Your Inner Gender is Male

You are rational, matter of fact, and quite dominant.
You like to get things done, without any emotional messiness.
You truly don't understand most women. And you definitely feel more comfortable around men.
No doubt about it. You're a guy - at least on the inside.
What's Your Inner Gender?


saw this on lanpei's blog.. oh crap.. so i'm a MAN.. that explaines why whenever i go shopping.. i only shop for food.. =P

mood swings.
12:11 AM

bah. stupid lazy sunday.
been feeling angry.
irritated.
even vengeful??!!
oh crap. maybe i need to see a pyschiatrist.

but sometimes i reli do feel that u'll be happier if i stayed overseas and never came back.
.
.
.
anyway decided tt there's no pt sulking. so i tried yet another new receipe for non-bake cookies!



it tastes better than it looks k. it's peanut butter chocolate soft cookie!! =)
.
.
went for a walk with oint after dinner.. (oint's my youngest sis)
oint: wat's it like to be in the middle? i mean having both elder and younger sisters.
me: having an elder sis is better. younger sisters not so good.
oint: huh?! why u say i not good??
me: i'm not saying tt u're not good.. juz saying that.. elder sisters will take care of younger sisters.. help them do stuff.. run errands.. get them stuff. younger sisters won't do all that. they'll juz "ko-toh" ur money. maybe take things for granted.
oint: hmm ya lor.. i also think so. luckily i have 3 elder sisters to "kotoh"!

conclusion: it's always best to be either the eldest or the youngest. the middle one juz gets in the way.

to oint: i love u all the same =)

Your Gluttony Quotient: 60%

You definitely have your gluttonous moments. For you, eating is a true hobby.
And while you do spend a lot on food, you can always make it back winning eating contests.
How Much Gluttony Do You Have?


haha.. see??? i am not 100% or 99% glutton!! lalala.. ok.. maybe the test's not very accurate..
yeh i know.. i shld STOP doing these stupid tests and flooding my entire blog with it... but i can't help it!! i am so.damn.freaking.bored!! (and yes.. i wld rather die of boredom then start studying for my biosep paper on wed..)

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).
What Color Is Your Brain?


oooooooohhh.. green brain!! =)

lallallalallala.. heh.. reli feeling super slack and happy now =) 4 papers OVER!! so now i haf 5 days to rot till the biosep paper next wed.. 5 days!! heh. it's like super far away la.. shall not mug for it till next monday. =) (i intended to start on sunday.. but XP said "nobody studies on sundays!" haha.. so yeh.. monday it shall be!)

anyway.. i saw 2 ppl mugging for the biosep paper yest (rite after the unit ops 2 paper!!) they're mad mad mad mad.. simply *horrifying* if u ask me.. no wonder they say CBE is a mad faculty. i so agree!!

yup.. yest was CRAZY!! after unit ops 2 paper in the morn.. haoz and i had a quick lunch at quad then it was mad frantic MUGGING and brain cramming for the next 4hrs!! stupid PE paper at 5pm.. and guess wat's the subject about?? Psychology of Crisis Stress Management! see the irony?? we were machiam like stuck in a CRISIS for that freaking 4 hrs lah.. reading and memorizing all that stuff about POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.. don't they noe that too much mugging leads to some form of traumatic stress disorder as well?? ok enough ranting.. anyway the paper turned out alrite. haha. and we left EARLY!!!!!!!!!! (leaving early is highly crucial in times like this coz it means we get to head for dinner EARLIER =))

yep! so to celebrate and mark the end *oops.. i mean almost the end* of the exams.. we FEASTED!! (duh expected i noe.. think i'm such a glutton that only food excites me.. heh)

we went swensons.. supposed to go BIG-O.. but it's all the way at millenia lahs. by the time we reach there we would haf fainted from hunger. heh. so we settled for swensons! anyway this is the big big roast chicken stuffed with cheese! there's pumpkin and some vege hidden at the bottom as well.. it's super nice!! soft and succulent.. haha (i so so shld be a food critic!)

and how can a meal be complete without dessert!! ~tada!! my all-time favourite!! hot banana crumble+bananas+caramel+ice cream!! simply out of this world.. *faints*

finally.. happy and well-fed =)

wheeee.. can't wait for the exams to end! i shall bake brownies and cookies and muffins and bread pudding and everything bake-able! haha.. lalala.. such a glutton.. =P

facts & myths!
7:45 PM

Happened to chance upon this online...

Qn: Do you know what Hashima is? Some have claimed that it is part of the reproductive secretions of female frogs while others insist that its the stuff that male frogs produce for the process of procreation What really is it?


Ans: Hashima is not frogs' sperm as some have claimed! Commonly known as Snow Jelly, it is from the dried oviduct (fallopian tube) of the female frog found in the Chang Bai mountain region in China. The dried oviduct when soaked in water can expand to 10 to 15 times in size and has a soft glutinous/chewy taste. Eaten for its rich protein, minerals , amino acids, vitamis etc, it is suppose to nourish your lungs, kidneys and your complexion too!

oh man.. dried oviduct......... ok.. at least it's not sperm.. anyway both are juz as gross la.. but it tastes FANTASTIC!! so i'll still eat it anyway =)

reflections
10:35 PM

we're taught to love and not to hate.
to forgive and forget.

often we will forgive... albeit after some time..
but we won't ever forget.
and that we wld want tt person to always remember tt we have once forgiven him/her.

to the ppl whom u urself know tt u have let me down immensely:
i hope u won't forget that i once forgave u.

to the other person tt i have hurt so much:
thanx for forgiving me.. and i won't ever forget tt u were kind enough to forgive..

sigh.. if only there weren't so many let downs in life.. then there probably won't even be a need to forgive. much less forget abt the unhappy memories. guess it's all part and parcel of growing up...

PHANTOM of the OPERA!!
9:54 PM

went esplanade for the much anticipated phantom musical today! we paid a bomb for it but ended up sitting at the edge of the chair THROUGHOUT the entire performance k.. coz there's this metal railing in front of us and if we shld sit back comfortably.. then our view will be obstructed by the stupid metal bar. can u imagine how irritating that is?? pay so much then we dun even get to warm the entire seat la!! and it's not juz us k.. it's the ENTIRE row of ppl.. all hafto sit on the edge of their seats to peer down at the stage OVER the metal railing. bleah. but yeh.. i shall be more refined and quit complaining.. since the PHANTOM was FANTASTIC!! relireli great vocals and sound effects.. grand props & stage set up.. simply amazing.. =)
oh.. b4 the musical.. haoz treated me to WARAKU!! it's this jap restaurant at some obscure place below the linkway from marina to millenia walk.. anyway...

here's the first set that we ordered! looks like alot right?? WRONG! nothing much one k.. though got tempura.. jap soup thingy with the flame and sashimi.. (look at chumchum's gian peng face!!so well-learnt from me.. haha)

so like i said.. it wasn't filling mar.. (ok.. i admit we're greedy..) so we ordered this potato with cheese in hotpan.. (LHS), cold soba with some stuff on it.. THIS is super nice!! anyone who adores soba shld go try!! yup.. and finally had matcha ice cream for dessert! =)

kk.. 4 days to exams.. i SHOULD reli start doing sth abt it..

last presentation/ project of the sem!!
10:22 PM

yupyup.. today's a happy happy day!! coz it marks the end of ALL projects & presentations (sadly for this sem only) but yeh.. though we obtained some not v fantastic grades tt varied from the desired output response, we're juz reli super glad tt it's all over.. yippee!! but now.. THE exam looms of coz.. relireli high time i start getting stressed & start mugging!!

anyway.. to commerate our last group thingy together.. we took a photo of our FORMAL attire!!

u'll realize tt the lighting's super bright.. think maybe scbe's too rich.. install too many lights & the entire building's perpertually The North Pole. any one who's warm blooded will be frozen alive. so if they're reli that rich.. then when on earth will they be installing the printers in our printer-less computer lab?? the idea of having a huge computer lab with soooooo many computers and not a small tiny single printer is simply so ridiculous..

anyway.. like i was saying.. u'll realize from the photo above tt the lighting's super bright.. so all of the faces appear ghostly.. except mine! so my pt is.. if u wanna take photo under strong lighting.. be sure to go for a tanning session first =)


'kok-kok' shoes galore!! heh.. this is the only time u'll ever catch me in 'kok-kok' shoes k.. i can never seem to balance on any form of raised-platform. juz reli grateful tt i'm naturally taller than average. else i think i'll juz die of short-ness and wallow in self-pity while other vertically-challenged gals get to strut ard with their head up high in the sky in their 3-inch killer 'kok-kok' shoes..

oh anyway.. side-track a little..

nope.. i'm not promoting/ selling chinese painting online here.. this pretty panda painting above is painted by my youngest sis!!! amazing rite.. she is so super artistically-inclined la.. maybe next time she can be some famous picasso or sth. heh. (yeh i noe picasso doesn't do chinese calligraphy.. it's juz an analogy..)

yup.. watching Phantom of the Opera tmr!!!!!!!! lalalla.. there goes another one of those why-are-u-out-slacking-when-everyone-else's-studying days.. oh well.. i promise i'll start on sunday!!

i reli deserve to be shot.

good frens' bdaes mind u..
those who reli mean sth to me,
not one of those many aquaintances in life.
missed pk's one in march.
now i juz missed xinxin's.
wishing them a happy belated's just not the same u noe.
it makes it seem like they're unimportant...
when they're not!!
arghhhhhhh

oh well.

TOP 5 THINGS THAT SERIOUSLY ANNOY ME:

1) ppl who are ALWAYS late- do they NOT have a watch or they simply can't tell the time??
2) having to wait aimlessly for late ppl
3) THE spatially retarded - sch gals who love forming one long unbreakable chain along the squeezy walkway & block ur route to fresh air
4) irritating aunties who barge and force their way thru the ppl exiting from mrt trains juz so they can get in and plant their wide ass on an empty seat - someone shld tell them if they dun let the ppl inside get out, no one's gg to get in!!
5) being so pissed off in a single day that i hafto come up with this stupid annoying list to vent out all the pent up frustration.. else i think i may juz wallop some fashionably LATE ppl up.

arghhhhhhh.. want to irritate me further and watch me die of heart attack??? arrange to meet and be late. it never fails.

...............................................................................................................................................................

saw him today. after wat seemed like a long period of drought. but it's my fault la. coz i had to venture into HIS south-spine. wth. i will so never go to the south-spine again. seems like he still hates me to the core. oh well. i did attempt a weak smile in his direction but his face juz turned blacker & he juz marched past me.

it's been 4mths already. wonder when he'll get over it...

on days like this.. i can't help but regret my decision which was made on a moment of impulse to go china.. it was to escape one bad experience... only to bring another worse one back. sigh. wth. wish i never met u.

alrite. i reli hafto admit... the female species may be totally weird and difficult to understand at times. u can't blame us though..we are more complex u noe..

and sometimes u juz gotta make do with the fact that not every single thing (be it stupid or smart) tt we do has a reason behind it...

yeh.. so we are temperamental and pull a reli long black face when we're pms-ing.
and when u ask us why we're upset.. and we can't come up with an exact reason.. u conclude tt we're just throwing tantrums or simply plain weird.
(ok.. maybe i shldn't use the word 'we'.. other feminists may sue me for over-generalizing..)

anyway, sure.. so being such a glutton, i get reli upset and highly irritable when my stomach's growling and i dun get to eat.. which is made worse when.. when i finally get to eat.. it isn't sth i like and somehow it just fueled my sulkiness even more coz the stupid meal tt i was so so looking forward to turned out to be so unsatisfying!!!!

dun get wat i mean??take for instance.. guys ADORE meat rite.. so after some intensive gruelling workout session (i dun care if its on the bed or at the track), u're super duper hungry and all u want is a gd dinner = big big slab of roasted meat. so u start salivating and maybe hallucinate sinking ur teeth into meat already.. and then.. to ur dismay.. u end up having to eat something tt u relirelireli dislike!! (hmm.. i can't imagine wat food guys can possibly dislike.. say for example.. a thin puny slice of bread) yeh.. so tell me how u'll feel.. IMMENSELY UPSET RITE??!!

rite.. so now u understand..

there's a reason why gals sulk.
and why gals crave for ice cream and chocolates and cakes at weird hrs of the day.
AND of coz there's an even BIGGER reason why gals sulk EVEN more when they dun get to eat wat they're craving for!!

so maybe gals are not that hard to understand afterall..
u juz hafto dig dipper.
into their stomach.
and feed them with desserts =)
then maybe we'll make ur life better and more bearable!! heh

(not enclosed in the Singapore ZOO) is quite sth k..

yep.. noe i'm supposed to be mugging my ass off like EVERYONE else since exam's are like.. less than 2 wks away?? but somehow i'm not kancheong yet..no mood to study u noe.. check on me like 2 days before the exam and see how i PANIC!! but for now.. still very much enjoying life =)

today marks the END of our TORTUROUS 6-hr lab sessions!!!!!!!! haha.. lalala.. damn happy lahs. a group of gals actually cheered when the prof finished asking them the routine super difficult 'brain-eating' qns-tt-make-up-50%-of-our-grades! i am not kidding.. they CHEERED and happily trotted out of the lab and left us there to face our share of the 'brain-eating' qns.

anyway.. u muz be thinking.. 6 hrs lab!! wat on earth do we do during the 6hrs rite... i shall be kind and enlighten u =)

the wk-ly routine of my amusing lab grp mates:

1) play with roller-chairs and try to roll themselves ard the lab with both feet not touching the ground (ALL of them!)
2) grumbling about their immense hunger & start fantasizing abt food =)
3) do the 'sudoku' puzzle on some newspaper (zh & jy)
4) discuss excitedly abt some chinese/korean/jap famous movie personnel (who is unknown to me)
5) role-play titanic (anqi & zh)
6) take photos of interesting lab objects and be reli reli fascinated abt it...


there.. our soft and squishy 'cake' from filtration!
heh.. done like a pro.. =)

yeh.. i sure won't miss the disgusting lab sessions & all those lab reports!! but i gotta admit.. lab's made more bearable and enjoyable by my dearest amusing group mates.. =)

i reli hate to admit.. but the more i think.. the more i think tt it's true..

ever since my one yr disappearance from singapore..
we juz aren't that close anymore.
yeh.. noe tt we all gotta grow up..
but i still fondly think back to the days where we're still kids..
trooping happily off to shop&save to stock up on our chocolate store..
complaining while cleaning up the hamsters' cages.
bet u dun remember them anymore.

we used to stay up and chat till the wee hrs of the nite..
our topics of conversation neverending.
yet now.. i'm only thought of..
whenever u require my help in something..
get a letter from the gip office..
an sms to buy the printer ink..
a request to help refill the printer ink.
is there nothing more to us now than the PRINTER INK???!!

being labelled 'boring' coz i simply haf tons of hw, tests and projects to complete when i'm home and so i dun haf the time to sit in on ur 'laze around' sessions.
not being as 'pee-goos' obsessed means i shall be excluded from all the 'pee-goos' jokes and stories.
saying tt i dun like to run @ the treadmill once translates to being excluded from all the 'hamster place' outings.
a cheerful greeting returned with a simple nod.
no happy faces. no excitement. no laughter.
when i'm home.

someone tell me pls.. isn't there more to being a sister than this???
isn't there more to being a sister than a necessity kit??

sometimes.. i can't help but feel so easily dispensible.. that if i were to disappear again for another one yr.. no one at home wld notice the difference. maybe except my parents perhaps.

a home simply isn't that much like a home anymore.
