Grrr....

As expected, tada~! one of the problems erupted again. sucks.. sometimes humans are really horrible.... better be extinct one day. *roar* *growl* *snaps* I hate slackers really, give people so much problems, cause me so much sacrifices last time and now making my co-worker so angry. feel like swearing now. kns, ccb, f**k, suck it humans! boo!

Interesting...

Ah... this is interesting.. I just made a discovery today that further proves one of my theory. A theory that has proven itself right so far, for most of the people. So true that sometimes I hate it so much, coz some of the others won't ever see it. Only some of us that experienced it will know, or only very experienced guys who have seen a lot of the world will know. Can't blame the average person you see, afterall, they're being deceived by their genes.

God bless me

If I were to write this hours ago, it would be of another issue. But at this point of time, there're simply too many problems going on. Too much on my hands. Dividing them by areas, congrats, I'll have about 5 different problems. And considering their intensity, I think you can make it 6. All in a week, all almost in a day. But the good news is, as of this moment, I have yet to reach breakpoint. Interesting. But I can't say the same about tonight or tomorrow. Life is so cool, things can be so dynamic that even the first & very preoccupying issue seemed like a minute and insignificant one now, as compared to the rest. W-o-W.
I don't know man, god bless me, that's all I can say. But being me, I should be able to get over this. Afterall, I always do. tsk, but it's always nice to have a bit more support. Thanks to those who have given me theirs. Especially my seniors, as always, have been providing me with a helping hand, a word of advice, counselling & consolation, in all areas, from academic work, to cca to life matters. I'm forever grateful to these people who have guided me since year 1.

My mood for yesterday and today has been pretty turbulent. And to tell the truth, I Hate that. I loathe feeling so unstable because it can't get me far in work or whatsoever. And just when I was nursing my wounds on this matter, problem 3 came, not mentioning the already very heavy week i'm having, with all the labs, testss, D&D, tutorials and assignment.(that's problem 2) Ah, so what is the problem? It seems that a clip that was to be due Tomorrow, is still in its infancy. Why is that so? ahh... becoz some slackers never do their job... all talk no action. If they were in the military and if I was their head, they're gonna be so screwed baby. Luckily at least there's someone working on the clip, my member.
This was good enough to distract my mind from issue #1.

Just when you thought that you've had quite a bit on your hands while on your way to grab dinner (and already starving), I started receiving inquiring questionss from somewhere further... plus another worrying problem, but sadly I can't do much to help =(

Of course, the reader will not know the full extent of what's on my mind as this was meant to be vague. But that's it, I think this is enough for the week. Spare me from more problems thank u.

Good news is I can move on from issue #1, bad news is, lol.. so many other stuff added together. But to free my mind is already a good one for me. At least I can study for tmr's test now and feel less turbulent.

bah.... what a day. zzz.. but it's ok, I smell good times coming soon. At least after this week, I will smell happiness for a short while.

The almighty shower therapy

I went back to Sentosa yesterday to continue with the filming of the remaining 2 pageants. This time with lots of SPF 50 sunblock lotion. lol.. It was a fulfilling day of filming because I got all the shots I wanted as a director and one of the pageant contestants was really outstanding. Her personality as a model and her showmanship was like no other. But then again, I heard she was a model. That explains it.

Back to the almighty shower therapy. I tried out one of my bath foams in bid to rid myself of the horrible itchy sensation. Miraculously, it worked! My skin feels calm after I used bath foam, maybe the ingredients inside it soothe my skin a bit, or maybe my skin was just recovering. Today I feel much better and I finally managed to get an itch-less good night's sleep yesterday. Wonderful.

But I look chow-tar now. Darker than you have ever seen me. Oh no, I just realised that it's just a week more to my hall's Dinner & Dance. :S Tan lines and gowns are no friends. oh man.... I forgot about that. eee.. itz gonna be so ugly.

Would you rather...

Qn: Would you rather your wife die first or you to die first?
Ah, this qn would be more applicable to guys and though it's kinda weird to face such a qn in a normal day, it brings pretty interesting answers. You can also know how the person is like from his answers. Anyhow, here are some of the answers that I got from several males.

1) Rather wife to die first.
(may sound shocking at first, but it's actually quite a noble answer. If you think about it, sometimes after the husband's death, the family will run into chaos and the wife may not be able to handle everything by herself. By choosing this option, he will be saving her all the pain and sadness of losing a loved one, bringing it upon himself to take all the pain & to live alone for the remaining days. Sounds like the answer to come from a noble father or husband. But I'm not saying that this is the right answer, cause there is no right answer).

2) Rather die first, wife later
Three reasons:
- Guy knows that he himself will be greatly affected by the death of a loved one and might not be able to handle it. (Reasonable) (But the presence of a young child may give him the strength to carry on. ahhh.... next issue.)
- Guy cannot let wife die first and if she lives, maybe life can still go on.
- Either one dies, the family will still go into chaos, so it doesn't matter.

But of course, all the above is valid, esp. (1), only if the guy is the head of the house. If the women is the head of the house, or if she's stronger than the male, then some reasons would not stand. So, it still depends on the individual.

Anyhow, I think losing someone whom has been a part of ur life for so long is horrible. Imagine that the person who's sleeping on the other half of the bed with you, for fifty years, is gone for good. My goodness, Saddening thought.

As for my answer to a female equivalent of this "would you rather.." question (as requested), I think at this point of time, I would choose to be the one to leave later. But condition #1 is, No sudden shocking deaths for both, itz too much for me to take. You'll feel like you've been robbed of something, suddenly, seriously. My reason for this answer is, even after experiencing the deaths of many beloved pets, I still wanna accompany my loved ones to the end of the journey. I wanna be there with them, to go through it together, even if it brings me horrible pain. Cause I think it's nice having your beloved ones around you. For e.g. some people die with their closest family members surrounding them.

Another reason would be that I don't wanna just leave everything behind and not seeing how the lives of my loved one passing by. Also quite sad right, imagine leaving the other person behind, alone. Whether I can handle the pain or not depends on the situation. As mentioned by one before, children and family can help give you the strength to carry on. So it's either that or... maybe now we know the reason why some elderly people pass away shortly after their partners.

Ok time to stop. Lim ever said talking about death of loved ones is a bit of a taboo. Well I think itz a bit sad when you think about such stuff or discuss about it, as a few of us did in the wee hours of the morning.

But yeah, people close to me would find such topics and others of controversy (like abortion, religion, life, friendship, relationships) not of a suprise. As for the rest, try to get used to it.

Lesson 1: Never question the sun's absence

I was away at Sentosa yesterday (from 9am-6+pm) to do filming of my hall's pageant contestants. wah shag, coz I slept at 4am the same morning as we were doing up the filming schedule. ah.. dun be too excited yet, I wasn't wearing a bikini and posing for the camera. :P
I was the one sitting in a chair under the umbrella, wearing cool shades and holding a loudhailer.(haha, no I did not had that but in short, I was directing it)

We met another group of people there, also filming pageant contestants. Maybe they're from Miss Singapore or something, I don't know.

The day started off with a cloudy morning, without any visible signs of our dear sun(needless to say, I wasn't using any sunblock lotion). Thinking that I would be in need of sunglasses, I brought them along. And I was complaining about the lack of sun to my frdz and questioning its absence. (partly becoz I wanna make use of my shades & also becoz we could use brighter conditions for better footages)
Good heavens, after a while, the sun heard me and began its job. Slowly, I was being roasted and cooked till I became RED. not pink or just sunburnt but RED. (and itchy and painful)
I became from a normal-coloured AL to this:

So yes, Lesson 1: Never question the sun's absence.

Other than that, the day went well and we ended our work earlier than scheduled. It was a new & fun experience as it's our first time doing such directing and filming for a Miss universe type of clip. Interesting day.

My first flip....

We were making omelette and pancakes for lunch one day and I tried to flip the pancake off the pan & into the air...

result-->


hehe.. *blushes*

there goes the poor 'lil crispy pancake...

If you were a vampire.......

If you were a vampire... would you bite a loved one so you would have his/her company for eternity? Or would you risk losing him/her to death?

My room

Ah.. this is my room in hall, if anyone is wondering. We took these when Irene was here (on Wednesday), so that Karen could see it :) Sounds confusing for the average person ya? hehe..
It was pretty cool to have Irene over, it reminds me of the old times when Karen was staying at my place for a while, and all the fun stuff that we did. :)

Good Article, esp for youngsters

Ok actually I got this from my email. Family(includes family of orientation and family of reproduction in sociology terms =P) comes first and I always believe that a truly good partner/friend will bring you back to your family, not away from them.


Subject: Fw: U can always FIND A NEW PARTNER but NOT YOUR OWN PARENT

Daughter-In-Law:"When I cooked food which are blend, you will grumble that
they are tasteless. Now that I have cooked saltier, you complained that you
can't swallow this at all! What exactly do you want?"

When the son came back, the mother immediately ate the food without a word.
She stared at him.

The son took a taste on his mother's food and spitted out immediately. He
ranted at his wife," Didn't I told you that my mother cannot take too salty
food?!"

The wife shouted,"OK! She's your mum! You cook for her in future!" After
saying that, she stormed into their room angrily.

Feeling helpless, the son told the mother,"Mum, don't eat this anymore. I
will cook you a bowl of noodles."

The mother said,"Son, you have something to tell me? Don't keep everything
to yourself."

Son:"Mum, I am going to get promoted soon and my upcoming working schedule
will be very, very tight...and as for my wife...ummm...she said she will be
going out to work...."

The mother understood what he meant and said in a begging manner,"Son,
please don't send me to the Old Folks' Home.."

The son remained silent and tried to think of a good reason to persuade her
mother.

Then he said," There is nothing wrong with the Old Folks' Home. Once my
wife had went out to work, no one will serve you as well as the Home which
provides you meals and care. It would definitely much better than being at
home."

The son went for a bath after that and went into the Study Room. He looked
out from the windows and thought back and hesitated a while....

His mother has been remaining as a widow since she was young with him, and
brought him up painstakingly, solely.

She tried all means to earn as much as she could, in order to support him
in studying overseas. Yet she expected nothing nor used her past painful
experience to threaten his son to be filial.

While now, his wife is threatening him with the stake of their marriage.

"Should I send my Mum to the Home?" He asked himself.

"The only person who will accompany you till the end of your life would be
your wife.." said a friend before.

"Your mother is in old age now, and if she's lucky, she might be able to
live for a few more years longer. Why not be filial to her for this period
of time? reminded by some relatives.

He was stuck in a dilemma. He did not want to think anymore, in order not
to affect his decision.

The son found a Home with high standards, built on a beautiful and
transquil mountain top. He told himself that he would feel much better when
the more he spent.

When the son helped his mother into the lobby of the Home, the 42" TV was
turned on. The programme shown on screen was a comedy. But no one was
laughing.

A few old folks, dressed similarly in clothing, were sitting there, in a
daze. There was one who was sitting improperly on a sofa, there was one who
was bending down to pick up a piece of biscuit from the floor, there was
one who was talking to himself...

The son knew that his mother likes sunlight, so he chose a room with ample
sun rays shining into the room. By viewing out from the room, was a big
piece of greenery scene. Few nurses were wheeling some old folks out for
some fresh air.

It was so pathetic of silence in the background. The sun would still need
to set down.

Soon it was dusk.

The son told the mother,"Mum, I am leaving."

The mother waved to him to say goodbye, opening her toothless mouth..

He turned back to look at his mother. She was full of grey hair and
wrinkled skin with deep set eyes...

He found that she was really old.

He remembered when he was six, due to some circumstances, his mother cannot
bring him along with her thus temporarily placed him at a relative's home
for few days. He recalled hugging his mother's thigh and begged her
not to leave him alone. In the end, his mother never leave him alone and
decide to stay with him.

He stopped thinking and left.

When he returned home, his wife and his mother-in-law were busy discarding
things from his mother's room, happily.

One of the discarded item was his tall trophy which he won as First Prize
when he was young. He wrote an essay on "MY MOTHER".

The second item discarded was a dictionary. That was the first gift from
his mother, who scrimped and saved for a month in order to buy for him.

He shouted,"Enough! Stop discarding anymore!"

His mother-in-law cried," There were so much rubbish. If don't discard,
there would not be any place for my stuff.."

His wife continued,"Yeah! Need to dump away that old, stinky bed of your
mum too. We will buy a new bed for my mum later,"

He saw some pictures from the stack..they were taken at a zoo and amusement
park when his mother brought him there.

"These are precious belongings of my Mum! You can't discard them!"

"What sort of attitude is this? I demand you to apologise to my Mum NOW!"
ranted the wife.

The husband said," When I got married with you, that showed that I will
love your Mum too. But why can't you do the same too?"

He went back to the Home and saw his mother weeping in between her frail
legs. She was missing the moments when her son would apply ointment for her
every night...

The son kneeled before her and said,"Mum, here I come. I brought the
ointment too."

The mother said," I will apply it myself, Son! You still need to work
tomorrow. Go home, Son!"

Son said,"Mum, please forgive me! Let's go home!"

Hope this is inspirational and touching to you.
Without our parents, we won't be here.
No parents will resort to harm their own children.
They only want the benefits for them.

For Daughters & Sons: Please remember to return gratitude to your dads and
mums.

For Daughter-In-Laws & Sons-In-Laws: Please love your in laws as you did to
your parents, coz without them, you will not find your partners...they are
parents too..

Presenting... Midway Fair !!

"Now into her fifty first year, Sheares Hall has indeed lived up to her motto... Numerous trophies and plaques from the victories of various games and cultural events aside, our most distinguished record of dominating the Rag and Flag competition over the past two decades is surely, a record that can never be beaten by any other Hall but Sheares Hall herself."

So yes, Sheares Hall is the Rag hall and here's presenting to you Midway Fair! The float that swept away 4 awards this Rag & Flag 2005- Best Float, Best Design, Best Presentation and Centennial Dance Performance Award!!!

(FYI, Midway Fair is constructed in the 3-month summer break, completely from scratch & handmade, with the wits and creativity of our designers, engineers, and the rest of the committee (material engineers, marketing, welfare, multimedia). And not forgetting, the endless practices that the dancers had and costumes tailor-made by our very own costume department.)
