once again, i am convinced how lawyers and judges earn their keep. sure, it is ardous and difficult to study law but one BIG factor what sets law people apart: they use unnecessarily long and grammatically confusing sentences to daunt, taunt and haunt you!
first, the long weirdly phrased sentence daunts u.
then u can almost hear it sneering at you and taunting you.
and finally, because you had such trouble understanding it, it haunts you.
and the whole vicious process starts again with the next sentence.


take this for example:
under the observance of a company's memorandum and articles of associaton, it appears that not every breach of a company's memorandum or articles renders the act in question void. as explained by Mellish LJ in MacDougall v Gardiner:
... if the thing complained of is a thing which in substance the majority of the company are entitled to do, or if something has been done irregularly which the majority of the company are entitled to do regularly, or if something has been done illegally which the majority of the company are entitled to legally, there can be no use in having a litigation about it, the ultimate end of which is only that a meeting has to be called, and then ultimately the majority gets its wishes ... of course if the majority are abusing their powers, and are depriving the minority of their rights, that is an entirely different thing, and the minority are entitled tocine before this court to maintain their rights; but if what is complained of is simply that something which the majority are entitled to do has been done or undone irregularlym then I think it is quite right that nobody should have a right to set that aside ... except the company itself.



i don't know about you, but i took 3 tries to understand that.


or maybe i'm just dumb.

a great song that i can't resist to post


Norah Jones - Turn Me On
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on


Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on


My poor heart, it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all, you are the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on


My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on



ohmy.. this is such a great song to slow dance to.
i've never been a particular fan of norah jones.. i once had a copy of her album but i didn't really like it. i only started to like her song by song after some time.
don't know why - i was particularly attracted to the lyrics, especially the line my heart is drenched in wine. 6 words but they expressed so much meaning.
turn me on - first heard it on 'love actually' but i've only started to listen to it recently. totally nice song.


on another note, sometimes i wonder why i do some stuff for. will others do the same for me?
oh well it boils down to logical and emotional reasoning i guess? people do things in hope that if it happens to them, others will do the same for them.
me, i return favours. yeps that's it.

went clubbing last night after a loooong hiatus. it's been what, 6 month hiatus. haha i cant believe it either. supposed to go mos but the rest who were in there said that mos was boring and all of them wanted to head down to the good ol' zouk. so hy and i headed down to zouk after our share of poison at dbl o.
alrite la, last nite was pretty fun dancing with hy, meng, addy, lian n rox. rumour has it that half the smu population was down at zouk too. hahaha.
feels good to groove to the beats once again *grins


today had AMT meeting over dinner. the variety of food at changing appetites was so much that i seriously can't make up my mind what to eat. haha!


ok this aftnn i was talking to someone (the only one i told some stuff abt lms to):
A: ever since i knew tt, i gave up alr... i think i even sent out negative snarling signals HAHAHA
B: hahahahahaa hmm..likely.. i can imagine
A: hahahaaa. my fren said i did. she said i sometimes give him a certain look when i talk to him HAHAA. but i didnt realise. i think its my "ok im damn irritated with u" look.
B: ahahahah. i so can imagine!


actually i can imagine that look on my face too.


someone sing me something new please. something new and exciting. i think i can't take it anymore.

changed the pics again.


today i was just wondering... why in the world does politics exist? so that i have a justified reason to be mean to u and you have a justified reason to snarl at me? what is that for? why make things so complicated?
but sadly, politics are here to stay and we just gotta swim or sink in it.


margaret once said in an email to us..
"Students make such a beautiful force; energetic, innovative, and most importantly, uncorrupted by personal agendas. This is how it should be, which is why I have always steered you away from narrow, self-serving attitudes. There is more than enough time to enter the ugly arena of life, so stay pure while you can."


marge, u are wrong. students can be corrupted by personal agendas. in fact, we all are corrupted by personal agendas. it's just a question of how much we choose to show it.


i dislike politics. so sometimes i will pretend and act as if it doesn't exist. sometimes, it works cos it helps to dissipate tension (what an irony - having someone act as thou the tension doesn't exist to dissipate that tension). sometimes i just keep quiet. but politics is a whirlwind - it draws u in despite your best efforts to avoid it. which brings me to my conclusion -


i dislike politics. but i will play it all the same.
(after all, isn't acting as if nothing happened a form of playing politics too)

kelvina: happy valentine's day babe! sorry i've been so busy that i couldn't talk to you more. but know that in my heart, u do hold a special place. meet up soon eh!
yvonne: happy 6 years of friendship (and definitely counting)! thanks for tolerating my nonsense (and vice versa!) and for everything we shared over the 6 years. (and thanks for the tips for audit midterm hehehe)
hui ying: by an unexpected turn of events (at least it felt unexpected to me), our friendship got stronger this year. and i really, really like it a lot a lot. i've said it before, smu is different without you. thanks for the talks, the rides and certainly the laughter! i look forward to alot more eh!
ray: thanks for always tolerating all my shit, for holding my hands when i am down, laughing with me when i am happy and basically, being the friend who never fails me. (and you know out of the 5 of us, i always have a softer spot for you la!)
paik: what can i say... thanks for the rose! forever sweet to everyone la u. and this is also to the rest who has a part in getting the rose!
edwin: for being the thing that keeps me firmly anchored to the ground. someone who laughs at me and with me, someone who is so similar yet in a way so different from me and ofcos, someone who never fails to make me happy just by a simple "hey". happy v day, twin!
hongyi: happy v day dearie! the original 4 shall resume our yearly trip next year!
youyi: if u are reading this, i really hope that you are not too bothered, disturbed or worse, traumatised (highly unlikely la hor!) by whatever i've said to you before. u're a great friend and will always be one. happy v day!
LN, edmund & anna: for simply being the people i know i can always lean back on and trust. meet up more ah! =)


ok i think that's about it.


past few days been talking about handover. been chatting with jem soh more these days and it's really nice to get to know him on a slightly deeper level. well when someone become mr p, i hope to be able to see another side of him, esp since we'll be working closely then.


spent a bit of time talking to leonard during ethics class today and what else, talk about "work" lor. mostly speculating about convoc'06. and i definitely gained some insights. oh well we shall see la.


i feel very disjointed now. finally managed to catch my breath. midterm break starts. time to play catch up.

i went for some behavioural study, then to osl, then to salsa class today. kinda enjoyed myself even though the looming thought of ltm learning journal and audit mid term is at the back of my head. i think i'm going to be so so screwed. helpppp!

this is a totally meaningless post.


and so it is, shorter story
no love, no glory
no hero in her sky
and so it is, just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is, the colder water
the blower's daughter
the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off you
can't take my eyes...
oh did i say that i loathe you
did i say that i want to leave it all behind...
i can't take my mind off you
can't take my mind off you
i can't take my mind.....

YEEEAAAYYYY


patron's day is OVER! OVER OVER!!!!! it was pretty alright in the end thou i must say.... DOING REGISTRATION SUCKED! bahhhhh. i don even get to see the float that i helped build for our mardi gras parade. stupid tim. hahaha!
building the float is a one of a kind experience. i really feel the bond between all of us. its above being a CCA, it's being a family.
so over here, let me play tribute to all who contributed towards BE's winning float - u all ROCK BIG TIME (sorry la i wanted to name everyone but realised it will take forever). the late nights, the pizzas, it's worth it. cos now we have $1000 in club funds! wooooot!
and to wanida kok my bitching partner - thank goodness i have her. though we probably accumulated enough bad karma to last us 3 months but..... who cares?! thanks, kok!
and tabula rocked the rock concert last nite.. the lead vocalist is cuuuute (though hui ying doesnt agree with me... as usual)! my whole body is aching from jumping to the songs and the mambo party thingy after the rock concert.


finally had some beer after last nite's event, after not having a single drop during grand opening... i must say, stella artois is really good!
beer makes people relax and less inhibited.. do things we normally wont do. like sitting on a goods trolley with keng zhiyang and having gerard push us down the slope at the concourse area. like not having enough sense to brake in time and crashing into the boards at the end of the slope, making a hole in the board. wahhahaaa! oh, and like allowing jiaxing to paint my nails yellow and red when he know nuts about manicures. my fingernails on my right hand are gross now cos i cant remove the nail polish under my nails n on the cuticles! gahhhhh! some of my nails are yellowish now.. it looks as though i'm a 2-pack-a-day smoker man.


ok note to self: no more events for now! must concentrate on getting my readings back on track! gpa cannot drop!!!!


when i was at my utmost busiest yesterday, some messenger from some CCA came by to deliver me a message from some anonymous person:



(message: "Jiahui, so hardworking.. don't forget to relax and be less of a school resident...") like huh??? never sign off somemore. i love the school leh, cannot ah???


that being said, i must say that orange rose looks good actually.. very striking!



sigh meng leaving already. jenn left already. i will miss them. osl will be so different without them.....
but geraldine pang, convoc staff oic sounds good! haha!


ok sighs come to think of it, this is seriously one of the first valentine's day where my plan was really to just get home and sleep. thinking back to last year................. right yeah.
i've been feeling hung over for the whole of today. doesn't help that i had 3 classes today.
i wonder how i'm going to read my audit and do my ltm learning journal now. i'm dead tired.

2) never assume people who are relatively inexperienced are smart enough to use microsoft word to edit their scripts.
3) never do something that you know is unproductive.

hmmm i think i am going thru that phase again.
u know, that phase where i will feel inexplicably tired, unknowingly lethargic and the package also comes with an unexplainable feeling of down heartedness and sadness.
it's a lethal cycle.. never fails to happen. gahhh. life is bad sometimes.


was listening to jessica simpson's "i wanna love you forever" just now. reminds me of some US figure skating showcase i watched on tv long long ago. jessica simpson was singing live at the arena while some girl skated to the song. it was simply beautiful. because of that performance, i started watching figure skating for some time. and the one who never fails to take my breath away is michelle kwan. she is so graceful on the ice, it's a joy to watch her skate. even though younger, prettier and technically competent skaters like sasha cohen came on the scene, michelle kwan still remains the most graceful skater for me.


it's funny and so nice how we're easily happy when we were younger.

yet more random thoughts:


talked to ms M yesterday and she was mentioning T and doing so many things/events to seek glory. it sounded as if seeking glory was something bad. but what's so wrong about seeking glory? if by having 'glory' as ur target spurs u to give your best and fulfill your responsibilities well, then i see no wrong in it. as long as you don't claim credit for something you didn't do, and as long as u don't harm anyone along the way, then i see not much wrong in it. we all do things in order to get some form of recognition. right?


i'm writing my script now for thursday. feel a bit apprenhensive stepping back up on stage. hope it goes well. ms Y commented that i have a fulfilling uni life.. thanks. i would like to think so too. just have to keep reminding myself not to bite off more than i can chew.


chatted with mr L today and i realised it's been some time since i've had a good, nonsensical chat with him. ever since that fateful day. alright la, it felt normal.


been talking to ms H more these days. it's almost like rekindling a flickering flame and it feels good. i never wanted that flame to flicker in the first place. i'm glad it's gaining illuminity now.


my friends have been asking me about the fortune cookie note i stuck to the keyboard of my laptop.. well in a way, it's a message to myself i guess? i find it eerily true in fact. be true towards others, it might help expand your social group. haha.


my mind's forking out in so many directions, i'm at a lost as to what i want to write about.
ok actually that means that i simply lost track of what i wanted to say.


audit mid term next week. after patron's day on the 13th, i swear i'll spend the remaining of the week studying for my midterm.


somehow at the back of my mind, i just wanted 1 chance and 1 shot at it. what? at elusiveness. it can get pretty draining thinking about it so i guess i shall not start.
times like these, i feel so glad that sometimes, exhaustion overtakes me and i simply fall into slumber.


i was just hearing the avts' rendition of "fixing a broken heart" sung back in our old recording studio in the bukit timah campus.. my goosebumps all stood up, but in the good sense.


it's no wonder after so long, my ultimate fave song is still coldplay's "yellow".
i swam across, i jumped across for you
oh what a thing to do
cos you were all 'yellow'
i drew a line, i drew a line for you
oh what a thing to do
and it was all 'yellow'
it's true, look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you, look how they shine for...
look at the stars, look how they shine for you
and all the things that you do

i fell in love with chris martin over this song sighhhhh.
i'd kiss the guy who sings this for me with everything i can give. but sadly, there's no face to such a guy now.

don't assume i do not know anything; don't assume i'm ignorant.
just because i don't say anything or just because i don't give a reaction to you doesn't mean i don't know and i don't care.
well maybe i don't care for now but i'm definitely think that it just isn't a right time for me to take any action.
"It would be a mistake to think they are indifferent deep down. For their embers, rarely cool. It is much safer to assume they are biding their time until the right moment comes to enter the game and rig the dice in their favor."


i have been hearing alot of things recently. on different stories, and from 2 sides of the same story. sometimes the 2 sides are polar differences from each other, which always leads me to think how much of each side is true. and reminds me of something greg house (hugh laurie's character in 'house') always says - everybody lies.
including me.
(and i can probably come up with some ethical theories telling u why lying is wrong and also why lying can be justified HAHA)


i'm lagging in my readings as usual.
patron's day beckons and my readings beckon even louder.

when nothing changes, when nothing seems to change, when u want things to change so badly... what do u do?


do u seize the initiative n start the change? nah, u're no longer into initiating anything too much anymore.
do u sit around n groan about it? hmmm that's an idea. except that nothing will change.
do u tell yourself to hang on and wait cos if u hold on long enough, things might just change? hmmm that's an idea too. except what if things never do change? or things take too long to change? u'll probably get sick of waiting.
do u tell urself that u've had enough - stop it and move on. now that's the idea. the best option of all.


of cos, it really depends on what kind of character u have. if u're a carpe diem kind of person, then u'd be scorning at me right now. but if u're a self-doubting, weak-minded, half-lost kinda person, u'll probably find agreement with what i've just said.
if the 15-yr-old me saw the 20-yr-old me, i'd scorn too.


oh well. carpe diem. seize the day!

just alot of random things coming up.


i finally got hold of the "we love smu" tshirt. thanks to meng! and yes, i have got 10 smu shirts and only the pow wow tshirt is a good fit. the others are all big. i should request for xs next time. i shudder though. me, xs? what a joke! hope my 11th shirt will be one that fits. hahaha.


we all had fortune cookies at osl.. mine read "be true towards others, it might help expand your social group". my goodness, i'm freaking out. i think fortune cookies are pretty accurate now.


had my first presentation of the term on thurs - segmentation, targeting and positioning in marketing. huge wave to my mktg grp mates jonny, chao, christine, helene and vida..



christine, zhichao, jonny, helene, me and vida.. the marketeers!


finally finally submitted my ethics essay on friday. hope i didnt go out of point. i really wrote it in a personal tone to hopefully make up for my lack of content. show and tell for ltb went fine.. i must say that i am the biggest TA slacker ever. hahha. left immediately after the evaluations ended to go for ACF investiture. acutally i only caught the very last part of Lian's speech. but it's good to see everyone again. the food and the cake was fantastic too!


went to raffles city starbucks with jonny, gayle, wanida and hui ying to chill after the inves. had a superbly hilarious time. it's seriously damn thereupatic to shriek helplessly over coffee. laughing over people and the things that can happen. we were laughing so darn hard. laughed till i teared and had a hoarse throat.
[to jonny, gayle, wanida n hy: no i DID NOT wake up with puffy eyes and lips and sore throat WAHAHA!]


then went down meet up with the rest of the GO/acf comm at holland v.. talked over drinks and then went down to al-ameen for supper..


finally managed to sleep in late on sat.. had wanted to go see a doctor about my foot but by the time i woke up at 3pm, i think the doc's closed for the weekend. slacked around at home watching anime (shucks i shd be reading my comp law and audit!). then zhiyang and ford came to pick me up to go over to breko's at holland v.. eventually met up with huiying, adeline, meng, lian and tim there too. not bad.. managed to eat non stop, drink non stop and talk almost non stop while watching soccer at the same time..
(tim says we abandon him when zhiyang, ford, huiying n me left ahahaha!)


went to my cousin's wedding solemnisation ceremony.. my goodness he got married at 25! scary! but it was also nice in a way la. i'm so happy for them.


finally went back to the steering wheel after the long hiatus. feels great. more soon in the battle for the right to drive. i wanna take the baby out alone some time!


i heard some disturbing rumours and interesting stories over the past few days. so disturbing. i dont believe that all of them are true, just that i really wonder what kind of people started them and what intentions they have. malicious? spite? or reliable? but still i dont believe that all of the rumours are true.

once again, my fingers find me typing here again though i have no real reason to come here today.


just that once again, stupid girls do stupid things. stupid girls fail to stick by their convictions and they sway from side to side in the struggle to maintain the centre of gravity that keeps them falling overboard. stupid girls indeed.


ethics essay down
darn hungry now
needs sleep now


I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away

went for my salsa class today and oh man, the spins are seriously enough to kill me. i gotta work on my spins - my frame and a faster footwork.
now i know.. we should just stick to our specialisations, and mine belongs behind the stage, not on it. ahahahaha!


to the one person who will understand what i am going to say (yes YOU, ms B) - i've dropped the idea. simply because it wasn't my style in the first place.
as in.. i think i was simply taken in by the power and the decisiveness that happens to come along with it and to take things into perspective, it wasn't a good basis and it wasn't a good move. yups, that's that and let's move on again hahahah!!!


basket.. esther just msged me to tell me that she exceeded the word limit for the ethics assignment when i havent even started mine.. crap i havent even gotten past the 1st bloody article on kantian and rawlsian and utilitarian and what-have-you. this is real bad.


the future looks bleak once again.


lift me up, just lift me up don't make a sound
let me hold u up before you hit the ground
see all come, you say you're alright
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
and when you find out who you are, too late to change
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time
don't give me up
don't give me up tonight
soon nothing will be right at all, salvation
cause when you find out who you are, too late to change
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
every little thing you wanted all the time
this time, every little thing you wanted all the time
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away

from finickyfeline's blog on scorpions:
(i think i've posted this before too.. just that reading it on another person's blog gives me the opportunity to feel reflective again)


this is an excellent website for a lot of scorpio stuff.. and these are the points i relate to the most:


"However, they also use other people for their own ends and if anyone crosses them, they can be very vengeful.."
"They choose their commitments carefully, especially to people. They select a small circle of friends who stay theirs for life."
"Scorpio’s are fascinating, but not always easy or likeable. They can be insensitive to people they consider less capable than themselves. They go straight for the jugular and heaven help those who cross their path at a bad time."
"An important clue to understanding them is to realize they trust no one, not even themselves. And because they mistrust, they become fanatically self-protective and secretive about their feelings."
"It would be a mistake to think they are indifferent deep down. It is much safer to assume they are biding their time until the right moment comes to enter the game and rig the dice in their favor."
"It may be their pride that stops them reaching out and asking for sympathy, or perhaps they simply feel mean and nasty and prefer to keep their secrets to themselves."
"The Scorpio woman is intensely private, discrete and secretive. Soon she will learn everything about you, but later you will realize that she hasn’t given you many details about herself - that’s Scorpio’s natural reticence."
"The operative word to best understand a Scorpio is "passion"." (my note: i swear by this word, btw. what is life without passion???)
"Scorpions like power. If you've got it, you're ahead of the game."
"Scorpio is the first sign to be aware of the heights and depths of the universe. Feeling the relative nature of all things, it will freely declare there is no difference between good and evil, and be misunderstood as a result. Scorpio sees living as a series of deaths and resurrections, and instead of trying to avoid these experiences it will plunge into them headlong in order to experience the revivification that results. On an ordinary level, this manifests as Scorpio's fondness for living intensely. Nothing is to be done superficially. Obviously, Scorpio is a dramatic sign, one that loves emotion even while it appears pained by its own experiences. It is better for Scorpio to feel bad than to feel nothing."
"Like the other water signs, Scorpio is sensitive and easily hurt by others, but unlike Cancer and Pisces, Scorpio will fight, often fiercely, when hurt."
"When Scorpios try to communicate what they see, understand, or feel, they are often badly misunderstood. They then tend to keep silent because the misunderstanding that results from silence is better than the misunderstanding that comes from failed communication."


not all scorpion traits are mysterious and annoying and demanding though. i for one, appreciate honesty and though i can be intensely private, i do strive towards and long for honesty and openness on my part too.


i think this entry has gone on long enough. i had wanted to write about another issue but i shall shelve it for now. ethics assignment beckons. salsa class later. marketing meeting later. back to work.
