner. Mum asked both of us about it. That’s when I realised I forgot to tell her about it. Aunty told me on Monday to tell Mum about it and I cleanly forgot about it. Oh dear…

And lastly…I forgot to mark down on my calendar to keep the evening of 20th March free. Going to the shakespeare play *the pic that I posted earlier*. When Sis told me, I told myself to go write it down on my calendar. Guess what…I forgot.

I keep forgetting to ask Raynor whether it’s ok to upload the flash file *for the music here* to trilight. Don’t want to get him into any trouble.

God knows what other things I’ve forgotten…

fullstop

by

Thought that the fullstop might be drawn tomorrow. But I guess it was meant to be drawn today.

And with that, another chapter ends. I had to make a decision fast. And I believe that when a decision/choice is made, don’t turn back. I do not regret anything. There is no room for regrets, only to look forward to what’s to come from now on. Whether good or bad, life still has to go on.

Remember the wallpaper before this? The Ayu one? The words “Some things are meant to be left unsaid”. Some things were truly left unsaid. But by the simple actions, all was said. Actions really speak louder than words.

Alrighty now…Elisia-chan, ganbare!

I went to TM after school with the hope of checking out clothes. Feel like adding on to my cupboard of clothes. Ended up feeling lazy since I bought dinner. Didn’t want to carry my food all round. That didn’t mean I went home empty handed. I bought a few more colour pens. Mehehehe…colour pens make me happy. Have like tons all around the house but who cares. Seeing those colours and using them to decorate this and that makes me happy. Call me weird if you like…I oh-so don’t care.

Woot…today’s episode of CSI left me a little sayless *a word invented by Nad to replace “speechless”*. To think an 8-year-old girl can murder an old lady. Stabbed her with a pen. And the girl wasn’t even sorry for what she did. She had this pretty scary hateful look on her face. Her words reeked with hate. And all she wanted was the old lady’s cat.

Someday I should take a photo of our storeroom. The purpose of a storeroom is to store all the bits and pieces that do not exactly belong or fit into the other rooms. Or the stuff that’s seldom used. I think our family makes FULL use of it. There’s hardly any walking space left. And should anybody need something from the cupboards, they yell for me aka spiderman to climb to get stuff. -_-|||

Haha…Sis and I often laugh about it. Remember those programmes? The ones where they come and makeover your house for free? Or the ones that compete to win an award for best house or something? Wahahahahaha…they’ll NEVER choose ours. We have TOO MUCH junk! *rofl*

hungryyyyy

by

Mr Shaw should seriously hurry a little. It’s already half an hour since class dismissal and he hasn’t gotten to me about my lab test. And my stomach is growling louder by the minute. Yea…those who have heard it before would classify my stomach growls as thunder.

And so…the fullstop hasn’t been drawn yet. Guess it’ll be tomorrow.
