►school.

This whole sem has been a hectic sem. and its like test and presentation and test and presentation and test and presentation. test last week, assignment due last week, another 2 presentations today, project due fri, test on fri, and test on sat. i'm dying. basically rushing against time. full of admin stuff to do also, which always come just before my exams. what a good timing.

tired over school, happy in life.

beginning to let go of the mentality of MUST GET A mentality. good in a way, cuz i really get things done much faster. No more of spending 3hours to get just one more additional mark. ahaha. more efficient. and i'm happy about that. i feel more efficient and happier, cuz less stress and more things done! yeps

after today, presentations down and 2 more weeks to exams. really studied a lot more this sem, compared to previous one. but tooo much to study, so everything seems diluted again i guess. back to zero. ha

i just cant wait for the end of the day to come. i wanna be happy. i dun wanna be trapped in school.

►HK

yay. it was really a great trip. i'm very happy!!!...just felt that the trip there was superb. had a good break and yeah, i'm back to sg with more energy to finish up my work. yay...monday came back and i survived the hectic week. down with sickness. but ok la, not too bad...just a few interesting and nice things that made the trip worthwhile...it was really a budget trip but very fruitful. =)

this is such a big bowl of noodles...but its really quite nice...rice noodle soup mee...its really made according to your preference, whether u want it hot or not, or u dun want the vegetables or not...what ingredients u want....or...............yeah.whatever up to u to choose. and the ingredients i chose all i like one!!

avenue of stars...and saw bruce lee. statue. yeah. haha..and yeah, i think u can see what me and guorui are doing..haha and the scenary there was really good. =)

and this is a movie film statue too...and yeah, as usual, i suggested a stupid idea and that is to take the photo the way we did in the pic and it turned out to be pretty nice...=p haha..

my IDOL. always as inspired by him. ahaa.

the fun peeps that i went with!!

MY 2ND IDOL..=P

at the seminar...

and yes. i found this fav food in HK that is already extinct in Singapore...

with cup noodles....damn nice!!!! =p

and managed to visit the cafe over there that i always see in television.

and i was inspired to taste the 'bo luo bao too'!by the actor who loves it in 'zhen qing' =p

and the arcade. so different from singapore's!! the one there is like a casino lo..haha just that is play with token...cheaper, smaller bet. haha and winnings cant change for cash...

and i love the Jackpot. ahaha see the three monkeys? i love their appearances!! they show up together means got bonus round, can earn a lot of token..ahaha.

we earn quite a bit of tokens back by playing this monkey jackpot after losing some at some weird stations. haha in the end, we won and we sold our tokens at a slightly discounted price to someone there and we got back our capital. we earned an hour of fun entertainment!!....

small little things....but

all these made me happy during my trip. =)

►overcome whining

FAL is my whining ground. damn.

i'm pretty tired of school. never ending work. i kinda cant be bothered anymore. i really just wanna get it done and over with asap. i miss my 'get tanned' days, i miss my 'sawadeekap' days, i miss my 'airline' days, i miss my piano days, i miss my 'get my pay' days, i miss my 'enjoying sea breeze' days, i miss 'star gazing' days..i miss 'making ppl smile days'...all in all, all these boils down to..

i simply miss my 'smiling' days...

i miss so much more other things than school. here i am whining about all other things on earth. whats wrong with me.. maybe i should start thanking some ppl...and i'll start feeling....better?yeah. let me try...=p

i wanna thank................

zen! who stood by us in times like that...u gained my respect. although i am your so called 'caterpillar', i must say, this time round, u tamed the caterpillar. =0)

Shuyi! always on my side. despite whats happening, u're still with me. sometimes, i just feel so glad i've got a friend like you. u know, u're a friend i'll NEVER forget. probably i've never said it directly to you, but deep down, this is what i feel. but well, u wont be reading it anyway la hor? = ) nevertheless, thank you!!!

those...who care about me in a way or so?...=0) u know who u are...

and those understanding peeps who are leaving me alone cuz they know i'm tired already.

ALRIGHTS. time to go down to work. malay time! =)

►i wanna grow old with you..

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

►key to me.

the key to me. it is the tolerance for my unreasonability when i need it most.

its not so much of making me happier when i am happy. its making me happy when i'm sad that matters more.

sounds demanding right?. ha yeah. thats the killing point. its either ppl can stand it and they do it well, or they cant, and then full stop.

yesterday night was damn tired. i kept dozing off. and i kept having little dreams. initially was sweet dreams, but end up not very nice till the end. if its the 'live in the moment' attitude, i would be damn happy, but even in the dream, "it was all a dream" in the end...if u understand what i'm trying to say...well, it was a dream, why cant it just be a nice and sweet one?...

i'm getting confused once again. damn. =(((((

►blood donation

i was damn brave today. haha. yes. i am. weiliang can be my witness hor...haha

hmmm....i went for something that i've been so afraid of for the past 2years. blooooood donation. i saw my own blood in a BIG packet. ha.

this is what i remember...........yest guorui told me about the blood donation drive through msn. and i almost went with him. but he had to meet his friend. so i din go with him...next, i met weiliang for lunch....and after lunch, we went to the medical centre to 'take a look' as suggested by me. hahaz. and we were stopped by a man...to encourage us to donate blood...and i told him, we'll take a look first. =) and yes, weiliang baoto me!!...he told the man my secret. hahah he secret was that.."i told weiliang donate blood can drink milo. thats y i want. " but, hahah it of cuz was just a joke.

we walked one whole round to look at the syringes and people's expressions. BUT we left by the other door. cuz i was just soooooo afraid...and i almost headed home already. until i told myself, NO! bren, people out there needs ur blood. u need to help!! just imagine the one out there who needs the blood is ur friend...will u even give a second thought?...i think no, so i went into the medical centre with weiliang quick and sat at the registration boooooth. i made everything fast before i turn back on my decision.

so firstly, registration to get a number and fililng up of form.here it is..

second was the doctor's screening...where we test our blood pressure and yeah...i dunno. i only knew after i finished my test and i passed, weiliang came out and told me his blood pressure was too low. damn!!! hahah i was left all alone.."weiliang!!u promised to go through this together!" haaha (sounds like drama series hor?)ahah

next was the blood test. the one described as ant bite.
haha it was quite painful lo. i mean, bearable la, but the pain is stinging. UNTIL, i laid on the bed. i became too scared to bother about any other thing.

next thing that i know is that i was told to hold this thing to encourage the blood flow...and allow the nurse to find my vein....all i know was that i was sooooo scared.

and i was so scared that i started 'crying'. haha its the fear of the unknown....and the thought of the needle into my hand. it must be damn painful. haha weiliang told me 'no ma zhui yao' one......AH....the scary thought made me so so scared. if u could observe, my eyes are red in the pic...and everyone else there was looking at me. i was so damn paiseh can...and i met my neighbour there...and my neighbour's child.

but...luckily, i had this really nice bunch of encouraging people....

they stood by me, especially the one next to me. She held my hand and sang for me. her voice is soooooo nice...i was very impressed. seriously. and she's damn nice. =) she touched my heart in a way. =p

and finally, the whole process finished. relief. see my blood?..=p

it was really a great experience. cuz of the people i met there. they are really nice peeps and they touched my heart. it was not that painful afterall. the most painful one was the test blood..damn. the ant bite. hahz.yeah, and i'm kinda inspired to donate the next few rounds...so that i can help someone in whichever way that i could...

and i had my milo. =p

i can. so should u! =)

hor weiliang??u can hor??...3months later..today was supposed to be our 'first times' together...to donate blood. but nvm, 3 mths later. ur turn.=p
