Before the clock strikes twelve, here's my birthday wishes for Satoru a.k.a Edwin.
Happy Birthday to you! May all your wishes come true! =D
Entry and photos of our Science Centre trip may probably be uploaded tomorrow due to my hectic school project.
P/S: I won't be attending school -for the first time- tomorrow!
P/P/S: I happen to read Xiaxue's latest blog entry, and realised that she had photoshopped an image of MR BEAN!
Gahh..

Despo... ...
Geez, my entries are getting more and more "wordy"... Hopefully no one gets bored after reading. Haha.
I am recently in the "craze" of searching for options which will enable me to change for a better course. Whenever I logged online, the first thing I would think of is to search for opportunities and solution(s).
Although I had been repeating myself numerous times about changing courses (Since Year 1!), I can't believe I'm really taking action- finally.
Yes. I submitted enquiries a few days ago, and another e-mail today to my school's Admissions Office. I poured out my woes, described my current situation, and sounded quite desperate for assistance.
Finally- after waiting for what seemed like centuries, I got a reply from the school.
Disappointment.
I was told that I could apply under the DAE (Direct Admissions Exercise), but with a distinction in Mathematics if I did not meet the eligibility grade for English. (It is like exchanging Mathematics grade with English's.)
But the MAJOR problem I'm facing now is, BOTH MY ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS GRADES DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS!
I feel so lost... I had attained "B" grades for my other subsequent subjects, such as Combined Humanities and Art. The only consolation I have currently is my A grade in my Chinese Language. (Which I'm happy with it.)
But will they care about my grades for the other subjects? The only thing that is of importance to them are the grades for English and Mathematics.
I really feel like banging against the wall when I think about my English grade. I've never thought that I will fall into the hands of English in "O" levels.
That is why the only choice for me is to retake the subject again in 2009 as a private candidate.
Indeed, time and tide waits for no man.
I will face the fate of watching all my friends graduate, while I'm still desperately seeking for assistance.
A lot of people have been advising me to continue with my current course, and bear with it for another year.
I do agree, but nothing is gonna hinder me from seeking other courses. I will not be giving up total hope - yet. However, I am now in the risk of retaining should I fail any of my modules.
That was the most worrying part. If the unfortunate happens, I will jolly well quit my course. I really could not bear to see myself repeating the same module for another year again.
I feel like I've changed- for the worst.
In the past during my primary and secondary education, I will never be this desperate - no matter how tough studies may be. Problems such as hating school, quitting studies and such were totally out of the question.
Little did I know that I will take the wrong route after my "O" levels, and become what I am now.
Honestly speaking, I could not keep up with the pace of my lectures, and I already feel the "disconnection" from my classmates.
I know I would've at least attained a PASS grade should I work harder, but where am I going to find the motivation if my interest is JUST not there?
I'm beginning to isolate myself in class, and even I myself dislike my attitude towards studies. I shouldn't be like this. But I'm really at a loss. Life is really going downhill when one loses total interest in what he/she is doing now.
I'd cried, and even had silly thoughts of opening my classroom window to jump down. (On a second thought, I may end up paralysing myself instead as my classroom is only at the 4th storey =_= Ahh, well..)
But OF COURSE, all these are just IMAGINARY. (I believe a lot of people- maybe even YOU-bear suicidal thoughts when encountering life at its lowest peak, right?!) In fact, there's a report in Shin Min Daily News today, about a boy resorting to suicide when he couldn't get into his desired choice of something he was interested in. He was in a similar situation as me, in terms of doing something that are of no interest to him.
BUT WAITTT!!!
I do treasure my life, and committing suicide because of studies is just PLAIN silly. (What do you think you are, Experience Product Design?!)
Furthermore, I wouldn't have the guts to. (But sometimes I really hope to end all these. My future is at risk, for fear of my career. WHAT and WHERE am I going to be, 10 years down the road?)
I see no point in studying a course which does not cater to my passion and interest! Yes, I envy all my classmates who can "tahan " till this stage. Well, kudos to you.
Looking at it in a more optimistic-ally way, maybe this is just part and parcel of my life. Its just an obstacle that I am fated to overcome it myself, and whether or not I can change it depends on me, myself.
I am determined to pursue my dreams and interest in every mean(s) possible!
P/S: I am sorry for posting such emotional entries nowadays. I could no longer feel the cheerful-ness inside me @ school. I lose my temper easily, and became such an obnoxious girl. Yesterday, I resulted to a pathetic stage of having to find a group for an upcoming project-when everyone else had already found theirs.
Of course, who wishes to be in the same group as me? Pathetically, I was the last one in class with no group at all. My classmates had to resort to drawing lots, etc, mainly because of me. If I have a choice, I will just tell my lecturer to let me have my work done individually, or rather, give me a flat 0 grade. (But he had said it was impossible since it is a major project.)
I was then pressured by my classmates to choose between them. I was in a state of confusion, and broke down unwillingly. I did not mean to cry, but I'm really feeling sorry for myself for going through such unneccessary hassle - just to form a group.
People tend to get the wrong idea of me, being a lazy, dependant-on-groupmates girl. Let me tell you, I am NOT! I also can't help it if some group members do everything by themselves beforehand, right?
I will SHOW you what I'm really made of. SCREW YOU.

Harsh Time... ...
Alright, I'm admitedly "half-dead" at the time I'm typing this current entry.
My heart was - and still AM- thumping fast, together with the feeling of adrenaline rush.
Well, I might be exagerrating a lil', but despite these, I'm proud to say that I had finally handed in my assignments!
Yeah, I'd got my desserts today when I failed to hand in my assignments on time. Every moment seemed crucial while I was rushing through the overdue assignments.
Believe it or not... ... Just when I was nearing to the finishing of my assignments ON TIME, an accident occurred which led to the power from my laptop to cease. (My friend had actually wanted to help me with my stuff, but the power ceased when she turned my laptop to face her.)
I can guarantee I had never felt such distress in my life at that moment. I grasped her hand, and shook the laptop. Not to forget my screamings,too. It was a total disaster for me.
FOR A MOMENT which seemed like hours, I thought I had lost all my assignment files for good. (I have had this experience before and sadly though, files created using the program could not be recovered.)
I was overwhelmed with emotions - terrified, horrified, fear... It was like the whole world had collapsed on me all of a sudden.
I almost broke out in tears. I was soooo CLOSE to submitting it on time.
Fortunately enough, I had saved one of the photoshop files that was required for print-out in my thumbdrive. Immediately, I passed to a friend who was next to me for printing.
Just when I see a flicker of hope still, a problem occurred with the printer - JUST AT THAT VERY MINUTE. This led to more desperation.
To cut the long story short, the printer started working again with thanks to one of my classmates, but I was already LATE in my submission. Furthermore, I only had one print-out to submit, and the rest of the files were gone due to the power cut-off from my laptop.
Infuriated, I went into my lecturer's office and handed in what was left of my work. In fact,n I had already prepared myself for the worst.
"I only have this to submit to you. The rest all gone."
That was what I told the lecturer, whom gave me a face that spelt "displeasure". Though she is a lady with few words, I could tell that she was disappointed in me and my work.
Nevertheless, I went back to class and switched on my laptop again.
I could not believe my eyes when I got a prompt notification telling me that the program had actually auto-recovered my files! (This has not happen to me before!) I was ECSTATIC, and my heart was jumping with joy.
Immediately, I edited the files, saved it, and rushed back to the office.
I told my lecturer about it, and the description of the prompt.
I heaved a sigh of relief. Really thank god for saving what was left of my life!
I cannot afford to let this happen again!
P/S: I am aiming to apply for DAE application next year, and hopefully able to appeal successfully for the course I'm yearning for. I wouldn't mind starting all over from Year 1 again, as long as I can get into my desired course! Trust me, I can't survive much more in my current course. As days went by, I just feel more and MORE foreign to my class.
I know I will have to leave my dear friends behind if I managed to successfully transfer, but I must learn to let go.
Design may be a suitable route for some of my friends, but not for me. Of course, I would very much wish that I am interested in my current course, but that would be a self-delusion.
Please, dear god, let me realise my dreams. I promise I will work hard in life going to a course that I am REALLY interested in.

Tired!
Ahh, I am dog-tired! (Nonetheless, I have had a good sleep yesterday! =D)
Okay, so it was Chin Seng's suggestion to get ourselves a towel so that we could use it as a tool to "cover up" the birthday girl's eyes. (Credits to Benjamin for sponsoring the towel. LOL)
Yesterday was such fun! Wen and I got invited to Shi Yun's BBQ Birthday party, in which we played the major role of "leading" the birthday girl all the way from Jurong Point to the destination (Pitrra's house) - via a cab!
Okay, so it was Chin Seng's suggestion to get ourselves a towel so that we could use it as a tool to "cover up" the birthday girl's eyes. (Credits to Benjamin for sponsoring the towel. LOL)
Wen and I had such a hard time trying to maintain and control the towel from slipping down her face! Each time we felt the towel was falling, we had to pause and pushed it back up again. (We definitely do not want to risk spoiling the long-planned surprise!)
Birthday girl a.k.a Shi Yun was on all smiles during the journey. (She must be tingling with excitement to know what was awaiting before her! Hehe)
We managed to lead her succesfully to Pitrra's house downstairs, whereby some of the invited guests had already arrived and started the BBQ pit.

THE MOMENT finally came when we stopped her at the entrance, and everyone was preparing themselves with party poppers in our hands. The cue was signalled, and everyone popped their poppers! WEE~
Finally, Shi Yun was able to "get rid" of the towel from her sight to reveal the surprise before her.
Well... Of course, this party wouldn't be made possible without the help from Pitrra and Chin Seng's planning. The food was great, (especially the GIGANTIC chocolate cake) and I enjoyed catching up the times with my fellow friends.
I hope that Shi Yun enjoyed herself to the fullest! (Ahh, that's our main aim, wasn't it? =p)

Gaahh~ I actually intended to blog longer, but my eyes are almost closing at this point of time. I just got back from a photoshoot, with thanks to Satoru's companion again! I'm really apologetic having to trouble you everytime for the shoots. No word(s) can express my gratitude to you! =D~
Today's photoshoot was a bit different from those that I had been previously. It was based on a HORROR theme, whereby I got the opportunity to be in the atmosphere of a BELATED HALLOWEEN. (I even had a vampiric shot with Satoru, with him as my "blood-sucking" victim. LOL. Kudos to you!)
I'm looking forward to the pictures, AND will share them in my blog once they're ready!
In the meantime, I guess I have to go for my appointment with sleepy-king in dreamland now. Toodles!

Internship sourcing
While I was sourcing for internship applications a minute ago, I came across a posted ad by a media company, which I found it funny in a "weird" way. LOL.
As posted: (Unedited!)
During the internship period, you will be exposed to these areas:
Responsibilities:
Hmm ... you'll be exposed to:
-buying coffee & doughnuts (Doughnuts?! Okay, I like the straightforward-ness in there.)
-impromptu office volleyball (I don't know what is that, but it sounds like playing volleyball in the office?!)
-well-intentioned, low-level swearing (Good as educational purpose for rude and vulgar people, I guess?)
-tangential conversations
-repetitive online research
-news writing
-industry conferences
-trade exhibitions
-alcohol (So good ah?)
Wow, those peeps working at this company sure are a bunch of interesting people, I suppose?

Singapore Discovery Centre Trip - Sponsored by OMY
*Warning! Looong entry with lots of photos ahead! =D *
Gosh, I really had a SUPER DUPER FUN day on 15th November 2008 (Saturday!) at the Singapore Discovery Centre, with THANKS to OMY! I'm so touched that everything was sponsored, including the Yummy-licious pizza and chicken wings lunch! This entry is specially dedicated to OMY! =D~
I had brought Wen along as my partner! (I hope you had fun too!) Thanks to her camera, I am able to produce sooo many pictures for this entry!
And our journey begins.... (Whoohoo!)
The event was supposed to start at 11.30am, and we were led to a "loyalty classroom" by a nice lady named Gene, which is located inside the centre. (Yeah, what a nice name for a classroom! Haha!)
As we were the first few who reached, I started exploring the room with great interest. (And snapped pictures,OF COURSE! Hehe.)
Okay, I know readers may think I am insane, taking pictures of the classroom. BUT HEY, they're all part of this GREAT memory! =P
Wen and I went to mingle with two other bloggers aka new friends (Xin Ting and Debbie! =D~) and sat together for lunch. The girls were so sociable and hyper! Haha. =P Had fun chatting with them though.
Afterwhich, we proceeded outside the room to another part of the SDC, with a pretty tour guide joining us. =D~ We were introduced some facts and stuff about Singapore.
Ahh, talk about the reminisence of the old times...
As we went further inside, there's a pretty neon light that flashes "SO SINGAPORE!"
Weets! I lovee it. Heh. The lights are pretty!
*Snap! Snap!* Fellow bloggers taking pictures excitedly!
We came across a huge semi-circle display that constantly changes into different colors. Yeah, it was in a shade of red when this picture was taken. Weets! Talking about beauty!
As we ventured deeper, we came across different 'game machines'. (Not sure what they're actually called though! *blushes*)
The game will be controlled by the player, and is portrayed onto the large upfront screen ! Wow, how cool is that?! (I managed to lay my hands on a game machine that is in Tamil language =_= Ah well, better than nothing.)
After playing awhile, we proceeded to a section that aroused my interest. Its so damn cool, I tell you! Yes, its the "Reporter's" section, whereby anyone can be an on-screen news reporter. Its the place where one can get the feeling of how being a news reporter is like.
(For shiok-ness only, lah. Haha)
The tour guide was urging us to try out. However, everyone was so pai seh (including me. LOL!) that no one volunteered.
In the end, one guy blogger was sabotaged... ... and Yup! He's ON!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... and ACTION!
Kudos for his courage! Some of us were laughing during the process, especially when we did not notice that there was actually a "play-back" function. Looking at the screen, we broke into hips of laughter.
Moving on to the next section, I saw 2 machines that look like game machines. Ahh, they're actually machines that allow the player(s) to control and prevent against a terrorism act in Singapore. Of course, everything is fictional, but brilliant! The "game" had actually used Raffles Place MRT Station as the target, and the player's mission is to check and avoid the tragedy of terrorism.
Ahh well, this player had actually failed in his mission. I saw Raffles Place MRT Station burst into flames! Gaaahh!!! *wails*
Well, I should say the SDC has indeed done a good job at invoking our fear of terrorism- and how to prevent this tragedy from happening. We got a chance to experience a "terrorist attack" in a simulator theatre, whereby the metallic ground we were standing will really SHAKE upon the screen showing a MRT burst into flames. Loud explosion was heard, and the ground shook . It was indeed scary.
Picture taken before the simulator show started. Notice that there is a metallic bar ? I guess its for support to prevent from falling/losing balance due to the shaking and vibration during the simulation show.)
This picture was captured when the screen showed a bomb timer ticking off... to 0:00!
After this was taken, there was a loud explosion and the ground underneath us vibrated.
Coming to the end, the screen showed tragic moments of firefighters rescuing victims. The sight was horrifying. Bodies were lying everywhere, and a young malay (or was it indian?) girl wailing loudly as she laid helplessly onto a rescuer's arms. Her parents were nowhere in sight. The MRT became a pile of rubber, and fire was burning. (Oh my goodness, every minor detail(s) look SOO real! It was as if this tragedy had actually happened.)
(I actually heaved a sigh of relief as I know everything was fake, and that the MRT did not really burst into flames from a terrorist attack. However, it deeply invoked my inner fear. What we saw can actually happen in real life! Ahh~ We must try our best to prevent it from happening!)
After we got out from the simulator theatre, we headed to another interactive games section. Interested visitors can try to participate in the game together through Q & A questions!
Wen and I did not participate in the game, but only joined as audiences. We chatted and kept taking photographs. LOL.
When the game ended, we headed to another section again. On our way, Wen captured this picture in which she thinks is beautiful. (I do agree that the spiral shape is cool indeed! =D!)
Soon after, we found ourselves in a "Star wars" looking place, with LOTS of computerised machines. Each and every one of us can get involved in DESIGNING the future Singapore! We were able to choose between BUGIS, VIVO and ORCHARD from the different specific machines.
Initially, I got the Bugis one, but later "converted" into Orchard when I chose a different machine.
Yeah, lah. It was me figuring the machine. (Psst, my Oreo tote cute hor? Zhong Hui's birthday present for ME! HAHA!)
Maybe out of boredom, Wen took a picture of the pretty lights in the studio.
Some random picture of building models on our way out: (Somehow it reminded me of my school current project!)
The guide took us to one of the most interesting and FUN part of SDC. Its the SDC's infamous robot, Little George!
This robot is brilliant. We were told that it can respond to simple questions, and the guide urged us to shoot questions.
Gene shot a hilarious question: DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
Little George replied: GIRLFRIEND? WOULD YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?
Everyone broke into laughter. We were then further told that this robot has its program updated every week or so, thus its able to respond to frequently asked questions. :)
Wow, speaking about modern technology! Hehe.
Okay, some random photo of me posing for the camera: =_= I know, its blur!
Some other photos of the last section:
And LOOK! Its a mini CAMERA!
We were able to take photos with different cool background provided inside a "neo-print like machine". I took 3/4 of my face just for testing, and I keyed in my email address into the system.
AND YES! The picture got delivered to my email when I got back home! :D
Right, there was one part which I did not take any photos as its a theatre. But just to blog about it, we watched 2 marvellous movies! One in 3-D (FLY ME TO THE MOON), and another in 2-D (Light Before Christmas) giant screen.
The 3-D one got me amazed! I had always wanted to experience a 3-D movie since I heard about it ages ago, and I finally had my chance that day! (WEETS!)
It was even better than I expected, the characters in the show looked so REAL, just as though they're RIGHT in front of me. Some audiences, including me, even tried to REACH OUT to "touch" the characters. LOL.
Not only did we explore the SDC that day, we even got the opportunity to get onto a guided bus tour... ...AND TO THE ARMY MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE!
Sad to say, we only stayed around the museum for 30 minutes due to time constraint. Nevertheless, we still benefited from the museum trip :)
When we got back to the SDC, we were brought to the XD THEATRE, which will only be opened to public on 1st December 2008. Thus, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to blog about the details here. Anyway, we were the first few to experience and preview the excitement of it! Really can't thank Omy enough! :) The XD Theatre is defintely ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE thingy I'd ever experienced. The captivating moments, etc. HOW I WISH TO GET A 2nd CHANCE AT IT AGAIN!!!
Before our day ended, four of us (Wen, Xin Ting, Debbie and ME!) "sneaked" to a real gun/rifle game section. Its the place where we got the chance to actually carry a REAL HEAVY rifle and gun used by the military. Each game costs $6. (A bit expensive!)
Though we did not play it, the guy tending the section was so nice and friendly. He even offered to help us take pictures with the guns and rifles!!
The real deal
We also took some more photos of us with the rifles/guns, but I look quite unglam in them. Heh heh. Thus, Im not uploading! ;p
Before I end it off, I would like to express my thanks once again to OMY, for giving and sponsoring us the opportunities to explore fascinating stuff. I will never forget that fun-filled day!
I hope that we will have a chance to meet again for future outings/events, that is, if I'm still so fortunate to be selected again! =D
The group picture!
真是高興我能夠體驗到一個前所未有的感覺!
Gosh, I really had a SUPER DUPER FUN day on 15th November 2008 (Saturday!) at the Singapore Discovery Centre, with THANKS to OMY! I'm so touched that everything was sponsored, including the Yummy-licious pizza and chicken wings lunch! This entry is specially dedicated to OMY! =D~
I had brought Wen along as my partner! (I hope you had fun too!) Thanks to her camera, I am able to produce sooo many pictures for this entry!
And our journey begins.... (Whoohoo!)
The event was supposed to start at 11.30am, and we were led to a "loyalty classroom" by a nice lady named Gene, which is located inside the centre. (Yeah, what a nice name for a classroom! Haha!)
As we were the first few who reached, I started exploring the room with great interest. (And snapped pictures,OF COURSE! Hehe.)
Okay, I know readers may think I am insane, taking pictures of the classroom. BUT HEY, they're all part of this GREAT memory! =P
Wen and I went to mingle with two other bloggers aka new friends (Xin Ting and Debbie! =D~) and sat together for lunch. The girls were so sociable and hyper! Haha. =P Had fun chatting with them though.
Afterwhich, we proceeded outside the room to another part of the SDC, with a pretty tour guide joining us. =D~ We were introduced some facts and stuff about Singapore.
Ahh, talk about the reminisence of the old times...
As we went further inside, there's a pretty neon light that flashes "SO SINGAPORE!"
Weets! I lovee it. Heh. The lights are pretty!
*Snap! Snap!* Fellow bloggers taking pictures excitedly!
We came across a huge semi-circle display that constantly changes into different colors. Yeah, it was in a shade of red when this picture was taken. Weets! Talking about beauty!
As we ventured deeper, we came across different 'game machines'. (Not sure what they're actually called though! *blushes*)
The game will be controlled by the player, and is portrayed onto the large upfront screen ! Wow, how cool is that?! (I managed to lay my hands on a game machine that is in Tamil language =_= Ah well, better than nothing.)
After playing awhile, we proceeded to a section that aroused my interest. Its so damn cool, I tell you! Yes, its the "Reporter's" section, whereby anyone can be an on-screen news reporter. Its the place where one can get the feeling of how being a news reporter is like.
(For shiok-ness only, lah. Haha)
The tour guide was urging us to try out. However, everyone was so pai seh (including me. LOL!) that no one volunteered.
In the end, one guy blogger was sabotaged... ... and Yup! He's ON!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... and ACTION!
Kudos for his courage! Some of us were laughing during the process, especially when we did not notice that there was actually a "play-back" function. Looking at the screen, we broke into hips of laughter.
Moving on to the next section, I saw 2 machines that look like game machines. Ahh, they're actually machines that allow the player(s) to control and prevent against a terrorism act in Singapore. Of course, everything is fictional, but brilliant! The "game" had actually used Raffles Place MRT Station as the target, and the player's mission is to check and avoid the tragedy of terrorism.
Ahh well, this player had actually failed in his mission. I saw Raffles Place MRT Station burst into flames! Gaaahh!!! *wails*
Well, I should say the SDC has indeed done a good job at invoking our fear of terrorism- and how to prevent this tragedy from happening. We got a chance to experience a "terrorist attack" in a simulator theatre, whereby the metallic ground we were standing will really SHAKE upon the screen showing a MRT burst into flames. Loud explosion was heard, and the ground shook . It was indeed scary.
Picture taken before the simulator show started. Notice that there is a metallic bar ? I guess its for support to prevent from falling/losing balance due to the shaking and vibration during the simulation show.)
This picture was captured when the screen showed a bomb timer ticking off... to 0:00!
After this was taken, there was a loud explosion and the ground underneath us vibrated.
Coming to the end, the screen showed tragic moments of firefighters rescuing victims. The sight was horrifying. Bodies were lying everywhere, and a young malay (or was it indian?) girl wailing loudly as she laid helplessly onto a rescuer's arms. Her parents were nowhere in sight. The MRT became a pile of rubber, and fire was burning. (Oh my goodness, every minor detail(s) look SOO real! It was as if this tragedy had actually happened.)
(I actually heaved a sigh of relief as I know everything was fake, and that the MRT did not really burst into flames from a terrorist attack. However, it deeply invoked my inner fear. What we saw can actually happen in real life! Ahh~ We must try our best to prevent it from happening!)
After we got out from the simulator theatre, we headed to another interactive games section. Interested visitors can try to participate in the game together through Q & A questions!
Wen and I did not participate in the game, but only joined as audiences. We chatted and kept taking photographs. LOL.
When the game ended, we headed to another section again. On our way, Wen captured this picture in which she thinks is beautiful. (I do agree that the spiral shape is cool indeed! =D!)
Soon after, we found ourselves in a "Star wars" looking place, with LOTS of computerised machines. Each and every one of us can get involved in DESIGNING the future Singapore! We were able to choose between BUGIS, VIVO and ORCHARD from the different specific machines.
Initially, I got the Bugis one, but later "converted" into Orchard when I chose a different machine.
Yeah, lah. It was me figuring the machine. (Psst, my Oreo tote cute hor? Zhong Hui's birthday present for ME! HAHA!)
Maybe out of boredom, Wen took a picture of the pretty lights in the studio.
Some random picture of building models on our way out: (Somehow it reminded me of my school current project!)
The guide took us to one of the most interesting and FUN part of SDC. Its the SDC's infamous robot, Little George!
This robot is brilliant. We were told that it can respond to simple questions, and the guide urged us to shoot questions.
Gene shot a hilarious question: DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
Little George replied: GIRLFRIEND? WOULD YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?
Everyone broke into laughter. We were then further told that this robot has its program updated every week or so, thus its able to respond to frequently asked questions. :)
Wow, speaking about modern technology! Hehe.
Okay, some random photo of me posing for the camera: =_= I know, its blur!
Some other photos of the last section:
And LOOK! Its a mini CAMERA!
We were able to take photos with different cool background provided inside a "neo-print like machine". I took 3/4 of my face just for testing, and I keyed in my email address into the system.
AND YES! The picture got delivered to my email when I got back home! :D
Right, there was one part which I did not take any photos as its a theatre. But just to blog about it, we watched 2 marvellous movies! One in 3-D (FLY ME TO THE MOON), and another in 2-D (Light Before Christmas) giant screen.
The 3-D one got me amazed! I had always wanted to experience a 3-D movie since I heard about it ages ago, and I finally had my chance that day! (WEETS!)
It was even better than I expected, the characters in the show looked so REAL, just as though they're RIGHT in front of me. Some audiences, including me, even tried to REACH OUT to "touch" the characters. LOL.
Not only did we explore the SDC that day, we even got the opportunity to get onto a guided bus tour... ...AND TO THE ARMY MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE!
Sad to say, we only stayed around the museum for 30 minutes due to time constraint. Nevertheless, we still benefited from the museum trip :)
When we got back to the SDC, we were brought to the XD THEATRE, which will only be opened to public on 1st December 2008. Thus, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to blog about the details here. Anyway, we were the first few to experience and preview the excitement of it! Really can't thank Omy enough! :) The XD Theatre is defintely ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE thingy I'd ever experienced. The captivating moments, etc. HOW I WISH TO GET A 2nd CHANCE AT IT AGAIN!!!
Before our day ended, four of us (Wen, Xin Ting, Debbie and ME!) "sneaked" to a real gun/rifle game section. Its the place where we got the chance to actually carry a REAL HEAVY rifle and gun used by the military. Each game costs $6. (A bit expensive!)
Though we did not play it, the guy tending the section was so nice and friendly. He even offered to help us take pictures with the guns and rifles!!
The real deal
We also took some more photos of us with the rifles/guns, but I look quite unglam in them. Heh heh. Thus, Im not uploading! ;p
Before I end it off, I would like to express my thanks once again to OMY, for giving and sponsoring us the opportunities to explore fascinating stuff. I will never forget that fun-filled day!
I hope that we will have a chance to meet again for future outings/events, that is, if I'm still so fortunate to be selected again! =D

100th Post! *Gasp*
Gosh, I just realized that this is my 100th entry! (Congrats, Catherine! LOL)
Am not really in the mood for the past two days due to weird temperament changes. I get worked up easily, and I hope I did not offend anyone during this period of time! (I'm sorry!)
I really hate to admit, but I think I've lost interest completely in my studies. HELP!
I feel so withdrawn from my classmates and all.
The only noob who understand nuts about designing despite being in the course for 2 years. (I can guarantee you that a Year 1 student knows a lot more than I do. Pathethic, right? But it's true.)
I think I desperately need some help, but I don't even have the motivation. For once, I really sense the fear in being the only one flunking the course. (I KNOW I need to buck up IMMEDIATELY as the danger sign is already signalling, but procrastination and laziness is killing me!)
My mind is already trying to flee... FLEE away from schoolwork, and enjoy life to the fullest. I want to indulge in activities that are of INTEREST to me... Things that are able to motivate me and strive me towards the excellence of life.
NOW, WHAT LIFE AM I LIVING?! (I'm just clinging on to the cliff. Just one wrong step and I will find myself falling all the way down.)
Sometimes, I wonder if there is a problem with my understanding skills. I just couldn't simply understand stuff that normal people are able to.
I just don't see the way they do.
While people are working hard at school, where am I?
Let me tell you, I'm sleeping.
I don't find myself doing any school work unless being forced to, and most of the time, I'm either eating, surfing the net and sleeping at home! Yes, there isn't anything called SCHOOLWORK in my world. Now I'm going insane, and worried. My life is going haywire, with no specific direction(s). I've got no goal in life now. How pathetic. (But I don't need anyone's sympathy!)
Where am I heading to?... I wonder.
One of the major wrong steps that I'd moved is choosing the wrong course in my poly. I hope no one will commit the same mistake as I Did. There is no turning back now. I'm stuck. Really stuck. I think I am breaking down anytime soon.

Make-Up Session with Ah Ding! *loves*
Met up with Ah Ding aka Ven for our very first make-up lesson. The teacher is great! Thanks for all the guidance and effort in teaching us. Look at my Ah Ding! Doesn't she look great?! I was constantly singing praises of her beautiful eyes!
(Yeah, I envy her big, big eyes! Hahaha)
We were amazed when we got to the condominium. The inner part looks like a hotel! :D Gosh, only wealthy people can only afford to live there, I guess?!
We were trying very hard to concentrate on the stuff being taught, such as the basics of make-up, drawing of eyes, contouring, etc etc! (Its only a pity that I can't afford so many make-up kits at the same time!)
Right... ....
After our 2-hour session, we headed downstairs and... ... CAM-WHORE!!
Love the eyelashes. Hehe.
Exhausted from cam-whoring, we went to Bugis for shopping. (Yipee!)
I guess we shopped for quite some time, as it was already night-time when we were about to go home. LOL.
BUT! We enjoyed the SUPER DELICIOUS food bought @ Bugis! (Especially the fries soaked in the almost-heavenly NACHO CHEESE!)
I was on complete EUPHORIA while eating! Ah Ding fed me the fries throughout. Thanks! SO sweet of you. Hahaha.
Wooohoo..The YellaFellas fries! NICE! (Psst, we shall go try other flavours some other time, okay?! Haha)
Melted cheese... Ooooh..
This was one of the so-called cookies we bought before the Nacho Cheese Fries. Yeah, they are definitely not cheap!
Anyway, had a fun time with Ah Ding today. Thanks for the superb time! AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FRIDAY SHOPPING SPREE! WAHAHA. *oops*
P/S: Ah dinggg.... You are especially beautiful today :D

On a serious note... ...
To: You-Know-Who-You-Are,
If you are still wondering OR assuming that I am MAD at you, so be it.
But well... ...
On a second thought, why should I be infuriated? What do you think I can gain from it? I'm not the one getting SLAPPED. So yeah, what right do I have to be angry? *laughs*
I'm only playing the role as a bystander, but I suppose I have the rights to voice my opinions, yeah?
If you want to know the specific problem that lies with you, take this:
Judging from the way you dealt with things, its wayyy overboard. Although I am only hearing an one-sided story from YOUR point of view, but I can justify that no matter what problem it is, its still YOUR fault in resorting to violence. Yeap, no doubt about that.
Ask yourself, is violence really the way to solve things you are unsatisfied with?
I may not be sure if you are in remorse, but it was truly unbearable when you told me what you did - and still boasting about it. Be glad that I am not disclosing your name.
I knew you were angry at me when I told you off that time, but I don't care. Seriously. If I din' care for you as a friend, will I still spend my time (and MONEY!) typing and sending all those long messages- just to (hopefully) knock some sense into you?
Although I do understand that humans' temperaments can be "unstable" sometimes, but can you please (for goodness sake) at least have some self-discipline?
So what if you have a hot temper? Everyone has it. Even me! So you are telling everyone that having a hot temper gives you the authority to hit people? Great.
I am sorry to say that maybe you had confided in the wrong person at that point of time. I am very serious when it comes to filial piety. I can tell you-and everyone- that I DETEST people, regardless whether YOU are a guy or girl, being unfilial to their parents.
(I admit that I may not be the most filial daughter in the world, but at least I won't hurt my family the way you did- NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.)
To add insult to injury, YOU were still boasting and gloating over your "victory" in doing something that you NEVER should have done. Where have your morales gone to?
As a friend, I hope to see a more optimistic side of you, and NOT one who is always in depression. Why is it that the positive side of you DOES not last at all? In one minute, you are proving yourself to be a positive person, and another minute, you are back to square one AGAIN.
I understand things are difficult for you as an adult, but you are always bottling up your feelings, and sometimes even requesting people to IGNORE you. (Which I really will, if things really get out of hand.)
So you want to keep everything to yourself? Go ahead. Go bottle up for all I care, since you are not telling anyway.
AND YOU THINK YOU CAN APPEASE THE SITUATION BY SENDING ME A SMS, indicating "I will not contact you anymore... blah blah blah?"
In reply to YOUR sms, I am sorry to say that it gives me the feeling as though our friendship means no significance to YOU at all. You did not even BOTHER to give yourself an explanation nor the current situation, and just simply told me that you will not contact me anymore.
Can you imagine how I felt when you said that? Its a fortunate thing that my blood vessels did not burst at that point of time!
Right. From what I understand about YOUR character, you must be thinking, "So what do you want me to do?"
What I've got to say is, nothing. NOTHING. The decision lies in you. I'm just typing this entry to let YOU understand what my feelings were towards the situation.
And I do not need your apology or whatsoever, as you did absolutely nothing wrong to me. Just put it this way: I am someone who detest unfilial children, and I will get worked up (VERY) should I encounter this kind of situation.
Honestly, I am really disappointed that you have become someone beyond my imagination. I'd always thought you are different from any other typical guys I know, someone who never fails to bring a smile to my face whenever I spend time with.
But how long can my impression of you last?
Well, sometimes people who commit mistakes DO deserve a second chance, and I see no reason of why you should not. It may be difficult to erase away that almost-permanent bad image of YOU, but if you were to ask me, I DID- and still DO, appreciate our friendship.
I don't need YOU telling me not to worry as you will not contact me anymore, because I will NOT. (Duh!)
Its no doubt that our friendship is detortiating , but I see no sign(s) of sincerity from you. Sometimes I really hate the way you deal with things, and not taking any initiative in treasuring it at all.
Well, maybe its just me, ja?
Just appreciate everything you have in your life- and get on with it. Your family and friends will always be there supporting you and every decision you make. Though I'm not sure if you see me as a friend now, but I will still wish you the best for your future endeavours.
As a sidenote, I do hope that this entry will not be taken into offence because its just a revealation of MY feelings. I am not typing this to ANGER nor AGITATE you, but to let you wake up and come to your senses.
Its not the time when I can just sit there and ignore you for the rest of my life, right? Hopefully you can make sense of the message I am trying to bring across, and improve on your attitude.
I will not stop you from contacting me, though. Should you need to confront or ANY opinion(s) you might have, just drop me a message in any way you prefer.
If you are still wondering OR assuming that I am MAD at you, so be it.

Cookie Monster..Cookie! Cookie!
Gosh! Look what I found and bought at a reasonable price this afternoon?! (Not the DS Lite =_=)
.
.
.
YES! I bought a cookie monster at a school bazaar today! (OKay, pardon me, I know I sound excited, but this softie is super uber cute AND I fall in love with it the first moment I saw it!)
Ahh, I can't stop myself from smiling at this cute cookie monster looking at me, with outstretched arms. (Kind of reminds me of a "voodoo doll")
Oops. I am going berserk over plush softies again. I don't know why, but I get excited easily when I see soft toys. Despite the fact that I have a lot already inside my collection at home, I still keep on purchasing MORE! =D~
And some random overdue photos that I'd taken:
I took a double take while walking past the school library last week. I din' expect to see my name up there amongst other names on the notice board, as the contest I'd participated was quite some time ago. (The board was removed when I went there today.)
And...
Cookies from Candy Empire- Given by Ven (AH DING) and CHER (AH DONG), for Zi Min (Ah Chiang) and ME!!
Yeah, it was a belated birthday gift from my two precious "daughters", in which it was to be shared with Ah Chiang and me. The cookies are nice and delicious, with different assorted flavors to choose from! I've took a picture of it as a momento.
Thanks! I'm super uber touched! =D~

It was originally a keychain, but I took it out and modified with my own hook to hang it on my DS Lite. (So its gonna be my "DS companion"! LOL).
In terms of material-wise, it has a kind of "rugged" look, which makes it differerent from other cookie monsters I see. (But I hope the "rugged" fur won't start falling off as it looks like it might! =X)Ahh, I can't stop myself from smiling at this cute cookie monster looking at me, with outstretched arms.

Photoshoot.
Had my 2nd photoshoot @ The Singapore National Musuem- This time with Alvin, assisted by Satoru!
(I didn't have much makeup on, as I don't know even the basics of it! Thus some of the pictures turn out unwell, especially the close-ups. )
He's so efficient at uploading the pictures. Gosh. Haha.
I will "meditate" with you!! (Oh, and did I mention that this picture actually MOVES? His eyes moved- what a beauty of an art!!
I have lots more pictures! BUT I'M NOT GOING TO UPLOAD! LALALA~
Satoru was also on some shots with me, but I am not sure if I am able to upload it to my blog as I did not seek his permission! Haha.
We were fortunate enough to capture some shots at a section inside the museum, before we were actually shoo-ed out. We had ventured into a prohibited area! XD.
Alvin was apologising, but we managed to keep the shots! MUWAHAHA.
Anyway, did anyone have a fun HALLOWEEN last night?
I DID!!! I mean, during the day! (Haha)
Thanks to my classmates who were so cooperative in dressing in BLACK for the event. It was hilarious as we decided to gather together and walked the foodcourts! Imagine that, a bunch of unknown people in black apparels. If we were to walk the MRT stations, I believe we may get arrested. =P~
Hui lin was so bold in suggesting that we SCREAM "Happy Halloween" to everyone in Foodcourt 2. After the counts, some screamed... and we managed to catch a little... ... attention. (But people might mistook us as crazy fellows for all we know!)
Sickening Rui Hon made me laughed the most. His unexpected stunt took me aback.
Fancy that- He went to four different tables and said "HELLO! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!" to the students who were eating. Kudos to the thick-skinned face!
OH NO. We behaved just like the crazy fellows unleashed! But hey, it was FUN. It has been ages since I last laughed like that, with tears rolling!
I love the way how halloween is getting popular in Singapore nowadays. (Even though there isn't any trick-or-treating.) At least its fun seeing humans all dressed up for the event, and best of all, enjoying it!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
(I didn't have much makeup on, as I don't know even the basics of it! Thus some of the pictures turn out unwell, especially the close-ups. )
He's so efficient at uploading the pictures. Gosh. Haha.
I will "meditate" with you!! (Oh, and did I mention that this picture actually MOVES? His eyes moved- what a beauty of an art!!
I have lots more pictures! BUT I'M NOT GOING TO UPLOAD! LALALA~
Satoru was also on some shots with me, but I am not sure if I am able to upload it to my blog as I did not seek his permission! Haha.
