Some people really get me fuming. They don't know when to shut their trap and yak on and on. Jack, I don't give a flying fuck what happens to your girlfriend. You were the one who lied to her not me, so QUIT whining that she's ignoring you now. And you deserve it. Totally.

If I were in her shoes, I'd give you one tight slap and end it. Consider yourself lucky that Emma is a nice girl. But I'm not Emma, and I would NEVER do what you did, so SHUT UP about it. I've heard enough.

And I know you read my blog, so get this straight - I don't bloody care what happens to you. Two-timers should stay in bins where they belong.

Been about a week plus since I updated, but anyways as you guys can see, I've a new blog layout! ^_^

Its simple, with the squares for navigation, since I didn't want something with too much bling, nor with girly colours, I wanted to look for a girl holding an umbrella, but couldn't find any on blogskins so I got this instead. Edited some of the html code to get the alignment and stuff right =)

School wise .. have to buck up for POFM paper. Tks Qi for reminding me. ECPJ .. yeah I know I procrastinate horribly on that, but presentation is coming soon. So, cannot slack.

On Thurs morning, 14 business women and men headed to AMK Hub to accompany said man to buy his formal wear, because he forgot that we had a presentation on that day. Said sotong being Robin, who mostly acted as if it was no big deal when some of us who turned up early for class gaped at him. His reason - mind was preoccupied with the cue cards and rehearsing. Thing is, if he can remember to bring his cue cards, and turn up for lesson, he should have remembered it. Anyways, off we went when at around 8.25am our teacher called to say there was no class, all the way down to AMK via train, ladies suffering in various degrees in our heels.

Bought his formal wear at Fairprice, then I saw HP book7, so I brought it for $48.05. :p Despite me saying I'm not that much of a HP fan .. no spoilers! But allow me to confess I never liked happy endings.

Had breakfast at the S11 kopitiam nearby, got myself ba chor mee, then we all took a bus back to campus block L side, where we had to climb an extremely long flight of stairs and reach in time for our presentation, with plenty of time to spare for last-min rehearsal, since the earlier class took their own goddamn sweet time and made us delay ours.

Feet hurt for 2 days after .. ooh heels! Dreadful things. I never can understand how ladies can suffer pain for the sake of this 'lift' feeling, much less shop in them o_0 .. maybe I'm not that in touch with my feminine side lol

Waiting for Ocean's14 and Rush Hour 3 =) Woot Jackie Chan!

Fishy Business

Went to AMK Hub with my family to celebrate my dad's b-day at Fish & Co today. Since he didn't want a cake, we thought a restaurant would be good.

We got there at 1.50pm and had to queue for a bit, as the outlet there is a little cramped. As usual, the staff there are so attentive and friendly! We ordered Masala Pizza, my sis chose Coriander Catch, me and my dad had New York Fish & Chips, a Mermaid Freeze for my dad, my mum decided on Wrasse Fillet with Picatta, and my brother wanted salmon.

We also got the soup of the day (mushroom) with our sets, which would be $1.90, instead of ordering separately which would cost $4 per cup. GST hike is >< Then we had a laugh when the Mermaid Freeze came, because it was this huge UBER big mug of drink! ahah

Then when the bill came, my mum told the waiter it was my dad's b-day, so he showed the waiter his IC, and we got 10% off our bill and a complimentary vanilla ice cream =) So we racked up to about $79.60 total .. which isn't too bad, below a 100 bucks. The 3 of us went home for a nap, while my mum and sis went to Outram Park to see the zhong yi, Kuo Meiling.

Woke up in time to catch the detective show on Channel 8. Gonna start ECPJ stuff now, ta! Have a good weekend all.

Many Meetings ..

Apologies for the above misleading title, should be called many reunions haha. Lets see, this week I had a total of 5 dear dear people getting in touch with me, so brightened up otherwise lousy week:

1) Daedy. Who's a very nice and funny guy and my fellow staffer on HobbitQuest where I do the weapons and armor lists lol. Some may think I waste my time making them, since its not really appreciated by players, but to me, its my interest lor. LOTR fan all the way! Thanks for all the funny stuff =)

2) Zhi Yang. Aka my ex-colleague from Su Korean. We chatted a bit, and were surprised on both sides to find out the other had no boy/girl friend. >.> Which is a surprise, but anyway, long time no talk ahah, you always pop out of the blue when I'm doing my work hehe. God bless, and way to go dragon boat dude!

3) Benny. Secondary school classmate. Who (generously got me my first mp3 player) and went to Kunming to "immerse in the culture" there. Survived on 5k yuan a month. Wow, pei fu, I couldn't survive on that even if the things there are cheap. And why no pics! *cry* .. I wanted to see how it was like there boo .. But anyway glad that you didn't get affected by the flood. I don't know geography to save my life ..

4) Next, Kory! My nick for Koreth from EragonLive, the super UBER clever god of IT. Who is always helpful when I have questions with regards to my projects. Who listens to my rants, and who is .. nicest online father figure ever. Who can cook very very well and likes to eat =) You really should migrate here haha. But I will never try crapple lol.

5) Last but not least, Cheryl! Some of you may know her from the movie 小孩不笨 (I Not Stupid). She played Selena's daughter in that Jack Neo movie. My good friend in secondary sch, we lost touch after graduating. Anyways, it's good to know all's well with her, except she is having her A levels. Yeah, and I complain at the slew of projects and test .. I think you more stress than me girl, but jia you!! I'm gunning for you =) Good luck with your boyfie haha, may you two be together always.

And I think that's about it, thanks to you 5! Love yall ^_^

p.S: I wonder what happened to Levon, also a dear dear friend who's stationed in Iraq now. Dude, I hope you're ok and just slacking off playing WoW. Ok, maybe I'm thinking too much but I hope you guys didn't get bombed or smth. Keep safe! So I don't have to worry about you.

Settlement

Completed Biz Com skit, just need to rehearse the script.

Done with POFM ICA3, which I know I flopped coz I mixed up all the formulas.

Half done for IPTNET Case Study, and Biz Env. Left with the presentations.

ECPJ, presentation and integration to be done.

Otherwise, have been playing Granado Espada to keep myself from going bonkers. Its a really cool game. Go play and you'll see what I mean.

~aDdIcTeD~

My Family Name is Valkrin on Vivaldi Server, lvl 16 Mage, Fighter and Musketeer. So if anyone wants to join my squad, pm me =)

Frustrations ..

Mum cooked chicken chop for our dinner yesterday. Not too bad, but the gravy could use some improvement. Had the usual at Splash and Decker for lunch today, hot fudge choc brownie with choc ice cream, and Milo freeze.

And no, choc didn't have any effect at all. And I think I know why: its when this whole shit started. Test today was .. I know I got some things mixed up, but as long as I pass I'm happy. Project wise .. gonna settle the script for Biz Com tomorrow during break. Starting on IPTNET case study on thurs and fri.

V.jealous of my sis, whose boyfie took her out to watch Harry Potter 5 at AMK Hub on Sun. I have SO a list of movies to buy/watch .. what's lacking is the time and money and company.

ECPJ .. has brought about a whole lot of frustrations on. I'm not worried for my function. Although I'd like very very much to just tell the rest to fuck this project, and that I wanna throw in the towel. Listened to 24 by Jem on repeat for the past day plus today. Its hard rock (1st on my playlist), didn't think I'd like it, but there you go, helps to numb the senses (and deafen your hearing after blasting the speaker).

I would also .. love to rant. Although I really shouldn't, but there are some things which I can't be keeping inside. My patience is high-strung now. Some people love to dominate the whole project, despite not being the leader. Said leader echoes the dominating one. Said members, some can take it, some can't. I can't. Dominating one LOVES to argue until she is right when she isn't. And I don't want to pretend to co-exist with said people who make this project HELL anymore. Its nearly impossible because the effects, while not as much on me, is making a certain someone 走投无路. Which after hearing, I'm not happy either.

It should NOT have to come to this. No one should EVER have to be pushed into a corner. And I'm sick and tired of having to face said people at school. Sick and tired of having to deal with them for this bloody project. First impressions .. you wouldn't know until you actually work with said people, and find out that they are shitty. I don't claim to be so efficient at group work, nor am I so good that people love me whichever group I'm in, for whichever module. But I do try and put in effort, even if it takes slower for me, since I don't like to be rushed.

But, when you got someone driving you .. and like really driving you (think bull and farmer, expect said farmer is very good at talking), then shit hits the fan. I nearly, very nearly blew up at them during e-com lesson today. Simply no way to get a word in edgewise when she talks. Just on and on. And what cheek to smile! But thought that I did not want to drag others into this.

Went home, and got so mad that I teared for a bit. Emotions running away with me I think.

气刹爆炸. Tomorrow Edwin wants to meet us for our functions. Tomorrow we shall see. And very likely, tomorrow I shall scream.

Je deteste chiennes. Really.

Anyways, not much to update about. Got C+ for POFM project. Just happy we passed. That JLO keeps saying we're the worst in the cohort. And mins later she contradicts herself by saying "your group is not too bad". And then, she tells us how our incoming ICA next week is very crucial, and that we must work very hard to score, since "you all DBI side always fail in exams". -_-

The whole 0608 failed their ICA, only 3 passed. Our Biz Environment tutor Meow says we've been "consistent", so when we told her about JLO saying that she said "cannot be, you all have been putting in effort blah" .. If this is some kind of reverse psychology to make us work harder for our exam .. wrong tree, JLO. Its demoralizing, offending even when you say we're the worst when we know we are not that terok.

ECPJ .. redoing database. And hopefully starting linking to database by this weekend. DBMS test next week, 10%. Stayed back for the tutorial since Ho clearly marked me for it, and I don't feel confident about my grades. She basically went through some basic SQL statements with us, I didn't do too bad. Although for some reason Celeste likes to add extra things lol :p

Going to arrange a day or two next week to start on our Biz Com skit.

I swear, if chocolate still has no effects, I'm gonna drug myself.

Complains

Warning to all, online or RL friends: Stay AWAY from me this week. If not you'll wonder how come I blow up/snub you for no reason. Very frustrated.

Anyway, this guy, Rev Will Bowen wants all of us to stop complaining. What originally started as a sermon to his congregants has turned into a worldwide campaign. Wear the purple bracelet to remind yourself to " stop complaining, criticizing or gossiping."


"When you're focusing your attention on what's wrong or complaining, you're going to get more of what you're complaining about," Bowen says. "Complaining draws all of its essence from negativity. When you complain, you do it typically to attract attention or sympathy. It's you saying 'There's something wrong with me.' You're sending out this vibrational energy into the universe that you're a victim, and the universe responds with more negativity."

Try wearing the bracelet for 21 days, and see how long you can endure not making a single complaint. You can make a request for a free purple bracelet at the church's address,

Chiong!!

Procrastinated for like the past two weeks. As a result, one mad scramble of epic proportions ensued over the past 3 days. Have managed to complete a number of screens, left with 3 to go out of .. well, 170 plus .aspx files that I did over these time frame.

Skipping lessons to finish them up, with POFM work ><

Gave my mum a heart attack when I printed the screenshots last night. In colour.

Biz Com Project to be completed on Tues .. one project down. Left with ECPJ, Biz Env, Biz Com ICA4 .. crazyness I tell you.

Me pig of a sis still HAS NOT got me my VERY belated b-day prezzie. She can forget about hers also. But we decided to get Harry Potter book7, and we're gonna wait for the price to drop, since we're in no hurry to read it. She also urges me to go watch Transformers. I've so got a whole list of movies I wanna watch, but where to find the time I ask you.

Although, her nightly conversations with her boyfie Aaron keep me awake, what with giggles and all, still, its quite funny to eavesdrop while I'm on the laptop.

Speaking of which, I think my laptop's gone bust on me. First, the battery indicator is orange, and blinking. Screen display for it also disappeared. Second, it hanged for two times in a row, while I was doing my ECPJ on the VS 2005. And both times I had to redo the screens because I didn't save. ><

Learnt my lesson, like what gaming pros will tell you: Save when possible.

Cute boy at Vivo

This is the little boy who stole our hearts (mine and my group mates) while we were at Vivo last week doing our project. KAWAIIness!! Never got to find out his name, but oh well ..

Shopping = Whee!

Accompanied Huiqi to Bugis yesterday so she could get a laptop. Crowd was terrifying, droves of people all about rushing on their shopping spree before the GST went up to 7%. Everywhere I looked, GSS banners. Discounts. Get 2 get 1 free. So on and so forth .. cash registers must have been ringing like mad yesterday.

I looked around in Bugis Village while she proceeded to Sim Lim. Saw a shop selling the blowsy pants that Faizah has, but the uncle wanted $20 in cash. Browsed other stores, they were selling the same things. Stepped into this shop, Zimble, and bought these two tops:



Off-shoulder purple tube, $33.80.


Black shirt with shimmers, $20.

After that, I decided to go down to Orchard's Far East Plaza, to see if I could find the black pants there. Walked about the shops, crowd wasn't so bad, but there were still enough people to make you regret going out on a Saturday. I checked out out this shop that claimed to be selling Hong Kong stuff, the auntie showed me black leggings with lace (><) for $19.

Another was selling them at $18.90. So after browsing through most of the shops, I went into Tokyo Bay, which was selling the black legging w/o lace for $14. =) It pays to look around hehe. Bought this as well:



Green top, $8.


Got home tired, but very happy =) I love shopping! But I can't stand the walking haha. Toodles!
