It's a busy busy week.
Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Yesterday is monday, and i got a big bomb. to finish the flash by tmr night. its urm.. stress. cos it's a big proj, and the mock up needs flash to be done.. which is..such a waste of time. but no choice, big projects needs big mock ups. it'd be really great if i can pitch that proj, but what are the chances? im slow in mockup, let alone FLASH mock up. oh well, wish me good luck peeps.

Have been really researching and researching, asking ard, the old the young the different generations about my choice of career path. its really bad, cos no conclusion. LOL. aiyah. anyway jul still doing her portfolio..i can take abit of my time. got chingling to get me some info from her school too. :)

tmr is brand new day! and my dead end. ah. tom is feeling bad at work too.. not our week mann..*hugs*

The kind of bride





You Will Be a Modern Bride!



While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding tradions, you want a wedding with a twist

You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines

Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...

Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalied vows, whatever suites you!!!

A happy ending.
Sunday, February 19, 2006

FOR THIS WEEK! heeeeeeee.

Had a unwind session with the apes yesterday. 5 of us went KTV at party world. didnt sing much and didnt hop around the room, the singing session was as great. cos we had the two stress-until-crazy apes - david and jul. they hosted their concert in the room. LOL. i think they're really too stress already. for me im more of frustration than stress -_-

yeah, even claurene went with us.. and sang a few songs.. i was only there for a while, cos had to go home to report. had quite a few lin JJ songs.. main motive is to hear his voice + see his cute face. HAHAHAAHAH.. muahahah. yup, it was a very nice night. UNWIND!

----
As for today, had a great day with tom at his place. NUA-ED. today is the relaxing unwind. woke up super early for piano lesson this morning. so im duper tired now. anyway, after nuaing with tom, i met my yt at city hall. as she's still having her piano lesson, i proceed to buy the box and card for xiuli's pressie. hee hee. then proceed to xiuli's chalet.. reached there quite late.. and she was cutting the cake already.. took photos and we sat down chit chat already..

took some food and me and yt sat down. and munch. had a talk with her mom too. anyway.. OT - Wow! xiuli's mom look/talk/walk/etc same as xiuli!! like how we ctrl c and ctrl v in photoshop. o_O *impressed*

anyway, after talking to xiuli's mom, i find us very lucky already.. though i still feel exploited, but not that bad already.. i guess there are more people out there kenna exploited! so we should be contented.

happy birthday to xiuli! :D

Disappointed with myself
Thursday, February 16, 2006

yup, dont know why, i failed my driving for the second time. dont bother to ask why, and how.. but i scored worse than my first attempt. oh well. what more do i have to say right.. im really disapopinted lah. from being excited to becoming to fear cars.. my next test will be 430 pm 3 months later.. super bad timing. if i fail again, prob not going to take again. :) money factor.

---
anyway, some updates on vday. Had a splendid night with tom at my place - cooking our pasta! hiak hiak. cooked for like 1 hour plus before we can sit down and enjoy our meal.. we under estimated the amount of pasta to cook, so.. hahha.. yeah. have to re-cook.

here's my presssssie!

sunflowers! *wide grin*


a pweety pretty clutch :D

---
ok im still very disapointed with my driving today. VERY. i cant describe how much, but VERRRYYyy . AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Give me back my school life. - is it worth it or not?
Monday, February 13, 2006

Mummy kept asking me this question - Is it worth it?

Is it worth it to re do a diploma? My answer is yes. If it doesnt turn out well, i know i've tried. it's a full 4 years. Huge commitment i'd say. im like plunging my future in my own hands. It's a die or earn job. Design field, isnt easy to survive after all :)

After discussing with my friends and family.. here's their views:

Mom - think properly, 4 years.. and in this field, you might not be able to make it big.

Dad - up to you, as long as you like it.

Tom - It is good that you want to pursue your dreams! go for it lah!

Yuan ting - Not advisable to decide so quickly, there's always time..cos its a change of field.. (i dont think she's discouraging, but rather, advising me.. )

collegues - quite neutral about it..

Shawn - you cant see the future can you? just do what you want, you can always change field again when you're old..

Yup, that's about it.. i've more or less decided where to go. :) jia youuuuu!

Give me back my campus life. :)

untitled.
Sunday, February 12, 2006

hiak. Untitled again. Recently has been searching for schools, doing research on courses, just like when we're going into poly! hahha.. but my aim is roughly there, my goal is roughly there.. so.. i'll probably be doing that course. What's troubling me will be which school to go. BOTH ARE TEMPTING!!! oh well.. sigh. undecisive again. this will matter cos it's all about the future! i dont wanna regret that, or rather, back track, i want to set it right now.

On the other hand, my YT advised me not to plunge in so quickly. its true.. i do think im abit rash about this, but i dont wanna waste time anymore.. or perhaps, i wanna go back study cos i dont want to work. *shrugs* i find myself cant survive in graphic design.. i want a change of field. maybe in the future i will go back to graphic design, but but.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH dont know lah.

But actually till now, only tom, my collegues, and yt are supportive of me going into this field. my family? nope they dont, not that they dont allow, but they're just afraid it's a dead end.

oh well oh well.. i still got a few weeks to think about it.

there's one period of time that these porcelain stuff are in trend, so my dad bought lots of these from china for us to paint. The reason for it becoming so ugly, is that we painted, and wash, and painted and wash and etc. HHAHA.

Things have changed
Sunday, February 05, 2006

in the family. Still as harmonious, but somehow it feels wierd. One reasons is cos we've moved house, just a few days ago. Everybody have their own rooms now.. therefore, lesser interation of course. Each of us have our own cosy private space, which is what we've always been yearning for. But now when i get it, i felt quite.. Hmm.. lonely? Felt quite.. nothing to do every night. nobody to talk to when you turn your head around, nobody to answer you when you rant in the room. it's just wierd. after 20 years of sharing with my siblings. hahahah.

Elder sis just flew over to aussie yesterday. a teary moment for all of us, which is not what i've expected. My stubbon, hot temper, hate-people-to-cry, strong appearance mom showed a different side of her. We hugged sister goodbye. It's so wierd to see everybody tearing. yes, even my dad, i saw him wiping 2 drips secretly.

I do feel hard to accept, when one needs to leave. I hate the parting scene, all kinds of parting scene, it's just different goodbyes. 2 years. or maybe 1 year later they'll come back to visit if there's enough $$.. Well, hopefully they come back! I miss her!

Everything went on normally, except feeling a lil empty when we're having dinner. seems quieter though. I try to accompany mommy more nowadays. she looked so lonely :/

oh well, life has to go on, i'll make mommy happier ^^

---
Hmm.. cny was good! ate lots of stuff. LOTS!!! gained weight. x.x cant really feel the festive season though, but it's still a good new year :D

----
New house has been O-K. but for the first few days, slept with air con. cos it's too stuffy, and has got no fan. only got the fan yesterday. got flu str away after the first night of air con. 3 nights consecutively air con.GOSH. im almost dying mann! air con kills. x.x too dry. made me cant breathe through my nose.. have to breathe through my mouth. dries up my throat, and here i am, with a sore throat. soon, i'll be coughing like a grandmother.

Havent been sleeping well since i moved in. got to wake up super early to do stuff.. be it work, blah blah. and the best part? my room is only 1/2 packed x.x and everybody's room is packed.

hur.

alright, update more next time, super tired. bye.
