The little things in life. =)

Well, 2009 reflection can wait, let's confront the matter at hand first. SHERLOCK HOLMES IS SUPREME. omg. I have been wanting to watch this movie since it came out in the cinemas! So this morning, i hopped out of bed and checked out the movie's show time first thing in the morning! Yes! Before i even peeed! =D Then VOILA! I was in the cinema half an hour later to catch the show! =D I deliberately chose a seat in the centre of the first unoccupied row counting from the back of the cinema. =) WOOSH! Good experience! It felt like i had the cinema all to myself! =)) At first glimpse of the poster, i guess anyone with a little background of the story will be taken aback by how different the characters look from their traditional outline. I was too, initially. However, if you had a little more background in this story- if you read the books- you will realise that this movie is perhaps one of the most accurate portrayal of Holmes and Watsons. You really have to read the books yoursel...

Dear blog, long time no see. =D haa, to my immense surprise, i just realised that this blog still has some tiny traffic once in awhile! it's sweet to know that u can be gone but not forgotten. =) touched. But let that go both ways- i rmb who my friends are too. We may not be in touch, but nobody is ever forgotten. How do u forget your time with a person? It kinda hurts though, when i get not one, but a few feedback telling me that they think i'm too busy to be contacted to go out. Do friends think that way? I wonder. I'm not naturally somebody who asks others out or organises outings. I'm dont mean to sound obnoxious or self important; but if nobody initiates a meetup with me, then we probably wont meet up. Such things simply doesnt come to me as naturally as it does to others. If i have nothing to do, then- i pretty much just have nothing to do. There has never been such a thing as "hmm, im bored. let me jio someone out." i didnt grow up in a system where i h...

Am taking a break from mugging. Just in case i forget, let me record down 2 very heartwarming and adoring incidents yesterday. =) 1) It was yet another day on the semi-peak hour train back home. Everything was exactly the way they should be: no seats, people redefining grab poles as lean poles, semi-clubbing kind of crowdedness that makes me wanna whip out my fone and play a song, hoping to see everyone bounce to the music. (Now, that would really be a sight wouldn't it? =D). So yes, a typical journey back home. However, there was something atypical about this situation. Or rather, there was an atypical character present at this situation. there was- a toddler boy. Correction: there was-a very adorable- toddler boy with his family. (now that i am recalling this, i must say, shame on the Singaporeans who didnt have enough initiative to give up their seats to this family. the 1st thing i heard when i got on the train, was this: "no no no no no~". lol, that was the boy's...

sucks. really bad. (i would click "strikethrough" here if i could. just to appear like a teenage emo,like i wanted to when i keyed in www.blogger.com instead of atomic absorption spectrometry. -but i can't. =/) I'm in the midst of completing a lab report that is due tmr.. and i am in dire need of a brain break. so, here i am. School has just redefined the term draining. The trail of assignments, reports, projects, and tests run as long as the Nile river does flow. And my brain is stretched as thin as keira knightley can get. I shan't even begin to list out the schedule for the upcoming few weeks, it's oddly demoralising. Sometimes, we meet with a setback in life that shows us just how small we are. Sometimes, these setbacks are the things that opens your eyes to your own shortcomings, and brings you out of the small shrouded Nirvana of yours, -or mine for that matter. I am seriously lagging behind the standard of the class. i can hardly answer my assignment ...

Wow, it's been many many years since i started this blog thingy. This same address that has never changed throughout the years. This blog is a little reflective of my own personal evolution. From the times of it's birth- when it's trendy to have blogs, and beautifully designed blogskins from blogskins.com.- Those were the times during my secondary school years, when all i had on my mind was fitting in, leading the pack, being cool and one of a kind. conflicting indeed- puberty years. Then- the next era saw me venture to create my own blogskins. My own period of renaissance, when i tried to be a creator. when I (still) wanted to be special and more than the average kid. When i wanted very much to boast what i can do. Looking back: some of the designs were really not bad. reflective of my interests in anime and celebrities. More of anime actually. Some of the designs, really sucked though. But i distinctly remember being equally proud of all my "works". HAHA, picass...

this is the 100th post for the blog. Well, since everybody always do some kind of reflection thingy when their blog reaches a landmark millenium, i decided... that i shall... heck it. =) life is crazy nowadays. Thr's damn a lot to do it seems. i still feel like i procrastinate and slack on some days (completely) and feel dead guilty,

ok, nerds are callled nerds for a reason. =D i've had 3 most enjoyable day, but the 1st thg on my mind is still: OH MY GOSH. I FINALLY SAW THE END OF EXAMS. time really flies, i'm no longer a freshman! come 3 yrs time and i'll be looking forward to graduation. amazing. As much as i wish to say i can take a break and relax, but i can't. My plate is full; my to do list is running long. yuckyuckyuck. Got college day coming up most immediately. need to do up a speech to introduce the new valedictorian for this year. for pac, we have a lot of house keeping matters to settle. need to start exposing huayuan to all the teachers, need to start handing over matters to the juniors. for rag. WAH LAO i completely slacked for rag k. my float prototypes and designs r not up. havent contacted my sub comms. JIA LAY JIALAT JIALAT, have to start planning! 1st up on my list is to do a timeline all the way until rag day. JIAYOU SK! Spent 3 very enjoyable days with jenny!! =) yay! 1st day: w...

New start in a different sense this time. I did it! I called Jenny and told him the two things on my mind. 1. about the phone call at night. 2. about telling ah jiang stuffs i shouldnt have told him. RU SHI ZHONG FU. =) HUGE relief. Judging from my response, it's quite obvious it didnt go badly at all.. =) my maybe wasn't just a maybe. it was truth. =) yay. I just realised, i used to give ppl the benefit of doubt and think the best of them. Meaning which, my maybes will ALWAYS be truths. Along the way i lost this habit. Time to get it back!!! Jenny must feel so hurt that i should be thinking the worst, not the best of him, everytime he does something. Even i feel damn sad thinking about it like that. =/ It's a new beginning! I'm going to carve out a new beginning for myself, him, and our relationship. OPERATION FREEDOM is still on! =) I'M ON! Cheer for me yo! SK's COMING TO THE HOUSE YO! =D I'm back. HAH. TOODLE DUMS, sk p/s: excerpt from phone convo. ...

Maybe i should start blogging again. Blogging has always been hovering in the back of my mind for a long time now. I just took a quick skim through my old posts; including the ones on my private blog (Not so private now that I've announced it. But I figured that what i wanted to hide in the past doesn't really need to be hidden.). I realise that i have indeed changed much in terms of character- i used to be so strong; i used to be so cheerful; i used to be so clear minded. --------------------------------------- Why blog? In the past it was partly for entertainment, to look cool, to boast my english standard, (though i know there's nothing to boast about lol) etc. Now, with the comfort that people take that my blog is dead, i think i can safely say i blog for the comfort of organising my thoughts logically. A lot has been going on in my mind for the past few months. Or more aptly put: a lot has been going on in my mind for the past year, ever since i got into a relationship...

I am here to offer anyone who reads this blog a fresh definition of the word: PROCRASTINATION. i wrote the post below at the end of the previous year. it's my usual habit to wrap up a year and look forward to the next one on my blog. When i was single, lonely and w/o much freedom, this is what i did to quell away the lonesome feelings on new year's eve. I did this last year, but didn't manage to complete it then. VOILA! it's been a year now and i STILL havent gotten down to doing it. I shall leave the post as it was and post it now. So to however is reading and to SK2010, the next time you tell urself "i have got no time to do this now. let's stash it and come back later.", please slap urself immediately and finish whatever you are doing first. because more often than not, the "stashed aways" dont get done- like this post. RMB THAT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello 2009. Goodbye 20...

It's been eons since i last posted something on this blog. Indeed, my url history even lost the address of this site lol... well, Goodbye 2008. you sucked. In some ways. =D Alrights, well 2008 was defnitely a year of changes for me. CHANGE. And you bet it was a year that went flying past before you can even get a hold of things! I'll bet that is a sentiment shared by many. Well, here goes the uninteresting narration of my take on 2008. i shall title this, change. The year started out with everybody leaving the comforts of school and embracing the new found work life, and for me, the additional freedom. I started the year as a relief teacher at Swiss Cottage Secondary School. I must say, being a complete stranger in a completely new environment is really an eyeopener. It was an experience that exposed me to a school of a different culture, from a different perspective. Duh huh? Well, I had my fair share of new experiences, learning to deal with students, unde...

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it,and look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing? And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me. All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic.... Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm sup...

i suppose happiness is an entirely subjective thing. i also suppose that the benchmark for happiness will vary with time. so, it'seither that my benchmark has heightened, or that i'm starting to see things in a different perspective- one that didn't use to be my own. sk

Another week flew past, and looking back on the past two weeks, i think i have done many things that leaves much more to be desired. I'm not just talking about school work per se though. School has been intriguing! I really do honestly enjoy learning new things with each lecture. I am having fun in lectures! =D So let me dedicate a short something for each of my lecturer. Physiology: my lecturer's one funny man! seriously! his sense of wit, sarcasm and humour is unparalleled, [yes, even by me! =D]! I haven't once sat through a lecture without wondering in amazement, what sort of person he exactly is. Lol, like for example, when he was teaching us about how multiple excitations from various neurones can arrive at a single post synaptic membrane. He links this to multi- tasking. "how amazing the human body don't you think? that we're able to do so many things at one time. Like how i find it exceptionally amazing that some students can be looking at me a...

Hello Earth! Indeed, the almighty important one has been missing in action for a substantial period of time. But they all say- absence makes the heart grow fonder aye? =D I'M SURE. So here i am, attempting to, once again, resurrect and keep to the commitment of updating this place. Hopefully. =) Anyways, I'm currently reading this book called THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, by Naomi Klein. A background on this book: SHOCK. Yes, shock is the all and everything that embodies the contents of this book. No, it's not what I'll class as fiction. It revolves around events that are occuring in the here and now of the world today. Having said that it is not fiction, i must say, that the contents of the book is about as unreal and shocking, if not more, than fiction. In fact, the reality of the situation is what enhances the sense of shock one should feel when one reads the book. She reports to us the dirty little secrets of the real world that people, or rather, I, dont pay ...

I ALMOST FORGOT! GUESS WHAT MAN?!?!?!?!! I GOT A NEW PHONE LALALA!!! =D got bluetooth! and connectivity to com! =D yay-ness! =D so, just to haolian that i can FINALLY connect to my com, here are some pictures! dropped by vivo with xb sarah yesterday after we went to pay up for the ocean's butterflies vocal course (360 bucks ok! wa lao!) bad idea to say where i took this tho =D the guy came n told me, "no photography please! =)" but sice i already took these, so.... ya la... =D so cute right! esp the 2nd one! =D it looks so blur!! =D pity they didn't have kittens tho..

HOHO! this place has been forsaken for quite a while hur?! right! cpr attempt no. 1! so! how has relief teaching for 2 months been? mm, enriching... in a way... tiring definitely. relief teaching isn't as easy as it seems i feel. at the very least, i managed to make something very clear for myself. I WILL NOT BE A TEACHER. no. unless it's an absolute desperate measure (which then brings me to pray all the very best for a decent a level results). not entirely because i don't enjoy the job. i do. i do think that the sense of fulfilment one gets in teaching, is probably unparalleled in other jobs. but the amount of *^*$^#-ness in exchange for that fulfilment, doesn't feel entirely worth the while. ie, i find myself &%#$^$#* rather than OSH! most of the time. so i would say, teaching is emotionally draining- for me that is. probably due to my manner of working. i have the habit of putting in too much of my expectations in the things i do. that just doesn't help me a...
