SMU GUINNESS RECORDS

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Today’s events are definitely worth blogging!

I got back my marketing test; nearly got full marks! Hoorey!!!!! Special acknowledgement to my coach, Mei *Muacks*

After marketing lect, I entered an "SMU Guinness Records" (organized by SMU Ventures) contest. My category was "Have the longest stare without blinking your eyes. Hahaha… dun ask me why i entered the contest! Must be feeling great and wacky at that time. Anyway, the highest record for that category was 27seconds. But I topped it with 2 minutes and 5 seconds!!! It was qte effortless actually, and would have last longer if not for the sudden strike of laughing bugs. On one hand, I was really happy to beat the record (’cos got FREE Olive Bristo Vouchers etc. Oh i think I noe why i entered the contest liao =P), on the other hand, I was really qte shaken.

Through the contest, I actually GOT another REALIZATION can? I finally realize how cum my grades were sliding and I dun seem to understand what the profs are talking about even though I’ve disabled my msn messenger. Reason- I STONE during lessons!!! Gosh~!!! frankly speaking I think i can still tahan another 5 mins without blinking my eyes, and this just shows how much training I’ve got thru the years stoning in class. >_< erm… kinda scary leh… How cum i dinno i stone that much during class? hmm… dunno whether got any remedy or not? =P

Come to think of it, I think the ECI ppl should enter this contest; i really think they will stand a high chance of winning, especially EMMA! I’ve seen her stone for 5mins b4! =P Must share with her next time i see that babe.

Anyway, gotta work on my marketing report. No comprendo por que hay muchos presentarse a escribir! Yo No Entiendo Nada! >_< (i dun understand why there’s so many reports to write in smu. I dun understand at all !) Okay, off to burning midnight oil~

The Cub is Triggered!

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

Actually I din really wanta blog today, since I’ve been blogging consecutively for the past 3 days, and that’s qte alot for me. However, I was (still am!) "triggered" by my networking prof. Both of us really have a bone to pick on each other man…

I was sitting there in class, minding my own business when I received a call from ECI. I merely said "I’ll give ya a call back", when the prof stared at me and chided, "if you wanta use the phone, you can go out of the room", in front of the whole class can? so not professional~

You noe it’s really not safe to curse and swear in your blog, especially on friendster? ‘cos obviously one gotta observe some kinda proprietary when ppl are reading yr entry… so i shall be more civilised now, "TMD GNN SSO WTF IPS 78 89"!!! coaz… frankly speaking i can list down more den 3 reasons to explain on my indifference towards this bugger (gosh, influenced by edmund lah… hear him say this bugger that bugger so many times that the word just got implanted in me! >_<).

anyway i’ve decided to take revenge. Gotta mug like anything for networking and throw my result slip on his face (kidding lah, i wun do that!) fine lah, i noe i dunno wad the fu*k you’re talking now in class, like UBR, GFR, datagram, virtual  circuit, frame relay etc,  but I’m just gonna shut your mouth up in my final paper!!!!!!!! *experiencing emotional imbalance*

the thing is later got networking mock test (non-graded one), which I din study since I went for supper till 3plus am with Jian last night (at least i did smt constructive- i spent quality time catching up with my fren mah). Jia lat lah, think he (who else?) is gonna jeered at me for the potential low grade. >_< oh well… Yixin banging on her Networking Final Paper!!!!!!

Triggered,
The Cub

Absolutely Delighted!

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Picture73’tis my souvenir from alex’s china trip- Napoleon DVD!!! Hoorey!!! For closest frens who noe me, I adore napoleon and have been eyeing on the DVD for 2 years! Hehehe… (nope i din hint him to buy one k?) So i’m super duper happy now! Macham Dream Come True~ Absolutely delighted! =)

Last night I received a postcard from Eric! All the way from USA… I’m so touched! *Sniffs* Mei told me that eric was undergoing some "shit-clearing" when he sent me the postcard. I was touched b’cos he has no "conscious" fren with him in US as he cleared his "shit" himself, and at the same time, remember to send me a postcard and reminded me to take a powerful stand in my life, and continue GROWING. *Boohoo* so nice of him… sigh… really miss that fella too. I’ll send him a card soon! *hugs*

so Thanks to these 2 gd frens of mine whom make my day (and night), I’ve recovered from my mild depression. hmm… think i’m qte easy to please hor… one simple postcard and DVD… but well… awwww…. so happy! =P

LIVE MY MARK.

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Jian, I read that "secret blog", and deeply moved as i progressed from one entry to another. Read the entry on july’s sms… I can feel it again. *hugs*

Germaine, I dunno whether to luff or cry when you smsed me, "i advance book you for next mon". Sigh… feels like donkey years since we last chatted or met up.  Sorry k? My schedule’s not intentional.  Call ya tonight babe, and yea, we will both buck up in our studies. ; )

Here’s my week in crypted summary:

I had that armor up again, more den once. When Can I EVER LET IT GO?!? Tired of fighting it all the time. Yet i noe if i dun win, I’ll never GROW.

Kinda embarassed to face Mei now. Think she really should leave me alone. Once I can’t bear the pain, I’ll buck up. On the other hand, why am i stopping someone from reaching out to me? tsk tsk… i’m doing it again.

I felt confronted when Mei uncovered my root problem. I really can’t bear to face it. Argh…

I really wanta "Have a little faith in myself, and live that little dream" (extract from an inspiring sms from Mei)

Really dislike taking baby steps ‘cos the steps are not BIG Enough! I need a Stretch!!! I need to start living my dream!

The highlight- That "little window" is very strong this week. I’m afraid it might grow. I’m not confused. I know that "little window" is there. I just want it to go away. Give it 3 more months, if my life’s not changed, I think that "little window" might Grow Stronger! Sucks… I better start doing smt abt the other "bigger window". Jian and Dianna, wish me luck! =P Even if you can’t guess it right, just wish me gd luck anyway! =)

Alright… i’m going off now for spanish class liao. Hasta manana… Will "have faith in myself, and live my little dream!"

LIVE MY MARK.

1st encounter with Work and Family

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

oh dear, I’m stuck here in a 3-hour lecture on Work and Family (This is my 1st lesson). I was late for the class, but gosh… the prof’s later than me. So slack can?!? Took this course ‘cos I tot I can learn smt abt striking an equilibrium on work and family, and being able to balance my time efficiently b/w the two. But sounds like this course is more on Sociology of Work and Family- analyzing what contitutes work, and that of family in the society and understanding the dynamics behind these 2 notions as a whole. Sounds like taking a module in NUS again… hmm… okay, I’m not complaining as of yet ‘cos it’s kinda refreshing to have such a super slack prof whom thinks on an abstract level. I’m particularly amused by the weightage as well - 20% class participation, 40% each for a group project and report. Woah… it’s so gd to have a change from the usual- 20% class participation, 10% each for 2 assignments, 15% mid term paper, 35% project, and 10% final paper. Reminds me of those days in NUS FASS… kinda miss that smtimes.

Had a great lunch today with alex! was catching up with him on his china trip and i was really amused and amazed by his experiences:

alex: woah… i was treated like a KING in my cousin’s place. "chan chan chi da yu da rou"… (he went on describing the food in details) you noe there’s this delicacy "mei cai kou rou" in china, where the fats are so thick that your intellect will dispel you from eating it. But when you put it in your mouth, the fats melted and at this point, you experience a Paradigm Shift as you indulge in the food and the electronic waves send to your brain tell you that this is heavenly! But at the same time, your intellect tells you that it’s too sinful and that you’re eating fats… *with that pained look on his face like he’s undergoing an emotional struggle*

oneheart: *very amused by his expression* hahaha…

hmm… sounds like i miss out alot by not going to china with my dad last year. sigh… next time will make up for it.

okay, back to the course again… the prof loves to share his life stories btw… and it seems qte a pity not to be sucked into his wonderful stories and be intellectual stimulated by them, not to mention hone my stoning abilities! Anyway I’ll remember to bring my laptop for this course for the next 6 weeks.

acknowledgement to moses for lending me his laptop. *hugs* thanks… dunno how to cope thru this 3-hour otherwise. =)

The Better Toy Place!

Saturday, October 15th, 2005

Picture152Had a fulfilling day today. Spent some quality time window- shopping with Dianna! We walked from PS to heeren and then from Taka to wisma. Where else? It’s nearer my sch can? Plus I had to go to sch early today for pair programming with Alwyn mah. Oh, coding was actually not so daunting with this little guru beside me. Phew! =)

Check out this cute, little, match-box like musical miniature. It’s as small as a match box, and when you wind it (look closely at the winding mechanism), it will play you a tune. This lovely, irresistable gizmo is found at takashimaya level 4, unit no. #04-02F, at The Better Toy Place, and priced at $12.90. You get to choose from tunes like "hey jude", "moon river", "my heart will go on", "yesterday", "bolero", "mozert piece"…. Boohoo… I want ONE!!! When Dianna showed me the musical box, I fell in love with it at 1st sight. Heh… As i couldn’t bear to splurge on myself, I carried and played "bolero" as we went around the shop. I played it so many times till dianna was sick and tired of that tune! hahaha… hey gal… i really like that tune mah, ‘cos got significance one can?
Bolero was the tune that caught my attention during the 1st musical play we attended in NUS University Hall, and the tune you composed for me on my hp one day when I was feeling rather down. So i doubt I’ll forget or get sick and tired of that tune. *hugs*

Anyway you guys should really check this shop out man. Other than the interesting musical box, another thing that caught my eye was the harmonica necklance. There are 3 colours- red, orange and blue. Very CUTE and LOVELY can, especially the orange one? I’ve always like harmonica even though i can’t play that instrument. Anyway this lovely necklace costs $14.90 only. yah… actually I’m qte a nice fren… now and den I will drop hints for my frens on what to get for me on my bday. Liddat can save them some trouble you see… heh… =P

Here’s some acknowledgements I wanta make- Jian and my god di said that they couldn’t leave a comment for me albeit after logging in to friendster. I suspect Dianna wouldn’t be able to say hi too, nor Germaine, since both gals dun have friendster. But yea… I’ve got your intent… thanks guys! Love you all… *muacks*

PS: Does anyone know how to solve this mystery behind leaving a comment on friendster blog? Can any guru throw light on why some ppl can leave comments while others can’t? Would really appreciate if someone can give some sound tips. hee… =)

Bitching Moaning and Whining

Friday, October 14th, 2005

jia lat lah… I’m super slacked the whole day. Really couldn’t muster the energy to climb that daunting mountain ahead. Every step ahead is a torture, not withstanding the increased pressure mounted on me by other ppl. Okay I honestly do feel like bitching moaning and whining (BMW) now, so I shall begin:

I woke up at 10am today just so I could work on my SE report and study networking till 3pm. In the end i couldn’t resist my beauty slp and slpt till 2pm. alright, at least i still managed an hour of studying if anything.

Supposed to do telemarketing and work on my $2k project plan… but in the end I din even call anyone today. If Kelvin hears of this, he’s gonna kick my butt so hard, make me feel so confronted that I’ll just doze off in front of him to avoid solving my problems. argh… >_<

oso supposed to pia my report now, but I’m blogging instead. Dunno what the fu*k I’m doing lah… I’m oso supposed to mug JSP, servlets, http unit and Junit the whole of tonight so that I can start my coding this weekend. Erm… I’m not doing that, yet. Think Alwyn will be so disappointed in me. I hate to disappoint him man… the thing abt this project mate of mine is that he wun complain to me, and will willingly do my share of work bcos i’m weak in coding. As I’m certainly not a free loader, i must catch up as much as possible and let him rest more, now that he’s sick. Argh.. But i dun like coding! =(

Den for coming mon CCI’s session, still hafta write some script for Vice President address, invite more guests, ask ppl to do logistics… do this do that… coaz… 

and sun I’m supposed to teach Germaine how to cycle. Dun really feel like going at all! But since I kept postponing it since 3 weeks ago, I think I better stick to my words. =(

Boohoo… I have a coaching call with Mei later at 11pm. She’s gonna kick my butt, and made me feel so confronted for not putting discipline and determination in place for the week.  I have never dread coaching calls until now. I noe she’s not gonna put up my excuses, my bitching moaning and whining… dunno wad she’s going to do with me later lah… just hope i dun cry later…

Alright… actually after my "BMW", i do feel lotsa better now. shall face the coaching call with courage, and brave thru the night writing the report and pia-ing my coding skills. Shall set discipline in place. Will be FOCUS. Will stop succumbing to my sleeping bugs.

I’m a cub riding on a rollercoaster. My upride begins…

My 1st Spa Experience

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

I had my 1st spa experience yesterday’s afternoon. Bought the spa package at modern beauty at a super gd bargain 3 months back, but din make time for it until yesterday. Anyway I had a 45minutes facial treatment and another 45minutes of full body message. You noe, I do believe that compliments work? Really…

Scene 1
Facial Beautician: You noe we’re having a promotion right now. For a facial or message UP at $60, the 1st trial is $21 now. You can ask your relatives or frens if they’re interested.

oneheart: *feigning interest’* woah… wad a great bargain. You noe wad? I think my frens will love it, esp my aunt. They like to go for facials leh.

Facial Beautician: So where do they normally go for their facials?

oneheart: I dunno exactly where, but mainly facial-hopping like cityspa, MTM… (i only heard of these 2 mah)

Facial Beautician: Ic… I give you a free eye puffin worth $60, next time you recommend them to us k?

oneheart: sure! *enjoying her free eye puffin* =P

Scene 2
oneheart: Have you been in this industry for long? You seemed very experienced.

female messager: Of cos! *beaming to herself uncontrollably while allowing her entire brain cells to be filled with I am gd, I am gd, I am gd…*

oneheart: *receives an additional 10mins of message for free*

hehehe… woah, i nv had my face so pampered b4, nor message w/o a stitch on (except for the undies). it was like floating into lala land… snoozing off half the time… time seemed to pass by very slowly… it felt like i really have nothing else to do for the entire week…. relieved of emotional baggage and physical fatigue… and all the time i was thinking next time i must earn more money den get my mum to do spa with me every week… *thinking*
as for whether i should feel guilty of lying… erm… erm… erm… i wasn’t really lying lah. It’s more of a "i din really tell the full truth"… plus i made the beautician’s day you noe? I make a difference to other ppl. And if i were to choose between these 2 values, I think  i value "making a difference to others" more than being obedient. yup… i noe trying to justify my actions… But it’s well justified. *case closed! no more guilt-stricken as i confessed my sins* hehehe… =P

yah, you really should experience spa. REALLY!
