Today

Today was very tiring we went to ecp but it was fun cos we rented bikes and went from one end of ecp to the other only archi students can do that. Our first studio outing. Hahaha. Then we went artfriend in ZiXu's BMW cool car. We were dropped off and we picked up a lot of stuff and now I know what the red line on the roads mean it means that only buses can go there. Sya can drive. Anyway, we got back in a taxi and started on our (diediedie) abstract site model.

Went out at 820 (slept at 3.30 cos watched a movie with Sila my own fault hehe) (50 first dates sweet show) and came back to hall at 9pm. Lucky Pig called me up or I wouldn't have woken. Hahaha. Now I have to start on AKICON. Nice. I have to finish akicon tonite. At least the pencil drawings.

There's a story my mum told me once:

There was a man who was starving in the streets. A kind old woman gave him four baos to eat. He ate one, and he still felt really hungry. So he ate another one. And then another...and finally when he ate the last one he felt full. He sighed to himself and said: Oh!! I am so stupid! If only I had eaten this final bao first, I would have three baos saved for tmr!! How stupid I am!!

I do think stories are really good stuff.

Another story from Mummy:

There was a little girl whose mother died. Her father married again, and the stepmother was very bad to her. Everyday, the stepmother would make her eat really oily food. Everything was fried and wallowing in oil. The next door lady saw the child and was sorry for her. So every evening, when the stepmother was out collecting water from the well, she would give the child a cup of hot chinese tea. This happened for many years, and the child grew up and grew up healthy! The oily food had less effect on her because of the Chinese tea!

Haih. Yeah, I'm missing family. This story kind of reminds me of my old neighbor at my old house. We called her popo, and she was very nice to us. She had a retarded grandchild called Sum Poh. He went to the same school as us, and he sat the same school van as us. His neighbor also took the same school van, and his nickname was gorilla, because he was big and very dark. He had a very pretty younger sister who was fair as anything and everyone compared them to the Gorilla and his sister in Slam Dunk!

Anyway, Popo passed away, and then Sum Poh was taken away. I'm not sure how they are doing now.

Whenever I dream I won't dream of my new house, every time I would be back in my old house. Once I dreamed that there was an extra wing to my house, and I thought to myself: When I wake up I'll check it out! Hehe. But there wasn't an extra wing...

It's sold now, and been renovated. Looks so different.

I haven't thought of those times for a while. But these memories are still there. Maybe when I'm old I will go through these thoughts over and over again. Hehe. You know, one thing I really want when I am old is that I will have laughter lines. My mom has them. I never noticed until I saw mom and her sister together. They look fairly alike except mummy is really dark and aunty is fair...but mummy has laughter lines while aunty doesn't. I rather like the laughter lines...maybe I'm just biased, hehe.

Aunty was really nice to me today, her and her family fetched me to Grandpas when they heard that 96 was not operating. And then now I have brands essence, packed food and fruits to boot. :) I was really lonely. I don't know why, but I really don't like being alone. I like being quiet, but I don't like being alone. Four days alone is really sad. I don't know how I'd last if it were longer. Daddy endured 60 days alone before, he said that the verses he memorized sustained him.

I have to start work! Interim crit is on Thursday. For Akicon I am going to con them by doing the same thing as LiRan. Haha. That would be less research.

Then there is the project for envi...my team members are very nice people though. I met them on Friday! I hope we get along! It's a fun project, but no doubt alot alot of work! Hehe. Ohh!! I forgot to mention I simply LOVE my Studio group this sem!!! It's such a nice group, every single person is so nice!! :) :)

Giving



Nice song from Moonlight Resonance!! 分分钟需要你!I like it very much hehe.

分分钟需要你 lyrics
歌手:林子祥

愿我会揸火箭带你到天空去
在太空中两人住
活到一千岁都一般心醉
有你在身边多乐趣

共你双双对好得尺好得意
地暗天昏当闲事
就算翻风雨只需睇到你
似见阳光千万里

有了你开心d 乜部都称心满意
咸鱼白菜也好好味
我与你永共聚分分钟需要你
你似是阳光空气

扮靓d皆因你癫癫地皆因你
为你甘心做傻事
扮下猩猩叫睇到乜都笑
有你在身边多乐趣

若有朝失左你花开都不美
愿到荒岛去长住
做个假的你天天都相对
对木头公仔做戏

有了你开心d 乜部都称心满意
咸鱼白菜也好好味
我与你永共聚分分钟需要你
你似是阳光空气

How do you measure the worth of a man, by how much he gained, or how much he gave?

Thuy told me it was by how much he gained by giving.

Hehe, I agree!! If you don't give, how can you gain? My mom told me once, that if I clench things in my hands and try to keep things, then I wouldn't be able to receive anything.

I think when we sacrifice of ourselves for others, we will always be rewarded, and because that reward is from God, you can be sure it will be a very, very good reward.

So I think it is good to give of yourself even though you may never seem to be repaid. The Chinese say, 好行有好报, and ultimately that will be true. In the eyes of the world it will not seem like you have been repaid. But you gained alot from just giving.


Yuta with his nerdy haircut...but he still looks kakuii!! :)

New Number

Hey people, Singapore number's changed.

83178378 loads of bhats haha.


Erm, Meei Yunn, haha, here's Yuta!! Aren't they both adorable?

I got Randy Chan!! He was my second choice heh. Actually I wanted him as my tutor, but then I also wanted to do Kampung Kapor so I put Tsuto first. Well heh. I'll be doing Kallang and Pakistani thing in Little India with Randy. Ee Jia is with Tsuto. Haih. Wish I could be her group mate again. Never mind, we can go site together.

Will you believe it there are four Malaysians in our group: me, Lai Mei, Carol and Pig. Whooo. And then LiRan from last studio is with us too. He and Wang Bin from China. Tania from Indon. Lol, we are the 'foreigners' Studio.

Gonna have great fun this sem!! (Argh, I just realized at least 5 of the students in my studio got an A for design) (Lai Mei says we can learn from them. Hehe. That's smart. So I will.)



Hahaha, well, the previous picture didn't have Yuta holding Bugsy...Bugsy is a bit disproportionate hor....

Watching Gokusen now. No Yuta, but there's that guy from Absolute Boyfriend in it. He's not bad, but no Yuta :(

Outlander

MEEEEEI YUNNNNNN!!!! I missed your brother's party!!!! SOOORRRRRIEEEE!!!! I called Lianne bout it haha, and then I forgot to inform you I wasn't going... T.T

I went out last night and had dinner and a movie with Faffy, Ann, Xin Yi, Victor and some new guy called Tyrone who was new to YA when I left for Singapore so never really talked to him before. So not new anymore, haha. Didn't take pics though. Anyway, for some reason Faffy had never eaten Kenny Rogers before, so we had Kenny Rogers, and Xin Yi got a 'buy two quarter chicken meals get one free quarter chicken meal' voucher so we went there. The food was Kenny Roger food, which was...well...Kenny Roger food, so not worth taking artistic pic-kies of, right? Alright, yeah. A bit sad I didn't take pic-kies.

Thanks Faff for the movie. This doesn't let you off Jogoya, though. Haha, maybe I'll extend the deadline one more year. That time you working hor. :p arr, forget it la, I'll never get Jogoya one. Thanks for the movie-lah.

We went and watched Outlander at Midvalley. I had never heard of the movie before Faffy said we were going to watch it, so had no idea what to expect. This movie kind of reminded me of the first movie I ever watched in Singapore: 'What was the title again?' Haha. I can't remember, actually. Watched it with Float people. It involved decapitated heads and bodies and stuff. This one started off with a dead whale, and then moved on to horse heads dripping in blood and finally to dead human bodies piled all over the place with disattached limbs. This one had a really ugly monster in it who had green blood (of all things) and who liked to kill people and pile them up in collections all over it's lair. It only ate non-heros/heroines fresh. If it was the hero/heroine they were left under piles of bodies alive to be eaten later.

VERY enlightening movie. The first word the alien who landed on earth said in 'Norse' was the F-word. So this was how I connected it to the float movie. Hahaha. Gosh, is it really that fun to watch people die? They call this entertainment.

Well, nice to meet with YA people again. Oh haha, I heard of something called wii for the first time yesterday. Weird thing which requires you to shake your wrist to hit a ball on the screen. I lost quite badly. Heh.


Adorablenesss!!!

Back to Singapore on Thursday. Will miss home!! Waaaaaaa-aaaaaaa-aaaaaaahaaaaah

I wonder wonder wonder

Dad likes to make strange statements at the dinner table. Mom likes to laugh at him. All of us put on sober faces and agree with him because he's dad and we have to respect him. :)

Well, today his statement (question) was this: "Why oh why are humans confined to this prison on earth, when we are meant to do so much more? Our galaxy is only one of many, many millions...why can't we go and visit those as well? Without all the knick knacks like space suits and rockets. And even then we cannot."

He proceeded to read some passages in the Bible of how Jesus and some men of God 'tele-ported' all over the place.

Well, maybe when we die and go to heaven God will let us travel and visit his vast creation... :)

Anyway, I saw some really nice pics of Thuy in Sweden just now, and I really want to visit there too!! Haha, if even on earth there is such vast and wonderful differences...imagine what the Master Architect did with all the other planets and stars and galaxies out there...

Heaven will be wonderful. Sometimes we may see on earth those little things that bring heaven to mind, and imagine those things magnified hundred, nay millionfold...

Gladness!!! :)

New Year Resolutions

I think...I think I won't write them here haha...

Well, about the exchange thing...I figure those unis aren't on the list dy (thanks Ah Pig for the update) (thanks for overturning my dreams) so I may have to wait and pray and hope they go up when I apply end of this year. This year. 2009.

Erm, hope that this new year will see me more mature and possessive of a better, more Godly character. And...and loads of other stuff. :)

I think I have to take a good look at my diet too. Not that I'm fat (I'm too skinny) but since nowadays there are skinny people who keel over with a heart attack when they turn 30 I think I better start looking more at what I eat. Fatty and processed foods are a nono. I think I'm sick of school food too. No more snacking, more self prepared food will be good. More fruits and vege. etc etc. I'm already 21!! I'm so old liao haha...kind of. 21 isn't too old. Oh well.

More discipline too. Haha. Not that I will spend all my time studying (argh, don't I do that already? Except for the Japanese drama part. And the random surfing part. And the die die must go out window shopping or I'll die of stress part) (haha, I think I can do away with random surfing, but not Jap dramas.) But I have to limit myself. Maybe I'll create a reward based system for myself where I watch dramas only after I finish something to do with schoolwork. Heh. But my schoolwork is so weird most of the time (it could mean anything from reading books, drawing, traveling to strange places or model making etc etc) hard to define. See how la. Then there is always hall stuff to do.

Well, glad i"ll be rooming with Sila again this sem!! I love rooming with her. I do miss Thuy, though!! I guess you simply cannot room with someone for three months and not feel some pangs when they leave! So nice, she's going to Sweden. I want to go Sweden.

My com is out of battery. Tata.

This pic is specially for gailgail and piangpiang:



Ok, photoshopping skills leave loads to be desired :(

Here's a lovely song!! A longgg time since I've heard this...though heaven and earth may fade away, Someone remains...

My Greatest Love Is You

Every new day
Your glory unfolds
Filling my eyes
With Your treasures untold
The beauty of holiness
Brings worship anew
My greatest love is You
Draw me deeper
Into Your grace
The river that flows
From the Holy Place
Wash over me
Cleansing me through
My greatest love is You
