So, the semester starts, whether I wanted it or not.
My timetable is pretty good yet bad at the same time. I have a three-day week on odd weeks and four-day week on even weeks so that's great. On the other hand, I have to endure the morning rush-hour for my 10am classes and evening rush-hour after my 6pm lectures. Each trip home is horrible and sometimes, suffocating. Of course, when people are pushing and shoving, tempers are bound to rise.
I especially like the fact that weekends come early because I'm free on Fridays. Last Friday, it was shopping with my mother at Orchard in preparation for the upcoming Lunar New Year. It was a fun day which I haven't had in ages. Shopping on weekdays has its peaks, two of which are the staff being more attentive to one needs and the fitting rooms being relatively free.
Speaking of Lunar New Year, it is less than a month away! I'm already in the festive mood or should I say, I've never got over the "festive hangover" from Christmas last year. I am feeling rather positive and as always, a hint of nostalgia as we all aged one year.

CNY 2012
Lunar New Year 2012 came and went. It has been great this year and the ambience is so much better than Christmas.
I was already in the holiday mood when last Wednesday came around. I went to cut my hair and the following day, did manicure in the purple and blue which turned out really cool. Red and pink are so yesterday. That evening, the family went to the Chong Pang area to do some last minute new year shopping and to soak in the festive atmosphere.
On Friday, originally we wanted to go to our usual haunt, Far East Flora but the queue was too long and thus, we went to Ang Mo Kio instead.
We had our reunion dinner at my uncle's house a day before the eve. It was the usual steamboat dinner but I did enjoy it as this is the only time throughout the year in which we get steamboat. Having steamboat at home beats having it outside because it is very casual and everything tastes so much better and superior.
This left us free on Sunday. We went to Far East Flora around 5pm so it was not as crowded. I managed to buy some beautiful cut flowers and my mother got 2 pots of plants. Afterwards, we headed over to Marina Square to meet the relatives.
It was a very smooth journey as most shops will be closed by then and most families will be having their reunion dinner. For the first time, the carpark at Marina Square was so empty and we can park wherever we like. It's fun seeing almost all shutters down.
We ate some snacks at KFC and thankfully, the drizzle ended and we walked over to River Hongbao where all the festivities are. I used to have an aversion going to that place because I remembered it being wet, congested with lots of people and generally being unpleasant. Therefore, it was a surprise to many of us when we arrived as it was so much more organised and roomy now. We even get to walk on the floating platform!
It was the usual visiting on Monday and Tuesday. On more exciting news, we went to Marina Bay Sands on Tuesday evening to watch the laser show at the waterfront and had dinner at Bazin. There was nothing special about the show as I have seen better ones at Sentosa in the past. Bazin is located at the waterfront and it is really cool with all the breeze and palm trees around. It's almost like we are on a vacation overseas. Too bad, reality is that day was the end of the celebrations.

Hiatus
Hiatus again, I know.
Life is hectic, or should I say, school is hectic. There's only less than a month before this all ends. And then what?
It's Lunar New Year again! I'm so glad that I get this small break in the middle of the week, no less.
I had no classes on Wednesday so it's an extra day off for me. The best thing is, the weather cleared up as soon as the first day of the new year rolled in. How awesome is that?
Lunar new year's eve reunion dinner is an annual affair of steamboat. I look forward to this day every year, partly because it is the only time we get to eat steamboat. After the satisfying dinner, we watched Red Cliff and received red packets from the adults.
The first day of the new year started the same as every year. There were only a few houses to visit and we went to my cousin's house afterwards. Dinner was KFC.
If there's one thing I look forward, it's the "binge-eating" and unhealthy food you shoved into your mouth. No proper food for two days made one missed normal dishes.
The second day was more fun as we went to Sentosa in the evening. Gods, the place was teeming with tourists from the region and it was too crowded for me. Went the Candylicious but ended up not buying anything.
All too soon, the chinese new year break came to an end and I can only look forward to it next year. Sighs, what will next year brings?

Celebrations
On Sunday, we celebrated grandmother's birthday as well as the end of Lunar New Year with a feast at Spring Court Restaurant in China Town.
-
It was great fun! We had a private room all to ourselves, all the way up on the 4th floor. The restaurant is in the old housing concept; tall but narrow. But, surprisingly, it was all quite grand. I love the toilets especially. It's special, what with it situated outside of the building retaining the old world charm and yet very modern.
-
Shared a bouquet of flowers with my brothers which we bought for grandmother. The bouquet had 3 red roses and wild flowers to complement. Originally, I wanted to go with the sunflowers as it seemed much casual.
-
Surprised my grandmother with the appearance of my cousins and their spouses. My father invited them along but apparently, didn't tell grandmother.
-
So, 19 of us were spilt into 2 tables, adults on one table and the teenagers on another. However, because there wasn't enough seats for the adults, my mother and auntie sat at our table. Had one of those set dinners since it was still, technically, the Lunar New Year.
-
There is Karaoke in the room too. Naturally, we were all quite shy and didn't sing much. Although, we listened to lots of songs. After much cajoling, some of them picked up the mike and sang.
-
Had ice-cream cake which was bought by my auntie. It was a huge cake, as seen from the picture above. And we took our family tradition picture; mirror picture.
-
My uncle ushered us all up to the highest level to take a family photo. We shifted tables and chairs as that place is a banquet room too. Wow, this is the first place the whole family, and I mean whole, took pictures together.
-
Soon, it's time to get going as the time (3pm) was up and the staff were to have their rest.
-
Thus, Lunar New Year 2010 came to a close.

CNY part 1
12th February 2010:
Today was the day that disastrous thing happened. But, what can I do? We wanted to do damage control, but the teacher (I should have known) did not want to give us a second chance.
Yes, I was working at this day. After my work, which ended at 10 plus, we made our way to Far East Flora. As per usual, the whole area was jam-packed full of cars since there are no proper parking system.
In the end, my father didn’t make his way down because there was no parking lot available and he had to mind the car.
We were to make the purchases alone. I went to the “Cold Room” alone to see if I can buy some exotic cut flowers. Wow, the whole small area was flooded with people! People can barely walk. The flowers are a plenty but they don’t seem to be of very good quality. Or maybe, I was late. I can’t find the right flowers to complement what I already bought. Besides, the prices are a little too high for me to be comfortable. I mean, they are flowers, not that they could last forever.
We bought narcissus, and another pot of plant.
It was nearly 12 am when we made our way down to McDonalds at Ang Mo Kio as I was hungry.
Surprisingly, the whole place was nearly full. People were still eating and chatting away. There were even some people who were playing card games! Wow, do these people never sleep.
We went home after eating twister fries and chicken wings. Slept at about 1am.
13th February 2010:
Today was the eve of the Lunar New Year, where the reunion dinner took place.
The entire dinner was a fun affair. The whole family sat at the table, enjoying the home-made steam boat. All thanks to my grandmother.
After that, we had plenty of laughter while taking unglamorous pictures, not me, but my brother and cousin.
At 12am, we ushered in the Year of the Tiger.
14th February 2010:
The first day of the New Year!
Woke up early and got ready to go visiting. Actually, for us, there wasn’t much visiting to be done. Just a couple of houses to go to before we headed straight to my cousin’s house. Then, we stayed there for the rest of the day.
Ate steamboat for dinner again with my auntie’s family. Am kind of sick of it now.

The Last Hurrah
It's time to let your hair down and ho-li-day!
Everything is done, the holidays are here! Hurray!
Yesterday's interview role-play was alright, I guess. All the questions I prepared didn't come out, though I did make use of some of the answers I prepared beforehand. Yes, I already said I'm pathetic. Guess I didn't make a fool out of myself. Whatever, I don't want to think about it anymore.
I can hardly believe I stayed in school for some many hours after the interview and for what? A 5 minutes World Issues quiz. Out of 5 questions, I have 2 that I answered wrongly?
Gosh, things speed up in the last few weeks of school, I can't wait for it to be over and then, poof! it's time to say goodbye to semester 2.2. I'll miss my friends, luckily, we are not changing classes for semester 3.1.
Lunar New Year is here and I'm pretty excited! No matter what I declared in the past. Why, why am I working today, huh?
My manicured nails are beautiful, even I said so myself. It's a nude pink with silver tips. I tried to do the same effects on my toes but the outcome wasn't that good. Sighs...
Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief is a must-watch this CNY! I can't wait for to watch it. It's been years since I read the first book and I remembered thinking how nice it would be if there is a movie made. I'm so going to book tickets today for Monday's show.
Just hoping that there are still good seats available.

Of Wedding & Plans
Thought I would write something light for a change.
On Saturday, 23th January, the whole family attended 表哥's wedding at Changi Village Hotel. It was an Afternoon reception. Before the wedding lunch, there was a solemnisation ceremony too. And after that was the tea ceremony.
It was a fun day, it is a once in a blue moon chance for the whole family to attend a wedding reception together.
Too bad we didn't take many photos that day.
Anyway, there's always Chinese New Year, and by then, I would have been free.
I can't wait to do the things I want. I'm so making a list of the stuff I must complete when semester 3.1 rolls in.
My last holiday as a "free person". 3.1 holidays would see me doing internship and 3.2 holidays is when I will graduate. Oh god, it seems so fast. As much as I like poly life to end, I rather study than to do something else. And I do want to go University, preferably overseas.
But before making any plans, I have to start researching on that trip to Florida.
Soon, my dear, soon.

CNY 2009 part 2
27th Jan:
Went to my aunt's house from my mother's side.
After a while, went back to cousin's house to meet up before going to watch the movie Inkheart at Jurong Point. Almost full, again. What's with people and watching movies during CNY season?
13 tickets altogether. We were seated in 2 rows.
Inkheart is quite nice, in my opinion. Then again, I didn't read the book beforehand. So, I'm not really in the position to say anything. Hmm, maybe, I will read the trilogy someday.
One thing for sure is, Inkheart isn't Twilight for younger kids. This is most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What, now suddenly, every movie is being compared with Twilight!? Stupid media and their shallow-thinking. Twilight is not comparable to any other movie unless that movie has vampires that sparkle and drive fast and expensive cars.
Went for dinner at a restaurant in Jurong Point. The food was ok, although my cousins and brothers didn't seem to enjoy it.
28th Jan:
Went for French class for less than an hour and returned home. Wasted my time. I woke up at 5.45am.
Booked tickets for Red Cliff 2 at Golden Village at North Point. The theater was almost full.
Red Cliff 2 is a nice movie. Make me curious about the whole book series and history of China. Hoping to watch Red Cliff next time. Maybe, I will go and borrow the DVD or something.
It's 2 hours plus, long movie.
Candid shot of me and my father

CNY 2009
25th Jan:
Had our steamboat reunion dinner at cousin's house. It was great, as usual. There were slices of abalone, fish, meat, fishballs, squid, prawns, vegetables, etc. We had 2 steamboats, one for the 'adults', one for the 'Cullenists', to quote my cousin. Except that only 3 of us are Cullenists.
Drank sparkling fruit juice and apple cider afterwards.
Countdown at home and slept at about 1am.
26th Jan:
The 1st day of CNY. Bathed, wore "new" clothes, and went visiting.
I don't understand how a lot of people don't like visiting their relatives. Well, probably because they hated the awkward questions asked and all. But my side of relatives, they don't do all that.
The best part about CNY, besides from the goodies and flowers, is the wearing nice clothes and accessories. In how many occasions in the year can I wear those?
My father asked me to wear my knee-high boots but I don't want to. It looks weird with my silver dress. Even he thought so.
There weren't many houses to visit anyway.
Went my cousin's house afterwards.
We were thinking of watching Red Cliff 2 in the theater at night. I didn't think there was a need to book tickets as the movie was already out for a long time and at the timing, not many people will go watch it.
Guess what? I checked online and all tickets were sold out. What the... I can't believe that my calculations were wronged. Those that want to watch it would have done so when it was 1st released.
PS: Don't feel like going back to school. The mere thought of that makes my mood for the day blue. How is it that it can be fun for 2 days then went back to school for the next?

Ramblings
Had Business Statistics test today. It was OK, in general. I stumbled over a question and thought of the answer for a long time before answering.
The teacher said I did one part wrongly though. Really stupid and careless mistake. Sigh...
Yes, this week is finally over! Passed up our MacroEcons project. It's very beautiful. Feeling more relaxed although there's marketing project left.
Aside from tomorrow's Business Accounting make-up lecture, the weekend looks to be great. I'm wishing this Chinese New Year to be wonderful.
But for whatever reasons, I'm feeling rather depressed. Mood swings or just plain depression? It's like I'm not part of the festive joy at all. Always looking from the outside.
Later I'm going to Far East Flora to "see" and buy flowers.
I saw some pretty awesome taglines for New Moon on http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/taglines
Personally, I like the one 'Forbidden to Remember; Terrified to Forget' and 'When you can’t be with the one you love, will you stay with the one who loves you?' I also like the one 'The Cullens are not the only family with a secret'. Hint hint. Very mysterious and dark. Lovely.
The others are great too. What wonderful ideas to work on my next series of banners.
'Somewhere the clock is ticking' I can just feel the anticipation and tension. Ticking to the release of New Moon movie, time is wasting away, time washes away as you fight for the one you love. Very angst: the theme for New Moon.
Well well, I need time. I want to work on the banners.

OB presentation & BA2 test
Had OB presentation yesterday. Our group wore jeans and collar-shirts. We had to do a role-play too.
Laughed as usual. The role play was on the 5 stages of group development and we linked it to basketball. We went for the humour effect and ended up laughing. It was quite great, I think. Although, in the midst, we did missed a part or two.
The presentation went quite well. Apparently, I spoke too fast.
Studied for BA2 night test. The topics are actually easy, even I think it's ridiculous for me to get so worried over it. But, maybe, it's the brain or something that is wrong. I'll automatically repelled BA.
Memorised the formats and some theory while chatting with friends. We had about 3 hours + to go before the test.
My friend, her friend and I went for French lecture but came out half an hour later because we were falling asleep.
7.20 pm came. Wished each other good luck and started reading the questions. It was easy, like that in the mock test. There's a saying that mock test and the actual test are 2 different things though.
I did the Cash Flow Statement 1st. The operating activities went well. But I can't balanced the investing and financing activities sections. I knew what I did wrong and it was almost a stupid mistake if not the fact that my brain can't twist.
The other mistake I know of is the P&L Appropriation Statement. Another stupid mistake. I put the salary part in it, but because I can't balance the statement, I took it out. It was supposed to be there. What the...
Anyway, I tried my best and the mistakes will probably only cost me a few marks. I'm aiming for a B or B+. At least, this test will be better than my mid-semester test.
Today's French culture quiz 2 was OK. I did not know 2 questions though. Worked on our upcoming role-play too.
Countdown to CNY: 4 days (3 days before having reunion dinner)
Looking forward for CNY!

Father's birthday
Celebrated my father's birthday at Jack's Place at Causeway Point on 17th Jan. Had grilled boneless chicken with fries.
Got me thinking on where I want to go for my birthday. I think it's either Swensens or Jack's Place. I miss the grilled sambal fish and fries from Swensens.
Went shopping at Metro and then got myself a Levi's jeans. There is a promotion going on, exchange old jeans of any brand for a $50 off for Levi's jeans. It's quite a good deal actually. Levi's jeans are great, softer and smoother than normal jeans. So, I can't grow fat or else, the money would be wasted.
Bought clothes for my brothers too. I saw a nice dress but it is expensive. Anyway, I already have enough clothes to wear during CNY, so no use buying more clothes.
Had dessert at Gelare. I shared the waffle and ice-cream with my father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Entering the final week to CNY.
There's this feeling inside me. Maybe it's because of the festive mood around, mixed with the anxiety of upcoming tests, that's creating this weird feeling.

Levi's jeans are great, softer and smoother than normal jeans. So, I can't grow fat or else, the money would be wasted.
Bought clothes for my brothers too. I saw a nice dress but it is expensive. Anyway, I already have enough clothes to wear during CNY, so no use buying more clothes.
Had dessert at Gelare. I shared the waffle and ice-cream with my father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Entering the final week to CNY.
There's this feeling inside me. Maybe it's because of the festive mood around, mixed with the anxiety of upcoming tests, that's creating this weird feeling.

Updates
Was doing various projects. Marketing is really a killer.
Regarding the week, I got back my French listening and writing tests. Woo, I'm very happy I did well. 38/40 for writing and 18/20 for listening. Now, all's left is one more culture quiz and a 30% role play. With any luck, I can get an A for my French.
Handed up the OB project. Really thankful for that.
Next week will be tough, the torturous week before Chinese New Year.
On Monday, there's project consultation for Marketing and rehearsing for OB presentation.
On Tuesday, BA2 night test at 7.20 pm and before that, OB presentation.
On Wednesday, French culture quiz.
On Friday, Business Stats In-class assignment.
Chinese New Year is coming, I can't believe it. It's so fast. I want to go back to my secondary school but alas, my class end at 4pm.
I'm still looking for a wolf charm. I actually saw one on ebay, but the bidding time ran out. Today, I saw another, I think I'm going to ask my friend to help me buy it. No use waiting for another chance to come along. Unless, I saw one in a shop, here in Singapore that is not too expensive.
Oh well...

Thoughts
It's been chilly lately. It's really windy too.
If only there's snow...
I can't wait for Chinese New Year! But, before that, there are many obstacles to pass.
Projects need to be handled up soon. Still on track, I think.
March huh? Can't wait for the Twilight DVD to come to Singapore! I'm going to buy it straight away, as a collectible. The chances are, I won't be watching it too often.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be truthful, I can hardly stand Robert Pattinson's face. Guess I belong in the small minority of fans who don't like him.
But, my tolerance for him has grown since the second time I watched Twilight.
About another thing, I'm Team Edward and Team Taylor. I'm aware that there are 5 teams now: Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Switzerland, Team Taylor and Team Robert.
I was on Team Edward at 1st. But along came Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob. I guess I can be considered Team Switzerland now. I still leaning towards Edward though.
But I'm definitely Team Taylor. I don't like Pattinson. Period. So, on screen I'll be supporting Taylor while on the books, it's Edward and all the other characters.
*Speaking of characters here*
Given a choice, I will choose Edward over Jacob. Not because he's rich and good-looking. But because his personality suits mine better. I'm not a fun person to be with, not an extrovert, etc. Jacob will probably be bored to tears. But having the above criteria do helps, albeit a little. Not to mention, Edward is sensitive and a thinker, which is like me.
Also, I like "old-fashioned". I think my taste of music will clashed with his though. Come to think of it, I've not met a person who shares the same taste of music as mine, which is "oldies", 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s music hits.
However, there's a saying that says 'people with the same personalities will clashed with each other.' Maybe I need someone to balance me out. 'Like a personal sun to chase away the clouds.'
With either of them, if I'm the imprinted or "soul mate", then I guess nothing else really matters.
Yeah, I'm putting this entry on the thread on twilightlexiconblog.com.
