GRRRR.... results are out.

AND I WAS OUTBIDDED! BY THREE POINTS! I put 1300 points down and the winning bid was 1303. How unlucky can I get?

What to do now?

Just finished watching the last episode of 《小娘惹》。My heart feels very heavy now. Having watched the entire series I finally understood why the production team had decided to incorporate the modern scenes. It introduces the theme of finding your roots and also reveals the 身世of Xiaoqi. But I'm kinda confused about the characters, like when Xiaoqi asked Yueniang what about Granpa, Yueniang said he lived a very happylife too. Does Granpa refer to Paul or Robert? And they were offering joss sticks to Yueniang I saw an old Robert Zhang, but does that make sense? Wasn't he killed by Tianbao? At least that's what the magazine says. But it doesn't make sense for Robert Zhang to be so nice to 上香to Yueniang eh... Then when the credits rolled I noticed (dunno whether I'd seen wrongly) 章缜翔饰演“罗伯张/祖业”。祖业 is Yueniang's son...

By the way the hit counter must be faulty... How can this blog have been visited by so many people? And each time I refresh the page the number increases... crap

ok it's 12.44pm, 16 minutes away from the end of open round 1A.

The minimum bid is now 1101.

Goodness... should I go ahead?

I'd taken a look at CH2291's past year papers... Seem to differ a lot year to year. One year it was MCQ. the next it was essay. seems quite difficult.

SIGH *pulling at my hair*

WHAT TO BID?!?!

Have I mentioned how bidding sucks? I must have. Anyway it's really a torture to choose which modules to take for an indecisive person like me. Grr...

Ok so despite the CRAZY timetable I'm going to bid for SSS1207 Natural Heritage of Singapore, which means my Mondays and Thursdays are going to be filled with lectures from 10AM to 6PM with no breaks whatsoever. Hmm...

Which leaves one other module. Have been thinking of taking EC2101 Microeconomic Analysis I with Ling Jie, but the bid point is CRAZY. In round 1A we are allowed to use points from the programme account. There are 25 places for science people, and currently there are 40 people contesting. The minimum bid is 801. Is this mad or what? And it may continue to skyrocket. Those stupid people spoil market... Hate the bidding system.

I went to Hui Fen's birthday party today. Jane and her may be taking CH2291 Chinese Tradition. Hmm... honestly I haven't considered this at all. But it's super 冷门lah..last year like got 250 places and NOBODY took up the place in round 2A. Which means I can get it for 1 point. But will it be hard to score? Will I have to write essays? Sigh, I'm sooo lost...

月光爱人

我醒来睡在月光里下弦月让我想你
不想醒过来谁明白怕眼睛开你不在

爱人心 沉入海
带我去把它找回来
请爱我一万年
用心爱(爱是月光的礼物)(我等待天使的情书)(说你爱我)

我愿为了爱沉睡别醒来
永恒哪儿在不在
怪我的心放不开

北极星 带我走
别躲藏把爱找出来
我爱你每一夜我等待(等你)
我的心为了爱睡在月之海
孤单的我想念谁谁明白(我在月光下流泪)(我也在月光下沉睡)(没有后悔)
等待真心人把我吻醒(我在睡梦中一天)(也是在回忆中一年)(说你爱我)
我愿为了爱沉睡到永远

colors of the wind

You think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

Think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voicesof the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pinetrails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
To paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with all the colors of the wind

geez i'm bad at html. I'm almost driven mad just editing the colors of this blogskin. Plus I'm bad at color matching. (just look at how i dress :P)

Went for a haircut yesterday. Didn't actually want to, but my mother has been bugging me everyday about how my hair is super qiao4 and I went along with her. I had intended to trim only, but after all the 修薄ing I look like ... well it's flat on top and super 翘 at the bottom so it just looks like shit so I had to cut away the ends too, so now my hair is in a horrible state. It's back to the not-long-not-short awkward state. Bleh.

Titanic

Went to Wen Qiang's house yesterday. I was lazy to wake up early, but I was also desperate for some exercise, so I went for badminton at 10. As usual I was the only one drenched in sweat. :P

Then we went back to her house for potluck. I'd brought jelly, which I had prepared while watching "Pocahontas" the day before. hee... while waiting for the food to be ready, they decided to watch "Titanic". Didn't really want to watch it then... I mean they were talking and stuff and I would prefer to watch this tragic film alone. [Must be hard to believe that a TV nut like me is watching this blockbuster for the first time]

It was sad. Luckily I wasn't the only one crying. I think the film was shot beautifully. The panic as the ship began to be flooded; the desperation to get onto the lifeboat... Damn those rich people! Especially that Joseph Bruce Ismay. He did get the headline that he had wanted...at the expense of thousands of lives. How could they not prepare enough lifeboats? Preparing only sufficient boats for first-class passengers...crap.

An old couple holding each other close in bed, preparing for the imminent death; a mother tucking her two children in; a mother comforting her crying child, saying everything will be over soon; a group of four musicians who were asked to perform light and cheery music to alleviate the panic as everyone else were scrambling onto the lifeboats. Their dedication to music in the face of death was admirable.; a group of people gathering around Father Byles who was praying for all of them... Jack asking Rose to promise to stay alive... Jack sinking into the icy waters...

Cherie was sitting beside me and giving sceptical comments like "aiyah 演戏嘛..." ... ...

Felt sad for a long time after watching... and tired from all the crying. I went home and slept for 12 hours. Really, I slept at 12.30am and woke up 12.30pm. And my whole body is aching from playing badminton.

Read the memorable quotes from Titanic here.

and Wen Qiang flew off to Denmark yesterday. Kind of sudden...
