I'm declaring war on cockroaches in my home! Those horrible and disgusting creatures.. yuck! My family never had a problem with cockroaches before, until this year.. the frequency of sightings of cockroaches in the kitchen just keep increasing!
Just last week, I saw 4 of them.. 2 on a monday morning while I was preparing breakfast(geez!).. 1 on another day at nite.. and the last one in the toilet beside the kitchen (My bro saw it first, it dropped from the ceiling when he stepped in).. ARGH! Too bad I only managed to smash 3 of them to death (twice with some help from my little sis and bro).
It's so disgusting to see the white stuff coming out of the cockroach when u smash it.. ewww.. hate to clear the smashed cockroach guuu..
Cockroaches are very resilient.. they can survive without food for 2 weeks and without water for 1 week.. and can be headless for 2 weeks before it dies of hunger.. So I'm not taking any chances.. I must make sure it's REALLY dead.. so.. *WACK WACK WACK*
Haven't seen cockroaches for the past 3 days now.. oh wait.. I just saw 2 baby ones in a shoe box 2 days ago.. geez! Hope the cockroach bait is working.. and the poison will eradicate the whole colony of cockroaches in my house. DOWN WITH COCKROACHES! |

I'm so bored... so bored at work.. =( *dissatisfied*
Don't feel very useful at all.. it's getting pretty frustrating.. but I do love the work environment.. and the people.. sigh.. but what's my purpose here? My job scope for these few months is so tiny and minute I think that they can just do without me. I feel as if I'm like a hua ping (vase in chn).. or maybe.. a white mouse (cos I'm much smaller than an elephant).. and I don't really like that.
Should I even consider quitting? If I quit.. where should I go? |

| Wisdom Teeth Extraction Experience |

mood:  okay

Alritie.. been meaning to update my journal for quite some time le.. update abt work, my colleague's (nicknamed Ah Mah) wedding.. etc.. but hee.. kept conveniently forgetting to do it. =p
Latest update.. I pulled out 2 of my wisdom teeth on the left side last thursday evening! Hee.. I've braved the extraction! *pats myself on the back* Hehe.. really thank all my fwenz who prayed for me.. for God to guide the doctor's hands to do a good job.. for minimal pain during and after extraction.. and for speedy recovery. Praise God that He answered the prayer requests.. *grinz*
Anyway.. here's the extraction experience..
Hehee.. was feeling quite brave in the morning and afternoon of the extraction day.. told myself that I'm okay abt the whole thing. It so happened that on that day, there was a scrumptious department buffet lunch at Merchant Court.. cool.. I get to eat my fill of good food before I face porridge days.. =p Still felt quite brave as I took the bus to the dental clinic.. lala.. BUT... the moment I stepped into the clinic.. the atmosphere changed.. felt fear creep upon me. As I sat on the chair waiting, I heard "drilling" sounds coming out from the dental room.. eekz.. my courage left me quickly.. bleah.. and I was left feeling nervous and frightened even though Jason was there to accompany me.
When my turn had finally come.. I kept telling myself it would be alright.. but to no avail. I think fear must have been written all over my face cos the dentist said this, "You look as if you're gonna cry." Aiyoh.. and the moment he said that.. I really cried... so paiseh! Was just too nervous.. had to release some tension. The dentist and his assistant are really nice people.. they kept assuring me that everything will be fine. Hee.. felt like a 12 yr old instead of 24.. *grinz*
Dentist:
"Big girl already.. don't cry."
"I'll get my assistant to hold your hand.."
Anyway, the injections were surprisingly not painful at all.. they felt like little ant bites. During the extraction, my eyes were covered with a mask, so I couldn't see anything at all. The dentist kept talking and reassuring me throughout the whole procedure.. and it was painless.. but I still shivered on the dentist chair anyway. Even after I came out of the room, I was still shivering.. and I cried a little more to release the rest of the tension.. =p So dan xiao hor.
The anesthetic lasted for quite long.. more than 4 hrs. Some people who extracted their wisdom teeth told me that after the anesthetic wears off, they would tear uncontrollably cos the pain was very acute. I braced myself for the pain that might come when the anesthetic wears off.. till I fell asleep. The anesthetic was gone when I woke up in the middle of the nite.. but thank God there was no pain at all! By the 2nd day, I could eat perfectly well with the right side of my mouth. I didn't have to face days of soft food and porridge.. so there goes my plan of weight loss.. =p
It's been exactly a week since my wisdom teeth extraction.. and I can brush the back teeth on the left side of my mouth already. =) Lalaa.. that's all for my wisdom teeth extraction experience. |

| A Season for Everything? |

mood:  lonely

Now.. ever so often.. I feel like coming back here and posting an entry.. guess this journaling thing is seasonal..
I'm so confused as to what I'm feeling now.. or rather.. for the past month. On one hand.. I feel one way.. on the other hand.. I refuse to believe it.. and feel another way. It's all so confusing that I dunno what to do. I feel okay.. yet.. sometimes I don't. I wonder why.. which is the real feeling. Do I really have a problem? What am I supposed to be feeling?
God said to be joyful in everything.. yet.. there's also a time to mourn.. a season for everything. So confusing.. so what am I supposed to be doing? Help?
Feel like pouring out everything here.. but yet.. I can't seem to be able to do it. Every time i feel like typing out something.. another thought will come into my mind and say.. no.. it's not like that.. should be like this. Anyone knows what I mean? Which voice is right? Which is the voice of the Spirit.. and which is of the flesh? I can't seem to discern properly.. |

Just have this sudden urge to update my journal today. Hehe.. it's a record! It's not even past one month.. and I'm updating again! =Pp
Anyway, just came back from YA bible class.. at Chap 11 of 1 Corinthians. Really love it when Uncle Andrew teaches.. the way he teaches is just so engaging and interesting.. and there's always so much in-sight into the verses. But there are still quite a few stuff I wanna noe.. too bad he can't go thru it due to time constriant.
Hmm.. there are so many things in the bible that I read.. but do not understand.. esp. stuff in the books of the prophets which I'm going thru now.. been stuck there for quite some time le.. hope to get more revelation.. gotta find time to read the commentaries too..
So many things to do.. but so little time.. or rather.. I'm not optimising my time. =p
Been watching some flute videos on You Tube lately. Found some really useful videos.. I wanna try out the stuff they teach... improve my tone n technique.. learn new styles.. etc.. and all these take time.. lotsa time and practice and patience. I really hope I don't give up halfway.. need more passion, determination and dilligence.
Work has been pretty busy these 2 months.. got stuff to rush.. deadlines to meet. Really really thank God for my colleagues. It was really stressful during the 2 weeks in Dec when my partner was in ICT.. couldn't have gone thru those 2 weeks without their help. There were suddenly just so many things to do during those 2 weeks.. and one of the tasks was WAY WAY beyond me. But I'm so thankful esp. to one of my friends for his help and patience with me.. it was such a great relief that he knew how to do what I had no clue abt. *phew*
Hehe.. and I'm so glad for such a good partner aka leader. He's really smart and has lots of good ideas.. can learn a lot from him.. n not to mention that he's quite good looking lah.. *opps* =X (Maybe can intro to Qiu.. hee.. =p) It's nice to have someone to discuss work with.. n share the workload.. I hope I'm a good partner to work with. Sometimes, I'm a bit slow at doing stuff.. and understanding things.. I pray that God will give me more wisdom at work.
Guess I should be able to take a breather in February. Hehee.. Festive Period! CNY and my birthday! =) Hehe.. gonna be 24 le.. so fast! Hehe.. and yes twiny.. I'll finally have the time to meet up with you.. and ahem ahem.. get my birthday present? *grinz*
Eppz.. past midnite le.. gotta do my bible reading and go zzzz.. shall end here.. hmm.. n yah.. I'm beginning to feel hungry.. hmm.. hmm... |

Finally settling down to write stuff in this journal o' mine. Hehe.. didn't noe pple still come in to read this stagnant journal. =p So.. since my twiny has given me the nudge, I shall take some time to update..
Didn't feel well today morning.. took a 1/2 day MC.. haha.. I didn't know there was such a thing as a half day MC till the doc talked abt it! So SuA Ku! =pP Fever should be gone.. and ms nose has just about stopped running her marathon.. I think I just need to sleep more.. and eat more fruits.
Almost a year since I've started work.. time really goes by sooooo fast.. and soon it'll be the beginning of a new year! But somehow I don't I think I've accomplished much this year.. dunno why.. but I'm just not satisfied.
Spiritually, I don't think I've grown much.. don't even know if I've grown. Even right now.. I don't feel like worshipping God.. or singing to Him like I used to love to do. But it's times like this.. when I need to presevere and push on.. the more I don't feel like worshipping Him.. the more I should.. Oh Father.. give me strength. Not sure if it's just me pitying myself.. but I keep having this feeling of crying inside.. but I dunno what's wrong.
In my life, things seem to be going smoothly, except for stresses and stuff at work sometimes.. but I don't have any MAJOR problems that I know some of my fwenz have.. but yet I just wanna cry. I wish I knew what was wrong.. this kinda feeling makes me seem so weak. Where is the Joy of the Lord that is my strength? At times, I feel so lonely.. esp. at work.. n sometimes, I feel useless. I so wish I was more bold.. more outgoing.. more witty..
Hmm.. didn't expect my journal to turn out this way.. aiyo.. so depressing! Maybe cos I'm drowsy from the medicine.. so my thoughts fly all over the place. He spoke to me just now as I spent some time with Him.. He told me to wait upon Him.. What I really need to do is to be secure in my identity in Christ.. and wait upon Him. Really wait.. be focused.. and stop running around..
Hee.. must update with a happier journal the next time round.. and I believe that the next time I update this journal, I'll be stronger.. Life shouldn't be about poor me, me, me.. it should be about Him!
I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth a hymn of praise to our God. - Psalm 40:1-3
Oh.. and here's leaving the best for last.. My whole family has accepted Christ recently! =) God has been good to my family. It started first with my dad in the middle of the yr.. then mum and Marisa came to the Lord this christmas.
Can see God's hand upon my dad.. dad has really changed lots.. so much more loving and patient than before. And he has opened up to the people at church.. and has become more involved. God worked through the "head" of the household.. and everything fell into place. Last time, it was difficult to ask my mummy to come for special services.. but when dad accepted the Lord into his heart, my mummy started coming to church every week not long after that! It's so amazing.. I can only say it's Jesus who has done all these wonderful things.. |

mood:  chipper

Woke up and went for a jog this morning.. feels good.. I really enjoyed the jog.. It's the satisfaction of being healthy and well.. enjoying God's company as I jog. Everday for me is full of activity.. mon-fri work n outtings with friends.. fri nites, sat, sun filled with church activities.. sometimes it's just pretty hard to have time just alone with God.
Even on the way to work.. you have TV mobile.. you have to keep track of where you are so as not to miss the stop.. you have work stuff intruding into your mind.. etc.. etc.. to REALLY have time alone with God is very precious. I'm actually glad that bible study this morning is cancelled so I can have time to relax before music practice later in the afternoon.
I pray for good time management skills.. =p
===================================================
Anyway.. life at work is good.. I enjoy my work, I've got good colleagues and superiors, and I've picked up quite a bit of new knowledge in these 2 months! =) I must admit that it's not all smooth sailing.. there are times when I keep hitting deadends, get frustrated with unclear directions/goals.. and I toy with the thought of quitting and doing some administrative job instead. *grinz*
But I know in my heart that God has already equipped me for this job.. He has never forsaken me and will not forsake me now and in the future.. His hand is always upon me and when I look back, I see how He has guided me till where I am today. At work, I know that He is with me. I'm really thankful.. I have such an awesome God.
===================================================
Went to the zoo on monday with my department.. hee.. cool ya? Played games for the 1st half of the morning, had lunch n ice-cream after that, and it was free and easy for the rest of the day!
The asst. director treated all of us to ICE-CREAM! So nice! Hehe.. didn't know the asst. director is such a very jolly and funny person.. it's my first time interacting with him.. n perhaps my first time seeing him? Didn't know who he was until my xiao di told me. =p
Okay.. time for the pictures..
Let's start with... FOOD!
Our Lunch..
Busy tucking in to lunch..
Xiao Di and JJ, my proj partner.
Hehe.. call him xiao di cos he's so cute.. n cheeks rosy rosy.. like a small boi =p
I'm surrounded by ice-cream! Hehee.. the bill at my table was the most expensive I think.. so paiseh!
Everyone's happy and excited about ice-cream. =P
Don't be fooled.. the cone is actually a plastic cup!
Part of the dept on the tram..
JX, KY, KH and Aishi.. some of my friends in the same lab. =)
And of course.. the animals..
Cute and active meerkats! They really can pose for pictures.. too bad I missed a lovely shot of 1 meerkat hugging another from behind and the two of them posing.
Poor white tiger.. got chased to the water.. =p
===================================================
Just celebrated KY's 28th birthday yesterday with my lab team.. had dinner at a jap restuarant at tanglin shopping center.. it was pretty fun.. =)
Here's the list of the food we ate: pork belly noodles, ox tongue, fried calamari, white chicken with cheese spring rolls (it's actually fish in the spring rolls), bitter gourd with raw salmon n tuna. Sounds like a lot? Haha.. it actually isn't.. the portions were quite small. =p
Pics not with me.. maybe shall post it next time.. =Pp |

| Job Hunting Experience.. |
|
|
| 11:53pm 01/02/2007 |

mood:  thankful
|
Hee.. here I am.. back again to post my rare updates.. =p I had a really amazing job hunting experience...
After graduating from university in December, it was time for me to venture into the working world. Although I know that God will guide me to the right job, I can't help but think of what job I should find.
Jason, who also graduated in dec, sent out his resume around the same time as I did, and he had received 2 replies, but I hadn't received any. I felt a bit upset, thinking, "Why they don't want me." Then God spoke to me.. "Seek me instead of seeking the job." So I tried to put everything aside and started to praise and worship Him.. and the moment I stopped singing, the phone rang. The call was from one of the co. I sent my resume to. I was thinking to myself.. "Wow, God.. that's fast."
So, I went down for my very first interview on a monday. The interviewer told me that I had to go for a second interview to meet with the proj. manager to see if I was suited for the job. The 2nd interview was scheduled to be on the following week.
I felt that the co. was where God wanted me to be in, but I wasn't sure. During the time between the 1st and 2nd interview, I tried not to be too excited, and to think to myself that I don't really want the job so that I won't be nervous during the interview. I kept telling my friends that I didn't want the job as well.. and the more I thought like that, the more miserable I felt. God finally "scolded" me 3 days before the 2nd interview. saying that He has given me a job, why am I rejecting it. Hee.. okie.. so I immediately said sorry and on the day before my 2nd interview, I just fasted and kept praising him and thanking Him for the job He has given..
On the morning of my 2nd interview, a lady called to say that the interview will be postponed to the next day. And about an hour or two after that call, the HR person called to offer me the job although I haven't gone for the 2nd interview! It's so funny.. I remember telling God that it would be good if I could get a job without going for an interview. The package was much better than I expected it to be. In eph, it says that "God is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or dream of, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes." It's all so amazing.
Okie.. I failed my 2nd interview.. the interview only lasted 10 mins! But surprisingly the co still asked me to go down to sign the contract! I was told that will try and put me in a different project team and to be interviewed by another project manager. Back then, I was pretty discouraged and kept wondering if I was lousy.. and what would happen if I kept failing the interviews. But I saw this as a test to see if I'll still praise and thank God about my job even if I feel lousy.
On the first day of work, my reporting officer surprised me by scheduling an unexpected interview. The surprising thing was that I didn't feel nervous, I just felt at peace.. and after the interview, I had this strong feeling that I would be accepted.. and I was.
So far I have just finished 2 weeks there. The people there are really nice and I enjoy what I'm doing.
Thank God for leading me through the whole process of job hunting.. I know that He'll give me the wisdom and grace to do the job well. Also wanna thank God for people like Florence, Adiella, Jason and Anrina, who gave me good advice and prayed for me. =)
We should always commit our way unto the Lord, trust also in Him and he shall bring whatever we commit to Him to pass.. and while we wait for that to happen, we should always praise and thank Him. =p |

Hehee.. someone has been complaining that I haven't been updating my bloggie.. haha.. so I had better update it to "apease" her.. *grinz* =Ppp
Okie.. School week has just started! But.. I don't have lessons on monday.. so gonna eat dim sum buffet with Jillian and Jason. YAY! Can't wait! Will be eating it in less than 12 hrs time.. hope it won't be disappointing! Better eat all the lunch buffets and student buffets before I can't do it anymore! =p Hmm.. feeling hungry now...
Anyway, some updates about my job at Autodesk. I'm really thankful for that job. Though the first week was pretty difficult, but the 2nd week onwards was just wonderful! I love that job.. though I got a little bored along the way.. =p But hhaa.. it refreshed my VB skills.. and I now know how to program macros! Learnt new skills through this job.. so I'm very happy. The environment is very good too.. flexible.. I really really like it there.. =)
Of course, there were times of "frustration".. when users suddenly change their requirements after I've completed the program.. and when there's last minute work.. but oh well.. I'm still happy working there.. it's all part and parcel of working life. Haha.. plus the pay is good too!
Got to know new friends there.. they're very nice gals.. both on teaching scholarship! But ah.. one of them, my "nu er", aiyoh.. so kiddish.. haa.. dunno how is she gonna be lao shi. Hehee.. this is their first semester in NUS.. in contrast with my last semester in NUS. Maybe will get to see them around school! =)
Thank You Lord, for my mummy, who found the job for me (although I was complaining at that at first).. and for the job itself.. and the friends and nice pple that came along with it. Oh.. and not forgetting the big lovely pantry plus nice personal cubicle! =Pp |

Just completed my first week of work.. wow.. StReSsFuL ah..! Supposed to do some automation of reports by programming excel and access macros... tot maybe just do some simple stuff.. but hmm.. not that easy actually. Moreover, I'm not familiar with the many functions of excel.. plus the work processes.. and some reports are not standardized.. so it makes work difficult. And before I can finish one proj.. another one has come in.. and they want it soon.. but I'm going to Manado next week! So I won't be at work for 3 days.. how to finish in time like that?! Therefore.. gotta do OT.. OT and more OT.. but oh well.. I get paid for OT.. so it's not so bad. But even with OTs.. I doubt I can finish the 2nd proj by the stipulated deadline.. sigh..
Cried during lunch time today.. cos I was so stressed up. The fact that I didn't save my work.. and my comp hung.. undoing like 4-5hrs of my work.. was horrible. I've got deadlines to meet.. and that incident doesn't help the situation. Think I must be really stressed.. cos I didn't feel like having lunch although I walked ard those yummy food that would have tempted me immediately. Just bought this peanut pancake for the sake of eating something.
But... God is GooD! He always hears our cries when we're in need. Everything went smoothly after lunch.. made quite a bit of progress on my work. I've always been so dependant on my team mates in school.. but this time I've no one to turn to except Him.. and He's showing me that His grace is sufficient for me.
I lay my life down at your feet..
Cos You're the only one I need..
I look to You and You are ALWAYS there..
In troubled times it's You I seek..
I put You first, You're all I need..
I humble all I am.. All to You..
- One Way, Jesus (Hillsongs)
Hope to mean this with all my heart one day.. soon..
Haha.. anyway... the thing abt this job is that although it's stressful.. but I sorta love it.. I enjoy programming the macros. (but not when I dunno what to do =p) I love my own cubicle.. which is sooo very spacious! It's just so lovely! And it's directly in front of the pantry! =Ppp Hmm.. but I guess I may have to move somewhere else soon though.. cos more perm staff are coming in.. so they need the space.. =( Oh well, if I do move.. hope it'll be to an even better location.. =pP |

I really must stop thinking about it.. need to concentrate on my work at hand now.. it's quite difficult..
Oh Lord.. help me to make things right.. |

Hmm.. feeling much better today.. =) Guess I was very affected by mum's incessant nagging of, "Have you started your project yet?".. just made me very irritated.. especially when she found a job for me and I told her I dun want it cos I won't have time to handle 2 jobs if the project comes. Anyway, I'm finding a job now so as to stop her nagging.. but that utimately leads to this.. "I found you a job, but you don't want it."
Haiz.. just let me do my own thing can? I dunno if I'm misunderstanding her or something.. but it's like.. everything I do in my life is unquestioned and practically not known by her.. except this job thing! She doesn't even know when I'm graduating! But then again.. I guess helping me to find a job seems like the only thing she is able to help me in for now.. maybe she's just concerned that I'll have difficulty finding a job.. and I've misunderstood her.
She's like super kan cheong whenever I have holidays.. for example..
This semester, when she got to know that I've just finished my exams..
Mum: Holidays already ah?
Me: Ya..
Mum: 2 pple in my company are leaving.. you want to work there?
Me: Temp job ah?
Mum: Why you want temp job for?
Me: I haven't graduated leh..
Mum: Can just join the company first.
Me: But I haven't graduated..
Mum: Doesn't matter lah..
(miscommunication here.. she tinks that haven't graduated = haven't gotten my cert)
Realising this miscommunication..
Me: I'm only graduating in december leh..
Mum: Oh.. december? Why at such a weird timing? *puzzled look*
Me: (she doesn't know?) *pengz*
Another example.. (over the fone)
Mum: So you don't want the job ah?
Me: Ya..
Mum: Anyway, I think that there's one employee leaving at the end of the year.
Me: (wanna peng again)
(And so the conversation continues..)
**It's not the actual conversation.. my mum doesn't speak singlish.. but the content is about the same. =P
But the fact is.. see how kan cheong my mummy can be? It's just so funny lah. Hmm.. I should be thankful yah.. since I most probably won't need to go job-hunting.. bleah..
Anyway.. I still love my mummy..
Oh well, anyway, got back my results.. kinda surprising.. the modules I expected to do better in were not my best, instead, HCI was my best.. *tickled* And I'm quite surprised to get B+ for maths.. cos the concepts were kinda confusing to me.. and I could barely do 2 out of 6 questions in the past year papers. Glad that this sem's maths paper wasn't really a killer.
Haha.. but actually, when I tink back to the day before the exams, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised afterall. Let me relate it..
Was kinda sad the day before the maths paper cos I was totally demoralized by the past year papers.. and I knew I had studied to the best of my ability. But.. God spoke to me when I was in the washroom. On the soap dispenser was this card that said.. "All things are possible." After I read that, I felt so much better.. cos there was hope.. and the more I believed.. there was faith.
Would be happy to get a B- or B for it.. haha.. but got a B+.. so this verse comes to mind..
"God is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes." -Eph 3:20
This has been my best semester so far.. thank you Lord.. =) |

Interface designers always emphasize on feedback.. cos it's really super important.. even in the real world. I never knew the importance of feedback till this semester.
Firstly, OSA.. when applying for hostel.. send in application.. no reply.. email to ask about application.. also no reply.. say will release results by a certain date.. NEVER! Make me waitwaitwait.. wondering if they've actually received my application. HORRIBLE! VERY STRESSFUL AND FRUSTRATING WHEN THERE'S NO FEEDBACK!
Now, I've been been waiting for a project that doesn't seem to be coming.. even if it comes like next month.. at least tell me.. give me some feedback or something! Was supposed to get the details last week.. but nothing came! It's so FRUSTRATING! I dun even noe if confirm have that project or not now. Worst thing is that my mum keeps asking me if proj come already or not.. I'M SO FED UP! She just asked me again just now! IRRITATED!
I'm 3 weeks into my holidays.. and it seems like I've done nothing productive! I'm just so FED UP! FED UP! FED UP! |

hehe.. nothing much to update.. except that....
I've just finished one week of holz! =) hahahaha.. =pPp Feels sooo gd! =p Hmm.. hope I haven't gained any weight though.. cos I've been eating lots and lots of good food.. haa.. =pP Let's see what I had...
Ramen and xiao long bao..
Beef steak at Jack's place..
Ma po tou fu and sting ray...
Yuki Yakee tepanyaki, steamboat and ice-cream buffet..
Plus lots n lots of chocos n nuts! (Mum bought lotsa them from US) Hee.. I just love chocos and nuts.. be it seperate or together.. but my fav is to have them together.. haa.. =p Oh yah.. got yummy pretzels too!
Hmm.. but I still have a lot of other places I wanna eat at too. And other pple I wanna meet up with. Hee.. I better start exercising.. hope I'll not be too lazy...
Anyway.. I'm so glad that I may be getting a project to do. Really thank God for Qiuting.. =) I really want to do some job related to my field of studies.. it's not only good for resume.. but it's good experience.. and if I can do it well.. it'll boost my confidence too. And the great thing is that I'll be doing it together with Jason.. so I won't be alone. =)
Hmm.. sometimes I wonder why God put me into computing.. I really like programming and stuff.. but hmm.. I'm just an average.. and I actually don't know much.. haa.. =pP There are so many many pple much much better than me.. who are just so amazing. When I tink abt what job I'm gonna find when I graduate.. I'm at quite a lost.. cos I dunno what I can actually do... where I stand.. what are my abilities. Haa.. feel kinda inferior in the computing world.. it's just so vast!
But I trust that God will show me what to do since he put me in this field. I'm thankful that He answered my prayer and gave me the opportunity to do something related. I really want to do it well.. I honestly need that boost in confidence. And not only that.. I will learn to trust God more.. to guide me in what to do. Although I'm only an average.. but with God.. everything is possible.
Yawnz.. I'm sleepy... time to end.. till next time.. |

Okay.. I haven't been here for quite a while.. and as you all can see from the title.. this is going to be a journal full of complains! bleah.. =p I'm supposed to be studying now.. but I just can't study with all these thoughts in my head.. so I'm going to let it all out here..
I love my hostel room.. I really love it.. has lotsa windows.. pretty spacious.. I can finally have my own room.. and decorate it the way I want it to be. BUT... yes BUT! There are just some very inconsiderate and dirty pple living in my cluster!
Firstly.. you guys all know the clean up after your own mess rule rite? Well.. I'm suprised that some university pple don't know it! It's such a basic rule! I can't even call it a rule.. it's hygiene.. it's COMMON SENSE! How can they not know such a thing.. what's our education for man. Geez.. I tink they need to make some tweaks to the education systems around the world.. to teach pple how to clean up after themselves! It's no wonder the admin has to email the cluster leaders to check if everyone washes their hands after they use the toilet! Imagine that?! Like little kids! But there is surprisingly someone in my cluster who doesn't wash her hands after using the toilet..
Anyway, there's this person who spilt some horrid yellow stuff in the fridge and has left it there for days and days! And until now, it's still there! DISGUSTING! No one can use that part of the fridge tray! And there are people who use the mini oven tray and make such a horrible mess on it.. and don't clean it up! Have to clean it up for them when I wanna use the tray! And the stove! Make mess on the stove and just leave it there! YUCK! And the sink.. haiz.. just pour everything into the sink.. and don't clean.. sometimes, I take out the food bits left by other pple in the sink so that it won't clog again. Okay.. this sink problem is partly the management's fault for not providing strainers. Can't catch the food particals.
And.. and.. haiz.. I'm so sad to say this.. some gals dunno how to dispose of their sanitary pads properly. All you have to do is to roll it up.. wrap with tissue.. and throw it in the sanitary bin. But some pple.. don't roll it up.. and just throw it in the bin! HORRIBLE! The sticky side of the pad gets stuck onto the bin tray and doesn't go into the bin! Can you imagine what a horrible sight you'll see when u lift up the cover of the bin? I usually don't talk about these kinda stuff.. but I'm super agitated right now.
And the toilets! Aiyoh! Make a mess in the toilet.. don't clean also! GROSS! I know it's dirty to clear your own shit.. but if you don't do it.. who will? No one can use the toilet cos it's so dirty! There's 3 cubicles, shared between like 15 or more pple.. haiz.. it's disasterous if all the cubicles are equally dirty.
I really dislike living in my hostel on weekends.. cos it's surprisingly dirty on weekends. The aunty doesn't clean the toilet for one day.. and this is what happens. It's not even one day yet! The aunty just came in the morning! Sunday is the only day that the aunty doesn't come. I don't blame the aunty for thinking that we're all a dirty bunch of supposedly highly educated people.
Sigh.. it's only these few inconsiderate pple who make life here so disgusting. I mean.. do they do this in their own home?! Yuck.. how can pple be so dirty??? |

| Chicken and Egg |

It all started when Joelle asked Jason and I this question at BK...
"How do you know if an egg has been fertilized?"
Hee.. and through that one question, I got to learn quite a few stuff about chickens and eggs.. =pP I learnt that chickens can only hatch one egg a day.. and I also learnt how eggs get fertilized.
Hehee.. I have always thought that the hen hatches the egg first, then the rooster comes along and fertilizes the egg. Hmm.. sounds simple.. but I guess I wasn't thinking it through carefully.. how is the rooster going to fertilize the egg? Haha.. for those who are blurer than me.. and don't get the question.. here's something to think through..
Eggs have shells rite?
Yeah.. I know..
So how is the rooster going to fertilize whatever is inside the egg?
So.. the point is, the hen and rooster mates first..and when the eggie is out, it's fertilized! But anyway, how would the hen know which egg has already been fertilized? Also, if there's no farmer to take away the hen's eggs, the hen sits on a whole lot of eggs at one time? (since they hatch an egg a day) Hmm.. maybe hens have special hormones to tell them to stop producing eggs.
I was also thinking, hens are so very ke lian! They have to go through birth pangs everyday.. hmm... but Joelle said that it may be just like passing motion to them. Anyway, I don't think that's the case, coz an egg and a bird's waste differ a lot in size!
Went home to ask my 9 yr old bro about this chicken and egg stuff.. and guess what! He knows whatever I've learnt! They actually learn that in school! Wow! Impressive! So much for being a Uni student.. bleah.. =Pp He even knows how to differentiate a fertilized egg from an unfertilized one. Haha.. I won't tell you how.. ask me if you're interested to know.. *grinz*
Okie.. to conclude.. here's an age old question which I've got the answer to now.. =pP
"Which came first? The chicken or the egg?"
Of course the chicken lah! Not possible to have the egg before the chicken. Coz..
1) How on earth can the egg be fertilized?
2) There's no chicken to incubate the egg.
Hahhaa.. okay.. last question..
"So how did the chicken come about?"
Simple! The Almighty God created it!
Hee.. so that's all for the chicken and egg journal entry.. till next time! =pP |

FUN AH! hee.. it's a really good stress reliever and my fav game of the day! I shall play that whenever I'm stressed. I don't think I'm as bao li as what the three of them say.. I'm such a gentle gal.. =p Hehe.. played bball, bishy bashy, daytona.. and PHOTOHUNT! hahaa.. played so much of photohunt until our eyes wanna pop out! Tried to beat the highest record.. but unfortunately, we couldn't. I wonder how many times we played photohunt man.. hehhe.. =pP
