was reading a chinese novel and came across this

不成熟的爱，所遵循的法则是“因为我被别人爱，所以我爱别人”。成熟的爱所遵循的原则是“因为我爱别人，所以我被别人爱”

the quote comes from a psychologist and humanistic philosopher erich fromm. so i went and googled him. here are some quotes that i really agree with:

Only the person who has faith in himself is able to be faithful to others.
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal. (this is kinda funny, in a sarcastic way)
Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.
Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'
In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality. (agreed, but it doesn't look like its going to happen anytime soon, though)
Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve. (haha.. yeah, what's the meaning of life?? just live it, dammit!)
Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality. (yeah, stop overestimating urselves, humans are too insignificant in the life of the universe)
We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them. (that's how sad we are)

last but not least, happy new year

i was recommended to watch this movie by a number of people and i have to say it is totally worth the trip to the cinema. good graphics, good plot. i'm not a huge fan of cg graphics because no matter how close to the real thing it is, it's not? avatar in 2d works better for me because the 3d graphics is a strain on my eyes.

back to the movie. there's pretty much discussion on whether leo's character has returned to reality, and i personally think he did. if the whole thing was just part of a dream, i'll be very disappointed indeed. the director purposely left the ending open so that its up to interpretation, but i think if he wanna to do something like that, he needs leo's character to be going into and out of dream states alot more times than that.

but what surprises me when i was reading through forums is that there are ppl who did put the focus on whether reality is important for him: he's where he wanna to be - with his children, and that's enough. i suppose that's true too.

been very bothered recently about finding a place to shift as one of my housemates wanna move out once our contract with the landlord is up.

ok, at first i tot it'll be about finding someone to shift into our apartment (provided our landlord doesn't increase our rents). if that's to happen, the other gal who's occupying a room to herself will have to move into the room i'm sharing with the gal that is leaving. but this gal (i think she got used to having her own room...) said that she wanna move into a 2 room apartment/house because she's calling back to china every day for at least 2 hours.. i really dunoe how she can talk for so many hours to the same people everyday loh. is there so much things that happen in day? i really doubt so...

Anyway, she wanna move into a 2 room apartment but still wanted it to be cheap.. i was like its mission impossible. the first time we saw something that fits the bill, its leaking in the roof. and still there are 10 groups of people applying for it (ourselves included...). the next one makes me even angrier (though i admit its through no fault of hers).

i saw the ad during the middle of the night and bookmarked it before i sleep. so the next day i showed it to her and asked her to phone the agent while i washed up. so the agent told her that the ad was just put up and there should be no one viewing the property that day, and asked for my housemate's number so that she can arrange an inspection on monday (its friday when we called). so my housemate did as she told and we went off happily dreaming what we can do when we rent the house.

that night, i went back to my bookmark to check the phone number of the agent and found that the link was invalid! so i quickly told my housemate and u noe what she said? maybe she decided to rent to us and took off the ad? i was like, can u be anymore tian zhen?

i vaguely remembered that agent's company name and found their website. their website says that the property has been leased! damn it loh, and to top it off, the next day i told my housemate that the site says its rented out she can still say that the agent kept it for us...

i dunoe whether she really believes it or she wanna comfort me, but it angers me more. its like she doesn't really care and she's the one asking for a cheap 2 room apartment/house. if she can accommodate with sharing a room, we could have rented another place near the uni already and shifted into the place loh..

and the reason for having separate rooms is because she wanna home everyday. wth! arghz i think i'll try to source for my own place and if everything fits, i'll juz move out without her..

oh sure, i was playing facebook all the while i was 'bz' with the assignment. but hey, who ever said that one cant multi-task while u were working? not me, obviously..

haiz, back to work/assigment.. what does the lecture wants anyway? a 6-8 page assignment for 5 continuous week is no joke loh. one of those assignment is already about the length of my chemical instrumentation assignment cum exam, and i had to do 5 of those for the same credit? that's is so unreasonable.. ur sincerely has been burning midnight oil for the past 3 weekends and her eyes are so much puffier! pls gao tai gui shou ok?

well, me reached the airport quite early, abt 1030pm only... but the arrival hall was crowded, esp with all the stringent checks and everything... but all was fine until i needa haul my 32kg luggage to the xray belt.
i was quite angry with the guy officer lo coz the other queue was a lady officer and she offered to help another traveller with the luggage. when i said i needa help with e lugguge, he said "i dont do that, u'll have to do it yourself". Wahkao~ if he wasn't the one going to determine whether i have to open up my luggage and let him inspect it, i'd give him a piece of my mind. but i did stare at him before leaving the counter...

it wasnt as if i said, get this up there for me, i said i needa help lifting it to the belt lo, he so weak cannot lend a hand ah? hope he kenna swine flu ~

DMC

2009-03-25T22:04:00.002+08:00

after watching death note the movie, i'm was quite interested in Ken'ichi Matsuyama as an actor, thus when my sis asked me out for a movie, we decided on DMC.

As usual, his antics has not failed to bring a smile. but that was about the only redemption of the movie, sadly...

With the vulgar language, the coarse songs, the sadomasochism... arghz!! not to mention singing songs about killing cum raping ur parents is supposed to bring dreams to the public? wat kind of a plot is that? Totally disappointed...

As all might know, Snow White & the 7 dwarfs wasn't exactly Walt Disney's creation, but an adaptation from a collection of folklore by the Grimm brothers.

But i doubt many knows that these folklore aren't fairy tales and aren't meant for children.
In the true version (or as true as the Grimm brothers retold the story; i heard they are somehow biased against women in general...) of snow white, a total of 4 attempts to kill her was made... the last being the poisoned apple. AND~ the apple fell from her mouth when some1 tripped over her. so much for being kissed back to life... speak about being unromantic too...

that probably sums up the disillusionment for today. 幻灭是成长的开始~！

刚刚看了一篇朋友写的blog entry，是用华文写的。可是很明显的，当她在写那篇文章时，思考的语言是英文，整篇都是英文的语法。。。'''-_-

这正好与我相反，工作上有其他种族的同事，所以不得不讲英语。　可我思考的语言是华语，要表达的言语是英语。

这两者之间，我记得是有差距的。　用英文思考的人，做事先看整个问题，再一件件慢慢解决。　用华文思考的人，是一件件小事慢慢解决才拼凑成一个解决了的问题。在看这篇的你，是属于哪一类型的呢？

NUS oPeNhOuSe & JeFf Ch@nG cOnCeRt

2008-03-16T19:49:00.005+08:00

my sis came in on fri night with 3 other frens and wanna go to nus openhouse the next day. so after refusing to work ot on sat (with a smiley face, i suspect), my sis told me that their main motive was to play and the rest are alr rejected/din even bother to apply for nus in the first place. so they were not interested in going to the openhouse anymore. good heavens... but after i told her that her frens can go shopping while i bring her to the openhouse, i think she kinda forced them to go with her. haha...

at the openhouse i was often mistaken for freshie, even with makeup and 4 other 19 yr olds around me. hahaha... i was practically floating while explaining to the ppl that i've graduated. but den again, most ppl who first saw me and my sis will often take her as the elder sister or will ask who's the elder one. last time i'd think that she looks older, but now i'm sure its juz that i look younger (whahaha... bet some of you reading this are alr vomiting non-stop).

saw tc in the cca exhibition hall too... very long time nv see liao, at least a yr bah... he's still as fair, and badly in need of a haircut (though i dare not tell him that... ) and got a bag of .... papers. my sis was complaining of how heavy the bag was all the way.

den we had lunch at the arts canteen, all of us ate the japanese food, since the laksa stall's not open. the rice was certainly of a smaller portion, but the quality is still there la. no more fruits also, it's replaced by 3 jellies.

======================================================================
wasn't very interested in going to the concert at first since i knew his singing would be faultless, meaning it'll be the same as listening to the CD. esp when i have no interest to see him in real person, it'll be better for me to know in my heart he's not perfect than to see in reality how imperfect he actually is. escapee reasoning, yes i know.

but pj's fren had tics worth $100 each and cant be attending, and she's selling at $60. i tot its quite worth it and pj is accompanying me, so off i go to the concert. =) was supposed to meet ari at 430 for dinner one, but i reached home ard 2pm and was dozing off alr. so me and pj decided to meet separately juz b4 the concert.

the seats we got was surprisingly quite close to the stage, except nearer to the side. so we can see a 5-7cm real jeff chang from where we're seated. as expected, the singing was almost faultless, though the hair style shocked all present... pj says she gave him 100% for his courage, i totally agree. hahah.... despite wearing white makes him look fatter, i agree with ari that he looks more like prince charming in white. [and did i mention how the gals discuss his privates after the concert? i wasn't looking. really, coz i not interested in him as a man. hahha... he's more like a singing device to me. anwyay, the conclusion is its either quite big or flat... rather extreme sia] rmb when i was a tennager, i'd wish that i'll marry him and make him sing me to sleep every night. whaha.... but now i'd not wish to see him in real person at all.

all in all, i was quite glad that i went. the atmosphere towards the end was quite good. no wonder he said during the encore "how come you all got high only after the end of concert?" i think pj will start wondering if i'm his fan anot after the concert since i was quite calm throughout, she's higher than i was actually. hahha... but i'm glad that my first concert was his lah, and not some actor/actress-turn-singer who cant sing in actual fact.

yr called when she knew that i'm working at night on weds. then we decided to go to the restaurant she so highly recommend at imm. all was well except, the weather. it was raining fat cats and enormous dogs the whole day, but for food we braved the storm. hahaha....

anyway, the restaurant is HOSHI, located on the 3rd floor of imm. we had the $45++ teppanyaki buffet, where the teppanyaki chef will cook infront of the guests. some of the better food are the teriyaki cod fish, the salmon soup, the chawanmushi, the teppanyaki prawns (peeled!)/squid/scallops. bcoz we got full quite soon but unwilling to give up so early, we placed abt 4-5 separate orders. each time the chef tot we're done and was prepared to leave his station le, we placed another order. bet he was thinking: these 2 gals are hungry ghosts ah?

we had 2 drinks (not included in the buffet) each den the total was abt $120 lo. its ex lah, but somehow worth it if you take into the consideration of the quality of food, and the enjoyment of watching the cooking while eating. oh, almost forgot. we met ST1131 prof gan there too~! hahah...
====================================================================
after the filling dinner, i tot i'd go to work sleepy one loh. but unfortunately no... the sample was so clean in mercury that i repeated 5 times on the test to get 3 negative results... almost went crazy over it... (later i got to know that my colleagues got negative results too. hm juz reported 0.) den the others were waiting for me to hand over the machine to do the liquid samples...

and after handing over, within 1/2 hr, the next pentane sample came in. but the machine alr in liquid mode le, so can only wait loh. interim, i did abt 20 density bah... den wait until morn to go home. on the way home i was busily msging my colleagues abt things that i forget to tell them and din notice the ia student who was on his way to work until his hand was mere centimeters away from my face.... ( i tot sth was flying into me... haha...)

reached home at 10 plus, and after bathing, accidentally fell asleep and woke up only at 530pm!! the whole day was gone, but it was rainning heavily anyway, so cant go anywhere either.

the pentane samples are finally coming in, after abt a couple of weeks' delay. we dun mind actually coz its only recently that we're getting repeatable results anyway. yesterday the samples were delayed for 2hrs lo, den me, my colleague and my trainer all went for lunch at nearly 3pm... my trainer say can slim down like that, but i paiseh to tell him my appetite very good recently. i'm sure yr, ls, pj, sy, hf will agree with me. hahaha...

first time leh, hope i can stay awake. then the next morn can go to nus for breakfast! [suggested by hm, i really wasnt thinking of food when i heard that we're supposed to do the night shift. seriously.] hahaha... but dunno any1 got lessons on thurs morn anot leh.

all in all, the company is quite ok lah. bcoz there's 3 others who's also training with me, so its more like studying again loh. the trainer was retired from exxonmobil, so he's quite experienced and there's a lot of things to learn from him. i couldn't catch up with the readings liao, and those things cannot be photocopied de, muz read there... so when my tuition ends this mth, i shld prob be staying after working hours to read those bah.

haiz, the other 3 ppl are more experienced lo, so i was like the newest newbie. there's 2 person who joined after me, one alr testing on the samples; the other although training with us, had a lot of exp liao, he can alr detach the aas and the gc machine... me still like crawling......

my skin prob seems to be resurfacing again leh, itchy all over this 2 days, hope its not due to all the petro vapor in the lab, or else i must start searching for another job le...

it was truly a fun day, although most of us are semi-unconscious by the end of it, but i still want to thank all that went and spent that day wif me coz its my bday (15th nov of the chinese calendar). =p oh, and also thanks mel for the chocs, they're really nice

met ty and ym in the afternoon at ntuc to buy some ingredients for the sushi-making session. bought crabstick, unagi, tuna and seaweed. wanted to buy cucumber also de, but we walked ard the veggi/fruit section twice le and still no sight of it, prob sold out le bah.

after 'depositing' ym and ty at der's place, i went back to get some things and apparently missed out some jokes. anyway, ty was in charge of cutting the seaweed to size, der moulding the rice, me wrapping the seaweed ard the rice and ym putting on the ingredients. bcoz the rice was quite sticky, der was putting his fingers into his mouth quite often, and ym saw him doing sth to the mayo crabstick. so the 3 of us din touch the crabstick sushi... (yup, that's wat we were whispering secretively in case any1 at gathering is wondering). overall it was quite a success la, i forgot if anyone took pics but i din. heeheee... but the rice can do with some more vinegar.

next we wrapped watever presents that were not wrapped, and bcoz we were using the same 2 pieces of wrapping paper, half of the gifts looked similar. btw, der forgot to peel off the price tag and ym who did part of its wrapping got that gift. we were laughing when we exchanged gifts, esp when der actually did express that he hoped ym will get the gift.

oh, we had some of der's mum's curry. ym gave der all her chicken, i passed a piece too... that was probably why der was so full that nite, that and all the rejected sushi... hahha... the rest of the guys: mel, kg and kw (kg's fren from b4) arrived with the 3kg-turned-into-1kg turkey(i have no idea watsoever as to why the turkey slimmed off...) when we were done playing wif der's mum's hamster (coz she's the one taking care of it, der's only playing/abusing it) it was very fat~! hahaha... almost round in shape le. me and ty got bitten by the hamster... it had toothpicks for teeth lo, so sharp...

then we played a number of games la, some of which der's bro joined us. played uno, taboo (which proves my vocab is super lousy), dai di (i had a very good hand once: a flush and a di house, but i separated them and lost TT_TT) , murderer aka polar bear (where i was always accused of being the murderer... =( when ym beside me was always the true killer!), den risk. risk was quite brain juice draining, with all the rules and the dice throwing. the first round we (me and mel paired up) got quite good lands but end up fighting with kw for austraila. second round was disaster at first, we've lands all over the 6 continents and was under attack until we were left with japan. but somehow my dice throwing luck kicked in after i was semi-conscious and we fought all the way to austraila!!! and den the game endecd unexpectedly when kg realized he completed his 4th mission...

inbtwn the police came bcoz they received complaints that we're too loud, but it seems that we're juz caught up in the fight btwn the neighbours 2 floors down. they prob tot it was the other who was making the sound and made the complaint. *rolled my eyes*

we took a 5 min walk to my hse to borrow the dvds. der wanted to stay here to watch actually, and leave ym and kg in his hse. but my aunt's too light a sleeper le, she even complaints of her fan being too loud loh, if we watch movie here, she sure wake up de... anyway, we went back and watched jian gui 10. erm... the movie's ok la, but i was suddenly hungry midway and trapped on the sofa... heehee... by the time the movie ended i was pass the feeling of hunger le, and we dismissed w/o breakfast since der was alr concussed on the floor, ym was sleeping in the room, ty was resting on the sofa, me cant keep my eyes open....

felt kinda lightheaded after that day, prob due to lack of sleep+food... yah, that's why this entry was late for so many days, that and the length of coz =) heehee

i think the 3 of us were super lazy to travel, so we met at bp plaza to have lunch. tried the newly (maybe not so new alr) opened hk restaurant. the food was ok, as in, its not fabulous but nothing to complain of too. the only thing is the drinks, the real thing and the pic in the menu was significantly different. hc ordered a white based with some choco colored drink according the menu, but the served drink is almost all choco colored... we stayed there and chatted for like 4/5hrs bah, so i had 2 drinks, both diff from the menu but still tasted reasonable lah.

we were talking abt things like depression, gay tv artists, children (not that we have any, haha...), etc.

anyway, we were talking abt the recent star awards and discussing some of the suspected gay's speech and the hidden meanings. i supposed my gay detector radar was super weak, coz of all the mentioned artists, i only suspected a few. some are a bit sissy but i never thought of them as homos. and in uni, it never crossed my mind that any1 is a gay until somebody told me that these ppl are gay. i was like... huh? so he was not merely sissy but also gay?

then on the subject of depression, for me i never believed that there was such a mental condition b4. i think that if you're feeling down, juz forget that whole thing and move on. my cousin is also seeing a psychiatrist bcoz of depression, but i think her condition was much more milder than yr's fren. one statement yr's fren said struck me quite hard actually, when she was abt to commit suicide, yr asked her to think of her mother. the fren said, 'i cant even care for myself now, how can i spare any thoughts for some1 else?' den it occurred to me that some ppl juz arent rational enough to keep emotions from clouding their judgments. on second thoughts, why should any1 who is serious abt committing suicide call another person? i mean, if i'm serious abt killing myself off and wanting to say goodbyes, i'd call them at least a day b4 to avoid being persuaded/rescued. so i guess yr's mum was kinda right in telling yr to ignore that fren.

then somehow the subject changed to children, and how troublesome they are. walking ard with a 3kg weight for 9mths; den changing diapers/feeding milk for another yr (my guess lah, i not sure the exactly duration of coz); den running ard to feed porridge; den study with them to at least sec level; den worry abt their upbring... not to mention the $$$. though i'm not saying that i'm not gg to have a child or anything to that effect, it still does put some damper on that thought.

all in all, its more of a serious talk session than a relaxing lunch gathering. but its nice too, of coz to meet with old frenz. its scary, but we've known each other for abt 10 yrs le, although we only got closer only when we're in sec3/4. time doesn't fly, it speeds by.

早上突然收到恬颖传来的简讯，说要看《投名状》。我们就这样草草决定了今晚去看了。
可能是之前小姑说这部片子好看吧，自然就会对它有所期望。再加上有金城武、刘德华两位大帅哥，就会开始幻想电影有多精彩的。看了以后，不会失望但也没有太兴奋的情绪，可能本人对大悲剧还是有点抗拒啦。。。

相信很多人不了解“投名状”这三字的意思，我也不例外。还好电影中有解释：它是一种誓言+ 拜把，当三位男主角结成兄弟并立下誓言后，就得杀一个人（随便路人甲）以示忠诚。誓言的内容大概是：不能同生但愿同死；杀兄弟者死。故事就围绕着这三个男主角间的情谊、爱情、与功名成就对他们的影响。砸重金拍摄的电影当然不会只有描述三个大男人的友谊，其中还有许多打斗、开战的画面；浩荡的人海、奔驰的战马确实壮观。

spoiler：人物分析

李连杰饰演的庞将军是个想让天下百姓不再为战争而苦的伟大青年。为了这个理想，他不惜放下身段向对手求助，也不惜杀了自己的手下以儆效尤。他以生命来追逐理想，场场战都以劣势获胜。他说：“我每天都如履薄冰。” 因为他知道，为了完成这个理想，他就得握有权势。但在追逐理想的当儿，他迷失了自己，更与两个兄弟反目成仇。虽然他后来野心勃勃，但对于来刺杀他的金城武他仍然没有下毒手，只是试着击退而已。至于爱情这一块，他是可悲的 - 心爱的女人是兄弟的妻子，禁忌的爱情是他唯一的痛处。当他终于横下心来把兄弟暗杀了，却又得到爱人的死讯。

刘德华饰演的是赵二虎，三兄弟中的二哥。这个角色跟本就像是为刘德华写的，非常有刘德华角色一贯的风格。三人当中，他是最重义气也最鲁莽的。当抢匪时，他为过世的同伴在餐桌上留了位子、斟上酒，让他们“安心上路”。他为了答应敌军首领放过敌军，却又做不到时自责不已。最终，他踏入了李连杰为他设下的陷阱，而万箭穿心致死，死前还以为李连杰性命有危险而不停挣扎。或许他是三人中最幸福的，因为他还不知道妻子和最好的兄弟背叛了他就死了。

金城武的角色是个很有理性/冷血的人物。他原本是个天真浪漫的小伙子，但是在一次的打仗中看见好友被杀而领悟到战争的残忍。他发了狂似的把敌军统帅的首级拿下，在那时他就好像失去了生命中的某一块，身上的色彩突然转淡了。之后他因为盲从李连杰，亲手杀了同伴、亲口下令射杀刘德华想保的敌军（其中还有以前当抢匪的同伴）。他最亲的应该是李连杰和刘德华了，为了让两人能够和好，他还杀了自己视如母亲的二嫂。最后，为了替刘德华报仇，他还是对李连杰下了手。。。

大悲剧收场，人个个都死了，能开心兴奋嘛？

it was totally hilarious! the high pitched kiddy voice, the cute animation, and humorous dialoques made it a success. i was worried when i saw a bunch of children gg for the movie, and i was rite: laughter was heard throughout the movie (including mine of course) and i din mind. heehee....

pj and me finally realized that there was actually 2 cartoons on chipmunks-chip&dale and alvin & the chipmunks. hahaha, imagine the confusion while watching the movie. but we soon forgot abt it as we were too caught up in the cute antics of the chipmunks. the story's abt 3 singing chipmunks and a non-commiting song composer. i wont spoil the fun by continuing =p

comparing this to ratatouille, i think this wins hands down. perhaps i was biased in some ways coz i prefer a comedy to a family-orientated movie, but if ratatouille wins in being heart-warming, den this movie definitely wins in holding the audience's attention. a muz watch for the on-coming christmas, u'd love their christmas song

met with ls, pj, sy, ariane a few weeks ago, had dinner and chit chat. we went to this chinese restaurant in marina sq. the food was quite reasonable considering the price. i had this sichuan ramen that smells of pork (dunoe why, but i dun like that smell) but still edible. we also shared dumplings in hot chilli oil, and xiao long bao. the dumplings sure boosts the appetite. =p

we walked a bit and then settled in a jap dessert store for ice-cream. the ice cream there sure nice, flavor strong enough and there's one that has so many things inside that it keeps surprising us.

one interesting conversation btwn me and ariane:
ari(after seeing zaizai's pic inside my wallet): ur bf ah?
me: yah
ari: when did u all start?
me: 2/3 yrs back
ari: long dist ah? very diff hor
me: yah loh, frankly speaking, i've never seen him in real person for the whole of my life (den we both break out in laughter)

last week met with the sa ppl to celebrate ym's bday at this ai qing hai place. whar, i really dunoe how to rate this restaurant lo. the rating of the stage and the service can be very conflicting really. the singers were good, and quite humorous actually, but the vol can be lowered. the ambiance is good also if u are not the kind to engage in small talks when eating. i din talk much to ppl 2 seats away from me and the friend of kg was sitting infront of me. i think he was kinda left out but there's wasn't much to talk btwn us and kg who was sitting next to him was too busy hanging to ym's words to talk to him... hahah, ok la, i admit i was exaggerating a bit.

there's abt 5 groups (including us) celebrating birthdays and there were gifts (decorated pencil, i think. anyway, ym got a blue spider on a blue stick thingy) for those bday ppl. a guy was made to sing on stage too... and it was funny how he insisted on singing that song he wanted, even when the pianist told him she cant play that piece well.

as for the service of the restaurant, there's only a phrase to describe it: snail-paced. u would expect the drinks to come in ard 10mins after ordering; they probably ran out of pearls and had to go out to buy flour to make them. food was served 1 hr later. i think they had to travel to the kampongs to buy chickens for my chicken teriyaki, and buy the rice too... bill had to be waited for 1/2 hr... i was telling kg that they'll move faster if we juz stand up and leave... service is 0 outta 1000... (i guess all of them would disagree wif me since they were putting up some v.good comments abt the place.) well, i'd go there again if and only if i alr had dinner

this was in the logic test given to me today. practically drove me crazy.

there are 12 steel balls, 11 of which are of standard mass and 1 that could be either lighter or heavier. given a balance scale, i'm supposed to find out which one was the odd ball and if it was lighter or heavier than the others in 3 weightings.

the solution's over here

was kanna complained that i din update my blog for a long time liao. which, i readily admit to. bcoz there wasn't much to write. i mean, you guys wouldn't want to read this:-

i woke up by my ah mah's "ooi, u still dun wan to wake up ah, 2pm alr. the rice is turning sour" and then i did my toiletries and ate my super late brunch, and played on the computer until dinner. after which i watched a bit of the korea 7pm show and continued with my computer until 4/5pm and slept until 2pm the next day

-for the whole of the few weeks that i din update bah...

but this week was quite hectic really as compared to the last few weeks.

last week fri got 3 calls for interview. (they wanna to make up for the weeks w/o calling, u see). so mon i was at some agency in tanjong pajar, tues at ayer rajah at 930am... after which i went to nus, visiting. halfway through lunch i was called up by the agency who called on fri to go and sign the contract wif them and also fix the date of interview. so i ended up at city hall.
tonight, have dinner with the gals from sa. too bad mt has to work through midnight, but it was a nice gathering, which i vented my frustrate on that man (calling him a man is alr being too good to him, he really doesn't deserve that.) by complaining to them and making hh & ym laugh. (dun really understd wat's so funny though)
fri i'll be gg to the interview arranged on wed and its in woodlands! (but not the company ls and sy tot, its a japanese one) anyway, the good thing is its near cos the interview's 9am... gimme a break.

i noe i shldn't have posted this after my previous post, but this is getting outrageous...

u noe, i did really try hard not to kill insects during this month - they can be your relative come visiting. not that they're close to me, i mean, my immediate and 2 degree family are all alive and kicking... BUT these pests really bugs me, a lot.

first, i heard a crack when i was mopping under my grandma's bed. tot it was a wrapper plastic - no such luck. a dead cockroach was wat i got instead. (i shld have placed it in that man's cup, but my grandma saw the cockroach too... wat a waste....)

second, on that very same day, when i went into the toilet to brush my teeth - tata~! 2 small cockroaches. bet they are son/daughters of the bigger one. i must admit i was the murder of 2 that nite.

third, a moth flew in to the living room while i was watching tv. and my tv hours were like 1hr per week lo, and it juz had to fly in at that time...

fourth, a bee like thingy (i'm not sure if its a warp, but its sure larger...) flew into my room a couple of days back. i chased it outta the window and closed them tight, i'm not waiting for its relatives to show up and sting me... that's wat u get for having windows that occupied one side of your room facing the park, all kinds of bugs fly into your room for the light inside... haiz, even like tonite when there's a cool breeze, i needa pull the curtains unless i want company.

between that beey thing and tonite, a big live cockroach came into my room at abt 2am... one thing abt living in a all gals house, u gotta fend for yourself in situations like this: a bottle of pesticide juz inside the room~ i literally sprayed the cockroach outta my room, by the force of the spray than the toxic of the pesticide. heeeheee. found the cockroach lying 2 feet away from my room the next afternoon, its legs still twitching. i hatta sweep it away....

another bee like thingy flew in again, not my room this time, but the study. its smaller, and its not in my room, so i basically ignore it.

tonite, a small cockroach. i bet 50 that it's the sibling of my toilet victims, coz its slightly bigger and can hop/fly alr... gave it a little spray of the insecticide and smashed it flat under the newspaper. gesh, i juz mopped the floor today... =(

anyway, anyone who's keeping count will noe that i've met with 5 cockroaches and 3 other creatures. basically that averages to 2 bugs per week lo... surely i had more than my share for this year alr? pek...

米虫日记2

2007-08-31T01:51:00.000+08:00

米虫的世界越缩越小了...
成天无所事事,又懒得出门.
前阵子朋友邀约去看烟火却觉得我每个农历年在家抬个头就看得到的烟火干嘛花个1小时的车程去看啊? 真是有够懒的... 不过,不懒就不是米虫我啦 =p 最近猛下雨也变成不出门的借口. 在家看看电视、听听歌、追回那放弃了的嗜好.

还有,近来有对新诗产生了点兴趣. 觉得它们少了五言七律公整、要押韵的特色; 却多了天马行空、随兴的色彩.说是诗,更像词.

在网上读到了一篇冰心《繁星》里的新诗:

无限的神秘
何处寻它？
微笑之后
言语之前
便是无限的神秘了。

my dearest frens... pls DO NOT msg me before noon if u want any decent answers. yours faithfully is still in dreamland dating mr zhou, ya?

my hp-cum-alarm-clock resides less than 5cm away from me on the bed. AND the msg vol is super loud... so my first reaction is to juz press away that sound and forget abt the whole thing.

so~~ the safest bet is to msg after 1pm. or call me if its an emergency (though i doubt that will happen in the near future...)

米虫日记

算算，我当米虫也当了足足3个月了。
好可怜喔，几时才有天上掉下来的工作呀？
没有想到我竟然也有会想要做工的一天，不过真的好闷呐。

我好像是知道自己死期将至的人，要把从前未能做到的事全都做了。把小时不能看的电视剧、书籍都一一找来，才发现有些东西错过了时机就再也完成不了的。

例如，最近想起一本书Anne of the Green Gables, 其实那是一套书中的第一本。当时看的时候如果能找到后续的书，绝对是可以把整套看完的。到了现今，虽然找到了接下来的书，却忘了里边的人物。如果还要为了继续读那一套书而重读第一本，也未免太累人了。。。

另外还有应为考试而看不完的94年《射雕英雄传》，现在却没有耐心把它看完。注定了这出戏终究是没办法看完地。。。

心中的遗憾呐。。。

was supposed to meet ls, pj, and sy today for dinner. but was canceled... ah mah told me that they were having noodle soup for dinner today. yucks! i want no part of that... so i juz went out to gai-gai...

bought the ken hirai album that i had wanted for so long and yet unable to really decide upon buying. i've got some of the songs in that album, but the quality was so bad it sounds like a broken record. so, partly i cant find other songs from the album and partly wanting to listen to those nice songs without frowning everytime the song skipped a few secs, i bought my first japanese album~

also got a usb hub for 14 bucks. quite cheap... i rmb it was ard 30 bucks 2 yrs back. the catch: no guarantee, can exchange within 7 days (which shld be the case anyway...) but now i finally have enough slots for my mouse, printer, portable hard drive, bluetooth dangle, and maybe i'll get an extra key board later... heehee

and ~ got my 完美小姐进化论 vol18 comic too! haha... been waiting for soooooo long. ever since i bought the 17 vol from taiwan, i've waiting le. the male lead finally realized he's got feelings for the female lead. but of coz the female lead was still 状况外. haha... hope vol 19 is published soon.

lastly and not least... 10 bucks worth of earrings. nowadays i was a bit un-enthu abt buying earring bcoz i still haven dealt with all those bought and kept somewhere in the house. wats the point of buying when u dun see them rite? haven been in the habit of wearing them too... not gg out lately and even when i do, i find them too much of a trouble. god, i'm getting lazier by the minute. no, by the sec...

You are 47% Capricorn

How Capricorn Are You?

seeing that i'm a capricorn by birth, (lets forget the fact that we're not using our real horoscopes these days...) i've decided to take this particular test.

hmmm... while doing the test, i was being to realize that i was more of a capricorn than i initially thought. i mean, capricorns are described as hardworking, stubborn (which i happily admit to =p ), makes friends that will help them get to the top, a diplomat, a successful person eventually.

but capricorns are also abt being responsible (which i am, surprisingly, though reluctantly), organized/systematic (even my trash are organized, see?), independent (of coz i am, i juz depend on others for household chores, the rest i can manage myself, thank you).

so, being 47% capricorn was probably true. though i muz again emphasize that i do not make friends for the sake of climbing up the career ladder. i dun even wish to climb~ it tires me even to think of it.

again, its another series of children's book that i like. love them still but they were nowhere to be found due to some copyright dispute btwn the publishers and the author's family.

writen by robert arthur jr., its a book abt 3 youngsters: Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews. the brain, the brawn and the intelligence (as in info). they call themselves the 3 investigators (a bit lacking in imagination there, but then again, clients wouldn't come to them if they call themselves '3 super heroes' eh?)

i actually do own a 3-in-1 book of theirs back in primary school, but i loaned it to some idiot who misunderstood my joke. he said his reading speed was very slow, and i told him nvm, he can return it anytime after he finished the book... and i added '看不完就不用还了咯' somehow he tot that i was giving him the book and he gave me a nancy drew's book on my birthday. who cares abt nancy drew? that book could have worthed alot now (not that i bear to sell it) but that idiot wouldn't have appreciated its value (to me and as a rare book) and most probably threw it away alr... sobz....

got an interview at amk on thurs and coincidently, both the sa ppl and 4f decided to gather at vivo... i wasn't so sure abt 4f la, since i din even reply xl (ok, i was bad) so i dunoe if there's a change in plans or anything. last time i would have asked yr if she was gg, and if she is den i'll be gg also. but now, i feel that even if i went, i'd still be hanging around those that i know better, so wats the point? my presence (or lack thereof) wouldn't have mattered much to the organizers except perhaps for the attendance of the gathering, which was such a pathetic goal... of coz there was also a tiny fact that i met yh when i was collecting the grad gown and he's working for broadway (the photography studio), and i promised to call if i wanna take photos, which i didn't... heehee

so, i went and met up with the sa ppl. which was in fact a correct decision coz the show was really worth the trip. like ty said, the plot was more suited for primary schoolers but the effect of the lasers, mist, and waters was fantastic. and there was fireworks too. only ty brought camera, so all the pics were with her. there's some:

after the show, we went up a castle looking walkway, and ended up in a place that reminds me of memory lane in anne of green gables.

nvm if u dun recognize the book, its children's book anyway... well, feels like timeless there, if u know what i mean. and futher down was the merlion, in purple lights... much as i like purple myself, i think its weird to see the merlion in purple. maybe its nice to look at afar bah, not sure...

ooh~~ ym and ty saw a cockroach and ran... then mel said something abt cockroaches dun fly, and only female pregnant cockroach flies. i wasn't convinced since every adult cockroach i was so unfortunate to met with, flies... and kg said mel could very well be crapping. but i couldn't help gg online and check, and felt stupid after knowing the ans. most cockroaches dun fly, except asian ones. their flying abilities surpass the rest by far and the MALE ones flies... thanks sia, mel

in the end, snape was juz a tragic fellow who does all the wrong things for the right reasons... he killed dumbledore under dumbledore's very own orders and remained undercover.

the most treacherous character in the whole story might not have been snape, but dumbledore himself. i was right in guessing harry's the last horcrux but i tot dumbledore din tell him the truth was bcoz he couldnt bear to hurt harry that way. but the truth is that he wanted harry to destroy all the horcrux, and walk into death himself

but i really liked the layout there, somehow even when i used the same colours it looked nicer there. perhaps it was really clustered here. anyway, the thing is i've decided to stay here since its more user friendly to me... that spaces will remain there, even though it wasn't really up in the first place. haha...

anyway, scroll down for games!

this lead to to source for another blogging site with 3 columns: two side columns and the center blog. and tata~ msn spaces. actually heard of myspace which was quite popular too, but that site was too disorganized. anyway, i haven really moved, juz playing around with msn spaces. i intend to blog there for a month or so to 'test the waters' so to speak. if its really good there, i might shift permanently.

there's the site: http://f0rt0ts.spaces.live.com/ (take note that those are zeros not alpha o)

papers/letters/brochures all in one corner
grad gown still hanging on the door, haven wash and keep
alot of useless things littered everywhere...

sleeping at 5am in the morn and waking after 12noon doesn't help matters any. feeling lethargic everyday, but somehow past 10pm i'm fully awake. must have been a vampire in my previous life.

still waiting for a job to land from the sky... or else waiting for response from the ads will probably get me unemployed til doomsday, probably.

ok, done complaining. anyone wanna help me in cleaning the room? haha... (bitter smile)

To make PIZZA TOAST you'll need to start with a few ingredients and baking tools:

2 Slices of Bread. (as always your choice: White, Wheat, Rye, etc.)
2 Slices of Kraft Sliced Cheese
Your favorite Pizza topping (try Anchovies, it's good for the heart)
Toster and Toaster Oven/Oven
Microwave

It will be important you start by toasting your bread. The quickest and most efficient way is to use a conventional toaster. Please consult the toast wheel for the ideal toasted brown color.

After you have toasted your bread at a desired darkness quickly apply a single slice of Kraft cheese to each slice of bread.

Apply your desired toppings to each slice.

Place bread slices onto plate and Microwave for 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to over heat your Pizza Toast because your cheese will over heat and things will get messy.

taken from: Toastrecipes.com

Its one of the most remembered dishes i had in rv... coz its really tasty, the toppings are sausages, onions, tomato sauce & etc. the gals in our class will always have it when its the 10 mins break. haiz, time really flies, we graduated like 6, 7 yrs liao and now rv has shifted to where sa was. tham prob was enjoying retirement for gd... chan may have retired too for all i noe. heard wong transfered to another sch (not very sure), he prob had a child or two alr.... wah~... i'm getting old

[Highly Recommanding] Final Approach

2007-07-10T00:05:00.000+08:00

Final Approach is a comedy & romance anime that involves a 17 yr old boy called ryo and 4 gals. it started off with a gal named shizuka bursting into the guy's house (bursting being the operative word here...) and declaring herself as his fiancee. and like all stories, the guy had another gal that he likes and thus objected strongly. [a bit off topic here, the guy got a bit 恋妹情结 and i believe if u watch episode 1, u'd think that akane's his cohabiting girlfriend... ] however, shizuka the self-declared fiancee, with her gungfu & gadgets, was a bit like the guy in full metal panic. ryo's protest was quickly override. the story continues...

what i like abt this anime is that its quite funny and the oft switch to chibi characters. most importantly is that its only 13 episodes of less than 15 mins each. coz i'm not the kind that enjoys long ah-po stories... even in that short time, it is able to build on the characters (ok, i admit there's not much of a plot except the 2 falling in love) and give a GOOD ending. i know that there are ppl that wont watch a show if they know the ending's bad.

PS: the site i gave was in youtube, but i watched it in crunchyroll. youtube loads slower (still reasonable to me since it wont jam.) but the drawback in crunchyroll is the subtitles... the quality of the show is wayyyyyy tooooo baddddd... so bad that it really tests your intelligence in guessing the subtitles. yupz, if u're gonna search in crunchyroll, beware.

finally... all the pics...

the mushroom place:

scenery from the coach (we were travelling along the coastline throughout the tour)

CKS memorial hall:

the taroko national park: (btw, in the last pic we were looking at another camera, this was taken by the pro photographer w/o our knowing)

Ah mei aboriginals (the ppl very fair leh~) & the 3rd mao princess (beautitful also)

the wishing well that u can make a wish only after u hit the bell with a coin... legends says that if u look at the one of the white statues u like below for very long, the statue will look like u... i choose one that's sleeping. haha... =)

some place in kaoshiong, where i got this 'up up lot'. when u slot a coin into the machine, the puppet will go into its temple and take out a lot. later ty also got a lot, and its the same as mine, so i think all the lots inside are the same...

scenery from danshui:

princessy room wif 4 princesses (ym says that we look like we're sharing the crown =p )

the hao da chicken cutlet and da bing bao xiao bing 'big biscuit wrap small biscult'. i dun like the latter, too dry. actually wanna try the da chang bao xiao chang 'big intestine wrap small intestine' one, but was worried abt hygiene, i dun wanna have diarrhea on a tour... (btw, i think my skin's the best of us 3, hahhaa... luckily ym not in the pic) next is the mian ge da.

disciplined taiwanese... they queue to enter the train, they keep to the right of the escalator even if there's a crowd at the start. lousy english: yield seats to elderly, infirm (as in not firm) passengers and women with children (as in pregnant)... and cute 1 way mrt tickets in the form of a coin. u have to slot into the gate when u leave, so cant keep... according to yr, china trains also use this kind of 1 way tickets.

misc pics:
the xiao ding dang shop, wu fen pu, the shoe that i like but din buy, the softest shoes i ever worn, the whole tour minus some on the left, 6 of us infront of taipei 101, and the not-my-style bag which cost >30 bucks...

tAiW@n tRiP: dAy VI - VII (鼎泰丰's toilet)

2007-07-02T21:53:00.000+08:00

oops! this was supposed to be up long long ago, but i was too lazy to update le... anyway, here's some pics.
the food was nice, of coz. esp the skin of the xiao long bao. but i went to the yam cha buffet with yr and ji the next day i returned from taiwan and i found the fillings in yam cha better. haha...
me and hh shared a bowl of beef noodles again. haha... nice too, better than the one in that street place in my opinion. sorry ppl, no pics of food.

the interesting part of this place is the toilet~... haha... i find myself getting interested in bathrooms and toilets & etc...

anyway, the toilets here very well equipped
here's the toilet seat cover:

tissues & toilet seat cleaner:

audio equipments that produce flushing sound:

(so that u can sh... sh... in the correct atmosphere or ppl outside cant hear u sh.. sh.../poo poo) u put ur fingers over the black box (sensor) and the sound will start, but not for very long, i needa repeat 2 times (i think...) b4 my business was done.

finally, the washing wc:

the wc can help u wash ur butt one. we tried turning it on, but it wont start unless sum1 is sitting on it (sensor again). no body tried though, think its not very hygienic... here's a closer look at the control:

tAiW@n tRiP: dAy VI - VII (hotel)

2007-06-23T22:21:00.000+08:00

okok... finally here's some more pics, from my hp. coz still no one sending me their pics leh..

anyway, lemme first intro the hotel we checked into: Seasons Hotel. at first we wanna 2 other 4* hotels, but they're fully booked le. den we decided to try this b4 trying the other 3* ones. luckily got rooms left loh, coz i really dun wanna spend another nite at killin...

i'll skip the lobby/restaurant since they are covered in the hotel's website. (and i haven got pics of those! haha)anyway, we got free 2 upgraded rooms outta 3. i got the upgraded 'dream world' room (check the room section).. very passionate sia. ariane and py who's living directly above us got windows behind the red panel, but we are in lvl 2 so i think our room's blocked off...

ty and ym got the 'pink lady' room. which dun have a shower in the bathroom, they have to bathe in the jacuzzi. but i think their room's deco is better and we dun have that gui fei chair... the headboard also very princessy.

well, the main attraction of this hotel is the bathroom:
jacuzzi, which shld have rainbow lights when we were inside, but i dun see any. hh says she got green lights though.

the shower
and its special showerhead, like those used in swimming pools. (i like coz the flow very strong)
the sink & such

the rooms are made for couples, so there's this window with translucent glass that allows ppl in the room to see into the bathroom. there's a sheet of translucent paper that can be rolled down too. so, u'll still see a blurry mass if someone's behind the window. the wc is white and clean. u'll walways see a rubbish bin beside the wc coz the toilet paper cannot go into the wc. even if u poo poo, also must throw into the rubbish bin, or else u'll get a stuck wc...

facilities :
lcd tv (it juz happened to be on when i took the pic)
nice bedside lamps (haha... )
lots of drinks to choose from (down in the restaurant got more, free to take. we took 2 instant noodles each)

(opps! that's my toothpaste on the right. not for drinking purposes)

ooh, and their service very good. the porter very auto, no need to 'qing' one, unlike some other hotels. then there's this free shuttle bus to alot of places, but u need to reg and they got specific timing one. we missed the timing once, and the manager ordered the driver to make another trip for us. sooooo good.

breakfast is ordered the nite b4, so u no need to fight with others for good food. they also serve free flow of grape juice and grounded coffee (machine one lah)... there's other packet drinks and the instant noodles (that we took =p). then the day we left was duan wu jie, they got serve dumplings for breakfast de, but we leaving very early 615am, before the breakfast starts and they dabao for us to eat on the way.

ooh, i almost forgot. i also asked the receptionist there to send the postcards. my instinct tells me that they'll help me post one. even if the $$ i gave them is not enough. hhahaha..

yupz, that's it for the hotel part. the next place i took pics of is ding tai feng's toilet. hahaha... look forward to it hor

2007-06-20T22:22:00.000+08:00

heee... as i said, i cant rmb much of the places we went, so i'll juz mention some that leaves a bit of impression on me. btw, no pics for now as i only took them on the second day, afterwards i got lazy... anyway, waiting for my frens to send me the pics and also the pro photographer in our tour to email me too. pics of things i've bought will come soon, i hope i'll be diligent enough to take them tml... hahah... have patience.

cks memoral hall (name to be decided)
if anyone watches the news, u'll know this place gets renamed some time in early june. but due to some opposition, the name of the place is not yet decided. anyway, i rmb this place not bcoz of its beauty/historical value/etc but only bcoz its the first place we went to. the taxi driver (sgp) who also went to taiwan recently told me that there are more things to see inside such as bullet-proof tankers & such. but obviously my dear tour guide din think that they are worth seeing (so much for honesty sia~)

martyr's shrine (i think)
nothing much, but see the guards marching from the front gate to the inner palace(?) and back. personally i think its quite bo liao, but its juz like seeing the guards at london loh...

jiufen
forget wat's the place liao, but its in jiufen and it comprises of only 1 street. its quite crowded there and still vehicles drive into the smaller than 1 lane street. there's a shop selling muah chee that's quite special one. its yogurt (or maybe yogurt favored ice cream) inside, and muz be kept frozen. even so, it only lasts 1 day. so i juz bought 4 and eat them myself =p hahah.... super nice. also bought a calligraphy pen for my sis, with her name craved on it. then regretted later, coz she also graduating this yr, den no more chance to write calligraphy le... haiz

had lunch there too. the tour guide reco this 3 丸 soup, and beef noodles. me and hh shared a bowl of the soup and the beef noodles too. the soup was nice but too salty (as is all taiwanese food) and the beef noodles was ok only. hh said it was good but i personally find the beef noodles in jb better. the soup of the beef noodles was not as tasty, the beef not as well cooked. the noodles are Q'er, but not by much..

stone mushroom place (i forgot e name, too bad...)
eh, there's this place that has stones shaped like mushrooms. nothing much. the tour guide says there's a stone that is shaped like the elizabeth on the english coins but i dun really agree... anyway, who cares?

ah mei aboriginal's dance
it is supposed to be the largest aboriginal tribe in taiwan, and 小猪 is half ah mei, if i rmb correctly. i dunoe if i'm the only one who thinks this way, but isn;t aboriginals darker than normal ppl? but the guys (who danced half naked) were much fairer than i expected, they could be fairer than the average singaporean male even... hmmm....

anyway, their dance was kinda repetitive, and in addition to the music, there will be someone calling out weird sounds. i heard sth like 太热、更热 in hokkien (kar-zuar, guor-zuar) and was laughing secretly throughout the dance.

lingzi and tea house
this place belongs to the ah mei aboriginals. the tour guide was a friend of the promoter ( a doctor) and asked the ppl to give all tourists a bottle of lingzi water. not bad, tasted a bit bitter but that was much better than wat my parents cooked alr. there they also sell deer foetus, which is good for asthma. wanna to buy some lingzi but too ex le, din bring so much $$$.

mao princess house
the maos were another aboriginal tribe. the taiwan tourism board made it such that any travel agencies muz either skip both tribes or visit both, so as to be fair to the 2 tribes (but there are many other tribes, wonder why they din consider other tribes...). in addition to the lingzi and deer foetus the ah meis were selling, the maos also sells royal jelly. they said it was good for the stomach/gastric but it was the last day of the tour le, again no more $$$....

the princess thingy comes from a story one. but i really din catch wat the tour guide was saying, since i was either busy slping or watching the scenery outside. anyway, there's 3 princesses in the maos tribe, but only the 3rd and the youngest princess was at the 'shop' (they call it a house though). she was quite pretty but too much makeup in my opinion.

ma zu temple
another temple... but this one is more interesting. the first floor is filled with scary gods and housed a normal ma zu. the second and the third floor are more of a sight to behold: a jade and a gold ma zu. anyone reading this might think that i like the gold one better but u're wrong. the jade ma zu was in white and it looks much much more of importance than the gold one. u know, too much gold makes things look sooong (俗).

had this peanut + ice cream po pia juz outside the temple. nice and very special. it was only then i realized we were in 宜兰, zaizai's hometown, and will be traveling to another 县 alr. wahlau, wasted, was slping on the coach all the way and missed to see what kind of place 宜兰 was. but the ppl there sure dun sound like zaizai (he blamed his mispronouncation on the slang of the 县) hahhaha....

temple, again.... there's a wishing well which u can wish only after u hit the bell using a coin. clever thinking sia, more $$$ coming if the wisher is a bad aimer. den there's this donation thingy for an amulet, at least i'm paying for something tangible...

the tour guide said sth abt a place where the buddhas' eyes will folllow where we go and only me and ty interested in gg. so left hh and ym somewhere the guide let us roam and we started climbing up to the place. wah, super high loh, half dead when i reached the room. saw ariane halfway and asked her how was it, she said nothing much... (later i realized she nv went into the room, which was a pity.) the room was filled with golden statues of the buddhas. this was the room that i said i felt it was a pity i couldn't video it down. i counted a 18 by 12 statues per panel loh, and the nuns said there were ard 1 million statues inside.

ohh... forget to mention the 3 bigger statues in the centre. behind them are also panels holding smaller statues. no feeling of eyes folllowing us btw.

Taipei 101/wu fen pu/ Shinlin night market
the last day the tour guide more or less anyhow change the schedule liao. supposed to go to this mirama(spelling) shopping mall one, but didn't. instead we stopped by taipei 101 for ard 10mins to take the pic of the building. din go up also since its super cloudy, wont be able to see anything up in the gallery. after that she took us to wu fen pu. bought a couple of dress/long shirt, depending on how u wanna wear those. also saw nice bags, whose price also very 'nice'...

Shinlin night market was supposed to be very interesting. only it rained... we juz bought watever we wanna eat and went back to the coach le. regretted now, shld have explored more loh. there shld be more things than food there. saw stalls that u see in the amusement park (throwing hoops/gunning items etc) but no one playing since raining.

heeheee... i basically can't rmb where we went each day, coz not very memorible... =( plus i begin to suspect i got 少年痴呆症 or probably i'm aging 5x faster than a normal person. so, i'll juz cover some things in details here, the tour itinerary and the 2 days extension plus some idiotic things i did will be in separate posts.

well, day 1 was basically covered in previous posts. reached the kilin hotel at ard 8pm, and left for ximending. it was quite a walk to ximending, took us ard 15 mins. the things are quite nice over there but ex loh, esp if u not gd in bargaining. think hh quite gd in bargaining and think she can do better w/o me ard. haha...

we went back to hotel ard 1130pm and i quickly switched tv to ch28, its showing 大小爱吃 (i checked the channel online b4 gg to taiwan =p). the show's a variety cook show by 大S and 小S, and they'll ask the guests qns while the guest is cooking, in the hopes that the guest will ans unwittingly while occupied. it start airing on 11/6 so i missed the first episode with 蔡康永, wat a pity. (but i watched it last nite liao, hahahaha.... ) in all, i watched 4 episodes: their boss 郭伟忠，S.H.E，杨丞林、贺军翔、王传一，their mum 徐妈妈. (hope zaizai will go when promoting his new show. heehee... )

day2 was the first day of the tour in fact. thats when we saw our tour guide (the tour was made up of ppl booking from different agencies... ) she quite old alr and still thinks she looks younger than she really is... -_-'" and she is long winded. say alot of politics that i have no interest in and boring stuff that i started slping in the coach the next day...

btw, if anyone is gg to taiwan, i do not recommend killin hotel (day1 hotel), coz its not clean... the sheets were prickly and my skin is sensitive, see. so when i scratch (bcoz its itchy), my skin gets swollen. so i get a pair of reddish carrot legs the next day. gd impression for the other tourist sia~ -_-'" at first i tot it was the dry climate (sensitive skins are dry) so i went to borrow body lotion from ariane the next nite. (speaking of which, its still with me now... think muz go buy one to return her) but the following nites i have no such prob alr. thus my conclusion is that the sheets are dirty...

bAcK!

hoho... finally i'm back, bring a 25kg luggage. got alot of things but i think still not enough to give alot out, so hope u all dun mind when i give u only 1 or 2 pieces of food.

wahahah... paisey, i said i'd update my blog but it seems that the 3G here in taiwan not very advanced, worked only the first time...

anyway, had fun though spent alot of time on the coach, sleeping and listening to the guide's personal lifestory. i'll give a quick recap of the interesting places for now:

saw a xiao ding dang shopalong a night market, the display window was full of the toys and etc.. din went in though, coz in a hurry.

the toilets in taiwan are very special, u cant throw the toilet papers into the toilet bowl cos its passage is very narrow, and thus might be blocked and cant be flushed...

there's this temple that holds alot lot of golden statue. the four walls were covered with them and the statues are in GOLD~~~my fav colour. wat a shame i couldnt record video, it'll be super amazing to stand in the middle and rotate while videoing.

skiped the hotspring coz it was that time of the mth... heard it makes skin smooth... haiz~~~

saw alot of beautiful bags and earrings that i like but very very ex.... killls me every time when i juz hafta leave them behind.

so long, needa go alr, hh sharing my room and the key is with me.... hahaha. tata~

sat. that day of the week that i have to mop the floor. usually i dun go out, but since i've been irritated by that bf of my aunt, i figured that the floor can stay unmopped.

was dragged to bugis again, but we were hanging ard the opp side of the street (as opposed to wed, i mean). had aijisen ramen. i really think that the volcano ramen chilli is nice. spicy enuff, makes me think of the 麻辣火锅 i couldn't have... =(. ohhh, dun be mistaken, i din have volcano ramen, i had the beef pepper one, coz i wanna eat MEAT. hahha~

talked again... of coz, with ls there. and took alot of funny nonsense pics. btw, hf was gg to watch a performance later so she came looking like a doll. very nice dress plus her demure manner, ho~! super nice. but poor her, her heels not very fitting and she walked ard with us for 3, 4 hrs until her feet was red where the shoes' strings are.

oh, another thing. we went to this other restaurant to have some dessert, and the waiters were some foreigners from dunoe what country. so there was some lingo miscommunication and the guy who served us got blasted by ariane. another poor thing. the rest of us were like staring at her and giving her the why-u-so-fierce look, while she was giving the waiter how-come-u-so-stupid stare.

and i've bought my court shoes. got them at 36 bucks... so i tot i'd juz get ji and yr share the cost. regretted now. shld have made ji pay for all loh, since the present i got him also ard that price. haiz, but since i told him its 40, den shld be collecting 20 from him and 16 from yr bah =p hehe

finally, today. today was kinda crowded, 8 ppl showing up. jono came after his work at saf, so was not counted in the 8. so it was 9 in total, quite impressive.

actually i was not very interested in gg ktv but the last time i met the sa ppl was prob last yr, so i went more for the purpose of seeing old frenz. anyway, sung a few songs and talked abit abt the trip to taiwan since mt and der have been there last yr. and i told them abt my big luggage, and it seems they also got similar sized luggage. phew~

did a lot of catching up. like ym's profs and mods, jono's intern, der's 4.98 grade (and his obvious lie to kg. i dun think i'm supposed to tell, but who cares?) haiz, all the ntu ppl got a job alr... even hh who started looking after her exams accepted one recently. ty was accept a yr ago and will start work only mid aug. mt prob will start soon, but she told me her sis, a chem honors student found a job in admin, and i was quite sian... is there really no jobs for chemist? considering my grade, i muz really start finding once i got back from taiwan.

the ktv was supposed to end at 7pm, but we stayed until 730pm when a waiter 'reminded' us time's up. so we left and went in search for food (actually only jono was interested in dinner, none of us wanted to eat) but we kept him company and surprisingly ym and kg also had dinner. ty and me had dessert. and we talked again. until 9 plus....

but mind not. i've got my 护花使者 back coz its sch hols and hostels are closed. so me and der went back home tog. talked again, haha... der mentioned sum1 failing his mod at the last sem and couldn't grad on time. it was really horrible loh, not being able to grad with his frens, esp in ntu where they dun have 1 more honors yrs. at least if i failed, i could grad with ls and sy, but for that guy, he'll be graduating alone... haiz... poor thing. btw, thanks to ty, i also gg to lobang der to change $$$ for me. i went to bugis to change 500 le, but the rate at people's park better and i decided to change 100 more, in case.

abt weds, we kinda spent our time looking at bags. (although i wanted to buy black court shoes for convo, but no nice ones) and den i saw this white and gold bag, its basically a transparent plastic with a white silky bag inside. i got the "this is mine" feeling again, but was hesitant abt buying when i looked at the price. $35.90... luckily yr suggested asking the boss abt lowering the price. den the auntie juz go straight down to $29, 'sale' she said. wahahahahah~~ !!!even god is on my side.den i noticed a scratch on the lock of the bag and after some persuading, the auntie cut another dollar, so i got my bag at $28 =p. god is really on my side sia

after that, we met ji at kushim-bo and somehow all of us are full. dunoe why leh, so the meal was kinda wasted since its buffet style. but there was this crab leg thingy that was quite tasty only it needed quite a bit of work... and of coz the desserts were attractive, as usual. i was kinda surprised at ji though, became more attentive and gentlemanly after he got attached. last time needa force/threaten him to do things one, this time he automatically do. not bad, got improvement. hahahah =)

we walked abit ard suntec b4 gg home. i saw a pair of nice black court shoes, platform style, in charles and keith but it costs ard $37, and i wasn't prepared to spent that much on a pair of shoes that i'll probably wear once. that chicken asked me wat i wanted for my bday (he still hasn't bought anything) and when i asked him to buy that shoes, he refused. wahliao, den no need to ask mah~ i say le also cant get wat i want~~ chey! yr still interested in seeing things but my brain shut down alr, so we decided to go home.

went to yr's house to do dunoe what (i really forget liao) but bcoz my 10pm show started, i stayed to watch and later felt it too dangerous (and i was lazy) to go home, so i stayed the nite and watch this hong kong series abt abalone until 4am. we even called mac's delivery. haha... we got up at 2pm the next morning to have lunch

Last nite met ls, pj, sy and hf to watch pirates 3. we actually met earlier to buy hf's present and also eat dinner with ariane. however, we din manage to finish buying before the time we arranged to meet hf and made her wait for us ard 30mins. haha... a bit paisey there.

juz b4 the show, yr told me the film very lan and ls said bro and bf also complained abt the show, and i was kinda disappointed. after watching, i find it ok lah. sure, there are loopholes everywhere and some unexplained happenings. but in my opinion its better than the second part. it makes me laugh harder at least.

anyway, i've went to wiki and read some things and there are some things i think that are useful.

will may not be bound to the flying dutchman for eternity. according to legend, if the captain of the flying dutchman finds true love when he is on land, he shall be freed. (the number of years he have to spend on sea differs in various versions of the legend) if this applies, will could be free after the 10 years of service (as shown in the after credits, elizabeth does stay true to him)
the kraken (the octopus that eats jack sparrow), was put to death by davy jones, who acted under the commands of east trading company.
davy jones was monsterous (with that half sea creature look) bcoz he abandons the duties calpsyo gave him. thats why the rest of the crew regained their human looks when will became captain.
the second and the third part have lousy plots becoz the movie starting filming when the scripts weren't done. they juz acted on the spot as they go along, sort of....

loopholes i have no answers for:

the monkey was still cursed? the azech(spelling) stolen from part1 was all returned, thats why jack could kill barbossa. but how come the monkey was still cursed?
refering to point 1 abt will not being bound for eternity. i think thats not true. coz we rmb jack sparrow comtempting to kill davy jones and the two miniature him that sprout out from his hair says he was bound eternally. i mean, if the service was only 10 yrs, jack wouldn't have hesitated, and killed davy jones immediately. but he did not, so either the legend doesnt hold here or there plot had a loop hole.

i'M aNgRy. i'M mAd.

arghz... its not that i wanna talk about my aunt's bf again, but he really does try my tempers. which decent man goes to his gf's house and lay horizontal on the sofa and sleep off the day? oops, correction: he does watch the tv when he's not sleeping. god, how useless can he get?

really regretted mopping the floor today, the tot of him stepping on the newly mopped floor juz irritates me. and i have taken an aversion to the sofa, coz i felt that they are dirtied by him, and the cushions are like germ infested garbage coz he use them as pillows.

anyway, i've juz tot of a new way to get rid of his cup. last time my sis came up with a good idea of putting cockroach in his cup and my aunt would be terrified in retrieving it and thus break it. but it was not feasible as i couldnt find dead cockroaches (which wont move ard) and that is not squashed to death or killed by insecticide. the former being too obvious it was a prank, and the latter being toxic (i dun wanna kill him, really).

but juz now i tried oiling his cup and found that the oil looks really like honey, and honey attracts ants... ants are starting to build a home in my house these days, they're juz so going to infest the cup. wahaha

btw, oiling doesnt really work out as it is too deliberate. anyone with brains would have guessed it was my doing. i dun wan to spoil my relationship with my aunt, at least not over that useless specimen of a man. so~ i had to wash that cup, but not too cleanly also. hope the oil leaves smells...

如果说毕业就表示失业，我不介意失业。
早已对学习失去热诚，对于即将领的文凭，我没有其他感触，只有解脱。
如果说不迷惘、不彷徨，那是骗人的。
上学、考试、毕业，这样的生活模式，我也过了15年。
如果说人生是一条路，那这是一个里程碑，
我已步上了这段路的终点，带着些许期待、些许遗憾，但没有不舍。
感谢与我同路的朋友，让我15年求学生涯不孤单。

like i've said, the 4 of us went out yesterday. and after getting dinner, we walked abt a bit and went to secret recipe for some cakes. the mystery part comes in when the bill arrives, its $13. so dividing it by 4, everyone shld have paid $3.25. but i calculated wrongly and told them its $4.25.

thus pj, ls, and me took out a $5 note and 25c change, while sy took out a $2 note and 2 $1 coin plus 25c change. den we realized that we have more than $13 since we (pj, ls, me) took back only $1. so in actual fact, the 4 of us shld take back 1 more dollar.

pj took the $2 note and gave the $1 coin to sy, while ls and me took a $1 each. the prob is, there is still $1 of change (in 10c, 20c, and 5c) from the total, and no matter how we reason, there's juz no explanation for the extra dollar except that one of us thought we took the $1 alr when we have not.

went out wif ls, pj and sy yesterday and saw a hairband that i like very much:

the thinner ones, with gold bands, not the thick, cloth ones. and the one i like is in the shape of a crown, not shown here. its really very cute and of coz expensive, $10+. if not for pj and ls restraining me, i would have been the proud owner of one.

anyway, i also saw a white leather bag with gold accessories/handle. you noe there's times when u see sth and u juz noe that thing belongs to u? yupz, that bag was juz so my type these days. but again $50, and i'm still not that 败家.

XXX先生某晚喝得烂醉回家。

第二天早上醒来，头痛欲裂，刚要起来找头痛药，却看到床头已放着一杯水和几片药。衣服也已烫好，整齐地放在床边。杯子底下还压着一张纸条，上写着：
“亲爱的老公，我去上班了，你把头痛药吃掉，早餐已经准备好在餐桌上，趁热吃吧，爱你喔。”

先生一头雾水，走进厨房一看，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛，热腾腾的早餐果真放在桌上，而且还有当天的早报。这一切都太反常了，先生百思不得其解，于是就找来儿子问道： “儿子啊，昨天晚上到底发生了什么事？”
儿子回答：“你半夜喝醉酒回家，跌跌撞撞，吐了一地，门也被你撞坏了。”
“那你妈妈为什么还做了早餐给我吃呢？我说过什么话吗？”
儿子说：“没说什么呀，不过，你骂了她一句？”
“啊？骂了什么？”
“妈妈一肚子火帮你脱你裤子，你却骂她“小姐，滚开，我已经结婚了。”

笑话归笑话, 这男人还真的是稀有品种了...
