taiwan prep [May. 7th, 2009|04:35 pm]
i finally had my two vaccinations today, flu and typhoid vaccine. It wasn't my great idea to go for sure because i am afraid of needles! but going with two very ferocious teachers which they constantly remind me i must go no matter what or else they will knock me and drag me there and finish it off! giving me the kind of stare each time they talked about vaccination! in that jabbing process i didn't shriek out loud, though i really wanted to dash out of the room! reminding and telling myself if i pass this i am AWESOME! lol :D great! finally trashed that phobia! or maybe the nurse had really live up to being professional because it wasn't at all painful and in my entire life so far i had loads of bad experiences with needles. Pricking or twisting constantly like 3 -4 times and nothing comes out or wrong points by past nurses and doctors. i will definitely go back there only if i need any jabs again xD. I am going taiwan on the 5th of june with my two colleagues and we are going on a backpacking trip! So to be safe i had to be vaccinated! but i had some after effects now like aching all over suddenly! probably because i ran 5km yesterday and suddenly after the jab my muscles start to ache, it wasn't hurting in the morning. :( we bought one way ticket to taiwan and not too sure how long would i be away this time. maybe even up to 2 weeks. if i see a big reason to be back early i probably will. i need a backpack now and a good pair of sneakers with lots of info to be embedded into my brain stream. the purpose is to explore the scenic beauty, live like a commoner and take railway trains and soak in springs! shopping will be very minimal :D

i am perfectly good [Apr. 18th, 2009|11:22 pm]
[Current Mood |chipperchipper]

why is everyone thinking that i am venting on something, seriously i am not, and i am perfectly okay.

another weekend almost passing.. though this few weekends were all good i would say :) and i have visited the same exhibit, christian lacroix's, thrice! first with lex, second with colleagues, third with students, sharon and ron. i would agree the christian lacroix's haute couture was good, very inspiring sketches and interesting series of each collection. of cos the third time to the museum, i completed all the entire exhibits! YAY! :D

i got home early i was really tired, woke up at 6am to see skin doc with ron before the museum trip. barely slept 3 hours because of mahjong the evening before xD. ron challenged me to draw him. i did a sketch of him and he did a much nicer sketch of me. and because we had no eraser and struggling with an only HB pencil. made me 'stole' a partial of an eraser to save the day.

our very two different styles of drawings
me drawing him
Photobucket

& him drawing me, and he has a funny way of holding pencil when shading lol
Photobucket

it suddenly reminded me of lasalle days where we all take turns to pose for our classmates to draw. and i posed for 15mins where i crossed my arms and got so numb after that. i missed being a student :o

lousy katong hongkong cafe [Apr. 11th, 2009|12:52 am]
everyone had finished eating, i've waited for almost an hour, it was almost 12 midnight and i had not had my dinner. my worse experience the second time at the same place, lousy attitude, lousy service quality. a cup of warm water upon request for my sick friend arrived in 5 minutes, drinks start arriving in 10 minutes, food start arriving in 25 minutes. everyone had finished their food except for mine. asking politely if my food is ready after 40 minutes of waiting time, the china waitress said: Coming coming. 5 minutes thereafter, waitress: less than a min it will be served(speaking with a can't be bothered attitude), an hour later the manager walked past, i asked: is my food ready? it always says coming soon but where is it?! the manager said he would check for me. walking back he said: sorry we missed out your order. do you want to order something else? i don't see what's the point of telling me that when i still have to wait if i order it again isn't it. and the fact that the rude waitress had lied and telling that it is on its way is so wrong! why does she have to lie and not even do a proper check and pretended it was really on its way. what bad service is this and the manager couldn't be bothered either although at the end i appreciate the fact that he was honest enough to tell me they actually missed my order. i was furiously mad. the lousiest hongkong cafe i had been to with lousiest standards. i will never ever go back to the katong one again.

spilled out my thoughts that has been embedded right within me for the past several months.. altho initially i was alright but now when i think back i feel quite sad.. a fair share of good memories and bad.. how much i have changed isn't really fair because we were one usually much similar.. i can't see myself holding onto it for a long time, each time i feel frustrated and stressed, i really disliked the seasonal waves.. what i want is a set of mutual understanding and respect too.. that one incident made me really upset.. i couldn't forget how heart wrenching that was..


But i finally said it

i haven't died ever since the last i made my entry.. now here again :) life is pretty much good as usual and definitely with many fruitful events that seemed to have bypassed quickly. I had went to a Batam retreat with my fellow colleagues, got to know them better and ignited me with inspirations too like what i should do more in years to come.. they are all very nice people, which i like to the idea that this journey had lead me to know the different walks of life too. People with different intellect aspirations and the influences of being positive! :D

some things changed along the way, which i wanted to quit my job to pursue what i really want to do which is into media studies, doing my animation, video editing which i loved and enrich myself with more knowledge of 3D. tomorrow is the deadline for my portfolio submission and ever since i pondered over it for like 3 weeks, i hesitated.. because i know that i couldn't be selfish to do what i love and create a burden to my family. taking study loans of 18k and no contribution if i have start school would mean a greater load on my family for the next 3 years. i guess i will stick on to my current job, although it is not something i am ultimately good at, or something that i have great passion in it, i will make it worth since i have learned to adapt and it does not seemed like a bad choice after all because i have since learnt a lot of values too. well it is the choice i have made, i told myself i would not regret because i have got a clearer picture now of what i would want in 5 years time.

today had been a great day, went for a trip to the museum, my second trip to SAM for this month. the same artworks, but i got to learn and understand greater depth of the artworks. it was a trip with colleagues to show support for one of them whom is doing a tour guide exam on tuesday. she is very thankful that we were willing to come down to visit to let her bring us around for an hour to listen to her rehearsal. we of course were very thankful because we also absorbed the knowledge! there were quite a number of beautiful works! but too bad we couldn't take pictures there! except for one which i snapped, not an artwork but a part of the o' St Joseph Institute(the SAM building used to be this) which was preserved which we discovered up high almost the ceiling..

the words were very much faded away, should read as signum fidei, a latin word which means ''A sign of our faith", the motto of the school i think.

and YES i have since started drawing on my moleskine, very incomplete!!.. but still processing :D the first page would be "about me"; so it would be things of my daily life which i live with toys in my room and getting more things drawn soon to make it complete. i wish i would never grow up!

i am down with flu... runny nose ~~~~

truth [Jan. 25th, 2009|03:58 pm]
The utmost truth may hurt
somehow to believe
from what you ultimately feel
in your heart
that life isn't exactly fair
with things you wished you can edit
but to touch a life of someone
it is possible

i am totally touched by this video
you need to pick yourself up

four plus this morning i could had been home lying on my bed after washing up and lie on bed at 5. i went chilling at vino vino and then to mr bean thereafter. flagging cabs all lethargic mode with zz monsters looping our heads finally board on one. after two alighted leaving me and ting, and were almost going to k.o and a motorcycle collided with us. we didn't even know that until our cab driver came out of his cab. goes to show how tired we were. we got down the cab and we saw the pillion, sitting and holding onto her feet and of course blood. we both shocked by what we saw and became very awaked, almost scare the shit out of us. her big toe seems to be coming off. she's malaysian and the rider wasn't sure how to get to the hospital, and he said he had to head to his workplace first -_-. we brought her to the nearby hospital and stayed with her till she's warded. A & E procedures took so long, lots of waiting and the blood kept dripping, it doesn't seem as emergency as we thought. she was trembling. after 3 hours she was finally in her ward awaiting for her surgery time, fortunately her boss came down for her. she is really thankful and we were happy that she is ok now and didn't lose a toe. though i think that she might worry a lot for the bills to come. ting and i shared a cab home both smiling widely and the taxi uncle said "i never see people board taxi from hospital taxi stand so happy one." i slept the entire saturday away.


i am watching this now before i go back to sleep again ^^ super hilarious!
silence i kill u!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!!
I just got home this morning! Memorable one this year, tho it was simple chalet and bbQ with ting, april, maki, amy, lu and dewei. usually there would be either one missing, going overseas on festive xmas but thankful that this year we finally had a complete one! It was my first having chalet at aloha changi. The house was rather roomy and much difference from the chalets that i have been so far. Its like a house in the woods, very grassy surroundings and directly behind it was actually the ol' changi hospital and didn't took notice till we saw the stairways leading towards up there right next to us. Everyone participated in bbq, all of girls bbqing which is rarely seen :D at the same time we were killing big ants and mosquitoes, screaming when crickets hopping past. we had mahjong, jenga and monopoly and present exchange. love all the lovely thoughtful gifts and of course the great company! Glad that everyone is happy. Thankful for everything! will update pictures soon, awaiting for pictures from Lu! Thank you for the twilight book too! will read it very soon! =)

going back to work on Monday. its time to stop bumming around! i am so tired! barely slept 3 hrs, enduring to watch nya nya show! hehehe
