My old "About Me"
```Simple things make me hapPIE, little things make me lauGh, some things can make me aNgry, the rest can make me sAd...``` ```Though I never ever seemed to be, but little little thoughts and gestures can touch me easily to the heart...``` ```Hurting anyone is never my intention, though many a times words and actions may seem to imply so… But having a natural cursed mouth is not something which I have control over too...``` ```That’s all I know about myself, the rest is for you to find out... if you ever have the patience to. Ha~```

3 weeks later after my exams...
... and man, i'm still slacking.. Argghhh...
I'm super restless sia.. Maybe cos i'm quite broke now also le, wan enjoy life also no money to enjoy anymore liao. I mean, what form of entertainment (that's fun) is free in Singapore? If you don't have the $$, there's simply almost nothing you can do here. Once you step out of the house, you must alr pay for the transport to go anywhere else in S'pore. Eating, Bowling, Movie, Coffee, Boardgames... Which of these don't require monies?? Never mind out of the house, even watching TV at home you also must pay for the TV subscription, electricity blah blah... Faints!
Anyway... cos i'm super restless, i decided to update my long not-updated blog.. And also update my blog a little so that at least in future i know what i've done during my graduation vacation. Lol...
Starting from last last last week (oops, heh.. din noe it's so long ago liaoz)...
13th May, Tues
Afternoon: Met up with yt and jj to discuss about genting trip. Because we wanna go before the sch hols (peak), so have to go and leave before 23rd. At Plaza Sing, went to the travel agency to find out more about the price. End up booking with them. Lol...
Cos the package is simply too good to resist~ For S$138, in total we got 2 First World rooms for 2 nights, 2-way coach trips, and 2 complimentary breakfasts each!!!
Evening: Met up with ws and wei for this GE talk with Adam Khoo, this young entrepreneur who became a miillionaire at 26. True enough, his talk is really inspirational, almost made me wanna sit for the test and join GE. Almost. But i think that this job will most probably be under my retirement plans.. hah.. I wan do other stuffs now.
14th May, Wed
The first Ethelonter 5 briefing. Met up with the rest of my group counselors as well as the rest of the others, know much more about the camp and also got the schedule for dry runs. I was kinda intimidated by the super high enthusiasm of the rest of the counselors sia. I really hope i'll get used to it sia.
15th May, Thurs
Went to this Shiseido talk by this pretty lady whom i think looks a little like Hebe. Overall, i think her talk was okay, though not real interesting but not boring either. But i guess the others don't think so. My AKC who sat next to me whispered, "Kill me please~" and even the two other Shiseido's representatives (i seriously don't know what is the purpose of their prescence, maybe just to accompany the speaker?) were playing around with their handphones while the speaker is talking. Hmmm... but nvm, i'm only there for the free samples~ (Which only turns out to be a facial wash and some oil blotters, when i thought got perfume or cosmetics.=s)
16th May, Friday
Went with yt and jq for kbox~ tried out lots of new english songs.. They have lots of updated and new ones with authentic MTVs!! Was quite surprised sia~~ Haa.. Then later we went back to NUS to book our gowns...
...and i think i shouldn't have register so soon on impulse. In the end i mixed up my degree category and have to pay an extra $6 for the admin change. Damn. And the school didn't really specify the difference between Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Soc. Science. WTH, one is with honours, the other without. Meaning for social sciences in FASS with honours you get Bachelor of Soc. Sci., without, you get Bachelor of Arts. How on earth would we know that??!!
17th May, Saturday
rest at home.
18th May, Sunday - Flying Above Singapore
Was thinking that my grandma never had a chance to fly on a plane due to her leg problems, so thought that Singapore Flyer would be a good alternative for her to experience being at high altitudes and enjoying the view above~ haha.. So our whole family went, and due to my grandma's condition, we got a whole capsule for ourselves~!!! HA!
Okay think i better go sleep now, will update the rest next time~ =)

Drawing personality
What does your drawing say about YOU?
The results of your analysis say:
You tend to pursue many different activities simultaneously. When misfortune does happen, it doesn't actually dishearten you all that much.You are a direct and forthright person. You like to get to the core of the issue right away, with few signs of hesitation.
You like following the rules and being objective. You are precise and meticulous, and like to evaluate decisions before making them.
You have a sunny, cheerful disposition.

Thoughts on flaws, criticisms and transparency...
Recent spate of events has set me thinking...
Why am i so prone to criticisms by others? Especially by friends, which is even worse.
Don't criticise others and you won't be criticise by others??
The thing is I usually don't criticise others at all, so why this critical treatment??
And its not because they are flawless or perfect sia.
But because i chose to keep quiet about it, not wanting to disturb the peaceful relationship.
But i just realised this "don't criticise others if you don't want to be criticised" theory don't work at all. If you don't criticise others, others would do that to you. And if you keep quiet and be nice to others, they would think they don't have as much flaws as you and that sorta give them the right to talk about you critically.
Treating others considerately may not equate to others giving you a similar treatment after all. So, why bother trying so hard to be so considerate, tactful and nice towards them when they don't even give a heck?
Defence! Why bear the insult?
When someone passed me a negative remark, i used to think "why bother to cover these flaws? After all, they are good friends already, and they probably have good intentions to change me for the better." Or when someone joked about my flaws, i used to think "it's okay, they are just kidding, no harm. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill".
But no, i realised if you keep quiet and don't defend yourself on the spot, others will think that you admit and agreed with them. That little little harm may thus accumulate to the mountain, when negative remarks and jokes occurs at higher frequency, at a greater level, and even to the point of hurtful insult. I sometimes wonder, what are they thinking? With increasing hurtful comments, are they trying to test my threshold of tolerance, or do they want to see my response when i reach that threshold? And recently that threshold has been greatly lowered, and if i do reach it, it's definitely not gonna be pretty.
And the part about their good intention? Nah... i realised (sadly) that most people criticise just so they can feel good about themselves, like putting others down while boosting their self-confidence or something. After all feeling good about oneself is the very most basic goal of every human, consciously or subconsciously (cited from ET's notes, thus not a sweeping statement). And also, if they really have good intentions, where's their good advice? Why only a truck full of criticisms but no suggestions or solutions to the problem?? Not only that, the tone of that person also tells a lot. Even a fool can differentiate between concern and plain mocking.
Transparency: Displaying too much of yourself?
Again, i used to think i really do have many flaws...while others seem to be flawless. Everyone has flaws. But perhaps, my main big flaw is that i'm super transparent to others that i don't really hide my unglam, my bad habits, and my whatever other flaws to others. While on the other hand, those seemingly "flawless others" are very good in hiding or "justifying" their own negative points. And because my flaws are known, others tend to up-play them, making them more salient to everyone else, including me, while they cover theirs well. For many years i foolishly believe in it, and that's probably why i lost confidence in myself along the way.
Yup, but a good number of events and some people has taught me not to reveal too much to another, esp flaws. And being nice is only for people who are nice to you. Being nice to someone who isn't to you is no longer called magnanimity, but now seen as foolishness, even to that same not nice someone whom you treat nicely.
Of course these are just my thoughts, and venting of my frustration. So there's no need to spark up a debate or anything. And it's not refering to a specific someone, but about a couple of events in general. May or may not apply to you, you be your own judge.

Most satisfying paper ever...
Social Cognition!! My last paper!!
Think it's also my most satisfying paper ever!! Haha!
Finished the paper on time!! And it tests everything that i studied!! Lolx!
Spent quite some doing my Short Ans questions initially. Spent 1 hr 15 mins.
Left 45 mins for 40 MCQs. Rushed it all, in the end still left 10+ mins to do my unfinished question!! HAha... And spent the last 10 minutes doing a 15 mark question.
Amazing... 40 mcqs in 30 mins! My record-breaking time sia!
But i think the standard of this paper is doable. I feel the MCQs are quite easy, but a few people told me it's tricky, so quite worried that i didn't get the trick part.
Short ans is not that straightforward, not in the notes and have to link yourself. And i think i gave quite short and crappy answers. So this part i've no confidence.
To prove my point on the standard of the paper, about 20% has left the exam hall 20-30 minutes before the exam end sia. So many people must have felt it's easy too..
But overall, this is the first module i've no regrets with. Interesting lectures, comprehensive notes, good project mates, doable mid term and finals! And in the end i only spent 2-3 days to study for this... HA!
Results I can't say it will be good, since there's like a big bunch of the dean list's people taking this module... But at least i know this paper i gave my best shot liao. =D
And now i'm abit at a loss sia.. AFter the past few days of intensive studying, Now no more exams, suddenly don't know what to do sia... Lol...
Guess i'll source out for more dramas to watch~~ Muahahah...
Tata.. go sleep liao~
