exam results 2009 sem 2

finally, i can graduate fr nus and 15 yrs of education...with a not-bad-not-excellent result slip. average, lah. better than what i had anticipated haha.

sometimes when u see others achieving better than urs, though u were initially contented with ur results, u will still feel a tiny wheeney bit of sourness/bitterness. but thinking back, it may nt be tt bad, and u ve done ur job. plus u din noe how hard tt person has tried, so dun be envious/jealous of their achievement. be happy with what u have. dun compare urself to others. and live ur life u want it to be. it is hard not to fulfill others' expectation of urs, but if u r the one living ur life, nt ur parents or friends.

right nw i am gg to file for graduation. goodbye nus. goodbye my school (as a student)days.

stupidiness

went for the moe briefing ytd, and decided to hold on and sign on ltr, cos pooh n wei seemed hesitant abt it. wanted to slap myself for holding myself back, and my character of being easily influrenced. i am determined to grad this sem and move on to another phase of life. so why am i prolonging this uncertainty? and now i ve to email this jason/jacob plus make another trip down to sign the papers. some troublesome biz.

results will be released tmr, actually, 12hours ltr. i shld be living tmr as a normal day. spend the uneasy hours browsing my fren's status on fb or reading tabloid news. the irritating thing is that the hk radio reports the time every 5 min, which means that i will be reminded of my death row every other 5 min. hais.

barca won the champions league 2-0. finally some gd news.

tw trip prep - 2

planned what i am gg to wear for each day and packed 80% of my load (clothes, toiletries, undergarment). so far the luggage is 55% filled. cables and stuff shld occupy another 10% or can fill in the cavities in the clothes. so, abt 60+% filled. not bad. that shld be the way.

i hope i dun ve much to buy in tw. my shopping list has only books which dun occupy much space (i doubt i m getting a library of books there though i m a bookworm). nat's pineapple tarts and mom's kaywah biscuits must be hand-carried. i m a bit worried abt disneystore@hk airport, what if i see a really cute stitch there?

sis n i bought abt 2 hand-carried luggage on board last yr, cos japan n hk had too many things to shop, we almost wanted to packed some stuff back home via fedex or DHL. but tw...i guess some knick-knacks? haha...

dickies & wii-fit

got myself a dickies hacksack today @ causeway pt. for the tw trip, and also any trips ahead :) qt colourful, doesn't look my style, but bought it anw. a contrast to the tone of my wardrobe haha.

sis bought wii-fit today, and was slapped by the fact that her wii-fit age is 42. +15 yrs of who she is now. by definition, her stamina is "much weaker" than her peers of her (real) age. her kenneth is +5 of what he should be. me? haha...for a person who just had some hard exercise schedule the day before, it is pleasant to know that my wii-fit age is 20!!!!!!!!!! optimum age for a person, i tink. my body is still in its 20.

and my balancing skill is purr-fect, spot-on, bulls'-eye, not even fei zai can beat me to it. but so weird, i am always slouching and not getting to the perfect posture (my spine is doing a spiral-twist right now) maybe this system is not tt reliable, leh. my bmi is 20.65, while people with bmi score 22 are said to be least likely to fall sick, statistically. according to them, i need another 10 lbs or so to get to bmi=22. well, i just wish to maintain my weight, and tone my body.

:D exercise is good for the body, never undermine this universal fact.

walking on thread

i received my confirmation for the most noble profession in the world. actually, it is a half-confirmed offer, cos i am not sure if i can survive after 12/18 mths. well, no harm trying anyway.

called my aunt immediately when i got the letter. she is as happy as i am ahahhaa. and we went on discussing the graduation. speaking of which, i tink i shld go n order my robe. is it too late? haha..the deadline for robes will be 29 May, and deadline for registration of attendance will be 9 june.

haha, i cant wait to take my photos with mcmug! :)
and my aunt shld be flying to see me in gold robe!!! :D that's the privilege of chemists, who purified GOLD centuries ago. muahaha. and music is deep gold. weird. how do the shades differ??? i wonder.

AQ: 200

my AQ score should be over 200, which means that even if the warplanes start dropping bullets or shells, my first instinct would be fleeing and finding a CD shetler to hide instead of shrieking and shaking in fright.

and the shell hit me yesterday, unfortunately.

i made a mistake of going to the techno edge for lunch, despite the hellish heat radiating from the granite path i was on. and i made another mistake by choosing to sit at that particular spot.

i was indulging in my fav. indonesian chicken chop when THAT THING hit my head. thinking that it was some careless wasp which failed to steer clear and hit my hair, i asked yiyi whether it flew away. but the petrified looks on my girlfriends' faces told me that it was NOT A WASP.

horrors to horrors. IT WAS BIRD POO!!!!!!!!!!!

poo on my head. great. according to chinese tradition, i shld go and invest on some toto/4D cos i got the tou jiang. ARGH. sighing, i silently pulled out my dettol hand sanitizer and went to the washroom with yiyi to get rid of the white flaky stuff tangled in my hair.

i hate birds. and scared of them. i wld go crazy if i am in a room full of birds (second in the list: a room full of rats). yet i tortured myself by watching BIRDS by hitchcock. masochistic sia.

i guess what is more overwhleming is the prospect of carry the bird shit on my head for the rest of the day. i can argue that it is the new fashion statement, but having poo on your head is not that glamorous, however u wan it to be. and is EXTREMELY UNHYGENIC. wat if i get bird flu???? that is the most scary part.

shitty birdy. i hate u ever more. and i m nt sorry that u guys are exterminated.

daddy's recipe

due to my mom's fractured wrist, she is off the kitchen for quite some time, so my dad is in the sous chef for two weeks from now on. and his culinary skill is no worse than my mom...in fact, i find his cooking way much better. but, well, men don't belong to the kitchen, and my dad is LAZY. i wonder where my lazy genes come from :P

so far, the meals i had were B+/A-/A+ quality.

4/5 - the day my mom went to NUH for the whole afternoon and did not cook

Dinner: luncheon meat and sausages
grade: B, but it was an impromptu meal, lah.

4/6 - first day my dad held the wok

Dinner:

1. fried egg with minced pork & tons of chopped spring onions added (a bit too oily, but the onions made up for it: B+)
2. minced pork + potato croquettes (a bit burnt, but taste good: B+)
3. braised beef tendon in chu-hau sauce (soft and gluey texture which i LOVE: A++)
4. pork rib soup (usual soup, a bit diluted though: B+)

3.5 thumbs up for this dinner :D

4/7 - second day of my dad's new-founded hobby, getting creative here

Dinner:

1. stir-fry: pan-fried fish cakes + fried salmon bits n pieces + asparagus (i LOVE the salmon bits!!! it has a layer of gluey collagen/fats-like gel under the skin. yum: A+)
2. fish in green pepper (pan fried, the green pepper a bit burnt: B+)
3. salmon head soup with tofu (simple soup, with salmon bits swimming in it: B+)

4 thumbs up!

keep it up, dad. so glad that i dun ve to cook for the family this time round.

i dun like PDA

read this article in mypaper, dated 30-3-2009. i like ms shenton's column, and today's article is a spot-on. it really expresses what i feel sometimes...

she was saying, "PDA (public display of affection) is as indecent as digging your nose in public. it demeans yourself and ignores the others around you. some things are private and shared between you and your partner, even if you do not mind, PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE TO US PASSER-BYS. [...] you can tell your partner your emotions in private/discreetly, but please DO NOT STING OUR EYES. "

ya, i feel weird, if not disgusted, at PDA.

sometimes i have to endure sessions of PDA while waiting for the bus, which makes waiting for the bus extra agonising.

maybe one of the agonising moments was when i was back in JC, when i had to shift my eyes from the class couples, who were *gulp* touching each other or whispering words into each other's ears.

it made it worse when the guy was my crush. *sigh*

this is not paris, guys. this is singapore. an asian city with conservative values mind you.

and i really HATE IT WHEN PPL PDA!!!!!!

not that i am jealous or love-deprived, but...it just doesn't look good when i can see saliva exchange going on and little kids are staring at you, or it doesn't look good on the guy when he is baby-talking and acting as if he is in kindergarden. i am trying to savage your dignity, guys.

hais.
