I'm in the midst of my last, and probably the most fruitful recess week. Fyp is still taking lots of my time, but I'm happy that we're starting to see results, and I'm really grateful to have Sy and Wf who have been very understanding and fun to be with.

Besides fyp, I'm busy trying to sleep early. My body will protest whenever I sleep late by giving me a very swollen eye or cracked lips the next day. I almost went blind when my contacts got lost in my swollen eye that day so I'm really scared now. Trying to get myself on bed by 12am every night no matter wat.

By the way, I'm starting to like coffee. I cant start my day proper without a cup in the morning. It keeps me more awake than I usually am. When I start working, I'm gonna get myself a coffee machine and I'll make coffee for myself every morning. A Moka Pot would be fine too, if I manage to find one in Sg.

A quote from a coffee lover:
When I'm not at home, I'm in the cafe. When I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way there.

Love how the Italians start their day by going to a cafe, enjoy their coffee, read the papers, then to work. Can we have such a lifestyle in Sg?

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

To couples, stay happy and loving!

For the singles, forget any unhappy past and find a better one soon!

I've been very moody since sunday nite. The stupid fringe aside, I'm spending 90% of my time on the sucky FYP! My life is all about reading papers, one after another, never ending papers. And there's so much work to do before going for the new year break. Not in the mood for new year anymore. :(

The Haircut (2)

I was waiting for my turn to get my hair cut and was telling my mum I hope I dun get the Auntie (there were 5 of them - 2guys, 2ladies and 1 auntie). My mum was telling me its ok, if I really get the Auntie, I can ask the uncle after me to go ahead first. Then I was thinking its not very nice to do that, and its not nice to judge a person's professionalism by the age and appearance. So when it was my turn and I really got the Auntie, I decided to go ahead and not sabo the uncle after me. Thats how I got my new fringe.

Lesson learnt 1: When you choose not to be cruel to others, you're being cruel to yourself.

Lesson learnt 2: When you're a consumer, you have the right to fight for the best service you may get. And fight for it even if others may think you're calculative, picky, or watever, cos you're paying for it!

Lesson learnt 3: Dun act smart.

I still dun feel like going to sch later.

The Haircut

The purpose of this entry is to prepare those who will be meeting me in this 2weeks. I cut my fringe and its in quite a miserable state now. Its so miserably short I dunno how I'm going to face everyone from now on. My bro says he dun feel like talking to me cos he dun wanna see my hair and he told me not to put my head too near him!!!!

Dun feel like going to sch tmr!!

I'm happy cos there's finally something to look forward to in my life. Cant wait for exams to end, hope this time round everything goes smoothly.. CANT WAIT to meet M!!

2008十大勁歌金曲頒獎典禮

This year there's something special about the award ceremony - the 'senior' singers will pick a new singer to sing a song with them. If you're good, you dun have to worry about being picked. But if you're not up to the standard, then too bad. Bosco should go back to TVB to act. Its obvious he can't sing, especially when he's paired with Eason Chan, who didnt bother or could not save him.


Hacken Lee's voice is so damn good!

Had to wake up an hour earlier today at 8am to go for the volunteer work. At 8.20am, I was struggling, thinking if I should just drop an sms saying I have something on and wont be there. Staying committed is never easy. Thankfully I woke up and went, cos it was so fun! It was a little different today, instead of giving tuition, we played games with the kids. Its just so different playing with kids, they are so funny! Their actions, the things they do, the amount of energy they have... makes me happy. There was this game they had to blindfold themselves then run to the other side of the parade square to pass a sticker to their team member, I laughed like mad. When u're blindfolded, u really can walk in any weird direction. A P2 girl from my team almost walked into the canteen, which was quite a distance from where we were! Haha.

There were 3 brothers in my team, and I saw how united and cooperative they became when they were playing games! Kind of heartwarming to see a 13year old taking care instead of bullying his younger brothers. This was something I observed quite some time ago, I guess its generally true that the eldest in the family always turn out to be very sensible and obedient. The friends that I have who are the eldest in the family are always more tolerant and sensible. The younger ones always end up being demanding and spoilt. I'm a very good example! :)

I'm really envious of people who have cousins of around the same age. I do have many cousins, about 9 or 10 from my dad's side, but they're either married with kids, or the younger ones are still in sec sch. There's only my brother and I who's around this age. So we're unlike many of my frens, who have opportunities to hang out with cousins. Sometimes I feel bored just having my brother.

So I've decided, if I were to have kids in the future, I wanna have at least 3 or 4kids. And I'll keep their age gap within 1 or 2years so that they'll be close to one another. Then I'll persuade my bro to have many kids too, so my kids will have many cousins! We'll have a big and happy family, how lovely!! This is a long term resolution though..

As for 2009...

1) Hope I'll be able to find a job as soon as I graduate. Hopefully it would be related to finance and when I start working, I can find an area which I'm interested in and work towards it.

2) Really wish I could have more self-discipline. Need to be more consistent with my work, especially for fyp since we're on our own now.

3) Sleep early. This is really the toughest! Been talking about this for the longest time, and have never succeeded. I'll still try though.

4) Exercise regularly - swimming at least once or twice a week!

5) Be a better person - more tolerant towards everyone around me, be less demanding, be more forgiving. I wish I could stop badmouthing others, seriously. I know I complain too much about others, not realising I have many weaknesses too. Who am I to judge and criticise others?

I'm fortunate to have many good natured friends around me and I really have alot to learn from them. I've never heard them say a single bad thing about others and they think positively about others most of the time. I know I dun have such good traits within me, but I believe good habits can be cultivated.

Lets see if I can achieve any of this in 2009!

Happy 2009!

Before I end my first day of 2009, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!! Have a happy and healthy year ahead, and hope everything that you wish for would come true!

I do have some new year resolutions too, but I'm too tired for anything now. Its a really good start for 2009, sleeping early on the first day!! One of the things I really wanna do is sleep early, thats the first step to good complexion and healthy lifestyle. I hope the bad habit of sleeping late ends with my holiday!

Jingyi, enlin and sarah are so mean!!! They make me so awake with the nasi lemak, teh ping, gossips and jokes, then they abandon me. Jy and en have gone home to sleep, sarah took my bed but I'm still so awake now I dunno what to do! Thinking of going for a swim since I'm rarely awake so early, but I'll sleep the rest of my day away if I do. And thats wasting a day of my precious holiday.

Anyway, the holidays are coming to an end soon! I've been doing nothing except watching dramas and shopping. I meant to take this one month break to fulfil some short-term goals and make some plans for my future, etc. Apparently I've done nothing of such. I continue to sleep late, wake up late and slack my days away without doing anything. Its my last holiday anyway, so heck it! 13more days to enjoy before hell begins infinitely! :)

甜的吃, 苦的也吃.

Without going through the tough times, we wont know how to cherish the good.

After last saturday's award ceremony, a fan put this on the blog which I thought was nice!
But, it kind of appeared too small that it looked like this as my wallpaper.
So for the past few days I totally cannot find any icons on my desktop. When I'm back home my dad and bro got quite frustrated while using my laptop, so I was forced to change.
Ya he didnt win any award, but the important thing is appearing handsome. Love his polka dot bow tie!

Words cannot describe how happy I am! My derivatives paper is finally over!!! Its been hell the past few days studying derivatives, especially last night. The night before papers are always miserable, and I didnt know I could sleep at 4am and wake up at 9am feeling very very awake. Think I'm too nervous to feel sleepy. Anyway, the paper was alright. Couldnt do a 30mark question, but I dun think many people can do it anyway, so its fine.

For the past 2hours I was kept busy looking at pictures. It was TVB's Sales Presentation last night, its another of the grand event that they have annually where all the previews of new shows in 2009 is being shown. And there are dance performances and the artistes have to do some socializing with 'important' people.

Its nice seeing them so enthusiastic! Its a pity we dun have such culture in Singapore.

These 'important' people are so lucky.

Its also the time for the female artistes to fight it out with each other. This is Sharon Chan, love her dress sense and she's so cool..
I think simple is always nice!
Worst dressed!! Among the female artiste it must be her!
I think its difficult for guys to dress awfully cos how bad can suits turn out? Yet some people can choose the ugliest colour among suits, he wins again!!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY Mich!!

We had too much fun last night, or I laughed too much during the making of our 'product'. Back in hall, I replayed and laughed another few rounds.. Cant wait for it to be edited and revealed soon!!

Getting really sick of hall food, and I must stop waking up at 1pm cos it makes me sleepy the whole afternoon!

My day didnt start well with only 4hours of sleep. I was so worried for my quiz cos each mcq was worth 5%, the quiz was 25% with 18chapters to prepare. I thought quizzes should mean lesser chapters tested, but I felt like I was preparing for exams. In the last 2mins of the quiz, I changed 2 of my answers, and fortunately saved 10%! How risky.

That already made my day, plus yan came over to study with me and kept me so motivated the whole afternoon. Never studied so much on a friday before. And then jingyi came over to have dinner with us, together with weiseng and sarah, how nice to have such a mini gathering. Its really nice having you guys in my life..

I wont be going home from now till exams.. With such a challenging goal to meet, I should stop wasting time watching tv at home. Hope I'll stay motivated!

If you have the opportunity to go back to any part of your life and start leading your life from that point again, would you?

If you're thinking hard and still cant think of any part of your life that you may wanna go back to, good for you. It means you haven made any wrong decisions or done anything that you're unhappy with.

Every road ahead of me is so dark, I cant help but keep looking back and wished things didnt turn out this way.

I'm so miserable!! I've been eating porridge, fishball noodle with soup, or fish soup every meal since monday! I've been unwell the past few days, if not I wouldnt have survived without eating rice for so many days. Anyway, I've just officially recovered a few minutes ago, when I started feeling very very hungry. Haven felt hungry for so long.. I'm craving for nutella with white bread, fried chicken wings, fries from mos burger, pearly soya milk, chicken cutlet and fillet-o-fish.

At the same time, I kind of like being sick. Its the only time I can sleep so much without feeling a tinge of guilt. :)

A show is good if it can bring u through different emotions, happy, sad, angry, touched.. And most importantly, bringing in the 'shiok' element in the crucial parts! If u do watch HK series, u wont wanna miss this!

Had quite a few birthday parties, and then there's a Mid-Autumn Festival party and finally a Wedding party!

Mel's 21st some 2weeks ago..

Congrats to my uncle, he waited so long for that day! He sang Hacken Lee's 一生不变 to his wife.. I want someone to sing to me too.
