What's the sharingan? Sharingan is one of Kakashi's strongest jutsus. It is nicknamed the "copy wheel eye" because with it, you can copy your opponent and make him believe you can read his mind or the future. Actually, it is just a simple trick.

It is basically an eye technique consisting of hypnotism and attention for details. Combining those two elements, you can go from copying the body, to the mind, to the jutsu, scaring the hell out of your enemy.

Method:


1. Copy the movements of the rival.

2. Once the enemy is confused, guessing what he is thinking is very easy.

3. When the opponent is completely freaked, with hypnotic gen-jutsu you suggest what seal he should perform.

4. The enemy is even more panicked and you beat him up.
Look at the following comic strip for graphic info.

The enemy is freaked out by Kakashi using his Sharingan to copy his technique.

Now Kakashi copies his enemy, Zabuza's words. As he is able to say it at exactly the same time as Zabuza, Zabuza gets even more freaked out.

Zabuza's veins are popping out!

Now Kakashi uses his Sharingan to hypnotise Zabuza.

Yeah! Enemy got beaten to a pulp! All the above info came from this great site, http://www.uber-sushi.net/kakashi/kakashi.html Posted by Hello

Soo tired. Just finished tuition. Sigh.. tuition was... ok. Not much you can expect from a Primary 2 boy I know. He just can't sit still! Walk here, walk there, face the window, anywhere but look at the book. I can talk to him over and over again and he will not realise that I'm talking to him. (-_-') No one else was in the room by the way. Finally lost whatever was left of my voice in my attempts to correct his pronounciation. Sigh.. sore throat and blocked nose, and lots and lots of phlegm... sick sick sick.. achoooooooo
Went out with Wendy just now! She bought me a Kakashi poster from Taiwan!!!!! OMG!! I love her!!!!!!!! Kakashi!!! Hatake Kakashi!!!!!!! I love Kakashi!!!!!!!! Will do a Kakashi special when I'm free! Took some pictures of the Kakashi picture stuck on the wall in my room just now.. but I'm too lazy to post it now. Tired. Tomorrow maybe.
K time to go back to TV. Lazy to blog today.. blame it on the flu virus.

Today my mummy decided to cook dinner. WAHHHHHHHH!!!!! My mummy is as good a cook as.... err... never mind.. the last time she attempted to fry a fish, we only got to eat half the fish. The other half got stuck on the frying pan. The last time she attempted to cook rice, half the pot of rice got burnt and stuck in the rice cooker. The last time she... err... never mind. So you can imagine our horror when she announced that she was going to cook today! OH NO MUMMY!!! PLS DON'T! I promise to be a good girl from now on. I will stop watching vcds and start helping with the housework. I will start doing homework and stop watching tv. ANYTHING U WANT MUMMY!! JUST DON'T COOK!!! But too bad, the groceries had already been bought. The only thing that I could do to save the day was... take over the utensils and apron and do the cooking for her! So this is the result.

Not very fancy stuff.. belachan long beans.

Fried fish cake

Fried luncheon meat with eggs. All the above were done 90% by KS and 10% by KS's mummy. Hee hee. Not that KS is a very good cook herself. She only knew how to cook maggi, and fry an egg, and there were a few times she fried some chicken nuggets and sotong balls, and also some ready made chinese dumpling (jiao zi). But well, at least nothing happened during those times. And the most irritating brother on Earth prefers to eat the maggi that KS cooks more than that our mummy cook.. haha.. YES! So hail the saviour of the day!  Posted by Hello

I freakin hate socialising and networking!!! Yeah I know.. but that's what AIESEC is all about. I mean, it's not that the people there are not nice. Everyone's so nice and friendly.. but it's juz that everyone else seems to know at least 5 other people there, and I know only one. And everyone seems to have some common topic.. and everyone seems to be so comfortable with each other.. but not me. Hell I really hate trying to make small talk when you don't even know what type of small talk to make!

Ok hmm. To be fair, I think some of the people there do not know each other very well either, but they were real good at socialising.. you know.. the type you know for only 5 seconds and they start talking to you like they had known you forever. But that's not me. So if you had been to Lau Pa Sat juz now, you would have seen a very intimidated KS sitting at one small corner trying to remain as inconspicuous as ever. Only that she failed the inconspicuous part. A few very very friendly people noticed this weird girl they had never seen before hiding in some small corner and came over to try to talk to her and make her feel comfortable. Except that they didn't know she's most comfortable remaining silent and listening to others talk. Sigh. Nvm.. tried to make more friends. Hey that's what Aiesec is all about isn't it!?

Ok so I chatted with a Susan, and a Pim, and a erm.. Lisa, and of cos not forgetting my exchange girl from NY Lindsay. Oh wait.. let's go back. Who did I say I chatted with? Susan.. and Lisa.... and Pim.. and aww shucks! Who's who now?! Damn! It's freakin embarrassing when someone you chatted with a while ago walks up to you to chat again, and u clean forgot her name! Urgh! And it happened to me not once... but many times!!! Damn.. that's what happens when your brain gets an overload.. try remembering the names of 100 people you juz met in the course of 3 hours! Ok I'm exaggerating.. maybe erm, 50? No no.. okok.. I think it's more like 20. Yeah. But my point is, it's juz IMPOSSIBLE!

Sigh.. but of cos! There's this one name I definitely remember. Jingwen. Erm.. it's a HIM btw.. wahaha.. a male called Jingwen.. Great! So now I know a female Jingwen and a male Jingwen!!! So cool! Yeah!! Doesn't this juz bring to mind the Paris VS Paris couple?! Hiakz... should I try to create a Jingwen VS Jingwen couple?! WOW! So cool! It's the latest trend! Shit.. I still can't find a guy called Kah Suan.. Damnit.

Oh anyway this Jingwen was telling me.. this girl jumped from his Hall 3 block yesterday... and she was still holding her mobile as she was jumping. Think she was talking to someone on the phone before she jumped. :X His analysis was.. probably relationship problems or results. BUT.. guess where this girl jumped from........................... the 2nd storey. And what the hell was she trying to attempt?! Suicide Breaking a leg. Which she succeeded in doing. Walau.. wanna jump mai hum lar. Jump from the highest level lar... whichever level that is. Though I'm not sure how tall the Hall 3 blocks are, I can be pretty sure it's not 2 levels. And in anycase, you can always go elsewhere to jump. I know for one, Hall 9 is 6 storeys high. That's not counting the hill. You wanna jump go jump there, confirm will achieve more than breaking 1 freaking leg. Yeah before the government throws me in jail for encouraging suicide, I better add this: all the above are meant as jokes. You jump from anywhere, yeah you might be trying to kill yourself. Have you ever wondered what might happen if you fail? What if you break a leg? Then you might become crippled forever. What if you injure your spine? Then you might become a vegetable. WORST OF ALL! What if you SCRATCH YOUR FACE?! Then you become DISFIGURED! FOR LIFE! Unless you have the money to engage Woffles Wu for a lot a lot of corrective surgery and skin grafting that is.

Uh back to the networking session. A whole load of Angmohs there... so totally hard to mix with them. Read this guy's blog about how locals love to get angmoh boyfriends... his name is Caramon Yeo? Or issit Carameo Yeo? Something like that.. In his blog he mentioned this Angmoh guy who managed to get a damn lot of local girls to bed him.. all willingly (according to Mr Angmoh). Wow.. the way he says it is freakin demeaning to local girls! There are girls who don't go for angmohs ya know? Like me. No common topic. Here's an example:
Angmoh," You watch OC?"

KS," Erm OC? Oh is that the one Tom Cruise acted in?"

Angmoh," Oh never mind. Err... you watch the Amazing Race?"

KS," Oh yeah! It's the one where they all run around a shopping mall trying to get stuff isn't it?"

Angmoh," Oh err.. not really. Oh you heard the latest about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?"

KS, still trying to gek smart," Oh yeah. This one I know. Erm. Angelina divorced Brad rite?"

Angmoh," Oh you must be talking about Jennifer Aniston."

KS," YEAH! That's her! I dunno why I said the wrong name. Slip of my tongue."

Angmoh," Haha yeah it's ok."

KS, really trying very hard now," Oh I watch a bit of AI! Do you watch that? I like Clay and Kelly. My friend likes Carrie Underwood. But I feel this season AI has no special person that appeals to me a lot. How about you?"

Angmoh," AI? Oh.. uh.. I didn't watch that."

(-_-") So much for trying to make small talk.

Urgh and something really pissifying.. I juz realised this cutie from Finland is leaving Singapore soon! And this was only the 2nd time I was meeting him! Damn! So he came over, and KS was staring at him dreamily.. and desperately trying to wipe away the pool of drool on the table... and he said," Have I met you before?"
KS snaps awake. "Oh yes! At this LC gathering at NTU. You remember? You were presenting something, telling us more about Finland!" KS starts babbling.
Cute guy," Oh really? Hi I'm XX. Nice to meet you." Shakes hand with KS and moves to next person.
Damn.. I think he came over to say hi to me only cos he was enroute to saying hi to someone else beside me. How sad can my life get?! Boohoohoo.. and I juz realised this cutie sends a lot of emails, with his mobile number attached, to the aiesec group email I'm in. See lar.. lazy to open Aiesec email lar! U dunno what u have missed. Urgh!! And he had been here for the past 11 months. ELEVEN freaking months! Shit.. didn't make good use of the chance.
Urgh.. did I juz criticised some ang moh for making demeaning remarks about locals? Nvm.. forget I ever said that.

Moths.. ahem I mean *mutant butterflies*.. for erm... dinner anyone? Check out that link people... and if you have any pics, submit them. Those pics on that site are not an accurate representation of the moths.. erm.. I mean mutant butterflies.. so there.. huge gigantic terrifying moths.... er... I mean.. huge gigantic terrifying creatures.

Yesterday the KS disaster control call centre received a distress sms from a very upset Ms Chan JX. She claimed that there was a BAT outside her home! Aw gawsh! The "bat" was resting soo strategically directly outside her home that she had trouble getting into her home without being sucked dry of her precious blood! (by the bat of cos)

Little idea had she, that
butterfly

is wayyyyyyyy different from
bat
Yeah.. now that the comparison can be more easily made... are you convinced? And Miss Lim JW you too.. that the top picture looks nowhere near the above picture? FYI as far as I know, bats do not spread their wings out when they are resting. And they are really MUCH bigger than those butterflies you saw, though I must admit the butterflies are gigantic themselves, when compared to other butterflies that is. But compared to bats? Nah not at all. And yours truly got terrorised by them no end for how many days counting liao.. the entire NTU is infested with them... the giant butterflies I mean. But I gotta say they have really quite a tough will to live.. I saw one today, with almost half a wing gone (probably eaten by some lizard or someth) and it was still flying about happily. Gawsh.. and if u look closely at the top pic, the tip of one wing is gone too. Guess these monsters or "cute little fellas" are not gonna disappear from Jurong area any time soon.

And I really don't see any similarities between the top 2 pics.. I mean like, really... *shakes head*

Was juz surfing around.. being too free.. ok well I'm not.. I'm supposed to start studying for my GE exams and do that assignment due next week. But oh well, it's that inertia working again. Lemme slack some more. Oh as I was saying, I remembered Tie telling me the other day about *this* blog and how this guy always lists chiobus in his blogs. Outta sheer curiousity, and also cos I saw his link appearing in tomorrow.sg I decided to take a look for myself. First picture that greeted me was..... hmmm.... nothing short of chio chio chio!!!!! *swoooonnzz* Go on looking.... and soon you will need a bucket to collect your nosebleed. *swipes off the drool*

Oh and Tie also mentioned that once this guy featured *this* senior from RG.. who's rich and pretty and smart.. yeah what else could you ask for in a girl rite.. Yes and once again, being too freakin free, or you can say too freakin reluctant to start doing work, I decided to check out her blog. Hmmm...

"Do you know whats worse than having no money at all? Its to have everything you wanted and then lose it. Someone in left a msg in my blog saying that if i didnt have the jag or the bags, i would not have such a great family, bf and friends. In my case, its not true. In the recent economic depression, we almost lost everything. It was a difficult time for all of us. We sold most of our cars, houses, my yatch (that i NEVER used). Gone was the weekend trips to Hongkong, the thousand dollar meals we had every weekend, the extravagant shopping sprees in Orchard.
The amazing thing was that there was seldom any trouble back home. None of us kicked up a big fuss about not having new cars, new clothes, new bags. We told our dad that we really didnt mind moving out to a flat and the most important thing is that we are all together and happy. It would be difficult at first but we would eventually adapt. Even in times like this, we felt incredibly lucky to have each other. I guess this is where i cultivated the attitude of being happy with where ever i am now."
" i aint going up anywhere in the corporate ladder but i still think its very important to never be mean to people for no reason because someday, when times are bad, these people will come back and bite you in the ass. But of course there are exceptions, back stabbers & hypocrites dont deserve to be nice to. However, i dont stoop to their level and talk bad behind their backs.. I tell them what i think of them.
So now, i apologise to all that i have been mean to when i was in RGS. Most of whom i barely knew or remember. I was wrong and i have changed. :)"

Heh interesting girl.. truly befitting of one from RG. Oh anyway after going to her blog, I also realised that WOW! It is really a smalllllllllll small world!! She knows this girl I know (RG my year), which is rather amazing since she's 2 years my senior. I guess it's probably cos they are both studying in Purdue University in the states. That girl is another pretty ger... hey Jing! This is the one I told u made me start staring at the pretty girl in NUS central lib.. cos at first I thought it was her. They look rather alike. But this girl I know is much taller. She was a GEPer in RG and later went on to RJ.. where she was a councillor... I think. Then she joined Ms Singapore Universe last year (same year as Sum Yee, only she's much chioer), but she got eliminated at top 28? I think. But anyway I think she probably deserves to win. She has the looks AND the brains. GEPer leh. See if you people can spot who I'm talking about.. her blog is linked to the above senior I was talking about.

And from her blog, I realised that it is really indeed a small small super small world. Seems like her friend's boyfriend is this guy from my fac, who was from HC last time, Maria's grandsenior. Jing knows who I'm talking about. Haha. Cute guy.. but oops he's attached! And his gf is chio. Haha.. thus he can only be eye candy. :D Hopes his gf never gets to see this. But hey.. in any case if other girls think your guy's cute, it's an honor isn't it?! Yeah! K that's it for now. Hello's down.. gotta use photobucket to post some disgusting pics.. be back later.

Pros and Cons of living near town area

Pros
  1. You get to see many chiooo cars zooming about everyday, from Lamborghinis to Ferraris, and to the less often seen Zonda. Occasionally a Rolls pass you by. Or maybe a Bentley.
  2. You get to see many chiooobus sashaying about everyday, ranging from the well-maintained tai tais to the well-made-up Japanese, Korean or Caucasian housewives, to kawaii international students renting flats in the area. Not to mention the... erm.. ladies of the night, who doll themselves up every night and catwalk around the area trying to catch a cab to Geylang to start work.
  3. You see many yandaos wearing sharp suits driving flashy cars to work everyday. You might also see them wearing straight-out-of-Milan attires on their way to chill out during the weekends. There are also many young punks (CUTE young punks) in the area to serve as yummy eye candy.
  4. My place is quite close to MS, which means I can easily walk home after clubbing/pubbing, saving on cab fare+midnight surcharge. (that is, provided I'm not drunk and can recognise the way home. But since I do not really drink, that is not a big problem.)
  5. You can walk to town. You can shop all you want.
  6. You can get home easily after Christmas eve or New Year's eve countdowns in town.
  7. You can walk home after weekday midnight movies at Cineleisure.
  8. You don't have to trouble yourself trying to find inexpensive parking areas in town since you can just walk to town.
  9. Because you live so close to town, friends feel obliged to walk you hom or send you home after a late night in town (applies for girls only).

Cons

  1. You become a spare tyre whenever your friends get stranded in town with no companion for shopping or whatever.
    e.g. 1
    "Hey Kah Suan, I'm in town now, shopping with XX. After a while XX has to leave. You wanna come and join me for coffee or something?"
    e.g. 2
    "Hey Kah Suan, I just finished this interview in town and I have nothing to do now. You want to come out and accompany me?"
    Haha these people you know who you are huh!!
  2. Whenever you have gatherings with friends in town, your friends JUST had to make you meet them at the MRT station furthest away from you, for the fun of it (-_-") . i.e. In my case, it's a 10 minute walk to Somerset MRT, a 30 minute walk to Orchard MRT and a 25 minute walk to Dhoby Ghaut MRT. So they will choose to meet at Orchard or Dhoby Ghaut, or ANYWHERE but Somerset MRT. Just so I get to exercise more. No wonder I'm losing more and more weight after I moved here.
  3. There is NO bus from your place to town, not to any of the more popular places in town. So whenever it is, wherever you are, whatever happens, the only method you can go home by is to use your own 2 hind limbs. It doesn't matter if you are dead tired from a whole day of crazy shopping, or your eyes are very nearly shut after a very late midnight movie, or you are already staggering from a drink too many, or the hot sun is shining on you mercilessly, or... err.. yeah you get the idea.
  4. Everyone thinks you are rich. EVERYONE! When the truth is you actually live in this run-down apartment block infested with lizards and roaches and god-knows-what. And hell, you even stand a much greater chance of being kidnapped. The thing is, I betcha my daddy and mummy won't have enough money for the ransom. Even if they might have some way of getting the money, e.g by borrowing or stealing or robbing banks, you think they would do it? Of cos not! Gosh I dunno how long they had waited for this one chance, to get rid of this good-for-nothing daughter! (juz kiddin.. I'm so cute I bet my daddy and mummy juz adore me. :D)
  5. The nearest market is accessible only by car.
  6. The nearest hawker centre is accessible only by car.
  7. The eateries here charge exhorbitant rates for simple hawker fare.
  8. The nearest eateries are a 10 minute walk away. (Cons 6, 7 and 8 are the reasons why I usually do not bother to eat lunch when I'm at home for the whole day. Which is in turn another reason why I'm becoming slimmer after moving here.)
  9. Tai tais looooovve dogs... they absolutely adore them. But not their poo. So every where you go you risk stepping on doggy poo. What didya think?! Of cos tai tais won't risk chipping or dirtying their precious perfectly manicured nails by bending down and picking up the doggy poo.
  10. Everyone here wears French sounding labels. Gucci, Fendi, Prada, LV, Versace, Dior.. what? Guess? Nah.. that's toooo cheap!! AX?? Nah.. try again. Salvatore Ferragamo? Much better. Yikes! So where does that place me?! Me who wears those 3 for $10 tees I got from Tiong Bahru market.. OMG.. that explains why yours truly always hides at home refusing to wear her LX or Praba out. (in case you are lost, check out the labels of the 3 for $10 tees next time you visit your nearest market.)

Sigh.. so now you still think living near town is good? Think again.. before trying to become my neighbour.

ARGH my bloody GE presentation is KILLING ME! Another conspiracy I think. Even after the translation from ancient Chinese to the Chinese language we use now, the entire passage is real incomprehensible!!!

We have now reached 道家. The most famous philosophers from this school of philosophy are 老子 and 庄子. After reading their philosophies.. I suddenly feel like I'm gonna be a 神仙 soon!!! Ya know.. like.. the Taoist priests and all.. yeah.. they all practise the Taoist school of philosophy. So KS learns about the Taoist School of Philosophy, KS becomes 神仙. It all adds up nicely don't it? Simple mathematical substitution. Yeah.. come now... everyone quick sucka me... mebbe I can try to get you people a place in front of the Heavenly God. And oh.. as for the specifications of my temple, juz gimme pink roofs, purple walls, and..... wahahahaha nono I'm kidding. EH I don't dare to make fun of the gods and goddesses.. later I will get struck by lightning.

Anywayz the most famous philosophies that came from this school of thought..
绝圣弃智,民利百倍;绝仁弃义,民复孝慈;绝巧弃利,盗贼无有。
Many who are strong supporters of the Confucian School of Philosophy thought that this means that Taoism asks us to stop educating the people <弃智>, and to become cold and unfeeling <绝仁弃义> but this is not true!
What it actually means is if we do not have a fixed concept of certain things, like beauty or value (for eg you find a gold chain very valuable, or you find a girl very pretty. These are concepts that we have fixed in our mind.. the definition of beauty and valuable, he calls this 智), then there will be no desire to be pretty or to have something of great value. The people will thus benefit. If we do not have a fixed definition of what is filial piety and loyalty, we will not feel obliged to be filial or loyal due to pressure from the society. Whatever filial piety or loyalty that comes from us will then be carry the true meaning of filial piety or loyalty cos it comes right from our heart, not from obligation. (I find this particularly true!) Lastly, if we do not have a fixed concept of beauty or wealth, there will not be any thieves in this world! *clap clap* so smart!

Now on to the more interesting stories. (Yeah there are interesting stuff to be learnt from this course too ya know?)
This is the story of this man who is a strong believer in 老子's philosophies. That means, live your own life, be happy, you don't have to care about what the society thinks, you don't have a fixed concept of beauty, wealth, and everything else. Every object in this world is equal in status. This way you can be truly happy.
Anyway this man who lived during the 魏晋南北 era.. he's a nudist.. as in, he doesn't wear any clothes at home. (YEAH!! I JUST betcha he's probably the VERY FIRST nudist ever..). So one day this Confucian scholar visited him at his home, and proceeded to scold him.. 不知礼义廉耻.
His reply was,"Everything in this world is equal, and thus I treat this four walls as my clothes. I have never stepped out of them. So who's the one who doesn't know his manners.. you or me? You just walked into my pants!"

Another interesting story... this one is about 庄子. He's a follower of Taoism. In fact, he's one of the most influential person in this school of philosophy.
So one day he was sleeping, and he dreamt of himself being a happy butterfly. He flew happily here and there and everywhere! Then suddenly, with a jolt, he woke up. He realised, with a shock, that he was not a butterfly, but a human 庄子! WAHHHHHHH!!!!
And like all smart asses, he had did not let this weird feeling juz go away and pretend nothing had ever happened. (Another eg of a smart ass is Isaac Newton who did not juz leave the apple alone after it fell on his head.) So 庄子 thought and thought about it... and came up with his most interesting theory to date. He asked himself,"Was it 庄子 who went to sleep, and subsequently dreamt of the butterfly? Or was it the butterfly who went to sleep, and subsequently dreamt that it had become a human, 庄子?" Heh oh by the way that was to further emphasize the point that all things are equal, butterflies and humans not excluded.

Your brain neurons in tangles now? Feel like knocking your head against something now?! Yeah that is what I go thru everytime I see my Chinese GE stuff. Wahaha I've succeeded in bringing my pain to the rest of the people here! Wonderful! K now back to preparing for my presentation.

ARGH it's a bloody conspiracy to kill me!!!! The stupid evil management fogged my condo without informing the residents!!!! Shit.. I could not close the windows and doors in time and the whole bloody house is filled with the insecticide smoke! DAMNIT! I escaped to the balcony.. and looking down THERE!!!! Another one of those guys are fogging that area too!!!! I SWEAR he looked up and gave me this evil smile!!! SHIT! He has a mask on to filter out the insecticide!! I got NOTHING!!! Oh no I'm starting to feel faint.. my vision is blluurrringgg....... I... I............ save me..................................................

This guy came over to ask me and my GE friend to do this career survey in NTU today. Normally if I were alone I would never do such things... complete waste of my time. But my dear smiley friend was so nice she juz happily took the survey form and started doing it. -_- No choice.. since I was also sitting there, I felt obliged to do it as well.

K first question. What is your desired salary per month?
I ticked S$3000-S$5000.

Next question. When do you aspire to retire by?
The choices given were up to age 60. But hey.. I don't like retirement... doing nothing only gives you premature Alzheimer. So I told him," Err.. more than 60?"
"Hah oh ok.. I tick outside the box ok?"
"Ok."

Next question. When do you desire to earn your first million?
I asked,"Huh? You mean Rupiah, Baht or what?"
"Ah... Sing dollar.. Hey! It's possible! Don't think it's not!"
Walau it's not that I think it's not possible.. it's juz that aku bo heng chu (I'm not interested)!!
Sigh... no choice.. gotta pick one.. So I ticked 50 years old.. eh this kinda question.. no good asking me. Gotta ask my future husband.. I'm juz not a money-minded person yeah? I work only because of interest.. my source of income will come from my husband. =p

Next question. If you have a job that will help you achieve this million dollar aim, will you take it?
I told that guy," Err, but I only wanna do jobs related to my course. Other jobs I'm not interested."
"Oh so you are not considering any other type of jobs lar." Then he glanced over at the Chinese GE notes on the table... Damn!! Now he muz think I'm some weirdo aspiring to be some Chinese Philosopher in future. Shit.. he gave this knowing smile.. walau...
"Oh even though you are not considering any other jobs, you can still fill in your particulars below."
I gave him this suspicious glance.
"No no don't worry I won't harass you!! Haha."
EH!! I didn't say you would harass me lar!! But now that you said it.. hmm... come to think of it I look kinda cute today.. with that Cyndi Wang skirt, and that cute yellow top, and... *slaps myself* SHIT! Now I geddit!! No wonder he kept asking me whether I was local and kept talking to me in Mandarin.. Cos he saw me holding all these super cheem Chinese GE notes... Oh damn! I bet he muz think I'm some PRC cute-Jap-chick-wannabe... but (quoting my fren Lianya's fren) cute-Jap-chick-never-will-be...... (-_-')
I filled in my phone number kinda hesitantly... then I reached email... " _shine_1@yahoo.com"
"Eh how come your email starts with an underscore? Haha so unique.. later other people might think it's a fake email."
EH how come email cannot start with UNDERSCORE?! Think outta the box lar Mr Surveyor.. like that how to earn your first million any time soon??!?
Now I reach address.. I pause again.
"Oh address no need to fill."
Yeah I had no intention of filling it anyway.
Ok done!
Mr Surveyor,"Oh by the way, my name is XXX. Thank you for your time!"
Sigh they outta pay us some money for taking up so much of our time..
Eh wait! That surveyor was kinda cute.. OH DAMN!!! Why the hell didn't I ask for his number?!! Dui ah!!!!! And I can't even recall his name!!!! URGH!!!! His own fault... you really should not give your names in "by the way" sentences. Like, "Hey by the way I'm Kah Suan. Bye." You think anyone will remember that name?! Of cos not.. sianz.. wasted 5 minutes of my youth for nothing.. and I did not even get to know Mr Cute Surveyor better... don't disturb me now.. lemme go to bed and cry.... lemme grieve alone.. don't try to console me.. I'm inconsolable...

Finally went shopping today!!! Shopping as in, shopping with mummy and mummy paying for my purchases. Woo hoo!!! So shiok!!! The feeling is exhilarating!!!! And guess what?! I discovered a new shopping paradise!!!!!! I dunno if I'm the last one to know that this place exists -__- but anyway it's at Bugis Village, opposite Bugis Junction. U gotta go ALL the way in.. at first I was juz looking at all the auntie shops on the outside... then suddenly THERE!!! I saw this walkway filled with Far East and Annex style shops. Being drawn by this invisible force, I had no choice but to walk in. I walked into the first shop there.. walked a bit further in...... juz a bit... and then a bit more.... and VOILA!!!! There lies a whole new exciting world at the back of the shop, where there's another exit!!!!!!!! It opens into a WHOLE MAZE OF SHOPS!!!!! OMG!!! IT's not juz ONE walkway... it's MANY MANY MANY!!!!!! Can u imagine my excitement!!!!!!!!! Adrenaline rushed thru my whole body... and I could not stop anymore!!!

The invisible force juz drew me further and further in.. I knew not where I was going anymore! All I saw was shops shops and MORE shops!!!!! OMG!!!!! I feel like Alice in Wonderland!!! Erm.. I mean KS in Shoppingland!!!! I discovered a whole new Far East!!!!! And the clothes there are cheaper!!!! Cos a part of that shopping area is not air-conditioned.. so it was kinda hot.. but it's all worth it!!!! The clothes are all soooo cute!!!!! All sooo colourful!!!!!!!!!!!

My first purchase.... a skirt!!!! I stopped at this shop and started looking at all the skirts there.... OMG how should I choose!??!?! It's a SIN I tell you.. that you have to choose one from all the fab skirts there! OMG check out that gorgeous denim one.. WHAT?! ONLY 10 bucks!!!!!! You really gotta be kidding... No no.. but hey!!! That PINK skirt looks soooo much better!!!! Shit.. I think my eyes are gonna pop outta their sockets soon.. NO no NOOOO!!! That other one.. that glittery one is BETTER!!!! SooOOOoooo fab!!!!!!! ARgh!!!! How to choose?!??? Sigh... in the end... with a bleeding heart.. I settled for a cool checked skirt. Heh... damn cute. The nice shopkeeper allowed me to try it... and my mum started going," Tsk tsk tsk.... so short... how to wear!?" "No lar mummy.. it's not very short lar.. normal only. It looks good.. only 10 dollars leh.. buy lar buy lar.." (Yeah mummy is my goddess of wealth). Finally after much wheedling and persuasion HURRAY!!!! Victory!!! V(^^,)V

Next purchase.. a T-shirt!!! It was at this shop right in the core of the maze!!! I actually MISSED the shop at first go!!! Can you believe it!? In the end I caught sight of IT from the CORNER OF MY EYE!!!! The ABERCROMBIE TEE!!!! Whoa!!!! I squeezed into the shop thru the side entrance in my haste to check out that t-shirt... wah! Lucky no one saw me... phew.. if not kinda paiseh.. haha. I was checking out that tee happily.. scrutinizing it and holding it against me looking at the mirror... and the auntie at the shop started trying to persuade me to buy... -_- billabong and ripcurl tees. "Hey girl.. u want billabong? It's nice! Will look nice on you! Come I show you." And before I could say anything she took out the entire collection of billabong tees she had. "No lar auntie I prefer Abercrombie." Smiles weakly.
"Oh billabong you don't want ah? Ripcurl lar! Ripcurl I also have a lot. Come come I show you!"
And again, she took out her entire collection of ripcurl tees. -.-
"Auntie... I ah.. I really prefer Abercrombie." AUNTIE JUZ GIMME ABERCROMBIE!!! *sweats*
"Don't want ripcurl also ah? How about roxy?? A lot of you young girls like roxy leh.. "
"Ah auntie no lar.. err.. juz this yellow Abercrombie tee thanks!" Yeah quick quick.. pay liao siam.
"Eh girl thank you ah.. nah give you my card. U have any friends ask them come here ok? Got a lot of clothes you young girls like. I always go poly sell.. Ngee Ann and Singapore Poly."
"Eh auntie how come you don't wanna come university sell?"
"Aiyo university.. the students there only study study study.. last time I went NUS everywhere I go I see them studying. No one come to buy clothes from me. I go Ngee Ann.. wah!! There the students really have spending power. The girls there very smart.. want to buy clothes ask their boyfriends buy for them! So smart! At one go can spend a lot of money! Go there good!"
"Haha ok."
All the above do not represent my personal opinion.. merely repeating auntie's words =p
Actually that top cost quite cheap.. I dunno if it's the real thing or some parallel imported stuff.. but I seriously doubt it's real.. though the material is quite good. Eh so next time you people see me wearing this Abercrombie top.. shhhh.... help me keep this secret k.. hee hee

Next purchase.. a 3/4 cardigan!!!! Hee hee.. the type I showed in one of my previous posts!! OMG I feel soooo satisfied......
No wait.. actually no.. I saw this other bag... it's this Adidas bag... no no.. not the type that Jing carries.. it's also a sling bag.. but it's different. Urgh anyway it's all soo cool! There's also this pair of Birkenstock sandals... quite cheap!! I wan I wan!!!! I WANT THEM ALL!!!! AHHHH!!!

K too bad.. goddess of wealth ran outta cash.. gotta wait for next trip. Sigh.. wanna go back there soon!!!

Told myself again and again that I had to do this post. I JUST had to do it. It's wayyy too close to my heart for me to not do it... yeah.. so this is it.

The top reasons why Paris fell out with Nicole
P stands for Paris and N stands for Nicole
1) P: Hey! I wore that Givenchy top to Coyote Ugly the other day! The paparazzi took pictures! How could you have bought it?! You know there's such a thing as copyright don't you?! Stop copying my superior dress sense u lousy idiot.... you spoil the whole top!

N: OMG now they would think I wear castoffs from you!! Yucks you piece of fake blonde shit..

2) P: You know.. you really should change your eyeshadow color. That color suits ME better... I've got a better complexion than you anyway. Just give that eyeshadow to me. You can take this one here.. it's from Anna Sui... it was all the rage you know.... last season. Oh well you are never in the limelight anyway. There's no need for you to be so up to date with the latest eyeshadow color.

N: Yeah right. You look like Frankenstein with that eyeshadow color. Paris Frankenstein.

3) P: Hey my dog juz got a new fur-cut. I think she's hot. Look! That dog from my neighbour juz got so attracted by her that he came right over to mate with her after that fur-cut!

N: WAT?! That neighbour's dog's my doggy's boyfriend! How could you do this?! You juz broke my doggy's heart... boo hoo hoo you heartless bimbo...

4) P: Hey I juz got casted in a movie! It's the Lord of The Rings IV! I got casted as the elf princess! And I've got good news for you!

N: What?

P: You got casted as well! Isn't that hot!?

N: Yeah! What did I get casted as?

P: The Dwarf princess!

5) P: Hey I think ruffles are the latest fad this season.

N: Nah.. I think it's lace.

P: Ruffles!

N: Lace! Most definitely!

*fight breaks out*

6) P: Hey I juz got a call from my agent. We got an advertising deal! It's a slimming company! And they said that we both get to be in the ad!

N: Really? Wow! That's hot!

P: Yeah! You're the "before", and I'm gonna be the "after"!

7) P: Hey! It's the latest fad to get yourself a boyfriend with the same name as yourself.

N: Shit I can't find any guy called Nicole!

P: Oh no that's sad. My friends all keep themselves up to date with the latest fads... guess you juz can't be my friend anymore. S'ry.

8) P: Hey! The paparazzi are taking pictures! Quick! Pose!

*poses and takes pictures*
...after a while

P: HEY!! That was MY signature pose!!! I pose like that in ALL my paparazzi pictures! You COPIED me you fool!! You juz destroyed the pose!!!

*storms off*

N: I... wat....

9) ...While filming the simple life season 2... the episode where Paris got to act as a mermaid.

P: Hey! I think this costume is wayyyyyy coool!!!!

N: Why do I have to be a turtle?????

P: Cos they ran out of mermaid costumes?

N: Uh huh...

P: And cos you look like one!! Haha!!!

*all hell broke loose*

10) P: Hey didya read my book? I think it was well-written! I never used so much of my brain in my entire lifetime.. the way I used it to work on the book. NEVER! Gosh. It has so much depth in it I surprise myself! Go get it!

N: NO! You did not include my name in the book! Now they will think I'm not your friend and I'm not an heiress when in fact I DID contribute a lot to the book!

P: Like how??

N: Like.. that time.. you could not spell "heiress" and I went to search the whole dictionary juz to find that word?? U know how much time it took me? I had to start from "A" cos I thought it spelt "airess" but it was "H"!!! I hate you!! How could you have left out my name?! URGH!!

Oh well.. the above may include lots of prejudice on my part... cos as u all know I'm a die-hard fan of Paris!! :D Go watch House of Wax!!!!!! Coming to your home.. from the nearest VCD seller at the pasar malam!

Ain't dis cool?! Finally realised da attraction dat mspaint holds!! I luv mahself!!! V(^^,)V Posted by Hello

Went to Sasa juz now and tested some perfume over there. Being curious about what Britney has produced, I tested Curious by Britney. And got a pleasant surprise! I mean, of cos it was produced by some fragrance expert and Britney probably only lent them her name.. but.. it was my type of fragrance!! The sweet smelling type.. like candy! Ok I change my mind.. no I don't want Summer by Kenzo no more.. I want Curious by Britney!!

But then again, after I thought about it, the fragrance kinda smelt familiar.... hmmmmmm... lemme smell that again... hey!!! It smells suspiciously like Ralph by Ralph Lauren!!!! Which I already have!!! Sigh.. but then again.. there's a bit of variation... hmmm... I see no other way.. guess it's time to waste money again... :D I love wasting money!!!  Posted by Hello

Woke up at an ungodly hour today.. to go to the airport to fetch this trainee from New York on a traineeship attachment here. I've no complaints about that.. cos I suddenly decided to be a more onz member of my society. :D

That lady is a very well-mannered lady from Yale University. She's a History major, going on to her 3rd year after this summer break. The following information is for Jing... I'm sure she wanna know this badly.. is she HOT like Paris?! Yeah I guess, you could say she's rather attractive. Slim, well-defined features, and she wore pink the first day I met her. So all of that added up to give a good impression. The only not-so-nice thing about her is her hair.. looks kinda unkempt. If you ever get to meet her you will know what I mean. Wahahahaha!!

She brought like, 2 HUGE suitcases plus a haversack full of things for a 1 month stay... and cos she looked sooo freakin tired, my senior and I juz felt obliged to help her with her suitcases. And we brought her to Choa Chu Kang, where she will be staying for the duration in Singapore. And there my grouches started to set in.

We met this senior coordinator there, this senior 1 year older than me, at CCK MRT station. She's kind of like, the person in charge of all the trainees and all, and she only started looking for a reception officer (that's me) like, a few days before the trainee arrived. How responsible. And I did not even officially agree!! She kinda forced me into agreement. She juz smsed me the details and asked me if I could be this girl's reception officer. And stupid me went to ask her more about what a reception officer has to do. That kinda made her ASSUME that I was willing to take the job. So the next sms she sent me was like,"K so I put u as her reception officer k? Anything happens there will be me to guide you along."
Yeah ok fine. I wanna be a more onz member anywayz.. so I thought, no harm in juz accepting this job. BIG mistake. This coordinator juz kinda threw everything right into my face, making it seem like my fault that I've not done anything when hey.. she only juz passed me the info one day ago. So I'm supposed to know immediately what I have to do and I have to do it like, with 100% efficiency. And she expects me to check my email 24/7.. so she will send an email about something that I have to do a few hours before I was expected to do that thing. Wow how nice... And she blames me for not checking my email! Wow.. good job. And she did not even bother to wake up early to go to the airport to fetch that girl though I was "supposed" to go pick her up. Wah like I live damn near the airport lar.. and I wanna sleep late too k?

And then when we met, she kindly reminded me that I was supposed to send the girl this evaluation form that she was supposed to complete. And then she kindly reminded me again that I had to do it very very soon if not the girl would have gone back to the states before I knew it. Yeah how nice. She was supposed to guide me along and not juz throw everything in my face and expect me to do it... and I really really suspect that I am doing her a great favor by agreeing to be a reception officer in so short notice.

And then even though the girl looked sooo visibly worn out and jet-lagged after a 20+ hour flight, she wanted to bring the girl to the company to look around, and even asked me where else I had planned to bring the girl to. Hey I know it's my job to bring her around Singapore and all.. but.. can u like, give her some time to rest first? This is only the first day.. what's the big rush!? And even though you were able to sleep till about 7+am before coming to meet us, we woke up at 5+am to go to the airport to pick her up, after sleeping at about 1+am cos there were so many loose ends to tie up... could you maybe give us some time to go home and sleep? Oh and BTW she had to go after a while.. cos she had some meeting to attend... how nice. Urgh.. talk about inconsiderate people.. yeah.. oh btw sorry to say.. that girl was from HC.. one year our senior. Is it typical of these students from these elite schools to think of no one but themselves?! #%@#%%#%##@$!%$^@^@!!!!

This is seriously never-ending.. it's juz toooo enjoyable!!!! Wahahaha.. presenting.. next up in the cute guys series... the Hollywood Special!!!! First up.. Adam Sandler!!

Yeah I know I know.. he's like, married, and old, and has a double chin.... BUT.... he's still cute!!!! Gosh don't you juz dig that boyish grin?!

Adrian Brody!!!! He does not fit into the conventional cute guy or hunk stereotype.... so why the hell is he even here?!

Well... I kinda fell in love with this Pianist after witnessing that famous passionate smoooooochhhhhh with Halle Berry..... this guy is bloody attractive!!!

Did someone juz say Bennifer?

Yeah oh well... if u juz kinda ignore the part about Garner and Lopez... Ben Affleck is actually kinda cute

Now that Jennifer Aniston (another Jennifer) is out of the picture... somehow Brad juz seems so much cuter

But of cos... Angelina Jolie had to come in... yeah.. but anyway Angelina's damn hot... so I guess she can be forgiven.

This is my personal favourite... Jude Law

Yeah I know Skycaptain sucked... but Jude's cute anywayz... oh btw I once saw this guy who looks like a spitting image of him somewhere near my place!!! Almost got a heart attack and died on the spot.. too bad he walked away too fast!!! Urgh!!

I am The One.

The One And Only Keanu Reeves!! His brooding aura... juz captures all the ladies hearts... never mind that he's probably old enough to be my dad... he's 100 X cuter.. (oops! Sorry dad!!)

Legolas.... the elf

I only like him in Lord of The Rings.. with the long blonde hair... nah.. that Kingdom of Heaven look sucked...

Finally... Tom Cruise!

Yeah well.. Nicole was real hot.. and he was a jerk to have treated her like that... but.. somehow jerks have a way of making themselves look cute... sigh.. oh well that's why they can even be jerks in the first place rite? Haha. Sorry folks.. that's all for Hollywood.. when I think of what other specials I can do next I'll keep u people updated!  Posted by Hello

Results are out. Year 1 Semester 2:

BS106 B
BS107 A
BS108 B
BS109 B

Hmm I gotta say the results are quite surprising... a definite shocker. How come only 1 A?!?!?! I thought I could probably get like, 4 As!!!! OMG!!! *cries*... that's the result of being overconfident. Boo hoo hoo.....

Ok juz kidding.. I can feel daggers flying thru the air towards my back. *dodges*.. Well actually the reason why I said the results are surprising is cos I was soooo totally prepared to fail 106.... I mean, not like B is a very good grade either of cos I know. But considering that I was expecting to flunk it, yep.. I would say B is pretty ok for me. I shall worry about the my honors later.

Back to 106. Time for confessions. Due to terrible organisation and planning, I only allocated very little time for 106.. which is totally suicidal cos 106 is sooo freakin hard! Ok 107, 108 and 109 are hard too. But.. 106 is like.. nucleotide metabolism aminoacid metabolism.. sounds like Latin to you? Yeah.. it sounds like that to me too. Which is why I probably deserve to fail. And 107 was 2 days before 106.. and cos that one I have some impression of. So I kind of decided the hell with 107 and concentrated on 106 more. Which is why I don't deserve to get an A for 107. *Ducks from flying daggers*.. okok I better stop talking abt the A and concentrate on the Bs.

Ya people should know KS's style by now. I'm this really last minute gurl.. and I mean REALLY. So like, 90% of the knowledge required for the exam is amassed during the few hours before the paper. That's why.. don't ever disturb me before a paper. I don't believe in those things they say about there being no point studying any more right before a paper etc... I work best under stressful conditions. Of cos I would have probably already read thru the notes maybe once before the paper, but for 106, that was really not the case. Which is why I really panicked before the paper. And it juz had to be the very last paper... when I was no longer in any mood to mug any more.. sigh.. so when I saw the questions, I kinda already knew that was the end of KS. I flipped from the first page till the end, and back again. Wow.. well done.. not a single question that I could do with 100% confidence. Especially the last few about the nucleotide metabolism etc.. I finished LONG before time... but had no courage to go out of the exam hall. Finished so fast.. not cos it was too freakin easy.. more like I juz could not do the questions. Too damn pek chek. I saw these 2 girls in front of me walk out.. was really really tempted to join them.. but.. in the end, the humster in me took over and I decided to start hypnotising myself and see if I could kind of juz recall any tiny bit of info about these topics. Of cos.. that was not really helpful.. only ended up more confused than ever.. in my hypnotised state suddenly all the answers seem correct... how I wished I had brought a coin inside to toss. Head shall be the first answer. Tails.. the second. Better still.. bring a dice! 6 possible answers.. choose one! Would have saved me lots of brain cells... and of cos hair.. the hair that I tore out in desperation while trying to think of the correct answer.

Anyway the total tally after finally gathering up the courage to calculate... I have a grand total of (at least) 40 marks gone.. the marks I'm totally inconfident of scoring or those that I did not even attempt to score. That's not considering the marks from the 60 I had officially left in the tally that I may had eventually got deducted. So.. if considering all those factors, I can still get a B, wahahaha think I can laugh my way to sleep tonight. I think poor Prof Bose must have cried his way to sleep for many nights counting... and also puked many many buckets of blood.. hiakz.. all profs should learn from this example.. never NEVER set exam questions that are THAT tough EVER again!!! And btw according to Prof Bose, this paper is one of his easiest... yeah right.. soo.. we are stupid..... well too bad.. haha.

Okiez tt's all for now.. gotta go read up some stuff for my Confucianism thing... tataz!!

Had GE today..... and of cos.. interaction with that GE pal of mine never fails to entertain me. Today after the lecture in the morning, we went to have lunch. She told me that she had to go to the computer lab after lunch to print her lecture notes.... oh well that's absolutely fine with me.. Cos I can go there and use the internet till it was time for our next lesson. K so we started eating our lunch. And we started chatting. Ok.. actually it was more like.. SHE started chatting... being her usual sociable self.
"So how do you find the Confucian thinking? Do you think it can work in the world of today? Oh I think Singapore is doing a better job at promoting Confucianism than China! The children in China are not taught Confucianism anymore! My grandfather always complains to me about it." (Her grandfather is some scholar in Confucianism)
"Oh is it? Hmmm.. I guess it could be cos China is kind of like, communist country and they are not supposed to believe in things like Confucianism." *nods wisely*
"Oh actually now China is not really a Communist state any more. At least not in spirit. The communist thing is juz in name." Oh I know that.. of cos I do... hey I was juz testing her knowledge can?
"Oh yar.. that I know. Hmm.. but maybe cos last time for a period of time under Mao Zedong they were not supposed to believe in Confucianism?"
"Oh in fact.. Mao Zedong's principles are rather similar to Confucianism....blah blah........." Oh well.. so much for trying to act smart.
"......""......""......"etc etc
We moved on to the Tiananmen incident.
GE pal,"A lot of people felt that it was Deng Xiaoping's fault. He did not handle it properly. He should not have used real bullets on the students."
"Yeah I agree. It was his fault." *wipes sweat*
Come on.. let's move on to something else.. I can't keep up with this conversation.. what Deng Xiao Ping?! What Tiananmen incident?! What students?! What what what!?
GE pal," I used to live near that area.. during that Tiananmen incident, I could see tanks driving past everyday... it was quite scary even though I was too young to fully comprehend what was going on."
Ok.. yeah.. I know I know.. now.. you have taken FAR too long to eat!!! Hey my dear friend.. you still have to print your notes you know...
Finally.. after a VERY obvious lack of interest from me... (okok... I mean, I AM interested in such things.. but.. ok fine.. there was a very obvious lack of KNOWLEDGE from me.. sigh.. time to read up more about such things... if I wanna become a more learned person.) finally she finished her lunch... took 45 minutes for a simple meal... sigh.. can't talk to her more about things that interest her during lunch next time.... not if she still has something else to do after lunch and I don't want to be late.

Oh btw... if u people have time go read my brother's entry about this personality test he paid 50 bucks to take. (@%$^@^#$@@$!!! 50 goddamn bucks!!! I can take these tests for free online!!!) In any case.. I supposedly have an artistic (and stupid) brother... wahaha.. yeah.. and the exchange between him and my dad took place while I was ironing the clothes... almost burnt the clothes cos I was too busy laughing after hearing his personality test results. Oh well.. juz.. go read lar.. haha

Went for this job interview today. Just now. About 2 hours ago. It was at this small company along Shenton Way.. that deals with translation for those huge companies like DBS, Ascendas, ITA etc. So what they do is, these companies send some documents to them, and they translate the documents to Chinese. Or it could be the other way too. Like, some companies from China need to translate some documents to English, then that would be the company's job too. Let's start from the location of the company. It's this small company at UIC building. No idea where that is? Then what do u call the locating of such a place by someone with totally no sense of direction.. someone like Ms Lim KS? Hint.. it's the name of a movie Tom Cruise acted in. Yeah.. no prizes for guessing. I roughly knew it was somewhere near Raffles Place MRT. So first thing I muz do.. get my butt over to Raffles Place MRT! After that, I thought about it. Seems like I've been there once.. to eat at some restaurant located there. So I thought about it.... closed my eyes and tried to recall.. how did my dad drive there?? OH!!! I remember!!! I think I THINK he drove past Lau Pa Sat to get there!!!! Yay!!! Ok next step... locating Lau Pa Sat. U would probably think that is already not a problem.. from Raffles Place MRT it would be a breeze to get to Lau Pa Sat. But no.. for KS it is as easy as trying touch the tip of your nose with your tongue. (Think it's easy? Try it! Eh wait.. who are those goons sticking out their tongue and furiously trying to.... ah.. never mind. I meant trying to locate Lau Pa Sat from Raffles Place MRT and not licking your nose u goons!) Ok anyway.. from there.. I walked in circles... trying to find my way to Lau Pa Sat... road signs road signs!!! What's the government doing?! When I need them.. I can't find them!!! Sigh.... BUT!!! In the nick of time... my inborne navigation instincts kicked into place! Never NEVER doubt your instincts... especially when u are in serious trouble.. cos they are DEFINITELY wat u can rely on to get you out of whatever shit you are in! So I started sniffing around.. trying to search for traces of my scent that lingered around since the last time I went to Lau Pa Sat. Finally... after many rounds of searching... there!!! I spotted it!!! The white tent-like structure!!! Lau Pa Sat!!!! Then of cos... it's time to search for UIC building. So I crossed the road to Lau Pa Sat.. and turned one circle around Lau Pa Sat to try to determine exactly which direction is the right one.... before I finally spotted the crucial road sign.... SHENTON WAY!!!! YAY!!! I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK! So I walked down Shenton Way, an finally there.. tadaa!!!! UIC building!!!! I'm SOOOOOO proud of myself!!! *pats myself on the back* OK on to the interview. It's a real interview.. no not the fill-the-form-and-get-lost type.. the type where the boss sits opposite you and asks you questions. The whole interview was conducted in Mandarin. Wow.. xiang kao lao niang... Lucky I'm still taking Chinese GE now... U wanna try Kong Zi, Meng Zi, Lao Zi, Han Fei Zi etc?? No prob! Wahaha.. Anywayz first question he asked... my interests, and what I was looking for in a job. I replied, a bit too brightly," Challenge!!" (Yeah right..) And then he proceeded to tell me what the company does etc.. this boss has a certain weird way of writing things down.. he writes them down in acronyms. So like.. Confidential Translation=CT etc... and he would write all these acronyms on the board... so being the dumb me that I was, I thought he might ask me questions about them later.. so I was busy memorising what each acronym stood for.. yeah.. well.. in the end he did not ask... but oh well.. it was always good to know more about the company.

And then he was telling me more about the job scope I had.. if I decided to join them. I would have admin jobs like liasing with the big companies and helping them find translators or translating the documents for them myself. I could also choose to teach these students from this new fac of interpretation at Temasek Poly. I would also have to follow him around to meet the big shots like the CEOs of the big companies etc etc... and the basic salary would be S$1000 per month. The salary would increase depending on how much work I do each month. Like his other assistant.. her salary increased from S$1000 to S$4000 in 2 years. At least that's what he said. When I told him I was looking for juz a vacation job.... he said that it was fine.. and I could join them full time in the holidays and work part time during term time. He would try to accommodate my schedule. I wonder how that accommodation would work if he finds out that I have lessons everyday and end late almost everyday... and my homework is rather time consuming as well (all those endless lab reports.. ahhhh!!!!).

Anyhow.. it seems like he needs me more than I need this job! So how!? Seems like a scam to me!!! How can everything be so nice?! He even said if I have problems with translation, there would be teachers to help me. Sounds too good to be true rite?! If the company is investing so much in me, think they would most probably force me to sign some contract of some sort.. then I can't ever get my ass out of it.. sianz.. my primary interest is still Bio... I'm juz trying to relieve some of my parents' burden.. Ok to be fair, I DO find translation quite an interesting job.. at least we don't have to do the same thing all the time. But it is not what I want ultimately! But like what my aunt says, I will get to meet a lot of big company CEOs on the job.. which means a lot of exposure. Makes it much easier to get jobs in future... sigh.. and the pay's not bad.. I might juz be able to support myself thru university and get extra allowance on top of that. Dilemma....

Oh btw the boss asked me to go join them for a few events to get a feel of what the job is like.. so I can decide if it's the job for me. One of them is on Vesak Day, I will have this session with some of the Temasek Poly students... actually I still dunno what I have to do there, all I know is he gave me this thick Chinese book and asked me to read thru it b4 going... @_@
And the next event is this meeting with the LTA CEO... and I was invited to join them as well... WOW! Great exposure rite?! This had better be true...

So... now.. this is the poll. Who thinks I should go for it? Who thinks I should not?

Found *this* blog... it's the blog of this 933 DJ.. hmm quite interesting.. his blog looks more like the official FM93.3 webbie... but nvm.. haha. He linked a few DJs as well.. though I'm not sure which exactly.. been listening to 93.3 on off recently.. dunno all the new guys. Maybe we can check with kyl? Haha

Just now Wendy was telling me about *this* interesting blog of this NUS Life Science year 2 guy.. go read this entry --> Are the students from National University of Singapore (Faculty of Science) really that boring and ugly?
Haha well... I have no comments about what he said.. cos I'm not from there.. but I found it rather entertaining. Anywayz if his taste in girls is anywhere like mine, he should have come to NTU Biological Sciences instead? There are quite a few pretty girls in the small cohort of 200 each year.. not to mention the kawaii ones *winks*. Wahaha.. oops!! Opened my mouth too big when I was laughing.. shit.. now I'm gonna scare him off. Hehe.. anyway hope no one takes any offense, it's purely for entertainment. Anyway like what JX said," I thought engine pple more CMI?" Oh well.. ultimately it's all up to personal preference. Haha.

Juz bought Cleo.. to check out the latest fashion in town muahaha... but anywayz that's beside the point.. Cleo has this tiny tester perfume.. Summer, by Kenzo. It smells damn nice!!!! OMG y din I buy that before last friday?! Then I could have bought that perfume at DFS when I was working in the transit area!!! Urgh... I wan Summer!! So wasted.. I was still thinking of what perfume I could buy when I go in there to work.. sigh.. nvm.. shall try to find more lobangs like that.. or maybe if I could go overseas.... hmmm.. then I can enter the transit area! Haha.. k time to save up save up!! To go tour!

Finally went shopping today!! Shopping as in.. I spent less than an hour at Jurong Point buying things for myself. Cos I went with exactly what I wanted to buy already in mind. So it was juz a matter of picking out the best of those and the cheapest. Haha.. Yes yes KS is an auntie... but hey.. doesn't it juz feel soooo irritating when u have juz bought this item and u see another shop in the same shopping mall selling the exact same item at a discounted price?! Dun u juz feel like banging your head against the wall or storming right up to that previous store and demanding a refund?? Oh but of cos.. not every store is like Carrefore and lets u refunds all items within 2 weeks of purchase, no questions asked (at least I think so).

What did I buy? Bought a pair of hoop earrings!! Yeah the Jolin style ones.. Actually I was not intentionally copying her lar.. it's juz tt I originally already had a pair of hoop earrings. But then the other day I lost one of them!!! So I've been walking around for the whole day with juz one hoop on my right ear and I never realised... so paiseh!! Oh well I bet everyone probably thought that I was one of those avant garde fashion leaders... so yeah.... fine. And somehow I juz had a feeling something like this will happen. Like.. after I buy a new pair, I will find that one that I lost. Yes and guess what?! Immediately after I returned home, I found that single hoop lying on the ground there juz waiting to be found!!!!! Urgh... nvm.. at least I got a new pair of earrings.

Ok what else did I buy? I bought this handphone accessory! Ok I admit that was kinda like, and impulsive buy. But.. hey! KS is human too! She has to give in to impulses once in a while rite?? Anywayz my poor handphone has been ugly and barren ever since my baby cousin tore off the previous handphone accessory (my own fault for hanging such a cute winnie the pooh there) and I decided to juz give the accessory bear to her. So now, my handphone can be pretty again!!! Kawaii phone!!! Haha... though I have yet to get a new phone.. I can always change the decorations on the old one!!! Wahaha... Oh and Tie.. btw.. I actually found some of the crystal phones on ur blog kawaii...*embarassed smile* not all of cos... only some... sigh.. but thot all girls go for glittery stuff? Haha.

Okok... that's all I have about my shopping trip today!!! Gtg dress up my phone now! Ja ne!

Jin pai bing ren has finished! K this is how the story went.
The official matchmaker who was a female pretending to be a male got found out. And in the end cos they saved the emperor from this plot to kill him, they all got spared from death. And yeah.. it was all happily ever after. Quite interesting!! Haha.. though the ending was quite predictable, it was all rather funny.
Ok maybe it's juz me.. I juz love those period dramas, especially those HK ones. I love the way they speak, the way they dress, the way they behave, the way life was back then. Ok.. KS is a weird antique. KS loves history and everything associated with it. Even period dramas. Which probably explains why she's taking the elective she's taking now.. tho it's really a killer for her. Oh well.. maybe she really shouldn't have chosen it.. nvm. It's still interesting.. tho a bit hard to handle... yeah. Sigh.. haha
Juz realised that SCV shows a lot of HK period dramas. Maybe that's why I love SCV so much. And if u all realise, period dramas have been missing from channel 8 for like 10 zillion years? Is it cos it's more costly to film those?! Let's start a petition to get period dramas back on Channel 8 or Channel U!!! Yeah!!! Ok ok KS loves petitions... but oh well.. that's the only way we can make ourselves heard in Singapore.. isn't it? Sigh!! K gtg watch SCV!!!

Ohh.. I juz LOVE to drink this beverage!!! Hey it's not juz for kids k.. *shakes head in denial*.. No no KS is not kiddy.... it's a nice nice drink... for adults!!! Wahaha I dun like the other weird fruity flavors... I only like the original flavor!! It's nice!!!! Hehe.. mebbe cos they added a lot of artificial sweeteners or something.. I dunno... sigh.. but... it juz tastes soo nice!!! Think that's my sweet tooth speakin.. but nvm.. go try it k... those who are not lactose-intolerant I mean. If u are, juz too bad... u gotta give this great beverage a miss!

Currently it seems like only Cheers carries this drink tho.... so sad... hope more supermarkets and convenience stores sell it as well!! So I won't have to travel like, 10km juz to drink a can of milk. (okok I'm exaggerating... as usual). Anywayz those who feel they like the drink as well, let's all get together to start this petition to make this milk more easily available!!! Haha I love wang wang!!!

Went out with the 78 bunch today.. Jing, JX, Kaiwei, Weijian, Wenhann, Jialin. We were supposed to meet at Pasir Ris park to cycle (yeah KS can rent the tricycle there... or mebbe I could try to persuade one of the guys to cycle me on the double bike hee hee).

We first went to check out the chalets over there to try to prepare for our upcoming chalet for Ja... and made this really interesting discovery at one of the chalets... hmmm... JX discovered it.. there's this really interesting display over there.. one that's easy to miss but once u spot it u will never forget to look at it if u ever pass by that place again. Hmm.. really interesting. Wahaha..

Then we walked out to Pasir Ris park. We saw a bicycle kiosk right outside the chalet.. but we decided to walk on.. cos there should be more along the way. BIG mistake I tell u.. a VERY BIG mistake... We walked and walked.. and walked and walked.. and walked and walked. Oh well.. I thot.. nvm... since I was there to suntan as well.. it's ok to walk more.. no prob.. despite there being like, a huge blazing sun overhead. Anywayz I juz love getting all sticky n stinko and all.. and dun we all love a nice workout after exercise-deficiency for like, 10 yrs? Urgh... haha. Well.... anywayz when we FINALLY reached the place for bicycle rental... wahahahahahahaha guess what they told us. No bikes!!! Cos the bikes had yet to have their license approved! So they can't be rented out yet!!! So we were like.. then why the hell do u even open the shop lar... damn misleading can!? Anywayz in the end we decided we were really not up to the looonng walk back the original bike shop again. So we decided to scrap the cycling plan. Wahaha.. Sigh.. guess today muz be KS day! The heavens juz love me! Hee hee cos I was actually secretly praying that the bike shops will not be open! Lalalala wahahahaha... and at home I was praying that it will rain so we can change the outing to do something more interesting.. haha........ OUCH!!! Who hit me!?? Aiyooo.. not my fault that we did not manage to cycle in the end rite?? Anywayz my xiao shuai ge not there.. got no cute guys to cycle me around too... so sadz. Hee hee

Yepz. Finally Jingz has found out my secret... sigh.. the reason why KS has yet to learn cycling up till now. Haha... and the reason is............ so......... next time I can trick my boyfriend into cycling me around!! Wahaha.. like some '60s movie!!! So romantic rite?? *slaps myself* Ok ok I know I know.. KS shall wake up.

Yepz.. anywayz after that we went to the airport to people-watch and have dinner at Fish & Co. Juz chatted the nite away... and returned home totally knocked out... Whoosh.... k time to KO. Sayonara!

Recently started watching this anime-Naruto... and this is the main character! Naruto kun! Oh well.. before watching I was actually quite apprehensive.. wat with the whole world so addicted to it and all.. like.. in my msn list, I could see out of maybe 10 pple there will be 5 with some Naruto character as their display... but anywayz, exams are over, n I'm damn free.. so I saw no harm in borrowing some Naruto dvds to watch. Wow it's actually not bad! My type of anime... the warrior and fighting type, talking abt fighting and becoming strong for someone u care abt... the same type of anime as Samurai X. Naruto used to be a powerful and evil 9-tailed fox, until he was defeated by a Hokage (some very powerful and highest ranked Ninja) and sealed into the body of a baby. The baby grew up to be Naruto. So he has a lot of Chakra locked in him. While he was originally not a very promising ninja, he has very high potential due to this locked chakra.

This is Uchiha Sasuke. The cute genin. He comes from the Uchiha family, with the Bloodline Limit of the Sharingan. His brother Itachi killed everyone in the family but him.. and he lives only for revenge.. the revenge against his brother.

This is Sakura.. the female ninja in Sasuke and Naruto's group. Naruto has a crush on her.. but she has a crush on Sasuke!! What a mess.. haha. So far, she's the lousiest ninja in the team.. her powers have yet to be nurtured... (oh btw by "so far", I mean up till the 20th episode, where I'm at.)

This boy is Konohamaru, the grandson of the 3rd Hokage. He's always aspiring to be a Hokage, and looks up to Naruto as his idol. This cheeky and playful boy hates to ne known always as "the grandson of the great 3rd Hokage" and hopes to become strong so that one day he can be recognised for who he is.

This is Iruka sensei... he's the one taking the lessons of all ninjas-to-be. He has a background similar to Naruto. He has no parents as both were killed by the 9-tailed fox that was Naruto. However, there's no hatred towards Naruto. Instead, he treats Naruto very well as he understands that Naruto feels exactly like him. Naruto has no parents and everyone in the village hates him cos they view him as the one who once brought great terror and harm to the village.

This is Kakashi, and his Sharingan (his eye). He's the ninja overseeing Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Also known as the Copy Ninja, he has defeated many using his Sharingan to copy their techniques and also using it to hypnotise them.

The baddie that the team led by Kakashi had to face and engage in fierce battle with even though the 3 young ninjas were not equipped with the ability to fight such advanced ninjas. In the end he was still defeated by Kakashi and died beside Haku, a ninja prodigy he took in and trained since young. Haku died protecting him, and even though Zabuza did not show it at first, he also cared deeply about Haku, and died fighting for the honor of Haku. He died a good man.

Yes the person beside Naruto is Haku. Do not doubt it.. Haku is a HE even though he's so damn adorable. He has a Bloodline Limit as well, and thus is a very capable ninja. He is able to render a person to be in a near-death state, and later be revived again. Even though he calls himself the "weapon" of Zabuza, he has a pure and kind heart. In the end, in a fierce fight with Naruto, he does not have the heart to kill any of them and instead tried to trick Naruto into killing him to end the fight. However, juz as Naruto was about to kill him, Haku sensed that Zabuza was in trouble and rushed to his aid. In the end, Haku was killed by accident by Kakashi while trying to protect Zabuza. Posted by Hello
