this blog is collecting dust!
so here i am tidying up the corners a little bit.
here’s a quick update on my life:
1. january’s a whole load of birthdays and its burning a biiiig hole in my pocket. i need to eat grass for the next few days.
2. i am getting fat. and cny is coming. what to do! shit!
ok somehow blogging has become a chore for me. shall end here. good night!
Oh yes! I’ve finally signed up for the maxmobile 10mb thingie (its $5 every month) that allows me to surf on the web without any hassle! yes ah!!! last month’s bill for the taiwan trip, together with the data charges was a whopping 3 digit number. to prevent such shocks from happening, i better do something about it.
yesterday was a treat for the movie whore in me. i watched 2012 and my girlfriend is an agent back to back! first was with the monsters, then it’s with sy. haha! super random of me. 2012 was, unexpectingly disappointing for an end-of-the-world kind of show, more of a report of factual occurences than of a show tugging your heartstrings. for MGIAA, it’s a typical korean show without much character development and loads of action scenes. not much satiation for the movie whore in me, but oh well its the company that matters! 
nothing much else going in my life, practices, school coming up, and a few exams and tests along the way. my life is rather boring. oh and my love relationship of 2 years plus ended. okay end of story. maybe i should spice my boring life up with my jdrama addiction again. haha.
off to my jap class before im late (again!). tata~
random

Food for thought
Harvey Mackay is CEO of the Mackay Envelope Company.
In a newspaper article Mackay quoted a quiz developed
by Charles Schulz, the renowned cartoonist. Schulz
believed the quiz puts life’s events in perspective. Here is
the quiz:
Name the five wealthiest people in the world name the
last three Heisman Trophy winners?
Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest?
Name the ten people who have won a Nobel or Pulitzer
Prize?
Name the last half-dozen Academy Award Winners for
best actor or actress?
How did you do?
Here’s the point: none of us remember the headliners
of yesterday. These are not second rate achievers. They
are the best in their fields, but the applause dies. Awards
tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates
are buried with their owners. Here’s another quiz.
See how you do on this one:
List a few teachers who aided and encouraged your
journey through school.
Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated
and special.
Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Was that easier? Sure. The lesson is that the people
who make a difference in your life are not the ones with
most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.
They are the ones who care and people love us not for
who we are but for how we make them feel. People
appreciate recognition, people appreciate praise and people
appreciate hearing their name.
How’s that?
batch capturing
while i was doing my assignment, there was this question that required us to develop one good topic for an interview. it brought back the memories of my last semester in my poly for my broadcast journalism, where we had to interview people for our news stories. i could remember the interviews i had, either with my friends (they had to cock up some bullshit so i could record it HAHAHA) or the relevant figureheads. i could remember the interview with the gardener and the mosquito bites, the PR personnel that i had to send 50 emails just to grab hold of their mere 5 minutes, all the smiling, and acting sweet and polite to strangers so i could make them talk to me, and all the shit i had to go through just to get a solid quote from a super long winded person.
bwaahahaha. all the memories.
and all that nostalgia’s flooding back. all the carrying of the 10 kg camera for my atv in the forest of lim chu kang and thronging through orchard road, the strong steady tripod that is too strong and steady, stoning while waiting for videos to render. all the “eh lets go and makan, come back our video still havent finish capture, SIAN” moments.
and while i was doing my newswriting assignment and attending my classes, i could vaguely remember what selvan said during j1 and j2, haha. this proves that i pay attention to lectures okay! it reminded me on how we always “pon” journalism lectures because we couldnt wake up for fridays 10am (goodness i could still remember!) or our stomachs are calling for self declared breaks, or when selvan had to resort to marking the attendance for our lectures. and how i could never understand a shit on what journalism was all about. hahaha.
okay enough of the recalling. some things are better not reminded. back to my assignment! sian haven’t start already don’t feel like doing already. *grumble grumble whine whine..*
right!
a few things in mind:
1. yes ah finally the cheng san concert over. can finally stop playing cello for awhile before november/december. time to clear my list of songs-to-play for my handsome! ah neh no more!
2. remind myself to sign up for grade 5 theory next month. must remind myself! if not sure forget.
3. should i go hk during 18th – 23rd sept? its my cousin’s joint wedding but im not sure if should go. =/
4. finish up my assignment. i need some inspiration to do my feature story article! what should i do, service journalism or profile? zomfg!
5. study for my exam, although i am feeling superrr duperrrr lazy!
6. my life like quite sad ah. i’ve got this huge list of to-do list (learning to drive ah.. etc etc) and its becoming longer. im not doing anything to make the list shorter. is there something wrong with me.
7. oh and i just drank the best teh tarik in the east of singapore (dont dare to say whole of singapore in case other parts got better ones). its in bedok blk 511 or 551 or somewhere-there-im-sure-you-know-where-im-talking. need to take bus 225 green plate from interchange one HAHA. the milk is creamy, its frothy and its simply oozing of natural tea smell. bagus! おいしいですね！
8. okay i better go rinse my mouth. my toothpaste is frothing too. HAHA
Married Life – Michael Giacchino
Hi little boys and girls, let me tell you a story.
One fine bright and sunny cheerful little Sunday morning. A boy by the name John found some seeds in his backyard. He went to plant them and they grew into seedlings. Every day, John tends to his plants carefully and watched them grow.
Day by day as the plants grew, John became attached to the plants and devoted his time to them. They soon became sturdy apple trees, blooming with luscious leaves. It bore fruit every few days, and John was very proud that his hard work paid off. He decided to share his fruit of labour with his neighbours, who were also farmers and gardeners as well. “These apples are so crunchy and sweet! I think my neighbours will love them as much as I do! ” He thought to himself happily as he picks the apples from the trees.
The next day, he carried a basket of ripe red apples to his each neighbour and shared with them. With every bite the farmers took, he waited with anticipation of their delighted faces. He watched and waited when everyone’s face remain expressionless for a moment, before sinking into disappointment when their faces cringed. Everyone told him that his apples were either too tasteless, not crunchy, nor sweet. He went home feeling bitter as not a single one of them offered a positive comment or some advice.
John felt defeated. There, just when he thought his hard work has finally paid off, no one is there to appreciate it, and even put-down on his fruit of labour. It was like a slap on his face. Every heavy step he took, his anger, frustration, with a tad of annoyance at his neighbours grew. The soup of revenge was slowly boiling, and on the very night, he went home not only with a heavy heart, but also with a heavy mind. John couldn’t take it any longer.
The next day, not a single farmer in the town was seen. Everyone thought they went on a strike, or disappeared, until when a passer-by saw that on John’s every single apple tree, there were heads of the farmers on where apples should have been. Their heads laid limply on the sides of the branches with their tongues dangling. Inside every farmer’s mouth, a bright red juicy apple was shoved. As the passer-by walked, she screamed in shock as John’s body swayed on the biggest apple tree, suspended by a rope, with his apples laid around his triumphant face.

Moral of the story? Think twice about insulting someone, or grow oranges instead.
Hmm I think I’m playing too much country story. Time to kick the habit.
UP!
I’ve recently watched UP, and I recommend that everyone should go and watch it!
School’s started! It’s not bad for a first day, I’ve made a nice friend! I’m learning what I’ve learnt in poly. gah.
Anyway, I’m still amazed that there’s people still reading my dusty cobweb infested blog. LOL.
GAH~ （ ´_ゝ`）
oh my.
I’ve been doing nothing for the past few weeks and I can feel the vines creeping up my legs on the swivel chair in front of the computer.
I’ve been doing nothing except watching dramas, playing games and bumming around. Okay pretty much of the drama-watching and sleep has taken up my lifestyle, so much that I’ve pretty much finish watching all the drama shows I’ve been wanting to watch. This is NO GOOD! だめですね！>.<~
so… I have decided to put up a list of things I have to do before my school starts (13th August, why 13th instead of the 11th I have no idea, but at least its not on a friday).
So here’s the (ぜんぜん無理）list of things I want to do!
1) Go out with everyone that I’ve been wanting to go out with.
2) Revise my japanese. (esp vocabulary and grammar!!!!!!)
3) Learn driving and attempt to pass the test!
4) Practice cello and improve on intonation
5) Cook! (I’ve tried ABC soup and chili kangkong so far, want to try old cucumber soup, braised tofu, and other alternatives other than my instant noodle diet lately （´・ω・｀）
6) Take up rollerblading as a form of exercise! (since I’m too lazy to run)7) STOP BUMMING AROUND!!! Maybe I should take up a part time job. hmm.
Hope I can get to accomplish this near-impossible list!
