New Year Resolution
Sunday, December 31, 2006 ( 4:02 PM )
Today is the last day of 2006. Here I am sitting in front of the computer screen, all geared up to write/think of my 2007 New Year Resolutions!
Good Bye to all the sadness, failures and let downs of 2006.
Hello to the happiness, success and joys of 2007!
Those who fail to plan, plan to write. So i might as well be more successful and happier if i write down my NEW Year Resolution here..
Academics
3rd year Sem 2 is the sem to score 'A' for my Engineering Core Modules! Cos with no Mecha and Design stream pple to snatch the 'A's away....I think my academic results will level up!
I hope got at least A- for 2 or 3 core modules, den i will very happy le..of cos the rest must be B.
Targeted Score: MP3001 - A, Mp3002 - A, MP3003 - A, MP3011 - A, PE - A
Wut must i do: Study and revise consistently weekly!
Health
Health wise, i wish to lose some weight. I wanna slim down back to 47-49kg, which was my previous weight during year 1. SNIFF, i put on a lot of weight during the past 2 years, so its time to shed off those fats or convert them into muscles.
Wut must i do: Exercise at least 3 times a week. Run or swim every alternative day for at least half an hour (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). Can do some light weight lifting with those 2kg dumbells @ home and some pilates @ home, before going out to run/swim. Eat lesser red meat and more vegetables. Eat at least one fruit per day.
Finance
Due to extravagant retail therapy and bdae + xmas gifts giving, I would like to make it up to my poor bank account, by making sure that I put in at least $40 per month during the new sch term.
Wut must i do: Dun bring ATM card out when i am out. Only bring the estimated amount of money that i am expected to spend, to prevent spending more than what is necessary. Talk about shopping fast..heh
Friends and Family
This year, i have managed to reconcile with my parents and our r/s is much better when i decided not to be rude and cold towards them. I hope that this year my r/s with my parents will be better and even though sometimes i still find them irritating and naggy, i must do my best not to snap @ them, be more patient and helpful with them.
Friends wise, i made some good friends and lost some friends in 2006.
To the good friends like Mei Ting, Pern Ren and some pple from my cca, like aveline, shi yin and sherlyn: Thanks for lending me ur precious ears and feeding me advices when i needed them. I love and cherish you!
To the friends whom i have lost or not contacted: Sorry abt not being able to allow our friendship to return to normalcy. I guess things have turned out in such a way that i dun wan to be remembered of the past hurts, so i chose not to keep in contact with you guys. But, still, here's wishing you best of luck in your future endeavours!
Extra
In a bid to make my life in 2007 more fulfilling and interesting (although maybe more mafan), i should do something meaningful and helpful for the IDs in my CCA. That is, help out for the Project Identity 2007. I hope to do my part as a 3rd year senior in RSPID to help raise public awareness of the mentally disabled peeps! At the same time, i can gain experience about organising this kind of public event! This is also to help me take my first step forward to erase my fear of getting responsibilities in this new year! One shldn't be afraid of responsibilities or be fearful that they aren't adequate enuff to carry out a proper job. Conquer all fears and be happy!
Alright! Happy New Year to everybody!

It's been a long time since i ever updated my blog. Guess life's been mundane after the official ending of my attachment. It's easy to guess what i've been busy with lately.
1. Watching tonnes of J-drama tt features Takuya Kimura
2. Watching tonnes of anime like Gunslinger Girls, D.Gray-man, Death Note, Saiyuki Reload n Gunlock, School Rumble 2, Alice School etc etc
3. Reading novels that i borrowed from the NLB when the computer isn't on
4. Going out with some friends and chatting on msn
5. Reading Fruit Basket Manga to cheer me up
This is the routine stuff for me, before the next sch term starts. I'm just gonna do wadever i want and d/l lotsa stuff asap..
With so much time at home, one tends to reminisce about the past, consider different viewpoints about the confusing and sudden events that had happened in the span of 6 months. Its easy to get upset and start blaming others for all that have happened, come to think of it, i have to say, i had a hand in the turn of events that led to my "downfall" today.
At the end of every year, i would reflect on my life. This year wasn't a very good year for me in the area of r/s. Even though i made mistakes and got hurt in the process, it was definitely an eye opener for me. I wldn't say i have matured, but i got to see the ugly side of some pple whom i always tot were my good confidants. And tt's a amazing revelation of how truly horrible the human race can be. Well, i bet there are more grotesque examples, like the psychotic killer or a serial rapist who murders his victims slowly to death. In my own definition, i find pple who have a mindset to lie, cheat and manipulate, HORRIBLE.
Lesson Learnt
1. Not all your good guy friends can be a good bf or good husband.
This is true, bcos some pple aren't ready to settle down and wanna explore the possibilities of shagging different girls/guys and enjoy the fun without the commitment and responsibility. Some pple have the gift of gab and that allows them to get away with lotsa stuff, but not for long. They tell you words or do things that resonate so wonderfully in your stupid head that you think that they truly love you, but in actual fact, they're just playing with you, to see how you will react to their honey coated words or words that mean nothing to them.
2. Some guys can fake whole r/s.
ok, i saw this quote on the straits times. It was quoted by Sharon Stone who said "Girls can fake orgasms, but guys can fake whole relationships." How true. Like wut i said, some pple are out to play. A relationship or rather fake commitment to a girl/guy is a means to an end.
3. Stop jumping into r/s when u dun even know the other party well enuff.
So what if you know that person for 6 years or 10 years, do you really know him/her inside out? The duration of time is not equals to how well you know the person's character. Entering a r/s without even getting to know the other party well enuff, is well, disaster for the soul. Human beings are complicated pple with complex characteristics and thinkings. You probably need a lot of time to know the person better. Find out his/her agenda, intentions, beliefs, mindsets, interests or wadever u think is a must have to sync in future.
4. Pple change easily, bcos change is the only constant in this fucked up world.
One moment you're in love, the other moment without you realising, he/she tells you its over. WHY? No feelings liao loh. Dun think got a future with you anymore. So dun get ur hopes up too high, cos u gonna get disappointed like shit, when it happens. We will never know what tomorrow holds for us. Feelings change and pple move on. Even when you still love them, they probably dun love you anymore, cos they have oredi moved on and are happily attached with somebody else whom you cldn't believe can surpass you.
5. Choose your friends carefully. Choose your confidant carefully. Cos, you nv noe when they will turn their back against you.
I nv tot this particular friend of mine will betray me. To think i trusted 'em with all the secrets tt i nv shared and the next moment 'em turned ard and told you tt 'em snatched away the love of your life. Whoever knew what 'em told him when they got together. It makes you sick to think tt u trusted 'em so much..and this is the kind of shit you get for trusting 'em. Usosuki Musume.
The best part was "tell me all his weakness so that i can exploit him".
me: "Go figure it out urself.!@#$#@$#@$%$~!"
I dunno if the person meant it as a joke. But that was the final straw that broke the camel's back. I nv knew anybody else who can say such a cutting statement as a joke. So u chose a guy over our friendship. Thanks. You made the right choice anyway. I always regarded u as a good friend but i guess, u nv really regarded me as one. Thinking back, you always clamped up on the sensitive topics that revolved ard you, nv allowing me into your life. That was why you cld betray my trust so easily.
6. Dun Lie! Trust is not something that you can redeem back so easily. Once lost, forever gone.
The truth will set you free. The truth may hurt, but telling a white lie to cover up the entire situation is worse. Yes, you are worried that i will be upset..but, a lie is still a lie, and it cost me to lose my trust for u 2. I can't believe tt someone i loved so much in the past and someone whom i trusted so much cld actually gang up and lie to me.
END of Lesson
Yes, i may seem to be a narrow-minded person, well tt's me. I guess the only thing tt's left to do is to forget and forgive, but with so much angst inside of me, I guess it will take a long time. So in the meantime, I will seek refuge in the humor and tales of Fruit Basket Manga. I know that i've changed. I seriously think that my heart is slowly closing up to prevent myself from getting hurt again. So, dun come near me.

The Used * Listening
Your skin attached this fragile cliche
Of my broken heart attack
You should swallow your teeth and hang out
Stay for a while
If your heart's still beating it must be the blood
If your lungs are still working it must be the mud
If its still light out than a kick in the ribs
Today's worth living
I don't see anything now
So just say what you wanna say
It's kind of funny how I'm not listening anyway
Lights out, I can't stand to hear you scream
While we were making love I was fast asleep
And the night sky better give something up
(give something up)
I don't see anything now
So just say what you wanna say
It's kind of funny how I'm not listening anyway
[x2]
Lights out, lights out, lights out, lights out...
Lights out! I can't stand to hear you scream
While we were making love I was fast asleep
If your heart's still beating it must be the blood
If your lungs are still working it must be the mud
If it's still light out than a kick in the ribs
And today's worth living, it probably is
I don't see anything now
So just say what you wanna say
It's kind of funny how I'm not listening anyway
[x2]
I'm not listening anyway
I'm not listening anyway
I'm not listening
Listening, I'm not listening
I'm not listening
I'm not listening
I'm not listening
L motorola & post bdae
Friday, December 08, 2006 ( 8:49 PM )
Yosh! IA is finally over, today is my official last day at Motorola.
Time passes really fast, i still remembered writing on my blog hoping that i will get into Motorola for my IA. Haa..work has been kinda slack during the last week of my attachment, so we IA students decided to do a personalised souvenir for ourselves..
(Also I gave myself a secret mission to copy as many animes clips into my personal HDD from another anime-crazed team member...yippy)
Guess what i made? can guess?
i made a miniature tombstone-like acrylic plague for myself......
Inspired by the anime, Death Note, i decided to engrave this into my acrylic plague.....of cos, with the help of the milling machine
Check out my "watashi wa L desu" symbol...i tot it looked kinda coolNot too bad for an amateur, right? kakkoi desho?
My boss treated me and my partner to a lunch treat with his family before he flew overseas.. Pity i didn't know where the restaurant was, some bungalow called teacher's estate i think..
The entire team treated us to Thai Express for lunch, and our poly fellow IA student had this real spicy item, which was marked with 3 chili padi, he was perspiring throughout his meal and 3 pats on the back for his bravery! I had curry with softshell crab, which was surprisingly nice!
heh heh, oh ya..the IA pple @ motorola oso gave me and another girl a "surprise" belated bdae celebration in november, cos our bdaes was one week away from each other's....
"eh, how to pose together with the cake?""lets hold the knife together"
"make a wish, make a fish?"
"slurp...the cake looks delicious, lemme help myself to the cake first" says the guy in green
"Put the camera on the tripod stand so we can all take a IA group pic!"
"Lets make funny faces!"
sherlyn and camera
Monday, December 04, 2006 ( 11:25 AM )
Sunday was the last day for the SITEX IT Fair, i accompanied my friend to buy camera and all the barang barang...People were thronging through the tiny walkways to get their best bargains and views on the latest gadgets...i hate crowds...squeezing and maneuvering through all the possible spaces between human beans...not a pleasant task to get to our final destination...
My friend bought quite alot of stuff..the main thing is he bought a Samsung Camera with 6 megapixel, ISO 400 and Samsung HDD lens for $269. Cheap right? Well, cheap things may not be value for money especially when it comes to electronic gadgets...bought a blue tooth receiver that didn't work properly on my computer for $19.90..made in china..kns..kenna con..waste my $
Anyway, i tried out his camera that very day...and although the pictures tt i took were using VGA resolution..i thought the pictures came out quite alright...buay pai lah...of cos not as gd as canon's..
Pictures for Sherlyn Bdae!!
Jase, Sherlyn and Shi Yin (my sassy girl..imagine her sweet sweet face and her brandishing a knife right in front of you or imgaine her delivering unexpected punches into your stomach when provoked..scary)
ID gang gossiping and trying to write Sherlyn's bdae signboard...Do you realise tt somebody is being illtreated or rather treated as a temp table for writing the signboard?
There you go, clear view of Boss mistreating his beloved, gay partner of the night, Zhen Rong.The 2 of them were quite sick, acting as gay partners, imagine Zhen Rong lying on Boss' shoulder with a sick look on his face while Boss's hand lies across Zhen Rong's shoulder...
Group Pic with Bdae girl and cake!
Sherlyn's Bdae Cake! Fruit Cake!!! I swear, i nv really noticed pple's bdae cakes until i had to order one for my own bdae..haha..i sort of regretted not paying attention to pple's bdae cake..anyway, who will remember...you just see the cake, eat the cake and zao...
Bdae Girl with her Bdae Cake
Freshies with their beloved senior...tt's me lah
I decided to take a picture with boss's gay partner..just to make him jealous..haha
Sheena, Aveline and me..avy is really tall...she sort of bend down to level down to me...
Agnes, Leongster and me...Okie, all in the all, the bdae party was great...had alot to eat...and den i realised i got slight sore throat oredi...hurr..must be all the fries that i have been eating lately...yucks...
The pictures came out quite alright, and although it was in VGA resolution (picture small size and maybe a bit not so clear), i thought it is quite a decent camera, considering the user friendliness factor, nice overall design of the camera, it has the usual modes (night, auto, manual, program, scenic, fireworks) and max of 5cm macro...value for money...
