I Shouldn't be Alive

I just watched the first episode of the above Discovery Channel documentary. 很震撼.

It's all just about survival. I can barely imagine the psychological trauma, the physical pain, watching your friend lose their mind and die... And how the survivors cry when they recount those days and are thankful of each single day.

It's good to be alive.

感叹。。。

好闷。不想revise。went to a talk by Professor Jocelyn Bell just now. Saw a lot of secondary sch and jc students. Made me feel sooo old. Made me long for the past. 好讨厌现在,好怀念过去。

and so I went to visit my school websites. RV 的感觉非常陌生。can't remember how the layout was like in the past, just feel that the current one is verey different. 想在网站找一些可以怀旧的东西,但都是一些achievements and links that require you to log in. Makes you feel very excluded. Bleh. 网站上的照片尽是一些没见过的面孔。Feel very detached from RV, and that makes me feel sad. I dunno, the school building's gone, my teachers are mostly gone, girls are allowed to keep their hair long, the school's gone ip... Really miss those good old days...

NJ's site is mostly still the same. maybe because I graduated more often??? Sadz cannot log into KM anymore..haha can't remember how it looks like.. Anyway this has more to explore than RV's. I went to the staff list and looked through every single staff. 有些人没看过(应该是新人吧),有些没有教过我但有见过..nevertheless felt a surge in feelings when I see their pictures.. Sigh what a short time I'd spent in NJ... “陈建彬”,“辉哥”,mrs khoo (somehow i'm reminded of copying bio spa answers in the lab... scary) , mrs teai (those days as physics rep), alvin leong, mr chee ( I rmb he taught maclaurin series and one maths s session with the vampire-looking female teacher..come to think of it I didn't see her picture on the site..maybe she's left?) , om mr tan (those days when ming shu andi had to look for him for CL matters..bleh), Ms Phua (haha always shunning her although my attire was perfectly fine..those horrible tales they told during orientation), Mr Simon Tan, Mr Song, Mr Lee (won't forget the day xiao wei and I skipped maths lecture and met him in the library :P), Mr Tan Wei (not much impression, he had a nice bike?), Mrs Cheng (haha...), Mr Wee (form teacher.. his wide and cheeky(?) grin), Mdm Woon...

光阴一去不复返啊!

P.S. Today is 29Feb. Once every four years whoa..

Ancient Greek artifacts on display in Singapore!!!!!!

I went to the National Museum of Singapore yesterday with my mom and aunts to visit the Greek exhibits!!! So exciting.. Think I've been there before when I was in primary school, but nevertheless I couldn't remember the route there..So paiseh had to ask around (ask a foreigner somemore..bleh) We saw Mark Lee and Vivian Lai at the entrance. Haha didn't dare to go say hi..felt so weird.

This is the ticket-puncher used in the past.. this was in the history gallery.. we visited this before hitting the basement for the greek exhibits


This is a funeral lion..




Don't feel very satisfied cos I was rushing..cos the adults walked one round and they were done. When I was still at the first few exhibits. Sigh. And we were all hungry... I felt that something was lacking.. Later then I realised there were no paintings, which I were expecting.

For more pictures, visit http://picasaweb.google.com/tintin.snowy88/NationalMuseumOfSingapore I really took a lot of pictures =)

Was feeling really bored..got distracted from the phy chem webcast, so I began searching online for tattoo designs.

This one looks pretty cool...



...but not on my hand. Looks horizontally squashed... Bleh :P




Saw this poem quoted on someone's blog..Think it's really cool, albeit sorrowful...

枯眼望遥山隔水,往来曾见几心知
壶空怕酌一杯酒,笔下难成合韵诗
途路阻人离别久,讯音无雁寄回迟
孤灯夜守长寥寂,夫忆妻兮父忆儿

儿忆父兮妻忆夫,寂寥长守夜灯孤
迟回寄雁无音讯,久别离人阻路途
诗韵合成难下笔,酒杯一酌怕空壶
知心几见曾来往,水隔山遥望眼枯

disgusting lab partner

this is soooooo irritating.

my lsm lab partner (bleh) magically dropped the vial of TOXIC dye she was holding onto the ground and the dye got on my shoes and jeans. and somehow it missed her.

she didn't apologise. she didn't help to clean the mess on the floor. she just stood there.

and (i know this sounds petty, but whatever) she keeps using my correction tape, eraser w/o even asking. it's nothing much, but it pisses me off.

hate her, hate her, hate her.

hope Coomassie brilliant blue isn't very toxic...

CNY lunch at woonz's house

难得 we finally managed to meet up! =) i was sort of reluctant to go cos it's sunday and i usually return to hall on sundays but i think if i dun go then the next time we meet will be..hmm..in may?
anyway 兜了一大圈,after walking to 2 wrong bus-stops we finally made it to Woon Ling's house. Had a very full lunch (fondue--dunno how to spell--and steamboat) and then we played some cards. indian poker and power99, i think.. the penalty was to drink cups of water, which wasn't too bad, i guess. DUnno if it's luck or what, but my cup was dry when they decided to switch to monopoly. Which I won ^_^ hahaha... all thanks to woon ling who encouraged me to build the hotels....

CNY movie marathon

The Time Machine (watching for the second time..)
Über-Morlock: We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams.

《我家有只河东狮》(second time i'm watching this too...and at 1 am too..bleh)
陈季常:老婆,你会不会打我啊?

柳月娥:我为什么要打你啊?你又没有做错事,如果我真是要打你的话,那一定是你做错了事。

陈季常:那请问一下做错事的定义究竟有多广呢?

柳月娥:哦,很简单,那就是……从现在开始,你只能疼我一个,宠坏我,不能骗我,答应我的每一件事情都要做到,对我讲的每一句话都要真心,不许欺负我、骂我,要相信我,别人欺负我你要在第一时间出来帮我;我开心你就要陪着我开心,我不开心你也要哄我开心,永远都要觉得我是最漂亮的,发梦都要见到我,在你心里面只有我,就是如此而已……
