i feel so... alone.
~ 7/30/2007 12:59:00 PM ~
i'm hella tired.
i know everyone else is as well, but let me whine a little.
:(
save me from this crap.
waking up every morning and struggling through the entire day with less than 4hours worth of sleep is absolute torture.
yeah, i may not be the only one going through this, but it doesn't make it any better.
i can't wait for the hols.
*end whine*
oh wells, hang in there, people!
*walks off in a zombified manner*
~ 7/29/2007 03:54:00 PM ~
sometimes, people make you wonder how the mama they got into mass comm.
their written english is so fugging lousy i was on the verge of puking blood while reading.
oh cool gang, cool gang.
*sighs in disbelief*
how i wish, some of you who don't do work yet get marks will be found out one day.
i swear your articles required the most editing so far.
and, goodness gracious me.
what a good sub i have (not you, mel).
the article that she claims she's subbed was soooo horrible i had to go through everything again. and change practically 80% of the grammer and whatnot.
*drops dead*
i've never marked anyone down in peer evaluation so far, but i swear my patience is running low.
no way, and i repeat, NO WAY, am i gonna get fucked up results thanks to uncooperative people in my group.
~ 7/27/2007 07:13:00 PM ~
and it's finally the weekend.
time for a breather, you may think.
but NO. you have no idea how wrong you are.
events to be covered on saturday, and MRM and MM to do throughout the entire weekend.
nevermind, at least i've only gotta make it through another week of insanity and it'll be time to slack.
i swear i HATE sending emails.
so as to make things clearer for each member, emails are in COLOUR.
and, it's sooo not as easy as it looks ok!
val's record, she claims, stands at 1hour for one email.
thank goodness i've never taken that long though. only half an hour.
but imagine sending ton of email like this:
worse when you have to do it INDIVIDUALLY.
RA!!
holidays, where art thou?
and the pain is back.
sudden, sharp stabbing pains shoot through the lower back.
sometimes, even the entire leg goes numb and i limp.
fuck. the sinseh's prediction has come true.
~ 7/23/2007 09:33:00 PM ~
i am currently in awe of newspaper editors.
this is only a tiny east zone + NP newspaper and i am about to drop dead already.
note to self of things to do:
- newspaper project
- advertising project SLIDES (omg lexy, STOP PROCRASTINATING)
- tv script
- bahasa indonesia roleplay + written test + reading test = 60%
- media research project
- media management project which i'm completely clueless about (fcuk what's wrong with me!)
so as you can see, me thinks that i'll be going on a hiatus.
do continue tagging, as it'd be what spurs me on to finish my work. FAST.
thanks, my loves.
~ 7/22/2007 10:35:00 PM ~
ok, as promised, the update on yesterday's emceeing before i go to bed.
we went to masala art, this really fab north indian restaurant at peninsula plaza for tea (because we thought that we shouldn't rely on the wedding dinner, since we may be called off at the wrong time). how wrong we were, because by the end of the night, both of our tummies ended up bloated like.... seahorses stomachs. :D
anyway, our food!
my keema naan (mutton naan)
our cheese naan
our vegetable curry with cottage cheese.
i swear the food was sooooo delicious sheereen and i shared the same sentiments -- we could die happy after that meal.
hahaha. everyone SHOULD (x100000) go try that place out.
well, so we went back to the hotel and here's us before changing!
my eyes look extra tiny next to sheereen. :(
and after changing, we were BORED to tears.
because, it's weird how everyone were so... down and UNhyper before a WEDDING!
and so, we decided to camwhore!
sheereen was wearing heels, and i was barefooted in this picture.
*cough* what does this tell you, eh?
alright, so we started taking photos to tell a story.
here goes... *takes a deep breath*
once upon a time.. there was this girl who was modelling for chips more.
in the process of modelling, she fell in love with chips more and thought of hiding it so that no one would be able to take it away from her.
however, there was this witch, whose amazing psychic powers sensed that the girl was about to do something dishonest. and so, she tried to get the packet of chips more back. the girl resisted with all her might.
the witch tried to tempt the girl away from chips more with .... pringles. and threatened her with some kungfu power moves.
the girl retaliated.
the witch, being a really cowardly one, died and became a ghost.
but we didn't mention at the start that the girl was really terrified of spirits, did we? well, so she turned tails and ran. but dropped the packet of chips more.
the witch saved the world! and got 4 packets of coffee as her reward. :D
ok, dumb, i know.
but hey, what do you expect from people who were bored to tears, and imprisoned in a hotel room with NOTHING to do?
i wanna rush off to bed already.
so here're 2 pics to end with!
and i'm suddenly feeling quite $^@#%^(& about my newswriting.
is it really that difficult to abide by deadlines?
am currently wondering if i'm not strict enough.
deadlines i give to the group members to hand in their articles to me aren't kept.
and some of the work given to me, AFTER the deadline, is CRAP, to say the least.
but nemind, I CAN DO IT.
*nods vigorously*
LEXY SHOW THEM YOUR (LIONESS) PROWESS OK!
RA!!! :D
~ 7/22/2007 12:22:00 AM ~
shall update on the emceeing stint just now... tomorrow.
if you're wondering, it went AWESOMELY WELL. :D
anyway, don't you wonder how sometimes, people really delude themselves to extreme ends?
either that or they're just too sensitive to be told that they are wrong.
i was just thinking of stuff while getting ready to go out just now..
and my train of thought landed on.. lets call him A, yeah?
well, cuz A behaved in a manner that i thought was wrong sometime early this week.
and i told him just that.
of course, he vehemently denied my not-so-accusatory talk and insisted that he wasn't wrong at all.
however, when someone of higher authority agreed with me and told him so, he had nothing to say.
well, so i bumped into A in school yesterday.
and i waved to him like nothing happened (although i was still quite unhappy with his behaviour).
but still, let bygones by bygones right?
this guy, however, would have ignored me if not for this junior of ours pointing me out to him.
so instead, he gave this really patronising smile.
i'd have preferred it if he'd have just ignored me though.
and i was thinking... just how petty could GUYS get?
just how sensitive can people get?
it's somewhat like.. telling people off in a work capacity.
say, reprimanding them for disciplinary issues.
however, it really amazes me how some people can be so sensitive/immature that they take it personally and hold a grudge against you after that.
it's like the chinese saying, 公私分明... just that these people are unable to achieve that.
is it really THAT difficult to separate work and personal life? o.O
if you guys have any comments, please do tag.
cuz the answer really eludes me.
~ 7/20/2007 11:09:00 PM ~
and it's finally the last day of the week.
the (more or less) final time to enjoy before intense chionging starts.
had PEPPER LUNCH with valerie yinny tckchngmok and airell.
once again, pepper lunch = heaven.
i know you guys may be waaayyy tired of hearing me say that.. BUT IT IS WHAT! :/
people who don't like pepper lunch can go knock their head against a pillar (i was gonna name a lecturer of mine here, but am kinda worried she may sue me for defamation or something).
ok, i digressed.
anyway, i felt so the very bright while out with them!
it was hella scandalous, i swear.
whatever happened to the mokssinta scandal!?
and another one is brewing already.
*shakes head*
these two ah.. they move from one scandal to another like it's nothing.
AND THESE TWO.
LOL. without looking at their bags or jackets, i think it'd be quite difficult to figure out which is airell and which is val.
ah well.. i guess that's how it is with (soon-to-be) couples.
lets see when ziggy's prediction will come true.
*jumps around*
ok, all these aside..
I'M SOOOO EXCITED!
emceeing at a wedding tomorrow.
language? MANDARIN.
yes, OMGWTFBBQ!? alexis is gonna emcee in MANDARIN.
:D i swear i'll be sucha huge flop if something impromptu comes up.
nevermind.. lets pray that my chinese base does not desert me in my time of need tomorrow.
*crosses fingers*
$100 more in my account tomorrow!
it's been waaayy too long since i've had 3 digits in my account.
~ 7/19/2007 10:40:00 PM ~
omg.
exercising 3 days in a row just damn near killed me today.
was so zombified.
and training today seemed overly difficult for me.
:/
but still.. JIAYOU ALEXIS! :D
and i realised that i should do up an events timetable kinda thing for newswriting!
so that everyone will have an idea of what they're doing.. and WHEN TO SUBMIT THEIR ARTICLES.
but i think i'm quite a lousy editor.
:(
i've not been chasing after my reporters for their articles.
HOW OH HOW!
consultation with ramani tomorrow, and i have NOOO idea what he wants us to show him.
guess i'd better go get something done, e.g. the EVENTS TABLE. :/
*drops dead*
*NOTE TO SELF: NO MORE GYMING STRENUOUSLY ON WEDNESDAYS.
~ 7/18/2007 11:14:00 PM ~
yinny has nice hair.
and as some people will say.. "KAWAII!"
*snort*
but yah lah, cute yinny. :D
anyway, GYMED WITH VAL JUST NOW!
hahaha.. feeling accomplished, woman?
we're on our way to becoming MUSCLE WOMEN!
no more soft muscles.. HARD ones now! :D
~ 7/17/2007 11:42:00 PM ~
everyone has problems of their own.
it just puzzles me how people are so self-absorbed they don't try to see things from others' perspectives.
is human nature really like that?
i can't begin to describe how disheartening it is to see someone's goodwill just thrown back right smack into her face like that.
even the coldest of hearts will go out to her.
more so when you see, understand, and feel how she's feeling.
~ 7/16/2007 06:42:00 PM ~
http://relayduathlon2007.blogspot.com/
HEY PEOPLE!
go join this!
organised by NP's canoeing..
it's a pair thing. 4km run per person, + 4 km canoeing.
or 2km run per person + 2km canoeing for the novice category.
HAH.
got pulled by JOYCE THE BIMBOTIC HIPPO to join.
am kinda apprehensive though.
think i may just drop dead and die halfway through the run, or capsize and sink while canoeing..
the rationale behind this conclusion?
with the amount of flab soft MUSCLES i have now... it's a great possibility that that may happen.
*snort*
so, people, seeing as to how unfit me is taking part, YOU GUYS SHOULD JOIN TOO! :D
go go go!
and it's not only limited to NP people eh.
so people like xiuxiu.. GO GRAB A FREN AND JOIN TOGETHER LAH! :D
p.s.
forgive my high-ness.
just gymed with shureenie bimbo after goodnessknowshowlong!
~ 7/15/2007 04:46:00 PM ~
i swear being a journalist is not as easy as it seems.
melody and i went to what they call "MOE DAIRY FARM ADVENTURE CENTRE" to get an article done for newswriting.
looking at that mouldy sign, one would think that it's some hideyhole for spirits, with no sign of human life.
in fact, while walking in, i half expected a shrieking pontianak or some wild man-eating dog to pop right out in front of me.
it didn't help that i was with melody - the biggest bo ji girl ever. =P
well, after we got our interviewee, we began the longest walk in our lives ever.
i swear that dairy farm road, and the area around it, is akin to a DESERT.
the cars that passed by could be counted with 2 hands man!
but BUT, us being the ONES WHO PERSEVERE, finally got to the bus stop (after being roasted till we (ok, I) was dripping sweat).
anyway, i met sheereen at about 8p.m. for CHEESE NAAN and script-writing.
HAHA. in our humble opinion, we can be PROFESSIONAL EMCEES already. :D
our script was GOOD, if i do say so myself...
can't wait for this coming saturday when the wedding rolls around.
WHEE~
oh yes, i got HOT PINK nails.
gaudy, i know.. but it was kinda like a spur of the moment thing.
:D
~ 7/13/2007 12:29:00 PM ~
i just saw llb's post on the ahscds blog about xiangying 2007.
wouldn't have visited it if not for yy talking about it.
and i am, seriously and totally, appalled by the state ahscds is in now.
what happened to it?
everything that i loved in it seems to have changed.
in fact, now, when i go back to visit, there is no longer the warm, familiar sense of a family.
why don't they love cds as much as we did?
they make it seem as though all they do for the cca now is just a job.
i read through the tags that some of the juniors posted on the blog, and something hit me right in the face.
says one of them "lol...yy not seniors can help our batch by explainin benefits or priorities of their respective comm. posts?"
don't they understand that it's the passion that brings people to want to be in the committee?
it's not the benefits they derive from whatever post they get, but rather, what they are willing to give.
the initiative + commitment.
if there's no passion, no love for the cca, how can you ever do the job properly?
in fact, this applies to everything, and not just the cca.
reading llb's post, talking about how many actors/actresses did not turn up for rehearsals... it came as sucha huge shock to me.
thinking back, we could stay till late at night, rehearsing the same thing over and over again just to achieve perfection.
fuck stress and whatnot. it was doing 0ur best that counted. and yet, these juniors just flick their responsibility away without giving it the slightest thought.
do they even sing the drama song with their soul?
or is it just a thoughtless mouthing of the words?
为了今日的掌声，费劲不少的心血
没有辛苦的耕耘，何来欣慰的收获。
谁不曾在学习路上尝到失败与挫折，
有谁不想成为明日耀眼的星星。
忘了失败继续前行，世上没有做不到的事，
戏剧工作虽然艰辛，我却坚持走下去。
there's more, but my chinese cannot make it anymore, so...
i loved ahscds, and still do.
please don't destroy the very essence of it -- the familiar atmosphere of passion and family.
~ 7/12/2007 09:40:00 PM ~
and i must say, i'm dead beat.
it was the first time ever that i conked out once my head touched the pillow yday night.
i'm sick again, all thanks to pegpeg the horrendous ah ma who passed her germs to me.
but still, training has been quite good so far. by so far, i mean this week, that is.
:D
there was loads that i wanted to say this afternoon, but.. well, i've forgotten all that i wanna say after training.
RA-ness!
muscles are aching like goodnessknowswhat.
BUT I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED.
anyway, i saw these few pictures of british signs.
they are HILARIOUS. why can't signs in singapore be as creative and funny? :/
till tomorrow then.
i love pegpeg ah ma. :D
~ 7/09/2007 12:00:00 PM ~
heard this song on yuxuan's blog and i think the lyrics rock!
""What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life"
~ Teenage Life by Daz Sampson
not only teachers, in fact, but all adults.
it's about time they understand that it's already the 21st century, so stop comparing now and the past already.
these adults want us to like... confide in them and whatnot.
and before you even get one sentence outta your mouth, they start going on giving advice/reprimanding you.
sometimes, just sometimes, it'd be good to have them just sit there and finish listening to what we say before they give their take on things.
adults, if you happen to drop by randomly and read this..
please think about it. :D
and just a lil note before i leave.
I READ ON PEARLYN'S BLOG THAT TOMMY WEE, THE HANDSOME, CHARMING EDITOR OF 8DAYS... IS SINGLE!
~ 7/08/2007 02:06:00 AM ~
just got home some time ago after supper with THE BATCH.
it was love.
watching xiang ying 2007 made me reminisce about the past.
watching our juniors on stage made me miss being on it too.
seeing the lights shine on them, hearing the applause from the crowd...
and yet, i was just part of the audience. it just seemed so surreal.
it was exciting being in the audience, watching xiang ying for the first time.. and yet, there was this intense feeling of being left out.
i miss all the rehearsals together, the late nights, the rushing of props.
i miss all the hard work we put in for xiang ying.
and how, when the last curtain fell, know that all the effort we put in did not go to waste.
when we all stood up to sing the drama song together with those on stage, i could feel the hot tears of yearning in my guts, threatening to spill over.
TAN YUYANG. XIANG YING 2009. ON US, OK? :D
~ 7/07/2007 12:14:00 AM ~
caught transformers just now..
and i swear it's AWESOME.
it's the kinda movie that can bear watching two or three times.
oh, and i absolutely LUUURRRVVEEE bumblebee and optimus.
especially bumblebee. HAHAHA sucha cute lil handicapped robot.
and optimus is fab to the max! :D
those who haven't caught it, you just HAVE to watch it.
i wanna be a soldier now, after watching the movie!
imagine running around in gunfire and whatnot.
seems so fun!
anyway, the bus ride home after that was CRAP.
because the bus was full, i ended up sitting at the last row, corner seat.
right after i sat down, 3 people from a particular group came and sat next to me.
i really wonder why people from that category stink soooo much!
it's not just one or two, but almost all those from that category in spore stink the hell outta the world.
air pollution. *snorts*
and because the 3 of them packed me into the corner, i swear my nose nearly rotted off!
urgh.
wonder what kinda soap they use, or if they even BATHE.
their smell was really bile-inducing.
i am in awe of my self-control. my ability to hold puke in.
it was such a great relief when they got off the bus.
a minute or so after they left, i took a cautious sniff to my left (where they were sitting) and it was like.. OMGWTFBBQ the smell was still there! faint, yes.. but still present!
it took like.. another few stops before the smell faded completely.
BAH! smelly ppl should be banned from public transportation. *nods vigorously*
p.s.
can't wait to meet up with THE BATCH tomorrow! :D
~ 7/04/2007 08:44:00 PM ~
| Your Love Type: ESTP |
The Doer
In love, you are charming, and known for sweeping people off their feet.
For you, sex is fun and a great way to be in the moment with someone.
Overall, you are witty, generous, and flirty.
However, you tend to ignore conflict and get bored with people easily.
Best matches: ISFJ or ISTJ |
dammit. somehow the last sentence seemed so very true.
anyway..
don't you think it's really weird when people rush for buses/trains and yet don't give their all chasing after them?
everytime i see people rushing after such public transportation, i'll take extra notice of them.
and i just don't get it.
they are rushing for time, and "running" after the bus/train.
yet, somehow, they seem to be taking their time.
and when they miss the bus/train... they'll throw up their hands in a show of exasperation.
sometimes, they'll even gesture rudely at the unseeing bus drivers to show their unhappiness.
still, i think that it's their fault at times.
saw this woman running after a bus just now.
she caught it, because the uncle was nice enough to pause awhile to check if any others would like to board before driving off.
when she was running towards the bus, however... hell, all i can say is that i can walk faster than that.
she was waddling along, running in such a manner that allowed her hair to swing left and right.. you know.. like those models in advertisements...?
and the worst thing is.. she isn't the only one behaving like that! many other women do the same.
PFFTT. like hello get a life? you aren't shooting an advertisement, honey. you're attempting to catch a BUS!
sometimes, although it's really mean, i do so wish that the bus drivers will just drive off when they see people waddling towards them (caring more about their image than actually RUNNING).
i think that they should learn.... from me. :D
the few times i've chased after a bus.. KNS. i'll really sprint. and if the bus is about to move off.. HAH. i'll just bang my hand against the door. the bus driver CONFIRM stop and open the door.
even if they don't wanna bang on the door... AT LEAST RUN!
i hate it when people think they are kings/queens and slowly running/sashaying towards the bus, flapping their arms.
in fact, evil as it is... i'll snigger to myself when they miss the bus.
serves them right, don't you think?
~ 7/04/2007 03:41:00 PM ~
YAY!
media management test has ended and we got back the finance test frm the hols.
im feeling quite demoralised now.
the last person in my class for mm.... *cough*val*cough* got HIGHER than me for the finance test!
URGH.
:(
dammit.
VAL WHY LIKE THAT!
you should have done a good deed and helped me line the bottom.
anyway, we formed our newswriting group just now.
wait, can't say that we FORMED it, cuz we were the leftovers.
*snort*
and i was made EDITOR.
omg. i sincerely hope i won't screw up the newspaper.
*feels extremely worried*
but i'm covering the SPORTS section!
haha. that's the only thing i'm looking forward to, and the only thing that's getting me all hyped up over this assignment (albeit a lil anxious).
may be going to donate blood later!
see how i feel by the end of class.
p.s.
this is an EXTREMELY random post.
i'm soooo sorry, mr. hottie tommy wee...
it was just such a spontaneous thing i couldn't be bothered to think of an angle to blog about.
~ 7/01/2007 06:58:00 PM ~
selamat malam!
