I'm so 'cui'...

A 'cui' semester...

I dunno what's wrong with me this sem, but everything seems so...'cui'.

First of all, I totally flunk my email test for my comm. skill mod (although I haven't gotten back the results) cos I knew it.

Totally, and I really mean totally, misinterpreted the question.

Or rather, I got carried away without me realising it only until when we submitted the paper till it hit me what a %*$*%^&#@ mistake I just blundered. *grrrrrr*

Oh, for your ignorance, the email test is basically a 40-min test that assesses our ability to compose an email that is of appropriate tone, content blah blah blah. It's so stpd that I see no point in explaining further, but you get it right? RIGHT?

Btw, I got the format wrong too.

Cui, right?

*haiz*

So sad lah~ *sob sob*

The best (or worst) part?

It constitutes a whooping 35% of the entire mod.

*shakes head*

Depressing news aside.

Did you know that I stayed back in sch yesterday till 10pm and reached home at 1030pm??? That's just 30 mins from boon lay to pasir ris leh! Amazing right?!?!

A car can do wonders.

Anyway, after pia-ing almost everyday for 2-3 weeks, my friend and I finally completed the disgusting, oops I mean, irritating, english project on language and gender.

Most of the credit must go to my partner, whom I call her Lee Da Ma (李大妈) cos she's always nagging me like how a mother will nag her child. Even though she's just a year older than me.

"You better go eat something!"

"But I'm not hungry leh"

"I dun care. You better buy something to eat!"

She's always worried I'll work and work and not eat. So she'll keep forcing/commanding/demanding me to stuff my face. *tsk tsk*

Dun worry lah, 李大妈! Why would I wanna starve myself? I live to eat de, you know?

But that night both of us skipped our dinner. I think we're too exhausted to eat, and all we wanna do was to get home quick and shower and sleep.

Nevertheless, we achieved our goal and finished the 1500-word research paper yesterday!!YAY!!!

All I wanna say is, it's been a great experience working with 李大妈 cos she teaches me lots and lots of chim chim vocab, such as schadenfreude, plus those gossiping and giggling times...plus mimiyan also... *HAH!*

Eh 李大妈, my secret is safe with you hor?!?!?! *winks*

Okie I must stop praising her lest she feels pai seh until she cannot sleep.

*** *** ***

Went for another acupuncture session today.

And I got the shock of my life.

Cos I saw one patient lying on the floor, receiving the acupunture treatment. This is not because of lack of beds, but because...

That patient is a DOG!

My goodness!

It's a huge black furry dog, and part of her back was shave off so the electrified needles can pass through its thick fur and work on its back problem.

I was so stunned that I did not know how to react.

First time seeing a dog doing acupuncture. Its owner must love her alot loh...

And the shocking part was, the clinic has already helped 9 dogs to gain back their health.

Apparently, acupuncture can be used on both humans and animals! Amazing! *shakes head in disbelief*

Okie.

I've shared enough.

Time to get back to my history tut presentation for ah neh. Hope everything goes smoothly tmr, if not, it really is cui add cui equals mega cui!

Does this apply to you??

Does this apply to you?

meh-linda(: found this.

Hilarious.

Totally fits the bill.

That's my work week for you, peeps. Only when I'm not working desperately to meet deadlines.

Cos now my Saturdays and Sundays are like Wednesday: "Please let me die!"

Try sitting in front of your laptop/desktop from 9am to 12 am on a Saturday to work on a piece of 2000-word essay, and you'll know what I mean.

But at least I managed to overcome it. *hehs*

One more week to go.

Come Friday the 31st, and I'll be free. But for a short while.

Cos exams are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BOO BOO BOO!!!!!!

Bye bye.

PS: Pls be very proud of my friend, Hui, who succeeded in securing a place in NUS, one of the top 30 universities in the whole wide world! (NTU falls out of the rank, I heard. *boo!*) Congrats, babe! I promise I'll meet up with u guys soon soon soon!

Happy Birthday, 梁妈妈!

Happy Birthday, 梁妈妈!

A simple celebration with a simple cake is enough to make her happy.

Is she easily contented or what? *hahah*

Wanted to treat her and her flame aka my dad to take the Singapore Flyer and have a nice dinner outside, but she kept refusing, saying there's no need to celebrate and that she has no mood cos she's still feeling sad for my cousin.

(Update to digress: he has had a brain operation today and he's in ICU now. Dunno how's he. *haiz*)

Then too bad loh...my plan is cancelled.

But then again, it's better that she has rejected my kind offer, rather than me telling her I can't make it cos I need to do projects and stuff like that. *hehs*

Really loh...

All these stupid assignments are sucking away all my life!

I can't watch TV (I dun even know what Ch 8 is showing at 9pm now), I can't cycle (my bike is turning rusty and dusty!), I can't play with BeBe (she keeps bugging me to play with her but I keep shooing her away) and I can't sleep properly (will automatically wake up at 5am to secure some time to do my work)!!!!!

Money is so hard to earn can! *hrmpf*

Okie enough about me.

*ahem*

So in the end, I just bought a cake for her and that's that.

Den my dear old laopa said I should have waited till sunday den the whole family can go out and eat and celebrate.

But my mum was like, "Sunday? But my birthday is already over liao loh!"

And then she kept saying, "Dun want lah, no need lah. Never mind."

*rolls eyes*

I think she's secretly hoping otherwise loh. All women are like that what. Indirect and tentative at times (fyi, I'm doing a research on Language and Gender, whereby I study men's talk and women's talk. It's interesting, but super frustrating when working on the research paper).

Anyway.

She has turned 49 this year.

Oops! I revealed one of the biggest secret of a woman! I'm so not going to tell you her weight. *hehs*

Once again, wish my lao ma zi a happy birthday! May she and her daughter stay pretty, happy, troubles-free, young and blissful for ever and ever more. *heehee*

*** *** ***

On a heavier note.

Something serious happened in history class today.

So serious until our lecturer wanted to report the matter to the school dean.

And the worst possible consequence of this action?

Expulsion.

I seriously hope this will not happen and that he will be merciful.

*** *** ***

All right peeps.

I shall end abruptly here.

Enjoy the long weekend, thanks to deepavali.

Must make full use of the time and chiong chiong chiong my essays arh!!!

Peace.

I'm LOSING interest in English!

No pictures to share, cos no time/mood to take any.

But I have some whining/complaints/woes to share, any takers? No?

Oh wells.

Not that I care.

I'll just whine anyway.

First thing first.

ENGLISH IS GETTING ON MY NERVES COS IT'S OH-SO-FRICKING-BORING!!!

The modules are like, unbelieveably retarded and make me question their usefulness/relation to what I'll be doing in the future.

Somebody please pass me the fricking FEEDBACK form so I can give my valuable and necessary input to the school so that the next batch of poor BA students won't have to go through what I'm going through now.

Noble, ain't I. *tsk tsk*

But sometimes we cannot blame the modules.

It all boils down to the creatures with two eyes, two ears, one nose and one mouth but no brains, which are (surprise, surprise!) called humans, who basically worsen everything.

But then I dun belong to this so-called humans group, cos I have brains.

And I use them so much that I'm beginning to think that I'm getting stupid for killing my own brain cells which probably amounted up to billions in every second.

So I deserve to fall under the category called Superhumans.

Yes. I'm a Superwoman. *wheeeee~!*

Where's my Superman???? WHERE?!?!? WHERE?!?!?!?

(Somewhere up there loh, you'd sneer).

*rolls eyes*

I'm totally being nonsensical here (must be the lack of sleep, lack of good food, lack of shopping, lack of fun, lack of every other things that have no connection to school/work/projects/essays).

But if you can guess my intended implicature...then well done loh. What you want me to say?

How~?

Superwoman has no life now.

And Superwoman's mother is indirectly affected because Superwoman can't celebrate her mother's 490th birthday, due to the never-declining workload The Evil Entity of Education is giving her.

Oh my.

Why's life so miserable especially at this period of time?!?!

Another way to relieve stress...

Discover a new way to relieve stress...

Although after doing it will make me even more stress, cos precious time will be wasted doing it when I can spend it on writing probably 5 sentences for my China essay.

*rolls eyes*

Anyway, I'm talking about photo-editing.

So fun, yet so boring.

Think I'd better get back to facing Zhu Yuan-chang, the first Ming dynasty emperor who reigned from 1368 to 1398 and ruled the Ming court in a despotic and tyrannical manner that caused much fear and distress for the court officials...

Okie, I shall not bore you to death with my increasing knowledge on China history, which I find it very interesting! *hehs*

Seriously considering to switch my major to History.

English is super irritating now and oh-so-boring!

URGH! *pulls hair in frustration*

I want miracles to happen. Lots of miracles to happen.

Time is running out...

Yes.

That phrase can be applied to all of you, but in different ways.

For me, the time refers to the counting down of deadlines for assignments, assignments, and more assignments.

But for others that are fighting hard to stay alive, the time would mean the remaining days till the last day they breath in their last mouthful of air and depart from this world.

So why am I struggling so hard to complete all those work that would ultimately mean nothing to me, as compared to somebody else out there struggling to hang on for dear life?

Life is so ironic.

We're all waiting for a miracle;

We're all praying hard for it.

But I know you can do it;

We all know you can make it.

So dun you dare give up on yourself;

Continue the fight and stay strong.

Cos I have faith in you...

*** *** ***

On a slightly lighter note...

LHXX 2 will be delivered to my hse tmr.

All thanks to ebay.

The new clothes that I ordered online will be arriving in a week or so.

All thanks to wardrobe54.com.

But somehow, I'm not happy.

=(

Life is so unpredictable. And unfair.

I dun want him to die! =(

This is going to be the most depressing entry so far. =(

So depressing that I'm going to put a sad face at the end of every sentence. =(

Many unhappy/unlucky/sad things are happening to my mother's side family. =(

First, my wai po was admitted to hospital for a long long time. =(

And then my ah yi and yi-zang got into an accident on Saturday and left them hospitalised till now. =(

Now my cousin is fighting hard to keep breathing, and he's barely surviving against all the odds. =(

This cousin of mine, whom I only see once a year cos we're not very close, is really a nice guy. So does that mean bad things have to happen to nice people? =(

Like I said, he's fighting real hard to stay alive, but the doctor tells us to be mentally prepared because he might just......go. Just like that. =(

WTF.

He still needs to teach many more students.

He still needs to touch many more lives.

He still needs to get married and have many kids.

He still needs to accomplish so many many more things in life.

He still has a bright future ahead.

WHY MUST HE BE THE ONE TO CONTRACT THE VIRUS?????? =(

Why can other worthless people that do not contribute to the world at all, like the sick jerk who raped his three-year-old daughter, have their brains infected instead????

Why is life so unfair! =(

I'm super depressed now. =(

So angry at myself!

So ANGRY!!!

I was so so so angry at myself for not having enough determination/discipline to say NO to NYSS! *tsk tsk*

Stupid me or gullible me or silly me was somehow 'forced' to sign up another facial treatment sessions with them.

&%*$#$%&*$*%&!!!!

My consultant, I hate to admit, has superb persuasion skills.

No matter how hard I tried to reject her 'kind' offer, she refused to back down and kept pressurizing me to give her and nyss one more chance to let them prove that they can cure my skin problem blah blah blah.

I told her bluntly that I dun have $550 to pay for 5 more sessions (even if I have I'd rather spend the money on something else!!!), then she said I can pay by instalments, meaning I can put in deposit of $200 and try for 2 sessions first and then I can decide if I want to continue.

You tell me, jian anot?!?!

But I'm more jian lah, cos I reluctantly succumbed to her gimmicks in the end.

And so poor me paid the deposit and is down for two more sessions, which she uses her head to guarantee the improvement of my skin after these two treatments. *shakes head*

Now, I swear to whoever is up in heaven that after that second session, I SHALL NOT BE FORCED OR MADE GUILTY TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON MY FACE! NEVER!

But easier said than done. I predict by then, she'll come up with something to sway my firm stand.

So my friends, never ever land yourself into such shitty situation like me by signing for facial treatments at such centres. It's a bottomless pit that will suck you down so deeply that you'd forgot how you die.

URGH!

I hate myself!

ps: I went through the laser treatment to remove the oil taps on my eyes area, and bloody hell, it was the most excruciating, the most pain-in-the-ass experience ever okie! It's like having a red hot rod stabbing at your bare skin and you can hear the sizzling sound plus the burning smell when you smoulder metals together. I almost blurted out the F-word to my consultant can! It's that painful! Now what have I done to deserve this?!?!

pps: Now around my eyelids and eyebags have small little chao-tah dots which will only peel off after a few days! *sianz to the max*

ppps: I got B- for one of my English assignments. =(

Another random post.

Take a short break.

Doing another random post, cos my life is sooooo random now (if you can use 'random' to describe life).

Actually I'm taking a short break from my SEA essay.

Neeways.

I just LS for three consecutive times can! My legs are sooo wobbly like jelly now. Very weak. But still strong enough to type. *hehs*

So.

I dunno if it's the aftermath of acupuncture, or simply just a bad case of food poisoning, but after the third visit to the toilet, I feel that my stomach/intestine/whatever has been cleansed thoroughly. *yay!*

But if given a choice, I'd rather have all the toxins in my body than to suffer the agony of tummyache and the wild imagination of me dying in the toilet, on the toilet seat. *tsk tsk*

Disgusting s**t aside...

You guys know about the famous getai singer who passed away recently??

He was my mum and many other aunties' idol, and my mum is rather sad that her Singapore idol has departed from this world.

To quote from her: "He's such a talented man!"

And everyday she'd chase after the papers for updates of his news. *rolls eyes*

So I was not surprise to hear her announce that she wanna go to his funeral at Bedok Reservoir today to send him off one last time.

And so she went with her sisters, my aunts. *whispers* Typical aunties, oops, I mean, women in their 40s and above.

But who knows.

My fourth ah-yi and her hubby, when on their way to the funeral, met with an accident!!!

Their bike lang-ga with a car (sad to say, the driver is a female. *tsk tsk*), and both of them were quite badly injured and were sent to the hospital (I assume the female driver is okie, cos she has more metal to protect her, right?)

So my mum and her other sisters had to rush to the hospital to be kay-pohs, oops, I mean, to show their concern.

Which meant they had to miss the funeral. Which, in my opinion, was none of their business in the first place, so it shouldnt be a disappointment.

But apparently, I think my mum was a little disappointed cos when I asked her if she managed to see any melodrama scenes at the funeral, she sort of pouted her lips and said no. *hahah*

And then she went to visit my ah yi again, who has to be hospitalised for dunno how many days as her leg is swollen.

So, what's the point of me telling all these?

Well, nothing actually.

Just want to waste a few minutes of your life. And mine. *hehs*

Neeways, just let me spend a couple more minutes of your life can?

You see.

My brother just came back from Taiwan (another holiday trip with his gf! *bleahz*).

And...

I also want to go!!!

Super envy of his life now. Su kar su kar take leave and jet off to one of my Must Visit Countries in the World! *hrmpf*

Our economy is already in the recession mode, and he still dare to excuse himself from work like that! Not scared his boss will give him a matchstick and ask him to strike it huh?!?

*takes a few deep calming breaths*

At least he bought some yummy goody stuff back for us.

Shall forgive him for now.

I'm so kind right...

*shakes head*

Okie. I'm done.

Shall go back to my essay.

The weeks ahead are going to be busy busy busy!

=(

Random. Not.

This is sooooo random. Not.

Suddenly have the urge to post before I leave for school.

Thanks a many to those who helped me keep a lookout for the super sizzling hot LHXX 2.

I'm super duper SAD the entire S'pore vcd/dvd stores dun fricking have (not even one copy!) it.

Looks like ebay is my only way out. I did my search, and found two potential sellers.

HOWEVER!

One of them, from S'pore, offers $85 *gasps* for the whole series.

Another, from Australia, offers $35. *gasps even louder*

SO.

Which one should I choose????

I totally dun understand how ebay works cos I've never tried buying things from there (hey, you're reading a computer idiot's blog okie!), so I'm a bit wary.

Neeways.

I'm still waiting for my fave bank to send me my pin so I can get a move on my ibanking account (what?! now then you apply for ibanking account??!?! -you sneer.)

Of course lah! Lao niang prefers BRICK AND MORTAR style of transactions okie! This I learnt from lustylester. *hehs*

My point is, I'm not giving up whatsoever.

I'm totally determined to own this:

You may wonder why.

But I won't say anything!!!

...

...

...

...

...

Oh okie lah. He's the reason why. *MUAHAHAH*

Wah biang! He's so cute right?!?!

Can't wait for part III to be released. They're still filming (I suppose?) and news have it that it will be released in 2009.

So I shall make a prediction (which I think will come true!) that by next year, TS/PK will also offer the part I and II series together with III so people who get hook on the third series will also go buy the first two series.

I'm so smart right...can't stand myself.

Anyway, lao niang is impatient by nature so I probably can't and won't wait that long.

Oh gosh!

He's cute!

*HAH*

Emotional day!

How can one experience so many emotions in just a day?!

Why not?

Cos I just did.

Emotion #1: Exhausted.

Woke up at 5+ AM to get ready for morning tutorial.

Dozed off on the train, and I was in that kind of state whereby my eyelids refused to break apart from each other, as though they are determined to stick together. *rolls eyes*

Emotion #2: Irritated.

By a loud-mouth with a deep voice and thinks she is funny/humourous.

Can't stand these kind of people. It's bad enough to combine the tutorial with another class (more people, more noise, more frustration, lesser concentration), and it's worst when someone attempts to make conversation with a friend at the top of her voice, even when that person was just beside her.

Why? To attract other people's (like me) attention loh, what else.

That irritating 'leader'. Wish she'd just shut her trap up.

Emotion #3: Nervousness + Stress

Today was my individual oral presentation test.

Rehearsed like mad the night before.

Still, time never stops moving, and the crucial 1030am arrived.

I was around the last few to present, and the process of waiting was nerve-wrecking.

Most of my classmates were very very zai, except for one or two who allowed their nervousness to get the better of them.

So all the more I was stressed, so I prayed to GYM.

And man. I dunno if it's me or GYM has showed her powers, but when I stood in front of the class, all nervousness was gone and at the end of my presentation, my friends all said I was quite zai also.

So I welcomed in the next emotion.

Emotion #4: Happiness.

I was so happy with my own performance.

I never expected I'd appeared so calm and deliver my speech in that unprecedented confidence.

*muahahahah*

Of course, there were some minor flaws, but generally, I am satisfied. =)

Emotion #5: EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED.

Man, this is one of the worst feelings one could have.

I couldnt deny the existence of Devil's Eye, which really exists!

My advice - never be too happy over something, if not bad luck will surely befall you.

I admit I was over the cloud when I've finally cleared the oral presentation, so I guess that's maybe why something so unlucky happened to me.

You see, it was raining extremely heavily when I was about to leave the school.

Boarded an almost empty 199 and found myself a seat, which looked oh-so-innocently dry.

It's those kind of green seats at the front (to be precise, I sat on the third last row of the green seats) in a double-decker bus.

I made sure that it was dry before I sat down okie.

And guess what.

When I stood up to get off the bus, I realised that almost the entire half of my skirt was FRICKING WET!!!!

Like dripping wet that kind of wet! DAMN DAMP WET!!!

Bloody hell.

I didnt notice anything unusual throughout the ride can! So imagine the shock I had when I saw my wet skirt.

Wanted desperately to hide in the bus until it turns dry by itself.

But abit impossible leh.

So no choice. I had to ying zhe tou pi alight the bus and walk through the hall of SHAME to the MRT toilet which, I tell you, it's fricking far can!

I'm soooo afraid that people might think I pee in my skirt. WHICH I DID NOT OKIE!

It's that fricking faulty leaky bus's fault loh! *HRMPF* Who can predict water will leak in, of all places but my seat?!?

Am I suay or suay? *haiz*

So I spent 15 mins stuck in the ladies, trying desperately to dry it. Not going to tell you how I did it, but still...I dun think you wanna know.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had.

Can enter my List of The Most Embarrassing Moments, top three.

Emotion #6: still Exhausted.

Had another acupuncture session.

I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed throughout the whole treatment, and I actually enjoyed the sensation of throbbing needles on my skin. *hehs*

Emotion #7: Lazy.

No mood to do any work when I got home.

So here I am, blogging.

After laziness, stress will follow.

Cos time is ticking!

Deadlines of assignments are drawing nearer!

Exams are approaching!

*grabs hair*

Emotion #8: Stress.

Need I say more?

Emotion #9: Lovesick.

I miss WH.

I want LHXX.

Why can't you give me what I want?

*** *** ***

So there you go.

Did you notice any patterns of what my feelings are lately?

HAPPY 21st, HUI!!! =)

HAPPY HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY, HUI!!!=)

Another mate of mine has the key to adulthood! *yay!!*

Her birthday party was, I suppose, a huge success, cos MANY MANY people turned up to give their blessings and wishes!

A good thing the chalet was huge, though it's quite ulu.

Love the party hats! =)

Dunno what he's doing. As usual. *rolls eyes*

This one also. What, take photo with me very disturbing izzit?!?! *grrr*

But it's okie... I look pretty can le. Who cares about them??? *hehs*

You see. They behave normal when they take photo together. &%&$*#&@!

With the shou xing puo, Hui aka Samantha.

My long-time-never-contact secondary school mates, Gina and Sue Yi. Sue Yi and I have the exact birthdate! =)

Eh...we need to take three times cos Sue Yi closed her eyes the first two times! *tsk tsk*

Now this is much better... =)

Poser Candidate #1: Act-cool-but-fail look.

Poser Candidate #2: Dun-need-to-act-also-cute look.

Tiong cannot become a thief. He doesnt event know where to insert the key to start the engine!

Meanwhile the owner of the bike was happily gloating at his friend's retardness.

Disclaimer: that lorry isnt ours.

No wonder there's only showgirls, no showboys. My poor car...Its coolness was demoted by the two of them. Posers.

We are all from the same secondary school! =)

Another poser shot.

Darren!

Pauline, the future dancing instructor.

I think they have the fu qi lian hor! That's Hansel, by the way.

Me thinking of what to write in the guestbook...*headache*

Pauline deep in thought. Must be thinking of her dance steps? Or which male partner to dance with? *shakes head*

She was so busy going around entertaining people all night. *hahah*

He's tired. Disclaimer: I did not take these photos hor. Must be Celes.

What were they so engrossed about?

Must be the huge stack of polaroid films Hui took with her family and friends and colleagues.

I'm not posing. Serious.

HAHAH! The cute couple.

She was hungry.

Oh yeah! I forgot to talk about the food.

Hui hired Siam's Kitchen as her official caterer for the night. Nice!

And her birthday cake (Banana chocolate) was from Awfully Chocolate, which is opened by Stella Huang. Super nice too!

Overall, it was quite fun for me cos it's been a long time I last hung out with them.

Glad to see everyone's doing fine. =)

Hui, thanks for the invitation and hope you like our presents for you! =)

Love you! *muacks*

Just for Laughs!

Dinner with Eleanor, Erjin, Leonard and Uncle Wei Boon last night at Fish & Co, JP.

I was forced to go by Earl aka Eugene. He took away my library book and threatened not to return unless I go dinner with them. *sobs*

Poor Eleanor was also dragged along. Our english essay is due on mon, and she hasnt even decided on a topic to write on. You know what I'm going to say to you, Eleanor.

WELL DONE.

Still, dinner was, erm, fun.

It was so 'fun' that I asked the waitress for a sharp pointed knife so I can use it to murder Erjin. *trying to be calm here*

It's unfortunate the waitress was blur.

Anyway, I had my 'revenge' by editing some of the photos we took during dinner.

Technology can be a very powerful tool.

But being a kind and forgiving soul, I tried to make everyone look good.

In fact, so good that I can't stand myself.

Having so much fun decorating the photos that I almost forgot I still got tons of work to do. *tsk tsk*

Eleanor, I know you'll visit my blog for some entertainment, so this post is partly written for you. Now that you have finished reading it and knowing how pretty I've made you in that photo, please get back to your essay.

*** *** ***

I'm soooooo SAD!!!

Can't find my Lei Huo Xiong Xing vcd!!!

TS and Poh Kim dun have it!

*ROARZ*

Whoever can get this drama series for me, I'll............

Be extremely grateful for the rest of my life. *hehs*

*** *** ***

Went for acupuncture yesterday at Eunos.

Had a hard time locating the clinic.

Weather was super duper hot.

Anyway, it was my maiden attempt at acupuncture.

Thought it'd hurt, but I was wrong.

Squeezing of blackheads by the new york skin solution people was worse than having tiny needles poked into your skin.

So overall, it was quite endurable and hopefully my health will improve at the end of treatment! =)

Time to get back to my China essay.

Ciao everyone!
