MoRe On HoNgKoNg

time to blog on the attractions in hk. actually this time round, we din go to many attractions. places like disney and ocean park, we sincerely had no extra cash to revisit. however we did revisit some places where there's no need for entrance fees. places like wong tai sin, the peak etc. and we went to the outlying islands as well - 长州 and大澳. no time to go lamma island though. yep..
*

i wanna talk abt jetstar 1st. hmm.. no free food and free drink onboard. u have to pay for whatever food and drink. and the hairstyles of the air stewardess come in all forms. got long de, pony-tailed de, bunned de, short de etc. no standard "format" for their hairstyles. then the seats are 3 in a row, in btw is an asle, and then another 3 seats. no different sections which means tt when u stand up, u can see the whole plane frm the front to the back. leg space is slightly bigger than on a bus. only slightly. and for the food and drink, the air attendant will collect money frm u as they pass u ur food. hmm.... like tt like a bit weird horr?? st.away collect money frm u... then when they are pushing the trolley, the trolley will take up the whole asle, so there is no space to walk. gotta wait for them to pass 1st b4 u can walk. yep.. but it's a budget air lar.. cannot expect too much. comfortable and clean can le lar.. all those frills do not matter. wad matters is the pilot. as long as the pilot is good, nothing else matters. afterall, how much are we paying ???

*

ok, as usual, glutton hubb wanna eat on the plane. though it's ex, he still wanna order. and since he's paying, i also wont stop him lar.... hehhe..

the one with 7-up is wad we ordered when we departed sg. the one with jus-tea is wad we ordered on the return flight. one meal like tt costs $11. $8 for the rice and $3 for the can drink. crazy rite?? provision shop sells 7-up for juz $0.50 lor. they profit 6 times leii.. best.. ok.. i shall stop being cheapo.

beautiful sunrise pic i took while on the plane. artistic???


this is taken @ the hongkong international airport. think their airport more or less the same as ours. world-class standard?? the one at taipei is old though. if im not wrong, hk airport and our changi airport is vying every yr for this "best airport" award. i don know if tt's the name, but there's an award for airports. and if im not wrong, hk 's airport came in 1st in the latest year. and we were like 4th?? cannot remember clearly ......

this is taken at wong tai sin, one of the most famous temple in hk. came here last yr. am glad to come again. hopefully i can come EVERY YEAR. ok.. i know.. fat hope..

this is us with the very big buddha @ lantau island. last yr ma wanted to come here de.. but din have the time. now with the newly constructed cable car, it's easier to come to this place. the whole cable car journey takes 25 mins. can see the panoramic view of the whole hk airport. saw tt flight of stairs?? if wanna see the buddha upclose, then u gotta climb tt flight of stairs. hmm...

the airport. taken when we were on the cable car.

the magnificent buddha. taken upclose

these are movie tix frm hk. i tot it looks like our 4d and toto tix. haha..yep, we wanted to see how the cinemas are like. more or less the same as sing, but bigger and more spacious. ur legs wont be touching the seats in front of u. but the tic more ex than sing. hkd60 bucks. tt's abt sgd12. yep... watched 200 pounds beauty. sad for hubb though cux the show was dubbed in cantonese. we din knew tt. opps, or shld i say it's sad for me? cuz i gotta translate for him throughout the movie. ya.. it's sad for me, not for him! hmm.. not as funny as expected lei.. but towards the end, it's quite touching. so wad if u got wad u've always wanted?? at the end of it, u realised you had actually lost some of the most impt things u once possessed but did not realise the importance. the female lead got beauty and slimness at the end, but she lost her true self, her family, and her frens. i also worry tt will happen to me. wad if 1 day i managed to earn alot of money, fame, luxuries.... but juz to find tt i lost myself, my time, my space, my family, and my frens? how scary rite?? u tot u had achieved wad u had always wanted, but actually u had lost the most basic things in life. hmmm... chim le ba?? ok, i think too much le. don even have a job now still think so much.... (*&#@!#*@!#)((

tt's taken at 长州. saw the tons of boats behind? it's an island and i think most islands, when compared to the main island, are more "ulu". but here quite a fun place lar. alot of souvenirs to buy.
*
some sign boards....








tt's the market. their markets sell living fishes, seafood and poultry de. hmm.. din really go in and "tour" cuz scare of the smell. hehe...







polices at work! wanna take pics with the polices de.. but abit scare to ask and i think they'll reject me.. so forget it ba.

the busy streets of hongkong.....

the beautiful scenaries....






lastly... pics of me blogging anytime, anywhere!!!


too many things to blog. next entry continue again yo!

FooD in HoNgKonG

ok.. starting to miss hongkong already. buay tahan.. miss the vibracy and the happening life there. i simply miss getting out of the building and there are shops to shop. unlike here, step out of my block got nothing but trees, benches, playgrd and kindergarten... duh... hmm.. ok.. as usual, i shall blog abt the food in hk 1st. hehe.. food, glorious food!

all these are frm the cha-can-tings. cha-can-tings can be found easily in hongkong, some newer some older. wide variety of food inside but more or less the same for every cha-can-tings. yep. and i think the thing i ate most often while i was in hk is eggs. most of their dishes include eggs. not one, but 2.

top left: luncheon meat + eggs spaghetti. erm.. not tt nice.. i guess i still prefer spag cooked in the italian way. not in soup.....

top right: satay beef marcaroni.. erm.. also not v nice.. the marcaroni is nice, but the satay beef.. hmm.. doesnt go with the marcaroni ba..

bottom left: beef horfun with eggs. v nice. one of the best thing i ate in hk.

bottom right: luncheon meat + eggs noodle. one of the best also. i love the noodles lei.. but then horr.. this kind of noodles is instant noodles. abit dumb to spend so much on instant noodles when u can cook at home, rite? so though i like to eat, but i seldom order. hhhaha.. cheapo ba?

*

food in cha-can-tings are of a large portion. take a look..

see? the food like a mountain like tt. most of the times cannot finish all de. quite wasteful. and the ever famous 菠萝包.. yep.. yummy..
*next.. lemme intro some snacks...

top pic: wad im holding are 包s frm 长州, one of the island in hk. they are called 平安包. every yr in may in 长州, they have a celebration and one of the hi-lights is for the participants to climb up these tall structures to grab the baos. whoever got the most baos win. so go there of cuz must try the taste of the bao. but nothing special lar.. juz bao lorr.. haha.. got big ones .. but we juz bought the small ones to try. the one we tried is red bean paste fillings de. still got sesame paste fillings and one other, which i cannot rem.

*

wad im holding in the bottom pic is the red-bean chwee kueh. saw it in tv b4.. always wanted to try, this time finally got chance. but to my disappointment, it's not nice de lei. does not taste like chwee kueh de. taste more like nian-gao. boo..

*

the one on the left is po-luo-bao. and on the rite is red bean milk. nice.

yet more snacks. wad hubb is holding is chee-cheong-fun. very authentic ba? frm those road-side stalls de. they got no seats for u. so u juz stand there and eat or find a seat somewhere and return the plate after eating. or u can tabao, then they juz put the cheong-fun into a plastic bag then u can juz poke frm the bag. v cheap de, i remembered. 6 rolls for like sgd1 ? something like tt.. the top rite shows the snacks we bought frm another road-side stalls. saw tt jumbo hotdog? real yummy. but things frm such stalls not cheap. but v yummy lar. and these stalls, they seldom give bags. they cook wad u want, then they juz place on a plate, and u take ur order frm the plate and juz eat there. they don give u bag to take away de. u can add wadever sauce u want, but the sauce are real spicy.

dim sum.. most famous in hk. we went to this dim sum restaurant recommended by a book. and yes.. it's not kidding.. it's filled with pple!!! but lucky for us, we only 2 pple, so can find seats relatively easier. the restuarant was fully packed lor.. and many standing ard waiting. we gottta share table with others. and in our table, there r 4 grps of pple sitting tog. and while eating, pple are standing waiting behind us. but somehow, the pple not paisay one lei. they juz sit there read newspaper, chat, and simply couldnt be bothered with the pple standing and waiting. so we also follow suit lor.. sit there chat and cannot be bothered also. act blurrr... they can wait all they want..lol.. mean hor?
*

we also went to this korean restaurant. wanted to eat steamboat de. but cannot find and it was raining. so we juz settled for this korean bbq restuarant. nver really tried korean bbq b4 unless u consider seoul garden. so although it was rather ex, it's still worth it lar. 1st time try ma. hehe.. and it was yummy lorr.. so nice.. but the irritating korean woman did not allow me to take pics. boo... but i still managed to take a few w/o she knowing!
v colorful hor?? yummy yummy.. but ex..
*

ok.. enuff abt food. gotta go send in applications to claim money frm government, rewrite a stronger resume, look out for jobs offers liao... next entry shall blog on the attractions!

BaCk!

back to singapore again. facing reality again. back to my home sweet home again. hm... weird feeling each time i come back to sing. it's as though i never left b4. it's like, although i was in hk for 10 days, now tt im back, i din feel as if i left sing for 10 days.. erm.. yah.. don know how to describe. anyway, i wanna blog abt the hk trip now, since it's still fresh in my mind. tp trip i'll blog soon. hehe..
*

hmm.. 10 days in hk. i think im really fortunate le. went to 2 countries in a mth. though all asia countries, but still.. and i love hk soo much. last year, when i went and came back, i wondered when will be the next time i travel to hk again. i tot it will be damn long b4 i get to go to hk again. but who knows, in a year's time, i got to go back again. happy. contented. satisfied. thanks to all who made this trip possible. thanks to family for their financial and moral support. and thanks to hubb for the physical support.

*

hongkong. a place i love so much. don know y. maybe it's cuz of those hk drama series i've been watching since young. always get to see and tt's y i feel familiar. and cantonese. yea. i juz love everything abt hk. hk is v different frm sing. shall compare and contrast now.

*

Shopping

in singapore, most of the times we shop in shopping centres, with the air-con and the v-nice environment. and the shopping areas in sing are more or less concentrated like orchard and bugis. but in hk, regardless of which mrt station u exit, u get to see shops, shops and more shops. all kinds of shops. so basically, u can juz shop on the street! it's juz so cool and vibrant. unlike sing.. only shopping centres.. so ex..

*

People

in hk, i don know y, but there are juz sooooo many pple on the street!! super super many pple. regardless of which mrt station. don know where the pple come frm. everywhere u go, u see nothing but tons of pple. amazing.

Food
mostly can be found in cha-can-ting. apparently they have no hawker centres or coffee shops. but plenty of chacan-ting. food inside are of a wide variety. rice, noodles, vermicelli, marcaroni, horfun, toast, sandwiches, bread etc etc. the food are quite ex. one meal on average abt 5, 6 bucks. no joke. and the food are of a big portion.
besides cha-can-ting still got resturants, fast-food and those road side stalls. but those road side stalls also not cheap de. one stick of beef ball can cost $1.60. hmm..

Toilets

it's so difficult to find toilets in hk! in sing, all shopping centres have toilets. but in hk, even the shopping centres don have toilets! or rather, there are toilets but the toilets are locked and only accessible by those tenants. can u imagine how irritating it is when u r urgent and u finally found a toilet but only to discover tt it's locked?? as a result, when we need the toilet, we'll look out for mac or pray tt there are public toilets nearby. darn pathetic de.

yep, those 4 are the most salient differences b/w sing and hk. i think hk's a more vibrant place than sing. everything also more. more stuff, more pple, more food, more ex. haha...
*

this time we went to plenty of places. wong tai sin, madame tussaud, lan kwai fong, the peak, cheung chau, tai-0, lantau island, avenue of stars, victoria harbour.... juz to name a few. but we din managed to go macau (cuz ferry tix too ex), the jumbo restaurant, and the tvb tv station. but more or less we went to most of the places we wanted to go. great!

*

and this time, i bought so many more things for myself as compared to taipei. hahhaha... this time i know how to dote on myself le! bought 3 pairs of shoes, 3 tops, 3 pairs of earrings, 1 shorts, 1 bag, i bracelet, 2 key chains, and a pic of myself @ victoria harbour taken by those professional paid photographer. look at tt BIG pinkish bag i bought to carry all my stuff back. hee..woohoo! well done ping!

ok.. lastly wanna thank hubb for accompanying me and tolerating me for 10 days. there are plenty of quarrels, no kidding. and some quarrels are rather heated. haii.. but there r times when im really nice too, rite? don know leii.. haii.. only 10 days also soo much quarrel.. maybe we really not compatible? boooo.. anyway, thanks hubb. love ya.

ok, blog till here. next entry will blog more and post more pics. so there!

*

ok.. i shall stop being a parasite.... i know time goes on and i must face reality. meanwhile i shall enjoy my time here... provided the weather helps me!!!!!

*

hmm.... so far not too bad lar.. went to quite a number of places and took plenty of pics. but somehow, i sux in the pics.. fat and uglee!! irritating. been eating and eating .. haii.. jialek.. hmm.... and the saddest thing.. i lost my good old handphone!!! arghhh... i think it dropped out of my pocket without me knowing. ok...i know it's of an old model and i shld not be too sad.. but still, it's a workable phone lorr.. and the phone has been in our (our= me and my sis) possession for years lorr.... now lost.. real sad. but the pple here really helpful. frm the bus captain to the ferry captain.. they really tried to help and yep.. v nice of them. poor phone.. im sorry i lost you.

*

i realised the food here kidda ex lei. even in those "cha can ting"... one meal on the average abt $5+. hmm... and our room.. reall small... but comfy and cosy. aircon works well, heater works well.. not bad already considering only abt sgd40 per day. at 1st i was really worried abt the room. cuz so cheap ... sure lousy.. but ended up ok lar. "mai hiam buay pai" lar... and at night if return after 12am, the building will close all entrances except for one, and security guards will take down the info of pple who enter the building. hehehe.. interesting eh. tt gives me security!

LeaVing YeT AgaiN

in another few hours time, im leaving for hongkong le. seriously now im not as enthu in goin to hk as i always am. i wonder why. i guess im too tired le. juz back frm taipei and in less than a week, travel to hk again. and im suffering frm sore throat and cough ever since im back frm taipei. juz went to see doc this morning. and i guess it's due to the cough syrup tt im now abit drowsy even though i took a nap juz now. and... to make it worse, im feeling a little feverish now. gosh.. wad am i doing? i really shouldn have planned the 2 trips so close to each other. shld have more time to rest in btw. i tot i could take it.. but now.. haii.. and i havent pack my luggage or plan the itinerary. the flight's at 6.40am.. gotta leave at abt 4am.. arghh...
*
and the 1000 notes. no banks wanna exchange small notes with us. the money changer say they don have small notes. but they told us tt only 1000 notes issued in year 2000-2002 are not being accepted. those issued on and after 2003 are usable. still feeling unsafe, we called up our hotel in hk and the person said tt it shld be ok to use the 1000 notes. ok.. i juz hope all will be well and safe. yeah. i'll try to enjoy myself! yes, i shall be enthu! I WILL ENJOY! cheers!
*
and i gonna miss next week's yoga also. 8 lessons and i missed 2 lessons. boo... waste money. talking abt yoga.. i think i really am not feeling well. couldnt perform the "acts" properly juz now. usu im ok de lei.but juz now doing those acts was really tough. im really worn out i guess. ok.. i know the place where we will be staying in hk has computer and internet access. hopefully i'll get to blog. back on the 25th may. till then, so long!

The LonG AwaiTeD DiM SuM TrEaT

went out to have dimsum with bnf gang @ redstar restaurant near chinatown. we agreed on this dimsum outing long long time ago, but because of fyp, examz, trips and other commitments, it was postpone till now. finally we had our dimsum outing!hmm.. the food there ok lar. but the service.. err.. it's those push trolleys de.. then somehow the trolleys seldom come to us. boohoo.. and xiuhui and jas leaving tmr for their france exchange. may they have a wonderful experience!

after dimsum went meet hubb. wanna exchange the hk big notes to small notes. the money changer lar... when we exchanged, he gave us all in $1000 notes. now in hk, there are fears of counterfeits $1000 notes and i think many will not want to accept $1000 notes. when we requested the money changer to give us small notes, he said doesnt have small notes. wad the... so we ended up having to go to the banks to exchange. and so, we went POSB. POSB said they do not hold foreign currency. then we went UOB. then they said the hk's currency's "out of stock" and tt if we want to exchange, we gotta go to the main branch in raffles. wad the................. y issit like tt ??????? now all we have are 1000 hk notes.. don tell me cannot use horrr! hopefully hubb can find a bank to change for us tmr.

*

and my hair really sucks. i really think this color doesnt suit me! gosh.. it's uglee!! makes me look old, dull and serious. diaoo .. sad.. haii.. and i think i put on weight. my face so darn blurdy round now.. arghh!! y like tt @#&^@&#@^#&

look at the bottom right picture. hehe.. the popiahs made by me, sis, and bro are showed here. guess which one is mine?? hahha... the one in the middle is mine la. the one on the left is bro's and the one on the rite (and the biggest one!) is sis's. bro really has a talent for making popiah. v neatly and nicely done. somehow, it tasted better too! sis one was like so darn big lar.. too greedy, put in too much fillings le. maybe bro should start up a popiah stall since he seemed to have a flair in it. lol..

pics we took... finally managed to catch my bro on camera! hahaha...

These are my mother's day gifts. Gucci perfume and a cream tt is supposed to remove black spots on the face. hehe.. bought from taipei de lar. bought the perfume at a shop tt is something like SASA..thou the perfume's cheaper when compared to the mkt price, but it's still quite ex de horr.. don say i bo xim! and hopefully the cream can work yeah. happy mother's day! i hope mama will always be healthy and happy!

o, and if u haven notice, i dyed my hair. no more blonde hair for me le. sad.. regret... i think this new color doesnt suit me!!! it's supposed to be reddish de... but somehow now, it's neither black nor red nor purple... don know like wad kind of color. i don like!! i prefer the previous golden one!! this one makes me look so dull and serious. o man o man o man!

My GraD TriP MaTe

woo.. im back for 3 days le. hmm.. too many things to blog abt,don know where to start. and the pics are not ready to post yet. haha.. anyway.. feels weird to be back. it's like as if i never left b4. weird feeling. last week de now, i should be in the hua-yin street shopping area? hmm... how time flies. took plenty of pics, wait till i organise them then will post and describe my this trip to taipei. yea.
*
anyway i wanna take this chance to thank Miss Ng Eng Han. hehe.. my grad trip partner. thank you for being there during that 7 days in a foreign country. it all started with us at changi terminal 1. wanted to look for burger king, but cannot find. then miss ng started looking at the brochure tt tells us wad r the shops available at the airport and the locations.
miss ng was like "correct lei.. level 1 ma....y don have?"..
then we walked here and there trying to locate the burger king, but to no avail.
then i looked at the brochure "hmm.. ya lorr.. correct lei..level 1 ma. this is level 1 ma. y don have huhh??"..
and we walked and walked again...
until suddenly, miss ng said "aiyoh! we've been looking at the wrong thing. this one is for terminal 2, not 1!" (-_-"")
*
miss ng looked at the wrong part of the brochure. we were at terminal 1 but she was looking at the info for terminal 2. and i, as a second-looker, instead of realising the mistake, continued with the mistake. how kuku kia can the 2 of us be?! it was then when i started having doubts. can the 2 of us really handle??
*
but the 7 days proved to me tt WE CAN MAKE IT!! we got no prob getting ard at all. managed to find all the places tt we've planned without having to take cab or join tour. im really proud of ourselves. 2 gals, all alone in a foreign land and we survived! cool!! okok...fine..i exaggerated..it's a fact tt we know the language and tt we r able to speak and read chinese, so it shld be easy to get ard and there's nothing to be proud at all. but then again, it's really not easy de lorr.. it's a foreign land afterall leii... hehehe
*
thanks han, for being with me during the 7 days. sometimes my mood was not as good as other times. sometimes im more eccentric than others. sometimes im indecisive and fickle. sometimes im troublesome. thank you for bearing with me and i apologise if i've made u unhappy unknowingly in any way. cuz some days i wasnt feeling v well, so temper mite not be tt gd. hhee... and remember tt perfume shop? ur sweet little act really touched me. really. thank you for being sooo sweeeet. the 7 days in taipei had been great. im really proud of ourselves. u had been a great partner and hopefully i had been a great partner to u too! hee.. i'll miss the time we had in taipei. hopefully in future, there'll be chances for us to travel again yea!

BeForE LeaVinG

o.. the long awaited day coming soon le. hm... it's a long way man. frm the discussion, who's in who's out, booking of tix, searching of hotels, bking of hotels etc etc etc. haha.. now finally time to go le!

*

u know.. there's always this feeling of sadness when u know the thing tt u've long been looking 4ward to is happening soon and will be over soon. in a year, there'll be at least 2 times tt i'll feel this way. one is new year, and the other is my bday. u know.. u'll look 4ward, then when it's going to end, there's this sense of lost. hmm.. don like this feeling. but wad to do? time waits for no one. good things, bad things, all will come to an end.
*

hehe.. on wed went jb with hubb again. this time went for serious stuff. gotta buy the toiletries and stuff... ok, im cheapo.. but jb's stuff really cheaper lor. worth travelling so far. and the place's fresh to me ma. so the shopping mood's better. hee..

*

this time besides city square, we went to kota raya also. couldn't find the Tebrau City lei. and it was at kota raya tt i did the "main thing" tt im supposed to do in jb.. and tt is to.................... straighten my hair!

*
surprise? been having curly hair for like 2 months plus? then the curls like not so nice le. diff to maintain also. go overseas with the curly hair abit the mafan also. so decided to make it straight. there's 2 options basically. one is to "wash" it straight and the other is to rebond. asked a few salons and most suggested rebond cuz washing straight is very damaging. and so, i rebonded! haha.. most quoted me rm150-rm180. but ulimately, managed to find this salon tt offered me..... RM120!! so i rebonded, treatment and trimmed my hair for only $54 sing dollars?? hahhahah.. real gd bargain i supposed??
now.. do not blink ur eyes...

*

*

*

TADA!

ok.. compare with "before"...

so which one nicer? hubb said the new one nicer. but mum said the curly one nicer. sis was surprised and said she's not used to seeing me in straight hair. wad do u think? (no need tell me the ans. hee )

*

i wonder how come the "liquid" is so powerful. straight hair can become curly hair and curly hair can become straight hair again. how shen qi! hee.. and I wanna thank hubb for accompanying me.. 3 hrs u sat in the salon chatting with me. thanks. though u disappointed me many times.. but sometimes, or most of the times, u r very nice de. hhee..

*

ok.. so there. i hope there's internet access in the hotel, so i can blog every night in taipei. if not, see u all in a week's time. i'll be back! o .. and i wanna say.. i do feel sad leaving. don know y. only 1 week also like tt. i'll miss my family, i'll miss ah kang, and i'll miss hubb. haii.. i think i overestimated myself. 1 week also feel sad.. how would i ever go to hk for exchange and is for 6 weeks? i really overestimated myself le. im juz a dependent weakling. weird thing is, last time when hubb went for overseas training, i don feel sad de lei. but now tt im the one leaving, i felt sad. weird. y issit the one who's leaving will feel sad huh? hmm....i hope i wont cry when hubb sends me off at the airport tmr. o man.. this is embarrassing!

*

and thanks to all who gave me angbows to wish me heng heng (quoted frm ah yan). thanks to pa and ma, sis and bro in law, brother, soh soh, and hubb. hehe.. even bro gave me an angbow. so nice of him. rare. hahaha..ok, i hope all will go well and we'll enjoy ourselves in taipei! yeahyeahyeah! will miss ya all!

MaY

ok. it's labour day. 1st day of the month. time to help my blog change image le. this month's supposed to be the red theme. but .. hhaa.. somehow.. this one looks much better than the red one i was trying to make juz now. cool. i love my new blogskin! sweeeet! ok.. cannot change every month. not enuff style.. think change once 2 mths better? hehe ;)

What's ThE PoinT?

*
wad's the point of giving someone who loves ice-cream an ice-cream when he is suffering from toothache?
*
wad's the point of giving someone who loves to travel, an ard-the-world air ticket when tt person is ill?
*
wad's the point of giving a person a life buoy when tt person is standing on shore?
*
wad's the point of stabbing a person in the heart and then apologise after tt? why tt make the pain go away? will tt erase everything tt had happened?
*
wad's the point of me citing so many situations?
*
the point i want to make is, pls give pple wad they need WHEN they need and give ppl wad they want WHEN they want. timing is always an impt factor. do the right thing at the right time. wad's the pt of telling me tt u'll do this and do tt when when i 1st asked you, you rejected me flatly? sometimes, it's just too late. but somehow, you never realised.

i know money is a very very impt stuff. in fact, it is a very lethal power. double-edged sword, i should say. it can bring you plenty of happiness and satisfaction. but at the same time, it can hurt and break you. it causes pple to come together, yet at the same time, it causes pple to have conflicts and split-ups. how many times we saw in the news tt family members are fighting lawsuits because of money issues? that hk filthy rich woman who recently passed on.. she too fought in court with her father-in-law because of that big sum of inheritance, right? how many times we saw in the news tt family members/frens are killing each other because of money?? fathers and sons, family members - the same type of blood flows in their bodies, yet money is able to make them turn their back against each other. friends - the years of friendship cannot even stand against the temptation of money. husbands and wives - pple who are so intimate, who sleeps together every night, can also betray each other when it comes to money. so, why shld i expect so much out of a pure boy-girl relationship? why should i expect him to lend me his debit card just in case i met with emergencies when im overseas and i can have access to money? why should i think tt he'll trust me with his money? why should i think tt he'll let me use his money? i must be crazy. or should i say, im juz plain naive? thinking tt love will make everything work?

*

he doesnt understand y i always love to use money as a guage of how much he loves me and i think he never will because instead of trying to understand why, he simply smsed me "childish". so "childish" is all tt he can use to describe this tendency of mine. how sad. like wad i wrote in the v 1st sentence - money is v v impt. if someone is willing to trust me with his money, to let me have access to his money, doesnt it simply shows tt in tt person's heart, im soo much more impt than money? is this not the logic tt i've always think is correct? how can i rely/depend on someone who views money so much more impt than me? how can i rely/depend on someone who doesnt even trust me with his money? if one day, i need to borrow a large sum of money frm him, will he lend me? if one day, someone wanna rob us, will he grab his money and run and leave me to die? if one day he has to choose btw his money and me, will i be the second choice?

*

dramas always show those husbands giving the wives supplementary cards to spend. in reality, issit like tt? or such things only occur in dramas? i think it does happen cuz my bro-in-law gives a supp card to my sis. will he? maybe we are juz not in tt stage yet.

*

i know im contradictory. rite in the beginning i cited so many examples showing how money can destroy relationships. yet i still believe tt there will be someone who will trust me with his money. hahahaha... im so naive!

*

i cant help but feel hurt and disappointed. quoted frm my fren "expectation is the root of all heartaches" - I think i fully understand the meaning of this sentence le.

TiaN Ahh....

ok.. im here to complain abt tuition again. i know i shouldnt be mean. kids are kids and i should not expect them to be... erm... to be unlike kids?? but .. arghh.. why they cannot understand very simple thing??

*

Cecelia bought a dress for $102. then she bought a jeans which is $45 cheaper than the dress. If she still had $2802 left, how much did she have at first?

*

o well.. i don know wad to say. i think it's the understanding of the english tt is a prob. or maybe, they cannot see the logic that amt spent + amt left = amt at first. or maybe,they cannot understand comparison words like "cheaper", "taller", "more than", "less than" etc etc etc.. haii.. his mid-yr is starting this fri, which is also the day tt im leaving for taipei. haii.. really worried for him. i think most kids have prob with problem sums. last time tt gal also. those short ans de, they can handle. but when it comes to prob sums, they cannot handle. why issit like tt? i really think is the understanding-of-the-english problem. but....... how to cure this when everything is already stated so simply????? explain explain and explain.. but when u ask them to do .. they cannot again. why?? o man.... o man... :( this is juz frustrating!

27th ApriL 2007

27/04/2007 - this is a very impt day. a day i've long been awaiting for. hahaha... my last paper in ntu ended on this day!!! wooohooo!!! although the paper really super cui.. but.. well.. there's nothing else i can do but to forget it and enjoy!! but then, im really prepared for the worse le lorr. most prob will flunk this paper. haii.. backside really itchy. ge all fulfilled liao.. then kenna sai go take 308.. don know for wad.. originally all passed, no fail de.. in the final sem then fail one module... arghh!! wad the.... see lar?? result of backside-itching! but really no regrets la. the saddest thing is not when u don know how to do the paper. rather, it is when u know the paper is easy but yet u still cannot do. this happened to me once in jc. the maths paper was super easy and i knew i could do it if i studied. but... i still cannot do it though i know it's easy. tt paper disturbed me soo much till the extent tt once i reached home, i burnt it. yes, i burnt it. haha.. i was so angry with myself. cried and cried and burnt the damn paper. but this 308 paper is diff. the questions were really tough. and i know even if i study really hard, i still wont be able to do it de. so... not so bad.. haha.. ok.. im incorrigible. happily finding my way out for not doing well.. duh..

*

*
alrite!! one more paper and one more day to go! hehe.. yesterday had my translation paper. real diaoo.. there were questions which were completely duplicated frm the test tt we had. the tutor ar.. lazy neber change questions! tt time after tt test, he gave us the ans sheet. so i have been looking at the ans sheet for the final exams! but cuz i never expected the questions to be exactly the same, i din really bother to rem wad i saw on the ans sheet. and ... yeah.. yesterday, for those questions, i still ans them in the same way as i ans for the test. after the paper, i heard some pple saying tt they will never forget how to ans the questions cuz tt time the tutor marked him wrong..... but then.. did the tutor returned us the test paper? no rite????? then how he know tt the tutor marked him wrong?? shit... did i miss out on anything?? bu hui ba?? diaoo... maybe the tutor wasnt lazy.. he purposely set in same questions to see who really paid attention to their mistakes and learn the right way. but, translation, there's no 100% rite or wrong de rite?? as long as the gist and the structure correct then can liao ma. no need word by word correct rite. but according to wad i overheard, the tutor seemed to be a strict marker. gosh... cannot afford to flunk this paper lei... if flunk then no more minor le leii!! don scare me... still wondering how tt guy know how the tutor marked for the test lei...
*
yesterday after the paper met up hubb and went eat dinner. ate the jp's crystal jade. they renovated.. but i prefer the previous one. last time it was bright inside.. now tt they renovated, becomes rather dark inside. think they trying to produce the "classy" feel. anyway, these were wad we ordered :
*

top left corner: sze-chuan dan dan mian
pls do not order this. usually at crystal jade, i will eat the mince meat la mian. but yesterday i ordered this dan dan la mian. cuz last time at taka, there's this food fare. then the dan dan mian they sell is yummy. tt's y i always tot tt dan dan mian is yummy. but this dan dan mian at crystal jade failed me. the 1st mouth was ok. but subsequently, argh. there was only noodle. nothing else. not even abit of meat or veggie or anything besides noodle. maybe except spring onions. and the taste was.... argh!the soup was thick and got this peanut smell. argh.. felt cheated.. haii..
***
top rite corner: chicken in shaoxing wine
i never like alcohol but hubb loves. this one is he ordered de. it looks gd, doesnt it? but... i don like the taste as well. maybe cuz of the wine. and.... the chicken's cold. literally cold lorr.. think is served cold de.. weird....
***
bottom left: deep-fried pork rib
ok.. this one is gd. and the pork rib v bigg pieces. ok la.. taste gd.
***
bottom right: xiao-long-bao in soup
hmm.. normal lorr.. juz xiao-long-bao.. nothing super special.
***
dessert was this souffle ball with red bean paste and banana. sounds yummy rite? but actually not so. and.. it's hot de lorr.. think they go fry the ball with the paste and banana inside. the skin tastes weird also. when i expected it to be hot, they served me cold stuff. when i expected cold dessert, they served it hot. (-_-''')
***
all in all, i din exactly enjoy the meal cuz the food not nice. boo.. disappointed! but.. hubb treated de. so i still enjoyed la! thanks hubb!

i think 308 is a cursed module. or maybe someone put "sleepy powder" on my notes. ah yan issit u?? or han or xh or jas??? haha..i wonder y i'll always feel sleepy whenever i read the 308 notes. sitting on the sofa reading and eventually, i'll end up napping on the sofa. don know why. maybe it's too comfy, tt's y. but how do u explain when the same thing happened when i sit on a proper chair and read on a proper table? to make myself uncomfy, i even tried sitting on the floor so i wont doze off.. but.. haii.. the concentration span is juz too low. read for a while and i wanna do something else like..... munching?? haii... it din help when there's so many tidbits at home.. wan dan le... F-A-T!!!!!!!
