Did an 1hr operation with full body anesthetic! after that i need to stay in hospital overnight and was discharged the next noon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is my surgery in my life, quite an experience haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before my operation, I was actually given an pain killer injection and I went to sleep, a very nice sleep throughout the whole afternoon. I have to wait so long because I had lunch and I need to fast for at least 5 hrs before the operation. So at about time for my operation i was woke up by nurse. still blur blur, i was told to move myself to the next bed which they will push me to the OT. then they put on those paper caps on my head and feet. Though I still feel very giddy, i can feel my heartbeat increases and i start to shiver! haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remembered how scary it is to be pushed on the bed here and there, and finally to the operating theatre with those big lights that we always see on dramas haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was quite surprise that the anesthetist gave me the GA by injecting near my palm. I still rem I asked him "not smell one meh?" haha before that I was still worrying how much i need to sniff? too little wait i wake up half way how? too much then i can't wake up after long sleep how? well after the injection i can't recall much already. Because I was still giddy from the pain killer and sleep, it seems to me like I am just continuing my sleep and i just sleep.. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when I woke up again, i felt like going to the toilet, and just nice there is a nurse beside me, so i ask for help. I was told that it is normal that after the injection I will feel like gg to toilet but actually its a false alarm. i was like huh? and I asked the nurse: "you mean i finish my operation?" haha what a silly question right? but i am glad its over. really love GA man. haha thou i know its quite hurtful to our body.. but i still rem when i lye on the operating platform with so many people around me, i was really shivering for the worst time in my life! I can imagine how can I go through the whole operation if not for GA. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some random photos i took while in hospital..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my bed.... 941&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

She is a colleague that i talked most in the company, often i call her jeh jeh. she is 5 year older than me, but her life experience is so much more than me! She came from Malaysia, and she was previously a air stewardess in Japan Airlines. She is with Speedmark for 3 years now. I feel that she is really pretty and is a thinker, not a vase! She told me that being air stewardess was her childhood ambition. But she say that she feel that the difference working as a air stewardess for 5 years and in Speedmark for 5 years is that being after 5 years of air stewardess life, u came out with nothing! u are still experience-less. whereas if after 5 years of work in Speedmark, what leave with u is 5 years of freight experience, which is valuable to you. and she feel that one cannot 'start' working (cos she dun consider air stewardess is working cos it comes with no experience) in her 30s.. so even thou air crew life brings her v high pay and lots of leave, but she quited after 3 years of air crew life. I really admire her, the way she plan her life and knows what she wants to do at every point of her life. It really makes me ponder what's my goal in my life!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well to end off, let me talk abt monday night...&lt;br /&gt;we sent my gan ma to Zurich for her exchange..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/?action=view&amp;current=DSC02781.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02781.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope gan ma will take care of herself in Zurich, and we will all miss her!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-1686791891169665342?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/1686791891169665342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=1686791891169665342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/1686791891169665342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/1686791891169665342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2008/02/end-of-pig-year.html' title='End of Pig year...'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-2391768466335016684</id><published>2008-01-10T21:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-01-10T22:45:21.809+08:00</updated><title type='text'>my new job @ Speedmark..</title><content type='html'>one week has passed since i started my job.. basically i've just completed my OJT (on-the-job Training) yesterday and I am now writing my OJT report. haiz. they say only management trainee need to write. and so call mgmt trainee is the future mgmt..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. my office has abt 30+ people. then my sales team currently there 4 of us (incl me) and I heard 2 more sales will be coming in mid Jan.. 6 person sales team. like quite big hor? Beside my office in changi, they also have another office at Pasir Panjang. my office deals with air freight (tats y at the airport), and the pasir panjang one deals with sea freight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;travelling to work can be quite sianz cos its by bus. and TPE is always jam. wasted so much time on the road. like today, massive jam on TPE due to a 5-car accident.. resulted in a 2 hr trip to work. hahah lucky got my new DS with me.

Can't believe I am so lazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I've been slacking (ok i am not really slacking cos i feel so busy everyday) for 1 month since i last ended my last exam. talking about last exam, haiz, I was still telling des that I wanted to blog about my last exam since i took some photos regarding exams (like the seating plan, the exam hall etc)... and then I also told yeeling that I will blog about my interesting interviews.. then I said i wanted to blog the photos I took using my bao bei canon SLR camera.. then i said i wanted to blog about my US trip(or at least finish uploading my pics for the trip) and i also said i wanted to blog about my Korea trip... hahah i can't believe i did none of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok so summarise, this one month, beside finish writing that stupid 4 page comm service report (which i dragged it for 1 year hahaha), going for 2 interviews (on the same job), a 8-day korea trip, tidying my room (so that now u can only find my laptop, a calendar and a pen holder my long long table), countless times of 'IT support trips' for my parent's company... and thats all i think..

I haven got the time to bring my laptop back to fujitsu since they told me that my motherboard arrived when i was half way through the term...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sianz. so many things to do yet i need to start work tmr liao... nonetheless i still feel excited over my new job.. hahaha ok will take this opportunity to blog abt my new job..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will start working tmr at this freight forwarding company call speedmark. its a SME. chatted with a few seniors, their advice was that working in SME can be good cos normally SME working hours are more regular, and its those MNC that squeeze u to the max.. my position there is call Management Trainee but basically its Business Development and Sales.. well I am ok with doing sales only if the basic salary is high (i would consider &gt;$2.4k high for a sales job).. haha dun like that kind where ur pay is mostly depended on commission... so poor thing lor. talking abt my work place venue.. lol its at changi Air Freight Centre.. located opp SAF ferry terminal.. thou i stay Punngol, but its not v near lor. think its even further than gg to sch... hahah lucky i asked for higher pay than what they initially told me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was quite happy that I got this job.. cos firstly, I din really applied for it. It came itself.. or rather I feel that it's God who gave me this job. the company got me through the resume compilation. they called me during the study week and I told them i only can attend interview after my exams.. so I attended first interview on the day after my last paper.. and i had the second interview the next day.. and I got the job liao.. really thank God! I din even need to start any job hunting at all.. dun need to write any cover letters and rewrite my resume etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay wise.. quite happy with it.. cos it came with lots of different allowances... like hp allowances, transport allowances, entertainment allowances... if u are interested to know what is my pay, can come msn me.. hahahha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm.. think gotta stop here.

type='text'>I want a SLR!!!</title><content type='html'>have been super slack in my life recently... think must be cause of final sem syndrome.. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway ever since i come back from US, i think i'm quite rather determined to take up a super expensive hobby! =p          learning professional photography!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so.... have been actively reading up about SLRs and am quite settled with this camera recommended by crystaline (she say is jeff recommend one la)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/eos400d-01-001.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE CANON EOS 400D!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she say this is suitable for beginners.. think will cost me abt $1300.. but i think its worth it cos i think it will be good if i can bring a SLR to my 2 trips to HK and Korea at the end of the year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well have been thinking and thinking for very long.. cos i feel that i should learn something first before deciding which camera to buy so that i can buy one that suits me. on the other hand, i feel that i can't learn anything without getting myself a SLR! haiz contradicting!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway my determination to learn photography leads me to my first step.. which is to go for SMUSAIC activity last friday. well, they had a basic lesson on photography, teaches stuff like aperture, ISO, focal length, exposure etc.. and i realise my current point-and-shoot SONY W70 cannot satisfy at all! none the less i still love my sony camera lah. she's been with me throughout my whole USA trip and there're pics that fred's exp camera cant capture but mine can! lol... i think i will still keep my sony (despite the fact that the dial is crazy and its getting me crazy) even when i get a SLR..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the lesson by SMUSAIC, we went out for a photoshooting ard the school.. they say our photos will be put up for exhibition at i-forgot-where.. wonder when is it.. hopefully mine are choosen! the following are some of the photos which i liked alot.. all taken using my point-and-shoot SONY camera! enjoy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

my birthday.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was a v peaceful birthday spent. or rather more of forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;dunno y, i guess it has something to do with age? i feel that birthdays are getting more and more undesirable. i recall my last birthday was a disaster.. initially des brought me to outback, which i have been wanting to go since dunno when, and it was our first time celebrating my bd.. but something happen between me and my mum and we had a big quarrel.. i rem in the end i cried throughout the whole dinner and i din have any appetite to eat anything at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeap and that was last year......what about this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well no doubt i shud be thankful that i am able to spent my 24th birthday out of Singapore and in a wonderful country call USA, and in a v v v beautiful city call San Francisco and Yosemite National Park.. but then it was not as if it was planned for my birthday. and well if u know me enuff, i am not that kind of person who will organise a birthday chalet or party to invite friends to come. so i din really say plan how a wanted my birthday to be..... but then..... hahaha din know it turn out to be like this......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;woke up at 5am......&lt;br /&gt;drove to Yosemite...&lt;br /&gt;Yosemite hot weather (40 degrees!!) almost melted me.&lt;br /&gt;got lost while on the way to san fran after Yosemite..&lt;br /&gt;had KFC for dinner.....&lt;br /&gt;finally reach hotel at about 11pm......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;k lah lingxin got wish me by giving me a surprise notepad note on my comp while i was bathing.. other than that, serveral close friends like ivy dear, corinne, joyce, leemin also gave me their birthday greetings..... but abit sad that my roomies all forgot abt my birthday.... :( when they dun even rem my bd, how am i suppose to "celebrate" my birthday leh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then des got my timing totally wrong. and at first i thot my dad forgot abt my bd too, but in the end realise he sent an ecard which din reach my mailbox. grrr.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204,

type='text'>BGR</title><content type='html'>i pondered upon it...... should i blog ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since i can't sleep at 3.30am ....... well might as well..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.5 years have gone.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes... or lots of the times, i am wondering, and worrying.... how many more 1.5 years can we be together?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in this 1.5 years, there are so many ups and downs.. and i must admit that it even happen within myself. sometimes i became so down that i just wanted to give up everything. for no reason somemore. maybe at that point of time, i just don't love anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is this normal? can anyone tell me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes i wonder are we suitable for each other? like right from the beginning, even before we started, i already pointed out that it seems that we've v diff lifestyle. things he like to do i dun like. things i like to do, he dun seems to be much interested also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at times if u ask me what i like about him, i also dunno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then sometimes i also dunno what he likes about me..  then i have a bad habit that when i dunno what he likes about me i will conclude that maybe he dun love me. maybe he just continue to love cos xi guan le.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah.. assumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how again? am i normal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess i can be quite erm.. how to say.... i think i am quite xiao qi ba.. i can be angry over things like having a dinner with the mic peeps without letting me know.. well i am angry cos when i called him in the evening, i was actually v pek cek about having to cook dinner at home, and so i called him. he said he was wearing his shoes. ok. and he said he was going out for dinner.. so with his parents i thought. and only in the middle of the night then i found out that he was actually out for dinner with the mic peeps, and how i found out? from their blogs and tagboards. yeah this is nothing wrong.. and its not like jian bu de ren, but i just cant understand y din u just let me know when u said u were wearing ur shoes? think that its not necessary? well yeah.. maybe its not necessary.. but all i want is to be updated of your whereabouts.... and i hate to be the last one to know about things u know? esp about my own boyfriend. and yeah........ last one to know that actually my bf does have a blog. or maybe i shudn't even know at all cos he might want it to be a private space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its really a pain to get to know things out of blogs.. and tagboards.... yeah so what am i to you? maybe i also just hoping to be like your friend, maybe closer one... where u will tag occasionally, no actually i know u tag quite often. cos u are someone who got lots of yi jian. tagging at gf blog is a taboo is it? or is it that u got no comments about my life (what i write in my blogs) at all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes i wonder what he felt about me seriously. did i do anything that let him down? maybe not a big thing but a small thing like flying plane for a date... or maybe is there an instance when i am not sensitive enough to his feelings and hurt him? maybe for example... like what i blogged so far. like so little thing and yet make such a big fuss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what kind of gf am i actually? really hope to find out........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then again back to the same old problem....... where solution seems further and further away from us..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its kinda painful, stressful and tired to hold a time bomb..... knowing that somehow it will explode someday and yet i can't bring myself to put it down. and at the end of the day, i know that somehow it will explode even if i choose to continue carrying it or to put it down..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nope.... today is not a bad day. i din quarrel with him at all....... so pls eliminate that thot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well... i hope anyone who read this will just read and forget. even if i am too harsh. just let me be okay? this is my blog what. SO WHAT..... its just my feelings at this point of time. And tmr will be a new day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dar.. if this hurts u.... sorry dar.....&lt;br /&gt;sa-rang-hae-yo.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-4632992838454989366?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/4632992838454989366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=4632992838454989366' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/4632992838454989366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/4632992838454989366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2007/05/bgr.html' title='BGR'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-2129550513533418710</id><published>2007-04-30T14:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-04-30T15:34:25.648+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='smu'/><title type='text'>Shine Farewell</title><content type='html'>Shine went back to Korea le. went back last wed night..&lt;br /&gt;he held a farewell party for himself at his house (and its potluck AGAIN..) last last sat. but i din go cos i was held up in MIC exco camp..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah anyway met up with him and william last tues afternoon at Ben&amp;Jerry before he fly..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02831.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage1-11.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;william and i are actually quite un-convinced of shine's reason to go back. cos initially Shine told me that his plans after exams was to go cambodia, then come back, and then will go Bali for one month to learn surfing then come back to singapore and then go back to korea in abt June..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so when he called me last last thurs that he is going back to Korea, i am kinda shock and wonder is he having some troubles at home or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so when we asked him y is he changing his plans, he told us: "Because I'm sick." omg, then i became even more worried.. is he getting some serious illness that he need to get medication straight away therefore he need to go back to korea?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i probed somemore. He told us that after he came back from cambodia, he was having fever for days and having diarrhea..  when i asked him did he go and see a doctor, he shake his head.. he say he is ok now and will see a doctor tmr. then i asked him when is he going back, "Tonight." lol.... what that means? haha dun trust singapore doctors eh?? so just because of this, he canceled his bali plans and go back to Korea? then fever for days still dun wanna see doc, but will see doctor when he say he is feeling ok already... quite ridiculous right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;william and i were still discussing abt it after we went home that day...... haiz really worried for him.. dunno is he hiding something from us or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, thou there might be chance of meeting him again, but i think possibility quite low given the fact he stay in Pusan, not Seoul.. and possibility of me gg to Pusan is almost zero hahaha. yeah. so i think that might be the last time i will see him in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shine is the first exchange student i am more closely related with. so close that even des often get jealous and keep complaining abt me meeting him too much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well... what can i do with an exchange student? i am not red head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its just that he is simply too warm. and he's got super high EQ. He is warm to everyone. despite of language barriers, he still have more than 50 friends in singapore. You really feel that he is sincere to u when u talk to him. and that he is someone u really wanted to give a hand to whenever he has trouble or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;some info abt him and us...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He came to SMU in 2006/07 term1 which is last term and he stayed in SMU for 2 terms, ie one year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met him during Music east and west...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01475.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there was another 2 Korea exchange students also, the other 2 of them only stayed in SMU for one term and left liao. one of them smoke and the other was super quiet. so i din really talked to them also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then after that we took up Rondalla in Music east &amp;amp; west as our concentration. we've to do an emsemble of different rondallas and its so happen that shine, me and liling were playing the same parts. so we often prac together and chat together. sometimes we also meet up outside of class to have lunch and extra practices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and thanks to him, i went to city harvest church for the first time.. for the Christmas service last year. there, it really seems that i was the "exchange student" and he was the Singaporean. felt so handicapped!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01831.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and my parents took us to JB for a short excursion as well..... see, he even know how to deal with aunties and uncles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01893.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and he invited us to his 25? or 26 birthday party..... haha then we realise how popular he is.. he got so many friends!! i think if i were to have a birthday party, i wouldnt have that amt of friends coming also... let alone being a foreigner!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01988.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup.. and thats all about him and me....... haha thats really sounds abit like as if he..... choi!! lol i know he will be fine. my mum say he is that kind of ppl where u dump him in desert he also can survive one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;btw, he did mentioned to us that he is gg to Beijing for summer study in abt July.. lol... everyone is in Beijing.. hee..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-2129550513533418710?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/2129550513533418710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=2129550513533418710' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/2129550513533418710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/2129550513533418710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2007/04/shine-farewell.html' title='Shine Farewell'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-3136205252650440687</id><published>2007-04-29T03:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-08-20T03:02:53.138+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='smu'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MIC'/><title type='text'>.MIC.results.life.

well.. anyway he still changed his flights in the end... hahahha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then i am also not doing any 3A anymore. yeah! decided not to take up comp simulation. cant stand YKK teaching sia. he really dun teach one. hahaha anyway in the first place why i wanna take CS is bcos i left 4 mod and my gpa is currently 2.98. so die die must go pass 3.0 when i grad. and for me to grad with 3.0, i think must get all the remaining 4 mods B or B+... which i am not v confident in..... moreover, when i say all B, its when i put quite optimistic results for my this sem mods. so if my this sem results wasnt as good as what i thot it will be, then maybe i need to get like 4 A- to get to 3.0. which is crazy.  so i was thinking of taking CS, hopefully i can score an A like my BP like that. so i was waiting for my results to come out, so like if my results were even better than what i planned, then i dun take CS.. if my results are worst than what i planned, then i need CS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz, but then until the start of the summer class, i only knew 2 out of 5 of my results! damn. and one of them i score better than expectation, the other is lower than my expectation. lol so how? then some more after 2 crash classes, i think its impossible to get A for CS lor. everyone in my class seems so zai. i think at most i only get a B+ for it. then whats the point of spending this $800 on top of my $3000++ sch fees next term?! then somemore, i think i'll sure be darn slack next term if i only take 3mods, cos i've been taking 5 mods since like 2 years ago.. think suddenly drop to 3 mod, i will be too slack, then i wont study, then i will flung everything... hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of cos last reason of not taking is cos of the timing lah. m,w,f 8.30am leh. can die lor. hahaha nonetheless, i think CS is really useful. if its offered in normal term, i confirm take one. so sad only avail in summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah talking about results..... by now, gotten back 4 out of 5 mods. still not bad, so far this 4 right, 2 got better than what i expected, one within expectation and one below expectation. the one below expectation is SP. haiz scored a B for it and was in the 13percentile lor.. wth... was hoping a B+ and so i went to look for the prof with Merrylyn....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he told me that actually i did ok. exam ok, project also ok.. and i am close to B+... so whats the prob? its peer evaluation. cos our marks for projects are derived by multiplying the percentage u get for ur peer evaluation and the marks the grp get for the project. he said the whole class almost everyone else got 100% for their peer evaluations. so only our grp. there are marks left on the table like that.... haiz we din take note of that. and our SP grp dynamics are damn jialat. some grp member always din turn up for proj and always dun wanna co-operate. its not that i din do my work and get a lousy peer evaluation and end up with a lousy score. but what can I do? so i pointed out to the prof the flaw in the peer evaluation system, hoping that he can pull me up to B+.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"well, i feel that this peer evaluation is not really accurate in calculating a grp member's effort in the group. cos honestly speaking, IF i am the free rider, when i am doing the peer evaluation, i jolly well know that I will be marked down. so if it doesn't make sense if i give others a high score. since I know that people will mark me down, then might as well i mark ppl down first."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i truly believes that's the reason why i am so-near-yet-so-far from my B+...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the sucky prof replies are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"well, this boils down to how u manage a group..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dotz leh. this is SERVICE PROCESSES. not mpw or what. talk about people management eh. and seriously i think he take this evaluation too seriously. and its really so unfair to the few of us where we worked so far and yet being pulled down by this kind of ridiculous thing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;haha anyway here are some pics taken during the MOCK camp last week...... some really damn funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;des, winston and kaykey doing a forfeit... singing twinkle twinkle little stars...... hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02616.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then having our lunch at sakae sushi... we how rox rite. haha camp lunch at sakae.. haha thats the good thing about city campus. haha camp here and everything is around you. but really feel abit weird when we dress in "camp attire" then we walk from sch to PS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02629.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02626.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we did the human star...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02632.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;piling the balloons......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage5-4.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;balloon-walk...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage7-1.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and on the actual day...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our juniors, future leaders of MIC!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02723.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oppss...&lt;br /&gt;evidence of theft..... no lah we got return in the end k. borrow only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02724.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;juniors playing the balloon game. i think they are damn smart.. hahhaa all sit in a circle..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02728.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;group pic of everyone during the trip to Sentosa on sunday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02822.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz. and finally our last dinner together as a MIC exco member.

hahah realise alot of changes!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly is the tickets.... no more the long long white tic that we bought at the arrival centre.&lt;br /&gt;Now its change to this kind of contactless card, but its made of paper actually... so its one time use, and we can bring it come. The use of this card is mainly because of the new monorail system which function now very much like a LRT system. I think the idea of using paper contactless card is very good! Ezlink should adopt this for their per trip lah...... if possible haha.. then no need to so ma fan pay one more dollar and need to refund it back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02609.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so besides the tickets other changes i see includes like closure of arrival centre, so now tickets can be bought at a counter at the bus interchange, or there are many self service kiosk near the monorail station... really v much like taking MRT...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so now no more arrival centre, the bus from the bus interchange will go directly to the individual destinations..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then theres the new musical fountain by the sea...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and many many more......... which i dun even know where are they hahha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hahhaha for us, as usual we had scavenger hunt, beach volleyball and some stupid co-ordination game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at the end of the day, we took some funny pic before we left....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage1-10.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage-10.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage2-6.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah and we board the new monorail on our way back!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage4-3.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its really a nice weather today!

GSR3.5 has the best view in the whole school.. i felt. just that the aircon there is freaking too cold. nonetheless, GSR3.5 is very popular among the muggers.

since i have a quiz from 12.30 to 2.30, so i can only join them after that. when i got there i was delighted that they've got a good deal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;had been trying to book online but online booking doesnt allow much flexibility..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah.. we had an offer, UA flight with the following destination&lt;br /&gt;1) sin&gt;narita(tokyo)&lt;br /&gt;2) narita &gt; new york (stopover for 6 days)&lt;br /&gt;3) new york &gt; LA&lt;br /&gt;returning:&lt;br /&gt;4) LA &gt; narita&lt;br /&gt;5) narita &gt; SIN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/booking1.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;total of 5 flights!!

We arrived at HarbourFront at about 2pm.. and wow. the queue is super super long. In the end, we took about 1 hour before we really get on board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and each of us get a access card like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02159.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its your room card, access card to all restaurants and also your "credit card" on board as they dun collect cash on the ship, everything is charged to the card and we will settle the account at the end of the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we found our cabin.. oh yar by the way, show u how our cabin look like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage7.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there's no window, no balcony.. (if u nv seen a cabin with balcony before. let me tell u. its-damn-shiok!!!!! *envy*) well of cos not envy that they have the money but i dun to get a balcony cabin, but its becos when we booked that time, they are left with the most expensive non balcony class cabin... errrrr damn irritating lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i found this in our cabin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02143.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which tells us what are the activities every day. so everyday is a new copy. like camp like that. got time table one.. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yar, then we spend some time unpacking, then we go out to&lt;br /&gt;1) self orientation around the cruise and take pictures,&lt;br /&gt;2) book our tours to Penang and Phuket&lt;br /&gt;3) book our "gala-dinner"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pictures time:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02127.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;at Deck13, the highest deck before the cruise depart.. with Sentosa as background&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02121.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mummy &amp; I, with harbourfront as background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02142.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;daddy inside a lift.. well the cruise looks damn luxurious.. even the lift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so after taking the pictures, we get down to the reception area to book our shore excursions to penang and phuket. cos its not compulsory to really get down the cruise when the cruise stop at these 2 places, so if u want to get down and walk walk, u can also choose to join their tours, they have different tours of different genre and interests, from massage to shopping to snorkeling..&lt;br /&gt;however when we reach there, we are so disappointed that the tour that we wanted to take part for Penang is already fully subscribed! we thot we are damn early already, but still too late... so we've got no choice but to get a free and easy for penang. as for Phuket we signed up for the shopping tour since mummy wanted to buy those thailand foods but dunno where to buy cos its our first time to Phuket...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as for the GALA Dinner... well, there's this leaflet in our cabin saying that "Tuesday night (our last night on board) is a very special night for us....... invite you to the GALA dinner. Reservations needed... reservations starts 4.30pm" ok. we reached the booking venue at 5pm, and again its fully booked.... y is everybody so kiasu?! and i really hate star cruise for this. they like to create disappointment eh... and a deeper probe into a staff, we then get to know that this Gala Dinner involves all the main restaurants on the cruise. so no reservations=no entering. no main restaurant dinning = dine only at buffet. wth... say its soooo special night. but its just for how many people? and so let the rest of us be not special? we reached there only at 5pm lor... i wonder how many people can't get this Gala Dinner... they say its a special night.. so y is it that only that certain amount of people get to be special? isn't it very unfair for those who din get to reserve it. and its true, there are many people starting to create a nuisance at the reservation table when they learn that its full. really dun see the whole point of this gala dinner leh. they say u still have to dress in evening gowns and suits to attend it. what the....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;19th Feb&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;daddy took the effort to get up at 6plus to see if there is sun rise, however to his disappointment, its raining....... yar so no more sun rise.. and he din wake me up, he only told me all these during breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;had breakfast at this western restaurant call Bella Vista... their interior is gorgeous. really like that place alot... and their food i must say its the nicest of all the restaurant on the cruise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage5-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nice right?! having breakfast by the window, and out of window what u see is not cars, not roads, not buildings, not trees, not grass... but........... sea!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeap then we walked around the whole cruise again... and take more pictures. we finally reached Penang at about 12pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we need to actually take a tender boat to reach Penang cos the pier at Penang is too shallow for the cruise i think.. so it has to actually stop quite far away, and we will take a smaller boat to reach the shore. and the same goes to Phuket as well..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, took this pic while on the boat. i think star cruise really took great care of the cruise man. its a 7 years old ship! but it still look brand new! and look at those balcony of the balcony class! *envy***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02198a.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage-4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when we get to Penang, we are lucky we din take their shopping trip (its our alternative to the one that is fully subscribed) . cos we got a cab ourselves. the cab fare to the shopping centre is only 20ringit (before bargain). yar its darn exp. and my mum dun like to bargain one.. so we just took it. well that shopping trip that star cruise offered, went to this place and the other shopping centre as well. each person is S$18 lah.. no lunch or what... so its just the transport alone.. yar so in the end we only spent 40RM in total for transportation. thats like what one person would pay for wat star cruises offered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we've got not much time, cos have to be back on cruise by 6pm.. so in the end we just shop at one shopping centre and caught a movie.. Protege.. in canto! shiok..its been so long since we watch a canto movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;20th Feb&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;got up at 6.30am.. cos have to get down the cruise to go Phuket at 8.30am today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage1-4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then after coming back from Phuket trip, remember? its tuesday night, got that leng Gala Dinner.. but before the dinner, they actually hold a cocktail call the cocktail session with the captain. equally leng rite. so the captain come on stage together with all the other management heads in their full uniform to give speeches and take pictures with people.. like ma chiam celebrities like that. and so i realise that of all the 26 nationalities on board, i think only the china chinese, taiwanese and singaporeans were there, trying to get a glimpse of the captain while all the ang mos were all still sunbathing at the top deck. well, the captain looks yandao thou. look like brad pitt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage6.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yar then after the cocktail is the start of the gala dinner which we are NOT entitled to go.. and as we went up to the buffet restaurant we realise that there are many people there as well.. hahah same as us, can't manage to reserve for the gala dinner. there are so many people that we can't even find a table for 3 of us! so since we are not very hungry, we decided to make ourself hungrier by.... going for a swim. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and while swimming, we saw the beautiful sun set!!! yeah! i've taken a picture with sunrise in Australia and now i have a picture with sunset as well! its awesome!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage9.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;21st Feb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;well, so soon, its the last day of the cruise trip already. din do much that day, just more and more photos... lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and we decided to have our first and last dinner at our favourite restaurant, Bella Vista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup thats about all.... to end this let me share with you....&lt;br /&gt;The Picture of the Trip............. love this picture the most...... argh. sea, i love you so....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC02135.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-3810532751770977024?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/3810532751770977024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=3810532751770977024' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/3810532751770977024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/3810532751770977024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2007/02/i-am-back.html' title='I am back...'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-7449965551953496027</id><published>2007-02-17T12:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-29T01:03:40.919+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UCLA'/><title type='text'>猪你新年快乐!!!</title><content type='html'>Chinese new year is round the corner again!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and tmr (Chu 1) i'll be leaving for my cruise trip! well every cny usually my family would go on tour... this year we have been running out of places to go.. cos firstly normally my holidays were limited cos i need to go back to school on chu 3.. well so we can only go to near places.. yar and so we have run out of places to go. and in the end we decided to take the exp-and-nothing-much cruise trip...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/PICT0012.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we're going onto the biggest cruise!! the Superstar Virgo. its damn exp lah. i think the same price can go taiwan liao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yar talking abt taiwan... actually we can go taiwan. so y are we not going? hahhahaa cos when we book the tour, i forgot that CNY actually falls on week 8!!! hahaha got a big scolding from my mum after i told her this. haiz... yar lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but never mind.. never been to cruise also mah. anyway my cruise trip will depart on chu 1 at 4pm and will be back on chu 4 night. its a 4 days 3 night cruise trip with stopovers at Penang and Phuket Island.. haiz but then not gg away for too long is also good cos immediately on thurs and fri i have project meetings =_= anyway, i dun have autoroam.. so nobody can find me, even if i have, i dun think there's reception in the sea right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so hereby wish all of u a Happy Lunar New Year!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q157/graphic_code/chinese_new_year_holidays/cnybecca9bc9740_myspace.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, i've decided to go for the most expensive summer ---&gt; applying for UCLA.. and i am at the stage of deciding what to take. btw i am only taking one course there cos no point take 2 course and make myself busy until i got no time to travel hahhaha and 2 courses means higher school fees and have to apply for student visa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be going with lingxin, she'll be taking communication mods cos she needs to clear them.. for me, i think i will take mod from their management school as the UCLA Anderson School of Management is recently selected by BusinessWeek as the best business school... but not sure the exact course that i want to take yet.. so looking forward to it!! been looking thr zuji.com to find out roughly what are the prices like to fly to USA... haiz minimium is $1700... and lingxin said her dad wouldn't want her to take a not-so-famous airlines so i guess she might be settled on SIA.. SIA price is like $2500 !!! haiz really hope that i wont spend like $8k lah cos i think most probably i am financing the trip myself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

UCLA&lt;br /&gt;2) internship&lt;br /&gt;3) BSM to silicon valley (anyway application close liao and i din apply ahhahaha)&lt;br /&gt;4) mission trip to korea&lt;br /&gt;5) USA work and travel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup.. nowadays i think i got psychoed by the OCS ppl that an internship is v impt.. and cos i really dunno what i wanna be 10 mths down the road.. then des say i shud have taken an internship. but then actually the place i wanted to go most is UCLA, but is the most exp one.. roughly speaking is abt 8k, inclusive of intensive travelling.. lol even stay at taiwan for maybe 2 days...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well why UCLA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

USA... and i know i can never make it to a term exchange with smu... well, UCLA is suggested by lingxin. after some research, found out that UCLA is the world ranking 12 university!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well last night actually went out for dinner with lingxin, ohh we went to swiss culture! finally hahaha ate that cheese fondue, and cos we are popular members, we've got a complimentary chocolate fondue.. well actually i felt that the chocolate fondue taste so much better than the cheese fondue...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yar.. so lingxin and i had an exciting time talking abt our prospective UCLA trip! hollywood and disneyland are all near the school! and we will visit NY also, and must go to las vegas as well, and many many other places!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm.. anybody interested in joining moi? =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-3206916719460621289?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt=''

type='text'>angry day!</title><content type='html'>waited for 6 hrs for nothing!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;plan to go for BBM internship briefing today at 6pm and my classes end at 12pm.. and i gotta stone for 6 hrs in sch library! and when 6pm comes, i reach there and the OCS staff told me that i cant go in cos i din register for it. ok i take it. i sway.. but wait, i know that the other 2 BBM briefings are on wed.. and wed i have the boring proj mgmt class which start at 4 and end at 7.15pm.. shucks.. so i wanted the tell the OCS staff abt it. this is where my fire comes. when i was trying to talk to her, she can bloody ignore me and talk to the person behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i tried again. and she totally ignore me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;call urself staff. cant u have a bit of basic courtesy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;treat us students as what? huh? the lowest class of ppl in school is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;really angry leh... firstly waited for 6 hrs for nothing. secondly nobody reminded me that i need to register for it. thirdly met this bloody rude OCS staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;really start to hate the school staffs. all dumps and cant do anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reminded me of a stupid cheque. submited the invoice from tinybox(MIC vocal course school) for the subsidy of the vocal courses. i submited i rem is abt 12dec. and until now its still not processed. what the hell is the school staff doing? huh? to process a payment for 1 mth is it? so what if i delay all my bills for one month? collect money from us they are so pro, comes to payment they are so slow. they simply dun understand what the private sectors works is it.. we are rushed by the vocal school like mad. come on' its not even our fault and we are forces to face it and get haunted by the music school everyday. can't they bloody process the cheque in one week? are they so bloody slow in all payment? can anybody tolerate that?&lt;div

alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haemie (Shine's korean friend too), Shine and Me! ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm.... it was spectaculous..... think theres abt 10K ppl in the service!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everything there was soooo professional! from the sound, the lights, the videoman, the ushering, the choir, the band, the worship leader.... everything was like a corporate thingy.. the christmas drama was more like a concert.. corporate musical...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sermon by Pastor Kong Hee was good too.. easy to understand and right to the point..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the service, i join Shine and his cell group for the carnival organise by CHC also.. they booked a hall beside and held a carnival there.. its more of like pasar malam.. where there's all the rides and food.. haha and we played bumper car!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

MIC .......... ACF ........CIP..... performance.........chalet........ never ending......... but at least i think i nv wasted any time during this one month break compared to those 4  mths break..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am also happy cos at least i managed to clear my CIP!!! and i am so glad i took part in this red cross CIP.. i think its so meaningful and i did learn something cos i gain quite alot of knowledge abt blood donation, and i learn how to improve sales skills!! lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i got to know some real good friends!&lt;br /&gt;one of them is Felicia..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01701.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. she is the champion for Virtuoso 06 Group category lor...... she's so pretty and cute. yar no wonder she's one of the top donor recruiter in the event...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my fellow MIC performers together with the cute blood buddy!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01624.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a performing experience at Dhoby Ghaut NEL station!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01668.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and of course, i went for my first-in-my-life............. blood donation!!!! but was so sad that i had to went thr it all alone... cos initially Felicia went with me, but she was rejected cos she had a little operation recently so she can donate blood......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but nonetheless, it was a great experience.. the people i saw who donated blood also includes yew wei, Vanessa and her Bf, Jovina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;blood donation is really PAINLESS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;despite the size of the needle that u see here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01710.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;scary leh...... it took me 2 days to come to this decision to donate leh...  but our trainer from the bloodbank told us that on average people take 1 year to consider their first donation. hmmm... so i guess i am still not the worst, in fact i am fast! cos before that i really think also wont think of donating blood... i am how scare of pain!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since it was my first time, i was given this sticker....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01735.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my pkt of blood when it just started.. yup and its already abt half full..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01705.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;trying hard to get a pic of my blood with me........ its gonna leave me soon.. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01706.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;during the blood donation............ do i look scared?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01707.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my pkt of blood when its full!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01709.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the whole actual blood donation takes only about 15 mins...... yar so its not that long as i used to think it would be.. but the whole waiting process from the registration to doctor's examination to waiting to be "poked" take me 2 hours!! haiz.. well thou its so long, i still want to donate blood there.. cos i heard ppl say that those nurse at the bloodbank are not experienced one.. they often cant find ur veins and will make u pain.. but during this blood donation drive, i see that all the volunteers are aunties and uncles that are super experienced..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup and another reason y i wanna donate blood during this donation drive is cos of this cute photo that will be given to every donor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01738.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha this makes my first donation so memorable.. with the event frames and date..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after the blood donation, i was bandaged with this striking bandage and was given 2 weeks of iron tablets..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01713.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha and the next day this is my wound of the donation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01731.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway after the donation drive, all of us went to Jerena's BD party.. it was at the super ulu part near Sembawang.. i think it was really the uluest chalet i seen.. its at the NSF Hometeam chalet..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was so ulu and thanks elvin's uncle was kind enuff to give all of us a ride in.. but was on a lorry.. its all our first time sitting behind the lorry.. so we got so high and took a few pics lol..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/DSC01634.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;group pic!!

I'm doing this event call the "A Truly Magical Christmas" blood donation drive organised by the Red Cross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was our training. the training is quite fun and i would say that the cip hours are quite slack man. basically in the morning we went for an excursion to the NEWater plant(in appreciation for their sponsor of NEWater).. then in the afternoon the staff from the Red Cross is suppose to come down and teach us how to approach the public, but that lady is late. and is damn late. the class suppose to start 3pm, but she only reach at 4.30pm... luckily the organising committee has something to keep us entertained. they showed Tom &amp; Jerry.. lol... claim cip hours for watching tom &amp;amp; jerry.. how rocks rite?! but anyway all of us soon found that we had an overdose of tom and jerry after the first 30 mins of it. trust me, watching nearly 2 hours of tom and jerry can drive u mad lor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway today is the awareness drive. we are divided into different teams. i joined the team that go to harbourfront. yeah........ the rest of the teams all hang around Dhoby Ghaut. asking people to donate blood is tough!!!!! i stood there the whole day and i think i only collected about 10 contact numbers. some people are just rude. i was so angry with some when before i started saying anything they say "No thanks".. wth lor. i say "sorry, but do u know what am i going to tell you?" "no. no thanks" and i got mad with this stupid indian woman. i was so tired and piss off. I am just a little volunteer. and she give me that kind of face and attitude. anyway i realise all the indians are in 2 extremes. either they are very interested in blood donation, like most of them will just sign up with u; the other group will do this to u. wats wrong with them lor....... argh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will still be doing it tomorrow... should be still at harbourfront station.... come look for me.. =p&lt;br /&gt;and if better, come and sign up with me k.... donate blood during this festive season ba..... your blood can save 3 lives. and blood donation is not painful as you will be given a localised pain-killer on ur arm before the donation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the donation drive will held on 15-16 December, which is next friday and saturday. from 12pm to 6pm. seee yaa there!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-116559752757857188?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/116559752757857188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=116559752757857188' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116559752757857188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116559752757857188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/12/cip-time.html' title='CIP time'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-116400729753353652</id><published>2006-11-19T23:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-20T15:21:37.903+08:00</updated><title type='text'>my new hair!</title><content type='html'>had a new hair cut and colour again.  and this time went to the hair salon with dar :)&lt;br /&gt;and had a pre-xmas photo taking session heee...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage-3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-116400729753353652?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/116400729753353652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=116400729753353652' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116400729753353652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116400729753353652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-new-hair.html' title='my new hair!'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-116383133294437338</id><published>2006-11-18T11:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-18T14:31:10.690+08:00</updated><title type='text'>beware of a china pervert in SMU</title><content type='html'>we were still all traumatised by the pervert catching incident that happened after our Music east and west concert yesterday..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the concert were held at the T-junction (outside OCBC) and we were all sitting on the stairs.. then actually i've noticed this man standing on top, outside 7-11 who kept pointing his hp at us, instead of the stage.. happily doing it throughout the whole concert, 2 hrs throughout... its rather obvious that he's taking pic or video of us. i din really take it to heart then cos i saw that we were all not-so-skimpy dressed.. so i dun think he got much to take also.. but towards the end when we were all noticing that there's this guy there (although we din tell each other), some of us felt uncomfortable about it so one of us went to approach him to ask him what pic is he taking. He refused to show us and he walked away.. so some of us chased after him and some of us went to get guys.. i was with the gals who went to look for some guys.. after that we went to look for the other gals who chased after the pervert..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that pervert was actually quite stupid to lock himself in booklink.. dunno why he stepped inside booklink also.. so when we got there with the guys, we went in and ask him to show us his phones. but he refused.. in the end, i say we have alot of eye witnesses seeing u taking pic of us, and yet u refused to show us. this only increase our suspisions about u.. if like that we call the police.. we can see this his hand is trembling.. and btw, he's a cheena man who speaks rotten english. looks exactly a pervert, skinny, wear a round framed spec, in long sleeve shirt and pants. and yar he's not a student, neither is he a staff of SMU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, in the end i decided to go to the command centre and ask security guards for help since they can arrive faster anyway. so he had no choice but to let us touch his hp only when the security guards were there.. but everything is too late. we are too stupid to forgot ask him leave his hp on the table. he had deleted everything when the securities arrived. i was so angry! this kind of ppl must put them behind the bars lor. anyway since the pics are not there liao but i just sacre that he had sent them out before deleting them... haiz. anyway i think i had the most direct head on argument with him among the gals. haha then marcus say i had to be careful later he come and seek revenge on me later. come to think of it, quite scary hor. but then wats done is done.. i regret not asking the security guard during the concert! shud have caught him red-handed. argh..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway on another note, went for my church prac last night.. haha after sho long since i last went second service man.. had been going to the traditional first service cos i always have proj meetings on sun. tink i nv go second service for a month so.. so many things change, they changed a new laptop, guitar strap also changed, and stream of praise had a new album also. seems like i haven been there for a year like that.. and also due to a long time since i touch a guitar, skin on my fingers had soften. argh.. and after the practice, i am shocked to see 3 blisters on my fingers on my right hand. so PAIN when i typed this blog!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/collage1-3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-116383133294437338?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/116383133294437338/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=116383133294437338' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116383133294437338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116383133294437338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/11/beware-of-china-pervert-in-smu.html' title='beware of a china pervert in SMU'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-116367390854809793</id><published>2006-11-16T18:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-16T18:45:08.560+08:00</updated><title type='text'>catch joyce presenting in chinese!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0kKNr548rPc"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0kKNr548rPc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-116367390854809793?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/116367390854809793/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=116367390854809793' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116367390854809793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116367390854809793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/11/catch-joyce-presenting-in-chinese.html' title='catch joyce presenting in chinese!!'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-116355987094870941</id><published>2006-11-15T10:47:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-15T11:04:31.266+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Strategy semi-over!</title><content type='html'>yeah.. haha yup after yesterday last presentation for Strategy, my group went to have a feast at the school TCC!!

(wth) &amp;amp; men's biggest size is only Small. (wth square). we are rather disappointed, cos we really like one of the jacket very much, and thought that it will be even more meaningful if we could get them on this special day. however, they dun have the right sizes, so we shall wear on the under-sized jackets and take a picture with them.. hahaa.. anyway when we left the store, the store assistant suggest that we make a trip down to their suntec store cos there might be stock over there..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/jacket.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when we finally met aries, we're off to our dinner place.. with regards to the venue, dar kept his mouth sealed right till the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was as excited as a little gal when i was there.

I am not happy. cos after swimming, des and i went over to bras basah jack's place, wanted to eat the student meal. but now the student meal is only available to primary and secondary school students. pui... make us walk all the way there... and worst is the set lunch is also over... so i thought y should we still be eating there? haha so we just stand up and walk off... so now the only place with good set meals is at 3nines. but i went there on monday they were close. i hope they are only close on that day and not close for good....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok thirdly. Elvin told me he's signed up for the work and travel USA. he say the registration deadline is sat... which is 7oct... I dunno how.. there's quite a no of things that are holding me back... well firstly is MIC. cos we always have lots of planning during the summer. we'll have election, then hand over, then plan for next vivace, next virtuoso, club activities for next sem and stuffs... i dunno should i just leave jessie alone to all these... and secondly is i dunno should i do a internship. cos this will at least give me a taste of working in a corporate world.. and most likely to secure a better job when i grad. anyway my mum say if i can get a high pay job(&gt;$2500) then go for it.. and now my mum's friend, who's working in an investment bank says the job market for this year is very good and the fresh grads that they are taking in are taking home $3500 and above as starting pay and she keep asking if i wanna go for internship at her company... this is so tempting. then of cos desmond will be an issue too... 3 mths shuo chang bu chang shuo duan bu duan.... i really dunno....... and now we have to make decision and commit to it liao! haiz how? anyway who is interested to go?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-116005471317698257?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/116005471317698257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=116005471317698257' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116005471317698257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/116005471317698257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-dunno-what-title-to-put-after.html' title='i dunno what title to put after thinking for 3 mins'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-115963659299942286</id><published>2006-10-01T01:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-01T03:23:19.020+08:00</updated><title type='text'>this thing rocks!</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://apps.rockyou.com/rockyou.swf?instanceid=40168301&amp;ver=060913" quality="high" salign="lt" wmode="transparent" name="rockyou" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="435" width="580"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com?type=slideshow&amp;amp;refid=40168301"&gt;&lt;img title="RockYou slideshow" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/logo-mini.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/viewslideshow.php?instanceid=40168301"&gt;&lt;img title="View More" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/icons/view.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/addfavorite.php?instanceid=40168301"&gt;&lt;img title="Add to Favorite" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/icons/add_favorite.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/viewslideshow.php?instanceid=40168301&amp;action=rate"&gt;&lt;img title="Rate Me" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/icons/rate_me.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/viewslideshow.php?instanceid=40168301&amp;amp;action=email"&gt;&lt;img title="Email &amp; Share" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/icons/email.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/viewslideshow.php?instanceid=40168301&amp;amp;action=note"&gt;&lt;img title="Add Note" src="http://apps.rockyou.com/images/icons/comment.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_BLANK" href="http://www.rockyou.com/slideshow-create.php?refid=40168301"&gt;Create Your Own!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;eh.. i come across this accidentally and love it so much. then upon study every single part of this 'rockyou' thingy, i think there's a function that Joyce must use. its call the scratcher. lol.... joyce, u can use it for unglam pics of the unfortunates, then we shall scratch and reveil whos the unfortunate one everyday.

I soon noticed&lt;br /&gt;that the new program began unexpected child processing that  took up a&lt;br /&gt;lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0  installed&lt;br /&gt;itself into all other programs and now monitors all other  system&lt;br /&gt;activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0,  Hunting&lt;br /&gt;and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0  in the background while attempting to&lt;br /&gt;run my favorite applications. I'm  thinking about going back to&lt;br /&gt;Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work  on Wife 1.0. Please&lt;br /&gt;help!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Troubled  User.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REPLY:&lt;br /&gt;Dear Troubled  User&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very common  problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many men upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that  it is&lt;br /&gt;just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an  OPERATING&lt;br /&gt;SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is  also&lt;br /&gt;impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It  is&lt;br /&gt;impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the  system&lt;br /&gt;once installed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because  Wife 1.0 is designed to&lt;br /&gt;not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual  under&lt;br /&gt;Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife  1.0&lt;br /&gt;and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing  the&lt;br /&gt;background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software  augmentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best course of action is to enter the command  C:\APOLOGIZE because&lt;br /&gt;ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command  before the&lt;br /&gt;system will return to normal anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wife 1.0 i s a great  program, but it tends to be very high&lt;br /&gt;maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with  several support programs, such as&lt;br /&gt;Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do  Bills 4.2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper  use will&lt;br /&gt;cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5 and/or PMS  99.0.&lt;br /&gt;Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of  Wife&lt;br /&gt;1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1  and&lt;br /&gt;Diamonds 5.0!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install  Secretary With&lt;br /&gt;Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0  and&lt;br /&gt;will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of  luck,&lt;br /&gt;Tech Support&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-115781513632209985?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/115781513632209985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=115781513632209985' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/115781513632209985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/115781513632209985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/09/lol-reminds-me-of-my-poly-days-lingo.html' title='LOL... reminds me of my poly days lingo..'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-115745009727110759</id><published>2006-09-05T17:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-09-06T00:16:23.440+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Market Spoilers</title><content type='html'>Just finish my Strategy class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;met the worst market spoilers i seen in SMU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its only 3rd week of school, and today was the first presentation group of my strategy class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, for my strategy class, it works in a way where each project group is a consultancy firm.

And I am glad i am in the M&amp;amp;S (Marketing and Sales) department. good for resume! hahaha despite the stupid work that i am doing.. read on.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my job is that basically if u bet soccer with singapore pools, above $30, you get a scratch card. and if u win something, u may claim your winnings with any betting centre. then these betting centre will claim the winnings from singapore pools. then I will need to process the claims and verify them...... erm.. maybe not verify, but just the first-checker, my sup is the one who verify..&lt;br /&gt;so i am the one who is the first line qc, remove any staples if the betting centre return them with staples... and put them in a certain order before passing them to my sup..... then before that, i need to sign to endorse. so one day i think i can sign like dunno how many hundreds times.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well maybe i shall follow Joyce's style abit. LOL..... complain about some idiotic people at work in order to take it all out of my body. hahahah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok lah.. actually not very bad or wat, cant be compared with those that appeared in her blog.. (but dunno the situation she mentioned are exaggerated or not)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway theres this betting centre, at cheers Upp Changi.. from the first week (meaning first week of world cup, as spore pools doing this scratch card only for the world cup), they had been pasting each and every winning ticket on a piece of a4 paper. They had been told that they should bunndle everything together with a rubber band instead, but they forgot. so my sup called them up to tell them not to do that again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then the second week, the same thing happen again. and its even more tickets. meaning i have to take out the tickets from the scotchtape one by one more tediously. and best of all, they did so much and forgot to attach their claim form with their signature and shop stamp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now the third week. and again. I dunno whats up with this shop lor...... and its freaking abt more than 120 tickets that i need to tear down carefully one by one in order not to destroy them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can someone tell me where is cheers upp changi? argghhhhh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and on another note, i realise ppl reacted quite uneasy when they learn abt my job at spore pools. everybody thot i go and do counter girl and sell bets is it?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;leng..... then now when pple ask me what i work, I must say the whole line "singapore pools ADMIN".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yar forgot to add that i was too busy to blog is also partly cos my mum bought 2 new korean series again and is watching them nowadays. anyway after finish watching that [这该死的爱], i also watched [豪杰春香](sassy girl- no no not that movie) and my mum recently bought [我的女孩] and  [我的名字叫金三顺]. well... so far i think [豪杰春香] is the best.... not as boring and slow paced. haha a point to note is that in [我的女孩], theres a character looks super alike with vanesse. ermm spelling like bit wrong.. but i mean the vanesse who act in Liu xing hua yuan.. just that he's abt 1size smaller than him. in [我的女孩], he also act as a rich family's son....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/20051215164301883102.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-115186428281130107?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/115186428281130107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=115186428281130107' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/115186428281130107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/115186428281130107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/07/new-tagboard.html' title='New tagboard.'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-115019274942760628</id><published>2006-06-13T16:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-23T01:53:00.286+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Work Work Work!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOTE: wrote this post sometime ago and save as draft.. haha also dunno its saved as draft.. and forgot abt it.. so now then posted it up..........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah! finally got a job!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha actually this holidays i haven been  trying hard to look for job.. basically I am just waiting for my previous employer, Schneider, to give me a temp job. cos their pay is good.. yar.. so the schneider pay is my "RP-Resistant Point", as well as my "TP-Target Point".. haha from my nego for biz course..... so its sort of like anything below $8/hr, i am not really willing to do.... haha.. rather stay at home and slack......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. this job that i am getting.. it's abit exceptional case.. anyway the pay is $7/hr.. and the lobang is from Sophia. Last week, she sms me to email to her superior my resume.. actually I wasn't sure if I shud send or not.. cos I still think that I should wait for news from schneider. haha but in the end, at the late night at 2am, I finally think that Schneider dun really want me anymore, and decided to send in my resume.

I can't even remember the last time i saw them! well thou after secondary, we went to the same poly, but due to different courses, we seldom see each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;time really flies, and realise how long i have known Sophia.. more than 10 years.. haha one of my longest friend. still remember I knew her back in a tuition centre when we were in Primary 5. I was always a quiet little gal since young, maybe due to lack of siblings and also frequent change of environment at my young age, therefore leading me a little introvert. So, I did not have much friends at the tuition centre back then. But dunno y i will always remember Sophia. After not long, can't remember who was the one who left the tuition centre, and before I could ask for a contact number, one of us is gone. During that time, gone is really gone. No emails, no blogs, no hp, no msn... no way we can contact. however, we met again coincidentaly at our secondary school during one recess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always remember Sophia as the sweet little girl(maybe cos she pretti so I will never forget her.. LOL). and very hardworking too! but dunno y she will always get v nervous during exam and will get not-so-satisfying scores during exam despite studying so hard for them. well, after about 3 years since we grad from poly and haven met her, she's still as sweet and pretti as ever, and still as hardworking studying at SIM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we met after my organ lesson at about 12.45pm. as usual, Hui is forever late. lol... and cos i need to check out the close circuit camera at my dad's shop, so we head down to Far East Plaza first. Haha, but I couldnt really solve the problem (expected), so i decided to join them for shopping at level1.. din buy much, except for the pearl necklace.. it was cheap! 1 for $5 and buy 2 get 1 free. so in the end i bought 2 and sophia bought 1 and we each pay only $3.30..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;beside shopping at far east, we also went to visma atria. Afterwhich we went to have our lunch at the newly open Pepper Lunch Express at the Douby Ghaut XChange in the MRT station. haha thou it was newly open, but it was my 2nd time there. I really love Pepper Lunch! But cannot eat so much cos its rice... *pout* Pepper Lunch Express is great! cos they serve the mini pepper lunch, which is a rather small portion, and make me less guilty after eating it.. haha! and it is also relatively cheaper than the normal pepper lunch.. about half the price only. Sophia and Hui haven tried before, so bring them there..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after lunch, we decided to sit down and have a coffee chit chat and we went to the TCC and surprisingly, is the TCC at SMU! haha finally, since we moved to the city campus for 1 year, this is the first time i step into my school's TCC! Had a great nice chat, and of cos took our pictures!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/SHF1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Me &amp; Sophia. wearing our newly bought pearls....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/SHF4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Hui hui &amp; I. love this pic... but too bad it's a bit to the left...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/SHF6.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;Sophia &amp;amp; Huihui.. taken by me...... nice shot right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All pics taken using my pink Nokia 6111 by the way....... the pic are small cos pics on my blog will only look good if they are small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway after our TCC Taitai Tea time, Sophia need to go report for work. and i see that since desmond will be knocking off in 2 hours time, i might as well go PC show walk walk and wait for him. Huihui is nice to accompany me! find this time PC show like nothing much.. maybe cos the previous one is a market spoiler.. 3 levels PC show.... so this round is only 1 level, kind of like only 1 third of what we had experience from the previous one....... haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;however, still manage to caught some gadges that I am dying to own...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;firstly is the canon IXUS 65... so thin! and the screen is so big!! Love it so much!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;next is the new nokia N72. really love the pink one! haiz.. but this phone is only for show at the PC show, not for sale. des says will only launch in Jul/Aug... hmm..

To make things worse, a rich man fall in love with her and release to the media that he want to marry her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rain's brother was very sad and he accidently fell off the building and became a vegetable man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rain wanted to revenge for his brother as he &lt;span style="display: inline;" id="vidDescRemain"&gt;believed that the girl had deserted his brother, led him to fall down from the house building and become a vegetable. And he started his perfect plan of revenge with starting to be the girl's bodyguard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he did not realise that its impossible to love a person deliberately and its even more impossible to stop loving a person anyhow when you have started loving the person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in the end he fell in love with the person that he wanted to take revenge for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the very end, I dun quite understand cos the environment actually permits them to be couple, but rain actually died in the end..... and the most amusing thing is he died of cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, on the flip side, I love the songs in the show alot alot alot.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;all the songs are damn nice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/main_04.gif" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;going to find the OST now! ciao!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-114910103034031377?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/114910103034031377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=114910103034031377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/114910103034031377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/114910103034031377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/06/blog-post.html' title='这该死的爱'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-114836293933696992</id><published>2006-05-23T11:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-23T13:46:59.973+08:00</updated><title type='text'>lazy pig is back again.....</title><content type='html'>haha........ have been realli lazing around since i am back from xiamen last monday..

finallly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;initially it was quite exp... its $8 for a luge ride and a skyride.... but des's friend got the islander.. which reduce our tic to onli $5... then i feel its quite worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sky ride that we took to a higher place so that we can start the luge......&lt;br /&gt;the scenary is nice!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/skyride1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/skyride3.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/skyride4.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and after the skyride we proceed on to our luge.. haha its not as difficult to control as i think. at first i thot there's no brake.. and the luge will just go on and on and on....&lt;br /&gt;haha but in the end realise that u can actually brake...&lt;br /&gt;the luge ride is actually quite short.. and if u prefer trails.. then the ride will end even faster. so des and I choose to make the ride longer by going slower and even stop awhile for a pic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/luge1.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/luge2.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-114836293933696992?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/114836293933696992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=114836293933696992' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/114836293933696992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/114836293933696992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2006/05/lazy-pig-is-back-again.html' title='lazy pig is back again.....'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855967.post-114694517913800873</id><published>2006-05-06T23:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-05-07T03:52:59.210+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Half-Yearly wedding</title><content type='html'>well as we grow older, definitely we will be receiving more and more wedding invitations..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i remember the last time i attended a wedding was after my last paper last sem in dec.. it was danyun's wedding...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now, half a year later, I attended another wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and realise that invitations are getting more and more creative... and SWEET!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/invitation.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is a picture of the invitation card. as you can see, its not usual envelop anymore. its a 4-flap kinda thing and is fasten by a sticker that symbolise a pair of rings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha by the way.

type='text'>I finally blogged.....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOTE!!! :: updated with more pics at 23 apr, 12.11am....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup! i finally blogged again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually the reason y i am not bloggin is bcos theres a lot of pictures involved these few days and most of them are taken in des's hp..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway let me take a review of what had happened during these few days....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Monday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, after a long shitty IE paper.. erm, actualli not realli long.. considering i have to answer 40 qn in 2hr 40 mins.. and its not 40 MCQs ok! its 40 answers ranging from 1-5 sentences..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok thats not the point.. anyway I finally can go and have my er ren shi jie with desmond.. and that day activity was totally planned by him.. ranging from what movie to watch, what time, where, and where to eat dinner... and haha... $$ blink blink.. also 100% by him.. cos he wanted me to concentrate on my IE revision, yup.. so i leave all these decisions to him and just be a princess...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we watched Inside Man at PS. wanted to watched it at the new Cathay, but the timing is quite screwed up.. and heard from joyce, she also feel that the timing is screwed up, but she insisted that its bcos er.. wat? say they want to target different market eh?? haha.. that stupid timing is just bcos nobody will watch thats y GV they all smart and dun have show at that timing la!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well for the show wise, its quite a nice show... just that if u are someone who dun like to watch show without an ending, you might find the plot's rather fei...... cos like whole thing dunno what is it talking abt... but on the whole its quite exciting.. and i lurrrvveeee trailer.. so i quite enjoy this movie..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after that we went to have a late dinner... hee.. at &lt;a class="l" href="http://www.manhattanfishmarket.com/"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Manhattan Fish Market&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;... well its another western food restaurant that somehow has the same concept as Fish &amp; Co... but i managed to find some special dishes and we ordered them.. ordered a Fried Calamari.. ok this one not realli special just that their calamari is real small in size.... then ordered a Fried country mushroom.. this one is special and nice! the sauce that comes with it is good! yummy.. hee.. then for the main course onli ordered one.. and we take the grilled dory... the dory is nice, but the buttered rice is even nicer... hmm.. i think i am getting hungry liao.. shit..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;Took a pic together while waiting for our food......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

whenever eating buffet must resort to play zhong ji mi ma to finish the food..... and felt so guilty and so comfortable after eating finish all the plates.. so long nv eat buffet until so terribe that i was having stomachache till night time......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after lunch, 4 of us, plus jessie, went to ktv.... hee... mini MIC outing...&lt;br /&gt;and realise that the Kbox for student is no more 2-7pm liao! so niao!! its onli ANY THREE HOURS.................. so niao!!!!! then the person suggest us take the K member then can sing until 7pm and order those "other than the normal drinks"...... wth... we are students and y cant we take the students package hur........ well anyway that day everybody gotta leave at ard 6pm, so in the end we took the student 3 hr package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway when des and I were on our way to harbourfront for our buffet, we board the last cabin and i had an idea of taking pics of the railway.. its so nice..... wanted to use it as a background to take a pic with des, but realise that place is too cramped, and we cant see the railway at all.. so in the end i came out of an idea........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/NEL.jpg" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha... hope its see-able..... taking pic of us in the reflection....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Friday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;des acc me went to Singapore National Eye Centre for my lasik-ed eye checkup.. yippeee.. i am discharged.. finally..... haha and my degree had improved!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well as for des, good for him to acc me so he could get more info abt lasik.... haha but i think he wanna back out after knowing how much is my check up cost....yup...... just the checkup cost alone........ today spent $63.... for a freaking 1 min consultation with the doctor....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well after that i went to the convo breifing for CCA clubs and des went for his job briefing....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my convo briefing is so fei..... its just a chance for them to recruit pple to the vacant posts..... and after the whole briefing, my conclusion is...... its biases to samba again........ and we could nv involve MIC in such event........ NEVER............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well y biases to samba?? cos this yr theme is SMU beat..... and they say they wanna get a certain beat and wanna give the freshmen 2 chopsticks so they can beat the beat with us....... *sweat*.... i pity this yr's facis.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.... des is good man...... he went for his job briefing and got hold of 3 brand new phones to use.... and all exp phone somemore..... the N91, N80 (not even launched yet!!) and 6280... the N80 is good man! the screen i like! so clear... as clear as K800.... and the camera is 3 Mega pixel!! haiz realli like that N80 so much...... but think its gonna be damn exp.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. of cos i wont miss the chance to take a pic using N80!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com"

then....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess the death really has too big an impact on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on one hand, i was glad for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they went off together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with no kids..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and they know where their souls are heading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and they had left with us good examples and good memories as what our pastor had shared with us today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and it really wakes me up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你的灵魂有被拯救吗？&lt;br /&gt;当你死的时候，你清楚知道你的灵魂会被拯救吗？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is what my mum has made me

type='text'>To Shi Zheng and Yan Ru</title><content type='html'>a few days ago, Corinne was still saying that she is afraid of exam period. not bcos of exams, but because bad things always come during exam periods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just received news today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've seen lots of news of accident or disasters on news. but this time its someone deary to me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i just couldn't accept it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;din i just chatted with her online a few days ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;din we just talked about my "major decision"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now they become "those were the days......"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is the first time i experience a direct friend leaving me..&lt;br /&gt;i din know what to do now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i din know what to do with her msn lying in my list......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i din know what to do with their handphone no. in my phonebook...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just dunno how....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel so lost......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yanru is considered my closest elder youth in my church besides huijuan. she's my appointed mentor and had been my mentor since around 3 years ago..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we had been meeting irregularly. its all due to my fault.&lt;br /&gt;despite that, she always made the effort to encourage me everytime and always gives me guildance whenever i need one from an elder. even after she left for Bahrain, we still did "online mentoring" thr msn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and everytime half way thr chatting with me, around 11pm spore time, she would tell me that she need to go prepare dinner.. and i always suan her go go.. go and be zhu fan po...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and when asked by the mentor leader if i wanted a new mentor, i just dun want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;i love her so much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;looking at notes that she gave me.... theres one i still keep it in my pocket bible.. and everytime when i open it, i would see this note.. and i just read it last sunday... it was given to me after my pow wow smu orientation camp, i remembered i had a bad cough, and she pasted this note on top of a cough lozenges and gave it to me. i was so touched. and i ate the lozenges, and take out that note and paste it in my pocket bible since then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel so regreted for not being able to meet her once during CNY when they came back...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i could only say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yanru and shizheng,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;may you rest in eternal peace.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Poly Gathering</title><content type='html'>yeAh... the blog owner is back once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well had been on bloggin hiatus bcos of various reasons..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;firstly,  theres nothing to blog abt..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;second and lastly, i got no time to blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but anyway thot that its worth bloggin abt the wonderful gathering with my poly mate yesterday and i think would be nice if i can take a look at this a year or 2 from now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. des's regular meet-ups with his poly mates (well.. he IS doing it NOW too btw..) has always been my motivation to organise gatherings with my grp of poly mates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i am that kind who will be worrying abt million of things kind of person...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so organising such a gathering actually requires me to kill many of my brain cells.. i will be worryin things like from.. what to do, what to talk, what to bring, what to eat, what to drink etc..... well u might say that alll these are redundant. but i'm just afraid of gather-failures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but, lucky that yest gathering was a fun one IN THE END. well at first its kinda leng.. expected.. everyone is indulging in things among themselves again and having small talks among few pple.. and the setting make it even more wierd. we were in a GSR..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yup.. initially i proposed to have a gathering at Mind Cafe. but the aircon there like bit small.. so its kinda warm.. plus its spending money.. and plus its always crowded and noisy... and since we are paying more and more school fees... SO.. i propose to have the gathering at one of the GSR at IS.. must gian peng school facilities more. mian and others non-smu pple welcome this idea cos smu is kinda fresh to them. and why IS.. its bcos IS is easy to smuggle pple in.. and gsr 3.3 at IS has a good view and its big enuff to hold 6-8 persons..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so u can see how much stuffs have been going thr my mind when i organise an event/outing.. must sms pple and email pple to come also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;u may say that i can dedicate. but no one will be willing to receive it... haiz i also dunno i do so much for what...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz. whatever......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well.. sianz things aside, lets see what we had on yesterday night at IS gsr 3.3!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;present: me, des, mian, min, joel, &lt;a href="http://blackdreamer.blogspot.com/"&gt;leo&lt;/a&gt;, ken, zhiwei. too bad warner cant join us. haha its his losses!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

type='text'>Deepavali</title><content type='html'>today is deepavali and as usual I am back to school for our marketing project. reminded me of a year ago when i also did whole day of project on Deepavali. was doing MA and BGS then. and one year later, i am doing projects again on Deepavali. Let's see next year Deepavali what project i will be doing HAHA!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway today started off with a surprise cos Des's LTB grp also having proj meeting at the gsr beside our gsr. we din purposely book side by side, its all coincidence. At first Eileen say want to book gsr 2.17, but then i checked and realised that gsr 2.17 is booked by someone liao, so i suggest to book 2.16, since it has the same capacity as 2.17 and everyone agreed.. well i knew Des is doing proj today at SESS as well, but then he told me his room is at gsr 2.1, but in the end when he reached and call his team mates then he realise their room is 2.17... which is the room we originally wanted to book.haha so all day long des and I have been the entertainment of all our group members. however, not long enuff, we discover another surprise. haha.. its that the desmond eileen always talked about.. bleah.. he's in des's LTB group also. so theres 2 desmonds in that his LTB group.. and we are using those gsr at SESS second level where theres a curve surface at the door there that kind, and one characteristic about this whole stretch of gsr is that its totally not sound proof. so in the end all of us having a fun time teasing one another, and our communication method is just shouting over since our rooms are just side by side.. haha i pity those who did projects near us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well other than that I am also surprised by the guy ger ratio in des LTB group. there are only 2 girls!! but there are 5 guys!! and des told me that every group in his class have this kind of ratio. well i recalled my own LTB group ratio of 2 guys to 6 girls. hmm.. so this yr cohort is really an extraordinary one.. hehe&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8855967-113085545679833372?l=francesxue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/feeds/113085545679833372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8855967&amp;postID=113085545679833372' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/113085545679833372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8855967/posts/default/113085545679833372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://francesxue.blogspot.com/2005/11/deepavali.html' title='Deepavali'/><author><name>frances_sha</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/frances055/biglove.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
