Happy Chinese New Year!
May your angbao collection be as plentiful as the padi fields in Thailand.
Looking at the date, I think apologies are in order. I'm really too tired up with my work. I swear, blogger has something against me though. Everytime I want to blog, its always having some sort of problem.
So, whats up with my life anyway? I guess the biggest event is the completion of my FYP presentation. I am pleased to announce that our Final Year Project has come to an end at last. No more organoclay polymer nanocomposites! No more Institute of Chemical and Engi. Sciences! Its now all about.. Plant Design, Mass Transfer test and exams.
Had a great angbao collection this year, although I only visited 4 places in total. Nevertheless, I am happy with the turnout. There was a bunch of interesting events happening, such as having a bunch of Filipino choir serenade us with their rendition of chinese new year songs and the addition of a super hyperactive dog named "Chanel" to the family. Of course, the annual favourite of mine, meeting up with one of my relatives, a little boy named "Lim Peh Song". He is a bit bigger now, in K1. His name never fails to make me shriek with laughter every year though. Cute little boy. Wish I had a camera phone that works.
Perhaps another event worth mentioning is that, Michael met my relatives. Thats right, relatives. Thats inclusive of my great grandmother, my grandaunties and uncles. I guess he made a good impression, since his angbao collection amounted to $98. Gee! He only had 1 $2 angbao! Why is it not fair? *pouts*
Oh and lastly, I am SCREWED for tomorrow's test. SCREWED. UTTERLY SCREWED.
And thats it for now, I am still trying to remember whats my cousin's blog address since I'm really curious whether he has a girlfriend or not. I am ALWAYS curious in such stuff. Future gossipmonger in the making, watch out for me!

Busy busy busy! Looks like the busy season isn't going to stop anytime soon. Maybe when I graduate. *COME BACK MY FREEDOM!*
Anyway, just a quick summary of whats coming UP this weekend.
Pharmaceutical Test 1 - Chapters 1 and 2
Status: I gave up writing notes so I am trying to cram everything into my head before 12 while watching America's Next Top Model (Cycle 5).
SPinnovex
Tomorrow is the start of the 3 day exhibition of our Final Year Projects! For the sake of my CCA points, I have to be a stupid tour guide for the visitors and show them around. The things I do for CCA points! tsk.
FYP Presentation Slides
Status: Find white professional looking templates! Do the slides! Read the report AGAIN! Need I say more?
Pharmaceutical Assignment 5
Just whip something crummy up to satisfy the 1% of my total marks.
Just now, I left my handphone at foodcourt 3. Then someone called Peter, who was sitting next to me at the meeting. He went "You just called me." Then I was like "I lost my hp!" The next thing I knew, the phone was off and I panicked. Ran all the way to Foodcourt 3 and thank god the kopi auntie kept it for me. *grinz* Hahahaha, I am a klutz. <_<
Anyway, after the meeting, went to meet Mikey for dinner at Jurong Point. Almost fainted of hunger while waiting for a table cuz this little kid was sipping his coke slowly and playing with the ice. *Rarrrrghhh* Then we went to Andersen's Ice cream and shared a triple scoop sundae with 2 cups of coffee! As a result, I missed Love Concierge! ( '-')
Oh, and for FYP presentation, I have decided to wear a black pants suit with jacket and a black with purple stripes blouse. For now. Thats the only thing that looks nice from my mummy's collection. She has suits that look great. But its in red, green and beige. I want a grey suit! noo!
Okay, gotta go study, tata.

Today is... *drumrolls* The season finale of Project Runway! No wonder Jay Carroll won, it was kinda obvious that his designs were the most unique and most beautiful. I had high hopes on Kara Saun, but somehow her designs didn't appeal to me much. Oh and Wendy, lets just say her clothes are typical. Its beautiful naturally, but typical. I have probably seen it on some celebrity or in some magazine, only in varying shades. GO Jay! *weet-u-weet* The only saddening part of the show was that Austin is already out. I would really love to see his runway show. He designs clothes that look like they are straight out of the magical barbie doll collection and they are so beautiful. He really has a great imagination.
Oh btw, in case you didn't notice, one of Wendy's design was censored by you-know-who because of nudity. No wonder it looks so blurry. HAHAHA.
While waiting for Project Runway to start, I had the chance (or rather the misfortune) to watch yet another "talent" search show, except that its for students. (No prize for guessing which) All I can say is *sigh*. With so many upcoming talent shows, I wonder if there are really that many talents in Singapore. Its like Miss Singapore Universe. The pretty ones are not participating, only the attention seeking ones.
Blah! To make another list of what I have to do:
Tsk, such a long list for 1 week. Oh well!

I wanna redesign my room! *Cries* It looks so.. so messy. I think the reason why I don't care about the mess is because I feel that my room just not belong to me. My most beloved possessions in my room are probably my PC and my bed. (Oh I love you so much bed *smooches*) The ugly shelves were put up despite my protests. The other bookshelves were those cheapo 3 for $50 type. *sigh* Not that I have anything against cheapo stuff. Thank god they can be decorated easily. Just don't have the mood to sort it out.
So ideas ideas.. some concept that I've come up with:
1. Tropical Rainforest Theme
Before you start thinking about trees, mushrooms and wild animals, I am just interested in the colour scheme. Inspired by Kexin (who said my room looks like a jungle) I am thinking of using a forest green colour with black vector art on the walls. Maybe I can repaint the wooden bookshelves to a darker wood colour. Ceiling can stay white though, just to brighten up the room. Sadly, my door and doorframe colour is a disgusting shade of blue whipped up by my dad who combined three half filled containers of blue, grey and white paint. Maybe I can convince him to change the colour for all the door frames! Something nicer, like.. Oh well, I'll think of something.
2. Psychedelic Retro Theme
Definitely PURPLE. Nice vibrant rich purple with orange and lime green swirls around. Maybe a nice furry small carpet in the middle. My new radio jukebox will fit in nicely. Still the same old door/doorframe problem. Nicer computer chairs! Okay, I'm out of ideas. Hopefully inspiration will strike me again.
So vote for your favourite theme and stand to win a 3 day 2 night stay at a luxurious resort on planet Jupiter! What? What do you mean by you don't know how to get there?

Its 1am and I'm still awake. Nope, not playing pocketful of stars. I may be a little mad but I'm definitely not insane. Just happened to switch on the television and saw this chinese show on Channel U.
Its about school life, although I suspect that it is a super old show due to the traditional values it was advocating and the hairstyle of the students. (Those super toot no parting type for guys XD) Anyway, these two students, a guy and a girl were selected to be the class representative for a language class. The guy was the stupid nerdy cute type with a low self-esteem. (Think Yoshikawa from GTO) The girl, on the other hand was more straightforward and more intelligent. (Hey! Like Anko from GTO too! Thats why they are a couple in that show >_>) Anyway, as all cliche school drama shows go, they sort of started to have feelings for each other as they had to study together to come up with notes for the class.
In comes the strict head discipline mistress who disapproves of any 15 year olds having a relationship. (She is too late, I had my first love at 13. ) To make things more tragic, there is the over protective mother who is equally bad. Luckily for them, they have a super cool and cute teacher.(Whom I suspect is Gu Tian Le) So how would this end?! Will it be a happy ending for our young protagonists? Or will the traditional values win out in the end? Aiya u ask me how I know, I continue watching then I tell you la. >_< *dodges flying tomatoes*
But truthfully, there was this phrase that the teacher said that put me off. "Students are too young for relationship and they should just do their jobs as students - to study and get good marks." Excuse me, I don't think we are robots. Studying and Working are similar. You get the same workload, the same type of stress, getting pushed around by people with more authority, getting shit from sadistic people who have more authority. Whats the difference? You don't get paid to study.
Or maybe I'm just too cynical. Nahh! <('-' <) <( '-' )> (> '-')>

My computer is up and running again! Cost me a bomb but it runs like a baby. Installing all my stuff again. Unfortunately, all my plant design, FYP and old assignments are gone. Teaches me to be more organised about my stuff. *Grumbles*
Anyway, enough of the bad news. Was really bored so I went back to the pocketful of stars game and guess what? I'm now 3rd! Someone has beaten my score *gasp* I'm now the 3rd most perverted person in this world!
Attached:
Ah well, maybe I'll try again tonight *winks*
Going for NTU talk tomorrow. Need to complete my Acetic acid part and the corrosion report. So I'll probably go to the library tomorrow as well. No more games! (Thats what I ALWAYS say... ) Was reading the SomethingAwful vs eBaumsworld thread in the SA forums. Its really quite funny and I have to say that eBaums deserved it. Go to www.ebaumsworldsucks.com for a funny flash animation that sort of explains why they are at "internet war".
Okay, going to 'nua' again. Mike sucks, he pangseh me today. -_- I'll get my revenge! muahahaha!

WARNING: Too much pocketful of stars can be harmful to your health
I should have listened to my initial instincts and not the evil Kexin, but nooo my resolve failed me.
Pharma class ended early today, so the twinies, Shuhui, Kexin and I decided to head over to the library to finish up some work. THAT WAS THE INITIAL PLAN! *growls at Kexin* The studious trio (obviously excluding me and SOMEONE >_>) did their Plant Design dilligently as Kexin and I were laughing hysterically at some indian guy from Maritime who was watching some really sexual bollywood film clip in the library. Thats right. In the library, in front of everyone. Inclusive of dancing around a nice big bed, clothings coming off piece by piece, R(21) kissing scenes and roaming hands everywhere. I'm pretty open minded but seriously, the library isn't the place to get horny over such stuff.
We finally got our computers and proceeded to log in, check mail, yadda yadda, usual stuff. Then Kexin decided to try her new mouse by playing Pocketful of stars from Orisinal.com. I should have paid more attention to the warning bells ringing in my head. Its a stupid game that is so ridiculously addictive, the ketamine of the cyberworld. It was not long after that I joined in as well. That was 3.30pm.
Fast forward to 5.00pm, this is the result:
My initial goal was to get 120 seconds on the clock. Then Kexin saw the high score and said that I just needed 10000 more to 59 000. So, when I finally reached that goal, Kexin said that the next highest is only 3000 more! And THAT was how I played until I got a high score of 123875. I could still carry on, but my head was hurting and I looked really pathetic playing this game alone in the library with the security guard staring behind my back. Oh, and just to add, whoever Bobo Lee is, he is disgustingly psychotic.
I really have to get my work done! If only I could earn money playing that stupid game, I wouldn't mind the throbbing headache it gave me. >_>
Oh and this entry is dedicated to Kexin who gave me the "inspiration" about what to blog. >_<

Announcement: One nightmare is over.
Despite this, its not over yet. There is still the presentation and not to forget, the plant design project. I have to admit, I have been pretty slack in the plant design project. Well, thats going to change! I will definitely try my best not to let my group mates down! Because they are the most wonderful groupmates and they definitely deserve it. School really is a neverending race to the finish, even if you don't plan to be the champion. But enough of school! Its time to let my hair down and relax, at least for this blessed night. Thank god for quiet nights for reflection.
Sometimes, I really feel that I am a terribly misunderstood person. Sometimes, I wanna feel sorry for myself. I know its true, that it doesn't pay to be nice. Why? Because when you are too nice, people take you for granted.
Let me tell you a story. It is a story about a little girl who believed in a fairytale. She always thought in the best interests of the people around her, often willing to sacrifice her own pleasures to help others. She doesn't need a reward, just appreciation. However, all she got in return was misery. The people in the village often took advantage of her kindness. Those whom she helped always had the idea that she had an ulterior motive in doing what she does.
One day, there was a terrible disaster in the village. A fire broke out in the middle of the night and set the entire fields on fire. The sheriff knew that the culprit had to be found soon to applease the anger of the villagers. Knowing that the villagers were a superstitious bunch of people, he decided to put the blame on the little girl, claiming that she was a witch who had often harboured vindicative thoughts about not getting a reward for her kindness. In the middle of the night, the girl was brought to the town centre and burned at the stake.
The girl wept, not knowing what she did wrong. Her cries of injustice reached the ears of an old man who have seen everything that has happened in her life. Taking her hand, he held her close, whispering words of consolation into her ear. When her cries subsided, the little girl looked up at him and asked him tearfully, "Please, tell me what crime have I commited that I had to die for it?"
"Nothing my dear child," the old man replied. "The only crime that you have commited was to be an idealist."
