Yesterday was a Sunday where we need not take care of my cousins. Yet, my mum thought of letting them over to stay for another night. Wanted to bring them over when we went to their side to buy dinner at around 3+pm. Luckily Michelle said she doesn't want to come.
At 9+pm, I was busy in a room helping my colleague with the ECG on a patient when I heard my dad's voice and my cousins' voices. I was not bothered by my cousins at that point as I was worried about my mum. She kanna UTI again. Yes. She is unwell and yet still think of my cousins. She went to see the doctor in the morning so I was worried she was not well again. Luckily it's not because of her. It's because of her again though.
My dad forgot that we had called my cousins and do not wanted to come to stay. But he only remember what my mum told him before. To call them and asked if they wanted to come after he had visited his colleague in the hospital. He called them and this time, they wanted to come. Thus, that is why they were here.
Why I said that it was because of my mum that they went to the clinic. Once they reached, my mum asked my dad to bring them to the clinic to find me. (-.-)''' So my dad do so and he left them in the clinic.
Yesterday, I had a sleepy spell over me and was in a blur mood plus my cousins was there. At that time, my colleague's dad came to tell her that he is waiting behind but she is still doing ECG. I saw that uncle and gave him an 'OK' sign meaning I would tell her. As I wanted to go, the doctor passed the patient's card out and I was there so I had to key in the medications, etc. I forgot about my colleague's dad. I only remembered only after I reached home and I quickly sms her but she had already took the bus. Oh dear!
This morning, I was awoken many times not because of my cousins but my mum. Today, we were supposed to go and collect our renewed passport. Yet because of my cousins and she wanted to go to my aunt's place to clean, she told me that we go on this Thursday. Yet, early this morning, she came in to pass me the passports. Can you imagine that and keep asking me where I wanted to put. Nevermind that. She told me she is going out like hundredth of times. Well, not that much but still many times. The very last time made me mad. She said she is going out and I simply ignored her and she keep calling me to I had to say 'OK LAH'. I guessed she just wanted me to wake up so had been trying all sort of means to make me get up.
Always been like this the whole holiday. I need a break lah! This is the 3rd times, I had been left home with the 3 kids as she went off to my aunt's place. 1st time, no gas so I had to bring all of them out for lunch. 2nd & nw, I had to cook for them. I am not a baby-sitter loh and I haven't been practicing my piano for ages.
Last Friday, because my parents heard the news on Thursday evening about GST package that many people did not apply and would not be able to get $, etc. My mum woke me up early that morning again. Asking me to go to CPF board with her. Also to check for myself. She even asked my grandma and godma along. She was grumbling that morning as Nelson did not take his EZ-linked card from his parents the night before when he insisted to come with us. I was pretty fed up then. After queuing, we finally checked and found that we had already apply and had already gotten it once this year. (-.-)'''
I admit I was jumpy that day as it was the day my results would be out. I was so worried and wanted to check if I clear all modules yet I am being dragged out. Even went IMM as my godma wanted to return the suit that they borrowed back to the bridal shop. After checking, I did clear all modules but not good. Was upset but what can I do? I am worried that at the rate that I am going now. I may be getting such results of worst the following semester.
I NEED TIME TO REVISE AND RECAP. I NEED TIME T PRACTICE MY PIANO. SCHOOL IS STARTING ON 7TH JANUARY! WHY CAN'T MY PARENTS ALLOW ME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO? WHY THEY ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT?
No wonder I preferred to be working. At least, I won't be a baby-sitter, or keep helping to bring the kids here and there, or to entertain my mum, and be so shag with so many undone things.
My cousins even wanted to come to stay during their March holiday which I insisted 'NO'. I gave reasons like when I had my 1 week break, they are studying and vice versa. Plus, my exam start in mid April. So they can't stay as they would distract me. My mum had no choice but during their June holiday... I shan't think about that.

My fish passed away
This morning, was awoken up by my mum as usual. This time, it was due to my fish. It passed away. It was being push around in the water by the air pump. It was fine yesterday. I even fed it. It also ate. Guess it died of old age as I had it for years. I was sad. Very sad. It had been with me for very long time.
It had escape death before. Maybe this sentence is too strong. Well, there was once during school holidays, kids around the neighbourhood would come and fish. They brought nets (be it toy nets or normal nets) and stole fishes that were kept outside around the corridor. So I believed that if it was caught, it won't be able to survive.
It also had went to many places. That time, when my mum bought the fish, it had friends. She kept in the house but soon she brought it outside to keep with the other guppies, etc. But due to the fact that kids came to steal fishes, we were worried that if we do not know that there aren't fishes around as the tank was full of algae, mosquitoes might breed.
When we try to catch all the fishes in the tank, we only found 2 fishes. Only 2 angle fishes left. So I decided to bring them to keep in my office table as my living room had no space for them. Bought a smaller fish tank and a pump and some pretty stones and set them on my table. Then brought the fishes from home in a round microwave container. Brought them there via my staff bus. Soon the smaller fish died as this bigger fish bully it.
It had stayed with me for like 2 years or so at work. It kept me accompanied there when I was lonely. Sometimes, I even just lie my head on the desk and looked at it swim. I would worried if there will be electric power interruption but luckily it never happened till the very last few days or weeks of my work before I left. I would worried if I found that there is no air coming out of the pump and try all means to fix it so that the fish would have air to breathe.
Anyway, years later, this year, I had to resign as I gotten into a University. Thus, I had to bring it back. This time, my dad drove us home. As we had thrown away all the big fish tanks containing Arowana, there were space for it to be kept in the living room. It had been home since August.
My mum and grandma also likes the fish very much. When people walk past, it would swim to the front as if to welcome them by moving around and moving it's tail (but of course in actual fact, it wanted food). It ate pretty loudly with 'pop' 'pop' sound as it tried to suck the food into its mouth. They always joked and said I had brought my fish to study in a University and it had been taught to 'dance' and welcome people and be so 'tan chi' (greedy). And it had graduated so it came home.
It had been with us for years thus, its a great lost for us. And to remember it, I took photos of it before I discarded it. Its body was still soft when I moved it around the container so I guessed it just passed away. I was hoping that it would breathe somehow but I know it was impossible.
It was pretty big so I am unsure if it can be flushed off. So I wanted to put in a container with some water for it before discarding it. I know it was silly of me. It was already dead. Why put water. But it was a fish so I wanted it to be in water too even if it was dead. As the container do not have a cap, So I poured it into a clear plastic bag before I discard it. I just hope that wherever it will be now, it will be happy.
Just to type this causing me to think back and now I am even more upset. I'll miss it!

Godmother's ROM and Dinner
My godmother had her ROM today and Dinner too. I was asked to be her photographer. Had been wondering how as I had a digital camera which was bought 7 years ago in year 2k. It was only 3.2 mega pixels which my camera phone is having the same resolution. Well, I just do my best. I asked Michelle to get camera from her mother in case I can't get good images, maybe she could.
Everything was smooth at the ROM and I got a red packet from my godma. A $120 red packet same as my mum and grandma as they were the witnesses for them. The rest of the relatives who attended got a $20 red packet.

Soon we left. My dad went to Holland Road to go to a clinic which his siblings recommended for his arm's ache. It was a clinic that was there long time ago and the doctor was pretty old. I was also wondering if I should see for my leg problem. It had not been right. Well, I may seemed be walking normally but sometimes I do feel something is not right esp when I had to run for example to catch the bus. In the end, before I said anything, my dad had already walked off.
The doctor said he injured his ligament. 'Ligament'? Isn't that the same problem for my leg? The doctor told my dad that he must treat it if not it would worsen. And he said that there is no point going to a Chinese physician for 'tui na', etc. Oh dear! I had been going. What should I do? My dad was asked to go back for another consultation. Maybe I should go with him the next time he go if he is going on a weekend.
Anyway, after that, he drove my grandma home and drove me to my ex-workplace where I passed them some 'dou sa bing' that I bought in Malaysia then we went home where I upload the photos.
I was in a hurry and I forgot to bring my cousin's camera. A very bad moves. It was fine at first till my san yi yi and her family came. I was really irritated by that san yi zhang. He came around the table and sat at my tables to chat which was alright. While Michelle and I was munching peanuts especially when I had to take photos when needed and I was hungry, he said that eating peanuts is good. So far so good right. What he said next was gross... He said that the peanuts won't be digested and would come out in faeces while Michelle is still munching.
I was also irritated by him as he kept saying and saying that I am not professional. A professional won't say '1, 2, and 3' before snapping photos. Well, of course I am not a Professional. I am just doing my godmother a favour. He kept thinking that he was the main actor. Wanted to take photos here and there, Wanting to see his photos everytime his pictures was taken and Complaining everytime that my camera's viewing screen was so small, Saying a professional won't take a photo at a tilted angles, etc etc. I was so pissed off that I told him that my camera was bought 7 years ago and that why not he sponsor me with a good camera. I tilted the angles to take nicer photos without the extra stuffs that would be present when taken at normal landscape or portrait. I took at an angles also because my camera is unable to capture all presence. If he is so professional, he could take over my job! He commented that his son's camera's viewing screen was much bigger so why didn't he bring?
He wanted to take a photo of his family. My aunt was in red. His 2 sons too. The other son was in white and he too was in similar color. His sons was sitting down. 2 of them in red are together. My aunt was behind them. After the photos was taken, he said it's not nice. He wanted to swap with my aunt and then he complaint that he looked larger. (-.-)'''
At the end of the dinner, we took a family photos. Again, he said he wanted to see. To see if it's nice. and again complained about the screen. ARGH!!!!!!

After the dinner and photo taking, we were going home and that two cousins are now sleeping in my room again! Can't even do what I wanted to do in that room. So lost of freedom plus responsibility to look after them.

Malaysia Trip
Didn't start off the day well. Woke up late (my parents too). So we were rushing. Plus, my parents asked my cousins over (the two elder ones) as they were worried that my aunt can't cope. So we were very rush.
At the LRT station, my dad realized that he had lost his EZ-Link card after all of us had enter the station. He did not know where he lost it. My mum got jumpy again and eventually used her extra card for my dad to enter. Yet, she was still unhappy about it and even though we had reach level 2 of the station, she did not left the lift and went back down to search for the card. While waiting at the platform, my dad decided to go down too so I was left with my two cousins. What happened had dampened my mood for the day.
There had been other things that happened mainly due to my parents esp my mum being jumpy that I even had the thought of not going for the trip. It happened even in Malaysia. (-.-)'''
Well, at the Desaru Fruit Farm, Michelle wanted to snap her own photos yet her mum and my mum insist that she listened to what the tour guide had to say and there were lots of unhappiness here and there. I'll keep hearing, 'COME HERE! LISTEN', 'WAIT FIRST...!', etc etc. I had to 'siam' as far as I can and keep myself busy and away from that group so that I can't hear all that.
After we left the fruit farm, we went to the Tanjung Balau Fishermen's Village. In the museum, we weren't allow to take photos but we were allowed time to take photos at the beach outside. The sea was the South China Sea and was on low tide.
Junting and Michelle drew on the grey sand, 'Gu zhang pa pa, Happy birthday' and a cake as the day before was my dad's Lunar birthday. How sweet of them and of course I snap photos.
After that, we went to places where they sell stuffs like 'ma ti su', etc. As I didn't bring even $, I had to restrict myself as I also need to source for x'mas pressies for my cousins (Father's side) as there was a gathering on x'mas day.
We were also brought to another place where we were told that they sell nice 'ji dan bing'. I did not buy again as I am short of cash. There was a Herb garden where I snap some photos. All the herbs had a label tag in chinese with its name and functions. While snapping photos, saw a huge creature passing by when I wanted to walk over. It made me jumped! The kids had their fun in the bus taking photos too.
Then we were off for dinner. We were early so we were allowed to walk around the area but there is nothing there so we went early to the restaurant.
And we were off to watch Fireflies after dinner. It was my 1st time. My mum got me a bag at that area while we wait awhile for the sky to darken.

Anyway, the fruit farm not only got fruit trees but also had a few bunny houses, monkeys, an ostrichs corner, a bee aviary, a Koi fishpond, a goat barn, 2 monkeys and many chickens. We took too many photos (382 photos to be exact) so I shan't upload.
Well, I had a long day the day before so in the bus, I had a hard time trying to keep awake. Junting, another cousin, even had to push my head back as my head was dropping outside the seat. Most of the time in the bus journey, most of us was asleep.

And we were off to watch Fireflies after dinner. It was my 1st time. My mum got me a bag at that area while we wait awhile for the sky to darken.
Each of us then get a life jacket and then we board the boat. We found ourselves seats in front and we snap some photos again.
When we saw the fireflies in a distant, it was shimmering like a x'mas deco on a x'mas tree, it was shimmering like the stars in the sky. It was very pretty. But it was a pity that it was too small to be capture by camera (I am unsure if any professional kind of camera are capable of snap such shot). I love the shimmering stars in the sky. So I was so in love with the sight as it was very pretty. At that moment, I forgot about what happened especially in the morning. Together with my relatives, we caught 4 fireflies and put them in a container. We can't bring them home which I hope I could but I won't as their habitat would be different. So after looking at it up closed once they went back to shore and attempting to snap a few shots but the pictures weren't clear, we released them before boarding the bus home.
On the journey home, there were traffic jam. And we reached home at 11+pm when we left home at about 6am. And we (my dad; my cousin, JT; my cousin, Michelle and her mum and me) took a total of 667 photos.

The two cousins followed me home again. I was so sian as I would have to look after them at night when I was so tired. They had been staying at my house for the past 2 weeks till now. (-.-)''' I badly need a break, a rest. School is starting! (T.T) (*.*)

Dogs
This dog was called Samuel and is going to be 3 years old soon
These 2 dogs were held by a couple
Giant breed and normal breed
Dog looks much fiercer than the ownerXmas with Your Dogs Event at Kembangan
This morning (aiya, yesterday le lah. Time had past 12am again. Why I always blog at this time?), went for the event at Kembangan. Met my friend as she called. While waiting for her at Jurong East MRT station, saw my Uncle and Aunt (Mum's eldest brother and his wife). My friend was late and so both of us were late.
As my leg wasn't quite right, while walking to the park, quite a walk (10 minutes?), I felt slight pain again. I brought my pain killer (the stronger kind) so I pop 2 in. I had no choice le as I am supposed to be dancing with 7 other girls. I did not strain myself there. Didn't warm up properly especially when comes to the leg exercises. Had marked through and we realized the stage is very hollow.' After which, we (LV and I) found out that they were just tables placed together and we decided not to let the others know.
I managed to get through the dance, not perfect but I can say I did my best. I gave my best shot and had thrown my worries about my leg away. After the dance, we watched the obedience show put up by a few of the dogs that were retired from the competition. There were also competition on which dogs will finish the food the fastest.
Before these competition, I had been going around with my camera phone, snapping photos here and there. Some of the dogs are in X'mas outfit. So adorable.
After all these photo taking, we were gathered back. Had a short warm-up session lead by ah Na and even another dance for our own group but I did not do especially those that need leg movement caused after the performance, after all the walking around and bending down to snap photos, my leg hurt again.
We had a game after that. Actually, should be 2 types of games. We were split into 4 groups each with a group of 6 girls.
1. Draw an object named on a drawing block with a marker without using our hands. We were given 6 strings. We had to tie our string to the marker and hold the other end of the string and used the marker to draw. 1st we were told to draw a circle which we didn't quite draw well. Very challenging. 2nd, a 5 edges star which we did pretty well. 3rd, a flower with 5 pedals. 4th, write the word 'Sunflower'. And the winner is my group. Yeah!
2. Each group send a representative. My group used scissors, paper, stone to decide who go out and I lost so I went out. We were told to face our group members whom would be shown a simple picture where they will describe to us and we would have to draw base on what info we got. It was so noisy that it was so difficult to figure out what my groups were saying. And I started to lag. At 1st I panick a bit but in the end, I keep asking for details like are the trees closed by sticking to each other, like are the 6 stones of the stone path from the door of the house all in a line or are they in twos, like where are the sun, where is the kite, how is the ribbon on the kite like, etc. I kept asking till a friend from the other group asked why I asked so many question. Why need to be so detailed? In the end, my picture was the most closest to the original artwork. LOL!
At the end of the games, we were asked for the moral of the games. Well, for the 1st game, most conclude that teamwork are important and each individual plays an important and yet different role. For the 2nd game, communication was the conclusion. We were asked for more and out of a sudden, I blurt out 'asking questions'. It became clear to me at that instance due to the game that I realized that when I am unclear, I must asked like I did in the game and used that at Sunflower or at school. Ah Kheng then told all of us that we must also take in mind all the details around us.
After the game, we had our makan! Our ex-chief maded us each a bowl of the Japanese cold noodle in the sauce which is very nice. There were otah, Old Chang Kee's Curry puffs, sandwiches, salad, fried bee hoon, drinks, and even ice creams.
Even though it was tiring, but I did enjoyed myself there.

Friend's Wedding
Today was my friend's wedding (should be consider as yesterday even though it ended minutes ago).
She was a friend whom had been my Poly coursemate cum my ex-colleague. Since I left the workplace for studies, she had been helping me. And these ex-colleagues aka friends never forget about me which is something I am very grateful about. Thus, whenever possible, I would be going to have lunch with them, to meet up with them, etc.
Well, Cecilia had also worried for my pocket & thus, decided to invite me to her Church Wedding in the morning only. As there was last minute vacancy, she asked if I could go for the dinner too. She keep telling me that I need not gave a big Ang Bao. LOL!
Anyway, as I had said, I managed to get someone to replace me for my part time work shift this evening so that I could go for the dinner.
This morning, met 3 other friends to go to the Church Wedding Ceremony. Met 2 of them at Lakeside MRT station and the other outside the Church.
Evening, met 6 friends at Tiong Bahru MRT station. We took 2 cabs from there to the restaurant. Actually, should have taken the 2nd cab which MH, YL and I took as it was a 7 seaters.
As usual, YL brought his camera along so he became the photographer for our group. Well, the rest of us did take photos but our camera not as pro as YL. Thus, I won't be uploading any photos here.
At the dinner, I had my 1st sip on the red wine. Shared it with WY as I am not confident that I would like the taste. I never drank before except a few years ago with my poly friends. That time also shared with a friend. Anyway, it's drinkable but still I am not used to the taste.
SN suggested to mix drink and get the couple to drink. YL became the 'bang xiong'. He ordered 2 red wine and a beer. He wanted to order another drink but they don't have. YL mixed the 2 drinks together. When the couple came, Cecilia was sharped enough to detect something was not right especially when MH took away their glasses of red wine. CT was so sporting that without much persuading, he took the glass of mixed drink. Both the couple really drank after our pretty loud 'Yum Seng' when 70% of our table were girls (maybe I should say lady).
After that, I took a sip to taste the mixed drink. Was almost like the red wine. Maybe just a little more diluted. Anyway, the couple were spared as SN actually wanted to add vinegar too and even chilli sauce. Oops!
After the dinner, we were the last group to leave. We stayed a little while to snap a few photos. They even made the couple kiss. Long kiss and made CT carried his princess. I got these on my HP as I took video of it. LOL.

I just looked back at my very old old blog from another place and realized that the last time I taste an alcoholic drink was 4 years ago on Christmas day and I do not like the taste and do not wished to try again. This time, was I wanted to try the taste. (-.-)''' Anyway, I would not drink as I am still not used to the taste. Taking a sip to taste maybe but not drink ba.
Enough for now. I had to go to bed. Need to wake up super early later as I had to get ready and reach Kebangan MRT by 8.15am. Got to put slight make-up and tie up my hair as there is a performance there.
I hope my ligament problem would go off by the time I woke up. Even though it not that serious, it came back on Tuesday afternoon. When I walk too much, the sharp pain would come back. Actually it makes me really wonder. Wonder if I should really continue the dance thingy. I do feel my leg not like before. I do not dare to stretch it, I am afraid I would strain it, etc. I can't cross my right leg over my left leg and bend it so much even when it was alright. *Sigh* Anyway, I'll pray and chant that I would be able to clear at least the performance for tomorrow. Will decide then ba.

3 Weird Guys
On Tuesday, went back to school. To get wedding invitation card from a friend and had lunch with them. Also did my modules registration for the next coming semester. It was pretty blur for 1st timer. Called my friend to confirm what they choose and to 'troubleshoot'. Took much longer than expected but it was over. Hope we could get into what we wanted together and I hope to be able to get 3 electives this semester. Anyway, that is not what I wanted to blog about.
As I took much longer than expected, I was kind of late. As I had promised my mum that we would go for dinner together at Lot One as my cousins want to watch the performance at 7pm. Thus, I decided to take a cab home but there is no cab around in school. Thus, I took the bus out to the interchange then wait for a cab along the road.
The uncle asked why I was waiting there. And he keep chatting with me, etc. He said he also told his son to work before going to University. He said that it will help to know how the work life is like, etc.
I don't know why. He said that he wanted to advice me something. He said he taught his 3 daughters that they could go out and date with guys since they were like in 15 or 16 years old. He said they do not need to put in their feeling. Just go out and see the world and that each guys if very different. He keep talking and talking and said that even if break up, also need not be upset just because of a guy.
He said that when his kids were still young, no matter how tired he is after work, he would play with his kids. The more he said, the 'weirder' it get. He said that some fathers won't play with their kids especially daughter so when the daughter slowly grow up, will be distant from the father and when the daughter by accident (somehow) hugged the father or something like that, the father will feel weird, tense, paiseh, etc due to the daughter's breast. (-.-)''' He said that his 3 daughters had been married and even they got home, they would hug him for at least a few minutes (sound exaggerating to me). He said that it's normal.
He even said that he taught his daughters that even though they were married, they need not worry so much about their husbands. He taught them to said that their husband can go outside and play. But in a night, the husband can at most 'play' with 3 girls as they need to use strength but for the girls, they need not use strength so they could 'play' with more guys. (-.-)''' Luckily I reached my destination. I do not want to listen somemore.
This uncle was also not concentration when he was driving. I told him to drive straight after turning right after exiting from the expressway. He keep wanting to turn left. After I paid him, he asked if I want some 'ang ku kueh' which he bought from somewhere famous. He even said he was knocking off. (-.-)'''
On Wednesday, on my way to Tampines for my dance training, in the crowded MRT, there is an uncle who squeeze in. As it was very cramp, there is nothing for him to hold to balance himself. I was standing at the side of the door. He placed his hand just beside my shoulder and his arm was pretty near where it shouldn't be. As I was already crossing my arms, I had to shift it higher to block myself.
On the journey home with my friends, a friend was talking about her company function and that her group had to dance and that while dancing her tube dress slight lower and lower (not to the extend of revealing what it shouldn't. But my friend was so shocked but managed to pull up when she had the chance. We were chatting in half chinese and half english and the uncle who sat beside her kept looking at us.
My friend also realized that there is a guy with his friend who seemed to be taking photos with his camera phone. The phone screen was reflected in the window behind the guy which is why my friend saw but we do not know what the guy is taking as there were a few other people sitting at our row of seats (females too). So just within 2 days, met 3 weird guys.

Going school
At 1st, I was planning to go to school today. I thought I can't view the past year exam papers at home. So I thought of going to school today. Nothing really special why I decided to go today. It's just that today is the 1st weekday of the month and I had to pay my bus fee as I wanted to continue to take the staff bus. Since I need to go to school, thus, I decided to go today. As I would spend some time looking at the past year papers, I could have lunch with my friends cum ex-colleagues.
At my 2nd last paper, my friend told me that we could download the past years papers at home too. I tried after my final paper and it is true. So I do not need to go to school. If I go just for the bus fee, I had to stone till lunch time or I would leave school once I reach. That is crazy. Thus, I decided to go another day to meet my friends for lunch. Sorry girls! We'll meet another time for lunch ok!

We'll meet another time for lunch ok!
Few days ago, a friend asked if I could attend her wedding dinner also other than her Church wedding ceremony as there is still vacancy. She told me that her purpose is not for the sake of the red packet.
Previously, she asked me to her Church wedding ceremony worrying that I might burn my pocket. As there is vacancy, she asked me if I am free. Well, thanks Girl for thinking for my pocket. Don't worry so much ok! Just enjoy your big BIG day!
I am suppose to be working. I am working every Saturday and Sunday. Previously, I thought it should be ok. But then I stated to doubt if I am pushing myself too much. This is because, I simply had no rest. Had to 'chiong' especially during semester time which is quite tiring. Before exam, I had thought of what I wanted to do, yet now, I still had no mood to really do what I want especially to practice my piano.
I had made a budget plan on the estimated expenditure for my 4 years of studies. I plan more just in case and I am short of about $150 per month. For this few months, I had spend like a quarter to a third less than what I planned which is a good thing. Thus, most likely, I would not work for full 4 years. Maybe worked till end of year 2. Because of work, I had to give up certain things like the extra hours to rest, to study, to meet my friends, to stay with my family, and etc. It won't be easy for this 2 years but I had to hang on. I must also continue to spend as less as possible (on myself) so that I can quit the work and focus on my final 2 years of studies.
Well, due to work and my friend's wedding dinner is on a Saturday, I could not confirm as I had to find someone to replace me. Something pretty hard as I only know a few people. Sms a colleague (L) whom I never seen before but she had a Christmas dinner to attend. Sms another colleague (KY) and yet till now she never reply. Ask another colleague (Auntie S) whom I know yet she don't want Saturday. I really could not be so thick skinned to ask other colleagues whom I do not know. Thus, I asked another ex-colleague (J) whom I know but she could not make it. Well, as I was hoping to take a break from work, etc, I was hoping I could go for the dinner. I asked another ex-colleague (YJ) (my last attempt) and her reply was 'Should be ok' and I confirmed with her again and she said that it's alright as she does not have attachment that week. Thanks YJ!
Well, on 23rd December (Sunday), I am going for a day trip to Desaru. Thus, I won't be able to make it to work that evening. I also had been wondering what to do. Had asked a new colleague (AL) who worked on Friday and Saturday to swap with her for her Friday slot. We mutually agreed that if we are not free on Friday (for AL) and on Sunday (for me), we could swap with each other whenever possible. She said she need to check her exam timetable. Yet on Saturday, when I asked her, she could not confirm yet. According to another colleague (JW), only on 1 December then AL told JW that she could not help JW on 2 December. I do not wish that to happen to me so I asked Auntie S. Luckily she only work 2 of the Sunday of this month and they are on starting of the month and end of the month. Somemore, when my dad drove me home, my dad would also drive her back aftere I asked my dad as we stayed pretty nearby. So I guess that help when I asked if she could help me with my slot.
Thus, both days were suppose to be settled. No. I must be convicted that both days were settled. ;p Hee!

Broken glasses
This is the piece of glass that had been broken and the shaded area are those I found under my TV cabinet. I'm so glad I don't have to face her anymore! It's better for all of us including her I guess.

Broken glasses
This 2 pieces of broken glasses are found under the TV cabinet in my bedroom. I only saw it yesterday and so it had been there since Tuesday.
On Tuesday, she volunteered to clean my room and I allow her. She broke a small piece of glass soon after and after a while, she came out and told me about it. I was in the living room and stayed there even after I heard the glass dropped on the floor. Was wondering if she would admit or denied. Well, she did so I just told her to throw away.
Yesterday, when I wanted to throw some rubbish in the bin that was in my room, I saw the broken glass there. I was pretty mad about this as this is a safety issue. My cousins do use my rubbish bin. What if they got cut? Anyway, nothing of such happened.
Since the broken glasses are still around, I decided to piece them up to draw the shape of the glass so that I can find and cut a piece of cardboard to replace the broken glass and found that there is at least a piece missing. Thus, I went to look under the TV cabinet and saw 2 pieces there which matches the missing portion.
I snapped the photo and send to my aunt since she is sending her back today. Can show the agency all these proof that we gathered.
If you said she slow, she stupid, I think she is just acting. Imagine today, my aunt wanted to bring her back. No one told her that she is going back to the agency. My aunt just told her that she is going out. Asked her to change. And they took bus to the agency.
She does recognise the place and even before reaching the bus stop, she already stood up when my aunt was still sitting down and didn't say anything. Maybe her previous employer did the same thing too.
Anyway, I am glad she is gone. Even the 2 elder cousins were happy that she is gone. LOL!

BS104 Biochemistry I - Biomolecules (26 November 2007 - 1 to 3.30pm)
today was already 17 November. thus, i had cleared 2 papers. that would mean that i am halfway through. yet i'm pretty much drained. especially after my 1st paper. it was a killer paper.
on my way to school for my 1st paper, i suddenly had a terrible headache in the bus. s i was like unwell the week before (had infected right tonsil with 2 white spots), i had my medication (of course without antibiotic as i had finished it and my tonsil was ok already) with me. i pop a panadol (didn't want to take too many then), yet the headache did not go away even till before i went into the exam hall. but i guess after being stunned by the 1st question, i totally don't have the extra time or energy to bother about my headache. i'm already dead at the 1st question. omg!
i had looked through the past year paper which i thought those were easier. i should have heel my friend's advice who went for the last lecture on another day. the lecturer told them to pass messages to tell all students to try not to look at the past year papers as the textbook used are different so the syllabus are different. i went to look through and found that those papers were similar to the tutorials. some tutorial questions were even from the past year papers.
somemore that paper ended so late. thus was super drained and yet had to struggle for the next paper which was the following day.
guess i was too straining on myself. on the day of the 2nd paper, i only took brunch due to the time i had to go to school. on my way to school, i still did last minute mugging in the bus. Guess what. this time i think i kanna motion sickness. after a short while of travelling, i felt bad again. heavy head like feeling giddy, naustic feeling, etc. anyway, it might not be motion sickness. after dinner the night before, i kind of not feeling quite well. i keep burping with the taste of dinner that i ate even till the time i went to bed and fallen asleep. upon reaching the final bus-stop, i was drained again with low energy and feeling awful. i went to the supermarket to grab sweets in case i had low sugar content as i still had the giddy spell. I found a place to sit & rest & drank water slowly & ate the sweet and slowly recovered from the problem. yet after the exam and on the journey home, the problem came back so i guess most likely was the motion sickness problem after all the straining plus feeling hungry.
anyway, after the 2nd paper on thursday, i totally cant study at all for the 3rd paper. even today (yesterday) as it is 12.41 am already now. i don't have the mood to mug. somemore, my mum asked me to go lot1 with her to help my cousin choose storybook as my grandma gave her $10 as she was 3rd in her class. and even after getting home, with my cousin around, it was hard to study. damn... tomorrow (today) also no time to study as i had piano lesson in the afternoon and had to work in the evening. i only got sunday morning and afternoon as i already planned to skip my dance training. but i had to work in the evening too. argh... i need more time!!!
i need to hang in there. i hope i can have the energy to hang on till the end before i collapse. i'm already drained to the extend that i am drunk with tireness again. i keep falling asleep while studying. i cant get my butt out of the bed in the morning. i cant seemed to get my eyes to open. i MUST hang in there till my last paper end. 'JESS, U'RE HALFWAY THROUGH! HANG ON!!!' sorry ah!!! i am just tryin to motivate myself'
think d 1st thing i'll do after my final paper is to sleep & sleep & sleep...

saw this email when i log in.
To the lady,
Yesterday I forgot to ask your name and lab, could you send the rotor back to XXXX? We need to use it urgently. Thanks.
Best wishes
XXXX
what was written seemed ok. but this research fellow is v funny. this email was send 2 all d people in the sch. it was send to academic staffs, adjunct staffs, research staffs, Ph. D and even d undergrads year 1 to 3. Why send to yr 1 to 3 undergrads? only yr 4 undergrads do attachment & fyp in the research labs ma. why wasn't the email send to the technical staffs?

1st Music Theory Exam (grade 5)
Just finished my Music Theory Exam. Felt so much relieved after the exam. It was a two hours paper but I finished in an hour including a check-through. Hopefully I do not missed any careless mistakes. Anyway, I believed I can pass the paper.
Spent only some of yesterday time to study and memorized all the Italian, French and German terms and the different signs. Actually, I did not managed to memorize all yesterday as I went to watch 'Getai' with my mum again. Yesterday was host by 'Liew Ling Ling'. .
I went out early today and reach there an hour earlier and stayed at the void deck of Blk 417 (beside Hong Kah Sec Sch) to do my last minute memorization work. Managed to memorize all (sort of with some minor mistakes here and there) after the memorization work in the bus journey and at the void deck by 9.30 am.
Anyway, after doing the past 3 years of past years papers, they only asked Italian Terms. So actually I thought of skipping the French and German terms. But last lesson, the other guy comment that too and our teacher said what if it came out this year or what if it did came out in the previous year which we did not do that past year paper. So I memorized. And today, German terms did came out. I'm glad I studied.
So I walked over into the school. While walking in, I tried to memorize the standard orchestra instruments.
Anyway, after the exam, it feel like a huge stone had been thrown out of my mind. 5 Exams to take this November and 1 is down. Yeah! Now, I must focus on the other 4 papers but only after I settle the two lab reports.

It's her again.
Pictures speak a thousand words. I no need to say anything. People with eyes can see. Time & date is stated on each photos. I purposely set it.
I also wish I can be so 'hao ming'. At that time I had just been drowned due to the Organic Chemistry Tutorial. I was asked to answer a tutorial question which the Prof said it's the basic and very simple YET I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER.

Didn't mean to blog. Didn't even plan to come online. Tomorrow got a quiz. Quiz for Principle of Economics. Only finished studying 4 chapters. Die liao la.
My dad brought his thumbdrive home as he could not open some files. It was because he bought a cheap thumbdrive that will auto-compress the files saved. So I had to help him settle the problem as he needs the files for his work. So that's why I am online instead of studying.
Yesterday stayed in school till 4pm due to the Organic Chemistry Quiz. Waited for 10 minutes yet the Prof and the other girl who missed the quiz were no where to be found. Went to find the co-ordinator for the rescheduling of the test but she was not at her desk. Was desperate. Didn't want to miss again due to quiz tomorrow and another next Thursday plus my Music Theory Grade 5 Exam.
Found the Prof's office number but he was not there. Called YL, ex-colleague who was taking the Organic Chemistry Practical at that moment to check if that Prof was there and he was. Went to look for him. He had forgotten. He said that co-ordinator should be in the classroom but I told him that she wasn't. He asked bout the other girl but I do not know her and she was MIA too. He was cracking his head trying to solve the problem. He asked if I wanted to do the test at that time but quickly changed to tell me to email that co-ordinator to reschedule again. *Fainted*
I waited since 10.30 am till 4.15 pm just to hear that the quiz will have to be rescheduled? I asked if I can do then and told him that I had another quiz on Wednesday. He was reluctant as the quiz will take an hour which means it would take 2 hours as the other girl is not around. But he eventually gave in. Asked me to wait at GO while he went back to his office. When he was down, he went to look for the co-ordinator. He still seemed reluctant and asked if I know who the other girl is. Anyway, he finally gave up and asked his student to stay in the classroom while I do my test. He did his own stuffs on his laptop with his back facing me. Only turned back to remind me that I only got 10 minutes left and turned back again when times is up.
After the quiz, I felt I had 1 burden gone but at the same time felt drained. No mood to do tutorials and no mood to study. But I managed to complete the tutorial that would be gone through today while waiting for the staff bus. After which, I did not bother with school stuffs and went to watch 'Getai' with my mum, neighbour, uncle and his wife, daughter and mother-in-law.
It was the 'Getai' which was in the Chinese Newspaper ('wan bao'). The biggest 'Getai' that attracted more than 10,000 people to watch on Sunday.
Yesterday was not a good day. The weather was bad. Keep raining but stopped once in a while. I brought 2 folding umbrellas and my mum brought 4 normal umbrellas and my uncle had another folding umbrella to last us through. Even my dad came to look for us and watch for a while. At slightly after 10 pm, it started to rain heavily so we left for home a short while after my dad left for home.
When I reach, I could not find my uncle and my neighbour. While searching for them, people started running as it started to rain. I took out my umbrella and continue to look for my uncle. As people went away, I managed to grab a seat in front in the second row. I 'booked' another seat for my mum. Quite a while after my mum came, she decided to move to the centre but people said that those seats were booked when nobody was around and there were so many empty seats. So we had to move back. There we found my uncle so we sat with them but the view would be blocked by unbrellas when it rained. Anyway, I managed to snap some shots when it wasn't raining and when there is nice lightings. The stage is big and grand. The lightings were very nice. The sound system was pretty good. And there were bubbles blown from the side of the stage too! WOW!
Look at the stage (not very clear as it was dark)

Look at the stage (not very clear as it was dark)
Look at the colourful rays of lights
Look at the bubbles, rays of lights. Oh ya. This lady sang a song related to rain and before she completed the song, it rained heavily at 10+ pm. Coincident or what? Not sure!
As for my Music Theory Lesson, I just have to hang in there till next week. Next week is my last lesson. Yeah!!! I also told my parents. This time got valid reason to tell them. The Grade 6 lessons will be held on Saturday and the time clashed with my piano lesson and my work. So they can't say anything.
Anyway, wished me luck for tomorrow quiz. I don't think I can study now and I don't think I should. I am drunked with drowiness again for the whole of today. Slept through the morning lecture. Hope I can get up early tomorrow to do last minute studying. Yes! It's studying not revising! I need to study another 6 chapters for tomorrow quiz!!! OMG!!!
