We Females Can Survive!

  • Nov. 24th, 2009 at 9:38 PM
This is one song that i enjoy dancing to so much in shanghai. :) I like how the quote describes it, especially the last part of course:

"The song narrates about a young woman who finds personal strength while recovering from a break-up. The song has become something of an anthem of female empowerment.." - theydeserveit.com

Oh jenny, & siqian. I miss all your swaying butts in the dark. hahahha.

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong
And I grew strong
I learned how to get along
So now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without the look upon your face
I should have changed my f-ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me

Are they all Same Same?

“When Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and others pray to their god, all of those individuals are actually praying to the same god, but simply using different names for that deity.”
—registered opinion of four of every ten American adults (Barna poll)


“The soul of religion is one, but it is encased in a multitude of forms.”


It's the time of the year and this question came to my mind. One of my uncles had commented something similar to the above statements and I find myself deep in thoughts, but I'm really thankful for this statement,

“Perhaps the greatest difference of all [among religious views] lies in the Christian assertion that none of us can save ourselves and make ourselves acceptable to God, try as we may: all the other faiths assert that by keeping their teachings a person will be saved, fulfilled or reborn.”

~ Dr. Michael Green
Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, England. Author of “But Don't All Religions Lead to God?,” Navigating the Multi-Faith Maze (Baker Book House, 2002).

which leads me to conclude:

Salvation is not attainable by mere human efforts. How nice it is to have someone go before us and point us to the truth. :)



Child's Play.Dress-up!

In my previous post, i mentioned that i should die. & maybe this is how i'll look like in heaven: @______@

okay, i had better not joke about celestial stuff. but anyway, this angel headband was borrowed from eu jin! the korean girl bought this along with a set of angel's wings as her outfit to our very first dress-up partay!!! .. it was really fun thing. Among the list of attendees, there were nacho libre.. who looks more like a ninja, retro getai queen, terrorist, rambo, flintstone, peter pan, angel, the joker, chef, cowboy, egg & bacon couple, kopitiam uncle or is it bruce lee? no idea yet, victorian princess & MICHAEL JACKSON. buahahahahahaha.  so sad. i was w/o a digital camera or else every photo will be up by now! so yea, i have to rely on my trusty SE phone for the pics below! 


 

Here's the wonder woman who took pains to organize the party (no, it's not a halloween party, it's a birthday party!) for her beloved bf & us (Elites) ! She was dressed as a greek goddess actually, but over here, she put on a victorian outfit! haha .. to make our friend's $60 of costume rental fees worth every buck.

Anyway, i think she's really a very sweet gf! :) She's really set the benchmark high. & it's pretty scary to witness this from a singleton's point of view. hhahaa.



This is my very nice tattoo for the night! drawn by elena.  & i seriously don't believe that she did poorly for her art! the spider & web looks pretty fab here!



& lastly.. this IS then actual outfit ! -- Gothic Ballerina! Okay, wait till my full-length photo is up beforre you can see my tutu! :)

 There's really a limit to how many things you can lose/spoil within a short period. 

I have yet to fully explore the wonders of my CANON IXUS 80 IS & it's now dead. just because i had to drop it when my brother's thigh accidentally knocked against it. less than a year since i got it, & it has to die like that. what an early death. i wish i was like you, champagne. 

even though it has died last month, i still can't bring myself to believe that it's no more. 
THIS HOLIDAY IT MEANS WORK FOR ME. im going to jump at any chance to work. work till i die & use my life to pay back for it. 

& now, to my horror, i found that my goggles is missing>??! but still , i insisted on swimming thoughI knew tt i wldn't be able to survive without it, & true enough, within less than 5 mins of entering the water, i had to get out. Fortunately, when i was about to leave, it started to rain, so it didn't make me look so bad. I can always attribute my early departure from the pool to the bad weather. it was kinda embarrassing to leave the pool so quickly....  :S 

& my grey tank top, blue cardigan are also missing from my wardrobe. someone please tell me what is happening! 
is there some ghost who ate them up! OH PLEASE> GIVE ME A BREAK FROM ALL THIS NONSENSE. LOSE things, spoil thing.s . why am i like that ! 

& I really HATE MYSELF. ANGELINE PLEASE GO & DIE DIE DIE. & VANISH from the FACE OF THIS EARTH!!!

讨厌 们。 对的,我不喜欢那些女孩。还是男生比较可爱可亲一点。 首次遇见到那么讨厌的女孩。

一直还以为女生们应该比较容忍,照顾同类的。真的是大错特错。。。

Owl City - Fire Flies 

 You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten-Million Fireflies
Lit Up the World
As I Fell Asleep

Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
Youd Think Me rude
But I Would Just Stand And Stare

Id Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That Id Rather Stay awake when Im Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems

Cause Id Get A thousand Hugs
From Ten-thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Try To Teach me How To Dance

A Fox Trot Above my Head
A Sock Hop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball is Just Hanging By a Thread

Id Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That Id Rather Stay awake when Im Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)

Leave My Door Open Just a Crack
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Cause I Feel Like Such an Insomniac
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Why Do I Tire of Counting Sheep
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
When I'm Far Too Tired To Fall Asleep

To Ten-Million Fireflies
I'm Weird cause I Hate Goodbyes
I Got Misty Eyes
as They Said Farewell
(Farewell)
But I'll Know Where Several Are
If My Dreams Get Real Bizarre
Cause Id Save a Few
And Id Keep Them In A Jar

Id Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That Id Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)

Id Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when Im Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)

I'd Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That Id Rather Stay awake when Im Asleep
Because My Dreams Are Bursting At The Seems


I'd Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly -
AMEN.

 bf was enthusiastically speaking to gf when he started to check for response: "hello, hello HELLO????" 

It turns out that the girl has fallen asleep due to the bf's rampant ramblings. 

HAHAHAHAA. I shouldn't have laughed. But you just deserve it. hoho. We shall see how long this lasts for you & her.. ;) .

 “The most beautiful clothes a woman can wear, are the arms of the man she loves. But, for those who haven’t had the chance of finding that happiness. I’m here.”
 
Actually the quote above was coined by Yves Saint Laurent, but in my terms, i think Coach should own it. ;)










Say Part-ay

  • Oct. 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 PM

Actually I shouldn't be so surprised cox I've been 'fore-warned' by one of my seniors that my prof likes to invite his students to st james as an outing.

But it's just not very cool to go with classmates... unless we've got out of school, then yes. Otherwise, leave it seriously. 







anyway, i went to attend a dance class yesterday at jitterbugs & had a good taste of how tiring it can be to learn from male instructors!
tt guy was super energetic! reminds me of my hyperactive tutee... :S. I remembered clearly that i had registered myself for Latin Jazz, but halfway through class, I really thought that I was in a high-impact aerobics class. 

The class is only $5! Only for students though ! Time to take advantage of my student life again. You know, we can only be students for like one-third of our life. & the other two thirds will be dedicated to work & cleaning up our baby's poo & baby-sitting the grand-children. 

Okay, hip-hop on Monday! hort park with eun jin. & yea, & ah chew desserts with pl hopefully. :) 

If you can't add years to your life, add life to your years. 


NS Re-defined.

  • Oct. 19th, 2009 at 2:51 AM
 haa. i just opened my msn. & there came pl's msg:

"I have to say this, NS is a form of slavery." 

hahha. actually he was answering the question on my display nick a few weeks ago: "Is NS a form of work, or service?"

dang. i shld have print screened because smu bro, u humour me. 

& next, my project which has sth to do with happiness. 


typcut.com

What exactly is happiness? Can it be defined? 

>> Happiness is what I choose it to be. I can be happy if I choose to be happy about little things. If I don't even make a choice to be happy about anything at all, I'll never be happy. 

My list of happy things are: 

to do silly things & have friends laugh together about it. 
to eat what i want to eat at that moment. 
colourful colours.
nice designs & things to own. sth like this: 


watch korean dramas & fall in love with the surgical-enhanced actors & actresses. :) makes me reminisce my childhood with  plastic Barbie dolls. 

share thoughts & deep-seated feelings with best of friends, with the full assurance that they're care.:) 
to swim like a fish. 
to dance like a monkey. 
to run like an ostrich. 
to bake like a scientist. 
.. 

the list is not exhaustive i think!

one of my proj mates mentioned tt he's happy whenever he gets to look at the one whom he likes. HAHA. okay, true la. but just looking won't get you any happy if you don't do anything about it! :) That's why I really think i should court boys soon. 
But after today;s sermon, (She will chase after her lovers and catch no one.)  I feel like no.. i had better not do things my way.
I will outsource to Marianne. 







不太喜欢你了。

  • Oct. 18th, 2009 at 8:34 PM
I may not be liking Charcoal anytime from now. Mainly because each time I switch it on, it means real work for me. :( 

projects PROjects PROJECTS // /// // 

& to everyone who shares my agony, let's sing to the tune of 三只老虎

I hate projects i hate projects. 
go away, go away 
don't you ever come near me, don't you ever come near me. 
stay away, stay away. 



New Love

  • Oct. 13th, 2009 at 11:02 PM
My new love ! I finally get to appreciate this slimy slab after so long! :) YAY. I love it so much now! I get my lovely dose of smooth slime at the Hokkaido Fish Market! :) recommended by grace. yums. 

And today, on my way to meeting David & Aziz at Wheelock, we pass by NewUrbanMale (i.e. they super gay-owned store which i vow to boycott) and was greeted by the words  'BOOMZ' stuck on their glass panels. & they even printed tees with this new lexicon (made famous by Ris Low).  They're just trying to put her down. Gays are always jealous of pretty ladies & will not hesitate to mock at them when the opportunity arises. Oh. Sour grapes. It further reinforces their reputation as a gay-owned enterprise. But dang, i fell in love with their sandals with pretty scarves. But i;ll get it, because I can make them earn 20% lesser with my Nus Matriculation card. HOHO.  

& oh, i got stuck in orchard Ion today for like nearly 30 mins before I found the MRT! . tomorrow im going down again to de-code the maze personally. ;p

Charcoal's Life Line

  • Sep. 25th, 2009 at 3:23 PM
 Charcoal suffered badly without a capable aide during its 3 months in shanghai! & when it returned, it was terribly upset to find out that it aide has gone cranky! 

The battery just couldn't be charged. Whenever it's charged to 100%, it returns back to 0% when you plug it back. 
So now, i'm glad to announce that charcoal's aide has revived! Thanks to Lenovo's capable team of technicians that makes this possible. Hooray. 

Bur. Champagne is not doing well. It is suffering from a crooked look. :(  I'm going to get Cotton come december.



Interviewing 123

  • Sep. 18th, 2009 at 1:44 AM
 So, we were tasked to handle a project that requires us to find out about people's emotions towards health & wellness. 
Health & wellness seems easy enough, but to make people talk about emotions & values that drive their attitudes towards h&w is really not easy.  I'm really glad that I get  to handle this project! 

Well, I interviewed 2 guys face to face - my bro & wj. It was quite a challenge because you know, guys find it hard to express themselves (with the exception of my brother, he talks excessively, hhaaaha), and getting them to talk about their emotions may be tedious in a way.  I have to suggest words for them. But yea, everything was good, I get to see why they participate in sports and all. How different they are from girls ! :)  

Especially wj, he mentioned that he wants to see himself improve from each exercise that he do. For e.g. adding more weights while training, clocking in lesser time when running & all! For me, I would rather choose to enjoy it & do it leisurely. It's so stressful to always check yourself. 

During the interviews, I think I wasn't professional enough , because I kept laughing at their responses, esp that of wj and my ma. :)  My ma's was the worst because I collasped to the floor while laughing at her serious look when answering. She really put in so much thought. M'ria also! :) I can tell from their facial expressions. I mocked at wj coz I kept trying to joke about his responses. Like: "oh, so you want to improve in fitness to attract more girls is it?" To that, he replied: "if you mention your sports timing, no one would be impressed what, unless the person knows something about it."

if you notice, he didn't even give me yes or no, he just zoom into elaborating about it. BUT in fact, i think he's saying that letting people know about your achievements in sports won't attract girls, unless they are aware of the benchmarks. But what if those girls know? Then he'll want to impress, right? Okay , I have to bug him about this. Then he always like to give very logical answers. I'm super super bored with his logic & the way he presents his answers in different scenarios  till I find it unbearable in a funny way. **To defend his logical answers, he didn't forget to throw in the fact that he once studied economics. -____-  

Anyway, I'm really so grateful for all your inputs!

 & yes, i'm off to do this interview analysis for now! COOLNESS. Sleeping no longer attracts me! :)

he looked totally frightened in this picture. hahhaHA. orh bi. 













Version 911.

  • Sep. 13th, 2009 at 12:10 PM
 i slept early at 10pm, woke up at 4.15 am so that i can compile the slides and go for my presentation which is due 5 hours later at 9am. so i was done wtih the slide at 7.33am. but i need to get out of the house at 8am. jas called to remind me to send the slides to  her and another of our group mates but i refused to. coz uploading the slides will delay the time even more! i wan t to get to sch on time so that i can print out my speech & rehearse during the class. 

so i conveniently saved it on my scandisk thumbdrive, believing at that point of time that this brand is reliable and trustworthy, w/o defect! and i unplugged my computer too, knowing that i have to bring to school and use it if neccessary. 

jas & i reached harbourfront at 8.41am. aborted the thought of taking the slow bus and opted for the taxi. GOOD. then we reached sch just on time! - 9am. $10.15  cab fare shared by both us. 

& then i hurriedly went to the computer lab, to prin t out my slides to rehearse of course!  but scandisk cant be detected by the comp. i was alr very frantic. so never mind, i went back to class, thinking that i can use my latop and open the slides from there. BUT NO. i found out tt i forgot to bring my laptop! but it's okay, i thought coz jasmine has. so i slot my thumbdrive into her comp. but again, it canNOT be detected. then we tried another person's laptop, same thing. 

now, the slides are only in my thumbdrive and my laptop. and both failed me. so my mind was a blank. & it doesnt help that jas was like super pissed off with me. i think i just felt  like 'how can it be', i 've done so much & this is what i expect at the last moment?'  so no choice i left sch and board a cab at 9.17am to head back home. on the way back, i felt so bad, it;s not tt im scared tt i cant get to present, but i was just unwillingly to accept this whole thing! i reached back home at 9.55am & i vomitted right outside my house. now, im confused if it's the cheesecake that i had that morning  that was casuing me this upset. :S 

actually on my way back on cab, i realise d tt i didn't bring my housekeys. i had left sch without my bag. but thkfully, i remb that my ma was not working on friday!  so i called in the cab to tell her to stay home & wait for me to help open the door. 

now, i managed to reach home to power on my laptop and send over my slides to jasmine. i was already pretty relieved. but wait, i had to get back to school again, coz my actual presentation will start at 11.30am the latest. but now, i refused to go back by cab, coz the initial cab fare damage was $16 bucks. den i took the mrt and bus. jas called to ask if i can get back on time coz it's rainning very heavily. if not, mq will help present my part, but i told her that most prob i can make it! i wldn't want anyone to present my part at all, i mean i have alr done up my slides! and it wont be fair to let another one take over, mq has his own part to settle too. so i reach the heng mui keng terrace bus stop at 11.28am just to be trapped in heavy rain. really heavy. then i approached a girl who has an umbrella, asking if she's able to shelter me over to business sch. but she has an experiment to rush,, at arts. so there goes my chance. 

when i was thinking tt all hope's gone, a bespectacled thin indian lady approached me. asking if i wld like to share cab with her. then another young lady (jiarui) came by to say that she can share with all of us too! so gr8, the 3 of us got on the cab. & i reached class at 11.34am where the prof was helping me to delay time. den he saw me coming in, and gave our group the green light to present. i was really frantic of course, i hadn't rehearse at all! 

anyway, that sums up my shitty day. i doubt anyone will ever have it worst than me.  it really weakens my heart alot. and yes, i was too last min, but all along, my last min had not result in anything as bad as this. rather, my last min stuffs all went pretty well. maybe it's time that i wake up and start to not be so last min anymore.  & i shld really have just sent the slides over through email, at least there's a security. i regretted not listening to jas's advice too. shitty me! but of coz, im thankful for angels along my way. 
>> my ma, the indian lady  who dropped me off on her to the institute of southeast asian studies and who refused to let us pay her ,my prof who helped delayed time, jas who helped to print my slides & bear with my shit & mq who was willing to help me present my slides if i cld not reach on time, & of coz m'ria love, who listened to me very patiently about my day & told me gently that i should have been less last min so that i can have buffer time for anything unexpected. 

thing is,  im really shitty but all the more so, my shittiness allowed me to see the angels in my life! :) so im still very happy about it. 

BUT  the next day saturday, i was real irritated.  i was supposed to attend a girls' brigade appreciation dinner at 6.30 pm. my day was already packed. from 11 to 5pm i have tuiiton to attend. but this parent miscommunicated with the children's aunt and the children and I were locked out of the house. so there was a delay of 30 minutes. the parent came can & sent me to their house to have tuition instead. & i eneded tuition at 530 pm.  on my way back home, i smsed this friend of mine, let's just call her S,  who was the one who persuaded all of us to attend it . i mean i wldn't have want to go if not for her and my clique of friends. the dinner costs $30 for alumni like us. of co z i think it's reasonable coz i think we subsidize the younger girls. 

okay , but S told me to msg another friend to ask for the address. i was kinda mad at her. i mean you're the one inviting us, and u dont even know about the address? the worst thing is no one ever sent us a confirmation letter about the dinner details at all. NOTHING. not even a simple sms. never mind. i though that she may have forgotten or is busy. but the last straw came when another friend of mine sms to say: "hey. normal guests reach at 6.30pm, don't be too late. =).".

so what do you all mean, anytime later than 6.30 pm arrival is  meant for VIPS, and more important pple is it? What is it that you women are trying to promote? LATENESS reserved only for VIP GUESTS? moreover, do they really think that i want to be late? i was delayed. 

in the end, i told another that oh no, normal guests are to reach at 6.30pm, abnormal guests reach later, so i dont want to go! coz i dont want to be in the league of the abnormal. 

this is all so shitty.
