Not again?

Okies. I don't what to say but.. I really miss my working laptop!!! I miss no one as much as you, my dear gal! Hais.

Yesh. I have gottem my laptop back. BUt to my astonishment, I couldn't find my airport. What the hell? In the past, each time I switched my laptop. It could automatically detect network. Now, I could even find airport in my list of network status. I suspected that it was installed. I went to System Profiler, and there was no information about the airport. Sian half, man..

So, I went on and conducted this hardware test. I got an error code: 4MEM/1/40000000: 0c79301c I couldn't find the meaning of this code online! Looks like I gotta call the hotline tomorrow again!

Si Jia Hui, he offered to help. But I asked him.. “Do you know anything about Max?” He gave me a face and a straightforward answer “Sorry.” Asked me to resell my laptop somemore! Like that I can faint man!!!!

Haha.. Pathetic, man. I sat there and clicked here and there while my mucus ran right into my mouth all the times. In the end, I needed to stuff tissues to block my nose holes! I clicked until I wanted to cry sia! But I managed to maintain my poise. I can do it, man! Surely.. I will get my macbook working soon! Cos I am

Don't worry, I will pray for you.
Okies. Some ben dan brought this for me. Trying to tell me that he will pray for me when I am in Philippines. Instead, this picture actually reminds me of Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu practicing Yu Nu Xin Jing in the woods. Haha. Nonetheless, I want to thank the "ben dan" for his kind thought. Hey, ben dan, you are "ben" but kind! Thank you so muchies =]

Smile and the world will smile with you.

I brought this. This is so sweet!!! It is kinda true. So from now onwards, MUST SMILE A LOT!

Today went to the first lesson for BS2 (big thanks to Elvy for squeezing me during the last min). Jeremy was the joy of the class. His wrong-direction "the" confused everyone. In the end, afew of us signed the wrong "the, thanks to him! Haha. Our instructor for the day, Lili Goh, was so cute. She has super animated expressions. When she did the facial expression for "seduce", we laughed until wana faint. HAha. Actually, half of the times, I didn't get what she was signing. I am reading bad at reading signs. Must really work harder.

After watching [爱•特别的你], I am even more motivated to be a volunteer. I want to give these kids their deprived childhood. I want to be one of their many joys in life. At the same time, I want them to be the joys and inspiration in my life.

Foul day

In super foul mood today. Early in the morning, my dad said that he doesn't want me to go for GIP. He said that I had so many problems while staying in hall for 3 months. Going overseas for 3 months? He couldn't be rest assured. I was very upset and ended breaking down in the toilet.

So how? Will I have any hope of going for GIP?

fond memories~

Damn pek chek. My mum nagged non-stop at me, saying that I swept the floor for so long and I was not done yet. She went on and on until I want to bang my head into the wall and seal the wall with cement. And, we got this cold war again.

Went through my old stuff! Found a lot of fond memories, man!!

Item No. 1: My old primary school library card! Haha. Last time, my mum always likes to braid my hairs. I didn't really like it because 1. it was quite painful 2. I look like I am from Mainland. Haha.


Item No. 2: My student pass from Secondary school days. Back then, we had to buy bus stamp and paste it on the student pass. It was so cute!


Item No. 3: My primary school autography book! Haha. I found Ah San's and Ah Kai's entries.



Item No. 4: My primary school Prefect badge. Seriously, I totally forgot that I had this badge. I only remembered that I had a Prefect tie but I had returned it.


Item No. 5: This is the keychain Madam Quek got for us when she went overseas. She was my favorite teacher. I remembered I treasure it so well. Wiped it everyday de!


Item No. 6: My sis and I after shower. We were getting ready for school.. My mum liked to comb all our hairs up.. SO ShangHai Tang lei! orbit!


Item No. 7: This photo was taken during one of the buffet outing during the Giro days. Picture perfect if the last few people were to be erased off the picture, rite? Haha.


Item No. 8: Hey, the person who sent this?!?! Do you still remember it, man?

I am mad.

And I need to breathe.

Go for it, Mansura!

Finally got to swim with Ah San today. After close to half a year, we got to swim! Unfortunely, we managed to swim for 1 hr and 15 min only. It is sad. She will not be able to make it for the coming 4 saturdays. =[ Anyway, we managed to got a little darker~ Haha. No more bai bai le!

Today's tuition was quite stressful. Masura's mum brought her a Normal Academic assessment book. She doesn't learn all those that in school. I had quite a hard time teaching her. Hais. Poor gal. I wonder does she understand what is going on? Hopefully, she can promote to Express classes.

Go for it, Mansura! You can do it!

Finally met up with Sabrina today. Sab brought me to Waraku for dinner. She said the food there is yummmy and I should try it. Yups. Indeed! I enjoyed my dinner so muchies. But it was quite costly. She suggested that she should treat me to the dinner and I should treat her to movie then. We were uncertain of which movies to watch since we both kinda lost touch with movies. In the end, we settled on "Nancy Drew". Haha. I sat in the cinema with not much expectation. But I was caught off guard. The movie was very okies. I would say it is above average. It was funny and entertaining.

It is great to meet up with Sab. She has always been encouraging. Many times, I wanted to give up on this path. She's there to give me moral supports and that extra push to restore the balance. She always treats me, saying that it will be my turn to treat after I graduate. I am really grateful to her. Her faith in me gives me the strength to venture on.

Things aren't easing out for me. I am still feeling jinx. Unexpectedly, I find joys in my heart. Everyone around me is happy and doing great.

[ Boon Wah is enjoying his new job and welcoming his third child. ]

[ Francis is finding simple joys in his current job. The rest of the CPF clique (especially Wei Ling) escaped from the "hell" and are moving on. Stanley finally found a job. ]

[ Ah San is getting more serious about her spending habits. She even starts a spending plan. On Tuesday when I saw her at JEC, I looked at her in a different light. She has matured; I am proud of her. ]

[ Ah Kai found delights and laughter in her daycare centre. ]

[ Rainbow, although not having superb relationship with her husband, makes wonderful bonds with her three princesses. ]

[ As for Sab, although she is complaining about her bonus, I could feel that she likes her job. I am so glad that she is settling down. She was the one who didn't graduate from polytechnic. In the end, she is the more "settled" one in the clique. ]

I am tearing on the journey home and now while i am typing them out. A spasm of joys and hopes rushes to my heart. They cause a surge in my system. I realize that we are all heroes and heroines in life. Each of us draws his or her painting of life within the larger force of life. Each stroke of brush paints a different colour, creating a master piece. There is no right or wrong; no beautiful or ugly. We are beautiful in our own way.

Listening to 五月天's 天使 now

" 你就像天使一樣　給我依賴　給我力量 "

Thanks you for each of you, for being the angels of my life, giving me the strength, courage and faith to create my master piece. I will not give up. I will continue to find my happiness. One day, I will definitely grasp it...

BBQ @ Dan's

Am I that unluckily or Mac is really that lousy?

Wa, this is really putting my patience to tests. Mac really has lousy after-sale services. Last month, I couldn't switch on my Macbook because there was this flashing question mark all the times. The Customer Service Officer (CSO) at the call centre told me to bring my laptop down to the service centre because it was a sign that the hard disk gonna crash. I was kinda stunned. I brought the laptop in March. My sister said given my reputation (the fact that I spoilt 2 laptops in 2 months), it was unsurprising. Okies, I accepted that it could be my fault.

Did the usual things: brought my Macbook down to Wheelocks Epic Centre, told them the problems, they sent it to TPY to change the hard disk bah bah. When it came to collection, I was surprised that a world renowned brand will just send you a message to inform you. Surprise No. 2: They never even INDICATE who they are. My god. But I guess they didn't expect that they will have electronic killer customers like me who happened to send my phone to Nokia Service Centre at Wheelocks and laptop to Wheelocks' Epic Centre. At least, Nokia called me to inform me that my phone was ready for collection.

Then again third days after collection, my Macbook malfunction again! This time, whenever I switched on the laptop, I was asked to restart again. No matter how many zillion times I restarted, I still got the message, man. Arugh. This time my sister scolded me really fiercely lo. She said that I should stop using any electronics since I always spoilt them. I felt maligned; I don't believe i am that formidable that I can spoil a laptop in 2 days! But what could I say? All the evidence pointed to me.

Again, I brought my Macbook down to Wheelocks. They told me it was Kernel Shock. The technician, who changed my hard disk, forgot to change my loading board. This caused a shock to the system. Upon hearing this, I tried to maintain my politeness but gave a super big roll of my eyes! Wa liao ar~! Okies okies. Probably the person is also as blur as me. So i tried to forgive him or her, though I felt pek chek sia.

It has been 2 weeks, 2 weeks without any news of my Macbook. I wonder what happened to it sia. The CSO said I can collect it after 5-6 days. Called them yesterday, they said the part just arrived. I could collect it tomorrow. During the evening, they called me again. Wa seh, this time said my hard disk crashed again. Cannot switch on. I had the shock of my life sia. I kept asking the person how come like that. He kept asking me if it is okies that i lose all the data. This is the last straw, man. I raised my voice abit and said: " Can you tell me what happen ar? I brought this laptop for less than a year lei. In fact, less than haf a year lei." The person told me that this time he would make sure that everything will be okies (I was thinking so the last time round, you all never make sure?). He asked me again: " So it will be okies to lose the data right?" Well, what can i say? "I guess no choice right? There is nothing you can do now right? Den nvm lo. Just make sure it is workable lo."

Haha. Thinking back, I feel I was kinda rude. It is not his fault. Maybe it is just me. Alot of people use Macbook and feel that it is okies. It's just my luck, man. Hais. I told my sister about it. She said I should ask for an exchange for a new one. My mother also said so. But is it possible?? Hopefully this time round, everything will be okies lo. =]

vivo city with ah san and ah kai ♥

Thank you, San & Kai. I had a wonderful time. Never have so muchies fun! Lotsa loves for you two!

Qifa's days

Today we (Ah San, Ah Kai + me) finally went back to our primary school: Oifa Primary School! It has been around four years since I last went back. As I walked along the same road that lead to that building which I spent my gon gon years in, beautiful memories found me.

It was saddening that major parts of our old buildings are torn down for reconstruction. The canteen, hall, assembly square are newly constructed. Even the flag poles are new, man! One weird thing is that, the chinese name for Qifa Primary School is 启发学校, not 启发小学. Ah Kai and I remembered very clearly that it was 启发小学 lo. My memory might be bad, but I trust Ah Kai's. This is puzzling, man.

Luckily, our classroom buildings are still standing tall and proud! Haha. The classroom layout is quite messy though. Last time, all the classes were arranged according to levels. Now, all the levels are mixed in each floor. We had a hard time looking for our classrooms! FINALLY, we found our classroom for 6E. Haha. Now the students decorate the glass panels outside the classrooms. And, the "6E classroom" has the most interesting and colourful decorations (see the picture below, bottom right corner).


Top left corner: Our Staircase! I remember I always rushed down for lunch before my Prefect duty (if not, no time for lunch sia >< haha).

Top right corner: Our pond! We still to go there to observe tadpoles for our science classes. There were alot of tadpoles there!!! Not quite a pleasant sight, man! Haha. There were a couple of rabbits there also. I always liked to go there and stare at them. I wonder what happened to them...

Bottom left corner: Ah San's empty space where her girl scouts would gather. Last time, when I was in the science club, I always looked at them and regretted not joining the girl scouts.



Top left corner: Ah Kai's science's corner! She always had to guard that corner for her Prefect duty. When I was slack, I would sat there with Hui Xian or Yvonne or by myself.

Bottom left corner: I cannot remember this but San and Kai said that we used to pass money out through the gaps to the prefects so that they could help us buy lunches first.

Bottom right corner: Now, they have the Cleanest Class Certification. SO cool!

Other memories include:
[ San and Kai always ran down to their slibling's class to look for them. ]

[ Jian Xian always fought with his Indian boy in class. Once he threw his shoe out of the window. Mrs Lim scolded him. He was unhappy and wanted to hit the teacher. In the end, police was included. I wonder how he is now. Although he is violent, he is very loyal one. He told me while in secondary school if anyone bullied me, I could look for him. =[ ]

[ Yik Liang and Jian Xian, the tough guys, got freak out when they had to take BCG. I think Yik Liang cried. ]

[ We miss the sports day held in our own school field. It feels like we owned our sport day. Unless secondary school. We had to go the stadium. It was so commercialized. Once I joined this skipping event. We got ourselves dirty with mud but that kinda time could be found anymore now. Ah san said they drew some nice pictures on the blackboard after one sports day. The drawing was so beautiful but they had to erase it off because they feared that the teacher will scold them. Haha ]

[ Oh ya, not to forgot our five stones and zero point! We liked to play zero point at the area behind the school hall during recess time. And that area, is where we would brush our teeth together once a week. So cute! I love the mini mug and tooth brush. Gee. And I always forgot to bring that. Haha. ]

[ Sher Ning liked to struggle me during class. Kian Suan would always ask him to stop. ]

Those were really the days and I really miss those days. It is impossible to go back to those day now! But a lesson to be learnt is.. always do create beautiful history so that one day when you sit there and think back, memories will bring an unexpected smile.
