"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

--From As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143), William Shakespeare

Yeah, from the title u can see...my blog reached 1000th visitor!!! Yeah!!! And it's...irene!!! I dun have any of her picture...can't find any. But if I ever find it, I will post here!!! Next milestone...my 100th entry!!! It's reaching...

Anyway, Happy belated birthday Xiao Yang!!! You know who you are.

School starting tml...damn! So nice to have a couple of days off in school...comtemplating whether I should go to school tml since the lecture is webcast...but since I have a legal discussion after the lecture, I think I better go...

CNY spirit haven died down yet...more angbaos must come!!! Hahaha...I am slightly rescued from poverty at the moment...not that my angbao money is A LOT, but at least I am having some cash on me...

I better start mugging now...haven touch my legal homework...hahahah

Cheerios guys, have fun.

Anyway, I just discovered something. The number of visitors on my site meter is approaching 1000....at this moment as I am looking at my blog, the figure was 997. Very exciting!!!

So for everyone out there, if you are the number 1000 visitor (you can know that by looking at the number on my beige site meter at the bottom of my tag board), can you please just tag at my tagboard to let everyone (esp me) know who you are? I would really want to know...as for whether there is a prize for that visitor...I will think about it...

But most likely.....hahahaha...

Hey peepz. One hectic week for me has passed. This is the week of my tutorial, and given that it was an odd week, I had extra 6 hrs of tutorials to attend. It was horrible. I was tired constantly throughout the week, not to mention late all the time for my first lesson of the day...Have to help mum with the CNY deco and stuff, keeping buying food and drinks for the CNY back to the house. At least there is a 4 or 5 days off for hols...for me la. I can rest.

My tutorial tutors ranges from good to worst... worst tutor is without a doubt mgt sci. Horrible. She teaches with her face to the board and her body blocking everything else on the board. Hmm, what are we supposed to see and learn? (so bad of me) My Mkting tutor is a little eccentric, but in a good way. My soci (making sense of society) tutor is a very open-minded tutor. She allows us to use the f*** word and the d**k word. Yeah, those words...She uses them herself. Hmm...interesting.

It is CNY, but yet I already have a couple of readings that I need to read. Plus tutorials and a need to catch up with all those Mgt Sci lectures that I had skipped...yes yes. Already I am skipping lectures...I skipped a grand total of 3 lectures this month. No good for someone who don't exactly have the habit of skipping lectures....(yes yes I am THAT guai). So much to catch up...but I had fewer projects to handle than last sem. I hope I can handle this sem's work.

In short, I am bored with the amount of work I have to do and I really want to enjoy this CNY even though the novelty of CNY has worn off me so many couple of years...

This is such a dreary entry and considering it's CNY, I shall switch the topic.

Talking about soci, I was doing a little of my reading yesterday cos I REFUSED to sleep (don't ask me why), and came across this ethnocenterism thing. The author hinted that the Americans and others who asked "why don't other people speak english" seems to be kinda conceited and silly....they are the ones who can only speak one language (english) you see, while most of the "other" people can speak more than one language...even the Africans and us Singaporeans. We should be asking that question to them, not them to us. It may not seems funny to you, but it was to me. How often I heard this line on the english reality tv shows I watched, esp The Amazing Race...It just cracked me up. The author was right on the money...he really should say this to the TAR contestants every year in their faces!!!

I need to work out and exercise and run and....I don't know what else....I just need to get my bones working. I thought I was really really really unhealthy considering that I haven't work out for months, but guess what? Yingqi and Linda were worse. We were running after the internal shuttle bus that day. I wasn't the fastest of the 3 (I was never a fast runner, but then again I was wearing a demin skirt which was really impossible to run...use imagination to imagine). We couldn't catch it, and when they sat down, they were panting quite badly. Yes, panting. I wasn't panting, or I wasn't panting as much as them I think. It wasn't such a long distance...or so I thought. I guess I am still erm....healthier than them? But I can forsee myself 2 years down the road, looking like them...

It's still a dreary entry isn't it? Something happier something happier...

Next week it's such a short week...I only have 2 hrs of lecture on wed!! Considering to skip it again since it was webcast...

Actually, I really can't feel any happiness in that previous 2 lines....

I think I should consider aiming for cap 5 this sem...just to give me something impossible to do and perhaps a purpose in life...I am still kinda wishing that I have the life I want, but I now don't even know what kind of life I want. Life is confusing and difficult...

Ok....I need to get more excited. I bought another minature perfume again...really happy. I absolutely love minature perfumes. Don't have to worry that you can't finish the perfume before it turns stinky, don't need to have big big bucks to get a decent branded perfume, and the bottles are way cooler. Sure, Linda said I paid more for a bottle of 4 ml of perfume as compared to buying a....30ml perfume. But I prefer to buy lots of them and can switch them up whenever I wanted without worrying that I bought too many of them. And the bottles are really cute. I can collect them!! I found J Lo's minature Live...too bad the bottle wasn't coloured like the original big bottle. But I like the smell. The next minature I will buy is that!And hopefully it will then sell coloured bottles of j lo's live!!! And Gucci's envy me!!

Hmm..entry getting happier.

I can't get Ricky Martin's Drop It On Me out of my head....it was really catchy and I like it. Heard it on the ch5 victoria secret fashion show....whoa that show rawks!@! Adriana Lima rawks!!! Gorgeous woman...drop dead at her feet. Not to mention every girl was in her knickers...yes yes I am a perverted girl. Along with that song I like sean paul's we be burnin...and shakira's la tortura...

Latin culture!!! I want to learn spanish!!! To learn how to speak like a latina, and talk like a latina. Latins are so sexy, passionate....that's what I thought from my views on tv shows and stuff. Yes, my view is myopic. But I gladly stayed in this perfect latin world of mine...it seems kinda like utopia to me.

Like the movie Memoirs of a Geisha...don't understand what were all the hoo-has about them was about. It wasn't that bad, in fact I thought it was pretty good. But perhaps I never read the book before watching it, thus my expectations was too low? But then again, I learnt a couple of lessons that never expect too much from a movie that was adapted from a book....anyway if anyone of you has a chance, catch the movie "dangerous minds". It was adapted from a book too...I can't remember which. But it was good.

And I am reading memoirs currently. Thanks carisse!!

Next movies : Brokeback mountain (Heath Ledger!!! Hopefully it will be a m18 show instead of a r21 show when I want to watch it...), Casanova(My dear heath again!!!), Matchpoint and Transamerica.

Recent obession: air in the hair...

I better go. Or else I would be chewing your ears off. Or eyes. Whatever. Don't be affected by my dreary words initally. It was just sheer tiredness of my mind that pushes me to say something like that. Be upbeat!!!! After all, it's CNY!!! Worst come to worse, there is the money in the ang baos to speak about...

Cheerios....enjoy the hols!!!

P.S Linda, if you are reading this (which most prob not likely), I watched cheaper by a dozen on rental dvd. Kinda funny...I love the youngest 2 boy twins!! So cute. There was 1 part whereby they were showing the outtakes, and one boy said, " I learnt from the 'goodest'." LOL...

Dear peepz,

It's been a while. At the moment I am not free to type a super long entry (which I really want cos I got so much to talk about), so I guess I just have to say Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! May all your wishes come true!!!

I promise, I will be back soon and type a super long entry. I am itching very much to do so but I don't have the time. Be patient...(I am talking as if a lot of people are waiting for me to update my blog...but who cares? Haha...I certainly don't)...

Cheerios guys. Enjoy this holidays...

You don't understand disappointment. Like I do. I am disappointed in you. I really do.

You always want to get what you want, do what you want to do and I have to obey you. You care about how you feel, but not how I feel. You forgot.

I am disappointed in you.....

And I didn't get all my tutorial slots. Damn. Need to reballot again...idiot.

Cheerios.

I am really hating my father for bringing me the virus. Now he is getting better, I am getting worse!!! I can't breathe properly in lecture halls but I don't dare to blow my nose too loudly. Now my ears hurts from blowing my nose too hard and there is a constant ringing in my ears now. My body aches, and my face was as white as paper when I came home from school yesterday. Was so dizzy that I can't walk properly.

I skipped school today, mainly cos I am not feeling so good. Tml is my doom day....gonna bring home 3 textbooks...at least I bought 2 of them 2nd handed. Save a couple of bucks. Can't find 2nd handed for the most expensive text...Mgt sci...damn it. Resigned to the fact that I have to buy a new one. Damn...

Haven watch the whole golden globe awards show...but I know Felicity Huffman won the best leading actress in a motion picture drama. Woo Hoo!!! Rooting for her because I think she has come a long way...was hoping that one of my fave actor Heath Ledger winning the best leading actor but he didn't...damn it. Guess America is able to give an award for felicity acting as a man wanting to be a woman but not heath acting as a cowboy surpressing his love for another cowboy huh? America...not as open-minded as we like to think and not as accepting as we like to think. Nvm...wait for the Ocsars!!! Heath will get his chance again!!!But at least Sandra Oh won a golden globe...I like her.

And Eva from desperate housewives looks as stunning as ever. So is Keira Knightley. But Teri Hatcher not wearing her undies??? I don't need to know that!!!

Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Jonathan Rhys Meyers (I like him...) and Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams

But my fave dress of the night....

Keira Knightley!!!!

Oh man...I love these awards shows...dresses dresses and more dresses....drop dead beauties at every corner...

Cheerios.

I was late for lecture again, and worst of all, I forgot where am I supposed to go for lecture. Stupid me. Feeling terrible now because my dad passed me his virus! Now having sore throat now...what a time to have it when CNY is so close!!!! Damn damn damn damn damn!!!!

Julian mcmahon, Eric Bana, Hugh Jackman and Heath Ledger.

Anyway, just a silly thing to do...what is common between these great actors?? .....................



They are from Australia!!! Never underestimate the power of australia...hahaha...

I told you it was a silly thing to ask.

Cheerios.

My hols are over. I am slightly luckier that since I have no lessons on mon, it means that tomorrow, which is wed, I will have my first lecture of the year and sem. To think it is programming...I can already forseeing myself saying "boring" after the lecture. Computers and I dont fit, dont match and I guess it wont be for a long time. I will have a hard time this sem...

I am already looking forward to the end of this coming sem. Lots of things happening after the end of this sem. Will have a job (hope can get something that I like), have money, lots of movies blockbusters to watch, and world cup. Caaaaannnnnn't wait already. Long time for me to recharge my batteries. But it's too far away to think about it.

I must mug, pia, chong and be dilligent in my work. I was so slacky last year!!! I want to get better results in my exams. That's a target to work towards for me this year. And I must start reading novels again...brush up my flowery english that I used to rattle a few years ago.

Tomorrow's lessons is at 12pm...until 2pm then I can go home. Feels so silly. But then again I am glad, for it's such a short day...better enjoy it while I can. But it has been raining cats and dogs these few days...maybe tomorrow it will even rain hamsters? It was so nice to sleep in this kind of weather...I hate going out when it's raining. I hope it wont rain tomorrow...

As I was lying in my bed last night, I was thinking about what kind of a person I am. I am kinda different from a lot of girls out there, am I? I was never the soft-spoken easily-bullied girl. I was never the drop-dead gorgeous popular girl. I was never the super candy sweet girl. I was never a lot of things. I am fiesty, tough, beautiful in my own way kind of girl. I'm blunt, too blunt at times. I speak my mind. I am a comedian. I told jokes, witty humours and puns. I fight with you to get what I want. I am weak in my own way and strong in others ways. I show emotions the way I like it. Laugh, cry, anger...whatever. It's crazy to be with me. In my life, I met a few people who cant accept the way I am but I guess that's how life is isn't it? I dont have to be what everyone expects me to be. I am me. If that's what costs me to be me, fine. I want to be true to myself. I have an attitude.

But then again, I don't know whether all I said above is entirely true. I don't think I am the best person who knows myself. I am still on a road of self-discovery.

Cheerios. Cheers for the beginning of another semester.

I hate planning for them. My head is bursting right now...damn it. And I can't sleep without planning for it. Great...

I need another new look....and here it is. Vengeful, I am very grateful for what u have done for me in the last skin. But I need a new look, so dun be upset ok? If it comforts u, I saved the previous template.

I like really feminist skins, lotsa and lotsa femine skins. Attitude and beauty combines to form...me? I certainly hope so. I fell in love with this skin when I saw it, though it may be a bit plain, it is still me. Totally digs the fact that simplicity has its beauty...feels like me, if you know what I mean. I am a simple girl, but no doubt, I hope, I have my beauty.

Good news for me for this year. Finally bought a weighting scale like a few days ago, found out that I had lost a total of 5 kg between the time period of the nus medical checkup and now...woo hoo!!! My healthy eating paid off! I have to continue this on! 2 more kgs and I am set!!!

Sharon, I will be able to fulfil my resolutions!!! I'll show you!!! LOL...

Watched the movie The Notebook on dvd...totally fell in love and bawling my eyes out. Granted the fact that Ryan Gosling is super handsome, the story is super touching. It proves one point. Movies dont have to be of big budgets. What makes a good movie is a good story. This movie is that. Nothing more. And the brains behind this story is Nicholas Sparks, one of my favourite novelists. The mastermind behind A Walk to Remember and Message in a Bottle. His novels always makes me cry. Tugs the heartstrings and opens the floodgates. Simple love romantic stories. Kinda makes me believe that there is real real love. Funny though, I never read the notebook before. But I will. I will get my hands on it. Along with Pride and Prejudice =)

We need to read, to transport us to somewhere magical, to get out of the bustling city.

Cheerios.

Woo Hoo!!! Happy New Year everyone!!! Just want to take the opportunity to post the first post of the year on the first day of the year!!!

How fast 2005 goes!!! I was working for 6 months, studying for 4 months, slacking for 1 month and sick for 1 month. What a year. Never had a year like that. It is kinda a small changing point of my life. Met a lot of amazing new people, found my new obession...(Jon Jonsson, IOC and other stuff) and lotsa and lotsa. I found out how spolit I was, how lucky I am, and I have definitely matured. 7-11, QS, NUS, Yingqi Carisse Linda Nicole Li Ting...lotsa. I become a full fledged soccer fan who can start to rattle some players' name without embarrassing myself and changed my mum into a fan too. And all the friendships I have kept and made. But more importantly I found out that I am more capable than I thought and I can do more if I try. I want to thank everyone who helped me to have such a wonderful 2005, and may we create a better 2006!!!!

My 2006 resolutions:
1. I must TRY to be early no matter what. This lateness jinx, I am sick of it. I am tired of running to school everyday. Yingqi already given up on me after nagging me for 4 months. I can't imagine the next time when I start working....so this is something I have to change.

2. Eat healthy and exercise and diet!!! I had changed my diet in 2005 in a more healthy one, having eat less carbs (less rice) and more veggies and even more protein and iron ( the ingredients for growing your hair and nails faster!!!). I need to maintain it and exercise!!! I kinda miss running so I have to pick it up again.

3. Grow up!!! I am the baby of the family, and the baby of my friends and even used to be the baby of my ex-collegues (this may have already changed...I have no idea). Have to catch up with them.

4. Spend less....save money!!!

5. Sleep early!!!! A real bad habit....all from those soccer matches so I must change my biological clock back to what it should be...

6. Mend relationships, laugh more, believe in love and let go.

7. Lotsa lotsa more....haven really think about it.

What I really wanted:

1. More clothes and shoes and bags and earrings. A girl can never get enough of those.

2. Backstreet Boys concert tickets!!! I do want to go. I know they kinda past their peak, but they are still the biggest boyband of the decade. Also, I do like their songs....love All I have to Give...my ultimate fave. I really really really want to go. But I am so broke to buy the tix!!!! More than anything now that I am working right now so that I have the dough for the tix. But now, even I can afford it, no one will go with me becos they wun buy the tix...so now I am kinda struck.

3. CDs!!! I want Gwen Stefani, BEP, Kanya West, Marah Carey and even Kylie Minogue. And mayve BSB....

4. Money!!!! It will fulfil the previous 3 wishes.

5. Meeting people like Ian thorpe, Orlando Bloom, Michael J FOx...you get the idea.

Sigh. Can't fulfill everything up there huh? I guess a realistic view is to hope that everyone ard me is healthy and happy, I am healthy and happy, I get gd results...hopefully hitting cap 4.0 or higher and the year just passes smoothly.

Cheerios, hope everyone is happy.
