working right now! heh, my first time using the website for personal use hee! I've finished earlier than expected! LOL, just completed the last section, which is the report practice, which I thought I will take 8 hours to finish, but hee heee, I took 6 hours to finish! Initially, my plan was to finish within 3 hours, that is, completing it in the morning but argh, I can hardly concentrate due to lack of sleep (i really really have to change this late sleeping habit of mine I guess)

So I tried my best to finish as much as possible before I went a late lunch at 1:30pm. For that hour, I had this feeling I'm going to faint anytime. The sun is practically burning me and it doesn't help much even when in shelter. By the time I came back, even thought I walked really slowly, I actually felt my heart pumping really really fast. ):

To add on it, I've haven't been feeling well since the morning after I drank red tea. I think I've drank too much tea. For the past week, I have been constantly drinking tea in my office, and I just Google the side effects of drinking tea, one of the side effect with "giddy". And there's so much fluorine in the tea, my favorite tea cup (I like to lie to myself saying that this tea cup is my lucky cup who brings me wonderful colleagues, because I only start using when I was in Motorola) has turned brown at it's base. ): looks and feel so used already.

Waiting for my supervisor to come back to look at the practice I've done. heh, boringgg. and my handphone is left with one bar of battery. ): cannot use it to watch movies. sad.

math

4th day of work. cleared the first step of work - understanding the front end user interface practically. Next I have to work on back-end interfacing practically. When my superior asked me what are the deadline I'm giving myself, I replied Friday. 

I'm worried I can't finish by Friday though. I used close to 4 days for Front End, and Back End looks more complicated than anything, so... :/ heee, cannot sms that much, go for toilet breaks that much i guess.

Heh, was going throught some maths question with my mum. LOLLLL, cos apparantly, Lee Woon returned me $200 already but all I can remember are pieces of memories like "next time have to remind me you return me money already, if not I forget", "don't return first, later very hard to calculate", "I can return you this much only, if not later no money to take cab liao". like such pieces which I can't seem to join them.

So I checked my expenses book (phew, lucky I keep track!) and then tally tally, but something is still wrong, then I went to check my i-banking account, it really doesn't tally. Thinking I might have calculated something wrongly, I went to ask my mum, who pointed out where the fault is.

heeee, many a times I really admired my mum and felt it's a waste my mum didn't continue her studies when she was younger. 

quite fast huh time, tomorrow is Wednesday already! :)

MONDAY!

3rd day of working! Got pretty high today after knowing that there will be a steamboat held in my Motorola's colleague house this coming Friday!

Had the Liang Mei brought in Taiwan for dinner, the improvised one, which taste better than the last week one! :D then online from 8pm-2am. LOL, I was thinking of sleeping at 1am, but heh, was engrossed in discussing future path with Catherine, Yuling and my cousin Wei Siong. Talking to them.. really makes me feel so immature.

I wanted to write the many things I regretted, and then I realized regretting has no use, I have to pick up from here and look forward.

I should just stay focus on the path I chosen and stop regretting whatever that has been done because it's pointless crying over split milk. 5 years is fast, I'm going to treat it as if I've just started Secondary School at 21 years old...

Was reading a whole chunk of Libra's character, heh,but out of all, I love this paragraph!

The other paragraph really make me feel like LOL, like Libra = sad case.

" 很多时侯我们会很情绪化的，对于周围的人、事、物，有着一大堆的抱怨。很想找一个会跟自己“同仇敌忾”的人吐吐苦水。这时侯，你最好别去烦一个天秤座的女人。因为，理性而公正的她是不会跟你一个鼻孔出气的。蟹座或是鱼座的女人或许会完全感染你的情绪；白羊座的或狮子座的女人可能会想个办法帮你出气；瓶座的女人可能一言不发地静心聆听。而天秤座的女人呢？她会把事从到尾替你整理一次，然后告诉你，有哪些地方是你的不对，哪些地方是对方理亏。接下来应该如何应对，办法一…办法二…。她是不负责处理情绪的，但是，她的确可以帮助你处理问题。因此，遇到了疑难杂症可以找她，莫名的情绪就另请高明吧。"

Hehlo! (Heh as in Hair, that's how I see the word, i know it doesn't sound this way, lol, I've just go-ogled and listen to the pronunciation). Decided to work hard in learning, stayed in office till 7pm to finish what I have plan to finish tomorrow. good, which means I have the whole time tomorrow to concentrate on testing and understanding the reports part, as well as improvising the previous exercises I've done if there's a need to.

I brought a table calendar to my work place, and on it is my task schedule which I set to myself. I believe this is going to be helpful. Other than that, Canon's calendar quality is either too good/too bad I couldn't write on it. ): but the material is good, and yes, so are the photos on it. Glad I took it when I visit Canon's service a month or two ago. Oh, it's in my home right now.

I only develop the habit of using table calendar after Siew Yen once commented she can't bear to throw her table calendar away because it helps her keep track of her past events.

Should I just study at SIM because if I did, I have the money to travel travel travel. okay, I'm just saying. heh, my aim is still ANU la, so far. LOL , SO FAR.

因为你值得

So long since I last met Peiyu already! The last time was like last year during the loreal sales if I didn't remember wrongly.

Anyway! met Peiyu, who was close to close to 30 minutes at Lakeside before we head of to Orchard! urghhh, I almost couldn't place my finger on where to stop because Orchard seems pretty unfamiliar to me right now, and also, we didn't know where on earth in Orchard do we exactly want to stop at heh.

So in the end, we alighted at Orchard, and took the train back to Dhoby Ghaut to have lunch at Just Acia. Even Just Acia looks unfamiliar to me! He he, ordered something different finally because the spicy chicken set which I always had is $0.30 expensive than before. and uhm, $6.90 and $7.20, it looks so different even though it's just a $0.30 difference! xD plus, the new additional dishes looks tempting too!

Peiyu ordered Chicken Teriyaki Spagetti while me, still reminiscing the Hot Spring Ramen in Taipei Beitou, ordered Chicken Ramen, at only $6.90. Damn, the Hot Spring Ramen is making me addictive to everything which has "Ramen" in it!




Peiyu ordering dishes!

 I like this photo a lot, heh, 认真的女人最有魅力~

2nd day of work!

took this after work ended at 7pm. 

working is boring and depressing so far since it's only the 2nd day. Every job of mine started out like that, even Motorola, which I took 2 months plus to adjust and then started to enjoy! For the video store, I took close to 4 months to adjust and 8 months to start to enjoy. So yes, I just have to bear with the beginning and everything will turn out good.

argh, I hope I won't fall into the state of laziness soon because I need the money desperately to study overseas. ANU ANU ANU. now I've decided to go only 5 years later, because 2 years is way too impossible given my current pay, 3 years is close to impossible,  4 years is my target, but 5 years is definitely enough for me to save up the money.

oh! results are out! B+ like almost everyone! but it doesn't seem to pull my overall GPA. ):

食尚晚家 - 样样吃，天天迟 conclusion!

Looking at the photos taken during the Taiwan trip makes me miss Taiwan a lot. Although the photos I took this time round aren't ideal, but they are enough to get me wishing that I'm still in Taiwan, still over there, at that instant moment doing what the photo has captured.

I miss the food the most, my 园山凉面，市林绵绵冰，长形波霸可可奶茶，北投温泉拉面，鸡扒。

The place I've missed most would have to be Shihlin, where I almost successfully steal a hat from one of the illegal stall holder who had to run away because the police is arriving. Where I regretted not getting a bag for myself at only SGD$12. Where I ate and got addicted to 绵绵冰, and tried my first (hopefully not my last)爱玉。Where we almost missed the last train and where I walked for hours non-stop on my newly brought platform gladiator wedges.

The place I would definitely want to visit again would have to be Yang Ming Shan, which I didn't managed to finish all the must-visit spots there even though we went there twice because the first time was a flop with the aid of the weather. The second time was not so bad, the weather was pretty cold but I survived despite wearing shorts which is pretty translucent cos Lee Woon said she can see Spongebox Squarepants heh.

And the place I enjoyed the most would have to be NTU & Beitou. NTU is so relaxing, and the few hours spent there feels like just a short while. Like living in a stress-less place, like living in Meteor Garden haha. And Beitou, another stress-less place, roaming the town without any location in mind, taking our own sweet time exploring the super market and getting groceries from there like their instant noodles, going for their hot spring, and trying hot spring for the 2nd time (with the first when I was 9 in Korea) without clothes, heh, like an animal lol.

This trip wouldn't have been so good without my friends, who gave in to me a lot I must say and who didn't blame me for so many mistakes I've made.

Day 7 of Taiwan Trip - Shih Lin Night Market

Woke up close to afternoon once again :p the weather today was very warm, it's so totally felt like we were in Singapore. love such weather. :D cos I get to wear tank tops and shorts and stockings! ^^ but not to Lee Woon, who prefer the cold weather haha.

but I didn't expect the weather today to be so warm, so I worn two layers of stockings, one thick and one sheer stockings, and shirt, only to realise it was so hot after I stepped out of the hotel, so after reaching the Beitou museum, I immediately went to the toilet and took off the thick stockings but cos I didn't bring another set of clothes, I had to wear my shirt for the day.  inside the Beitou Hot Spring museum..



an miniature display of the Beitou hot spring museum.



tried an most daring act in my life today and eh, as it is only for my own collection, i shouldn't show it here. courage courage courage. ^^ after finish touring the museum, we set off to the Thermal Valley and also Beitou Ramen family resturant to have a try of the famous Ramen! :D



it was so hot, a ice cream would be perfect! :D the little boy below is cuter than he seems in this photo i swear! okay lor, blame my poor photography skill la. ;( he he he, I asked the little boy's mum if I can take a photo of him, and his mum went "Huh? what's there to take?" hahaha, but she allowed me to take a photo of him la. ^^



walking towards the Beitou Hot Spring Ramen store, love the photo below. :)







and within minutes, we reached and was greeted by the long queue! there were at least 30 people in the queue. We decided to queue anyway because we are here already~ :)

the plastic bag which contains our barang barang from the supermarket last night.

   

while queueing, we had nothing much to do, so we took photos! :D loved the set of photos we took. ^^

   

after waiting for quite some time, it was finally our turn! :) luckily the restaurant was air conditioned, if not.. o.m.g



the toufu which tastes really good!! I had such a hard time controlling myself to stop digging continuously because we were sharing the toufu. if we had toufu individually, i think i would have finished it in no time!



the hot spring egg which tastes rather funny, heh, perhaps it's because i'm not used to it. :)



a close up version of the hot spring egg.



me with my ramen! :D :D :D :D :D *insert infinity happy emotions*



this ramen tasted the best to me, although both Lee Woon and Shiyun agreed that there's isn't really anything special about this ramen, but but but, it was so delicious to me I actually got hooked to ramen after trying this!



yummy yummy yummy x infinity! :D  after finishing our lunch, there was this bubble tea concept store beside the ramen store and it look so peaceful i would love to spend some time there, but the buble tea were so expensive it wouldn't be worth.



so we continued to walk to the thermal valley...





  

he he, me acting like a old school student. :D the two bags on the left belongs to me! one from the supermarket last night, and the another from NP Open House LOL! the water from the waterfall were hot water which is 100 degree Celsius. after we reached the thermal valley, the first comment we gave was "wahhhh so hot!!!". like really, crazily hot. ><  the water were boiling water.. we joked about buying an egg and then cooking using the water and we will get our own DIY hot spring egg for close to free LOL hahaha.


 we took the photos below with much difficulties because it was so hot and we had to act like "oh, it's so cool!" LOLLL









after ending the trip to Thermal Valley, we saw a bubble tea shop again just at the foot of the valley and we brought it without much thought because we need something cold! had chocolate bubble tea again, but it wasn't really nice. :/ then we walked to the MRT station and took a train back to Taipei Main Station, and returned to our hotel to place our things down.



After placing our things down, we went off to Shih Lin Night Market! :D



our stockings! i changed to my newly brought gladiators platform sandals because I was afraid my shoes wouldn't last long. ):



reached Shih Lin Night Market! :D there were this group of people who were collecting donations for the victims of the Japan Tsunami.







people mountain people sea!!



tourist photo! ^^











this store was rather famous online too! I auctally brought online from them when I was just 17 (2007) hahaha. I remember wearing them to Far East with Peiyu when I just brought them. :D brought top for my mum in this shop this time round!



one of the alleys which we went into. :D







it's been so long since I last tried this! the last time was when I was 8 years old in Paris Ris Fish pond, heh, an excursion organized by the student care centre I attended. after that, we need the loo, so we went to the shopping mall acroos the road and LOL, i mistaken the directions given by the staff of the shopping mall. -.- hehehe.  anyway, after we return to ShihLin, we brought JIPA again! :D :D this JIPA we brought this time round tastes good!!! thumbs up!!!



and then we saw a man selling off the newly borne puppies. 3 weeks only.. I remember one should be sausage dog, but the another one, i couldn't remember. ):



after that, we walked on and on and on and eventually we decided to have a short break in Starbucks, again, across the another street of the another end of Shih Lin. After the short break, we chiong again, and coincidentally chanced upon the famous 辛發亭冰品店 . We queue up for it, and heng-fully, the queue moved fast. :D didn't see any chocolate related Mian Mian Bing, so tried Strawberry and honey aloe. I prefer the strawberry one. tastes sweeter ^^. it was so good I actually hunt for something similar in SG, which is.. the store JIDECHI. :D well, although the ice wasn't as soft as the one in Shilin, but it was comparable! ^^










we continued walking and only left the place at 12mn. hehe, all the stores were going to close by then, but we managed to da bao the smelly toufu. ^^



saw this cute statue and i knew i had to take with it! :D then then then, we actually got lost, so we asked the staff in one of their convenience shop who directed us to the nearest station at then. we had to walk really fast because we might miss the last train, which, phew, heng-fully, we didn't! :D after reaching Taipei Main station, we sat by the stairs of the station and ate our smelly toufu, hmmm, it does stink, but it wasn't really nice. :/ oh well!




 then we got back to our hotel and LOL, watched the HiPlay (or was it another name?) which couldn't be found in SG. heeeeee hahaha. koreans are never this funny before! :p
last second day tomorrow!
