Mood: Sofisticat
You're an adventurous soul with a bit of a romantic outlook. You're always up for new experiences that will broaden your mind. And if there's a chance to get closer to nature, then you'll be sure to dive in. When it comes to art, nothing is more impressive than high fashion. Hefty price tags are definitely worth it. You care about how you look; you make every effort to look your best. At all times. As for music, for you it's all about memories, joining in, singing along to all your favourite cheesy songs. You want some easy going low-key fun with your friends.
this personality test was one of my Media Writing module assignments =D it's interesting, not the usual Q&A. you can try it at http://youniverse.com/statement/module/PersonalityModule/New_Personality_module

do you believe in life? i think i do! so, come what may; i'm going to have fun anyways!
2. We talked about the make-up class for the lecture of Oct 7. I have to attend a conference on Oct 4th in Ohio and am unable to come back to teach. We therefore have to run a make-up lecture, and we agreed to do that before term break. LT16 has been reserved for September 13 (Saturday). Thus, I would offer two sessions: one from 11AM to 1PM, and the other from 2PM to 4PM. You are free to attend either class.Again, I apologize to ruin your weekend. But (1) this course has an extremely tight schedule and we cannot afford losing one lecture; and (2) please understand that a mid-age man is too old to take a 30-hour and 4-stop flight and teach from noon to 6pm in five hours after landing:-). Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice weekend!Best,Qiang
haha! so cute! i love my econs lecturer!
and i love CHOIR!!!! yay!
pfft because of my braces, i cannot go to the gathering tomorrow!! been talking about/planning it for ages =( i haven't seen some of the seniors, ALRIC and MS YAP in eons!!! pffft.

the day when lynn tsuz & i turned up all wearing green.
bye lynn!!! TAKE CARE! i'm sure you'll enjoy yourself there with your bubbliness of a fishball =P if you want to talk, i'm just a phone call away!
the metal rings cut my tongue every time i talk/eat/drink...how did all my friends who have gotten braces survive almost entirely unscathed? i've never been so aware of the movements of my tongue, and i kept laughing at myself because i sound retarded =P ya ya, tsu ern, keep mocking me!!!! wait till i......um....see your new hairstyle!! =P
oh and i bought CLEO simply because the lovely Blake Lively (hey it rhymes!) was the cover girl!!! final verdict- VOGUE and Seventeen are still better for their own reasons. but they didn't feature BL! only good thing about the mag --> the following soundbites:
Sarah Jessica Parker - I don't judge others. I say, if you feel good with what you're doing, let your freak flag fly.
i hold this viewpoint about certain things i've been seeing/hearing...i think there is no need to judge others or to hate with passion, because what for? the world would be so boring if everyone was perfectly normal and by-the-book. unless, of course, you did something unforgivably awful to my friend.
Kate Beckinsale - I'm the worst wife in the cooking department. I've always thought you can't be good at both food and sex. You can always order the food in. I'd rather he didn't order in the sex.
hahahaha! i literally LOL-ed at this. it's such a convenient excuse =P

random musings:
the line between boring & practical is thisthin: in this spotless little island where everything is perfect, we can be so practical & efficient that we may even skip steps in important once-in-a-lifetime processes. many of us hear/experience marriages that go right past the stage of the romantic one-kneed proposal to the calm HDB applications... whatever happened to unbridled passion?

east-siders unite!!!
just came out of the shower & omg...i feel like dying on my bed! but there's a very important email from a certain someone that i have to reply to.....
choir ended early today...but early is subjective and it ended at 9 pm. while that is still okay, it takes me 2 hours to get home... but what always makes me feel better is meeting people who also live in the East!! and today i met Ling, who stays in Tampines too =D and she is likeable and funny! so...yes i'm very happy =D
oh, i've side-tracked!! i was going to blog about choir...anyways...they sing quite a lot of Latin songs so that's not so good, but i guess it improves my technical stuff. hope they sing more contemporary pieces like the one by vaughan williams =D that is our Choir Anthem!!! maybe we should design a Choir Flag too...oh i side-tracked again. what i really want to talk about is the fact that...
our conductor is NELSON KWEI!!! happy happy happy. and he came today!!! heard so much about how genius he is...and in person, he's just really friendly & witty. don't you just love to see qualities like that in people who have rose to the top of their professional circle? and i love how he manages to incorporate stiff theoretical knowledge into casual language that does not alienate non-music-learners & interests music-learned-ers at the same time. in short, ya, i really admire him!!!
oh...and Mr. Ong is bringing Amanda, Christy +++ to NUS this Saturday to receive their well-deserved awards!!! anyone is free/wants to come support them?? =DD if you do, call me & i will tell you the details.
tutorials started TODAY...and i have a 4-hour break on Monday!!! CRY.
btw, malu thing #1: i left my handphone in the tutorial room!!!!!!!! had to go back & get it...and the next tutorial had already started.! malu thing #2: i lost my EZ-link card! AGAIN! luckily this very nice aunty lent me $1 to pay the bus fare...
OK...i have to catch some sleep...waking up early tomorrow to go jogging with my favourite aunt =D i actually have time for that because wei ling and her very nice boyfriend will send me to school tomorrow!!!!
that's why i stay in singapore --> people are so nice here!! LOVE MY COUNTRY. MUAH!

good luck jlohhie!
woke up super early yesterday to send joanne loh off... (met tsuz & grace on the MRT. so qiao!)what i joined was a huuge entourage there with jloh! but jloh didn't cry =(
after that, went to GMPS with xian xian... really like her company! =p
btw, the kids really drove me crazy with all the incessant yelling & running. they seem to believe a curse will fall upon the silent & still.
what i am doing now ---> equivalent of MULTIPLE MATH IAs. seriously, im so glad i took Math HL...because it's somewhat cushioned me from the pains & frustrations of LOGIC. sometimes it takes me hours to accept notions that i realised very soon but dismiss because of trivial reasons. perhaps i'm just not a very logical person.
realised that doesn't sound logical...so maybe i just proved my point! =s
online shopping with eugene yesterday! and he showed me his wonderful t-shirt designs. have to say i'm impressed! i can't tell he's color-blind =P i have to paste a link here when i find it, simply because it's too beautiful not to share.
P.S. my 1st NUS Choir prac tomorrow! actually the 2nd, but i missed the 1st due to....some reason...hahahaha people pls don't reveal the reason it's too embarrassing!
P.P.S. I MISS SSIS CHOIR!! kerri you have to take care of our baby OK! =P

linear programming & microsoft excel
felt like i was back in IB HL MATH yesterday because i didn't understand more than 10 sentences in the entire mgmt science lecture! it was a good thing melvin crashed that lecture & we left very early =D
lucky jloh & hx didn't stay for that lecture...hahaha
it's so weird. i actually hang out with hx/jloh/grace more in singapore than in shanghai! been having quite a lot of fun with them.
gradually getting used to life here... i mean, it still feels like i'm on holiday but i'm a lot less disoriented.
and i owe that a lot to Wei Ling! so thankful to have her as my timetable buddy. it's quite coincidental that we were in the same OG, we have the same lecture timetable....and that's it for most people, but we live less than 5 blocks away from each other.! plus she is nice! so, like eugene would say, i is happy.
watching the webcast now...trying to understand what Prof. Sim is teaching...really want to give up because he is so crappy!

olympiCrazy
from my 70+ year old grandma to my 5 year old cousin.... the whole family's been crazy about the olympics! been on starhub channels 601-606 24/7. plus my timetable is so slack, i can do anything i want!
i only watch Gymnastics & Swimming. Gym because it's beautiful. Swimming because of Michael Phelps!
i really admire the U.S. Gymnasts Nastia Liukin & Shawn Johnson!!! Nastia's this beautiful graceful thing & Shawn's a real cute dynamo-fireball. both impressed the world - Nastia bagged 1 Gold, 3 Silvers and 1 Bronze. Shawn has done equally well with several Silvers and finally 1 Gold today!
Michael Phelps is, undeniably, an Olympic Miracle. not only is he the first Olympic athlete to bag 8 Golds for the whole of Olympic history, he also broke several records...and don't forget that he's also very hot!!
pity Liu Xiang. awful turn of events! always admired him because he's so talented.
the olympics can be such a cruel place. a bad fall, a 0.001 second difference...and that's it for you.
oh...and ya i did watch a bit of the Table Tennis. but it was quite obvious China was going to win, so i just kept switching to Gym! but silver is pretty darn good already right!!!! so proud of you, Team Singapore =D
and so interesting of PM Lee to postpone the English telecast... haha! very supportive!!
looking forward to Synchronised Swimming finals!!
you've been forewarned - i'm olympic crazy la!
P.S. eugenia introduced this amazing video. impressive what technology + human prodigies can produce ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXYEw6t2o_M Adidas Commercial featuring Nastia Liukin!

new shoes are hard & uncomfortable
went for Bizad Club welcome tea today... whole thing was so formal & stiff. far from what i expected...
Rotaract on the other hand was pretty good. the usual volunteer club, i think. i like that. it feels good to give.
can't wait for Choir welcome tea tomorrow!!!! =D
i miss my music.......it's the one beautiful, untouchable place where nothing can ever go wrong. because, even if it's something sad, you can just put in more chromatic chords & asymmetrical rhythm patterns...and there you go, something bad becomes something really good.
can't live without music. it's my drug, so to speak =D
been feeling a little disoriented going to lecture halls with 200-300 other people, most of whom i've never seen before....... it's now all about making new friends. that's good and refreshing.
but i miss knowing everyone's names, likes&dislikes, family & almost everything else. i miss the class size in ssis, where my smallest class was a one-on-one. i miss being somebody.
besides that, i also miss my driver & my maid.!! hahaha now...i have to take 3 hours of MRT+SBS...iron my own clothes...do my share of the housework........
expat brat no more.
transiting to an entirely unfamiliar lifestyle.
these shoes need some wearing to fit better.

haha! who said money can't buy happiness...although i've to admit it's temporal.
orientation was really fun!! and dirty!!
there was this game i can't get out of my mind.....they put plastic on a slope & poured soapy water all over it? then we were supposed to climb up!!!! like how gross hahahaha lucky me had an excuse because i had dad's birthday bash after that =D it was funny watching ppl climb up!!!!! see i'm so sadistic. =P
oh and something else really unforgettable. there was this guy in my OG who was a total sport - he donned a superman costume ! he was our clan mascot. such a sport right =D
ohoh and flag day.! my first time flagging in singapore =P some interesting stuff:

- there was this little girl who suddenly turned around & said i was pretty! hahaha she totally made my day. but it wasn't a dream because tsuz was on the phone and he heard it!!
- these crappy teenage guys asked lots of difficult questions.....and two donated cos "i find you kinda cute"
- this scary uncle said "i'm unemployed....still ask me to give. you give me lah!!!"
- there was also another scary uncle who said "my eyes are going bad already...! still ask me to give...are you going to help me cross the road? are you going to help me? if you're not, then i won't donate!"
scary people. is there a sign out there that says "bully this flagger because she's a freshie!" ???? but i think it was quite funny overall.
anyways =D my classes only start at 12 tomorrow!! =D it feels good to have such a slack timetable
