Lucky

NEW layout. Basically inspired by a photo Alvin showed me.

Played around with contrast level (suggested by Bun) and TADA, I made this. Maybe not very "WOW" but I like it.

Anyway, I think I've been lucky. In Malaysia, while I played 21 points with my relatives, I got like 2 ban luck and 2 ban ban. I even gotten triple 7 BUT too bad my aunt don't play triple 7 thing so it's just a normal win.

Today I got a call from Shu Chen for mahjong. I was the East wind, and I usually don't fare very well if I'm East. Luck was with me today though, not only did I self-touch several times, there was also this round where I had like 9 bamboo tiles shown to others and of cos they avoided throwing bamboo tiles, my tiles were like 4456, which means I'm waiting for 4 and 7. 4 is tad bit risky cos I already have two of it and two of 7 bamboos were thrown out earlier. But TADA~ I got a 4.

Geez. It's my first time one house win three houses know. Just one round and I reaped $30 winnings.

Well, people who plays mahjong will understand what I'm saying more.

BTW, this is so random but yesterday, though I was feeling pissed that not only I did not get to eat POPEYE as I thought we will, I also wasn't informed earlier that chances of having POPEYE for dinner is low because they had BK for lunch. Then I hopped through the ticketing machine at Chinese Garden (I decided to save money and walked alllllll the way to Chinese Garden), I got a call saying I don't have to go Changi anymore.

..

In the end, I met up with the guys in Orchard instead. Anyway, on my trip there, though listening to MP3, my eyes can't help but observe my surroundings rather than sleep. The lady sitting beside me left, and then I realised there were two mute passengers (this I assumed) on board, using sign language to communicate vividly.

The two of them found seats and stationed somewhere in front of me, as I looked at them, it made me realised I should be happier with what I have.

Not that I'm not happy with what I have or who I am now, but I must be happy that I'm blessed just being alive and normal; my five senses are working fine, my limbs and body and organs are working fine etc etc.

The two passengers are mute, and they live in their own quiet world because they can't speak. They might not be able to talk expressively nor say "I love you" to the people they love, but they looked like they're enjoying every bit of their conversation though sign language is much tougher den just moving our mouth.

As I look at them, it made me realised how lucky I am because I am fine. And no, this does not mean I look down at them because they can't speak. In fact, I feel tad bit embarrassed because sometimes there're the words I want to say, yet I don't have the courage to say. Sometimes there are the secrets which meant to be secrets, yet I can't keep. Sometimes there're the words which I already said, yet I wished I could take it back.

We should all feel blessed.

陪我玩...~

I think that's like the sweetest thing I can hear from Wu Jun. I think I really made a big leap. From being totally ignored by the cute brothers to making them coming to find me umpteen times just to look for me to play with them, I think I'm really good with kids. HEH.

In case you forgot how he look like. I was supposed to head back to Singapore on the second day of CNY but I decided to stay over cos the two brothers preferred me to stay for another night.

But then I kinda regret that decision.

ANYWAY, their new brother, not very new actually, has grown up so much! (refer to my profile picture)

LOOK AT THOSE DROOPY CHEEKS! ARGH!

The best thing about this dude is, he is totally NOT afraid of strangers. Just walk to the person carry him, gesture to carry him, and there you go, he's in your arms. Though he does not really put out his hands as if wanting you to carry him, he does not defend himself to say no!

Neither does he cry when you snatch him from the person who's carrying him. The only times he'll cry is when he's hungry and when he sees his mother. Just don't let him see his mother.

He gets excited pretty easily too. Like for example, Wu Jun took a mandarin orange and den hid it with some cute sound effects, he went all so high and kept giggling!

He sure is one cheerful baby.

I think I'll miss his oh-so-dependent state cos I believe the next time I visit him, he might be crawling, maybe even walking. His current state is those can't even crawl, quite wobbly, very soft and nice to carry around state. I don't mind carrying him for hours :D

Ye Zu is just so obedient can. There's twice I carried him and hide cos I lied to his dear older brothers that I wan bring him back to Singapore. Initially I walked to the gate, but was, obviously, stopped by the brothers. Then Wu Jun needs the toilet and said he go toilet.

"After you come back, I'm gone" and he didn't dare to go to the toilet. In the end he did went to the toilet though, but came back to find me disappear without his baby brother. Both of them frantically looked for me but found me 5mins later.

The next time I hide, I hid in the storeroom. Door was open but it was dark inside so I hid quite imperfectly perfect. (the storeroom has windows without glass panels) The storeroom was tad bit stuffy and I hid inside for like 10 to 15mins but the two brothers cant find me.

They even went back to their mum and said "Mummy! Baby 不见了!"

Ye Zu did not even cry nor did he show any signs of discomfort until the last few mins.

Imagine!

HAHA.

I just love him so much can.

HEEE.

BTW, Wu Jun is so funny can. I told his dad "我要抱他(Ye Zu)回家", his dad went like, "好啊!给我新币30,000". Of cos I just smiled at him.

Guess what Wu Jun said: "给我十块我就让你抱他回家!"

ROFL. I can give him 10 bucks so easily can, be it in RM or in SGD. HAHAHHAHA.

Kids are just so naive, or rather, 10 bucks is just so big to kids.

Simply too irresistible.

My aunt from my father's side has gotten a Golden Retriever! Name's Cherry.

SO BEAUTIFUL and she's just 6 months old.

My aunt's maid also grew roses at the corridor! I don't even know roses can be planted in Singapore due to the climate.

My perfect shot of the roses, please notice the blurry background effect. Definitely not photoshopped and my first successful attempt! :D

BAH. I regretted staying one day because, I ended up having diarrheoa in the wee hours because CNY is all about junk food, junk food and more delicious food!

And when I'm at the custom, my HP is flooded with messages. Nevermind it's messages, I could just reply them but to my horror, on the second night of CNY, my secondary school clique stayed over at one of our cribs to play cards and stuff, and that my class is at Wei Ming's crib already!

I wanted to join them know, but due to father's orders, I have to be back home for dinner.

:(

I think I miss quite alot of fun. BOO.

It's time to say goodbye

More than three years ago, I finish my O levels, started to get a taste of working life, then when results came, I made a choice and got to Ngee Ann Poly.

In a blink of an eye, I'm here, three years later in 2007, blogging about the days I spent in Poly. Days had passed so fast I could barely keep up with time; I feel I'm getting older and older every time I graduate from school.

Soon, it's time to say goodbye, or should I say, we never had a chance to really say goodbye to one another because we had our IAP/IHP this semester. Nonetheless, I spent a really fruitful three years in Poly. (or should I say two and a half years?)

There's always a time to say goodbye, even if we know we pretty much don't wanna leave the life we love so much, then again, it's time to move on to the next level of life..

In this entry, I shall write testimonials for people who left their precious footprints in my Poly years; namely the M05 people and a few others who made a difference in my life.

Before I get down to write those testimonials, I wanna apologize to everyone who may be reading this entry, whether or not, deep down I apologize to the people whom I've ever hurt verbally or maybe even physically. I'm sorry if my words ever hurt you because I'm a reckless girl. Sometimes I don't exactly find the right words to say before I start blurting out sentences that may hurt you in one way or another. Also, I apologize for any childish/immature/selfish things I've ever done to irritate/anger you.

However, I wanna thank you if you ever did anything to make me reflect on my actions. I also wanna thank all the people for making my life at Poly enjoyable. I wouldn't know what to do without you people.

Thank you M05 for teaching me mahjong (-_-;), teaching me how to fish prawns, teaching me how to ice skate etc etc. We've been through shits together during projects and overnight several occasions just to end up mahjonging. We've enjoyed each other's companionship during night cycling, during classes etc. We've got a great mentor too! Let's not forget to keep in close contact with one another after our official graduation okay?

Look at how much all of us has changed since year 1, time has passed so quickly..



(I bet the first thing you notice is YX's hair. So HORRIGIBLE! Where got people keep that type of hairstyle one! HAHA)

Now I shall start the testimonials according to alphabetical order:

M05
Cynthia
This girl here, though the oldest in class, is actually the most bian tai girl among all. She loves to end her smses with (.)(.) or some kinky stuff and never failed to crack us up with the most disgusting thing she can ever think of. Recently, she has gotten more and more youthful looking. Continue to look young, babe!

Fai
This guy is also pervertic. You'll never know what he has in mind cos sometimes when you see him staring at something or someone, and he realizes you are looking at him, he will give you the cunning and sly grin.

Jing Jie
JJ is Mr Nice Guy. Everytime I have problems with my laptop or anything, I'll go "JJJJJJJJ... I need your help!!!" Very helpful in terms of laptop stuff and in some academic areas. But one thing about him is, he is an anything guy! He always go "anything, anything" or cant make up his decision which kinda gets into my nerves. HEH. Please learn to be more decisive!

Kai Ling
My KAP colleague! HAH. Though I'm close with her, we never had a real heart-to-heart talk together. She is a nice girl and has a good sense of dressing style ranging from matured curls to youthful rebonded hair etc etc. Great company and sometimes it's nice of her to actually laugh or response to your oh-so-not-funny jokes.

Mardiana
Mardiana is so skinny! She has a great dressing sense and always trying out new stuff: like extension of eyelashes etc etc. She is a good dancer too. I'll never forget how we had to postpone our VIVA cos Ms Loo vomited! :/

Marlon
MARLONGLONG! This guy is most of the time out of class. He is a full-time slacker, only appearing most frequently in class after he receives the final warning letter else he'll face debarment.

Mike
Devoted to SIG and squash. This guy is part of the M05 regulars who frequently hang out together after school for dinner/movie/shopping. He is just too left-handed! He even uses his left hand to use the mouse :/ Don't get over dependent on your left hand ah.

Rong Guang
RG hates people doing things the long way (or at least I think so). He is a very sarcastic guy and will sometimes speak to the lecturer in a sarcastic way if he feels the lecturer is doing something that's redundant. I heard he's a quick learner too cos Mike and Ming attempted to teach him mahjong and he learnt that very quickly. I think he's smart and he can't be bothered with things that doesn't affect him.

Sam
Fann Wong here is a good speaker. He gives good presentation which normally takes up double the time of what others need. People who presents after him tend to feel much more stressful because he is such a good speaker. Please don't forget us after your graduation okay, because somehow I felt you start to drift further from all of us already. Nonetheless, all the best in everything you do.

Shida
BABE! She's into Prison Break like I am. Shida gotten closer to us since the 3rd year after Cynthia and Mardiana got posted to another class. Somehow, I don't know why she likes Ong Sey Beng! Maybe not that she like him, but she's just so happy when she noes OSB is her supervisor for IHP! -_-; I will never forget the time when both of us were late for SA lesson and the lecturer went like "You girls didn't apologise for coming in so late?" and that both of us waited for each other to apologise before we say sorry. None of us did and the lecturer was even more pissed off. HAH.

Teck Wei
Please don't get too addicted to online games arh! Please don't spent another few hundred just to get a weapon! Tsk tsk tsk. He has a beautiful L necklace; the aftermath of watching Death Note. Teck Wei loves doing last minute work, like starting on his assignment a few days before deadline BUT he ALWAYS produce BETTER products! He has hidden talent in flash and 3D Studio Max can!

Theresa
I do not deny the fact that we had disputes in the first year but then everything has lighten down as time passed. I believe we get along better these days. Anyway, this girl is loud and she is always so lucky to have people around her willing to lend her the extra hand! She is good at mahjong and is devoted to her guy for almost three years already. Blissful years ahead for you and Jian Qi!

Wei Ming
MAHJONG SIAO AR! I will never forget the 一炮三响 history you've created in my barely one year experience of playing mahjong with money. I can say that I learnt mahjong through him? Maybe the whole M05, I don't know. All I know is they started mahjonging everytime we overnight at each other's crib and I starting sharing money with this guy to play mahjong. This guy is also very funny, remember your 滚动 and your stupid 阿公 wearing JJ's glasses acts? He is obsessed with the old lady who mentioned about poopoo and caca, and currently, he is prison breaking.

Wenna
Poon is into media stuff, and currently, she is into Korean stuff. She is always fooled by us because she is so easily fooled. I prefer to think she's dumb but she insisted she's just naive. Boo boo. Time spent with her is always great because you wouldn't know what stupid stuff she is up to, or what stupid things will happen to her. Every time such things happens, everyone bursts into horrible and unstoppable laughters (okay maybe especially me).

Xeno
Xeno is a man of deep thoughts. Enjoys salsa and mahjong too! He's legend to ligu ligu. BOO. Because that makes me the second person in history to make ligu ligu. I heard he did a shi san yao also!

Yong Xiang
I still wanna say: your IPork is so bulky and fat and heavy can! The only guy who goes in and out of Singapore just to pursue his studies. I must say that's envious, cos I wouldn't do that if I live in Malaysia! And please be a better host if we ever decide to go to your place again can?! I will never forget the experience I had when we were over your place during CNY last year. Apart from the good food, I wanna complain about everything! ROAR.

William
He's like the nicest mentor ever! He's so nice but we never step over his head and all of us respect him. I love teasing about his balding head behind his back though :P and Lim Fang How loves to call him Prince William. LOL. I love his wife's cheese marcaroni! SLURPS!

New Look

KAP renovation is kinda done? I don't know, the workers kept delaying the poster board thingy. But anyway, the new KAP looks very very different from before:









The new KAP looks more spacious, but no longer has the unique orange walls and carpet flooring :( Ida said KAP is no longer cosy already.

Some customers still complain about the smelly smell in store :/

Anyway, I mahjong-ed last week and lost badly. However, I wanna blog about it cos Wei Ming 一炮三响 leh! For those who don't know what it meant, it basically means he threw out a tile which all the other three players need to win.

We were seating in this order: Wei Ming >> Me >> Kenneth >> Xeno. When he threw out 3 tong, Kenneth went like "HU!" and I was like "hehehehe, I win first cos I'm before you" in my heart. Then Xeno was like "zzzzzzzzzz, I also win leh! Sian, why you (Kenneth) in front of me.."




My tiles..


Kenneth's tiles..


Xeno's tiles..


He made it to the history of mahjong.

HAHA.

But in the end, he was the sole winner -_-;

Mahjong-ed yesterday too.

Played two whole rounds and did not have luck for the first round and Wei Ming even called me 放炮Queen, cos I kept throwing the tiles people need to win :(

I RECOUP MY $25 LOSS AT THE END OF THE TWO ROUNDS and won k.

HAHHA.

Most importantly, luck was with me!

I DID LIGU LIGU!



What's ligu ligu?

Basically it's having triplets but is all you get it yourself rather than pong from people one.

This one really need luck. 5 tai!

After that my luck keep rolling in, diao zheng for 6 times (this one Jun Yi go count one) and won 5, 4, 5, 4, 4 and 3 tais respectively (this one Kenneth go remember -_______-;).

Okay, I shall not brag anymore. I just wanna remember my ligu ligu ligu ligu ligu ligu... :D

Finally..

I've been working too much.

BUT THE GREATEST THING HAPPENED TODAY!

No. Lucius did not visit. Neither was there cute kids who talked and played with me.

I BUMPED INTO MADAM TAY!

Who is she?

Well, only my primary school mates will know who is she.

She was the one who taught us ALL the subjects during P6 except Chinese. She made a difference in our lives.

All of us had lost contact with her ever since she left Yuhua Primary. Nonetheless, I bumped into her at KAP can!

SO HAPPY!

If I hadn't go to the toilet at the moment, I wouldn't have noticed someone who resembles her very much.

If I didn't have the determination to confirm if it's really her (cos she was marking some papers), I wouldn't have wanted to get her contact from her.

When I saw her, I was like happy yet scared. Scared cos I don't know if she still remembers me! I'm lucky she is alone though.

The first thing I did was called Marcus and then told him about it. Then he said I should approach her cos if I miss this chance all of us can never have her in gatherings!

When I decided to approach her, she happened to be on the phone and staring outside and I was like waving at her (I think I looked dumb or weird cos she must be wondering who was waving at her), then I walked in and approach her table.

I really think I look dumb!

Cos if I'm her, I'd be like ?! and then even more ????? when there's this girl who approach you.

Chat with her and got her contact. WOOOO!

6E, next gathering we will have Madam Tay with us!!!!!!
