Been a very long time since I last updated on my blog.

Had been through a very rough patch one of the days at work a few weeks back. Shed my 2nd tear since I joined this org ard 10 mths ago becoz of smth tt happened at work...Until very recently, I started to feel some friction coming from some members within my own team. Is that a bad sign? All along, I had felt my very own team was united and harmonious. Perhaps, I'm the youngest and most junior among the team, tt's why I felt very loved by them. In fact, all along, I had felt they are very helpful, friendly and caring towards one another. Yet, recently, I could begin to feel some tension between some members, and I'm kinda caught in between. Felt like a sandwich. I hope this is just temporary. Seriously dun wish to be entangled in office politics so soon. And hopefully I can still remain neutral for as long as I want!

昨天早上,我哭了!因爲我的最後一個學期的成績放榜了,順利地為我的大學生涯划上了句點。不過那是歡喜的淚水,外加些許的終于放下了心中一塊大石的感覺的淚水!這整個學期所累積下來的壓力與不安,昨早一次性爆發出來了。我媽在知曉我的成績后,也非常高興。我媽昨早告訴我說,她在一個禮拜前,夢見佛祖告訴她不用擔心我的成績,因爲我會順利畢業,不過是剛及格的那種。超准哦!哈哈哈!

不過能過關,我倒是非常的意外。一直以來都覺得會不及格。雖然及格,也有些許的失落。因爲我真的非常努力的復習,不過成績並沒反映我的努力。也許是個人的種種因數的關係,影響了我的表現吧!算了,能及格就好了!別想太多了!

在投入社會工作之前,就先去一趟畢業旅行,鬆懈心情,充電充電好了。

就將了!

Surprisingly, today i never suffer from a super bad muscle ache from the cycling yesterday, which i thought i'll be getting.

Engrossed with 僵屍道長. Nice story! A pity i nv watch it on TV when I was younger becoz i'm scared of ghost, so never watch any horror. Now I stream online, the video quality not so good also. Strangely as i grew older, I became more and more interested in horror.

The "Day" is getting nearer. Getting more nervous and worried by the moment.

Other than that, am also bothered by one personal matter that's bugging me. Seriously, really ought to give it some serious thought.

Haizzzzz

Super random post on whatever randomness that's on my mind now...full of disoriented thoughts right now...

Yesterday celebrated Jorene's birthday with Sharon at ECP. First half of the celebration was spent cycling from ECP to Changi and back to the bicycle rental shop. Cycled for 3 hrs. Tiring! Muscles aching after that and legs felt like jelly! Then we dinnered at one of the HK Cafe there and chit-chatted over dinner. Left quite late and only got home around 11pm. But the most important was the time spent with friends was enjoyable and memorable!

Missed the last epi of "The In-Laws" because of the celebration. But I'm super glad there is xinmsn catchup TV for me to catchup all the Mediacorp shows that I missed, so I can go out with friends w/o worrying that I'll miss out any shows that I follow. Great happy ending for The In-Laws! Bad DIL turned good in the end! Jianye accepted Kaiwen! Dabao and Fenfen got together! Deming and Granny came back! Really great reunion! Very heartwarming! Really got a little feel like those HK heartwarming family dramas (e.g. Moonlight Resonance), where in the end everything turns out well! Been some time since I really follow Mediacorp's drama from 1st epi till the end. The new cop drama C.L.I.F. looks good as well! Hope it lives up to my expectation!

Ytd went for a post MC-proj celebration with my group members, tho not everyone turned up for it eventually. Watched Insidious with Sharon & Gillian. Quite a good horror movie. It is able to build suspense with some unexpected scare scenes here and there that scared everyone into laughing it off instead. XD No bloody scenes involved.

A diff kind of horror movie from all its predecessor. The theme is cool: Astral projection. More commonly known as out-of-body experience, something that most often happens in sleep or for most, near-death experience, the movie links this theme with a little boy who has this ability, whose soul wanders too far off in the parallel spiritual world during sleep, and gets trapped in it, unable to return to the physical body. This attracts the Demon and other supernatural beings who are always on the search for lifeforms that they can possess. The story unfolds with hauntings in the boy's home, who was in a comatosed state due to his ability. The Demon gets closer to possessing the boy's physical body as time progresses. The real reason behind the hauntings were eventually revealed. The boy's father who has the same ability tries to rescue the boy's soul and put a stop to all the hauntings.

Really enjoyed the movie!

終于在星期一在網上追看完了同伊!追看的過程中一直被故事的緊湊情節帶動著,心裏一直想著接下來會發生什麽事情。《同伊》 真的好看!

同伊在劇裏說過 “沒有所謂的命運,一切都是自己的選擇。既然做了選擇,就要付出其選擇的代價”。覺得這説法挺有道理的。

張玉貞曾經被一名高人指點,說她的命理中會有個與她有著幾乎相同命運的孩子。兩位都閃發著光,終有一天都非常有成就,但是冥冥中注定一個是光,一個是影子。
一個早期比較坎坷,會先失去一切,晚期卻會得到一切。一個早期比較幸運,會先擁有一切,晚期卻會失去一切。倘若有一天她遇到這個孩子,千萬切忌與她斗,因爲冥冥中注定她是那個影子,晚期將會失去一切。早期,張玉貞不相信這命運,相信著命運是自己主宰的。但是漸漸的,她因種種原因而陷入了無法擺脫的所謂的命運之中。

不知道自己命運的同伊,努力的以自己的方式,原則過著多姿多彩,尋求真理,處處爲人著想的生活。過程中,被人所害,幾乎失去性命,但還是堅持自己所信,守護了自己想守護的東西。

在我看來,我還蠻贊成同伊的説法。因爲,就算命運注定是如此,其實當局者確實是有的選擇。命運與造化是相扣的,彼此主宰著對方。追根究底,造化就是個人的選擇。 個人造化牽引著自己的命運。相同的,命運也牽引著自己的造化。

以上言論純粹是本人的看法。也許以後生活的歷煉會再改變我的看法?

抱歉!好久沒更新部落格了! 這裡都長滿了蜘蛛網了!這整個學期都太忙碌了,對我而言也是一個無比壓力的學期!為這,我也好幾次被壓力壓得喘不過氣來而崩潰了!真是個失敗者!不過這也是一種釋放壓力的辦法,起碼不會内傷。 畢竟我還年輕,失敗者與否,還真是太早下定論了。 最大的敵人,始終是自己!要記得戰勝自己就是戰勝未來!

考完試也有一個星期了!這一個星期内,完成了三件事。

第一, 與友人去吃火鍋了。

第二,與友人唱KTV去了,而且是那些比較少人知道的KTV。之後還去了喝飲料與聊天,真是無比的寫意!

第三,與父親和堂妹去了三天兩夜的郵輪之旅。雖然在郵輪上沒做什麽,是挺無聊的,不過我非常享受與堂妹聊天的時刻!與堂妹在郵輪上的電影院觀看了Burlesque! 不錯的電影!Christina Aguilera 的唱功真的好棒!Cher 也是!不過這場電影還是我生平第一次看得最令我最生氣的一次!因爲郵輪上的某囯乘客一直進出電影院,又沒把簾子拉上,以致外面的光一直照進戲院裏。外加坐在我前座的那家人的媽媽和小孩一直時不時就站起來擋住我的視線,真是令人光火!怎麽郵輪上有這麽多不自動的乘客?! 郵輪上的最後一晚,去看了魔術表演。那些不自動的人又再一次出擊了!好多人都遵守規矩排隊入場, 但是,某國的乘客就直接插隊! 進場后,當大家都坐下來了,他們又一直走進走出! 真是令人受不了!

昨天,郵輪之旅結束了,但是我卻生病了。其實出發前一天,我就有點感冒了。上了郵輪后,病情加重了。昨天回家后,就去看醫生了。今天好多了。原本約了友人去游泳,然後一起去KTV的,但是還是決定不去了。先病好在說吧!所以,今天就呆在家裏,追看我的電視劇吧!

在過幾個星期,成績就要揭曉了。好擔心!在這之前,就好好將其隔著,什麽都不去想的,好好的過著我想要的生活!

順帶一提,我哥最近戀愛了!替他開心!因爲看到他的心情開朗多了。還有以後不用聽到他那些專牛角尖的抱怨了!希望他會成功!

好了!就更新到這了!下回見!


My apologies! My blog has been stagnant for ages and is gathering cobwebs! Have had a busy semester and a stressed one indeed, till the point that I have had occasional emotion breakdown! Felt like a loser! However, I figured out that rather than cooping up all my emotions, engaging in emotional release is also a good way to relieve my stress. W.r.t whether I'm a loser, that's a little early to tell since I'm still young. I still have many years ahead of me to prove my self-worth for one's greatest enemy is still oneself! I must keep reminding myself that my future lies in my own hands.

My exams had since ended for a week. During this week, I have completed three things. They are:

1) Went for a steamboat with my uni friends.

2) Went for a KTV session with a couple of my uni friends to those less well-known KTV lounge. After that, went for a drink and chit-chatted! It was an enjoyable carefree session!

3) Went on a 3D/2N cruise trip with my dad and younger cousin. Though my cousin and I practically did nothing on board, I truly enjoyed the small talks we had. We watched Burlesque on board. An absolutely nice movie! Really enjoyed and admired Christina Aguilera's and Cher's great and powerful vocal! However, my overall movie experience was partially ruined by the other cruise passengers of a certain nationality. They were absolutely inconsiderate throughout the entire movie. Kept entering and exiting the theatre! And what was most annoying was each time they entered and exited, they had failed to draw up the curtain, resulting in the daylight shining into the theatre. In addition, there was this mother and daughter pair seated in the row just in front of me, who kept standing up throughout the movie, blocking my view! Absolutely pissed! Can't help thinking why there are so many inconsiderate passengers on board! The last night on board, we went for a magic show. Once again, the total experience was spoiled by those inconsiderate passengers of the same certain nationality! Firstly, while everyone else queued to enter the theatre, they just jumped the queue to enter! Secondly, they kept walking in and out from their seats! Absolutely inconsiderate and pissed me off!

The cruise trip ended yesterday with me falling sick. Actually, I was already having flu-like symptoms a day before the trip, but it got worse while I was on board. Yesterday. the first thing I did after I got home from the cruise trip was to see the doctor. Feels much better today. Today, I had initially planned to go swimming with my uni friends at Jurong East swimming complex, following which, a KTV session at the same KTV lounge, but I had decided not to attend because of my flu. So, for today, I would just confine myself in my room, to catch up on all the dramas I want to watch.

My semester's results will be announced in a few weeks' time. Absolutely worried! For now, I think I'll just leave it aside and enjoy my days doing things I like before the "doom's day".

To digress a bit, my bro had recently found himself a girlfriend! So happy for him! Can see his mood improving alot! Of course the one thing I'm most glad about is that my parents and I no longer have to bear his incessant complaints about life's unfairness to him! Lol. Hope his r/s will work out!

Alritez,  that's all for now! See ya!

Belated Bdae Celebration for Yu Mei

Last Thursday, we had a belated bdae celebration for Yu Mei.

Had a near 4 hr session at Playnation. Played Mario. It has been such a long time since I last played Mario, which was N years ago. The Mario game was a team game. Hell lotsa fun! We had to battle every stage in a team of 4 players. So together as a team, we are supposed to collaborate to kill the turtles and pass through other obstacles in that stage to clear it. We kept getting stuck at 1 or 2 particular stage(s). We all screamed and laughed like mad. And we are the only group of customers there playing in a room. Bet the other customers playing outside must be thinking the people in this room must be crazy. Kept screaming like nobody's business.

After the Playnation session, we walked to Bugis for a steamboat dinner. Jasmine joined us for the dinner cause she had something cropped up at home and couldn't join us at Playnation. We decided to steamboat at Xian De Lai.It was a rather healthy steamboat session because we ordered more veggies than meat. The spicy soup base wasn't too bad. In fact, it was quite nice and wasn't so spicy especially if you throw in all the fish, meat, meatballs, scallop to cook in the soup. They absorbed and reduced the spiciness of the soup. Bagus! We had quite a long steamboat session. Think we ate for around 2 hrs. And they served complimentary dessert, but it was quite sweet.

After we settled our bill, we went to Swirl Art to check out their yogurt. However, I was too full from the steamboat to eat the yogurt. When we entered the shop, their staff were dishing out samples of some of their yogurt flavors. So we took 3 small cups of samples - original, strawberry and taro. All 3 flavors are nice, but taro is the best! Think I may go back there for yogurt in future, though not always as it is slightly over-pricey for me, at least for now.

So overall, I think we all enjoyed ourselves to the max! Really agree with Yu Mei and which is consistent with what I always think, spending time with close friends are the most wonderful time with life!  友谊万岁!

Had quite a gd start to a new year! The 2nd wk of Jan, the 1st thing I did was to go to Costa Sands Resort Sentosa with my uni clique! Had a fun 3D/2N there...Jokes and laughters! And of coz not forgetting our monopoly deal!

The Saturday of the same week, went for a session of Paintball at Red Dynasty Yishun, which was organised by Sharon. So made some new friends there. Quite a fun session!

So to conclude my 2nd week of Jan, it was just a week of fun, jokes and laughte
r!

3rd week of Jan, started my classes...It's been such a long time since I boarded the bus at the sch bus stop at the 6.30pm timing. And gosh! Really hated waiting for bus at that bus stop at that timing, especially more so on a rainy day! Super packed! Waited with HQ for bus 52 at the bus stop. The crowd at the bus stop took approx. 1 h 30 mins to clear! Absolutely horrible! The bus frequency for other buses are quite high, yet the bus stop still feels up quickly within minutes!

Alritez, enough of ranting on the sch stuff! Though it is now already the middle of the 3rd week, I would still like to write my resolution for 2011 here, that is to do well for my current sem! And I wish that my family, relatives and friends will all be blessed with good health, wealth and luck always!

Last but not least, congrats to Derwin for securing a job for yourself so soon after your convocation and upon returning to Singapore! I should be joining the workforce soon in a few months time if everything goes well for me! Hopefully, I'm like you and Dora, able to get myself a job fast enough upon convocation! And also a decent paying job of coz!
