Working Hard



Me: "Can I not work very hard next time when i start work? I just want a job which allows me to work only average hard! Is there such a job?"


JW: "Oh.. In that case, don't worry, 我 养你!"

Me: "Wows! I've been waiting for u to say that lols!"

JW: "I will build u a house... with some hay in it & throw some grass to u every now and then."

The 养你 means to support me as if i am a pet horse! Oh so sad (disappointed)! lols!

Me: "Then u have to clear my shit away.. :P All owners do that!"

The sotongness

Lesson starts at 10 30am today. Yesterday i checked my timetable and thought it is at 9 30am.
I reached school at 9 30am that stops near my lecture hall with my eyes half closed. Rushed to Business Library to print the lecture notes & it is still under renovation. Walked at high speed to the other library to print them, passed many big tall slow walking guys! And hurried all the way back to the lecture hall. Only to find no one inside! So here i am typing this to u with a body full of sweat!

It's only the 2nd day of school! Kill me pls.
:P

Black frame specs without lenses

CNY means spring cleaning!

I managed to make the photos a bit smaller! LOL. It's now the trial and error period.

Was just going through the stuff i bought from Taiwan and remembered the black frame specs (without lenses) that I bought from Wu Fen Pu. I bought the same pair for Miao also! Hope she likes it too!

I love it! I wore it for consecutive 2 days. :)
Here comes the scary pics of me:
(RED ALERT: If u think u can't stand my ugly face, just exit! I won't force u to read on! lols)




Photobucket


I love the studs on the frame. It's been a long long time that i haven't take photos of myself alone. (I told u i was bored at home when simba was out doing his fyp!)





Photobucket

Simba said sometimes he will get a scare when he turned around and saw an unfamilar bespectacled face! lols! He said i look very different.





Photobucket


He loves it (haha as usual, he loves and copies everything i love). I thought he looks like a thief! All he needs is a black and white striped shirt. Muhahahahaha! So bad!






Photobucket

Simba's eyes were too huge and they seem to be protruding out of the frame. lols. I thought it was pretty terrifying.

Michelle Phan & Taiwan Day 4 Part 2



CNY is coming. Gotten your New Year clothes?
I have gotten quite a few online. lols. Becos of the upcoming CNY, many blogshops updated their collections and my hotmail inbox was filled with many updates. Can't resist the temptation and bought 5! :P

I emailed Bi Han the websites and she wanted 1 maxi dress from a particular blogshop badly badly. lols! I said i will go and take a look but she is so funny. She told me not to snatch it from her and she will pay me $2 on top of the original price if i managed to order it ahead of her. And i raised one eyebrow and smiled, "How about $10?" hahahas!

Bi Han and I were helping Stephen make his optical fibers in the lab when I told Bi Han that sometimes some popular blogshops will email us that their collections will be launched the next day at a certain time. And there will be girls waiting by their computers for their launch! After the launch, within minutes the clothes were all taken and pending for payments. Stephen was pretty amazed and said, "It is just like our Star Planner!" lols! The Star Planner is the timetable of NTU where the students with the fastest reflexes (with some luck) can get the classes with the best timing. I always didn't get the class I want cos my reflexes are too slow lols!

Stephen was told by Prof to make 8 fibers and that day he msged me that he needed my help!
Wanted to go to school to ask my pHD student alot of things but didn't in the end cos she went home after I helped Stephen. lols! But it's okie. God said that u only really help someone when it went out of your convenience! Help is only help when u help with your inconvenience. (Sound very chim right!!) God is always so inspiring :P
I ended up helping him do all the work since his hands are big and trembling. lols! He said he has been stressed and lost alot of hair lately. Poor Stephen!

The Rabbit year is going to bring us to greater heights! I was having dinner with Bi Han, Kau Sang and Arsath when Arsath spoke about the rabbit year. All 4 of us happened to be of the Zodiac Rabbit! He was waiting for his friend at the MPH bookstore when he happened to see this book titled "The Rabbit Zodiac, Year 2011". He was curious and went on to read it. He said the Tiger year was a bad year for the Rabbits but we will have a good year this Rabbit year.We can look out for promotions, opportunities etc and all we have to do is to grab the opportunity. He said in great motivation, "This year is our year!!! (followed by many reasons.)" Haha, such a charismatic and positive person.

I am starting my last semester on Wednesday (26th Jan) and I am so thrilled!! :)
Officially i am 7/8 graduated (LOL)!

That Saturday i have been lazing at home watching Michelle Phan's videos! I got to know this make-up professional few months ago while researching online for some skincare.

Michelle Phan is a Vietnamese-American who loves sharing her make-up knowledge to everyone. She posts make up tutorials on YouTube for girls to learn from. I think she is really very talented and gorgeous!In November 2010, Michelle reached 1 million subscribers and became the #1 most subscribed female on YouTube (By wiki).

She is the
spokesperson for Lancôme and iQQU Beauty. I like the layout and design of her videos. We can see how much efforts she put in in making those. I really admire her! My new idol lols. She also always recommend products for Asian skins.


She can transform herself into the following looks:


Photobucket

Avatar inspired look. Look at how beautiful the rainbow colours make her eyes to be! Even if I tried, i'm not sure how and when i am going to take to be as expert as her. lols.






Photobucket


BARBIE! Omg! So sweeeeett! :)




Photobucket

Sailor moon! She looks totally anime!



Photobucket

Snow White.




Photobucket

Vampire. Can do it for Halloween :)




Photobucket

Forest Fairy! Lovely work.






Photobucket

Enchanting fairy :P COOOLLLL! How can she be so pro?! She is my age, born on 11th Apr 1987.


Simba was so curious about what i'm doing and he tried to copy me (as usual). He went home that night to watch these videos as well. lols

This Wednesday Bi Han jio me to attend a free make up session by Shiseido in school! We signed up and I'm so looking forward to it. She said we can learn how to use an eyeliner correctly :D



Now Taiwan Day 4 Part 2!


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

The toilet is pretty too!



Photobucket



Photobucket

We went outside and the staff offered to help us take a photo!




Photobucket




Photobucket

Zoomed to the max for the sign on the roof of the hotel :)



It started to drizzle soon after we left! We walked very quickly back to the station and took a train to Danshui! I couldn't walk anymore after 3 daysof non-stop walking. Was dragging Simba from behind and hunching my back and he kept encouraging me to move on. lols!


Photobucket

Us at Danshui station! We sat at the station to take a rest. We sympathized our poor feet.



Photobucket

The colorful sign!


Photobucket

The map at the station was very helpful. :P These maps have been simba's best friends. Not mine of cos! I can't read maps. lols.



Photobucket

We are here at Danshui Night Market! This market features many souvenirs :)
Simba loves the many toy shops there that sells a very funny toy. This toy is battery operated and shakes its head so violently that it may just drop off anytime. It played music too. Some rock music if i'm not wrong. It freaked me out but Simba spent sometime enjoying the look of it. LOL!



We bought a few bags from one of the stores. The salesman was very friendly. He chatted with us and asked us to add him on facebook. He takes photos of all the tourists that patronized his shop and posts them on facebook, including us. Simba added him but i kept forgetting to add him. I think he has got maybe few thousands friends on his facebook.



Photobucket

By the sea.



Photobucket

The 5 storey Starbucks!



Photobucket

Photobucket

Loving the scenery.




Photobucket

The small museum there. It requires a fee to visit the inside. As we were more interested in shopping, we didn't go in. I was looking at the ninja turtle on display.





Photobucket

This is the ninja turtle! It has a odd-shaped shell.





Photobucket

Me and the scary gorilla! I tend to look fairer overseas and it's still a mystery.
Perhaps i look fairer when i am happier? lols! I look like a hungry zombie.




Photobucket

Simba bought 2 caps, one for himself and the other for his bro.



Photobucket

The temple we passed by.




Photobucket

We got hungry and was so happy to see this famous Ah Gei shop! :P
I wrote in the iternary but didn't source for it when we reached. Was too tired to walk. But we found it!!



Photobucket

The portion was small. Simba seemed to only eat the ru rou fan haha.




Photobucket


Photobucket

The drinks were given by the hot spring hotel.
FREE and so we kapo them and carried them all the way to Danshui.




Photobucket


Photobucket

Simba saw the photo i took with Si Ting long ago in Thailand where both of us attempted to jump into the sea from the boat we were riding. lols! He wanted me to do it again.





Photobucket


Photobucket




After much shopping, we went back and it was past 12! :P

Photobucket

My things were all over the place.





Photobucket


But Simba took pride in his new things. He tried the new shirts on, folded them nicely after that and placed them neatly on the chair.



AWWW! I miss Taiwan! It was too bad i'm busy this hols becos of fyp.
Maybe this year going somewhere nice with simba.
My 'twin' (the girl who looks like me) recently got a bf and they went to Hong Kong.
I saw her facebook photos and felt like going Hong Kong too!!

Taiwan Day 4

Simba introduced me to a PS3 game called Heavy Rain few days back. Yesterday i was at his house playing it the whole day after school lols.

Heavy Rain's story is a dramatic thriller modeled after film noir, featuring four protagonists involved with the mystery of the Origami Killer, a serial killer who uses extended periods of rainfall to drown his victims. Ethan Mars is a father who is trying to save his son from being the next victim, while investigative journalist Madison Paige, FBI profiler Norman Jayden, and private detective Scott Shelby are each trying to track down clues to the Origami Killer's identity. (from Wikipedia)

I love it! It is like CSI ~





I changed my blog template again. Hope all of u like it! I like it very much. Decided not to put my tagboard here since there has been alot of spammers. But U are welcome to leave a comment below! :) Please let me know if my template is uncomfortable to your eyes. I have also put older posts' link below in case u missed any previous posts. I shall try to update more frequently.

Still thinking whether I should put my blog as public. Since i took a long time doing an entry, i may as well let more people see. Well.. just let me consider...


Here to blog about my Taiwan trip. I know it was 6 months ago but i promised simba i will finish blogging about it :) Here to keep my promise.


Photobucket

Our Latte from 7-11. We love the tea and coffee there! Creative designs and many varieties! :P They tasted much much better than the food.




Photobucket

Everyday we took a picture in the lift. Kind of make it like a routine.



Photobucket

The hotel that looks very ancient.




Photobucket

Looking at our iternary! I am so proud of it since i did it by my efforts of research and simba modified it to be more organised and aappealing to the eyes. I guess that's why simba followed strictly to the schedule. lols. He kept on hurrying me!! I love the drink he is holding too.


Photobucket

We randomly picked a breakfast house :) Simba ordered some weird noodles but he was persistent to finish it. Omg, what a horrible taste to start the day with. Being on the safe side, i only eat the scrambled egg with soy sauce from the 2nd morning onwards. The food has proven to be not of my taste. :P





Photobucket


Photobucket

Simba writing down our orders. ;)






Photobucket

This was the weird noodles. He was stunned by the taste!


Photobucket

My ordinary scrambled egg.




Photobucket


We wanted to go the Palace Museum since we applied for the Youth Card and it gives discounts to the visit to this museum :D We got off at ShiLin station and spotted this shop. Bought many many accessories from here.




Photobucket

Interesting shops. Creative! I don't think it's a pet shop. Just some accessories shop.




Photobucket





Photobucket


We took a bus over!




Photobucket

But got off at the wrong stop. haha.




Photobucket

With my newly bought hair tye.




Photobucket

Decide to walk towards our destination. Passed by a big kindergarden on the way.




Photobucket

And also the natives park. The fake slide. U could burn your butt sliding down.


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

When we finally reached. Likes this photo! Prefect angle.

Photobucket

Yeah he climbed up for the photo with the lion. Quite dangerous i think!



Photobucket




Photobucket






Photobucket

LOL!




Photobucket

We climbed many stairs before we finally reached the top where the museum is situated. Exhausted. Hence, the view is pretty magnificent! Love it. We will never see it in SG.





Photobucket


Top: Our Youth Travel Card.
Bottom: Admission Ticket
And our admission is just SGD$4! The original price was around SGD8 to SGD12!




Wasn't allowed to take photos in the museum. :( Sian 1/2. I always go against the law by sneakily taking out my camera but was caught by security haha. So paiseh!
So we didn't stay long in it since we are more excited going shopping later on haha.



Photobucket

We tried to go by the back of the museum and take a shortcut so that we don't have to walk down the many stairs back again. It was simba's idea and i felt rather unsafe about it but just have to trust him lols.




Photobucket

We walked along the narrow road, occasionally keeping away from the huge buses.



Photobucket


Photobucket

We finally reached a bus stop after the long long walk. And the bus took very long to come.




Photobucket


Photobucket

When we were back at ShiLin station, we wandered around hoping to find something nice to eat. Since we would be heading to a hot spring place later where dessert would be served, we only wanted to eat something light. And we found this dumpling cafe. lols.


Photobucket

We thought that if we write quantity as 1, they would serve 3 dumplings in a plate. But we were terribly wrong. lols. It was really 1 dumpling! Its price for 1 dumpling is about SGD0.90 and we thought it was 3 for SGD0.90. We were so over the moon until the few dumplings came. Miserable portion. lols.


Photobucket

Luckily i ordered sour spicy noodles too! It's nice.. Finally one that deserves our praises. But i have tasted in SG so it wasn't like a surprise for me.



Photobucket

The curry and prawn guo tie! We LOVE it. Something new for us.


Photobucket

The 4 dumplings with 4 different flavors.




Photobucket



Photobucket



Photobucket

After that we went to BeiTou station. As you know, it's famous for hot springs.


Photobucket

And saw this cute exhibit at the station. We had to wait our turns to take a photo! There were too many tourists.




Photobucket

The train from Beitou to Xinbeitou has many cute prints on them.




Photobucket

We were so inquisitive about what this machine in the train does. So high tech.
It shows u the map of where the hot springs are.






Photobucket

Many locals look pretty bewildered by what we were doing. we just kept taking photos with the machine. Well.. It's human nature to take it for granted when things are closer to us i guess.
Like if i saw tourists outside Ngee Ann City taking photos with the lion, i would be puzzled too. Everytime see i also sian already lols.





Photobucket

Photobucket

Cute sign!




Photobucket


Photobucket

At Xinbeitou molesting the statues.



Photobucket

We looked as though we are going to conquer some rock climbing obstacles behind us.




Photobucket

Simba ran out of money lols! We tried this machine. haha. We can enter our pin number but no money came out. We thought there is a Masters card sign on it that looks totally like Singapore's?! Life is confusing.





Photobucket


Photobucket

After a pretty long walk, we reached The Four Seasons Hotel to have the hot spring. Ling's recommendation. It was such a grand hotel.


Photobucket

And after that, we were invited for a dessert at their cafe.



Photobucket

The dessert took about half an hour to arrive. We were wondering whether they forgot about it. We smiled at the waitress and she smiled back. I'm not sure whether it is an act of guilt or ignorance? lols. We were thinking we were the only customers in the cafe and if they forgot, they would be really blur.



Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

My hair was wet from the hot spring. The hotel provided me with a hair clip and i just anyhow clip my hair up. Hence the messy hair.



Photobucket

The coffee suspended from the coffee machine has this kind of pattern when mixed with milk. Cool spiral pattern.



Photobucket

I took plenty of these packets back home. lols! It's free what!





Photobucket




Photobucket

Our dessert. We began to ponder why these food took so long to be prepared. Maybe they were waiting for watermelon to be ripe. lols.




Photobucket




I shall stop here for the moment. Photobucket has not been able to load the rest of my photos. -_-""
Continuing soon! :)
