Great Valentines' Day

Hee.... the title says it all lah.

I was being treated like a princess! No, I should say I am always being treated like a princess. Dear is simply too good to be true!

Ok, here's the photos as promised.

Hee... tired me with new hair and new dress.

Full view of the 'princess' dress!

Dear and I at Vivocity after watching a movie.

Whoopie! Finally did something to my hair!

Guess what did I do in the end?




~Guess lah~





~Scroll down somemore!!~



Heh... I did rebonding lah. Quite satisfied with the result for now. Hope that it last longer. Will post a photo after tomorrow lah hor.

Hee.... after that, went shopping with Dear. Bought a sweet pink dress to wear for tomorrow! Yeah!!! Super duper happy!

Honesty and fretting over hair

I am an honest person!

Bought a magazine at a newspaper stand in the morning before I go to school. Gave the Auntie a Ten-Dollar note to pay for a $2.50 magazine. By right, I should get back $7.50 right? But as I took the change given by the Auntie in my hand, I realized there were 4 pieces of Two-Dollar note, a dollar coin and one fifty-cent. Obviously, the Aunties had given me $2 extra! At that point of time, I was thinking to myself: 'Should I keep quiet about it?' But very quickly, I told myself that I should not do it. And below was my conversation with the Auntie.

Me: Auntie, you gave me $2 more.
Auntie: Oh! I'm so forgetful! You're such a nice lady, will tell me that I gave you more change.
Me: (Just smile)
Auntie: You're so nice! Let me wish you 新年发大财！
Me: (Smile again) 一样一样.
Auntie: If not ah, I will scold and scold behind your back. Haha....
Me: (--) !!


So, I'm really happy that I did not allow the greedy side to take over at that situation! Hee...
Anyway, I'm fretting over what I should do to my hair now. Should I do soft straightening or perming? Haiz... really worried over my hair condition sia.

The S-Eleven Terminology

S11, also known as money has become a burden in everyone's life. Everyone is dying to get it legally or illegitimately. Once you earn your first thousand, you started to spend your thousand and one.

When having supper last night, CK was, as usual complaining his depleting fortune, putting blame on HS for the cause of it. I was on my verge to scold him good and proper but given his strong arbitrary character, I hold back to avoid unhappiness. I was thinking, "Since you've chosen her as your partner? Why are you still complaining on her character? If she's such a spendthrift, then break up. She's born by her parents not you therefore you shouldn't be the one commanding her against her will (I mean COMMANDING, not commenting)." He's drawing a monthly NS allowance, which gave him a solid $700/-. He is still complaining he have not enough to spend.

I was talking to HS moments ago on MSN. The usual, telling me that she's low in cash now. She's worse, earning about $1440nett a month and also complaining.

I wonder if they have think of my situation? No income since ORD, which is like 6 months back and not complaining much. Though I have the support from darling occasionally but this is not being responsible. I'm working at 7-Eleven, 3 days a week from 11pm-7am but dad is objecting on it. He's telling me that the $100 that he gave me a month is sufficient if I spend it on my needs only, even can use it for savings at the end. How am I suppose to tell him that this is absolutely not enough? He was thinking that everyone could be like him, staying a home everyday after work with no leisure. CK and CJ share his thoughts.

I better be getting at least a 2nd Upper Honours Degree minimum, if not, even darling is going to look down on me.

Money - The rich says it is second, compared to their hobbies. The poor says without it, don't even think about hobbies.

I want to be the one having lots of it.

平和型（隨和豁達，樂天知命）

您通常是溫暖、友善、忍耐、隨和、不好競爭，以及愛說話。您偏好和平、有組織、可預期而舒服的生活。您喜歡配合環境，因而很難知道自己的優先次序，變成跟隨別人所希望而去做事，有時候甚至模仿別人說話的腔調、用詞，以及身體語言。

Felt bored and did this test. Muahahha... I must say that the part which says I'm not decisive and very lazy is very true!

Clcik here if you are interested.

The day of my Fieldwork

Yes, today's the big day! My Social Studies fieldwork is finally over! But not the report. Still have a 50 pages report to write sia!

Anyway, I am quite upset with my own performance. As usual I said the wrong things again. I actually said that the Malay New Year is Hari Raya! Oh my god.... I was so pai seh that I do not know how to react and face the class sia. Sure to be marked down lah. But as I console myself, whatever should not have been said have already been said. So no point dwelling on it le right? But I still do not feel good lah.

Other than that, my group has been quite blessed because the inital drizzle only lasted for like 2 minutes and my tutor who always act as the naughty kid, suddenly decided to be the soft-spoken kid today! Oh my god... She was practially not speaking when she was asked to answer questions. I have to act as if I am showing concern by asking if she is having a sore throat or what sia. But anyway, I'll rather have her as a quiet 'student' than a noisy 'student'. Hmmm.... hopefully she won't mark us down for not giving her sufficient attention and concern.

Though I am still quite worried for my individual work during the fieldwork, I am really satisfied with the overall teamwork and the turnout of the fieldwork!

Just pray that I will get reasonable grades! Awaiting for my tutor's more detailed feedback next Monday then!

Productive Day

No class today but had to wake up early to go Kampong Glam for our Social Studies fieldwork recee. I must say I am very satisfied with today's progress.

It was after many rejections from our tutor that we finally set things right. But I am so glad that we are so productive today! I am starting to like to work with a group of guys le! They can be so relaxed in the beginning but yet, know what had to be done.

I am really amazed and learnt alot from them. Yes, girls especially me should learn to relax when it comes to work. No point kan-cheonging.

For now, just help me pray that the 5th of Feb will be a cooling day. No rain please!

許瑋倫 1979-2007

在演藝圈有「音樂氣質才女」之稱的偶像藝人許瑋倫，前晚搭乘女助理駕駛的轎車南下趕往南投拍戲途中，在中山高速公路南下三義路段發生嚴重車禍。許瑋倫到院前呼吸微弱，人已休克，雙耳滲血。醫師表示，由於許瑋倫大量失血，輸血逾1萬西西，並因腦部受重擊，昏迷指數僅最低的3分，有生命危險，未來兩周是關鍵期。

First seen her in 偷偷愛上你, almost fall in love for her. She's angelic and talented. It's really sad to hear this news. Didn't even know it till I saw the headlines on the papers. She's a lost to everyone.

瑋倫, 一路好走..

NAG!!

I have been hearing nags from practically everyone. Neutrality, they are just showing concern to you and you can't blame them for the effort. But sometimes, it's good to nag once a while but definitely not everyday. Why can't life be simpler? It's all about economics; needs and wants. Greed is the nature of man and wants have always be > needs. Is there anyway to be efficient in walking this life path? Efficient - Using the least resource to achieve the highest results!

Exploited

I wonder if I am destined to be bullied by others.

People can get $30/hour for tuition whereas I only get a pathetic of $10/hour for tutoring my cousins.

I guess the money I get really does not justify the time that I spent. Its 6 hours each week leh!

But what can I do? They come to me because the tutors outside charge higher rates, which they are not prepared to pay. That, I can understand.

But, at least do not sound as if I charge them too high, unreasonable grandma.

I'm not so cheap labour ok!

Nervous

My Practicum supervisor called me on Wednesday and fixed a timing for me to go and see her so that she can brief me on the Practicum.

And so, I am supposed to meet her today (since it is already past midnight). She sounds like a nice lady and please help me pray that she really IS a nice lady!

I really need that luck to have a nice and helpful supervisor for my Practicum!

Dishonest Uncle

Bought a packet of wanton noodles back home for my dinner.

Gave the uncle $50.50 and since each packet is $2.50, I should get back a change of $48. But, I only got back $47.50 when the uncle gave me back the change. And mind you, out of the $47.50, $1.50 is shilling, meaning many 10 cents and 20cents.

The unlce thought that by giving me so much shilling, I will not check the amount. But how wrong was he!!

When I said, "Uncle, I gave you $50.50 leh", he immediately handed over the outstanding 50cents! And I really mean IMMEDIATELY. Its as if he prepared the 50cents way in advance!

Oh my god! He is such a cunning noodle-seller! Arghhh~

What's worst is that when I reached home and was about to eat the noodles, I found that the noodles are not fully cooked! There is a 'lump' which is uncooked! Really fuming sia. I swear I won't buy from that stall again!

Aftermath

Yup, I'm back from cruise but I'm not going to disclose any itinerary up there because I just felt that it's a mistake to go there. First, I spent all and not leave a single cent left on the profit of freelance for Hui. Terribly broke now. Second, in return I missed Mktg and Soce for the week though I make up for Mktg when I'm back. Third, getting reprimand by almost everyone including darling for making such a stupid decision, which is unlike me. Above all, I felt guilty especially in my school work. Like what Nageb says, why do you call yourself a student if you don't even behave like one? This "Ang Gong Kia" may be sarcastic at times but what he says is true. I did terribly badly for the previous IBM test and having the fact that lectures are almost finished and left with the horror of all students, EXAMS! This led me more depressed. Nonetheless, I started revising on IBM, since weekend. Planned to finish 1 chapter a day and make it a cycle till the day of exam so that it gets into my head. Fortunately, this makes me feel more revived.

Kenna cheated

The clinic which I went to in Tampines really cannot make it. Gave expired medication and still have the cheek to say though it has expired, they can still be consumed within 6 more months. If that is the case, why did they bother to have the expiry date there?!

Dear helped me went back to change the medication and another doctor on duty gave him eye-drop, which was different from the medication that was given to me initially! I went back there today to ask to see the doctor (the one whom I go to in the first place) and they still have the cheek to ask me to wait! I only want to see the doctor to ask why the other doctor gave me that eye-drop and whether it is suitable for my condition anot!

In short, I was fuming mad!

Missing You . . .

Dear is now on the cruise.



My semester commences starts tomorrow.



How I miss Dear.



How I wish the holiday is longer.



This will be a challenging semester ahead. The modules' schedule is really scary and my timetable really cannot make it.



Anyway, here is a picture of my cousin on her first day of school on last Wednesday. How I wish my mum had taken a photo of me on my first day of school. Hee.

Mahjong + Good company + Random thoughts

Back from JM's house after playing 6 hours of mahjong. Its really shiok! One of the must-do things on my list which must be accomplished every holiday.

I am so glad that Dear joined us too, because I'll be sad if he don't. I'm so elated that Dear can click so well with my friends. Its really a blessing. Hmm.... but I cannot say the same for myself. I'm an introvert in front of 'new people' and thus, need a longer time to warm up to them. The fact that Dear and his friends like to meet up at night 'depleted' the chance that I can join them because I'm not one who likes to be out at night. Yah, not an owl in short.

Anyway, it seems like I always have this problem every holiday. I feel lonely. Not that Dear did not accompany me but I still can't help but feel lonely at times, especially when the once-a-month-thingy is nearing. Its always at this particular period that I am extremely easily irritated and unreasonable. But I am glad that Dear is forever so forgiving.

I admit that I have a fiery temper and loses my temper easily. All along, Dear has been very accommodating and understanding. Maybe he should not pamper me that much hor. Hee...... But he _____ me too much le mah. Hee..... Think I should go read up a book on anger management. Its time I should change for the better.

To be frank, I have no idea why I typed the above. Just write whatever is coming to my mind.

Yah, that's all for now.

Arrival of Miss Prerogative

Wah how cool! I am able to blog here!

Hee.... The thought of sharing a blog have been going on for eons and finally, it's realized now.

I must say that its quite weird but no worries, I'll try my best to blog some interesting things; that is after my semester commences because how can a person who is cooped up at home have anything interesting to write?

So, for the time being, do be patient. :P

Happy 2007!

Happy New Year! New year with new resolutions. Mine, of course getting first-class honours in my degree is the priority. Everyone including myself to stay healthy always.

On the last day of 2006, I was a part-time painter for Darling's house. A new coat of pink is needed in her princess room. Caught DeathNote2 at 5pm and indeed it's complicated yet good show! At least better than the Chow Yun Fatt show.. Complete waste of $. I had dinner with buddies at cafe cartel but due to the injuries that shan had, we decided not to go anywhere far except Tanjong Rhu aka Kallang Waterfront. TP were earlier then us to stop anyone from hogging the roadsides. Guess due to the rich complaining, they are fast this year. Anyway, we paid up $5 for some night like robbery grassland carpark. Got ourselves first class seats and enjoy the fireworks. Not crowded but a handful was around. Most were not happening, only a group of brunette and bimbos were there holding champanes yelling their joys! Fireworks never seems to bored the urbans. I have told you mine,

Where were you on the last day of 2006 then?

Lazy!

One shouldn't be lazy.  Just a second of lazyness made me missed 2 planned things.  Intended to fetch mum to sell her stuff at 9am and after that fetch darling together for breakfast but look at the time now, I just woke up.  The result of me not charging my phone last night.  Lazy!

Phew~ Finally I'm back from HKG. Well, it isn't as bad as what I though it might be or maybe I lucky not to see the dark side. I was told that HKGers are not fond of CheeNas from China, thought it might be the result of colonization but the fact that I saw these CheeNas, behaving like it is their right of way in doing everything made me change my attitude towards them also. Embarrassing them, pushing them back may not be the most civilized way of handling them but this may be their culture, and this is MINE!

Neo, Wei and me are quite lucky to visit Hong Kong Disney Land for their opening for Christmas season. Bringing a camera there is a must as it's just taking pictures with the characters in the dreamland. Finishes off with spectacular fireworks and man-made snow, all covered with appealing music.
