a post of favourites
1) My favourite animal
My new favourite animal is the penguin!! Not tt i dun like my old favourites anymore. juz tt this is added to my list of favourites. haha
Watched 'The March of the Penguins' ystd. I LOVE PENGUINS!! wahhaha. they make the best parents ever! they sacrifice so much for their young! n baby penguins are SOO cute!! my gosh. i feel like juz swimmin to antartica now to grab one to squeeze n cuddle! they are so so adorable! haaha ok u get the point.
u shld watch the show if u haven't. its a show with a gd mix of joy n sadness. its oso v heartwarming at times. it was sad when the parents die trying to protect the eggs from the cold. it was heart-wrenching when they showed how some of the penguins' eggs and life of the unborn chick in it gets taken away by the harsh weather. n even more so when they showed how some of the young chicks, aft surviving the numerous trials n obstacles, get frozen to death cos of the snow storm. wat almost brought tears to my eyes was the helplessness of the parents as they looked on at their hardwork n effort gone as their precious egg crack due to the cold winds, and their lifeless chick lying on the ground, frozen to death. they looked n nudged at them, but they would nv move again. nth tt i type here can describe wat i felt den. the 心酸 and 心痛. sobz.
but den again, of course there are joyous moments too. Watching as the chicks emerge from their shells, as they take their first step, as they waddle n tumble n fall as they walk, as they learn to be independent, i cant help but chuckle out w joy.
And when the family finally reunited, tho only for a short while, it was juz so heartwarming.
Though this show was about penguins, it resembles a human family too. the obstacles, the sadness, the joy.. and of course, the love. the love one has for his partner, the love a parent has for his child, the love tt makes one willing to sacrifice even his life for another, the love that can overcome all obstacles.
" The sound is deafening. But somehow, each of them will hear their mate's song."
i really tink u shld watch it for urself to be able to feel wat i was tryin so deperately to decribe here. its indescribable.
one part tt i tot was q farny was when the narrator was sayin that in order for the penguins to find each other in the enormous crowd, they muz rely on sound, not sight. hm... u mean they can actually differentiate hu is hu by lookin? they all look the same to me...
2) My favourite cooking apparatus
My favourite cooking apparatus now is the slow cooker. It used to be the oven when i was always at hme and had the time to bake. Now tt i'm in hall w no time to cook, using the slow cooker allows me to cook homecooked meals so much more easily. Usually juz throw throw everyt in den aft a few hours can eat le. whahahh simple n clean! hhahaah i feel like i'm a salesman for slow cookers.
3) My favourite holiday
Hm actually i dunno if its considered a holiday or a season or a festive season or wat .. but its CHRISTMAS! Christmans is coming, the goose is gettin fat! please put a penny in the old man's hat~
I oso dunno since when and how come i like christmas so much. but it always feels so joyous n festive when christmas is coming. N there seems to be some sort of magic in the air. woohoo!
hahha the christmas tree in my room is up! my third christmas in hall!
ya i know.. its super small. whahaha but cute ma!
<-- the flying donkey...
--> and the kangaroo!
I love my christmas tree! WHAHAAA
i love the christmas decorations at orchard. Its fun to stroll down orchard at night, takin in all the festive atmosphere and the beautiful lightings. I miss walkin down orchard in the middle of the night. haiz. There was this particular yr when the decorations were superb. It had a white and bluish theme and it was magical. its still so vivid in my mind. Ever since den, i din find any decorations tt could beat tt. but i still like them all. whaahaah
hm hu's gona go walk down orchard w me this yr??

No more exams for the next 8 months!
YAY!! had my last paper for this sem ystd. so now i'm officially free! whaahaha
was typin the title for this post when i thought tt if some working class person were to read the title, he or she would be tinkg, 'siao... wats there to be happy abt.. i will have no more exams for the rest of my life..'.. bleagh. its a blessing to be able to be happy over things like tt k! cos it means tt i am still young, still stdyg and still able to enjoy life.
i remembered reading this comic strip abt this old guy who received a phone call sayin,' good news! your blood test showed normal sugar levels.' n a letter saying,' congratulations. this letter is to inform you tt your colon test reveals a healthy digestive tract.' n the old guy was tinkg tt the older he gets, the weirder the gd news. hm.. so its a bleesing to be tinkg tt i hve no more exams for the next 8 months rite?? whahah
anw was sittin at my exam desk aft the paper waiting for my paper to be collected when i suddenly realised i was damn hungry. hm den i realised i din notice tt i was hungry when i was doin the paper. n i attributed tt to my focus n concentration while i was doin the paper, which was gd. den i was tinkg.. now my concentration levels gd.. but dunno 10 yrs down the road will it still be so gd.. would i be much more easily distracted in 10 yrs??
hm maybe i shld really appreciate it now juz in case.. cos realised i had taken q alot of stuff for granted until i lost them. for example, i used to be able to run up the stairs to my house without stoppin, takin 2 steps at a time, when i was young. n i stay on the 21st storey. now ar.. u ask me to run up the stairs IN my house i oso tired liao lo..
n last time i used to be able to eat n eat n eat n wont grow fat cos my metabolism rate q gd. now ar.. i eat n eat n eat.. n grow n grow n grow sideways lo..
last time i'l shit all the excess, unhealthy n undigestible stuff out within few hrs of eatin it. now ar.. my digestive system like shit.. sometimes few days oso wont come out. whahaah ok tt's q gross..
n last time my wounds used to heal damn fast n no scars left behind. now ar.. can tell tt my wounds are takin a longer time to heal n sometimes will hve souvenirs from the wounds somemore..
hm... old le old le.. but still! still feelin blessed tt i can say tt i hve no more exams for the next 8 mths! whahahaha -_-"
hm aft my paper i went JP cos had to go for some X-ray thingy. den ate at this foodcourt. there was this guy hu was sittin at the table beside me. he made 4 phone calls and from the content of his conversation, i could tell tt they were calls to 4 diff ppl. hey! i din mean to eavesdrop! but he really tok super loudly. tink all the ppl siitin at the tables within 10m radius of him knows tt he's goin to thailand tdy. anw wat i found q farny was tt he started ever phonecall with ," eh brother!" and ended every phonecall with ," thanks ar brother!" hahhaha. hm wa he really got so many brothers ar.. i wonder if he knows their real names.. or maybe in his phonebook they are called 'brother 1', 'brother 2', 'brother 3' and 'brother 4'.

My Favourite Soundtracks
My favourite soundtracks are from the animation 'Prince Of Egypt'. It the only soundtrack CD tt i hve cos I'm not a big fan of CDs, especially of soundtracks because i dun usually notice the music when i'm watchin movies unless its really gd.
I watched this movie when i was in sec 1 during netball camp. we had this mass movie goin session which was damn fun. the camp was really a memorable experience for me.. anw for now, i shall tok abt the CD.. hahaah. aft watchin the movie, i fell in love w a few of the soundtracks. I bought this CD from thailand when i was in sec 2 and till now, i still enjoy listening to it.
I love the 主打歌. but i oso like the other songs in the CD. All of them hve inspirational and meaningful lyrics, and the voices of the singers are wonderful. The instrunental parts are great too. hm usually when i feel down or helpless i'l listen to it. It lifts my spirits and keeps me hopeful! hee want can take fr me!
This is one particular song w meaningful lyrics (its a bit religious but i'm not tryin to preach or anyt ar! its juz nice n meaningful.. hee):
A single thread in a tapestry,
though its colour brightly shine,
can never see its purpose
in the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone tt sits on the very top
of a mountain's mighty face,
does it think it's more important
than the stones tt form the base.
So how can u see wat ur life is worth
or where your value lies.
u can never see thorugh the eyes of man.
u muz look at your life,
look at ur life through heaven's eyes.
A lake of gold in the desert sand
is less than a cool fresh spring.
And to one lost sheep, a shepard boy
is greater than the richest king.
If a man lose everyting he owns,
has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning
of a new and brighter birth?
So how do u measure the worth of a man?
in wealth or strength or size?
in how much he gained
or how much he gave?
the answer will come,
the answer will come to him who tries
to look at his life through heaven's eyes
And tt's why we share all we have with u
though there's little to be found.
When all u've got is nth,
there's alot to go arnd.
Though life can't escape being blown abt
by the winds of change n chance,
and tho u'l nv know all the steps,
u muz learn to join the dance.
This is still one of my favourite movies even though i've watched it many times. hee. if u haven watched it before, i tink its worth watchin. somtimes channel 5 would play it during christmas period. ahaha. nice!

A series of unfortunate events..
weitao's lappy n wallet got stolen when he went to bathe.
everyone was in the readin room when vincent, his roommate, made some exclamations... which were really q loud cos i could hear them though i was listening to my mp3 player. so all of us turned to look n him when he told us the bad news. all of us left immediately to go try help him retreive his stuff... if possible..
wat happened exactly was tt tao went to bathe. he met larry in the toilet hu happened to be leavin the toilet. n when he finished bathing he went back to his rm to find his lappy n wallet gone. aft tt larry told him tt as he was walkin out fr the toilet juz now (which was when tao juz entered the toilet) he walked past tao's rm n saw his door slightly open. but he din tink it was weird since doors in hall usually open one... if only he had pushed the door open.. but den he wouldn't hve known to suspect anyt anw. so close lo... actually sj was on this rooftop tt was facing tao's rm too but he oso din notice anyt.
aft tt found out fr vincent tt its actually the second time tdy tt tao lost his wallet. the first time he left it in the canteen. luckily the canteen uncle kept it for him so he got it back... only to lose it again.. he so suay lo! somemore plus laptop. somemore during exam period. wa.. may the culprit burn in hell! argh!
anw everyone tried to look for anyt suspicious.. kept lookout at the exits of the blk n oso help search every rm on his level. he made a police report but dun tink the police can do anyt abt it oso. tink its more of a deterrent ba. hm but weitao was q cool abt it la. tho he v pissed but i tink most ppl would hve broken down.. cos now exam period lose comp is q a jialut thing.. n no matric card no IC how to take exam?!
aft tt everyone oso no mood to stdy le so they decided to accompany him go eat supper, help him relax. such a nice bunch of ppl. =) anw aft tt they startin playin the blame game. mostly tryin to blame this guy cos he on IA n no exams. at first they blame him nv jio mahjong at 9pm. cos if he had den everyone would be in n the thief cannot steal anyt.. den aft tt they realised tao bathe v early tdy so asked him how come bathe so early.. he say cos morning they jio mahjong at 1am so he bathe now den can play later.. so everyone blamed tt guy again. for jioing mahjong.. if nv jio mahjong den tao wont bathe so early den wont lose his stuff! hhaahahah
n there was this guy hu kept tellin tao tt he can go make driver's licence w him le.. ahaah he sounded q happy tt he found company so everyone started suspectin tt he stole tao's wallet so he got ppl to accompany him to go do licence... haaaha
we tok tok tok outside his rm den another guy say wanna take his drink fr tao's fridge. den so suay.. the packagin lousy.. den spilled bubble tea all tao's floor.. hahahah really suay rite! hahah seems like bad things really occur in threes. but gd la.. three already. no more bad karma for him! =)
okies back to tryin to stdy..

a week of nightmares?!
hm technically speaking, exams are next week so next week shld be the nightmare week. but this week seems to be the start of nightmares. literally.
juz back fr breakfast w a few of the uys. den
tao said he wanted to go back to slp aft breakfast. he said he super tired tho he slept damn long cos he was dreamin tt he was joggin throughout the night. when he woke up he felt damn tired. WHAHAH. den
vincent said wat if later he go back to slp den dream tt he joggin again.. den he'l feel even more tired. den if it carries on for the next few days he'l be the fittest guy arnd. hahhah n also the most tired guy arnd.
den
edwin was sayin he oso had a nightmare. he dreamt tt they tried to change his thigh bone for him. they cut open his thigh, took out his bone n put in a new one. BUT DEN... they could not close up his thigh to sew up the opening. so his thigh muscle was juz flappin arnd when he moved. so in real life while he was sleepin, he din dare to move his leg..
n a few days ago i dreamt tt there were 2 dead black cats in
肥肥's food container.. yucks. in the dream, i din know until i reached in to take some food n felt some furry thing. double yucks.
hm okies tt all abt nightmares. down to some serious stuff.
my fren's uncle juz passed away few days ago. He met with a lorry accident. oh man. life is really so unpredictable.. when i found out tt it was an accident, it juz reminded me of the pass few funerals tt i've been to. the unexpectability of the deaths. i mean, death n experiencing death of a closed one is a natural thing but it juz hits u worse when its unexpected. the first thing tt will come to mind would be how healthy n well the person was the last time u saw him or her.(rmb my coaches theory abt wanting to die a suddendeath?hm..)worse is if u felt tt u could hve done sth for him or her but din. it could hve made a difference. but den again, tt's life. u cant predict the future. u cant do everything. u cant care for everyone all the time. u make mistakes. u are not perfect. tt's how it is. as long as u've given ur best in the role u play in other's lives, tt's enough.
whatever happened would happen. maybe i believe tt one's life is predestined.maybe there is a greater someone behind all of these, plannin our lives n pullin on our strings of destiny as though we are all puppets in an extremely large scale n endless play.
