天真无邪

2011-04-07T22:46:00.003+08:00

在戏院里，最怕是有整部戏都在吵闹的小孩。

刚刚看完刚上映的Rio，几乎大家都笑个不停。

这部戏本身已经好好笑了，时不时还有个小孩天真无邪的笑声，全场都笑了，令这部更为好笑。

对，是天真无邪。

First roll result

2011-01-17T00:21:00.005+08:00

Finally, I developed it and bring the CD back. While on the way back, I was wondering why they only gave CD without hard copy.

And my friend who borrow and intro the "film" to me ask:"who will still want hard copy when it is already digitized?"

And my answer is "me lo". As I still relating film with hard copy photo. :p

Anyway, let's share some of my shots.

This roll started from the Malacca trip. Played with some other tricks like double exposure but it didn't come out well. I guess like what I told him, I am not digital and not analog now, half here half there, no 3 no 4.

Famous A Famosa

Another landmark at the red house area. (can't remember the name of that church)

A "lorong" (street in Malay) along the Jongker Street

The lovely couple

The sweetest and loveliest couple who just celebrated their 32 anniversary

Back doors of someone house at somewhere in Balestier

As can't even finish the one roll in Malacca (still very treasure to press the trigger), it mixed with a few shots taken in Singapore.

I think I started falling in love with it. ("我想我有少少钟意上他了" quoted from a cantonese phrase I came across in HK advertisement)

First roll after years

2011-01-10T23:17:00.002+08:00

First roll after so many years. Curious and excited to know how they look like.

Started first photo on 25 December 2010, last photo on 10 January 2011.

Hopefully, it's upload-able.

第一项任务

2011-01-10T23:07:00.003+08:00

新工作，新环境。

第一天，第一项任务，就是学习开这把锁。

看似好玩，却是蛮难，需要点技巧。

在这个地方，我会是被锁住了，还是我会成功把它打开。

加油加油！！！

Bye Bye

2011-01-03T17:47:00.007+08:00

2010 没了，2011也过了两天。好多想写得都还没写下，就先从这开始吧。

第一家公司，两个部门，三年半的时间，2010年12月22日终于告一段落。

学了很多，了解了很多，尝试了很多，认识了很多。

有人问我有没有不舍。为了向前看，为了见识不同的事物，我想外出走走。

有人问我会不会后悔。哪想得了这么多。

当然，在公司里认识的同事好友门，我会很想念你们的。

临别前，不忘照一照。

别了旧的，愿明天会更好。

死党的婚礼

2010-10-30T12:45:00.012+08:00

这群死党中第一个婚礼终于圆满完成。

星期四早上喝了杯咖啡加上傍晚去游泳，回家后蛮精神的，就修修周末的照片。

漂亮的新娘

待嫁的美丽

好友分享的喜悦

喜事就在眼前

同行的有：

丽盈嫁去东甲也让我第一次有机会到那一游。结果带了的相机拍她的据少东甲的数多，有够不好意识。不过，婚礼就由专业的拍吧。;p

东甲，一个充满色彩，富有线条的城市。

这可说是东甲特色，谁比谁高。

第28个8月28日

2010-08-29T20:22:00.005+08:00

昨天，我度过了我人生中的第28个8月28日，我的牛一。

HC为我准备了一番

我的幸福

2010-08-29T01:50:00.006+08:00

8月6日晚上，去巴厘岛的前一晚，我的他把这小盒子给我。

简单温馨的方式，他就这样的向我求婚。

7年前，他要我做他的女朋友。

7年后的这天，我答应与他白头偕老。

我想他会是我的幸福。

又一个10公里以后

2010-07-25T23:09:00.007+08:00

自Adidas Sundown Marathon 以后，没有自律的我再一次缺乏准备地应战今天的 Shape Run '10。庆幸的没有半途晕倒，顺利地跑完整个路程。小朋友们别学，这是错误的示范。

回家路上，想着为自己弄点午餐。

一块一块，一片一片。

成了一碗热腾腾的ABC汤。

下一个长跑，9月5日Singapore Yellow Ribbon Prison Run （没有记错的话）。AM，你要自律点，练习吧！加油！

New skin.. New look...

2010-07-24T11:03:00.002+08:00

Just kind of bored with the previous blog template, so decided to give it a new skin. ;)
A simple and plain skin. Hope you like it.

Cold Sore revisit

2010-07-24T01:25:00.003+08:00

Went to see doctor today. My first time when to this in-house clinic in Depot 1 building. Most likely I won't want to go there for the 2nd time unless necessary. The doctor I saw today is just too "professional" till I almost rate her as the worst doctor I ever met. Instead of telling me what my sickness is, she told the nurse to inform me to search on the internet what is "cold sore" after I came out from her room. Anyway, she is not the main topic here.

Thus out of curiosity and being a good girl who listen to what doctor says, while on the way to lunch, I search for this "cold sore".

"Cold sore" is actually small, painful blisters which appeared around lips, mouth or nose. I called it "tweety" lips whenever it appears at the center of my upper lips. It can be a group of a few blisters or a few blisters merge together become one big one. It caused by a virus, Herpes Simplex Virus which is not able to be totally eliminated from the body once being infected according to most of the dr I visited and the website I search for this information.

As the virus is not able to be fully eliminated from the body, this cold sore will recur every now and then. For my case, I've seriously lost count on how many times I had this since year 2000, or even earlier than that.

How did I got first infected? I do not know. However, from the website, it was saying that the virus can be spread via contact or via saliva. Alhough it would be higher possibility to spread to others when the blister started to pop out till it is dried off, the virus can also be spread even the "patient" does not have the cold sore at that particular moment (very least possibility though). Thus still, I have to be more careful when sharing or having meal with others.

Having the tweety lips again now. So painful. Best if someone can found out something which can help to fully cure this cold sore thingy before I am too old to do anything. Anyone?

游泳

2010-07-15T18:47:00.002+08:00

好久没有运动了，就好像好久没有在这可怜的部落格留言般。给了自己太多太多的借口了。（*-*）
今天，答应自己，无论如何，不管怎样，都一定一定要去游泳。
在这办公室其中一个好处，游泳池就在三分钟路程可到的地方。赞！！
终于，放工时间一到，脱掉外套，拿了游泳需要的东西，急急脚地朝泳池前进。
太久没游了，宽容自己，只游了20圈（来回=2圈；1圈25m) （有点骗吃hor ；p)
好了，要去吃饭了。拜拜

用微笑迎接每一天

2010-07-14T23:50:00.003+08:00

笑，有很多种。
哈哈大笑
微笑
奸笑
开怀大笑
苦笑
假笑
偷笑
曓笑
。。。

前些日子，有个同事告诉我，他刚进公司的时候以为我不会笑的。
前几天，同事A告诉同事B说，“你太搞笑了啦，连AM都笑了。”

笑是自己和他人可以感受到的。
同事说的，是一些自己已经察觉到的。
为何如此？不解。
只是，最近有在提醒自己，要笑。
要笑得开心。
要笑得有自信。
要笑得灿烂。
要笑得把笑这“病毒”传染给身边的人。

我有在努力。
虽然要提醒自己笑是有点可悲，但是最起码笑容在脸上出现，我想是件好事吧。

用微笑迎接每一天！；）

送别会

2010-07-11T01:29:00.004+08:00

在等待德国对乌拉圭球赛的当儿，填填自己的部落格，相信用来打发时间还不错吧。
几个小时前，与一群朋友为一位即将搭七个小时飞机到远方公干几年的朋友搞了个送行聚会。也没有什么搞的，就是去了一家可以任吃槟城食物的餐馆大吃。
离别嘛，通常与悲伤划上等号。可是可能离开的和送行的都知道这是离开的想要的旅程，伤感也还没什么。
与平时一样，有我们的地方都会很热闹。大家你一句我一句的，说了很多也笑了很多。
蛋糕领出来的时候，是九岁还是九十岁？把小妹妹给弄糊涂了。就连餐馆的服务生在清楚跟她说明之前也自己帮我们拿主意，只插了三支大蜡烛。她没有错，我们群里最年长的，也还没到三十。九支是预算了先与他预祝未来三年的生日。三回同样英文版的生日歌，让餐馆更为热闹。
朋友，一个人在外，多加照顾自己，一切顺顺利利哦。

想想

2010-06-12T21:27:00.003+08:00

好久没写些什么了，今天就想随便乱写。
乱写什么？
不知道。
想了很久。
就像是每天想要吃什么，想要去哪里等等的问题，
好久才有答案。
人生真的就应该这样吗？
还是要非常明确的知道前面的路该怎么走？
相信很多人都会有自己的一番见解。
我的呢？
我想我应该好好想想自己是怎么样的想法。

Braces removed

2010-04-10T02:50:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, ah ne ne removed the braces already. Upper and lower. Just cut cut cut and the whole thing been removed.

After 1.5 years, the pain, the sore have given me a set of very nice looking and well-aligned teeth.

So tired now, let continue after having a rest. ;) stay tune...

Last few dental appointments

2010-04-02T00:21:00.004+08:00

I went to my dental appointment again today, in fact it was yesterday as it is now passed 12 already. I've been visiting him more frequent for the past two months. Initially was once a month but it became fortnightly 3 months ago and now is every week since 2 months ago. Ah ne ne (a nick I called my dentist cause he is the only Indian dentist in the clinic that time when I first met him, my first appointment with him. no discrimination here. apologize if anyone felt offended.) said he is trying to close some of the gap and need me to visit him more often. And thus, I became the regular patient as what his supervisor said.

In these two months visit, he did quite a lot on my teeth.

Every week different style of elastic band, have to put on 24/7. (zombie style, vampire style, half frankenstein style etc, from can still eat with wearing the band till can't even move my teeth at all now.)
Re-shaping and grinding my teeth almost every 2 weeks.
Do another mold. Did one in my very first visit. posted the photo in my FB
Took 5 x-ray. 2 in new building and 3 in old building which x-ray on film.
and etc...

From very complicated case as what he used to put beside his mouth to a really good case which he was asked by his supervisor to present my case in his exam. I think he is considered quite a good dentist. And so do his supervisor, she is very professional. I should thank both him (Dr Kaval) and his supervisor (Dr Tan if I am not wrong, hehe) as well.

And yesterday, he told me that the braces might be able to remove either next week or the week after. Mix feeling, of course I felt excited and looking forward. 但是，就是有种莫名的不知所措。(sorry have to use chinese for this as I really can't think of how to write it in english.)

Anyway, let's see the result in two weeks time. ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

2009-12-23T16:57:00.002+08:00

I am not a Christian nor from a family who celebrate Christmas. However, I like Christmas. Guess I like to see people celebrating Christmas joyfully. Gift exchange, house decorations, Christmas dinner with friends and family, etc... These are something which full of joy.

Thus, wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in this wonderful period. ;)

Run Race

2009-08-15T02:08:00.003+08:00

Later, I was suppose to wake up at 5am so that I can make it to the HP Family Day X-country run on time. But still, I am awake now. Not a good habit for a person who are going to take part in a run race soon. (those reading please do not try this, as I have been trained to do the special action. hahhahaha... copy those special action performance show notice)

Back to the run race. I guess I am a little bit of crazy already. In less than 6 hours time, I will start running for the HP X-country run 5km. This 5km should be achievable as in should be able to be completed easily.

But, within less than 21 hrs after I reach the finishing point, I will need to start running again for another run race I registered a few months ago. That is the Safra Army Singapore Bay Run (sth like that, lazy to confirm the name. someone out there might want to check it out? haha) for a total of 21km route.

May god bless me.

As listed in one of my previous post, my this year is full with a lot of run race. If not wrong, after that post, I registered two more run race events.
011109 - Great Eastern 10km run (exclusively for women only)
061209 - Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (I crazily registered myself for the full marathon which is the 42.195km run)

I wonder why did I register for so many run race. Not that I can run fast enough to win the competition and win myself some pocket money. Moreover, I need to pay for those run race I registered, except for HP X-country run and Corporate Triathlon 09 which fully sponsor by HP. HP also partly sponsor for the SCSM this year as I join as corporate race (FYI, the run itself got no difference between individual or corporate runner in term of starting point/time, just the corporate will accummulate point for every finisher who register under their corporate and compete with other corporate).

Guess what I can do is keep running since I have already registered myself in the run.

她要回来了

2009-08-06T23:13:00.003+08:00

从来我都不太敢写关于她的文章，回想起来应该就只有一篇罢了。那仅有的一篇写于我的另一个部落格，时间该是我自个儿在上海的时候吧。

不写她，是不想家里的每一个人看了心酸。最起码，想起她让我掉泪了好几次。

九年了，她独自一个人在外生活。亲戚们或则较熟悉的朋友时不时会问“她有回来吗？”，“几年没有回来了？”。这些问题常有，新年期间尤其多。

一直觉得她很勇敢，很独立。最起码九年的时间说长不算长，却不是短暂的光阴。

很内疚的，曾经一段时间，突然觉得她很陌生。MSN上谈天也找不到话题。有想过为什么这个和我关系这么亲的一个人，我却像是不认识她。

直到最近，公司派我到美国去接受训练，有了机会探望一个人住的她。我是多么的感激及感动。

那一趟旅行，住在她租的公寓，我很珍惜。九年不见，我俩却莫名的争吵一番。想起真的觉得可笑。但是，这争吵却让我两回味以前在一起的生活。她还是她，我还是我；她还是那个我非常想念的二姐，我还是那个小辣椒妹妹。

要回来的那一天，她送我到机场。在我进入等候厅后，她回了。在等候厅里，我望着窗外机场停车场的出口处，希望可以看到她。等着等着，那依依不舍的心情真的要命。

终于，让我盼到了。看到她的车驶出停车场，离开机场，再度离我远远的。

我哭了。眼泪不停的流。不知道何时可以再相聚。沉重的心情，离开了她。

之后，有了话题，我们常聊了。

最近，更听到她做了决定，一个家里大家都会高兴的决定，她要回来了。

谢谢她做了这个决定，我了解这个决定对她来说不简单。

二姐，欢迎你回来。

我写。。我记

2009-08-06T12:33:00.002+08:00

再一次我荒弃了这个角落。
我不会说“我不是故意的”，不是因为我真的存心这么做，而是理由与借口往往是一线之差。

很多事情发生，很多故事想说，很多心声要分享。
就因为越堆越多，雪球般越滚越大，那种心情就像一堆山的课业等待被处理，突然间有种莫名的压力。（好笑吧！）

曾问过自己，
为什么我要维持这个活了三年的角落？
为什么当初我要开始占据这个空间？

我想，我只是想让自己有个空间。。
写下我想写的
记下我想记的
开心时与大家分享
难过时有人鼓励
无聊时乱扯一番（就像现在）

Normal sleeping again, please.

2009-06-22T09:18:00.003+08:00

Busy months ahead

2009-06-16T10:13:00.002+08:00

Resting

2009-06-12T16:44:00.002+08:00

I am now resting in my room.
Dunno what to do, (actually I can simply come out with a long to do list)
Lazy to do anything,
Lazy to think what to do.

Watched a few episode of TVB dramas,
played facebook bejewelled blitz (somehow can't tahan and started playing it again.)
read some of the blogs
now writing my blog.

Since HC left to Swiss, I was like a bit too free.
most of my time were spent on thinking what to eat.
(Although I still spent a lot of time thinking what to eat when he is here.)
I can sleep early,
do a lot of stuff,
and not doing a lot of stuff.. hehehe..
But just, a bit boring sometime when he is not with me..
Anyway, still got a more days to go...
8 more days and he will be back..
Till then, let me zho bo zho bo a bit.. hehe

Diarrhea Again

2009-06-11T16:36:00.002+08:00

I had diarrhea on Monday which stopped after cleansing my stomach. I went toilet at least 3 times in the morning after breakfast and once again after lunch. There after, the diarrhea stopped.

I had normally "big business" on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, my stomach is still not feeling so well.

Last night I ate the curry beehoon + mee. It is still quite good. But, I got waken up in the early 4am because of the pain at my stomach. It's 4am you know. So early and thus I made myself slept again. However, I got waken up another time at 5am. I really can't tahan the pain and quickly go to the toilet.

gosh.. It is so painful that I thought I would have started poo-ing the moment I sit on the toilet bowl. It wasn't like that. The pain was just getting more and more painful. Sigh. Besides the pain, I can felt myself sweating non-stop. And then, all the food I ate started to leaving my body very fast.

This condition continue quite a while. I think I went toilet at least 4-5 times just within half an hour. Wonder should I just sit inside the toilet or not. hehe..

Hai... To those who always said I am thin, this could be one of the contributor. Don't know since when, I have been diarrhea quite often. It's not that I like diarrhea, diarrhea is just not fun at all.

Sleepy

2009-06-10T10:47:00.002+08:00

I felt so bad to blog now. Cause I am actually attending a course which will be on today and tomorrow.

It's not that the course is boring, but just I am too sleepy now. Can't sleep well last night. Not sure why. Woke up at 5 sth in the morning.

I better focus in the course already. ;)

Done with my first Full Marathon

2009-05-31T10:11:00.002+08:00

Just back from my first Full Marathon. Showered and I am clean now.
Finished the Full Marathon with the timing of 6hrs 22mins 30.71sec according to my own timing.
Ok. I am done with my energy also. Let's continue again.

I'll be back....

有人所谓的成就感

2009-05-30T14:56:00.003+08:00

有人告诉我，“你真的不懂廋的人的感想”。
只是，有人常常会和很多人一样说我越来越廋了。
那是说，有人和很多人都在骗我说我廋？
还是说，我不了解自己的想法呢？
需要思考。

不过，重点不是这些。
有人说了那句话后，
很自豪地顶着自己那就快要四个月的肚腩说，
这就是有人所谓的成就感。

（这是一则有点被逼写的文章。;p）

2 more days to RUN

2009-05-28T13:17:00.002+08:00

In the office now, just done with my lunch.

Started to read some of the blogs. (still my lunch hour, ok..)

Waiting for the Sunday Adidas Sundown Marathon.
2 more days to RUN.
My first 42.195km run.
Also first midnight run.
How long will I take?
How will it be like?
Let me tell you on Sunday after I back from the Run. (if I still got energy to do so. ;p)

Jia you jia you..

My teeth

2009-05-23T16:31:00.005+08:00

It has been quite some time since my last update on my braces diary.

I went to see my ah ne ne dentist yesterday. He did some check up and explain to his supervisor about what he observed. They then discussed how to proceed. In fact, his supervisor is the one giving out 90% of the instruction.

Every time after my appointment with ah ne ne dentist, I can feel the pain and "sour sour" kind of feeling at the gum area. Most of the people who put braces before told me that they didn't feel any pain at all. I wonder is my problem or what. However, although I can feel the pain, it's just not tat kind of very very painful type.

Yesterday, after the tightenning, I still felt ok. As usual, the pain and sour feeling don't appear that soon. Few hours later, the pain started to let me know he is coming. I can barely eat french fries during the dinner. The feeling is like ah ne ne has tighten the braces a few level more than usual. Maybe he wanna close my case asap and no need to see me again. ;p I dunno. I just felt very very very pain till I have to take two panadol to "kill" the pain. FYI, I don't usually take panadol unless that is very very very serious case.

Hai... now then I think, what is the main reason of putting the braces. To torture myself? for slimming purpose? or I dunno... I remember I said before, I just hope to have two rows of aligned teeth.

Wonderful morning

2009-05-21T18:39:00.003+08:00

Some of my friends asked me, "You changed job?". Thanks for all the concern. Maybe I should answer it here.
Emm.. I would say the answer is yes and no. It's kind of complicated to the process of me getting to my current job.
Thus, in short, I am now still working in the same company HP but with different department and job scope.

Anyway, this is not the main topic I wanna talk about today.

Due to this department changed, my office is changed back to Comtech from HP Depot 2 building. Noticed I used the word "back". Yes, it is correct caused my office used to be in Comtech building before moving to Depot 2 this year after Chinese New Year. FYI, we had a week of WFH (work from home) during the week of moving.

Something I like about working in Comtech building is, there is shuttle bus provided by Comtech landlord (MappleTree) to and from Harbour Front 3 sessions everyday. The 3 sessions including morning (go to work hours), lunch time (can go Vivocity/Seah Im to eat) and evening (off work hours). Although HP do have shuttle bus from Harbour Front to all the HP offices, but the number of session and the frequency are both lesser.

Thus, after moving back to Comtech, I resume the ride on MappleTree shuttle bus morning and evening. The morning session bus start at 755am (if I am correct) and end at 915am. Yes, it is 915am. Pretty late right?! Hehe....

Normally, I used to prepare something as breakfast and eat in the office. I didn't get myself anything this week and have been acting like a rich girl eating McD breakfast for the last two days. But thanks to McD, they are having the morning breakfast promotion, S$2.50 per set (Sausage McMuffin and a cup of McCafe brewed coffee).

Because of the late timing for the last bus to Comtech, I decided to pamper myself a bit yesterday to had my breakfast in the Harbour Front McDonald restaurant. In fact, I reached Harbour Front quite early every morning and so did yesterday. Another reason is because there is unlimited refill of coffee and tea for breakfast in the restaurant. ;p;p

After adding the necessary sugar and creamer to my coffee, I started eating my Sausage McMuffin and reading MyPaper of the day. Kind of relaxing isn't it? ;p;p

When done with my Sausage McMuffin, I look at the watch and tell myself, it's time to leave. Don't do your own guessing, it was still early that time. I wasn't really planning to take the very last bus of the morning session. I quickly finished my first cup of coffee (nice one, but FYI I am not kind of must drink coffee everyday kind of people. Drinking coffee is like once in a while for me.) and refilled my 2nd cup of coffee for taking away. Such a cheepo thinking I had har? ;p;p

Leaving the restaurant with a cup of hot coffee, I felt good. I was thinking actually life can be very relaxing sometimes if we stop or slower down our pace a bit while walking to shuttle bus stop. That is just a nice and wonderful morning.

In the office, due to my cheepo and greedy and tan xiao pian yi, I felt myself floating after the 2nd cup of coffee. It is just not fun to drink 2 cups of coffee within 2 hours when I am not a heavy/regular coffee drinker. Sigh.. no more this thing to happen, if I can recall this incident before I pour my 2nd cup next time. ;p;p

Addicted to Facebook Bejeweled Blitz Game

2009-05-17T02:56:00.000+08:00

Oh no.. I am addicted to FB Bejeweled Blitz Game...

I am still awake cause I was playing that game non-stop till i break my own record from 80k++ to 148k++...

So tired now.. neck so pain.. I need rest..

Star Trek

2009-05-14T23:55:00.005+08:00

Star Trek (the movie-3rd generation)

Star Trek (the series-2nd generation)

Star Trek (the series-3rd generation)

I must start the review for this movie with "This is absolutely a worth-watching-at-cinema movie". (at least this is what I think. ;p)

Before watching this movie, I wasn't having much interest to it. I did watch Star Trek (I believe is the 2nd generation) when I was young. Although my English is so poor that time that I can't really understand what were they talking about. What I did is just watch them every week with the help of the Malay subtitle. But I stop following this series when I started to feel that the story was getting a bit too far from the beginning story and it is like quite lack of new ideals. Thus, the movie version of Star Trek did not attract me much.

However, HC's colleague gave a very good review after watching this movie and we decided to give it a chance. To be very frank, I did not have high expectation on this movie (maybe was too disappoint with X-men Origin: Wolverin).

Unexpectedly, I like this movie very much. The flow of the story is good and the pace of the whole movie is just nice that keep your eyes and mind focus to movie. In fact, I think the whole movie is full of excitement, a little of laugh and some surprise. There isn't much time for you to release your breath. HC was so kelian that I hold his hand very tightly almost 40% of the movie.

Besides this, I also like the effect (visual and sound) of this movie. Visual wise, although it is confirm that there are a lot of computer touch up, however the visual effect team for Star Trek is just much much much better than Wolverin's. You might think that what they did is very "childish" or "funny" or "fake" in future if you re-watch the movie, at least they did very well for the mean time. As for sound, this is one of the reason I put it as worth-watching-in-"cinema" movie. Maybe because the sound system of the cinema we watched is very good, I felt like I was enjoying a 3D movie (the 3rd D is the sound. hehe.. my own theory. ;p;p).

Lastly, I quite enjoy watching the 3rd generation young Captain Kirk (Chris Pine). Hehe... Maybe he has the "man" look or "yeng(cantonese)" look. I won't compare him with the previous two Captain Kirk, as I can't really remember the first two already. I guess three of them are all good actor.

In the nut shell, I enjoy watching it. Bought yourself ticket to watch it in cinema and hope that you will like it also. ;)

New start... Better start...

2009-05-07T22:28:00.004+08:00

Same day 2 years ago, I got my first job offer if i remember correctly. That was on my last day of Uni life, my FYP presentation day.

Today, I got an offer at the very last day which I still can continue to work in HP.

Life is just so cruel to me to make me wait till the very last minutes.
Yet, life is also very nice to me that I am always saved before I have to suffer.

Even so, do not take life for granted.
Given the new start, think hard and work hard to make my life a better one.

Jia you jia you.

Thanks to all the support given by my family, my boy friend (in special category) and friends. They did help me thru some of my sad moments for the past few weeks.

I love you all.... mmuuakkkkssssssss...

Count down: 4 more days to go

2009-05-04T18:04:00.002+08:00

I have been started this count down in my MSN since last week if I remember correctly. Wei Wei told me not to put that as she doesn't feel good looking at that. But sorry Wei Wei, I will keep it there till count down to 0 day.

So, how should I spend the last 4 days?
If you ask me how I feel, I don't really have exact answer to it. Just hope that good things come asap. Also, good luck will come to me.

Sometimes, I tried not to compare with others. As comparison will eventually make either one happy or sad. Unfortunately, most of the things which I can't avoid myself to compare with others normally made me sad.

For this time, I'll do my best to keep myself happy. Not to avoid anything. Not to afraid of anything. I know I can.

Ganbatte kudasai!!!

X-Men origins: Wolverine

2009-05-01T11:10:00.006+08:00

This is a movie which a lot of my friends wanted to watch so much that make it a must watch in cinema movie to me as well. The movie was on screen since 29th April 2009. HC is kind of cannot wait too long and thus suggested we watch it on 30th April 2009. As this is in my must watch list, we deal to bought 2 tickets on 30th April 2009.

X-Men to me is a very cool and exciting movie. I can't remember well what is happening in the X-Men I, II and III. In fact, I think I only watched one of the three and still trying hard to recall which is the one I watched. However, the recent "comics movies" are so well-done (like Ironman and Dark Knight) which make me having very high expectation on this show, especially I quite like Hugh Jackman. ;p;p

Unfortunately, I am a bit disappointed and told HC that luckily they filmed the other 3 before this after leaving the cinema. I would say I quite like the story and also some of the scenes are quite impressive. HC said the story in the movie does not follow the comic version. But, for a person like me who didn't read the comic, I think that is just fine for me. However, the computer graphic of this movie is almost totally cannot make it (cause some are still impressive). It is just so fake that very obvious it is filmed in studio + computer graphic effect.

Anyway, just my opinion, I do enjoy some of the scenes but I guess it can be better produced.

17 again

2009-04-30T14:05:00.003+08:00

Months ago when I went to Shaw Cinema at Orchard for a movie (can't remember what movie we watched) with HC, I saw the poster of this movie "17 again".
My very first impression to this movie is that "hmm... I am not gonna pay for this movie.". The reason is I always think that the main actor of this movie Zac Efron is the kind of idol type of actor who like to act cool and make me related to groups of ladies who will shout for. Sorry to those who like him so much. ;p

Last week, HC and I were thinking to watch a movie in the cinema. We reached the cinema and found out that we have limited choices. HC then suggested this movie"17 again". Due of no more other movies better than this (those better than this during that time already been watched.), we bought ourselves two tickets on this show.

This show is about the young Mike O'Donnel (Zac Efron) was a star on the high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decided to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are expecting.

Almost 20 years later, the present Mike (Matthew Perry) glory days are decidely behind him. His marriage to Scarlet (Leslie Mann) has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a lose, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techono-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon). He is blaiming to everyone around him (especially Scarlet) and regretting the decision he made 20 years back.

But Mike (Matthew Perry) is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17 (Zac Efron). The story start there when he tried to rescue himself (life, marriage, kids and everything).

This is not a movie with new idea or storyline. This is also not a excellent show if were to compare to movies like "Departure", "Ironman" or so. However, I like the movie as for the reason it shows some behaviour/thinking which is very close to us, human. Human like to remind themselves of some decision which they made in the past. "What if I didn't...", "What if I..." or "I should have...". When things in the present don't go well, blaiming to others start. "If it is not because of you...", "All because of you that I...".

In the story, Mike has the chance to back to 17 which allow him to recall back why/what is so important during that moment when he made the critical decision. Of course, the important reason still valid, just being covered by all the -ve feeling when things come out to be not to their favor. "-ve feeling always brings -ve outcome", this is what happened to the present Mike and also something I learned from someone who is important to me.

In reality, we won't be given any chance to back to any time in the past. However, we have ourselves to remind us all the people/things which is important to us. That makes us human. ;)

My blog

2009-04-30T11:19:00.003+08:00

My elder sister just started with her new blog, 贞, 3 days ago. Apparently, HC and me are the two siao kia who keep her posts with a lot of comments (wonder are we trying to flood her comment corner, hehe..). As for her, she is very cooperative to keep posting at least one post everyday. This remind me of the "me" when I first started my blog.

My first blog is at MSN mySpace (which only has 2 posts ;p) if not wrong which then followed by Friendster. After seeing so many of my friends use blogspot, I then started my this ~AmK~ corner. When I first started this blog, I was so keen to say that I wanted to keep myself with at least one post everyday. Those who know me long enough should have known I am such a "3 minutes passion" person (guess no need to know me very long can already know about this) that my at least one post per day become at least one weekly, then bi-weekly then monthly...

Guess I will have a lot free time and I suppose I can try to keep my "promise" again. ;p;p

Stay tuned...

An announcement day

2009-04-06T15:21:00.003+08:00

It's a special day today.
It's a memorable day today.
Something happened.
Some announcement made.
Good or bad?
God knows.

The whole process happened so fast.
Mentally prepared doesn't seem to work.

It's like on the day of STPM/SPM result released.
A lot of different faces in the school.
Some knew and some still waiting for the result.
When everyone got their slip,
their future are remain unclear.
Is it best for sure?
Or the other way round?
God knows.

Wish me luck.

Happy Belated April Fool Day

2009-04-02T13:06:00.002+08:00

It's 2nd April today, the day after April Fool Day.

How many people have you fooled?
Or
How many people have fooled you?

I am not very good in telling lies..
but somehow, when I was telling the truth on April Fool Day, people thought I am fooling them.
So, somehow, am I expert of telling lies? hehe.. god knows...

Breakdown point

2009-03-04T12:40:00.005+08:00

These days, everybody is worry and tense to hear about new announcement or news.

Okok.. It's me who is worry and stress to hear announcement and news. To make it more clearer, I also worry about all the "rumours" will come to real.

I wonder am I the only one has this kind of feeling. I kept thinking, what is my back up plan if something really happen. What can I do or what should or what will I do when something worse happen.

Just early this week, there was a NTU undergraduate who stabbed his supervisor and committed suiside after that. I wonder, what happened to him causing him to have this kind of reaction. Is it really a very very very super extremely serious breakdown to him? I guess no one really know.

Back to think of myself, will I somehow someday in future have the similar reaction as him? How much can I take my stress? Will I really breakdown when something worse really happen?

I do not know. And I hope I will never reach to that point to get these answer.

These few weeks, I tried to find something to do every night after work to clear my mind, to release my worry and tension. Some of you may know, I been in facebook more often these few weeks. I am sort of addicted to some of the games inside. With them, I tried to recover from my anxiety and frustration.

Thanks to HC that he need to listen to what puked or vomitted out from my mind because of all the anxiety I have.

But how am I going to continue when there are scary rumours or anouncement every two days.

S.O.S.
Someone out there, please teach me...

AM, be strong......

西方情人节

2009-02-13T09:03:00.004+08:00

近期
经济不景
生活紧张
步伐急迫
往往人与人之间的关心是容易被遗忘的

放慢脚步
不吝啬几分钟的时间
真诚地关心一下周围的人
哪怕就一句“你好吗？”类的关心话语
足以让人窝心

明天的西方情人节
你为你的情人准备了什么贴心窝心的礼物了吗？
情人节快乐！！！

15天的华人农历新年

2009-02-10T09:06:00.006+08:00

“新年来咯！新年来咯！。。。。”
一首首熟悉的新年歌曲在播放中。

期盼多时，终于回到槟城。
过年莫过于与家人团聚，会亲戚，会朋友，拜拜，团圆饭，守岁，鞭炮，红包，柑，新年歌，拜年等等等等。。。虽然有点routine，但是好开心。。。

转眼间，15天的华人农历新年就这样过去了。
不知是不是越来越年纪大了，觉得时间过得越来越快，特别是快乐的时光。
也不知从何时开始，新年不再像以前那样有15天了。
我想应该是从我来新加坡开始吧。

可能小的时候想法比较简单，有红包拿就还是新年。（亲戚结婚派红包不算啦）
父母会在这15天里面带我们到很多亲戚的家拜年（很多是一年才见一次面的，就是新年咯）
自从2003年来到新加坡就学开始，新年就好像是少于十天的样子。
从槟城回到新加坡的那天就好像是新年的最后一天了。
可能是觉得这里欠缺些气氛吧。

所以，我特别珍惜回槟城的那几天。
不信的话可以问问我的家人，行程可是排得满满的。（还是不要问啦，免得我会被骂;p）
有些时间是家人的，有些是留给亲戚的，红新月会的那班朋友是一定不会少的，还有中六班上的同学，等等等等。。。当然，还有向男友的家人拜年。

很多东西随着时间的流逝在改变着。
人在改变，（physically and mentally）
话题在改变，（朋友见面说的是谁和谁结婚了，谁的工作如何，打算什么时候买屋子的）
拜年的数量在改变，（不再像以往逐家逐户去拜年）
朋友见面的地点也在改变。（最容易碰见朋友的地方应该是autocity了）

就这样，我那几天的新年很快就过去了。
不忘祝福大家，过个平平安安，开开心心，顺顺利利，健健康康的牛年。

善有善报

2009-01-12T21:56:00.003+08:00

从小，大人，老师，课本上的教学都教导我们多做善事，因为善有善报。

不少的童话故事，甚至部分的文艺小说也都让好心人有好下场。

只是，现实生活中有多少人真地相信善有善报呢？

我本身不太相信，但我做善事，因为我认为做善事不为了有什么善报。（听起来好象说到自己很伟大般，也没有啦。）

上个周五，我和男友约了下班后在港湾中心见面兼吃晚餐。因为当天带了些蛮重的东西，吃过晚餐后我们就决定早点回家早点休息。

我俩进了地铁找到两个空位就坐了下来。地铁刚刚开启，男友接到电话，致电的是我的表哥。我这表哥也在新加坡做工，偶尔会约出来吃夜宵。不过奇怪的是为什么他不打我手机反而找我的男友呢？不理吧！

可是，听男友通话的语气，表情和内容，表哥不像是在约我们吃夜宵。到了欧南园站（我们上地铁后的第一站），还没挂电的男友就示意要我们出地铁。这下可慌了，到底是什么事情呢？很自然反应的，我尝试从背包里早我的手机。可是，手机不见了。

原来，有人检到了我的手机交了给港湾中心的守护员。守护员用我的手机拨了电话给表哥的女友，表哥就通知男友此事。

真是谢天谢地的，一路回去港湾站的路程我不停在想，要是真的不见了手机该怎么好。还好见到我的手机的人没有私下占为己有。很快的，我联想回曾经我检到一部蛮贵的手机，而我当时第一个想到的不是怎么占为己有，而是可以如何找到主人把手机还他。突然间，我就很庆幸地我当时是这么做的。虽然不太有根据，但却让我相信真的是有善有善报的。

我衷心地谢谢那路不拾遗的好心人。愿大家以后一起多做善事吧。；）

Bedtime Stories

2009-01-11T22:44:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, HC and I went out early to ICA to transfer my re-entry permit to my new passport. As we will be meeting friends for a birthday celebration in the evening, it would be a bit troublesome and wasting time if we go back and come out again. Thus, we decided to have a whole day out on Saturday.

From Lavender we went to Bugis to have our nice breakfast, a very important meal of the day. Hehe.. we were just too hungry already and need some input to our stomach. I ordered a breakfast set at J.Co, 2 doughnut + 1 hot tea.

After the breakfast, we took a bus to Singapura Plaza to watch our first movie in year 2009. The lucky movie which we picked as our first movie is "Bed time stories".
This movie is about a pair of brother sister who need to be taken care by their uncle for a week. Their uncle, who work in a hotel which was once belong to his father, has never met with them for years. He has no idea how to take care of them when he hardly can communicate with them. But for his sister, he have to.

As the kids need to study in the daytime, this uncle just need to take care of the night time part. In the kids' house, their mother (someone who is very health conscious-both physical and mental) do not buy them a tv for the reason that tv will rot their mind. Thus, that leave this uncle no other entertainment to pass time with the kids than ask them to go to bed.

In this movie, the kids need some bedtime stories before sleep. The uncle then self-made some interesting real life related stories to them with them adding some ideas to the ending which they prefer. The miracle things happen on the next day where all the additional part by the kids come true. This is kind of like miracle come true type of movie as expected from walt disney.

In the real world, it sound ridiculous to know or see this kind of things happen. But somehow, it seems happen to hc and me yesteray in the cinema hall where we watched this movie "Bedtime stories".

Firstly, there were a chinese couple who came in and the girl found out that their seat are just next to me. The girl then chose to sit at the seat which further from me with another two more empty seats on the left. It's ok for me that she chose not to sit beside me. But I found it funny that the reason she wanted to sit on the further seat is because she do not want to sit with strangers. Don't she know that there is still posibility that the two empty seats on the left could be taken also? HC and I were then saying that let's an indian (no offend, just take a another race) took the seat next to her. Few minutes later, two indians came in. They then sat on the two empty seats next to her.

Then, when the screen started to show something, it seems that the quality of the display was not good. The staff of the cinema immediately try to solve it after someone went to make a complain. An announcement was made regarding the problem and all the people inside the cinema have to wait and start chit-chating with their accompanion. So do HC and I. Hehe... We were discussing about will the cinema give everyone free popcorn or maybe a complementary ticket voucher as compensation. Nothing happen untill the end of the show. There were two staff standing at the exit door giving away complementary movie pass for each of us in that cinema halls.

Haha.. it seems like miracle do happen once a while. Hehe...

2008 vs 2009

2009-01-11T20:05:00.003+08:00

It's already the 11th day of 2009. And now only I started to write this post talking about my 2008. From here, I guess you guys can know, I was defeated by my laziness badly in 2008. And it seems the beginning of 2009 is still the same.

As I said, I was very lazy in 2008, I hope I can defeat my laziness in 2009.

I wasn't really know my direction in 2008. I need to have a clearer direction and plans for my 2009.

I've tried a few new things in 2008. I put on the braces to become iron teeth lady in Sep, I perm my hair for the first time on the very last day of year 2008 and etc (can't remember others right now). What other new things will I try in year 2009? First in my list is mount Kinabalu hiking in June.

I started my marathon fever with some of my friends here since year 2007. In year 2008, I joined two so called big scale marathon activities, Nike Human Race-10km and also Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008-half marathon (21km). In year 2009, I'll challenge myself in the Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009-full marathon (42.195km).

After grad from JSHS till 2008, I've seldom contacted to some of my Sec School friends. So sorry to all of you there. I guess I'll try my best to keep in touch with you all more start from this new year of 2009.

Ever started working, I also started to lost track on my Uni friends' news. Another group of people which I need to apologize to. Let's have more outing during the weekends or some drinking and chit-chatting after work this year.

Up till year 2008, I was always showing my temper to my family and luckily I was forgiven for that everytime. I love you all. Thanks for forgiving me for being rude. Hope that I can be better in controlling my emotion in year 2009.

2008 vs 2009, wish that 2009 will be better than 2008. Lastly, happy new year to all of you. ;)

Happy Holiday!!

2008-12-22T23:30:00.003+08:00

Yeah!!! From this moment, start my 2 weeks holiday.

Not that very super excited but just feel good to be able to have some time really relax myself from working mode.

Anyway, to those who will be having holiday also, Happy Holiday and enjoy your holiday.

To all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Company shut down eve

2008-12-22T09:27:00.003+08:00

It is so quiet in my office now. I can clearly hear what everyone talking (phone or talking to colleagues) although they are sitting few tables from me.

Around me, in my section of abt 30 tables, there are only less than 5 people come to office. The colleague who sitting next to me told me that this is shut down eve syndrom. Haha...

Now, no mood to really do work. Feel like counting down to go back home. It's 940am now, which mean i still have 7 hrs and 50 minutes more to end my last day work of 2008. I am waiting...

Poll #4: which day of the week do you like most?

2008-12-10T21:02:00.006+08:00

Thanks for my supporters who placed their votes in my poll #4. Sorry to all of you as this was not up for quite some time.

When I post this poll, I actually ask myself the question. Which day of the week do I like most? As I like to do nothing at home or do something with less usage of my mind, I like off day (Saturday and Sunday) the most. hehe....

Let's see. Most of the people like Saturday the most. Quite understandable as for most of the people(working or studying) including myself, our off days per week are on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, one can do whatever you want in Saturday and not to worry about any work or study on the next day. I am in this group. ;p;p

For those who like Sunday the most, I am not very sure are these people work 6 days per week. Or maybe they have very meaningful Sunday, or could it be Sunday is the only day of the week that they can do something special(like meet with someone they admire or blah blah blah... hehehe)?

As for Friday, I guess I know who vote this day. If my guess is correct, the reason he chose Friday is similar to why most people chose Saturday as his work day is Sunday to Thursday. Am I right?

The way I see the results is something from my personal view. I guess most people will prefer off/free/no work/no study day, at least I am. Thus, the only vote which I can't think of any reason is the vote for Tuesday. Anyone can guess of any reason? Well, some people may like a particular day (although not an off day) for some particular reason like they will do some particular thing or join particular an event or meet a particular person on that particular day.

I guess my life is just too dull that make me like off day the most or maybe I placed rest (mentally and physically) as my first priority in this routine life.

SCSM 2008 Finishing Line

2008-12-10T20:39:00.008+08:00

My every moment at the finishing line... ;p

Start from my small little head behind the guy in yellow T.

Searching SCSM 2008 result

2008-12-08T16:59:00.004+08:00

What am I doing now?? I am suppose to complete some of my job related task now.

But, I am stilll lazy to start working on it.

Guess what, I am searching for Kennysia's full marathon result in Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008. What am I really doing? Sigh. Searching for someone's result yet I do not even know who this guy is. (except, I have read some of his blog as he is too famous as a blogger)

Completed 21.1km in 2:29:31 (chip time)

2008-12-08T15:33:00.003+08:00

December 7, 2008, Sunday morning was a beautiful morning. (like what the DJ kept mentioning.)

About 12K runners gathering at esplanade waiting for the flag off to start their 21.1km journey, and I am one of them.

With the attire ready, warm up ready, MP3 ready, my journey started at 6:30:52 (gun start time is 6:30:28).

Back track a bit, although I was ready with all the attire, warm up and MP3, I was not mentally ready for the run. This is not my first half marathon. My first and second half marathon was the Penang Bridge Run when I was still in JSHS. For those two run, I was consistently training before the run. However, I was not running/jogging/training/exercising for more than 2 months (at least) before yesterday. I kept thinking of reasons/excuses to not to leave my bed for the 21.1km yesterday morning. Sigh. I must be crazy the moment I registered myself in this marathon.

Back to the run, even though I am not well prepared, I forced myself to start running, continue to run and complete it. It was just a waste to pay S$40++ just for the adidas singlet. Also, I think the DJ said something which is correct, it's the courage to start the run more important. (something like that. hehehe)

Anyway, I am glad that I started the run. I am also glad that I remember to bring my MP3 with me this time. 21.1km is just way too long. Remember that my colleague said last year that it was pretty boring to run 42.195km. I was not quite get her last year. However, I am truely understand what she meant with that after the run yesterday. I need to reconsider my intention to take part in full marathon next year.

After 2h 29m 31s, finally I reached the finishing point. hehe... not too bad result. But still, there are rooms for improvement. You can view my result here or here. But please do not compare me to the champion who completed in 1:17:42, ok?!

For the 42.195km finisher t-shirt, I'll consider to take part in full marathon next year or maybe a few more years later. Anyone wanna take part together?

Pre-Braces day 7

2008-08-14T21:46:00.002+08:00

I got my 2 wisdom teeth out yesterday morning. The appointment was set at 830am.

I was quite worry about the extraction. I fear of the pain after extraction. I fear of the feeling when I open my mouth for very long time and seeing the dentist put one after another tools in my mouth. I fear of the possibility that my tooth will be fractured inside during the normal extraction and need to walk to the next level for surgical extraction.

The whole process from the moment I see the dentist till I went out from the clinic is less than 20 minutes. The first 10 minutes, I asked her something. (ya, my Dr is a she. ask her before extraction just in case my mouth too swelling to talk.) The last 5 minutes is to do the payment. The 5 minutes in between include the time she injected the 麻醉药 to the area around the teeth to be extracted, the time she did her own stuff and preparation while waiting for the 麻醉药 to get effect, some time for... Anyway, what I trying to say is the time she extracted both of my teeth is like maybe less than 1 minute only. In short, she was very fast.

Emm.. a bit late now, 11sth pm now... Let me continue this post tomorrow. By the way, I will be meeting the Indian Dr tomorrow. He will help me put the metal on my lower teeth tomorrow. That will start my first day of brace day. Let's see how it go tomorrow. ;)

Pre-braces day 4

2008-08-11T12:10:00.003+08:00

It is day 4 since the Indian Dr put the 2 elastic band in my mouth. It was very uncomfortable but I started to get used to it. (high adaptability ;p)

It is just don't feel good when I eat something which need to chew a lot. eg, meat, bread (some bread need to chew a lot) and etc. Anyway, I try my best to avoid those food. ;p

I received a SMS this morning. It was a appointment reminder from NDC (National Dental Centre). The reminder is to remind me on my appointment this Wednesday for the wisdom teeth extraction.

In fact, I wanted to reply them and tell them that I have not forgotten about this appointment ever since the moment I made this appointment.

Due to the way my wisdom teeth grow, the dentists (again there are many dentist viewing my case wherever I go) were telling me that it is still possible that they can perform normal extraction to extract my wisdom teeth. Only if the tooth got fracture inside during the extraction, they will send me to the surgical extraction.

My teeth looks scary, but the treatment to correct it sound more scary. Sigh...

May god bless me. Let them extract both the teeth smoothly and without leaving so much pain.

Pre-Braces day.

2008-08-09T20:21:00.002+08:00

For your info, you will see my teeth in dental braces very soon. (iron teeth ;p) Thus, I think it would be good to start taking down how I feel during this braces days.

Since November last year, I started to go to NUH dental clinic (Clinic 2) for some dental check up. He is an undergrad dentist who going to grad very soon and have me as a patient for his FYP (final year project). I believe he has grad to become a dentist by now already.

During his check up (about 3 times), he took a few x-ray of my teeth. Front view, side view, inside view and etc. Can't imagine how much cell of my head/brain died during that period. ;p No wonder I found myself so forgetful since then. ;p (Still not forget to blame on other for my forgetfulness).

I saw my x-ray and have it with me now (need to loan it for wisdom teeth extraction). It looks damn scary. Dunno how to describe it. But you might be able to imagine it if you see my teeth. Just super very not align. Anyway, this is one of the reason I go for the Orthodontics treatment.

He also did a mold of both my upper and lower teeth. What I can remember from this is the moment he put the "mold mixture" into my mouth. The feeling is just so irritating and uncomfortable. It's like putting some mud inside the mouth (never try putting mud inside my mouth but this is what I think it would be the same feeling).

After the 3 appointments with this undergrad dentist, he started putting my name in the queue. Since then, I was just waiting for calls from someone who I do not know till few weeks ago.

He is an Indian postgrad dentist. During my first appointment with him, he asked me to have another 2 x-ray and did the mold of my teeth again. I don't like that mud in mouth feeling. Yet, due to my abnormal teeth + his skill, I need to have that mixture into my mouth 3 times to make upper and lower teeth mold with 1 time failure. Sigh...

From my first appointment with him, I realised that I have improper bite. Because of some measurement needed, he asked me to bite as per normal. I followed what he said but he asked me to bite again. He asked me, "Is this how you bite?". I said, "ya". He then holded my lower jaw and push them backward. He then said, "This is how you bite rite? When I ask you to bite next time, bite like this. Bite at the back."

Yesterday was the 2nd appointment with him. His professor and him were discussing about how to proceed for my case. As an outsider, I can see that his professor is a very experience and expert orthodontic dentist. When she came to my Indian Dr, a few of the other dentists came near us and stood there listen to what she said. They were whispering to each others and agreeing what she said. I had a feeling like I wasthe guineapig inside an aquarium under some kind of experiment and observation. One of them even asked me to show her how I bite. She said, "Bite. Bite at the back." Same bite requested.

After his prof has gone, he told me softly that his prof is an expert in this field. That's the reason he chose her to take care of my case as my case is a bit complicated and like what he said not that straight forward.

Ya, I myself agree that my case is a bit complicated. He explained to me what are some of the options I can consider like what I heard from the discussion between his prof and him. I started to do some research on the option he gave. Anyway, that would be a decision to be made not now but in few months time.

He put elastic band between my lower wisdom tooth and the tooth next to it. He put another elastic band at the other side also. That started my pre-braces treatment.

How I feel? I started to fear of the whole treatment. It's really uncomfortable to have something inside my mouth even though the band is just much much much smaller than 5 cents coin. Do not know how to describe the feeling.

This is just the 2nd day of the pre-braces day. He told me that he will start with putting the metal on my lower teeth next week. The upper side will only start few months later. The whole treatment should be around 2 years like that. Let's see how this diary will become in these 2 years time.

Super tired...

2008-07-29T22:57:00.003+08:00

Just realised that I have only 1 post in July. I must write something. I must not disappoint my readers. ;p;p (sorry that I know I already did)

Anyway, just a recent update of myself.

I am SUPER TIRED.....

It's Monday again...

2008-07-07T09:10:00.002+08:00

Sleepy... tired... It's Monday morning again.

I wonder since when, Saturday and Sunday like a bit too short for a good rest. In fact, most of my Saturday and Sunday are not for rest. They are pack with lots of activities.

Sometimes, I sleep till noon during the weekend before my activities start but still felt tired on Monday. To some people, this is more than enough rest. One of them would be the me in 7 years ago. But that has became history.

Sometimes I would think, is it because I am getting older that I need more rest? Or, is it because that I think I am older and I deserve more rest?

Perhaps, maybe I am too lazy and lack of exercise. Think this should be the reason.

The 101th post

2008-06-27T09:16:00.003+08:00

Just realised that this is the 101th post of my blog.

You might start calculating the total number of the archive post and found that "hey, ai mei... where got 101 post?"
Haha.. You are right. There are less than 100 posts in the archive.

Since I started this blog, I used to think of any topics to write when I have time. Such as in the bus/train or sometime during working hour. oppps... shhh.. Keep it low. Don't let my boss know. ;p
However, due to my laziness, all the topics can end up in 3 different way.
1. remain in my brain. This happen most of the time due to the laziness.
2. write half way and save as draft without publish in the blog. Sound stupid to do so, but still I will stop half way.
3. published in my blog and read by all of you. This is the best ending if and only if I have the mood to finish the whole blog. ;p;p

Haha.. Anyway, congratulation to my blog for the 101th post I have.
Since this is the 101th post, let's me blow the candle and make a wish.
. . .
lOl
Huhhh.....
lOl
Hope that.... (ppl said wish won't come true if we say it out.)

Lastly, thanks to all my royal readers... If you have any suggestions or feedback on my blogs, welcome to do so. Thank you very much. ;)

The Donkey

2008-06-17T16:27:00.002+08:00

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old,
and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.

With each shovel of dirt that hit his back,
the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a steppingstone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

Monday Blue

2008-06-16T22:19:00.002+08:00

It's Monday again.
It's another month after the last month meeting.
It's another tired day after yesterday.

Yes, it is true that I am very tired recently.
Particially due to unable to sleep well these few weeks.
Also, might be due to a bit over usage of my brain.

Every now and then, I can think of a lot of topic to post in my blog.
However, the moment I sit in front of my laptop, my brain just close the door from me.
Perhaps, the moment I sit in front of my laptop is getting lesser and lesser.

Is all these because of Monday Blue?
Will I have this feeling if today is Friday?

God knows.... ;P

寬恕人的過失，便是自己的榮耀

2008-06-10T09:31:00.002+08:00

有一個小學老師在偏遠的鄉里教書，
這天，他來到自己班上的教室，
問班上的小朋友：「你們大家有沒有討厭的人啊」
小朋友們想了想，有的未作聲，有的則猛力地點點頭。

老師接著便發給每人一個袋子，說：
「我們來玩一個遊戲。現在大家想想看，過去這一週，
曾有那些人得罪過你他到底做了怎麼樣可惡的事,想到後，
就利用放學時間到河邊去找一塊石頭，
把他的名字給用小紙條貼在石頭上,
如果他實在很過份，你就找一塊大一點的石頭，
如果他的錯是小錯，你就找一塊小一點的石頭。
每天把戰利品用袋子裝到學校來給老師看哦！」

學生們感到非常有趣且新鮮，
放學後，每個人都搶著到河邊去找石頭。

第二天一早，
大家都把裝著從河邊撿來的鵝卵石的袋子帶到學校來，
興高采烈地討論著。

一天過去了，兩天過去了，三天過去了….. ，
有的人的袋子越裝越大，幾乎成了負擔。

終於，
有人提出了抗議「老師，好累喔」老師笑了笑沒說話，
立刻又有人接著喊：
「對啊每天背著這些石頭來上課，好累喔」

這時，老師終於開口了，
她笑著說：「那就放下這些代表著別人過犯的石頭吧」

孩子們有些訝異，

老師又接著講：
「學習寬恕別人的過犯，
不要把它當寶一樣的記在心上，扛在肩上，
時間久了，任誰也受不了…」

這個星期，這班的同學上到了人生中極寶貴的一課。
袋裡裝入越多、越大的「石頭」，
心中存留越多、越深的仇恨，
所造成的負擔就越重。

假如你有寫上我名字的石頭
你應當知道該怎樣做了吧！

我很喜歡一句名諺：
「寬恕人的過失，便是自己的榮耀。」
懂得「放下」，何等自在。

請不吝分享，或許今天正有人需要它！

相愛容易相處難，婚姻與戀愛最大的不同，
就是「戀愛看的是對方的優點」，
而「婚姻卻是要包容對方的缺點」。

Made with ... 緣份是找到包容你的人
用心過好每一天．相信每天都是美好的一天；

好運會降臨在樂觀開朗的人身上!

Poll #3: Do you know me?

2008-05-31T20:45:00.004+08:00

My 3rd poll has been closed since a few days ago. Someone feedback to me that I've set the opening period for my poll too short. Hehe... looking at my blog's traffic, I think he is right. Thanks for the feedback and I'll improve it. Now, let me write something about the 3rd poll.

Question: Do you know me?
5 out of 7 votes are from those who know me.
The other 2 votes are from someone who do not know me.
Seems like my blogs not only viewed by those who know me. Feel good to know that. ;P

When I was thinking about this question, in fact I asked myself what will I answer to this question. For myself, I might answer "No".

Sound a bit pathetic but I think that will be my answer. Hard to explain why but... this is also the reason why I did not write anything at the "about me" sections. Maybe I am just lazy to think of any suitable description to descript myself.

For those who know me, can you help me know more about me? Hehe...

Grad photos with family taken by using my K850i

2008-05-31T19:58:00.003+08:00

As posted in my previous post, I was back in BM to take my graduation photos with my family. We decided to take the photos at France & Taipei at Megamall there. As the shop do not give us soft copy for free and we think it would be not worth it to buy them at such expensive price, we took some photos ourselves at the shop using my K850i (5.0 megapixels).

From the left: dajie, ah 4, mummy, myself, eva and daddy.

Taken by ah 4, with her artistic angle.

My family, myself and my K850i from the mirror.

The two person who brought me to the today me.

Dajie who purposely came back from KL for this photo taking.

My cutie sister, Eva.

Myself.

Myself again, with a cool post.

Myself, acting cool again.

Final countdown: 15 hrs

2008-05-31T18:41:00.002+08:00

Tonight will be the last night I stay in my current unit in Bukit Panjang. Next stop will be at Hougang.

I have been staying here for about one year plus. Although sharing with housemate, we still considered as own the whole unit, as in not staying with the owner. We have our freedom and space over here. Thus, you can imagine, how many things we can have over here with having the freedom to buy anything (as long as we have money) and the space to put all the stuff we bought.

This time round, due to some reason we need to move. As it's a bit hard to find housemate now, we decided to rent a room (to save money). With the help of housing agent, we found this place in Hougang, within 10-15 minutes walking distance from Hougang Mall. It is a common room (as in no attached toilet) and we will need to stay with the owner. This would mean less freedom and less space.

LESS SPACE!!! With all the stuff we have, we have been doing the throwing and packing since last few weeks. This throw, that throw, throw throw throw... We did throw a lot of stuff, but there are still have many bags of clothes, many boxes of comics and CDs as well as some other stuff. It is a tiring process. But it is good to have periodically cleaning.

Now, we almost done with all our packing. Waiting for tomorrow to come and officially move in to the new room we rent. How will everything be? We don't know. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.

Here, I would like to thank to my cousin who helped me to move some of my stuff today. And for those coming to help tomorrow, thanks in advance.

Poll #2: Are you also a blogger?

2008-05-23T19:41:00.002+08:00

Seems like my poll became slightly more popular already.

From the result, it could show a few things:
1. All my readers are blogger. (direct interpretation)
2. Only bloggers read my blog.
3. Only bloggers read blogs.
4. Non-bloggers seldom read blogs.
5. Non-bloggers do not read my blog.
6. Non-bloggers too shy to vote as a non-blogger.
7. ....

Anyone has any other creative ways to interpretate this poll result?

In the mean time, it's time for me to think of the 3rd question.

cough syrup+block nose tablet+phelgm tablet+antibiotic tablet=drownsiness

2008-05-21T20:47:00.002+08:00

As you can read from the subject, I fall sick again. In fact, I never fully recovered since April that I also left a post about I fallen sick.

I was so act smart that I didn't take the medicine given by the doctor. Thinking that with a lot of water is sufficient enough.

Yesterday, I can't take it anymore. I went to see doctor and got myself some medicine (all stated in the subject, of course with my one day MC also). After a light breakfast, I became an obedient patient and took all the medicine with correct dosage.

The doctor doesn't lie. He told me that the medicine (cough syrup and block nose tablet) he gave me will cause drownsiness. They really work. After less than half an hour, I felt sleepy and fall asleep very soon. I slept for more than 4 hours, from about 12 sth to about 5 sth.

I wonder am I too tired after a few days trip back in Pg or due to the chemical reaction of the medicine that I slept for so long. However, I would say that I did feel better after the 4-5 hours rest.

Today, I took one set (all medicine except cough syrup) each after taken my breakfast and lunch in office. Since then, the only thing in my mind for whole day is, "I should have taken another day of MC today".

It's totally no fun become "sick cat".

三步一拜

2008-05-20T22:52:00.002+08:00

卫塞节当天的大清早，我们一家人就跟随妈妈到槟城慈济的静思堂去。妈妈说慈济那里会举办一个三步一拜的仪式（好像是叫朝三或三朝的）。

5时正，我们抵达静思堂，那里的师姑师伯们给我们鞋袋和指示，比如鞋子该放哪里，我们该站哪里，该怎么排，念经时该怎么走及怎么拜等等的。

其实，念的经是很简单的几个字，“喃摩本释世家摩呢佛”。脚步和手势也是很简单的，三步一拜，顾名思义就是走三步拜一次。走的路程也是简单的，围绕着静思堂一圈，都是较为干净清洁的路，没有上山下山，更没有大石子脏垃圾等。

听起来好像还蛮容易的，说真的也其实不难。只不过，也没有想象中那么容易。

人多了，要互相配合不简单。一个接一个的，要跟着脚步，不踩到别人，避免离前面的太远却要留足够的距离下跪不容易。

想想平时，以车代步，绕静思堂一圈不过几分钟的事，即使是普通漫步也不许太多时间。可是这天，我们花了几乎两个小时才能顺利地走完。

从中，我了解了一些事情。人生的道路，不会都是顺利，不过也不会都是不幸。偶尔，我的双膝跪的地方会是平地，但是偶尔会是砖块和砖块之间缝隙。虽然一路难走，而且还要走路下跪的，很多时候都有要放弃完成的念头，但是看着别人坚持的走，激发了自己也要坚持地继续走。就因为这点坚持，我完成了整个仪式，总算功德圆满。

现在，我的双脚还留有三步一拜的痕迹。双脚酸酸累累的，膝盖还有一些瘀青，但是这些都会过去。

Trip back to Penang

2008-05-20T21:28:00.002+08:00

I was back at Penang for the past 3 days (17-19 May 2008) as we have a holiday on Monday (Vesak Day). I took this oportunity to go back home because I miss Penang very much. My last trip back to Pg was during CNY. It seems to be quite long I did not go back. I miss my family, I miss my home, I miss Pg food... and they are all in Penang. (in fact, not all my family member stay in Pg now)

Anyway, I have a list of task I need to do during this trip back home.
1. take grad photo with my family members (you read it correctly, I went back this time to take my graduation photos. Don't misunderstood it, I did graduated last year just did not take the photos till now. Thanks to my sisters, back from KL to take these photos with me. Thanks to my parents also cause they still smiling even though they were very tired. Need to thanks my youngest sister also. I felt good to have spent time with them doing this although the photo price very expensive. However, it would be better if we can have one more person with us. Miss her so much.)
2. vision check (if not wrong, my last check was two years ago.)
3. eat Pg food (yummy.. I waited so long to eat Pg food. I even prepared a list of "must eat food" in my mind. Pg char keow tiao, Pg hokkien mee, Pg wantan mee, Pg cendol, Pg ice kacang, mummy's homemade pig leg in vinegar, Pg laksa, Pg curry mee, Pg jawa mee etc... I managed to eat some of them but not all. Some people might think, "you can find most of them in Sg also ma". To this people, "you are wrong!!!" Sg food are no fight to Pg food. I think most of Penangites who stay here will agree with me.)
4. bring cookies back sg for my colleagues
5. bring some of my stuff back to bm (need to clear some of my stuff, cause need to move again soon.)
6. meet with some of my RC friends

Although I am very tired, not enough sleep, not enough rest throughout the trip, I still felt happy that I went back to BM.

First poll result

2008-05-15T18:54:00.010+08:00

I've started a poll one week ago. This poll was opened for a period of one week.

After this one week, I finally got my first poll result.

Poll question: Which language do you prefer? (I mean for my blog)
Option: English, Chinese, Malay , Japanese (these are some of the languages I know)

Deng Deng Deng Deng......

Total number of vote: 3 (thank you the 3 of you very much. in fact, the 1st 2 votes were voted after I forced them to cast their vote. This shows my blog is very low profile.)
Highest vote: English with 2 votes (to thank the 2 of the 3 royal readers, I write this post in English)
2nd highest vote: Chinese
Lowest vote: Malay and Japanese (luckily no one vote for these 2 languages, wonder if I still manage to write a complete passage in these 2 languages)

Now I know, English is prefered. Thus, I'll try my best to write more in English. Hopefully everyone can bare for my poor and "private limited" English.

Since this poll is closed, let me think of another poll question. Suggestions and ideas are welcomed. ;)

It's HOT!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-07T22:15:00.002+08:00

It's very very very extremely super HOT now....
Not mentally "hot" but is the weather.
How long can I stand this hot weather without air-con?

All, please save the earth, save yourself.
Be green.
Always be environmental friendly.

Opps.. since when I became so "green"?
Dunno. Just know that everyone effect count.
A man is a man, no matter how small.

一個人的態度，決定他的高度

2008-05-05T09:33:00.001+08:00

心若改變，態度跟著改變；
態度改變，習慣跟著改變；
習慣改變，性格跟著改變；
性格改變，人生跟著改變。

一个人

2008-05-01T21:53:00.003+08:00

一个人真的可以作重要的决定吗？重要的程度到哪？
一个人真的可以自己独个儿生存吗？能独个儿多久？
一个人真的可以不理会别人的心意吗？不算自私吗？

一个人真的可以想怎样就怎样吗？
一个人真的可以说了就算吗？
一个人真的可以把所有感受抒发出来吗？

复杂的情绪

2008-04-29T12:13:00.002+08:00

发现这两个星期里自己的情绪变化复杂。
开心，快乐，伤心，痛苦，烦躁，担心，害怕。。。等等等等矛盾的心情在心里。
有时真的觉得很辛苦，情绪的变化实在很大。
有时有一点累。。。
最可怜的是我的指甲，他们被我遗留四处。
放心，我想我还没有崩溃。
只不过，偶尔会想，崩溃的人是不是也曾经历过这些。。。

Less than half an hour

2008-04-24T22:34:00.002+08:00

In less than half an hour time, I'll need to call for a conference call meeting. So lazy but nothing I can do to not to call...

In fact, I can have a reason. I am sick... Since last last Saturday till now still haven't recovered. Sigh... The virus in my body really like me too much.

Anyway, still have 23 minutes... Better get myself prepare for the meeting later. ;)

微笑的力量

2008-04-20T20:12:00.003+08:00

曾经，我在另一个部落格里写过这么一片“微笑以后”。
里边有一句“微笑和年龄的增长成了对比”。
那时，总觉得微笑好像比以前来的困难。
朋友好意地逗我开心，却成了我泄气的对象。

最近，读到一篇文章，微笑的力量足以感染周围的人。

Uncertainties.... Interesting???

2008-04-20T17:26:00.004+08:00

After some up and down, I've finally got myself to sort of settle down. Trying very hard to get myself to a more normal life. (might not be very hard, but since i am a lazy and slacking type...)

Registered to the PAssion card early this year in Jan, thinking to join some of the courses in CC with cheaper member price. Was so enthu when the moment I paid for the PAssion card membership fees. (for those who know me well should know what will happen later. ;p) Drag..Drag.. Drag... Giving myself with a lot of different excuses. Thus, the first course (yoga) was signed up in March. Two months time for me to finally decide to sign up a course. Sigh.. I am so lazy.

Today, I went to the 2nd course (aerobics dance) for the 1st session. It was a tiring session but fun and exciting. To compare both Yoga and Aerobics, they are totally different. Yoga is soft and relaxing whereby Aerobics are more active and tiring. Yoga teacher told us to breath thru our nose only but not our mouth whereas the Aerobics teacher told us to breath in thru our nose and breath out thru mouth and nose.

Anyway, I really enoy going to both the classes, at least I have some work up every week.

But....... It seems like we shouldn't have a stable life. The moment I found myself in a more stable and settled down life, I got a bad/good news of the day. In short, I might need to move again. Hai... It is bad because it is really not that fun to move every few months. Tiring, time consuming, giving headache and also hurt the wallet. It might be good because we can change to a new place which might be more convenient to us (work and go kai kai).

Hai... Life is full of uncertainties, which make life more interesting.

Seems recovering but getting serious

2008-04-17T22:49:00.002+08:00

Virus attacked!!!

1st attack: sausage lips (again.. sien....)
2nd attack: sore throat
3rd attack: fever
4th attack: cough
5th attack: runny nose

When can they stop attacking me?????
MC yesterday, thought recovering soon.
Work today, think I might need another day of MC.

Please all drink more water and rest more....

Acknowledgement

2008-04-17T22:14:00.002+08:00

While studying HRM, we learned about different types of job satisfaction and also different kinds of motivation. Those were all in theory.

After working, I started to think of what is my job satisfaction and what is my motivation. Bonus? Increment? They are for sure a form of motivator, but they are better to be considered as the hygiene factor. Hygiene factor is the factor where having it might not motivate you, but without it might demotivate you. As for me, I sure happy when given bonus or increment. However, they are something given to everyone. Thus, the happy and joyful feeling left very soon. (left very soon better than being demotivated. hehehe..)

Today, I realised a great form of job satisfaction and excellent motivation. They are the "Acknowledgement". I can't really describe how great it is being acknowledged by someone especially your boss, but it really feel good and nice and refreshing and.... It is like after some hard work (maybe not very hard or maybe it's really hard), someone see it and appreciate it. And you know what you have been doing is something worth-doing. This is also like a guide for the direction and path forward.

Not good in describing. Anyway, I am just very happy and energised. Thanks boss. I'll keep my promise as to continue work harder and looking forward to the next acknowledgement. ;p

我怀念的：臭汗味版

2008-04-15T22:49:00.001+08:00

今天和薇薇约好下班后去逛书店。虽然逛书店很不是我的性格，但是我还是去了。结果还买了两本书，还算蛮有收获的。

和薇薇在豫浪东站分别后，一个人的我拿出其中一本战利品开始品尝。搭轻快铁回家的途中，有一群男孩走进轻快铁。由于我还蛮陶醉于那本战利品，开始时并没有注意到他们的出现。只是慢慢的，开始嗅到一股蛮重的臭汗味。抬头一看，三个中学男生。

到站后，我在想，为何现在的青少年像是不顾虑到周围的人。这么臭就不好出来吧。

想着想着，就想起中一到中四的自己。

中一开始，我就加入了红星月会。当时的我进入红星的其中一个原因是不想浪费姐姐定做的红星制服，其他的也没有去想。不去理会还有什么团体也不去理会红星的活动或要求。

加入后，接触到的不只是急救上的常识，还有一连串的步操训练和一个接一个的筹备活动。

有点夜了，明天继续。。。。 ;p

Hungry.....

2008-04-13T19:06:00.002+08:00

I am very hungry now... Waiting for the "golden pillow" delivered to me. The operator said, will be delivered at abt 8 sth or 9 sth.

Oh god... I am really hungry...

Before I start writing this post, I was reading someone's blog. He is a "food hunter". He do not know he got such a name cause I just creater it for him 5 seconds ago... His blog is all about the foods he ate with some of his comments. In fact, I should add another word in front, "rich food hunter". He had been flied to quite a lot of places in 3 months time. California, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong etc... Reading his blog made me more hungry. And so, I decided stop reading for a while and write on my own blog.

It seems doing something else do not distract myself from the starving feeling. I am gonna find something to eat now.

Shag...

2008-04-09T18:46:00.002+08:00

SHAGGG....

This word has been used in my msn nick for a few days already. A few of my friends ask me why am I so shag.

My reply to them is, there are quite a few issues came to me these few days. A bit lost to do not know how to handle them properly. That make me think of what cause me so lost.

1. I am too "cincai" with most of the things for the past. Seems like i seldom take things serious. Neither studies nor life. For studies, as long as can pass it's enough and don't bother to understand more detail or remember them after exam. For life, don't bother to learn anything (other than what i learn from school) seriously.

2. I was too used to the "tao bi" way of solving problem. In fact, the problem never solved with this stupid and coward method.

And so, i told myself these are some of the bad habit which shouldn't have on me. From now on, I must not be so "whatever" style. When learn somethings, really need to learn by heart. I started with paying S$50 for the yoga class. I told myself that i must not skip any of the class. If possible, practice them at home. Good start har?? ;p;p

As to how to throw away the bad habit of "tao bi", still thinking of a more practical solution. But currently, I think solving the issues i met in my work can be considered as part of the training to face problem. Any suggestions?

我怀念的：中六考试版

2008-03-26T20:49:00.003+08:00

突然想起是时候为部落格添些想法了。人老了，开始担心有一天会把一切给忘了，想到就记了下来。

刚才搭巴士回家的途中，站在我前面的是一群JC（Junior College）的学生。从他们的外表与谈吐看到他们年轻的样子，也看到他们年轻的心态。

想想自己有点老了，和他们差不多年龄已是几年前的事情了。该算是中六的那两年吧。

随着，很多中六的画面都涌了出来。

自己一个人，穿着黑色的外套，坐在学校礼堂的台上考试（应该没有几个人有这机会吧。）。那次的考试，我尝到中学里第一次上台领全年总成绩优异奖（全理科生排名第九/十/十一）。可能在台上考试是有帮助的。；p

放弃题目。这是考PA的时候吧。记得PA有一题是画graph的，应该是20分的题目。也不知道自己是为什么的，看着题目，脑海里就是没有哪个冲动要把它给做完。结果就左摸摸，右摸摸，考试时间还没结束就已经没有了20分。还好，其他的做得还不错，还可以及格。总成绩来说，还满意的。。哈哈。。

错一题。这其实没什么值得高兴的。STPM Trial Exam 的时候，我的Physic选择题50题里就只错了一题。听起来好像很不错，有些朋友还来不及做完所有的题目，而我竟有时间重检几次。其实啊，50 题都是往年的考题。而当时的我，“努力”到做了很多年的测试（随朋友复印了很多，不做很浪费），这50题我几乎都做过了。竟然还有落网之鱼，真是的。。。

除了疯狂的，也有烂的。记得有一个英文测试（MUET），好几个朋友一次就靠了个Band 5(1 最差，6最好）。而我，靠了两次还是3此才"成功"考到Band 4。真差劲。。。。

考试版暂时告一段落，我要去冲凉了。

What am I doing now?

2007-09-21T12:57:00.000+08:00

For those who know me well and observative enough, will know what I am doing.

However, I'll still like to let others know what I am doing now. ;p

Listening to Stephanie Sun's songs. (now is I don;t like)
Looking at my laptop.
Writing my blog.
Waiting for lunch.

Brain in standby mode now....
Stomach in fighting mode now....
Finger in slow mode now....
Body in worm mode now....
Face in stone mode now....

Ai yo... I don't know what am I doing now la.

*************
This is not normal..
But this is a normal reaction when someone is starving and brain not functioning well.
Maybe not to you but yes for me.
Btw, the song no longer the same already. now is my love.

那个第一天

2007-09-07T13:24:00.000+08:00

刚才，走着回来的路途中，脑海里突然涌起第一天来这儿（聪敏的人应该知道这儿是哪里，不便说得太明了）的画面。

第一天的我，身穿一套正经十足的上班服，保护着我的脚的是一双死咬我脚的黑色包鞋，头发则是整齐的马尾。那时的我，就是那么一个“标准”的上班女郎。今天的我，比大学生还来得大学生（T-恤，牛仔和运动包鞋），一天比一天穿得简单方便。

那天，我的桌上就只有几样最基本需要的用具。曾经问过我的“邻居”，为何他的桌子那么多东西我的却没有。现在看看我的桌子，虽然还没有到达他的境界，垃圾却越来越多了。

过去的一切，藏在脑海，偶尔回忆也是乐事。

坚持

2007-08-19T11:51:00.000+08:00

有好一短时间没有认真地打理我的部落格了。原因？没有话题，太忙了，太累了，懒惰了。

前者，没有话题吗？其实也不算。从我曾经一度疯狂写部落格开始，脑海里会时不时想到不同不同的话题。所以这原因不成立。

太忙了？白天做工，放工后偶尔煮饭烧菜的，吃饱晚餐上上网，继续一些下班前还没有完成的首尾。很忙吗？工作方面的责任慢慢增加了，每一个要做的决定都需要想清楚，查清楚。

太累了？有时吧。不过，不算原因，倒算借口。

懒惰？相信是罪魁祸首。

我要摆脱懒惰这个恶魔，我需要定力，我需要坚持。

My house

2007-08-08T09:39:00.001+08:00

Got this personality test from wei wei's blogspot. Quite fun but really hard to draw with mouse.

Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. son. When it comes to love, you shut yourself off. It's difficult to win your heart because you have decided to keep your feelings deep inside. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be. You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

Draw your house.

升级了

2007-08-08T08:43:00.000+08:00

昨天，我升级了。（高兴吧！？）

工作上的？别发梦了，还没有这么快吧。

高度？我也想，醒醒吧，过了发育期了。

网上游戏的？荒废了一段时期了，加上电脑垮了。

猜不到吧，hehehehehehehehehehehehe....

是身份啦。

不了解？哈哈哈。。。因为我的大姐生了个小男孩，是我父母的第一个外孙，我几姐妹的第一个外甥（称呼对吗？）。现在的我不再只是三姐而已了，我升级成三姨了。

虽然三姨感觉好像老了一点（对不起全天下的三姨，没有别的意思的），不过，家里添加个孩子是非常兴奋的。

高喊大姐万岁！！！！

我的4年

2007-08-03T22:29:00.000+08:00

几天前，有个蛮熟的大学执行人员（admin staff）告诉我她将到我的中学做宣传，希望我可以写些对我的大学的小小感受。看到她的要求时，毫无考虑地就答应了。

几天后，脑袋还是一片空白，不知道自己该写些什么。

4年了，我问自己，该有什么感想？该有什么感觉？该有些什么感触？我不知道。最起码，暂时的我还没有答案。

忙碌，盲目，是暂时在我脑海里浮现的两个词。

忙碌地完成每一年不同的使命，课业上的，活动上的，生活上的。
盲目地完成每一年不同的使命，课业上的，活动上的，生活上的。

是人开始老了，脑袋不太灵活去想了，还是那就是我的4年大学生涯？

那你的呢？

A little updates

2007-08-02T11:47:00.001+08:00

It has been quite some time I abandon this blog. ;p;p Sorry to all my readers.

A lot of things happened for the past few weeks, including my convocation ceremony, my parents and sister visit to singapore, my graduation evening, my additional living status in Singapore, last trip to ica building (at least for the time being, "last" trip) and etc.....

Oh ya, surely i dun wanna to miss out this, I've finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow. What I think about this ending? Better dun discuss here first, or those haven't read will block my blogspot. ;p;p

So tired. Dunno what to think.. brain not functioning well.. ;p;p

活起来

2007-07-20T22:03:00.000+08:00

今天和一位同事谈起话（第一次谈话），感觉很好。从她那里得到了一些关于长跑的节目，触发了我的一点想法。

发现到，我老是爱讲羡慕以前的我，以前的我比较有活力，现在的我已经没有当年的疯狂了什么的。今天才了解到当我再讲这些话的当儿，我其实是在原地踏步的。

大学的四年，自己对人，对事，对兴趣，对生活，对一切一切的热诚渐渐的减少。可能，就因为自己执著着过去的辉煌，而不愿前进。

想通了，我要活起来，不再过着昏睡般的生活，我要获得比以前更加精彩。

我要坚持！！！

A few trips to ICA

2007-07-19T09:03:00.000+08:00

Thanks god that I have my pr application process almost done. Now, left only the collection of IC.

Since that day, 28 May 2007 (if not wrong), I've went to ICA a few times more than most of my friends.

28th May, went there twice as I forgot to bring my original birth cert (i brought the photocopy one but left the original one at home. dunno for wat.). I had to rush back to my home, get the original birth cert and rush back to ICA.

8th June, the third time I went there. This time was to cancel the first temp employment pass. (long story, sad story, don't ask me to tell you ;p;p)

15th June, the forth time of my trip to ICA. This time was to reapply temp employment pass.

19th July, should be my last 2nd trip to ICA for PR application purpose. (Really hope so)

After stuck in the level 5 of ICA building for so many times (and also so many hours), it's a relieve that this process will be ending soon. Good luck and all the best to those still waiting. Feel free to ask me if you have any question regarding the process at level 5 of ICA building, I'll try to answer your question if I can. ;p;p

To go next: 3rd storey-ICA building.

两个星期

2007-06-29T08:58:00.000+08:00

就这样，我开始上班也有两个星期了。

时间过得好快好快，回想这两个星期做了什么，好像不太多。可能真的不太多，可能我的记忆有点不太好。

暂时还蛮享受这里的一切，希望往后的日子也一样或更好。 ;p;p
