不知所措

天空无边无际辽阔
小鸟展翅飞翔掠过
小时无忧无虑的我,好快活

天真烂漫没有烦过
时间一分一秒地过
身边的人都爱着我,不寂寞
但为何长大后世界都变了
常常在挣扎中熬过
沙漠中的绿洲通常只是海市蜃楼

很多事常叫人不知所措
即使做好了也没把握
是不是我想太多
有时候尽力未必有结果
做人要学习一笑而过
乌云会随风吹过

Eventful Friday evening but sian Saturday...

Friday evening: Met up with Joyce to NYP's Open House to fetch KL. We were stopped by 2 students at the school 'gate' and one of them asked, "Have you all taken your 'O' levels?" I was stunned and started laughing while Joyce replied a yes. Upon receiving a 'Visitor' sticker from him we continued on, and Joyce smiled and said, "I wanted to say we have taken our 'A' levels as well..." We laughed it off and continued walking...

We went Wheelock Place's F & C for dinner and Bing joined us...the cream of mushroom soup was great! Fragrant, chunky mushrooms filled our mouths, together with fried Calamari. The calamari was rather salty though. Fish and chips proved too filling for us...buay tahan...damn full...

It was drizzling and Ms KL didn't want to walk in the rain initially..we 'sort of' ignored her and walked on, haha...she had no choice but to oblige..well...it wasn't that bad la...it's not even drizzle actually...hee

We went Far East to kk and Bing and I bought clothes! She bought a pair of jeans and I bought my 1st mini shirt ever! Oh man...I find it damn short but of course, there are even shorter skirts...but for my 'Carrot thighs' not to show up too much, I have to limit myself...no more shorter skirts or shorts..haha! I am weird...I feel that I have thick legs and I still buy a mini skirt...am I outta my mind or something? Haha...that's a girl for you...vain mah...but I don't think I will wear it very often la...to think that I am one who feels a little uncomfortable wearing skirts..haha...contradicting...

Saturday: Went for choir prac at AMKCC as usual..haiz...the no. of people turning up are reducing every week...hope it's not going to continue like that...but...hard to say...

Such things can't be imposed on others. If they are willing to go, they will turn up. There's nothing we can do about it, especially when we have already graduated from JC...not kids...and we are not a school or some big organisation or society...

It's a boring weekend...went home on Saturday early...so should try to catch up with my readings...received a sms from my big brother...asking me to sing K...ask me to ask my frens...I seriously don't know who to ask...cos it's going to last till past midnight, and I'm afraid that my frens will feel weird...haha...haven't try asking and I have so many doubts...
In the end I tried asking Jaslyn, she doesn't mind joining us but she had promised to turn up for another session with her frens...so...too bad...she's the organiser somemore...all the more she can't pangseh them...

So ended up my brother decided not to go...my hopes were raised, and then POM! Dropped from the 6th floor of Woodlands Blk 5xx to the hard, cold, concrete ground...but it's ok...there's Wu Zongxian and his stupid jokes, and of course, the 100+ pg readings..that I doubt I can ever finish...

Argh! Most sian weekend ever...and after this weekend, a dreadful week of lectures and tutorials are back again...sian ah! Can't focus on my studies! How??? =S

Back to the fun on Friday night....
All 4 of us squeezed into the pic!I set the camera before 'running' into the pic! Haro Tanpoon rocks! If we ever have the chance to form our girl band...haha...

2 crazy gals with crazy acts...eating flowers?! using stem to dig nose?!

Kee Lee! Another chio bu of our group...hee..a radiation-therapist-to-be...going to graduate this sem le...Jia you gal!

Ah Bing the chio bu...similar character as I am...but still different of course, hee...Cos I'm a soprano and she's an alto! The only alto among the 4 of us too! Cool...haha...go KTV all the low parts can pass to her...haha...

Joyce is back in Singapore! Alright la, I shall admit in my blog that I missed you la...happy? Haha...but really missed the times we talk rubbish and laugh at our own stupid jokes, and singing (Together with KL and Bing of course)!! Now you're back, must try to go K with you as often as possible (while I try to struggle with tons of readings and upcoming projects...). Ha!

Boring life...

My day is boring. My days in school are boring. In fact, my life is boring....

So boring that I dunno what to write for this blog...

Life nowadays are just: go school attend lessons and tutorials, listen to classmates debate while I continue to brain-freeze and keep quiet...copy notes, photocopy notes, eat lunch, talk cock with friends, and then go home...
After I reach home, I on my computer and watch vcd or watch 花样少年少女 or just talk cock with friends online again...check mails, log on to IVLE and print notes, try to crack my brain to think of some 'intellectual' comments to post on the philosophy module blog. If not I would watch tv, Project Superstar, 金枝欲孽, 萤火虫的梦, all these are my daily necessities.
Other than that, my nieces keep bothering me, asking me for sweets or jelly (do I look like I a Econ Minimart Auntie???), if not I have to help look after them while the other adults gotta be busy doing some chores...Argh! Kids...they can be so cute yet soooo irritating...Imagine a little girl whining at you for the whole day...see if you can stand it or not...

But sometimes, they can be sooo cute...one single action or a smile from them and your heart will just melt... =D

闲着没事干

很闷啊!头发还湿,所以不能睡,偏偏我又懒得用吹风机把头发吹干,所以闲着没事做,就博一博咯。(博=blog)
最近一直在《宫,我的野蛮王妃》。天啊,她哪一点野蛮了啊?没逻辑,瞎!哈哈,不知道这么用‘瞎’对不对。=P 我还剩2集,最后2集还没看,很想继续追,但是我毕竟还是要先考虑到明天必须在8点之前起床,所以我一定要理智地控制自己,睡眠比较重要!哈!
最近一直在看和皇宫或者与皇族有关的戏,无论是什么国家、什么时代都好,似乎都离不开这个主题,更奇怪的是,它们之间的共同点都是以蛮悲惨的形式来呈现的。除了《宫》,还有《金枝欲孽》和电影《Pan's Labyrinth》。故事的内容我就不多说了,反正都是围绕着公主、皇族或皇宫之类的主体打转,看得我最近的情绪都似乎有点受到了影响,心情不是太好。不是跟着主角哭,就是骂他们笨,但是到头来最笨的还是我,哈哈,让自己的情绪被剧情掌控,所以我是个不能看恐怖片的人,而喜剧最能使我开心!

明天照样有choir,所以我不能太迟睡,已经没什么声音了,再迟睡就‘吃力’啊。
因此本姑娘这就去就寝,与周公在梦中相会,在此告辞!

Random thoughts

Life and death are just so unpredictable...
On Thursday night, my friend called me and told me that a Professor who had taught us last semester just passed away on Tuesday. I was so shocked upon hearing it..I used to see him every week for lecture during last sem and now he is gone, away from this world...
It is really saddening to hear such news, and these days more and more people died during sleep.
Then yesterday, outside AMK Mac, an elderly passed away on the spot (hopefully it's a peaceful death). We hear news about people dying everyday, till it seems so common that we don't seem to feel for it unless it happens to people around us. That's why people keep saying..life is short and unpredictable, we should try to live life fully, and stay as happy as we can, and we should not bear grudges and 计较那么多...it's really good if everyone can think like this, but usually it's not the case...

我想做人还是随便一点比较好,计较那么多,到最后人不在了,还能带走什么?

School has started...

School has started and it's the 3rd day of the week. I've only attended school for the 2nd day though! haha! Cos this semester Iwould most probably have a 3-day timetable. Hee..

Modules I'm taking this semester:
CH3242 Selected Topics in Chinese History II 中国经济史 (More like History of Ancient China Economy) =)
CH3226 Modern Chinese Literature 中国现代文学
CH2228 Ci Lyric in the Tang-Song Period 唐宋词
PH2205 Classical Confuscianism and Daoism
GEK1519 Science of Music

My first thought which popped up in my mind when I attended the first Chinese lectures this semester was: "Die, this time round the best result I can get should be a B- liao..."
These few modules really seems very difficult..and lots of readings to do again! Although I should be used to it..and I can never finish reading them also...oops... =P

Hope I can cope and maintain my CAP at least! Don't think I can raise my CAP this time, can maintain I 谢天谢地了。wahaha...

Anyway, today I just attended my first Philo lesson, the Confucianism and Daoism wan...didn't know got so many Caucasians taking this module! Quite weird, first time taking a module with so many foreigners...Quite worried about my stuttering English...think during tutorials they are going to 'huh???' when I speak..haha..
The funny thing is I met this ex-classmate from last semester in this lecture. I've never spoken to him before at all, we just knew each other's existence (pls dun start to 'Oh oh oh' ah...it's not something really good..haha!). After class I was supposed to eat lunch with my friend. While we were outside of the classroom deciding what to eat, he creeped behind us and 'tried' to join in our conversation. We were quite stunned as he just joined in naturally as if we knew him many years back. Then, my friend said he wanted to go to the toilet, I also said I need the toilet, so we started walking. We walked faster and faster and he was still creeping behind us!! We thought our actions were obvious enough liao leh... (We seemed very mean by doing this, but seriously, if he just asked: "Can I join you guys for lunch?", we probably will agree to it...because I barely spoke to him, the first time we've spoken was today! And my friend don't know him completely...)
Ok, so end up we decided to go toilet...obviously he followed my friend into the male toilet, and he saw me entering the female toilet....Then, a thought striked me...
I was still queuing up, so the guys would definitely be faster than me, so it suddenly dawned on me that there was another toilet downstairs, so before they came out I quickly rushed downstairs...after that I smsed my friend, hoping that he could find his way to shake that weirdo off...
Luckily my friend told him that he suddenly remembered that he has to print lecture notes, which stunned that guy, and left hurriedly. After which we met up somewhere else before we proceed to lunch safely...haha! 有惊无险! But...still got about 11 lectures more, how to survive?!?! So...wish me luck... haha..

End of story... =P

Chalet from 26 - 29 Dec (Part Two)

Angel! Liping's beloved doggie! She slept with us during the first night, and at first I kept worrying that she might just jump onto me and scratch or bite my face, ha! Soon after I got used to her, and she got used to us too! Oh ya..while I was half asleep, I thought her panting sounds like a person brushing teeth...even the gals agree too! haha..

Yiing Yng and June...趁我冲凉的时候偷偷自拍啊?!hahaha!

Haha..knitting at the chalet?! It's true! Nothing much to do so we have a knitting class, thought by our dear Shifu, Liping!! =P

Our food ration for the 4 days..cannot finish in the end..notice the 2 bottles of Vodka? Haha...drinking session!! But I am a super lousy drinker...drink a bit and felt unsteady already...haha!

Escape!

After a whole day at Escape...it rained twice on that day...but we were considered very lucky..still managed to try most or rather all of the rides available..hee..
We took the 'Rainbow' Ride like twice, and the Pirate Ship for at least 3 or 4 times..always aiming for the last row on either ends..haha...those who were behind us and wanted the last row seats, too bad! haha!

Chalet from 26 - 29 Dec (Part One)

We went for the chalet and I stayed for 3 days 4 nights..haha...sounds weird but it's because I went over on Tuesday night and checked out of the chalet on Friday morning..haha...
Can't post other pics again due to some problem with Blogger...so a preview of what we did on Wednesday...

Happy New Year folks!

新年快乐,万事如意,心想事成! 呃,不好意思,今天不是华人的农历新年,哎呀,不过也一样啦,新年新希望,来来去去不就是这些吉利话吗?

嘿嘿。2007年这么快就来临了,小时候还很期待新年快点到来,没想到越打越希望时间能放慢脚步。感觉上时间好像越走越快,时间越来越不够用啊。
新年除夕我是一整天都窝在家里,懒得出门。上了整半天的网,都没什么机会和朋友在MSN聊天,大家不是出去倒数,就是到朋友家去打麻将,忙的咧,谁还会有闲空理我这个空闲人啊?哈哈!不过今天就不同了,因为今天是Shuh Li 的生日!! Happy 21st Birthday gal!! But I don't think you will wanna read my blog...so many Chinese characters...sure make you sleepy! haha...

我本来以为在新年的第一天,也许我该写一些新年愿望还是什么的,不过我左思右想,愿望实在是太多了,所以干脆就别说了,反正我本来就没有去思考什么New Year resolutions 的习惯。哈哈!

不如就提一提一个在最近发生的较难忘的回忆吧!星期六是个好玩且难忘的一天!那天真得让我感到很开心,虽然七早八早就得起床去choir meeting,但是之后的一整天都是很开心的!我们虽然只是很普通地一大班人去吃饭、吃甜品,但是这一班人实在是好玩!我们最多也只是非常吵闹,把店里的桌椅排到乱了形,然后再把所有的顾客吓走而已啦。反正我们也给他们赚了不少钱。哈哈! 当然事后我们还是会负责任的,把桌椅再整齐地排好,才敢拍屁股走人嘛!嘻嘻!
之后就去meet我在NYJC 1st 3 months 认识的同学,虽然人数锐减至6个!但还是很好玩啦。我们去木船民歌餐厅听歌、吃饭、聊天、还有唱歌!
唱歌这一环是被我那群朋友逼的。他们硬是要我上台唱首歌。更丢脸的是,我的朋友竟在点歌单上写:My friend would like to sing a song....天啊!管我什么事啊?!It should be the other way round right? 我没说我想唱啊!冤枉啊大人!!!
我认识键盘手,她是厉害的咯!如果没记错的话,在我大一参加由歌谣主办的歌唱比赛时,她就是其中的一个主办人。我唱了一首没什么高音的《祝我生日快乐》,一来没什么高音,出错的机会较少,二来我的朋友早就点了这首歌,但不知为什么他们不要唱。Phew! 有惊无险地唱完了!我不太害怕是因为当时整间餐厅只有2桌客人!(包括我们!)而且从头到尾我都是盯着歌词,好像在唱KTV一样。如果说害怕,我反而担心自己走音,或是跟不上钢琴的节奏,我还是走音了!在最后的副歌部分换key的时候,我不清楚该唱那一段,所以有点走调。哈哈。好丢脸哦!

不过至少我终于有机会到民歌餐厅去了!还蛮好玩的,而且歌手们的声音也很不错。
有机会我们一起去ok! 收费一人大概要$15以上,是贵了一点,但去体验一下也不错!

新年快乐!
