 Saturday, January 1, 2011 @ 4:23 AMkids are meant for diverting attention
kids are cute-est when they are small or maybe they are cute because they are small. i always think that kids shldnt grow up ><> anwyway here are my 2 nephews. yup i am their AUNT (: oh wait. being an AUNTY isnt someth to be happy about... maybe except when u have nephews who are SO cute. haha  dont get me wrong. i am not the like-kids-alot kind of person. neither am i intending to be a mother. i  but despite that, i still enjoy having them around... cos i realise there are some benefits....like getting free (but nice) food samples (:(: during the christmas-y period, marks and spencer at vivocity was having promotion for some of their wonderfully delicious food products. (M&S cookies are super nice. i read abt their new apple pie dessert flavoured cookies and i cant wait to try it!) so anyway there was this small round table at the entrance with chocolate cookies, crumbly biscuits, potato chips and something else piled nicely and looking really enticing but somehow lacking the attention it should deserve. ...i feel too paiseh to approach the table and shamelessly try all the food stuff without the intention of buying any but yet the food looked too good to resist. so i came up with a brilliant idea. since i was with a total of FOUR kids (2 nephews and 2 cousins aged 11 and 12), who obviously shld be forgiven for their innate attraction to sweet stuff... i directed their attention towards the table and was like "go go go! go eat! very nice de!" and so suddenly there were like 4 people rushing towards and clamouring around the pathetically small table, and the salesgirl who had been stoning looked shocked and overwhelmed... and because my nephews are almost the same height as the table, they ran right into the table and almost toppled everything... and in the midst of all the mess and chaos, i managed to eat a satisfactory amt of food samples... and pile some onto the outstretch hands of my nephews (since their height only allows them to see but not reach for the food) not bad right? (: kids are best used to divert attention (: before you say i m a horrible and terrible person, i actually did buy stuff frm M&S that day. while shopping, i realised clement (the one with the specs) loves the camera. Look at the following sequence of events: 1. clement realises that i was taking photos of him  2. asks his brother to pose for the camera  3. poses for the camera the best way to keep bored kids entertained?  the iPhone!

Friday, December 31, 2010 @ 3:03 AM Cycling
Cycling from ecp to changi beach...makes me realise how extremely small Singapore is... In just an hour, we have already covered a significant proportion of singapore's perimeter lol:  Cycling is so wonderful... And the scenery at the PCN with all the willow-y trees and the glimmering sea and the vast blue sky without all the towering skyscrapers is so so pretty it doesn't feel like Singapore... Bailu said it looks like new Zealand (:   Jumpshots at bedok jetty... ...led us to the biggest discovery of the day: Kaiyun's secret talent at taking jump shots! It's damn fascinating how Kaiyun can capture the exact moment at which the jump-er has risen to the highest point, assumed the desired pose before beginning to land. Wow I really think Kaiyun have potential to make money out of this talent... Jump-shot specialist Ang Kai Yun. Promises to capture photos of u gleefully and gracefully poised in the air in just ONE shot. No more jumping till SIAN... For just 5 bucks per photo! Complimentary how-to-jump-in-a-glam-way lesson!  Coffee bean ice-blended... Is perfect as a post-cycling treat! Pure Choc ice blended is the not heavenly drink ever! (: Can't wait to go cycling again!  - Posted from laura's iPhone :) back to top? |

Wednesday, December 29, 2010 @ 1:11 AM How pencil skirts may ruin your life
I just missed my bus -.- And it's all because of my skirt -.- Whoever designed this pencil skirt must be retarded. Seriously. It's like made of this stone washed jeans material (which looks great but is hardly stretchable) yet it is tapered to such an extend that it hinders walking movement to one third a regular step. When walking, it is impossible to take huge strides, instead, I take a series of small steps, and with each step I feel the restrain imposed by this silly skirt The negative impact of wearing this silly skirt isn't restricted to merely not being able to run for the bus. U can't even run for your life while jaywalking. I think I could have been killed by my skirt today... Anwway thankfully the next bus came in like 15 min and I'm on my way to school... I hope I won't be late for the staff mtg though I will definitely miss the buffet breakfast already ): which means no chocolate eclairs and cheese cake >< Staff mtg vs lectures I never knew mtgs could be so boring! They are far far worse then 1.5 Hr lectures at hc... It's kind of funny that I feel more like a student than a teacher intern... Staff mtg was like about school motto, school history , school target and a whole lot of other admin matters including advising teachers not to jaywalk... Obviously, I fell asleep ): ...at a circle table filled with teachers... It's really terrible how I m surrounded by teachers and I m the only sleepy student (or rather teacher intern) While for lectures I m surrounded by similarly sleepy students with only one or two patrolling teachers >< Mtgs today lasted frm 8am to 4:30...Staff mtg then dept mtg then lower sec sci mtg.... And I have biometric access to staff rm! Yay! Finally won't be pathetically stuck outside staff rms waiting endlessly to beg for bio marks lol Oh it turns out that there wasn't buffet breakfast today (: haha looks like wouldn't mind wearing this skirt again!

Friday, April 9, 2010 @ 6:30 AM Science Odyssey!!
My laptop is no better than a dead piece of metal...I think it is suffering from some sort of full blown virus infection according to my virus scanner... who also happens to tell me that it can't do anything about the virus anyway. Which makes me wonder what it is for... (FYI it's bitdefender Internet sercurity, just in case you are intending to purchase it...) As a result my control panel is an application that "cannot be found", along with many other programmes like Photoshop... So for the poster I m supposed to do for science and research week, I decided to lug a v heavy school tablet pc home to doodle it. The noob way... My noob attempt after a few hours: ( FYI, I never asked to be in pub comm, so...)  Personally I feel it's kinda simple and childish ( which is why I was slightly unhappy when the ppl I showed it to all said "this is SO LAURA!"... How do u define "laura-ness"??!?! I wonder...) Anyway, short commercial break: Sign up for science odyssey!! Substantial amounts of island creamery vouchers up for grabs! You know you want it! And this is a great and easy opportunity to get it! Imagine the amount of happiness u will derive from eating ice cream funded by the school.... Ahhhhhh.....pure bliss.... Plus the bonus is that there will be some fun/exciting/interesting sciency activities along the way... Or if u like, you can think about it the other way round: sciency activity + bonus icecream... it doesn't really matter, all just depends on your priorities... And clearly you know wad's mine!

Friday, April 2, 2010 @ 4:50 AM So not a pharm-er
Ever since the first pharm chem lesson, I knew that I m not meant to be a pharm-er...Circular discs with lines sticking out (Newman projections)... bonds that can't stop rotating... Chairs that don't look like chairs... Flying arrows in all directions (rxn mechanisms)... They all don't make any sense. Why can't bonds just stay still? Why do chairs flip? Why do some molecules just drop off like nobody's business? Seriously. My dad should be blamed for my misery... Since ms Khoo (my ny bio teacher) said that one's intelligence is inherited from your father... (or maybe I just didn't receive the right genes...) My serious lack of aptitude for pharm-ing is clearly reflected in the recent pharm chem lect test. To spare myself from some embarrassment I shan't publicly announce my score to the world... All I shall say is that it's a few points below the cohort ave of 35.9/100... Which really sucks. Since the scoring system for alevel will be like a who-suck-less-gets-merit kind... It sucks to suck more than others ): Actually I was rather neutral abt my results. Like feeling sad because I ought to but not really sad sad I-wanna-cry-my-heart out-sad That was until I had this conversation with QQ who happened to be seated next to me... (not the exact words but this is how the convo went) Me: (seeing a v frustrated looking QQ) aiyah we can feel sad tgt since we hv like the lowest scores in the class ): QQ: but I study v hard!! Me: (abit insulted since he seems to be implying tt I didn't study) but I also got study wad. QQ: (v defensive and li zhi qi zhuang) I read the textbook, read the notes 2 or 3 times and redo the tutorial 2 or 3 times... Me: wow okay. I didn't read tb but I got read notes and redo tutorial la... Why, very insulting to get lower than me isit? QQ: YES! Very insulting to score lower than YOU! Me: (omg abit stunned since I didn't expect him to agree so readily. So I displayed my perfectly parabolic pout.) QQ: Yah. REALLY VERY insulting to score lower than YOU! Me: (omg he had the guts to reiliterate it. Plus emphasing on each word as if to make sure I heard him clearly) Ethel (siting nearby): QQ u SO MEAN!!! Me: yah lor. QQ I don't wanna talk to u already! QQ: I also don't want to talk to you already! Until I score HIGHER than YOU! Me: (pout became a steeper parabola..) ... Honestly I think this convo is more saddening than the score itself... ): back to top? |

Saturday, March 27, 2010 @ 2:08 AM An eventful Kopitiam trip
Thanks to 3 late people, i was "nominated" to go get dinner for everyone at audible hearts yesterday....orders I received 1. Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large 2. Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit 3. 2 popiah no chili 4. Yupian milk 5. Yupian fried no milk In the process of the 5 min walk from hpb to sgh kopitiam, I strategically planned the sequence in which I shall buy the food... I decided to start with order number 1 so as to prevent lugging around of 3 packs of soupy stuff... I approached the stall, whip out my iPhone, and read the order out word for word... (Kenneth Ler is a super glutton... and I feel so paiseh placing such a greedy order since I m so not a greedy person) I look up from my iphone and I was met with smiles from the stall's aunty. You know the kind of laugh-at-you smile. And I tot it was due to the ridiculous order... Aunty says: "Zhe li bu mai shao rou, zhi mai ya fan! " I was lyk huh?? Cos my brain somehow don't register spoken Chinese anymore... (esp after sec 4) So I proceeded to repeat the ridiculously long order "Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large" And the aunty repeated what she said... And I finally got wad she meant -_- I took a step back look up at stall sign and realised I was indeed at duck rice stall... omg so malu Moving on to the next order, I went to the right stall and whip out my iPhone n read the order: "Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit" The uncle was like "what tine???" I said: "no intestine" Uncle point to his bowl of raw liver and say " don't want liver isit? Zhe li mei you what-tine..." I was like okay crap he don't have intestine in any of his ingredient bowls so I figured that yockie placed her order wrongly resulting in my malu-ness ): Throughout the whole process of cooking the noodle, the uncle kept laughing away and repeating "what-tine?" So as soon as it food wad ready, I quickly took it and left... Moving on to the next order... I was collecting my popiah order (that went rather well) when i noticed the noodle shop uncle frantically waving in my direction... " ni de mian!! Ni de mian mei na" Huh I thought I collect already? But how come he really seems to be calling me?? Everyone was lyk looking at me so I decided to walk over to the shop... Turned out I took the soup without the mee... Another reason for the uncle to laugh ): Thankfully the yu pian mi fen orders were not as problematic as the rest...phew... Hopefully I won't need to get dinner for everyone in near future (: spare myself some malu-ness haha... (: back to top? |

Sunday, March 14, 2010 @ 8:51 AM Bus Trauma
Friday night's bus ride home from HPB was really memorable....In a horrible and disgusting way ): Because the bus was INFESTED with COCKROACHES!!! Not just any cockroach, these are really HUGE and FAT and THICK I shall hereby provide you a vivid account of my experience... An old creepy, but otherwise innocent, bus 54 arrives after 10 min of waiting time at around 9:30pm... Me board bus. Engrossed in ep 7 of glee on my iPhone... Find a seat near the front n happily watch glee... Cockroach no. 1: Suddenly my peripheral vision caught sight of this muddish brownish roundish thingy scuttling around near my feet ... Brain registers that it is a cockroach. Me Panic but stay calm. Conscious effort to stifle scream. And successful at that. (So admirable right?) Cockroach no. 2: Move to middle back of the bus...Continue to watch glee... Most unfortunately, i spotted yet another cockroach!!!!!!! And this time, it's fatter n bigger than the previous ): And a trickier situation too... Simply because the cockroach strategically positioned itself smack in the middle of the narrow aisle of the 2 rows of seats. Which made it really difficult to get out of my current seat. considering the worse case scenario, my attempt to get out of seat may coincide with an irritating jerk of the bus, resulting in me stepping, not on, but very very near the cockroach, causing a disturbance that sends it flying to my leg. Ewwwwww yuckkkkkkkk (Life sucks.... Esp when there r cockroaches in it) However, seeing that the pesty little thing seems to be advancing towards me.... I took a great leap of faith. N managed to get out of there unscathed.... Again, I maintained my composure and shut my mouth. Cockroach no. 3: Oh yes. It doesn't stop there. I sat down on yet another seat so I may enjoy the remaining of the ep of glee... Clearly that was a wrong decision. Because no. 3 came striding by from behind the seat. This time round I'm sure I have earned the right to let out my signature scream. So I did just that. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (acompanied with a jump out of the seat) Luckily there were only 3 others who had the priviledge to experience my resounding scream (: One of whom was an ang moh who spent the rest of his journey keeping his eyes on the seat where no. 3 was... .... I was so so so so extremely grossed out by the whole journey that I bathed and bathed when I got home ): I hate dirty buses. They make life suck. I am determined not to spend the 2nd half of my life travelling via public transport, whatever it may take... ): back to top? |
