Back for another update. Let me see where to begin...

Sunday

Selling porridge as usual. An aunty came and asked this question: "this one is your mother ah?" So this led me to conclude that one of these two hypothesis is true...

1st: I look old and my ah ma look young.

2nd: My ah ma look old, and I look even older.

Either way, the conclusion is I still look older (for some reasons) and instead of been called xiao jie in the past, now... uncle. I remember one aunty say this: "Lai baby (her toddler), give uncle the money". Zzz... didn't know when I "upgrade" from xiao jie in the past to uncle. Well, of course there's still those that call me xiao di, lol... maybe I'm been a bit pessimistic?

Anyway, met up with James, Pei Ying and Yuan Ling to have KFC. Zzz... so filling... after that, walked around and headed to Yuan Ling's house to slack and here's one of the picture that we took with her lappy:

Monday

School day... 2 hours as usual... this semester have been rather slacky and I was wondering if this will be a good time to pull up my GPA... Hmmm...

Anyway, today is the birthday of my favourite singers; Patti LaBelle. 66 years of age and still going strong. Woohoo~

Here's a video of her singing "New Day" at vh1 soul in 2004:

Come to think of it... she's only a few years younger than my ah ma. Hahaha~

Tuesday

School was great. Shaun taught me how to play english chess during the break and I think I manage to master the basics; like movement and some stuff (Hope it will stay there in my head).

Time flies when you play chess... or should I say when you focus. It been hard for me to focus after learning to be abit more aware of the surrounding... guess there's still a long way for me to go then.

Got back my report and was surprised that I managed to get an A. Haha, it's been such a long time since I got A for something I think... the last one I remember was like getting A for Food Culture back in year 1?

Nevertheless, it's also a kind of encouragement for me to not slack through the semester and getting average results, not to mention writing a better report. Jiayou jiayou oh~

Did I mentioned that I was kinda having a flashback yesterday night? Long story to say... but still manage to get enough sleep for today.

Oh! One thing... have you ever met someone who will knock on your door early in the morning to wake you up just to ask you to help her hook her bracelet on? That someone is my aunt. She's back from her trip to the US and I'm missing the peace and quietness of the house (for the past 2 weeks) already.

Having a hard time to falling asleep with the air-con humming away (external factor, cannot control)... I even have to off my fan to get it quiet enough to fall asleep. Weird me...

Here's a nice oldies (with meaningful lyrics) by Diana Ross titled "Missing You":

Since you've been away

I've been down and lonely

Since you've been away

I've been thinking of you

Trying to understand

The reason you left me

What were you going through?

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

As I look around

I see things that remind me

Just to see you smile

Made my heart fill with joy

I'll still recall

All those dreams we shared together

Where did you run to, boy

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Sometimes I've wondered

I didn't understand

Just where you were trying to go

Only you knew the plan

And I tried to be there

But you wouldn't let me in

But now you've gone away, boy

I feel so broken-hearted

I knew the day we started

That we were meant to be

If only you'd let me

I've cried so many tears

Gotta face now all my fears

We let time slip away

There was so much you gave me

To my heart

To my soul

There was so much of your dreams

That were never told

You had so much hope

For a brighter day

Why were you my flower

Plucked away

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh Ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

There goes the e-learning week, did not much but slacked at home. On Wednesday, I decided to go to the library which the intention of borrowing some books... but ended up with bags of stuff that I bought in NTUC.

Here's just 2 of them:

      

Woo~ by far, the best facial wash I used!

Used this before and it smells really nice

Oh my gosh, buying the gatsby facial wash is like striking lottery for me (exaggerated). Been using it for a couple of days now and my "oil mine" is pretty much under control. (OS: Heng ah, never buy the weird brand the promoter aunty recommended) At least there's no a whole lot of shine on my face now and it's not that oily as it used to feel. But I think the real test will be tomorrow... porridge selling day.

Met up with James on Thursday for lunch-cum-dinner at bubble-tea shop. After that hang out for awhile and we agreed to go running after his tuition. Lo and behold, he called me (because no one was at home, lol~) and we headed to my house for me to change.

Did I mention that recently there is this uncle (relative I think) that came to my house and I've never met him before? Thinking of this... I wonder how many more relatives I have that I have not met? Well... I'm pretty sure there's some at China (海南岛, I think) and Malaysia. Hmmm...

Anyway, we ran from Potong Pasir to Kovan but I started walking there around half way (must be all the oily stuff that I've eaten for this past few days) since my chest was feeling some pain. Zzz... must eat more healthy stuff to "unclog" all this oil liao. Haha~

We took "short-cut" home and ended up at Lor Chuan -.-''' before walking the 157 route back to TPY. Did some sit-ups and cramp is the only word I can used to describe how I feel after doing it, lol~

As for Friday, I stayed at home for the whole day and the uncle came again. Zzz... so as usual, I hid inside my shelter and ate almost half a big tub of yoghurt and finished my 2 packs of Nutrisoy throughout the evening and I feel like fermentation is happening in my stomach... not a good feeling... to say the least.

It's 2.36am now, time to sleep. Have to wake up in less than 5 hours time.

Goodnight people~

Having a hard time falling asleep...

One of my favourite rendition of this song... "If Only You Knew". Awesome vibes even at the age of 66!

Been slightly more than a week since I last updated... let me see what can I say... school days have been good... talked a little with Shaun and Fiona on different day. It was enjoyable and I think that maybe I should open up more towards other... maybe be a lil' less defensive?

Today is the start of the e-learning week... and the only e-things I done is looking for directories, lol~ Went to school today and printed some stuff for Pei Ying. The stay wasn't long and I headed to Little India (which I never been there before) after the printing. Well, to be honest, didn't expect all this travelling and exploring could be so interesting. I remember myself counting each stop to make sure I didn't overshot and straining my eyes to see if 56 is on the signboard if the bus didn't stop, lol~ Even though Singapore is a relatively small country... there's still some many places that I've never been to before... wonder what have I been missing out. Maybe it's time for me to do more exploring ya?

Guess that the rest of the week will be used to finish the assignments and report. Maybe a trip to the library too? This video is from the stage play titled "Madea goes to jail" and since it can't be embedded you can just click here to access it... nice string of medley... these peeps can sure sing.

I guess that's all for now...

Till then~

I been reading quite a bit of manga nowadays; Naruto, 1/2 Prince and the latest one, Hakoiri Devil Princess which I started just yesterday night and managed to finish catching up. All I can do now is play the waiting game.

Today was kinda normal... slacked at home and not been very productive. Met up with James in the evening for jogging and from that, I can conclude... I prefer running in the night. Lol. The weather was kinda hot for me and my head is like heated up in the middle of the run. Walked around J8 and I feel that it kinda of nothing to walk... hmmm...

On the way back home, saw some bangla worker which looks so happy after they finished their work and were heading to their transport. This lead me through a string of thoughts and it makes me wonder why am I not as happy as them. I'll need to figure this out...

Anyway, let's not side-track... went home, bathed and met up with Pei Ying for dinner (guess the ice milk tea kept me full). Haven been having the kind of appetite that I had before the school reopens... maybe it's a good thing, lol~ Let's compare some photos of me, past and present:

Only one conclusion can be made: I'm getting fatter, time to slim down! Hahaha~

Hi, back again to do some blogging since I'm kinda free... 

Let me see... this few days is quite interesting, continued to fine-tune the mixture for my fried fish fillet... but something seems to be missing (or I didn't marinate it long enough?). Here's a picture of it:

Hmmm, what can I say about this method of frying... it got it's pros and cons... Lol, elaborating on it will be too Zzz... Hahaha~

Been eating some good stuff lately, Suki Sushi @ KBP. Zzz... the chicken katsu don I ordered is like -.-''' They should have put a asterisk and labelled somewhere that the actually product varies from the image or something. Shouldn't the egg be all over the chicken with the onion and stuff? I don't recall ordering chicken with omelette rice -.-'''

School is still the same, and finally some report to do! Lol, so long never write a report, somehow I kinda miss writing a report, hahaha~

Walked home from school today... hmmm, had this weird experience where the dark clouds were kinda "sending" me home... and the never-reaching bright clouds that's ahead of me. Lol, kinda got fooled thinking I'm reaching the "bright" side soon but all the while I'm underneath the dark clouds.

Oh! This reminds me of something... I remember Shaun saying he saw someone behind me when we were waiting for the practical... but that's no one behind me -.-''' He must be imagining things >.< (He's going to kill me if he saw this). Practical session is FUN, maybe it's time to take my old phone out and start taking some picture.

Off day tomorrow! Maybe I'll start on the report or something.

Till then~

2nd week of school... what can I say... slowly, I'm adapting to the way of life in school. Zzz... initially, I would be going to school for 3 days next week (wednesday and thursday free), but... Dr. Guo decided to have a lecture on wednesday afternoon. So I guess I'm still left with some "spare" time which I can put into good use.

Friday

3 hours break... somehow, I always will have a company which is a good thing. Cause usually, I won't be eating alone, at most I'll buy a packet of nuggets (which I don't do it as often as last semester) and a pink dolphin (a must). Haha, it's also a good way to save money and it also allow me to go home to cook; try out some new mixture for my fried fish fillet and getting the right amount of stuff in it... as well as, different method of frying, lol~ (Hmmm, why am I saying all this?)

Anyway, walked back home from school for 2 days... one during early afternoon and the other time was near evening. Hmmm, what can I say... felt so different... I mean the sunshine, lol, kinda hard to describe. Timing : 80 minutes. Maybe I should try setting new records? >.<

After school, met up with Kenny and gang (I think there's at least one "representative" from each MB class, lol~) to play badminton. Zzz... just don't know why, when I play single okay okay, then my double will sucks and vice versa. Lol, maybe I'm not that versatile. Barefoot is not a good idea after-all... blisters on both feet. -.-'''

Had a pretty long day, and we played till like 8 plus, 9pm? And some of us when to Mac to grab some bites before heading home.

Saturday

Woke up to find my whole body aching since I didn't do any warm-ups before playing badminton. So I was kinda feeling sore when I was helping out at my ah ma store.

Anyway, read through a few of my older post and I notice... the original intention of this blog is kinda twisted now... is it because there's viewers out there (this used to be a private blog where no one can view, haha)... so, am I trying to conserve something? I don't know... I'll review that for now.

Here's a  meaningful and nice song from Patti LaBelle titled "You Saved My Life":

Now and then, I look where I've been

Seems the good sometimes went wrong

I see in you the love that pulled me through

The love that kept me strong

You saved my life

When drowning in a lonely sea

You reached out and rescued me

You saved my life

With love you saved my life

You been there

When no one dared to care

Somehow you shield me from all harm

Oh, a guiding light in my darkest night

You, you are my shelter in the storm

You, you saved my life

When all around was sinking sand

You were there with outstretched hands

You saved my life, with love you saved my life

With nothing to gain, you bared my pain

From the start you showed me love from the heart

When all else fails, all faith in you I held

Yes, my life, my soul, I owe it to you

I owe it to you, I owe it to you

You saved my life, it took time but now I see

Your love supplies all my needs

You saved my life

I said with love you saved my life

Don't know what I'd do without you

Saved my life

Time to do some planning~
