The past few days have been rather glued to the computer, because I found new websites that could watch every single TV episode (thanks khairiah!) and then I found GLEE.
I swear that was the worse addiction I ever got. Thank goodness there was only 10 episodes so far, if not I would be watching all of them in a day, which I almost did last sunday haha.
But anyway, it was a great show, a getaway from all the HK dramas that I was watching, and was certainly refreshing to me, watching english shows. Great music and dancing, not as cheesy as HSM, and of course some ec haha.
So I was watching Jon and Kate plus 8. Used to love them a lot and I have been watching them since 2 years ago although I did not follow every single episode because I used to watch on TV and it was like showing in 11 in the morning so of course cannot watch during school days. So I went to that website and found all the episodes there ever was. And I watched the last episode. I knew what happened to them through magazines and the entertainment news but I guess not many people reading this would know. It is sad, seeing how much Jon and Kate had gone through and this happened in the end. To be honest, I would definitely criticize Jon to the max and I really have a lot to say. I'm not really sure whose fault was it behind the divorce, but it is really not right for Jon to simply leave his family behind. After all, he has 8 kids and he cannot just say because he got married at 22 and spent the most of the 20's life parenting to make himself look sympathetic. I mean, Kate has sacrificed more than him definitely. But I guess strains in their relationship was definitely unavoidable when you have chaos and so many kids in their household. It is hard not to fight.
"We are a family, we're in this together" It irks me even more when he says that.
16 and pregnant was quite nice too, although half the time I was silently scolding the teen dads for their immaturity. But some some couples were really sweet yet I felt that they all were rather impractical to want to keep their baby considering the plight they were in. Only the last couple chose to give up their baby for adoption and that was the episode that really touched my heart.
Then I watched My sister's keeper, 2012 and Sweet Home Alabama. the first 2 were rather sad and touching, almost cried. And Sweet Home Alabama was romantic. They were all good shows:)
Anyway, the past few days I have been quite regretting that I chose to skip the OGL interview after all, after signing up and stuff, because I chose fencing over OGL. I guess I wanted OGL for the fun and glory. But after thinking now, I guess its ok that I'm not an OGL. So what if I am an OGL.
yup, so this will be my last post for the next 2 weeks because I'm going to Spain! haha! excited to take the plane after 1 year:) Shall update about my trip when I get back. See you!

I swear I'm totally in love with Mr Brown.
I mean, what he write lah of course. It just brings so much fun and laughter when I get the irony that is haha. But seriously, he's quite accurate when it comes to criticising you-know-who haha. And, of course my friends can say that's my favourite topic too haha. I guess I am too brainwashed by my dad, but at least I'm not propoganda-ed by the SS textbooks.
Anyway, I was reading www.mrbrown.com and the articles he writes for inSing.com, and I really like some of them. Here's an extract from an article from from inSing.com regarding the APEC:
With so many heads of state and power people coming to Singapore for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings, the critical question I am sure many Singaporeans are asking is, "Oi! When is the Nicoll Highway jam going to stop ah?"
The Nicoll Highway runs in front of Suntec City, where major APEC meetings are taking place and so it has become a bit of a traffic bottleneck when some lanes are closed at certain times of the day.
To their credit, the government has not closed off roads extensively and unlike the IMF/World Bank meetings the last time, Singaporeans don't feel like we are living in a caged prison trying to produce the required four million smiles.
Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is also attending these APEC meetings, announced that a pair of pandas will be coming to Singapore in 2011, as a symbol of strong ties between Singapore and China.
I wonder what animals China sends as symbols of average ties. A pair of random Chinese cows?
It must be fun to go around giving pandas to friends you like.
"Hey, UK, you and me are BFFs right? Here, have Chia Chia! In fact, take Ching-Ching too!"
Do note that the two Pandas of Peace are only on loan to Singapore for ten years. In other words, the pandas are not going to be citizens but just Permanent Residents. They may go back to China to march in the panda militia contingent of their National Day parade if they freakin' feel like it.
I feel we still have a lot to benefit from these Chinese PR pandas even if they do not plan to stay in Singapore permanently (I hear they plan to open a chain of Panda Express restaurants in America).
If they are Kung Fu Pandas, we can learn the secret ways of the No Shadow Kick. If they are your Garden Variety Pandas, perhaps they can teach OUR national animal, the Merlion, how to be cute and not throw up so much.
I am not sure what will happen if these Pandas of Diplomacy give birth while in Singapore. Will their offspring have to serve National Service? Or only their offspring's offspring?
I am not sure how it works but I am sure these Chinese PR Pandas will not be asked to do the combat stuff, being on the obese side. Maybe storeman or clerk.

the past few days have been pretty busy.
The woman at Camy, the printing company that we are printing our packaging paper for GEW, was pretty anal and unfriendly. Almost died talking to her because she refused to answer my questions. Haha. But anw not that I care, as long as she delivers my papers by friday haha:)
Then, finally had a day where I could stay at home the whole day. But, sadly the stomache flu virus has to attack me then. So I spent the whole day sleeping and aching in bed haha:)
Oh yea, PW is finally ending. Want it to end soon, yet I know, once it ends, I wouldn't have a chance nor opportunity again. Feels kind of happy yet sad. I guess I have a love-hate relationship with it because it allows me to do something that I want to do, yet sometimes it scares me a lot.

After reading K's and E's blogs, realised they were pretty much talking the truth.
Yes, 09s43, what happened to the craziness?
I guess I'm part of the people who were crazy before and then got serious now.
Dunnoe why, maybe its the lack of time and more things on my mind.
Dunnoe why, but I just can't get the high me back. I tried, but it all just ended too soon.
I'm no longer that talkative. and I don't think its a good thing.
I thought it was good that the matchmakings were gone. But I didn't expect the laughter and craziness to go along with it.

This post is going to get quite sensitive to religion so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. No offence to any religion, but I really have to get it off.
Grandma's going to get baptised this coming saturday.
And the question is: whether I should go?
She and my aunt have been asking me to go.
My sis is going, daddy refused to go, and mommy has something on.
So that leaves me.
On one side, I should go because I should give her support, after all she's my grandma.
But, I have my own principles.
I'm not against Christianity or against her being baptised, its just that I feel that she's not becoming one because she really believes in it or has faith in God.
She's a buddhist for her entire life and have been quite against it all the while. Maybe her illnesses really got better after she went to church, I'm not sure.
I just feel that she just keeps going because she has companions there, which should not be the real reason why she chooses to become a christian.
Maybe she feels better there.
Or that it might be she is just there because it heals her.
This is not what religion should be about. Adopting this religion should not be because of the benefits it gives you. Anyone can choose what religion you want to be, but you have to really have faith in it before you commit yourself to it.
I guess that's why I choose not to be such a religious person. I'm not against religion, its just that I don't follow too closely to it. It may or may not be a good thing. But I just do not want to commit to something blindly.
