An advertisement for a blog! haha. He didn't ask me to advertise, but then I was thinking, why not? :)

Found this picture on a crunchyroll forum :) think it's funny. haha. to me la.
Read from left to right :)

Today is an exciting day :)
haha.
It started out with prayers for Joyce, Jonathan and Melody at SDE!:)
Then next comes breakfast and more studying for SW2104. except that i didn't feel like studying, so i watched anime while eating breakfast:)
heh. then i figured that i should re read the notes and reconcile what i've studied in the textbook and what to study in the notes=] hehe.
took about an hour to do tt before figuring out that maybe i should just prepare to go to the exam hall. haha :)
thanks jiehui for driving us down to pgp! thanks yizhong and guan for going down with me and praying for me:)
paper was alright :) i got a small shock when i realised i'm sitting at the first seat though. and my friend's sitting beside me! hahaha.
anyway, after tt.. went back classroom. quite tired. fatigued and hungry. lol.
went down for service with calyn and yizhong. when i reached somerset, i was like *O.o* (mind zonked out. lol)
hahaa. a few interesting things happened at nexus.

1) minghan deposited his guinea pig at the reception area!
hahaha. me and gary and celestine were like "guinea pig!! so cute! can eat one or not?" hahaa.
no la. we just went "guinea pig!! so cute! will it bite us? can pet?"
then minghan told us that his guinea pig won't move, won't bite. lol.
yes, the guinea pig doesn't bite!:) hahaa. for ease of calling, the guinea pig's called Silent (named by me. since no sound comes from it).
Silent is very timid! Silent shivers and jumps slightly when you pet and stroke it. lol. that was when Silent was in the carrier. then gary and i decided to pick it out and put it on the carpeted floor :D
to cut the long story short, Silent was not as immobile as we originally thought it was. Silent got bolder and started to move around to explore and then it sniffed and sniffed. we took photos! waiting for gary to send me the photos. LOL.
then it sat beside me for very long. then while we were both looking at it, it made a sound! =D so Silent is not so silent after all. hahaa.
and we were so happy to hear it make a sound that we exclaimed. and then we realised that...
Silent is peeing O.o
on the carpetted nexus floor.
LOL.
and it shitted!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

so being nice people, we shouted for tissue and picked up the shit. well. can't do anything much with the pee :l
then.
Silent sat down again.
and made another sound.
...
and we asked for tissue again to pick up the second tootsie-roll. lol.
yup.
anyway, i declared that Silent's a girl 'cos it's so timid.
turns out we were wrong when Celestine checked its gender after service.
Silent is a GUY. lol.

2) Someone fainted during service
Heh. poor girl:)

3) I talked to a sister called Alice from the family group :)
actually, when i was talking to her, the word 'respect' came to mind.. reminding me of what pastor shared a few sermons ago :) heh. she's helping out in the registration for the mother's day thing.. so that's why she was here :) haha. found out that she has a daughter in NYP taking business stuff.. hehe. think she's quite pro-poly 'cos of her daughter:) but interesting to hear from her perspective :) hehe. found out that gary's quite smart too! he's got 10 for his O levels, but chose to go poly instead. wow. i have amazing people in my counter :)

4) I made friends with a few poly sisters and brother!
hehe. made friends with gorris (hope i got the name right), xueping, some guy i can't remember and another sister i can't remember the name of:S shucks. anyway, i managed to find out the name of the brother (of which i've also forgotten:S) who stays one bus stop away from me!:) haha. donald. lol. he's the one who offered the inner bus seat for me the first time we took a bus together from yio chu kang and explained that that is what guys should do XD

5) There was no sound from the tvs at reception area today
Don't know what happened. lol. no sound even though the volume display on the tv screen was supposed to be quite loud. hahaa. that's why we have so much time to play with the guinea pig and talk and make friends with each other right? hahahaa.
but i missed the entire sermon. hehe.

Yup :) so that's what happened at nexus.
was quite hungry after service. and felt quite weak. on the way to PS, i was wondering if i'm gonna faint halfway there. lol.
cg dinner:) guan intro-ed an interesting game. can keep in mind for future! lol.
met michelle after dinner :) hahaa.
oh! we walked around carrefour for a bit first. hahaha. our best purchase was that of 2 doryfish fillets about the size of your chicken cutlet and one honey marinated half chicken. guess the price :) ha ha ha. the aunty gave us discount.
then saw carrie and claramae and passed down one fillet. ok. that was quite irrelevant :) hahaa.
talked to michelle for a bit :) i don't know a bit was how long. lol.
but we both missed our last buses home! and i had no money to take Nightrider. actually. i realised i got no bus home from PS :(
so.. we took cab!:) dropped michelle off first before going back to my home:)
talked to the cab driver on the way:) haha. it's a lady driver btw :) i think it's quite rare to see a female cab driver. my first time actually :)
talked to her for a bit :)
we talked about her two children, about driving, about which church she's from (she's from faith methodist! haha. the church building beside the road at commonwealth:D we rented the building for district meeting before:D), about psychological disorders ('cos she has a friend who has a son who kept pulling his hair from young:S), about counsellors in schools (and how they may not be certified..) and about the pediatric ward in kk hospital ('cos she was asking about where her friend's son can get treatment. i really dunno. lol. i only know about this ward 'cos of Dr Tay. the other suggestion i gave was to ask for referral from her GP. heh:)
yup.
and then i reached home.
oh guess what? the lady driver's name's called Alice too!:)

Boa's songs were accompanying me through the time I was studying for my human development over lifespan exam :) one song particularly stuck to my mind (there're others as well, but can't possibly introduce them all here.) lol. don't think it's the best song in the album, but don't know why it's stuck with me :) maybe it's the way she sings the song :) hahaha. should be quite a famous song i suppose.

you can click here for the kanji lyrics, the romanized lyrics and the translation of the song :) hahaa.
enjoy!

shugo chara! 25 gave me a big shock at the end:S i was like O.O
it's a completely unexpected small twist that caught me completely offguard. lol.
the identity of nadeshiko.. o.O

Cool website here
haha :) Hope Churches Worldwide blog!

Some people need to learn basic courtesy in their lives. Such as asking before using someone else's item. Or asking before peering at someone else's computer screen or textbook for a long time for no reason at all.
It's rude when you don't ask and just assume. I especially hate it when people read others' messages or emails without permission. I think it's an invasion of their privacy.

hahaha. Just realised that one of the anime I'm catching --> "Itazura na Kiss (Mischievious Kiss)" is actually very famous. lol. Famous 'cos the Taiwan series 恶作剧之吻 is actually based on the manga!:) hohoho. Exact same plot. おもしろいですよ！
Yes. it's a shoujo anime (girl fiction):P
guys can still watch it if they want though :) lol.

分手快乐
祝你快乐
你可以找到更好的
不想过冬
厌倦沉重
就飞去热带的岛屿游泳
分手快乐
请你快乐
挥别错的才能和对的相逢
离开旧爱
像坐慢车
看透彻了心就会是晴朗的
没人能把谁的幸福没收
你发誓你会活的有笑容

Something i read on a random blog :) hahaa. it's not exactly the most fluent passage, but it's interesting :)

Story By: Anonymous

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.This was the scene ten years ago.


The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water:

we had a kid;

I went into business and tried to make more money.

When the assets were steadily increasing, the affection between us seemed to ease.

She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school. Our marriage life seemed to been viably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.

Dew came into my life. It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, you are the kind of man who best draws girls' eyeballs. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we were just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls.
Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so. I moved Dew's hands aside and said you go to select some furniture,O.K.? I've got something to do in the company.Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised to do it together with her.

At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt.

Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.

One day I said to her in a slightly joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.

When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking to her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.

Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more. When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I've got something to tell you, I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the serious topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer,because my heart had gone to Dew.

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release.

Late that night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fall asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.

She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month's time before divorce, and in the month's time we must live as normal a life as possible.

Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken. She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?

This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember. You carried me in your arms, she continued, so, I have a requirement,that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning. I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage romantically.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger.

So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don't tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for a bus, I drove to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.

On the third day, she whispered to me, the outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became vague.

On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger. I didn't tell Dew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now. She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I smiled. But Isuddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain.

Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head. Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it's time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid Iwould change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms,walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.

On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old. I held her tightly and said, both you and I didn't notice that our life lacked intimacy. I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision.

I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won't divorce. I'm serious. She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn't love each other any more.

Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove to the office. When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card.

I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until we are old

'Never take someone for granted cos u'll wake up one day and realise u've lost a Diamond while collecting Stones...'

it's the time of the year whereby we mug/do work together in the same classroom once again:) hahaa. and for some late night owls, stay overnight to do work together/mug/fellowship. haha.
one person going to school became a family affair when my sister and mum decided to accompany me to school. hahaa. so funny.
i think during service today i was reminded of how i'm a seed planted in my family.. and was praying for my family during service 'cos i felt burdened.. but when i went home and reality hits me, i realised tt it's really much harder to love them than how i thought it was. hahaa. so i just told God honestly that i still find it hard. that it's tough for me to love them much. it's not that i don't love them.. but i think there's an extent of greater love which i can give to them.. a greater love that Jesus would have given to them if He was in my shoes. lol.
so my gracious God reminded me once again of how my family can be :) hahaa. thus the family affair. really quite an enjoyable time of the ride here.. haha. quite a crazy time when we went down the misty road. lol.
but it's a time which kinda changed some of the opinions which i may have formed towards them:) and it made things much easier in my heart.
hope to continue to grow in this area as well:) hehe.
meanwhile, back to studying :) hahaa.

add a forth category--> i.

i think i get irritated easily. lol. at a few groups of people :)
people who are c, s and u.
makes me feeling like slapping them.
LOL

Was searching online for information about sheep and saw this prominent website:) I think it's very interesting. haha. particularly check out the section on Smart Sheep, why do sheep follow each other and how sheep protect themselves.. lol.

hehe.
last lesson of TA6 today :) so we took a picture. hahaa. きょはTA6のクラスはおわりますから、写真を撮りました。
Sensei sent the photo to us ('cos we used his phone.. and two other phones.. to take the photos) and a msg to encourage us for the oral exams:) hahaa.
"TA6のみなさん

写真があまりきれいじゃありませんが、送りますね。
みなさん、ありがとうございました。
私も楽しかったですよ。
オーラルテストと試験がんばりましょうね。

ながみ

The photo taken is note very pretty/nice, but I've sent it over.
Everyone, thanks.
I also had fun.
All the best for your oral examinations

Nagami"

hahhaa. have been catching this cat anime series (for children i think) on crunchyroll. super cute. super funny. hahaa. i think it's funny anyway :)
First episode can be found here. hahaha.

I'm going MAD from doing lab!
Literally and figuratively.
Don't ask.

got reminded of radiolitez tonight :) haha.
wanna hear how i sounded like in the past when i was deejaying?
found a clip with my voice on it (accidentally. 'cos was using a programme to rip songs off the radio airwaves XD). haha.
here it is: (if you wanna listen to it. that is. the first clip is my deejaying before the songs. the second clip starts with the songs and end with my voice. lol you can listen to 2 songs that i really like as well. especially bryan adams' 'when you love a woman'. not everyone will agree with my taste though.)


i still have firestarter's version of 'more than words'. lol.
----
heh. i guess maybe i do get quite affected if my voice is gone for a longer time than expected. especially with auditions coming up:S
