Amanda

Amanda is missing her conversations with someone.
Amanda is looking forward to the 15th of June
Amanda is preparing for her Psychology tomorrow.

Amanda realizes that falling in love with the best friend is a very cruel thing.
Amanda realizes teachers are really incredible people. *oh, Amanda is a teacher too.

Amanda knows once she gets through her paper, she would have risen up to another level. Thank God for the prayers that my members made for me.
Whats the breakthrough in your life today?

Amanda feels that exam periods are so unhealthy!
She only eat, sleep and study. *should have included exercise...

It is time to wip the body back up into shape after tomorrow!

Amanda is re-contracting for her broadband account which comes with a free Acer Laptop.
She is wondering,
is she just getting a 10mbps internet services(paying monthly) plus a free gift of a Acer Laptop?
Or
is she getting a laptop (paying by installment monthly) with free internet services at 10mbps?
Either way, I win~
Because I can claim up to 400 dollars per year for my internet services. :D


OH I love the blessing of Arise and Build!
God is faithful!

Come to think about it, Amanda has a laptop to bring along to during the holiday! :D

How to go International Business Park... Anyone?

Amanda wants to watch MoviesssSSsssssSSSSssSssss

Just heard on radio:
Newsflash: Twins of different fathers. First day with the married man, the next day the other partner. Within 24hrs. It is possible for the same egg to be fertilized twice. OH Both times Unprotected. O_O

SGD To Ringgit, 2.41
WOH~ Should I exchange now?

Height & Wage

Just heard from the News Broadcast on Channel 5
Height has direct relation to our wage.


for every 10cm difference in height,
Man gets 3% more in wage,
Woman gets 2% more in wage.

OH my goodness!
so disadvantaged to be vertically challenged as well.

Read from another source online,
its only the height at 16yrs old that matters.

height at 16yrs old indicates social life, involvement in clubs and activities which means higher EQ

According to Silverman and colleagues, participation in extracurricular and other social activities as a teen-ager may play a significant role in the teen height premium. Playing high school sports is associated with nearly a 12 percent increase in adult wages and participation in every additional club other than athletics correlates to about a 5 percent increase in wages.

Those who were relatively short when young are less likely to participate in social activities like athletics, school clubs and dating that help teens hone their social skills—skills that eventually will help them secure good jobs as adults, they say.

this is a backdated research.
not sure where did the source of the news come from though.

-
On the side note,
I was reading off the subtitles on the screen while HEARING that piece of news.
The news caster has good pronunciation, no doubt.

Its either because one of my prominent MI is hearing or I hadnt been speaking alot these days.

hmmm...

Les Choristes

hello~

Wat do you get when you put a composer who has given up on music and a group of orphans from WWII together in a classroom?


Les Choristes
25th Apr 2009
Okto
10pm

What has it got to me?

1. Teacher
2. Children
3. Music
4. Singing
5. Hope

Everything.

Update:

Just finished watching the show, I'm very inspired.
That yah, really thats the life of teachers.
Its either the very disciplinarian side,
or the find ways to get it through kind.

and finally, when the teacher walks away, its not a nobody.
But really, it is one person, that has impacted the life of the many that he/she has come into contact with.

The grown up with the wisdom accumulate over the years, looking at a child's deeds and acts, having been there, done that, know of the feelings and thoughts, willing to acknowledge and come back to those.

Tomorrow's Army Daze on Okto at 10pm. :D

"If Maria is the unofficial name for all domestic helpers, then Fatimah must be the unofficial name for carpark attendents."

"Can technology get more advance? Can Language get more explicit?"

"Certain weight that comes with the speech"

"Heartless once I've been pushed and decided. Determination no matter how much I have loved the guy"

morning~

:)
Hi all,
how was ur Good Friday? :)
Mine was Fantabulous! :D

anyway,
Went over to meet up with a friend for breakfast.
Learnt something about myself.




See more photos here

Was just reflecting on a conversation that I had with a colleague, about being a morning person or not.
Are you usually the grumpy kind that doesnt like to talk in the morning.

Had an encounter regards that.
Was on my way to my desk, going up the staircase to my workstation. Then a kid came and ask me somethings regards an announcement made the day before.

The poor innocent kid.
From my point of view, the answer is in the announcement.
So me being me that morning,
I literally ask her, "What did the announcement say?"

:D

Can see the child literally back out. :D

so poor thing right...
Thats the kind of thing our love ones goes through.
Esp if one party isnt a morning person. *assuming that the love one is with them in the morning*
So know your love one well and understand their pattern.

I am quite an oki morning person. Its just that day, the isolated case.

-

Was just going through some thoughts, then this thought came about
What if, you wake up one morning, and it isnt your love one that u see at the first instant. Instead its another person O_O

I'm sure everyone likes to wake up with their love one beside them, stealing a kiss or two before rolling off bed.
:D

What if, it isnt exactly that person?
Can you imagine that? Of course I say, Dont imagine too much.

Or maybe I should turn it around and ask, is the one that sleeps beside u truly ur love one?

-

Things that are not done, that there may be greater respect, greater love.

-

Love is a complicated thing...

kk, 2 TMAs due next week, catch u guys again~

Declutter & Ayumi

Was just clearing up my boxes of stuff that I collected over the years.
:D not exactly stuff.
Rather, they are the notes and textbooks through Secondary and Poly life,
not alot not alot.
Plenty of stuff from St Johns, NYP Pals, tut, Lect notes, Christian Education Books and plenty of Idol pictures...

I realize,
Basically, Declutter = Throw.

So the process was like.

E-Business - Throw.
Management Accounting - Throw.
Business Communication - ok, cannot throw, I need to know how to write official business doc
Accounting - Throw
Auditing - THROW
Company Law - ok, Law dont change often can keep.
Stats for Biz - Throw.

:D

Yes, I'm quite decisive.

Then it dawn on to me.
WHy on earth did I study these modules for?
Why Statistics for Business.
What the heck...
What was the reason?

Well, didnt exactly regret choosing that Diploma though, cos its a choice I made. Since Sec 2 actually. These module actually comes bundle with Accounts that I wanted to take cos I'm good in it.

If only I had knew that I would be a people person since Sec 2 :D

So now comes the question.
Why am I taking English With Psychology?
Psychology because I'm plainly interested in it.
English is just to enhance my life so I wont be stuck with psychology and psychology only.

and Hey, I am enjoying the study of The Form of Humanities k~

Next Sem, most probably taking 2 10CUs modules. :D
Yup, Sucidal again.

So I continued looking through my stuff.
Wah saw so many Ayumi Pictures...
Then come the most Revelational part.
I saw the lyrics of some songs.
O_O

I can still sing

Depend On You
Surreal
M
Evolution

Without the music...
Goodness...

and the best part is... there are so many tracks that I can sing together with, but totally forgot the title :D

Lets see if I can find the album cover of those that I have.









I think I bought a CD containing her images. :D From Yahoo Auction.

She is a pretty face, and a pretty talented one.
Use to listen to her songs.

Loved this collection of photos.



One of my favorite CD cover. (incidentally I have the CD as well)




The plot for the MTV story is pretty interesting too. :)
Cant find it on Youtube, sorry~ *oh, I think the MTV is in a CD too. :D *

Ayumi n Kinki Kids - Seasons
(if you know them, WoH, good for u, if you dont know them, I assume u are really young)


Vogue, Far Away and Seasons
These 3 songs form a story

kk, thats about Ayumi

Then I saw the remaining artist...
I was like -_-"
What was I thinking when I collect them?
Haiyo...
Now what am I going to do with them?
Throw? so wasted...
Anyway, they shall stay in the box till further usage...

One of my church friends commented that I looked really tired last Friday, So tired that the look on me makes her feel tired too. :D

kk, time to go sleep. I wanna get ready for the new week ahead.

please dont laugh at me,
although traveling down to SIM after sch which started at 8am is really very tiring,

I am really looking forward to tomorrow's Lecture on David's and Friedrich's painting.

The tutor said one of them is the official painter for French Revolution.

Maybe because I'm a very visual person ba. :)

As of now, I've got no idea to do marking or reading up in prep for the lecture. :D

maybe I'll mark first then read ba.

Saturday the 21st

Hi all,

I'm back finally to blog.
wah i think its like 2 days.

Anyway, its been a busy busy stretch, lets skip all the boring ones and go for some photos.
Super long saturday, totally exhausted. cos its a rolled on from the stretch of late night and early mornings.

Started with the Romance and Relationship Seminar of City Harvest Church at the Legends. Learnt alot through the seminar,
Steal the time during Lunch to walk up Fort Canning park and take photos.
The plants there were so Huge!


Any moment a Dinosaur would just pop its head out and *RoWR* at you :D





Feels as though walking up some stone steps to a castle in a faraway land...


Happen to notice the couple walking in-front of me, and saw them coming together to hold hands, :) reminds me

*Hand in hand, walking down the road with you.
Sings: "All I wanna do, is grow old with you..."


Long winding road.
It was a nice photo moment. :)

Continued walking and I saw this,

I was like "wOH"


:D

The taxi drove me to here and was kinda stuck at the gate, then I ask him, can we stop and get off here? He gladly obligated, I paid just as the car was allowed to pass through. SO he offered to drive me down . It was quite a distance, when we arrived, I insisted on giving him an addition dollar, he said "Dont Want, you very pretty, thats why I send you down" :D
Very Happy :D
Yes, woman like to be praised.

See More of Fort Canning Park.

That conference stretched into 2+ in the afternoon,
had the time so went over to say hi to Mr Droplet~
:) Donated blood


Then walked over to Central for lunch,
Hmm the foodcourt at Central still has the best view for Boat Quay


Then it was 5plus, headed over to Paya Lebar to go for a colleague's wedding. Cross Culture. Chinese married to an Indian





See More of Jac's wedding.

Too stone to tell you more about relating the indian wedding with the christian wedding. Perhaps blog more about it another time.

and of course, the very important person.

the photographer

I learnt something about myself that day, and its so not related to the actual event, or maybe it does. :D

anyway,
in an attempt to reduce the volume of my hair, avoid looking like a lion's mane,
I've rebonded my hair.
Pretty not?

kk, will take more glam pictures before comparing.

thats all for now
