►my complaint

In general use, a complaint is an expression of displeasure.........etc

Today i whined. i whined about wanting to go out and have fun to relax. i whined and whined. i told junjie on the car that my life was sad. haha and he knew me. he said, 'its not u have a sad life, its just that u are emo now.'

how true. i'm feeling like crap again. if ppl ask me out now, i may not want to go out. yet i want to go out and have fun. i guess it really depends on the person thats asking me and the ppl that i'm goin to mix with...ahh.....i need some stuffs to make me happy.

►yay.

yay. i survived 4 days of school already. left one more day to go and its chinese new year. JIA YOU.

hmm, been deprived of good sleep lately. dun even dare to go to sleep without having done my work. and deprivation from sleep is making me a temperamental person, not in school, but the moment i reach home. fatiugue makes me really emo. like i get upset, angry and pissed really easily. i was kinda pissed when my mum called and ask me to do a few things. i was resting, and i was like 'argh' in my head. but i wondered why was i even going to be pissed? and i told myself, 'nono, u're letting fatigue getting over you' and somehow, the 'anger' went away. and when he called and when things dun seem to go the way i like, i felt frustrated. i dun even know what was i frustrated about. and i told myself, 'nono' once again. and i fell asleep. haha. its a lot of sub-consciously reminders to myself lately. somehow, cheating urself over and over again about certain stuffs can really make it seem as if its real. somehow i kind of successfully convinced myself that i'm enjoying school. ahaha, perhaps its the sense of satisfaction that i'm getting from using every single bit of time to study and do what i can...

i met julia and lijing today! and somehow we were talking about studying hard. they asked me to study hard, but not too hard. and i asked why? then they say cuz last sem already, go out to work cannot play le. hahah..and my immediate response was..'NO.....' cuz 1) i wasnt going to be an accountant like them 2)this sem is super impt to me...and julia read my mind. this is what she said. ' she different la. she played 2.5 years le, so last 0.5 years must study hard!!!'

i had a good laugh and left for my lesson.=)

►tired..

yesterday i felt so giddy that i saw the world spinning. i felt so light and the feeling was like, "i'm dying..." haha whatever. i guess its just the lack of sleep that made me really grumpy. i couldnt do anything. when i read, nothing gets digested in my brain.

its week 3 of studies. i'm starting to feel very very very tired. there's more to come. i was updating my school organiser about all my quiz dates and datelines. i'm like....oh man, i need to be so blessed this sem. 2 presentations next week. what a nice way to spend my chinese new year.

dunno why i'm so stressed up this time round. i survived the past 5 sems pretty ok, given the amount that i studied. i never touched more than 10% of my textbooks, i never did my readings. i din know my tutors' names until project submission day. i never really knew all the contents of my projects (i only took care of my part). i din know what the whole course was about until 2 weeks before the exams. i passed my exams anyway, with Bs...so why am i making my life so miserable now by forcing myself to do almost 100% of the readings that is given this sem..i tot i'm just putting too much pressure on myself. or am i not? but well, it isnt a bad thing to be doing my readings anyway.

alrights i'm just whining. its always good to want to study. haha. alrights. back to my books. dammit, i feel the giddiness coming back to me again. *i'm going to faint* uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

►haw par villa!!

i'm finally in there today!! after so long of 'wanting to go'. haha

its not like its SUPER fun or what, but i must say, its REALLY interesting to relearn about the chinese culture that we were once taught when we were young... like this one-->

hell.

i'm sure we all heard about hell. about all the tortures and stuffs..i felt kinda scared before i went in, cuz dark dark one...inside there, punishment at each level will be described and what kind of punishments constitutes what kind of crimes..scary....i din dare to take the photos cuz i'm afraid i'll have nightmares seeing them in my phone..hahaha

this is the reincarnation thing..where there are 6 routes...one will be reincarnated to one of the following: Upper-class people, lower-class people, animals, sea creatures, fossils??, birds/reptiles. i wanna be a upper-class one, so i need to do more good deeds. hahah

i want to dedicate the following photo to ziwan!!

there were many stories about all the values..one of it was to teach us to be hardworking...

here goes the story: lan san was a lazy boy who always go out to play while yue qing was the hardworking one who studied very hard. when they grew up, yue qin become an accountant, and he took care of the accounts of lan san's business(lan san took the biz over from his dad). moral of story:work hard. but hor, if i were to choose, i would want to be lan san, cuz lan san dun study also got a business leh!!yue qin study so hard, also only become his accountant. why be an employee when i can be a boss??! hahah

be TOLERANT!!

and smile always! hahaha

►artpiece of DINO.

here it is...he's talented, isnt he?

thanks to the playful DINO...i was scolded by mummy for not rolling up that toilet paper. he was really fast. i was out of the toilet for merely 5 minutes and this is what happened already.haha. he must have seen joy in seeing the toilet paper roll and roll. wasted so much toilet paper. haha. and the wet part on the newspaper is his urine. Stinko. hahahah

►hectic week..

its only the second week of school and i'm really like...'ohhhh tiring.'

was kinda sian this afternoon cuz of the overloading work i see thats going to overwhelm me in the 12 weeks to come. but i just keep telling myself, no problem no problem, i'm sure i'll survive. i'll make it. =) it just gotta be the 'i'm gonna do well' 'i'm gonna do well' into my mind consistently. if not i'll break down real sooooon. i'm doing fine so far, so i just gotta hang in there!!!

two things today made me happy. one was some nice comments from someone and the other was becky's sms. she got me all excited!!hahaha so i'm feeling much better than i was in the morning....

i guess i really need all these little happy stuffs to keep me going for the next 12 hectic crazy weeks....=)

for this week, i grade myself as a
A- student
A- daughter
B+ girlfriend
B+ friend

haha u cant score in everything. these are sacrifices that u gotta make in life. however, there are some that comes hand in hand!..like being a good student and going home early and staying at home to study makes me a good daughter too!lol actually i think being a good student not only makes me a good daughter, but a good gf also!! cuz i'll be so busy with my own stuffs and packed with my own work to do such that i wont be complaining that he's so busy that he have no time for me. me busy=no time to be unreasonable=no quarrels! haha..i think i should be a A+ gf instead of just B+. cuz no quarrel days are heavenly days for him.

►dino with clothes!!

Dino is soOoOooo Cute!

it has become a daily routine to spend like 2 hours or more playing around with dino..feeding him, exercising with him, teasing him and clearing up his urine. hahah .its taking up so much of my time unknowningly..haha but its just soo lovely to have him around!!

his stuffs are back from aus! we dressed him up cuz we wanted to see how cute it looks in HIS clothes! and its really cute. hahaha

and he became too lazy after all the running around!

but today, dino hasnt been a good boy. his ears are infected, but he refuses to let us drip the medicine into his ears. he'll run away, try to twist and turn so that we cant do anything to him and it got my mummy really frustrated. haha, and my sister too. so they were like scolding dino...kind of weird to be hearing scoldings instead of the laughter that we'll be having at night while playing with him...well.

DOGs are really smart. i guess at least DINO is. he learns really fast. he knows that he gotta hide when he does something wrong. and when i scold him (because he pees outside the toilet), he'll give me the innocent look that 'BOLT' gave in that movie....and it just kind of...'oh, i shouldnt be scolding him....' feeling coming over me...thats y DINO is never afraid of me. hahah he's really lovable when he's a good dog. when he's not, u'll just feel like dying cuz he'll then be REAL troublesome!!!

i just recalled the past about how my mummy will comment on people who talk to their dogs like talking to their sons...now, i hear my mum talking to DINO everyday...hahaha. i guess for now, she really understand that dogs kind of understand when u talk to them...using human language is the ONLY verbal way to communicate with the doggies. haha

Dino will probably be moving to a new house with my bro in 2 months? i'm so gonna miss it!!

►Last warning: your group SAJC ODAC is about to be deleted‏

haaha...i've seen this mail like tons of times, and i went to revive it a few times before...and i guess the times when i ignored, there were ppl who went to revive it just in time...cool. and today, while i tot i would leave after clicking on the 'keep my group', i went to explore it which i haven done so for like years...

i went to the photo gallery..and i was surprised at the photos..for the odacers reading this...see if u remember them...

u remember where??

its tasik bera!! what a lovely place..i really miss it!!!

i remembered we canoed there!! in the yellowish water that we had to drink...hahaz

and i tot this photo was funny...hope she dun kill me..
and i tot they looked really coool~
our cooking competition!!! i remembered i even brought fresh chicken over there in that cooler bag. i tot i could almost threw the chicken away alr...but well, the chicken hanged in there...and it was still edible after 24 hours away from the fridge. and the chicken soup turned out to be not bad!!!so proud of it!! i am thinking if this was my group's one...cuz the campbell and fried rice and curry chicken look damn familiar!!! hahaha i really suspect its my group's masterpiece!!

and yea, we had a lot of stupid games..remember the 'how well u know ur friends'??singing competition and stuffs and for the following game, mr ho initally tot this game was too childish! but i managed to convince him to play it. and i really think it was a great success. the lightstick game...this is one of the masterpiece of the odacers. the couple...

and more....

the old man...

night cycling..

saints!

and even more...

arent we odacers just so talented??pictures with lightsticks...and they look damn nice right!!!!hahaha oh man, i really miss that few days we had there...i wont forget the teachers' performance too! mr lam, mr ho, mr chan and ms tay were simply sooo cool.

and there were still...the native's culture show, the animal traps we saw, and jiaxing eating the tongkak ali...and many many...more......and of cuz, our favourite seafood dinner at JB before coming back to sg.

and when i recall this bunch of peeps that i spent my 2 years with, a smile will just somehow appear on my face. i realised they were the ones who made my JC life interesting and fun. i really respect all the odac teachers cuz they simply taught us sooo many things.

to the odac peeps whom are reading this (and those who are not) ,
i'm really so thankful to have u in my life! i love u!!

►2nd part of my farming!

LOL! i went back to the farms today!! to complete my farm tour...and this time round, we managed to make it in time for the milking session. haha look at those goats...!!

final product! goat milk...haha it taste really very different from cow's milk...i would say i prefer...cow's milk. hahah but well, from their posters and stuffs, it seems like goat's milk are really highly nutritious...hahz

look at this goat, so cute right. so camera sensitive.it posed for me to take a nice pic of him..hahah...=)

and i visited the frog farm. i saw many many frogs.

hhaha frogs are calm and boring animals. they really stay still in the same position for like so so so so so so long. i wonder if they feel bored at times. but, feeding them was fun. it was the only time they moved and snatch with each other for the food. there was one frog that overturned when it was fighting for the food...it was so funny.

►prawning

i recalled the prawning session last week!
and prawning is...fun =)

look at the 2 ah pei..i can imagine the scene 10 years down the road....

the first timers first catch!!...

weiliang is a pro at this..haha not first timer at all...

this is not my first time prawning, but its my first time bbq-ing the prawns and eating it there. really fresh...but the part about putting the stick through it and seeing its legs move on the pit is a bit.....oh my god. thats why i wasnt the one doing much of the job..hahaha

►thoughts today...

lol. feeling a bit scared. school is starting again tmr. and i told myself, today is the last day of idling and shopping around...hahz. see how disciplined i am to do it ba. friends out there, scold me if i dun discipline myself k. ask me out so i wont feel left out. but try not to allow me to go cuz i'll definitely be so tempted to join u. this sem i have to make it, if not i'm dead. hahaaz

so happy this morning. i went breakfast with my parents. something so simple but something so...meaningful. i guess when i have my own family, i wanna make a house rule that sunday morning is family breakfast day...lolz and i told myself, if i can spare the time, i'll do that with my parents every weekend from this week onwards...lol

today, i realised i have a favourite shop. everytime i step into this shop, i just feel at home. and i'll spend so much time just looking at their stuffs and wishing the shop was mine. and the stuffs there are really so lovable. but the price tag super beautiful also. so its always more of looking at the stuffs and thinking how i'm gonna have one in my home when i'm richer than taking the item and paying at the counter. hahaz. well. i am thinking of being a staff there for a while cuz i really like the things there!!!!! -made with love-

i really enjoy having DINO at home. this little thing is making my house much more lively. seems like there's some common topics that i can have with mummy and daddy now. my mum seems happier with this little cute doggie around as well even though she is always complaining about having to clear its shit. hahah...i love DINO =) but i guess he's going to the new home with my bro in a few months time...i'm so gonna miss it.....=(

/11:01 PM

►sorry babe!

i was on the bus home after steamboat today and one incident suddenly occurred to me...i dunno why, but i told myself i m so gonna blog about this cuz i wanna say something to this person..haha here it goes...

there was once i 'dirtied' a friend's beloved watch with soap because of my 'naughtiness' and she told me right on the spot that she was really angry (i guess it was cuz she really liked the watch and it was white). i dunno if she was really thaaaaaaaat angry, reason being 1)she often act angry cuz of her fun-loving character & 2) i dun think i did something SOOoooooo seriously wrong that could make a really good friend soooooo angry...but whatever it was, it really strucked me at that point of time if she was really angry cuz she din smile after saying she was angry and that could signify that she was REALLY angry. and i was super duper ultra mega guilty. i felt really bad...for a moment, i was like 'oh man, what have i done..?' but after a few minutes, things went back to normal and we were joking again

it just strucked me how cool true friendships are...i dunno how to describe what i'm thinking, but i guess its probably like true friends dun bear grudges...? its really about wanting to avoid making each other unhappy and forgiving quickly..? ha, gosh, i dunno what i'm trying to say. but whatever it is, whether she was angry or not, i wanna tell her i'm really sorry for that incident. i really din mean to dirty your watch!..Sorry! am i forgiven??=p

and ...i really love her and that bunch of crazy women....my life would have been much less interesting without them...thanks for everything!!=)

►brenda's 2008

2008 has been a much more different year from 2007...lol. instead of a super fun and exciting year like 2007, 2008 has been more of a year for me to grow, learn, and be more independent. too many things happened in 2008, and i was certainly enlightened by many incidents. learnt how to look things on a brighter side and learnt how to handle things the proper way...=)

first year being an adult. time to behave like an adult and take things more seriously...=)
