Monday dialogues.

I had a simple chit chat and dialogue with my colleague yesterday. It was rather insightful, and I realised that there are some questions that I still do not know how to answer.

Then a short sms with my buddy also taught me something about him. I’ve never really thought that I’d shared the same thoughts about what he said. Just one sms taught me that.

Just had a chat with Gary. Coz I’d changed my FB status to “I miss going out with my bf on a week night” and he said he won’t be able to see his gf for 2 months (coz she’s overseas). Then ended up talking about Huzz, my buddy and life. It’s quite cool to have friends around.

Then it got me realising that I’m much closer to the friends I’ve made in poly than in anywhere else. Workplace too, maybe but not so much of my secondary school friends. I feel that gap when I’m talking to them but there aren’t that much gap when I talk to the people I know from poly onwards. Hm…

Huzz told me that day that if I have a buddy, no matter what he’s still my buddy and that if he has a girl buddy, he’ll probably forget that she’s a girl. To which I replied asking if he forgets I’m a girl too. Only joking. I know he doesn’t even though I don’t behave girly.

*Btw if you don’t know what FB means, it’s FACEBOOK. TO the dumbass who commented.

Vernon Lek’s Birthday Weekend

Had a weekend filled with activities!

Friday
Played Warcraft 3 with Huzz. Let’s just say that too easy isn’t fun. But too difficult isn’t fun either you know?

Saturday
Met Huzz in the morning to watch Transformers 2. Megan Fox isn’t that hot guys… Please stop swooning over her body! At most, she looks like a thinner version of Angelina Jolie but that’s all!

Then went over to Telok Blangah Soka Centre (TBSC) for NUSSD Institution meeting. It’s my first time attending one! Met Qiuyi on the bus and we were both late together. Haha. Learnt about dialogue and also about some dialogues that Ikeda Sensei made with a few leaders overseas. Made a new friend Kimberly (LAW). She said she’d seen me around somewhere but I don’t really know where anyway. =x

After that, rushed down Bugis to meet Huzz and we went to Eunos to meet up with Teck Hwee, Yi Long and Hwa Swee and we went to ECP to Vernon’s chalet party. Walked a rather long distance and saw NDP planes and helicopters and the SG flag! There was an NDP rehearsal. Hm, in that case, I should be able to see the flag from my home too huh?

When we finally reached, we saw many people whom we don’t know and also Jasmine Teh and Chin Leng. Ate the buffet stuff (love the fried rice!) and then we basically just stood around and talked to each other and all that. Jia Hui came after that and we proceeded to sign the birthday card that she’d bought and drew in it! Jia Hui should design birthday cards!! It looks almost like she’d printed on the card instead of drawing in it! So pretty la! I also want! Haha.

Vernon was very busy coz he has so many friends. But he still took the time to pause and talk to everyone of us and thanked us for coming.

A few of us sat down and played Uno and then Munchkins that Vernon brought along. I basically lost my voice because it was too noisy to talk in my normal voice. hahaha. But the music was great.

We cut the cake around 10.15pm, and the cake was HUGE! But the chocolate was super rich!

Anyway, enough about the talking, below are the pictures (I didn’t take them btw, pictures courtesy of Vernon Lek though I’d photoshopped them of course ).

Group pic 1: Before Jia Hui and HS left and Yan Qin came. Vernon’s the one on the extreme left (stripped wet shirt)

Huzz was figuring some card games out while I was chatting with HS and Edmund.

Sitting huddled in a circle playing Uno…

This time playing Munchkins… Noticed anyone missing?

Group pic 2: This time with Yan Qin

Cake cutting time!

I had a great time and we all left around 11pm. Took but home with Edmund, Yan Qin, Jasmine, Chin Leng and their friend (I don’t know his name but i’ve seen him around in school last time) who was pretty shocked that Huzz lives in Jurong East and he “HUH?!” so loud at the bus stop that everyone on the bus that Huzz boarded turned out and looked. LOL.

Reached home around 12plus and Dad fetched me from the bus stop otherwise I have to walk about 20mins back home.

Sunday
Went for SNCO and basically was trying hard not to fall asleep there. =x

And that’s why I need to run…

I have quite a few things I am angry about. Angry as in I really feel for it. I really want to do it, but I CANNOT.

I don’t get angry that easily, but sometimes these just gets stuck inside me and I don’t know what to do with it. So I’ll just put them here, and start working on them on a different way.

I haven’t ran for > 1 week.
I want to run the AHM > Run NUS 09. But the early bird price is already GONE. Would you pay for the price difference?
I have to settle CPF stuff because of my school fees.
I want to do more Daimoku.
I want a day to myself for rest.
When will the LG person call me up?

As you know, I’m a person who’s happy only after I’ve accomplished stuff and not through having new things.

But then, winning this is still not too bad: http://sparklette.net/tech/lg-gd900-crystal-game-winner/

I need to run to destress…

Special Term 1 ends tomorrow

You know those “How well do you know me quizzes” ? Everytime I change my answers, the previous answer that I chose will always be the correct one.

Always. Haha

Anyway, tomorrow’s the end of my special term. I don’t know if I should look forward to it or not. Lectures and tutorials with Prof Cheo’s pretty fun. In fact, he’s ranked the highest along with Prof Ng (Maths). They give excellent lectures.

I can’t wait to go back to work and save up for the stuff. When I say “save up”, it actually means “save up to repay my education fees so that I can get whatever I want asap”.

This reminds me that I have to study.

How I practise the cello.

You may have already seen this if you have me as a friend on FB. But here it is anyway. How I practise the cello.

And no, the cello’s not mine. i borrowed it from Huzz

This is the cupboard my sister and I share…

I sit in front of this cupboard when I practice… Why? Read on!

This is how I stop the cello from running away when I hug it…

No, you don’t need to buy a cello stopper.

This is the subject in question.

It’s a bit difficult to get the full picture when you’re holding the camera with your right hand and the cello with your left… haha

This is how I use the cupboard.

Notice the reflection? You can’t see it too clearly but I can see the reflection of the bow and know if I’m holding the bow correctly…

How do I get the reflection? See next…

I turn on the table lamp and position it this way to get a reflection on the cupboard.

Thanks for reading!

Of Chengdu and my plate of thoughts.

Seriously emotional blog entry. Avoid if you don’t want to hear me.

Went to Pierce Sec for POP rehearsal today. Was assigned the Glocks part. Made a new friend, Hui Xian from Pierce Alumni. =)

Had lunch with Shamin and Dickson.

Had another OPP Gathering today.

Was supposed to be a picnic to celebrate all our birthdays, but the plan failed becuase we (I said “we” because we were really too busy, I understand yea?) were all too busy and all.

*Okay, I know this sounds emo*

Henry couldn’t come because today was his commissioning.
HS had a navy exercise today.
Jia Hui had something on.
Madeline went overseas.
Li Ying was not feeling well.

So there were the 7 of us left. Huzz, Edmund, Vernon, Teck Hwee, Yi Long, Yan Qin and me.

While waiting for the movie to start, saw Kai Li.

Watched Monsters vs Aliens. Haha. Love the CG!!! It’s just awesome that so many scenes are so life like. And there were some really funny scenes that are pretty lame (in a good way). Made me happy la.

Then we went to squeeze around at the PC Show, and I saw Vernon Loh. It’s like I turned my head right and there he was. Oh and also saw Kai Li and Hui Wen.

Went to Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe and the food variety was limited, but quite okay, though the service there was seriously bad.

Firstly, Huzz ordered a side dish that was never recorded, and after the waiter recorded it down, it never arrived. )(!@)&@*

Then, this waitress who came to collect our bill behaved in a super “I don’t want to work here” attitude. I wanted to ask her what her problem was when she asked if I wanted to use my card to deduct points. Hello?! If I don’t understand can’t you explain?

I know why my photos look like crap already. It’s the settings! Believe me, the pictures above without photoshop were seriously scary. I suddenly understood why my pictures didn’t need much photoshopping all of a sudden a few weeks back. Haha.

I had “Fermented Chicken Rice”. I thought what “fermented chicken”. It’s actually fermented beancurd with chicken! It’s pretty much what I like though

After all that, we headed for home. As we were walking along City Link, I saw cousin Alvin! Haha.
Vernon, Edmund and I travelled back on the NEL and Vernon was sharing with us our thoughts about that first dinner when he reached Chengdu, and we 3 talked about the things we did there. haha. Pretty insightful.

I miss Chengdu.

Lastly,

*turns PMS mode on*

*turns PMS mode off*

Can I say something?

If you rant enough, people will stop and not listen. People will just walk away.
Rant about something else. Don’t repeat your same stories every year. What is important is you move along.

Go!

And I say…

The week’s over once again.
My Special Term exam’s nearing.
Yet, there are so many things to do.

2 outings… one for class and one for OPP.
I can’t help but feel down about this. So far, for both, only a maximum of 2 people responded. Maximum. 2. Each.

Gahhh…

I don’t rant a lot these days, but here I go again.
The Sims sometimes just make me reflect about my life.

Got to go study. I am a Sim in the University Expansion pack. Lol

Short updates.

Whoa! Just had a near 2 hours game of WoW with Huzz. I still don’t get how I can manage to build my army, build my camp, and level up my heroes all at the same time. It’s so complicated. And Huzz kept attacking me and I keep dying… Well, you know what I mean.

Just found out that Reuben’s back!! Hopefully things will settle down now. And he’s going to NS soon! Haha. One more person to laugh at about the new army uniform and hair (or lack of it). =x Evil…

Helped out Ying Shiuan and her group mates just now after my lecture. They’re nice people! Hope their project can be completed on time.

I just remembered I haven’t read up the text on today’s lecture… GG.

Quiet Thursday.

Yesterday was Eddie’s last day at EL.

Day was pretty quiet as another colleague’s pet of 16 years passed away.

Anyway, we took this pic kinda last minute.

I wish the best of luck to Eddie!
