Good Job Mink!

hehe... giving myself a good pat! for not ordering iced milk tea from MOS burger... instead went out and drank herbal tea...

yeah... u must be wondering what's the big deal!

well, ahem... i myself was able to suppress my cravings for iced drinks/milk tea type.... *very proud of myself... haha

and some more, this month old mink didn't get herself sick wor... after all the food she has indulged during this december month... yea.. treats for birthday, dong zhi, and christmas and new year.... ahhh old mink sure loves december! haha...

okie... wait for my next post which i think are pretty serious thoughts that i have in mind! just too lazy to write it now... haha...stay tuned, folks!

My December - Linkin Park

My Baby :)

Yeah! I got my new baby... the name is G....
Baby-G! haha...

well, been eying at watches for a very long time (still not used to the days without a watch)...and in the end wanted a more sporty type of watch...hence, the Baby-G :p

the thing is today must be my lucky day to have met this shop assistant...the shop was having promotion..having 20% discount...then i liked the white band baby...so think for quite a long time, looked at other watches...still tried on my baby...then tried other colour type baby models....still not as nice as the white one... hesitated... in the end bought! haha...

then at the cashier counter, expected to pay with 20% discount lor... then this guy assistant while nicely packaging my baby into a box, asked, "local?"... i said "nope! malaysian", with a smile :p well, i was kinda dumbfounded when he asked whether i was local, coz i was speaking in cantonese with him...locals seldom speak canton lah... then i asked him, where's he from? he said, malaysian too! then, when payment came, he said, give u additional 5%...coz we same kampung....wahhhh... so nice of him....hehe... nvr expected it...then gave him a bigger smile and thanked him...

so moral of the story? hehe.. always give a BIG smile to a guy sales person... who knows u can get a good discount... haha

p/s: ooh... and i found out my baby model was really the latest one... released 2 months ago only...

Viva la Vida (unplugged) - Coldplay

Snail Mail

Yup, snail mail.. and i'm lovin' it :)

With today's technology, snail mail was kinda abandoned. Now there's e-mail, sms etc, where u get to send ur messages instantly, who would still depend on snail mail??? But then, sending letters through post is kinda different feeling. U get the sincerity as people had the time to spend on buying stamps and sending the letter to the nearest post office/kiosk. I would feel touched if I got a letter from someone giving regards by mail. There are only a few mails that I kept until now :) There's one postcard from Australia by my mum and sis while they were visiting the place... haha... coz I requested them to coz they never bring me over there :( and also got a letter during my uni days, my friend sent a letter asking how I was coping in uni. so touched :p

Today I just sent a postcard back to my dad and mum. Haha.. friends asked, why bother? so "wu liao"...zzz... I answered back, "let post office earn my 30 cents".... hahaha... just joking... :p
Should have sent the postcard from Bali island instead back in Singapore, like that would be more meaningful, eh? But oh well, sending from here almost the same. :) let's see how long it takes to send back to my hometown! haha

Poker Face (Acoustic) - Lady Gaga

I'm Already Gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Birthday Weekend

yup. i've just turned 26 today...
gave myself a birthday treat by going to bali island.
before i turned to 26, i finally get to go clubbing for once...

Boys Like Girls - Two is better than one ( too bad this version doesn't include Taylor Swift)

the biggest loser

Harlow!

Hallmark channel was airing "biggest loser" marathon over the weekend. I so sienz coz of my cold that i watch the finale of it. Last time, i was not really supportive of this kind of show, coz u see ppl exercising until they vomit and still being pushed forward till they get exhausted... I was like, why would i wanna watch ppl suffering and vomit and all that...

But then, after yesterday, my view of this program has totally changed. Wow... u can really say that this is the best kind of reality tv show that is beneficial to all the contestants who took part in this contest. I mean, all of them are winners even though they didn't get to win the prize of 250 grand.

It's amazing that u see those really obese ppl turn into normal people with a healthy weight. Such a drastic change in their body shape. I felt happy for each and everyone of them, that after the show, they maintained a healthy lifestyle and no longer becoming obese and less prone to bad health situation.

However i think there's a flaw in this competition... guys reduce weight much easier than women... so unfair... if one week, those women lost 5 lbs, guys normally lose double that amount. of course they weigh more than the girls and they count the percentage of their weight loss... but still, seems pretty unfair that for all the seasons, guys are the winners...

Well, good news is that this program is not only in the US anymore.. now, they are having Biggest Loser Asia...good for ppl in asia! :)

Lagu Lama

suddenly had an itch to listen malay song... haha...
think the first malay song artiste that i liked was Amy Mastura...
she was a winner from Asia Bagus - a competition for singer wannabes for countries in Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan...
wah... that time i give her all my support coz she was the only Malaysian contestant and her voice quite power at that time... and she won the grand final...
this songs a bit old but reflects the 90's song (the dancing and clothings)... haha...what memories!

Amy Mastura - Jawapan Kasih (love's answer)

Haus am See (House at the Lake)

Guten Abend!
quite a cute song! in German :)
Ich will ein Haus am See auch! must be daydreaming... haha

父母爱

这是我现在的感触。悲！
看见一个爸爸为了女儿做饭洗衣。等着她的回来和她一起吃饭。可是她却很迟才会来，爸爸无法等到她回来也先吃了。把晚餐当成为宵夜。吃饭也坐在门口旁，似乎等待她的回来。
哎！我为那爸爸心疼啊。
爸爸等女儿平安回来的滋味真的真的不好受。
我以前也同样犯了这个错。那时年纪还小吧，每一次都埋怨爸妈都在控制着我，很多东西都不能让我去做，不能己所欲为。不知在什么时候，突然领悟他们的用心良苦，每一时刻都在为他们的孩子操心。所以啊，我尽我的能力不让他们操心。

容祖兒-我的驕傲

Slow Jogs

Just went for a jog... haha... felt really nice after a jog...

yea.. recently been trying to train up my stamina... thanks to my nephew, who has been pestering me to go for those runs and finally signed myself up for this charity run - 'run for hope singapore'

and i last time used to dread to go for jogging... why? coz everytime i jog, i have no stamina, and secondly, i start to have pain at my right abdomen as i jog... and i found out what's the reason right now... it's called "side stitch"... well, there's studies on why side stitch happen and one of it saying that because the liver is at the right side, and when u don't breathe properly, ur diaphragm presses on the right liver and starts to hurt...so if u stop for awhile, it won't be painful anymore... if it still hurts, then it's another problem and have to go check with medical doctor already... so the counter for it is: breathe when u are stepping on ur left leg instead of the right step... it sure helps a lot for me :) that's why i can continue to jog... haha

now starting to have an exercise plan for me... at least jog twice a week...how many rounds? haha... still a beginner level, slowly and gradually add up the rounds...
btw, it will be very encouraging if u guys let me know if i got slim down after awhile..... haha... :p

Black Eyed Peas - I Got A Feeling

행북게 (Happiness)

what is happiness?
just a thought...
are you happy right now? how do u define happiness?
for me, simple...
everyday when i wake up in the morning, i am happy coz i lived for another day :)
i am happy that i am blessed with a life with no disability, that i lead a normal life...
i can walk, talk, see, hear, sense, feel, think, eat, sleep...
i am blessed to have caring family and friends too...
but somehow, us humans will always grumble when we are not satisfied (sometimes it's just some very small matters) and this causes unhappiness... this only creates trouble for ourselves... haha... so why not we let it go and just be simple?
but then not easy to let go and be simple sometimes.... haiz....
very complicated! zzz

The Saturdays - Issues

Some ppl just won't listen and act!

Big Bang - Haru Haru

halloz

long time didn't touch this blog... hand itchy but nothing to update leh... haha..so far nothing interesting happened...
anyway, last weekend was at home again...
suddenly received a call from a malay...
"assalamualaikum" from the person...
erm... first time i receive such a call...stunned abit... should i reply back "walaikumsalam?"
then keep back my mouth, thought only malays say those and later i say wrong.
anyway, it was a wrong call, and testing my spoken malay language -.-''
and, from my voice, that person called me "ah moi"... hmm.. why cannot aunty arr? haha... sigh... wish my voice is abit rough... sighz...

and to those who are born in 1983, this lunar month advice is "情缘未尽，顺其自然"
haha.. i was very wu liao at home and flip through the chinese calender to take a look... wonder what that advice means also...haha

Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes

I Love You Mummy & Daddy!

hmm... just wondering how many of u guys and gals say "I love you mum dad." ?
it's such interesting that since we are already in adulthood, we don't say those 3 letter words to mummy and daddy anymore like we used to when we were kids. maybe just happens in the asian culture.
even simple loving gestures like holding mum's hand, hugging her, or even kiss on the cheeks? never do that anymore?
i was utterly in disbelief that my friend told me that he don't even say out loud happy birthday to his mum, just give her a text msg. -.-''
ok lah...saying I love you is abit too much maybe... haha... even i won't say that also... for me, i'm a more action and gesture than words type of person. won't say those 3 letter words... still can remember my ex-bf keep forcing me to say those words when i don't even feel like to. gets frustrating also when u are forced to say those words also. felt like it's pretty meaningless by just saying out loud...
but then, i have always loved my mum and dad...i would give them birthday kiss, give mum hugs and kisses whenever i leave home, hold mum's hand a lot to show how much i missed her. ok, gesture towards dad was practically zero. i also dunno why, it has been reduced to zero since i was in puberty le... haha... maybe is 男女授受不亲?
all i wanna say is that our parents are getting older and older and one day will leave us. If only we could do something to show our concern, show how much we love them... i think they would have love that too! so start showing your love towards ur parents from now on! hehe

Random Updates

this post is just some random updates :)

*****
last Sunday was my first trip to tree top walk near MacRitchie Reservoir. went with gals. together got 4 of us. Abit scary at first when we walked inside the park thru venus drive. On the way saw a group of monkeys. Scared that they would attack us (all thanks to the monkeys at my home loh, i know how they can behave when they come in groups)... No wonder the sign says it's dangerous to walk that path lah...

anyway, while walking towards tree top walk, saw 2 hunks jogging... nice body they have... and all sweaty... :p managed to capture their pic from behind... ahhh.. what a sight!

lunch we had in Liang Court (Clarke Quay), ate at 2 diff places... erm.. main course Jap food, dessert Italian food... haha... anyway, found out the place selling cheap Escargot (snails) at this Italian rest. Only 5++... first time i ever tasted snails and not bad!

*****
remb the wear-skirt-for-the-whole-week challenge? I took it up and today was the final day. hehe... the prize was only apple carrot juice with milk.... cheap right? but the victory was sweet and priceless... haha... because nvr ever underestimate me! haha...

anyway, on the course of wearing skirt for the whole week, ppl been questioning why i wear so nice.. "go out on date ahhh?" "what's the special occasion?" lolz... some ppl also commented that i look nice, look very 淑女... and some more unknown person smiled at me for no reason -.-'' maybe they think i "fatt hao" lately also... haha
and finally i can wear back my jeans! so relieved!

What I've Done

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no Alibi
‘Cause I’ve Drawn Regret
From the truth
Of a Thousand Lies

So let Mercy Come
And Wash Away

what i`ve Done
I've faced myself
To Cross out what I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And let Go of What I’ve done

Put to rest
What you Thought of Me
While I clean this Slate
With the Hands of Uncertainty

For What I’ve Done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m Forgiving What I’ve Done

What I’ve Done
Forgiving What I’ve Done

*****
i've sinned. i've done something bad recently. was misguided recently. need to repent on what i've done wrongly. Thank you Buddha for leading me back to the right path. Please grant me wisdom and strength to stay on the right path. Amitabha!

RIP Patrick Swayze

This morning was on the bus, saw the news of him. Initially didn't take too much notice of his news, but when the news headline showed that he died of pancreatic cancer, I respect him totally. He has been fighting the disease and struggling for the past 20 months and still involved in filming drama series "The Beast" when he was sick. No kidding for a cancer patient who undergoes treatment and still have the energy for acting. I guess he must have loved acting.
For those of you who don't know he is, he's the one who acted in "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost". Go youtube and watch his dancing moves in "Dirty Dancing" and his infamous pottery making session with Demi Moore in "Ghost".
May you rest peacefully, Patrick.

p/s: think the Beast series is currently showing in AXN channels... mayb i should start watching this show... :p

Lady-like Mink?

hehe... today dunno what mood i was into that this morning when i wake up i felt like wearing a skirt? haha.... it's very rare for me wearing a skirt lor... once in a blue moon...
and then my friends always give a shocking look that i wore skirt to school.. =.=''
what? i'm a girl lor... not that i can't wear skirt what.. hahaz....
but wearing skirt make me look quite feminine i guess, got the teacher type look... ppl always commented that...haha... happy coz seldom get praises that i'm lady like lor...
then got ppl challenged me to wear skirt in school for the whole week leh....
still thinking of whether to accept the challenge... quite challenging for me also... coz i have to act lady like for the whole week? so uncomfortable... and some more must sit properly... and some more lab very cold sometimes ler.... still thinking...haha....

Too Blunt Too Sharp

Today i just realized that what I say does affect other ppl. Sometimes, I say words that are too blunt and straightforward that it will hurt other parties. I'm sorry if you've heard what I've said and still taking it at heart. I didn't mean it. I apologize for what I've said. That's why I rather be a listener than talking. Blame it on my Sagittarius traits, I guess... Nah... Think I shall watch out my mouth sometimes...Sometimes silence is virtue. Reflect reflect...

Korean Gene

Annyeonghaseyo!
hehe...tempted to learn Korean...can bluff ppl that I have korean blood in me.... haha...

牛郎织女

Today is the 7th day of the 7th Chinese Lunar Month. (七夕)
This is the only day of the year that both Niulang and Zhinv get to see each other. Both are separated and were allowed to rejoin on this day thru a bridge formed by birds. Talk about long distance relationship!
I wonder is it that these two days raining was because of Zhinv crying. Sigh! Poor thing, her eyes must be very swollen...

wonder

i'm wondering what i am doing right now?
most ppl at my age, either have lots of $$, building a career, or having preparation for a new family.
i have none of the above... sighz...
i dun have any $$. i dun have a career yet. and i dun even have a mate to start a family.
just wondering only... another 3 months and 20 days... i'm turning 26! but i think i'm in the mindset of forever sticking my age to 25.... haha... still young at heart can already... :)

btw, had a funny conversation with my nephew... he was asking me to sponsor his camera lens... er.... as usual, i say i very poor lor... and he don't believe... and he say i will spend like a duchess for my marriage... HAHA...dunno how he suddenly touched the marriage topic also...
first of all, ur aunty here don't even have a partner to have a marriage in mind lor...
second of all, even if i were to get married, i won't spend $$ on my wedding. just spend a few bucks on ROM fees, a small tea ceremony and one or two dinner table with both sides of the family...GAO DIM! oh and i forgot, need wedding ring hor? no need too extravagant, just a small symbollic of being married... haha... that's all.. simple and practical！:p

home sweet home

i was talking to my friend the other day 'coz i wanted to pass him something back at home...
so he offered to come to my house and collect stuff...
then i asked him, "u still remember my place?"
this is what he replied, "the top of XX garden. who can forget?"
haha... yea... the top of the garden... no need directions also know how to find... haha

my home, was built by my daddy's hands.. even before i was born at that time...
my daddy bought this piece of land, next to a rubber tree area, next to a small hill, and build it with bricks and wood...
my home, a windy place...winds will blow and the sound is quite scary at times, like those in the children's story when it was raining and the trees are swaying hard...
my home, a wild place... u occasionally see wild animals over at my place... wild boar, wild chickens, eagle, snake, squirrel, monkeys, and even tapir too!

ahh... thinking of home... just makes u wanna go back... i really miss home... and i really miss my parents... they provide me with shelter, food and water... sigh... just miss them so much... always praying hard that they are in good shape...

KPop

been listening to kpop music recently..though dunno what they were saying in the song... haha..









*i want nobody nobody but chew... haha

Lifetime Partner

hmm... was playing this quiz "Who is your lifetime match" the other day on fb...

dunno how true it is... the person i need to look for is a gemini... haha

but the description is quite true la...

here goes the description:

You're not prone to falling head over heels in love. However, you do find yourself falling in love, but slowly. Beforehand, you like to put your devoted admirer to the test. You need intellectual exchanges. To seduce you, this person best not be your average Joe and they will know how to get off the beaten track. And most importantly, they won't smother you. Very independent you are and you need your freedom to be happy. Before committing yourself, you reflect for a long time, which generally allows you to make the right decision. It's not easy to tie an you down... But it's a different matter with this kind of person. You will find their intelligence and bubbly character attractive. You can speak about anything with them and are enriched by your contact with them. They respect your independent spirit because they are also obsessed with liberty. You don't feel like they enclose you in a cage. Quite the opposite, they help you to escape from routine. And in bed, all's good! You're both very imaginative and have a lot of fun together.

hope i can one! haha..maybe not lifetime partner la... just casual partner... hehe

Superstitious?

I'm not those superstitious type...but sigh...no choice but to follow...

tomorrow morning is the solar eclipse. It will end at 9.40am.

I was told that my astrological sign will have bad effect if i'm outside of my house during that time. Call me superstitious, but i was reminded at least three times to not go out during the eclipse time...really "toink" to follow it, but i've got choice to follow the reminder...

Sienz!

very sienz...
so youtube some old and funny korean game show (x-man) to make myself happy :p
one part of the show is "dangyunhaji" which means "当然了" or "of course!", whereby the opponent say something that you must reply "dangyunhaji". so, that something can be some personal attack, which makes the whole show funny... haha
so here's a video clip, enjoy!



p/s: the girl is the actress in the "goong" drama.

birth.old.sick.death

sad

at this hour, i had a really bad feeling about it...
so when i heard the news through the phone, i was totally in blankness... though i still can listen to the details and everything... after putting down the phone, i sat there, motionless...felt sad...think awhile...and started to have some tears when i told the news to the ppl concerned with the issue...
everyone must stay strong, including myself...here's the time to give support

house moving

ahhhh... i hate house moving...
and for all you know, i regretted for not calling the lorry/van...
made 3 cab trips... scolded by 2 cab drivers (first one was given the wrong pick up address, second one refuse to transport our stuffs to the new place) and the price still comes to the same...
and i never knew we had so much stuff!!!
took 2 days to finally settle all the stuffs and a clean environment to stay in...
now adjusting to new place...not a bad place...though abit noisy, still need sometime to adapt...still got many things to explore here, like what are the good food around here! hahaha
super tired now... sleep liao...

p/s: saw HOD(head of division) at giant hypermart... gave me a very very friendly wave...omg... i think he remembers all his division's students! btw, he has a cute baby in the pram... maybe less than 1 yr old...

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

So so wanna watch transformers 2! waited for so long, ever since the first transformer movie was out, which was in 2007? ahhh, almost 2 years already... opening next week 24th June...can't wait to watch this at my favorite cinema...hehe...
plus, cute Shia is back again! and the autobots and decepticons of course! :)
another plus, soundtrack is again by Linkin Park... been listening to their new song again and again and again...never get bored at all...though still prefer "what i've done" song... but this one not bad too... just love their songs :)

emo

have been very emo lately...
all the negative feelings encountered within these few weeks...
shocked...sad...disgusted...disappointed...frustrated...mad...
a used to be happy go lucky gal suddenly see the world as not that happy as she perceived to be...
and some more you have to put on the big smile as if nothing has happened...those pretentious smile, which last time i hated ppl doing that... but now, i finally understand why ppl like to fake their smile...
it's easier said than done though...
i've discovered the inner side of me that how ugly i can be... to be honest, i've never seen myself getting that mad before... i've never cried so many a times before...
maybe it's the emotional i'm handling thru...need some time to reconstruct my emotions and some confidence...anyway, i will be fine eventually...

soul

hmm... do u believe in soul? the other day, i had a conversation with the cleaning makcik... the usual complaining the students here who likes to dirty the place... making a lot of work for her...
then suddenly we touched some disturbing conversation...


FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL STUDYING IN NTU, PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER!

forgot how we touched on the conversation about the suicide case in school... she told me, "ada orang masih nampak roh dia kat kawasan sini...berjalan-jalan... pakcik kata dia nampak dlm siang hari pun..." (translation: got ppl saw his soul roaming around here... uncle said he even saw him in bright day light)

my first expression? eh... true or not? how come i don't see one? rumor lah! but makcik say it until like very true... dun wan to argue with her... haha...

something buggering my mind

when life is not a bed of roses, only then you start to realize.
ignorance is a bliss. but sometimes things aren't that simple to ignore.

-random quotes.. hehe

Para Para Dance

Remember the dance in "Para Para Sakura"?
Gosh, i can still remember a little bit of this dance move. I learned it during my form six days. Boy, we had so much fun dancing together.
So, today after lunch, friends were talking about dances. and i thought this dance that i've learnt. So while walking back to my lab, I made those hand dance movements. Friends were behind me. I wasn't aware of the ppl walking behind me lah... and out of sudden a prof passed right beside me and my hand accidentally hit his arm. So embarassing lor... >.<

anyway, mood these days not really good i think... do not know how to describe the feelings inside me... just that now i finally understand feelings, emotions, and most of all love. the selfless love. the experience of heart aches, emotions when everything come together. i never knew i was so dumb all this while. i just wish that i wasn't too late to find this out. and maybe it's a good thing i found out too.

simple cooking

ooo... can't believe it...
i can cook in 30 minutes time...ahem... not to brag myself, but i can cook, but only simple cooking...haha
anyway, it was fried rice la...took me 10 minutes to prepare ingredients, 15 minutes to cook and 5 minutes to wash...
not bad not bad... for a first timer to cook fried rice... haha...

Collectibles

Ooooh... it's been such a long time I have a collection....well, i stopped it ever since i've realized that all these not very useful collections in the end would have to end up in the dumpster. haha... and especially now, i'm living like a nomad, every once a year have to move to a new place... certain things will get thrown away...
but then, what attracted me to start a collection now was when McD started introducing the coca-cola coloured contour glasses...and i was fortunately given a lime green coloured one by a friend of mine...and when i got hold of one, i saw how nice it was... so, i was determined to have the whole collection...
so now i got hold of 3... and there's remaining 3 more.... so friends, if you see this, may need ur help la... i mean if you dun want the glasses, please give to me... haha... or u feeling of having a McD meal, i can treat u in turn to get the glass... haha...but it all depends on my mood also... if my mood no good, i might end up eating McD myself to cheer myself up... haha..food really makes my day...

update: i got another one from my "beloved" nephew... haha...so now left two more... keke... thanks nephew

silence

i think for now... keeping in silence shall be the best policy...
don't feel like talking anymore...

funny tests!

did some funny tests on fb... and the results? make me wanna laugh out loud! lol

first one: 你的單身指數有幾高? (direct translation: what is the level of your singlehood status?)
result: 20%
你是一個很容易就發出電力的可愛灰姑娘,世界上適合你的玻璃鞋許多,等候你的情人一個接一個,只因你是一個善解人意的人。你雖然對未來有些憂心忡忡,但是,又有誰會沒有一點對未來的擔心?祝福你早日得到陪伴你一生的情人。
i wanna laugh at the first few lines. "you are a very cute cinderella, easy at sending electric signals, the whole world has a plenty of glass slippers that is suitable for you. the awaiting lovers come one by one, just because you are very understanding person. bla bla bla..."
oh my gosh... CUTE? lol...

second one: 你被別人暗戀的指數有多高!? (direct translation: what is the level of ppl having crush on you?)
result:「對話傳情型」: 80%
感性的你容易在言語中向別人挑逗暗示，讓人覺得你好像在告訴對方可以接近。
you can easily give ppl some flirty hints during your conversation, let ppl felt that you are telling them that they can come closer to you.
oh my gosh... did i do that? lol...

third one: 異性眼中的魅力指數 (direct transliation: what is the level of the attraction towards opposite gender)
result: 75%
你是個樂觀、大方的人，異性通常會很樂意與你接近，特別是你陽光般的微笑，更是為你增添了幾分魅力。只是，太過開朗讓你少了些許神秘感。你對公眾生活感興趣，並渴望在其中扮演一個角色。魅力、雅致是你不可分割的部分，理所當然，你對於異性一直保持著相當大的吸引力。
you are an optimist, generous person, opposite gender are willing to hang out with you, especially your bright sunny smile which added the attraction. But, overly cheerful makes you less myterious. bla bla bla....

so ridiculously funny kind of explanation.... haha...
anyway, while blogging this, was awfully happy that nephew said i act lady-like during a friends' birthday buffet session... haha....which reminds me, why i didn't like chinese food buffet all this while...'cos of 2 reasons. first, the food are either stir-fried, deep-fried, everything fried...so heaty... the next day i had to drink "lo hon guo" to reduce the heatiness... 2nd reason: there's no pastry/cakes/ice cream/puddings/any sweet sweet stuff, except the sago and red bean soup. no wonder throughout the whole dinner course, the only food that i liked was the "man tou"...anyway, even though food was not good, i enjoyed friends' company and a jolly good laugh...

All grown up!

Reality starts to kick in...
The used-to-be cheerful gal starts to get hit by the reality. And a hard hit too.
Actually she was so protected or ignorant to what is happening to her, that there was no worries in her whole 25 years of life.
She's now realized that she is a grown up and not a kid anymore.
Be tough, girl! Even though she has her own worries and stress, disclosing to the people she cared the most is not the best option anymore. 'Cos they have their own worries and stress as well.
Beginning to grown up now and slowly becoming more matured.
Yeah, it's tough to handle all these... but eventually she needs to grow up, no matter what.

i'll be good

just wanna share something that I heard from dhamma talk.
How do you differentiate between good and bad?
Good or bad is based on your own self judgement. Not listening to somebody about what they think is good or bad.
Good is those won't harm yourself and other people.
Bad is those harm yourself and other people.
In whatever situation that needed a decision, a good or bad decision, you have to think whether

1. is it out of selfish act?
2. is it out of ill will?
3. is it out of stupidity?
4. is it out of fear?

if any of the answer is a yes, then it is bad. and all have to based on the whole situation and judgement.
so, here's hoping everyone to be good.
i'll be good, with no stupidity, i guess.

more stories that i heard from the talk actually. yawnz... share it next time la. nite nite

How well do you know me?

Recently, I created a “How well do you know me?” quiz in facebook and let friends try it. And the result? Think I was unpredictable. Haha…Nobody scored well including my sis. And actually the quiz was a tough and tricky one too!
So here goes friends, the explanations for the answers to the quiz.

• Black
• Brown
• Blue
• Green

Answer: Green. I like all kinds of green.

2. Which colour do I dislike the most?

• Pink
• Red
• Orange
• Yellow
• Purple

Answer: Red. Probably I should be more specific here. Chilli Red. I hate bright reds, including Chinese New Year those kinds of reds. Most ppl answered pink. Yea. My love and hate of pink change very often. And at this moment, I love pink wor…Haha

3. Which of the following bands sang my favorite song?

• The Wallflowers
• Matchbox Twenty
• Goo Goo Dolls
• The Script
• Savage Garden

Answer: The Wallflowers. They sang “One Headlight” which I have been very loyal to this song for almost 13 years. The rest of the bands sang songs that I like, but wasn’t the favorite.

4. What was the first English nickname given by friend?

• Kimmy
• Kimberly
• Kim Kim
• Jimmy
• Emily

Answer: Jimmy. This nickname was given during primary school. When I first introduced myself to friends in a school camp, I speak my Chinese name too fast until they heard “Jimmy Hua” instead of “Jin Ming Hua”. The “ng” sound was silent. During the entire camp period, I was called Jimmy. And for the rest of options, I was also given those nicknames as well, but was during my secondary school.

5. Favorite candy/sweet?

• Butterscotch
• Toffee
• Choc Éclair
• Mint
• Lollipop

Answer: Choc Éclair. I prefer Choc Éclair ‘coz it has the caramel and chocolate in the middle. The second close answer was toffee. But toffee is too sweet for me sometimes.

6. What would I be willing to eat for 10,000 dollars?

• Cockroach
• Worm
• Lizard
• Grasshopper
• Cricket

Answer: Lizard. Haha… Surprising? To tell u the truth, I have tasted lizard when I was very young. I picked up a dead lizard and chewed it. I couldn’t remember the taste of it. So I guess I would have been able to eat it again. Anyway, lizard is a type of meat only. Still edible. The other options are definite no for me. Yes, I’m those adventurous type, I would go bungee jump and sky dive, but eating bugs? Never. I think of the bugs taste are bitter and imagine eating it, the slimy juice oozes out. Yuck.

7. My favourite sport to watch is?

• Formula One racing
• Tennis
• Badminton
• Football
• Basketball

Answer: Tennis. I love to watch grand slam tournament on tv. Last time, I love to watch F1, but ever since Schuey left, the race was not exciting anymore.

8. If I had to eat the same kind of food for a month, what type would it be?

• Pizza
• Bread
• Rice
• Noodle
• Porridge

Answer: Noodle. People who choose pizza know that this is my favourite food among the 5 choices. (good for you! ) But, if I were to have this food over and over again for the whole month, I will definitely hate it for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t want to risk turning my favourite food to the food I hate the most, would I? People who choose rice totally doesn’t know me at all. I don’t like to eat rice at all. As for bread and porridge, I’m ok ok with it only. The reason I chose noodle is because this is the only thing I won’t hate if I were to eat over and over again. And who says you cannot change the flavor of the noodle? Can be fishball noodle, fish noodle, wan tan mee, hokkien mee, char kuey teow, laksa…. Wahahaha…

Hidden Talents

It seems Britain's Got Talent is providing a lot of hot news recently. Each week we've had a surprising talented person emerged out from this country.

The first was Susan Boyle. Millions of hits in Youtube to watch how her performance was during the show. Yeah, I agree she had an amazing voice despite her looks. That says it all. I still don't understand why people are so hyper about it. Yeah yeah.. We all judged her by her looks and condemned that she was a lousy singer until she opens up her voice. Sure, she had an amazing voice. And that's all about it! There are so many talented singers out there who can sing and act in the broadway lah, but also same as her who is waiting for a chance to get to perform. So, there's nothing to talk so much about.

Then a week later, Shaheen Jafargholi performed. 12 year old boy who sang exceptionally well when he was given another opportunity by Simon. But this talent was not as huge publicized by the media as Susan.

Another week passed, another contestant wowed us again. 10 year old ballerina, Hollie Steel who had an amazing voice as well. She was again misjudged by Simon when he wanted to stop her dancing until she opens up her voice.

I must say, Britain had a lot of hidden talents. They really sing so well but wasn't given chances to break into the commercialized music industry. Way to go, Britain! Continue digging up hidden talents in your country. Look at Leona Lewis from X-factor, how successful she is.

nightmare

I had the worst nightmare ever. Nope, not dreaming about monsters or anything stuff like that.
This dream I had was so realistic to me. I seldom had such logical kind of dream and can still remember every detail after waking up. Probably it was my guilty conscious towards this person. I dreamed of my ex.
I dreamed that we reconcile back. At first, it was a good feeling to get back together with him. Then suddenly, it turned bad. It reminded me why we broke up. We were not in talking terms again and break up again.
Probably this was not very scary to you. But it was to me. Dreams like these give a logical hint, which in this dream hinted me that I fear of committing myself into another relationship. The heartaches that we have to endure in a relationship is not fun at all. Being carefree is still the best for the moment ;)

Another nightmare to some of the women out there is getting old. I said some! me not included in that category. Haha. Getting old is one of the journey that we had to go through. Yeah, getting loose fats, cellulites, crowfeet, wrinkles, grey hair are not very pleasant looking, but it will be part of our body when we age. We had to deal with that.
Still, we hate to admit we are getting old when our heart is still young. So, when little kids called us aunty/uncle, sometimes you would still grudge abt it. "Why? Do I look so old? Why not called as kor kor/jie jie (brother/sister)?" Haha.
A cute incident happened to me regarding the "aunty rank". A cute little girl was holding back the lift when I came back home. I wanted to enter the lift, then she blocked me, saying, "等一下aunty" (wait aunty). I thought she refered me as aunty. Few seconds later, there was another aunty fastened her pace and entered the lift. Only then I realized she was referring to her aunty and not me.
I didn't mind about being called as aunty anyway. I have a cute 3 year old niece, a 25 year old nephew (he called me for fun sake lah and gave me tonnes of creative nicknames). And my friends are having babies already! Rank promoted! Haha.

guessing games

ooh... don't you like guessing games on tv?

there's a new show on tv, "Harper's Island", which lets you have some suspense and guessing games too! It airs on every friday in US, while in Singapore, it shows on Sundays. Last week just had the pilot episode. A total of 13 episodes and only have one season (not like most drama that drags on to forever never ending episodes until the scriptwriter ran out of ideas and it isn't interesting anymore)

well, the plot is this. A group of people attend a wedding reunion in an island, where gruelsome murders happened some years ago and the killer is dead. And guess what? this group of visitor shall meet their doom when they set foot on this island. At least one person get killed for each episode. So, the guessing begins... who is the killer? who is the next victim?

what's even more interesting is that the actors who acted in it did not receive their full scripts. They only get the scripts for that particular episode. So, they were kept dark on who is the killer as well. Ahhh.. must be really suspense for the actors. Everytime they get their scripts, they would also think, "Am I the next victim? or I'm still surviving?" They would be guessing who is the killer as well.

It's kinda cool to have this sort of idea from the creator. It's like drama + reality show. But I hope the ending isn't so predictable. So far, the pilot episode builds up the characters' story, and there are really a lot of characters in it. And the series is not as gruelsome as I thought it was supposed to be ( I still think the most gross killing film is still "Saw"). Yup. Up till now, 2 person was killed. Can't wait to know who is the killer.

Another reality tv show I liked which had contestants play guessing game is "The Mole". It's not a very popular show here but somehow I watched it way back in high school days and could still remember enjoying the show. The idea is this, this group of contestants will be working as a team to play challenges that add money to their prize, which only one person can win it in the end. The catch is here, there will be a person called as "the mole" who will be sabotaging the group's prize money. Contestants will need to identify the identity of the mole. So, at the end of each episode, contestants will need to answer a few multiple choice questions on who they think is the mole. The person with the least correct answer will get eliminated.

Quite fun right? wish I could participate such a game too. i mean reality shows like "the mole" and not "harper's island". I don't wanna get killed. hehe

p/s: changed my blog layout. beginning to like pink colour again. haha. and I added some of my favourite music too :)

Being a woman is meant to suffer

This is just in a girl's point of view.
You see, once you are born as a girl, your suffering journey begins.
I'm sure every girl out there will dread when every monthly period comes and visits her.
Different girl have different symptoms. Some better ones get good appetite. Some mild ones get bloated stomach, mood swings. Some worse ones get backaches, fatigue, stomach crampy, vomiting etc. Every month varies depending on the diet you had. Sometimes you forbid yourself eating the food that you love because of the consequence after eating it will be dead dreadful. That sucks!
Sometimes period is late or too early, you start worry whether you had some health problems.
Apart from suffering this monthly thingy, if you are lucky enough, you get to have babies. And no joke, you suffer from morning sickness for the first 3 months, then your stomach get bigger and bigger. and in labor, you suffer the pain again to give birth to the baby (unless you opt for Caesarean, lesser pain). Health problem arises if you didn't take good care of your body after giving birth. And you are in charge of taking care of the kids, sacrificing yourself for the family you and your man starts.
So, men out there, please do give some consideration to your lovely woman partner. I know men also have to suffer as well, but in a different kind of way. You have no idea how painful the feeling us woman have all this while, and also the hurtful feelings if you didn't show some concern towards us.

p/s: this entry is dedicated to my friend, who has a bf which in my opinion is acting like a selfish jerk!

Car Accident

I went back to my hometown last weekend for Qing Ming. It's been long long years I haven't pay a visit to my grandparents. Helped family members do some errand that Saturday. So I had the guts to drive the car, to tone my rusty driving skills. (Actually I'm not afraid of driving on the road. It's more of afraid of parking the car, coz my judgement skills are lousy, especially on parallel parking. Even the normal swerve in parking, I can't even park in the box properly. I would park until it got over other car's parking slot. hehe)

All the way, nothing happened. Until the time to go back home, near my house junction, I met a minor accident. And it wasn't my fault. I was driving straight as usual, pass by the motorbike who later suddenly swerve into the left side of my car. Apparently avoiding something, which i can't remember. I immediately hit the brakes and the guy on the motorbike make a slow motion of falling down from his bike. My left back door was greatly scratched by the motorbike.

And at the moment, I was in shock. Didn't know what to do, traumatized. There was traffic jam coz my car blocking the road. I pull my car aside and went down to check whether the guy was okay or not. He had some scratches on his leg, bleeding. He said he was alright. Asked whether need to go hospital or have some first aid supplies as we are in front of a temple. He said he was alright and said it was his fault. So we didn't make police report and both of us drove away. Luckily there were some passerbys who helped him to get up and so-on. Coz I totally didn't know what to do.

And you know what? when i reached back, got slight scolding from my dad. He says any accident must go report to the police and get witness and also insurance. He asked me what's the bike's number and his telephone number? I said, i dunno. Then kena scold again. Must know the number just in case they go and report that you are at fault. These things very hard to argue. And somemore, you don't know maybe that guy who fell down at first seems okay, but later had some broken bone or something. Only then I realized what I should have done at that time which I didn't do. I was feeling damn guilty about it.

Having phobia of the motorbikes already. Think need some time to get back my courage to drive again. My first ever accident. But, luckily no one was hurt. So, here's a note of what to do in case of an accident:

1. Pull over your car to the side.
2. Asked the person whether he/she is okay. If not, go to hospital immediately.
3. Whether it is a minor accident, make a police report. So that both sides can claim insurance for the damage of the car.
   
4. Get the contact number of the other party.
5. If you don't know how to handle, call for immediate help, ie your family. They should have more experience in these.
   
6. Drive with extra alert next time on the roads!

Still feeling bad for the biker even though is not my fault. And also felt bad for the car scratch. Motorbikes should have some protection or something. Maybe helmet just not enough, should have ankle, arm, knee guard la...=(

A Girl's Tolerance

today, i got a question popped up from one of my girlfriends.
She asked, "To what extent do you allow a guy friend to have physical touch on you?"
And immediately i thought she got harassed by her male colleague again? Luckily it was not. She was just curious of my answer and my accepted tolerance.

Well, first of all, we would see the situation lor. Shoulders, arms are okay. and even head or hair are still okay. But a definite no no for legs and backs. But then all these depend on the whole situation. We girls are very sensitive and know what's happening.

Then she asked again, "what about a kiss on the face?"

Then also have to depend on situation lor. If he's a very open minded person and the reason for kissing on face would be meant for greetings or congratulating you, then i wouldn't mind that. Even hugging also okay. and of course, not those bear huggy type la...But then all these only apply to open minded person like ang mohs and very very close friends. Normally asians won't do that. Then my friend say i bias... lol...

All in all, of course we must judge whether there's any other bad intention to just to physically touch you. We girls should have the sense of it. Still can remember whenever I slightly touched this kind of conversation with my ex-bf, wah....garang-nya. I guess this is the male instinct to try and protect their gf from those perverts. But then, trust us girls, we know how to judge and how to handle a pervert. Hard to explain but it's one of our borned instinct too :)

Charmed!

Oh gosh! *blushes*

A new male character has got magic charms on me.

A British guy named Luke Brandon.

An entrepreneur, who owns Brandon Communications, top 35 wealthiest bachelor in UK.

A very sweet gentleman. God! Good looking! Charming!

Rebecca Bloomwood is so lucky to have him！

If you still don't know who Mr Brandon is. Well, watch "Confessions of a shopaholic" or read it!

I mean, how lucky it is for a girl to find someone so charming, good looking and successful and fell in love with you. Some sort of secretly admiring you and giving you those mixed signals whether he's fooling with you or really into you?

Oh gosh! It's been a long while that I'm admiring some character from movies, books, or tv series.

Too list a few, remember Charmed? about 3 witches who have powers to ward off the evil demons. The demon who impersonate as attorney who tries to kill the witches, fell in love with Phoebe. And from bad turn to good. Awww, he could even sacrifice himself just to be with her. How cool is that? But i didn't like the same actor in Nip/Tuck... haha... that explains that i only fell in love with the character and not the looks. :p

Another character is Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Initially he was portrayed as a very arrogant man, with too much pride inside him. Doesn't mingle around with other people. But then he was later discovered of his soft side and his kindness. And he fell in love with Elizabeth but have too much of pride to tell Elizabeth about it.

Hah! Too many characters that have left those magical charm in my heart. The prince in white horse and all those. But all those are quite fairy tale, which only happen in the fictional world, instead of the reality. But then again, kinda hope there would be someone out there like Luke Brandon. At least can make some friends. haha

Well, now it's back to reality. No more fairy tale. haha

Hah-Choo!

Man, these few days really have been getting a lot of sneezes. Initially thought it was a sign of getting a cold, which happened last 2 weeks. And I thought that after having the cold, the sneezing would halt. But it's not. Everyday, at least twice having Hah-Choos! Could it be that I'm sensitive to something that I don't know? I wonder... My friend even joked saying that somebody is missing me... LOL! I wonder who initiated this statement, that when you sneeze, somebody out there is missing you. I wonder...

It's just that it's very irritating to get the sneezes all the time, especially when you are in midst of something. For an example, if you are eating halfway and you feel like sneezing, Oh NO! what if you sneeze and the food that you were chewing spurted out...EWWWWW.... disgusting....or or the food went into your nostril...OUCH.... pain...

Another example is when you are in a very urgent need to go toilet, then suddenly there's another urge to sneeze before you are able to reach the toilet... Errmmm.. this needs a lot of kung fu in order not to pee in pants... LOL!

Anyway, if somebody out there is missing me, please don't! haha.. just kidding =p

In the meantime, think i need to pop some vits also. Hopefully all these will subside...

Hotel626

Warning: This game is not for the light-hearted ones! Please do not enter if you are easily afraid or scared. I warned you!

http://hotel626.com

it would be even more frightening to play this with loud speakers/earphones and switch off your lights. hehe. It's a flash games and the setting is that you are trapped in the hotel and want to find the way out.

But even if you played it in the broad daylight, it's kinda creepy. Maybe it was the sound effect that makes you feel scared. hehe.. If any of you know any other games like these, please share ya! these can give you some suspense and destress! :p

Eyeball Scare

Today, something very embarassing thing happened. Sheeesh! A lesson well learned.

I was trying out my new pair of daily disposable contact lens that i bought the other day. 10 pieces for $15. (no need to buy those boxes as they are quite a lot. that's what i was thinking)

Anyway, as a first time user, i managed to pick up my courage to poke my fingers to my eyeball. Really need a lot of courage as all this while I had fear of touching my eyeballs.

Ok, putting it on was not that bad after all. But somehow, I felt abit giddy after wearing the contact lens. It's like u wore a much higher power kind of spectacles that make u feeling abit nauseous.

Then here's where the most valuable lesson i've learnt. Since I was feeling not very comfortable with the lenses, I tried to remove it. But then, I couldn't remove it. I could not see where the lenses are. So i pushed and pushed to try and remove it. And my eye started to twitch. From my single eyelid to double eyelid. Panic! Something was wrong already. I thought the lens was moving to the eyelid already. PANIC PANIC! And i was late for my violin lesson :(

Without second thought, I went to the nearest optical shop to ask them to help me remove it. Sigh. There was a lot of customer there and the optometrist was busy attending them. Finally when it was my turn, she open my left eyelid and keep checking where is the lens. And she also couldn't find it. She asked me what contact lenses was i using. I replied "focus daily". then she said, "HAH?! First time users not supposed to use that brand! It's difficult for them to remove it" then i was like "uh oh!"

After that she had a thorough search, she said the lens is not at the lid there. Maybe dropped off already. Erm... I don't remember it was dropped off. So i asked her to help me remove the right eyes' contact lens. So she helped me removed it. Hey! after removing it, my eyesight is still okay. So i asked her to help me check my left eye again whether the lens was at the eyeball there. and there it was! She helped me remove it also. What a relief! My blur eyesight is back! Thank god my eyes are okay!

After this incident, never will i ever wear contact lens anymore! what if i could have blinded by these stupid contact lens? What a scary thought! but funny thing is, normally the contact lens that people wear are very visible when you look into their eyeball, as you can see a circle covering the eyeball. But mine was not detectable when wearing it. Even the optometrist couldn't see the lens was indeed at the eyeball when she was searching for it.

So here's a thought. Maybe i'm not suitable to wear contact lens as my eyeballs are too big! But the optometrist didn't say that lah. She asked me to buy contact lens from her somemore. Anyway, for first time users, please do not use focus daily. The optometrist recommend to use Bausch and Lomb contact lens.

After all, i curbed my fear of poking contact lens into my eyes. That's what I've been challenging myself all this while. coz i'm the one who wants to try anything at least once in a lifetime. But because i'm not that suitable for it, I will never wear it again. And for the sake of my health. :)

Nursery Rhymes

Whenever I see my little niece back at home, she would request to play "ring a ring a roses".
And she would always request: "Again! Again!" after playing
It's a children's game, where u hold each other hands and form a circle, and walk around the circle and singing the nursery rhyme. The rhyme goes like this:

“Ring a ring a roses
A pocket full of posies
Atishoo! Atishoo!
We all fall down!”

When the last phrase comes, all of us would jump down.
And everytime my little niece request: "Again! Again!", I would say: "HuH? Again? Very tired" haha...But always play with her at least 3 times a day.

Ahhh! Nursery rhymes to children is like pop songs to adults... haha... and it brings good memories of your childhood, especially when u get to play with someone. My favorite of all is "This little piggy" The rhyme goes like this:

"This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed at home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy cried,
'Wee! Wee! Wee! I can't find my way home!"

This game is played with your toes, picking the toes whenever each line is read. Everytime my mom would wiggle my little toes back then. And it's very ticklish and I giggled all the way uptil the last phrase.
It brings good memories =)

movies recommended

these 2 movies are great and highly recommended: IP MAN and RED CLIFF

IP MAN (叶问)
Donnie Yen starring it. A great action actor. hehe. This action flick movie just doesn't bore you throughout the whole movie. It was full of kungfu fighting. Most of the actors have some kungfu knowledge. It was great again to watch Donnie Yen as main actor. And I personally liked his character. He was humble. And his famous quotes: "永春，叶问", 　"还好"

RED CLIFF (赤壁)
As for this movie, it was a star-studded show. Got a lot of leng chai leng lui. In part 1, i liked a few characters, like zhao zi long, zhu ge liang. But in part 2, i liked each and every character portrayed, except one person, that is xiao qiao. The most likable was lu su... haha.. he was really funny. and unlike normal and very serious war epic, it adds some comedic elements into it. I dunno about the real story of red cliff in the 3 kingdoms history, but if you don't compare each and every detail in it, it is a very enjoyable movie. Famous quote from zhu ge liang: "略懂" haha.. another humble character ;)

Anyway, loved watching movies in cinemas...the movie, the sound system, the popcorn and the company! hehe...

Next movie in mind: PONYO!

(p/s: I still personally like to watch movies at cinelesure, the sound system was supercool)
