<br />
I never was into Feng Shui and always took it with a pitch of salt because in some years it's extremely true and other times it was not.<br />
<br />
So when I first saw this I had my scepticism.<br />
<br />
One thing you should know about Feng Shui is that different masters have differing deciphers. I am not sure how they calculate the fortune (apparently through astrology) but sometimes when I looked at another source, it said the complete different thing from the previous source I read.<br />
<br />
As per the link, this year my Zodiac is forecast to be exceptionally good.<br />
<br />
It has been mediocre for the past three years but this year is predicted to be extremely well that it's hard to be true.<br />
<br />
Every Chinese New Year, Feng Shui masters will come up with their own deciphered lists of prosperity , health and so on of each Zodiac Animal. The typical few topics that they will forecast are Wealth, Love Life, Health and Career. Then they will give you some advice on how you deal with problems if you are predicted to do not so well, and also to remind to grab hold of opportunities to those who will do better.<br />
<br />
What was predicted to be extremely well for my Zodiac were two things that I really wanted.<br />
<br />
These two things topped my list and they were what I have been wishing and praying for but to no avail.<br />
<br />
So when I first saw this write up on my Zodiac, I was elated over the moon! Sceptical as I always am, I immediately googled up more for Feng Shui articles for this up coming Chinese new year. These different sources said almost the same thing!<br />
<br />
FOR THE FIRST TIME!<br />
<br />
But I guess, it's still too early to be happy now since it's still two months away from the new year. Perhaps the predictions I read may be wrong. And I should wait when it's closer to the new year to look up on the predictions again. By then, more write ups will be available (by different masters) and I could cross-reference of its reliability.<br />
<br />
No matter this source be true or not, I had already acknowledge this as the confirmed write up of my Zodiac and gonna abide by this. My mood is already up lifted and well positive outlook will tide me over all difficulties right~<br />
<br />
So this year MUST be a good year for me.<br />
<br />
I can't wait!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I'm not going to sit here and do nothing. I shall do something to boast my luck and chances in achieving the two things!<br />

Like several politicians, they always have small long programs to complement with their long term policy.<br />
<br />
Stalin is one of them who used three 5 years short term plans in his vision to industrialise USSR.<br />
<br />
I took some time to figure things out and put down on "paper". Now what is left is discipline.<br />

<br />
Usually I won't bother writing one as I don't see the point of it since I always throw them at the back of my head when I am done writing. But ever since I drew up one for 2014, I realised that I actually set myself to fulfill these targets.<br />
<br />
I guess my increase in maturity played a part as well as me taking life more seriously than ever. At my age, I realised time is slipping away and any time waste is an opportunity cost. Therefore, I should lay down some targets and push myself in completing them.<br />
<br />
Some of them are meant to be challenging, but that's the point right? If you don't set high targets you probably won't be able to break boundaries. They should be renamed "to do" instead of resolutions.<br />
<br />
So here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Find my MoMo!<br />
2. Complete my Diploma in Performance<br />
3. Start my first investment.<br />
4. Get my business going<br />
5. Self-Study Korean and finish Book 2- 4<br />
6. Go for topik 3<br />
7. Go overseas twice!<br />
8. Increase my salary! ^^ (now I wonder how do I make this work)<br />
9. Learn cantonese and being able to speak it<br />
<br />
That's it for now, I can't really think of any more but this will be revised. Not that I will be removing them, but instead adding more in.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-23673517329527038912014-12-31T13:17:00.000+08:002014-12-31T13:40:13.992+08:00The Year of 2014The Year 2014 has finally come to an end.<br />
<br />
It's time to reflect back on what I have done right and wrong.<br />
<br />
This year has been a year full of transitions. I have been through different stages of life all in one go which is a good and bad thing. Bad thing is that, because of the constant changes, I had a hard time (and still am) trying to find my balance and settle into my environment. By that I mean adjusting my body and sleeping hours to suit the momentum as well as mentally hypnotise myself that I am no longer a student but a working adult. Good thing is, I saved lots of time. Instead of spending a year for each transition, I do it in one go.<br />
<br />
Normally, fresh graduates will spend a few months after being out of school, to relax before flying off for their graduation trip. Then, after their graduation trip, spend another couple of months partying before settling down on a job. So the process can take about a year plus.<br />
<br />
For me it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>First Four Months</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I was in my final semester and was stressing for my projects. I can't recall what modules I took because it seems AGES ago but I was really angst about the project and worried if I can graduate successfully. If I didn't manage to clear all my modules, my graduation trip due in two months time would be cancelled, I will have to attend next year's graduation ceremony instead of this year without my friends plus, job search would have to start next year.<br />
<br />
Finally had my ABRSM theory exams in March, one that have been dragged for ages.<br />
<br />
I sat for my final exams in May and then after that was the anxious wait for the release of results.<br />

<u><b>June</b></u><br />
<br />
Due to my incredible splurging habit, I <strike>predict</strike> know that I would more or less exceed the budget I had set aside for myself for the upcoming graduation trip, so I got myself a part time job to save up a bit more before I fly at the end of June. Even though it was my last school holiday, I didn't managed to rest as much as I wanted to.<br />
<br />
Mid June my results came out. My grades wasn't that fantastic, but on the bright side, I managed to graduate successfully!<br />
<br />
I have also managed to save up more than my budget to go on my grad trip.<br />

<u><b>July</b></u><br />
<br />
Made new friends who unsurprisingly came from Singapore but managed to befriend some of the locals.<br />
<br />
Travelled to Busan which is another province of South Korea and had a blast!<br />
<br />
Finished our project that we have been struggling to complete, but actually it doesn't really matter since we don't gain any credits for it.<br />
<br />
On the last week of July, I finally went to the country I have been wanting to go FOR YEARS.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">JAPAN!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As it was summer and the hottest period of the year, the scenery wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was a major disappointment.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not because I didn't get to see Japan in its most spectacular period but because several things had not meet my expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This Japan trip has been on my list for as long as I remember but when I finally reached the land of the rising sun, I was slapped real hard by reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I realised I had been living in a fantasy that those Anime and Manga I read, have been feeding me with. It has been romanticised. In fact, Japan was pretty much like Korea and Singapore. Looking back I realised I have always been portraying Japan as another realm. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nonetheless, I still want to go back to Japan in another season, visiting its other province. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>August</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Convocation! My graduation ceremony. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am finally a graduate!<br />
<br />
After 3 years of worrying and struggling, I finally made it!<br />
<br />
I was back from my graduation trip on the first week of August just in time to try out my graduation regalia and celebrate National Day.<br />
<br />
My teaching schedule resumes and I'm busy once more. This time I didn't take up any part time job. However, I still don't have time to slack around because I was busy job hunting.<br />
<br />
Going interviews to interviews was hard and demoralising especially when one of my Uni friend already gotten herself a job. She too, just came back from Korea but in my defence, she started her search at least a week earlier.<br />
<br />
Thank god, after three weeks later that I received a call back and was offered a full-time job.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>September- December </b></u><br />
<br />
Officially started my working life and here I am now, working my ass off.<br />
<br />
So far so good, nothing too life threatening and unpleasant.<br />
<br />
Even though working life is exhausting and irritating, I had a great time during this period. In fact, I managed to fulfil one of my goals that I had initially set for the upcoming year. It was merely pure luck.<br />
<br />
Long story cut short, I decided to give X and wrote in knowing that I will not get it as for the past few years they have not been replying back. Well who knows, the deal went through!<br />
<br />
I was really elated! That means that my goal is now complete!<br />
<br />
..<br />
..<br />
<br />
To sum it up, I really had a good year amidst the several transitions that I have to go through.<br />
I managed to tick off several of the resolutions that I had set myself last year this period which is good sense of achievement.<br />
<br />
I will be writing up my resolution for the new year as well, but at a later date.<br />
<br />
I really wish I would have a better 2015 and I hope you guys managed to tick off several of your last year's resolutions as well!<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when I planted the seed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it may soon not live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when it grew bigger,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it will soon shrink smaller.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when its first leaf appeared,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it will soon grow brown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when its first bud came out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it will soon drop out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when it has its petal ,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it will soon be its last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day when it dried out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the day has come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good days don't last long,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it will soon be gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's why you have to seize those days,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and keep it in your heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Lunar New Year becomes quite boring as you age because the routine is always the same and the programs is just as stale. Ang Bao don't make you happy anymore. The only thing that is worth looking forward to is the reunion dinner and its array of choices. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I guess because I have always been around with my family that's why I don't feel the significance of the event unlike all other friends who had gone sentimental due to the distance between them and their family.</div>

I should be grateful....</div>

<br />
Took me several attempts to get this. The first few attempts failed because there wasn't ample sunlight, so I switched the area. This time not only did it work but my efforts actually paid off and "blossom"! Such an excitement when I first saw its bud and then for it to slowly grow and blossom into a pretty flower.<br />
<br />
This is Cosmos considered to be the flower of October, derived from Greek and means orderly, beautiful, and balanced. The other meaning is peaceful. Honestly, when I choose the seeds I didn't really bothered with its meaning but more of because of its beauty and the degree of easiness to plant.<br />
<br />
Mum actually wanted me to be "careful" of what I plant because of their relative relevance and meaning. But I dismissed it for a flower's significance shouldn't be judged because of some background or its uses on some religious practice.<br />
<br />
It is just an innocent fellow, waiting for love and care and to finally blossom and showcase to the world its beauty and radiance.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-24878417123535350962014-01-16T23:13:00.000+08:002014-01-16T23:13:02.488+08:00Happy Since ChristmasI don't have New Year resolution and don't really have the habit of writing one.<br />
<br />
But I can give an update of what I have done for the past two months.<br />
<br />
Have been growing seeds on off for the past one year and so far all the seeds that I have sowed died off after 1 month even though it did sprout and grew to about 5 cm.<br />
<br />
After gathering some advice, I have decided to change the location of the pot and to increase the success rate, I planted more seeds than before. Instead of one, I would use 2/3.<br />
<br />
The first few weeks when the first shoot appeared, I crossed my fingers hoping 'this time it would work'. And so after like one month, it seems like not only did it work but I had over succeed. I mean the saplings are now a bit more sturdy and independent, but.. somehow the number of plants seems to doubled!<br />
<br />
I remember clearly where I have planted the seeds and even though I did put in more of them, it wasn't this many!! So I guess it most those seeds that I have planted before which I thought they had failed (because they didn't sprout after a few weeks) and had now grow because of my supposed increased concern. Didn't know seeds can hibernate that long. Let's just hope this batch would work. I am already making plans to move some of the older ones out of the nursery and into its own pot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1521966_10151953818538789_1181940888_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1521966_10151953818538789_1181940888_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, somehow I became more popular in the tutoring industry. I had received more calls and queries about the fee and timing. I know some are referred by my existing tutee's parents while others are from no where or referred by parents who I don't even know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you can say, I have lots of assignments on my hands now and I even have to reject some of the assignments because I just couldn't commit no matter how much I want to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But no matter how I try, the income earned just don't seem to exceed a certain threshold. Hmm.. which I really want to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess I had made quite a reputation of myself however, I wouldn't know if this reputation is good or bad and will it benefit as it does now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are quite a lot of changes I had made during these two months, and those above two were just few of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had also managed to successfully pass my TOPIK Level 2!! Hooray?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honestly, the score wasn't that fantastic so I didn't show but I'm glad I sat for it. It means that I am a bit more closer to what I want to achieve- fluency in Korean. So far I'm only in beginner level, which is a bit upsetting since I had learnt for almost three years now on off. Therefore, my friend suggested going for Topik 3/4 this coming April. And they are changing the format really soon and we are still in the midst of learning. So strike the iron while its hot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess its pretty much like this for now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I have several plans in line now and hopefully I get to realise them. And if I'm done, I will blog. :)</div>

My time in Sunday when I'm not giving tuition, is usually at my grandma's place. And when I'm there, I made it a point to bring my two little cousins down for a stroll. One reason is that I'm fulfilling my duty as the elder "sibling" by bringing them to play. The other is, well, make the two happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And these two love the little get away, even though it is a less then 3 meters. The elder cousin would ride his bike while the younger one will try to balance herself on the scooter. But even so she often failed and resort to walking. *Chuckles*</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first stop is always the temple. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As faithful devotees, a trip to the temple should never be missed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually, they just want to see the animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a snake inside the temple and people pray to it. I forgot which deity it represents but anyway, this snake is really long and most of the time it is just lazing in its cage rather than hissing at the people. Not to forget the tortoise and some carps. </div>

<br />
Stop 2: The Birds Walkway.<br />
<br />
One of the household kept at least 1 dozen of birds and these two trails were full of their birds. Every cage is a different species. I took the effort to introduce them some of the species including their special traits<br />

<br />
<div>
The last stop is ... the playground. Well, what you expect. They are children and children love playground. Even though it's not really that much fun. But in the past, I too used to find it the most fun place ever. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will let them play for ten minutes or so before we head back and I will have to go home soon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, it is quite an enjoyable walk and we will always chat about their daily activities. I will occasionally find out some amusing stuffs happening to them and all. However, the most important thing is the time we had together. </div>

<br />
I love animation films but not exactly full supportive of them. This one is worth the go. Though I think the number of songs in the film can be reduced. It's like they have this full list of composed songs and somehow wanted to squeeze all of them into the movie to prevent them from being wasted. The film then becomes well..... I think overly decorated. Sometimes I felt like I was watching Les Miserables Movie. All songs no speech. Which is kind of irritating.<br />
<br />
I know songs have always been a really important part of animated movies especially to Disney since many of them helps to convey important messages even though its good storyboard has already did a good job at it.<br />
<br />
But overall it's still not a bad story. It still contains several Disney elements like how they embrace and showcase different cultures and ethnicity. This one in particular, I think is Norwegian.<br />
<br />
My advice for those who haven't watch it to go and have a look. It cause about $7 for a movie ticket, that's not really expensive isn't it.<br />

<br />
Last year in College.<br />
<br />
Had several job experiences.<br />
<br />
Found myself adjusting to the current environment.<br />
<br />
And is just starting to learn the way adults think and act.<br />
<br />
But one thing I didn't manage to get it sink into my head, is that I'm of a legal age of marriage.<br />
<br />
Not a big deal right? I mean accustoming to the environment needs time and time is what I have right now. I mean I'm 21, there's still a long way to the 'ideal' age (my ideal age) of marriage-. No hurry. We can take it slowly, and that's what I have been comforting myself with when some of my friends pops out of nowhere with a "HEY! I'M GETTING MARRIED" or a change in facebook status and bombard your news feed with tons of photos of their newborn child.<br />
<br />
What's worst is that there are not just one, two but A BUNCH of my friends or who I know.<br />
<br />
Like Seriously? And most of them are around my age! Or exactly the same! I cannot accept this... especially when I'm just settled on the thought of being an adult and now you tell me I can be a mum. I KNOW in ancient time I would now easily been a mother of 3-4 children. BUT I'm not in ancient times.<br />
<br />
This is just sooo scary. The responsibility that you will have to shoulder, the change of martial status and suddenly you have to be so grown up, because you don't live for yourself anymore. You have a child to support and you who have or have not completed the whole education system now has to prepare your child for it.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I have my skepticism on early marriage, especially when you are young, don't have a sound job and is still living under your parents<br />
<br />
If you still live under the care of your parents, I don't know about if you can provide for your child.<br />
<br />
I don't mean to be a damper but well, we are young. We haven't been through what they call the 'rough times". We don't exactly know how to handle stuffs. We haven't seen the world. And people change with time. The way we see things now will vary from when we see things in the future. So will our personality.<br />
<br />
And wait, things will get tougher.. bills will pile up because when you grow , your needs increase.<br />
<br />
You know what I'm getting to it and I really don't want to say any further.<br />
<br />
So seriously, don't expect me to give comfort or give nice comments about this. Because I just can't.<br />
<br />
With all being said.. I'm back to getting accustomed to my age.. Hmm..Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-53691058038269577192013-09-24T22:23:00.001+08:002013-09-24T22:23:14.100+08:00How nice.. if it was me.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And the reality didn't really sink in until I gotten the presents... on Teachers' Day!<br />
<br />
How awesome is that?<br />
<br />
Yeah... although I wasn't really an official full time teacher, I get to receive the benefits of one.. well part of it. And for the record, I still commit the responsibilities of a full time teacher.<br />
<br />
So here it is the presents from the students... actually its the Mom.<br />

The trees below my block has blossomed with pink flowers blooming at the top. It's quite a lovely sight although how I wished the whole trees were pink instead of just the top upper top. There's a road near my home and alongside of this road were a stretch of trees with pink and white flowers at each side.<br />
<br />
As I walked along this stretch of lovely scene, I can't help back match its view to the Sakuras in Japan. I know that they worlds apart, but if you look closely, I don't think these trees ( I don't know what they are called) pale in comparisons.<br />
<br />
Then I start to think, actually we have nice looking small view here even thought it's not as large scale or majestic as those overseas. But if you look closely, you will learn to appreciate things around you and making it no reason for you to go red eye over those abroad.<br />
<br />
Perhaps, one day while you are walking along some nice streets, you may like to pause and take things in. Only then, you will truly realise how beautiful things are no matter how big or small, grand or not. For each thing they have their good points to be appreciate at. And one you know how to pick out the good things, you will be able to appreciate the worlds' gift.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-88740973993991541372013-07-21T21:08:00.001+08:002013-07-21T21:08:24.710+08:00Zoo & 21st Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sandra wanted to go to the Zoo since they have this crazy promotion going on since it's the Zoo's 40th Anniversary. It has been quite sometime since I last visited the Zoo so I thought <i>'Why not?'. </i>I thought it would be quite boring since I am not into looking at all these animals unless they are of an unusual species and we would pretty much complete our tour by noon. But who would have thought we actually spent a day since we watched all of the animals show and visited 90% of the animals.<br />
<br />
The shows were kinda okay, not much of a circus type of amazement but yeahh.. I can roughly understand. These animals weren't made to threw the audience back and it wasn't the purpose (at least not officially) of the Zoo to be tourist centric marketing through stunts performing animals. Instead, they were known as a conservation to educate. Therefore, the shows were more designed to showcase the intelligence of these lovely friends and educate the public about saving rain forest instead of training them to be the next attention grabber. Not that I'm pinpointing any other Zoological Conservation. :D<br />
<br />
So for people like me, it wasn't much of an excitement to watch these shows. Rather I'm just bored. But oh well...<br />
<br />
My 21st Birthday was on the other hand.. kind of alright.<br />
<br />
I had my stayed the day with my parents and also half at work. Then the next day, I spent it with my friends. To be honest, I think the day that I hang around with my friends was a bit more enjoyable as compared with my family. Oppss. On the whole I will say that the way I celebrate is quite satisfactory. But.. if given a choice..I do want an elaborate one. I despise Chalet, and by elaborate I mean really.. elaborate.. grand. Maybe spend the day overseas. Aiya.. forget it. I don't have the budget to do it. So this is fine.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-90638884532420986432013-06-19T20:06:00.000+08:002013-06-19T20:06:01.258+08:00Sophie KinsellaYou know I'm really a big fan of Sophie Kinsella.<br />
<br />
Ever since I was twelve I had been a big fan of hers. I remember when I first read her book. It was "The Dreamworld of a Shopaholic". It was during a book convention and I was looking for a book or two. That day, my whole family was at Suntec Book convention (<i>after I screamed and cried and yelled</i>) and we were all scattered throughout the hall glancing at the books they had to offer. My Dad allowed me to purchase two books, since I am a big book fan. However, throughout my search I realised some of these books are too adult for me. Half the time they were either old books or they were of uninteresting genres.<br />
<br />
I didn't had any strong urge to purchase any book but you know... such a offer is hard to come by plus the books were sooo cheap!! $6 per book!! Usually they were three times more!! So I tried my best to dig for something that I would like and I eventually found two.. which eventually were both made into movies later. One was the Shopaholic book .. the other was Ella Enchanted. (<i>I had good eyes..!! I hope that apply to man as well but AHEM! nevermind...)</i><br />
<br />
Anyway, I was hooked and then forth started to purchase its subsequent series.. in fact I had the WHOLE Series.. and even bought her standalone. They were SUCH a good read. I had fun reading them, and each book I would had re-read them at least thrice!<br />
<br />
Being her fan, you don't know how elated I was when she published the Shopaholic and Sister and subsequently the baby and Mini Shopaholic.<br />
<br />
It was all good until recently I stopped reading her books. Ever since I had some sneak peeks of her then recently published book "I've Got Your Number", my interest plummeted.<br />
<br />
I gave that book a total skip, and then it was the "Wedding Night". I had just read it. And it wasn't like her Sophie Kinsella style. This one was a bit more adult. It was more of a Madeleine Wickham type of book. I didn't read Madeleine's series but I do sneak a few peek and the story was more of a married person's life or people who have already reached a certain mature age.<br />
<br />
Sure , she still keeps her comical writing, her funny side. But I guess the personality of the characters were a bit too.. over, dramatic. This is a story yes, but it's too unbelievable.<br />
<br />
Plus I like to see a little courtship going on. Like in her previous books. It's a lighter read and and more simple (I mean in relationship, contained- "Remember Me?" was good).<br />
<br />
I don't know.. maybe because I'm of a younger age and those adult-like lifestyle is difficult for me to comprehend.<br />
<br />
So.. I'm now giving the her books the cold shoulder now. But I really hope the next one would be one I would like.<br />
<br />
P.S The haze now is <i>killing </i>me ! Stupid Sumatra and your inefficient government. Act responsibly please!Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-92134954379031840352013-06-16T23:09:00.000+08:002013-06-16T23:09:11.108+08:00Snail Facial MaskIf you guys are any facial mask user.. (<i>of course you are</i>!), you would have heard of snail related facial products.<br />
<br />
I know it isn't a new thing, but the idea of using snail mucus to moisturize your skin is <i><span style="font-size: large;">soooooooo </span></i>unappealing. Sure that its mucus is a super hydrating solution. But it doesn't change the fact that it is gross!<br />
<br />
Can you image?<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ON YOUR FACE? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course you can! People do it, right...?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well.. anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
My first exposure to this exotic thing is when I was randomly shopping at the Qoo10.sg last year and this huge advert was right smacked in the front page decorated so prettily and tempting.<br />
<br />
Boy, was I gobsmacked !<br />
<br />
The immediate responses that came flashing across my mind was..<br />
<br />
<i>"what the hell? Is this the new thing?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Have they gone out of things to work on?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"My god seriously?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Then of course I went to google for more information and to see how incredible this was ..and the words I got were...<i> "replenishes moisture" "regenerative" , "good for you skin"; "anti-ageing"; "antioxidants"; "acne treatment".</i><br />
<br />
And... that did sound pretty amazing. It's like it has all these beauty functions all wrapped up in one tiny drop of mucus.<br />
<br />
So apparently, this thing had been used by the Greek ages ago and now they readopting this technology. So cosmetic industries now are latching to this idea to either vie for more market share or lose it.<br />
<br />
It really doesn't concern me because I know for sure that I wasn't going to use it.. anytime soon.. or in the future.<br />
<br />
Until my Aunt got me one as a souvenir from her Korea Trip.<br />
<br />

"JUST DON'T USE IT LAH! WHAT'S THE BIG FUSS ABOUT?"<br />
<br />
Yeah Right.<br />
<br />
My policy is not to waste any stuffs that are functional and are of good use especially those that are brand new. And this facial mask that she fulfills all the criteria.<br />
<br />
So, I can't just throw it away. Unless I got someone who I can give it to and will put it into efficient use.<br />
<br />
Haix......!!!!<br />
<br />
I am going to pray that this person will turn out soon.. but meanwhile I will just leave it in the fridge.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-39212142234372024812013-06-13T20:54:00.001+08:002013-06-13T20:54:43.858+08:00Holidays Hhheeerreee..Well, borrowed loads of Chinese books.. mostly are Confucianism,<i> in comic .</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
But of course, I did borrowed some other non-pictorial Confucianism books.<br />
<br />
<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br />
So after reading most of them.. there's only one conclusion I can derived.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
CHIM.<br />
<br />
(Lols, just kidding learnt a lot but also got a bit confused sometime)Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-21599523198009625402013-05-30T21:49:00.004+08:002013-05-30T21:49:58.248+08:00Library@ChinatownFINALLYYYYYY.......... I have stepped onto the holy ground of the National library at Chinatown on Monday.<br />
<br />
Ever since knowing of its existence and read several of the comments regarding the library, I have been soooo eager to pay a visit. Especially since I am a Chinese Book lover, and having a library with completed with only Chinese books is a new thing here. Furthermore, it was introduced to be a library furnished with Oriental style as its concept. Naturally, such a thing would piqued my interest.<br />
<br />
Well for a start, how often do you get to hear about a library that its interior design is completely non-futuristic/ modern focused?<br />
<br />
So for some time, I have been meaning to find time to find my way there. And finally after my exams were over, I get to pay the library a visit!<br />
<br />
But when I first stepped onto the 'holy ground', I was very disappointed.<br />
<br />
It was... small.. only consisting of one floor. And well..yeah.. it did adapt some Chinese style in its design but on the whole it still contained most of the modern concept.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the collection of books was just... not up to my expectation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was.. info-centric. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And.. I was really excited and looking forward to getting all my 小说. But when I got there.. there were NONE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I MEAN REALLY NIL!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But thank god there were books that I wanted to borrow. The other day when I was in Kinokuniya, I saw some of the books I really wanted to purchase but couldn't afford to. So when I saw them at the library, I was elated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I still managed to borrow some books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But the disappointment still disturb me.. ooohh.. how my heart shatters..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess the reason why they had a small one know is because of the rather small percentage of chinese readers. I mean when I got there, there were just a few teenagers or people my age reading and browsing books. The rest were just making use of the facility to do their revision. Therefore, I should be glad that the idea of a Chinese Library has been realized? Well, it's a good start. Perhaps, in near future this library would expand? </div>

<br />
And I just feel sad for the child and felt a lot of injustice for her, but who am I to judge anyway.<br />
<br />
So apparently almost a decade ago, two underage parents had a child. That's not too much of a big deal until the Father doesn't want to marry the mother. Reason being, Father doesn't want to convert into Muslim. I guess the Mother doesn't want to leave her religion either.<br />
<br />
I just don't understand, if you have no plans of going that far (marriage) with the girl, why do you even start the relationship? If it's just to kill time, I suggest you do the necessary precaution so you won't end up in a bad state. I mean if you love the girl, don't you want to work towards marriage as the goal? I guess maybe I'm too naive.<br />
<br />
So.. Mother gave birth to the child and stayed with the Guy's family- still not married.<br />
<br />
After some time, she decided to leave along with the child. I guess this will be better for both side.<br />
<br />
But the guy's family did not let the matter rest, they went to court and try to vie for the child's custody. And so, the child spent half of the week each with its parent.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when the child talk to me somehow I find it hard to communicate, because she will manage to divert the conversation to talk about her parents. And I will have to find ways not to hurt her feelings.Usually I really hate those who give themselves self pity, as I don't feel such thing quite a big deal. But hey she's a child. And a person's childhood had an adverse effect on their growing process.<br />
<br />
Haix, so girls. Please don't just causally open your legs to anyone. Because ultimately not only you are hurting yourself, but your future child or partner as well.Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09918027292823500391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647814088762598862.post-66795511777505006962013-04-29T21:37:00.001+08:002013-04-29T21:37:59.410+08:00End of Exam!It's finally the end of my exams! All of my projects! All of my academics!! ... for now.<br />
<br />
But still, I have plenty of stuffs to do..<br />
<br />

<br />
*Glanced at the targeted money*<br />
<br />
*Looked back at the total money I have now*<br />
<br />
.... I still have a long way to go.<br />
<br />
If it wasn't because of Chinese New Year whereby I packed red packets for my elders, I would have been so much close to the goal. But aiya..., must display filial piety.<br />
<br />
Well, 2 months to get this amount of money is not bad... at least I saved half of the money I earned. However, the money in my bank doesn't seem to go up. Ever since I deposited my pay back in December from the part time jobs I had, it goes down ever since then. Almost back to when I have not deposit my pay in. I guess law of gravity applies here huh~<br />
<br />
With the current pace I am going, I don't know if I am able to reach my target by the end of this year. Maybe.. I even have to roll it over to the next upper half of the year.<br />
<br />
Makes me want to get more students.<br />
<br />
Haix..<br />
<br />
Plus exams are coming too.<br />
<br />
I know, I know, time to get back to study.<br />
<br />

<br />
After months of careful examination and tons of emails + replies. We or should I say I, settled on Singapore Korean School. Friend was a bit reluctant to join because of the pricing but I told her I decided on this school and won't settle for any less. She - with no other choice- (I'm sorry), she decided to enroll too, of course not without the whines of the pricing and pulling a really disheartened face.<br />
<br />
I'm only there for three lessons, so I really can't make good substantiated reviews but I will just say what I feel about the lessons so far.<br />
<br />
This is just a very simple contrast between the two schools that I have attended so far.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Word of caution: These are all my perspective. I have not sit for Topik yet so some of these comments may seem unsubstantiated to you guys. Take it with a pinch of salt.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Syllabus</span></u></b><br />
<u><b>SKS</b></u><br />
I know many are concerned with the syllabus taught. Whether they are enough for you to go for the TOPIK Basic Test 1. I have looked through the test paper. And from the point of view of a SKS student, there is a possibility of passing the paper. The grammar tested in that level are all taught, perhaps one or two may seem unfamiliar but passing is obtainable. For the writing component, this would be a bit hard. Because in SKS , the focus is more on conversational skills and reading skills. There is few practicing students have of writing. Therefore, this section may seems a bit more challenging. Plus, vocabulary exposed in SKS are restrained in a fixed context. Thus, may find it rigid and hard to find words taught to express yourself.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Hanok</u></b><br />
If you have completed Basic 4, there is higher chance of you passing Topik 1 as compared to SKS. Why? Because unlike SKS, the teacher made speak in Korean during lessons and have dictation every end of lessons. She will scribble English sentences and have you translate them. Of course, these words are all taught and in the textbook. Therefore, being made to write, students were already comfortable in writing Korean words and are better able to express themselves. Plus with the richer range of vocabularies, Hanok students wouldn't find writing component much of a pain.<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u>
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pace</b></span></u><br />
<u><b>SKS</b></u><br />
SKS proceed at a faster pace. Each lesson, there is a fix topic that the teacher has to finish. However, because the content isn't really a lot, it is suitable for even slow pace learner. As long as you make your revision every week. I don't seem to think it will be overbearing.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Hanok</u></b><br />
Hanok's pacing would be a bit slower. One topic maybe separated into two lessons in order to be finished. This is due to the wider vocabulary words and to revise previous grammar points taught. So for example, on lesson 8, she will teach present tense + past tense+ some vocab, then on lesson 9, she will go through these again + more vocab and maybe future tense.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Teaching</u></b></span><br />
Now, here is the most important part I want to emphasis. Teaching. Most Korean schools here have lessons are conducted by native korean. The reason why I want to address this issue is because I think this is a important factor to consider when choosing a school. Many of us have a common but understandable perception about the correlation between quality of teaching and nationality of the teacher. Of course, I would agree that a native would be a not more suitable person to teach its own language to foreigners. Being grown up in that community for over 20+ years, naturally the native teacher would be more familiar with their own culture and its tradition.<br />
<br />
But I would like to say that LOCAL/NON-NATIVE teachers are equally good as well. The important key factor to pay attention to is NOT the Nationality but the way the teacher teach and communicate. Many native teachers here are not well-verse in English, and this becomes a huge problem because instructions are not properly communicate. It will become a common thing to constantly guess and lean in to figure out what the teacher is trying to convey. Subsequently, it becomes tiring and you start to lose interest. Therefore, don't discriminate local teachers. If they have good language background plus good teaching skills, try them out. I'm sure they won't lose out to the natives. Of course, if your teacher is a native and has good command of English, then that will be a bonus!<br />
<br />
I will not compare the teachers in both schools yet because Hanok only has one teacher while SKS has plenty of them. Therefore I won't be playing fair.<br />
