毕业咯!NUS Commencement 2008

我毕业了!

4年就这样过了,可见时间真得过得很快。在这4年里,除了上课、赶作业、作报告之外,我还认识了许多好朋友、老师、同事(因为期间有打假期工),甚至是男友,嘻嘻。这些点点滴滴的回忆都将成为陈香吉生命中的珍贵记忆,所以毕了业之后,除了带走文凭,我也会把这些美好的回忆给带走…… :)

谢谢大家对小妹陈香吉这段珍贵的记忆“做出贡献”。哈哈!我爱你们!:D

一些在毕业典礼后所拍的照片:



A pic with my beloved parents. :D




With Dr Ong who helped me with my ISM...as I have mentioned before, he's a super duper nice teacher!




With Dr Liang, who has helped me tremendously for my ISM too. It is my great honour to know him and got his help for my paper.




I like this pic. :)



This is a photo not to be missed...allow me to be a bit BHB...uh hum...六大美女 at THE CHINESE DEPT of NUS!!! :D




And 1, uh hum..*throat feels a bit stuck suddenly * 美女 at the Chinese Dept... hee..





And 2 pretty gals here! :D

Many people didn't turned up for my convocation because...because i didn't inform anyone except my parents and bf (but he's working so he can't make it)...HOW BLUR CAN I GET?!?!?!?! I'm so sorry!!!! :P

The moment I got home I got a "scolding" from my eldest brother...he always wanted to shoot the moment I receive the scroll from the Chancellor...and I smashed his..erm...dreams? But this goes to show that my brother is proud of me...hee... :P

1 more month to the end of my training...need to buy a cabin bag and luggage, and probably some winter clothing or what cos I'm going to a cold Adelaide...hmm...I'll continue to be broke even when my next pay comes... :S

Welcome back home Joyce and Joycelyn!!

Recently 2 of my friends - Joycelyn and Joyce - came back from Australia and China respectively. Welcome back to Singapore girls! :D

Now I'm at the 3rd part of my course liao..learning emergency and safety stuff...

Remember people, whenever you take a plane, please try to wear LONG pants or skirts (for females of course)! You never know when emergencies will come (CHOI!), but if you ever need to use the slide, it's better to cover your legs and hands...they can burn your limbs for goodness sake... :S

Anyway, the course is fun yet boring...many many things to learn and remember, like the equipments and commands and procdures etc...but practical parts are quite fun...I shall not elaborate anymore... :)

Finally went to join AJ Alumni Choir last week! And congrats to Chee Guan (President), Whee Geok (Vice President), Guo Wei (Marketing), Zheng Kai (Secretary) and Mei Rong (Treasurer)!!! Jiayou guys! Keep the choir active and please try to get the juniors to join! I'll miss you guys though... :(

I'll be going to Adelaide on 30th July @ 2345, coming back the next day evening...for my very very first flight...ALONE...good and bad...other gals got company but I'm alone...nvm...I shall to pray hard that I get to meet good people onboard... :)

Then 3rd August @ 0805 I'll be heading to Shanghai, and coming back on the 4th... :)
Not much time to walk around though..sianz...but I know I'll have plenty of chances... :)

JIAYOU!! :D

Bo Liao Stuff

Ya, as the title suggests, this post is about BO LIAO STUFF, so if you are not BO LIAO now, then better don't read... LOL

Some bo liao stuff discovered, seen, noticed, found during bo liao moments, especially during studying.. hehe..

1) Went to 某S Sushi at Park Mall on 30th April (Wednesday) with Lia and YY for supper buffet...hehe...
Had lots of food and laughter throughout the meal...laughing at each other, esp my dear gf YY...LOL..so bad, bf LAUGH at gf all the while with another fren...wahaha!
We ordered the fried vegetables and were wondering how come our order had not appeared on our table after half an hour...so we were kinda pek cek, and wanted to call for service using their computerised ordering system...
And this is what we saw:



See the Call for HELP??? The next moment 3 of us laughed and said: "HELP! HELP!救命啊!" .......

Idiotic...

LOL

2) Went to hand in our VERY LAST ASSIGNMENT IN NUS...训诂学作业3...
So I "copied" Irene (not exactly la, kinda lazy to stop and take pics) and tried to re-enact the scene of walking to Chinese department and hand in my homework...




At AS7 Level 3, Chinese Department. Just take the stairs next to level 2's computer cluster to level 3, and you'll see this long corridor of our profs' offices...




After walking past the corridor, you'll see blue sofas, turn left, and you'll see the Chinese Department office and these mail boxes...



Look for the "desired" (*puke*) mailbox and THROW your work in..



Met dearie Tannie yesterday at Orchard and we had a very nice and long girls' chat. Haven't seen her for more than a year...I've known her since 6years old...17 years liao...OMG...真的是“青梅竹马”的咯!
祝你幸福 dear! :D

Ok that's all...nothing much liao...haha..

Still gotta go back NUS and collect the 训诂学作业...S***...LOL

Taiwan tomorrow! Can't wait!!! :P

Happening post exam activities!

Hey hey, exams are over, and I've been going out every day! *shag*



Went back to NUS ytd, the next day after my exam...GO BACK SCH FOR WAT???!!! It should be the last place one should go back once exams end!!!
But bo bian, cos need to try our Academic Dress! Aka grad gown...hehe...cos we're gonna grad!!

Ms Wanwen aka innocent gal joined us for lunch in school. :P Ate Yong Tau Foo laksa at Arts Canteen, and drank the milk coffee there, all in all only $3.10, cheap but I was feeling full and satisfied.. :P SHIOK!

We even did a good deed, found a handphone and returned it to the security at Admin Blk, so happening, the owner even smsed me to thank us...LOL...

We went to Vivo to shop, 5缺1 lor..Ms Caren did not come, Caren, I bet everyone is telling you to photoshop urself in, so 你自己看着办 ok? wahaha...I can't be mean to her, she's gonna 同居 with me in Taiwan, for 11 nights! :P 不想在台湾的酒店扮演“家庭暴力”...LOL!

After that, rest a few days, should start training liao..but..after I've mailed the contract to them, the email they're supposed to send me regarding some details is not here yet..weird..have they forgotten about me again? But, somehow, if they really forgot, I won't 追究了..what for..

Maybe, it's fated that I won't be an air stewardess in the end...wahaha..after all the trouble..

Then, find a normal office job in Singapore lor!!! :D

Let's see what fate brings me to..

Last assignment ever in NUS submitted!!!

Finally submitted the VERY LAST assignment that I had done in NUS..

Relieved? Relaxed? Happy? Hmm..relaxed, yes, but not exactly relieved or happy...more of...NUMB...

Probably like what Kailin had said, we have been rushing assignments for the past month or so..one after another...so, everytime after handing in one paper, we still have the next one to do...and so the gan cheong feeling continues to stay..probably because we still have one more exam...also ONE LAST EXAM to be taken in NUS le...haha..

Graduating very soon, going to work very soon..time flies..
From primary school to secondary school to JC to university...our life is so standard, ya standard is the word...
So standard and protected...
...

And next we're going to face REALITY, perhaps all the while in school, we've been living in a dream..as i said, we're so protected and sheltered..such that, whenever we face difficulties, there always seemed to be someone there for us to lean on..parents, siblings, friends, teachers, etc...the list goes on...
But working life...who exactly can we lean on when we face difficulties at work? perhaps u may think that im overly worried here..well, i'm not worried (yet), juz perhaps, skeptical..because u dunno who u can trust when u're out dere...hmm...
But, I'll still do my best to help others when ppl need help, I may not be able to trust ppl much, but i want to be trusted...at least be sincere towards ppl...others dun do it, but that doesn't mean i sldn't do it...right?

Hopefully, I can still believe that by treating others with sincerity, ppl will treat me with sincerity too..after I stepped out to work..unless their conscience have been eaten up, then I have nothing to say..haha..

Oh well, 一切要经历过才知道咯!

《身骑白马》——徐佳莹

听了会让人想哭的一首歌

《身骑白马》
我愛誰 跨不過 從來也不覺得錯
自以為 抓著痛 總能修成愛的果
偏執相信著 受詛咒的水晶球
阻擋可能心動的理由

而你卻 靠近了 逼我們視線交錯
原地不動 或向前走 突然在意這分鐘
眼前荒沙瀰漫了等候
耳邊傳來孱弱的呼救
追趕要我愛的不保留

我身騎白馬 走三關
我改換素衣 過中原
放下西涼沒人管
我一心只想王寶釧 (摘自福建歌仔戏)

>>薛平貴和王寶釧的愛情故事



A competitor in 超级星光帮 composed and sang this song...nice...
I wanna learn how to sing it! Joyce, come back and we sing together! :D

21 year-old birthday party @ ..... McDonald's King Albert Park!

Haha..kinda happening this weekend...when it's supposed to be the EXAM PERIOD for most of us...

Where did I go today?

Ans: To celebrate out dear Tan Chee Guan's 21st birthday party @ King Albert Park McDonald's!!!

I can only say it's a very innovative and BOLD idea to hold an ADULT BIRTHDAY PARTY @ MACS...LOL...




Birthday boy in BIG RED BOW TIE...hahaha..














We were literally treated like 5 year-old kids..playing games: follow the "big sister's" instructions and dance with the music...like doing the Twinkle Twinle Little Star action and shake butts, then proceed to playing another Island game, where we're supposed to dance around our Island (a pc of Mac tray paper), when the music stops, we have to step on the paper. As the music goes on again, the person will take away some of the papers, and more people will have to squeeze on the paper, who gets kicked out will kena penalty...but...we were just dancing and laughing around and nobody got 'punished' in the end...
And EVERYONE else in Mac were staring into the party room, amazed at so many "BIG KIDS" playing around, making so much noise...haha!

Big Sister: Ok kids, are all of you hungry??? *smiles*
BIG KIDS: (loudly) YES!!!
Big Sister: Ok, so before you eat, what should you do?? *smiled again*
BIG KIDS: WASH HANDS!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Then came the worst part...we have to queue up in twos and form a choo-choo train line and go out and wash hands!!!
Instead of going straight to the toilet which is just outside the party room, we were brought to parade around the whole of Mac, in 2 lines, with our hands on the shoulders of the person in front... (-_-|||) Damn AA, fun, but SUPER malu!!
*Hope no one I know saw me that please..*

It was really fun...and I just realised that many of us have either never held a party at Mac before or have never been to one when we were young.. I only attended Mac parties before, twice or thrice I think..can't remember..

It really brought back some childhood memories, if not, brought us back to the times when we were kids, and had a great time together playing, laughing, eating, making lots of noise...and..being cute!! haha..the party hat was...classic...haha..

Thank you Chee Guan for the party! Anyway Happy 21st Birthday! May your wishes come true! Welcome to join us ah! Enjoy being an adult! haha... :P

To the rest, good luck in the upcoming exams again! Then enjoy the long-awaited holidays! :D

五月天《回到地球表面》巡迴演唱會 Mayday Returns to the Surface of Earth Concert 2008

五月天又回來了!

完美的搖滾音樂、‘從天而降的突擊隊員’和前所未有的吊橋同時出現在新加坡室内體育館!



新加坡是五月天《回到地球表面》演唱會的第一站。



這就是所謂的‘吊橋’,因爲它真的可以被吊起來,所以叫‘吊橋’。哈哈!



阿信直接站在眾歌迷的旁邊唱歌。帥斃了!:D




阿信漸漸走過我們,再回到臺上去。



忘了介紹,這是和我一起去看演唱會的好朋友之一,凱琳!:D



凱琳旁邊那位是她的雙胞胎姐姐,凱雯!也是我大學的好朋友哦! :D



回到演唱會去,這是阿信和怪獸再次出現在我們面前的時刻!不好意思,用小妹我的手機拍的,效果不太好,盡請原諒!:P



我拍到的最好的照片!阿信就站在我面前,似乎有在看著我的鏡頭 hor! 可是如果放大來看的話,其實沒有啦……哈哈!超帥的啦!

It's not easy to write about a concert in a news article way, and I just reached home from the concert, quite tiring to think of how to write, so I shall just write in my own style, according to what I remember! hehe...

一开场,5個白马王子的出现就吸引了在场所有观众的尖叫聲!我忘了他们厂的第一首歌是什么,好像是我不太熟悉的歌。不过我发现,有些我没听过的歌其实很好听!好象《九号球》和闽南歌曲《垃圾车》,好听!摇滚歌曲一手接着一首,抒情的、快节奏的,不管是什么,只要是五月天的音乐,大家都high了起来!:D

到了演唱会的一半,他们都开始从台上走到吊桥去,中间还经过了观众席,从头到尾,让我们能够360度地看到五月天!其实他们几个男生也够A的,哈哈!大家为玛莎唱生日歌,后来他们又说什么没有蛋糕之类的话,玛莎便开起冠佑的玩笑来,说什么就把蜡烛往他身上插好了,之后大家都大笑,他们几个又说要鞭玛莎等。噢,玛莎还穿了裙子!从舞台跑到吊桥上,玛莎直言说他穿着裙子,很难跑!后来阿信也当场把玛莎‘推销’了一番,说什么玛莎今年31岁,单身,嗜好就是穿裙子,然后带着长长的吊饰(当时他的裙子上吊着一条链子吧)……又把我们惹笑了。哈哈!

其实,他们唱的歌曲好像不太多,反而是花了许多时间在和歌迷们在互动,比如来个感性时间的聊天啦、教我们配合做些动作、呐喊等。歌曲大概有(不分排名先后,只照我的记性记录下来),《闯》、《天使》、《知足》、《垃圾车》、《轧车》、《倔强》、《洋葱》、《离开地球表面》、《我又初恋了》、《九号球》、《恒星的恒心》、《生命有一种绝对》、《终结孤单》、《孙悟空》、《恋爱-ing》、《叫我第一名》、《爱情万岁》、《温柔》等。其他的我不记得了。hehe...

《生命有一种绝对》是阿信在趁其他队员在换装时所独唱的一首歌,超好听!之后他也有用吉他自弹自唱了一首歌,可是现在我太累了,想不起来,不好意思!他还说:“他们终于去换衣服了,我等他们离开等很久了。趁他们在换衣服的时候,我要来唱这首歌……”
在教我们做一些动作的时候,阿信又说:“今晚我要把你們的精力搾到乾乾,我才讓你們回家。”
可是,好像是他们先累耶。
阿信后来又说:“惨了,我看很难让你们用完体力,我看我们一整晚都会在这里,你们不用回家了……”

在感谢赞助商的时候,英文不太流利的它们似乎碰到了难题。五月天一边感谢赞助商,一边奏乐打鼓要我们尖叫,已表示对赞助商的感谢,可是开始大家的反应不太热烈,阿信说:“你们这样我们明年也许来不了了……”
到了念一些英文名字的时候,阿信把纸条递给玛莎,玛莎看了一眼,便把纸条交回给阿信,而阿信只好请石头帮忙念。只见石头用高调的声音念了一堆话,阿信就说:“还是把声音调高一点会比较好哦?”后来他们还是认真地念了一遍,原来他们是要讲"crocodile" & "unusual productions"的名字…… (-_-|||)

零零碎碎地就记得那么多,写得太细也会变得沉闷。我想我写得已经够详细也够沉闷了。哈哈!还是到此为止吧! :P



在演唱会之前和凯琳在Bugis的Billy Bombers 吃的双人海鲜拼盘!不错哦!



离开了地球表面,high 到爽了,是时候回到地球表面继续面对现实,冲刺咯!加油!

Hello everyone, I'm back!!!

Wah lao eh, finally a breather from the HELL WEEK...just handed in my 2nd last project/assignment of the sem! That goes to say, STILL GOT ONE MORE...bloody hell..

Sorry I'm a bit violent these days, lack of sleep and stress...haha..but..what the heck, it's exam period! Why that Zhu make us do soooo many assignments?!?! He really thinks we year 4s/3s are very eng...so much work to do, so little marks...and his exam sounded tedious...FULL OF COMPLAINTS...haha...I've tried my best to think the better side of him..probably he doesn't know our culture here well enough that's why he's like that...but..don't know den don't know how to ask ah?! buay tahan... haha..

The past few weeks have been really crazy...it's still a crazy period, but sort of slightly less tense le...so haven't been thinking about Taiwan trip much..but recently Caren said we should be able to watch I Guess live recording...I felt soooo excited! :D Really looking forward to the trip now man...haha...

It's Mayday concert tonight! Going with the twins..haha..we were doing assignment in school, then they received a msg from fen who has ticket lobang...after a while..we decided to get the most ex tix and rock the night away with Mayday! Ex ah, but...it's worth it! Really need a stress-relief rock session...haha...very long never go for concert le... *using excuses to get rid of the guiltiness* Hiaks..

Anyway, I've gotten back my ISM last week. A week after submission, my dear sup Dr Ong finished marking liao..I think another girl who's under him and I are the first persons to receive our results...damn fast la! Super 恐怖!

So now, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to: Dr Ong of course, who encouraged me to do ISM, and then guided me patiently all the while, feeding me with his ideas and knowledge, and then mark my paper, and appreciates the effort that I've put in; 梁文福老師, who is kind enough to spare me some of his free time for an interview, without which, my arguments would not be so strongly supported; Loh Wei, who kindly lent me his Xin Yao CDs, without them, I cannot complete my work at all, cos it's based largely on the analysis of the lyrics of these songs, so, very very 感謝! ; Kai Wen and Kai Lin , who lent me the book written by 梁老師, without which I cannot complete my work as well, and for their encouragement which is much needed, and to Kai Wen who helped me vet my first draft and suggested points that I can discuss with Dr Ong, love you gals! :D ; Xiang Fu aka the 'zai' one for vetting my second draft before I handed in as well, without his comments and opinions, my essay would not be as coherent as it should be, kam sia zuay zuay ah! :P
And to my dear family and all my dear friends who have given me their opinions, encouragement and love...I really appreciate it!!! Thank You all!!!

Sorry for being so lor sor (long-winded), cos unlike thesis, we no need to have 感謝詞 in our ISM...so I can only express my thanks over here, and during face-to-face meetings with you guys... :P

A super long post again. Haha...anw good luck to all those who are having exams!! Jiayou and all the best!!! Ganbatte!! :D

One more month..

Finally handed in my ISM. Cui. Wanted to hand in on Sunday night to my supervisor, but an "Out of Office Autoreply" bounced my work back to me. My supervisor went for an urgent trip to China!!! :S
Then the next day morning he sent me an email, saying: "I'm in China for an urgent meeting, so I would not be in time to read your paper before the deadline. But don't worry, just submit it..." Aiyo..scary sia...2nd draft, awaiting for his approval, now become final paper! What the heck...
And i exceed the word limit. Supposedly 7000-10000 words, I got 12000+ words! Heck liao la..actually they don't care about the no. of words you write, most importantly, your essay must be coherent and you must be clear in your expression...but I'm not sure if I achieved that too..wahaha..

Anyway, i don't really feel a sense of relief leh...still got 5 assignments to be completed in 2-3 weeks' time, before our one and only exam. But one month later, we'll be having fun, going overseas, slacking around, and also on our way to embark on a new journey in life...

Met many new friends this semester, and got to know some of them real well too.. :)
I won't forget the times we all complain, grumble, pia, gossip, 谈心, joke and laugh together..best memories of my uni years in NUS... :D

Take care and jiayou my dear friends! And others who are still schooling or working! :D

忙里偷闲

I'm in the midst of doing my ISM now. It's the second draft already, but I still got introduction and conclusion to write. Easy and difficult task. Easy cos you can write in any way you want, in a way, difficult cos you must summarise all your main points into a few lines and make it clear, so that people will know what is your paper all about...sianz..

Anyway, a piece of news here. I think many friends should know. I got accepted for the job. So after I come back from Taiwan, I'll have to start training. On 26th May. I only know that the training lasts for 2.5 months, but I don't know other details already. Haha..so please do not ask me what's my pay like, where will I be flying to etc, cos I really DON'T KNOW...haha..I don't even know when am I going to sign the contract..until I receive my employment letter and email from them..so..that's about all so far.. :)

Anyway, to Hiannie and Irene, this is 《七仔》MV! Remind you of CJ7's scenes of 七仔!haha..Enjoy! :D

Slack slack slack!!!

I'm supposed to be working on my ISM and yet here I am...slacking...LOL

Slacked the whole of Saturday...

Went to St Nicks to visit the old school before it closes for renovation, or rather, redevelopment...took some kind of fun fair ride and one ride cost $10!!! Damn ex rite? Luckily half of the coupons were free (we had $80 worth), and we spent the coupons in like less than 2hours or so...cos the things and food were SUPER ex..

From what I had heard, "The orange bowl", as we liked to call it, which is actually many SN girls' favourite Ba Chor Mee stall, costs $5 per bowl! Oh man, we can go back to school another day and eat at least 3 big bowls with that price...

Anyway, we went AMK Hub to eat lunch, cos Ms Teo Ailing needed to leave after lunch to rush out her reports and other work...poor girl...

So after lunch, all of us headed down to PS! For movie marathon! wahaha...2 movies in a day! And each tix only costs $7.50, due to HSBC's offer.. (check out GV website if you are interested, lazy to advertise too much for them here..haha!)

Watched "Vantage Point" and 《第一诫》...Vantage Point is not bad, haha I shall not describe the show since many of you haven't watched. But it's really not bad...some parts are quite funny also...
Same for 《第一诫》...aiyo, was damn scared at first and I tried to listen to Kee Lee's advice, to cover my ears to block out the super loud and scary sound effects if I'm scared, but after some time, my hands really got very tired...so I decided to let my hands down and watched, somehow after some time when you know what's going on, you won't feel so scared anymore...the ghosts appear in the same manner...haha..BOOM! But the plot is not bad...got storyline wan...Fiona Xie didn't 卖弄性感 in the show also, her performance is not bad lah..but she always appear in the same 场景,which is her house, never go anywhere else wan..quite poor thing..haha...

Ok la! Enough of slacking...back to my ISM... *sianz*

Friday, March 28, 2008

Ramblings..

Went for The Body Shop Sale at Suntec today...wah kao...damn damn crowded!!!

It was the first day of sale, and in an hour's time the place would be closed...and the number of people just increase non-stop...I was telling June, Emelia and Yiing Yng that it looked like people are snatching for food rations during war time...and how blessed we are, snatching for wants instead of necessities when other people in the world don't even have necessities to snatch for!

叹为观止...I can only describe the scene this way...OVER...really OVER...lol...




It's quite dark...but u can see that there are really many people around...machiam CNY Chinatown that kinda squeezy scene...动弹不得!!!



4 of us shopping! Finally queuing to pay...queuing alone took us slightly more than 1.5hrs...scary??? If we had known the situation is lidat, we probably wont go for it liao... :S




我们的战利品! :D




My Chinese conversational class' students! Got pretty girls and cute boys! haha..don't think I will ever be a teacher..I don't know what to do when there's 冷场...haha...

Went to Chinese Heritage Museum at Chinatown ytd with the Overseas Chinese class...then went over to Teochew Huay Kuan...so cool...uni student liao still got excursion...we were very excited! even took pics with one another! :D
It's really a memorable honours year...especially this semester...very fun and happening... :)

Monday, March 24, 2008

I'm back...for a while...

It's been more than 2 weeks since I last blog. Sorry for MIA-ing, was busy with school work and thesis stuff..

Time for some updates... :)

Grad Night Pics:


Before the event started...



The few of us..still got some of them don't know where they go...



The teachers were slacking around...we were busy taking photos all around the place..haha..



Time for some nice pose! :D



My fave teacher Dr Ong..my ISM is also under him...but..damn damn stressed..he can help me to slim down this sem...he controls my emotions for now..jialat..really don't know what he wants for the thesis..PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO REWRITE AGAIN...NO TIME LIAO.. :(




Our gang...largest in Chinese dept..haha..love you all gals..you all rock my uni days! :D




The whole Chinese gang...with MANY people absent...



And the CH gang! Yeah! :) Sorry I got no CL gang pic..hehe..

That was last week. The most happening day. Remaining of the week is still study, teach, study and teach..and finally the teaching ended! Took pics with some of the kids, but I forgot to upload.. will post it sometime later when I need to take a break from school work..

I was damn sad last night..I've spent 2 weeks on the thesis..and it only took him 45min to sort of 否定 what I had written...挫败感挺大的...but thanks to some friends' encouragement...you all are right...guess I can only 化悲愤为力量,好好地重新将论文写过。但也希望不是真的要重头来啦,只有两个星期的时间剩了!!But I should be thankful that they have extended the deadline..if not I would really be dead before the line...

Why lidat???

这几天都在忙,上课、授课、打磕睡……eh 错了,是做研究……hehe...

现在本人正在国大图书馆搜查有关于“新谣”的资料。找越多,头越大。更“糟”(也不清楚是好是坏)的是,经过梁文福老师的介绍和提醒,我还找到了一位前南大生所写的“新谣”毕业论文。

昨晚终于“敢敢”地去找梁文福老师,并与他作了个正面的访谈……

非常感谢凯琳(不知道有没有打错 :P)陪了我一趟,要不然我想我会紧张个100000000倍,哈哈!

他的人很健谈,我想是因为他知道我要什么样的答案吧,哈哈!然后他对我说,前几年已有学生作过这方面的研究了,所以我和她的论文会有很多重叠的地方……

现在看到她的论文(还在阅读的过程),我真的是“闲”一半……除了措辞的不同外(她用的是“身份认同”,而我用的是“自我定位”),基本上我要讨论的东西,她好像都讨论过了。害我白高兴一场,还以为自己是这方面研究的“先锋”咧……失望咧……(肤浅)

不过说真的啦,的确是有失望的感觉,因为我们的论点实在是太相似了,现在我还得绞尽脑汁想不同的论点来推翻,或是建构在其论文之上,不然,这个论文作了也没有意义。完全相同的话,我干脆copy and paste她的论文再交上去,省时又省力。更何况,梁老师要我寄一份成品给他,这无形中造成了我必须把论文写好的压力啊。

*叹气*

New mattress and chair!!! :D

Last week I was complaining to my parents about my back problem. Must be lack of exercise and the old mattress, which was quite soft and bouncy..

My Mum helped me pasted 2 pieces of 'goh yo por' (medicated patch) at my back and it was much better, but it still hurts sometimes...haiz, old liao ah...back ailments at this age...cui...

So I told my parents that I'm going to buy a new mattress once I get my pay after I start working, and the next day they were choosing a mattress for me! Plus a chair (I forgot what it's called, revolving chair? Sounds weird...) because it has been spoilt for quite some time. I adjusted it to the highest position and it can no longer be lowered...so imagine how much I have to bend my body when I'm using my laptop at my table.. :S

I felt quite bad cos my parents still have to pay the 2 items for me, and I felt super touched cos they actually took the initiative to buy it for me! Ok perhaps I should not sound so surprised, they are my parents afterall, so buying things for their children is very normal. But I'm 23 liao! By right, I should give them money and give them a good life, instead of them having to provide for me. Although I still can use the excuse that I'm schooling, I still feel very paiseh, and grateful..it's $300 leh..
So, I'm very happy now!!! :D

Aiyo, my youngest niece finally willing to call me gu gu (auntie), and she can call me like don't know how many times in 1 minute. :D

BUT, OMG...she calls me TU TU (baby language for pacifier) instead of GU GU...and she happily calls me TU TU as and when she likes it, by shouting somemore... -_-|||

GU GU, TU TU, 傻傻分不清楚……she really 傻傻分不清楚啊....LOL

Projects, papers, non-stop readings...

Haiz, the time for the semester comes again...getting very very sick of it even though it's my last semester in NUS...

This semester, 5 modules as usual, 5 papers to write, 1 presentation, 1 project and 2 tests. Seems ok as compared to my last semester. But still, it's a lot of work, and the teachers' expectations are rather high. They expect us to read EVERY SINGLE reading they give and even pose questions to the people presenting in class... :S

Sometimes I really wish I could just graduate immediately. Haha..
Better stop harbouring such thought, if not those OL (Office Ladies) will kill me...wahaha..
