Hi.

I know i've not been meeting up with many people recently but that is because i haven't had much time to do so. A major thing happened in my life and I'm trying to cope with it. Just last Friday i was doing my work in office and I just found my wind wandering and suddenly I just teared up.

I remember myself thinking of all the worse situations in life when i was young, when i understood the meaning of live and death. I remember myself thinking so much that I would just cry so hard that I can neither breathe nor hear properly. I was preparing myself for when i reach an older age and I will experience all the kinds of things. I was afraid.

I remember myself going to the library after my weekly music lessons and borrowing lots of books from the same author who wrote stories on cancers; leukemia. Every story, i'd cry, feeling for the person in the story and knowing that the author who wrote the book experienced this in her life.

I'm glad the situation is not as bad as the ones i've read but its enough to make me worry day and night, waking up and thinking of the current situation over and over again.

Internship!

Work at Agape Little Uni. gets better by the days.

I would say my 1st and 2nd day wasn't what i'd expect but probably because of the new Clementi centre opening and I was mostly under the guidance of an administrator whom i am grateful for. She taught me so much in just 5 days!

Now that she's left, and i am kinda the only person who knows how to do the admin work, i feel a little lost especially when there are new registrations and withdrawals. A little stress today because i didn't know where to start etc.. but time REALLY FLEW BY today.

I gotta rush to finish as much as i can tmr. I'm way more motivated now because of my director's meeting with me and i feel like i have a goal right now so things won't be so mundane anymore!

Gotta starting journaling about what i have learnt so far!

Tata! Hope you guys who are reading my blog are doing good with your internships/work or enjoying your holidays!!!!

Work has its cons too

i must remind myself why i was going all out for 6 months internship instead of choosing 2 months.

Admin work is..... what i wanted to avoid in the first place and thats why i self sourced.

but the good thing now is that i have no worry after work, and i have healthy lunch now.

Happy with the outcome of all my papers :)

Did my best, studied as hard as i could (though i really slacked quite a bit this time round) because it is my last semester taking exams.

Usually i start studying a month before exams but this very semester i had totally no time due to crazy projects and only had 2 weeks to do so. turns out that i learnt to study smart, learnt how to analyse past year exam papers really thoroughly and hopefully the results would be what i want.

Actually, i really hope to have 4.0 GPA once before i leave ngee ann. is that possible with my bullshit luck with IS modules?

Then, i'd be able to get into SMU business....

5 hours of sleep. 8am school, studied for a test which was then postponed.

Received 2 grades for stocks class and it was one of worse i've received for months and months.

Work later for a friend + lack of sleep = :(

4-5 projects left to finish in a time frame of 1 month. :(((

Building a Healthy Relationship from the Start

The Beginning Stages

While the early months of a relationship can feel effortless and exciting, successful long-term relationships involve ongoing effort and compromise by both partners. Building healthy patterns early in your relationship can establish a solid foundation for the long run. When you are just starting a relationship, it is important to:

Build. Build a foundation of appreciation and respect. Focus on all the considerate things your partner says and does. Happy couples make a point of noticing even small opportunities to say "thank you" to their partner, rather than focusing on mistakes their partner has made.

Explore. Explore each other's interests so that you have a long list of things to enjoy together. Try new things together to expand mutual interests.

Establish. Establish a pattern of apologizing if you make a mistake or hurt your partner's feelings. Saying "I'm sorry" may be hard in the moment, but it goes a long way towards healing a rift in a relationship. Your partner will trust you more if he or she knows that you will take responsibility for your words and actions.

As the Months Go By: Important Things to Recognize as Your Relationship Grows

Relationships Change. Changes in life outside your relationship will impact what you want and need from the relationship. Since change is inevitable, welcoming it as an opportunity to enhance the relationship is more fruitful than trying to keep it from happening.
Check in Periodically. Occasionally set aside time to check in with each other on changing expectations and goals. If a couple ignores difficult topics for too long, their relationship is likely to drift into rocky waters without their noticing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, relationships aren't easy to handle.. be it with your family, friends or your other half. It certainly takes a lot of strength to breathe out uncertainty, anger, confusion and just thoughts wandering around and overcoming it. Sometimes you feel bad for feeling what you feel but you know that you have the right to have those feelings and the only thing you can do to help it is to take control of emotions.

I for one, ain't a master of controlling my emotions. Sometimes it gets the better of me that i feel I'm such a horrid person. I'm glad to say, I am way better at controlling these things now. It helps to have a boyfriend who is way more patient than i am, more understanding of certain things than i am to him :x and it made me help myself get over anger and frustration without hurting anybody.

Maybe its just stepping into my 20s soon, maybe its just maturity but having patience definitely helps one life be more peaceful and happier than what it initially was.

Such a fast-paced life i lead, some bad patience i have... it all takes strength to overcome it to be a better person.

Time for projects this week - Stocks and WISP
And to finish studying all the lectures by the time school begins.

Short of time~

Had a good time in Sentosa today w dom, yt & zx. Played bridge, cheat and monopoly deal while on the mat as the sun chose to hide itself for the 1st two hours..

When the sun finally came out, yt & zx went to get their lunch and dom left to put his suntan oil, leaving me alone in the sun with all the stuffs. It was a good twenty mins before he came back and i am wow.. blacker already. compared to dom sun-tanning for an hour while we played dai di in the shade and his suntan effectiveness was the same as my 20 mins tan -.-

I'm red and feeling hot on my face, neck and black -.- So fun to play card games again after such a long while!

After that we headed off to Changi Airport to fetch dom's parents at the airport! Had a good western meal at Han's there and then home we went in this big luxurious cab. Driver young and punk, good command of his English and presentable.

I wonder if taxi drivers must now have a degree to drive this cab... well the usual taxi drivers need to pass at least their o levels and english as far as i know!

Does a couple need complete similarities to be able to be happy with one another? If no, do they have to have a majority of similarities?

What if they don't? It doesn't matter does it? What matters is that you're happy with that person and you feel complete with each other.

In tough times, do you feel like slamming things? In good times, do you feel like nobody could be happier than you? Why the vast difference?

Love is hard to comprehent, Love is.....not letting go of you!

Its time to update w the hols here!

Back after a month of hiatus. Obviously, its the school activities taking up too much of my time and putting priorities straight first.

So during the month of May, lets see.. what interesting things happened.
Wished a friend happy birthday and he replied me "Thanks, and treasure my brother because the people who are like him are extinct already".

I was touched by what he said, what he thought of dom and just feels good for people to say nice things about your other half!! haha

I also went to IKEA and had my first meal there... as long as i can rmb that is. Saw so many people with a pile of chicken wings on their tables so i decided to be like one of them and ordered 6 for myself LOL. Anobolic diet failed after that. I could only last for a day and a half before all my cravings for carbs came crashing again.
Bought dom a fruit tart from his favourite store to sing a song for him w chris and jh but when we finally had the time, the tart was squashed and I had no lighter :((((

May 29 marks the 20th birthday of dom and on the 28th, his parents and us headed to Johor to have some fun!! Fun and excitement we had indeed. Took the wrong causeway link bus and we had no way out and we just had to follow the bus whereever it goes. Ended up in Bukit Indah and phew there was Jusco, a shopping mall. We had a good time eating the steamboat there and it was cheap!

And for the first time, i followed dom around while he shopped and i didn't buy anything from that whole trip, as promised :D Time to do the things he want and not what i want hehehe. And then we 4 got conned by taxi drivers there :(
Took the executive cab back to city square, which is actually equivalent to a black cab in Singapore and the cost ended up a flat 40RM... ridiculous for a price in Malaysia to pay.

Collected my first pairs of contact lens too!! :D:D But i haven wore them till now because i have yet to try them on.. sickening feeling leh!! I need to learn how to put contacts so i can put on make-up at least to look more mature for work!!!

I'm gonna be helping a friend out at her store selling ATAS jewellery. It freaked me out that there was sooooo many kinds of precious gems and stones name which i never knew about and I am to help sell them.... to Chinese speaking Tai Tais!!!!! I will try to concentrate on writing a business proposal for my friend and aid in her grand opening instead hah can't imagine me selling jewellery in Chinese when i don't even know what Jewellery is in Chinese. Pathetic Chinese :(

Anyway sent in my resume and cover letter to lots of companies and finally had some positive replies.. hope for the best and be prepared for interviews!!

Happy Mother's Day!! :D

bought my mom a long long tube of dark chocolates. haha she's always been crazy over chocolates so probably its the best thing to get for her..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm coping with school. I wish it didn't have to be the word "coping" but rather "enjoying".
New class, new classmates, new project team mates, new people, different personalities to deal with and to get used to.

4th week of school tmr, almost a month. Pls.. let me feel at ease from now on.
I'm out of my comfort zone every single day, looking forward to the times where i can see my old friends.

I would say that my first 2 days of school was compensated for the other.

1st day wasn't that good.. i need to get used to different people with different attitudes. I have a primary school classmate who is now in my class, and my secondary school mate also in my class. Went home pretty upset about the day's turnout.

Today was way better though. Met up forl unch with mayni, dawn, yanting and zhanxian before school started at 2pm. We had 50 mins to kill so we ended up playing The Game of Life.. which is what zhan xian and I have been playing for the past 2 weeks and so far taught 4 people how to play haha. Went lecture after that.. and i think my lecturer rocks. An inspiring, motivational speaker i must say. I think he must have success in life already because i sense he is different from other lecturers.

Some quotes from his lecture:

We entreprenuers, our objective is to employ all your classmates and friends from the other majos (accountancy, service, human resource) to work for us.

Impossible: I am possible.

Caryn's house

Met Mayni today at Clementi and ate KFC at the new Clementi Mall before heading over to Kovan to go to Caryn's house.

It was a long journey but a good talk with mayni.. we haven talked this long for soooooooo damn long since we got into different classes how many sems ago???

kept looking out for a mansion when we were searching for caryn's house and somehow we just couldn't find it! then we saw a house with its gate wide open and we thought of just going in and ding-dong first.. but decided not to in case it was the wrong house lol.. but aiya correct la, we amazing ppl.

when we entered, we found caryn and yanting dancing to some hip-hop song on the xbox thing. kinect was it? damn cool censon which detects all the dance movements. lol and we danced for a good 2 hours before switching to some athelete game.. need to run and the censor don't like me and mayni.. every time we jog damn fast, the person in the xbox move so slow -.- but it was like exercising man!!

and so funny and entertaining watching all of us dance to those hip-hip moves hahaha.. poker face still rocks cos its the easiest wahahaha. played the piano awhile after i heard caryn played the Final Fantasy song, To Zanarkand. Super nice la the song... been wanting to play that a long time already but the score of mine seems damn hard to play.

then we moved on to Bridge.. won the first few times before losing the next few times haha. and then Poker again ^^ Super happy, i got a full house kings haha! again addicted and was hard to leave ryn's house... so we ended up all being late to go off somewhere so we took a cab to VIVO City!

Went off to withdraw money before meeting up with yanting and zhanxian again for dinner at Pasta Mania. The salad was $2.90 only cos closing time.. we thought have chicken.. but end up only green lettuce and half egg la -.- get cheated lol!

All in all, i had a great time today ^^ So funnnnnnnn... i can't wait for more outings. hahaa

Did i mention that i ate frog porridge for the 1st time in my life? ;o

tasted yummy hehe.

Went to Kent Ridge's symphonic band SYF on 7 April. Amazed with their music and i can really feel all the hard work placed in it..

New conductors, new teachers, many new and young students in the band whom i don't recognise.. but at least there's still 2 batches who rmb me haha. And the band girl got wild in me once again, as dom would call it. lol! Medal was a bronze.. disheartening. some of them broke down and i could see their bond, some guys comforting the girls etc.

it reminded me of 4 years back when my SYF results came and i was just jumping around in anger/sadness that what we got was a bronze as well. they will get over it soon.. cos naturally, thats what all humans do.

Dinner was at the Ashtons. 1st time there, food and ambience was great.

Price is really reasonable as well. Time out with chris, jh, clara and zn was hilarious... probably with all the comments made my zhennan lol. couldn't stop laughing that night.. it really reminded me of the joy i had laughing everyday in secondary school.

how i miss those times! the times where you have more time with your friends everyday as somehow you'll find time to talk during lessons and all, unlike poly where the class is always so quiet during lessons as there won't be remedials to make up for it.

Nostalgic.

This random RICE stall @ Jurong Point selling different kinds of healthy rice had a queue like this on the 1st day and second week is even longer!! wonder how they do that.

MarbleSlab when i was bored!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week is finally my rest week and to focus on all the left-to-dos.

Met gina and yann lup at NUS, had lunch and ended up at the School of Computing. Each student had their own table to do their work.. amazing, but the school fees comfirm nice also. So we 3 shared the whole table and did our online stuffs and discussed some things.

A week has gone by since my last update and it has been an interesting week of bazaar-ing and a great weekend!

Met awesome people who became quick friends at the bazaar.

How awesome was that what started from doing a survey for them became a 4 hour long chat with 3 of them and then friend's friend and friend's friend's friend arrived and they ended up partying together.

Not me though.. i ain't those sort and i have never party-ed hehe. They are all westernized people so they are really open.. some attitudes i like and some, would be a matter of time getting used to.

the awesome people.

my table and clothes rack for 28th march!

On another day of the bazaar, shared the booth with Dom's aunty and her helper was really nice! gave her a gift cos i felt like it hehe.

then peak hour charge and a looooong U-turn fare killed me.

I think bazaar is another good way of making friends. Some whom will help you along and some whom are out to get your money. I have experienced both sides and sometimes i feel that i'm just too nice to them.

but then i have my fair share of good bazaar friends and i really appreciate them.. 1 who already helped me along for the coming 3rd year. Also returned the favour by helping them sell their products haha!

Saturday was day out at Johor again ^^

With dom's friend and gf. I have a shopping partner while the guys can have their guys talk haha! Becoming my favourite hangout place now. Did i mention its the 3rd time i went already in a month or two? :O think i'm going again this weekend haha.

ToriQ meal there :D

And this 16RM ice cream. damn expensive for normal ice cream but i guess you're paying for the self customizable service. And a free polaroid shot of me and dom ! ^^

We had choco mixed vanilla and green tea mixed strawberry with some milo cereals, honey stars and some choco rice added on top!

Its time to get my contact lens and then i can finally put on make-up and not feel weird because of my specs. wooohooo.. still scared of taking out the lens though. looks so scary and dangerous. like one wrong move and i will scratch my eye ouch!!!!

Sunday was dom's daddy birthday!

Ate at Kuishin-Bo, the japanese buffet i was talking about in my previous post again. The food is getting boring and oops i binged again :(

Swenson's Mango ice cream cake with Dom's adorable parents! hahaha

and their neighbour playing with the dry ice lol!

my self created fondue which i managed to finish this time round ^^

On a side note, i'm really finally happy with my results :) Think i really worked hard this semester and the shagging out for the projects was worth it. I rmb nearing the exams that i was having thoughts of giving up working so hard.. that i won't be able to enter a local university as well.. but oh well since i shagged out 3 semesters already, might as well continue shagging for the rest right?

1 last semester of studying!!!!

Actually i am depressed about something and i really hope that i will be fine soon. 9 more days to wait. i hope i don't have to get an injection at all. painless pls :( damn worried and stressed and feel emo when i talk about it. but the more stressed i get, the more it will get worse soooooo enough talk!

Okay time to go sleep, told Gina i would be early tmr to set up the booth.

Good night people ^^

Hope you guys are coping better with your internships, enjoying your beijing holidays, and hanging out!!!!

Cannot be disheartened so quickly!
Today's sales isn't good and i'm currently super bored with nothing much to do here.
i don't get it... my rings were the most popular usually and suddenly all my sales today were everything else but rings lol!

Really feel the need to travel overseas and restock my shop. I just want things which will sell by itself like my friend's store. No matter where she goes, people just love them!! hmmmm

Last friday i had a flea market at the Singapore Art Mueseum. The crowd was really different there and ffrom what my friend told me, this was one of the few times that the event failed ;o lucky me when its my first time there.

salessss come come come quick! i dont wanna be earning $1 an hour -.-

Happy birthday Sherlyn!!! ^^

Hope you enjoyed our dinner plus all your birthday celebrations :D

Had bazaar today also.. sales was not bad but it can definitely do better.

Did the bazaar with my long long bazaar friend's son. Gained some insight into how more of the business world works.

It was fortunate that he is super gentlemanly too and very accomodating.. if not i would have wasted 3 hours of my time unpacking my stuffs and setting up today again!

Squeezed all my bulky stuffs into his van and then he did all the wrapping up of the things while his friend and i chatted lol!

Come to think of it, since its my own stuffs too that he is wrapping together i should be helping. but he told us to sit down and talk while waiting for him to finish up haha!

and lucky for me it was otw that he's driving to the dance studio so i got a free ride back home at the back of the van ^^

After resting awhile, i went to meet a customer and my darling ^^

His first day at work and he was tired as hell.. so was i. Had a quick dinner and talk before going home.

15 March 2011

Munching on some potato wedges right now...
This morning, i came to the NUS bazaar with sore throat and fever and it was hard for me to talk then my bazaar friend was so good as to give me a papaya immediately and now he gave me the just fried potato wedges! don't really care about fried stuff bad for my throat and i really want to drink the KOI bubble tea which the store nearby is selling!! T.T

I wish there was Each-A-Cup here though..

Its very boring now.. lesser people walking pass so i have lesser people to talk to but yay someone just bought 2 rings :D

I'm amazed how a shopping trip can expand my stuffs from just one ring rack to whole table filled to the brim now! haha happy that many people told me my stuffs are pretty ^^

But too bad i don't sell any of them online! Just too lazy to take good pictures of them haha. Will upload pictures of my bazaar soon :D

MORE SALES PLEASE!!!! Today so bad sia

10 March = Good day ^^

SLURPPP^^ My own creation... made use of the choco fondue choco to make these :D

Today was yet another fun day!
Watched Boys Over Flowers the movie (i know super slow).. and soooo nice!!! Wonder how all the Japanese girls can really express themselves with those kind of high high pitch sound always hahaha.

The reason why i can watch so many movies.. (it has become a hobby and a stress-reliever for me) is because dom's house is like a DVD shop for those who still don't know lol! It has been my favourite hangout place because it is just so cozy, a nice family environment and lots of movies to watch!

And after such a long time of procrastinating... dom and I FINALLY... i repeat FINALLY went for a run.
And like it wasn't meant to be in the first place, the stadium was used by some secondary school's sports day. fail.com but nth shall deter our determination to exercise today!!! so we ran round the big round of the stadium and back to his house. Hope we made at least 2km today ^^

So today Christina and jh came over for the 1st time and we took a long while choosing an appropriate movie.. ended up NOT watching it because we just ate and Monopoly dealed! Such a pity we had to leave after 1 hour +++ only.. but yay got a ride home again! haha if not i'd be home even later..

Though it was just a short while, once again it was really fun ^^ Funny seeing someone else screaming and running away from the dog when it used to be me.. and someone who has similar traits as me LOL.

--------
I'm looking at life positively now... went to the doctor recently and i'm not all perfect, but I know i'm already better off than many many other people.. I will appreciate life even more, and live my life to the fullest.

Times like this makes me think...what if i woke up one day and found myself coming face to face with cancer etc... it really scares me to think that i'd die young, early and suddenly. So i must really really treasure all the time i am having right now :)

And no, it wasn't cos of Church which i attended ytd with dom and his parents lol... its just my own thoughts scaring myself. but its good i have those thoughts because they simply reinforce my belief... i shouldn't be all worried, frustrated and flustered everyday.

--------
On a random note......
MY HAIR IS ONCE AGAIN SHORT!
well not really short short but.... still shorter than before and longer when i first entered poly hehe.

----------

Pictures from Japanese Buffet @ Jurong Point.
Very afforadable for good japanese food ($15.90 excluding gst)

They even offer those baked salmon!!! :O:O its super expensive

-----
and another time out with dom...if i;m not wrong, straight after my exams on 4 march :D
Just Acia again with my favourite set meal of Teriyaki Chicken & Soft shell crab + Side order of their superb chicken (Comparable with Pizaa hut's chicken wing)
