Exams/ Assessment

I am pretty much busy these few weeks. I have assessments and exams. Thank god, two of the them were completed. But now I have one heavy weighted assignment to be completed plus mugging for my two important exams.

That's just my school work. I have also outside exams to be completed. And I am just hanging there.

Hope it will all turn out fine. But on the brighter side, I am going for SS4 this sunday Whippe~

 Sometime, I wish I am less of a money slave. How I wish I can just plant a money-growing tree and  rid of of the troubles having to search for jobs or just the pain of deciding whether to accept a job offer whether if it is worth forgoing my leisure time or not. 

So many factors to consider. 

Yet, I can save all the pain by just leaving a desire-free life and continue to leech on my parents' money until I am out to the society. I will then not be able to splurge on delicious looking dresses, take up unnecessary education - such as learning a third language. Neither will I be able to buy ridiculously pricey concert tickets by some K-pop idols. I will have to stop Dreaming  about traveling to exotic places. Or even when I am buying a friend's birthday gift , I have to revert back to the miser I once was. All I have to do is to adopt a carefree and less material minded. 

But I can't! And there's no way I can be! (actually there is)

I want to feel the soft fabric brushing against my skin and the confidence swelling up in me when I think I look good.

I want to yell on top of my lungs for my favorite idol and cheer for him when he performs.
 
I want to be able to give expensive gifts- gifts that brightens up my friend's face when they open up my gift. (not that my friend's are that of a material mind but sometimes you need cash to let's say dine in a mediocre restaurant just to celebrate birthday. )

Most of all- 
 
I want to travel to places and see the great diversity of life , culture and the wonders of Earth. 
Must choose SIA. Local brand!
 And ALL THESE NEED MONEY!
 
So I need to work just to spend more quality leisure time. What irony, be that what's life is. So what now? 
 
I will continue to contemplate whether should I accept that job or just slack at home. 
 
ZZzzzzz

Chinese New Year

 As you guys know, last Monday was Chinese New Year. So during the Chinese New Year Eve, we will have reunion dinner and like the previous years, my uncle's family will be joining us for dinner. We had steamboat and as you can see. We have a lot of ingredients.


Look yummy right?! These photos were actually taken midway to dinner. So you can imagine we have lots more food than the ones shown here.




And of course we need to buy snacks and some other necessities!

This year's Chinese New Year was quite boring of me. I blame the age.
You just don't feel the excitement anymore.
Everything became very routine.
Thank God I didn't receive a lot of CNY questions which was a good thing. Because I wouldn't know how to reply them.

Nonetheless, I still have a reasonably good time. I did a lot of spring cleaning!
I hope next year I'll have a more of a good time.

Last Day of 2011

Arghh!! Last day of 2011!

I can't believe it! I am at the last day where I am recognised as 19 by the public!
 I am going to be 20!
Oh my gosh! I am old!

Before the year ends. I would like to do a summarised outline of what I have accomplished.

1) I had successfully completed my 2 basic courses in Bunka and had managed to scrapped passed the level test .
2) I have also successfully completed 2 levels of Basic Korean.Currently in level 3.
3) To increase my savings and met a certain target. 


Well that's pretty much what I have achieved. Lols~ That's quite little but you should know that to complete all these language courses require time and effort. So for now, I am kinda glad.

Resolution? Well, I don't know. Most of the time I don't achieve them, or gave up half way due to a lack of motivation. HAHA. So what's the point of me writing them down?

Instead , I will write out my plans and things I will be able to achieve if all goes smoothly.

1) I will be able to pass my grade 7 theory.
2) Meet my next saving target.
3) Be able to proceed to intermediate level and perhaps even complete it.
4) Take Topik level 2.


And here are the things I really hope I can achieve but most likely won't be able to.
1) Self Study Japanese and eventually be able to take JLPT N5.
2) Go Korea next year with school.


I really hope I can achieve all these but leaving all these aside. I am pretty excited to start my first day as a 20 years old girl, and as an adult. It's time to see the world and think in a new perspective even though I don't know what would be brought to me in this new year.

Hopefully this new year would be a great year for all of us where dreams blossomed and goals achieved.

Happy New Year!

Still Travel Crazy

Not being able to go overseas this year , I am a bit uncomfortable. I don't feel myself. Or maybe I am just exaggerating or whatever.

So I was a bit bored and started to look back, rereading those blog posts I had blogged before. I dare say that I am really a lazy girl. Firstly , I didn't check my English, mistakes were all over the place. Secondly, I realised that I have quite a nasty mouth. But I guess this is all part of being a teenager.

As Christmas draws near, I realised that the year is almost ending and it is time to welcome my 2nd decade of living in this world. I am having mixed feelings right now as I kinda have difficulty in acknowledging I am old. Well, anything that starts with a 2 and above is old , at least to me .

So looking back I realised I have grown, I am more mature.. well a bit. And I know more about the adult world, not those rated stuffs but how people interacts, how to present yourself and the ways how society works.

It's all still new to me, I am still learning the ropes but I start to look at the world from a new perspective. So this how growing up means huh.

I am enjoying things that I don't in the past and I kinda like that. It's like re-living , gaining a whole new experience , like a baby learning his new world.

And I think perhaps in my thirties or forties I will feel the same way, looking things at a new angle. Don't you think?

Places

It's the holiday season and I have no place to go. Like one of my friend said, I shouldn't be whining. I mean I have been overseas multiple times and she has not been out of the country, not even Malaysia. So I should be grateful that I am blessed to be able to fly for the past few years. Been said , I guess I am spoilt and should repent but I just feel weird.

The reason why I always look forward to the holidays during the childhood is because I always get to go overseas. Being overseas is not the main point, the point is being able to fly with your whole family, that includes my aunts , uncles and cousins.

Since I am not able to go overseas, I might as well take a walk at the airport and I did. Oh the sight of Singaporeans checking in at the counter just make you green with envious and when you look at the destination they are going, damn~

Oh well, have to work hard so that after I graduate I can get a job and go around the world! Meanwhile I just day dream and make a list of countries I want to go.

Countries I went to:
2004: Australia
2005: Thailand - with school and a week after with family
2006: China
2007: Korea + Hong Kong
2008: Hong Kong , Malaysia
2009: Indonesia (Batam) ,Vietnam
2010: Malaysia
2011: HOME!!!!

In no order:

1) Turkey

2) Japan
3) France
4) Italy
5) United Arab Emirates

6) USA
7) Taiwan
8) Russia
9) Germany
10) Austra
11) Czech Republi
12) United Kingdom
13) Norway
14) Switerland
15) New Zealand
16) Sweden
17) Finland
18) Egypt
19) Holland
20) Canada
21) Myammar
22) Cambodia

That's the list for now. Some of the countries are not listed because I have been there before.

I will just make a wishlist for now, it's not confirmed or maybe it wouldn't be even realised but hopeful, I can do this.

2012 - Korea with Sch ( Jun- Aug)
           Cambodia/ Malaysia ( Year-end)
           Or even stay at home

2013- Fly over to Canada to visit cousin( Jun/ Year end)
          Korea if I didn't in 2012
         
2014- China Internship
           Korea if I havent
           Canada If I havent

MAMA Awards

I WENT FOR MAMA !!!

For those you don't know what MAMA stands for, it is Mnet Asian Music Award. Like the name, it is a music award ceremony and this time it was held in SINGAPORE!! A lot of Kpop idols came down including some of the famous actors and actresses. 


 I bought the 2nd cheapest tickets so I was at the upper deck. During the time when I was buying the ticket, the list of confirmed artist coming for MAMA has yet to be confirmed so as a non-risk taker, I chose to buy the cheaper ticket. But at least it wasn't the cheapest ticket okay. So I am not that stingy. 

The list was actually confirmed a few days before the concert so I had been on a long period of anxiety praying for my SUJU to come.

Anyway the artist who came were:

Beast
SUPER JUNIOR 
Girls' Generation
Miss A
A Pink
Kim Hyun Joong 
Baek Ji Young
2NE1
Kang Sora
Some actress from Iris? 

Anyway, I was just really excited that three of my favorite group came, SUJU Miss A and 2NE1. By the way, the artists were actually sitting at my side of the stadium so.. they were like below us. A bit unfortunate as I only see the back view of them when they were sitting down.


 Koda Kumi and some other overseas idol came too.

OH BLACK EYED PEAS WAS THERE!! AND OTHER AMERICAN IDOL BUT I FORGOT THE NAME.
It was a funny sight because all the Kpop idols turned to fans and were cheering with us. The stadium went high when they first appeared!! Soo coool! I mean even high when the Kpop artists were performing!

The whole concert was great as it was really worth the price although I could have gotten a better ticket but oh well.  Awesome!

Much more exciting was that Suju actually won the most awards during MAMA!! WHEEEE!!!
 Hee hee I'm just glad people recognised their hard work.



Oh well, till then  ~
