kill me....

sighz.. i can't remember medicine names.. all the funny funny spellings... medicine have different properties, some grouped together.. Those grouped together might have not similar spelling though!! Then diff properties for diff illnesses... bleah bleah bleah.. cannot remember... Luckily i put s/u for my module... pass can liao... Have to rely on my recognition since it's true-false.. Heng ah.. But not so easy leh.. Got negative marking....

bleah.. i can't imagine how i'll survive the essay exam in nov..

parent-child relationship

i dunno why, but just before i slept last night, a thought came into my mind...

1) Would it better for children to have a mother who's working or housewife?
2) Are children much closer to their working mothers or house-mothers?

I'm not sure of the answers, but to me, it seems that housewives might be better... Assuming that working at home doesn't exist (since it's not very common), mothers at home are more able to communicate and teach their kids. They will also know more about their kids and take care of them. So, children should learn more with mothers at home, and in turn be closer...

To me, mothers shld stay at home to teach.. But let's say if I ever become a mother, would I quit my job? Currently, I think it's good to work leh... Any girls out there would quit their job next time to be full-time mother??

Another reason for qn 2... Maybe I'm just bias, but it seems that friends around me are closer to their moms/family if their mothers do not work. Can I do a survey here? Does ur mom work? How close do u feel to her? (1 is not close to 7 is very close)? Any other comments or you have more friends who are closer to their working moms?

mamma mia

i watched mamma mia yesterday!! *grin* musicals are nice... people can sing, can dance, can act.. surely a great performance! I am not very good with ABBA's songs.. Can recognize most songs, mainly by chorus only.. Can't sing along very much, but who cares! Still watched mamma mia... appreciate the way they put the songs into the plot.. very nice very nice.... At the last few minutes of the show, the group of us (plus quite a number of others) stood up and clapped and moved to the beat! Anyway, my favourite songs are 'dancing queen', 'mamma mia', 'i have a dream', 'super trooper' & 'thank you for the music'!!

For those who are interested, can get the student tickets lor... 65 bucks but the best seats.. Or actually I think the 20 or 25 bucks seats are fine too... Just dun get the seats totally at the side

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I’ve missed you

Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know,

My my, I could never let you go.

三更 Part 2

Just returned from 三更 Part 2. Watched it cause my friends wanted to.. Think it's my first horror movie ever since 'The Ring'... Oh yes, and it's my first R21/RA show!! Wow...

Anyway, about the movie.. I didn't watch part one. Part 2 has 3 short stories in Korean, Chinese and Japanese. Don't think it was much of a horror movie though. Korean one is the scariest of the lot.. But halfway in the show, I was trying hard to figure wat the plot is. If you've watched it and understood, tell me.. As for chi and jap stories, not horror lah.... Just a little disgusting here and there.....

Oh, I was trying hard not to laugh during the Chinese one.. Just giggling in my seat.. Don't read on if u dun wanna know what scene. The scene has this actor who broke his leg and leg's in plaster cast. In actual fact, he was filming with a fake leg in the cast! So there is an actor with a fake plastered leg hanging in the air. And the actor is trying not to move too much but also getting intimate with the actress.. So comical to see intimacy and a fake plastered leg together.. HAHAHAHAHA

i hate computers

sighz... yesterday someone (not me) downloaded new programs on my comp.... then somehow after that, my internet explorer keep getting script error.. ie couldn't be closed too... so darn irritating!! went into a super bad mood after that.. it's amazing how a computer problem can put me into mood swings... luckily someone helped me and the problem's gone... thanx bear!! extremely grateful..

went for a talk today... got a very nice doorgift!! it's a iq game where there are different shapes that make up a triangle.. you're supposed to follow instructions book on where to place a few shapes. got to think of where to place the rest yourself... quite fun... very challenging... It's highly amazing how many ways you can rearrange 12 pieces into a triangle... There were 180 ways in the book!!!

Les Choristes

Just watched Les Choristes at Cineleisure with y today... For those who dunno the show, it's a french movie.. About how a teacher brought singing into his students' lives... Anyway, I watched the show and I really really loved it!!! Very few shows that I love and I think this is one of them... The plot's really touching to me... Eyes got watery a few times and tears trickled down a couple of times.... And as for the singing, it's wonderful!! It's amazing how the singing can touch one deeply... Especially for the lead boy actor... His voice is superbly crystal clear! Now I understand wat the newspaper review meant by 'took a long time to audition to find the boy to take up the role'. His voice is so niceeeeeee...................

Everyone!! Go watch the show!!

chubby babies!!

looking at k's nephew's pics.... Small little boy with really chubby cheeks!! Very cute ah!! The perfect cheeks to pinch! Anyway, I was just wondering... Why do people like chubby babies? It seems to be an instinct to like chubby babies compared to thinner babies... So why why why...

reading signs

side track first... i saw a rainbow this evening on the PIE when I was in the car with my dad! Really huge one!!! Almost complete arch... Pretty pretty... And I finally drove the car again tonight... Super rare to be driving.... I drive about twice a year.. quite sad ah... my mum will get all kan chiong and scared when i drive.. I'm not that bad!!!

back to reading signs. I mean signs like body language, conversation, etc etc.. Things going around you.. Think everyone is relatively good enough at reading signs from other people.. But it's quite easy to misinterpret too... Learnt this point from psy too.. When your heartbeat increase by a lot, and u are looking at a cute guy, it doesn't necessarily mean that u like the guy... Always keep this example in me... Using it to explain some signs to myself sometimes... Dunno if I'm right or wrong, but i guess it doesn't really matter, does it? Wonder if this will make me less accurate at reading signs around me...

So why am I writing this? I dunno.... maybe it's cause I'm trying to explain signs here and there around me nowadays... instead of letting my mind do the automatic thing and maybe misinterpret things here and there....

over again!!

hee.. now it's the swaps internal elections that's over!! yay!! congrats to all in their respective posts.... It was a super long elections of 6 hours, from 12+am to 5+am... Just reached home and I haven't gone to sleep yet.. Waiting for hair to dry slightly more before I go melt in my bed... Long time spent, but fruitful enuf.... Generally find the arrangement not bad.... 18th comm!! Do more stuff!!! Good stuff!! muahaha......

thanx to the 17th p cell members who thought of the overnight thing... Thought it was quite good.. Got pple to meet up and know each other, warm up to each other's presence... Hopefully that would aid the flow of the stuff and enhance team performance.....

tired.... think it's the lack of sleep.... Now just looking forward to mid-autumn festival and handover dinner!!! yay!!!

life is damn sad...

If you were a male/female, and you have to choose either one... Would you rather be poor but beautiful or rich but ugly?????

Oh well.... Read my evolutionary psy book about mate selection recently. Just had a lecture on the topic today.. Anyway, a summary of it was that females look for males who can invest, will invest, have resources, have ambition, relatively healthy.... mainly the "inner character" and not outer... As for males, it's mainly the looks....

So, if you're a female, be poor but beautiful.... at least you can still attract rich and good guys.....
If you're a male, be rich but ugly... at least you got the resources to attract beautiful gals, or just gals in general....

Agree??

If you do, life is so sad.... Cause I agree too.... If life's like that, how do I attract good inner and outer beauty men!!! ARGH...

army open house

hey! dun be surprised! i went to army open house with xt and my sis on sat... quite fun ah...

took shuttle bus from jurong east.. Quite strict about security. Had to be scanned by detector and bag being checked before we can queue for the shuttle bus.. Each got a map of the open house and I was happily looking at what we should go for with the limited time we had

Entered safti finally... Even the bus had to be scanned.... First went to the parade square to find K, who was there on duty. Went for lunch at one of the canteens (food quite cheap ah). Then looked at some of the tanks at the parade square. Lots of military equipment were on display there. We climbed on a couple of tanks, took some pictures and decided to venture to a more "happening" area...

Took a internal shuttle to Area A... First, went on a live-firing safari ride. Before queueing up, had to go collect ear plugs, a dog tag with 'army open house' logo and a combat ration. Sat on a 5-tonner (like a truck). 2 rows to sit, with seat belts. Went off to the live firing area. Commentary would be played on a speaker as we reach a specific area. One area had a tank firing and another tank clearing mines on the road. Another had artillery tank? (i dunno all the names). Then crossed a river by a bridge that was made by amphillian tanks (tanks that become platforms and join together). Witnessed enemies coming from speedboats and getting shot... This place was damn funny.. The "actors" act so many times that this guy was shooting at the enemy without looking ahead. So amusing!!! Watched 2 tanks and a light-strike vehicle shoot at targets. The tank was damn loud ah!!!!! Got a shock for a while... Only realized that evening that my cousin was the gunner then!!! If only he replied my sms earlier... hahaha... Lastly, on the way back, we got "attacked" by terrorists! HELP!! Then they fell dead. All thanks to a camouflaged snipper! His camou is really quite good.. If he didn't wave, I don't think I can tell where he is.. 7th lunar month.. cannot wear ur camou and walk around. Will scare pple...

Then went to 'Adventure Land'... Went to play around with certain items of the obstacle course. I didn't do much.. Wasn't wearing correct shoes to walk or climb.. Anyway, I admit that I'm definitely not fit to do much around there... Just complete any 3 obstacles, get ur paper stamped, and u get a souvenir! I only did 2, but the guy still gave it to me.. hahaha.. so nice.. Anyway, the army guys there were quite friendly... Cannot climb wall but they still encourage xt to try. I didn't try.. Try pushing oneself up still fail, then a guy volunteered his knee.. hahaha.. Super amusing... Wanted to do flying fox, but too long queue....

Went on armoured vehicle rides... Went on a Bronco. Stood on it with a helmet. No goggles!! Damn it.. why never give me goggles... Super dusty ah... From time to time, I had to look down cause dust gets in my eyes...... Had a layer of dust after we went one round...

Then went to do some shooting... Went for M16. Got Sar-21 too but didn't go for it.. Pple only tell us that sar's better after we went... Doesn't matter I guess... If i'm not wrong, we did live rounds.. Each person had 5 shots... Learnt how to hold. I knew I had to aim thru the small hole, but only after 3 or 4 shots, then i realized that further down, there's a black pin that's supposed to point to ur aim.. How stupid I am.. Anyway, I shot my target at the 5th shot!!! Yay!!! I can aim!! Oh yah, we saw Charles and my fellow psy mate..

Went back to main area... Saw a 'army chin-up area'. Enthu pple queueing up to do chin-ups and all kinds of exercise....

Finally, ended at the parade square again... Saw more equipments.. So that marks the end of my visit to Army Open House... Although I know that it's for public education and a little "propaganda" maybe.. But who cares! I had fun!

it's over!!!

swaps agm is over!!! yay!! new comm up!! so happy to see so many nominees and onz pple... but quite sad that pple have to be rejected from the committee even though they wanna be in... sniff sniff... just hope that they dun disappear but continue to be onz!!!

so, i've almost finally stepped down as advisor and wat not... but i doubt it's official yet.. i still got to see see what's left before i pass down to the next advisor... got to make sure the comm goes running smoothly..

got to pray hard that the next comm goes smoothly, with everyone in their best-fitted position... not that the person is the utter best candidate for the post, but more of each taking up a post that they shld be ok for, and fitting together well as a comm..... for this point, pple got to learn it...

to those in the 17th comm... good job!!!

feeling a little sian nowadays... dunno why leh.... haii....
