for awhile now, my parents' solution to everything... resolution to buy anything, would be that if they had won the lottery.
feels like getting a car.. okay after getting 1st price. wanna buy a new tv to replace the dying one (which goes mute when it feels like it).. okay after striking 4d. wanna replace all the old stuff that doesnt work quite as well anymore.. air con, washing machine etc etc.. 4d 4d 4d 4d 4d 4d.
hmmm, they've been saying for a long time now, and never have i wished in such desperation that it would really happen soon man. HAHA. okay although, who doesnt right. was just doing a mental checklist of what i wanna do from now until graduation, and even after graduation... im overwhelmed!!! it just works out to so much... granted, alot of them are considered non-necessities, or in other words, luxury. bleahhhhh to that. just cos i dont actually need them doesnt mean i cant go for them right...
for example the international exchange programme. it can be counted as a once in a lifetime experience that, i too, wanna enjoy in my short university life. i know im not making full use of the seriously numerous opportunities from the school. so now im thinking, i dont wanna just let 3 years go by and graduate with a question mark in my head, wondering how exactly have i spent that 3years. already im not participating in any of the hostel activities, i dont want my uni life to simply be of projects, exams, and more exams.
so if given a chance (and the cash), i'd really be keen in going for the exchange programme. will be fun to break out of the monotony of singapore education system im so used to. and the plus point would also be to make some international friends too!
also, i believe that im an enthusiastic learner, albeit not exactly skewed towards the academics. there are tonnes of skills that i wanna pick up: rollerblading, swimming ---> sea sports, musical instruments like piano, guitar, drums.... languages.. and things i cant even begin to say off the top of my head. but yeah u get the drift.
lastly, grad trip (and any other forms of travelling) is also in my agenda! sigh i've said this so many times already so i shall not drone on and on about it. just wish that money god can bestow some luck upon my family and my friends!!
maybe i should try buying 4d and toto. they say beginners are often blessed with more luck anyway.

one six zero six and more.
okay updates.. hmmm...
to start off, i was quite disappointed with ytd's episode of 国记交意所 due to the presence of guest celebrities in the show. i mean come on, if i wanted to listen to them talk, i would have watched other variety shows. and horrors of horrors they invited irritating chatty people like li3 teng2 and pornsak (im sorry but i dont like them one bit). cant stand the way pornsak speaks, can he BE any squeakier?! and they totally snatched all the tv time from mr cutie justin!!!!!!
man am i pissed. i am really not interested in their stories which arent funny at all. somemore their mandarin is like superb so i bet the international students have no idea what they are talking about. where is the fun in that?!!!!!! sighhhhh... oh well, no more american guy and fabio, but still looking forward to the next episode! hurhur :)
okay with those grievances out of the way, i shall comment that prisonbreak 4 rocks. haha. michael scofield is sizzling.
oh yah last but not least 1606 had a gathering last sunday. only one description for it: LOL. haha, was real fun playing the legendary mrt-thigh-slapping game thingy. violent joyce decided to give me blue-blacks as souvenir on my thighs. can u imagine how bad it would be if i had not been wearing jeans?
below is my favourite picture out of the lot. i really like it cos there are no ugly gaps and everyone looks so nice!

give me my time back!
found out yesterday that (for school members at least) you dont have to pass your BTT to start practical lessons. !!!!!! cos you will be able to start driving on the circuit. whereas for private students, you would most likely want to start on the public roads (that means btt, then pdl) rather than wasting money on circuit training on the get go.
so i felt so sian diao learning about the fact yesterday. that means i've WASTED one whole month rotting away during the wait for my BTT date and now it's so damn difficult to get continuous slots (as in maybe at least twice a week) which is important for beginning stages, no? any more technical issues i should know of before i get surprised like that again...
okay that aside, lessons are going slow and steady. spent my second lesson going round and round the circuit (which i could have done while waiting for btt UGHHH) for the whole 100mins, im having fun but i feel bored for the instructor. HAHA. although i think he's quite zai in teaching. thumbs up! am at 2nd gear now hopefully soon i can get out of the circuit and start terrorizing people on the roads!!!
hmmmm oh yeah last week i tried rollerblading for the first time in my life! HAHA. looks like i have affinity with wheels these days. well it was damn scary and i believe ive made a spectacle outta myself - falling on my butt on my very first step, in front of quite a no. of people. LOL. and the rest was just whoaaaaaaaaa-ing all the way. what a sight. but at least i can blade without assistance!!! although it's really unpredictable. one moment im actually gliding effortlessly and the next im on the grass patch with my butt facing everyone. haha. at least i tried!
and mom's carrying out my dieting plans very seriously. not that im actually trying to go on a diet cus thats just not my style.. why stop urself from enjoying the one of the best luxuries in life!!! but it just so happens that im waking up abit later these days, eating abit less and exercising abit more. so mom totally plan her cooking so that i will skip a meal a day. like go for brunch instead of having breakfast and lunch.. combine lunch and dinner (just when i thought my dunching days are over) if we could help it.. sigh..... i want food you know!!!!
anyway the channel 8 variety show 国记交意所 is seriously drop dead funny. you guys should catch it if u are free.. 8pm every tuesday. ROCKS. plus the scottish guy (actually i like everyone) is really cute hurhurhurh.
ain't he the cutest!!!!! :D
US guy and korean girl!
ang mo kio in chinese became cat hair!
xiao an an..
hahaha oh no i might seem too free doing this so i shall stop! happy happy
someone commented he looks like david archuleta.. abit! but cuter.. LOL. fabio on the background is my sis's fav btw. :D

passion vs practicality - which would you choose?
when it comes to education in singapore (maybe not just in singapore but i wouldnt know), competitiveness beats everything hands down. that's why im in the course im in now anyway: just pick the one that would get you the furthest. nevermind that you aren't interested in it, the remuneration in the future will remind you that all the sacrifices are worth it.
not that im strongly against this method of decision, afterall i am suckered into this sad way of life myself, although im pretty sure ive made the correct choice. but still.... wouldnt it be great to be pursue the Bachelor of Travelling? ok fine aside from the fact that it does not exist. if given a real choice, i would have stopped schooling years ago and be on my way to becoming a tour guide or something. or you would see me being a mascot in some theme parks. LOL. i wanna be a travel host!!! but yeah, who doesnt right.
that's why i honestly respect those who followed their hearts all the way and chose the path unchartered. sure, it may be a tough road and probably a less mainstream one, but it will get you where you want, cos the determination is already there. knowing me, i'll never be able to have the courage to do this..
19june09, 0018hrs:
so second major results just in.. i didnt get b&f which is a bummer and quite a shock to say the least. not that i think im too zai or whatever but i guess im too used to getting satisfactory responses in my uni life thus far. technically speaking, not getting my first choice should make me more adamant in following my heart (for frigging once) and just reject the stupid 2nd spec and go ahead with my plans in conquering at least 2 languages with my UEs.
but well well easier said than done. it is still more conventional and hence better to have an edge over other accountancy students right? esp for people like me, can be counted as having no CCA, not much leadership testimonies... results arent that outstanding... no job experience.. you jolly well accept this rare opportunity!
but who is to say that mastering languages wont give you the same competitive edge, if not more? what if the job im after next time will require me to converse with all the important foreign partners (although i reaaaaaaally doubt so unless they send me overseas WHEEEE)? and as proven, passion really makes the grades come so much easier, and vice versa. not being able to SU my electives upon acceptance of the possibly boring specialisation will definitely pose a great liability to the ever important GPA.
hai so how? i also duno... maybe it's time for me to step up and go with my interest, for once in my life.. but if i dont please understand that society has pushed me into making that ill decision.

dont get all anti-nadal and i wont hate you
congrats federer for his win in frenchie. :) personally i think he's a legend in this sport and i love popping by his facebook page cus he always updates!! haha. well, he's one of the most graceful players ever, so im tilting my tennis style towards his.. and so far im successful HAHAHA. seriously, if i knew how to serve properly i would be a national player already :P
no doubt i would rather nadal win the crown instead - actually the only other reason keeping me from supporting fed all the way after nadal's loss was in part due to his annoying fans who wont shut up when it comes to criticising nadal. strangely its always his fans doing this kinda things, granted i may be over-generalising. and poor nadal has to bear the brunt of all kinds of trashtalk just cos he's a major rival of fed, like wth?? so it is with increasing displeasure that im even bothering to bring this up.
you can be your diehard federer fan all you want, but you dont have to go around dissing other players who may be better than your idol right? i know for sure i dont do this, the most i would just announce that i dont like so-and-so (for eg soderling) and he can go to hell. hehe. i wont like conjure things out of nowhere and criticise the player. so i find comments that doubt the ability of nadal especially irritating and contradicting - if he doesnt have any talent whatsoever then how did he beat fed in so many situations? not only on clay, but grass as well?!
okay wimbledon is coming up real soon, hopefully nadal will retain his title and silence those fans. but of course im sure they'll come up with illogical issues to talk about again. like if there's nothing to say really, nadal will become a steroid eating guy out of the blue.
.................seriously??? thats the best you got? jealous of his muscles is it? sigh, this is getting so old, have better comebacks leh!!! critique on useful things man.
okay lah disclaimer: i know not all his fans are like that :) so please dont hound me if u happen to be one giant federer fan, in which case this entry has got nothing to do with you lah!!! i still love you all as long as you dont get all anti-nadal on me.
moral of the story? be a humble fan like i am. HAHAHAHA. vamosssssss!
i miss learning spanish :(
