Just a quote I that left me thinking:

It's not logical. This feeling is unavoidable. If it hurts to stay, it hurts more to leave.

Hopefully, you know what I'm talking about.

P.S. I've added new songs to the blog playlist!

Thinking,

Today was a fairly interesting day. Thus, I'm not gonna type it down in point form.

I was allocated to Orchard with Wei Jie today! Then 10 JAD peeps went to Burger King and had our meal there! I ordered a Mushroom Swiss student meal :D

Now, remember I don't take beef?

I didn't know the Mushroom Swiss had beef in it. I thought it was just some weird tasting chicken...

So, here's to that beef in my intestine right now:

Sorry, Mr. Cow Beef.

Anyway, we were slacking off at BK; testing each other IQ questions and lame questions. It was real fun :D

Soon after, Jason had to go off as he was sick. And guess what he took along?

ShengLong's bag.

And he would have gotten away with the bag if Jolyn hadn't told ShengLong that Jason had taken his bag. ShengLong, you're slow...

Oh, and Jason being sick? I'm kinda doubting it. He managed to run pretty fast once ShengLong was on his tail... Running round one of the tables outside Burger King...

Then again, he might be really sick. I think he got the fever.. >.< Poor kid, get well soon.. *pats head*

Anyway, I did mainly carpark pitching today! I finish 1 and a half books today! *smiles*
Then I helped Wei Jie with his sales. At 4-ish, he sold only 2 cards... and we started at 12noon!

Oh, and there was this person, who had quite a bit of BIRD-NEST in his car, and he's not willing to donate and help! Bitch.

And this other person who made sure he wasn't getting cheated by asking for my IC.

Oh, I lost my pen while working.. damnnit! That's the 2nd pen gone! The 1st one dropped and 'died', and the 2nd disappeared! I really need one of those pens where you just have to hang it around your neck.

After that, I went for Joycelyn's wedding dinner!

*mega big smile! and the DINO smile to intimidate cK.. :P*

It was held at the CONRAD place. Some big shot hotel with expensive food.

They serve the people one by one. It's not one of those self service, where the waiter/waitress leaves the big plate of food in front of you.
Instead, they let us know what we are eating, and divides it evenly among the number of people sitting around that table.

Thus, the servings were small... not worthy of a buffet people!

At the end of the dinner, one of the manager-like person came up to me and handed me the 'suggestions and comments' thingy. Guess what I wrote?

"The serving was very small for the cold dish. Everyone only had ONE prawn."

Technically, it's half a prawn. They sliced it into 2... So everyong on the table had half a prawn.

How patheic is that?

However, I must say that the food there was good. Example, I usually don't eat fish, but the steamed/fried fish they served, smelt quite good, that I decide to try it! :D

Back to the wedding, I feel that I've been inspired by the whole event. All the church Holy Matrimony thing, and the wedding dinner...

I feel like, we can find our true love all over again. Living one of those fairy tales lives again. You know, where the Princess and Prince live happily ever after.

Joycelyn believed in find true love, and she did.

She found Adrian.

Watching her sign those papers with Adrian, I cried. Watching those slides with pictures of the couple, I tear-ed a little. It touched me in ways I never imagined.

It was like watching my sister getting marriaged...

Thus, I shall believe in finding him all over again. Afterall, Love is what makes the world go round :D

And at a random note,

I want those photos of the newly weds, AjDoRy. Jiejie looked really pretty in her blue dress, and that maroon gown... Oh! and that royal looking gown...

La-la Land... Dream world... Fairytales.

I believe some people wonder why I'm not afraid of walking home alone at night. Most females would most certainly like 'bodyguards' to fetch them home.

True, most females like the sense of security. Well, I'm just like them. Except that I'm not all that afraid of walking home alone.

My friends and family members make sure I get home safely but making me call them or sms them once I'm home. But I tend to forget. Thus, they call up my house and see if I've returned. Thanks people, that's really nice of you.

Back to the question: Why am I not afraid of walking home alone?


To tell you the truth, I really don't know.


Maybe it's because I know my neighbourhood well enough to not choose the secluded roads. Then again, everywhere seems secluded during the night.

I know why now! I think I know the reason as to why I'm not all that afraid to walk home alone!

I know self defence. Not that I really tried it out on anyone, but I believe I can protect myself.
If anyone wants to rape, they'll not choose me. I'm not a suitable victim. I'm not an easy target.

Besides, this is Singapore. All you have to do is SCREAM REALLY LOUD, and all the 'kaypo' aunties will poke their heads out and see what's going on.

Thanks aunties. Without you, Singapore would be so dangerous.

Today, is the day.

Today, Joycelyn Lim just became Joycelyn Liu.

SHE'S MARRIED!!!

Wahh!!! I'm so happy for her! And when she signed those papers with Adrian, I felt like crying.
I have no idea why, but tears started to form. So touching... *sigh*

And she looks really pretty in her wedding gown! *mega big smile!*



Jiejie in her gown! :D



Jie's and her side of her family!



The newly Weds! and I love this red dress, it's super nice! :D



The photographer said, "Don't think, just feel..."

And they lived happily ever after... I wonder if I'll ever do...

Today:

- Went out with Pam, Juls, Shawn, Jake, Keith and Aron.
- Wanted to watch the Sunset, but missed it.. >.< - Had dinner, talked, and left.
Do you hear me? I got over it. I dont think I like him anymore.
Baby you've gotta believe in the things It's over... After all that insecurity and emo moments,
That make you and me win together. I am proud to say this:
Don't you, throw in the towel... I no longer have a crush on him.
I'm keeping my promise to you; It's about time my heart gave up.
I've got your back now. Sayonara, butterflies!

We talked about our futures. What our friends might be in the future. Interesting talk...

I truly wonder what we'll all be when we're 27/28...
Well, we'll see after ten years.

Today was a very bad day. I just managed to sell 1 book. Damnnit. I need to rasie that amount of money.

Oh, and today was super embarassing... My skirt flew up, to a, erm.. well, you get the idea. But it wasn't ALL the way up. If it was, I would have fainted right away.
I'M NEVER WEARING THAT SKIRT OUT ON FIELD. EVER. The info was when she told me Jason saw it.

LiYu!!! I'm so gonna hit you again the next time I see you! I lived better not knowing it! And that extra info was UNNECESSARY! OMG! I lost my attitude for working right way... Then I later found out that he didn't see anything, THANK GOD!

Quick overview of today:

- Worked.
- Worked.
- Worked.
- Got FIRST pay :D
- Lesson X(
- Did 2 books.

----------

Let's do some Mathematics, shall we?

Grooming = Money.

Money = Work.

Now, to earn the money for Grooming, I have to work.

Thus,

Grooming = Money = Work.

When I work, I feel tired. Thus:

Work = Decrease in Health.

Money tends to complicate things more. Thus:

Money = Complication.

Grooming is to increase my confidence. Thus:

Grooming = Increase in self confidence.

Therefore:

Increase in self confidence = Complication = Decrease in Health.


Welcome to Adult-hood.

Filled with

Egoistic Huamns,
Complications, and
Health Destructions.

Enjoy you time in Adult-hood!!!

Music Post.

I feel this song 'reaches' to me, somehow. It just touched me when I heard it for the first time.
The feeling is difficult to explain.

It's like the song made me believe in finding the one for me...

Danity Kane, you girls rock.




[Verse 1-Aundrea]
Lately, I’ve been tryna fight whatever’s pulling us under
it’s got a hold and really making me wonder
what it takes to get through
I gotta stick with you, my baby
Baby tell me…
Maybe I’m foolishly overreacting
But being without you I can’t imagine
It’s just to close to the heart
And I won’t stand it if were broken apart

[Chorus-Group]
Do you hear me?
Baby ya gotta believe in the things that make you & me win together,
Don’t you throw in the towel
I’m keeping my promise to you I got ya back now,
When the chips are down
It seems like it’s so hard for you to move ahead
Just know that I am by your side
There aint no ifs, buts, or maybes,
I’m gonna stay down and ride for you baby

[Verse 2- Dawn]
We’ve been cutting it close with the backwards & forwards
It’s rocking the boat;
we gotta get control of this
Let's take it back to three years ago
When you said that we could make it through whatever, ever
And to me it sounded like you meant forever, ever
Leaving was not an option, baby, never, never
Now don't you believe in a love that's worth a fight
In you is everything that I'm missing
So give us a chance

[Chorus]
Do you hear me?
Baby ya gotta believe in the things that make you & me win together,
Don’t you throw in the towel
I’m keeping my promise to you I got ya back now,
When the chips are down
It seems like it’s so hard for you to move ahead
Just know that I am by your side
There aint no ifs, buts, or maybes,
I’m gonna stay down and ride for you baby

[Verse 3- D. Woods]
Don’t you dare tell me we gotta let it go…
We been on top for too long just to let it go under
I don't wanna hear that
I just can't hear that
and know wherever you wanna take me
I'll go I been with you for too long to start over with another
I know that you hear me
Just tell me you hear me

[Chorus-w/ Ad-libs (D. Woods)]
Do you hear me?
Baby ya gotta believe in the things that make you & me win together,
Don’t you throw in the towel
I’m keeping my promise to you I got ya back now,
When the chips are down
It seems like it’s so hard for you to move ahead
Just know that I am by your side
There aint no ifs, buts, or maybes,
I’m gonna stay down and ride for you baby

HAVE MAJOR MOODSWINGS FOR NO REASONS.
WHY CAN'T I GOT TO VIOLENT ACRES'S BLOG?
SCREW YOU, SINGNET!
BITCHES.

-------------------A world Of PeaCe--------------- ; {8:00 PM}
_________________________________________________________



I think that it's time for me to face the question:

I've been asking myself that question ever since I read it on someone's blog.

To tell you the truth, I have been running away from it. The fact would have been sickening if I thought about it. Thus,

I must face it now. I must treasure what I can right now. They are gonna go, soon. I'll miss him too. I remember how much I hated it. Feeling weak because I have a weak heart.
Damn it.

Once the 'O' level results come out, that may be our final meeting. I don't kow if I can live any longer after I get my results.

They are an important part of my mermories. I don't wanna lose them.

I'm guessing, it's about time.
I don't have a true answer to that question. I just wanted to let you to know this:

What you do everyday is important, as you are trading a day of your life for it.

Don't waste your lives, darlings.

Oh, and I saw this woman while I was 'pitching', her hair was tied up with TWO PONYTAILS TIED IN FAIRY PINK, DECORATIVE rubberband and TWO PINK, CUTE AND FLUFFY looking clips.

And she looked like a 40 year old woman.

Dress your age, girl! ... I mean, Woman.

Okay, I'm gonna make this as short as possible. I need sleep to get energy for work tomorrow.

The Plan was to meet everyone at NP by 12.00 noon. But I woke up late... and Pam was a little late, altough some may say that THAT'S an understatement.

I met Pam at Parkway around...11.30+. Took 966 to Shawn's house. Then we met up with Shawn, Keith and Matthew to get our butts to NP... which is super far away to me...

Actually, NP seems quite boring. Though I'd be a little interested in Accountancy... doesn't seem that bad, right?

Oh, and during the golf game thingy, I managed to score on my first try! Woot! Too bad no one but that nice lady, got too see it! Well, their loss!

And we went to the Convention Centre to grab our freebies! Hey, I'm a Singaporean. Of course I like to take freebies :D

We got a goodie bag, with loadsa things inside, and a... a... erm, actually, that's all. One Goodie Bag...

And we hang-ed around the convention centre, taking up the seats there. We didn't do anything much, but talk. But the bonding session was good; got to know more about my friends :D
On the way there, Cheeks and Matthew had a small fight (verbally). Freaking can... I was scared to hear them raise their voice. I don't like loud, angry voices. Brings back bad mermories. At least they are alright now, right?
Oh, and later we took a bus to town. On the way, there was a traffic jam. The traffic lights weren't working, and those Singaporeans were just not willing to give way! And there was this car which reversed and NEARLY hit our bus.

Pictures courtesy of cK and Pam's phone.



Hee hee... Look at the uncle's face...





Look, The mess and the spoilt tracffic lights I circled.

And there was another bus which stopped just in time.

With great thanks to our wonderful bus driver, we got pass that jam and we were on our way! Thanks Uncle! :D

We went Lido to watch 'Gridiron Gang'. Quite inspiring. Starring The Rock and Ex-ibit (is that how you spell the name?)

Oh, and Nachos rocks!

After that Pam had to go off and the rest had dinner. The Chicken Rice was $3.80! Cheeks's and YunTing's hokkien mee was $4.00 each. Super ex.

We went home after that. Although the day didn't sound tiring, it was. I don't know why...

Oh, and why is it that guys think that we like someone if our MSN nick is like:

What do girls do to win a guy's respect? Are guys really all that simple-minded, V?

That was a QUESTION after reading someone's post. Is it because guys are more easy going, thus they are easier to get along with?

I was raised in a female-nated family. I was from an all-girls school some more. If you were to look at my phonebook in Sec 1, you'll see no guy's name unless they were related to me.

It wasn't until Sec 3 or 4 when I was introduced to people of the opposite sex. The first time I made friends with a guy face to face was last year, when I went to study with Cass and her friends. That's how I met Corey and Danny.

Back to the question, I feel that guys are more easy going compared to girls. There's just SO much difference between the 2 genders.

But as they say:

Opposite Attracts.

Man, yesterday was good... I managed to get 2 books off my hands... :D Must learn to like City Hall, As that's where I went yesterday.

Today, I went to Pasir Ris with Kai En to do our job. Oh, and ever since my ez-link charged me by adult rate, I've VERY little money. It's real ex. can. I have to spend over $1 to get from EW3 to EW12.

Anyway, we 'pitched' until we got stuck. I was stuck with 4 or 5 cards left. Kai En wasn't doing any better, she only got 11 cards off her hands then.

In desperation, we move to Simei. Shhh... Don let anyone know. I don't think it is allowed to move to different place.

After reaching Simei, I only just managed to get rid of the remaining cards. Kai En didn't like it either. The people there are 'poor'.

And there was this uncle who just came out of the 4D place, and with a number of large notes on his hands. Thus, I went to him and did the usual: "Hi Uncle! I'm representing..." thing.

And you know what he said?

Sorry, NO MONEY.

Right, then how do you explain that $50 dollars and those $10 dollar notes in your hand right then?

Please, THINK of a better excuse...

Oh, and there was the Whacked-up-and-irritating people from 'Home' yesterday at City Hall. They are kinda like our 'competitors'.

And I don't like them. Their attitude is very... arrogant.

Well, I'm very tired. I was able to return home early due to the fact that today was 'HUMP' day.

Wanna know what's 'hump' day?

Wednesday is the midle of the week, thus... we do this:



you see the 'hump' under the wed? Yup :D

Going to Ngee Ann Poly with S.K.Y tmr! I think... I have no idea who's going...

Monday, January 15, 2007

Today was my first day at work. I was to report there by 9.30am. Surprisingly, I wasn't late! In fact, I was 15 mins early!

Not long after 'registering' my name, I waited for further instructions. Then, a guy entered...

And Another guy...

And ANOTHER guy...

And MORE guys!

I panicked. These people are my colleages! I didn't know I was gonna work in a freaking MALE environment!

The worst part is that the new comers (like me) are all guys too. Gosh...

Thank goodness some girls entered the place as well. However, they weren't new comers. But I'm consoled that I won't be the only pathetic girl around.

Once I was able to enter the next room, there was A LOT of people. It was like one of those orientation complete with cheers and groups. My assigned leader is known as Kai En.

There were about three groups in there, and another two groups in the 'X-cel' team. I was in the 'Dynamic' team, under JAD.

Woot! JAD rocks!

There was this whole cheering session, and then the 'newbies' were introduced. (Here's the funny part: I was carrying a bag with the print 'newbie')

Soon after, I left with Kai En and some other colleages to Waterloo to do our 'buisness'.
(That's sounds funny. Waterloo to do buisness :P)

In the waiting room, the leaders taught us how to 'pitch' people. This means that we have to interact with these 'clients', a.k.a passer-bys, to let them know about the charity we're helping.

At first I was a little nervous, but I wasn't thinking much. My mind was still switched off. So I just approached someone and did the talking/pitching thing.

After a number of tries, I got the hang of it. Then, my mind just focused on this job and kept on asking people. It was non-stop. I couldn't even remember excatly what I did.

It's like, you have to repeat the same thing over and over again in this short period of time, you mouth and brain somehow got accustomed to it. Every passer-bys I approached, I automatically went:

Hi Sir/Mdm. Could I just have your attention for awhile? I'm a representative from We-sharecare Soceity, and basically we are helping poor Singapore children who come from broken family or single parent family.
We are trying to help more than 200 children and every $10 card that you buy would help them a lot. Your money...

That was an example on what I had to say again and again and again.

I've also learnt something from this expirence. Don't take a break while you're going on and on and on. You'll lose the momemtem.

That was what happened to me. After lunch, I felt even MORE tired. I have no idea why...
The more breaks I took, the more tired I felt. And I took about 2 to 3 breaks, excluding lunch.

Maybe it's because you'll realise how much your feet and mind are aching that you feel even more tired...

For my first day, I sold 20 cards. Kai En said that it was very good for my first day :D

Hopefully, I can do about 25 cards tomorrow!

Saturday, January 13, 2007

I had an interview on Friday, and basically I'll work as a advertisment representative if I get the job.

After the interview (it was a really quick and short one.), I called Shawn to let him know that my interview was over. Then he told me not to go over yet as it is raining VERY heavily.

Even though my house isn't all that far from ECP, I decided to not go to the chalet yet. Laziness got the better of me.

So, I returned to the comfort of my own home and, well, became a lazy worm.
(You know, there's this Chinese kids song: Ni Shi Lan Duo Chong, Ni Shi Lan Duo Chong, Ni De Yi Shen Do Shi Chong...)

At around 3.30pm, I received a call from Dynamic Asia. And they said I got the job!!! Woot!

Then at about 4pm+, I messaged Yun Ting and told her that I'll be on my way. It's quite a distance to the chalet from the underpass.

Okay, maybe calling it QUITE a distance is an understatement. It's far enough to make my slippers betray me and hurt my feet.

But what the heck, walking is good excerise!

And the 'beings' up there just wanted me WET. I was walking towards the chalet, enjoying the sea view, when it started raining AGAIN. Waiting at the shelter is just plainly a waste of time, so I just walked in the rain. It ain't all that bad.

Halfway, I saw Justin and Zong Zhe (did I get his name right?) walking towards the other way, a.k.a away from the chalet. So I thought,

"Oh, they must be going back already..."

But it turns out that they are trying to find that chalet as well. :D Be grateful you two met me, or else you would have to walk ALL THE WAY back from where you started.

And finally, we reached the chalet D2 safe and sound... and pretty wet.



It turns out that the chalet is bigger than what I expected. This shows how small the 'one rooms' chalet in Pasir Ris are.

Nearly everyone was watching a movie upstairs. Except for a few guys who stayed downstairs. And Chee Keong who kindly greeted us without a shirt. Dude, I don't want to dirty my eyes...

Just Kidding :D

The rest were upstairs watching the movie, and Sam wasn't there yet. Let's fast-forward to the guys fighting each other and... erm... getting a little intimate...

Note: No one was... erm, hurt, during this fight.


The guys bullying Pam.


Fight between Pam and Jake. Police officer Chee Keong tries to stop it.


Police officer cK lectures Pam.


Jake, getting ready to hit Pam.


The fight continues!


Pam taking as much amo as possible!

This is utter fun. No one was screaming except for maybe Pam when Jake and some other guys hit her with the pillows.




cK and guess who's the other party?


Ahem...




cK regreting his.. erm.. actions?


Aron and cK...


I have no idea how he managed to squish himself in there...

As for me, I stay at one corner of the bed taking some of those photos with Matthew's cam.

Fast forward to dinner time. The some of the people who knew how to ride a bike (basically, everyone there but me.) went to buy food back for us :D

While waiting for the food, Sam came with the manjong set! Woot! and it's like, we started to play until the rest are back. Which was very long.

Yun Ting managed to convince Huan Li come over for the Chalet as well, so we went and fetch her to the chalet. Hey, the more the merrier!

At around... 11-ish? We watched Step Up. Although I feel that the plot had not enough 'ummh!' factor, I still like the music and dance.

After the show, we had to send Huan Li home and we went to play pool! Albert, Chee Keong, Eric, Keith, Makoto, Yun Ting, Zhong Ze and I went to the pool place above Macs.

And I finally learnt how to play pool!!! Yay!!!

Many thanks to my 'Shi Fu' : Chee Keong and Eric. *bows*

And the freakin' smoke smell there was really strong. There was a sign that said: 'No Smoking' somemore lah....
We played til' about 4-ish and then made our way back to the chalet.

By the time we reached there, the rest were asleep. Then came the problem of sleeping. Where are the 3 girls gonna sleep?

Sam was already asleep, so were Eric, Eugene, Matthew, and Shawn. But later Sam woke up and played manjong through the remaining night... together with Justin, Keith and I.

Since Keith took out his contacts, he could barely see the tiles we were throwing out. He had to pick up the tiles, put them up to his face and see. He called himself the 'Blind Man'.

And it turns out: The 'Blind Man' Won. Then we switched places in hope of getting better 'Feng Shui'.

But soon, my body NEEDED to sleep and I backed out of the game. The time was 6.30am. That's, like, the time I have to wake up for school in the past lah...

It wasn't easy to find a place and sleep. So, I slept beside Yun Ting. That was the first time I slept close to guys who aren't related to me by blood.

One mattress, at least 5 heads.

But that rest was horrible. I need to sleep with a sense of security. Or else I'll not have a peaceful sleep. I'll wake a number of times and try to get back to sleep again.

Oh, and I think someone might have stepped on my hair when I was asleep. Either that, or someone sleeping opposite me is unknowingly using my hair as his pillow.

I know I have nice hair (I'm lying to myself), but please don't sleep on it. :P

When I woke up, Eugene was about to leave for work. and Eric alreacy left. Sam and some other guys were playing cards. Sam really has stamina, man...
With me awake, they had enough players to play manjong. So, we played manjong again! :)

Soon, we had to wake the remaining sleepy heads and check out of the chalet. Oh, and return these 11 bikes.



We went for breakfast at the Marine Parade Hawker Centre. On our way through the underpass, I took a picture of everyone. :)



I was suppose to take more pictures... But I forgot.

Terrible mermory...

Tomorrow's the Chalet and I haven't even packed. I'll start packing once I'm done with this post.

For those who can, we could go at 2pm. But last minute, I decided not to go. Basically because I'll be LATE... (as usual)

Anyway, the reason why I'll be late is because I received an E-mail:

Dear Crystal,

we have gone through your email and the management would like to invite you down to our office for an interview.

A job interview! The past 2 interviews weren't really good. But as they say:

Third time's the Charm!

*crosses fingers* Wish me good luck tomorrow!!!

I went with Tubs and Pam to the Job Agency located around Raffles Place. Sadly, we needed a resume before we can apply.

So, we went and met up with most of the S.K.Y peeps at Plaza Singapura. Basically, we went there just for... dinner. Okay, and maybe we hanged out a bit.

Currently, I'm listening to music from my iTunes.
And it's Zhi Yang's Song!!! '22' in Chinese :D
Anyway, we just talked while waiting for Sam's friends to come. Then suddenly Pam popped up the question about the guy I like. Pam and YunTing, listen up:

I'M NEVER GONNA LET YOU GUYS KNOW WHO IT IS!

until I'm over this crush. To tell you the truth: I currently have 2 crushes. One of them is one of the ACS guys.
I find puppy love irritating.
I can't believe I'm 'crushing' over some ACS guy! *slaps myself* Owww....
I can't believe I've fallen for such a feeling as such! Puppy love just doesn't go well with my personality. Basically, you 'fall in love' with this person, and after God-knows-how-long, you lose the feeling.

A total WASTE of time.

But I must admit, it's nice to have butterflies flutter in your stomach when you see your crush.

I wanted to post something else at first. But after watching the Arena, I want to tell everyone this:

In your FACE, RAFFLES.

Loyang beat you. Good looks DOES matter.

I've been taught that the effort is more important. However, looking at this materialistic world today, you CAN'T say that looks doesn't matter. People with good looks has a better chance in most things.

Now I've forgotten about what I wanna post... Damn it.

I've just watched the trailer for the show where some Campus Superstar Contestants star.

The main character is acted by Felicia Chin, and her little brother is acted none other than the Campus Superstar himself, Ng Chee Yang.
OMGosh. Only smart alexs can read this: Ng Chee Yang was my longest secret crush!!!
Anyway, the female champion, Teresa, gets a part in the show as well. She acts as this girl where the guys in school fall head-over-heels for. Here's the spoiler: she dies in the end.

I hate the scriptwriter for this show.

Hey, you can't blame me for supportive of my school's Superstar. *Pffttt!*
They made ZhiYang have a bad Chinese Standard! For goodness sake, he's from Hwa Chong!
The consoling part is that the pretty guy in the school (no, it isn't Ng Chee Yang.), acted by Renferd I-forgot-his-surname, gets the lower half of his body paralyzed.
Did you know that Renferd was the shortest crush I got? It lasted for only 1 min.
And the best part: He is the captian of the basketball team.

Oh, and did you know that Khim and Adriano acts in the show as well? Adriano looks really funny when he was having a puppy love moment like the other guys who listened to Teresa play the piano.
I suspect my cousin loves Adriano. Too bad she can't read this... Right?
I'll give you guys the link to watch the trailer. I was laughing as I watched it.

Not.

Well, it IS funny. But I just didn't feel like laughing. Except for the part where Adriano had that LOOK on his face. It tickled my funny bone.

Here's the link:

Enjoy!

I wonder who was smart enough during my previous post... hmmm...

Rather than making myself grow more white hair, I'd be better off looking for something to do. Such as:

a JOB.

Which partly explains why I'm currently blogging in my mom's office.

The second reason is because the internet access is WAY better than the one at home.

Shh... Don't let her find out...

Anyway, I offered to help my mom with the filing in her office. I was reading the 'Classified' looking for a job. And I saw this ad where I could work at home!

I visited the website, in hope of finding a job where I could working in the safety of my home. Ahh..~

NOT.

It all seems interesting, until I read this part:

GET THE SYSTEM FOR ONLY $49.95! HURRY, BEFORE THE OFFER IS GONE! ONLY FOR THE FIRST 100 PEOPLE!

Ya, sure. Pay $(50-5cents) and risk my computer, or in this case, my Mom's OFFICE computer, getting a bloody VIRUS?!

No thank you.

If I really did that (getting the virus an all) , do you know who I'll blame?

The bloody Classified paper. And the people who published the ad.

I came across this post from someone's blog. I know her as Emiko.

Now, as to what I should discuss about today...

Okay, Love and Marriage.

Now, Singapore hopes that the population gets bigger, or else we'll be facing the more-old-people-than-young-people-in-Singapore crisis.

Or something like that. You know, the ageing population thingy...

The thing is, the best time for women to give brith is when they are between the ages of 20-30.
Any older, and the women risk not only the baby's life, but their own lives as well.

Now, to have children, you need a family which most importantly needs a Father and a Mother.To make sure that the children gets a full family, the parents must not get divorced.

It's the poor kids who will have to pay the price when something like that happens.

This is probably what you need to know before you get married:

Dating Time: At least 5 years.
Engagement time: About 1-2 years. (So that your partner knows what he/she is getting into.)Wedding and Married time: FOREVER.

Total time: about 8 years before you can get a baby. (inclusive of 9 months for child)

If we really take that long to get a Husband/Wife, we're left with 2 years to produce all the kids the government wants.

Fine, not ALL the children the government wants. The point is that we produce enough kids to prevent an ageing population from occuring.

Thus, the future parents will have about 10 years to produce children! Sounds easy?

NOT.

The thing is, education takes up practically 3/8 of our lives. Working takes up 1/2 of our lives. The remaining 1/8?

Your baby to toddeller's life.

Of course, this varies for different people.

If you are confused at this point, scroll down and see below.

1-3 yrs old: Baby/Toddeller.
4-6 yrs old: Basic Education. (Kindergarden)
7-12 yrs old: Elementary Education. (Primary School)
13-16/17 yrs old: Intermideate Education. (Secondary School)
18 and up: Advanced Education. (JC/Poly/University)
(For guys) 18+ : National Service. (NS for 2 years and up)

Hopefully, you get the main idea now.

By the time you finish University or NS, you're already 20+ years old.
Now include the getting-towards-marriage time of 8 years.

20 + 8 = 28 years old.

OR

21 + 8 = 29 years old.

OR even worse:

22 + 8 = 30 years old!

Now, how will you be able to get the time and f*ck your husband/wife until a healthy child is born?

Me: Emiko-san, my sentiments excatly.

I'm home!!! Hurray! Back from KL, with loadsa shopping done :) Now I don't have to worry about my wardrobe for Poly life!

Anyway, here's to wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

(Although it's like, the 2nd of Jan, but I just want to wish everyone that.)

I spent my New Year in KL and I got to watch the fire works! I'll go more about it on my next post. Right now, I must type whatever I can remember on the 27th of Dec, for we had a BBQ held at Aron's house :D

Let's see, we arranged to meet at Bishan MRT station at 6.00 pm. Once again, I was late... by 30 minutes. Sorry guys...

Once I got there, Cheryl found me and I had to look for the guys around Bishan station. We walked around the station and we still couldn't find them. Let me tell you this:

Bishan MRT station isn't BIG.

Seriously. But they somehow found us and we got into Aron's father's Picnic and drove to his house. (for those who don't know, Picnic is a car. A 7-seater car.)

The 3 tall guys, Chee Kiong, Eric and Vincent were ever so kind to take to back seats, while Eugene, Cheryl and I took the spacious front seats. Eric was so tall that his head touch the 'ceiling' of the car. Thus, blocking Uncle's view.

Eugene was really funny. Convo in the car:

Eugene: *jokingly* Aie, in front very sqeezy, let's move the chairs back.
Guys at the back: Ae!!! (the tall guys protest from getting sqiushed behind.)
Cheryl: Haha, you so mean!
Me: *laughs*

But of course, we were EXTREMELY kind to not move the chairs back. :P

When the Picnic turned into Aron's condo, I stared in awe. The whole condo looked REALY grand. It reminded me of the White House a little.

Anyway, we found our way to the BBQ pit and guess who's tending it? Justin! :) Our cook for the evening. Of course we did switch shifts now and then.

The food was SUPER GOOD. Usually, I'm not filled up by BBQ food, but this time, I ate to my fill!

Okay, that sounded weird...

Basically, we went up to Aron's house as it rained. We played truth or double truth. It was really fun getting to know everyone so much more! :)

Most of us left at about... 11-ish? And some how, I managed to get home.

I'll post my KL trip next time. Taa-taa !~

Grinning,
- Crystal
