Chinese garden is an enriching place where you can really gain alot of insight on the chinese culture and feel calm & serene with the beauty of nature and fresh air. =)

**
Next stop: NTU Chinese Heritage Centre

Not much photos coz no photography allowed. I understand that the Chinese would aim to project an ideal image that shows to their best advantage as to how they would like others to see them (in photographic studio portraits). However others may not see Chinese in that way. Chinese are being perceived by others through "mirrors" distorted by steoreotyping and stigmatization. & also how some of the 过帆客are being looked down upon by Chinese as they do not see these people as a part of them. (info taken from: Chinese more or less, an exhibition on overseas chinese identity/ credits for picture above to NTU CHC)

It's really an eye opening experience & no doubt we really learnt lot.

Perspectives on China highly recommended for yr2 IS. I learnt alot, not just the culture&history behind China, also moral values from mrlee.

The "mini sch bus" dropped us off nowhere near the bustop so we had to WALK all the way under the hot sun. Some others also headed to JP. I became their blur tour guide, but i swear i'm not blur.

Another guy in the same class saw me in the gym before. I don't rmb seeing him ah. Haha.

Had subway for lunch & slacked in mac cafe. Iced passion tea sucks! -_-" machiam plain water w fruity flavour. I expected it to be very passionately sweet. A letdown for me though. Next, Toy R'us.

puppets unite!


D most zilian person of the day w elmo!

HOME SWEET HOME. =D

There are more peeka but is really too many already. Spare your eyes if you are browsing thru the above. Shall update photos for bday & misc next time. ;)

###

Pride, Greed & Anger often lead to the downfall or change in human beings. Only when we know how to control the internal self in us, life will be much better for all. For instance, the recent case on charity association makes us realise that greed can destroy one just because of the sudden impulse which led to misappropriation of the funds.

Human just need to be complacent with whatever we have in life. Money is not everything.

Pride is another key. At times, we just feel so great about ourselves that we cannot take criticisms from others or not saying sorry when we clearly know that we are wrong. Anger is hard to supress and often we just let our head take control. Hot tempered is the word for many teenagers.

We need to take things in our stride and make sensible decisions in life. Life is hard, or not? Life can be beautiful too, if you're living it the right way.

Finally, it's out !!!

I'm posted to Chinatown Point for my 7weeks attachment. Good or bad? Kiss Tuas Goodbye?

Gotta rely on the squeeeeeeezyMRT w many working adults in the early morning instead of bus. There's lots of good food, desserts, durian puffs. What's there to complain? Hur hur (:

Keeping my fingers cross, casual formal wear

& 9-5pm will be the best for me.

请原谅我　原谅我不成熟
不爱你是藉口　好让你离开我

请原谅我　好想自私将你占有
你的寂寞就给我承受 换你过更好的生活

You never know how I feel

FCUK

Do you even understand human language?
I emphasized (over&over again) the point that I went out so late to see a doctor. I have school in the day and there's no time for me to see one.

NOT going out to play/hang around and return home at late hours.

BUT SIMPLY, some words from that someone just seems as though i'm sick yet i wanna go out instead of staying home. I was feeling so horrible and unwell. You think I will want to stay out instead of resting.

You insisted that you never scold or you are not scolding me but do you know the way you sound over the phone just cause my tears to roll down non-stop. The hurtful words are just like a knife that stabbed right through my heart. I just need a little attention and some words of concern. I wonder at times, do you even see my presence? Will you hear me out?

Not the first, second or even third time already.

I guess I never knew the real meaning behind a family.

Is it so hard?

To the 4th girl from the left & the most impt woman in my life

HAPPY 18th sweet manman

stay sweet & strong always!~

妈妈：
生日快乐！^^

glad she like the cake&perfume.

theBESTlecturer award 2008

MsKohPT
lowest in hierarchy, highest in the hearts of many

my honour to take a picture with her. (:

I really salute her, seriously.

she can make us go gagaga over her & also love her so so so much.
(-________________o' 'o_______________-)"

She treated us 130bucks+14bucks worth of yummmmmy food.

4 large pizza, drumlets, myfavGARLICbread & drinks.

So we had less than 1/2hr tutorial & it's partyyyyyyy time. :D

Had really lotsa fun, taking G8 pic`wedding/loser pic, games

IEF is one of the toughest module, but also the module that you can challenge your limits and have lotsa fun if you have her as ur tutor! To peeps in 2.2 currently, don't hesitate to choose IEF k.

Did my presentation for bcomm & got an A+. I was totally stunned when msTan said so much positive things about my eportfolio. I felt so damn nervous as usual. =/ I lack the confidence in myself. However, she liked the way I go about it so ya. Everything was just spontaneous. I did not rehearse or anything.

Her words really boosted my confidence alot, i really mean ALOT. & she said i was low profile in sch, so true. Yes I am. (: I applied for the job; Human Resource Executive. Somehow my interests in HR & psychology are stimulated and no doubt I will go for that in year3 option since many options like marketing, mkt comm is out. Entrepreneurship is another alternative I might consider too. I finally see something I want to achieve!!! =)

I hope I can do well for bcomm3 which is like so so scary to me. =S

Hopefully after I graduate, I can clinch the jobs when I go for real interviews.I felt really happy after the presentation. :D best presentation among all my screwed ones.

Went night study w basket. Was productive, completed AAA tutorial. Basket zzz from 2-6pm & kept yawning! Super not QIAN BIAN, RIGHT. When I started my day in sch from 9 all the way to 4.

"You wanna die, your problem."

To You

Z, I really appreciated your presence for the past one decade plus.
Amazed at how we got so closed over the past few years.
It feels just so comfortable and ease pouring out everything to you. The way we think is so alike!

Like what we say; awkwardness doesn't exist when it's just down to the 2 of us. I believe you'll be one who will still be a part of me 10/20 years down the road!

I felt so touched when you said you do mention me in front of others. Just felt very proud when you mention "我不只有一个，还有多一个十年多的朋友！”=)

你的重视让我为我们之间的友情感到很骄傲
非常庆幸在过去的十一年有你！

That made my day, seriously.

You will always be a part of me! =D

Loves,

Emotions over me

"Emotions are just way too difficult to handle. Mood has been like a roller coaster; high and low. I never know how to manage and control my heart. The mind says one thing but the heart is reacting in another way. You know what is right but always ended up doing the wrong thing. It seems so tough to do whatever is right. Emotions overwhelmed and took control. I am just so pissed and angry at myself. The facade behind the smiles and laughter. Sometimes it is so hard to hide. Let the summer rain fall.

I am not ok, a common reply most will say. However deep down, I know I'm not. Somehow I know I will have to get out of these crap thinkings fast and put it to a halt.

Everything got better on a bus ride back home, the beauty and elegance of the magnolia white clouds cheer me up a little."

Everything will be alright!



听完你说goodbye之后
我自己掉眼泪自己那么用心
那么投入到底为了谁
你总是说不必太过太过在乎谁
这样只会令自己越来越累

每天醒来 我都告诉自己要少爱你一点
好让离开那天 自己可以好过一点
可是一天不见 我就在夜里梦见你好几遍
醒来的时候才发现 你已不在身边

每一个女孩都期待
能拥有爱 能够被人爱 不受伤害
我对你的爱 我不明白何时变成了依赖

每一个女孩都期待
能拥有爱 never say goodbye 不要再分开
i'll never make you cry i'll treat you right
feel the love close your eyes
想让你明白 对你的爱就像深深...大海

Images of you just kept flashing across the mind.

School BOOs!

SIA LA!!! Tuesday blues set in.

Invisible hands at work, casper & uncles ruined my day.

为什么呢？ 为什么呢？为什么呢？

This 4words can drive people crazy.

Will I really end up cleaning desks after I graduate? T.T

Sometimes it just kills to think over & over again
Never gonna be the same
Accumulated disappointment, dashed hopes
In actual fact, just another beautiful fairy tale
Lay back & everything's gonna be okay.

My heart sank, not once`twice`thrice`but umpteen times already.

Thursday is another best day among the 5days

because it's IS day; Pespective On China. :D

I hadn't update anything about this module. I strongly encourage all to pick this up as you will come to realize that there's so much about China you don't know. The history, culture & everything.

Knew more about Mao Ze Dong & Deng Xiao Ping. The culture revolution brought about by Mao & the changes Deng implement after Mao's era. The students who stood in front of TianAnMen to protest for their own rights and freedom of speech. However, the videos that are abt an hour long can make ppl snoooooooze.

Had tea appreciation for this week.

Interesting.

想你在一起
我却身不由己
你每次伤心 我每次缺席
遥远的距离
我以为我们的爱情
誓言里还会有转机
没想到陌生机场
写下结局
各自的转机

我放不过我自己
转一圈回到了原地
眼泪是一种提醒
我很爱你
让一切归零
我放不过我自己
仍相信爱会有奇迹
人群中我正逃离
我抱着你
我们的爱情
还未完待续 。。。
