Aiya, guilty as charged.

Sigh.

CORS guru

I MUST have some knack for this CORS thing, everyone seems to be magically attracted to me when they need help for CORS!

BLUE monday

When I slept intermittently and woke up to sore throat several times, had to wake up at 6 (and thank god I've the sense to wake up at 6 instead of 5.15), trodded in rain with wet shoes, sneezed on the hell as cold bus 34, spent over an hr on the car which none of us predicted would last THAT long,  reached work 45 min after 8.30am, received these I-really-have-no-idea-what-I-can-write cards, and ALMOST fell asleep in the meeting room after that. 

Ho seh lo.. 

And the day ends at 10. Zzzzz.

Horoscope

Pisces [20 Feb to 20 Mar]

From now on, your mood will be increasingly wistful. Enjoy a little nostalgic sentimentality, but try not to open old wounds, at least not if you don't have someone on hand to help heal them.

.....

Who would wanna open old wounds?!?! Silly prediction..

Not that I normally trust them anyway, wahaha.

Potent drink!

Sore throat, sneezing, everything else under the sun. Blah.... 

Spent some $$$$$$ today. Okay I will restrain myself~ (until dec).

At least I was true to my words and didn't get any heels all the way from CNY until now, wahahaha. 

Oh no there's work tomorrow and my throat really hurts! 

And I realise that it's battle week from next week onwards. 沖啊！！！

And there is no visible answer to this.

July's just a tad crazy huh

Uber pandafied

I had a shot at sleep @ noon but I chose not to.

Because that short 2 hrs helped her and I was glad to do it.

Anytime, anyday. :) Always have a listening ear to people who needs it.

And thus I let it be

Whether it's Steve Jobs' major screw up or otherwise.

I can't believe that it's the same response again, but nvm. Haha-ing away is not prolly gonna make me feel better. Neither does "you are much appreciated". Maybe you will never know that my hostility is for real but why would you care even. As long as someone does the job..

Maybe you changed, maybe I did. Or maybe we both do, but the bottomline is nothing is the same as before and I can't say whether to be glad or not. It's okay though. There's the trusty laptop here. That's more than enough for the moment at 3.44am.

奇怪 leh

Why is it that I'm always the one who cares enough to meet up with the others to coordinate everything? 

What, you mean, maybe the others ain't interested enough to meet up after all right.

Or maybe they just wanna ride on free trips - since there are others organising, why should I do the dirty job?

Truth is, organisers can be pretty tired too. It doesn't help that you see the others being so non-committal about it. Or even expressively saying that organising is a dirty job and hence he is lazy to do it.

And some pesudo organisers can let me handle the rest. Don't know why I always end up being the contact point. 

Why ah, not as if I'm actually being paid to do all these. And as if it's not bad enough, people are so nonchalant about it it infuriates me. I should actually just stop organising after time and again of complaining, but no, I just can't seem to stop doing it. I care enough, you may say. Otherwise in another manner it's just 犯賤。Excuses about busy schedule, I don't believe my schedule is in ANY way less busy than any other profession, seeing that I have a full time job AND tuition kids to say the least.

Guess what, this organiser is pretty fed up already. No consolation even if everyone just goes, thank you for organising. There is a threshold to how many thank yous I can get too. No point saying thank you when the next time you do the SAME thing again.

Sometimes I am really glad for the PA guys and MOE ex-temps so that I can ride on free trips at times too.

Didn't mean to offend anyone with this post, I guess this period of time is not really a good time to piss me off. 

Oh where is that shell

For I feel like it's no longer existant; every single thing upsets me these days by a magnitude of 10.

Then again, for the first time in so long I don't feel like going gym, yet I will, yet I must, for personal reasons, for promises even though it is a silly one. 

But that's just me to keep silly promises. And it's even sillier to expect others to keep their silly promises.

I don't want to turn into a petty emotional nonsense kid that I've been rambling about.

11th July 2010

Yays!

Happy birthday, peepz.

Hope you're somewhere doing fine, friend, after 5 years.

Hello, commencement 2nd anniversary.

Hello to being debt free.

One more positive thing to note on this day.. May there be more (and only) good things to come on this day.

我要救你 你也要自救

I think, enough said.

If you don't have the intention to help yourself, no matter how busy I make myself, you will not improve anyhow. Waiting for half an hr to an hour each time doesn't let me feel that you want to help yourself.

I wonder why all dizi guys are like that.

Dehydration

After a slight case of diarrhea and some serious puking, after one night's sleep, I'm still feeling weirdddddddd.

Rahhhhh why is this so and I'm supposed to be out for tuition in a moment's time!

This just confirmed that Starbucks + Dinner + F1 driver is NOT recommended. 

I must learn not to have expectations.

Then there won't be disappointment nor hopes and at this point of time only Yuenling knows what I'm talking about haha.

Dependency

I had this flashback about people SMSing me.

And I had another flashback receiving an SMS telling me I can be the contact point because I have free incoming SMSes (at that point of time).

Oh well. I have a very strong feeling people auto look for me simply because of my relability over receiving / returning calls / SMSes. And I hardly, hardly ever not reply any call / SMS simply because I will keep on thinking about the unreplied call / SMS the whole day if I do not reply.

But also because of this reliability, some people might be taking it for granted.. 

Maybe one day I will do a disappearance act too. Just to show that I am not as reliable as everyone thinks, that I am human and can screw up too.

The demise of my happy penguin tumbler

Last November, I bought a early Christmas present for myself from Starbucks: the very cute Starbucks penguin tumbler!!

But alas, good things do not last. Compare the previous photo with the one above, and you'll find that the bottom has become translucent instead of being transparent!!!!! Well, let's just say 我怕死 and I ended up going to Starbucks@HV to enquire about it. They didn't exactly know what went wrong either, but their service was fantastic. They told me if I weren't happy about it, I was always welcome to an exchange at the original outlet. 

So I went down to the Suntec outlet and explained the matter to them, and the staff even showed me to the shelf and told me which ones I could take to replace!!!

And so..

Hello, new Starbucks tumbler! Ideas for design your own, anyone??

I have to say I admire Starbucks' customer service even more after this, when I was already very very impressed with "How Starbucks Saved My Life". :)

And everyone wished they can go back to primary school times!

And I swear upon that.

We had our LJ at North Vista Primary School yesterday, and everything was fantastic. Not just the, erm, wake up at 7.45 instead of 6.45 part, not just the left at 4.20 and reached home at 5 part, but also the entire process! 

That said, it's still super shiok to wake up late and reach home at 5 ♥

But I digress.

So I started off with reaching at 9 because I factored in 20 minutes for being late. And thanks to maps, I no longer will be lost anywhere! <3 to brillant turn-by-turn navigation from Google. (it was just a straight road down in the end anyway -_-) 

We sat in the parents session and listened to the principal sell his school to the parents, and the parents addressing some of the concerns they had. All I can say is, those questions wouldn't have appeared 10-15 yrs ago, the evolution of parents and the new age of kiasu-ism! Singapore's mentality needs to change, else there's no way parents will stop being kiasu - it's nearly a sin if you leave your child out of preparation programmes and while the rest of the world are doing sums your kid is still - ing. 

 

Went for a tour of the school after that, and all I can say is: Fantastic. The school really does exceed my entire expectations of how a primary school should be like now (or is it that I was just a being a frog?) In any case, I applaud the school for the thinking and the innovation which turned it into the school it is today. Lunch was after the awesome tour and we had a couple of activities after that, which had me mask taping everything in sight, but it was just random fun and yup, yesterday was indeed a good day. :)

Wii stations and getting authority over how their library should look like! I like.

I also like how they brought up their students to be inquisitive and totally comfortable in the presence of outsiders, how they train their students to be outspoken, with self confidence and with their 4 little rules of 

1) I love myself

2) I love my friends

3) I love my school and

4) I love my nation 

Which is so simple for students but yet encompasses everything else that other schools go "don't do this, not allowed to do that". Simple and effective. I like.

And everyone can see that I'm sold with this school's methodology. =) Reggio Emilia is indeed a good approach. If I had been brought up in this kind of environment, I would like to see that I would have turned out very differently indeed. 

That's it, I'm not gonna send my future kid to a conventional school!

And I am patiently waiting for 6pm

Because I have a terrible headache and desperately need to nap for a while before going to ah ma hse. And this shows maybe I am too dependent on the morning train naps. 

And that maybe I should sleep a little earlier the next time.

Back @ NUS!

I think I somehow, in this half a year to 1 year, explored more of NUS canteens then in my whole 3 yrs studying here. What an irony!

This time, it's at arts canteen. :) Food smells good while waiting for Val!

Tons of memories when I walked past AS6 and the like, of all the french lessons and when I see ang mohs I auto thought of Switzerland and when we asians were hopping around Université de Fribourg during summer time. =)

Nice memories, and nice lunch!

I'm turning into a geek!

Ever since following Engadget and the like on Twitter, I'm turning into a full time geek.

But seriously, some people can stay at the Engadget site all day just to make comments and counter people's comments! And reading them makes me feel like they are actually regular commenters i.e. I can see something like 

"Hey xxx, it's been a long time, what's up man" kinda comment. @_@

That = alot of free time!!

At least I only read them once and move on, wahahaha. No joke. Some of the comments are reallllllly very funny. It lightens up the day~

Now I know all about the latest tech news! I feel so like a geek. =D
