Food for Thought! =)

They say that
YOU MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT YOU GET, BUT YOU MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT YOU GIVE..
Well, I plan to give my love, my everlasting love, what kind of life would THAT be?
BUZZZZZZYYYYYY BEEEEEEEE => That's ME!! =))
10:59 PM
Monday night and I feel so low
I count the hours, but they go so slow
I know the sound of your voice
Can save my soul
City lights, streets of gold
Look out my window to the world below
Moves so fast and it feels so cold
And I'm all alone (and I'm all alone)
Don't let me die
I'm losing my mind
And, baby,
Just give me a sign
And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you
(be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you
(be with you)
Wanna be with you
Guess what? I heard this song on Monday on my way home from school and I was just thinking of Alicia! So relatable! =D And I was wondering when I was gonna hear from her again.. And the coolest thing was.. She came online that very night!!!! XD We talked for a while, although it wasn't very long, but still!! Haha, I missed her, I've been forced to go cold turkey.. =X
Okie, updates about me! =)
1. PI is due on Thursday and mine still has not been accepted.. =/
2. I got my GOLD for NAPFA liao!!! =D
3. Severe pile of homework waiting for me to tackle =O
4. ISAC Comm positions are open.. Should I go for it?
5. Last Saturday's filming of procedures was SUPER FUNNY!! I think we're a crazy bunch! Who thinks that Merlion should be decorated on Flag Day?? =D
6. Simulation this saturday again on Sustainable Energy =))
7. Econs project supposedly due this week, no one in my class has even finished half.. LEE SB is gonna have a stroke.. =)))
8. Thursday is Speech Day (that means no school), shall be going Hooha for dinner =))

More importantly.. I plan to use this weekend to study and catch up, whether or not my plan succeeds is another question all together.. Haiz, Man proposes but God disposes.. (somehow I don't think I'm supposed to use it in this way!) HAHAHAHA.. XD
Goodnight world! Back to chionging PI =))
GIS Journey of Mine =)
4:39 PM - Saturday, April 25, 2009
My GIS journey is at an end, should I feel relieved or sad that we didn't win? To tell the truth, I feel both. I think we put in so much effort, we deserve something more than just certificates of PARTICIPATION... =/
Oh well, can't do anything about it now, so let's talk about this incredibly emotional GIS Journey..
Firstly, thanks so much Ashley for cursing us, you idiot, who ask you to say that "Why you guys bother so much? Its not as if you're gonna win anyway". YOU ASSHOLE, DUDE, YOU GUYS DON'T MAKE EFFORT SO BE IT, BUT DON'T DISS US CAN? I really feel like taking a GISarm and ramming it right through you, so that you fly all the way to GISborne. =)
Secondly, my group! GUYS I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH!! You made GIS journey bearable and enjoyable even. As a group we had so much fun (BANANAS OF THE WORLD UNITE, Yuesing high-ing on Superglue, Camwhoring, Auntie bags, Messiness and everything), and we had our ups and downs too.
Amanda - WOMAN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, Thanks for doing the bulk of the ARCGIS part, I know I tried to help, but it wasn't enough.. Thanks for being your normal brutal self, cutting 2 whole freaking pages out of the report.
Samantha - For your patience with my rebellious nature, for your classy GISe, for your 2.5 parts style, for your ability to visualise, for your brilliant telemarketeer skills, for your condescending nature.. =D For your absolute confusion between Britney Spears and Celine Dion, for your cheem Thesaurus-like brain with your raison d'etre and whatnot. =))
Yuesing - I have to admit, I was very tempted to strangle you, but ah heck, you made our GIS journey much more crazy, from your getting high on Superglue and too much food or lack of sleep, to your crazy laughter, to your insistence on redoing your work over and over again. To your creative/artistic input and to your absolute INSANITY!! =D
Sharon - Thank you for doing the poster, thank you for coming up with the GIS-TASTIC idea of using Google Sketchup and the model, thank you for not complaining about how we were like.. leaving you out of group discussions and only informing you of whatever we had decided afterwards, thank you for soldiering on despite your computer problems, thank you for making us laugh with your Auntie bag and your "Mt. Sinai" instead of "Tanjong Rhu".. =D Thank you for being a member of this team! =)) It's great to work with an 4LGAE-er again! =D
So to my 4 team-mates, thank you all so freaking much, I'll never forget this incredibly amazing journey, it's been fun and wonderful working with you guys, it's truly been the most interesting project I've worked on. You guys truly made the tagline "GIS up your life" apply to my life!
Despite all the rocky times in this journey, I've never regretted joining this GIS journey, its been so enriching, and I'm sure we've all grown closer as a group, we've bonded through the use of Superglue and Double-sided tape or Coloured Blu-tack =D
I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS!! <3
WOAH!!
9:02 PM - Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Okie.. It's officially been like.. 2 Days since Alicia left.. And I've been doing everything not to think about her... And as usual, I FAILED.. like EPIC FAIL!! =/
Right, let's try and move away from that.. But first, Alicia dear, if you're reading this, I hope you're settling in over in Down Under and have received my email! Take your time to read the 1000++ word essay (seriously..) and then reply me leh! =D
ARCGIS is really really coming to an end le! After Friday, I'll seriously be home free.. =D OMG.. I'm gonna do some long emotional post on friday/saturday detailing the stuff I learnt about ARCGIS and all, and the crazy times I had with my group! LOVE YOU GUYS!!! <3
Tomorrow Amanda and Co. are coming over to finish up the model.. Methinks Mummy's cooking pasta.. =)
2.4 on Monday was ok, nearly sprained my foot by landing wrongly and got leg cramps but I looked at the words " For Alicia I Can" on my hand, and carried on running, in the end, can get B I think.. =)
Ok.. I obviously can't seem to get away from the topic of Alicia.. haiz... REPLY ME MY DEAR, then my mind will be set at ease.. hopefully.. =)
P.S. Rebecca Oh send me the powerpoint and I'll trade you the song! =)))
WHYYYYY?????
9:48 PM - Sunday, April 19, 2009
NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO
WHY MUST TOMORROW COME?
i'm just a little too not over you...
It's just EMOTIONS taking me over... =/
8:36 PM - Wednesday, April 15, 2009
OMG.. I'm totally.. overwhelmed right now.. Just this morning.. I was nervous like HELL over our SLA Spatial Challenge ARCGIS Presentation at Singapore Land Authority.
Then we went for it, and more or less made it! I think we handled the questions part quite well, and according to Mrs. Bok's observation, we apparently justified ourselves so well that they had no questions to ask us! They had to make up questions =D
Oh and then the ARCGIS software CEO guy asked us that if there was one lesson we could take away from all this, what it would be. And guess what we said! I told him => We learnt that we cannot rely fully on technology alone, because no matter what, the human touch is required as technology may fail us sometimes. Then Amanda and I went on to list down the various errors that we found in ARCGIS!! HAH. That felt darn good and the guy was stumped and the rest were all laughing. Either way, I think we left a good impression.. I HOPE!! =))
THANKS SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE THAT WISHED US GOOD LUCK!! To: ALICIA DEAREST, PMZ LOVER, 5C12 THE BEST CLASS EVER, BECS for your words of encouragement, Mr Ken Leong for putting up with our nonsense, Mrs Bok/"bokkie" for having to tahan me giving her directions, and anyone else who helped in one way or another =))
So after that, I WAS SO FREAKING HIGH!! Then I went for ISAC and felt even happier.. HAHA!! Mr Gilbert Lee was lecturing us on the Global Recession and I learnt soo much today!! So interesting! Haha =D I think he's a fantastic lecturer, very entertaining, WHY THE HECK IS HE NOT TEACHING THE YEAR 5S?!
Alright, so after coming down from my HIGH, obviously I had a LOW. I thought about ALICIA and stuffz. How I really might not have time to go and see her before she leaves for Australia, how I might not be able to pass her the postcards, how I might not be able to see her off and everything. GOD IT WEIGHS ON MY MIND EVERYDAY.. =/ And I can't do a freaking thing about it. I know Alicia says that I can see her again when she comes back in October for her brother's wedding, but its not the same. =(
Oh well, shall keep thinking about it, there has to be a solution. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SOLUTION. =S
Then I started work on my PI 2nd draft, really worried and confused about it, but thanks to my very nice seniors, I'm not so confused anymore! =) Thank you so much Extremely-Weird-But-Smart-Senior STEFFI, and my Ms-Extremely-Nice-Senior-SAMANTHA who coincidentally got an A for PW! And Steffi, I believe that although you got a B for PW, it does not reflect your true potential accurately. =)
OMG today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, then again, what day never is.. Now still have Wei An's problems to consider.. That one is TRICKIER than Li Wen's.. DAMN IT ALL.. =/
Do I take on too much? I know I'm not SUPERWOMAN, but GOD KNOWS I TRY...
P.S. Gilbert Lee is a MILLIONAIRE/will be a MILLIONAIRE!! =D
P.P.S GOOD LUCK TO SYF DANCE PEOPLE!!
Updates! Plus ALICIA.. =)
10:25 PM - Monday, April 13, 2009
FPSP is OVER!! for now at least.. Devi said she's gonna make minor changes then see how lor! Hopefully those "minor changes" will save us!! =))
ArcGIS is gonna kill me... The presentation slides are due TMR and the presentation itself is on Wednesday.. OMG.. gonna go to Singapore Land Authority and then rush back after the presentation for ISAC!! LOVE ISAC!!
EEK NAPFA IS NEXT MONDAY!!! =/
So keep breathing
I said that I'll always be there
Now I mean it more than ever before
There's a future worth fighting for
So don't be scared
I know how you must be feeling
No one to help you carry the pain
I'm coming to save the day
I know.. It must be scary going all alone to a "foreign" land to study, and to seriously study so that you won't disappoint yourself and your family again. Well, this time, I know you're determined, you know that you have to work hard and do well, so that well, yeah, you'll have a future. =) So, work hard, its gonna be tough being there all alone, but I'll help in any way I can, whether its by talking to you or facebooking or whatever.
I'll always be there for you! =))
Alicia And Me, Holding Hands 4eva!
11:04 AM - Saturday, April 11, 2009
But it's harder to hold on to your hands than the hands of time
I need a hand, girl, trying to hold on
Losing strength in these hands of mine
I need you here
I'm trying to hold on
Standing here, open hands and I
Know I can't do this alone
Hold on, oh, hold on
Baby, hold on (to my hands)
Hold on to my hands (don't let go of my hands)
Don't let go
I'm trying my best to find time to meet you, I desperately want to, but I have to get my priorities right, right? =/
So yeah, HOLD ON TO MY HANDS, while I try to hold on to the hands of time, stop it from running away, so I can find time to meet you. JUST HOLD ON, I'm so tired I'm losing strength in these hands of mine..
GIRL JUST HOLD ON =)
Alicia
9:30 PM - Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Why oh why oh why are you taken away from me so soon after we've strengthened our friendship? Definitely it goes without saying that I'm really happy for you, that you've been given a 2nd chance. However, I'm human, I have emotions and right now, THEY'RE RULING ME.. =/
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No...
You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no
Thats exactly it, I've just have to convince myself, our friendship and love will last, even though you're flyin away, but I WON'T CRY, won't stand in your way, cos' I know you'll be back again.
1,2,3, Snap your fingers,
And I'm under your spell
OMGOSH!!
