Peeve #1: Don't attempt to call me by my chinese name if you do not know me well enough. Its reserved for those whom I love and who loves me.
Peeve #2: Lazy people who can't be bothered to type out phrases. I'm okie with shortform of words because a few letters difference still allows me to decipher the word but phrases... Its freaking irritating. Does it take so much to type it all out? With the time saved, can you do something really outstanding?
Peeve #3: Msn. If you want to talk to me, please be present. I hate it when there are multiple typos and when I carry out the whole conversation. Please it is called a conversation and not a Q&A session for a reason. Its particularly irritating when the typos do not make sense at all.
Peeve #4: "Chill" and "relax" used by GUYS to dismiss any ill feelings directed at them from GIRLS. Can't you understand that we are worked up, and if we have a reason to be worked up, stop adding fuel to the fire and dismiss what we have to say. Its plain RUDE.
No way is this the end of my pet peeves. Just those on the top of my head right now.
Urgh. Someone started me off on this.
I'm really in a lousy mood today.

I don't know why my blog entries always end up so long. =S
Will you unmask yourself and show me that lovely smile I'm sure you have on underneath that faceless facade? Even my dreams are playing with me.
Will you unmask yourself and show me that lovely smile I'm sure you have on underneath that faceless facade? Even my dreams are playing with me.
I've decided to blog a little before i head off to dreamland.
A while ago, I just went for a flu jab. I've been constantly having them for quite a few years now. I think probably for 5-6 years. The first time I went for one, I remember being apprehensive about the effects and possible benefits I would get but I have to say, I never did once regret these jabs. It would be too much of a stretch to say that the flu jabs prevented me from ever falling ill. Yet I think it is within reason to say that they have kept me flu-free most of the time. Nowadays I get bitten by the flu bug maybe twice a year. Pretty impressive considering I used to fall sick every other month. For $30 I think it is really worth it. I HATE having flu, especially runny rose. Urgh. Huge pain to have to keep stopping the flow or to keep looking out for dustbins to get rid of all the disgusting mucus-full tissue papers. =S
Hmm talking about JABS. I had a couple of jabs for an entirely different reason a couple of months ago. Cervarix, it is called. I took them because dad said that they would help prevent cervical cancer. Incidentally, I had picked up a brochure from school which was about cervical cancer. I learnt then that it is one of the BIG KILLERS. 5th most common cancer in Singapore (HPB), with the Chinese having the highest incidence rate. I've always feared contracting cancer and the likes of terminal diseases so I thought, "Why not?", prevention is better than cure.
Cerarix is best administered when you are 16 and above, and sexually naive. (I'm sure you know what that means...). It is given in 3 separate dosages. The second one is one month after the first jab while the third follows 6 months after the 2nd. After these 3 dosages, the effects are said to last for life.
I've had 2 jabs since. I can't say that I'm looking forward to the last one. The jabs, I won't lie, are the worst I've ever had. Taking into account the fact that I have had a fair amount of needles poked into me through the years, including and not restricting to the flu jabs, Hep B jabs and even an IV drip, you can imagine my pain. I could be an isolated case though. I asked my doctor about the pain and numbness. She said that individuals react differently to the drug. I'm one of those who feel soreness and numbness and even pain. She told me however that BCG is still the worst (I've never had it so I can't tell you), followed by Hep B(which wasn't bad for me. weird) then probably Cerarix.
Well, the first time I had Cerarix, I took it on my left forearm. The needle went in fine. When the doctor started applying pressure to the syringe to inject the solution into my muscle, ah that's when the soreness starts. I thought nothing of it, attributing it to the fact that my muscles are not used to the drug. I waved off doctor's concerned suggestions of a cream to relief the soreness and went home. Oh, that night was horrible. It wasn't so much painful as it was a hindrance to my sleep. I could hardly lie on my arm and I was forced to sleep on my back, wincing each time I forgot about my tender arm and placed my body weight on it. Terrible. It lasted for 2 days, easing off only on the 3rd day. Awful.
One month later, I was once again sitting in my doctor's waiting room, awaiting my 2nd dosage. This time I was a little smarter. I requested for the injection to be administered to my butt region. Because there is more flesh there, it usually hurts much less. After ensuring that I was in a comfortable position, doctor asked me to relax and, there goes my 2nd dosage. Urgh. I still don't like it all that much. This time around, I could still feel the soreness but at least it wasn't as pronounced as the last time. I had problems sitting properly for a while though, being unable to apply my whole body weight to the injection spot. I basically sat on one butt cheek. My back hurts from that position. Compared to the previous time, it was a little less discomfort but still quite uncomfortable.
Its worth it though. Its pricey treatment, $140 a jab but, at least I would be insured against cervical cancer (for the most part). My last jab... is in 5 months time. I opt for the butt again. Poor butt, I'm sorry you have to suffer, but I'd rather you than left forearm. =x
Consider those 2 jabs (if you are a female of course!) and the flu one (if you are a guy). I strongly recommend!! =)
No I'm not a sadist, I do not have a morbid liking of needles.

My 2208 design module is DONE and OVER and OUT OF MY LIFE.
The fruits of my labour is up on THIS website.
Take a look if you are interested. I can't say that i'm a professional designer but I have to say that for the amount of work that I have put in, I stand by every single piece of work that I have done.

I absolutely love days out with my lovelies. =)
Estella joined us today and it was great seeing her again. Took the above neoprints and pictures much to Jiesheng's distress. HAHA. poor thing has to endure our girly-ness every single time. I secretly think that it is great training for him... in the future. He better thank us. hahahaha.
Anyway, Happy Birthday JOJO. Hope that you've enjoyed urself a whole lot today. The japanese food and the after dinner coffee and the chat. =)I know you read this.

OH and before I clean forget,
I NO LONGER HAVE TO PUT UP A P-PLATE WHEN I DRIVE. =)
Yes. Its been a year (and 2 days). =))
GOOD RIDDANCE!
*With a heave and ho and a mighty shove, throw it out of the window*
Interesting fact: It might be incredulous to note that I never did own one of those.

WONDERFUL NEWS!
MY STORYBOOK IS DONE AND PRINTED TODAY.
No more late nights over it anymore!!!
Now i can concentrate on the rest of my mods. I badly need to study. Speaking of which, I have an english test tomorrow. Haiz... Who ever knew that english came with PHILOSOPHY mixed in it. But its pretty cool all the same. Hands up for those who also believe that we are born with the innate endowment of language. Awesome, you can join Socrates in his Plato world and be part of his problem. (Plato Problem- "poverty of stimulus") Interested much?
On a very random note, I realise I like writing on blank paper more than lined paper. I like the freedom of doodling anywhere I like without being regulated by lines. Is this some personality test? If so, I wonder what it reflects about me.
Just a thought that I wanted to jot down.
In this climate of stress, much unhappiness and nastiness has been breeding. Group projects are great breeding ground and group discussions are when it becomes a full blown epidemic. Lets just say that I am not happy with the way certain people are handling group discussions. They are called discussions for a reason. Ideas have to be thrown around and evaluated.
I do not take kindly to the manner in which you put forth your argument. Should you think that you are the only one who is right, please stand up and say so. I'm sick of looking at that face and pretending to be pleasant when all I want to do is stand up and leave so that I will be spared your shit. In any case, you should stop being so defensive and aggressive. I'm starting to think that you are just downright rude.
I would be so glad when this sem is over. I want to do well so badly. I want my CAP. And I'm reaching out for it with outstretched arms. After that I just want to go on a retreat and start anew when I return. Here's to 3rd Dec, the last day of exams.

Coughcoughcough. I hate coughing fits. =( I really hope i dont get bronchitis again. I was so paranoid I went straight to the doctor when I came home today. Inflammation again! I swear I'm allergic to Ramly burger and anything resembling it. Supper gone wrong. =(
Anyway, that's not the main point! I'm here to announce the wonderful news that Starbucks is <3, their toffee nut latte is the BEST. Or Boomz! (include hand action!) if you like. Its the nicest coffee I've had. I don't know how I survive on Java Chips when such awesome drink exists. Too bad it is only offered during christmas if not that would be my standard order. I love it hot. Unusual choice for me, the frap person. =) I'm so going to have it as much as I can. UNHEALTHY. hahahaha. I was just sitting on the train today planning my route to school in order to get my cuppa love but I realise its practically impossible. Seems like there is no way I can grab a cup, savour it sip by sip then get to school. Not when I need more sleep than I need any breverage to keep me awake. =X Irony indeed. Looks like I've got to get it after school! Starbucks, you'll see more of me! I hope they will open a new branch in Pasir Ris soon. *cross fingers*
Update about school...
Its almost the end of the semester already and yet I'm still neck deep in assignments and projects and DEADlines. I've got 7 more submissions+projects deadline to meet. Hurray. And there is only 2 more weeks of school. Can you believe that I've got an assignment paper due on the very last day of my exams? Unfathomed nightmare. =( This sem has been a super P.I.T.A (pain in the ass).
If I can survive through this sem, I think I can take on the rest of the sems. Though sometimes, everything just gets so overwhelming that I can't help but wish that there was a steady shoulder for me to lean on. For now, the wall is a substitute, a poor one though. Talking about that, I practically have no social life. My phone is dead, it only rings/vibrates when either of my parents are looking for me, if not, PROJECTS and WORK being handed to me. Pathetic. On msn, I am usually busy or away, having too much on hand to be a conversationalist of any sort. I just have no mood. I just can't wait for 13thNov to come and go, by then, I would be 3/4 done with my assignments.
100% CA mod is a killer. I can't believe that I broke down and opened the flood gates that night. Thanks to you for listening to me blabber nonsense on the phone, hearing me cry, saying those encouraging words, comforting me and helping me find solutions to the whole myraid of problems that I was facing. I need more people like you in my life. Thanks so much, you know who you are, standing by me. You listened to me for an hr. Half the time crying. Sniff. Grateful. (I dont think you'll ever read this though, but I know you know my sentiments. I've always made them clear. =D)
That's all. Time for beauty sleep and recovery time. I'm so glad none of my presentations fall on this week, with my bad throat and red eyes from lack of sleep.
Tata.

Though sometimes, everything just gets so overwhelming that I can't help but wish that there was a steady shoulder for me to lean on. For now, the wall is a substitute, a poor one though. Talking about that, I practically have no social life. My phone is dead, it only rings/vibrates when either of my parents are looking for me, if not, PROJECTS and WORK being handed to me. Pathetic. On msn, I am usually busy or away, having too much on hand to be a conversationalist of any sort. I just have no mood. I just can't wait for 13thNov to come and go, by then, I would be 3/4 done with my assignments.
100% CA mod is a killer. I can't believe that I broke down and opened the flood gates that night. Thanks to you for listening to me blabber nonsense on the phone, hearing me cry, saying those encouraging words, comforting me and helping me find solutions to the whole myraid of problems that I was facing. I need more people like you in my life. Thanks so much, you know who you are, standing by me. You listened to me for an hr. Half the time crying. Sniff. Grateful. (I dont think you'll ever read this though, but I know you know my sentiments. I've always made them clear. =D)
That's all. Time for beauty sleep and recovery time. I'm so glad none of my presentations fall on this week, with my bad throat and red eyes from lack of sleep.
Tata.
