Temp-Job 2007: EOS Experience Day

Event: EOS Experience Day

Date: 16 & 17 June 2007

Time: 9am - 7pm

Venue: East Coast Park, next to man-made lagoon (cable water ski park)

Activity: Temp-job

The Canon Booth

Last Saturday and Sunday, I went for a 2-days temp-job. The event was not a sale-event, it was an experience day, for photo-enthusiasts to try out some of the lens and camera from Canon. And in celebration of Canon EOS 20th anniversary, and the launch the world's fastest DSLR -- 1D Mark III. (The shuttle go "tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut" continuously. Even the sound make people very excited.) The star camera is the Mark III camera, and a lens that cost $150,000. Yesh de, this is not a typo error, can even buy a car le!

These tripods here are holding on to hundred of thousands dollars of cameras & lens.

My job was basically to look after camera, pass to people who wanna try, and make sure I get it back, and dun let people run away with it. Also, it was a Standing Marathon. Gotta stand from 9am till 7pm. My legs were darn aching, pain argh~. The camera that I was holding on was a EOS400D body, and a 50mm f/1.2 lens. That whole set is about $4000++.

Taken at the Macro corner. Those fruits and flowers are REAL!

And a few pictures of the models...

The breezy East Coast Park

This guy is cool... he got ALOT of tattoos... chucky, R.I.P, Transformer, etc etc.

Pictures of Me and a few (temp) staffs there

Darn~ the camera and lens is good... the colour come out darn nice and vivid. I din even need to edit at all. But after this event, I truly realise that photographers are MAD people. They buy and buy till they are sooo desensitised. $2000+++ to $4000+++ for a lens, is worth it. $7000+++ is still worth it. $40000+++ for a camera also "okay~". Grr~ I shall not let myself become like that.

The Smell of Freedom

Yeah~ Another exam. My fourth General Elective. The "Real" holiday awaits. The smell of freedom!

This morning, when the sky was still a dark dark blue, when the sun had yet to rise. I had already started to embark on my journey to the west. To fight for my freedom!

Just when I thought everything will be smooth, the pain at my head-&-neck became more severe. The pain was felt when I woke up from my short-nap (I got too high the previous night, and couldnt sleep... for some unknown weird reason that I have no idea about). Headache/ neck ache/ shoulder ache has never been new to me... so I thought that the pain is bearable and "okay~".

But on the train, the pain become worst, and abdomen felt churning and blotted, and I feel like Vomiting! I don't want to vomit in the train!!! And this time, the mrt is no where near Boon Lay. I gave up revising for the exam, and rested, with tissue paper on one hand, and plastic bag on another, preparing for the worst to happen.

"Next stop: Chinese Garden"..... " Lakeside"..... "This train is terminating at Boon Lay..."

You cannot imagine how excited I was to arrive at Boon Lay. I rushed out, and found my way to the toilet... tried vomiting, but a failed attempt. I then continue my journey to school. At the same time, messaged H to bring me Panadol or 保济丸. I was definitely glad I reached the school.

When I reached school, the pain continued, but the vomiting sensation slowly fade off. Deep inside, I prayed silently (to dunnoe who also) for countless number of time, that if anything is to happen, let it happen after my exam. I dun want to retake another time. I took a panadol, and go ahead with the exam, of course, carrying with me the plastic bag (just in case I vomit).

Thank god! I finished the exam without feeling much pain or vomit.

After the exam, I went to the medical center to see doctor. Dots! The doc gave me so lame advice.... "put a hot pack on your neck". Apart from that, I was given drug for dizziness and vomit. (I can also be a doctor le... ) Nothing was said about what happened, the underlying reason, and why I "almost" fainted the other day.

Nevermind... I am feeling better after resting. Oh! Thank you H for the life-saving Panadol and JB for waiting for me to see doc and driving me to Jurong Point. Me arrived home safe and sound!

Almost Fainted

I "almost" fainted this afternoon.

After waking up from a doze-off-from-notes, I walked out of my room. While walking, I felt dizzy, and feel like vomiting. So I walked very fast to the toilet. I tried to induce vomiting, but nothing came out.

(I had a dilemma whether to sit on the toilet bowl or stand and vomit, cause the stomach feel swirly too. That's the problem with this type of toilet bowl. When one feel has diarrhoea and vomit, it is a difficult choice).

I gave up vomiting in the end. While in the toilet, the dizzy sensation became even stronger.

Vision spinning and blur.

Nauseousness continue.

My legs wobbly, and I walked like a drunken man.

I hurried out of the toilet, to the sofa and lied down. There, I began to perspire, cold sweat drenched me. I called for the only other person at home ... my evil bro... "ZH~" (in a utterly weak voice). he responded "Yes?". But I do not have strength to reply what happened to me. (evil bro didnt came out to check out on me... grrr~).

I continue to sweat and lay helplessly. Until about 20min later. I recovered a little. I sat up, and continue resting. At this point, standing position still made me dizzy. Finally, I felt better about another 15min later. I sms-ed sheep when I got better... and yes, I got a round of good nagging from sheep... asking to see doctor and take care of myself. Now I wonder why I sms-ed sheep, to get myself nagged???!!! Roar~

Human are so weak. So fragile. So helpless. And when I am at my weakest, and most helpless, I couldnt even shout for help. When help is in fact "that" close.

What causes the "almost" fainted incident? Good question! I have no idea.

But if you are considering another round of nagging, spare me. I am alright now. Alive and kicking. No worry friends!

Results?

This is a hectic week... wave after wave of emotions, decision, result, waiting-result, hope, lost-hope, to-do and yet-to-do.

Yes, result for year2 sem2 was released today midnight. Not much feelings bout the results, as I haven been thinking about it previously. There are no "worst case scenario" or "expect scenario" or "best scenario" postulation before hand. So when I saw the grades. I accepted. In fact, this was the best result I have gotten in uni so far. I should be happy. But as usual, there are always little imperfections. Which leave room for me to continue improving. Which is good.
(heard that most people done well too... three cheers!)
(Oh, shall thank some people here, the various exam-helplines, online roaring-and-grumbling-sufferers etc. If you think you are one of them ,yesh de, you are!)

Perhaps there are still things that leave me hanging and swirly-mind now. Seem like there are nothing much I can do at this moment, apart from studying for my coming special sem exam...

Thanking and Praying

Legend of the Sea Movie Premiere

On the day I came back from chalet, without much sleep, me went to The Charity Movie Premiere of 东海战 @ Vivocity.

This is the first time I attended a movie premiere, and thanks to invitation from Jieying. Although it was a last minute invitation, it is a rare chance, so me went ahead despite the dark-eye-rings, sneezy-nose and quiz-next-day.

Apart form the main highlights 林俊杰，林宇中，and 金莎, who dubbed for the animation. Few celebrities spotted include: 姚懿姗，江承熹, 杜卉萍, 许环良, 史心莹, etc...

My eyes are watery and nose as red as reindeer.

Jieying and Yao Yi Shan

Oh~ forgot to mention, we are sitting right in front, 1st row!! of the huge cinema. Not the best place for watching movie, but the best place to take picture of them 3, that's why i manage to snap at close distance!

Chalet 5June07

Round of Applause for 1st ATP Chalet!!! (*Clap Clap Clap*)

Yesh! On 5th June 2007, full members of ATP plus visiting scholar Liming had our first chalet at Coasta Sand. Main activity of the day is cycling at Pasir Ris Park, Steamboat, and Mahjong...

ATP + visiting scholar

This is also in concurrent with CS and TK's birthday celebration. CS turned 22 and TK going-to-turn 23. And so, we had a chocolate mousse cake with 22-and-half candles.

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU~~~

Birthday Boys

Quotes of the day are as follow:

• 八个人!!!


• 做大事的人就不要扭扭捏捏!


• 暧昧~~

Scoop of the Day: The 暧昧 Report

On that fine day, all sorts of ai-mei combi appeared. Almost all the permutation and combinations of the 八个人 are simulated. Such as:

• LM-CS, LM-SZ, LM-ZR (All from the Romantic double bike ride)


• SZ-JY (as always...)


• CS-JY, CS-TK, JY-TK (the Complicated 暧昧-三角关系)


• SZ-CY-PE-teacher (Aiyo~~)


• CY-SZ-JY-TT-H-TK-CS (OMG!!! the world is soooo confusing!)

暧昧~~

Oh, mentioned in my previous post bout my 感言 of chalet... suddenly I feel lost at words. Maybe in short it is just very nice and 温馨 (like SZ said), to have "八个人" gather and have fun. Who would have thought that we would met each other? From different part of Singapore (East, West, North), different part of the world (S'pore, M'sia, Indonesia, China), different background, different personality, different height (opps... no specific...hahha). ok... it is supposed to be "in short", shall end here.

Happy Birthday once again! Hope that all enjoyed.

**(Special Thanks to chiuseng for the photos!!!)**

如果终究失去震撼，但愿刻画震撼的脚印。

Potato Couch Cut Hair

Yoz!

This is the time of the year when me become a full time potato couch. Although there is special semester to fill 2 days of the week... the rest of the five days are still... hememmppff...

Picture from: www.qualitylogoproducts.com/stress-balls

So, today potato couch decided to have an after lunch activity -- Cut my own Hair! Not the first time I cut my own hair, I ve been cutting them whenever I feel like it, or when they become too heavy for my puny brain to endure. Yup yup, from minor trim to major cut, I ve been there, done it. Today's should be considered intermediate-cut. Not too major cut, but neither too minor trim.

Initially, potato couch have a few options. 1) Cut it REAL short to shock everyone. 2) Cut it shorter. 3) Dun bother bout it for the entire holiday + entire of remaining year.
But major chemical treatment is out of story, cos I dun think it can take it anymore. Now is the time for it to grow and renew, which is to grow new cells and cut off the Nth year old dead cells. And among these, there are two options again, a) cut myself and b) let someone else cut for me. In the end, potato couch decided to cut myself. Reason is simple enough to be guess. Save $$$. Anyway, potato couch is always 低调 and not 抛投露面, so it doesnt really matter.

Mass-Spoilage

This is an extremely difficult period of time for my family and me. My house is experiencing a period of Mass-Spoilage.

First is my Hi-Fi system that had succumbed to the previous chilling cold “winter” (remember the days when Singapore rain and rain for the entire month(s)?). As owner as hi-fi / TV, my hi-fi and TV might be the only electronics that is very afraid of coldness, they need to be kept warm all the time, either by staying in standby-mode, or covered with blanket. Next is the TV, which never gives up and endured till the very last moment. (I am so proud of you. My one and only 无可取代 TV). Then came the home computer, whose power supply gave in.

From This:

The emptied table... All my TV and hi-fi got sold to karanguni.

3 Big Box for packaging the new stuffs.

To This:

The newly set-up TV and Home theatre set.

If you think that is all, no! Not only are the electronics in the Mass-Spoilage Act. Also in the force are my shoes, which I realized was in a state that I had to throw it down the rubbish chute, the day before I need it. And of course, there are more, my brother’s shoes, my mum’s shoes, my dad’s shoes, and the ultimate toilet paper holder. Yes, toilet paper holder in the toilet is spoilt too. How much more can I say?

In event of Workers’ Strike, the Employer has a few options… 1) Accept the workers’ demand/ grant them pay-rise etc, 2) Ignore their demand and fire them (hire whole new batch of people), and 3) Negotiation to obtain (ideally) win-win situation, or compromise from both parties.

Obviously, the third option is out for my case, I can’t negotiate with the spoilt-stuff. The first don’t seem to work as well, they demand nothing, and I can’t do anything left to savior the situation. So left is the second option. In short, the situation can be represented by the following equation:
Mass-Spoilage = -(Thrown away spoilt_stuff) + (Buy in new_stuff)
= Net $$ spent

To add on to the replacement of spoilt stuff, I also need to buy new bookshelf for my ever increasing amount of notes+books+files. The amount of notes+books+files continues to increase and accumulate over each semester. Ironically, the amount of knowledge that is present in my head remains a constant, in another word, net accumulation equals zero (aka. Steady State!)
Accumulation of notes+books+files > 0
Accumulation of knowledge in JY = 0

Furthermore, I will need a chair to go with my study table. Interesting fact, I do not have study table for the past 20 years of my life. All these time I study in front of my beloved TV, at a short little coffee table, in the living room. Until I begin my stay in school. And I start to wonder how I survived that. Now that I am back home, I realize I need to have a study table and chair.

Ok… this is getting abit long-winded and draggy. So what is the main point?? Take home message here is (ok… if you are already home, make it stay home message):
I am Broke. The Mass-Spoilage Act is draining me (and my family) of our vitamin M.
(Deprivation of Vitamin M(oney) results in weak mental health, bad temper, occasional 碎碎念/ mumbling/grumbling, weight-loss, serious deprivation can result in hallucination).

ROAR!!!!!!

I wanna RRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRR~

Now is 12:33am. I know "most" mankind should be sleeping now... but I am no normal mankind! I am "girl-unkind"... or if you wanna say.... "woman-unkind". Why do I still have to be deprived of my holiday entertainment and MY-lifestyle?

Why does Parents and Nagging always come in a package? ok... I am pretty immune to nagging and scolding and whatever you call it. But excessive really can get me irritated sometimes... (like my evil bro says).

And I must also agree... (my fault I know)... I do get over obsessive sometimes. Obsessiveness seems like a double edged sword to me. It can take up all my time and soul, engulf me, blind me of other things, but it can also make me excel in things I am really passionate about (at least in some areas I believe).

But that's not the point... Now is my holiday! I haven really rested for a long time. Whole-heartedly do want I want to do. Why do I need to be nagged by a himself-never-grow-up-old-man-gonnabe?

And this strike me once again... How am I going to cope with staying home in coming sem(s)? I have been relatively free in sch for the past sems. HOW???!!!

I know I know.... parents do all these for my own good. they care, that's why. and I should cherish all these. I KNOW.

Pardon me... Just let me Roar for the time being. Let me ROAR inside, let me roar within, like I have always did. I ll be fine in awhile time. No worries... just wanna type abit and release the Roary-feelings. I ll be fine. I ll be happy home and smiley soon. And I ll get over my obsession pretty soon too. I hope.

~~~~~~RRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR~~~~~~~

Silence

Bear with me... I simply cannot stop myself...

Latest holiday activity is to seclude myself and watch Silence 深情密码.
(Can I scream?? please~) 很好看！！！ 很好看，很好看，很好看！！！

ok~ I know this drama is not exactly "new", it is released in Taiwan in 2006. but, as usual, Singapore audience never get to watch new and nice shows until Nth years after, or sometimes not even after Oth years after. So... after 2 semesters of hectic + horrible busy-ness... I finally have time to catch up my long want-to-watch show.

and I admit again, the plot is kinda cliche, abit like korean drama, where (at least) one of the main actor (actress) has to die of some cancer (leukemia/ lung cancer/ blood cancer/ this time is liver cancer). Maybe cause the actress is a korean, so the plot sort of become very korean also.

BUT! that's not important at all! Important is... the actor this time is not some "tiny-eyes-plastic-surgery-pencil-sharp-nose-that-never-stop-crying-guy". This is big eyes and real handsome zaizai周渝民. He is faintingly帅 (*Faintz Faintz*). Dun care if you laugh at my obsession bout him... is a real pleasure to watch him. hahah!!!!!

so... while I am still in process of 追看中... please bear with my occasional screaming and multiple exclamation marks. hahah! following is some snapshots of the drama, from www.chinatv.com.tw/event/2006/silence

Angela's Campus Showcase

Yoz!

ok! i am so glad the tips from Blogger employee (Jordan) works. Thank you!!! i can see my "testing testing post" haha! ok...! this is the first getaway from books and notes since holiday start.

Event: Angela 张韶涵 <<梦里花>> Campus Showcase.

Venue: Singapore Polytechnic Auditorium

Date & Time: 7th May 2007 @ 6pm

Attendence: Me & JY. (another JY, not me)

Due to some delay in sch, I reached SP at 5pm, meet my fren JY and start our 1st visit to SP. ahah! Start of "SP之旅". We had a light snack and went off for the 校园演唱. oooh~~~ so excited!!!

Looking at those poly students, we couldnt help but feel OLD~ I guess poly students are mostly about 16 to 20 years old. In this foreign place, instead of looking blur and tourists, i came up with the idea of acting freshies. That would be 16 or 17 years old. "JY! LET'S ACT FRESHIES!!!"

Because I won the tix, we got to sit all the way at the front. Although that wasnt my first attempt sitting rrriiiiight in front, but sitting comfortably (in a school-not-mine), chatting with friend, while others scurry here and there is quite enjoyable. hahah!

and finally... angela appear... she is sooo tiny... but sing as good as the CD. low light plus couldnt zoom that far... so the pic are abit blur...

After a few songs and games with the audience, angela had a autograph session for her 改版专辑. While she's doing that... JY & JY sneak near to the stage and stalk for 丁志勇 to appear. hahha! cos JY (my friend), wanted to take photo with mr. woohoo! and.....

We Succeed....!!!

After this photo with zhi yong, we went out of the auditorium. on the way out, we come across this "adidas girl" (she s wearing a t-shirt with Adidas printed at the back), who stole away the poster sticking on the wall outside the audi. The student helper then took the mic and call for her... "Hey that girl! You cannot take the poster!!! Hey Adidas girl! Come back Come back! Return the poster!" (and the Adidas girl simply too shy to walk back, she continue walking off... not even showing her face to the poor student.) Me and JY stood and watch in amusement. We look at each other and go... "OPPPS~~~ HAHAHAHHA!!!"

Outside the auditorium, we-who-try-to-act-freshies took a few pictures.

(At this point of time... i am wondering if i should upload the freshies-wannabe(s) photos. mmm... *ponder ponder*... ok... one each then!)

My Friend JY

That's me!

Finally~ Testing testing

Testing testing...

Been very pek-chek cos i cant blog. check out blogger discussion forum and realise that this seem to be a problem related to singnet user. argh~~~ and come about a few ways that "might" help for the time being... so here s a trial post. if this is ok... i ll post.

testing testing... testing 1.2.3...

I Guess

Battle Field -- Level 4 -- Stage 5 -- I Guess I Guess I Guess Guess Guess

Last instalment of Battle Field Level 4. After a couple of days recuperating at the land of far far away, EEY AIJ HOP became slacken mentally. It became especially tough to regain the drive and agressiveness.

So, in a real relax pace... it prepare for the final battle... in its mind is all the wonderful things that it want to do after the battle.

The battle itself was in a relax pace as well... no rushy-ness... but a guessing game for EEY AIJ HOP. Guess??? yesh... guess that is... lack of preparation, a slacken mind, it couldnt remember all it needs to... and everything seemed like a mist of blurry. In situation like this, guessing is the only thing to do.

Nevermind the result (for now). EEY AIJ HOP left. After about a month of seclusion in "Pulau Bukit NTU", the time has finally come to declare the end of seclusion. (Yes, I know Pulau is island and Bukit is hill, but that just serves to emphasize how Ulu the place is. )

With all its things packed, EEI AIJ HOP 离开这个伤心地, and set its journey to the land of far far away. To the place where everything beings, a place where it started out, a place it wants to belong, a place where it can wear pajamas and jump around but nobody would give a glance.

Yup, my job is done. After this final instalment of Battle Field Level 4, the next level should only arrive some time much later. (hahah! Preview: Inbetween there might be a special level... Level 4.5... hahha) In the meantime... I would be updating on my holiday and also maybe some 散文. Haven write for a long long time, so should take some time to complete. Till then, if I think it is appropriate enough, I will post, otherwise, the articles shall just sit in my lappy.

no time

argh~~ no time no time... how come so many things to do???

me just caught the smell of freedom bout 8hours ago... and i have no time to write my final episode of this season's battle field...

this is what i have been doing for the passed 8hours:

8.00-9.15pm - rush back and watch tv... cos Cai Min You is on channelU (sooo cute lo!!!.. ok this is not the focus... shall not side track)

9.20-12.30am - came back and started msn-ing. and the msn lasted for a long long time... hahha... at peak, i was chatting with bout 8persons, different content and topic. oh! plus sms-ing one more.
within this time... i was too hungry that i started munching on bread. cos i had only ate half a plate of rice at 1pm (to avoid being too full and brain lag)... all the way till 12.30am!

12.30am - i declare that i need to eat, so i got my post-exam-feast of instant noodle..

1.00am - i log off and bath...

1.15am - back from bath and started packing for tml big runaway... and i pack n pack n pack n sneeze n sneeze... so dusty... hahah! until now!!!!

4.10am - i declare that i shall stop... leave the rest till tml... i have finish the major stuff... left a little pantry corner to be clear and my laptop and its friend-printer (cos i still need to use now)

4.10-420am - i am blogging... main point in this blog is to say that i am very busy and grumble bout the mass transfer term paper that i have to compile and edit now.

ok... now is the time... roar~~~~~ anyway... i ll get my final battle field up tml or day after tml. haha!

Bad. Very Bad

Battle Field -- Level 4 -- Stage 4 -- Bad. Very Bad.

This is the second last report for battle field series, a very disheartening one. I witness EEY AIJ HOP stumbled and fell, injured and bled, I see the broken hand and leg. I see how it tries to savior the situation till the very last second -- to no avail.

As predicted, the combined attack by "Kind & motherly-but-no-longer" and "He who think he is merciful" is formidable.

So much so for EEY AIJ HOP's stress and backache the night before the battle, the pain endured did not pay back. The once optimistic EEY AIJ HOP lost hope and faith once again. "No mankind is kind" -- it strongly believe.

Right now, EEY AIJ HOP just want to recuperate from the badly injured battle, in it's most familiar place, the place where it call home. The place where it knows it will be safe and peaceful. A place far away from battle field.

Till the next battle, it shall endure.

Shooting Star

just a random note... cos it thought this is special enough for me to put it down...

I "think" I saw a shooting star just now! while on the phone outside N1.3 BIE building. Maybe it is just me having 眼花 after all the horrible staring at notes. But, alot of things are up to the believer. I choose to believe it is not yan-hua, is a REAL shooting star.

And RJgg also say it is quite common to see shooting stars. AND there's a group of meteorites right now. (saw it on yahoo news, but forgot details le) supposedly one can see bout 30-45 swiping across the sky in an hour... provided good weather and right location of cos. So there is a strong reason, both scientifically and psychologically, for me to believe that I am not that old and blurry-eyes,... yet.

consider myself lucky, cos the weather was infact quite foggy and cloudy, even after the heavy rain. abit scary to stay in there at this late night all alone (ok, there's two other girls whom i dunnoe outside mugging. but in the comp lab... i m all alone.)

right now... i ve to get back to mugging for CRE, the final internal battle. after that will be the last external battle (if u know what i mean). nvm... time for me to get back mugging. maybe i ll sleep "early" later. Nitez!

Battle Field - Unpredictables. Misinterpret. Shivers.

Battle Field -- Level 4 -- Stage 3 -- A Battle of the Unpredictables and Shivers

Third battle of the series. All the way from yesterday, EEY AIJ HOP had been browsing through the martial manuals in a relax tempo. That's because today was an open-everything battle... bring in one tonne of papers and book if you wish to. And so, nothing to memorise about.

As for the opponent, is the all time scary Unpredictable-Prof. His strength is to STUNNED his opponent with Never-See-Before-Attacks. and so, there is nothing much EEY AIJ HOP can do, except to know all its own stuff and imagine all the possible scenarios. It even became a little paranoid trying to think of all the worst scenarios.

The battle place was cold-but-not-too-cold, and somehow, EEY AIJ HOP was nervous, the thought of an unfinished battle kept hovering on it's head. Then, it's hands start to shiver, while the body felt warm. trying very hard to juggle all the things around it with a pair of shivery hands. (*Shiver Shiver*)

Battle today was not as bad as it imagine. Unpredictable Prof did not give TOO Stunning-Attacks. (or maybe because "it" has already experienced the worst, so not as stunned as previous encounters) But all the attacks need endurance to defense. SOOO TEDIOUS argh! It had barely enough time to complete the battle.

But not everything was as smooth as you think. EEY AIJ HOP realised it misinterpreted an attack (after everything ended of course), and therefore wrong response was given... SOBZ SOBZ :(

Hmm... that was sad, because that is supposed to be a simple one. TOO BAD... Only itself to blame for being careless (for the Nth time, in donkey years) The one-eye-paste-stamp syndrome never seem to be cured... and I promise I hate AIJ HOP for that. I suppose the one-eye-paste-stamp illness is so complicated that no known cure are available for it to date. Till the syndrome disappear one day, I can only pray for EEY AIJ HOP that it doesnt recur again (or at least not so often).

Got Double Dose SHOCKED

Battle Field -- Level 4 -- Stage 2 -- Kena SHOCKED

Today EEY AIJ HOP had a second battle. Battle of the Environment and sinful human. "It" got quite freaked out before the battle cos there s so much martial arts manual to read and MEMORISE! and memorising is definitely not its forte. But fortunately, seem like "THE FORCE" did stayed with it for today. the opponent wasnt strong. so most ppl manage to defeat it with relative ease (at least compared to the previous Mr.Nice-but-no-longer and Mr.Evil-forever, and up coming evil monsters).

Anyway... that is not the main story of todays news report on The Battle Field. The side story is.... EEY AIJ HOP got double dose of SHOCKED. and as mentioned, this battle involves alot of memorising... shocking is definitely not good for memorising work. the story goes like this...

1st Dose -- Mild Dose:

Middle of the night, while it was memorising the thick stack of manuals... it's roomie started mumbling ALIEN language. I promise it is a non-terrestrial language. (must be extra terrestrial!!!).

it goes like this... &(@#&#)@^$&amp;^%*(;amp;@*#)!p;amp;*(@)))*#^#!!$^#Y#*$%($%#)(@(@&)!_!!(@))#$^$(%)<>?*^(^*()(*&^>

GRRR~~~~ Scared EEY AIJ HOP decided to be brave and stopped the roomie from continuing... using its highly intelligent IQ and random response ability, it spoke... "erm... u can off the lights if u want." Luckily... that REALLY stopped the alien language.
GRRR~~~ shock-ked~

2nd Dose -- Heavy Dose:

In the midst of final preparation for battle in the afternoon... it was all FOCUS trying to remember everything. The room was quiet.... and suddenly BANG!!!!! ARGHHH!!!!!

EEY AIJ HOP was SHOCK-KED again... this time much more shocked than the 1st time. Before it knows... the weird roomie started JUMPING UP & DOWN behind. SHOCK-KED + PUZZLED... it decide to ignore her.

Anyway, if u are curious what happened... she got herself her job for the holiday. So when she saw the email (i think), there comes the LOUD BANG, followed by ARGH!!!! (argh for quite long...) then "I GOT THE JOB!!!!" (and finally followed by "it" shocked face)



From past experimental results have tells us that knowledge has extremely low affinity for the brain. Any turbulent or change in surrounding conditions (temperature, pressure, pH, stress level, velocity etc etc...) will cause a irreversible detachment of these knowledge particles from the brain. So... It decided that... if it cannot win the Battle... it will be the roomie's fault. For the double dose shock has intrigue memory lost.

End note: Although I know that EEY AIJ HOP's roomie will be reading this, But as a PROFESSIONAL reporter for the Battle Field... Nothing Shall be Hidden, The Truth Shall be Uncovered, In the Name of Sun and Moon Shall Vow.

Midst of Battle

Battle Field -- Level 4 -- Stage 1

Minute-Peanut-Puny-Micro-Nano-Brain-EEY AIJ HOP had a battle today... and it* can still see the blood oozing from its wounds. The opponent today is combine force from the Mr. Nice-but-no-longer and Mr. Evil-forever. Not enough to make it die... but badly injured.

How disappointing.... Mr.Nice is no longer nice. That truly reflect my 嘉仪名言: 没有Prof是好人! No matter what... sooner of later... the nice one will be overtaken by the dark forces. before you know it, they ll be wearing all black and breathing like Darth Vader. (*Breath-in Breath-out*).

Picture from www.rabittooth.com

Anyway... me is real busy now... no time to get snip shots of battle into Wu Liao series. will only do that when i am free-er. after all the nightmare most probably.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH ME~ (*pray pray*)

End note
* Because i dunnoe EEY AIJ HOP is a male or a female or something else... so i decided to call it "it" for the time being. hahha

You Lose

Today I was defeated. Yes, AGAIN.

I dunnoe why, but it is just so. The most irritating part? ... to realise the solution just after everything is over.

Somehow, this picture keep appearing in my head (for the past one year). So now I drawn it, The Wu Liao series (part 5): You Lose

For those who understood this picture, no need for more explanation. I dunnoe how many share the same feeling, but this definitely depicts myself.

Feel it

I FEEL IT once again.

When I feel it, it means the time has come.

"Backache + Neckache + Headache"

the traditional 3-in-1 package, with extra toppings of

"Heavy eyelids + High frequency yawning + High affinity to bed"

And, midnight special of

"Tooth ache" for special guest.

Rainy day

今天下了一场大雨。大得看不清前方，大得让人有一点害怕。
但是我喜欢雨天。当然，那是在我有安全庇护的前提下。

大大的雨点好像在为大地洗澡，用最原始的方式让恢恢蒙蒙的空气，大地，建筑，和人们，再次亮起来。经过一场洗礼，好像一切都苏醒了。

大雨让人看不清远方。这样的朦胧感觉自己特别有安全感，可以尽情地把情绪表露在脸上。
大雨声加上更大的雷声掩盖了人们的声音。感觉自己可以想说什么就说什么。不会有人听见吧？

有时候，感觉雨点是在为我哭泣。是他感受到我的心情吗？还是纯粹巧合？他的心情也不好吗？
还是，他只是让别人看不见我，听不见我，在他的掩护下，让我可以做回自己。仿佛生命最原始的一股力量在陪伴着我。那一刻，我不孤独。

(hmm... become abit sentimental whenever it rains. 虽然华文不是很好，但是，中文字还是最能表达我的心情。)

Yo!

Yo Yo Yo!

Evan Yo 蔡旻佑 (Cai Min You)... recently got really absorbed into his songs. that's why i decided to recommend his album here. He released his 1st album "19" last year, in October. Album titled "19" because he was 19 years old then (20 now... and he is only 4days younger than me).

Cos i haven been listening to radio for a long time, so sort of lost track with pop musics. all the way till CNY this year, saw a new year special programme, he was one of those performer, and suddenly thought that his songs are nice.

and i started listening to his entire album, it was very nice, from 1st track till the last. and is the kind that i ll like more as i listen to it more.

even more impressed after reading some biblio about him!

he started learning classical music at age of 5. he knows how to play violin (major), piano (minor), guitar, drum, and flute (envy envy~). he got into his university being 1st in violin and piano in the entrance exam. (double champion lo~~). his mum being a vocal teacher, taught him singing since young. more amazing, he composed all the 12 tracks in his album. he was producer for some of it also. (so talented~~)

you might think, how was he discovered. well, taiwan's local king Jacky Wu Zong Xian, found him when he was 14 years old. he sign contract with wu zong xian and waited for 5 yrs before releasing his ablum (long long wait). right now, he is SonyBMG 's 强打新人. in good hands i supposed, cos Sony bmg really knows how to publicise, promote and package new artists. letting the public knows him is definitely important for a 新人. no matter how talented, if nobody knows him, there ll be no success in the music industry.

He came to singapore to promote his album now (from tues till today), couldnt go and listen to him live because i am stucked in school. but ppl... look out for him. i believe he ll make it. he ll become famous lo... already a 新人王 in taiwan, he ll make his way to rest of asia.

Those who wanna listen to his album can visit these sites:

搜狗 - www.sogou.com and type in 蔡旻佑

typical love songs (very KTV style): 城外，我可以，我想要说，旋转门

his special style of rock and sci-fic: 梦不落帝国，超人不在家，8Bits，Can You Hear Me

轻快的: 翻不完的夏天，简单

Personally, i really ENVY of ppl who are talented. somehow, my parents did not let me learn anything when i am young. i really knows nothing. no talent at all!!! when i complained to them, they said that it was for my own good (not give me pressure and let me enjoy my childhood). they assume that i couldnt take care of myself, let alone learn stuff. moreover, learning music is very expensive (i din specify i wanna learn music lo). hmpf, not to the extend of pressurising, but exposure and let me learn something i like. really nothing. that s why often, i felt a sense of inferior when i see my peers who are sooo multi-talent.

Children are just like a piece of BIG BIG sponge. They can absorb alot, and learn alot. We shouldnt let this golden learning period be wasted. I always believe that exposing children to the world, and let them explore their interest. What learnt shall stay, no robber or theft can steal it away.

So accurate test

Saw this on TK's blog, it is a super simple test, just choose the colour you like. and amazing... it is so accurate, at least for this moment.

Colorgenic (http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/cg/)

At this time you are feeling 'uptight' and you are urgently in need of rest and relaxation; but perhaps even more than that you need to overcome that feeling that you have been 'hard done by' and treated with a complete lack of consideration. Maybe you have, but whatever may have been the cause of your inherent anxiety, you regard the situation as intolerable. Your are, however, sufficiently competent to turn that situation around - you have overcome similar problems in the past, and really this one isn't too different.You seem to lack the energy of late to get up and go. Your objectives appear to be unattainable and no one seems to care. You feel lost, neglected and need some W.T.C. (Warm tender care).You are not an argumentative sort of person and 'rather than fight - you'd switch' (an old cigarette ad cliche). But when you try to assert yourself - as sometimes you may try to do - you meet with so much resistance and effrontery that manifests itself so obviously that you become hurt, indignant and resentful. So in order to have peace and quiet you tend to become inhibited. You keep it all to yourself but deep down, you 'feel' and 'hurt' a lot.For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.

If you know... my msn nick says "no mankind is kind". what a strong reflection of that. and i am seriously tired.

Getting slim

This is a real hectic week... so hectic, i m lost at what to do.

Anyway, on the way back to hall, was chatting with suppie and decided to put my nonsense idea into another The Wu Liao series. here is it.

Today~ Tired~ Tech Comm~

Today is a real roller coaster day... this is how it goes...

i begin waking up really sleepy. sooo sleepy and drowsy. and i can feel my 1kg eyelids putting extreme pressure on me. and e weight just get heavier. BUT! i cannot continue sleeping, cos today, we need to present our tech comm project (or not i dunnoe).

and so i crawl out of my bed, and back in, and out again, and in again, and out finally.
After all the struggle... finally i left my room for sch, and i thought i am late for lesson. and i took sbs bus instead of sch shuttle bus.

the struggle with e heavy eye lids just continue. to my surprise, i saw my comrades, SZ and ZR are also busy battling wth their eyelids. finally the lesson are over...

the break is another fierce fight, between mass tut and presentation rehearsal and blurness and time. luckily, TK, L & his gf settled the mass tut.

With three pairs of heavy eye lids, one blocked nose, one charcoal-burnt skin, one painful blister on the foot and many uncertainties, 6 "black-warriors" set for the final battle.

We did well i guess, given all the blurness we are in today. unprepared and worried. lost and nervous, roary in side and trembling outside.

At least all are over now. i just feel like taking a nap. and if u have realise by now, i dunnoe what i am typing. "let the finger do the walking", maybe that s what i m doing.

1...2...3... zzz... ZZZ...

有些话，就是开不了口。

当面问吗？但是两人之间的和谐很有可能永远的被破坏。

继续猜疑吗？但是天天见面的猜疑真得很难受。

不因为什么，只因为信任不存在了。

一切单纯的事情，都被蒙上一层阴影。

不喜欢带着有色眼镜看人，但是当你没办法再像从前那样单纯的相信时。

一切都不一样了。

事实到底是什么？我想，我永远都不会懂。

没有人会说。没有人肯开口。没有人会自己搓破自己的谎言。

而我，也不想说。

就只能熬到底吧。然后不见面。那就是最好的。

让自己慢慢淡忘一切。希望有一天我能忘记那层灰蒙。

再以平常心看待。

但那会是很久以后。

现在，我没办法。除非，有人打破沉默。

但是那人，一定不是我。

懦弱也罢。猜疑也罢。一定不是我。

时间真的能摸去历史的残影吗？

真的能忘记？还是原谅？

还是。。。陌路人的一切，都不干我的事？
