My cmsk oral presentation is finally over. Thanks to God for giving me the confidence that I needed, and to Jairus, an intelligent NUS student-to-be, for giving me brilliant points and excellent sentences, and for teaching me how to win my case.

These few weeks I have realised that I have a lot of friends. In secondary school, I felt completely left out. Imagine to have only 2 playmates that were not even your classmates, and imagine to have your whole classmates think that you are a weirdo who has an attitude problem! Yep.. Life will be hell for you. I dont know what wrong things I had done in Secondary school. I didnt gossip, I didnt backstab, I didnt bitch around.. I understand that I was kinda like a volcano back then.. I could not control my emotion and will straight away vomitted everything out to my "best friend" (I put " " coz I think she hates me now). But apart from that, I was kind of melancholic, I didnt say out my thoughts enough, and I was a quiet gal, very far from loud.

Perhaps in sec school I was still a kid. My school in Singapore was a secular school, not like my sec school in Jakarta back then.. It was a Christian school, and majority of its pupils are Christians. We had prayers and Bible reading every morning, and a sermon once a week. My friends back then were very thoughtful and kind, cos they were Christians! Sometimes we share our thoughts, and everyone was willing to lend their shoulders for me to cry on. I love my sec school life in Indonesia.. Sigh.. Hope I could turn back time.. :S

I dont think I have an attitude problem now. I have learnt a lot from that nasty experience. I am now very different from secondary school. I am vibrant, and I make friends with everyone. One of my classmates is often surprised by how many friends I have gained in poly within such a short period of time.. Well, the reason is simple. In poly, I took part in events that are still "managable". Helping others set up a booth, attend talks and seminars, attend workshops, camps, and any other events.

Another thing, I am an anti-gossip person! I have never put any interests in gossipping, ever since in primary school, or best, ever since I was born! I am not like most girls. Sometimes I listen to them gossipping, but I never give any damn about their comments. I have my own life to care for, unless they themselves ask me to give any advices. Not that I am an apathetic person, I do care for their souls. But I dont like gossipping. It doesnt change someone's life. Perhaps one's life is awful or immoral, let's say. But does gossipping help? NO!! What we have to do is pray for that person, or approach the person with smile and make a difference in the person's life! Well, becoz of my limited english ability, what I can do is just praying for him/her. I believe in the power of prayers.

Whatever..

Today is the 22nd of July 05, which means that it is the last day of TP International Food Festival and Bazaar. I was supposed to have a class commenced at 9am in the morning but I did not manage to attend that class. The reason? Well, simply because I woke up late. Soooo freakin late. It was 10am when my eyes started to open. I jumped straight away, very shocked by the fact that I seldom late. I rushed to the bathroom and did a quick wash. I grabbed my bag and ran straight to take a cab. The fare was unexpectedly raised to be so expensive. $8.50!! Shucks. Luckily I had enough cash in my wallet.

You know what? God has been so good to me these days. I asked God for no rain for these 3 days during the bazaar so that business can run smoothly, and He answered my prayers. Just yesterday, I was too tired debating with David, causing me not to read the Bible before going to bed. The result is, I was late today. But God punishes people with love. In the end I did not attend the class, and He knows that this is enough for me to change. I repented and promised myself not to miss reading the Bible ever again. Fortunately, that day I had the Leave Of Absence (LOA) Letter, regarding the bazaar thingy. I was permitted to skip lectures and tutorial classes during the Food Festival, but I did not want to skip lectures so I did not use it. Today, I went to the General Office and submit my LOA letter to them as the reason on why I did not go to the tutorial class this morning. Hehe.. so kewl rite?? =P

TP International Food Festival finally over. I had so much fun these past 3 days selling the snacks and stuff. Because we were making losses, Yusrin came up with a splendid idea! He presented his sketches to be given away in a lucky draw as a grand prize. His drawings include Jay Chou, Angelina Jolie, David Beckham, Fann Wong, and Britney Spears. Those people who buy from our stall for at least $2, get a chance to win the grand prize. The other prizes are Silver Queen, Chocolates, Drinks, and many more. Even though we earned just nice to cover our expenses, and our profit was only $14, we really do have so much fun. Today is the day that definitely will not be erased from my memory.

Our Stall. Esther and Yessica wore traditional Indonesian Costumes


The Salesmen


Grand Prize Winner: Angelina Jolie


After counting the Omzet

I cannot reveal everything here. The fun is just so huge till I find myself to be caught in difficulty of typing it up, as it is so difficult to be phrased in sentences. So guys, it is too bad if you miss the bazaar. Our candy floss is soooo popular among our customers. Hehehe. =P

Hey... ^^ yesterday, my beloved friend finally managed to have her internet done. I miss her so much that we talked about everything under the sun and didn't realise that the time was moving so fast without waiting for us.. We chit-chatted until around 3am in the morning?? Hehe.

Mm, my previous post was about my birthday and i talked on how some people were just happily forget the significant day and stuff.. hehez. Now I got the explanations. I should understand that some of them became close to me just a few weeks ago and I should not expect too high of them remembering my birthday. Some of them were even don't know about it! Oh no. I'm soo selfish. Do I always think so negatively?>.<

Mm, today is the Cross-disciplinary Subject (CDS) registration date. Wanna know my choices? Hehez. I also do not know what to choose. A lot of the subjects are appealing to me and I was having a hard time choosing 5 of them. I feel like studying all... hehehez...

1. Freehand Drawing (Haha, I love sketching! =P Just that my sketchings are not really considered as good pieces of work.. That's why I need someone to teach me sketching skills! LOL)
2. Food Hygiene (Hehez.. this sounds interesting as it teaches us about food hygiene.. duh. You need to learn this to be a good house-wife! Lol.. You don't want your family to have food poisoning often rite?)
3. Leadership and Character (This is important to be a boss!! Hehez.. I mean, who wants to be a low-level worker?? Well, i dont wanna..)
4. Productivity and Service Quality (A marketing subject it is, I think it's a fundamental thing to learn if you want to explore on the service-based business...)
5. French (Mm, not really appealing but doesn't it sound cool to be able to speak one of the European Languages besides English?? I think learning French is kinda kool.. Haha. Mm actually I was thinking of a subject called Introduction to Project Management. But nagh.. That one can be gained through experience... Hahahahaha. So, it's French that won! *what lah*)

So these are my choices. I need not ask my parents about CDS. Okay, perhaps they can gimme advices but I want to learn something that is to my interest. Business IT was my dad's advice. At first I wanted to go to Interior Design course but my dad thinks that BIT is better in terms of career in the future. He also stated that Interior Design can be put as a hobby but BIT cannot. That was kinda true, to be honest.. So I followed his advice.. hehe..

Okay, I guess I'm done with typing. My friend, Zi Yan, wants to meet me soon. It has been such a long time since the last time we went out. Ok, I guess I better get ready.... =)

Morning people..! First of all, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to those who wished me happy birthday on the 11th of July ^^ I will treasure you guys.. Here are the list in a non-chronological order.

Ivan JL, Andrew, Regina, San-san, Zi Yan, Mia, Dedi, Terra, Kelly, Christina, Elvina, Cynthia, Vanessa, Xiwen, Crystal, Chien Zhi, Daryl, Jing Yi, Su Ling, Nurul, Ivan NB, Nigel, Rendi, Menny, Vanya, Erni, Angga, Andriani, Aprilia, Lestari, Hui Lei, Samuel JO, Ella, Citra, Eileena, Frans & fam.

-plz let me know if I miss you out...K? ^^ (Note: Wishes through MSN Messenger are not included)-

I feel like complaining but I'm afraid people that read my blog will fed up because of the complaining stuff. My previous 2 posts have been about complaints and I believe nobody would like to see another one. But I cant "tahan" liaoz... I feel like vomiting everything out here... I'm so sorry guys..

I feel very disappointed, sad, and at the same time, angry. Yesterday -ohh, its 30 mins ago- was my sweet 17th birthday. In Indonesia, 17 years of age is already considered as adults and girls will usually have blast celebrations. Because I live in Singapore and my acquaintances are divided by 2 countries (Singapore and Indonesia), I understand the situation that I cant have that kinda celebration. Well, I don't really mind as I am not the type of gal who likes to be in a party, to begin with. Besides, I had my term test just the week before my bday, and even on the day itself! So I prefer concentrating on school work to thinking of what type of party should I throw.

I already asked my 2 best friends, terra and chris, to eat out tomorrow, which was on my bday. Before I slept, I was hopping that tomorrow would be fun. Accounting paper was no worries to me. I believed that everything would turn out well and exciting! I imagined I would receive a lot of birthday testimonials from my friends. Just this and nothing more. Well, friendster has given them a hint! There is no reason for them to forget, unless they don't check the net so often. If they cant make it, at least they can send me an SMS? Well I dunno... Or gimme a call, perhaps?

Andrew's msg brightened my day. He was the first to wish me a happy birthday. Andrew wont forget over this little thing as he always remembers my birthday. I remember the last time he sent me a birthday present. I believe the present was so precious to him, that no insane would ever give such a thing away for a person whom he rarely meets. But he gave it, anyway. That was so nice of him. I went to sleep, starting with a prayer, of course..

the sun finally rose on the "happy" day. I went to the campus with a huge smile engraved on my face, ready to go for the accounting paper. 4 of my classmates (vanessa, chienzhi, xiwen, crystal) gave me a bracelet and a card.. So nice.. :) Thanks to the 4 of you ^^

then I went straight to meet chris and terra. Do some hang out stuff.. Nothing much, but I had so much fun! =)

aiya......... I dunno whether I should complaint here. I don't think the readers deserve another complaint... Briefly, I was angry and disappointed as a lot of my precious friends (friends that are precious to me, people that I think are fun to be with, people that I consider my close friends) forget about this. It may sound so childish but I mean it. it is alright for me if those people in MSN forget. But they are my close friends!!! I waited till 23:59, perhaps they would like to be the last to give me surprises. But they didn't. The thing is, those whom I did not really expect much to remember do remember!! I know I should not be too egoistic and selfish. There may be some situations whereby their phones are out of balance and none their family members wanted to lend them theirs, or perhaps their internet cannot be used.. Or whatever.. But it's not likely to have ALL of them experience the same thing at a same time in a very same particular day rite? Some of them DID go online, but they didn't even NOTICE my so-obvious-and-thick-skinned nick. Or they did notice but didn't even bother to instant message me to say hi?? Some of them put "away" sign.. But were they really that busy to say even a simple wish?? The story I give you now is not the worse... If I were a heartless person, I may even copy-paste some of their conversations.. Ok forget about elaborating. I am very, very disappointed with those people! >_<

whatever... im goin to bed. im sick. im not feelin well. i deserve the rest i need. readers, im sorry to let you read another complaint. I am not that kind of person, really. i do give thanks, lolx.. but these days were just not right. i am away from my God, the only source of joy. That is probably why i become like this. abnormal. childish. selfish.. you name it. sigh... What's wrong with meee???

It's the 2nd day of July.. Have been very busy these few days due to the arrival of my family and my 2 cousins.. haha.. Not only that, school is getting tougher and tougher since the term test is just around the corner.

I have my communication skills presentation comin up somewhere in July, and to add the stress on it, my topic is soo darn serious! It's about euthanasia, whether you agree or disagree, and something like that.. T_T I didn't really notice when I wrote that piece of essay that I am supposed to present that essay to the whole class, that was why I chose the topic..

Last Sunday, the bro of my tuition teacher was married. I went for his wedding reception and that was my first time attending a Chinese wedding dinner, with round tables all over the ballroom...yes, you may freak out with this fact.. -_-" Ok. The wedding receptions that I usually attend are the typical Indonesian ones, those buffet like.. Then again, during the dinner last Sunday, my chopsticks dropped. First a stick, then another one, which made exactly a pair.. Sigh.. I was so clumsy T_T.. So paiseh haha.. Furthermore, I felt quite uncomfortable, coz I ate with those people I didn't know in one table, which meant that I had to watch my manner.. LOL. U have to eat silently (no jingling of forks and spoons, where the direction of your spoon when you scoop your soup, and stuff like that..) oh C'mon.. Don't u feel pressurized when you have to eat so formally? Well, I do, to be honest... =P

Ok. Change topic. Yesterday was the submission date of our CMSY L1 Template. I didn't really care about this particular project because my group was like.. Err.. Can I say "look at me in one eye"? Especially da leader, the participation-mark-despo (PMD) as well as the computer's husband (coz I think he has married with a computer -_-"). What he thinks I am??? He pushed me further and further to the corner by asking questions I didn't know, makin me like a complete fool in front of all the group members! It's true that I am not really competent about computer and stuff.. But hey, I have my own special ability too!! And today, when Daryl (one of the group member) came up with a template, guess what did the PMD ask me to do? He gave me the template and asked me to draw something on it! Oh puhleasee!.. Give me yesterday lah, so at least I can draw your 'beloved' wife.. Duh! -_-" I cant draw when I am pressurized with time.. Give me today, what can I do? So I just did a typography, and guess what.. My hand started trembling. Told ya, I cant do anything when I am pressurized with time, especially regarding sketching and drawing. But fortunately enuff, my group was quite satisfied with the typography I did. Oh, I shouldn't say "my group" as that aloy didn't even bother to look at it. But anyway, Daryl and Chien Zhi were satisfied, and that's great enuf for me. I don't need the PMD to comment my work. Who is he to comment my typography? he doesn't even have the RIGHT to look at it! All my drawings are copyrighted, and it's within my permission to see them! LOL.

ok. stop talking about this crap and move on to a more exciting topic! are you ready??

TPIS is holding an international bazaar on the 22nd of July, and TP Indo Union is going to sell Indonesian food and snacks... so do drop by when you are around and make sure you buy something ok! Lol. sounds forceful but I don't care.. haha. another thing, there will be an international cultural nite on the 29th of July in the TP Auditorium. TP Indo Union is taking part and going to have an Indonesian halloween fashion show! WOW.. isnt that gonna be cool? So make sure you have yourself in the auditorium on the 29th of July nite okae? hehe.. peaceee... =)
