My Elmo family story...

For elmo and his friends...

I thought about many things this week. Mainly on financial issues + more financial issues. Everyone seems to have a plan for the future while mine seems so vague and so unclear. I can't see myself yet because I do not seem to have a plan. I seem to not do what I read/preach. People ask me how/why and I can tell them how yet I have not started.

This is a promise made to myself : I give myself till before school starts. Everything must be done up. What supposed to be read must be read. What needs to be covered must be covered.

Uncle Simon's mom just departed. This is always the case when it is coming to the month of June. Why so? It always makes me feel very uncomfortable. =( I hope Daddy and Mommy can give him the comfort he needs.

This week has been extremely packed. I am back to SG for 1 week already but my mind is still in bkk. I learnt to appreciate the different living style and culture in bkk. The people there are very friendly and they like people to smile and when you smile, they will give you better discounts. I spent quite a bit there but it was very very worth it considering what I bought. I have yet tally how much I have spent there and I bought too many things to be named. Haha. But it's really good buy. I want to go again, but not so soon. Need to save $ first.

Attachment is super cool. I learnt to link worksheets and it's super tedious. Link the wrong cell can die. Boss is very nice and I think he's just 10 years older than me. Wahahaha. He's like a brother rather than boss. Most importantly, he's patient and I try to understand my tasks. I like this coy bcoz it's really huge and the people there seems friendly but at times when they are stressed, they can look super unfriendly. I have learnt to ignore whether "they like me or not" coz seriously, sometimes I try to smile at them but either they didn't see it or they simply pretend. -___" Oh ya, I love to play wii. Hahahaha.... SSssssHhhhh...

Ok, I met up with JT, Anna and CY on friday and celebrated Jt's bday. Bought her a cake and perfume. Hahahahaa... I think JT is Gucci-crazy now. =P

Here's the picture taken on that day:

P.S. Sorry JT, I owe you a bday song. I shy la. Wahahaha.

I have always cried when I attend funerals. It's sad to see the close relatives cry over someone whom they lost dearly. This time it's my 2nd uncle. He's one who isn't very close to the family till my grandpa passed away. His operation last year was a success but his cancer cells spread. From what I read from the death cert, he also had Hep C Liver. They told me he struggled. I just feel extremely lousy that I can't be there for the funeral. I even had to lie to my grandma bcoz she will not be able to understand my plight if I told her the truth that I am going somewhere and this had been planned months ago.

Dad and he used to be loggerheads. They fight all the time. Eversince grandpa passed away, uncle came to stay with grandma and he cooked lots of nice food for the family. He was also very entertaining and I remembered seeing the bright smile on his face when he first carried his granddaughter xuanxuan. Daddy not only lost a brother but also a good friend. One who was once loggerheads, actually advised my dad how to be a good grandpa. One who shared his newspaper and had fun games with mahjong. I feel sad somehow.

Sometimes I feel very tired. Just feel that sometimes no one understands how I am feeling. I am not trying to be emo but seriously, I have tried to be what you want and compromise but I felt that I am not appreciated. I want a chance, for myself you know. After so many incidents, tho everytime it may not be the same, it just hits me the same, over and over again. That made me think whether I should leave my comfort zone. Somewhat I am a weakling. I only do what I am good at.

I really like my lalaland. It's where I can be myself without letting people know how/what I think. Nowadays I feel more emo and I hate it. =( I want to change my thinking and I know that it will not be an easy task. To change my thinking is not for others but for myself. To make myself happier coz I really feel so tired of thinking and thinking and more thinking.

Am I making sense?

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:22:14 GMT

It has been a hectic week. I am surviving so far and I HAD BEEN Happening.

I still studied at my somewhat secret place and I still eat subway cookie.

I went out with Bro and Sis on thursday when I had a paper on friday. Wah... I must be mad. The paper was atrocious anyway so whether I did or did not study didn't really make much of a difference. When you have 4 papers where it's all open book, the people who set the papers defintitely squeeze all your brain juice and see if you can survive till the last paper. So far I survived so SORRY Lecturers, you have yet kill ME. Wahahaha. Alright ignore me and my nonsense.

Bro has been extremely interesting. Why so? Called me and ask if Mother's day has passed. -__" I think he's worse than me. I think stress makes him stupid too. It runs in the family. :x Anyway, we went out on thursday together with another couple. [yes I was the odd one out] and 4 of them talk about work and babies. Wahahahaha... It's funny when people talk about babies. You see the glow and pride albeit the frowns and sighing and you will really want to have a baby [only at that point in time, mind you].

Oh ya, I have yet talked about why bro, sis and I go out on thursday. We want to get a bag for mommy and yes, I do not need to pay but go there and select one for mommy. HA! We went to Coach and Gucci, [yes Gucci!] to buy a bag. It was my first time into Gucci and it was erm... quite a pleasant experience. The only annoying part is when you step in, no one "feels" your presence. But there was this guy who was rather friendly and he entertained me while my bro and sis went to see other handbags. We bought one eventually after searching high and low because mommy doesn't really like a bag with so few compartments. [I think we should get a diaper bag for her... like me, i like diaper bags bcoz it has so so so many compartments.] I check out sis's wallet and I shake head. Bro dotes on sis so much... BTH... I told uncle bun and he just say "I might as well buy for myself". Wahahahaa... Actually if I had the $, I would also buy one for myself rather than for him. He doesn't really appreciate such stuff. Ha! Of course Miss Pat can't afford a Gucci or LV or Coach. Oh ya, I love the Gucci paper bag. It's super durable and super TUA. Wahahahaha... I sling and walk around with them and many people stare at me. =/ They are wondering how come this girl can afford... or maybe they think "aiyah, paper bag nia". Whahahahaha... I simply love the gift box and ribbon. It's beautiful man. Mommy also super cute, ask me Gucci more exp or Bonia. -______" I think mom is really in her own world... =) I am glad mommy like the bag I choose. Hee...Anyway, the thing I enjoyed most from this trip was the dinner with my bro, sis and his 2 other friends. =)

Okay, some reasons why you want to have a baby:

When you are down, you see these pictures, it will make you smile.

When you are stress, you see these pictures, it gives you more reason to want to do your best in the exams. [Maybe i will teach him accounts one day]

When your bf bullies you, you see these pictures, you will feel so much better bcoz when you see him smile, you also will smile. [Uncle Bun doesn't bully me that much, just that once in a while, you will feel like punching him in the stomach. Wahahaha]

When you see these pictures, they remind you that working hard is important but never neglect your family.

When I see his pictures, it reminds me that I am old and I am in my 20s... Quite a sad thing but I will learn to enjoy my "auntie-hood". =)

Here's little Zepher... I hope you will also smile when you see his pictures. =)

For people who are struggling with work/school, jiayou!

I 'heart' law

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:46:36 GMT

I have been studying non-stop for 5 hours. -___" I am a sicko.

Law is fun. I want to do well for law bcoz my tutor looks like korean. So if you want me to do well, get me more "korean-looking" guys. Wahahaha...

I am so 'shame shame'. Gotta study still think of 'korean' tutor.

What's the difference between voluntary winding up and complusory winding up? Advantages and disadvantages? Procedures? People involved? What's JM and receivership? What are breach of directors duties? Who are officers? Who are promotors? When do companies need to hold AGM? So on and so forth... =(

I am pimple-ful. Pain Pain.

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:48:05 GMT

Yesterday's marketing paper was extremely horribly disgusting. 20 chapters of notes not really useful. I didn't cite many examples so that's where my marks go. =( Well, I did my best so no regrets.

I think I injure my arm. I feel a very bad strain and I can't write properly now. =( I think I must have injure it when I brought vodka to run.

I have been exploring places to study. Haahahaa... Quite fun in fact. =P

3 more papers to go and I am a free woman. I am doing tax and risk today... I must pia!

Ai pia -ah jia a~ eya~

Wahahahhaa... I don't think you know what I am writing. It's from a hokkien song. One of my favourites when I was young...

=P

A date with starbucks

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:19:49 GMT

I have been studying much more than usual. A good sign indeed. I felt that I studied a lot these days. Feel kind of horrible. Feel so stress, feel like shit. Even window shopping doesn't make me happy.

A friend writes "what are you giving up in exchange for your dreams?". Hmm... sounds very 'shen ou'. I went back to TP because I needed more opinions. I needed some guidance. I do not like what I am heading towards... I think learning is fun... studying is not... What am I saying?? It's just yi xian zhi cha, if you know what I mean...

I am studying even harder than before. I am lazy and I know very well... I am afraid of tax. I am a weakling.

=( I want to study really but heart doesn't want to listen. Shit.

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 06:53:25 GMT

Yesterday's performance was very fun. There was a total of 5 or 6 choirs. This was the first time the choir sounded so nice in Locus Iste and Sunset. I hope the composer liked our singing. =) It was enjoyable though it was super tiring and we had to put in so much committment just for an elective...

Some pictures taken yesterday....

Tuesday with Pat

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 05:02:29 GMT

It's a tuesday today. No waffles but more mugging.

I went to swim before the sky turns dark. It was nice soaking in the pool.

I am still struggling and doing my marketing notes. I got an A+ for my risk report. Hurray! So happy. Overall grade was a B+ bcoz I failed my quiz. Wahahaha...

I am working hard now. My friends are planning for a europe trip. -__" Big hole in the pocket man. I want to go vienna and venice!!!

Marketing today and law later. Hurray! I seem to like the charismatic guy too much. No worries... he's married and I don't go for married man. Wahahahaha... He's very charming indeed tho they say he's a little fat. IMO, he's not very fit la. Don't think I will say he's fat. Wahahaha...

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:17:52 GMT

The lastest pic I have of Zepher. He's so cute. HAHAAHa...

I was a good girl yesterday. I studied marketing and more marketing.

In the late noon, I went dating with Elmo daddy and we had ajisen. I had this baby octopus. =X It's cold one... It taste so sweet. At first I dare not try. In the past, uncle Tony always like to eat this... and I always "YEEEE!!!".

After taking dinner, we went to Chinatown to buy his "wu xia pian". -__" So auntie right? HAha... Elmo Daddy brought me to this cafe and I really like the ambience. We ordered drinks and we each did our own readings. Seldom do you see Uncle Bun with a book. HAAHA... I told him that if he was this hardworking in poly, then doing a degree wouldn't be much of a problem le. =X I just like to "suan" him. Some pictures I took to remember this outing... =)

HAPPY!

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:30:42 GMT

I went to SG Flyer with my family and it was very very fun. Let the pictures do the talking. =)

I always talk about my marketing mates so here is a picture. =P
Guess who is who. HahaHA

Sail Sail to LaLaLand

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 04:28:39 GMT

Yesterday I had a wonderful dinner with Elmo Daddy bcoz I ate SEAFOOD! My favourite. =P It was delicious man! Suck thumb. Hahahaa...

Elmo daddy bought me this bracelet... Super cheap man... But it's nice. =) I want indo mee. Hahahaa... He bought cereal for my mommy -__". Should have gotten the snack mah... Sian.... he also didn't get it for himself. Gong Gong fella.

Dear Pat has been a little more hardworking. 3 more chapters to go for Marketing. Hurray. Today must pia finish. =X

I miss my waffles. Argh~

Thursday I went to eat Cartel with Von and Xuan. -__" They eat so expensive de. BTH. I want my holidays soon...

A little too late... But that's Zepher

Sorry you can't bring him home. Haha. You may rent vodka if my bro allows. HAhahahaa.

All or nothing at all

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:04:50 GMT

Everything seems to be challenging now. Everyone is fighting to get that A+ and everyone is asking everyone else if they have anyone's study notes. Many are doing the "10-yr series" and hopefully the profs are around to "answer your enquiries".

I didn't managed to push away tomorrow's presentation. I am asked to do my best. The guy is weird. I pray that everything goes well and we need not go for the final round though many say "it's good, you should go for it. Presenting to one of the B4 leh. Why not man?" We have our reasons people.

Next monday is my last marketing case. It's on iPod. =) Sounds good man. Tml I will date with 4 guys. Will see my chicago guy. YaY! :p

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 11:37:23 GMT

I woke up hearing vodka bark. -__" It has been a routine. Kuku dog just refuses to stay un-excited when someone comes home. BTH.

This sem is a powerful one. We have decided to do notes for marketing and each person covers 5 chapters. Hurray! I am now doing my first chapter and it's taking me a long time. :( how horrible...

Went to Botak Jones with Wei and Von just now. Wei going to Bangkok soon and Von just came back from Rendang. I also want to go Rendang. I love beautiful sceneries. So Shiok. I also want to go tour tour tour....

We are planning rendang, cruise and bintan. Wahahahaha... =P

Risk no more....

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:00:41 GMT

I am surprised to learn that I do not have any lessons on ERM for the rest of this sem. YahOO!

I have been doing projects like mad and I am glad it's over. This week shall be "piah" week but it shall start on thurs. I am so tired. I just want somemore rest.

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:42:24 GMT

Horton movie is meant for small kids but it's pretty cute. =) Yesterday I spent my morning project-ing at kovan at 7.30am. After that piano lesson then meet Elmo daddy. Elmo daddy is fat. HA. =P

We went to PS and shopped around. Surprisingly, he didn't complain about shopping. =P I saw a hell lot of sales. My God. I love the formal mandaring colar shirts at G2k. Think I will get one. =P

Once in a while, I live in lalaLand. =) It's a place where flowers bloom with the smell of spring and the grass are fresh and green. I love such a feeling!

What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . ?

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:15:38 GMT

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined See what you think:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

Billy - age 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'

Karl - age 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'

Chrissy - age 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

Danny - age 7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.

They look gross when they kiss'

Emily - age 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents

and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

Noelle - age 7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'

Tommy - age 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'

Cindy - age 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6

Elaine-age 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'

Mary Ann - age 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'

Mark - age 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'

Jessica - age 8

studying is madness

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:44:52 GMT

ERM project was fun yet challenging. Mr Late was late for an hour today. Saturday's meeting is at 7.30am. OMG. I think they are hardcore people. But honestly, I learnt a lot from them. It's good. =)

I am thinking of staying home to study tax. I know that even if i attend tml's lesson, I will still see stars. Hmm... Should I go? I am starting to find excuses for myself... Hmm... Jialat.

I want to rest but at the same time, my mind is not resting. What's rest this way?! I need to have good rest so that I can replenish right? Ok, if I were to spend sometime outside playing, will it help? -__" Excuses again. Shit.

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:52:15 GMT

I called my mobile provider and f*** them. I think it's really too much bcoz they added services to my line when I didn't ask for it and for these few months, I didn't check my phone bill and till now I realised they happily charged me. They say "I am sorry. Could I get you a rebate off ur bill for Feb". I answered "You had better do that". Really pissed man. How can they charge to one's phone and then claim that it's free only for the first month.

Shit. It seems that these telecom companies are really money digger. I start to dislike all these telecom companies. So unethical. It's cheating people's money.

I decided to skip elective this friday. Hell, where got such thing as 6.30 to 9pm? Hello, you didn't even inform us in the first place that there's a replacement and you claim that you will "deduct" our grades should we not have good attendance. Speaking of fair, my ass! I am starting to really dislike my instructor. He's one mood swing fella like me but I think he's very much worse than me. The thing is, every tutor/lecturer/prof thinks that we only study their subject. Undergraduates are also human, mind you. It's okay to be demanding but we are not saints. I enjoyed school but sometimes I think they are kind of too much. There ought to be a limit. I know there are people out there who score all A+, takes 2 or 3 CCAs, managed some clubs and have a balanced and healthy lifestyle and they look good. But HELLO, the world out there is not as perfect. They are really capable people and I admire them but I think not everyone can be like them.

Shit, this whole entry is about my complaints. I think I am really stress. Stress with project still nvm. Now even family problems I also need to "chap". No wonder Elmo Daddy says I have a lot on my mind. I really need to de-stress. I just want to be like everyone else. Am I too greedy?

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 01:17:38 GMT

Woke up feeling shiok. Slept for 9 hours and it feels so so so good.

Marketing on monday was a kick-ass one. =P John John is really good. Hahaha...
He actually signed up for a Big 4 in Singapore and he got in. Was teasing him about the low pay as compared to the US...

Yesterday I had hardcore ERM project. We K.O. at 8pm coz we had spent at least 7 hours sitting in front of the computer. It has really tiring and this project requires us to really sit down and brainstorm... Hmm... I want this project done soon. I made friends with people in my class and it was really funny. They will be comparing how attractive the risk matrix can be. HaHa.

I dread going to my elective. This week, i have another session on friday just bcoz the lunar new year eve we do not have it. If it's fun, I don't mind. But if he were to start his scolding and throwing of temper like an asshole, sorry my face will be black all day. Hurray. Good Luck instructor. I really start to dislike you. Shit.

I want my breakfast!

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:25:07 GMT

It is a bee-zy week. This sunday is zepher's 1 mth old celebration. Gotten him very cute socks and one nice bootie from Kiddy Palace. =)

I need to work very hard from now on. Exams are here soon. 18th April is my first paper and it will end on 28th April. Attachment starts 12 May. I was told that someone received US$5000 for attachment. -__" Even WP complain. That kuku fella damn good. He was offered 2 positions in 2 huge foreign banks. This type of people deserve to be spanked.

Back to tax. I love ERM, COSO, Income Tax Act, Companies Act, FRS and Marketing text. I am greedy. I need more luck.

A mistake made

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:57:15 GMT

From now on, I shall learn to zip my mouth.

I have made several people unhappy these few days. I am sorry.

Busy Busy Busy Bee from now on.

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:13:28 GMT

Sometimes I am truly amazed at how people can hear what they want to hear or do what they want to do. Hmm... I should learn from the experts. While striving to achieve something in life is important, isn't integrity and ethical values important? Haha. Maybe there's no 'heart' to start of with. 'I will try harder' is an improvement but I only can only say 'keep trying'. Sounds so marketing. =|

I learnt to say what I want to say and I enjoyed being so straight-forward. Half the time my mom says 'you machiam shoot arrows' but seriously, I don't pretend to be someone I am not. Maybe I am born to be sarcastic. =P I must have the 'gungho attitude' as well as the 'what come may attitude'.

For people who feels tired and want to give up, please don't give up. Just keep trying. Life is about being truly happy and not faking up a 'wonderful and fruitful' life. There's no need to answer to anyone but yourself and that's important. After all, you can put up a brave front, you can challenge your beliefs but you just can't manage to lie to yourself.

I am so rubbish, so crap. It's hideous. =X

I touch my books everyday

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 09:00:26 GMT

It has been a routine. Study and more studying. Hmm... Kind of tired but as I study, I realise there's so many many interesting things around me.

I am so glad that the presentation has ended. Tutor says "A-". I am so satisfied. =) I am also glad to know that 2 of my friends managed to get into banks. Words kind of spread like wild fire. My attachment has been confirmed but not posted online yet all my friends know. -___" So kua zhang.

My projects are due soon and my law assignment still requires much research. Hmm... I need to rush out everything asap. Tax quiz this weekend. Rush for time.

I must jiayou.
