//Cloudy//
yup
monday i went to watch harry potter...
me and weiqi
meiting watch already mah...with dunno hu worx...=P

i was late lah..(sorry, wq)
hmm...now that i tink of it, that day was'nt so smooth-sailing, huh..
firstly, the 2.55pm show was SOLD OUT!
den wq had to do "new year shopping" (juz joking)
but couldnt find all the things she wanted.
den the S&K blouse oso dun have the size she wanted
haha...
wicked...

anyway, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the movie wasnt as interesting as the book
maybe the director isnt as gd as the Mexican director in the prisoner of Azkaban...
Or it may be bcuz i was quite uncomfortable in the Cathay seats..
wadeva it is
the only good thing was the actors and actresses
by this, i'm referring to Daniel Radcliff's show of harry's more emotional side. when he cried for cedric.
and Rupert Grint's funny acts
and Emma Watson's arrogance

of course, the movie, unlike what many critics say, did not scare the hell out of me.
we couldnt even see Ralph Fiennes...only the eyes
unlike what critics say that his eyes are cold-blooded, i din even notice much about the eyes
i was too concentrated on his bald head...haha!
i was quite disappointed by the sight of Lord Voldemort
he looked juz like what aliens are portrayed in those sci-fi shows.
i guess, common muggles like us who have watch numerous sci-fi shows will not be awed by the Dark Lord's appearance.

i hope the nxt instalment will be better.

//fine day//

// Rain, rain, go away, never come back again//-sun- 20/11

So sick of the rain.
Anyway, I went to hougang mall with my family in the evening.
Me and my sis wanted to soak up the “pasar malam” atmosphere so my parents decided that they’ll first go and “book” places at a kopitiam.

As me and my sis were approaching the night market, a teenager whose dressing was quite hip appeared out of nowhere, shocking the both of us.
She asked me to buy a donation ticket and I said I don’t have enough $.
And then she thought that I need more convincing and kept pestering me, but I kept refusing, and even said sorry to her.
She still didn’t get my idea so I walked faster.
Turned out, I guess she has longer legs than mine!
That was the last straw, I said “ I don’t have any money so do my sis!”
Finally she got off my back.

Really, this is an open society. One should not be compelled to doante.
Please, I do not meant to be rude to that person but people who really have the means and heart to donate do not need to have much convincing.
But I have the heart but not the means.
And I do not mean it as an excuse.

So, the next time you do some donation ticket sales or flag day, please do not pester people. If people say no, the chances are, they really mean it. Anymore “convincing” will only put them off. Ask politely and thank them even if they refuse. This is the way to a more acceptable society.

// STILL rainy// - sat- 19/11

Went to Pei Hwa Sec.
For wad? – you asked.
Since I’m totally unrelated to this sch. – you reasoned.

Well, for my sis’s sake.
The PSLE results are gonna to be released 24/11.
After that, she’ll have to choose six schools.

5 yrs ago, during my time, there was no such thing as getting the results first b4 choosing the schs.
Mine choice- riverside- was based solely on my own gut feeling.
And I never go for which sch’s open house- to check out.
In the end, I still made the right choice
So wad’s the big deal?

Btw, in order not to bore readers of my blog – if any, that is.
Let me share a story.
Real-life.
Non-fiction.
Ok, it’s not scary.

One of my father’s friend visited our flat last Sat. I guess it is sort-of a farewell since he is leaving for Beijing for good –I hope so.
Ok. Till now u might get the idea that I don’t have a good impression of that uncle, but that’s not true. That fact is that he is going back to his already- divorced wife in China.
He of course, still loved that woman a lot and didn’t care about the past. But his many friends, including my parents are still distrustful.

But that is not the important thing.- I’m getting out of point.

It was a hot day so my mum cut some fruits to serve our guest.
Initially, she brought a whole bowl of papayas to that uncle and thought that he would only take a piece, since my father, aunty, me and my sis haven eaten any yet.
Who knows, that uncle- uncle C- I shall call him.
Took the whole bowl of papayas and devoured it.
At that point in time, my mum was fretting. – how? The others haven eaten yet-
So she took a whole bunch of bananas and tried to offer them to uncle C.
But he refused the bananas politely and continued to devour the papayas innocently.
But my mum was not one who would give up so easily- she was determined to get back the papayas.
She then took a whole box of kuihs- which my aunt bought- and offered them again to uncle C.
Uncle C did not detect anything was amiss and even thought my mum was too generous.
In the end, he said “ no need, no need, the weather so hot, must eat more papayas, I eat papayas can liao”
So you can imagine my mum’s “horror”
Haha.

And my mum even thought nobody discovered her embarrassment.
Well- one person- my father did.
He pretended to be glued to the TV.
So when he recounted the story, there were lots of laughter.
Moral of the story: when visiting other people’s place, eat in moderation!

// Dark and Rainy //- fri- 18/11

Yesterday I went for harmo pract.
Haiyo… die liao la. I cant play anything except the first and last note.
~omg
how am I going to live thru the concert next yr.

To me, In order to play a musical instrument well, u need to have the talent and practice.
Both of which I dun have.
But I think I have the never-say-die spirit.
I shall practice MORE…
“勤能补拙” 嘛!


After that went to pass up pw stuff.
Who knows for wad?

Anyway, I went to meet weizi at yck to go for job interviews tgt.
If everything goes well, weizi should be getting a customer svc job at mycds
I landed a job as chi-eng translator. But I guess I wont be able to go for it.
Tt’s y I’m in low spirits.
Nvm. 东家不打， 打西家。
Believe, believe…

Anyway me and weizi had a gd time at Chinatown.
It has pretty exotic finds and makes people wonder how the seemingly-deserted shops can survive.
Fei zai cher siew rice was nice. Except that it has some fatty meat which instills guilt in many, yet proved to be irresistible.
Haha.

// sunny!//

Actually I thought of not going… but den, stay home also got nothing much to do, so I went lor… to pass time you see.

Haiz. My plan of finding a holiday job practically went to naught.

“ 17 huh? Eh… too young lah…”
“ Ok, thanks”

“Must work everyday wor… can you make it?”
“Er- no… one week got once or twice must go back to school” (for harmo ~argh!)

“Can you call back later… after 5pm?”
(after 5pm) “Can you call back tomorrow?”

~diaos…

What this?

Nothing is going in the right direction.

Which reminds me of the bowling session I had today.
Should gimme a prize for my courage, at least…~argh!
I’m lousy!!!

I must practise during this holiday!!!
Cannot throw face!!!
Yea! Jia you!
Role model:
Remy Ong ~omg, got so many things to do during holidays…







Come on, get a LIFE!

// Rain? No Rain? // - 14/11

ok, I thought it was going to rain…

It did. But it din even last 1/2 hour.

Went to the supposedly- class outing.

Ok… The Exorcism of Emily Rose was fantastic!!!

It is has an interesting plot, meaningful ending and the BEST part was the HORROR!!!

Supposedly to be a PG. But I think not many people can take it. Not as brave as me, mah.
Haha… made me think of someone who cuddled up, tried to cover her eyes and shut her ears. Pity man, missed the story. And she was surrounded by people lah. There was an empty seat beside me and I din even think of who “was sitting” there. (~ hee, juz kiddin’) Plus, in front of me got an empty seat also. Just nice, can enjoy w/o anybody blocking.

Let me “unveil” the story.

The movie started as a flashback…meaning Emily had already died. (as a result of a failed exorcism)

It mainly focuses on a court case between a counsel defending a priest alleged to have cause her death and a prosecutor on behalf of the people.

The HORROR part comes in when the description of Emily’s story was told by various witnesses.

And of course there was a disagreement because the parish community did not approve of the alleged priest testifying in court.

The movie is influential in the way that it made you believe that the cause of her death was because of demons. And not some illness.
Though at first I was paranoid about the priest’s story, the movie went on to make you believe it.

In the end, although a crucial evidence to win the case was lost, the counsel did her best in her closing statement.


It is a possibility that Emily was possessed by demons.
It is a possibility that some supernatural being touched Emily.
However, it is a fact that Father Moore loved Emily and tried his best to help her.
The prosecutor has presented facts that Emily had epilepsy, psychosis.
But…
Facts are mere facts. They do not allow for possibilities.

And of course it would be stupid if the case were to go a roundabout… that the jury would change 360- degree… just because of the counsel’s speech… w/o care for the hard facts presented in front of them.

Thus, the ending that the alleged priest was declared guilty but his sentence was the trial period is a win-win situation.

The audience are more than just a panel of jury…


After the movie, went to this Killiney Road restaurant…bakery…wadeva you call it, to eat. Food was cheap and nice… Yea! Got a free meal. ( like real!) The only drawback was double dinner.

// Sunny – the way my cactus love it! //

My cactus must have loved today.
What a fine day!
Oops… that not enough, it’s a clear day, except for marshmallow- like clouds, which dotted the azure horizons and sunlight filtered through the translucent curtains…
Ok, u can stop.
Yes. I just came back from the “Communication Skills” workshop.
The trainer is one who had been through many phrases of life… from dropping out of jc to becoming the best insurance seller at a firm… from leaving the firm at the peak of his career to unemployment for a year plus… From that to earning 3X his initial salary…

Wow. And here am I…complaining about my life…

For the psycho- geometric part, I chose a triangle.
But it’s definitely untrue that I’m a leader. And a vicious one at that. Who will even go thru under-handed means to achieve what he wants.
That’s so unlike me… which is a pity cuz I’m pretty interested in psychology…
I think I’m more like a rectangle.
One who doesn’t noe the direction of my own life. Dunnoe where I should go or come from.

Lost. That is. - 11/11/05

//Whether it will rain, whether will it not //

yEA!
Yet another fine day.
Today, me and my mum got nothing to do, so we went to kovan.
Wah, kovan… long time time never go liao..
Suddenly got this heartland mall… for nice, cool shopping!

We went to this fantastic fishball noodle stall at the hawker center.
“ Rui Fa Shu Shi” serves this scrumptious mee-pok with bite-sized fishballs and meatballs and crunchy lettuce… to top it up, there’s this sour-spicy soup with bean sprouts floating up (never mind that the bean sprouts haven have their roots plucked off)
the queue was esp long! (although another fishball noodle stall was just next-door, which my mum claimed, serves delicious noodles as well)
And I remembered that uncle who sold that mee-pok.. already 9 yrs since I last came here.. although most of the stall tenants had gone, this jovial, gregarious uncle who sang and danced while cooking was still here .. and his antics still amuses his customers…

And we washed it down with fresh sugarcane juice.
Maybe I haven had hawker fare for a looong time…I’m still longing for it!
Unlike food court stuff which is bland and msg-ed, hawker fare is the real, good food in Singapore! (while on a low budget, that is)

Ok, while we are still on the topic on food.
I realised that food can also be inspiring.
Like when I watched “Yummy, Yummy” that night.

For every matter, one can always look at it from another angle, another perspective.
As long as you look at the bright side of life, you’ll definitely feel happier.

There’s this super-optimistic character, Chickadee, who is a happy-go-lucky.
Of course in life, we can never be happy always and there maybe no such person as Chickadee, but we can definitely strive to be like him.

So. I decided to be more tolerant and considerate towards people.
Life is Short.
We should try to be happy every minute.
(dunno how long this inspiring mood can last = P )

Today was sure an inspiring day. – 10/11/05

The Mummy

你說要我　死了這顆心　最好永遠　存放在埃及像木乃伊　保持著神秘　敲也敲不破　連時間都忘記你一直嘮叨著所謂真理　剖開了心就看到我不是她的記憶要我節哀　雖然她不該　如果看不開　我怎麼活過來愛＊木乃伊的心在燒　金字塔裡悶到老　也許我自己太在意　被拋棄無法忍受　黑暗的沉默孤寂　木乃伊的心在跳　抱著希望慢慢熬　我鼓起最後的一分力　撐下去相信真愛　就在我醒來的新世紀

Yea. Lin JJ. Singapore music hits awards. 4 awards!

Tell me, is Japan part of Asia?
Sorry, i'm asking an idiotic qn.
Really.
i took a glance at my dusty copy of Newsweek, dunno which issue.
And the words " Why Japan has no friends in Asia" caught my eye.
Precisely.
In this world, who cares if u have any friends?
Each country is for its own survival.
Nvm the different ideals they hold.
the "economic ties" are much more impt.
So glad.
So country arent doing stupid things to jeopardise their own economy becuz of so-called "ideals"

Another thing.. dunno why pple cannot take a bit of tongue-in-cheek with a pinch of salt

Firstly, wish all Hindus a HAPPY DEEPAVALI!

Sunny! What nice weather!

i almost forgot today is a weekday.. cuz all my family members are at home and my aunt will be arriving soon.
wads the occasion? yes..my bdae.. decided to celebrate today when no one is going to work or sch.
actually, for me it is juz a normal day wif no special significance.. every yr.. my mum cooks sth special and buys a cake..my sis and aunt give me some presents.. yar. since most of my relatives are in m'sia.

talking about presents..every yr.. i always manage to find out wat present my sis will b giving me, in advance and this yr.. its a PET TREE! yea!

ok, sum yrs ago i may have been excited abt my bdae and could not even sleep the nite b4. but in recent yrs, this day holds no special meaning and it juz represents how many yrs i have spent on Earth. yea. i've become more bitter and pessimistic.about life. about people. about everything.

what i have learnt fr people thus far.
Most always think that they are worse off than others.
Most never think b4 they say sth.
Most like to boast alot, with the cleverer ones concealing their intentions.
Most are attention-seeking species.
Most think of themselves b4 others.
Most never keep their promises.
Most only do what is beneficial to them.
Most blindly follow trends.
Most splurge $ on things they claim they need but in fact, they can definitely do without.

the list goes on and on....
i myself do not deny that i may be like one of the above.
anyway, i used "most" becuz i do not generalise. think of GP :)

Recently there is a newspaper article about Singaporeans Lotitas..
meaning girls sell themselves to get $
omg.
wad is the world coming to?
this is happening in a financially-developed country.
blame it on materialism.
i place shame on girls who, after the incorrigible act, went on to report to the police.
excuse me, even if u are underage, u sld not abuse that priviledge.
i tink i do not have any need to elaborate.
