how small is the world? or how small is singapore?

lost n found, anyone?

was talking to jianhui online and we just pop up the topic about emerge. Well it started from huang jin lu.. yeap.. no need to further elaborate.
And he asked me whether i know of anyone by the name of bing ding?
that's andy!
My marketing head.
I was like yah.. why?
and he says Andy is his JC classmate.
I am taken aback.
Seriously..
the world is too small..

but the further conversation with Andy make me too stunned for words!
my uncontrollable highness makes me decide to disturb Andy about our affinity..
Andy told me who is that friend i know.
He laffed.
telling me that Jianhui is one of his best friend!
i am stunned.
U know.. we can be acquainted by common friends.
but Best Friend??
Jianhui was my "brother" once!
so i asked him about Jianhui's 21st bday. (i dunno why i am asking this qns.)
and yeap..
he told me he was there!!
GOSH.
i was there too.
At that time. We are like strangers.
And just a few months later.
he came for audition.
A sem later, he is now my marketing head. Gosh!

how small can the world be??

with regards to lost and found..
the above encounter is that i found a fren whom i had spent hours in a birthday party with. Just no conversation.
The next encounter is a lost friend found.

After my batch's emerge. A stranger went to hug huili. A stranger who den pulled huili over towards me and say hello! My long lost primary school friend. One of the bestest and now is huili bestest. although, we never communicate but we still got to keep an update of how's is one's life now. A busy and a leader of her own.

Another encounter who don't involve me. would be ah lao2 sec frens?
he is also from voices!
Zhifei!
he still dunno we know ah lao2.

and it's realli a small world! to know one friend and to know that the other knows yr friend too?

Mayb as we got older.. the more friends we know.. the more people we know are linked together!

i settled that Singapore is small.

being interviewed

i have a dj fren.
yesh.
from voices. (got alot of zai ppl in there sia~)
he is working in 100.3fm.
he approached me n boi for a programme that he is doing.
or..
he approached most of his friends(from voices) for his programme.
it's quite cool to hear yr fren's voice to be on air.
now it is even cooler to hear yr own!!
it's realli a short interview but the way he handled us professionally(almost) makes me feel that being a dj is not easy.
hahaha..
with intruders coming in and out disturbing us.
he will sure have alot of cutting to be done.

yeap!
so if u free..
or u are a fan of 100.3
mayb u will hear me n my boi voice!
i am being rather shy during the interview so i din talk much
or rather.. i am busy eating..
hahaha..
in any case..
i feel that it is quite cool to be interviewed n being broadcasted altho i realli feel that it is nothing much.
but still, it's my first time!!
keke..

it reminded me of the time when i was interviewed by some straits times ppl for emerge.
altho it is just a short review on the papers
it is still cool to see what u have said being published. (okay, mayb 1/2 of what i hav said..)

will do a publicity here for moi fren, shun jie or judson!
support him!
his programme is in the morn in the weekend.
but for this programme that he is doing, he says it will be at night..
oh well..
just support him! :)

give 8 days a clap!

never really tot that i would grow to love 8days.
until boi's influence.
he told me that the way they write is sarcastic and humorous.
I read it once.
and i love the way they speak.

and so..
this is the best comment tt i ever get from 8days.

"the queues at a thousand doughnut outlets across the island only demonstrates one embarrassing fact: sua ku singaporeans have obviously never tasted krispy kreme"

HOW TRUE..

i dun lie.

cos i try almost all the donuts alr.
Those established one.
All i can say..
haiz..
dun waste time queue-ing.
IF u think i also queue for the donut.. i think u got me wrong.
i will never queue for them.
I just got to eat them without queueing and i buy only one.
Seriously.. IT is not nice!
SO yeap..
if u got chance to see krispy kreme overseas.
please buy!!
sunk your teeth into one
and u will came to realise the 1 hr wait is helluva waste of time.

camera tip for the festive season!

got this from the straits times!
i finally can explain to people why you will have blur pictures when u wanted to shot a good night pictures but cant. I very wanted to explain why. But i do not know. I just know wad to do and what to look out for. So party-goers who wanted nice pictures, here's the tip!

to get a great night picture, switch it to night mode. *i'm sure it is easy*
get a tripod if u have one to allow the camera to be stable. If not, try to find a pole or smth to lie against so as to make yrself stable. Tuck your arms to u. Breathe in. Squeeze but not press the button. Hard? u can do it. With a few practice! :)

Reason??
this is beacause the camera had to gain as much exposure(surrounding lights) from the surrounding so as to take a good picture! it's not easy, may take up to 1 min or more. But it is worth to have a great picture to keep. 
(examples: see my pic for Xmas, i have blur pictures for the bbq(cos i never hold) but not the beach, cos i have a support to take the pics! i love the beach pictures! it is the effect i want! tke note.. i took tt pic at 1am! simply love it!)

yeah.. so during the night, let yr camera absorb as much exposure as possible. It is a skill! but it is good to learn! *i'm waiting for my stand! hoho*

happy shooting, guys!! :)

i hate ppl who is unappreciative of clever women

i am anguished..
by alot of things!! oh well, put tt aside.

One thing i discover recently, is how some ppl are critical of some of the good things in the world. 
i tot as the world progress ppl had a better conception of what is realli good and what is realli bad.
i am realli disappointed when i saw this comment on the papers and i was like, "what the hell are Singaporeans thinking??"

yesh, the headlines reads that Xuan Xuan, the hongkong actress had BAD English. Oh come on.. I seriously could not take this dwn. Do you know how clever this girl is? Do you know what uni she goes to? Do you know what major is she in? 
And you say her English 
is bad. For godsake! she is from hongkong. she is here for a show. She is giving u entertainment and u who sit in front of the tv commented that her English is bad. Seriously, there are many true-born breed Singaporeans who was taught ENGLISH from young got worse English than her. (i admit i am one of them!) what is the world becoming? Cant ppl be abit more appreciative of a person?

Seriously, if u think her English is bad. You should listen to the actress/singer who taught English in some of the shows from some country. For godsake, she is a graduate from her own country uni majoring English. And seriously!! PEOPLE think she is good 'cos they like them! 

i am not a fan of xuan xuan. but i admire her intelligence and charisma. She is not v pretty but she has got the brains. 
I cant understand why people are always looking for brawn then brains. 
hate those ppl! 

beauty is a depreciating asset!!! Please wake up! ROAR!

thoughts

i am in a writing mood today.. i dunno why? hee.. newae, i just finished watching the elf from channel 5. And to my surprise, i cried at the ending. I dunno why.. mayb i am feeling emo or smth. But seriously, come to think of it. How many of you out there believe in Christmas? How many believe in the spirit of Christmas? Apart from the Christians who celebrate and honour X'mas, how many of the non-Christians truly know the spirit of Xmas. The spirit of believing. The spirit of giving and sharing??! Many of us celebrate it because it is Xmas. Many of us eat turkey because ppl eat turkey during Xmas. We x'change present b'cos during Xmas ppl x'change present. Somehow, i feel that many of us are too commercialized. Or rather, we are nurtured in this way. Money, self, ego, brands, image! all rank top 5 in our most wanted list. Sometimes i wonder whether globalization or perhaps industrialization is a good thing or not.

oh well.. just a thought. :)

Looking on the bright side, Christmas is a joyous season. Everywhere around the world is all hype up with Christmas decor and people are all shopping for Christmas present! I feel that the whole city is joyful. Today, is good. I bought 2 present. :) One for hq and one for shan. I am happy with my choice! the rest is up to them!!

Another joyous thing to make! i got myself a camera stand! whee!! happy! it will b ship in on the 15th of jan! hahaha.. thanks! woot!! i is damn excited! my own stand.. i am gg to conquer the night!!! happy happy!! (Actually i do wish to own a SLR. but i think it is damn expensive and i do realli need to skills. It took me like 1.5 years to master my cam. okay, correction! to know it better. I still have more to learn from it. A SLR? i think.. maybe wait till my current one is dying! choy!! :p)

oh yeah!! I ish so excited. Big Sharon going to treat us to "kai1 gong1" dinner. That's very nice of her to remember all of us n their promise. Haha.. they going to give out the ipods they promise! Got 2 winners wor. I am a slacker. So i am just waiting for my big meal! slurps! It's like a meal not to be missed!! It's like a one in a lifetime dinner!! hurhur!! Who would want to turn down an expensive and free dinner?? And what's more, a gathering!! hoho!! it's gossip time!!! Seriously, i cant wait!

I can't believe that next week is the Xmas week and i am flying to bkk alr. People, please pray that Thailand will b in peace k. Omigwad.. i can't accept the fact that everytime i am gg overseas, smth big will happen to that country. Please b in peace. ROAR!!!!

Ciaoz. MERRY X'MAS!! (in advance...)

does money makes the world go round?

wad is your answer on this qns? i think this is a subjective topic. Different people had different perspective. For some, money is everything while it is not for the rest.

was reading newspaper today. omg! i read a newspaper. yeap. and the headline for the papers is about the rising cost of commodities. As an econ students in jc, i know the chain of how prices are being affected. Money. Is this what we live our life for? However, think it in another way, if we dun have money.. our life will be damn different. So yar.. with all the money problems featured. I cant help but think of my own financial crisis.. taxi fare increase, cost of goods increase n this can result 
in me being v poor! but hey.. we are actually blessed with the price okay. Given the fact that we are ranked 128 in the world for our cost of living. We are actually "cheap" in a sense.. imagine the one that is 1st. do u know.. korea top japan?? hahaha.. i heard this info from the radio. gosh! and ahlao2 is gg to norway which is the 2nd in the ranking.

One room that he rent for the semester is 700 bucks per mth okay. I spend 300 bucks per mth for my room. Gosh! hahaha.. but yeah.. u get the point? we are still consider lucky..

however, it got to me that.. the next recession is coming.. how soon? no one knows. but it is definitely coming. we had taste the boom, the curve is definitely going to stop at some peak and falls. What scares me is the recession. will it come when i am out of the uni? when i am in need of a job and bam! here comes the reession. Fun hur.. master kor still says i will "wang" in 2008-9! hopefully he is true. but hey, isnt tt scary? coming out of the uni when the recession hit? okay, mayb i am a worrier but news of rising costs had been a growing concern that it is hard to ignore. ahhhh.. i still want to enjoy abit before i work.. hurhur.. oh well.. life!

since we are at this topic.. well, for those undergraduates out there? u know.. if u want to have a good life when u retire.. NOW. yesh! NOW is the time for u to plan n save for retirement. How irony can this be? okie.. i shall stop scaring myself.. i better enjoy my life as a student first before i regret when i grow up! i go see tv! hurhur!!

today.
lie on the bed for whole day.
great!

...... -.-""

GASP!

Gosh!! =.=
this is sure goona kick up alot of hustle at someone's pink bLog!!
hahaha...
i only like one part of the vid and that is
when they are saying the pledge.
do u realise it is changed?
"age,sex,occupation"
clap!!!
i like the second word!
hurhur!!!

WHAT was i before i go into university/year1 sem1?

well, those days were like "normal" days..
work, play, enjoy, slack..

i spent my time on work, play, enjoyment, slacking..
tsk..
i am not saying its not good..
but ya..
looking back..
i feel empty..
mayb i am not brave enough to step forward.
not brave enough to do the things that i want to do.
or perhaps...
i am still young!

for NOW,
i can still play, enjoy, slack for all i like
and in addition,
i have the courage to do wad i like! (it somehow grew into me! heng ah!!)
so yeap..
i set a goal..
i am beginning to see that i am realising it.
even it cost me to be damn poor
but still i is SATISFIED!

TRAVELLING
one of the big word i always dream of but did not have the courage to do it when i was younger.
as i grew older. .
i decide to change my life. 
 
My very first step, 
i remembered was to go cruising with sisters..
it is realli a big thing for me at that time!!
REALLY..
