Saturday went teaching seminar with Chye Hong and Li Wee. The talk was not bad but one of the speaker was very very very draggy and the voice is mono-tone de lo...luckily she is not RP faci if not none of the students will listen to her haha. I had the 冲动 to be a teacher but yet I do not think I have the quality to be one haha. So now I am still considering. But this is not an easy career path. I have to take 2 EPT then apply for the job, interview. Heard that the interview is not so easy cause the interviewees are high senior position. Being teacher has always been in my mind but I still do not dare to take the first move.
After the seminar, went to have hair cut with my 2 sister somewhere near Funan there but I not sure where also haha. The result of my hair cut is erm...terrible?! Haha...The hairstyle is ok but is the colour that the person highlighted on my hair. Copper brown but to me its not brown at all!!! I was so shocked...Received many feedbacks both good and bad...some say nice I dun noe really nice anot or just to comfort me haha...some say too short, not used to my new me! But personally, I think its a good try for me haha...Having a very short hairstyle, I feel very refreshing! Haha

Hi long time no update le...Currently, I am looking for jobs and giving my last shot for my FYP 2 which we will be presenting on 23rd Jan (next wed)!!! So scary haha but let's hope everything will goes smoothly because we really put in effort into it =P
Let me share a story with u all; a story on M (female) and S (guy)...
M and S had a relationship for 1 year plus. Though M had some previous relationship but the 2 she will really consider is one in secondary sch de and one will be the current one. But she always feel that her relationship will not last. The first relationship she did put her effort in but ...
The current relationship the 2 of them went through many unhappy things, many misunderstanding caused by her bf's ex and many think that they will not last long. But due to all these unhappinesses, both of them had a better understanding of each other and making the relationship stronger than before. BUT now came the news that might separate the 2 of them permanently. In their heart they know clearly it might still end up in breaking but they still chose to remain silent taking one step at a time. Though S is feeling sad too but he always acted as if he is happy in order to cheer M up. Seeing him like that M felt more miserable. Sometimes M is thinking of being the bad guy and end this relationship thoroughly as she is feeling tired really tired of holding on to this relationship and at the same time she is afraid that when it is time for them to part.
I believe in Miracle so here I hope that Miracle will really happen for M and S!!! =]

Just a random entry haha. Now I am having HR lesson today's lesson quite fun lar cause we doing skit!
Sunday was the most stupidest day I ever had! I ate 2 banana fritters which were spoil and my dad told me they were the new 'breed' of bananas. This is not stupid the stupidest thing is I actually believed him and ate 2 until my sis took out the third piece and it looked like a normal banana...Haiz!!!
BUT one happy thing happened to me is that, I got a Nintendo DS! I am not rich lar so I bought the first version of NDS at $99 (paid by my sis first haha) thus, compared to NDS LITE, mine is bit bigger, thicker than lite and the contrast is also bit dimmer. Anyway I bought a cheaper one was cause I just want a game to play during my free time or on journey to further place so I dun see the purpose of getting a more ex one when the functions are almost the same as mine. I can also play the same game as NDS lite and GBA so I think it worth it! Haha. I will rather buy a cheaper machine to play and spend more money on the game cables wahaha. So people if next time u wanna buy gifts for me can consider to buy game for me!!! Yeah haha...
Yesterday got to know my FYP presentation. Its on 23rd Jan, Wednesday 1pm-2pm. An afternoon slot!!! Arrr but nvm hope to get it done asap! For the two evaluators, I do not know them or even heard of them keke. Wish that they are NICE people =S its still early to worry bout this issue haha.
Hmmm few days ago my mei mei told me a sad thing. She asked me me this year turning 20 how I feel about it, I said I feel excited haha and know what she said; she say " I can't imagine u 20+ and 30+ le still so lame" WHAT!!! I am not lame lo just entertaining people around me. If I am not like this you all will miss me!!! Wahaha
After buying NDS I am so broke now cause need to pay my sis in installment serve me right for being so 冲动 but still at least I got a new entertainment keke (this is call self consoling haha). CNY coming le so so so looking forward to it especially the reunion dinner. Haven finish buying new clothes...This yr got 4 days but me oni gt 3 suits. Wanna buy one more but no money le. This year I din buy jeans so not like me hor haha but I got 2 shorts but now I am hunting for a jeans skirt!

OK! I am back haha. Today is the second last day of my last holiday cause I will be starting sch on Mon and after 4 weeks, I will be graduating. I should feel happy about leaving school but thinking of stepping into working society made me very very nervous. Once I 毕业， I am officially 失业 haha so currently I am flipping newspaper to search for job vacancies. I always see people around me get job easily but for me damn hard lar keke. For the past few days, I have been doing my last FYP and thanks god finally, we are done. Now we left the test run of the whole application so that we can further improve anything if needed.
Hmmm ok now will continue to blog on my taiwan trip.
I will move on to my third day. We set off to 九份 at 8am. We took MRT to Taipei main station and walk around 3 mins to the railway station and got tickets to head to
瑞芳站.
After reaching the station we have to take bus up to 九份. 九份 is sort of a hill like that. After alighting, we just have to follow the path and walk upwards. There are many things to see, buy and of course EAT! But the most commonly seen delicacy is hand made fish and cuttle fish ball! You will be shocked by the taste of the balls and the price yummy! The most important thing is that the weather is very very extremely COLD!!! Even with jacket and scarf, I still feel cold but one fun thing is that when we talked, there is will 'smoke' coming out haha so FUN!
Actually the walking space was not big cause two sides were shops and packed with people and we walked we were very busy...busy looking out for vehicles coming our way the cars would not give way to u the driver will just vroomed past u. Scary hor but that's how the traffic worked in Taipei. Humans are not afraid of vehicles and vehicles will not give way to people.
Grilled mushroom
with oyster sauce!
Yum yum
I ate 2 times haha
Fishball, pork ball,
cuttlefish balls and
many more; total
5 different flavours
TADA! see the
mist, so can u
imagine how
cold is it =S
Around afternoon 3 plus, we went back and headed down to 五分埔. Its a whole sale garment place. The whole area sells the latest fashion clothes but due to the season we went, there's nothing for me to buy. I can't possibly buy thick clothing for Singapore weather haha. I think we did finish walking the whole area but there is another part we did not go because our legs would be broken if we continued to walk.
Fourth day, we went out early in morning again and headed to 淡水.
Dun look at me I know I
look awful haha
but the ice cream...SO TALL!!!
Small size ice cream
Then we took ferry to 渔人码头.
See how strong is the wind...ooo
Some funny thing I came across in Taiwan. Do u understand? Haha
Then we headed to Miramar!!!
Taken in ferris wheel cable
I really enjoy this trip beside having good food, beautiful scenery I also get to bond better with my family. Because of this trip, I get to travel on 海 (ferry) 陆(mrt and rail train) 空 (air plane and ferris wheel). So now I must really earn money to travel more haha.

HAPPY 2008 TO ALL! Today is a new start for u and me. Since it is a new start, I have decided to give my blog a new 'clothes'. =] After today, I will have a busy busy week rushing FYP (due at 14th Jan 08).
I have got all the photos taken during my taiwan trip so I am posting them right now. Since there are so many things to blog on I will blog on my Taiwan trip part 1!
Some pics we took in Changi Airport:
First day:
Reached Taoyuan Airport round 7plus and took a 45 mins transport to our hotel; Royal Castle 成都饭店 in the Ximending district. After we unpack our luggage, we went down to Ximending walk walk. Most of the shops closed le so we just took a stroll and familiarize the area and grabbed some bites of course! =D
Second day:
We woke up at 6am cause we need to get ready for our 1/2 day tour by 8am and our breakfast was served at 7.30 am. We went to several places but I have forgotten most of the names haha. Here are some pictures taken while waiting for our tour bus to arrive.
This school is situated just opp the hotel we staying.1st destination:
I believed that most of u had heard this place frm the news last year. This is the first place we went.
2nd destination: Museum
We were not allow to take any pic so I only have 1 pic on the letter box outside the museum. It has 2 colours so I guess they are for different purpose too.
3rd destination:
This is an interesting place. There are many diff tribes in Taiwan and for some purpose the tribe leaving in this place that we went was one of the minority left. They also sell their 特产 for $ to contribute to the rest of their people. There are 3 princesses; royal princesses and we managed to have a photo with the youngest princess. She is really beautiful and still single haha.
4th destination:
If I did not remember wrongly, this place is like a 祠堂 to 纪念 those people who died from ar like 孙中山. They are sort of soldiers guarding like in Sinagpore there are soldiers standing outside the Istena. But one very different thing between Taiwan and Singapore is; they have to change shift every 1 hour and when changing shift they have to do some sort of performance like marching frm one end to another to change shift and back to the front to change another pair of new soldiers. The journey frm one end to another is very long really very long. Imagine they have to do this every single day and every one hour per day. I see already very tiring can u imagining if u are the one doing it. Furthermore, their NS salary is much lesser than the salary here.
5th destination: Our last place where we get to try out the 凤梨酥， 绿豆酥， 栗子酥 etc. We all place order like siao at least not me la cause I dun eat these stuff only place order for Mei Ker haha.
After the 1/2 day tour, we went back to hotel to place the stuff we bought during the tour. Then went for lunch at Ximending. We had lunch at a shopping mall food junction while my parents and granny went to Mac. They said the Mac there taste nicer than here except there isn't chilli provided haha.
Then we hanged around the arcade for an hour before moving on to 台北101; second tallest building in the world! We took MRT from Ximending station and waited for shuttle bus to bring us there. When the bus came, we were all shocked!
Have u ever seen a bus and driver so cool before?! Wahaha
When we stepped into the bus, there was a pre Christmas atmosphere! =]
Does this looks like our local ‘奇怪海鲜‘? Haha of course it is not. This was taken in the supermarket in 台北101 building.We did not buy things as it is just as similar as our Taka. We just went there for experience keke. After some shopping we found a place to sit down and settle dinner. My mei mei asked me to order a grilled chicken drumstick for her. See the way she eat haha so delicious hor haha. Something special here is that the stall holder gave us plastic gloves so that we will not dirty our hands when using hands to eat the chicken. How thoughtful of them!
See Taipei 101 building looks beautiful from night outside!After our dinner, we walked to Eslite Bookstore. It is a 24 hour bookstore, situated in a shopping mall. The toilet there I will say is the coolest toilet I have ever seen in my life. Haha. When u stepped into a cubical, the toilet bowl cover will auto open up and the toilet seat has been disinfected liao. So clean and high tech hor haha!
Then at 10 plus, we went to 华西街观光夜市 until 11 plus, we took train back to Ximen station and headed back to our hotel for rest!
End of part 1. I will update on part 2 soon!
