feelings @11:05pm

abit of 'ci ci de' feeling in my heart. like it's aching or something. in any way, it doesn't feel good. dunno issit that am feeling sad. can't really tell what am feeling at times. ya, ok. am an idiot. thanx for the compliment. -----------------------------------------------------------

9am.

Today was a bright and cheery morning. got up and was quite looking forward to today, somehow. BUT. ----------------------------------------------------------- 1st thing that spoilt my day. ----------------------------------------------------------- my sister was driving me to school. on the way, she asked me. 'what the hell is that?!' (she was driving and at the same time pointing at something on the road which what she thought was a flattened piece of cardboard.) being the lazy me, was slouching, therefore i straightened to have a better look. wrong move. bad move. super wrong move. super-duper bad move!! guess wad i saw. A flattened cat. 1..2..3.. EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! let me describe the cat to you. as i can remember it. 1. it was lying on its stomach. 2. it was obviously a cat because of the colour of the fur: white base with black patches. 3.outside the outline of the fur was another pinkish-reddish outline. it was the flesh of the cat all mashed up!!! YYYUUUUCCCKKKSSSSSS!!!!!! gross gross gross gross gross gross grosssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw, i was so shocked that i just stared at the body and did not remember seeing the head. sis saw it though. YYYUUUUCCCKKKSSSSSS!!!!!! super duper duper duper gross gross gross gross gross gross grosssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- 2nd thing that spoilt my day. ----------------------------------------------------------- my MIS paper. gross. !@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*@#$%^&*@#$%^& first shock: i got 28/50, which is 56/100. which is a just pass. A just pass!!!!!!!!!!! how disgusting!!!! second shock: everyone around me got higher than me. third shock: "i know that alot of you have many other points. but our marking scheme is only on these 4 points." !@#$%^&!%&*!@#$%^&*!!! watever. (rolls eyes till they drop out.) this teacher obviously hates a paper written in point form. why would i say this is because a friend and i wrote the same thing, only difference was that his was in paragraphed manner and mine was in point form. i got a zero. !$%^&*!#$%^&*!@^&*!!!!!!!!!!! super watever. (super duper rolls eyes till they drop out.) ----------------------------------------------------------- bad start to this day. wondering what other spoilers are in it for me. so excited to find out. (rolls eyes so much they almost flew out and rolled 10 metres) bah! -----------------------------------------------------------

ok. dun ask. not gonna tell.

-----------------------------------------------------------

going out for supper later.
(dinner has turned into late-night supper for 2.)

was suppposed to go to some japanese restaurant for dinner.
didn't have time to go. (reservation was at 6pm)

anyway, when called to cancel the reservation, an auntie picked up the phone.
an extract fo the conversation:

me: hi, i would like to cancel my reservation.

auntie: why you not coming anymore?

me: (stunned for a moment that she would actually ask me such a question.) huh? err. no time.

auntie: orh.. ok lor. i cancel for you. next time when you free then come down lor!

me: huh? ok ok. bye bye.

haha. the auntie is funny. the whole conversation was in chinese btw.
(she's an auntie lor. waddya expect? british accent?)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Chinese New Year.

-----------------------------------------------------------

hmmm. Chinese New Year.
besides ba kwa, oranges and ang pows, this year i had something else to occupy my entire CNY as well.

no. it's not the iip project. (although it should have been)
it's.. Mahjong!
hehe!
=]

-----------------------------------------------------------

actually, this CNY is one of the worst CNY ever.
(ok, minus the cash collected from all my ang pows anyway. hah!)
did not do my hair. (i.e. colour, highlight + cut)

it's quite a big issue for me.
(ok, i admit. i'm vain. so shoot me. :P)
used to go to reds and sit there from 12pm-8/9pm just because of my hair.
miss those days.

other than hair, also had the prototype to finish.
before CNY was common test week.
had exactly 10 days to complete the prototype.
but during that 10 days it was CNY.
(well, had to go to my relatives' houses to bai nian, ok.)
talk about rush!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Anyway. enough said.
shall not harp on the fact that it's a bad CNY cos had to rush.
love CNYs.
=]
although they make me fatter.
hmpf.

-----------------------------------------------------------

love valentines' day as well.
cos it's so romantic.
(yes, am a sucker for love and romance.)

-----------------------------------------------------------

love my school and the wonderful work and deadlines as well.
ee..yucks.
(couldn't deceive myself in the end.)
sigh.

-----------------------------------------------------------

last but not least.
to Lindsey Li Ping Chia:

I LOVE YOU BABE!!!
*muacks muacks muacks*
(see? u receive one more kiss from me as compared to xuemin!!! that goes to show how much i love you! p.s. min: i noe u wun mind. u got ur binbin! hah!)

appreciated.
*muacks*
(see! one more!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

G e n i u s ? ? ?

did an IQ test just now.

havent done an IQ test before, and lindsey was saying how unique she was, therefore had the urge to try it out as well.

was quite nervous before actually carrying out the test.
(did not want the test result to tell me that am an idiot with an IQ of 0, you know?)

anyway.
was quite relieved to find that was not an idiot.
then i was quite shocked that my score was 120.
(i mean, isn't 120 and above a genius score????)
then.
then i was happy that score was 120.
then was proud of myself.
(for being smart. 120 lehhh!!!!)
was feeling damn smug for about two minutes.
then i felt stupid.
-----------------------------------------------------------

now dun really feel anything.
cos after reading their analysis, think that they're not accurate.

u decide.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Angela, your Super IQ score is 120

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you a Concrete Thinker. This means your intelligence is grounded in a clear understanding of what is happening around you. In situations where others are confused, things are crystal clear to you. In addition, you have the unusual combination of strong verbal and numerical skills. You are able to solve equations and then use your verbal skills to explain those solutions to others.

How did we determine that your thinking style is that of a Concrete Thinker? When we examined your test results further, we analyzed how you scored on 8 dimensions of intelligence: spatial, organizational, abstract reasoning, logical, mechanical, verbal, visual and numerical. The 3 dimensions you scored highest on combine to make you a Concrete Thinker. Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities.

-----------------------------------------------------------

point proven.

anyone who noes me noes that i suck at math and equations.
i cannot solve problems to save my skin.
and more often than not, i think with my heart.
concrete thinker??
yeah rite!!!

bleah.

stupid.

-----------------------------------------------------------

W o m e n .

women.

women are more financially stable these days.

women are to be treated as equals (with the men).

do these sound familiar?

but.

women are still women.

-----------------------------------------------------

they are still suckers when it comes to love.

they still are willing to do anything for the man that they love.

or so they think they love.

they still spill buckets (yes, buckets) of tears over guys.

(sidetrack: i don't mean to say all women, so feme.. err.. independent females out there, no offense ya?)

-----------------------------------------------------

No.

i am not trying to say that women still live for guys, of course.

but this was what i felt when i was watching channel 8 @7pm.

-----------------------------------------------------

other than the above-mentioned.

women are also perceived by men (who else) to perform certain duties.

women of the past were to be seen and not heard.

women of the past were to be homemakers.

nothing else.

oh. they were also expected to love only one guy, whereas that same guy can love many many girls.

-----------------------------------------------------

unfair.

therefore women these days are stronger.

however, the above-mentioned about women of the past still do happen.
don't they?

women are still expected to conform to the customs, norms and beliefs.

-----------------------------------------------------

but.

there are also women who are baddies.

as seen on channel 8 (again) @9pm.

they are despicable, cheat and lie and do evil things.

for guys.

hah!

enough said.

women!

-----------------------------------------------------

hmmmm.
on another note, though.

i have come across afew emails on women.

not those on their bimboticness (lindsey would say 'bomboticness'), but on their value. oh, and on their tears.

lindsey sent me an email on the value of women once a long time ago.

apparently it dated back 5000 years ago.
(that's long, ain't it? they apparently valued women alot. or do they?)

It says:

"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears.

The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on.

Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal.

Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."

-----------------------------------------------------

how true.

-----------------------------------------------------

today @4pm.

i sat there.

listening.

just listening in silence.

listening to the cold, unfeeling voice.

as the sound grew louder, deafening.

the lashings and cutting remarks.

ears ringing from the mocking.

mocking me.

for being childish.

for being stupid.

for being.

such.

an.

idiot.

----------------------

emotions running through me while left alone, listening to the dial tone..

I n f l u e n c e s .

hmmmm.

who are the people in your life who affect you?
as in, influences your thinking, lifestyle and moods?
are there many such people in your life?

--------------

u might ask, what abt my life?
i don't know.
or maybe i do.
hmmmmmmm.

---------------

on thinking.

close friends have a certain influence on my thinking.
i think i do not have to name them.

they will know who they are.

*

my sister has an even greater amount of influence over my thinking.

i remember when i was young, she was like, my role-model.
i even wanted to think like her.
hah.
my ignorance.

no offense there, aight, baobs?
*muacks*

now, i ask her for opinions every now and then, or even try to ask very indirectly what she thinks over certain stuffs.

(ok, sidetrack abit.. i noe there's no such word as stuffS. but i like to use stuffS still. p.s. my sis is very irritated every time i say stuffS.
can hear her snorting at the word stuffS already.)

but sometimes when i do not want her opinion, she tends to give them to me as well.
hah!

i'll always accuse her of trying to impose her taste on me.
(ok lah, i admit. that's more for clothes and such.)

ok. shall not talk abt sister anymore.
this is not about her anyway.

:P

---------------

on lifestyle.

while i was typing this, i was wondering who really had an influence over my lifestyle.

then i realised.
it's my parents.

they influence my lifestyle everytime they decide to move from house to house.

ok, maybe i'm just taking every opportunity i have to shoot them for wanting to shift. again.
bleah.

but they do.
and by shifting house again and again and again, they do it again and again.

my usual routine will no longer be usual, and routines will no longer be routines.
it'll just be something that i'll miss.
badly.

*sniff*

*

ok.
anyway, friends and sis also influences my lifestyle.
or do they?

maybe i shall put it this way.
i have a friend who's practically nocturnal.
(ok lah, it's Cherlyn. =/ )

having a good friend who's nocturnal will turn me into somewhat a 'ye mao zi' (i.e. night cat).
hah!

i also have a friend who recently loves blogging.
(it's Lindsey. you guys should already noe that, right?)

because of her blogging habits, and her constant naggings on me to make blogging my habit;
my lifestyle has therefore included blogging and reading her blogs.

enuff said.
NEXT!

---------------

on moods.

moods.

hmmmm.

moods.

many, many, many people affect my mood.

*

my friends affect my mood.

when they're unhappy, i tend to feel sad too.

when they're bored, i will get sian.

when they're mad at me (how seldom is that!!), i feel upset.

*

my family affect my mood. (sis included here, ok?)

when they barge into my room during the early hours of the morning, i feel grumpy and irritated the entire day.
when someone bangs the drawers loudly when it's early, they're late for school and i'm still sleeping; i get angry and feel like shouting at that someone.

you know who you are!
hah!

(NB: why is it that i don't actually get up and scold them is because i'm often too tired, so i just make a noise and go back to sleep.)

when my parents scold me, i get very sad. =(
when they comment on my driving, i get mad.
ok, you get the idea.

*

wait.
there's another person who affects my mood.

my darling.

when we have a good time outside, or rather when i spend time with him; be it watching movies, cycling, going out, going shopping or watever;
i feel very happy.

when we talk over the phone for the longest time about nothing at all, i also feel very happy.
hah!

when i see him, definitely i feel happy.

when he feels stressed, i share his feelings.

when we quarrel, i feel sad. :(
i also feel angry.
at myself, mainly.

---------------

hmmmmm.

i guess that's about it.

these are the many people in my life.

who have an influence over me.

---------------

hmmmmmm.

ok.

hands up those who are still keeping up with my awfully long post!
cheerios to you guys!
*muacks*
yay! u're still alive!!

yes, this has indeed been an awfully long post.
don't remember ever blogging this much before.

but till now, i still don't understand the purpose of this blog entry.
maybe it's just something i wanna share with you guys.
=]

---------------

i guess that;

the people who are important to you and you hold dear in your heart are the people who affect you the most, and have the greatest influence in your life.

NB: notice i didn't mention people who weren't worth mentioning.

---------------

hah!
ok.
hope you've enjoyed reading this post.

nevermind if you have not.

i dun really care anyway.

off to study now.
i know, i know!! i should have done this earlier!!!
