Date: 14th Aug, 2009
Time: 2pm - 4pm
Venue: Math Resourse Room, MGS

We had our 2nd induction with Mrs Tay this afternoon. Not as boring as I thought it would be, we played games and carried out some activities that spies up the 2 hours :)

And at the end of the session, she shared this with us, which I would like to share with my dear friends who are in the teaching profession now, and those who are studying to become one in near future....

What Is A Teacher?

A teacher is someone who sees each child as a unique person and encourages individual talents and strengths.

A teacher looks beyond each child's face and sees inside their souls.

A teacher is someone with a special touch and a ready smile who takes time to listen to both sides and always tries to be fair.

A teacher has a caring heart that respects and understands.

A teacher is someone who can look past disruption and rebellion, and recognise hurt and pain.

A teacher teaches the entire child and helps to build confidence and raise self-esteemed.

A teacher makes a difference in each child's life and affects each family and the future of us all.

B.不知道烦恼的乐天派

你是属于自来熟那一类型的人物，没事也会找事做，没话也会找话讲，有你在的地方就有笑声。你的人际关系不错，大家都挺喜欢和你相处，而你也总是开朗大方，所以朋友很多，常常有参加不完的聚会，让你疲于奔命。

C.择善固执的坚持派

G.无忧无虑的天真派

Dunno got time to study or not...... My students' test, my test... which one more impt?

7 formal observations down! Whoohoo! Yeah....

Drowning in the sea of essay marking, art-and-craft(for S'pore kindness/graciousness week) and lesson plans........

I have to stay back 1 day till 8pm to help out the sch for a lecture to the PSLE pupils... and tat day falls on my Japs Test day.... sigh....

McDelivery for our Breakfast on staff retreat day!

Had my lunch with my VP today. Had a great chat with him. He said he received one of the posting. Congrats to the only PDGE trainie. She is posted to ZHPS. It's a good news. I also wished to be posted to this school. Not bec I wished I can stay in an environment that I'd alr used to, but ZHPS is a good school with capable leaderships and great facilities, I must say.

*Pray hard!!

Practicum - Teaching Practice

2009-02-25T07:19:00.000-08:00

3rd day of Practicum

Date: 25 Feb 2009

Venue: ZHPS

Practicum started 2 days ago. So far so good. Just observe how other teachers teach. Today abit tiring, more periods for observations + 3 periods of contact time, and Japs lesson aft school!

I have my own table at the same resource room. Blissful and comfortable. The bad thing is the observation week is only 1 week. That means i've to "chiong" my lesson plans now!! But all the students are going to take their CA tests next week -_-" I hope I can start to teach aft the March sch holidays like other trainies. That would be better, at least I have more time to prepare, plan. I can then start to take over their classes to teach a new chapter. That would be better for me, I feel. Sadly I do not have right to request such an ideal way of handling a class to the trainie, unless the CTs think the same way i do and kindly let me take over after the term break.

I know I will survive, I know all my other classmates, too, will survive. Let's jia you together!

CNY 2009

Haven't seen my dad for almost a year. So he really express his love to me one day. It's really very sweet of him.

爸：我家有5个宝。

我：哦？哪5个宝？

爸：就是你妈还有你们4个孩子咯，蛮珊！

我：cheh... 我还以是为什么家传之宝之类的东西呢！

爸：haha....我们家就这些东西，哪来的家传之宝？

我： =）

Daddy seldom take pictures as he doesn't like to see his white hair that reminds him that he's getting old. So i always take his pic without his knowing, and this one looks good...

Hope daddy recovers faster via meditation and able to travel to the places he likes to visit.

Rolly Polly

2009-01-21T18:27:00.000-08:00

Date: 21st Jan 2009
Time 1730
Venue: Camden Medical Centre

Last visit on Sunday with Henry was considered great! He was quite nice to tell me Rolly Polly's secret during his school days, which I then used it to tease him today when i visit Rolly Polly. Wuahahaha.........So fun to see Rolly Polly trying his best to explain in order to cover up his embarrasment.

Yup, went to see Rolly Polly again. Hahaha.... He didn't do anything to my mouth this time as Henry managed to keep my upper and lower teeth perfectly aligned with the centre insistor. Good, elastic rubber bands he used, and he positioned the rubber bands in such a way that my mouth can open wider than before. So there's nothing for Rolly Polly to do actually. I am just... perfectly fine.

I remembered Henry told me he was wondering how come Rolly Polly only tied a rubber band on one side of my mouth. Bec tie-up one side won't be much help to keep my lower teeth in the centre. So i passed the enquiry to Rolly Polly, and his reply melted my heart: "Bec I want to make your life easier mah..."

Oh no, I think I am going to miss him badly. I don't know when is my next review. Hopefully it wont be 3 months later...

Meet ups...

Date: 16th Jan, 2009
Time: 1100-1330
Venue: NTU

It's really great to meet up with one of my juniors Huiqi aft a long while.We actually boarded the same bus from Bt Panjang all the way to school but we didn't know till we met at NTU Mc! :p

She told me that she saw me on the bus, but she thought I was a person who looked like Sooshan/me, so she didn't have the courage to say Hi to me...lolx. Hahaha.... See, how cute she is.

My doctor once told me that if I met a friend who didn't see me for about 10 years, he/she would know that I looked different, but couldn't pin-point where exactly that I'd look different. (but 10 years ago I was still a child! Of course now I look different from my chilidhood la!!) Hm... But I haven't seen Huiqi for just a couple of months only... and she couldn't recognised me nor she could point out exactly where i looked different till I told her. ^_^

18th Jan is coming. Long awaited one since Dec last year. Haven't seen my dentist for about 2 months, and I am going to see him for the 1st time since my oral surgery. This fella, like what Dr Tan said, refuse to see me before 18th! All bec he only come to that dental clinic one in a month. GGgggrrr..... If he could visit me earlier likewise, I could have recover faster than expected! Anyway, wish me luck! I think he's going to tie more rubber bands on my mouth apart from changing wires.

Visit Dr Tan - laughter

Time: 1635-1700

Visit Dr Winston Tan - Laughter

Intro you guys my jovial, cute doctor -

Dr Tan

Bihui nicknamed him Rolly Polly due to his round face. I think his face quite ok...not very round. haha....

As usual, I went to see Dr Winston Tan at Camden Medical Centre for follow up session.

Seemed like i am the last patient before Dr Tan left his clinic as there were no other patients at the waiting area. Didn't see the admin staff too, they probably applied leave for new year celebration. haha...That's my assumption.

I sat on the sofa and read a magazine, waiting for my name to be called. 5 min later......

Dr Winston Tan: Hi, Sooshan! (take note that he didn't call me "dear". I will see you soon...SOON! (I don't know why he stressed the word "soon" by repeating it and sound louder the second time he said it. I remembered he was releasing his surgery mask when he said that to me...

Me: (looked up and waved to him) Hello...

Dr Tan walked towards to his office, where a room for some paper works and... "coffee or tea" haha...He asked his nurses to do something and then 3 min later, he open the room's door and said to his nurse....

Dr Tan: Where's XX?

Nurse: He cancelled his appoitment.

Dr Tan: Okay, great!! Sooshan, you may come in! No one's in front of the queue right now. ( So this was why he said "soon" twice? - Great that he didn't call me sweet names this time. He used to call me "my dear" everytime i visit him.)

Me: Okay. (Carried my bag and marched towards the room. From my experience, Dr Tan always made my day with his skilled conversation, so i was expecting something happy to happen.)

As i marched towards him, (he was standing near the opened-door, welcoming me to enter :D)

Dr Tan: How are you now? Okay alr rite?

Me: (left my bag at a side) Yup, I am fine. (what more is better with all the rubber bands released?)

Dr Tan: Great...When are you going to see Henry ar? I know you said 18th.. but hm... aiya.. that fella ar.. so busy and reluctant to see you earlier.

Me: haha...

A nurse came to hand a paper napkin around my neck.

Dr Tan: Okay. Let me see... Bite slowly, girl.

Me: GGggg... ( I tried to cheat a little by slanting my jaw towards my left, as it has a tendency to shift towards my right when i bite my teeth together. However, Dr Tan is not stupid...

Dr Tan: (hold my chin gently, eyes zooming on my mouth- his physical touch really has a kind of charm... )Open slowly... and bite again.

Me: ...... (shacks, can't cheat him!)

Dr Tan: Okay. Hm... I will have to tie some rubber bands for you this time. Your lower jaw seemed to shift forward. What for, right? my dear...I mean, you have suffer so much to make it going backward. (probably saw my little frowning face) These tiny rubber bands are 小儿科, just need to tolerate a little more...(gave me a smile) Okay, dear? I don't mean to torture you. But just endure a bit more. (gave me a big bright smile)

Me: ...Okay.

Dr Tan walked away to take something.

Me: It's 3 weeks after my surgery! yeah...

Dr Tan: Ya. And you know what, you're very great in your recovery. Some people in their 3rd week still with their jaw swollen like 2 big ... (showing me with both his hands clenching below his jaw).

Me: Really?

Dr Tan: Ya.

Me: Hahah.... But I still can't chew.

Dr Tan: Yes, you stilll can't chew until... the end of 6th week after yr surgery. By the end of 6th week, you'll be able to eat whatever you like.

Me: Oh, ya. Am I fit to do exercise?

Dr Tan: Oh yes. Hm.. but not swimming.

Me: Oh...

Dr Tan: You planned to go for swimming?

Me: No..But why?

Dr Tan: Water may be contaminated. The water is dirty...

Me: Oh..

Dr Tan tied a rubber band at a part of my braces hook. Maybe due to my saliva, the hook was quite slippery, the rubber band slipped!

Me: ouch...

Dr Tan: Sorry dear...(again?!) (twissed and turned with a pair of winded-surgery scissors)

Dr Tan: (to his nurse) Get me another Cherry rubber band, please.

I was like... did I hear it wrongly? Anyway.. didn't bother me much. Then he tied another one...

Dr Tan: Okay. Get me a Chipmonk rubber band, please!

Me: huh? hahah..... (started to laugh non-stop)

Dr Tan: Really. The rubber band is called Chipmonk. Different elasticity. I can show the packet to you. Get me the Chipmonk rubber band... the whole packet.

But the nurse gave the wrong packet...

Dr Tan: Hey, why you give the Cherry one, I want the Chipmonk!

Me:HHhahahahahaaha...........( I laughed whenever I heared the word "chipmonk"!! each time he said that word, i laughed with a new breath, getting louder also.)

Dr Tan: hahaha.. (laughed with me). Hurry, pass me the chipmonk packet. Sooshan might be thinking I really put a chipmonk into her mouth! haha....

Me: HAHAHAHA.....

Dr Tan: hahaha..... there.... you see. This is called CHIPMONK rubber band. haha... (showing me a medicine pack which labelled with a chipmonk eating a walnut pic on it)

Me: (can't stop laughing) hahahaha.... (I personally thought that the chipmonk pic is really cute!!)

Dr Tan took out one CHIPMONK rubber band and placed the whole packet aside. He then got ready with that scissor, WAITED with a SMILE, for me to stop laughing so that he could tie the CHIPMONK rubber band on my braces hook.

I was trying real hard to control myself. And finally, I managed to stop laughing. Then the nurse pushed the dental lamp so that the strong light is now focus on me. Hate this!

Dr Tan: Yeah... You can tell this to your friends.

Me: (Laughed, but trying to control) Hehehehe....(He quickly finished banding - so that I could continue with my laughing...Oh, how embarrassed!)

Me: (0pened and closed my mouth, trying to pull my lower jaw ...) Hm... A bit tight!

Dr Tan: Hm... ya, you'll feel a little tight now. But you know rubber bands.. after a few days you will feel a little loosen. Your friends can recognised you or not?

Me: Some.

Dr Tan: Hm... I see you again .... probably around new year, ok?

Me: New Year?

Dr Tan: Yup...

Me: You don't rest during new year?

Dr Tan: No, I don't rest and can't rest. I am responsible and must take care of you. If I don't take care of you, who will? Right? Even Henry also don't want to take care of you!

Me: haha....

Dr Tan: Even if I rest, if anything happen, I will go to your house and see you! haha..(saying this with his right index finger coming nearer to my face...what a cute guy he is!)

Me: haha....

Dr Tan: Yup, I love to see you la, anyway you're quite free also right?

Me: No, my school reopen next week.

Dr Tan: Oh.., school reopen next week ar... 几号？4号ar?

Me: (Shake my head) 5 号。

Dr Tan: Oh, 5 号。Then I see you before that la. ( Turned to the nurse) So I see her around 3rd or 4th.

As I stood up from the lying cushion, he saw I was too skinny.

Dr Tan: Hey girl, can put on some weight or not?

Me: How to gain weight? Having soft diet all these while...

Dr Tan: I can donate some of my fats to you, you want?

Me: haha... I want... the unsaturated one.

Dr Tan: No problem. A few kg here.. hhahaha...( His hands squeezing a flesh from his tummy)

Me: hahahaha...(thinking probably the saturated fats!)

Dr Tan: Ok, so I'll see you again. Go and enjoy your new year. Eat more!

Me: Okay.. Bye. Have a great year ahead...

Dr Tan: (node his head) Okay. Bye.

Thank you

2008-12-27T19:07:00.000-08:00

After the Exam

2008-11-15T14:37:00.001-08:00

After The Exam

During the exam, I was dizzy with too much studying, and taciturn bec I was tired an badly in need of FRESH AIR, as my days and nights during weekends were spent locked up in my bedroom. So I know how I would spent the first few days after my exams have finished..

St James and Dragonfly

- It was my first time there. Accomponied by Pat, Jean and QY.

It's a pity that we forgot to take pics there... but we had a great time chatting and laughing. I think this is where I went to get over the numbing effect of the exam....

God parent's house

Felt terribly sorry that I only managed to visit them once in a while. And my god mother would always feast me with Indian meals whenever I visit them.

K-box - Just went. And definately will go again soon. Let me pracitise more songs first. Hehe...

Movies - There are a couple of movies I want to watch...

1. Quantum of Solace
2. Madagascar 2
3. Sing to the Dawn
4. The Coffin
5. Twilight

Anyone? - Or i will watch it myself.

I am sure there will be days when I will stay at home and do some paintings, play indoor games and watch tv. Yup, which is now!! I will laze and laze, until I am throughly bored, and become ready to be mentally active again. (Hopefully).

I am home alone for at least 4 days! Damn! It's long story and I shall not pen it down here. Ask me personally if you want to know it.

%&#*@%

Nevermind. I occupied the whole house now. Hehe....

I still have another bettle to fight in Dec!

Second visit to Camden Medical Centre

2008-11-04T05:27:00.000-08:00

Date: 4 Nov 2008

Time: 3.30pm - 4.30pm

Venue: Camden Medical Centre

Mood: Moody to the core! Pissed!

Feel very pissed since morning as I receive an email from Pac@gov indicating the digital cam that i claimed is rejected!! Going to send the original copy tomorrow.

As I walked along Orchard Boulevard to Camden Medical Centre for my appointment, I could feel I was stamping my feet all way long. Another reason I feel so moody is because of the Educational Psychology Essay! Though I am finishing soon, I feel that there are much need to be edited. Can foresee my psychologist sister commenting on it and probably I have to re-do. 60%!! Not kidding, ok? Sighh... though I am doing on the topic of Motivation, but i don't feel motivated at all.

Next, let's talk about what dear Dr Winston Tan said to me regarding my Maxillofacial Surgery. He's happy with my teeth alignment, but Dr Henry Ho says he needs to adjust my arch a little before my surgery. And my 2 wisdom teeth will be extracted. The most important thing i have to do now is to eat as much as i can. Yes, need to gain more weight as I will lost 4 to 5kg after the surgery.

Feel very sentimental aft i walked out from the medical centre...

I've booked 10th Dec for my surgery date. Hopefully the holidays are long enough for me to recover so that i no need to take MC. Approximately 6 weeks to heal. Sigh, you can tell that my holidays will be ruined!

So if you are kind enough (and have good conscience), DO NOT mention abt yr travelling plans in front of me! I will 'slap' or even 'curse' you if you do so! I am sad enough, alright?!

Random pics: Memories that keeps me happy...

Thank you to Guech who painted the Hanna for me during Deepavali :)

It's Baby Shawn's turn now....

Painted Skin 《画皮》

After school, BH and I went to Jurong Point for the movie, Painted Skin. Somewhere near to the end of the movie, Bihui suddently patted on my hand. My eyes wided for a second as I see her tears flowing continuously. “你干麻？"and she said, "太感动了！"...

Being a little embarrased, she quickly wiped her tears away with her fingers.

wuahhahaha.....

It's quite touching la... But I didn't cry when watching it. My eyes would only welled with tears when I listened to the movie song, 画心. I find the charm and of Jane Zhang's vocal when she sings the song.

I am sick!

2008-09-29T05:56:00.000-07:00

Date: 29th Sept, 2008

My holidays is ending. But...I am very, very sick!!

I am terribly sick!

And got stress out!

It's my ever worst day in 2008, i guess! I have diarrhoea for a few times, and vomitted whatever i'd ate the day before during midnight + low appetite.

The bed is the place i spent most of the time today as i hardly sit on a chair cos my tummy ache like no one business.

And the diarrhoea, giving me hard time throughout ... I have to "chiong" to the toilet almost every 30 min, even when on the way to see doctor!! Gosh! I hurried to the clinic's toilet right after i registered.

I was supposed to take a test in school today, but I really couldn't make it given my condition. Hopefully, Lin laoshi won't change the paper to a more difficult one when i take my re-test.

My savior now - 100 Plus!

Again, visit Dr Ho for my orthodontics progressing adjustment in an early morning as he's going to Chiangmai, Thailand in the afternoon for a holiday. Good for him, I feel like going too la!! But... sigh...come back to reality, my term break is coming to an end!

I would visit Dr Winston Tan for a second time in Nov for blood test and whatever it's neccessary for the surgery preparation.

Scary la... and i was told maybe my surgery is somewhere in Jan though i told him I prefer it to be in Dec. However, surgery this kind of thing cant rush one... No choice la. Dr Ho said he would try and see how it goes after I told him I have something major in Feb.

A pic of Dr Henry Ho:

A pic of Dr Winston Tan, have not seen him for a year alr!!! haha...

Latest Update...

Wake up 4.45am, my handphone rang and i picked up. It's Peiling, asking my whereabout. You may be thinking what stupid question is it. 4+ am, in the morning. What would you be doing early in this hour? Must be at yr room sleeping la! But hey! Oh, no!!! I am late! Peiling and other juniors are going to Changi Airport as they depart to Wuhan!!

Ok, give me 5 min. And i ran all the way to my opposite block and apologised to Peiling's parents. At the same time, I received my eldest sis sms that her water bag burst suddently and had rushed to the hospital. Gosh... Aboard the lorry and headed to airport to bid them goodbye. Met Mr Ray and Nan-nan!! Feel so great meeting them again aft so long.

Me and Cheng Yao... Havent take pic for quite a long time, hm... I really think that my teeth look nicer than before. That's good. Ok, though last time i blogged about how much I hate my dentist, but, hey, he did a good job and in fact, he did it in a short period of time. This coming end of Oct will be a year since i put on my braces. Oh ya... the surgery date is reaching......

Me and Vivian...

Went to eat breakfast at T3, haha...my favourite Terminal. And took MRT all the way to Boon Lay. Alone. From one end to the other end of Singapore.

=( Annie didn't manage to come as she overslept. Otherwise, I could have go to school with her. Surprisingly, the MRT is really fast. I am the first among the class to reach, given the fact that I came from the furthest distance to school. Met Annie in school and hala~ with her about her overslept. She was the 2nd one to reach the classroom.

Sis told me no need to visit her coz she was extremely tired, but alright. So went to watch Wall-E at Jurong instead.

NDP Rehearsal 2008

2008-07-31T19:04:00.000-07:00

What else happened during my practicum period??

Ha...Watching NDP rehearsal in one of the sat with Patt!

Sis's school's choir is performing, so...1 of the students parent couldn't make it, so she has 2 extra tickets for me.

It wasn't that interesting as compared the one i watched in NDP 2006 at Kallang National Stadium.

But ... i think the RSAF Black Knight performance is the highlight of the whole show....

Not forgetting the fireworks too! hehe...

Pics....May click for larger view...

ZHPS Open House 2008

2008-07-26T17:39:00.000-07:00

Ok... let's update!

Date: 11th July 08 (2008)

Event: ZHPS Open House cum Racial Harmony Day

I did some help out by welcoming and distributing the floorplan of the sch and sch file to the public when the stepped in the sch compound for the event.

My baby nephew Shawn came too, with his mummy's company, of course and the dear Sherlyn and maid.

Jinyi lent me her chiongsam for the event as I do not have any traditional clothes. Principal and VP came to talk to me at the welcoming booth at the floyer, and asked about the crowds of the day. I think it's many, given the fact that it's a friday. Weekend would be more ppl!!! Some came to ask about the P1 registration, they sounded very keen. Hm...good. That means my choice to request to be posted to the sch is a right move.

Met my Pricipal's daughter, Merrisa. I could tell that she's the principal's daughter at the 1st sight! Coz she looks so much like her father, chubby and cute. Haha...She's 6 this year, so going to go P1 nxt year. I asked her if she's interested to study in this sch, and she happily said yes without any hestiation. So cute la!

Then later when Principal approached me, I asked would he take Merrisa to study in his sch. He grinned, and said "not really...".

It's a long day, till 7pm!!!The sch treated all the staff with buffet dinner. I didnt eat much though, coz I need to "chiong" to Causeway Point for movie.

Watched "Red Cliff" with Yufung. It's a 2.5 hr movie. Rate 4 stars for this movie! It's quite good, if you know the story of "Romance of the 3 Kingdom" fairly well.

Many war scenes. And, of course, bloody as well.

For more info, do visit http://yule.sohu.com/s2007/chibi_22/

It's "Red Cliff" official website, with trailer.

虽然这部剧作很好，但是金城武来演诸葛亮，觉得还是......嫩了点儿。

嗯，可能周润发当时辞演周瑜一角是对的吧！梁朝伟不愧是演技精湛的好演员。不是说周润发不好，每个演员的诠释方式都不同，但是我个人觉得，梁朝伟会比较出色。嘻嘻！

Update...

2008-07-23T01:18:00.000-07:00

Dear readers,

I am sorry that I haven't update any new, exciting entries lately. I need a rest! I want to chill! I need a break!

1 month practicum is finally over! And, I think I did a good job. =) Given the fact that my supervisor and co-operating teacher think that I did well. *wink

It's another 2 weeks before I start school at NIE. Should I called it a 2 weeks break, or holidays aft my practicum? - Well, initially yes. But there are many orientations and subject briefings, meetings, tuitions... In the end I left with very limited time to do things on my own leisure. And all these irritating stuffs are compulsory. I hate to see this word appear in the notice/letter. Before you knew, I could have crush that papers into thousand pieces.

All these made me crazy. I start to ponder, how nice if I'm rich? So I can do what I want, so that there is no need for me to give tuitions...

I am tired.

I am exhausted.

I need rest!!!

Orthodonctics Progressive Adjustment

2008-07-05T21:05:00.000-07:00

Date: 6.7.2008
Time: 11am
Venue: Bethel Dental Surgery, Bt Panjang Plaza
Moody....

Went for my orthodonctics progressive adjustment after McDonalds' breakfast.

Dr Henry Ho: Hello, Shan. (since when he's so cordially to call me Shan?)

Me: Hello.

Dr Henry Ho: Take a seat and rinsk your mouth. Think of the colour you want to put on this month.

Me: (Again....) What's your second favourite colour?

Dr Henry Ho: Oh...erm, light purple? it's a sweet colour. Or erm, light, pale yellow... looks nice on braces too. You decide,dear. (smiling...how come he's so nice again??!)

Me: Light purple then.

Dr Henry Ho: Ok, when is your next term break?

Me: This month, after 18th.

Dr Henry Ho: Oh, that's too soon. I am asking you this because I have to schedule you for the surgery. ( I know la..., otherwise you would ask me out for a date meh??)

Me: Oh, erm...Probably November.. yup.

Dr Henry Ho: November, I see. Ok, your lower teeth are ready. For the upper one, just need to close up the gap here, ...on your right.

Me: (nodded my head) I have to extract my wisdom tooth during the surgery?

Dr Henry Ho: Yup, we'll do it for you during the surgery.

Me: Both side of my wisdom teeth need to extract???!

Dr Henry Ho: Yup.

Me: Oh no. I don't wish to lost any of my teeth anymore.

Dr Henry Ho: Well, I understand. But as we cut your jaw, your lower wisdom teeth are excess teeth, which are not functional. So it's better to get rid of it.

Me: So Dr Winston Tan will do the extraction for me?

Dr Henry Ho: Yes, dear. Hm... ok, so I will get your teeth ready to go for the surgery in November. Everything will be alright by November. (I can sense he's smiling behind his mask)

Me: Scary.....

Dr Henry Ho: Haaha....., Don't be scared, every thing will be fine, my dear.(again...)

Me: Hm...

Dr Henry Ho: Before you go for your surgery, you need to see Dr Winston Tan again somewhere in Sept or October, to do some blood test and x-ray.

Me: I hate needles.

Dr Henry Ho: (nodded) haha....you hate needles. Haha...Everybody hate needles, including me. The one poking the needles and the other being poke are 2 different experiences.

Me: (nodded with appreciation) Yes...

Aft a few minutes....

Dr Henry Ho: Ok, done. If you're wondering why i tided the rubber alternatively, it is bec i want the gap to close up faster. So that you can go for surgery in Nov. I am telling you this bec you're an adult. If it's a kid, I won't bother to explain. Hhahahaha....

Me: Hhaha....(rinsk my mouth again)

Dr Henry Ho: So I see you in another 4 weeks again. I will write to Dr Winston Tan that you will do your surgery in November. Bye.

Thinking of the surgery I will be going through in November, I feel so tensed up. Time flies, it's been nearly a year since I put my braces, and now I have to get ready for the surgery. The word surgery is just scary enough...

If you're wondering what surgery that I have to go through...

It's called Maxillofacial Surgery. To shorten my lower jaw bone, and this will make me looks different from my present appearance, and with my 2 wisdom teeth removed. Sounds like cosmetic surgery? - Hhaha...not really la. Depends on how you look at it. Orthodontics itself doesn't belong to cosmetic surgery...and mine is orthopedic cum maxillofacial surgery...... Haiz...whatever.

School Experience

2008-06-25T07:26:00.000-07:00

School Experience

Date: 23rd June 2008
Time: 0930 - 1600
Venue: Zhenghua Primary School

So, here I am, the 1st day of my School Experience, together with other 9 NIE Trainie Teachers, reporting at different timing. Apart from me, other 5 of them report at 0930 as well.

So when we reached, we attended the briefing at the Conference Room, and filled up forms etc and received our time tables respectively. I'm not really happy with the weird, float timing i get, though my sister think it's quite good as I do not need to report early to school. Hmm..., what do I mean by "weird, float timing"?

- Report at 0925, and can go off at 1555. Not totally belong to the AM session, nor in the PM session. - All MTL teachers are at floating timing. Sigh... What to do? I don't have a choice but to accept it. - The days hence become shorter to me, where Bihui and Mavis can go off early at 1pm, and the remaining of the day can do whatever they want...Ggggggggrrr....

After a 2nd short tour around the school, we were then dismissed, and was told to do and go anything we like. We were not given a seat in the staff rooms though there are 2 staff rooms in the school, as they are all fully occupied. We were given a table at the Staff Louge, where the teachers use it to release stress by having a cup of coffee, reading newspapers at the comfortable sofa, etc.

Hm.....ok la, considered not to bad. The bad ones are yet to come. I only have one Cooperative Teacher. She's a very nice, experienced teacher. Hence, the classes that she take are rather poor in academic results and mischievous ones. Plus, the class that she's handling is an International class, meaning some of the students are from different countries! I've observed 1 of her classes today, and I really think it is really a challenging for me to maintain good class management. On the 3rd week of my practicum, it is my turn to teach and handle them!!!!!!!! Oh my!!

Oh ya, I am taking P2 and P4 students.

Nightmare: I have to write my reflection journals and reports in which the classes that I've attended and observed. By the end of the week!!

Busy life begins here again.

Off I go.

Smiles =)

2008-06-18T09:34:00.000-07:00

Smiles =)

Date: 18th June 2008
Time: 12pm - 10pm
Venue: Somerset/Swiss Merchant Court

After I gave tuition to a Pri 2 kid at Dunearn Rd this morning, a young man smiled at me while I walked towards the bus stop. I do not know him, just another stranger to me. He was coming out from the house which is partly renovating, going towards his lorry for something. Wondering why was he smiling at me, I replied with a small nod and smiled back.

Was it because I am pretty to him? Or merely because I walked out from a private appartment? --So he wanted to show politeness to the rich? (But I am not rich, neither I come from a rich family. I am just passer-by. Haha...)

When I reached Somerset, it was raining. I like rainny only when I am at home, but definately not when I am outside. The rain spoilt my mood, somehow. However, as I was crossing the road towards Centrepoint, a man caming towards me, and same as the young man that i came across in the noon, he smiled at me. =) And again, I do not know this man either. And I did the same thing.

These 2 smileys that I received from strangers brightened up my days. So ppl out there, SMILE!!! It will meant a lot to ppl who received that smiley face. Even though you do not know the person at all. Really.

I reached Swiss Merchant Court early evening, at 4pm plus... Walking around, and met my secondary classmates 2nd time on the same day! the 1st one was when I walked back home in the noon for lunch. Debbie, Hanni. Dehao and Ziyang. =)

Glad that these ppl are still keeping in touch with each other since graduated. The girls looked really different from secondary school days, with thick make-ups and long eye lashes...haha... Looked nice though.

I wished all of us the best, and happy always. =)

Smile =)

Date: 27th May 2008

Venue: NP
Time: Whole Day, ceremony 1300-1430
Event:Graduation Day

Mummy came all the way from Klang day before my gradution. Fei, children and me went to pick her up at the bus stop, which she would alight at after she took the bus from Woodlands Custom.

She was very happy to see us, waving shyly in the bus with her big bright smile, which i always admire of. Why do i say so? - You'll understand when you see her bright smile in the pic later when you scroll down....

We had a long chat in the evening, and I showed Mummy my graduation attire, and the top and bottom which I intend to wear it the next day. Mummy also bought many snacks from Klang, saying that Grandma wants to give me some dumplings that she made. However with the fear that she may be charged at the WC, she didnt want to bring it in the end. AAAaarh, so i couldn't manage to eat the dumplings that Grandma made.

Graduation day........

Early in the morning aft breakfast, mummy finds my frindge quite long...and so...she helped me to cut...turned up...I didnt like it...but everything is too late...so I accepted it instead. Aft shower, mummy did the make-up for me. Took one whole hour! Fei then followed mummy to buy me a boquet of... Japanese type of flower. Haha....

I rushed to NP after lunch, went to LT 68D for briefing and proceeded to the Convention Centre. My God-mother came, just in time. 4 more before my turn to take the scroll box. Haha...but she missed the 2 photo videos which the school made for us. Not her fault, of course, as my god-sister has rashes out of a sudden.

So this is it...the Convention Hall...

With Wanwan!!

With Patricia!!

Outside the Convention Centre: At the Refreshment Point

With Mr Kwek!

With Mr Ray!! Cute as ever... He's also one of the emcee in the graduation.

With Chen Ying laoshi!!

One by one? Too slow...一起上！

With my dear Mummy! My mummy sweet smile!

With Baby Shawn!

With Sis Soo Fei!

With my brother in law and baby Shawn

Hello??? All my dearie friends..where are you??? I'm looking for you guys to take pictures leh...

Invited WeiJie but he couldn't make it in the end due to work. But he had prepared me a graduation present. That's so sweet of him...haha..Anyway, want to congratulate him as well, for winning the 2nd price in a Chinese speech competition.

In the evening, we went to Ling Zhi Vegetarian Restaurant at Novena Square for dinner. My God parent and God sister came to join us for dinner too. The food is nice. 2 thumbs up!!!

After dinner, we went to their house for a short visit...haha...

It's a long day for all of us. But I am happy. Waiting for my other God sister to come back from US, to take our graduation attire together!!

中国四川7.9级地震

2008-05-15T08:22:00.000-07:00

(转载)战士跪地而泣：求求你们让我再救一个!

这两天来，看到太多让人难以言表的悲伤,回忆地震当天并没有想象到这场灾难的严重,直到前天看到网络上所有的让人震惊的不忍目睹的真实照片。

真正不愿意中国从年初以来就饱受太多不公平的国家和人民再被迫接受这样一场残酷的天灾。昨晚,一上网就看到这篇文章,再次忍不住落泪了:

一位四川的记者朋友讲述自己的所见, 刚刚从绵竹退下来的她只用了四个字形容，就是：“世界末日。”她说她几乎无法工作，眼泪就没有停过，太惨了，一片一片的废墟，到处是哭喊的声音，救援队发了疯一样的救人，然而往往救不了，跟着去的摄影只了拍一张照片，就扔下相机去帮忙，因为那情景让你不可能站着看着。

她说，她在一个学校现场看到了她永远不会忘记的一幕，学校的主教学楼坍塌了大半，当时正在上课，几乎有100多个孩子被压在了下面。全是小学生。一些似乎是消防队员的战士在废墟中已经抢出了十几个孩子和三十多具尸体，看着那些小小的，带着红领巾却再也无法睁开眼睛的孩子，她说她突然觉得自己说话的勇气都没有了。

然而就在抢救到最关键的时候，突然教学楼的废墟因为余震和机吊操作发生了移动，随时有可能发生再次坍塌，再进入废墟救援十分的危险，几乎等于送死，当时的消防指挥下了死命令，让钻入废墟的人马上撤出来，要等到坍塌稳定后再进入，然而此时，几个刚才废墟出来的战士大叫又发现了孩子。

几个战士听见了就不管了，转头又要往里钻，这时坍塌就发生了，一块巨大的混凝土块眼看就在往下陷，那几个往里冲的战士马上被其他的战士死死拖住，两帮人在上面拉扯，最后废墟上的战士们被人拖到了安全地带，一个刚从废墟中带出了一个孩子的战士就跪了下来大哭，对拖着他的人说你们让我再去救一个，求求你们让我再去救一个！我还能再救一个！

看到这个情形所有人都哭了，然而所有人都无计可施，只眼睁睁的看着废墟第二次坍塌。后来，那几个小孩子还是给挖出来了，但是却只有一个还活着，看着那些个年轻的战士抱着那个幸存的小女孩在雨中大叫着跑向救援所在的帐篷的时候，她已经泣不成声。

无法想象这在电话中已经如此惊心动魄的情形在当时是怎么样一个悲壮的场面，但是这是真实的，而且，在现在，在震中地区，这样的事情还在重复的发生着。

不知你们是否发现这个规律：

1月25日,雪灾=天灾
3月14日,藏独=人祸
5月12日,地震=地灾
1+2+5=08
3+1+4=08
5+1+2=08
08年08月08日奥运会

这次的地震,让我更加珍惜现在所拥有的美好生活,和我身边可爱的亲人和朋友。人的生命是多么的脆弱和无法预知啊,和人的平安和健康相比,什么都显得不重要了!所以我觉得我们现在每一个正平安健康活着的人都应该感谢,感谢我们是如此的幸运和幸福。

Dental Visit

Dental Visit

Date: 11th May 2008
Time: 11am - 11.30am
Venue: Bethel Dental Surgery

I used to hate dentist as I think that they are all impatient and rough ppl.Arrogant at times. Warned you with all sorts of stories, if you don't do it, you'll get unbareable consiquences...blah...and you would do whatever he said aft listening to his advices. Didn't had good experience with dentist since young, for they only make my life miserable whenever i visited them.

This orthodontic specialist of mine has the 2 characteristics that i mentioned above. On the other hand, he is rather, cute and funny.

Here's his little bibography:

Dr Henry Ho C. W. Ho
B.D.S. (Singapore)
M.D.S. Orthodontics (Australia)
M. Ortho. R.C.S. (Edinburgh)

Dr Henry Ho has 13 years of experience in dentistry, specialising in orthodontics. Prior to joining Pacific Healthcare, he was a dental officer with the Ministry of Defence and later National University Hospital.

He has a keen interest in aesthetic orthodontic appliance therapy, and provides orthodontic care in early intervention of dental malocclusions and habits. Conventional orthodontic fixed appliances (braces) are also available.

Dr Ho also teaches locally and overseas. He is an associate staff with NUH, and a part time clinical tutor with NUS Graduate School where he lectures and provides clinical supervision to postgraduate students under the postgraduate orthodontic programme.

He pursued a postgraduate orthodontic degree from the University of Adelaide, Australia, after graduating from the National University of Singapore. He is also a fellow with The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

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

Incident 1, happened 11.5.08

As usual, I walked into the dental clinic for my braces adjustment. My appointment today is 11am, which means I am the 1st patient of my orthodontic specialist, Dr Henry Ho,who only comes to Bethel Dental Surgery once a month.

When I reached the clinic, as usual, i threw myself into the sofa and read some of the magazines. Didn't know that actually i was the first patient, i thought he could be inside, checking for other patients... After 5 min, i was quite surprised to see him coming from outside, with his casual wear.

He walked in airy and greeted me with a Hi, and then continue to walk to the room swiftly.

When he was ready, his helper called my name.

Dr Ho: Morning, take a seat and rinsk your mouth.

Me:....

Dr Ho: Hm...your teeth are getting neater. That's very good. Think of a colour now, we'll change it for you soon.

( previously, during festive seasons like Christmas, CNY, he'll suggest colours like green and red to me.)

In the middle of checking my teeth alignment/spacing or whatever,.......... he was taking an equipment, and some fine liqud thing just spleshed on my hand and shirt. Fortunately it's colourless, tasteless as well, i think.

Dr Ho: Opps....sorry, girl....

I just use the tissue to wipe my hand. Smiling silently with my mouth half opened.

One of my braces was loosen and dropped off, he replaced a new one for me, with another equipment. As he wanted to glued the thing on my tooth...he need the equipment with somekind of propellant. And again...another liquid form accidentally spurted out. It's red liquid, just 2 droplets...on MY FACE!!

Dr Ho: Opps...Haiz...What happened to me today ar? Just now I splashed that on your hand, and now on yr face. Terrible~~

Me: ..... (couldn't do anything as i was lying down with my mouth half open but just let him wipe off the droplets on my face, smiling silently, helplessly).

Dr Ho: Girl, you know that you're biting my finger right?

Me: Huh? Oh...( laughing softly, embarrassedly, loosen my bite)

Dr Ho: It's ok, many patients has this tendency...of biting my fingers without knowing.

Me: Haha.......( this is call revenge...heh...who ask you to spurt something on me twice? since you said it's ok, i shall just continue to bite your finger! hahaha..........)

_________________________________________________

Inccident 2....occured 3 months ago??haha.....

I skipped a dental session, without notifying him in advance as I didn't know that i couldn't make it to return in time as my dad went to IJN for check-up in KL.

So the next time we met, was another 8 weeks time of the previous appt. He only come to the clinic once every month.

Dr Ho: Hi, Sooshan. Haven't been seeing you for a very long time.

Me: Hello. Haha... yea. I... ( i was about to appologise for didn't make it for my last appointment.)

Dr Ho: Actually it was just one month, right?

Me: Huh? ( Shld be 2 months bah...??!)

Dr Ho: But I've started to miss you already...(grinning widely)

Me: haha.......

Dr Ho: Rinsk your mouth. Your teeth are in good place now. Can see that from your sweet smile.

Me: .....

So in the end, I didn't know whether he noticed of my absence last month... But anyway, it's over, and nothing went wrong with my teeth. And most importantly, i get to save $120 for skipping a sesssion. Hehe....

心情日记：毕业篇~之前

2008-05-02T18:18:00.000-07:00

心情日记—毕业篇

5月27日就是我的毕业日了。

妈妈、姐姐和姐夫，外甥都会出席我的毕业典礼。

最近，班长也在为我们的毕业刊，埋头准备排版。哈哈......辛苦了。

最近在朋友家唱了一首歌：

《明天会更好》

歌词：

轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵

慢慢张开你的眼睛

看看忙碌的世界是否依然

孤独的转个不停

春风不解风情

吹动少年的心

让昨日脸上的泪痕

随记忆风干了

抬头寻找天空的翅膀

候鸟出现它的影迹

带来远处的饥荒无情的战火

依然存在的消息

玉山白雪飘零燃

烧少年的心

使真情溶化成音符

倾诉遥远的祝福

唱出你的热情

伸出你的双手

让我拥抱着你的梦

让我拥有你真心的面孔

让我们的笑容

充满着青春的骄傲

为明天献出虔诚的祈祷

谁能不顾自己的家园

抛开记忆中的童年

谁能忍心看那昨日的忧愁

带走我们的笑容

青春不解红尘

胭脂沾染了灰

让久违不见的泪水

滋润了你的面容

唱出你的热情

伸出你的双手

让我拥抱着你的梦

让我拥有你真心的面孔

让我们的笑容

充满着青春的骄傲

为明天献出虔诚的祈祷

轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵

慢慢张开你的眼睛

看看忙碌的世界是否依然

孤独的转个不停

日出唤醒清晨

大地光彩重生

让和风拂出的音响

谱成生命的乐章

唱出你的热情

伸出你的双手

让我拥抱着你的梦

让我拥有你真心的面孔

让我们的笑容充满着青春的骄傲

让我们期待着明天会更好!

多么好听的一首歌啊！歌词好更不用说！有意义、有梦想。

27.5.2008，我不是很期待这一天的到来。这一天，你要让我走了，从此只能挂着Alumni的名义来探望你。我真的很感谢义安理工学院-人文学院给我充实的每一天，它激励我勇往直前，是我的第二个家、我的避风港！谢谢你在我的学习生涯中留下美好的篇章。I appreciate all you'd gave me.

追梦

作者：博友~颢枫
根据古文篇章的模式编写。够厉害吧？由衷的佩服！！

秋风吹过，细雨歌；枯藤瘦小，树影烁；流水轻轻滑落。千山万水，无数黑夜，只有脚印踏过.零星闪烁，月光轻柔，天使坠落。怀揣梦想，双手合十，等待流星飘落，微微点头，闭上双眸，心中默许，见证成功瞬间。鸿鹄高翔，壮志雄心，乘风破浪，无可阻挡，顽强小草，迎接黎明的阳光。因为有梦，所以前进，因为理想，期待明天！

永远无悔，沉醉过往，追求明日完美。半梦半醒，穿破虚拟，灰飞湮灭，追悔莫及。明日复明日，明日何其多？曾经的酸甜苦辣，曾经的风花雪月，曾经的悲欢离合。记忆犹在，悲伤袭来，时间在多豪言壮语，如不抓紧，也如流沙般滑落。蒲公英的降落，希望点亮明日之火。

做好起跑的准备，冲出原点决不撤退，享受过程的完美，因为拥有同样的机会，梦想擦拭眼泪，再累也不后悔。数轴人生，原点左右，理想的梦在飞，振翅去追，有目标就不累，等着我超越，爱与希望同在，携手迈向理想未来。

千山万水，等待一轮月，希望之光，永远不熄灭，冲破天空，画出一道美丽弧线，彩虹出现，尘埃落定，梦想超越！

Xu Beihong in Nanyang

2008-04-30T07:42:00.000-07:00

Date: 22/4/2008
Day: Tues

Event: SAM Tour - Xu Beihong in Nanyang

Time: 12pm - 2.30pm

Be inspired by Xu Beihong works created in the 1930s and 40s during his sojourns to Southeast Asia, and I've learnt about him during the Chinese Painting Class, I decided to get down to Singapore Art Musuem to take a close look of Xu's art works. Asked many friends who would like to join me for this occasion, and I am fortunate to have Xinni to cultivate such artistic paintings together. =)

So SAM, here we go.

Xu Beihong (1895 - 1953)

He's one of my favourite painters whom i admire very much. Good at chinese painting, calligraphy, poet as well as the western oil painting.

Look at these oil paintings:

这位卖唱的姑娘，因唱到一半饿晕被父亲鞭打，围观者见状斥骂父亲。

讲述中国人民的穷苦生活。

The Portrait of a Young Lady.

The Slave & Lion (1924)

The slave safed the lion's life by removing a needle from it's leg。 So the lion didn't eat him up when the slave's master threw him in the jungle to feed the lion.报恩。

Look at his Chinese Modern Paintings...

The Standing Horse 立马。

He's very good at painting horses. Different horses, facing different angles, heading different direction...All the paintings look so real as if it were like a photograph. I like the way he paint the horse with ink. It's not easy to master the soft brush with the black ink on the 宣纸 (rice paper) as it will smerge very easily if not careful. However he could master it very well and create great effect. Look at the whole structure of the horses. Look at the horse's hair! Tiny fine hair! It's flying in the breeze.Look at the horse's legs! I was told in class that he observed the horses' legs for a very long time before he starts to paint the horse.

Click here to know more about the exihibition.

Inspired by Xu's art works, I then went to Bras Basah for papers and paintings...haha...

And so..., we ate our lunch at 3pm at Bugis, at a Hong Kong Restaurant. The food not bad la... Like the spicy fried tofu that Xinni ordered. Fried chicken wings also quite yummy =)

Went Plaza Singapura after that. Measured...walked 10,000+++ steps.

Yup, we met at the Telok Blangah before we set foot to Sentosa. We sang song, played games, and took our lunch there...and dragged till like...1pm...we finally left TBSC to Sentosa...wonder how come we took such a long time.

We then took bus to reach Sentosa, here's the gateway of Sentosa :

For your viewing pleasure, this is the sunset taken from the beach...

We played Captain Ball, then stations games, kinda FUN! haha..but as I was playing together with my team, so i didn't take any pictures during the games. Have to wait for Yiling to pass it to us.

2008-04-19T20:41:00.000-07:00

Date: 15th Apr 2008

Time: 9am - 5pm

Venue: MOE building, Far East Plaza

Early in the morning, we were stuck at the MOE for a boring briefing, submit forms and collect the Trainie Teacher Handbook. Have to go through a medical check-up at Raffles Hospital again! Yes, again! I did that 3 years ago, to check that I am fit to study, now this time have to check whether i am fit to be employed. Hell, I hate needles! But still have to do it! Booked my date on the 29th Apr for this.

Can you belief it was 3 whole hours for this briefing? I went there with an empty stomach. My tummy was grouning almost every 1o min la!

We decided to chill at town aft we left the building. Chin Lam, Yifang, Bihui, Mavis and me headed to Far East Plaza for lunch. And i suddently remembered Huijun recommend to me about the Mogu-Mogu Restaurant both in MSN and her blog. haha...And so we went there for our lunch. hehe....

We need to order our food using this machine.... (photo taken from Vivian)

Got my food in less than 5 min, and i chose Combo B dessert, which was a mini pancakes with ice-cream and red beans. =) Yummy. I think all of us ordered the same dessert. haha... We ate the dessert first for that we disliked melted-ice-cream.

This was what Yifang ordered. Cute right?? It's an egg yolk ball, and the eyes were made of ....sesemi? and the little mouth was made of carrot. (photo by BH)

Yea, we settled down at this round table. Nice ambience, isn't it?? haha...

Then we shopped around Far East Plaza, BH the Shopping Queen bought 3 clothes in a shop, haha... and I got myself a pair of covered shoes.

Mavis wanted to do her hair cut, but in the end we ended up doing manicure at the 5th level. =) It's my first time doing manicure! and it costs only $12! I told BH luckily i didnt do it at T3. Haha....
It was pretty long process, most of the time had to wait for it to dry using a mini fan.

We then proceeded to Kinokunia! while Mavis and Yifang went to the bank to re-do the passbook. Bought my Korean lonely planet phrasebook!! hee...=)

_ENd_

T3!

2008-04-17T08:01:00.000-07:00

Date: 12 Apr 2008
Time: 1.30pm - 9pm

Venue: Changi Airport Terminal 3 (T3)

Look at the hours we spent... and you know we took our own sweet, leisure time to explore T3's public area. Yes, it's my first time visit to T3. Bihui is 2nd or 3rd visit? haha...

I took bus 858 from Woodlands Interchange to T3. Last time it used reached T1 first, then to T2. But now with the opening of T3, the bus reached T3 first.

The first destination of my T3 tour was B2 Mall, where I alighted from 858 at the bus bay. Then I could see the MRT right opposite the bus bay. Hm... seems very easy accessible for all.

A water fountain at the centre of B2 Mall:

Hungry for a bite! Soon after Bihui arrived, we proceeded to Popeyes for lunch. The only Popeyes in S'pore... It's a fast food restuarant specialised in chicken & biscuits. The buttermilk biscuits is nice, but Bihui didn't really like it, she prefered the fries though =)

Aft lunch, we went to Candy Empire...haha.. It's really a dream come true for snack lovers.It has hundreds selection of chocolates, biscuits, and gourment delectables. Jelly beans, chocolate bar, liquorice, marshmallows, nougat, popcorn, wafers, lollipops, gummies, muesli bars, rice crackers and different favour choices, all sourced from quality manufactures in USA, Australia and Europe. I bought some chocolate snacks and rice crackers so that I could store it for my supper. Hehe...

I asked the girl whether she wanted to do Manicure at Body Contours Nail and Spa, at the cost of $18, express. In the end she tried to encourage me to do...haha...after thinking thrice, I decided not to.

Headed to Chocolate Factory at Departure Check-in Hall at Level 2...bought 1 chocolate bar, costed me $21++. But I am happy with it. It taste good. I like the packaging, attractive and slightly...quirky! haha...

Hey, Be happy, yea?! Whenever you put it in your mouth, it's a bite of heaven! It certainly get your mouth watering! Of course I'll be happy!

We then loitering around the viewing mall...Took many pics of our faces, but let's focus more on T3:

Bihui and I at the T3 Departure Hall:

Look up! The ceiling is designed to let natural lights to travel into the building while cutting out the tropical hear. There are 900 skylights with reflector panels that automatically adjust the level of daylight into the terminal.

The Green Wall at T3 Arriving Hall - Can you belief there were 25 different species of plants welcoming me to T3?

Another fountain at T3 - 3 Top!

T3 Transit

As mentioned in my MSN, I simply love airports and airplanes. So we went to 3 Top for a view of planes taking off and landing. But...kind of dissappointing though..., couldn't view it very clearly. Hm...unless they remove all the glasses...haha.... or i happened to work in the airport one day, i could go to the airway to watch the planes take off... (Too much Air City...haha... I am day dreaming again.)

I simply wanted to stay longer, so we sat down at the waiting area for a chat. Then, we took a skytrain to T2 for dinner.

We dined at a HK restaurant... and spent 1.5 hr there? haha..... till 9pm!

Haircut + Shopping at Bangkit Market

2008-04-08T00:42:00.000-07:00

Date: 8/4/2008

Time: 10 - 2pm

Mood: Bright yellow

Wanted to have a haircut very long ago, but couldn't find a good timing to go. So finally today got at least a free day time to run some errands...and hair solon, here i come! Went to Teck Whye Neighbourhood for a haircut and straightened my frindge with my second sister. It only costs $25. Cheapest in any other place! haha....

My second sister does not like her frindge aft she's done. She said her's like a broom! LoL....hahaahahhahahahhahahaahahahh.........

Mine looks more natural...

My sis refused to let me take her pic, so... haha...no pic of her.

After lunch, I went to buy a bank draft, but it needs 1 hr for it to process and fax it to the destination i want. So, while waiting, i went around Bangkit to shop some OL clothes. And I bought.......

A black stripes with ribbon on the waist. It's kind of hard for me to get a fitting one for my size. And it's only $20.

A light brown top. Looks elegant! of course, the cutting suits well on me. This costs slightly expensive, still, worth of buying. $23. hahaha....

This is a dark brown skirt, can match my top above. $20.

And a pink tube at $6.....no need picture for tube la... bleh!

So total $69! Hm.... Shall i blame the waiting time! But ok la, these clothes are useful to me when i start my School Experience.

Ok, let's talk about my nephew... His facial expression and postures are always my amusement. These pic were taken last night, after he got scolded by his mother for some reasons...

And these were taken 2 days ago... when he just came back from school, mother not at home, so... he came to my room to disturb me! haha.....I made him do some drawing to keep him busy. While I could take some rest and left my ear clear of his noise and nonsense.LoL...

2008-04-05T08:33:00.000-07:00

Date: 5th Apr 2008

Time: 1430 - 1735

Event : Movie again!

Met up with Yufung for movie...Hm..., it's one of the latest in the list today: 3 Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon.

Wanted to watch on a weekdays, but Yufung is only free and available in the weekend. So, here I am again at West Mall...Yufung gave the conveniecne to me.....Thank you so much!

Basically, overall ok, good sound effect, music well chosen! But the historical facts are......inaccurate.

Inaccuracy 1 : Cao Ying - Never exists at all. Hm, I thought there was such person in the facts, till Yufung told me it's a fictional person. Then I started to rmb that I'd never seen a woman taking part in wars througout the whole novel. Yup, the novel is referring to The Romance of the 3 Kingdoms.

And....Maggie Q really looks out of place, fact is, she doesn't look Chinese at all in the movie. While I think the fictional character of Cao Ying is ok to fit in the movie, but I wonder why Maggie Q would land with this role. Should be someone else instead.

Inaccuracy 2: Wrong Costumes, especially the warrior's helmet. (i dunno that, till i found out from web's reviews). They said that the armors they wear in film only appeared during late Yuan and early Ming dynasty...It's another few centuries further from 3 Kingdoms...

Andy Lau, playing Zhao Zilong (Zhao Yun). We were discussing who would be more suitable to play the role before watching it as Yufung has doubts that Andy Lau can portrait the character well...but in the end, we agree that Andy has excellent acting skills. He's suitable for this role.

Yufung doesn't like the ending at all... so as me. Yes, we know he would sure died with 1 person fighting with hundreds of enemy. But in the movie it turned out ...faded...,

The fighting scenes...i must say, it's very vague. I only see soldiers dashing to each other, blood splashing out...That's all. The actions are not clear. Hm..., a little dissappointed though..... i give 3 stars out of 5.

_________________________________________________________

Date: 3rd April 2008

Time: 1030 - 2000

Mood: Tired, Forlorn!!

Met up with Xinni at Sembawang for lunch at Galere. And we're exchanging learning foreign language. We met the week before for our 1st session.

Rushed to meet Bihui at Orchard for our free trial yoga class...I find it quite good, very professional as compared to CC ones, but I can't afford at this moment. Though the "coordinator" kept doing something to "help" us...we're getting frustrated as we could sense they were pressing us to join their membership, for whole 1.5 hr... had been talking abt it!!!BH got irritated and complained that she was late for her tuition. Hm...expected this kind of "dialogue session" alr. But...sigh...so what? Wait till I get my salary up to $5000 first, which I dunno when....T_T... will try the other yoga centre in future, which is, perhaps better than this company.

After we left, we proceeded to our tuition session. It was rainny day, and I reached my student's place 30 min earlier. >,.<

Taught her Science throughout the 2 hours. She's still confused with the food web and not clear what's prey and predator. ...Hopefully we can do some maths next lesson.

Event: The 3rd time baby Shawn visit the cinema.......

Mood: Cloudy

It's kind of difficult to bring a kid out for shopping or watching a movie which isn't a cartoon. This 4-year-old kid was not ready for this movie, i must say. Cause most of the time he was standing (luckily he's not tall enough to block the others who were sitting behind), eating his potato chips (otherwise i do not know what to keep you busy), and hiding his eyes when he saw some violent/scary scenes. NOT forgetting his soft, innocent voice:" I am scared."

So this is what happened last Tues, when I grabbed baby Shawn aft he finished school to meet up with Bihui at West Mall. We had McDonald for lunch and he only interested in eating French Fries. He was delighted to received a blue McD balloon and the toy car from the kid's meal. Bihui and I love to teased him which eventually annoyed him. Yes, he could get angry very easily. He got angry when Bihui ignore cam-whoring with him in the toilet.

Then, we proceeded to the theatre to watch Spiderwick Chronicles. >.<>

Ok, I am sorry that you were not able to watch yr "elephant show" (Horton) as I alr watched with some1 earlier, and none in your family wants to watch this with you, but it doesn't means u can disturb me in the theatre when it was airing...i eye balls didn't stick to the screen 100%, all bec of him!

Some of the creatures look very scary, as they looked ugly, which scared baby Shawn and turned towards me for comfort...^_^

He's good ogar....the Guardian Angel of the "haunted" house...

Honey....his favourite food

Went to shop around West Mall aft the movie. Bought smth from Tom an Stefanie.... and then we took the train home. Hm..., I supposed it's 1st time baby Shawn took the MRT haha...he was so blurred yet excited aft he managed to tapped his standard card at the control station. >.<

K-drama: Before & After Plastic Surgery

2008-03-27T08:36:00.000-07:00

Before and After Plastic Surgery ( 비포&애프터 성형외과)
MBC drama offers a new perspective into plastic surgery. A K-drama which is airing in Korea now…

Yes, I am watching Before and After Plastic Surgery these days. 3 reasons:

1. to kill some of my time.
2. Lee Jin Wook, a new actor which I admire.
3. trying to learn Korean Language at the same time, on my own.

Well, Plastic surgery, what a common thing nowadays. I remembered we used to discuss this topic during our Popular Culture lesson - Danny Yeo's class! Some of us agree and some disagree to encourage average or below average looking people to do plastic/cosmetic surgery.

Well, this drama sums up everything we'd cover, in 12 episodes!

This is a scene in episode 3, after Hong Ki Nam was tricked by an old man later humiliated her in front of his wife, claiming that she was cheating his money in fact he was trying to court her by lending her money. Han Geon Su faced with guilt after being slapped by the girl whom he deceively dated in order to keep her as his client. Their expressions are priceless.

Cast:
So Lee Hyun as Hong Ki Nam
Lee Jin Wook as Han Geon Su
Kim Sung Min as Choi Young Woo
Jung Ae Yoon as Manager Yoon Seo Jin

In this drama, Hong Ki Nam is a freshly graduated nurse who just started work at the B&A (before and after plastic surgery) clinic. She is a poor kid, doesn’t have place to stay, and believing that the clinic offer hostels for their nurses, ends up staying at Han Geon Su (the clinic director)’s apartment. Han Geon Su is a plastic surgeon. The clinic has been passed on to him by his deceased father. The clinic is in bad debt because of the father’s “mortgage”. Now, its up to Han Geon Su to try to save the clinic but with one problem. He cannot perform surgery. He faces his old trauma of holding the operation knife (or any knife at all) due to a small surgery mistake that he believed he made. As a result, Dr. Choi Young Woo, a terrific surgeon have to help him conduct surgeries. Unfortunately, Dr. Choi is ignorant about latest trend thus he could not give proper advice wanted by people who undergo the surgery. Personality clash between Han Geon Su and Dr. Choi brings the drama to draw out what are the values of a plastic surgeon. Manager Yoon works at the clinic for a long time and is the peacekeeper and the person behind the stability of the clinic.

This is the part 1 of the 1st epi.... Mind you, some of the scene may be disgusting to some of you....

yup...that's right......“disgusting” was the first word that came to mind when I saw the first episode. A grand opening of “live” preview of plastic surgery on the nose. They actually knock some kind of bone into your nose. It’s not just a play-doll clay moulding and wahla you have a new nose. You actually bleed a lot to get that new nose.

So by now, you should understand what this drama have to offer. An insight of plastic surgery: nose surgery, gender change, breast enhancement, botox, eye lid and even the one that can make you seem like a virgin again (vomit).

Clearly, not my field.

However, though this show is about “promoting” plastic surgery, they offer a new perspective to plastic surgery. As Dr. Choi Young Woo of the show puts it : “Each time when a patient come to me and say they want to undergo plastic surgery, I will ask them, why are you doing this? Who are you doing this for?”. Because beauty is what you are, and you are going to live with that unnatural look for your life. “Do not do it for someone else” is the message of the show.

We find that many a times, like breast enhancement and facial beauty, these surgeries are done for their spouse’s sake, or for popularity sake. Of course, if its not for these reasons, its hard to find other reasons to do it. There’s always a realisement (is there such word?) that you are beautiful just as you are.

That’s the main OST of the song. “You are beautiful” sang by 박병무 (another lost unknown singer : remember LSIH OST’s 박영민?) . That’s the song that is playing in the background of the clip above. What a great song, what a great voice.

This drama is aired once a week (what kind of drama airs one episode a week?) on Sundays and have altogether 12 episodes.

Went to NP HMS office to meet Bihui and Huijun, they were having meeting for the graduation yearbook. I wanted to go to the Library to sign up a Foreign Language Enrichment Course. But when I reached there, saw this notice surprizingly.......

What the.......!! What a waste of my time to reach here...have to walk another big round to reach Blk 53...!!! Somemore have to pay by cheque or cash only!! I was told in the email that I can pay via nets cards! I don't have so much cash in my wallet, ok? GGGGGGGggggggggggggggg~~ !! Out of anger and dissappointment, and Huijun told me we may not be eligible as we're graduating soon...so I decided to let go of it. Xinni is going to teach me Korean Language when we meet nxt week. :) So...hahha...nevermind about this!

We then headed to Marina Square for lunch. Aft looking at the menu and checking out the prices, we decided to settle down at Changing Appetite. Bihui and I were the 1st time to try out. And the 3 of us love the last dish very much. We have Choc chips ice-cream & chocolate cream brownie for the dessert:

We then walked to Suntec City for the movie - 10,000BC. I remembered bro said he wants to watch when we're at home watching the trailer. Ha...http://www.10000bcmovie.com/

To my dear readers, especially my dear friend currently in UK, NZ, KL, Klang, ...lolx...I may not be diligent in blogging, and I will continue this at my own will. Haha...well, laziness is another factor, but not the main factor. Just manage to find my hp cable out and transfer my pictures to the laptop. I was thinking should I blog the meet-ups with my dearie primary school friends....which took place before and during the CNY. And the decision is NO, bec it's really far too overdue, and there're nth much interesting and too many... However, I would just briefly post some pictures for viewing. Felt very blissed with these people around me. And I met another new friend, not from the same school, but a very good person to talk to. I feel so glad and fortunate to have these friends who would try their very best to keep me happy, and encourage me whenever I feel down. Thank you, dudes!

The HK Kim Gary Restaurant at Jusco,Bt Tinggi, Klang. Went there twice, once with CK, WT and the other with dad and mum.

I think the food it's just so-so. Brother and father don't like it at all. But it's always full with customers. Wonder why...Hm, maybe bec of ...

That's it!

Saw a very interesting signboard in Jusco.... What does it mean? haha....lol....

Ans: Do not lean on the glass behind the bench.

Do you get it correct?

I'm at Red Oven again...for my second sister's return.

This is ..erm, Grilled salmon suasages....served with 2 whipped potatoes and salad...! Gorgeous!

The Cinema finally on it's business during CNY. Had been waited to for it to open since Christmas last year, but according to my bro, he said they have some management problems...and that's why they delayed.

At DOME...brother signed a membership card...as he simply loves to hang out there and read his newspapers and magazines.

OK now, let's focus on today first, as I put the date for TODAY! I almost forget...Sometime, meeting my eldest sister may be stressful, as she always love to go for buffet, and at the same time vents her frustration both from family, work to me which irritates me and kills my appetite and mood at times. I seriously think she should stop eating unlimited-ly at her age now( for yr info, our age gap is very wide). But today she chose to eat at a restuarant instead, and followed her to buy milk bottle and pacifire for the baby Yanzhi. And, I'm glad that it turned out quite blissful this time. She seemed very tired and speak very softly due to her pregancy. Yes, she finally pregnant again:)

Then, met Jefferson and May at Plaza Singapura for dinner and movie. We watched....

Yes. Personally, I think the story is hearwarming:)
The story is abt a boy named Angus finds a mysterious object from the beach and bring it home. He then realised that this object is an egg of a creature. Angus named it Crusoe. With the help of his sister and the handiman, he is raising the creature up secretly, protecting it whenever he could.

Jefferson said this movie reminds him of E.T. Haha...:)

As we walked to the bus stop, May thought that I teared in the theatre. Well, half correct. My eyes got wet but I manage to pull it back. Haha...I mean it's quite touching, especially the conver between the father and son before he left to the battlefield, but eventually never came back.

After movie Jeff wanted to send the 2 of us back at the bus stop. But in the end, he thought I abroaded the crowded 190 which I eventually gave up broading and waited for another bus. May then told him her bus was at the other side of the road.....lolx...and convinced Jeff not to wait for her bus to come. So, in the end Jeff was the 1st to leave. He was quite shock when he saw me appeared beside May. Hahah.....

See you guys on Sunday at Expo! Hopefully I can make it...I enjoy the outing with you guys!

明天你就满12个月了……你不但越来越懂事，还懂事得叫人既喜又惊，喜因为懂事的你最讨人欢心，惊也因为懂事的你太会捉拿大人心，从而藉机闹情绪哭翻天……叫我们无法不心惊胆跳日后如何引导你。

或许简单的希望，对你已是项无形的枷锁……未来实在有太多未知数了，我无法确保将来如何，更不敢担保我的呵护是否你所需，我的能力是否能让你快乐无忧，请恕我只是一个卑微的人。

然，我确定从你降临这世间的刹那，你的一举一动一颦一笑，你赐予我们的欢笑与泪水都是最真实的……我唯一能做的就是坚持把它记录下来，因为我相信这是赋予你成长的最佳礼物！

Love you always!

JAE 2008

2008-01-26T18:46:00.000-08:00

Date: 25th Jan 2008
Event: JAE (Joint Admission Excersice)
Venue: NP Convention Centre
Time: 8.30am - 5.30pm
Mood: Happy, but dull and lethagic later
Overall: Satisfactory

A day before, CY called me to help-up for the event mentioned above, as they were really lack of helpers. Those juniors were either busy with their assignments or having lessons during that period. I promised to help as long as I am in S'pore and free. Met Huijun to have a breakfast before her duty begin, but in the end bec i was 20 min late, she just grabed a quick bite and headed to Convention Centre. Opps....so sorry. Didn't really slept well the night before, I was tossing and turning, so i read those books that i bought from CaoGen. Couldn't really go to bed until it was about 4am! I myself also don;t know why i am so energetic.

After "ha-la-ing" with Cy laoshi and some lecturers of HMS, i proceeded to get the thing i want. (My duty begins at 11.30am. While HJ left after 11.3oam, we wished we were in the same duty shift though) I promised HJ to come back early as she needs to rush off for driving lesson.

The crowds gradually flow in in the afternoon. And I spoke to some of them. Many were attracted by the new course, Buisiness and Social Enterpirce as it's a brand new course and hence there isn't any COP yet. So, it's far less stressful as compared to others. I've been repeating 101 times what this course's about.

Managed to meet some new friends from other courses and from DAE duty staff and helpers, namely Dawn and Jon. They praised me for my language proficiency in both languages, as I helped them to finish what they want to say when they were stuck. Haha...I don;t really think I am that good in both languages but nonetheless, this brighten up my day! And oh, speaking of new lecturers I've met, Niqing laoshi and Mr. Lee Kow Fong. These two lecturers never taught me before, but they are nice people to be with. =D And not forgetting Mr Tan from Psychology and Comm. Service. HJ and I think that he's nice and sincere, always smile and noded his head when we talked. =D Felt so great to work with them.

And...opps, i mixed up with Ms C and Ms P who are both from ECH again. Sorry...Sigh, it's kinda...embarrassed! But they looked alike la! I know they are not twin sisters, but they looked like one to me. They are about the same height also...I am really sorry, and now I know how to differentiate them. haha...! and I swear I won't called the wrong person now.

Didn't manage to take any pictures though...were too busy for that. It's been a long day for me, and yet, happy and satisfied.

Been to *scape to support yaoyao, jessica and weiting with Huijun...

Hm...from these photos, can see that these juniors were quite lethargic. Nonetheless, they still put on they fatigue smile on their face. You may ask, why are they so tired? - Yes, they had spent nights doing the samples of recyclable products... Didn;t know they are so good at sewing! A big wow! They'd impressed me. Apart from these, they still gotto rushed for assignments from school, presentation etc... Weiting told me that she has not been sleeping for past 5 days!!

This is their booth cloth.
Yaoyao...

Weiting....

I did one DIY hp pouch aft watching the ARTivate plays. Thanks for Weiting and Jessica, for reserving special buttons for my pouch's decoration. Oh ya, speaking of the play, i do amazed by the stage decoration, it's merely paper boxes... including the other props. Cool... I've watched 2 altogether, namely, "Selfish". This is one of the scene...
And, "Plasti-City Kills the Cat". Look at this picture- from the character's appearance, and body gesture...you can tell it's a comedy play. Wherelse the previos one is more heavy and somber. Hm..., I personally like the ligten one. :)

This is the stage for second play's ornament. Do you see radio, tv, computer,air-con, air refresher-SM001? The pond...cool!

Went to KL with mummy and Aunt B.Y. to shop for CNY clothes...but in the end of the whole afternoon, i bought nothing for myself.

A few days later, followed ZhauYing, Siok Yin and her 2 coursemates to Jenjarom. Wanted to look for Aiyan as she's staying there, but she was at somewhere else that day. So we proceeded to Dong Chan Shi (东蝉寺), the second largest temple of the whole M'sia.

Afterthat, we had steamboat for dinner. Zhau Ying been there several times with her bf, had TomYam Soup everytime without fail, but i hardly bare with spiciness! My whole tougue was burning! haha...It was the place where Aiyan celebrated her birthday too...I wasn't there...

In the evening, we proceeded to Bukit Tinggi for tang yuan, but the shop was close, so we decidid to eat something cold. So here's it - Low Fat / 0 Fat Ice-cream at 100 Yen. And yes, it's a Japanese Shop. All goods are imported from Japan. It's like Daiso in S'pore. Everything sold there at RM4.90.

Zy at 100 Yen.

We bought 2 bowls of low fat ice-cream and share among ourselves. ZY's treat:

This is the Chocolate Ice-cream with choc chips (my choice!haha...thanks, ZY!)

And this is ....Nuts icecream...
Our tummies were quite full, yet, we weren't satisfied as we couldn't manage to eat tang yuan....so we went to Port Klang for that, all the way from Bukit Tinngi. Siok yin has been a good driver that day. Her driving skill is great, though terrified us sometimes. :P.

It's been wonderful going out with my primary friends. I knew Siok yin since kindergarten...

2007，悲喜交集

2007-12-31T07:51:00.000-08:00

小心翼翼地启开记忆的抽屉，我一路的往里掏，掏出了欢笑、掏出了泪水、掏出了甜酸苦辣。

对于过去，我们无能为力，至于将来，我们无法预知，只有现在，我们需要在对的时间做对的事。

2007，悲喜交集

这一年，有喜有悲，有欢笑，亦有泪水。

年底倒数，墙上的日历一页撕了一页，新的一年已在眼前，点滴回忆让感触泉涌上心头。

回眸，叫人欢欣，更叫人心酸。

想起当时，我还沉溺在悲欢离合的情绪中，桌上的日历已经更换成新的一个，我就在悲伤的气氛里茫然的迎接2007年的到来，二月份的那一页，写着“原谅是一种力量”，提笔写下这句子的时候，一切都已成烟。

终于还是走过来了，直挺挺的，往有阳光的方向傲然前行，太多的平路会让人失去生命力，只有逆境可以激发人性最原始的韧度，从而散发光彩。或许我是一只习惯于被人养在鱼缸里的大鱼，不求飞黄腾达，只求生活踏实，外头的世界色彩斑斓，我却眷恋于平静的小天地。

生活有太多的起伏，我只想记住那一桩桩的美好。依稀记得那个午后，在医院碰见多年不见的朋友，他正当实习医生。K搬了新家，回家的路不再遥远。生日会上叙旧久违的小学朋友们，各个正为final year拼搏，不久即将毕业。

身边的人平安健康，而我自己则祈求心灵平和，希望今年以一种欢欣的心情跨入2008年，这就是最大的恩典。

另外，到其他国家游学也是我梦寐以求的愿望。千载难逢的机会到神州大地去游学，除了上课，尚有机会免费游览北京、苏州、绍兴等地的名胜古迹，增广见闻。虽曾流血、流泪，历尽人生最低潮，也有欢笑享乐。2007年，确实是我收获丰富多彩的一年。

彭端淑的《为学一首示子很》里头的名句“天下事有难易乎？为之，则难者易乎矣，不为，则易者易难矣”更是我发奋图强的推动力，可见信心和毅力是相辅相成的。

过了今年的生日，但愿明“年”会更好。

Enchanted the Movie

2007-12-17T05:23:00.000-08:00

恶搞经典童话

恶搞风盛行，如今阵Disney都拿起自己开刷，《Enchanted》（《魔法奇缘》大胆的将Disney所有经典童话一网打尽，对Disney老电影如《睡美人》、《白雪公主》进行了一番恶搞讥讽。

《Enchanted》采用了动画和现实拍摄相结合的呈现方式，Disney元老级动画兼本片导演Kevin Lima苦思冥想了所有Disney的动画系列，最后才为《Enchanted》找到了合适的基调。影片前半部动画王国的戏将以电脑动画的方式呈现，而在后面公主被驱逐到真实世界后，则以真人表演呈现。
在童话的动画世界中，公主爱上了英俊潇洒的王子。王子也对公主的美丽仰慕倾心，两人爱火愈烧愈烈却引起了王子母亲----邪恶皇后的极大不满。企图控制一切的女王当然不允许自己的儿子被别的女人所占有，变态的欲望加强大的力量，其结果就是无可拂逆的征服。女王轻挥手指，公主便被驱逐出这个梦幻的童话世界，而且到了现代的都市----纽约。

现实的物欲、虚伪、浮华一拥而上的取代了童话世界的纯真。

公主在陌生的环境无比的迷茫和无助，这时一位风度翩翩的律师向她伸出了援手。公主在现实中也没有了童话的至死不渝的专情，在与律师相处中不禁对他芳心暗许。但童话的恋情在现实中是否依然能够存活？这是公主心中最大的疑问。带着这个疑惑公主开始了漫长的人间探索。而另一方面，王子也在苦苦寻找公主的踪迹。于是，童话与真实，背叛与坚持，理想与现实，真爱与浮欢交织出一段别具一格的魔法奇缘。

34岁艾美阿当丝演公主

电视演员出身的女主角艾美阿当丝(Amy Adams)，今年已经34岁，虽然年纪比起其他青春浪漫片的十几二十出头的新生代女星大，还好她的外貌不显老，演起片中从童话世界闯入现实社会的“公主”，装起嫩来还是相当可爱，她在这部首次担纲商业片“女一号”之作中的表现，毫不逊色，甚至还赢得“侏莉亚罗拨丝第二”的顶级荣誉，被看好继承侏莉亚罗拨丝“爱情喜剧女王”地位。

男主角则是曾演过《Sweet Home Alabama》的伯特列丹西 (Patrick Dempsey)，这位凭美剧《实习医生》（Grey’s Anatomy）走红的型男，在该剧中的形象完全符合女性对于完美男性的全部幻想 -----成熟、英俊、幽默、医术高超，甚至曾还被《人物》评选为全球最性感的男人第二位，之前奠定下来的好形象，难怪他会是导演心目中的“风度翩翩的律师”的首选。

至于另一位追随公主来到现代的漫画王子，则由曾演出《Hairspray》及《X战警3》的James Marsden饰演。这位王子不似童话故事里的白马王子那般英伟，反而是被捉弄的对象，而且还是一副乡巴佬进城的架势，非常搞笑。

另外，影片动画部分回归到Disney早期经典的水彩画风格，颇有些类似《Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs》，喜欢手绘动画的影迷有眼福了。同时，导演在片中还用2D动画展示童话世界，相信会让一班Disney的老影迷在这个3D动画的时代不胜唏嘘。

Anxiety

2007-12-04T17:41:00.000-08:00

My father is admitted to the hospital again!

He felt alright at first, but my brother insisted that he should stay in the hospital for a longer period for observation. My bro used to think that the doctor discharged him too early. It was a different doctor though.

So when reached, the doctor did the blood test, and concluded that my father's body is too dry (he couldn't drink too much water as his lungs would accumulate fluid) that resulted to high blood pressure. So they gave him dripping.

But afterthat, when we fetched father home, he said that he has difficulty breathing again. So we rushed him to the hospital again.

All these process gaves us a lot of troubles. I really hate the way the hospital run things. Those doctors, have low morality, no respect to the elderly! I really wish that i could complain them! Better change yr attitude or I will take action and no leave no mercy!

days in klang

2007-12-02T21:25:00.001-08:00

Hi, as many has required me to update my life here soon...Well, the reason why i had not been update since my arrival is bec:

1) Bad internet connection

- My bro uses Maxis/Telecom..., he pays RM66 per month, regardless how much he uses the line. Yet they give us this kinda service!!

2) Life as per normal

- As usual, I stay at home from day to night, doing all sorts of things that can be done at home. Eg: Playing the piano, watching tv, using this irritating internet, doing house-work, sleeping, eating soft snacks, reading newspaper & HP & the Deathly Hallow. Yup, with all these activities i can call it a day! - It has become my Mundane daily life!

Well, this is it! so far.

My dad is hospitalised this afternoon, his high blood pressure goes up though after taking his medicines. And he complained that he had difficulty in breathing.

Then this is the 1st time i get to rush out of the house since my return. My dad kept calm us down as he said he is steady, just want to go hospital just for in case his situation turned worse. My mum drove us there. My bro was away working at that point of time. Suddenly, something came accross my head: I should have learn driving! What happened if there's no one around the house? I could drive my dad to hospital, rather than to call other relatives for help. It takes time for others to arrive and take him to the hospital. Time consuming. We have 2 cars yet I cant drive at this age! - ya, what a shame. But, my dad refused for me to learn.

ugh... We'll see how. I shall not deal this with my dad at this moment. As long as my dad is happy, I can learn it later. He has discharged a day later.

Clinic + Red Camp 2007

2007-11-23T06:30:00.000-08:00

...Continue what happened after my teeth extraction.

Clinic Visiting

Well, there were times I complain to Bihui that my chest, especially my heart is choking for a second. It happened a couple of times. There was once in the morning when we were going to school together from the Boon Lay interchange, my heart choked more than 5 times! Bihui told me that sometimes she felt that way too, just that she ignored it.

Realising the seriousness (It's heart, you know??! - could be anything related to heart disease..!! or...some heart disease symptom) I decided to knock the doctor's door. Just right before my turn, a woman rushed in to the clinic and requested the doctor to help a old woman who fainted near the shops corridor.

The old lady was supported with the hands of other passer-by. She'e very skinny. By the time the doctor reached, she was sitting on a chair, and has been vomited twice. According to the aunty who sat beside me, she said that the old lady always appeared around this area. Without any identity card, it's was difficult for the receptionist of the clinic to contact her family members. She was then believe that her faintness was due to lack of glucose and energy. After I'd made my payment, was relieved to hear that they got her family member informed and they were coming down to pick her up. Someone was feeding her with a glass of milo. =)

As for my sickness, the doctor said that my heartbeat is a little fast, but blood pressure is perfect. So no need to do heart-scanning. And she belives that my heart choke (it's a vague word...yea, but things like that is really hard to explain or describe)is due to anxiety or something seriously happened/stress either in my family or school work. Hm..., perhaps I am worried about my dad..., yea, but school work..., ok leh... I mean ya la, I was stressed, but it's quite peaceful as compared to my roller coaster in my second sem of year 2! haha...The doctor later found out that I am in my final year, that's why she concluded that i might have stress out and feeling "pek-chek", so my heart would choke...

She gave me relaxing pills and told me to eat it when needed. "Nothing serious", she smiled. I looked at her with a little like "are-you-sure" expression - she continued, "you are still young, my dear. If you really want to, I can ask my nurse to help you do the scanning, but I really feel that there's no need for you to do that. Unless you are alr 50 years-old, then I'm worry for you and would insist you should go for it."

Then, I noded with a reply, "oh..." hhaha....Hopefully she's right!

________________________________________________________

Next, shall talk about the Red Camp!!

Yup, I volunteered myself when get the call from Chengyao and Mr Cheng. I was about rotting at home and was feeling delightful that finally something would keep me busy!! haha...but in the end, I feel a little tiring. Imagine you have to stand for around 3 whole hours, walking here and there at the cozy place!!

We were paiting the same thing - Panda, the mascot of HMS.

The only difference from last year's Red Camp is that they don't use the ppt that I'd made, due to time consuming. Just go directly to the demostrating and painting. In fact, I realised that this year there were more participants.

Another difference is that ...I miss the person who accompanied me in last year's Red Camp, yea,... at least would cheer me up even a crisis happened to me during that time.

Extracting Teeth!!

2007-11-20T12:02:00.000-08:00

Haven't been update for awhile...

It's been quite happening these few days to me. Let's start from last fri. In the morning, I attended my nephew, baby Shawn(3 years-old)'s graduation at his nursary- Apple Tree! hahha.... He's not very cooperative to take pics that day! My sis was dissapointed...haha...

with his friend - Hakim!

With his friend - Edison, but he's not v friendly towards him...=(

We had a seminar at Chinese High, 2pm.

I was sitting at the back, last row in LT2. I wasn't really listening, cos no.1, the speaker's talk was funny and most of the facts we've alr know. No. 2, and probably the most affectedness towards my anxious mood of the day - I was going to extract 2 teeth later in the evening!

I had my dinner and got my teeth brushed before i visit the dentist. I was moody as I was dining, it was, aft all, the last meal I could enjoy with my 2 teeth, which located at 4th place counting from the middle. Both left and right.

As my sis is a psychologist, I wanted her companionship. Thinking she could be of my help to psycho me! haha....However, the dentist didn't want her in!! urgh!! Reason: Some ppl may faint seeing blood! There was once a mother fainted when she saw the blood flow out from her daughter's mouth!(*ggg....) ok, what else I could say?

The dentist did the extraction quite skillfully, and gently. Phew! I thought I would have the tendency to scream or cry during the extraction. I even told the dentist to get prepared for my scream so that she wouldn't shocked of my reaction. (she shld know that as she has many experience to extract ppl's teeth).

But....when I reach home, and changed cotton, the anesthetic has gone slowly and i began to feel pain! It was so pain and yet there was nothing i could do! Never felt so frustrated before! I kept pulling my hair and cried. My poor sister got to bear with my grumpiness for one whole hour! Including helped me change the cotton every 10 min. Each time I saw the whole cottons were soaked with my blood and saliva, how much I wished i could have the ability to let the time runned faster! My sis let me cried with all I wanted, only comforting me for once( you call yrself a psychologist?!), saying that the blood has reduced gradually, then continued to read her newspaper! Aaarh! where got reduce??! I saw bloody cottons everytime i changed it!! (*ggggg.........)

Felt pain still, aft 30 min has passed since i reached home. Ate 2 pain killer pills. In the end I stopped crying when i felt tired. SMSed ppl and did something else to keep myself distracted from the pain!

The dentist let me keep my extracted teeth for souvenir. Till now, I still let it be stored inside the plastic bag, don't know what to do with it. It's a little bloody, felt disgusted with it. I may want to throw aft showing my dad and mum. Sorry teeth, but I really do not know what to do with you. (the dentist suggested nail polish you though...haha)

I do not want to post the pic of my extracted teeth here. Some of you may feel it's quite disgusting.
