well you see, i decided to attend today's meeting, thinking that I could at least gain new perceptions, information, insights, whatever about the immersion programme. given the fact that im clueless to what it is about, who my host family is, yada yada, i thought the meeting could be a little more interesting and informative. but hell no! we spent 15 min waiting for the raeum (room) to be unlocked, 5 min settling down, 2 min signing a code-of-conduct form (like kids!) and 45 min doing nothing in the room. do the math yourself. imagine the precious minutes of my life being carried away on time's wing's chariot! and yah! the travelling time on the bus was not included in the one hour can! arghhh!
so that leaves me unsettled with
- so much admin stuff! man!
witch neumann could have recommended us some stuff to buy. like which calling cards offer the lowest rates. or told us more about the debit card system there (and not act so confused about the debit card system - does germany uses a 4 pin or 5 pin code?). or informed us about the train schedule and how the train system works?! or provided us with some tips and precautions? you know stuff along those lines?! like hello? be a little more responsive?
conclusion: she's better off being a witch than a coordinator. maybe shakespeare's company should consider hiring her for their macbeth plays.
argghh! now ive gotta get all these done by the end of next week, preferably.
theres so much to settle. accomodation, the train tickets, etc, etc. im basically clueless to how things work there. hahah! i hope STA will be able to do everything for me.
im not an admin person and i basically HATE to settle administrative stuff! details BORE the crap outta me. to the core. to the core. argh!
given my way, i'll put it off for as long as i can haha! but i know this bothers elizabeth. shes so up and going that i cant catch up with her. (ah hem. in the most singaporean way.. HOR elizabeth? *sniggers*) so haha till then, we shall see. im waiting patiently for our first quarrel to begin. so far, the tide is low. and im seriously thankful for that. by nature, im peace-loving.
really hope everything goes well during the trip. the last thing i want is to be angry with someone just because she doesnt see eye to eye with me?! thats ridiculous. i mean it'll totally affect the mood and it'll be mutually unbeneficial.
and the worst part is - i aint quarrelsome. whos to blame when i have a talkative and quarrelsome travel mate? biggg sighh. but like i said, i guess it beats travelling alone on the 12 hour flight.
hahaha! joking joking! nothing is more valuable than your company, liz.
ok. and then. moving on.
dont roll your eyes. butttt!
Ive finally attended a Political Rally in Singapore!
haha! after twenty years of living, of being bred in this familiar land, of upbringing on the sunny island, i have taken an interest in the political affairs of Singapore. it was really interesting i must say. i never knew Singaporeans were *that* responsive to the opposition party. it was nice to stand among a huge crowd- of mainly uncles and aunties and a few groups of nyjc, hcjc students who decide to also render their support and/or kpo about the workers party's rally. i felt small, under-aged and insignificant. my vote wouldnt have mattered.
though I was perspiring, i had fun listening to gossips of this couple near me. they seemed to dislike the workers party as well. they were kinda condemning wp's policies quite softly, though audibly. and there was this prying aunty who blatantly pried at liz and i half the time. mad idiot! i was really so damn disgusted! hello?! thought she might be an old lesbian until she held her husbands hand minutes later.
other than that... i learnt that
-low tia khiang's command of the chinese language is superb. i thought i could understand mandarin even though i cant speak fluently. but no. i was wrong. i couldnt catch half the things he was speaking about. other than little fragments here and there which dont really make sense to me.
-sylvia lim really knows how to use rhetoric to persuade the masses. i would be persuaded if i hadnt adopted a stand on who i'dl be supporting. not that it matters anyway.
then the issue of supression came to mind. i mean, according to liz, singaporeans aint that vocal when it comes to pap's political rallies and stuff like that. but today, the people in the stadium were rather loud, i must say. cheering, waving flags.
was just wondering whether rallies are the only occasions when the barrier of free speech is removed. haha! think about it.
haha! well well well. what a day. glad i went. (:

GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!
yay! im really glad cause my trip to europe has been confirmed! yahhooo on that! i'll be flying on the 5th June on SQ334 (i think). can you imagine how GOOD god is to me? first and foremost, i have the privilege of travelling on SQ. *ah hem* free of charge! thank you so much SIA. yeap! i am spared from those godforsaken uncomfortable airplanes seats for 14 hours. *sniggers* secondly, i'll be travelling with lizzie. okokok. its not as if its an extremely GOOD thing. but i guess it beats travelling alone. yea. you get my gist.
so ive LOTS of shopping to do this holiday. the shopaholic desire is set ablaze! i cant wait to buy lotsa stuff for myself! hahah! shopping, anyone? so. can you see how excited I am to see france, italy, german, belgium, switzerland, london FACE TO FACE? hahha! ich kann nicht warten.
i wonder how the actual immersion will be. i really hope it will be fun, fun and more fun! i hope i will come back with a whole bag of new german knowledge, insights on europe, stuff like that. i wanna be a little wiser with regard to how people from the different parts of the world go about their way of life. yeap! basically i wanna reap all the advantages travelling can offer.
oh dont remind me ive a meeting tomorrow. arggh. das ist langweilig. boring! (: ive to endure a 40 minute trip on the hot old 151 again. hahaha!
okay. moving on..
ive finally straightened my hair. haha! hmm. conclusion: im more satisfied now cause my hair doesnt look *as* out of shape. BUT! i think i look better with curls. maybe ive to get use to it. haha!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to lianne & the other taggers: decided to write it here instead.
umm i dont like enforcing rules on my blog. i believe in free speech. at the same time, doesnt free speech come with some responsibility?
reluctant tagger, anonymous and to a small extent, liz always say stuff which can sometimes be really insulting. dont you think?
and um lianne, i dont think i'll drop by the open house this week although i am really interested to. too busy though. have lotsa church stuff to settle. so i dont really have the time! sorry about that!
to reluctant tagger: yes. i may promote free speech and stuff like that. i dont practise deleting people's tag cause i dont promote censorship on my blog. but it doesnt mean you can say things wihtout taking people's feelings into consideration. i feel like youre infringing on people's privacy through your tags.
anonymous: youre striking again?!! and commenting on people's diction this time around? why do you sound so lame?!

our world is governed by technology.
is hiding behind computer screens all we can think about in this time and age?
look at my tagboard.
all i did was to advertise my blog on msn and here i am. presented with multiple taggers. people who refuse to be identified. it is as if to say they are nameless? perhaps, we are all nameless. yes, thats a possibility we cannot eliminate. perhaps, we have been long been interpolated into subjects in society especially with the rapid progress of modern technology today. perhaps. perhaps.
other than rebecca, val and angie who are probably the few sane people around, the rest of them are crazy!
liz: more often than not, her comments dont make sense. she is out to insult my blog and its contents. you know, if you dont like reading my blog, you dont have to return.
reluctant tagger: if you are SO reluctant, then DONT tag! who are you anyway? you seem to know every friend of mine. liz, angie. please do not go around saying hi to these people. i see it as a form of harrassment? if you want to know them, get through me. firstly, you NEED to identify yourself.
presence: your nick is really lame. are you some philosopher? if not, please do not attempt to lure me into philosophy. also. i am not a kid. why do i need balloons?! thats insulting, really.
anonymous: i am sure you have a name. c'mon!
all these people. goodness. i think they are insane.
i never knew such mad people existed in the virtual world. it is a wonder why other blogs do not seem to suffer from the same problem as mine.
now. anyway. if you wanna tag, please leave your name alright. its nice to know youre here. take care!

-DREADS!-
argh. im so mad bored. ive work tomorrow. 830am. work work work. i wouldnt agree to work if im not in dire straits. gimme the money! haha!
this is the extent to which a person will go to when she is desperate for moolah.
the early hours. rise and shine.
yes. i love immanuel kant. but as much as i admire him for his discipline to wake up at 530 am, as much as i like someone knocking at my door in the early morning to say "it's time", i HATE waking up at 7am.
i am not an early morning person. you get it?

with reference and regards to elizabeth's tag on how offended she is by my "in passing" comments-
HAPPY ZWANZIG BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH ZHOU AIHUI! herzlichen Glueckwunsch zum Geburtstag!
written in red- i know you'll always feel nostalgic when you think of red&theredwoman. note that its my attempt, in part, to remind you of our young shakespearean endeavours. i loved our little but hell-desperate attempts to decipher the course's essence while trying to condense Shakespeare for our time. lizzieeeezzzzz, youre such a genius! as always!
so dear elizabeth (who is also Woody's toy owner, Karina's best friend, Sidney Prescott's ardent supporter, the witches' enemy, the counterpart of Adam's Rib and Sparky's lover), know that such wishes are from the bottom of my heart. im sure you recognise that words are merely facades which can sometimes conceal your perception of reality from what reality really is. the media course has taught you much, undoubtedly. given how much you enjoy sitting for the exam and how much you enjoy the course's lectures, im sure you'll get my drift in no time. yes? (: you go girl! hahahahhaa! evil laughter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i spent $100 on clothes today. kill me, someone.
one white pants and one brown pants. buy two at a cheaper rate.
no more giordano, finally. but still
a victim of media messages and promotions. arggh!
on the flip side, my cupboard's now fuller, and im happier. (:
i wanna go to geylang to eat pig trotters. er, like now. now. only if someone's kind enough to go with me.
anyway, im so glad the exam's over. ive never felt so stress-free for a long time! imagine the scenarios when i entered the exam hall with an almost blank mind, only to realise that people around me were writing furiously, vigorously, as if they were *that* passionate in what they're saying. haha!
today, as i strolled along the streets of orchard road for the second time after friday, im revitalised! im filled with energy!.. once again!

HELLO EVERYONE! GUTEN TAG!
here's an attempt to refurbish, revamp, restart, relive, revive my two-year dormant blog! (: yup! this blog's for you.
its to remind people like you, my very dear reader of my existence after all these while. haha! also, as you know (or not know) my exams have already ENDED. zu Ende!, so im really happy, glee and gay to blog. hahaha! im done, done, done, and quite screwed actually. but its okay, cause im gonna rejoice for now and divert my attention from the sure and impending, almost certain bad results.
this leaves me with a three-month holiday with lotsa free time in my hands. im all yours for company if you feel youre soo bored (too!) and you need someone to accompany you for shopping trips or makan sessions. ask-me-out, organise a gathering, invite me. whichever.
-isnt this such a lousy and cheap advertisement?
anyway, i'll be leaving for europe in about a month's time. ich kann nicht warten! oh man! i cant wait for it. im really so excited! its simply a dream come true! ive been waiting for it since the beginning of time. haha! i'll be travelling with my hopefully-lovely and only companion. none other than liz! how sad can that be?!
just to mention in passing. its her birthday today by the way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!
we'll be gone for about a month and a half (inclusive of the german immersion programme) to wonderland europe. france-paris. rome. venice. london. and lotsa other places! i cant wait i cant wait i cant wait.
i cant wait to learn german in germany! (: ich liebe Deutsch. Deutsch macht viel SpaB. haha!
yea. learning german is my life, my love for now. until the level 3000 modules and the germans kill my love for it by making it superduper difficult, i'll remain in love with Deutsch.
and yes! im loving germany already.
for your information, i really hope they'll win the world cup this year. haha, yes yes, i know many deem that impossible. but still, as a supporter, i'll say.. go germany go! see, there's even alliteration in it!
hahaha! so im not a loyal brazil fan after all. bahhhhh.
do patronize my blog often. since youre already here.. why not tag on my tagboard and make your presence known? haha! see ya!
