Back to the future
Herh? What? I look cute? Thanks. What again? I look abit stressed up? Yups. Kind of. Its not that i cant get to ride my that little red car around or my milk bottle has gone missing la.
I went for a trip to my future and I saw myself at the tender age of 21. No la. Im not upset that Im ugly or what. I look pretty ok. Average(=X). But I seem to be having a breakout then. Then I saw the cause for it!
I saw myself going crazy studying for exams! And it was for an econs paper! I was pulling my hair, screaming in frustration, frantically flipping notes, crazily tryin to memorise formulaes and urgently trying to understand the graphs.
OMG! How?! I was so freaked out I decided to return back to where I am now. At least I still look cute with decent sized eyes. My eyes seemed to have shrunk then. Lots. And I dont need to study.
Now, where are my toys?

1 conqured!
Yehs! 1 paper conquered! 4 more to go! I see the end soon! Yipee!
Realised gloomy is not the way to get through the exams. So I shall be super chirpy! Yeh Yeh Yehs! Haha. Obviously, Im going mad. But as you all know, I was mad to begin with la. Ho.
Anyway, my tuition kid did pretty well for his papers! 80 for his English and 78.5 for his Maths! He actually fared better in his Eng than Maths, which was the better subject all the while! (though the problem sums were abit difficult for him since he had troubles understanding the Eng). Wuhoo! Im so proud of him! Yehs! And of myself too! Any1 out there who wants to be my student?? Haha.
What a pleasant surprise! Shall buy something nice to reward him.
Now, if only I will be able to perform that same feat for my exams. Hmm. . .

Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Wah. Me, a philosopher?! Im highly intelligent?! Okkkkkkkkkkkk. Tell me something i dont know. Yet. Hahahahaha. Yeh! More morale for my paper on sat already! Haha!

Lost?
People dont get lost because they dont know where they are; people get lost not knowing where to head to.
Saw this somewhere and it kind of struck me. With a bat. Haha. Not funny. Anyway, it got me thinking. Lets say Im in a jungle. I want to get out and I KNOW i must head north. But how to when I dont have a compass? So whats the difference of not knowing where we are and where to head to?
Im not sure. Isnt the bottomline of it being : Arent you still lost?
Lets see. Lets take it that I know where I am. Im going to graduate. Im going to find a job. Im going out to the working world.
I want to get a good job. I want to earn enough to satisfy my shopping craves (!), to provide my parents with a comfortable life, provide for my sisters esp my youngest, bless the people around me and lastly, to set up a family and lead a comfortable life. However, I have yet to fully decide on what Im going to do, what Im going to work as. For me, it really is taking one step at a time. Is that equivalent to not knowing where to head to?
But so what if you know where to head to? Nothing is for certain isnt it? Economies boom and go into recession, stock prices rise and fall. People dont keep glued to this figures for no reason. It is because of these uncertainties that people always worry, about their future and life.
Yet, isnt it because of these uncertainties that make us stronger? Make us have more faith in ourself? And most importantly, strengthen our faith in God?
The fact is, yes, we need to plan. We need to plan alot of things. How we want to go about doing things, what we want to do, when to do, where to go about doing them, why we want to do them and of course, who we want to plan with. And here in the little red dot, we definitely need to plan financially. HUGE factor.
But its during this planning that we find God, we find ourselves, we find friends that are true, we find our other half, we find love and we find that we are actually really blessed.
Its a choice of whether we want to stay lost and wait for a map to drop down from the sky. Or we find the map, work our way out. No compass? Fret not. There's the sun. It rises from the east and sets in the west doesnt it? Work it out from there then. A maze always have an exit right? That means, there's always a solution. Inevitably there will be dead ends but we are allowed U-turns arent we? =)
This is a super long entry! And it really is a spur-of-the-moment entry. Guess the thought of me graduating soon has made its impact with this exams. Haha.
So. . are you lost?

Bored
'Fatty'
'Skinny'
As you can see, Im obviously bored. So i decided to sit awhile at my fish tank to say hi to the fishes. Name not supplied by me. Its given, with much love, by my youngest sis.
One more thing. If George Thomson is the Father of Public Relations in Singapore, why is it I cant find anything about him?! Am i searching for the right person?!
Whatever. . If I continue to get stuck here, I will never get a move on! Its at times like this that i wonder why Im majoring in econs. Maybe I should have majored in New Media instead. I seem keener to study this than my econs. Erm. Maybe because my CA marks were HORRID.
"There's a sucker born every minute." P.T Barnum. Dun play play ah. This guy had a major role in the beginnings of Public Relations ok!
Im mad.

Is there some way we can dont pay?! I want to see that tall tree! Though its super artificial, but i love lights!
And when are the Christmas sales starting?! It better start just after my papers. There's a long list of things Im going to do after the exams! Though I dont think I will get down to completing the list. But at least its a motivation for me now to race past the exams!
Or maybe I should cherish this exam period. After all, its my 2nd last exam period Im going to have. Maybe I should relish in this experience for now. Yup. Psycho myself to think that way. I shall not whine about exams.
Exams are good. Exams are good. Exams are good.
What am I saying?!?! Im crazy. Exam madness.
And I think I should go work in STB. Im helping them promote Christmas in Singapore. -__-
Tell someone you love her/him.
It does feel good when a person you have helped is totally appreciative of what you did, despite the inconveniences that you had to go through.
Its not just about saying 'thank you' . Even the simplest 'thanks' means alot when sincerity could be fully felt. And when i know you really meant it and not just saying it for formalities sake.
Lifted my spirits anyway. And reaffirmed me that being able to bless someone is God's blessing to me, and to the people around me.
People are really adorable when asleep. And its nice to be loved. So go to someone that you love (Im not just talking about bf/gfs. Haha.) and let them know how much you care. =)
Just 1 1/2 weeks more and Im free of the exams. Xian Ku Hou Tian.(My chinese is really getting better. I cant stand it. Haha.) Cant wait. Yehs!

The Apprentice 3
In a live event from New York University's Skirball Center in front of a packed house, Tana and Kendra returned to find out who would hear those magic (and rare) words: "You're hired."
Under questioning from Trump, Tana admitted that she had made a mistake by judging her employees and calling them "The Three Stooges." Tana said that she had personally apologized to Kristen, Brian and Chris. Tana added that she always learned from her mistakes. But Trump interrupted and was brutally honest. He told Tana that she faced an uphill battle to become The Apprentice. Trump turned to Kendra and, referring to Kendra's tears as she said goodbye to her employees, told her he didn't like crying and saw it as a sign of weakness. Kendra said that she had seen 300 pound linebackers cry as they raised a Super Bowl trophy in victory - so she was not ashamed. Kendra said that she cried out of great joy and pride. Even Trump admitted that as crying goes, it was a nice moment.
Trump then laid out the two projects that his new Apprentice would have to choose from. The first was to work with The Miss Universe Pageant, dealing with potential host cities and then organizing the event. The second project was to oversee the renovation of Palm Beach Mansion, a 68,000 square foot oceanfront property in Florida. Tana said that if given the choice she would, without a doubt, select The Miss Universe Pageant. Kendra, just as passionate about her choice, said she would take the Palm Beach Mansion project.
Trump then turned to a few others for their input. Kristen praised Tana, but Chris said that he was disappointed with how Tana had insulted her employees on the final task. Chris even went so far as to say that he felt Kendra would be a better fit in the Trump Organization! Erin called Kendra inspiring. Carolyn thought that both candidates were spectacular. However, she was not happy with the way that Tana had talked about her employees. Carolyn was impressed with how Kendra had performed on the final task, but was disappointed that she had waited so long to become a Project Manager. George weighed in and echoed Carolyn's criticism of Tana. But he added that Tana had many brilliant ideas and tons of raw enthusiasm. George criticized Kendra for staying under the radar for so long, but admitted that when Kendra stepped up to the plate, she hit the ball out of the park.
Trump called both candidates winners. But unfortunately, he could only choose one. The Donald told Tana that he didn't like the way she had treated her employees, but he thought that she had truly been a star in all of the previous tasks. Trump was keenly aware of how long it took Kendra to take a leadership role, but thought that she was terrific during the last two weeks - what he called "crunch time." And even though she had cried, Trump was impressed with how Kendra had inspired her employees during the final task. So, the magic words were spoken and Trump said: "Kendra, you're hired!"
Finally a female Apprentice! In fact, the final two were females! Alright! Finally.
Im glad Kendra won anyway. Go Girl.

Counting down
Im blogging again! Im crazy. Am i wasting my time? Waha. No la. Taking a break(ya right).
47 more days to Christmas! Hooray! Cant wait cant wait! Hmm. . actually what i cant wait for is the process of getting ready for Christmas. Early celebration this year. Hopefully NUS dont release the results again at Christmas time. What a spoiler. Eeks.
Last year i could not wait to get out of Singapore and fly away. Need not be far. As long as its out of town. But this time, there is a reluctance to. What a turn of events. =)
And to the Montreal-going peeps, my dear Ros and Hendra. . Im so envious! But at least you both have each other for company(in a way) in a foreign place, not forgetting cold. Worries are more or less diminshed. Hee. Remember to bring back the snow for me!
Off to watch tv. Oops.

Where's the star?
Funny how I seem to be blogging more when its the exam period. Think im cuckoo. Haha. Too bored la. Right Jas? waha. .
I really cant wait for the exams to be done and over with! Then its slack and fun! And Christmas! Have i mentioned I cant wait for Christmas?! *Claps Hands* Think i did. Haha.
Quite amazing how certain people come and go in our lives yet others stay on and become so part of each other's lives. Its certainly quite amazing. Ive always believed God sent these people to us for a purpose. To let us learn, let us experience joy and laughter, pain and hurt, love and care.
I guess most of us have an ideal set of criteria when it comes to people we kind of want in our lives or want to know. Thats pretty much how the world works actually. Sad but true. Im guilty of that too. And I am certainly guilty of reaching for the stars. So far yet try to be silly and think that somehow a star will drop or Ill manage to get one.
Well, it didnt occur to me that stars are already around me. I just didnt open my eyes or rather i chose not to. Always got poked by the stars' sharp ends and yet just brushed them away. But Ive decided to not ignore the pokes of attention. The star may not be the ideal bright shining star;its not perfect or it does not shine as brightly. But. The star did light up my path after all. And still is. And it is the imperfectness that makes it unique.
Counting down to Christmas! =)

Just had a chat and massage session with my sis and i must say.. Thank God for her to keep me sane and me to make her go insane! Haha.
Anyway, exams are creeping nearer and nearer and stress levels are getting higher and higher! Its a wonder Im not going insane yet. Thank goodness momok(s) are around to keep me going.
And then it would be Christmas! Wuhoo! Too bad ill most probably be away during Christmas. And I do so badly want to be here in town during this Christmas period. Oh well, early celebration then. The lights, the CHRISTMAS TREES, the jingles, the atmosphere. . ooo.. im getting all excited! aIts going to be an eventful December! Only thing lacking is snow! Never mind, Ros. . Ull help me play with snow in Montreal right? Of course, Ull most probably might get to see snow with Hendra as well. Thanks ya. Hahaha. .
Pretty pleased with things now (except for the exams), moving on, slowly but surely. Think Im getting past the phase of looking back and going 'What if?'. A long road lies ahead, a future to live for. Say hi to a new life of new joy and happiness. My choice is made.
But yours? Time is passing by fast, the clock is ticking. But get a move on. Getting hung up is really not it. Lamenting on some things that have happened will get you nowhere. What has happened has happened. Dont keep going back to the past and imagine how different things would be if this and that didnt happen. Ok, partly my fault to have added on to that. Sigh. Sorry really is the hardest thing to say.
Of course it will be easier for me to move on. And i totally understand the thoughts and feelings. But reflections and words and no actions equate to nothing. I love to be of help but I cant do anything if you dont help yourself. I care but it frustrates me to see your care and concern transform to self blame. And not just me, but the other people around you really do care too.
Dont let the circumstances rule you, dont let any decision made be the result of a consequence. Do it because you made a choice.
