Life has been sweet. I was busy working, busy doing my lab module, busy planning for the coming trip, and busy with knowing myself and coming close to what I yearn for. It seems that I am heading there and I am thrilled. (Okie I don't sound like that but I really am, maybe because I din have enough sleep and i have an ulcer which hurts badly)
So things are going smoothly, and so, bread and honey just comes to mind, bread as the usual common stuff and the honey which makes ordinary becomes extraordinary. I love life alot.

Beginning
To tell the truth, I enjoy going to school during this period of time. Two days of lab a week, with lab reports to prepare, starting from reading journals and textbooks, I find it much more interesting than normal lab time, as I am given ample time to make sure that I understand the lab fully and make my lab report look better. Beside going for lesson, I managed to secure the job at the tuition agency and am starting work tomorrow. This will give me more experience and income for holiday and shopping.
So today I bought 2 new shirts (the last time i buy clothes was during chinese new year) to pamper myself, met up with ivan for dinner, and managed to chat with him. And yesterday I got triply chocolate cornflakes from Mark & Spencers' as a surprise present from CK, which makes me look forward to breakfast everyday. During busier times, communication and understanding become a vital part of maintaining relationship between people, and even though it may look hard, I believe that whatever that you can overcome is truly yours.
P/S: Eat breakfast everyday!

Post Exam Activities
Once the appalling examinations are over, I began on my Post-exam activities, starting with a chalet organized by Roy at SAF Holiday resort. It is a refreshing start to see some old friends and trying to know some new friends, whom I have not seen in real person before. It is embarrassing to admit that I tend to know and talk to people more on the internet than meeting the person out of my little Apple. Okie, I have digressed. Anyway, the chalet was not too bad, since I get to try my hand at Mahjong, and play Bridge, and talk with some very busy people. LOL. I took a walk at Tampines with Jon and KS the next day, and set foot into Uniqlo which was a total let down. I can only say that it is as overrated as Dai Yang Tian, and the only product that I recommend to buy are the boxers and trunks? Nevertheless, I quite like the experience at the Eastside, made me believe that I was in another place altogether, and it is quite a shopping haven all on its own.
I met up with HK, SY and Anli for dinner and Minds' Cafe, which was pretty fun, despite the cold which I caught, from having lack of sleep during the chalet. I had tissue by my side 24/7 that day. Good to know how they are now, regret not having more time to talk to them, maybe during CK's birthday party will I be able to catch up on HK's TW trip and SY's examinations.
And there was Clara's 21st Birthday celebration, at her place in Jurong East. Her home is cosy and neat, and I can easily concussed as I bury myself underneath loads of cushions in the living room. It is just lacking of a fireplace before it transform into a cottage. I had a wonderfully fun time with the Chemistry major friends, playing Asshole Big 2, to see who is a better card dealer (and that's WJ, who is the 1st generation of asshole, and apparently not so much for Huilin's unique snail style dealing) and we decided to stop when we finally overthrow the long-reigning king, Irwan. I enjoyed the sinfully tasty Botak Jones catering, as I gnawed into those beef burgers and sausages which made Gary go insane. On top of that, there was my favorite pineapple tarts. The celebrations ended when not more than 10 of us gathered to play 'Psychiatrist', which was a Q&A, digging people innermost secret, like taking electron from the innermost shell instead of the valence shell. (lamed)
The highlight for the week was having dinner at Hainan with CK (I got to eat Beef Stew!) and watching 'A Madwoman's Diary', which features Li Xie, whom I got to know from Dua Dai Ji. As I have predicted, the show talks about 2 women, each talking and enacting their own stories, like sharing woes and joys with the audience (it's a blackbox theatre production), while the political stuff (only at the end then CK told me that Li Xie was playing a politician. However, my conclusion that the argument from this play is pretty one-sided, weakly pointing out that people should not compromise easily to their circumstances and allow others to control them or else, it leads to undesirable misfortunes. I was touched by the goat's story, because of so much emotion built up before that scene, when I imagine how traumatized and pitiful a woman could feel, to give birth to a stillborn baby. I guess the way that part was portrayed was layered and easy to comprehend and feel uncomfortable with.
And then is Mothers' Day, and it began with a family dinner (zhu chao) at Jurong West, and then Karaoke session at Chervons. I was amazed by how well my sister can sing, and the way she hits the high notes, every song feels like Christmas carols. LOL. Sally was lucky, we made a spin at the Jackpot room and she won $500 from it, and hence she footed the bill for most of our expenses for that day, including pizza delivery treat at Sarpinos, karaoke and also paying for what I lost in the Jackpot room. They give out money in bulks and they eat money real fast. Alex and I lost $40 together in 10 min. Ka Ching! It all ends well with watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and having a little game of mahjong, which I got sponsored by Angela for this week's allowance.
And now, it is time to get to Jurong Point to X-men the Origins movie, which almost everyone who was interested have watched. All these before I settle down and start special semester.

Ridiculous
I was laughing away (shake head) as I was reading the newspaper, regarding netizens' comments on the final episode of the 'Ping Pong show'. Many feel that it is wrong to show that one of the girls use her body to achieve her goals, both fame and fortune. It also shows that the girl who refuses so, was then made handicapped, as her arm was broken by the baddies. Well, if it is the show, doesn't the scriptwriter has a say to how he or she wants the show to be? In the first place, this show wasn't advertised as some sort of motivating show, and definitely isn't one of the those that claim to teach moral values. If we can't have any bad people in a show, then what's the show about? Of course in this world we are in, there are people who are corrupted and people who are good. People who have lived long enough will understand that life isn't that fair and hence, being morally right in the show doesn't mean you have a good life. For instance, how come no one says that it is very wrong for Yuzhu (Little Nonya), who has been doing good deeds throughout, to suffer an ill fate? (Glad she did, if not dear Joanne would not become Best Actress)
Okie, I have digressed. What I feel is that, a writer should not be restricted when it comes to writing. Period.

Labour Day
Mayday has passed! To many, it is just a public holiday = more free time, like how it applies to me, like more time to spend with people around me, or for plain studying for the examinations. In short, Extra time spent to do things that you didn't have time to do. It seems that public holiday that we aren't interested in are not of our concern, it simply equates to free time. Pretty much apply to our daily life, isn't it?
