A random Urge

Once a Mac User, it is almost for certain that you will stay as a Mac user. No matter how much I complain about the compatibility, it seems like my heart still goes for a Mac. I have this sudden urge to get a Mac laptop AGAIN. The urge just came like that.

I was so random recently that I even have the urge to fly to HK for shopping when I was working on my project report. =_= Pretty random and crazy but ya.. I do want to get away from Singapore.

I am soooo proud of myself. I have been researching, typing, writing, replying mails, working on my 2009 marketing plan and budget, etc since 8.30am. This show I was not listening to class, but ya, I think I should be able to multitask.*guilty*

Well well… Time to get back to my ppt slides. Shall get them out by wed so that I can concentrate on my work on Thurs and Fri, then other projects over the weekend.

Did i mention that it will be the break week next week? But as usual, it will be pack with projects but NO FEAR! I am going to meet up with the girls for some dimsum buffet or sakae buffet. Miss them lots and those good old days when we luff, joked and tease each other during project meetings. =)

Finally it starts working!

Alright.. Finally, my brain is starting to work and yes, I finally feel motivated to complete my projects and to do those research.

Oh! Yesterday was Joyce’s and Elv’s birthday. I am sure Joyce had great fun over in Australia as I saw those photos on how the group of ppl in Australia celebrated for her. * Sweet*

As for Elv, the rusty old friend of mine, we went Aston! Seriously, the queue is never ending and we have to queue even at 5.45pm. That’s a little crazy! But well, the food is cheeap and good, but HL says the food is better over in the East Coast Branch. Shall try it out one day!

We are just so bored when queuing up. We waited pretty long for that table!!!

Miss Elv and her delicious lemon lime chicken

This is my black pepper fish! The gravy is pretty nice but the fish is Burnt!! Well.. I think they are really understaffed as we waited pretty long for the food. A little disappointed. =|

Alright.. Didn’t take a photo of HL’s food as her Herb grilled fish was short of Onion rings and it doesn’t look good on pics with the sides. Apologies!

Miss Elv and her birthday present. Ehh.. not that iPhone, but the red leather cover! haha. I find that red cover pretty sexy! hahaa. I love Red. =)

In the end, As the queue is so freaking long, we did not want to take up the seat for too long, so we went off even without having a place to go. In the end, we went back to SMU, my beloved school. =_= Hahaa.. It’s not that bad really, i find my sch to be pretty nice in the night. haha.. as usual, we took alot of photos! HL camera has this cool functions and we were like posing and snapping. We look like idiot but ehh, we dun really care!

Shall wait for those pictures to be up! Alright, time to get down to work! Projects here I come! I will make this last semester a good one!!

Finally UP!

Alright.. The girls gave me a big Angbao for my birthday and I need to show how “SONG” the Angbao design is. Miss Calin has really put in the effort to choose the most retro Angbao!

I really Look damn tired on a Saturday Afternoon after class.

101 ways

I think I should be proud of myself. I have got these 101 ways to distract myself from studying.

Since Last night, I have been forcing myself to sit down and face with the whopping 10 chapters which I have to study for the Monday test. And also since last night, I have been doing everything else except for studying.

I started reading the first page when I yawned and pei pei caught me online to chat with me regarding braces. I felt like I was lying when she asked if I got a test to prepare or sth. I answered “NO” immediately. I think I am realy desperate to escape from the books. Well.. Then after that I saw the panda online, so I went ahead to ask about the panda’s life in taiwan, and she later on she asked if Mike could add me on msn. I am more than happy to have more people to entertain me. I know I sound really desperate to say that. But well, this carried on till like midnight, when i decided that’s it for the day.

So since 3.30pm, I have my textbook right in front of me, but I have my eyes on my laptop. I tried all ways. I replied the 30 emails in my work mail. I did up a marketing budget stuff for my region and I did everything else except for studying. I would rather work than to face the book and the whoping 10 chapters have failed to bring out this sense of urgency in me.

Argh.. I think I am so dead, but I hope to remain dead.

Alright. I think it’s time to slap myself out of this laziness.

Here it goes..

Just thinking what I should do for the day. I’ve got tons of things to do, to follow up, have presentation slides, have tests to study for. All of the sudden, I don’t feel like doing anything at all. After sitting for two tests last week, I am tired. I think I am truly exhausted with such life.

My cousin smsed me today, telling me that I don’t need to be so hard on myself. My parents should be able to provide what I need, expenses and everything. But, I just feel gulity for just asking for things which I know I can work for. Take it as I am stubborn, but that’s what make me stronger.

I believe I can do this. It has been years since I started doing. It’s just another few months till I can just stop the part time work and full time studies.

arggh… It’s not Friday!

What a sad Friday. I have my notes in front of me and I am trying hard to control myself not to watch tv. I really hope I am walking down Orchard Road now, doing some shopping, having some great meals. Instead, I am like reading and trying to memorize some numbers.

Arggggh… I think I really got no mood to study. Shitttt. I am still regreting not going for the exchange. Louis said we would have gone for the exchange if I did not wanted to go for the jaw surgery. Initially, I wanted a jaw surgery, therefore, we couldn’t go for our exchange. Now I really regret!!! I want my exchange!!!

dreadful test

i think this week is a week that is packed with tests. Somehow, I have lost interest in studying. What is written in the textbook is often not practical or rather, somewhat impractical in real life.

I always pride myself for finishing every single page of readings or at least textbook before i sit for my test. But this time, i merely read through the bold headings, roughly get the meaning and then move on. I think I gonna die.

the mooncake has been left on my office desk for a week and I wonder if the mooncake is turning mouldy. I think I better make a trip down to office to collect it, before i get my ass home to study for the test on saturday.

I told myself I will make full use of the 1,5 hours before test to study hard, but eh.. I think nothing is gonna get into my head at this time. But hope information will get out of my head somehow, during the test later.

I really want to study overseas

I really regret not going for exchange. At first, I thought I could just save a little without gong for exchange but seriously, it is not worth it.

Life is not about results, but how much you have learn. Your results can be like shit, but if you have seen the world, you are able to draw relevance to what you have learn to what you are going to do, it is worth it. Results is just a small part of the life, although money seems like a big part, but in fact, it is just a small part too. If for that small amount of money, I am able to learn and see so much more, why not?

I truly regret not going for exchange also because the fact that by having a hostel overseas, it just cost so little to travel around that area as compared to traveling all the way from Singapore. Also, the cost will be so much more. By traveling, you are able to see how differrent is one part of the country as compared to another. I think it is really a good opportunity to see for yourself, the cultural differences and experience it. It may seems to cost more, but the lesson is valuable. It may seems to many that it is a waste of money, but you will never know how valuable those experience were until you are in a discussion and you know the things you have missed. People are able to know what happen in the other side of the world, drawing their experience to apply to what they are learning. It is something so much more valuable than saving that money.

I have realized money can be earned back. Although I am still a student surviving on that miserable amount each month, I am bent on going for my graduation trip in Europe, which means I will borrow money from my parents. It may sound selfish, but the experience will worth so much more. Also, as compared to travelling when I started working, the opportunity cost and actual cost of traveling is so much lesser.

I want to see the World. I don’t want to see how tall the Effiel tower is from the picture, I don’t want to learn how French culture is different from singapore. Books can never be accurate but experience is.

I really envy my friends who are studying in Australia. They are traveling to different cities of Australia to see how different one city is from another. Australia is not the same across the whole Australia, and they are traveling around to see for themselves. Once, someone told me that if they don’t travel, they might as well just study some Australian degree in Singapore, since they will be learning the same thing in the book. In the past, I really think they are really spendthrift, but now I think they make sense. I really want to know what is happening in the other part of the world.

The same goes for my SMU friends. Some lend money from parents, some get expensive bank loans for Exchange. again, it sound stupid to get bank loan for exchange, but the experience worth so much more.

Now that I am into my last sem, exchange is no longer an option for me. So, I am determined to go Grad trip. I want to go Europe.

Dumb me!

I am so DUMB!

I happily opened this new contact lens and wear it out for the day. At the end of the day, I forgot that I do not have any contact lens case anymore! This is really oh shit. I remember i left one in my travel toiletry pouch but i remember i dicarded it after my bangkok trip. SHIT.

In the end, I threw my new contact lens off. How dumb. I know I am dumb. I am going on with my specs for the next few days! My heat ache for my new pair of contact lens. brrrrr….

Hello! Singtel

I have switched from starhub to singtel. I was prepared to pay for the registration cost but the girl in Singtel said I do not need to pay for the registration nor the sim card. Oh. That’s good for me!

Then I got this phone!

This phone was selling at 298 at Singtel and 498 at Starhub. So I went to singtel and waiting an hour for this phone as it is out of stock. As I was lazy to queue in the Singtel mainstore, I went to the reseller instead. Because of this, they ran out of the bluetooth headset which allow seamless transmission of the music from the phone. So I was given a old sch bluetooth. Well, I feel pretty sad about that but I don’t use bluetooth anyway. I will not be using my phone to listen to mp3, but maybe i will tune in to FM.

Finally got this phone and I am now waiting for Singtel to port my number over. This should be taking place today and I think I can start using my 3G sim card tomorrow. Now I got a free 3G simcard which the Starhub wants to charge me 30 bucks for it. I think Starhub has its good points as well, but I think i am too angry with starhub.

Wooooohoo.. I am waiting to use my new phone! (* As my simcard is the first 500 starhub sim card, it can only store 5 sms and some contacts. So, don’t mention 3G. Therefore, I can’t use my new phone. )

I think I should Update a little on my bangkok trip.

Bangkok!

I think i should count myself lucky that I return back to Singapore two days before the whole riot broke out. It was raining here and there but I do not experience any storm.  =)

This time, I stayed in Hyatt hotel and then downgraded to Grand diamond hotel as I extended my stay. The downgrading experience is really PAINFUL. It is like from Heaven to hell and Louis said “I am pretty okay, as long as it is not the 18th level Hell”. But it is somewhere near…. The hotel is located so far away from the BTS (as compared to Samran) and we have to walk thru those small backlanes.

But we made it back to Singapore! There is no better way to fly. I love SIA and the food, entertainment and experience is good!!

Time for some photos!!

It’s my first trip with Dumbo and I am pretty sure there will be more to come!!

This is just a small part of the room as it comes with the study table and coach. This room is fantastic!! But it comes with a price of more than S$300 per night.

It’s as though we are in heaven!

The food in heaven is good too. As my room does not come with buffet breakfast, my boss tell me to order for some room service of breakfast.

This is just the starter.

This is good! I think things taste better when you are resting on your bed, relaxing and having your meals. I always like to eat my meals on my bed and at the same time watching tv. But my parents would say that I looks like in hospital. Wahaha. Dad and Mum, I think hotel is a much better place than Hospitals! I love having meals on my bed. it would be best if someone can just serve the food and clear the food. I am just so lazy!

My new jumper! I bought this Guess jumper for 60 bucks but I really feel it is worth it!! Although it is really giving me problems when I go to the toilet, I still love it. I just need to note not to find the toilet when I am super duper urgent. =D *heart*

For more pictures, refer to facebook!! I really really love bangkok, but not the taxi rides because my taxi ride from hotel to airport is crazy. The driver is driving at 140km/h and cutting lane at 110km/h. Don’t ask me how he does it because I don’t even dare to open my eyes during the rides. It’s scarrrrry….

To end off…
