the door handle became so cute


the ceiling also got decoration


there are even pine cones on the tree! i remeber there are two gigantic pine cones in my house, dunno how they are liao. haha think singapore dun haf this kinda thing bah. then the restaurant here wouldn't have the dish 松仁玉米.


the louge at my hall got a x'mas tree!

who posted the last comment can identify urself?

hmm guys and gals, please rem to put ur name when u post comments leh... i m not that good at guessing leh...

went to orchard again. ya there are not many places to go in singapore. to all my guy friends: forever 21 is a good place for ppl watching. every time i go there sure see some nicely dressed chio bus... today saw this gal who wore a baby pink tube outside a hot pink bikini with black lining and straps, completed with hipster pants pony tail and big looped earring. super hip hop.

somehow i m very blur today. walking in one direction then went into a shop, came out, and walked to the opposite direction. always getting mixed up. yeah wat's new right? but today is really quite bad, keep doing u-turn... probably used too much brain these days it's taking a nap now.

saw this little gal (should be a primary sch kid) whose shoe lace was stuck in the escalator at clementi station. the poor gal stood there waiting for ppl to pass so that the MRT staff would stop the escalator and free her from it. but then ppl crowded around her obstructing the way of those coming down from the escalator, the situation got a bit messy. moral of the story: always check that ur shoe lace is tied properly.

delivered bread and japanese creamy puff to E4 04-02. hmm... except blur and greedy no one else was studying. lerming, weifa, zhishen and lazy were talking rubbish and quanwei was having second serving of dinner. lazy got a whole bunch of sweets in her hands as weapon. whoever said anything she doesn't like she just threw the sweets at him then the poor guy has to pick it up and return to her after being hit. haha so was there a conclusion? M1, M2 or M3? lazy asked lerming that 如果他不吃牛肉怎么喝牛奶. ^^! 我问lazy,你不吃人肉,小时候有没有喝人奶? haha afterwards thinking about it i think i m quite crappy. probably watched too much 小新 recently.

tml have to start on fyp liao... sianz...

重见天日

8.30am in the morning, chilling wind blows at engin. such a bad omen for the paper we are going to have. some more before i woke up i dreamt that i failed fuzzy... in the dream there are two parts of the paper-fuzzy and neural, graded separately. e second part everyone got similar results but the first one i got 4 marks out of 50, and qinghui got 44. small ray got 45, when he actually did not take the module.

it turned out the paper really was a killer. at least to me, qinghui and bingjie. dunno wat the qns are talking abt lor... meaningless module, test us on maths concepts when it's not a maths module... dun really think vangladesh got teach anything useful then he set sth he never taught us in the paper... (or probably i never did know what he was teaching. only remember the 'you must appreciate the beauty of mathematics!') bingjie just threw away all his notes after e paper.

last paper of the semester! orchard here we come! haha the shopping centres all smell differently from classrooms leh... a mixed fragrance of perfumes, food, blah blah... orchard is completed with x'mas decoration liao, looking so festive!

had lunch at mushroom pot at orchard point (sorry qinghui and bingjie for the wrong direction, now i know it's not at centre point). the ribs there is super nice! it has a special kinda sauce and the meat is super tender. all of us ordered noodles. 2 beef 1 chicken and 1 mushroom soup base. all soups taste so nice it's almost heavenly! i love the soup so much, the mushroom taste blended well with e taste of the meat and it's very 鲜 and very香. the monkey head mushroom is also nice. but the 酥炸金针菇 and hotplate butter mushroom are a bit disappointing...

afterwards we went shopping... heeren->taka->wisma->far east... bought a skirt and a bag and a ring. yeah! shopping leh!!! from zara to topshop to mango, everywhere is this suit jacket designed denim or corduroy jacket in all kinds of colours. i want one so much esp one of the mango one which fits v nicely and is very comfortable and it's faded black denim with white lining... haiz... but none is below 100 bucks... i know where my first month salary is going liao...

small ray joined us for lunch and went off at 6+ for his match made date. xiuwei introduced this gal to him, whom he's watching incredibles with today. hmm... sth happening ah? adult anaconda in action! AAIA!!!

today bingjie say ppl who divorced are called widowers...

吃掉blog的bug及其它

雨后的地面湿漉漉的,反着金黄的灯光.蜗牛都爬出来晒月亮了.
"水牛儿,水牛儿,先出犄角后出头啊..."
看到这样一只懒懒的蜗牛,我动了动它的触角,它懒懒地把它缩了一缩,就若无其事地又继续晒它的月亮了.

想起昨天有个人说猫有feelers... ^^!

blogger的server里面有专吃template的bug. 为什么bug要吃bug的blog呢? must be a blur bug... 吃掉了sleepybug 的 blog...

the ten point theory and etc

dsp paper is a tedious killer. some more i was sitting directly at the direction the aircon blows, by the end of the paper i was shivering like a pathetic little leaf in the autumn wind. hands were numb, press calculator alway press wrongly.

by right should focus on comp vision now. but after two days of exams v tired... just cannot bring myself to concentrate. in the end just wasted time crapping with the rest of ppl in the classroom. lerming was talking about the ten point theory whereby all couples add up to ten points. hmm... think the guys can definitely afford to look for some twenty pointers. haha finally saw david today. not bad mah. but according to the ten point theory, he has to be out liao. so only willy is left. guofeng may well compete with him.

then we all crowded around ah fu to watch some crappy american cartoon. when it's loading there is a bear doing pumping exercise(still dun quite get it), so blur asked what is it doing. then guofeng said it needs imagination, and someone said sth else, suddenly lazy said 'it's loading mah'... diao...... ^^!

they say that there is an episode of 小新 in which lazy looks like 美伢. hmm i wanna watch it leh. somehow everybody got into v crappy mood, wat 0204 gal, and bababa all came out. '哥哥,等你哟!' but lerming refuse to give comment on how many ba lazy and blur each gets. haha coz they are both equipped with 屠龙刀today. was saying that guofeng will definitely live v long coz bad ppl all live long life. some more his lifestyle is super healthy. no oily and salty food, and always sleep a lot, no bad lifestyle habits like smoking drinking also. then lazy say there is always sth called accident. wah v 狠 leh. somehow it was concluded that all of us will go down to hell together. only quanwei will go up. not bad go to hell also got frenz to go along and chit chat with. quanwei must be v lonely up there. coz zhishen and weifa (not present today) would also go with us. then guofeng say that poor quanwei, up there only got 天使的脸孔,下面才有魔鬼的身材. haha tt's a nice one.

as we left, i refused to go from dsi that path coz it's v dark. after that paper guofeng also refused to go that path coz according to him he's scared of me. then we were saying the mac manager will come out to protect him. she would pose as 动感超人, and use 动感汉堡包 as weapon. then the bei bei will come out with his sweets and fight with her while me and guofeng watch on. everyone is getting the 小新 bug.

blur and me turned to walk back, and we were saying that everybody is getting v cocky. according to blur that ppl with name kok sth are all v cock. so we should all be renamed. 李国珊, 王国怡, 胡国冰(yucks), 还有国明,国发, 国威,国申... ahhh... siao liao.

as we reached the bus stop there is this 秃顶的bei bei, think he uses the hair at the side to cover the back. then somehow it came loose, and there is 一片乱乱的头发 standing beside his left ear. it looks very comical. blur and me quickly siam. scared later he approach us with some sweets. haha... but i never understood why those ppl wanna attemp covering their balding patch with long hair. it often falls down and it's really unsightly. just cut it short or shave it off lah.

hmm... think i m supposed to study for comp vision...


mugging hard

losers' day parade

had digi comm paper today. it's not a difficult paper but i didn't do well. feeling damn demoralised now. read notes, did past yr papers, all similar questions, but still... can't quite call it careless mistakes. probably my concept is still messy in th end. well, maybe i m not that smart after all.

it's true that i dun haf a lot of time to study coz my papers are v crammed. but that sounds like a weak excuse. as i m studying with everybody, i constantly have the feeling that i m one beat behind. when i m doing comp vision they are doing fuzzy, when i start on fuzzy they already started on digi comm and finally when i m on digi comm they've done sth else. now tml i m going to have dsp paper and my understanding of it is still so lousy, need guofeng to explain it to me. it's never a discussion, coz it's always a one way of information flowing-ppl teaching me. feel kinda low.

somehow my self esteem is never very high, it hangs on a thin line and i need constant assurance from external to sustain, be it from other ppl or that i did sth well. every time sth goes wrong then my self esteem goes on a skiing trip. some ppl say it's because my expectation is too high. but on the other hand, having low expectation is equal to admit i m incapable isn't it? i kinda wish now that i could find a corner to hide myself and never come out again until everybody forgets about me.

what's wrong with me?

小朋友...

小新又在讲话了...

some thoughts

i m thinking that the relationship between intelligence and effort is probably not a summation but a multiplacation. when the stuff we are learning gets too complicated, the lack of either one of them will become a limiting factor... 所以,古人说勤能补拙是不对的.


mugger14


zhishen sleeping, captured by lerming. behind him is mugger13. but dun haf his photo now.


zhishen's scribble, just look at how messy it is.

digi comm tml

mugging party became digi comm party. coz most of the muggers present today are taking digi comm, frequently there is heated discussion over part year questions and blah blah.

got a feeling that tml afterthe paper i m going to be very tired... actually i m very tired now. so got no energy to write...

killed by digi comm

blog was down since the day before yesterday. there is database corruption in the server. dug out the old template from my temporary internet files and repaired it.

today i m very hardworking but not v productive... rarely so stressed at this stage of exam. kinda demoralised. digi comm is really jialat... considering the day after it is dsp paper, and i haven't done any past year paper on that yet. haiz... K.O.!!!

my resident assistant sent an email say in old kent ridge and PGP got a lot of ppl just go out of room for 5 to 10min, then laptop and hp and even clothes and textbooks got stolen! siao... those ppl too stressed during exam period issit? heard from blur too that EA got peeping tom cases again. probably they must do sth stimulating to release the stress.

my good from raymond and raymond are discussing on msn to set up a fund for my funeral liao... i m so touched! they are even arranging to let qinghui keep a copy of the exam paper to burn for me at the funeral...

11th day of mugging

today's blog starts at dinner. guofeng and quanwei went to pack macdonald's for us. they took so long i was thinking that if we ordered pizza it would have arrived already. weifa's hypothesis is that they got K.O. on the way by the strange lao bei bei yesterday and the lao bei bei would take the macdonald's and come look for us... eeeeeek...

dinner is an ever so relaxing time. it is usually longer than lunch and everyone is in a more crappy mood after a long day of studying. today's topic started from zhi shen bit his own tongue -> ppl will die if the tongue is cut off -> some girlfriend bit off boyfriend's tongue -> some gal bit off sth else from the guy -> high statistics of a certain kinda accident involving the break off of a guy's some body part during a heavy exercise that involve the collaboration of two people -> lerming's suggestion that this kinda exericse is better carried out in the pool -> public pool? -> a person with fat tummy will float in the pool with his heads and limbs underwater but tummy above water and looks like an island -> that certain exercise is best carried out in reverse bungie jumping in singapore suggested by lerming again......

zhi shen picked up a sesame from the table, and said '下次你去E3的classroom被lock在外面,就拿这粒芝麻去开门,芝麻开门.' *sweat...*

guofeng is the MMSS (macdonal's manager sha shou). hahahaha she asked him if he's still coming tml.

2 down 3 more to go

had second paper today. went into the exam hall with a slight fever. had to pop half a pill of panadol, luckily i didn't feel drowsy after taking it.

there was this 奇怪的老beibei in the classroom we were studying in. he came in smiled and nodded to dunno who while nobody knows him. then he sat beside me and started to study. i was coughing and sneezing and he offered me vitamin candy... diao... someone left her pink wallet in the classroom, inside got 100 bucks and a few cashcards, and her ez-link, matric card. later got this guy who came in and claimed it (probalby her friend or brother or sth), then the uncle suddenly said 'the wallet looks like a girl's wallet but he seeme to be a guy leh'. the way he says it is like v weird... then lazy sms me '好可怕的老beibei...' hmm probably we are stereotyping but the way he behaves is not so normal wat... hey but i refuse to be branded the bei bei killer!!! nothing to do with me!

olinda is out. eeek, how come sylvester sang so badly yesterday still could go to final... messaged gh and she said she didn't vote a lot, just 10 votes... diao... haha so she's one of those ah lians lah... besides the looks, olinda is actually very good in singing... haiz... after all it's an 'idol' show.

now need to clear mental space for digi comm and dsp... seems like time is really tight...

Thursday, November 18, 2004


maybe she's mentally sick? haha


somebody needs to take medicine. hmm... tot i m the one sick?

2nd paper tml

brought nov edition of herworld magazine to school and everybody got a bit caught up with the 'free willy' article. apparently the guys are greatly traumatized. haha... but i found it v comical, esp the tied to a helium balloon one. but the one flushed down toilet, soaked for 24hrs and attached back that one is quite disgusting. it became the topic of the day. wat 太监, 屠龙刀 everything all came out. lazy became the anaconda slayer. hahahaha...

watched singapore idol online, the transmission is v bad today, missed the last two songs. sylvester did quite badly today and ken lim was quite mean with his comments... about sylvester only needs to stand there and smile and hopes all the ah bengs and ah lians will vote for him... wahhh... super direct...

super fuzzified with all the fuzzy and neural network. feeling a bit hot, took temperature just now, 37.2 degrees. not high fever but hotter than my usual temperature. should sleep early tonight.

6th day of mugging

6th day into revision. losing steam losing stamina and losing concentration. coming back from school earlier day by day.

having intense treatment for my sore throat. drank 3 bags of 板蓝根(a kinda chinese herb for flu) today, will drink another 2 later. and kept popping vitamin c pills into my mouth. cannot afford to really fall sick at this moment.

there was this uncle in the classroom today. he sat there reading a set of notes with a highlighter in his hand. hmm... 活到老学到老? and got this guy who came into the classroom with a pillow?!?! (we peeped at his notes, it's CE level 6000 module. but he looks more like a yr1 student leh.) haha are ppl getting crazy or issit we are getting crazy?

i've got a husky new voice today.

sunday morning kick boxing

din hear my 3 alarm clock ringing at 9am but miraculously woke up by myself at 9.30pm. yawnz... kickboxing at 11am.

lazy and i were like two dead fish going out. there are so many ppl outside... today is hari raya. tml is public holiday... haiz... and we are still in mugging mode.

jet jet cross, hook, upper cut, outer block, inner block, thrust to the back!

so tired... but at least my headache is gone. =)

headache

woke up at 6am with a splitting headache on the right side of the skull. had to get up and take panadol. slept till 10.30am and the headache is still there, just a little bit better. i do occasionally have headaches but it's rarely so serious. or never been so serious as i remember. can't quite concentrate the whole day. effeciency is not v high. actually i also dunno why coz i do sleep a lot... and this kinda headache is like little drills drilling into my head. it occurs irregularly. so just when i tot it's gone, suddenly it drills for a second. totally caught off guard and is really horrible...

headache headache go away...

sharks' tale

went to watch sharks' tale today with 2 raymonds, 1 guofeng, 1 zhiwei and 1 lijie. first time that went to watch movie so close to exam. but that's a really good stress releasing show. it's so cute and funny. 'i m sebastine, the whale washing dophine!' 'hey boss, what are you doing a the pizza joint?' compared to finding nemo which is also an underwater story, it's more on the corny side of funny and the drawings are not as cute. but really not bad lah. small ray can't stop at laughing about the scene where leni accidentally swallowed oscar and wanted to puke.

after the show it was already 9.30pm and they wanted to find a place to sit down coz going home then was a bit 扫兴. after trying to decide where to go and wandering around we finally ended up the macdonald's at centre point. talked rubbish until 11pm. small ray was saying the big spoon in macflurry is attached to the machine and used to stir the ice-cream and oreo together. it sounds logical but since it comes from him i m still deciding whether i should believe him or not. and they were asking what is the difference between a G-string and a thong and i drew an illustration on the back of the mac paper. but there was this question asked 'why is a G-string called a G-string?' haha i came out with some crappy ans about the shape of the capital letter G viewed in 3D. apparently it's too crappy and corny to be true. here i found this link which offered some explanation. http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20030515.html

on my way back on the train i saw this old lady sitting there. she was wearing a pair of very interesting shoes. it's black leather, the cutting is below ankle and the top was a bit gathered. the interesting part is that the tips are v pointed and very 翘. with the kitten heel it has, it looks like those shoes that witches wear in the cartoons. seems as if some magic will be performed if she click the heels together. and she matched it with a brown-blue-yellow coloured long skirt. very bohemian style. completed with gold looped earrings. wahhh...

hehe... looking at ppl's footwear in the train is one hobby of mine i guess. by looking at the footwear and the bottom they used to match it i make guesses about the person's character. it's actually quite interesting. next time when u are bored taking a train alone, can try it.

and i saw this gal whose skirt was so short she had to hold it down with both her hands when she walks, to prevent it from sliding up. haha...

notic in the pentry. click on the picture to view.


a notice in my pentry. if you started laughing, it's normal. if u are wondering what's wrong with it, it's time that you reflect what have you been doing during ur secondary school chinese lessons.

volumn up

nuscast always got problem during weekends and public holidays. and today is no exception, just when we wanted to watch singapore idol...

went back hall at 9pm coz blur wanted to go back do laundry and my eyes were hurting really badly from the bad lighting outside lt6. the lounge at my hall is all packed, there is only one seat left when i got back, and taufic is singing his first song. today's gener is asian pop. hmm... let me stay and watch it.

there were this group of gals from dunno where sitting in front, speaking a language i dun understand and they are really loud, some more dun even stop talking when the idols are singing. the volumn of the tv is not v loud. after a while i couldn't take it any more so went in front during the commercial break to tune up the volumn. as i went back to my seat, this aunty sitting in front of me (i also dunno how come there is an aunty there) turned back and said to me 'we've been waiting for someone to turn it up, it's so disturbing here with all the talking... thank you!' wahh... seems like i did sth good ah? but then... why can't she just go and turn up the volumn?

missed the first half of ths how. heard olinda wore cheongsam... haha... wanna see leh... blur was saying she must have looked like a 肉粽. dephne sucks big time singing chinese songs. lousy pronounciation and lousy expression of the song. sylvester sang jay chow's 安静. that's a good choice and really suits him. haha somehow i feel he's more suitable singing chinese songs... he singing english songs feels like he went to wrong place. taufic is good leh...

ok. shall stop here and went back to fuzzy...

mugging continues

yawnz... today is public holiday but we are all in school mugging. the benches outside lt6 are all occupied.

canteen is not open today, the only places that have food in nus are mac and pgp(which is too far away). when i went to mac at 1pm, the queue is overflowing until outside the gate. i think can only see this kinda situation when ppl are queuing for hello kitty. waited till 2pm and went to try again, the queues are just a little little bit shorter. mac is v smart to open a branch in nus, must be earning a lot of money.

hmm now even the dustbin outside lt6 is also overflowing...

mug mug mug!

mugging is a lifestyle

mugging is a lifestyle just like crazy is a state of mind. hahahaha...

mugging in sch till late at night has officially started for this sem. joined lazy and all to study till almost 11pm. got chased out of the classroom coz tml is deepavali and they are locking the rooms up early. hmm... to think abt it the indians and muslims are quite poor thing. having festive season but exam is coming...

somehow i m more productive at night. in the afternoon studying all turned into chit chat, esp with guofeng and raymond them around. today somehow the topic maneuvered from shape of butt to toilet bowl inventions to islamic law. roger has come out with a very interesting business idea of inventing a toilet bowl with not only water pipes for cleaning but also a brush for scrubbing, completed with foot rest for those who wanna squart. diao... hahahaha... just imagine it... and what portable foldable, inflated, attached to the butt and all sorts of toilet seat cover designs all came out... ya hor, only if we are tested on this in the exam...

went to amore today. went off earlier alone, and met huiwen on the way. it's been quite long since i last saw or heard from her. it took me a few seconds to recognize her. at first i tot she was some office lady coz she dressed up quite smartly. mint coloured cardigan, black pants and a nice handbag. haha u see the contrast of a medicine gal and an engin gal. i was clad in my no-shape t shirt and jeans, track shoes, carrying an oversize backpack which made me look like a tortoise. i really wonder how can she still manage to look so fresh and amazing after an 10 hour day of work, juggling the heavy work load of medical studies, a relationship, other commitments and various activities like shopping at the same time while still don't look tired at all. in fact she looks radiant. while i m having dark circles, pimple breakout and an overall dull and uneven complexion. hmm... probably i stared at computer screen too much?

well... think i need more exercise anyway. today's kardio sculpt lesson is quite tiring, but felt quite refreshed after it. EXERCISE!

last HR lesson

today just had the last HR lesson. now i m typing this in E2 computer lab. haha today truly had some good laugh. the presentations ar all so funny. somehow the groups all focused on the topic of gender issue. from male discrimination to sexual harrassment in workplace to homosexuality. hmm till today then i know i've been subjected to emotional abuse for a long term already. haha... from the dirty jokes of big ray to ivan's underwear flashing habit... there are not many decent guys around leh...

chey and right now guofeng is sitting beside me laughing at my previous post! baka!!!!!!! somehow there are so many 377 & 377A acts going on around here... haiz... ivan is clearly coming out of the closet, with alternating partners of bingjie and qinghui. small ray is sold by big ray and ivan and obviously it is legal in singapore. hahahaha...

let in snow, let it snow, let it snow...

in bejing, the approaching steps of winter must already be audible. how i miss the coldness, the chilling air that makes me instantly refreshed, the grey gloomy sky and the occasionally warm orangy sunshine. not mentioning when it snows, the snow flakes tumbling down like little white angels, you can almost hear their laughter. and they stay on ur hair, ur shoulder, ur sleeves for a short while before disappear. when it gets thick on the ground, it gives a little screechy sound as u walk. it was my favourite pass time to find virgin snow that nobody stepped on yet and leave my footprints on it.

i want a long leather overcoat, and knee length boots and clothes that are nicely layered. i miss the wool scarf i knitted myself last winter... it was so warm... i miss home...

生活是个长镜头,从另外一边看看自己

远远地看电视里别人的生活,都觉得很美,感动得一把鼻涕一把泪.倒不如,退开一步,换一个角度看看自己,感觉可能也不错.

一个很美的原创童话

http://www.fairydream.net/cgi-bin/luntan/topic.cgi?forum=1&topic=6096&show=25

兔子等着瞧

这个好像是以前小学的时候电视上演的苏联的动画片吧.记得那时所有人说等着瞧的时候必要在前面加上一个兔子.连我老妈都被传染了.

还记得有一次美术课老师让交一个手工作业,我在妈妈的帮助下用橡皮泥捏了一只那个动画片里的狼.穿着粉色的背心,还有喇叭裤.没有黑色的橡皮泥了所以捏了一只白眼狼.后来在客厅的柜子里放了好久.不知道是什么时候不见的.可能是搬家的时候被老爸扔掉了吧.好可惜.

作家简介:贝阿丽特·白克(1914~)是以优美的童话著称的法国女作家。出生在瑞士,父亲是比利时作家,母亲是爱尔兰人。她教过书,当过法国大作家纪德的秘书。她开始文学生涯的第一部作品,是于1948年出版的自传体小说《巴尔尼》。她后来写的作品更富于浪漫色彩,其中《莱昂·莫兰教士》获得法国最重要的文学奖——龚古尔文学奖。她的童话集《给幸运儿讲的故事》是她最优秀的作品之一。

大熊星牵着她的女儿小熊星从天上降落下来,她们在天宫里实在太饿啦。大熊星想,在地球上也许能找到点什么东西充饥。

她们降落在一座城市。大熊星走进一家最漂亮的食品杂货店,要伙计每样食品给她来一公斤。她对老板说:
“我身上没带钱,可我答应你,在我回到天上以后,我扔下来的第一个金币——一颗美丽的流星,一定属于你。”

老板听了,恼怒地把大熊星赶了出去。

小熊星站在街上等她的妈妈,当她瞧见妈妈空着手走回来的时候,就抱着妈妈的腿喊道:“饿!妈妈,我饿!我饿!我饿!”

妈妈也饿着呢。她猛吸一口气,把女儿背在背上,往森林走去。

大熊星背着女儿来到了森林。她们身上的毛皮闪闪发光,棕熊们一眼就认出她们了。可是棕熊对她们很冷淡,不肯把自己的食物拿给她们吃。

“你们还是去找北极熊吧!它们也许能给你们点什么。”棕熊们说。

大熊星和她的女儿游过北冰洋,来到北极。母女俩找到了白熊。白熊得知她们的来意,不冷不热地说:“表姐,您如果想吃东西,去海里捞鱼就成了。”

可是大熊星不会捞鱼。小熊星哭了,眼泪流下来很快就成了冰。她轻声叫着:“饿呀!妈妈!”

大熊星出于对女儿的疼爱,作了很大努力,终于摸索出了打鱼的办法。时间一长,总算有了收获,她甚至打到了一些鳕鱼。小熊星一边吃着鳕鱼,一边叫道:
“再来点,妈妈!再来点!再来点!”

大熊星越来越善于打鱼了。她甚至还储存了一些冻鱼,以便带到天上去。她决定在下一次月亮改变位置的时候带女儿回家。这天,女儿去找小北极熊玩了,她在小海湾里打鱼。突然,她听见一阵脚步声,一个猎人正朝她直扑过来。

大熊星很害怕,一边跑一边喊:“我不是普通的熊,当心点,我是大熊星!”

本来大熊星是可以飞回天上去的。但是她的女儿还留在岸边,正和北极熊玩儿呢。她想,自己不在,猎人一定会找到女儿小熊星,把她杀掉的。她一边跑。一边叫:“小熊,小熊呀!”

大熊星没有听到女儿的回答,她停下来,转身对猎人说:
“我不想抵抗了,我准备让你杀死。你可以得到我的金毛皮,你会因此变成富翁。我也不想伤害你,只是你得答应我,不要伤害我女儿,请你喂养她保护她,直到她长大。”

“只要能得到你的皮,这一点小事有什么办不到!”猎人说罢,抽出刀朝大熊星的前胸刺去。可是,刀口在她的金毛皮上滑来滑去,并且冒着火星。最后,他终于把刀刺进了大熊星的心口。大熊星扑倒在地上。

猎人收拾起了刀,就去找小熊星了。他在雪地上找到了小熊星。他发现小熊星是那么年轻漂亮,不禁自言自语道:“上帝啊!我不费一点力气就能杀掉她。哎呀!就这么办吧!这比对付一只小狗还容易呢!”

猎人把自己对大熊星的保证抛在脑后了。

猎人从袋里取出一片鳕鱼干,冲小熊星喊道:“喂,小熊星!快来吃顶顶好吃的肉。你妈妈让我给你拿来的。”

小熊星欢叫着向他跑了过去。可是她看见了猎人手上拿着发亮的钢刀,顿时吓得惊叫了起来。
倒在雪地上的大熊星,渐渐苏醒过来。她活了几千年,是不会那么容易死掉的。她顺着女儿的叫声到了猎人身后,只一掌就把猎人打倒了。她跑到冷藏库里取出了冻鱼,牵着小熊星的手,呼地一下跳到天上去了。

猎人恢复力气后,拖着沉重的腿回到村里。他对别人说他曾和大熊星厮打过,可是,人们都大笑起来,说他喝多了酒说胡话。他的伤口上没有牙齿印,也没有爪子印,准是冻伤的。猎人除了被人嘲笑,还不得不去请巫师治伤,而且一个冬天都不能走路。

至于大熊星和小熊星呢?她们的冻鱼可能还没有吃完,因为自那以后,她们再也没有从天上下来过了。

月亮鱼

who is charlie's angels'boss? Answer in 5 seconds.

In less than two weeks time, exam will start. Today big ray organized a pre-mugging-for-exam outing. The turn up rate is not very good though, people get caught up in last minute stuff, be it meeting with 'CEO', busy with projects or celebrate birthdays with other friends. (hmpf, apparently the other group is more attracting with the number of gals present. Ya ya... I know, the quality there is better also lah... nothing lah, never said I m attractive mah... chey... =p)

After idling around engine for a long while we finally decided to go millennium walk. Brain was driving a pick up and I got to sit in front! But qh, big ray and guofeng dumped their bags and laptops with me. By the time we reached, my feet were numb already. After walking to and fro for several times, finally decided dinner would be at moonfish, or the formal spageddies, coz it is having 50% off promotion for UOB credit and debit card users. Always thought moonfish is a strange name. checked online dictionary, the definition is as follows:

any of several silvery marine fishes with very flat bodies, or, large elliptical brightly colored deep-sea fish of Atlantic and Pacific and Mediterranean. And it looks like this:




it reminds me of many years ago when we just started learning English, one of my friends translated the moonlight into the word 月亮灯. We had a good laugh then but it’s actually quite cute and innovative. 月亮在天上,就像一盏明亮的灯. My friend promised he would make me one such light. I never got my present, but the word remained in my mind till now. So when I first saw the name moonfish I got a very romantic picture of it. Silvery small fish swimming in the bright moonriver in the sky. 大熊星 and 小熊星 (Ursa Major, Ursa Minor) catch those fish in the river, like the story I read when I was a little kid. (posted in the next post.) never did I suspect that moonfish got its name because its shape looks like a full moon... diao... ^^!

ok back to dinner. Ate mushroom soup for starter, main course is tenderloin steak and crayfish on a bed of spaghetti aglio olio. Followed by a cup of hot tea with a slice of tiramisu for desert. The soup is very good and the main course also nice. The tea is very fragrant but tiramisu a bit disappointing. Overall, the dinner is really not bad, especially for only half the usual price. Heehee. Hmm and apparently today I was the one who ate fastest...

Hmm today I was criticized that I m not demure, not cute, and not 随和, which means that I am not likable. Well… if my temper is affecting friends around me, then probably I should refrain it. (not that I don't consider other people's feeling, but when I get emotional, I just can't think logically. It boils down to still need to have more self control.) but if saying should change myself to become more popular, never in my life I considered it necessary. I always think that if a person would like me, just like me for who I am, no point changing myself just to suit another person's preference.

Brian and big ray were saying that my future boyfriend will get hell, coz I m fierce and hard to please. But guofeng thinks that when I really like someone I will be opposite of now, as in will be agreeable to him, not doing things he doesn't like blah blah... well, I think it depends on how much I like the person and depends on which stage the relationship is at. Maybe it's partly true. But some fundamental things will not change, esp in the long run. It's actually quite interesting coz I do see some of my girl friends who have a lot of character fell for control freak guys and willingly change their lifestyle for them. An ideal relationship, I feel, should be never expecting the other person to change but take the initiative to adjust own lifestyle to suit the other person. Haha... but I m no love saint, I believe as time goes, I will just go back to being myself more or less.

That day blur sent me this relationship style test. ppl who tried all think it's quite accurate. Anyone interested can go and try:

Well let me end it with the joke of the day: As we launched into our favourite post dinner activity-chit chat, somebody suddenly mentioned charlie's angels. And big ray asked who is charlie's angels' boss ah? After a while he realized himself that it is Charlie! So did u get it correct?


on the train

on the train back, there was a man a few metres away who was either sick or drunk big time that he puked a big pool of vomit between his feet and sat there looking knocked out. no commuters went to ask how he is and everybody around him just siam. the whole cabin stunk.

after a few stops a MRT staff got on the train and covered the vomit with some newspaper. she merely asked the man to move to the side without bothering about him much more than that. and got off the next stop after she's done her job of laying newspaper.

well i probably don't have the right to blame other people from being cold-hearted coz i never did anything as well. it's reasonable that he might be drunk and bothering with him might get the helper into trouble coz u never know what a drunk is capable of. frankly speaking i also dunno which number to call for such things happening on a train. never did i know where the mrt staff are stationed. but to imagine that he is really sick and it's an emergency case, e consequence could be quite bad if no one at all bothers to ask how he is. hmm... dunno leh... without knowing if he's drunk or sick (actually there is no smell of alcohol but hard to say lah), how many ppl would go and offer help instead of standing clear and watching?

let there be light

half an hour ago, i plugged in my video cam for charging and with one spark, the whole room went dark. fan stopped turning. ahhhh... not this, at 3.30am in the morning!

experienced this once before when i was staying in EA. apparently the power system in these two buildings are not that stable. but at least now i know what i should do. the power box is just outside the door but it's very high up so i had to climb up a chair. was thinking it would be easy coz i know exactly which switch to pull. but what caught me there was... i can't open the damn box! it's not locked and the sides are not stuck together (i used a screw driver to poke around), but i just can't get it open!!! and my resident assistant next door is apparently soundly asleep. almost called the campus security to ask them how to open the box when this indian gal staying on the other side of the cluster came over to throw rubbish (ya the rubbish bin locates directly outside my room). she kindly offered to call her boyfriend to come up and help. after a few min, this very tall guy (i think must got 1.8m) turned up. he went up the chair, played around with the thing for a while and pushed this black plastic rectangular thingee and it's open!!! you see... this is the good point about being tall. i also saw that thing but that's the higheset point my hands can reach and i can only feel around with my fingers and got no clue at all.

at least learnt one more thing today...

finally done with HR presentation, meeting FYP sup and digi comm test... concussed...

time to start studying for exam... yawnz...

昨天看到小学同学在校友录上贴的照片,有些还是和小学时候一样,有些变得我已经完全认不出.一个以前住我家附近的女生王恒纱,现在剃了个板寸,酷得不得了.还有一个那时候有点胖胖的受气包崔静现在打扮起来也是个时髦女郎.从幼儿园时一起长大,住我家楼上的那个家伙孙楠,现在到了英国,从小到大都是那一张脸.从那时毕业到现在已经有十年了.想想也好久了,自己小学时候的样子还不是和现在差的好多?大家都长大了...
