am in the library now.. chatted with some ppl last nite n somehow, it got me thinking again..

do u know i think of you?
no i guess u dont cos sometimes i don even realise i'm thinking of u. u are an asshole but yet when ppl talk abt certain topics, i think of u. why did i have to meet u? was it a good thing? u made me so bloody confused n upset when it ended. in a way i know nothing could have happened but.. i dont know. u pop up in the unlikeliest of times that sometimes, it surprises even me. i don wanna think of u anymore. yet there are times when i wonder was it really a bad thing i met u that day. or would things have been different if i had reacted differently? i'm too tired to think now.

it is proven: stats class on a saturday does no one any good. wth, for the whole 3 hrs of lesson, i think i only listened properly for a grand total of... 30 mins! rest of the time, i was trying to concentrate, trying not to zone out, trying not to fall asleep... which wasnt successful at all if u can infer well enough). bahhh..

went for geekout last nite.. didnt catch most of the geekout programme thou..
but i really got way too high last night. almost totally gone le. so its true that u shouldnt mix beer with hard liquor. cos i drank beer, then a flaming, long island n a drink that tasted like barley water but is so damn potent. i seriously cant remember a lot of things i said last nite.. can remember ln practically dragged me out of phuture, me clinging on to ray for a lot of support, anna and huiying in the toilet with me and yes, i remember going to the toilet A LOT of times haha. where's edmund? and xiangrun? as seh as i am haha. and i remember talking nonsense to uhm, some of my og mates, nick wee and i think russell hahha. and i remember i kept forgetting leonard and de chao's names. sheesh.
we all left zouk at 1+ cos the music wasnt good and some of us were so seh liao.. went to adams food centre to 'chill down' instead.. i remember sleeping in the cab on the way home.. thx ray. hope u really didnt get leg cramp haha.

its a funny feeling to get drunk. it feels 'good' in a way but u know its bad for u. bahhh. but dont think i'll do it again anytime soon.. wanna concentrate on studies le.. had an unwritten pact that the next time we go clubbing, it'll be after the exams le (ha. ha. lets see if we can keep it)..


and GRRRR i've been stuck on the same 3 QM qns for 3 hrs+ le.. piangz they are killing me. slaughtering me. sapping all my energy. bahhh.
tmr the whole weekly cycle starts again.
and for now, its back to QM. la di dum~

-no strings attached-
i realised its something i'm getting really good at. and i think it is a double edged knife. for obvious reasons. at least to myself.
i musnt let myself be trapped in it. and looking at it from another angle, i musnt indulge myself in it. see why i call it a double edged sword?

-self deceiving-
its something scary that i've been noticing. i hope it doesnt consume me. i hope it spares me even. i dont want to get into that bad and sickening habit. it wont do myself any good. no it wont.

had a v interesting ltb lesson yesterday! we had a discussion on teams. the dynamics, the advantages and the problems.. and it was really interesting. unlike some cases where ppl 'fight' to talk, those in my class actually do talk sense and... it was nice. then we went to the lower quad to have some activities! hahaa what a funky lesson..
went for gourmet club n be after lessons.. was quite alrite la. super tired after everything ended.. (oh btw edwin, ur sms was the one tt woke me up. sort of. haha.) then ln drove me home. thanxxx dude..

had driving today! i. just. love. driving. its just such a fantastic feeling and i'm really beginning to feel at ease behind the wheels. i just need more practice! hey in fact, the constant stopping-going when i'm stuck in jams, which i thought was really damn traumatic n scary, is alright for me now! in fact, they felt kinda natural. haha. must boast while i still can! and mr lim also said that i'm getting more garang than bain n hongyi behind the wheels le!
spent like 3 hrs trying to understand my QM and do my assignment. and guess what? i finally know how to use excel to do my linear programming!! 3 cheers!!! downside is.. tt's only chap 3. i havent gone thru chap 4. but managed to huff n puff my way thru the 3 qns for chap 3. bahhh. it sapped my energy totally.. studying on a friday aftnn/nite? last time i checked, i was taking my A levels when i did that.. :(

decided that i cant take in any more info le.. and i havent read auro's notes for my stats lesson tmr! (yesh yesh stats on a sat.. it sux totally) think i will read it tmr morning.. gotta relax now :)

I'm looking out the window
where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking at the same side of the moon

I picture across the ocean
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ears
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

"Same Side Of The Moon" ~ Corrinne May

I rest my head
Between the bed and sky
Download my dread
Disarm my mind, make it dry

Nothing in motion, and I'm satisfied
No disappointment, until I wake up
Don't want to wake up

Into clear space
Vivid vision, see her shape
At my bedside, beam up my mind please

"Until I Wake Up" ~ Dishwalla

anw yup, went to changi airport at 6.30am yesterday to send chengsi off.. she's going to UC-Berkeley to study.. there was quite a number - me, lingling, huiying, joycelyn, another gal, tanny and janice. the farewell was filled with nonstalgia and excitement at her journey ahead but also, it was filled with a hint of sadness - sadness that she's going to be separated from us. there was one time when i really thought she would be going to smu after all.. but guess subconsciously i knew she would leave for the states cos she really wanted to do nutritional science.
when she was abt to leave for the departure gates, tears flowed, esp from her family. her sis, her grandma and even her maid were crying so freely. and when each of us got her turn to hug her goodbye, emotions were just brimming.. i was almost tearing myself..

chengsi - u're a strong gal and i know u'll cope somehow but pls know that i'm praying for the best for you. pls be safe over in the states, and pls know that u are in my heart (more often than u and i both realise). good luck for your school year ahead and all the best in your studies.. got time must tag more, lemme know u still remember me okay! and yesh, go find a nice cute caucasian to celebrate christmas with (since u are not coming back for xmas)! *gRiNz* *hUgZ* and *mUaKz*

oh man i think i'm going to miss her much more than i realise.. *tear drop*

i finally finished reading my FA textbook and did my grammar profile (which i tot was bloody hard btw) yesterday. AND AND i got my QM. been reading stuff from the 1st lesson and i actually do understand it after like 2 or 3 tries.. heehee. slowly slowly ba.. got my textbk liao n now i'm really trying to keep my QM.


anw, had dinner outing with 10-4 last nite at chomp chomp!! what a woot! it was just fantastic hanging out with them =) those present were me, david, qilin, victor, jennifer, rosaline, shuli, ashwin, huiwen and shihui. we had A LOT of food.. if i remember correctly: (all shared) 2 servings each of fried kway teow, fried oysters, stingray, sotongs, chicken wings, a plate of fried hokkien mee each and goodness knows how many sticks of satays. and someone ordered huge glasses of sugarcane and even a bottle of tiger.. wahahaa and ashwin was happily eating and commenting that singaporean food is very good.. indeed! neng chi shi fu sia! ooh i just enjoying eating out with people who can appreciate good food! yum!
then after dinner, david suggested going bowling at some club thingy that he was a member of. haha havent bowled in donkey yrs sia.. had a eh, "decent" score of 80+ and even managed one strike!
then joanna our faci came and we accompanied her to eat dinner n have supper.. ate the famous beancurd which was really almost heavenly sia..
finally split for home at nearing 11pm.. really enjoyed spending time with them sia.. how i wish my ltb can be done with them (like last yr's batch)..

talked to huiying and LN last nite.. hy and i were discussing whether to take QM or not.. and we ended up talking abt how lost we feel now, just that we show it differently.. but hey gal, kudos to u, at least u're not an irritating whiner like me. then talked to LN.. initially was abt the dumb boss system and the dropping of courses. which of cos later changed to a variety of topics which included sally the cat.. hahahaa.. OH and some funny exchanges with anna! wahahaaa.. i'm amused by her! hahaa..

anw a huge THANX to edmund, ray and anna and also a HUGE THANX to jennifer, pearlyn, huiying and LN for listening to my incessant whining and complaining.. sorrie for being such an irritating person for the past 2 days or so.. huiying and LN, thanx for being my aunt and uncle agony respectively.. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT LOTS!


met my grp for LTB today. the progress is not that bad i must say.. at least we managed to approach Pathlight home, who sounded quite interested to work with us.. and we agreed to do up on a recreational/play corner thingy. now hoping they will approve of us then we can start on our letter of intent le!
went to study with edmund after proj discussion.. read up on my QM. then went to meet ray, anna n ln for dinner (at adams again).. talked abt some interesting stuff heehee.. but i was rather tired, didnt comment much also..

kinda anticipating what qm lesson will be like.. ritez now i am going to rack my brains n try to do my qm assignment!

went for svap meeting at the inQbuzz at youth park yesterday.. meeting was alright and vanessa provided our quote for the day -- "let's not be too hard on ourselves".. oh yeah man. i like that. oh its so good seeing bain n hongyi again although didnt have much chance to talk to hy.. then we went to swensons at crown prince n gavin treated the 9 of us to earthquakes and fries. oh not 1 for everyone la haha.. then went zara to meet kelvina.. oh then i met qilin there too.. he was with his friends. and bain n kel actually commented that ql looks not bad! wahahaha. i must tell him that. shopped around with bain n kel for a while then left for ln's aunt's place..
ehh LN and ed were home le and they said i look as though i'm super comfy in the house le muahahaa.. well we do spend quite a lot time at the house mah =) ray came back a while later and a bit before our pizzas came.. hahaa 4 of us demolished almost 4 pizzas sia! it was insane. ray n i had abt 4 or 5 slices each then LN n ed had like almost 8-10 slices each i swear..
wah seh watched 3 matches last nite.. sotong vs blackburn, liverpool vs man city and man utd vs norwich.. sotong-burn match was super drama in the 2nd half man.. then there was pool-city and utd-norwich so u can imagine its a super noisy affair heehee..

woke up today to all the guys' clinging-clanging around.. they actually woke up earlier than anna and i! and anna! i didnt want to study but those 3 people were reading their textbooks and i felt compelled to study too cos i got reminded of my reolution to study hard also! so in a way, i should thank the 3 guys ya.. thanx Ray, LN and Ed!

(ooh) Is the world still spinning around (spinning around)
(ooh) I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
not a song i'll forget in a hurry.


hey all.. back home again..
hmmm lessons on thurs were a little better cos the 2 courses didnt really require me to think hahaa. got to watch a clip from 'my cousin vinny' in comms class which was quite fun. but BUT mrs lindley is taking over for next 2 lessons. oh help her voice is so wonderfully hypnotic. ltb is slack sia.. spent abt one hour self introducing, then spent the rest of the lesson playing a game abt trying to find out secrets. apparently its supposed to help team building. what a woot! but its gonna get busier n busier thou..
went to look for edmund, anna n ln after lessons.. supposedly they are studying and i am reading up on svc stuff but we ended up watching happy tree friends on edmund's laptop. super sadistic man! hahaaa..
went for SVC meeting at tiong bahru at 7pm.. meeting was alrite la.. sort of zoned out when travis was talking though.. too tired! but i still caught the gist of everything and the plans for the next 2 to 3 yrs does sound refreshing.. left the meeting at abt 9 and went back to ln's house.. uhm in short, we went to eat dinner (or rather, the guys ate) then made our way to chinablack for the ignite bash.. uhm ok, there were me, ln, edmund, ray, pearlyn n germaine.

heh saw quite a lot of smu people but didnt go and acknowledge them leh. only said hi to sue n jiahuan.. then there were these jokers who dressed in pjs and had on huge ppuppet heads.. germaine even managed to get the wings of one outfit and i managed to take a pix with the wings! heehee shall put it up when ln loads it online!
but wah seh drinks were so diluted at black! my vodka lime tasted like lime juice. the 2 shots i had were like totally no effect at all. eventually went to drink beer cos it was the only thing that wasnt diluted.. but i wasnt really high last night so it was a small miracle that germaine n pearlyn actually managed to pull me up the front podium to dance. it sure feels weird to dance there.. like i can see the whole floor n vice versa. gives u a high but at the same time, a little scary too. then we eventually got the 3 guys to join us on the podium. hahaa.. but bliv it or not, that's the first time i've danced on a podium!

a lot of ppl left at 1+ i think.. dancefloor was the emptiest i've seen leh.. ray got kinda sian and we all left at abt 2.30.. back home, its a long queue for the bathroom again.. eventually slept at 3+.. woke up nearing noon today. (eh sorrie LN, for 'stealing' your blanket.. u werent using it when i was falling aslp so i just took it from u n went back to my couch thingy mah heehee..)
oh then finally managed to catch sg idol episode 2 on ln's laptop.. its quite funny la but i think sometimes the judges were overly mean to some contestants. ("your voice is husky.. but husky is also a dog".. oh man) went to food haven to eat lunch cos ray has badminton training. then ln accompanied me to simlim to get my laptop sleeve. (hey thanx!) ultimately got a black one since that's the only colour.. where's my red colour?! grrr..

oh yeah, in my life so far, i've known 2 people who have the same birthdate as me - a pri sch fren whose name i cant remember and adriel, a guy from my vj og ikara fuego.. then i know a good friend who has almost the same birthdate - ningxia! whose bday is on 7 nov. and now, another one on 7 nov! LN! (surprise surprise) i was really surprised to know that.. yeah isnt birthdays the greatest thing? the best day of the yr (even thou mine coincided with all kinds of exams during my past 12 yrs of education)!

tmr got svap at youth park then gonna watch epl again! yay! (watching) soccer rox! =)

went for BE yesterday.. hmmm dunoe if i should join leh.. its not exactly my very favourite thing to do but its something new nonetheless.. den went to have dinner/supper with LN, ray n anna at adams food centre. nice food hahaa!

had a lousy day in school today.. felt so damn sleepy throughout the whole day. started with stats A at 0830 n i only barely managed to stay awake. so relieved when lessons ended! went to verts to get my 2nd hand stats textbk. then met ln n edmund for lunch.. sat in with hy for QM class but we left halfway.. accompanied tt gal to CIT to get her tablet fixed n i actually fell aslp in there! and when i woke up, guess who was next to me? dt! like urgh! (if u wanna know who dt is, pm me) hah.. den went library to find my og mates. gosh their mugging capability scared me. i'm like the only one who keeps falling asleep while they were preparing for lessons! *help* had financial accounting at 1530. man, its a a tough subject. i spent the majority of the lesson trying to keep up n now i still dont really get it.. AND its only my FIRST lesson. *help* i MUST go n get my FA text like now!

whoever said SMU is slack? look at my state man.. i'm scared. tmr there's communications competencies n strategies in the morning and leadership n teambuilding in the afternoon. sure hope its gonna be a better day tmr!

*kel> miss ya!!
*bain darling> miss ya lots too!!
*joyce> hope ur CAs were fine.. n meet up soon again!
*cheng> i wanna see u again b4 u go away!!
*edwin> heehee i keep thinking abt the maroon5 n jet cd eh! *gRiNz*
*anna> be happy!!
*ray> dont worry dude.. there is another lost sheep around.. ME! we must jia you n mug hard together k!!

stayed over at ln's house last nite with ln, ray, edmund n eventually anna who came back at 1+.. was really nice watching soccer with them. hah.. arsenal vs everton, it was ln n ray who were screaming at the tv cos they put their money on arsenal to win.. and arse-nal did win 4-1.. man utd vs chelsea.. it was edmund n my tun to scream at the tv.. what an ass of a goal conceded by tim howard. total ass. grrr. horrible clown-ish goalkeeping. bahh..

had our convocation yesterday.. was a glammed-up event haha.. with everyone dressed in white tops n black bottoms and ties for the guys n scarves for the gals. the speeches were a little boring sia.. the tribute to ron frank was good thou.. they used frank sinatra's "my way" for the video. how apt! haha.. but i still fell asleep during the chancellor's speech. qilin, who was sitting beside me, was amazed by my ability to fall asleep just like that man. hahaa.. and yeah i wasnt the only one k.. was talking to ln who was also sleepty thru sms. quite funny sia. left the hall when ground zero started performing. that band, for its hype, was alright only la.. changed out of my formal wear den left with ln, ray n edmund..

wah seh the 3 guys were damn mean yesterday k. n poor me was their inevitable target.. *bleah* anw ln drove us to plaza sing, went to some restaurant thingy and had dinner.. then watched liverpool vs tottenham! woohooo.. 1st match of the season! feels good to watch soccer again! we were joined by pearlyn, germaine, kianseh n zhenchang.. nice small crowd. match ended 1-1 so u can imagine the colourful language spewed by ln when tottenham equalised muahahaaa.. went to ln's house after the match ended.. played mj! yeah so long nv play le.. played one full round which was really quite comical cos ray got really cranky (must be the beer sia) n did funny stuff man.. buay tahan! n guess what? the rest of us actually joined in.. comical leh.. left ln's house at 1+..

oh yeah, we were saying, when the guys wore their white shirts n black pants, they can look like a variety of charaters:
1) executives (but only if they're alone)
2) waiters
3) carpark attendants
4) security guards / body guards
5) pallbearers
6) gang members
hahaaa.. i like the one abt gang members.. reminds me of hk gangs n of cos the gangs in 'all in'.. cool cool!

back from pow wow! heh i had fun!! all thanx to my grp 10-4! so HUGE thanx to my grp mates for making pow wow a camp to remember!! here goes.. joanna the bestest facilitator around, shihui, huiwen, esther chong, esther lau, rosaline, jennifer, shuli, sandy, victor, qilin, david n ashwin our international student from india! we're already making plans to meet up real soon.. hope we'll stay in touch! and in honour of what kept us together.. "we will.. in the name of friendship.. ten-four!"

1st day, painting of flags.. lemme explain my grp name. we were really hungry when we were trying to think up a grp name so we just used 'hungry'.. supposedly hungry for success etc. then just use hungary's flay as design. actually first day we were really sian half, right from the start of the $30k guy's lousy games and the teambuilding games in the afternoon.. poor joanna (our ogl) was practically tearing her hair out cos we were rather un-enthu..

but then everything changed in the 2nd day.. the cluedo game thingy got us started.. thanx to qilin who knew the botanical gardens like the back of his hand.. had a nice time talking to different people when we were walking to our various locations to get clues n stuff.. then telematches were really really fun.. we had gReAt fun! particularly remember our relay race and our painting thingy.. cos jennifer and i went to do the banana thing. gosh i have never eaten such a huge banana so damn quickly before. whole banana gone in 3 or 4 bites. my grp was like 'woah'.. hahaa.. me n jenn power sia! then for the painting, we had to use our knees to paint n it was really quite difficult. so basically we just tried to make 'knee prints' on the guys then later faked our way explaining that 'oh this is a flower, oh this is a stick man n oh this is a bus', then trying hard not to laugh. lol..
then we decided not to cheong with others for dinner so we went to play captain's ball.. was really fun! we had so much fun that even roger our section head came over to join us.. played for abt 15 to 20 mins.. can see that everyone was really tired but all smiling silly-ly..
then at nite, we were abt to go for night walk then it got cancelled. so sickening. i was looking forward to it cos some friends told me the effects were quite real. but roger came to tell us its suspended cos apparently, one of the facilitators encountered some 'problems' in the haunted house. so for everyone's safety, they decided not to carry on.. what a waste!!
went back to do our float, which is a huge cup noodle.. amazingly, we managed to finish the float in one night! really thought its like damn difficult cos due to unforseen probs, we werent able to start on it the first night. did until 3+am den went back to federal block to zzz..

3rd day.. finished up our float.. had float parade in the afternoon.. was rather entertaining.. i absolutely liked the chunky monkey popcorn a lot! but the winners ah.. kelong sia. hor ray?? hahaa =peace=
then did the circle thingy which was alright la.. break camp at 4+ then we had a grp talk with our buddy grp 10-3.. said lots of funny things and touching things too. and john (faci for 10-3) is seriously full of shit. lol..


tmr's convocation.. the one last event before school officially starts.. gonna rock the house down! i love smu!!

then we watched singapore idol together.. hahaa the number of ppl watching sg idol is far far more than the no of ppl watching the national day parade man. sg idol.. wah sia the lemon tree guy.. n the guy who sang 'she bangs'.. cmi la. the lemon tree guy looked as thou he was dancing para para! lol.. oh n we saw fong! for all of 1 second.. dont know how he did thou but i think he's talented..

hmmmm its so good just hanging out with friends at someone's house, just talking crap n about days gone by.. wonderful feeling! so sad that cheng is leaving on a monday flight at 8am.. that means i cant go n song4 ji1 liao.. will miss ya lots babe!!!! *hugz* n *muakz*


had vivace today.. met shuli, qilin n vincent for lunch then had the scd talk. AND guess what?? the cute guy i saw at international students matriculation is in my buddy grp! ahahaaahahaaaa.. still dont know his name thou.. but half my grp knows that i think he's cute. hehheh.. apparently we will get to do our grp float together.. dunoe la. vivace was a bit extra leh.. kinda like we're using our vouchers to trade for the required stamps. but i signed up for some karaoke club thingy, motoring inc, toastmasters, floorball, badminton (yes yes i'm returning to my roots).. shall see la. got the goodie bag which was stuffed full of things like a set of shower stuff, smu towel, backpack, waterbottle, tumbler, sleeping bag etc n ooh topshop/topman voucher! oh yeah, thanx LN for giving me your topshop/topman voucher!

met ln n ray after collecting my goodie bag to buy the ignite bash tix.. then the guys suggested catching a movie. so ln drove us to his temp house at university road n i just deposited my goodie bag n sleeping bag at his house.. then we went to catch i, robot.. oh its a good show.. certainly exceeded my expectation of sci-fi flicks! i was like "oh alrite its a good show.." and the guys were like "wah its very good man!" well sci-fi has never been my fave genre..

back to blogging! hmmmm lately ppl have been saying yv n i look similar! eh... haha. my og ppl said that.. then last time ppl say kel n i look similar. looks like i have twins all around. and i'm joining SVC (student volunteers corp) thanx to bain darling's intro.. turns out that the marketing/publicity head is a 3rd yr econs student from smu. woah. anw think svc should be fulfilling ba. i kinda like the idea of going around schools to promote volunteerism. we really need more of that in our society man.

anw, went for academic briefing at smu on thrus which i thought was not very helpful lor.. stuff i already know. i thought there would be more on BOSS but no.. so decided not to stay for the biz briefing n went to town instead.. watched mean girls with yvonne.. its such a fantastically funny show! hahaaa.. the bitch in me is agreeing with the 'plastics'! hahaaa.. den we walked down orchard to tanglin n back to kill time.. went to have the chicken rice at lucky plaza.. nice! den we went to meet my og group at marche! hahaa yv crashed my grp 10-4.. hmmm caroline is in 10-3! yay one more familiar face.. for my grp, those who showed up.. me, shuli, esther, rosaline, victor n qilin. hope i remembered the names correctly. gosh im horrible at names. they seem like a fun bunch.. *whew* hope pow wow will be like.. WOW. eh...

fri..
met kel in town.. wanted to watch 'brotherhood' but tix at cine got sold out (thx to all the students flocking to town aft national day celebrations.. sigh) so we went to ps.. and the stupid guy at the counter wanted to check our ICs cos its an nc16 show! like heLLo! we look underaged meh. den he dont want to sell the tix to us cos kel nv bring ic.. damnit la.. den in the end we went back to cine to watch 'the notebook'.. sigh. went to eat/slack/stone while waiting for bain to join us.. den went mos to eat again.
the show is nice. its so touching that noah n allie are still so much in love after so long. esp noah's love for allie. was damn touched. the show was slow paced but still, a good show. a very nicholas sparks show.

today..
met kel again in town.. finally went to watch our 'brotherhood'.. my won bin! n alrite, jang dong-gun.. mymy its a very good show.. worth my $8.50.. after the show, i accompanied kel to go apply for a job at pre rouge.. den we went to bugis.. bought my white long sleeve shirt (sigh), a pair of jeans n a new bikini. spent lots of money today.. im going broke! then serene joined us.. walked around for a while den went home..

anw abt brotherhood, i love the storyline n the morals behind the show. communism vs democracy. country vs self. courage vs ambition.
what good are medals of honour if someone has to be sacrificed for it? if someone dies because of it? if someone has to die so that u can get it?
damn impactful. indeed, what good is anything if someone dies so that u can have it? how honourable is the honour if u have to kill to have it? i like this show cos it doesnt just show what normal war shows portray - the willingness n honour to die for one's country. this show deals with family love, self-sacrifice.. how someone (jang dong-gun) is willing to sacrifice so that his brother (won bin) can be discharged from fighting the war. how far someone (won bin) is willing to go to bring his brother back to his senses..
i waited 50 years for u to return.. why didnt u return? what are u doing here? why did u die here?
n i cried my eyes out during that scene.

man utd lost the champions world series thingy 8-9 on penalties to ac milan. milan's equaliser was crap la. the free kick shldnt be given in the first place. idiot crespo did a belated fall (dunoe if its a dive la cos it looked like he tripped) n ref awarded a free kick.. siao eh. but ok, just a friendly.. really good to see that the defence has improved greatly n they managed to keep out crespo n shevchenko for most of the matches!

ANW, went sentosa today with the fab 5.. shiok! met with ray, anna and edmund then we went to tanjong beach to find ln.. woah i like tanjong beach now.. not a lot of ppl around.. we get both the soccer court n the vball courts! played beach soccer with ln's frens from police.. all the matas. haha. (if cannot find them, just shout 'thief! and see who responds.. heehee). wah man all his frens' build all quite scary de.. got bodybuilders some more. urgh.
then anna and i went to tan.. think i tanned for an hr plus but not much effect cos there wasnt much of a sun! just lie down there watching the guys play vball n soccer. hmm tanning is so relaxing! then.. oh then the 5 of us went 'swimming' in the sea.. or shd i say floating.. all of them perfect eyesight la. no wonder they no issue abt dunking heads below the sea water. my poor contacts.. i've ill treated them this week!
pang seh my SA grp for the bbq thing n went to eat with ray, anna n ed at fish n co at glass house! yum! we had 2 seafood platters for the 4 of us.. wah seh eat until shuang can? so nice to eat with ppl who love to eat!

feeling quite happy now.. 2 things still bugging me but the first one abt ec is not worth my thinking so much abt it. haha this issue i already xiang3 tong1 le so its not as irritating le.. now the other issue.. no strength to think abt it now also. shun4 qi2 zi4 ran2 ba.. i'll be a contented gal for now.
