Adios

I've come to a decision to move to tumblr for real since I am increasingly treating this blog like a tumblr.
So to go to my tumblr, just click 'tumblr' above there.

Alternatively to make it easier, click this picture.

 

Just for laugh & food for thought

Stumbled upon this article

VINCOLI: No student freedom at NUS

produced by Daily Yale News. Basically written by an American exchange student to NUS and attending political science lectures in NUS. Main purpose of article is to express his views on the academic restrictions in NUS, lack of freedom and his horror in not being able to express his views during examination in fear that the PAP would arrest him for it. Posting this up because it is such a funny read because of his sweeping generalizations made from unreliable anecdotes. :p

Reading the comments is even better than the article...

"The example about being "threatened with arrest" for standing at an airport terminal is absolutely ridiculous. As a US citizen who has lived in Singapore, I'd like to make the simple point that you are way more likely to be threatened with arrest at a US airport than in Singapore. 
I wish people would stop complaining about the whole Yale-NUS thing. Honestly, if you want the country to open up, then start this liberal arts institution and HELP THEM move in that direction. 
Don't do the same old American cultural imperialism bullshit and just vindicate other countries and concoct horror stories just to validate yourself as a self-appointed moral arbitrator."


hahahaha

CNY #2

Spent the whole of 2nd day CNY with a bunch of guys. I think the nice thing about spending time with guys is that you can just sit there and watch them kick ass on xbox or get wowed by skyrim, don't have to do much. I thank God I'm a girl who loves watching people game and am interested in gaming (:

So CNY started off with Jeff, Nathan and Joel coming to my house to visit. Jeff was amused with how 'taiwanese' my dad can be, more so than his own mother who is the real Taiwanese. Saboteur together before all 3 of us travel to Nate's place only to watch him play skyrim while I go gaga over the game's graphics. awesome graphics. awesome gameplay. Highly recommended game. Booked our flight to Korea together as well, so that's one thing done (: Two other came over, trashed them in Street Fighter until I played with Joel and he trashed me. sigh. Dinner together there with the parents as well before we all went to Joel's place to visit.

CNY is pretty good this year. Can't wait to meet my girls this Sunday for visiting too though a little sad that I'm missing lunch at the hawker near my JC with them - It's suppose to be our nostalgic lunch. Still, can't wait to meet them (:

CNY #1

My cousin's wife already gave birth to three kids so far and is still slim and pretty. I hope when I give birth to my own kids in the future, I can still stay pretty and not be fat.

My two nieces, bubbly girls at 4 & 6 years old, are so intelligent and cute. I think the older sister is even smarter than some of the primary 1 kids I have at the student-care centre I work in. My cousin is definitely doing something right in bringing up his daughters. (: Can't wait for the youngest baby nephew to grow up.

Someone dear reminded me today that each Pineapple tart worth of calories require 2km of running to burn off. Coupled with how my relatives said I look more plump this year and the fact that stepping on the weighing machine these days no longer gives me as much satisfaction as compared to sometime back, my new Resolution for the year is to end 2012 looking slimmer, healthier and fresher.

I envision myself at the end of 2012 being less fat than now, with auburn hair that is as long as before I cut it recently (because I'm dying to dye my hair in Korea for the thrill of it), hopefully happier, healthier and fresher after a nice SEP. Shall make that happen!

Actually I like this color but no idea if it is nice on me. Definitely not with my current hair length, but if it is much longer...?

Frivolous post. I'm just bored.

novelty lost is not happiness gone

one month!
simple one, not even a single frill. Glad for that because I prepared nothing myself hahaha

Its strange how this doesn't really feel that short; doesn't feel like it is one month. Maybe too many 'transitions per se' happened last year over a not too long stretch of time from the start of the year to the end, such that the novelty and thrill is not really there as compared to how it is like when people first started out.

Despite so, I won't deny smiling from ear to ear when the first thing I heard upon meeting is that happy one month. Imagine how it would be like after 10 months of LD, after returning to Singapore from South Korea in time for one year, if that happens, if God intends so. That day would mean so much more I guess, just in time before the world 'ends' according to the Mayan Calender
