At my haven

Long time supporter of stef but..

I won't pay to watch her concert becoz I know all her songs by heart n all her cds..

(I am supporting Ms Stefanie Germanotta instead)! Ok la, Lady Gaga!!

:) I just love her songs, her immense vocal cords that remind me of Christina Aguilera, her v v unique fashion sense that I won't ever emulate, and most imptly that she remains true to herself.

I always am attracted to celebs with a dark side, like Angelina Jolie... maybe it's becoz I hv a dark side myself?? haha.

But her songs really kick a** and help me in running when I get bored, doing 10K and above runs...She's worth paying $100 for!!!

And she's ard my age so definitely, I support talents my age! Sorry Stef, I love ya but with buying ur cds n vds, they def. cost me more than $100 so u see, I love ya more for a longer time since sec one coz I spend more money on u than Lady Gaga.

寂寞光年 VIEW UNICODE

是谁从我天空摘走了星星
一转眼 眉头聚满乌云
从来快乐悲伤都自己疼惜
忘了我也值得被关心
一双手一个梦
一路上不断的俯冲
痛到忘了要怎么喊痛
漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想要拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫
漫长的等候让人特别失落
风为寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹
是谁将阳光都剪成了雨滴
天灰了,快乐总有限期
从来都陷在孤独的流沙里
忘了我也配被人在意
一个人一直走看着梦像做了又空
精疲力尽有没有哪里可以停泊
漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想有拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫
漫长的等候让人特别失落
风为寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹
那是谁的温柔留在我的小手
微不足道却那么重
漫长的寂寞把意志都吞没
整个世界是沉默的漩涡
有谁能陪我手牵着手出走
带我离开空洞的星球
还有什么值得追求
还有什么可以拥有
把怀抱借给我是不是就不再颤抖
有谁能带走这美丽的哀愁
能让我相信被爱的理由

Swim/gym/run/tennis/badminton

These are the last hols before I grad so I wanna make the full use of it.

Tennis can be quite addictive but well its not an easy game but I'd think still easier than table tennis?! Haha.. running up and down the court to pick up balls coz I can't catch them reminds me of shuttle run! Haha ok so I did more running than catching the balls.

Can't wait for JQ to be back so we can kickstart badminton/hiking! :):)

And now I'm addicted to the gym.. I was to the track early this year and now gym to build stronger core muscles. N yes there are many many toned men who work out there.. wahaha. EYE candy galore.

N yes these hols are totally better than 2007 when I was busy dating. Why, becoz loving urself is just the best thing eva, NEVER depend on men to give u happiness (ok except Yuna, becoz her BF is the Pres scholar for bfs) the rest of us shld know that no guy is irreplaceable.

I am not a feminist/man hater/ just someone who has been there, done that, n who wld like to tell gfs that we should love ourselves 110% and as to the guys, dont give 100% of our love.

fitness regimen

with such disciplined team mates I know that my worries abt keeping my fitness lvl/ meeting goals will nvr be off-track.

I share the same philosophies and nutrition habits with them as well, sigh i shld hv joined them in yr 1. too bad I din know of such a cca then!! :)

But well geog soc was fab too...but seriously, u dont derive an identity being a member of an acad cca/ club, u hv a stronger sense of id. being part of Team NUS.

I just want to work in NUS n contribute to my sch, for all it has given me, friends, hobbies, a healthy lifestyle, being a student here has changed my life completely.

I don't care abt salary, all i care abt is how best i can contribute to my sch/alma mater in a year's time coz if u hv e passion, u will naturally be happy working in ur job/doing what u like so I say, follow ur heart.

Be ur own person, ur life is yours to lead.

two sems of ...disappointment

tot i cld get onto the list in yr 1 sem 2 and maybe yr 3 sem 2 but sighsigh cannot cannot!

must at least 4.8 to be safe for dean's list..or this sem cut off 4.7?. oh my moi does not have excellent brains to get that kinda results!! moi struggles at times to get 4 as i hv hit below 4 if not for s/u. Moi is borderline 1st class for 3 sems, borderline 4.0 for 3 sems.

Next sem somewhere between 4 and 4.5 is gd. I dont think can hit above 4.5 anymore.

*** special mention given to my dear ex cca friend cum marathon runner mr P who did remarkably well given that he works part-time during term time! he's soooo busy, gave up running, but it's all worth it for he did so brilliantly n finally got into dean's list after 3 yrs!!! RESPECT respect!

As for me I'll try my best n nvr rest on my laurels....

It's not that I desperately want to be in it, but I believe in doing my best and letting God do the rest. I do expect more fr myself, I am my worst critic.

more tutees n mentees

I was quite scared of tutoring before after how some feedback to parent ended up in parent screaming at kid n crying at my house (well, my relative la) n how after one session the mother told me it's ok the child was busy. That was like, 3, 4 yrs ago. I tot I sucked so much as a tutor then!

Now, at least I got some gd results: my ex PSLE kid has 278, eng from A to A* and one sec 4 pupil highest in class for compre 35/50 after weekly drilling sessions.

N all those lousy students recommended by agency, well, somehow they were too busy with remedial n thank GOD i no longer tutor them. Their laziness really tells me they CMI.

I'm not as gd or inspiring a tutor as John as my main motive, is tt it is a monetary transaction. To me, I work to live n do hobbies. I will nvr do transcribing for free like dear n v nice Winnie nor give free tuition unless to friends n juniors. On my 22nd bdae I had to spend an evening at some CMI pupil's house I felt so emo n wanted to cry at how I spend time with ppl who don't matter at all on impt occasions.

In short, my life motto being to work to live, I feel like working in NUS upon grad so I can join my team for trainings after work. In fact, tt I'm NOT doing hons thesis or ISM, is mainly becoz I want to cater time to CCAs n tuition. The truth is, if writing a thesis is a legacy, I rather help my juniors in their acad and see them get them get the grades they want. Tt to me is a legacy. N no I dont expect anything in return either. GD KARMA, what goes ard comes ard, I hope, I'll just get better results thru helping ppl.

N yes ACAD WELFARE I believe, is truly abt helping ppl vet essays n stuff and NOT organizing some one off workshop...the idea nvr took off anyway did it?
