Hairspray

It’s definitely a movie for the underdogs. If ugly were the new beauty, this movie surely takes this saying to a new level, in it’s musical way. When it comes to movies, personally, I love surprises, and I mean the good kind. And I have to say, this show is full of it. At first, I thought it’s just another teen musical flick and so, only wanted to catch Hairspray just for the fact that Michelle Pfeiffer is in it cos it’s been so long since I last saw her on the big screen. But after watching it, I felt good and I’m thinking to watch for a second time now.

Back to one of my fav Hollywood actresses, as usually, she looked gorgeous and she actually sang in the movie. I was SURPRISED. Haha… And of course, all “Ally-mcbeal” fans should know that James Marsden is a good singer and you can see him, not only sings, but doing his moves in Hairspray as well. Last but not least, there is the lady’s choice, Zac Efron, and Brittany Snow to make the teen flick complete.

As for why I said this is the movie for the underdogs, those who watched it should know jolly well. And for those who haven’t watched it, you should go buy a ticket to find out for yourself. I don’t wanna give too much details away and kill the surprises. Cheers…

Wake me up when September ends....




It's official!!! The big date is 27th September 2007. I'm keeping my mind open as new characters come and old ones go...But I'm sure it's going to be all good, I mean...seriously...

My new toy


It’s what I have been busying with for the past 3 weeks. It’s big and hot and the best part is, it’s free of charge. Training is needed to prevent the user from getting hurt by it and it’s better to play it in groups if you get what I meant. Finally, I managed to get some pics of it. Let me now present to you my new toy: Stream power plant.

The various components are:

The boiler which turn water to steam

Steam pass to the superheater to become superheated vapor

finally to the steam turbine to the generator to produce electricity

Some readings to obtain for calculations

According to the lab tech who bought the power plant, any part of the component can easily cost up to a few million dollars. But for us, MAE students in ntu, it's free. For a geeky student like me, it's a good thing.

I’m sorry…I’m sorry that some days, I just feel like renting an old, sad, classic movie and watched it alone at home. I know, I already watched it over a million times and I knew that storyline whereby the girl cried, with all the stuff he had left behind, while asking why he is not coming back tonight.
And I know, I know it’s just a movie. I’m sorry, but I just like to get into the mood, to let my heart squeeze a little bit, to feel or even cry a little. All because life moves so fast, everyone moves too fast, but I’m not over it yet. I’m not ready to move on…I’m sorry.

Corrinne May knows best


Not long ago (also not really recently), I asked my friends and the people around me this question: “How is it possible for one to get natural HIGH?” Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get a satisfying answer from anyone, until I caught this song on the radio. “Something about you” by Corrinne May. I’m enlightened but, as you know, one question leads to another, so Where are you?... ( If you get what I meant)

默契 = Ecstasy

儿时就玩在一起，
渐渐了解彼此的个性。
我知道你不说的秘密，
你清楚我不高兴会到哪里。

我感冒，你也在流鼻涕，
甚至懂我几时会放屁。
喜欢的音乐第一个告诉你，
只因为我知道你也爱听。

时间没有拉远我们的距离，
因为说好永远在一起。
争吵就帮彼此擦干泪滴。
哭后，不好的都忘记。

朋友，默契是你给我的Ecstasy。
喜欢的地方，我们一起去。
我不想说的，你都会不提。
讨厌的东西，还好你也不会把它理。

爱人不如一位好知己，
我的知己就是你。

PS: 默契 - 1. 交往;密切關係, 2. 和諧一致

Ecstasy - produces intensely pleasurable effects – including an enhanced sense of self- confidence and energy. Effects include feelings of peacefulness, acceptance and empathy.

A lot...


A lot of good habits too hard to keep
A lot of good friends too hard to meet
A lot of good deeds too hard to commit
A lot of good stories too hard to believe

A lot of good games too hard to win
A lot of good nights too hard to sleep
A lot of good songs too hard to sing
A lot of good dreams too hard to live

A lot of good results too hard to beat
A lot of good shoes too hard to fit
A lot of good veges too hard to eat
A lot of good choices too hard to pick

爱的巧克力...


Baby 是你，我的 Honey
让我心情，永远开心。
只要能和你在一起，
做什么，我都答应。

Baby 是你，不要怀疑。
没有别人，你是唯一。
你要的每一样东西，
做什么，我都答应。

你说的每一句话我都爱听，
你每一个笑容我都珍惜。
台风，下雨不敌你一颗泪滴。
永远记得你爱吃的巧克力。

Family Potrait

Was at my cousin (chuyan)'s place when my mom decided to take a few photos of ourselves... Pics really do mean a thousand words (said or unsaid) when it comes to family. Here we are...

Mom n Chuyan

Mom and I

Chuyan and I

Chuyan and I making faces

You know honeymoon is over when...

your new school timetable is up!!! kindof sad but I must say I did enjoy my 3 months break, even for the fact that I have to go back to school 3 times a week, in the first month, for my psychology classes. Compared to last year, I am having alittle less anticipation now maybe because I'm not "new bird" anymore. But still, there are stuff to get used to, for example, prepare for lectures and quizs, doing tutorials and REALLY STUDY for a BETTER GPA. Yah, tell me about it...

My face on edveNTUre?!?


One of my China friends just spotted my face on edveNTUre website and asked me to log in to see for myself. I am not 100% sure if it’s me, due to the size of the pic but I do see some similarities there. But you know what, I trust my China friends since they are all so smart and cautious and take every small single detail so ever carefully. Here is the pic and I will let you be the judge.

My first attempt at cooking: Fried Rice


After watching “大小爱吃”, I am somehow convinced/tricked into believing that cooking isn’t really a difficult task. So I decide to cook my own lunch today but the only ingredients I can found in my fringe are some cabbage, lean meat and leftover rice. And that decides my dish to be …Fried Rice.

It’s really my first try in cooking and I didn’t really think of posting an entry about it. So I didn’t take the pics of the prepared ingredients which I washed and sliced and fried. However, after tasting it, I decided to write about my successful attempt and took a pic of the done dish. I’m so proud of myself, so much so that more attempts will be coming up (I hope). Hahaha…



The end result: (Believe it or not?) A delicious lunch and a satisfied customer

Heroes Parody...


It's supposed to be a good show and then you have this...



And of course if someone were to do it, no one does it better than Madtv. It's a lazy saturday afternoon but it's good to, at least, exercise our cheek muscles.

Talking about days of our lives…



With all the army things going on right now (who says anything about LHY? Who? Who?) and the 9pm drama which is showing on channel 8 now, remind me of my army days. So this morning, I went to flip the pages of my journal I wrote in camp and came across the entry I now still find it quite funny when I rethink of it. Here it goes…

060105 (Thurs)

-Don’t be lazy!!! Must always wake up for breakfast…It’s the right thing to do, if not (before), CSM gives EXTRAS…
-B4 SOC, or other exercise, do equipment check! It’s not the men’s fault to forget stuff, it’s commanders’ fault not doing their duties to ensure.
-Commanders Vs High creditable Men
-Don’t wait 4 things to happen. Initiative…
-Don’t always treat men like friends. Know what’s the right time.
-Sispec’s Specialist Creed. Work according to that.
“I am the Specialist of Singapore Army,
With pride I lead,
I excel in my specialist field,
I ensure the discipline of my soldier and readiness of their equipment,
I will overcome adversity with my fighting spirit,
I will defend Singapore with my life.”
-Commanders do your jobs. Punish the men if necessary. Don’t wait for PS or PC to punish. If not, then you are not doing your job.

End

Thinking back, I guessed we are all trying to learn to do the right things. Failure is not a bad thing if it made us a better person. The funny thing is, most of the words in that entry came from an officer whom I slowly lost respect to as time went by. Still I wish him all the best and ORD is still the best thing which has happened to me so far.

Instant Noodles...


Me: Er…do u know the correct way of cooking instant noodles?

Grandma: What’s wrong?

Me: Just that it’s healthier to change the boiling water after the noodles is cooked.

Grandma: Why?

Me: To remove the wax.

Grandma: Ghosts also eat candles, it’s time to get used to wax.

What makes you so sure that you will wake up from your sleep?


So my friends and I was chatting the other day.

Lazy bum (LB): “Woh, weijie, you still on holiday right? So good, can stay up late and sleep like nobody’s business. How I wish I can sleep away my Monday blues and never need to wake up for work.”

Me: “What makes you so sure you will wake up from your sleep?”

LB (pause for awhile): “Come on lah, my 10 alarm clocks are not toys I put in my room for fun. And setting them every night before I sleep is not a hobby I enjoy. They, of course, have to wake me up.”

Opps...I guessed she was pissed maybe because she was looking for some comfort and not another question from me.

Another lazy bum (ALB): “Besides, we still have our secret weapon, which is, our mom. She will never let us have the chance of skipping our ‘delicious’ breakfast prepared by her.”

Me: “But that’s all provided that you are able to wake up right? What if you really sleep and never wake up? How your brain tells your eyes to open and body to start engine again?”

Marcus AKA The 4D guy: “For me, it’s the calling. For example, I had this dream last night. It’s about 4 chickens laying 5 eggs. 4-7-5-0… Woh, I have to go buy this number. Thanks for remaining me buddy.” And off he went.

Me: “…”

LB: “LoL, I got to go too. Lunch hour is over. Talk to you later. Bye.”

ALB: “ Haha… me too. And don’t think so much, weijie. See you.”

Haven’t really gotten my answer, I proceed to ask a few others…

A maid: “I never sleep. I just close my eyes for 2 hours. Mom and Sir want me to go market buy breakfast. If not, they send me home, back to Indonesia.”

A+ Scholar: “You see, it’s the habit we have since we were born. Of course, babies need more sleeps to let their brains develop and rest, but still, it’s their inner ability to cry and wake up for food and respond to the outer environment. That’s why, for those unconscious patients in hospitals, the longer they sleep, the less likely chance they will wake up….”

A lawyer: “Time is money. Sleep is no money. I love money. I live for money. Talk some more, I need you to give me money.”

An old man in the park (smile): “Are you talking to me? Haha…you good boy…”

A primary school student: “Cannot be late for school. Teacher will scold scold. I must do homework and be a good student then my mommy will buy for me presents.”

A bimbo: “I sleep so I can have no eye bag and stay pretty. Why wake up? Haha…I haven’t think about that.”

Last but not least,

A little girl named ally: “whatever!?!”

If there’s reincarnation, are you still scared of death?


It’s like God gave you a new ticket
To return to earth, to live again.
Time and situations may change,
But memories stay the same.

It brings a new way to how people connect.
Your family was mine beforehand.
I may be only four,
But I can show you that I lived before.

I still remember your grandpa’s name.
In my past, we were friends.
He died a year before Johnny was born.
At least that’s the name I now called.

For every death, there’s always a reborn.
As unbelievable as it may sound, it’s not.
God can do what Science cannot.
Belief is what we have got.

If there’s reincarnation,
Are you still scared of death?

Heroes : Rogue Wave- Eyes




The show and song I am hooked to right now.
Here's my version,

In my mind


Called you on your phone.
A guy picked up and told me you were not at home.

Well I didn’t know if it’s true,
There’s nothing I could do,
I putted down the phone,
But one thing I’m sure is you’re in my mind,
In my mind, in my mind…

Where’ve you gone this time?
It’s been 3 months and look at what you have done.

Winter is here,
It’s coming a new year.
You disappeared,
But one thing I’m sure is you’re in my mind,
In my mind, in my mind…

You are not me


My life has its perks and lousy times.
Still, it’s up to no one but me to define.
So quit saying I’m the champion when I rock,
Quit saying I’m fine when I’m not.

Don’t apologize cos I won’t die without.
I will find my own way, I don’t need your help.
Don’t cry, I hate it when you get loud.
Plus the fact that my mom can fake it better
Without making any sound.

Don’t try to find me, don’t even try to call.
Haven’t you noticed, you are not wanted anymore.
Go be someone else’s thorn,
Go find someone else to play along.

Everyone wishes…


Everyone wishes to have super powers,
The ability to be invisible,
To fly, to predict the future,
To prevent from getting hurt.

Everyone wishes to be super heroes,
To be the one in control,
To be in the know,
To be able to tell your love ones to stay out of danger and where to go.

Everyone wishes to be super natural,
To have a mission to save the world,
To at least come out with something to make life easier,
To be that someone special.

Everyone wishes for God to be a little biased,
To make each of us a little stronger.
The rules stay the same,
We are always the winners.
