争取机会

我时常把好运当作理所当然，而忽略了有些时候，机会是要靠自己去争取的，但我却让它擦身而过。我再也不要做个骑墙派了， 要当机立断、能割能捨的勇气，才能正有所得。。。

倒数九天， 我又能创造什么奇迹呢？

Actions speak louder than words…oh well, 要勇敢向前走！

Random Thoughts~

Life has been difficult and emotional these days, apart from coping with Exams and preparing for Santa Cruz.

Many people can't wait for their last paper to come.

I just do not want 8 Dec to arrive, trying to convince myself that I wouldn't cry on that morning.

8 months...short? It seems pretty long and miserable to me.

Can somebody just stop the time?....oh well~

生命中，不断地有人离开或进入。
于是，看见的，看不见了；记住的，遗忘了。

生命中，不断地有得到和失落。
于是，看不见的，看见了；遗忘的，记住了。
然而，看不见的，是不是就等于不存在？记住的，是不是永远不会消失。

82 Hours 12 Mins 38 Secs

Congratulations to George Lee for winning the MediaCorp Radio Subaru Impreza Challenge and setting a new record. Standing (+dancing) for 82 hours, wow! Amazing stuff, and for doing that, this crazy fellow has earned himself a brand new Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5L Manual worth S$80,000.

This song is dedicted to him, the man who can't be moved...

Song Recommendation of the Week:
The Script – The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

The Script are a three-piece Irish rock band from Dublin, Ireland. They are new kids on the block and have released their first album, unsurprisingly called The Script. I call this single a pretty deadly song, that kind of pop hit that works all the way into your head even though you don’t want it to. With their style of music, they are easily compared to Maroon 5, OneRepublic and even Coldplay. This video features vocalist Danny O'Donaghue trying to win back a former lover, sitting on the pavement and waiting for his girl to come and meet him. A touching storyline with beautiful lyrics.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I’m not moving…..
I’m not moving.

Btw, I give this song 4.0 out of 5 星星s....

快乐是心灵的天堂

一个阴雨天，一位艺术博士看到一个残疾的孩子正专注地凝视窗外。

她问：“你在看什么呢？”
“看阳光。”孩子说。
“雨天怎么会有阳光？”
“当然有。只要心在乌云的上面，就能看到。”

孩子的话就像一道阳光照亮了博士的心。

不管现实生活有多少风霜雨雪，只要我们的心在乌云之上，我们看到的依然是一方灿烂的晴空。

A bright sunday to be cooped at home

Close to 2 weeks of not blogging, have lots to update, yet I am feeling really lazy, or shall I say busy and frustrated, especially at this point in time just 2 weeks before the final exams arrive. Today was set aside for me to just stay at home and recuperate from my headache and sore throat, throat seems okay le, just that the pain appears on and off. Went to Khatib for half an hr just to hand Tracy her French handouts before heading to AMK centre to buy lunch. Was tempted to try the western spaggetti with fried chicken wings...but I did manage to control myself which was a good thing. Sometimes we need to have self control, esp at the Tiger brewery tavern!

Yesterday's French class was pretty interactive, amazingly only half of the class turned up (16/2 = 8). I had already missed 2 classes due to dragonboat and Liya's makeup claz, so I can only afford to miss another one. I would need that cert to graduate, well, at least to fulfill NYAA's little requirement. And speaking abt that, I havnt wrote the ICCs thingy, argg! Perhaps Jerry is right, I shouldnt spend too much time on other unnecessary stuff like music :p

Well, before French, I actually went over to Ngee Ann City to witness the start of the Subaru Impreza Challenge 2008. This is like my tradition every year end to go over and watch the competition. 400 participants, with over 300 Singaporeans taking part this yr. Record was 77 hours by a girl who took part last year. That is like more than 3 days!!! Not sure if anyone can break that.

I missed last Fri's class, made that decision after feeling terribly bad when I woke up at 7. Incidentally, both lecturers were looking for me. Yefeng said that I was famous, Ya Rite!

I have finally booked my flight, SQ16, flying off on Dec 28 morning to San Francisco. Oh ya, resting for an hour at Seoul. Shopping lar! Meiy will be envious of me..haha...well, Just hope that I won't get lost, it is not Singapore afterall, everywhere is like very big...It takes 6 hrs to drive down to LA from San Frans, omg, think I going to abort the idea of shopping at LA. Booking of flight is easy, but mapping of modules is horrible x 10!!! I dun want to get screwed by Dawn or "Fei1 Mao1" before exams, it is an unlucky sign!

More updates on the trip to Santa Cruz, and lots of preparation to be done in Dec, and I havent apply for Visa yet! Where is my I-20 document???

*Cool down Mister Lyon, dun think too much, time to go back and touch up on your FNA report....Zzz..*

Song Recommendation of the Week:

Plain White T's - 1,2,3,4 (I Love You)

Music has a way of making you feel like everything is going to be O.K, yup, tat kind of feel-good music in summer and makes you fall in love with it easily. It's the kind of music that Plain White T's make. If you can remember their successful single last year "Hey There Delilah" then you would already have some idea what their pop grunge-esque tunes might sound like. 1. 2. 3. 4 is so cheesy, but it's perfect for anyone with love on their mind. It's not a groundbreaking masterpiece for this album, but it's a solid effort that's easy to listen to over and over again.

--- There's only one thing two do three words four you ---

Btw, I give this song 4.0 out of 5 星星s....

NTU Breakfast

Am blogging from NTU right now! Sent qt to NIE today, its been a while since I last visited the Engine Fac, and was surprised to see a few new food outlets after the closure of Canteen A. Then walked into Bistro Restaurant and was attracted by the breakfast set.

Only 2.5 bucks! To me, it taste like heaven, love it! This would probably make me visit NTU more frequently. =)

High up into the sky

165m above the ground! The world's largest observation wheel!

The sensation of being on top of the world and surrounded by the magnificant views of our garden city is simply great! It takes about 30 mins to go one big round, but time really flies when you are having fun. Caught glimpses of Indonesia and Malaysia but was pretty unclear due to the haze and today happen to be a very hot afternoon. Capsule guide was a really enthu lady. Do u know that the Flyer was going the anticlockwise direction when it first started operation? But due to fengshui, it is now going clockwise. So you will view the scenary first before the commercial sector. Took a lot of photos, these are just a few.

Happy 22th Birthday to u! The celebration was a few days late, but I am glad it turned out well. Going an extra mile to surprise u and seeing that radiant smile on your face, I kno everything is worth it ^^

The baby on October 19

You are self-expressive and animated in speech. Your memory is outstanding when it comes to the "little things" that you pick up from others and when it comes to the past. You are curious and possess a dual nature—sometimes chatty and rational, and other times withdrawn and moody. You are quite determined and possess resolve. With good business sense and the ability to "read" people well, you are likely to enjoy much success in life as you age. You have the rare gift of the ability to be assertive and charming at the same time.

Oct 16 - Just an entry

Today was pretty embarrassed, I screwed up my Microbes presentation, initially was planned to be 2 mins of me blabbering, 2 mins video. Then that composting toilet video suddenly couldnt play! Siao liao. I should have NEVER press the "full screen" button for youtube videos. I actually came early to rehearse for this, thot everything was fine and perfect. Well, its over anyway....and my midterm test results sucked! Obbard likes to deduct my marks, hmph..

Oh ya, and today the bad boy actually skipped his 2 tutorials in the morning to do decision report in library. Was having a huge headache though, so came up with the 'bright' idea. I am such a bad influence, lol

Finally received my pre-ordered long-awaited Jay Chou album yesterday, still deciding whether to open up the whole package cuz I really curious what's inside. But something is holding me back. :p (KL mei shd know why) Anywae, the album cover really shocked me, Jay looked like terminator like that, I almost thot the salegirl gave me the wrong album, but when I looked closer, ya, it is really him. 没错没错！ All the song titles were altered, they purposely want make it different from the online leaked version.

Happy Belated Birthday to Jerry! It was yesterday and I hoped he enjoyed his date with his part-time wife. Dunnoe y, but I like the feeling when my best buddy is suddenly older than me (for 4 days). Time to take IPPT again bro! Go get the money and we can have a great meal together! haha

-The End-

假如说钢铁磨成针　
只要愿意等只要肯爱得深
是不是就有这可能
有可能打动这铁石心肠的人

可惜就算梦能成真　
有谁猜得准能分到多少福份
生命的同花顺　
底牌没有你
我也认
