I think i'm beginning to like CSC better so far...
Though i can't tell for sure whether this positive feeling will maintain in future, this is what i'm feeling right now...
Ok, i can't say i joined the cca because i'm caring or kind or that i've the passion to help and care for the unfortunate... In fact i joined only because i don't have a cca and just nice WS's friend is in that committee so can jio me in.. Haha.. But hey, after interacting with the residents there, i find it not as boring as i thought to be.. On the contrary, i actually found it fun to interact and play games with the residents there, it even gives me a sense of satisfaction when i know i can really brighten their day...
The people in CSC are also some nice and friendly people... Given the antisocial me, i still don't know many of them, not close with any yet other than WS.. But from observation, i can tell they are very nice people... and given the nature of this CCA, this is not too unexpected...
But of course, who says only the very kind and caring people who can join this CCA??? Those who want to cultivate more 爱心 can also join wat, right??? Even WS also join le... who else can't ya??? (lolx... jkjk!!!)
Though i'll still continue to complain about meeting at an absurdly far location at such a disgusting time, and pull a super long face when i reached..., i'll still make it for every meeting and join more of the club's activities...
My only regret is that i didn't join this CCA earlier, because it's my last sem now and i've missed a good damn lot of their fun activities le...=(

Lydia Shum
Oh my god... got a shock just now...
Lydia Shum (Shen Dian Xia aka Fei Fei) has just passed away today...
Yet another familiar face gone...
She was diagnosed liver cancer about a year ago... And look what the disease had done to her...
Heart really goes out to her when i saw this photo...
shrunken to only half her usual size and in a wheelchair...
This is her when she attended the TVB 40th awards last november.
It's so heart aching to think that she must have passed away in an even smaller frame...
I think it'll take centuries to forget the bright smiles of this iconic 开心果 bah~~~

Past few days...
V-day: Nothing much to talk about, since i had lessons from 12 - 8 without any break... ;( But at least i got a gift from tl and saw a shuai ge at a booth in sci.. :)
Friday: The cranberry's set up a booth in NUS~!! And I contributed too... just by talking to Bridget beside the booth~~~ lolx...
Saturday: Went for the usual morning meeting at Bishan... ( 950 am and all the way there!!! ) faints! Yesterday not bad, finally get to interact with the residents there... Taught them how to play basketball... haha.. some of them told me a few of them goes to city harvest church on saturdays.
Today: Went swimming with my mom, think i super long never swim liao... Swim a bit will get aches in the arms... Also, had a good rest the whole of today since i hardly had much sleep the past few days...
Random complaints:
Budget... Don't exactly know how much i'll get, but i think should be at most 300 only... sighs.
People... This is when my psychology stuff comes into practice.. A few people huh.. keep saying i'm what and what... Ok, i just listen and accept (happily or not, that's another thing haha..). Then when they more or less have a similar response/result, they usually tell me it's different mah, cos they have to do what and what, have what and what commitments, or simply just they have other more important priorities.
Now i see what it means by people usually attributes success/positive behaviours to internal reasons... and failures/negative behaviours to external causes... But strangely when judging others, it's vice versa, ie attribute negative behaviours to internal reasons.
Simple eg,
You fail because you're stupid. You scored A because you are lucky.
I fail because i don't think this is important, but i scored A because i'm smart.
Likes/Passion... I don't know why many people have this stereotypical thinking that liking something/ having a passion for something means you have to excel in it.. It's true that many a time, liking something gives you the motivation to do well in it or that doing well in something makes you grow passion in it. But that also does not necessarily mean you can't like something that you are not good in right?
In fact, the stiff competition has sometimes made me lose interest in whatever interest i have in the first place...
I remember some time ago, people asked me, "what do you like to do?"
Me, "___"
Then the next thing they asked is, "Then you know about this & this??" or "are you good in this or this???"
Me,"Not very good..."
Them, "I'm even better than you, and i'm not very interested so how can you say you like this thing when you're not even good in it/ well-informed about it??"
The equation seems to be: Like something = Good at it
LEvel of Interest...is really measured by how far you pursue it...

My 1st TOTO...
I remember the chinese new year programme mentioned:
The lucky numbers for those born in the Tiger year are:
1,3,4
Then my mom had this Bingo Lotto machine which can generate random numbers.
(It's given to her by her colleague, who used it as a toto machine.)
I have never been interested in toto, cos our maths teachers always told us how slim the probability is to win anything... And it's really damn hard to pick the 6 correct numbers out of 45 lor...
But this little machine looks fun and interesting, plus i wanna test whether the lucky numbers are accurate or not, so i decided to give it a try just for fun.
1st time: i put all the 45 balls in it, and randomly draw 7 numbers (system 7)
2nd time: i picked out all the numbers which contain only 0, 1, 3 and 4s. Eg 1, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 14, 30, 43 etc... I also added the '08' ball.. everyone knows it's a huat no..., how can i bear to deny its chance of being chosen??? lolx... Then i put these chosen balls in the machine and then randomly draw 7 numbers from it. The 7 numbers were: 08, 10, 11, 31, 40,42,43. (I can't rem how 42 get into the machine le.. haha)
And my mom really went to buy both combinations yesterday man...
Then she asked me to check, along with 1 that she bought herself, as well as one shared ticket with her colleagues which contains 5 combinations bah.
The shared ticket... Only 1 or 2 numbers out of all the 5 combis!!! Faints!
The quick pick she bought... None came out.
My 1st combi.. 1 or 2 numbers came out.
My 2nd... 4 numbers. I was so dui man... Cos initially i thought 1 more number i would have won a prize~~ Later i told my mom, she went to check and then told me 4 numbers is also considered a winning ticket... So in the end, we won the Group 6 cat (3+1 combi). The lowest pay-offs....
But nonetheless, it's still a little good piece of luck~~ ^_^
Some side info:
The winning toto: 05, 08, 17. 30 (argh, i had this no. in my machine!!), 31, 43. Additional: 42.
The Group 1 cat got 2 million eACH!!!! walao... one of the highest pay-offs ever lo...
Whatever is yours will be yours....
I heard the 10 million big draw is coming sooon..... heh.

Happy CNY~!!!
Ha.. though a bit late, but still wanna wish you guys a Happie Ratty Year~~!!!!
(doesn't sound very nice though... haha...)
The same visits again...
1st day: Went to 2 grandmas' place, and my brother's babysitter's place
2nd day: to my aunt's place..
3rd day: slack at home
Hmmm... this year was pretty boring, not much activities.. never visit people's place like last time... less angbaos also.. Plus the bakwas and pineapple tarts don't taste as yummy also... Range also not as much as last year's... Probably cos of the crazy prices of these food stuffs this year...
A box of Bengawan Solo pineapple tarts:
Last year - $18
This year - $23 (!!!)
Even with inflation and (the forever) rising oil prices, i don't see why there should be a 30% increase bah!!!
And the Lim Chee Guan's famous Ba Kwa is like 50 bucks a kilo??!!!?!?!?
FaintS~!!!
Expensive new year this year~~
But my mom still buys quite a bit of new year stuff nevertheless... maybe she's expecting guests.. but since nobody visit us so far... i think it'll all disappear to somewhere pretty soon... wahahhaha...
Hope you all had lots of angbaos~!! =)

Welcome to my life...
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No, they don't understand me at all...
And they seemed to have no interest either...

An atom in the universe
i've always known that we are very tiny in the black world out there, but i didn't realise how tiny... to the extent of being microscopic...
I've always thought our planets, our Sun and all the moons and stars make up a galaxy...
But no... our solar system is only 1 out of the 4-5 arms in our Milky Way galaxy. And there's like 1.5 million galaxies in the observable universe~~~!!!!!!! (note: observable universe)
AND each universe contains like 400 billion (not million) stars~!!!
I'm only 1 out of the 6 billion people on this planet, which is 1 of the 8 planets circling a star out of the 400 billion in the Milky Way galaxy, which is only 1 out of the 1.5 million (discovered for now only) galaxies in the universe~!!!
I just realised my existence in the universe is so teenily tiny man....
just like an atom in relative to the universe!!!
