A lot to do this december!

The past few weeks flew in a flash. GOSH. Here's a quick list of what I did (if I can recall correctly):

• Event at Ophir Road
• Event at Taman Jurong
• A day of nail-modeling :D
• Part-timing at PA company
• Data-entry.. *Still feeling guilty, thankfully I've got a realll good boss :)
• K-boxed! My sis chose old-school + ultra difficult songs! Madness to the throat.
• Darling friends post-celebrated my birthday with a whole load of surprises *more about this in later posts ;)
• Shopped at IKEA. Woah.. Loads of random impulse purchases.
• A lot more shopping!

• Being deeply impressed by 萧敬腾!!

Currently busy with..

• Watching Cyril Takayama's street magic. AWESOME! He can grab hamburgers from posters! Or a handphone from magazine! 0_0 Go on and type "Cyril Takayama" in Youtube search engine.
• Online shopping

Going to be busy with..

• Final Year Project

• Competition Round I, Phase II

However, there are times when I'm not so busy.. Once, I was so bored at work that I drew this using Paint. Yes, that paint application in your computer right now.

The 16-17 year-olds love my random doodlings! :)

xXx

Alright, that's all for now.. Night world.

finally there's time for a layout change.

i've been reluctant to change the layout for 3 reasons:

1. changing the layout is time-consuming
2. i didn't have the luxury of time to do so
3. difficult to find another layout i fancy (tied in with the right settings for IE, not mozilla firefox)

today is finally a rest day for me.. therefore time to indulge in unproductive activities. ha.

more entries up soon :)

with deepest sympathy & condolences to the family members of the five dragon boat team members.

the fragility of life saddens me.

this is a strange topic to talk about.

was watching a random last 10 minutes of a real-life documentary on tvmobile this afternoon. strangely, those hard-to-come tears welled up my eyes. i was able to hold back those tears (for obvious reasons, i don't want to look weird in the bus), but it did feel odd to fight against your body's innate ability.

it's such a boo-boo to cry. i can't recall any day recent when i cried..
life has not been exactly smooth-sailing, but do not warrant valid-enough reasons to shed tears. yes, they can well-up (too bad this is usually a reflex action, therefore hard to control), but never fall.

i hate the funny sensation when tears are coming. i will be like, "oh crap! don't even start tearing!" and start looking away to divert attention. i detest attracting the wrong kind of attention from anyone who notices me about-to-tear.

when tears start welling up your eyes, what will you do?

i thought today will be just another day..
but you made the difference.

the lil' surprises, the lil' blessings..

i'm feeling so loved and blessed!
thank you for making today memorable (amidst the mugging).

thank you love~

promise post-exam celebration(s)! :) can't wait!

psst, takuya.. happy birthday! :) will definitely catch HERO! love u!!

i ❤ Nokia N95!!
whooping 5 mega pixels and loads of functions! too bad the black model i like only comes in 3.5G (which is also almost twice the price of the 3G version).

Nokia, i want a black version for N95, i don't need the 3/3.5G! or Singtel, please lower the price for 3.5G N95 model, like lower drastically please! hurhur.

*sorry for this random whiny post. this eye-candy just can't get out of my mindddd..

A lot of things to say.

this is likely to be my last post before i go for my exam break. not to worry, i promise a long entry to keep you entertained (if you are entertained by my entries in the first place). so there you go. loads of random ramblings, food and pictures!

at cathay cineleisure - sister brand for billy bombers (and i forgot the name for the sister brand)

procrastinating kills. did another last minute assignment and handed it up to the prof with loads of guilt. but 我不见棺材不掉泪! and thus, i never ever learn my lesson. i really want to start early but i keep putting it off my mind, till the last minute. (on a happy note, another last minute assignment of mine earned praises from my prof eh! hohoho.) if anyone can change this ultra bad habit of mine.. i will love you to bits! let's call it "saving procrastinator tenshio project", aka "mission impossible".

oh yes, so after submitting the guilt-ridden assignment (post edit: did surprisingly well for the assignment as well as the overall coursework. guess the prof is really lenient), i want to have fun! so i asked mingshu out to shop at orchard. i can't really remember the shopping part by now, but i do remember our really full lunch/dinner!


HUGH chicken mushroom burger with BLACK and original nachos.


huge chicken burger + lemonade + soup of the day + ben & jerry's ice-cream (not in picture) = very full

and this is mingshu's mixed grill!



actually i thought the food was passable.. and the staff were kind of "over-friendly" that felt a tad queasy. but at least they are friendly.


surfin' USA

gv11 proj = :D

one of my fave projs 'cause i enjoyed every bit of the process! best thing is, we've got the recognition from the prof! she even recommended us to join competition eh! :) am so proud of our production!

oktoberfest!

arh, perhaps that's the only german term i can utter. lol.


german sausages


pork knuckles

poh, mingshu and me had fun snapping pics and laughing at ourselves.

we attempted to do cross-eye shot


correct example


failed example!


the pic i received from poh was abit weird (likely due to error in data transmission), so i did some minor editing in attempt to save the pic. *tellmeyoudontseetheline


as you scroll, you'd expect more random shots from the trio. stop scrolling if you can't stand our random-ness.








i look so laughy! im just amused.


a bad spoof of jay chou's 我不是牛仔

don't you think nokia handphones take better quality pics compared to other handphone brands? my vs6 camera takes really dull pics! sigh.




with dearest amanda! :)

event was tiring, but we had our share of fun :) oh, met the guys again from the previous event! lol. only know to ask me buy coffee bean/starbucks huh.. lol.

Ads Galore

singapore is crowded with marketing communications. flyers, posters, lcd screens.. you name it, they got (most of) it. space is so carefully utilised that not even an inch of space is wasted. but sadly, successful ones are rare.

fret not, i'm here to scoop great local ads for you :)

serta mattress ad tweaking the use of classics "sleeping beauty"



ocbc has utilised a not-so-hidden-place-but-conspicuous-with-its-loud-red-colour to play up people's curiosity.

first, you see this red button which innocently says "press here".



but other than that red button, there's nothing else. it raises the temptation to press or not to press the button, 'cause you'd have absolutely no idea what's going to happen next.

so the people belonging to the curious league, you'll see this:



isn't this cool? at least there are more interesting street ads featured in singapore! people are getting more and more creative!

including these people.

one business line you never thought of using advertisements. (i always thought they'd just use word of mouth and will get truckload of business)


no way am i doing free ads for them online. so i blocked their contact number. don't tell you wanna look for them hor!

it's attention-grabbing. i thought i saw a whooping 50 bucks when i first caught sight of it lying on the table. unfortunately, nope.. it's simply one of their promotional gimmick. when did such "financial company" evolve till this stage of using flyers to attract business huh?

but i must say they are quite successful. among the other random flyers in the mailbox asking you to change your window grilles, door, rent/buy flat, woks/pans, tuition, (*insert all other crappy flyer ads in your mailbox).. at least im still amused by this flyer.

aiyaaaaaaaaaa.....

you people are making me tempted to hold a party.

almost everyone is asking me to hold a party - especially tk gang and the mj peeps. i wish i could, but.. there are so many constraints. for years i've not celebrated with my friends on the actual day itself, all because of PSLE/O levels/A levels/Uni exams. sigh.

birthday falls on a sadly, not very happy day
got to mug (my exam starts on 15th, and 16th is a big big exam which i can't afford to flunk)! you people got to mug too right? i don't want you guys to have a "load" in mind while partying eh. isn't really my idea of "fun".

ok.. celebrate earlier?
gahh, i'm still down with project presentations on the last week of school. what a life.. (i'm thinking of 9th/10th nov.. but its near exam period though. urgh)

ok.. celebrate later?
which was my initial idea, like just dining out together. but hmm. i do not know how "late" the gathering will be postponed. my nus buds will just start their exams fever in late nov - early dec. my ntu buds will be down for entrepreneurship minor.. arh. -_- (i'm free after 21st nov. but how about your schedule? let me know..)

then what?!! you are so troublesome!
i.. don't know! i even thought of theme and a cool party venue already! (although the package for the party venue is not very enticing.. but the venue is good) so how? and am i suppose to ask everyone, or be selective? but the clique-ing thing will happen again, and where am i suppose to go?

oh, you are such a bubu!
aiya.. this post is really boring and gay! eeky. it baffles me how you endured all the way here..

when my projs are more or less settled, i will get back to this... (butidontknowwhenwillthatbe..)

it's a birthday - albeit 21st, and i'm making such a great deal out of this whole thing. *roll eyes* you people are going to scream at me. i feel like screaming at myself already. =(

this is random. i just got reminded of my "violent inclinations"..
i love/would love to whack at.. MASCOTS! especially those looking furry and all.

i wrote this post on jan 26 last year, an excerpt:

"after class, we checked out the nbs week -- rapture day 3! lol... we were attracted by the free lunches, $4 movie tix passes and.. the goodie bag!!

and so... along our way to figure out what's going on ard the booth, this mascot (a supposedly street-style, spunky and short [oops!] thingy with 3 strands of erm.. "hair") tapped on my shoulders! i was amused by tt strange looking mascot (cuz it aint cute nor its funky), and i just looked, smiled and turned away, continuing to figure out with my friends where to get goodie bags...

then tt thingy tried to be entertaining.. (i also duno what he/she's doing tho.) he/she persisted to get my attention! then this girl came, supposedly the "spokesperson" for the mascot (the mascot is wearing a big head gear under the hot sun). and according to the spokesperson, he/she is trying to be frens (?!) with me! haha!

then guess what i did, i just whacked the poor mascot! lol! violent inclinations. we almost ended up fighting.. (ok.. tt's abit exaggerated.) she said the mascot wanted to take photo with me. lol! my frens were like so hesitant to take pic together, so i took some time to draggg my frens into the pic with tt strangly looking mascot! lol... after the "pic taking session", the mascot and i "reconciled" with a handshake. so funny right! lol. im still so amused by it!"

by the way, this is the pic of the mascot:



is it me, or simply the mascot just 欠打?! haha.
