I'm so broke now!

  • Jul. 21st, 2009 at 11:14 PM

  I'm so so broke now! I don't even have two pennies to rub with, but that's just because this is Singapore...

  P.S Just watched Guo Ji Jiao Yi Suo, and it's worth it just to watch the cute guys, but it's even funny!

Did this personality test,

  • Jul. 4th, 2009 at 11:21 PM

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

and I just wanted to keep this result somewhere.

Singapore Flyer

  • Jun. 27th, 2009 at 2:25 AM

  I remember when I was in Kuala Lumpur a few years back, my family wanted to go up to the highest part of the Petronas Twin Towers, and upon asking the taxi driver for his opinion of the view, he said that he had never been to the top. Which led to me to realise that most of the top, we do not visit our local attractions, because they are so easily accessible. However, after today, I can proudly say that I have got to experience what a tourist in Singapore would- a ride on the Singapore Flyer. It was really rather boring, because the sights were nothing that I have not seen before. Though, I guess it was a new experience and I got to spend time with Jing Min, Hui Xin and Nat. (:

  Anyway, Michael Jackson is dead. I did feel goosebumps when I browsed through his videos, because talented or not, perverse or not, we all die one day and I have to admit that sometimes I do forget that fact. In life, maybe we are too preoccupied with the daily events in our life that we forget that we are spiraling towards the same end. Though I am sure that he must have had a lot of regrets in the last moments of his life- he had not had the chance to make a comeback and to let the public forget the accusations made against him. I do feel sad for what he could have salvaged, if given the time.

 

 

 
 

My third job offer so far...

  • Jun. 25th, 2009 at 9:22 PM

  In this current economic downturn, how is it possible that without looking for a job, I have already had 3 job offers? Where do all those people get my number anyway? =/

 
Anyway, Bang Bang Tang has released their latest album "Wo Shi Chuan Qi"! (:

What happened to my personal legend?

  • Jun. 21st, 2009 at 12:38 AM

  When did I lose track of mine? Or rather, have I found mine yet?

  Will I be scaling Egyptian tombs or will I be a wandering shepherdess? 

  Neither, I would suspect...


 

Its so convenient that its scary

  • Apr. 25th, 2009 at 12:40 AM

  Recently, I signed up for an iBanking device, because I was so sick of having to leave the house and head downstairs and wait insanely long just to transfer money to buy stuff. The device came really soon too, like within 3 days? Anyway, the iBanking device is extremely cool! It generates a random number (no repetitions so far) for you to key in as a reinforcement of security (I wonder how it works? Then again, if I were to contemplate how this device works, I might as well throw in the Internet  and lots of another new fangled gizmos and start wondering how those work too, shouldn't I?). Anyway, my main point is that now it is so convenient that I have no qualms and face zero resistance towards buying things. So I guess this is a pretty good example of "be careful what you wish for".

  Anyway, as of late, I have been really addicted to "Top Chef". This show is like good food + creativity + bitchiness all thrown into one. SET has finished airing season 2 (which I realised was aired in 2006 in the United States) and I'm really looking forward to Season 3. While watching, "the spirit to root for the underdog" in me surfaced once again (I always support the underdog, e.g in Tai Wang Si Shen Ji, I rooted for QiHe instead of XiuZhiNi), I found myself supporting Marcel, because I felt like he was being ostracised.

  That's about it, I guess. The length of my blog entry totally epitomises the lack of interesting events in my life, which is pathetic. By the way, anyone free to go to Expo with me on the 9th or 10th of May? I want to check out the MPH warehouse sale. I'm going to end off with my seemingly ritualistic statement of declaring my everlasting love (at least till I read another book) for the Duke of Hastings! Please bring me back to the 1800s. =(

Nothing like a dose of reality...

  • Mar. 18th, 2009 at 12:16 AM

  I spend half my life longing to live a life not unlike one in a romance novel (albeit sometimes the storyline gets out of whack and a little unbelievable) and the other half seeking the perfect romance novel. So how's that for a one track mind? Anyway, recently I have been so obsessed with life in the regency era, that I only choose to see how perfect life back then must have been.

1.) Wake up to receive callers
2.) Eat
3.) Read some books/ Play the pianoforte/ Sew
4.) Go to the ball or Almack's/ musicales
5.) Sleep

  Life was really simple and fun (at least that was how I was led to believe)

  Then, I got a shot of reality by watching The Duchess. Urgh... GO AWAY DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE!

I love Jordan Townsende!

  • Feb. 19th, 2009 at 3:11 PM

  Truly, Singapore is a love starved nation. It is bad enough that we have university admission lectures on Valentine's Day, and to top it off, the library was painfully crowded on that very day. After attending 4 lectures regarding the courses offered at NTU, I thought it would be great to drop by the library (which should be quiet and cozy without the usual weekend throng, since they should be out dating) to relax and read a book, but no, the library was so full that I could not get a place to sit. This only leaves me with two conclusions, either the library is filled with singles who are just eager to spend the day reading a good book or the people who frequent libraries are not adept in getting dates. Either way, there are no evasions to the claim that far too many people are single, so if I was working in the SDU, I would spearhead a dating programme with the library crowd as my targetted customer base. Wouldn't that be great? Then I can spend my time sitting in the library reading on the pretext of studying the market and understanding their needs. That would be like the ideal job! 

  Anyway, after reading so many romance novels and starting to watch sitcoms like Ally McBeal and Grey's Anatomy, I'm starting to have "White Fever" (sorry XiaoYu and Jay Chou). So I'm hoping that Jul will go to UK to study soon, so that I can crash at his place and find a cure. =X

  Last but not least, I am going to bug all of you by attempting to change my name again. I'm going to name myself Alexandra and go off searching for Jordan Townsende. Bye!

Happy New Year

  • Jan. 2nd, 2009 at 1:55 PM

  It's the beginning of the new year- 2009! From the first day of the new year, which was yesterday, I already sensed that this would be a year of great changes. That is mainly because I am using adult fare now! It was really a rude shock, when I boarded the bus and heard only one "ti", instead of two, that I have already been accustomed to. What a weird way to be introduced into adulthood! Anyway, with that, I hereby announce my end teen crisis. ):

  Now I am kind of into Twilight, because of Edward Cullen (cues in drooling), but even so, I feel that Twilight is definitely not in the same league as Harry Potter. Though both have the fantasy element, but Twilight focuses mainly on romance (not that I am complaining) unlike Harry Potter which is more well-rounded. Overall, Twilight is still great. I recently just joined a fanclub of Twilight which is titled "After reading Twilight, I have unrealistic expectations about men". That is unequivocally true, but I have already had this problem way before Twilight, especially after reading regency romance novels.

  I actually wanted to post about my new year resolutions, but I saw on Yahoo! News that it is bad for your mental health if you set New Year resolutions. Thus, since I do hope for health, I would rather I am mentally sound as well. 

  Now that I have done my obligatory new year post, albeit one day later, I shall occupy my time with something that requires less brain cells and thought.

Prom + Standard Chartered Job!

  • Dec. 8th, 2008 at 10:29 PM

  First things first, prom! I should have posted this like eons ago, but I just kept procrastinating and now I don't think that my frame of thoughts are one of a girl who was dizzy with excitement about the prom. However, looking back, I wasn't exactly excited or particularly thrilled about the prom, I guess it was because I had no expectations about the prom and was just there to have fun and move on on a good note. Regardless, it was fun getting the opportunity to dress up, eat and take oddles of photos.

  My favourite dish was the cold platter, which was the first dish. I thought that everything tasted great in the first dish! The duck was great and so was the jellyfish and the prawns too! The sharks' fin wasn't too bad too! Other than that, I thought that the mango pudding was great too, but the portion was unfortunately too small!

  Halfway through the meal, Shel and YH came by my table and we set off to look for ZH, Jane and MJ. We took tons of photos and I had a lot of fun just standing there and watching the guys get up to their usual antics.

  At the end, most of the people went back home, while XL, JM, BP and I stayed along with some of the guys in the room that Bryan's parents booked for him. It was quite cool that I stayed at a 5 star hotel, but honestly I thought that the hotel did not really live up to its reputation. I shan't complain, afterall I did not have to pay for my stay there, but my heart really ached at the thought of forking $470 for that room.

  Okay, I'm done with prom! Actually the whole point as to why I wanted to blog today was to record my experience and thoughts after working at the Standard Chartered Marathon as a surveryor. My day started off at 7 and I went straight to the Padang to assemble with the other people who were also working. I ended up in group 7, which essentially comprised of the people who came to work alone (without their friends), because this job was actually offered to polytechnic students and they formed teams to work together. Anyway, I got to know 2 really nice people. I cannot remember the girl's name but I remember that she works at Zara (by the way, she told me that there is no staff discount, so people who are comtemplating to work at Zara to get cheaper clothes can banish that thought). I also got to know this guy name Chuck. I remember his name as towards the later part of the job, I partnered with him because I was too slow. 

  Anyway, the group of us were assigned to survey people who ran the 10km marathon, and we were told that those who ran the 10km marathon wore a blue bib. Initially, I was really anxious because I was afraid that people might turn me down because the survey takes slightly more than 10 minutes. However, as time passed, I realised that I was actually having fun. 

E.g 
Sita : So did anyone come down to support you today? (Part of the survey questions)
Poor person who has to endure 10 minutes of questioning: No.
Sita: *Does sad face*

  I actually had fun joking with the people and chatting with them like they were my friends. However, I think that slowed me down a little, and I was actually lagging behind by a few surveys, so the team leader, Derrick, paired me up with Chuck, so that we could survey a group of people together. The guy was actually quite nice and encouraging, and I found out that he wants to do relief teaching too! I should have asked him for his number =X It would be nice to know how he intends to cajole his teachers into letting him return to his alma mater to teach, so that I can use the same methods. There would be no competition anyway, since he wants to teach Maths and Science, while I want to teach English and Chinese.

 Towards the end, I just managed to hit my quota. When I went to collect my pay from the team leader, Derrick, he told me "See, you did it!". He was actually a really nice person, because when I was lagging behind, he never scolded me or said anything remotely close to sounding mean, instead he paired me up to work with Chuck. Thus, though I am horribly sunburnt now, I was glad that I went for the job, because I met really nice, helpful and friendly people. Through them, I realised that not all colleagues have to be rivals (unlike my previous retail job). 

  Though I probably will never see my ex-colleagues or even the people I surveyed again, but I am very thankful for the experience. The surveyees were patient, so who says Singaporeans aren't a nice and helpful bunch? (:

BY THE WAY, I AM CHANGING MY NAME TO ELENORA. =D

A walking corpse

  • Mar. 18th, 2008 at 9:33 PM

  After the March holidays, it seems that I have morphed into a walking corpse. I wake up each morning feeling so lethargic and listless that I just feel like skipping school. Jane has similar sentiments. What we wouldn't give for another few more hours of sleep each day? 

  It has been really stressful lately. Definitely, I was long aware that I would have to face the 'A' levels one day, but not so soon! Time is really flying by and what scares me the most is that the 'A' levels would either make you or break you. 

I NEED TO FOCUS.

Upset

  • Mar. 12th, 2008 at 5:17 PM

  I'm a little upset now. Just now as I was browsing through my past favourites online, I read through one of the Archie Comics fan fiction once again, and found it to be really good. I know you guys must be thinking "Archie Comics? Is that even literature?", but the story was really incredible. The writer actually managed to make the characters seem three dimensional, which is really quite a feat as the story was considerably short. Also, most of the time, the plot of the stories are totally hackneyed, thus to be able to write a story featuring a different perspective of the characters, actually requires much thought.

  Thus, to express my admiration, I decided to email him to tell him how much I loved the story, but it turns out that that email account is no longer in use. I was not surprised, since the story was written in 1999. I just thought that it would be nice as a writer to receive compliments on an excellent piece of work. 

  I hope someone has told him that it was a job well done.


  Oh well...

Birthday

  • Mar. 9th, 2008 at 1:13 PM

  Yesterday, Wina, Jane, Weiling, Sheldon, Wei Kiat and I went to KBOX to sing! It has been so long since I last went kbox-ing and let me tell you that singing karaoke NEVER loses its appeal. We sang from 2pm to about 7.30pm and it was fun, especially when Sheldon started doing those lame actions when he was singing. When we were singing "Dui Ni You Gan Jue", he actually tried to look very "Shen Qing" (passionate), but it looked so funny that I could not control my laughter. 

  Then we went to Long John's Silver at Central for dinner. It was filled with laughter, especially after Jia Jie arrived. Jia Jie actually wore the same outfit as Sheldon. Their expressions were hilarious and totally gut-busting. Though, I think most of the laughter was because I yanked up Sheldon's shirt. ): I was not going to check if they were wearing the same underwear! It was because I noticed that Jia Jie's bermudas had buttons on it, so I was just looking if Sheldon's bermudas were the same! [I'M NOT A PERVERT! LOL.]


 Laughter ensued as Jia Jie related to us about what happened behind closed doors on the Class Chalet when we were in Sec 4. Now Sheldon has to be very nice to Jane, Wina and I, lest we diseminate the video. Watch out, Sheldon Toh and maybe Moon Jun! =P

Time for pictures...



Look at how happy they are to realise that they are wearing the same thing. 



Look at how HAPPY I am to not be wearing the same outfit as them! =P



Sheldon being very vexed and embarrassed.



Janey and I!



Wina and I!



Wei Kiat and I!

  Anyway, I can't wait till the next outing! Perhaps, next time 

Kah Kay will not have camping
Yanshan will not go MIA
Chee Weng will remember to reply me
Ezekiel will not have guard duty


I haven't seen you guys in AGES!

Real busy

  • Mar. 8th, 2008 at 8:14 AM

  *Jumps real high up and throws a punch up in the air* (You do know this is just an expression of my joy, right? Afterall I have a jumping deficiency.) It's finally the holidays! I don't know how long I have been waiting for the chance to say this, but TGIF!

  TGIF = THANK GOD I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  I think its cooler than Thank God Its Friday. 

  Anyway, I got back my 'A' level chinese results yesterday. I got an A, but at the end of the day, it is still inconsequential as compared to the major H2 examinations. I really hope that I would not screw up and be the one moping up my tears, while everyone is like "WHEEEEEEE...Its off to the university for me!" So I guess I had better finish blogging sooner and get back to my studies.


BYE.

P.S. Actually, I'm going to study yet. I'm going online shopping.

A comfortable plateau

  • Feb. 22nd, 2008 at 10:23 PM

    I don't know if it is just me, or has life settled into a comfortable plateau. I know that with the neverending load of homework, comfort seems to be the worst word in all of the english dictionary to describe it, but now as I reflect on my life in J2, it strangely seems to be the best word. Despite the recent dispute that my clique had with the boys in my class, or even the resounding victory against Moscow for the hosting rights for the Youth Olympic Games, I feel that my life has just fallen into this routine revolving around home and school, that feels mundane, but surprisingly comfortable. 

  Definitely, I was super crazy and enthusiastic during the cheering of the countdown to the Youth Olympic Games results, but when it was all over, I just felt like the "Sita" who has to get up the next morning and head to school, just like how Cinderella must have felt when the clock struck 12, and she knew that she had to get home to do the dishes (or whatever she does, I don't care. In the end, she  got the prince and her happy ending.)

  Anyway, the cheering was fun! I had never had so much fun screaming and jumping around, even Min Min commented that she had never seen me so crazy before. When the results was announced and we knew that Singapore won, the crowd went wild and at that moment, I have never felt more proud to be a Singaporean. (: I was so happy that towards the end when we were all dancing, even though I realised that Mr Leow was dancing next to me, I made no attempt to move away. Yes, I was that happy! Come to think of it, I don't mind Mr Leow that much anymore. He is actually rather nice, if I do not fail his tests. ):

  Today, despite sleeping late last night, I was not as tired as I expected to be, but I was still late! My EZ-link card got confiscated and I forgot to collect it. What a dumdum I am! Anyway, PC was rather slack, but I eventually made up for it when I went up with Kai Xin, Xue Lian, Jing Min and Hui Xin to the hall to play badminton. It was a good way to break out of my rut. =D

  Anyway, once again its the time of the week to say TGIF!!!



Hui Xin and Me!



Jing Min and me!



Xue Lian and me!

And best of all...



This was taken shortly after Singapore was announced to be the winner! Just look at the background! Anyway,  I really wanted to be able to post the photo whereby all four of our faces could be seen, but I couldn't copy it from Xue Lian's blog! ):

  Anyway, its time to do something else than typing mindlessly about my uninteresting life! Bleah!

Dear John

  • Feb. 15th, 2008 at 7:47 PM

  I just finished reading "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks and what started off as a half hearted attempt to start reading novels again (I borrowed it along with another book for a handmade rose from the library) bloomed into this sturdy need to continue, because I rediscovered why I loved reading so much... because it brought me into another portal, where I was just standing at the side, looking on at how the characters struggle, win, lose, cry, rejoice, just like a reflection of life. 

  The story was moving and unlike crass Judy Blume novels, that have sexual connotations. Dear John revolved around this pure, simple love that the two characters shared. Though they did not end up together, but better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all. Though the main focus, like any other romance novel was on the couple itself, this novel also encompasseses love between parent and child and also between friends, which was particularly significant, because it showed me how incomplete life would be, without them all. [I typed a summary, but promptly erased it, because its lack of details simply did not do the book justice.] 

  It was so beautiful and it showed me that true love may wane and fade, but it never really disappears. I felt the female lead's regret and love that persisted though she was already married, it led me to come out with this conclusion that we should all wait, even if it takes till the end of time for that special someone to come take our breath away, than settle for someone else and look back, wondering what could have been.

  I loved the book. Maybe not just this book. This book reminded me why I love english so much. Its because sometimes there are words that are just perfect to describe something, yet there are times when we just can't seem to find the words to phrase out our thoughts. The intricate workings of the language intrigues and fascinates me and how it just seems to come together and trigger a million emotions from us mere beings.


Why do I love English so much? The answer is as clear as day. (: 


The sheer beauty of it all, breathtaking.

Some photos of our day from my phone!

Nice dresses that deserve mentioning, but my eyes look so small in this picture! 



Sitting on the floor of the changing room, how more pathetic can I get?



The answer to the mystery as to why am I so short.



I have fat legs! I cannot put them down because of the clutter in front of me! ):

Anyway, I think I'm becoming uglier. ): In the past, at least I could act cute, but now I'm just too old. LOL.

HAPPY!

  • Feb. 6th, 2008 at 9:19 PM

  After reading Yanshan's blog, I'm feeling uber happy! No, its not because she quoted me! Its because in her blog, she said that this year "Fan Tai Sui", cannot wear red, must wear green and I WORE GREEN TO SCHOOL TODAY!

  IT WILL BE A GOOD YEAR FROM NOW ON, BECAUSE I SENT THE YEAR OFF IN GREEN! =D

  No pictures of today yet, I hope someone posts them up soon, because I want them so badly. Pfffffft.

  Anyway, must go bathe and drink loads of water, because if you look good on the first day of the new year, you will look good for the rest of the year! So people who I openly dislike and secretly hate, I HOPE YOU FALL INTO A DITCH TOMORROW! 

  WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 








  DIE, LOSERS! =X

Shopping

  • Jan. 26th, 2008 at 11:45 PM

  When 2 girls go shopping, there will be heavy casulties... on the wallet. Went to Bugis Street today, it was so damn crowded, very congested, but nevertheless, I'm happy with my finds! I bought 1 top, 1 bottom and 1 dress [If Jane wore it, then it would be a long top ):]. 


SO HAPPY. Though I bought them out of my own pocket. 

Went undergarment shopping with my aunt at Young Hearts~ [JANE! I BOUGHT THE BLACK ONE!] 
Also bought a set of pyjamas and 2 boxers! The boxers have glitter on them! 

Sounds so bimbotic, but I am a girl afterall and all girls love shopping! =D
