hello! (image heavy)
woohoo!
miss me =)
ugly betty season 2 is on!
major spoilers include santos being alive, marc and betty getting a new love!
ahhh! totally can't wait!
season 1's dvd is out too! should ask ms ailin to help me buy when she's back in the US.
i'm all recovered and healthy! thankyou =)
the dreadful exams are finished! 2 good, 2 bad.
now living in pure bliss, no stress, no need to dash out for school, BEST LA! NO SCHOOL!!!!
definitely no plans to work~ just staying home to watch dvds, hang out and meeting friends, bake and maybe go for the much needed jog to loose the extra baggage.
IPP started.
ALL THE BEST Leqi, Queen, Juli and Ezzy! You can do it darrlings!
i miss blogging and i have lots to comment and share on:
1) exams
2) NDP
3) long overdue pictures - friends, gb
4) weekend of celebrations
Study week should be a week so why the hack did the exam committee schedule my first exam on the last day of study week?
damn.
the week felt so short, unready and soo unprepared
panic a lot this time, somehow, i just felt really unsure, scared and breathless. Haven felt so insecure before....
this sem's modules are all theory.
this meant intense memorizing and writing till my hand cramps -.-"
now... everything seemed to be erased and returned to the respective lecturers/tutors
i do not understand why the timings of the exams are at such extremes.... 1 can be as early as 8.30am in the morning and the other as late as 4.30pm.
what the hack are they thinking? SIAO DING TONGS
as mentioned 2 good, 2 bad.
what was bad ---> Quality Management and Global Supply Chain
feel good papers --> Marketing Research and Contact Centre Management
QM
Too many questions to answer for a 2 hrs paper. besides, everything seem to a repeatitive.
my regreat in this paper is in section b. where i chose a question that allowed me to answer faster instead of the other that i memorise/knew/understood better. ah dui~ WHY! just because it required lesser thinking and writing. thankfully the chosen topic was browsed through earlier but no way am i gonna ace it . Hopefully, grades don't be pulled down ahh!
For once, i really wrote to the last second. struggled and scribble. even with more time given, i guess i couldn't finish it since there was really too much to write and squeeze into every point.
Supply Chain
i can safely say my entire section a is a gone case. of all the topics, the lecturer had to choose my weakest topic! Inventory! the topic is so dry and tedious and.... consist of a full 30 marks. DIE!!!!!!! tried to smoke through but even with half mark here or there, will not be able to pass the section.
i think section b and c is ok. hey! there's always a but, i just wrote everything not sure if i'm totally right. really sad knowing section a is gone but still, learnt a good lesson. Don't assume but always do my best!
MR
after 2 evil papers, MR was my feel good paper! so direct and straight to the point. That's the way la!
i could do every question!
2 major hiccups. i totally missed out the last question of the paper worth 6 marks cos it was listed on the last pape and i didn't noticed it. only after ah zhu told me then i realised.... dammit! i knew the answers la!
the other one mistake is finding the sample size. missed a step in the formulae and knew the answer was totally wrong but just couldn't figure it out. should have be more viligant, might not score full marks but its better then none.
still, i went home totally happy!
Call Centre
Whoa. i totally digested and vomited every single thing i memorise. All credits to Ms Yik for giving all the spot-on hints! even managed to finish the paper early and fast much to my surprise! besides, the paper was very manage-able so i guess its good!
no complaints. it made a good end to the exam horror!
i'm anxious about the results already. *fingers cross*
then again, it's over!!!!!!
NDP 2007 ended with a big bang!
look at the amount of people who volunteered along with the auntie!
totally love that my esplanade group (including the leaders and sector ICs)are of the same frequency as me (read: hyper crazy)
and best of all, the alp apl army personnel, Kevin is equally fun!
he has to be the only army personnel loved by their group. Hey! we even had our own special dance and song for him =)
still, the committee head is a bitch and the advisor is a jerk
asking us to report at 11am to eat lunch.
like hello! duty starts at 3pm and u ask me go so bloody early to eat lunch?
stoned the afternoon away and rushed through duty till 7pm
i hate this year's duty. so stupid
if i were a VVIP, it certainly didn't felt like one. just getting parking priviledges that's all
other than that, personally, i still think it's a screw ups.
besides, food is horrible. it gives me a case of bad farts after eating.
BUT! i still like this year's group! a mixture of poly, uni and jc students coming together to serve the nation.
made a lot of frends who really bonded over the two months! can't wait for the upcoming meet up!
Haruchan, me, Jamie and the star!
remember, when your are lost, follow the blue light =)

esplanade jump!
Esplanade had our first group outing at our turf! Haaa. Marina square
chilled at BK and watched Rush Hour 3
not to bad but i still prefer the original. More corny than funny.
Jackie is good, Chris Tucker is just all talk and bullshit, too damn noisy for my liking.
timing's also kinda short, everything was very rushed through and predictable.
overall ---> soso =P
ps: MANDY! u like my singing right? =)
pss: next outing, ratouille?

Saturday
met the extended family the ah Tans to celebrate neineitong dajie, Fanny Tan's Birthday!
this woman was 3 hours late!
-.-"
throughout my secondary school, this batch of sisters has stick with me through thick and thin,
i mean serious shit together. we endured each other for 7 years and saw each other grew up from teens to erm~ womanhood,,,,, iterally. Eileen is already a mother with 2 adorable boys! =)
things happen in the funniest way. all of us have the same surname, Tan
our meeting was very weird... we sat infront and behind of each other according to our index no. through the arrangment of our names. and this arrangement stuck with us for 5 years, how not to be close rite?
teachers are called us the TANs with an attitude. LOL
we were a total mixture, and you don't have to guess who is the smarty pants =P
i love them endlessly! eventhough they complained that i only appear at their birthday celebrations because i'm sucha 'busy person' *opps*
BUT i learnt that only friendships like this,,,, last! even if i'm always m.i.a-ing
the night b4, a certain friend exclaimed that i am forever the same... should change for the better. change my attire, hairstyle, behaviour - more ladylike, put on makeup and even trying clubbing.
i stared at her blankly.
is all that a must in order to tell everyone that i have grown up? why can't she accept the way i am?
all i can said was my priorities are different and everything that she mentioned are not mine....
SHE, not knowing my meaning continued blabbing away about her experiences in a club....
i told the sisters, along with the fact that i felt rather undress for the occasion cos i went in polo tee and shorts. and they screamed BUT THAT'S THE WAY YOU ARE! They also reminded me that i shouldn't be bothered about the above friend's comments because obviously she didn't accept me the way i am.
For that moment, i almost cried because it became obvious who my true friends are. =)
since secondary school, i have always been the more straightforward kind and they accepted all my sarcasm with grace, still is more boyish and casual in dressing while they are more girlish but they ultimately accepted the way i am. thankyou for the assurance sisters! =)
i remembered something now. that friend who commented also mentioned that she doesn't have cliques because she also ends up in the wrong class. i like to think otherwise,,,,,,,,,, i think it's because she is too choosy. HOW CAN U CHOOSE FRIENDS? friendships form naturally and it just happens. i guess no matter how u change - appearance wise, you are still you and that does not necessary means you're accepted.
so i'm glad as normal, loud and underdress that i am, i am accepted by my friends. With that, i can also proudly proclaim i have more friends than you! IN YOUR FACE ****! =P
Back to FANNY. this woman, forever late.... getting from bad to worse, 3 hrs
what really irks us is that even at 3 hrs late, she has no guilt or signs of remose... -.-"
Fanny! my prayer and wish for you is to change your habit! marrying an old man will not solve any problems!
sisters! (L to R) Pei, Xuan, Fanny and Wen
like any family, we had a heartwarming zi-cha dinner =)
love them to bits
THANKYOU!!!
Sunday
i am thankful once again because i also have another group of loves who accepts me the way i am and we spent an afternoon together to keep ipp off leqi's mind. =)
Window shop and learnt a new dance - line dancing!
went amk hub and watched 881!
Qi and Rene! both of you look so good!!!!! =) dragon, must wear more of such dresses hoh!
881 is a relatively good show! the storyline is abit complicated and the hokkien is rather chim but the songs are fantastic! my favourite song is one half - hokkien version!
i cried at the ending cos its so touching!!!!! small papaya(standing in blue on the left) came back during 7th month to sing with big papaya.
i am quite surprised that 715 had no talking scenes! even the voiceover which is suppose to be his character's voice is not his actual!! i find his character carrying the chicken rather redundent... guessed it helped express the emotions better... HACK! he's still hot! =)
may and cho remind me so much of leqi!!!! 干爹，你看！sounds exactly like qi when she shouts my name! LOL.
between the papayas, i prefer the smaller one. i dunno why but i find her more real and can relate to her better.
my favourite characters in the show is not the main but the supporting cast - auntie ling and HIV girls
this trio is hilarious! HIV - Holy Innocent Virgins the cross dressers. ROFL!
Auntie ling is super comical, i love how she can insert humour into everyday life issues and give nonsensical comments or scoldings that is yet so interestingly good, true and funny!
just like in one scene, she prayed at the temple to have the papaya sisters to be sweeter every year and to be more popular while the durian sisters to rot and be thrown far far away! LOL!
i wanna be like her =D
erm...
THE END!
