**********************************************
24th Dec:
Steamboat gathering with my attachment company's colleagues at one of their houses..!!!
Played Wii at her house...very nice game console...the Wii sports game is very interactive n absolutely addictive..!! and it's the first time when i actually scored so many strikes in a bowling game..!! hahhaa...i love Wii...
Steamboat plus a bit of fruit wine of 6-7% alcohol..and i realised tat that percentage of alcohol is considered small...i was not drunk at all..i thought i could not hold any alcohol..hhaa..hmmm..probably could try higher alcohol content next time...hahaha..!! =p
anyway the fruit wine tasted bitter...with a tinge of sweetness...
but i think i'll go alcoholic nuts if i went drunk..lol

a little nervous =p

made classic lemon cheesecake today...probably i'm bit too greedy..over-addition of the lemon juice, and the cake turned out to be pretty sour.. =p
but well, gonna make another one again...i dun believe i can't make a good cake...
even though i will not be getting any support from anyone...
sigh...
at the most i shall eat up the whole cake...
until the cake's within my expectation...
a little disappointed with myself about the cake though...
=(
my dad's very nice...he gave pretty encouraging remarks..which i was pretty touched...but not for my two lovely brothers...they always have this phobia of trying the food which i make..and they will make the annoucement that they are scared of trying out my cooking..and tat's very hurting and discouraging...
=(
beside the recipe, i cook without any guidance from anyone..and i hardly cook...!! so u see..it'll take a long time for me to master it well...
but i realise something about some horoscope thingy...
scorpion guys seem to be very nice guys in this area - they r willing to try out food daringly and they are pretty encouraging...
one in my mind would be my dad.
haha..
went jogging after making a big mess in the kitchen..hahhaa..
and think i pushed myself too hard, tat exhaustion caused me to trip over over a miniature pit.
minor abrasion on both my knees...
and again, my left knee is more seriously abraised.. =(
and it's so embarrassing...i fell near a guy who was jogging along the same path as me.
this was very embarrassing..
thank goodness, i din fall in an ugly manner..so afterall, still a small relief.. :p
but, to uphold my dignity and pride, i juz continued running..until i reached home and started all the moaning...
(T_T) very painful...!!!!!

i'm BORED.
Again, went to lab today with HM..haa..lab lab lab....BORING... (-_-)
And we started doing footdrills along the lab corridor...LOL..hmm..gotten too bored..should have brought along a book to read or something like tat..
hhaa.. =p
Ohh..hopefully i manage to buy all the ingredients needed to make a cheesecake tomorrow...
ahhh..can't wait for saturday..!! going to have my hair permed...and i wonder wat kind of hairstyle i'm going to get...
and can't wait on sun....gathering with ZJ they all again...!! xmas gathering..! LOL...
can't wait on mon too...gathering with my attachment company's 2 close colleagues...
can't wait on tue (the xmas)....gathering with my family...and hopefully i can make some 'nice' food for them..whahaha...
can't wait on wed too..!! =D it's been a semester since the last gathering for a good chat and more catching-up session..
can't wait on fri....gathering with my jc class...it's been years since i last saw them....i never get to attend all the previous gathering..
n still waiting for a confirmation of a bbq session.....
aRG...i'm going to be broke...!!!
gonna establish my own "Saving Private M" fund.. :p

Was asked to have my voice recorded in his fyp, cos his project needed a female voice to read out some stuff...
it turned out well, and my brother's fyp group was selected among many to give a presentation of their project to some heavily metallic decorated air force officers.
hhaa..probably, the project's been pretty well-received..
and i've gotten a little gift from him.
Sunday, December 16, 2007
and i can't wait to make cheese cake n sushi...i am prohibited to mess up the kitchen before my tcm basic theory exams.. =(
think one month of holiday is not enough for me..
my physical stamina's improved...finally..quite happy but still not so happy yet...
really really hope can slim down fast....
hmm, ya, think tat's all for today..nothing much to update openly..
ha..

Sunday, December 09, 2007
basically, used ZJ's new Canon digital camera..
Ordered peanut paste...and found it not very delicious...only had a few spoons and asked for "da bao" home...
yeah..! BEST OF FRIENDS FOREVER~~!
Really glad to know this group of friends..!! Till now, i am still glad tat i'm lucky to know them for so many years...many times when we get together, we are like going back to secondary school life...
gotten a few souvenirs from sindy and jac after their trips to taiwan n japan respectively..so happy.. =)
went to have my eyebrows trimmed..hmm..liked it a lot..i look more neater and refreshed..haa..thanks to ZJ for the recommendation..!
and hopefully after having them trimmed, will improve my luck positively..e.g. getting a well-paid job..getting better grades..having better relationships with others..
not managed to upload photos which were taken with them yesterday..arg..think something's wrong with the blogger pic loader...
dun know what's wrong with myself last night..after coming back from the gathering, my mood's not very pleasant...paranoid's getting the nerve up on me...maybe i'm juz very stressed over perfecting the resume and really hope to have some relaxing chat or something like tat..anyway was totally not myself and extremely not very understanding last night...
but at least feel slightly better today after getting myself cry to sleep.
probably, still trying to get used to the new me..i guess..
anyway ANYWAY i will still be the happy cheerful girl when you all see me.. =))
really miss work...at least i feel more sane, secure and accomplished..the net income, i feel, is negative..arg..!!
WORK, PLEASE COMES TO ME..!!
MONEY, COMES EMBRACE N WORKSHIP ME...!!!
sometimes, i really dislike insecurity..it's getting the paranoid mode in me..
arg..!
and think getting stuck in the reactor room of 35 degree celcius, having "fun" with the anaerobic bacteria, is taking up the 21% air from my poor eleplant brain.. (T_T)

tat's because on tat exam night, after taking the paper, i actually told my classmates that i had this very strong feeling that i might have to re-take the paper..cos i've found some difficulties in reading chinese words, and understanding it in some ways..and many questions turned out to b out of my predictions (i din study the topics related to those questions) . practically, i did those unexpected questions with my memory work of what i'd studied before in my jc biology and my sec sch physics theory..
but i'm so so relieved that i passed it..!! PHEW..!! =p
was really really very relieved..cos i was very depressed after taking tat paper..
tink it's one of my essays which helped me pull up my overall marks..tat's juz my thoughts.. =p
but still, learnt my lesson...not going to be so stubborn..of insisting to study the textbook solely.
oki..!! so i only have to prepare for my tcm basic theory..! yeah..!! feel super motivated now..!! and since i've borrowed the tcm basic theory's assignment book from a classmate, hopefully i can do extremely well for this paper to pull my overall examination grade..!
was very relieved...at least my mum din have to nag at me for this when i told her about my human anatomy exams results..haha..!!
Definitely learnt a lesson out of this experience..
BUT at least i feel a bit more confident that i could still do it without studying the assignment book, though i know the results for this paper are not exceptionally good.
=p
anyway, KANBATTE NA...!!!!! =)))

读了今天吴淡如的专栏《小承若就值得了爱》。。。
对她写的这段,不知为什么,感触良多。。
其实,不是那个人不适合她(或他),只是他太早出现了,而她尚未成熟,还没有安稳于一份感情。。。”
没有再写下去了。。。
主要是因为我打这几个华文字,已经太累了。
Probably only those who had been in their first romantic relationship could truly understand this paragraph...
my bowling's bad..so i shan't not talk about it..haha..
hmm..watched "30 days of Night" in Vivo..hmm..it's an adaptation of the "30 Days of Night" novel...
"30 Days of Night" synopsis:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Days_of_Night_%28film%29
lots of gruesome scenes, with all the background torturous screeching screams of the vampires and the victims...and DLY's soooooo scaredd.....WHAHAHAHAH..
hmm..basically, i can't say it's a good show..
probably the director's trying hard to protray a group of contemporary vampires.
These vampires are civilised - their dress code is office wear..casual office wear...and i start to wonder if they do set up a "Civilised Undead Pte Ltd" company..
and the dialogues are ..... so (-_-)
the story transition is bad - especially for its ending when the vampires suddenly disappeared from nowhere.
the movie's concept of vampires has much originality. Chopping off their heads, sucking people's blood in the same way, unusual great physical strength, speaking of some unknown ancient language which i am wondering whether it is the language of Transylvanian. Movie ends with the pair of lovers (one's human and the other's a vampire).
if you all wanna know more about Bram Stoker's "Dracula" novel and the movie, you could go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula (this is the novel)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Stoker%27s_Dracula (and this's the movie)
The history of Dracula is pretty interesting. Highly recommend. and you'll come across this famous vampire-hunter - Van Helsing.
haa.basically, i got to study a little about Bram Stoker's "Dracula" novel for one of General Electives literature modules..so probably that's why i find the movie pretty dull.
ok, so if you wanna watch a movie with substance, you are looking for strong concept-based movie,
I give this movie 3/10. (cos I can't bear to demoralise the director more, otherwise i'll give it a 0/10.)
And if you wanna to watch a movie with the girl whom you like and wanna her to subconsciously stay super close to you,
I give this movie 8/10. =D
=DD

Human anatomy paper later in the evening... AHHH..evening..i dislike taking paper in the evening..i have the tendency to experience the "after-dinner nappy" syndrome...
pretty nervous..taking a big risk...stubbornly decline any help from the assignment book (which all my classmates bought - it's like a "O" and "A" lvl ten-yrs series)...
=x
=x
=x
nervous nervous..hope can do the paper well, juz plainly from my memory...
somehow, it's like.....
trying to squeeze an elephant inside my mini cooper..and habouring the ambition to run like a ferrari.

all alone in the lab..very boring...but at least i can control my time and finish my lab work within 2 hours..a sense of accomplishment..
school's pretty interesting today. first, received a SMS from a fren..and first time ever i received a SMS compliment tat i've nice long hair..i was like surprised..and like "wowww...." WHAHAHAHAHA..goodness me...was a little sceptical at the same time, but anyway, ok la..first time my hair's complimented. definitely feel good about the compliment.
hmm..ya, i have beautiful hair..
WHAHAHA...
ok ok, i know you all wanna vomit liao..haha..
second, met a schoolmate in the lab..and the atmosphere was a little awkward..super short conversation..with a bit of that silence of awkwardness..and we were like standing side by side, doing our own washing of lab apparatus..ah..felt very amused though..
and i realise myself that i have another phobia..na..not saying over here..think to you all, it's a ridiculous phobia..
WHAHAHAA..
the recent episodes of 《致父亲母亲》were little upsetting..and one of the incidents reminded me of something..made me wanna cry...
dun know la..sigh.....随缘 随缘 随缘。。。
think i can sleep early tonight..otherwise i'll really wanna try eating panadol for the drowsy effect (if i am really too desperate)..but dun worry, i heard from my Prescribed Elective lecturer saying that panadols actually dun kill, cos one of her clients tried consuming high dosage of panadol to commit suicide and it's not a successful one. hahaa..!!
starting to feel sleepy soon..good...!
hopefully can get a new plan soon..basically i got to wait for my sat's paper to end first..wanna get a sony ecrisson phone..recent samsung phone designs're not very nice..and i hardly see flip-phones nowadays..
S.O.'s recent blog is pretty interesting...
hmmm..so should i be happy that i am single now?
but at least i believe the other party's happy to be single now.
and for this, i am and should be happy for the other party.
haha..like what i've been saying recently..
随缘吧 随缘吧 随缘吧。。。
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
but din end it well....the paper's pretty challenging..basically i got a moment of blank out in my mind...sigh...and a lot of confusions within my mind when i did the papers...almost wanna broke down in the exam hall..
as i did the papers, on the verge of giving up and breaking down.....
somehow, i feel that's the end of my environmental engineering future...i can't go work in my attachment company...i may even have to submit my destiny to the world of education (though i feel i can do a good job in the teaching world)...
but sigh..it's really very upsetting..n i hate doing papers in the evening..it's the worst condition which i am usually in...and for that instant, i really wanna burst out crying...
but hmm..should i say fortunately...majority of my classmates are having the same problems as me..they find it challenging..! hmm...somehow, i feel a little better..at least, i feel i am not alone.. =p
maybe there might be some serious big moderation.. =p
really hope everything'll go smoothly for me....... =(
for today, i realised that my sch's Channel U Hey! Gorgeous! 校花 took the same Surface Water Quality module as mine..haha..she sat in front of DLY..!! haa..but he told me that she left about 15 mins after the commencement of the papers..
and one thing was, i had never seen her before in the lecture (the lecture room is a small one)..nor during the tutorials...
hmmm...
she is quite pretty to me..sunshine girl feel...but...hmm...
anyway, was glad that exams were over for uni side..now, it's time to study for my tcm's human anatomy..and i realised a few days ago that this course which i am taking is a honour degree..haa.. =p probably now i know why my class's ratio of Singaporean students to China students was almost equivalent, compared to the last few batches..
well...anyway ...
lab and human anatomy...
and i think i need to find plans B, C, D, E etc etc...
sigh.......
juz finished watching the first episode for "Hero" serial drama..haha..pretty nice..the way the arrangement and the visual effect of the furniture in the legal firm is pretty intriguing..i love watching japanese serial dramas..as well as Amercian dramas too..haha..
Starting to love watching C.S.I Miami...nice nice nice..!!!!!
sometimes, i really wonder when our local chinese serial dramas' quality can be further improved...it seems to me that to the local chinese serian dramas, complications are seductions to ..but to me, complications are more of a plain complications intrusion to the human minds..
oki, here's one of the short stories dramas which i find them nice..
check this out:
http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/program_archive.cgi?progdir=tv/weareafamily&event_name=%E4%B8%80+%E5%AE%B6+%E4%BA%BA+%0A
hmm...hhaa..basically this is one of short stories dramas produced in Hong Kong..the main theme is family, but such theme is reflected pretty strongly in each different story. it's only one hour, but each story plot is very clear and definitely touching. the actors and the actoresses are brillant in their acting.
so if you are free, do take a look at these episodes. hmm..they are in cantonese but BUT they have chinese subtitles..hahaa.. =p
oki, happy watching..!!
有心无力。
sigh..
din really get to study human anatomy for the past few days...starting to get a little worried..this sat's the paper..!! arg..and i still need to go back sch for lab on wed... (T_T) feel like getting a cab to return home from lab on wed...
for some reasons or rather, gotten a little moody right now...think i find it torturing to study for exams...but what to do..? juz have to press on....
probably partly my sch life's going to end soon..and going to embark on a new phase of my life - work life..i never like working..1, cannot skip work as and when you feel like..2, working 9 to 5 is a super bore..3, cannot sleep and wake up late...4, office politics, which is inevitable even if you know how to perform tai-ji..
never been so lost before...used to have very fixed goals in the past..but as for now, hmmm..i am getting worried and paranoid of what job to get, and whether i can get it...and worst of all, i wanna work in my attachment company, but i am very worried about myself when i read one of their requisites "good honour degree" (T_T)....
did try to express my this concern to my parents..and they tried to assure me to be more confident of myself..sigh..but i am only worried about the initial stage..to get selected for the interview and being successfully recruited into the company...
i am not worried about my working capabilities, in fact, i am pretty confident..but it's just that initial step which i am very very worried and extremely paranoid...
i've been through that kind of worrying stage before..admission results for university...attachment results for attachment company...
i'm really very sick of myself going through such stage...it's very mentally torturing...
有心无力。
somehow this feeling's been very strong within me this year...

*****************************************************************************
Been having terrible backache and mood swings...arg..!! it's tough to be a woman.. (T_T)
but felt better later in the night...
but somehow or rather, i just have no idea..there's a vinegar pot within me..
maybe cos i'm a cancerian ba...hhaa..hmmm.. =p
but hmmmm...never mind about my feelings now ba..dun tink they're of an issue..
i just have to learn to let things go as normally..
随缘吧。。。
********************************************************************************
feel funny to study surface water quality...feel like quite fast to finish it up, which is not feeling very secure...
really wonder what to do after my exams..though i have things to do..but...maybe i should take some initiatives to meet up friends ba..hmmmmmm...aiya..dun know la..
recently been watching this korean drama 《致父亲母亲》over Channel U..love this drama a lot..it's pretty educational, in fact..it has a strong and clear theme of family and other kind of relationships..and haa..my favourite character's the father..hhaa..he's very calm and peaceful..there's a certain charisma which kinda attracts me..though i am aware tat he's very old..haha..but i like his smile and his eyes..!! hah..
wanna know who's this father? hhahaa..go watch Channel U...monday to friday at 7pm...hee.. =p
Thursday, November 22, 2007
Though the paper's not done very well..basically, i'm not motivated to write good quality answers..i just find the whole paper to be very super stupid...
and haha..saw my FYP research student, HB, in the examination hall..he's one of the invigilators for my papers today..and i'm sitting pretty in front of him.. (o_O) felt super stressed up, especially when he paused for a moment at my table...*GRASP*
i hope he'll not invigilate next week's surface water quality...he aced for that paper, and i will feel pressurised if he were to invigilate this paper and he happened to look at my answers during the exams.. =x
Steamboat for dinner today..! yeah..! to celebrate one of my family members' birthdays..! haha..and this was the first time when my brothers and i had to sing the birthday songs of three different languages (mandarin, english and cantonese) for so many times...basically, NG a lot of times...whahhaa...but it's fun to sing the songs for so many times...hahahahah...!!
start writing my post-exams-to-do agenda...realise a lot of things to do and catch up..haha..and my dad even told me not to lose hong-kongers' face..cos hong-kongers have one common outstanding characteristic - they dun like to lose out to others(that's what my dad told me)..
and haha..well, i may be a full-pledged offical Singaporean now and I am very proud to be a Singaporean, but afterall..I was born in Hong Kong, and i still carry the blood of Hong Kong..hmm..so..hhaha..hahahahahhahahaha..
Yup.
=p
Arg..still got to go sch later for lab...sigh...long journey.........................
but at least i feel more motivated now to study..! surface water quality and HUMAN ANATOMY...!!!!
Going to study the whole book of human anatomy without any help from any assessment book..wanna test how strong is my memory.. =p
and oh Ya..! a piece of good news..!! haha..
my application for postponement of taking TCM basic theory exam has been successfully approved..!! which means i will not get a 60 marks even if i were to do very well for the papers..! yeah yeah..! i was so happy when the office informed me yesterday, so happy that i kept smiling and skipping my way out of the office..! hahaha..till now, i'm still very happy...!! hahaa..
hhhaa..ZJ's been dreaming of me recently...whahahhahaha..find it a little funny..hahaha..but really wonder what i was doing in her dreams...hopefully it's a good one..hahahhahaa..!!!! =p

simply dislike studying for the sake of exams..all the stupid theories...
Mood's completely destroyed by the whole HRM stuff.. =(
ARGGGG....
stupid stupid HRM....ARG..!
Then also kena "fly pigeon"...sigh..never mind...
Looking at the HRM notes makes me wanna cry...
sigh..can't sleep again now...think i shall sleep in the living room again..sigh...
sian sian sian sian sian sian sian sian sian sian.................
everyone's super busy with preparing exams...
sigh....
feeling very nasty, especially when i realised i'm being "fly pigeon" juz now..arg..never mind...
sometimes i really dislike studying for exams..it's a stupid process which everyone, including myself, blindly experience this whole process..for like a decade of my current age?
sometimes, i really hate talking to myself.
and right now, i am here, blogging and talking to myself..rattering all my complaints..forcing readers to read my complaints, and putting up with me...
i can't wait to study surface water quality and human anatomy on wed.
at least i see some purposes in studying.
HRM? arg..!
it has to be put into practice..! why do we have to study as a theorical module? why can't it be like Professional Communication? So does it mean that a person who gets an theorically 'A' for HRM is highly proficient in handling human relations in the working society? NOT ALL THE TIME..!
ARG..! I'm totally frustrated with this module..! Right now..!
and i can't go jogging now..it's 3 am now.. (-_-)
Later in the evening, still have to attend my last human anatomy lecture..ARG..! in fact, i dun really wanna attend, but i feel guilty of keep getting WM to sign for me, and me holding an appointment in tat sch have to resort to such means,which is not reflecting well of my personalties and i'm not setting a good example to my classmates...
ARG..! I wanna quit holding tat appointment..!
not going for the FM933 DJ's solo threatrical performance..
shall spend more time with my family..and focus on the more important stuffs in my post-examination agenda.
Think i'm feeling a little better now...but i'm still not sleepy..! ARG..!
Can't make myself cry to sleep..basically it's difficult to do tat these few days, which is puzzling me for an instant. tried to do tat last night, but it wasn't very successful..
been under big stress, yet low morale these few days..when i'm studying HRM...
oki, got to force myself to sleep now.
NItez.
Monday, November 19, 2007

Find this paragraph pretty inspiring and optimistic:
'"No,"the alchemist answered. "What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.'
"Every search begins with the beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested."'
think i'm too stressed up recently..been reading this book for some spiritual inspiration and some formulae-getaways..spending my sleeps in the living room..and dreaming of hydraulics formulae at nights..dreaming of talking soft-toys...having the same nightmare...!
ARG...!

There are two basic types of monologues in drama:
1) Exterior monologue: This is where the actor speaks to another person who is not in the performance space or to the audience.
2) Interior monologue: This is where the actor speaks as if to himself or herself. It is introspective and reveals the inner motives to the audience. This is also a common device in stream of consciousness writings. Frequently in modern theatre, the actor may deliver the monologue in an "aside" (or a sequence of asides).
It is a dramatic convention that soliloquies and asides cannot be heard or noticed by the other characters, even if they are delivered in their plain view.
A written monologue may contain stage directions for the performer, and might be preceded by information about the monologue's setting. (For example, Samuel Beckett's monologue, Krapp's Last Tape).
The monologue was a significant feature of French classical drama; the monologues of Racine have been highly prized by French actresses, including Rachel and Sarah Bernhardt.
The dramatic monologue is a poetic form not to be confused with the monologue in drama. It was brought to a high standard by Robert Browning. The form is such wherein the poet writes from a speaker's point of view in the form of an address to a listener who does not respond in the poem. The speaker in the poem generally talks about a subject, but inadvertently reveals something about their character. It gives the poet an opportunity to present his subject in direct 'conversation' with the reader (e.g. Browning's Porphyria's Lover) or places the reader as a 'character' to whom the monologist speaks (e.g. the same poet's Mr. Sludge the Medium or My Last Duchess). Such poetry combines the dramatic impact of the stage monologue with the potential of more elaborate and suggestive use of language; on the printed page, where the words can be re-read and pondered, there is the potential to evoke more complex layers of intent and meaning.

haa..feel happy when two of my students asked me whether i could teach their siblings next year...hhaa..
but will be increasing my tuition rate next year...think i could only take 2 students, for the maximum...next year'll be a even more hectic year for me, and my responsibilities at home will be even carrying more weights next year...why..? hmm..hee..sorry, not convenient to reveal over here..
tink i'll continue to teach tuition..dun wan to rely upon my parents for my miscellaneous spenditures..and definitely work as much as possible now..
but gonna miss all my three students -CX, JY and WC..
All of them have been under my guidance for two years..and i've seen them grown..and definitely this batch has been very interactive, as in that they are pretty comfortable with me teaching them..think partly cos i hardly give them any homework..hahaha.. =p
but one big common thing which i see in them is - i see potientials in all of them..i feel they can have great life accomplishments in the future..hahahhahaha...
=p

u may say..as a tcm practioner..hmm..tat'll be like 7 yrs plus later? besides tat, i'm not intending to open a clinic immediately after my tcm degree graduation..i wanna work as a volunteer in my sch's hospital first, to accumulate more medical experiences...
sigh...................................................
i'm really bored....bored of all the stupid notes......i miss literature...at least i could read the subject like a story book...and say the quotes like a drama actress...hahaa..
and i'm bored of hearing my parents keep telling me tat i must know how to do this, how to do tat..so that in the future i will not have many problems with my husband..but what's the whole point now?!.....how to have a husband when i'm not even attached...?! of course, you may say juz in case..to prepare myself...

play sim city4 as a form of my resting period...i even watched a quarter of "Forrest Gump" movie...haha..i love the first part of the movie..love the opening music...love the filmography...love how the plot's carried out...love the oldies which have been selected for different scenes...n i realise what could be the possible reasons of putting the scene to be in Alabama...if i'm not wrong, it's one town where there used to have quite a serious racial discrimination...the history's somewhat related to what i've studied before in "To Kill a Mockingbird"...
