Went to Ping3 Xiang1 Yuan2 to eat just now. Nice dim sum there and "zhu chao". We ordered Hor Fun, Sheng Mian, E-fu Min, Fried Rice, and some dim sum. The zhu chao is $4 each, standard size, and the standard dim sum is $2.30. A bit expensive for the dim sum though. They even gave us 3 egg tarts above $10 spent as they are having their promotions. The food is better than the much more talk-about Xing4 Fu2 Lou2 at Toa Payoh. Somemore no need to queue.
So where is Ping3 Xiang1 Yuan2? Haha... it's at Lorong 27 Geylang. At the corner of the road. Think it's definitely worth a try!

D-Day
Finally the results were out. Super disappointed with it. *sobz* Failed 2 miserable subjects. The worst I was expecting. Thought I would only fail 1 at most. *wheah*
Sent out my appeal to review my papers. That cost me $21. Hope I get something good back. *sigh*
Who can I blame? The lecturer? Yeah, they did sucked but eventually I think it's myself. My friends didn't do well either. Those smarties didn't fair well. Think the paper really too difficult. *sulks*
Next sem will be super xiong for me. Can't take my level 2 Japanese. I have waited for almost 2 years. But just kept failing my subjects that I can't do Jap in the sem. Have to wait for inter-sem, but don't think they will offer this subject. Stupid school.
HUMPF. Now have to crack my small head on what to choose for FYP. Urgh.

What Zodiac Sign Are You Attracted To?
You should be dating a Scorpio.
23 October - 21 November
Your mate is passionately caring, dynamic and
sensual. Though he or she can be
self-destructive, ruthless or overbearing, the
scorpion's sex life involves releasing his/her
most pent-up passions.

Attitude
My Dunman junior borrowed my LTC Instructors' tee-shirt from me...... thru sms. It's not about the sms that I don't like. It's the attitude that she gave! Not even a greeting, and it was kind of a demanding tone that she wanted the tee from me. And I have to pass it to another person myself. I hate it. I lent it to her on the account that she is also a Dunmanite. Or else, forget it man! What a terrible character she has got!
Still remember what she did 2 years ago. All of us were back helping Dunman with Leadership Training Camp (LTC). Due to each other's busy work schedule, it could be seen that commitment level from each individual has dropped over the years. But everyone still got their work done. And this ignorant gal typed a long complain letter immediately after breaking camp stating each and everyone's mistakes for the camp preparations and during the camp. And she sent it to all the seniors and our Camp Commandant which is the school's Discipline Master. She is the most junior of all of us, and she had the courage to do it! So, as you would expect, emails starting shooting here and there and fire and war broke out. Then the DM shot one lethal email that stopped the war.
From then onwards, all of us seniors vowed not to go back anymore. We knew we put the DM in a difficult position. But all of us were very determined not to hold on any longer. Hence, the end of our reign. Haha.
Haiz, that email caused our relationships to strain and it never healed for these 2 years. Some people, just needed more time to learn. One cannot just use force to control, sometimes, inter-personal relationships are more important. Especially in this society, we need each other to survive.
Tommorrow is D-Day. Think I will be super disappointed if I fail any subjects. Though I mentally prepared for one already. Sigh. Hope my efforts can prove me wrong. Really don't wish to fail any!!! *prays very very hard*
Van Helsing
Argh, pain in my gum!! Been wondering why it has been hurting these few days! It's the area in my lower left jaw where my wisdom teeth used to be. I'm so afraid the dentist didn't remove the whole wisdom teeth the last time. Wheah! Don't wanna go to the dentist again!! It's the same kind of sore feeling I had when the wisdom teeth was growing out. Really hope it's just "heatiness", not the remnants of my wisdom teeth. *very pain*
Went to catch Van Helsing in the late morning today finally with my mum!! Had wanted to watch this quite some time ago. It was a really great show! But it was a pity Anna had to die! I was expecting a happy ending with Van Helsing. To think that she fought so hard for her life against the vampires and in the end, killed by a third party. Sigh.
Had violin class today. Chao Chao passed me the piano score. He wanted me to play accompaniment for him for his violin practical exam. Wah, think I will be more gan chiong than him man! He has about a month plus more to exam, which means I got the same amount of time! Gotta practise hard, else will cause him to perform badly. Haha, to think that I actually agreed to it, cos' I think it's a kind of experience I should have. Well, think I should be able to make it. I used to be the pianist for my sec sch choir, so this shouldn't be a problem I hope. *crosses fingers*
Oh, changed the new outlook for my blog. Got quite sick of the blue background. Going back to black one. Still think the black one is more evergreen.
A friend has been trying to get back my friendship lately. Sigh, what can I say? Things that already happened will never disappear. I did try to accept the friendship again, but things will never be the same again. There will always be a gap between us. Hope time can prove me wrong. As Meihui has told me some many years ago, "One can forgive, but never forgets."

Yeah!!
Ooo... called up my music student's mum in the afternoon. Haha... her son also wanna learn music from me. Hee... means more income. Somemore it's a 11-year old kid. Haha... I'm so happy!
I also called up my new music teacher. Will be starting the first lesson with her this coming Thursday. Yeah, another step towards my dream.
Went to take the Trial Final Theory Test today. Hee, finally booked my FTT again. (Yeah, AGAIN, cos' I took it once before.) Hope I can pass it this time!

KTV
Went KTV with Yang Chuang and gang 2 days ago. Yeah, the same gang I always go KTV with. But this time round, we got a "star" with us. Haha. 2003 NTU Talentime runner-up - Zhang Le Sheng! In case you don't know who is he, he sings the cha qu for Xi Ling Men showing on Channel 8 at 7pm. Earlier on, if you happen to be a UFM100.3 listener, he is the guy who sang Xin Yang.
He is just like any normal guy, humble and nice. He only sang a few songs during the KTV session and when he sang, my heart melted! Haha! We took a photograph together. When I get the photo, I will post it here. Hee.
Then we went to have dinner at Kopitiam where he treated us drinks. Haa. We teased a gal with him saying she is his new fan. Haha. And how honoured it was to have him buy the drinks for everyone and took photo together.
After which, we went shopping at HMV and then sat down and talked at Spinelli. Time flew by very fast and was time to go home. They went to watch Shrek 2 at Cineleisure and Le Sheng went off to meet his friend. Though I really wanted to join them for the midnight movie, but guess I better go home. Else, will kena scolding from my parents. Haiz, how come girls can't stay out late?
Yesterday, my brother went to donate blood. I was struggling to go or not to go. In the end, I didn't. I guess I was too freaked out by the big needle. Erm, next time k?
There will be a countdown session with Hacken Lee at KL end of the year. My mum said I have already met him once and not to waste money when I ain't earning. Trying to persuade my parents to let me go...
Results are coming out this Thur late afternoon. I pray for the best. If not, I just have to accept it and retake. Sigh.

Feeling
Nothing, just feel like writing something. Late in the night and always lotsa thoughts. Sitting in my dining room, with the fan blowing into my face, with my parents snoring upstairs, so many thoughts.
Friends... come and go. Relationships come and go. I wonder if this lonliness will stick with me for how long. Haiz, but sometimes having the freedom to do whatever I want is pretty good. But when there's no one to care for me and no one to talk to me when I needed somebody is pathetic. Where have my good friends gone to? Or did I ever had good close friends? Ya, I had. But we lost the "closeness" after we went different schools. And busy school life results in loss of many good friends. Sigh, I missed talking on the phone with my ex. Though he wasn't a good bf, but I think at least the phone calls could cover up his bad points.
Haiz. Life ah life... think it's still good now. Should treasure it.

Holy?
I went to TM and Century Square today. Saw my used-to-be very close fren doing temp job there. So went over and talked to him. So I was suggesting a gathering session for my sec's sch Council group. So I was like asking if he will be free next Thur after 6pm since he's working.
"No... There's no work............................"
"Oh GREAT!" That was in my mind. But he added, ".....but I got church."
The thousand hopes smashed immediately. Somehow I know I could never win over somebody over church sessions. "Oh..." I gave a very short and bored reply. One could take time-off from work to just go church.
Sigh. Not birds of a feather flock together. Only this particular church go-ers are, too, no, should be EXTREMELY, enthusiastic. This friend used to be a devoted Buddhist. And after so many years, he converted to Christian this year, saying it gave him guidance and light towards life. When he told me this, I knew we will never be the same again. I "lost" many friends to the great Jesus.
So many friends tried preaching me, threatening our friendships and one of them even hung up the phone on me after I rejected her. Was it because of Christianity that we were friends or because we were really friends?
I believe one should have his/her own freedom to choosing their religion. They shouldn't be forced into it. My friends kept asking "WHY WHY WHY? Why don't you want to be a Christian?"
Erm, I think this kind of thing should be based on one's belief? I have no feelings towards Christianity. They said I haven't even tried, how would I know? Rubbish, I've been to churches, masses, Easter day performances and a catholic school for many times. And I feel nothing. Just had a thought that they were all obsessed people.
*Disclaimer: I do not oppose Christianity.

My Hair
Yucks... my hair is ugly. The more I look at it, the more I think the cut is really lousy. Looks just like being bitten by the dog.
My blog is ready. Haha... realised the midis were not working and found out that it was wrongly linked. And solved some mysteries here and there. Now trying to figure out a way to put a "comments" link to the blog.

Blog is UP and On It's Way!
Hee! Went to dye my hair at Jean Yip yesterday afternoon. I quite alright with the colour but not the cut! I think they dunno how to cut hair. Been there so many times, and they always disappoint me in the cut. Now I hope my hair grows faster, or else I'll walk around with popping hair. Urgh.
Haven't been out all these while since the exams. Been going to banks and settling all the unsettled matters. Still got a few to settle. How come the holidays seem so busy?! Wait till string ensemble practises and FOC meetings resume, I'll be super busy again! ARGH.
How's the blog by the way? Haha. The background and midis are up. What a hassle and headache to go through html line by line. More are to come. Just give me some patience. Haha.

Back From Old Blog
Holidays are finally here again!! Ever since from IA last semester, there wasn't a proper holiday for me. Exams finished juz yesterday afternoon, and I felt so happy! A much awaited day finally arrived. Sigh, but I don't dare to think how my results will fair. I'm again afraid of the word "da bao". As long as I pass, I'm happy already. I didn't ask for too much, right?
My laptop spoilt. The screen could not display anything but a white bright screen. So after my paper, I took a cab home (I'm too spoilt liao), took the warranty card out, and went with my mother to Kallang Sector. It was quite inaccessible there. We took a cab from Kallang MRT. My laptop have to be "retained" there for 3-7 days for diagnosis and repair. Sigh. After we walked out of the building, it was Infineon! The company Jiehui is working at! So I called her and asked if there was bus out. There was 2 bus stops, and we juz hopped onto the oncoming bus without considering which direction to go cos' the man at the service center said it is a loop service. Little did we know, the bus took such a long time to reach the terminal station! But we wanted to go to Aljunied MRT!! One wrong step - torturous journey!!! In the end, we took bus 21 from the "bird-doesn't-lay-eggs" bus terminal station back to Aljunied MRT! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MY YOUTH!
A few hours being couch-potato in the living room, enjoying the luxury of life - no stress, no work. HAHA! And now, in front of the PC typing my blog and listening to 933. Life ah life, IS SO GOOD now! Hee.
