havent been blogging for ages. so here comes the mega long post!!

been spending the whole week at ntu. the attachment is going fine except for the KEITHLEY machine going cranky at times. tried a couple of canteen food over in ntu. they are quite good. the portion is big and the cost is reasonable. always have difficulty finishing up the food XD had a fun time watching videos from youtube while testing substrates out. and i conclude that the folks over in japan are cranky people. they are really creative and insane. the marshmallows and the human tetris! gosh! had a fun time laughing out heads off in the clean room.

cailaoshi and guolaoshi are back from beijing. finally got a proper training ever since hols started. and i was like 1hr late on monXD oops! dint know that trng starts at 115pm. anyway i made a fool of myself when doing jiu4 jian4 in front of cailoashi. and i conclude that i suck at jian4 shu4. did jiu4 qiang2 on tues(: love it man! jiu4 qiang3 is still the best! sprained my back when i was doing xia4 yao2 at the end of trng. felt like jelly. as if i lost my backbone. but lucky it was fine the next day.

on fri, after everything ended, went to jp to shop for gifts. walked round the whole jp but we still didnt get anything. but i settled his bday gift. hope it will be appropriate and bro will be able to help me settle it(: and i passed by the converse shop again and saw the pair of canvas. $59.90. cant afford it as of now but i shall try my aunt whose going over to boston to see if she can get the same pair but at a cheaper price(: after sending jz off, we realised that we havent gotten the screwdriver from an optical shop. so went to one of the optical shop which didnt have it. the uncle kindly directed us to one of the shops upstairs which doesnt have it either when there is another optical shop directly opp it! wasted our time man. supposed to have dinner at swensens but due to the long queue, we ended up with fastfood – MOS. got a treat from bro again! thought i could finish the meal which is rather small but my funny dieting prob arose once again. when i saw the meal being served to us, despite being hungry i didnt feel like eating. but i didnt have much of a choice so had to force it down my oesophagus=/ had a nice chat with bro over dinner and went back home after that only to realised that dad is going off to shanghai for business trip on sat midnight! should have stayed home for dinner with him. but anyway...

went out with mum on sat to shop at raffles place. saw a couple of tops but they were too big for me:( went into this random shop where mum did most of her shopping. there are nice stuff there but they arent suitable for me. mum had a fun time trying out diff tops and the more she tried the more she wnated to buy them. so in the end she spent like 200 bucks at that shop!! gosh! so unlike her but its her money.

met gugu and ahyi for ENCHANTED(: they brought yengyeng along too! sneaked her into the theatres and the show is splendid!! love the song esp TRUE LOVE’S KISS by AMY ADAMS and JAMES MARSDEN! and AMY ADAMS is gorgeous!! she has good voice, good looks, and she looks so prettyyy in those dresses(: aft the movie ended went over to the airport for dinner. and gugu ahyi n jing all wanted fish n co so fish n co it is! twice in three days(: waited for a while for seats and got served by this pretty waitress! shes really sweet=D even ahyi n gugu also said so. anwyaies went to send daddy off and reached home at 11 plus!

woke up this morning at 10 and went to tm to help mum find her pearl necklace. and guess what? there is free jeans xchange over at levis!!! ahhhh!!! din check the details out cause i didnt want to know since i dint hav anything to exchange. saw some nice stuff along the way but din get a closer look due to time constrain. had lunch at pastamania and i swear i would never ever take any creamy pasta anymore. it just doesnt suit me. even carbonara:( went to tsc for ywd n wd meeting after that. enjoyed the testimonial shared by aunty hweelie. its really inspiring! through this testimonial, it goes to prove that nothing goes unanswered as long as you have faith in it and the right ichinien. i hope that lianghua ahyi has learnt something and strengthen her faith once again. stayed back to watch a video clip on makiguchi sensei for the fd exhibition on the great people next year. ohman! its a really good video! found out so many new stuff about sensei through this video. the most inspiring thing is that immanuel kant [the guy with his idea of beauty as a super sensible substrate of nature] is actually one of the philosophers that makiguchi studied while imprisoned!! i must go research more on that bit!

so thats about it for now. wont be blogging much over the wk cause it is a very busy one. camp, mrboy's wedding, ntu, taiwan trip briefing - woosh! a busy week ahead for me(:

life is a long journey
a never ending one
a journey that will last for eternity

life is a search for people
a search for things
a search for experience
a search for the right one
just like fesem

in your lifetime
you will carry out this search
to find for the right one
the right education
the right friends
the right interest
the right career path
the right experience
the right person

and this is just like FESEM
you spend half of your time searching for the right ones
without knowing where you are heading
without knowing where they are
without knowing how they look like
without knowing how long it will take
you just continue searching and searching
zooming in and out occasionally of the details

when you zoomed in and get a closer look
you thought you found it
but in actual fact
sad to say
you didnt find it

and for that moment
you might think that you have just wasted time
but you might not
cause through this search
you will definitely learn something
something new

your search for the right ones goes on
and finally until this particular moment
you found it
one of the many right ones

you will then want to
pen it down
take a picture of it
for memory
and save it into your brain
into this folder of
‘the wonderful memories’...







And the heart wants what the heart wants.
Even when it was complete nonsense.
Even when it meant throwing a life's balance completely into the debit column.
Even when it meant more tears.
Even when it knew better.
Especially then.



i never knew that WIKIPEDIA is banned in China.
the folks there have no access to this wonderful tool which is very impt to us.
how sad...

i m just being random(:

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FILM!

its really good. so touching. this movie once again prove that there is nothing more powerful than kinship. and daddys can do anything for their child. even ridiculous things like ballet. because of this love that the father has for his daughter, the piece that they put up together touched many hearts amongst the audience and his team. shant go any further or i will spoil the movie(: go catch it k! its worth the money!

had class chalet! yays(: i love 06V11 big time. thanks to those who have spent time planning and organising the whole chalet. credits go to alicea and althea esp. i love the time which was spent on mahjong, me n may walking to the playground while the rest cycled, did the spiderweb and obstacle course together, bbq, cephas's excellent chicken wings, debby bargaining for the yangzhoufriedrice, all the laughter and time spent talking. i really thank you guys for all the memories.

i will miss you all and we must not forget 06V11, the one and only unique one(:



verdict:

PUEN IS DYING OF BOREDOM AT HOME!! SHE NEEDS TO FIND SOMETHING TO DO WHEN SHE IS AT HOME!

can someone suggest something for her to do?

also, if anyone happens to be holding on to her 2nd box of tian ya xia yi vcds, please let her know. she just cant seem to find it at home.

THANKS(:

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

got this site from an email that i received from my aunt. it seems like mine hasnt change and i dont think it will. at least for the primary one(:

what a happy day it is today(:

woke up at like 6 in the morning cause had to go down to ntu. gave derrick a morning call which saved his life. if not he would probably have overslept according to him. took a train and met jz on the way. reached boonlay in 1hr. then went to take bus 179 from the interchange. should have seen the number of people at the bus stand. it was like woosh! its twice the length of the bus stand la. held lot of students and ppl la.

we manage to find our way through ntu to derrick's office and started on our first expt(: so proud of that and i m very happy. had fun learning new experimental techniques. and managed to get the reflux set up done and running. so we have to wait for 8hrs later before we knew if we succeeded. went back to his office and had a chat with him. we talked about jc and ip life while he shared with us about his uni and jc life back then. and i must say what a colourful he had led over his jc and his uni days. he also realised that whatever we are learning is very different from what they do in uni and he realised that there are alot of stuff that we dont know. so whatever terms and concepts that he was using all the while were alien to us! me and jz just burst into laughter and we were glad that he realised that(: then went out for lunch at some cafe in ntu. woosh. he treat me and jz lunch(: we were talking about uni's orientation for freshmen and i realised it is super disgusting. dont think i m ready for it! haha! ate terriyaki chicken bento set. it was a very very big portion. din manage to finish it XD then i left for trng.

trng is damn fun. with the sec1s and juniors, the place was filled with laughter(: had a fun time teasing jeremy! he is sooo0o0o0o cute!! and i managed to get him to be my bro((: yays!! sry! will take a pic with him soon perhaps during the camp=D

i m sorry to have hurt you but i really dont wan to talk to you cause you are a bete noire to me. i m sorry...

i love my attachment.
i love training.
i love my holidays w/o her pms-ing(:

Morigasaki Beach

With my friend by the shore Morigasaki
pungent seaside smell
waves withdrawing
Nineteen-year-old boys
Pondering which path to choose
philosophy talk
as the hours go by
My friend troubled always so poor
“The way of Christ is the one I’ll follow!”
Eyes flashing keen in the moonlight
to that firm heartbeat
the waves roll in

On the crumbling embankment
grasses grow thick
voices of insects- what kind I don’t know
Tonight shall we fashion poems and songs?
Music with a tone of ancient court times?
My friend in lonely sorrow
I too
but with one boundless aspiration
My friend smiles
“I’ll go along with that!”

That far-off world
my friend is seeking –
a different one
but I too have my Way
A long song on the stage
that never ends
till hair turns white
talking with the moon

I wish you all luck
my friend!
Next time we meet-
when will it be?
Wordless we depart
upon our separate journeys
silver waves sway gently
Morigasaki

森崎海岸 作词 山本伸一 作曲 本田隆美

漫步森崎海岸 朋友我俩
腥风淡淡 海波漾漾
十九的青春 一片迷茫
笑谈哲学 浑忘了时光
何处有希望 我有只彷徨
天国的路 孤心欲往
决意的眼色 映着月光
波涛声相和 鼓动在胸膛

迷离的野草 半崩的提防
徒来一念 意兴欲飞扬
把臂今宵 何不共歌唱
平安的祈念 托向乐章
凄迷的我友 默默无声
走向何方人生的旅程
问林肖月亮 可许飞奔
轻试泪珠 叹息何深深

我也尝试过 少年的孤愁
无限的愿望 人生原只有
在苦闷烦恼中去开拓
勿忘了你的微笑 相誓更相约
朋友你追求 遥远的世界
我们却是走在另一条路
人生舞台广又阔 何妨尽情歌舞
明月有知 白首情不渝
希望你能幸福 我的朋友
何时再会 莫等待许久
一声说珍重 歧路惜分手
银波 荡漾 森崎的海岸



she is just treating me as a transparent glass
she is just being angry out of the blue
she is just trying to make life difficult without even telling me the reason
what a wonderful and delightful way to start the holidays...
