merry christmas!

*its beginning to feel alot like christmas...*

but nope, this song does not exactly describe christmas this year.
but still christmas is here!
the tree is up, and the christmas decos are in front of the tv.
AND, there are last minute presents under the tree (y).
haha.

went out to walk around with mum and trina.
and for one:
there was an upside down christmas tree at tampines1. i get the chinese and western fusion thingy, but upside down gingerbread men are weird too. and the ornaments had an eye (singular).

and i ate auntie annes. =)

then went to eat yong tau foo for christmas eve dinner.
and icc was close!! :p
hung around ken's hse for awhile,
then went to timbre mobile @ ecp with bert and shu.
the guys were mesmerised by the lady singer,
and we ate roast duck pizza for christmas.
haha.
the loud music was nice enough to cover me and berts loud chesty coughs. :p

what a strange christmas this time.
no christmas shows like sound of music or love actually.
hahaha. ok.
maybe we're watching that at fels hse on sat.

in which... i have trng in the morning.
hope im not coughing still. :p

and this is my 1234th post. cool huh.
i just noticed it.
maybe like.. 3+/4 years of blogging if we assume that i blog every day.
haha.

i have a sling now!
yay. =)

yay an A

oh noo a C+. AGAIN!
(seriously, maybe i shd stop taking cores that gives me a C+)

alright. caps up again. good job jud!
at this rate, its a 4.0 by year 3 (y)
haha.
dream dream dream.

yes it is.

and it is never ending.
its supply never runs short,
every 2 mins must go toilet to deposit it into the sink.
blow until my nose wanna drop out.



and i sprained my toe.

the end.

a song i heard when i was in malaysia!
catchy! =)

had the 0506 outing at orchard yesterday.
nicky wanted to bring us to bar stop,
but we decided otherwise. haha.
maybe coz i was wearing quite chui clothes. :p

anyways, we had our dinner at orchard central.
popped by via ferrata to see jups!
ate at quiznos.. the subway-like place. =)
then we hung around the roof top garden before gg to selegie for some supper!
haha.

us at tully's coffee, eating the subs.


at selegie!!


fooling around with the plates. haha


ken and shu definitely like mirror seats. haha. can sit and look at self eating.
daryl of course, was deterred by some strange weird looking guys sitting opposite him eating.


the girls!! all present!

heres some update and photos from this year end's trip.
abit sad that i din get to go chiangmai and multi-pitch with the rest. :p
till next vacation!! haha.
looking at all the photos on facebook really makes me miss the guys.
aww..
this time i really wanna make full use of my may-aug break to go everywhere!!
haha. sadly my dream fund is low in funds at the moment. :p

alright, KL trip:


as usual, we camp5 for 3 days in a row.
ate good food. (y)
really an eat, sleep, climb trip. haha.
except for the fact that i was feeling pretty sick.
throats abit funny. :p
and when i came back to sg, BAM!!
fever and running nose and all those sick stuff. :p
not a good way to enjoy a holiday really..

these are the fellow travelling peeps in KL with me. plus jenny and edwin.


as u can see from vincent's photo albums on facebook,
jenny has once again, lost his underwear during our only ever laundry servicing. :p
tough luck.
we had bites too. bedbugs or not, we're all unsure due to the variety of bites. haha.

before that was my sports exchange to shah alam, where UiTM was.
din managed to play much friendly games though.
tad bit disappointed.
our games always get cut into half.
only managed to play full 4 quarters when we played the mens netball club at bukit jalil. (y)
that was cool.

meanwhile, the days at shah alam was hot, and sunny and really dry. :p
no trees for shelter and we were all quite burnt.



this is thereabouts the whole team! except lydia, carmen, kim and rach leong.
haha. but i like this photo! (y)



never been to a sports exchange before.
this was pretty cool afterall.
just that too much free time due to lack of friendly games. :p

watched princess and the frog!

like this song. =)

im currently sitting in the lobby of Anjung guesthouse in KL right now!!
haha.
just nicked my elbow wound and its oozing blood and gross pus once again.
over the pass few days, the swimming and stuff hasnt exactly allowed it to heal properly.
pfft. :p

anyways, waiting for the guys to arrive from singapore.
they'll reach around 6am for now.
so im staying in the dorm with the 4/5 other random people.
haha. exciting.

the days been a waste of time somehow...
morning was spent at sunway pyramid shopping and walking around.
ate A&W!! ;) and had baskin robbins.
then back to UiTM for some closing ceremony...
then by the time we reach KL central was like.. 8+pm.
yea.
my poor netballers must be slacking in starbucks now waiting for the bus to come at 12mn to pick them up to go back to shah alam.
me, im just here typing in the guesthse, wishing my wound would heal faster.
(this one was from the time i went to yishun to high-wall. :p)

anyways, trips been fun still.
had mini friendlies which din exactly last very long. :p
hm.... hot sun. :p
foods not that great catered... but we had good seafood at some restaurant behind the SACC mall in shah alam. (y)

study again

suddenly itunes plays olivia olsens "All i want for christmas is you" from Love Actually.
and i cant wait till christmas!!



p.s. caught zx on skype today, long time since i heard her laughter! haha.

ambiguous or not? that is the question.

– The defendant examined by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.
– The evidence examined by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.

first sentence should be more ambiguous, taking meaning into account.
but during initial syntactic parsing, or not?

i.e.
– (The defendant examined) by the lawyer turned out to be unreliable.
vs.
– The evidence (examined by the lawyer) turned out to be unreliable.



and try answering these questions!!
haha.

By flying a kite, what did Edison discover?
(it was ben franklin who flew the kite!!)
What is the name of the cartoonist who created Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pinocchio?
(Ub Iwerks)
In the biblical story, what was Joshua swallowed by?
(Jonah!!)
What did Dasher’s nose do to help guide Santa’s sleigh?
(Ruldoff!!)

ok. back to chapter 11. :p

will you let me romanticize, the beauty in our london skies,
you know the sunlight always shines, behind the clouds of london skies.
patient moments you chill to the bone under infinite greys,
vision hindered mist settling low like a ghostly ballet, on a cold london day.
nothing is certain except everything you know can change

did a personality thingy today for PID tutorial.

link here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index_5.shtml?personality_type=mastermind

anyways, its super cool.
its what i think of myself sometimes. haha.
reg has hers similar to what she thinks of herself too.
so i guess sometimes these test really gives us a gauge one what we might be like.

some stuff from the web itself:
(in which my personality type is Mastermind.)

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Visionaries who put energy into achieving their goals
Prefer to work independently and dislike inefficiency
Think of themselves as logical, thorough, and bright
Values practicality and common sense above ideas and theories (y)

haha. interesting.
