Pre-liminary Pre-exams Plan (PPP)
A few episodes has passed and here i am, one day before my exams typing away on my blog. Perhaps this may be the perfect solution for my writer's block for my SSA paper tomorrow. Kept feeling this sense of hesitance before writing anything on paper. A little like how OY ponders over his words whenever he speaks. Kinda weird isnt it. I used to think that my hands and my mouth are controlled by a sub-division of the brains. AKA i dont have to have conscious control over them. They just do work! Well, not the case not the case. Gonna force the engine to start working!
As part of tradition, here's it. The perfect exam scehdule that is FINALLY about to begin.
30th Nov-- SSA1201 singapore society (or so what i believe it to be)
3rd Dec-- CN4111 process design and safety (might be the other way round. not too sure. aha)
This 2 weeks of break has been... awkward. On one hand, my friends mugging away sends signal to me that perhaps its time to start my revision. At the same time, my procrastinating-nature plus pragmatic mind told me that its too early to start. and so the fight WITHIN myself begun and procrastination won. hands down.
Thanks Miao and Wen for celebrating my bday and rotting one day away with me despite exams and all others. haha.. the chalkboard... is now filled with exams blessings (aka chinese new year blessings-- ji xiang ru yi, shi shi shun li yada yada) for my superstitious self. haha.. Thanks glad for eating California Pizza with me. haha.. maybe we shldnt have ordered thin crust 'cause it was really pseudo roti-prata-thickness!! and the lactose free milk you bought went down my tummy already. I swear not to kill myself with normal milk this exams season! By the way, fren was amazed that u bought milk for my bday. He went: you mean she bought u 'nai' for your bday?? haha... it was funny eh!
Watched this German film during the film fest. The first idea was... u mean this is the end? haha.. Cant remember the first german film i watched-- impression was that people were jumping on each other and there was a mother who rejected advances from this rich guy somewhere. er. The second one was about exorcism which left me tired and thinking that maybe german films are too heavy for me. AND yet again, i went for my third one this year. Relatively enjoyable. haha.. but i must say.. contrary to the jumping on one another sort of film, this was kinda subtle. This gentle 17yr old boy learning to love his daughter. He has perfected the look of amazed-- as if he is looking at something fragile and out of the world. Maybe some little ET. haha.. that little girl was perfect! But really.. you mean thats it? thats the end?-- thats the only surprise that I had=p
Want to watch An Education. It sounds good and interesting on the newspaper.
Plans for the holidays:
BioBiz planning
Chinese History Refresher by playing Romance of the 3 kingdoms IV (1995 version)
Dempsey Hill for lunch
Kusu Island
Japanese Themed Museum
Bangkok trip (6th~10th Jan)
oh. i forgot FYP.
Further suggestions welcomed:)
alrights. wish me luck for exams! I promise to mail it back when im done!

让我们get HIGH!!!
This is so funny.
To sum it up and avoid confusing people, here's the objective/aim of all that im driving across: This Ang Mo made my day. yups. Just by sounding like an American.
Haha... this is going to sound absurd. But I was listening to radio on my HP and eavesdropping on this AngMo, potentially exchange student at NUS on the train. My. He MUST be chatting with people 'back there'. And then there was the "Metro" and the "Downtown". haha... perhaps it brought back happy feelings and there is a sudden urge to laugh. Endorphines (is this the happinest hormone that can be also induced by drugs?) Really. They should have just tapped me for a no-side effect, natural source 100% organic happy hormones.
And because I was kinda HIGH on this Ang Mo accent, I was, HIGH~~~. I started talking to glad over lunch. Entertained labmates during Lab and got the TA (Teaching assistant) joining in as well. So yups. Now that I know that he is a Msian and doing PHD and yada yada yada, even my labmate had to laugh. This targeting of TA is vaguely familiar. If my memory serves (me well), I did the same thing for CM1501 (organic Chem lab too)! The difference is that the CM1501 TA had to live under my 'tyranny' for one whole semester. haha.. but based on my analysis, I BET that was one of the more entertaining experience in his whole TA stint. yups. Say thank you. HAHAHAH...
There was of course lecture in the evening. I think I was entertaining some of my frens in the LT as well. It was a funny and distracting lecture. Ronald might want to kill me for being so noisy. Just a side note, Guangyi did a "Pseudo-weiling-voice' which was really really funny. Cos I cant seem to hear his low rambling 3 seats away. So he decided that if he mimicks my pitch, it might make things easier. haha..
After lecture, i dashed after the bus and managed to catch it.
Yuzhong told Pat that "你的朋友完蛋了"
-- cos im always behind them when lecture ends and they managed to reach just in time for the bus.
Pat said: 我也这么觉得.
AND so they board the bus to see me already sitting down!! haha.. I basically just excused-me my way down the stairs and up the bus. Smooth. Sleek.
They did a brief summary of the cause of my highness in chronological order in response to the 3 times they suffered my weirdness:
1. I drank peach-milkshake from Engine canteen
2. I was too tired. Extremities.
3. haha.. this was the Ang Mo accent episode.
Really, these things set me thinking. My happy-energy was divided and targetted at so many people. They laughed ALOT. okie. actually me too. But the POINT is that, I cant imagine 2 years ago when ALL these energy was targetted at just Glad and PJ. My. How much did they suffer. HAHAHAH...
Anyways, so much for energy consumption. I totally crawled into bed after shower and concussed after 2 sentences of my article. One day, if I want to go on a diet, maybe maintaining a constant HIGH state will be a good way.

No Chinese
I had no wireless for 2-3wks and that greatly diminished the appeal of my lappie. As I worry day and night for the data in my lappie and did my back up, I couldnt format it until I had a mini break from my FYP. Darn. Really felt handicapped doing my Computational FYP without internet. Luckily my external hardisk served me well. Being plugged in and out of my desktop and my lappie for information transfer. Lappie is really barren now. No Chinese, so no worries about those vague statements.
Aha. Thanks ENGINE guys for recognizing that I'm a computer idiot and helping me diagnose and do up my computer. I must say that this is one of the Perks huh. Engineering guys are brilliant with computers. GAMSAHAMNIDA~~*bows*
Glad that I made some progress with my FYP. But I kinda still have a long way to go. Internet is a distraction. I must learn to keep my addiction in check. And therefore, I conclude that my teachers were highly mistaken when about my self-discipline. I just wasnt exposed to enough temptations.
FAME was just an okie high school setting movie. I must say that it is good for spending some time off work but it might not be worth the trip to the cinema. (500) days in summer and Thats It looks funny. If I can just fit them into my 'Schedule' then i will splurge at the cinema. Yes, i do have a schedule. A vague one thats driving me crazy.
If I sound incoherent, its due to the influenza bug. I swear that people are more susceptible to bugs in tropical regions like here. Didnt even feel sick in America despite the extreme weathers.
OKie. being sick and tired is just so not me right.
So here's the funny stuff:
saw this little boy playing yoyo at the bus stop a few days ago. *so why is it funny*
well, apparently the yoyo string is 'longer' than he is. so it was like, he threw the yoyo out and then the yoyo died. He threw it again, and it died again.
another boy i saw on the train was sucking his thumb and sticking his index finger into his nose. haha... its supposed to be abit gross but i dont know why he just looks so cute. ah~ he is approx 2 yr old and he is a korean kid.
okie. when u are supposed to rest, u are supposed to rest. Goodnight dears. Its 843pm now.

烂故事精选集
前天在车上，就给我碰到了一位抱着孙女乘车的老公公。其实，若是走在路上，他因该会被称着为Uncle， 而不是 Ah PEK啦。只是抱着孙女的他，让我感受到了他的和蔼可亲， 所以就自动把他升级了咯。他非常努力地教着孙女英语。虽然他大概也就会那几个基本词汇，但我看得出来他真的很用心。上一代的人都尝试着学习下一代的习惯，那下一代的人是不是也要偶尔放慢脚步，体恤体恤这一群老人家呢？
下雨天，水淹淹：）很想就躲在家里，哪里都别去。有个超白痴想法：人为什么到了下雨天就想躲在被窝里呢？是这样的。就我们的祖先啊，以前就分成两批人马。一批就是那群恋家，喜欢在雨天哪儿都不去的。另外一群呢，总是辛勤努力，下雨天也不忘打猎，觅食。可是呢，努力终究带来了许多的问题啊，象是土崩，树木倒塌什么的。所以勒，by natural selection, 肯努力的人都没了，只剩下象我这种懒人咯！！ 哈哈哈哈哈。 很烂吧？

情绪大比拼
近来有点‘从网络上消失掉’的感觉。就前个‘礼拜’通过朋友的引荐，认识了几个新朋友，一起参加了一场校内比赛。‘建豪’，‘可瑞斯皮纳’还有‘尼可拉斯’都是很外向，很搞笑的人，除了偶尔让我想翻白眼以外。有朋友说，‘尼可拉斯’是个没点正经的人，我不得不同意！就他们三个，让我对于笑话的尺度，无限期上调。真的--无上线哦。不过因为不宜小朋友阅读，这里不方便有过多的透露，所以直接跳过！
比赛才短短五天，就把我折腾得‘5 ’ ‘9 ’不分。 把FYP 里的Gene ID硬是念成：'xx9xx'。 觉得不对，再念过，还是 'xx9xx'。 当下让我发现我已经开始产生错觉， 所以，直接书包收了收，到文的房间租床去。睡觉！
虽然出局了，但这次的经验让我对于很多事情都改观了耶。比方说，以前总觉得啊，参加这类型比赛的人，通常都是‘非人类’。他们也许口才特别佳，口水特别多或是口齿特别伶俐--- 这就是本人对于超高自信者的见解。结果勒，事实证明了，我的见解是对的！ 哈哈。但我也不差啊--这就是重点！；）
常以为自己整天都在追着别人的背影， 用自我丰富的想象力，赐予别人梦境里遥不可及的超能力。 他们是真的很强，没错，毕竟我都出局了。 但是，真的，也不过就是个人嘛，何必贬低自己，把自己说得多么不堪呢！感觉得到自信心有在上调噢！
谢谢你们叫我去参加！很喜欢很喜欢你们！一起熬夜，吃饭，努力。
我常喜欢问别人：‘你觉得是食物重要，还是吃饭的对象重要？ ’
有的人会犹豫不决，有的会贪心地两样都想要。我呢，选择后者。 请不要自觉幽默，好玩而说些极度无聊的话。不要故意假装是说给自己听，但却用我能听得到的声量讲话。我不但会不想接话，还会想要转身走人。那是个非常不自在的一天。

Scream Board Is a Bad Idea
A few days ago, i was quite innovative and wanted to create a scream board on my blog. To allow people to scream out whatever displeasure or complains that they have or (for Miao) to profess her love for me and I will just update the board.
Now, I feel the air sucked out and I don't even feel like screaming anymore. I dont even want xiao long bao or har gao anymore. Been eating more potato chips that I have ever been eating and craving all the what i call self-destructive food. booboo.
Okie. Im going into snoozing mode again.

学习慢活
嘿呀！我们都成熟了很多哦。尤其是你。该说是在耍酷，变稳重还是提不起精神呢？说话变得小心了。会不会只是我所说的，越大越会逢场作戏。反正在我面前就不用装了嘛！什么wear intellectual spectacles to fit the intellectual me. 那我是不是要穿teletubies 来配合你啊？！
近来，超多朋友都对我采用第六感宣言。打个比方说啊，就有人说我适合小自己一两岁的人。
又有人道：我以为你会喜欢聪明型的。
还有人说：你一定是喜欢成熟稳重比你大很多的。
更有人说：我还以为你不喜欢男的。
最最最糟糕的是：you are like an amoeba. I think you have yourself can already. *冷静冷静*
饭余佳话~~ 哇！ 如果两个人的第六感恰恰相反，那我怎么办？？ 大家多少事先打个草稿，别让我困扰！ Amoeba 言论如果再重见江湖，我可能会打人。
Fren said: 你其他的朋友都没有我的foresight. 你一定会喜欢年龄比你小的！！
I said: 如果你说的都成真的话，喜酒请不要带红包。Dinner will be on me！
怎么觉得你好象隐瞒了什么！明明打赌。。我就已经赢了对不对！诈骗集团。。。 不认账。你敢拿$35 voucher 打发我的话就试试看。
喜欢跟你吃饭因为轻松自在。果然，世上还是朋友好=） 真的，如果可以象你说的‘慢活’也许更能好好地活出自己的人生。

奇怪的嘲笑
刚被朋友酸了一回。所以说嘛。 'wa si lao lang geh~~' -- for the hokkien versed.
昨天真的超搞笑。如果不是因为整天都通行无阻，真要以为我是生了张凶神恶煞的脸。怎么吃顿饭，就两个男生先是要同桌，然后由逃之夭夭勒。临走前还给我一副：‘你真奇怪’的表情。还对我挑眉耶！真是‘%$!#$^&**% ’的勒！！ 陌生人, 你们最好是不要擅自在我对面坐下哦！
就前几天啊，（我）很自然地‘嘲笑’朋友，结果还真的有报因耶！
我说：So what did u have for breakfast today again? Is it 'beng kueh'? 'Soon kueh'? no? 'Ang gu Kueh'??
--他老是投诉他家老妈喜欢弄中式糕点给他当早点，但他偏不爱。
我又说：eh! can you stop bringing ONE banana around in your bag. its going to smell of banana again eh!
结果，今天我妈就拿了TWO bananas 和两个'tau sar piah' 给我. 害我象做贼一样，低调。非常低调的吃。果然，说话还是别太得意。

Guts out
I swear that Health is almost the most important thing in life. Without it...
1) cant work-- no money= no shopping
2) cant work-- no lab reports done= late nights to come
3) cant work-- no emails sent= inefficiency *when am i going to get started*
4) cant work-- tuition session was like crap (i'm sorry)
Thanks Yvonne for the warm (microwaved) water and the kimchi (supposed to help). My digestive tract must have been so thoroughly cleared in the afternoon. If you think of puking so vigorously until foam start forming. *okie thats gross* I just learnt to appreciate ginger. Without it, dinner would have been impossible.
But nevermind, I am recovered after 5 hrs of rest-- with no work done. I will work tomorrow then.
National day rally just ended. Traditionally, rallies have been alot of talking from one side and alot of listening from the other end. Felt great that for this rally, channels were open to address this lack of feedback system (from the youths), showing that we are really important. Thanks for that.
Some business aspects were discussed. What I felt more strongly was the addressing of racial and religion sensitivity. Thought that good grounds were covered and such open approach to highlighting possible social problems (taking a module and thus the terminology) were to be encouraged? Anyway, views are for each to hold. So yup, let me not interfere with one another's thoughts. I just really love societal stuff.
On a happier note, welcome yf back to Singapore from the bed bug bites in Mexico. Thanks for that tangerine thing that I havent eat (will not eat till my tummy feels better). I bet you will miss that place for the next few months at least. Was looking through alot of (my and others too) photos on facebook and was turning nostalgic. But as nostalgia ends, I think (with my brain) that its time to move on for a while until im free (as in time) again to imgaine things. But anyway, talking about Mexico reminded me of Patricia. But then again, many countries remind me of many other people too. Was chatting with Susan in Chinese and I can almost HEAR her speaking those words on the screen. 考试要加油哈！
In any case, was Thinking Angela's song: 有时假装沉默是否有点难受， 到底期待些什么。
并不是感情用事，只是霎那间想起这首歌。

In any case, was Thinking Angela's song: 有时假装沉默是否有点难受， 到底期待些什么。
并不是感情用事，只是霎那间想起这首歌。

Melaka=) the R&R trip
It costs 8RM to watch a movie in Melaka. And this is making me feel better.
Miao and Wen, its 8RM!! Look at the ticket stub. haha.. it must be. 'cos school is having a promo for $4 per tic, cap at 2 tics. 8RM translate to $3++. otherwise, I'll feel =_=
okok. basically three of us (buddies dating back to 7 yrs ago) finally took a trip to Melaka during the last week of (their) undergrad holidays=)It was hot and hazy not forgetting humid. (if u think that Singapore is bad enough, think again)
Melaka is a place with loads of historical backing, having came under the rule of Dutch, Portugese and British before finally becoming independent as part of Malaysia. Therefore, there are many sites left behind that showcases the architectural difference of the various ruling states. Churches, Temples, Fort, Nyonya Baba houses and third generation shophouses.
This is silly, but as the coach drove passed this power station with this huge reactor tank, I couldn’t help but kept looking at it ;) And then, there was this one third generation shop house that did gold electroplating. I saw this ancient electrolysis machine for gold and I was like ‘wow’. The uncles and aunties in the shop houses were so actively trying to promote their art work. Not sure if that is for sales or if they really do want the art to be passed down. But in any case, I appreciate that.
This might come as a surprise, but I have never given tip in person before despite spending 3 months in America. The tip that I have paid are all through credit card and somehow I find it weird to be passing cash to another person. It makes me feel like I’m degrading that person. But yup! I passed the tip to the travel tour guide and she was pretty happy about it=)
Took the river cruise in Melaka and saw many kampongs and more laid back lifestyles from afar. Made us wonder why is it that we never ever took the tour at the Singapore River. Okok. It might be the price. For that 45min river cruise, we paid only RM10.
The funniest thing was the fact that we did plenty of things that we could actually do in Singapore. Such as, watching a movie? Haha.. The Proposal. Extremely Funny Chick flick. It’s so good that its one of the (very) few movies that I have enjoyed in years. I must say that it is kind of hard to find a teddy bear-faced looking ang mo, and well, that movie has it. Its 8RM!
Erm… we went to the arcade? Bball game. So tiring but that’s the only game that I really enjoy in the arcades anyways. Reminded me of my Taiwan trip where I got into level 4 there okie. Haha.. but im apparently not that ‘good’ (well, that’s not THAT good either) anymore. A game for 1RM!!
Eh.. we continued into Dreamdb? It’s the Malaysian version of kBox. I seldom became so high singing. I was really happy then to be singing there, despite the remote control being really insensitive. We were wondering if people will start rolling their eyes if we sang some national day songs over there. Haha.. oh. This is a stupid secret: “I finally realized that Michael Learns to Rock has nth to do with Michael Jackson”. Okie. Do proceed to laugh if u must! =D one of my secretly embarrassing moments. That was till 2am. You will (almost) never catch me outside at that time.
Second day was Nyonya Baba House day in the morning. The guide at that place spoke with this pace and tone that made me feel ridiculously happy.
Miao went for a whole body massage *woo~~*. HAHA. While Wen and I snuggled in this sofa snoozing. Shopping after that was a rush as we had to get back on time for the coach back. So yup. Didn’t buy much!
I guess it had been really fortunate to be able to make a trip down before school reopens. Otherwise, this holidays will be another one of those boring ones. Eh. Wait. I went Taiwan for my first holidays, going America for my second holidays. Oh. Wells. =D

在树上唱歌
郭静的一首歌：在树上唱歌
你说的每个笑话我都笑了 是你变幽默 还是我变快乐
好久不见你说我大不相同 偷偷告诉你 我的心去整形了
不想对每件事都那么严格 弄得全世界 好像只剩挫折
爱一朵花不猜它能开多久 放宽了心情 把什么都变美了
-- 会不会觉得字里行间都展现了一种幽默感？不过，感觉旋律虽琅琅上口，但稍嫌儿歌味太重。一首轻快的歌，听了心情愉悦=）

This was on July the 9th.
Great joy derived from the motivation to eat.
Some people who thought themselves great scientist of the psychological world asked:
"Do we eat to live or do we live to eat" -- what a dumb question. really. they cant be chemist because chemist will draw a foreward and a backward arrow and tell them that both are occurring, just which is more dominant than the other.
But in any case, im an advocate for the latter, since I really love to eat. My friends know it. They stared at me grinning at my lovely 'har gao' when we first visited a proper chinese place in california. Then on, they knew that I love food. I adore them=)
While doing a quick search through the Internet, I found this food journal:
http://aromacookery.com/2009/06/25/crab-buffet-dinner-ellenborough-market-cafe-swissotel-merchant-court/
which quickly led to a reservation there as part of Miao's 22nd birthday celebration. Mind you, it took us ages to decide because
1. time constraint-- i am working and miao was too fully booked for the weekends.
2. no options before that sounds interesting and exciting enough
Do take time to look at the link above. I swear that you will salivate even in your dreams. okie. so I present to you the ULTIMATE CRAB BUFFET that only holds for 2 weeks a year, stood at 48++/pax at the Swiss'Otel Merchant Court.
haha.. can you imagine the excitement overflowing? CRABS CRABS CRABS CRABS.
the thing is, i dont even like crabs that much. Think that they are a chore to eat. But, just the thought of the pictures made me overlook that im totally unskilled at crabbinology. I was lucky to find abalone, superbly braised duck, fish cooked with what i believe is my favourite black bean sauce, along with durian-themed dessert that can satisfy any durian loving Singaporean. They somehow killed off the smelly after taste that durians sometimes leaves in the mouth.
Food aside, and I know that this is long overdue, Happy Birthday to Miao. Every year, her birthday tends to be the most well celebrated -- because we are overjoy to have her in our lives? stop kidding-- because it tends to fall on holidays. Mine's the worst since its really either right smack during exams or it will be during reading week which spoils any mood to have fun.
It is really funny how close friends like the three of us have not, after so many years, influenced one another over our choice of presents. haha. Miao loves "exotic stuff" and to be caught by surprise. She has the highest tendency to buy you a balloon with a Happy Birthday/buy flowers or something like that. Wen, likes to collect in a box of unrelated tiny things that are sillily(my favorite NEW word) cute. She might get you a unique styled dress with erm. jigshaw puzzle? For me, I always buy stuff that they can use (thats why im an engineer) plus some thing surprising (to cater to their taste). I think they prefer the random "side-dishes" that I buy more than the "main course"=p
But in any case, this entry is seriously long overdue and so I'm going to end it off with this "hey, lets stop reporting 'numbers' when we celebrate bdays. we arent young anymore"=)

尽兴
"Let the world be your Playground", says the pig.
And the story ended previously with a painful wisdom uprooting experience. Thereafter, a few things had happened.
All these happened in the remaining part of June:
Starting with me recruiting a friend into BioBiz. ahaha. Great psycho-ing skills on my part. He was surprised that I had became the Chair of the event. Yeah. It would have surprised me too. haha.. but yup. Darren, welcome to the team even though nothing is about to start as of yet=)
Went for a swim-coaching session with Wen. It was so crowded on a Saturday, with the next door stadium hosting what I believe to be the Youth Games Soccer match, with occasional "GOAL!!!" which made me kind of high-- the audience must be really captivated and engaged in the game. Not the usual "a group of men chasing after a ball".
Met up with JC friends for what was supposed to be TJ-hawker-roti-prata-breakfast-gathering to see JY off for her exchange cum internship in Japan. BUT, the little girls, who were (still are) not used to Morning events were ALL late. To think that I was not even early. I was right on the dot and no one was there. In the end, we ate at Bedok Interchange Hawker instead and the angry me got free breakfast=p My face must be really black I think. haha.. AND JY didnt even come. Smack her when she comes back from Japan unless she bribes me with a nice gift=) Met Prema in at least 2 years since she went to Msia for her Medicine degree. We (aka glad pin me and Prema) went shopping at Robinsons warehouse sale. Managed to get a dress and a bag *Cheapo mind set to Calculator mode* Was amused when glad bought a hairband with a red feather on it. I mean, who ever buys hairbands with a red feather? Her dress sense has always been full of surprises (in the good way, of course).
This is in July already:
Wei Qin, Lucy (Finance Interns) and I finally managed an outing together. The previous trip to Clarke Quay for Fish and Chips were only between Wei Qin and I. And thanks to Wei Qin for her 'hardwork' in searching what I thought was 'hungry ghost go where.com' (misled by Lucy. Its supposed to be hungrygowhere.com), we managed to find a hawker with a well rated Stingray BBQ store at Teman Jurong. $10 for small and $13 for medium. In addition to the medium, we also ordered Sambal Kangkong and Prawn Rolls from another store that sells Zi Char. Stingray was seriously not bad but I had a pimples outbreak the next day=p Amazingly, Wei Qin didnt get us lost driving there without Vanessa and her 'sexy smoky voice'-- her GPS. Good job and Great Sense of direction, WeiQin. *laughs* I will try to forget the number of rounds you made at cityhall the last time u tried going for dance!
Family outing on a Saturday to Marina Barrage. This is my first time there and I seriously love that place for its pro-family setting, great design and engineering wonders. I liked the night scene of the Flyer in the far end, with Sea Breeze keeping you cool. I liked looking at the ships out at sea packed with Cargo and heading to 'i-dont-know where'. Most of all, I liked watching little kids run around and daddys trying to teach their kids to fly kites on the green pasture. That place is really nice, but inconvenient. We were lucky as it was the first of the series of National Day Parade Rehearsals. There were fighter jets and helicopters with the Singapore Flag flying high. Then there was the Fireworks that we managed to catch a glimpse of when we reached Marina Bay MRT station (almost missed the whole of it). It is a beautiful place. Absolutely suitable for a pack of potato chips. So, I bought a pack of $5 lays=)
Dinner followed at Swenson's @PS. Salty, but I still loved the Fish Baked Rice.

Oh my~
i know shit happens all the time, but more of it happened today, starting the morning with a stalker uncle at jurong east, my 'initially-felt-lousily/wrongly choosen' FYP and of course some minor things that i couldn't answer properly.
But, of all the crazy things that happened, this must have healed me.
"wei ling, i know it is not th right time to thank you yet. But honestly, i really wanna thank you for guiding me during my hardest and weakest point. Th time where i was the last in class. Th time when i do not know a single thing. You thought me everyth from scratch. Even if you had to repeat a dozen times, you will still do it with patience and th winning smile [: iloveyou so so much! I will work hard not only for me but also for my teachers, you and my parents [: i really improve tremendously. Thank you a million times. Lets work even harder since o level is coming XD see ya tml! I know this is kinda random but i just have to say it [:"
Albeit the spelling and grammatical mistakes, oh-my-goodness, you really touched me.
Maybe I should really consider becoming a teacher.

迷惑时，你会怎么做？
如果，坐在博爱座的你，前面站着小腹微凸， 脚踩平底鞋的女士，你会怎么做？
记得有一次误会同事怀孕的时候，怪尴尬的。
如果是我，我会装作要下车，然后走到下一个车厢-- 不经意的将位子让出。
I saw the indecisiveness in her eyes as she looked at the 'middle portion' of the lady. This is like sitting beside some one who is dosing off onto your shoulders. Do you wake them up?

dawning in the sleepy head
Hello sleepy head. Its time to wake up.
Getting not just one, but several comments about my stagnant blog, about how there is no news about me, about how this is the holidays-- and holidays are for blogging. Kind hearted souls checking that I am still alive.
Been pretty engaged in life. So much so that the virtual doesn't draw me as much as it once did. Im sure that this will only last through the holidays, what with Ella and Jerry coming up with a new drama and the television advertising for 绝对男友-- the concept behind its draw factor is basically the same as Meteor Gardens, perfection. The impossiblity has always been a huge chunk of my life. One reason why I adore Adidas more than any others. But anyway, life has been keeping me in and away from tubing.
Spending my time over dinners and pepperlunches, occasional shopping with friends and family, drinks over BioBiz discussion, gatherings with JC friends and BioBiz 09 comm, squash that got my arms aching for a few days, first ever family steamboat gathering at my aunt's place-- specially for all the cousins-- which turned out great/fun. I guess as we grow older, we learn to carry ourselves with greater ease. 'Civilized' will be Lawr's word for it. Of course there is the listening to Miao blah on and on about her current nth Idol Zhang Yun Jing (abit of free publicity from me to her) and sleeping beside Wen on Miao's floor. Walking to the flyer, looking for non-existing cafes for dinner-- Jon should have done better than this haha.. Cheated into climbing Mt. Faber with food in mind only to be directed to Vivocity and further directed to the bus stop and more walking before dinner-- this is Glad. ba.
Internship has been passing with much ease. Not feeling any impatience for it to end at all. Maybe experience do count in the endurance game, maybe its because I have friends or maybe its that my Sup is really nice. Ooo.. and of course I enjoyed the scandals ongoing.Greatest highlight of the daySS. Regardless, this has been the healthiest holidays ever. If you consider this "no. of work days= no. of trips to the gym", you'll see why=)People are starting to warm up to one another, smiling, saying hi and chit chatting. Isn't it just awesome when people try to communicate? Im slightly more than 5 weeks short of completion. Arms are in a current state of pain after being psycho-ed into trying the weights machines. Oh no. This is bad! haha. I am so going to book the massage chair next week!
Feeling a little sorry towards my Indian friend whom I met in Cali. He dropped by on the way back to India and I couldnt meet him-- fact was, he facebooked me when I was working. How was I to reply?! Hope he drops by again. And of course, I'll hope that H1N1 ends soon so that not only can he feel safe coming here, but I can also go travelling abit. Miao said: go Taiwan, cos there's no H1N1. What a reason!
The highlight of the month was a 'voluntary' 3-days break from work. My Wisdom tooth extraction had went erm... smoothly? Except for an inexperienced nurse dripping saline onto my nostril and neck, insufficient anesthesia for the first round and I had to stop the drilling to ask for more, the search of the root of the tooth that broke off that took ages, the strength in my bones holding on to my upper tooth and how 3 equipments were necessary to extract it. Otherwise, I guess its fine. I wasn't really freaking out and my heart was still pumping at the healthy rate. The swollen face and the stitches that restricted cheek muscle motion were the irritating ones. haha.. I officially labelled myself as the 猪头! This evil soul in my friend kept texting me weekly to ask if I have extracted the other side yet. NOPE! sl better stop cursing me!
有时还是会觉得是在孤军奋战。这是种困扰。尤其在大声喧嚷独立理性之后，才赫然发现原来直觉还是缺乏点安全感。背着第六感干活，始终有点战战兢兢。当然，都被强行压在心底了，因该会很顺利=）
最近，在流动电视上看到了一句自己觉得满有道理的一句话：朋友就是同时居住在两具肉身里的灵魂。哈哈。单用念的就觉得真是很有感觉! 一下子让我有墨水了起来。
还是想念好友三不五十的小聚会，单纯多，亲切多。尴尬时，习惯性的撒撒小谎。 傻笑，真的不是我的作风。
Always have this feeling that I have a tendency to be ultra vague when blogging in Chinese. Alot of feelings come and go, plenty of thoughts that weren't pen down. People come and go, you meet new ones and try very hard not to forget the old ones. Living in the present and living in the past, you choose the moment or the sense of continuity.
Whatever, I'm super sleepy now. After few hours of scandals discussion with OY and total entertainment from dong fang zhi zhu -- when i type han yu pin yin, it means im really tired-- im so going to sleep.
Till we meet again.

Walking to the flyer, looking for non-existing cafes for dinner-- Jon should have done better than this haha.. Cheated into climbing Mt. Faber with food in mind only to be directed to Vivocity and further directed to the bus stop and more walking before dinner-- this is Glad. ba.
Internship has been passing with much ease. Not feeling any impatience for it to end at all. Maybe experience do count in the endurance game, maybe its because I have friends or maybe its that my Sup is really nice. Ooo.. and of course I enjoyed the scandals ongoing.Greatest highlight of the daySS. Regardless, this has been the healthiest holidays ever. If you consider this "no. of work days= no. of trips to the gym", you'll see why=)People are starting to warm up to one another, smiling, saying hi and chit chatting. Isn't it just awesome when people try to communicate? Im slightly more than 5 weeks short of completion. Arms are in a current state of pain after being psycho-ed into trying the weights machines. Oh no. This is bad! haha. I am so going to book the massage chair next week!
Feeling a little sorry towards my Indian friend whom I met in Cali. He dropped by on the way back to India and I couldnt meet him-- fact was, he facebooked me when I was working. How was I to reply?! Hope he drops by again. And of course, I'll hope that H1N1 ends soon so that not only can he feel safe coming here, but I can also go travelling abit. Miao said: go Taiwan, cos there's no H1N1. What a reason!
The highlight of the month was a 'voluntary' 3-days break from work. My Wisdom tooth extraction had went erm... smoothly? Except for an inexperienced nurse dripping saline onto my nostril and neck, insufficient anesthesia for the first round and I had to stop the drilling to ask for more, the search of the root of the tooth that broke off that took ages, the strength in my bones holding on to my upper tooth and how 3 equipments were necessary to extract it. Otherwise, I guess its fine. I wasn't really freaking out and my heart was still pumping at the healthy rate. The swollen face and the stitches that restricted cheek muscle motion were the irritating ones. haha.. I officially labelled myself as the 猪头! This evil soul in my friend kept texting me weekly to ask if I have extracted the other side yet. NOPE! sl better stop cursing me!
有时还是会觉得是在孤军奋战。这是种困扰。尤其在大声喧嚷独立理性之后，才赫然发现原来直觉还是缺乏点安全感。背着第六感干活，始终有点战战兢兢。当然，都被强行压在心底了，因该会很顺利=）
最近，在流动电视上看到了一句自己觉得满有道理的一句话：朋友就是同时居住在两具肉身里的灵魂。哈哈。单用念的就觉得真是很有感觉! 一下子让我有墨水了起来。
还是想念好友三不五十的小聚会，单纯多，亲切多。尴尬时，习惯性的撒撒小谎。 傻笑，真的不是我的作风。
Always have this feeling that I have a tendency to be ultra vague when blogging in Chinese. Alot of feelings come and go, plenty of thoughts that weren't pen down. People come and go, you meet new ones and try very hard not to forget the old ones. Living in the present and living in the past, you choose the moment or the sense of continuity.
Whatever, I'm super sleepy now. After few hours of scandals discussion with OY and total entertainment from dong fang zhi zhu -- when i type han yu pin yin, it means im really tired-- im so going to sleep.
Till we meet again.

And I said this is MINE
With the end of my exams, I waved goodbye to my 3rd year in NUS (I hope). The last finals was crap but yeah, keeping fingers cross that it will all go smoothly. 2 weeks to the result release. haha... nevermind. such mind boggling stuff are NOT important.
As with year 2 when I was involved in organizing FLV, BioBiz and did an internship at IS, year 3 had been a... fun-filled, relaxed and totally enjoyable year. haha.. First up! EXCHANGE programme. I seriously think that it must have been the BEST time in my ENTIRE LIFE. A DJ on 98.7 said that we should never talk about good food, good movies or dreams over a dinner party. Because these are the little things that ONLY YOU had the first person's perspective and your friends will be painfully waiting for you to finish reinacting the scene. And since, the exchange was mine, maybe I should just keep mum- which is such a shame. As I type this, I can just about FEEL my heart FLYING back to America. haha.. then of course, there was BioBiz, where I did get to learn so much this year, much unlike last year. This year had been extremely fun with all the funny beings on the team. Abit of a regret not being able to know more of you better. Year 3 is ending with this Internship that Im doing now at MSD. First week was just over and I'm still not too sure how I'll eventually fit in. But lets see. I think I'll do just fine=)
In any case, 98.7 was just broadcasting about why daddys love to give their daughter's boyfriend a bad/hostile time when they are visiting for the first time. Points noted:
1) disparity in level of commitment expected and given to the relationship
2) differing regard to the formality of the parent-meeting session
3) always sound interested and engaged in conversation. ask questions.
4) touchy couples are a no no. it was said that daddy will draw the guns if the boyfriend attempt more than the hands
Concluding: daughters remain LITTLE PRINCESSES of the daddy not in the literal sense.
In my 'not-that-humble' opinion, this is what we know as possessiveness. haha... this weird mentality and segregation of things into 'mine' and 'not mine'. So, what is mine is mine to keep and do kindly ask for permission if you do require me to share or loan. I can consider.
Meaning, in simple terms: We often hear of 恋弟情节， 恋母情结 and all the other weird emotions that people can have with regards to other members of the family. This is NOT a promotion for 乱伦in all sense because I think that that is just disgusting. But when you grew up thinking that this person had been attached to your name, shared by the other family members and no one else, context changes.
If this NOBODY comes along and say: hey, your daughter is MY girlfriend. The first thing that pops up will be 'like NO?! She is my daughter!'
So the most important thing is actually to show that you are NOT taking her AWAY, but rather, displaying a commitment that you will be a good match for her and to 'share' or 'license' or 'franchise' this entity known as a daughter.
As a kid, you realise that you are more willing to share but less willing to give. Most importantly, you do not snatch or act like a pirate. Otherwise, be prepared for a pull-hair-fight.
So, daughter-in-laws and sons-in-laws, do demonstrate some form of sensitivity. As with the billions/trillions of married couples out there, I believe that dealing with the in-laws is not that much of an impossibility.

Work-related-ness
I am happy, excited, over the prospect of working during the holidays. Miao will have something to say. Like how Im always working or doing something. haha.. I am undeniably a workaholic to SOME extent. Just the thought of lazing around for 2 months can send me into a panic attack. Like gosh, what am I to do with the time.
The typical workaholic definition, as we understand from our trustworthy TV dramas, are the guys who work till late at night IN the office and probably neglecting his girlfriend. Such dramas will go on to propose that this hardworking guy will end up breaking up with his grilfriend and meet the girl of his dreams one midnight at 1am outside a convenience store near his office on the way to buy coffee.
On the other hand, typical workaholic depiction for the other gender generally revolves around a woman, married with ONE kid (no time to have more), who places work above child and family. Who is always on the phone with someone asking her to return to office-- which she will, despite her child running a fever and despite her husband asking her not to go. And the guy is so much victimized. I'm sorry that you married a girl who likes OUTDOOR activities. Yeah, and stop that tears welling into your eyes.
In any case, it is much more acceptable for guys to work work and work. Girls fall for them because they are serious with their life, dependable and as the saying goes: 脚踏实地. Girls blame them for having too little time for the family or in general, for HER, but couldn't bring herself to fault him for trying to bring home more money. Given a married couple, the wife will NEVER bring herself to divorce on these grounds. The BREAK UP-- only to end with a happy story of the guy finding a true love-- only happens when both are single but UNAVAILBLE(SBUs).
BUT the issue comes WHEN the gender roles changes. DIVORCE occurs when the wife works hard because, well, no one asked for you to bring back the money. You are the one choosing to work so hard and neglecting your role of a 成功男人背后的女人. In that case, you ASKED FOR IT. SBUs are NOT an issue at all because, whoever will fall for a girl who can't be at your beck and call?!
Therefore, workaholism in a girl is really undesirable. Married or not, you stand to lose everything and gain nothing. Really, kick the habit.
I am NOT speaking from experience or my friend's or whoever so to speak. Just have this vague recollections of a kind-hearted friend giving me the advise. His neighbour is a single lady who earns alot-- but WHATS THE POINT?! Thats what HE said. I can't summon so much agitation over such issues.
Ha. Either way, as I am now craving to visit Susan in Ningbo or Hongkong, I guess I'm not that much of a workaholic. I just need activities, not work. Oh. and add in the money from working.
Exams tomorrow! Wish me luck=) Gambate!!

With Loads of Smiles
Very quick updates. About how happy my life is.
Lets first start off with having loads of time and self declaring holidays:) other than 2 more ppt and 1 tut, and of course exams, i have nothing else on hand. how nice is that?! so i have been entertaining myself with dramas and simply not blogging.
Dramas. How my faves BOF show ended without excessive dragging and I declare that Lee Min Ho can act. Can also see the significant improvement in the other F3s in the show. I mean, initially I was like. gosh. what is this guy trying to do. Then at the end, I was quite satisfied by their acting. So that has to be quite substantial right. In all, it wasnt draggy, the actors can act and they look good. What else do you ask for?
BioBiz 2009 ended with loads of good comments especially from the participating companies. I sure hope that next year will be smooth sailing as well. The most important thing I believe is that all of us had a good time working with one another. haha.. Full of smiles thinking of them. The 2 mth infant joke really sticks. But right now, I'll have to spend some time finding the next comm and thinking abt what we want to do:) Alot of learning and brainstorming post event. Never realised that there were so many things we could have done.
My great SDU plan is in making. Just thinking about it makes me happy. I really think quite smart eh. haha.. but dont know if it will work out. eheh! lets hope it does!
I have great lab partners who entertained and allowed me to entertain them relentlessly. Tomorrow is the last presentation. haha.. fingers cross that I will not drag them down. haha..goodness. It feels great not having to worry about lab at all:)
I found a clever tuition kid. I know she is clever but she missed the hardwork part in sec 3. so yup. lots to cover for this year!
Meeting my accounting group mates for dabao-ed lunch at the usual benches is really cool. at least I dont have to eat on my own and they are really nice and spontaneous. haha.. Indian Indian, Malay, American, Vietnamese and me. The multi national group.
Went for 2 concerts this semester. Both dances. One free sort part of the pre-NUS-Arts-Festival thing and another one by Wen. can feel the joy radiating from the dancers. Seriously not cut out for it otherwise, it'll be cool to do it.
Met Miao for lunch a number of times (like maybe 4-5 times) and Wen twice.
Went Glad's house for housewarming with Pin. The house looks really cool.
Oh!!! I saw this guy drinking Meiji strawberry milk with a mini straw! not sure why this is funny but it really did make my day!
Caught the AB flirting with the same girl twice. HAHA. Don't know why, its just not nice to interrupt and also its like the see-this-is-what-he-ought-to-be-doing sort of like ah-ha-caught-you feeling. HAHAH
My group mate got stunned by me when I turn up in t-shirt, jeans and flip flops for class. he said that I usually look more formal than this. It took him a while to have that spark of recognition on his face. I guess he is just stunned (by the lok kok me). and I just love seeing that. haha..
A rep from a participating company was surprised that BioBiz was ran by students. She thought that we we working (meaning we are professional) but look REALLY REALLY YOUNG. HAHAHAA.
OOOO.. and I stood at the school busstop waiting for my bro's fren's car to pick me up eh! seeing 95 pass by and 96 pass by. haha.. so happy! lalala.. IM NOT BOARDING:) i literally hopped onto the car. (this was yesterday).
Got to start planning for the holidays! if not i'll just be so bored then. hee. for all the great plans that are about to begin and for all the funny things that are about to happen=D

me
sometimes, we can never really know another person. sometimes, we do not even know ourselves. sometimes, through some event, u realise a new perspective to your character.
what do i do with the stress. what do i do with the people. what do i do with the politics. what do i do with my friends.
what do i do with the conflicts. what do i do with the happiness. what do i do to nurse the hurt. what do i do to grow tougher.
as we all grow up, we grow to be protective. to show a side of yourself being independent, being strong and being able to take a stand. but, what if, doing it for the sake of doing it, you hurt someone that might be genuinely concern. what if insecurity shows, what if guilt shows, what if unhappiness show. do you really care for them or are you only obsessed in your world.
i, for who i am, totally suck at patching things up. i, was born, being weak at the heart and soul and just wanted to make people happy. i, as i am, tries to avoid conflict.
when i say that i am happy, i am happy. i cant fake excitement too often as it tires me out. if i cant say something nice, i'll just keep mum. tested and proven, i am learning to outgrow the one who is there just to please. at the same time, i wish for someone who really is concern to be frank, honest with me and being totally sweet about it.
i told a friend that he is not someone to keep in touch with people for it is against his nature. but as of the past week, i realised that im talking about no one but myself. this selfish being within that puts up a front at times.
of course, in my world, some people do matter more than the others. im surprise at how well im dealing with or dealt with making new friends, sticking with different friends, like some sort of social butterfly, but never really making a close one.
i thank the permenants in my life, for giving me the courage to venture and knowing that when im tired/sad, you guys will always be there and stand by me.
i must say that at times, i am really disappointed. that the close do not understand. that they suspect. that they dare not believe. that they do not rely. that they make me tired... that they make me guilty for not being not being who they want me to be or be what they think i am.
i am glad that i have friends who were with me for but a brief few months, who found me dependable, who found me stronger than i look, who found that i have an extremely good temper (they are trying to make me explode), who are completely frank with my flaws and in return, allow me to be absolutely frank as well.
i may seem to be very neutral, but if i am, thats what i feel. if i laugh, im trying to be friendly. if i shout at you, it may be an endearment (i do not shout at just anyone).
for all the fakeness in the world, i declare that they do not suit me. just try not to read too much into my actions and my words. they may not mean the way they sound IF you think you know me.
being thankful that i have friends.

我要忍
最近常常做错事，说错话，惹人厌。 有时，连我自己也不明白，好脾气怎么会在一瞬间消失不见。心情就像运销飞车，（虽然我没坐过）， 高高低低。像是缺乏朋友，而不想容忍别人。真是的！那天真得很生气耶！-女人不理性的时候-
真的真的， 终于还是发生了。我把与小学同学的约定时间给搞混了！还我没有赴约！害我其实还蛮期待的。
果然还是笑笑的好。脾气一不好，LUCKY指数也会随之往下掉。

趣事
有一个男人，因为心爱的妻子过世了，伤心欲绝，罗患忧郁症。
Viktor Frankl. ：试想象，如果是你先去世，你的太太会怎样？
男子：噢！他一定会很难过！
Viktor Frankl. ：所以你现在的痛苦，就是你为了保护你心爱的妻子而付出的代价。
-- 痛苦的意义--
家庭主妇的三大问题：
1）做了看不到
2）不坐看得到
3）做也做不完

Lee Min Ho. sigh.
totally uncontrollably sucked into this whirl of childishness with melted chocolate and cotton candy behavior over this person on the screen who is probably a man-made master piece. sigh. illogical logic. thats why i always say that a girl thinks with the heart and not the brains. unless she doesnt like u enough.
continuing from the contradicting female behavior.
its like why she comments that oh your girl-friend is so pretty but hopes that you will not fall for her.
its like why she wears high heels despite proclaiming that comfort is the most important.
its like why she wants someone who is humorous but knows how to keep shut when she doesnt feel like talking.
its like how she likes a handsome guy but dont want a flirt.
haha.. kinda thinking about these recently but i forgot some of the examples that I have thought of. =p

toast to the waffle=)
I treated myself to this very random peanut butter waffle at clementi and totally marvelled at how nice it can taste. this kid ordered 'plain'. after he saw MY waffle, he said to the storeowner "auntie, can u change my plain waffle to peanut butter waffle?"---- he totally made my day.
I promise i'll do my readings. sigh. I mean, I'll try.
yay. housewarming and nice coffee shop food and possibly dinner out for xiao long bao. ---- my idea of fun out with friends.
Read on the papers that women are contradicting species. ha.

Recent sparks
Just talk to them. They will forget who you are in a blink. So it doesn't matter if u make a mess of yourself.
There is nothing scary about big brands. If you apply and don't get it, fine. But if you get it, it looks perfect on the resume.
Not having a date doesnt mean that I have to dress like I don't have one.
Personal fave "HELLO EVERYONE. THIS SMS serves to DISTURB everyone who is dating, chilling out or partying. enjoy youselves! RMB. if u r drinking,don't drive. HAHAHAHA"
-------
really think people with such good sense of rhythm are cool.

Screen
Nevermind abt the missing Boston New York and Washington, will write abt them when im free. Havent blogged in such a long time i was feeling quite lost trying to view my blog.
Im surprised that I got into the Deans List last sem on exchange. But anyway, my dad said "this kind of grades also can get in arh" =p apparently its not too hard.
Felt the weakness building up. I really don't expose my weakness that much except to a minority few. At times I think I can be quite a bitch to work with. Being friendless this sem makes me treasure the time we spent together even more. I just don't understand whats with people strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Im swallowing the self-emo-ing and move on.
Oh, I had a wonderful month since im back from SEP. Just feeling the emo-thing like now. Other than that, im really good. Quite a number of nice things which I might talk about soon.ha.
For all that matters. For all who matters.
With every breathe, i feel better.

Chicago
This was my first encounter with snow. This white thing that actually looks like the pentagonal flakes often depicted. It may be nice, it may be pretty, but the fact that it has to be very cold for it to snow, spoils the whole experience. It was SO cold. It didn’t help that the hostel was not in a very prominent spot. We dragged our luggage through the snow, up and down the streets and well, it was our first stop in travelling. Not much experience there. I still found the fact that we were half stranded kind of funny though. People in Chicago were really nice. It was 2am in the morning and it was bitter cold and they offered directions and one even stopped to ask if we need a phone to call someone because ‘you should get out of the cold’. This is the first impression of Chicago, and my, did it paint a very good impression on the Americans.
It was cold, I reiterate. Most of the outdoor theme park-areas were closed at Navy Pier. There was a Christmas exhibition with kiddy Magic show, huge x’mas trees, Santa Claus statues from the various countries and cookie design (which we did for $2). This lady working at the navy pier saw me taking a photo of the snow from the inside of the building.
‘Why don’t you go out and I’ll take a photo for you?’
“But it’s so cold.”
‘I’ll be very quick!’
Felt that that was really thoughtful and kind of her to offer to help.
Shopping was done on Michigan Avenue where we finally get to see shopping centers in America. The usual shops though, nothing much worth mentioning. Right next to the shopping area was the Museum of Contemporary Arts. I’m not exactly the artsy fartsy sort of person and I will not pretend that I comprehend what I was looking at. But I distinctly remembered seeing an artwork done by a rising artist from Singapore. There was this silly joy associated with seeing this familiarity and tiny pride that ‘hey, we aren’t that bad you know!’ But emotions aside, it was an art work that commemorates all the missing people in out society- literally missing. There after was my second encounter with The Cheesecake Factory (after the first time in San Francisco) which had been nice too with the Vanilla Cheesecake. But it once again proves that I just don’t learn, because once again, I ordered a main course and had to box up half of it in order to stuff my cheesecake into my bloated belly.
Of course, anyone who has ever considered travelling to Chicago would have heard of the Millennium Park. I suppose it must be a huge garden/park with loads of Museums and Statues planted throughout. The park wasn’t closed for winter. But the fact was none of us could tolerate more than 10min out in the cold (despite wearing the full gear- thermals, hat, coat, scarf, gloves). So we had to restrict our understanding of the park to the brief 10min.
Moving indoors brought us (with some effort) to the Cultural Centre where we took a tour of the building. Things that we have never noticed before were explained to us, such as using long columns on wall marble to make the ceiling of one room look higher than the other, the seashell ‘trademark’ design of Tiffany glass and the design of the Chicago windows (long floor-to-ceiling window adopting the shape of 3 sides of an octagon). The architecture in Chicago was really rich, just like the history behind it.
Lunch was at the annual German Christkindlemarket (a marketplace by the Germans) with German bratwurst and Sauerkraut (sour cabbage). Oh. Breakfast was the left over from the Cheesecake Factory.
We went on to watch a theatre – A very neofuturistic Christmas Carol at the uptown area of Chicago. I really must say that the environment was not that nice. It was dark and you got to go up a flight of steps (much like our terrace houses) and the theatre was right beside a Funeral Chapel. Like ‘hello! I’m Asian and I’m a little bit superstitious.’ They had a Christmas tree decorated with fake skeleton and the people there were hyperactive (I suppose its because they are from theatre). What am I to think?! It was one of those shows that I laughed at and enjoyed myself at the most. The way they interact with the audience and the same-frequency-sense of humor had truly left an impression. Despite the simple tools, it was the zest and energy that they put into portraying the Christmas Carol that really mattered. I wonder if they really did send out the chicken sandwich (to replace a turkey) to the mother-in-law of one of the audience. It would be really cool if they did.
Greektown breakfast was the first time I really viewed upon the Greeks as a different ‘race’ because I have never really known what they were like. But the conclusion is that – they can cook, It is a family-run business and everyone is very relaxed and at home in the shop, whichever counter they were at. We then took a quick walk around the Printer’s Row neighborhood where I again, for the first time, entered an antique book store. Found out that I’m particularly interested in reading up on the relationships between the blacks and the whites and their history. Each book there could cost a few thousands or so I was told.
We went on the most interesting trip ever to Chinatown where we found durians and gave Liesbeth a treat in durians for her to try it. It was flown in from Thailand and it was frozen. The shop owner had to use the ‘cleaver’ to CHOP up the durians. When its frozen, it taste just like ice cream- cold and sweet. Of course we had Chinese food and my salted-fish fried rice=) Liesbeth’s rice noodles (hor fun) looks weird. Its like fried and its thick like a kuey. We also showed her to the Japanese snack shop and brought her into Chinese herbal shops to explain Bird’s nest, Sharksfin, Ling Zhi, Ginseng and stuff like that to her. It’s good to know that there are things that we take for granted that are not exactly that common in other people’s world.
Institute of Arts- free admission on Thursday 5-8pm. There were many different categories but a lot revolved around Christianity and you could really see the proliferation of the religion in the European and American countries and states. I particularly like this portrait. I believe that the part most difficult to capture on a drawing is the eyes. This one looked like he is smiling at me. I couldn’t help it but to smile back at him. A drawing that made me happy!
With that, we concluded our first trip out of California. More to come!
