This is interesting..

Stayed up till like now and nearly bored gilbert to death coz me n shawn were talking about religion

Protestant Christians distort facts conveyed about other religions to promote the overall image of their own religion.
The cause of this is mostly due to the roots of the religion, in which protestant Christians broke away from catholic Christians due to differing ideals
Catholics all belong to only 1 church. They have a following of around 1 billion. The worlds population stands at 6 billion. Christians stand at somewhat less then 1 billion
Catholics do not worship mother Mary. There is a difference between worship of a person and honouring her.
There are actually many modern day miracles. Its just that catholic priests prohibit the publication of such materials, until it is scientifically proven. (imagine a miracle proven to be not a miracle and the religious reprecaussions!)
According to them, god is completely benelovent and yet equally just.
Thus you go through a period after death in which there is a purgatory (rather unpleasant) where you are cleansed of your sins. The less sins you commit, the less time you spend there and vice versa.
Thus the whole religion is based on a logical reasoning system which goes to show that everything in this world can be scientifically proven (basis of logic)
Then this brings you to wonder, if everything in this world is actually perfectly logical and not random as perceived. Just part of the greater scheme of things.
Then you cant help but wonder. If everything is logical, perhaps there is a logical explanation to everything just that scientists have yet to discover the meaning behind it.
It is supposedly a fact that all culture world wide is conscious and has developed the thought of belief in a higher being.
However, one cannot help but wonder, whether the cause of this belief was due to people needing understand the world around them, so this belief in a higher being was a coping mechanism that is inherent in all humans to prevent them from breaking down. And all humans are hardwired internally to think like that.
Then you will wonder. So who hardwired us to be like that? It then links back to the issue of creation and whether god really created the world in seven days, or should we take atheists view point that we are a freak occurance of chance where nothingness collided with nothingness and chance created us (the big bang)
Then again, is no atheist in a fox hole (coz when the bullets start shooting everyone prays to god for salvation)
It could be interpreted as that his presence is so pervasive that we cannot help bu think of him at critical moments. However, this highlights human internal weaknesses, and how we always need to believe in something bigger, better and brighter then us as a benchmark for moral salvation.
The perfect, all elusive, solution.
God


Everyone says that the evidence that god exists is everywhere. However, i cant help but wonder if it is just a perceptual biases in which people have the tendency to choose evidence that supports their stand and disregard any evidence that goes against this stand.

Like what the MNO article says..

Qualities of good life is good friends, (good wine :P), good work and good conversation

Thank you for talking to me.. :)

*contented*


Oh ya.. EXAMS ARE OVER!!

Suddenly thought of sth my lecturer said!

The duck theory
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck,
and even looks like a duck,

IT IS A DUCK!

Its simple really...


He's so cute! ahhhh!!

Cultural Intelligence
1) Head -
Observe common traits of people and rationalize

2) Body -
Show evidence of an ability to mirror the customs and gestures of the people around you will prove that you esteem them well enough to want to be like them. By adopting people's habits and mannerisms, you eventually come to understand in the most elemental way what it is like to be them. They, in turn, become more trusting and open.

3) Heart -
Adapting to a new culture involves overcoming obstacles and setbacks. People can do that only if they believe in their own efficacy. Dont be disheartened by set backs! Don't give up!

Use these 3 to full capacity. Only then will you be able to survive in cross cultural situations.

A key principle of compensation is to link more of it directly to performance
1) Don't tie pay to power
2) Make compensation comprehensible
3) Start spreading the news.
4) Pay them promptly so they can link cause n effect
5) Make rewards reversible (not so common n often that they expect it and dont bother to work for it)
6) You can give non-monetary rewards (interesting assignments, etc. But if you create too much supply you end up debasing the currency. A nonmonetary reward quickly loses its value if it's overused.)
7) Don't be a compensation chauvinist (in cross cultural situations watch what you say!)
8) Be Optimistic and dont get disheartened! When it comes to rewarding employees, the key is not how much more you have to give. It's how well you give what you already have.
*** Down side
Rewards Punish - People no longer bother to go above and beyond the call of duty simply because they wont get paid for it. When people don't receive the reward they have been hoping for, they feel punished
Rewards Rapture Relations- Cooproration dissolves(if i help you, you will get reward too! i might get none!) If management is giving out the rewards, Employees don't ask management for help when they need it (conceal problems to appear competent)
Rewards deter risk taking - Do this get that, ppl focus too much on that
Rewards undermine interest - Their work is no longer freely chosen and they lose interest (if they have to bribe me into it its sth i most prob dun wana do)
Thus money is not good as it distracts everyone from the task at hand and it's not a good peroccupation
What works then?
choice, collaboration and content. Choice means workers should participate in making decisions about what they do. Collaboration means they should be able to work together in effective teams. Content refers to the job's tasks. To do a good job, people need a good job to do.

Being a tempered radical
1) rock the boat
First, focusing on something that could be done easily and without causing
a lot of stir. Next, he attacked the problem not by criticizing
other's judgment but by enrolling them in ur agenda
(praising her tempting sandwiches, then making a gentle
suggestion). Third, he illuminated the advantages of the
proposed change by pointing out the benefits to the everyone.
And he started a conversation that, through her,
spread to the rest of the staff. Finally, he inspired
others to action

Tempered radicals bear no banners; they sound no
trumpets. Their ends are sweeping, but their means are
mundane. They are firm in their commitments, yet fiexible
in the ways they fulfill them. Their actions may be
small but can spread like a virus. They yeam for rapid
change but trust in patience. They often work individually
yet pull people together. Instead of stridently pressing
their agendas, they start conversations. Rather than battling
powerful foes, they seek powerful friends. And in
the face of setbacks, they keep going. To do all this, tempered
radicals understand revolutionary change for what
it is-a phenomenon that can occur suddenly but more
often tban not requires time, commitment, and the patience
to endure.
Harnessing the science of persuasion

1)Liking
People like people who geuninely like them

Managers can use similarities to create bonds with a recent hire, the head of another department, or even a new boss.
The important thing is to establish the bond early because it creates a presumption of goodwill and trustworthiness in every subsequent encounter. It's much easier to build support for a new project when the people you're trying to persuade are already inclined in your favor


2)Reciprocity
People repay in kind

Managers can elicit the desired behavior from coworkers and employees by displaying it first Whether it's a sense of trust, a spirit of cooperation, or a pleasant demeanor, leaders should model the behavior they want to see from others.


3)Social Proof
People follow the lead of similar others

persuasion can be extremely effective when it comes from peers
influence is often best exerted horizontally rather than vertically.


4)Consistency:
People align with their clear commitments.

Make their commitments active,public, and voluntary.
People need not only to like you but to feel committed to what you want them to do. Good turns are one reliable way to make people feel obligated to you. Another is to win a public commitment from them
Small, seemingly trivial commitment can have a powerful effect on future actions.
Get it in writing, you'll have greatly increased the odds that he'll fulfill the commitment because, as a rule, people live up to what they have written down.


5)Authority:
People defer to experts. Expose your expertise; don't assume it's self-evident

inform them into compliance
A single expert-opinion news story in the New York Times is associated with a 2% shift in public
opinion nationwide
When an expert's view was aired on national television, public opinion shifted as much as 4%.
Cynics might argue that these findings only illustrate the docile submissiveness of the public
However, truth is, a well-selected expert offers a valuable and efficient shortcut to good decisions. Indeed, some questions, be they legal, financial, medical, or technological, require so much specialized knowledge to answer, we have no choice but to rely on experts


6) Scarcity:
People want more of what they can have less of. Highlight unique benefits and exclusive information.

Managers can learn from retailers how to frame their offers not in terms of what people stand to gain but in terms ofwhat they stand to lose if they don't act on the information.
exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.
** Information given must be given genuine.
Deceiving colleagues into compliance is not only ethically objectionable, it's foolhardy. If the deception is detected-and it certainly will be-it will snuff out any enthusiasm the offer originally kindled. It will also invite dishonesty toward the deceiver. Remember the rule of reciprocity.

Guess what? PMS causes temporary insanity! its true! kinda figured why i acted so strangely sometimes.. hmmm.. maybe its really pms! omg omg omg!

Your PMS Disaster Level: High

You are definitely a PMS disaster!
At least you're only scary a few days of the month.


So this is why you dont go to the doctor when i tell you to! is it true?

We men don't like doctors because here's this guy who thinks he's so smart just because he got good grades in college and went to med school. We like to be the boss of things, and the one thing in life we know we're the boss of is our own body. But then the doctor comes in and now he's the boss.

For a lot of us, this is just too much of a demotion, and we decide that whatever is wrong with us, it isn't worth the loss in status we experience with a doctor visit.

Naturally, he'll get even more stubborn when you tell him to go to the doctor. What, now you want to be the boss of him, too?

Then there is this bit! no wonder! hmmm..

You may not like it, but men process stress a lot differently than women. Mostly, we crawl into our heads or turn on the game rather than talk about it.

You haven't seen him all day, and you probably wish he'd be excited to connect with you, but instead he seems dead. This doesn't have anything to do with you; it has to do with the male brain, which, despite evidence to the contrary, really does exist. Let him burn off the fog within, and when he's ready, he'll be a bit sunnier.

I
really have to learn to be more independent..
At least i was independent...
What happened! Its like ivh been domesticated.. omg omg omg!!



You Are a White Cotton Bra!

Practical, comfortable, and classic
You want your man to feel relaxed and himself with you
Your perfect guy is low maintenance and adaptable
And he makes you feel comfy and cozy too!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was arrogant, acting like the dictator of your life.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.


i just realised the me now is quite different from the me last time


is this good? oh no...

this was interesting!

I had spagetti for dinner today!

the guy piled so much of it on my plate it was flooding!!
then it looked like a mountain!
so now e size of my stomach is like a mountain!

ahhhh!

so much for trying to exercise while @ home!
the only thing i see decreasing is e "twin mountains" (ok molehills.. okok! oranges!)
waaaa....

Today i went for MNO QNA session! think what e marketing lecturer said is true! maybe the lecturers are very quiet reserved people? JUst that they LOVE their topic so when they talk about it they become super animated.
Like you wont do a PHD & become a lecturer unless you really love it right?

Started thinking about e frog in boiling water issue when i was bathing in e super warm bath water today..
There is a saying that a frog in boiling water will not notice the difference in temperature if it is increased gradually. Then when its too late, it will die.
of coz this is scientifically proven to be not true..
anyway the moral of this story is that we must be aware of our surroundings and not become so complacent that we are indifferent to small changes..
then i started wondering about the hot water cold water experiment where you stick one hand into hot then one into cold then both into lukewarm and you feel the difference..
Maybe in the story, humans are the ones who dont notice the difference in water temperature..
Just that they changed the main character to a frog
so that we wont feel insulted..
Hmmm...

You know how everyone is going on about motivational talk about how:

When you believe you can achieve
Together we are strong

And all the anime emphaise on these beautiful values and all that...

Then my lecturer shattered it all today:

These ideals are actually decision traps people might fall into! you should aviod them at all costs!!

decision traps a person might fall into.. they are:

anchoring trap
status quo trap
sunk cost trap - not willing to give up coz you put so much into an investment
framing trap - frame situations favourable to your outlook

I guess these are true.. then it came to the team traps!

group polarization - tendency for teams to make more risky decisions then individuals working alone [ think - anime: we are together! we can make it! you are not alone! ]

deindividaulisation & diffusion of responsibility - [ think - anime : bad guys in groups have no morals : team rocket??]

group think : tendency of choesive groups to value consensous over decision quality. characterised by
overestimation of group : [invulnerability - view group polarisation]
closemindedness [eletism? ]
pressures towards conformity [ i shall kick you out if you dont conform!]
Conditions: choesion, strong leadership, strategic competitions & comeetitive pressure

So much for how romantic shooting stars are when they are actually burning pieces of rubble..

Been watching/reading perfect girl evolution e whole of this "Kimberlyn's day!"

so stressed out by projects recently!

super happy that i have only 1 more project to submit!

^^

happy deepavali everyone!!

I miss my dear... the poor thing had duty in camp today!
miss him! T.T
Love can be the most beautiful sweet and wonderful thing of all

however when the good feelings fade, love can be the most terrible thing
most people turn to hurtful methods in an attempt to make these feelings reappear
it's like a sinful addictive drug
all it will do to you is harm

then, i might wonder, is that really love?

how do i explain to my friends, in order to recieve, you too must give
you too have to love him as if you have never been hurt
then he will love you too

hurt in a relationship never solves anything

all it takes is understanding and a kind heart

i must remind myself of that often


Then again, if you realise that its not the right person,
there's really no point in continuiing
coz you will only be wasting each other's time

i feel so lucky..
ivh got my dear!

I sometimes cant help but wonder if being in university makes people self serving and narcissistic. Perhaps it is one of the unintentional, unwanted side effects of the bell curve. But if not for your own OG and hall ppl, its really hard to get to know people outside of class. And most people who get to know you through faculty are wary and distant, as if if you get too close you can magically steal away their marks and push them to the other end of the bell curve. It can be quite desolate. I miss JC where everyone is super nice n friendly and they make friends with you based on character, not whether your friendship will be beneficial in some way or another to help boost one's grades. I really dislike politics. I know that my friend says tt SMU is worse, but i wonder if NTU has a simpler more pure form of life..

T_T we stayed in his house to watch vcd n play mahjong instead n eat moon cakes! the only happy thing was that i got to eat lotsa mooncakes this year! ^^ But it was fun overall! ^^ His fridge was HUGE! super lots of things to eat! then we were happily raiding his fridge! Got chocs n food from worldwide! even got Ginseng white chocolate??? hmmm... I was joking tt every day after school go his house n raid his fridge bring back to hall! haha! he was happily offering us things to eat claiming that they have been there for along time! suddenly had this nostalgic feeling of last time when cheryl used to come to my house to raid my fridge n have fun... haiz.. sec school days...

Duno why this song "why did you have to go put stars in their eyes. Its the same old story, just that you didnt realise. and its a long way to go from their juggernautted karoke machines, n saturday night's broken dreams" keeps playing in my head.. cant seem to get it out of my head! grragh!

There's just something about staying in school 24 hours, close to 7 days a week that can make an individual lose their mind..

Think ivh been quite down this whole week coz for two consequetive weeks i havent had any reprise from school. Omg 2 saturdays in a row extra lessons, spend time after tt in hall packing, by the time i reach home im so exhausted i sleep sunday away. Havent spent time in the outside world doing fun things and look! I havent even watched tv since god knows when! (ok i just did but so exciting! I just discovered that you can watch tv on laptop only if you are on campus!! ^^ *happy) So today when i finally went out for a while it was like FUN! ^^ even though it was only to holland V, a stone's throw away from campus, (at first i was still super stressed over my hw and how to get back to hall before8pm so that i can go for rehearsals) Then on the bus looking at the NTU alumni complex, i felt this strange sense of liberation. as if heavy chains were being lifted. Then when we reached there, i was like "to hell with responsibilities! im going to have some fun!" so ya! i had fun! hand's birthday party was the most fun i had in a long time! (alth i feel kinda guilty for eating good food without dear.. always got this feeling like if got good and expensive food kind of pointless to eat by myself, rather save money eat cheap things then when i go out with him eat sth nice as a treat or sth.. Hmmm..) The restaurant was sooo nice! we ate at sushi ten. Then Omg when we snuck out to buy cake i was just struck by the vibrancy of the night life.. kinda wanted to run away and escape from it all. the stress of uni life and all that.. but at the same time was thinking "how nice this place is at night... One day should bring dear here to walk.. wonder what would he think.. hmm.." Then when we went into 7-11 to buy lighter for cake it was just like "Omg what have i been missing out on! i miss living life like this!" What was most fun about today was the cake trick i guess.we pretended to buy a small cake then walk in and sing song and all that and forced her to eat it all by herself. then we tease her ask her to make wish and wish tt next year her cake is bigger! then after tt bert bert sneaked out to ("go toilet") to retrieve the real BIG cake and we sung the birthday song all over again!

Oh ya! crystal jade has 40% discount on unsold big cakes after 8.30pm! woohoo!

Happy birthday hand! (ok HuiYi!)

I miss having intellectual conversations with somebody!

Ok maybe not that our conversations are very intellectual, however it is nonetheless very interesting.. Fun too..

It's strange but kinda miss having Eunice crashing on Tuesday-wed. if only our hall wasn't so strict..

Turned to 1 liter of orange juice and double chocolate chip cookies to cheer me up.. Just smelling the orange juice in the cup made me feel better- a bit i guess..

(of coz i miss the guys too and their amazing eating capabilities) I miss knowing like half the school and waving to someone at almost every turn.. I miss Crazy JCS meetings, i miss being able to sleep in lecutre halls and not wake up guity and regretful.. I actually miss my teachers! heck i even miss studying with kenneth! I miss carefree weekends spent with pa and eunice or both and dina and lc n sf n yh and etc out playing pool staying out late not going home and just living life carefreely, devil may care, come what may.. I miss our class outings, night cycling, hotel stays, even our silly alcohol games, I miss PE, i miss indian muslim maggie mee, indian muslim egg prata, wednesday crispy chicken chop, sardine puff and curry puff, strawberry bananna milkshake, LT1's grandeur, our bouncy running track, Seminar rooms, Discussion rooms in the library, round tables for 8 in the canteen, terrible rain storms, telletubby hill, listening to miss nathan's funny but "disturbing" jokes, collecting GP notes, sleeping in CLB class, Jap food outing (other days it would be KFC due to floating zinger burger hallucinations in LT1) with jiaying every friday/wednesday (see schedule), Mdm tan's funny maths lectures, Huizhen n Mf's postcards, sitting next to Hz during lecture and passing silly notes, Sitting with the girls and eating pokey, walking to school and enjoying the morning air (i do not miss having to run to school coz i usually oversleep) i miss sitting at OUR table inthe morning and chit chatting with the ppl @ HZ's table, laughing at wilson coz everything about him is a joke, being amused by sandesh;s funny expression, masthan's "innocent look" wenjie saying :i am cute!" austen's cold jokes, daneil's commando "i can do anything" smile, dexter's money collection, imran's form collection, enam's laugh, joel and his thunder thunder ufo, Leechong's amazing hair, *suddenly got mental block* who did i forget?!?....

In the corporate world everything needs to be supported by black and white not just verbal communication so that there is always documented proof that you were NOT wrong so that no one can fault you.

But what happened to the values of integrity and social responsibility that schools of our childhood drilled into us? what happened to moral upbringing? why is everyone so obsessed with pushing the blame so that they will appear faultless? Is money truely the root of all evil? Why do i find the paper chase so meaningless? am i really cut out for business?

How can i tell the one who reprimands me for not having sent the black and white that it was him that i consulted about what to do and he didnt tell me that i had to send a 'black n white' to justify what i did after the phone call?

Im simply miserable here thats why i dont talk so much anymore..

Friday, May 11, 2007

Yesterday i went blading at my house downstairs for the first time! So many interesting things happened!

Firstly, kinda pathetic la! in the beginning, really CMI. >_< The people walking past walk faster then i skate!

Then got 1 man walk past. Then he was like "die dao!" (fall down in chinese) then i was like "choy" then he "die dao!" then i was like "CHOY!" again. he was climbing up the stairs then disappear.

Alot of ppl walk by see my pathetic attempts at moving smile at me. duno if they were nice or being amused.

After tt this malay guy walk past. i nearly fell. he was like "go go! dont give up!" so nice! I was like "thanks!"

After tt that guy again with his daughter walk past! then he said "wah you still here still trying -(in chinese) i see you going faster improve le! " then i wobbled. "still not very good" said me. Then he encouraged me say "dont look down look ahead can move faster" then i tried n actually can! so quite happy! haha. --Kept looking down coz got some big pieces of mud on e floor scared ill get stuck if i go over or might fall?

After that i getting late i wanted to go home. Then coz directly under my block got furneral. So i climbed a short flight of stairs to the next block. Then so loser la! to the down steps (around 4 steps) got slope. then i dun dare to roll scared i roll down the stairs! crab walked there! then nearly lost balance so i squat down! then this very nice lady came and helped me! (think she's 21+?) She looks like a cross between dina's older sis & Joanne (her bro gf) but super thin! she offered to help me down the stairs. Then me squatting there stare at the number of steps (4) to go down feel so sheepish. But still said yes. Ppl so nice how to not say no? Then she help me down e stairs lo! so nice! ppl in wdl are nice! ^^ Then after tt she walk back say " now i need your help. where's blk 347?" then i raised eyebrow "this is blk 347"

Then the greatest challenge was the slope going up to the lift! absolutely couldnt go up! i made it 1/2 way then roll down! T.T so shibai! then i crabwalk sideways very slowly like 1 inch one step. then hands on knees go up. bent over like got some back pain like some old lady. Then this malay teenager guy coming down the steps was like "are you ok?" then i was very amused coz just realised how comical i must have looked, Couldnt stop laughing. "thanks! but im just having difficulty moving up the slope" said i. then he looked very concerned "really ok?" then i continue laughing saying tt im ok as im getting into e lift.

Luckily never fall down at all!

OMG mother's day is this SUN! what to do?!?

Recently been feeling this strange feeling every moring. Its like a very brief feeling of liberation. Like wow. that kind of feeling. like i wish i had the whole day free to do as i like. suddenly cant wait for my job term to end! so i can get some R & R! but i think tt when it actually comes i might get bored to tears? Hmmm. It's not a new feeling. It's quite old. But havent felt it in a while.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

Just realised that this is my 101th post! omg!

Just had meeting. the CS department that is..

Was asked to contribute to meeting? but didnt know what to say? weekiat asked why i didnt contribute?

Self reflection: most of the things i have problems would be due to petty little things or inadequcies completely due on my part.

so its my fault and theres no feedback to give

period

Guess what? i got into NTU biz. juz recieved their letter yesterday.
I got into my first choice!
But its a mixed bag of emotions?
-_-_-_-_-_-
happy sad happy sad happy sad
Is this what i really want?
i duno..

Amusing things happened yesterday!
I met hiromi for lunch! ^^
Then the customers all sound very funny over the phone! i could barely contain myself before pressing the hold button. then had difficulty regaining sufficient composure so that could continue figuring out what they wanted. but they sounded so funny!

Case 1: bad accent
Can i speak to the person in charge of shitting department?
Me: ????
- turns out it's shipping-

Case 2: Strange name
Hi im Yummy yili may i know who called me?
Me: pls hold on ill check.
- i only got as far as saying the word "yummy" before i dissolved in giggles-

Oh well..

Weekiat was talking to me about his disdain for bloggers earlier. to him its a desperate shout out for attention and sympathy. Esp about those who blog not about general affairs but of matters of the heart - eg : im so sad today ... Thats why he doesnt blog or read blogs?

Well thats what i used to think too? i mean what's the point of having an online diary? it isnt private anymore? you are there advertising the details of your personal life, glamorising it so that you will get hits on your webpage and gain a kind of strange instant-stardom?

But i wana defend all other fellow bloggers out there who blog just coz they love to! like me! coz it's our way of keeping up with our friends, exchanging our views and its like a little shout out to the world. "hey! it's me! i exist! im real! and this is what i think but i dont care what you think of what i think but i just wana say it so that i can get it out of my system and get on with my life. and i put it on the inexhaustable www, so taht next time anytime and anywhere i wana i can 'go back in time' and 'retrieve' one of these memories. like one of those bold statements of self expression, like Jennifer lopez's cd title - THIS IS ME, THEN.
Everytime i do sth wrong, i scold myself : you big ba ba piece of sotong!
Familiar?
=p
How have you been n are you back from china attachment yet?
come back soon!

Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

U know I love u when u loving me
Sometimes it's better when it's publicly
I'm not ashamed I don't care who sees
Just hugging & kissing our love exhibition all

We rendezvous out on the fire escape
I like to set up an alarm today
The love emergency don't make me wait
Just follow I'll lead u
I urgently need you

Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us
Let's get lost in lies
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

I see u closing down the restaurant
Let's sneak and do it when your boss is gone
Everybody's leaving we'll have some fun
Or maybe it's wrong but u turn me on
Ooh, we'll take a visit to your Mama's house
Creep to the bedroom while your Mama's out
Maybe she will hear it when we scream and shout
And we will keep it rocking until she comes knocking

Let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us.
Let's get lost in lies
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't care

If we keep up on this fooling around
We'll be the talk of the town
I'll tell the world I'm in love any time
Let's open up the blinds cause we really don't mind

Ooh I don't care about the priority
Let's break the rules and ignore society
Maybe our neighbor like to spy too
So what if they watch when we do what we do

Oh, let's go to the park
I wanna kiss u underneath the stars
Maybe we'll go too far
We just don't care
We just don't care
We just don't

Let's make love, let's go somewhere they might discover us...

Today's a lunch at my desk! Hmmm.

Still traumatised by yesterday's caterpillar incident! actually should be caterpillers!! gragh! red retractable horns! so creepy! esp since there were 3! omg!!!! (3 caterpillars, 2 horns each that is)

I was trying to detatch it from my plant using a piece of paper when it got a 'paper cut' and started bleeding green juice! omg! then it was wirthing in pain! feel so bad! then i committed another crime coz i threw killer litter down 12 floors - (piece of paper with dying bleeding catterpillar on it) i hope some bird ate it or sth so it wouldnt be so wasted.. -_-

I got really cool birthday presents this year! dad & aunty got me some really pretty chain that i quite sadly wont be wearing unless i wear two chains at once! Guansheng popped up near my work place to give me a teddy bear early! thanks! *touched* i owe you one! my friends got me perfume that ivh wanted since like last year but was too absolutely broke to buy it! its $75 4 25ml bottle! but smells so nice! ^^ Thanks a million! and my cousins got me citadels! anyone up for a game? And my dear got me this really cute keychain n send flowers with a teddybear to my office! shock! i was like answering the door bell "good morning simmons" then the delivery man was like "flowers for kimberlyn" and i was like completely stunned. after i signed and put it on my table i was still staring at it like cant believe its real like that. couldnt help but steal peeks at it every now and then wondering if i blinked hard enough it would disapper?

Ate so much cake that im scared of it. thankfully monday no cake. phew.

Recently no time to blog properly at all! so many things i never blog about! grragh!!

Duno why recently keep getting blamed for errors! then i always make mistakes then paisei dun dare to say anything! but when i get the documents to correct i realise that not i do one leh? so confusing! ~_~

Quite long ago i was walking purposefully through coldstorage in CWP when i got stopped by a very persistant sales woman. before i knew what was happening i had swallowed a few grams of free samples and was holding a purchase of relatively cheap - coz very small pathic amount - but in actuality very expensive chocolate. got 2 pieces for $4+?? omg??? I wanted to share them with dear, but so sotong! left in my bag then forgot to take out! it melted! T.T

Cant really remember much of what else i wanted to blog about so here's sth more recent!

Had one of the best birthdays this year?

not supposed to say much. =X

:p

But happy! haha.

more soon i guess g2g

I cried at work today..

It was over a silly thing like being scolded by a sales consultant for calling her too many times. Not really my fault what.. all the other things i could only get to know that they needed confirmation from them after the previous confirmation..

Maybe coz the previous customer was kinda mean

maybe coz it spoilt my good impression of the name kierra.

which always reminded me of my keikara

^^

Keikara was so cute la!

then thought would be a very good person or sth

then.. haiz

she sounds like perpetual bad day/pms

then duno why i felt so hurt tt i cried..

then wk very nice

make me feel worse..

There's just something very awe inspiring about a brand new notebook still in it's plastic packaging. Its even more awe inspiring when one removes the packaging and flips through its completely blank pages which stares invitingly at you as if just waiting for you to fill them in. It's so.. insprirational! thats why i cant help myself whenever anyone offers me a free notebook. Im not saying that i actually collect notebooks for a hobby or i buy one whenever i see one or that i want one for my birthday or what. actually i dont but whenever anyone offers me a free one like a freebie ill take it. period. and go on to attempt to fill its pages with nonsensical things which only make sense to me but oh whatever i never do fill them up completely being the procastinator i am but ill get there, eventually.

A little stolen moment of time

Spent

Finishing hastily spoken promises

Sending snipets of frozen time

Reminicising

and worrying if my NUS and NTU registration is really complete. do we have to register for tution grant now or later?

I learnt a new word. Hypochondriac. descriptive word.

"Never Be Lonely"

People in love get fast and foolish
People in love get everything wrong
People in love get scared and stupid
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
Never Be Lonely

BBBBaby I think I'm going CCCCrazy
And why should I be sane without you

They tell me to fight it
But they can bloody well just try it
Ill never be the same without you

People in love get special treatment
People in love get everything wrong
People in love their hearts get eaten
People in love get everything wrong

At least they're not lonely
At least they're not lonely
Never Be Lonely

BBBBaby I think I'm going CCCCrazy
And why should I be sane without you

They tell me to fight it
But they can bloody well just try it
Ill never be the same without you

Never Be lonely

I like this song! duno why? Hmmm.. Alth im not lonely im quite not sane without you.. :p
