WOW Withdrawal Symptoms

2008-11-20T21:13:00.000+08:00

WOW was really, really, an amazing trip. I feel like I loved every single experience, especially with the kids and the class, so much so that I'm now having so much trouble readjusting back to normal life again. AHH. It's so much mixed emotions, I dunno' whether to feel happy or sad. So I shall feel =\. Actually I should try to feel more =). Maybe half =) half =\. Yeps.

WOWIE, IT WAS A GREAT TRIP.

Me And My Balloon

2008-10-26T22:15:00.003+08:00

Since young I loved balloons, and I had to have balloons everytime for my birthday. I thought this would be the first year that the tradition would be broken, but I knew I could count on my aunts who knew me so well! =)

And it's this prettypretty bubble balloon! Never knew that these kinds existed, but whee~!

Birthday Surprise!

2008-10-23T21:50:00.005+08:00

In what I think is the chronological order of today:

Thanks to Cherilyn for the slip of the tongue in the morning at the lockers!

Thanks to Pony and Bao for folding the heart shapes for my birthday card right in front of me in the morning, and Cherilyn for teaching them, and perhaps me for being dumb so that I was surprised later. XD

Thanks to Ms. Yap for "Switching off the lights so that we can save electricity!" (Haha, I didn't realise until I read your blog, Bao!)

Thanks to whoever it was that gave me this big bear hug from behind as the surprise cake was brought in!

Thanks to the class for singing me a birthday song and all the birthday wishes!

Thanks to the people who bought the cake and planned the whole surprise! Pony, Hammie, Pam, Bao, Cheryl, and Celestyn!

Thanks to Grace for the yummie heart-shaped brownie you baked!

Thanks to Pony and Hammie for the beanie; so sweet and thoughtful...! I will wear it for WOW! (And I forgive you Hammie for saying that I looked like a cancer patient! 这样是不对的哦! Haha, tsk!)

Thanks to Hammie for the kawaii tofu calendar! It is on my table giving me a cute smile while it tells me the date everyday. =D

Thanks to Edward for the colourful marshmallows!

Thanks to the class for the birthday wishes on the card! =) Really so sweet, you guys...! x)

Thanks to Pony for the sweet, sweet card! I am honoured, and really appreciate it! =)

Final thanks to my tablemates! Am really glad that you guys are in my life! =) And 5.12 too; am really so blessed to be in this wonderful class; to be your chairman, is my fortune!

Ahhh, thanksthanksthanks for the birthday surprise, I totally didn't expect it! ^^

The Post-Exam Tradition

2008-10-07T18:51:00.002+08:00

Of ripping up that exam schedule! =D

Nothing wrong, right? It's useless now, over already, time to look forward and charge full steam ahead! (But of course, remember to throw the remnants into a recycle bin to be green, yay!)

Fly-dhartha

2008-10-05T19:03:00.002+08:00

I was on a bench at school, just about to start studying, when I noticed this fly perched on the railing right in front of me... Weird.

But through the whole time I was there, the fly just stayed there, at the very same spot, for the whole 3 or 4 hours that I was there! I could see that it changed directions and faced different sides, and moving its legs and flapping its wings, so it certainly wasn't dead.

So I admired its ability to be so disciplined and stay there at that one spot. Which is so unlike me; I'm so fidgety, and would always need to walk around my house, check out my fridge, lie on my bed for five minutes and end up sleeping for five hours instead...

Yeah, so fly-dhartha enlightened me that day, and I controlled my urges to stop studying and walk around whenever I see that fly sitting there on that railing and not moving. Not moving. (Don't laugh at me!)

Math Paper 1

2008-10-03T19:00:00.001+08:00

Today was not good... =(

What's Carnobara?

2008-10-01T19:27:00.001+08:00

My mum had never eaten carbonara pasta before, can you believe it? I think she honestly thinks that the only pasta in the world is spaghetti in tomato-based sauce! When in fact there's so many different kinds of pasta and so many different kinds of sauces. Well, finally today I introduced it to her, and she said it was yummy, so yay! ^^

Smiley In The Curry

2008-09-27T19:23:00.001+08:00

It was after another one of those papers, and so I binged on prata to make myself happy! =) And then Hammie spotted this!

Which obviously made me even happier than happy! =) =) Honest, we didn't deliberately arrange the smiley in the curry; it was just... There!

Now this one over here was after we arranged the smiley to make it more centralized. And we used this other spice piece to make the nose! Haha, I think I like the first one better, though, because it's more... Undeliberate. (And if you're wondering what the spices are, I only know that the leaf is a curry leaf, haha! xD The rest are... Some other Indian spices lah.)

Together with my snack basket, they will delight me and pull me through the darkest homework and mugging days! ^^

National Day Rainbow

2008-08-09T21:57:00.000+08:00

I know it's tough to see but it's there, it's there! Look harder!

It was the biggest rainbow I've seen in my life; as in, I could almost see 3/4 of the whole rainbow-semicircle! =D

Project SMILE!

2008-07-26T16:28:00.004+08:00

I guess everyone, including me, has just been so bogged down with work; we're stressed, tired, and unhappy... So I just thought that we all just needed to SMILE more. =)

To Prevent Me From Sleeping

2008-07-24T21:47:00.001+08:00

Too much work... Tired... Comfy bed... Must resist... Do work...!

Pretty Sky!

2008-07-22T17:45:00.000+08:00

I walked home and I saw this pretty sky! A nice red "sky line" separating night from day...

And then later this cloud that I thought looked heart-shaped! OK lah, now looking back not so, but quite right...! =D

ColourGenics

2008-07-21T19:03:00.004+08:00

It's quite cool how this is pretty true, just by clicking on some colours! (I love colours! =D)

From: http://www.goldinuniverse.com/

You are in a state of constant expectation and want interesting and exciting things to happen to you. But in fact, you are a 'Walter Mitty' at times - a dreamer - over-imaginative and often given to fantasy or day-dreaming. There is nothing wrong in 'dreaming' - how boring life would be if one just followed the doctrines of everyday life - but one must not continue leading a life of continuous fantasy. You need to face reality in spite of all its possible shortcomings.

You are very orderly, methodical and self sufficient. You demand and need the respect, recognition and understanding of all those who enter into your sphere on influence.

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You don't like conflict and you endeavour to avoid criticism. You want to do your own thing and to be able to decide what is right for you. You have considerable personable charm - and this is used with considerable effect on those that keep your company.

The Story of Domokun!

2008-07-19T20:32:00.007+08:00

P.S. It's an abstract piece -- Domokun is leashed to Hammie's pencil case, and tries to run away but can't. =(

P.P.S. Yeah, I dunno' why but I just felt like blogging again! Isn't it cool, my blog once started out as a boring-narrative-type-thing, then I took a hiatus and came back with a new little-things-in-my-life approach, and then I took another hiatus and am now back again. I think my direction now will be PHOTOS ^^

Ever since I got my niceshinynew camera from my aunts, I've been bringing it everywhere, and snapping shots of all sorts of coolquirkyinterestingyummyprettyfun stuff =D It's just such a... Fun way of recording things in my life. And I guess I just feel like... It's such a pity that almost no one sees these pictures! So here they are!

And the plus point is also that I don't take pictures _that_ often (I think.), and I don't have to write much, because the pictures can do the talking and I can just, as most, caption them! So I won't spend so much time blogging and I can instead spend more time doing my work like I'm supposed to. >.>

Especially since I'm this longwinded, as you can see.

Yay! =)

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-25T00:29:00.001+08:00

Look how excited Gou Gou is over Christmas, he's even dressed up as a reindeer! Haha, and he's been itching to wish everyone a Merry Christmas too; here he is!

HAPPY JOLLY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pizza!

2007-12-24T23:37:00.000+08:00

For the first time in all my 16 years of living with my parents in Queenstown...

We ordered pizza!

My parents have _never_ ordered pizza from Pizza Hut or Canadian Pizza or the like; I guess my parents just never took the idea. Especially since my dad encourages healthy eating; so soda and fast food in our diets are a no-no. =(

But I guess something came over my parents today, hur!

Pizza never tasted this yummy x)

For A Moment

2007-11-22T21:37:00.000+08:00

Mum: Guess what your brother got for his PSLE?
Me: What...?
Mum: 272!
Me: Huh! (I got 255 for my PSLE.)
Edwin: No lah, 227...
*Mum giggles.*
Me: Heh, phew! For a moment I actually thought that Edwin was smarter than me!

=P

豆浆油条

2007-11-19T23:46:00.000+08:00

真的, 豆浆油条要一起吃下去, 味道才会是最好!

豆浆油条 - 林俊杰

喝纯白的豆浆是纯白的浪漫
望着你可爱脸庞和你纯真的模样
我傻傻对你笑是你忧愁解药
你说我就像油条很简单却很美好

我知道你和我就像是豆浆油条
要一起吃下去味道才会是最好
你需要我的傻笑我需要你的拥抱
爱情就需要这样它才不会单调
我知道有时候也需要吵吵闹闹
但始终也知道只有你对我最好
豆浆离不开油条让我爱你爱到老
爱情就需要这样它才幸福美好

我知道都知道你知道你都知道
好不好别偷笑让我知道
好不好别偷笑让我知道就好

我喝完热豆浆眷恋着还想要
你吃完金黄油条爱情又要再发酵

Spehling Tasts

2007-11-02T19:18:00.000+08:00

Was helping my mum to pack up the cupboards, when I chanced upon my Secondary 1 spelling tests... Am sure this will get some people laughing...

Jumping to my own defence; at that time I really hadn't heard of that word mah... Erm, and, well, my spelling has never been that good, even up til now, anyway... >.>

Kevvy Patty Burgers!

2007-11-01T13:57:00.000+08:00

Today I made my own burger! Aside from growing the lettuce, baking the bread, and growing the wheat to make the bread because I didn't bake it anyway in the first place, everything was DIY!

Of course the main thing was the patty, and for that I added onions and cheese to minced beef, then shaped them into patties and pan fried them. For a cheese and onion loving guy like me; it's just the thing for me!

Slot it between the burger buns, top up with lettuce, mayonnaise and black pepper sauce, and you've got your Kevvy Patty Burger! =D

Better Than Not Signalling At All

2007-10-28T22:59:00.000+08:00

My aunt just got her driving license recently, and for the first time she tried her hand at driving for real with my dad's car... With all of us in tow!

All of joked that we had better put our seat belts on, but we had faith in her lah!

It was just that during this car ride, I became more acutely conscious of all the things you've got to do while driving, and to me it seems real tough, especially signalling!

I think I'm gonna' have a problem if I drive in the future 'cos I'm gonna' be mixing up left and right; what if I want to turn left but signal right!

But I guess that's better than drivers who don't signal at all ba?

Bored Creation

Gou Gou's Trip Around Perth!

2007-10-15T22:53:00.000+08:00

For most part of the trip, Gou Gou travelled around Perth snugly in my bag! (Sure hope it wasn't too squishy for him...)

Gou Gou loved the spaghetti and salad we had for lunch on our way to Perth!

Ooh, coffee and chocolate! =D

The chum with his cheeks plastered to the windows on the bus bringing us from the airport to our hotel. First sights of Perth!

With our luggage while waiting for check-in at the hotel; was a pretty long wait...

So meanwhile Gou Gou took first sniffs of Perth grass!

Dinner was at KFC; had this Hot Rods meal which tasted pretty good!

Gou Gou found a companion in Stripes; here they are on the hotel bed.

Aww, the rascal's tired out even from the first day in Perth? Ain't he cute!

Next morning we were waiting for the bus that'd take us out on a day tour, but it took real long! So meanwhile Gou Gou took the chance to sniff around some Perth fauna.

One of the places we went to on the day tour was the Pinnacles; how can one go to Perth without visiting this natural wonder! But the rascal kept wanting to climb on top of the rock formations; had to keep him in check!

These wild flowers are called Everlastings; what a beautiful name for a beautiful flower, don't you think?

More wildflowers; Gou Gou just loved being amongst the grass and flowers.

Sand boarding! 'twas part of the day tour; Gou Gou had tons of fun 'riding' the sand dunes! Whee!

Dinner that day was a sumptuous-licious Super Hot Dog!

Cheeky Gou Gou sniffing my camera!

Looks as though he wants to be served on a plate and eaten...!

Gou Gou posing with Strawberry Kit Kat; yumyum!

Yummy beef teriyaki cup noodles for supper...

Look what Gou Gou found his way into!

Aww, and now he finds his way into a basket and spends the night there...

How could anyone miss out on Fremantle's fish and chips!

We visited King's Park; here's the puppy on one of them benches.

Look at the chum; all fascinated by the sundial!

He's always had a fear of heights, but this brave one summoned some puppy power to take this shot of Perth city!

Hitching a ride in Kevin's jacket pocket? Such a lazybones!

The grass in King's Park seems exceptionally green...!

Watching closely as the sun goes down on Perth...

CHAMPIONS! Here's the little chum borrowing my glittering gold medal for a shot.

Snuggling up to a hot cappuccino...

Yummie! Butterscotch caramel cake with fresh cream...

A flower in his hair? Trying to act cute, huh!

Plugged in on music on the plane trip home... He loves the same music as me!

This ice cream was fantastic; raspberries and cream! The rascal made me ask for seconds, so 不好意思!

Peering out the window; not everyday that you get a nice window seat, you know!

This puppy loves apples; was all excited when he found the cabin crew serving them up!

Back home, watch this puppy edit his own photos; such a narcissist!

Aww, home sweet home!

2007-09-17T22:22:00.000+08:00

During PC in class today, we talked about occupations, and that reminded me of an incident involving silly lil' me in kindergarten...

It was kindergarten, and I was a wee cute tot. xD It was also class, and we were also talking about occupations; what are parents were, and what we wanted to be.

Then came the homework. Which was to write about our parents' occupations; providing a drawing and a short description...

My mum was easy; a housewife! But then came my dad's occupation and I was stumped. "What does he work as...?"

Then just imagine the horror on my dad's face when I drew a picture of him in an apron and described of how he chopped meat up as a butcher in the neighbourhood market.

Skittles & Philosophy

2007-09-13T23:49:00.000+08:00

Skittles helped my mind think cheem for my philosophy essay today!

Purple Flurp

2007-09-11T22:14:00.000+08:00

My father boiled dessert today; Purple Sweet Potato Soup! Yes, it's made with purple sweet potatoes...

Not that I don't like the colour purple; it's great! But for sweet potato soup? It messes with my mind! Cos' looking at the soup I'd just expect something grape-y... And when the spoon feeds me I find that the taste doesn't correspond and I feel funny.

Now I just hope I don't turn purple overnight!

Go Fly Kite Lah!

2007-09-09T18:35:00.000+08:00

I think it must've been 10 years since I last flew a kite, and yesterday I finally got a chance to!

Was at the beach yesterday, when we found this old uncle selling these beautifully hand painted handmade kites for $4 each. And the kites are really small and cute! (They're probably only as big as two palms?) When I first saw them I really doubted that they could fly...

Of course, I was wrong! And they were so easy to set off into the sky, too. But of course, the best satisfaction's when you see your kite flying high up in the sky...

I'd just like to thank that old uncle, if he ever sees this, for letting me have a little childish fun. x)

For Once...!

2007-09-08T23:29:00.000+08:00

For once...

Auntie: 你今年念 JC 1 是吗?

*My eyes glow with glee!*
*Me thinks: Yes, yess.... YESSS...! Wait, actually no lah, hehe*

(Very Sweetly) Me: 哦，没有啦... *giggles* 中四而已啦...

幸福...

2007-09-07T15:45:00.000+08:00

幸福像小猫──你哄它叫它，它却躲着你；你专心做自己的事而不管它，它就会过来蹭你的腿，跳到你的膝盖上。

幸福来源于深刻的体会，简单的享受，自由的思考，刺激的生活和不可或缺的感觉。

幸福就是当你照镜子的时候，喜欢你看到的那个人。

只有一种方法能得到幸福──不要为我们控制不了的事而担忧。

愚蠢的人到远方寻找幸福，聪明的人在脚下种植幸福。

幸福就像接吻一样──你不付出就无法享受。

幸福就在于把每一天都当成蜜月第一天或假期最后一天。

无论是国王还是农夫，只要能在自己家里找到安宁，他就是最幸福的人。

Locked Inside

2007-09-03T13:05:00.000+08:00

For a moment just now... My family and I were locked inside our own house! And of course it was all my doing; silly ol' me.

I had left the house keys in the front door keyhole _outside_ the house, causing the lock system to be jammed and stuck. Smooth move, huh!

But for that moment, it was a very unusual feeling -- I was scared that we were locked in and could possibly never get out, yet at the same time, I was laughing and laughing at the predicament that we were in.

But of course, now the matter's resolved, but hey, how often does one get locked inside one's own home? xD

Right or Left?

2007-09-01T09:12:00.000+08:00

Don't laugh.

But I've always had a problem with differentiating right from left, 左跟右.

Since young, I would've taken 5 seconds for my brain to register a right-left command and execute it, and even then, it may not be ~~left~~ right. But of course, over the years the reaction time has decreased to about, well... 2 seconds?

Haha, you may think that it's only a 50-50 chance of getting it right or left, but I'm quite sure my brain just has a lower processing speed than normal...

Hmm, maybe I should start by writing 'Right' on my right hand and 'Left' on my left; I'm sure that'll help! Now just give my 2 seconds; which one is which again?

Praiseworthy

2007-08-25T07:28:00.000+08:00

I got praised for one of the weirdest things one could ever be praised for. But I guess I really am proud of myself for this!

Mum: You slept at 11.30 p.m. last night?
Me: Yeps.
Mum: Wahh, you've been sleeping earlier these days arh... Good, keep it up!
Me: Hee, OK!

Sorry if this seems like an wuliao post, but I've been a good boy, OK! =P

Fireworks

2007-08-18T22:47:00.000+08:00

After last year's fireworks, you could say that my aunts and I have become veterans! We know how to get there early enough, get a good spot, bring things to occupy ourselves... All for the long wait that would be well worth it when the fireworks come on.

One thing, though, that we didn't bring last year was a camera, so we made sure that we brought one this time round!

The Paradoxical Commandments

2007-08-15T18:19:00.000+08:00

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Dumber on the MRT

2007-08-11T12:58:00.000+08:00

I think I get dumber on the MRT!

Case #1:

You know how the MRT carriages have doors opening on both sides...

Imagine yourself arriving at your destination station, standing in front of one of the two doors, waiting for the doors to open... Right behind you.

Then you turn around and walk towards the other door while everyone looks on as the doofus makes his way across.

Case #2:

You're waiting on the platform for the train to come...

Yay, it approaches! It comes in from the right, just like them buses and taxis on the road...

My arm feels a funny twitch... My brain says, 'Hmm.' My arm goes up anyway -- To flag down the train.

Help, maybe I should just take the next train.

Laughing At Myself

2007-08-08T22:53:00.000+08:00

Laughing at your ownself can be the funniest sometimes!

Me: So what's Takuto* doing right now?
ZQ: Watching Mr. Bean.
Me: But how does he understand what's going on? There aren't any Japanese subtitles, are there?
ZQ: You know Mr. Bean doesn't talk much, right?

Straight Into A Pillar

2007-08-06T18:55:00.000+08:00

Today I saw someone walking head-down, and then straight into a pillar.

So now I think I have a theory as to the way people walk.

First, there're the people with their noses in the air. Probably the arrogant, over-confident, or egoistic kinds.

Then, there're the people who always look down. Either they're careful people, always looking down at where they tread, or they've very low-confidence in themselves and are more reserved.

Both ways, I think one day they'd end up walking straight into a pillar. So look straight ahead!

I used to be the kind that always looked down, my head perpetually hanging at the hinges; I was the meek, quiet, and reserved person. But I guess I've slowly gained more confidence in myself, and I slowly started to raise my head...

Now I hope I maintain my forward-looking walking habit, then I won't ever have to worry about walking straight into a pillar.

Pleased With Myself

2007-07-28T18:01:00.000+08:00

I feel so pleased with myself -- I sorted out my trash for recycling at Ikea!

You know how Ikea is so environmentally friendly; they charge 5 cents and 10 cents for plastic bags, and have recycled bins stationed all around the mall.

And what did I recycle? My Burger King drink!

After I finished drinking my soda I found myself a set of recycle bins at a pillar, and wondered which bin I should dump it in.

Hmm.

Aha!

I took out the straw and the plastic cover and dumped it inside 'PLASTIC', then emptied the ice into 'RESIDUAL', and finally dumped the paper cup into 'PAPER'!

So smart right, hur! I still feel so pleased with myself! =D

10 Thumbs Up!

2007-07-22T02:11:00.000+08:00

I never thought much about my blog; I mean, I like the way I write my blog, but it seems really amateurish compared to other ones. But recently, a reader actually gave me some feedback about my blog; giving it 10 thumbs up!

1) The content is highly unpredictable.
2) The content is not about high and lofty things but down to earth everyday stuff which one can easily relate to.
3) There's hardly much complaints and swear words which is quite typical of most teenage blogs.
4) In fact, most of them are rather amusing looks at common things.
5) The language is mostly consistent with the subject matter.
6) Comes once every few days, not too many, not too few... Just enough to tantalize readers to return.
7) Not flashy and attention seeking.
8) Short, neat and very anecdotal.
9) Very appropriate graphics.
10) Very nice author!

=D

Phone Etiquette

2007-07-19T17:04:00.000+08:00

Brother: Hello?
Friend: Hello, can I speak to Kevin please?
Brother: Err, wait arh...
*With cordless phone in hand, searches for me.*
*Finds that I'm in the toilet.*
*Knocks loudly on the toilet door.*
Brother: KORKOR YOUR FRIEND.
Me: ._.
*Silence.*
*I kept quiet, feeling embarassed. *
(What? Was I supposed to yell back, "WAIT ARH I'M COMING OUT."?)
Brother: Err, I think you can call back later?
Friend: OK...
*Friend is probably very amused. >.>*

Desk Monster!

2007-07-16T20:39:00.000+08:00

Horrors of horrors! Today we found out that our desks got devoured by the evil Desk Monster! It rampaged our classrooms over the weekend and gobbled all our desks up!

They say you only learn to appreciate things only after you lose them, and I have learnt my lesson, oh great Desk Monster! Please regurgitate our desks! It was really difficult doing work and studying without a proper desk. Not comfortable at all...

I promise to treasure these kind of small things in life that I would not otherwise give two hoots about.

A Nice Surprise

2007-07-11T19:30:00.000+08:00

Today I got a very nice surprise from a very nice friend...

It was just so thoughtful, yet at the same time sudden, that when I received it from him I was kinda' startled! But then I felt so warm and fuzzy inside, and so I'd like to thank this very nice friend for making my day. =)

Commercial Break!

2007-07-10T20:12:00.000+08:00

It's a commercial break now, so I'm taking the opportunity to tell you that my family has gotten our new Samsung 32" LCD TV, hurrah!

'K'K, the show's starting, bye!

07.07.07

2007-07-07T20:30:00.000+08:00

The 7th of July, 2007, has definitely got to be one of the most special days in all of time.

It was a special day for Mother Earth, as the Live Earth concerts were held all around the world on this day. (I do sincerely hope that we can change the way things are going now and save the Earth!)

It was also a special day for 777 couples who took their vows today and will begin their journey as husbands and wives.

It was also a special day for my family and me, as it is the day where we have purchased our new 32" Samsung LCD TV! XD (It'll be delivered on Monday and we can't wait!)

Ahh, this day shall go down forever in history, etched in history's stone. x)

Instruction Manual? Or Joke Book?

2007-07-05T16:21:00.000+08:00

My aunt gave my dad an oven for his birthday! Which I think is such a wonderful present; now a whole new range of cooking options are open to our family! Baked rice, cakes, cookies, pork ribs, etc.! And food has got to be another one of my family's favourites!

We open the instruction manual hoping to find out more about how to work the oven's magic, but were instead left laughing!

Emergency!

2007-07-02T16:27:00.000+08:00

Emergency! Emergency!

Our comrade has been knocked out cold. All he's showing is a blue face, and won't respond to anything!

We've tried splashing him with cold water, shaking him violently, and even the defibrillator, but nothing seems to be working.

Perhaps he's in a coma; we can only hope...

But until then, we've got to survive on our reserve.

The future will be tough, but we've got to find a way to live with just that one small TV.

Uh-oh.

2007-06-30T23:48:00.000+08:00

My aunt's birthday cake looked real yummy! I've always loved chocolate, so I knew it was heaven for me -- Chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse, chocolate fudge, chocolate coating...

With my little paper plate of paradise, I skipped to join my family at the table, prepared to slowly savour it bit by bit...

But then I realised that something was not right. The chair felt cold... And gooey... And squishy...

I stood up to inspect the chair, but it looked as normal as any chair could be.

Uh-oh.

Peering over my shoulder, I saw a paper plate stuck to my butt.

"Who put the cake there!"

好久不穿

2007-06-25T19:06:00.000+08:00

For the whole of today, I was feeling uncomfortable all over! Maybe it was because I haven't been wearing my school uniform for so long, or maybe it's because I've grown! (I hope it's the latter xD)

But especially round the collar! Maybe it's after not wearing a tie for a month... But the whole of today was terrible; I couldn't wait for the school bell to ring at 2.40 p.m. to take it off! And now I have a red ring around my neck. =S

If I still feel uncomfortable over the next few days, I shall go get a new set of uniform!

Had I Walked A Little Bit Faster...

2007-06-21T18:29:00.000+08:00

Was walking around Toa Payoh Central the other day with my mum...

When I saw 2 blobs of some stuff plummet to the ground from above...

After which, followed the sound of flapping birds overhead.

O_O

Upon closer inspection, the blobs of stuff half a metre ahead turned out to be pretty little splats of bird poop.

How delightful! Pretty presents from the heavens above.

After some admiration, I skipped around the work of art on the floor.

Then I wondered what would have happened if I had walked a little bit faster!

Missing Teddy!

2007-06-16T14:36:00.000+08:00

NOTICE FOR MISSING TEDDY

I have lost my dear SPMF Teddy! It has dropped off from it's keychain on my bag, and is probably wandering the streets of Singapore all alone and crying!

It has brown fur, has a checkered blue bow tie, and has a little blue and white coloured heart pinned on its chest.

If you happen to chance upon such a teddy, please console it and return it to me!

Thank you! *sobs*

Sincerely, The Distraught Owner.

呀咪粽!

2007-06-13T21:42:00.000+08:00

It's gonna' be 端午节 soon, so my family is getting into the 粽子 making craze once again, just like any other year. But this year, I decided to create my very own 粽子!

I wanted something with ingredients that I liked, yet would be, in my opinion, something that looks nice and is healthy! Teehee, so I came up with what I shall now creatively call 呀咪粽! =D

呀咪粽!

Inside every 呀咪粽 there's ham, bacon, mixed vegetables and cheese! So when you break open a piping hot and fresh 呀咪粽, you're greeted by orange, yellow, green and pink colours, plus melted cheeze that oozes out! =O

Too bad for you, they're limited edition! Right now I have only... 7 left, I think! And they will be gone by Friday. xD

Are You Sure You're Sec. 4?

2007-06-11T18:01:00.000+08:00

For the last time, YES...!

On the MRT this morning:

Auntie: Wahh, 你在读什么?
Me: 哦, 鲁迅...
Auntie: 啊... 他可是个学者哦.
Me: 嗯，是的...
Auntie: 你那么小会读这种书meh? 你读小学还是中学的?
Me: *Feels like saying, "啊哈哈哈哈，Auntie, 你真会开玩笑hor!" >.>*
Me: *But still smiling very sweetly...* 我现在已经中四了.

Yeah lah, if someone says that I look 16 when I'm 20 it'll be a nice compliment, but right now such compliments about my youth only points to my lack of tallness and small frame which don't sound particularly nice on my ears. >.>

You're Sec. 4?

2007-06-10T21:29:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I'm Sec. 4. -_-

At CIP:

Adult A: So, you're in Sec. 2 this year, is it?
Me: No, Sec 4...
Adult A: Huh, Sec. 4 already arh? Don't look like it leh...
Me: I know...-_-

At GeoTrail:

Adult B: So you guys are in Sec. what this year?
Us: Sec. 4.
Adult B: Oh, I see... Not all of you look like you're from Sec. 4 leh...
*Looks at me.*
Me: Yeah, I know I look like I'm from Sec. 1. -_-
Adult B: No lah... More like Sec. 2 lah.

10 Months in a Year

2007-06-08T23:15:00.000+08:00

Some people seem to have more than 24 hours a day. Everyone has at least 28 days a month. And some... Have less than 12 months a year!

My brother's sitting for his PSLE this year, and he was doing this math assessment book, with this question that he got stuck at...

Mei Ling was born on 1st August 1997. How old will she be on 1st March 2006?

(a) 9 Years 8 Months
(b) 9 Years 7 Months
(c) 8 Years 8 Months
(d) 8 Years 7 Months

Edwin: Mummy, how many months are there between August and March?
Mum: Aiyoh, you count on your own lah! Don't tell me you don't know your months?!
Edwin: Err... I know...
Mum: Recite the months for me! Starting from January!
Edwin: January, February, March... April... June? Then July...
Mum: O_O
Edwin: August...? Then September, November, December!
Mum: My goodness, Edwin...! Are you sure you don't know!
*My brother scrambles for the calendar and finds out that he missed May and October out.*

I was just laughing away at my dear brother. XD

How Cute I Was!

2007-06-05T18:42:00.000+08:00

My brother and I was helping my mum to pack up some stuffs in our room today, and we chanced upon lotsa' stuff that brought back great memories...!

Like how I had hundreds of doodles of Pokemons kept in this file! I was pretty crazy about Pokemon when I was young; watched the cartoon, played the Gameboy game, collected the trading cards, collected the stickers... I must have made my parents waste how much money...!

Now I shall leave you with this ugly drawing. Which just goes to show how cute I was! =D

Got Earwax?

2007-06-03T21:54:00.000+08:00

Pooh says, "No!"

Seasick

2007-05-31T17:09:00.000+08:00

Weirdly, I feel seasick. Maybe it's because the fluids in my ears are especially... Sensitive today. Which makes the slightest tilt of my head make me feel all giddy. So now I'm trying to keep my head as straight as possible, and not give the fluids a bad jolt.

I've no idea why this is happening, and when this started. But just now, I launched myself into my bed for a rest, disturbing the fluids in my ear very badly, and it seemed as though my whole room was rocking from left to right.

Promptly I felt an urge to puke! For which I jetted off of my bed, only to make the little pool of fluids in my ear even more choppy. @_@ Dizzy-giddy-giddy-dizzy!

Then I held my puke back, held my head straight, and tried to steady myself.

Perhaps now I should go nap, and everything will feel better. But this time round, I'll make sure I lie myself gently down on my bed.

Fishing for Idioms!

2007-05-30T18:57:00.000+08:00

I think that everything went super well for the Language Arts Fest! I bet you, our booth was the prettiest and had the longest queue! =D

But one thing I've learnt; never underestimate young kiddoes, but don't overestimate them either! I.e. Gotta' estimate them just right xD

Because in our wonderful game, the kiddoes have to fish half an idiom out of the fishtank, and complete it to successfully get their stamp and prize. So we decided to have 3 difficulty levels for them, easy, medium and hard; thinking that we shouldn't underestimate kids these days.

Today I found out that we wrong! The kids can't even complete the easiest of idioms and we had to give them so many clues! After which they gave the funniest replies...

*Kiddo 1 fishes out a card.*
Us: Curiosity killed the...?
Kiddo 1: Err, I dunno'...
*Us think: Huh isn't this quite simple?*
Us: OK, here's a clue. It ends with just one word, and it's an animal.
Kiddo 1: Err, rabbit?
Us: '_'

*Kiddo 2 fishes out a card.*
Us: Money is the root of all...?
Kiddo 2: Life?
Us: '_'

*Kiddo 3 fishes out a card.*
Us: Have a whale of a...?
Kiddo: Mime?
*Me thinks: Only when you play charades can you have a whale of a mime!*

*Kiddo 4 fishes out a card.*
Us: One man's meat...?
Kiddo 4: Is another man's bones?
Us: O_o

Guess the kids need more help with idioms!

And the Oscar for Worst Actor goes to...

2007-05-26T08:00:00.000+08:00

Today's gonna' be the last day of the Things Fall Apart movie filming, and I think it's been quite a good learning experience for me. =)

I dunno', I'm not exactly the actor; more like the quiet, inexpressive guy. So it was kind of difficult for me to break out of my shell all this time. But shouldn't there have been many other opportunities for me to act before? Heh, truth is, I've always escaped from being one of the actors by opting to be one of the backstage or prop guys xD

But this time round I had 3 roles! Two of them are just extra-ing at the back lah, hur. But the other was more than that; I had quite a few lines!

Well I'll only see the movie sometime next term, and I'll bet you I'll look terrible on screen >.> But at least I tried, and that nabs me a Worst Actor Oscar, instead of nothing at all if I hadn't even tried. ^^

Blood, Sweet Blood

2007-05-22T20:07:00.000+08:00

I have mosquito bites all over me, especially after filming for the Things Fall Apart movie yesterday at the backfield! If you look at my legs right now, you'd see red spots everywhere and it's so itchy!

*scratchscratchscratch!*

Must stop myself from scratching... Must 忍...!

But really, I don't understand why I always get bitten by so many mosquitoes! Even at home, I'd always get 1 or 2 new bites when I wake up every morning, while my brother hardly ever gets any. It's so unfair!

But I always tell myself that it's because I'm such a sweet person. =D Yes, yes, of course! Mosquitoes love drinking my blood; which mosquito can resist my sweet O+ blood? None!

Rest In Peace

2007-05-19T10:51:00.000+08:00

The worse thing ever imaginable has happened to my family! T_T Now that it's gone, how will we ever survive?! What more reason is there to carry on living?! NOO~

Our telly dieded. X_X

HOW NOW?

Actually it's gone on for the pass few weeks already; suddenly our telly would just black out and appear as just a blue screen -- We knew our telly was dying. But those few times, we always managed to give it that extra jolt to bring it back to life by smacking it real hard. And our dear telly would revive itself to bring back to us the endless entertainment that my family needed to survive.

But this morning was different! *sobs* We hit it, smacked it, shook it, slapped it... But it never woke up! After that my mum and I spent the morning at the dining table staring blankly at each other in unthinkable boredom.

Hopefully my dad the telly doctor can repair it when he gets back. =\ If not... If not... We'll have to find a nice spot under a tree for our dearest telly to rest in peace. T_T

Pwned By Chess

2007-05-16T23:42:00.000+08:00

How can anyone not know how to play chess?

Why not? I'm the living proof! Yes, you got that right; I've no idea how to play International Chess or Chinese Chess.

I remember I tried learning when I was 8. It was my first plane ride ever! On Malaysian Airlines to Gold Coast, Australia. And they gave out these little chess sets to play on board, so with my hands on that little chess set, little curious me wanted to learn how to play it. I tugged at my dad's sleeve and got him to teach me, but I think I didn't get pass the movements for each piece. xD I tried learning from the instruction sheet but I gave up too.

And then I never tried again. Maybe I should try again sometime, though... How embarassing to be pwned by chess. xD

A Little More Effort

2007-05-15T21:14:00.000+08:00

It was, seriously speaking, a MOUNTAIN of books. After 3 weeks of having none of us friendly school librarians around, the books piled up to one gigantic heap. Then everything was in a disarray; books just lying here and there, no one bothering to put their books back from where they got them.

At the end of the day my back hurt, my fingers were cramped and I was sneezing from all the dust. Oh and I was sweating too, in the air-conditioned library, how funny. And nope, we didn't finish with the tidying, and had to leave it for tomorrow.

I really don't understand why some people can't make a little more effort in helping to keep the library tidy sometimes. Can't you just help by pushing your chair in when you're done? Not just in the library, but anywhere else in the world; please be a gentleman and push in your seat when you're done, thanks. Or just place the books back from where you found them, so that other people can find them easily next time, right? Help other people, help yourself! And please, is it it very difficult to throw your rubbish on your way out from the library? Sheesh!

Or maybe I should thank them for giving us librarians something to do, haha. But sometimes I just really wonder why some people can't put in a little more effort. =\

Dr. KW

2007-05-09T17:23:00.000+08:00

I was at the hospital visiting my gramps this afternoon, and seeing the doctors hard at work, it just made me think of how I had wanted to be one when I was young. Me? A doctor? Now very hard to imagine right? Haha, now I can't think of myself as one either!

But it was because I thought that doctors were such helpful people in society, I guess. Which made me want to be one too, so that I could cure illness and save the world! =D

But I remembered clearly the two things that made me give up, regrettably...

One, fear! Fear of blood, fear of messing up someone's internal organs, fear of prescribing the wrong medicine, fear of shortening someone's life span; and possibly by a lot! =S

Two, because it involved way too much studying >.> How can you expect me to study about something as complex as the human body? The billions of billions of different drugs and symptoms and hundred and one ways the body can malfunction. No thank you!

So now I think I want to be a teacher, and mould young minds that will, in turn, become future doctors! I'm sure that that's even better? =D

母子

2007-05-07T18:58:00.000+08:00

A Substitute for Coffee

2007-05-03T22:08:00.000+08:00

Monkey's Milo

Milo Powder - 2 Teaspoons
Sugar - 2 Teaspoons
Banana Milk - 2 Dashes
Chocolate Milk - 2 Dashes

Mix everything together with hot water, then top with a heap of Milo powder and sugar.
________________________________________

Somehow I was out of coffee powder, so I decided to invent my very own drink to perk myself up, and it actually turned out to be pretty nice! (Fingers still crossed, though; that I won't get a stomach ache.)

I Can See A Rainbow!

2007-05-01T10:43:00.000+08:00

The last time I saw a rainbow was on the 1st of January, and now I see one on the 1st of May. Funny trend huh. xD

Well seeing it this morning has given me some strength and hope in facing the impending storm... *gulp*

Owe Money, Pay Money!

2007-04-26T17:40:00.000+08:00

This morning, I found something scrawled in big blue ink on the wall down at my stair landing.

O$P$
#??-???

How freaky, this is the first brush with loansharks that I've ever had in my life! (Besides this the closest would be on Mediacorp TV dramas. >.>)

I hope I don't see a pig's head hanging from the ceiling down at the void deck next!

Butterflies and Ice Cream

2007-04-25T22:00:00.000+08:00

Two things made me happy today; butterflies and ice cream. x)

I've no idea if it's just after the butterfly egg hatching season or something, but today I must've seen a total of around 7 butterflies. How cool is that, never seen so many before! Some butterflies I saw fluttering by in school, others I saw on the way home.

And ice cream! Rainbow Paddle Pop, hee, I loved this when I was a kid. (And I still do love it! ^^) I bought it from the little booth in the SAC; a Year 5 class was raising money for their Window on the World trip. Isn't it nice, I get an ice cream, and at the same time, it's for a good cause. 一举两得!

Tomorrow, I shall eat more ice cream! And hopefully there'll be more butterflies, too. x)

Me? Sick?

2007-04-20T20:43:00.000+08:00

You know, I haven't fallen sick for 2 years already; I almost thought I was so healthy and immune to all forms of diseases.

But for once, I fell sick! I got a fever and really felt plain horrigible. And I vomitted a few times too; so that's what it tastes like. Yucks! I really never want to fall sick again.

But I guess one thing good about falling sick, is that you realise how much your friends care for you. Thanks you guys, I really appreciate it! ^^

Katakana

2007-04-15T15:20:00.000+08:00

I think I've remembered most of the Hiragana liao! ^^ Now on to Katakana...

Hazelnut Hot Chocolate

2007-04-14T16:17:00.000+08:00

I hereby declare Starbuck's Hazelnut Hot Chocolate as my official Changi Airport drink-of-choice -- Nothing beats having a nice hot cup of it in my hands, especially in the freezing cold airport at 5 a.m. in the morning.

My aunts welcomed me home from Melbourne last year with a cup of this in hand, and I distinctly remember the thick hazelnutty-chocolatey taste! I just knew I had to have one again this morning when I saw my aunts off, hee. Now I'm bent on having a cup of it everytime I'm at the airport. ^^

逆光

2007-04-10T19:01:00.000+08:00

中板轻快的节奏配合上孙燕姿有力量又肯定的声线，以钢琴为主底，加上大量和声及弦乐的配合，给人一种看到了希望的感觉，听到了新的希望的燕姿。

逆光

也许我一直害怕有答案
也许爱静静在风里打转
离开释怀
很短暂又重来
有时候自问自答

我不要困难把我们挤散
我责备自己那么不勇敢
遗憾没有到达
拥抱过还是害怕
用力推开你我依然留下

有一束光
那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼
你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭
我逆着光却看见

那是泪光
那力量
我不想再去抵挡
面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方
一直就在我身旁

我以为我能后退
反复证明
这份爱有多不对
背对着你如此漆黑
忍住疲惫
睁开眼
打开窗
才发现你就是光芒

Dandelion

2007-04-09T23:54:00.000+08:00

I never noticed that there were dandelions on the way home from the bus stop, until today.

What else do you do with dandelions but help send the seeds off on a journey with the wind?

A Medicine Called Love

I've realised today how much my Papa loves me, even in the smallest of gestures <3

I've been coughing for the past few days, see, and this morning my dad was sending me to Raffles Institution for 'Wheel Art is Real Art', when he made an unexpected stop at a petrol station. "I'll go and get you some Strepsils," and he got out of the car before I could say anything. Maybe it was the quiet I had in the car alone that made me think.

Then when I got back home at around 6, I found a pot of barley being boiled. "This is for your cough," and my dad passed me a cup. It was lemon barley; my dad's special recipe, haha. x)

And guess what, my cough is really better now! Guess nothing works better than a medicine called love.

Fast Food Neighbours

You know I love food xD Out of all the fast food restaurants, I think my favourite few have got to be KFC, Long John Silver's and Mos Burger. I like the chicken from KFC loads, Long John Silver's cheap Combo 1 is yummie, and so is Mos Burger's Teriyaki Chicken Burger (Except that Mos Burger is more expensive compared to the rest.).

But I guess I took things too far with my dream today, haha; I dreamt that the 2 HDB flats on the floor below me were said fast food joints! I saw myself queuing at KFC to get a Zinger and Cheese Fries for lunch =D

Too bad I woke up before I could have dinner at Long John Silver's xD But really, how cool would it be to have a fast food joint for a neighbour?

Your 21st Birthday

On Saturday night I went to my "pseudo" cousin's 21st birthday! ("Pseudo" because she's my mum's cousin's daughter, haha) It was like any other birthday party, really; they got a caterer to prepare a buffet spread and had cake. =\

Which is what got my parents and aunts and the rest of the adults reminiscing, haha xD About their 21st birthdays and how it was so much more special. The adults said that for their 21st birthday parties they invited the entire extended family and all their friends, plus they'd leave the gate open and let anyone who wanted to join in come! Then they'd prepare all the food themselves and make their very own decorations and put them up. And they'll play games! (Yes, even at 21 years old xD) Plus my mum said that they'd get a disco ball and everyone'd dance the night away.

In other words it was like some grand event where everyone would celebrate your obtaining the key to adulthood. Yet now people who turn 21 don't do much anymore.

What would/did you do on your 21st birthday?
