It's my first paper today!

Sian...others already went through 2-3 paper and left 2 more while i still got 3 paper to go. Well the bio paper wasn't as hard as the online quizzes but i still find myself dikum'ing several questions cos of the time lacked. Hai...It's open book exam so i think i wasted a lot of time flipping thru the book.

Btw, my body temperature is 37.2. Haha, safe! The person who took my temperature is a friendly medic student. But i'm too weak or maybe too stress to reply to his cheerful greeting. Dunno why i feel so exhausted since morning till now.

After getting temperature measured, still have to chop stamp hand to indicate 'Clear'. It's just remind me of those *safe* porkies lying down there in the wet markets.

Th Sars seems to be getting out of hand day-by-day. Thanks to that 8 selfish and inconsiderate people who wandered around the neighbourhood area. Now i have to put off the chalet that i had planned for May. Mum's been nagging me how i should stay home during this period of time. Think the plan of getting a decent vacation job will have to go also.

On a light note: I find this from my school's BBS. Supposedly a lecturer wrote this. Just to share with you.

You know why New Changi Hospital(NCH) changed its name to Changi General
Hospital (CGH)? Because NCH stands for "Never Come Home". That's why
business was very bad before it changed its name. Now CGH stands for
"Can Go Home". So business is picking up.

Business in Singapore General Hospital(SGH) is still going strong
because SGH stands for "Sure Go Home"!

Now National University Hospital(NUH) is also considering a name change.
It stands for "No Use Hospital"!

What about Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). Not too good name, no wonder so
much problem. It stands for "Tiam Tiam Si Hospital" and now 'Tan Teo SAR
Hospital".

So, be careful which hospital you want to go if you are unwell.

Hm...I can hear the protest from my stomach. Guess i have to stop now and make myself a nice warm cup of cereal drink. Cozy esp in this kind of weather(raining + thundering). Before i go, here's some eyecandies for you.

This is the avartar i used in FlowerPod
forum. Cute rite?

The mini cake i ate on my birthday morning.

I haven't been celebrating birthday ever since i was like 8 or 9 years old. This year's different. 21 years old liao. This is fruit cake (Thanks sis for this! I love you muak! ) i ate for supper. I din wish for anything. Too old for it now.

There's still another cake iate during afternoon which is a swiss roll. Din have the photo. Oh man, I'm had been caking all the day! No wonder i find my pants abit tight today.

Yeah! I'm 21 today!!!

Congratulate myself! Yah, today marks the 21 years of my existence. I'm officially stepping into adulthood. Have to be careful in signing contract from today onward cos it will be counted. BY's the first one to sms me greeting, followed by CH, ZY and MY! BY, you a little bit early though(1159 on 20/4). Hee hee! Now busy returning msg...

Well although there is not much celebration going to happen, chalet planning 's going underway. Hopefully, the SARS situation won't get worse or else I can't get to book the duplex room at east coast resort.

Hmm...sometime i think that the one who should celebrate bday should be my mother instead becuase she is the one who gave birth after ten months. 21 years ago, I, an innocent creature, had already cause great pains to my mum when she went for her first Caesarian section. (I guess I'm too gigantic to turn over in the womb) It's more painful than any other ordinary labour ordeal because the technology that time was still not as good as today's.

Want to thank my mum for bringing me up prim and proper these years. I know that It's not an easy process. I have my rebellious and mischevious streak now and then. I just want to say " I love you Mum, always!"

The birthday girl is returning to her bio book now.

On my Birthday's unattainable Wishlist

Hmm....

Try out this quiz here. Here's mine result!

You are a Koala!

Cuddly and snuggly. You love romance and being pampered
by a partner. Candle-lit dinners, red roses and soft, moody music all
set the perfect tone for you. In bed you're very sensual and eager to
give your partner as much as they give you. You love sex but it isn't
a major priority in your relationships. You're at your happiest being
cradled in your partner's arms.

It's my grandma's 49th day

Just returned from my grandpa house. Dad woke me at 9am...*Grunt* So tired...8 hours sleep not enough for me nowadays leh.

Burned massive paper money and paper furniture for grandma at the roadside. Can feel the hot flame even from a distance. Can imagine the terror of those who perished in the fire.

It's gonna be a blast at my block. Not that some party are going to happen but i do notice that there is a chinese taoism/buddhism funeral at the back of my block, the setting up of a temporay cover for an indian festival this evening on the left and a chinese Getai on the right. Woohoo..."Surround sound stereo" Hope they will continue making noise till as late as possible. I like nosiness especially while i'm in the middle of intense study.

Has added in Comment feature "Green Apple". Feel free to critise/praise me. Going to rebuild my webby using more sophiscated way this coming long vacation. Stay tune.

Revision starts today

Went to Power Supply at Somerset to fill up some application forms with YY and MY. Hopefully, they have vacancies and we all work together. It's so boring working especially with wrong age groups.

Exam coming real soon. The paper is on 25 April and the last one on 5 May. Somehow the mood is still no here yet. Next monday is my 21st birthday. Nothing much happening since most of my friends are having cs3264 paper on that day. Hm...probably find myself burying my head into the bio textbook. But at least hope to dine at Goodwood hotel with my parents. Yah quite a pathetic way to celebrate 21st birthday right?

Went to buy a bday card for BY after what It have done wonders to me when i recieve one from two good friends. (I used to keep greeting cards/letter/postcards and has collected a gigantic bag of those. However, these days i receive none so collection has come to a stop...) It is never my habit to remember someone's bday. Somehow i want to have a change this year since everyone will turn 21 this year. So i start diggin' out those old autographs and contact lists and enter each birthdates into my nokia 8520 for reminders. BTW if you're thinking of sending me a greeting card, note that I prefer the physical ones to virtual ones!

Some blogger has thought of getting conch piercing for 21th birthday present. I think it's quite very cool and beautiful, better than getting tattoos (Tattoos are ugly!!! It does injustice to skin!). But i never have the courage to go for it. The image of blood splashing all over the place during the gunning would have done enough to deter me.

While searching for pic of conch piercing, I also accidentally saw labia piercing. Myfirst reaction was "Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!" It's freaked me out totally. What is in the earth that made people torture their body for such a unsightly(hidden) body art?

Ok folks, i gota start my revision now. Time running out. Won't be returning often. Meanwhile i'm contemplating over organising a chatlet at East Coast during May. Just scared that no one wants to come because of SARS. You wanna come along?

Job searching day

Went to employment agencies at Tanjong Pagar with my best pal. Better than last year's situation whereby temp job seekers were rejected by most agencies. But the funny thing is that quite a handful of agencies have put up notice at their front door that those who been to TTSH or have flu/fever symptons aren't allowed to enter. The first agency that we go was Business trend on 33th floor. (Btw, i have phobia of taking lifts to such a high level. I guess I get this from taking too much flights. Yah it'a the other way for me. People get more comfortable with every additional flight. I'm opposite. Yah I'm so chicken. But i still can't forget my dream that occured before SIA incident.) Alas,I found out that my typing speed is 45 wpm using a software at the agency. Not used to the Desktop's keyboard. Could be faster if it is the laptop's.

Quite tired ..We went through 10+ agencies. There are interviews done so i think it not that bad as last year. Or probably we are the early birds looking for May jobs.

Accompanied my friend to Far East Plaza. Surprised when she pulled me to the base floor. I din realise the neat clutter of funky/styliish shops over there. Oh gosh, how long have i not come out from my cocoon? Since last year? Was nagging my friend to return home quickly cos i need to debug the software program for tml presentation. Somehow, I now just wanted to linger on window shopping...Just while my friend decided on a pair of silver-rhinestoned black flip flops, my dad called and i couldn't stay on longer. hmm....this trip actually motivates me to find a job and earn money to splash on luxury items. Hope my parents dun read this. Or else they will start ranting, "In such bad economy blah blah blah..". Actually, i have to train myself to find clothes of my preference. I'm too dependent on my mum's opinion.*Shame Shame* Gonna make my way back there after the exam are over.

One more place which i haven't been is Muji@bugis...It seems to be a favourite spot among the flower podders...Somehow after exam, must also make my way there to see.

So it's the IRAQ war, then the SARS. Now it's Leslie Chueng's plunge.

I am never his fans. But his death leave me shocked and sad. At first I thought Meirong is playing an April fool joke on me when she told me on phone. I have never recognised his talents in singing (Currently playing: Sheng qing xiang yong) and acting until now. Also surprise when my mum reveal that she quite admire him. (My mum has always disencouraged us from having celebrity idols.)

I din get any industrial attachment. *Darn*. I went for second balloting then realise the choice i made isn't good at all. Regretted. Hope i din get any offer from this balloting. Plan to go to agencies next week and get an IT job preferably for experience purposes. I've been looking through the job listing and many require IT skills not taught in NUS. Have i chosen a wrong path? Really hate what I'm doing now. Work like slave for a piece of not-so-useful certificate. It's not the kind of life that i want. So now my mum has been taunting me for not listening to her advice at first. Even if i do, i would not enter teaching career.

Been skipping sleep nowsday to do programming. Initially at the start of the semester, thought that having a guy in the project would help to lessen the work load. It's always the guys better than the gals in such area. But it's totally opposite. Whenever, my leader gave him task to do. It's either he pushes it away, saying he's busy with other modules or he dunno how to do. What kind of attitude? It's not as if we are very free or super zai ppl. He even have the face to say we make it unhappy for him. All bullshit. How did he manage to get into university? God knows only.

This week, i have been living terribly. The IT marketing presentation is one of the disastors for me though not so bad as other groups who got scolded by the rude lecturers and proposals got creamed! I guess we are the 3rd group so they're not strict. Yesterday's quiz is horrible. I leave the questions blank. As for e-commerce presentation, the tutor knew we were just passing time by giving him some rubbish stuff. He's right. Coolz man...

It only occured to me yesterday that i should have taken cs3266 instead of cs3261. At least for the next 3 months vacation, i can work as freelance website designer. Hai, it nearly the end of semester!
