I'm finally home!

Our horror movie marathon sleepover was a great success!

Shiyan, Sieyen, Fan Di and I met for lunch at Sakae Sushi. We wanted to go for the $16 buffet but we got the time wrong so we ended up eating ala-carte. Turned out we didn't eat that much too and the bill turned out to be $14+ each. I'm still looking forward to Suki Sushi buffet!

Simin met us at Sakae Sushi and we left for ADM to borrow movies. Sadly, ADM didn't have the horror movies we wanted, nor can we borrow any movies out of ADM, so we could only rely on online download.

1) The Exorcist - This turned out quite funny. The sound for the videos wasn't working well, so we took turns listening on the earphones and did our own 配音. It was quite difficult to follow the accented lines, so imagine how cui our 配音 was.
2) Legion: The Exorcist III - This one sux. We gave up on it after awhile. The accent was too string for us to understand, and the "exorcism" was too 牵强.
3) The Shutter - A little gory, but nice overall. Not that scary, cuz the male lead 活该. It was fun scolding him while watching.
4) The Eye 10 - Damn funny. Lousy movie. Don't understand it. Not coherent.
5) The Exorcist: The Beginning - Nice one. Explains part of the mystery in The Exorcist. A little gory. But the exorcism scene was cool.

I should stick to painting nails for other people and not my own. I do quite a good job [haha] when I paint for others, but when I paint my own I'm a total failure. =(

After my last paper yesterday, I met Shiyan and Jing Ting at SCI to collect our WKWSCI shirt. Then we went to IMM! =D We were supposed to go shopping but we ended up going Daiso, Mini Toons, Popular etc, and Esprit, Giordano, Fox, Dano etc. I spent $23 on dinner! Haha that's about how much I spent in a week during exam period. But the food at Ajisen was nice. It's actually my first time at Ajisen anyway. I want to try the Volcano Ramen someday. The Scallop Ramen reminded me of the Suki Sushi buffet! I can't believe I actually ate the onions in my Chicken Katsu Toji Set. Macha Sundae Anmitsu was nice too.

I saw this purple shirt in Fox which is really nice. Sadly the largest size there is was Size 1, which is equivalent to Small. It was a miracle that I could actually fit in, but of cuz it didn't fit well. It made my waist look narrower than I actually am, but it made my hips look even wider. Crap. Why isn't there Size 2 or Size 3? Anyway I don't think I would have bought it anyway. The price exceeds my usual price range. Kia Hui's Shopping Principle (1): With the exception of working clothes, anything above $20 is not to be seriously considered. Other than my Huang Cheng jacket and Xuan Chuan pullover, I think my jacket from Taiwan costs more than $20; it was $25, if I am not mistaken. Even my jeans costs less than $20! Which gives a hint about the quality. Thanks to whoever produced jeans with sizes suitable for people like me, but please use better stretchable material, will you?! My jeans are getting less and less stretchable, more and more loose with time. Irritating. I want to invest on a pair of better jeans, but honestly, I cannot find my size in shops like Hang Ten, Giordano, and I think Levi's probably won't have either. Designers, can you please spare a thought for people of my size?! We need to wear jeans too! =(

I'm going home tomorrow! I want to cook ramen! I want to make siew mai! Winter Solstice is coming! I want to make tang yuan! I want to make dark chocolate tang yuan and kachiau people again!

I want to go Junction 8, Bugis Junction, Orchard...

Walking from Canteen 2 back to Hall 13 takes about half an hour.
Shiyan and I had dinner at Canteen 2 after our papers at SRC and we were there until about 9pm.
Then we realized that the shuttle bus service has terminated.
So we had to walk back to Hall 13.
Dark and eerie, haha.
Half an hour leh!
Tired -.-

I'm counting down to the end of my exams: 13 more hours!
I'm counting down to our horror movie marathon: 36 more hours!
ADM > Canteen 2 Nanyang Supermarket > Canteen A Sakae Sushi > Hall 13 Horror Movie Marathon!!!

Michelle suggested that I get a spiky hairstyle together with purple colouring.
I need mentoring for spiking.
But then, walao, 我越来越娘了啦, the hairstyle will match not?

人生中第一次大学考试使我元气大伤。
其实也不仅是因为第一个COM201试卷。
COM203的报告也使我大受打击。
从来没有给予自己太大的肯定，直到我到报馆实习并得到奖学金，才觉得自己还有那么一点点用。
想一想，或许只是因为太少人申请，否则我也该凶多吉少。
可是经过一个大学学期，我因为一个B+再次感到被否定。
Severely demoralized.
我到底为什么会过报馆那一关，我不知道。
我到底哪里适合？
我到底适不适合？
现在已经没有退路，我只能向前看。
刚考完COM201，无论结果如何，that's it.
一切都没办法重来。
我没信心。
因此特别害怕。
上一次信心受挫的影响，至今仍残留着。
再多一次，我应该会受不了。
我好想回去报馆工作。
至少在那里，没有人会为我打分数［or at least not made known to me］，只有人在我犯错时教导，时不时给予我鼓励。
我要做工，不要念书...=(
害怕明天的COM203和HC461...
觉得自己还是和以前一样，一无是处...

才休息了5個月，我怎麼就變成了個菜鳥記者咧！
遜！遜！遜！
基本常識都沒有！
以前都太依賴主任安排工作，協調能力實在有待加強。
雖然看到了偶像，可是這份工作整體上還是個失敗。
集體採訪後浪費了整整一個半小時，還是沒得單獨進行採訪。
記者本該不浪費時間，但記者也不可以輕易放棄！
今天可真是將畢生死纏爛打的本事發揮的淋漓盡致，苦守一個半小時，只是仍然沒成功。
希望公關沒被我嚇到。
必不得已，只好通過公關，把問題電郵給他們。
只希望得到的答案不會太“公關”。
失敗！失敗！失敗！
以後的工作一定要做得徹徹底底，滴水不漏！
加油！加油！加油！

希望一切順順利利...

Actually I still have that ambition now.

That's a little hard to achieve though...
Hopefully someday I'll meet with such an opportunity. =)

I shall try not to sleep with wet hair from now on.
No, it's not because you will get 头风.
It's because wet hair tends to get misshapen when you sleep on it.
Blowing dry does help with hair quality.
Tell that to your mother: not 头风.
Or rather, my mother.

Anyway why am I still awake?
I was trying to finish studying COM203 today so that I can start on COM201 and HC461 ASAP!
I'm almost done with the China research, but I'm pretty much still clueless about the topic on media profession.
I went through all my notes too, but I'm not sure how much went in.
I'm definitely a lot more receptive late at night but before midnight than I am in the daytime.
Last part I did on Business of Journalism floated somewhere else but in my brain, I think.
Better go sleep now in case I wake up a zombie tomorrow.

I'm starting to realize how hard it is to get through the next 7 semesters.
I think I will miss university life [excluding the study part] when it's over, but for now, I cannot wait to get back to work.
University life seems to have passed rather quickly though.
After this semester, university life will be 1/8 over.
But as the first final exam of my university life approaches, I'm starting to feel hints of unknown helplessness.
I was thinking about how much better it will be after I have my Korean oral test and Math test tomorrow, and I realize
It won't be any better.
Because those tests are peanuts compared to what is to come.
The hard core papers next next week are the ones which can claim my life and put me to hell.
For the past stages of education, we had a preparation period ranging from 2 years to 6 years for the final battle.
Now, we have to deal with a battle every half a year.
Hopefully I get used to this cycle after this first round.
Round 1: Who will get the point?
I hope it's me.
张芸京 on Youtube has been accompanying me for this week as I try to mug.
I am totally mesmerized by how suave and charismatic she is.
Haha if I am lesbian, I'll like her.
I'm not.
And I still like her.
Haha.
Anyway, I hope I'll pull through the days until 25 November with 张芸京 and 黄美珍 [yes, I still love her lots] on Youtube.
Speaking of 张芸京, I hope she will release an album within the next year and a half.
Hopefully within my term as Nanyuan editor, so that I get to interview her.
I think she will be pretty interesting to write about.
If I manage to go on exchange in Taiwan, I hope that will be the exact period she releases her album so that I can go for her autograph session!
Haha, how wonderfully perfect!
Another reason for me to work hard!
I must go NCCU for exchange!!!
I am going crazy...
OMG Korean is damn freaking hard!
Writing is fine, but speaking is a killer.
I'm really the kind who write better than speak.

我做了一個夢。

時間拉回我高中時期我與樂團參加母校松商的紅沙崗歌唱大賽的開場表演...
現場有3000人，是我這輩子第一次站在舞台上。

舞台上一片漆黑，沒有一絲光線，我雙手握著我的麥克風架，
等待著暗紅色的幕揭開，
這時候我聽見的不是騷動的歡呼聲，
不是觀眾的喧囂吶喊，
而是我鐵生生的心跳聲.....＂撲通＂＂撲通＂.....

結果，有一天美夢真的要成真了。自從我站上超偶的舞台開始。

其實，我真的好愛站在舞台上表演，
我真的好愛音樂，即使我很沒有自信的用自己的方式愛著，
假如有一天我會死亡，我想要在舞台上唱到斷氣，那時候我的嘴角一定是微笑的...

超級偶像，美夢成真演唱會。
直到現在我仍不敢相信，是我，可以站在那個舞台上，是的，真的成真了!

2008年8月15日
《超级偶像》张芸京

如果有机会亲眼欣赏张芸京的演出，我一定会爱上她［除非她严重走音］。
她的歌唱技巧不是特别好，现场演唱时音准也不完美。
但是，她就是兼具可爱与帅气，也对自己的表演有很多想法和创意。
站在舞台上的京爷，只有一个字形容：帅。

哎呦喂呦，糟糕咯！
我的记忆力正在急速衰退！
昨天傍晚要去吃晚餐时，赫然发现钱包不见了！
把整个包包都翻过来了也找不到！
已经到了绝望的地步，快担心死了，走出房门时突然想起：
买午餐的时候，我把钱包放在外套的口袋里...
今天下午tutorial的时候，我发现铅笔盒不在包包里！
回头想想，应该不会落在lecture地点吧！
转头问诗雁的同时，我发现了：
铅笔盒就在我的腿上，颜色和我的外套几乎一模一样...
但那不是重点！
重点是，东西明明拿出来了，找什么找啊！
糟糕，真是糟糕...
人老了，脑子不中用了！

我一定是疯了。
后个星期就要大考了，我既然接了一个南苑assignment！
在没有任何威迫利诱的情况下，我挺身而出，在这没有人会接assignment的时候，volunteer to take it。
好啦好啦，assignment itself is the attraction有没有...
要考试了，不该去签唱会，那我就去记者会咯！
算是工作吧 XP
但我还是会保持专业态度，不会假公济私的。［Like how can I even 假公济私...］

令人非常惊艳的表演，实在是让人目瞪口呆...Really "makes me wonder" what's going on...Still, an excellent performance...张芸京帅呆了！

I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye
God damn my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
And I...and so this is goodbye
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah [x3]

Ok, I guess spending that is better than having tooth decay.
