When all is down, I know I have you at least.

The thought of it lits up everything, for I know you're there for me.

You think I'm pretty
Without any makeup on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down

Before you met me
I was a right but things
Were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine

Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance, until we die
You and I, will be young forever

You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

JB SUTERA TERROR MALL getaway~!

2012-01-01T14:24:00.003+08:00

A terror getaway to JB:

Here's how the story goes...

#1. Sutera mall is the last bus stop of "causeway link" bus service. Apparently, bus drivers over there are free to decide if they wanna skip that bus stop. Noobie shoppers like us were stranded! *the next bus stop is definitely not within walking distance*

#2. The timing for the "causeway link" bus service is actually outdated but it's still there!

#3. We rang the HQ up, but we were given empty promise that there will be a bus to fetch us at 7.40pm. We didn't know so we waited. We couldn't get a cab as no drivers want to squeeze 5 people into their cab.

#4. We went to KFC for dinner while waiting for 7.40pm to come. I dunno why.. but they are super duper slow in serving (as though the scene in front of me was in slow motion mode), trapped at the counter for 15 mins!

#5. Super pissed off that there ain't any bus picking us up. My sis bf called the supervisor and insisted him to come down and fetch us personally. lol.

#6. @ malaysia custom, i was held back for a while and the custom officer wrote "change passport/photo!!" on my passport. =.=

#7. @ singapore custom, my thumbprint couldn't get through and was sent to the immigration office without being informed of the reason why?!

#8. SUPER DUPER TIRED.

#9. In conclusion, I rather shop at pasir ris than to ever go there again! lol.

BUT!

lunch was nice and cheap. (:

the retarded things we do as seniors! part 4.

2012-01-01T14:24:00.001+08:00

meet. eat. crap. gossip.

Quan Ge + Daniel (aka augustine) + Tina Diva + Fiona~! = (a potent equation of laughter) LOL!

别再担心我什么了别把我宠坏

只要你平安回来就够浪漫

这几天没有你在当然有些平淡孤单

但我感谢这孤单

让我更加确定你是我缺少的那一半

完整我的那一半

不怕明天的世界会变成怎样

每天看见你笑脸我就心安

不管外面的世界想变成怎样

我们还有我们的小小天堂

我有你放在心上生命就有了重量

风来也不会飘荡

一起看海枯石烂一起等地老天荒

慢慢爱不慌不忙

2011-12-12T01:31:00.001+08:00

Nothing beats the privilege of being yours.

"How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

Watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow"

Honestly, I still can't believe that I've met you. I've never dared to dream that one day I will met someone so awesome like you, let alone someone who dotes on me so much. I'm so afraid that I'll lose you because you're everything that I've yearn for.

"Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours."

to my mr perfect.

2011-11-30T23:51:00.001+08:00

I think i've finally met you. Everything seems perfect ever since you turn up in my life.

What else could i say? What more could I ask for?

I LOVE YOU.

my beauty secrets

2011-11-23T14:57:00.001+08:00

Here are some of the cleansing and skin care products that I use:

From the left: 1. Biore Cleansing Gel (make up remover) - this is especially easy and quick to remove make up for lazy people as it acts like a facial wash, no cotton pad required. In fact, it cleans off make up effectively (based on my naked eye judgement). haha.

2. Garnier Gentle Clarifying Foam (Light) - i used to use this as my daily facial wash because it is cheap and long term usage really helps to lighten your skin tone and brighten up your skin, giving you a much radiant look. *bling* I'm not sure about the rest, but it definitely works on me as I really used to be a dark skin toned gal but no longer now!

3. Brightening Rice Water Cleaning Foam (from THE FACESHOP) - ok, i didn't ditch garnier product for this because garnier wasn't good. I switched to using this as my daily facial wash because i've real oily skin issue and that aforementioned garnier product isn't effective in combating that problem. This rice water cleaninsing foam not just helps in sebum control (sebum is the one responsible for the outbreak of pimples!) but also the brightening of the skin! （一石二鸟之计！）:D

4. My Beauty Dairy （我的美丽日记）- I haven't tried using this facial mask yet. But i've decided to give it a try because I've heard that it doesn't leave a sticky feel after u apply it. There are many different types of maks under this taiwan brand. It depends on what you want to work on for your skin. 1 box 10 mask sheet. I've chose to buy type Q10 which helps to improve the 弹力of your skin, make your skin firm and less saggy. lol. Actually, a lot of gals don't know that we should start combat aging skin once we hit 20! I think 1 week do 2 times will do?

5. Pore Minimizer_Controlling Tone with Powder (from THE FACESHOP), 6. Pore Minimizer_Controlling Emulsion (from THE FACESHOP) - Both products ($28.90 each) are effective in sebum control and hence preventing the outbreak of acne. As we all know, toner is essential as it helps tighten our pores after we wash our face, thus it prevents dirt from clogging our pores and hence preventing the growth of pimples. (If u are just as lazy as me, just use hands to tap the toner into your skin will do, dun need to use cotton pad though it would be cleaner. haha.)

7. Pore Minimizer_Controlling Clay Mask (from THE FACESHOP) - this was a free gift, haven't used it so ain't too sure about it's effects. But it says that it is a deep cleansing mask with clay and patent pore shrinking complex absorbs impurities and excess sebum to contol and clear pores.

P.S: Actually I'm still new to skin care products..haha. Only realised the importance of taking care of my skin until recently, so i'm not sure about how effective these products are, but I'll blog about them again. (:

The Grooming Process~!:

Let's start with the nails first! So here are my collection of nail colours. I usually prefer colours near to nude because they are more neutral and compatible for any events and easier for guys to accept. haha. However, I do try loud and fun colours at times, for instance the current trend of orange and the flirtatious purple.

The first 2 bottles from the left are "Sally Hansen" brand nail polish, erm.. i thought they are supposed to be good, but honestly, they curdle easily, giving you a hard time applying it on your nails.

The rest of the bottles are from "Etude House". I've to say, Etude House has pretty good nail polish, easy to apply and control. They are also cheap too, $6.90 per bottle which can last u for a pretty long time. Their nail polish remover are also cheap, it leaves your nails with a sweet scented smell. The 3 bottles at the right are a series together (ALOHA series). You've to match 3 colours together for a cocktail effect on your nails. (Don't worry, there're instructions at the back of the box. haha.)

Most importantly, buy a top coast and base coat for fuller and richer effect. I mean perfect nails. haha.

However, if you're too lazy and find the process too troublesome, you can head on to Citi Bella nail salon to get your express manicure done. It's only cost $6 to get your 10 nails done, inclusive of bathing and trimming services as well. Their workmanship are pretty good too. (:

Smelling fresh & looking good!

1. Liese Hairspray Cocktail - haha, it's not for u to drink, this is suppose to help tame your frizzy hair when u have a bad hair day. It is also effective in getting tangled hairs easier to comb. It also leave your hair with a fragrant scent. However, the taming of the frizzy hair part doesn't last long... that's 1 down side.

2. Japanese Cherry Blossom Perfume (from The Body Shop) - The scent is awesome! It's mild and not over-powering. (:

ALLURING EYES!

Now let's move on to the EYES! I wear maxi eye contact lens (monthly) for a bigger dilation of my pupils. It really helps to perk up your entire look. I usually wear the winsome brown version because it looks more natural. However, I found the gleaming green equally attarctive as well (there's one picture of me wearing that below). It is cheap, easy to wear and remove.

This is acuvue version of maxi eye contact lens (1 Day Acuvue Define) - Natural Shine. I stopped using it because firstly it's super expensive. Secondly, it does not suit everyone, it is more suitable for people with convex eyes. For me, my eyes surface are less convex, more flat, hence the lens kept slipping downwards, they couldn't stay in place, thus causing irritation. And their dilation effect isn't as big as Freshkon ones. Although acuvue has an extra layer to moisturize and protect your eyes from coming in contact with the colour pigment, the many layers makes it difficult for one to remove especially.

THE SECRET TO INSTANT BEAUTY - MAKE-UP!

Make up has this magical effect in making one look wayyyy much better! (That's only if u've master the techniques, otherwise....lol.)

Here are comestics products that I use:

Step 1: Apply Foundation Base. I bought mine from THE FACESHOP. I bought the green base one because green foundation base helps to reduce redness if you have acne scars. There are also many different colours, like purple, etc. I can't rmb what's the function of each colour but u should buy one that suits your condition. Approach the sales assistant for help!

Step 2: Apply Concealer.

Initially, I used Za Concealer. Though they could really cover your flaws perfectly but they feel heavy on your skin. Not good for skin in the long run.

So I switched to using THE FACESHOP Dual Concealer. It has both a stick concealer and liquid concealer in one product. They really feel super light on your skin, letting your skin breathe better. I use stick concealer to cover flaws on my face like acne scars. I use liquid concealer for under the eye area like dark eye circle. You can also buy a seprate stick concealer from THE FACESHOP if it runs out. However, their liquid concealer are not effective in covering dark eye circle.

So I switched to using Loreal True Match Concealer for my dark eye circles. I usually apply 2 layers to cover them. This brand is more effective in concealing my dark eye circles.

STEP 3: the super important role - FOUNDATION!

I only support and use Loreal products for FOUNDATION, because they are expertise in coming out foundation that suits asian skin tone. They give a much perfect finish look than any other off the shelves brand, as in a flawless look as if u ain't putting on any make up.

I used to use Loreal true match powder foundation. But it only gives u a matt look, and sometimes they look cakey when it curdles with the oil on your skin (esp for people with oily skin). The perfect finish it gives u does not last long for the day.

So I switched to using Loreal White Perfect Pearl. It has SPF 17++ and it also contains whitening foundation essence. The primary reason for why i'm currently using this is beacuse it has the "pearl" contents that gives u a glowy and radiant complexion unlike the powder form. So there isn't a need for you to apply any highlighter product. The brush is an additional benefit. However I don't use it, i prefer to even it out with my fingers as it is much easier to control. P.S: For oily skin user, there's 1 down side, although it gives u a glowy look, but your oily skin might make it even more shiny in a bad way...

BB cream are also good but only good for people who has no flaws on their skin. They do feel super duper light on the skin but they does not help in coverage at all as they are too light. At most they only help in brightening up your skin. Of course, they are more healthy for the skin than any other foundation products.

Step 4: Eye Shawdow

I ain't an expert in eye shadow yet. But I do take note of what colours are in the trend now. I usually follow korean natural look make up trend because it's more suitable for schooling day look. So i choose colours like peach, pink, brown and white.

Application: 1. The darkest colour (brown) are applied at the eyelid (if u have double eyeline, apply at the eyelid area that is near to your eye, not exceeding your double eyeline.)

2. Apply the next warmest colour (e.g. light brown) at your double eyeline to accentuate it.

3. Apply the thrid colour (often the peach or light pink for me) at eyelid area above your double eyeline. Brush it across the area where u can feel your eyeball. This colour gives your eye a healthy look.

4. Apply white colour eyeshadow at your brow bone and somewhere at the upper circumference of the pink area. White eyeshadow are used for highlighting purposes for a better definition of your eyes. More contrasting effect. (If you dun wanna a full make up look, u can skip this step.)

Sometimes I use this (stick eyeshadow) for step 3. Cos it easy to apply, just glide it along the area desired. It also gives a mild glittery effect for a more 3D look of your eye. (From The Faceshop)

If you realise, in each eyeshadow casing, they only give u 1 brush with 2 side for 4 colours!? Obviously, that's not enough and it's also not advisable to mix colours with the same brush cos it might lead to an undesirable effect. That's why u need to have a ready supply of cotton buds for step 3 & 4. (: Cotton buds can also help you when u need to remedy somewhere that went wrong (e.g. even out the colour when it's too dark).

Step 5: Eyeliner

After applying the eyeshadow, I use Za brown eye liner (middle one) to draw the eyeline of my eyes. I use this cause it's easier to control, not prone to smudging.

However, I use Maybelline gel eyeliner (right one plus bottle) for a winged eye effect. I usually draw winged eye because it helps to elongate the length of your eyes especially if u have small and droopy eyes. I use gel eyeliner for this because, winged eye needs more flexibility in applying and the brush could give it unlike the stick eyeliner. However, if your double eyeline is thick enough (the gap between your eyeline and the double eyeline), that means not near to 内双 kind of eyes, u can use the gel eyeliner all the way. But for me, I can't cos the my gap is pretty thin.

I also use KATE White Eyeliner (left one) on the inner corners of my eyes to make my eyes look more define. But if u do not want a lot of attention, or look too over, u can even it out with a cotton bud.

Step 6: Mascara

Before u apply mascara, u should curl your eye lashes first with an eye curler. (watch youtube video for how to curl)

Honestly, Maybelline has the BEST MASCARA. Initially, I used Maybelline Volume Express Mascara, it really gives u an increase in the density and volume of your peepers (eyelash)! Makes your eyes more defined and attractive. However, I've switched to using Maybelline THE MAGNUM VOLUME EXPRESS (their latest product) because it has less clump issue as compared to the first one, and besides giving volume and density, it also helps to make your eyelash longer. The special curl shape helps to curl your eyelash at an approriate angle, giving u a well spred out fan-like natural eyelash! :D

When applying, brush your eyelashes against a hard surface (e.g any unwanted name card) so that u wouldn't smudge your eyelid with mascara while u r applying it.

Sometimes I do wear fake eye lash if i want a more dramatic or stronger look. I prefer to use CANMAKE eyelash because it's looks more natural. As u can see from the picture, the top one looks fake while the bottom one looks lighter. They are many different types of eyelash under CANMAKE, it depends on how dense u want your eyelashes to be. Most importantly, u also need to have a good eyelash glue that helps to keep your falsies in place as you wouldn't want to worry if your falsies would fell out half way through your date..lol. I would recommend DUO eyelash adhesive (Clear white).

Step 7: Eyebrows

It is important to define your eyebrow because it really look weird when your eyes are more define than your brows. If u have thick eyebrow, I'll suggest you have it trim first...

I used to use Za Eyebrows liner but then the stick-like liner has no flexibility and the lines are too define, giving u a fake eyebrow look. That's why i switched to using Sponge Eyebrow from THE FACESHOP beacause the tip like structure gives a better control (easy to apply), powder eyebrow also gives a more natural eyebrow look. However, I would use cotton buds to even out the tone because sometimes appling too much might make your eyebrows look too harsh, and hence it makes one look fierce. lol.

I apply it in a straight line way, because straight eyebrows are from korean trend, it makes one look innocent unlike those arched brows which makes one look older (if u screw up) or someone who has 心计...haha. Arched brow are also difficult to master.

Step 8: Blusher

Blusher are very important in completing the look, u wouldn't want to look too pale with all the foundation and concealer piling up on your face. Blusher helps to give you a healthy look.

Initially, I used the cheek liquid stain from The Body Shop (top), it gives u a red natural blush. This suits peeps with whiter skin tone best, giving them a sweet look. However, for darker skin tone peeps like me, I choose to use coral (orange) colour based blusher because it gives us a more sporty and bronzed look. So I switched to the coral powder blusher from The Body Shop (right) (it comes with a mirror which is not of much use..haha), but i ditched using it because there are too much glitters in this product. It makes one look obvious that they are wearing make up esp when u wanna achieve a natural make up look. So right now, I'm using a cream based cheek stain blusher from Etude House (left), I choose a colour between watermelon and coral becos i wanna achieve both a sporty and sweet look. This colour is also in the trend now. Besides, cream based blusher are easier to control and apply on unlike liquid and powder form. But liquid stain still gives the most natural look.

Step 9: Highlighter

If you are already using a foundation that has a highlighting effect then there is no need for you to use a highlighter. If you're not, then it's advisable you end your make up with a highlighter. Highlighter helps to give your matt face a more 3D look, like those photo shoot effect. Basically, u light the areas that u want to define with a highlighter. I usually apply highlighter on my T zone to make my nose look sharper and my cheek bone for a slimer and model-like look. I don't apply a lot of highlighter because too much would make your face look oily. So a little will do. Cost saving as well. haha.

I've tried two highlighter products before. Both are equally good. The Body Shop Radiant Highlighter (left) and the Nymph Aura Volumer from THE FACESHOP (right). I've used that body shop small tube for like 2 years and I still haven't finish using it... The Body Shop Radiant Highlighter gives a pinkish and glittery effect while the Nymph Aura Volumer just gives u a shiny effect.

Step 10: Lipstick/ Lip Gloss/ Lip Stain/ Lip Balm

Ok, for this step, i usually skip. Firstly, I haven't found a colour that suit me (a wrong colour can make your whole face look worng! lol). Secondly, i dun like a sticky feel on my lips, esp when i know i m gonna eat when i m out.

I did bought a few lip stick (like the above one) but it didn't go well on me. The tangerine colour is the hottest korean trend now, so u can give it a try if it match you. Lip balm helps to moisturise your lips, suitable for people with dry lips. Generally lip products are suppose to give u more fuller lips.

But then again, lip stick/ gloss/ stain products works effectively on some people (esp those whiter skin tone peeps). For this step i can't give much details as I'm not too sure about lip products.

When you're out with make up!

Bring a oil blotter with you. Esp if u have oily skin, blot it so that your face won't look too oily. However, blotting is not good for skin. Only blot it if u have to.

Last but not least, u need to have a big enough make up pouch to store your make up.

Tips from Tina~!:

1. Go to youtube for make up tutorial to have an idea of how you could utilise these make up products for optimal effect.

2. Most of my aformentioned products could be purchased from Watson & THE FACESHOP.

3. If u wanna try out make up products, u can head on to ION ORCHARD SEPHORA store. There are different brand of counters there for you to try out. Free and easy. Most importantly, no pesky sales assistant to "harass" u! lol.

4. 1 important tip in applying make up: Always apply in upward motion, it helps to give your skin a lifted look and not saggy look, hence looking younger! But it clogs your pores easily, so at the end of the day u have to make sure your make up is cleanly cleared off your face. Repair/Take care of your skin with skin-care products.

5: I usually use my hands to apply make up other than eyeshadow. That explains for why u dun see any brush introduced. However, if u want to be more professional and hygienic, u can go ahead with the brushes. But do take note, there are different brushes for diff parts of the face.
6. I know you might be thinking it cost a bomb to buy all of the aforementioned products. But for make up, u can start off with a concealer, foundation and blusher first if u are tight on budget. The rest can wait... haha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some of my best make up looks over the years:

This is really random. While i was flipping through my album for my make up looks, i found a few cam whore photos of me while i was doing relief teaching.. haha. I think i look a bit different from then (18 years old), i tink i m aging.. lol.

He likes the real you:

You've got no make-up on and you're slobbed out on the sofa in an old pair of jogging pants and a T-shirt that probably used to be white. And he still says he fancies you like mad. Now that's a good sign.

Queen of Category A says...

2011-11-09T23:40:00.000+08:00

It's usually this case...

Category A: If you love someone to the extent of changing yourself for your loved one, it most probably means this relationship ain't reciprocal. Your loved one isn't into you, that's why you're changing yourself just to keep him/her by your side.

Category B: If you love someone, but you still don't find the need to change yourself for your loved one, then it could probably means:

1. You are not really into your loved one. :D (maybe you're that "loved one" in category A. lol)
OR
2. Your loved one loves you more than you do that he/she does not see a need for you to change. In other words, you are perfect to him/her. (:
OR
3. Both of you are a perfect match! *I think I heard wedding bells~!*

I'm sure everyone wanna meet someone who falls under category B, cause it's really tiring to be in category A...

I would like to dedicate this post to my bestie! Ok, a bit about us: We knew each other since K2, went to the same primary school and the same secondary school unknowingly! haha. So much of memories, so much of appreciation that words just can't describe them all. Thank you for being there for me when I needed help most. All in all, I would like to say, I'm glad to have you as my best friend. Cheerx to our everlasting friendship! (:

So, as for the day, I had a great time with Dorothy at Cathay! (seriously, I think that's one of the spot in s'pore where u can see many hot hunks. *slurps* lol.) We watched "What's your number?", had a shopping spree, & chilled out @ TCC! :D

free tiramisu! they forget to charge us for this! muhahaha

played coffee tarot too, it's pretty spot on...

on our shopping spree, we bought this marimo!

marimo (the cute little green thing) is found in a number of lakes in Japan. It is believed to bring good luck & love as a plant pet! it will grow! haha. i thought it was pretty interesting. (:

Last but not least, I would like to thank those peeps (you know who u r...haha) who were there for me when I was down. Now, the storm is over and I'm really ok. (:

2011-01-30T22:22:00.006+08:00

It's the fourth lesson today, the fourth japanese language lesson. I've to say I LOVE THE LESSON, THE CLASS, THE TEACHER & THE SCHOOL!! It's so much more enjoyable than my mundane but hectic uni life. I'm loving the language, I'm feeling so comfy in IKOMA language school. The teacher is patience, my classmates are nice, and so far so good, I'm even enjoying the homework and dictation every week!! haha.

Anyways, I came across Taylor Swift "Speak Now" album just today... I know I'm way behind time ever since it's release... but I still have got to say this album is one of the nicest album that I've ever enjoyed so far. Her songs and lyrics are just simply BEAUTIFUL.. I mean how many artiste could literally sing out the pent up emotions in our life just like spelling our life out. (:

"There I was again forcing laughter, faking smiles. Same old tired, lonely place. Walls of insincerity." - Taylor Swift "Enchanted"

Don't you felt the same sometimes? So much so that you felt better off to be left in desolation or even isolation. This thought has been recurring in me for as long as I know..my entire life, i guess.

Food for thought

If the world thinks that you are disposable,

then why should you be at their disposal?

A typical day in school with just me and my macbook air....

2011-01-05T14:50:00.002+08:00

Holidays are ending soon..sobx. But i'm glad that i did enjoy my holidays. Family outings, catching up with old friends, shopping, reading chunks of manga and watching loads of hong kong drama online.... and the list goes on....

2010's new year eve was actually a nice one too with my sis, her bf, and my bro. We played at decoder cafe for the earlier part of the day, went on to eat claypot rice.. next we headed on to my sis's bf house to play pictionary. Last but not least, we had countdown and fireworks viewing at the neigbourhood party. I didn't know pictionary could be that fun, decoder cafe was also a nice place to chill out too. (:

Well, a brand new year, a brand new resolutions. Many plans, and many aims for the future to come. One of which includes passing my JLPT. Yes, i'm taking japanese language class from this week onwards. Learning japanese language has been what i yearn for many many years... finally, i have made a move on it. Being bilingual isn't enough, I like being MULTI-LINGUAL. (:

I think i've left my blog quite dead for some time, i mean picture blogging isn't really "blogging" in some sense.. I do have intentions of shutting down this blog of mine too...since there are nothing much to update about my mundane life. i'm thinking about moving on to tumblr.. not to blog about my life but to do something different which i'm not disclosing it now. :D

Prawning!

2010-12-13T23:34:00.020+08:00

It has been quite some time since i last met rui min. Bishan prawning is quite a nice place to catch up with your friends, especially after a battling semester, you would really want to do something fun. haha. So we did prawning and shopping today, here are some pictures of the day:

(i reedemed this freebie after spending $120++ on shopping at amk hub today.. quite comfy. i mean the sofa.)

OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH, HEY! EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER~! NOW IS THE TIME TO PARTY~!

PHEW! Finally, a break after a battling semester!!

I've got tons of things waiting for me to do~! Such as, exploring my new macbook air (^-^), shopping, clubbing, watching movies, playing, sleeping.. blah, blah, blah...

In order to celebrate our survival over the battling semester, here some post-exam "exercise" we did...:

Anyways, I'm so $HAPPY$ that the government gave us $800 bonus! Next year would be 2 months worth of bonus = $2k ++ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (:

I want to relax, retreat and retire into my comfort zone.

I can't wait for the end of the torment.

No more projects. Please.

田馥甄我想我不会爱你

2010-11-05T21:34:00.002+08:00

你的呼吸还有你的声音

你的呼吸穿过身体
我来不及反应
你的声音躲在耳里让我生病
谢谢你给的让我沉迷
让我丢掉了姓名
在好奇的时候拉不住眼睛

我想我不会爱你这样下去
渺小的自尊都快要抛弃
我想我不会爱你只是也许

你的歇气散落一地
让我歇斯底里
靠得太近一不小心弄伤自己
谢谢你给的让我沉迷
让我捆住了自己
在迷路的时候舍不得离去

我想我不会爱你这样下去
渺小的至尊都快要抛弃
我想我不会恨你伤的痕迹
住在我心底变成了秘密
我想我不会爱你害怕失去
所以逞强的远远看着你
我想我不会恨你只是也许

I WANT THESE!

Long Champ Le Pilage

I've never wanted to own a branded bag until now. Not because of the brand, but because of the trend. I'm impressionable. Those cheapo bags that I've owned have suffered a long history of tragedies. It's time that they R.I.P, it's time for me to get a real durable bag.

NIE "vintage" HP laptop is "killing" me. I want a freakin MACBOOK! totally in love with it, aesthetically. :D

Dry Run:

Walked from bishan to potong pasir and then back to school (4.11am to 9am plus) for the night walk. For the first time in my life, I hoped so badly for someone to break my legs in the middle of the walk.. all the muscle aches and blisters were killing me.. haha.

Started off my day wif ntu deli aprecio club... (:

Ended my day with NTU RCHN first aid duty at ngee ann poly..

my piles of homework are still not done...

2010-09-13T20:53:00.004+08:00

gosh.. who said university life is much slacker than JC life?! My first week of school felt as though half of my life was exhausted away.

PROJECTS, ASSIGNMENTS, HOMEWORK & REVISION. I kinda felt my uni life revolves around these few.. I'm really tired.

Gosh! I just learnt that my course = class has only 12 people.. my life is so gonna be competitive..

Anyways, this video is really amusing. A true freak that would make you jaw drop.

CCA MANIA!

2010-09-07T21:06:00.003+08:00

I can't even believe it myself but I have officially 9 CCAs in university: deli aprecio club, korean culture society, german society, japanese appreciation club, visual arts society, investment interactive club, red cross humanitarian network, dancesport academy and AIESEC!

I know it sounds crazy but there isn't any of it that I'm not interested in. Well, that's uni life, i guess?

I really enjoyed myself at the CCA fair today, together with some of the new friends i made. (:

Anyways, my korean pri 6 tutee gave me this as my university enrolment gift:

I didn't know they have such practice in Korea. Koreans are so generous. (:

"MISS WOO! MISS WOO! HE BEAT ME!/ SHE STEAL MY ERASER!/ HOW TO DO THIS?!"

AAHH... THAT'S THE REPTITIVE NIGHTMARE THAT I'VE BEEN FACING DURING WORK.

Since student care isn't all abt teaching, disciplining them is also part of my job. What's more this student care centre is known for disciplining kids through "corporal punishment". However, I've yet to do that on the kids unless UNLESS I REALLY CAN'T TAHAN..!!!!!! hahax. At most, I've only flash the cane to tame those wild little creatures once in a while. :D

Doing, teaching and marking assessment book from morning till evening isn't an enjoyable process too. Teachers at student care are expected to teach all subjects from Pri 1 to Pri 6. I kinda felt retarded doing primary school work.. haha. P5 and P6 kids are really LAZY. The challenge lies in disciplining them or even getting them to do their work.

Some are really big fat LIARs. I usually don't handle them becos they would eventually get it from the principal aka "PRO GRANNY".. Her scoldings & whackings would first send thrills down your spine and next send you down on your knees. lolx.

Luckily, there's still some pinch of sweetness to my nightmare experiences. Yes, thx to the P1, P2 and P 3. There are generally obedient kids. Kids at this age are also easier to control. So they kinda of lessen my "pain" at work. hahax. Most importantly, they are SOooooo CUTE!!!! However, sometimes I would lose control of the class becos they are so small in size.. it's like a bunch of little kids scurrying up to you at one shot.

2010-06-28T21:18:00.002+08:00

YES!!! Finally, I just recieved my letter from RELC today.. I CLEARED MY EPT, MY LAST BARRIER! This spells the end of the wait. I'm officially IN!

Except.. Matriculation package is the only thing that i'm waiting for now... Argh.. why is N_E processing our applications so MUCH SLOWER than the other faculties.. =.=

Ok, and i'm once again employed just today.. it's a studentcare job that my friend intro me to. I dunno if this's a bad news or good news to me, it's a mixed feeling. erm..but the job environment kinda freak me out today. I'm really not anticipating my first day of job tmr becos the interview itself was like some kind of epic scene from some american comedy movie.

Imagine this:

You step into a studentcare centre that smell kinda weird with dead insects lying around. The place was crappy like a storeroom flooded with stacks of books. You see teacher canning and yelling at kids. Then you mistook the principal (an old granny) as some cleaner auntie in your mind, only to realise she's the principal when the interview commence. Next, her poka dots dress with hot pink inner wear kinda makes you feel like you just time travelled back to the 1980s. During the interview, a housefly came buzzing around. She took a butterfly net and attempts to catch the damn fly. She failed and she asked you to try catching it..(i'm like wtf*). She spent 1 hr 10 mins for the interview, with 90% of the time talking about her life and some really irrelevant stuffs. She breaks your attempt in asking questions like SEVERAL times and you'll never get the answer to your doubts even if she answered your question. She asked you to start marking the kids' work while the other tutor review my portfolio.. (hello!! i'm not even paid for doing this!). With all due respect to her, i still have to say her English was like rojak, her chinese (sth she's damn confident in) was like _!_

Everything was like a NIGHTMARE.

However, i decided to give it a try since such a job is hard to come by.. i mean a job that is just 5 mins walk away from ur house, a job that has flexi timing, a job that is willing to employ someone who can only work for less than 2 months. Yea.. it's gonna be a hard time, but i shall HANG ON (hopefully i can) since my savings are running low now.

Oh and the kids at there.. i hope they won't add on to my nightmares.

2010-06-25T00:33:00.004+08:00

I just realise the dress code for my 4 years of university life is gonna be like this....:

AHH....!!!!!! I just received a letter from MOE today:

OFFER OF A
(I) PLACE IN THE BA/BSc (EDUCATION) COURSE AT NIE, NTU; AND
(II) APPOINTMENT INTO THE EDUCATION SERVICE

I'M DAMN ELATED BECOS:

(1) "Payment of course fees would be made by MOE for the duration of the course (4 years)" - which means my parents don't have to fork out a single cent for my school fees!

(2) "You will be paid a salary of $1580 every month during the first two years of the BA/BSc (Education) cousre." - which means i need not worry about my living expenses!!

THIS COURSE IS SO GOOD but I need to serve a bond of 4 years..

Anyways, getting into NTU/NIE doesn't seems easy since they are so many barriers to get through!!

First was waiting for the interview letter which they only sent out by MOE in May (i was so sick of playing the waiting game!).

Second was waiting for the confirmation sms abt the outcome of the interview (i was so elated for a moment).

Third was sitting for the english proficiency test ($74 test!!).

Fourth was accepting the offer online via NTU.

Fifth was receiving the offer/appointment letter by MOE.

Sixth is going for a briefing by MOE on the 10th june.

Seventh is medical clearance.

Eighth is waiting for the results of my english proficiency test - this is freakin important, if i failed it the offer would be withdrawn.

Phew.. Basically, my heart was never at ease... waiting for the final outcome.. pls pls let me pass!!

Korean Pastry!

2010-05-29T14:43:00.003+08:00

My korean tutee ordered these from korean and gave it to me & my sis since we are his tutors. They are so generous. His mother always give us drinks or chocolates after tuition. These korean pastry tastes somewhat similar to traditional chinese and japanese pastry. Some actually tastes quite good.

2010-05-28T21:59:00.006+08:00

Parents Teacher Meeting

2010-05-27T20:22:00.002+08:00

Today has been a "happening" last day of work for me. Most of the parents I met at PTM today did not make an appointment with me initially so it was kinda of surprising for me. Generally, most mummy are of "tai tai" look. Rich & good-looking, some seriously dun look like their age. (they look young) The parents are really playing their part actively, most of them would pen down every single words that the teacher spewed out! One of the mummy i met is very nice & pretty, gorgeous pair of eyes!! hahax.

Free breakfast for teachers: you tiao, sandwiches and soya bean milk.
Free lunch for teachers (prepared by PSG): MAGNIFICENT! *no words could describe how grand the buffet is.*

So towards the end of the PTM, my dean told me this:

“你有做老师的脸。”

me: *jaw drop instantly*

one of my colleagues told me this:

"有些以为你不是刚从JC 毕业而是刚从大学毕业。。哈哈。”

me:

"所以我的长相很老？？哈哈。”

him:

“不是，只是长得比较成熟。。哈哈。”

but whatever it is, what they said was out of good intention. (:

Last day of work = I'm OFFICIALLY JOBLESS!

tmr is LAST DAY of work!

2010-05-26T17:49:00.004+08:00

Since tmr is my last day at ACS - indep, i thought of showing some appreciation to my colleagues who have helped me. They all seem pretty touched when i handed the ferrero rocher to them. i guess it is the most appropriate gift of appreciation in this case. (inexpensive as well. hahax.)

One typical scene:

teacher A: "So where are u heading to after this job?"

me: "Waiting for admission into NTU/NIE. Bachelor of Arts education (specialisation in Chinese)." (:

teacher A: "ARE U SURE U WANNA BE A TEACHER!!!!!!!!?????" (she was giving me this sceptical look like she was trying to save me from the "torment" of this career. hahax.)

me: lol. YA. [:

Many thx to:

- J Wong (she's a ZARA diva!) & Ong MH for being friendly and helpful,

- W Lai (i tink he's a very very very helpful colleague/ PCT and a great teacher!) - i still rmb how he discipline his class through his "butcher knife". lol.

- 杨老师 & 林老师 for their help over HCL matters.

That's abt it for the teachers. As for my students:

- 4.17: nth to say. (:

- 4.11: generally obedient but it's a pity, interaction was missing.

-4.16: generally obedient. I can be stress at times due to the existence of Chinese scholars. lol. I tink i feel more connected to my 4.16 PC group. They are more chatty. :D

- 4.14: The BEST Class! Woo~!

- 4.13 (ISO): ROX!! Super hilarious bunch of boys when put together. Every ISO lesson is like a form of entertainment to me. hahax. "Origami Black Belt". lol. u boys really live up to the oral defence comment, "For a last minute work, this was quite good."

So other than giving gifts, I have also received gifts from my colleague:

Oops.. Up till now I still couldn't figure out the name of this teacher. But whoever it is, thank you so much for being so generous.

Special thx to my Dean for employing me and the school for providing me with this opportunity to explore this career. ASC -indep is indeed a good school, I have learn alot from working at here.

All in all, it has been an enriching experience for me. This has got to be the most rewarding and the best job i ever had so far.

PJC's 9th College Day

2010-05-22T21:22:00.005+08:00

I went for college day today. I was totally surprise that i was the only one in my CCA who got the PJC leadership award since most of the CCA had their president and vice-presidents selected. So that means my president is... Anyways, i think i deserve this award for all the effort i put in..lol. So i would like to thx my teacher in-charge and my members for the recognition and support that they have given me during my term of office. (:

me & jasmine (she is damn hilarious!)

Today's award ceremony sparked me to pull out all my old trophies that i've attained during my schooling years. So here are some that i found:

Top: 2004 Red Cross Unit Best Recruitment Award, 2006 Best Cadet Award

Below: 2005 Red Cross Unit Best Cadet Award, 2010 PJC Leadership Award, 2009 Quest Friends of School Award, 2005 Red Cross Best in Footdrill Award

4.14 farewell.

2010-05-21T16:52:00.006+08:00

Many thanks to azriel, ming jie and ray for the farewell gifts unlike *cough*(glenn's trash).. hahax. I'm so touched.

Well-wraped gifts & well drawn cards. (:

So i shall make some farewell reviews abt 4.14 HCL students over here:

Though you boys can be quite a challenge to deal with, it was still a fun & fulfilling experience for me. Thx for all the "jokes" and for being crappy, because if not for you boys my stay at here would have been a mundane one. hahax. What a bunch of vivacious students!

So to my first and best batch of students: All the best in your future endeavours (ACE HCL O level paper too!). I have faith in you boys. The best is yet to be. Good luck! (;

That was a very "nice" farewell party huh.. thx ar 4.14.

REVAMP. Phase 1. (:

2010-05-17T21:54:00.010+08:00

Phew..I spent the whole day after work shopping for revamp concepts wif my sis at IKEA. Finally.. we have decided to stop procastinating and to ditch away that old & crappy look of our room. After viewing the various showroom at IKEA, we have decided to settle for a "cosy white" theme against our wooden floor with a pinch of compatible colours to it. Of course, this would also meant a burnt in my pocket (basically my second pay has to be sacrifice.. sobx.)

trying out.

budgeting.

concepts.

enhancement.

(I've always felt that hanging up such picture would really help to play up the effect.)

I actually thought this was for sale, initially. lol.

So we settled for dinner at the cafeteria in IKEA. Swedish cusine tastes awesome! Basically, i love all types of cusines (ranging from junkies to high end dishes). Ironically, my weight tells otherwise. hahax. I'm actually a "foodacholic". It's insane! I don't just enjoy eating, I enjoy watching almost all types of cooking programme. I can spent hours sitting infront of my cable tv watching different types of cooking show on Discovery Travel & Living (my favourite channel!). Love watching anything from pastry making to feast preparation in American, Mediterranean, Asia or even the Greek style. "Nigella Feast", "Take Home Chef by Curtis" and "Jamie Oliver" are a few of the notable ones. I liked the idea of how they could whip up a fabulous dish in just a few minutes. But the true enjoyment lies in putting what i learn into practice (cooking). (:

Food is the best comfort.

I met up with rui min yesterday at VivoCity. We had so much to update each other about. Well, mostly abt work, uni, etc. Really glad that both of us are happy wif our current life now. We ended up shopping for clothes. I was really elated to see River Island's SALE logo blinking to me! literally. There were several really fashion edgy pants. Sadly, I couldn't find my size. ): In the end, I decided to buy a top/blouse at a discounted price of $25 (U.P: $45).

It seems like the only thing that hasn't change since our JC years was "our mouth will never stop exercising." hahax. I still rmb how we could chit chat at school's cafe and even random places for several hours. So much of fun, so much of gossiping (lol.), so much of help, so much of appreciation, so much of memories. (:

A true friend, indeed.

All the best in whatever (including..rm knows wat i mean) we do. hahax.

This week of work has been real mundane due to the examination period. So I spent most of my time stuck in the staff room doing anything random. *yawn*

Today is the last day of exam, so there was this "makan" celebration at the old board room. Everyone had to pay 10 BUCKS for the catering. There was quite a lot of food but not all are tasty. So basically other than the invigilation duties i had to do, i spent most of my time today eating & eatinG & eatiNG & eatING & eaTING & eATING & EATING. (:

This durian pudding is the BEST! It taste as good as eating 1 good hearty meal of durians. (Special thx to J Wong for bringing these to school. (: )

Something random:

- I met the new teacher who would be teaching one of my HCL class in term 3. (Guess who's that lucky class?) He seems like a nice person, so this class should be in good hands.

- I got a call from PJC this morning that i attained the NYAA silver award. Finally.. it has been a long wait! Sadly, it's on weekday so i couldn't attend the ceremony. *-*

%#*^%@ my ipod touch hanged on me! so SUAY lah. ('^') Apple technology failed me!?

2010-05-06T17:34:00.007+08:00

I found a really cool app on itouch. It's called Sketch Book Xpress. It's a really useful tool esp for people who are in the art & design industry. Here are some random sketches that i made while playing out with the different features:

2010-05-06T17:16:00.003+08:00

OMG! I just received a letter from PJC. It wrote:

"We would like to congratulate you on your excellent ~~academic~~ (I dun tink so)and/or CCA performace of Class 2008/2009. We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded the PJC Leadership Award."

I seriously wondered why/how did i get this award. Was it becos:

(a) I was the Vice-Captain of Taekwondo Team (the CCA is slack so i dun tink my job was of much significance)

(b) of my active involvement in external CCA - Red Cross (I just go there once a week)

(c) I attained the Platinum award for my 178 hrs of community service (I didn't even noe i did 178 hrs of community service in the first place? O.o)

(d) I was the Service Learning Representative for my class? (quite insignificant?)

Ok, i couldn't tink of anymore reasons already. The answer to my doubt shall be revealed on the 22nd May. (I dread going back to PJC! - dun wanna c some teachers' *%#^%@ face.)

2010-05-01T21:50:00.013+08:00

I'm here, thinking of you.

We can try.

Let me show you all the things that we could do.

You are the only exception, my love.

If there could be one possible word to express what I have been through so far in this job, that would be "LOL."

Almost every other day i get tickled by different jokes (which didn't meant to be a joke in the first place). Let's see what i could remember:

1) Towards the end of my PC lesson, i chated with a few of the China students. We were talking about translation errors in China. So there was this shop selling nuts in China and the English name of the shop was "F*CK FRUIT". That's when i burst out in laughter and i couldn't stop giggling while i made my way back to the staff room.

2) There was this Chinese professor who made a speech during the Chinese Speech Competition, and he mentioned SUDONG BO (a famous person). However, he articulated as SOTONG BALL. LOL. The worst thing is I couldn't get this joke out of my mind. So i ended up giggling to myself throughout the event. ( ppl thought i went mad. hahax.)

3) THIS IS RIDCULOUSLY HILARIOUS! INSIDE JOKE coupled with today "incident" on bus. My 4.13 ISO grp, i'm sure u noe what i meant. I won't be mentioning the details. Pardon me if u see me LOL when i c u guys (esp someone). I'm sorry but I really can't control. At best, i could only do this:

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-04-25T00:25:00.003+08:00

"AMAZING ABS". That was what caught my attention as i fliped through the pages of seventeen. Yes! THX for featuring this article SEVENTEEN! I'm so gonna do these exercises, I've been yearning for my fabulous abs to pop out. lol.

Anyways, I've scanned this article for the interest of those who would like to have amazing abs too. hahax.

why aren't there articles on "HOW TO GET FAT FAST." I need them badly.

my fabulous weekend movie marathon!

2010-04-03T21:07:00.011+08:00

Yes! Finally a long weekend for my "beauty sleep"! hahax. Having to wake up at 5am every morning is such a chore. I have been really busy and exhausted ever since I started teaching. I just miss my holiday life..

ok, so I spent my good friday's night out with my family watching a movie called "越光宝盒" (Just another pandora box). If you are searching for a movie for just a really good laugh, then this would be it. It's so funny that it tickles you throughout the entire movie.

As for today, I watched 3 really good action packed movies:

1) 錦衣衛 (14 Blades)

2) 十月圍城

3) 江山美人

After watching these movies, I felt like fighting with everyone. lolx. Anyways, the main point isn't this, it's 甄子丹 (Donnie Yen)! He's in all of this 3 movies that i watched. He is actually the guy who acted in IP MAN. Ok, he is just damn hot, damn cool, damn sexy, damn alluring and damn it, he is just dead drop GORGEOUS! He just got those killer moves that captivates his audience. I can't wait to see IP MAN 2! lolx, i tink sound man crazy over here, but he is really just the MAN!

2010-03-25T21:08:00.003+08:00

I've been very very very very very very busy for this week. Phew..being a teacher isn't exactly as easy as i thought it was. Other than teaching there's so much things to handle like admin stuffs, rules to adhere to, piles of markings to be done, this and that, blah blah blah. I didn't know i had to teach ISO (sth like project work) until the first day i reported for work. As an assistant form teacher I also had to conduct contact time session wif my class which i knew NOTHING about it until the session came. Throughout this week, i have learnt that I had to be independent in the working world, no one would be there to spoon feed u. Haiz.. i'm still too young to adapt to such changes! My work attire is one BIG PROBLEM for me. It's costing me a $BOMB$.

Anyways, the system of this school very different from most of the school. E.g. they recite their plegde in 4 different language every other day. (lol, culture shock.) Maybe it's because it's an "elite" school. But i have to admit the students are really smart and they are not problematic kids. k, i shall not write too much about what i experience, dun wanna get shoot/ complained for blogging about my work in their school.
