Decided not to go for interview

There is an interview to be a scare actor of Universal Studios Halloween Horrors today at 1pm and i've decided that i'm not gonna go.

I really would go if it is not during school reopens, taking the fridays, saturdays and sundays where i need to use to study on my modules. So it would really affect my studies and i just can't allow that.

Plus, my lecturer did tell me to do things you enjoy in your life rather than the ones you don't. So i want to first list down the things to remind me not to regret not going for the interview.

1. Interferes with school work
2. just one statement in resume, nothing special. better to go for more events instead to increase that resume
3. you're going to have another elective at school and would really affect your studying time if you go for the event
4. you have CCA events maybe, to attend

But i really want a USS event on my resume... what a pity

Train Track

From 2011 onwards, recently, Singapore will not have train tracks coming through from Malaysia anymore. That's what my Mother told me.

So just the other day, as i was walking home from a shopping centre about 5 LRT stops from my house maybe 1+km away i walked by a train track as that's in my neighbourhood. You see, this train track has been in my life for the last 12 years or so of my life since i moved to this area. It crosses over a road so before this traack closed, vehicles have to pass by and sometimes wait for the train to finish crossing for them to continue driving to their destination. Everytime you cross over the train track, there is a small bump caused by the track itself so after a while it becomes common that everytime you pass through that road with the train track there, you expect the hump when your vehicle crosses over it.

Now however, the train is dismantled/taken out and on either side of the road where the track continues on, it is on the process of being dismantled. I am quite sad to see it go though. I know it's quite a minor issue but it was still a small part of my life. and will quite miss that train track's bump.

It was just the other day that i discussed this matter with my sister, that our descendants will not ever see the old, traditional trains passing through Singapore anymore.

"It's just trains, what's the big deal? Children, Children! There used to be trains in Singapore, ooooooh!!"she replied sarcastically.

Going Along the track

this is the track upfront where it is not being dismantled yet

This shot is where, obviously, part of the track is taken out, no construction workers were around at that time, lunch maybe, and i took the photos. FYI, the area was not being cordoned off so i did not sneak in or something okay...

See those black rocks towards the right side of the picture? That's part of road that i think was also taken off, i guess because the tracks are attached to the roads so they're taken out along with the tracks. Of course cement were used to replace and smoothen back the road again.

More rocks...

There were cables or wires apparently, to connect the traffic light and stuff to alert drivers and to stop drivers about the oncoming train. i walked carefully around that. i think nothing would even happen to me were i to step on it but it IS better to be safe than sorry.

Results out

I just saw my grades. Here they are:

Principles of Management: DIST
Events Materials and Decoration: DIST
Law: DIST
Events Experience: B+
IT applications for events: B+
Events Management Communications: DIST

And my overall GPA is 3.864...
All the best for next semester! JIA YOU!

Malay Weddings

Malay Weddings now is very different from 10 years ago. 10 years ago, decorations entailed just simple fabric covering the tables and chairs, no extravagant designs and stuff. Now, there are bright or very pretty fabrics covering chairs and tables, as well as the ceilings. Even chandeliers and a canopy style ceiling is normal. There may even be props like birdcages etc. I like the modernised version of malay weddings :)
The second last wedding i went to was very special, there were at least 7 different types of drinks, there was lime green, rose, lemon etc. in 7 different colours. Then i had the bo bo cha cha! DELICIOUS!!! Wished i remembered to take the name card though :( Anyways, nowadays, i always remember to collect the namecards so when it came to my wedding, i know what i want! :)

Here are the pictures from the wedding i went to just now:

I like malay weddings, the food, the decorations and the lively atmosphere. but one thing i do not like is the music played. Their music is so loud that it can cause damage to the ear drums.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I like this song, it's very fun! SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS. Even though the sound of it is simply quite atrocious...

Super duper catchy haha :)

You're my Destiny/Fated to love you 命中注定我愛你 Taiwan Drama

This drama had the highest rating in Taiwan when it came out. In 2008, it was awarded Best Television Series and Best Marketing Programme. Even my mother, who rarely watches chinese dramas, wanted to watch 'You're my Destiny'.

 




Chen Xin Yi is an unfashionable girl who everyone at her workplace calls a Post-it girl: you can use her whenever you are in need and throw away whenever you want. Soft and full of compassion, Xin Yi cares about people's feelings toward her, that's why she's struggling to be good to other people. She is very naive to the fact that she falls in love with anyone who treats her well. One day, she spends a large amount of money on a travel fee to go on a cruise to get her boyfriend back, she accidentally have a one night stand with Ji Cun Xi. Cun Xi the wealthy sole heir of a soap and cleaning products company. He had planned to propose to long-time girlfriend Anna but was unaware that she never boarded the ship. Xin Yi later finds out that her boyfriend is having an affair with a rich widow and breaks down when he leaves her. Cunxi pitying her, helps her get back at him when they were on the cruise.

After a month, Xin Yi finds out that she is carrying a baby. Due to Cun Xi's genetic factor, his family lacks male heirs to carry on the family bloodline, and this worries his grandmother, Grandma Zhen Zhu, a lot. However, Grandma Zhen Zhu coincidentally finds out that Xin Yi is having Cun Xi's baby thus forcing Cun Xi to marry Xin Yi and required them to start dating and go out together.

This drama is a romantic comedy and of course very fun to watch though sometimes a bit exaggerated. But then again, it'd not be a taiwan drama if it's not exaggerated. Laughed at almost every scene and there was one or two heartwrenching scene. Interesting story plot and great cast. Many of the songs in this drama are very catchy, even my 4 year old brother at the time kept singing one of the songs '"99次我愛他" (99 Times I Love Him)'. My favourite was '"我的快樂" (My Happiness)'

Princess Hours Korean Drama

Princess Hours was a very popular drama in 2006 and gain lots of great reviews and i agree that this drama is one of the best korean drama you will ever know once you've watched it. The theme song until now, 2011, is still stuck inside my head. If you check the drama out, you're bound to love the female lead for her quirkiness.

  

 


                        

A perfect boy, Lee Shin, from the noble bloodline, with good looks and great sense of unpolished beauty is betrothed at the age of 17 to a girl from an ordinary family, Chae-kyeong. Lee Shin is an insensitive, smug guy who holds a torch for a ballerina he knows for quite a while, Min Hyo-rin. Before he was betrothed to Cha-Kyeong, he had proposed to Hyo-rin but was rejected because she wanted to concentrate on her future as a ballerina.Therefore, Lee Shin decides to go along with the arranged marriage.

Cha-Kyeong is a clumsy girl with average grades and average looks (don't think so) who oversteps the prejudice and barriers surrounding her. She is a very creative, lovable and outgoing girl but is quite naive. Though she seems immature and irritating, she is kindhearted and honest. Chae-kyeong marries the prince because of the promise made between her grandfather and Shin's. She initially finds Lee Shin irritating but  falls in love with him in the earlier part of the show. Lee Shin, not knowing that, feels the same way. Lee Yul is Lee Shin's cousin who was initially supposed to be the crown prince instead of Lee Shin. Lee Yul's mum is taking revenge for him. He falls in love with Cha-Kyeong but she only treats him as a friend and cousin-in-law. Meanwhile, Hyo-rin starts to regret rejecting Lee Shin's proposal as she can't stand him with another girl, thus tries to get him back.

The whole process unfolds with excitement...

This drama is really very fun to watch and you can watch it repeatedly without ever getting bored. The song's very catchy and the romance bwtween the couple sooo heartwarming. Lots of humour too for those who's looking for that. There are many heartwrenching scenes as well but do not worry, the lead guy or girl is not going to die of heart failure or anything. Moving on, the story plot is great, no loop holes, if there are, i did not notice :) Overall, this drama really deserved being one of the best and popular dramas in 2006.

Resume

My sister had an assignment a year ago and it was to make a resume. I just saw it yesterday and i've got to say, it is quite convincing to employ her. So, i decided to use hers as an example and fill in my own particulars and stuff to make my own effective resume.

Unfortunately, my resume turned out to be a lousy one instead. My sis's had some sort of project assignment that got accepted in the United States and her CCAs were quite linked to her course. These information are guaranteed to help her get accepted or at least increase her chances to any jobs. Mine though... NOT!!! I don't have much but i'll try get the best module grades or stuff to get in the directors list (which my sis has by the way). Damn... This is soooo frustrating..

I must get more qualifications and stuff.. Hope i'll get good grades! Only 3 or 4 more days to GPA results out. I HATE RESUMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Library Ohhhhh...

So i was at the library just now to return a huge stack of books i carried from my home to the library. After that, i went to buy a chocolate cake, coco exotic- delicious slice of cake which costs me $3.50. Anyways, i went back up to the library after that and to my delight, i found a Kerrelyn Sparks book called Vampire Mine. So i went to another shelf of books and somehow, i felt like i should check the shelf labeled REI-ROO, which holds an author's books, Rick Riordan. I don't know why but the feeling kept bugging me, like i should check that shelf right now. So OKAY, i went there and to my anticipation, i saw Rick Riordan's Book, Lost Hero. It is very cool!! Because right now, this book keeps getting reserved by many people for about every of this book in every public library. I am so lucky! Today did not turn out as bad as i thought it'd be huh?
