Back to my blog. haha.

I think i really can't blog. no time leh.
most of my blogs were written when i m in office =X or at nus computer cluster. haha

maybe home computer not suitable for blogging? or too many things to do at home than to blog. i.e. tv lah, chit chatting la, board games la. etc.

This is the last time i am going to blog with my office desktop, which i have been using for 2 years. Becos, I'm going to have a new laptop tmr! great rite? My this computer is antique le lar. RAM only 224Mb and space only 60gb.

Looking forward to the new notebook.

Also, today i went to my new work place. nice environment and i like my new seat! =)

Not much progress for my preparation of the wedding though. BUT we've purchased our wedding band. Yes! finally. and it is actually ready for collection yesterday. But we are so busy to even drop by tampines mall to collect. =X

First week of Sem 2 has passed

2007-08-17T14:01:00.000+08:00

Lessons are interesting. . . relevant to what i am doing. Appreciate the lessons more than when i was an undergraduate.

Lecturers are good. . . Can feel their passion to teach. . . Not just for exams purposes, but to educate the engineers of this industry. . . To highlight the importance of some fundamental concepts which might be taken for granted, esp in this computer age.

Environment is good. . . Air conditioned classrooms, clean corridor, comfortable seats and tables...

BUT

My Dinners are bad. . .I'm not enjoying my meals. . . Quick and unpleasurable dinners just to keep myself away from hunger. Eat to live. This is what i have to go through 3 times a weeks for the next 12 weeks. Haiz. Well, i'm someone who enjoys eating. . . hehe. I dun eat many meals a day. Just the normal 3. But, i want to enjoy my meals. Jus felt sad, felt that i m so pityful to have unenjoyable dinners... but not as bad as it is la. hehe. eat better for the days when i dun have lessons!

Besides that, and till when all my tutorial deadlines and quizzes come in, i felt i m quite ok with the lessons. So far so good. Tiring for sure. . . but at least i find the lectures quite useful.

Mon, Wed, Thurs nights . . Please dun ask me out these days!

My 2nd sem is starting...

2007-08-05T22:25:00.000+08:00

The thought of going to NUS twice-thrice a wk, attending lectures from 6-9pm, having quick dinner at that E2 cafe, doing tutorials and rushing for term paper really makes me SIAN ar!!!

I'm still deciding to take 2 or 3 modules this coming sem. The thought of having 2 or 3 more semesters of such life isnt' very enticing.

Well, not that i hate studying. Actually after working for 3 years, i can appreciate what i am learning better.. But i dun really enjoy being a part time student, having to sacrifice precious time after work. (i guess most pple won't enjoy too ba).. But the consoling thought i gave myself is "it's just 13 wks ! " Also, Ming Tao is starting his first sem too. Welcome to the part time students club, joining me and Amanda ar. haha.
I will survive ..... well =p

Transformers, bridal shop, metro sales = bz wkend

2007-07-16T22:28:00.000+08:00

alright... not only Friday the 13, even on Saturday the 14 and Sunday the 15, we jus can't get the transformers tix! hmm.. din try our luck on sat. maybe we are just too last min in trying to get the tix. anyway, finally got the tix for the sunday 955pm show. Yes! and mingtao and i watched till 1230am = Tired and sleepy Monday. The show was ok. the transformers looks good. ya. i agree that the computer graphics is good. but the fight was a bit confusing for me. perhaps either i was tired (abit dozing off) or maybe i jus dun know the characters well (i didn't watch transfomers! oh my, wat was i doing during my childhood?)

Visit to bridal shop. hmm... tried out many designs. generally felt that tube cut suits me most. actually realise the gowns are quite similar.. or rather i m not sharp enough to notice the subtle differences. anyway, i guess it's the overall feel that is important ba. brought along a few of my gd frens - suan, yun, ling & hwee wen. thanks for the opinions and views. was initially a bit stressed. but towards the end, it was better :) have roughly decided on wat suit me. jus wan a tube (straight top), simple gown. so i think the material and cutting of the gown are crucial. will be meeting the designer on 27th jul 07. better do abit more hw. maybe on the beads design ba. and then bring some magazines for discussion.

While waiting for the 955 show... went metro to shop ard. wow.. 50% + another 20%. Jialat, i think i have the auntie mentality. got quite alot of things. a pair of jeans at $12, a 3/4 pants at $12 and a swimming costume at $19. all are wat i intend to get also la. today after work, seems like addicted to the shopping. haha. went back to get shoes. yes! i need them too. got 2 pairs of URS shoes for $16 each. hee. wow. seems like a shopping spree. but ok la. need them and it's a good time to get them now since metro is having a closing down sales.

ok, that's all ba. going to unpack my new items le.. hee.

Going bridal shop this sunday & some updates

2007-07-13T15:07:00.001+08:00

Going to make my first visit to the bridal shop this sunday 4pm.

Excited. Don't know what will be there waiting for us. Keep you updated again!

For the past wk, dun know what i've doing also. hee. hmm... playing a new game called Settlers of Cantan. Met up with joyce, guowei and amanda... Sent gracia off to australia. . . ate at changi airport with the usual gang (a treat fr mr. gk at crystal jade *yum*yum*) ... work play sleep eat. haha.

eh...something's missing! no exercise! =x
got! dance? eh.. if the movements i do are considered dancing ". . ."

wkday's coming! today is friday the 13th. so far so good for me. anyway, i dun believe in it la. Going to watch transformer later... hopefully can get the tixs. oh no. will Friday 13th set in then when i trying to get the tixs?

back to work le.

Something about salsa

2007-06-30T23:27:00.000+08:00

Can't think of an appropriate title.

Anyway, I went for my last 2B salsa lesson today. alone. but felt quite ok. becos, quite 熟 with the classmates le. Before leaving, we actually exchanged contacts.

ok, that's not the main thing i wanna say.

Our instructor, Wendy, mentioned about something which i find it quite interesting. She actually relates salsa partnership with our life partnership. She says that we must be able to dance well alone first before we can dance well with a partner. If you are lousy, then dun affect others. Can't really remember the exact words la. but the idea is there. Saying, if you are an unhappy (or problematic?) person, then dun go into a relationship to torture others. Something like that har. hope you all get the idea. can't express it well.

But I wan make a disclaimer. i.e. I'm not making any personal attack on anyone. Jus thot that it is quite interesting to link this mentality to salsa dancing and then back to boy-girl relationships. (oh no.. bgr sounds so ermm. childish? haha. too old to say bgr? can't find a better word leh)

*Be careful! Hurry come back!

3rd day he is away

2007-06-25T20:54:00.000+08:00

Miss him.

Though we dun meet everyday. maybe sometimes we mite not meet for a few consecutive days. . . though 3 days aren't that long. . . but somehow, it is different when i know i wun be able to contact him. . .

when i wake up, and i know it's mid night over there. when i am slacking at night here, properly he is having a busy afternoon over there. somehow it is just different la. :) it's like we are experiencing different part of the day. sounds so ehh... duh. haha.

anyway, just wanna jot down some thots la.

but it's a good experience. one wk is really short la. but i realise not to take his presence for granted.

A busy wk. A Lazy saturday = long post

2007-06-23T20:15:00.000+08:00

Had a busy wk. Busy at work and busy after work.

Work -
busy and slightly unhappy. but everything is under control. oh. not always unhappy la. some happy matters too. Ok, that's enough to summarize my wk at work.

After work -
busy shopping for a pair of rings. trying very hard to get a pair of wedding band before the G.S.T..... eh.. sounds cheapo? or a typical singaporean?haha. but anyway, din get a pair. gave up. will get after mingtao comes back. i.e. GST = 7% :(
Went to Lee Hwa, Goldheart, Soo Kee, Tiff and Co. .. eh.. can't decide what we want. shortlist a few though.

Ok, that was the busy wk.. doesn't sound that busy afterall? haha. but it was a tiring wk.slept late everynight.

Oh, went for Shisheng and Mun Yee's wedding last sunday night. that was the beginning of the late night sleep... will post some photos later. :) oh ya.. Huang Shi Yu was shisheng's brother. We took the table photo together with him.

TODAY. today is Saturday! Work up early this morning.. 610am... to send him off. he will be in UK for a wk plus. still in the plane now.. hope he will enjoy his trip there. :) After sending him in at about 8am, i went for breakfast with his parents. nice chat. went back to continue my beauty sleep. hehe.. till ard 11+? went to posb with brother and lunch with family at 201 coffeeshop.

In the afternoon, i went to my salsa class alone. moves getting harder and more intimate. but ok la. my skin is thicker now. remember? hee. ok, so after my dancing... i head home and continue my sleep. aGaIN.. hahaha.. that's why it was a lazy saturday. woke up for dinner. and now blogging.

ok. tat's all :)

Dinner at 天天火锅

2007-06-15T12:25:00.000+08:00

one wk has passed since my last entry. and Today is Friday again!

Just wanna leave a note on my dinner yesterday. Went to eat 天天火锅 with long-time-no-see friends. (Hwee Suan, Yongkang (not them), Hwee Wen and Adrain).

I ate 天天火锅 once abt 1-2 years ago. Had a bad impression of them. Crowded, stuffy, long waiting time, stingy portion... The only good memory is the 汤真的很好喝！(sounds familiar? ;p) But of cos, the 很好喝的汤 did not win the discomfort of the place. => i did not visit them again since then

Yesterday, i went to 天天火锅 with these vague memories. the place improves alot. The ambience of the place is good. Clean, more spacious and better service change my impression of them. Worth trying. However, the soup wasn't as great as what i've remembered.

nice catch up. crappy jokes. expected violence, ordering food like gluttons, pushing the food around 'generously'. and our meal ended with a refreshing orange jelly served in an orange. duh . . engr really can't write well ;p

Alright, back to work liaoz.

Friday 730pm @ office

2007-06-08T19:25:00.000+08:00

Headbutt Fun

2007-06-05T23:47:00.000+08:00

While uploading that spinning workshop, suddenly, this you tube clip came to my mind...

ENJOY!

Online spinning workshop

2007-06-05T23:36:00.000+08:00

Got this from youtube. This is what spinning is all about. Looks easy isn't it. Trust me, it's not! I also dun know why it seems so effortless for lee and shelly.

Check this out! see if you can learn the gest of it from here.

I've survived 12wks of Salsa Lessons!

2007-06-04T10:00:00.000+08:00

Yes! You didn't read it wrongly, I've attended 12 wks of salsa lessons! still surviving!

Started learning salsa~ with Hwee Suan, Lingling, Mingtao, Yongkang and Zhennan. Last Sat was our 12th lesson. The graduating class of level 2A. We have been thru 4 lessons of level 1A, 4 lessons of level 1B and 4 lessons of level 2A. I've forgotten why i wanted to learn salsa. But then again, it's a good experience. Especially when i have no dancing background at all. (* tell u all a little secret, .... i've joined chinese dance when i was in primary 5! but quit very soon after joining. cos the moves are really straining. So u can imagine i'm such an inflexible bee!)

When i attended the first lesson, felt abit paiseh and abit uncomfortable. We need to dance with every guy in the class and we need to dance real close to a stranger. Looking around in the air, looking down on the floor and everywhere, just to avoid eye contact. haha. till now, i can tell u, my skin has grown thicker, much thicker.

I think dancing salsa trains me to be more fang4 with gesture, more confident and more expressive with my body. eh.. sounds like i'm an expert liao? no la, i still look very char3 char2 (stiff) one. So dun expect tat i can dance well. haha.

Now the moves are getting tougher. in level 1A and 1B, it was just coordination work. now, spinning and spotting are really testing my limits! plus the shine footworks can really kill. ok, LOTs of practise is the key to dance well ba.

Will update more about my salsa dancing/learning experiences. . .

*Initally, i 'forced' him to learn with me. Now, he is more enthusiastic than me! :)

* Styling to me is memorising not by feeling . yet. hehe

* Proceeding to level 2B!?

Got an external hard disc at PC Show

2007-06-02T23:14:00.000+08:00

After months of procastination, I've finally bought my portable external hard disc. My brother wanted to transfer our laptop data over so that he can reformat the slow laptop. For me, I want to go ard and collect back .... (not debts.. but)... photos!

First stop - Yongkang's hse.From Hwee Suan (Suan)!

2nd stop - Xiaoyun's (Yun) hse.

... pls own up if you have my photos at ur hse!

-----------------------------------************--------------------------------------

Bought the hard disc at the PC Show @ Suntec on thurs. The crowd was horrendous. haha. not so kua zhang la. Just that the crowd at those storage device stalls was overwhelming. A 2GB thumbdrive costs only about S$30! i bought a 256MB @ $60+ lor. (but was abt 1 to 2 years ago la)

My advice to PC Show : Do not expect to go 'shop' for items in the PC show. Aim for what you want to buy. Do some research. Go straight to the few vendors, compare the prices and packages, and if it's ok, buy and leave the place!

For us, we did the first part. Aim to get an external hard disc. but we did not do any research. So after some squeezing ard in the crowd, we decide to head to seagate booth and bought a

Maxtor OneTouch III™ Mini Edition - 80GB USB 2.0 Drive @ S$99.

Don't tell me if its not much cheaper!

Welcome to My Blog!

2007-05-31T09:31:00.000+08:00

I'm here! I've joined the blogger's community!

Too late to start one? Definitely not!

Want to capture down the happenings in my life before time just slips away without me knowing. 时间过得真快！Especially once I started working. It's just weekends after weekends, public holidays after public holidays. Life becomes mundane and routine at times. So hopefully with this blog, I will be able to see the colours in my life. (i.e. i've done this la, i've learnt that la)

Btw, I must give credit to Ms. Amanda Lim for cracking her head to help me think of this blog's site. haha. I'm not going to use po-ma-bee or ma-fan-bee.blogspot.

*Anyway, talking about public holiday. Today is one and the last one till aug. :(
*HAPPY VESAK DAY!
