6 weird facts....

tagged by alice...
this looks fun and seems like i must work my brain a bit for this....
hm...okay lemme start...
1. i hated vegetables but i started eating only after i came singapore...reason...? malu sama temen2....

2. i like to mix n match my own clothes, including the accessories... (yes, ini my sign of bimboticity...erh, is there such word??) but only when i'm alone in my room.... and i get excited if i manage to pull together a great look (though sometimes i may not dare to show what i've put together when i walked out of the room)

3. my palm n feet are constantly sweating excessively which makes me quite uncomfortable when i have to shake ppl's hands or when i have to dance.... anybody got any idea how to cure this??

4. i have too fast reaction that when i saw lightning striking, i can't stop myself from covering my ears (actually it's more like i'm scared lah...).

5. i hate talking on the phone coz i i cant hear the person on the other side clearly...so i get nervous n dunno how to reply....especially if the person talks in hokkien (such as my parents' frenz who called). i prefer talking face to face or chat online...
another thing is...most of the time i think through wad i wanna say before i actually says it... especially if i have to speak english...

6. my face is assymetrical... thanks to my mom who observed me so much.... (actually i didnt notice it until my mom told me so)

can i add one more?haiya, can lah!
7. if i listen to music, most of the time i will listen up for the interesting sound effects or accompaniments or the harmonisation when most ppl will just listen to the lyrics... (i dunno whether this is weird or not)

(it's indeed hard to come out with weird stuff abt yourself...haha...so try it!!)

Yeanching yeancing yeanching....







Yeanching!! shocked to see so many of your names on my blog!?!?!?

i only got time to "touch" my blog again after so long....n of course i have to write for u lah....
yeanching is one of my very supportive friends in my life in NUS

since we are both in chem engin, we see each other so often that there's no day without her face haha....jokin2

anyway, i feel that i owe yeanching so much...not owe things or money...but there are a lot of things that can only be felt.... her care, her talk, her presence, her support....everything lah.... even some things that i often take for granted coz i see her that often...

but i really miss the time when we shared the same roof in vhall..then had more fun together...
i feel that now we have a lot of uncommon experiences that make us feel far at times... (she's always busy with her hall stuff, i'm always "busy" with my pgp friends).... yah, basically, we spent less time together outside sch now...
but still, i really feel very comfortable sharing things with her.... as if we're always on the same frequency...

oh ya, wanna apologise for ruining our date "supposedly only both of u".... but i ended up chioing more ppl along...haha... but the more the merrier rite??

oh ya, back to the highlight of the day!! yeanching!! haha

The chinese new year edition

I'm writing this while watching the last 30 mins of American Idol...Have been missing the previous episode....
chinese new year has come n go n only now then i got the time to blog it...
as a matter of fact, this blog is abandoned.... i am not so passionate about writing anymore...at least not like last time during the holiday where i got all the time in the world to waste (not that i'm no longer wasting my time now.... Mid term exam is coming n yet i youtube all nite...)

oh ya, before i get to my chinese new year experience, just wanna promote this really nice series... of course it's taiwanese series...wad else do i watch...
it's called hana kimi...i think it's adapted from japanese comic....
basically, it's abt this girl who likes this high jumper (is that the right term for it?) studying in boy sch.... so she is willing to sacrifice n pretend to be a guy just to study in the same sch as her idol... I think it's really a nice show...funny n refreshing to watch...




ok...promotion time over...
now it's sharing time...
anyway,... i didnt go back indo during CNY.... for a simple reason. mid term exams coming....but as predicted, I never really utilise my time wisely.... uncountable hours were wasted loitering ard orchard and vivocity (maybe a new term shld be used -->"Vivoing").... and countless dollars spend .... haiz...

basically, during CNY eve, all the chinese restaurants were either closed or fully booked.... so we had to resort to Western food... German food to be exact....
We had Danny with us...who helped us a lot in ordering..haha... coz the name of the dishes are all in german....
basically only 6 of us spent the CNY eve together (me, jess, laura, danny, dipta n henry)....the rest, either they went back indo, hide somewhere in PGP or "busy" couples...haha....






thanks to Jessica, we got a treat of fondue that nite at Hagen daz....nyum...
okay, that was the first nite in Vivo...









after our feast, we came back pgp to play board games (monopoly) the whole nite....until morning at 4 if i'm not wrong...

then next day, i woke up quite late....just the time for lunch...so me n jess (who felt so lonely n bored) decided to go orchard to try our luck....
but our luck was not that good....all the non-western food restaurants were closed including jap food...hiks hiks... and we ended up eating at spageddies... okay, i must say that the food was not that bad.... but it's tooo cheesy...
n after that we had a walk around orchard which looked like a dead city....seriously, singapore cant function during chinese new year...that's the bad thing abt being in a chinese dominated country...haha....

and for dinner we had marche.. (ya ya...another western meal....quite sick of it aledy)...
but thanks to david n angita -the happy couple- who helped us book the table....if not... dun even think abt having dinner there... it was fun that nite after the dinner.... why? becoz we went to the vivocity "kids" playground... yah, it was as if we were never young....haha ....

then we ended the nite n started the next day with Risk game.... it's a guy kind of game which i learned.... the guys had mercy on us the girls (me n laura), not killing us early and we ended up being the "troublemaker" in the game...haha... n guess wad, we ended the game at 5 pm...
but i didnt sleep straight after that... i pushed myself to finish my overdue assignment and ended sleeping at 7 am....damn early rite...? that was my record...

actually the rest of my new year was quite eventful except for continuous eating of expensive food which burned a whole in my pocket....haiz...haha
i hope i can get all the pictures soon n can put it up here....yipppiiee...
gong xi gong xi.... i want my hong bao!!!

cravings...

The past weekend was one of the bussiest n the most tiring weekend this sem. I had the first 2 sessions of my 1st aid course....learned abt CPR, how to bandage in the head, at the arm....and all sorts of procedures. CPR is not that hard, it's just that we have to follow certain procedures to pass the test... I cant imagine doing it on a real person....ih so scary...haha....

then during the weekends, i'm supposed to have my dance class which i pon due to the first aid course. A bit sad lah, coz i have to miss my inter chacha again....haiz waste my money.... and there was supposed to be mini dance competition like last time and obviously i cant go....
but nvm, it was aledy the last class n we r going to start new dances next time...yippiieee....samba n waltz

oh ya, talking abt dance, in pgp, there was open air movie screening..."layar tancep"....it was quite fun!! i watched "shall we dance". I think after learning how to do ballroom dance, i can appreciate these kinds of movies better. then i oso saw some of the moves that i learned before in the movies... cool!!.... actually the movie plot is not that interesting. but it was romantic n of course Jlo dance very well.....hm... inspiring...haha

now, lets talk abt craving...haha just like the title of my post (after so long story above...haha)
why i want to write abt this??
ans= i dunno... (MATLAB format)
just suddenly feel that i have a lot of cravings from day to day.
out of nowhere, i can form this thought of wanting to eat something. (of course craving is not just abt food...but for me, most of the time it's food lah, i have to admit...haha)
just to share... the food that i craved before: Pempek palembang, Ayam Penyet, Science canteen Banmian, VJ canteen carrot cake, Dimsum and currently i got craving for chocolate....which is kinda appropriate since it's near v-day hahaha
but v-day is so irrelevant to me.... so if nobody gives chocs to me, can just buy loh...haha (sounds so pathetic ya?) but nevermind... being "jomblo" is NOT the saddest thing in the world...haha

enuf of the crap lah...i wanna watch my youtube now. oh ya, somebody told me abt this website oso... crunchyroll.com i think it will be heaven for ppl who have broadband internet n is an anime freak...so check it out. only if u got the time.... and just to warn u, i'm not responsible for the side effect (addiction to stay in front of your comp all day long)...haha... (from my own experience, youtube is the reason for all my incomplete tutorials....hahah)

ciaoooo

concert aftermath...

yay!!
Today is Friday and this is the first time that i can relax a bit throughout this week....
Last friday was the concert by the Indons here in NUS...it's called "When I was in Indonesia..."
The concert was a fusion of both traditional and modern music n dance....

The items performed are as follows:
- Balinese dance called Sekar Jagad... I saw the ppl practising for this one...I looks quite tough and they managed to dance well in such a short time. defenitely not easy....

-Gamelan... This item was performed by the guest performers from SMU.... I didnt really noe abt this item. coz the SMU ppl only went once for the rehearsal.... and on the day itself I was outside the backstage....so, I didnt hear them at all. Summore, I was not familiar with the songs they played...haha....so, no impression...sorrie

-ehem....ANGKLUNG orchestra.... which was the item that me and abt 27 other ppl performed.haha... we played 3 songs: Kopi Dangdut, Edelweiss and Naik Delman.
We screwed up a bit at the Kopi Dangdut, but I noe for sure, the Naik Delman n Edelweiss on that day was the best compared to all the practices we had before... good job ppl....I tremendously enjoyed the performance.
but I really want to see the video of our performance. Hope I can get hold of one copy of the video.....

-ReguA.... I think this band deserves a compliment...they sounded good, they looked good and they were entertaining.... at least this is what I saw during the rehearsals...I guess the performance on the day itself shld be superb oso... the ppl in this band are: Adi, Regi, Tari, Andrew, and the additional 2 members are Adit n Aldo... I was really impressed by the music n harmonisation...great job!!

-Tari piring... this is performed by NTU guest performers, 4 of them only. But they were oso impressive. imagine all the "throwing plates" stunts...haha I heard that one of them almost dropped the plates...luckily he managed to catch it back firmly...haha....

-IndoMe.... not very sure how to write the proper name...but it sounds something like that....
They are a grp of 4 ppl playing rock band...haha ....but of course singing indo songs... They were really good oso coz they could engage with the crowd...haha... and it was nice to listen Indo love songs....haha romantic...

oh ya, must highlight the MCs for the day. Dunno where they found an ang moh girl who were willing to be the MC...she pretended to be a tourist going around Indo....
and Dipta n Jaenatte who were the "welcomer" in each of the places.... what so funny is when Dipta appeared in front of everyone wearing the traditional costumes, ppl started laughing without him doing anything or saying anything...haha

okay basically it was a great nite, with great music n of course great audience....At first I was quite worried that the audience would not make up the whole theaterette...but not bad...it was at least 5/6 full...though i dunno how i got that...haha...crap...

This is the link to the official pictures....

but so sad dun have my face....hiks hiks...
will try to get from individual cameras which have my face haha
if i got all the pictures aledy, i'll try to put it up here...
i think we shld organise more of this kind of things...though it took up quite a bit of our time during the last minute practice n rehearsals, but i feel satisfied lah!! and i felt good when u see ppl come n supporting u...haha....

okie....must go do my stuff liao....
