blog post #186 – update

I’ve reached Taiwan for about one week plus now.
Everyday my life is:
Wake up (12pm-1pm) – Watch TV – Eat – Watch TV – Sleep(12am-1am)
super bored!
I am so bored that I started playing final fantasy on my ipad -_-
So bored that i started to read Lolita, chinese version.
so bored of the book I started to draw on my notebook (Gosh can you believe how bored I am?)
Then I was so bored that I discovered that mmy creativity was killed by two years of JC (When I wanted to draw something, yet I was unable to think of anything at all to draw)
So this is my life at Taiwan, when i need internet, I gotta go out to the breezing cold wind to steal my neighbour’s WIFI, and now because my brother reach Taiwan two days ago, I’m able to steal WIFI inside of my house using laptop (I was using Ipad then, connectivity apparently lousier than a laptop)

BUT! Things are gonna change next week cuz’~
I’m going to 花蓮和台東-知本溫泉!
YAY! I’m finally going to a Taiwan hotspring!!
Okay Ive gotta go bath now before it gets colder in the night,
will upload nice pics next time to my Facebook
OH YA!
I forgot to announce that my mom bought me (lent money, gotta return her)
a Olympus EP3~~~~~~
woots~~~~

天城越え
Amagi goe
Crossing Amagi

隠しきれない 移り香が
Kakushi kirenai utsuri na ga
The indelible, lingering scent

いつしかあなたに しみついた
Itsu shika anata ni shimitsuita
Stained you unawares

誰かに盗られる くらいなら
Dare ka ni torareru, kurai nara
If someone stole you, I couldn’t bear it

あなたを殺して いいですか
Anata o koroshite ii desu ka?
Could I kill you?

寝乱れて 隠れ宿
Nemidarete kakure yado
An unmade bed in a secret room,

九十九折り 浄蓮の滝
Tsuzura ori jouren no taki
The winding Jouren waterfall

舞い上がり 揺れおちる 肩のむこうに
Mai agari, yure ochiru, kata no mukou ni
Rises dancing, falls trembling; over your shoulder

あなた…… 山が燃える
Anata… Yama ga moeru
My dear… the mountain is burning

何があっても もういいの
Nani ga atte mo mou ii no
Whatever is there, it’s enough

くらくら燃える 火をくぐり
Kura kura moeru hi o kuguri
Passing through the dizzily burning fire

あなたと越えたい 天城越え
Anata to koetai, Amagi goe
I want to cross with you, cross Amagi

口を開けば 別れると
Kuchi wo hirakeba wakareru to

Running water, love lost

風の群れ 天城隧道
Kaze no mure amagi suidou
The wind rushes, the waterway through Amagi

恨んでも 恨んでも からだうらはら
Urande mo urande mo karada urahara
Even if I resent you, even if I resent you, who have turned your back on me

あなた…… 山が燃える
Anata… Yama ga moeru
My dear… The mountain is burning

戻れなくても もういいの

blog post #183 – good food bad food

Yesterday was my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary and the gahmen gave them a a special treat at some ATAS restaurant, leaving me and my brother.
And so, we decided to eat something nice too, I suggested the Korean BBQ at Tanjong Pagar but my brother says that it was too far away so we went to Somerset instead.
So the ‘food king’ brought me to many places but I didn’t like any of them and we ended up in some uloo japanese ramen shop, which was REALLY NICE!
It was a really really small shop and we even had to share tables but the food was really good and filling! Quite authentic and ramen were very chewy.
After that we went to walk around at 313, orchard central, triple one blah.
Then I wanted to eat ice cream and made one of the worst choice yesterday…

At first, I thought Marvelous Cream was still at 313, but obviously I was wrong… Marvelous Cream disappeared and we went to Coldstone Creamery instead.
Alright, Coldstone Creamery, a bit ATAS, still got soooo many people queuing for it at 9++ to 10 pm.
After seeing the queue, like every Singaporean, I thought that this could be quite good.
I ordered a German choka… (some German word) and my brother got a chocolate devotion.
The first few mouthfuls was quite okay but as I ate on…
I felt like puking.

yeah, it IS that bad.
sorry if I offend anyone who likes coldstone but I just couldnt finish it.
My Ice cream consists of chocolate ice cream, brownies, PECANs and coconut
I forced myself to finish the ice cream, couldnt finish the dipped waffle.
Every time I bite a Pecan, I feel like puking.
As you know, nuts contains a lot of oil and these pecans that i ate contains enormous amount of OIL!
Every pecan that i bite left a mouthful of what which taste like oil, I was practically eating oil!!
Whats more? Theres coconut!!
The whole ice cream was soooooo sweet and my brother couldnt stand it too!

It was so disgusting! I really couldnt take it!
argh
When we talk about good food, or rather dessert, we talk about them being sweet but you wont get sick of it easily right?
BUT THIS ISN’T THE CASE!
after like 5 mouthfuls, I got really sick of it, because I didnt want to waste my money, I finished the ice cream.

Anyway, so much for the complaining, I should really write a review at Hungrygowhere.
I shall blacklist Coldstone Creamery from today onwards, at least the German Choko.. thing, I’ll never eat it anymore again.

blog post #182 – My Iphone 3GS Farewell Rite

Okay, 10 minutes ago, my iphone left the world with 3% battery.
Unable to charge, unable to sync, can feel nothing when the usb cable touched her. (I assumed its a ‘her’)
alright, 30 minutes ago I was trying to upload the pictures that i’ve taken after my last sync, to Facebook with 25% batt life.
Trying to back up using Icloud as well, but of course it didn’t managed to pull through…
at 3%, i still need 23 mins before my icloud finishes back up, and there she goes…

Okay, maybe I should explain my Iphone’s death?
it goes like this, this year around March, something weird happened to my iphone, she stop responding when the usb cables were trying to give her the neccessary energies she needed, but after a few hours of force feeding, she managed to get charged up and it was all okay.
This kind of incidences occurred a few times but not a lot of times until about august~october, these -unable-to-charge- incidences occurred at a very frequent rate, but somehow she still managed to charge.
But her Batt life got shorter and shorter, i need to charge her for 2~3 times each day, thats why you see me carrying her life support cables around everyday to school.
Then came a fateful day, blacked out all of a sudden, again, no response to cables, nothing.
I brought her to see a doctor(Fixtrox.com – Sim Lim Tower, lvl 13, v good)
The doctor changed the battery and she sprung into life! I was so happy! her old battery was like jelly and i immediately thought that that was the cause of all her illnesses.
Before I reached home, I noticed that her ‘new’ batt life also finishes really quickly, much faster than her old batt one, thus i took notice of it.
Reality struck when I reached home, she still doesnt respond to cables at all! Even after changing battery! (55 dollars somemore)
Now then I know, her cattery was not the only cause of her illnesses.
Out of no choice, I brought her back to the doctor.
The doctor says that to cure her, a fee of 200+ is needed, of course non of us (my family) agreed to it so we left her to die…
I brought her home with 30++ battery life and the things I wrote above happened.

Today is end of my beloved Iphone 3GS’s life. Adios, may you rest well in peace in my cupboard…

blog post #181 – new start.

2011 have started, and this is the end of the second week.
Time has past so quickly!
I have updated so little during these past months…
I have nothing to write about actually, nothing special has happened to me.
I guess, I’m becoming more and more ‘un-blogger’ like.
I used to post anything and everything in my blog, and now, I just don’t feel it is necessary.
I mean, why post what you ate, where you went and what you do in a day on your blog?
These are not some things that are significant, IMO.
Nowadays, I post only my feelings and thoughts. When i’m having problems and feel stressed, and needs some ‘place’ to talk to, i’ll post it in my blog.
Well, thats the case here.
My life is kinda boring and there are (currently) no such desire for me to post anything at all.

I’ve changed, i guess.

Seeing my friends all having BFs make me wanna have one too.
I’ve never had one, never had the opportunity. My yuanfen hasn’t come yet.
I’m not desperate, or maybe I am?
I think it would be nice if you have a special someone whom you can talk to without any restraints. I don’t know, at least my ideal relationship would be that sort.

Someone said to me that he’s surprised that I don’t have a BF, because I looked like as though I had one.
Do I? But why I don’t have one?
It bows down to many many reasons that I would prefer not to talk about.

Anyway, enough of that self-reflection-crap.

Blog post #179 – life is boring

Life is really very boring when:
- you study for night study everyday in school till 10.30 and reaching home at 11.30
- studying very little and being very unproductive
- life is all about promos promos promos a levels a levels a levels.
- there is no hot guys to admire. (I’m a bit sick of chukerei a.k.a. Chocolate a.k.a. 牛郎 esp. when I can’t find him around)
- you have sleep deprivations, computer deprivations, freedom deprivations
- constantly bugged/restricted by thoughts of promos and being retained and not getting average ‘c’. Yet your studying is getting no where.
- you have too high an expectation for yourself
- you feel like screaming but lack the energy to do so
- you feel like throwing away all your notes, promos, and just go SLEEP, and yet you just can’t
- find out/ realize that you have a long long way to go (for studying for promos) and yet promos is just next week. Not to mention not starting on GP at all and h2cll.
- life sucks.

Blog post #178 – self reflection

Had a great time studying with wippy today. Although the only thing I did was current electricity notes.

I came to think about this issue of mine, a seemingly incapability of attracting guys. (lol) having seen dear wip falling into love quite a few times, or have had the experience of so, isn’t it good to have such experience too? Well, I haven’t had any. (although I looked as if I am ‘experienced’ or so called by one of my friend from japan trip) I am seriously an innocent, inexperienced old maid a.k.a. Old virgin (lol)

This post might look like a joke but it actually isn’t, it is a pure self reflection of myself and my seemingly incapability of attracting guys.

So back to self reflection. I reflected on some points about the issue and is quite concerned about the conclusions that I’ve reached.

1. I am fat. Well at least, not slim.
2. I live in my own world as in, I do not live in the same world as ‘normal people’.
3. I have this sulky facial expression which is ‘heaven-gifted’ (please translate directly to Chinese) which proves to deter guys from approaching me. (my mum said so)
4. I don’t really mix with the guys, I don’t really talk to them. Reason is because firstly I’m shy (yeah right). Secondly is that there is just no common topic to say! At least I can’t think of any. (I’m shy)
5. I have no men fate.
6. My mr. knightley / mr. Right have no appear yet.
7. It’s just not the time.
8. My ideals are too high. Quite true, because I only like guys who are:
A) intellectual, clever, smart, capable.
B) obviously have an attractive face, or body. Must be friggin’ taller than me. A.k.a. More than 180cm
C) or both. As in the intellectual part and the attractive part.
D) MUST include abilities like: filial etc.
9. A repeat of a previous idea: maybe guys think that I’m ‘too experienced’? Apparently according to that friend of mine. Thus they are detered because I look as though I’m attached? (it’s true, I’m always attached)
10. It’s not my problem, it’s their problem. It just happens that the guys I attract are the nerd nerd kinds, who don’t express their affections? (a hypothesis)
