An affair with cats, recently~



There were 2 new cats being abandoned at our block recently. One of them was a long and slender looking tabby-cat with a pretty tail. I invited her to my house for a meal too.. However, she had quite an attitude in choosing food. We gave her some of the left-over minced meat mixed with rice, she licked up the meat only and skipped the rest of the contents!!

Duhzzzz..... such a lousy attitude for a street-cat.

After eating, she lazed around on the piece of rag behind her, licking on her fur, keeping them clean and neat. My aunt then brought her down to where she should belong, as HDBs were not meant for a place to rear cats. (in fact, we do not have the time and money to take care of any animals)

This morning (I was on my way for work), I came across another little kitty with the same colour like the above. I squatted down to take a closer look, she actually jumped up and landed on my laps... haha.... it was so cute!! But I still had to let her go reluctantly as I was late for work...

I do hope some kind soul can adopt them. :-(

NUSSU NEWSFLASH

Fee Hike

Dear fellow students,

The NUS Students’ Union (NUSSU) met with the University Administration on Friday, 10th February 2006, and was informed of an impending increase in tuition fees. The administration took efforts to explain the rationale of such an increase to us.

Despite our vigorous objection to the fee increase for AY2006/2007, remembering that the last fee increase was in AY2005/2006, the University Administration still deems such a measure necessary in order to keep up with cost increases. NUSSU is also disappointed that despite requests to be more involved in discussions for school policies affecting the students, there is no consultation before this fee hike is announced to the Union. Nevertheless, we are committed to exploring with the University Administration on viable ways of consultative engagement pertaining to school policies affecting our students.

The University Administration has given NUSSU the assurance that it will channel more money for financial aid for needy students in the form of bursaries and to fund new and innovative schemes such as the Subsistence Loan and the Work-Study Assistance scheme. Following the discussion with NUSSU, the administration has agreed to further increase this commitment – in total, the administration will be setting aside an additional $3million for financial aid schemes for AY2006/2007. NUS remains committed to ensuring that no deserving student is denied a tertiary education because of financial difficulty. More information about the financial packages may be obtained at the following link: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/sfau/main.htm

Similarly, NUSSU manages its own NUS Students’ Fund Bursary for needy students, more information of which may be obtained here: http://nussu.nus.edu.sg/~nussf/index.htm

The last round of bursaries and book grants has just been awarded and the next round of applications will be from 1 September 2006 to 30 September 2006.
NUSSU remains committed in upholding the interests and welfare of the students. We value your feedback at (nussu_welfare@yahoo.com.sg) and will encourage active discussions in the IVLE portal, under the link: “Fee Hike Response”.

We thank you for your kind attention to this matter.

Regards,

Quek Boon Guan Danny
President
Executive Committee
27th NUSSU Council

I heard some full-time students are wearing black protest to the fee hike...

Ghee, I dunno whether part-time students are affected.
Am I going to wear black too??

Super Blur sotong coursemate......
bieh tahan her sometimes... haha... 

The weirdest test I've ever taken ~

I had my econs test on Sat, kind of bewildered by this question:

Your mother tells you, "Playing 2 hrs of computer games a game will make you stupid." Why is this a positive statement?

a) She says it with a positive tone in her voice.
b) It is a proposition that can be tested.
c) She really means that she does not think you should play so much computer games.
d) Your father agrees with her.
e) You must obey your mother.

I chose c.

Anyway, the whole paper was in such a mess. I dun feel too good. Most of the questions were not those u can find in text books. Mostly out of the lecturerer's own reasonings. He din even set a good paper as well, kept interrupting the whole test, telling us to amend this and that and din compensate us the time for his careless mistakes.

Anyway after the paper, I went for dinner with the "gals gang".

********************
I've received my test results, I've scored 25/39. And the answer for above question is b)... which in the first place I would think should be the correct answer. :p

********************
It was Lilian's Birthday, and at the same time to celebrate Evonne's belated birthday as well. We were supposed to meet at Parkway Parade, but I dunno the way to go.... so I called almost everyone up on how to go there. There was actually a free shuttle-bus service to Parkway from Bedok MRT.

Then we met and procceded to East Coast Park for dinner. Lilian said she wanted to treat us Seafood!!

Heee...heee...... :p


We had our dinner at this "NO SIGNBOARD" Restaruant


The service was quite slow despite the fact that they were not really crowded. And the waitress was rude too, initially. After the dinner, we strolled along the beach and stopped @McCafe for pep-talk.



Qiuhui bought a cake, it was YUMMY...~


HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAYS!!!


Gosh... I missed my 25th birthday too... :-)

I've made up my mind.

I want to be happy.

But if I wanna be happy, firstly, I must make other people happy right?

Because Life is in a big social cycle. Make friends, give concerns, help one another, and do not complain too much.

Do not expect the other to give u anything, think of what u got to offer.

However, there are still some people in this world that takes things for granted and never bother to think/reflect on their selfish actions.

This is what i have to do. Leave them (alone). Do not bother to scold them or teach them what to do. These people wouldn't change, no matter what. When u talk to such people, they think u r lecturing them and find u a bother/burden. And gifts to them are like shit.

There are some people that take advantage of your weakness and play around with you.

Who? I do not wish to comment.

Yar, in the first place, I've already made up my mind NOT to complain about them.

I had enough.

I wish to show more concern to those who sincerely deserve that. Family members & friends who care for me, dropped me an msn/sms when I am feeling down, fallen sick.

I wish to thank you all guys n gals... for all the love you all gave me. :D

Happy Valentine's Day~~ 14 Feb 06


An old comic i did in the past. 

Lecture on Friday



I truly enjoyed Fri's module. It was one of the most interesting subjects I took for this course. However, the rests of my coursemates aren't as highly anticipated in attending the lecture like me.

It was a rainy evening thus less people turned up for class. I guess most of them were studying for the incoming econs test on this coming sat.


Alone again, naturally~

I couldn't believe it....

"You are bothering me!!!!"
"I think you are very free to do all these things and asking alot of questions.."
"I dun have to reply you if I dun feel like to.."

Pls guys, if u really treasure someone u love, dun say such things to your gfs. They are hurting, slashing thru the flesh and leaving deep wounds inside their hearts.

Blame it on yrself that u r lousy bf. Dun exert frustrations on someone who cares for you. Bec one day, when u need to look for your soul, you found u had none.

Feeling Bo liao....

Heehheee..... my office computer~

 

Leather jacket to give away~

Anyone interested to want this jacket??

Bought from Mango boutique, genuine leather, but it is a little mouldy (with some spots). I've sent for cleaning recently but couldn't get rid of the stains.





If nobody wants, I'll throw away in March.

Valentine's Day coming~~

Hey, doesn't mean that I dun have a bf, I can't enjoy Valentine's Day like everyone else....

Managed to get this cartoon from a cartoonist named Parka. It's a pretty cute and cool strip...Enjoy~~

Slowly adding him back as a friend

It sounds difficult. I've overcomed that feeling.
Now adding him back as a friend.

我怕伤心难过又受骗，所以我选择放弃了...


Dear XXX,

Let's be just normal friends instead.

Once bitten, twice shy. I am afraid of being cheated again. Probably u may feel better this way but just can't bear to say this to me in the 1st place.

I am sick and tired and sad talking to a wall with no response.

I am not seeing anyone at the moment.

I've deleted yr friendster, msn, HP because I do not want to bother u anymore. Do concentrate on what u r doing. Life will be more peaceful to u without me around.

Good luck.

Because Good Girls Like Bad Boys ~ Taken from kennysia.com

An excerpt from his blog:


"You buy them gifts for WHAT?! Spoil them nia. You buy for them once and they'll always be expecting you to spend on them instead. Don't buy for them lah, let them buy for you instead! Like me." he said, pulling out his brand spanking new leather wallet, obviously a gift.


*raised an eyebrow... was quite true leh...

I do hope my dear dotes on me though... but.. (sigh..) :*-(

Whee!!!!~~

So happy that SL finally accepted the testimonial I wrote for him after his mother's death. I hope he had felt better, and was not intimidated by my endless bombing of smses to him those few days.

This is what I wrote to him


So often it seems that life is only made up of things to worry about. Life has many disappointments for all of us ... death, illnesses, betrayals, tragedies, and feelings of worthlessness and despair. Sometimes life can seem so very grim, and so many times we tend to wallow in pools of self-pity.

I would just like to say again ... I believe that our time here on earth gives us the opportunity to grow spiritually. We can experience much personal growth because of all the suffering, worries, and difficulties we have to go through during our mortal lives. It is the "Person up there" who made the it the way of fine-tuning us so we become more compassionate, more caring, more loving, and more aware of others' pain. After all, how could we ever dry the tears of others if we had never cried ourselves?

*drops a tear

Problematic Gal and Smiley Gal~

A quick sketch of how I felt during these few days of CNY.

Gastric~

Can't sleep last nite, had gastric problems, probably due to my irregular meals.

I clutched my tummy while sleeping. The pain ceased away when I fell asleep.

Serves me right for skipping dinner in order to loose weight. Or is it due to the Osim UZap I borrowed from sis?



I am going to have a proper meal afterwards. Who cares whether I'm slim or not liao...
