Mods for my last sem, god-willing

LAM3201 - Malay 3 HY3252 - From Tropical Medicine to Bioscience TR2201 - Entrepreneurial Marketing HY3206 - East Asian International Relations GEK2025 - Politics of Middle East HY2241 - Why history? GEK1545 - An insight into reproductive health To take my malay mod, I have to reshuffle almost all my mods. Sian. But I think it's worth it, because Cikgu Sew is teaching Malay 3 this coming sem! Yay! Just in case any of u guys want to take the modules that I'm taking, you're more than welcome to do so =) Though I seriously doubt anyone will be crazy enough to do so.

Review: Liese Hair Cocktail

It smells super nice! I finally got around to using it after leaving it on my table for like almost a week. The amount recommended was a bit too little for my hair, but it's thick so I guess I'll need a lot more for it to work its magic. Had to put twice the amt. The moisturing level wasn't up to standard in my opinion but it does work in the anti-frizz dept. At least I don't have stray strands sticking up like I normally do. Judging at the amount used, I think I will have this product on my hand for quite a while.

Movie Review: Rapunzel

The movie was awesome! I watched the 2D version, but it was still better than most of the animated movies that I have seen. The plot was a little different from what I have read when I was young, but it was a delightful surprise instead of a turn-off. The OST was nice too. Go listen to it if you haven't. The most memorable scene was the floating lanterns in the sky, with Eugene and Rapunzel sitting in the boat. That was the most classic moment ever, with all the ideals of pure love. The storyline was classic, but not boring. I can imagine little kids sitting in the cinema, looking at the big screen in awe. There were many funny moments, and should be funny even to little kids because of the visual impact. Totally recommend it for family outings =)

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's

timeline of relationship

When you think you're in love, you feel that you can do anything for love. Only he matters. When you get together, you think of the marriage and the future, and how happy you would be. ohhh, the classic happily ever after story. When you're in the honeymoon period, going out, spending time together and feeding each other food seems like the best activities in the world. When the honeymoon period of the relationship ended, faults started to show up, becoming more obvious by the day. But you think you can live with it. "Because love is strength", according to all the romance novels, dramas and movies. Then, everyone starts to take everything for granted. "I know she will understand." "I know he will understand." Both parties get into a routine of assuming things, because you think he/she is the one for you and nothing will ever get between. One day, one party exploded. "I was wrong about you! I thought that you were the one for me; so

My modules for sem 1 AY2010/11

HY2253 - Christianity in World History HY3241 - Religion in the history of China and Japan LAM2201 - Malay 2 LSM1301 - General Biology NUR1113/GEM1901/SSM1206 - Active ageing in Singapore I'm quite happy to get HY2253 since it's Prof Lockhart teaching again. And apparently, there's a few pple whom I know taking this mod too, even though I don't know some of them very well. HY3241 is kinda scary about thinking about it, since I totally have no clue about China and Japan (yes, even though I have studied the language, I have not touched much on its history). And with Mark in it, I think it's a clue that it's not going to be easy... (I always score badly for the mods that I take with him. No idea why also) LAM is cool! From the class roster, it seems that there's only 12 pple taking it. Anyway, malay is something that I have always wanted to learn, so it won't be so bad, I guess. LSM1301 is going to kill me for sure. I have no experience with it at all,

1000+ blog post

I have actually posted more than 1000 posts! OMG I feel badded sia, cuz I didn't help out for the deco for matric fair. But I totally couldn't drag myself up. Going to slp soon so that the same thing won't happen again. Anyway, I am busy enough, without more stuff happening. Haiz. And our dear little birdie has been calling me everyday, even though I never pick up her calls maybe like 70% of the time. Have to settle more stuff tml aso gotta slp now =(

Thoughts on Taiwan trip

This trip to taiwan is an eye-opener. It was not what I had pictured it to be, but not too bad either. I have learnt more stuff than I had planned to, both good and bad. I learnt that, never ever go on trips with just one other pple, esp when the person is not ur bf. There are some stuff where you have to experience it in order to learn, and I did. Many things had happened during the taiwan trip, both in Singapore and Taiwan, to me and to others. It was a mere ten days, but there were major changes. I thought that Tashrif was reliable, yet apparently he's not. Just like I thought that ah gong was, but he was not as mature as I thought him to be. First of all, I must admit that I have a stubborn streak, and I want to do things my way. So, when he wanted to go to some places that I do not want to, I refused to, but I suggested to him that he can go with someone else or alone. Since I will be a hindrance to him anyway. So there started the black face thing. I mean, from my pov, I will

First day in Taipei

We touched down at 6plus (on time) via Jetstar airline. To be frank, I was quite surprised, since I have heard a lot about flight delays from Jetstar passengers. Before landing, we had to fill a form stating our purpose of visit and some essential information. (not a surprise there, since I have filled up the same form last year.) About Jetstar, I think that in some areas, it is actually better but the legroom and size of the seat is not one of them. And the non-provision of water. Don't they know that people will get thirsty? (Haha. Maybe they will charge for the water too) But I like the idea of no inflight entertainment, since it allows me to sleep fitfully on the plane, (and I always fall aslp once the plane takes flight.) The flight itself was smooth, just that the engine made so much noise that I thought I would turn deaf. Took the Guo Guang bus to Taipei Bus station (125NT) at around 8pm and we tried to search for the youth travel card information. Apparently we were t

Maybe the thousandth time

Until now, I still think that English is a very impolite language. In Chinese and Japanese, there is a formal way of writing which shows respect to others, but yet, English is still a 'you' But I think the greatest difference is the word itself. The style of writing is very different. And for Chinese and Japanese, they can be called exquisite. Tomorrow, I'll be flying to Taipei, the first trip that I had in months. I kind of look forward to it. Sometimes, I just wish that people won't dump so much stuff on me. And I wish that they won't bother me too much too. But only sometimes. I hope the weather will be nice to us. And I will take kor kor's advice, to be careful =)

Trip preparation

I'm tired. Instead of working today, I was preparing the stuff to go taipei. I am just not going to think anymore. Watching peacemaker kurogane now. Somehow, I think, I'm not being honest with myself.

DPRK

The first exam was hard. Much harder than what I have expected. Especially since last year's paper was relatively easy. Motivation went spiralling down. Okay, and I can't S/U this paper, PH2110. I'm so totally screwed if others don't feel the same way about the paper. Next paper is HY3226. If I don't do well for this, my cap is going downhill too. Might even end up on academic probation lor. Since my this sem's modules are seriously crap. Fear motivates people. How true is that. Just saw a documentary about North Korea, and the American journalist who was hosting it. I seriously think that she's a bitch. Really really. Somehow, she just gets on my nerves. Anyway, so she was saying that she didn't know who are the ones pretending to be in awe of Kim Jung il, and those who really think that he's god. It's a matter of both brain-washing and the fear factor. Who can be free to state their minds when one wrong choice word would end people up in work c

23 enigma

This seems to be quite interesting, with people being obsessed about 23. I think it's a very nice number. Since it's my birth date afterall. HAHA. Nice knowing that people are really researching into this number. Finished watching Alice in Wonderland, and Case 39. Just saw BH's email, with cs being removed from office and zi jun sighted in clubroom. HAHA. I hope I have the strength to go through this week.

weekends come and go in a breeze AGAIN

Fri nite: Drinking with dss and joce. Details are locked in my mind. Sat: Morning, met up with jac for mac breakfast, and then went to liang court for the DIY Japan travel fair. After that, lessons. And, evening, tuition. Finally reached home and had to go back to clubrm again. Sun: Biathlon. Helped out at waterpoint. Lunch with dss and val at west coast plaza. Ate at New York New York. Must remind myself that I owe Val money. Yet again. Back home. Family gathering. Fell aslp until morning. I am so screwed.

shoot shag marry

Shoot shag marry again! HAHA. This time round is 4 pple. The ranking becomes *drumroll* dss, wl, bb, ky - practical [look at val] bb, wl, dss, ky - ideal woo~ But it will soon change. I think. I suddenly dun feel like collecting the books anymore.

Goodbye, Lenin

1st thing I woke up today was, shucks, it's another day. No tuition today, contrary to what I thought a few days ago. I was kind of glad, cuz I'm really really tired. I realised that I do not even have time to read the books that I want to read, because I am too short of time. The rehearsal went well. I hope that I can perform as well or even better tml, and there is a long day ahead of me tml. crazy. It's a non-stop thing. I'm watching Goodbye Lenin now, which is related to the DDR, which I am studying about in HY3209. It's a good movie, so anyone who has time or is interested can go and watch it. The plot is very fascinating. It's available on youtube. I feel weird. I'm tired. Is there any other way that I can feel better about things? Library. It's has a love-hate relationship with me.

forgetful me

I left my phone in clubroom. For the dunno how many times liao. Sian. Met Val in clubroom today. Have been seeing her a lot recently. LOL. Passed Zhitong the walkie talkies today. And he's gonna return it on tuesday. I hope he wun be late. Otherwise I would just leave him there waiting. Cuz I got tuition at 5pm. My parents are back! As expected, my mum is screaming at my brother because he din wash the clothes. Orh-bi quack. Tml is so going to be a stressful day. Packed with activities. Skit rehearsals in the morning, then have to rush to cityhall to pass Daniel the book, and then lessons. After that, I am so going to attempt to finish all the overdue webcast lectures. Sunday is not any better. Tuition in the morning, collecting of payslip and then tea-drinking.
