Found out at the end was that the particular molar had 3 roots instead of 2 clinging onto the gum and plus..the dentist said i had very strong teeth. haha and asked if i had alot of calcium.hmm..must be because of the milk, cheese and yah milo i am always having.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup glad the extractions are over ( and yes I know its not over yet)..but after saying all these, i must say that my dentist is good..very very experienced and yah comforting too just that i am kinda weak haha. Also, I really wonder where he get all that strength from cos he is I heard he is already in his sixties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, met up with the ine girls yesterday! Haha finally ..i think all of us have a great time making fun of Yvonne. And before the gathering I actually went trekking. We began in some ulu forest behind KAP and followthis old railway track that has been covered by shrubs, plants and what not . Yes the whole thing was totally unexpected for me (long story). It left me with wet soiled muddy shoes and legs cos we had to “wade” muddy water and climb over fallen trees, etc .hmmm.. busy week ahead with camp stuff and er going out...ok i will blog about other stuff when I feel like it !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-670083676854332673?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/670083676854332673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=670083676854332673&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/670083676854332673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/670083676854332673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2008/06/dental-entry-er-yah-so-may-not-be.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-1029692090688888707</id><published>2008-06-01T00:05:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-06-01T01:01:02.791+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i met one of my biggest fear yesterday ( the other er lizards?).going to put on braces soon *finally* and so extracted 2 teeth that have been with me for 10 odd years. yah i have been damn afraid of dental visits since i was a pri school kid, i remembered that the first dental checkup at school had me crying so much that the dentist put me out of the school dental programme. bet she must be thankful for getting rid of me. then for another dental appointment years later i had to extract a dead tooth and it was a horrible experience.been delaying and delaying having braces till recently as felt that it was better now than never. haiyo damn nervous on the dentist chair yesterday but in the end the extraction was fine.if i knew it was like that i would have gone for it earlier.will be extracting 2 teeth next week, one of which is more problematic.ok will definitely be nervous again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm..i would think that the aftermath of extraction is worse but not that bad too. numb lips and chin, dull ache that can be suppressed by painkillers,bleeding that won't stop so i kinda keep swallowing my own blood and yes the weird feeling of having 2 holes in ur mouth. now i cant even sneeze properly. bleah this is only the beginning of the torture..and the worse is i have to give up chocolate, icecream, brownies, muffins, etc ! biggest sacrifice man.  i can't do without chocolates la.must enjoy my life now to the fullest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-1029692090688888707?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/1029692090688888707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=1029692090688888707&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/1029692090688888707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/1029692090688888707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-met-one-of-my-biggest-fear-yesterday.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-3947205440114619112</id><published>2008-05-26T22:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-26T23:01:39.611+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i dont really know how to begin this entry, have been a while since i blogged.&lt;br /&gt;but anw,er yarh holidays started about 2 weeks ago.

catch him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw, had my psychology mid terms (all mcqs) today. So ironic, but the Psychology mid terms is really a PSYCHOLOGY test on us. Seriously, they predicted our normal answering examn qns behaviour and techniques and set questions that went against them.they even deny us of processes that the psychology textbook recommend for remembering things!&lt;br /&gt;1) there were 7 different versions of the same paper. questions were the same but arranged in different order. hence,even though i think there is very low possibility of students cheating ( i think good of people =) ),this method 100% prevent any cheating la. the people within one or 2 chair radius away from you definitely wont have the same version of the paper.&lt;br /&gt;2)questions were arranged randomly, as in it does not go by topic. it prevents the chunking processing here! textbook recommend remembering information by chunks. I guess if its normal mcq ,qns in the same topic might trigger your memory and allow you to recall and recognise some info for the later qns. But not here! different topics scattered around the whole paper, so for every qn you have to search in your brain what topic it belongs to..&lt;br /&gt;3)negative marking in place. 0.2 marks deducted for wrong answer. therefore, often meeting situtations of to answer or not to answer?&lt;br /&gt;4) 100 mcqs- mentally tiring. diminishing marginal returns. i realise i didnt know how to do more qns as i proceeded through the paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so in conclusion, teachers are smart but psychology teachers are much much smarter.they probably have done much psychology research on how to set qns. this is such a dumb dumb pointless entry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-8073565648182145681?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/8073565648182145681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=8073565648182145681&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/8073565648182145681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/8073565648182145681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2008/03/as-days-goes-by-hopes-of-guy-being.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-2219368165134773973</id><published>2008-02-29T00:32:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-02-29T00:56:44.131+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>quick break from pysch..&lt;br /&gt;i think sg reporters have been very busy of late..&lt;br /&gt;edison chan scandal, fei jie's passing away, singapore's successful bid for youth olympic 2010, crane collapse at NUS ,hmm though probably not as much significance to the reporters but significant to me cos it happened at my school and i kind of witness the freak accident from the arts canteen, yet mistaking if for a collapsing tree.I didnt know the severity till i was told! it's so saddening.. ok back to the topic, and now what do we have?

Next sem then think about the zero. i hope there are more feedback surveys this sem then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;next up: &lt;br /&gt;what modules to drop ( cos i actually bidded 5 mods alr just in case)&lt;br /&gt;tutorial balloting ( another tiring process)&lt;br /&gt;and take part in GAPS (very impt, &lt;strong&gt;delcare major&lt;/strong&gt;!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-4456094657427085014?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/4456094657427085014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=4456094657427085014&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/4456094657427085014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/4456094657427085014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2008/01/woohoo.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-489534682355531142</id><published>2008-01-04T01:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-01-04T01:21:52.522+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i'm back from yunnan. but i got absolutely no mood. its bidding time now, but i only get to bid till rd 2b. i seriously screwed my bidding process due to my carelessness/forgetfulness...argh&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-489534682355531142?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/489534682355531142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=489534682355531142&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/489534682355531142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/489534682355531142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2008/01/im-back-from-yunnan.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-5529065010936026911</id><published>2007-12-22T00:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-22T01:55:31.116+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I'm having such a slack holdiday =p..no school stuff, no looking for a job, no working...slping at 3am and waking up at about noon.my record was 1.30pm..rotting at home with the tv and eating AlOT. really growing horizontally man. &lt;br /&gt;okie, will outline what i did since last week.. i emphasize again i have been eating GOOD food almost every single day.so you'll see me tallking mostly abt food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 dec (Sat)&lt;br /&gt;Kbox with mandy and yuxin. Kbox lunch was packed chicken rice. no comments about the food, not expecting much anw. wanted to go to the boardgame cafe or watch a movie at first, but we decided to buy boardgames and nua3 at my place! lol we walked around carrefore ps toy section but got them at a boardgame shop at coronation in the end. its the same price just that coronation has a travel version of cluedo which is much cheaper! i got the cluedo set partly sponsored by mandy and yx got taboo(with sg words!). so we played for qte long at my house and all got crazily frustrated by me for taboo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 dec (Sun)&lt;br /&gt;Short meet-up with yuxuan at Curry wok. exchanged updates with our uni lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 dec (Mon):&lt;br /&gt;Lunch at Anchorpoint Zhou Zhuang&lt;br /&gt;First time eating at this Dim sum chinese restaurant that is part of Tung Lok i think. yay! another wonderful chinese food place to go to.I've never been to tung lok but price shouldn't be as pricey as tunk lok restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;anw, anchorpoint has been revamped and there are many "factory" outlets there. theres a charles and keith and shoes are at a bargain from 12 dollars onwards? but sizes are rather limited. oh oh and theres a newly opened disney cafe there too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11 dec (tue)&lt;br /&gt;Famous Waterloo St Hainanese Chicken rice for lunch.&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh...this is probably the best chicken rice i have eaten. and i dont usually like eating chicken rice cos im always eating it (the other chicken rice that i think that is nice is yong cai's, next to curry wok). The roasted meat and char siew is actually better than the white chicken.i like the rice too, hates chicken rice where the rice is just plain white rice although yah its much healthier..&lt;br /&gt;Hmm..after that went to shop for winterwear at OG Albert.Bought a brown woolly jacket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 dec (wed)&lt;br /&gt;Suppose to meet liying but she felt unwell along the way to meet me. In the end, manage to meet  mom and her friend for lunch at Putien, Kitchener St.&lt;br /&gt;hoho good chinese food again! lor mee, mee fen, pork chop and some fish cake thing.yah i am actually very into chinese food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13 dec (thurs)&lt;br /&gt;Meet-up with the InE gang.&lt;br /&gt;Suki Sushi buffet at Cine for 20 bucks! haha have been a long time since i ate sushi buffet. i think i didnt make full use of the 20 bucks, but we sat there for very long. cos we chat alot! hahas it's nice to see them agn and we keep making fun of yvonne. after the buffet we walked all the way to minds cafe at prinsep and probably digested what we ate for lunch. yet we didnt manage to play cos the place is full! headed over to BK at PS to play cluedo. yup i brought the set so as not to waste my $$ on it, the game requires at least 3 players hence impossible for me to play at home. &lt;br /&gt;Dinner at KFC and we had a talking session agn. hahas, fiona and yoke are good storytellers and talkers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 dec (Fri):&lt;br /&gt;Shopping at Vivo with sis. Mango sale =)&lt;br /&gt;Dinner at food republic. ate zha jiang mien which was surprisingly spicy. 'ok' foodcourt standard i guess&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15 dec (sat):&lt;br /&gt;bai4bai4 and lunch at paternal family's place. time is passing really fast..has been abt a year since my grandfather passed away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16 dec (sun)&lt;br /&gt;Visited the Children's garden at botanical gardens. went in with my cousins' family or rather my little cousins had to take the adults in. cos' i think the rule there prohibits adults from entering without children. quite a cute garden i must say. theres this water playgrd, a shaky wooden bridge, a tree house with a slide and many weird,interesting plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh man this is getting tiring and boring i think i will really just outlined what i did for this week...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17 dec (mon)&lt;br /&gt;Lunch at Queenstown Macs.&lt;br /&gt;Shopped for sportsshoes. Got a cheap china brand one cos i figured i don't really need a good pair of running shoes *ahem* with no PE now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18 dec (tue)&lt;br /&gt;Met Mandy for lunch and did a little shopping. Walked till our feet hurt like mad. toys are selling really cheaply outside carrefore and i bought donut factory donuts from suntec's outlet without going through any crazy queuing.Had dinner together with yuxin and xx at Waraku. small portions and pricey for what me and mandy bought! but heard the rest of the food by others was good&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19 dec (wed)&lt;br /&gt;hmmm... i think it was a stay-home day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20 dec (thurs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dinner at singapore swimming club.ate sashimi and fried rice! and i had apple crumble bake by my mum before dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21 dec (fri,today)&lt;br /&gt;watched mum playing the cello at tanglin and wheelock's. its something like busking for xmas but i think it turned out qte a sad case. there were supposed to be 8 cellist but people pansehed! omg so there were 4 performing at tanglin and 3 at wheelock. and my mum only knew there were so few performing when she met up with the leader of the grp just now. she wasnt nervous before going there cos she thought there would be at least 7 people to "coverup" in case of any mistakes but when she knew there were so few in the end, could see she got abit jittery before the 1st performance. hmm...but it was ok in the end. lol cos there werent much audience ..dad, sis and I were like the most loyal audience. hais..would be much impactful if there were 8 people performing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thats about it. finally meeting liying tmr with xx. and there's a class gathering on sunday with hopefully more people. after that i'm going away for my holiday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate timetabling!and i need to bid once i return. my econ mods have tutorials every week so byebye to my slack timtable for sem 1..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-5529065010936026911?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/5529065010936026911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=5529065010936026911&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/5529065010936026911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/5529065010936026911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/12/im-having-such-slack-holdiday-p.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-3690014818054268039</id><published>2007-12-09T15:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-12-09T15:14:20.446+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>ok exams ended on wed with a lousy paper. yes i can judge that paper.i wrote crap for the analysis of the chinese poem and for like 1/2 a page??! 20 marks?

Lousy camera phone equals to poor quality. besides she is wearing a silvery sequinned cloak and hence it look like a huge flash of light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attended her concert on thursday night. It was my first time watching yan chang hui, and so glad that i went to &lt;em&gt;her&lt;/em&gt; concert rather than some who-make-it-big-cos-of-their-looks-pop idol. its super worth my $$$$. ok, i admit i went in only knowing like less than 10 of her songs and the only song i could remember the lyrics is 记得. but i came out awe-struck by her vocals and knowing more than 10 of her songs. =) she is such a natural performer, whether she's singing the slow songs or dancing to her fast numbers. super zai and for like 3 hrs! it was like a gigantic karaoke session whenever she performed her slow songs cos the audience sang along with her.very loudly too and it was for almost every single song. that would be like my dream come true if I were a performer,haha yah but i think she has experienced it countless time before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the classic channel 8 drama theme song 我无所谓 is still stuck in my head：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;天天都有落叶&lt;br /&gt;。&lt;br /&gt;。&lt;br /&gt;。&lt;br

But recess is equals to catching up on the tons of readings piling up, studying for econs and soci mid terms, writing a 1500-worded well-argumented well-researched history essay and another 3500-worded chinese studies essay (type written no less). Both of which I have no experience! luckily the chinese studies essay is due later in the Oct but still, need to start on it. so, i think it kinda sums up that uni (esp arts) life is not so much easier than jc despite what we have heard.. Yes, i do have a slack timetable but the amt or readings and preparation work kind of compensate for that.

If they had 8-characters, I think ours clash.The summarised unfortunate incidents that happened between us are as below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The sneakers that i wore to Japan decided to open its "mouth" on the 2day of the trip. Needless to say, they were the only pair of footwear i brought there. So, i had to borrow yx's extra pair of shoes for the whole trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) A pair of green flats bought from Bugis street was like worn out only after 4-5 wears? While walking around town,the elastic rubber at the back came off from the right shoe and stringy thing tripped me a few times. I couldn't find a pair of scissors and as I yanked at it more rubber came off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)Malu incident 1:&lt;br /&gt;I was wearing a pair of sandals (that resembled a "ren2 zi4" slipper) bought from Malaysia Truly Asia.I didnt doubt the quality since it was bought from a departmental like store and not a pasar malam. The family and I were crossing the long stretch of road at Chinatown, between Yue Hwa departmental and Hotel 88. I think the traffic light is notorious for starting to count down so quickly after turing green.So, after crossing barely 1/3 of the road, it started counting down and my mum told me to walk faster. I took long big strides instead of running and then the sandals failed on me...When I lifted my foot, i realised it was only my bare foot w/o the sandal.*gasp* The strap that stapled the "ren2" to the base has actually broke! Since the traffice light had already start couting down from 5, (my family were all in front and didnt witness what happened which made it even more embarrassing), so instinct told me to take off both sandals, pick them up, and run across barefooted. It was a Sunday and the road was like busiest stretch with so many people crossing and so many cars waiting to pass through. I hope no one remembers me.At the other end, the parents finally notice what happened and blame was on me for choosing such a sandal.Anyway, i tried dragging my feet which looked more like limping to the restaurant we were heading to. I gave up and walk barefooted. But at the restaurant, it seemed impolite to be barefooted and hence i did the limping again and the captain of the restaurant noticed the state of my sandal.&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully, my mum went back to OG and got me a new pair. And guess what, she got another "ren2 zi4" sandal which the parents claim the strap is thicker and wont break. -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Malu incident 2:&lt;br /&gt;Occured on Tuesday. I brought 2 pairs of sandals( one birk inspired and another one of a totally different design) onto the car for a change since it was raining heavily. I got to school,hopped off the car hurriedly and made a dash for the shelter. After walking for awhile, I looked down and realised i was wearing a different sandal on each foot.

But good news, the family is getting a NEW telly, cos the technician who kidnapped our good ole tv has claimed that is beyond repair after meddling it for 4 days ( he could like inform us earlier). And so since good ole telly is under warrantee, we are either able to get another tv of the same value for FREE or simply throw in a few more dollars to get a better tv. So, my papa went to look around harvery norman today and i heard he didnt only throw in a few more dollars to get the new tv set. i think he threw in alot. I was exclaiming " ah..why waste $$$. If spoil again , I'll be blamed for watching too many vcds.." and guess what he said " oh.. then we get another free tv lor." -.-|||&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yay so the family will get a new tv on national day just in time to watch the parade if we do ever watch it. i think the reason we watch the parade previously is just to know when the fireworks were coming out so that all the kids can run out of popo's house(near kallang stadium) to see them popping up the sky live. now, we cant see anything from there...the other reason would be seeing the PAP members take their seats and the President waving to the spectators, doing his walk down the line of contingents.the family members will always comment once the Presidents pauses to 'chat' with any of the officers haha.aiya, but i would very much like to watch it live, havent done so since the pri 5 experience,even then it was only the preview but better than nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok big digression. about my 1st rd of bidding, i got the modules i have selected for.

Again, the cycle of the awkward period begins: being blur at all the admin and what not modules bidding, making choices,feeling small and 'nobody' cos you are just a Year 1 freshmen, finding your way around school, trying to make friends, etc etc. Fortunately, had friends for accompaniment to go through this awkward phase together and hopefully it will be fine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, FASS is really different from what i had thought. i didnt know we had to take that many modules outside our major .omg. I went in with the mindset that i will just do general subjs in the first yr and from the second yr onwards i will just have to concentrate on my major and if i want, on my minor as well. Actually, that will be rather true if one tries to complete all the random modules by the end of semester 2,but i find it kind of impossible? The whole requirements thing is kind of frustrating and you really need to plan in advance to make sure you get the degree at the end of yr 3 or yr 4. The CORS system is so complicated too! After selecting modules that you require/like/have interest  in/don't like but helps ur grades, you need to ensure that it comes under the requirements, ensure lectures and tutorials dont clash, then bid. Bidding itself is like watching the stock market which i have no experience or whatsoever. On top of that, i may not get what i have bidded and you need to rethink about your modules and adjust them to fit your timetable again. wahh.. stressful ar even before semester begins and i need to repeat this process for another 6-8 times. i want a timetable like before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok this is so unavoidable; thus i shall have to grow to &lt;em&gt;like&lt;/em&gt; CORs.

Its my second time there cos i wasnt able to go through the chest xray on monday simply due the place being overly overly crowded. haha but i was done in like 2mins today, in and out of the place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then had breakfast and walked about in the heartlander Clementi area, shopped a little too. afterwhich rushed home and came out immediately for lunch with my mum and her cousin..Frankly, i feel quite uneasy around her, cos' she always on some serious adult topics like health,marriage, responsibility, family.When she starts giving me advice, all i could do is to look at her and nod and nod and nod. But she's a nice auntie! And from her, i have finally confirmed that i am a FLAT-FOOTer. Almost flat. groans. she tells me i need to take care at a early age or else i will suffer from knee joint problems in future. Also, i'm required to visit a podiatrist to create an special insole or some artificial arch for my shoes. ahh i think it means i cant wear flats too anymore..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That aside, been boosting the economy lots over the past months. feeling rather guilty about spending my $$$ but i will think of it as all in name for the greater good of Singapore. In just these 2 weeks, i've already bought:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) 2 mng tops from their further reduction sale (wont usually buy mango, cos i feel the pinch even though tops are considered cheap at $30)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) 1 tank&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) 1 pair of jeans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Blue sweater&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Loreal hair mask&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These excluding meals have already sucked $110 out of me.

I've watched the japanese version last week and done with both 1 and 2. I would say i prefer the japanese version much more to the taiwannese one. Plot is at a much faster pace and i could finish it in a day, which is so unlike the long sappy draggy korean dramas I have grew accustomed to.Now, i find parts of Liu Xing Hua Yuan rather lame, cos the lines are quite cheesy especially when said in poorly enunciated Mandarin. I.e, i remember this line which Dao Ming Si said to Shan Cai, it goes something like that "如过你跑掉，我会一直追你，追到天涯海角，即使是到地狱去".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Garden" border="0"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Wikidrama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has translated to "&lt;em&gt;DMS : (whispers slowly) I like you. I like you so much that even I think it's weird. In my eyes, I can only see you. Shan Cai, I know I can be very annoying. But I want you to know, if you run away, I will go after you. No matter where, even if it's hell, even if you run to the edge of the world, I will be there.

Ok,shall see the results in a day or 2, hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tata..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-3861201244294683816?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/3861201244294683816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=3861201244294683816&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/3861201244294683816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/3861201244294683816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-revamption.html' title='blog &apos;revamption&apos;'/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-3033233174469913073</id><published>2007-03-19T21:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-19T21:29:48.259+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Food science&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;pharmacy&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;economics&lt;br /&gt;psychology&lt;br /&gt;business???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ini mini mani more.how how how. anw i alr applied for ntu, but more importantly are my choices for nus..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that aside i will be out of here in 3 weeks' time! the land of rising sun . so exciting =))))&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-3033233174469913073?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/3033233174469913073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=3033233174469913073&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/3033233174469913073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/3033233174469913073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/03/food-science-pharmacy-economics.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-457865910407885752</id><published>2007-03-03T23:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-04T00:11:28.986+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>this blog is so stagnant now..and when i login again after so long, they have already added some changes,moving to google or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ah, yes the chapter of our jc life officially closed yesterday. Thought it would be nice to pen down something about it so at least i would rememeber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unexpected pleasant surprise, what i would describe &lt;em&gt;the&lt;/em&gt; results.The "i am going to receive the Alevel results" thing only sank in on Thursday night, before that was like work work work.no time to think, and dont remember what happened cos' the exams seem like a thing of the past. In fact, somehow, i was more worried of where to go and what to study...All the frustration, stress, meltdowns and pressure were forgotten or at least the memory of it fading during these months. But yeah, at least all the efforts were worth it..but still very very unexpected. The only 'A' i have gotten in my 2 years in JC was the J1 maths promos and I have never ever gotten pass the c5 grade for GP. and remember how i groan about screwing up my chem paper 3 (many qns + stupid BF3), maths paper 1 as well as the GP AQ which i wrote utter rubbishy trash cos i didnt understand the qn ??? and the 08 ihad gotten for chemistry promos in year 1 nearly caused me to drop a subj...wanted to give up many a time while cramming for CTs , especially on econs which we tend to neglect after concentrating on the other 3 . I'm so glad that i managed to press on..haha and didnt give in to tuition which was horrifyingly expensive, credit should be given to mrs lim and my 3 group members who had consultations together!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok, so after this, more decision to be made, i still feel super embarrassed when people ask me which uni i'm going , which course i'm taking, whether i am going to overseas?? these qns have been like some sort of great conversation starters( to them not to me) especially during work and family gatherings.....still thinking ok? cannot arh? when they hear i'm still thinking they will like "oh...need to decide soon leh..", then i would be like" i'm considering a few options...", afterwhich i will need to go through the whole cycle of explaining what i have considered. sometimes, i'm really tempted to giving the name of some uni course which i'm actually not interested in just to stop the conversation. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways, really hope everyone will get into the uni/course of the choice. mandy, yx, do what you like ok? haha and xx think carefully since you are still deciding. just like me...=&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wanted to blog about work too...but dont really feel like now..tata&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-457865910407885752?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/457865910407885752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=457865910407885752&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/457865910407885752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/457865910407885752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/03/this-blog-is-so-stagnant-now.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-116834893014965498</id><published>2007-01-09T20:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-09T21:22:10.250+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I have finally found work! Its admin and starts next week officially..yah i know i am kind of late, but just glad to find one after 1 month plus of looking at classified ads, jobs db and jobcentral, sending many many applications online and going down personally to tuition centres, job agencies and other work places. I have visited the job agencies 4 times! And the job i have gotten is recommended from the last agency i went to. On the other hand, I keep getting job recommendations from the &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; famous agency but none which actually shortlisted me to go down for an interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I won't say where's my work place exactly but it is quite well-known especially for a major period which happened a few years ago. Its administrative work and the pay is below the market rate (so as to avoid internal conflict with the other temp adult workers as my agent says) and some will find it low...but i've got no other options. Yup, nevermind, shall take it as an opportunity to learn and yes to gain more work experience which I will need! Seems to be the trend that everyone finds the first day of work fun and interesting, afterwhich the enthusiasm  dies off as the days passes by. Hopefully mine would be fine,argh would be ..I quote yx "having butterflies in my stomach" on sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am offering help to my cousin on Saturdays. In other words, tuition la...why "help"? Cos its free.. yes, my generous father has kindly offered that to my auntie.actually i won't mind since he is my cousin, but its the travelling distance!! i need to travel 14 stops to simei and probably walk some extremely long distance to reach his house, so someone has to &lt;em&gt;at least&lt;/em&gt; cover my travelling expenses especially since now we are charged adult fares. no longer 55 cents or 45 cents! haha i sound so cheapo, but its true, travelling fares are exorbitant and i dont like it at all! Oh its chinese tuition so am I to conduct the whole lesson speaking chinese? I am not used to speaking mandarin to my cousins, would be weird eh..Then should i use english to explain the chinese stuff? That will be quite bad for learning the chinese langauge itself. I remembered gawking when i heard that some teachers will be using english to teach chinese...Ok dilemmas again. =p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to do volunteer work at tiong bahru with yvonne tomorrow..haha i no longer have to check the classifieds daily till after 31st March. And hopefully i'll get to go on the Japan trip with yx and the rest during April..yeah so exciting ! Oh and its high time to research on uni courses, sciences ? How how...i wouldn't mind hospitality and hotel management, but its only available at overseas college and not local universities? unless i choose to enrol in tourism academy at sentosa, see &lt;a href="http://www.tourismacademy.edu.sg/"&gt;http://www.tourismacademy.edu.sg/&lt;/a&gt;. Think it will be quite a good opening for career options  especially with the rise of integrated resorts in years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is my longest entry since a long time ago. kk, off i go&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-116834893014965498?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/116834893014965498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=116834893014965498&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116834893014965498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116834893014965498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-have-finally-found-work-its-admin.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-116772147677398274</id><published>2007-01-02T14:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-02T15:04:36.783+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>=) I have just bought one year's supply of books yesterday at the expo books warehouse sale.books are super cheap, some going at like 3 for 10 dollars! yup yup so exciting ,today is the last day of the sale though.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-116772147677398274?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/116772147677398274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=116772147677398274&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116772147677398274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116772147677398274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-have-just-bought-one-years-supply-of.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-116749324351379047</id><published>2006-12-30T22:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-30T23:49:40.086+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>and so 2006 is coming to an end...while everyone is busy ushering in the new year, our family just experienced the death of a loved one. My paternal grandfather passed away at a grand old age of 91 years old on Chirstmas Day itself . Our family members had more or less expected it , the week before, his health was deteriorating, failing eyesight, failing kidneys and lung problems were bothering him. He managed to survive through a similar circumstance a few years back, yet he was unable to pull through this one. I was glad that I had went down to the hospital on Sunday. Although my father didnt want me to enter the isolated ward itself, i could see my ah gong through the glass panel on the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could say this is my first time experiencing the leaving of a closed family member. I wasn't excessively upset but there were times tears welled up in my eyes when we perform the rituals of walking round the coffin,  seeing the adults in tears was especiallyheartwrenching.Though it may sound cliche, but this is really the moment that makes me realized the fragility of life. A few weeks ago, my ah gong was still one person, sitting on his chair and responding to us when we called him. Then, he already had difficulties moving. Yet, his mind was still alert, once he knew my sis was going to shanghai for her cip trip, he told her shanghai was very cold and she has to bring more warm clothing . And yesterday, all was left was his ashes...Everone believed that it was ah gong's blessings for which the weather was fine yesterday. For past few days, it has been raining on and off for 24hrs, but on Friday, the skies cleared and the sun was out. It was warm but it wasnt blistering hot, tolerable for us to walk on the road while only wearing socks. My mum says when ah gong was alive, he was a considerate and good person, even after he has left us he still cares for his children and grandchildren, blessing us with such a fine day while we sent him off on his last journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this would probably be my last post for the year, till next year then .=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-116749324351379047?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/116749324351379047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=116749324351379047&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116749324351379047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/116749324351379047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/12/and-so-2006-is-coming-to-end.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-116609139402305463</id><published>2006-12-14T18:04:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-14T18:16:34.036+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>argh long time no blog. just to say i am VERY jobless and unemployed. classified ads, jobs db, jobscentral are my best buddies now.

and i keep seeing it everywhere. chem tys, chem p1...constantly reminding me of the so stupid mistake i made in p3. i actually misinterpreted the periodic table. yes at this stage.just shows i was not in the right mind to do chem at that time. got the shape of BF3 wrongly! happily wrote trigonal pyramidal, when it is so not trigonal pyramidal. i can imagine next year's cambridge examiner's report: 99.99% got it correct except for one candidate who wrote it as trigonal pyramidal. ..or maybe they would specify its candidate 0728. and every school will wonder who's that candidate, then nj will realize its theirs. shamefully. rarh...and still have whole lot of mistakes and dunnoe-how-to-do qns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;studying bio option now and theres loads of stuff to remember. i feel like

forgotten in 10 years time and of cos until like er like forever..the jc years are probably the toughest in my schooling life. the ultimate intense mugging, managing the supposedly 3 yr Alevel syllabus  which has been packed into a mere 2 years and at the same time coping with those enrichment activites. i would even like to say that all of us are superheroes at multi-tasking.haha. on the other hand, these jc years are proabably the most significant one too, meeting other great people , adapting to the new environment amidst the many changes , etc etc. cant believe its going to end by next monday and yet it has to be on a not so exciting mood with the nearing 'a's. sigh sigh, why does graduation always have to end on a dreary note, why must it end with examinations..oh well what a stupid question too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its 2 am so byebye. oh and i love princess hour's sound track, if you watched the series you will like it too. haha so random.&lt;div

bathing time is valuable and sleeping time is..simply priceless..the rest of the time is rather tiresome...i was getting more and more demoralised as the days passed by for last week. the prelims kind of shaken up my confidence for the big 'A's. dont know, now i just have to strive towards the big one. my father kept encouraging me nearing the end of the prelims, that i have already ran 3/4 of the marathon and i was telling him another round would be starting in like less than a months' time? except this time its a 10km one and the prelims was only 2.4km. argh... cannot cannot.. must be excited!once its over, i am freeeeeeee...at least temporary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh oh oh...i was almost able to go korea.yah almost. my father realized that it would be freezing over there during december and hence decided against it. so now, would probably be some city in china. not that i am complaining, just that all of us in the family( except not together) have been there before so why not try a different place? hmm but yah china's so huge and within it, theres like a wide variety of cultures, ethnics and the cities are all quite different from one another. and another thing, i might be able to get a dog after all =))). my mum was like mentioning, she can get " a small one" if i do well ( to which i say dont bother whether i do well, just get one aft the exams!), hahah i am not sure if she's serious or kidding. but it gets my hopes up still, cos at least she is not as against it as she was the last time. i think its the influence from a friend she recently made, heh she has 2 small dogs and my mother would always go for morning walks with her plus the dogs tagging along. haha ok i shall badger them soon =).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for now, slack for a few days then concentrate!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-115894224980147971?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt=''

paragraph form), 1 for InE, 1 for Top 3 CCA achievements and 1 for Ms feng ( uncomplete). i feel bad talking stuff about me and just me, some things are rather insignificant but i had to keep harping on it, talking how great and honourable it was. on the other hand, if i do not do so i would feel injustice and lots more inferior to that "Su fen" and other guy described as examples in our Top 3 CCA ahievement handout. hahaha. and i am tired to keep repeating phrases. e.g" she is responsible, sensible, enjoys interacting with children, etc.." just makes me feel rather inadequate in my use of vocab. i need a thesauraus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway the testimonial done for ms feng is incomplete cos i came to the section of : Other Potential and Interests. which exlcude CCa and studies. and tht means i have got nothing to write at all. cos really, i dont think i have any other hidden potential within me. was there any to be discussed in the first place?  i have come to realize without cca and other activities, my life would just be evolving around studying and burying myself in books. i dont think i even have a hobby, as in a real hobby such as playing the piano, jogging??, um cycling.... do you count watching tv and and using the net as one? oh shoots, i should have just taken up some music lessons when i was young , at least i would have know how to play a musical instrument now. and guess what, my mum used to be a piano teacher and yet i know nothing about notes, sharps and flats. those black and white things are so foreign to me. suprise? i didnt know what exactly happend, just that when i was young my mother didnt come about teaching me and as years go by i never learnt.&lt;br /&gt;now, i have decided...for the sake of my future and for the sake that i must something to devote my time to when im old, i shall pick up playing the piano after the 'a's ! do remind me ..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

broadband link and since my papa was away in china, i was left stranded, fiddling with the modem thing didnt help. and he's back today ! felt rather mean to bug him about the internet but i gotta do my chem mcq online!didnt work out too ...haha i'm using my sis laptop and tapping on neighbour's broadband. opppps. realized the importance of the Internet, ah cant do without it. ok anw despite the drowsiness, manage to complete the chem periodicity mcq test. one hmwk down and many many more to go! the weekends are becoming boring =((((.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we had ine seniors' farewell today. hmm...its always times like this when you do realize you really like the cca and its people alot. there were indeed times we complain and struggle through to get things done, wishing to get over with this whole cca as fast as possible, yet there were some happy moments spent laughing and simply crapping with the rest of the ine exco. remember? although we had an exhausting time cutting paper and stuff at adrian's office but i actually do feel that was one of most fun part for preparation for Enterprise day , haha getting a little high and intoxicated within the four walls of the small pathetic room., talking and thinking incoherently like for me " why are we having games? why are we even having enterprise day in the first place???" lol and that has become the infamous quote from me. i must say i am not the most patient person in the world, having a high tendency to get frustrated easily.now suddenly , once cca is over and partly under the influence of mr koh's words, i miss ine! tsk tsk how contradictory. today's yvonne was a little or should i say very weird. maybe its the stress or maybe shes just excited about the food catered for us. hahaha. she went super high, lame and everything, casuing all of us to give her ' whats wrong with you' look, heh but we were high too just not as extreme . =p&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>i've been really slow in updating these days, it will get worse for the months to come. ok been pigging out much, especially since NAPFA is over ( and we do not really run during PE now) my body mass has gone up! more kilos due to fat and sadly it is not considered growth. i count myself relatively, how do i say it, dormant? um sounds weird. so my only form of exercise and hopefully useful one is climbling the flight&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; of stairs in nj, yup and walking from the bus stop back home. or the weekly session of picking up tennis balls during PE. ok lah, we are suppose to play tennis but me and roslyn always end up picking tennis balls amidst the flying ones all over the court. to exaggerate its like on the battlefield, trying to avoid flying grenades. yup, but we actually improved the last session, we had times when the ball when back and forth before it head the wrong direction or hit the fence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok, wed was community service day! the kids were younger than the ones in kids fiesta, haha so they were much much cuter.opps. the class girls taught them the actions for "More we get together" which they were to perform at the amphitheatre and its so heartwarming when we did it all together as a class with the kids holding hands and everything. yet in the end the kids forgot the actions when it was their turn to perform. hehe reminds me of the kids fiesta concert where me and the other group 6 leaders had to mimic actions for the kids to follow on stage. theres this boy called taufik and i kept teasing him he must sing loudly cos he's taufik. and another girl wen wen who told me she like our school cos ' &lt;strong&gt;we can sing songs'. &lt;/strong&gt;lol and i told her we dont do that everyday. also theres the monkey-like nicholas and super shy natasha. sigh...adorable. after saying like numerous 'byes' while waiting at the parade square we finally saw them to their buses . afterwhich we had class lunch and i skipped POC. sigh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anw fastforward to fri. SHOWTIME(全民創意爭霸賽) recording at Mediacorp to support the ine juniors. its my first time experience as a studio audience. was rather tiring at first as we had to wait in at the carpark and walk through the stifling flight of stairs before coming to the tv theatre. thereafter we thought we were late, but no we werent, we had to wait like 45 mins before the whole show started. the audience public relation officer were hyping us up, to come up with cheers and to practice the cheer ( which we didnt get to use during the actual recording). the audience crowd was rather small too but at least sufficient njcians. so finally the show started but with many intervals and pauses in between . the njc team was the first group to go onto stage and yeah they were good! felt really worried for them at first cos of the last min rehearsals but in the they pulled it off. as usual i think the ine people will always manage and perform with last min stuff just like we did for the footnotes and enterprise day. haha we are pushed by deadlines. ok so we did well but had less points than another team which got like a full and 1st ever 10 mark from Bryan wong. Anw, pls watch ( advet advert..)..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;It's Showtime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; aka 全民創意爭霸賽 on&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1 August ( Tuesday) 8pm-9pm @ Channel 8&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suport&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;S1, 芝麻糊&lt;/span&gt; from NJC InE Club and..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Call 1900-112-2001 or Sms ' S1' to 71199!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;(ps : not next week epsiode, its next next week,dont call for the wrong team!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-115364898116256344?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/115364898116256344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=115364898116256344&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/115364898116256344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/115364898116256344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/07/ive-been-really-slow-in-updating-these.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-115280841589905655</id><published>2006-07-14T00:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-14T00:33:35.950+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>back to the boring days. i have nothing to update! actually i typed an entry last sat, but left it hanging cos i had to go off for dinner and i never came back to it. haha so its still in the 'saved drafts' and will probably be there forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the week long break from CT2, everyone has switched to the "serious" mode . our class is like a lot more quiet than before although we are always quiet. ah scary scary. and people around me are so motivated which kind of stresses me out but it gets me trying to be motivated too, which is a good thing. but i wonder how long can i maintain it , i dont wanna tire myself out before the real Alevels come by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-115280841589905655?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/115280841589905655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=115280841589905655&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/115280841589905655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/115280841589905655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/07/back-to-boring-days.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-115182392518003636</id><published>2006-07-02T14:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-02T15:05:25.193+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>This reminds me of the email forwards many many years ago..nobody will bother reading the whole thing anyway(like me) but since I've skipped yx's tag the last time and have nothing to do too , here goes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 Favs:&lt;br /&gt;Fav colour: Purple!

Still, i thought they did GREAT.. with none of us on stage at all but me and jaime were like mimicking the actions behind the audience just to guide them along. hmm...they didnt win anything at the end of the camp,with us(grp 6 leaders) feeling kind of sad for them and a little sore.ah ...yeah though the camp was extremely tiring ( getting up early in the morning,listening to the cries,demands,screams of the children, taking the train back at night) nonetheless it was a wonderful experience =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S-U-P-E-R SUPER IS WHO WE ARE&lt;br /&gt;S-O-L-I-D SOLID IS WHAT WE ARE&lt;br /&gt;........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kids love this cheer.

I slipped and fell down while bathing last week! how stupid and kena big bruises on my elbow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Da Vinci Code with class peeps, first-of- a -kind group!Movie wasn't fantistically nice cos there wasnt a specific climax and the movie ended off rather weirdly. But that's how the book went i supposed ( tsk tsk dont really remember), yup still, the movie allows visualising, "translating" the words to actual pictures.Went to marina food centre and had interesting and amusing gossiping session. Afterwhich, we slacked at esplanade's roof top.Its my first time up at the rooftop, pretty sight there and good music too! makes me feel arty and cultured. =p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. FUNTASIA. hmmm nothing much to say about. oh yah, me, yoooks and others acted as door/ corridor guarders outside the hall. some people are just irritating,its not like i wanna stop them from going somewhere! i am forced to cos' thats our job! as for the funfair itself,  was very overwhelmed by the huge crowd of people. lets just say i prefer the quieter side of nj.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. AGM. My first, since i missed last year's . qte alright to listen to their speeches and i did my part in voting. and i was rather accurate in my votes =p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Sports meet. Exciting at times, but those exciting races literally flew past in like less than a min. so its high for awhile and soon it dies down. but had fun with my class, doing their singing and unique version of cheering. jingying's " Ni shi feng er, wo shi sha......." to cheer ms feng on. hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yay i m gg to sleep. i need sleep. i love sleeping.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-114849073233581162?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/114849073233581162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=114849073233581162&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114849073233581162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114849073233581162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/05/i-know-that-i-havent-been-blogging-for.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-114754241393775159</id><published>2006-05-14T01:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-14T01:54:46.566+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>just finished doing a last minute mama's day card. personally drew it, cos 1) didnt buy a card 2) standard cards designed from Hallmark's computer prog tend to be less special. and its been a long time since i drew a card. so while doing chem, i suddenly thought of it and decided to make one. so spontaneous. hee..but its like quite childish? sadly, artistic skills have been stagnant since secondary school&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a big pile of homework to be done over the weekend and its mother's day tmr.. shldnt kids have lesser homework to celebrate the greatness of all mothers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok, shall now proceed with my mission,2nd attempt : tip-toeing upstairs to put the card right in front of my parents' bedroom door. the mission failed just now as i heard noises and came scampering down.=p&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-114754241393775159?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/114754241393775159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=114754241393775159&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114754241393775159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114754241393775159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/05/just-finished-doing-last-minute-mamas.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-114736715221568468</id><published>2006-05-12T01:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-12T01:08:30.330+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>double yays , new entry. ine's coming to an end soon and the last few weeks are spent gearing up the j1s, 3rd exco selection( yes 3rd! we're the 2nd batch!) and project ideas.all the events have made me remembered about last year's exco selection. i only remembered asking around who's running and on the night of college day ,i grabbed yvonne along with me and took the exco application form from the ine notice board last minute. hmm...why did i even ran ? i've always doubted my leadership ability, as in i have to admit i am not a strong person who can really influnce the people around me , one who can really lead and motivate, one who's smart and have brilliant ideas or one who can handle politics well. but i took the form as i had in mind that i did not want my jc life to be without anything, i wanted to be committed to something throughout this 1 1/2 years. i think this had to do with cca sessions in secondary school, all along in nanyang, guides heavily involved every single member, there was always something to do every week for everyone. so i guess this needs to be carried on, i need to be involved and really work and commit to a purpose. so i managed to get into exco.yup but i realized i might not have been able to get in if there were many more people running. wasn't outstanding or anything just a normal member who has been going for cca religiously...when we took over, the exco basically made up the club! one by one the other members left and few remained. so most of time club meetings were cosy , small group affairs and we worked among oursleves comfortably this way. however, year 2 came and new members entered. i daresay we did great in getting more members and trying to keep them.yet, there's this sudden switch and we are managing many more people now , and yes, disorganization sets in at times especially at the start of meetings. my leadership skills are tested , again, i feel that my capabilites in leading are limited. i take backstage admin roles ok, but i dont speak and express myself well, realized i am indeed sloooowwwwww, i cant catch ideas fast, like i've mentioned i am not smart and sometimes i do think i live in this naive little world of my own. i would believe that everyone's nice, not having an ulterior motive and theres always a reason explaining their actions.oh...and what i dislike most is i tend to be reliant on others. going through the batch of potential exco applicant forms makes me wonder if i myself have even fulfilled the criteria of a good leader.i think not. but a year has gone and why havent i been doing anything about it. uh ok, just an honest self-evaluation. yup, all that said, i did have a super super great time in ine, all thanks to the company. the start-up competition, bootcamp,crapping, laughing, painfully long meetings, enterprise day preparation,having dinner at curry wok were fun =). credits to j2s, huifen! yoketeng! yvonne! fiona! sharon! lokexie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shall now mentioned about stuff we had today. civics period was hilarious when we begin our *ahem ahem* cultural mapping bukit timah trail itinerary group discussion. we were supposed to design this trail in bukit timah for um yeah fellow residents of bukit timah to take part in.so nj as part of the community shall involve the whole of bukit timah to show our love for our neighbourhood. wonderful. so anyways, our group was looking at the various ghost trails shown on the cultural mapping brochures and we started digressing, talking about the building beside nj. there's this rather run-down, looks abandoned and dilapidated huge red and white building behind nj's tc/ta block ( its not in nj itself). its creepy cos nobody knows what it is exactly for and theres this dirt road leading into the building, at the gate, i heard there's a sign that says "all trepassers will be prosecuted...." i mean the sign itself is ok and normal, but such a sign on a old, abandoned building is scary.ms feng suggested maybe its some intelligence unit cos' its government's land and if there's such a huge space un-utilised, it would have long been taken down. then the group began to have crazy ideas. like yvonne says maybe it only looks run-down on the front to mislead us, once you enter its all high tech... imagine all the people in those protective suits working on some top-secret defence technology, military ammunitions.and i said maybe its the nj's elites training centre. our group got high and suspected that maybe there were people spying on us from the building and listening to our conversations about them ( the building could be seen from the classroon we were in).lol. made us so suspicious that until chemistry double period, we were still looking at the building, at least for me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-114736715221568468?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/114736715221568468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=114736715221568468&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114736715221568468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114736715221568468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/05/double-yays-new-entry.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-114637470866984985</id><published>2006-04-30T13:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-30T13:25:08.693+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i woke with a shock:oh shoots, i cant bend my arms!&lt;br /&gt;the arms can bend but its with pain.stoooopeeeed inclined pull ups. the napfa was yesterday and i didnt manage to hit D for inclined. so redid it and was given a sympathy D (psst..actually i had to do 1 more). but anways its happy happy cos' this will be the last time i am going to do inclined pull ups, shuttle run, standing broadjump, yadda..hmm oh no, theres still 2.4km next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after all the so called strenuous exercise,i had a great dinner at Spring Court (chinatown). its for early Mother's Day celebration.yummy chinese food they have there and if you chock up a bill of $77,you'll get a Peking Duck for just 77 cents!

BORED :{ @$^@&amp;*#, explaining the lack of updates. i have once reached the time of the year when i am getting bored from attending school. it happened last year too, around april in fact. i cried for being bored ...actually , its more or less happening all year round, but the feeling of boredom is more extreme now. i'm bored, and i do not have the the motivation to do my work. i've been telling myself: yes, i must complete all these blah blah work by today,i end up watching no brainer taiwanese shows and what am i doing now? sighs,expecially for weekends, i had 2 full days and i just slept continously. am such a big pig.why?&lt;br /&gt;we had to define 'boredom' during GP class today, for me, boredom= the feeling of ultimate sianess. haha, i had no words or short phrase to replace boredom.&lt;br /&gt;to make things worse, my sis is enjoying herself far far away in shanghai where she will be doing much retail therapy. i want to be somewhere too....just let me out at least. its always home or school. last fri's aristal doesnt count, cos' its with school. anyways aristal was real good stuff, i am awed by all njc's dance groups, super worthy of the $15 tix cos' we actually sat right in front, having a very good view of all the excitement on the stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;back to whining. sorry, i hate whining but i am always doing that unknowingly. =p.i want stuff, like.... or you may buy them for me,i really dont mind ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/purplebuds/kenhirai.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ken Hirai's newest compilation album! I've always admired his voice, music, but have not really listen to any of his songs, just the love revolution theme song, grandfather's clock and a few others which i know-name-not. Since this is the compilation album, it should be quite worth the money. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/purplebuds/soler.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Soler's Mandarin album ( not the cantonese one),Zhi Jue, Intuition.

Just tht i had lunch before that; thus my stomach only had space for 1 round, sadly.i like roast potato! all the sauces! roast chicken!caramel! everyone should go try!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tues: Farm Ride. cycling for 5 hrs was fun but tiring on the legs. the farms were just boring, warm and yah smelly. sorry to say but having seen natural farms, i just felt singapore is really unsuitable for rearing cows.its just too small with insufficient space for nice wide broad pastures for cows to roam about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wed: China Immersion Programme Sharing and Uni Talks.&lt;br /&gt;Reminicised about the good times we had in China and i earned a packet of twisties. i actually went for all the NUS talks,in-coincidentally. the NUS Pyschology Professor was very humorous, tickled the LT crowd unlike the other speakers. But after the talks, i am still blur aboout my direction in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thurs: 8 hr food trial.was rather disappointing it wasnt shi-zi lu kou . haha we had to try and rate prawn mee and roti prata at 6 different food centres, meaning we had to eat the same food 6 times. The route we had was horrible, requiring us to head back and forth from other places to bukit timah area like 4 times..we gave up half-way and cheated a little about the prawn mee, and the teachers allowed us to do 4 stops only.heee...some recommendations:cheese and egg prata at adam is nice! prawn mee, tangyuan with tau huay at bukit timah food centre is good too. seems like i keep going on how gd food is this whole week =p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fri: Art Prog (Puppet show) , Chinese movie appreciation ( perhaps Love)&lt;br /&gt;I didnt know there was assembly today! the uncle was clsoing the gate and went " girl, going to start already you know" and i was ????? ,rushed into the school with my half-grey uniform.&lt;br /&gt;the puppet show by Shi Zhi Bang was good, i am particularly impressed by how they manage to bring life to those puppets and its not easy to see people being so devoted to the arts especially in such a not-so-well-known form of art.&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Love, yup like many have said, it requires viewers to see it with a higher order of thinking. not everything can be seen from the surface, or one cant see the superficials of the movie only. haha at the end of it, its just a love story. =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that marks the end of 22 hrs of enrichment activities. hmm, do i feel enriched? maybe just a little.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-114382539188174708?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/114382539188174708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=114382539188174708&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114382539188174708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114382539188174708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/04/ah.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-114329426248665763</id><published>2006-03-25T21:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-25T21:44:22.500+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i manage to finish watching a set of VCDs amidst everything. yeah, korean drama once again, something my mother bought cos' the salesgirl said it was on sale and its nice. its called " Save Your Dance For Me". hee, rather touching show and its got the basic formula of a successful Korean drama. Car crash, Memory loss, Not-so-rich girl saves Rich Guy,Rich Guy likes Not-so-rich girl, Evil Rich Girl who keeps sticking to Rich Guy and stops him from meeting Not-so rich girl. Haha though this is so often used in korean drama( its always always memory loss) , i felt this time was still ok, there were much more twists and turns,at least there is some sort of happy ending. i hate those where everyone dies in the end! What's the point?  keeping constantly glued to the tv and just to see everybody die in the end?! oh yah, but car accidents are so frequent in korean dramas! this show had 3 car accidents that affected the male and female leads majorly.&lt;br /&gt;Do not cross the roads in Korea, they are extremely dangerous.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-114329426248665763?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/114329426248665763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=114329426248665763&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114329426248665763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/114329426248665763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/03/i-manage-to-finish-watching-set-of.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-114295428009538392</id><published>2006-03-21T22:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-21T23:18:00.126+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>common tests are finally over! yup in just two short days completing 4 subjs . not exactly short , cos all the mugging had made it long. plus with the 1 week of intensive but inefficient mugging march hols. argh, i am just drained out now. physically and mentally. my back hurts, my forehead  feels warm and my brain is partially dead.hmm i feel qte dead for CTs just like they always have been , yup and this time is with added stress due to me being on probation. rah...but all the mugging have made me think twice of really taking four subjs in 'A's, argh the content is just too much. or maybe its just because the S7 grp always gets the lousiest exam timetable. but i guess we should not use that as the reason for not doing well? still...=p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;post-CTs will be quite exciting.

/&gt;enrichment programme signing up today was a testimony of kiasu-ism in school. haha i admit we were part of it too. planning what activities to go for ,even the the signing up route to take, prioritizing which to queue for first, etc.   found it a rather funny experience and a little weird too, cos its like so scheming. oops, but its on a first come first basis, so in this context the fittest will survival. oh man, reminds me of evolution. lol, the "fittest" pratically leapt out of their seats and ran to the LT exit once lecture was declared ended.  so the LT was cleared like in 30secs? haha for the nxt fire drill, the school shd lie to us tht we have another enrichment prog signing up session and we'll probably gather outside in just 2mins. no more strolling for fire drill exercises... queuing took like 1 hr ( for popular activites) with people cutting queue at the front and all tht which was so incosiderate cos' they are derpriving ppl who have been queuing for 45mins of vancancies; yet they just came in for 5mins and got to sign up for the activity. nobody said anything so just 'ren'. teachers had no time to care due to the overwhelming crowd....yup, still we

valentine's day i think. hmmmmmmm.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what i have been doing for the past mth, gg sch, doing work, cca . nothing much, very routinal and boring.oh, i fell sick like 2 wks ago, and it was one of the worse. my immunity system is really bad,had a fever on and off for 1 week.i felt so lifeless tht week and on tht fri was simply blurred out. it went even worse when i knew i was on probation(so long aft promos thn i knew!!!). dur tht aftnn had first cca orientation with the j1s, went pretty well just tht most of the time i was trying very hard to be alive.ok so cca ended and exco meeting ended quite late, thn i realized i lost my econs tys. but i cldnt recall where i left it, cos i was too knocked out and the whole day went by like a mass of confusion..was worried at first cos 1 year plus worth of notes was all inside the econs tys, and cldnt find it till monday. haha, but theres fen and yoke who kept saying maybe in the classrm. kk in the end i found it yup in the classrm. heee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aft gg back home on fri, i kind of cried. not solely because of the tys but the many things tht happened on tht one single day.rah and the fever was still on. when my mum asked why am i crying, i just said i was tired.very tired.didnt want to tell her what happened cos it wld make me feel worse. bah, tht was just one of those down and super unlucky days. glad its over.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the following week was high! felt happy the entire week especially on thurs night. cos its CNY! but now its over..i am back to the bored mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

clock at 9am every single day without fail, hoping tht somehow miraculously i cld wake up early.but in the end, when the alarm goes off, i would just slam the clock down, waking up 2 hrs later. the earliest is probably 8am, but thts because i had to go school.hmm need to re-adjust my internal biological clock starting frm tmr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my past few days were spent rather pathetically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. been trying to complete my hmwk and still trying.yes sadly&lt;br /&gt;i can spend like so much time on chemistry, but still having question marks all over. when this happens, it slows down the progress of doing my other subjs. yup but when i am doing work, i am easily distracted.and once i take a break, it will take like 2hrs for me to start work agn.=p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. the gd computer broke down on the first day of 2006. &lt;br /&gt;yes.argh..it cld have broken down on any of the 60 days of the school holidays and yet it chose to spoil on 1.1.2006, when sch's starting. its actually the monitor tht is dead, but even so, i cant access all my documents in the comp. wah... i really hope its only the monitor's problem, if not...i didnt back-up my documents.btw,am using a slower comp, the mouse has some problem too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok,i havent thought of new year resolutions. uh...i didnt have time to stone to think abt it. i rmb tht one year when i was in pri sch, my dad asked us ( me and sis) to write down our new year resolutions. and aft writing and showing him he would give us a watch. baby-g was very popular back then and i think most of us wanted one( but super ex). hahaha so we had high expectations and of cos wrote down our resolutions. ...in the end he gave us each a timex watch.hmm forgot our reactions, but maybe a little disappoited.its not as pretty but a rather practical and durable watch. probably its still in the drawer somewhere, hopefully working. so what did i write? there were qte a few and if i am not wrong one of them was : read 1 book every day. HAHAHA. when i wrote tht down,i really thought i could do it. impossible. unless i own a library of 10pg-ed children's books. but anw, i rmb my dad was like " are you sure?" and i said it was easy.how gullible. hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-113622495808198524?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/113622495808198524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=113622495808198524&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/113622495808198524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/113622495808198524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2006/01/school-starts-tmr-or-rather-today.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-113593031640830433</id><published>2005-12-30T16:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-30T16:11:56.426+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Its fri!

hahaha seriously amazing. ok enough of toilet talk agn. we actually got tv coverage during our visit to zhuzhou's jingyan middle school. so for  1 week, we were interviewed and followed about while we had our activities. haha we really didnt expect this to happen until lao shi told us we were the first overseas kao2 cha2 group to come to zhuzhou. to think when jingyan visited nj, none of us knew. we were qte paiseh abt the interviews and glad tht we do not have the chance to watch television at the hostel, but the played they whole news coverage on the last day during our "party". sigh......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hostel stay was erm a unforgettable one. heheh really. the hot water only lasts for abt an hour, so the 6 of us (including laoshi) got only a few mins to bathe. and the hot water is not very consistent. on the last night, the party ended late so we missed the hot water bathing time. all of us ended using the hot water from the dispenser ( water dispenser) contained in a bucket and i used a cup as my bathing tool. and all lights out at 10pm. as my throat was feeling bad, i usually drink lotsa of water and had to go toilet at night with a torchlight.interesting. our first night was really cold,many of us didnt know how we survived,not exxagerating ar,but i was practically shivering on my bed. aft the experience tht night, all of us became smarter and wore gloves covered an extra blanket to sleep. yup and the girls from 311 are adorable!! they came to find us personally to give us presents and they dont look 13 at all. hahah yah and of cos my jingyan buddy wen wen. her family was very nice too.yupps we took neoprints tog. taking neoprints at china is really funny, u got to choose frm a bk which backgrd u like. so if u are taking 18 shots,u choose 18 backgrds. if u are taking 36 shots, gd luck to u. aft tht u still need to enter the bckgrd serial code into the the machine. in the end we spent like 1 hr at that place?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kk, many photos so i just picked a few and here's the collage of the china trip:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;right&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/purplebuds/china%20trip/collage2.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;/right&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10804277-113447319919587290?l=purplebloom.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/feeds/113447319919587290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10804277&amp;postID=113447319919587290&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/113447319919587290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10804277/posts/default/113447319919587290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://purplebloom.blogspot.com/2005/12/hey-everyonein-case-u-guys-are-not.html' title=''/><author><name>SZ</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d39/purplebuds/china%20trip/th_collage2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10804277.post-113308930878468868</id><published>2005-11-27T18:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-27T19:01:49.013+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>just finish packing the luggage....i've been doing it since wed, bit by bit. i cant close it now!

Theres some humour, alot of thriller excitement, a little horror and bits of romance+ emotion evoking scenes in the 2 1/2 hour show. I was kinda taken aback by Dumbledore being so fierce to Harry at one of the opening scenes but he became the nice good old wizard as the show progresses, so its ok. and the emotion evoking part: harry crying over Cedric's body and Cedric's father moaning for his lost son. i almost cried ! heh and its also rather sad tht the movie/story loses the most good-looking sub-character in the show.
