'Por Por's' Birthday Chalet!!!!





yeah! it's our family's once a yr chalet cum gathering cum the celebration of my granny's birthday!!! guess what? she's already like 85? lol....and she's still so healthy and cheery...

oh well, that's cus she has lotsa of kids and grankids and grand-grand kids to take good care of her.

the chalet was damn fun..apart from the glorious variety of food, my cousins were damn funny lah.... especially when the play mah jong! and i just watched them play from 12 to 6 in the morning....yes, i was just watching. i can see their eyes red yet they still refuse to leave their seats. lol finally around 6am i cannot take it anymore so i slept on the sofa. and despite the two-story huge aloha resort chalet i didn't have any place to sleep cus of my m'sian cousins who came...so desperate that i ended up sleeping of a sofa in between two mah jong tables....and they were still playing merrily away....



i only got some peaceful sleep at 8 in the morning when some of my relatives woke up to let us get some sleep in the room. so me, my mom and my other cousin was sleeping on 2 mattresses on the ground and my just married cousin slept on the bed with her husband.......just when i thought i could find peace in the room...i felt so sorry for merely thinking about it man. my cousin's husband snored like mad the moment his head touched the pillow lor. wah lau eh!!!!! and yet my cousin can continue sleeping like a dead log..... i really salute her. can u imagine she's gonna sleep with him for the rest of her life??!! and his snoring have different tones and variations. very zai.it came to a point that i had to hypnotise myself to get sleep. in the end, i slept for only 3 hrs.......this is definitely the down-side of chalets........





i love bacon! i love pork chop!

i really hate myself sometimes....

Do you ever feel like you've actually said something you didn't want to until it's already been said??? it seems to be happening to me more often these days. it's totally frustrating.
they occur in all forms and situations.................and after saying it you feel like slapping yourself.

then sometimes you become over dramatic over small things. you make a fool outta yourself but when all's said and done, you feel stupid and lame. because you know it's not you...because you know you're taking after someone you've seen on tv or the person you always hangout with. your instincts tell you to do some soul-searching but what if no matter how hard you try you can't find it?

if there is anyone with an ambiguous character, i have to be one of them. sometimes i want myself to be funny, sometimes i crave to be different...but most of the time i just wana know who i really am.

My Fridays are like Mondays....




think it's the other way round...cus Mondays for me are always light and easy...i just need to go through everything in 45mins. haha. Fridays are a dread. how ironic right? i have tutorial at 10 in the morning then a 5 hr interval till my American Studies lecture at 4. plain Sian. Sian like hell... SIan like there's no tomorrow...all my fault cus never choose my modules properly....

guess what? i'm now using Jolyn's lappy to blog while she's happily feasting at the deck with our AS friends....don't feel like joining cus i think we got 'dai gou' or age gap if u wana know... haha. not that they're much older than me but i feel that i can't really relate to their topics. so now i'm sitting in the multimedia room together with a dozen of other people who're mostly watching movies....the only good thing about this is we MIND our OWN BUSINESSES...lol.

Jiayi and Janice are busy mugging....GOOD GOOD!!! so i shan't disturb them. jiayou my friends!!!

JS project meeting just now didn't take long....[at this point, i'm pausing for quite a few secs to listen to this lousy rendition of 'high high high' by kelly phoon and Shi Xing Huey.....] rather, i'm quite horrified by it.....it sounds damn random...damn weird....cus Xin Huey's voice was clearly better than Kelly's..yet they sounded like they're in a KTV...think this is from the concert they had....oh well...this is not my lappy...so the songs are kinda funny to me...a bit ancient...but amongst those novel ones i manage to sieve out some good ol' tunes which used to play over and over again on my discman...like Jay's 'Kai Bu Liao Kou' and Utada Hikaru's 'First Love'.... classics man.

Oh and she has Kiss Goodbye too....woooo.....love it. oh talking about AS....remember the shit test i took the other time? we finally got it back at tutorial today. i thought i was gonna be super screwed for not studying enough and not having a single idea what i was writing then...but it seems the lecturer either likes me or is super lenient. according to Jolyn, who got a B-[after whining like hell with me after the test], she's not lenient. okay, so i thought maybe she just simply likes us then...i got a C. i really honestly felt i was going to FAIL. BTW, the lecturer really know our names man...as in the 2 of us.... she can practically take our attendence without raising her head to check....and when she asked us to collect our papers, mine was on top so she keep saying 'this is mathilda's, pass to her..' and my poor paper was passed from one to another and so forth......lucky the grade wasn't on the cover....it's not that she has good memory but she remembers people selectively...she even knows if we change tutorial classes......maybe we're both short and cute that's why she remembers us so well........ haha......

Thanks uncle, but i'm not pregnant.

....this is exactly what i wanted to tell this nice uncle who offered me a seat on the train. just when you thought all kind hearted considerate souls are dead, there's still a handful of pleasant people around.

but the problem is this:

1) I'M NOT PREGNANT AND I CERTAINLY DON'T LOOK LIKE IT (i was wearing this sleeveless top which is kinda tight, shorts and my tummy was FLAT.)

2) I'M NOT OLD AND I DON'T LOOK SICKLY.

3) I HAVEN'T BROKE ANY BONES ON MY BODY. (and even if i did, it's not like anyone can figure out)


i can only think that the uncle is being gentlemenly...for offering me a seat. of cus i didn't take it considering i'm alighting the next stop. so i just smiled slightly at him and refused.

of cus there're probably tonnes of inconsiderate people around not only in trains but in buses and other public places as well.....you can only thank god that you're not one of them. posting pictures online isn't very heroic either. if it really bothers you so much or maybe your instincts are really crying out loud for you to do the right thing, why don't you call the police or tell the people off right away? i'm sure all of us did commit in inconsiderate behaviour consciously or subconsciously but it's not so severe as to be humiliated for it right? maybe they'll feel a great sense of achievement for doing it or maybe they thought they've done society a huge favour but if you look at it in a different way, the method is a bit unethical.

i've also dissed people whom i think are horrible but now when i think back, i should just feel lucky that i don't behave like them. thank god i have a good mind, my parents teach me well. though i can't gaurantee that i won't be irritated by these people again, at least i won't go into drastic methods like naming people, posting their pictures or use degratory terms on them. seriously, how much can a picture tell? in case you all are wondering, i'm refering to the new paper headlines today. my dad always tell me that manners are taught, no one's born with it. so what if people are born innocent? innocence is a form of ignorance and ignorance causes inconvenience to others. that's why you can only feel sorry for them........

Sleepy but can't sleep. Tired but must still work.





i'm like so sleepy now... i've not been getting good rest since the start of that damn soci mid term examination. after all the late nights and hair-loss i still turned in a lousy paper [in my opinion] let's just see the results.

i've been religiously watching 'Yu Le Bai Fen Bai' which surprises me considering i've never really stick to doing something for very long yet i make it such an important ritual now. this is also why i lack sleep cus i always stay up late at night to watch the repeat. it's dumb but at least it gives me excuse to study a bit while waiting.

i've still got to go for New Media project meeting later!!!! lucky it's at khatib if not i'd just kill myself. MORE work's piling up yet there're so many projects to rush.

Glyn msged and asked me abt going to Rain's concert. i vowed to go before i knew how insanely inflated the ticket prices were. NOW, i really don't know.....like not worth it leh. $188 can me a really good seat at David Tao's concert but Rain will be as good as a tiny spec of dust since tt's the lowest ticket price. should i just save for my Taiwan trip next yr or spend it on this once in a lifetime concert?? hmmmm.....tt's something for me to consider when i feel more awake....

for now, i wana get some sleep. at least a quick nap b4 i go for the meeting.

the quote for the day [and for many days to come]: I HATE PROJECTS!

I see troubles coming....

Why the sudden surge of enthusiasm in blogging? well, as you can see, i changed my blogskin and i'm more than satisfied with it. it just pleases me silly each time i see it...heh heh.... i had to change the skin again and again thanks to some 'Valued-critic' of mine...for now, this will be it!

JIAYI LIM ur tag is BORING ok B-O-R-I-N-G!!!! as in it makes me wana ZzZzZzZz....
please be more creative....you can do better. other than that, make sure u keep ur promise. ;)

OKAY, the troubles.... i have so much unfinished projects at hand which i need to rush. it probably didn't occur to me that i'm still blissfully enjoying myself slipping in and out of school like i'm so FREE and this HAS to change. of cus i've started muggin but at a creeping rate. Soci mid term test starts tmr and i hope i can at least squeeze something credible outta the 3 days i have to complete it. i dread essays! anyway, that's not all, American Studies also has essay assignments......damn........ who says Uni's easier???? i can see this rising tide coming from far and it's pretty soon gonna consume the whole of me....maybe at least my head....

Now i wana whine about something which happened today. my 1st day back in school after recovery. so excited, so looking forward to CT tutorial cus of the discussion topic "erotic fiction in historical China" yy and i thought this one sure, confirm plus CHOP won't bore us to death this time...so we met early in the morning and reached school by 10. normally we'll be late, at least we won't wana be caught dead for being the earliest. but guess what huh? it's simply 'marvelous' . no ones in class and the lights were off...... ok lor. so stupid. didn't know this week have no tutorial.....shit man. wasted. high-spirits totally dampened. our only source of consolation is that the topic will be discussed on the next tutorial. btw, we're not perverts. it just explains how dry the module is....lol. so we had to eat breakfast at the deck.....and there's nothing i can eat cus of my huge ulcer.....sucks!

Japanese Studies was kinda lame today. film appreciation and sadly, both were cartoons. very 'duh' lor. one is like cutsey cutsey kind the other super violent. gosh. and we had to watch the 2nd one in the library after soci tutorial. i didn't understand that film AT ALL. one moment i see a gang ripping off the shirt of a girl the other moment some weird looking kid-mutants are blasting each other into pieces...what's on their minds man. and someone's feet stinks lor........ what's worst, i already don't quite get the film and this 'Ang moh' lecturer barged in and asked us to stop watching cus it's already 6 [his turn to use the theatrette]. wah lau eh.... it's just like another 10 mins more also cannot wait?! what's his problem?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!!

whatever lah, the point is, i have to start managing my time wisely. it's WISELY, not properly, considering my current so-called proper time-management is a disaster. tmr have to skip abit of AS lecture for ARTsClub Marketing meeting. so excited..... wonder what kinda people i'll meet.

DOWN WITH FEVER

The good thing was, i did managed to pull-through the entire ROM procedure and the high tea....bad thing was, duh....i felt miserable as soon as i got home...

Something funny happened at the ROM though, my cousin and my in law had to attend to some admin stuff in the building so we had to wait outside for awhile and she asked me to hold her bouquet of flowers for her. so i was sitting next to my aunty and she next to my mom then my uncle then my 'biao ge' as in my male cousin who's 3 yrs older than me. people who walked past kept starring at me and i wondered why. then i noticed only the brides were holding the bouquets so i asked my aunty if the people will think that i'm a bride. my goodness...they started laughing and joking about it and even suggested that people may think that me and my 'biao ge' were going to get married but we're sitting far away from each other cus we just had a fight. bleah....... bad joke. it's damn embarrassing so i quickly pushed it to my aunty.

After the whole event ended my family: dad, mom, me and kelly [my biao jie] drove to Vivo City.......my dad has been bugging us for the past few days about bringing us there cus he wanted to show-off the creations of he and my uncle's company. apparently the ribbon structures in the shopping centre and the huge "Vivo City" sign outside the building was constructed by their company. i wasn't much impressed until we reached the place. then i finally understood why he was so proud of it. the structures were pretty amazing. we didn't shop but merely toured the place with my dad navigating us around [like as if he owned the place] haha, but i can understand since he spends most of the time in that place. the outdoors was damn cool and we actually felt like we're in Sydney or something....but, it's only halfway complete and the shopping Centre will only officially open in Dec.

I figured something sadistic too....that if i'm sick or if i had fever, i'll get lotsa attention and care...haha...suddenly i felt so loved by my family and muffy. Like if i whine a bit and ask for water, it'll just come to me. haha. muffy stuck with me all day today like as if he knew he had to look after me. what a good boy. i didn't have to go to school today obviously....thanks to the haze. it's weird man, i used to have to worry about getting an MC for skipping school but not anymore. the doc asked if i needed an MC and i was like "umm.....no need lah". this will never happen in my sch-Uniform days.

Right this moment, i'm doing a lot of things all at once. i'm wrapping up my soci essay [due tomorrow], listening to a lecture Webcast [on gender and sexuality], downloading season 4 of One tree Hill [on youtube], eating my minced pork porrige, chatting on Msn and blogging. tell me about the wonders of multi-tasking. Now you see why older generations can never understand us? cus they can't keep up with what we're so used to. ;)

Mathilda, the auto-flush girl....

the part about the auto-flush is in the last para:

the Haze is getting the better of me. think i'm falling sick cus my throat has been like damn painful the past few days. somemore i don't usually get ulcers, the fact that i'm having one in my mouth n0w only reiterates my point.

i wasn't supposed [as in i didn't plan] to wake up that early today cus i'm skipping lecture and tutorial for my cousin's ROM. but i was feeling damn uneasy man. my throat got worse and i have a slight fever. bad weather bad health. yet there's nothing anyone can do to stop the haze except to pay their medical bills.

k that's not so interesting. whatever, i haven't been an interesting blogger anyways. bleah. but i find this damn funny lah... me and yy have this CT groupmate who's kinda queer. he tells us he's a very complicated person. so we were at Spinelli in our school....OH! yy is so dumb! haha...she saw this Spinelli poster at the deck which says $2.10 per cup of Original Spin and got so excited so we decided to go there for our project meeting since we have free shuttle to the University Hall. i didn't really pay attn to the poster but apparently it looked kinda out-dated to my other friend. so we went to order the Spins but they were all 3plus [though still cheaper than the outlets outside school]....we gave a 'sianz' look. so much for being cheapos...haha.

Our project groupmate got lost and ended up quite late. actually i'm partly to blame cus as you know, my sense of direction is warped so i told him it's opp the tennis courts. too bad, it's actually opp the tracks. oops! we started the discussion and we kinda drifted cus we asked him about his family and stuff... and it came to the part where he told us he's a very complicated person and we were like 'ooooooo...' but how?! ' like u've been to jail before?' and he was like 'almost' my god! me and yy stared at each other for awhile but quickly laughed it off. then he also told us he worked at construction sites before with the bangladeshi workers and he always disppear without telling anyone where he goes. die, what if he disappears with our project? lol. that won't happen, but it's quite obvious he's a smart guys. lol. he got like A- for his Soci tutorial...impressive huh....

the part where he suggested our creation of an online-genealogy should be called 'Gene-ster' made us stare at each other AGAIN before breaking into uncontrallable laughter. it's damn lame can. then yy said something like 'hao xia orh..' as in lame in Taiwanese lingo. he was actually serious about it.

after that yy and i went for our New Media tutorial. i think the tutor realised i've been quite inactive during class participation so she picked me to ans one. the thing is i wasn't really prepared so i have to think of something in school which has a bad interface, impromtu. i totally ran outta ideas so i suggested something which is super CMI. i told the class that the auto-flush systems in our school are redundant and it scares the users cus it flushes on it's own even before you finish using it. so if there's a manual button to flush, why fix an auto one? you mean people at our age still forgets to flush after use? i don't know if the tutor acknowleged my point but after saying it i felt pairs of eyes staring we down in a 'what were you thinking' manner. that's when i realised how shitty my example was. even my groupmates shook their heads and hid the faces. they'll forever see me as the 'auto-flush' girl and joke about me over meals......bleah. what a GREAT way to make people remember me.
