Had very long two days!Mother flew to Taiwan yesterday and felt really bad not being able to drive her to Changi Airport myself.
Told Mother i had it all prepared already,
i did lot's of homework searching the Yellow Pages and Street Directories on the exact routes to take to drive there.
But still failed to persuade Mother to let me take the wheels back from the Changi Airport.
To spare her the misery, i relented reluctantly and agreed to her taking the My-Sg taxi in.
Felt really sad sending Mother off,
Though she's only going for 3 days!
Missed her badly even though its only the 2nd day today.
Gave her a call just now and felt happy Mother sound great!
Said she has already gotten TWO big bags of fab Taiwan foodies already!
Okay. What she's doing there?
well.. For Rene Liu's concert!
i had to admit she's a real good singer who can't seem to lost her touch nor her youth.
Very versatile and down-to-earth!
True!
She would religiously interact with her fellow fans through blogging!
Visit here for her blog! PS its in chinese....
In ths era, which international artiste would be humble enough to do so?
Most have their 'managers' to do so for them in their places,
pretending to be them!
Anyway, back to me....
Went Cotton On again with dear Grace again before class!
Man! We were even almost late for class!
I got another 2 cotton long tees and another cute cotton dress!
I'm sooOO happy!
Sorry couldn't post up any pictures of them!
Mother borrowed mine for her Taiwan trip you see..!
Speaking of Mother again...........
I miss her BUCKETS!
Due to the demanding subjects, i couldn't afford to miss any of the classes...
Makan angin? No...!
Sigh
Holidays... Where art thou???

It desperately needs a new skin but haven't got the faintest idea how to go about it!
And blogger's templates is soooo limited.
*Sigh*
Poor blog.

Well, at least i got a new chatterbox for her.
But can you guys even see it???
*Sigh*
I really really need to learn more new blogging tricks.

1. Do you have secrets?Nope. But if you consider already- disclosed secrets as secrets,
then probably a few. haha
2. Would you fall in love with a boy/ girl younger than you?
I wonder if younger by months are considered as well?
Well its still reluctantly within my reasonable boundary...
But he absolutely can't be more than a year younger or more!
I find it an incest! LOL
3. What would you do with a billion dollars?
I would travel to every single corner of the world, built mansions in every beaches,
acquire companies of my top faved clothing and cosmetics brands
so that i can have all the pretty things easy within reach whenevr i want!
and......... to set up my own company!
( do i have enough for all that???)
4. Do you enjoy going to college?
Absolutely.
College life's cool.
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
i think i will if he's charming, humourous, good- looking, tall and (not necessary dark though)
............
And provided he's o the OPPOSITE sex of course!
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved by someone you love.....
7. List 5 favourite movies;
1- The Missing (A HK film)
2- The day after tomorrow
3- Sky Captain- something (sorry, i forgot the full name)
4- Glitter ( Mariah Carey's movie)
5- View form the Top (a Gwyneth Palthrow movie, pretty old movie
but very inspiring and encouraging)
8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what would you do?
I'll do what everyone else's do! Check out the other party!
Snicker and say "bad taste" if the girl's not that impressive.
Sigh and move on if the girl's not too bad.

3- My Girl OST (korean drama)
4- Cold Case
5- Stairway to Heaven (korean movie)
10. Do you have any regrets?
Yes, just like everyone else'sdo.
But most importantly is to do your best not to let the same thing happen again.
This way, i rather have regrets than not.
Otherwise, i'll never learn to learn.
11. How would you see yourself in 10 years time?
I see myself standing uberly- cool before the Almighty judge in the courts arguing cases,

Ha.
18. What are the top 5 places on your "to-go" list?
London
Venice
Rome
Korea
Paris
19. Name 3 things you would like to do but would not be able to.
Having my own concert.

(this, i require lot's of courage, dieting and gym visits! LOL)
and going for a surgery for a less rounded face!
(this sounds painful and again, needs lot's of courage and money!,
something i occasionally think, but impossible!)

why is Genius Einstein Genius??

MR EINSTEIN!!
(photo courtesy of Zhang Erning.)
I'm not talking about Mr Physics' dog name Einstein here (below), but the real one!
pictures courtesy from Flickr.com.
I came across this really interesting article about Eistein, or more accurately, Einstein's brain, and thought i should share this amazing article!
Click here for the article!
It depicts the journey on the story of Einstein brain;
how it had been believed to be removed and kept without permission by Thomas Harvey,
how almost none of the scientists at that time profess interest to study it,
how it travelled with Harvey DECADES,
as well as interests of academicians who raised so much controversial issues its enough to have one reading to total blindness, and nodding in agreement and at the same time shooking their head in denial.
See this excerpt from the article, a comment made on Diamond's research paper below:
"In light of these faults, only one conclusion emerges as incontestable: that without Einstein's name on it, Diamond's paper would have gone nowhere. Not that any paper that gives marquee status to a genius will automatically generate headlines."
I tried searching for the meaning of "Economo Method" used to preserve Einstein bite-sized pieces, as stated in the article, but to no avail.
PS Anybody who knows, tell me okay. I'm oh-so interested WHAT is that.
Ultimately after reading this article, i finally conclude that
(though it may possibly be tortoise cr*p for you, but what the h*ll. Conclusion is SUBJECTIVE okay.);
that Einstein possibly did not have 15% bigger brains as acclaimed for his horribly fantastic mathematical and spatial ability,
nor more NEURONS than I AM.
Though so, i found more sense in believing that with the lacked of Sylvian fissure (as stated in this Wikipedia article ) in that legendary brain which hence allowing more effective transmission of brain signals in his brain.
And though i'm not sure if Einstein's brain is 5 times heavier or bigger one thing for sure,
he's utterly brilliant and a genius.
Read this article here as well for the latest discovery on HOW genius he can get.
All in all, poor Einstein for having his brain cut into 200 over pieces, and
poor Harvey, who has been so tied down by Einstein brain pieces for decades.

Gossip Girl
Thursday, November 20, 2008
I didn't exactly watch this serial drama honestly..But from the reviews and synopsis i can safely guess the genre to be that very similar to Taiwanese "superstar dramas", where everything is oh-so-glamourous and so surreal.
The difference is that, being that of a Western one, it'll means having much more "liberal scenes" of course.
More smooching and more "bodily contact" or so.
Though i didn't, i know the characters pretty well.
Personally i found Leighton Meester (starring as Blair) to be much more prettier.
I really can't figure out what's the hooha over Blake Lively. Really.
Leighton Meester seems to look perfect from evey angle!
See the photos i found below!
(From left; Blake Lively, Ed Westwick,
Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford)
Yeap. I know. Ed Westwick looked pretty
squeezy in here. LOL
Personally. I dont care as long a i can see
Chace Crawford well. LOL
Blair and Chuck (below).
Utterly mesmerizing..
Above:
I think Leighton Meester pulled off bright yellow clothings very well!
It doesn't seem too much at all!
LOvely!
Me favourite picts of her!
*double thumbs up!*
Above: Some picts of Leighton's fashion
Again! Amazing pictures of her in that off-
shoulder silver dress! (Above left) Fabulous upclose pict of her!
I just love her smile!
Leighton Meester as the cover girl... (left/ right)
Some other fantastic picture of her! (Below)

And more picts to come..... ;)

So BLESSED now!!
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Thanks sOOooo much for all your concern pals..
Feeling very much better and VERY VERY BLESSED..
After not having any decent meals for more than 48 hours since Sunday morning,
i can finally start eating well and ALOT now.
Visited the Dr Ong on Monday after work and got a big fat medical bill of 51 bucks
and was officially announced that i was suffering from F.O.O.D P.O.I.S.O.N.I.N.G.
For my whole life, this was my first time.
It was REALly terrible.
Plus Doc was really toooOO kind.
I was prescribed near up to TEN kinds of medicines that i almost lost count of what i took.
Colourful indeed.
Various sizes, all kinds of shapes, and many colours!
Mother looked at them with utmost displeasure,
only holding the BIG, orange Antibiotics in high regard.
Chirped Mother, "The antibiotics are the most important! Only they can fight the viruses!"
Sounding exactly like what a seasonal mother who has a weak daughter since birth would say.
Given a medical leave yesterday
and i was determined to get well so i can start eating again.
Yeah. i keep emphasising on FOOD and EATING.
Unable to touch something i love for 2 WHOLE days is really unbearable..
So all i did yesterday was,
sleep, have my meals and take my medicines.
i repeated the same thing for 3 times yesterday.
But i guess 51 bucks was worthed it in exchange for my health.
I was really much, MUCH better after taking Doc's medicine.
Though it would leave me feeling all wobbly and weak taking it.....
To Nattie..
don't worry.. i'll do just that... i'll drink up a gallon today! LOL
To Naz...
Thanks for the concern pal.. i really appreciate it ;)...
To Ikhwan...
Chicken soup?? Nah.. if i intend to cook you, i must choose it to be according to MY taste right?
So its TOM YAM!!
since its ME who'll be enjoying it.... hehe....
and don't worry...
I will definitely not allow you to "LOSE" me..
i haven't finish settling so much scores with you yet!! LOL
To Qianru..
Thanks sooOOO much for your concern!! really had a fun time with you though was feeling terrible! haha....
THanks for being there for me....! love ya!!

Ughh
Had a pretty bad weekend
Which is really sad when i only had a LIFE when weekend comes..
Suffering from some kind of unknown illness..
I began Sunday morning with a really bad headache and an awful nauseous feeling..
I screamed for Panadols only to be lectured by Mother that i can't have it on an empty stomach.
How do i eat when i feel like throwing up??
hell, i went back to sleep for another an hour and felt slightly better.
I quilckly down some strawberry- flavoured biscuits and soda crackers, on Mother's warning to "not taking medicines on an empty stomach".
Later went out with Mother to get some groceries for home, and that's when it start to act up again.
And this time it was bad.
I had an Iced Milo, while Mother a black coffee, when she said she felt like having a little tea break..
that Iced Milo, i can bet my @$$ that its the culprit!
Probably due to the milky content, i could feel my stomach contents trying to make its way northwards!
On the way back in the car, i almost threw up but man, thank god it didn't!
Tried my very best to struggle back but my stomach wasn't persevering.
Everything just spilled out before i reach my house.
Apparently the sight of the bin (outside my house) sort of send a signal to my stomach asking it to push!
Yep the bin smelled very strongly of MILO.
After a few steps, i threw up the rest at the doorstep.
Great. how convenient.
I was only seconds away from the toilet but it just had to make everything so messy!
As a dutiful and responsible citizen,
i cleaned up what i "threw".
The mess wasn't that bad thank God.
Was mainly Milo!
Then i didn't sleep well for the whole of last night due to up to TEN counts of visits to the toilet!
Hence...
feeling very weak all over NOW...
grr...
Thought i would faint on the way to work.
I dont even know how i managed it to the office anyway.
Mother asked me to get Mdm Missy's permission to visit the doctor.
but my pride was just so important!
(when on the facts my pride just don't worth a cent at this point of time!)
Told Mother i didn't want people to think i'm such a weakling!
Mother could do nothing about me!
Anyway people rest assured.
I'll be fine!
PS Sorry for all the gory and not-so-pleasant details!
Pardon me okay..
Will make up with some better entries okay....

High School Musical 3!! Love it!
Monday, November 03, 2008
Yay! High School Musical 3!!
Grace and I cam-whoring!
Isn't she just sOOooo cuuuNNN?? LOL
Anyway we actually watched this movie last week!
It was fabulous!
but people.. SPOILER ALERT!!
The great things about it is that this 3rd sequel relates much more to grown-up teens, which there are much more romantic scenes and body expressions from the two leads.
Being a couple off-screen, they portrayed their feelings for each other very well in the movie.
Sometimes the feelings were too much that i would my hair standing at the end though. lol
Other than that, the songs were utterly great together with the scenes.
Two personal faves that had me humming away every moments now are "Can I have a Dance" and "Just wanna be with you".
You can try actually listen to the first song; (its the song that's playing in my blog now)
The boo parts are that there's no subtitles to follow along,
which would obviously be much more entertaining.
Well, i'm not so sure if its an international phenomenon, but there's definitely no subs for Singapore's Shaw Towers cinema.
Nevertheless i'm mesmerised and touched by the characters inside still..
Definitely worth watching!
For those of you who don't believe in musicals or found it childish,
perhaps you should give it a chance!
Trust me.. you won't hate it and thats for sure...
PS i think i'm even getting its dvd too.
I know. i'm bonkered. lol
