"this is what you are supposed to cut and paste if you decide to participate in the tagging game.. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things about themselves as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog."

this is quite hard but here it goes ...

one. i dislike drinking plain water. i find it very hard and take very long to finish a glass of water. most times, i don't finish the glass of water :\ oh yeah, don't talk to me while i'm drinking water. in case some of you haven't already noticed, i take damn long to swallow even one mouthful of water so my response is often retarded.

two. i eat very slowly. i used to be the fastest eater but suddenly, i became the slowest and i honestly do not know why. i like to peel small bits and pieces off finger food like burgers, chicken and what not when i'm eating.

three. this isn't going to sound very nice but yeah, i don't bathe immediately when i get home. i nap on the sofa or my sister's bed (lol!) if i'm tired. yes, eww! i can imagine wei and fio with their disgusted expression to find that i havent changed since jc days! i only bathe at the end of the day before i finally retire to my own bed, clean and comfy :)

four. i cannot stand disorganization. i'm very perfectionistic and particular about many things, even the minute details. for example, my pens in the pencil case has to face the same direction lol.

this is getting hard ...

five. i like shopping for stationery, craft-related stuff and groceries. i can spend hours at daisso, muji, spotlight, ntuc etc just looking at the products.

six. this is super random but i can't think of anything else. i love mandarin oranges but i take super long to eat one because i peel off the white fiber and eat only the orange flesh.

and yay i'm done!

i've chosen to tag ping, juls, yinghwee, ser, rich, and marc.

happy belated birthdays to cherie and shermaine who turned 20 on friday and sunday respectively!

it's funny how you can be happy and satisfied at one moment,

seventeen's movie magic - music and lyrics :)
way back into love.


pop goes my heart!


enjoy!

love the shirt! describes totally how i always feel.

perfection sucks.

just heck it.

TYPE A
Shy, a bit of an introvert. You are more stubborn and like to stay alone quietly at home. To you, talking to strangers is a hard thing so you have not much friends. But you will still have some soulmates. You need to treasure people who care and love you. You are more interested in your own matters, you will try your very best to achieve your target. But you can't do everything alone, and just depend on yourself, learn to open up and accept other opinions. Try to get along with different people.

TYPE B
You are a more active person, drawing a clear line between happiness and unhappiness. You are more quick-tempered. If you encounter things you like, you will do it without second thought. But once you encounter things that you hate, you will wish to get out of it as soon as possible. As you are a person of your own views, the friends you tend to have will be of the same pattern. But once good friends, you will understand them a lot and go all the way to help then. Friends are very dependent on you. As you are too emotional, you may make a storm out of a teacup with your friends. You must learn to do things in order and not give up easily. You can try making friends with those you don't think you can get along with, don't stick with the same category. This will make you more popular and charming.

TYPE C
Gentle like a lamb. You have a high level of adaptance power, easy to get along with people. Very popular in social life but seems that no one will talk bad about you. You hate to have conflicts with people so you always try to adapt to everyone. You treat every person differently. To look at the bright side, you adapt easily. But to look at the dark side, you lack of character, although you are one big nice guy but you lack of charm. On the surface, you have a lot of friends but once you have troubles, you lack of soulmates to help you around. You must try to express yourself more and be more decisive. In this way, you can understand yourself more.

TYPE D
You are stubborn, like to go in circles and don't get to the point. Once you decide on something, no one can change your mind. You are a good leader in a group so you win a lot of trust from your friends. But as you are too persistant on your own thinking, you neglect other people's suggestions therefore you can easily make enemies. Although it is good to maintain your own character but it doesn't mean you totally ignore other people's thoughts and feelings. You will let people think you are hard to handle and you will lose friends gradually and may end up alone. You need to learn to accept other people's opinion. This will make your social circle bigger and you will understand yourself better.

true enough, the result i got was type b.

so tell me about bonds. emotional attachment, no? formal certificates of debt? ah-ha.

i hate FA.

went to the bird park for the first time today! i've always thought the bird park was some smelly, run-down place with birds flying about everywhere but it was totally the opposite. anyway i wasn't there for pure touring; i was there with ping to work as station masters under some events company for this nus computer club family day event. great fun, great food! since it was my first time there, i took the opportunity to tour the place and was quite fascinated with the birds - macaws, flamingoes, mandarin ducks (issn't it sweet that they mate for life and always swim in pairs?), pelicans, emus, swans and PENGUINS! see how self-entertained we were :)


many thanks to ping who accompanied me to the penguin place despite being super tired out! you must agree that the penguins are worth the watch!

i was in quite a good mood just now before i got home and my father had to spoil it all with his nagging. sometimes, silence speaks louder than words. you don't have to overstate your concern for me as if i'm a complete idiot who doesn't know that you're worried about me. i understand and really do appreciate your concern but i would appreciate it even more if you just have a little trust/faith/confidence (or whatever you like to call it) in me to be able to plan my own life. for goodness sake, i'm almost twenty, one year away from adulthood. yes, i do know that in the parents' eyes, their children will always be children no matter how old they are and they will never stop worrying about them. but they just need to release their hold on the children gradually cos (cruel as it sounds) the children will grow up one day and leave them to start their own families. i admit that i'll be damn sad if i'm the parent but i think letting the children go is also a form of love and i'm sure they will be able to feel that. i guess my parents, like most traditional asian parents, are the type who can't vocalize their thoughts and concern well so it always achieves the opposite effect. i have to admit that i'm equally culpable of this. as much as i wanna show them that i really do appreciate their concern for me, i just can't do it in the right way and it always comes across as me being irritated or resentful. what has happened to communications? hui, you gotta try harder!

anyway i was saying that i was in a good mood before i got carried away talking about my father blah blah blah. yeah i've been quite happy this week, probably cos ltb execution is over and that's a huge load off my mind and i've regained my motivation to study again! i'm not sure why the two issues are linked together but who cares? lalala :)

self-entertainment during conflict resolution class - playing with the lapcam.

getting ready to smile at the cam but trying not to look too obvious lol. there you go :)

cny went by just like that - steamboats, angpows, pineapple tarts, mahjong, texas holdem. gone were the days when the girls pranced around excitedly, showing off their pretty frilly pompom dresses and cute shiny kokkok shoes. as we grow older, cny seems to have lost its significance. ohwells. that's just life, isn't it? things are always plain and simple when you're a child; but as you grow up, there seems to be endless things bothering you :\


my mother always tells me how fast all of us grow up - how my older cousins used to be like my generation of cousins; how my generation used to be like my nephew and nieces and very soon, how we'll all be married with our own families and children. hmm.

the past week was crazy for me - think less than 5 hours of sleep a day.
came back from ophir on sunday night. exhaustion. regret. perseverance. satisfaction. pride. the cycle repeats itself every time. good job hui for doing it yet again!
plunged straight into fa and blaw right after for quiz and midterm. did i say i'm still severely under-motivated?
preparation for ltb execution - green man challenge. went down to ubin to recce on wed but it rained almost the whole time we were there :\
mythbuster tour which was an utter disappointment.
gmc execution today. i can't say how glad i am that it dint rain today cos it's been raining for past consecutive days! really proud to see our efforts materializing and the project taking off so smoothly; i really appreciate our friends particpating and giving us their support!
finally there's time for a breather and time to repay the sleep debt.

Zzz.
