waiting for meiyan to come back frm her exam.. hope her Hong Lou Meng and Tong Cheng Pai came out.. haha... den steady liaoz! we'll have lunch together... den off to stardee for tom's paper liao...
surprisingly i really don feel the sense of urgency kicking in (even at this time!! where the exam is less than 24 hrs away) urgghhh.. looking back @ my past blog entries, i am normally revising thru for @ least the 2nd time @ this moment.. but sad to say, i have yet to finish studying for tom's paper!! sob sobz... still played mahjong quest game online yest... (don scold me!)
chatted wif mel mel last night too... so happy to see her online and finally not in busy mode cox of practicum.... chats wif close friends always seem to be neverending, cox we can nv finish updating each other abt our lives... glad that mel mel is gg travelling with jymmy... to such a romantic destination... hopefully it will be a case of depart SIN - Ms Ong, arrive SIN - Mrs Na!
hahahaha....... jymmy, if ya reading this.. u noe wat to do right? don forget the bling bling... ahahah.....and melmel... pls don bring extra lightbulbs! Paris's too romantic a place for more lightbulbs! enjoy your pre-honeymoon and 1st overseas vacation together... the memories are gonna be Fantastic i tell u! hahaha....
so happy for mel mel, so happy for janice ger (minus the glittery purple car? haha) , so happy for meiyan (alright, minus the loud-voiced quarrels) hahah....
howz the rest of my darlings getting along? Tianxin, Suling, Tanlin, Viki, Kim, Shauna? u galz ok? update me abt your lives when ya free k!!
latest update abt shifting hostel - i will be extending my stay for another 3/4 month.. till 20th May (Fri) .... cox the enrichment programme dates and timings are too much for me to handle!! can't imagine having to be in NTU @ 830am... i will end up taking cab down i guess... (7 trips @$20 = $140, hostel fees only $135, still got a roof over my head and a final bit of freedom and privacy) haha... somemore after enrichment programmes i still have to give tuition.. so i'll end up being in the west area from 830am-830pm? watz the pt of gg home when the same routine will repeat itself the next day? also, i can have more time to pack my room and slowly move them back instead of having to rush everything off in 2 nights...
seems like everyone's for the idea of me extending my stay.. dear.. mumy.. friends..
which means to say, i can keep the 27th to finalise my travel stuff, such as packing my luggage, gg to change curency, buying last min stuff which i might have missed out etc...
moving hostel shall be moved to the back of priority list for now... and this is wat i have:
- quickly get over and done with my exams
- collect tuition fees from students cox they're my source of travel fees
- delegate work for my students to do while i'm away
- settle my travel stuff (passport, currency, luggage, do some basic reading up to prepare)
- get my posting asap
- try and sell my fridge
- start planning dates to meet-up with friends
- pack my room @ home to make way for the loads coming back
- pack my hostel room and shift home
- ... ... ...
tatz all for now... shall go and materialize my 1szt priority.. tata...
YUMMY YUMMY

BANNERS ARE UP IN NIE!
they look very nice.. but a pity the colour's not bright enough.. jux up onli and already looks like fading.. wonder how they will look like 1,2 yrs down the road...
agree wif janice that the group photo which we took was the nicest...
shall take the pics when i have the time and post it on the blog for those who are not in NIE to see ;op
went for the NIE Corporate Video recording this morning.. asked me to pose with a tablet pc in the COTF (Classroom of the future)... and i had a long line to memorise:
NIE not only provides a new dimension of teaching and learning. Apart from the transfer of knowledge, teaching must be about the holistic development of students.
Hopefully i don look toooo fat in the video... din have a chance to check the end results, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed...
Janice jux left to meet her dear dear... as for me.. itz studying time.. exam's only 2 days away...

POWERFUL ESSENCE OF CHICKEN
drank the deadly bottle @ 12pm.. kept me awake all the way till now... though my head's spinning and my eyelids are shutting, i cannot fall asleep!
even chinese tea and lipton teh-o do not have the same effect on me!
the power of a small bottle of black liquid - amazing
not in the mood to do antg at all... super nua.. jux wanna slack... rot... sleep...
tom's tuition day (out from 2pm till 9pm).. wed got corporate video recording (1030am - 1130am)... thu yan coming over to study after her CAC204 paper... fri's the ultimatum...
wished i could work a bit harder, or at least show a bit more enthusiasm towards my final 2 papers..
H.E.L.P!
WHAT'S UR FAV TV PROGRAMME?
nv did i expect such a topic.. i mean i can write about cooking, driving, shopping, my family, my house.. even on sports (cox tcr taught us nouns like badminton, soccer, swimming pool etc..).....
but FAV TV PROGRAMME?
those who noe me well will know that i've like a hermit for the past 4 yrs... w/o the luxury of a television, let alone watch television programmes. yes occassionally i do watch, but how the hell does one convert chinese words to malay?? how the hell do you say tv drama serials like 1/2 yuan2 fen4, star awards, cartoons, touching storyline, suspense and action, or even, Zoe Tay and even Joanna Peh in malay?!?!?!
luckily, i have a friend who loves to watch news, and he has been updating me with the news recently when we chat on the phone... and heng i recalled the news = berita (malay)... hence i wrote a whole chunk of rubbish with lots of grammar mistakes... but still betta than leaving the section blank and getting 10 marks less... arghhhh....
had to jux 'hum tum' wateva vocab i could draw out frm my word bank - news, stories, reported, special stories, weather forecast, interesting stories etc....
in the end i wrote a 10 sentence , as required for a mini essay... it went smth like this (in malay of cox)
i love to watch news with my family. although there are many different tv progs, i prefer news to music programs. i only watch the news twice a day, once at 5pm, the other at 10pm. the news that are reported by the chinese lady (i donnoe watz malay for broadcaster!!!) has many interesting stories.
sometimes, there are also special stories, such as animals being killed in the zoo, students hitting their teachers in school and kids falling in to the drains (a bit lame i noe... but these were the only phrases in complete malay which i could think of as examples..)
i like to watch the news because i can know the weather in Singapore as well as in countries overseas, like Malaysia for example.
I can learn many things when i watch and listen to the news. My family also likes to watch the news. I like to converse with my family when i am watching the news.I feel very happy when i can get to watch the news on television.
ARGH. i hope the tcr doesnt freak out upon seeing my essay.
the other components were ok... as usual there were a few diff ones...
oh well... like wat dear says. itz jUST a G.E! super glad that it is over....
gonna tune back to chinese channel now... 2 more chinese papers b4 my exams are over!
gonna nap a while.. though my mind's still fresh cox of the essence of chicken that i drank..
REAL studying tonight.... in Chinese...
not gg to watch any TV.. suddenly i hate the TV soooo much.... argh

CREEPY SHOW
literally left hanging @ the edge of my seat for the 1st half of the show.
movie has a very unique storyline.. that is ... if dear's and my guess are correct...
the evil man (Craig) is actualli some sort of a foetus-experiement-gone-awry.. den he lives inside the tracks of the subway.. preys on pple, kills them and digs out their intestines to feed his pets - millions of rats... also, he is a bit siao siao who imagines himself to be washing hands @ the sink when there's no water; wearing a stained surgeon gown and even dirtier gloves and acting like a surgeon.. manually 'removes' a woman's (Mandy) foetus inside her body and den inserts a long saw into her body to kill her... However, the only thing which he seems to be interested is the music doll which can play drums.. and this is positioned startegically in the middle of many glass jars containing different foetuses in awkward positions..
in the movie, blood is free-flow.. get it almost everywhere and anywhere; so are the rats.. they come in groups... going after fresh blood.... suspense factor is very high.. with the evil man chasing after the lead actress (Kate) and the exchange of blows between Kate and Craig....
However, the story is a bit stupid too.. becox of being forgotten by her friends to crash another party, Kate takes the subway but falls aslp while waiting for the last train. LAST TRAIN mind you.. yet she still could get herself high and drunk by drinking and waiting for the train.. no wonder she fell asleep.. also.. she wore these killer heels.. how to run? the sound of the heels scratching the floor is a sure give-away for her prey... Also, she could have axed him to death while he was being pinned down by the black man... but then she stopped for a moment.. relented, and killed the innocent black fella in the end...
morale of movie? i think itz to discourage abortions.. tells pple how things can turn out as a result of the abortion.. the foetus continues to grow.... the foetus haunts the memories of the parents.... chanced upon it on the chinese newspaper abt 2 weeks back.. an article about aborted foetuses growing up in the 'other world' and passing dreams to their parents about wanting to get married 'down in the other world'... they interviewed a medium who said that foetuses DO grow though they have been aborted.. hence when they reach a certain age, they would wanna get married and have company.. errie right? eeeeeeeee.......
dear's take of the movie review: itz to discourage casual sex which is so open in the west... or rather, be responsible for your actions.. you never wanna know that your foetus has grown into a 'mini hulk' or 'goblin-look alike' kind of monster...
CREEPY gave me the creeps. not recommended for the faint hearted. However if you are daring enough to open your eyes and watch, more than half shutting ur eyelids or using ur hands to cover your face, den itz worth the $$...
enuff of movie reviews.. kajua went down WIND wif Alan yesterday.. think Alan not feeling too good bah... heard he got drunk..i din go down cox i was watching movie with dear...
BUT i DREAMT abt them in my sleep.. DREAMT that i was there too.. DREAMT that we sang songs cox there was a KTV competition but we din win.. DREAMT that the pple @ the table next to ours were celebrating the bdae of one of the guyz.. quite fun...DREAMT that Alan got drunk... DREAMT that guyz asked me for my number but luckily kajua pulled me away.. suddenly i DREAMT that i was taking a long walk inside NTU trying to catch wild boars.... from the pioneer rd side.. to yunan gdn.. to comm studies block.. to NIE block 3.. den block 2... den swimming pool... DREAMT but they din come out... in the end came back... and the cab fare took me $20!! DREAMT that i chatted wif the fella on the cab too.. he asked me many questions but i can't rem wat they were.. hahaha.. LUCKY itz all a dream.. but wat a realistic dream... haha
woke up to a heartwarming and delicious breakfast from dear.. bee hoon, mee with chicken pieces and egg... and chilli... super full now.. gg study.. 1st paper for the final semester is about 13 hrs away...
Gonna need some luck to score well.. pls pls pls... don give me words which i don understand...
missing everyone out there!

Vin Diesel redefines what it means to be an action hero in the heartwarming family action-comedy The Pacifier.
Diesel stars as Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe who, as an elite member of the world's fiercest and most highly trained force thought he was prepared to take on any duty no matter how perilous or impossible ... until he tried baby-sitting. Assigned to protect the five out-of-control children of an assassinated scientist working on vital government secrets, Shane is suddenly faced with juggling two outrageously incompatible jobs: fighting the bad guys while keeping house.
Replacing his usual arsenal of wetsuits and weapons with diapers and juice boxes, Shane not only must battle a deceptive enemy but wrangle teen rebel Zoe (Brittany Snow), sullen 14 year-old Seth (Max Thieriot), 8 year-old Ninja-wanna-be Lulu (Morgan York), as well as 3 year-old Peter and baby Tyler - not to mention their off-beat Romanian Nanny (Carol Kane). But while drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering, den-mothering and driver's education. He's truly a SEAL out of water, and not it's up to this one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his life: keeping a family together. (source: www.gv.com.sg)
It's London, midnight, and the city is enduring the worse rainfall in a century. Unable to find a taxi to take her to her next party Kate, heads for the London underground. She buys a ticket from a homeless girl and descends to the platform where she soon falls asleep. She wakes to find herself completely alone and locked in, with no signal on her cell phone, monumentality panicked until the last train pulls in. She boards, unnerved that she'd the only passenger, but relieved at last to be on her way. Halfway through the tunnel the train jerks to a violent halt. The lights shut off and the train is plunged into darkness.
A man with a torch appears in the adjoining car and moves swiftly towards her. As the figure approaches through the connecting doors, it becomes clear it's someone she knows from the party. But this momentary relief evaporates as he lunges for her and tries to force himself upon her. In a split second the carriage doors fly open and Kate's assailant is pulled off her by a shadowy figure and hauled backwards out of the train.
Blood curling screams fill the tunnel, then silence. Kate bolts through the train, hides in the driver's carriage, and listens. There is nothing, then dull footsteps, then a rasping breath. She jumps down onto the tracks and runs as fast and as far as she can.
.but for Kate and the few people she meets along the way, the nightmare has only just begun. (source: www.gv.com.sg)

Cheers to this unique, ever-giving and amazing friendship ;op

FRIENDSHIP
had a lot of fun last night with friends.. singing.. drinking... joking.. discussing our future lives.. reminscing the olden days of friendship... suddenly i felt as if i could see my friend's future mapped out on a piece of paper... work... save money... start a business... get married.. have kids.. and i'll teach the kids and make them like Chinese!!! hahaha... how nice...

恋爱大过天 TWINS
学业要紧我会小心喜欢的他却在左近聊聊天竟比考试更专心
难道没有他我会更自爱何时可恋爱理论为何没记载要那样才是应该
同学爱新鲜恋爱大过天想不想也日夜怀念连甜梦也不够甜当然现在我未成年让我肤浅
只知恋爱大过天忘记有益的格言自动掠过他眼前怎么闪同学始终会遇见
学习太多爱好太少光阴一眨眼便跑掉为何他竟比功课更紧要
难道没有他我会更自爱何时可恋爱理论为何没记载要哪样才是应该
同学爱新鲜恋爱大过天想不想也日夜怀念连甜梦也不够甜当然现在我未成年让我肤浅
只知恋爱大过天忘记有益的格言自动掠过他眼前怎么闪同学始终会遇见
少女爱暗恋本是自然现在志愿以后或会变而我是否懂得爱不应该也难改变
同学爱新鲜恋爱大过天想不想也日夜怀念连甜梦也不够甜当然现在我未成年让我肤浅
只知恋爱大过天忘记有益的格言自动掠过他眼前怎么闪同学始终会遇见
(未大个女你大概应该) 天空海阔什么都喜爱
(未大个女你大概应该) 谈些少恋爱谈更多未来
(未大个女我大概应该) 应不应要为他锻炼期待
(未大个女我大概应该) 如果可爱爱爱亦无害
(未大个女你大概应该) 难道老来先可以恋爱
窗外 吴宗宪 & JOANNA
点了支不想抽的烟思念像眼圈飘散在床边
泡了杯没糖的咖啡我擦了香水会不会飘到你面前
天空上的云仿佛像你的心情捉摸不定
回想你扮鬼脸的表情难以忘记
爱离窗外越来越远
下着大雨那一夜
你哭红双眼并没有不对
我才发现我无力挽回
爱离窗外越来越远
已过了多久时间
你(我)哭红双眼并没有不对
我才发现这早已是从前
我想拉上窗帘我想闭上双眼
只是我不想看到窗外过去的情节
都是我不对你没有不对

GOSSIP TIME
(source: http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/show/story/0,4136,85966,00.html? )
SYLVESTER Sim's feelings for a certain girl are for all to see in his new, anticipated Mandarin album, Take Flight.
You only need to listen to three rock ballads on the album to know his devotion to her. The songs, all about pining for a girl whom he loves, but cannot have, are written by Sly - as he's affectionately known - himself.
While he won't divulge who this mystery lady is, he dropped enough hints to suggest she is fellow Singapore Idol finalist and girlfriend-on-the-sly-again Maia Lee, 22.
In an interview with The New Paper yesterday, Sly spoke at length about how the emotions in his songs are genuine and reflect his own love life.
'There's this girl I like, but I can't tell her because she already has a boyfriend,' lamented the lanky 22-year-old in a mix of English and Mandarin.
'When the guy is not around, we get to talk and laugh and be happy. But when he's around, I have to stay away and pretend not to look.
'The feeling is not great. But I'm the sort who will stay by her side and take care of her when her guy is not around.
'I'll do things for her, and even if she doesn't accept it, I'm still thankful and I'd do it willingly.'
So, who is this mystery girl?
Sly, being sly, refused to reveal.
'It's for me to know and for you to find out!' he said coyly.
'I'd like to keep it to myself. I don't want people to think that I'm crazy in love, or that I'm a great person. This is between me and her, or maybe just me.'
But, he did admit that 'she's my most beloved person', and that love blossomed recently.
He stressed that it happened before he embarked on his music career as a recording artiste, but not counting the Singapore Idol competition.
When asked if his songs reflect his last relationship, he said hesitantly: 'I can't really answer that... I don't want to affect my career.'
Then, leaning forward with eyebrows slightly raised, he added: 'But, who knows if the songs are not about her? Thinking back, she had a boyfriend then.'
While he did not mention Maia's name, it is no secret that Sly met Maia during the Singapore Idol contest, when she already had a drummer-boyfriend.
The two recently made headlines when they quietly applied for a marriage licence but quickly withdrew when the press found out.
When told point-blank that he's being sly, he shrugged and said: 'I don't know... I'm willing to do things for her, but I won't reveal who she is, not even if I'm six feet under.
'As long as she's happy and I can see her smile, that's enough for me.'
Perhaps another dead giveaway are his two new eagle-shaped tattoos - one on his back, and the other, his right arm.
Incidentally, Maia sports 10 tattoos, including an eagle near her right ear. But Sly claimed he chose the same symbol because 'I just like eagles'.The one on his back was tattooed in the chilly outdoors in Taipei two months ago, when he was there to style his image and take photos for his debut album. He said he was alone when he passed by a shop in the hip district of Hsimenting, and decided to go for it since 'I've always wanted a tattoo'. Last month, he got another one on his arm at Queensway Shopping Centre.
He insisted his tattoos have no special meaning. Unlike his music.
He says he still loves her in a song
IF his lyrics are admittedly about his own love life, Sly fell for his 'most beloved' at first sight, and is still head over heels in love with her. Here's his love confession in the song, That's Why, translated into English:
I remember the first time I saw you
You had an uncanny magical power
I could feel myself yearning to inch closer to you
The second time I saw you, I didn't feel so happy
Because I sensed the distance between you and me
Is this love, or are you too beautiful?
It made me do incredible things All I know is that if it makes you happy, I'm willing to do anything to get close to you
I know it'll be tough on me, and I'll get upset
I know how sweet you and your guy are together, so I can only stay by your side and watch over you
Every time he holds your hand, my tears start to flow
But I can only back off quietly, suppressing my pain
STRESSED UP

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Be a friend and share this with your friends -- it could save a life.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking 3 questions:
- Ask the person to SMILE.
- Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
- Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently - i.e., It is sunny out today)
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call your emergency number immediately(000 in Australia) and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented theirconclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this simple test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
