i'm totally not motivated to study!!!!!!!

photocopied notes and loaned books from library. supposed to start mugging like 2 days ago, but dragged till now... no progress. i can't wait to study with jingting this weekend. somehow, i know studying with her will motivate me better than trying so hard to focus alone at home. starbucks starbucks here i come.

anyway, my group stimulated restaurant is the top profiting restaurant again! very proud of my group, glad we found out the 'trend' to success. next week will be the last operating quarter because Mr Kwok wanna extend another week. hope we will still sustain the position!

practiced opera with yumi and zhaoyuan today after lunch. totally freaked out when the routing function didn't work. then i realised i must route to another room first before i can post a charge. couldn't remember the 3 ways to pick-up rooms also. ai yah! tmr is the test already... ahhh. i doubt you guys know what i'm talking about, so... NEXT.

why am i always stuck with people with BO in the bus? i got so nauseous on my way home. what's with these people? they got a problem with bathing? imagine 50 mins smelling this sour, rotting piece of meat. wah lao. turn off ok! wanna take a nap on the bus but all thanks to the very 'refreshing' smell, i couldn't even sleep.

anyway, gonna watch a movie with mom tomorrow. hehehe. (see, another potential day to study BURN due to entertainment activity) spending time with family is more important right?

right.

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle (:

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

Slow it down
make it stop
or else my heart is going to pop
'cuz it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
to be something I'm not

I'm a fool
out of love
'cuz I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
in the sky
just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
and synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
they've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

oh oh
Just enjoy the show
oh oh

I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)

skipped dpd lecture today. my gastric pain is back to torture me again. i felt as tho someone stabbed me in the gastric while i was sleeping. woke up in pain at 7am, started sweating like a madwoman. was in so much pain until i vomited. omg. imagine the pathetic sight of me, running to the washroom, realising both dad and mom are preparing for work so both bathrooms are taken, and rushed to the kitchen to grab a plastic bag, sat on the floor and vomited. eww.

mom was asking me to see a doctor before she leave, but i don't even feel like standing up. went back to bed in pain and my mom said i'm very stubborn. hahaha. woke up at 10:00am and feel so much better. dpd lecture is at 11:00am so don't think i can make it on time.

will go for MICE lecture at 2pm though. cause it's revision lecture today and i am expecting like TIPS FOR EXAM. can't believe i will be taking my opera test at 6:30 ltr. you guys sure you don't want to remove this test from the component? what if it lags? really, no use going thru all this trouble....

okay, i shall go cook some porridge for myself now before i set off to school.


okay, i just called jingting to ask about the opera test. apparently, the lousy system was so laggy that the test time was extended for a class because the class couldn't finish the test. i heard they might have to retake the test in order to be fair to the cohort.

like, LOL. why can't they just remove the component and save us the headache? be flexible lahh...

anyway, had DPD presentation today and my group represented the international hotel chain. very very very very funny session because we're supposed to develop pulau ubin in view of our own hotel chain interest, but there are also other stakeholders such as government, developer and residents. so basically, everyone has to present their views on how the development should be in order to benefit themselves.

---

MY GRP: we'll have the longest cable car linking from esplanade to ubin, which serve as an attraction and a mode of transportation.

DEVELOPER: so the longest will also be the slowest lah?

MY GRP: yes, but it will be an iconic attraction. we do have other mode of transportation too if they are looking for sth faster.

DEVELOPER: is it feasible or not! so long you know. 17.9km leh!

MY GRP: everything is possible! i thought you said you have the expertise to do so!

DEVELOPER: oi, we are not adidas hor. (Impossible is Nothing)

---

DEVELOPER: we will build a causeway linking from nicole highway to pulau ubin.

MY GRP: so no fees incurred to use the road?

DEVELOPER: OH, government can put ERP if they want lor!

---

'GOVERNMENT': we will be introducing another casino in ubin...

DEVELOPER: SORRY HOR, i thought you guys said you won't build another casino in another 30 years time...

'GOVERNMENT': we have decided to make amendment to this policy because it will benefit the economy and allow us to reach the targeted visitor arrivals...

DEVELOPER: OHHH, TRUE, you all always right one...

in almost every restaurants in hong kong, they will usually serve you a brownish hot liquid after you have been seated down. at first, i almost drank the liquid. luckily dad stopped me and told me that it is used to sterilize my cutleries. first, pour the hot liquid in a big bowl, dump in your rice bowl, chopsticks, tea cup and spoon. after that, pour the liquid in your tea cup and drink it. HAHA. cause the brownish liquid it's tea! disgusting right! you drink what you use to wash. hahaha. was shocked initially but got over that part already.

fun day in school. gaming class as still as noisy and rowdy, i can spot some potential pathological gamblers in class.




Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


i swear i will go gaming lecture tomorrow at 9am. i swear!

anyway, i woke up at 11:50am today when my OPERA class starts at 12pm. can you believe it? omg. i was shocked to death. PLUS there was a mock test today! madness ok. ran down to cab to school and reached 40 mins later. the mock test was over by the time i reached sch. sucks man. and miss shanti marked me as absent! sighhs. i guess the saying 'better late than never' doesn't work in poly education. they should at least reward me for making the effort to rush down right. sighhs.

ah. lodging project due tomorrow. i'm soooo sick of it.

i swear i will wake up on time tomorrow and i will go gaming lecture tmr. i swear i swear i swear.


sometimes, i really wonder if true love is only really given by family members. they are the one who will give you the endless love you need.

this is written by my brother, in his blog. came across it, and was so touched by his actions. He may seem really cool, and act as though he didn't even care whether i'm in Sg or not, but he do care. (:

To Sis : Dude , i know you'll be reading this . Even if you don't i'll force you to.
Take extreme ultimate good care of yourself okay ? I know there's still 2 months before you go , but im afraid i'll forget . You know , there's alot more important stuff than you.
SO , lock your door properly , go back home early , dont go out when it's late , lock your windows , become best friend with the security , stop being so blur , dont show off your belongings . I know you prefer holding your purse and handphone instead of putting them in your bag.
STILL.
just take good care kay ?
i'll go over if possible , maybe , most likely , most probably .
and YOU PAY for the stuff i eat , and maybe 50% of the stuff i buy.
Alright ? That's a wonderful deal , fair .
(:

P.S The last 3 sentence is the main point of the "letter".


Your bro with a fucked brain
ZH (:

LOL. damn funny. love my group mates.


tiring day. i think i'm seriously lacking sleep. i need to find a day to skip school and sleep the whole day before i break down. my eyes are so swollen that even yumi said i should go freshen up. argh.

still left with my lodging project to rush tonight. taught yoko just now, glad that she finished my homework. but it's so annoying teaching her how to read time. argh. i'm so tired. finally got my tuition pay - i'm $60 richer so that's sth to be happy about. hahah...

i will miss all my friends so much. and i wanna thank Dr Aloysius Lee for believing in me and giving me the opportunity that i have been aiming for since young.

'Dr Lee, I will prove to you that you did not make the wrong decision of letting me go for the overseas internship. In fact, it would be one of the best decisions you have ever made (:'



loves.


i got a terrible day.

first, the dumb flight took so long to take off, so I reached Singapore like super late. dad and i were like saying 'is the pilot like reading his flying manual now?'. got to rush to DFS to help Mr Lee Zhao Yuan to buy his beloved Baileys after reaching Sg Airport. luckily, dad parked his car in the airport so we don't have to queue for taxi otherwise i am so going to scream.

reached home around 1am. i was yelling my head off in dad's car on our way back cause i was so tired. and dad was laughing. i don't know why. haha. and he was telling me about driving skills and all, what reflex and reaction bah bah. kinda cool but i was too tired to focus.

packed my stuffs, bathed and all those random nonsense, so i slept at 3:30am. GUESS WHAT TIME I NEED TO WAKE UP. 6am! totally madness ok. so of course, miss-sleepy-head overslept. so my best friend decided to come drive me to school - TAXI.

hahahah. madness ok. because of the bloody jam, all thanks to the rain, you wouldn't be able to believe how EXPENSIVE the cab fare is. i shall not announce here. still, i was 45 mins late so i didn't have time to reherse with my group on the gaming presentation. i did it impromptu and guess what, it sucks. i totally don't know what i'm saying and i was like in half asleep mode already lor.

Dr Aloysius Lee asked me some Qs about long term and short term gaming law or rules thingy, and i couldn't answer him. sucks man. bad impression! i tried to crap something out to smoke it over and he asked me if i know what i'm saying.

of course i'm not! i only got 3 hours of sleep!

but overall we did okay lah, he looked pretty impressive with our extensive research.

then i waited alone for hours for my MICE interview test. decided to take a nap in school library. i guess my sleeping posture must be really ugly cause it was really a deep deep nap. my interview was okay. nth much to say.

just when you thought my day ended in a nice and heartwarming way, NO.

i travelled all alone to Lavender to the ICA building to collect my new passport. I'm SO GLAD they approved my very-china-looking photo because it was stated that the background must be white. but i was too lazy to queue for the photo taking nonsense so i decided to use my formal corporate picture taken in school last year with grey background. SO GLAD at least they are flexible. thank god.

so you think i went home after that?

NO.

i rushed to causeway point to zap my passport then went to civic centre post office to send my visa application forms, certificates, resume, photo, testimonials bah bah bah to hong kong so that four seasons can process my visa. what the hell. you know how long i waited for the stupid courier service? 40 minutes! hell long time. and i almost vomited blood when the very rude lady told me it's $25 to send a few pieces of paper to hong kong! WHAT?! so i asked her if it will be delivered by tomorrow because it's really urgent and she gave me that roll-my-eye expression and said 'not possible ok.'.

OKAY, SO WHEN?

*SIGH OUT LOUD* 'i think 2 working days.'

ok lor. what more can i say. i used the most expensive DHL express services, and she gave me that attitude. and take note, she used the word 'think' despite the fact that i kept stressing that it's damn damn damn urgent and important and it's life and death matter. stupid post office.

and she gave me a form with many weird details, and i was totally lost. i don't know what to fill up. so i just randomly picked some to fill up. then that same lady said sth dumb about the receiver's address i wrote.

'8 finance street, central, hong kong, china. So it's hong kong or china?'

'huh? it's both what. the smaller scale first, followed by the broader scale.'

'no no, can only choose one.'

'BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TWO!'

'no no, then send to china or hong kong? must choose one'

wah lao. when you write a letter to 'Blk 123, Woodlands Street 11, #111-111, Singapore 730123', will people question you like 'is it Woodlands or Singapore? must choose only one'

dumb right. so i just randomly picked one and said hong kong. whatever lah. she don't even know hong kong is under china! *pull hairs*

so, after the whole chain of annoying happenings, i decided to relax abit. bought mocha frap at Starbucks and sat there alone for 15 mins to finish my coffee.

ahhh, and after that cup of coffee, i was feeling so much better.

but something screwed up again. i waited 40 mins for Bus 912, and finally when it was here, i can't board at all! it was so packed. *scream my head off*

can you believe it! me in heels and formal wear, damn hot, damn tired, and have to go through all this shit.

so, my best friend came to my rescue again. i cabbed home.

hahaha.

i need a car seriously.

bye.

hope tmr will be a better day.


HEY!
GREETINGS LOVELIES!!!
MISSES.

and woah!
shuhan, you pro.

time flew, i guess we grew=D

LOVES,
qiuling.


i'm in hong kong now! (:

had a hard time trying to log on to the internet. but finally!

good news anyway. i found a PERFECTTT apartment with a beautiful and wonderful and friendly lady who is my mom's friend's friend's sis's friend.

HAHAH. complicated i know. but still, it's perfect! it's at north point, located in hong kong island itself (damn good, no need spend so much on transport since four seasons hotel is also on hong kong island!), and MOST OF ALL, it's on a hill top ok! wah lao. i'm so lucky ok! plus plus plus, on top of a hill top, we live in 17 storey so it's like hill top plus 'hill top'. ahhhh!

the air is free, the house is pretty (cause the lady called joan is a designer so her house is like... wohhh. so cute!)

the view is nice toooooo. and the PRICE is like half of serviced apartment but 8 times bigger! i got my own room! and we got a living room with TV and sofa!

wah lao. i know you guys will think like 'what's the big deal with TV and sofa and own room?' but hey. it's a HUGE deal in hong kong ok! you know how small hong kong apartment is or not! and damn ex for a small room ok! but i got it so cheaply and ahhh! i love it. and plus she got a piano in the house! OMG.

ok, i am really happy. cause the apartment is beside 2 shopping malls, namely Fit Fort and Island House. crazily perfect. and opp of the apartment is a library, polyclinic, supermarket, bus interchange. but still, the apartment is very quiet cause it's facing another hill. and there is 24 hour security, with private buzzer. omg. like a condo!

and joan is so NICE. ahhh! she said she can give me her study table which is new cause she seldom use it. save so much on furniture! joan has been staying in hong kong for 7 and a half years already, around 28 to 29 years old. she used to study in US, she's a christian, very kind lady!

i'm coming back tmr night! then i will post pictures. now too lag to do anything. annoying.

loves!


i'm still coughing!

shoo virus shoo.

anyway, i'll be flying to hong kong this friday to sunday with my daddy to settle my accommodation issues and banking issues. hope i can find a clean and safe place to stay for my 5 mths internship. pray pray pray. chankai bought me a HP mini laptop! so i can bring it with me too! (:

oh, i'm damn proud of my group. our restaurant is actually one of the top profiting establishment! i can't believe man. hope we can still maintain this standard. even with the highest food cost, our sales is like DAMN good ok. we're earning alot!

i hope hong kong can be cold. like super cold. cause i wanna be a polar bear.

ahhhh. still doing my gaming stuff. hope everything can be done by tmr and i can fly in peace. i can't believe i have to bring my MICE notes with me to study on the plane. i got MICE interview on monday afternoon! i will be like so tired cause i will be taking a night plane back to singapore on sunday. not to forget i got gaming presentation on monday morning. and i got no time to practice with my team. ahhh!

what the hell. what all bad things love to come at one time. can't they just let me take it one at a time, fairer right...

traveled to lavender today to renew my passport cause i realised my passport will expire before 25th Jan 2009, which is the last day of my internship. i spent an OMG sum of $70 on my new passport.

pray for me to get well soon. i hate coughing.

i love cao ge's songs.


skipped school today cause i was feeling really lethargic and sick. coughing really badly the entire night and didn't even have a proper sleep. my runny nose is like tap water now... poor me. and I find it difficult to feel motivated to travel to tampines just for a F&B tutorial. 2 hours tutorial. ai yah, my timetable sucks.

had to walk out 3 times in a 2 hour lecture yesterday cause i can't stop coughing. so freaking embarrassing; like a nuisance in a quiet lecture hall. aiyoooo. had to spend a few bucks at TP Cheers to buy Robitussin sweets, hoping it would stop me from coughing. TOTALLY no help, i tell you. in fact, the smell of the sweet is so strong and i looked like a weirdo eating disgusting sweets. wah lao. i felt like a walking virus yesterday.

so the walking virus decided to stay at home today.

don't know why i feel very old school today. hahaha. decided to listen to some songs by westlife. super old cannn. must be patrick lah, spread her love for westlife to me. hahaha.

I lay my love on you
It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe, I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

ahhh.

started to visualize my days alone in hong kong for 5 months. staying alone in a foreign environment is kinda sad. but no, i must be strong and positive because it's a good investment for my future career path. you can do it, shuhan! four seasons hotel, here i come! <3


FOUR SEASONS ACCEPTED ME!

I'LL BE GOING TO HONG KONG FOR MY INTERNSHIP ON SEPTEMBER!

5 MONTHS IN HONG KONG, HERE I COME!

*roll around the blog*

share my joy, share my joy.
