In my shopping cart...#3

Well, it has been a while since I did this, but yup. Assuming I have money to spend, I would get these:

This pretty dress from modcloth costs US$69.99. I have this thing for polka dots. I think it is because of my alma mater. We had polka-dotted uniform:) I miss it much! This dress gives me a very cutesy feel. I like:D

Heh heh! I finally found somewhere which sells traditional trunks! Doesn't this remind you a little of Harry Potter? They have trunk of so many colours like M&Ms. Haha. This costs like £143.00! Not very cheap for a trunk. But I think I would really get this when I get my own house because it gives a really vintage feel...and it comes in PINK. I imagine a big white bed and a pink trunk at the foot of the bed. Sturdy, good, big, old trunk to keep stuff in.

Isn't this shoe so pretty? It is so fairy-tale like. It costs £89.99.

I love wearing overalls. I think it makes people look like they come from the country side. Quite cool. This is like a pinafore and overalls at the same time. Cute! Costs £32.00.

Did I mention that I LOVE Disney? Yea, I do. I love this bangle from Disney Couture! Pink and Disney. Nice. Costs £28.00.

I hope you like what I got in my shopping cart today! I want to be able to get all of these in the future, so I must work harder now! Gambete! Ciao!

Rebecca:)

Wayy cool stuff. 0.0

Well...if you have a wacom tablet, this is definitely something which you must try. The coolness of this is beyond any explanation! I do not know if it works for normal graphic tablets, but you should try.

You see, I got a intruos 4 so maybe that is why I did not know this till now. Wacom has this really cool application for the Bamboo series called the Bamboo Dock. I was wondering if I could use it but heh heh. I could in the end. Here is a screen shot of it:

The small squares are the apps I downloaded. Some are games and some are just for fun. A must try is the OPS. It is like a surgery thingie. You must do an operation on this person. See if the person survives. HAHA. My third patient died because I wanted him to. Some apps are preloaded. Anyway, the really cool app is the mood tuner. It is cool beyond cool. Look!

It is this app that you can move around to listen to songs based on your mood which is determined by the colours you drag around. After fiddling with it for a while, I figured something out. Green is for classical music and Blue is pop(usually). I am not too sure about the rest though. I was playing around with it and I ended up once with the news...in German ^^ There were Russian, French, German online radio stations. 
-___-||| 


So, I figured. this is a European application so they have European stations. Haha! My only complain is that the songs are not very clear. But then again, I am receiving European stations from Singapore. It is like half the world away. I managed to listen to songs that I like, so I have decided that I like this. It is wayyy amazing.  It would be really great if the reception is better though. Sigh.  


Another application is Livebrush mini. Seriously, I lovelovelove this. It is vector drawing. This is the first time I am trying this and I am already in love with it. However, I encountered a problem. I cannot seem to export the pictures I make into .PNG format so that I can colour it in photoshop. In fact, I cannot change the file format at all. So, in order to show you what I did, I used screenshot. Here:

I will leave you with this:) Go try it out if you have not! Ciao!


Rebecca:/ <--back to studying. 

K-drama?

Well, let me tell you something bad I did. I started watching Korean dramas again! That is not good because you will get addicted to it! I should not have started. But it was soooo good. SIGH. But these choices have consequences and now I am suffering from this consequence. I spent most of last week watching the dramas, I am still stuck with a lot of revision to do and next week is my exam. Thus, I cannot enjoy the drama properly and stopped watching it altogether.

Now I am going to tell you how I got addicted to it. In other words, do not learn from me. I am a prime example of being a bad girl D:

First, I got bored with studying. I decided to find an anime to watch. But it is a very difficult task for me because I am such a horribly picky person. I found a somewhat nice anime---> Itazura na kiss!

http://www.watchanimeon.com/anime/itazura-na-kiss/

I was thinking, it is just a short show. No harm right? I was so happy after finish watching the show because I loved the ending. Heh heh. Then, I saw there was an adaptation of the show from Korea, Taiwan and Japan. OHH! I do not watch Taiwan or Japanese drama usually, so I checked out the Korean one. D: I GOT HOOKED. It was such a good show with good looking actors and actresses. The Korean version is called Mischievous kiss. AH. 

Because I like the cast so much, I shall add some pictures:D

source:http://fuckyeahplayfulkiss.tumblr.com/post/1692602564

I love this scene:P

source: http://fuckyeahplayfulkiss.tumblr.com/post/1660501403

In fact, Youtube has this special edition of the show. AH. Show you how nice it is:D

This is the first of seven episodes specially made to be shown on Youtube. I highly recommend the show.

Heh. Okay. I tell you the truth. I thought the lead actor was cool. So I went to search for another show with him in it. Then I realised that he is a K-pop singer. I do not like K-pop:/ Anyway. I found another show...Boys over flowers. That show was a hit for the longest time. Everyone was talking about it, but I was not that interested. Then, I watched it. 

I think it is nice too. Sigh. But I really do not like the end because the girl ended up with the other guy! :'(

Which pairing do I support? :)

source: http://impulsivesocialite.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/boys-over-flowers-episode-15-preview/

Of course it is these two! Hehe :D I really liked the characters that Kim Hyun Joong protrayed in both the shows, but his actual persona is really different. Sigh. I think he is quite pretty*-* 

After this show, I tried watching others, but none of them was very good. Which is just as well. I must get back to studying. Coincidentally, both shows were adapted from mangas. I want more! But no. Next time!

Back to work, ciao!

Rebecca:/

I got a new one!

Heh heh. I am so glad that the lady at Texas Instruments helped me by doing the exchange on behalf of the distributor. I am very thankful to her because she need not help me:) Sigh. I feel very unproductive in my work though. I have one week of studying left. I really need to buck up. D:

Gambatte! Bonne chance! I must do it! FIGHTING!

Rebecca:/

Oh no.

I am so dead. My calculator died on me suddenly. The worst thing is, the local distributor is having a company outing or something and they will only be back on the 20th June! My Math exam is on the the 27th June! AHHH! My Math teacher will only be back on the last week of holidays too:'( Why did this happen to me??? Is it bad karma? AHHH! Now I have to do without my graphic calculator while doing Chemistry or Math. Grrr.

Ciao, back to studying with my dear old calculator from Secondary one. Please pray for my GC:(

Rebecca:'(

Tioman Island!

Well, I finally got the pictures from the memory card so this post is really going to be full of picturesss. Heh heh. Okay. So I went to Tioman Island, Malaysia with my family last weekend for three days and two nights. My father drove there and seriously, after being awake on the trip back, I do not understand how did I managed to stay asleep on my trip there. The road is like this:

Toyota wish from: http://www.my-cars.org/sg/products_new.asp?make=8

Ya, my daddy drives a Toyota Wish. It is sliver grey though. I was to lazy to search for the correct colour. On our drive back, I was like...I SLEPT THROUGH THIS?! Oh well. This tells you a lot about me, doesn't it? Haha. Anyway, after a three hour drive, we took a one and half hour ferry. I have to say I got really irritated with the ferry service. It was supposed to come at 1130 but we waited and waited and waited. I think we waited for 45 minutes doing nothing because we were afraid that the ferry was going to leave us and the ferryman said that the next one was at 1700. So annoyed and hungry because we did not eat breakfast and I was famished. Grrr. 

Well, by the time we reached the resort(we went to Paya Beach Resort), it was about 1445. We finally ate lunch at the resort. The food was okay. But there was this hornet/wasp/bee that kept flying about our table, well, the waiter hit it hard and it flew away. I was afraid it was going to bring back some of its friends and sting us all! Haha. There was also this cat which tried to give me this puppy(kitty) eyes and get me to give it food. Oh, and an adorable little boy who was speaking a language I did not understand. Ahhh! He is so preetty with blonde hair, blue eyes and sunkissed skin. I think he was trying to shoo the cat away, then the cat went nearer to him and he got scared. He went to his granny. I felt like hugging him, he is sooo cute.

Anyway, we got to nap for a while to avoid the afternoon sun after lunch. Yes, I know I am not supposed to do that. We went snorkeling at about 1600. We did not bring the camera on the first day(REGRET). There were nicer fishes and corals at the beach than the places they brought us on the second day. But...there were also more JELLY FISHES!!!!AHHH! Okay, I promised a mini story on it so here goes. 

Done in PSE:)

Haha, now you know, I am not a very calm person when facing my fears! Jellyfish phobia has no special name though. Pity. Haha. I am pretty sure that this fear of mine came from Finding Nemo. But when you touch a jellyfish, it hurts:( It stings you. The worse thing is you did not offend it! Yes, I really literally hopped/jumped over my brother to get to the other side. Haha.

Okay, I think I talked enough for now. Enjoy the pictures that we(mostly my brother, cause he was hogging the camera) took.

Whoo! First picture of me! with a lot of air bubbles around.

the one that looks like a brain  is the brain coral :D

Parrot fish: a really rainbowful fish:)

many fishes

Close up of many fishes. They are all snatching for a piece of bread.

This coral is really beautiful. I love the colour. It looks a little like lavender?

Somehow, this picture looks depressing. I think it is because of the lack of fishes. Maybe they all got scared away by my brother who dived down to take this photo:/

Sea urchins, lots of them.

You know what was my reaction when I saw this? I was like, heh heh, can I grab one out and make it to uni sashimi, please? There are so many colonies? of them I think they will not miss one! But then again, when I got closer to the sea urchins, they look absolutely terrifying:( They have eyes!!! Scary. Oh and if you are wondering why the corals the sea urchins are lying on are white, it is because these are bleached/dead. More on that below.

Doesn't this picture look so surreal even crooked? Yes, unbelievable but true. I took it:)

Really beautiful sunset.

Oh, I wanted to give you an idea of how this side of the island is like so ya. the circle labelled a is where all the really really beautiful corals are. There were clownfishes(nemo), purple corals, green corals, brain corals and all those other pretty corals and fishes. Oh, but there are also a lot of nasty jellyfishes. Grrr. Try to go there when there is high tide though. It is a really rocky area and it is difficult to swim above the rocks. 

Area b is the jetty. You walk inland, you will see a little shop selling food. The Ice kacang is yummy, specially when you are eating it in the afternoon. The Ramly burger, according to my brother, who ate it, is delish. Not to forget satay for supper. I did not eat that. I do not like satay much, but 10 sticks of it disappeared within 2 minutes. But the store only sells the satay at night though.

Lastly before a shocking surprise, I would like to say that Tioman island is really quite a wonderful place to visit with all the corals. But having been to Perhentian and Redang(twice) I must say that Redang island seem to have more activities to do, more places to go and the beach is really amazing. Tioman island is a really good place to relax, but there is not much things to do there. Perhentian was not so fantastic because many of the corals are getting bleached. It is really upsetting because according to an article I saw the corals at Redang are also dying. Not to mention that the shallower waters at Tioman also had many bleached corals. AHHH! Silly people are making the world go whacko! So if you wanna see corals in their wild habitat, I think you should go soon. Global warming is really endangering the corals lives. Furthermore, do you know that jellyfishes adapt very well to warmer waters? They will take over the ocean if we do not stop this and sting us to death. Anyway that was a little out of point. Point is, if people keeps damaging the Earth, we might only see corals in the aquarium. So ya. Do your part in saving our Earth. 

Guess who!

Lastly, does this photo look like it is of a six year-old child? Well...you know, it is me-___-||
AHHH! How come I look like I am six year-old! I am shocked/appalled/stunned/surprised/speechless/all that I mentioned. Gosh.

Yup. Now you can also be shocked about how I look like a six year-old when I am three times that age. Ciao!

Rebecca:/

Back from Tioman and yarn shopping.

Well, I just got back from Tioman Island in Malaysia and I have to say, I am happily exhausted. I will post more the trip next time. I have to get the pictures from the camera, which is now soaking in plain water after being immersed in seawater there. I have to say that with the camera, the experience underwater is really enhanced. I even managed to take a video underwater. How cool is that??? You can hear things:) I am so excited to show you more. But that will have to wait till I get the memory card out of the camera.

Meanwhile, you will just have to look forward to it and see what I got from Spotlight:) Okay. I always have a budget of how much I spend when I go yarn shopping. Okay. Actually, all shopping;) I told myself that I was not going to spend more than $20. So here is what I got for $20:

Loots of the day:)

Okay, The three books on the background are from the national library. So technically, I did not get those. But the rest....heh heh. they are mine for keeps. Here's the breakdown of the list of items:

Pink yarn---$4
Blue yarn---$4
Cream yarn-$4
Safety eyes-$2.99
5 mm hook-$4.99
Total-------$19.98

Haha. You know what the best thing about this is? I planned to spend $20, but I did not actually count the amount till I was at the cashier. Haha. I totally got a inborn talent for budgeting. Yay me!

I am a little sad though. I think I should have bought a 4mm hook because I did not use the 5mm one in the end because it made my stitches too big:/ Oh well. I will use it next time.

I did not really get to crochet a lot, I was too busy floating in the ocean and avoiding jellyfishes. I am TERRIFIED of them. They sting:'( I will draw you a funny short story starring jellyfishes and moi next time.

Okay. So anyway, I only managed to make these during the trip:

All by me:)

Nice? I know it is not perfect, but who cares. Haha. The snail and mushroom pattern is from the book above. The one with amigurumi. The mushroom looks a little weird because I am not so good at ahem...sewing. Yes. Oh well. I did some modifications to the snail, and I love it:) I am so giving this to Wan sing, my classmate who used to be terrified of snails. I think her fear has been reduced because some friend of hers kept posting pictures of slugs and snails on her wall in Facebook for a certain period of time. Haha. The last is the bow made with my own pattern. Hehe. I will have a tutorial on how to make that when I finish editing the pictures and stuff.

Oh well, I leave you with this picture I edited. Haha. My friend brought colourful Gofish to school to share during Chemistry class. Rebecca ended up arranging the fishes according to colour. But fishes are meant to be eaten, right? So she popped them into her mouth, hmmm. It is a tad too salty for her taste. Haha. Ciao!

Rebecca:)

Yarn shopping tomorrow!

Well. I am going to spotlight for some yarn shopping for the trip to Tioman. I am excited! Not to mention that I will also be meeting my friend for a Japanese buffet lunch. Ah...fatness. But I  believe sashimi is worth it:)

I will post my purchases next time! Ciao!

Fruit fact #1 -Grapefruit

source: http://fraildolls.tumblr.com/

Well, I love fruits. One of my favorite fruits is the Grapefruit. I mean...it is quite obvious right? It is in the picture up there. Anyway, I wanted to share with you the joy of eating the grapefruit! 

Five reasons why Rebecca loves grapefruit and why you should too!:

•  Firstly, it is PINK inside. Well, maybe reddish pink or pinkish red. Whatever. My favourite colour!
• Secondly, it is an excellent source of vitamin C! Do you know that vitamin C is required in the synthesis of collagen? So those of you out there consuming collagen for anti-aging, please remember to consume some vitamins C too, or you are just wasting your money.
• Thirdly, grapefruits are full of antioxidants! It is has one of the highest antioxidant activity! The main antioxidant, Lycopene, is said to reduce the risks of cancer, especially prostate cancer(for guys). I cannot imagine guys eating it though. It seem like a girly fruit to me. 
• Fourthly, there is this thing in the grapefruit called limonoids that inhibit tumor formation by promoting the formation of a detoxifying enzyme. Double joy! 
• Lastly, it is said to help in weight loss. In fact, celebrities are known to have grapefruit diet. But this is the last on my list though. I do not think I can eat the same fruit straight for 10 to 12 days:/

I got most of this information from here and wiki. The first point is all mine though:)

Oh well, in case you are wondering why I am writing this, it is because I have always wanted to be a nutritionist and sharing facts and healthy eating with everyone is sort of my passion:D Thought I would share this little tidbit with all of you:)

Okay, actually, I was going to tell you a nice way to eat the grapefruit. I guess it is an acquired taste because it can be bitter and sour, but I like it. I have weird taste, I know. 

My mom told me that adding a little salt before eating makes it taste better. You know what, it really does. Try it, and tell me how it goes:) Healthy nom-ing everyone!

Yup, that's all. Ciao!

Rebecca:)

GIFs from shows I enjoy!

Well, this post is dedicated to the shows that I love! Decided to make some  of the GIFs because I could not find what I like:)

http://sailormoongifs.tumblr.com/

This is from Sailormoon(love). I should totally do this! I need it!

Made this:)

Believe it or not, this is from Sailormoon. Creepy right? Gives a new meaning to *roll eyes*

http://tvdgifs.tumblr.com/tagged/damon+salvatore/page/35

"I am not having a good time" 

Sigh. I love Ian Somerhalder's eyes. They are blue/green(looks like sliver to me) in colour. *eye fetish*
AND, Delena all the way! Haha. I have this thing for reformed bad boys*wriggles eyebrow* <--I cannot do that in reality:( Love love vampire diaries<3

WARNING: BLOOD BELOW

Made this too.

Okayyy. I know all of you must be judging me now. But I really liked this part. I wonder how did they manage to make? a body. Or was it a dead body?

Haha, yup. That's all. Maybe I should make a tutorial on how to make a GIF my way! Haha:) Ciao!

Love,
Rebecca:P

Break from study break. Some crochet projects to try:)

I am a little excited. My mom just told me that we are going on a 3D2N trip to Tioman Island, Malaysia from the 2nd to 4th June. It is like my break from the intense studying I am going to make myself go through. Sigh. We are supposed to go snorkeling there, but I have this feeling that I might not be able to go into the water due to unforeseen circumstances. In that case, I have an good idea! I am going to make a trip down to Spotlight and grab some Yarns and needles and crochet on the beach!(in the shade) Good idea? Haha. It has been so longgg since my fingers made something! I hope that this journey will be fruitful and I will make many somethings! I have some ideas on what I wanna make:

source:http://handmadekittyblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/onigiri-couple-amigurumi-crochet.html

Isn't this cute? I think it would be nice to make one of these.

source: http://berrysprite.blogspot.com/2010/07/amigurumi-small-takochu-tutorial.html

Here, another cute pattern calling me to try it out! Hehe:)

It is pretty difficult to find something that I really like. Maybe I should make some patterns on my own, try it out:/

Yup, That's all, ciao!

Rebecca=__=(sleepy)

In my shopping cart...#2 [Kawaii Japan (L)]

Well, I have been looking at many Japanese kawaii stuff recently. These are some of them I really love.

source: http://lizlisalove.tumblr.com/

I know that Liz Lisa has many pretty clothes, but this belongs to their sub brand Tralala. Haha. Cute name for a shop that sells cute clothes. This dress really looks nice with the crochet shrug. This is a whooping 7245 yen though.

source: http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/2331_5943.html

Have I ever told you what an interesting website Strapya is? Oh yes, I am telling you now, it is very interesting. It sells gadget and stuff from Japan. All of us know that Japan is the Queen(because countries are female) of weird and awesome stuff! See that thingie up there? It is Blood Slime and...it comes in a blood bag! Exciting??? Imagine the pranks you can play. Woohoo! But there is no price tag though. Then again, awesomeness is priceless:)

source: http://www.japantrendshop.com/relaxing-ocean-projector-pot-p-607.html

Another thing about me, I have this thing for the sea. The clear blue sea, not the one we have in Singapore:( I think it has something to do with me wanting to be a mermaid with long hair. Haha. That was my wish when I was a little girl. This projector gives you the illusion that you are in the sea, cool max? Yup, it will relax and calm you down. It seem to be able to be a speaker too but I am not too sure about that. It would be even better it we can use it for some essential oil. Then, I would be happy. US$68 for one from Japan Trend Shop.

source: http://www.jbox.com/product/FK696

J-box is another place to go if you wanna see kawaii stuff! I lovelovelove cotton candy and would lovelovelove to have this cotton candy maker from J-box. It costs $150! But think, one hard candy to make yummy cotton candy. Nom nom nom! J-box is especially good to look at their bento making aids.

source: http://en.item.rakuten.com/dreamv/501539/

I love this pair of boots. It is sooo pretty. Furthermore, it does not look terribly painful to walk in. A little platform in the front there ought to help you walk better right? Haha. This is not expensive, S$30.29. This is excluding shipping though.

Oh well. This is all for today. Yupyup. I love Japanese products. I wanna go there for a shopping spree. Who wants to sponsor me? Or donate to the ''Rebecca's shopping fund'' Haha:)

Rebecca:)

Happy Vesak Day!

Well. First of all, Happy Vesak Day! I went to 3 step 1 bow this morning(0030), so now I feel a little ''jellified''. In case you are curious, three bow one step is ....

source: http://kmspks.org/events/gallery/vesak2554

Those in the orange robes are the monks that live in the temple and the normal commoners(like me) are behind. Many people think that this is a very silly practice and why do some Buddhist do it. I had to queue for   like 4 hours before I got to my turn. Each session is about 2.5 hours, the distance is about 1-2km? Well. 

"Every prostration is the paying of respects to the Buddha (also include Bodhisattvas). This practice helps to purify the mind, humble the ego and lessen obstacles along the spiritual path as one repents past misdeeds and aspires towards spiritual development. With mindfulness of one’s body, speech and mind during the journey, spiritual qualities are cultivated." 

This paragraph from the temple website sums it off quite well. Whether you believe in it or not, it is your own wish. But this is definitely not compulsory. I think less than 5 percent of the Buddhist in Singapore do it. 

Yup, just a short post. Ciao!

Rebecca:)

5 Cool DIYs I wanna try! #3

Well, I found more DIYs I wanna try! AHHH. I want December first to come faster and at the same time, I want more time to study:( Sigh. Priorities, priorities.

source: http://whatiwore.tumblr.com/post/5360938709/diy-cork-clutch

I do not use clutches, but this tutorial is wayyy cool. It revamped some not-so-good looking clutch. The result is so amazing. Sigh. You can totally pin on some notes on it, especially when doing some grocery shopping. Haha:) Yup, I want that pink glue gun there!

source: http://www.vanessachristenson.com/2011/03/v-and-co-how-to-jersey-knit-bracelet.html

I think the finger weaving method is quite interesting. I wanna try that.

This is really pretty easy! Get it? It is pretty and easy to make:) I wanna.

Yes, another pop tab bracelet. Haha. I still have not started collecting any yet! But I like this:)

Nom nom, anyone? Oreo, yum. Chocolate chip cookies, yum. Oreo in chocolate cookies, YUMYUMYUM.

Yup, That's all for today. Ciao!

Rebecca:)

Amazing videos

Well, I have been looking at interesting videos on youtube and these are a few interesting ones:

This is an amazing video on how to pack up your house(and put on make up) in 5 minutes while your boyfriend is waiting outside the house. It is such a funny video:)

Another cool video on how to create shaved ice from water straight away:)

This is soo funny! For those who do not understand Chinese, the video shows you how to climb up the staircase without feeling so tired. The rationale is, when you lift up your butt with your hands while walking up, you get to use another muscle to help you climb up. Thus, it will not be so tiring. The thing is...everyone will look at you funny if you do that, right? =__=||| Haha. I came up with an idea. Put your hands in your back pockets and pretend to be cool while holding your butt. HAHA. Okay. Even better idea----why not take the lift instead?

Haha. That's all. Yupyup, ciao!

Rebecca:)

Deactivation complete.

Well. I deactivated my Facebook account. I never realized how much time I have been on Facebook, it seem so normal for me to click the bookmark and check in every day. Then, from there, I would see that it is someone's birthday, wish them then carry on stalking people. I like to look at pictures of other people and see what is going on in their life. 15 minutes become 1 hour--> destructive behavior :/

Oh well. I am currently listening to Lady Gaga's ''The edge of glory''. I like it. I realize that she seem to be singing different kinds of songs? Well. I am not a music expert, so it is not really my place to say anything. Oh well. Today is such a blah day. The weather is hot and cold. First, scorching sun, then heavy rain for 15 minutes and back to the sun. The temperature in my room yesterday night was 32.5 degree Celsius. HOT. My father allowed the air conditioning to be switched on so it was not that bad after that. I wonder how my friend manages to sleep without the fan or the air-con. I am not in the mood today, but this cannot carry on. This is not good for my grades.

I am excited for the next episode of Vampire Diaries!!! It is pretty much the only drama I watch. I like movies about vampires with some exceptions like Twilight(no glittering in the sun for me please.) I cannot wait to see what happens next! I do not want Damon to die!!! NOOO! I love his eyes(fetish alert). I am glad that they will be up for the third season:) I think I am very mean. To tell you the truth, I only like watching show with good looking actors/actress. Well. In my defense, watching the show is supposed to be relaxing for my eyes. If I am so disturbed by how the person looks, how do I enjoy the show? Haha. That is just me.

That's all. Have you noticed that I like to jump topics? Yup, I think I do that a lot. DAMON CANNOT DIEEE:'(

Rebecca:/

Onions make me cry.

Well. Right now, my mom is cutting up onions in the kitchen. I am in my room and I feel like crying!!! Whoa! I cannot cut or peel or fry onions for nuts. I will cry:'(  This is not good because I like eating food with onions. For example, pasta(must have onions), tuna with onions and sardines stir-fried with onions(yummy!) So now my eyes are threatening to cry as I am typing this.

On the topic of crying, I wasted my day away on Friday, when I had a half day off from school. Argh. I choose to call it the 'stress relief day' a.k.a 'let me be lazy day'. Well. What I did was...I read 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks. Oh my god. It was so so so good. I watched the movie three times, and I cried every time. It was that good. However, people said that it was nothing compared to the book. I was a little curious, but frankly speaking, I am a little prejudiced. I seldom read books by male authors. So weird right? Especially since it is a romance novel, so I was thinking, he is a guy, it is a bit disturbing that he writes romance novels. Well. I take back my words. He is absolutely AMAZING. I was crying as I read the book-___-|| I would not say the book is better, it is a different perspective from the movie. I enjoyed both. I also watched 'A walk to remember'. It is a movie adapted from a book of the same name, also by Nicholas Sparks. Sigh. I am not really into romance comedies though. I am so tempted to read all the books by Nicholas Sparks now!

On a more serious note, the elections are finally over! I am pretty sad that Mr George Yeo is no longer a member of Parliament. He was our Foreign Minister. That is a very important post in Singapore especially, since we depend a lot on the other countries. I suppose I will not talk so much about politics, because it can be a very sensitive issue. What I will say is, I think voters can be irrational-->not good:(

Yup, I am enjoying the last long weekend this month. Ciao.

Shocked.

Well, today, I was so shocked by one of the teacher's behavior! She makes me speechless. Okay. This really happened. You see, we were having our CCA(something like a club/society) meeting to write our SGC(which is like testimonial) and we were supposed to write down the things we have done for the CCA. Since I am a repeat student, I sort of have a lot of things to write in it because I have one more year worth of stuff to write. Like duh. This teacher, who came in one year later than my original batch, walked from behind me and saw what I wrote on my notebook. I had noted down all the things that we had done in the CCA in year 2009. Anyway, she walked up behind me, paused and SNICKERED!!! Oh my god. What is this??? I know you do not like me or the people in my batch but must you snicker? Where is your professionalism? Well, not like you are much older than me anyway. Okay. I know you must be wondering what is this all about.

You see, I sort of wrote down all the things we did, at the same time, I doodled all over my paper. I frankly do not know if she was laughing at my doodles or the things I wrote. I know that she is prejudiced against me and etc, but you are a teacher. You should not show your students that side of you. It is not very nice of you to snicker at anyone anyway. Arg.

I sort of have a love-hate relationship with my CCA. I actually love what we do. We hosted people from Germany, learned a lot of stuff about ourselves and I got to go to the German embassy. Seriously, it has given me a lot of opportunities to meet a lot of people from all over the world. I love doing that. But the thing is, the people in the CCA can be very very two-faced and yucky to know. For my year, I know it was because we were all leaders in our previous schools, and we had over own ways of doing things, everyone is a leader in their way and there are only so many opportunities for leadership in one CCA so someone has to be the follower. Fair enough. The leaders in the committee were chosen by teachers. Their judgement may not be perfect, but it is non-arguable. For the next year, guess how did they choose the exco members? No teachers opinion were really involved. "write down the names of ten people you want to choose to be in exco" ??? Is this even reasonable? GROWL.

I feel as if I have done a lot for the CCA, but I am not being credited at all. Everytime someone needs help, I offer my help. But this help is not acknowledged, and it makes me irritated. You should really give credit when credit is due you know?

This CCA has really shown me that there are really many many kinds of people in the world. Their attitudes differ and I really do not know how some of them think. So weird. Or maybe I am the weird one. Anyway, it can be amusing or irritating. *rolls eyes*

I am just so traumatized by the today's meeting. Thank god it is the last meeting ever. Yupyup. Story of my exciting life. Ciao!

Public holidays, love ya!

Something happened on Friday which was embarrassing and blah, I do not really want to talk about it. But anyway, I am back feeling much better (and more determined) than ever! I have been watching the news on the upcoming elections and rallies online. It is quite funny to see some of the parties as they tried to make their stand. I agree with some point and disagree in the others. I feel that some of their points seem to be very short term. They did not really think about the long term effects it has on Singapore as a whole. Hmmm...I am really interested in politics. I think I read more about it than my parents although they are the ones voting. Haha. If you are interested in Singapore's General elections 2011, do listen to some of their speeches:)

You know something? I always think and think about why my life seems so difficult. Why must I go through such emotional distress and torture? Why is it that some people have it so easy? Then I realized something. My life is actually not very difficult at all. It is just that I sometimes take things too hard. I see some things that are said about me to be something that is against me. I am just to sensitive to the things that are happening around me. It can be a little disturbing. Adding to that, I am a very (x1000) emotional person. I feel very strongly(is this the correct way to express it?) Well, I cry at movies, I cry when I read my books and I cry when I listen to songs. WHO DOES THAT? 0.0 Anyway, the one of the songs in question happens to be this:

It is a very old song, but I just felt so....sad when I heard it. Maybe you will not feel the same way as I do, but I think it is a great song. How do I help you say goodbye by Patty Loveless.

I had a really really weird dream this week. I invited three friends over to my house for three different reasons.  Lynette, Freya and someone(I do not know who this person is:/) Lynette and Freya do not even know each other! Anyway, Lynette came to gossip, Freya came because she was upset and the other girl( let us name her QQ)  wanted to go out to eat at ''Flaagan's'' <--what kind of place is that? I never heard of it, but I remember it so clearly. But I convinced her to come to my house instead. They all came and settled down in my room, which was very very messy but no one seem to notice. Everyone wanted to talk to me, and QQ got fed up, so she said she was leaving. Freya wanted to tell me about why she was sad, so I sat on the bed to listen. But before she could start speaking, Lynette started talking about something. Freya got very upset and said she was gonna leave. I ended up talking to Lynette while thinking about how bad I felt. Such a weird dream....in the first place, none of the people is as I know them to be. I was so out of control of the situation, I was like a bystander watching while things happen. As for QQ, I have no idea who she is. Is she a future friend I will make? This is so creepy.

Yup, that's all. This is was such a bad week, I am glad it is over. Thank you for all the public holidays:) Three long weekends in a row. Wonderful. Ciao!
