韩流来袭

안녕하세요~!!!

I am going crazy over a particular Korean variety show these days. The title of the Korean variety show is We Got Married. OMG!! It's darn nice. Hahaha. It's actually a reality show which brings Korean pop idols together and let them experience a married life.

I know many of you will probably think that I am mad now. Hahhaa.

I dont care. It's really a really really really nice show~!!!!

OMG!!! I cant seem to get enough of the show till I went to look at all the previous episodes~~!!! Hahahaa.

Gosh~! When will the next episode be coming up?!?!?!

Rude Taxi Driver

I woke up late today and I need to cab to school.

The taxi driver was really rude~!

I wanted the taxi to just go straight after it entered NTU because the taxi had to go straight or i will never reach my destination. Thus, I said, "Uncle，你一直走直直。”

Know what is his reply??

OMG! He was darn rude!!!!

This was his reply!!!!

“小弟，去Changi也是一直走直直leh!!"

WTF!

Furthermore, it was in a really sarcastic tone!!!

Is he having his Monday blues~!!! What's wrong with my instructions!!

Anyway, I just feel like posting this photo. Hahhaa.


My attempt at an emo pic. Hahaha.

I seem to enjoy being alone these days~! Hahhaa.

Anyway, credits to YiLong for taking this photo for me.

Bye.

Giving Up Of Seats

Reserved seating/priority seats are common sights on trains in developed countries. Being a first world country, the trains in Singapore definitely have reserved seating.



Actually, I always give up my seat for those who need it more than me. I think you can also give up your seat even if you are not sitting on the reserved seats. However, there are times when I am unsure if I should give up my seat! Hahaha.


1) Is He/She Old Enough

First, I am unsure if that uncle or auntie is consider old enough. Seriously, how old is old? Hahaha. I think someone in his/her 50s is still consider rather young. Usually, I only give up my seats to those who look really feeble. I am not trying to be mean but the retirement age is now set at more than 62. I cant be giving up my seat for someone who is deems fit and healthy to work by the government. Furthermore, some may find it an insult if they think they are not that old. Today, an auntie stood right in front of the reserved seat and starting staring at the guy who was sitting on the reserved seat. Complying to the immense pressure let out the eyes of the lady, the guy just offered his seat to her. I felt rather puzzled because that lady look like she is just in her 40s. She could be at the very most in her early 50s....I wont give up my seat for her. Hahha.

2) Pregnant or fat

Next, I am always unsure if the lady is fat or she is pregnant. Some ladies have thin limbs so when they have bulging tummies, i can easily see that they are pregnant. However, some are not really slim and it makes it hard for me to determine if she is pregnant or fat. I am sure you must have watched several sponsored variety shows of channel 8 by Expressions, Jean Yip or London Weight Management! Often, girls on these variety shows mentioned that they sink into depressions because many give up reserved seats to them thinking that they are pregnant! I don't wish to be a baddie!!!! Hahhaa. Therefore, I will choose the safest way if i am unsure and continue to sit on my seat.

Okay, i guess this summarizes my dilemmas when it comes to giving up of seats to the others. Hahhaa.

Just felt like blogging because of what i saw this evening. Hahhaa. I guess it's a break from the stress the comes from my mid term this friday!!!

Uni life is boring and tough. Tons of stuff to study.

Bye~!!!

When Studying Goes Wrong

As the title of this entry suggests, this is what happens when studying goes wrong.




Hahhaa. I need to make better use of my recess week to catch up with the others!!!

AHHH....Taiwan!!!!!

Friends in Green

This afternoon, I was chatting about my army life with my classmates.

I find out that it's hard not to talk about army after being in it. Hahaha.

I chose this photo because I was from the batch that get to wear both types of uniforms. Hahaha.

I do agree that serving national service can be a waste of time but I am glad that I have completed it. Often, I listen to others talk about their experiences while giving their advices to me before I enlist. Now, it's my turn to talk about my experiences to my younger cousins before they enlist. Hahaha. I am also happy that I went through my 2 years of national service without "chao genging" except for a single day when I had live firing! Hahahaa. Lastly, I forged great friendships during my stay in the unit. I think our friendship is especially strong because we have been through hardships together. Even now, my army friends and I still talk about our outfields experiences! Ha. Oh yeah, i wont and cant forget my really dumb ps who always annoy me too! Hahaha.

A blury photo of my army friends and me.

Thanks for your gifts!! Hahaha.

Bye!

平凡不过的21岁生日

生日快乐！

Wedding = Socialising

Went to my cousin wedding yesterday.

My cousin held her wedding at Meritus Mandarin Hotel.

This was my outfit for the wedding.

I think I need to grow some meat. Hahhaa. I look skinny.

I felt a little tired during the wedding as I had to do a lot of socialising. Hahaha. During the wedding, I had to put up a pretentious smile when talking to my uncles, aunties and cousins. Questions like when are you getting a girlfriend/boyfriend and when are you getting married are always posed to the younger generation. Perfect starters for conversations!!! Seriously, I am sure many of us are sick of answering these questions. However, we still have to reply our relatives with a smile because they are JUST being concerned. Hahaha. I am not really pissed off but this has already become the norm for all family gatherings. I dont always meet up with my relatives so I dont think it's okay for me to tell them about my relationships once I see them. I believe my relatives will probably think that I am mad if I suddenly start sharing all my problems with them yesterday. Nevertheless, I think I am rather close to some of my relatives.

However, I am not too sure what kind of questions can we ask during family gatherings. I got to admit that I ask lame questions like how is school and when are you enlisting too. Hahaha.

Okay okay. I guess I need get used to this since i am guilty of asking lame questions too. Hahhaa.

Anyway, I offically declare that I am too stupid for musical instruments.

Anyway, I should be studying but I am not!!!!

Bye!!

Random

A random entry. Hahaha.

Went studying with Melvin and Meiqing at NIE yesterday. Overall, we chatted quite a bit but I managed to complete some of the work. Anyway, it's definitely better than when I am studying at home. The computer and the television is just too much of a temptation.


Empty canteen.


Messy table. Hahhaa.

Meiqing and Melvin hard at work.

Took a photo of ourselves before we left. Hahhaa.

Anyway, have you guys bought the I-weekly this week?

It is the one with Donnie Yen on the cover. My article is published! =)))

I had actually sent out my article the week before so I thought it would be published last week. However, i saw my article this week instead. Hahhaa. Sometimes, life is just about uncertainties.

Yeah. This is my article. Actually, I find it badly written after I read it again today. It is about dialects AGAIN. Hahaha. I am always writing about dialects. Somehow, my articles on dialects seem to be striking a chord with the editors more. Hahaa.

Nevertheless, I still won myself a watch from Cosmopolitian. It's a ladies watch but I can probably give it to my mom. I am hoping that they will change the prize when I claim for it next month. Hahhaa. Anyway, they always do so.

As usual, the editors made changes to my article. This was what I had orginally written.

阮的批

很喜欢上星期杨丽玲的《自由论》。

喜欢江蕙，也喜欢台语歌。庆幸自己小时候是公公带大的，所以还能够听得懂福建话，并且感动于歌词的含意。曾经听人说过，台语歌曲所能带来的感动大大多于其他语言的歌曲。我原本不这么认为，但在接触了台语歌曲后，我才明白其中的道理。江蕙的《家后》，《落雨声》和《甲你揽牢牢》---- 这三首歌有着含蓄简单的歌词却能制造出澎湃动人的情感，“感动度”之然不在话下。

新加坡在过几十年将很有可能完全失去我们的方言。试问：失去了方言，我们仅仅失去了一个毫不重要的地方语言吗？

真的很希望方言能够在本地电视重见天日。

PS: 阮是台语的我的意思。批念pway，是信的意思。

I wanted to make the letter sound more interesting by giving it a hokkien title but it didn work out. Hahaha. I really thought it was creative!!!

I have a craving for snow skin mooncakes!!! Hahha.

Okay, bye!

Everything With Fries

Went dining with my best friends at Everything with Fries.

Seriously, food wasn that nice and service was really bad. First, we requested for iced water and the waitress told us that there wasn enough cups in the restaurant at the very moment!! Wth! Aren restaurants supposed to have cups more than the maximum capacity that they can manage? Next, they didn pass us the forks when they served their food. Are they expecting us to eat with our hands?!?! Lastly, they forgot an order of us and made John waited for his order for more than 30 minutes!!!! This is totally unacceptable!!

Melvin with his REALLY TOUGH pork chop.

Sometimes, it is really nice to just listen to my friends talk about lives. Hahhaa. Anyway, we were all so agitated when we talked about our skin. Hahha. I really hope that we will all have good skin.

Friends forever.

Shopping Trip

Went shopping with Meiqing yesterday.

Meiqing bought lots of pretty clothes while I just bought a book. I saw a nice vest but I wonder if it's worthwhile to get a vest now. Hahaha.



Our outfits yesterday. As usual, Meiqing dressed fasionably while I looked just like an average joe. Hahaha.

We bought books to enrich ourselves. Hahhaa. I need to buck up on the command of my chinese language now!!!! There are many Chinese and Malaysians in Chinese studies!!! They are seriously freaking me out. Hahhaa.

Shall end off with photos that were taken when we were having dinner. Hahaha.

School is starting next tuesday!!!

Friends in Ntu, feel free to meet me for lunch. =)

化妆前后

Know how much make up can change a girl!!!

Well, take a look!!!

OMG!!! Isn this exaggerating. 差太多了吧.

Take a look at this video.

Hahaha.

没有丑女人，只有懒女人。

School is starting next week. I am rather excited about it!!! Hahaha.

Bye!

汉语桥 (五)

Last entry about my trip to China.

I will let the photos do the talking because I am rather tired of writing captions for every photo. Hahaha.

Well, here are the photos.


Well, there are actually much more photos but some were badly taken. Hahhaa.

Overall, i think this China trip was really fun and I have made many good friends. On the last day of the camp, my friends all cried buckets of water! We exchanged hugs and we promised that we will keep in touch. I guess we are all so upset because we know that it will be really really difficult for us to meet again in future. Well, we are still chatting on Skype nowadays and I really hope that our friendship will last forever.

Even now, I still remember the late night chats that we had in the bedroom. I still remember how we escaped from the clutches of the Ang Mohs to have our very own "Asian" chat in Keiichi and Naoto's bedroom. I still remember the heart to heart talk at MacDonald's till the wee hours of the night with Naoto, Yoko and Rie. I still remember how wildly JooHee always dances to the rhythm. I still remember the tall mountains that we had to climb together. Hahaha. We really shared lots of happy memories.

One last photo that we took on the very last day. We didn sleep that night as some of us had to take the earliest flight at 7am from HuNan to BeiJing.


Friends forever.
