went to Singapore Art Museum today for cyberarts field trip........very nice....all the art pieces.....among them there's this art piece called TV-buddha...now who's worshiping who.... the tv faces the buddha statue all day and vice versa....the tv carries the image of the buddha statue.....but i didn't get a pic of it...you've got to see it yourself...

however, i got this cook art piece called the adieu 1 by ger van elk....its a pic of a painting of a guy waving and walking away (into the painting....


the following are connected...it's called rhythm and song....naturally, i'm attracted to its brillant colours...the colours sort of brings out the music that the women in the painting are playing...




this one is my favourite.....abstract art.... reminds me of vincent van gorh


this one is titled among men is man.....

watched dirty dancing 2...
plot was very very cliche.....but i always dig the dancing.....very cool dancing....was telling myself, that if dirty dancing 2 has all the moves from dirty dancing 1......i'll rate the movie terrible....

but i was wrong....the movie's set in cuba....and there's this latino thingy and marackers....(don't know how to spell it).....it's a very irresistible beat....makes you want to moovvve your hips as well....but unfortunately....we don't know how to.....

want to download the cuban music.....kool!
was reading this book "the gift" or something....distributed by campus crusade..... cool book....it tells what the bible says in a very easy to understand story kind of way......

read this part whereby Jesus made a very selfless choice to leave home so as to preach to others......if it was me....i'll never have the courage to do so.....what complete belief and trust!!!!

was thinking, God doesn't do things so that we return his love....he doesn't expect it.....just like friendship, or love, you give and you don't expect anything in return......and yet.....it is the way preachers word the idea....to make us feel that Jesus gave up and suffered so so so so much for us, thus, we should give up material things and selfish gains, and do more for the ministry "in return" of His Kindness......BUT, they always emphasize that what we do is never enough to compare to Jesus....it's just this idea of reciprocating that we, our conscience, feels...that we must do something in return....we are being treated so well....etc etc....come to think of it, feel a bit exploited lah.....

slept for the longest time today.....slept at 2am til 11.30am....then did some stuff, only to sleep again at 2pm till like 4pm when i decided that i should go for the last lecture for one of my modules. but it was boring and because the lecturer didn't bother to write down the mathematical derivations, the people were so confused....but it wasn't that fun because he was rushing thru the lecture...no time to tell stories....

was really happy and grateful to faith for lending me her book.....finished it already.....love the name of the little girl....tala!....tala!...sounds so nice...so innocent...so carefree. not as inspiring as the first book but...it's definitely a book you keep and read again when you're down, or have lost your meaning in life......good book....

5 more weeks to exams...i'm still not very anxious yet, saw that julia from my chem class has started revision....can't revise the subject now lah...i'll just get sick of it and forget all the details when the exams draw near......

went on my long awaited shopping trip today. found the right person for it, lingz. but also becuz of me, i made her late for school (prep for openhouse)

was really long awaited.....had one month of mid-terms is is not in the middle of the term or sem at all. glad to note that i passed my practical with satisfying marks...92 average, 80 for solution, 96 for capsules (careless mistake) and 100 marks for external use lotion. heh...

and also, my physio test which i forgot how to answer the 7 mark question which i studied 2 days before the test. the paper was upon 40..... got 83.8 percent....ok lah....

then the lsm test....remember that it was the memorable rainy monday in which it rained for 20 hours. didn't take proper note that i had to go for the morning tutorial...which will help in my 2nd physio test...so i slept till....12? i forgot how many hours i slept and what time i slept... but....the paper was structured in sure a way that, it's very dependent on what the lecturer wants to allocate marks for....and the best part was that we didn't have a clue as to what the lecturers want.....but still hope to identify myself with the second bell curve which is on the high end of the spectrum. basically, for lsm module...the engineers are having a great disadvantage for not taking bio in jc. but i believe some of them did.....see!! want to take the easy way out in jc....take double sci and double maths....go home early everyday lah!

oh, yah, must remember to mention that i learnt how to play starcraft when i went over to jeremy's house during the weekend. was supposed to stay in the hostel and study for the 2 tests in that week.....but..=|...yah, affirmed the fact that grace cannot play computer games at all.

went shopping at far east and mostly og orchard point. spent so much money......i think i spent about $200 this week for eating and shopping already. during tests...i tend to buy and stock up on chocolates and potato chips....so.....spent alot....also updated my wardrobe.....that will teach yixiong to complain that i have no clothes to wear!but that a secondary concern.

the main thing was that i got to buy a black spag top which i've always wondered why i don't own one, looking at how many black tops i have. and a blue spag top....amazing why i don't have one of my fav colour too. and a sun surf top, which wanling describes as sweet, i think it's beachy...and its the design which i've been wanting to buy for a long time too.....and i finally got a sports bra which is of affordable price too.....

am so happy. but not very happy when i keep seeing the figures on my receipts which i used nets card to pay....did quite abit of personal grooming as well. first time go at manicure....feels good, great actually, but i tend to spoil it too fast.....plucked eyebrows....please my mum...she says my friend pluck not very professional....and it became apparently so when the beautician asked if my friend helped me to pluck.....and shave.

and in my fickle mindedness, i got persuaded by the salesgirl to buy a silver bracelet and necklace....bracelet is good but necklace...i have 3 necklaces from jeremy excluding the ones i have...and i seldom wear them....on my way back, the idea of giving the whole set of jewellery to my mom for her birthday hit me.....feels so much better knowing that the money i spent wasn't entirely for me....

got to thank lingz for shopping with me. check out the black top she bought from phuturelondon.....

as usual, i'm slacking away while i should be conscienciously doing my homework....tata...

Remember a time long ago,
long long ago,
when you were barely taller than your parents' knees and walked hand in hand with one hand in each of theirs?
that was when you would be cuddled and fondly told "you're the best thing in my life, you're my inspiration"

Remember a time long ago,
yet not far away,
when nature was your inspiration and harmony was beauty and perfection?
that was when you sit around hours on end to bask in their presence, for life's inspiration.

Do you recognise a time,
very recently coined.
When Lemmings jumped over the cliff into the valley of hip-o-creatures?
that's when you almost became one of them, except that you have learnt from the hippo song.

feel OFF, like not happening, not alive, not making full use of my time. it's the weekend, i have no lessons tomorrow and i'm not going out. one good reason not to is that the a level students will be running all over. celebrating, sobbing.....

what did i do last year? i think i went straight home, none of my friends were in an outrageously good mood to celebrate.

don't like people. prefer machines. what's the use of acting cute an giving half-hearted praises. i think i need someone to talk to. some one who can make me feel confident, someone whom i respect, someone who's been through all this but is not in anything. i think i know who. but would it be weird receiving a distress call at 7 am in the morning? great way to sadden the whole day right?

need to find my essence, my roots, myself again.

am procrastinating my spiritual development, my studies as well. guess it's true. the moment i kick God out of my life, everything goes wrong.

i'm conditioned to think that anything that's bad happening to me is because I am not at peace with God. and vice-versa. however, i'm less sensitive to my happiness.

i have no stamina and determination. i want out, NOW!
(goes back and sob inside)

*afterthought*
i really told myself not to feel so hurt that i incurred the wrath of someone time and again. "you can't please anyone" but.....but.....it's not as if i don't care. in fact, i care a lot about this. i figured out that i was made better without a mouth. and my fingers would do a better job talking. the reason being i type slower than i talk. so i think faster than i type. so i can backspace. yah! typing allows backspace!

go away, all ye who don't understand me. (i'm of course not talking to the correct audience here, but i have time on my hands and i need somewhere to vent my tots)

this is a long blog but many times, if only i have a PDA with me, you'll see much more tots. it's just like the time when i was with jh and i write down almost everything i see hear and think, mostly think to him. that was when i transformed from a one finger typist to a 3 finger one. still don't use the last 2 fingers, got weak fingers, can't play piano.
bombed myself again. it's not that i'm wrong or what. it's just....humans!....i want my girl friends back.

i should have adopted jh and josh's attitude when i adopted their style. now i'm neither here nor there. smses with no smileys no full stops no commas, no nothing except spaces and letters. question marks and everything else.
oh yah...pictures from fuzion which the manager persuaded us to take on v day.

(pic too big, affecting loading time, so i took it off)

supposed to get all our friends to go eat at fuzion and shun bian vote for the most charming nus couple. cheesy lah....plus, there were at least 4 usp couples i know of, out of the 20 chosen "finalists". so how's that for usp, as a part-time SDU?
did many man things which irritated myself today.

Female mag says it's supposed to be my lucky day!!what utter rubbish!

first i didn't get enough sleep. woke up late, didn't want to go for discipleship, so i turned off my handphone...became uncontactable (i know it's very bad, i consoled myself that i was going to go for the performance that night)
then...went for class etc....can't remember what other stuff i did which i found stupid. but the starting point, i think, was chem and us tut. i walked out of the class coz i didn't do the "assignment". the lecturer ah...when i did my homework nicely and all...all he did was discuss the answers...so i learnt from my lesson...just keep everything in my head, go to class. or better still, keep quiet in class, in case i incurr the further warth of my classmates for being too responsive to simo's questions. but....!!guess i should have keep my eyes more alert and differentiate between assignment and discussion and what-nots.

then went back to my room, dump my laptop, which i tot i would use during my chem and us tut, but didn't coz SR6 no power point. (that in itself quite stupid already) then went to sci, bought snacks and started eating....immediately felt stupid when i saw the amount of food that was left at chatterbox. the best part was, i tot i left my matric card in my room...i tot so, until very much later that night, by the time i realised it, i felt utterly stupid, coz i was forced to give up my deep dark secret (which also just formed because it just happened today....basically everything went wrong lah) because jeremy, who used his card to let me up, sensed that i was keeping something from him.

went to La-selle sia. (didn't go for the mass-e performance which i have been taking for granted i'll go) took bus from there. from the wrong direction, ended up at katong. no dinner some more. wasted $10 to take taxi. didn't take the lift offered by my classmate. regret it a lot....but for the sake of my pride.....basically he has a tongue ring, and i did once fantasised about how it'll be like kissing him, with the tongue ring. coz he always plays with it in class, and i always notice it coz he's sitting opp me most of the time. diff group mah... and he's a nice guy....ac guy, better than TCH right?
