Do you know yourself?

did a personality quiz i found off Jiayun's bloggie... http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

i guess the results may be rather general, but pretty accurate.. at least for me... the "right job" part is darn true... I guess that's why I'm still an engineer! Lolx...

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

recapping the old times

another 20 min before the WEEKEND! hee... I've been spending the last few hours reading my own old blog posts... Since the start of my uni days to now... I'm feeling so old!

I read about all the major and minor events in my life that I had chosen to blog about. All the fun and laughter in the hall days, CO days.. the complaints about temp work & exams... the bintan trip, Beijing CO trip, Taiwan, Yeppoon (Australia), Japan, Melbourne... THIS is one of the few times when i realised so much has actually happened in my life. Though I do feel that something is still missing... (haiz...)

I remember the loneliness and helplessness I used to feel when I was all alone in hall... When my roomy and friends were all not around... the nights in which I would cry my heart out cos I gave in and lost to the loneliness and emptiness within me... It really make me realise how important it is to have someone around. To my dearest friend who is feeling depressed in the same situation... rest assured you are not the only one who had experienced this. I'll be happy to offer some company - msn or call =) and we'll be meeting up really soon! Don't stay depressed! Jiayou! 我挺你!

ok! managed to drop a post b4 work ends... Happy Weekend!

梁静茹 - 天灯

一首听了真的很感伤的歌。也许,这么多年后的我,还是没有从当时的心情中走出来。。。

梁静茹 - 天灯
词:林夕 曲:郑楠

在最像情侣的那一瞬
和他朝着晚空放天灯
两颗心许过甚麽愿望
我想问始终都不敢问

秒针追逐感动的可能
时间渲染感情的气氛
两个倒影在溪水浮沉
一个忘形就难以辨认

沉默的旅程乐在快乐得真假不分
追浮云的人浪漫在拥有过暧昧的名份
比拥抱单纯

暗恋的明灯一路上如烟火随身
宁愿那想像的情人永远保温
美梦别成真让我梦到忘记疑问
寂寞就想想那盏天灯那指纹


怀念没有吻过的嘴唇
想像没有说过的永恒
错过纠缠不清的凌晨
逃过幻觉破灭的黄昏

沉默的旅程乐在快乐得甜酸不分
追浮云的人浪漫在拥有过暧昧的名份
比拥抱单纯

暗恋的明灯一路上如烟火随身
宁愿那想像的情人永远保温
美梦别成真让我梦到忘记疑问
寂寞就想想那盏天灯那指纹


到满脸皱纹那场回忆比相恋逼真
曾经有一个人燃烧过一夜的青春

暗恋的明灯一路上如烟火随身
宁愿那想像的情人永远保温
美梦别成真让我梦醒不留疤痕
我的天空里有他眼神他体温

cough cough cough

I'm coughing! (duh?) Haiz... just so lucky to be sick just after I'm back from Melbourne... Must be the weather here in Singapore. Lolx.

Since my lappie has been coughing badly oso... (the fan has officially became dead) I went to brave the IT Show Human squeezing on Thursday night. And surprisingly, the deals are good but not wonderful (at least for ppl looking for cheap and good specs like me). Ended up buying from outside the fair... with a HUGE 23" LCD that has taken up ALL my desk space... so much for buying a slim CPU...

Ok! here are pix from Melbourne! =)

Survived the 6 hours drive to see the Twelve Apostles (or whatever that's left of it)...


COWS!!!!!


I like this pic! The pretty pond and clouds and moo moos~


Back in Melbourne City... The river is so pretty! Was staying at Southbank, and as we walk around every night, the camera keeps shooting the pretty night scenes. =)

Canoeing can be so romantic! (Oh I love the ferris wheel! - though small and far away)

In order not to bore everyone with 30 photos of the same river... (lolx...) there are only 2 here. =P

Flinder's Street Station! *pretty!*

A friend who is a freelance photographer shot this for me (pss... he charges over $100/hr usually orh!) I like this photo!

Graffiti everywhere... in the alleys, on the streets, on shop doors and walls... I guess the shop owners can't be bothered to remove them cos they will keep coming back..

Ferris wheel again! This is taken from another hotel on Spencer Street a colleague moved to for the last night. Nice view!

Melbourne in autumn is really nice =) as long as you bring a thicker jacket. Lolx... I seriously prefer the refreshing cold to the hot and humid Singapore. I guess I really do like autumn~ (Japan in autumn was fantastic too! )

Live from Melbourne!

Woo hoo! I'm now at Melbourne!!!

Work has been nothing but work since Monday.... luckily we arrived on Sunday and we had the chance to take an ultra long drive to Great Ocean Road to see the 12 apostles... Will upload pix when I'm back in Singapore bah... the hotel has no internet access unless I pay a "small fee".

I thought it'll be hot in Melbourne with the recent fires... but it was so damn cold when I arrived and I really regret pulling out the jacket and windbreaker from my luggage!!! Heng at least I have a pathetic cardigan with me (better than nothing actually...)

It's cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and damn cold again at night, coupled with strong winds and drizzles once in a while. woo~ I like the cold weather really =) but I still don't like the sun that much. Haha...

I hope I get some time to go shopping! Shops close too early and work ends too late... =(

blog blog blog!

I should be packing my bags for melbourne...
or watching my dramas...
or preparing to sleep early...
or chit chating with my mum...

but somehow... I'm still fussing about my dear bloggie. Wahahahaha... tired staring at the little lappie screen (is it my imagination or is my screen flickering?)...
I realise I really love how the background remains static while u scroll... (sua gu)
And here's the latest of my favourite tunes (from my latest drama craze 败犬女王!)

Looking at the archives section.. I realise how much less I've been blogging in recent years! The no. went into a steep drop since I first started blogging! From 85 to 30 to 17 to 9! OMG! You mean I was so lazy? Haha... Shall aim to add photos too! (when will I get down to uploading?)

宅女的一天

最近“宅男宅女”好像特别受欢迎,至少在偶像剧的世界里是这样 =)

看看自己无趣的一天,好像也蛮符合宅女嘛!

晚上就和电视一起吃晚餐,11点就准时开电脑,看久违了的偶像剧。
睡得太饱,结果现在还有精神地blog!zzzzzzz.... What a boring day... lols...

cham! tml still gotta work!!! argh.... better go sleep soon!

missing you~

Working makes me realise just how wonderful being a student is... No strict working time restrictions, no need to wake up at 7am everyday (if you know how to plan your timetable), no need to feel so tired at the end of the day everyday, no need to miss your good friends for a long time...

Seems like forever since I last met my darlings~ and organising a gathering is no longer that easy when we are all working. *sigh* Okok! I'll try to make it happen ba! Gambatte!

She Ya feels sad that her friends don't have time for her (sob...), but hopefully she'll quit her bad habit of procrastinating and try out these things soon:
1. Learn Japanese! (though this should have come before going to Japan right?)
2. Learn Piano / Guitar! (hmm... first I need a space in my room to place it somewhere,)
3. Work hard & save up! (Goal: to repay loans by end 2011!)

No more holiday trips for this year! (short and cheap trips MAYBE...) Will be going to Melbourne for work (What? Australia again?) without my good buddies so I think it's going to be bit lonely (ke lian...).

Sundays always pass by so fast... Let's enjoy the last few hours of this weekend, yeah!?

不知不觉中,原来大家都找到了幸福!祝我的好朋友们:幸福快乐,长长久久!=)
思雅也想早日找到生命中的另一半!

New skin

Yo Ho!!! Long Time No See!

Yeah I know I've been lazy and this place is pretty much dead... That's why I'm reviving it on Valentine's Day! Was just at the zoo today and there's such a huge crowd that I couldn't even find a place to stand to watch the Penguin's shows! (sobs...) But the elephants are so kawaii!!!! *hee*

Anyways, I'm so tired doing this blog skin thingy I think I'll stop for now. Happy V-day to all!

*I'm missing all my darlings~~~*

2009

It's a new year! I know this is a little late for a new year post... but well... I was too lazy... a 4 day long weekend has made me feel like such a lazy pig I sorta forgot it's 2009 already! Haha!

Although new year has never meant anything special to me, it still manages to remind me that another year has passed. 2008 was a special year. It marks the transition from student to working adult, and many first times:
  • the first time I visited Taiwan & Japan, 2 of my top dream holiday destinations!
  • the first time I travel to Australia for work
  • the first time I get to experience military exercise
  • first FYP
  • first job
  • first credit card

It seems pretty long ago that I was in NTU, mugging hard for exams, staying late with Peishi for FYP, going for CO practices, the NTUCO concert, FYP presentation, convocation ceremony...

Then it was Taiwan with Sylvia! I finally met my uncle and aunt who are working and staying there and has not been back for the past many years. Taiwan is one place where dreams come true, or so I've always felt. I hope I will get a chance to live and stay in Taiwan one day (retirement? hee hee...) and I WILL visit again... I think my parents would love to go visit too! =) - I better start saving up!

I started working end June 08, and I'm so glad I've made such good friends! Thanks to Jia Yun for always accompanying me while we take the "arrows" together! And also the rest on our boss's "arrow list" - Chaowei, Chi Meng, Hau-ge, Suwei.

I'm especially lucky to have such capable teammates! Thanks to my "lecturer" CL for being such a wonderful mentor, leader and boss. Thanks for explaining all the technical stuff like a real professor, and the many brainwashing sessions you've given us. Thanks for cooking our meals in Australia and taking such good care of us! Thanks for putting up with my "sotong"-ness when I forgot to bring my wallet & IC the other day! =P And the forever young YM - thanks for all your kind guidance and help this past 6 months! I'm going to miss them both when they go for further studies later this year. I'll jiayou and try to learn as much as I can in these few months! =) Good luck for your studies!

My favourite trip this year - Japan! F&E is really the best way to travel! =) though we 3 girls (me, elaine, xuan) were too pampered and we chose to spend lots of $$ on hotels instead of hostels... maybe next time I should go hostels or home stays instead! (sounds like lots of fun also!) Though we spent lots of time doing our research before we embarked on the trip, it was all worth it! There are still so much more to see in Japan - I wanna go back again! I love the beautiful red maple leaves, the strong cool winds and the cold winter, the friendly (and shy!) Japanese, the mix of tradition and modernity in the cities, the really complicated Japanese language, the hot sweet sake and the never-ending shopping! I really enjoyed Japan, but for now, I've gotta work hard and play less. =)

I've spent the first 4 days of 2009 resting (or slacking). Just back from a Mayday concert with my sis and her friends - was really high! Hee hee... Okok... here's my list of "to-dos" for the remaining 361 days of the year =)
  • Work hard! -> Will be travelling to Melbourne for work in Feb. (must be more independent!)
  • Pay Loans -> too many loans but must jiayou! aim to pay off by 2011!
  • Learn Japanese!
  • Learn something else -> maybe guitar / keyboard / vocal
  • Meet up more with my darlings!!! =)
Happy New Year to all my friends! May 2009 be a wonderful year!

Japan!

I'm back from Japan! And I'm missing Japan badly! It was cold but really wonderful compared to Singapore's HOT weather (I tot it's dec... shouldn't it be cooler?)
9 Days in Japan was great and I love the maple leaves!!! Perhaps I should revisit in Spring to watch the cherry blossoms!!! Sakura~ Sakura~~~

Back from Aussie

I'm back! Time sure flies... 20 days in Australia has gone by real fast... I'm now back in Singapore, facing reality again...

Life's good in Australia (minus the work)... It's quite something to see all shops closing at 530pm everyday... and it's really demoralizing to see the entire mall closed except for the supermarket - and it's only 7pm (5pm S'pore time!). We stayed in Yeppoon, a small town with ONE shopping street (that's the CBD). Luckily, the beach & seaview make up for everything =)

We have to endure 1.5 hrs per trip to travel from Yeppoon to the training area but i guess that beats staying in camp! =P The trip has made me seen so much... It's hard to put them all in words here... but well... to say the truth, I realised I'm such a city girl - I can't survive in the wilderness... I was so terrified of the buzz of the flies swarming around in the field that I could hear the "replay" even as I lie in bed that night!

Well... Ain't I glad to be home! =)

If you only see the darkness in front,
You'll miss the galaxy of stars in the sky above.
If you only feel the scorching rays,
You'll never appreciate the warmth of the sun.

work work work

I used to be able to write all sorts of crap here...but recently I find myself staring very hard at the blogger page and wondering what to write... I can't really talk much about work on blog... in case it ends up on one of the internal mass emails of the cpy.. hahaz...

I'm almost 3 months into the job... Life's good so far (I guess...) though sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right line... When what interests you is not the same as what you are good at, which one will you choose? When your dreams probably cannot be easily achieved without forgoing everything you've had all your life... What will you choose?

Will be spending 20days in the desert soon... It's work so I guess I have no choice but to be roasted there... (argh...) I hope I will still be recognizable after I'm back! (I don't want to be black black...) So well... please think of me! *blush*

我也好想去相信,但我已等了好久。我还能继续等下去吗?

人因梦想而伟大。没有梦想的我,能成为伟大的人吗?

一直在意那些没有的、渴望的,就永远不会发现已经拥有的幸福。
