Navigations are at the top.
I was complaining that boyfriend is so unreasonable that he doesn't allow me to work as promoter. However, in the end he lose to me and even volunteered to work with me. But the angry thing was, I thought that we can work together with Jing and Yang for both days, but there was some changes that in the end Dar and I worked on Saturday and Jing joined us on Sunday, yang didn't get to work. It was my first time working for MMPO, I was rather excited on that day as I heard from ll that we have to wear orange wigs for the job. I assume it would be cute till I saw myself become like this:
Then I took another picture and sent to Jing to let her mentally prepared for the job because I don't want her to scold me on Sunday itself. But to my utmost surprise, she said it was cute?! I bet that she would take back the sentence the next day when she wears the wig herself, like how I reacted differently seeing and wearing the wig. Boyfriend was complaining that he was hungry. So after work, we went to Javier at Cineleisure to have our buffer-like dinner. It was totally a bad service from the restaurant crew so I shall not mention it. After dinner we went to the flea market at Scape. I bought two nail polishes and a necklace from one booth, then 2 skirts from another. After which we walked to Far East to buy my lovely red sneakers. I took few photos of the shoes and asked Jing and Tady if they want, then only Jing was okay with it. After picking and deciding for a good 30 - 45 minutes, we bought the same colour shoes but different patterns.
It was due to the indecisive moments that we had no time for movie in the end. And since boyfriend and I were rather tired after standing for 6 hours giving out free minute maid samples, we headed home.
On Sunday, Jing met us at Khatib MRT and we three took the train to Plaza Singapura. On the train, Jing could not resist the cuteness of the pair of sneakers that she changed into them immediately. So this is how we both look like:
Jing's on top, mines below. I know many of you may think that hers is nicer. I agree too as I wanted to buy the exact pair initially, but then after trying both pairs and with boyfriend's suggestion, I chose the below one as it is very soft so would not bit my feet.
Then very soon, the train sent us to Plaza Singapura. Jing and I took a few photos after she put on the bob wig. Like what I have predicted, she scolded the innocent wig (whatever, not at me can already, hahaha.)
This is us before the transformation:
And... these are the after:
Haha, we took so long fixing our wigs in the ladies, together with my other friend, Mus. There were so many customers told me that we look pretty in the wig. Some even asked if its real and if they can touch it? Of course with this type of striking coloured wig, it attracted alot of people to take photos with me for the past two days of work. But I guess they were all friendly, not just being sarcastic.
It was rather tiring on Sunday, with no breaks at all. Jing complained that she was hungry while boyfriend said he was dying. Then he even requested if he can leave and pay till 2pm. Then when 6pm finally came, we were so happy packing up the stuffs, together with another 10 promoters. Time passed really fast for that 30 minutes of packing up. Then we three went to Carl's Junior to have our dinner. We firstly saw jamie, then after that Jianlin and Yande. Before that I saw Yihui and Kenneth. On Saturday I saw two other friends too. How small Singapore is, Plaza Sing is!
After dinner was very tired though it was only 8plus in the evening. Jing suggested that we go arcade for games, but in the end only she played. Not too bad, she got first:
Jing was so happy course according to her, it was her first time hitting such a high score. Reason being I was there with her that night. how sweet of her <3Totally knock out after I got home on Sunday. Luckily we have a long weekend (saturday to Today, tuesday). Nevertheless, I have done very little work, so it is really time to do some now.
Selamat Hari Raya!

I told dardar that there is one promoter job for Saturday and Sunday. They need 4 promoters for drinks, so I though I can ask him and another two from DoubleClique. Then he kept asking me not to work but rest at home. I though it should be okay since this week we have 4 days holiday (Saturday to Tuesday). Then I can rest or study at night also. But he just kept asking me not to work. I really don't understand why?! I went for tuition at the tuition centre, he asked me not to. I went for promoter job he also said it is very tiring ask me not to work. I really do not know how to argue with him already! I am not a kid, I can handle the stress from work. Though I am not really in need of money, but I thought at this age it is okay to work sometimes? And I rarely work during school term also, why is he there to stop me from working?
ANGRY!

A week before, Jing told me that her uncle's friend, Mr Chan is willing to help us take photos. So yesterday we met at Woodlands MRT at 10.45am and then Mr Chan drove us to Woodlands Waterfront for a day's shooting. I was excited yet nervous as it was my first ever professional shoot. We walked the entire waterfront, taking photos almost at all corners of the park. The weather was scorching, Jing and I were almost burnt. Yang went to look for us too as he needed to take some black and white shoots for his elective too. He left us at 2plus, and Mr Chan continued to dig out his treasures to help us take nice photos.
We left at 4pm and were all near dehydration. Jing and I went to Causeway Point to get some drinks then headed home to bathe for dinner. I met Hong at Yishun MRT at 6.30 to take the shuttle bus to Sembawang Shopping Centre. Then the 4 of us dined in at Aston, the food was nice and cheap! Yummy~
After the dinner, we went outside the mall to take a few funny shoots so that Yang can complete his work. Then we left the mall at around 10pm. Tired and sleepy! I had slight fever again so I skipped this morning's lecture and attended only one 2-hour lecture then went to meet Jess at Bugis.

This is the second week of school, but my social networking continues. I think I have not yet fully prepared myself for school till now. I have got to pick up my momentum soon so that I won't find myself lagging behind at the middle of then term again.
Yesterday, I attended SIWW Appreciation Dinner with many others. When we reached Environmental Building, many of the PUB staffs said that I look very pretty with short hair. They complimented me so much that I blushed. Then Pearlyn, an SP girl, said that she likes my hair so much that she is going to have the same hair cut as mine. Thank you for that, girl (: There was also this female minister who talked to us for a while and she said that I must be the prettiest of the Engineering course, of course I said I am not! Anyway, so many people commented that I look like a doll like short hair, and that I look younger. So thankful to every one's kindness! However, a few also said that they prefer the long hair Kathy, cuz I look more feminine that way. No matter what, the change is worthwhile!
That night I represented NTU to get award from the Minister for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Vivian Balakrishnan, for the distribution towards SIWW 2011. Together with another two universities' representatives, I chatted with him for a short while. He is a very nice minister who took photos with whoever requested. That night, I took numerous photos, as usual.
Below are some for you:
Shengen and I
Receiving the award from Mr Vivian
the world is round, I met my ex Pri Sch vice-principal - Ms Taha

Looking forward to SIWW 2012!

It was only the first day of school, and I am in a dilemma already, I need your valuable feedbacks. Thank you!
I have only two lectures today, after that I attended Global Immersion Programme (GIP) talk with Moses. Before the talk, I told him I wanted to go to Europe, especially France or Australia, but definitely not Asian countries. Then after the two hours' talk, I am totally in a dilemma now, because it is so expensive to go to Europe and earn only 10 AUs as compared to 16 for Work and Study in China / Indian / Vietnam / Indonesia. Below is the comparison:
1)Work and Study - Asia-10 AUs earned for Industrial Attachment-Additional 6 AUs earned for AHSS or UE-22 weeks of work in the city-3-5 weeks spent in the host university on two cultural/history courses (lessons in Chinese)-Fee: SGD$7000 for 6 months-Earn intern salary of about 2K RMB-Interested in Beijing (Peking Uni, Tsing Hua Uni) or Shanghai (Fudan Uni, Shanghai Jiaotong Uni), China.
2)Research - Europe-10 AUs earned for Industrial Attachment-No additional academic units-22 weeks of research in the university-No study week-Fee: SGD$14000 for 6 months-No pay, no allowance for six months of research (meaning free labour)(first turn off)-Need to come out with a project and submit a proposer (second turn off)-Interested in France, Switzerland or UK.
My dear friend, if you were me, which will you choose to go to? China or Europe? Go China needs to pay only about 7K, with month salary from work. Can earn extra AUs for electives by studying a month at the local University. Or Europe? Go there need to spend double the amount, worse still, no salary/allowance is given. So it is more like we spend money to go for research. But going to Europe has been my dream from year 1 till now, especial France or Switzerland. I am sure I will gain alot more from the culture and polish up my French, but too expensive!
HELP!

It has been so long since our Double Clique last met. So few weeks back, I asked for opinions from the members and came to an agreement that we will meet today for kite flying and picnic at Marina Barrage. I set a theme: White and Red with sunglasses for National Day! Also, I requested all attendees to make some food. So in the end Hong bought Pia Kia pies, Yang drinks, Tady potato croquettes, Rong sandwiches, Yujing tidbits and I Longan Grass Jelly. Yesterday, I met up with Jess again (Met her on Wednesday for super nice movie, Captain America), walked around Yishun finding nice RED clothes for the outing. I took in so much effort to find that, but only realized others didn't even bother to keep to the theme. I won't set any theme for this clique anymore in the future gatherings, it's meaningless. Then I bought all the ingredients needed for the dessert and started cooking yesterday night.
This is the grass jelly, I bought the powder and cook myself because I heard that it is more healthy cooking ourselves. This is the final result after adding in longan fruits. Not too bad (:
Then this morning, I packed them into 5 containers so that it will be easier for them to eat since its liquid form. I prepared one extra large one in case some may want a second round. But none had it. HAHHAHA. 
A few photos from the fun yet tiring outing. It was my first time flying a kite, so I was a bit clumsy at the tool. That had made Jing and Rong laughed their lungs out. Some evidences: 
Some of my individual shoots (:
After our picnic, we dragged our bloated tummies to Olio Cafe at Marina Square and had our dinner till 9pm. Due to that, I missed SW's Birthday Party, I felt very guilty towards her now. We also went to buy some Korean goodies from the Korean shop. Spent about $50 for that day. But had great fun with my clique (:
Few days ago, I have also learnt from the TV show this dish: Winter melon soup. 
This is unlike the normal winter melon soup because it is sweet and sour. I have not tried winter melon in my life before this, so abit don't like the result. But some people said it's not too bad. the most worth-a-eat reason about this dish is that it is a cooling dish. Winter melon contains about 96.5% water, thus it is believed to be able to reduce one's body heat easily. As a result, it will help those bothered with pimples to better the condition if you were to eat this frequently. This dish is very easy to make, approach me if you are interested.

I was rather free yesterday, so went to Pasar Malam (night market in Malay) to buy something to eat and I spent an horrible $17 just on FOOD alone. At night at around 10pm, I was forced to go down again with Yang and Hong. That extra trip caused me another $8 on FOOD. Sinful! So yesterday after finishing all the food with my sister at 5plus, I had the sudden craze to clear my room. I spent the entire evening clearing my stuffs and reading the letters people wrote to me during secondary school days. Those days were no doubt my best phase of life so far. We were really childish then, the content in the letters can be really silly and naive. Of course, not to forget those letters of heart-felt warmth from many peeps.
I still remember in Secondary 3, when we were all streamed into different classes. My class, then 3/6, was the top class, taking 3 Sciences and double Maths, with Geography as the elective. Mr Cheong Chee Leong was our form teacher and Chemistry teacher. He is firm and always went by law, thus I could sense not all of the class liked him. Madam Ho Soo Yin was our all-time-favourite Biology teacher. Her fun character fitted into our class perfectly. She was my and everyone's favourite teacher of all. With her, we talked things before Biology, beyond school. Loved her so much that I bought her some cute furry pens which I knew she didn't dare to use. Ms Tan Chong Hui, our Physics teacher. She was the teacher famous for her fairness and professionalism. She taught with undepletable knowledge and wasted no second. We all respect her. Next was our A-Maths teacher, Madam Sarojini. She spoke with an Indian accent that she found it sorry for us at times. She was an experienced teacher who was cute at her own way. E-maths was taught by Mr Kok Yeong Haur. He is still as humble now as then, a real gentleman. We all loved his kindness too! Then Humanities were taught by Madam Lim. The very soft and ladylike teacher who cared so much for our results that she even teared in class once regarding our bad results. She told us, in the top class, every subject was to be spent with the same amount of hardwork. She felt sad for the fact that our class did not put in as much effort as what we should. On Childrens' Day 2006, we each received one lucky G2 pen from her, wishing us conquer O Lvel, conquer Humanities, despite we were all over-aged children. Mr Tsing was our English teacher, he taught with his unique way that we liked to laugh at him for different funny stuffs he did. However, he was a great and passionate English teacher, we were lucky to have him then. I thank the school, Riverside Secondary School to award us with the few wonderful teachers!
The class loved staying in the cozy classroom, munched on our buns and sucked on the soya beans bought from Huiyi. We all loved our classroom and the company of one another very much! Due to this, other classes of the same level named 3/6 as the mugger class! But whatever the name was and no matter how much we hated the name, we didn't change our habit because we have one another and a bunch of lovely teachers, so there was nothing to be afraid of! Back then I remember that we enjoyed writing to our close friends as our beloved Biology teacher told us at her house: writing is a good way to improve your English/GP. So in order to drill in advance for our GP, we tried to write letters of encourage to our friends. That time, whenever I was bored, I would take them out, read over a few times and laughed to myself like a silly girl. Just now, I came across a few names friends wrote for me in the letter: Miss Dono, Princess Fantasy, Blur Queen, Sotong, Laopo, Yorbu, Kat/Cat, Miewmiew, Chuchu, 牙签，爱哭鬼，梦幻公主... etc.
Also, I came across this cute cartoon phone card, with SGD$5 folded nicely inside the plastic wrapper as shown:
If I remember correctly, it was put in in 2003, Secondary 1. I am not sure if any one of your have the same feeling as me, I tend to worry that I may get lost somewhere. Since back then I didn't own an ATM card, and afraid that I may end up not having enough money to get home, so this $5 was there like my amulet, providing me sense of security. I realized we get contented easily with merely $5 then, for now, I guess the amulet will expand in size and value, to $50.
Not convinced?Evidence: below shows half of the 101 watches I bought during Secondary days.
If you care to take a closer look, the watches all cheap ones from any random shop out there.The cheapest is less than $10 (can't remember which is the cheapest and how cheap it is) and the most expensive one here does not even hit $30 (think so?!). But for now, the watches I am wearing can easily hit $300, cheapest is also above $100. As we grow older, we demand for better goods, but I can say, the time when we owned the simplest thing are the times we were the happiest. Before I threw away all these ancient watches, I actually examined them one by one. Recalled how I got them if possible.
Then I came across this watch, it was one of my favourite then.
I remember I bought it at an 'expensice' price, I guess it was about $20 plus? Then the amazing thing is, I tried to push in the 'tunner' at the right of this watch, and it works! Meaning the watching is still working after 7,8 years of hibernating?! Yes, I keep it with me now, though I doubt I will be wearing it again, it is too kiddy to wear it, right? I know some of you may say that!
The work continued, I found another sweet thing: (Click to see if you can find your name here)
Those were the days when we had no Handphone, we recorded down friends' contact numbers. I remember right after 'collecting' numbers from the Primary 6 graduation class friends and the Secondary 1 new friends, I bought a Nokia 8250 phone. Not long after, I switched to Nokia's first colour phone, and many of my friends were crowding around me, eager to see the first colour phone! This scene will only replays itself now if you are carrying a black-and-white ancient phone.
There were bits and pieces from secondary school, but the puzzle never completes, as we are constantly being the pieces filling in one anothers' life till now.
Then life moved on to Anderson Junior College in year 2007, where I spent 2 years. I remember I have great fun there, but also, the very first time experiencing failure in academic matters. I cried the most over my results during those two years. I was not sure whether was I stupid or my brain was really getting rusty that no matter how hard I tried (perhaps not hard enough according to my friends), I couldn't get the desired result. I knew many of my teachers were quite disappointed with me, as normally in class I was not that dumb! Mr Vincent Goh, my H2 Chemistry tutor once urged me to clear any doubts if I don't understand, and he added, he had faith in me! AJC was not the school with only nightmares for me, it was also the school that trained me into who I am today.
Since primary school to JC2, I have been appointed as class monitress/class leader almost every level. However, it was in AJC that I had the most training in leadership. I joined two school camps, both drilling us on how to be a successful leader and how to handle problems well. In those two years, I put what I have learnt into real practice - I read announcements and handled some miscellaneous issues for the class. It taught me to be confident when speaking in front of a crowd. Thanks to this, I then took part in some external events/projects which required me to display high responsibility and great leadership skill. I have to admit that in 2008, I didn't graduate from AJC with an honourable result slip, but I walked through life via the AJC gate as a more matured and confident individual.
(A heart found in my drawer, unknown of the sender)
Lastly, I would like to declare that, I am truly proud to be an AJCian, Non Mihi Solum!
In 2009, I entered Nanyang Technological University and major in Civil Engineering. I was told by a handful of seniors that university friends are hi-bye friends and that there was no much time to gather and to know one another better. Bearing that in mind, I thought I couldn't find any good friends in NTU, and didn't care to confide much in them. Sometimes, I don't even share my things with them like what I did with my RS and AJC friends. During school holidays, they would say that it was as if I have disappeared from the world. However, two years passed, I can tell that those seniors were wrong. The group of friends I make in NTU were really kind and fun. We encourage one another in studies, share the fun we have in the dreadful lessons. This left me with the greatest guilty in life, I feel very sorry towards them. And I like to tell them that I am actually a very bad girl, believe or not, up to you. No one, not even my best friend or family can understand how exactly I feel as this is just not my style of making friends. Friends should be always there for one another if you need them. friends should be aware of what is happening with your other friends. friends should be truthful to one another. friends should be.. However, I know it is too late for me to make up now, perhaps, after graduation, okay?
Till 2013.
