AHahaha as ManY OF you should have known by now, today's highlight topic is about NUTS! So what did most of YOU got? The lucky ones got the yummy yummy hazlenuts, some gt groudnuts (hmm not too bad) and there's those with the peanuts!! ya! just like yours truly here ! Peanuts! now peanuts itself has 2 categories k . First you have the salted peanuts and then there's the sweet peanuts! Now.. hmm which one will mine fall into?? Let's see, its its... actually im still not sure, since i have not tasted it yet. It's lying there waiting for me. But all i know, I definitely got peanuts. Wonder if they can do a trade. Maybe when i'm there i can do an exchange for hazlenuts?!!! *grinz*

Frankly, im not one to take peanuts, not my favourite. Personally i lurvve nuts coated with chocolate. Wonder whats the chocolate here. ... haha BUt nontheless people, DO NOT monkey around even all you got is peanuts! Why? Hmm.. weeeelll its just for a while right? and if you monkey too much, next time you may screw up your chance of getting hazlenuts or groundnuts right? And in any case if YOU monkey around too much, you may end up in the zoo.. which is what we all wana avoid right. *laughs*

So in the meantime, while you are getting peanuts, try showing them you are worth hazlenuts with chocolate and try not to try clear the snakes around (eat snake, understand?!!) ya. Oh btw, try determining if yours sweet or salted peanuts.


Princess.... flower (just for today) nuts.

不在乎天长地久，只在乎曾经拥有。。。,why do people say that. coz they cant have 天长地久。As you get older you realise how many things are not within your control and how fragile everything is. I remember when i was younger how i always felt that its so stupid to only 在乎曾经拥有. Why would you want to go into something and find out that at some point you have to let it go. And when the time comes, you ll feel something terrible. Makes sense? ya. plenty then. Now as time goes by you start to understand it bit by bit.

Like how when my hamster died. I was heartbroken. I thought i ll never recover from it. BUt I did. But it still hurts. The night before it died. It went a little crazy. It came forward and wanted to bite me. But it din. It came near and backed off in a little corner. I knew it was going to die. Call me silly but to me, that's its way of telling me goodbye. So sad just writing about it. I knew that havin your pet die on you hurts. So i told my self many times not to have one. In the end, i still gt my hamster. It was not 天长地久, but those were the times when i had it around. Those times were irreplaceable. So why am i writing about it today.

Because once again these days, i realised what it means to 不在乎天长地久，只在乎曾经拥有。。。It's a very sobering feeling. This feeling that what you have wil not last forever. There will come a day when all will be different. When we ll all go our own ways, when we ll all be caught up with our own stuff, when we ll all be busy, when we ll all be different. So live in the moment my dear friends, treasure today because tomorrow will never be like today.

NOw, if you have been reading the links of the blogs that I read, you will have found out that a particular one whose blog is named: NYAK. has been visiting friendster! and guess what so have i!On a very stress free saturday, yours truly managed to find the energy and enthusiasm to go click through all 180 ppl on my list and scan through the photos. Call it being curious. or kaypo. BUt seeing and wondering how your ugly duckling secondary friend manages to morph into a swan and snag this super ultra looking other half is reali mind-boggling. And then there's always the question of whether

a) he/she morphed into a swan and snagged that great looking other half
b) He/she snagged that ultra looking other half and BECAUSE he/she is so ultra great looking, your friend feels the need to turn into a swan

There you go. The 2 big questions. But of course, yea. i was very very happy for them.

And then there's TRUE love.

True love? Yea true love where looks dun matter. and ya they just happened to be BOTH great looking. Now, here's somthing interesting i read somewhere.

What is JOY.


Definition from the webster online dictionary. True?

Well-being, success, good fortune and getting what you desire. Ultimate happiness?

Are you happy?

I'll b back.

Well well, im back...! After a loooong can i say 2 day break from the text books and all!Very glad to be with all of you last night (Dan's birthday event @ marche) and of course there's all that photo taking opportunities as well! Apart from all the joy derived from "sabotaging" dan aaaand the cake smearing and G-string incidents... there's of course not forgetting the fact that everyone was in a very slack mood!HA there was also the arrow pointing session with you guys at spinelli. We talked about someone and someone's "yellow" belongings and of course there's the fruit issue all over again... between a particular lychee and orange?? Weeeeell and of course, there WERE attempts at arrowing yours truly! BUT the innocent will remain innocent as all smart ppl know! ha. Enought of that, came back real late last night. And you wont believe how late. And to add, you wont believe the reason! Even i was amazed! Now... that makes it a very very exciting night. S.E.R.I.O.U.S. Together with my lovely friends, we embarked onto a journey of the NOrth line... and chatted away into the night. (And yes, u'r not seeing things..im talking about the N.O.R.T.H line.. the one that goes to bishan, woodlands and the sorts) and on top of that.. there was a very very if i may say, enriching, mind-opening and heart-sharing chat with a particular someone.. and nope, im not dropping namess. It's ethically bound. *grinz* hA

Oh and before i forget, over the span of last night AND tonight, i gt a record number of request for my blog address. Makes me feel like its a tabloid thing.. ha BUT good good, pls continue to show support ya.. wahaha.. U might just find some juicy tibits here.. *ya u wish* Maybe if it reaches reoord number then i can go get advertising space! wahhaa.. ok upgrading works for blog still in progress ya.. What can you guys expect? Expect a whole load more of interesting happenings and i mean reali I.N.T.E.R.E.S.T.I.N.G *GRINZ*

I gt a call from my much sought-after PA firm and apparently my supervisor will be going overseas for a week.

The one and onli
Princess Flowerbloom

It 's so tiring to fight everyday. Some battles are just not worth fighting for just like how some things are not worth fighting for. You can have those. I dun wan : (

D.e.a.d. feel like smashing the darn thing now... my stuff just gt deleted... for no rhyme or reason... apparently i typed tooo fast!!! and pressed the wrong key and like half my story for yesterday and today gt deleted.. deleted flat. Maybe you all not fated to read it. And yes i know there's a recover post link at the top. But nope. no use, if not u all won't be reading this too.


Aniway as i was saying before i pressed duno what.... (sigh its actuallly quite hard to retype you know.. the agony of it allllll) but aniway... as i was saying...yesterday, i was grilled. not onli grilled. BUT flame grilled. and no... its not an advert for burger king. apparently, a few people read my wonderful last entry and these few wonderful people suddenly gt some thoughts about it, mostly inferred. notice i said INFERRED. and then coincidentally yesterday i had to meet them and stay in the same tutorial room with them for a period of like 4 to 5 hours and then i was grilled. reali grilled. and apparently to my amazement, someone was actuually brain-raped by my entry. (Just fancy that!) i duno how you can get brain raped. but well to be brain raped by my entry .... very I.N.T.E.R.E.S.T.I.N.G. aniway this is the gist of what happened yesterday and as they say, its never too good to dwell in the past be it a good past or a bad one and so lets talk about today.


Today i did it again... nono not the britney spears song.. but I did it again... Did what you asked. Just that! Apparently i managed to stone for a few minutes .. hmm like close to 60 minutes, (thats' a lot!) during the paper and then there's the sweet poppin habit from duno where and then there's golf and exams and then there' somemore. Golf and exam? whats the link you ask? Ahhh... that you 'll know later. and no. dun get me wrong. i m not tryin to entice you to read further. if it pleases you, you can stop right here, right now. ... but no? *grinz* you r carryin on? Alrigthy. ha

Let's start from the somemore. Just look at us, this laptop totting bunch of people. or maybe just M.E. i type my tutorials, i type my emails (of course right), i type the reports, use laptop to do projects.. i mean come on in this age, how many people actually write our their assignments?!! No right? and so why do we have to W.R.I.T.E. during our exams.... why cant we type??? Ahh... are you getting the direction of where this is going? yes why cant we type? Then you ask, why cant we write? Yes we can of course, but do you want to? Ok let's look at this like a mature adult instead of a whimpering, grouchy student. Writing, this is the norm in exams of course. We've been writing for exams all of our lives! we r used to it.. BUt then we were used to writing! NOW we're used to TYPING! ok and so you ask, what about those who are not really proficient at typing? Won't they be at a disadvantage? And hey! what are we suppose to type on during the exams? Laptops in Nanyang Audi? oooo think of all the wireless capabilities! Won't it just be disastrous... i mean how many invigilators can you dish out...and then there's the issue of printing out the answerss.... just imagine the queue.. very disruptive. oh and then there's the issue of saving and keeping of answers in soft copy, you can just pass it on, cant you? If you have a soft copy somewhere like in your thumbdrive? And what happens if its not an open book test? How do we ensure that students do not bring in soft copies of lecture notes and stuff and so on and so forth.... and the worst thing. what happens if the file becomes corrupted. So many concerns. True true all true. But now don't you reali think that there may be a possibility that exams may be type written in the future? Maybe there can be a lab that does not have internet capabilities and well there's going to be a kind of technology that can save your work AS you are working on it.. (sounds great, doesnt it!) Hmm as for printing, what about maybe having a printer at every computer in THAT paricular exam lab? Then there's the issue of money. And aniway with so many students, how many computers do we need then? Problems of course. but i do believe there will be solutions to these and that in the near near near future, students maybe able to type their exam answers! Don't be surprised then coz you heard it here first! (*winkz*)

Well well thats it for the typing issue. and now the golf. as promised, here's what about it. Golf and exams. See the link? No? ok maybe you should know something about golf then. What comes to mind when i say G.O.L.F. green green pastures with no one? the hot hot sun? umbrella totting tai tais? TIGER WOODS!.. Ooook all are valid, as we always hear, there's no right or wrong! BUT golf in actual fact, no matter how some of you can disagree with me is and still till today remains as a M.E.N.T.A.L G.A.M.E. Yes, get this right, GOLF IS A MENTAL GAME. not all about whacking that darn ball as far as it can goes.... it takes mental training to make that ohh so purrfect swing and still look you best. Just go ask tiger woods. Ok exams.... Ahh.. nope its not a different ball game altogether. Exam is a mental game too. You dont think so? Exams. That piece of paper that tests what you know the whole semester in 2 hours. 2 wheeeny hours, you re cramped into a room with like your whole cohort and you start scribbling and then this is going to determine whether you learn anithing in the sem or not. Just this, im not sayinng this is the lousiest way to test someone's knowlege. It's not. but neither is it the best way either. And yes, exams are a mental game.

And you sports people out there should know this better than anione. Bowling, swimming, basketball, and yes, even football.. sometimes its not the skills of the players but the way their minds are psyched up before a big match. Many coaches these day actually engage people who come in daily to train their players in the mind. See your self kicking in that goal and you jolly well will during the big day. With a lot of training as well of course. If not we can all just train ourselves to think that we will all get an A in the exams and then expect to get one. *What a laugh!*

Signing off
F.L.O.W.E.R.B.L.O.O.M

Do you believe in fate? I do. for a reason or 2. One particular email i remember vividly. There was this girl who was going to get married with her fiancee in a forthnight's time. However, before the wedding, he broke off the engagement and married someone else. Of course the poor girl was devastated. Cant remember what happened in between but aniway, one day this girl met a monk with a magic mirror. He asked her why was she so sad and she told him her story.

The monk listened to her silently and then said: " Look into the mirror and you will understand." She looked and here's what she saw. It was dawn and the stretch of beach was empty except for a naked body lying on the sand near the edge of the water. Someone walked past and gave the body a glance. and that was that. Next, another person came by and this person did something. This person, took off his outer clothing and covered the body. It was not a good sight, the naked body. But that was all he did. Next, after sometime, another person came by and this time, this person buried the body. The vision faded.

The girl looked at the monk. She did not understand. The monk said, you are the one who covered the body with clothes and gave the body respect. Your fiancee's wife was the one who buried the body and gave it closure. K.A.R.M.A. Your finacee has repaid you these years you were together but you were never meant to be man and wife. Its time he repaid the one that put him to rest those years. . . .

You believe in this story? You believe in K.A.R.M.A? What do you call it then? This ability to hit it off with someone straight away sometimes. This feeling as if you've known them forever even though it was only a day? Why is it sometimes you just cant speak your mind with some people even though you've known them forever. It makes you wonder what happened in the past? Was there even such a past at all? It makes one wonder.

C.H.E.M.I.S.T.R.Y. Yet another word to describe this feeling of being able to hit it off with someone. Just like the mixture of chemicals in an experiment lab. Too much and it will explode, too little and there's no reaction. Just right. Ahhh.. thats another thing. What's just right aniway. U know? I dun. Maybe you would like to let me know.

Yesterday you called. You said you may be leaving. When will you be back i asked? Dunno, you said. It made me treasure you a bit more then. Because you were leaving? Maybe. But no i was not sad. Why are you leaving then i asked. You wanted to do something more with your life so that the next time you' re back , maybe there will be something more. But it was never suppose to be like that. You can rain all the money and diamonds and cars but where's the C.H.E.M.I.S.T.R.Y. Sometimes you scale so high and when you finally reached the peak, you look around and realise that you're all alone. Where's everyone else? You're so fast that no one could catch you up. You concentrated so much that you missed everything else along the way. You re so fast.

And yet some are so slow they never make it to the top at all. Should i like the fast you or the slow you? If you're too fast, i ll never catch up and there ll be no one to catch me when i fall coz u r always in front. And even if there's someone to catch me when i fall, it ll never be you then. Too slow, and i ll grow tired of waiting for you. So now what. Just right . Beside.

Everything happens for a reason. Do you believe in that too? I do. everything happens for a reason. But will that reason always be a good one? Is it fixed? Or issit when you believe that the reason is a good one then it will be a good one and vice-versa? Anione knows?

I miss my Grand-dad. Sometimes i wonder if my dreams and ambitions are getting corroded. What a dismaying thought. As you grow older, i realise the fragility of things. These days i suddenly understood most things u cant keep. What's yours any way? Everything goes. Nothing is forever. You just are able to have it for a period of time. Yours? Who says. One day, either you go first or it (pencil case) goes. Then you will be saying if its this case then NOTHINg is ours at all and so we can heck-care abt everything then!

True. To a certain extent. But do you want to do that?No i wun want to. The beauty of life is realising that nothing is here forever. Doesnt the forbidden fruit always taste sweeter? If there was no cold and bitter night, we will not appreciate the beauty of the bright and welcoming day. If there was no black, how would we know the brightness of white. If we did not know the agony of pain, where comes the elation at happiness. Here i am, surrounded by friends and family, each day as i grow older i treasure them more. For it takes something more than fate for us to all meet in this huge network of people. It takes both me and them and something more. Magic maybe.

Today, I learnt something new. Today i felt a lot of things. Today i laughed alot. Today i crammed alot. Today i , today i.

Today i learnt from Hua Qing that a MOSquito..can suck ur blood thru clothes. So i can stop wondering how my tummy gt a mosquito bite animore. The pesky mosquito CAN pierce through my clothes. Hua Qing said he gt stung on the chest... very itchy.

HQ: I think i got stung on the chest by a mosquito, very itchy
Ade: HUH??! how can it be?! it stings you through clothes??!
HQ: Ya!
Ade: Reali?
HQ: you know our army clothes how thick or not they also can sting through.
Ade: Oh gosh....

There you go. Case close. POint no 1. Mosquitoes CAN sting through clothes....beware.


Today i learnt about barriers to entry. Today i applied what i learnt. Today we set the tutorial room to highest perfection and no one will think we are not there. We even managed to scavage a biscuit tin from the room next door... no one will ever know we'r not there. NO one at all.

Today i found out about a Hokkien Blog... named Hokkien lang.. from ms liqi... then later i found out that hey! im a proficient hokkien speaker! waahahahha amazements of all amazements! even better than a particular person. haha haha You guys should reali read that.

Today Andy laughed again.............about yesterday's joke.

Today i talked with Miwa. and we talked and talked and talked and talked...and so it goes on.. and she almost fell asleep in the car while waiting for me and then sleeping in the car with aircon on is poisonous in case you guys dun know. BUt she's still kicking and well..coz she ALMOST slept but no she din.

So much more stuff today. But its onli for today. Everything is an illusion. With a snap of fingers, everything can change. One smile more, one frown more changes everything. Today seems perfect, will tomorrow be. Tomorrow, yet another today to come.

OOHH my god... and this day, the 13th of April, a wednesday one day before the RM paper, my blog was born....with the assistance of a particular ms Liqi and Ms MIwa who gt a bit pek chek with my nicks after a while. Talk about incessant chatting.....

Today's food for thought, or rather lesson learnt: Built up barriers of entry and yes im talking to you BUSINESS students out there. Built up barriers of entry. period. Swarming, invading people taking up your space makes you wonder where all these people came from? and why some people look more inclined to share their stuff?! do i look like that? or rather does ms miwa chan too? a bit abstract but this space is after all for me to blurt out my "pek chekness" u see.

Coming back, pls let me justify the logic of creating a blog on this special day. I was sick of mumbling to myself and talking to myself in the washroom and creating witty sentences in my mind all day only to find that the next day i forgot what all my brilliant thoughts the previous day was all about. what a waste! BUt such things are simply stuff of the past! Ahhhh maybe that's why. Maybe that's why i keep feeling that my brain's saturated with stuff! with all these witty thoughts no-where to go, they are at conflict with all my academic stuff. so look forward to a brain-new...opps i mean BRAND new mee....with less mumblings. then maybe then again, u will see a less quote-sprouting, thought simulating me.......as everything wil be here. good or bad? we shall see...
