I'm 18

One year older......time really files. 2 years back i was taking O Levels, and now, few more months taking A Levels. I want to thank all my friends who wished me HAPPY BIRTHDAY, really appreciate it.

This birthday, i didnt buy anything for myself, cause didnt have anything in mind. But this year, i bought some things i have always wanted. Earlier this year, bought a high waist short when i'm at 313 with shunyu. Then, 2 or 3 months back, FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON THE 时尚酷墨镜 together with 小猪 罗志祥 album (read my previous post). The 时尚酷墨镜 is really VERY COOL~~!!! LOVE IT!!! And really, i wore it and shook my head till the max, it really didnt fall off. But i doubt i will wear it in singapore when i'm out, the most on my wrist.

Few days back, i watched 娱乐百分百and got to know this singer 蓝又时-Shadya, her voice is really nice. I like her new album《伦敦的爱情》a lot, all the songs are like what she said, 'after listening to it, you can heal your 'wounds' yourself' I'm not saying that i have any wounds to be healed but it's really nice and relaxing when listening to her songs. I can't exactly explain it, watch these MV.

1) 伦敦的爱情

2) 一体两面

The second singer is 郭采洁-Amber, her new song -卡通人生 is really cute, i dunno where i hear the music/tune before, really familiar, is it some advertisement? I really have no idea, anyone has the same feeling?

卡通人生

After searching this MV on YouTube, found this 'Lollipop' by MIKA, so i think the卡通人生 is a remake/another version.

Lollipop-MIKA

Today, went for a jog to burn off calories. Haha, but dun think will work, cause for BOTH lunch and dinner, i had DUMPLINGS. Can you imagine that? I ate LOTS of RICE today. Must go for a jog tomorrow. MUST! GO SHIHUI! Haha......really guilty......and i was still thinking whether or not to have Mac breakfast tomorrow. HAHA.....shihui is going to become a fatso soon.......

*NIGHTMARE FOR ME* AVIOD! AVIOD! AVIOD! MUST AVIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

罗生门

小猪罗志祥终于发行他的新专辑了，《罗生门》！！！

在台湾如果预购的话，还可以得到一个很特别的时尚UV酷墨镜。这墨镜不仅能帮你遮挡UV，还是一个甩不掉的墨镜！它就像个夹子，能卷起来，戴在手上或夹在你的眼睛两傍，就变成个太阳眼镜了！很酷对吧？我好像要一个啊。。。但在新加坡已卖完了，迟了一步。。。不不，是迟了很多步。这就是那时尚UV酷墨镜。。。

真得很特别吧！

这些都是小猪在这张专辑的MV。。。不知道还会有新的吗。。。。。

1）爱的主场秀

2）爱疯头

3）WOW

4）爱不单行

5) In Your Eyes

6）习惯就好

这一次有很多MV，我都很喜欢！=]

BUSY

Just ended my 4e3 bbq gathering, though only 12 came, but i think we all had fun. This time round is quite successful, as the food are of the right amount, not like last time, too much or too little. I sort of 'burnt'/'scalded' by right hand while i was putting off the fire for the bbq. I didnt know there will be lots of steam after i splash the water onto it, so my hand was like just above the coals, and *PUFF*, there goes my right hand. My skin is still pinkish and can still feel the pain. Luckily i immersed it in ice water immediately, if not, i think it will be worst. Therefore, lesson learnt: NOT TO SPLASH LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER ONTO BURNING COALS, DO IT SLOWLY WITH LITTLE AMOUNT. AND, WATCH OUT FOR THE STEAM!!!

Few weeks back, i was back from Sydney. The trip was quite dry due to all the dialogue sessions but it was really eye-opening. I get to experience how it was like to be in a lecture where you can just ask a question while the lecturer is talking. I get to see their culture through the trip to Sydney Opera House and the drama/comedy that i watched. It was SHOCKING to see that there is only one male artiste sitting there, in the middle of the stage, talking none stop in the drama. There is no change of scene and it lasted for around 1.5 to 2 hours? I understand what the male artiste is saying but dun get the funny part. The Australians around me were laughing like nobody business but i didnt find myself doing that.

About their lifestyle, they start business late and end it early. I remembered there was a day when we went to a countryside and need to get packed lunch. We were warned not to all rushed into one cafe and queue to buy our packed lunch because we will not be able to do that in 30mins. The reason was......the pace there is slow, they are not like us, rushing to eat, work etc. They are enjoying themselves, relaxing thus wont be able to take our orders and pack it as quickly as the fast food restaurants. True enough, i waited for quite long to order and get my packed lunch. There were only 5 of us and the female shop attendant looks a bit confused and start to make mistakes. When we were paying after she packed every one's lunch, she miscounted and we got to pay it at a cheaper price. I paid 1 AUZ less? If she were to do that for every customer, i think they dun need to do the business already. Another thing that proves the lifestyle of the countryside is slow would be, elderly coming together to setup a mini flea market in a small cottage and the elderly there who were tending to their stall were sitting there competing and playing crossword puzzle. I was like *WOW*, they are seriously enjoying their life!

Didnt really shop over there as the shopping time was not long enough. There was once they gave us only 30mins to shop in a mall and 1 hour plus in a big market+shopping mall+lunch. Though there was free & easy for the last day, they brought us to The Rocks to shop for 2.5 hours. But no use, the things there were SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE. A top for 65 AUZ, a necklace for 40+++AUZ...... I would prefer to have the 2.5 hours to be spent at big market where things are cheap and a variety to look at and buy.

The weather there was really cold, but it got warmer as we were about to leave. But i think, it is better to be cold than hot over there. Their sun is very glaring and can get sun burnt very easily.

About their food, it was nothing special. The Australians dun really have a proper lunch, they mostly have SANDWICHES in cafes for lunch unless you go to a food court like one in Singapore where you have many choices to choose from. Breakfast and dinner i had were those western that kind. I had breakfast in the hotel, it was a small buffet : egg, sausages, potato, beans, muffins, cereal, fruits etc. Dinner are the fish and chips, steak, spaghetti, pasta etc. But i must say, there sandwiches are really different from ours in terms of flavours and size. The only special food i had, which was for one of the dinner which we had to buy for ourselves was KEBAB. I never eaten a kebab before and it turn out to be tasty.....they were really generous with the fillings.

I think i'll continue next time....tomorrow still got training in the morning....

Off to Sydney~~~

In about 25 hours time, i will be flying off to Sydney~~~away from Singapore for about 5 - 6 days. Not really for holidays, but for an educational trip, which means, more learning, less shopping. The learning part would be through dialogue sessionssssss which we are having it for most of the days.

As we are told, it's dialogue session, so we should be asking questions and not staring at the lecturer and STONE. We need to COMMUNICATE with the lecturer, give him or her acknowledgement by NODDING OUR HEADS. This is a big different from what we have in Singapore, will definitely give me a new experience. I just have to treat this trip with the correct mindset - learning, so that i can benefit as much as i can from it. Just hope that everything will go on smoothly.......

This trip is a bit troublesome, as we the outfit we wear must be something presentable as we are meeting important people for dialogue session. Therefore, we cant really wear T-shirts (which i think is the most comfortable to wear when we go overseas) but have to wear blouse? Or just something not that informal. I really dunno. Worst still, we are going for a theatre performance in Sydney Opera House, so need to wear something smart and formal. With clothes that are smart, we definitely need to wear a shoes that goes well with it. Hence, for this trip, i need to bring another shoe just for the theatre performance. Troublesome right? No choice....i still remember the time i went to Vietnam, i just throw all my T-shirts, shorts and jeans in the luggage and everything is settle. But this time, i need to think whether this or that is presentable and blahblahblah.............

I am more or less settle with the packing, just hope that the weather in Sydney would be good and fine. If it's shower and wet, it will definitely dampen the mood to have fun. Went to check just now, the weather there would be cloudy and wet for the next few days, hope it will improve.

Oral Presentation

About my OP, i did my best! I didnt forgot my script and i didnt stuck during my speech which normally happen to me when i rehearse and i will try to hide it. BUT there's one thing i made a mistake.......AT THE START......

I'm the first speaker, so i need to introduce my other speakers and what they are going to share about in their speech. I need to rememebr who to point and what they are going to say, so when introducing to the LAST speaker......my actual script was: .....and lastly, Yeo Kiat Ni, our last speaker, will be covering on the sustainability and end this presentation with a conculsion.

BUT i said this ALOUD instead: .....and lastly, Yeo Kiat Ni, our last speaker, will be covering on the sustainability and conclude this conclusion with a conclusion. I was shouting inside my heart: OMG like mad. NO CHOICE! Got to move on......dunno what the hell i was talking. Thinking that people might not realise what i had said.....but i was wrong, 2 of my members repeated what i said to me when the whole thing end. They heard it loud and clear, so will the assessors.....haiz....conclude this conclusion with a conclusion?!?!?!? What is this???????????? =/

NO MORE PROJECT WORK!!!

I had my Oral Presentation (OP) today. It's the 1st day for this exam and is also my last day for PW. Actually not really, still have a little bit more to go, Insights and Reflection (I&R). Really happy that PW is over!!! But seriously, i think the OP period is the best among this PW period. Maybe because there is not much of work to do, mostly working on oral. Also, there isnt much lessons to attend and take note, just need to improve on OP skills, which is something that is so much easier then writing all the reports. Just need to overcome FEAR and PRACTICE. I had a lot of fun during the practicing of OP. I think the OP period is the part that i like the best for PW. That's the 1st time for me to say i like PW, not the whole thing, but just the OP part. Haha.....

Just a few weeks ago, i noticed this Korean band - SHINee (pronounce this as shiny), consists of the leader Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho and Taemin. Nice names. Really. I was so FASCINATED by them. They are very young, youngest is just 1 year younger than me, while the eldest is 4 years older than me. The fact that they are very young and be able to dance so well is the fascinating part. They are so successful. Not only can dance but also sing very well, for the main vocalists, i not too sure about the others. I am so addicted to their songs, though i dun understand the meaning, but i really LIKE and LOVE the rhythm. I suddenly have this urge to learn the Korean language. Also, i dunno why, for some of their songs, when i first listen, it's still okay, or not really that nice. But after watching their MV for the respective songs, I LOVE IT!!! Maybe it's the visual aid......but i dun really find myself liking a chinese song after watching the MV. Weird. Now, even my desktop background is a picture of the whole band. Haha.....

Let me show you some of the MVs that i am FASCINATED with. Haha.....

You're like Oxygen (Love like Oxygen)

You're like Oxygen (Love like Oxygen)(dance version)

A.MI.GO

I like the way they shift themselves around, it's very neat. Also they can join back into the dance naturally. Have this urge to learn how to dance.....just like after watching 一支独秀 and 撑腰 by xiaozhu luo zhi xiang.

Promos results are out, most of my results are disappointing, only a few that i am happy with. But i at least, I THINK, i am able to get promoted to J2.

Never mind about the results, come to think that i am able to go Sydney without any worries, it makes me feel so excited. Before going this trip i need to check my blood group and to get the flu jab. I went for the blood group test on friday and got the result today. But i think i will not go that clinic (clinic B) anymore because of the doctor and their way of doing things. I went to check whether can i have a blood group test at clinic A at night and they said they do provide the service, just that is better to withdraw the blood in the morning so that they can work on it and not put it overnight. So i went to clinic B to ask the same thing again. Clinic B said they do provide and can withdraw my blood immediately. At that point of time i didnt think much so went in to withdraw my blood. The doctor withdraw my blood and asked me to hold onto the cotton on the wound. So i did. And you know what he did? He passed me a plaster and said in a few minutes i can remove the cotton and put on this plaster. WTH? Me? Me putting the plaster on my elbow part with a wound and no one is helping me? What kind of doctor is this? Is not as though there are patients waiting outside to get treated......there's not a single soul outside waiting. Haiz.....still charge me $15 for it.....qinning had her blood group test for just $10.

Monday is my A level Chinese paper. I hope this is the last time i will have to do a Chinese paper and get an A. Please, i dun want to be like O level like that, get A2. Though is still an A, but is like hanging there, not high nor low, making me frustrated. PLEASE. HIGH 'A' FOR CHINESE.
