Messy Life
Right, the period of messed up life and routine is here again. I have no idea wat or how am i dealing with time. All we know is work work work. no time. countdown... 14 days left to complete the semester's major design project. gheez.
my sleep time is whenever i concussed accidentally. My work time is whenever my eyes are open. This afternoon i had a nap accidentally. and i dreamt of having this project to design. Den i was figuring out how to do the plans... many discussions going on too. And it was uncompleted still. Den I woke up. And saw my computer still on, and there it is, showing my uncompleted plans. Darn, this feeling suxs.
This is oso the time i am going to soak or drown myself in cold drinks to perk my mind up. I dun wanna try things like redbull etc. I dun trust those stuff. And i know coffee and chicken essence dun work much on me either, how much of them can i drink anyway. so wat to do, my only 'drug' would be soft drinks or any nice cold beverages. I am like a dead zombie that is kept alive by some potions. Currently there arent any soft drinks at home, so i used iced water as substitute, not too bad la. healthy oso hahaha~~~
but amazing i am like some water sucking bull now, keep getting thirsty... wat is happening to me... there are periods like that from time to time though.
More cold lonely nights coming my way. cheers~

What do i look like!???
Hmm ever since a few days ago from an afternoon nap, I feel something funny at a particular nerve.
At first, I didnt notice until each time i turned my head to the right. I felt something pulling at the edge of my left ear. I thot some hair has entangled with my ear so i tuck my hair behing the ear. Suddenly it twitched again, as though some invisible hand is pulling my ear. I got abit shocked and looked ard. This is weird. Den I tried to discover where it came from and realised it is from my internal nerve at the ear edge. Later i discovered the nerve leads all the way to the left side of my neck. oh.... did i accidentally twisted it when i slept that time?? urgh, the feeling is really uncomfortable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think last time in JC, my co-mates told me i looked like a cat..... den one JC junior said i looked like a rabbit and he gave me a furry white rabbit soft toy during the reveal of angel-mortal game i think. Den yesterday when me and sam attending the anime booth, she said i gave her a feeling somehow that I look like a rabbit. OMG. hey... wat am i? Why do i look like a cat? becos of my eyes? I know when i smile etc, my eyes would close to form slits like what a cat does when it yawns, meows, or sleeps. hmm..... den why rabbit??? issit my skin that somehow resembles the white fur of the rabbit?? Hey i am not a furry little cuddly animal that u can carry on ur arms k .... my hairs on moi's skin aint that long k. or simply i looked harmless? hmpf. why why why, someone tell me why. what do i look like then.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Dilemma - A question for all of u.
haha i think i better post this while the iron's hot~!
I juz got home and share this story of what happened to me during the bus ride to my mum. So I'm going share with u guys too! here goes:
I went to buy alot of boards and stuff, and becos i didnt sleep much last night, I'm pretty tired. I wouldnt wanna stress on weak though I didnt eat my lunch again. Anyway back to the stuff, so my package is pretty huge... and i still took a bus home, with so much stuff. I chose the seats that can face each other and placed the huge boards on the other side of the seats. They occupied the whole 2 seats juz nice while i sat at the other side leaving one seat empty beside me. After some time, there's this really huge tall guy who took the seat beside me. And I got really squashed and felt embarrassed. I was practically pressed agained the window. Hence it set me thinking whether i should stand up or continue to sit. But I feel that if i simply stood up to let him have the 2 seats, he may feel hurt or embarrassed somehow. So it's rather mind-boggling. Both of us felt uncomfortable i guess but... urgh I dun wanna him feel bad either, so i continued to sit.... Finally at my stop, I stood up and tried to carry the big boards, and have some time trying to pass through the door. The whole bus of ppl waiting for me to get down before the driver could move on. I think i was already embarrassed enuff. Then using this chance, I took a discreet glance at that guy, and I realised that he's bigger than I imagined to be. He's 3-4 times bigger than my size and one side of his butts is enuff for 1 seat. He's already spilling out into the central walkway. OMG. I felt really bad. If I have known this, I think I will heck care abt his feelings and gave up the seat. Cos I think seating comfortably will be the highest highest topmost priority for him. I think he muz have felt so hard to balance on the seat.
So I feel so paiseh.... and told mum about it and how i think the whole bus of ppl will be scolding me for being such a horrible mean person. But mum was like "huh? if that's the case, he should know not to sit down. Instead, he should wait for 2 empty seats!" Well.... i dun think it is easy to wait for both seats to be empty considering the bus is not very empty.... quite filled up but not alot of people standing though... hmm...
I am really not good in handling situations like this. Did I really think too much? Cared too much for his feelings?
So now i wanna ask, if you were me in that situation, what would you do?

Saturdays
ahh my fav sat is here again. saturdays is a day full of slackiness, as well as... some sort of sadnesss? and also a day of thinking.
Every sat night i will start to think of alot of things... happy or sad, juz anything. and realised sat is a warm day too~~ urgh, makes me difficult to do work. While bathing juz now, I was thinking alot of things... in fact not really thinking but feel rather drifted off. And so, i keep dropping my soapbar onto the pail and on the floor. gosh, my poor soap.
Today's episode of 仙剑奇侠传 is a very funny one. After all the sad and depressing episodes, they finally decided to insert this one as a more relaxing and comedian. It's a good break. I cannot stand the show if it is going to be so sad all the way. By the way in today's show, Tangyu Xiaobao acted like a crying baby and acting cute !!!! ahhh!! It's destroying my cool impression of him! Even Bryan also. Wah kao, cant stand it. haha~ Anyway i really love the starting and ending songs, anyone has them?? Can send me??? I think the songs are actually or already making me feel sad for this story. Dunno why, the voices and words are like crying their hearts out with a touch of fantasy, dream-like atmosphere.

茶点短篇 (一)
星期六的下午非常炎热,
空气闷闷的,
所以决定去一间凉快的 cafe 喝杯冰凉的 iced mocha.
正巧碰上一位朋友,
我们就聊起来。
他向我说起他的故事:
“我呀,我的心被一个女孩偷走了...”
“哦?”
他单单笑着说:
“但我终于决定把我的心找回来。”
简简单单两句话,
背后说着许多无奈,悲伤和等待。
几分钟的安静之后,我开口问道:
“那么 ... 你要在哪里把心找回来?”
“时间。”

Disturbing dreams
I always get disturbed by robots stuff.... when it is abt man and robots. I think i started feeling disturbed by such things ever since A.I. and AniMatrix. The latter one is gruesome. Den matrix oso add on abit.
A few weeks ago, ken showed us an MTV in studio, showing this robot being made in the process while the face like a human being's except it is made of more plastic material, is singing at the same time. I can feel the pain in the drilling and eletricity stuff all ard her but her face is so calm and feel nothing. That's wat it disturbs me too.
So maybe these explain why recently I have some disturbing dreams. I shall now describe briefly to you:
There are alot of things happening but hard to remember the details. The only thing i am very clear of is the part when i am transformed into a robot. I think not only me, a few of us actually. I think we are somehow dead or what. And thus we were sent to this place or factory place to do the making. They asked me if i will regret and though abit unsure, i said "No, i won't". And they start doing alot of funny business on me. I think we were made into half-man, half-robot... becos some parts of us are kept, like our skull etc. However, to case the metal stuff here and there, they have to drill bits away. I remembered they drill all my teeth away... and dunno what la, juz that I dun feel the pain. >.< quite disturbing oso. Finally the few of us are done and we were sent to do some mission. The owner told us if we still have some human feelings inside, it means the transfer or transforming not done properly, and most probably will do something to it or get scrapped? So during the mission, i was thinking that i still feel human lor, and I was pretty scared and kept quiet, trying to maintain the cold emotionless look.... soon i woke up....
wat the hell rite.... this is freaky. Like some out-of-control or malfunctioned robot that we see in the movie A.I. Yucks! and get scrapped into rubbish? No way! what kind of dream is this... I need interpreter for curious and interest sake.

Field trip~ and memories....
Yesterday (fri) our dept wanna all of us to go for this field trip to this factory... something like Corus Building Services ... they specially make aluminium roof panels... quite amazing though~~
We were separated into 2 grps. In the end due to miscommunication here and there, one batch of us got stranded in the office becos the 2 buses went off!!! they tot we had left with them... duh.... anyway they arranged another bus for us. Field trips....excursions... dont they remind us of excursions during pri or sec sch when we have trips to places like zoo etc? We always get ready our waterbottles, lined up into 2 and teachers keep putting fingers on their mouths to tell us to keep quiet all the time. Ying said she missed those schling days. Somehow deep within me... i dun feel happy at excursions during those young times, not becos the events are boring. It was something else. There's always something that occurs with the trips that make me sad each time... I cant remember anymore. I think I have sealed the memories deep within my mind somewhere... maybe cos it is something I dun wan to remember.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
每次泪水划过的地方,
都留下一道伤痕。
而我的脸上有许多数不清的痕迹,
这说明了什么。
每一次的劳累,
会在皮肉刮上一道伤痕。
在我手上密密麻麻的皱纹,
在我脸上显现出的苍老,
这代表了什么。
活着是多么辛苦,
为何还撑下去。
或者可以换另一个角度看
何必那么悲观?
可以试着这把伤痕
看成树叶上的叶痕,
沙漠上被风吹后留下的波浪,
墙上低档风雨后的隙缝,
地毯上的图案,
或云在蓝天上形成的雪白棉花丝。
但逼自己去想象乐观的景色,
最终只是欺骗自己。

accidental isurances for archi students?
Hey I realised how easy accidents can happen and it's always juz luck or lucky that we get to avoid it.
I juz had a close encounter into getting blind. haha... wat did i do? well i was trying to hammer in a nail for a rough model design. The nail is abit small but not too small... abt 1 to 1.25 cm long. I tried to hold it with a pier while hammering with a penknife (cos the space area for hitting is too small to let hammerhead go thru. Thus I used a great amt of force to push it through the thick mount board and foam board unitl my veins on my hands surfaced. Suddenly the whole thing got off-vertical and 'pop', it went flying all the way to the back of my spectacles. Yes, behind the lens and hit into my right eyelids. If i hadnt have small eyes or squinting my eyes abit while using force, it would have touched my pupil or anywhere close. Cos I feel the sharp end on the tip of my upper eyelids. Omg I was pretty scared. In the following times, I did with my eyes totally closed while trying hard to make the nail go in straight. All by feeling, instinct and balance...
Cuts are common, needless to say. Well, i got torn and tattered nails with swollen fingers now.... During this time of the sem, it's always like that. Haha, I have an archi fren who puts "I need manicure" on her msn nick now.
Tests from Usp are coming n I havent done a single revision. Stress? Too stressed to feel stress.
Really, I tink archi students underwent physical and mental training tat are not easily imagineable by non-archi people. It is juz different types from others I guess. Having to rack brains out on design, coping with critiques and wacking from tutors, doing research and testing, arguing and thinking of concepts, urban and tech details to be included, den rushing the production by the deadline, juggling with other modules that simple clash with our work all the time. Getting all worn out but as u keep looking at the clock n breaking cold sweat, u tell urself no matter how dead u are, u have no choice but continue. And you keep on cutting and pasting without neuronal acitivities in ur brain. Like numb. It's all nerve wracking and spine chilling, brows knitting and getting headache. Skipping meals and some skipped bathing and washing up during stayovers, irregular dozing but always dragging ur zombie body onwards. Seeing lines and forming images in mind, and finally rounding all up and piece everying jigsaw puzzles that are scattered all over the world together. Ok, shant brag on further but really the experience is amazing and awesome, awesome to the stage that once u went through it, and u survived it, nothing else can really beat u down flat. 3 years in archi is coming soon and we have grown so much. Hanging on there while walking on tight rope. Who would like to come experience the wonderful survivor game in NUS with us? Join us manz haha~~~

Campus Superstar~ and many more abt me
Today's campus superstar is the males' turn. I think the guys seem stronger than the girls. Last week, it is easy to see who is better and overall they are pretty much good. After this week's, i find that most of the guys have their own unique-ness and skills. It is not easy to say who is better. They are more competent on stage, really.
Hey, guess what, there's a hwa chiongian guy in there~ He's M5 and currently JC1. Name is Huang ZhiYang. Though he didnt have funny actions and movements like M3 (forgot his name but i find him good too) who is the 2nd best for tonight, M5 chose a song, i think is by David Tao: 谁代表我的心 and got the best score for this round!!! He sang much to the groove and judges said he brought out the essence ("smell" in chinese) of the song. The beat is there, and he carried himself well and has made his stage his own. M3 did too but his is the more comedian side with the song "My Anata". Zhiyang has a high-pitched voice or rather, sharp but very clear and clean voice. Yea, among the other contestants, I think he's more at ease with Mandarin than others. Meaning, his chinese is better... But trying to imitate the fast groove of david tao in this song made him sounded as if he cannot articulate the words well at certain parts. Yup, i think 我看好他。I'm sure he can do better still. And of cos, his my junior k.... from hwa chiong mah, so i gonna support him manz, but of cos not to the extent of going to the stage and yell like crazy nor voting via phone like crazy. I dun even know him k, but i will give mental support!!! haha, ppl, support M5 Huang Zhiyang!! He's good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If u asked me what would I like to do or be, I have a list:
1) Singer
2) Dancer
3) Pianist
4) Violinist
5) of cos, i will still like to be artist
If I have more control over hearing and feeling of tune, pitch and beat/rhythmn of music, and also without difficulty of learning of music tadpoles, and have that great amt of confidence, I would definitely DEFINITELY join singing competitions like this. I really love singing, but no one truly feels it cos most of the time I'm like doing work and I dun haf time to go KTV so much. KTV aint cheap anyway. So who actually knows tat I am singing 50% of the time as well. While bathing, while drawing, while walking/strolling, as long as there's the mood.
I watched the news after the superstar thingy and realised that a new bridge is going to be constructed at Marina Bay and students from pri and sec sch will contribute artworks. I realised that I have outgrown the age and time when I would be one of those students who participate eagerly in drawing activities and competitions as usual then. But now.... look at me. All of us too busy with current studies or out of the age range. Oh no, is there still room for me in such activities next time? I feel so outcasted, feel so... no longer available for it. sob sob....
For dancing.... did anyone know I actually dance in Kindergarten even though it is just a few times? A group of us represented our PAP kindergarten by dancing a Japanese dance in Kimono and jappy fans and we went around different Community Centres during Children's Day dancing for audiences? And did anyone know go and try more dancing performances. If i am daring enuff, I wanna try hip hop too~ did anyone know I joined my class in sec 1 (or 2, cant remember) for class cheer and we did some hip hop moves? We got the best cheering class anyway~
And finally... more about music. I always hope I am able to play instruments like piano or violin, flute is not bad too, and move people with my music. And find solitude for myself in playing them as well. I can play pipa and zhongruan last time. It is juz different feel la, they are the eastern side..... if i really wan, gu zhen is not bad but actually quite boring if u played it longer. I dun have the chance to take up western instruments again, needless to say learning the tadpoles. I believe they will give me peace and solitude whenever I play them, juz like when I hum a few tones of my voice, it is also very mind-calming to myself. It is something like self-meditation, self-searching and finding peace within oneself. And I do wish people who hear it will feel it as well.

Another TV day
ooo i hope u guys enjoyed the little short children story i wrote in previous blog. :) hope u guys feel inspired in some ways or another. haha
well i get to watch 2 shows again as usual on Saturday night. yup..... 仙剑奇侠传 is again a saddening show to watch. It hurts so much to watch it dat sometimes I ask myself why watch it when it is so hurtful, den stop la! But I know i will always wan to know everything, watch everything to the very end even though it is hurtful. Since i started watching the show, I should finish it. This is juz me.
okok i wont post anymore comments on it. Haiz, the more i watch Tangyu Xiaobao, the more I like him. The way he look at A-Nu is something that u see le, u feel so happy for him. And u really can feel how much he feels for A-Nu. I dunno how to explain but it is something heart-warming. U should see it for urself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not fair. Why is it always u to end up getting hurt? Why is it only u? Is it worth it? It is not fair.

A little girl and a cat
muahhahaha it's 5am already and i shld be going to sleep rather than rambling stuff here. ok will sleep after this k. Got some inspiration so muznt let it go by before i forget.
小女孩仍然坐在小屋外,对着草原歌颂,与许许多多的鸟儿陪伴着她。鸟儿们洁白的羽毛在阳光的照射下,化作小小的天使,在女孩的身边跳跃。这个景色好像是属于小女孩的天堂、乐园。当女孩忙着与鸟儿玩;忙着对大自然歌颂的时候,草原的一个角落来了一个不明的客人。
小女孩果然没留意到这个客人的存在。渐渐的,悄悄的,这个“人”在那小块的草地上建了自己的家, 还围了一道墙。原来这个客人是一只可爱的猫咪。当它的家盖好之后,它从小窗口探出头来,看一看在草原上的小女孩。可见,小女孩继续忙着自己的节目,有如活在自己的世界与空间里,对外来的事不闻不问。猫觉得女孩虽很靠近它,而且还在屋外的草原上,但总觉得有一道看不见的墙围绕着她。猫探回头继续他自己的节目。
这么多天过了,当猫儿觉得女孩很疏远时,这时候的她其实一直都在默默地注意着猫咪的家。小女孩当然不敢冒冒然地去打个招呼,毕竟她有一点害羞,也不知道怎么开口。女孩觉得猫咪很疏远她,看那厚厚的墙,似乎不愿被她和其他人打扰,因此小女孩继续做她的事情。偶尔会用眼睛描一描猫的住处,一直盼望有一天猫咪会出来跟她说说话。一个星期过了,然后一个月过了,情况仍然不变,小女孩非常难过,尝试不睬猫咪的方向一眼,担心还是有着丝丝的心酸。
这时候,猫咪也正在想着相同的事。它的心也很难受,一直希望小女孩会过来问候。一直等啊等,却没消息。它认为女孩非常孤僻,陌生,不爱和人说话。猫咪很苦恼,不知道怎么开口才好。
因此,两方面都一直等,一直期望对方会有所行动。大家都很不开心。
终于有一天,猫咪与女孩同时受不了了,他们准备向对方打个招呼。当女孩正要敲门的时候,猫咪忽然开了门。“啊!" 大家一起叫了起来,被吓了一跳。接着他们大笑了起来。猫咪邀请女孩进屋子里,然后彼此谈了起来, 过着一个难忘、快乐的下午。但从这一刻起,他们接下来的日子可不同了。
天气又再度明朗,鸟儿们也在女孩与猫的草原上跳跃,和他们俩来个大歌颂。大自然也为他们拍手叫好。
--------------------
这个故事想说是,很多时候命运和未来是在你自己的掌握中。大自然给你机会,而你自己必须懂得什么时候去争取或做选择,而不是等就可以成功。等,什么也不会改变。为何让你自己和让别人难受,为什么要对自己过意不去,为什么要伤害自己和别人呢?一个人不可以一直依赖别人的主动或督促,偶尔也该换一换你了!
你知道吗,你的一举一动,你的每一个选择,都可以改变未来。一个小小的举动,可以让另一个历史开始,另一个新体验。请你要好好的作决定哦!还等什么?开始行动吧!
