It takes 2 hands to clap...this is so true..
Sometimes, I really feel like an idiot trying to maintain a conversation...(I'm not pointing finger at one person, cos A FEW people are like that...haha..so I mean..GENERALLY..)
One way to maintain a conversation: Keep asking the other party questions.
Then it turns out to become 我问，你答...and slowly I become a paparazzi...poking my nose into other people's lives...(while no one cares about mine...haha)
Another way to handle the situation: End the conversation...
Of course, the person would keep quiet in the first place, so, the person who needs to shut up, is me... :)
I know that some people are more introverted, so they are naturally quiet...that I don't blame them of course...
But sometimes, somehow I just feel that some people just can't be bothered...just can't be bothered to talk to me or what...or may even find that I'm irritating or being a bother cos I keep asking them questions? haha..(pardon me for my sensitivity...i admit that i am a sensitive person...)
Some are even better..they never talk to you..unless you go and talk to them or when they have something to ask u..well done..
Maybe they are very busy with whatever they are doing etc..oh come on, if you are so busy that you can't even TRY or BOTHER to just show some little simple concern to your friend, even just a simple HI and HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING etc, then please don't claim that you are my good friend or even close friend..
It's not that I wanna 'gei gao' how many times I say 'HI' to you and how many times you say 'HI' to me...but a simple gesture to show your friend that you care about this friend, or that you did not forget about this friend is not even made...it's really disappointing..
Ok, people may retort that "no common topics to talk about mah.." or "nothing much to say to u"...ok lor..haha...even though I don't really believe that it is the case la...but if people really think that way, I guess I have nothing to say too..

Heng ah....
I love you, you love me, we all really hate Barney, with a bang here bang there Barney on the floor, no more purple dinosaur...
This song is stuck in my head...and I CANT SING THIS to my nieces, they may just HATE me for life! LOL...ya they watch Barney everyday, and Hi-Five...
Oh wells, back to the main topic..
Got back my results at 1400 today...NUS is always like that..it's Christmas period for goodness sake!!!
But I can only say that they are kind enough, to let us enjoy Christmas Day itself before we go and D-I-E... wahaha...
I'm surprised by my results though..sorry 我是个胸无大志的女人 (both literally and figuratively..if you understand what I mean..LOL)
No As for me, as usual la..got A- I happy liao lor..but also don't have...haha..
But I'm glad I don't have B- or worse! So my results are basically Bs and B+...
Which is good enough for me cos this sem was quite screwed up.. Not only that I have no mood to study, I'm getting lazier (or more lazy?)... many things happened and my mood was terrible...first time crying in class, after being in uni for like 3 years..
Mood swings swing here and there as and when they like..
Happy means not-very-happy, and sad means very sad, troubled, frustrated, stressed, nervous, panicky, disappointed, worried...basically all kinds of negative emotions just spring up within a short span of 3-4 months...
HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, INCORRIGIBLE.....
And..YAY! All over liao! And I am satisfied with my results liao.. :)
Ok one more sem to go I know...hopefully I can better cope with my emotions, studies and time this time round...
But I can foresee more stress..as I'm going to take level 5000 modules meant for graduates...which means I have to go for night classes from 7-10pm some days and I have to sit in class and compete with masters and PhD students...OMG...
Whatever, bo bian, no choice, 没有别的选择...just try to do my best ba..
TEE GONG BO BI! HUAT AH! :D

接受你的公开道歉 :D
哈哈，听起来好像很严重哦。
Diane，我看到了你在你部落格上的公开道歉启事了，哈哈。你很可爱！
这位可爱的小姐在她的部落格上把我的名字写成“湘吉”了，但应该是“香吉”才对……
所以在被我纠正了以后，她觉得不好意思，因而发了一则道歉启事。就连 Caren 也纠正她，使她觉得这个小错误似乎引起了‘公愤’……哈哈，没有这么夸张吧？
另外，更有趣的是，她还分析了“湘吉”和“香吉”这两个名字……
她说：“"湘吉"感覺像是瓊瑤小說裡面可能出現的人物名字..而"香吉"就很像是古代傳統的大家閨秀的小姐或丫環的名字..很極端的對比hor? 哈哈哈...”
欸，小姐，请问一下，这是哪门子的道歉啊？:P 哈哈！
不过到挺有趣的，第一次‘听过’或是看过有人这样分析我的名字。还记得另外一次是吴耀宗老师在上“新马文学”课时忽然问我，我的名字有什么意义或意思。我说我不清楚。他就问我是不是我多上香就会更吉利…… -_-|||
如果我有在课室里吃饭的话，我肯定当场立刻在他面前喷饭……
还记得当时全班笑得很开心，我虽然是‘受害者’，但我自己也笑得很乐……哈哈
没想到我的手指竟然会引起你们那么多的同情和感激，我在这里郑重地替它感谢你们，感谢你们在自己的部落格上对它表示那么多的关心和感激……可见，它的壮烈牺牲是绝对值得的！:D
它还想让你们知道，水泡已经自动破了，皮也被它的主人拔掉了，现在还在康复中。:)
Diane，没想到平时放学和你一起回家竟然会让你有些感触…… :)
和你一起回家也是让我感到很开心的一件事。说真的，一个巴掌拍不响，要不是你也是一个很健谈的人的话，我想我们在回家的路上也不会那么有意思……
所以我也很感激，我们两个能够有机会在念大学的最后一年里认识，成为好朋友。
年纪越大，就越难交到知心的朋友，难得你是我认识的其中一个。
希望我们的友谊能够长存！:)
Meanwhile, take care and cya around soon for our next outing! :D
那个乌龟王八蛋、臭鸡蛋、死混蛋、糖醋鱼、章鱼烧 etc，他的手迟早会发霉臭掉烂掉的！他会得到报应的，所以你不要再生气了ok?

Caroling caroling through the rain....
Merry Christmas everyone! :D
Met up with Liping and Willy yesterday, gathering cum Christmas celebration...
Forgot to take pics with you guys.. :(
Thank you Willy for the present and treat! Nice meeting up with you and Liping! Thank you gal for the long chat too! I enjoyed it very much.. :)
And luckily we went to Dhoby Ghaut instead of Orchard...haha...but heard that many people met many people coincidentally @ Orchard/Somerset, like Jiechao saw Wheegeok, Irene saw Zhengxin..so happening and interesting..haha!
Caroling was officially over!!! I felt very grateful to those who came to help us, especially the current batch juniors who had just graduated...and a few others whom I have mentioned in the ajalumnichoir blog le...shall not repeat here.. :)
Without them we would be in deep shit..haha..not enough people plus not enough voices plus no conductor! I can't imagine that happening to us...heng we got Nadiah and Jing Kang who came to conduct us for the 4 days...thanks guys! :D
Some pics during and before/after caroling!
Liping and I...bo sia (no more voices) liao...sing till voice become screechy...yucks..
From left to right --> Jingkang, Qing wen and Gerald Paul Tan! Jingkang is our cute little junior cum conductor! And my SN pals, Gerald on the right is our History teacher Mrs Lily Tan's son! He told me that Mrs Tan saw my pic and told him that she taught me before! SO QIAO rite? OMG, she looks so young lor..没想到儿子已经长那么大了!我们真的老了啊! haha...更巧的是他还是我的JC cum choir junior..super super qiao...
Taken on the first day of caroling..everytime we'll sing till we perspire, machiam just ran for 3 rounds on the track lidat..haha..conductors were worst..especially Jing Kang..he will 'rain' everytime he conducts...same as Jiechao..wahaha!
Nadiah our conductor is on the right..with Sze Mun in the middle and the gal in turqoise top on the left...dear SN gang..she's Long Ziling's sister Zinuan! :D
I seem to have the affinity with people's sons or sisters etc..haha..
Us singing!
Jing Kang and Gerald Paul again! Do you think he looks like Mrs Tan?
Peiying Da Jie and I! She's our president and she has done MANY things for the choir..big and small..seriously, we can't survive without her...佩服她的冲劲和对合唱团的热情..
Liping and my les partner Wheegeok! They are both my close friends in choir cum fellow sops! Love them very much! :D
Huiting is my sop junior too, too bad she can only join us for the first 2 nights..a very cute and bubbly gal, missed her too...
On the second last day of performance!
Geok, I, Jiemin and Christina..an alto junior of ours.. :)
Us again..haha..this time Jiemin helping us take pic...
Py: TMD! Lao niang say 'two' who dare to say 'one'?!
Geok: Py 又再耍狠了，还是静静不要动比较好……
Me: Geok, 小心在你旁边的‘黄金手臂’……
Geok: take photo, must show some signs of joy..hee..yay...
Me: Cheh, your expression salah la..lidat where got happy?? Must smile from your heart.. like this: :D
The juniors are helping Jing Kang to wrap his sweets as Christmas presents..haha..
Loh Wei and Jiechao! The 2 intellectuals in our choir..always talking about finance and accounting and even...Lao Zi...(Jiechao is the one studying Laozi)..haha
Rare guest singers: medical doctor-to-be Shawn (in the middle) and phD doctor-to-be cum super sop Yanting! Plus Chee Guan at the side and 3 of them were caroling (with harmonisation) in chipmunk voice...厉害! Very cute! haha..
Us caroling! You can never spot me..cos I'm not even in the pic! wahaha..
Our 2 little cute sop juniors Meirong and Jiahui! She's the 4th Jiahui I knew already..LOL
Sorry to other Jiahuis..hee
Us on the 4th day! And the last day too... :(
At first I really felt tired to carol over and over again for 4 consecutive days. Imagine sing the same songs over and over again, at outdoors with cigarette smoke entering our nostrils and mouth and throat and then we sing...it really sucks..together with the sweat, and the worsening screeching voices we get over the days of singing..plus the high heel shoes hurting my bunion, making it red and swollen and painful..plus changing in and out of the costume plus putting on makeup everyday...
There are lots to complain, but I can overlook all these, all because of the joy and fun and love I get from the members..singing was actually fun too, bringing joy to the shoppers..especially when you see people stopping and listening to us, clapping for us, and even cheering for us...or even STALKING us! Yes we encountered a female stalker who listened to us twice on the same day and almost followed us back to our resting area..LOL..minus the disgusting smoke, the hot weather, the lousy sound system (but the uncles who helped us were nice and friendly)..etc..
It's really a great experience.. :)
三个字，很感动。
Singing rocks my life, but singing with the choir...rocks it even more..a lot more..haha..hopefully in the years ahead, we can still be as bonded and our passion for singing will never die...
YOU GUYS ROCK!
Cya on 28th at Loh Wei's house! :D
After that, 就后会有期了... :)
Some videos of us caroling..enjoy the carols! :D
Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer

Fun fun fun!
Ho ho ho! Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat...please put a penny in the old man's hat...
Have been caroling for 2 days and these carols are stuck in my head, together with Jay Chou's 彩虹..haha..a bit no link hor?
Met up with the SN gang yesterday for movie and Korean food..Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium...hmm..the show is ok but perhaps I'm too tired and I yawned a few times..and I was shocked when I saw my dear gf YY cried beside me! wahaha..I still think Alvin and the Chipmunks is nicer...haha...this show is ok but the ending is quite abrupt..we were like, "Huh? End liao ah?" And the Indian boy behind us (can tell from his accent) was saying, "finished already?" haha..
Oh and the Korean food is nice! It's at Chinatown. And we had a xmas present-exchange session!!!
Our gifts from each other to each other! haha...
Food!!!
We spent quite some time discussing what to do for our chalet at the end of the year..haha..so funny...seems so 痛苦 to even plan playing!haha...
Qiu, ailing, lia and June went to play mahjong, while yy and I left for our own appointments...so I went to North Point for the second caroling session!
The place was damn smoky and that makes our throats super dry! Nevermind..I've learnt the tactic of breathing through my nose fast while singing instead of through the mouth...so my throat won't get SO dry..hee...
Anyway, we've got good conductors! Nadiah and Jingkang aka kachua (cockroach)! haha..
The juniors were very supportive and they came to sing with us, I felt so glad! And they are definitely not the shy type who are afraid of seniors or siam from us..the first meeting and we all get high liao! Hope they will continue to sing with us.. :)
I will definitely miss them once caroling is over..
Caroling is definitely shag but singing with the choir is really enjoyable and satisfying..really love all my friends..
So happy that we are going to have a gathering soon!
BBQ with the choir, class outing with AJ 21/02 class, chalet with the SN gang, meet-ups with Libing and Keelee, gathering with the NUS Chinese people..etc...
How I wish the hols wont end so fast.......
舍不得舍不得舍不得...
Don't know what I will do without friends... :P
Presents and sweets that I had received on Thursday! From Ailing, Nadiah, Emelia, Zinuan, and a little pic of qiu, yy and I which is not inside..hee...thx gals! Love you all! :D
The stupid blister on my index finger..feels so tempting...maybe I should just get a needle and poke it soon...haha...忍无可忍了!

看偶像剧的心情转变
最近在看由杨丞琳、贺军翔和王传一主演的《换换爱》。我知道我很慢啦，很多人早就看完了。哈哈！
不过这部戏对我来说还真的挺好看的！
一个穷女生遇上两位有钱公子，在巧遇之后而展开的爱情故事虽然是有点老掉牙，但还是能让我穷追不舍……也许是这种偶像剧式的爱情故事很吸引我吧。
我承认，我一直都很向往这样‘好死’的爱情故事能发生在我身上，身为普通女生，谁不想啊？！我又不是超级无敌单身派主义者……哈哈！
“年轻”的我（也就是十几岁的我）边看会不自觉地边向往偶像剧式的爱情，哈哈！（我必须承认我并不是很成熟、独立自主的女生。）
可是咧，现在越看，越觉得可笑。偶像剧式，aka 梦幻式的爱情，根本不会发生在现实生活里，也因为如此，所以他们才要制作这样的片子吸引观众，不是吗？
在我一个朋友的部落格上面看到这样的quote:
‘It’s easy to have happy moments with someone,
but it is finding someone who would work out the not so happy moments that is the most crucial thing in a relationship.’
虽然没有经历过爱情，但是看到身边的朋友所经历的，我想，这句话应该很对。不是每个人都有危机意识，或是冷静处理危机的能力。处理不当，往往会给对方，甚至是双方带来很大的伤害……
当然偶像剧一定会发生一些问题，然后男女主角逐渐会有办法解决问题，之后又开开心心地在一起，可是现实生活中有多少爱情是顺利的？
看偶像剧的时候，再想到这些，就再也不会对爱情有什么憧憬了。哈哈。听起来有点悲观。可是我就是这样，看戏的时候可以联想到很多东西。:P 也许，一个人长大了想法真的可以变很多……
我的食指上的水泡越来越大！超想用针刺破它的！没关系，我忍！

BBQ time!
Had a great BBQ with the CL(aka Chinese Lang) gang yesterday...
I just realised I'm the only Chinese Studies major around...please correct me if I'm wrong...haha!
Caren organised the BBQ, and it was held at Pasir Ris park...
We arrived at 4 to wait for the BBQ wholesaler to bring us the food, and it was drizzling, so some of us sat under the shelter and chit chat...
And some other group of kids were playing music from their handphones, yes kids, I think we were the oldest group of YOUTHS there...wahaha!
EVERYONE was shocked to see my new hairstyle...and they all thought something happened to me..haha..
我失恋了!受了沉重的打击，所以我决定剪头发……但那已经是半年前的事了好不好……哈哈！
Nah, no special reason for wanting to cut hair...felt like cutting eons ago, just that I'm waiting for my perm to last longer..haha..extend its worth mah..haha!
Anyway, I started the fire! :D With the help of the only male --> Raymond and the girls of course..who were constantly looking at me working seriously to get the damn fire started, haha..and trying to help to fan, get starters etc..and of course, 苦口婆心地 warn me to be careful with my hands...
and stupid me really got burnt..by a harmless-looking black charcoal which I thought was a new piece (the tongs sucks so I would prefer to use my hands as much as possible). So I ended up with a sore index finger on my right hand...起了大水泡！
*sob sob*
Sorry for taking so long to start the fire people! :P
And thank you heaven for stopping the rain in time for all of us who were BBQ-ing there! :D
More pics
Caren and Raymond serious at work...eh..dun act serious lor..haha!
Look at the sizzling smoke!
The first fire we had was basically hot red amber..not much fire at all..but food was great, cos it wont 'chao-ta', (turned charcoal)..haha...(trying to find excuse for lousy and small fire...
I took super long to start the 2nd fire..but patience is rewarding...the fire was just nice..great for cooking satay! :D
Me and my burnt finger and charcoal-plated hands.. yay.. :)
Stingrays and sotongs! Yum!!
I just realised I'm the only Chinese Studies major around...please correct me if I'm wrong...haha!
Caren organised the BBQ, and it was held at Pasir Ris park...
We arrived at 4 to wait for the BBQ wholesaler to bring us the food, and it was drizzling, so some of us sat under the shelter and chit chat...
And some other group of kids were playing music from their handphones, yes kids, I think we were the oldest group of YOUTHS there...wahaha!
EVERYONE was shocked to see my new hairstyle...and they all thought something happened to me..haha..
我失恋了!受了沉重的打击，所以我决定剪头发……但那已经是半年前的事了好不好……哈哈！
Nah, no special reason for wanting to cut hair...felt like cutting eons ago, just that I'm waiting for my perm to last longer..haha..extend its worth mah..haha!
Anyway, I started the fire! :D With the help of the only male --> Raymond and the girls of course..who were constantly looking at me working seriously to get the damn fire started, haha..and trying to help to fan, get starters etc..and of course, 苦口婆心地 warn me to be careful with my hands...
and stupid me really got burnt..by a harmless-looking black charcoal which I thought was a new piece (the tongs sucks so I would prefer to use my hands as much as possible). So I ended up with a sore index finger on my right hand...起了大水泡！

After 4 years...
Before:
After:
I CUT MY HAIR!
Ok, I may look nicer with long hair..but I really felt quite refreshed and happy after cutting my long but super cui (cannot make it, damn dry and crispy) hair... :D
And, I felt more like myself..perhaps permed hair still doesn't suit me, too sophisticated and gentle..haha..I still prefer to be a tomboy.. :)
Haro Tanpoon has officially evolved! :D
Anyway, some pictures taken over the weekend..
Went to Little India to gai gai with my mummy on Friday...My FIRST time to Little India..Am I a Singaporean?!
Performance at SICC (Singapore Island Country Club) on Saturday night...
goodbye to my long hair...
End of the performance! :D

Busy gai-gai week
Wah, I didn't realised that I did not blog for a week...oops..
Was out since Saturday...almost every day...
I went for choir pracitce, went to Arab St, went to Chinatown Ten Dollar KTV, went to watch 3 movies, went to do a bit of shopping, and most importantly, met up with friends... :D
Let's talk about the movies..
《色·戒》was...slow...like me..haha..it's really like a 艺术片...the feel...hmm...knowing about the author, aka Eileen Chang Ai Ling, and the historical background and the relationship between Shanghai and Hong Kong during the Second World War period helped me to understand the show a little better, but most importantly, it made my imagination of the Old Shanghai became true! I've always imagined how Shanghai looked at that time, or rather, earlier in the 1930s during the modern Chinese Lit lessons..the pictures that the teachers showed us weren't enough. But through this show, I got the chance to look at a proper, operating 电车 (bus), and a cafeteria (although I wasn't sure if that was the kind that the authors then loved to go), and beautiful cheong sums worn by the actresses...Ok I think only Chinese people will understand what I mean..no fun wan...
Wang Lee Hom seems quite extra in the show actually, I feel, it's like, the male version of a 花瓶 (vase)...
Ya, talking about the ahem, sex scenes (Yes I went to watch the R21 version, and it's my 1st R21 show since I turned 21), they actually made me felt quite disgusted...I think the way they shot it, it's supposed to be 唯美, but I think because Tony Leong was supposed to be violent and a little psycho, they didn't turn out to be that 美 afterall...haha...ya, and it's meant to be not a good experience for the 'couple' in the show, cos of his psychopathic mindset...i.e., to torture the girl...And I really really admire the girl's (Tang Wei) guts to be the female lead...really...
Enchanted!
Nice and sweet show, and Nad and Peiying are right, the theme song just stays in your head...
-True Love's Kiss-
"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince I'm hoping comes with this
That's what brings everaftering so happy
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss
Usually girls like fairytales..I am a girl... :P
Alvin and the Chipmunks!
They are super cute! Especially the shortest and the fattest one, who's called Theodore! My favourite show out of the 3...Enchanted is nice but it is very typical..
At first I was still wondering what kinda story can the chipmunks have, and it turned out to be nice! I love their singing! Didn't know they are an accapella group...
"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me"...wahaha..in chipmunk voice ok..
Spongebob squarepants!
Ok, I'm talking nonsense here already, you gotta catch the show before you understand what I'm saying... :D
And I finally bought my black, closed-toe heels for choir performance! Hope they don't kill my legs... :S
And Jiahui, Bon Voyage! Have fun in US and Canada! Hope to see you in a month's time! Take care!
I wanna go overseas!!!!

To my dear friend tlp
Hey gal, this song is dedicated to you, if you ever come and read my blog.. :)
And to those friends who finds comfort in this song..
《让自己有快乐》by 陈毓芸
别再哭 把泪擦干
不要让自己再忧伤
听我说 你要勇敢
这世界不会停止转
人生不会常常如你所愿
总会有挫折
只要你能放开心中的灰
一切会更美
让自己有快乐
别让伤心将你围绕
生活有太多的苦恼 无处可逃
你一定要坚强面对才好
让自己有快乐
你的忧伤我都明了
如果你想找人分担 让我知道
我这有肩膀让你依靠
Cheer up friends, life is full of ups and downs, but these are what constitute life too, right? 经一事，长一智...Thanks to whatever we have faced, they make us grow up eventually..willingly or unwillingly.. :)

Random Rantings
Being stuck at home for 3 days without stepping out of my house, isn't really boring, cos I know how to self-entertain! I really know how to WASTE TIME..till now, I haven't even started watching 《换换爱》lor...I got the show just before the exams already..hiaks..
Being stuck at home for 3 days without stepping out of my house made me know how to differentiate The Powerpuff Girls! Now I finally know who is Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup..cos I watch it everyday! Every weekday from 12.30pm on Kids Central.. :D
And the episode I watched yesterday was damn hilarious..Blossom tried to speak Cantonese! "This is a boy"; "Char Siew Bao" etc...but I don't understand, they called it "conversational Chinese"..but it's actually Canto..I guess the Chinese there mostly speak Canto...but can we called a dialect "conversational Chinese"? （中文系学生的职业病，只要是跟中文有关的事情都要问个清楚，尤其是definition，这也是arts students的毛病...i.e, to define something properly.. :S)
I think maybe the Chinese Language majors can answer..Caren, please explain if you know..thanks..haha..
Oh anyway I was talking to a friend I made when I interned for Wanbao, she's from my batch, currently in NUS Biz Yr 4, and she's married! I mean, she ROMed this year! OMG..super kua zhang for me, to think I don't even have a bf before..strictly speaking..
Ya I know some girls my age who are not studying are already married with kids..so there's nothing much to 大惊小怪的...but still...cos we are still students mah, so I'm still a bit stunned la..haha..
I can foresee that I will receive letters from SDU next time after I graduate, but I guess I would rather remain single than to attend their functions..wahaha..
Oh, and does anyone know how much does an air ticket cost if I wanna travel from Taiwan to Shanghai? (via HK or elsewhere of course) :)
Planning for grad trip! I want to go Taiwan and Shanghai! (provided I haven't 倾家荡产..haha)

Events during the term..
Haha..couldn't think of a proper title for this post..usually I can't think of a proper one anyway...
I went to attend my cousin's 21st birthday party on Sat 24th Nov, AFTER MY FIRST PAPER...haha
And I stayed on at the chalet till Sun night..haha..
And I went to ARCADE and BOWLING too...played the stupid machine where you're supposed to insert a token strategically in order for the gadget to push the existing tokens inside the machine out so that you can get more tokens..understand what I mean? Sorry if you don't, cos my English sux..let alone describe.. (that's why in sec sch I prefer to do expository essays than descriptive or narrative essays, cos I can't write an essay beautifully, haha)
Ya anyway, the cute thing is, even my grandma was interested to try! She threw in a token and ONE token came out! That's fantastic for an 80+ yr-old woman already ok..haha
My grandma playing!
My baby niece! The youngest one..so hard to take pics with babies.. :S
Emelia's birthday on 12th November!
Some pics:
The birthday girl and her cakes and present!
Us! :)
And I saw this video on Facebook today...I feel painful and embarrassed for them..OUCH!
