make a wish.

xmas.

make a wish.

some things, once lost,
will never come back.

new phone E72

i finally got a new hp!
after sooo long
and thinking for soooo long.
spent a bomb.
$268 in addition to a new 2 yr contract

here it is:

i got the silver edition.

decided to buy this instead of Nokia 5800

although i do like 5800 much better.

because i seriously had enough of phones that fail me

again and again.

5800, being a touchscreen,

would NOT be able to withstand my abuse >.<

n i hope that E72,

would be able to work smoothly for 2 YEARS

with no problem.

*prays hard*

its sunday now.

20 dec 2009

come monday,

there's only 2 weeks left till school reopens.

but i still felt like hols have just started.

what happened:

to wanting to watch all the disney shows

to wanting to get my hands on the Disney soundtracks

to wanting to curl up in bed with a good book

(im reading John Grisham's The Appeal)

to wanting to people watch at a particular cafe

to wanting to meet and catch up with all my friends

to wanting to improve my fitness and be healthy

(i'm doing the direct opposite by not eating recently =X )

i found quite a good way to motivate myself.
just head down to Raffles Place,
stand in e middle of nowhere,
look up at all the towering buildings,
and feel as small as possible.

then the reminder will come.
that right now, i actually have a chance to do well
and be right there in one of the buildings
having a pretty good career.

the thing is,
i don't know what i want.
for the first time in my life.

be brave.

post exams sem1 reflections

i've been horrible this entire semester.
its time for a reflection.
especially since now the danger of me losing my double degree is so very real.
i think i've been a weakling this entire semester.
whining, complaining, crying non-stop.
what a baby.
i used to be able to take whatever life throws at me
and handle them myself.
what the hell happened?!! 
thanks to all my friends who are ever so patient with me
(u know who u are)
nick and weilin
(brandon u're not inside cos u've been MIA-ing for too long in ur medicine hole =P )
belicia shuyi n jingles
my cheerleader, even though with problems of ur own
and some more.
u all know who u are. 
its time to stop all this nonsense.

looking at bella in New Moon makes me so disgusted
she's like some depressed, suicidal emo shit.
although im not like that (as bad as her)
and e cause is different
i swear
swear swear swear
im not going to behave like some baby next semester.
time to grow up, evonne.

the 7 deadly sins

i was bored while studying
trying to studying
so i went to google The 7 Deadly Sins

They are:

Greed: also called Avarice or Covetousness, is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual"

Gluttony: practice of playing with too many cards

Wrath: inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger

Sloth: the avoidance of physical or spiritual work

Envy: the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. it is symbolised by the snake.

Lust: usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires

Pride/vanity: the most dangerous and prevalent of all the deadly sins. refusal to accept advice from others about your deck



so i went to take the test to see out of the 7 sins, which one am i.

Results:

Greed:	Medium
Gluttony:	Medium
Wrath:	High
Sloth:	Low
Envy:	High
Lust:	Very Low
Pride:	High

Take the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

pictures are from http://community.imaginefx.com/fxpose/blackeris_portfolio/picture5567.aspx 
(google images)

i feel like im taking a General Paper exam next.
and yet i have nil knowledge on the recent current affairs.
now i have to read up on SO many reports etc etc within the next 2 days
to squeeze in as much general knowledge as i can
=(

2 weeks of exams feel so horribly longer than 2 weeks
psychology of waiting?

你看不到的天空 - 蔡旻佑

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

你看不到的天空 - 蔡旻佑

好像飘浮了很久
自从那天你放开了手
应该是两个人来的港口
我一个人在虚拟温柔
用你的目光看海
可乐冰痛了我的指头
幸福又快乐的地球人
不断从我的身边经过
对你还能怎么说　能怎么做
做什么也都不够
插在口袋中
是没有人来握住的手
我的表情并不多　心也不痛
我只不过是不懂
世界在热闹什么

我在你看不到的天空
看着灿烂的烟火
这城市孤单的人只有我
没有谁在乎　谁跟谁分手
每个时钟都继续转动
许下你听不到的承诺
流星怎么不坠落
在倒数声中我剩下什么
没有谁甘心　对回忆爱不释手
但我无力对抗　这整个世界的寂寞

我该如何去面对　整个世界的寂寞

 nice song.  

i like his album cover.  so light.

fuck.
why does all the phones that i use have to give me some problem
at the most INAPPROPRIATE time.
small little things that i guess pple wont even think about.
i don't think anyone is as SUAY as me regarding this matter.
fuck.

2 days without technology

i guess its true when they say that we've gotten too, far too reliant on technology.
my hp just totally died on me last night.
as in, SPOILED.
it cannot be switched on.
and during the rare occasions that it could,
it couldn't detect any network.
and to think i was still worried about not having battery to last till sat.
HAHAHA.
im eyeing Nokia 5800 now >.<

so i started my 2 days without technology.
because i have no hp.
and i didn't bring laptop back to hall.
but i guess its good for mugging.
the only chance that i get to use a computer is
in the seminar room occasionally.

but i just saw a fb msg that made me feel quite happy and warm
especially during this exam period =)

i told gan ying cheng before he went taiwan that i want pineapple tarts
know a very good shop but i cant rem the name! =(
i went to search for the paper where i wrote the name and address of the shop
need to tell him before he flies!

but sadly i didn't manage to do it in time.
and he just touched down today.
he said he got pineapple tarts for me =D
a word of casual mention only and he found it!
cos e shop he bought it from is E SHOP I WAS TALKING ABT
(very famous, called Vicor Kobo )

this is how their products look like!

bought it when i went taiwan n fell in love with it =)

really didn't expect him to get sth for me since he dun even noe e shop
so i was rather skeptical. BUT!
=)

trust people
u know,
and
trust yourself.
myself included.

maybe doing without technology these 2 days
is good for me.
good for mugging hee
maybe some things just happen for a reason.

相信自己
坚持到底

wait and see.
dum dee dum.

johnny depp to the rescue!!

according to the news,
nicholas cage has been facing financial troubles
because of his manager.
to the extent that he has to sell his properties to raise money
to pay off his debts.
and apparently its still not enough.

BUT
johnny depp is coming to the rescue!
apparently, back then nicholas cage helped johnny depp
by introducing him to his current manager,
who then helped him develop his very successful career.
thus depp wants to repay the favour,
by being willing to OFFER nicholas cage CASH 
to bail him out.
0.o

if the above is true, i can only say,
its going to enhance depp's reputation and gain him more fans.
but i don't deny i myself went 'awwwwww..... so nice!'
=)

                          =D

can read here: http://www.cinematical.com/2009/11/16/johnny-depp-nicolas-cage-bailout/

i just saw a blue and green bird land outside my window
at 3.30am.
it looks like some kind of exotic bird
because i've NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE
im very sure im not dreaming.
weird.

running out of time

                   www.businessweek.com/.../06/managing_your_t.html

hahahha.

im running out of time!! =(

this is my retribution for slacking last week and last last week.

why do i always waste time instead of making full use of all available time to study

=(

thank you. hee. =) 

Are you suffering from Facebook Addiction Disorder?

Got to know this recently. quite interesting. 

Due to the immense popularity of Facebook and it turning into an online social medium,
experts have coined this new term 'Facebook Addiction Disorder' to describe those who are addicted to FaceBook. It falls under the broad category of Internet Disorder.


To be diagnosed as having Facebook Addiction Disorder, a person must meet certain criteria.
At least 2 or 3 of the following 6 criteria must be present at any time during a 6-8 months period:

1. The first thing is tolerance. 
This refers to the need for increasing amounts of time on Facebook to achieve satisfaction and/or significantly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of time. They often have multiple Facebook windows opened at any one time. 3 is usually a sign and over 5 you're helpless.

2. After reduction of Facebook use or cessation, it causes distress or impairs social, personal or occupational functioning such as wondering why your Vista is so fast and improved etc. These include anxiety; obsessive thinking about what is written on your wall on Facebook etc.

3. Important social or recreational activities are greatly reduced and or migrated to Facebook. Instead of sending an email you post a message on your friend’s page about canceling a lunch appointment. You now stop answering your phone call from your Mom and insist she should contact you through Facebook chat.

4. This is getting serious if you start kissing your girlfriend's home page or a VRML virtual walk through a park is your idea of a date.

5. Your bookmark takes 20 minutes just to scroll from top to bottom or 8 of 10 people in your friend's list you have no idea of who they are.

6. When you meet people you start introducing yourself by following "see you in Facebook" or your dog has its own Facebook profile. You invite anyone you've met and any notifications, messages and invites reward you with an unpredictable high, much like gambling.

hp802 working in the 21st century

studying for this elective module
made me realise that,
i have low social competence.
i fulfill all 4 out of 5 stages.
failure at the last stage =(

i dun like to study by just reading
i need to do do do.
reading just bores me out.

i really need to focus!!

Role Play

if life is a drama,
i'm an awfully bad actress.
so many roles to play.
and i did not play any of them well.
did a bad job balancing and handling everything.
tsk tsk.
evonne huang i'm so disappointed in you.
what happened?!!

girl, please come back. 
haha. 
 

what will be, will be.
que sera, sera~~~

FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS.
HOCUS POCUS.

inter-connectivity

my horoscope today says that
as my emotional health improves
my physcial health would follow.
because both are interconnected.
hmmm.
i do notice a correlation between
my stress level and my stomach tantrums.
let me apply what i've learnt in stats
and plot a graph.
haha. 

story of a Boy and a Girl

heard this story over Yes 933 FM that day
its a love story.
a very very sad love story =(
here goes:

there was a Boy and a Girl

both of them met each other when they were still students

and both of them liked each other. immensely. 

but Boy was too timid to profess his love for her.

for many many years, he just hid at a corner watching her. 

caring for her silently. 

Girl was waiting for Boy.

and she waited for many many years. 

just for that 1 sentence from Boy, and she's his. 

but the story didn't end like this. 

Boy kept his feelings to himself

and Girl met someone else, 

whom she got married to. 

Boy lost hope, and just gave Girl his blessings. 

but a few years later, Girl got divorced from her unhappy marriage. 

Boy got to know about it, and decided to muster his courage and profess to her. 

having tasted the sense of loss once, he did not want to lose Girl again. 

so he bought flowers and went to her office one day.

Girl was on the phone, so he waited quietly behind her. 

as long as Girl turned around, he would profess.

but he heard this, 

" i have already done the booking for you dear. don't miss it!"

Boy was crestfallen, for he did not know of Girl's new love interest. 

Dejected, he turned to leave. 

and bumped into another girl. 

this girl had been his admirer for as long as he had been loving Girl. 

she saw the flowers in his hand, and said,

"are those for me?"

Boy, not wanting to waste the flowers, gave them to this Girl instead.

and they got together thereafter. 

things progressed and soon he proposed. 

one day, Boy bumped into Girl. 

Girl asked," why didn't you approach me that night?"

Boy was shocked. he did not know that Girl was aware of his presence. 

so he answered,"i overheard you on the phone and did  not want to disturb your conversation with your boyfriend."

Girl was shocked. 

she did not have a boyfriend. 

the 'dear' that she called, was her superior.

who is a very good friend of hers and the name 'dear',

was a nickname that she used fondly on him. 

calling him 'dear' was out of habit. 

Girl was still waiting for Boy to take initiative.  

and so, because Boy jumped to conclusions too eagerly,

because Boy was too afraid to profess, 

because Girl did not take the initiative to ask,

they missed each other.

for life. 

its quite sad when i first heard it over the radio.
somehow chong qing made it really sad.
(though i think ling zhi would be better >.<) 
but i think both Boy and Girl are stupid.
wait here and there.
whats e point.
but then sometimes we have to agree,
that life is like that.

movie marathon!

had a bad start in e morning today.
was rushing for work at Kumon...
and when i reached bishan mrt,
at BreadTalk there,
my slippers broke.
and i was stranded there, because early morning at 9.45am
none of the shops in Junction 8 was opened.
i was soooo prepared to go Charles & Keith
and just buy 1 pair of sandals or slippers
DESPITE their sky high price that does not justify their quality
and NO it wasn't open.
and SO, i walked back home
BAREFOOTED
from breadtalk there all the way home
quite an experience if u ask me
but definitely not enjoyable since i was rushing for work
=(

but i caught 2 movies today!
please don't come ask me why.

My Sister's Keeper

 its quite a disappointment
cause i read the book.
the ending is totally different.
i went 'HUH?!' and 0.o
the feel is different.
when reading the book, i felt such INTENSE DISLIKE for the mother
because i felt she's the one causing all the misery in the family
albeit her good intentions.
sometimes, letting go is the only way to move on
because she cant accept the fact,
because she cant let go,
she brought such misery upon her family and others.
resulting in them having to resort to such extreme means to get the message across.

but i admit that Cameron Diaz did a rather good job
in playing the role of the mother
its very emotionally challenging
to be so drastic all the time.

i was like totally angry and tensed up and agitated while reading the book
the twist at the end of the book left a lingering taste after i finished it
all the 'huh how come this happened' feel
still unable to get over the twist.

strong emotions,
that the movie didn't evoke.

500 Days of Summer 

heard pretty good comments and reviews about it

so i went in with high expectations

too high i think.

cause i was disappointed too.

at the ending i was like -_-"

but i like the male lead!

he's kinda nerdy and scholarly with a tinge of shyness

so cute!

but i like the concept of the movie

this is not a love story.

its a story about love.

that sometimes for love,

no matter how much you give,

how much you love,

it will not be requitted.

Like the female lead, Summer.

she does not believe in love.

she does not want to get into a relationship.

but she got married happily in e end.

it just goes to show that sometimes,

it just takes the right person.

one can sacrifice and give all one has to give,

but can still lose the loved one to another who does not put in that much effort.

there's no explanation.

perhaps this would give some people out there hope,

but at the same time,

it would also create doubts in some.

-love-

i just wasted my entire long weekend.
my 'sleeping disorder' doesn't seem to be getting any better.

having fun doing the mass dances and singing the songs
hard to believe that i actually spent 2 years there

we're old. we're the alumni now.
