Here when I was about to start ranting on today's scorching hot weather,
At the very next moment... thunderstorm came immediately!

Lately, with the unpredictable weather i looked green around the gills
I fell sick from last Monday till Wednesday due to heat exhaustion

Initially it started off with headache at work and gradually,
through the night I started feeling cold,weak and felt the dizzy spells coming upon me
Guess what? Right after dinner, I vomited out my food
Ergh, it was horrendously disgusting!
I thought, after a good night rest I would feel better
Sadly no.. Headache, dizziness, nausea,
lose of appetite and muscle cramp.. name it, I had it all

I went to see the doctor, only to be prescribed with:
Painkillers, nausea and gastric relief pills
No diagnosis, not even a single precautionary advice from her at all
Doctor, at least comfort me with your sweet words laa *yearning for it* lol
Okay, perhaps a $38.00 medical bill brings an attention to me..and that is
To lead a healthy lifestyle; which is none other than to exercise regulary

Ok however I overheard the doctor mumbling
'60, ok normal' when she took my blood pressure

60? It's the lowest bp I've ever had in my life!
Usually mine is of normal, healthy range bp level 120/90
Freaky me started monitoring my bp for this past few days
My blood pressure dropped, and maintain
a hypotensive level of 70/50 since last week
Intriguingly strange, or am I worrying too much?

Nevertheless, I strongly feel that I should have a full medical check-up soon
Especially to test for my Hep-B antibodies and suspected hyperthyroid symptoms
Lately, I kept seeing Hep-B patients..maybe say 1-2 in a week?
I really should get a Hep-B antibodies booster shot!
I don't wish to fall sick, and esp to get a disease like Hep-B

Shall schedule a visit to the nearest polyclinic next Wednesday!
I shall keep my fingers crossed that I'll be in the pink of health!

哇 万岁！
4月1日来临了，3月以到此为止
在3月份我学习了些什么呢？

我认识了更多不同种类的人
有些呢我很喜欢他们，但有些呢我却不怎么喜欢了

但回头看，我便问自己了：
为何你不喜欢他人呢？
他做了些什么伤天害理的事情吗？

嗯，他没对我不好呀，他也没伤害到我
对，我为什么要不喜欢他人呢？
只是因我不喜欢他某一个行为，我就对他有反感了
我这样子太不理解他人，太不宽容了

哎呀，我也真是的！
刚刚我都说了，我们都是不同种类的人
既然大家都是不同种类的人，
那么我们个个的思想，习惯与性格当然会迥然不同呀！
要是我不能接受他们的为人，
那么我真的不适合活在这地球了！

自于检讨中...
想想看吧，他这样子和你不同
你不喜欢，那么你要怎样呢？你想改变他吗？
你希望他会和你一模一样吗？做出一样的选者或行为吗？
啊~ 我们的不同是当然的事情呀！
难道你希望大家都是一样的吗？
这样子不是太可怕了吧？！

与其讨厌他人怎么样子，就试着接收他人的不同
但要是你不满意的感觉又开始动摇时，
不如就试着把他看成是婴儿

啊？

我们人类在这宇宙上就像婴儿般似的，
在地球上努力的生存，奋斗着
我们就别再难为自己人了

你看~ 我的尿流出来了
快帮我换尿片呀！哈哈哈哈哈

自修课 终止

4月即将带给我什么生活经历与考验呢？
我真的好期待创造，体验新事物
虽然有时会感到兴奋，有时害怕
但各式各样的情绪我都得去体验，得去明白
好让我更了解自我和他人

我还有好多，好多得学习哦~ 加油啦！

人生的每一件事情就像个小测验，拿回考卷时
与其专注在于考得好或考得不好

最重要的还是从过程中思考，检讨与领悟
从对和错中学习，好让自己进步，
跨越人生精彩的下一阶段


啊~ 跌倒了 >.<



没关系，跌倒了再爬起来
*勇气加倍~感觉真好！*

Headed over to One Fullerton Starbucks with twin sister today
However it wasn't a productive day for my studies

Initially I was able to concentrate,
But when a group of MM stepped in..
I felt as though I am in a noisy,busy restaurant!
Okay, they have the freedom to make a hell lot of noise,
But my past experiences at OF Starbucks
was nothing, but of peace and serenity

Oh well, guess I wouldn't chill out there that frequently anymore
Yet another picturesque place down! What a shame! grumble















I could have studied 3 chapters today.
However, I only managed to study 1 chapter
At that very moment, when I stepped out of OF Starbucks,
I felt really guilty and displeased with myself.
Reproaching myself on my lack of concentration and discipline
However right after meeting Yingbeng, I slowly got hold of myself





Assuring myself:
Hey it's okay man, time waits for no man. I can study another day!
And since I'm meeting Yingbeng, let's have a fruitful chat together!
Yea and indeed we spent a great time chatting
It's been such a long while isn't it beng? grin
Haha,we discussed about palmistry in relation with love life
and decoding one's personality from his/her handwriting style
Shall post that CLEO magazine article for you both soon!

As for twin sis, guess she must be feeling awfully tired
Sleep well tonight joo, don't tire your body ok? =)

A new week commences tomorrow.. New life baby!

.




Turning in to bed soon!
Brrrrrrrrrh im neglecting my body wellness lately
Been a late night owl for this week,
Only sleeping at wee hours of the night..like 2am?
I so do agree that sleep deprivation really affects me on the whole!

Be it physically or mentally;
Waking up later than usual,
and even after a supposedly refreshing shower...
I still feel like a wreck. so very nutty!

At times, I felt like a zombie whereby I totally cant focus during work/studies.
My head felt as though thousand tiny, little squeesy bugs
were hugging against the wall of my already exhausted brain. poor thing!
Gosh and I used the wrong word/expression as
I mumbled between my sentences!
Even my dearest Mr. Caffeine could'nt even help me.
So what if I kept drowning myself with cups of coffee? and..still feeling drowsy?

How terrible is that!
Low performance rate!
Where's peak performace baby?
Okay I shall cut the crap and save this precious hour for some beauty sleep

Oh before I end my post, some photos for post up!













It's been a while since I last met up with MOs
I had a great time with them last night!
Oh and we caught a movie:
Confession of a Shopaholic
This movie is a MUST CATCH!
Totally outrageous Rebecca Bloomwood!
Had a good, LOUD laugh during the movie.
Who cares with the amplifiers from me, no one can see me in the dark! grins

Anyway, I sincerely enjoyed MOs' company =)
We should have such movie+dinner outing often babes!

Oooh laaa gonna wake up early tmr!
Cant wait to meet twin sis and beng tmr!
One Fullerton here we come!!! =D
TILL THEN! TATA



Milling about the crowded street, my heart yearns more for you....

It's good in a way, such that I have time for myself.
To catch a breather, and most importantly, time for self-reflections.

Looking back..
Wow I must say time flies; back then there I was,
exhilarated by the coming 2009,
boyfriend's visit to Singapore,
new job (surprisingly working for my own dentist!),
continuing of my Korean language studies.
Here I am, I'm drawing close to spending 3 full months of 2009!

Pushing the acceleration button, in a year's time,
Most probably I'll be in Seoul.
Adapting to a totally new lifestyle, culture and
values as I embark on my university life.
Just the thought of it sets me on euphoria!

However excited I am, I do caution myself..or rather
advise myself from time to time to live my daily life to the fullest.
I shouldn't live my life drowning and yearning for the past,
nor should I live life just seeking for my future to come.
No problem for me with the past.
I feel that I'm spending too much time
dreaming and living for my future.

Life is short.
I shouldn't procrastinate, pushing deadlines,
ignoring red signs, wishfully hoping for miracles.
I should live today as though it's my last.
Today is where I should spend life wisely.
Let's take actions TODAY, let's not wait for tmr, or another tmr!

Looking forward to MO's gathering/birthday celebration in the evening.

We humans aren't lonely souls when we start to care for others first before self.

우리 우정 ^^



지금 너무 피곤해서 내일 쓸 래요 그리고 도서관도 갈 거에요
저는 책을 읽기를 너무 좋아해요!! ㅋㅋㅋ

왕회 오늘 재미있죠?
행복해 알아지? ^^



听了你在广播点给我的点词与歌，我真的很感动 很欣慰
你真的很细心耶
王卉，我真的很高兴能够认识到你
你对爱情虽然很执著，但却非常的勇于去爱
我相信你未来的另一半会是个非常呵护你，体贴的男生
加油啦，我希望你真的能够幸福喔 ^^

我觉得自己真的很幸福，很幸运
自从踏入新加坡韩国学校之后，我觉得自己的生活改变了许多
韩语不单单只是个语文，文化信仰也深深的包含在内
韩语真的很有趣，很有意思

在那儿，我也认识了一群好友
大家都是快乐族群人；不会用恶毒 苛刻的话来压你
他们让我感觉到快乐，温暖
我喜欢大家一起给彼此鼓励与关怀的感觉，真的很温馨
我还有好多话想写出来.....
但我想等自己好好想了一番，感触了一番在写出来吧ㅇ.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN!

AND ESPECIALLY DURING XMAS!!!! ^^



AS WE PARTY THROUGH THE NIGHT @ MERITUS MANDARIN..



WE LIGHT UP THE CANDLES AND PRAY FOR HAPPY 2009



READY 1, 2, 3.... LET'S BLOW THE CANDLES!!

SOOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR XMAS MINI CELEB!
And hey it's gonna be soooo cute!
For we will be in our pyjamas dress code!
Joojoo and Bengbeng, let's discuss our plans & activities for this
very-anticipated day on our morning breakies next monday ok?

Teehee, I simply love the idea of girls doing sweet, silly, girly dittos together!
WHY? Oh well here's my lil silly confession:
After watching <달콤한 나의 도시> aka My Sweet Seoul/City,
I crave for such closed, bonded friendship as similar to these 3 ladies in the story
Regular chill-outs, heart-to-heart conversation, confessions, quarrels.. etc


Look! I simply can feel the friendship between them from this picture!

GO GO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!
This is amongst all, one of my favourite drama!
Website: http://tv.sbs.co.kr/sweetseoul/

Anyway, I feel like blogging more for this particular entry
However, I wanna hit on my korean language textbook now
Geeee, so I guess I shall pretty much end my entry here

In short, Ive penned down my feelings to mom through the letter;
I felt happier, relieved, thankful, and got to know myself and mom more
The burden too, has somehow lifted away from me, bit by bit
And guess what, I broke the usual cycle!
I hugged mommy last night!!
Im going to sleep with my mom tonight ^^
Yea and we can have our heart-to-heart talks before bed again
It's just like my primary school days, I love it
So what if Ive grown up, my heart still crave and love such intimacy. Teehee!

Thanks joo...
Without confiding with you with regards to this issue,
Probably I am still entangling myself within cobwebs
I wish that you'll be blessed too, in fact you are bless all this while
Choose to believe that you are blessed, for true enough you shall be
*winks*

How comforting it is...
When I was working the next day, mom called to check on how I was doing
I was so very touched and tears just came streaming out when she said this to me:

妈妈: ''爸爸妈妈都是爱你，都是关心你的。苑齐，要开心哦！我们都爱你！''

我： ''妈妈，我也爱你...''

.


WAVING AT MZ:
YOOHOOOOOOOO ?!
when shall we catch Madagascar 2?

.
저는 유혜경 선생님하고 반 친구들은 카드를 주었어요 ^^




.
어제 저는 선생님의 이매일을 받았어요
이매일을 읽었후에..... 울었지만 많이 생각해요
저는 너무 행북해요 정말...

저는 한국어를 잘 못 해요,
그레서 저는 한국어를 열심히 공부할 거에요

내일에 한국어를 배울 거에요
2008-9년... 화이팅!

I shall challenge myself with the obstacles ahead of me
Making the impossible, POSSIBLE
부모님은.. Please believe in my passion and our love
That's my biggest hope for now, sincerly

Feel your heart, touch your soul
Spread your love and happiness to everyone around you
^^

MORE PICTURES FROM SPEECH CONTEST!!

.
After those sobbing and runny nose episode
After calming myself down, I begin to reflect upon myself..

Im feeling much better now
I did asked myself why Im feeling so upset

For from this speech:
I feel alive once again, I feel myself 'flying'
I realised how much more I love Korean Language
My heart & soul is urging me to pursue my dream right away

But reality check pulled me back
Reminding me that Im tied by my bond,
Im utterly upset, and started feeling remorseful once again
Well, Ive got no choice but to wait for that day to come
I have to be patient
I have to bear with it
I have to control my expenditure
I have to be very thrifty
$ 13 000... Fighting!

Too did I remind myself, Im still a novice in Korean Lang
Ive got a lot more to learn and study
The night after the contest,Yoo Seonsaengnim advised:
Slow & Steady, ok?

Ne! Got it!
I shall work hard on my korean language to achieve my next goal!

My 2009 goal: To pass my TOPIK Level 4!

Looking forward to my korean class this coming tues ^^

My Reflection
4th Korean Language Speech Contest

Upon receiving my 3rd prize,
Mixed emotions just ruptured within me
Though I was smiling brightly on stage,
I was actually feeling very confused and miserable
Though I saw the smiles on 유 선생님, classmates and friends
I was yearning for my boy's and dad's smile too
And for once, my entire body muscles started tearing upon me, aching lke hell;
As though it had held on to pain for a long, long time
Though I continued smiling on stage..
Deep down my heart I was crying

유 선생님, 너무 고마워요 ..
Thank you for your encouragement & guidance
throughout my speech contest preparation period
Without your help,
I doubt I can stand on stage to receive the 3rd prize
Thank you, thank you..
No matter how much thank yous,
it isnt enough to express my sincere gratitude towards you

I never thought that I would ever take part in a speech competition,
needless say to take part in a Korean speech competition
It was 유 선생님who allows me
To take my first step
To take my first stride
To muster the courage and confidence
towards giving a Korean speech with my limited knowledge & abilities

From the beginning, to the process, to the speech, to the finale
It was a very meaningful and cultivating process for me
Never in my life have I ever put in all
my best efforts & enjoyed myself at EACH STAGES
Perhaps the saying is true,
That when you have found your passion,
you will work passionately and crazily towards achieving that dream of yours

The Beginning:
Initially, the reason for participating in this contest was
primary due to monetary issues
I need the prize in exchange for money, to break my bond
Be it a LCD Monitor TV, a pair of air tickets or Home Audio Player
I can sell it, and at least earn $1000-$4000
Im sorry that I sound so desperate for money
But the fact is, I am REALLY IN NEED OF MONEY NOW
I need at least 13k to break my bond
I simply just wish to break my bond asap,
So as to get out of a job that I simply detest
I cant stand myself doing something that I dislike
It's like putting myself in jail, is that life? NO!!
The initial motive of mine in participating
in this contest was so very wrong

The Process:
It all began when I was preparing my script
that was expected to be completed within a week before the submission deadline
I wrote my script in English, and began translating them
into Korean Lang with the help of my EL-KL dictionary
Thereafter, my boy and 유 선생님helped me edit my script
Viola! I submitted my script on the very last day!!

I worked really hard on my script
Though it was a very tiring and vexing process for me
(with me flipping my dictionary non-stop to search for the right word),
I would say that it was a very fruitful experience for me
I learnt more Korean vocabulary words and grammatical forms
Together with my boy, we worked late nights together via MSN/phone calls
Him editing and explaining how those grammatical words should be structured
We slept at around 2AM+ for 3 days in a row!
유 선생님 was busy with her school work as well,
Nevertheless, she was so ever willing to help me with my script
Im really grateful for both of their help ^^

Upon submission of my script,
I worked hard on memorising my script
유 선생님 also asked me to practise my speech in class
Those practices in class were really HELPFUL!!
After each practice,
선생님 gave me pointers,
and highlight words that Ive pronounced wrongly
I took her words to heart, and worked hard to improve myself
At that point of time,
I can really feel myself morphing from an ugly ducking into one beautiful swan
And through the process, my love for Korean Lang grew tremendously
Im loving Korean Lang more and more ^^

As the contest drew closer,
My self practices increased day by day
I recited my script (be it in my mind/speaking) while Im:
- Walking
- Eating
- Showering
- Queuing
- Before Bed
I will just find every opportunity to practise on my script!

The Speech Contest Day
Guess Ive worked too hard on myself
Ive severely overlooked on the health of my voice
My throat was croaky and dry for a week
It was at it's worst on my speech contest!
My voice was weak and frail
There was also a lot of phlegm trapped in my throat
I was feeling so terrible and upset with myself

Actually, I wasnt nervous that day
I was just constantly worrying about my dry throat
Worried that I have to strain my voice while giving my speech
I drank roughly 2litres of water before my speech, trying to re-hydrate my voice
While the 3rd contestant was giving her script, I should be calm
But my throat was driving me insane
I kept drinking water, in hope that
my throat will be alright before I head up on stage
However, my throat defied against me

On stage, I gave my very best
However painful my throat was, I pushed that throbbing feeling aside
Kept smiling and reciting my script with enthusiasm
The process was very memorable
With the smiles and laughter of the judges, 유 선생님 and audiences
I gradually got happier and livelier while reciting
I really enjoyed THAT SPECIAL MOMENT
The feeling is intriguingly strange, I can feel my heart soaring up high
I was very very happy
I love to put on smiles on people
Most importanly,I love the feeling of doing something I truly love

All well that ends,
the process was indeed unforgettable
But not the ending...
I need to reflect on myself
I should learnt to see things in a positive light

They are of different issues
Why? Yuanqi, tell me why are you bringing yourself down?
You should give yourself a lil celebration, or maybe
A lil pat on your shoulder telling yourself that you did well
Why are you thinking of that bond problem all the time?
Please reflect upon yourself...

Photos Time!!

How I wish nothing is impossible...

I should be happy for myself today
Today is the day that I did something that I sincerely love
Yet,after the contest, Im back to reality again

Reality check:
Monetary burden on me is getting heavier after the contest

I seriously hate myself for signing the bond 4years ago
I want to pursue my dream, yet the bond pulls me back
I want to leave, yet I cant leave

Harsh Reality of Life;
No matter how much tears Ive shed
It isnt enough to make me feel better
Sigh...

I wish to blog about my experiences on today's contest
Yet... I cant, Im feeling too upset now

I wish to post something that I love with a happy note
Perhaps, I will feel better.. tomorrow?

.
However tired, it's something that Im willing to sacrifice for
For it's something that I find worth beyond price in my life

At least 40-50 years down,
When Ive aged;
With wrinkles, white/grayish tresses, bony-shrunken build
When I looked back;
I know Ive impress myself, and that I did myself really proud
Preseverance, this value,
it shall now be kept securely in my lil value pouch

我該如何開口像他們說呢?

是時候我該跟他們說我將來的打算了

從小我一直奋望者獨立生活方式；
我要在此迎接第2次的生活
我想離開自己的家鄉，去認識，見識另一個天邊
到時候，我知道自己已經驕傲的盛開翅膀往快樂世界去

離開家庭，親友； 說不捨，是一定的
但是我很堅持自己的想法和目標
我的決心不能，也不會被踩踏的
我覺得人生就是要多姿多彩，就像過三車似的
踴躍的朝著目標，實現我的夢想

我現在的生活方式太差勁了
但從中 至少我知道，更確定我要的生活方式了
將不會是個《鐵飯碗》的生活方式
2010 年的願望一定要實現

我希望大家也都能往開朗的方式面對生活
不要不快樂，埋怨周圍對你的不利
大家一起加油吧！
Fighting!!

SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH
DULL DULL PAIN

WHAT'S ON MY BACK?
OMG, it's my FIRST EVER acne on my back!!
What's going on? LOL

Feeling the stress signals emitting out from my body
So yea, they are channeling not only onto my face, but my back too!!!
These days, my pimples are taking their turns each to be screen on my face
Wow sound like some movie premiere preview eh? LOL
Okay fair enough, at least they are empathetic enough to not revolt together

DEAR YUANQI, WHY WHY ARE YOU SO STRESS?
1. Preparation for Korean Speech Contest
2. Tons of homework given from seonsaengnim
3. Household chores 'bestowed' to me from my mom
while she's embark on her 'embassy' trip
4. Financial plans
5. Future plans

Just 5 of these factors,
and my body is going haywire, awww Im so weak! LOL
Seriously, this korean speech contest is much more difficult than I thought so
- Learning & Understanding those new grammatical &
vocab forms that was added by seonsaengnim (Overwhelming lots!)
- Memorising a foreign text
- Grasping the correct pronounciation to sound
like a korean native, and thus speak fluently
- Overcoming stage fright, or rather presenting myself confidently on stage

I wished I can morph into one little young kid right now
Thereafter I can remember my script effortlessly!!
Alright, Im dreaming away
Wishfully hoping that my stoned brain is of kiddy spongy cells now
Woohoo! Get back to reality girl!!
Yea right, so Im gonna practise really hard on my script tonight
For tmr seonsaengnim hopes to see all the mistakes she has highlighted to me,
to be all polished up on my next class speech performance
Yeayea, now my Class Breaktime= Reciting my script to my classmates
I thought it's a really good chance for me to gradually muster up my public speaking ability
Ah pan chingu.... mianhaeyo
Sorry if my speech was ear deafening.lol
I will improve myself ^^

Oh and guess what?
I've made 2 really good friends!
AMELIA AND JOEY!
And I cant believe that Im the oldest among them!!
Call me dongsaeng pls!! hahahahaha!
Yeaaaa, looking forward to our makan session together
Credit goes to Amelia (Our super duper lucky girl),
who won numerous lucky draws lately
Now Joey and I can have free makans from you! hiak hiak hiak!
Joey UNNI, thanks for hearing me out
I thought you're so cool!
Bootlicking you! HAHAHAHAH
Why? Stefanie Sun+Adoi Choi leh! lol!

Double Oh!
Met up with mz on Sunday(and we thought it's Friday/Saturday!)
She's studying,'mugging hard' whilst Im memorising my script
We encountered numerous interruptions (grrrrr) :
- Bollywood Screening
- Hao Lian Mina Nurse
- Ah Tiong's girlfriend chatterbox
So with that, mz only managed to study 2/7 chpts,
whilst I only managed to memorise 2.5 paragraphs of my script!!
Hey gal, let's get ready zee's present on our next meet-up!

Did i mentioned? I miss Misoon Unni so much =(
It's really a shame that I cant visit her next year
Misoon Unni, you're still my A-list Seonsaengnim!! ^^

.
ON MY OH-SO UNFIT LIFESTYLE
Ive been sleeping at wee hours lately
and I am not exercising on a regular basis,
.....or should I say, I am not exercising at all
I think it's really detrimental towards my health
I should really set aside some time for
exercise during the weekends starting next month
Yea, maybe I should start off with rope-skipping and jogging
Thereafter, see me panting like a hungry puppy,
and drinking trillions litres of water like a severly dehydrated camel!

ON MY RE-EMBARKMENT ON KOREAN LANGUAGE
Started studying Korean Language at SKS in 2 October 2008
Though I have some prior learning experiences
of Korean Lang at Cambridge Institute last year,
I signed up for Elementary 1(start from scratch again) at SKS,
FOR VARIOUS REASONS:
- My last korean lesson was in Dec 2007, those vocab,
grammatical forms and structures are slowly peeling off from my brain
- Im attending at SKS, which provides more intensive coaching and practices
- A good foundation is essential for me to converse and express
myself confidently in a foreign language in the long run
- Ive not been practising, nor conversing in korean with my boyfriend
With these many reasons, how can i not be convinced to start all over again as a novice?

Mmm..so far I have attended a total of 8 lessons at SKS
Perhaps of my good grasp of Hangeul, and some
simple vocabulary and grammar knowledge
The first few lessons were a breeze, but on the other hand
Ive leant Korean Lang from another
perspective from my new teacher: 유혜경 선생님
She's knowledgeable and witty
Due to SKS well established & structured programme,
the curriculum & syllabus are carefully tailored for students,
even for busy working adults too!
Alright, perhaps for EXTREMELY BUSY WA they might find it intensive
But think about it....
Learning a foreign language undeniably requires one to 'sacrifice' time for it
You really need to discipline yourself in
committing tons of time on self-learning and practising
Most importantly, interest towards it is of most importance

MY SKS E1 ClASSMATES ARE A BUNCH OF LOVELY PEOPLE
They are from all walks of life,
Be it in their teens, 20's, 30's or even 40's
Be it their role as a student or working adult
All of us come together here as SKS student
Amelia, Cindy, Soo Yong, Nicholas, Wang Hui, Chang Hui....
Ironically, I feel that I can make real good friends amongst them
I shall introduce them with my pictures in my next blog update =)

LOOKING BACK ON MY CI'S DAYS:
장미순 선생님 taught us lots and lots of
new vocab and grammar forms for each lesson
We are learning in bulks for just one 2.5hours lesson!
We dont have adequate time to practice and revise
the new stuffs we've learnt together in class
Crash course, you know... 3in1
Nevertheless, 장미순 선생님 is very supportive and patient with us
She's the best 선생님 I ever have
I miss her soooooooooo much!
Hope she's doing great in Seoul

ON PARTICIPATING 4TH KOREAN LANG SPEECH CONTEST
Here I am a greenhorn, whom have never give a speech on stage before
Here I am a KL novice, notoriously signing up for these contest
I wonder where I got the gut to accept 유혜경 선생님's offer
to participate in this considerably major speech contest!
Luckily, Chang Hui is taking part as well
Let's practise our speech together CH!!!
Yea this is soooo crazy, but well done Yuan Qi!
Let's give it your best shot! Aza!

MY SPEECH SCRIPT IS FINALISED TODAY
Man, Ive only got 3 weeks to practise before the big day comes
Please believe in yourself,you can do it girl!
Fighting!

Well, I cant just locked myself at home right?
Being an excessive introvert is scary, it reminds me of zombie

The Outside World;
Too it's a nice place to be in
It's how we see and picture it,
and it shall be how we perceive

No more negativism gal
I want the smile, laughters, happiness
So what if there's more crow's feet?
Teeee, I would gladly accept it to have happiness

Look, im back here again after 5mths of neglecting daintyillusions

10 JUNE 2008 - 24 JUNE 2008
A COLLAGE OF OUR WONDERFUL MEMORIES

When I'm with you,eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,with each passing day

You bring a joy to my heart,I've never felt before
with each touch of your hand,I love you more and more

Whenever we say goodbye,whenever we part
I'll hold you dearly, deep inside my heart

So these seven words,I pray you hold true
I Love You, Always and Forever

.
I planned my day, a simple one;
to nestle under the blankets till i felt i had enough sleep
to have my 2 slices of toasted wholemeal bread,
with near-to-melt slice of NTUC Fairprice cheese sandwiched in between,
accompanied with my all-time fateful mate-coffee
to take a siesta in this hot, humid afternoon
to lay down on my comfy sofa reading a girlish novel
to tune in to bossa nova,jazzy music... immersing and dancing along
to caress and talk to Classy Black Stanley
before i begin teasing and tickling him, and hit those strikingly white&black keys on him
and to end my day with my family, and friends online
Simply simple life, that is enough to give off
a hint of pleasure & satisfactory on the side of my lips

But boy, it wasnt a good start today
I cajoled to get myself off my bed.
Sunshine streaked in - to me it was venomous,it's burning and tearing me apart.
It seems as though im a werewolf, in broad daylight
Where's the moonlight baby? LOL

Rewinding the tape backwards:
It's been a week since I last smsed or chat with my boy over the phone
His few months old mobile phone failed on him - pronounced dead and yet to be revive
For goodness sake, cant any technician revive his mobile?
Or get the engineers!!!!!! Me waving, here! here!
We cant see each other, like how every lovey-dovey couple does daily
I cant say that Ive totally understand our situation,
for in order to understand, it involves acceptance as well
Profound, isnt it? Yea, it gets on my nerves sometimes.
Alright, how about using maths? Give it 7:3
Out of 70% I accept the situation, ok we are far apart. But our hearts united.
Out of 30% Im simply confused, i need you boy...right now baby.
Oh well, let's just push all these thoughts aside, time to sleep......

Last night I dozed off feeling upset, and distressed
Bad dreams, forever dreaming of her giving me a hard time
How disconcerting it sounds, but damn it, she won the game
Crown her, kiss her, adorn her in that hot fuchsia evening gown
Oh i make her sound like some Miss Universe model who
brings herself around with this cliche at all times: 'OH PEACE TO ALL!'
Yea yea yea my usual PMS symptoms are back
Im wishing for once my period will to come right NOW! ROAR!

Okay,so like some hoo-haas movies with no wishful endings
I shall end my post, just like this.
I need a caffeine boost right very this moment.
So long folks! Haaaaa, what a screwed up post!



WAKE YOUR PHONE UP BOY!!!
WHEN'S OUR NEXT BREAKFAST BENG?
KEPPEL BAY TCC SOON ZEE & PIII!

.


LAUGHTERS

LONG GONE, BACK AGAIN =)

.
.

MY 21ST BIRTHDAY =)

.
No parties
No big gathering
No extravagance
No lavish expenses
No champagnes
No sparkling diamonds
No hoo-haas

It was simple
It was dear
It was joyful
It was sincere
It was exclusive
It was touching
It was heartfelt
It was heart-warming
It was yellow?

It was simply one memorable birthday
That's what I wish for
Thank you friends, for making this day possible
Im really contented, really blessed
Thank you

It was my day
Our ( Meowzhi, Yanren & I ) plan for the day:
Venue: Graze @ Rochester Park
Meeting Place: Buona Vista MRT Station
Meeting Time: 6:00 PM



So I dolled myself up for this special day
Demure, sweet and pretty … SPECIAL day what
Ah, as I still had some time before my dad drives me over to buona vista
I grabbed my phone and started cam-whoring
Wait a minute; I did that cuz I wanna send
my pictures to my boy who is 4660km away from me
Cheeze! Smile! Winks!
And my brother came knocking on my door, saying :
You've got a call! (I wondered; who will call my house number?)
It was meowzhi over the phone, asking me to open my house door
Upon opening my door, there they are, mz and yanren waiting outside!!!
GOSH! I was really surprised! It was so abrupt!
But sooooooo sweet and thoughtful of them to come all the way to my house!
Thank you guys! ^^

Mz made cupcakes for me.
First attempt for her, I would say it's really tasty
The inner fillings taste like mooncake! Unique!
Mz, it’s time for you to switch career- dont be a florist, be a baker instead
But before you close down your flower shop, gimmme all the TULIPS you have!!
ACIDIC COLORS PLEASE!
I simply adore tulips, they are gorgeously alluring!!
Oh, and Im still waiting for my boy to give me tulip
I even pleaded one from him, see how thick-skinned I can be! LOL!
Alright, back to the cupcake story
Mz & yanren sang both English and Chinese vers. birthday song for me OBEDIENTLY
haaaaaa, I even requested for Hokkien version! hiak hiak!
We did video-ed the singing session,
however my com is lousy, it cant read mp4 files
So readers, so sorry, you missed out one astonishing idol singing session

Next we headed off to Graze
My dad drove us there, thank qqqqqqqqqq daddy!!!!
Love you sooooo much,
you really treat your daughter like a princess
Really thank you soooo much, love you papa! =)

Graze, one peaceful, picturesque restaurant
Strikingly expressive, it’s like some old-style Victorian Cottage
Erm, but with the three of us around, we kinda destroy the ambience oooops
Food was edible, for I prefer Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Cuisine
Service however was great, the waitress/waiter are really polite and attentive

Though it was a great place,
I wish to try those restaurants at Dempsey Road. Anyone interested?
OH! Zebraaaaaa, thanks for the treat!
I'll get you skincare products FOC when IM in Seoul okay?
I wish for you to turn into one pretty boy soon!
Remember, cut down on oily food okay =)
As for mz, what can I thank you other than the cupcakes?
I would say; your bubbly, cheerful character
It's enough to make my day gal
Thank you, IM alive again
.

OKAY PICTURES!!

REFLECTIONS....
.
These two nights, I cried in my bed....
Not because im sad
But because im sincerely touched and grateful
To have such great friends around me
My heart let the tears out, it wasnt my brain calling the tears out
The tears just rolled down naturally when I think of my friends
You see many thank you's in this post of mine
You see....... grateful, im really grateful
I've learnt and continuing learning to be grateful....
not just for special things coming into my life
But for anything, everything that I had or have and will have in my life

Looking forward to my mini cake session with my family tonight
Sorry mommy, daddy and brother...
I've postponed the cake session with you all for 2days
Tonight, I will give my 110%
Happy Birthday to PAPA
Happy Mothers' Day to MAMA
Happy Birthday to MYSELF
Thank you BROTHER, for the cake
I bet it'll be delicious with all of your company

MOs, see you all next Saturday at Clarke Quay =)

.
Oh gosh, it's been a while since I last blog!
Seriously I really dont know where and how to start! Hiak!
MMMMMMM.... here goes:

Okay, the primary reason why Im blogging
today is solely due to my 21st birthday
Million thank qqqqqqqqqqs to all who
wished me happy birthday! Bless you all too!
Come to think of it, weeks or even days before my birthday,
I wasnt really looking forward to my 21st
DUH?! Ya true, I wasnt really ecstatic about it
WHY? cuz......geeee partly because
Im looking forward to visit my boy soon in June
Another reason being : My birthday falls on a Thursday
Everyone's working, Thursday isnt like FRIDAY. Cmon!

AND AND! Exceptional case for me;
I had a wisdom tooth op done on Tuesday
Which was 2 days before my birthday!
But oh well, the op was a breeze
For Im a brave lil woman,
I held a mirror and watched Dr Lee operate on me
I watched as he scrap/slit/sllice/cut my gums,
drill/dig/excavate my severelyimpacted wisdom tooth out.
SCARY? MMMMM..... I would say it's SIMPLY AMUSING!
For it was a pretty unsightly, bloodcurdling scene;
gruesome oogly yucky and what have you
Yet I felt zero pain! Simply amusing!
Anesthesia is amazing, honor goes to the HIM/HER who came up with Lignocaine
Oh and each of my op took at least 35minutes
(For your info : I did had a wisdom tooth op done few weeks ago as well)
Hurray! I have 2 lesser teeth to brush!!
Goodbye IMPACTED 38 & 48!!!
You both gave me nothing but trouble!

FAREWELL!!

.
Went to Queensway and Anchorpoint with May today
An incident happened.....
Some what similar to a past incident 2years ago
You're in the state of shock
You looked so helpless and feeble at that very moment
Ah ma, I'm glad we're strong enough;
To grip you tight from falling down the escalator
Hug hug for you, please be safe in future okay

Is this planned by god?
Or is it sheer coincidence?
Nonetheless, I'm glad I've somehow save another life

May....enjoy your camp!
Show me the pictures, both your d&d and camp okay?
Let's get jazzy at our next meet-up! =)

.
Met up with my cousins today
Had our dinner at Azabu Sabo
The ramen I ordered was pretty scrumptious,
Green Tea Ice cream with dumpling and red bean was yummilicious!
Nevertheless, I still prefer dining at Waraku ^^
Still wondering if I should celebrate my birthday at Waraku or somewhere else?
Hmmmm........

The Tapas Tree



Then on,we head over to The Tapas Tree
for our girly-talk accompanied with cocktails
It's one Spanish Tapas Bar which yingbeng
and I have always wish to chill together
So I'm finally here.

Great ambience
Cosy
Homely
Laid-back
Country-Style

However, the Garden Room was way too warm for us
Initially we wanted to sit at the Lounge Bar, breezy, cosy, comfy and what have you
However, it was open for diners only. Oh well..
So we settled down on those armchairs for a lil drink.
But of course, I couldnt stand the heat!
So upon request from the waitress,
they placed a portable mini aircon fan right next to our table
Thank you soooo much, you save the day! =)
Oh so each of us tried different cocktail:



Bloodly Mary:
Vodka infused with tomato juice, salt and pepper.
Initial taste - Salty?!
Next - HOT LIKE CHILLI!!
Taste of liquor? NOT AT ALL!!
The piquant taste is too overpowering!
No wonder a celery was immersed into the drink!
It's one deadly liquor which I bet Peiping will NEVER EVER ORDER AGAIN!
Midori Sour:
Melon Liquor with a hint of lemon. Refreshing! I like it =)
Spanish Fly:
Liquor content a wee bit more.
Taste of the 'ocean' is undeniably there.
Perhaps the liquor content is a lil too strong for my cousin.

Oh well, but we gals arent party queens nor night owls
So we ended our chat and left the place by 9plus.

HOME SWEET HOME!
It's time to sleep.
As usual, I'm glad I didnt put on mascara
It's a hassle, DEFINITELY when I cant wait to jump onto my bed off to slumber land.
It's also harsh on my eyes,
Reason being, I dont dab my makeup removal on my eyes for a few minutes
One minute's up, and I will be rubbing gently(provided I'm not very sleepy)
against my eye region to remove those icky black stump
BAD! ADD 2 LINES OF WRINKLES ON MY EYES REGION!! HAHA

Before I turn in for bed, here's a peek at some of the pictures we've taken today! :
.

$40+++ burnt today!!! OUCH!

Feifei, thank you for waiting for me
I know you're tired..........
good night *^^*

.





.
I cant wait for this weekend to come!! !! !!
Looking forward to dining with my cousins this Saturday
As usual, at my favourite place CLARKE QUAY *bleam bleam* ^o^
Then on, I'm gonna meet up with MAYMAY on sunday
Alrighto, just bear with this 4 working days and my weekend will be here VERY SOON!!

AH, and I cant wait for JUNE to come!! !! !!
I'm soooo gonna embrace in feifei's bearbear hug upon arriving incheon airport *^^*
yea, and we're going to hold on to each other's hand
throughout the whole ride till we reach my guesthouse
Heee in fact it's our routine, cant be help ^^
Planning to stay over S.Korea for 3weeks
Yea! We planned to travel to another region of S.Korea,
stay over at a beach resort for a few days.
Teach me how to cook, then I will cook
and take good care of you unconditionally okay?
But you must piggyback me along the beach shores and sing for me okay?
Okay you might think I'm crazy, but I told feifei that when we get married,
i will wash his feet after his hard day at work daily
Okay you might think this is even more crazy:
he wants to wash my feet as well! LOL
Love is BLIND. INDEED!

Teeeee just the thought of june, i'm smiling and grinning to myself like some silly lil' girl
I bet it will be a real sweet trip this time round

Sing me to bed every night
Soothe me with your comforting voice every night
Thank you for tolerating my temper, my stubbornness, my selfishness
Thank you...... how can i repay you?

Okay, feifei i will eat and live healthily, and not get myself sick so often okay?
I dont wish to make you worry again
Love
^^

.
The greatest regret I ever had in my life.
I most despise myself, to have taken on a pathway that I simply detest

How repentant, how regretful I sound
Yea indeed, I looked down on myself
to have landed myself in such a wretched state

To me life is of directions.
With directions,only will you have the vigor to setting goals and attaining achievements
Without direction,your life is aimless and meaningless

Now, I'm in the wrong path.
But I'm obliged to follow this path.
How pathetic...
How long can I hold on? 2 years plus more.
Easy, for I've held on for the past 4years
Forcing myself to swallow this reckless decision I’ve made back then
Let's just take it as a life lesson
Soon I'll maneuver out of this mistake, and carve out a new horizon
In future, I will learn to make decision, and choose my path carefully

Okay, but.......
why is my heart aching so much now?

Hi life
I'll be freed…..soon
Just bear with it…

New blog add-up! : Mayfen

Met up with May & Andy today
Dined at Cine's HK Cafe, it was pretty scrumptious
With good food and great company, what more can i ask for?
Oh and my yellow custard bun was morphed into some cute lil alien chap!



How's that? hahahahahaha
I should have eaten him up,
that way my stomach wouldnt be growling right now.

I felt like a tourist at orchard road.....
Thanks for bringing me around,showing me where's heeren,cine ...etc
Singapore is indeed one cosmopolitan country.
hahahahahahahahaha
Anyway....thanks guys, it was one great outing!
Let's meet up again yea. Soon alright? =)
Today is just a warm-up session.
Let's get really high the next time we meet up yea?

May ah may, i can accompany you for shopping and hairdo!
Beep me anytime yea? hehehe
Argh, dont tempt me to dye my hair BLACK!!
As for Mr. skinny, he is still soooooooooo skinny.
Okay okay, I can see a few chunk of muscles.
Ermhum, not bad not bad.
Keep roaring, and your muscles will burst out in no time!

Time flies
Reminiscing those days...which was two years ago
Part-time job as a retail assistant
At Far East / Heeren on every weekends
Got to know may & andy
It was fun, exhilarating and wacky-o-o-crazy working with maymay
The sound of those shutting gates from her shop:
UNCOUNTABLE & FOR GOONESS SAKE...SNARLING LOUD!! HAHA
Recalling the first time we met each other, our first gift exchange:
She walked into my shop and gave me chocolate chip cookies,
whilst I gave her wrigleys chewing gum in exchange
So was that some getting-to-know-you GIFT? heee
With each other's company, our working days werent bored at all
Oh and did i mention,
There's this really cute guy working at Queen's Couture that totally melts my heart
He's skinny, hair is flurry curly & fair-skinned
MY IDEAL BOYFRIEND LOOK!
Every day before we start working,
maymay will accompany me down to goooo-goo-yaa-ya over him
okay, not close range.. but 6metres away? lol
As for Andy, his butt is always kissing the chair
But his hip & butt size remains as X-small.
*whine* UNFAIR!
mmm... Really treasure my friendship with these two guys

Randomness:
I miss student life
when can i hit the books again?

Okay another one:
I am really mad
Im actually thinking of giving up my love for the sake of my studies & career

I am really mad..
okay last night I was mad
Now? I dont know?
But I wish for a listening ear from you
Yet you tell me you wanna sleep
Okay, happy snow boarding, happy skiing and off you go to bed
uh? Im still mad with you?
okay........ I will be fine few days later

What time is it now? 1:30AM
Why arent I sleeping?
For I'm feeling down....so down
But you dont seem to know that
Oh well.......

My mind is whirling
Totally messed up...

yingbeng, i wonder if you'll get to read my post in taiwan.
Anyway, do enjoy your trip yea.
For now that we're working, holidays dont come by easily.
Oh dont forget: Bring back PUDDING for me!!! LOL

.
+WARNING!: EMO POST+
just lemme release out my emotions,
then on i'll feel better =)

I miss my boy so much...
My eyes were really red & sore when I woke up this morning
DRY.. EXTREMELY DRY
They were on the verge of TEARING UP when we arrived at the airport today
My body was weak and frail as well
GOODNESS! THE-CANNOT-TAHAN-HEAT ME~BUT-LOVE-COLD-COLD-ME
Ended up shivering in the 23.7degrees celsius airport!!!
My aching heart surrendered to the NOT AT ALL COLD TEMPERATURE!!!
*shrugged* I guess my strength immunity shield decided to take mc today.
Awww.....Tsktsktsk... Poor thing..

Last night, I was awfully upset as well , I cried terribly ooops
In fact, I cried for hours when I sent you off at the aiport today
You called few minutes ago, and I cried.. ya AGAIN
Uncontrolled tears, ached & throbbing my heart was
Yet it's comforting to cry in your warm arms,
with you patting my head and wiping my tears away
It soothed and calmed me to bed.

However, it feels great to be able to cry again..
Duh?! Startling?
Ya....... I couldnt cry out my sorrows for the past few years.
Those periods were awful, I wanted to cry yet my tears are desert dry!
Thanks chan, now i can cry.
All thanks to you ,hahahah!
Love is amazing. Indeed.

Nostalgic
Looking at my brother's bed,
How I wish you're there lying on his bed smiling at me
How I wish I could sit by your side and pat your head to sleep

How I wish I could hold your hands, hug you this very moment
My chan......
미안해 Thanks for tolerating my impatience and bad temper

고마워~ ♡
Love ++++++
wow it's increasing day by day!lol
