Sometimes, I just despise those who dont help themselves and still expect to ask for help from others. I take pride and responsibility in my work and I dont see why some others cant.

Anyway, I feel so terrible for not studying much. Will be mugging and probably wont see me anywhere in msn or facebook. If im determined enough, I probably wont be blogging for the whole week until the exam finish.

Sayonara, my dear friends...

3:51 PM


Unlike Yiling who spent her Saturday so efficiently, I spent it very unwisely. Didnt cover much of my studies cause yesterday so happens to be my mum's birthday.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to my laoma, happy birthday to you!

Actually didnt plan celebration cause now is intense mugging period. Luckily my cousin came prepared. Initially his arrival should have been a surprise. Big mouth brother spilled it out "unintentionally" to mum on Friday. And I still hold a grudge to him. Im a grudgeful person. Anyway, my cousin bought a special special cake (my favourite Sweet Secret's Chocolate Tiramisu) for mum. Though clever me had long guessed the other surprise very long ago, it's still amazed me to see the real thing.

Dah- Dah!!
My mum, like me, likes to celebrate younger birthday. So she's only 25 this year. Heh! But her daughter, me is almost 20??!!

See, she so happy cutting "herself" up.

And so, everybody also ate "her" up happily.

Evening, I drove my dad's car to EastPoint with mum and cousin to takeaway chicken rice. Still think my driving skill not up to mark. Especially parking. Both me and my cousin took 3 attempts to park the car. Two kukus, in the end, also didnt acheive beautiful result. The car was parked slanted. =_=!!!

Birthday Special credits to:
Mr Ah Yong Kor Kor (for the nice nice cake and accompany)
The happy birthday laoma
Me (for being chauffeur and provide photo)
Laodi (for big mouthing. grudge~~)
Laopa (for sit alongside study map, eating cake)

Oh Yah. I wanna complain!! Lum was so stingy today. I specially woke up so early in the morning, thinking that I can get some tips out from Lum for LPCS. It was so disappointing that he didnt give any. So stingy.

And before I forgot, LOM lecturers' tongues were acting wierd lately. They had wierd pronounciation for some words.

Negotiation -> Neh-go-c-a-tion
Fly -> Fry
Supplier -> Sur-pry-er

Okay. Enough blogging. Time to mug, mug, mug... 

5:54 PM


I shouldnt have gone to play badminton today. I dont need to wait till tomorrow. I feeling sore all over from the two and a half hours of badminton-ing. The tests are just two days later and I haven start studying. What's more im so damn sleepy and tired after all the playing. Despite that, badminton was fun. I haven play for a very very very ... long time. It's a bad thing im aging cause my reaction was slower by 0.05 seconds. Within this 0.05 seconds, I should be able to hit back a lot of times. 

Initially I thought that there were only me, Yiling, Wenni and Conan (for a a while) were playing. Me and Yiling was still regretting that we booked two courts for three straight hours. Who knows, halfway through, the guys gang appeared out of nowhere and joined the game. And it's both scary and funny to see them play badminton. Scary cause they were playing as if their life were at stake. (You should have see the remain of the poor shuttlecock. Most of the feathers were gone after they played.) Funny cause they had a lot of funny conversations and exaggerate movements. In the end, the number of players increased to 8. Just nice, four versus four in each court. 

And we were sweating like nobody business. Sports Complex is a warm place with no aircon. =X

I finally submitted my camp form. The camp is on 9th and 10th of June. If im lucky, I should be in Taiwan during that period. Haiz. Im feeling so sian to go for a camp. But thinking that it is probably the last time I ever attend camp and that I probably couldnt walk out alive if I didnt attend, I submitted my form. Even Yiling, the emo kia and Wanyan are going. Yet, there are five big rules of me attending:
1) No nightwalk (this is the first priority. I still remember clearly the horror I had last year.)
2) No water games (rheumatism)
3) No climbing (weak bones)
4) No socialising
5) No faking

So actually, I also dunno why im going since im practically not participating in most of the activities. I know im going to regret some times later.


Im regretting...

This is a horror story for all the birds out there. 

Dont only think that in this whole wide world, birdy's life will only be threatened by the gunman's furious shots. For there are another concrete life threatening machines in any peaceful neighbourhood - the aircon motor.

Dont huh. It looks harmless enough but it is a serial bird killer. Currently, 5 birds lives had been taken away by this machine. Though it's not the machine's intention to kill any bird, it has lovely, inviting big hole (from constant wearing and tearing resulted from water dripping from condenser and rainwater) for bird-ies to crawl in and stay. It looks safe enough to shelter the bird-ies from other big bird-ies, rains and shines. But once any birdy crawl in to stay, their life are numbered.

The first bird, a crow, died when the fan grinded her head, leaving behind 3 bird-ies eggs. No matter how hard the owner of the aircon motor had feared, another stupid birdy really crawled into the seemingly harmless machine. It made the family wondered hard why it didnt see all the dried blood stains and chose to stay. And so, stupid birdy stayed and unfortunately, followed the path of the first birdy, died under the cruel spinning fan. It had been identified by its yellow feet as a mynah. Servicing team finally came today to put a stop to all the doings of the machine and mend the damn hole.

Sadly though, the stupid birdy's body dropped from 5th storey while the servicing team took out the fan. It's body still laid at the ground floor of the block, putting a sad ending to all the terrors.

Caution to all bird-ies: *^(#$@^!&(*%$^)*&*^%$@ @%&#%&$^#^* (birdy language)

PS: The servicing uncles are really really nice. They charged us $40 ony for doing all these foul jobs. I think that amount isnt even enough to cover their transport fees for this two trips. What's more, it's a dangerous job to climb out of the window to repair the motor. I am more than willing to introduce them to anybody whose aircon is faulty. They are nice people and charge honestly.

10:48 PM


Crap. I wanna sleep but... The aircon isnt working again. It looks like a same problem. Only that we didnt hear the Pra- Pra- Pra sound. But me and my brother suspected we heard a Bom sound. Pray hard that not another bird is kana killed.

If the hole is not mend, im going mental. It's beginning to look like a horror bird movie.

There are so many tragedies these few days. Or maybe there have always been a lot of tragdies but I just started to notice them nowadays... ... 

Just a few blocks away from mine, an old man leaped from his 10 storey flat to death. 
The secondary school teacher also leaped from 30 storey the day before yesterday. 
An 82 years old elder lady knocked down to death by those 8 wheels lorry.
A young woman's fell from her motorcycle at expressway yesterday and was rolled over by (also) a 8 wheel lorry because that lorry cant brake in time (it was raining and road was slippery).
Singapore had the first H1N1 (that freak pig) flu.
(And I havent forget the dead crow. I thought I been hearing chirping sounds and fear that there will be another suicide bird which crawl underneath from that damn hole. My family also flinch when they heard chirping sounds. Two possibilites - hallucinations or the dead crow is haunting us.)

Dear family and friends, please take super good care of yourselves. After learning all these tragedies, I cant help but really feel that life is fragile. You guys have to look after yourself well because I cant imagine losing anyone of you... (emo emo)

Some random stuff. I just ate durians brought by my uncle. I think I been really uncontrolled in terms of diet. I ate Lays before the durians. Ate bee hoon before Lays. Ate cheese cakes in the morning before bee hoon. Ate dumpling (dumpling = 3 bowls of rice) before cheese cake. Im a sinner. I know it's only a matter of time when those fatty acid deposit all around my body. erm... 
It's not that I care. You know. People live to eat. If they cant eat, it means no life. What's more we didnt know how long we can live. uhem... Hahahaha......

I WANNA GO SWIMMING! ANY KAKIS?! <--- desperate

Im suffering two diseases currently. First one is the pre- mid- semester- horrifying- kiasu- beyond- belief syndrome. The second one is post- bird- killing- trauma. One pre, one post. Since yesterday, I been avoiding the window near the aircon motor. It got so bad that I dont dare to shut my window and had to use remote control to push and shut. =X

The identity of the bird had been confirmed. It's a crow. According to Miss Wuliao, pigeon's feet are white in colour, mynah's feet are yellow in colour and crow's feet are black in colour. After confirmation with the only witness in the house currently, the feet are black in colour. And the size is big which fits in nicely as crow is bigger than mynah. Let's observe a minute of silence for the dead crow and the three eggs.

... ... ...

Went to further studies talk today. Specially waited 2 hours for the talk. In the end, they focus on oversea university. Haiz. I hope to get in local. But anyway, the talk somehow sounds like lecture. Since it sounds like lecture, my mind automatically switch to drifting mood. So got go = no go. Except got seal points. But also no point. Cause my seal points are full. What's more there're irritating foursome sitting beside me playing flirting. Two guys and two girls were like [u hit me, i hit u, giggle. u tickle me, i tickle back, giggle somemore.] Dots. For goodness sake, it's not like the place was their home. There were 196 (supposedly) people who attended the talk! And they were occupying seats. Tsk tsk. 

Shameless.

THERE'S A MURDER IN MY HOUSE! AND THE MURDER IS COMMITTED BY ME!!! OMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The horror story: My house aircon had been faulty since last Saturday. These few days are so damn hot that normal people had difficulty surviving without aircon. Even with one fan aiming full blast at me last night, I still woke up in sweats. So my mum arranged a date to service the aircon as soon as possible. The servicing uncles finally came today while I was bathing. My brother directed them to our aircon. We had some possible problems in mind: Dirty, Gas shortage or worse come to worse, compressor faulty which may cost $500+ to replace.

The answer is none of the above. Be mentally warned that if you wanna continue reading, you must have good stomach and low imagination.

The motor outside had a hole. A big bird, attracted to the warmth of motor, flew into it to build a nest. It lived happily there without anybody notice. It even laid 3 eggs in the nest. One stupid darn hot night, we decided to switch on the aircon. What I did is just a small press on the remote control and PROOF!! Loud grinding noise was heard from the motor outside. We thought nothing about it. My dad said maybe there's some cockroach stuck by the fan. 

A lot of you probably would have guess by now... Yes... The poor bird was grinded by the fan... It's head was grinded to pieces. By me... BY MEEEE... And nobody realise that until the aircon malfunctions. Until the bird's body decomposed. Until the servicing guys came today to check. The poor ones isnt only the bird and the three unborned eggs. There are still the servicing uncles. Can you imagining the sickening smell when the cap was opened? Can you imagine the horrible sight when you are still standing dangerously outside near the window? I was fortunate to be bathing. My brother had a powerful attack by the terrible smell. 

The servicing uncles are really really nice. They didnt charge for the service cause they said there isnt any problem. Anyway, they coming back to mend the hole few days later and we are paying them definitely. They are doing so much service to handle a dead decomposed bird body and a bloody mess. Salute!

Oh ya. My mum fried chicken wings today. How gross can it be?

After so long... I finally told my student's mother that im not teaching him anymore. I said I need to work for my major project and internship so I probably wouldnt have time to tutor him. Which isnt a lie. Because I will really get very busy this year. But the main reason is I had enough of them exploiting me.

If that kid is truthfully hardworking and keen in learning, I may endure his family's stinginess and pressures. But that kid himself is a horror. He didnt do my work, argue with me, give me attitude, didnt listen to my lesson and make me shout at him every lesson. It makes me wonder why im working so hard to help him. His family just gave me a pay rise starting of this year. But it's not as if it's a lot. It's seriously below market price. For goodness sake, he just had a new laptop, new TV and his mum go to facial , manicure and pedicure every now and then. Yet, they paid me $150 for four lessons. 2 hours each lesson. Teaching a Sec 2, 2 subjects - English and Maths. Plus some complimentry giveaways:
- last minute inform tuition
- knocking at my door as and when to ask questions
- 3 tuition lessons a month (they saving the tuition fees) and expect me to cover what his teacher covered
- the- day- before- exam- tuition and expect passing
- that kid's craziness (Im gonna kill Mas Selamat!)

Im a human. Not a god. Even god help those who help themselves. What's more a mere mortal like me can do to help a family who doesnt wanna help their son. His mum told my mum on Thursday that he passed all of his subjects except maths. Which is a no surprise and a joy to me. I expected him to fail all and I said before that he doesnt deserve to pass. But I suspect his mum said that to hint to me that im doing a lousy job. It angers me. Nobody will know the amount of work I put in to truthfully help him. That's it. Im giving up. Their money are too hard to earn and I dont even give a damn to that pitiful amount. 

Okay. I give a damn to the money but im not enduring their overbearing attitude anymore. Even my mum who always give in to them because they are our neighbours burst out scolding in anger. What's for making me and my mum angry for that useless bum and his notorious family.

So I told them im not teaching anymore. Soon after I said that, I heard from my house that they were arguing and scolding that kid for chasing me away. His father shouted at him and asked him what he wanted to do from now on. Though I know it's mean to said that, I felt goody good to hear that. I wanna see if they could get another good package deal + a fool who truly wanna help like me to tutor their crazy kid. 

The only minus point is - im going to miss my $150. On the bright side, I dont have to face that crazy, useless kid anymore.

Lum said in lecture today that no laughter = easy depression. I agreed. Today did project in fourth floor library. Dear Johnny gave us a really "good" deal. We have to time the detail operation of the loaning counter. Before we start, we were having a good joke about listing all the detail steps. Maybe because we laughed too loud, the DVD loaning counter librarian from very very far away came to show us black face and stomped away. 

Not a good sign. Because me and my group members were going to stand near her counter to measure her action timings. Even when she fake smile a few times to her colleagues, her face is still very black. We were doing our timing quietly beside. But she got very sensitive. Whenever there's any slight noise, her head will twitched towards us. So scary. Like filming horror movie. Plus, our project is not making our life any easier. Our sequences were all jumble up and there were people who didnt loan and watched there instead. Sigh. Think depression aunty (librarian) was glad when we finally finish our timing.

Wee Wee's lesson was sleep inducing. Except those who participated in making noise actively, the rest had their eyes almost stitched up to one line. That includes me. It's a hard work to only just force my eyes open. Needlessly to say, I didnt process in too much information. So much for aiming to be nerd. Haiz.

Moral of the story: Laughter is the best medicine. That depression aunty looks so no- nonsense. Good thing I laugh everyday. Muahahahaha....

I celebrated Doc Wong, my best friend of 8 years, birthday on Thursday. Havent meet her for very very long. Coincidentally, we went to the same place as Yiling and Hanping for sight seeing and touring. Coincidentally, I happened to take a photo of the drink stall Yiling said wasnt open while she was there. 
Since we were there, I initially wanna take the boat around Singapore River. But it costs $13 for adult. (Urgh) Due to limited funds, we didnt take the boat in case we have no money for dinner. But it looks relaxing though. =( Is there anybody who wanna take the boat with me some other days?
Coincidentally, I also took one photo with mr courtesy lion. Hohoho. So many coincidences.
After being a Singaporean for almost 20 years, I took my first photo with Mr Merlion. I dunno why. But probably because Mr Merlion has sharp chin, it kind of contrast my round face significantly when I took photo with him. 
I wanna show off my photography skill!! I am so proud of this photo. Double Merlion!
So I tested my photography skill again. I think it's artistic. muahahaha.
The soft toy I gave Doc YW. He's also called Merlion. Because of his fish scale like fur. I almost cant bear to hand over to Doc YW. I planted too much feeling in him. I miss Merlion...
His backside.
Dont look at me like that. Dont tempt me to kidnap you from Doc YW.
Had dinner at Carls Junior. The meal was so full that I felt super guilty to eat so much. I wanna go on a diet!


We forgot to bring Merlion back after the meal. Think Merlion had a scare over there. We also had a scare and rush back for him. Heard from Doc YW that Merlion was being well treated. =) It makes friend with her bunny and was being molested by her whole family because he's too nice to touch. I wanna molest Merlion too...

PS: Along the route outside Esplanade was really relaxing. Mental note that it's a super place to go if the stress meter is exploding. =D

Three people had their birthday today. Which reminds me of my ominent birthday. My 20th birthday. A lot of people might not understand why I keep making a big fuss out of this 20. I think I irritated some by constant worry statement of being 20. Let me explain... 

20 years old means:
- no more a teenager. official term is grown up, adult.
- no more reason to do silly stuff. adults must be responsible for thier own actions. silly stuff = act cute
- my parents getting old
- graduation = finding job
- no job = jobless
- got job = politics + faking (what a coincidence. I happen to hate this two things!)
- easy bone breaking (Cherry said Andene isnt good enough)
- baby or toodlers are entitled to call me aunty
- and yes, some eyes raising if im still single
- What? What did I miss? Wrinkles??!!! NO WAY. Is there???!!!!

Yes. 20 doesnt only mean 20. 20 isnt just a number. It's a disaster. I told my mum that if they are going to celebrate birthday with me, they had to treat it like im celebrating my 16 years old birthday. I only wanna see 1 big candle and 6 small candles. I dont care if I need more breath to blow out the candles. I dont even care if I will be too breathless for other activities after blowing out the candels. I just want 16.

Im on mood swing today. Morning was fine until the time near lesson end. I shouldnt have emo. Today is Johnny's birthday. Being the leader of J.T fans club (I just knew I rank higher than wanyan today.), I should be the most high person. But I was like a person whose soul was sucked by a dementor.(from Harry Potter. Dementor is a sadist who like to inflict sadness and sucks people's happiness away.) Suddenly, I found all the reasons to be sad. Sad about how people who are friends can just ignore and act like they dunno you  at the corridor. Sad for Johnny about how possible his contract may not renew in September. Sad about how few friends I had from so many years of schooling. They just washed me like waves of grievance. Im drowned in sorrows.

Maybe this is part of ageing. Ageing makes people emo.

Note: Dont be affected by what I mentioned above. Life is still beautiful despite being old and feeble. Just dont knock onto me on the street. I didnt even drink Andene.

I been losing touch of chinese for so long that I had long forgotten how to write the chinese character for my titles. I used to be a Chinese Club member for 10 years (Primary + Secondary) and a Chinese Literature student, kay. It's so pathetic. I tried to search for the word from my dad's Wudi digital dictionary. That lousy dictionary searched so long also didnt give me my answer. Still dare to claim unravel. 

Anyway, after so long of slackness and no mood, I was suddenly refilled with the urge to study. I was totally lost during Transport tutorial today. Havent feel so unprepared and clueless for very long. I was suddenly very worried for the mid- sem test 2 weeks later. Plus, for the time being, I aim to be a studious nerd, doing tutorial after every lecture and read story book during free time. IM GOING TO SWITCH OFF COMPUTER AND DO MY TUTORIAL LATER! muahahaha. Dear fellow friends, Im suffering from a long name disease called pre- mid- semester- horrifying- kaisu-beyond belief- syndrome. It's all because of Transport Management. Following days, you may find an unknowing weird character with the face totally stuck to the table, sitting beside you during lecture. Worse still, you are not imagining things... 

Fear not. 

And do not start screaming and use your lecture notes to hit at it like hitting a cockroach.

It's me, your dear friend. muwahahahaaaaa...

PS: Im considering to add Mr Benson under my idol category. =P And Mr Tan is damn funny during APEL. It wouldnt be funny if I narrate it out here. You have to be there to enjoy his jokes. Once you start laughing, you wont want to stop. Oh, and three people are having birthday tomorrow!

Speaking about carnibal. I think this is the more direct.



Oh ya. And my anata flew to Hong Kong this morning. So good. 
Im stuck in Singapore for the whole year. 
They cancelled Taiwan trip again.
Bon voyage... ...

6:04 PM


I betrayed my animal friends on Saturday. I ate duck meat and pork. Im sorry. I didnt mean it. The uncle (my dad's friend) wanna eat so I can only comply. I didnt eat your bones, fats and skins though. That was my last respect to you guys. As memorial, I even took photos of you all.

A very meaty meal. I been going on an uncontrolled eating habits nowadays and im feeling very guilty and sinful. And I havent been to swimming. Anyway, the coffee shop where I became a carnibal and ate my fellowings is very dirty. Got lots and lots of flies and birds. Made this clean freak here terribly uncomfortable. To make the matters worse, the cleaning aunty accidentally splash a bit of the food remains on me when cleaning the table beside. I swear to make a lot money next time so that I can at least afford to go and dine at anywhere clean for every meal.

Saturday, I drove to Tampines Mall and back home with my dad as guide cum instructor.

Sunday, 1 weeks and 2 days after I just passed my driving test, I drove to Kallang Airport, bypassing expressway.

I had to admire my passengers' (my dad, mum and kaima) bravery to sit in my car. I offered to drive my brother to East Point to takeaway food. He.... He.... rejected my offer and decided to walk to and fro instead. Cause he doesnt wanna risk his life... But today, my mum and dad encouraged me to drive to pick up Kaima at Sims drive. This noob who hasnt exceed 40km/h during lesson, had to drive at 80km/h at expressway! Scare me to death la! The cars on the road like no government. They cut and change lane as and when they want. Plus every car drive so fastttt. My dad also like to give last minute instructions. 

I interviewed my mum and she expressed her horror when I almost knocked into the car beside me near Paya Lebar. The best is still Kaima. She was very confident in me. And encouraged me appropriately. My dad was the worst. He kept pointing my mistakes. Say until I no confident to drive. Especially after numerous attempts to park the car at my house carpark. Screw the driving centre's teaching! It's not practical at all. THERE'S NO FOUR POLES AT OUTSIDE PARKING! In the end, my dad had to park the car himself. But at least I brought everyone one piece back, didnt I???  

??? I did right... So dont blame me again...

5:25 PM


Even though we have been feigning ignorance, each and every one of us remember very clearly this joker's birthday is on the 20th May. I had a lot of difficulties not to remember. Because my best best friend, Professor Wong and my idol, Mr Johnny Tan shared the same birthday. 
To Wuliao: We did try to find bdae present for you. Both Celine and I feel that we like receiving presents than birthday meal (sorry, we are materialistic) so we thought we could get you one. But looking present for you is as equally hard as buying present for guys. Cause you dont makeup and not girly or fanciful. Hope that you are satisfied with the Swensen meal.

Swensen is deteriorating. Their services are damn bad. The gang who went to the meal (me, wuliao, celine, hp and cherry) were so disappointed that we feel the need to fill in their feedback form truthfully. They even misplace other's order to wuliao and took it away from her when they found out the mistakes. (shake head) She's the Bdae girl, kay!! The appropriate step is to get the kitchen to cook that dish again and fill in the mistake placement to the other table! Haiz. The foods also look amazingly contrast than their advertised picture. So we filled the form very negatively. I think the staff who saw it must have crushed, threw it away and tiam tiam(quietly) go back to work. Good thing they got promotion. Else I may pay unwillingly.

The shared Hawaiian Pizza
Wuliao's baked fish rice

My shoft shell crab pasta (salty but the gravy is nice)

It's suppose to be a beautiful day. I get to drive my dad's car to school. I get to eat my favourite chicken shredded scallop mee sua. But all was not well after I reached home.

For the whole afternoon, I waited for my student's call to see if there's any tuition today to make up for the topics that have not went through yesterday. Because I receive no call from him or his mother, I thought there's no tuition and went to look for presents. At 6:30p.m, when I reached home, they requested for tuition. So I bathed, skipped my dinner (I bath for 1 hour) and called him over for tuition at 7:30. His mum picked up the call.

I had never imagined his mum would tell me to tutor him 1 hour because he wanted to watch his show at 9pm. This is ridiculous! His exam is tomorrow, kay! And so, I reminded his mum that his exam is tomorrow. She thought she compromised and made it 1 and a half. At the background, that kid was arguing and he came over unwillingly. PLEASE LOR! I can dun tuition him and do my own work. It's not as if I like to see his stupid face and attitude very much. And how can aunty, as his mum, allow him to forsake his study for show?! This is a serious case of over doting.

The worst was at the back. For goodness sake. He forgot ALL his basic works! What the f***ing hell. He still dare to tell me Speed is km, Distance is Km/h!!! He dumb or what. Im so damn angry that I wanted to shout all vulgarities at him. Distance = Speed X Time. It's such a simple formula that even people like me who didnt touch this kind of Primary school maths for so long can remember. He got head block or what?! It's obvious that he didnt revise throughout the whole afternoon. When I asked him what he did since he came back at 9am plus, he still dare to argue that he came back at 10 plus. WOW! VERY LATE LEH. SO LATE THAT HE DOESNT HAS TIME TO REVISE! WTH! FOR 1 HOUR 45 MINS, WE JUST WENT THROUGH 3 QUESTIONS BECAUSE OF HIS F***ING HEAD BLOCK BRAIN. I decided not to care. I 1000% + guarantee chop that he will fail his test. If he doesnt, im going to be very disappointed. Because person like him doesnt DESERVE to pass.

I think time pass too fast. I hardly realise school started and now, we are facing mid semester test. It's too exaggerating. Are we on a video tape that is being fast forward? I thought I just celebrated Johnny day and it's Johnny day again today. Anyway, Johnny was being bullied again during class. I think my class is at their peak when they attend his lesson. They like to bully him and he will laugh along with us even though he was being ridiculed. 

Havent start project. This semester feels so wrong. I have no mood to study. The class doesnt seem to be a class either. Feels so empty. No cohesiveness. No fun. Feel a bit worse than my Year1 class even though I knew many in current class. 

Had tuition with that violent kid today. Starting was okay. He seemed attentive now that his maths exam is on Friday. But after an hour, he started to reveal his real self. He sang 今天你要嫁给我 horribly and fill the song with his own lyrics. Im like talking to the air while explaining his mistakes. And I think I exceeded my anger limit. I scolded him. Shouted like nobody business. Even his grandma next door heard me, I think. Cause she closed the door.But I feel so better after scolding. Think im bottling my anger too much. Feel so shuang when I shutted his mouth and made his eyes watery. I said; "Go ahead and sing again. Why arent you singing? I doesnt bother me anymore. Since THE EXAM IS YOUR BUSINESS. NOT MINE. IM SEEING HOW YOU FAIL THEM." And he glared at me. I glared back.

I wonder if Johnny is also bottling up his anger. I advise releasing them out. It really feels better.

Am I sounding like a psycho? I hope not.

I have been living in self denial since this blog had been created. For the first time in this 3 weeks, I finally realised it's time I trim my entry. Too long an entry will make one wear off easily just by reading. Starting from today, Im cutting my words short!!

Today is a boring day. Lao Leong's lecture is hypnotising us to sleep. I believe the whole lecture theatre, only 10% were listening, 50% chatting, 30% sleeping and another 10% doing silly things. I belong to the 10%. Because of my super crappy neighbours, I been wasting the whole lecture doing bo liao things. Miss Chloe, sitting directly below me, cruelly flinked my poor slipper to the floor. So I stole Miss Celine's slipper. Ended up that I wore two right foot slippers.

Saw my poor slipper that died below? I did try to save her but failed. Before I stated crapping and make this entry long, Im ending off. Today is a sleepy and crappy day. I WANNA SLEEP!

Time now is 8:45p.m. I should be watching Michelle and Shuan's wedding special. But my house is currently bombarded with too much nagging and loud reasonings that I didnt wanna hear. My uncle introduced my dad to that hospital. My dad complained to him that hospital cannot make it. My uncle, to prove that he didnt introduce wrongly, advertises and speaks for the hospital and doctor like they had paid him thousand and thousands of bucks for advertising.

No matter how my brother tried to intercede and reason with him in the viewpoint of my dad's, my uncle couldnt hear in. I know from the start he wouldnt listen. So I didnt even try. But it spoils my show. He had impossibly loud voice and amazing boasting ability. I kind of understand why my cousins always argued with him. For many times during the meal with him, I feel like arguing with him while he boast about a lot of his ... talents. Currently, he is boasting to my brother about how he managed to learn english from no english background. I pity my brother. On the surface, he said he wasnt angry with my dad. But it wasnt convincing at all. Cause he was very agitated and loud.

I try to maintain my viewpoint neutral. I fully understand his good intention about introducing some remedy to my father's illness. But this is going way out of the original intention. I have a feeling he wants to boast instead. Okay. Now he's boasting about him being able to make friend with anybody on the street. If you want a taste of this kind of bombarding, come to my house. Welcome, welcome. Goodbye to my show.....

Lady Luck bought three full days of good luck to me. During the three days, I had my license, my best Mother's day response, my Reborn rings and my pending Taiwan trip review.

But as sudden as she came, she left me on this day. The bad luck repelled full scale as it had been supressed for three days.

1) I woke up with three layers of eyelids.
2) I caught up with a bad flu. (I hope I have not been betrayed by my fellow animals being - birds and ducks are in the same family. Pigs are their good friends.)
3) I suspected my dad had been conned by the Chinese private hospital.
4) I almost had another tuition session with my strongly agitated neighbour student when I am still in sleepy sick mode. (My student needs to be put in anger management class. He seems to have some deep grudge with Mas Selamat and said that he will kill him one day. -roll eyes, shake head)

Anyway, it's not a good day. I want to emphasize on point 3 which angers me X 100.Because of my dad's partial hearing impair, he went to seek treatment from a Chinese hospital known as Sanjiu medicine. Just a few packets of medicine cost him $1700! $1700!!!!! What the &#$%*@! Me and my brother examined the receipt and couldnt tally them with the cost. The most we calculated was $500 plus. I seriously dunno where the rest of the $1000 plus went to.

Not that I mind the fees. If my dad can get well, it's most certainly the best case ever. Because this problem of his had been bothering for very long. But the worse case is he complained that the doctor wasnt sure about the treatment outcome himself!! What the *^$#*&$@! $1700! This is a serious case of unprofessionalism. I believed normal government hospital can charge lower and fare better than this hospital. Im real angry at the untally amount but my mum keep insisting that she knew what they were paying for. My dad is not so optimise about the treatment. He, like me and my brother, feels that the treatment is mediocre but the fees are better killer than any diseases.

If I hadnt been stopped by my mum, I would have sent emails to the company to demand for some explanations. To those cheaters out there (I certainly hope the hospital my parents went to wasnt one), if you think my parents are easy suckers, please consider your every actions. Because their daughter, me, isnt going to let things slide so easily. I make sure I call some newspaper reporters and have a cup or two coffees with them.

Warning: This is a super long entry that you might not want to read before rushing for lecture or work. 

As some of you might had already knew when I was still in the craze of happiness and mass sent messages for some sharing of joys, I had passed! Yes. You didnt see wrongly. I PASSED! Apparently the test instructor thinks that I am safe enough to be released out on the road even though I dont know how I did it. 

Miracle had happened! I had accumulated 16 points with no immediate failure. 

Incorrect braking/ jerky/ suddenly/ late/ very late          2 points
Fail to use appropriate gear                                                    2 points
Insufficient acceleration                                                          2 points
Insufficient acceleration                                                          2 points
Insufficient acceleration                                                          0 point
Require additional reverse                                                     0 point
Turning whilst vehicle is stationary                                      2 points
Roll backwards less than 1 metre                                          2 points
Fail to conform safety                                                              4 points
Total (lower than 20 points to pass)                                    16 points

As shown, I made a lot of mistakes but by luck, all these mistakes are only 2 points. And I dont understand why require additional reverse is 0 demerit point. I strongly believed it's luck. I happened to have a lenient test instructor who was (as I wish) in the mood for sleeping after lunch time and I happened to have an easy test route. Yiling didnt have as much luck as I did. I always believed we can pass together. =(

Anyway before I full scale elaborate the process, I wanna confess that I am a very kuku person. I took the car number 208 during warm up. By right, my test car was also 208. But maybe I was too nervous or my eyes corked like 100 stamps pasted over both eyes and specs, I took the 206 car. The poor owner of car 206 was frantically finding her test car when I was driving in her car, feeling something weird about the side mirrors and seat which I had adjusted during warm up. The worse thing is I didnt know even after I alighted the car. I didnt know until I took the paper to the office for some paper work to be done and the person informed me! He told me how the poor girl circling the car park lots and eventually took my car, 208. Fortunately, she passed. If not, I will be drowned in guilt for making her feel double nervous and performed badly. 

Anyway, like what I was saying. Im lucky. There was several other mistakes that I thought I had made but wasnt recorded by the instructor. And I had the easiest route I ever imagined. No U turn, no emergency brake and hardly any change lane for me. I luckily evaded all my weak points!! Initially, I thought I had failed because the test route was amazingly short. Thought that because I failed, the instructor took me back before I could drive anywhere else and dangered his life further. What's more, his face was all glum and serious all the way when we reached his office, he printed my paper, went through my mistakes one by one and pushed the paper to me. I could hardly believe that I passed! I dont know how the instructor controlled his expressions but even when I was all- smilings and thanked him for passing me, he could said congratulation in the same glum face. 

But that wasnt the point. The best part was to break the news to my family and friends. While waiting to watch some stupid video about conforming to safety on roads, I mass sent messages to my friends. And called my mum when I was waiting for my queue to obtain license.

Me: "Laoma.... (low pitch, grave and serious)"
Laoma: "What, you fail huh?"
Me: "Laoma........ (same pitch)"
Laoma: "I know you fail already lah. Wait so long then call. Plus you sound like that. (shout to my dad) She failed already. (Laopa from background: "Fail nevermind lah. Retake loh.")"
(I was controlling with laughter.)
Me: "Laoma.... (still sounds sad) I next time have to drive you to market. I passed....(burst out laughing)"
Laoma: "What??!! You dont bluff me lah. You pass or fail?"

Haiz. Okay. She rather believe that I fail rather than pass. After this small lie, I had to talk somemore to convince her that I really passed. I only realised that all the "You can do it" she told me were just lies to calm me down. In the end, she doesnt even believe whether I can do it or not. 

Anyway, I went to the supposedly celebration dinner which ended up with only me and Vanesa. Celine joined us when she heard we were feasting at Saycheese at Tampines 1. She also had to buy Mother's day present then. And so, having not eaten anything since morning 8am, I was feeling a bit dizzy from the lack of meal and constant messaging to reply the congrats received from friends. Finally, went to feast at 4 plus for dinner.
                                                    
                                                              My Baked Cheese Macaroni
                                                                Starter: Cheesy fries
                                                                        The Vege soup
                                                         Celine's Ocean Seafood Baked Rice
After the very cheesy meal, we went to scout for Mother's day present. I originally wanted to buy ring or Korean drama for mum. But I cancelled this plan until I saw this Memory pillow at TM Isetan. The sale aunty promoted the pillow until too well that I am convinced that my mum and dad needed one each. It can cure sleeping problems and stiff neck which is exactly what my parents were suffering from! Original price was $119. Now $45. So I bought two after some thinking. Celine bought one for her mum. The sale aunty even helped us wrapped for free. So nice. But my heartless brother didnt come to help carry this two big loads even though he was only in school. He wanted to meet his friends. Win loh. Friends > Sister. Thus, this poor girl had to carry two big loads and took MRT home. Her two "good" friends were laughing at her aunty-ness aura.  
Very good friends indeed. They even helped me took down my aunty photo. So nice, isnt they? And this aunty carried this two big loads from Tampines MRT -> Simei MRT and walked home. She even stupidly forgot to take off jacket and sweat all the way home. 

But Lady Luck shone on her again when she proudly presented the gift to her parents. I initially expected that she will scold me for wasting money, but amazingly, she loves this present! Can see that she was really happy by my passing and the present. It makes things worthwhile. 
(^ 0 ^) My dad also loves the present! He was very funny. He showed his support and slept on the pillow immediately after he unwrapped them.

Saturday, I went back to pray at Bugis with my parents. At night, I feasted again with my parents, that heartless brother and my Kaima at the same restaurant last week. I can 100% plus a guaranteed chop that the restaurant name was Sagar Restaurant. But because it's Vesak Day on Saturday, the price went double up. Total $100 plus. 

Only managed to take this photo because these few hungry people were gobbling foods real fast that they won over my camera. I wanted to take the photo of the toufu badly. It's green in colour, you know. (whine~~~)

After dinner, went to Iluma to shop. Since Kaima and heartless brother havent been before. And with some more luck, I FOUND THE ANIME- REBORN'S VONGOLA RINGS!!! We had been searching for it for a very very very long time!!! It's the full collection with a chain. Even though the ring size is way too big for me, me and heartless brother insisted on buying. Cost $38.90 but was paid by Kaima. We were supposed to give her present instead of the other way round. 

After sending Kaima home, I was even more determined to buy pillows for Kaima and Kaiye than before. They were considered as our parents too. I didnt buy on Friday because of the factor of my ability to carry four loads. Since I had helps, my dad drove us to buy them. Heartless brother finally found his heart and insisted on carrying the two loads back to car yesterday night. Hm. Considered him forgiven. =P

And we passed the presents to Kaima and Kaiya this morning. I still couldnt drive car because I didnt have the probation plate. Maybe I can considered hanging the hazard sign triangle on the car. It warned other drivers better than the normal triangle sign. Not to mention my families and friends, I also doubt my ability to drive car on road. I hit the curb while reversing my dad's car out yesterday and this morning. 

Lastly, just wanted to thank those who loaned me your luck. I really had a lot of luck these three days. Thank you and congratz for surviving till the end of this post. =D

MY DRIVING TEST IS TOMORROW!!!! AHHHHHHHH~~~~~~ This is so much sooner than I thought. There will only be two outcomes:

Pass or

Fail

...... Okay. Lame. But that's not the point. The point is I dunno whether im prepared or not. I cant imagine me failing. The test fees are so expensive. Plus I need to top up a few more lessons before the next test. Plus the PDL fees for driving on the road. A poor girl like me cant have so much money to fork out for these money- eating monsters.

Had my last revision lesson today. Luckily not the "confident" instructor. But it's the slack instructor. He everytime end the lesson early. Do you know I can spin a few more rounds with the amount of time? So expensive. I calculate for you to see.

100 mins = $60
1 min = $0.60
Therefore, when he released me early for 7 mins = $1.40
Tentatively, for 10 lessons = $1.40 X 10 = $14

Dont think it's cheap anymore, right. $14, I can buy a lot of things. Ehhh. I not aunty. Just some necessary calculation to not lose out. But today I accumulated.......

.....

12 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



and 2 immediate failures. zzzzzzz.... HOW CAN I PASS TOMORROW??!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......

To know whether this person with a duck transplant can pass her driving test, stay tune to quekquack channel.

PS: Hope that both test instructors for me and Yiling are not having a good sleep tonight so that they will be asleep and not alert most of the time during the test. (Pray Pray)

Johnny Day is Wanyan's newly formed term and I like it very much. Because today was practically flooded with Johnny. Johnny here, Johnny there. At least today's mood was so much better. No emo. Maybe it's due to the extra 2 hours sleep. Anyway, back to Johnny. Johnny is actually our tutor. Taught me for two years but only promote to one of my favourite teachers until recently. He used to be a normal, boring tutor. I used to not like his lesson. But I think he had self designed a quality system (term taught by Mrs Wee in QM today) and realised that he could improve to acheive Total Quality Management. But he didnt improve in the area of the subject he taught well. He probably didnt do some process chart because his lesson is still damn long. Not effective enough. (dun roll eyes at me. im so pathetic as to dig out my notes to find the term i wanna express.)

Anyway, I find that he had become so much humorous than before. Though the way he speaks doesnt change, he actually find the opportunity to squeeze in some jokes. And he is awfully patient and always kind looking. Perhaps kind people are easily being bullied, he doesnt has much stand in lesson and is always teased and laughed at by the students. Last week and today in class, Mr Kuku (undefined character) was very harsh. Made mocking jokes. Didnt like that very much. Can say im biased towards Johnny because he's now one of my favourite tutors.

My driving test is coming real soon. It's scheduled at this Friday. Im getting jittered as the day near. Yesterday's driving, I met the last instructor I ever want to meet before the test. I called him "confident" instructor because he likes to tell me to be confident. But totally opposite from the nick I gave, he always made me lose confident. First, he is very strict, giving out oppressing stress mood from every direction of his car. Second, he likes to use sarcastic tone. As if every people with common sense should know and people who dont are dumb. Third, he like to question why u made a particular mistake.

Like me, I forgot to signal when I turn left. And he asked non stop: Why didnt u signal? Do u know u have to signal? Do u realise u didnt signal? Im very curious to know what learners are thinking about. Why?

I KNOW I DIDNT SIGNAL. I FORGOT. FORGOT IS FORGOT. NO WHY. SO SIMPLE. DO U HAVE TO RUB ON MY MISTAKE? CANT U JUST HIGHLIGHT TO ME? IM SO PISSED OFF BY UR STUPID QUESTION!!!!! (breathe in.... calm....)

I hate him. There's one more revision lesson tomorrow before my test on Friday. I hope it's not him. (Pray hard) My family and friends have high hopes for me. They all want free rides. But im still not confident enough to say I CAN. Miss Holly told me to expect for the worst. Because if I expected the worst, if I fail it, I wont feel that bad. But if I pass, it will come as an amazing surprise. For her case, it always work the opposite effect. Im grateful for her sincere advice. Will try any method now. It's called last minute run buddha leg. Another friend successfully one time pass. (congratz) Now it's my turn. I hope some miracles work on me and Yiling so we can both pass and go for celebration dinner happily.

The Taiwan trip is confirmed..... to be cancelled.
-Emo-

2:17 PM


Everything started so wrong since Sunday night. I shouldnt had watched Titanic on the night before school, given that im such an emotional person. Had watched that movie once since very very long ago. Now that i rewatched it, I didnt want to forget it. It was so impactful, so sad, so heart wrenching that it sets me greiving and emo-ing until now.

They were so meant to be together. Though they were from two different worlds, they fitted so well together. Like a puzzle, either one lost is incomplete. One was rich, high class, elegant and spoilt. The other was poor, wild and fun. But the moment they meet, they could do so much to change for each other. Imagine the trip lasts only for a few days and they could no longer be separated from one and other.

I regretted forgetting such an impactful movie. The plot was good, chemistry was good, animation, song and music was good that I could hardly pinpoint any part wrong. Now I regretted i ever watched the "Movie in minutes". Spoilt the feeling cause I laughed at some points when I was reminded of the "Ohhh Jack, im flying..."



Almost cry out at disc 3. It's so sad to see the rich and poor treatment difference. The rich had all the priority. The poor trapped behind locked gates to prevent them from snatching the rich's life boats. Five scenes that stinged my eyes by controlling the flow of my tears:
1) The mum tucked two kids in the bed and told story to make them sleep while awaiting death arrive.
2) The two old couple hugged each other tightly on the bed, also, waiting for death.
3) An woman whom Rose saw on the deck, hung onto the railing and fell to death when the ship sinked vertically downward into the sea.
4) When Rose boarded the boat and looked at Jack with the what- seemed- to- be- the- last- look.
5) Of course, when Jack died.

At Monday morning 2am plus, after the movie, I soaked my pillow with tears with my brother snoring on his bed. I think my brother is a pig with no feeling. And on Monday 7am, i woke up with a groggy eyes with red veins circling the whites. Immersed with the story plot for the whole day, unable to concentrate in lessons. Worst still. I had gathering with my Primary school friends at 7pm with that stupid emo mood. Was so sorry to my Primary friends because im still on the Titanic ship most of the time during the gathering. They didnt notice, i supposed. Im capable of multi tasking. =P

But I was seriously glad that I went yesterday. So glad to find out they are still they, still the same, still so nice. I promise I prepared my feeling well for the next gathering. But I wanna keep emo-ing. At least just for one more day...

Ohhh. I just remembered one other thing I am emo-ing at. My Taiwan trip. The trip I so looked forward to... has high possibility of being cancelled. Because of the stupid pork flu.

Everything seemed so grey in colour. But hey, my blood was the only one with colour- red. niceeee... (emo, emo)

Saw this aunty at bugis performing today. After close observation, my dad told me she's a he. Meaning, she is not a she but is a he, not an aunty but and uncle, not a female but a male. Am I spelling it too specific? But I have to applause for her, no, his bravery to cross dress and perform on the street.

PS: I hate to squeeze with the crowd on a hot hot Sunday. And I hate my computer to teach me patience!!

7:19 PM


Im getting better at having the habit of taking photos. Took quite a number of photos today. Um, okay, yesterday (since it's 2am already. I think im becoming a weirdo who only starts blogging at 2am.) Yi Heng, the little boy whose grandma is the colleague of my mum at the mini mart downstair, came, visit and wracked havoc in my house. Because of this, I decided to put this culprit's photo up for some justice to be done.


He had a good time doodling on my whiteboard. I thought it's finally peace when he took the markers to doodle on my table, my tutorial and almost, my computer. Despite that, he's still very cute. I dote on him very much, kay. Because he grow fatter, I gave him a nickname today. Yuan Yuan.
He even likes this nick. My propaganda is so successful. I asked him what is his name, he replied Yuan Yuan Yi Heng. LOL.

Went Bedok again to meet Kaima. Gained some benefits from my mum because Kaima wanna treat laoma. Laoma's birthday is coming. So I earned one meal in restaurant. =P
This restaurant foods are really good. Plus the service is not bad. That aunty at the counter kept smiling until I wondered why she didnt feel cheek muscle ache.

Coconut drink

Sweet and sour fish slices (Cripsy)

Oat Sotong (Cripsy)

Sambal Kang Kong (again. I love it.)

Forgot the name. Should be what Golden claypot chicken. Very nice. I didnt even bother to pick out the chicken fats and skins.
Overall, the restaurant is a good recommendation. Argh. I forgot the name of the restaurant again. It's at Princess. Price very reasonable. Considering the number of dishes and three bowls of rice, it's only around $43. Plus my Kaima paid by nets. Got 10% discount. It's 9 hours since I eaten all these delicacies. Im hungry. WHY AM I CHOOSING SUCH TIMING TO UPLOAD FOOD PHOTOS!!! URGH.. I go sleep. Escape from my hunger to dreamland.

2:01 AM


Friday night
I was hoping to go chomp chomp eat. Had craving for BBQ fish and sambal kang kong while my dad craved for claypot fish. Finally met with consensus at Bedok Blk 511 hawker.


Just when i was almost done with my meal, I saw a fly in a suicide act.


I faster gulped down my sugarcane before the fly had a chance for its suicidal plan.

This fly got talent to be a stuntman. I didnt stay to see its fate (I didnt finsh the drink thoroughly). Though it's very bad, I didnt wish it survive. I dun like fly.
