The way to go

Was chatting with Caleb, Irene, Amita on our way home after our SS tutorial. Caleb was saying a lot about the virtue of sharing. I agreed on that. All of us should be sharing resources and be helpful ... all get it done with and graduate.

Great that we are all helping and supporting one another...

Now i'm starting to think that my ss group is goodie.

Happen to chance upon this

See how supportive fans are...

I seldom post clips online de, but i thought i should share this.

Where's the etiquette ?

Shocking that teachers-to-be dont know the most basic library rules. Normally my lappy vol only need to be set at 2. Today, i set at 8 liao i can still here the LOUD chitters-chatters... HAIYO ... leave the discussions to UID discussion rooms lar !

Not that i prejudice ... maybe thats becos today i'm at the 'mother tongue' level .... If i knew that i would have gone to level 3. FYI , lvl 3 of the lib has a cafe and it is not as noisy as this. Now cant move le lar, very difficult to get powerpoint for lappy de. Grrr....


(I just up my lappy vol to 10)

ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ....
JingRu is coming and i am Emo after watching the concert DVD.
UGH.

Woooo ~ 1 more week ya?

=D
Went to Masie's place earlier on to collect my limited edi and the dvd (cd out of stock so didnt manage to get it.) Xie lar masie and jason for lup-ing all the dvd-s and limited edi stuffs for us. I like the 造型 for this album. Pretty. Makes me having the urge to change all my colours frm green to yellow... just like wad i did for fishdreamsg(frm red to yellow)

Oh oh , just now xiaoying and kris opened one of their limit edi version, so i got a glimpse of wads inside, so i intend to keep it intact. Since its already signed so no need to let JR sign le .... BUT hor, Suchin says m'sia side they ordered 18 , 1 of it had defects. It happened to tw side too ... Heh , since i not opening, i just take it that mine is perfect. HAHA

Watched half of the tw concert le , tho i'd still prefer to have SG version lar! 怎么说我都很怀念Singapore de. (AHAHHA cos i didnt go TW :P No involvement, watch also dont feel the full impact) I think i prefer listening to wad ski had recorded during SG concert(tho the bass is a bit too loud and disruptive but its still nice. AND... its in my hp, so fang bian)

And i am suay , my dvd de case crack de lor! I shld have checked properly before taking that. I really suay, just now on the table so many copies, i tio the spoilt one. SO , i gonna buy 1 to replace. Anyway initially i tot of buying 3 cds and 3 dvds... think i will only buy 2 cds afterall , will buy more dvds ba. More worthwhile. DVD version includes the cd too anyway . (SO clever of them to launch the cd version first. LOL) This time i think i wont buy as much copies as chongbai/yanweidie ba ... (hopefully...heh weak grin)

(OH btw wo jue ding and sheng ming zhong bu neng cheng shou de qing, i prefer bu neng cheng shou de qing....nice choice to put it in chongbai album! Wo jue ding sounds weird. the wei yin is not as round-ed.)


12 sept..... YAY!
i might not be able to jie ji , cos i got lessons.... SADDENED. Its my "n" times for not appearing for jie ji le =(

Jason's Blog is Poisonous

Whenever i go in, the poison hits me.

Becos of that i'm poisoned once again.

It is not ME ... Its the weather...

My kor said i passed the bug to him. Janice said i passed the bug to her too ... eh and many others who got close to me these few days ended up sniffing,coughing and sleeping. Maybe i did pass them the bug lar since my condition is q. bad. BUT! i think most of it got to do with the w.e.a.t.h.e.r... downpour-->Scorching sun-->downpour again-->cycle continues. If i am not wrong, there are many strangers out there are also suffering the same symtoms of flu,cough and fever. See? Its not Jin's bug spreading, its the 'showing tantrum weather' ... :P

*Jin suspects that her bug-(s) came from her mother. Cos her mum was the one who caught the bug first. Dang!

Lenovo Thinkpad T61

Bought my lappy couple of days ago. I'm such a lazy person, i really enjoy the convenience of a lappy. Years ago, no matter how heavy my toshiba was, i still "lup" it with me. After i grad frm NUS, mr toshiba decided to retire too. With the lost of mr toshiba, i feel as tho i am slightly handicapped without my lappy. Now that i've a new mr lenovo, muahahahahahahahahahaha i feel that i can just be online 24/7. Will "lup" it to school, to living room to every corner of the house and sch! (No need to confine myself in my room using that old pc.) I am very happy with mr lenovo now. See my desktop and msn messenger and eh windows' colour... All in shades of orange. Orange and black just wouldnt go wrong. Sut. Girlish yet not so. Hur ....

What makes me so happy with mr lenovo is that, my bro spotted the same lenovo-s at the IT fair and apparently i bought it at a cheaper price than that. (This shows that comex doesnt really mean it is REALLY cheap...so it's better to do prior research.) Anyway i feel that the best thing to get frm comex will always be printers. =)

Trust

Many years ago i had this particular close friend who betrayed my trust and things turn out quite badly after that. Tho when everything has resolved, it seemed to be a misunderstanding afterall since he said that his mouth was closed all along. The question within me remained as I only told one person and that was him, impossible that others got to know. Anyway, it doesnt matter now whether he did or did not betray my trust, i've already bear the consequences and being hurt tremendously. I didnt know whether a word of promise means nothing to him or its just that he couldn't be bothered that there was a degree of seriousness in it OR he wanted gains from knowing something from me. Well i ruled out the 3rd possibility cos i still think that he is not that kinda person so i think its the 2nd possibility. He might have blurt out during casual conversation without knowing the seriousness that will thus lead to it and indeed, many unhappy incidents happened. Becos of the incidents, even when we 'patched' back, its no longer the same. And now, no longer in contact.

--> I really trusted that friend of mine and think that he is not that sort who will go around gossiping but how can i trust him when info did leak out and i did really only tell him and things REALLY got worse and i am being hit the most?

Therefore, i'm very sensitive to such issues. If you want to say something about someone to another person, make sure you spell everything out without leaving any ambiguous comments w/o verification. In fact, before telling a third party, we should always remember whether or not it will have its consequences.

Oh to that i hate hypocrites too. There are people out there who think this way and acted another way.

For example: A is sick, B knows( A had already told B what sickness A is suffering from), in turn tells C about it, also quoting a prior experience so C takes it as it is fake. So C assumes that it is not true yet they stil have the cheeks to ask A how A is feeling. How hypocritical.

I find it hilarous when reading C's text this morning when i woke up : " Wah .. I just heard from B that you could foresee weeks ago you'll be sick today ye, heh.."

Reading the text gives us a few indications:
1) C is being sarcastic (Wah... Heh....)
2) C confirms that A is not sick (You could foresee weeks ago that you'll be sick today...)
Sickness is something someone cant foresee, somemore 'weeks ago'.
3) C is not concern with the health of A and the recovery of A proves the point that C confirmed that A is not sick.

Of course i didnt want to read between lines but that is the least implications i've gotten from a simple text.

To clear up misunderstandings, A decided to reply to C stating that A is really sick. C in return replied that C understands cos C has gone through it too, 'its more of the tired feeling right?'. Ahems, it seems that C is not only assuming but confirmed that A is not sick.(Feeling tired is not a sickness!) A sees no point in replying anymore.

Sometimes A wonders what B has told C exactly that leads to C's confirmation that A is really not-sick when A is. B just dont know what A meant by seriousness but A refuse to spell everything out. Perhaps B just feel that A's definition of 'seriousness' is A not feeling goodie from the comments made. But, do see a bigger picture. A sees no point in talking it out with B as B already think A is being unreasonable and couldnt be bothered by it.

This just shows how words get across, fractured.

The End.
Its raining again and i hate it.

I'm still pretty much alive...

Looking at my eyebags, its not difficult to see that yea, i'm still lacking of sleep.

Anyway, tho it has been a lack of updates here, i'm pretty much alive lar.

After 1 mth of 'back-to-school' life, i've fallen sick last weekend due to the inability to adapt to the early mornings,late nights plus the-going-hungry-everyday timetable. Its just the adjustment i need i guess.

Have been lazing around at home for several weekends, olympics-chasing at the same time. Tonight will be watching the closing as well. As usual, my favourite event is still the gymnastic(women), USA's Shawn Johnson is goodie. Table tennis is nice to watch but i dont quite like the idea of it being dominated by chinese players, not very exciting to see chn top 1,2,5 fighting among themselves w/o having any worthy opponent who has the potential to challenge them. Maybe Feng Tian Wei in the future, but heh while u're improving, others too... We never know... ball is round.

So yea, tho i still support the Singapore Team, at the same time i enjoy watching jpn's Fukuhara Ai (cos she is media attractive), Chn's Zhang Yi ning (She is really good lor!) and Kor's Kim Kyung Ah playing(her defensive skill goodie).

k my entry is kinda random... going to end it soon....

Hurray! I finally bought Fanfan's compliation - Faces of Fanfan. It has been more than a mth since the release and i just gotten it yesterday. I have all the songs since i've been collecting her cds(except for the new songs), so not really in a hurry to purchase it, hence the delay. Anyway, ya her songs are nice and soothing... =) simple YET it is not easy to sing.

k thats it for now.

I'm going to be REAL busy meeting all the proj DEADLINES starting Sep...

Looking forward to Dec... my turkey trip ...

Priceless

Didnt really blog about how i felt and what i did for my last day @ SHPS. Well, i think alot of emotions are beyond words. I received cards, hugs, farewell lunch, presents etc from colleagues, students as well as parents. I am really touched by everything that has happened and its really a blessing to meet those who i've met during my 2 years there. Last Thursday, i had a day off from NIE, i brought curry puffs back to visit my fellow ex-comrades. Then mag, the admin staff passed me a card. I find it strange as it was not address to me.


And , it is a surprise, something that is priceless.

It says :

Dear (P's name)

I wish to convey my thanks and appreciation to ms (my name) who is a dedicated and industrious teacher to class (my class). She makes classroom teaching fun and interesting.My daughter, (student's name), is full of praises for ms (my surname) , she enjoys learning in her class.Ms (my surname) is indeed a kind and wonderful teacher and is every child's dream of a teacher. Class(my class) greatly miss her. A big thank you and may the lord bless ms ( my surname)

From: (Parent's name)

My motivation to be a better person and yes, teacher. This kept me happy for days and i always find chance to share this happiness too!

Minty Green Little 'Fella'

Besides the sleeping bugs, this green fella is Jin's best travelling mate from the East to the West.

Jin's day with her 'puddies'

This, is reporter Jin. She is not a host/assistant chef/gourmet/gamer, nothing but herself. She is going to pen down her one-day gathering with her Sec Sch "puddies", famous-'ly' known to be the glamourous TLT.

Jin couldnt really remember how the word 'puddies' came about but it's definitely linked to the root word - buddy(ies). Probably someone has pronouced it wrongly and it became a joke of the 4 entire years in Jin's sec sch days and slowly it evolved into their commonly used language. Jin suspects that the person who left this 'legacy' behind, is highly possible to be Chris, the one who never fails to 'entertain' us with her unintention thoughts/talks/actions. Anywaym thats besides the point. Lets get back to the mini pre-planned gathering.

Oh ya to start off, it'll be good to name who are the puddies who were there for the gathering. Ling the social worker, Chris the property valuer and Sing the account executive. Not to forget, the multi-role reporter Jin.

Last Saturday, Jin has to wake up early to have this buffet. According to Sing, the very $ sensitive person.(eh...cos of her job hor, not character.), says that it is always more worthwhile to be there and stay throughout the whole 3 full buffet hours. Going there late will deprive us of good food. Oh btw, the buffet comes with 1 serving of buddha jump over the wall or shark's fin (choose 1 ) and the lobster dumpling. Yummy... tho i thought the lobster eh taste and looked more like big prawns. Well... lobster is kinda prawn also la huh.

Eat and eat. Jin and the rest are more interested in eating than taking photos of every single food served. So, reporter Jin only capture a few here and there. Jin's favourite is the prawns with wasabi sauce. The prawns are big and Q. It almost taste like 'fake' prawns(according to singsing... cos the prawns are too perfect to be real you see.) And most important factor, Jin loves anything that has something got to do with wasabi. Dang! Now u catch the hint? Dump her all wasabi stuffs and you'll make her happy. Easily contented. Seriously, women.

Residing at the top-est 37th storey of pan pac hotel, you get the bird's eye view of the surroundings. Now you get an idea why it is called Hai-Tien-Lo. At/On this Lo(storey), you get the spectacular view of the Hai(sea) and the vast blue Tien(sky) Again, according to Sing, when they were planning the architecture design of this restuarant, they thought of making it to rotate, so we get to enjoy 360 degrees worth of scenery while we eat.(Better than Singapore Flyer right?Haha)We can have great plannings, but doenst mean that it will be feasible/executed. Anyway, it didnt happen afterall. Unfortunately, it has got to do with some miscommmunication somewhere with the contractors. Awwwwww ...

Have a break, have a kit-kat? The slogan of this kit kat advertisment is so successful that after years and years and years and years since the broadcast, Jin can still remember the panda in the advert, inserted with this slogan and she thought it is q. rhyming and easy to remember. Anyway, yea reporter Jin tend to digress. So ya, we took photos while we are having the 'stomach' break. A small break is vital for a better indulgemce devour later on.... HAHAHAHA .

Happen to sit beside each other, Jin and Ling took q. a number of photos. They are the 2 which will not think of image just to pose for the food. Who on earth will take a photo with the prawnies in a high class restuarant? Well, they will and they did. Hur.

Tada! Even fruits are not being spared by the 2 of them. No matter wad... happiness is of utmost importance. So, watever it is, just smile it your way ! Cheers !

Well, this is NOT trying to mimick S.H.E. It is really purely a candid shot by Jin. Jin finds it nice. The position, the way they stand, hmmmm just right for the reflection. We cant see their facial expression anyway, so perhaps that add on to why Jin finds this picture nice. (Dont read too deep between lines, Jin is just trying to say that normally for candid shots, people are not ready so if there are expressions, they must be distorted.)

Group photo of the fellow puddies. What's up with the hand sign seriously? Like seriously. Sing came up with the idea tho. So yea puddies, we love each other.

This pic, looks like part of a Jap skin product commercial. What do you think?

Oh after the meal, they went to watch X-files, drank at Wang Jiao and finally to esplanade after the show...then lastly back to panpac for a drink. Yep...

Reporter Jin is tired. Think she'll end here.

For the whole canteen

My kor always say that i cook for the whole canteen when there are only 3 of us. I used to tell him that thats becos i'm too used to big family. He, too is very exaggerating when he buys "light" snacks home for the family. It turns out that it will not be "light".

A good thing about the 3 of us is that tho we may be seen as rather dependent on mummy, we can still be independent. How many of you out there will continue to cook, wash dishes, do laundry, vaccum house when ur parents are away for a short trip? Maybe for the chores, most pple will still do it but i dun think pple will cook their own dinners when ta-bao is so easily and needless to say, available. (I am refering to single-s....)

Few days ago, my kor asked me this question. He was asking why other friends of his and mine, know nothing about cooking. (minus the part on cooking instant noodles ... ahems.) I told him thats because we are expose to handling food when we were at a very young age. And then he said that our mum did not really teach us. We just hang around, talking to her while she's cooking in the kitchen. .....Hmmmmmm now i know. Its becos we're so attached to our mum and with her being a working adult,the only time we could really talk to her is when she is cooking. LOL ...SO, we build up our gossips and relationship in that stuffy kitchen of ours. Handling is really not difficult at all if u DARE to do it. The reason y i used the word DARE and bold it, is because pple always give ridiculous reason(s) on why they cant cook... Some of the reasons are :

1) I am afraid of the raw smell.(Esp seafood)
2)I dont know how to hold a knife properly, will cut myself. (Eh do u know how to hold a pencil when u were born? =O )
3) The oil will scald me. (wont die la....seriously, its not really that painful...u wont even need a plaster.)
4) I dont know how much seasoning to put. (use ur mouth to taste and nose to smell lor... thats y we had our 5 senses mah)

ok and the list goes on ... there are thousand and one reason y one doesnt like/want to do anything.

*Whipping up with a few home cooked dishes for a normal dinner is not really difficult. (lol, we're not talking abt restuarant standard or special dishes)

So........
next time round i gonna use the kitchen as a window for me to enter my children's heart&minds too. hurhurhur

I MISS SHPS

I MISS SHPS

We ... Wii ... Weeeee ~

Ling, Sing and Xing went to Jin's house yesterday. (woo the names rhymes.) They met at 1.15pm to buy steamboat stuffs @ the giant GIANT near Jin's place. By the time they finished marketing, its already 3pm. =O Women.

Being an experienced assistant cook and a good host, Jin marinated and got ready all the food stuffs while the rest were trying out the games. Laughters. Hur. Wii is a game full of laughters... Here are some of the photos taken using my k800. Eh oh , ya and i created a [Mii] for all of them too.


This, is how they look like when we are living in the virtual reality. Didnt manage to capture Sing's look tho. Cute right? Hurhurhur. All of them really had fun wii-ing, tho its at the expense of gettiing shoulders' ache. Anyway, its also a form of hur, exercising ah ! Jin is pretty sure that they wouldnt mind a second session anytime soon.

Tada! Jin always wants things to look organised, so the layout of the food, must be arranged neatly too! Jin's kor was saying that we had lotsa food stuffs. HAHA ! Oh and yea, the meat was really tender ! Jin was proud of it. Hey porkie meat! Thanks for being so delicious.

"Hello?"... "Harlow" ... "Wei" .... All :""Eh Jin... are u there? ! ""
Hurhurhur alright they are actually playing a game and the controller is supposedly their handphone. Dang!

Due to that ton-ing was not part of Sat's plan, Ling, Sing and Xing left Jin's house at 11.30pm after eating the dessert-mini poopers.

Tho its hard to blog everything down...

是好玩、好笑和好开心的咯!

Jin would also like to thank the trios for accompanying her while her parents are not in SG.

Leisure :: Entertainment.

Yea, finally ... this coming thur going to watch red cliff. Am always interested in the battling of the wits between the 三国. I sorta have q. a high expectation on this film after hearing so much of the reviews frm the critics. (somemore this movie ...v. heavy investment lor!)

Then, this saturday thought of getting pple to my hse to play Wii. Since i've bought the Nintendo Wii, my 2 brothers had already invited their friends over. I have not. Taking the opportunity that my parents wont be in SG this saturday, its a right time ! Probably can also eat steamboat lor. Go giant buy stuffs. (Giant is so near my hse anyway.) Didnt really want it a BIG thing. Just want a few cosy friends over. muahahaha, not to forget gossips lar... hurhurhur.

Oh and then on the 26 Jul, will be going back to panpac for buffet again. This time round, we decided to try the chinese restuarant. (Since lynn is only keen in going to keyaki, we shall go to HTL before she returns back to SG.) Probably somewhere in Aug, we'll go to yet another feast at keyaki.

Need those fun to perk me up.
Eeks somemore last night i had a bad dream. BAH! (realistic de lor)
Cant wait to leave SHPS. (eh not that i dont like the sch and its not that i am SO looking forward to my nie new life..... ITs just that, i hate to do relief ! )

ok. i shld be happy with all the upcoming activities, provided that there are no sudden disappointments. Dang!

最后的疼爱... 是手放开

Sometimes, when we are helping others to solve problems, we really get to see our own problems surfacing out. Its so frustrating when we know how to handle it as a bystander and yet getting lost when we are facing it. Why isnt things are always not as easy as it seems? Songs really reflect one's life.

I just want it simple.

(eh i really hate selfish pple. Bah ! )

sometimes we really dont need to have expectations
cos things always turn out to be opposite
and it will fall short of our expectations.


It's always easier to let go then to stubbornly clinging on.
Gambate neh

Jin's new Toy.

Yes, i am keeping a series of them. To date, i have the red one, the orange and the 2 green ones... with this, Dan Dan , i have a total of 5 . Heh. Simply cant resist its cuteness lar.

Erm... saw XuanXuan's photo too so decided to post it. She, is also too cute to resist. Hen cute hor ? Since Pingping is my da jie.... so xuan2 is my niece? Hahaha... very cute and obedient. Oh.... and a bit Jie Pi ... likes being clean. hurhurhur but her mother always say that its cos she has not shown her true colours yet. LOL)
