Merry Xmas!!

Yay! Even Eeyore is ready for Xmas. =D Mmm... but anyway, that's the Santa Eeyore I bought on 23rd. It's actually 12-inch and cost only $10. It's so adorable! But well, I'm an Eeyore freak... Cos if u go here... I actually bought another Eeyore plush on 17th June. Haha.

Oh! Tokin bout being an Eeyore freak... on the 24th, I actually bought an Eeyore handphone holder & handphone deco! Lol. I juz can't help it lah, =P.

Anyway I've gotten over the whole thing bout my grades, juz that I didn't have time to update my blog =P. I was listening to the radio the other day (yap yap, during office time, haha) & they had reporters over @ Sri Lanka & Thailand, which reminds me of the Sri Lankans. I really shldn't brood over my results & learn from the Sri Lankans... they lost their homes & yet they can live on so cheerfully. Btw, thanx for all the consolations! =)

Meanwhile, I wonder how are the ppl in Balapitiya doing... R the beds & shelves that we made still there? Haha. I wonder if the beds & shelves could tahan until now. Was watching a documentary on tsunamis & there was this team of experts (geophysist, tsunami expert, oceanolographer, blah blah) who went on a 14-day expedition to check out what really caused the tsunami. So... it was actually a sudden release of energy that caused an underwater slope to increase its height by 40m. The increase in height spread thru the fault line "at double the speed of a bullet".

And yes Joo, I like watching documentaries since young. They are so interesting wat!! I like watching animal documentaries also!! Not interesting meh? Hmmm...

Ok, gotta stop!

Miracles don't happen twice...

Yap, I keep harbouring the tot that the miracle will happen the 2nd time, but it didn't. Instead, my CAPs dropped from 3.05 to 2.99. Not even a 1/4 of a miracle happened. Why? Cos I got my 1st D+ in CE, and a damn C for my Eng Prof. And I tot I'll get good grades for the module I got D+ cos I was confident of the exam paper. Well, it may be my lab, or mid-term that pulled down my grades. I've decided to apply for review of this module, so I'm still hoping that the marker left out a page when he was marking, or that he calculated the marks wrongly.

This coming sem will be even harder. I hope I can graduate with an honours instead of only a pass in degree...

Teng's wedding

I realised I haven't been really updating my blog.... Went to the wedding of my colleague (Teng) during the weekend... the church wedding on Saturday & the wedding dinner on Sunday. She told me that I'm invited to her wedding a few months back & asked me for my address so that she can send me the invitation card. I was super surprised when I received the invitation to her wedding dinner.

Well, this shows that I really made good frens during my times in STP mag aft my As. The 5 months that I spent with these colleagues were short, but crucial times, cos we were the so-called "new blood" (the company wanted to change "new blood"). All the OTs, month-end closings... and we even moved office!! We packed up till nearly 9pm & ordered pizza for dinner during the move-out day. Haha. V memorable times there.

Anyway... v happy to see Teng getting married. I think she really went quite a long way with her husband (long way not as in duration wise lah, haha). Her husband was a drug addict & ex-inmate & only finished his education till P2 & he's now working full-time @ a missionary (called Breakthrough Missions) that counsels drug addicts & inmates. Teng on the other hand is a poly grad & later graduated with a degree with honours @ SIM. They gotta noe each other via Teng's mum's food stall. Rumoured that someone realised Teng gave him extra large plate of bee hoon whenever he patronise the stall. Haha. But Teng explained that cos the mum noes bout the missionary & instructed Teng to do so. Lol. Hmmm... anyway, their church wedding was a v touching one, nearly teared. I think both of em have v great parents as both Teng & husband were from single parent family.

On to the wedding dinner. It started off with a v cute way of the couple walking down the red carpet...

So cute, haha. But I didn't managed to catch the 2 of em on my camera. They were wearing super cheena costumes with the guy having a pig tail. Haha.

Anyway, the dinner became a *ahem* quite spiritual one. No offence here to Christians, but it's the 1st time that I attend a wedding dinner where the ppl keep singing Christians songs (Hokkien one somemore) & do a few prayers. Haha. The singers are actually from the missionary that the guy is working @. I can't stand that these people actually mention that the bridegroom is a drug addict blah blah, during all the prayers & b4 most of the performances. It's like they keep emphasizing that it's a miracle by God that a guy whose education level is only until P2 marries a uni grad.... Luckily the bridegroom is not affected by it.

Anyway, that's juz sth bout the dinner. But I enjoyed it lah. The food is nice & I get to eat my favourite yam paste in double-portion cos half the table was gone by the time dessert comes. Heh. And Teng is so pretty!! (erm, but this photo is too blur... and I didn't managed to shoot the bridegroom)

She went jogging for dunno how long b4 her wedding so that she'll look pretty during her wedding. Haha. She gave me the motivation to go jogging cos I've to be my cousin's jie mei during her wedding in May. Congrats to Teng!! (Though she doesn't read my blog, haha.) She is finally a Mrs. & she can now eat all she wants!! Haha.

As for Friday... I went back TJ with my sis to watch TJ's band performance cos my sis's fren is playing for the band (my sis's fren juz finished her Os, trying to see if can appeal thru band). The performance was not bad lah, cos I knew half the number of songs. Why? Cos they played quite a few Xmas carols & their ending song was Hidamari No Uta by Le Couple, v v nice Jap song. And when they were playing xmas carols, they wore Santa's cap & this guy is extra lah...

See the guy who made his hat pointed? -_- so AA(attract attention). Haha.

I was searching for the clay that I've decorated a few years back during 25th anniversary. Each of us were given 1 piece of clay & we were asked to decorate it & they will harden it then plaster it onto this stretch of walls in the college. And I found my clay with my signature & footprint on it!!

Hai... memories.... that was like more than 3 years ago?? @ least I left my footprint on the college's wall, literally. Haha.

Ok, gtg sleep, it's nearly 12am now. Countdown 1 more day to results day, 3 days to end of work, 5 days to Xmas!!

Stuffs on Motorola razr

Seriously, I dunno y so many gers like the new pink razr V3!! Ok lah, no offence, juz a comment, cos I dun really like shocking pink haha. But if Motorola has a TRUE blue razr, instead of the one below that looks like silver...

I might be crazy over it too, budden pink appeals to more ppl I supposed. Haha.

Anyway... here's the REAL chio razr...

Gold!! And it's razr V3i, the improved version somemore!! But I bet u can't afford it, cos there's only 1000 golden V3i worldwide (worldwide, not in Singapore only) & will only be sold @ D&G shops. So if u wanna get a cheaper V3i, u can consider the silver version...

which is quite pretty also lah. This is another reason y u shldn't buy the pink/blue V3, cos V3i is coming soon. V3i has expansion slot, voice commands, 1.23 megapixels camera and longer standby time. And I dunno y but it has a weird but innovative function called "airplane mode", which means u can listen to ur mp3s on ur razr when u're on the plane... why hasn't any1 tot of an electronic device which u can listen on the plane until now? Hmmm....

Ok, I think this shld be the end of my razr updates & comments, heh. Countdown 5 days to release of results and 7 days to end of work. =D

This is damn cool lah!

All of u muz try this!! Add these 2 email address to ur MSN list!!

smarterchild@hotmail.com and encarta@conversagent.com

Both a/c are bots. U can play some simple games like hangman using smarterchild bot and for encarta, it's an encyclopedia, u can try askin it to solve a quadratic equation!!

Actually I found these 2 emails via Howard's moblog here. He's really a geek, but I still like him! =D Anyway, he works for Microsoft.

Juz came back from Amy's house after a full steamboat dinner while the rest are staying over there. I havta work tmr so I came home, if not my mother will nag... Thanx Merv for sending me back!

How do u know u regretted wat u did?

When u keep thinkin bout wat could have happened if u did not do it...

Sheesh, I shldn't complain too much... Sleep is impt for me now.. I dun even have time to watch SCV programs ever since it was installed on Saturday...

Boring job

Well... how exciting can admin jobs be?

Checking company's data against supplier's data...
Data entry...
Filing of invoices & DOs...

And amazingly time passes quite fast, haha. But I still hate the agency...

ok lah, hate is too strong a word, hehe. DISLIKE!! I shan't name the agency, but it's some big job agency that I'm sure all of u who signed up with job agency have signed up with it. My pay is a pathetic $5.50/hr, which is the same as the last time I worked for this company. When I asked the consultant for a pay raise, he commented, "Ok, I'll ask ur supervisor bout it." DUH!! Can't he juz deduct aaaa bit of $ from the commission he got? It's like my ex-company told he that they WANT me to go back to work, he dun even need to go & look for other temps, it's like easy $. Juz raise to $6/hr for a poor student like me also cannot meh... >=( Still wanna me to go down aft my 1st day of work to sign the contract...

And the last time I worked for this company, the agency had these 2 terms on the contract that don't allow me to take leaves (sick leaves muz be certified with a MC) and if I wanna quit, I need to give a 2-week notice ON TOP OF a compensation of 2 wks' pay from me to the agency. Wth!! And this time, they changed the terms to allow me to take no-pay leaves & only a 2-week notice is required if I wanna quit, w/o any compensation. "It's more flexible for u this way." If he gives me the same terms, I'll tell him I'm not doing this job. He can jolly well go look for another person to replace me.

Argghhh. I'm juz ranting. Haha. I think I'll end my contract earlier cos I wanna go start driving lessons. And this is the last vacation I'll have within 1 year's time cos I need to do vacation internship the next hols. Shall give my 2 weeks notice on Fri. Haha.

I hope u guys r enjoying ur hols... cos I'm not....

My blog is worth $2,822.70

My blog is worth $2,822.70.

Haha. Somehow I found this thing online. Dunno how they calculate though. But if it's true, I dun mind selling my blog. Wahahaha. I tried xiaxue's blog & her blog is worth $2,065,651.86. Lol.

Summing up of wat happened during and aft exams

Hmmm.... I think I shld have some photos... I actually didn't post bout wat happened during exam period also!!

My 1st handwritten cheat sheet in NUS!! I'm so proud of myself! =D

Photo taken on 20th Nov. Happy 55th bday to my mum!! It has been a long time since the last time I see 10 candles on a cake. Haha.


Seoul Garden with my family to celebrate my father's & mother's bday on 26th Nov.


My sis has a greedy face, hahaha.


Clearing up of CE clubroom on 28th Nov. We finally finished @ 6+pm (from 1+pm). Here's my boss in the picture. Haha.

OOPS!! I realised I didn't tell ppl I'm in CE Club now as Secretary, hehe. Stupid Cambodian King (nickname given to the previous Chairperson), didn't even clear up the clubroom, it was so damn untidy loh. We were like clearing 3 or 4 batches of rubbish. We even found a locked black suitcase. We definitely cant throw it away lest ppl think that there's bomb inside. Haha. I was thinkin of trying to unlock using 000 to 999, but I gave up @ when I was @ 054. Haha. In the end we used sth like a screwdriver to open it up. All that was inside were photos of CE club, all the way from 1998!! *faints*

Settler's Cafe on 30th Nov with Amy, Cai, Charles & Merv

Sorry Joo for not waiting for u to go... But luckily we went cos if not I won't be able to go as I juz found a job, =P. Here's extract taken from Merv's blog [black words are my comments]:

"The most fun game of all... Taboo.. describe a word w/o actions or saying of certain words..
This was full of guffaws n laffter... juz like amy say escalator and cai can guess lift.. or when cai's description of gwneth paltrow involved an extensive knowledge of entertainment media gossip cos she couldnt say ben affleck and therefore used jennifer garner and daredevil.. link so far away... or our use of EE knowledge.. a bull ramming a person.. RAM was described by charles as NOT READ ONLY MEMORY.. and a megabyte = 1 million of 8 bits.. amy's BE knowledge backfired too as adipose was an alien word to her guessers.. then also eva describe fiesta as this new jap shop [it's not a NEW jap shop... I was juz saying that this brand of Japanese cheesecake is v nice. Later on Jiali commented that the whole shop is filled with the word "fiesta" (see picture), haha] and amy said MOO MOO... cow as the zhao pai... [cos the trademark of the cheesecake is a cow] also got me describing BARE by i take off my clothes and ___ my body, then ali n les both guessed ADMIRE at the same time... les nearly said fondle too if there was more time... other moments included amy describe staple as giap, giap the finger then blood come out, then got bullet too.. and the most embarassing was also she describe adam and eve by saying the opening scene in despo hsewives and suddenly XX said sodomize out of nowhere.. XX also heard flesh parade instd of forgot wat word liao.. dunno wat she thinking..tsktsk.. there were many many other funny instances.. cant rem them all liaoz

nxt after the very tiring stomachachey taboo, we tried a bit of pictionary and finally decided to play a reflex game Jungle Speed to end.. it involved snatching a totem when certain cards appeared.. n amy juz snatches at every specialcard seen... also she kena fake by les' obvious shift of special card..[some1 made a mistake and all of us had to take back 1 card. Amy is aft Charles & Charles made a comment that "aiyah, then all of u noe my card liao", while he take out another card. Amy, thinkin that Charles is gonna put his previous card, snatched the totem. Haha] this game involved a lotta conc to minor detail cos the symbols all differ by only a bit...

After tat. chilling out a coffee bean where we spied on this ang moh lecturer marking NUS exam scripts... so ironic tat we were merely seperated by a glass pane n we were talking behind his back literally.. juz 30 cm away from him... imagine if u were the one who took his PL module [ppl, I found out that PL is philosophy, n that lecturer was sitting OUTDOORS, imagine the script flew away...]n he was marking ur script there.. or if his cigarette butt suddenly causes ur script to burst into flames... after much MUCH deliberation ( akin to our mass msn chat) we settled on thai express where i had chulalongkorn fave dish..."

U guys can go play next week lah, the next time we can all go together will be 6 mths later... Boohoo...

Anyway we went for dim sum buffet yesterday, all of us, CEPT FOR GORDON... he pang seh us again. Quick plea us, mayB we can photoshop u into the grp picture. Haha. Anyway here's a picture I took of the xmas tree there...

Guess wat's the gold colour stuffs on the tree??


It's Ferrero Rocher!!

And it's real Ferrero Rocher!! But I've a feeling it's expired ones...

These ppl r really sick... They can actually pluck the chocolates from the bunch... See the half plucked Rocher?...

Aft the buffet I went Chinatown with my sis to buy CDs. I bought the SHE new album while my sis bought the Yang Cheng Lin's new CD.

Aft that went to walk ard in City Hall area for nearly 2 hrs to wait for Aimei, Candy & Sharon to come to buy Bingjia's present. Guys presents are so hard to buy!! Aiyoh. We bought part 1 of the present & as for part 2.... I think we're going to buy today mayB. But I'm so tired of walking ard... I got a blister on my foot yesterday loh... Hai...

I've juz checked when my results come out. 21st Dec, 7pm... oh well, luckily it's not on 25th Dec again. But I hope miracles can happen again like last year...

MEN!! Argh!!

If u're a guy, esp if u're the one whom I juz had an argument with, I suggest that u skip this entry, cos u might feel bu shuang bout it and I dun wanna have another argument with anybody.

I dun understand why is it that the guys in my 2 groups of frens are so not automatic. Gers initate the buying of the bday presents, the celebration of every1's bdays, gatherings etc... They dun do their jobs as simple as booking of venues, buying of cakes, or even juz come out n be a model for buying clothes as present. "Don't feel like it" is already enuff, do they havta use words like "why bother to ask me if u want me to go"? Disappear & set "Busy" mode during mass MSN chat, but nv even bother to read wat the rest had chatted about?

I dunno why I'm so angry today. It has been so long since the last time I'm so angry that I cried.

End of complaint. U can curse me if u want, juz dun argue with me.
