I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind
I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
And patted my back for something done right
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands...
Chorus:
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in daddy's hands.
I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands
(Chorus)
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in daddy's hands.
(Repeat Chorus)
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand T
here was always love in daddy's hands.

random ramblings
i'm now using the company's comp to blog. again. haha... i've finished keying in my orders already, if tt's wat u're wondering... okok, i'll admit, i did surf the net while keying in orders, BUT that was done coz i was trying to drag doing it. there was too little to do. hehe, and if i finished earlier, there wouldn be anything else to do u see.... =)
boring boring.
i thot of a topic i wanted to blog about just now while doing my data entry. unfortunately, it slipped my mind.
hmm... i have to change my layout. i want to design my own!! but i dunno how to do it. i dun even know how some ppl manage to get adobe photoshop. do they buy it? or do they download it? if they download it, how?!?!?! i cant seem to be able to dl it..... it keeps getting into that stupid winrar prog that unzips everything into its small components, and i DUN understand a single thing.
i wanna go shopping again!! i have this nasty feeling that i've spent WAAAAY over my budget already, and the amt of money in my bank account is dwindling. a signal to me to curb my spending. unfortunately, i cant curb the urge. the urge to go out buy something to make me feel satisfied and happy. that feeling of euphoria. that jolt of adrenaline that courses thru my veins with a purchase that i love and have lusted for a loooong time. that jolt of excitement and pleasure at finally making something that u like yours. that.... well, u get the meaning. =) it's an addiction, shopping. i can never have enough bottoms, tops, bags.... others might think they are more than enough, but.... somehow, wouldn u get sick of wearing the same things over and over again? the thrill dies off after while, rite? hmm... if i could just get some money to go shopping again... to buy clothes for uni...? after all, since i'm gonna stay at the hostel, i'll be taking quite a few clothes, and i oso have to leave some for lun, rite? ;) oh, and i need a wallet. my current one is falling to pieces. i wonder if Fossil still has that wallet i saw last yr....?

Joey
HAHA! "Joey" (the sitcom) is hilarious. hehe i cant decide if he's dumb or if he's just plain innocent and naive. while he might seem stupid in the show with his silly antics and his speech, wat he says makes sense sometimes, and is often wat we dun see until he points it out. well, at least I dun see it until he points it out. or is watever he says just his observation from a totally innocent point of view? i cant decide.
i mean, sometimes, ppl whom we might deem to be not insightful coz of their mental ability - children, autistic children etc- might sometimes make statements which surprise us, and make us realise, "yah, why didn i ever think of that?" or even realise that we have been making mountains out of molehills all along, when things were really that simple. some ppl say humans complicate lives, and i couldn agree more. when some children meet strangers, they hold nothing back, pouring out watever they think; but adults? its more often than not that they might think that they have to put up a front to perhaps impress strangers, and mebbe even complicate the whole thing, by thinking "shit. i just told him wat my parents do. would he think i'm rich/boastful for saying that?" (u know, those kind of things?). whereas children on the other hand, nvr think twice bout wat they say. wat they say is wat they feel. period. so why complicate things?
i cant say that i dun think too much bout the actions and statements of those around me, but sometimes i think that it's just so tiring to keep trying to second-guess wat the other person is trying to say or do. wat if that action was really done innocently or unconsciously? wouldn i be making a stupid fool out of myself for wasting so much energy trying to decipher wat he/she meant? but sometimes, i feel that this is easier said than done, and i guess it takes alot of self-confidence to assure urself that wat the other person said was unintentional, and had no double meaning watsoever.
hmm. or issit just me?
PS: sheesh! this entry was supposed to be gushing about "Joey". now it has turned into some kind of philosophical piece. -_-" haha, forgive me for spoiling the mood. =) (ok and now i've gone and done it again....)

Denise Keller chose "Volfgang" (Wolfgang, acty... it's how she pronounces his name. haha... )!! oh man!! poor howard looked sooooo crushed when she broke her decision to him. he looked like he didn know wat to do, and in the end he just took the first step to hug denise, and wished her all the best and to have fun in europe with wolfgang. AWWWWWWWW...
but while i had wished for howard to win the fair Denise's heart, i have to admit they didn look as nice as denise does with wolfgang and to be honest, i htink wolfgang suits her. still.........

Congratulations Tay Yi Ling, you are...
Scarlett Ting of joewei.blogspot.com
You are independent, smart and beautiful. Its too bad you don't see that yourself because life's little difficulties brought down a lot of your self confidence. As a result, you talk cryptic and you don't trust people easily. You care a lot for your friends and your loved ones, sometimes even more than you care for yourself, although they don't always seem to appreciate it. Don't let that affect you. As the saying goes, you don't miss the water till the well runs dry. So hang in there, you're a star in the making.
Work
working now, and wishing i was home. haha, yah yah i know... its bad work attitude, but well, how else can i feel when my whole family is going shopping later in the afternoon, and then going to JB for satay (dun ask me y they go to JB just to eat satay. i'm puzzled too) ? i wanna go too!!!! perhaps one advantage of not going with them is tt i'll be able to earn more money perhaps? but well, at the moment all i can think of is going out. haha... the thot of going out far outweighs the thot of money entering my bank account at the moment. =p
with the end of my working experience drawing nearer everyday (end of this month, which is 2 more weeks), i'm starting to have bittersweet emotions. when i started work at the beginning of the yr, i nvr expected to work this long, nor feel such an attachment to my fellow colleagues. while the thot of going to work (waking up early esp during the hols when everyone is still aslp) is rather irritating, seeing my colleagues does add a little sweetener to work. at least working doesn turn out so boring, coz we can talk, joke, etc in this little room of ours. so while i'm happy that my working experience is coming to an end (i can finally wake up late yay!!!), i feel a little sad that i'd have to part with these colleagues. i know i've blogged bout them b4, so i shall not bore u with the details. suffice it to say that they have made my 6 mths of work in Spring more than pleasant, and a little less afraid of wat to expect next time i come out to work. =)
i think whether one enjoys one's work really depends largely on the type of colleagues/team one has at work. otherwise, how is one expected to perform well at work if one is constantly facing strangers or, worse, ppl who dun like him/her? going to work would soon become a chore and soon, there would be a lack of motivation to work. hmm. so there would be a loss in productivity, and... well, u know wat will happen, being smart econs students u are. =)
unfortunately, though i had a rather pleasant time working at Spring, i think i'm not experiencing the full aspect of a working life.
1. i dun have any responsibilities, nor any leadership role to play. so it means little or no burden on me and i can sleep easy at nite. no responsibilities oso mean i can turn up for work and leave anytime i want. not tt i do that, mind u. i was merely listing out the reasons why i htink i might not be experiencing the full aspect of a working life. on the other hand, the full-time workers have to deal with difficult customers, worry about when the next shipment is arriving, or bout when the clients will withdraw their projects etc.
2. i'm working as a data entry worker. on top of that, i'm always enclosed inside a room, where i'm working with the same 3 other ppl. chances of meeting other ppl outside the dept or in the other parts of the company are slim. add to the fact tt i'm a temp, and the chances of me interacting with those who have nothing to do with our dept gets slimmer. thus, the commonly lamented office politics will hardly be experienced by me. well, i did experience it once in the beginning of my stint here, but i htink tt's chicken feed compared with wat others experience in larger companies or even in the bigger depts of this company.
3. i'm a temp, so no one pays any mind to me, and thus i dun get involved in office politics. not tt i wanna get involved in it, but well, we all know office politics are part and parcel of one's working life.
4. i'm still young (relatively to the other staff in the company), so the adults usually take care of me like i'm still this little girl. therefore, not much or nothing is held against me when i say or do somethign tt might sound a mite childish. =)
5. one company doesn represent all of them.
ok. i think all the reasons have to do with the fact that i'm a temp and my age, but u get the picture. =)
now tt i've finished keying in all the order entries, guess i'll surf the net to while away the time... yah, and get fat while sitting down. -_-"

What A Girl Wants?
watched Eye For A Guy 2 last night. it was season finale part 1, where the last 2 guys remaining each got to spend a full day with Denise Keller (DK) and make one last attempt to win her heart. i must say, wat each of them did was great and very daring. each put their hearts and prides on the line, and planned 2 wonderful days to spend with her. wat each did was bound to make any girl get swept off her feet. howard brought DK to the carnival, where they had a portrait done together oso, of howard carrying DK, and the 2 of them in swimming suits. then they went on to dinner where he presented her with a fairy tale with her as the main character. it was a fairy tale written in poetry form to boot! then, they went back to the carnival, and started dancing in the moonlight- after he had kissed her. the whole scene was so wonderfully romantic. any girl was bound to feel as if she's the world's luckiest girl if she was in DK's shoes. =) the scenes of howard and DK were so sweet!! haha, it made me wanna support him in winning over DK. i mean, he always manages to think of ways to get her to notice him, and make her laugh. the things he does are not extravagant, but it did convince me that watever he did for her was done with her in mind, solely her. the video in the last episode wasn fantastically made with special effects etc, but they just captured his sincerity. his gestures strike me as innocent, with the sole intent on making DK happy. yep.
wolfgang... he's suave, charismatic, and the perfect gentleman in the sense that he knows the proper things to say or do. he impressed me when he managed to handle the situation regarding the "Little Red Box" pretty well. while all the other guys were disturbing him bout it, he was just calmly handling it. he impressed DK's friends, particularly her female friend, who asked pretty direct qns and was rather... well, a little on the catty side. he just calmly answered all her qns, and there seemed to be no pretences put on when he answered the qns. it seemed like he had nothing to hide. well, tts wat i could see on tv. i wouldn know in real life =) after all, the way they lead their lives is more than the 1/2 hour we see weekly on Ch 5 rite? wolfgang is smooth and confident in his pursuit of DK, and thing is, he's confident in every situation he's put into, and tt is a trait that would impress girls, since it brings a sense of security, isn it?
yep, so there u have it. 2 guys with 2 different wooing tactics. which would u go for? the one who makes u feel like u are the centre of his universe and goes all out to make u feel treasured thru gestures which are not necessarily extravagant? or the one who's worldly, confident, and sophisticated?
haha, if u ask me, a mix would be nice, but how many ppl are there who are like tt? after all, which girl wouldn like to be wined and dined? on the other hand, which girl wouldn like to receive gestures that are so sweet and sincere? not to say tt wining and dining doesn show sincerity, but someitmes, sincerity is not necessarily shown thru the amt of money one spends, rite?
think bout it.

We are what we eat, wear, read
found this article that was linked to one of the blogs i was surfing. aint it true to the title of today's entry?
Love thy stuff
Consumer identity is shaped by love of objects
How does the saying go? Love what you drive, don't drive what you love? The premise is that a sturdy, reliable car is a more prudent purchase than a flashy, speedy car. Whether practical or not, an article in the June 2005 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research reveals that love of one's possessions can play an exceptionally important role in a person's identity.
"Consider the vast number of objects and consumption activities that come and go in our lives; groceries, hobbies, vacations, clothing, clubs, gifts, tools, cars, movies, investments, computers, newspapers, art, books, furniture," argues Aaron Ahuvia (University of Michigan). "From this vast sea only a handful are loved. It is not surprising then that these few loved objects and activities play a special role in consumers' understandings of who they are as people."
Ahuvia's research explores how consumers construct their perceptions of who they are. In creating a narrative of self, possessions play an essential role.
"The people and things we love have a strong influence on our sense of who we are," explains Ahuvia. "This article investigates the possessions and activities that consumers love, and their role in the construction of a coherent identity narrative."
In today's world of consumerism, notes Ahuvia, it's impossible for a person's relationship with objects--some of which they love--to not impact who they are and who they want to be.
"Sometimes love-objects assist with symbolically demarcating the boundary between the self and identities that the consumer rejects. In other instances love-objects help to symbolically support an identity which combines potentially conflicting aspects of self--such as tensions between the consumer's past identity versus the person they want to become, or the conflicts between ideals of who the consumer should be, which are advocated by socializing agents."

yesterday, today, and.... mebbe tomorrow
we took half day off yesterday, the whole data entry dept. crystal didn go for work, so we met her at orchard. haha, we meant to have lunch at Crystal Jade, but in the end we ended up at coffee club in takashimaya. ooohhhhh!! the tiramisu al cafe is glorious!! i was in heaven during the 15 minutes i savoured the cake. i'm salivating rite now. oh man....... *desktop is flooded with saliva* (okok i know i'm disgusting)
it was so fun going out with jes, shirley and crystal. we went to the different boutiques in taka- LV, burberrys, gucci etc. it was my first time going into such boutiques, and well, it was a nice experience. haha, dun say i've nvr been there lar. anyway, the stuff there are soooo expensive! goodness, one LV watch costs above $2000, and there was one tt cost $22 000 +++!! *whistles* thing is, it was CROWDED in LV k... i suppose there was a sale on, but to be honest, it didn seem like one to me. or maybe i'm too suaku lar. haha... jes was looking for a key pouch cum coin purse for her bf, so tts the reason y we were in those boutiques. wow, we really walked the whole of taka k... and i wore the wrong footwear. -_-" i was wearing slippers. oh man. if i had known we were gonna walk so much, i would have worn sports shoes. hahahahaa... oooh and i almost bought 2 pairs of slippers at charles and keith, but i had to think twice bout it coz i wasn v sure if i have the clothes to match it and if i would wear it often. oh yes, not forgetting the price. i'm STILL waiting to go thailand or some other shopping paradise to shop. i think singapore's gss doesn seem like much of a sale leh.... nonetheless, i still feel like going. contradictory, arent i?
lun's at her Leo Camp today, and it'll last till tml. hai... much as i hate to admit it coz her head will inflate so much tt we will have to move into an airplane hangar, i'll miss her, coz there wun be anyone to tok to me!!!!!! hai... oh yes, and while she was packing last night, i found a good excuse for shopping- we need a toiletries bag. yes, we do. haha, lame reason though it seems, it's a good enough reason to get my adrenaline coursing thru my veins. or issit the caffeine tts running thru my veins now? anyways, i'm on a high now.
wat should i eat for lunch today? just had burger king for breakfast, and thus have no appetite for lunch. nothing stirs my palate now, coz i'm soooooooo full! the thot of food now turns my stomach a little.
thank god it's friday today man... i'm falling asleep at my desk already, but unfortunately i still have to drum up enthusiasm to go help CS outside. they're overloaded with work theses days, and thus need our help. unfortunately, though i'm in data entry dept and it was agreed that we would help with data entry should CS need it, i'll have to do the Undels later. oh, Undels are the undeliverables. bleah. its a simple task lar, but boring and tedious. oh yah, and it takes up alot of space.
tml.... i hope to go out, but i think its unlikely, coz von has to study, my father is going to work, and my mother...... hm i think she;s working oso. so i'm like the free-est person in the house. oops. i htink i'm gonna have to bathe schnoozee. it sounds easy, but do u know wat it entails? carrying him into the toilet where he will act as if i'm gonna slaughter him or try to drown him with a shower head, and then fighting with me over the towel which is supposed to be used to dry him, and then struggle as i carry him to the common area to let him dry in the sun, and there he will fight for the towel with me again and run around like a mad dog. there i will be, sweaty and wet and smelly. wow. okok, to be fair, he's a cute li'l guy. when he's being bathed, he'll look at u with those innocent blue-black eyes and his fringe falling in his face, which just melts ur heart i tell u.... he'll look at u, as if saying, "ok, u got wat u wanted, i have to trust u now, but pls drown me with as much compassion as u can muster." yah... and after tt, when he's drier, he'll run downstairs to look for his beloved evon, leaving me- the one who bathed him and suffered his scratches- to clear up the mess he made upstairs. tok about gratitude. tsk tsk. nonetheless, i still love him. ;)
ok. this is a boring entry and i sound bitchy. shoot me someone!!
going to slp. bye.
it was so fun going out with jes, shirley and crystal. we went to the different boutiques in taka- LV, burberrys, gucci etc. it was my first time going into such boutiques, and well, it was a nice experience. haha, dun say i've nvr been there lar. anyway, the stuff there are soooo expensive! goodness, one LV watch costs above $2000, and there was one tt cost $22 000 +++!! *whistles* thing is, it was CROWDED in LV k... i suppose there was a sale on, but to be honest, it didn seem like one to me. or maybe i'm too suaku lar. haha... jes was looking for a key pouch cum coin purse for her bf, so tts the reason y we were in those boutiques. wow, we really walked the whole of taka k... and i wore the wrong footwear. -_-" i was wearing slippers. oh man. if i had known we were gonna walk so much, i would have worn sports shoes. hahahahaa... oooh and i almost bought 2 pairs of slippers at charles and keith, but i had to think twice bout it coz i wasn v sure if i have the clothes to match it and if i would wear it often. oh yes, not forgetting the price. i'm STILL waiting to go thailand or some other shopping paradise to shop. i think singapore's gss doesn seem like much of a sale leh.... nonetheless, i still feel like going. contradictory, arent i?
lun's at her Leo Camp today, and it'll last till tml. hai... much as i hate to admit it coz her head will inflate so much tt we will have to move into an airplane hangar, i'll miss her, coz there wun be anyone to tok to me!!!!!! hai... oh yes, and while she was packing last night, i found a good excuse for shopping- we need a toiletries bag. yes, we do. haha, lame reason though it seems, it's a good enough reason to get my adrenaline coursing thru my veins. or issit the caffeine tts running thru my veins now? anyways, i'm on a high now.
wat should i eat for lunch today? just had burger king for breakfast, and thus have no appetite for lunch. nothing stirs my palate now, coz i'm soooooooo full! the thot of food now turns my stomach a little.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda
People say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now "Shoulda woulda coulda", means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love I put aside, cause I was busy loving something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go
Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..
Now "Shoulda woulda coulda", means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool
Now "Shoulda woulda coulda", means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool...

Memories
smells can trigger lots of memories. just today, the smell of the perfume i'm wearing now brings back many memories; in particular, memories of year 1. haha... i guess tt's coz i wore this scent when i was in yr 1. =) memories of lit classes, econ lectures (of all things) and TP were the clearest memories. as i keyed order entries at work, images of when i was in yr 1 kept drifting idly into my mind. weird... haven thot bout yr 1 for quite awhile, esp bout econ lectures, and now, i feel like i'm back in tt time, mugging and doing essay outlines for miss wee, and rushing thru the lit logbooks just before lit lesson, particularly reynolds'. images of the 'mini-gathering' in the canteen before flag raising oso appeared in my mind- mel, her cj, TP... and esp the time before the yr 2s' physics prelims. haha, TP's classmates were crowding around asking him qns. i remember feeling damn extra down there at that time. haha... everyone tokking bout physics, and there i was, doing a hist essay outline. -_-" how different can tt be?
which brings back doubts and uncertainties regarding things done in the past. could i have done tt better? wat would have happened if i had done this? wat would have happened if i had done otherwise? would the result have been any different from now? is tt the beauty of memories? the imperfection of it, tt makes it all the more real and treasured and the most thot about? after all, the fact tt we are unable to amend anything tt happend in the past probably makes us feel helpless, and we thus keep thinking back on it and wondering. perhaps its thus treasured, coz we cant bear to tear ourselves away from thinking wat could be done, wat shouldn have been done in the memory, and thus arent able to let go of it? perhaps some ppl can acty let go of the past and not look back, but come on, have they NEVER thot back to their past and viewed some memories with regret, and some with joy? or issit that they CHOOSE not to think bout them, and stuff the memories into a box in their brains marked "PAST: DO NOT OPEN"? or do they just forget bout it? or does it just occur naturally?
i know we have to learn to let go of the past, but does letting go mean forgetting?
do optimistic ppl find it better to let go?

Messing Around
i'm soooooo sleepy now!! yawn~~~ still at spring, where we have FINALLY finished keying in the orders. i cant imagine if i had to key ALL the entries today. think i'll just die. haha... crystal and shirley are supposed to do order testing from yesterday to tml, so since jes is on leave, i have to be the only one to cover the order entries. unfortunately, the new system is faulty today, so order testings cant be done after all, so... i had help today! much as i would like to try finishing the orders by myself, the sad truth is that i'm unable to do so. *sob sob* i tried doing so yesterday, and ended up almost killing myself. oh man!!
next news. i'm gonna extend my work at spring till the end of june. wow. its extended by another 2 weeks. i agreed partly coz of the extra money i'd be able to earn, and oso coz they;re short of staff here. goodness knows wat the hr dept is doing. they haven found a new worker yet. i feel quite sad bout not being able to leave earlier though, coz there goes 2 weeks of my potential hol!!! *sniff sniff* ah well... hopefully the money will more than make up for it.
i'm so bored at the office now. i think u can tell it from the contents of this blog. totally random and without any emotion. haha. bye.

'Sarcasm' Brain Areas Discovered
Scientists say they have located the parts of the brain that comprehend sarcasm - honestly.
By comparing healthy people and those with damage to different parts of the brain, they found the front of the brain was a key to understanding irony.
Damage to any of three different areas could render individuals unable to understand sarcastic comments.
The Israeli team from Haifa University told Neuropsychology how their findings might help to explain autism features.
Autistic children can have problems interpreting sarcasm as well as other social cues such as emotions.
This same skill is sometimes lost in people with brain damage, suggesting similar brain regions may be involved in autism.
Brain scan studies of autistic children have shown that they have different activity in the frontal lobe to other children.
Dr Simone Shamay-Tsoory and colleagues studied 25 people with prefrontal lobe damage, 16 with damage to the posterior lobe of the brain and 17 healthy volunteers.
They played the study participants tape-recorded stories, some sarcastic and some neutral.
An example of sarcasm was "Joe came to work, and instead of beginning to work, he sat down to rest. His boss noticed and said to Joe 'don't work too hard.'"
In fact, what Joe's boss actually meant by his comment was "you are a slacker".
In the neutral version Joe came to work and began work immediately. His boss made the same "don't work too hard" comment, but this time, he actually meant that Joe was a hard worker.
The volunteers who had damage to their prefrontal lobes were unable to correctly interpret the sarcastic story, while all of the other participants could.
Anatomy
Dr Shamay-Tsoory said this fitted with what is already known about the anatomy of the brain.
She said language areas on the left hand side of the brain interpret the literal meaning of words and the frontal lobes and the right side of the brain understand the social and emotional context.
An area called the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex then integrates the literal meaning with the social/emotional context, which will reveal any sarcasm.
"A lesion in each region in the network can impair sarcasm, because if someone has a problem understanding a social situation, he or she may fail to understand the literal language," she said.
A spokeswoman from the National Autistic Society said: "The causes of autism are still being investigated.
"Many experts believe that the pattern of behaviour from which autism is diagnosed may not result from a single cause.
"There is strong evidence to suggest that autism can be caused by a variety of physical factors, all of which affect brain development." --- BBC News
Well. now we know where we are able to understand irony and sarcasm. I always thot irony was somethign tt was learnt, and hence programmed into the brain. now i know better. aint it cool to learn tt bout the brain? =)

Your #1 Match: ENFJ |
The Giver You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed. Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections. Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine. You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist. |
haha... so does that mean i chose the right course for uni? not sure bout social situations though,... i dun like big crowds, and i sure as certain dun shine in them.....
You Are Strawberry Pocky |
 Your attitude: fresh and sweet Comforting, yet quirky ... quietly hyper You always see both sides to everything |
hehe bernice jiejie, well i got strawberry flavour, a "yummy flavour" as u put it.. =) but seriously, i think green tea's great too! it looks so calm and well, green.... but issit really sold on the market?

"Whose Line Is It Anyway" is HILARIOUS!! haha... i know i know, i'm lagging by many yrs regarding this show, but it was only recently that i finally got round to downloading it and watching 2 episodes of them. haha... and i must say, it's good. no wonder i hear such rave reviews bout it from ppl who have watched it. =)
had a WONDERFUL breakfast today. haha... been looking forward to buying Burger King meal breakfast for bout a month already, but due to my typical procrastination, i haven got a chance to eat it until today. -_-" why? u may ask. well, i had a coupon for the breakfast bout a month ago, and i kept it until it expired. THEN i received another same coupon, and i still kept it. until today. haha... i meant to buy Mc's big breakfast (jes gave me the coupon... its $2.50 for a big breakfast... is it cheaper i wonder?), but for some reason, lately when i wanna buy Mc, i cant seem to meet a queueless Mc. Today, unfortunately, was no exception. there was a Long queue there. argh. a big crowd in fact. why issit then when i dun wan to buy Mc, there's no queue, and when i wan to, there is a long queue?!!??! and i jsut ate q-bread yesterday, all becoz smart me had left my wallet in the office the day before. applaude me, darlings. NO WAY am i gonna waste more money buying something which i had no intention of buying (well, unless it's an emergency). $1.30 for a bun is expensive u know... it's not as if my salary can stretch THAT far.....
I hope my father has sent the digicam for repair... i wanna take pics of schoozee to put up!! and hopefully of jes, crystal and shirley... haha... though i think they'll be quite unwilling to, and it does seem like i'm makign a big fuss out of my first workign experience, arent i? hai... but they have made my working experience so comfortable and great. it's like, though we have rather large age gaps btw us (one of them can be my mother liao... ) they never made me feel like I'm too young to tok to them, or made me feel conscious of my age. instead, they all included me in all their conversations, and often oso share their viewpoints with me. i mean, ppl of different ages have different ways of thinking, so when we tok in the office, i feel like i have learnt 3 different viewpoints from the one i hold. furthermore, i can get an inkling of how ppl of various ages view the same issues. well i know 3 ppl of different ages is barely enough to form a conclusion, but somehow, the difference in their views is evident. i'm not saying those of the same age will share the same views, but rather the mentality and the degree with which they look at things are different. yep. back to wat i was saying before. besides making me feel like i belong, they take care of me. haha, i'm the youngest there, so they often take the time to explain their experiences to me, and advise me. yah yah i know... sounding sappy here... but thinking bout 4 weeks later, when i'll not be working there anymore, i feel a little sad. it feels only like yesterday when i was a new worker there and jes was giving me the cold shoulder. yep, she did! haha, and she continued to do so for the next few weeks. oh man... the first few weeks were the most anxious ones... haha, coz not only was i anxious bout doing my job well, i was anxious to get along well with everyone i was working with. jes not tokking to me made me feel... well.. it made me feel uncomfortable. haha, then crystal told me she's like tt with all the temps, so... yah... it was only recently that i asked her bout it. hehe... she said she usually observes first. hmm... i guess i passed her observations then... *crosses fingers* anyway, i'll miss all of them when i have to leave, but i'm also kinda looking forward to stopping work, coz i wannna sleep! yes, lazy, i know, but i do miss waking up late and having totally nothing to do!! hee... but the money's attractive, and so's the company at Spring.
sheesh! i'm digressing! yah, i just asked my father, he hasn sent the digicam for repair... hai... frankly, i wish we could get another digicam....... but it's friggin expensive... hai... i'm currently salivating over the Sony Cybershot. Oooooh!! it's so super ultra slim, and looks so sleek! but well, the price is sleek too... it costs bout $700 ++ at best denki. wonder how much it costs in sim lim? anyways, i am in no financial position to get one for myself. if i do, i'll prob have to work another month at spring.not tt i'm complaining, but if i do, there goes my sleep... *waves byebye to sleep*
yes. the cd i still owe my friend. it's been with me for the past yr, and i've been msging him for every week for the past month (except for the last 2 weeks). every week ok.... now i'm wondering if i should msg him. haha... i mean, i've been msging like almost every week, i feel so paiseh now leh. on the other hand, if i stop meging, would it seem like i'm insincere bout returning the cd? could someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE advise me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'M BEGGING U!! yep, u. =)

Dear Peke,
It's been a year since u left, and haha, there's not a day when we dun tok about u and remember the things u used to do, and compare u with schnoozee, whom we got bout 3 mths after u left, coz the house just felt so empty and lonely and von and lun were moping about the house. do u know, von even got my parents to buy her terrapins so that she could have something to take care of? though i balk at the idea of taking care of terrapins coz i think they are boring and troublesome to look after, i can understand y she needed that. she needed the distraction, and she needed someone to care for. she used to take such good care of u, remember? she was always the one who bathed u, who put ur tick medicine on u etc? i think she was quite devastated on the day u left. papa said he could see/sense her collapsing when the vet said u had to be put down. it was the next kindest thing to do for u, seeing as u were in such pain. if u had not been put down that day, perhaps u might have left us the next day, or the day after. but the person in the most pain was perhaps von already, coz she was the one who was the closest to u, and u, her. she had to make the decision to put u down, and... well, i can just imagine the pain she went thru to come to that decision. i mean, when u love someone, set him/her free. u were in pain and difficulty, i think she oso couldn bear to see u suffering anymore either. thanks for the 8 yrs u gave us, peke. they'll always be in my memory. =)
i put ur picture on my desktop in the office, and after keying my orders, sometimes i would just look at ur pic and smile. the pic was quite well taken, if u ask me. they capture the softness of ur fur, and ur large, expressive eyes that always gave away any indication that u were pissed off and was getting ready to bite us. when i see that pic, peke, it almost feels like i could reach thru the comp to touch u, u know, that little corner under ur mouth? i used to like tickling u there. i can see it in the photo now, and man! do i wish so much to be able to tickle u there again. haha... the photo looks so real, so touchable, that sometimes when i stare at u for too long, i kinda manage to kid myself into thinking u are still alive. u look so alive inside! it's only when i remind myself that schnoozee is at home instead of u that i realise u have been gone, and i shan't ever get to touch u again, however much i wish to, and that thot immediately brings me to another thot: u have turned to ashes already. a year ago, i couldn bear to imagine u being thrown into a pile among other dogs to be sent to the crematorium, where, from the once recognisable and active peke u were, u had become an unrecognisable and... well, a pile of ash that no one can be sure it is u. a year later, i still can't. i just cant bring myself to think of u as a pile of unrecognisable ashes in goodness knows where- probably in someone's potted plants or something- and relate u to a concrete version of u.
the above may seem like i'm using schnoozee as ur substitute, but i dun think so. schooze is himself. there's no similarity btw the 2 of u, though we wish he wasnt as hyper as u, and that he knew where he could do his business and where he couldn. i wish u could tell me wat made u stop peeing in the house. nonethelss, he's a gem of a dog, as were u. both of u have ur individual personalities, which i bet all my money that none of the other dogs have. perhaps it's coz animals have characters just like humans do, but i like to think that it's coz both of u are unique. call it self-delusionary, but i like tt thot. hahaa.. =)
peke, i hope u are fine, healthy and happy wherever u are, if there is indeed a heaven and hell,or an afterlife. we all miss u lots. =)

sheesh. heels are hell to walk on i tell u. haha, its so hard to balance and walk! and i kinda suspect the slippers are just a tad too small, though they fit comfortably. they feel tight though. oh man... just when i thot i could go home in a car, i remembered i'm gonna meet yanting today to return her her Da Vinci Code. not blaming u, yanting, i'm blaming my shortsightedness. =) and i never knew that i had to avoid drains- u know, those with the grates on them, the bars?- when wearing heels. the heels tend to get caught between the bars. -_-" that happened several times this morning when i was rushing to the bus stop to catch my bus. luckily it didn get trapped too far in the grates, but... i'm still not counting my lucky stars. =p on the bright side though, i think i might have kicked my bad habit of shuffling my feet when wearing slippers!!! yay! tt's the reason y u seldom see me wearing footwear without straps when i go out. i'd much rather wear shoes. and i still prefer shoes. =)
ok, gonna help von set up her blog account before its too late. bye! =)

ok jt and jp- i've done my research, and i've found tt jetstar asia has better flight timings to and form bangkok, and that first hotel is better than asia hotel in that it's cheaper. other than tt, asia hotel is definitely more convenient than first hotel, coz it's linked to the mrt station, which means we dun have to walk v much to our desitnations!!! yay! erm... i tried to post it up here, but its too much info... haha... will print it out and let's see wat happens k?
frankly, i dun really think this trip will materialise, coz firstly, my financial state, and second, global probs- terrorism. sheesh! just heard on the radio that southern thailand is threatened yet again by terrorists. argh. i know bangkok is not near the south of thailand, but it sure is enough reason for my parents to disallow me from going there. hai... not tt i can argue with tt. if they were to be the ones to go thailand, leaving von, lun and me behind, i would strongly discourage them from doing so too. after all, we wouldn know wat would happen there rite? nonetheless, the trip might be fun too, if indeed it materialises. shopping galore and shopping with friends! it'd be a different experience travelling with friends. fun fun fun! haha, guess i'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best when i ask my parents again sometime in july... wish me luck k? ;)
anyone wants to come too? =)
tempted to buy the Book of Answers too, but i'm a little apprehensive. haha... remember the book, xf and jp? ;)

| Your Birthdate: February 20 |
| Your birth on the 20th day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your reading. The 2 energy provided here is very social, allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are very prone to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil. It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in. When things are going well, you can go just as far the other way and become extremely affectionate. |
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
Friday, May 06, 2005
yay!! day off today! unfortunately, it's oso don and siying's last day at work today, so cant see them... hai... shall miss them lots =) haha, and don's entertainment. =D
just brought schnoozee downstairs for a walk, and in the end, it WASNT a walk at all. it was a RACE. yep, u heard rite. the moment the elevator doors opened, he DASHED out, leaving me running after him holding onto the leash for dear life. goodness... i almost fell down so many times ok?! besides, the leash is not the retractable kind, so while he was rushing ahead, he was oso pulling on the leash. as a result, he was choking as he was running. argh. and there i was, racing to catch up with him. do u know how long i haven been running? and to run like i did just now was certainly tiring ok... run, stop, run, stop, pick up his shit, run, stop, run, stop, pick up his shit.... the process went on 3 times k... yep, that's how much faeces he has inside him. i was sweating BULLETS by the time we went back upstairs. and u know wat? the moment he was let back inside the house, he shitted again. YES HE DID! one would think that after clinching so many 'big deals' downstairs he would have finished. but NOOOOOO.. he had a 'merger' to clinch. sheesh. a VERY big merger this one was, too. -_-" ok. i dun quite like to use the word "shit", coz i think it's quite a colloquial term, and sounds a little... rude... hee... so are there any other terms anyone can suggest besides faeces? "doing business" is not not bad, but it's a little long... haha =)
back to schnoozee. and now, he's walking around the house like he owns it, biting anything that looks bite-able, which is, well, anything he lays his eyes on. even stones. yep. those who have seen my house will know that there are alot of stones and shells in the living room. yah, he bites shells too, and some of the stones have been bitten into half. uh huh, u heard it rite. i dunno wat kind of dog i have, but i'm sure he's not normal. he takes great delight in chewing wires, and LEAVES. particularly long and yellowed ones. i dunno y, dun ask me, but i've a hunch that it's coz they are crunchy, particularly in this weather. do u know, he has bitten off TWO friggin' fax wires already? he bites off the heads CLEAN off the wires, and some of the copper wires inside have been exposed. do u know, i really wonder if he can live as long as peke did, or even longer. he's gonna kill himself one day from chewing anything and everything he can in the house.
he's a murderer too!! he eats beetles and lizards! yuck! while i absolutely detest lizards, i htink its damn cruel of him to do so. argh. yah yah, i know he's just a dog, and he doesn know any better, but peke never did anything like tt before!!!
ok i better stop now and go look after him before he turns my whole house upside down and makes it such a mess i absolutely have to kill him. bye and have a nice day! =)

*blinks hard* my eyes are so tired now!! and they are making it dry as a result. oh man... i'm so tempted to close my eyes and sleep. not tt i can't, coz i've finished my work for the day and there's nobody in the room (acty, even with ppl in the room, i still can, coz we're in the room, so no one can see... haha =)), but coz i'll end up feeling groggy and disoriented later. haha. and on the 'goody goody' side, it's unethical to sleep during working hours. *wags an admonishing finger at imaginary audience*.
it's boring!!! i need retail therapy. yes yes, i know i just had it with von and lun last fri, but it isn enough lar... we only started walking around at like 8 something, and we barely covered the whole first level of far east. yep, tt's rite. it was SLOW. loved dinner that nite- if it can be counted as dinner in the first place. haha... we went to shi lin, the taiwan snack shop (xiao3 chi1, as it's called) to buy their fried chicken which i hear from quite a lot of ppl tt's quite nice. lun was interested in their oyster mee sua (which i think was not v wonderful, if u know wat i mean), and so we got a takeaway of tt as well on top of ordering beer battered fish and chips from Chippy, the British takeaway next door. welll..... . the chicken was not bad, quite crispy, the oyster mee sua.... read above comments, fish and chips... ok lar- the fries were not bad, but the fish tasted kinda weird. all in all, i loved the dinner tt night coz of the novelty. =) ooooo and the next highlight: we had gelare! 3 of us shared a tropical fruity sundae, which had 3 scoops of differently flavoured ice cream of our choice, with strawberries, bananas, and a BIG PEACH. love peaches!! and wafer oso. =) wild strawberry was a bit of a disappointment, coz we were looking forward to eating something tt was a little sour. passionfruit and raspberry sorbet satisfied our craving, but wild strawberry tasted more like strawberries and cream. not bad, just tt we were looking for somehting more sour.
looking forward to this fri. taking one day leave, and then meetign von and lun for songfest in the evening. hahahahaha. heard utt is going there, but dunno how accurate the info is. hopefully the candidates for songfest will be as good as the past yrs this yr. =)

cant wait for tml!! going out with von and lun shopping tml! hope i can find good bargains and nice clothes, but does orchard rd have any? when's the great singapore sale ah?
jesmine is just regaling us with stories of the animal world. do u know, ants infiltrate other colonies with the aim of conquering the ant hole? they infiltrate the colony, give birth to their 'own people', then when they have enough of their own people, they kill the queen ant of the infiltrated colony, then tt's when they take over the whole colony. they do tt coz the compartments in the ant hole are difficult to build, so if they take over an ant hole, they dun have to spend anymore time building one more. lazy rite?
here's another fun fact:
when u are chased by killer bees, DO NOT jump into the water. a commonly held belief is that the bees will fly off after u submerge urself in water, but its NOT TRUE!! they'll wait above the water for u to resurface, and when u've done so, they attack u. so clever rite? how ever did they guess that's wat we would do?
oh yah, here's another:
when a bee is killed by someone or something, b4 it dies, it will send a signal to its hive, informing the other bees of its danger. this signal is then picked up by its comrades, who will then rush out of the hive to try to save it. kinda reminds u of gangs rite? like u beat me up, i bring my brothers to come beat u up! rite?
wow, insects have human instincts too eh? like the ants- humans behave like tt in wars too, dun they?
anymore fun facts from jesmine shall be posted up asap =)

This is a test i did just now... "what kind of procrastinator are u?"
Eager Beaver
For you, every idea that comes up is appealing. Every cause seems worthy. Every activity sounds great. Every person needs you. News flash: Nobody can do it all! Though you're brilliant when you're interested in a project, the trouble is you have too many to keep track of. You procrastinate because you're overwhelmed, overbooked and overall too busy. You want to live life to the fullest, but all your lofty ambitions make you feel like the world's worst procrastinator.
Quick Tip:
First of all, take a look at the activities and priorities in your life and make sure your schedule's not stuffed with things that aren't that important to you. What can you eliminate? Even if you can only drop one meeting or activity a month, that's a step to finding the time to complete the important goals in your life.
Then start scheduling "just say no" time. Block out a day, or a portion of a day, to catch up -- planning, goal setting, errand running or reevaluating -- and decline invitations, activities, meetings or requests during that time. Don't answer the phone messages or emails (unless you're getting caught up on returning them). Giving yourself the time to focus on the most important tasks will make it easier to complete them.
Prioritize. Start making a list of projects you've been meaning to do and decide which three need to be done by the end of this month. Writing lists helps you see you have far fewer projects than the million you thought you were juggling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, thats quite true acty, which i guess is the reason y i often seem to be bursting at the seams.... oh, the test is brought to u by http://quiz.ivillage.com/health/tests/procrastinator.htm
they have many more tests there... including wat body type u are etc... for females only though... ;)

i've just been inspired to draw an analogy of life. if u'll remember, i used to have this nickname on msn: "Life is game. Choose to win", remember? well, i just felt an urge to expound further on it now. =)
life is like a game- we already established tt. so the opportunities that come our way are like the bonus items that we have to collect on our journey to complete our quest, like to make us stronger, healthier, extend our lives, etc. yep, these opportunities, or bonus items, help us to enrich our lives, and go further onwards in our journey for perhaps an extended period of time. how bout the setbacks we face? well, those are the obstacles we meet when we are on our journey. u know, the snakes, the sharks, those little evil things crawling around in the games? we gain experience when we learn how to deal with each of them. in the game, we usually slowly learn how to defeat each of these obstacles or evil creatures, because we have been defeated by them before. similarly, in life, after we face a setback, we gain the experience and learn how to deal with each of them, and ultimately defeat them. so defeating these evil creatures again arm us with the knowledge of how to deal with the game, wat to expect further on, and be prepared for it. but we have to be careful not to become too cynical and expect the unexpected, coz sometimes the game might throw us a surprise. let's say a particular mushroom in a super mario game is a different pattern from all the rest of the mushrooms. are we gonna shoot it or smething coz we think that since its a different kind of mushroom we are gonna treat it as a poisonous one? wat if it was a mushroom that could get us one level up?
one more thing: some might say i'm too idealistic to acty mention this, but another similarity btw the 2 is that both life and games can be restarted. there is no game over, unless, of course, the battery dies- literally and metaphorically, of course. there is always a chance to re-start. after all, that's one of the ways we can gain the experience to deal with similar evil creatures, rite? once bitten, twice shy- how can we be shy the second time if we didn have a chance to restart after being bitten the first time? tt's my reasoning of the above saying.
haha, am i being too idealistic or simplistic here in comparing life to a game? give me ur comments, k? liven up my tag board! PLEASE!!!!

WHOA... though it didn reach as high a quantity as on mon, it was 500+... ivy and i are still struggling thru them. oh man... i still had like 22 of them left b4 i left the office, and i COULD have got them done by the time i finished work, if not for the fact tt the stupid system was down. hai... now i have to complete those on mon morning. sheesh, and those are the only entries left lor... the rest of the nz orders have been closed already. au's not done yet.
made a STUPID mistake yesterday!! i keyed the orders into the freaking wrong cage! oh, a cage is somewat like the batch no, so just imagine a real cage, and the orders are being keyed into the cage, and when we have finished, the cage is closed. can imagine? yep. yah, so the orders couldn be found, and the worst thing is, the mistake was found like the day AFTER the cages were closed and the quantities were reported. how bloody wonderful am i can u tell me? tt's a STUPID thing to do. argh. as if we dun have enough probs from tt person in charge of this proj. not the one from spring, the one our client's company decided on to oversee this proj. hai... she's been giving us more and more additional work to do, as if the work she has given us is not enough. seriously! we are doing DATA ENTRY, mind u, not LOGISTICS or STATISTICS. do u know, at one time, we had to go thru each product and count the number of orders that had the customers' DOBs? crazy rite? at tt time, it wasn too bad, coz the quantities were rather small. but can u imagine going thru them when the quantities are as high as this week's? we'd just die and goodness knows the amt of backlog we would have. then, after this was called off, the person i/c acty suggested going into prospects for EACH customer, and check if he/she had a DOB keyed in. is this madness or wat? shirley resisted tt, and then it was reduced to only one product. we were supposed to email the i/c every single name tt didn have a DOB keyed into the system to her, ON TOP of further separating the product into those with DOB and those with none, and tagging them with the heading "have DOB" and "no DOB". the tags are big, mind u, any normal person would be able to see it. how much clearer can it get? then, the thing is, she wants us to email her the list, u know y? because with the email, she can open the file anytime she wants. omg. she doesn even know tt we do the tagging for her already! isn tt double work?!
seems like all i tok about these days is just bout work. haha... but well, work's all tt's occupying my life these days. i kinda regret telling them that i'll be working till 2nd wk of june... the pay's attractive, but i'm tired already. hahaha lazy arent i? i'm getting used to the lifestyle of not going to sch and studying. kinda makes me worried bout how i'm gonna re-adapt to school life again... hehe... however, since i've already given my word... guess i'll have to stick with it and earn more money... =) moreover, with tt extra money, i can buy a new pair of specs! been wanting to buy a pair of rimless specs since sec 1, but haven been able to coz i've been playing vball. oh well, now tt i've stopped playing, i can go get one!! yay!! contacts are kinda out of the qn for me, coz my eyes get too dry... oh man! i bought 2 boxes of contacts- one for the right eye one for the left- for the prom ,and they have no astig... sheesh... i still have like 4 more in each box... how?!

whew... finally finished keying the 1000+ coupons and 100-200+ orders. NIGHTMARE!!! my shoulders are stiff liao.. haha, dun ask me y... they just are. by rights it should be the fingers, shouldn it? but weirdly enough, my shoulder-the left one- is the one tt's in pain, and stiff. hmm.... mebbe its my posture.
gonna knock off work soon... cant wait! tonight is jue shi shuang jiao (The Proud Twins), starring jimmy lin and tae. oooooooooohhh!! eye candy!! haha... the show is... quite ok- the traps set by the 'twins' and chang chun are quite ingenius, so it's quite a pleasure to watch how they set the trap to capture the villains. =) unfortunately, the price i have to pay is my slp. the show ends at 1230, so i guess i'll become a walking zombie tml, despite my having made up for lost slp (did i?) last nite.
i have come to the conclusion that i will nvr get enough slp no matter how many hours i slp, but somehow, i just cant help it. or maybe i'm just a pathologically tired. yep, there's such a thing. i read from the back of an NZ coupon yesterday that 1/3 of young adults in the world are pathologically tired. tt's scary. haha i like sleeping though, it allows me to forget watever worries i have for the day, and when i'm aslp, nth can bother me, and watever happens outside is not really my prob, coz i wasn a part of it for the duration i was aslp. peaceful, aint it? i sound like an escapist, dun i? hmm... i like being awake too, coz being awake reminds me that i'm still alive, haha, but sometimes, i just find the world getting too complicated and too imposing, that the only way to escape from it all is to just go to slp. everything is shelved for the time being. does dreaming use up the same amt of energy from the brain as when we are daydreaming or studying or working? anyone has any idea?
i really should read better books. i've been saying it for ages i know, but i cant seem to drum up the enthusiasm to do so. my "Divine Comedies" has been at the same pg for a few months already, and so far, the only quality book i've read is "The Da Vinci Code", which is really not bad when one is reading it. however, on hindsight when i think bout the book and its plot, i find it too 'hollywood', as yanting puts it. there's a kind of superficial aftertaste to the book's plot, so there is no feeling of wanting to reread the book to re-feel the drama and suspense of the book. *shrugs* well... this is my personal opinion of the book, so if u feel otherwise, and feel as if i have mortally (or is it morally?) insulted the book, i'm sorry. =) 've been reading and re-reading romance novels, which makes me feel nice and warm, but does absolutely nothing to increase my mental power or vocab strength. haha, not tt the romance in the books ever happens in real life, but like taiwanese idol dramas, where the most ordinary girl gets the guy, these books do give one hope. HAHAHAHAHAHA i'm sounding hopelessly pathetic. -__-"

OMG OMG OMG!!! I GOT INTO NTU PSYCHOLOGY!
haha... it was a pleasant surprise for me, coz i was so worried i wouldn be able to get indue to my dismal results... hmm... i was offered double major too... isn it weird? or mebbe they offer it to everyone who manages to enter the uni? i'm tempted to take it up, but we all know wat happens when i get too ambitious. i fall. flat on my face. yep. well it happened in sec sch, when i took 9 subj. in the end, i kicked myself in the butt, coz i had taken on too much to handle. i ended getting results that were neither here nor there. then in jc yr 1, took 4 subjects, but in the end, wat happened? i ended up dropping hist coz it was too much to handle and my promo results were just so-so. oh well. i have to take things as they come i guess, and not overestimate myself, though to know tt i'm eligible for it is rather flattering. oh well, i know there's not much point in being too happy bout being offered it. after all, most everyone i know did much better than me, so being offered double major is nothing to boast about... =)
spent quite a bit just now... treated my family to thai express (the food at siglap is not as good as paragon to be frank), which came out to $ 61.20... oh well, i had expected it to cost more acty, so... though the bill was rather high, it's still lower than my expectations. then we went on to gelare, which was supp to be my mother's treat, but somehow, while we were waiting for our ice creams, my father and mother were nowhere to be found, so i ended paying for the ice cream.
-_-" but it's ok lar... i've nvr treated my family to anything anyway, when my parents have been paying for everything everyday. this bit is like a drop in the ocean in comparison with the amt they have spent on us for bout 19 coming to 20 yrs... *shrugs* =)

遗失的美好
歌手:张韶涵 专辑:海豚湾恋人电视原声
海的思念绵延不绝
终于和天在地平线交会
爱如果走得够远
应该也会跟幸福相见
承诺常常很像蝴蝶
美丽的飞盘旋然后不见
但我相信你给我的誓言
就像一定会来的春天
我始终带著你爱的微笑
一路上寻找我遗失的美好
不小心当泪滑过嘴角
就用你握过的手抹掉
再多的风景也从不停靠
只一心寻找我遗失的美好
有的人说不清哪里好
但就是谁都替代不了
承诺常常很像蝴蝶
美丽的飞盘旋然后不见
但我相信你给我的誓言
就像一定会来的春天
我始终带著你爱的微笑
一路上寻找我遗失的美好
不小心当泪滑过嘴角
就用你握过的手抹掉
再多的风景也从不停靠
只一心寻找我遗失的美好
有的人说不清哪里好
但就是谁都替代不了
在最开始的那一秒有些事早已经注定要到老
虽然命运爱开玩笑真心会和真心遇到
我始终带著你爱的微笑
一路上寻找我遗失的美好
不小心当泪滑过嘴角
就用你握过的手抹掉
再多的风景也从不停靠
只一心寻找我遗失的美好
有的人说不清哪里好
但就是谁都替代不了

aaaah.... finally can surf the net liao, after like almost an hour of trying again and again.
had boring lunch just now... hokkien mee at the nearby coffee shop. it's boring compared to wat we had for lunch yesterday- mcdonalds!!! yay! we ordered mc delivery, and then we had a 'party' in the pantry. hahaha so fun!!! jes and shirley were so funny. i've nvr seen anyone eating apple pie the way they do. jes likes to eat the crust of the apple pie, while shirley likes to eat the fillings. so jes cut the apple pie longitudinally, and separated the crusts, and shirley scraped out the apples into the bowl. i watned to take a photo of how they ate it, but figured it wouldn be v nice, coz when i suggested it, thye looked at me like i was mad... so well, i can take the hint.... hmm... mebbe i'll take a photo of me doing it... haha.... initially wat they intended to do was to squeeze the fillings out of the crust and then eat it. it sounds so disgusting rite? i think it would have been more interesting to take a photo of that than the cutting of the pie... more disgusting. hahahahahah i'm so evil. in any case, yesterday's lunch was so fun! hopefully we can do more of tt b4 i leave... mebbe with pizzas??? *looks hopeful and crosses fingers*
i know i sound quite suaku getting so happy over mc's lunch, but well, wat to do??? my workplace has BORING food.... though there are 3 hawker centres here, the variety of food is limited, coz they sell the SAME THING!!! and the standards are bout the same. so everyday, i have to wrack my brain bout wat to eat for lunch. luckily i dun have to eat dinner here as well. whew! one thing good though, is that i only spend $3 at the most everyday. that is, if i dun go to the biscuit factory, which i go quite often now, since yanting likes to go there too. the biscuits i buy always finish so fast!!!! they are cheap too, in comparison to the prices outside. so in a way, working here is kinda nice... =)
don just came into the room. tt guy is an entertainer man... he doesn mean to, but he just is funny. the things he says ah, just makes ppl wanna laugh. he just made jes laugh so much when he tokked bout his height. i have no idea y its so funny, but somehow, coming from him, it just sounds hilarious. yesterday, he just made us burst out laughing when he innocently asked wat the navel was called. he didn call it the navel. he said, "is this (the navel) the umbilical cord?" when we all laughed hilariously and said no, and explained wat the umbilical cord is, he said, "Oh, then it's called the umbilical hole? Must be rite, coz it connects the umbilical cord to the mother?" logical, yes, but the way he ssaid it was so innocent, and so full of conviction that we just had to laugh at him. too bad my hp cant upload photos. hahaha i should take a photo of him and publish it in my yahoo album. oh, in case u are wondering, i dun like him in that way. just mentioned him coz he's a regular guest in the room, and he's so often an entertainer in this room and (i think) a feature of my work place that i just have to mention him on my blog. hmm... i'll try to find a way to get his photo. goodness knows y he likes to come into the room we are working in. he says he likes being scolded by jes and shirley, that the more they scold him, the more shiok he feels. Crazy rite? oh well, i guess he must like it, coz he comes in everyday. he takes insults well, and laughs them off. oh well. *throws my hands up*
just heard new ppl are moving into the room next door, and jes and shir were so excited when they heard a guy called Tim's coming to work beside us. apparently, he's handsome... *shrugs* nvr seen him b4, but wait till they come- i'll tell u how they look, k? hopefully they really are good looking. but jes says they find him handsome coz his looks are good relative to the looks of the rest of the guys at my workplace. if so, then i guess.... normal lor... just better-looking than the average Singaporean guy. hahahahha
i really should try to shorten my blog. issit hard to read my blog? is the font too small?

well i DID try to update my blog, but to no avail. goodness knows wat;s wrong with the company's comp, and i just got the itnernet connection TODAY. i've been trying to go online in the office these past few days, but somehow, i htink the evil IT dept restricted the websites... hai....
i was trying to blog last wk, and i did manage to type. thing is, when i wanted to either save my entry as a draft or publish it, "the page u requested cannot be displayed". it happened twice in 1 hr! can u believe it?! so now i have like 1 wk's worth of update to do, which i'm not going to, coz it's 11 plus at nite and i have to work tml. i have another prob now. wat do i wear to work tml? brainless i know... but i'm so sick of my clothes liao... haha.... i'm a bimbo... anyway, back to wat i was saying just now. figure i'm just not supposed to criticise my clients. watever. suffice it to say that the person put in charge of this proj in my client's company is troublesome. ok. is tt too horrible a term? i hope not....
i have decided to extend my job to the 2nd wk of june. seems like CR really needs another person, and from the quantities that have been coming in recently, i think they cant afford the time to train another person. and anyway, i need the money. the more the merrier, hahaha. i wont be able to earn my own money if and when i start sch again, so i better make use of this opportunity... =) acty, i was thinking of stopping work at the end of may, so i could rest until july. however, yanting just informed me that sch starts in aug. erm... is that rite? could someone pls enlighten me bout the uni term schedule...? i'm clueless, i'm embarrassed to say..... hai... but i'll be really lonely if i work until the 2nd wk of june, coz yanting and siying wont be working here anymore! those workers around my age will be off to sch... leaving me behind....!!! hai... nvm... at least i have jes, shirley and crystal.... if shirley decides to extend her contract, that is. they are older than me though, and well, i like them, but i dun think our viewpoints are quite the same. i do learn quite a lot from them though, like life experiences and wat to eat and wat not to eat. nvr knew milo was heaty until they told me. hmm... did u know tt? or am i the only one in the whole world not to know milo is heaty?
though the quantity's getting higher- which means that there's more work to do, which means that i cant slack in the office anymore, which means that it's good- i feel really bored... i mean, it's keying the same things over and over again. granted, the products keyed in are different, but the method of keying them is the same! and while coupons might be interesting to type, they are tedious. type hundred over of them and u'll see wat i mean. the working envt's good though, and tt's wat's keeping me on acty. not tt they are desperate to have me here, but well... they could use an extra worker. fingers are getting suan though... haha... papa said my fingers would turn stiff from not playing the piano for such a long time, but i dun think so, coz my fingers are always moving on the keyboard, just like now, and i key coupons and orders everyday, so i dun think they will turn THAT stiff..... i miss the piano a little though.... but everytime when i am free, i just dun feel like playing it. hmm... am i contradicting myself here?
hey, laura, when will u be free? when u are free then u tell me k? then we start asking the rest if they wanna meet... haha.... wanna go kite flying? ;) bernice jiejie, when are u coming back to s'pore?

i have decided to extend my job to the 2nd wk of june. seems like CR really needs another person, and from the quantities that have been coming in recently, i think they cant afford the time to train another person. and anyway, i need the money. the more the merrier, hahaha. i wont be able to earn my own money if and when i start sch again, so i better make use of this opportunity... =) acty, i was thinking of stopping work at the end of may, so i could rest until july. however, yanting just informed me that sch starts in aug. erm... is that rite? could someone pls enlighten me bout the uni term schedule...? i'm clueless, i'm embarrassed to say..... hai... but i'll be really lonely if i work until the 2nd wk of june, coz yanting and siying wont be working here anymore! those workers around my age will be off to sch... leaving me behind....!!! hai... nvm... at least i have jes, shirley and crystal.... if shirley decides to extend her contract, that is. they are older than me though, and well, i like them, but i dun think our viewpoints are quite the same. i do learn quite a lot from them though, like life experiences and wat to eat and wat not to eat. nvr knew milo was heaty until they told me. hmm... did u know tt? or am i the only one in the whole world not to know milo is heaty?
though the quantity's getting higher- which means that there's more work to do, which means that i cant slack in the office anymore, which means that it's good- i feel really bored... i mean, it's keying the same things over and over again. granted, the products keyed in are different, but the method of keying them is the same! and while coupons might be interesting to type, they are tedious. type hundred over of them and u'll see wat i mean. the working envt's good though, and tt's wat's keeping me on acty. not tt they are desperate to have me here, but well... they could use an extra worker. fingers are getting suan though... haha... papa said my fingers would turn stiff from not playing the piano for such a long time, but i dun think so, coz my fingers are always moving on the keyboard, just like now, and i key coupons and orders everyday, so i dun think they will turn THAT stiff..... i miss the piano a little though.... but everytime when i am free, i just dun feel like playing it. hmm... am i contradicting myself here?
hey, laura, when will u be free? when u are free then u tell me k? then we start asking the rest if they wanna meet... haha.... wanna go kite flying? ;) bernice jiejie, when are u coming back to s'pore?

whew. finished data entrying already. haha, we received both nz and aust orders today, so the quantity was bout 600+, thus allowing us to have more to do. i'm not complaining; this is better than sitting in the office with nothing to do but surf the net and freeze in the office =p.
i have no internet connection at home anymore!!! we just disconnected the starhub maxonline in favour of singtel's broadband. singtel was offering $58.50 a mth for 2 yrs for a speed of 1500kbps (is that counted fast? i'm not v sure), which was cheaper than starhub's. this opportunity was too good to pass up, so my parents bit the bullet and decided to connect it. alas (in a dramatic tone)! we had to pay the price of going without internet connection until the 12th. oh well, till then, i'll be doing stuff on the internet in the office only. let's just hope the it dept upstairs is not paying attention to wat i'm doing. =X
so sleepy now!!! i'm just so sleepy i feel a headache coming on. i slept so well last nite i didn even hear lun waking up this morning, when i usually do. to have been woken up so rudely by my hp in the middle of my wonderful slp was the main contributor to my tiredness. argh. i tell u, everytime i hear Beethoven's Symphony now, i am reminded of my alarm. Oh! Save me!!!!! cant bring myself to use the other ringtones in my phone, coz i'm afraid i'll run out of tones to use as my ringtones. it doesn matter wat tone i use for my alarm- i'll end up hating the tone by the end of the week, coz of the meaning it would have taken on in my mind. haha. so acty, there's absolutely NO point in changing the alarm tone. haha. =)
oh man... cant keep my eyes open. cant wait for 6 when i can go home and perhaps catch a few min of slp. hmm.... but i htink that wun be possible, coz schnoozee will be waiting impatiently for me to let him out to pee. goodness... sometimes i wonder y von doesn let him out, but i guess she's tired too after a day of sch. but she finishes sch earlier than i finish work! on the other hand though, data entrying doesn take alot of brain power, particularly in my job, coz i finish my work at bout 4 30 the latest these days. so i guess i should be less tired. argh. but i do wish she'd let him out herself sometimes............
i wanna go shopping again!!! had so much fun with von last fri. though we only shopped from like 7 to 9, with dinner in between, we had so much fun coz we went into EVERY clothes shop that we could see, from bugis to citylink to suntec. hahahahahahahhaha. von says she likes british clothes shops, coz they make her feel smaller. but von isn TT big. i think her figure's perfect, but since when did we ever think our bodies were perfect? didn manage to shop enough though. i spent half my budget, but... i only bought 3 tops, and i soooo still feel like buying more tops...... stop itching my naughty fingers!!! i'm planning to buy a bottom with the other half of my budget. bottoms mostly cost bout 40+ rite? err... i'm not v sure but s'pore prices... could someone advice me pls? i saw this skirt at fox, which i was sooo tempted to buy!!! it's black, and above the knee (but it's not THAT short, believe me), made of cotton, and has embroidery on it. the embroidery is in black, by the way. it's ruffly at the bottom, and made of cotton. it costs 33. hmm... is it worth it? i sooo wanted to buy it, but von reminded me that that kind of cotton is hard to match, and i must say, i agree with her. nonetheless, my heart and fingers are still itchy....... von's a great shopping partner. haha. she encourages me to buy clothes when they suit me, and they are within my budget, but still brings me down to earth bout some of the clothes that i'm tempted to buy. case in point: the fox skirt. hehe, should go out with her more often, but i think it's not gonna be v often, coz she has her As this yr. dun want her to end up with lousy results like me. =S hey, if YOU (yes, u, reading this entry) wanna go shopping, CALL ME!!!!! haha.... i can go out anytime, but it has to be after 6 on weekdays. =)
haha i'm sounding like a bimbo now. oh well.... after earning my salary i wanna think of wat to spend a portion of it on mah.... haha, and in case u are wondering, YES, i DO SAVE MY MONEY. i only spend a small portion of it. believe me. after all, after working for a month, i think it's not too unreasonable to spend a small portion of it on things i like... rite? =) and now i can have more freedom to buy things which i used to lust after.... hahaha.... like an mp3 player, clothes, bags(!!!), a new watch (well, i've been wearing my baby-g for like 8 years), and a new puzzle!!!!!! haha... dun worry... i dun blow my whole month's salary on ALL of them. i plan wat i wanna buy in the next mth so i'll have something to look forward to. hahahah motivation to go to work and earn money ;). oh yes. add harry potter and other kinds of books to my list as well. ooooooo cant wait for end of the month =)
i love how my friends' and relatives' blogs are written. everyone has their own unique style that reflects their personality. just read them and u'll know wat i mean. just love their style, and wish i could develop a style of my own. hmm.... mine seems to be more conforming to society. ahahah. others have quirky styles of writing that sometimes bring a smile to my face when i read them coz of wat they say bout their observations of life and their lives. haha, if u are wondering who i'm talking bout, no need to wonder anymore. just click on "links" at the side of the screen, and u can read all of them. all of them are good writers in their own right. really!! i'm not being patronising!!
ok. 45 min more to 6pm. 45 min more to sleeping. or maybe, 45 min to schnoozee's freedom. will tell u the result tml. bye!!!

i've finished data entrying. wonderful. now there's nothing else to do except wait for lunch and then go out to CS to start answering phone calls.
my father was so touched to see the bday cake we bought for him yesterday! we meant to buy durian cake from Angie's the Choice for him, but it just so happened that the shop has closed down. aint it such a coincidence?! then, yi lun and i had to walk to TM's basement to see wat we could find there. well, we found bengawan solo, four leaves and breadtalk. by rights, we should have been spoilt for choice. in the end though, there wasn much of a choice. my father doesn like choc cake, though he still eats it (well, there is a lack of enthusiasm when we end up choosing choc cake....), tiramisu.... he doesn really like it, though the rest of the family likes it, but well... it's his bday after all =). Mango.... hmm... that was one of our choices, but we ended up buying absolutely mocha from breadtalk simply coz the design was nice and the description sounded good. well... guess we're suckers for packaging... =p
the planning to buy the cake was so disorganised! hee... well, i admit... it was a rather last minute thing... i had put it to the last possible moment, so it ended up that everyone had to have dinner late coz they were waiting for lun and me. =S
i was soooo sleepy last night! but i had to accompany my father to send my grandmother to the airport. she has to go back to australia to renew her passport or somthing. since evertone else in the family has to go to school the next day, and the flight was at 11:40 at night, i had to go with my father. haha... kept almost dozing off in the car and at the airport. wanted to go into all the shops, but i think it wouldn have been polite coz my auntie and uncle were there too... nevertheless, i went into "Perfumes and Cosmetics" to look at the perfumes. i was especally curious bout Britney Spears' "Curious" perfume. i wanted to see how bad it actually smelt, judging from all the bad reviews it got. hmm... it's not tt bad acty, it smells sweet, a little vanilla-ish, so i guess that wouldn have sat well with some ppl's tastes. i tested Lancome's "Miracle" (or something along tt line), and it's nice! it smells fresh, like flowers, and kinda makes the 'smeller' feel good. it's a little matured though... reminds me of a confident, independent career woman who knows wat she wants, and will get it. yep, it does! "Curious" on the other hand, smells younger, but it does bring to mind a young female who tries to have the best of both worlds- the innocence and sweetness of a young girl, yet still trying to attain the confidence and self-assurance of a more matured woman. kinda reminds me of Britney Spears' "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman". hmm... my favourites, though, are still D&G's "Light Blue", and Elizabeth Arden's "Lemon Tea". both have fresh yet natural scents. =)
haha, got no fate with serene lar. i thot i could go find her or something when i went to the airport last nite. alas! it was her off day! haven seen her and ee hui and huan ling and ying chao for such a loooooong time... hmm... hopefully we can meet up soon.... =)
cant wait for lunch. haha... food's all i think about these days, coz there's nth else to think about. in the past, there was hardly any time to think of food, wat with tests, assignments, hw etc. is there any surprise that i'm feeling heavier? seriously! i'm seriously not being paranoid here. i guess the fat doesn show on my body, but within it, is another story. feeling oily and fatty inside. eeew!! mebbe the fats are clogging inside my body, around my organs....!!! wait. did i get my facts rite? when fat doesn show on the body, there is a possibility that it's inside the body rite? tt's y skinny ppl can oso suffer from hypertension and high cholesterol? given all my bio knowledge back to my teachers... sheesh... cant really remember much... now when i help my sisters with their work, i find i have to read thru first b4 i acty teach them. wat an irony. i got such a shitty grade for Econs, and i'm teaching lun econs?!?!?!?!?!? it's kinda like the blind leading the blind... heh.. math... still ok, though i think i'll have to start revising integration soon after i teach von poisson. goodness... hope i dun have to re-do all my tutorials when i have to start teaching integration, though i think it's quite likely, coz i've forgotten bout 80% of watever i learnt liao. oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, think i've crapped enough. 35 min to lunch, and a new work envt. not really looking forward to it, coz of the lack of calls i'm sure to have, and a lack of entertainment. the only thing i'm looking forward to is meeting von after work to go shopping!!! hopefully i can bear to part with my pay... hahaha.... i always feel so tempted to buy things, but somehow, i feel so... bu she de when i acty have to go pay with the money... hahaha.... i sound so kiam rite? i guess that's wat my parents mean when they say "You will know the pinch when u start working" oh well. now i know. i'm still going shopping though. let's hope i do find some great bargains and buy nice stuff!!! so exciting! but one prob. where am i gonna have dinner?

damn... cant find the rubber band i always leave in the work room. my hair is getting in the way... its now in the not long not short stage, so it keeps tickling my neck, or gets kinda folded at my neck, between my jacket and my top. argh. i wonder where i put it... hmm....
anyway, its another early day for me (just took half day off yesterday), coz we finished our data entrying early again today. before lunch. hahaha yep =) we dun have to open letters anymore now, after the missing cash fiasco which is SOOOO totally not our fault. we have absolutely no use for AU$6000 cash. and anyway, how the hell would we be able to walk out of the company with so much money with 4 ppl in a room? there would hardly be time to take the money out of every envelope attached to every order form, and staple the envelope back perfectly, making it look untouched.
i forecast another boring day ahead of me tml. i will be doing my current job for the first half of the day, and then after lunch, i'll be going outside to do customer service. i dun mind doing it, i think it would be quite fun, but the thing is, there are v few phone calls for me to pick up, and there won't be anyone to tok to me!!! mui leng will be bz doing her own work, while yanting will be on leave. tt leaves me sooooo alone!!!!! and i'll be OUTSIDE! in the OPEN!! that means that however bored i am, i will not be able to surf the net like i'm doing now, or take out a book to read. oh yah, and tml's the first day the Customer Service (CS) director takes over. if wat i hear is true, he's v strict bout the staff being too free. yep, tt means no sms, no hp calls, no surfing of internet, no reading tml. oh wow. my heart's fluttering wildly at that prospect. -_-"
going to buy angie the choice's durian cake today! yay! it's my father's birthday today, and i'm gonna buy him a bday cake as a surprise!! hmm... i think he suspects it already too. haha, i told him i'm meeting a friend after work at tm... not as if he doesn know me well enough to know that i WILL go home punctually today no matter wat, coz its his bday. hehe... anyway, i'm gonna play dumb...
ok gonna go surfing again. yep, and try to put up my tagboard... hehe...

hi! heh, i know i haven been blogging for a loooooooooooong time... well, been pretty lazy to log onto blogger.com to blog, and part of the reason's coz the website is in CHINESE! goodness knows y my homepage is now in chinese, neopets is in chinese, and blogger is in chinese! OMG. i know... i can read it, but i dun feel like translating them in my mind and figuring out which thumbnail/link i should click on to get to where i wanna go. anyone has any ideas wat i can do to get rid of the chinese words?
why am i blogging now at this weird time and on such a weird day? well, the reason is simple: i'm in the office blogging.
why do i blog now? haha, good question. coz i've just finished keying in my order entries and there are no other things i can do until 6pm. so i've decided to surf the net. but there're only so many websites i can surf, so i decided to do something which i've been putting off for a long time- blog. SHHHHHHHHHHHH.... i'm not supposed to surf the net in the office acty... the IT dept will question us... something bout using the company's system to surf the net when we should be working.... hmm... tts true... but we've finished our work! crystal's playing book worms (i should get round to playing tt) now, jesmine's teaching shirley how to exercise at work, and shirley's bz laughing at jes' actions. haha... this is a crazy bunch of colleagues i tell u... but they add alot of entertainment into a boring working life. acty, i believe colleagues are the ones who help to brighten our otherwise boring working lives. i mean, can u imagine spending the whole day facing the silent and still computer keying orders without talking to anyone? oh man.... i think its utterly boring. but i guess tt's part of the job. well, i guess i'm lucky to be inside a separate room with my 3 other colleagues. haha... we're practically living in a world of our own. we just turn on the music and joke and laugh as we key data. its nice, but well, there is politics everywhere, even in a space taken up by 4 ppl. my supervisor was recently pulled out from the room, coz of strife btw her and 2 other colleagues. things got sore up to the pt where they werent talking to one another. just think: a few weeks ago they were all still going out together, and then, they weren talking to one another. the atmosphere in the room was so tense, one just had to get of the room often to get a breather. well, now that my supervisor's out of the room, the atmosphere is more relaxed.
acty, i think the supervisor is a nice lady, just given to taji-ing work to the others. as an individual, she's v v nice. however, as a co-worker.... well, that's another story entirely.
i'm kinda bored with data entry. there's only so much to fa hui.... i wanted to transfer to the customer service dept initially, coz i realised i should acty learn how to tok properly over the phone, and deal with ppl. this would also (hopefully) train me to think faster when facing problems. unfortunately, there's no vacancy. nvm, jay said she'll call me when they need me on my next hol. hmm... the words "next hol" are a huge assumption on my part, of course, assuming if i manage to get a place in the uni. i'm hoping to get into the psych faculty at ntu... haha... HOPEFULLY i can make it there.
since you are blogging now, shouldn u do something bout ur tagboard and ur blogskin? we've been staring at " bad id" for many months now.
err *sheepish smile*.... haha... i will get round to my tagboard. soon. i promise. but after so many mths of inactivity on my blog, i hope u all will still tok on my tagboard? pls? it'll be boring there if no one talks *looks beseechingly at you*.
As for blogskin... well.... can someone advise me on how i can design one of my own? i know the ones at blogskins are nice, but well... i feel like trying my hand at it. anyone can offer to give me some pointers? speaking of blogskins, i did find one v v cute one just now... it has babies as its theme... cute!!
ok.... i think i've blogged alot... i hope i'll continue blogging...... if i dun... well, u know wat's become of me. i've become to fat and lazy.... =)
why am i blogging now at this weird time and on such a weird day? well, the reason is simple: i'm in the office blogging.
why do i blog now? haha, good question. coz i've just finished keying in my order entries and there are no other things i can do until 6pm. so i've decided to surf the net. but there're only so many websites i can surf, so i decided to do something which i've been putting off for a long time- blog.

| You Are 35% Left Brained, 65% Right Brained |
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
