my last time staying up through the night to study for an exammy last time taking the ever-so-crowded-with-kiasu-and-sometimes-smelly undergradsmy last time sitting in an examination hallmy last exam paper taken in NTUto be happy or sad? oh well, guess it doesn't matter anymore now?

i have good heart, so says Raven

was chatting with Raven on MSN other night...about his recent career move as a result of his passion (even if it meant a huge pay cut). he shared career insights with me since i'll be joining the ranks of the unemployed pretty soon ...bleah

RaVeN: after 5 years of being sensible... and trying to work and also keep my passion part-time..I thought..what the HECK...

RaVeN: money is impt. but hard to find a job with money + passion.
RaVeN: choose watever job u want. juz make sure u know what u want. then don't regret.
RaVeN: u seem like the sort who will be happier if u do the things u like...
RaVeN: u like to complain abt needing money..but I think..u'll complain a lot more abt other things.

qix: u can just be direct - ie: i like to complain about everything :P:P

RaVeN: no lar. after so many years...i know u...a bit.
RaVeN: u like to complain only. but u're a very easy-going person.
RaVeN: and accomodating.
RaVeN: and caring..

qix: woaahhh....i super gan dong. ahem. albeit a little shameless, i agree with what u say.

RaVeN: u are lar. some ppl say all the right things, never complain, but they have evil heart.
RaVeN: u got a good heart.

qix: but too bad i say all the wrong things right?!...boo

somehow i felt supremely happy after the conversation. well, you know how at times...when you self-reflect on your behaviours and how you treat people and stuffs? then you don't really know if you're doing things the right way, if you have been treating people well?...it is times like these you need a pat on your back and someone to tell you that you are indeed a nice person. :)

yay! i have good heart, so says Raven!

SCUBA

the dives started during the boat ride from Mersing to Tioman...we started off by snorkelling first and i thought that was very already quite fun, that is until i tried the real scuba diving!by the way, i just found out that SCUBA is actually an acronym, it stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus and was invented by a French; Jacques Cousteau. hahaha check out my ugly hair :P ready to take the plunge! the underwater world is really awesome. looking at the marine life through an aquarium and actually being inside the ocean is such an entirely different experience. everything just slows down and it is so quiet. i felt like i was in another dimension. i felt like i could just leave all my troubles (my exams haha) behind on land... and plunge right into the water.finding nemo? i found nemo... and found other stuffs too...i was so lucky to spot a sea turtle swimming beside me! and i saw a damn big cuttlefish...but i felt a bit guilty lah cos my first reaction was: wah...i think it will taste damn good with sambal belacan sia... "_"evil sea urchins! they are like everywhere! and very dangerous too... i kept my eyes wide open just to make sure i don't kena poked by them. anyways, scuba diving, highly recommended for all. but one very, very important thing to take note. be sure to go with people you like, cos the company makes a great difference. afterall you spend most of the time on the boat interacting/chatting and you want to do that with people whom you can relate to :)

mai siao siao!

now, who says my ah siao is fat?! he is nothing compared to this cat at the coffeeshop downstairs! i think i must start carbo-loading ah siao...cannot lose to other cats lor! especially since ah siao is domesticated...how can he be slimmer than strays who are supposedly very pitiful and hungry all the time?

some updates about my exam revisions: I AM GOING SCUBA DIVING THIS WEEKEND! now...you should know how much work i have done, so stop asking me, my NTU mates!

but seriously, i cannot believe i am studying for my diving theory test instead of my GMS exam!! i take my hat off myself. i siao liao.

hi-life

today's lunch at hotel miramar's ikoi retaurant was good. went with two of my ex TP lecturers, we talked about going there forever. before they left school they actually told their colleagues that they have a lunch appointment to "build" alumni...of course the alumni in this case is Yours Truly. and being very hardworking and responsible workers, they hurried back to show face work after (a 3 hour) lunch. hahaha....
after lunch Mel picked me up and we went to this Boat Asia launch at One°15 Sentosa Cove... i have never been there before but cannot help thinking that it bears a resemblance to the waterfront in NZ! (except that NZ is nicer) Singapore is so copy cat lor.

anyways, this is where all the rich people park their yatchs. this particular med sized boat costs a whooping $150,000! this is excluding all the maintainence/ petrol/ parking fees hor.

Ling and her daughter was on this house boat and according to an ang moh, who was the owner of the 150 grand boat above... this house boat costs a few million...walau. the season parking for this house boat sure also very siong.
sigh...how i wish i have the money to buy all these...but seriously if i have the money i also won't buy it lah. haha...but have the money first. sian.
