It's the weekends!

It's really great to see D after a good 5days of attachment. & then shopped around town for stuffs. My legs are pretty sour and aches all over after a whole day.

For my attachment, the people are nice & helpful except the bored work scope & strong aircon. I am a scanner and was also in charged of the advisor database. But somehow, I do not know if I prefer working or studying. Both have pro and con. Awwww. Time to fly faster or slower. No answer for now.

Oh ya, someone stepped on my ck sandals that day and *snap*. I know everyone rushed for train in the morning but do you have to be so kan chiong. ZZZ. Bye sandals that is less than a mth old. My num havaianas oso snap after like 2yrs. Gotta get new ones sooooon.

Spent quite abit today. Bought necklaces, earrings from Perlini. Then met up ____. Here's 3 funny facts/jokes abt ___.

1. ___ was angry over her bro for not buying mac for her (she was super duper hungry due to not having anything for dinner). She lied to her bro that she had mcspicy when she had some sweet&sour pork to spite her bro.

2. ___ was angry so she did not bother to look at the expensive rackets he bought & threw em into his room.

3. ___ was !@#$% shocked by this auntie who tapped on her to ask for directions. Her reaction was damn comical; she said 吓死我 & of coz the auntie heard and apologized profusely. -_-"

I believe it's very obvious to guess who this ____ is. =)

Had lunch and popped over to Coffee Bean. Ordered banana choco, belgium choco & a mudpie. We chatted quite alot rubbish, crap, normal & abnormal stuff. Saw a couple displaying their affection. In my opinion, if you are really feeling passionate or anything, do it somewhere that has no people. It's really awkward for outsiders to see such situation. =X So control yourselves in the public. You'll be fine if you do such acts in MRT.

On Friday night, went out with Mr. Grumpy. I think I am crazy. Had prawn noodles for lunch & I had prawns again at night @ Adams Rd. The prawns were really huge but the soup was a lil too salty for me. Headed for Island Creamery next. Mudpie! Nutella! Thanks for the treat!

You're ever so so so nice. So when's the next makan session? Wheeeee. I am not suppose to blog abt you but I did not mention your name ah! So it's alright!

I had a great weekend.
What about you?

Work again tml.
Gotta squeeze MRT again.

:D or =( ?

MY FIRST TIME

He took it away from me!

My ever first time going for an autograph in my whole life. How crazy can I be. But I can tell you, I NEVER REGRET GOING k!

OMG he's super duper extremeeeeeeeely cute and handsome in real person. Headed down bpp for his autograph session @ BPP on Saturday which is yesterday with jazzrel (who is crazy over d now).

Everyone started screaming when they played his songs at 2plus. Was wondering if Wendy will go because she's oso crazy over derrick. Turned and saw someone who resembles her and it turned out to be her sis!

31/08: HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY old YANG/YOUNG, my sec1/2 buddy in class! Stay young and hype forever, & hope u can become a maths teacher! =) Caught up abit on life and all.

The host was Chong Qing. He was a damn funny person seriously! Derrick came out and everyone went crazy, screaming. OMG. The way he move is totally awesome and impressive. He dance is wu seh de lor.. The dance moves were so cool and have the 'seh'. Awwww. He's cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! He was nervous I think. & Chong Qing keep dsiao-ing him, make him so shy. Haha! Heh he sang my all time fav 无法归类 & 咬字, 你走天桥 我走地下道！

I sang along during 咬字 when he asked all of us to sing along. =DD High ah!



*SCREAMS*
AWWWWWW! I shook his hand and he signed on the album! He's really humble, sweet and cute in real person. Took photograph w him and told him to 加油 & he said thank you and smile sweetly. =) Melted after everything.

Hope Derrick will go far in this industry and venture into overseas market!

p/s. I think I'm too into D now. His songs just kept playing on my player! =D

Congrats Derrick, 无法归类 is now on 3rd position on yes933fm chart! =DD

'D' review

Let me share with you a very talented & young local artist. Derrick Hoh with his album Unclassified, 无法归类. It's released since 30th July.

It's definitely a album that is worth buying!

No.1 无法归类 Unclassified

This song is upbeat and groovy. I think he carried the song well and yes, he danced! Looking back into the PSS days, who ever thought he could ever moved and danced like that since he's more to the guai guai type, the boy-next-door. From a little "boy" to a man now. -Awwww-

No.2 碰碰爱 Knock-out love
Another fast number. I like the way he interpreted the song, a lil of bad boy style with the accompany of the mv where he had to work with 2 girls (closely). Haha!

No.3 你走天桥 我走地下道 Overhead Bridge, Underground Pass

A slow song. It was pretty smoothing & I fell in love with this song after knowing the "story" behind from D's blog (the mv).

No.4 今天过去 After Today

I prefered this song as much more emotions were put into it.

No5: 我捨不得Can’t Let Go

A song he wrote about breaking up with his girlfriend. Can really hear the sorrows and saddness he's trying to convey here. It brings out the sentimental derrick we see in the competition.

No.6 咬字 Pronunciation

This is my favourite among all the tracks! The very first time I listened & it was so catchy that you will want to groove and sing along. His very own creation- music & lyrics. I like the way he rapped; 初一吃素 初二吃素 初三吃素. The judges kept commenting on his pronouciation during the competiton days. Somehow I find it's his trait and uniqueness! =D The way he sang the song during the bpp autograph session is cheeky.

No.7 忘得掉 Forget
I like this track too. I love all the fast no. tracks in this album. Unforgettable? Hah!

No.8 我相信 I Believe
Another slow (korean) track but I thought he sang it pretty well. I really believe in him after this track. His efforts were proven.

No.9 我的连续剧My Story
I like this song when I heard it for the first time. It's really his genre of song! His style and everything.

No.10 逆时针忘记Anti-Clockwise
A song where sorrows and pain can be heard? Playing this in the the silence of the night really makes me think alot.

No.11 克罗地亚的天空Croatia Sky
Thumbs up for Derrick. A self-penned song. Talented! The climax at the chorus and the ending was awe! What can I say? He carried the song off the song so well! The sentimental Derrick is still here!

I love all the songs in this first album!

How can anyone not buy the album?
Support Derrick, our very own local talent.
Everyone ought to have one copy!!! =)

你是我们本地人的骄傲！

p.s. Just my personal opinion on his album! =)

Good Morning Nanyang Cafe

Time checked: 5.50pm (in office)

I should not be blogging but somehow my eyes really cannot take it anymore. Staring at the lappy with the database right in front is really torturous.

Day 3 already. Accomplishment? Finished keying in data of hundreds unknowns for month of April. Yes only April. 2 more months to go, May and June are waiting for me. But I simply refused to look at em. I am suffering from i-hate-database sickness. I became a scanner and filer too.

I'm not whinning or complaining. Just that staring at the laptop for long hours is draining my eyes. =/ I resort to googling for GREEEEEEEN images to ease the pain.


[/edited] home sweet home

Let me introduce you the Good Morning Nanyang Cafe @ my workplace;

Ciabattas

I decided to have something special. Not rice, not sandwiches but toast. Craving for kopi out of a sudden. Settled down @ the cafe by the window seats.

It was raining outside, kinda "romantic" and was over the phone w that toot. For someone like me who love toast, it is really a pleasure.

Ordered one of the sets w Orange Ciabatta. It has caramelised orange peel in it. It doesn't look very appetising but somehow after my first bite, I kinda like it. The ice kopi was also aromatic and smooth. FYI, I don't really having liking for kopi.

I realised most of the people there are guys (working adults). It's a good place for friends and business partners to sit down for a chat or business talk while sipping the aromatic kopi and munching on the tasty toasts.

In conclusion, a great place to chill out! Price wise is quite reasonable. About $4 or so for a set meal. If you wanna drop by & try, give me a call!

Open 8am to 8.30pm Mon-Fri

How's my attachment?
1. My boss is cool, holds doctorate. He told me that we (this generation), masters is a minimum if we want to be in demand by the market. Phd is not needed though.

2. Another cool thing is he told me he never take public transport ever since after NS. I wanna own a car (now)!!!

3. I need not dressed very formally. Jeans, polo shirts is fine.So far so good, just that I hate the whole chuck of data.

4. I created a blog to jot down happenings or what I did for future reference of updating logbook & final report (just in case, I forget what I did).

That's all! Will be back with more (soon). =D

Cheers.
Weekends are my motivation!~ :)

Pre - ITP syndromes

Hah!
Perhaps some of you will look like the peeekture above now!

Mood: Nervous

Butterflies in stomach. Worries about this and that.
I will always feel that whenever I am going to report for work the next day.

I guess I (including the rest) should relax! 放轻松~

Hope everyone have a good start at work &
those jobless kiddos, work hard and find a job soon! =D

Chinatown, here I come!~

Stop. Relax. Chill.

A relaxing way of spending a Saturday

In the morning, 10plus:
Eating ban mian & dim sum w dumbo sis.
Next, I chopped my hair and yes, it became shorter and "concave".
Whatever it is, my head felt lighter. =)

Bused to boon lay and bought a pants for work. & shopped for goodies or rather edible stuffs. Gluttons. I never fail to spend money whenever I'm out w her. Money flew away. Bought the nice mango flavoured chinese egg cakes aka 鸡蛋糕. We walked home! It was quite near though.

Late noon, 2pm:
Slacked and nua-ed. Watched a bit of 篮球火 and fell asleep due to exhaustion. Had a nap & boy, it was great to sleep in on a rainy day. What's with weather nowadays? Brrrrrr..

Evening, 6plus:
It was still raining after I woke. Bused to JP since I refused to carry umbrella as it is very troublesome. Had subway for dinner, I was feeling healthy! HAHA. Nice Do treated me sushi & slacked (gossiped, we didn't) at coffee bean. Brrr *cold* Had blackforest ice blended and he had the apple hibiscus tea. It wasn't my cup of tea. He added lotsa syrup for sweetening!

We were childish matured to play the fingers game. Do you remember the game we used to play back in primary school? Put your hands together like as though you're praying. Stick out your little fingers and try to hit another's to make em split. You're the winner when you manage to split open the opponent's fingers. My fingers hurt like ------ .

I WON! No big deal yeah but i got free amos cookies! 200g. I am not guilty! =D Thanks alot and it did made my day! You're one of the best peeps around me definitely. Remember, you're a reflection of me! Gossipy buddyyyyyyyy! ^^

End of the day.

Attachment in another 1day's time.

Looking forward, not looking forward.

Which one sound more convincing uh? Hah!

I hope everything goes well for the next 7weeks. =D

I will survive!~ Hope my legs won't give way because of the heels.

-

Life's great !!!
so learn how to S.M.I.L.E

keep your chins up.

I wish I can live somewhere with many sunflowers grown around my house ... Sunflowers made me smile!

It's just so amazing how people become so close.

诗人

On the way back,
heard this song on radio.

I heard it for the very first time,
but I fell in love w the lyrics and the melody instantly.

喜欢上可以在伞里靠近你的雨天
喜欢上可以静静反覆想着你的黑夜
喜欢的感觉就像晒过太阳的棉被
带着一种温暖的香味
把我紧紧的包围　我发现

爱你让我变成诗人
容易感动容易快乐
当你微笑望着我
就已经是一首歌

爱你让我变成诗人
变得浪漫变得深刻
有你经过的画面
点点滴滴都如此动人
都是瞬间的永恒

当我们各自打开了窗远远的思念
我终于明白看着同一个月亮的亲切
是爱让人换个角度重新看见世界
不知不觉身边的一切
都用心跳去体会　我发现

当秋叶的凄清终于在土里睡去
终于明白凋谢的原因
那是为下个春天　铺的路

Looking back on yesterday

Finally, 22/08/2008 marks the end of the last paper! I guess the watch did give me the luck and whatever I need to pull through this round.

Looking back, I am very anxious and paranoid before every paper coz whatever I studied doesn't seem to get through my brain (I assume).

Awesome. Not because I did well but it's been a torturous process to stay focus and absorb the whole lot of facts/ formula despite Olympics going on. It's coming to an end soon this Sunday. ):

2 weeks ago, we're having "study break". Now it's just a mere 2days "off" before attachment starts officially on 25th, Mon. Whatever that comes along, I will just conquer 'em. Nothing is too difficult. Studying is more tedious than working.

-

They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away
But they can never have yesterday

-

The fear caused me to feel out of place.

I wished I was a glass, invisible like totally.

Down the memory lane

Theme song for 2008- 晴空万里


2007: There’s No Place I’d rather be


2007: Will You


2006: My Island Home


2005: Reach out for the sky


2004: Home (JJ Lin)


2003: One United People



2003: A Place in my Heart

2002: We will get there


2001: Where I belong


2000: Shine On Me


2000: Moments of Magic


1998: Home


1998: Together

Sort of compile all the past years' NDP theme songs. Almost 10 years. My favourite ones are Where I belong, Together, Reach out for the Sky & We will get there. The lyrics are just so meaningful and significant!

Recalling those days back in primary school, celebrating national day means sitting down during assembly and mass community singing! I do missed that! As we get older, we feel more awkward to be enthu about such practices right!

Been so long since I've watch the actual NDP ever since P5's NE show. No tickets, staying home to watch the show from teebee is another better alternative. =) The parade w all the smart soldiers in uniform, Black knight, F16, fireworks are the highlights in the show for me. I don't really like the mass display. =S


Once again,
HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY my dearest Singapore! =D
I wish Singapore can do well in every aspect regardless of economy, education or whatever sector.

I love Singapore & I am proud to be a Singaporean.

One World One Dream - 080808

A significant date to be remembered by the Chinese especially when the Olympics is being held in China this year.

the "Bird Nest"
Beijing Olympic Stadium

Managed to catch teamsg on the live cast on ch5 with Lee Jia Wei as the flag bearer. They're the 188th team to come out. The no.8 seems to be related to everything. Felt so proud of them & hope they can do well and make Singapore proud! (:

Now I see Yao Ming!!! That super tall dude, standing at 7 feet 6 inches (2.37 m).! He's the flag bearer for the Republic of China, leading his fellow people. & yeah the smiles and excitement shown on the faces of all.

"Yao Ming carries the flag of China as he holds the hand of nine-year-old earthquake survivor Lin Hao during the opening ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Friday, Aug. 8, 2008"

Beside him, there is a little boy (not the picture below! that's jackie with him). So cute, the height difference! Then Yao Ming smiled and asked the boy to wave. Oh my, the smile can really make me melt! I wikipedi(ed) on him & realised he's married Ye Li last year in Aug. The girl also plays bball, standing at 1.9m.

photos on the opening ceremony taken from msn.com

**
The 8million toto draw. Tempting right, so much money!! Haha, we're like some noob(s), figuring the right way to shade the bet slip. Me & le.bb bought our first toto in our whole life yesterday. 2 out of 6 numbers. Awww. It's alright. =)

**

Tml's our dear homeland, Singapore's 43rd birthday! No plans, perhaps staying home to do some read up on IEF =/ and catch the parade on teebeeeeee. It's way more comfortable than squeezing with crowds yeah!

Exactly one more week to 1st paper. Total turn off when Jonathan only have 2 papers and she has no intention to start mugging until next week. -.- Give me the motivation to do well, I really want to.

I'm so drained looking at the pile of notes, tsk!
Argh! Kill that laZy monster in me.

My last post

bcomm; w ms tan

"G9" in black =)

hoxiaobelle (:
sch will be mundane w/o 'em!

over 100 of peeka(s) taken that day (tues), shall post 'em up after exams most probably. I have loads of overdue pic(s) for some other occassions including those june holidays.

I guess I needa get a haircut real soon! Messy messy hair ): Boo!

Olympics is on 8/8 & National day is next sat, 09/08. Fireworks this year? Dunno. Depends!

Bought & listened to Derrick's album, overall is a good album. ;) It has been so long since I ever went down to a CD shop to buy one since 200X. Recommendations on his songs next time uh.

Semester 3 is coming down to an end real soon. How time flies uh, 1 and a-half year passed like that. Met nice&really fun peeps in this new class, tb05. =) (FYI, BS self-select timetable so that's why we get to meet diff people every sem.)

Had last lesson of IS (Perspective on China) ytd & also the last presentation. Mr Lee really shared alot w us and we gained alot of values on life, not just on the culture&history of China.

& Finally, no more projects! everything is down & from next week onwards, no more sch! Study break! Gotta make full use of it! I want & WILL pass my IEF & other modules w flying colours. Failing any = termination in the midst of the ITP.

Exams are making their grand arrival in 2weeks time. & the best damn thing is having a paper on a SATURDAY! 16th!

TIME FOR HIATUS!
(random updates perhaps?)

crashing the libraries & muggggggggg like a nut!
home is not an ideal place to study. staying away from distractions like tv&msn.

GOOD LUCK to EVERYONE!

Peeps, do avoid staying out late for this month.
*Cross fingers* & hope everything goes well for all.

lengthy`naggy post
out of here.
i believe i can, so can you!

IMPOSSIBLE = I'M POSSIBLE
