steph flew off this morning... gonna miss her and have to wait till late june to see her again... and i'm really surprised that i'm still awake despite sleeping late and waking up at the unearthly hour of 630am!!! though i know that it's much of a norm for many of my friends.. but nope, i sleep an average of 14 hours each day.. and i'm not joking!!! see, i'm not laughing!!! plans to go out didn't come about, so i spent the morning till 230pm, trying to figure out what was wrong with my graphs from simulink.. a really irritating software, subset of the family of matlab!!! irritants!! and to think that i'm gonna have a test based on matlab.. don't know how am i gonna survive it since there's no time to practice and all.. thanks loads to kelvin su/ guangpeng/ cheewee/ linchun.. yeah, these folks helped me through this morning, else it will be an even more torturous journey.. for the moment, i promise not to touch matlab and simulink for some time to come!!! what the heck!! *faints*
found out quite a bit of stuff today.. not just issues which may involve me, but about other people as well.. with reference to nobody in particular, sometimes things happen for the better of all the folks involved yah.. personally, i felt that indeed, some stuff happened for the better.. jawohl!! just feeling a complete sense of liberation and freedom.. some stuff just worked out better than i thought.. think it's not gonna be an easy path to walk on, but i'm gonna walk it through still..
there are times to deceive yourself, there are times to humour yourself.. but there comes a time, when you just have to wake up and move on.. and don't look back.. feeling a little like this now.. but i'm on the last part of my statement.. yeah, i got a whole life out there, with much to explore.. and i even found myself a backpacking partner, erm, that is if everything works out.. none other than nitya.. hahhha!!! and definitely, with my desires and passions to fulfill.. gosh!! suddenly life looks more challenging and exciting than ever!! woohoo!!!
on a sidenote: i met deborah online!! missing her here man...

marvelled at how He works..
yeah, i really do wonder and all i can do is just to marvel at Him..
had a pretty busy and crazy and confusing week.. monday was a cross-island trip with carrie, taking photos of all the possible toilets we could find, in total 23 toilets, from changi airport to the singapore zoological gardens to the woodlands checkpoint, esplanade, raffles hotel etc.. even to the point of scheming to take photos of the toilets.. went down to sentosa just to visit the toilets and chanced upon this.. pretty yeah?? but the colours ain't that clear... oh yes, we're wondering when the sentosa management put this up..

went for raffles hall's cultural night on tuesday and yes, the jam-x 2005 winner, turning point, was good.. got kelvin li finally hyped up about the whole performance man.. wednesday and thursday were spent studying for pdc and mto mid-terms on friday.. which were a terrible disaster, esp. mto.. to think that i was feeling quite prepared for it coz it's the only module, which i've done the tutorials for.. but nope, it felt worse than pdc.. but just really how my Father worked... He just turned things around in His time.. pdc really felt much better.. maybe i'm being over-confident here but i just wanna sing His praises.. to add to that, there's my german test results.. yeah, i ended last week with the 'big bang' and i got the paper back this evening.. well, it was much better than i expected.. it was the best results i've ever gotten for a semester test since the days i first started learning german.. woohoo!! but it was really by His grace..
i'm just really glad over the german results.. but the highlights of the week were actually the meeting with aunty jean and cell group this evening, which i finally got to go after so long!!! meeting with aunty jean was.. i just can't put it into words but just reminds of me where i should put my focus to.. and there's cell group too.. really thankful for my parents, who came to pick me up after german classes to fetch me to cell.. today's topic was on serving and ministry.. well, close to it coz i didn't read up before going.. we went on to talk about, what is your passion and desire in life??
hmm, shall share a little bit here.. to certain extent, i do know what drives me, what my passion and desire in life is.. honestly, given me any chance, i really wanna have a job that is people-oriented.. don't ask me what am i doing in my faculty.. *laughs*.. yeah, i really want to work with people.. and you know what?? through today's cell and meeting with aunty jean, it kinda brought a new light to studying german.. it's really more than just studying now.. i don't exactly know if this is the reason why He gave me the chance to take on german, but i'm gonna approach this language with a different view now.. and yes, sometimes and most of the time, He speaks to me through people, through what discussions bring about.. and stuff that He tells me, are usually issues that i have to work through in my life..
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4
something which i've not done much but yes, gonna shift my focus a little.. was telling wei, i do need to shift my focus and put what's more impt on position 1..
oh yes, that weird 4-line poem was taken from chloe's blog.. just felt that it kinda described how i was feeling at that particular moment.. so yeah, no worries.. no biggie issue.. but was telling sean sean, that i'm a mind-over-heart person.. but there are just some stuff that i wanna be able to feel and response to.. hmm, this statement is gonna result in a pretty big confusion, so if you don't quite understand what i just typed, don't read too much into it yah!! *laughs*..
gotta hit the sack soon.. though i had more than ample rest during the mid-term break, which wasn't even a break, considering the amount of stuff that i had to do.. but peijia's right, without the break, can't imagine how we're gonna study for mto & pdc mid-terms, do reactor and pdc assignment, lab report, tutorials... so just wanna thank Him for sustaining me everyday.. steph's flying off later.. gonna go send her off so i need the sleep.. by the way, i wanna watch 'closer'.. argh!!! nitya has watched it already!!! someone give me extra time to squeeze in the movie!!! hicks..

ended with a big bang..
but jootz said that i can't say 'big-bang' coz it will mean that it's the end of the world.. erm, whatever.. but i really did end it with a big bang.. quite a big one too.. german semester test 1.. pretty drained and worried and scared and whatever other emotions.. too jumbled to say anything.. just hope that can do well for it.. i know it's dumb, but i don't exactly want to s/u the module even if i had to use my head to bang my way through.. like a few of us were saying, we don't exactly hate german yet we are just so tired of the module.. maybe that comes with all the crap that some of us went through..
hmm, before i forget.. yuping!!! happy 21st birthday!!! don't have the photos here but that babe was hot man!!! who can forget about desmond too, who we joked about the entire sunday evening that he could not decide what to wear, thus that would explain his absence.. yeah, saw some of my jc classmates.. met nicole!!! yeah, after so long.. then there's mark who went off to australia on thursday and libin is flying later today.. the guys are gonna start uni soon!!! oh my gosh!!! zhijie's thinking of switching over to nus engin.. hmm.. yeah.. caught up with some of them.. my initial plan to leave by 8pm failed.. left at 10pm instead.. but was time well-spent.. so not that it bothered me..
long week ahead.. spent v-day swooning over 6-pages worth of german vocab.. thanks to kel-li-su [ie. kelvin li & kelvin su] and dwi, who bought flowers for the girls on behalf of the class guys.. yeah, this year, the girls didn't do anything for the guys.. opps!!! for the rest of the week, just spent everyday in the company of german.. not the hunky germans but the german language.. tired, confused, numbed.. throw in a couple of assignments, the whole week went up in smokes.. salvaged the situation by having close references but spent a heck of a time to copy it.. oh wells..

couple of stuff happened over the course of this week.. some may know why but otherwise, nevermind.. mood's been osciallating pretty drastically.. maybe that's why i chose not to blog during the week, apart from the fact that i had no time.. but i guess i just don't exactly know what to do.. it's just how, whenever one tries so hard, yet nothing happens.. trying to control my emotions still.. then again, shall keep my blog a happy blog..
mid-sem break is here.. not that i'll get much rest.. too much to do with all the mid-terms and projects to do.. yeah, my toilets-tourism project.. hmm, if kendrick said that we need time for ourselves, i really want it too..

peter gabriel - book of love
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

sylvia!!! happy 21st birthday!!!
yeah.. finally a girl's 21st party!! well, there's no drunk or wet birthday boy/ girl.. everyone was kept very dry and very sane... the birthday girl is none other than the lady in yellow in front - sylvia!! oh yeah, these are all the girls who were there.. weiche, joanne chen & esther came late.. oh yeah.. jac and me were like the bell-service for syl.. had to help her put away the gifts in her room.. after lunch, we all just crowded in her room, playing bridge, big 2, uno.. small but cosy gathering.. managed to find out what's been happening to a few friends..
jasline was telling us of her birthday party.. a 4-day, 3-night chalet.. entertaining different groups of friends each day.. and if we choose to stay over for a night, we have to disappear by the next morning.. else we have to be 'marias' for her.. right!!!
went shopping with jac at jurong point, which she is so bored of.. see, ntu is just like a few bus-stops away from the central.. well, guess it beats being stuck in clementi, revolving around only 3 locations: home/ nus/ west coast food centre... not that exciting too.. but ntu is just too far away from my place.. contented with nus.. *laughs*

oh yes, here's my fellow bell-service provider: jac!!

Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.
[Refren]
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.

i don't exactly care if the singers look gay or what-so-ever... it's been so long but i still like this song all the same.. yeah, think it carried and still carries too much memories for me.. so even if the mtv is really crap and the guys are just acting cute, i still won't mind it.. the quality ain't that good but go take a look at it if you want to.. o-zone - dragostea din tei

hmm.. watched this movie with my cousins on the 1st day of chinese new year.. amanda got me so hyped up over it but it was pretty terrible.. don't exactly like the theories that the movie proposed and it kinda revolts religion and all.. i don't know.. i left the theatre feeling more confused than before.. keanu reeves is still that pale-looking.. rephrasing his 'one hero saves the world' role.. oh wells.. but guess it was the company that i really enjoyed more.. paul, gabriel, amanda... just thinking how we, cousins, can still do stuff together though we are all that old..
went down to river hong bao at night.. the crowd was terrible... too much, i was more than turned off... and i know that this is going to sound super bimbotic.. but the stupid escalator at the esplanade ruined my shoes.. oh sheesh!!! but the highlight of the day was the fireworks that i saw... in some sense, i was standing at the wrong spot to view it but it was spectacular enough for me still though i wished i was more up front.. just thinking how everything will be different if sep gets through.. and was also thinking through stuff as i walked around.. need to pray harder to hear from Him.. maybe i'll write about it some day..
chinese new year = no work done.. someone should start making me feel guilty coz there's much to do and nothing's done.. sheesh!!! oh, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

dedicated to ian ng
currently listening to: mambo jambo album
[courtesy of weiliang.. and now it's stuck to my head.. oh no!!!]
hmm, i know that this is really weird, but i'm dedicating this post to my primary 1/2 classmate whom i have not seen since primary 6 and finally once on seniors' night, as he 'gatecrashed' to pay his friends a visit, and with almost all probabilities tending to zero, i met him this evening at holland village.. just funny how, we all still look the same since primary school days..
hmm, guess it's just so nice to see friends who have gone a long way back.. spent some time catching up and i must say, new zealand kind of make ppl beef up and all.. the same thing applies to uncle steven's son.. yeah, ian's family migrated and he's going to start his honours year after this short holiday back in sunny singapore.. oh, his major is biomedical sciences.. hmm, something which i guess, a lot of us wanted to major in but unfortunately it's unavailable here..
don't think you will ever get to read this, but it was great seeing ya after such a long time.. just kinda thankful to God to be able to meet friends here and there.. and still be able to talk and yadda much about what's been up with our lives.. much to say but have loads to do.. so enjoy your last year before coming back to serve the nation.. *laughs*.. hmm, shall not be evil.. =P

hmm, guess it's just so nice to see friends who have gone a long way back.. spent some time catching up and i must say, new zealand kind of make ppl beef up and all.. the same thing applies to uncle steven's son.. yeah, ian's family migrated and he's going to start his honours year after this short holiday back in sunny singapore.. oh, his major is biomedical sciences.. hmm, something which i guess, a lot of us wanted to major in but unfortunately it's unavailable here..
don't think you will ever get to read this, but it was great seeing ya after such a long time.. just kinda thankful to God to be able to meet friends here and there.. and still be able to talk and yadda much about what's been up with our lives.. much to say but have loads to do.. so enjoy your last year before coming back to serve the nation.. *laughs*.. hmm, shall not be evil.. =P

seeking for perfection..
in my subtle pursuit of perfection, it may have come to a point, where i live my dreams on others and have driven others to attain perfection, rather than to drive myself.. but i am consciously aware that this will do no good to the other parties.. how did things lead up to this state??
on a side note, i gave the flea market at zouk a miss this afternoon.. apparently, it's pretty exciting with loads of stuff up for sale.. but i gave it a miss.. i'm so sorry girlfriends!!! hopefully the date at macs will work out..

vincent!!! happy 21st birthday!!!
this is the 2nd 21st birthday party in 2 weeks.. last week was a drunk birthday boy and today was a wet birthday boy.. vincent, our lead actor in the middle of the photo, was pushed into the swimming pool by his schoolmates.. a pretty small and quiet gathering, which made me decided that maybe i should just have a really small one of close friends.. but my close friends amount to quite a number too.. *headache*..
quite a different bbq too.. with the unusual food... quite interesting.. in all sorts of ways.. some even got a little petrified.. and suren went on telling about this really interesting clip whereby an alien got killed by a disco ball, while singing 'i will survive'... and i just can't help laughing the whole time.. anyway, we just ate and ate and talk and talk.. benedict just kept eating away, on vegetables.. hmm, not the type of diet i would prefer... not now or anywhere in the future.. but i want a 'seefood' diet.. coz i'll get to eat whenever i see food.. well, apparently, it's a old joke from uncle jeam, which jo told just now..
there will definitely be more '21st's to attend.. hmm, no wonder the guys are telling me on the possibilities of going broke.. but it's also a great time to catch up with old friends and all.. oh yah, and if there's gonna be a party, i think mine will end up being a wild one and will end late too.. opps!!

this is actually a photo from long long ago... hmm, for a closer and better look, click on the picture itself.. well, as you can see, this was taken 3 years ago.. most of us, actually all of us have changed quite a bit and moved on quite a distance too.. rovis and leena have gone over to the states due to work commitments.. yueping is now working at MOEnvironment.. emily ang & lixian have become full-fledged teachers, contributing to the future of the nation.. amelia is now working at the sports school.. margy is now on her way to a-levels.. deb's leaving for down under soon.. wei is going to graduate and enter nie.. eunice is now at fass.. tim has graduated and doing research at sgh.. emily lee has set up her own cooking website!!well, i definitely left out a lot of ppl here too.. but just that, so much have changed over the course of 3 years..
today's my more-relaxed day.. have classes only from 1600-1800 at arts.. not to mention that it's webcasted so i can afford to miss it and not miss out much.. except what t.c.chang said, the human touch of a lecture.. gonna go visit lixian at her school and meet her for lunch later.. finally able to fix up a time after such a long time.. really looking forward to the appointment later..
hmm, you must be wondering, why am i blogging at such an hour?? well, my computer is gonna go pay the 'doc' a visit tomorrow and goodness knows how long it will stay there.. well, just hope that all will go well coz i've too much stuff in there.. gonna miss my computer for some time.. and will not be able to upload any photos for some time to come.. sigh!! but i'm thankful that at least i can get it to work now..

kendrick!!! happy 21st birthday!!!
yeah, the 1st of the many 21st birthdays that i will attend this year.. and to kick start the whole chain of birthdays, we have here, our dearest classmate, kendrick.. dwi fell sick and couldn't make it.. kianyaw had ihg volleyball training and quanyi couldn't make it too.. so the attendees were: peijie, xingyi, doreen, jianz, kelvin su & kelvin li..
it was a great gathering, seeing kendrick turning the full legal age.. well, at least with respect to next thursday.. the kr ppl were there.. sheena's family was there.. and oh man, i was so close in succeeding to kidnap sheena's cousin, peixin, home!!! well, she 'disappeared' before i could find her.. really adorable kid, who went ard saying 'hello' to everyone.. and i was the part-time nanny till i handed her back to kendrick..
well, we played that silly number game.. in the end, we all ended up at the bbq pit cooking for each other.. meanwhile, kendrick got dead drunk by his dearest hall-mates, with special mention of ***.. goodness man!! he was already gone by 1015pm, which was way too early.. sheena had to hold on to him when he was blowing out his candles.. and the next moment, he was back in bed.. dead drunk!! and this is really dumb, we tried taking a photo with the birthday boy sleeping.. but it's a pretty cool idea.. and there was a post-party going on outside the chalet, while kendrick was sleeping away.. anyway, go check out the photos in my cn6 album..
i was just thinking to myself, if i am to hold a party, my guest list will be very much longer and i will be a terrible host on the day itself, coz there's so many ppl to entertain!! still thinking what shall i do for mine...

"what sort of boy are you looking for?"
intelligent and chaste
Intelligence is a major factor to you, maybe not in such a fanatical way but you truly prefer it if your boy has some sense. You would also prefer it if he has the sense to wait for the right person and doesn't think than he can wantonly give himself away because he's a boy - he takes things like that seriously. Of course, it also doesn't mean that he has to be an extreme genius or extremely naive.
~disclaimer: i'm so bored and procrastinating totally.. that explains why i did a quiz like this.. all in the name of fun.. *laughs*.. oh yes, i just watched les choristes again!! ~

hmm.. this is a really poor quality version of the poster but the better version just refused to work.. anyway, went with cherie to catch this movie today.. thought that it's really good.. the soundtrack was wonderful, the dance moves were just so great... and you know what?? richard gere is still that charming.. though you can see all the lines on his face, he still has that charisma, similar to that in both pretty woman & runaway bride.. not to mention that those 2 are amongst my all-time favourite movies.. gosh!! he just ages like fine wine..
yeah, it really reminded me of the time when we all went to learn cha-cha.. yeah, it's a long story how it ended up being cha-cha instead of salsa.. oh man, the movie reminds me of how much i want to learn ballroom dancing but sad enough, i don't have the time to spare and it's just too expensive too.. and when the opportunity comes along, i just can't seem to find time for it.. but i really want to take up ballroom dancing again.. and definitely, to learn salsa...
met steph, karin and the guys for dinner at plaza sing swensens.. just realised how much i missed seeing steph, cherie, min and the rest... and yes, min, where are you!!!?? hmm.. oh wells, shall catch ya in school.. and to top off my dinner together with a sticky chewy chocolate.. man, i'm gonna fall sick soon, eating so much stuff.. then it's really funny but we all started talking about dance classes again.. how lloyd and cherie are taking salsa classes now but at different places.. how jooteng wishes to take hip-hop but we all deemed that we are too old for it.. then again, jootz is the youngest of all.. ended up taking silly photos, which i've uploaded.. so folks, go check them out in my photo album yah!! well, edmund finally appeared at 11pm when cherie and me were about to go home..
had so much fun today.. just being with them, even if it's just walking ard, listening to army talk, taking silly photos.. guess it will be different if the company changes.. well, the guys are gonna have their own lives soon but for now, i just love the company of the whole gang.. by the way, i feel like watching the original japanese version of shall we dance.. =)

moods..
hmm, was coming back from ofn at university hall yesterday afternoon, when i met tammi.. hmm, haven't seen her for a very long time... and i really mean a really long time.. was just chatting up on stuff... fic and all... hmm, ken tan is the project director for fic this year.. and ken pan and kelvin tang are the project directors for rag & flag this year.. erm yah.. kelvin is doing rag again..
just feeling a little nostalgic then coz i was involved in these 2 projects during orientation last year.. and in a way, i was so close to taking them up again this year... but it's just how i've set my objectives this year.. to go yep with the rag comm ppl, provided that i don't disappear before that.. and definitely, preparing to leave for sep, which is something.. well, you can say that i've invested my heart into it.. well, guess this is the closure to my involvement in nussu..
hmm, can't exactly say that i'm in an extremely great mood, neither am i in an extremely foul mood.. just in the state of that whatever mood.. so weird but i can't explain it.. just read noelle's blog and she's in the blah mood.. hmm, everyone's getting moods.. must be the weather.. think i shall go rest, since i have a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg day later today..

here's weijie & me.. at die deutsche bücher section of kinokuniya.. accidental meeting though.. we were catching up a little and discussing on sep locations and modules.. anyway, i realised that i'm quite a hopeless fool when i'm in a bookstore.. i'll stay there for hours, doing pure browsing regardless of whether i'll buy anything eventually or not.. so it took me quite a while before tearing myself away from kino this evening..
