was looking through facebook.
is sometimes good to just click on some friends whom you have no idea what they are doing currently.
clicked on dayana cuz i really have no idea whether she's working or studying now
and i saw a picture of a married couple with kiki, amalina, siti nor zuliani and herself!
but the bride didn't look familiar.
after much research,
rozanna is married!
the 4C class has really so many people getting married.
first is khalisa, and then rozanna.
the next one will definitely be pek sinyee.
don't understand how these people find the money to buy a flat
and get married.
or maybe they didn't get a flat.
but she looks so different with the makeup and all.

they are only 22 eh.
can't imagine myself getting married like now.
must pay my own phone bill, water bill, electricity bill, house and the long list goes on.
the thought of it just doesn't make me want to marry anymore.
haha.
that's how practical life in Singapore is.
i don't believe in youthfulness after you get married though.
all the vigour and the drive in you dissipates like how water evaporates.
but some (just a minority really) are able to balance their work and life really well.
and to them it seems like not a big feat.
it's a lot of positive thinking and internal drive.
i doubt i will be able to maintain that.

felt that this was interesting to share!

• Fetus position - A whopping 41% of participants sleep in this curled-up manner. Women are twice as likely to rest like this and it is listed as the most common position. These sleepers are said to have a tough exterior but are still sensitive and may appear to be shy but warm up quickly.

• Log position - If you sleep on your side with both arms down, you are a social, easy-going person who is trusting, sometimes to the point of being gullible. The study showed 15% of people sleep like a log.

• Yearner position - A close third is the side-lying position with both arms out in front of the body, with 13% of partipants sleeping like this. Yearners are noted to be open-minded and still cynical, suspicious, and stubborn about sticking to decisions once they are made.

• Soldier position - These sleepers lie on their backs with arms down and kept close to the body. This 8% study is said to be reserved, quiet, without fuss, and hold themselves and others to a high standard. Soldier sleepers have a higher likelihood for snoring due to the flat-back position, which may not cause them to wake up often but may result in a less restful night's sleep.

• Freefall position - Those people who lie on their bellies with arms under or wrapped around a pillow with head turned to the side, make up 7% of the population studied. Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and are very uncomfortable with criticism.

• Starfish position - Sleepers who lie on their backs with arms up near their head or the pillow account for 5% of participants. These people are good listeners, helpful, and are uncomfortable being the center of attention. People who sleep in starfish position are more likely to snore and to suffer from a poor night's sleep more often.

If you think you are one of those people who move through all of these positions, that's not likely to really be the case. Idzikowski said the research reveals most people stay in the same position all night and only 5% lay differently night by night. Also interesting is that the study showed only one in ten people cover their bodies entirely with a blanket, with most people exposing an arm, leg, or both feet.

I can't help but to keep stressing
how I wouldn't put my child in future to many enrichment classes during primary school.
it's crazy and the amount of play time is like reduced significantly to almost null.
today my tutee was like complaining how she didn't want anymore homework from me.
she tells me like her whole schedule.
monday: my tuition
tuesday: cca
wednesday: my tuition
thursday: piano lesson and tien hsia language
friday: tien hsia language
saturday: creative writing
sunday: CMA (mental arithmetic)

where is there time to play in the above schedule?
it's kinda sad don't you think?
Next time i will be able to teach my own kid piano
and the most I will just send them for mental arithmetic classes
because it's really good for future in mental calculations
and also maybe taekwando!
i think it's a good activity to learn actually.

too many activities might just backfire in terms of the results.
i feel like there should be a good balance and not forcing your child to take this and that.
no doubt you want your child to score and do well in the future.
but i don't think not having a childhood is the way to go!

moving on....
went to his profile to check it out
and indeed he is back with his girlfriend.
i just can't understand how you can be with someone you claimed you did not love from the start.
or was it just all a lie so that i would reciprocate and give in to you?
don't you just find it difficult to kiss and embrace someone you don't exactly think is the right one?
i don't know what you are trying to prove.
but ever since your relationship got stable again,
you cast me aside.
is both a good and bad thing.
good because you won't come disturb me.
bad because that means i was only there to bring you through your lonely times.
i really don't know what your ending will be but i just wish you best of luck.

since tomorrow is V-day, i shall dedicate one post to the special him. :)

first met him when i went for the underage party at Ministry of Sound with my camp mates.
saw him outside Mac because it was just too crowded inside and he was drinking Tiger Beer
with his friends.
In my mind i was thinking like, ewww why this guy so uncle one? drink Tiger Beer?!
it was before school reopened for Year 2...

School reopened in Year 2 and we had new classmates,
segregated from the majority who came from 01 and the rest just stuck among ourselves.
after break, it was Edwin's class (i forgot what was the module already).
he requested that we split into groups by numbering ourselves off since we were not yet
familiar with everyone.
we ended up being in the same group but i didn't know who was this Ji Wei Jie
because he was sick on the first day of school. (Seriously, i don't know how true was that! haha)
but i found out that he liked a girl who was from his secondary school and now the same poly course.
not long before we started Year 2,
i was together with another guy and slowly through group discussions, our group got closer.
We had Evon, the kaypo auntie in class and Jeffrey, the loud hailer.
Those 2 never failed to lift up the spirits of our group.
And of course, i finally found out who was Ji Wei Jie.
We never had the favor of our teacher perhaps it was due to Mr. Loudhailer and also us not being very IT savvy.
We were super flustered when project datelines were drawing closer and we stayed back till almost 11pm to finish up on one of the days.
That was the day when i kind of wanted to end my relationship with the other guy, got so frustrated with him.
Maybe he was kaypo or something, so when our group was hungry, he strictly asked me along to buy Mac for them with Bib.
So along the way, i just explained to them what happened and the entire story.
They just gave me advice and talked to me like a big brother and sister would.

When his birthday came, I texted "Happy Birthday to him" at exactly 12am.
he was kind of shocked like how I knew when his birthday was.
i knew their birth dates through the list that was compiled by the class chairman.
Since secondary school, it was always common for me to text a birthday message exactly at 12.
Our class grew closer and we had a conversation with Yaya during one of the lectures.
Can't remember what the content was but i remembered him saying something like,
"You expect me to ask you if you eaten every meal?" or something along that line.
So being a very kaypo me, I just said, okay I will message you tonight and see if you have eaten dinner.
And so I did keep my promise! He was very bewildered by it actually.
We just kept text messaging as days passed and in school, he will occasionally pat my head like a little girl if i made any silly comments.

Fast tracking...
my 18th birthday came and my camp mates purposefully bought balloons to make me
carry them around the school for the whole day, knowing that i had school till 5.
like oh my gosh, super embarrassing can?
and i had to carry my laptop around too.
it was super troublesome.
at the end of the day, he offered to take my laptop home for me for that day even.
i was super touched because he brought back two laptops the next day again.
we grew even closer when we started going out as a group,
playing arcade games and having aston's for lunch
due to some short days in school.
it was all a ploy i tell you.
We pieced the jigsaw puzzle together for Yamnie, together with Myrin,
until almost 11pm every 2 days a week, under my block,
despite them staying at the north area.
how sweet right.
and because i had a lot of things to carry to school to celebrate her birthday,
he came over my place to help me take the stuff and woke up at 5am.

Along the way,
i forced him to learn how to make paper hearts for me
and he always had to take buses and asking others to take bus tickets for him
so that he could fold hearts for me.
Come to think of it,
I wonder why that girl didn't like him?
He said, "no chemistry."
but how can you not be moved by the actions he do?
he went all the way to Taiwan with her and their other friends, taking out almost $1000 just to go there
and end up being sick because he couldn't get used to the water over there.
All because he did not want to lose out to the other guy who was wooing her as well.

3 years just went by like that,
we graduated together,
went through army together,
and hopefully go through work together.

He has never failed to bring a smile on my face when i'm feeling angry
because he will always force me to talk to him and say all sorts of silly things.
He will never let me go when i push him away.
He always say I will go crazy when he goes clubbing at night
because I will throw sarcastic words at him to spite him.
He will comfort me when I'm feeling sad or disappointed.
His words are always very encouraging and when he gets all serious, he can be charismatic.
Easily contented person and never materialistic.
Family oriented and never bearing grudges.
Everything I was searching for, now I found.
Bountifully abounding in more than I expected.
He perseveres on in the relationship even though when there were times I wanted to give it up.
Looks may not be on his side, but character is.
That is all that matters.

Happy V-Day!

As quickly as chinese new year came, it has ended so quickly.
this year we (besties) didn't even have time to go visitation to each other's places unlike last year.
guess we are all just too busy just studying.
wonder how we will be able to meet up next time when we work.

many people around me getting attached.
don't know whether to be happy for them or to be sad.
firstly, everything won't be the same. Priority doesn't go to you anymore.
(okay, i'm saying it as though i don't treat others similarly but is true.)
secondly, it will be much difficult to meet up if your attached friend is of an opposite gender.
sometimes is really odd how guys always say they want pretty girls to be their other half.
but when they get their girlfriend, i guess they are not that pretty afterall.
they claim that if the girl is too pretty, they might feel stress over it and that pretty girls
are meant to look at and not to have them.
won't pretty girls be in a sad state if no one dares to embrace them?
haha.
i guess girls on the other hand don't mind having a handsome guy.
they seem confident to keep them by their side actually.
some handsome guys might be flirtatious, but i guess they are generally fine actually.
pretty girls, on the whole, are normally VERY flirtatious in fact.
that's what i feel of course.
you can always beg to differ.

everyone is moving up to 22 soon and i guess the age to get attached is like now or never.
some might priortize studies or work first, but i guess if you meet the right one, jump on it!
as we were talking among ourselves that night,
getting hitched with someone from the workplace is really kind of freaky.
like you don't know what dubious background he comes from
whereas if you know someone from school, the person will tend to be much more transparent.
i guess is just that once you start working,
you will naturally become more discreet about your life.
imagine you getting hitched and not knowing how many ex-girlfriends he once had because
you were afraid to pry.

it's definitely good to always start working in a MNC,
because you will be able to meet more people there.
can't imagine if you want to be a childcare teacher,
the people you meet are all females.
kind of hard to meet guys huh.
haha okay i guess i'm thinking too far ahead.
before you know it, in a few years' time, wedding invites will come your way.

but first, can't wait for exams to end.
once exams end, i don't plan to get a job.
just gonna stay home and play SIMS all day and all night.
haha.
it's my last long holiday before i graduate next year.
so why not just rest and relax!
at least i still have tuition and piano to keep me going. :)

The weekend has been both good and bad to me.
good in the sense that wj and I went to catch the girl with the dragon tattoo.
it was an awesome poresome two and a half hours show
and i used the Shaw vouchers that I got from Jeffrey to watch it.
it was so worth it.
the show totally had a climax to the show unlike many others.
though there were a few sexual scenes, at least it did not overpower the plot of the story.
I initially thought that i had to top up extra because it was the weekends.
and weekend tickets will normally be priced at $10 each,
the vouchers were only worth like $8.
what's more it was an upgraded cinema with great seats!
but didn't like the arm rest which was so rigid.
the seats were like a hybrid between a theatrical style
and an amusement park simulator ride kinda style.
Theatrical in the sense that every row of seats were arranged higher than the previous ones,
so short people like me sitting at the back will benefit a lot.
and amusement park simulator ride style of seat because the feel of it totally resembled the one
at the USS for the Shrek ride.
so cool.
I also want to go to one more location this year.
which is the Film Garde @ Iluma,
it seems not impressive in every way but i just want to try it.
the next free movie we will catch will be at the new Eng Wah Cinemas!
have not used the vouchers won from the Mac's Monopoly.
overwhelmed with movie treats!
okay that's the yay part for the weekend.

the unpleasant part of the week was that a freaking bee stung me on sat.
and now i've got a red patch on my left elbow that's making it really itchy.
wj has been bugging me to go see the doc, but i hate docs.
yes, at the age of 21, i still am wilful.
i still remain on my stand that docs are detestable.
but many have been saying that as long i don't get like breathing difficulties,
or any other side effects than that should be fine. :)
hope the itchy patch just goes away soon.

the weather is killing me.
why can't it just stay cool and breezy.
that's the Singapore I love.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 @ 11:11:00 PM


We have entered 10 days into the new year.
but i still don't feel any buzz about it.
wonder if it's something to yay about or to nay about.
everyone is experiencing different things in their lives this period.
like the anxiety of not knowing what to do after ORD,
not knowing which school to go to after O's,
don't know if they will meet someone right in this new year,
don't know if they can last through their relationships this year.
so many obstacles people face each and everyday.
but i'm sure everyone has been there and done that throughout these 20 years of their lives.

i'm still swimming in my own pool for financial mgmt.
not knowing which direction i'm heading to.
apprehensive in starting an exam question,
because i know i will just be thrown into a whirlpool.
suddenly in mid course,
i wonder why i'm pursuing a degree.
will i really embark on a HR job in the end?
a career in teaching piano seems to be much more fulfilling
and money spinning job where I won't be bounded to a desk in future.
being a vagabond for a job seems quite appealing to my present state now though.
shall consider this in the coming year when i graduate.
there's still time to ponder over this decision.
