2 down
HELLO!!! =) I am very tired now..Haha..so much so for wanting to study, all parts of my body tell me not to...Yes, after today's devastating paper, I thought I can give myself a break and yes, I've got 4 papers more. Heard about the some toads in a pond in Germany? They died horribly with their intestines seen. Scientists predicted that they die from a bloated stomach, just like cartoons? Ohhh, son of the mask~ The baby blew his own head like a balloon. In this case, the toads blew their stomachs and it burst like a balloon and they DIE~ yOU KNOW why they did that? Because they were doing Measurement and they were probably trying to take-off for the Pyramid in Egypt, probably trying to give their lecturers the BQ for that, they cannot take it and so they blew their own stomachs.
Anyway, the paper cleared are Cultures in Contemporary World and Measurement LEVEL ONE. Cultures was okay and I think I read too much things. Measurement? *try to blow up my stomach now. oh, sorry, can't..I'm Joanne* The structure I take-off was a stupid 2-storey canteen with a step in the foundation. HAHAHAH! The ants probably find climbing on normal strip foundations too boring so our dearest Prof Teo decides to do them a favour and have steps for them. WAH~ What a NICE lady she is~~~ =) (Damn those ants!) I really pray hard that the rest will do what I do..HAHA..This taking-off for your information is not like taking-off your clothes (Larry always sing the Alex's song tou diao), is measuring the quantities needed for a building structures. So you see, you need concrete, bricks, reinforcement bars and finishes yada yada~ And yeah~ 2 papers now... and yeah 4 more to go...and I really don't know if I can hang in there but then again, this is my 4th semsters in NUS so whats so difficult? And then it is only half way there,I still got 4 more semsters...and yay~ I'm loving it! Good night, I'm really tired, I bet I am going to sleep 3 days 3 nights after the paper. Good night!

Tutition Kids
Girl: Shit~ I missed you~
Boy : =)
The Next day...
Boy : Can you be my girlfriend?
Girl: .... (walked away)
(Moments before Shit~ I missed you~)
Girl: I want to throw this in his face!!! *throw the thing but missed*
(see the boy walk towards her)
Girl: Shit~ I missed you~
Boy : =)
The Next day...
Boy : Can you be my girlfriend?
Girl: .... (walked away)
hahaha~ =) A story sponsored by one of my tuition kids. I've got 3 tuition kids, if i haven said this before. 3 girls. Very cute girls~ 2 Sec2 girls and one P6 girl. Yeah~ Teenagers~ Our relationship ogt so much better recently, it was like SMP on my own. Lets call the girls S, J (S's younger sister) and X(S's best friend and a new kid i just started teaching this year)
S was a rude rude pampered spoilt brat when i taught her next year, she even said about how she can get rid of me so easily by just asking the mum to fire me and of course knowing me, you should know how I'll torture her after that... =) This year (rather end of last year), she was different. She starts to tell me things and show respect for me. Just the day before she make a blunder and called me in school immediately to tell me and her teacher punished her because she was talking so much in class.. HAHA!
J is omg~~ I am on the verge of giving her up...Really~
X is nice, she is in the school band and last week, the instructor pulled her out of the SYF team and she got so sad, she sms-ed me...I did my part to console her and just yesterday night she went over to stay at S's house and they called me at around 12+ just to laugh and say hihi~ hahaha...teenagers~ I am no longer just the tuition teacher. hahaha and just today i was teaching sexual reproduction in human beings. HAHAHAH! And my kid just realised (sorry, this is disgusting BUT hahaha!) that the mensturation blood and the urine do not come out from the same place and she was like oMG! I thought they come out from the same place. HAHAHHAHAH! And i OMG too!!!
Anyway, I learnt the Lim Kim San was the first chairman of HDB who built 53,777 units of flats in the first 5 year scheme after SIT (Singapore Improvement Trust), who built only 2100 units bewteen 1927-1941 while teaching my kid Sec2 history. hahaha... So fun~
Exams will officially start on Friday and I am still not done with the readings. Readings done today? ZERO! I spent the whole day teaching tuition. Great! =) Jiayou bah~

Film Festival
CAtched a movie today My Jealous Barber (from film festival) never really heard about it in the past... Anyway it was quite nice.
The starting of the film showed this barber with this guy cutting his hair. The whole movie super budget because there are only 4 characters. We've got Frank (the barber), Bent (one of Frank's customers, in fact the last customer that stayed with Frank) and Bent's father who died shortly after a dinner scene and then Susie (aroma therapist. From Frank's shop, on the left is Susie's shop and on the right 2nd level, you will see Bent's house. Basically if you draw a triangle, each of them will be situated at each of the point.
This barber Frank inherited customers and shop from his ancestors. He loves boxing yet gave it up to become a barber. All his customers left him one by one till only Bent is left. Bent has been cutting his hair in Frank's shop for 10 years already. Frank is very dedicated to his customers, he kept all his customers's hairs and know all of them well, too well that is abit hard to accept. Bent is a nurse that never changes his hairstyle for 10 years. Just as the 11th year is going to start, Susia, the aroma therapist who never fails to forget everything moved into the neighbourhood. She notes down everything she does and draw portraits of everyone who deserved to be remembered. If you've watched 50 First Dates, she is someone like Lucy. So Bent's father passed away and he met this girl and out of a sudden, he decides to give himself a new haircut. The haircut works miracles because he get the confidence and the girl but offend and hurt the loyal barber in the process. The barber though is around 70 already still went ahead to prove his worth in the national competition participated by hungry young men and of course his model is his only customer Bent. HIs fingers shook and there, no more. The ending was good with Bent and Frank on Susie's car throwing away all the hairs Frank has kept. there~ your 90 minutes story.
Joanne feels that this 3 character represents the 3 different kinds of attitude you adopt for life. Bent obviously takes life as a chore and he don't seem to care about anything everything. The father said this of him when they talked about his driving licence. He has been going to the same barber because he cannot be bothered to think of what he really wants. He just couldn't be bothered and obviously loses the passion for life already. He leads a mandate life because is either lamb or chicken that he will be bringing to his father's house. He is too predictable and he doesn't even bothher to do anything about it.
Frank is one who never lets go. Judging from how he keep his customers's hairs in his home and remmebering each and everyone's first time there. His life is a duty, a duty to keep the barber shop going because his father and grandfather and great grand father did it. If you have read Little Prince, he reminds me of that lamp lighter, who does nothing but light up the lamp of a tiny planet when the night arrives. Little Prince thinks only his life is of meaning out of the many planets he visit because he serves a purpose. yah~ a duty... Like some parents live for their children, and how someone just live for the sake of another one, sometimes it is all a duty.
Then we have Susie who start everyday new because she has no memories of yesterday and although she has, she can't really feel the sadness or happiness she wrote in her book. She live everyday as a brand new day. No "once bitten twice shy" thingie, no experience, no nothing, everyday is new. Bent need to give himself a new haircut to start afresh, Susie dun have to...Everyday she wakes up, is new. Frank and Bent envy her as she lives everyday passionately because everyday is new and interesting to her. Of course, human are never satisfied. She wish she can remember more.
Who are you? More of Frank, Bent or Susie? I guess it all boils down to letting go. Susie never has problem with letting go because she has nothing to let go. Frank never lets go, he tries to keep everything... When the day he throws away all the hairs, he never felt happier than ever. Bent finally go to Frank asking him to cut his hair according to his instructions. Frank replied, "I could have done that if you have asked many many years ago." Sometimes, you cannot be too relaxed about things (like Bent), not caring about anything, but you cannot be like Frank too, too mindful and uptight about everything. I am not trying to talk like a great philosopher, I know I sucks at my essay, but I guess is all about moderation and learning how to let go when there really is a need.
hahaha..Time for Joanne's story. If you have a monkey coming in to your garden to steal things, what can you do? Cut a hole in the tree just the right size for the monkey's palm to be put in but not the clenched fist, put some sweets chocolates, whatever inside...Trust me, you've already got your monkey. The monkey will not learn to let go of the stuff in his clenched fist, he is stucked there especially since he is panicking. Don't be that monkey, don't be Frank... =) This blog is boring right? Perhaps we should start talking about multi-racism in Singapore, you know about the CMIO model in Singapore? When did the race thingie started? It started proper in 1980 that everyone needs to fall in a race. Or how about Sun tze theory of using the beauty trick? hahaha...these days Joanne knows so much right?
=) Sorry, but I don't know how basement constrution is being caried out and if I were to measure reinforcement bars, do i need to look up the CP?? hahahha...yay man, the exams are coming, so eXciting~~~~!!!!!! By the way, if you have read this far, thanks for bearing with me, there are definitely more to come... =) Have a great week ahead~ Drop me a comment or tag if you have really come this far because I am amazed myself. =)

Exams
I am having my first paper next Friday, how exciting? =) First paper on the list is Cultures in Comtemporary world. Yeah, things going fine~ VERY FINE =) I haven't read the readings yet, read a few though, maybe 3 or 4? hehehe..impressive huh? Yeah! And today, for the whole day, I was reading one reading and yes for THE WHOLE DAY, I read ONE READING. =)
WARNING: This is a SUPER DUPER SUPER SUPER LONG BLOG
Woman, Culture and Society (peep at the title just only) hehehe~
Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo (yay, I got it right!!!!)
(Lets see how much my memory can take)
The paper attempts to give an explanation to why there is this female subordination occuring in the world. Why is it that the males dominate against the females in most society? I learn a new word today, "anomalous". In the paper, it was say that women are perceived as anomalous in many society by men. Rosaldo said that women and men are physically different and that this might has to do with female subordination. (hahaha, what has this got to do with me right?) Anyway, Rosaldo tied back to the fact that because women are given the noble task of child-bearing, women are often tied down to child-caring and taking too. That probably explains why women are seen as figure who are more benevolent and that they are more willing to cherish children compared to men.
Then again, there are variations. Variations in the sense that there are society where the males are not the one controlling economic activities and that the men are doing things out of the norm. I think one of the readings that I have skim through was saying because man usually are connected to economic activity, there are deem to be the "first sex". And during warfare, males are much more valued due to their strenght. The males in New Guinea Arapesh actually behaved flirtatiously and it is the women who will initiate the courtship. haha.. and in some society (cannot remember what), the women are very much feared. It has got something to do with their physical body too. Women is both very sought after and feared in society and that they are name accordingly to the man they bed. Like witches in some society, they are defined as woman who have slept with the devils and the nuns, they married their whole life to God. They are also often closely related to the devils and "pollution" in some society. Like the New Guinea man, who will never try to offend a woman for fear that the women will feed them food cooked while they are menstruating and omg~ there is even one menstruating hut for the women!!! The menstruating blood is often associated to polluting the society. Therefore much as the men might sought after the women, they are also keeping themselves away from the women to prevent themselves from being polluted. Because women are much desired for and feared of, there is this "power" that arises. Often, it is out of choice that women are submissive to men.
Men possess more authority over women and that the activities they carried out are much more valued. Like the New Guinea people again, the men grow yams and the women other stuff, yet only the yams are seen as valuable. Like hunting, though the women grow the staple food rice, meat is much often considered as the only food in the community itself. Rosaldo was saying this has got to do with the way how man attained their manhood and how women attained theirs. Women gradually just take on their roles as they grow, meaning the whole process is being taken for granted that the girl will become a woman when the age comes. Yet for man, there are always competition from the peers, and there forms this aggression, and that in the gatherers community, a boy will need to go through many trials to become a man. Just like how the Masai boys, who were sent to the elders in the community, to go through rituals and trials to become man. In the process, they actually stole the women of their elders and sleep with them. In a sense the women there are not of value at all, that they are only allow to participate in the most minimal way had if there are rituals. For some countries, simple activities like milking the cow can only be done by this chosen male who is said to be sacred.
There are many more. Conclusion was that in a egalitarian society, the roles of women is more to complement the males, like again the New Guinea males who will spend the day with their children while their wife is garndening. As for rituals, the wife is still suppose to play the submissive role by acting ignorant. He suggested to change the whole thing will require the male to spend more time with their children and as such the male will lose his authority which is diferent from the females where she still can establish her own circle and withhold some power on her own within her own sphere.
phew~ My memory is fantastic not bad, dun u think so? hahahha.. and yes, this is what i study nowadays other than those structures that I am looking at. And of course there is still IT1003 where FedEx is a E-business and Amazon belongs to E-commerce. Like how EDS failed to integrate all the IT systems in GM. Minus all this, I am still studying my law, where to establish or fight a case of construction accident, one need to establish three things which are (1) Occupier's Liability (2) Breach of Statutory duty (3) Neglience and of course there are still contributory neglience and vicaricious liability. And there is so much like the Amus case and the Wong Jin Fah case where the next friend (his brother-in-law) sued the 4 companies for everything and only the plantiff's employer managed to get away due to lack of degree of control.
I said my memory is not bad and i typed all that without referring. I am all ready for exams!!!! (minus the fact that these are ALL that i know) =) As for Contech, i just realised, I know nuts and there are Contech 3 somemore... =) and of course there is still something call Measurement and talking about which if you do well, there will be a sponsorship. HAHAHAHAHHA!!!! The greatest joke I have ever heard. TIme to rest before exams start~~~ and yah, i did realised I only finished one reading today. =) No need to remind me and thanks for bearing with me, which I think only me, myself is entertaining myself but hey, this is my blog and don't you think you've learn alot? =) tata~

We are going by the textbook while the other groups really went down to the companies to find out things...yay, we went down too and the idiotic manager of some company (decides to keep it secret) refuse to provide us anything. the tutor asked, why did we insist in doing it in the first place when is so hard to retrieve information...

projects
basically when the projects deadlines are here, you
(1) can go crazy
(2) try to stay calm
(3) wait to open champange
(4) gives a stupid face
(5) and be grumpy about the whole thing.
hahaha..I am all the above. someone just asked mi qn about the project. i replied, how would i noe? i thot tt was ur part and u supposed to go find out?and she said i thot u noe... hahaha..how come i will noe? i noe my part is easy and perhaps i am doing the least for the whole thing but hers isn't as difficult too. i tried to tell her again what she is supposed to do and she ok ok ok ok and guess what the minute i stopped typing she went offline. someone tells her what is the basic courtesy????? Obviously singapore's courtesy campaign doesn't work for her!!!! i guess the authority just have to try harder...can't she at least tell mi tt she is busy? that she needs to go off? will die doing so? *pulls my hair* soooo is my fault? nope, i wun blame her cos is not worth it. and probably after i finished blogging i will get back my mood already. was thinking No wonder i dun like her in the first place. yay, i admitted. i dun like her and i have to be super frank that i am nv friendly to her. and just yesterday she apologised for not doing anything becos she was sick. at least u can inform mi rite? at least i think i have the right to noe. Great the bell is ringing again. have i ever tell u guys tt the church in my area sounds this veri nice bell every first day of the month at 12pm exactly. yes, time files~ i got fooled twice this year but perhaps more cos is onli 12 now. april fool onli reminds mi of the time my chinese teacher cried cos someone said her underwear has dropped or sth. she get so upset just cos of a joke.but she said the joke was too far...*shrugged* i dunno... it has to depends ur jokes play on what. playing on the concern of others? or really just a joke? like u noe tt person care about u and u goes "oh no, i met with an accident, HELP!!!" den ppl go to you and u go "april fool!!" i think i would probably take one rope and hang u upside down and make u write april's fool 10000000 times.
People said my tone changes immediately when my mood changes...that's how i am.. bet u can sense my mood now, can u? well, happy april's fool day and lets hope the day gets better because the first half is bad...bad....bad...bad...someone tells mi whats the right thing to do?
one hours after the above, he make mi day...what did i say? kids are adorable.
