super sianz...

hm.... not much to blog abt today...
somehow i felt super tired for the whole day.... i thought i got enuf sleep...
maybe it's just this time of the year where everything starts to pile up n exams are coming man!!! how??
one good thing: maths lecture has ended....though it's kinda entertaining to go for maths lect everytime (the lecturer is a real joker...hahaz, where can u find maths lecture abt romeo and juliet and 300?...hmmm)
but one less day to wake up early to go for morning lect...yay!!! my beauty sleep...heeeee

ooo... tmrw's my mkt presentation!! wish me luck with iPod....haha...
hope i wont forget my script halfway n stun there...

mugging season is coming and it reminds me of this "mugging anthem" founded by alice n dwee (if i'm not wrong) when we were still in Vhall...

"as we mug to the right, as we mug to the left,
as we mug as we mug as we mug all nite,
with the notes and the textbook,
and the round panda eyes,
with the notes and the textbook,
and a new friend found"

haha...actually cant remember exactly the lyrics that they made up...so i made them up myself...(the part abt notes, textbook n pada eyes...haha)

okie... that's all folks....

*just got the correction for the lyrics of mugging anthem from the original founder...hehe
"as we mug to the right,
as we mug to the left,
as we mug as we mug as we mug all nite,
with the books and the notes,
and a half turn around,
with the books and the notes,
and a new mugger found"

I'm so 'Justified'

Maybe from the title of this blog alone, u won't be able to guess wad it this blog all about...
okie lah... lets go straight to the point!!
i'm going to bore you with my JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE blabbers...
yes! I must admit that I am a big fan of Justin Timberlake... not for his looks but for his talent!!!
yes! and as u can see, my nick name is actually inspired by one of his song, senorita, and hence my nick cynorita...haha i noe it's a bit lame, but i like it the way it is...

I started listening to his music around sec 4 and his CD was one of the few original CDs that I bought (Yes, I do support my fave artists by buying the originals muahaha...)
His song senorita, just makes me wanna groove to it, makes my feet wanna tap to the beat... basically, it's one of the best songs that i've ever heard. Even until this point of time, I'm still madly in love with the song. I just think that it's super duper fun, creative and of course upbeat....

You guys shld watch this show by Justin during the 2004 grammy awards where he sang senorita... i think this is the best arrangement of the song that i've ever heard.... it's simply 'WOW!'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d-avqgYhMw
Don't u just love his showmanship....?

I learn to like almost all of his songs in his first solo album "justified". I've heard of the songs inside over n over again until i can remember which songs come next...

Then he came out with his new album FutureSex/LoveSounds... I was not very impressed at first... I thought his transformation was not really to my taste... His first hits "Sexy back" was just not so right for me....

but when i heard "What goes around", I immediately think, "the Justin i like is back!"
yes! indeed, i've been hooked by the song and I listen to it almost every day.... haha
I just love the content of the lyrics...
so I'll just put the music video here... just to warn u, it's abt 9 mins long coz it's like a short movie, starring Scarlet Johansson...erh, do i spell her name correctly??
okay, enuf said.... just see for yourself!...

Hey Girl
Is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you, baby
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
I can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair

Is the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Shoulda known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's ok baby, cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
Yeah

Now Girl
I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now (on now)
Maybe I should do the same
(Maybe I should do the same)
The funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name

Thought it was me and you baby (baby)
And now, it's all just a shame
That I guess I was wrong

Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
I can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Shoulda known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's ok, baby, cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
Yeahhh
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeahhh
What goes around comes around
You should know that

Don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
I can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it

I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fate

Is the way it's really going down?

What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way, back around
Yeah

[...Comes Around (Interlude)]
Yup
Yup
Yup(let me paint this picture for ya, baby)
Yup
You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And everytime you call him, all you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes
When you cheated, girl
My heart bleeded, girl
So it goes without saying that ya left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl, you got what you deserved
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
But girl, I ain't somebody
I'm out of sympathy
See..

ps: sorry if the post becomes terribly long because of the lyrics...
JT rocks!!

Weekend post!

Nowadays, I only have time to update my post during weekends coz i'm superduper busy during weekdays.... especially this week when everything is going to be due soon....
Even tonite, I'm trying to steal a bit of time from my supposedly lab report time.
yes, weekend is kinda sucky nowadays with all the report coming....(as u can see from my previous posts as well)....butttttt.... good news is: this is going to be my last chem lab report for this semester.... fiuhhhh.....

4 labs a semester is bad enough. can't imagine the next next semesters when i have more than one labs and of course more lab reports to do.... I heard from the others, who heard it from seniors, the upcoming lab reports are going to be 80 pages long!! wad deeee..... hahaha (*sad laughter).... poor my printer ink, and poor ME!!... seriously, how r we supposed to write 80 pages long?.... isn't this somewhat similar to writing a textbook aledy...? wow! maybe that's life for a chem engin to be... not very promising...hehe

Apart from my "mundane" lab reports, this coming tuesday I'm going to have a presentation of my marketing project on iPod... I must say that Marketing is one of the modules that i really enjoy now....(partly because i begin to feel sick of Engin modules... haiz, no good). Marketing feels kind of refreshing to me... no need to memorise formulas, just need to use common sense and think critically...

My project on iPod is kind of cool i must say... Previously, i was not really attracted to iPod. Doesnt mean that I dun wanna have one, it's just that i feel that for me it's not a necessary thing. (although some of my friends have one) --> maybe it's called "resistant" to iPod's campaign...haha

but after i've done so much research on this topic and gone to it's website "thousands" of times this months.... i begin to show some interest in the product... even after analysing their advertisement campaigns and all that, and realise that they have quite a few weaknesses, i still think that iPod carries a certain "prestige"... compared to other brands of course. Maybe it's partly because i never really do any research on any other brands.

However, from wadever net-surfing that i've done, I realise that all other brands improve on their products just for the sake of winning the race against iPod, not really because they really wanna serve the consumers better.

Apart from that, it also helps that my project group mates are quite fun! maybe not all lah, but at least i can mix well with most of them. widen my social circle outside the world of engin....

Haha wish me luck for the presentation on Tuesday....hope it will go well....yay! iPod, i want one!!*hint*hint*.. ;p

another NUS arts fest event

One of the thing that i come to learn since i come to s'pore is that i love watching arts and performances. Actually not just watching but also performing. (Budden since i came to NUS i have less chance of performance unlike when i was in Sec and JC). Of course, compared to when i was in indo, I have more chances of watching concerts and shows for a lot of reasons. (though sometimes i think that indo ppl have a lot more talents that can be showcased)

And of course, NUS, one of the "factories" that "produces" singaporeans, has a whole host of shows for us to watch. some free n some not free. It's called NUS arts festival.

As i've penned down in my blog, 2 weeks ago there was NUS choir performance (see how time flies...) and now it's the time for the acapella and choir groups from various hall to showcase their talents. The former being the "not-free" example and the latter being the "free" one as mentioned above.

I must be frank and say that the overall performance was not fantastic. The few performances that i liked were Sheares n KR choirs n acapellas. The rest were just so-so.... but of course the guest performers were also included in the "fantastic" list...

One of the guest performers were Regu A (the Indo band). I think we all (the indonesians who went were really proud of that group). I must complement them because i think for a grp to spring out not because of any cca reason, not because of hall obligation, is a rare thing. Summore, i dare to say that their standard are better than a lot of other performances tonite... haha from wad i observedjust now, got more ppl who became the fans of Adi and Andrew.. coz just now i overheard ppl's conversation saying that they want to get to know Adi n Andrew...haha quite funny!

enuf for the compliment...haha

took quite a lot of pics tonite...i think i'll just show some of my fave pics....(time to make use of my bulky camera...yet still takes nicer photographs =))... mostly, the ppl in the pics are about the same as the people who were in the choir pics 2 weeks ago (wad a music enthusiast!...haha)

Me n yc: wish i have taken the pic of her in the apron haha ice kachang was cute.... Btw, thx for taking the pics!!


The indo gals: just realised that all of us are in black n white...nice color combi!!

I really love this pic!!...everybody looks good there

One person to comment: Adela, who is actually an NTU student has faithfully come to some of NUS concerts...something to worth mentioning since she bothers to take time down from the "ulu" NTU to NUS...haha... (sorry NTU ppl....no offence, it's just that NTU is really far...lol)

Oh ya, something that irritates me a bit tonite is the ppl who are in charge at the performance theatre... I think i get too strict that they become quite irritating (okay, u may say that i shld put myself in their shoes, "they are just doing their duties...")

First was when anggi was helping me n yc to take pics in the theatre itself during the interval....then the person say "pls keep ur camera away"....but i thought it was an interval, wont affect any of the shows wad?? okay, fine, i kept my camera n follow wad she said.

Then i think this "usher" has super sharp eyes that keeps scanning around the room for the "unlawful" practices... then again, she managed to find 2 packets of drinks under our seats...and ask us to remove it...okay, fair enuf...we are not supposed to consume anything inside i noe...

Then wad irritates me the most was after the interval was over n when the performance was going on....this "usher" keeps reminding ppl around not to use their cameras even though they are not even using any flash....no disturbance to the performers i supposed.... and yet, this "usher" became the one who was the main disturbance to us since we were sitting at the side...urghhhhh.... pls lah, lemme enjoy the show!.

I just feel that when ppl get too strict n follow the rule excessively, it defeats the purpose of having a rule....rule is supposed to serve ppl well.... haiz.... but i guess i was once a person like that....just follow rule...(haha sounds like a recent fann wong n gourmit singh movie)

okie, lets not spoil my mood by pondering over unneccessary stuff like that....

Looking forward for more concerts to come...

But i seriously think that i wont have much time for that anymore...

But i see no point prisoning myself n studying (which i can't actualise anyway...).

Okay, maybe i shld rephrase....no point hiding under ur books all the time...I need a break too sometime.

Run away...

This is Friday nite and i am sitting here in the reading room of pgp, planning to do my work.
But so far i have not done anything productive yet. trying to run away from reality...haiz...
hope i can make some progress by tonite so i wont have to stress myself out during weekdays...
and yes, uni life sucks... it's like a cycle repeating every week.

During weekends when i'll be rushing through my work, i'll be like cursing n promising not to let that happen again. But somehow when weekdays come, i seem to forget all the hardship that i had during weekends.... n somehow i manage to find excuses to run away from work...
haiz, i think i really lack the motivation to study...how??

btw, my brother is coming to singapore on monday!!! yippiiieee!!! which also means food food food from indo.......got a reason to go out to meet him...haha kinda excited to see him. I'm sure he's very excited too, coz it's his first time going abroad with his friends. But dunno whether how often i can meet him considering that i have so many others things going on.... but, i am sure i'll make time for him...haha

okie...
*time to run back to reality*

relieved

I just wanna take this time to express my relief that I've just completed my Matlab assignment....fiuhhhhhh

Yes, I really dread Matlab assignment each week as I will spend hours or even days in front of may laptop, not knowing wad to do until the very last minute when i have to submit...

Even worse, last week, the Matlab assignment came together with Chemisrty lab report...
I was almost "killed" by them both. I spent the whole afternoon and nite doing the Chem lab report until 3 am in the morning....which leaves me with no time to complete my Matlab assignment. As a result, I have to steal time in between my lesson to complete my Matlab. and to my horror, I could not understand the thing that i was supposed to do... So, last minute, I depended on Yeanching's favour for those questions where I was totally lost...

But this week it's different! I finish it all by myself without asking anybody (but of course i refer to notes n textbook). I am so proud of myself.... dun care about the mark i will get for the assignment... I just feel the sense of achievement of completing something...haha

Matlab aside,
I have been reading ppl's blog lately. then i realised something...
"is my blog too self-centered?"
Not that I want to follow other ppl, but all that I've been writing here is just about me, myself, and I... mostly revolve around my daily activities.... which is of not much meaning...and of course it gets very uninteresting....
So, I have decided to at least include in some insightful thoughts or comments in my blog next time
This is my resolution in blogging...hahaz hopefully it can be achieved.

Interesting Ad

Found this Nike Ad at youtube while i was browsing around....n think it is cool...
and the song "mas que nada" is very groovy oso...
so just sit back, relax n enjoy

and life goes on....

yep...as usual, i only come back blogging when i feel that i have a lot of things to tell...

yesh! and now i do have a lot of things to share....so many things have been happening last week...

it started with the "much-awaited" mid term exam... why much-awaited, u may ask.... coz i just wanna end it as soon as possible.... haha I really dun feel like recalling the tests experience coz i knew i srcewed up almost all... usually if the 1st test is aledy very bad, i will lose the motivation to fight on for the subsequent papers.... that's how i am, not like other ppl, cannot do then study harder...haha

my last day of exam was saturday!!! i felt so relieved...though it was temporary n deceiving.... when u finish test, doesnt mean u are free.... it just means u finish the test, that's all!!! still have so many tutorials, lab report, research to do.... haiz, and now i'm feeling the effect aledy...

feeling super tired today...i really need a boost of energy now.... but i'll fight on!! someone, give me some motivation!!

okay, before i continue whinning, i shall move on to happier things...

last week was linda's 21st birthday!! haha we had a celebration at pgp foyer....wanted to dunk her, but we were not that mean... (now i think, dunking is kinda scary sia... coz u might actually injured the person in the process).... the celebration went well and we had cakes n some martabak n pisang molen from ppl who came back from indo....

then yesterday was choir concert.... there were quite a few of indos singing in the choir. i met a lot of ppl there too!! This is the first concert ever that i've watched in NUS.... the indo concert was not counted coz i was performing n couldnt really enjoy the show....

it was good.... when i was in vj, i never went for any choir concert...(which is kinda pathetic since VJ choir was supposed to be very good).... but it's okay, NUS choir oso conducted by Nelson Kwei.... so shld be quite similar lah hor!! haha....

1. photo with eva...she was the first to come out of the backstage....

2. after very long only laura n evelyn came out n see us...haha

3. met bebeth n some red cross ppl oso...so take pic lor!!! haha

oh ya, one more thing to announce.... I just had my hair cut.... i had it at wisma atria.... the place is called shunji matsuo - icon.... i thing it was not bad....i love the way the person style my hair after the cut....the cut was not extraordinary but i feel that it's much neater than before, which is good...haha... for the price....ehem.... okay lah, i think it's quite reasonable....i dun mind paying more for a good hair cut rather than pay cheap2 and come out like sh*t..haha (that's how i usually feel when i came out of salon)

okie...all in all....i had a balanced week!! haha
