wonder what am i doing in arts n soc sci. pointless. not interested in that kind of arts..
maybe theater studies might be fun...?
i miss real art.
bleah,
too bored.. i need a job!! (that can go around my kind of hectic schedule...)
need cash!

kaoz
i sound like an air head.
Grrrr..
growing old = stupider?
grow old= many exams
many exams= harder exams
harder exams = brain cells die more
brain cells die more = non regenerative
non regenerative = stupidity...
errr...
so maybe the exams were not harder!
its cos we are dumber!!!

time to give you all a break before i kill more of your cells...

lazy ppl are well known for creativity... hmmm. suddenly tot of this phrase by someone we all know. anyway.. see!! u all cant blame me for being lazy! its a key point for creativity u know...

I'm just bored

Seeing that this blog has been stagnant for a couple of months, and I'm slacking away my time here now (got a 6 hours break before my lecture, sigh), I shld do another update, haha.

Our class recently got a Yahoo! group, courtesy of Kathy, if you people somehow deleted the invites (which is wahat I did in the 1st round cos' it ended up in my Junk mail, haha), leave a note here and I'll send an invite to ya =P

So life at Pulau NTU has not been that interesting. Was pia-ing my Biz Law assignment during the one week break and don't feel rested at all for a long time time. Can't wait for the end of term hols to begin (starting from 16 Nov!).

It's been a long time since I've seen most of you all.. Any class outings in December? You all can come to Kathy and my alumni band concert on Fri, 30 Dec, to celebrate New Year's eve's eve, haha. Shun4 Bian4 promote our concert =D

Whatever it is, hope life's been well for all of ya. For those studying, mug hard and play hard. For those working, work hard and slack hard. For those serving the country, serve well and sleep more (not when you all polishing the guns hoh). Okay, I'm crapping, becos' I'm too bored, haha.

5 weeks into uni

Hi ppl! How's life been getting on? Whether it's uni, working, serving the country etc, hope it has gone smmothly for ya =)

I have already spent 5 weeks in Yunnan Garden (can you believe some profs actually refer NTU to this name?), and time is just like flying past.

Uni life is busy even though we don't seem to attend lessons as much as JC. Everything is rush, rush and more rush, projects, lectures, tutorials and even rushing for bus, haha.

Hmm, I'm still CCA-less and am too lazy to find one, haha. Any recommendations?

Oh, I realised that if uni ask you to submit those passport size photo, do submit one that you look pretty good in it. Cos, especially in the case of NTU, everyone taking the same lecture as you (and that's like hundreds of people) can get to see your photo. Pretty creepy right? And I look so childish in mine, sigh, still got people ask me whether I took it in sec sch, hmpf.

Guess that's all for now, take care folks! Anyone going for the 3rd Sept reunion? Update what happen at the reunion here hoh.

Overwhelmed



Taking heed of Jacq's idea and put up my timetable. I've no idea how to but I'll try though.

The whole 3 weeks were so overwhelming. I could not make head or tail what have happened, what the hell they're going through and for the 1st time in so many years I rely a lot of my textbooks. *Faints* Oh I didn't mention the projects as well. It's like every other week I have a project due. How exciting can my life be. I was actually deciding to participate actively in my ECA but judging the way things go, I don't think I'll be able to. I really want to take a break from studies and really just chill. But bearing in mind the consequences, I've no courage to just relax. Much as I want to go town and eat walk talk and shop. Geez I hope I'll be able to meet up with you all soon. Like get out of Jurong. Argh..

Till then, take care.

Anyway...
how's my life been so far.. lemme see.
BIdding is total shit work in nus.
got the feeling we pay school fees of few thousand bucks for the system to screw us.
hahaha
everytime the system breaks down, u can hear a chorus of curses go down the hall, around the room, etc.. you get the idea la...
but one good thing is its damn versatile!
i get to do whatever whenever i want, so long as i do smart bidding.
hey man.. got tactics one le!
like tactical warfare liddat.
hilarious to hear cursing..
or people with head pasted to the screen/ keyboard. cos we were so vex or tired of waiting for screen to load that we just slump there.
more extremes like me, wld treat the lab like my home, sitting crosslegged or with knees up on the seats, relax myself ma... haha
enough of CORS not fun system. anyway that CORS reminds me of SA's Chapel of Ressurection (COR too!) heh...
So far.. By right NUS starts school on 1st Aug... but well.. their orientation is a week long, so *th then start lectures...
15th we start tutorials i think. and NOv starts exam.. freaking' fast man...
miracles of miracles, i am doing English literature!!!!!!! oh man... Still dont understand whatever possessed me in the 1st place to bid for that. maybe cos its a cheap course. as in cheap in bidding.. it costs a bomb to buy lit texts. haha
i am also doing psychology(Pray i pass this. must take this as major!!! i want!!!), south asian studies, Singapore society, Geisha,samurais and yakuzas... steady right!!!
next term i wanna take pharmacy too!! haha. arts is kind of fun so long as you are willing to open yourself up to it. i guess everything is like that. what's important to make you happy is to find different perspectives! yae.
Wow. i am quite the crapper... hahhaha
Next up who who?!!?? update le!

possibilities

"... we should be motivated by our own sense of possibility. We should be motivated by our own sense of accomplishment. We should be motivated by what we believe we can become...

... Don't be someone you're not, don't be less than you are, don't give up what you believe, because whatever the consequences that may seem scary or bad, they are much better than the consequences of selling your soul...

... when you challenge other people's ideas of who or how you should be , they may try to diminish and disgrace you.

You can spend a lifetime resenting the tests, angry about the slights and the injustices. Or you can rise above it.

People's ideas and fears can make them small - but they cannot make you small. People's prejudices can diminish them - but they cannot diminish you.

Small-minded people can think they determine your worth. But only you can determine your worth.

At every step along the way, your soul will be tested. Every test you pass will make you stronger.

But let's not be naive. Sometimes, there are consequences to staying true to what you believe, But as long as you understand the consequences and accept the consequences, you are not only stronger as a result, you're more at peace...

...never sell yourself short... everyone possess more potential than they realise.

Living life defined by your own sense of possibility, not by others' notions of limitations, is the path to success.

What you are today is God's gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God. He is waiting for that gift right now. Make it something extraordinary."

Excerpts from Carly's Fiorina's speech at North
Carolina Agricultural and Teachnical State University

Blink

Hello people! It's been a loooonnnnng time since I leave a tiny weeny trail here. I suppose most of us are starting school soon (with the obvious exception of the guys) and god knows how and when we will meet again. You know those Hong Kong dramas and American shows where they have those high school gatherings and at there everyone seems to be a different person. Imagine that! Maybe then if we happen to have Mrs Praeman at our gathering, she probably not wearing her maternity-looking dress but those working suits. Ok that's not explosive enough. Maybe Ms Jillian Lee will not be sporting a short crop but long silky hair. Haha. Anyway just some random (and funny) thoughts above. No matter your choices or what paths you may take, just want to wish all the best to you. We are not going to be judged only by a piece of paper. Going to say bye bye to the teenage years and hi to the RaRa years. Good Luck!!

Pieces of me...

Title of Ashlee Simpson's song. Nothing to do with anything I'm gonna blog about.

Actually, I have nothing much to blog about. Just wanna say hi to all you people. Whether you are in the midst of working, in the midst of worrying, in the midst of thinking, in the midst of learning how to drive, in the midst of being bitten by mosquitos, in the midst of being unemployed, in the midst of thinking about quitting...whatever it is, just wanna say something...you only live life once. So stop thinking/hesitating/having doubts, go ahead and do whatever you want to do as it could be your only chance.

Yays. See ya around.

Friday, April 01, 2005

Did something to the layout..

First thing first, I'm unemployed! Haha, yep, finally got the axe after working for 3 months so I've got lottsa free time now. Was surfing other class blogs just now and realise that our this blog is lacking a little something: class photo! Yep, and since I pretty much sux at blogspot html, I just did a graphic to replace the water lily.. Er, hope you guys like it =) It's the only full class photo other than the official one. Oh, my monitor resolution is 1024x768, so I'm not really sure how the new picture will affect other resolutions.. If it's causing you problems, let me know and I'll take it down. In the meantime, take care folks!

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy CNY to you peeps! Hope you all collected a lot of red packets. Heh.

Actually I have nothing much to blog about. Just a quick note to those learning/about to learn driving. Don't be demoralised by any instructor. Have more confidence in yourself. Look far, as in literally and most of your problems will be solved for the beginning stage.

Ramblings..

Working had been kinda nice this 2 weeks, heh, you didn't read wrongly. I actually get to slack after say 3pm and it's not that hectic anymore. But heard the second batch of ERS forms is coming so I better slack as much as I can now as I still haven't found permanent helpers to assist me in the coming busy season, bleah.

Anyway, I missed wearing sch uni. Keep repeating my clothes until I super sianz already, then those opened shoes' bad for sole man, my feet's skin peeling off liao..

Can't wait for CNY and SA carnival to come.. We go together kk?

Oh, next week Charmed season 6 final episode, must watch! Hehe.

And Karen be careful (P.s to Inez, hmm, 75 gals being AP? Maybe, hehe.)

I can't believe that I actually work for 1 month liao, wow.

Take care folks! Eat more and slack if you can, hahaha.

multi-tasking.. or not!!

karen ar.. so a.p ar.. think must b v messy at ur office.. think i'll faint in there if i step into ur office.. not tt my workplace is any better.. must b more careful ar.. does 75 gers haf a tendency to be a.p... as in accident prone.. hmm.. it must b running in your blood..
anw.. realise my job pays really low.. considering the work i'm undertaking.. emailing, helpdesk, doing trial reports, replying emails, registering, keying excel sheets, calling out to employers, calling problem forms.. wad the hell (hey i'm cursing).. and still have to be oh-so-nice to employers when it's their fault for delaying payment and registration.. and i'm not the cpf board!! wad's e point of venting your anger on me when it' s not up to me to waive off all those processing fees and late payment charges.. "great".. next week shall b worst.. when is going to be nearing the 14th of the mth and there's so many PH (ie cny) b4 14.. the whole of singapore's employers shall call in n complain: "your hotline very hard to get through leh!! #$%^& open more lines la!!" the thing is: u've got thru n u're holding up the line.
heh.. paiseh need to de-stress.. cos have made quite a lot of mistakes.. esp ytdy while multi-tasking.. going emails and trial reports.. emailed the wrong format email to 2 employers.. BIG SERIOUS MISTAKE.. ain't suppose to send confirmation to proceed submission when their GIRO's not approved but i did send.. in the end have to call them and in the most professional manner you can ignore the email and apologise for tt (btw the email add i use to send out has a signature: THIS IS A COMPUTED GENERATED EMAIL blah blah.. so i've become a computer -.-''') n i have to follow up the cases to ease my guilt.. hope there ain't any repercussions.. then the registration mistake.. troublesome too but rectified.. think was in a bad mood ytdy.. wonder my colleagues realise tt cos i always this stern-looking person there.. strange i refer them as colleagues not frens.. not tt the relationship wid them is like those of aquaintance.. but better than i just start out..
ok.. i feel better.. after trashing so much stuff here.. haha.. hopefully tml is a better day.. it can't b any worse.. was reading straits times urban section.. there's this part on office politics.. wonder is there any in my workplace.. backstabbers, apple-polisher... not v apparant to me.. mayb is a govt stat board.. so the best thing there is to find another job.. hoho..
oh rmbr to watch charmed/ desperate housewife/ american idol/ amazing race.. esp desperate housewife.. cos no sex n the city on free-to-air channels.. settle for next best thing?
n btw OT is when i made those registration mistakes.. so realise dun chiong so much.. no point when the next day you have to work more to rectify the errors you made.. so lesson 2 learned.. n i do appreciate 5 days work week.. no more weekend jobs for me.. lesson 3 learned..

hahx

i just got quite a cut on my elbow 'cos i accidentally scratch it against the metal thing that was supposed to hold the keyboard tray but the keyboard tray fell out. but i didn't curse at all this time...i was like ouch...rather pain...not a very deep cut though..but quite long...bah.

the people at my workplace only curse by saying stupid XXX, smelly XXX...in chi of 'cos. yah.

as a student, i have no comments about a five day week. but as an employee...i support a five day week totally! i don't mind working slightly half an hour later on weekdays and having lunch hours cut short...i just don't want to work on sat. so sian.

Monday, January 24, 2005

hello....

its been ages since i last come online to leave or write any msg...bleah...anw i agree wif jacq man...my time is oso damn screw up so hardly spend dat much..hah...but well when it comes to my off days n i nthg to do or juz so happen to go out...i'll spend..haha...

well karen,u mean ur office ppl really no one curse or wat meh?so cool...hah...coz ah at my work place cursing mildly or intensely is so common man...so im very used to it(im one of those who did d least cursing...hah...belive it or not.. :P) but my work place ah...can not show anger or watsoeva coz...im in d SERVICE industry where we'll b "ttack"by ppl from all walks of life..haha...sort of getting used to kena scolding n F at by them but we hafta smile n say "thank u"...haha...sad huh?..

titleless

yup karen, i cant choose OT too. and inez, i cant believe you actually wants to do OT. for me, when there's OT, it usually means that we cant close the shop in time. and at 11pm at night, all you want to do is to get home and not continue mopping and cleaning stuff.

you all office people, be thankful that you can curse (aloud or otherwise). all my cursings have to be replaced by smiles cos the customers are always right (yadda yadda). spent thirfts sia!! when you work weird hours like me, there's not much time to go out much less spend. hahaz... and the perk of working in F and B esp when you are new is that you can try stuff on the pretext of wanting to know how they taste like. plus i get two drinks (though limited in scope) per day. so next time if you all visit during non busy hours, i will try to smuggle for you kay? ;p

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Blabbering

Haven't been updating at here for quite some time.. It's amusing to know that Karen's cursing when she hit the table or something, be more careful kay gal? Heh, I also curse (silently) when my killer stacks of paper fall to the floor. Inez can choose to do OT ah? I haven't even start OT-ing yet, so maybe I'm not as busy as I thought I was?

Working life is busy, sigh. Can't really believe that I didn't come online during my work week, haha. And I'm spending money faster than I'm earning them, especially on transport fees, I wanna be a child (in the govt's eyes) again, haha.

Anyone wanna catch a movie call me along k? My colleagues don't really go for those type of English movies that I do, sigh. Alfie, Shall We Dance?......

Saturday, January 22, 2005

Me...

Hm...inez...you can actually choose to do OT. I can't. I can't decide whether i can do OT. If not, I'll do a lot. My boss won't let people OT for nothing. Only when they're like really close to the deadline yet still have a lot to do...then he asks them to do OT. Bah. But I will have a lot of OT-ing in mar/apr. Bleah...

The people around me don't utter any curse word. Not even in Chinese. But why do i keep cursing silently when i knock into things? It's not even mild words like s**t. Bah. I should either stop cursing or stop bumping into the edges of office tables or whatsoever.

Lesson to be learned

hey peeps!

was double-checking my dec salary just now.. and took out my bank book to check the amt.. guess wad.. it's actually negative value!! ok not real negative value.. but i spent more than i earn.. sianZ -.-''' that is so damn bad!! i think i need to go for some wealth management course or something.. mayb to console myself or sth.. at least i gave my parents pocket money for dec.. oh did i mention.. i still havent get my home theater system.. so where did my money go????!!!! mayb i shld really go and find weekend job and do more O.T...

(do it) anyway

people are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred; forgive them anyway.
if you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
if you are succesful, you will win some friends and some true enemies; succeed anway.
if you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
when you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
if you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
the good you do today, people will forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
you see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. it was never between you and them anyway.

this poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.

Hey ppl, just wanna wish everyone a better year ahead, with good health and happiness. Take care always and I hope we'll meet up regularly ya? Hope to see you ppl on Mon (I should be going if I survive the piles and stacks of paper in my job, haha). Really miss school life (without the exams, heh).. And I miss you people..
