Busy June!

June has been a busy week fer me! Never has time flown by so quickly before (with the exception of holidays - time goes by in supersonic mode when you are enjoying yourself) and I couldn't even stop to catch a breath.

Basically, I bummed out with a friend who was retrenched and free for the most of the weeks that her former company gave her to look for a new job while still on payroll. We went shopping, had coffee, watch serials on mobtv, went cycling at ECP... and even did a day of flyer distribution! It was kinda fun, especially when most of the days in May went by in boredom. We also celebrated LY's birthday, and surprised her by having the staff at Breeks Marina Square bring out the prezzie and cake while singing "Happy Birthday" as loud as they could muster. Loved that surprised look on her face. Too bad I wasn't quick enough to video the moment.

Started on a part time job just this past Tuesday. It's quite fun job. Think I might just continue working there after school starts. Need some moolah, what with all the costs going up... sighs...
Don't really have time to upload photos onto my blog these days. I need sleep! haha I am one who needs at least 7 hours of sleep, or I will be grouchy and tired the whole day. But will try to do so. Some of the pics are in my fb, so if you have added me as a friend on fb, you would be able to see the photos!

Needa go catch my beauty sleep now. Still gotta wake up early tomorrow to go work. Been a long time since I have to work on weekends. Good luck to me.

Back... Finally?

Ya I know it's been more than 6 months since I last posted any updates on my life. For one thing, I was real busy with school stuff what with tons of projects and tests to cope... well, there wasn't much excitement going in my life too. Somehow I feel... lost. I don't know where I am going, what my aim in life is. Suddenly everything is a blur. I don't know what I want, what I am doing, what I should be doing. I am just like a robot. There are times when I cry myself to sleep. Those who are close to me will know that I ain't one who cries easily, yet these days I do...

Watched Made of Honour the other day with JC and her sis. And yeah I cried. During the scene where they were talking to each other behind closed doors. Actually, the show's plot is quite predictable, so if it's the usual me, I wouldn't cry. But... the story reminded me of someone... Someone whom I never had the guts to reveal my feelings to, because I was afraid of losing his friendship. Yes I am a coward. There are times when I wonder if I am capable of loving... and if there is someone out there who loves me...

I am a lost sheep now, looking for a shepherd to guide the way out of the fog...

Exams Over... It's The Holidays!

Phew! It's been a long time since I last updated my blog. Been really busy with school stuff, especialli exams. What a nightmare! It's finally over (for now). The emotional rollercoaster that came from all the stress was unimaginable, and the thought of having to go through it for another 3 semesters is making me go berserk... haha well, I chose this path myself, so I've got no one to blame. I shall enjoy this 1 month break that I am having, before school starts again next year. I shall slowly update my life throughout the holidays. There will be more posts coming up! As for now, this is it. Hahaha

The meaning of friends...

You know, it's funny how some people conveniently forget about you, especially when you do not call them at all. Talk about friends. Some will just forget you when they feel you have no use to them. Not living in the same precinct or working in the same area is a poor excuse for not meeting up. How big can Singapore be? And with technology so advanced, everything's just a call away. Is a call or a message to say how much they miss me so difficult? Maybe... I am not that important. People seem to look for me only when they can't find other people to go out with. And some meet up without me. But well, I guess that is life. They forget about you when they find newer, more exciting friends. Some friends are meant to be treasured, while some... well, I shall not say more. I will just cry...
I am one who treasures the people around me, and that includes friends. While I do make new ones, I never forget the old. I am that loyal. But seems like loyalty is not that important anymore. Whether you have any use for that person seems more important. That seems to be the modus operandi of people today. Guess this is where I don't quite fit in...
I just need someone to care about me... Is it that difficult to find that someone?

Convo . Tattoo . Fireworks . School

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog... Sorry guys, was caught up with school stuff and work and had no time to update! Well, here's a gist of what happened so far...

July
Joined in the NMC competition with LN in July. We didn't get far though, maybe cause the power of the two is not enough to beat the competition down. Shall make sure to get at least 2 comrades the next time round... Hahaha
Went for GY's convocation at NTU on 25 July. Saw CS and YT there as well, and that was when I realised that they have graduated too! Was surprised to see the two of them, as I have not seen them for a long time. Didn't really talk much though. Guess everyone's tired after a long day. Went for supper with GY, QJ, and CT at AMK Mos Burger and chit-chatted till 11 odd, and headed back home after that.


Accompanied my dear cuzzie ZH to get her 2nd tattoo at Johnny Two Thumbs on 31 July. She decided to get a wing done above her current tribal sun tattoo. Photographed the whole process and boy! Did it get me tempted to get one myself! But I have not thought of what to get yet... Sighs... I want one that is perfect, one that I will not regret. But I have no idea what to get. Should I get tulips (my fave flower)? Or should I get a rendition of Rei (a character from Evangelion)? Or maybe my own Chinese name? Any suggestions anyone?


August
Been rushing my Employment Relations essay for the past month. Did quite a lot of research for the essay, so much so that I did not have much time to type my essay out. Was rushing the last week before the deadline on 24 August to finish it. As for the result? Thought it was good, but not as perfect as I hoped it to be. Well, I guess this teaches me a lesson on time management.
Found time to go and watch the fireworks on 18 August. Boy! Were the fireworks beautiful. But according to my friends, the one on the 17th was much nicer. Well, for me, it doesn't matter, as all fireworks are beautiful!Photo whored while waiting for the fireworks to start, and my battery ran out just a few minutes into the fireworks display. Too much photo whoring I guess. Haha. Nevertheless, caught a few pics before my battery died off. Am waiting for SJ to send me the video of the fireworks. Shall try and upload it (if possible) when I get hold of the video. Shall upload the photos the next time round. Stay tuned!

Little Anjec!

There's a new addition to my blog, and that is.... Little Anjec! He's a cute little hedgehog, and boy, do I lurve him to bits! Yeah, my new little pet is a male. No special reason, just thought that it would be nice to have a little boy for my very first virtual pet. So today shall be little Anjec's birthday. Let's all sing Happy Birthday to Anjec!
Happie Birthday to you,
You are born in my blog!
Happie Birthday to Anjec,
Happie Birthday to you!!!

And oh, you can play and feed Anjec. Click on him 1 time and he will jump with joy. Click 3 times and he will roll into a cute little ball and bounce and roll. Click on the 'more' tab and you can feed him!

Working and Swimming and Studying...

I am totally tired out! Went swimming at around 5 today, and boy, did I swim! I think this is the longest that I have swam for so long. I have never been a good swimmer, so it was kinda surprising that I could swim for 90 minutes. Of course I did rest in between lars, but still... Think my stamina has improved bit by bit, which is a good thing, since I am going fer the Shape run come September. But really felt the after effects of swimming so much. My eyes were red (I didn't wear goggles to swim), and my right arm is totally sore and numb... and am feeling tired from the exertion. Think I am getting addicted to swimming. It's much more fun than working out at the gym, and at least it won't make my boobs shrink (according to my dearest cousin, running makes boobs shrink, and I realised mine has grown smaller... muahahaha) and it doesn't put strain on my back that much as running does. The last one's a big deal, since I had a major op on my spine and it's not good to strain my back too much.
Learnt a lesson yesterday, and that is: Never drink wine on an empty stomach. Well, I am always careful on not drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, but yesterday I kinda forgot about it. What happened was, yesterday was my first day at my part time job, and I was kinda happy that everyone's been good to me (so far), so when my friend offered me some wine after the event was over, I just drank it, thinking a little won't hurt. What a big mistake. Vomited when I got back home, and took me a great effort just to shower and go to sleep. Luckily I didn't suffer any hangovers. At least I am not that weak... muahaha
Needa do some studying tomorrow... played abit too much for the past week...

Back To School . Miami Ink

After a hiatus of a year and 6 months, I am back to the world of studies again. And it's time to enjoy life again! haha, well, being a poor student, I doubt I can do much to enjoy life. Student = Budget lifestyle, haha. Well, guess have to find some cheap and fun ways to enjoy life. Hopefully, I won't fail any of my modules.
I have been watching Miami Ink on Discovery Channel (Ch 16) lately, and I am impressed by some of the works that the tatto artistes have done. Some were totally cool! And Ami James is so cool! Haha Lurve those potraits that Kat has done for her customers. They all make me so want to get a tattoo done myself. What shall I get? Hmm... Something beautiful and original... Have not get an idea yet, but well, a good design needs time to come up with.
Realised I have gained some fats recently. Must be eating too much good food lately. Time to go and hit the gym! Haha, why can't I have the genes where I can eat and not grow fat...

Getting To Know Myself Better...

Was browsing JC's website, and saw her posting her personality test result. Decided to take it myself since I was kinda bored. Here's the results:
Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. -hmm... sounds like true...
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person. -well, I certainly hope I am that good with my instincts, to have me know who Mr Right is as soon as I see him.
The seriousness of your love:Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. -Not true lehs... no guys are asking me out... *sob sob*
Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. -Very true at this point of my life.
The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

50 Ways To Cook Instant Noodles - Part 3

I know I have not written anything on my blog fer quite some time. Just before I update on the happenings of my life fer the past few weeks, here are some more recipes for cooking instant noodles:

空虛的感覺

For some reason unknown, I am feeling down lately. It's not that my life is in a mess, or that something bad has happened, it's just that I feel... down. Empty. Especially when it seems everyone doesn't seem to think I am that important a friend, and they seem to have something else better to do other than go out with me... it seems as if like I am there as a friend, 'just in case' they can't find anyone to go out with, they can look for me. Of course not all are like that, but well... guess I am in a weird kind of mood too... Maybe I've got hormonal imbalance... haha
Sometimes, I feel I give more than I receive. I have never felt pampered by a person before. Not even from friends. Some expect me to know them inside out, yet they never bothered to find out more about me. Some will only come lookng for me only when all their other friends are not free. And some... never mind. Forget it. Just to lazy to type. But well, I just feel so tired of giving and giving. All relationships, be it friendship or love, should be a 2-way traffic, at least that's what I think.
Maybe I should go find a remote forest and live there. So that I don't need to care about politics and all these confusing relationships and all...
Okay, I shall not go on rambling. Or I will go on forever. This song suddenly popped to my mind, and it seems to describe part of what I am feeling now quite aptly...

从没说过爱着谁
为谁而憔悴
从来没有想过对不对
我的眼中装满疲惫
面对自己总觉得好累

我也需要人来陪
不让我心碎
让我爱到深处不后悔
其实我并不像他们说的
那样多刺
难以安慰

爱人的心
应该没有罪
为何在夜里却一再流泪
每天抱着寂寞入睡
生活过得没有滋味

别问我是谁
请与我相恋
我的真心没人能够体会
像我这样的人不多
为何还要让我难过

别问我是谁
请和我面对
看看我的眼角流下的泪
我和你并没有不同
但我的心更容易破碎

Atelopus Frog

Was aimlessly surfing the net when I came across this article in Yahoo, which talks about the discovery of the atelopus frog, which has black skin with flouresecent purple markings, in Suriname, a tiny country in South America. The frog is one of the 24 new species discovered in the remote plateaus of eastern Suriname.

These new discoveries goes to show the amzing variety of animals as well as plants that inhabit Earth. We, humans, who has the power to protect, should help and do something to stop all these beautiful creatures from disappearing from the surface of our blue planet. A little goes a long way. One of the small things we can do is to cut down our use of plastic bags and not waste water and electricity. I am learning too, step by step, to help Earth. To quote a commercial shown on Discovery, It's not as if we can go shopping for another planet. So, let's do our part, no matter how small, to save Earth. Every little measure adds up.
