Welcome 2006!!

Yes~ It's going to be a fresh new year for me.

I looked back into last new year's resolutions, how many have I actually accomplished?

Tasks for 2005

1) To finish my Higher Diploma in Real Estate & Property Management ~ Done

I am still in the middle of it, finishing in June (perhaps?). Currently in Property Economics. Thanks to Mr Chu (SAJC)... I still remember the fundamentals of Economics pretty well. BTW, still wondering whether he's married or not..

2) To pay my taxes ~Done. I wrote to them that I have to pay for my school fees, thus no need to pay tax :p

I will write to IRAS to inform them I have a more stable job and can contribute abit to the community. At least I got this feeling I won't be charged for not paying taxes. :P

3) To get a health/accident insurance ~ Got to save money for my school fees

Need to get insured. You can't predict what will happen to you the next moment...

4) To enrol into NUS(part-time) ~ Done. I'm in my grave now.

Well, that depends on my luck... But when I were to think of the fees.... @-___-@ ...... (sian half)

5) To buy a Wacom Tablet ~ Probably for next year's resolution

Learn to draw digitally in the computer, but first, I have to format/upgrade my PC as it is getting too old. Will be installing Painter 8 into it, so need a higher memory to support.

6) Draw some comic strips ~ Probably for next year's resolution

Perhaps draft out some ideas from my job? :)

7) Learn a third language? ~ Nah.. what's the use?

Sounds incredible especially when you reached a certain age. Perhaps I need to learn Tamil as India is the next country other than China where there will be further developements. (Nin ge, na de, san de... hohoho... I am talking in Tamil... vanakum (goodbye)..) <--- learnt from Tamil evening news.




Now here's the main part~ Year 2006 Resolutions!!


1) Earn lots of $$$$

It is either a new job or a change of line~

2) Find "someone" who loves me

Tough luck. It is always a blessing to be loved than to love someone~

3) Better grades for Semester 2 & 3

No more Little Miss Nice.. I'm just going to mind my own business and you guys are going to learn things yourselves, no more spoon-feeding~ I'm tired of being nice. Frankly speaking, I prefer to do projects my own.

4) Wacom Intuos 3

Don told me this device is incredible.... Well~ I've not touched drawings for a LONG, LONG time. Rusty, rusty liao.

5) Better relationships with my auntie and family

I'm trying~ trying.... I'm trying to lessen their burden.

6) Find another place to stay

The last resolution is the worst thing I wanna have for 2006... If really bo bian then this is the last wish I want to have.

Some weird traditional packagings~

Came across some food products which amused me.


Guess what this is?

A food product from Vietnam, looks like some kind of bubblegum packaging, which is actually delicious green bean paste. But just look at the creepy photo at the right....


Like photo from tombstone, well~ it is actually the founder of the product

I was telling Lorraine that it looked like those tiger balm oil thingy.... Haha~



Another food product caught my eye too.


To "use" or "eat" one ah?

I thought it was baby powder in the first place.



Sidenote: Just in case you dunno abt the product above, it's actually titbits from Malaysia.

Merry X'mas everyone!!!!


Dun have bonus, dun have pay-raise... just a X'mas tree to save our days...

Young lass, Keira Knightley

Watched "Pride & Prejudice" with a friend on last Friday. It had been quite a long time eversince the last classical movie, "Titanic" <= Was that a classic?

I always love classics, because the ending is always beautiful.

I'm never in doubt when I found Keira Knightley acting as Elizabeth Bonnet, the strong-willed, intelligent yet stubborn woman, who won the heart of the very "proud" Mr Darcy.


Pride & Prejudice Movie

I looked back into our favourite starlet's past few movies and found most of her roles did not suit her.


Keira in "Pirates of Carribean" Delicious set of breasts...:p



Hollywood, special effects, not all her.....


This kind of cleavage I also can "create" mysef... haha...
Just lie down on yr side will do



The secret is revealed!!

The beautiful "Queen of England, Ginevere" in "King Arthur"


When applied the amazing Photoshop Skills...



From "airport runway " to "B cup" .. just a few clicks away...


I also want to Photoshop myself like this.. haha...


Does this "disadvantage" dampen her hopes in Hollywood? I doubt so. She is getting saucier roles than before. I just feel she may get a nomination for Oscars for her role in "Pride & Prejudice"

FT flew me aeroplane

He talks about teamwork.
He complains about other people.
He thinks his existence in workplace is not important and nobody's going to listen to him anyway even he is right.
He keeps on laughing to himself.
He is in low self-esteem
He disturbs me when I'm working and trying to focus.
He urges me to fix up the meeting.

And yet he flew me aeroplane and says he needs to go on urgent leave.

Bullshit on his teamwork, bullshit on whatever he said. He refused to say his reasons for the urgent leave.

He sounds "negative" every time, says sweeping statements and makes me mad.

I tried to emphatize his situation and listen to his grievances. Now I think I'm just being a busybody.

This time round, I'm not going to mind his business. I'm not going to be sorry when I scolded him, he jolly well deserved it.

FT, if you are reading this, feel happy because finally I'm writing about u.
Haha~

Worries~

The school has informed us that results will be out this 23 Dec 05... Hope I won't really get a heart attack after hearing the results.

Was hoping to at least get these grades bah:

Statistics (well~ that asshole lecturer) ~ B
Urban Land Use & Development ~A
Building Technology ~C
Ideas of and Approaches in Architecture ~C

(I'm not greedy..)

Not too high hopes for the last one, cos there are 800++ no.s of students taking this paper, chances for high grades are not possible. Anyway, I'll still need to prepare another few thousands to last me to pay for the next semester fees. (But I've no idea what the modules are)

**************************************************************

Had planned wisely to fully utilize the school break. Won't be going for vacation as I'm pretty broke after the Phuket & Hong Kong trip. Guess i will be spending more time with my family instead, and visit my grandma more often to make up for those times I've not visited her. She missed me so much, kept asking me when I'm coming to visit her... and even wanted to pass me some pocket money, but I kindly refused to accept for the fact I'm now working and has quite stable income.

Brother seemed to have applied for a course in SIM, in IT Management which should start next year. Sis and brother-in-law are also planning (Aug 06) to live in Florida for 2 years as he (brother-in-law)is sponsored by his company to study in US. (not confirmed yet) Hmm.. will be feeling kind of lonely without them around.

The hectic life will come back when the new year starts. I'll be running around like a mad dog again. (sigh~)

There won't be time for families, friends or even a bf, husband... Weekends will be packed with tutorials, projects and assignments. Public holidays will be used for revisions and research. Can't imagine how life's be in the next four years.. I'll probably die as an old maid. (well, at least a pretty one, hehe).

No "Chicken Little".. KFC Little can? Dun worry, there is no Avian flu. 

The new laptop

I was informed by Dell that the arrival will come in from 9am to 12pm on sat, thus i set my alarm to 9am to wake up and await for the delivery to my house. Honestly speaking, I was really excited of this new 'baby'.....

The parcel came at 1pm. (damn!)

It came in a big Dell package with a DELL word printed all over. I was thrilled, acknowledged the delivery without opening to check (who cares!!) Carefully opening with a penknife, I found a big nylon bag inside, quite a no. of cdroms (drivers, application cds for the laptop) and my silver 'baby'!! Without hesitation, i took it out and on the power.

Named him (assume he is male), 'Moon's baby'.. hehe..

Moon's baby is silver and with white frame at its perimeters. He is about 2.5kg, pretty light and fits in perfectly into a A4 sling bag.



'Say 'hi' to everyone!!'


He gets alittle warm when 'on' too long

Well, he's going to accompany me in another 3 years... (whether he likes me or not..)

*************************************************************

About the male terrapin. Yes, he is gone. (sob)
Hope he is fine in the place he ended himself in. His wife (another terrapin) misses him. She has not been eating right, not even moving around anymore.

*************************************************************
Went to Laneige counter to buy some of the offered items. There was a special set where u can get a full-sized Effect-C booster, eye & lip makeup remover, 2 eye shadow colours, blusher, illuminating powder, 2 full-sized lipstick and lipgloss for $88!! No kidding!! And the sales gal gave me a free bag out of good-will!! (plus other samples)



woohooo!!!


love the bag especially... my laptop can fit in perfectly..

Yippie!!! My Inspiron 630m is coming in this sat morning! Can't wait to lay my hands on its silver surface... ahh... :)
