Suay suay suay

Last year's 1st sem was also suay for me... I've a feeling it's a norm for my 1st sem to be more suay than 2nd sem... But for me... The year 2006 has really been quite suay...

I was on the phone with my design project grp mate, Wang Chen, on the bus on my way home on Thurs. When I got down the bus I dropped the hp pouch that Aimei bought for me from Thailand. BOOHOO. And on the same day, I found out my card reader was spoilt... which means I can't use my SD card as thumbdrive!

And how bout struggling to transport the damn DJ console for CE day?

And during my 3 mths in ST, I missed the damn company bus by less than 1min for more than 3 times.

And a fren juz tried to console me on MSN:

XXX says (12:23):
dun worry.
XXX says (12:23):
when u reach the lowest pt...
XXX says (12:23):
the onli way u can go is up....
XXX says (12:23):
so u will eventually be lucky again....
XXX says (12:23):
unless it's a bottomless pit.....hahhaa

which I was thinkin bout it... Yah ah... I shld be able to get lucky again. MayB cos all my luck was used on the 1st miracle of my results back in Dec 2004.

Week 2 seems like week 7 to me

And to other CE peeps too. It's the 1st time I see ppl staying over in school (other than those staying in hall) on week 2 of school... Poor Qiulin, she looked so stressed when I saw her.

And there's Cail, who has a grp mate from HELL. Haha. And I totally agree. This grp mate from hell... Let's call her Z. Was already disgusted with her.

  1. We had a MCQ class quiz. All of us submitted already. Some ppl were standing in front @ the stage asking the prof what the correct answers are. QL saw Z standing BEHIND the prof, listening to his correct answers & changing her answers to the correct one.
  2. Z was supposed to do a proj with Weicong. She kept pestering him to start doing the proj. He told her he's busy recently. Later on Z joined another grp & asked WC to look for grp members himself. In the end I did the proj with WC & it turned our well, we were great partners! Blessing in disguise for him, haha. (Imagine he did the proj with her & he'll be as suay as Cai)
  3. Now Cai's proj prof couldn't recognise Cai & her other members cept for Z. Then the prof said to Z during the proj meeting that if her grp members nv help, he can email em. Z nv say anything. WTH! How can she do that?! Cai & Grace definitely did more than her loh. Madness!
This Z is really damn sucky lah. Totally disgusted with her.

Anyway as for me... hai... I also had my difficulty with grp members. It's really not her fault. But for the moment there wun be any problems. Hope it'll go on like this.

I can forsee week 7 will feel like week 2 to me cos I'll be having only 2-day week. =)

Zouked!

We decided to go Project X (NUSSU bash) after we know that it's free entrance & that the 1st 500 ppl will get free goodie bag... But I think the free goodie bag was bluff ppl one... We had to buy the drink coupon which was $7/drink, then we can get free vouchers...

Anyway, was quite fun since it has been so long since the last time I go chiong. Saw Edward (my pri sch fren) there. Quite surprised haha. But quite irritated with the ppl who kept squeezing & keep pushing me.... Arrgghhh... there was even some1 who pushed me till I nearly fell down. Talk bout being gentleman! Anyway I pushed his fren back cos I was too angry. Lol.

We saw the drunk Anthony dancing weirdly... on the stage... Haha. And there was this guy who was dancing ard me weirdly and the situation was as illustrated below:



My nose was on the same level as his armpit... And I suay suay can smell his strong BO... And he was really dancing with his arms open lydat!! Argghh... Then luckily kind Gord exchanged place with me. But it wasn't so bad for him cos @ least his nose wasn't @ the same level as the guy's armpit...

I think the guy was alone & he was moving ard to find a grp which he can join. Then he moved until he was behind Cai & I told Cai to be careful... When she turned ard, she could smell the strong BO cos her nose was also on the same as the guy's armpit. Disadvantage of being short...

Oh well... on to photos!!



The Durin gers back together again aft 6 mths!




The early birds



I realised Merv didn't appear in any of the photos in my camera. Haha. But there was a photographer who took a picture of us! Although I dunno who he works for (Zouk? NUSSU? Hooked?). Shall find the picture quick. Heh

I don't understand why is it always me?

Is it b'cos I'm the elder one @ home? Makes me responsible for so many things?

When the washing machine spoilt 2 mths ago, I've to go out & look for a suitable washing machine.

When the VCR spoilt 1 mth ago, my father insisted on repairing the spoilt VCR which we bought it for $100+ a few years ago & the repair fee is probaby half of the price of the VCR. I've convince him to buy a DVD recorder instead & I've to go out & look for a suitable one. Then I've to tune the channels on the DVD recorder. Next I've to conduct lesson to my father on how to use the DVD recorder when I myself dunno how to use it & I've to refer to the manual...

1 wk ago, the TV in my parent's room juz spoilt. Though this time round I don't have to go buy the TV with him (cos there was TVs on discount but the discount was only valid till Sun... & I wasn't free to go with him...). Today the TV juz arrived. I juz woke up @ 11.30am. When I was eating my brunch, my father told me to help tune the new TV if I've time today. He then gave me the manual. I told him to ask my sis to tune the TV cos I also need to read the manual to tune the TV. "Aiyah, she dunno how to one lah!"

They always assume that my sister dunno anything. Always asking me to read their letters (they can't read English)... do anything related to electronics... I mean there's always 1st time for everything rite? Since she dunno how to, shouldn't she learn? Ok sis, I'm not blaming u for wat happened, but next time they ask u to do sth, can u help? It's part and parcel to learning rite?

Haiyoh... anyway, going Zouk today cos NUS has free admission!! =D

Jeff Chang - Zuo Ni De Nan Ren
张信哲 - 做你的男人

东京 纽约 每个地点
带你去坐幸福的地下铁
散步 逛街 找电影院
累了我就帮你提高跟鞋

塞车 停电 哪怕下雪
每天都要和你过情人节
星光 音乐 一杯热咖啡
只想给你所有浪漫情节

让我
做你的男人 二十四个小时不睡觉
小心翼翼地保持这种热情不退烧
不管世界多纷扰 我们俩紧紧的拥抱
隐隐约约 我感觉有微笑 藏在你嘴角

做你的男人 二十四个小时不睡觉
让胆小的你在黑夜中也会有个依靠
就算有一天爱会变少人会变老
就算没告诉过你也知道
下辈子也要和你遇到



Finally after 2 years he's gonna have another new album. YAY!! Anyway I recorded this song from www.jeffcn.com. Super catchy & nice song. But it's too sweet for a Jeff's song. (Jiali agreed with me.) Haha. But I still luv it =)

My record-breaking bus-waiting time

I made a big decision on Sun to do sth different to my hair...

Before

Straight hair with some waves due to me tying up my hair cos of work...

After

Permed hair!

Jiali commented that I look like I'm being forced to smile. Haha. Anyway I'm starting to like my hair 1 day aft I permed it.

Went to watch fireworks with Candy, Jeremy, Lisheng & Zhao Yong. There was a lot of ppl @ Marina Square loh!! Any place with anything edible or drinkable has queues. Oh... I 4got the word LONG. The McDonalds had 2 L-shaped queues extending out from the outlet... 1st time I see ppl queueing up for Jolly Bean... (I even heard from LS & ZY that Giant had a long queue for cooked food)... We then decided to go Pacific Coffee to have snacks & coffee since it was quite empty.

Anyway, the good thing was later on, we found a spot along Esplanade Park with a smaller crowd to watch the fireworks, nice spot except for a crane blocking part of our view.

After that we were walking towards Esplanade when I heard my name. It was Steph & she said she heard my voice so she called out for me. -_-.... Then ZY commented that I've a unique voice 'cept that my sis sound abit like me. Oh well... my voice has to be loud for Steph to hear me also then. Haha. She called her fren using my phone cos her phone batt was dying soon but the reception was v bad though it was full bar. Think too many ppl were in that area...

Steph's frens found her while we were walking. The rest of us went Citilink Mall cos Jeremy was hungry. We ended up in Simply Thai, where the air-con was off cos it was after 10pm & the centralised air-con system will be automatically shut down.... And Jeremy ordered green curry!! He ate until he sweat so much, poor thing. Haha. We left the place @ ard 11 & the next unlucky thing happened to me...

I walked towards Suntec with Bingjia & Candy but decided to take a bus at the Convention Centre instead of near Shaw Tower cos my thighs hurt aft Mon's kickboxing lessons. I waited for bus 70 for 1 hr!! Sooo long.... If not for the long cab queue, I would have took a cab home liao... In the end I got on the last 70 @ 12.10am... The bus was full by the time it reached the bus stop near Shaw Towers. And it really shows that Singaporeans are so inconsiderate. As usual the back of the bus was quite empty as compared to the front... I mean... it's the last bus loh, can't the ppl try to move to the back of the bus?? Aiyoh... Anyway I reached home @ 12.40. Damn. Can't stand all the sweat & decided to wash my hair (not supposed to cos it's best to wash ur hair 48 hours aft u perm it). Haha

Anyway, I got lotsa photos to upload, shall do it tmr mayB...

Why Vava?

Sounds so act cute, but I wonder & ponder... Hehe...
