Momo Love

Ever since I caught 桃花小妹 on Channel U the other day [my mom was watching and I caught a glimpse] i've been catching it on Youtube. Unlike those days where i'll rush to buy the DVDs before they even come out on TV. I find the show quite silly on the whole but retardedly funny.

Ding Chun Cheng is cute ;) The nerdy kind of cute. I actually like him only with the glasses on. He's 1.9m. Wow.

...Yeah. But anyway I like the show partly because i've always wanted older brothers [I actually don't give a damn about the love story part lol]. That's pretty much what captivated me. I've even imagined what it was like to have a bunch of older brothers around. Whoever guesses who these imaginary 4 people are get a virtual high-five.

Only one person knows for sure. Lol. But aiyah that was super super long ago.

Kay. Off to catch more of the show.

-

Lol the brothers' antics are damn funny.

-

5:54 - OMG PUPPY EYES!!! Followed by Yuyi's damn funny reaction lulz.

Okay i'm at episode 7 and i'm sick of the storyline already. I'm still gonna continue watching, but only to look at the hot guys.

Peekaboo.

A Walk Into Memory Studio

So I got my new laptop yesterday, right? I can finally watch videos and listen to music without any lag. Dug up some of those old dance videos [the ones that we took after class] to watch.

I can't help smiling/laughing while watching them. Even now. I notice that in most videos, after we finish doing the choreo, we'll start laughing. Heh. It's nice. I'm really glad that it was such an enjoyable experience then :)

From what I see in Yunning's blog, I think i'm not the only one who prefers to remember the studio as it was last time.

Hello.

So here I am, posting with my new Lenovo notebook [yeah China brand, whatever]. The result of my phailed reformatting yesterday. I find it really sudden. Within 24 hours I had a perfectly working laptop, then upon reformatting an error turned up that I couldn't even fix, and then I went to buy a new laptop.

But yeah. I guess this one's better somehow. The specs are much better of course. I didn't spend as much as I did on my previous laptop, but I forked out the money for this one entirely on my own.

Don't expect too much this Christmas =/

Felt really productive since the end of exams. On the last day of my exams, I didn't even go back home to sleep immediately after the paper. KS came over to accompany me. Yesterday and today [or the day before and yesterday] I went to SITEX. And did a whole bunch of other stuff. Ah, feels good.

Gotta study for diving! Soon. For now, bed.

O Christmas Trees

I'm intending to go around Singapore and take pictures of one of my toys in front of all the Christmas trees I can find.

Anyone wants to join me? :)

Edit: If more people are interested we could make a blog of all the Christmas trees we can find. But chances are -.-

Flourish flourish flourish all night :)

WOOHOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Haven't done this smiley in ages. JSI used to call it the hamburger. Heh. It's a two-way smiley.

So on one hand, I hear stories of people who wouldn't even share a single piece of information about their project. I don't know who they are, but boy am I glad I haven't met anyone like this.

On the other hand, i've had several people offer to send me their cheat sheets for tax tomorrow. Offer, as in, I didn't even have to ask if I could borrow their cheat sheets. They asked if i've done up mine, and when I say no, they offer to send theirs to me.

After a year and a half of walking around school alone - a result of having a whole bunch of acquaintances but no close friends/clique to hang out with - this comes as a really nice surprise. Thank you :)

Yes.

Gave in to temptation...

...And opened a red bicycle rider back. The last deck lasted me exactly a month. I didn't realise until I was gonna write the date on the box.

Feels like i'll get a papercut.

'Nother.

Today, I watched Digimon videos on Youtube instead of studying. This has happened since my friend sent me the Digimon theme song several days ago. MLIAA

Unfortunately most of the videos have disabled embedding, but anyway.

MetalGarurumon!

Random photos out of my shitty phone camera.

Portfolio diversification.

:D

Another MLIAA.

Today, I set my Facebook homepage to ‘News Feed’ so I can pull up ‘Live Feed’ when i’m bored, and instantaneously have more updates to read. MLIAA

If i had known another of my stories would be posted, immediately after the last time i checked, i would've stayed like 15 minutes longer.

Starting off the day with FishVille and flourishing.

My favourite boyband again.

Can't remember if i've posted this one before. It's one of my favourites. Both the song and the version. The cute kid singing the 'salva's is Joe Snelling, who's sadly already left Libera.

I'm sorry and thank you.

Dumdum.

After I showed KS the personality test [refer to below] I took yesterday, he wanted to try it too. The first question was something along the lines of 'if your friends ask you out after a long week, what would you do?'

Choice 1: Stay at home and decompress, ...

He read out loud, "Stay at home and decompose..."

"Yeah, sure, if you wanna stay at home and decompose that's fine with me too."

-

I studied for half an hour, then Housed + flourished + blogged + other random stuff for an hour.

I've been wanting to open a new deck for ages, but i didn't want to do so until after my exams [as if i'm not distracted enough as it is]. So i took my brother's hardly-used Guardian deck. Problem solved.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

ISFP - The Artist

You are a very special individual that needs to have a career that is more than just a job. You will not be fulfilled in a routine job that does not hold special meaning you. Therefore you should seek opportunities based on interests you have passion for and areas of work that meet your inner beliefs.

You need an environment where you can be free to follow your natural tendencies and therefore structured corporate environments will not suit you well. Many major artists have been ISFPs.

Some of your personality traits include:
* Keen awareness of their environment
* Live in the present moment - "Live."
* Enjoy a slower pace - you like to take time to savor the present moment - As above.
* Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless you see a practical application
* Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to you - "Love."
* Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow - Not entirely true, I like to lead, but I don't force it.
* Take things seriously, although you frequently appear not to.
* Special bond with children and animals - Not sure about children, but animals yes :)
* Quiet and reserved, except with people you know extremely well - Very true.
* Trusting, sensitive, and kind - Not sure about trusting, but I do hope the other two are true.
* Service-oriented; you're driven to help others - Explains all the volunteering?
* Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty - Hmmm kinda. The boyfriend never understands.
* Likely to be original and unconventional - Yeah I hate to be the same as others. Most of the people I know are also like that, though.
* Learn best with hands-on training
* Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens - Not entirely true. I like structure.
* Need space and freedom to do things your own way - Burger King: Have it your way.
* Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary - Explains my job.

Some of your suggested careers are:
* Artist - That why I said...
* Musician / Composer - ...I should've been in ADM...
* Designer - ...when my Comms tutor asked about all my arty interests.
* Child Care / Early Childhood Development
* Social Worker / Counselor - I've been saying I wanted to go into this.
* Teacher - I can't teach, unfortunately.
* Psychologist - Would like to, but can't deal with the maths side of it.
* Veterinarian - Wanted to be one when I was a kid.
* Forest Ranger - Awesome, if only we had such stuff. I wanted to volunteer for NParks that time.
* Pediatrician

That's funny. I used to get INFP/ENFP. But this is true to quite a large extent. My previous results from other personality tests usually apply to my circumstance/situation at that point in time. This particular one has mentioned traits/things that applied to me since I was a kid.

Therefore i'm in the wrong profession.

I'll never get down to studying.

If you know me, you'll know that i usually get into the Christmas spirit really early. If you don't know me, my blog background has been like this throughout the year, so there's a hint.

So while studying attempting to study, i came across this song, and i really liked it. [Yes i use serial commas, get over it.] I'm hoping someone will choreo to this and we can make a Soul Funky christmas greeting for this year that's more exciting than last year's picture. Which i actually made during my festive craze before the actual Christmas.

No i have not ever been and am not a fan of N Sync. This song just stood out from all the traditional Christmas songs.

Finally.

Brain has finally stopped using my wireless to download stuff, so we can all get on the internet. The two bros [Brain & Quil] are over at my place to study, which is a good way to keep me occupied while there's no one else at home.

:)

P.S.: Sooo tempted to open a new deck.

-

Edit:

I'm glad to have a bunch of friends that i'm so comfortable with. Thanks bros for keeping me company and making me feel less lonely.

I'm afraid of even leaving my room, in case when i come back, everything turns out to be a dream and you guys aren't here anymore.

Today, I figured that the stories I submitted several days ago will never be published, so I submitted another one. MLIAA

My first & second MLIAA post.

Guess who won?

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la Casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

Win.

Solitude.

Sometimes you just gotta get used to things you hate.

I wanna do everything but study.

:D

The night before, after dinner with his family, KS randomly suggested that we should go to Pulau Ubin.

So the next morning we found ourselves on the boat, on the way there.

Went to Chek Jawa as usual. Had to take a longer route because the usual one was blocked up. Then we explored the rest of the island, which we don't usually do. By the end of the whole thing, we were both freaking exhausted.

Came back, showered, napped.

Did nothing else. Oh, I mapled.

Good Sunday.

Decisions.

I can't remember if i've posted this before.

"A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use, while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track; the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

-

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was a rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.

This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how far-sighted and knowledgeable the minority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track!

Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one. 'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils."

It was like talking to my reflection.

After Soul Funky informal training today, which I happened to drop by because I had a quiz before that [won't be in school otherwise], I took the train back with Yuan Bin and a junior girl.

It was only a short while, but within that time, I realised how alike we were. Every single thing that she said, I had said before, either in a rant in my blog, or to someone. She felt exactly how I felt.

Now I feel less alone.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

You know Christmas is coming when you see all the shopping malls decorated with Christmas trees and stuff.

I can feel it. It's the only festive season that I get so excited about. Even though it's summer all year round.

I've even got all the Santa hats ready.

Each time Christmas is near, I feel like playing Maplestory, for Happyville. Which sucks, because exams are around this period too. As at this moment, i'm listening to my brother level up on a private server and i'm jealous.

Christmas please don't be late. [Exams please hurry up and finish.]
