Today is Feb 29, a date that occurs only every four years. For those who are born on this day, Happy Birthday! It’s been a long wait. According to some known sources, this is the only one day that a woman can propose to her partner. This isn’t practiced in Singapore though, only in Ireland and UK….The norm is still the norm…
Mid term break ending really soon, lab reports, projects, assignments, they are just piling up. And I tend to get easily tired these days. Lots of people are studying, I can tell, just by stepping into Central Lib and YIH study area. Good for them but bad for me, haha, cuz I am stuck with my 2164 lab report, no directions whatsoever. I think I gonna stop and just move on with other stuff. 5 mid terms, 1 has passed (I think I did okay, a consolation, but must still wait for result to be released). Recently, I have been seeing my 2183 tutor for consultation, though I disturbed him quite a few times, but he is really a nice guy la. I really wish all my tutors are like that.
I think I am having too much fun, slacking, going on friendster, chatting on MSN till 2am. Everyday is passing by so quickly. Did up a schedule for this recess, but didn’t follow closely. Hehe…anyway, was invited by Lawrence for a dinner party on wed. Turnout was pretty good, thumbs up for the food, cooked by his mum who looked to be in her 40s, but she is actually in her 60s, shhh…..lol. Left early anyway, cuz I do not know a lot of ChESS people also, some I knew didn’t up, only a handful.
Went to watch Kungfu Dunk with her at vivo this evening, had planned to catch it two wks ago but encountered some small hiccups. Won a pair of GV movie passes on cny eve, had to put them to “good use” anyway. Actually wanted to catch Leap Years but the good seats are alr gone. Singaporeans are really fast, but what’s more memorable than catching this movie on the day itself. Anyway, the brownies with vanilla ice cream at harbourfront breeks are really delicious, next time I would definitely order again...
Had a little chat on msn with shuling this morning, was pondering on what she had mentioned, maybe it is time to start to reach for goals....
Everybody should.......it is just part and parcel of life....though there would be obstacles waiting for us to overcome...

Song Recommendation of the Week:
Melee – Can’t Hold On
Hmm, how do u pronounce the name of this band? No, not “Me-Lee”, not “Mei-Li”. It Is actually pronounced as “Me-Lei”. Coming all the way from California, this 4-member pop band has been around since 2004. Recently, they made a comeback with this new album “Devils and Angels” and the #1 hit “Built To Last”. Since then, people have been wondering if Melee is one of those one-hit wonder band. Well, not until they hear this follow-up single “Can’t Hold On”. The tune sounds a bit like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus “Your Guardian Angel”, where it gets louder and louder towards the end of the song. This is a pretty emotional ballet. Hold back your tears as memories of the past flow through your mind. This song is going to be big….trust me..
If your friend is feeling down, dedicate this song to him/her…..

[Chorus]
But if you can't hold on
Let it go and come back in your heart
And if you can't hold on
Maybe it's not time for you
And if you can't hold on
On your very last try
I'll be there in the morning to pull you through
Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 星星s....

鼠年行好运
Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 恭喜发财!
The year of rat is a good year for those ox-es like me, in terms of wealth, love and career. But it seems like every year is the same. Sometimes I wonder if it is really true, not that I totally don’t believe in horoscope. Anyway, was really ‘high’ (not that shake head kind) on new years’ eve counting down, so much so that I actually develop a slight fever on 初一, but still continue to bai nian, lol, cuz normally the ‘harvest’ is the greatest on the first day. No lar, I am not those greedy kind, just that I would feel a bit rude if I didn’t visit my close relatives that day. Steamboat was nice, I love the wanton shrimp my ah ma made. Sianz, have to control my diet these few days le, those pineapple tarts, bak kwa, love letters, lots of goodies waiting for me leh….Arggg.....
On the bright side, Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Go ahead and feel the love in the air……
Song Recommendation of the Week:
Collin Raye – Love, Me
If u are looking for classic country love ballads, u can’t miss his Love Song Collection album. Collin is, in my opinion, one of the best at singing love tunes, and making you remember the feeling of falling in love. This number needs no introduction, it’s everyone’s favourite…..
To those married or attached, happy Valentine’s Day. Enjoy..
To those who are single and looking, jiayou worz…
Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 星星s....

Careless Me
Recently I have been really careless, first I lost a receipt file for Zusammen, then somehow Faiqah's extension cord didn't return to ChESS Room. The loss of that file almost made me cry on sat night, a few hundreds spent and I needa claim. I dunoe y I volunteered to be i/c of financial in the first place. Abt that ext cord, I am still searching, dun feel nice to take yongkai's to give back to faiqah. Now doing up the post event report. Hopefully it can be done b4 New Year.
Just read kailuen mei's blog abt guys and gals and how they shd treat the other half. Suddenly felt a lil emo, but I kind of agree what she commented abt guys. Yup, we should always take the initiative. I would be a bit afraid if it is the other way. Girls always like surprises, they are always eager for their loved ones to start asking them out. They would keep quiet first, wait a while, if need be, start hinting. Most guys kno, but there are a handful who are a bit insentitive and this is when conflicts start appearing, with girls accusing the guys of not caring for them. lol, that is what I often see on TV leh. But seriously, if u want a relationship to work well and last forever, both parties have to do their part. Don't expect what he/she can do for u, but just do what u think u can do for him/her. It's the thought and sincerity that matter and this is when both parties would feel the sweetness. =)
Girls are girls, they always want someone to care for them.

Zusammen a sucess | New Year coming !
The year of pig is departing us very soon. Time really flies, so fast that I dun even have the time to do spring cleaning this year. But I did manage to tidy up my room yesterday, threw away lots of stuff, things which I treasure a lot in the past but just seem meaningless to keep them now. They just dun appeal to me this time round. Haha, as the saying goes, 旧的不去, 新的不来, if the old doesn’t go, where got space for the new ones to come? Some things don’t go though, good memories, happy moments, I just can’t afford to lose them….
Zusammen was held on sat, wanna say a word of thanks to those who sms-ed me the day before, though my phone batt went flat on Fri night. Guys, it was a success, 谢了! Weather was perfect on sat morning until it started to drizzle during lunch. The 11 teams were sporty and all were going for the top prize, though it was only 100 bucks. But overall, I must say the response was really good this year, all thanks to the publicity and the seniors who encourage their classmates to participate. The whole welfare comm were working really hard to make this major project a successful one…..Planning was done early, everything was under control……Also had a fun time working with pinyun ever since the Dec hols when we started planning. I must say this girl can really go far in future….
Mister Lyon seldom complain and he is not those kind of guys who would easily get pissed off. Indeed, many pple were happy that Zusammen was a success, seriously, I wasn’t. Almost lost my cool at some point in the day, but in the end, I didn’t. Sometimes it takes just a few hours to see the true characters that my classmates / teammates portray. I am not going to mention any names cuz I just wanna use this space to vent out my frustrations b4 enjoying new year. Apparantly, some people just cannot appreciate what others have done for them. Programme list was sent to all a few days before the event, nobody commented on anything, so I assume everything is in order. Then the game fixtures were suddenly altered without any reason by a higher position exco member. Such a last min decision, doesn’t he know that there is a lot of things to be done just by changing the fixtures. We have to go inform the 11 teams and the helpers on the actual day. And I can’t imagine my own teammate telling me that she never print the programme list since she doesn’t expect wet weather that day. Come on, u are in charge of wet weather, how can u take chances? Lucky it didn’t rain heavily that day, the rain stopped when we were abt to start the 2nd half of Zusammen. But at least, I do expect my own teammate to respect my work and start taking initiative to do things on her own, dun rely on me just because I am nice. I do not have the qualities of a ‘Nice Guy’ yet, I do have my own flaws. I try to always help my friends, but if people do not care abt what I have done, there is no point being the nice guy anymore. Ok, enuf complaining abt Zusammen people. Now I really wanna say something abt this classmate of mine. Yes, EVE classmate, in fact, I still remember Meiy did post something abt her a year ago. I am referring to that same person, if Meiy still rem. Recently, this classmate of mine approached me and I lent her one of my Textbks to do some photocopying. It is a new book but I really dun mind lending her. But what I cannot accept is that she actually left the book in the care of another person and she never inform me at all. All the while, I thought she had already started to do the photocopying since I told her I wanted the book back b4 New Year. I am not angry with her for lending the book to another person (also a gd friend of mine), I am just annoyed that she did not even let me know until I asked her. She just smiled and didn’t say anything. That Zusammen afternoon, I didn’t speak to her at all. To many, this may be a trivial issue, u can say I am petty, like to blow things up, but I guess everyone of us demand a certain level of respect from our peers.
Now I feel better, am going to leave those unhappy memories behind and cross over to the new year. At least today I can still joke and smile during lectures. Mister Lyon is like that one, even though he feels moody and frustrated, he always tries to hide it…….
Song Recommendation of the Week:
Corrinne May - Shelter
“Friends support and help each other through difficult times. This song is about friendship. It is a song to a friend to tell her that I will be here for her through the difficulty she is going through. All she has to do is call me and I will help her in whatever way I can.” - Corrinne

Her latest single from her album "Beautiful Seed". A very suitable song for friendship/V day. Let your love ones know your existence.
Just call my name
Let me be an answer'
cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let me be your shelter my friend
Btw, I give this song 3.0 out of 5 星星s....

Updating in progress...
Alright, time for updates, lots to mention…
Just ended one of my ese2001 labs. Was a little surprise about the last min arrangement and grouping, so ended up having 8 people doing one expt. Lab assistant was friendly but a bit long winded, lucky I sat at the back…:p Hmm, she mentioned that lab report is going to be a group work which I am kind of unhappy about. Can’t really learn much if each of us just finish up our own part and combine everything. Anyway, lab was very slack, didn’t had the chance to even touch the high tech equipments.
Still considering whether to apply for UROP. Wastewater proj seems interesting and I can work with my mentor, get to know him more. Will meet up with him soon…Wanna do something special this Sem since I am only taking 5 mods….
Met up with quanfu on Sat at Expo, went for the John Little Sale. Surprisingly, not many people were around, probably becuz there wasn’t much to shop around. Lolz, didn’t buy anything in the end, so decided to hang out at Coffee Bean…White Choc latte is really nice! Anyway, had a heart-to-heart talk with this buddy of mine about our own love life. Seems that we happen to fall for the same type of gal….I kept hinting him to ask RJ out during V day until he a bit irritated le….haha…Jiayou bro!
Lots of assignments to catch up…lab reports…projects…Arggg …things are beginning to heat up….
10 days to Lunar New Year…….
17 days to Valentine’s Day……..
Planning…..
Dedicting the next song to her, she loves this song so much....
This singer is a rising new star, just listen to the chorus, you would be amazed...
______________________________________________________________________
歌曲推荐: 光
歌手: 王栎鑫
专辑名称: 天生一对 EP
他是<快乐男声>广州唱曲冠军。《天生一对》是栎鑫签约种子唱片发行的首张EP，共有5首歌。其实在这张EP发行之前，媒体曾经报道过他以一曲《光》在香港造成了极大的震动，这首歌也收录到了最新发行的EP里面。尽管《光》中栎鑫的海豚音没有opera2中那么嘹亮，相反的，我却更欣赏这种厚重一点的男声。《光》作为第一波主打歌，主要体现的是他的海豚音，尽管开场很华丽，栎鑫本人的声音在这首歌中确实发挥淋漓尽致，但是本身歌曲没有很实质体现的内容，可能是这首歌曲最大的遗憾吧!

Lavender Rose - Enchantment
One of the rarest and most visually stunning rose colors is lavender. 
The eye-catching shades of light purple have made the lavender rose a wildly popular alternative for romantic occasions, as well as an everyday favorite for all who enjoy its distinctive appearance. A bouquet of lavender roses can definitely make a striking impression.
As with other roses, lavender roses have their own special meanings which have evolved over the years of their existence. The lavender rose is often a sign of enchantment and love at first sight. Those who have been enraptured by feelings of love and adoration have used lavender roses to express their romantic feelings and intentions.

想着。。。
今天心情好烦闷，脑海里不时浮现放弃的念头。。
你那番话的意义其实我早已明白。。
也许我真的配不上你吧。。。
就让你好好地休息。。。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
歌曲推荐: 我不配
歌手: 周杰伦
专辑名称: 我很忙
周式R&B情歌还是比较让人印象深刻的, 尤其是专辑里的《我不配》很煽情，晚上自己一个人听特别有感觉。在K的程度之内, 也是水准与预料之内的。我觉得歌迷可以很快抓到演唱的技巧，马上进入KTV大练特练。说难不难，说容易不容易。歌曲叙述了演艺人员的不自由和无奈，也隐约地批评媒体积极到过分的跟拍方式。我总觉得整首歌有点悲伤的味道, 正好配合现在的心情。遗憾的， 他没有在演唱会展现这首歌。
方文山的词， 周杰伦的曲，值得一听再听。。。

这感觉已经不对
我努力在挽回
一些些应该体贴的感觉我没给
你嘟嘴许的愿望很卑微在妥协
是我忽略 你不过要人陪
这感觉已经不对
我最后才了解
一页页不忍翻阅的情节你好累
你默背为我掉过几次泪多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪你的美 我不配
方文山的词， 周杰伦的曲，值得一听再听。。。
