smth it takes a tumble before you know how to appreciate your frens and loved ones..
screwed up at work last nite.. stepped out of the foh room feeling really horrid.. not scared tt i'll get scolded or wad.. but just feeling plain horrid cos i screwed smth up.. thx so much to all the nice ushers who said "never mind" to me.. haha.. sounds weird but i never realised "nvm" can mean so much.. even my newbie was so nice to console me.. haha.. took the nite to reflect bout the incident.. yup.. ch is rite.. i shld have drafted my annoucement and i really shld b alot more mindful of all the small details.. okay.. lesson learned at least.. making too many annoucements lately really caused me to drop my guard.. and i was wrong.. i just proved how over-confidence is bad.. must rmb this nxt time..
just had a talk with dad and mom over my life recently.. they were complaining tt i'm spending too much time working as usual.. it's really hard to convince them.. tt ucc is much more than a part time job.. tt i'm really learning alot.. tt i'm really enjoying the company.. tt it is worth more than wad they think it is.. i tink they need to learn how to let go as well.. tt me and bro re growing up.. perhaps if i went to stay in hall they would learn this much easier and faster.. wondering if my decision to stay at home and keep them company is right after all..
i guess they re so used to me and bro spending all our sundays with them..so much so tt now when we decided we need time for other commitments as well, they re complaining bout it..
den again.. it's hard to convince them since they are totally clueless bout the nature of the job.. tt's y they dont understand.. dad kept comparing it with my ps exco position.. which is totally no link at all..
mom suggested tt i shld give myself my space.. to have more time so i can rest and take a look at other things ard me.. she compared me with this sec 4 kid who just got 9As for her 'O's.. someone who had no other commitments other than school and herself.. not even any cca.. so this gal comes up with a timetable.. spends 5 days mugging every week.. and always keeps 2 days empty so she can either finish up wad she cant accomplish in tt 5 days or just for pure entertainment in tt 2 days.. i sorta laugh when i heard this.. and i told my mom "even at her age, i had so much more commitments den her.. it's just not possible to do this tt way"..
going to work again tml.. hopefully they can understand..
and thank you to someone who was there for me.. and who truly understood..

finally went shopping today.. the crowd on the streets were.. well.. quite bad though.. smth all the pple make me not feel like buying anything.. haha.. so weird.. isnt the festive mood suppose to encourage shopping.. so i did window shopping till i met up with dad and mom for dinner.. and we reached home just in time to watch chingay.. it's been quite some time since i last watched chingay.. so i was really surprised at the quality.. it's so much better than the hk chingay i watched at the beginning of this week.. yeah.. the spore one was miles btr both in terms of quality and quantity.. and i was super impressed by the nus kR hall one.. at least on tv, i could not believe the flood was made of recycled stuff.. it just looks super pro man.. hope pharm can come up with smth of comparable standards.. but well.. gotta admit it's quite hard lah.. the idea of incorporating healthcare theme into our rag seems *cough* really really tough too..
ushering on thurs really included making annoucement again.. 3 times in a row le.. must buy 4D.. haha.. did the chinese thing again as well.. but i must say at least i feel that i'm improving.. practice makes perfect..haha..
been mugging in sch for the past few days.. seriously never studied so much before during hols plus there's no test.. was rest-assuring my parents during dinner tt i'm not letting anything affect my studies.. den again.. mayb it's even helping my studies.. somehow i feel more motivated to mug.. dunno y also..
had a really memorable time last nite for various reasons..
found the first 2 hurdles tt i gotta overcome as i was walking in engin yesterday.. was thinking bout it last nite.. mmm.. no ans yet though.. time will tell bah..
and for the first time.. i saw a star-lit sky in sengkang.. took a really slow walk back home from the bus stop so that i can slowly enjoy the blissful sweet feelings.. reminds me of ballet under the sky.. this ballet performance held in the open air at Fort Canning.. really romantic.. it must be my lucky day..
享受着淡淡的，平凡的幸福。

onli 4 days away from sch and i'm missing nus.. of cos a huge part of this had been attributed to my horribly boring cny.. and nus had taken over my life thru the whole vday period.. gotten too used to being busy tt time seems to pass way too slowly these few days..

i'm having one of the most uneventful cny this year.. actually i had never spent many new year in spore before.. the last time.. i cant even rmb when was it.. dad always bring us abroad or go back to hk during cny.. esp these few years since my grandparents re not tt young anymore.. well.. must know how to treasure your loved ones when they re still around mah..
anw, dad just made a call back to hk to wish his mom gong xi fai cai.. but the first thing my grandma asked was how's my bro bro.. haha.. so funny.. dad got jealous of bro bro.. somehow the whole family is really worried bout him in ns.. grandma din really wanted to let him back to spore the last dec when we went back.. haha.. talk bout pampered kids, i must have at least one at home.. den again, i think ns is having a positive effect on bro bro.. he seems to be a little more matured after the bare 5 weeks of bmt.. not bad.. starting to question me bout things as if he's the older one now.. feels quite strange though..
so i had reunion dinner with a distant and onli so-called relative in spore.. and visited their house today.. somehow, dad, me and bro just dun click with this family.. dunno wad to say so left all the talking to mommy.. den went airport to eat lunch on chu yi.. and had kbox lunch with my family this morn.. cant believe this is all my whole cny program contains.. looking at all the closed shops at compass point doesnt make things better too.. kinda miss the super happening new years in hk.. with big gang of relatives and open-for-business shopping malls..
smth tt i just discovered..
small little aspects of your life may brighten someone else's day..

Had one of the most happening weeks since i entered NUS.. so had completely zero time to blog..
firstly, sorry to kit whom i could not go kbox with.. and also sorry to meg for being unable to meet u to get the pineapple tarts..
Okay.. shall start with my story with the Chocz Pre-sales for the Pharm Bazaar..
One really lucky Pharm analysis prac last week, xinyi said: "Chocz is coming down to the Bazaar, should we do pre-order?".. happily i replied: " of cos..y not?" and tt was the start of the nightmare week i had.. haha.. coming up with the publicity webpage.. den persuading pple to buy.. den collading all the orders.. going down to chocz to collect stuff.. blasting the ps room aircon.. being deliverymen to all the prof who ordered from us.. actually it was not tt difficult.. the biggest prob was the so limited time we had to do everything.. within less than a week's time.. everything had to be done.. well.. i must admit xinyi had a much much worse time den me last week.. with her health campaign and flora express all stuck at the same time.. so i salute u gal.. haha.. u re the best pd for apps spore.. gogo..
i must say tt chocz stuff alone would not have filled my week to the brim actually.. in this short 7 days i had.. i went for med, den, pharm soc gathering.. worked 20.25 hours in ucc.. had the most eventful vday (which me and xinyi kept saying " i hate vday"), dashing to and fro the ps room and the sci foyer.. had to hand in 3 lab reports, prepare for 2 tutorials.. and attend my usual long hours of lectures.. wrote 300times NUSPS wishes you Happy Valentine's for welfare.. gave out 430 vday gifts, so which 400 was from welfare and 30 from myself.. and spend time with *hem hem*..
haha.. so proud tt i survived thru.. den again.. i knew i would.. with so many pple ard to support me.. of cos i would..
pharm pple re so nice..
luv the pharm kind souls who helped me and xinyi with our practicals despite the fact tt we never asked them to.. niron gave us briefing for both our practicals since we had no time to read manuals nor go for briefing.. haha.. basically, we just did wadever he said.. and for getting ready all our agar before we even went for prac.. if not we'll confirm be stuck in the lab for 1 more hour just to boil our agar.. haha.. must treat him more food during lecture next time..
and i really luv working at ucc these days.. hmm.. wonder y.. mayb it's cos lately it's always dance.. or mayb i'm being influenced.. haha.. anw.. worked my the nygh modern dance syf rehearsal last sunday.. and i saw ms yeo.. okay.. the most most surprising thing was tt she could 1)regconise me, 2)know my name, 3)and even which batch i was from.. haha.. so honoured.. the nygh dance was cool as usual.. all bout gal power.. yeah.. tt's the ny spirit..
but senior maggie commented the other day tt i looked like i'm from st.nics while xinyi looks like she's from ny.. haha.. the opposite from the truth..
oh ya.. i'm cursed with making annoucements at ucc this week.. made twice in 3 days.. and the first one i had to make both in eng and chi.. haha.. chi.. i was like when was the last time i spoke properly in chi.. den again.. of cos i survived again.. haha.. i must be blessed with lotsa love from lady luck lately.. everything seems to be going on quite smoothly..
saw yiming, who came back from boston, at ucc yesterday.. so quite glad i was working.. yiming is the first usher i shadowed when i first came to ucc.. and we were always stuck with the house doors together..
okay.. i shall blog till here onli.. the other stories tt happened this week re a little too private for this area.. haha..
p.s. just finished spring cleaning my room..
added more pics at more computer area to brighten up the place.. with a big big pic of me dan bro bro.. who's always in camp nowsdays..
my new purple satin bedsheet.. so pretty.. think i'll have a good sleep tonight.. and updated one of the photoframe with a nice nice pic of my pacar family (the one plin looks photoshop-ped into)
picture of the guess watch the pharm pple bought for my 21st bday.. by plin's request, i took a photo of this chio watch.. saw the price tag at the shop the other day.. my reaction "wow".. no wonder so many pple chipped in..
praying tt someone recovers in time for the new year..
and Selamat Tahun Baru Cina to all my dearest frens..

i realised i must be a really unhappening person.. worked for electrico last nite.. and so many of the ushers re talking bout electrico.. ym was telling me who amanda (this only gal in the band) was.. i guess i had totally lost touch with the rock world.. or rather.. i never went into it before.. rock music make my head hurts.. haha.. i must be getting old.. usually only old pple say tt lor.. so conclusion is I'm old and unhappening.. sad..
went to watch hannibal rising today.. and the ticket lady asked how old was i.. haha.. it's not even R-21, just a NC-16 show..how can i possibly look less than 16?? haha.. crazy.. the lady must be blind man..
anw.. reached home at 1am last nite (and mom complained again as usual) and din go for the pce talk this morn..was feeling unwell (prob cos i need slp) when i woke up so just grabbed G4 and went back to bed.. poor G4 was on the floor cos i slept too violent last nite.. haha..
planned my surprised visit to sch but had my surprise sploit 3 times in a row until it's no longer a surprise anymore.. sigh.. i must learn how to be more tactful in my planning next time..
