I... don't know what to say.

A primary school boy with his elder brother, a secondary school boy, boarded the bus. They were very loud and marched straight to the back of the bus. Suddenly, they started singing hokkien songs. HOKKIEN SONGS!!

O_o"

On another bus trip, I happened to sit beside a guy. He looks like he's 25++ years old. I sort of saw him holding on to some equipment. Judging from his looks, I thought it's a PDA. I was curious kpo so I peeped. He was playing Pokemon on Gameboy!!!

O_o"

I went to Guardian to buy my moisturiser. As usual, those promoters will promote all kinds of products even though you stated that you only want your moisturiser. So, she handed a bottle to me and said, "This! Very good! Can remove eyes and face!"

O_o"

No thanks. Perhaps I need to remove my makeup more than I need to remove my eyes and face.

A pretty lousy 偶像剧 idea.

Yesterday I had a long chat with Yujie. It was very very enjoyable because it felt real great to share my feelings. I mean, my feelings ah, are bottled up for too long a time already and I need somewhere to vent my emotions. :)

I saw a keychain at Minitoons which looks like this: Me: Hey, what is this for?
Yujie: For you to put the picture of the guy you like lor.
Me: Orh...


So it's supposed to work this way: I forgot who said what exactly but we suggested ways to put the pictures and...

"Why not put a picture of that special him and show it to him?"

"Hmm, why not purposely show but act as if you did it accidentally and say something like: Oh, you're not supposed to see this!"

For example, you can accidentally drop it on the ground when he happens to pass by and the thing will pop open, revealing his lovely face. And he'll be damn shock to see his picture in a heart-shaped keychain which belongs to you.

So you pounce on the keychain (note that you shouldn't pounce too quickly so that he can have a chance to pick it up before you do) and try to hide it from him. If he got it, you try to take but don't take it back. You must let him see it clearly and let him confirm that the guy in the picture is indeed him.

He'll be awkward and perhaps utter a long "huh..." So you should act innocent and say something along these lines: "No, I don't mean it to be that way. I.. You.. You are not supposed to see this!"

Now try to make your eyes tear a little (eyemo or poking your own eyes) and then look at him with super-痴情-I-love-you-but-don't-dare-to-love-you" look. You must make sure that he sees this! Then you will quickly turn away and run off in the another direction.

It would be good if your hair is soft because your soft hair will flip around as you run off. Don't run too fast okay. This will make sure that he can catch up with you. Even if the guy you like is very fit, you must also run slowly okay! And oh, I will let you decide if you want to leave the keychain with him or to snatch it from him.

The best thing to do is to leave it with him.

Why? Because he'll take it out from his pocket when he gets home at night. Then he'll reflect and recall about how nice you've been (well, if you're a bad girl then whatever you did above would be pretty useless), how supportive you've been, how sweet you've been. He'll then conclude that he is blind because he didn't notice such a nice girl who has all along stood around him waiting to be noticed.

The next day, he'll wait for you (below HDB flat or at the school entrance or whatever place la) and smile at you while you give him a blur-what-are-you-doing-here look.

Yujie, as I typed the above story, more ideas came out of my brain and muahahahahahaha.. Now it sounds so fluent and all. I think only girls will understand what I am saying above. Hoho!

People who haven't finish exams, 加油 okay!!

P/S: I did something good and bad yesterday. I feel so bad now.

Everybody jiayou!!

wei wei! dun say that! aiyoo.. i think ahh, u can find ur passion. it's jus tt it might take some time..

for me, i find inspiration in music and lyrics really like inspire me alot. an example would be dass du lebst by tom albrecht. rem tt day i told u wad the lyrics meant? it brought me thru my difficult days when i felt that i have no value in this world. even tho it took me a damn long time. :(

well well, i was looking thru some V6 videos and i found this line whh sounds so nice.

"without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine."

actually i seem to be quite sure of what i like and want in life but im still a lil not sure.. so haha.. zou yi bu suan yi bu loo... and hmm, dun get impatient.. jus look out for ur passion. haa. even if ur passion is not sth great. at least, its great to u and.. dun care abt grades.. jus do wad u want and like. that's wad my fren jus told me on friday when i was complaining abt smart ppl i met.

so JIAYOU!! we go out on a saturday k!! :)

hey dear gal..

i agree, passion more impt than grades. yeah it has to fit w reality, but i think u underestimate yrself *hugs*

being in a helping profession is more than just being able to score for an exam...what really matters is the compassion and the genuine desire to help, to make a difference, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant...and grades dont necessarily translate into those. in fact, they seldom do.

we need to go out and try (the practical aspect) before we can know what we really want to do with out life...not sure what she means by 'the days i felt i have no value in the world' but i felt like that last time too...in fact, sometimes i still feel like that...just that i dont show it. im actualy quite an insecure person ha. mayb tht's partly why i go into the sw field too. i also dont know...after this module i think im one of those adolescents who nevr fully resolved the identity vs identity crisis thing.

anyway so dont ever give up! dont measure your worth thru this. ure a great person :)

I can't say I have found my purpose and passion in life but at least I am looking for it. :)

V6 (Music Station) - Dasenai Tegami.

Woot! Found another V6 video. Love this song. :)

And oh, Junichi plays piano!

Update on Joan.

She sent me a PERSONAL email to show her sincerity in sharing with me, her eating experience in Germany.

And she included photos too.

What an attempt to sia2 me.

(Sorry, spelling error.)

By the way, I really appreciate your email. I am very happy to receive an email from you. At least I know you thought of me in Germany. Haa. Are you really going to cook for me when you come back? Don't say say only hor. I want real food!! Spargels plus Würste! :P

Some interesting findings from readings.

What's wrong with having adequate knowledge about something which is integral in human life?
Honestly, I really think it's important to know these stuff after attending SW3216.

"I don't like this A in sex education!"

And,

I like this:

Stereotype of "Storm and Stress" (a term coined by Stanley Hall) being challenged.

After reading Santrock, I got some names into my head at least.

Oops.I am guilty of being a student with a helpless orientation.

Alright. I shall go burn all my notes now!

The OH SO BORING post-examinations post..

Examination preparation was bad, very bad. There were moments when I was very inspired and of course, there were also moments when I was totally shagged and erm, day-dreamed. It was basically a period of madness for the past two weeks. And I've UNsuccessfully refrained from blogging. Haa, great. Now I'll see how I perform when I can't even finish my main readings. Great.

My first paper was PR2202, Perfumes and Cosmetics. I finished reading the Cosmetics lecture notes long time ago as I was very enthusiastic but I took a long time to finish up the Perfumes lecture notes because they were so boring. All those scientific stuff completely don't make sense to me. Heng I S/U-ed it!

SW2101 was bad too. I think I gave myself too much pressure or rather, being in both of Timothy Sim's classes was stressful. He is a very particular and critical person. And he sort of indirectly suan-ed me so, I have rather mixed feelings for him. On one hand, I respected him a lot for his vast knowledge and experience, but on the other, I felt rather inferior for asking him a question (which according to him) was redundant. Alright I guess it's okay. It's over and I shall pray that I get a B- at least!! No C!!

HY2247 was GREAT~! I spotted a question and was happy for the next few days after the paper. :D I had a great discussion with Lay Peng and Tiffany as well.

SW3216 was okay. I spent two whole days with Santrock and yet, I couldn't remember all those small little details for the MCQ questions. Honestly, I think it's okay because all the feedback I overheard heard was negative. My essay was not exactly brilliant but acceptable under the straining conditions then (with less than 45 minutes).

Now I am really looking forward to freedom, only one week of freedom though. My attachment starts on 8th May. I will try to (try only la) do some research on my agency and read up more about working with youths. I am definitely excited for it but I am really worried because I am not a wonderful SW student and my concepts are still not there. I definitely need all the brushing up. Boo.

I will try to heed Sharifah's advice. As long as I benefit and learn from my social work classes, I should be satisfied.

For my German, I am considering the idea of revising, going through some past year German projects done by my seniors and reading through the whole German-English Dictionary. Consider only la. :X

Then, in that precious free week, I would meet up with friends but I don't think too many because I would like to spend some time with myself and my family, bring my mum to Ricetable as planned months ago and of course, learn to cook a little. I always say this every semester but I don't learn properly every semester so my mum's pretty sick of hearing me saying, "I want to learn cooking lehhh.."

BUT,

one thing that I'll definitely do is to write a letter to the Sagemanns. I miss them!

That's Herr Sagemann, me, Frau Sagemann and Jialing.

I wonder how they're doing. I miss them so much! :'(

坚持到底！

I am so so so so so so TIRED!

I chiong-ed to school at 9am, grabbed Santrock, had a lunch break with Sharifah, grabbed Santrock again, renewed loan for Santrock, read Santrock, renewed loan for Santrock, ran around BF shelves to find some books (excuse to move around or else I'll rot in my seat), read Santrock, went for tea break, grabbed Santrock, read Santrock, renewed loan for Santrock, read Santrock all the way till 8pm.

*glance around*

There's only a girl left sitting behind me. I got myself a very terrible headache. Time to go home. :(

The bus took a long time to come. I sat at the terminal alone and thought about a lot of things. Travelling alone and at night is a rather calming or peaceful process for me. I tend to think a lot, about what I'd done for the day, what I want to do tomorrow and what I hope to do in the future. Glancing around, I saw some guys playing ball games at the court and recalled something which I shouldn't have. My brain seemed to be dancing around in my skull. I think it's just tired. I suddenly had the urge to do something but why don't I have the ability to do it anymore?

I need a good cry, a good hug and a good laugh.

Yesterday, Serene bought me this:

Been wanting to try it! Thanks girl! (Kit Kat) Kitto Katsu means sure win! So, I think I have an excuse to be happier?

Life.

Both me and Rebecca love this! :)

:D-ing all night long..

It was so cool to be able to see Joan via webcam!! :) She's doing fine, so that's good for her!

She is about to buy me my Radio Tom!!

And she cooked SPARGELS!!!!

Joan, paiseh ah, use your picture to show them how fat the Spargels are.

Spargels=Asparagus. In between May and June, there'll be juicy fat white Spargels all around Germany (I think so) and they taste real good (that is if you like vegetables) with butter, melting butter. Woooo.. A MUST EAT dish in Germany! Hmm, maybe I'll do a post on German food during the holidays. I realise my entries during my stay in Germany were like everywhere with very brief descriptions of pictures only. I am thinking of doing a special post of AJ life too. :D

Alright back to Santrock. Boo. I'll camp in school tomorrow from 8am to 8pm. Anyone wants to join me? :(

Just felt a little touched.

Mum forced us to eat dinner at 5.20pm!

Now, my brother's preparing to cook some mee and I grumbled that I am hungry~

TA-DA!!

:D

Woo-Hoo!

Tea session with Dr Timothy Sim! *scrambles like an aunty*

Nothing beats..

having an open book examination and being able to spot questions successfully!!

WOO-HOO!

I was practically copying out from the essay outline which I drew for my spotted topic of comparision between ancient and modern sports. The discussion I had with Lay Peng and Tiffany actually helped me to add more points to my outline! YES!!

I met Tiffany at 1pm and we went to PGP to meet Lay Peng, to discuss our ideas and queries and spotted examination questions. It feels so great! We discussed quite intensively, filled in gaps of knowledge (think I was the one who benefitted the most! :X) and had little breaks as well. I love discussions. They are brain-stimulating and well, it just simply feels great to be able to discuss stuff and learn about how other people view issues. But sadly, not everyone wants and is willing to discuss. Of course I know I can't force people to discuss questions with me but at least I hope they understand my rationale. Sigh.

Anyway, we stole Lay Peng's boyfriend's special M&M's. :)

Aren't the colours of these M&M's special?? I love the blue and the brown ones!

Tiffany, Lay Peng and Me! :)

I got to know Tiffany first from SW3216. Even though she's a year3 student, she's been very friendly, approachable and helpful. No offense but other year3 students either seem fierce or unapproachable or simply got that "Don't mess with me" or "I am a smart SW student" look. Yeah. She's nice~

I got to know Lay Peng during year1, semester1, from my South Asian group. She's straightforward, nice, helpful and not to mention, pretty as well! I can sense people drooling already. But anyway, I am glad that I met her again in this module!! She's brought quite a lot of fun and laughter to me.

If not for the two of them, HY2247 would seem shitty all the way from day 1 till the end, which is today. Thanks for taking this module with me (even though we didn't intentionally bidded for this module together) !

V6's Orange MV.

Note: Watch only if you're interested.

In this MV, you can see both the cool side and funny side of V6. I am not sure if you would enjoy but I sure enjoyed! :) And, look out for Junichi who's the beggar. Damn cute! One bad point about this video is that IT IS NOT THE WHOLE VIDEO! :(

P/S: I watched clips of the MV a few months ago and didn't expect to find it in YouTube! :D

YouTube is so cool!

There's always a time when a girl loves some boyband..

I used to like a lot of boybands. You name it, I like(d) it.

N' Sync,Backstreet Boys,

98 Degrees,

Westlife,

5566,

Kinki Kids,

and the list goes on...

But there's always this special one which I love so much...........

V6!!!

I love Junichi while Grace loves the skinny skinny guy (I don't even know his name). Do you still like them, Grace? While I support V6, Teng Guan would always say Arashi is the best and his Ayumi Hamasaki is the goddess of all goddesses. Anyway, I am still yaya about V6 but I couldn't explain why. They're just cute in a certain way. In a way, they're like 5566, they bring joy to me.

Watch the skit and perhaps, you'll get what I mean.

Damn hilarious skit: "Cinderella"

I shall post some 5566 clips which I took myself soon~!

Somebody please enlighten me..

Sigh.

Banned.

I see the former first.. Grrrr.. HOW CAN I?!?!?!

(from SW2101 Textbook)

Energized.

I had my PR2202 paper today. It assured me that my choice to be an arts student is correct. Serene suggested that we study in Central Library after the paper. I am glad I really did.

I was supposed to collect my SW2101 paper from Dr Timothy Sim but... Anyway, I saw the Teaching Excellence Award poster (but I think its not of the current year because we've just submitted our votes not long ago?) and I saw Herr Chan's picture! *beams* And on my way back to Library, I saw Herr Chan!!! :D I am so happpppyyyyyyyyyyy...

Oh, on my way up to Department of Social Work (Level 4 of AS6), I wondered why the Department of Psychology is on level 3 and ours is on level 4. The following sentence might be wrong but it's only my personal opinion. Perhaps, we, Social Work Majors have to go the extra mile, to reach out to those who need us. Hmm, seems like I'm inferring too much but think about it! Doesn't it sound a little true?

Just cleared a big big doubt of mine with the help of a friend. Thank you~ You know who you are!! :)

Still got 3 more papers to go. 加油!!

PLANETARIUM by Ai Otsuka.. HYD Ending Song.

I softly whispered a wish to a shooting star..

But I want to cry..

My thoughts won't reach up there, not to this sky..

I just found videos of HYD on YouTube!! Ahhh!! I am going to watch them ALL after my examinations. Actually I have a lot of things to do!! Firstly, I got to buy a new pair of spectacles, donate blood, and shop for some essential stuff and bahhh, can't wait for the stupid examinations to end! :D
