泡沫

悠扬的风铃声似乎是在为嘀嗒嘀嗒的钟声伴奏。夜深人静之时，一切显得那么平静，周遭的人都睡得那么安详。“为什么……”不停地在脑中转动。回忆起从前，一切都变得微不足道。从前看似晴天霹雳的经验，顿时变得那么渺小，根本不值得相提并论。

难道世界上真有解决不了的问题？曾经以为，“天下无难事”能概括所有的事；曾经相信，“皇天不负有心人”是真理；曾经断定，“柳暗花明又一村”会发生在每个人的身上。原来，这一切都只是泡沫……灰飞烟灭了。能否再重拾信心，抗争到底？

幕然回首，发现无论成就多高，都掩饰不了内心的创痛。人生虽很充实——不愁吃、穿；成绩良好；家庭和乐。表面上看来一切都很美好，但这一切是否只是泡沫？

健康为最重要的财富。少了健康，一切都不重要…………

New Doraemon phone!

This is a wonderful Christmas!

On Christmas eve, went for a badminton game in the afternoon with Deary, before going home to change... In the evening, went over to his place first, and he opened his presents haha gave him a Tigger soft toy and a pair of Crocs... after that we went to his cousin's place for X'mas party,

basically just to eat lol.. got shampoo and notebook for gift exchange... after the party, we went Vivocity to watch movie! 2330 movie, so will be counting down in the cinema? Well of cos we didn't do so... was too engrossed in the movie...

Yup we watched Sherlock Holmes! A nice movie!

After movies, cabbed home and then i opened my present... Received a doraemon hp from Deary!

so happy~~ its all doraemon..

Went to Zoo on Christmas day with Deary, sis and Zan... it was a surprise planned by Zan for my sis, she was shocked to see us hahha.. It was very crowded! Didn't know that so many ppl will go zoo on holidays.. it was tiring but fun... walked around the whole zoo, spent alot of time looking the monkeys and such... my favourite is still the penguins! they have the south africa penguins there very small and cute, just like those in Madagascar the movie...

After zoo, we went 10dollar KTV at Chinatown, sang many songs and we were doing stupid things... It was a fun and fulfilling Christmas day!

Went for tuition today, wanted to give Nic his present, but my blur bro gave away the wrong present, and gave his fren Nic's present instead.. guess will have to give Nic his present nx year lol.. Anyway, really like the present Nic gave me, it was a small wind chime with a little book with inspirational quotes.. the wind chime is now hanging on my window... And also a bottle of red wine, shall save it for farewell party for my bro before he leaves for south africa hhaha...

Forgot to mention that my parents, together with my bro bought me a new cabinet to put my doraemon stuff as my Christmas present! Am so happy! Just finished assembling it, and placed my doraemon stuff inside hahah it's almost full lol... So happy! This is a great X'mas present, but of cos, my results is the best X'mas present for the year ^_^

Happy~~

Results are out! and i'm very happy with my results... did better than what i expect, and improved my CGPA by 0.09! Really glad that I got my first A in NIE hahah..

Well, met up with tjlib ppl yesterday at City Hall, then we went to play bowling at Marina Square, it's been long since I last bowled, so for the first game, did rather badly for 1st few rounds, luckily it got better after a while... Second game was better, managed to score 104, 20 more than 1st game hahah.. had a game of pool after that, wasn't good at it, just played cos the others wanted to do so...

After that we had dinner at Swensen's... Tried the new Chilli crab pasta, tastes good! nice sauce.. after that while waiting for Raf, Sihui and i shared a Banana Crumble... sinful but nice lol indulgence once in a while should be fine =p

Took train with them to Tamp, cos sis sending Zan back home and take something from his house.. and she's not confident to drive alone yet so asked me to meet her to be her passenger home lol.. reached home nearly at 12, so i faster eat the tang yuan, cos my mum say need to eat before the day ends...

Yup so that ends my happy day! Happy for my results, as well as all my frens who did well!

Went Bugis with parents on Sunday, walked around and went temple to pray... It was very crowded.. then we went Bedok, they had early dinner while i walked around first, waiting for Deary to meet me for dinner... we had curry chicken and yong tau hu at Bedok interchange there, yummy food.. after that, since its still early, we decided to walk to Tamp. Safra, cos we meet my sis and Zan for tennis from 8-10pm.. so we slowly walked, and pass by Bedok reservoir, and went to sit down and rest and chat awhile before continue walking... Tennis was great! the weather was cooling too so we enjoyed ourselves.. I think this game was better than the previous one, though we were all still not very good at it... It was home sweet home after the game...

Went to Haw Par Villa yesterday morning... Decided to go there cos last week when we were on our way to Kent Ridge Park, we saw that the bus will pass by Haw Par Villa, so we decided to pay it a visit... the last time(which is also the only time) i visited it was more than 15 years ago... was still in Kindergarden then... Frankly speaking, i can't really remember what was there, could only remember bits through the photos... A nice and interesting trip, went to see the 18 storeys of Hell, seeing what will ppl be punished for their evil deeds during life..

After that, we went Orchard to watch movie.. Watched Bodyguards and Assassins, quite a nice show i think.. after that we shopped around and walked to Dhoby Ghaut... got a few X'mas presents...

Just made Tang Yuan... later going to make some more food haha..

Stayed home whole day yesterday, packing my room, setting up Christmas tree, and placed all presents under the tree alr ^_^ most importantly, to think through carefully and make a decision.. and yup i've finally decided, though it may not be the best, but i believe i alr considered all aspects, and weighed the differences already..

After tuition today, went to eat the famous fried chicken with Nic... too bad its raining, else we'll walk to our destination.. so we ate the fried chicken, and he's saying that i purposely suggest eating this after our bet.. hhaha i'm not that scheming k i alr asked him bout this long ago =p and yeah we up the bet to a watch, hoping that he'll have greater motivation.. but it doesn't really seem to work, cos we had Carl's Junior for dinner lol.. though he ate the low carb veggie burger, its with lots of mayo! anyway, i got a few more doraemon stuff to add to my collection =)

Going to play tennis tomorrow, after a sinful day of eating unhealthy food today =p Results will be coming out soon, the date given is 24th Dec, but usually they'll release few days before the date given, so perhaps mon or tue.. am a little worried, cos of the 2 eng mod this sem, really afraid that they'll pull down my cgpa.. well worrying doesn't helps now, just hope that everything will be ok, cos I've already done my best!

Was talking to my mum yesterday, and then she told me that she's the type who'll do things that she thinks is the best and be happy, and not wait till the future.. i guess she's right, we can't always wait, we should do things that we deemed as correct, and never live with regrets... after seeing my aunt's condition, and some of my fren's situations plus the few incidents I've been through, I realised, that life is really really unpredictable, so always live everyday to the fullest, and follow your dreams.

ok i think this post is a little random..

I suddenly realised that I'm quite fickle-minded.. at least for today, cos for awhile I thought I've made up my decision, but the next moment I think otherwise. LOL. Really dunno how to make the best decision... =(

Went SGH on tue, for review as well as to visit 3rd aunt.. she's hospitalised again, heard that her chemo treatment din went too well =( life isn't all smooth sailing..

Went to few of the national parks on wed.. we started from kent ridge park, walked through the canopy walk, then proceed to hort park.. the flowers in the glass house at Hort park was very nice! played awhile at the playground and rested haha cos it was very hot... yup then we continued walking, passing by Henderson waves, a very nice bridge that links to Telok Blangah hill... we then reached Mt Faber park, this is my first visit there lol really nice place, think it'll be even more nice at night.. i din even know that there's a merlion there! hahah took some photos, then just as we want to leave the park and continued with Marang trail(the trail that leads to Harbour front mrt), we saw a squirrel on a tree trunk! its so cute! all photos on facebook alr ^_^ it was a nice trip, though a little tiring cos we walked for nearly 4 hours, sweating alot.. reminds me of the trip to Bako national park in Kuching-Sarawak this Jun.. it was fun anyway, really enjoyed it!

Received a Christmas card from Doris, thanks gal! haha but i'm not tat strong as you described lol, i just try to make myself live life to the fullest so that i will not have any regrets in future ^_^

Its been an eventful week haha.. Met up for K-lunch with XR, WY and BY on tue, and then we went shopping in Tampines with WY fetching us hah..

Played badminton with Deary on thurs morn, before sending my Olympus camera in for servicing.. The camera cant withstand the cold weather in Shanghai I think, cos it jammed, and cant switch it on/off.. some pictures taken have lines across it as well, sad... anyway, the person recommended me to get the u Tough series, which is shock proof, weather proof and water proof, but its so ex! after the trade in of 20% still costs $470+.. so am still considering if i should get it.. After servicing my camera, went Bugis area to walk around... yeah sometimes shopping around alone is great haha can take my own sweet time looking at things.. went for facial with sis in the evening before heading home..

On fri, went into JB for their K-lunch... walked around, got some doraemon stuff and a top... then had Kim Gary for early dinner cos deary got tuition in the evening... yup i finally got to eat the hotplate haahh.. went causeway point and walk around, looking for my sis bday present, but cant find any... went compass point after that and met my bro while he have dinner and i have dessert cos i'm too full to eat..

Tuition at TM yesterday, had a bet with Nicholas, he's supposed to lose 4kg by 16Jan2010.. whoever loses the bet will buy a book for the other party.. Well i think this is one bet that i dun mind losing hhah... After tuition yesterday, went Orchard to meet deary, sis and zan.. cos sis signed up for spa package and she's bringing us to use the facilities.. haha its quite relaxing, but the treatments are so expensive! doubt i'll ever sign up lol since i dun like massage...

Went for a spontaneous outing with wanying, xinrou and shiting today... nice wy offered to pick us and drive us around to city hall/bugis area... and i finally got my tennis racket, bought Prince racket... Left earlier to play tennis at bedok... nice and fun game, though all of us dun really know how to play, but quite a nice workout.. aftertat we went 85 hawker to have bah chor mee, satay and hokkien prawn mee... nice food! lucky my bro is at bedok area so he can fetch me home hahaha...

Day in Orchard

Watched Couples Retreat at Orchard Cine yesterday, wanted to watch it cos the island is very nice, seems like a great getaway place haha...

Anyway, went to Orchard 313, i din even know its opened, just happened to pass by so went to take a look, and Uniqlo was having opening sale.. their jeans are selling at only 19.90! but i din get any cos for ladies its all skinny jeans, and i dun really like the colors.. deary got 2 jeans instead haha looks nice ^_^

we went orchard central for quizinos sandwich, tastes great! had wanted to eat but the past few times we went there we were too full to eat so finally satisfied our cravings yesterday haha.. shopped around orchard, and got a few christmas presents and a top for myself.. really happy day~~

goign out for k-lunch with my frens now!

Back from Shanghai!

Am back from 8days Shanghai trip! Went to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi.. 杭州西湖的景色最为优美, 西唐水乡的风景也很迷人。参观了好几个古镇，都类似云南大理、丽江的古城，有小桥、流水、人家。到哪里购物当然也非常愉快，既能享受讨价还价的乐趣，又能买到价廉物美的东西^_^

由于天气寒冷，吃得也特别多，几乎每晚都吃宵夜。他们的路边摊档卖的烧烤、麻辣烫、炒面、炒饭、鸭血粉丝等都非常好吃。不过，我们住的酒店就不是特别好，都没有浴缸。还是上回到云南的酒店较好。买了好多小叮当的东西，我家的两个橱窗都没位子摆了，看来要再增添一个新的橱窗了。

As usual, since we went with tour group, went to alot of designated shopping areas, selling jade, pearl, silk, piqiu, chinese tea and chinese medicine.. waste of time, but no choice, all tour groups have this, luckily ours is a big group, so got alot of ppl buy and they wun target us haha..

Taken at Changi airport terminal 3, so sad my bro din join us for the trip...

This is day 1, on the Maglev train from Shanghai airport.. the highest speed was 430km/h!

This is our first destination in Shanghai - 城隍庙老街

Took this at 南京步行街，its a busy shopping area in Shanghai..

After which, we took bus to Suzhou, and went to 苏州工业园：

Took this at 苏州园林，天黑后还到了寒山寺拜拜。

All these are day 1 photos, too many to upload, shall upload everything on facebook..

It was an enjoyable trip, visiting nice places, eating nice food and cool weather.. i guess my parents are looking forward to the next year end holiday trip alr ^_^
