type='text'>Record purposes</title><content type='html'>Went for xray today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lungs ok.. checked.. nothing is wrong with it.. sinus checked.. got a bit blocked..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not too much affected by the acute bronchitics as diagnosed after a dose of antibiotics which doesnt have too much effect on my cough..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Started coughing before new year.. . . progressively developed into what is known as sinus now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;guess its better than bronchitis... haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;phew.. wad a relief...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cos of that i missed two events which i agreed on to attend way before the new year starts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the dinner at jumbo&lt;br /&gt;and a birthday party for a year old kid...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess its better i dun turn up for both events lest i passed my virus or germs or bacteria to people with poor immunity systemm.. like me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What i know.. if antibiotics does not clear the cough.. its means that its virus.... .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then if this last dose of anitibiotics does not work.. i have to be referred to the specialist..&lt;br /&gt;to clear away the fluid on my left side of the nose.. . and be fully recovered..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Totally no mood to work at all... ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But again.. things are still looking good for me.. haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gets lots of unexpected surprises... . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really thinking.. did the one year of night shift realli bring me down physically.. hmm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;even now when i change to the normal timing.. once i am down.. its all the way sick until got sinus.. dont used to have the prob.. it only stops at sore throat usually..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I better get myself up and  be healthy.. thinking of joining sports... .. . be in sun sweat.. eat healthy... and set some new resolution to get myself back into shape..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-8568443342833676369?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt=''

Voice went husk and cough like crazy. &lt;br /&gt;Went back to work on friday.. can only last half a day.. went back home..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following monday.. i got mc again.. cough never recover.. &lt;br /&gt;then i work from tuesday to friday still coughing....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weekend with no reason, cough turns into infection again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this time it is a slight one.. went to see doc on monday got myself some anitibiotics.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my horror, developed side effects from the antibiotics and have to stop medication. &lt;br /&gt;Went back to the doc at night, no more anti biotics given but was in return given lots of other medicine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday cough got worse.. throat gets even more painful than the first time. &lt;br /&gt;Went back to the doc. now it was the infection of the lymphs. was told that it has a possibility to develop into sinus.. and if the antibiotics nv work have to go back again.. was given another day mc on wednesday.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so again got mc.. haiz... What is the record? 7 days of mc in three weeks. until now i had like 10 days of mc already.. now it is only on the beginning of month of june.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is shitty.. the only comfort i had gotten from this whole series of illness is that i have lost weight.. i think its around 7 kg in total... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No need to spend a single cent on any weight loss program nor any effort needed to lose weight.. JUST BE SICK for goodness sake and u will lose weight.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope i will recover soon before my birthday... its coming soonx.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No mood for it totally.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what i wished for .. i want my health back... if you are asking me for now...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-1657889516816837236?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/1657889516816837236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=1657889516816837236' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/1657889516816837236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/1657889516816837236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-broke-my-record.html' title='I broke my record'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-9215361627922773075</id><published>2008-04-19T19:31:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2008-04-19T19:32:25.941-12:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>There is always sunshine after rain.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its true.. i guess i am seeing abit of sunshine now..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:):)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-9215361627922773075?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/9215361627922773075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=9215361627922773075' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/9215361627922773075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/9215361627922773075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2008/04/there-is-always-sunshine-after-rain.html' title=''/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-8466515044798023049</id><published>2008-04-13T14:45:00.002-12:00</published><updated>2008-04-13T14:52:04.737-12:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I just hope time would pass faster... the faster it can go the better..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am down with flu i suppose.. which nv went to a full blown one.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe thats y i feel v upset about my health.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Physically sick would lead to feeling mentally tired... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope its that way.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope the storm would blow over soon...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what i do and what activities i go for..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is this void that nothing seems to be really filling...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really wonder what happen... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is my zest and stuff... &lt;br /&gt;Feeling weird now..

Looking ahead at 2008?</title><content type='html'>New Year Resolution? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOw u spend ur 2007? What regrets do we have? what we hope to achieve more? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that what we are always looking at.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its somehow like the lesson of history.. Trying to avoid mistake of the past. So that history does not repeats. or Bad history does not repeat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this is called reflection.. To ensure things that we do not want to happen to ourselves again to stop. &lt;br /&gt;But to what extent could we control that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Achievements that is built on things that doesnt last.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wanted a better pay rise, better working prospects, better results or building on material needs like a car or a LCD tv.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working empowers you. You become independent individual with consumption power. &lt;br /&gt;Spending on weekends, spend on your needs and wants. You just spend and spend. &lt;br /&gt;or its called splurge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what i am looking for ahead in 2008. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile i would just continue my current lifestyle. &lt;br /&gt;Life is about hope and reality. Reconciliating between what you hope and what you get in reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always need to strike a balance between both. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got my best christmas ever this year, its my driving license.&lt;br /&gt;This is a gift to myself. At least there is no more need to take on lessons and after that having to struggle to work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope i could find some spare time to learn some thai boxing. &lt;br /&gt;Taking it as a form of exercise. Need to sweat it all out. &lt;br /&gt;Current lifestyle too unhealthy.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope i could take thai lesson and master the language. And maybe get some sort of certificates or wadever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope i could find my passion, purpose and drive for the nxt year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something that could be sincerely found within the heart and not what is being socialised and made to conform. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats all for the new year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for 2007, it marks the beginning of my adulthood. Bitter, sweet, victory, loss.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think its the process of really growing up.

I still dunno wad is happening but strangely, the person who left the position which i am filling now actually emailed me and tell me a lot of strange things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cant help and stop to wonder wads her motive. Maybe i should not think too much and just take things at the surface value.. Alrite.. i shall take a step at a time and see wad to do.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway i really do feel quite relax this week. haha.. went for clubbing on wed night.. hahaah whahahah... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its been so long since i went.. really enjoyed the night and getting a bit tipsy.. haha.. In short.. quite high after some drinks..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guessed its the first time i drink so much... and maybe get a little too high.. &lt;br /&gt;haha.. let me count... 2 shots 1 teq pop 1 screwdriver and 1 vodka cranberry and take some sips of gin tonic and vodka redbull... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find that its easy to know ppl in clubs as the whole atmosphere is so relaxing and ya.. everyone do let themselves go and ppl seems to be letting their guard down.. No need to care about office politics saying the wrong things and offending ppl.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everything were friendly.. friendly smiles.. talks.. smiles.. and shaking your asses and head off.. haha.. BUt then with 3 hours of sleep and having to work till late the nxt day is just horrendous. I wonder how ghastly i looked like. hah..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i am happy.. really happy and relaxed.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know i cant do this too often.. my job simply requires too much attention and concentration.

type='text'>前者后者</title><content type='html'>I would highly recommand people to go watch the local film &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美满人生 by WOffle Wu.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its a v nice show and i really think it sets our mind on the thinking mode&lt;br /&gt;of wad is the deeper meaning of life. I think somehow or another, the scenes &lt;br /&gt;remind u something that is so happening in ur life right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most unforgetable sentences of the movie which i really really like is below. &lt;br /&gt;It is in a setting betw a singapore man and a china woman where they talk.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing undecent but this sentence really struck me.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你们是为了钱而放弃理想， 做自己不想做的事，&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 而我们是为了有钱去实现理想去做我们不想做的事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;前者与后者 到底是谁比较可悲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而自己是属于哪一者？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway i really think this movie is worth the time.

THat thing costs!!!! blame it on my untidiness or wadever... but i really cant find that damn hairband!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;I am so frustrated... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO photos are taken for the whole trip cos it is purely dedicated for shopping.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What i can say is that there is only a certain amount of things we can buy, we can never finished buying all the stuff that we wanted. There is simply too much things out there that eventually, the issue boils down to wad we want and wad we need.. the same rules applies to shopping also.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wad a crazy frenzy we are in.. some sort of like professional shopper, from 1 - 8 pm walking looking seeing buying.. the whole process continues for 4 days.... This is really crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of cos some of the stuff there are definately cheaper.. that explains the irrational behavior... and lacy stuff.. i got some... trying to break new grounds here... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need lots of luck and well wishes now... looking for the first job in my life and it is getting exciting..  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, i am back to reality after the whole trip ends..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-114792993796775747?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/114792993796775747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=114792993796775747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114792993796775747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114792993796775747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/05/inertia-for-long-period-of-time.html' title='Inertia for long period of time'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-114638857878191682</id><published>2006-04-29T21:11:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-04-29T21:16:18.820-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Erm.....

Hmm..&lt;br /&gt;On second thoughts.. maybe i would rather i not get the chance to vote then i shalll go to an overseas trip then..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stupid date to have election if it clashes with the date i want to go abroad... but it be ok as long as i dun have to vote..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway .. i do not paid much attention to the politics in local scene nor abroad..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I maybe the political apathetic youth that most ppl would be talking about..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having seen the talk betw the MM and the youth advertisement on tv.. though i haven finished seeing the whole program.... I think its a great opportunity for youth to voice out their view..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUt to me i think its disheartening to see how the follow up of the issues went... saw a short advertisemnt on the discussion on whether the talk that had taken place... the youth have been rude......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMG!!!!! Its so funny.. first u want ppl to ask then other ppl complain that these ppl are rude...&lt;br /&gt;But the point is not this.. Y a discussion on political one would go on to a moral issue of whether they are rude...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the focus should be on the issues that these young ppl brought up ....&lt;br /&gt;A following up program on that would be more encouraging to the health of the political state we are..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good heavens.. where are we actually going to this way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway it doesnt matter that much when i still have 4 more papers to go...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The south asian paper down... 4 more to go... i gonna work harder thinking of "y religion" the essay topic for one of the modules rather than all these unrelated issues..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am v bored again.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dun think i am awake yet... haha..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-114569574313051592?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/114569574313051592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=114569574313051592' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114569574313051592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114569574313051592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/04/trying-to-act-political-awaking-post.html' title='A trying to act political awaking post of mine'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-114547048972907163</id><published>2006-04-19T05:58:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-04-19T06:14:49.866-12:00</updated><title type='text'>A cold joke</title><content type='html'>I have created a cold joke in chinese to entertain myself during this exam period..&lt;br /&gt;Inspiration from one of my friend's nick..&lt;br /&gt;but i am too lazy to use the chinese software and shall translate it to english instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THink i would be v bad but then i just wanna share a stupid cold joke&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the nick: If we are in Africa, would u ride on a camel with me to see a lion preying on a zebra?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME: Y is it that u are riding a camel in africa?&lt;br /&gt;         Lion and zebra cannot be found in desert assuming that camel can only be found in desert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friend: then wad u think i should use?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME: U should use elephant.

Anyway it doesnt matter..... I get my engine start nxt week.. I will do it yeah!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haizz.... it just feel so stupid and not right when i am supposed to study and all i can do everyday is to daze and gaze....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK i think i shall share a cockroach story....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is once this gal whom i know, lets called her cockroach cos i think shes got a face like one.. but the main prob is that i just dun like this gal... Its not that she has ever offended me... she did absolutely nothing of that sort.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean i feel like she is the kind of gal that i kan bu shun yan.... for no apparent reason... I never know that one can dun like the sight of another for no reason.... She is the first one i came across.... and sad to say some of the friends around me also share the same sentiment....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing how outcasted she is.. i do feel a bit sorry for her and so when she talk to me.. i responded more than merely a nod or shaking my head.... thats when my nightmare starts......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She started to stick to me.. thinking that i can be one of her friends... (this is wad i assume cos no one else really bothered with her)  OMG.... This is not wad i expected... and soon i avoided her like she is a plague..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the truth is i really dun like talking to her nor hearing her talk.... I got no interest at all.... I can take it when people talk non stop of topic i have no interest in but then i really dun like to hear her out.... Soon i revert back to respond by nodding or even dun look at her when she talk to me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know at this time people will find me bad but the point is that I really really cant take it.. I dun like her.. And its not me who feel this way..... all the others finds her irritating too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have u all ever meet some people u just dun like for no apparent reason... or there is just someone who is unpopular with everyone.... Then there will be time when u be kind enough to acknowledge her presence and in the end she stick to u like a fly and no matter wad u do.... she will just not back off.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually for my case.. i took quite a long time to get rid of her and stop her incessant talking.. Its the end of the first three months..haha....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok thats the end of the story, I am bo liao........ talking history...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gonna pei yang mood for studying..... sianzz.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-114503020865253699?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/114503020865253699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=114503020865253699' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114503020865253699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/114503020865253699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-am-very-bored.html' title='I am very Bored'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-114489752378161684</id><published>2006-04-12T14:57:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-04-12T15:05:23.793-12:00</updated><title type='text'>My last lesson</title><content type='html'>As far as i can remember.. i think my last lesson as a student ended on a tuesday evening at 6 pm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing out of the blue happen and as usual i am late for my lessons..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dun realli feel extremely happy nor sad over this..

You will still belive cos u have faith in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe wad she had said could be true.But then can this be termed as blind faith?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when i start to question that n tried to accept some things...&lt;br /&gt;There is always something thats there to remind me after all that i just cant take that path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe when i claimed that i have no faith n religion... I am quite wrong most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;Cos somehow when i think of changing to another route, there would be reminders after all.&lt;br /&gt;I guess this may be fate, i do have a faith after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway,  i really cant believe that in another three weeks time, the term would end.&lt;br /&gt;This meant two things&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Exam is coming&lt;br /&gt;2) I am graduating&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How fast can three years passed like this.

I wonder when is the last time i ever sleep so much.... there goes my weekend....&lt;br /&gt;Ok i include around an hour or so that was spent online and lazing on bed watching tv..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUt then my planned weekend of visiting the career talk on CFA and a friend bday celebration goes burst.&lt;br /&gt;My sunday tuition cancelled which means i have to wait for one more week before i can proceed to get payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is certainly funny.. I remember only sleeping for less than 9 hrs combined for my thurs and fri. THen on Sat n sun.. i think i slept more than 24 hrs for the two days. And recalling last weekend where i had my night cycling.. or wadever.. The Point IS I WASTED MY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, when u are sick on weekend u start to think about stupid things..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wad do people mean when they say&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"DON'T MIND"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey wanna go to the blar blar blar  today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Don't mind going"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What exactly do people mean when they say these two words..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) I have no better suggestion so anything that was raised, I don't mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Actually I dun realli like the idea but then since I cant come up with any better idea so i just agree and don't mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I dun want to go but then since its u who ask for the companionship, i don't mind going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) I just cant be bothered about such stuff so any suggestion made is a decision so go on with it.. carry on. i don't mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) I really don't mind going, there is no underlying meaning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANd therefore quit thinking so much about the reply of these two words..&lt;br /&gt;DONT MIND!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess when people are sick, they get v bo liao.. when i am sick i am bo liao too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while u guys are out there enjoying ur weekend. I am in a half awake state of thinking about Don't mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is monday, I have yet to recover.

Please give some suggestions to the new template haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actuallly there is a lot of things i wanna share nowadays but then i just dunno where to start from..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe i try coming up with a chinese post one day, i think sometimes chinese words can be more aptly in describing the things i wanna say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think i better go off to study now....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-113966379142573747?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/113966379142573747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=113966379142573747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113966379142573747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113966379142573747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/02/new-template.html' title='New template..'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-113941888159757484</id><published>2006-02-08T05:03:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-02-08T05:14:41.636-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Annual Event</title><content type='html'>I went for my first run of the year today. THe best thing about it is that i think i ran around 4 k which is a remarkable stunt. Of cos i did walk but i think i certainly completed the 2.4 k below 30 mins haha....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seldom go running and the last time i ran was so long ago... think its been a year.. I think after jc ended, running becomes an annual event for me. The first one i did was like 2 years ago on the east coast.. I ran a long stretch though to some it may not seem to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last year one i did was around the tracks in sch. I spent an hour running plus jogging n walking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wahaha i felt so proud of myself today... Thanks to fei.. i realise that you are always there when i did my annual run haha..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i think the run has taken its effect slowly... i can feel the strain in my muscles.. Hope i be fine by friday.... I dun want to be bothered too much by the muscleache. The good thing is that i felt completely detoxified. Having to sweat it all out makes me feel comfortable. But i really hope that i can find activities that can make me sweat without having to run too much.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-113941888159757484?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/113941888159757484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=113941888159757484' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113941888159757484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113941888159757484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/02/annual-event.html' title='Annual Event'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-113879975621378854</id><published>2006-02-01T01:06:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-02-01T01:15:56.226-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Holiday over</title><content type='html'>The long new year break was over before i could even salvage the best moment of it.. hehe......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated i am realli not suitable for morning lessons..&lt;br /&gt;For the 8 am lecture.. the first thing a friend saw me said..

People just gamble and start asking and talking about wad is happening in the past one year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i really find it hard to talk so much to people i hardly see more than once a year..... haha.. they are so familar and yet so far apart from ur life.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are slowly piling up and i gonna have to clear them out....

I din realised that its this weekend.. though i am always ranting about wanting to shop for clothes for new year.. haha&lt;br /&gt;In the end it is those who went with me to shop getting the clothes..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway during one of the lectures that i attended.. i came upon a new phrase.. Gross National Happiness..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe me i am not joking... there is this place named Bhutan where it is not so developed yet... though for most country where the govt are concerned about their economy and the (GDP)  Gross National /Domestic  Product, this place actually focuses on the spritual health of the people there....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it is rather interesting..... Gross National Happiness. if there is ever any chance i would visit the place i would certainly like it a lot.. however they do charge tourist a fee when they visit and they count it by the number of days u spent there... Touring there meant that i would have to spend a bomb N it also means that the place is not so open to the tourist. I think it is their way of controlling the visitors to the place in hope of preserving most of their culture...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that this week morning lesson that i have. i be able to survive through... its now like 2 am and tmr i have lesson at 10 am which means that i have to wake up at 8 plus.... I hate morning lessons.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLus this sem i got a lecture at 8 AM in the morning.... I think i am crazy... i think those who knew me also would feel that same way.... wads worse is that its a language lecture.... I hope i can stay awake for the lessons and not stoned....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-113795252337804355?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/113795252337804355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=113795252337804355' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113795252337804355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113795252337804355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2006/01/inertia.html' title='Inertia'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-113691005497252598</id><published>2006-01-10T04:05:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2006-01-10T04:20:55.013-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Too many things to do</title><content type='html'>First, the bidding for courses isnt going exactly well for me.. First time in my whole experience of bidding that i actually got outbidded. And it just had to happen on my last sem? Pui!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, i take another lang. thai.. which i hope would be useful to contribute to my shopping trip to thai in future.&lt;br /&gt;Wad does this means? It means that for my whole education in NUS.. I did not S/U any of the modules that i took..&lt;br /&gt;I think it can be quite silly... NOt making use of the option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the good news is that i finally went ikea today to purchase some small stuff for my room... ahha&lt;br /&gt;after one whole holiday.. but then it was very crowded...  i could never imagine how packed it can get.. All i can say that its like packed sardines when we are queuing up to make payment.... the restaurant was also full of people.. the queue was stretched to the staircase. and i cant redeem my free coffee.... :(&lt;br /&gt;I try it again nxt time... I get my free coffee and discounted meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven packed my room since i have shifted in around 2-3 months ago.. The boxes are still lying around and i think it feels like a store room more like a bedroom. However this storeroom has got heap and heaps of papers lying around.&lt;br /&gt;I gonna get it done before the new year or my parents would nag at me again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to the day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sis: I dun wanna go work tmr.. sian&lt;br /&gt;Me: me too&lt;br /&gt;Sis: u only got work tmr after that u study..&lt;br /&gt;Me: i dun wan to study also&lt;br /&gt;Sis: u dun wan to work nor study! so wad u want?&lt;br /&gt;Me: I want my holiday.. i have no holiday.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess if i have a choice i opt for a two weeks holiday which compromises of lazing around... doing nothing and letting my brain rot....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too bad sch had started ..  I gonna miss my lesson tmr for a presentation....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANyway i skipped a monday lecture thinking that it would be webcast.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, it only webcast the last sem lecture... not this sem.....&lt;br /&gt;#__#&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should i be more hardworking for  this last sem or play more for this last sem... hehe&lt;br /&gt;Cant decide....

I would say she is really a beautiful babe.. ahaha.. I think its really nice to see her after 3 years esp on a new year day.. meet her at ard 12 plus at a traffic junction...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wad a coincidence.. hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watched a cartoon movie at 150am last night.. i think its the first time in my life that i watched a movie so early in the morning..&lt;br /&gt;Thank goodness that its quite a nice show otherwise i think i would be real wasting the tixs and money.... after that its rounds of majong and dice game in a friends house...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penalty for dice game is to drink mixed alcohol like screwdriver which we made ourselves and etc...&lt;br /&gt;wasnt exactly fantastic.... i mean the drinks.. wad raspberry with pepsi and volka... omg.... absolutely turn me off...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However i tried to mix some drinks myself earlier in the day and i think its not too bad except that i added too much alcohol...

Dun complain that i waste your time..&lt;br /&gt;For the others if u want to carry on reading.. dun say i din warn u.... ]&lt;br /&gt;maybe the long post is to make up for the lack of entries during this period of time..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes it seems too early to rejoice for a flexible working hours schedule where u only turn up for work for only 2-3 days a week.... Now that i realised that this kind of flexible hours would be invading on ur weekends...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to look forward to weekends when i worked as a temp cos i know that i could relax and shop and have fun over it... but now i think i dread weekends cos it only means that i have reports to submit on monday and i have to prepare for it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here i am typing on my blog as i reviewed what i have wriiten in my report to be submitted for monday.. then i have another one for tuesday and another one on wednesday.. It is not as difficult as doing an essay yet the research part is something i hated. cos i have to go through tons of information before i would proceed to select the useful ones which i can use. Then i have to make sure that the one report i submitted is concise and at the same time would not let ppl feel that i am eating snake and not doing work..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its difficult lei....but then i am really pleased with myself that i could churn up tons of words within a short period of time.. yet i do not wish to shortchange myself this time for the assignments that i am supposed to do.. It is a chance for me to learn to experience.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today on a sunday... yah.... here...  i am doing report and researching on materials... I am too tired to go out with my family..... i have been going out everyday for the week including saturdays and only returning home past 9 or 10... I need a rest..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sick of doing surveys and asking ppl to do surveys for me... I can take the rejection but its just that i dun like to stand there and do my work when on weekend before christmas i am supposed to be shopping away and looking out for sales.. With people swarming around me and shopping.. all of a sudden i really hated my work....&lt;br /&gt;therefore as u can see.. i become emotionally unstable.. I looked through my entries and felt that they are mainly ranting on my part...... This is not suppose the way the life is going to be.. I began to wonder what will happen if i would start work next year.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To a certain extend i like the income that work brought with it.. but then sometimes i would feel lonely when i work.. its the feeling of vacuum... and its kind of weird.. I dun feel it when i am schooling.... but then the vacuum would only occur once in a while cos i am always loaded with things to do.. it disappeared as fast as the rate it appears.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore to relax myself.. i start to read some chinese love story novel.. actually it sparks off with my sis who borrowed a few from the library.... and being the usual me . always do inappropriate things at the wrong time.... i began to pick up one book and start reading...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For your information, i am that kind of person who will refuse to take on any new task before i finished reading my book.. i would read it till the end even it is to the extent of starting to write my report late at night and end even later..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dun like the stories that i read.... cos most of the time i dun really understand wad the author is trying to say behind the story... to me its just another silly love story and nothing else.. cos i dun want to do my report therefore i read it.. its just an alternative to substantiate my inability to complete the report on time.. and it is a good one.. cos i am reading.... at least i din waste my time zuo boing.. i am reading chinese books which i haven touched for ages and i miss reading chinese characters..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this post is way too long.. shall end here... back to report......&lt;br /&gt;Life goes on...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-113490511610186996?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/113490511610186996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=113490511610186996' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113490511610186996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113490511610186996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2005/12/sloughin-away-on-sunday.html' title='sloughin Away on a sunday'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-113480037628196611</id><published>2005-12-16T18:01:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2005-12-16T18:19:36.296-12:00</updated><title type='text'>looking forward to holidays</title><content type='html'>I wonder if i do get enough mood for christmas celebration if i am sloughing away for reports for the nxt few days..&lt;br /&gt;In the past years, i would have time to shop around for christmas presents and think wad to do for christmas..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a list to do.. i do certainly hope i could come up with something by this weekend..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate doing survreys.. i just think that they are being manupilated in the wrong way, and thinkin of it makes me feel v uncomfortable.. perhaps its like that  in the real world out there.. completely different from the academic..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never really feel that i am that kind of academic person.. until i really went to do some related work.. perhaps this 2 and a half years spent in sch really helps me in becoming of who i am..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can churn out reports with lots of words... thanks to my essay practise.. but then i really wonder can this be considered as a skill.. hhaa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway things are not that bad with the survey however, i do find the methodology a bit problematic... i am too tired to say anything le.. the other intern told me not to take things too seriously.. maybe he is right ah..&lt;br /&gt;AM i a better worker than student? as in i take things more seriously at work than with my sch work?? then maybe perhaps being in the working world may be more suitable for me than being in sch.. however being a bit of "academic" makes me feel that i do not fit in totally.. Guess we have to see how things go and adapt to changes..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However at the esplanade underground yest. i meet the nus jugglers.. i learn how to juggle.. learn a bit about the basics.. i would try juggling with three balls.. see if i could put it up as a performance haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still haven go ikea to shop for my things.. i have to go before the end of dec...... so much things to do with so little time.. then i also want to shop for clothes.. i want to buy some new clothes.. hehe haven got any income coming in and yet i feel like spending liao...

Its hard for arts student to get internship and i really feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to work. However, there is no fix working hours.. no fixed schedule of when i should work or not..&lt;br /&gt;Everything is planned based on ourselves..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its actually a market research assistant.. but then in the end i think we have to come up with the research ourselves.. There is two team mates and each of us would take turn to be the leader for the week.. altogether there will be 5 weeks.. i wonder would it be a long dreadful one or a sweet and short one.. hehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway up to now i am v satisfied cos i went to report for work at 10 am today and by 330 we are free to go off le and minus away the 1 hr lunch and another 1 and a half hour for us to brainstorm and know one another...&lt;br /&gt;And some introduction and walking around the places.. It ends..&lt;br /&gt;And for tmr no need for me to go to report.. but i think our team would get together tonight to see if there is a need to meet tmr and discuss.. if not we will see each other on wednesday itself..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wads in store for me this holiday?? I hoped i will not be too stretched out by the attachments and the stuff that i should do..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway did enjoy myself over the weekend...

Y on earth would you want to have this kind of question..&lt;br /&gt;And the worse is ppl actually bother to respond by calling in...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Towards the end of the show, the person actually conclude that more ppl would prefer to be frozen to death except for one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the reason given was: because I am hot.. So i wanna be burnt to death...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Omg....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How lame can we get.. Are we really that bored that we need this kind of entertainment..&lt;br /&gt;Its not even funny at all... Maybe i do lack some sense of humor... But then whats the relevance of posing such a question to the audience.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first i though the dj would went on to conclude that bcos of the sunny weather we had here so we would prefer to have the opposite..&lt;br /&gt;And if we pose this question to someone leaving in the north pole.. their answer would be like they would rather be burnt to death...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like grass is always greener on the other side concept..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUT NO!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing was mention at all except to reveal the results of more ppl prefer to be froze to death here.... "___"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We always see beauty in things that we cannot attained or possessed..&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we should appreciate more of what we have owned...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think i need to focus more on the exam..... N not doing unconstructive things....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe i should try to blog about what i had studied so as to reduce the dissonance that i am having now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOCUS!!  FOCUS!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got no time to get my new specs....&lt;br /&gt;That place is just so inaccessible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should always bring along the HMV voucher when i am out... I need new earphones.....&lt;br /&gt;NOw who can i get to accompany me to go town to get just earphones.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have gone out to study today.... waste a day..... precious day somemore..&lt;br /&gt;Time during exam period is always more precious..

Everytime when i can almost get the feel of studying.. like i begin to appreciate the lesson&lt;br /&gt;and see some lights about what the lecturer is talking about in this whole sem...&lt;br /&gt;exam will come... then i have no mood for exam..&lt;br /&gt;cos for me.. i am just getting to know what the syllubus is about...&lt;br /&gt;its just so unmotivating..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then i have to begin mugging... i think sch term is just too short.. y dun they make a term like for a year...&lt;br /&gt;I get the sch fees worth.. hehehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still have to type out a memo later... eeeeee .....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never ending work from ES....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the last lec of ss... i begin to wonder if i am a feminist.... hahaa.... U know y ah.... ( private joke)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I question so many things.... about the norms... and what female have to do.. hahah..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what interest me is that being feminist is not about being man.... As in when women wanted the same recognition as men.. It is not always the physical side where we also wanted to serve army as they did....&lt;br /&gt;All these are the frames that the media had impose on us..&lt;br /&gt;This is not the case....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cos from what i interpret from the lec.... feminism is about fighting against the social role that had been imposed on us.. the innate discrimination that exist..&lt;br /&gt;Maybe due to the fact that we need our population to be working... (even woman as well)&lt;br /&gt;therefore singaporean women dun feel that discriminated..&lt;br /&gt;We have an equal chance to access education based on the meritocracy model... and all other things...&lt;br /&gt;Have u ever wonder woman here are not discriminated cos we cannot afford to.. Its not that we do not want to....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;women are needed to come out and work and contribute to the GDP.. haha...&lt;br /&gt;What other things are we really deprived of ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we spoke of equality... What does it means? same as man? no i dun think so.....&lt;br /&gt;But more of the social roles that we assumed and not deprived of any chances to gain access to most of the things..&lt;br /&gt;N its not about being a man...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how feminist are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way "discrepancy" is a postitve or negative word?&lt;br /&gt;Cant figure it out....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181678-113154257876699505?l=hoppingard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/feeds/113154257876699505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9181678&amp;postID=113154257876699505' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113154257876699505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9181678/posts/default/113154257876699505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hoppingard.blogspot.com/2005/11/study.html' title='Study?'/><author><name>Hops</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18120863968023370184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181678.post-113072521397876827</id><published>2005-10-30T18:32:00.000-12:00</published><updated>2005-10-30T14:20:14.003-12:00</updated><title type='text'>Exam coming..</title><content type='html'>Now comes the seasons of examination.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In another two weeks time, i be having my final exam....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then i think its quite contradictory, whenever my exams are coming&lt;br /&gt;i feel the urge to blog and write more....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, i really do wonder y does it happen only when exams are coming....&lt;br /&gt;Is it because of the exam that i am more stress and are more likely to vent out my stress here through some writings?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or iS it because that during exam period, i am more likely to think about things that are happening...&lt;br /&gt;cos in this time of the year, i believe the brain activity going through my brain would be the most active..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rest of the time, i can just forget about it... i am living in absolute blurness.... I have friends to remind me to hand in assignments and then i will rush them out at the last min.... I have friends to remind me of my midterm.. so that i can remember to study at least a bit for it.... Hmm... if u are thinking of how did i survive, i think and hope taht i have done it pretty well for this sem.. and the previous ones...  hahaa....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then sometimes, i can somehow figure that i need to hand in assignments... The thing is i hate to check the ivle... haha... blame it on pure laziness or the refusal to bring myself to the reality... hee hee.. when the lecturer just reminded us verbally... i am more likely to forget her instructions than she post it online.. even if she post the reminder online, given the frequency that i checked the ivle, by the time i knew it, its always too late..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason that i been living this way is that i just want to get my cert and puff..... out of the education system...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But right now amidst this exam.. i start to confront myself with issues like do i want to go ahead to do my honours?&lt;br /&gt;First the results must be good enough and worthwhile to do so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realise that i can do honours after all but then its a matter of choice of whether i shall do it or not....&lt;br /&gt;At this time, i can t really weigh the pros and cons of doing or not doing honours....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doing honours for the sake of doing it? but then wads the purpose?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe i have asked a lot of ppl for their views.... maybe i have been going through this questions many times....&lt;br /&gt;But certainly i do not have an answer right now.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes i really hoped that i have someone to decide my life for me.. and tell me to do this and that....

I am not sure wad kind of problem is that...&lt;br /&gt;I only knew that i dun have a telephone line and the calls to the old number goes to another place instead...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a weekend of living without a  proper phone and internet at home.... I finally got my broadband working yesterday.. But the thing is that sometimes i just cant sign in to MSN and access to the msn homepage site..&lt;br /&gt;I spend the whole night trying to logged on the internet...&lt;br /&gt;An unsuccessful attempt...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try it again this morning and its working....

But then its 20% cheaper...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pizza hut was closed to empty when i reached... there isnt many people dining there... and i looked around the whole place..... I saw the staff working there... all ahmahs... they are not v busy... some are even chatting.. Then i knew why they cant deliver the pizza to my place.... I know y....  I went inside the cashier to pay and saw the manager... Another ahmad... he almost give me the wrong pizza and had mistaken me for another customer who had paid for it... Wad a nice experience...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, its 20% cheaper.... Next time i picked up the pizza myself..... wahhahaah..... or i go for KFC instead.... or i should try the 62410241 instead.... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everything would settle down....

The reply came fast n easy... It is her way of writing down her thoughts n bits n pieces of things.. thats y its never tiring of lack of topic to write..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, i dun even know the purpose of my writing or even rambling here... Can these be classified as thoughts? or just a simple piece of work on how i spend my day blar blar blar..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or does it even serves as a nice form of memory when i re-read some of the posts and recalled wad i was doing like 3 months ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays even writing online on a (Worldwide web) needs to be carefully structured.. U cant afford to insult any organisation or someone at the tip of ur pen.. U be sued... or even suspended.. (not that i go for that kind of writing)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writing is a form of expression.. maybe we all should go back to our old style of dairies n pen our thoughts in a book..&lt;br /&gt;ANd please make sure that no one recovers that book and use it against u.. or u be hold responsible for what u write. If it had been kept private.. n no one elses reads it and its not being circulated.. maybe u be spared..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO matter wad when u just write stuff down n there is no dissemination of it around.. It be a totally different case.. no sedition laws can bring u down nor deframation or wadever..It would only be your own private thoughts cos there is no circulation of it around..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For deframation or wadever, it canbe taken into account when more than three people knows n reads about it.. N the three person includes u urself the party involved and the other third party...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So wad am i trying to say....... Go back to ur old dairies if u ever wanna scold or insult anything... Nothing would be held against u...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHen u are writing on a medium where people can easily access.... Its easier to get into trouble.... haha&lt;br /&gt;With Greater power comes greater Responsibilities..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So its better to watch out... n be careful with the words when writing online.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm... so wad am i writing now?

These people can find their own living space in the big city n they do enjoyed a great degree of freedom in wadever they do..... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;later i found out from my mum that singapore bugis area used to be like that filled with illegal hawkers... they are gone now.... Maybe its for the better..... maybe.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ps: pls tell me whether the pictures look normal or not as in if it align with the border.
