Pragmatist You hate to reinvent the wheel. If someone else has already done it - then why not re-purpose their work for your own use? No point in doing the same thing over and over, especially when you're SO busy!
You are the driver in most relationships, taking the wheel and steering everyone in the most direct path to success. You often get annoyed with people's foibles and don't understand why some take so long to make a decision. Why, the correct choice is obvious - isn't it?
Your sexual relationships often go the same way. You pursue what you want, organize it and make it happen. Not a hearts and flowers person, you just want to get down to "it".
Often successful and popular, you always have friends around you. But, too frequently they want you to organize and take charge of everything - because you're just so darn good at it, of course. Be careful you don't spend so much time organizing the party that you miss the fun!

This is rather true! Ok, perhaps the sexual relationship and successful and popular part isn't that true.. But the rest, yes! Sigh. I am indeed a pragmatist.

AirAsia is currently having this awesome free seats promotion! Many seats are going for 0.00SGD, exclusive of airport taxes and misc. charges. The only thing about this promotion is that the departure period is from May 2010 to October 2010. My Dad and I have decided to make full use of this fantastic sale and we so are now going to Yogyakarta (also known as Jogja), Indonesia in May 2010. I love my Dad for being so game and spontaneous enough to join me for this trip! :)
Yes, it's May 2010. I have air tickets for a trip that's 6 months' away! I need to constantly keep this in mind, if not I might just forget about it. Hahaha.
Yogyakarta here I come!
PS: SGD132 for two, 2-way after all the miscellaneous charges (airport tax, admin charge, luggage fees, upsizing luggage allowance fee). SGD 66 per pax!

I will be spending Christmas abroad for the second consecutive year. This means I'll be missing the annual 4G Christmas party, AGAIN. I've already missed one in 2006 and 2008. I will be missing the 2009 one, I guess. My Dad, under much cajoling from his sister, decided to go to Penang and Ipoh, Malaysia together with the RC. The trip is from 24-27 December. I'm pretty sure I'll miss the party again... What a disappointment.
Oh well, at least I've never traveled to Penang and Ipoh before! |

Cassius turned 3 yesterday! My Dad invited some of our relatives over in the morning for a short prayer and lunch session after which we celebrated Cassius' birthday. The one thing I wish of him is that he'll stop being such a monster already. It's cute at first, but after a while, it starts to get really annoying.
 The star of the day ( MONSTER! )In the evening, my dad and I attended a wedding dinner at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. Thank goodness I was seated with my cousins, if not I'd be really really bored! The food served was delicious, I must say. Love attending wedding dinners for the good food!

So yes, after being my dad's personal valet for nearly a month, I'm finally promoted to his weekend chauffeur, meaning I get to drive him around on weekends!
Today during dinner time, my dad asked me if I wanted to go for a spin around the neighbourhood before going down to orchard to look at the christmas lights. I ended up driving us to orchard road and back home, when I was only supposed to drive around the neighbourhood. Hahaha. It feels so good to be able to overtake other people!
I am so happy my Dad finally decided to let me drive his car, and not bother about the insurance issue. It goes to show that he has faith in my skills! :D |

I have a cousin named Alvin and we don't really have a close relationship, like I don't have his mobile number, his MSN. I probably see him less than 10 times a year. Despite this lack of contact, we don't have problems starting conversations with each other in family functions. I guess this applies to all of my paternal cousins. That's why I enjoy family functions that involves my father's family.. :)
Anyway, back to the story. Today, he added me on Facebook and I got a surprise of my life. Why? Because he's not supposed to know my email address. After adding me on Facebook, he sent me a message and I quote his message "i hope u know who i am :)". THIS MADE ME LAUGH! I totally cannot imagine him saying that in real life. That's because he's a very sarcastic person, yet in his message he sounded so earnest? LOL.
Out of curiosity, I decided to write something on his wall. And this is the 'conversation' that ensued between us on Facebook:
Me: I wonder how you found my facebook profile, I wonder
Alvin: Well.....i got your email through 1 of Uncle Ricky's email.......and thats it :) and after you added me, i am able to sniff out all of the rest through your fds contact :D
Me: i'm impressed. lol.
Alvin: hahahaha....i not that old hor...we are the same generation....i know how to fb 1 loh...LOL
That really really really made me laugh.
- Yes, both him and I belong to the same generation, since we're cousins.
- BUT, we have this amazingly huge age gap. If I'm not wrong he should be in his early 30s this year. 30? 31? 32? That makes it around 10-12 years of age gap.
- I like how he acts "young" by claiming that he knows how use Facebook. Lol.
CONCLUSION: I LOVE MY COUSINS! They're so amusing!!!!!!!

 Meet Jacky, my new mobile phone. It's a black Nokia E63. Meet Pokka Green Tea, my life saver. It keeps me awake at the most crucial times. I won't explain why my phone is named Jacky... I'm too lazy to do it here. I need to go back to my books. I have a presentation tomorrow and I'm not even prepared for it. |

First of all, congrats to Choonyen for passing her TP! Both of us can now form a driving club and be the pioneers! Hahahaha.
Secondly, my Dad is back from China! I was surprised that he came back today, because all along I thought he was only coming back tomorrow. I missed him. Awesome thing is, my Dad bought me this nice "Prada" tote bag from China! Note the inverted commas, because it's obviously a fake Prada. It's simple and roomy, something I like! I'm so glad my Dad knows what kind of stuff I like. Hehehe.
Thirdly, I managed to get a one week deadline extension for my South Asian studies essay! Yay!
Ok, time for me to finish up studying for SN test. I am really really really unprepared for it. Watch me failzzzzz. :( |

This is probably the busiest time of the year. I have two essays due in less than 2 weeks' time and one test next Friday. I guess it all boils down to my ability to manage my time... *sigh*
Tomorrow during my free periods, I shall head to the library to look for a couple of books for my History essay. At night, I shall attempt to prepare for my SS tutorial on Friday and read up for my History essay. On Friday night, I shall start on a draft for my essay after compiling my notes. On Saturday, I will try to complete my History essay. On Sunday, I shall compile my SN notes and start preparing for the test. I will also start my research for my SN essay. Need to look for relevant books via LINC+.
On Monday, I shall head down to the library and borrow books for my SN essay. Once home, I will read/think about my argument and vet through my History essay. Tuesday, I will probably read more and start writing my draft. I shall devote my Wednesday and Thursday to preparing for my SN test. Friday-Monday will be for me to complete my SN essay.
Sounds like a good plan. Now I must make sure I stick to it. So far, so good. I have already compiled a list of books I intend to get from the library tomorrow.
History Essay due 20 Oct
South Asian Test on 23rd Oct
South Asian Essay due 27th Oct
 A picture of me to scare all of you! This is how I will be like by the end of next week.

Presenting to you the new additions to my Spongebob collection:
Courtesy of Uncle Martin and Aunt Katherine! They got this for me from Hungry Jack's! Awesome much? Too bad I don't have Spongebob. Aunt Katherine gave Spongebob to my baby niece Yvette. I heard that Uncle Martin got a little pissed about it, because he insisted the whole set was meant for me. LOL. But oh well, I'm okay with it. Can't wait to visit them in Australia next year! :)

I joined two F21 spees and ordered 2 identical items. Now one of them is already in Singapore, and the other is being shipped to Vpost. WHAT TO DO?? :( I can't believe I forgot that I ordered that item already. Sianttm.
Maybe I should sell it off on sgselltrade, then again, it seems like no one buys anything from SGST anymore.
Ok, no more mucking around. Time to get started on those darned e-lectures and my history tutorial. |

Bad news: I didn't get selected for Worldmun @ Taipei, or Asian International MUN @ Beijing.
Good news: I am selected for the Asia Pacific MUN @ Sydney (11-16 July 2010)!
However, I'm given an alternative of the Georgetown MUN at Qatar (Jan 2010) if I don't want to attend the MUN at Sydney. Should I go for the sydney one? I have a feeling the Sydney one will be a blast, but Qatar is such an exotic place! I mean, it's not a city I see myself visiting in the near future! Hmmmm...
Alright, I think I'll stick to Sydney because the debate topics in Qatar don't appeal to me and it's held during school term. The Sydney MUN is held during my summer break meaning I can extend my stay (and visit my relatives in Brisbane and travel for a bit) without having to worry about missing school!!! :D
PS: Beiru this means I can visit you in Canberra or you can visit me in Sydney! |
