=)
And hello~~~ Welcome!! This is a super long blog by Me!!!!
And yes, we are having the holidays...Us, NUS undergraduates, we are having the holidays. JUst yesterday when I talked to my friend, she asked me, hows my holidays? HAhahahaha, here's my holidays:
After my exam, I thought I was going to have a whole hell of fun, and yes, just as I was going to continue to think that way, food poisoning struck me and dang~ dang~ I was confined to my bed for the rest of the week, yes, one whole week, I was home because I was too weak to do anything, and my face simply tells that JOanne's sick. While I was feeling weak and giddy, my parents went for a holiday in Genting. HAHA! No, I was a good kid always *pose* and they have to leave me behind because they booked the ticket already and the sick Joanne has to take care of her sister and also Ting. They went in peace, hahaha, because Joanne's doting boyfriend was assigned the task to take care of her (her here means taking care of Joanne, her younger sister and Ting). And there he was, coming early morning and playing the role of MAria doting boyfriend here. First of all, he got to baby-sit Ting, and then he has to take care of the 3 meals everyday for 3 days, not that he cooked, he went out to buy for all of us. And haha, on one occassion, plays the role of an alarming clock. Have u see people assuming the role of alarm clock in plays? Huh? You didn't? What a pity?? Basically, people ask you to wake him (the him here refers to Joanne's younger brother) up and you got to do that and people say thanks. Hahaha, in the meantime, i just slept because I really had all my strength drained and I bet that is the best sliming method ever, your face, your butts, whatever just becomes smaller. And then, he has to help fold clothes, hang it and blah blah blah~~ =) I have a very nice boyfriend. He gets along very well with Ting and my sis. Yah, he was kinda mild, so Ting was climbing all over his head, treating him like pillows at times or ermmm a TREE (monkeys climb trees, well, yu can go figure out who's the tree and who's the monkey) And then sis has to traumatise him with mahjong of which he knows nothing about the game. Hahaha~ Well, have to say that I got sick at the right time and yet at the correct time too. =) I'm loving him...
And after that little sick thingie, I went for a badminton game with fellow mentors and mentees. And because I was sick hor, I din really manage to play anything. The mentors also, haha basically was only picking balls and teaching the mentees the rules of the game. I was chatting with 1 mentee and her friend. HAhaha~ this 2 girls very funny and cute, they actually wanted to organise a bithday bash for a male mentor of mine but they din cos that mentor hahaha... *shrugs* Anyway, they had this killer stare on me when I went with this mentor to the station in the earlier parts and I was giggling all the way because the mentor was so thankful that I was actually there. The 2 girls acutally waited for him at the MRT so that they can walk with him to the stadium together. Wow!! So touching!!! HAHAHAHA! Anyway, hahha, was thinking to have KFC when I was kena caught by Hexiang. HAHAHHA!!!! ANd I did not manage to eat KFC because I was still recovering (true reason was I was being caught) HAHAHA =X I know that's for my own good. Hexiang came to drive me over and we had dinner with together with his mum before heading to see some cars. bRoom~~ brOoom~~
I cannot really remember what I did after that. I remember I went swimming in Jurong swimming pool. You know the one with the wave pool, lazy pool blah blah pool. Great, be careful there, because I think i nearly drowned. Anyway, it was a good and enjoyable time spent although half way thru, the rain-rain-go-away song couldn't work. And to make my money real worth, I head to KFC for some food and piping hot LARGE whipped potato and it was soooo nice. hahah, thats because i was real cold,wearing onli my swimsuit and a wet tanktop, I was practically freezing in the resturant. Head back to the real pool and swam abit before Hexiang and I went for this die die challenge to stay on the float with the waves come. Results: failed. We fell into the sea with the waves burying me and then Hexiang desperately trying to pull me back. HAHAHA! I told ya, I have a caring boyfriend. HAHAHHA! =)
Then hor, i think the next day, I went to orchard with my best friend. Haiz, people is leaving me to go Australia for a year, i Bet i will really miss her. We went to Orchard shop shop lor, before that went with her to Paragon to do her medical checkup for her VISA. I din noe, Paragon has this side of its building for medical purposes and I think they serve foreigners more cos it seem real sophiscated. The one we went actually had classicical music played and hahaha, that has some kind of effect on my friend, she FELL ASLEEP! But whats new? She's always dozing off despite the fact that she might be watching this horror movie or what. =x she's gonna kill mi. We went to shop shop shop and it was soo nice. She spent alot!!! HAHAHA! And oh yah!!! The night before I went to Jurong Swimming pool, she and Hexiang came over to my house for dinner!! IT was sooooo funny and we really had a great laugh because knowing my parents, hahah, you'll know they always feed you as if they are feeding pigs and poor becky has to eat the food my mum recommends and my dad got so jealous that he insists she eat his also!!! Hexiang and I just eat our fruits and watch show. HAHAHAHHA!!! And when my parents try to do the same thing with Hexiang, he was soo funny, he took the fork and tell them (acting busy), I am having fruits and they went back to pester Rebecca!!! HAHAHHA! And after that, we just sit in the living pool and talk. HAHAH! After a while, all lie down. It was good to see the two fighting over me because one want me to go Jurong swimming and the other shopping. *POse* I very popular!!! HAHAH!! I went to Jurong to swim ultimately because someone who die die say must have medical checkup wan suddenly got backache.....
And ermmm I went to this seminar Fina-preurship on saturday in Amara Hotel after receiving some mysterious call. The toilets are lovely and the flowers are nice and I dragged Hexiang to go with me. Because we were the only couple in the seminar, hahahha, any role plays involving couples, wives and husbands, the speaker will definitely ask force us to come out and hahah, indeed it was very inspiring and interesting. I went to change my phone later on and hahahha...Hexiang has to wait with me with his empty stomach!!! HEHEHHE!! He chipped in for my phone also because he loves me!!! HAHAAH!!! HAHAHHA!!! OK lah, I abit poor can?!?!? But hor, the point is cos he loves mi!!! HAHAHAH!! I changed my phone to 3230 and mine, it has so many functions that hahaha, I am still blur now. It has this amazing MMC card that i just need to insert into my amazing COMPUTER and then i can d/l songs and pictures and videos in it. Technology! Then hor, it even can tell the song title and the artist played in the radio!!! OF course, you got to pay for it but it is so amazing lor!!! and then hor, the list really non-stop, I am still trying to explore though. But with 1.3 mega pixels camera, bet i will be taking pictures more often. I'm loving it but I'm loving him more... HEHHEHEHEH!!!
And then, I went to the food festival. And then hor, I went today again!! HAHAHA!!! With the intentions to chiong ar!!!!! HAHAHAHHA!!! But thats the hidden agenda for going down today, the main agenda was going to the MPH warehouse sales. BOoks are very cheap but quenes are very long. HAHAHA! After being a gluttony in the food fest, I went to the national family week sth sth just beside, sorry, onli the food section interests mi!!! HAHAHAHHA!! I met Larry and gf. Den met Ailing and her mentors, hahahah...oh mine, she was giggling and giggling non-stop just because Hexiang and me were holding hands. Can't blame her too since she don't know we are together. Her information abit slow. HAHAHHA! opps!
And before i forgot, I met this fuckin' arsehole that try to jump my quenes and has the freakin' gut to scold me when i told him he was jumping quene!!! PUI!!! I wished his bollocks get eaten up by ants tonight as he sleeps!!! I just can't understand why there are this kind of people, jump quene still can so yaya papaya!!! and jump successful wan nvm, he is jump not successful wan!!! KNS lor!!!! Never been to school iszzit? or nv attend moral civics before!!! Anyway, isn't it strange to hear me talk like this??? HAHAa..because I just finished a book by a male author and tt's how he speaks. He makes a dig at almost everything and he is veri sarcastic!!! For example:
Stop trying your George Orwell's stunt!
What do you mean?
u r Trying to do the 360 degrees turn.
HAHAAHA~ Thats exactly what George Orwell does and if you realised, making 360 degrees means coming back to where u started.
Well, fucking arsehole, there will be more traffic going down there your arsehole when you head to the jail. Dun see that as rape, see that as 'touching base' with your fellow friends.HAHAHAHHAAH!!! OHHH no!!! I am sick!!! lalalal!! the antibiotic must have cause this!!!
=) Bye bye people, someone's waiting for me!!! HEHEHE..and i bet no one can survive this LONG blog!!!

Stress Management
Stress Management
A LECTURER, WHEN EXPLAINING STRESS MANAGEMENT TO AN AUDIENCE, RAISED A GLASS OF WATER AND ASKED "HOW HEAVY IS THIS GLASS OF WATER?" ANSWERS CALLED OUT RANGED FROM 20G TO 500G. THE LECTURER REPLIED, "THE ABSOLUTE WEIGHT DOESN'T MATTER. IT DEPENDS ON HOW LONG YOU TRY TO HOLD IT."
IF I HOLD IT FOR A MINUTE, THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. IF I HOLD IT FOR AN HOUR, I'LL HAVE AN ACHE IN MY RIGHT ARM. IF I HOLD IT FOR A DAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL AN AMBULANCE. IN EACH CASE, IT'S THE SAME WEIGHT, BUT THE LONGER I HOLD IT, THE HEAVIER IT BECOMES."
HE CONTINUED, "AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS WITH STRESS MANAGEMENT. IF WE CARRY OUR BURDENS ALL THE TIME, SOONER OR LATER, AS THE BURDEN BECOMES INCREASINGLY HEAVY, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO CARRY ON. AS WITH THE GLASS OF WATER, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT DOWN FOR A WHILE AND REST BEFORE HOLDING IT AGAIN. WHEN WE'RE REFRESHED, WE CAN CARRY ON WITH THE BURDEN."
"SO BEFORE YOU RETURN HOME TONIGHT, PUT THE BURDEN OF WORK DOWN. DON'T CARRY IT HOME. YOU CAN PICK IT UP TOMORROW. WHATEVER BURDENS YOU'RE CARRYING NOW, LET THEM DOWN FOR A MOMENT IF YOU CAN." "RELAX; PICK THEM UP LATER AFTER YOU'VE RESTED. LIFE IS SHORT. ENJOY IT!
AND THEN HE SHARED SOME WAYS OF DEALING WITH THE BURDENS OF LIFE:
* ACCEPT THAT SOME DAYS YOU'RE THE PIGEON, AND SOME DAYS YOU'RE THE STATUE.
* ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WORDS SOFT AND SWEET, JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE TO EAT THEM.
* ALWAYS READ STUFF THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD IF YOU DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
* DRIVE CAREFULLY. IT'S NOT ONLY CARS THAT CAN BE RECALLED BY THEIR MAKER.
* IF YOU CAN'T BE KIND, AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY TO BE VAGUE.
* IF YOU LEND SOMEONE $20 AND NEVER SEE THAT PERSON AGAIN, IT WAS PROBABLY WORTH IT.
* IT MAY BE THAT YOUR SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS SIMPLY TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO OTHERS.
* NEVER BUY A CAR YOU CAN'T PUSH.
* NEVER PUT BOTH FEET IN YOUR MOUTH AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THEN YOU WON'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON.
* NOBODY CARES IF YOU DON'T DANCE WELL. JUST GET UP AND DANCE.
* SINCE IT'S THE EARLY WORM THAT GETS EATEN BY THE BIRD, SLEEP LATE.
* THE SECOND MOUSE GETS THE CHEESE.
* WHEN EVERYTHING'S COMING YOUR WAY, YOU'RE IN THE WRONG LANE.
* BIRTHDAYS ARE GOOD FOR YOU. THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE LONGER YOU LIVE.
* YOU MAY BE ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD, BUT YOU MAY ALSO BE THE WORLD TO ONE PERSON.
* SOME MISTAKES ARE TOO MUCH FUN TO ONLY MAKE ONCE.
* WE COULD LEARN A LOT FROM CRAYONS. SOME ARE SHARP, SOME ARE PRETTY AND SOME ARE DULL. SOME HAVE WEIRD NAMES, AND ALL ARE DIFFERENT COLORS, BUT THEY ALL LIVE IN THE SAME BOX.
* A TRULY HAPPY PERSON IS THE ONE WHO CAN ENJOY THE SCENERY ON A DETOUR.
I found this on my friend's blog and I thot I wanna share with you. Easier said than done, how many of the above can you do? haha..For me, I cannot do ALOT! I have bad anger management and it is always written on my face when stress or anger comes. I am a very "straight" person and in chinese, people always say my intestines are very straight and I tend to offend people till I myself dun even noe. Mum say there are good and bad to this, and I bet which thing in the world do not have its both sides. Frankly speaking, I dun really care if i offend people because if i do, those people are probably people who do not know me. HAHA! What am i talking about? Must be those anti-biotics~ They make me cranky.

Something CAll SIck~ yes, sickening~
And there after Animal Farm by George Orwell, where all the pigs rebelled against the humans, Napolean died shortly. And after 60 over years PP (Peaceful Pig aka 猪安 in chinese)was born to a loving family where there is no MAjor, no Napolean, but Daddy, Mummy, Samy and Girlgirl.
If you cannot view chinese words, go to view and click on encoding and den uni-code. Yes, lousy starting to introduce PP, but can't you see? I am trying to ask you to read Animal Farm 'cos it is quite nice.
Anyway, PP is sick, just yesterday the vet told her she was down with FOOD POISIONING. OHHHH!!! Isn't that dreadful??? Yes, it definitely is. It means missing out the supper on Friday night with her fellow Swiss Roll members and movie and dinner on Saturday with her Smart Marvellous Pigs members and of course quality time with her piggie dear because she was so weak all over and she was confined to her stacks of hay where she don't know when the sun sets and rises. She fainted earlier in the night probably 'cos the diarrhoea is making her weak and she has her strength sapped and she has no appetite. That's when SAmy introduce the word "DEHYDRATION". She probably has not much water to lose in her also already so she decides to consult the VEt, Uncle Ben. Uncle Ben said that she's down with food poisoning and there's something call GERMS in the body and that will require ANTI-BIOTICS to kill them. Her head was cracking and he said that's because at a high temperature of 38.4, there's no way she can escape without a headache. And Uncle BEn mention the word "DeHydration" and okay so Samy was right! And see what we have below, MEDICINE (o_o)'" Something that frightens PP!!!!
She always have a fear for medicine because other than the fact that they tastes horrible, they always make her feel like puking~ And this time round so MANY!!! There are the giddiness and vomiting pills (yellow) which PIP decides that it was no use taking them because she would still feel like vomiting when she sees those tablets and yay, one lesser one to take! Then we have the anti-biotics (white) which tasted the most most most most MOST HORRIBLE!!! and then blue for fever and the other 2, one for abdonminal pain and the other diarrhoea. ONE WORD: YUcKS!
And this morning at 5+ before her parents leave for Genting, the mum woke her up to have something light then MEDICINE. She finished her MILO with GrEat difficulty because she just don't feel like having anything plus she hasn't sleep well last night because she was always running to the lavatory, yes, it was a terrible night. After half an hour, she unwillingly took out the medicine and look at it and arrange them in such an order.
She poured herself a glass of water while watching her beloved parents walking here and there. And then, being a BUILDING student of New Umbrella Society, she decided that she must not let down her two lecturers LSP and MCYL, she decides to build something with her limited knowledge on Construction Technology. And this is it:
Her father was all ready and thats when he decides that he should check on his precious daughter, and he was SHOCKED because after half an hour when he last saw her took out the medicine, the daughter still had 3 tablets more left.
Daddy: HUH?!?!? What are u doing???
PP : (reluctantly smile) Very bitter!!!! Especially the anti-biotics, it SUCKS!!!
Daddy: So you see, don't be sick next time since you hate eating medicine, come put all in your mouth. (AND hahah! Ever since PP was born, he always say this without fail. A bit of history here, PP always get sick when she was young and she puke everytime she eats her medicine. Her parents has to come up with 1001 ways to force the medicine down her throat. Bad thing is she no longer can use the same tactic to bluff for some gummies. Good thing is later on, she will have gummies!!!)
PP :HUH?!?!?! I will PUKE!!!!!
Daddy: Who ask you always sleep so late? Faster finish it up~~ And take care of yourself from now on.
And for fear that the daughter will throw away the medicine, he STOOD THERE AND STARE AT HER!! Growing up is no fun!! HE used to coax her which he still did in the morning but to a smaller extent after all the daughter is an adult already!!! *Sobs*
After struggling and looking at the eyes of the daddy, she forced herself to finish the medicine. I've always think that PP other than having a phobia for cats, she also has medicine-phobia which i still think is true these days. And there, she survive another feat!!! Can I hear some applause please???
=( The next ordeal is at 2pm today... *sObs!!!!* and before the parents leave, they had 1001 things to say again, asking the daughter MUST MUST eat the medicine on time and the daddy was like saying with his eyes "DO not throw away the medicine". You know you have to complete the whole course of anti-biotics? PP has never completed before and she has a friend who had another friend who died because he did not complete his course. scARY~~~ I hope this time round PP will complete.
So kids, what does this story tells you? NEver eVer gEt sick or the medicine will EAT YOU UP!!!

HELLO!!!
And hello!!! Haven been here got quite a while~~~ For your information I have just finished my EXAMS!!! Phew!!!
Anyway, after the exams, I just head home and die~ HAHAH! I met HX later after i die finish~ and we just went chilling~~~ and yah, before I continue~
My dad got into an accident at the expressway, it was a good thing that no one is seriously injured and mum got away with bruises although SHE WAS NOT WEARING ANY seat belts. All thanks to dad who die die wanted to protect her and I bet you cannot imagine both of them was so excied about the whole thing and I guess Mum was so trumatise because it was something like a chain whereby Car A hit Car B and CAr C hit Car D and yada yada. The police was down but since no one was injured or killed they just recorded some stuff and went off. Dad's van was the worst of all although he din clashed into any of the vehicles. You should have see how they narrate their stories, they were finding it funny but I bet this puts their relationship to the next level since they survive this ordeal unharmed. I am glad that notihng serious actually happen too. It just make me realise life is indeed very very very fragil.
And another good old friend of mine turned 21 and I head down to his chalet. Nice time talking to the girls and watching tv there. AND AND~~~ SOBZ~~~ they ostracised me because I was not WEARING THE "RIGHT" colour, and you can see that from the photos and they even make me be the photographer so that they can take group photos!!! SOBZ!!!!
And on Mothers' Day, I had dinner with HX and his family. The Food was to my liking although the serice there is abit not up to standard but i like the food. It was peranakan food and after reading so much about bakwan Keipiting, i finally got to try it!!! Lets see If i can remember all the dishes we have:
1. HOney Pork
2. Asam Sotong
3. Fuyong Egg
4. Ngo Hiang
5. Sayah Lodeh
6. Chye Chai
7. Ayam Goreng Rempa
8. duck with salted vegetables soup
9. Bakwan keipiting
The servings were relatively small but i think the food is nice. Dearie's fav food i think was Ayam Goreng Rempa and Honey pork. For mi, as i said, i think the food is nice except the Ngo hiang cos i think my mum's wan is still the best. HAHA! Of which we webt to buy ice-cream later. Auntie went to buy some grocery while i quene for the nice nice ice-cream. Haha, auntie was cute cos when we get off the car, she held my hand and say lets make Hexiang jealous and I was like HAHAHA in my heart but i dun dare so i just smile~ HAHAHAH~ The ice-cream is those gelato, veri smooth and creamy!!! Heee...Yah, if i forgot to mention, my parents had the accident on Mothers'Day and yah, Mum say she has the most unforgettable MOthers' Day ever. Sam is out in his field camp and he haven know of this yet...
And I'been so busy this even since the holiday started!!! HAHAH... Just finished reading a book today. The curious incident of the dog in the night time. Borrowed it from Hx yesterday. Okay, quite nice but not really my kind but then again, I'm not picky in the type of books i read because I like being exposed to many many different types of stories. If u know me, you probably know I am not the patient kind, and sometimes I think this author kills me with all the details and yah, I'M Someone who hates the details. There's basically i think 21% of such people like me in this world who cannot stand details. This author basically digress ALOT! The part about the Dog basically i think carries less than 20 pages in the 200+ pages book if u need a gauge. The whole book is very infomative talking about almost everything!! Like the Monty Hall problems and some maths stuff like F Maths question. Well, I always read quite alot during the holidays and if u dunno, i actually love reading minus the fact that reading excludes reading related stuff to my course. HAHAH! I wanted to read 5 ppl I meet in heaven so probably heading to the library soon. Digital Fortress by Dan Brown would be nice also!!! Hmmm, this holiday I am sooo busy!!! HAHA~ got to go liao lah! This is a long long blog!! I am talking to becky and Hx now...hehehe..talking about the past and stuff... we Are going for movies tomorrow..Yeah so exciting!!! =) have fun guys~
