year after year. the same tune is played, the same song is sung. be it in english,chinese or even canto...each year most people get the chance to sit back and relax on this one special day. not everyone gets to spend their birthdays with their loved ones. sometimes they are in another country, sometimes they are just unable to spend it with people whom they care about due to natural courses of life. however, i had the chance to spend it with my dearest family (except for poor daryl in camp) and i am truly thankful for every moment of it.
well its not my birthday.but happy birthday to my dearest mum!! which is also why i had to miss eve's bdae celeb..so FORGIVE ME DEAR SEXY DATE.

it all started with a plate of rice..to be specific..my dad's superb fried rice =) was feeling lazy and tired and probably cus it was a sunday and a weekend, we didnt wanna go out and mingle with the crowd. dad decided to get some stuff from cold storage and whip up a dish to keep our dear stomachs happy and satisfied..and because of this..did i have the energy..to carry out something i was supposed to do for a long long time.....
with hangers and clothes all over the bed and floor. i set about clearing up my cupboard (long overdue). unfortunately, the clothes that were left to "rot and mould" in the cupboard was not suitable for fleas and the like..(maybe kids ones). if only OP had a refund policy where we could throw back all the clothes that were under their brand and get some money or exchange...
decided to be nice and share some clothes with my dear cousins. these are REALLY NEW. not that we didnt not wear them but i guess my mum just has a knack of ensuring that our clothes look as good as new. must be the new VANISH powder haha that keeps the colour in while washing!
the next pile that had to be cleared were my class tees.haha and no, i couldnt bear to throw them away and besides, i could still wear them so there they were. nicely folded and packed into my cupboard to be promoted from the "cold palace" to some place where there were in my line of sight (and hopefully their chance of being worn shall come)
upon clearing up the clothes..there had to be other things we discovered along the way... this little DBS mushroom bank is not mine (unfortunately) but it is FREAKING heavy. thanks to my brother's prowess of attracting coins like magents and throwing them into this little box that seems to have no base. i think he is the richest kid in the house though he is the youngest..
now. how could i ever miss out on this pair of turtles =) the cutest shoes ever that kept me warm when i was far away. left in the cold. alone in the room. and the person that gave it to me..is now far away. not so cold in her room and ending her internship soon. well done dear and hope my "virtual presence" has managed to keep you nice and warm too!!! enjoy your time with your dear buddie for the week!
in the midst of the cleaning and clearing up, 2 different animals decided to come along and catch up on old times. the dog named coco and the bir named...er...bird decided to sit down and make better friends.
and this picture..really ends off my day of packing clearing sneezing and washing. the tigger that represents me. the dear sister that gave me the tigger on the left and the dear boy that gave me the tigger on the right.
the packing was good. the clearing was fun. the "friendships" made were special but most importantly, the memories that came back as i read notes, read cards, saw presents and love in all shapes and sizes.
thanks to you if you enabled me to keep something special.
thanks to you for coming into my life.
*more packing to go in time to come*

short update on a past event..had a good dinner gathering with some of the pilot friends at this place called...one-twentysix! we went to the east coast branch.wow! good ambience fantastic food and of course brilliant company to top of the night =D
introducing my friend bernie..the one and only girl who can sing and dance for you anytime anywhere. she is a strong girl who has had some complications during birth. her presence till today is really God's grace and we are grateful all the same. =)
nice cod fish! the best! the one and only. seriously the fish just melts in your mouth on first bite and they have this super nice sauce that goes perfectly well with it =). oh the vegetables are nicely sauteed as well and marinated for some time. rocks. i dont have a picture of the beef that my dad ate. but omg. that beef was really cooked to medium..super nice and really just oozes out with juice upon biting into it. not cheap of course but you totally understand why you pay so much for it.
my dear busy brother..who was trying to organise some soccer stuff. haha poor him. managed to get out unscathed from commando training thankfully and cleared all 3 jumps of his (thankfully) and now he has to book out late on saturdays and things like that. haha well at least he is in the battalion that has got the winning luck for the past dont know how many years through =)
the kids from the pilot gang! whooohooo!
rock chick bernie haha. cute right. she really is sucha bundle of joy =)
yes short update from some thing that happened some time ago. well more upates to come on other things but ciaos for now my friends.
side note:
i always thought that being around someone all the time would just equate to sianness and boredom cus
you are always together doing the same things so what else is there to share or talk about?
well.i guess its different now. hopefully so.

some random person on facebook sent me a stpd message today.
-_- lames.
i think some people just have really low confience in their other halves..or might just feel so super insecure which results in them
sending messages like these
thanks for the tip pal but if you were to have someone special..
i can assure you that person would be either blind or a complete
idiot =)
i rest my case.

this is the 3rd time im retyping this blog post. not because the computers crashed or anything but i guess..not much motivation to blog about anything.
short updates on my life: 3rd week into the internship at csc! its been a good run so far, managed to learn quite abit ESP brushing up my spss skills...
researching has been tiring but its not boring cus the topics that i have to help research on are not the usual things that happen in school.
realise NUS focuses so much on all the bio/cog/dev/abnormal psych stuff..how about industrial org psych?
my colleague once asked me which part of psych i was interested in. in the past i would definitely say child abnormal straight away without thought cus that by far has really been the most interesting..now im just thinking how it can be applied to working life in the future. i think its easy to say that we can just go into academia..or become a psychologist and help these children.
then again.how much can we actually help these children. the passion has to be there in the first place.
my colleague did cog psych all the way before switching to I/O psych because he felt that it was more applicable in life and work. after working at csc, i have probably come to a similar conclusion though of course everything is still open.
being involved in some sorts of psych in the workplace now has made me realise that there are other options for psychologist to enter.
i have been too guarded in my outlook
and now my options are truly open.
i thank God for giving me the chance to do this intern.even without the help from school prog. hopefully, it will put me in better stead in the future =)
wimbledon finals! go FED FED FED!
p.s lunch everyday *winks*

met evelyn and kaiwei for dinner today. food was good! company was AWESOME.
really cant wait for the weekend to come..yes work ends but more importantly, finally i would be back at NUS..meeting people who i so dearly miss and being in an environment that is so familiar yet so foreign at the same time.
exciting.
everyday FOP comes and goes and comes and goes. and its true. the passion for it just never dies. no matter what, i am grateful for being called into the committee at the very last hour during my first year. i was more than happy to help out in oweek. arts camp 08 was a different exp being pushed into a different role. sadly had to miss oweek but nevertheless..i know my good buddies did a hell of a job with it.
now we are all gone. but back as supporters.onlookers.friends.
good luck for camps my friends. never say never.
as you can tell..just look at us. the bonds shared will never fade.ever.
