I just cant be indoors on a semi-glorious ( it did rained a little) Saturday. The smell of sea salt in the air, the cool breeze and liberation! For an hour, time wasnt my enemy.
Thats right, i went cycling at ECP with Nasa.

| You Should Learn Chinese |
Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.
You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you! |
Oh my goodness. I am so screwed. Classic case of not-taking-Mandarin-classes-seriously karma.
How do you say " Would you like fries with that?" in mandarin?

To play the game, you have to be a bastard and push it to full force.
Are you a game player or have you been played by the game?

Small gestures are just as good, if not better.
Just by offering could provide someone with a glimmer of hope. It could make an increasingly hopeless situation seem ..... well..... not so hopeless.

Nothing bout' love makes sense- LeAnn Rimes
Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky
Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me.
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out.
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how.
The way that we dance, the reason we dream
That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense.
(Instrumental)
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out.
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how.
Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand
A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense
No no no, oh it don't make sense.

Somebody Told Me- The Killers
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around
Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

You could always count on the rain to ruin any plans on a Saturday night.
Recently, i find myself using the classic excuse of " Im a Leo. Im supposed to be *whatever way i am*" more often than usual. Yes, it sounds very lame indeed. Someone told me before that relying on horoscope was a desperate attempt to find some direction. i guess im quite lost at this junction.
Somehow my life just seems to get more complicated by the minute (damn palms). I am sorry that i have no idea what to do. I am also sorry that i dont have an answer for you or the one you might prefer. I am clueless when it comes to situations like this. Thanks for letting me know though. I am really flattered.
Ok focus on exams. Thats what i will do.
Looking forward to paintball tomorrow. Are you ready for WAR?

Its easier with lyrics.
Sleeps with butterflies- Tori Amos
airplanes
take you away again
are you flying above where we live
then i look up, a glare in my eyes
are you having regrets about last night
i'm not, but i like rivers that
rush in
so then i dove in
is there trouble ahead for you, the acrobat
i won't push you, unless you have a net
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold on to the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly then, boy
balloons look good from on the ground
i fear with pins and needles around
we may fall then stumble upon a carousel
it could take us anywhere
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold on to the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss her, waiting by this girl
this girl
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly boy

I have been shopping and eating junk food alot. My studying plan is slowly coming together. It could be done better but i feel like a lone ship out in the sea at times. Everyone will be done with their exams before i am done with mine. They will graduate and start another phase of their lives. Me? I am not too sure if im able to earn enough credits to graduate.
Not able to graduate in time means that i will incur the opportunity cost of potential income. I am already in debt ( for the tertiary and uni education). I wanna start earning my keep as all the things that i am planning to do involve money. Money, money, money, the root of all things evil.
Digressing, i have no idea that i am an extremist until today. After the drastic words came out of my mouth, i was shocked by the harshness of it. Oh well, im not going to fret until it really happens.
Sleep.

Thunder tea rice. An uncommon ( because i didnt see it around at all) Hakka dish. It is rice with different types of diced vegetables and roasted peanuts, served with a bowl of soup brewed with green tea paste (i think). I had a taste of it today. Wasnt bad at all ( for me because im a sucker for health food).
However, from what i have heard, not many folks like it. It isnt hard to figure out why. Try saying out loud the name of the dish in Hokkien. It sounds almost vulgar. Then again, most words in Hokkien sounds vulgar ( ask my brother). But why the name? Am i missing out on Thunder bird chicken rice or something?

The ingredients that the stall had provided are indeed good. All the ingredients used are essential to our immune system, especially it helps in detoxification of our body. Not only that, it do helps in our diet as the food are all in vegetables. The Ngai, which is very good for woman as it helps to strength our body, especially mothers after giving birth. It is really good food and affordable as well. For those suffering from constipation, I would strongly recommend it. I can enjoy the good food without paying high price.

Initially when I look at the Thunder Tea that serve at the stall, I hesitate when I look at the colour, but after trying it several times, the thunder tea is a very good food with all the natural ingredients used without any flavourings. The food really helps in my diet as it is a truly "Slimming tea" and it is affordable as well. I do not have to pay to go slimming centre now. Taking the food daily help in my figure. Two thumbs up for the food. For all ladies looking for a slim figure without any physical and mental suffering, I would recommend to take this food regularly.
I realised that i have an untapped cash cow that will appeal to our slimming crazed society. The " sit on your butt all day, no need to exercise but still lose weight" mentality . Truly, Uniquely Singapore.

I am insanely addicted to this song for now. How fitting.
Faith Hill- Let me let go
I thought it was over, baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Goin' through my mind
In fact, not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all of the time
Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go
I talked to you the other day
Looks like you made your escape
You put us behind, no matter how hard I try
I can't do the same
Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know, yeah
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go
The lights of this strange city are shinin'
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side, baby
But everywhere I look
Everywhere I turn
You're all I see
Let me, let me let go, baby, won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road
Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah, you're still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go

Study. I have never been good at it. Never taken to it like a fish to water. Contemplating on burning my books into ashes and drink it with water just like my friend recommended. Ha ha. He thinks that this is a fantastic way to store knowledge. But what happens when the digested goes swirling down the toilet bowl? LOL
I am tired.
Me: I was reading his emails and felt nostalgic.
Her: You always feel nostalgic reading his emails.
Really? I never thought of that. What can i do? I am just a hopeless sentimental fool.
Sorry for the outings i couldnt make it to. I will improve on my time management skills and take tons of tea.

Sometimes, i wish i know how to play the games too. Maybe in the midst of all complexities, things are actually simpler and easier to fathom, for others. Never for me.
Of course, many would refer that as setting myself up for failures.
Ah.. what doesnt kill me will make me stronger. That, i believe.
It is nothing but a vicious cycle isnt it.

The Five Love Languages
My primary love languages are probably
Acts of Service and
Quality Time.
Complete set of results

| Words of Affirmation: |

| Physical Touch: |

| Receiving Gifts: |

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
Take the quiz
