Jiro's so cute here! ^-^
Taken when he was holidaying in Japan
Look at the Stitch!
He seems to never fail to have Stitch with him wherever he goes. Haha.


Ok, ok. No more digressing. -.-
Back back back to the horrid truth and the brutal reality.
1 paper (BV) down, 2 more to go (CL Com & Patho).
But lately, a lot of things happened.
I've been like 'Hello, can I rant?' and when given the green light, I start ranting and releasing my surge of emotions like there's no tomorrow. ._.
Hence you can imagine my progress in mugging; almost ZERO and I'm like nowhere.
Barely halfway thru' for CL Com and have not even started on Patho.
I ought to be worrying, panicking like crazy but instead, I seem to be escaping from the painful jaws of reality hoping I won't have to face it.
Sometimes I really wish I could disappear from the phase of this Earth, just to avoid it all.
Ok, but that's gonna make me a coward and that's not what I want to see myself as.
So hang in there, Mic.
Cos you know..
You're gonna make it thru', somehow..

Saturday, 20 February 2010 - CNY visit to Nydia and Isaac's house!


SAM_0753

This girl was so easily contented with her bubble blowing, making all of us can't stand it cos it's like she was deprived of a childhood. Hahaha..



SAM_0754

Gaven, Mic & Nydia!



SAM_0755

Bye, Gaven! :P It's just me & Nydia.



P2200136

The food prepared by Nydia's Dad for all their guests..



SAM_0774

Nydia's adorable nephew and niece!



SAM_0782

SAM_0783

Gambling time.. I didn't play with money cos I don't gamble. :)



SAM_0786

Group shots!

Impromptu visit to Isaac's house after Nydia's. Haha..


PS: My hair was so messy that day.

PSS: Nydia & Pam didn't realise I'm already w/o braces though I've been off them since OCT LAST YEAR? D:

PSSS: An addition of 2 angbaos to my current collection made it total up to a 'Perfect 10'. (LOL. But it's still very pathetic, I know. :( Haha.)

Anyhow, I had a great time with everyone though I didn't stay for very long at Isaac's house. Left earlier with Cheryl cos she had to be home for dinner with her fam and as for me, my mum also wanted me home before dinner time.

Argh, shit. I'm not even half done with my BV revision and there's only 1 day left to the start of exams. I seem to be more occupied with every other thing than studying. Should stop digressing and get back on track. OFF I go now.. BYE!




20 February 2010

Did a belated Valentine's gifts exchange with the girls on Thurs, 18 Feb. :)
Thank you, Geraldine for the present!

Look at the happy faces.. Haha.

Qiao Yan received my gift but isn’t in the photo cos she had to leave earlier for work. :( But it’s ok cos I’ve got a photo of the present I bought her. Hehe..


Photo2569

All heart-shaped stuff! Very cliched right?



Photo2573



Didn’t do a very good job in picking the present but I went all the way to town to just to buy it and went home after that. o.o” After that, I heard from Sherlyn that she & Zub bought theirs only at Lot 1 and I felt so noob. Hahaha.. Anyway, it’s the thought that matters and I love these girls. So sad everyone’s gonna be in diff classes in the coming Year 3.. :(




19 February 2010

Arranged with Reenie to collect my epop mag (CNY issue featuring Fahrenheit!) on Tues.
Ended up slacking at her house for a while till dinner time and headed to Yew Tee with her to get our dinner and ingredients cos she had the sudden urge to make Cornflake Honey Joys.
As usual, she's always so impromptu! Haha.
So off we went, bought our dinner home, ate and started on our baking. :)

I brought a few to sch yesterday; yes, just a few cos some of them were too oily. Apparently, we’d already put in lesser butter than stated in the recipe so I’ve no idea why it still ended up quite oily. However, the taste was pretty good! Sweet taste; combination of honey + sugar. Hahaha.

Anyway, my CNY this year was quite a mundane one. Only ONE visit to maternal grandma’s house and that was it. :( Nothing interesting, very few ang baos (as usual) and no steamboat! :( :(I haven’t had steamboat in a while; am really craving for it. Sad.. But I am thankful for my maternal grandma. the only grandparent I have left as the rest have all passed on. So happy I could once again, savour the mee sua she prepares for my family w/o fail every CNY. Will pray that She’ll be healthy and there’ll be many more years I’ll get to enjoy the food she cooks.

Final prac test for CL Fitting today. I was keeping my fingers crossed and who knew I’d get Sean Lee, again? This is already the 3rd time I’m having him as my examiner. But am glad he is always lenient to me though I always make laughable mistakes during the prac tests. :X And it’s his birthday today but it was such a pity that he didn’t turn up for the class to celebrate with him! Anyway, I’m so sad Class 03 is gonna be splitted up in no time at all. Will miss all the awesome people I’ve had as classmates for 2 good years. :(

Went to catch the movie ‘Valentine’s Day’ with Li Min, Bing Yang, Ella & Hui Hui just now. It’s quite a good movie, I must say. At least it kept the tired me awake for the entire 2 hrs or so. Ok, I’m gonna end here. Will be retiring to bed earlier tonight cos I’m.. really tired! D: Must really chiong like mad for BV starting tmr or else I’ll never be able to reach my target.

Last CNY visit to Nydia's house tomorrow ~




13 February 2010

Finally.
2 weeks of struggle is over.
The week before I had 4 tests and this week, 6.
And there's 1 more to go; yes, on the coming week of CNY. :(
Plus I've got to churn out my Letter of Introduction for ITP by Thurs.
DOPT people are always being deprived of a life man, seriously. ._.
Anyway, I'm glad to have cleared off most of the load so I can finally take some time to update my blog now.

Last Fri, I went with Reenie to Joe Cheng 郑元畅's Autograph Session at Bt Panjang Plaza.
The crowd was quite remarkable, considering that the venue is quite out of the way.
There were even fans from Japan!
And he was awesome, though he only sang 1 song.
We were standing right in the middle from the stage and up on the barricades so while singing & dancing he actually looked into my direction a couple of times. Aww.. :D
His height made him so noticeable and he has a boyish charm; definitely looks better in person though he already is handsome onscreen. Haha.

Reenie & I decided to write our names on our lyrics booklet cos we were saying who knows, he might just write our names on the booklet?
However, apparently his company didn't allow that and in fact they said no photography when on stage (that's still reasonable) and no handshake which was like WTH?!
But Joe was very nice, greeting every fan who went up on stage with a smile and even as he was signing on their booklets, he didn't just look down but maintained eye contact and said a few words to him/her. :)


P2050276

P2050311


When it was my turn, he saw my name on the lyrics booklet and the conversation went like this:

郑元畅 : *Looks up, smiling*“你好~ 美璇”
[PS: He called my name out loud; pronounced it very clearly and distinctively in his Taichung slang that I can still replay it in my head now! :D]

Me: *Smiles looking stunned* before I could reply “你好~”
He then proceeded to sign on my lyrics booklet.

郑元畅:“谢谢你的支持~” *Stretches his left hand out for a handshake accompanied with a smile*

Me: “加油~ 谢谢!Bye bye!”

郑元畅: “Bye bye!”

I wanted to smile naturally but my smile was as though it was plastered to my face that I hardly had control over it. LOL. Must have looked like an idiot then.
Actually, I’ve forgotten the exact words I exchanged with him on stage because I was seriously too stunned and almost at a complete loss for words so can’t really recall anything now. I only remember very clearly what HE said to me. Hahaha.
Anyhow, he is very friendly!

Ok, will end off with some pictures..

Something I suddenly thought of today; that might be useful to others or even myself in future.
But you may beg to differ from my point of view, though.

爱一个人 不代表一定要占有他

看到他拥有属于自己的幸福 你应该为他感到快乐的 不是吗?

爱一个人 有时只能在他身边默默的付出 不能要求什么回报

不过只要能继续无时无刻地当他的守护天使 这也许已经够了 对吧?

Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean having to possess that someone.
Seeing that someone having his/her own happiness, you should be happy for him/her, shouldn't you?
By loving someone; at times we can only be by their side to give but can't expect any reciprocation.
However, so long as we can continue being their guardian angel at all times, perhaps that's already enough, am I right?



I'm off to continue studying!
Bye ~

L O V E

What is being in love all about?
Why does this simple 4-letter word have an underlying complexity so great that it's way beyond my level of comprehension?

Q: Have I been in a r/s before?
A: No.

Q: Have I truly liked someone enough to say I love him?
A: No.

Crushes? Of course I've had them.
But truly having liked someone? The answer is a resounding 'NO'.
People keep telling me the same things so much so it's all cliched already.

''You just haven't met the right person.''

''Your expectations are too high."

and blah..

But are these really true?
People may set a certain standard when it comes to what their ideal type of boy/girlfriend should be like.
But in actual fact, when you fall for someone, you don't really need a reason for it am I right?
When you love someone, you simply love them for who they are. And that's all to it.
(PS: Correct me if I say anything wrong since I'm sucha noob.)
You can come up with a list of 101 qualities you'd like your boy/girlfriend to possess.
But when you really get together with that someone, frankly speaking, how many of these qualities will he/she even possess?
More often than ever, it'll be just a few.. or perhaps even NONE at all.

So..
I can conclude it's not about my expectations.
Of course, I always reiterate..
I won't accept guys who smoke, have tattoos, are habitual drinkers, fool around and etc.
But I believe I'm not the only one?
This is not about setting high expectations.
It's all about my own principles.
Everyone has their own set of principles; I have mine too and I stand firm on it.

I guess you could say I just haven't met the right person.
But seriously speaking, this 'right' person doesn't apply to everyone, does it?
If it does apply, there'll be no one who's single all of his/her life already.
So..
I should just say..
I haven't met someone who's able to touch my heart and whom, likewise, I also am able to reciprocate.
That's it.

Sometimes it's all about fate.
It's either you get it or you don't and never will.
And no, don't get the wrong idea.
Not that I'm unhappy with singlehood.
I'm happy and contented with the way things are at present.
I just feel lousy whenever people come pouring their heart out to me about love or r/s probs YET I am unable to put myself in their shoes simply because I can't comprehend a thing about it.
Anyone knows how that feels?
Tell me about it.
I feel like a noob and a tortoise who has been hiding in its shell for 19 years.
Someone, anyone..
Could you enlighten me on this, please?

PS: Sorry, friends. I can't be of any help whenever you guys confide in me about your problems in love and relationships. But should any of you need a listening ear, I promise to always be there to hear though I can't offer much in return.

And sorry for this random post.
Guess I just got pretty overwhelmed.
Ok, no more dwelling on this issue for the time being.
For now, studies are my top priority!
CLs Fitting!
GO, Mic! :)
