cuapcuap: sg checklist

i had a real faboulous weekend, thanks to yuven gita david dipta yovi evelyn jessica ((:

anyway, on friday we (me yuven gita david dipta yovi) went to clarke quay, ate jap food @ watami then we went to a morrocan cafe to hav a drink. hmm.. my drink was quite nice (lychee martini), but yovi's (i love you you love me) n dipta's (sex on the becah) were nicer. hoho. and we went karaoke after that. for 6 straight hour. geezz.. i would never imagine karaoke-ing for 6 whole hours, from 12-6 AM some more. wakakaka..

so i think i can checked two things on my sg checklist. haha.. oh well, actually i nvr really have a proper list. but then last weekend inspired me. so, i'll just make one. haha.

1. bicycle at east coast!!
2. science centre..
yes.. haven't been there even tho i have 2 friends part timing there. haha.
3. carl's junior..
maybe later.. if i can be 'singset'. wakakaka :p
4. universal studio..
dunno play wat since i'm not that keen on theme park normally. let's see..
5. xiao long bao buffet!!
it's just.. everyone is talking about this, and it seemed that i'm the only one who never tried this. ahhaha.

ok lah.. i think i can't think of anything else now.. hmm.. sg is so small laa.. hahaha. idea idea?? anything i missed? lol.

cuapcuap: quick update

okayy... my weekend was unexpectedly not bad. in fact, i enjoyed it a lot. haha. went out on saturday night to clarke quay.. watched fireworks, talked, walked, took picture, drank, talked, walked.. in short.. it's quite nice. hoho.

then.. fyp. got TONS of works to do. my prof wants us to submit a paper which due 15 febs. soo.. we got to work FASTTT!!!

thenn.. job hunting. my friend said it was like 2 modules worth. indeed it is. i feel like i have 2 fyps. GG. haha. omg omg.. and interview sure made me panic panic panic panic all the time. omg omg. yess.. got another interview coming next monday. and i'm super panic at this time. geezzzz.. i need obat penenang pleassee.. omg. seriously i feel like i'm so high at this moment. aaaa.. lack of sleep + interview invitation + too much online tests + latinorobics n kickboxing effect.

then then... ohh.. humm.. exercise!! yes. somehow i am more convinced that exercise can make people happier. seriously. ahahaha. i heard it from legally blonde 2. and i tried to google it as well. haha. yes yes.. i think it's quite true.

okay.. i think that's all. zzzz... omg. i just blogged since i thought it would make me less high. but i think i'm still high. duh. i should really sleep i guess. errr.. k. nite peepss..

cuapcuap: the big question..

i was supposed to prepare my interview seriously this evening when i was distracted by this and this. haha.

anyway.. i was much more distracted by the facebook module blog compared to the new iPad actually. maybe due to my kaypo nature, i somehow like to read people's blog. and i did think that the facebook prof wrote interesting point of view about life in his blog.

i'll take one example that intrigue me....

One of the key concerns I got when I spoke with the parents was "is there a career if my son/daughter chooses Computer Science? Will the starting pay be less than the other professions?"

I looked at them in the eye and told them, "if your son/daughter does well in WHATEVER course he/she chooses to study whether at NUS or NTU, he/she will probably find a decent job; if he/she does poorly, probably NO course will guarantee a job. So have your son/daughter pick a course, he/she thinks he likes. This maximizes the probability that he/she will do well. Simple as that."

MOE needs to educate not only our children, but the parents. :-)

This is my charge to my students: school is overrated. Life is *real* (and often very harsh). Take some effort to understand how the world around you works and think. Apply common sense. It takes some effort, but it's not that hard.

okay.. one more example to support.. haha

People are different and few are truly 'all rounded'.

To expect our students to conform to the mould of an 'all rounder' model student is like expecting Singapore women to diet till they all look like Ally McBeal: It is self-defeating and pointless, unless what we want is a whole generation of mediocre students.

We have to let a thousand flowers bloom. Then perhaps a garden might grow on our doorstep.

okay.. so my point is.. i'm intrigue on his view of a well-rounded person. he did not believe of well-rounded person. instead, he believe in focussing on developing one's strength. and that reminded me of myself in high school, who always believe in that thing. exactly the reason why i don't bother to put that much effort in studying social studies, religion, or indonesian language which i don't like.

but now.. somehow it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. somehow i don't really know what am i good at. and i somehow lose my direction. i don't even know for sure what is an ideal job for me. *ok.. i should blame myself for never taken any internship.. bleahh* well, i won't say that i lose all my self-confident and i feel worthless. no, i don't. deep inside, somehow i still have that dream to be successful in doing 'something'. to get paid for something that i love doing. hmmm.. but the big problem is.. what's that thing?

big problem ryt? haha. currently, i may have this and that plan to take this course or that course or work in this industry and not wanting to do that kind of work.. but truly, i don't think i have found 'the one' for me. and reading that blog makes me more motivated to find one for me. hmmm... let's just hope i got lucky in my job-hunting process and found one ideal job. still got hope ryt? hoho ;)

cuapcuap: 2009

la la la.. ga bisa bobo nii dr td. dah.. jdnya ya uda d.. drpd bete d tempat tidur.. td baru slesain job application then ya skrg.. blogging d. pelarian. hoho.

and i want to highlight my 2009. i think *at least so far* i should highlight 2009 since it's quite an important year for me. so.. let's see what happened in 2009.

hmm.. 21!! yes.. it's the year where i turned 21. is it special? not really. but i just can't help wondering how does everyone else feelin about being 21. i remembered that when i was younger before, i always thought of those older *20 or above* as an adult, and they have their own world that i can never imagine. and the fact that i am 21 now but still not feeling like an adult or being in a different world are just.. uhmm... weird? haha.

2009.. i think the theme of my 2009 is about dream and ambition. haha. okay.. u may found it weird, but actually, usually i've always been an easy-go-lucky kind of person before and only in this year have i ever thought about having a dream. and feeling weird when i don't feel to have one before. and in this year too that i ever wanted to have one to motivate my days. so in the end i decided to try to have one; and indeed motivate my life more i guess. haha. anyway, in the process of it, i realize that it's not easy to have one. it may make my days more 'lively', it may motivate me to wake up in the morning. but it's not nice at all when i found urself failing on something that i really focus on. it made me having insomnia at times. haha. but i don't think i regret learning to dream though ;) haha.

and it's also the year where i spent a lot of my times with my loved ones. really. despite being final year and all.. i really feel that *especially the last semester* i spared more time for my friends and family this year. maybe because i chose the 'right' modules. or maybe because i quit CCA. or maybe because i was too slack with my FYP. or maybe because i just chose to prioritize those people over my works. haha. i dunno the answer. but i know that i'm glad that i have spent more times with them last semester :)

another lesson learned in 2009 is saying no. indeed i said no to some of the things that i've been doing half-heartedly before. and trust me.. saying no is not that easy. and i still need to learn more about it. haha. anyway, glad that i've been through that.

more random facts about 2009:
1. the girls i used to play with are graduated. literally all, except me. haha
2. made new friends :)
3. had more time to exercise. and i think now i quite believe that exercise makes u happier :p
4. i called my mom more frequently
5. ohh.. i learned korean!! finally. haha. and it's super fun!! can't wait for korean 2 to start ;)
6. rejection letters. of course i should i highlight this. haha :P
7. job hunting. two words is enough to describe i think.
8. nyinyaa.. haha. this is the super cute baby *not anymore though :(* in youtube that i really liked to watch over and over again :p
9. had more time to watch movie series online =D
10. learned to use eye liner. thanks to job hunting. hahaha :p

ok.. i think that wraps my 2009 highlight. oh.. and fyi.. i ended up ending my 2009 with.. SLEEPING :P yup yup.. i slept at i think around 10-11 PM on the new year's eve. in my cousin's place. they're not sleeping. it's just me. too sleepy to wait for the 2010 to come :p

cuapcuap: holiday plan revisited ;)

yes yes.. i officially ended my holiday. so sad :(

anw.. it's my last semester!! ermm.. not too excited about it actually since i haven't gotten any job. but anyway, trying to not worry much about it for now ;)

sooo... instead of worrying, let's just revisit my holiday plan.. hoho..

let's see let's see.. there are 5 things in the list

Baking Cheesecake
hmm.. i didn't manage to do this one again.. haha. why? cause there are too many cakes already in my house. and because i ate too much cakes and sweets and ice creams.. and i feel so guilty already. so, in the end, i decided not to bake a cheesecake. maybe next time. :p

Baking/Cooking New Food
i did i did! i made chocolate chips cookies, chicken parmigiana and quiche lorraine. :D
the chocolate chips cookies was nicee!! guilty pleasure. hoho. was still not as good as the famous amos one though.. but still.. since it's chocolate, u can't go wrong with it ;) it's kinda soft in the inside, but i actually prefer a crisp cookies like the famous amos. haha. should try different recipe next time.
the chicken parmigiana.. was also nice. and it's really fun cause i cooked together with my cousin that time. oh.. and we also cooked coleslaw and cream of mushroom soup that day for our dinner. yuummm!! :P it's quite simple actually. and i think it's one of the recipe that can't go wrong as well ;)
then.. the quiche. not a success. i just don't like the textures. too much eggs i think. and i think they shouldn't use shortcrust pastry.. should find different recipe for it. oh well.. at least the shortcrust pastry recipe works well ;)

apart from the new food, i did cook some of my family's all-time-favorites, lapis legit, ontbijtkoek, cream of asparagus soup, sosijsbrood :D

Not Gaining Weight
failed. haha.. i gained 1. christmas n new year is not the best time to do diet. haha. high sugar and fat intakes. iga penyet, oma's galantin, singkong goreng, cold stone, sour sally.. and the list goes on and on and on.. ohh.. and i'm soooo happy to taste indonesian sambel.. haha. sambel ijo, sambel for the sotos, sambel for the iga penyet.. heavenly. see.. i have a valid reason for gaining some weight. i think 1 is quite reasonable ryt? haha *excuse, excuse.. lol*

Exercise
can you guess whether it's a failure or not? haha.
nooo.. i'm not failing this one. haha. despite my 1 kg weight gain, i actually exercise quite frequently at home.. especially in the first 2 weeks +.. went swimming and practice freestyle like almost everyday in the first 2 weeks. i think my freestyle is better now.. well, it's not perfect yet though.. still need more practice ;)

FYP
ermm.. i think it's quite clear. i failed this one. haha. i only did very little back home.


so.. that's my holiday. i really had a great, great time back home. sleepover with my cousins @ my grandma's, went to the malls and did some shopping, watched movies (sherlock, alvin, princess and the frog), met my high school friends, ate homecooked food, slept in my own room, family gathering, etc etc. AWESOME!! :D

too bad it's over now. haha. so.. back to reality now.. crossing fingers that my school year would end nicely :)

cuapcuap: holiday project!! ;)
