Valencia Oranges

Tired! September soon and it means due dates for assignments and presentations! Stat’s mid-sem is just over and there’s gonna be another paper on international business next week. PLUS…I forsee a twice a week meeting with different group mates on the upcoming presentations for international national business and Business Policy. And as if it’s not enough, I got to complete 2 online quizzes everyweek.

I used to think that online quiz are simple and easy but NO! Hell no. When you are doing it on the paper, at least you get partial marks when you make careless mistakes but online, the really smart computer(ya, too smart) can only recognise the exact answer that is expected and completely ignore the fact that you had just put in 100% effort on that particular question. It’s time like these that I wished for human interaction!

As you all can see, it’s gonna be busy busy me.

On another note, darlin’s parents, bro and sis in law had to postpone their trip due to some unforseen commitment. Darlin is really disappointed. I will too. Anyway, it might be a good idea to visit us in end November instead. At least by then, we are done with the exams!

Alright, time to sleep. Gosh, I’m getting old. *Yawnz*

I’m trying very very hard to get my lazy bum down to some serious work but I’ve to blame my dear buddy, Lifei! Was surfing her site and was practically hooked on Bae Yong Joon! And I carried on and on and on and on, reading his news and just looking at him (well, his pictures).

Bae is not particularly dashing(like some hollywood stars) nor was it super hunky like Arnold. YET, there is something in him that is able to captivate so many people! His smile..his megawatt smile! Ohhh… ok let’s drool!

I’ve shamelessly ripped these pics from http://www.byjtogether.com and did the collage myself.
Pls visit their website for more pictures!

Hmm.. Just downloaded this software from blogger. Seems that I can blog from my MS Word for now on. It will really be much easier for lazy me to blog.

Mid semester exams are just round the corner. First paper will be on Monday and hopefully I will do well in econometrics…blah..plain Statistics. Was trying to my bum down to serious work but I’m just too tempted by the internet the feeling of exploring (wasting my time) online. Had not done too well on the online quiz, kinda disappointed but I’ll get over it. I always believe that losing a few marks off the exam or quiz is better then getting a big discount from my boss next time, if I should commit any mistakes due to my incompetency in this subject. Couple of essay, report and presentations to be done over the next few weeks and I had not even read the question. I better start cracking.

On a separate note, darlin’s parents and 2nd brother’s and family will be coming over next week. It’s really nice to see relatives from Singapore I guess. It makes me miss my family more. Nevertheless. I persuaded darlin to change the date of our plane ticket. Hopefully we can secure an earlier flight back. I miss hugging my mummy! heee… Hey everyone’s a little girl and boy in their mum’s heart alright?!

Was out shopping with darlin this afternoon and I was in the queue to pay for my Loreal Happyderm moisturiser and Oil of Olay Intensive Skin Restoration treatment.

Darlin : Girls like to spend money on such stuff and are you sure they really works?
Me : Of cos they will!
Darlin : *gave me the are-you-sure look*
Me : You guys also buy alot of stuff for your car right? Remember the red-coloured fiuld that you bought that time? You said that it will clean the engine of the car. You sure that works?
Darlin : Of cos it does!
Me : See?! It the same thing.
Darlin : Hmm..Fair enough.
Me : *Parted happily with my $36.94* hee..

It’s such things in life that makes me happy. We should always pamper ourselves once in a while!

our kitchen

our living room (with darlin in the kitchen!)

my bedroom

Been trying out the Panorama feature in my phone.. It took me so long to realise that there’s such a feature! Gosh! Excuse the bad lighting tho’.

Nice dinner. Courtesy of darlin! Was feeling better after the hearty Bak Ku Teh! I reckon darlin should cook more often. Hee..

My darlin is so evil! I asked for socks to keep my feet warm. He couldn’t find a pair and so just handed me one.

Me : Darlin, plssss help me get my socks from my bedroom.
Darlin : OK. *Darlin shouted from the room*
Darlin : Dear, I can’t find the other sock. I can only find one.
Me : Hmm..then how?
Darlin : Aiya, never mind. You wear one first on one of the feet then when it’s warmed, you take it off and wear it on the other feet.
Me : Huh!
Darlin : HAHAHAHAH! Can right?! *Darlin gimme the smirk*
Me : !!!!! O.K.! Very clever.

Get what I mean?!!

I’m feeling extremely sinful! Darlin just cooked chicken rice and I had one and a half bowl of chicken rice. Gosh! That must have added up to 400++ calories.

It’s a “bad bad” for my tummy when darlin’s in charge in the kitchen! Yummy!

Was getting boring with the banner and decided to change it! Spent an hour experimenting with the colors and effects. I thought it looks more refreshing! What ya think?

Hmm.. should I change the color for my blog main as well? I love designing my own banners. Hee.

Been so long since I’ve posted anything. Was too lazy and wasn’t in mood for blog. Bleahz.. Just plain lazy. Been dreaming about family and friends lately. I must have missed them too much. 3 more months and I shall be back! Called mum today and she told me she will be going Taiwan with her friends in October! Was still hoping to go with her this year end but she thinks it will be more enjoyable to go with her friends! hahaha… Hey man..the world have changed. Shouldn’t it be the other way round?! Hmmm….! Anyway, before I forget happy 65th month to darlin and myself! hee…it had been so many months! Wow! Time flies!

Alright here’s something that darlin bought for me. I just have this thing for colorful round stuff! haha… A mousie pad from ikea and a notebook!

My darlin cooked a really nice meal of Fried Hokkien Mee! A pity we didn’t manage to take any pics cos we were both famished! I shall coax darlin into cooking another round and this time, with lotsa pics.

Thanks darlin!

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
Every year, at this day, I will tend to feel patriotic, more so then usual. Singapore had indeed came a long way since the day she became independent, emerging into one of the finest country in the world. Albeit small and having NO natural resources, we managed to survive for 40 years and still going strong. Most Singaporeans are well-travelled and I should say, pretty well-informed about what’s going on in the world nowdays. All thanks to the advances in technologies in Singapore. And of course, not forgetting, we must thank our MM Lee Kuan Yew. Without him, without Singapore.
In my opinion, many youngsters “like” to think “different” and think that they are acting cool and smart by making crude remark about the Singapore Government. Hey! What’s so bad about Singapore?! With a very stable and non-corrupted government, tho’ not much freedom of speech, I think it’s really worth appreciating! Try finding a country that is so diversified!
Alright, enough said! I LOVE SINGAPORE!

I tripped over my old computer table for the “dunno how many times” and there was once I cut my toes with the edge of the table. Hence, darlin said it’s time we get a new study desk for me.

This spacious new table is only $39 from Ikea. I love huge working space and it’s design is so simple and nice. I can even use it as a dining table. Heh! Ikea’s stuff it’s really nice but it’s always good to have a handy man around to help you fix your Ikea stuff! Thanks darlin! HUGZ!

Was even happier when I managed to sell off my old desk for $25 when I bought it for $30 one year ago!
