Just managed to update the updates that I have been meaning to do.
Do scroll down past the handwriting post if you wanna read =]
Happy Chinese New Year to all.
Will post more recent stuff once I finish studying.
Love you all lots!

What does your handwriting say about YOU?
The results of your analysis say:
You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are negative, fearful, resistant, doubtful, and/or selfish.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You are self-confident and like to bring attention to yourself.

From the hustle and bustle of rushing here and there..
Just some quick updates,
So that at least all who read knows what has been happening to me
Not that you might be interested though..
Gee, just a narcissistic part of me
That needs to share with everyone
Saturday:
Cadet Talentime - Total screwed up
Was a JO that day
And i am sure the 4 JOs have never experienced what we did before.
Talk about PR-ing..
But RGS won!!
Yet again!!
Yes.. that was worth spending my Sat there.
I remember.. the tears that automatically came to my eyes..
When RGS was announced as the overall champions.
I am really glad for such juniors.
They carry the RGSRCY name high.
Sunday:
A day of gatherings.
Rushed from blood donation to meet my year
Gals were late as usual;
Found Memoirs wonderful
But then the response to it was varied.
Good meeting Ivy too!
Been a long time since we met.
Was supposed to go for LUSH
But was cancelled cos everyone is busy with new year.
Pity though..
Cos i really like the company there;
Not forgetting the things i get to "learn"
Met up with my Hwa Chong classmates;
We all really did change alot from then til now
Not only in appearances,
But also in other ways like behavioural etc.
Relationships are formed;
Relationships are broken.
I guess we all just grow up and change in our own lil ways
They are still good ppl to communicate with though
=]
And that's all for now..
The weekend before this New Year weekend =]
1/26/2006 06:18:00 PM
Sheesh..this place is so quiet;
So unlike SMU Library.
I almost daren't cough
For fear of disturbing others..
In any case, this is supposed to be a conducive environment
Nonetheless, I find myself easily distracted;
By the cleaning auntie who keeps walking by,
The people coming in and out,
And my laptop =]
Will go back to studying..
Right after this, I promise.
Before I go;
Just thought i would share some pictures,
Of the injuries i got and couldn't resist taking pics of.
Though i think its a bit gross and sick;
But oh well..
Just another part of me =]
This was in 2004; gotten when demonstrating the dance with wire sticks. =]
-Some SRC Anniversary, i think-
This was gotten last Sunday; when pushing a bike down a bridge.
*Talk abt falling on a bike; not pushing it*
This is the aftermath of last Sunday's bruise, after much rubbing.
Lucky can be covered by skirts =]

who profess to be comfortable being single,
I do wonder if I am meant to be like them.
Of course there are those who believe that
"those who say they want to be single, often are the first few to get attached"
I then wonder if I will be one of those
I think that the basis of all this is that I am confused.
Which side of the grass does seem greener to me?
Which side of the grass will not give me the runs when I pasture there?
I like freedom and independence;
I like having someone to run to.
I fear a mundane relationship;
I fear uncertainty to an extent.
I like feeling secure;
And that comes from knowing which side of the fence I lie
I think I know what I want;
I still don't know which part of the field i prefer
But i think I just want to know where my own skin lies.
It's ultimately about being certain
Knowing what to expect from life
And thus deciding how to adapt.
Writing it all out makes my thoughts clear.
It's a healing process.

It means that I am an extrovert, who goes by intuition
Feeling through perception
The NF component of the result indicates that I am an idealist,
The NFP implies that i am an advocator of things,
preferring to confer and tutor.
Being an ENFP is likened to being a champion;
an example of which Martin Luther King was provided =]
I like the sound of my results
So for those who want to know me better:
Here goes:
Characteristics:
-Instinct for interpersonal integration
-Learn ethnics with zeal (yes.. dun cheat $$ with me)
-Becomple diplomatic leaders
-Speak in metaphorical or abstract world of their imagination (is that what it is?)
-Emphatic, benevolent =]
-Trust their intuitive feelings
-Hunger for deep, meaningful relationships
-Wish for a little romance every day =]
I find the last one particularly true!! Even though it's like a mini secret
Social Relationships:
-Strive for mutuality
-Provides spiritual intimacy for mates
-Continuous self renewal for self
So there.. hope you learnt something more about the one here =]

And 2006 has been quite interesting for me. =]
I am normally adverse to telling people all the blessings I have;
For fear that I will lose them..
Yes, I am quite superstitious when it comes to such stuff
After all, I still want my blessings!
But after realising that the year hasn't been just all good..
I reckon its quite safe to share. =]
The bad.. you have heard, from my last entry.
For once, I am only doing 4 modules..
Sigh.. i hope i can do as well as I did in previous semesters;
And that doing less modules is not equals to doing less studying
Another change that I thought was bad..
is that my student had shifted house.. again!
And its to a super ulu, on-top-of-a-slope flat.
Not kidding.. there is no direct bus service in, and I got to walk pretty far
About 10 to 15 minutes walk from the bus stop..
Which is okay if I am not carrying my laptop..
And it ain pouring. =[
Lucky for me..
It hasn't poured when I made my first attempt today
And guess what, I got a fee-raise for the extra "trouble"
Frankly, it's not the cash that is the blessing,
It just feels good that my effort is recognised.
Although the cash certainly helps =]
So counting my blessings:
1. Fee-raise plus one recommendation to another prospective student's parent =]
All these extra cash goes alot to help for my projected expenditure in the next few months.
2. Advanced tuition fees =] I got my first payment today, even though it's my first lesson of the year..
and I din even ask for it!
3. The feel-good feelings that came with the first tuition of the year.
A good start abodes well!
Apart from all these,
I have managed to complete all my New Year clothes' shopping!
Maybe I am just less choosy,
But I am very very satisfied with all the items I got this year. =]
And not forgetting, the most drastic change in my appearance so far..
Hehz.. my hair!
I got it dyed last Friday..
A shocking attention grabbing colour!
I really din planned for that..
I just trusted the teacher at the salon
And it turned out like this
Sadly.. a few washes have dimmed the colour..
In my opinion.. a little disappointing
In Mom's opinion, it looks better
Less wild in her words,
So if you guys see me now,
Pls tell me honestly what you think.
And just some reflections in retrospect:
I am glad for everything that has happened this year
I want to always remember to be thankful for the things that happen
Good or bad.. having strength to see them through is the most important.
And I want to tell everyone who is around me
Thank You so much for your presence.
And thanks for allowing me to grow the way I want;
To explore the stuff that I need to,
And to develop as what I am.
I have no regrets as to what I did last year..
And the decisions I made. =]

Can't say the same for the other happenings.
The whole NUS exchange is simply too upsetting
NUS students, I really don't mean this post to offend.
I am just sharing my own views about the exchange
If you think you cannot accept my sharing,
Don't read on
As I was saying,
It was a nightmarish Tuesday
After registration,
I had to manually walk from department to department
To arrange for tutorials and "beg" for addition of modules.
Can you imagine if i had taken 5 modules?
NUS ain that small
Lucky for me, I had Wendy for company..
Otherwise, I think I would have had broken down.
From the lady who snapped at me
Cuz I din write down the tutorial class numbers for Jap
and thus couldn't effectively register
To the business department,
Where we were referred from one office to another
Only to speak to another lady
Who told me to wait til my timetable came out on Friday
Then I could add/drop online
Since Business School has their own special program
Only to have her change her words
After I probed further and explained that I was not givn any business modules at all.
Her conclusion: I could be put on the appeal list..
My conclusion: The Business system is too confusing. She did not convince me
I walked out of there..
Totally utterly feeling defeated
Blisters had formed on my feet
I don't know how to carry on.
Decided to proceed after awhile
Thanks to Wendy's encouragement
Which she did it unknowingly.
I really need to learn to appreciate the people around me more.
Thanks alot Wendy-dear
Went to the Sociology department then
Where the staff was not at all sure
Of what I wanted
Only finally to realise and inform me
Tutorial registration starts 2 weeks later for them.
My wish list:
-For them to have a united system as a school
-To be able to convince me of the necessity of many systems otherwise
Anyway.. my plan was then to drop whatever I am doing
And to just stick with what I had
Which is 3 modules at SMU;
And 1 at NUS
Which is pretty crap for an exchange..
But I am really not prepared to go through everything again otherwise
But NUS system doesn't allow me to do that again!
I can't drop modules online..
Contrary to what I was told.
*faintz
So my solution now:
Email the NUS registrar,
See what they say,
And if I really need to,
Rope in SMU registrar to help me.
This whole exchange is really wreaking havoc on my studies
Can't even start studying in peace.
I abhor such uncertainity
May it all improve.
My patience is running low.
My fuse is running short.

When we cannot stay up for one whole night
Without experiencing the effects of headaches and feeling sick.
In short, the feeling of being "deaded"
Planned to return home from Jo's home after year gathering,
In the end we got too enraptured by Mahjong
So we stayed over
Watched Vampire's date before resuming
All the "pong" and "eating" =]
I still believe it can be played in English =p
Zonked out at Jo's place at 6am
Slept for an hour & a half
Before being woken to go for breakfast..
Reached home around 9 plus,
Finally slept at 10am
Woke up around 3pm to get some stuff ready for school
And then felt like I had to sleep again at 8
Only waking up at 11.30pm
Was having numb limbs then,
Courtesy of being deaded in my bed
And my head was aching
Hence the necessity for editing now.
I wonder if what I did on 010106
Is a symbol of what is to come this year.
Not so much the excess of playing mahjong
But rather that of doing what I really wanted at that moment
Being flexible to change;
And really putting my wants before my mom's wishes.
It's really not easy.
Had to deal with her cold treatment;
And feeling so estranged from her.
Sounds selfish,
But I really hope it's a symbol of what 2006 will be
And that I will stick it through
Cuz I am really glad I did.

Haha.. had a New Year gathering with yearmateys.
Jolly good time such that we impromptu stayed over =]
Will write about it later.
In the meantime, I guess I wun have time to write my "resolutions"
So will post something that I really want to remember in the new year.
Gotten this off Wee's blog.. who got it off Wendy's;
Guess all RGS girls cannot resist remembering this:
The song that guided us through our secondary sch days..
And more..
From High Olympus flows to us the glory
On us the Sacred Fire descends
Rise Sisters rise, the world is all before ye
Fear not to grasp what fortune sends
Sisters in learning and Sisters at heart
Life lies before us, here's luck to the start..
A little while the sun shines high above us
And youth's elixir fills our veins
The magic fire that moves the gods to love us
The fire by which the will attains
Sisters in learning and sisters at heart
Life lies before us, here's luck to the start..
So heart to heart we'll scale the heights of learning
No mean desires our days shall shame
Wholehearted, true, with pride and ardour burning
On sisters, on to life and fame
Sisters in learning and sisters at heart
Life lies before us, here's luck to the start..

Dreams
To be out and open
Independence
To be totally Christ-like
I believe that:
Courage is not an absence of fear
but the willingness to face up to the circumstances in spite of the fear.
Desires
A Pair of Pretty Sandals!
CPA! Achieved!
Investment Guru
dislikes
creepy crawly "things"
Unnecessary politics
Goals
get driving license
start my own business
to create my own hedge fund
