My Treasure Shoe Box...

I have this adidas shoe box that I keep all the letters, notes and cards my friends gave me over the years... in fact I have some dated back to my primary school days!!

It's fun taking it out and read the stuff your friends wrote to you years ago...

My treasure Box!

I realise I write letters quite alot in my sec sch days....

Yvonne Png and Tan LiLian... they are my training mates in cross country.
Yvonne is same age as me while Li Lian is a year younger... was very close to the two of them back then but now we've lost contact...

But the one person who wrote the MOST to me is....

MABLE!!!


These are juz some of the notes that Mable wrote to me!


Eh why did mable sent me a BLANK card??? Sob sob

It's not exactly totally blank but still...tsk tsk tsk....disappointed..

Mable then manages to redeem herself by giving me cards like this...hiak hiak

One of my fav birthday card from mable...nice hor!

Then I have friends that drew pictures of me in these cards....


Vanessa draw me draw until so ugly....diao diao

Bipeng's version of me is Sadako...hmph...



Nicole's card is always very neat and very nice...


Drawn by nicole, cute hor...like it alot leh...
I never had any vday cards from a guy that says..."be mine" or "pls be my valentine"...I also never receive any flowers on vday too...haizz, not pretty enough issit? haizz... why the guys so stupid one....such a charming and pretty lady also they can miss....tsk tsk tsk...the world is so unbecoming now

Anyway good thing I still have friends who do give cards to girls that do not receive such cards from guys....*squeeze dry my hankie...*


Card from Ricky, a JC classmate and Yihao
Ricky made a vday card for me and daphne... my card and her will fit together into a full picture... mine is with cats and daphne's one is with sheep...so nice hor....
Yihao, tat guy promised to make chocolate for me since he is making it for the ger he likes but later he told me no more left for me....wah...so bo xin one...so he made a card for me loh.... I still want the handmade chocolate leh....

Before I came into NTU, I met this friend, Vincent from irc who is also going NTU and going to be in the same lecture group for the first 2 sems...he's really a great friend... I was totally clueless and too lazy to find out abt stuff in sch...and he was the one who helped me activated my NTU webmail, remind me alot of stuff and even printed lecture notes for me...



Although we dun talk much now but I always feel thankful to have such a friend who is geninuely concerned about me...

okie... I think this entry is getting alittle too long...

I shall end it with two funny messages I found in some of the cards...


It's from my primary sch classmate...I got a very gentle bf now liao leh...


I self-declared to have the sexiest butt in my JC cross country team...heehee

Have a GREAT weekend and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Christmas with sweetie

Christmas is over...

Bet everyone had a great time...

Well for me, I had a good christmas too!!

Sweetie came over my place and we made potatoe prawn salad and peach almond jelly and we watch LORD OF THE RING: THE TWO TOWERS...

Sounds like boring? tsk tsk tsk, time spent with someone you love is the best way to spend your christmas!!!

Sweetie bought me something else for xmas too...

A book on cats and a small blue notebook
Sweetie knows I love cats so bought me a book with interesting and funny quotations on cats. I like blue so he also bought me a blue notebook....
And it's a small notebook and a small book he got me... you know why???
Cuz he thinks I'm very small sized.... I dun think so leh...
1.62m is not very small loh.... below 1.55m is small okie?

Anyway, on our way to my house on xmas, I was teasing my sweetie that now that he has a gf, he will have a more "interesting" life... cuz there's someone to make you very happy, very angry, very excited and very upset...

So....

Life before Jenny came into sweetie's life... he has a very stable and routine lifestyle.....

(since sweetie didnt allow me to take his pic this time to illustrate his life before he has a gf.... my bear bear has kindly agreed to make a guest appearance and help me illustrate my point...)

Introducing my Bear Bear...


He takes pride in having cotten wool for his Brain

Okie, back to my illustration...

So before there was Jenny in Sweetie's life...



When sweetie is Sad...
He looks like this




When sweetie is Happy...
He looks like this




When sweetie is Bored...
He looks like this




When sweetie is Angry...
He looks like this



haha....

okie, I needa sleep liao, so late!!!

Black Toes Together

Daphne have a black toe too!! same foot as me!!



haha.... good friends suffer together la...

Found this link at daphne's blog

According to Runner's world
A black toenail happens because repeated jamming of the toes against a shoe causes the nail to dislodge. It can happen when shoes are too big or too small....make sure there's a thumb's width between the end of your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Also, make sure your toenails are trimmed straight across.

Jenny and her Bags

It's coming to the end of the year and ... Xmas = Shopping!! haha

But so sad, I'm now broke.... why??? Cuz I bought two bags in the last one week... I'm pretty sure tat I have a bag fetish...

Oh well... at least it's a healthy kind of fetish, no one gets hurt and me gets happy rite?


a few days ago, I was talking to my sweetie and he sms and mentioned tat he juz sees some minor differences in us... so I asked him to tell me wat are the minor differences that he sees in us... and this is wat he wrote

You are untidy, I am neat.
You are playful, I am 'guai'.
You are gregarious, I am shy.
You are a slacker, I am a mugger.
You are noisy, I am quiet.
You are a BIG bully. I always kana bullied.
You are cute. I am cute too!

...and being a responsive individual I wrote something back

I'm not untidy, I'm creative
I'm not playful, I'm child-like
I'm not gregarious, I do appreciate quality time with me
I'm not a slacker, I believe in balancing work and play
I'm not noisy, I'm full of life
I'm NOT a big bully, I'm juz misunderstood
I am cute, you're QUITE cute only...

Heehee...

okie, today I shall do something bo liao....

I was counting how many bags I had last time and I think I have abt 30+ bags....now I threw some older ones and those tat I know I will never use them anymore and so I shall do another bag count again...



okie...

So these are my two new addition

My most expensive bag!! Xmas present from sweetie, and I got him the same bag but it's in black grey...nice hor.... and it's good for ppl like me alot of barangs cuz got back support and my bag feels lighter!!! Yeah!!!


This is the esprit bag that I've been eye-ing for SO long!!! I did my bag count last time cuz I was eye-ing this bag, everyone told me tat I have too many bags le... did a count, yah, abit too much....so had to stop myself from buying. Esprits bag have seasons I think, so after a while they will stop selling... Then yesterday I was at JP with sweetie, I went to esprit to look at the bag again, was quite sure tat it is gone liao but they still have it!!! and wat's more.... it's on 30% DISCOUNT!!! wah!! and Sweetie tell me since my grades improved, I can get it as a treat to myself!! so happy!!

I got a treat from sweetie too!! Swensen Bake rice and Banana Crumble!! Yum Yum!!

I did quite badly in uni for the last 3 years, all Cats and Dogs... better sems, more Cats less Dogs, bad sems, I get more Dogs and Less Cats...I'm juz scraping thru... this sem I got mostly Baboos, one Cat and no Dog!! Even got my First ANT!! Yeah!!! Not fantastic results but it shows that going to sch everyday and go tutorials even if I didnt do does help (I think I only did all the tutorial one and the rest all copy ans during tut, tsk tsk tsk, at least got copy hor)... I did skip some lectures and tutorials sometimes but not alot...

I'm sure I can graduate in time loh!!!! One more sem to go!! Then I'll be in the working world!! aiyo...actually I also dunno wat I want to work as... but engineering is actually quite a safe course to study, I heard of ppl doing eng then go banking, be teacher also can, yah...so I guess I'll try out different stuff? I mean still QUITE young, must try different things rite?

Today I shall not go down to NUS, will stay home to do stuff ba...

I still have to drag myself to NUS for FYP, I think if it's NTU i wont feel so bad, at least I can do my fyp and have good food rite? or meet up friend after tat...
BUt I think I might be able to do my fyp in NTU when sch starts cuz the PHD student I'm working with is going to work at techno plaza for some stuff...heehee.... YEAH!!


Nobody's around so a quick snap at my workbench at IMRE, my FYP lab
I think my lab smells funny.... haha... very funny indeed

Bleah =P

Orh... must warn you ppl next time go sentosa dun go swim when it's high tide... see wat happen to me...


can see or not? alot of sea bug bites loh.... my legs also have... they bite my face too.... super irritating....

I also have a blue-black toe now...


From marathon loh, I think it's going to take a very very very long time to go away...should I paint my toes to hide it? but I dunno how to paint toe nails leh... I dun have also plus I'm broke remember? haha...actually think I better dun cuz I'll end up painting only one foot then forget abt the next one... I always does tat...I cut my toes nails on one foot then very tired and then take a break and forgot abt it... always took me a while to realise I only cut one foot but not the other...haha

I'm zai rite!!

Truly the Unique Woman!!

okie ciaoz....later!

What's in a name?

FYP....

What does FYP stand for??

NTU's Version -- Final Year Project

Nicole's Version -- Find Your Partner

Kok Leng's Version -- For Your Pain

Haha... Haizz, I still feel tat I'm not making much progress. Did a 9-hour experiment a few days back... actually it is not as siong as it sound cuz it's mostly waiting time...

Put on a layer of Thiol (smelly stuff) and wait for 3 hours, then clean it then put another layer of Silica and sensitive layer and wait for another 3 hours and then heat it for 2 hours with the last half an hour of close monitoring loh...

Research work is really boring...not something I see myself doing at all...it's super boring and sometimes when you put in so much time and effort you might not get any results loh... I HATE THAT

And the worst thing is when you are so careful with your experiment then someone can come and mess it up for you...though not intentionally you still feel pissed loh...

I was talking to the PHD student I was working with... he asked how I find the project so far... I say it's very frustrating and I dun like research work... and then he made a comment "So you like to do things that you dun have to use your brain"..... what???? Hello? Only research work need to use brain meh? That's not quite a sentence a person who use brain will say??? haha, okie, I dun dislike him but sometimes I juz feel tat we're totally different ppl la...

Make me sound like some bimbo.... (but at least bimbo is pretty rite? haha)
Even if I'm a bimbo, I'm a Brainy Bimbo loh....dear dear say it's an oxymoron, ya, a moron that uses oxy (pimple cream la)....

So if you dun like research work means you dun like to use brain??? I think many people will beg to differ loh...haizz

I hate fyp but I have to do it... I have to graduate!!! To go do soemthing tat I totally have no idea on and have absolutely NO INTEREST in is probably a lesson in itself... I will come out a better WOMAN...

Good Day ahead... right, lunch and off to my FYP again!

NTU Lifeguard Makan Trip....

Wah, this morning wake up body aching all over...

Yesterday was out the whole day loh... morning biathlon training at 8am but I reached there at almost 9am cuz the biathlon training always start very late... and there was only 5 of us...

We did warm up and drills then do a ladder down swim 400m, 300m, 200m then 100m with 30 sec rest in between.... I think I died after the swim

But we still have the runs.... one round track warm up then drills then 3 sets of 5x400m run at 5km pace.... this is very siong for me cuz I havent been running regularly and I'm not very fit at the moment...so as usual la, I juz give myself a 50% discount.... did only one and a half set ---> 7 rounds!!! haha

After training, went lunch with dear then go library to try to do abit of reading for my FYP report...then met up with dearie after he knock off

Then it's the NTU lifeguard makan trip!!!

We reached SRC pool at 6:50pm.... suppose to meet at 7pm there but there's only dear dear, me and Linus....

At 7:05pm....


Starving already and where is everyone else???!!!!
We waited till abt 7.30pm then most of the people who are meeting in NTU finally turned up... we head to our bus and

Anyone recommedations?? Dun ask me go resturant...spoil the trip only hor, Singapore can get good food at hawker.....heehee
Looks like I'm on the right track to gain some weight now.....

My Art Teacher....

I grew up reading comics... Dragon Ball, Rama 1/2, sailormoon etc...

and of course my fav RG Veda!



My old nick Ashura was from it's main character...



The Pictures are NICE rite??? Wish I can draw something like tat!!!

I was addicted to manga and animations... I still like them now too...juz tat I dun spend on them now, no more buying comics...but I still have quite a stack at home collecting dust in the store room....sigh

It's probably the reason why I used to love to draw last time... I'll always vandalise all my textbooks... even my friends' and I dun use pencil to draw, I use PEN in their textbooks but I used pencil in mine!!! hahaha.... I remember this classmate from primary sch in particular, Junyi... He's a very cute, fair and plump little boy who sits beside me... I think his parents pampers him alot, he always have the most pens in his pencil case... CDs, Discman, Lots of snacks, always has new RL Stine books... I think I'm quite a nasty little gal, who keep drawing in his textbook during lesson...haha but he's nice, he cant do anything to me also and he always buys my fav snack to share with me... heeehhee... I guess he figured tat since he's stuck sitting next to me, treating me nice will make his life a more pleasant one??? haha, wah, I sound like a mafia now...

Anyway, I used to dream abt being a comic artist.... but my drawings are not up to standard....sigh...and I dun think I have the patience to do that...

Hmmm, after that I went to sec sch and we all had to take art lessons and were introduced still life drawing and I quite like it too...but it was quite shitty sometimes cuz it was so obvious tat our art teacher practises the FINE art of FAVOURITISM.... okie, I wasnt really the victim but I juz felt that she was really unfair when she give marks.... she's still quite nice to me probably cuz she's my cousin's friend in nie (cousin's 13 years older than moi)

Why do I say she's unfair when giving marks?? okie, I have this classmate M, she's a very cheery ger and she really know how to make small talks with everyone and has a really sweet tongue...so our Art teacher Mrs C likes her alot. Dun misunstand me ok? M is a rather good friend of mine... M isnt really very good at drawing but she always gets pretty decent marks from Mrs C, in fact, Mrs C will help her "edit" M's work and then give marks in front of every student... she doesnt do that for any other students... I have this other friend wn... she's rather quiet but is pretty good with drawing but she get penalised for little stuff like drawing too small etc...diao...and wn and m will end up having the abt the same marks....tat's so unfair loh...

wasnt too impressed with that art teacher... I stopped putting in much effort for my art homework, juz enough to get by. wat's the use to put in soo much effort in your work when someone who can get as much as you do juz because she know how to talk?

Come to think abt it now, i wonder what will it be like if I were to raise this issue straight to the teacher when she's "editing" M's work??? BLEAH....

It seems tat I'm rather unhappy with alot of my old sch teachers???

haha...well, they dun like me tat much, I also DUN like them tat much?? not exactly la...juz tat I wasnt the 100% good student.... got 70% ba....still got some teachers quite like me also one leh... like my P6 chinese teacher? heehee

okie, so I'm done with my primary sch PE teacher (the badminton incident) and my Sec sch art teacher... many more to come???

hahaha....okie I'm so bad...I know our teachers give their life in educating the next generation... we should give them more respect....


Whatever la....


I'm sleepy liao, going to sleep and go continue with my FYP tmr....au revoir!!
