zoo~

2008-06-15T18:21:00.007+08:00

sat, 14th June

went to the zoo with meh, tur and claire. it's been many years since anyone of us visited the zoo, so we were quite lost as to where to go after entering (and we forgot to take a map too). the first animal we saw is the otter,

then the flammingos. then, we passed by the orang utan, walk.... and passed by the orang utan again and again... and we found the polar bears that tur was looking for.

we also saw....... the white tiger and the pygmy hippo

and finally we found the penguins!!!

refreshing trip...

swimming

2008-06-13T12:30:00.000+08:00

went swimming with kelyn, ah le and ah lun yesterday. 2nd time swimming in the holiday. swimming is nice because u gt to immense urself in the cool water. the muscle aches just seem to disappear (as long as u dun swim to hard) and i guess it can be more comfortable than sleeping if we can just breathe in water.

the lazy river was closed. that's good. the water is dirty and polluted. it's time for them to wash and purify it. after swimming, we stuffed ourselves at KFC, cos we were really hungry. and since we were so bloated, we decided to take a walk at IMM to aid digestion. but then, we saw this chocolate fondue and ah le wanted to eat it. in the end, we decided to eat it. ok, its delicious, and the 5 small scroops of ice-creams were very tasty too.

bbq

2008-06-13T12:14:00.000+08:00

went bbq with the friends from DMC on tues night. A simple bbq set-up but the food was delicious and it was quite fun. we cleaned up the place really quickly and neatly after all the eating. it's been 2 years since we graduated from sec sch and i think it's really great that we still can have regular meet ups and outings together even we are in different schools now. it always takes effort, time and heart to make an outing work.

after bbqing, we went up to hg's hse and played black-jack. this is " poo-ku", hg's dog. it's really thin and bony(can feel his rib cage). it is very guai and friendly too. we stroked, tickled it, and it didnt mind at all. it even lie down elegantly and quietly when we played black-jack.

looking foward to the next outing with them.

the jetty

2008-06-07T00:06:00.000+08:00

unlike most people, i tend to remember the dreams i had when i was sleeping. Some stressful, some ridiculous, few scary ones. but, i had a terrible nightmare yesterday. it was so realistic and painful that i started crying, and continued to cry uncontrollably even after i woke up.

i saw a jetty. it was that fateful time. everyone gathered at the jetty, waiting for the death-gods. no one knew who amongst us is already dead, who has fallen victim to the epidemic or disaster. only the death-gods know, and the fear is that they are here to bring away someone you love. i stood there, waiting. it can't be someone i know. but, that person i know, that person whom i treasure so much started to fade off. i then knew that that person is going to leave, to disappear, but i couldn't stop that person from leaving. i started to cry, i held onto that person tightly......

i never knew that person meant so much to me. did this dream helped me to realise that? i am thankful that it was just a dream, a very real dream.

what are yours dreams?

2008-06-06T23:25:00.000+08:00

i want to share this story. A story which means a lot, but is almost always forgotten by everyone.

one day, alpha and beta were both admitted to the hospital for checkup. while waiting for the checkup results, both of them chatted.

alpha: in my whole life, i have many dreams. some are fulfilled, but many are not. if i am diagnosed with cancer, i plan to use my last remaining years to fulfill my dreams. the first thing i want to do is to travel to pompeii to see the ruins, to take a boat down the changjiang in china, to spend a winter in harbin......

and the list goes on, a total of 27 items. Beta, who was beside, also had the same plan as alpha. when the results were out, Alpha, unfortunately, had cancer, while Beta had only contracted some minor virus. that very year, Alpha quited his high-paying job and set out to achieve his dreams, while Beta dicharged and returned to his usual life.

2 years later, Beta thought of Alpha and called him to ask about his health condition.

Alpha: if not for this illness, i would not have realised how much time i have been wasting. in this 2 years, i have travelled to many countries, completed my ph.D, and am preparing to publish my first book.

on the other hand, Beta, who was not diagnosed with cancer, had long forgotton his plan to fulfill his own dreams.

Most people are just like Beta. we never realise how little time we have and how much regrets we bring with us when we die. we think we have a lot of time, but we never realise that life is actually shorter than we think. hope that this short story could constantly remind us that time is much too precious to waste.

watching twssg

2008-06-04T14:33:00.001+08:00

second week into holidays and i know i have wasted a lot of time.

Recently finished watching "twssg". thought that it was a really good show. aside from the good looking cast, nice theme songs, and fanastic effects, i really like the plot. the legend is sad but beautiful. 凄美的爱情故事。

I especially like the character sujini, the kind that is likeable by all, i believe. this role is played by Ejiah, a new korean actress who rose to fame due to twssg. i must say her acting is good and she really pretty. what i also appreciated was that she has set up a very pretty website for her fans, showing many of her videos, photos, and news. it even had a short comic inside. It's a pity that many non-koreans like me won't be unable to read what's on the website because most of them are in korean. hope that those will written in english in future, or i would have to learn korean in order to understand.

Dare To Dream

2007-11-01T23:15:00.000+08:00

Today is the OP. it turned out to be fine, we r satisfied with ourselves. Glad that the Q&A went well for our group. No more PW next year, yay! PW group went to vivo to watch stardust (sci-fiction romance) after the OP, n the movie was really nice. so what is the movie trying to convey? To me, it's "dare to dream", "learn to love", n "be imaginative". It is important that everyone of us have a dream and more importantly that we hold on to it. as the old saying goes "人因为梦想而伟大".

moments to remember forever

2007-10-26T22:39:00.000+08:00

today is our last day of school for JC1, and also our last lesson with Ms Lee. We had planned a surprise for her with the video we did and the song we learnt. And as we had expected, we made her cry, though most of us were also crying. Even as i type now, my eyes are tearing up. Such a great teacher, one who made an impact in us for the past one year. We would definitely miss her very, very much. In the past lessons, she would often screen us movies, today, we made a video for her. In the past lessons, she would entertain us with her humourous tone, today, we gave her a surprise to make her laugh. today, she gave us a long advice on choosing our route for the future. we will remember it. We took lots of beautiful photos, each trying hard to hold back their tears. We gave her the last file, ate dao huay together again.

For everything you have done for us,

Thank you

千千万万的不舍。。。。。。。。。也改不了人世间的悲欢离合

我是冷血动物

unfound anger

2007-10-19T19:59:00.000+08:00

perhaps it is true after all..most people don't think of writing anything when they are happy. writing is for unhappiness..recently, i found myself being irritated at the slightly things...and sometimes even at nothing. so my mummy asked:" so why are you angry?"

"nothing" i thought. well, from the look on her face, i know she didn't believe that...
But seriously, i really don't know.

if you insist in getting a definite answer, then perhaps the reason is sleep. Maybe i really need more sleep. " are you sure you get angry just because you lack sleep?" i asked myself.
Hmm...i think not jut that then.

Alright, then i shall use this space to express all displeasure!

first and foremost, the terrible PW. i just don't understand how a project has became such a chore. for you people who thinks you love projects, think twice. PW is definitely different from what you had come across before. i believe this is one of the projects which makes you realise that planning anything in this world is not easy. this is the first time i had to gather so much information about my project, realising that i need to analyse and evaluate whatever i had done.
Not forgetting the drafts we had done. But it is just so depressing to see that others have done so much better than me despite the efforts put in..

Going through easy, easy, easy maths questions is something i hate too. it makes me feel silly. i guess i just don't have that patience. and since i have been so unhappy about it, i decided to stop.

The kind of lessons are also becoming "not my cup of tea". the ones i dread increases whilst the ones i like reduced. this is seriously not the kind of style i want. but nevertheless, i can't do anything about it. So, i keeping moaning and grumbling...i know this is useless, but at least i can complain.

the rest comes from some unknown spiritual field which affected my mood.

O_o"

i just felt like giving some "eye colour" to people.. *ouch!

maybe a long massage can ease my moods.

*i m totally toking craps

THE PROMOS

2007-09-22T18:15:00.000+08:00

PROMOS STARTED. With GP kicking the start, a whole series of papers follow... even a very thick rubber band is starting to wear out, just like i am getting burn out..however, i still hope i can do well for promos, so that i am in a better position to ask for more.

天真与无知 ~

2007-09-14T22:56:00.000+08:00

在这复杂的社会中，一个人的思想越天真，他就越吃亏。可是，他也同时拥有了希望。

老师说：凡事都有利与弊，就像一把刀不可能两头利。一个天真的人总是往好的一面看。

假设有个人需要挤进一个窄小的空间 ---- 普通的人会说：“这么小怎么挤得进？；天真的人会说：还有位，一定可以挤进去。
在这复杂的社会里，天真能给一个人力量，希望。即使环境再差，他还是看得到希望。在某个记录片中，有这么一个问题：是什么元素造就了一部成功的电影？在场所有知名的导演和演员就这么回答：“是信念”。如果当别人告诉你你会失败时，你决定放弃，那你就注定要失败。因为，你不再抱有希望。可是，如果当别人告诉你你会失败时，你坚持自己的信念，熬过来，那你总有成功的一天。在茫茫人海中如何才能成功？就是当每个人都放弃时，而你坚持着，到最后成功的就是你。真正成功的人是那些在遇到挫折时也从不放弃的人。
因此，如果有一天每个人都叫你放弃，告诉你你一定会失败时，只要你相信自己是对的，坚持自己的信念，你总有成功的一天。
