The old man

has done it again! He doesn't learn, does he?

I swear it's my unluckiest day ever!

It's just NOT my day! First, we had our IS presentation and some dumb masscommer was like "Sorry but I'm confused. I like your presentation but what is it about?" You blind or deaf ar? Slimming is the topic lah! Second, another dumbass masscommer was like "that lovely lady in pink". What the? I mean, ya, guys can say that (like what Carol said) but not girl to girl. And what's with your fake english accent? Masscommer means must speak like that? Third, I think the librarian has got nothing better to do than go around confiscating students' food or telling them not to do this, not to do that. Yes, we know the 1st rule is to keep our volumes down, but don't need to confiscate our food right? You hungry you say lah! I can leave a slice of bread for you. No, white bread isn't healthy. How bout a piece of lettuce? Fourth, CMA test 2 was screwed. None of the questions were familiar. It's not even the same as the tutorial questions! I was struggling so badly I almost cried and tore the paper in half. Throughout the paper, all I could think of was retest. Fifth, a girl injured me and I'm limping. Period. Sixth, I limped home wanting to watch Campus Superstar but my sis and mum were watching Da Chang Jin. Seventh, my thigh hurt so badly I can't even lift it up. Limped around at home. No one bothered to ask what happened. Eigth, so many other presentations not done and yet submission this wednesday and thursday. Argh! Somebody please get rid of all the tutors!!!

I don't know, you tell me

Sometimes I think the school is damn stupid! No, maybe the tutors are. But the tutors work for the school right? They both are stupid. It's because they always put submission deadlines of projects together and exams all cramped in a short period of maybe 1 week. I doubt anyone will actually start revising on the first week of school. Most probably everyone starts revision only 2 to 3 weeks before the exam. For me, I start maybe a week before. I have a paper on this coming Monday, as well as 2 project submissions and 1 presentation! What kinda shitty arrangement is this? Everything is cramped into 1 short day of just *gasp* 24 hours! Never enough right? Maybe enough when our projects can be submitted on different days. But this school... Argh! And yeah, I have 2 other presentations the same week. So if I did a count, I would have not 1, not 2, but 6 freaking school things to submit next week! What's worse is 2 of the presentations, me and my group members totally have no idea what is it about. Oh great! And what can you say about someone who leaves the country to KL to do her shopping while her group members are struggling with a freaking huge amount of projects to deal with??? Fucking selfish, I call that someone! You come back happy with handfuls of new clothes and shoes and whatever shit, but you're so gonna get a bad grade!

It's been quiet here

My blog abit quiet hor? Sorry for not updating cos I'm rather busy these days, or rather very lazy. Actually is no topic to write about. So I thought maybe just post something funny up (while I go think of something to blog about) so that whenever you all pop by here, you all can just laugh over it. Ok?

Ok. Go on! Laugh all you want! PS. That's not me on the right, by the way.

Life is fragile, it really is

Eileen has been making me think back about my past. Everything in my past came up when I was talking to her. I used to think I had many regrets in life. But now, I only have one. One regret that could probably leave me guilty for life. Aasta is my regret. I regret not spending more time with her when she was still around. I regret not telling her how much I wanted to see her at every gatherings so we can play together. I regret not hugging her and telling her I love her. Now she's gone, this scar will stay with me for life. Just because I hadn't taken the time to do the above. And I feel guilty about it. Life is fragile. It's being taken away from you when you least expects it. I know I should let it go, but this is harder than you think it is if you haven't experienced a loss of your own kin. I can't help but think of her everyday. Whenever you want to give up your life, think about those who had no chance to live another tomorrow. Think about the cancer patients and accident victims who had to fight with the devils every single minute so that they can live another significant minute. Think about the babies who were lost at birth and those who were aborted, they all wanted a chance to live and see this world. But yet you are there thinking about ending it. Think about it. Life is fragile, it really is.

This is very late

First of all, I would like to apologise for this extremely late post. Have been rather busy with common tests lately and I know I said I'll post the countdown dinner photos up after all my papers (which I still have 2 more to go) but I miss blogging ya. So no more waiting. The very late Christmas post My class got together (well, not all though) on the 21st of December, 2005 (Yes I know, very long ago!) at Seoul Garden (Ngee Ann City) for our Christmas dinner.

I have no idea what caption to put except that Joey looks retarded in this photo.

Joey is peeling the prawns so that I can make prawn soup for them. So nice of him. =) Sam Tay, Xiao Si, Me, Joey and Hakim Standing: Hakim, Effie, Sam Tay, Xiao Si Sitting: Weihan, Chai Fong, Shuyan, Me Standing: Jun Xian, Shuyan, Chai Fong Sitting: Hakim, Terry (new classmate who happened to be Syahriah's primary school friend!), Effie Candid shot. What is making Terry so excited? Effie also. What thing??

The dinner lasted for 3 hours! I ate a lot. I don't know about the others though. But seemed like some of them liked the ice cream a lot. I saw them having their 2nd and 3rd servings. By the way, the prawn soup was just ok. It wasn't sweet enough because the prawns weren't fresh neither were they big. We were discussing what to do after dinner outside Seoul Garden when Joey and I became very bored.

I don't know. Wanted to try the pose for Mr. and Mrs. Smith but failed terribly. I am that short lah, that's why Joey had to bend a bit. Ermm... F4? Funny 4. This shot came a lil quick. The rest of us behind had no time to pose. We walked around in town, looking for somewhere to exchange our gifts. Then we saw

my best friend! (Private joke. It goes way back to 2004.)

Effie wanted a photo with him so yup.

I got cut off by her camera. We settled outside erm.. OCBC? or some bank beside Cine. We took out all the presents and placed them down. All wrapped in newspaper for a tinge of surprise. After the exchange, we walked around just a lil bit more.

Partial group pic with the footballers all over the world.

Finally, a group photo of all of us after the gift-exchange. Then it was home sweet home. Mr. Foo got his own car and offered to send some of us home. So gentleman. I insisted on a photo of him with his car. New car some more leh!

Next time want go for supper, can ask him.

Countdown Dinner @ NUS My dad's side of the family had organised a countdown dinner on the 31st of Dec 2005 at NUS Guild Hall. My mum and I initially thought it would be a small gathering but it turned out that it was a rather grand event with special lighting effects and very beautiful decor. Machiam wedding like that.

The guests (us!) were given pins and rings that had rotating lights in them. Everyone wore them and it was a beautiful sight.

This is my mum's ring (Mickey mouse) and pin (Easter rabbit. Erm... wrong occasion hor? But who cares? I saw pins that read 'I Love You'.)

Close up of the easter bunny.

This is my mickey mouse ring. Notice that there are 3 colours (red, blue, yellow) whereas my mum's only has 2.

My sister kept her ring in her car and wore mine instead. Then after a while, my mum said "Wah yours very nice hor?", took it, and gave my sis her 2-light-only ring.

We were given light sticks to put around our wrists and necks (if you prefer). These were mine.

My donald duck pin. Haha. Poor donald, the light was too bright.

The dinner was supposed to start at 7.30pm. However, it started only at 9pm. Worse than wedding! Because it was supposed to be a countdown dinner, the organisers were trying to drag the dinner all the way to 12am.

You know, usually you attend wedding dinners, they have a plate of peanuts on the table as appetisers before the dinner start. But this dinner damn special. They had 2 bowls of chilli. 1 is sambal, the other is cut green chilli. Wow. How nice. Next, when the emcee first spoke, he spoke like this.

"Okay... Pleeassee... get sitted... The dinnneerr iss about toooo start... We're allll hungreee..." He's so not suitable for an emcee. The first dish, if I didn't remember wrongly, was Korean Ginseng Chicken soup. It was HEAVENLY! The ginseng was at least 30 cm long and the ingredients inside really were generous.

Then the next few dishes (some I forgot) consist of Black pepper beef, Deep fried prawns with fruit salad, Grilled cod fish, Abalone & Scallop with some veggie plus tofu & mushroom, Crab beehoon, last but not least, the very special Fruit platter. It was so special that my cousin thought the watermelon was some very precious fruit. (Notice the sarcasm) But overall, the dinner was FANTASTIC! NUS standard leh, not even a hotel restaurant! The dishes were cooked like restaurant style.

Throughout the dinner, there was karaoke for all of us. Just that the sound system sucked big time. My cousins were brave enough to sing a few songs (much to our pleasure) with more than 120 people as the audience. I didn't have that sort of courage when my relatives asked me to sing. There was a girl who sang like she was in a church choir. Just imagine Charlotte Church singing Avril Lavigne songs. And there was beer drinking competition. Winner gets to go USA. Wah seh! Damn shiok. But is upper serangoon area. Then there was a funny-face competition where photos were taken and showed onto the screen for us to laugh at. Then the photos were voted. There were lucky draws as well. But none of my family won. My cousin did though. And HE won a traditional lipstick pouch. Let's just skip to the countdown part. This is taking too long. The emcee was trying to drag the last 30 min before 2006 by saying things that no one found interesting. During the last minute, all of us stood up, waiting for the signal so we can all shout 10, 9, 8 and so on then HAPPY NEW YEAR! But NO! The emcee didn't que us at all! He counted down from 3! So he went 3, 2, 1. And he wasn't even shouting though the mic. The next second, my sis and I were like "HUH!? Like that arh?" And that's how we entered into the new year. Unexpected and a complete anti-climax. Bad emcee! Now, for my new year resolutions. I wish for world peace! And I found out that my resolution wouldn't work because I saw this.

Some guy (my cousin) got his face wrapped up in the table napkin that all of us had and decorated himself with party hat, light sticks and lit-up rings. He sat there, hoping that no one would notice him. But wrong! I proudly present... The new age terrorist!

Come on lah! Terrorists must have long beard and messy hair and most probably has a minimum of 3 moles on their face meh? The new age terrorists won't attack with guns and rifles. All they do is flick light sticks in your face in this outfit, and you'll be pissed off.

It's only 1 paper!

I just had my Cost & Managerial Accounting paper in the morning. All I can say is hope I pass, haha. I have 3 more papers to go yet I'm here slacking away. Watching japanese drama "Shotgun Marriage" for the 4th time now. How bored can I get? At least better than studying right? To all my friends having their common tests, 加油，がんばって, persevere!! Especially to Beibei, let you know that I'm always free to hear your complains and whines and cries. Don't worry about school. Everything will be fine. =) PS. Countdown dinner photos will be up pretty soon. Expect them up here by the 12th. I promise.

Very Happy New Year!!

*Yawns* It's 7 freaking.10 am! I didn't specially wake up so early to enjoy my new year. I just finished a game of mahjong which took 5 hours just to complete 2 rounds. Not my fault arh. My aunt called us up yesterday, asking if we wanted to play mahjong. My mum, sis and I were at a family countdown dinner (more about it next post). We agreed. The dinner ended at 1.30am. Then we went to pick my aunt and my lil cousin up. My aunt claimed that she hasn't touched mahjong for a long time, and the rules that we usually played were stricter so she wasn't sure about many things. So ya, the culprit was her but I don't blame her lah. Cos I good mood. I never win money lor! Neither did I lose. Hahahaha! So ya, I'll blog more about the dinner next time. After I get sufficient sleep and completed my revision!! But limited pics though. Later.
