Dreaming (still) ...

Saved my sister article online, because the article will only be archive for 1 week on The New Paper site... http://www.angelfire.com/un/zeathereal/ . She said the article does help to a certain extent, but definitely not much, from what i can see when i went down to bring her home-cooked dinner from mum on saturday, and to help out for a while... Think the rent is too expensive. It is a crucial factor. Think sales wise, its looks reasonable. I mean if it is elsewhere, definitely will make profit liao, from the amount of sales...

My IBS occurence for the past few months were very low. However today, it gave me quite some problems. As usual, i went for my weekly soccer session at Pasir Ris. However, on my way there, the problem occur again, and I have to find a toilet, which proved a problem for me. Finally i managed to found one, and there was blood again in my stool. Drats, hope it is nothing serious......

Was absolutely exhausted today... Din want to play initially, since not feeling well liao, and i thought it was quite dangerous to exercise when you have diarrhoea. However din want to make a wasted trip, so just played. And all the way till 1 plus in the afternoon. That's 4 hrs plus of football + sunburnt... My legs so sore now, tmr sure will have problem walking.

Sprained my ankle, without twisting it. It just happen, quite early in the game, after i had jumped for a header, and when i land, i felt the pain. slight pain, but i continued to play, and i realised at the end that it had worsened. Not affecting my normal movement but i can felt it when i climb up/down the stairs or when i jump/land. Wonder what happen... Hope i can recover in time for this sat ippt... Shit, that means likely i can't do a final training run before the IPPT. Hope can get silver...

French lectures (we only have small group lectures at tutorial rooms) nowadays are like marketplace. Very noisy. Even i am enjoying myself more during lectures. The teacher especially, she is very cute and always have candid expressions and reactions to our mistakes, our response etc. And me and SW always fool around by saying 'je ne suis pas ici' when she called our names during attendance taking. It means 'I am not here'. That said, she is one of the most direct teachers i have ever seen in University. If she is not happy, she will say or show it out directly, and not afraid of offending anyone. Including her sometimes sacarstic remarks. For more information about her, can check out the link below: www.sleepysnail.blogspot.com

Today there was a conversation role play where we have to come up with a conversation and act it out, based on a detective scene, in groups of 3s. As usual i kena arrowed by my group to be the detective. Was very tired today, after exhausting myself studying for the anatomy test, and then the french test today, and then the practice conversation component of bahasa indonesia. Was very drained but nevertheless tried to put up a good performance for the class. Somehow, things got messed up, with the class highly amused by my incoherent speech. And then Shaowei, who laughed really hard, which leads to me laughing and forgetting my lines and kept repeating 'Alors' which only made the class laughed even harder. If I were a comedian, I would be very happy to see such a response. But i pretty neutral about the situation, not too embarassed or what (because i had laughed a lot too...). However, when the thing was over, the teacher seemed a bit displeased with our efforts.

Thus I was trying to write an email to my French lecturer just now, with my friend, SW. The content is as below:

À: Mademoiselle Sylvie
De: DDSVP Club

Désolée

Dear
Ms Sylvie,

We would like to clarify what happened just now. We prepared for the conversation but each of us wrote our part down on his own paper. So that was why the paper you saw was incomplete. Moreover, due to some unknown reasons, everyone kept laughing when Shwei Lin said 'Alors'. Shaowei was affected by the laugher and couldn't stop laughing too. Eventually Shwei Lin forgot his lines, and the whole conversation seemed like a mess!

Hope you are not too angry because of that.

A Bientôt,

Shao Wei
Shwei Lin

Actually, dunno whether should take French 2 or not, since now she told us she won't be teaching.

Anyway was really naseous and giddy just now, after fetching young bhante back to BL from meditation course. HAving an attitude taxi driver doesn't help. When i reach home at close to 10, i din have the appetite for dinner. :(

Backlog of wedding dinner on tuesday:
Lena's wedding photos were terrific. She looks really good! and Mr Guagua too. Glad to be of some help in their wedding, as the registration counter. Always felt honored when being invited to weddings, minus the angpow part. Anyway met my primary school classmate, Sijia, with the shanyou gang (fenny they all). Couldn't believe it. Such a small world. Le monde est petit! Or maybe, such a small country... Must asked Lena or Fenny when she joined Shanyou. How come never see her b4 when I went there. Have not seen her since primary school!

The world is small

Monday, after my last lesson of the day, Bahasa Indonesia kelas TA, Cindy told me she will be eating outside. Strange, cos usually i will be the one asking her to accompany me. And now my mum is cooking (back from her work) and Cindy mum is not cooking (cos her mum thought she's taking eight precepts that day). Anyway, so i plan to accompany her to fong seng to eat. On our way, i saw two familiar face trying to do french homework together. So i jio them along to eat. And of course introduce Cindy to them. After some pretty mundane conversation, suddenly the topic of our CCA, BS, was brought into the Buddhism, and we managed to share quite a bit with them. Especially Cindy, whom give a pretty detailed explanation on the Five Precepts. A pity though, I did not touch on the foundamental teachings of Four Noble Truth and Eigthfold Path. However, coincidentally, cindy brought along one of her favorite book to read that day, and so, pass it on to SW, for him to read. Though i doubt he will have the time to do so...

Tuesday, while me and SW are on our way from science to Arts for our consultation with our tutor, someone looking bright and cheery came up. It was Gillian. Having a week of break sure perks her up.Anyway she also knew SW. And Liling, who was with her, too... Hmmm, it is a small world...

Did not touch Bahasa at all. Now i shall see how to pass a test w/o any preparation at all... Hmmm...... My design project are draining me. Chem Eng are so competitive and kiasu. Everyone is doing work which 'spoil market' such that it is a necessity to spoil market liao... One project done. Yet another coming up. Sianz

Premier, mon logement idéal devrait être très grand. Il y aura un grand jardin et au tour de jardin, il y a beaucoup d’arbres et fleurs. Il y aura une grande piscine. Il y aura une piscine de station thermale à la maison et il y aura de belles peintures sur les murs. Mon la salle de séjour devrait être chaude et confortable. Ma chambre devrait aussi être belle et grande. Ma maison devrait être à côté de la mer aussi.

Tulis sehelai karangan sebanyak 120 kata dengan : kira kira, acara, dari ...... ke ......, harga, sebenarnya ......., tetapi......., ukuran, warna

Olahraga favorit saya adalah sepak bola. Saya senang bermain sepak bola sekali. Setiap Minggu saya akan bermain sepak bola dengan teman saya. Dari rumah saya di Paya Lebar, saya akan naik bis ke Pasir Ris. Pasir Ris ada jauh sekali dari rumah saya, kira kira 45 menit naik bis. Saya juga senang menonton jepang animations. Satu CD animations berharga lima belas ringgit. Tetapi Channel Central sering memperlihatkan animations pada hari kerja malam. Saya juga menonton yang ini. Sebenarnya saya mesti melakukan meditasi sehari-hari tetapi saya punya banyak pekerjaan rumah sehari-hari. Saya selalu tidak ada waktu untuk melakukan meditasi. Tetapi saya senang melakukan meditasi. Biru ada warna favorit saya. Saya punya satu sepatu biru dan banyak baju kaos biru. Saya memakai ukuran-L baju kaos dan ukuran sepuluh sepatu.

Oh no, don't know how to use "acara" so din use in my essay. A rough translation: I like to play soccer, watch animations and do meditation. I like blue colour. I wear size L t-shirts and size 10 shoes.

Had a tiring day in school today. Tiring in terms of project, cos dunno what to do, so just stare at teammates do working very hard to solve the problem. I hate that kind of feeling, and although I sure could read up more by myself, I do wish they can be more communicative.

Anyway joined Kimberly, 'Hwai', Haifeng, Wenyan and Kim Sim for the run today. Although they all finished by the time I went there. This is because I too paiseh to leave my project group mates while they are still solving. I can't say like I will settle the rest at home because I do not know what to do!!! And the run, cannot make it. Although this is my first time run in a long time, i have been playing soccer pretty regularly. And yet today timing was 12:44! Sucks...

Unexpectedly met SW at PGP canteen today. Tmr gonna get back my Bahasa and French tests on the same day. No sweat. Whatever the result, i'm gonna pass anyway......

Played with my neighbour's dog (same blk, not same level) near the lift just now. It is a huge dog but very friendly, but... buaya (or hamsak)??? Cos it licked my ...... and the legs around the area. Make me feel so paiseh. whahahaha. How i wish I have a pet to play with. And I guessed the dog I had 19 years ago is no longer around... Can't even remember whether it is a she or a he... May the dog be well and happy!

Keluarga saya tinggal di Singapura. Kita tinggal di apartemen kecil di Paya Lebar. Ibu saya berasal dari Malaysia. Dia sangat cantik sekali. Ketika dia masih muda, Ibu punya banyak pacar. Abang perempuan saya juga sangat cantik sekali. Pacarnya tidak tampan tapi dia suka padanya. Tetapi sekarang mereka putus hubungan. Dia asalnya dari Singapura dan tentu saja, dia belum menikah. Bapak saya meninggal lima tahun yang lalu. Saya mempunyai seorang abang laki-laki. Dia badannya tinggi dan gagah, tetapi dia masih mempunyai pacar. Keluarga saya senang makan durian tetapi bukan abang perempuan saya. Dia membenci sekali durian! Keluarga saya senang makan mangga juga. Tetapi mangga harus berasa manis dan tidak menjadi asam!

I like this song the moment i hear it. Dunno why. Makes me feel very melancholic... Not that i am in a good mood today, so after listening to this song, it makes me feel even worse. haha... Anywya i think this is a very difficult song to sing. Like damn high towards the end. Think Fish Leong have been improving all these years.

丝路

如果流浪是你的天赋
那么你一定是我最美的追逐
如果爱情是你的游牧
拥有过是不是该满足

谁带我踏上孤独的丝路
追逐你的脚步
谁带我离开孤独的丝路
感受你的温度
我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖
让你疲倦时能够扎营停驻
羌笛声胡旋舞为你笑为你哭
爱上你的全部放弃我的全部

爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福
我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途
我只要你记住

星星就是穷人的珍珠
你的笑支撑着我虔诚的最初
狂风沙是我单薄衣服
穿越过亚细亚的迷雾

云破日出 你是那道光束
带着平凡的我走过奇迹旅途

Energy

My first camp in BS was in july 2003. I remember at Palelai Temple, I met this lady from China (who disappeared after the camp, haha). Me, Fucai and her (I forgot her name) had a little chat while enjoying the food @ Palelai. The rest had all left for campus. She said something which struck me to this day. We were discussing about vegetarian and life forms. She said she believe all things have 'life'. As in plants have feelings, and can response appropriately. However what struck me was about her view on people and their relationships. People, according to her, are attracted to each other by their energy. We are constantly seeking for people who can increase our energy level.

Eg: We are always excited about about new friends and making new friends energise you. After some time, when the energy had died down, you begin to seek for new energy somewhere. As a result one's past relationship stabilised (or stagnant or decline as we no longer can give each other the energy that we need). It is a very interesting way to look at relationships. Think this is quite true.

Have been thinking about something. Are we attracted to (not in terms of BGR but friendship) younger people to give us the energy that we need? As in they possess something which can supplement our energy level. I feel that this whole set of energy theory is quite applicable to me. Eg, at my current status in BS, i do feel more energised by the younger batch around. Like Vincent, and a more recent example, those young kias in my French class.

Make a pretty close friend there SW, who was the only one who talked to me when i was feeling completely lost and blur. :'( Anyway since then I have settled down and quite enjoyed the lessons. Find that my teacher is really humorous. Initially din really like her. In fact just a few days ago, i meet two other people who was studying French I and both of them told me they don't like Ms Sylvie. Their class was taught by her for the first few lessons. However I think if she has continued to teach them, they might feel differently. She is quite nice and willing to spend time to tutor us outside class hours. Really feel quite grateful to her. Anyway back to my friends in my class. We stayed on MSN for 4 plus hours last night, till 3plus am! Crazy. I realised that when i'm talking to them, i'm more willing to use certain choice of words which i would usually not use in BS. They too. In fact i found them quite mean (but very funny) to discuss abt other people names. LoLz. Feel that it is so nice to be year ones. Jialat, don't feel like growing up. Imagine have to go into work place in less than 8 months. Haiz. This is what Buddha says about Dukkha? I dunno...

Long post... Tmr soccer again. Hope can wake up. Studies really seem to be bottom on my priority list nowadays...
