pessimism filled my brain totally for the past few days. totally forgot about the things i wanted to write in my blog.now that my brain is temporarily free from sadness and agony,i better write down what i can remember....
returning back to sg on sunday evening, it was the day before school reopens in sg. and yesh,the famous causeway jam was definitely there.traffic was backed all the way into JB. so there i was,with han wei,sitting in an air-con 170 (my heartfelt gratitude to the person who invented air con) and the bus was more or less stationary.
Han Wei:want to walk to the malaysian customs?
Me:Dun want lah,also dunno how far it is...and i very tired leh
after enduring the unmoving vehicle (and enjoying air con...) for another 20mins,i finally gave in and we alighted the bus to walk to the customs.luckily we did, because the jam was so bad,if we had waited in the bus,we probably would have to be stuck in the jam for another half hour or so...
anyway,after the m'sian customs, Han Wei convinced me to walk across the causeway.being the more rational and clear-minded one,he was right in doing so because the jam was SOOOOO bad!!!!oh,and he was in a hurry to go to a bathroom to pee, so round of applause for han wei,for holding his piss in from m'sian customs, across the causeway,waiting in the queues to clear s'pore immigration and baggage check. *clap clap clap*
and last night,han wei and i were at weipeng's place who was showing us his new Jolin Tsai's DVD...just seconds after jolin started dancing to her new song,the tv went blank and darkness engulfed us.for one moment,we thought it was a short circuit....then,to our dismay,almost every block in bukit batok is dark...BLACKOUT!!omigod,when was the last time there's a blackout in sg. haiz...anyway,we din get to enjoy jolin's dance..and all the fans were not working so we were sitting in weipeng's living room,fanning ourselves with a traditional paper fan..hoping that the electricity would return soon so han wei and i can return to my place without the risk of falling down the stairs. kinda nice to sit there with candles and torchlight illuminating weipeng's living room and just chatting.in the end,we watched the MTV on his laptop instead. THank god for battery power!!
after almost 2 hours,han wei and i decided to stop waiting and walk back in the dark..it wasn't full moon,but due to the blackout,the moonlight shining upon us became very obvious. Kinda romantic if u think abt it...being with the person u love,walking hand in hand under the moonlight that is filtering through the leaves of the trees. everywhere else is dark and silent.
well,the romantic part lasted till when i had to climb stairs up to my place (on 5th storey) and trying to put my keys into the keyholes with barely enough light to even see my door.*grimace* on entering my place,my brother was sitting in the balcony with a bowl of instant noodles in candlelight.hopeless romantic guy, that's my brother...
the worst part of the blackout is the excruciating heat from the lack of fans.ARGH!! luckily,the power came back abt 2 mins after i arrived back home. immediately,i switched on the fan and yesh,cool wind blast into my face.2 hours of darknes is finally over. cheers and applause sounded all around bukit batok.i've never heard so much cheering since the time singapore was able to participate in malaysia cup and won.
apparently,the blackout was due to a sudden cut in natural gas supply from indonesia,causing the major powerstation to fail and more than a third of sg was deprived of precious electricity. ah well,guess it's not a bad idea to let singaporeans experience blackout once in a while...remind us that power is precious and that we shouldn't waste electricity...
right now,i am just glad my comp is working,the fans are working,the tv is working (although the display is showing abnormalities...) and when i flip the switch in my room, light would come on.
life's little luxuries...u never know how precious they are until u lose them...
tata!
because i am bored..and because i have nothing to do..apparently...

impending separation, developing gloom
back from m'sia.had my durians, bak kut teh and wantan mee.played with my new baby niece and nephews. had fun, had laughter...and now,it's back to reality...
what's reality? 2 assignments that need to be edited and printed. stuff i need to buy to bring back to melb. need to start packing...and the most painful one of all...knowing that i only have 4 days left in singapore...knowing that this saturday,"spirit of Australia" is going to tear me away from my family...knowing that from this sunday onwards,the only way i can talk to han wei is through telephone with thousands of miles separating us.
wish han wei is here now to hold me while i try not to cry...
but Han Wei is stuck in camp for exercise. Life has to go all wrong at time when i am most vulnerable eh?!
the reality hit me so suddenly,i felt like all the happiness just get sucked out of me and disintegrated into millions of tiny particles..thrown into the air and get blown to god-knows-where.
what's left is a stressed-out,upset,depressed fat old lady, sitting in front of the comp right now typing this entry.
was reading germaine's blog abt her not coming back to Singapore. sometimes i wish i have her decisiveness and determination to not come back. but when Han Wei is telling me he miss me and wish i am back, i give in and though i get to enjoy his company,his hugs and kisses while i am here, the agony and pain of leaving is almost too much for me to bear.while germ is wishing she is here now,i am wishing i dun have to leave.sometimes i wonder which screw in my head has gone loose and caused me to decide to study in melbourne.
must be the one that stops me from making stupid decisions.
and which smart alec said separation gets easier? i want to grab that person's neck and wring it till his/her head come off.
and the fact that i have 2 assignments to do is not helping...nor does the fact that i have tonnes of household chores to do giving me any encouragement.
i need to sleep. sleep off the pain and sorrow gnawing my heart..sleep off the stress slicing my brain...sleep off the loneliness cutting my soul...
and sleep off the fear of going back to melbourne and being all alone...

kepong -- tangkak -- chup kee bua!
what the hell does the title of my entry means? these are names of the places i'll be going this time round in malaysia. not the usual touristy places, but small towns and kampong my relatives in malaysia live in.
kepong (pronounced Kup-Pong),a small little town about 3.5 hours bus ride (including taking 170 from Kranji and a change of bus at Pagoh) from Singapore. this little town has the best durians i have ever tasted in my life...and i get them for free because my relative owns the plantation!ahahaha!!!BUT, too bad all the durians have all dropped and been sold. sighz. but still, my relative's place is right in front of the river that runs through the town. beautiful eh!!
Tangkak, another small town about 2.5 hours bus ride from Singapore. Not as ulu as Kepong, it's a town with tonnes of shops selling cloth. I go there for the yummiest bak kut teh and wantan mee. *drooling* BUT due to time constraints this time round, may not have the chance to eat. sighz. four of my aunts live in tangkak, so my mummy would be spending lotsa time there chatting and chatting and chatting....
Chup Kee Bua (translated into 10 and a half miles) is a kampong about 20 minutes drive from Tangkak. The name of the kampong is because it's 10.5 miles away from Muar(a larger town boasting of horrific traffic conditions and lotsa shoppping centers...)My mum (Mdm Yap)was from this kampong. The Yap family dominates this kampong, so many of my older relatives still stay there. when i was younger,this is a really fascinating place.kids run around half naked, playing in the dirt and climbing trees to pluck rambutans. but now, technology has invaded this little town...kids nowadays watch cartoons on tv instead. sadness...
so so,a little intro to the places i would be at for the next 4 days.
Opps...better go bathe before my mummy comes screaming into my ear.
Tata!

lok shui??? (rain???)
Singapore's sunny sky has been transformed into what looks like a "it's the end of the world!!" movie set. Dark gloomy clouds covering the entire sky (well..at least whatever bit of sky that i can see from my house...)and the air has this tinge of rainy smell in it.but it's not raining. the air here is saturated with water vapour. seems like a tropical thunderstorm is on its way. abt time that it starts raining anyway. though it seems like a strange coincidence that it would start raining the day before i go malaysia....just like it stopped raining the moment i arrive back in sg when it had been pouring the weeks before i came back...........
was reading through a few other peoples' blogs.mainly friends of friends' blogs. just realised i must be one of the few maniacs in this world who blogs everyday. then again,when u are at home with nothing to do but assignments,i would choose blogging over doing those stupid *(&#*@^*$()* assignments.
just yesterday, when i thought i've finally accomplished something for that awful health promotion assignment, i read through a document sent by my lecturer and nearly smashed my head into the monitor...I DID IT ALL WRONG!!!argh!!!imagine the fustration. 2 whole days of effort into doing something u hate,but have to do..only to realise u need to start all over again. OMIGOD!!i'm surprised i din get a stroke. My blood pressure probably rose to a new world record high. seriously, i think the school of physio is secretly doing a research project to find out the best way to eliminate lousy physio students from the course. i mean, how on earth do 1 come up with a health promotion project when all i know about health promotion is the Great Singapore Workout?? (remember the song?? "get out of ur seat,onto ur feet...get ur body moving like mine. It's singapore, singapore workout time...")fustration is an understatement.
sometimes,i think all lecturers in this world are sadistic. they derive pleasure in seeing students squirm with unnecessary assignments..and more pleasure when students are unable to complete them.
and to top it all off,i am falling sick.have been sneezing and sniffling for the past couple of days. my nose was so blocked this morning,i couldn't breathe through my nose.haiz.if this is how my winter vacation is supposed to be like,then i'd rather have no vacation at all. suckz!!
but still,i am glad that i am back in sg.at least when i am down and out,han wei is just a local phone call away...and mummy is here to cook yummy food for me...
today,i have to pia finish my assignments..by hook or by crook.i am NOT going to lug my heavy laptop into malaysia.uh uh..not going to happen. even if i a not going to sleep for the entire night, I MUST FINISH MY ASSIGNMENTS!!!!
i can feel the determination in me leaking out like an inflated balloon not tied up properly. haha...ah well...whatever it is, first watch an episode of friends...laugh abit,lift my mood up abit...then it's back to assignments...
ah-choo!*sniffx2* well...now would be a really good time to have healing power,so i can stop sneezing and get on with my work.
AH CHOO!!*sniff* excuse me...

testing my han yu pin yin skill
Was listening to Stefanie Sun's song Yu Jian.really like the song very much,so went to find the lyrics. Wanted to copy the chinese words into my entry but din work...so,going to type the lyrics out in han yu pin yin...here we go
Yu Jian
ting jian dong tian de li kai, wo zai mou nian mou yue xing guo lai
wo xiang wo deng wo qi dai, wei lai que bu neng yin ci an pai
*ying tian bang wan che chuang wai, wei lai you yi ge ren zai deng dai
xiang zuo xiang you xiang qian kan, ai yao guai ji ge wan cai lai
wo yu jian shui hui you ze yang de dui bai, wo deng de ren ta zai duo yuan de wei lai
wo ting jian feng lai zi di tie he ren hai, wo pai zhe dui na zhe ai de hao ma pai*
repeat *
#wo wang qian fei fei guo yi pian shi jian hai
wo men ye ceng zai ai qing li shou shang hai
wo kan zhe lu meng de ru kou you dian zhai
wo yu jian ni shi zui mei de yi wai
zhong you yi tian wo de mi di hui jie kai#
okie..highly suggest that if u wanna sing along using this lousy lyrics, please listen to the song as u sing along. i am probably the only who knows what the hell this bunch of gibberish means. :P still,i am proud of myself for being able to type out the lyrics in pin yin. not easy, considering i hardly use han yu pin yin in the past few years.hehe..strange sense of achievement...maybe i should start translating chinese song lyrics to pin yin so pple who cannot read chinese words can still sing along to the songs they like.
really in love with this song.btw,the song is one of the theme songs for the movie xiang zuo zou,xiang you zou..starring gigi leung and jin cheng wu. quite a nice romance movie. abit out of this world..but i guess it can happen in real life..whereby 2 pple living next to each other fall in love but never knew that they live next to each other. dun ask me how that happens...such a long story if i were to describe the entire movie here.
sighz..back to assignments. :<

movie mania
just came back from watching "The Best Bet" (aka tu1 ran2 fa1 cai2)with Han Wei. Another Jack Neo/Mediacorp/Raintree production.story abt how singaporeans pin their hopes on 4D to make lotsa money in one weekend. 99% of the movie is in Hokkien..luckily got subtitles,if not Han Wei would have to explain every word to me. It was quite good,very funny and i am simply amazed at how the actors speak so fluently in Hokkien.
already watched 3 movies since i'm back in sg.first was harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.i think it was good,despite what many critics say that the harry potter series is getting worse.i really enjoyed the movie.kinda nice to see the actors growing up with the movie. the girl acting as Hermione is getting prettier with every sequel. Han Wei was almost drooling in the cinema :P somehow,i wish that she would get together with harry. guess it's just typical for a girl to want to see some romance in every story huh?
then watched Shrek 2.all shrek fans out there,must watch shrek 2.it is HILARIOUS!!!han wei din wanna watched it at first,but i managed to get him to go and watch with me..and he really enjoyed it in the end :D dun wanna give any funny parts away, but must watch Shrek 2 if u enjoyed Shrek. seriously,i think it's one of the few movies that make me laughed so hard. oh! look out for puss in boots. so CUTE!!!
just realised that it's already 11.47pm here...unlikely to meet anyone online in melbourne.
talking abt harry potter and shrek, I once asked Jingfung and Edwin if they can choose to have one super power, what would it be? JF chose invisibility (apparently so he can sneak into female changing rooms and take a look around...typical guy yeah?).edwin chose the ability to control other peoples' mind (apparently so he can control how other people think...)i chose the ability to heal (so i can heal others and myself then can save money on healthcare...haha...stingy hor?).but now that i think abt it, i want the ability to teleport. so i can come back to sg on weekends then teleport back to melb on weekdays.that would be just wonderful isn't it? sighz...or i can teleport my parents and han wei to melbourne...or teleport myself and han wei to europe for a romantic weekend...
okie,i am really "night-dreaming"...feeling super sleepy now.need to sleep soon.*yawn* another night in my mosquito-infested room. argh. why can't mosquitoes be extinct like dinosaurs?
maybe i should choose the ability to repel mosquitoes naturally...save me from the torture of their endless bites.
nite nite! :P

talking abt harry potter and shrek, I once asked Jingfung and Edwin if they can choose to have one super power, what would it be? JF chose invisibility (apparently so he can sneak into female changing rooms and take a look around...typical guy yeah?).edwin chose the ability to control other peoples' mind (apparently so he can control how other people think...)i chose the ability to heal (so i can heal others and myself then can save money on healthcare...haha...stingy hor?).but now that i think abt it, i want the ability to teleport. so i can come back to sg on weekends then teleport back to melb on weekdays.that would be just wonderful isn't it? sighz...or i can teleport my parents and han wei to melbourne...or teleport myself and han wei to europe for a romantic weekend...
okie,i am really "night-dreaming"...feeling super sleepy now.need to sleep soon.*yawn* another night in my mosquito-infested room. argh. why can't mosquitoes be extinct like dinosaurs?
maybe i should choose the ability to repel mosquitoes naturally...save me from the torture of their endless bites.
nite nite! :P
time is like sand,slipping through my fingers
my room is infested with mosquitoes.irritating blood-sucking creatures buzzing around my ears for the whole night. i hid under my blanket,only to start sweating...i came out of my blanket,only to be a giant buffet for these yucky insects. somebody, HELP!!!
as the sun peeps into my room this morning,and as i finally start to drift out of a restless sleep from the scratching and itching, i start to realise i only have less than 2 weeks left in sunny singapore. then it's back to cold and gloomy melbourne...back to the headache of trying to rent out my CS apt..and to the back-breaking job of moving from CS to Collins Street. Part of me want to duck under my pillow and will time to stop right here,right now.
my time back in sg so far has been pretty good.aside from being breakfast for dozens of mosquitoes,i had fun so far. the "chalet" and the trip to Wild Wild Wet(the new water themepark), watching movies (harry potter and Shrek2) and spending time with han wei...the only 2 giant boulders hanging on my shoulder are the 2 assignments due in july.wish i can wave a magic wand and make them go away.this week is gonna be yet another activities-filled week of assignments and a trip to malaysia to visit my relatives. and han wei is coming with me! yayy! at least when my mum cannot stop chatting with my aunts and uncles,i have someone to talk to. but still,the load of 2 unfinished assignments hang over me...i am crumbling under the pressure...help!!
3 weeks back home seems like 3 days...with each passing moment,the sick feeling in my stomach wells up higher my digestive tract,threatening to perform an anti-gravity stunt with the 3 roti-pratas i had for breakfast. whenever i think of the apt in CS,my mood drops to a new record low for the month. while part of me knows that at least i would be moving in with germaine, and i am excited abt that...a huge part of me knows that when i step onto that plane that would fly me back to melbourne, part of my heart would start to bleed from the separation that cuts me right through and tortures me for the next few months before i step onto this sunny island again.
now i understand why germaine din wanna come back. because although the three weeks with han wei was wonderful,the three weeks with my parents is pure bliss..what comes after the three weeks is just so awful that sometimes,i wish i dun have to go through it. wish i have the will to actually say i dun wanna come back..but i dun. the lure of the yummy food my mummy cooks and the loving arms of han wei makes me want to come back home. yet with each return, every departure cuts me deeper than before. by the time i graduate,i would be just a bloody mess of cut up flesh. ewwwww!!
i'm like a moth to a candle flame. it hurts bloody bad to keep throwing myself into the burning wick, yet i cannot resist the temptation.
1.5 years to go...seems so short..but feels so long.
sighz....

bugalow vacation at pasir ris
came back for the night from han wei's relative's company's holiday bungalow in pasir ris.tomorrow going back for BBQ...all the fatty,oil-laden,carbon-encrusted food. YUMMY?
the bugalow is huge.considering that i live in a 5 room flat,and this bugalow actually have 5 bedrooms,2 shower+toilet and 2 toilets, u can imagine how surprised i am to find myself waking on the first morning and realised i have to go DOWNSTAIRS for breakfast. hehe...interesting experience...
anyway,singapore has this new water theme park at NTUC resort in pasir ris. went there today with han wei and his cousin (Dennis). the sun is scorching hot,and it's school holidays. that basically results in long long queues in hot hot sun..which basically causes sunburn on moi arms,and han wei's shoulders. we are both anticipating days of pain and peeling skin. so fun huh?
yeah,it was fun...the first ride wasn't that good for me though.basically,they built this ramp that sort of look like those skateboarders used for stunts..but higher and steeper..then 2 people sit in this air-filled float and slide down. sounds great isn't it? well,not being a fan of the sensation of free-fall,i basically scream my lungs out from the beginning to the end...and then when it finally starts to slow down,almost in tears, i told han wei,"i dun want to play anymore." yup,scared the crap out of me. at least han wei enjoyed himself lah.and he got to do it twice...once with Dennis before enduring my screams...haha...oh,and did i mention that my butt slipped through the damn hole in the float so that my tailbone knocked against the ramp when the free-fall ended...ended with an abrasion on my bum. OUCH!
but the rest of the rides were pretty much like fantasy island. it was great in that it was shiok to be finally in water after standing in queue for like half an hour...but the rides were not thrilling enough (well,one was too thrilling for me...) and the wait was too long..by abt 5 hours later,all three of us were bored!!!and all the while,whenever we ask Dennis what he wants to do,he replied with "i dunno" or "anything"...not very helpful eh? but ah well,i did enjoy myself. so i guess that's the most impt thing yeah?
yup yup,most exciting event of the week is this trip to "SINGAPORE"S LARGEST WATER THEME PARK!" i mean,hello?!there's only like 2 water themeparks in singapore!! anyway,it was great to get a tan (hopefully a tan is left after my skin stop peeling) and soak up enough UV rays to kill dunno how many of my skin cells. :>
tata!

Additional features to my blog
i've made some modifications to my blog so that anyone can leave me a msg on my guestbook or on the forum instead of the comments link. i also dunno why i did it...just thot it might be fun.
i am having a major headache now from staring at the screen for the past 3 hours or so.was initially doing research for the health promotion assignment,but to no avail.ended up watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and revamping my blog. now all i want to do is to lie down and hope that the ache in my skull would diminish to none soon.
han wei took leave this week to spend time with me.so sweet of him..so touched. :> but feeling kinda guilty cos i have assignments to complete and cannot spend much time with him. poor tired guy is napping right now. i think i am gonna need a nap as well,but my headache always gets worse after a nap.so maybe not such a good idea after all.
my head is killing me.better go before my eyes start hurting from staring at the screen for so long.
argh!!

what i learnt on my flight home part II
OMIGOD!!WAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SINGAPORE WEATHER!! seriously,it's never been this hot before. and according to my parents and han wei,it was RAINING before i came back. now i am back,either the sun is excited to see me or the rainclouds are pissed with me and are hiding somewhere,it's super excruciatingly HOT HOT HOT!!! ah well...but besides the weather,i am so enjoying myself so far. went to orchard road yesterday with han wei and it was so nice to walk along the street and just enjoying the sights and sounds of singapore. like the ice cream sellers selling ice cream on bread. or those irritating credit card people stopping others to sign up for credit cards. it feels good to be home,to be on familiar ground again. :>
back to what i've learnt on my flight home...
"TAD HAMILTON"
i was watching the movie "Win a date with Tad Hamilton!" on the flight home. Tad is this drop dead gorgeous movie star who is adored by tonnes of girls...and Rosalee is a small-town girl who is gaga over Tad...and Pete is a small-town boy who has been in love with Rosalee since forever. so basically,there was this contest to win a date with tad,and rosalee won...and surprise surprise,tad falls for rosalee,and rosaless is of course happy cos she's crazy for him. pete,on the other hand, is completely upset cos the girl he loves is falling for someone else.(BTW,i think pete is cuter than tad...more boyish.but that's just me cos i go for boyish guys..haha!)
anyway,somewhere in the movie,pete confronts tad,and he told tad that rosalee has 6 types of smiles. (i shall not go into details here...)tad, being a bastard, then won rosalee's heart by quoting pete's description of rosalee's smiles. rosalee is like "oh wow,so adorable,so sweet...blah blah" and decided to leave with tad to go to LA where he would be shooting another movie. before she left,pete went to find her and confessed his love for her after some urging from a bartender..but she rejected him!!:<
luckily for pete,tad forgot which smile is which when rosalee was asking him on the plane, and tad confessed it was pete who said she had 6 smiles. rosalee then realised she's actually in love with pete..she flew back, found pete and well, apparently live happily ever after.
so,another cheesy romantic comedy yeah? well,actually,a few lines in the movie got me thinking quite abit.when pete was sulking in the bar, the bartender (who's a female and in love with pete..)asked him this question "is rosalee a love,a big love or a great love?" pete was confused..so she explains "love takes 2 months to get over,big love takes 2 years...and great love...well,u never get over that."
after the movie,i thot abt han wei. and then i realised that he would be the great love in my life. if one day we do break up for some reason,i know he would always be that special someone who no one in the world can replace. perhaps i might fall in love with someone else,but i know i can never love someone else as much or as intense as i love him. oh geez,starting to sound like so mushy...argh..anyway,i also thot abt all the crushes i had since primary school days. and along the way, i realised that i've had alot of non-love(i.e.pure infatuation which i got over in like a day or two..),a couple of loves and one big love (and of course 1 great love a.k.a. han wei)i can still remember the pain from recovering from losing that one big love. actually not losing lah,i sort of gave him up (yeah,the guy i gave up to my best fren...)so i cannot imagine the pain i would have to endure should han wei leave me one day. sighz...
another line in the movie, bartender told pete "so what she's in love with the tad hamilton? u are tad hamilton too." pete replied "what do u mean?" she said "everyone is tad hamilton in someone's heart. just like u are tad hamilton in my heart. and u can be tad hamilton in her heart too. u just have make her realise it." (okie,not accurate quotations,just the rough idea....)
basically,everyone is a drop-dead gorgeous person in someone's eyes.just gotta find that one person who can actually appreciate me for who i am...and thank goodness,i have found him..yep yep,that's han wei. sometimes i seriously wonder what he sees in me.then again,he wonders the same thing for me...so i guess beauty does lie in the eyes of the beholder.not just outer beauty though, inner beauty seems to be only seen by some and not all...
whoa,super long entry. better stop now.so on my trip back here,i learnt how to be a bitch,and i learnt more abt love. pretty educational yeah? haha...okie,pretty crappy entry. probably because my brain is getting steamed alive from the heat!! ahhh!!
anyway,gotta go do my assignments...argh.tata!

what i learnt on my flight home part I
Finally,i am back in my home!but this flight back home is probably the most "educational" one for me
HOW TO BE A BITCH ON A COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE
incident:
some ang moh bitch sitting in front of me. lowered her seat all the way back cos she "has sore back, need to lie low" (her english not very good..).so my screen on the back of her chair is like 20 cm from my face, very glaring..so i asked her to shift her seat up...which she grudgingly did so...but after i go to the bathroom, she lowered her seat all the way back again, claiming that it's because the person in front of her lowered his seat all the way down too and she dun wanna be impolite and disturb the person in front (basically trying to tell me i am impolite cos i keep asking her to shift her seat back up). and she super long hair which she constantly "fling" around...dunno whether she got dandruff or not...oh, did i mention she constantly shift around in her seat which cause my screen to shake around.and she did many other stuff which makes me want to grab her hair and yank them off her head.
i must admit i wasn't too nice to her anyway,cos she's such a bitchy person.yeah,i was a bitch too. i kept kicking her seat until she got the hint and shift her seat up (which she then later shift back down when she thought i won't notice the difference),and i jabbed my knee into her seat so she gets some "massage" for her sore back
so,10 ways to be a bitch on a commercial airplane
1)shift ur seat all the way down and refuse to shift back up
2)grow really long hair and keep flinging them abt (and spread dandruff to every other passenger on the plane)
3)keep jabbing the intercom button "accidentally" so the stewardess keep coming and asking how she can help
4)keep kicking the seat in front of u if the person in front is not shifting their seat back up
5)bring a child with u onto the plane and get the child to keep staring at the person behind u
6)shift in ur seat every 10 seconds so the person behind cannot watch their movie without feeling sea sick from the shaking screen
7)drop everything in ur seat pocket onto the floor and pretend u dunno
8)keep opening the overhead locker and pretend to be taking something before accidentally dropping someone else's bag
9)flirt with the steward so that he takes a long time to serve u and deprive other passengers of their dinner
10)jab ur knee into the back of the seat in front of u to give the person in front some "massage"
she really spoilt my flight home lor.i think my myopia probably went up by a couple hundred degrees from staring at the screen so near my face.
sun is shining so brightly here...the amount of sweat i excreted in the past 12 hours is more than the amount i excreted in the last 2 months in melbourne. but,i'm glad the sky here is bright and sunny. 3 weeks of sun then it's back to gloomy melbourne. sighz.

final vic mkt trip for this semester
Woke up this morning and saw the dark gloomy sky and i stuck my head back under my quilt.in the comfort of my warm quilt, i realised i had to get up and go to vic mkt. that was when it hit me:it's my last vic mkt trip for this semester..and i am going alone.
as i was walking there,alot of thoughts went through my mind.from the very first vic mkt trip when i went with my seniors...to the first vic mkt trip i make by myself when my seniors din want to go with me...to the first vic mkt trip with the CS kaki gang...then on to all the last vic mkt trips with the members of the gang: eugene,andrew,peiling,weipeng...and last week, jingfung and edwin. and now,as i once again walk to vic mkt on my own,i suddenly feel at peace with the leavings of so many members of the gang...the gloomy sky doesn't bother me anymore. my footsteps became lighter...and i wanted to sing. it's been very long since i felt that way.
of course,part of my happiness is due to the fact that i am going home in like 6 days. woo hoo! and of course, i know when i return to melbourne in july,i'll probably be upset again. but it feels good at least for now to be able to smile and know that even though my friends are gone physically,they'll still be with me emotionally
last night,jingfung and edwin gave me a farewell gift:a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. book. it's a book to commemorate the ending of the greatest TV show ever..and my favourite TV show ever. i was so touched..and i was so surprised...i'm glad i din cry in front of them. :> oh,by the way,they left one of the price tags on the book. typical of them :P
not that i din think of getting them farewell gifts..just din know what to get them. but now they've given me such a wonderful present...i feel the pressure of getting them great gifts as well.which is gonna be hard cos i have NO IDEA what guys like. ah well,i'll just have to figure something out...
germaine cancelled her sleepover here tonight. can't say i am not disappointed,but i think i am handling it pretty well compared to last time when i would probably be super upset. guess letting go of the emotional baggage i've been carrying for so long has helped to look at the brighter side of life.
and as the song in one of the Nike ad goes," always look on the bright side of life *whistling*"

last night,jingfung and edwin gave me a farewell gift:a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. book. it's a book to commemorate the ending of the greatest TV show ever..and my favourite TV show ever. i was so touched..and i was so surprised...i'm glad i din cry in front of them. :> oh,by the way,they left one of the price tags on the book. typical of them :P
not that i din think of getting them farewell gifts..just din know what to get them. but now they've given me such a wonderful present...i feel the pressure of getting them great gifts as well.which is gonna be hard cos i have NO IDEA what guys like. ah well,i'll just have to figure something out...
germaine cancelled her sleepover here tonight. can't say i am not disappointed,but i think i am handling it pretty well compared to last time when i would probably be super upset. guess letting go of the emotional baggage i've been carrying for so long has helped to look at the brighter side of life.
and as the song in one of the Nike ad goes," always look on the bright side of life *whistling*"

"nobody can ruin your day without your permission"
friday is here.kinda feeling bored actually cos nothing to do except case presentation or assignments. actually in the library now. was trying to change the colour of my links to photos to a lighter colour..but after 30 mins of trial and error...all i got were errors. but if i move my mouse cursor over the links,they turn orange,so still can read lah hor? so sorry. html idiot like me dunno how to change it :P
today's weather is finally not too bad. the sun is actually out!but the wind is still freaking cold.ah well,can't expect too much from melbourne.i'm just glad that the sun is at least out for the morning and noon.
was on the bus on tuesday and heard this thing on the radio in the bus. the person was saying,"the 21 lessons in life. number one....." i sort of tune out until i heard the quote in my title.
surprisingly,i realised how often i "allow" others to ruin my day. be it a simple thing like "you've gained weight" to more serious stuff like "gretel,did you realise the patient almost fainted?",i always take it hard. maybe cos of my low self esteem? or maybe cause i always like to make a big fuss out of small minute details? or maybe cos i am just too sensitive?
when i first heard the quote,i wanted to laugh. because nobody is going to say "hey,XYZ,can i ruin ur day?" so how can i give someone permission to ruin my day? then i realised that the quote is trying to say that the only reason why someone's words can ruin my day is because i let the person's words get to me.a classic example of how DUH i can be huh?
it would be nice if one day someone say something nasty to me and i can actually go "ah, who cares?" that would be an ideal world..which unfortunately i dun live in, and which i think almost noone else does too. :P
in the past 2.5 years,i realised that i thrive on encouragement from others.i am not a good motivator of myself.in fact,i always end up discouraging myself. but if someone else gives me a boost,i'll really give all that i have. so when someone says something discouraging or even insulting,i take it really personal..and i take it really very hard. it takes like millions of "good job","well done","u can do it" to build my self esteem to an arbitiary value of +10...but just one simple "that's not good" can make the value crash to negative infinity (which is why it takes so much encouragement to build it up again).
so,morals of the story is
1)i need to be less concerned with how others think of me.
2)i need to learn how encourage myself
3)i need to be more able to take critism
wat a crappy entry. because i am in a crappy crappy mood.
back to case presentation.

bloody melbourne weather
it's the first official day of winter. although it felt like it was winter abt 1.5 months ago. it's gonna be a top of 13 deg for the next few days. i am in my "full battle order" for winter - 3 layers of t shirt+jumper,thickest jacket i have,beanie, gloves and scarf. but sadly, i am losing the battle to the horrendous winds that seem to penetrate all my layers. shivering and shivering...i feel like a handphone ringing on vibration mode- the caller won't hang up,the owner won't answer.
it's been so long since i stood in the sun and actually feel warm. now,the sun just hides behind all these thick grey clouds..dunno it shy or wat. people need it to come out and shower its warm rays onto us, but nope,it's gonna act shy and pretend to be a lady.
i am in a crappy mood now. the weather is the cause of it. i hate being cold and i hate being so whiney abt it. but argh!! this weather is making me want to hide inside my quilt and never step out of my bed, let alone my apt.
ah well...10 more days before i set foot back on sunny and humid singapore. this is gonna sound silly,but i actually miss being sweaty. yeah,makes me sound like a really yucky person.but i've not sweat for a long time...even when i got to the gym, all i get is this tiny little droplets on my forehead. i think not sweating is causing toxins to build up in my body...that's why i am so whiney and in such a crappy mood. :<
anyway,i've whined enough. now gotta go borrow some books for my case presentation next monday. yesh,i am actually at the library in uni right now. the atmosphere is just tensed with exam stress. everyone is walking around with a frown on their face. that's not going to be good for anyone.
ah well,who am i kidding?even i am frowning from the thought of walking back in the stupid wind. geez,really miss my warm and cosy apt now.
tata!
