:)

yay-ness.

thank God HCD is over.
another module gone.
now that is left is Project One.

yeahh. HCD acts like a headstart for P One laa.
it was quite fun to innovate a pen with new functions.
i designed a pen that can be extended an have a function of a back-scratcher.
i didnt do that good on the theory part.
some infos missing.
well what's done is done yeah.
fill no regrets into your life.

i'm not sad yesterday. lol.
so many asked whether i'm okay or sad..
because my face was kinda weak-looking & it seems like i'm lost in deep thoughts...
actually i'm SLEEPY!
seriously if i just close my eyes for a mere minute, i can just doze off.
lack of sleep past few days chiong-ing the HCD project.

and also actually i was thinking of something else.
bothers me much. i'm not sure if i should tell her about it.
because i am trying to deny what i am feeling.
sheesh. dammit.

anyway to my PID friends, lets chiong again for P1 alright!
we all can do this!!! ;)
we will survive through & through.
"WE STAND ALONE TOGETHER" ~ Band of Brothers.

i give hope to those in need,
and keep none for myself.

you're not like the other girls.

CNY STEAMBOAT

-
-
so yesterday as in 16 feb,
ivy, chloe, terrence, kenneth & me went to siyi's steamboat at her house.
actually the invitation was open to all of our classmates but they are busy.
-
before i went for that, siong, kenneth & me actually did some study work at the National Library in Bugis.
this HCD project is really a killer. many would agree. 1 month to come out with a new product?
gotta be joking.. well no, our school doesn't think so.
anyway we scraped up some info for the first assignment before leaving for bras basah to shop for some stuffs.
-
later on siong left. he going to his relative house.
kenneth & me then go ahead to siyi's house.
well actually meet up at pasir ris mrt station first.
so when we reach there, there is only terrence, chloe, & siyi herself.
i thought that others would come.
so i thought of buying something for her (siyi's) family as a 'thank-you-for-inviting-and-letting-me-enjoy-the-CNY-spirit-with-all' gift. yaa.
so just as i reached, i left for Whitesands to get a couple of mandarin oranges.
she said no need. but i dont care. haha. because its just me.
i just dont like coming to somebody's house (esp for an occasion) without buying something as a gift.
-
and so stubborn me sped off to NTUC. act clever.
"deii you think mandarin oranges still have ahh? so late into CNY alredy!!"
rofl. i was dissapointed. laughing at my stupidity.
so i decided to get a bucket of tangerines. they come in a mini basket anyway.
but i contacted terrence to come down with help just in case its not a good thing to buy that.
approved, i buy lorr.
-
then siyi called saying everyone is there. so okay, we rush.
its actually her friends. as in secondary school friends i guess.
i thought our PID friends. ROFL.
so we marched off to take bus to her house.
we reached the bustop & walked to her house through some series of shops.
so i head ivy was lost in there with apple (her lil sister).
haha. shopping ahh?? for daily household stuffs? lol.
cos down there its normal houseware shops not some clothing shops.
-
so in the end i go recon for her & her lil sis.
apple still remember me.
as the guy who got wet in his shirt & jeans on his 18th birthday. haha.
niway brought them back to the rest & set off for siyi's house.
i was kinda scared to enter. gritting my teeth. lol.
its not the first time going to a chinese's friends house for CNY,
(went to ivy's house before for CNY too.)
but its that its so many many people. haha.
-
either way i still go in. took a look around. stone at a place with others.
then they started eating the steamboat.
siyi bought pizza for me. cos halal. yaa. for my 'steamboat'. haha.
so kind of her & her family. like a special request.
i was kinda shy.. *ehem* to eat.
i let them take their food first.
i tink i waited too long to eat, for siyi 'fed up' i tink cos she brought the pizza to me.
cos i stoned for too long. haha.
-
so i began to eat. and apple asked me to close my food.
i say why. she say," why you never eat the other food (steamboat food). "
then i say not halal.. then she goes ohhh.. haha.
later on she still keep shuffling my food.
she's the one who tell me what to eat first and what's next.
i was bullied by a pri. 4 girl for first time at dinner.
ROFL.
once in a while. anyway she's quite intelligent & funny.
like the elder sister also laa. sisterhood mahh. hahaha.
-
so after that we played some cards before taking off.
i was like damn shock to receive the ang bao.
becos i dont really expect it. haha.
receive it anyway. so as not to discomfort them. yaa.
must blend in. hmm..
-
so ivy (& her lil sis), chloe, terrence & me left.
thanked siyi all for everything.
it was kind of an exhilirating experience for me.
haha.
so we shot off home. actually me & terrence slacked abit first before heading off.
yeahh. so thats it.
wonderful day. though abit scary for me. lol.
-
THANKS AGAIN SIYI & FAMILY FOR LETTING ME EXPERIENCE STEAMBOAT SPIRIT!
-
okay cool. now im done for. my assignments are stoning for me!
ZOMGG!!!!!!!!!!!
kk ah. i better do work. later GG.

Valentine's Day: One Lost Rose.

-
-
first of all, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY people !!!
haha. today was a damn fun day.
long story this entry. lend me your seeing eyes. read okay !!! :)
-

okay yesterday, around 11pm+ i guess.
we (the some few guys in PID, my class), decided to get the girls in our class roses.
it was a freaking shock. bcos basically we like didnt think of it earlier.
kinda late. cos anyway tmrw morning got class (which later on dont have).
so we were like having problems as to where we gonna get the roses next morning.
we conferenced in msn. lol. damn pathetic messages if you ask me.
we were like damn stressed up so suddenly.
our instincts say the girls have something for us. so its better to have something in return right?
haha. so we think think, call call, STRESS STRESS.
in the end, we decided to split up next morning to get the roses in our estates.
-
i was one of those go-getters for the rose.
so this morning (just now morning), at 0800, i shot off to Bedok Wet Market there.
then from far i saw kind of green plants hanging from a bar.
seriously i dunno whats wrong with my eyes. nearer, its bananas!
damn. haha. but luckily i made a turn and saw florist shops one row!
lucky me!!! if not, then valentine's day, we (the guys) gonna be pathetic. ROFL.
anyway Bryan was also searching for roses but in his living area. the other side.
we were shouting thru our phones to update each other's situation. lol.
-
the rose is nice. but $8 each! but no cover/backing. i was like ... ... ...
then i strolled to the other stall & they got this $3.50 ones. i was like ooo.
not to say i cheapskate laa but this is mass giving. economy already bad. haha.
what is important is that it comes from the heart with sincerity right... ... :)
yepp. so i was to buy 6 roses. Bryan buy 7.
-
then i though of giving to this girl i admire. (she's very caring & kind.)
i can't describe her main personality here becos its very obvious.
others could know her immediately if i were to describe her personality down.
anyway, its not that i have that deep feelings of love for her.
just that i love the way she does things. her smile. laughter. compassion.
i admire her for who she is.
-
okok enough of describing her. i need to talk about the story i started. alright.
so i bought one rose. intentions of giving it to her.
and confess my feelings. not love ahh remember. just admiration. haha.
i am not prepared for love. a sad truth i have to face. becos i feel that its true.
the girl who receive my first rose last time. she made me open my eyes on this.
greatful to her. if its not for her, i think i'll be like siao ahh. haha.
so i must be prepared first.
then when i love, it will be a true one. so ppl! don't waste your love anyhow. rofl.
-
okay dammit again i strayed from my story. alamakk.
kk continue.. after i bought the roses, i head to school.
it was a smooth sailing, though i can feel eyeballs rolling on me & the roses im holding.
LOL.
i met Siong coincidently. ask him for help. to get a water pot for the rose.
becos the rose might die off if no water. summore we have to wait til majority girls come.
when we got that done, we asked Dennis (our lecturer) to help us 'hide' the roses in his room.
he damn funny one. "Oh, i thought they (the roses) are for me".
and then "If you forget to claim it back, its mine ya."
i & Siong was like ... ... hahahaha.
-
so we came to studio & saw Colin working on his Valentine's Day card for all in our cohort.
guys & girls. how sweet he can be eh. haha.
the girls' card got D.I.Y. mini roses in front. while the guys' card got some kinda XX thinggy.
lol. i dunno. but the cards contain short messages. each one different.
it was so cool laa.
-
then Cheryl & Siyi actually came already. they at lab on top.
then they going to come down. Colin was like quickly hiding the cards ferst.
so they came down & Cheryl offered us a cookie she baked.
"I bake them for 7 hours you know!"
haha. the cookies' appearance is not that good laa. but the taste was indeed marvellous.
Cheryl! not bad eh. next time any other special occasions you can help us bake cookies!!! :)
-
then ppl start streaming in. then Bryan actually came on the other side of the corridor.
he was carrying the roses so evidently. i was like "faster run hide!".
Siyi saw alredy. her eyes damn sharp & fast laa. haha.
but she cant really tell what Bryan was carrying in the plastic bag.
I was like trying to silence her so Cheryl wont know.
then at one point i accidentally scratched her neck with the tip of my file.
it was seriously an accident! SO SORRY SIYI !!!
when i panic, i just cant calm down. cos too excited. ROFL.
then when most girls came alredy at the studio, we decided to FULL RELEASE the roses to them.
BAN KAI !!!
-
so then people start wishing each other Valentine's Day.
Colin started giving the cards.
Cheryl promoting her cookies.
and Bryan helped to distribute the roses.
i put my rose on my bag. and it went missing!!! somebody must have accidentally taken it.
:'( sadded. but its okay. one lost rose. wonder where it went.
the plan to give her the rose is gone. bcos the rose is gone. haizxs.
and to confess to her also seems impossible. i just can't bring it on, yet. haizxs again.
anyway Siyi actually gave chocs to us all.
but she forgot to give me! haha. but nvm. a wish is good enough.
-
so we just chillout at studio. bcos no morning class.
then we went for lunch at Mac.
its so wonderful. first time lunch Mac together gether.
then we came back & Cheris gave us cookies with a small heart-shaped straw. so creative!
thanks to Cheris too. didnt know her well but still, she is giving.
right on, we do sketching of concepts for our pen design.
chill chill.
(okay i cut short fast one laa k)
HCD (Human-Centred Design) class starts.
go for consultation. done.
stayed back with Siyi, Siong & Bryan to continue our concepts.
Syarul was there too. she was doing her work alone with clay.
yaa. so then later later, we leave tgt.
Bryan left first.
then Kenneth called me back to play DoTA with Jason & Yuki. =.= ZOMG.
so after seeing Siyi & Siong off, I got back to lab.
and play a couple of rounds. yepp.
and thats it. FULL STOP!
-
long story ehh. okay ahh.

history of valentine's day

people talk about it.
people celebrate it.
people get excited about it.
but not many knew about its history.

ahh... i actually kinda want to know more about this feb14 special day so i dig into history.com
im not sure if the source is reliable but in any case, its not for me to believe in.
bcos my religion do not have such stuffs.
ohh & plus, there is truly no 'true' history of valentine's day.
so those in history are just what they believe happened.

alright alright. i stop my own narration. in any case, here it is. summarised.


One legend says that Valentine was a priest who served in the third century in Rome. At that time, the Emperor Claudius II assumed that single men made better soldiers than those who are married. So the Emperor outlawed marriage for young men so they can become good soldiers for him (=.=). Valentine sees the Emperor's movement as an injustice of the decree and hence defied Claudius. He continue on secretly perform marriages for young lovers. Sadly, his actions were discovered and he was ordered by Claudius to be put to death. Then the day of his death is to be known as Valentine's day. I suppose. heh. FULL STOP. okay done, thats the first story.

EXTRAS - Other stories thinks that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape the brutal Roman prisons.

Another legend. Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, its believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him when he was under confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter. He then signed 'From your Valentine'. Phheeweeet. So sweeeeeeeeeet. Ohh. *Ehem* Alright. The truth behind Valentine's legend is murky & unclear but stories about him certainly emphasize his appeal as a symphatethic, heroic, & most importantly, romantic figure. Ohh and he was considered one of the most popular saints in England & France in the Middle Ages. Like idol ehh? ish3. No wonder Valentine's day ahh. People celebrate because of his romantic actions. Hmm. FULL STOP. okay thats the last one i put in here about Valentine k.

EXTRAS - Cupid. You know laa Cupid. The child-like, winged angel (deity) is often associated with our modern Valentine's day. The child is the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. So its a male. Hmm.. now i know. And in Greek mythology, Cupid is known as Aphrodite's son of Eros. wooo.


alright ahh. i tink thats enough man. walao i actually got lotsa assignments.
but still can find time to do this kinda things. haha.
okay then. seeya peeps. and for those who have been reading my blog, thanks lots!!!

ohh yaa.. APA format for using this source.
(2007). The History of Valentine's Day. Retrieved February 12, 2008, from HISTORY.COM Web site: http://www.history.com/minisites/valentine/viewPage?pageId=882

waa sweet ahh. APA in blog. ROFL!
k ahh. til' next entry. bye! :)

indispensable to my emotional life

-
school.
today was kind of a lonely day for me.
'lonely'.
not that i was alone but the atmosphere was silent.
the air was still.
not much soul was around.

-
i did my work.
somehow the silence was good for concentration.
but still, the absence of laughter was a distraction.
glancing around every few minutes in the hope some familiar face showed up.
none.
and then, i got sick.
i mean, 'sick'.

-
zZzZzZ.
i was spinning on my chair.
my work abandoned on the table.
damn, what was i thinking.
=.=
then ken came.
finally, someone to talk to.
chit chat.
continued work.

-
later on siong called in for lunch.
together with jason.
so we went to eat.
ta pao up to lab.
bryan came. issit? or did he came later?
=.=
lunch done, i left for prayers.
and came back an hour later.
-
it was raining.
it was chilly.
the wind swept by.
felt like ice biting into bones.
ooh really! , was that too exaggerating? (did i spell it right?)
i got drenched abit.
ran at the bustop full o water.
the wave rippled and swept by a girl's shoe.
ooops. "im sorry!"
ohh actually, i AM sorry.
i didnt apologize.
partly because the whole bustop, full of students, was being shrouded by rainwater.
and i ran past her fast.
she must have not seen me.
well im not saying i love to do bad things and escape.
thats not me. :D
-
ermm.
i came back to lab, shivering a lil bit.
it was so cold.
i cant take the silence anymore... .. .
ohh pls. i did not shout or scream out okay.
i just got high. yess.
i did stupid movements and disturb my friends.

-
those who know me well should know.
not to say im immature.
but the silent situation calls for it.
yaa! joke and crap around.
however in actual fact, i must admit, i have not yet reach full maturity.
i mean as in behaviour! not those hormones thinggy.
-
i just dont want to see people sad.
especially my friends.
smile smile! :)
sometimes, covering up somebody's sadness with a cheap joke is something (good),
rather than not doing anything.
right?
-
i dont know why but past few entries in my blog,
my words are of deep thoughts and critically emotional.
*gulp* 0.o
am i thinking too much?
life is too short.
not that i just know,
but i am starting to feel it happening to me.
arrrrrrrrgggghhhh! *running around frantically, hand waving wildly in the air*.
nolaa. im on my chair, peacefully.

-
hmm.
anyway valentine's day coming.
o wait chinese new year first!
ya ya. im goin camping next week!
did i mentioned before here?
i think i did.
nevermind i say again.
overnight camping at east coast, bbq pit.
friday and saturday!
woohooo.
damn im feeling so high.
cant waiiiit.... cant waiiiit....
-
back to february fourteen.
ahh. nothing is happening.
but i just wanna get that small cute voodoo doll for myself.
and if possible, a black rose.
=.=
heck. i dont know.
black rose... black rose...
i want ahh! keep keep. nice nice!
("alamak! get red rose laa then spray black! design student leii. be creative!")
what spray black? siao ahh.

-
well anyway, i think thats it laa.
