been a long time since i made an entry ya? sigh, so sorry to the MLB family and especially the animal kingdom(*wave frantically*)... been damn busy with school work and performances, can hardly breathe!!!
I've been really stressed up with school, so much homework to do and projects, gonna go crazy. 1st week of school i could still sleep b4 12, have breakfast the next morning, and take a comfortable stroll to class...these days, i sleep around 3.30am, skip breakfast, and brisk walk to class... :(
And for the past few weeks, besides MLB performances, I've been helping Juz B out with the vocal percussion cos Fariq's down due to IMF. So it's been really crazy juggling everything together...
Hope these pics will cheer u up ba... although i havent got any recent pics of MLB.. btw, some of u were asking me how i learn to beatbox? well i learnt it from here... www.humanbeatbox.com
Take care!!!

doggy, tag a long tag ytd but then well, apparently nth comes out.. O.o
so yep~ well. the dream did affected me alot, i mux admit. but well, im fine now. though still worried, but i cant do much as well, except let him knw that though he left the band but their frenship nv end. and im sure he knw abt it too.. yep.. =)
garfield, wad's the news/hint that u've heard?? hees.. making us guess arh?? =X and yeah, it's really scary to have the same dream for 3 days. hahas.. it's been long since i've dreamt of the hippos too.. hahas.
piglet-that's so freak, i will freak out, and call that person straight away.
ytd marks the starting of my orientation camp, didnt go today since i am down with a fever and bad headache(gosh, again). oh yeah.
did i tell you before that there are many cute boys and pretty girls in my sch?
haha, that's one thing i like about tp design sch. haha. am i right, ele?
hi flamingo and Lion cub..and everyone else!
Lion cub: yup.. remember you.. the Chios are busy with careers now.. haha..i'm slacking for time being though..
piglet: sometimes dreams can be vision, or just results of things u are probing abt that links to such scenes indirectly.
Visions can be something that will happen in future, or someone that GOD wants you to pray for.. that someone may not be someone you know.. he/she can be as far as the other end of the earth. So just pray for whoever you see lor. It's common to have visions to pray for strangers. :)
Hahas, Piglet..tis blog eats up tags =P Dun read too much in d dreams, but u muz kn wat ur heart wants.
Parrot...wow! I'll be thrilled to see mani cute gals n guys in my skool. Ya, acty I agree tat designing students tend to care more abt their images; I m not saying tat they r usually good looking...but I think is the style they bring out...It's cool!

TGIF! But my weekends are always more busy than weekday. Got full day class till mon, thanks goodness, its e last weekend with full day class. But also means that exam approaching nearer.

I got a friend who grad from Nafa and Australia Uni, she is very stylish with tatoo all these... but never chong before!
ms dolphin, aiya I dun mean duck lah...someone else lah...oso brain got "flooded" =P
Art students har? dun hv a particular perception; but u can tell fr their styles, nd not b good looking and expensive dressing, but juz a certain style or charisma tat u can detect lo. Like charisma lo, it's a magic, u cant define it but u kn a certain person has it.
Happy Saturday, enjoy!
hi cuties, sori MIA, had been v bzy n will be v bzy for the next few days.. may not be able to come in to hippo land..but will try.. just like to pen some of my own version of piglet's dream..
Recurring Dreams :-
hi piglet - Tis is just my own interpretation only.. ignore it if u don't like it.
I believe U r the Authority of yr own dreams. Is a reflection of yr own life. It cud be something sad or painful that may hd happened to u in the pass that had been haunting u & nw u r trying to get out of it.. or r u had been trying to archieve too many things & pushing yrourslf too hard & find the gg tough... so want to slow down, but feel reluctant to leave part of whatever u want to archieve behind..
Useful hints-
- You probably can identify the sadness in yr dreams with the sadness in yr own life..
- is there an area of unresolved feelings or concern - be it passs or present?
- are they representing ral-life concerns abt yrself trying to archieve too many things, but find there are human limitations? - cos we are not Superheros..
- hv things turned out differently fm yr expectations?
Look within yrself 1st, is there any worries during waking life, which u are trying to solve n it reflects in yr dreams..try consiously to recognise the underlying fears that bother u.. but 'BE PATIENT' with yrself...
life is full of failures/disappointments. but a steping stone to future success..
Learning to let go & parting, is painful.. but tis is Life's trial..
p/s.. try to reflect on yr dreams.. but don't let it control yr life.. the character of yr friend & his problem in yr dreams, i believe is connected with yr own believe..
take care & best of luck in whatever u wish to do/archieve..
May u find JOY walking Life's path..
Jiayou hippos/cuties!
abit too many ppl to reply, if i missed out some, im sorry~~
parrot, if only im able to call him, i wun be so worried le.. hais. but whatever it is, he still has alot to clear before he can put his mind on the band. thus im sure he dun have time to tink abt other things.
oyster, yep. im praying for him. hopefully he's alright now le.
creamy, i knw wad my heart wans. i have nv been so certain before. hahas. =P
garfield, =)
npwruss, love?? in caps somemore. hahas.. well, i've been showered with lottas care and concern lately. my context of love would be that given by my other half. and im really in love with the guy who appeared in my dreams. parents care and concern, they do care for me but they just duno how to show it. well, i cant do anything abt it anyway. so why not take it easy and slowly. =)
birdie, wad u said is very chim. hahas.. but then i tink i understood it. but during that period when i were having the same dream for 3 days, i wasnt worrying abt anything. life was good during that period. so i really have no idea how come i had that dream. but then, again. it's over. i've stopped having that dream, maybe it's cux i found out why he's sad in my dream. maybe, maybe not. yep.
hi! parrot, life is full of burdens.. so r u burdened by love or studies or money? or haha too many handsome beauties around?..
creamy - i agreed with u.. don't understand some odd present day youngsters.. they like to hug/kiss in crowded mrt/buses/escalators n even hugging at bus-stops rite outside their schools.. in full view of the public n their sch mates.. n mind u.. they looked v proud of themselves.. intimacy shd be done in pte, rite?.. what happen to self respect..aaahg
Dophin - chasing 'Hana Yori Dango'.. i watched the cartoon version a few yrs ago.. cannot quite remember the full story, but, i enjoyed watching it n admired the beautiful heroine n the handsome hero..
duckling - glad to hear fm u..
ele - how r u? hi hi, i watched animal planet some time ago..saw a mother elephant after giving birth to a young ele.. don noe why dislike the baby.. kept kicking the poor babe.. the keepers got to pull the baby away to safety.. poor little ele got no chance to drink the mummy's milk.. keepers got to bottle feed it.. mother's blue or post depression..
hv not eaten salmon for quite some time.. tinking of eating baked salmon 2morrow..
recd an email - Free Amos Cookies & a story for u.......
Try it !!!!
My daughter and I had just finished a muffin at Famous Amos Cafe in Bangsar(KL) &
decided to have a some cookies. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Hawaiian Nut Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they
would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown "I'm afraid
cannot." Well" I said, "would you let me buy the recipe?" With a cute smile, she
said YES".
I asked how much and she responded, "Only TWO FIFTY" it's a great deal!" I said with
approval, "just add it to my bill".. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement
from Famous Amos and it was RM285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent
RM9.95 for two muffins and about RM20.00 for a pie.
As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe-RM250.00".
That's outrageous!!!
I called Famous Amos's Accounting Dept. and told them that the waitress said it was
"Two-Fifty," which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty dollars" by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Famous Amos refused to budge..
They would not refund my money, because according to them, "What the waitress told you is not our
problem. You have already seen the recipe - we absolutely will not refund your money
at this point."
I explained to her the criminal statutes which govern fraud in Malaysia. I threatened to refer them to the Police for engaging in fraud. I was basically told,
"Do what you want, we dont care, and we're not refunding your money." I waited a moment, thinking of how I could get even, or even try to get any of my money back. I just said, "Okay, you people got my RM250.00, and now I'm going to have RM250.00
worth of fun."
I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover in Malaysia with an e-mail account has a RM250.00 cookie recipe from Famous Amos... for free..
She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this"
I said, "Well you should have thought of that before you stole from me", and slammed down the phone on her.. So, here it is!!!
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of.
I paid RM250.00 for this... I don't want Famous Amos to ever get another sen off of
this recipe....
(Recipe may be halved):
2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal and blend in blender to a fine powder)
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
18oz.Cadbury bar (grated)
4 eggs
2tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla
Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour,
oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts.
Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet..Bake for 10 minutes at
375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies.
Have Fun!!! This is not a joke - this is a true story... Ride free citizens!!!! This
isn't some stupid chain letter either.. pass it on.. if
you don't, you won't die or get dumped.. you'll just do the world an injustice...
Birdie, 'Hana Yori Dango', I got almost all the versions of it. You name it, I got it, from comic to cartoon to drama! Not only 'Hana Yori Dango', I keep everything about 'First Kiss' too. Too bad the author died before she can finish the comic.
Heard there will be a drama on Slamdunk, looking forward to it! Jerry Yan and maybe Wu Zhun. Yeah!!
Goldfish, dun tell me you in the lad from afternoon till now? dinner leh?No aircon nevermind, you got lot of fans. :p
Two Women Meet In Heaven
1st woman: Hi! My name is Wada.
2nd woman: Hi! I'm Sylvia. How'd you die?
1st woman: I froze to death.
2nd woman: How horrible!
1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began
to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband
was cheating, so I came home early to catch him, but instead, I found
him all by himself in the den watching TV.
1st woman: So, what happened?
2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I
started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and
searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet
and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked
everywhere, and finally, I became so exhausted that I just keeled over
with a heart attack and died.
1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer. We'd both still be
alive.
Did anyone mentioned Famous Amos? Haha.. my nose was lead by that fragrant cookies smell since young.. yummy..
Ah.. malaysia's like that. gotta to neg price carefully with them. Once, i got my Rm50 snatched away from my hand and chucked in its place with a bus ticket to KL. I chased him all the way to his bus and demanded my $ back. I mean i didn't even agree on that price for that ticket. I got my $ back and bought ticket from another company which cost Rm35 only. Usual price: Rm25. Prices jet up when there's heavy traffic to destination.

The Pursuit Of Happiness -
"A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch."I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said,"What's your secret for a long and happy life?"
"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,"he said."I also drink a case of whiskey a week,eat fatty foods,and never exercise."
"That's amazing,"the woman said."How old are you?"
"Twenty-six,"he said"
You're In The Right Place -
"
"I'm so worried,'the nervous patient said as the nurse plumped up his pillows.
"Last week,I read about a man who was in the hospital because of heart trouble and he died of malaria."
'Relax,' the nurse said,smiling."This is a first-rate hospital.When we treat someone for heart trouble,he dies of heart trouble."

mayb you can say that i am training my stamina, mayb you can say that i am torturing myself. but well, i slept 2 hours on monday, went home only at 6am on tuesday, slept for 7 hours, and i am here again. hah, gosh, that is something i need to adjust to as a design student.
important lesson learnt on the first day of school: designer not only need to be creative in presenting their ideas, they need to learn how to communicate their ideas to all the buyers out there.
just for this reason, i am taking this module called," communicating design ideas", and because of this reason, i am gonna to write a 2k essay on design icons, just because of that i am attending the class every day frm 3pm-6pm. why? just because i want to be a successful designer.
but seriously, i really dont want to write that long essay out. HAHA, need to do presentations, need to blah. designer is a communicator too! they communicate to the mass via their works. HAHA.

Hilarious Story abt a Farmer's Donkey -
"One day, a farmer's donkey fell down a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours, as the farmer ttied to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered anyway.
It wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
So he decided to bury the donkey.
He invited his neigbours to come n help him, they all grabbed a shovel, n started to shovel
dirt into the well. At first, the donkey, realised what was happening, cried horribly.
Slowly, he quietened down, till no more crying was heard.
A few shovel load later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonisted
at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off'
n take a step up.
As the farmer n his neighbours continue to shovel dirt
on top of the donkey, he would shake it off n take a step up.
Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up.
over the edge of the well & trotted off!
LIFE, is going to shovel dirt on you, ALL KINDS OF DIRT.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.
We can get out of the deepest wells, by not stopping, never giving up, shaking it off and take a step up!
Remember the 5 simple rules to Be Happy"
1 Free yr heart fm hatred.
2 Free yr mind fm worries.
3 Live Simply
4 Give More
5 Expect Less
Enough of that, the donkey came back... and kicked
the crap out of the farmer and tried to bury him.
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: When u try to cover yr ass(no offence)..
it always come back to get even with you."
happy reading.. gd nite! me flying to dreamland..
uh..birdie, u r doing jus fine. u hv to beat ure own record now.
dolphin, cram hard! u sure r like goldfish, come in to destress wn too stressed.
oh hoo, dj playin my current fav song again! yippee!
jus read in life! dat my fav show is in its last season in US. Sob! hope ch5 bringss back gilmore girls soon, i hv been like waitin for so long already. okie enough crap 4 today, go n sleep. whoa the good songs jus keep coming... Gdnite!
npwruss went to KL? Nice food paradise right? Used to go there to shop for my clothes but this yr stop doing so as fashion there in Singapore is picking down and getting cheaper. But I travel there now to visit friends. :D
Oh, mentioning our neighbourhood country, I had a friend who came over to S'pore to work. While most Singaporeans are rattling on the government's policies and high living cost, my friend simply complimented that S'pore is a prim and proper country, where worth to e called a good living environment.
He added on, pointing out the racist practice in Malaysia which is pressuring him everyday when he daylight penetrate into his eyes. He just hated it when he steps out on streets. My friend who is engrossed in politics and history, whom I named a political communist atheist, highlighted many points about his motherland, which made me realised that we S'poreans(not all, but mostly), are the ungrateful bunch.
I forgot how peaceful S'pore is when there were turmoils in other countries, eg: riots in Macau on May Day, war in Iraq as ever, civil wars in Africa, etc. And yet, S'pore government has promised us a secure country where we can roam around on the streets to 6am. That that in Malaysia or Batam! And also, I heard that Singapore as a city is considered as a low living cost city, comparing to KL, Beijing, Shanghai, Japan or Korea. In KL, they earned 1/2 our salaries yet having the same level of living cost as us.
Today, I read a National Geographic Magazine. Brought to my attention was the topic of Untouchability and caste system in India. Think most of us learned that in Sec sch but brushed aside easily. After reading that long long articles with still photos of evidence, I couldn't express how glad I am to be living in a racial harmonious country.
Yes, S'pore is small and pressurising, but we ought to come out from this small well of ours to walk into other countries' lives to see what is the diff between a heaven and hell country.
My Indo-Chi friend went back to Indo to be his Oil King. I told him that I'll contact him via Msn.. To my shock, he said that his City - Bundaraya(I think so), converse via mail. No computers too. Handwritten documents. And gotta to count lots of shillings and cash as they dun have auto cash machines..gotta travel around with guns.. !! Oh my, gulp.. luckily we are so accessible to wireless and high-technologies..
However there is also another uprising issue of discrimination against other nationalities. I think more or less the high and mighty S'poreans are guilty of. I met ppl who insulted the Chinese nationalities, complained abt Malaysian snatching our iron rice bowls, etc..
ok..moral of stories: Before we comment on other ppl outside our own league, we should learn more abt their backgrds, cultures, histories first before hammering on them. Because to the Europeans or caucasians, their racist attitudes towards Chi may be like ours towards fellow malaysian or fellow workers who came from 3rd world countries.
This is a free world where we can go everywhere to find our future and gain interests. No one is no longer restricted to a location. We go to US, is the same as ppl coming to S'pore. We want to have better lives, so do others. Let' clam our mouths live life to our fullest! We are blessed.. really..
Hi Birdie and all Akains..another week of work. Stay happy and afloat.
To Oyster, yes, food is excellent and cheap. My intention is to relax.
Racist is not new to Malaysia and worst Australia. East Malaysia is not so bad. I have been travelling around working in different countries, I totally agreed that Singaporean 'sheng zai fu zhong bu zhi fu'!
As for India, the caste system is not so bad now. I am more concerned abt beggers. The syndicate breaks the limbs of children n forced them to beg. I normally buy lots of food but I won give money.
Cheers!
hi waves~ hippos/cuties..
talking abt cost of living - we complained abt high cost of living here.. n my msian friends complained abt high cost of living ovr thre.. their earnings r 1/2 of sin but a cup of coffee costs 80cts at kopitiams, a bowl of wanton mee costs 2.20 up.. properties n cars r much chearper of cos.. is bcos de value of our S$ is higher.. so our spending power is shiok making it cheaper for us..
rgding foreigners - try walking down Geylang rd .. lots of chinese nationals, pretty n not so pretty, revealing clothings, young/old.. clinging to middle/old men.. openly asking in full view of us sporean ladies/women/children/young men at busstops ..wondering whether they r helping to spread aids..
i was in a taxi once.. n the driver was a Msian PR, he was complaining abt sin's cost of living is v high n complaining abt our sin govt..
so i asked him - "how long hv u been here? he said 10yrs.. he came here to wk, got married here, bear children & bought a HDB flat..
i said, ah chek (sir)- u came here with nothing.. but sin govt, has been v kind n generous to u.. u are able to earn a decent living, a wife, children n a home.. yet u
r complaining.. why r so ungrateful.. if Msia is so gd n yr govt, is so gd, then why r u here? He unashamely answered.. when i mde enough $$ i will go bck.he added - what's so gd abt sin".. tis is an example of an ungratful foreigner.. of cos thre are also lots of grateful ones..
there r 2 sides to a coin..
I milu for a while, acty not really lah...
Life has been on a lighter side but busy. I frequent ECP quite often these days to cycle and I'm picking up skating. Hv been going under the sun frequent and now I got breakouts...I do enjoy the active lifestyle nw.
Also, I am dedicating more time for my family; learning to shower them with attention and contribute a part to do some household chores.
Engage in helping a fren in flowers decor for church weddings, events etc...It's great to do something creative, really fun!

An Inspiring story -
"God is going to send Angel A to earth, to learn what is "forgiving"
"But I need someone to forgive in order to learn it" Angel A asked the God.
Angel A, best friend stepped out, offering her help to Angel B,"I can go down to earth with you, I can let you learn to forgive me."
"How" Angel A asked.
"To help you to learn, I will do harmful things to you." Angel B said.
Angel A is shocked," You mean you will go down to earth with me, hurt me, just to help me to learn what is "forgiving" ? "
"Yes, because I love you."
Hi Akains..finally tagging from home.
Birdie..forgiving is a virtue, not easy to acquire. How can we forgive someone who hurt us? Even if the person has a reason the person cannot hurt another. Who would want to stand that nonsence and who are you? This normally flash across the mind. Chinese have a saying : Zhi bu tong, bu xiang wei mo ! I learn this and I understand it fully. What is done is not easy to undone...I spoke to a friend abt this before and this story and we got different interpretations. LOVE sometime HURTS!
K...gg to eat my carrot cake. I have a change of taste. last time I love cheese cake. C..taste changes.
meow...luv the noises u made on our behalf. hmm...with regards to foreign talent, guess dat there will be no hostility as long as they dun compete w ures truly for a job. my greatest fear now is dat it'll come to such a stage dat competition will be so fierce dat i hv to go overseas in search of better job opportunities :( dunno how so many of our fellow neighbours can uproot demselves fr their family n friends in their home country n come here to work. if i were dem, i will b so homesick. but den for the > adventurous n ambitious type, wking overseas will be exciting n a good opp to see the world n widen their job experience. dpds on the individual preference i guess.
hi, I rec'd tis joke fm a friend so just sharing the lighter side of life.. haha!
"An Indian uncle was booked into an SIA flight to Bombay. But as this was his first time in an airplane, he made a few preparations that were out of place. When the stewardess came around to take orders for the in-flight meal,
the uncle declared loudly, "I have brought my own lunch. Make sure you don't charge me for food and drinks!"
So, as everybody was given their in-flight meal, the uncle began spreading out his own home-cooked meal. The man sitting next to him was an American history researcher, who was curious about the food.
"Excuse me, what is that drink?" he asked.
The uncle picked up the yogurt-based lassi drink and said, "Milk of India!"
The the uncle took out several pieces of chapattis and started feasting.
"And what is that dish?" asked the curious American.
"Wheat of India!" replied the uncle proudly.
Finally, the uncle took out some desserts. He offered some to the American.
"What is it?" asked the American.
"Sweet of India!" replied the old man.
After the meal, everyone was settling down when there was a loud "Pooooooooot!" from the uncle.
"What was that?" asked the American in disgust.
The old man replied coolly, "That's Air India!"

Mothers Day - inspiring story about mother
A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied,
"I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have
70CTS and a rose costs $2/-"
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a CEMETERY, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
THE MAN RETURNED TO THE FLOWER SHOP, CANCELLED THE WIRE ORDER, PICKED UP A BOUQUET N DROVE THE TWO HUNDRED MILES TO HIS MOTHER'S HSE.

10 MEN VERSUS A WOMAN -
Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't able to designate a person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general, and she was used to always making sacrifices, with little in return.
As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping (HaHaHa! what happen then?)
allow me to rant here can i??
okay, i admit tt i knw about their event this coming sun. but then they couldn't confirm if it was open to public not. and i did asked them again and again lo.
if i inform earlier, then it turned out tt the event is private, then disappointment will come. and the guys will be accused of being biased. which they're not. when we ask them about it, then they'll tell us. and u can't blame them for always informing last min. weiqi can't blog, nic seldom online. sam's net also duno hao le mei.
argh~~ turn out tt do this, do that also wrong la. well, anw. im glad tt i still have a place where i can rant and not kena shoot. i knw if i post this in the main blog. i sure kena shoot like siao.
Hello n gd morning. Biride I heard something abt woman tt I want to share here. Nothing personal but for laugh.
Woman from 18 to 20s - are like a Ruby ball. 20 men chasing after them.
Woman in their 30s - are like basket ball, 10 men chasing aft them.
Woman in their 40s are like Ping Pong ball. Only 2 persons playing and they smack back the ball at ea other cos they dun want it.
Woman in the 50s are like golf ball. Man will try to hit the ball. The further it goes the better.
This is told to me by a friend n aft looking at it...hum.m.m.m.m
K...so much for the craps
haha, i am like eating the first meal of the day, was like so busy the whole day that i dont even have a chance to let sit down and eat a proper meal. have been jionging my one Xone m sculpture in school till late nights for like 4 days. haha, jiong here and there, i almost thought that tp design school was my home. sian. but i really enjoy the process, i am stressed, but not defeated.
haha, guess i am in love.
hi waving to all ~ happy wkend!
flamingo - hv a great holiday.
piglet - agreed with u, AK is no longer as pte n rowdy as b4, but is still much more pte than CS.. but i am sure de original goldfish n cuties themselves wld like tis plc to be friendly n sharing for as long as we can.... as long as we maintain the altitute of being members of the 'MLB/AK FAMILY' .. just for SHARING/FRIENDSHIP/SUPPORT FOR MLB.. a cyber retreat..to destress.. so we shd feel comfortable here without the fear of being attack by any cutie .. & peekers who enjoy just to peek.. i am sure tis plc help u to destress too..but do join us & share with us..if u can.. & pls do not attack us.. otherwise, it will be sad to close tis site..
so let's continue to jiayou here.. each grain of sand is impt here...
LET'S SMILE & LAUGH MORE SHALL WE! i myself is trying v hard too.. LET'S MKE LIFE HAPPIER FOR EA OTHER HERE.. CHEERS!!!

Hi Bird..thanks for well-wishes. I will make the most of my travelling and postings. It is a one year program for me. I will sure buy u dinner when I come back.
Meantime, I will try to gather some friends and we meet b4 I go. Whatever I am..I thank you for your patient, your understanding, accepting me for what I am, and be with me in my ups and down. Please forgive me if I hv said anything offending with an unclear and disturbed mind. I am better now. I am coping. I will tell you story of the places I go to and will keep in touch.
Cheers!
eh? npwruss is going where? you got posted to another country to work? OMG... that must be very exciting and new to you.
yup yup, I will work hard in uni and I hope the rest of the cuties will work hard too.
Btw, I might not come to AK as often as before but every time I drop in to AK, I am relieved to see that it is still as heartwarming as ever.
And that is what really matters. =)
yep long time never peep here cos not private anymore. anyway, hi doggy i hvnt bought any of eason canto albums at all cos act i was not realli his fan, only like his ONE slow song in each album.i buy his albums for my sis but den aft going his concert, i m a convert le:) n now oso older so can appreciate his songs better.
pp, now taiwan singers seems to be more popular den hk singers in spore. last time hk singers r hot!the only canto albums i hv are for sandy n aaron. yup,aaron! dat time still young, bu dong shi. haha. but den his canto album w the famous teardrop one is quite good. serious:) he sounds better in canto den chinese.
birdie, glad the method worked for u. but sometimes i tink cos we r finally too tired oredi so we drop off into slumberland at last...ta, come in some other time.
Hi PP - I am happy to see u coming back here. Birdie needs support.
Yes, I taking over a new portfilo. Frm 18 June I will be travelling all over Indian Oceans until end of the year. However I will tag at wherever I am. So It is Bintan, Maldives, Seychelles, India, South Africa, Dubai and next year will be China. Actually there are a few of us marked for promo but to me, I do not need it already and this is the program mapped out for us.
Hope you have an enjoyable uni life. Nothing is like gg to school.
I plan to stop work in another 2 to 3 years time and I will just go back to school to learn - nothing commercial. Things like literature.. something tt is not $$$. Another plan is to squat in Nepal or India or Bhutan to do social works.
MLB's music will always be with me. I know Bird will update me and others as well
Stay well PP...n love you!
hi all, still waiving cos i kn there r ppl out there 'still peeking'..n also for the true akians who r still so supportive here.. AK was rebuilt for the cuties & has served the cuties well.. be it happiness/sadness or supportive "LISTENING EARS".. Cheers! AK & TKS!
'still peeking' reminds me of our shy but helpful yellow duckling who loves to peek only in the initial stage.. but how r u nw?
dolphin - r u floricking in de deep Ocean of Tibet nw?..
creamy doggie - enjoying creating n also outdoor life.. remember to put lots of suntan lotions to protect yr skins..
PP - tks v m.. u r always so sweet.. always giving a positive feeling whenever u appear .. ah.. u yet to tell us yr experiences with yr students .. but nvr mind.. u JIAYOU~ in the UNI..

MY THOTS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH EACH & EVERYONE OF U.. BEST WISHES TO ALL, whererever u are.. SMILE N CHEERS!
hi NpWruss - is not easy to admit u did hurt some ppl, i believe unknowingly at those moments..due to some reasons.. initially, i do get pissed off, but i got over v quickly, cos i do understand the stress of wk n looking after a sick person ..feeling frustrated.. knowing that she/he wld leave u anytime..but u r unable to help in her sufferings..having to cope with friends/love ones departing fm tis world..is depressisng.. i hv gone thru all that.. the pain can be lessen with Time, but it will still lingers on forever.. is just that, life hv to go on.. so we must suppress it..
anger hurts the GIVERs N THE RECEIVERs.. nobody owns us a living.. esp if u need to wk with strangers ..be mindful of their FEELINGS.. Cheers!
NpWruss hope u don mind what i said here.. myself, is not an angel.. or a devil.. but a normal person.. i do hurt ppl unknowinly too.. so, if i do hurt anyone unknowingly here.. i apologise too..
SO LET'S FORGIVE EA OTHER! if we DO HURT EA OTHER UNKNOWINGLY.

Haiz.... found a very stupid yet easier way to post msg here, its getting really upsetting.
Hey ppl, sorry for MIA for so long. Was bz with exam which is finally over! Yeah! and I just got back from a 2 week holiday. shiok. Travelled almost half of China, hahaha. WHat can I say, 6 flights n 1 overnight train, see n experience things I never had before... this is wat I call life. Hope I can continue this type of journey forever. But for now, need to go earn more $ for my next journey, where should i go next?
Hello AKians
Came in to check n thank parrot. Yes, I am lvg Singapore frm 18 June n will only b back by end Dec 07. But I will try to tag frm where I am if I get the chance.
Wishing u all the best in your study too and all undertakings. Stay cool... n fun..n lovable..n smart.
Bird and all..keep up the spirit.
hot hot hot. The weather ah, daboleh tahan. If not for job seeking, I would rather stay inhouse or go swimming. Aiyo, dolphin needs water water water.
Today I went to queue for an hour + for the famous donut factory... bought 2 dozens. But hor... I think so so lah, I like donuts but not carzy over it. Ask me to queue another timr... maybe not. :p
Wah lau! Donuts! You nvbr tell me so I can lombang u buy for me.
Today the weather is killing me...give me some cool air please.
I took a cab to go for an interview this morning, and u know what, juz when when cab turned to a junction, it collided with a motorist. I was bz sms'ing then, so I cldn't witness the whole thing. I v kiasu leh..immediately I told the driver I nd to catch another cab to rush for my interview...lucky I didn't late for the intvw. But hor, becos I called to inform them I wld be late due to the accident..in the end the interviewer rmbr me clearly leh...tsk tsk
Aiyo, dolphin...u hor...nvbr call me and tell me u buy donuts leh..
Dear doggy, I bought 2 dozens n my mom is wondering to finish them all in one go or giving them away cos the fridge does not have enough space for it. You want to come n get some from me? I can sell you at $2 each, I got all the favours. Need to earn some labour cost for standing there in high heels for more than an hour. :p
this is not a way for me to spend my holidays.
i am like slacking every single day off.
going out, partying away.
hit the bed at 6am, and leave the house again in the afternoon
how many times must i tell myself to start on my sketching. how many times must i procastinate.
but i did watched three movies with my gang. learnt alot about shootings. which i think it will be helpful to me in the near future.
First of all i want to apologise to piglet. Sorry, sorry, sorry. didnt mean to cause mayhem in cs. was having a lousy day dat day, actually wanted to peek w/o tagging but wn i saw samco's blog, it struck a chord n i juz had to let off my feelings for the day aft seeing so many new projects sprouting up in the horizon juz 2 days into the work week. so next time i'm in a bad mood, i hv to tell myself to resist the urge to type! But i do agree dat some things need to be said, should not be left unsaid. Just have to do it in a nice way. Its the 'wat is the nice way?' which can be hard to achieve. ok, dats all frm me on this already closed topic. take care everyone and good nite.
Parrot, I partied almost every weekend when I was younger, my mom practically gave up on me. She din even bother asking me where I was going or what time I'll be back. But later I'm sicked of partying n become guai guai gal who go home for dinner everyday. My friend said this before, be bad when you are young n you will turn good when you grow up. Be good when young and be bad at adulthood, it will be hard to be good again.
But take care n dun over-party.

I reached tibet on 27th by plane from Shangri-la, left tibet for xi-ni on train on the 30th! So think we just missed each other. Did you take e 4 soft bed cabin? I took that and it was quite comfortable. The scenery on the train was shiok right? Did you manage to see the rare 藏羚羊？ I did see some, lucky, and some deers too. the train trip is really memorable.

S'porean trained at British celeb chef's restaurant to set up own eatery to groom wayward youths
HE managed to do what most chefs dream about - work at British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Fifteen.
Mr Se Teo (above), pictured here in his old restaurant, didn't get to meet Oliver when he was working in the celebrity chef's restaurant.
Oliver, popularly known as The Naked Chef, is the author of many cookbooks and his television shows are a staple in more than 50 countries.
Tables at the trendy Fifteen restaurant are booked three months in advance.
Mr Benny Se Teo, 47, is the only Singaporean so far to have worked in the restaurant. He was there in April last year.
Mr Se Teo, who became a chef in 2005, worked there as a kitchen helper for a month.
But it wasn't just cooking skills he wanted to pick up at Fifteen.
He also wanted to see how the non-profit restaurant helps disadvantaged youths and juvenile delinquents by training them as chefs to keep them away from crime.
A former drug addict, Mr Se Teo was in and out of jail four times between 1980 and 1993. His life changed for the better after he went to a drug halfway house in 1993.
The experience at Fifteen inspired him to open a similar restaurant late last month.
Called Eighteen Chefs, it's located in Eastpoint shopping centre near Simei MRT station.
Mr Se Teo said: 'I feel proud to know that I was the first Singaporean to work there. It was a humbling experience because I had to learn many things, not just in cooking but also in helping juveniles.'
Fifteen's director, Mr Liam Black, confirmed that Mr Se Teo was the only Singaporean to have worked there.
The restaurant's website states that it does not recruit trainees outside the UK, but Mr Black said they made an exception for Mr Se Teo.
Mr Black said over the phone from London: 'He said he was keen to come over and we said, 'Why not?'. We always welcome similar-minded people from around the world.'

oh yeah, i did my stencil, just now. haha. like so finally. how long have i procastinating. mayb that's something not very impt, have been prioritising my stuffs in a good and lovely manner, i just love the way thinggoes. yeah, school started. looking back at the holiday, i slacked. only did one pathetic sketch, one stencil, 12 graphics, one blog, 2 movies watched and reviewed. damn it. slacker heh. oh yeah, things have been going well over at this side. how's things over there?
did i tell you guys that i fell frm the bike a few weeks ago? if some of you read my blog, you guys will be updated about this. it was really a bad and malu fall, even though it is in the early morning, but still it was paisae. i got this guy fren to lomb bang me home, cause we go chill at someone's house before that, both of us were blur! cause we didnt sleep much, no, we didnt sleep a wink at all! haha, mayb that's why, so the bike was going over some small and shallow drain, and the bike actually tripped over it, cause we were moving too slwoly. and yes, i got threw flat on the ground, in a slow motion. HAHA. but the fun part was, my fren asked me if i am okay, helping me up, so i was like," eh, wait who are you?!" it really did scared him out of his wits. mayb i shouldnt joke about this kind of thing! haha, but it's fun. one word of advice: dont try to cycle in the early morning. now i think i am scared of bikes now.

hi~ morning to 070707.. triple 7 is supposed to be lucky..why is 7 a lucky no?
to the chinese 7 = symbolizes 'togetherness' eg. The cowherd n the weaver, mythology meet on the 7th day of the 7th mth (lunar).. so many couples will be rushing to the altars on tis day..
however, our ghost month also falls on the no. 7.. is considered unlucky..
7 days in a week
7 heavens
7 dwarves
7 seas
7 sins
7-yr-itch
7 planets
7 emblems of the Buddha
7 is a holy no in the Bible if i am not mistaken..
we're supposed to rest on the 7th day..
Is '7' really a fortunate no. or is it an obsession?

"Horror: Lin Yu Zhong kissed Lin Jun Jie"
"To promote his album, Lin Yu Zhong went to a gay pub in Taiwan called Funky. There, he got “high” and started kissing Lin Jun Jie. Usually reserved Yu Zhong even stripped himself under the cheers of the homosexuals. Lin Jun Jie was very ticklish and claimed that Lin Yu Zhong was very gentle. He added that he will bring along his good friend A-du along, so they can all get high together. Lin Yu Zhong also commented that Lin Jun Jie face was smooth"

hello everybody* with half dead eyes. haha, i like linyuzhong's songs leh! why they so gua ming zheng da one? aiyo! bad influnece to the kids la! well, talking about kissing, this dumb guy in my class attempted to kiss me on the cheek when the two of us were taking photos, but i managed to siam away! hahahaha, how smart of me! how scandlous can this be, wellm, my fren took the photo and i forced her to delete.
well, i do kiss before a girl in public before. haha, the feeling is..weird.
flying into the forest of hmks. i am like so dead. 40 sketches, one a2 piece(in ink), 3 colours assignment, 9 photographs, figure sketche, face sketch. that's what i need to do. HAHAHA.
laughing at the hmk, and disappearing away.....
What should I say... well, never trust strangers? Anyway, its over liao and I dun wanna tok abt it anymore, treat it as a lesson learnt.
parrot still as bz as ever? hahaha, hope I won't really see a Parrot, with multiple colors on her the next time i see her.
flamingo, kissing doesn't seem to be a very big deal now. Nong nong time ago, idols drama u won't see much kissing, just in case the fans will attack the opposite their idols kissed. But not... idol drama no kissing no fun at all... hahaha. i love kissing scenes. :p *smuck*
Idol dramas! How I love them....
Fav : First Kiss 惡作劇之吻﹐Hana Yori Dango 流星花園, 花樣少男少女﹐薔薇之戀 etc. If you ask me what are their common point, well... the male lead character must be handsome, cute, rich and athletically strong. And the female lead character would be someone who is poor, not very that good looking and its Cinderella story. By looking at how popular these dramas are, I'm not the only one dreaming of fairly tales. Some ppl said that dramas are
dreams, how true they are.
K, let talk abt the new hippos' album, what u guys think abt this? Have being listening to it for the past few days, quite easy to guess which are those written by the hippos, which are not. The one that let the most impression on me, and really give me that "huh? sure or not" feeling is.... "So Sad".
First thing on my mind is that this is a very thai song, and true enough, it is a remake, chinese version, of a thai song. The music is ok, but with the lyrics... not sure should laugh or cry, 哭笑不得. I think the lyrics is quite lame (-_|||) and the whole song is very not MLB. Anyway, i had treated it as an entertaining song. :p
But the rest of the songs are quite ok. Personally, I really love 適應, Acoustic version. Made me think of how I fallen in love with the hippos... because of 身邊,the acoustic live version during Superband. I'm a sucker for unplug versions. :P
