Girls' coffee
yes, it's a chinese song and i love to listen to chinese songs while studying...
basically i keep hearing this song playing on the background when the Dj was talking and find this song very meaningful...
The title is 女人们的咖啡 Nv Ren Men De Ka Fei - which means Girls' coffee
I said that it's meaningful because it talks about girls' friendship...
i dun really understand the entire lyrics but roughly it talks about how only girl can understand girl best...
especially besties... whom you can pour out to and confide in...
the chorus goes like this...
男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义
女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景
有时候爱情
不如和你喝咖啡有趣
-for the benefit of those who cant read chinese- i shall translate a bit
it roughly means:
guys dun really understand the true meaning of girls' tears
girls cant really figure out what is behind a guy's quietness
sometimes love life
is not as interesting as having coffee with you...
it's really the literal translation...*i used dictionary to check up the meaning of some of the words too...=P* as tho i got so much time to waste...
here's the complete lyrics
一壶成套式两人分的咖啡呀
一屋子芬芳气息
两个女人见到话题永远不停
Oh关于男人关于女人和自己
整个世界都要整理
有时候只有跟你说才有头绪
男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义
女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景
有时候爱情
不如和你喝咖啡有趣
过去的事情想早点忘记却爱回忆
下一段恋曲却又怕再伤心
我们总聊聊互相的安慰
彼此打气
信用卡可以买到一季的流行
却买不到真实自己
只有听你说的分析深入我心
就算是小小的竞争或是在斗气
这一切都不是问题
用一杯咖啡的时间都能搞定
男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义
女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景
有时候爱情
不如和你喝咖啡有趣
过去的事情想早点忘记却爱回忆
下一段恋曲却又怕再伤心
我们总聊聊互相的安慰
彼此打气
下次见面拿杯咖啡
时间地点先定
下次见面那些事情
没话说我听你
男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义
女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景
有时候爱情
不如和你喝咖啡有趣
男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义
女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景
有时候爱情
不如和你喝咖啡有趣
过去的事情想早点忘记却爱回忆
下一段恋曲却又怕再伤心
我们总聊聊互相的安慰
彼此打气

impulse impulse...
6 pm plus, me n yc sitting at biz cateen "enjoying" our dinner before planning to go back to biz lib to mug...
then we were talking and complaining how our life sucks with all this sucky mugging schedule....
then suddenly yc said,
"I want something that makes me happy!"
then out of nowhere...i just blurted out
"i noe wad can make u happy, ...shopping!!!"
then there we go...instead of spending our nite in the library, we decided to go vivo..the closest hang out place to NUS....
we spent so long browsing and trying clothes at the stretch of shop, from zara, pull and bear, esprit, forever 21 and dozens more...hahha
end up, yc got something that she's been looking for....a black cardigans...from pull and bear...
so sad i cant get anything that i want...
actually i did see something that i really really like.... a half jacket (is that wad u call it? the short version of jacket...) green colour...the army kinda green. I think it's very stylo... it;s the kind that i've been looking for for so long... but as a matter of fact i dun really need it lah...
and summore it's 50 bucks... slightly over my budget today though i think it's very worth it for such a nice jacket...
feels really tempted to just buy it on the spot.... but luckily yc still brought me to my senses, not to splurge on something that is not so urgent...hahha
but i still made a vow to come back to the shop (samuel n kelvin) after my exam ends....if the jacket is still there (and may be there will be discounts...hahah...*hopeful hopeful)... then i will just splurge my money on that jacket.... haha...more motivation to get all these exams over soon...
then a few moment later, as we were walking through the shops, we bumped into tiang lim there...he was meeting eddy for movies... but too bad for them the movie tix just sold out....
then we ended up going to marche to hang out and eat... talking crap....
yup, overall today went quite well, kinda relax a bit but there's this slight guilt of not studying... but oh well, i cant keep studying non stop like dogs... i need a break as well. I promise tmrw will be a much more promising day...hopefully so....
yay!!! all the best for exams everyone...it's just short term!

Uban uban...
I just spotted one strand of grey hair on my head...
have i been studying too much?? actually not really leh....
i've just been sitting in library and study room more often. But if you really follow wad i'm doing from the beginning of the day to late at nite, u can't agree more that i'm really not that hardworking. i usually just make myself feels good and not so guilty by sitting down in front of my notes and textbook. In actual fact, i can't move on from those few pages (which means that my progress is super duper slow.... not good since exam is coming really really soon...)
As i'm writing this blog now, i'm in fact guilty of this "crime". i'm supposed to be reading through my organic chem notes while waiting for my laundry in the dryer. But wad can i do...the temptation of facebook, youtube, blogspot and many many more is too strong to resist.
but those things aside, and coming back to the issue of grey hair....
How?? i don't wanna be like this in the future
Haha... just kidding, release a bit more stress now that exam is coming!! Jiayou everyone who has exam as well....

Lonelier than ever.. pep talking myself
things keep coming n flying in towards me.
I kinda feel that i dun have any sense of direction anymore. I'm just doing things just for the sake of doing. I cant even see the meaning of uni life at all. It's just a series of comes and gos...
even friends...i dun even have a fixed group of friends that i usually cling on to...my source of support. i noe this statement is not totally true...but that's the general feeling that i have now...
i find it hard even to discipline myself. i keep running n hiding away from the responsibilities that i'm supposed to face. i just dun have the strength anymore...
i've set target for myself for this sem, to catch up with whatever i've not done well last sem. i know i'm comparing myself too much with others. i noe i shldnt, but it's not a conscious effort, it's just natural to do so. even if you dun want to, u'll be "forced" to. It's really demoralising to see everyone is doing quite well and you are struggling alone... okay, "alone" is not the right word. but yeah, i feel really alone in this. Even if others say they can't make it...can you really trust them? even if you can, can you really define a standard for "cant make it".
i kinda feel that my passion is not really here.. but whatever it is, i wont give up. coz i've found a source of inspiration and motivation...
yesterday i accidentally stumble upon this videos of Justin Timberlake doing his grand performance at Madison Square Garden.
i mean, it's not really about that concert alone...
i'm just in awe of his hardwork n every effort that he put in in all of his performances. To us, singging and dancing on stage may look like a great deal of fun, especially if you are doing it for a living. but i trust that it's not so if you really have to do it everyday, as yor profession. Just like me, doing engineering as my major, which part of it is fun to me? honestly none!...
but after i watched his concert yesterday... i just got very inspired by how he spiced up all his shows. he may be doing the same dance moves over and over again on different stages... but as i follow most of his performances, i always find something unexpected each and every time...
then it gets me thinking to myself... why can't i do the same. The key is: Be professional! Get the best of whatever i'm doing, whether i like it or not... i may not be very good always (especially in comparison to others), but so what...? as long as i've done my very best...i should be satisfied. If it's not good enough, try harder next time... this world is a mean place, but sometimes you are still given more chances to move up the ladder... there's room for everyone..
yeah, feeling really optimistic now...
okies, moral boosted and time to get back to studying...

Fun way of doing charity...
have u ever beg your friends to buy your $2 tickets for charity and end up buying one yourself?
i bet almost all students in Singapore will have this "difficult" experience before...
but hey, in NUS there's this very fun way of doing your part for charity... just for clarification, i'm not doing any promotion for the organising committe coz i have no link wadsoever to them...
but who will believe that by folding lots and lots of paper crane you can help the poor...
for 1 crane folded, they will donate one bowl of rice...
unique huh!
and it's super fun too... wad makes it fun is that usually ppl will take the origami papers before their lects start and of course fill their boring lect time with folding paper crane...hahah
not recommending it to anyone.... i'm just sharing wad i observed and wad i did oso...hahaha

Happy tree Friends
Today is the first day of sch and i'm quite excited to come back (surprisingly)... dunno why, maybe holiday was too meaningless.
And guess wad... the famous arts canteen "the deck" is now open again...yeah!! which means gud food... hahah not that engin food is sucky but defenitely the deck gives us more choices.
I had 2 lectures today and after engin o week i feel that i get to know more ppl (which is a gud thing). Okay lah, must admit that i'm not that outgoing but at least i saw a lot of familiar faces roaming around engin...hahaha... some of them i dunno their names. but not bad lah, at least i gain something from the camp
okie, as i promised in my previous post, i will blog abt this year o' week. It has been a very enriching experience and i defenitely never regret joining. Somehow it makes me think back to last year when i was a freshman and joined engin o week oso... miss those time so much!
My grp this year is called Happy Tree, u know "Happy Tree Friends", the cute but sadistic creatures...hahha.. and that was indeed an "appropriate" name for our grp...haha... (Our maskot was half, if not 3/4, destroyed by the end of o'week --> on purpose lah)
One thing is so special abt this grp is that the ratio of guys and girls is around 9:11, if not quite balance for some days. If u think that is normal, think again!!! this is engin u noe. how can u have a grp with more girls than guys...haha...
quite sad that we have to end the orientation and start school come to think of it, after all the sleepless nite (playing all sorts of stupid games)... and many many more...
too bad i dun have the photos rite now. hope to get it soon so that i can post it here...

peeping out again..
Holiday is almost over... not very meaningful since most of the time i just rot at home. But of course there are some highlights like Bandung trip with my family, ocassional shopping with dwee and my photoshop course.... Actually my 21st birthday also fell in between the holiday..hahha legally adult, just like wad alice wrote in her card.
I'm too lazy to elaborate coz really the rest of the holiday is so unmeaningful that i cant really remember.
The past 2 weeks was filled with a lot of shopping trips to Orchard and the like since my mom came to s'pore for 1 week and dwee came for 2 weeks and she's still here....hahah
2 nites ago...we played monopoly in yeanching's room and she managed to beat the rest although all of us team up alrd to help each other survive... but she poved herself worthy of the free monopoly set...hahha
then after that we helped wenny to do her SP stuff to buaya a senior guy in KR... it was fun doing all those stuff but the guy better accept her because we alrd put so much effort... until 4 am u noe...hahhaha....

Holding our work of art. Note the name below
Holiday is official ending very very soon with o'week starting this afternoon. Today is 1st day and we have to sleep over alrd coz there'll be a fright nite tonite... I hate fright nite...i dun wanna go fright nite.. watch horror movies also dun dare, how do u expect me to survive a fright nite... Oh well, but that's just part of the things that i have to go thru' during this 1 week or so.
Actually i got nothing much to write now... maybe later after o'week i have more exciting experience to share. cya!!Saturday, May 05, 2007
I have to blog about this...

H for hectic and H for happy....=)
that's the feeling after exam... all u noe is play and have fun...
it's not really as easy as it sounds, nevertheless it's still fun!
2 days ago... my day was packed with "action"... In the afternoon I went to Aviva Singapore open with the guys from NUS... free tix..wah so shiok..!
Then went to vivo for dinner with the rest before we proceed to the long awaited spidey3....As always, I like the movie and it was a good way to end the day!!haha
Yep, that was still the happy n relaxing part...coz the next day we had PINUS bbq...
since I' m in the exco, i have to prepare for the food and everything.., helping laura coz she was the "boss"... honestly, there were a lot of things to prepare... from the food to all other miscellaneous stuff including my field, the money...haha
one more problem is that it was raining before that. so we were very worried that ppl wont turn up after so much preparation being done....i dunno how many times the fried the bee hoon in that small pan to feed 40 ppl... i think the became a pro in "bee hoon goreng" aledy...hahaz
luckily, it all went quite well..maybe not that wonderful. at least it's a place where ppl can just relax n have fun, and play games like "big fish small fish", "polar bear" (again!) and some other stupid games...haha... i myself kena forfeit haizzz....so embarrasing! but it was fun lah...
It was tiring at the end of the day but it was satisfying! erhm...maybe not after you realise that we are running at a loss..haha okay nvm, let's think abt that next time....
and today....got another bbq...but this time we dun need to prepare or anything...just come free n easy and all the food are prepared! we went to the ambassador's house.... they treated the excos of the Indonesian sub-comms from NUS, NTU, SMU and SIM....
the food was good...got sting ray, sotong, sate....nyum.... but i still prefer NUS bbq coz everybody noes everybody else (maybe not exactly everybody)...haha.... yar, but u noe it lah...
the atmosphere at the embassy was like "pretend to be friendly and make more connection"... which i didnt coz i'm just not that kind of person...haha
okie lah...enuf of the rambling... i think i shld go and pack my stuff....or shld i just watch youtube? hm...hard to resist!

the S word....
all i've been doing since last thursday is to mug n mug n mug...
honestly, i've been pushing myself beyond my normal standard.
usually, at least i'll have more breaks in between my studying time....
now, surprisingly, I was able to resist myself from other distractions and nicely sit down in R2 study room almost 12 hours a day, or even more sometimes... this is world record for me!!! haha...
okay, nothing to be proud about since i think most ppl here are doing that...sigh
but seriously, this exam period has driven me a bit crazy... but luckily i still can maintain a bit of sanity...(hopefully)
these are some of the quirky n bad things that has been happening from the days leading to exams till today (i still have 3 papers more to go by the way....huaaaaa!!!!!)
- NUS is seriously lack of power point and benches... if u go to the library n any open areas n want to use your laptop, better come early to "chop" the plug...if not, u r doomed!!
- Ppl are so deprived of studying area that they dun mind sitting down on the floor along the corridor.... i've seen some doing that in PGP...
- U studied so hard for maths and thought that it was the most prepared module among other screwed-up modules n yet you flunked it. and the worse thing, the paper was considered doable if not easy to some.
- after your maths paper on saturday, you had lunch with your friends and talked to them (this is still normal)... and thennnn, u found out that all the while you've been thinking that CN exam is on monday, CM exam is on thursday.... and it's all WRONG!!! CM shld be on monday, CN on thursday... yes, basically it means that u've prepared for the wrong papers... sigh.... to make things worse, there are 2 exams on monday... now, u are unprepared for 2 papers.... and you only have less than 2 days to "do your best"... hm, i wonder how that can happen...
- Fire alarm in PGP rang twice at 4 o'clock or 5 o'clock or 4 o'clock (haiz, cant rmb....but basically around that time) in the morning before CM paper... and after that your sleep was interupted by constant fear of being overslept for CM paper at 9 am... which would mean a total waste of effort during the weekend if that really happens...(luckily not). Interestingly, in between that interupted sleep, you managed to actually get into a dream... nightmare more precisely : there's a fire opposite your house... (must be the fire alarm effect)
- It's monday morning and you were still rushing through the last 2 chapters of your CM notes and your exam was in 1 hr time... you were just reading through without anything going into your mind. The "amazing" thing was: while you are studying CM throughout the weekend, you realised that nothing has got into your mind during lectures in term time... so, basically you were trying to learn everything from scratch... seriously, i dunno wad i've been doing before this, quite a few of my notes are like "untouched". This sem is such a waste of time...
- the afternoon after CM paper which turns out to be a ULTRA disastrous (as expected), you still have another marketing paper to sit for... and you have 4 more chapters to go...and 4 more hours left.... so you wanna try to find some empty seats at the study room in sch and found that there's not even a single available seat to squeeze into... you had to resort to going to some benches along a dim corridor and strain your eye for some light to study... how pathetic..!!!
- Surprisingly, you managed to finish reading through all the outstanding notes within that 4 hours and confidently went to the exam hall.... you did all the questions and finished the exam with happy feelings, not because you know you got all answers correct but because you know that nothing can be worse that CM paper in the morning....
- But when you start talking n discussing with your friends, you found out that all the long essays that you've written are rubbish... long but non sense...haha that's the art of crapping!
"If there's a will, there's a way" -> that is one saying that i really need to adopt now!! haha
3 more papers to go...
3 papers in 2 days...how "wonderful"!
Saturday, April 07, 2007
Breathe in the music...
yep, at last i can feel a bit relaxed after being the library for almost the whole day....
i noe it's nothing good to brag about but i feel a sense of achievement. it's not easy to force yourself to sit down in that place fully packed with muggers.... but i've made it today!! haha...
hm.... although i must say that i didnt actually did much except for my physical chem.
i tried to start on my matlab assignment but i got stucked somewhere n i just gave up...
erh... did i just bore some of u with my schoolworks..haha... maybe i shld stop blogging abt my mugging schedules, if not this blog will just turn into another daily planner of some sort...
yes, as u have notice, there's a new section on the right side of my blog. It's from www.imeem.com for those of u who don't noe abt it....
it's like one of my favourite sites nowadays....
thx to vidi n yeanching who introduce me to this site... now i can find all the songs that i want
They even have indo songs...haha how great is that....
wheeeeee..... (yeanching's style)-- but warn u, u need fast internet to listen to the songs as one piece...duh!... thx to NUS unlimited internet access i have such a luxury now..haha
wad makes me so happy abt this site is that i can compile my own playlists and find all the songs that i've been looking for for ages... one of it is "hear 'em say" by kanye west. I remember listening to that song when i was still in vhall. Me n vidi would tune in to the radio (power 98) and when we heard that song, we would be super happy...haha... actually wad makes the song nice is the vocals by adam lavene (that maroon 5 lead singer)... oh ya, and the piano accompaniment oso. it's light, cute n so special...haha
there are also other songs like "Lost without you" and "Don't you worry bout the thing". I've been playing those 2 songs over n over again....(luckily it's not a Cassette or CD, if not it will be fully damaged by now)....
The first song "Lost without you" is by Robin Thicke... I began to know Robin Thicke during sec sch... at that time, i didnt even noe that his full name is Robin Thicke, only knew him as Thicke...haha...
but recently when i tuned in to the radio.... i was immediately hooked on by this song when the intro was played... i dunno why but the guitar accompaniment i just irresistable (couldnt find a better word to describe it)
Then the second song "DOn't you worry bout the thing" by John Legend... I remember sitting at Shaw house McCafe, mugging there with bebeth and this song was played over n over again... just love the tune n everything.... but actually the person who introduces me to this song was alice... haha i remember her telling me that it was "Hitch" soundtrack...and i love it ever since...
u noe, after compiling a playlist of my favourite songs, i can somehow make a generalisation of wad kind of song i like....
it's really not just by genre or by singer (or maybe i dunno wad genre it is called anyway).... but i can say that i like songs that are not just sang by singers with great voice but wad is important to me is really the music and the accompaniment. the kind of music that can make u feel "jumpy" or the kind of music that really soothes my mind...haha
hm... sounds so chiiiimmm.... but yeah....
