when i grow up i wanna be...." (late night ponderings)
27.12.05

been reading... dan brown's angels n demons. quite addictive. read from 12am till about 2++ b4 i finally torn myself away to go bath.

sch's starting and i just started on my holiday hmwk today. very little (almost completed one bio SQ. yes. didnt even finish one qn!) but i guess it's a start. i'm quite worried i wont have time to finish them. i better not waste my nxt few days. i'm actually forgoing the annual e6 chalet for the first time to finish it. i better not miss it for nothing. i want to see my friends thou. so yes, i want sch to start. but i really hope i can finish them b4 sch reopens jeez. have a week.......

watched Grey's Autonomy (5, 11pm) which is abt the life of interns (docters right out of uni, not fullfledged docs kinda). their shifts last 48hrs n their boss give them a really really hard time. a phrase my mom calls the shit-taking. or something, cant rmb the exact phrase.

why do ppl want to be doctors, besides the certainty of wealth n status? lives are in your hands. u hv to be decisive, weight options and decide what to do. huge respondsibility - your decision may very well cause the death of the patient. then there is the patient's family. depending on you to save their love one's life. such huge responsibility that comes with that occupation. there are less taxing occupations around... there are other jobs that can bring in much more money

i wonder if dad has lost anyone. lost any babies. i wonder how it felt like, delievering his first baby. hearing that first cry... i must ask him some day soon.

i see mom and i dont mind living her life. working half a day, a nice per hour rate. i see us leading a comfortable life but it's cos dad's working very hard, dont see him often.

sometimes i'm in awe. all the stuff they must have had to memorise! the syptoms of the hundreds of illnesses, the medicine to prescribe, the SPELLING of all those long jargon and medicine. the practice/skill needed, the confidence to cut open patients and meddle with their insides..

of cos the lofty thought becoming a doctor has crossed my mind with everybody askin if i wanna follow my parents footsteps; with the attraction of having the same lifestyle . do i even have the ability in the first place lol.but do i really wanna be one?

i dont know what i wanna be. what are my interests? photography, advertistments. i dont see myself in those lines thou. i've considered being a dentist - work with my hands, easy money (ithink =S) but only 34 per yr accepted into NUS. or in hospitality. in a hotel or something. serviceorientated. i'm quite gd w ppl no? lol.

and i think i'll prolly be studying in sg la.. when ppl ask if i'm going overseas to study, mom answers w/o skippin a beat "nah, staying put in singapore..if she can make it". wldnt mind spending a few years somewhere else,immersin in a differnet culture/environment, broaden my mind, speak better english lol. and prolly grow up abit. living a pretty sheltered life now, nvr worked a day in my life =S. i've actually left my mind wander sometimes to the day i leave, wonderin who wld be there to send me off.. whether i wld be crying lol. but yup. i understand it wld be a unnecessary financial burden to my parents.

i dont even know what i wanna study!


merry christmas.
25.12.05

Hey hey! It's christmas! Merry merry x'mas to all my friends (esp avril, tricia and Amanda who smsed me greetings lol). And since tis the season for sharing, here's a lame story I’ll share w u all ^_^








Once upon a time, there were two elves, Tui and Ye, snatched very cruelly from Santa by the very cruelly wicked TMB-Long Incisors Monster (TMDLIM) has striked fear into every little brats' hearts for centuries.




TMDLIM

The TMBLIM had a plan. You see, these elves were no ordinary elves. They once belonged to one of Santa's most respected departments, that of the Christmas Tree Decoratiology (CTD)(Santa doesn't endorse 'Holiday Tree' bullshit). He worked those two elves to the bones (bless their poor souls) and sold the trees they decorated to shopping malls. What, u thought xmas trees just magicially appear when x'mas round the corner?!

Cruel work conditions.

Brave Smiles. Just another day in captivity.

Great work! They really know their stuff!

And since security became much much tighter (the highest: Red Nose Alert) after the abduction of Tui and Ye, no other Monster, not even the notorious TMD-Solid Bi Ti Monster (TMDSBIM) managed to get any elves n so, TMDLIM monopolized the Christmas Tree trade! From Taka to Far East to Thomson Plaza in Singapore to Doota in Korea, all the freaking trees were decorated by Tui n Ye! But only 10cents from each dollar earned went to Tui and Ye.

TMDSBIM

With no funds, Tui and Ye were unable to obtain their favourite iceburg lettuce, fried chicken, haagen daaz icecream or meiji chocolate. Day by day, they withered away, catalysed by the lack any quality anime enterainment(AzuD!)(lots of the above mentioned in the North Pole), while the TMDLIM grew rich.

All because the TMDLIM wanted to gold plate its incisors.

The End.

geez. coffee is bad for me. in view that it's 6.11am now.

but seriously, a big thanks to yucui and duanyu who help put up the tree! it's looking fantastic! thanks =)





MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Here's wishing everybody Love, Joy and Happiness thru out the year.

6.29am. time to hit the sack.


my xmas eve

today was nice!

today afternoon, attended ms long's (the now mrs soh) wedding! met up w npcc friends. i was feelin.. abit outta place/uncomfy cos of what i was wearin! mom's. she's nvr wore it b4 thou. haha..but kinda.. different. not often u wear such stuff eh. may hv over done it. went "oh shit" when i was there. lol. mom says since the bride n groom take much pains to dress/doll up, guests shld make an effort too. er. anything la. lol.

Group photo w sirs n mdms!

Every bride’s prettified no? pretty.

mr yeo was there.. mr leong. lots of female teachers. but no ms chan. or ms ow. then yvette told me ms long told her that ms ow was getting married too! ms ow! getting married! wow. it came as a shocker to me..

and that was the first wedding that i got invited to (excluding the ones i attend w my family). contrary to popular belief, the bride doesnt throw the bouquey of flowers for her female friends/relatives to catch (signifies u'll prolly be the nxt to be attached/get married!). and, did u know, the signing of the marriage cert thingy, usually seen on tv to be signed at the ROM, neednt be signed at the ROM! they signed it at the church... darn mediacorp has been misleading me!

dinner w family.
edo sushi at thomson plaza. which was qite empty. all head to town le haha. i like the sushi there.. quite a unusual variety. the "daily specials" Don sets are good! mom had that. the salmon thingy has a nice nice sauce! i had salmon belly soup. haha. i love sashimi! so does mom. n recently my sis too!

bro game. FF something. gameboy.. my bro has 17 original games! n some of them he bought w his own money!!! he ser de!

i'm getting a external harddrive for my photos n files shld my compy crash. and and and and. i got headsets!!!! been wanted a set for ages! my first was a audio technica that hung on the ear w hooks. soundsys was damn good! but it kept fallin off n sound escapes! the nxt i got was a in ear one (w the creative player) but it's not snug n kinda falls off too! so. i concluded i needed those w the inner ear piece thingy tt wont let sound escape. or fall out. but they're quite ex! 60/70/even$80!


inner ear thingy.

anyway. saw this for $50! they had a gift set, 3 for $98 which is like buy 2 get 1 free! so me n sis had new head sets n i lvoe it!!! it fits. it sounds fantastic! so glad to finally get headphones! (my creative ones conked out n i was using crappy ones) have yet to find out if the loop support thing will hurt me in the long run. using it now thou i'm at the comp w windows media player. lol sis was v amused at my shouting stuff to her when we were in the same room (i didnt realised my volume lol)

am getting a zinc sling bag too! whee.

i digress. after dinner, some shopping for fruits, thumbdrive (mom), ink, headsets, we left thomson. didnt feel like heading home so, we went to united sq's starbucks! my favourite starbucks! 3 of us had cameral machioto! played snake n ladders (provided courtosy of *$) hee. such an old game! i kept getting 1s and 2s! -_-. but in the end i won! haha. mom who was leading all the way got last in the end. see, slow n steady wins the race can! dad counted wrongly like twice. we say, cheat! can try force him to forgo his nxt turn as a penalty! but he fights for his rights v passionately so yeah. haha.

on the way home, in the car, chitchatted about the hokkien lord of the rings and AZUMANGA w bro! i've the whole series le, a big big big thanks to kelvin for 1-9 n duans for 10-26!! <3.>

i really enjoyed today.

n home i am (amzingly in one piece). blogging.

those close to me wld know i get hyper after a dose of caffine (aka, they had to put up w it hee). n mayb tt's y i blogging!! w lots of !!! instead of ... to end of sentences. but hey, at least i'm blogging. mayb i shld drink coffee late a night more often eh?

and blogger takes freakin long to upload pics la!!!! 3.08am le T_T

ps photos are not fullsize (even when clicked on). msg me on msn if u wan the fullsized ones! (quoting the captions)


beijing~
10.12.05

i'm finally done packing!

at 11+pm this was my room


more or lessed packed, except for my mp3 charger n my camera charger (i bought a spare batt!! my camera died 2/3 times in taiwan! nt bad, $39.90)

apparently, this tour has SIXTY freakin ppl! that's a lot! taiwan trip was 35 ppl. i dont think i get to know lots of ppl my age prolly old folks or young kids..

gonna be really cold! -2C in the day and -10C at night! hope i've brought enough clothes!

taiwan trip felt really different from any other holiday. didnt have that escape frm Singapore life/ romantic you're alone w ur family in some foriegn land feel. prolly cos of the teachers n of cos, my friends being there. more abt that in the taiwan blog entry when i'm back!

the last time i went on a sch trip was in pri5, to beijing! didnt make much friends cos i stuck to my grp. either tt or i forgot! this time, i'm not only going w my family, but my grandparents are going too!! fantastic.

more phototaking! the comments i got on the taiwan photos were really encouraging!("u got good photography skills i realise thatafter viewing ur pics. the angle u capture and everything"michelle "hey must comment on ur pic man they are realli good! the sunset at some temple i totally luv tat one. the angle and the composition of ur pics are unique too"CT. whenever i doubt self, shall look back on these comments lol).half way thru the trip, at the lotus pond place, i was quite irritated/disillusioned; felt my shots werent good, normal/nt outstanding after viewing some of my friends'. told myself that was just a bad day (of photograpgy) n it'll be alright. turned out ok la haha. captured sweet shot of a temple silutted against a sunset.. encouragement!

i aim to take photos that ppl ususally miss/dont see. capture things that i didnt expect taiwan to have/to be like.(i wish i had some shots on the many political billboards/banners). i try avoid the normal touristy shots (but of course, there'll always be some hee). hwoever i need to get myself in more photos! v lil proof tat i was in taiwan ^^;. i keep thinkin i'll spoil the photo ^^;; but for memeory sake!!

oh yeah. view the taiwan photos! contributed by ppl who went to taiwan. mine are.. well,labelled under "emily" haha.

ok. enough typing 2am le, go sleep emily! u're wakin up in 3hrs time!

唯一
王力宏

我的天空多么的清晰
透明的全都是过去的空气
牵着我的手是你
拌你的笑容
却看不清

是否一颗星星变了心
从前的愿望
你全都给抛弃
最近我无法呼吸 连自己的影子
都想找你

oh baby
你就是我的唯一
两个世界都变形
回去谈和容易
确定你就是我的唯一
独自对着电话说我爱你
我真的爱你
baby
我已不能爱你多一些

其实早已超过了爱的界限

currently in love w this song lol. this albun was out in 2002. i cant find the album -_-. anybody wanna find it for xmas? haha.
