heya:).

latest song i've fallen in love with:

甜甜的 - 周傑倫

作词:方文山作曲:周杰伦

我轻轻的尝一口你说的爱我
还在回味你给过的温柔
我轻轻的尝一口这香浓的诱惑
我喜欢的样子你都有

你爱过头竟然答应我
要给我蜂蜜口味的生活
加一颗奶球我搅拌害羞
将甜度调高后再牵手

你的爱太多想随身带走
想你的时候就吃上一口
我温热着被呵护的感受
却又担心降温了要求

我尝着你话里面的奶油溜啊溜
听过的每句话都很可口呦啊呦
那些多余的画面全被跳过
你的眼中只有我

我轻轻的尝一口
你说的爱我
还在回味你给过的温柔

我轻轻的尝一口
这香浓的诱惑
我喜欢的样子你都有

我轻轻的尝一口
你说的爱我
舍不得吃会微笑的糖果

我轻轻的尝一口
份量虽然不多
却将你的爱完全吸收

我微笑着让香味停留
缘份走到这也赖着不走
像夹心饼干中间有甜头
继续下去不需要理由

discovered this song on sunday, when i went teoheng with ky and xt. this song isn't exactly new, it's from the cowboy album. anyway, as i watched the MV, along with the lyrics and jay's sweet voice (that's usually so not the adjective to describe his voice=X), the whole song was overflowing with a million sachets of sugar. but not so much to the extent of disgustingness. lol. okay. i'm not into fairytales nor am i a closet romantic, but HEY, this song is kind of cute. hahah.

SO many things have happened over the week, and i haven't been blogging simply becos the lazy bug has squirmed its way into yc's stomach again. i can't give a reasonable explanation, but i've been fanatically baking these days. i think it all started with ly flying off to amsterdam. haha.

on a sidenote, i think amsterdam is such a beautiful place. ly is staying in an apartment by the canal. omg. in my ulu-ated brain, canals = drains. but the canal was GORGEOUS. the long stretch of canal, the ultra clear waters, the carefree ducks and geese swimming in it. woww. i want my flat to look over a canal as prettaye as that canal as welll. blehh.

ly sent me this: her apartment and the canal


wwwwah.

i feel even more determined to go for exchange. errrr. can i sign up for a varsity in amsterdam to study chinese? lol.

pigger! much as i miss you, much as you may feel super overwhelmed by the urgent need to independent, the foreign-ness of it all and the beautiful sights around you, ENJOY your exchange :DD. looking forward to seeing more photos on your bloggie :).

where was i? ohh. talking about baking, i tried out those 2 recipes i said i wanted to try~ muhaha! first it was the maltesers muffins (thereby my dearest oven KO-ed in the middle of my 2nd batch), then it was cream (custard) puffs which i baked with eve. also tried a brownies recipe and MY. i love the brownies best (so much that i baked them twice. 2nd time for my siblings). for more info, you can click on my food blog under my links *points right* and click on "Baking" under the list of labels.


muffins, brownies, cream puffs.

i can't stop sneezing. and it's in the middle of the day, with the sun showering its bright rays through my window. 誰！！是誰？是誰在想我/咒我！

repeat after me: School has started. tutorials will start next week and with after being dealt with the full impact of school, hopefully i will start working harder :). lecturers are alright so far. but they do like to recycle their old jokes huh? just like how my phonetics lecturer last sem reused his old jokes from cl1101e, su also recycled his old joke from ch1101e to ch3221. he also recycled his lecture notes, using the same ones for ch1101e, ch3221 and ch4XXX (can't rmb) modules. 節儉是种美德。。

N U S should really move to the east soon.



and don't you think this is an interesting picture?
who is the person without common sense?

maybe it is this particular person who...
scratches plates.

someone seriously weird.

i'm feeling random.

got back to school again today~ started the day with mr su and i think the lesson went off pretty welll. a 3h seminar is quite a long stretch and got pretty restless at the end. xu laoshi was right. mr su is so much better off teaching in smaller classes. he tried to crack humorous jokes although i didn't manage to catch some (not that intellectual... ), but at least they weren't the weird ones he did in ch 1101e, when he tried to explain about 牛郎織女's love story.

and the best part was i went to vivo for lunch at modesto's! yaaayy. thnks pohpoh, for sharing the 30% discount voucher:). hoho. HOHO.

i should be sleeping. for some reason, i'm vv tired.

-

anyway, i saw this from hj's blog! wowww. click HERE.
makes me pause and think. ycc. what have you been doing with your life all these years?

nevertheless. congrats to mr yung=).

and olympics is here!! along with school. which means i'll miss some important sporting events):. i love watching gymnastics. but most of the time, the judges see things we can't see.. .. and it was quite sad watching indonesia's hid ayat get knocked out during the round of 32 tdy. he was last olympics badminton champion! 歲月不饒人。

told you i felt random.

pigger. i swear i will get the mobile on wireless by the time you get back from holland.

hmmm.

had sixteen English sentences to translate into 漢語 and i managed to do some. some had weird technical terms which i have no wish to go googling for yet.

just advised my vvnice or innocent or pure friend to be selfish. oh i won't sell you out=p, unless you choose to tag on my tagboard innocently lol. as i grew older, i started tweaking the meaning of selfish, and i started to view things with a more emotionally detached mindset. i'm still the emotional kind, and the ever blind optimist. perhaps the optimist thing is more of a facade i'm hiding behind. or maybe like the selfishness, the optimist scale varies in from situation to situation. for example, towards some people, the optimistic vibes never die. you just keep on believing in them, keeping a tight hold on the enormous amount of faith you have on these people, based on the emotional relationships you share with them. whether or not the feelings are reciprocated, although these vibes remain for a longer time when they are reciprocated, and when support always flows in a two-way direction. towards some other people, the initial optimism used to burn brightly, but as you become older and wiser, and more sensitive (though it might be hypersensitive on your part) to the inconsistency of emotional exchange, the optimism flow will start to ebb, and either completely erode away or be reduced to the average. and to the rest of people, the optimism level is kept at bare minimal. close to zero expectations may reap higher unexpected returns.

okay i was originally talking about selfishness but i digressed.

anyway, yes, i advised the friend to be selfish cos a certain amount of selfishness benefits ourselves in the long run. i'm not advertising selfishness. or rather, imo, i'm stating facts. although it may be due to human's selfish nature that mankind created the environmental disasters with melting icebergs and rising sea levels, i don't think man will stop being selfish.
i thought i was starting to talk gibberish.

heya.

things are looking rather optimistic for bidding:).

as usual, don't particularly look forward to the start of school (next monday! or is it tuesday? i keep receiving different sorts of information from pple._. whatever it is, it's starting real soon). on the other hand, i'm starting to feel my insides rotting away during this lazy july (plus a few days of august). and my brain is getting malnourished, so it's deteriorating by the minute. every minute i spend in front of my lappie screen, tv screen, the brain burns some productive cells, the myopia worsens. aww. in a way, school will get my brains moving again, albeit unwillingly. okay, at least i started reading newspapers again. HA. so that i can stop being an ulu frog, sitting contentedly in my well, without a clue.

oops, i spoke a little too fast with the bidding. hmmm. still too early to start panicking since it closes tmr. thought i would stop fretting about the irritating CORS since my chinese modules are very stable. conveniently forgot all about the other miscellaneous modules we study.

start the new semester with a positive outlook. i will have only 3 exams, which are spaced out quite nicely. the modules i'm taking are either compulsory (which i cannot escape from) or interesting. they may kill me along the way but whatever doesn't kill me will make me stronger. ha. ha. ha. mirthless laughter. i'm working towards that. growing from strength to strength with each day.

hmmm. apparently all the drama-mama didn't work too well. haha. received a very polite and business-like email reply from CLS. but at least they replied promptly. they can't do anything much since bidding is still ongoing.

wow. i see homework for CL2280 (translation) already. yc is getting herself all hot and bothered before school starts.

i shall go attempt the homework now. keep that smile on your face, yc.

We discover new things about ourselves everyday.

In the face of dangerous 6-8PM lessons (although I bidded for them), yc discovers her 1000 mega watted whiny side, nitpicking side, complaining side, emo side.

okies.

let's pray that the email to CLS will reap some positive results:D.

if not it will be damn cui as yc spent quite some time composing the email, while sacrificing time to seek other modules/ print tuition papers/ prepare tuition worksheets/ update the huge backlog of her foodblog.
