going home soon!!
I had a really bad stomach cramp yesterday nite..went to sleep at 1am..and was awake at 1.35am cause my stomach hurt sooooo much!!
ran to the toilet, but all that came out was only air... and can hear the air gurgling in my stomach.... sat in the toilet for about 15mins... then went back to sleep... cramp again and ran to the toilet... this happened for 3-4 times... but only air came out... and felt that i was going to faint in the toilet soon...plus dizzy, and nauseous...
decided to make warm Nestum to soothe my empty stomach.... took the black pill for stomachache and rub medicated oil on my stomach...
phew... can sleep now...
wrong!
cramp cramp cramp....
ran to the toilet and this time, there were output....
and this happened for 3 times repeatedly....
By the time i finished my 6th or 7th run to the toilet, it was near 3am already..
Finally I fell asleep and woke up at 7 this morning, relieved and surprised that my stomach was no longer aching...
Only 4 hours of sleep and I had 8am-8pm class....with 2 hours break in between only cause went to work in UCC during the 10am break...
Slept through more than half of Pharm Analysis lecture and in the end of the lect, the lecturer gave us small pieces of paper to feedback about the lecture....
should i write that she should be less boring?
I decided against it and wrote 4 newly learned words instead.. --> "新年快乐"
really wanted to skip the last lecture (6-8pm) and get back to my room to sleep... but was stopped by a very "high" wy.... luckily this lecture was more interesting...
Stomach still not feeling very well now... hopefully i can sleep properly tonite as tomorrow still have class... and 4 hours lab..with 9 pages long of lab manual! never had i read such long lab manual for a single practical le...
Havent packed but will be going home tomorrow!!
yeah!!!
8.45pm bus...
so, here's wishing everybody 新年快乐！！万事如意！
To those who are not going home, I'll try to bring some CNY goodies back to share...
To those who are going back or who had gone back, happy enjoying and eating!!

Regrets... fear...weirdness...
the other nite when i laid down to sleep, i feel some regret over something that happened in the day... to be more exact, i regretted not doing something in the day... then it made me think of all those times that i felt regret... of either doing something that I should not have done... or regret of not doing enough... or regret for not doing anything at all....
Why do we feel regret anyway?
I think it's one of the worst feelings ever... and should be deleted from human's program...
I was quite overwhelmed with the feeling of regret after last Wed that every night when I lie down on my bed, the image comes to my mind...
After a week, the feeling slowly starting to drift away....phew... but i know i'll do something real soon that causes more regret... it's a continuous cycle..in my life, at least...
Then tonight, there was this fear in me... not fear of dying or something serious.... a stupid fear i think... or more accurately, fear of doing more things to cause more regret later... but i did it anyway... no regret for now yet... cause still trying to make the situation works... overcome the fear... but my heart was beating so badly, my chest and back ache... I have a weak heart, i guess..
Then I realised, I'm kinda weird lar.... sometimes i do think too much...
Even small decision like whether i should do my laundry today or tomorrow will give me extreme headache (as witnessed by ky in the bus during the hols..haha).... or whether i should eat chicken rice or malay food....
whether i should buy Chipsmore or not....
whether to do something or not to do it...and how to do it... can make me really panicky...
Must have been too dependent on my parents since young... they will make all the decision.. (although i remember vividly that i made the decision to go to national primary school instead of chinese primary school, cause i was lazy..haha)
haih.....
weird--> fear--> regret--> weird--> fear--> regret
My emotional cycle.... plus shortburst of happiness.... shortlived happiness...
*yawn*
another long day tomorrow....
Monday, January 23, 2006,11:57:00 PM
one looooong sigh....
haih................................................................
sien of myself......
sien of the world.....
sien of social norm............
sien of the fact.......................
the fact that......haih........................
started my day quite ok...8.30am class..sienz...but only 1 hour lecture...went back to PGP and slept (or actually went unconscious...) for 1 and a half hour... back in Sci Fac at 12noon for meeting...
realised my guy classmate's complexion is way better than any girl's... (>.<) 4 hours of continuous lectures followed...one was interesting, the other was just plain boring... and cant hardly understand what she was trying to say... haih........... dinner........ harmonica practice..... got a CNY gift today from our welfare coordinator... best! 
each EXCO got one..has our names on it... it's a small box containin:
a small CNY wishes note and goodies... sweets, keropok, jelly, chocolates, etc.
Thanks YH!! very thoughtful....
the funny thing was, the gifts were distributed by a junior and everyone of us thought the junior was the one who gave us the gift! haha..till we opened and saw our nicknames on the small note (names that only a few of us know..)
then haih.......................................
went back to PGP and found out about something and then haih.....................
haih......................................
which led to this haih....................... post.....
a bit wu liao, i know....but haih...............
let me have one last long sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

Middle of 2nd week..middle of nowhere
It's the middle of 2nd week of this semester...everyday is packed...with lectures, practicals, tutorials and more make up lectures... 8am to 8pm is a norm now.. not those with 6 hours break in between..
Today is a fine example..
my class started at 8am to 12noon... 2pm-5pm..6pm-8pm...
Tomorrow will be 8am-10am, 12noon-2pm,4pm-8pm...
Being sick and taking drugs that may cause drowsiness is making it all worse... couldnt pay attention at all during lab briefing... Just did as my friends did...
Still feeling blur now...
But at least I'm blur and happy! cause I find happiness in simple things.... very simple things... in this gloomy rainy evening, I encountered something that made me smile ... well, that's enough happiness to last me for at least a day or two... wahahha... ^_^
got to chiong tutorials now... and get more rest...
If you are wondering, I'm still having blocked nose and deep voice... (>.<)
Sunday, January 15, 2006,10:27:00 PM
happy, then irritated..
went out with the hang-out gang today... finally got the 6 of us together... after nearly a whole sem...
catching up on stories.... and went to Boon Lay's pasar malam.. i bought a 500pcs Winnie the Pooh jigsaw puzzle for $2 only!! wahahaha... and cc bought a deck of Winnie the Pooh poker cards for us to play the next time we meet..and since he's too embarassed to keep the super cute cards, i'm keeping it for him... wahahaha..happy...
and we ate Chao Tau Fu (stinky fried bean curd)... but not very nice....
now my room is super messy with everything everywhere...and i'm lazy to clear them...but since i cant find my notes and timetable, i shall go clear now...but just want to blog about how happy i am with the 2 Winnie the Pooh things in my room..wahahaha....
and was very very irritated by a huge size guy in the bus when i was coming back from harmo practice in CFA just now... the bus was totally packed..and this guy refused to move in!! as i was holding a rather big bag and my altohorn, it was not easy for me to turn around and ask him to move in... the girl in front of me thought i was the one who didnt want to move in..so she pushed me and i was sandwiched between the 2 of them! with the box of my altohorn hitting my chest!! so angry!! and irritated... >.<
that's all....hahaa.....going to see doctor tomorrow...
1st week of school
Mon- thought lect starts at 8am..but it is actually 8.30am.. anyway, the whole class was early... next lect was at 4pm..6 hours gap..
Tue-public holiday! went to Orchard at 10am and finally found the place we wanted to eat in at 11.30+am... ate in Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao..the one upstairs, in Taka..3 of us ate quite alot.. we had a bowl of la mian each..plus a basket of xiao long bao, a side dish and a plate of dessert too... "full til the stomach fell on the chair" -quoted from hy- *lolz*...anyway, the dessert was nice! it's called souffle or something like that... round thing with red bean paste and banana inside... and sugar flour thingy sprinkled on it... hot dessert, btw..
Then, me n hy send khim to cut her hair...met wx after that and 3 of us went shopping!! actually,only hy was goin to buy things... Mango was on sales... soo many ppl..almost all the things are on sale..me n wx joined in the fun..and went to try out some clothes too.. didnt buy any though...poor ma....
at about 4pm, we met up with khim...now known as blonde khim..cause she dyed her hair blonde-light brown colour... wx n I got a wallet each.. on sales le.. mine is $9.90 only.. but a little small..
see this Jap couple so cute! the girl is shy looking..while the boy..erm..dont know whether it's his own way of being shy...haha..
Actually there were sales in many places....so ther were many people in most of the shops.. and since we had not entered Armani Exchange outlet before, we walked in with the many ppl who were going in too.. hahah... so "ke lian"...cause we know we could not afford to buy the clothes in there, so just went in to have a look anyway..
Then we walked to Heeren...on the way, we stopped at Esprit at the Merritus Mandarin hotel.. khim wanted to buy something from Red Earth...and we ended up having make up on all 4 of us as the salesgirl was promoting all sorts of stuff..tips: if you are poor and cant afford to buy make up, just drop by the counter and ask about one of the things sold there..and let the sales girl do the make up for you..free of charge le.. (tip from my friend le... but she's nice enough to buy a lipgloss after having free make up).. khim n hy even got glitters on the eye shadow... 3 of them bought stuff from her..
Was quite hungry when we reached Heeren.. so didnt look around much.. hy n wx bought CDs... i nearly bought a pair of shoes.. but decided to look at other places 1st....
Walked back to Lucky Plaza cause i have Royal Sporting House voucher that i wanted to use.. and i didnt know Taka has RSH.. the one in Lucky Plaza is very small and not much choices..plus wx was complainin how hungry she was... in the end, didnt buy...board a taxi back to NUS to eat McD...haha..cause McD in NUS cheaper ar... had the rice burger...quite ok la.. but MOS's nicer..hhehhe....
Wed: chinese class was kinda boring... sat at the 1st row..cause we were a little late? not really actually..JF chose to sit there...and i got called to recite a chinese tongue twister..and i couldnt..

then we realised it was time to go for the Washi Doll workshop (Japanese doll making) at Millenia Walk...
Washi doll on display...very cute...
The dolls even have their own mirror le! so cute!! it's the size of the doll...
My washi doll..i made this k! haha... quite difficult to fold actually... but pretty...

Back in PGP
Just came back from supper..and everytime i come back from supper, i can't immediately go to sleep..dont know why.. at 1st i thought it was the tea that i drank...so i stopped drinking teh tarik when i go for supper.. i drink Milo nowadays... but still dont feel like sleeping now...
then i found out something about Channel U... everytime channel U shows the Majulah Singapura, i thought it would be like Malaysian tv where once Negaraku is shown, the channel will stop broadcasting... so, i will close the window everytime i hear Majulah Singapura... just now, i decided not to close the window yet... and i found out that Channel U shows MVs after Majulah Singapura... it's showin a lot of CNY MVs now..and a lot of Superstar MV...haha.. so, if you want the CNY feel, you can tune in to Channel U after 1.30am...or if you like Junyang..or any of the Superstar...
Tomorrow is a holiday.. Hari Raya Haji... want to go shopping..but am currently quite poor...just bought a text book today... 2nd hand at about half price.. quite a bargain...thats why i was convinced to buy it..hopefully will be useful... 1st day of school today... 8am and 4pm... got 6 hours in between the 2 lectures.. at times like this, you will be thankful that you stay on campus... those who stay outside have to find some friends to borrow their bed for a short nap or rest...lecturers? nothing interesting.. but was able to stay awake throughout..though halfway through the lecture, my mind went wandering...expecting Pharmacology to be difficult... and waiting to attend Chinese lecture too... hopefully the class will be fun... and i'm goin to be classmates with JF!! lol...

A brand new year
look at how much my niece had grown!!
This was more than a year ago.. when she just arrived into this world... my bro-in-law called her piggy En En..cause she fat fat de...and her name is Shearn En...
This was 3-4 months old.... looked quite big for her age... just cut her hair...that's why looked like baby boy..hehe..
This was nearly 1 year old... a week before her 1st birthday... hair longer le.. but got bruise on her face cause fell down from the bed... -__-""
This is the latest pic of my niece... so cute!! can walk very fast now.. me n small sis were chasing after her to take pix of her.. we also keep on taking videos cause she can talk now.. her favourite word is "yi fu" (clothes) pronounced by her as "yi bu"...my father is a tailor, so there are a lot of clothes around...that's why she can say "yi fu"... and also "mei mei"(pretty), "jie jie, ge ge"(sister, brother), flower, car car, "gou gou"(dog dog), bear bear, king(from a story book),"yu"(fish) etc...her very 1st word was "papa"...but now she knows how to call mummy...and "gong gong, po po, gu gu(grandfather, grandmother, paternal aunt) and she call me n small sis "yi-oh" (maternal aunt is called ah yi but she add her own "oh" behind... ^_^)
She knows how to pose now also..though her attention span really very short.. but she knows how to say her "yi bu" is "mei mei" (which means her jacket is pretty..)
En En holding her "bear bear"... the soft toy is actually a bulldog...haha... but the front legs are in a hand kind of position...so she think that it's a bear...
enough bout my niece...hehe...
went to Gurney again to buy new year clothes yesterday.. hehe..yeah!
Me and small sis under the lantern in Gurney Plaza... the decoration is finally done!
Then we saw a row of benches..this one is carried by a pair of pandas.. there was one carried by a pair of rabbits..and another by a pair of ducks..wanted to sit on them..then only realised they are for sale.. not decorations by Gurney Plaza..hehe..each cost Rm600++
Then we went to eat at Chopper Board..after walkin around til we were so hungry....Gurney Plaza has quite a lot of eating places... you can get Western, Eastern, Mediterranean, South East Asian... the best place to shop in Penang is Gurney Plaza! yeah~ plus point: everything is in Ringgit Malaysia!! wahaha... and it's also a good place to find ABC or KBC..or whatever mix you want, cause Uplands International School is a few minutes walk away only...
Brand New Year!! yeah!wheee

1st post of 2006
2-1-06
Last year, this day, I had been hit by a series of bad luck... and this bad luck persisted for more than half a year... according to the horoscope, the bad luck will end in July.. did it? well, less bad luck i guess, for the rest of the year...
This year, til now, I'm still fine..though I feel this new year will bring a lot of new challenges and hard decisions.. just 2 days, and i can feel the burden my brain is going through already...
Had been reading a number of new year resolutions made by people; on the newspaper, blogs and stuff... and also some "what had i learned from 2005.."...
well, I'm goin to state what i want for 2006...
If somehow this year i bumped into a genie in a bottle or a lamp or an angel.. or a heavenly creature or... anything that can grant me a wish la...
I want the power to read people's mind..to at least know what people are thinking..and hopefully what they are hiding ..yeah.. that's all i want for 2006...haha..
now, who can give me?
know why?
I feel with this power, i will better understand people around me..and i wont do or say things that will hurt them just cause i dont know what they are thinking! and what they actually want! how many times have you said the wrong thing? or do something that made people mad? or unhappy?
I almost lose a very close friend a few years back.. just because of the stupid things that i did...or said... cause i didnt know what she was thinking all along..and what she wanted from this friendship... guess i made too much assumptions...and made them all wrong...sigh...
Last year I realised the older we get, the more complicated the people we interact with... Things happened that make me think twice (or more)..before i assume that i know a person well enough..we might not know what they are actually after...
And i just realised i had been doin the wrong thing for such a long time..hahah..and made people unhappy i think.. sorry...
So, this year, I will still be me... i just want the super power k?
or just grant me more maturity la.. think that will do..
Ooh... and less anger...feel like i'm making new year resolution now... but actually no..cause i'm wishin that this whatever thing that comes to grant me a wish will take my anger in return..as a payment or something... don't ask me whats the use of my anger.. maybe this creature feeds on anger to grant people good wishes.. yeapz.. what a perfect world it will be.. yeah!
Sorry to those who had received abusive SMS or MSN messages from me.. those who know me well will know that I always have this stupid emotional outburst..but it comes and goes.. my mood is like the scariest roller coaster ever.. very very up, then very very down.. twist here and there.. upside down on some days.. or super high and shoots into the sky on other days.. and it never stops... no end point..
so, wishing for a great year ahead... grant me my wish... x(>.<)x
This post was made with no one particular in my mind..if you think i am crazy..well i think i am also..just today though..hehe... Happy 2006!! whee!!!
