Choices

Life is about making choices that mattered to you. Chat with instructor taught me more than driving skills. And I think i'm evil in some of my remarks. OKAY. Shall not be so evil. And I realised humour is such a beautiful thing. Having empathy is such a nice trait too.

Listening and finding out more about the family of these two instructors made me realised that happy family can be maintained if one put in hardwork. I wonder how my future will be in the future after I get married. And I think men with a family to work hard for are so charming.

Feels weird to have my driving lesson cut down to only one or two per week.

Walking down the Memory Lane

I spent 4 hours of my time last night, not to spend time with friends but to sort out all the cards and letters I have received thus far. The numerous letters that I exchanged with my friends during secondary school days reminded me of the silly teenage days I had. I would be a different me if I wasn't in g e ss.

I learnt so much from all my friends, good or bad, during those days. It is very sweet to read the letters/cards again, knowing that there's always someone there for me, even though I have my irritating side. ewww.. There were also funny quarrel letters that we sent each other to pin-point the unhappiness we had for each other for some. And after reading them, I'm more certain than ever to keep friends who stayed by me through thick and thin.

Thankful much. :') Meaningful sat night.

Random memory of Taiwan trip

Just recalled an incident in Taiwan which I locked and changed my luggage lock (unknowingly) in the hotel room. And of cos I was in a panic to solve the lock because I needed to take something from the luggage bag before we head out for the day. I was fortunate to have sm to logically try the code one by one and he solved it in after around 10min.

This incident made me realized that each of us makes silly mistakes, and we need each other to overcome each other's shortcoming.

We need to learn from each unfortunate accident/incident and become a better person. This should be the conclusion for my last blog post. And the twist of this story is that I did an illogical action by buying the first 4D ticket of my lifetime. Lol. :)

Zoooooooooooo. And I love giraffe and the girls of cos! :)

Okay, when I'm not.

It's not so bad if it is a once-off feeling; It's bad when it is a feeling of remorse, guilt and feeling of failure as if I can never do better and beat my old self. I used to look forward to each session of driving and each served as a motivation for me to carry on with my mundane life. Unfortunately, it has since became a burden that I'm holding on. But I'm not gonna let this continue. Never ever.

I didn't want to write about driving because I was afraid that I'll jinx it somehow, as if that someone above will cast out my name if I were to proclaim that I am learning to drive.

I knew that I was gonna be a havoc on road. And I'm gonna make it my last. last accident.

I'm sorry.

I will do better.

Better and better.

Move on.

Decided that its really not your fault; its mine.
If I can improve, u wouldn't have to do what u do.
So, adjust myself.

That aside, I am trying to update my phone software myself and its quite a bitch. nvm, i'll be independent and solve whatever problems that is to come. and as I was bored, I decided to google on "how to be independent". lol. And I found something which I thought I should remind myself.

" Be determined. Never doubt that you can make progress, even if there are setbacks -- advance again. Consider that progress toward your goals is how to measure your kind of success. Discover your interests and direction in life, then define your goals to get there. The person who can stop you from doing things that move toward your own goals is yourself. "

I need to be good enough for myself.

Entertained much

Mon, tues, thurs, fri, sat, sun this week! Gonna have my fav lesson. Always entertained much by the slacker-instructor; he'll talk about his worst experience, best experience (seldom), daily grumbles (about work), updating phone software, rest day activities, etc. Lol. The other instructor, the stricter instructor is nice too! He reminds me of another friend of mine, kan chiong spider.

Sorted out my thinking. Shall remind myself that having a simple life is a way to have blessed life too. I know I'm afraid of not being able to meet my own expectations. and life is so unpredictable for the time to come!

Have faith in each other and work things out, together. Believe.


I will tame my temper.

A busy valentine's day

This year's valentine's day is busier than ever.

Started the morning with an interview, which did not land me in a job which I was hoping to get into, unfortunately. I just felt that there is something wrong. Well, learning to take things in my stride.

As the interview ended way earlier than I have expected it to, I went home, took a shower before going out for weeeeeeeeee~ haha. Each lesson is a new experience and there's more to watch out for. I shall admit that I'm quite disappointed that my progress is very slow. Let's hope i'll get all the things right and improve much!

After that I travelled to Han 's and to my surprise, I reached there earlier than sm. Forgot what I did there but anyway then we went to bugis and had ramen for dinner. Simple and nice! And I had coax sm into walking to have ice-cream at haji lane successfully! I heard that there's a nice ice-cream shop there that serves interesting ice-cream, like squid ink flavour and since I have not been to haji lane, I wanted to give it a shot! I'm quite disappointed by the limited number of flavours though; Tom 's Palette and Daily S coop is better, in my opinion. Or Once upon a M ilkshake, for a cozy and pretty environment. And we walked to plaza sing from there! Sm must be feeling that he should be extra nice to me that's why he agreed to walk to plaza sing with me. (Background story: he hates to walk long distance). We ended that day with neoprints and pinball at arcade. :)

What does our friendship mean to you?

I do not understand people who do not reply to sms. WHY?
This only means that I am not important to you. Yup, thats all.

I have been thick-skinned recently, doing call-to-get-rebate kind of action and to ask a classmate who is on my fb friend list for tips for interview (when I had never talk to him face-to-face before). Thankful for tips received and hope good karma goes to him! woohoo!

I need to speak in proper english for interview. No allowance for Singlish to jeopardise my chance of presenting well in front of the interviewer. Need to do my homework!

2012 has been good for me so far!

Went to Taiwan, met up with my old time friends, chinese new year, going to the flower exhibition are some of the activities that I started 2012 with. Let's hope that 2012 will continue to be an awesome year for me and people around me! :)

新年 2012

今年的新年少了一些亲情的感觉。
少了大家庭热闹的气氛，多了大人们之间的矛盾。
我说过，我因为不想陷入“家庭政治”的缠局里，所以宁可不吭声，凝视着妈妈与姐姐如何摆平那一切。
看着其他朋友热热闹闹的新年大家庭庆祝会，我心里除了一点的妒忌，还有一点的惋惜，好景不长在，岁月不留人。

Family politics

It's not difficult to arrange an activity, meal or venue. What's difficult is when politics between different people come into place. And I do not want to engage myself into any politics and thus refuse to get involved. I feel rather sad to know that this is the kind of situation we get after our grandparents passed away.

Shall cherish what I have because I'll never know what will happen next.

On a side note, long break I have for cny this year! :D

Our boyfriends

I met up with two gfs last fri and had a good time discussing what our boyfriends do- the nonsense we tolerate. Girls talk has always been an enjoyable experience. Sharing session of the good and bad experiences :)

As much as I sound irritated, I feel blessed and fortunate that you found me and I found you. Thanks for reminding me how important family is.

Went to make small cny munchie cake on Sunday. Wee~

AND, I'm not done with my packing! xp

Taiwan for New Year 2012!

Gonna briefly note down the things we did:

Day 1
We reached Changi Airport at around 5.30~6.00am, checked in our luggage and had mac breakfast. Following which we board the plane and by the time we reached tw Taoyuan Airport was around noon. Searched for the youth card registration details and free-go bus from airport to hotel (of course, and also how we should travelled from hotel back to Taoyuan on the last day). By the time we checked in to Pink Lotus Hotel was around 3~pm. We went for a steamboat lunch/dinner nearby which had 甘蔗汤 (which I don't understand because the stock didn't taste extra sweet like sugar cane juice would) and free-flow salad bar. Nightfall comes early during this time of the year and it was quite dark by the time we left the restaurant. And we went to 士林夜市。

Day 2
Exploring the hot spring facilities after breakfast
淡水 (bought the tall ice-cream, a puff full of red bean paste, ah gei and 铁蛋 )
渔人码头
Photo-taking day  ^_^v ^_^v ^_^v ^_^v
Steak, bead and soup dinner.

Day 3
Breakfast at hotel before we checked out and moved to Kingshi Hotel at Xi Men Ding.
Wanted to visit the SM Entertainment store but forgot to note down the exact address.
Walked around Taipei Main Station.
Xin wasn't feeling well so xin and jac went back to the hotel first while sm and I walked through the shops at Taipei Main Station and went to Ferris wheel! Rushed for dinner because we wanted to get back in time to queue for the only all-around transparent carriage. So scary inside! Viewed the night scenery of Taipei. Bought Digimon Movie 1. Legs gave way so we went back to have dim sum supper.

Day 4
Tour Taipei day! We went to the SM Entertainment and bought the rest of the digimon movies (I find it funny that when others go SM Entertainment store to buy merchandise for their idols, we were there to buy digimon cartoon movies). Next, we went to J ay Chou's Secret Theme restaurant! wee~ One of my fav movies. :) Following that was the visit to Taipei 101 and 饶河夜市。

Day 5
Originally planned to go Jiu Fen but it was raining all morning and the weather forecast predicted that there will be 80% chance of rain.Thus, we started our morning with k-singing at party world. I find it nice that there is a personal toilet attached to the room. Funny that Xin and sm decrypted that taiwan "han yu pin yin" into our chinese "han yu pin yin". This made our finding for songs easier. Next, we went to watch the guard changing ceremony and ding tai feng for lunch/dinner. Ended our last night by scouting food at 士林夜市 。

Day 6 (Last day)
Sm and I went back to Taipei Main Station to look for the souvenir keychains and we had our last of 50 lan2 milk tea and food before we went back to xi men ding to do the last minute shopping. Bought Ah Zong Mian Xian to airport to eat. Much comfort from the warm food :) Bought bread as well. Cold feet on the airplane. Had supper at mac before we left.


We will learn from our mistakes and improve together, love. <3

Going to 2012

2011 has been a calm year as compared to 2010, which had many 21st parties and gatherings. I can't really remember much of 2011 now, except for the work related memories. There are so much more to learn about. Friends-wise I guess I realise how some are important and should be held close to my heart while some are not. And I have learnt that I should be firm with my decision in order not to cause any disappointment to the others.

2012 will be a year of changes because I would be looking forward to changing my job somewhere near mid 2012. And graduation. Let's hope that I won't meet someone I am afraid of yet have to stick around with in the future.

Let's hope 2012 will be a great year for everyone, 风调雨顺，少一点天灾人祸；world peace ^_^v

Christmas 2011

We had a long htht on christmas eve.
I appreciate friends who had endured with sm and I to talk about our disagreements. "Communication" is listed as the number one thing we have to work on.
Will do. Encourage and not enforce. Love much.
I feel so blessed to have sm and my friends.

And I have finally completed the knitting of scarf, yay!
Looking forward to a good 2012!
So many things that I want to complete.

New year resolution: Tame my temper.

No Proposal = No Marriage

I was discussing with my sis on this topic and we agreed that a proposal is a must before marriage. Not that I'm getting married any time soon (no money no talk).

This year seems to be a good year to get married (and they can give birth to a dragon baby next year!). Seen a couple of updates of ex-schoolmates getting married and the first reaction is: so pretty! the bride is always so pretty. lol.

May true love lasts forever. :)

那些年

The reason for the overwhelming response for this movie is probably because many can relate to it. I can understand how the characters in the movie feel and everything is so realistic. And yes I realise many friends came by having similar situation in their life before.

Unlike some romance film, this appeals not only to females, but also to males. I find the content slightly too crude though. Well, but without these crude ideas, it may not appeal to that many people. Again, because people can relate to it. It's probably one of the best movies this year. I like how the story is presented to us, the audience.

Glad to be home

There's no place like home, this familiar place. :)

It's difficult to count Rupiah notes when they come in different amount and I attempted to use as many small notes as possible for our lunch. 第一次数钱数到怕 would be an apt description.

62nd :)

You are the constant reminder of how awesome i am. And I love the idea of how stuffing cheesecake into your mouth can shut our argument :) had several arguments recently, but can't rmb most of the details already.

I amused by how I can find some msges from other females to you amusing. Maybe because I don't view them as a threat, yet.

Happily 62nd :) wee.. Green crocodile tooth dentist.

Past tense

It takes so much energy trying to dislike u, one who accompanied me through a dark period of my life. It mattered and I think about it so much that I even dreamt of u in a dream.

And u just didn't care.

I guess u just don't love me as much as I felt towards u, my friend. Forget it then.
