蔡依林柠檬草的味道

他们猜我们后来有没有再见
离席了才会晓得怀念
突然我记起你的脸
那触动依然像昨天
对自己
我终于也诚实了一点
是不是回忆就是淡淡柠檬草
心酸里又有芳香的味道
曾以为你是全世界
但那天已经好遥远
绕一圈
我才发现我有更远地平线
我们都没错
只是不适合
我要的
我现在才懂得
快乐是我的
不是你给的
寂寞要自己负责
毕竟用尽了力气也未必如愿
总是要过去以后才了解
突然我记起你的脸
爱不爱不过一念之间
绕一圈
今天的我能和昨天面对面
我们都没错
只是不适合
亲爱的
我当时不懂得
选择是我的
不是你给的
明天自己负责
给昨天的我一个拥抱
曾经她不知如何是好
若我们再见我会微笑
谢谢你
谢谢你
我尝过爱的好
我们都没错
只是不适合
我要的
我现在才懂得
快乐是我的
不是你给的
寂寞要自己负责
我要的我现在才懂得
选择是我的
不是你给的
幸福要自己负责
错过的请你把握

Guy's song

2011-10-17T15:02:00.003+08:00

I LOVE THESE SONGS!!! HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THEM EVERYDAY!
I can't live without music and my handphone! Lol!

The power of music is so strong until I feel that it has become a part of my life.
Life would be so boring without having nice songs to listen.
Lol!
Why am I so excited out of a sudden?

Hmm, I feel that Mandopop has sort of reached its peak. Therefore I have turned to Kpop and English songs. Used to only listen to Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Stefanie Sun and A mei but recently, I felt that Lee Hom is quite talented too ^^

Enjoy!!!

Love,
Corde ^^

好歌

2011-09-22T14:45:00.003+08:00

My all time favourite song.

越是喜欢，越是唱不好。
但，想到来，越是唱不好，也不是坏事。

至少，这代表自己没有歌词经历的那么沧桑。

Respect

2011-09-03T15:59:00.003+08:00

A person who NEVER respects people will not gain respect in return.
A person without Calibre should not waste so much money to study so much since all the educational certificates gained will be gone to waste.
This is so as every word said by this person would not hold any weight, therefore will never go far, including career and achievement wise.
The most pathetic thing on earth is to be a
Hypocrite. Yes, hypocrite is the most suitable word to describe this person.
I wonder how long can this person continue to put on an act, a soap opera.
Pathetic.

2011-09-03T00:58:00.005+08:00

Whenever I have insomnia, I will suddenly recall those images of my ah ma and us together,
Going overseas, esp during our Jiangnan &shanghai trip.
The 3 of us, tog with Mei squeezing in 1
Sofa bed even though we can sleep comfortably at our old lorong ah soo mansionette.
It's always the happy moments followed by the saddening moments.
Those images of her suddenly becoming so weak, skinny, having dementia that caused her to forget me now and then,
Is just too torturous for me.

She used to be such a healthy and active elderly, but what has she become now? Can't even swallow a mouthful of porridge.
Have to depend on tube feeding. She used to be able to buy Famous Amos Cookies for Mei and I all by herself, but now she can't even recognize her fav strawberry flavored pocky.
Omg. My heart is in tremendous pain now. Those tears keep rolling down even if I hated it。

It's so difficult to blog on iPhone.

Arh!!! I need to rant!

Good song

张惠妹 - 知道

作词：林秋离　作曲：涂惠源

既然都知道
既然睡不着
不如就把黑夜熬成破晓
我为自己骄傲
我终于可以
不靠感情这样过来了
想你是很好
但我的心在退烧逃　假装是在寻找
我　明明就不需要
人的心若是关不牢
爱到不知如何是好
你能给多少
突然我就是不想要逃　从天涯到海角
烧　泪早就不知不觉烧干了你爱的谁都看得到
可是我就很不想要
所以我这样放开了
怎么我会错乱了心跳
是什么让我不堪其扰 oh~
既然都知道
爱过了就好逃　从天涯到海角
烧　泪早就不知不觉烧干了
你爱的谁都看得到
一厢情愿让我依靠
却不曾问我要不要

林秋离 is a really talented lyrist. His works are one of the best.

Will be posting on my birthday soon!!!

Love,
Corde

Clique Outing

Finally, it's our clique's outing again!!! Hmm.... it's been quite a while since the previous meetup.

Enjoyed the time spent together :D :D :D We managed to catch up with each other and talked about almost anything :D

Hmm.... really miss those days... we used to see each other 5 days a week, but now we only get to meet up like bi-monthly?! Omg. Lol.

Everybody is so busy with their lives now - working, dating, events, church and performances. Woo.. we are really growing up!!!

Good songs are meant to be shared

2011-08-09T01:46:00.004+08:00

I loved this song since the first time I heard it.
I am so touched by this song.

My dear friends, you really have to listen to it!!!

Chris Medina- What are words

Aww. This guy, Chris Medina actually wrote this song for his Fiancee.
She had an accident and ended up like this. Instead of leaving her for another healthy girl, he stayed by her side and took care of her.

OMG. Such a loving and loyal BF.
So sweet. This is the type of guy to marry straight away! LOL.

Listen one more time with the lyrics!!!

Here's another video of him competing in American idol and his story.

Haha. I realised that I'm like hard selling this singer and his song. LOL!

One youtube-ian commented on that video,
"The one You love the most is always the one who Hurt you the most."
Although written in simple english but it's so true.

Life is short, just enjoy and continue to love the right ones my friends!

(PS: I would like to compose a song and record it for my one and only husband in the future! Just for the right one ^^ Hmm... but I dunno how to compose lei :( )

LOVE,
Corde

My own philosophy of life

2011-06-09T23:45:00.004+08:00

人生莫过于强求。
属于你的自然躲不过，
不属于你的，抢来也无解。

人生苦短，无需日夜忧愁执着。
让我们尽情享受人生，追求梦想，
照顾深爱的人与事物，才不算白活。

Corde

Is this what you like?

Simplicity versus Complication

2011-04-14T00:20:00.004+08:00

我终于开通了。

Life isn't that complicated after all. It's just that simple.

Everyone just wanna carve out their ideal career path.

Everyone just wanna find their one and only soul mate who they can pour their hearts out the whole night during a heart to heart talk and someone who they are prepared to spend the rest of their life with this lifelong companion.

Everyone just wanna seek warmth and shelter. Nobody wants to be left out alone under the thunderstorm. Do they? Even animals like dogs will also have the fear of being abandoned.

Everybody just wanna feel secured. Nobody likes to get hurt. Nobody dares to fall from great heights.

So, we shouldn't be so defensive and be suspicious of people who try to harm us (emotionally or socially). Instead, we should look into the issue in another point of view.

Instead of counter-attacking others, we might as well spend the energy and effort to console ourselves and tell yourself, "It is ok, people learn from mistakes." and NEVER allow these kind of things to happen to ourselves again.

"Forgive your enemies but never forget their names".
If you are so stupid to allow these people to hurt or backstab you a second time, you will have to pay for your own mistakes for being too stupid and silly, instead of blaming that person and carry the grievances for the rest of your life.

At the end of the day, the miserable person is you.

Of course, it's always easier said than done.

We all know what is good and what is bad.

But whether we are able to follow what is good and to eliminate what is bad, is another issue.

It's very easy to pick up a bad habit; however, it takes a long time to maintain the good habit.

Therefore, back to where we were, forgive those people who mistreated you and let go of the grievances.
Do not bite on to the fact that you lose out/ pitiful（吃亏/委屈`）.
Do not indulge in self pity.
Just let Karma do its job.
What goes around comes around.
那些对不起你的人，会自作自受的。

I wanna eliminate all my bad habits. I wanna pick up more good habits.
My dearest friends who are reading my blog, let's work hard together.

My friends, if you are in need, or just need a listening ear, you can just chat with me :D I'm all ears :D

I've learnt so much since 2008 and I've finally realised how blur I was in 2011.

Love,
Corde

Nice Song, Good Video

2011-04-02T13:21:00.009+08:00

I am going to learn this song and to perform it with mei mei.
Have been listening to the song everyday.
Did not expect that this song has such an interesting video too until I watched it on Youtube recently.

From this video, I've learnt quite a few things about life.
My dear friends, you can scroll down and pause my JJ lin's song to enjoy the video! ^^
(PS: There are 2 parts to the video)

Suki (ft. Kahi) - One love

Part 1

What do you all think about the story?

Initially, for me, I was quite angry with the 3rd party - the so called '狐狸精'- foxy woman. She seemed to have a motive from the start – spying/observing the couple from afar and pretended to knock onto him accidentally, spilling the red wine on his trousers and cleaning it for him.

However, after watching the whole video, I felt that the fiancé was the worst person in the video. He could easily be seduced and actually betrayed his gf without guilt. Even when his gf caught them red handed at his soho (office apartment), he continued to mingle with that woman happily.

(The gf must have felt uber disgusted having to hide underneath their bed.  Yuck! Filthy and dusty!)

The end of the video fully demonstrated him tasting this own medicine.

Part 2 of the video explains more about the story. The song is very emo too.

Part 2

I finally understood the whole story. I guess he “dumped” or toyed with the seductive girl 4 years ago, who was then his secretary or maybe he terminated her and recruit his gf to replace her post. She had a huge crush on him but he broke her heart.

She stumbled upon an advertisement and decided to go for cosmetic surgery. After her comeback 4 years later, she implemented her revenge. She wanted to destroy him and she succeeded. (Quite dramatic and scary though). In the end, the guy went for a cosmetic surgery too. I wonder what can he do cause he is already handsoOme.
But still, it’s pointless for him to have good looks.

He is such an irresponsible man. He still got the cheeks to go back to his ex after having his affairs.

From here,
I’ve realised that,

1. 做人要看开。退一步，海阔天空。
The poor gf do not have to feel so bitter. She should take it as a blessing in disguise that she's able to see clearly before she marries the guy who is not as good as it seems. (He finds it so fun to cover up and flirt around?! O.O)

2. We have to be clear of what we are doing. 知错，还犯错，万万不能。

3. 善有善报，恶有恶报。You will have to pay for the price.
The boyfriend had his retribution. The foxy woman fooled with his heart. He had to taste his own medicine when he witnessed her flirting around with other men. Have he ever considered how his ex fiancée was feeling when she caught them on bed?

So, haha. Ya. One short video and I have learnt 3 points.

All the above points also applies to other areas in life, not only on romantic relationships.

Most importantly, we have to be an upright person and do things with a conscience.

Love,
Corde

Ideal Career

2011-03-29T15:27:00.001+08:00

So many people has taught me this:

Find a job which suits you, and in time to come, you will be earning more than what this company pays. ;)

So which means I must have passion in my career in order to excel.

Very true.

I must find the ideal career!

The right one.
The right job.
The right life!

Wish me luck ya!

PISSED OFF

2011-01-28T21:47:00.003+08:00

PISSED OFF.

SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY UNREASONABLE,INEFFICIENT,MANIPULATIVE AND UNAPPRECIATIVE.

CORDE, KEEP YOUR COOL.

KEEP YOUR COOL.

IGNORE THESE NUISANCES.

WOW. I HAVEN'T MET THIS TYPE OF PERSON FOR SUCH A LONG TIME ALR.

NVM, NVM, ENDURE, 忍！！！ I'm graduating soon.

GET OUT OF MY WORLD. BYE!

Thoughts and Dreams

2011-01-26T18:20:00.007+08:00

Everyone have dreams.
What about yours?
I’m a girl who is filled with dreams and hopes.
There are so many things I wanna do.
I want to give my loved ones the best.
I hope to have a good career.
I want to earn enough money as soon as possible and not depend on my parents. I don’t want to depend on them to help me pay my University School fees.
I want my parents to retire early and enjoy life.
I want to build a strong foundation in all domains for my family in the future.
I hope to have the capability to employ a good private nurse to take care of my Ah Ma and bring Ah Ma to as many wonderful places as possible in the world.
However, I feel so small.
That’s when frustration caught me.
I’m so worried I can’t fulfil my dreams. Ah ma is getting older and weaker. She used to follow us to movies, outings, oversea trips. But now, she could neither walk nor change her diapers by herself.
There’s so many times whereby I just hope that she can live longer and wait for me to grow up and be independent.
All I can do now is just to buy her good food and visit her frequently.

Sometimes I find it ironic as I keep encouraging Mei and my close friends, and yet, me, myself, felt lost too.
Was feeling down the whole of last week until the weekends.
I just came to my senses while bathing.
I have been worrying too much for my age.
Those people of my age are still out and about, having fun and only bothering about issues like not having enough money or silly romantic relationships.
Therefore, I decided to step back and see a whole new light now.
我太急了。现在只要把本分做好就够了。
Time will allow everything to take place.
Our fate will lead us to our destination.
必经之路，是躲不过的。
One thing will lead to the other.
Enjoy and cherish every moment now!
Silly CORDE!!!
I am happy with what I have now! ^^ And it has always been. :D

Love,
Corde ^^

Classic song

2011-01-17T20:06:00.002+08:00

Nice song

不值得
梦飞船

除了想你除了爱你
hu ~我什么什么都愿意
翻开日记整理心情
hu ~我真的真的想放弃
你始终没有爱过
你在敷衍我
一次一次忽略我的感受
我真的感到力不从心
无力继续
这感情不值得我犹豫
不值得我考虑
不值得我爱过你
这种回忆不值得我提起
不值得想起
不值得哭泣
这段感情早就应该放弃
早就不该让我浪费时间找奇迹
这样的你不值得我恨你
不值得我为你而坏了心情
我决定不为你而毁了心
放弃爱你
除了想你除了爱你
hu ~我什么什么都愿意
翻开日记打开心情
hu ~我真的真的想放弃
你始终没有爱过
你在敷衍我
一次一次忽略我的感受
我真的感到力不从心
无力继续
这感情不值得我犹豫
不值得我考虑
不值得我爱过你
这种回忆不值得我提起
不值得想起
不值得哭泣
这段感情早就应该放弃
早就不该让我浪费时间找奇迹
这样的你不值得我恨你
不值得我为你而坏了心情
我决定不为你而毁了心
不为你而放弃爱情
不为你而毁了心
我决定不为你而毁了心
放弃爱你

Love is a wonderful thing

2011-01-12T23:40:00.003+08:00

Interpersonal relations and Love is a lifetime skill to master.

Sometimes, Love can make oneself feel:

sweet.
bitter.
anxious.
agitated.
appreciated.
estatic.
dejected.
doubted.
confused.

And thus, resulting in a Love-hate relationship.

There are so many types of love.
Kinship. Romance. Friendship. Kindness. Community.

As I grew older, I've learnt that, the stronger the love is, the greater a person can be. However, it is also ironic that as the love and bond strengthens, the vulnerability in a person will also increase.

Love can build a person. Love can also destroy a person. It can bring a person sky high and can totally crush a person.

This is the power of love.

As we grow up, we, humans will naturally develop some vital survival skills and will be more protective of ourselves. We yearn to love and be loved. Yet we are afraid to be hurt.

Love is contradicting.

Love,
Corde

Touching song

2010-12-12T12:35:00.001+08:00

A very nice song. Strong vocals with great harmonizing plus emo lyrics :D

2AM - Even If I Die, I Can't Let You Go

TRANSLATIONS

*Even if I die, I can't let you go*

Even though I'm young, the pain is the same
Just because I don't know the world very well
Doesn't mean that I don't know pain

Why do you lie, saying it'll be okay?
How will my heart that hurts this much
Be healed so easily?
How will I live without you?
That's why I

Can't let you go, even if I die
How am I suppose to let you go?
Whether you go or leave, fix my heart
If you can't fix it so that I won't be in pain
So that I can at least live
I wouldn't be able to live anyway
I can't let you go, even if I die

No matter how much you push me away
I'll hold onto you until the end
So that you won't be able to go anywhere

If you're really going to leave, then lie
That we should meet again tomorrow
That we should meet as we smile
If breaking up wasn't a joke, then I

Can't let you go, even if I die
How am I suppose to let you go?
Whether you go or leave, fix my heart
If you can't fix it so that I won't be in pain
So that I can at least live
I wouldn't be able to live anyway
I can't let you go, even if I die

We went through so much time together
How are you telling me to live by myself now?
I can't do that, I can't

I can't let you go, even if I die
I really can't let you go
How am I suppose to let you go?
I can't let you go
Whether you go or leave, fix my heart
If you can't fix it so that I won't be in pain
So that I can at least live
I wouldn't be able to live anyway
I can't let you go, even if I die

Happy Birthday Mummy!!!

2010-10-04T15:39:00.009+08:00

This post is specially dedicated to the best Mother on earth,

Mrs. Irene Lim :D

Happy Birthday Mummy!!! Hope you enjoy every moment of your birthday because you deserve only the best of the best :D

Whenever I'm sad, you'll lend me your shoulders to cry on.
Whenever I'm feeling lost, you'll enlighten me with your best advice.
When I need someone to confide to, you're always willing to lend me a listening ear.

Thanks Mummy, for always being there for me.
Thanks for giving me a wonderful life.
Thanks for teaching me how to live my life to the fullest.

It's your unconditional love for us, that made us who we are today.

Words fail me. I have so much to say yet I can't seem to put them into words.

Thank you Mummy. You are always placing both Mei and I before you, as top priority. You've worked so hard, just to give your family a comfortable life, making us feel like a Princess.

You are always so supportive of me.

You knew that I love singing, thus you gave me full support.

You're not extravagant, yet you are always splurging on us.

Both mei and I are so blessed. We never had to worry about anything. No burdens, no problems.

We loved our dogs, Lunar and Tino so much. You knew it too. Thus you bought so many toys, tidbits, pet grooming merchandises, etc for them.

You are always pampering us. Despite your busy and tiring schedule, you will always try your best to squeeze out time to fetch us everywhere for all of our performances without any complaints. You drive me to school almost everyday. We seldom have to take bus or trains.

You and Daddy like whatever we like. You both love the songs I sing. You both treat my boyfriend so well. So warm. Totally accepted him as a family. Thanks :D

You will never put me in a difficult position nor bear grudges.
You are always so understanding and caring. When I'm in a bad mood, you will never rub salt into my wounds. Instead, you'll find ways to cheer me up.

You are never calculative and will go all the way to protect us.

I still remember the incident that happened last year. I'd intended to take the bus home after school, not wanting to bother you. However, half-way through I felt faint since I was having a fever at that time. You came to fetch me without hesitation. Only after that did I realised that you actually had a blackout right before this; you even fainted on the staircase of our Lorong Ah Soo house.

You felt sick too, but never complained. Instead, you are more worried for me than yourself. Mummy, please, put yourself before us k? Your health is more important. I'm still young. Only 19. Not to worry, ya? :D

I love you Mummy. You are the only person who can make me cry just within a few minutes.

You gave me so much. I feel indebted to you. I will work hard to be a better person with a bright future.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Love,
Corde

Inspiration

2010-09-08T15:44:00.004+08:00

Have been self reflecting as usual. ( I have a habit to reflect on myself before I go to sleep)

This time, the theme is about “旧的不去，新的不来”. " Out with the old, in with the new".

Had a hearty conversation with mummy and her words inspired me. She is the best person I can ever look up to. Her words are simple, yet so impactful on me. She could just say something and I will be able to learn so many things and look at the situation from different angles and perspective. Wise.

Thus, I came up with a conclusion. I am going to change. I need to find myself back. My old self back. I seemed to have lost a little of my characteristic over the years, as I fall, as I grow, and as I start to be more and more exposed to the world- which does not appear to be as wonderful and bright afterall. :( Yucks. Boo! Thumbs down! :(

Hence, my resolution before I turn 20 is to get my old self back, fully. I must continue to be optimistic, happy-go-lucky, filled with hopes, dreams and desires. I must have the same fighting spirit like I used to have; the same strong desire and determination to acheive my goals. I must continue to have the courage I used to have - even to go through the numerous laser treatments for my neck which is unbearable at the tender age of 7. Having the confidence and courage I used to have, to overcome my bashful personality and to transform into an individual who has a strong passion and desire to shine on stage.

I need to maintain my standard. I can only allow myself to improve and not fall back. I must get rid of the negatives. I MUST learn to let go of the past. 硬硬咬住过去，是不会幸福的。

What's done is done. We cannot turn back time. So what I should do is to let bygones be bygones, and be bold and strong enough to embrace for the better. Always look at the bright side of life. Even if we've suffered from unfairness in the past, it's fine. We should just move on, forgive and forget. This way, we can embrace and enjoy greater opportunitites in time to come.

From today onwards, Cordelia will be a girl who is not afraid of losing anything.
Like this, she will be an even more cheerful girl. YAY!!!!!

我要找回自己。我坚持我的风格。

My dear friends, wish me the best!!!!

Love,
Corde :D

Internship and Lecturer

2010-07-16T15:11:00.005+08:00

OMG! My manager called me during lunch time. She wants to check with me regarding my duty for SGF. I told her that mine is on the 21st, Wed. Then, she told me that my lecturer is there at Suntec today. He went there twice and asked when I'll be going. So he will be coming down on Wed to find me.

O.O" I'm going to see my lecturer this coming Wed! STRESSED!!!

Aiyoh! What must I say ar? I should I do ar?!

长辈告诉我一些生活道理以及逻辑。
I respect her a lot and have learnt many things.
When little details are placed together, it forms a big picture. Just like a Jigsaw puzzle.
I've reviewed and re-analysed many things and learnt some philosophy of life.

Life, is simple yet complicated.
Life, is complete yet imperfect.
Life, is something we can never stop learning.

I am clearer now and am sure of my direction. Yet, I feel like holding back a little; just a little bit.
Why is this so? I asked myself. And found out the answer. I'm lacking of that 5% of courage.

I must retrieve that 5% of courage back, definitely.

Love,
Corde

Tic toc

I can feel the intensity of the upcoming events. I'm getting more and more stressed every minute. The dates are drawing nearer and nearer. Arh!

I should be fully prepared.
Very scared!

No time alr!

Jiayou Corde!!!

Cherish the people, don't take things for granted

2010-07-01T10:57:00.006+08:00

Was reading one of Jiaxyn's blog post. It is so true that I need to reinforce it in my post too. I totally have to agree with it. Her main point came across as strong and I was impressed.

She was saying about how we should cherish the people and surroundings and not take things for granted.

She also gave a very good example. An example demonstrating how our mum/dad cook for us everyday, however, if our Boyfriend/Girlfriend came over to cook, we will be so super touched. The level of appreciation will not be the same. ( We will tend to take our parent's everyday kind gestures of love for granted.)

Wow. Straight to the point. I like. Ya. I must be more aware of the surroundings and appreciate my family and close friends even more. Esp my family, who has taken care of me from the day I was born. ^^

And,

I LOVE LOW JIA YEN!!!!
Heehee :D Was touched to know that she cares for me ^^ She was proud and happy for me when she saw the gift I received from an important person in my life, on my finger. ^^ In fact, Shu, Yingting and Sihui were also happy for me that day when they saw it :D

I Love PUTS PUTS PUTS!! (Er hem, Ah yen, you wanna change our clique's name ar? PUTS not nice meh? Heh heh!)

Love,
Corde

Sleepy

2010-06-29T13:43:00.005+08:00

I feel so... AH!!!! now. Lol. Just came back from Sembawang Shopping Centre. Went to eat at MOF- Ministry of Food with my colleagues. Feel so sleepy now!!!

Must kick this bad habit away. 吃饱就想睡。Otherwise I'll have even chubbier cheeks.

YAWNS!!!

Btw, I've coloured my hair!!! YAY!! I like it so much!!! This is the 1st time I've dyed my hair. Actually I've chose a copper colour that should turn out even more reddish. However, the resulting colour is not so obvious as the hairstylist said that mine is virgin hair, that's why 不吃色。

As promised, Jiayen!!! Here's a picture of me ^^ Heehee :D

Love, Corde

Millipede attack!

2010-06-28T10:56:00.005+08:00

Was in the ladies just now (at my internship workplace) when I spotted a millipede from far. I wanted to ignore it, but it seems to be crawling towards me. Arh!!! Yucks. Thus, I tried to deter it by covering it with tissue. I continued to observe it, as I was curious. It did not go in the opposite direction. There was no movement at all.

After about 40 seconds, it left and I saw 3 rows of hardened faeces. I went on to research on it and found this:

"Females lay between ten and three hundred eggs at a time, depending on species, fertilising them with the stored sperm as they do so. Many species simply deposit the eggs on moist soil or organic detritus, but some construct nests lined with dried faeces." - wikipedia

Omg. That millipede actually constructed a nest under the toilet paper in a blink of eye!

Wow. That was gross but interesting. 1st time witnessing this in the 18years of my life.

Should have taken a pic of it and make a mini documentary. Shall name it : " Entomologist Corde and her wonderful discovery".

Muahahaha!!! Don't say my documentary is lame hor!! Heehee :P ^^

Haha. Wanna thank the cheerful cleaner aunty for helping us clear the nest. Otherwise, I couldn't imagine having 300 baby boom millipedes infestation in the Ladies. -.-"

Love,

Corde

Dreams

2010-06-04T10:22:00.004+08:00

My colleague gave me a notebook this morning. I stared at it for a while and jotted down my dreams, aims and desires.
There are so many things I want to do.
So many aims for me to fulfil.
Hope to have the determination to accomplish them, one by one.
Fortitude.

I miss my grandmother. Nothing beats having a loving and affectionate family who will always be there for me whenever I needed help. Even if I do not express my feelings, my family will just sense it and show their support for me- make me feel loved. Just like a pillar of support.

The more I should bring out the best in me. The more I should work hard. My mum says that she don't need me to be No.1 in everything, just as long as I am happy, healthy and is doing my part, that's enough for her already. Yes, I will listen and be a good daughter- to not let her worry. Take good care of myself. But, my heart says that I should do more, for them. They have done so much for me. I need to double my efforts.

My best friends want to meet me and I want to meet them too! ^^ Jiayen and Yingting, next week ok? ^^

Lady Corde

2010-05-11T16:26:00.002+08:00

4kgs = scary

2010-04-23T22:52:00.003+08:00

It is impossible for me to slim down.Lol. We have high tea everyday. My uncle and aunty colleagues keep offering me food and teased me to put on 4kg by Aug when the internship ends, so that I can go back and tell ppl that I'm well taken care of. 救命啊！我不要！ Lol. Scare me. Haha.

Just returned from Music Story. Had a rehearsal just now for Sunday's mini concert. My sis and I will be the emcee. Tommy told us that we will also be performing for the opening. Lol. Happy. We will be performing Oh!. This is the 1st time we are performing this new korean song. Haha. We got tmr morning to practice :D Cos tmr night will be a busy night for us again. Singout 10' competition.

Performances can really brighten up my day :D I feel very contented and fufilled :D I'm happy because there will be more performances coming up :D :D

Tata!

Visit to Headquarters

2010-04-22T21:41:00.004+08:00

Haha... today's a fun day!!!

My 2 bosses asked me to go to our AVA HQ at Maxwell Road. So Mrs.Lam drove Lina and me there. This is my 2nd time there. We went to level 4 Board Conference Room (haha, Lina said that I'm very lucky, cos not everybody can come to this conference, only for directors.) They introduced me to the Director, Mr. Chew Hong. He spoke with me, and asked me to contribute or come up with some new ideas on high-tech farming. Lol. After that, Jack, a customer came and signed a contract with the director. LOL. Still must take photo, etc. So serious. Somemore they still include me in the picture leh.... I so extra. :X

After that, Mrs Lam treat us to Japanese food. Then she dropped me at the MRT station and told me to help the company buy a set of Parker Pens for signing. She told me to take my time to choose and then go back to the office by myself. Therefore, I went to Raffles City to buy the Parker Pens. It was difficult as they don't have a set, thus I hope that my choice is satisfactory for them. The 2 pens are quite expensive :X

When I went back to the office, the 2 of them were not in, therefore I brought the pens home with me 1st.

That's all for today.

Tata my friends!!!

Dinner

2010-04-20T21:38:00.003+08:00

Managed to have dinner with my best friends after work. Although I was so tired that day, I really enjoyed their company. :D :D :D We laughed the whole night lor. I can totally relax and open myself up with them. :D :D

5 of us shared a mudpie together. Shu actually whispered to me that she intend to share the cake with only 1 person, which means she wants 50% of the cake, but in the end she only gt 1/5 :P

People will just come and go, but I know that these sweeties will never leave me :D I love them!!!

Performance at Music Story

2010-04-12T22:35:00.006+08:00

Last Saturday Zhuming wanted to swap with me for the Emcee for Singout, so I went to support my sister instead. When I reached Music story, Joseph told me that Tommy wants me to perform. Whoa! I wasn't prepared leh! (I think this last min decision is bcos that night has lesser contestants; not sure) ;P

I was wearing a feminine dress that I hadn't wore for 3 years. This was my 1st lady-like dress. I rmb I purposely bought it when I was 15 years old, for Music Story performing group audition. Lol. The dress was hanged in the wardrobe for ages, until recently my mum complained that it was left there too long, therefore she washed it again. Lol.

Then! OMG! I wore that dress with super high heels to dance on 2 square boxes!!! LOL!! Therefore I chose to sing Re ai bcos the dance moves are not so big. Lol. My sis and I wore dresses to sing act cute song lor. :D The other song we sang was Wo Zhi Dao :D :D

Nevertheless, I wanna thank Tommy and Joseph for giving us a chance to perform :D I enjoyed it :D :D Thank you!!!

Here's the video:

Whoa... suddenly feel very tired now.

Was doing my 1st interim report when my officer asked me to go for a meeting at 10am.

They praised me for writing good reports. And say that I can work very fast.

Siao liao... we've got a lot of work to do for the Singapore Garden Festival, then they appointed me to be fully in-charge of the whole information and pamphlet section. Siao. Still want innovative one. Haha. How? I'm so efficient meh? Huh..................................... I've got no confidence leh.

Worse thing is that, we have to grow tons and tons of veg.... must start now alr, cause only left with 3 months. I'm dead. No time to do report le. Have to go to the cold room now to help Mr.Tan at 3pm.

Oh ya, btw, I've received my pay alr!!! I've got $20 increment!! :D So proud of myself :P :P
My colleagues treat me like a baby :P

Mindset

2010-03-31T09:37:00.010+08:00

Hmm... I'm still not very clear about what I wanna do in the future, unsure of the path I need to take. All I want is to be a singer. But I understand that it is not very practical. Hmm... I want a career that is fufilling and interesting. However, I'm not very sure what I can do right now. Lol... should I stay in AVA until I turn 60? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm.... hope not. But if I go into business... not suitable for me... not smart enough. Lol.

Aiyah, I better don't think so much already la. Just see how it goes. Lol. Let nature take its course. Just enjoy every moment now can alr.

I must be more hardworking. I must work even harder. Shoo away all the carelessness and blurness. Hope that AVA can give me a distinction for my internship. I need to pull up my GPA!!! Pls Pls Pls!!

Oh oh! Mr.Tan caught me blogging. Haha. He's so nice. He just apologized to me, for not bringing me to the fields. As in try new things, experience high tech farming these few days. Aiyoh. Haha. I know that he is very busy, apologize to me for what. Anyway, we stopped our vertical farming temporarily, cos we are focusing on the container based production- for the Singapore Garden Festival exhibition at Suntec City. I'm involved in it too. Lol. They say I'm lucky bcos I'm considered to be part of the pioneer batch for high tech farming, so can go back and yaya. Lol. What lor. Haha. K. I better go back to work.

(Ps: I feel like eating something hot, or spicy also can. Steamboat. Curry fishhead. Mummy! Jiayen! Yingting! ShuhaDada! Bring me out to eat leh!)

Tata my lovely friends!!!

People I love :D Pineapple gang! :D

Brought Si hui,Yingting(squirrel) and Shu (dada)for a one day tour which is their so called 'EDUCATIONAL TOUR' by the 'STREET SMART' Corde :D

I made them walk circles inside and outside Plaza Singapura, until I called my sis and asked her for direction to the Singapore Museum, which in the end was led by Shu.

We really enjoyed the eygptian exhibition :D Met 2 of our seniors too.

After that we went for a movie at GV. Shu and yt accompanied me to Music Dreamer Live! Cafe to support Zupeng. It was his final audition. And yes, he's now their performer officially. (While waiting for Zupeng's timeslot we girls had a heart-to-heart talk outside the cafe) :)

After that since it's Wed, ladies night, we went to Clarke Quay's Zirca and Lunar. We met some of my friends again :) However, we didn't stay long because all of us have to work the next day.

Look at these wonderful artefacts!!! :D :D

Song I love of late

2010-03-11T19:35:00.002+08:00

Nowadays, I've been listening to this song by JJ Lin which really touches my heart.

林俊杰 - 翅膀

同样的机场不同世界
同样的咖啡不同味觉
同样的我和我都少了一些
看飞机划过天空不见了
用你给我的翅膀飞我懂这不是伤悲
再高都不会累我们都说好了
用你给我的翅膀飞我感觉己够安慰
乌云也不再多我们也不为谁掉眼泪
空气中藏着你的香味
回忆里躲着你的眼泪
最后拥抱的温暖还有一些
我拖着行李往前一直走
看一看回忆是云朵一朵朵的飘过
若想要回头就无法翱翔

JJ can really compose marvellous songs.

In NP now... my design lecturer is on mc today, therefore we have 4 hours break to the next lecture at 4, which ends at only 6pm. -.- Lol... now waiting for Shu's landscape plan before I can proceed with the sketchup :D

So while waiting, I shall blog :D
Haha, let me update what's happening now in class.

Jiayen is exploring Sketchup while scratching her head.
Lady shu shu is talking to me - with her beloved Mallick's accent :D

Finally

2010-01-29T19:13:00.010+08:00

This week is a long week... again. -.- I'm half dead now. Very tired. But at least I'm happy!

Reflected on some things. Decided that I should move on and look forward.

Have been receiving phone calls from unexpected people, received good news... which keeps me moving on and on and on. :D

So happy that Doctor Koh has posted me to AVA, which is my 1st choice for attachment. Yeah! At least I get to work only on weekdays, that means I can have weekends off. However, I'll be the only one in my course to work here because the AVA has only 1 vacancy. I din expect that I could get this :) I almost gave up this option, as I thought I won't have the chance, then dun wanna waste space. But my mum and sis insist that I should put this as 1st choice, as this job is the only job that can suit me.

Strangely, the thing is... a few days before the announcement, my sis and my mum actually told me separately that they had a feeling that I'll be posted to AVA. And I really got it! They can be fortune teller right? HAHA! :D

Nowadays, really don't like my computer... the resolution suddenly so wierd, then all the loading and stuffs are so slow. -.- annoyed.

Randomly, I realized that many of the songs I sang tend to be written by F.I.R Ah Qin. Lol. He's a talented guy, though his face looks gay. Haha. I envy Faye la... haha.. can have a soul mate like him. He treats her very very well, and from the gossip news I've read, they stated that Faye actually rejected Ah Qin many times. After so many years... Ah Qin still continued to woo her. Whoa. So manly la. So brave and determined for who he likes, still so faithful, still so talented, still so man ( as in personality la) Lol. :P

Complaint. Lol. My events lecturer called me and complained that my other team mates did not submit their work except for me and Steffi and that din turn up for class also and nag nag nag. Lol.
Was so shocked. Lol. I kept laughing after I put down the phone. Haha.. he's so cute, like old man. Nag non-stop. I just keep replying " Orh, orh, orh. K, ok, ya, ok" Lol. For nothing tell me for what. Lol. But he's so cute la, I like him, but I will like him even more if he's not so long winded. Lol.

Love,
Corde

Corde's energy running low

2010-01-15T23:13:00.004+08:00

Has been very busy and hectic recently... A long week for me.. very tired.

Went to Music Story for rehearsal for the Wed Marriot Hotel Wedding perf. Going for rehearsal on Sun and next tues too. Feel very pressurized to perform duet with my Vocal Instructor Tommy. Have been following him for 3 years alr. This is the 1st time I'm performing with my teacher. He can sense that I'm tensed too. Lol. I must learn to take it easy.

Events Mgt Project, arranging for the Soccer competition. The event is postponed to next Fri. :( Too many things to look into. Has been meeting up with Steffi and frens to discuss abt it. So many PBG Project coming up. Will be doing it with Shu :D

Prepare speech for my PNM Project - My laptop was down.... thus reformatted everything. All files, mp3, videos, photos, sch things = gone! Haiz. My MMOs are gone. I have to redo PNM ppt speech. Ms Wan also gave us our 2GRC assignment 2 alr. Part 1: 20% & Part 2: 30%. OMG. That's headache. Dunno how long will I take to finish drawing the scary 2 point perspective landscape.

This week is odd week. Which means that I have to wake up early every day for sch. Long days = energy draining.

And what totally drains me is receiving the news from Dr.Koh that we have a PNM Test 2 and a practical test coming up. Haiz. Less than one month towards Test 2. :( How How How. Everything crash together.

Project presentation. Mrs. Rama project + many other stuffs. Ms. Wan's challenging Assignments. :( 2LSDP Project. All competing with each other to reach the dateline b4 CNY. After CNY, it's ARB EXAM! :( Mr. Saiful actually set the exam paper during the study week. Stressed! I must Jiayou alr.

I think I really need to focus on one thing at a time. My life is too hectic right now. I feel like an old woman now. Everyday feel so tired. I'm very very contented with what I have, but at this moment, I need to attend to my studies. Studies should be priority. Furthermore exams is like only in a month's time. Not enough time to study... bcos got so many datelines to attend too + I'm too involved in recreation things like perf, rehearsal, comps, guitar.

I'm definitely NOT going to give up performing. (It stands a huge place in my heart.)
But maybe I have to cut down on singing competitions.

And I feel bad for not being able to meet up with my frens. Supposed to meet Zupeng this evening for dinner, but also cancelled cos just realised that I haven't really practice for my perf tmr and sun @ Suntec City for SAFRA.

Will be singing 6 solo songs in total :D

And I'm really touched to have such good frens. Like today, when my rubber band broke, Shu actually helped me call JY to bring my bag all the way here, to the toilet. Then Jiayen straight away came with my bag! Aww!!! So sweet of them right? Love my frens! And they are always concerned about me despite my blurness. Haha. I'm smart one hor!

Attachments!

2010-01-09T22:30:00.002+08:00

Whoa. Just checked my NP email. Going to have attachment from 8 Mar to 16 Aug. That means my desired 7 weeks Holidays is gone! Gone! Gone! After the exams, is Working Corde.

Actually I booked abt 25 lessons of driving lessons everyday, during the Mar holidays. But now how? Attachment during sch holiday leh! That means crash la!!!

How How How? My PDL can only last for 6 months. Then how ar? In addition, it is so difficult to book driving lessons! How HOW HOW!!!

Hmm... actually I'm looking forward to my attachment. Sounds fun. Never work b4. :D Dunno got salary or not. I heard that have lor. They will give you transport allowance.

Hope to clear my driving asap!

Good start for the new year!

2010-01-08T15:10:00.003+08:00

YAY!!! This is a great start for the new year!

I'm happy, happy, happy! Starting from tonight, I'll be performing at Lock and Keys. Thanks Zupeng for including me! :D :D :D And will be looking forward to all the upcoming performances, over this weekend - Impressario and Khatib ( thanks to the countdown perf ).

Was elated to receive a call from the super nice committee from Nee Soon for their next event this Sun. :D Will be perfoming my solo and a duet with my sis this time :D Also looking forward to next week - 16th and 17th : SAFRA perf at Suntec City! :D :D :D Do come down to support me btw 1-2pm!!! CYA THERE!! :D

Have to try to grab all the extra time to manage my projects and upcoming Test. :D

Jiayou! Gambette! Fighting!

Perseverance is key

2010-01-04T21:58:00.004+08:00

"Victory belongs to the most persevering."

Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.

I have to learn and grow from the past experiences, including the ones that hurt.

Perseverance, is the word for me.

I see it in my mum. She possesses perserverance.
Since I'm her daughter, I must, I will, I can learn to get hold of it.

Jiayou! Gambatte! Fighting!

Music Story PK Idol Finals

2010-01-02T22:08:00.003+08:00

Very happy to be able to host and perform for PK Idol. Really thankful towards Music Story for taking the risk to let me host for such event. Thankful for their trust in me :) I prepared a lot for it, but still, I stammered in between. So super Paiseh. I should have done better. Thanks MS!!! Performed Nobody with my sis and all my pretty friends. Also, I'm contented to perform 为你而活 with Zhuming. Have been wanting to perform this song for a long long time. So when ZM suggested that we should perform a duet together, I immediately suggested this song! Heehee :D

A lot more which I wanna write. But have to continue my homework now. :D

Current state of mind

2009-12-21T22:37:00.003+08:00

"Your current state of mind is only a state. You can change it if you really want to. "

This quote is indeed very important to me. I seldom and also don't like to talk/open up about my emotional things. Luckily there are angels that will always be there for me. (my beloved Family and true friends). :D Really appreciate all these ppl who pulled me up from my sorrows and never fail to brighten up my day when I feel vulnerable.

Up till here, I suddenly thought of a song. “发现自己其实脆弱,不敢说” ...

Back to the main point. I can, I am able to change my state of mind. I will.

Happiness and love is in the air!

Just a random note to myself

2009-12-20T12:41:00.002+08:00

The most impt thing is to cherish the present, what I have now. There's no need to doubt, no need to think so far. No need to worry about who MIGHT be giving empty promises. And rmb, it's only a 'MIGHT'. It's not for sure. This is life. Stay happy!

Stay happy with me too! My friends! :D :D :D

2009-12-12T05:03:00.003+08:00

Just now 12pm until 4.30pm... have been lying down on the bed. Cannot sleep. Cos once I lie down, I will keep coughing. Really very uncomfortable. Arh!!! Wasted so much of my precious time. I alr have not enough time to revise for common test alr, still waste time. Worse still, still cannot sleep. Never sleep = stupid brain. ARH!!!

Haiz. Complain so much also no use. :'(

-Mugging in process-

Tata!

Hmm...

2009-12-08T22:15:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... Everytime I have something impt or is going through a crucial period then I will fall sick. Well, not everytime, but often. :X

Ranking for Year 3 Attachment

2009-12-04T01:06:00.005+08:00

Dr.koh gave us 2 forms today. One to choose between the electives. One to choose which type of job attachment we are going to pursue. I've made my choice. Hope to get my ideal choice. I really hope to.

Really love this song. You are not alone, by Micheal Jackson.
Everytime I listen to this song, my heart melts. And I will feel quite sad. This song suits MJ very well. MJ rocks. Liked MJ after watching his documentary in 2004-he didn't have a wonderful childhood. Poor thing. He's so talented, he compose wonderful music, choreograph many nice dances, was the creative and music director of his own concerts. That was WOW! What a talent! Wasted. He deserve much happiness.

Tata,
going to slp now. Nites.

2009-11-28T19:44:00.002+08:00

AR!!! Stressed! Revising for my Common test now. Very scared.

I'm very angry with myself. I rarely had 2 full days to spend at home. And yet, what am I doing? Not studying hard enough, rarely made any progress in my revision, still feeling not so confident about my upcoming test on Tues. Although I have alr read through all the notes, I'm still unsure whether my brain has absorbed all those that I've studied. ARH!!! Frustrated! And I feel so fat now. I need to go on diet. But what am I doing now?

Sitting at the table all day long, staring at that pile of paper, wasting my time, eating, and sit again. I feel so lousy now. ARH!!! I've been doing those that I shld not be doing. I slack too much these 2 days. I shld be dieting, practicing for performance, revising, practicing guitar. But what am I doing now? Tmr will be a busy day for me. Got perf for youthbox, den got guitar and hosting at MS. I won't be studying tmr lor. I still have to go sch to discuss my events mgt project with my friends on Mon lor.

No time No time No time!
Diet Diet Diet!
Study Study Study!

Tino Lim

2009-11-17T19:44:00.003+08:00

My dad just returned home 5 mins ago. He said his philippino colleague wants Tino Lim. This Sat wanna collect. My heart hurts now. Cannot concentrate on my homework. But NO!!! I mustn't cry. I cannot cry. I have cried enough alr. I should instead feel happy for Tino, as that guy has a family, and they will definitely love Tino as much, or maybe even more than us. That guy has kids. And his kids will surely bring him down for a stroll more often then us. I should let go. They will have more time to spend with my lil chubby brother.

我的鼻子酸酸的。但是我不能哭。

I will give my blessings for Tino Lim Tan Chi. I am so silly, got people want him already very good alr. He is already so much luckier than other abandoned dogs.

I dunno why I'm secretly hoping for that guy to change his mind, so we can keep Tino for a longer period. But this isn't gonna work.

是命中注定，that Tino was sent to us by his 1st owner who nearly sent him to SPCA,
是缘分, that Tino entered our life
是注定，my kind sis treated his fleas problem - the 1st owner probably didn't want him due to this
是命，that he is fed chubby and become healthier- stronger digestive tract now, no more diahoerrea and vomiting

It's all fated. He is very lucky to have someone who is so eager to take him in. 我因该放心。No crying! No Crying! This is part and parcel of life! Tino is still going to live well and happy.

Just at the 1st sight, we immediately liked Tino Lim so much. So what's more for his new owner? They will DEFINITELY take good care of him de!

I need to keep myself even more busy. So there will be no more room for me to be emotional. And I'm assuring myself again, this is a better option. Tino Lim will continue to lead an even wonderful life.

Recent Activities

2009-11-10T22:53:00.003+08:00

And indeed, it's a really enriching lesson for me as I've learnt alot from there. Thanks MS! I also wanna thank them for giving me constructive comments too. :D

I got into the finals for SAFRA PK Challenge. Happy and thankful!!! :D :D It's nice to also see Jae, Michelle and Leslie at SAFRA last Sat :) Thanks Jae for your compliment! I will jiayou de :D 6Cs; i'll rmb :P

Oh ya! For my Events Management Module right, we are planning a Street Soccer competition. Lol. Then I was finding Sponsors for our event, then received a reply from NUM- New Urban Male!!! Wow! I've never worked before, then 1st attempt to 'work' on my own without any guidance den can get a glimpse of hope alr! Was overwhelmed, cos I'm not so confident also. Not so sure whether my approach was right or not :D But my lecturer said he will not tell us exactly what to do- cos he say he want us to think out of the box, by telling us what to do will only narrow down our thinking and creativity. He will guide us as and when required. :D I think he's right :D He's very nice and smart. YAY! Wish me luck in negotiating! Hope that New Urban Male will support us :D If they support us, all my friends must support them ok! Anyway I also got support them alr lei! I bought Havaianas flip-flops from their Heeren outlet lei! Heehee :D

My new rented flat

2009-11-02T11:21:00.006+08:00

Just moved out from my old house at Lor Ah Soo. Our new flat at Yishun isn't ready yet. Cos our seller hasn't settled down with his new flat. Therefore, since our buyer needs to move in earlier as Minton rise HUDC is tearing down, and that our new flat isn't ready yet, we compromised and rented a 5 room flat at Admiralty. These are some of the pics of the new house. Still trying to get used to the new place. Woodlands is very very far :X And ya, I wanna say 'Hi!' to my new neighbour Leon Koh Ah Man.

Love,
Corde

Driving Final Theory Test

2009-10-29T22:23:00.002+08:00

YAY!!! I feel so relaxed now! :D Shu and I had passed our Final Theory Test at one go this morning at 10.30am :D :D Have been very stressed last week because of this. But now, yay! Freedom! My sis's test will be tmr! Wish her luck!

Jiaqi just came to our house just now. Was chased by naughty Lunar. So paiseh :P Was having a nap when they screamed. Den rushed downstairs and stopped Lunar. Lol. Poor Jiaqi. My sis still continued to carry Chubby Lion Tino Lim and leave Jiaqi there in the 'lurch'. Lol. My mum was standing there laughing, asking Jiaqi to stop running. Then the scenario was like, when Jiaqi run, Lunar chase. When Jiaqi stop, Lunar stop. Lol. Then they were like running up and down the stairs la. Lol. Then finally, she went to the toilet and hide.

Today is a silly day. I feel light, relieved and carefree ( And nope, I'm not advertising for any brand).

With Love,

Corde Chord

2009-10-26T04:11:00.003+08:00

*cries* I tried to sleep = vomit again. 3rd time. Looks like I cnt slp anymore. If not all these vomiting isn't going to end. It's 4am now. The neighbouring blks are starting to light up one by one. And I'm still sitting in front of my comp. Nothing I can do.

Vomiting

2009-10-26T03:33:00.002+08:00

Whoa. My mum and I felt very uncomfortable since 10 plus until now. We keep running to the toilet, but couldn't vomit. Until just now at 3am, we both vomit until like mad. I vomited twice. We suspect that it was the bottle of water that we shared earlier that is contaminated. Oh gosh. Poor mummy, she drank so much, but she only vomited a little- I drank only one mouth, den vomit so much. I feel so much better now, but poor mummy, she must have felt worse. I keep telling her to press her stomach against the basin to vomit more, but no use. I can still taste the vomit in my throat, and the acid is burning my throat and nostrils. Omg. I'm so sleepy, but I cnt sleep... if I lie down, I'll vomit again. Haiz.

Hate this feeling. I hate vomiting the most. Both of us didn't wanna take MC tmr, cos I have to discuss my events management project in class and mummy said she couldn't afford to take any MCs as she will alr be taking off for 3 days to settle everything (move house).

Feel very 辛苦 now. Very sleepy. :( :( :( Oh no. Feel like puking again. :(

1st week of sch

2009-10-23T19:28:00.003+08:00

Wow... today's friday. Time flies. Lol.

Everytime I reach home I will feel half-dead. Very tired. I don't really feel fatigue in school as I have a bunch of super funny and interesting friends. Pineapple UTS. But once I reach home, I'm like totally a zombie. Have to juggle with many things these days. Many challenges that I've set for myself. Hope that I can have the determination to follow to my to-do list. Lol.

I'm stressed for my driving Final Theory Test. But thanks to Justin for the encouragement. I will pass! I will pass! I will pass!! :D :D

Reached home at 5.40pm after a long day of sch. Ate dinner. Was chased by a lion. Cos I'm holding on to a round wife pastry. Lol. And guess who's the lion who likes round FOOD and toys, just like me?

Tino Lim Fat Boy :D

What I'm doing now

2009-10-20T19:37:00.003+08:00

School reopens

Determination

2009-10-19T23:27:00.002+08:00

Determination is key. I need determination!!! Someone motivate me pls!!

The last post on Lunar and Tino, and no more emo-ing anymore, period.

2009-10-16T03:09:00.006+08:00

It's 3.10am now. And once again, I'm haunted with insomnia. My father's friend wanted Tino (the white and brown chubby Lhasa Apso). His wife gave her dog away last time, and is missing it badly. She's regretting it now,thus wanted a dog. I'm sleepy. I really need some sleep. I got Final Theory Trial Test tmr. But when I close my eyes, at the dark, cold, quiet room, Memories and everything about the 2 boys will just simply surface.

I remembered clearly, 2 yrs ago, when aunty Ah mei's dog bobo gave birth to 6 puppies, she asked my father to adopt one, bcos she's got a husky (Lunar's father) too. We went to her house on and off to get closer to Lunar, and after 2 weeks, when he no longer need milk from his mother (cocker spaniel), he was brought home. At 1st, he was excited and a happy baby/toddler, but after that, he began to miss home and cried everynight. After a few weeks, he was already like a brother to us. We brought him to the Botanical Gardens - he wanted to roll on the lush greens at the Symphony lake... SO CUTE!!! But was stopped, cos many ppl were having picnic there. My father then allowed him to run freely at a more composed area. Baby Lunar was overjoyed at that time, he jumped onto the greens, with a Thud!!! He actually jumped into a lake, which is camouflaged by plants. He got a shocked, and so was my Father. It was the 1st time Lunar swam. Haha. After that, he laid on the grass, trembling. He couldn't stand up, cos his legs were wobbly. My father hugged him. Whoa. I can still rmb every detail clearly.

Next is Tino naughty greedy chub Lim. We were watching TV when my father suddenly called home and said, " my friend keep asking me to take Tino. He said if not, he would be sent to SPCA to be put to sleep. And they bought him for only 1 yr." All of us was like, hmm, are we able to keep 2 dogs? But all of us felt very bad if we didn't take in Dino ( his previous name, we changed it to Tino) The fat boy was sent here the next day. He was very shy but happy at 1st, but once his owner left, he ran to the gate and barked very loudly, non-stop. He was crying at the same time too. He was using all of his might to try to escape, to return to his owner. He barked the whole night. The next 3 days,Tino was very hostile and defensive towards everyone in the house. He didn't wanna eat (eating was his favourite). Lunar cried a few times too -- he totally treats Tino as his brother --> he felt sad seeing Tino being so depressed.

I used to be so afraid of cats and dogs. But because of these 2 boys, I began to like dogs. I began to search youtube for videos of dogs. I became interested in dogs, and read many articles about them on the internet. Because of them, I learned many things. I reflected on many things. They just inspire me to have a better outlook on life. They showered me with love. I've always wanted a brother. And now, I totally treat them like my own brother. But now, they are leaving me.

Will history recur? Will Tino feel abandoned again? Their future owners will definitely love them as much as I do. I also do know that we cannot afford to keep them anymore, cos mummy's and mei's health is detoriating due to their fur, we are moving to a much smaller flat now, it will be very very difficult to clear their poo and urine w/o a balcony, scrub and water. Mop instead. The house will stink even more, since we're no longer 2 storeys/levels. And the worst, we are not allowed to keep large or multiple dogs in a HDB flat. I know. I understand. I also understand that I shouldn't feel so guilty as we have already done our best. Tino might have already been put to sleep 9 months ago. Lunar might have already been like his siblings -- being abandoned on the streets cos their owner just seriously allowed her dogs to have 3 cycles of babies ( 6x6x6 -- Lunar being the 1st batch). There is something call Dog Contraceptive Injection. :( :( :( At least they have already been fed until so healthy and chubby. At least they have tried everything, chicken wings, potato chips, meat, prawns other than dog food. At least they enjoyed dogs tidbits, rawhide, lots of toys and fun. Haiz. But yet, my heart still aches alot. I still cannot stop the tears from falling everytime I think of this, at night.

Maybe I should not have any pets anymore. I keep blaming myself for not having the ability to keep them. Which I shouldn't . Mummy says that.

Giving them away is the best option, Cordelia. They will still be pampered and taken care of. They will experience even better things with their next owners. In addition, they will surely be loved as they are kind in nature. They understand english, and is highly intelligent. Everyone loves them. So, not to worry Cordelia!!!

Haiz. I wonder how will I feel after reading this post a few years later.

Have I made a wrong choice?

2009-10-07T18:49:00.002+08:00

Walked the dogs with my sis just now, at Charlton Garden. A sporty indian man who looks just a little older than my father liked Lunar very much. He was playing with Lunar and sayang-ing him when Tino walked to him too, den he grinned and said 'I nv say I wanna touch u, I wanna touch this one( pointing to Lunar). After that he told us that he have been wanting a large dog all the while, but Hdb flat don't allow. He esp liked Lunar cos Lunar is tough and sporty too. He said that small dogs fall sick all the time, very troublesome, have to bring them to the vet and barks a lot. That's really true. Lunar is very independant, we will unleash Lunar if nobody is in the garden. But we will nv unleash Tino, cos he's diff to control.

Haiz. Then he said, if we don't want Lunar, can give him. Haiz. I immediately said ok lor. After that then regret, then kept quiet. He got a shock, cos I think he is also not ready to accept Lunar. Then he repeated 2 more times, saying " If you don't want him, give me huh". Haiz. As I walked home, I felt very selfish and naive. I did not want to give Lunar away. I don't feel like giving Lunar away. He's joined our family since 2 weeks old, has alr been a member of our family for 2 years.

But now... we are going to move into a much smaller house in yishun, cannot bring a large dog like Lunar, not to say 2 dogs. Since the guy is so loving, and I have a strong feeling that he will be a good owner to Lunar, it would be more logical and wiser to give Lunar to him. But why am I so selfish!!! ARH!!! I couldn't react at the moment.... I kept quiet, den the indian man paiseh... den walked away.

He looks proper and has the ability to bring Lunar up. What's more... a lot of ppl won't want to take Lunar in de... cos he's black... looks like cocker spaniel even though his father is expensive breed Husky. They don't know lor! Lunar is the best baby I've ever had.... obedient, smart, understands english, has the character of a Husky. :( :( :( I cried twice. The heartbreak I'm having now is unbearable. I'm really selfish.... ARH!!! I hope I can see the man again, then give Lunar to him.

Haiz. I really hope that Lunar and Tino can find their best owners. My sis told my father...he also said nvm, if there's fate, Lunar will surely meet the man again. ARH!!! Hope I can earn lots of $$, buy bungalow, den can bring the 2 fat boys back. :(

Lyrics and feelings

2009-10-05T11:05:00.003+08:00

爱链
詞：陳天佑曲：蘇亦承主唱：黃美珍

我不懂不愛這種結果
你別說再說都是心痛
我放了手像不再為愛前進的時鐘停在心頭
部落格記錄我們的所有我的夢從此已經不同
那些感情寄居在不對的殼要多久我的世界我來掌握
你給的愛像手鍊圈住了我愛的太多 而我想要的你卻都不懂
兩人的世界只剩下了一種 心碎的沈默
你沈默我卻有種心痛
猜不透你心裡想什麼
我的感情為你失去了自由要多久 就算是愛我想解脫
你給的愛像手鍊圈住了我愛的太多
而我想要的你卻都不懂 兩人的世界只剩下了一種心碎的沈默
我要的愛用溫柔鍊住了我不會退縮
而你不曾問我是否快樂 兩人的世界都不必再折磨 謝謝你愛我

【妥協】
你總愛編織謊言我負責配合表演
所有改變只為了進入你的世界
這情節重覆了一百遍才發現是你的心太野
你劃定楚河漢界我不能輕易犯規
所有時間都是先給了你優先權
不自覺愛到不敢冒險
成了你的魁儡一年兩年才看見我有多狼狽
愛到妥協到頭來還是误解 绑著你不讓你飞
历史不斷重演我好累 愛到妥協也無法將故事再重寫
你递下最後通牒我躲在我的世界
你只是害怕一個人睡 我不想再為你掉淚
我了解不會變不再徘迴 開始自己的明天

Happy Birthday Mummy!!!

2009-10-04T23:48:00.008+08:00

4th Oct is my mum's birthday!!! :D :D :D Happy Birthday Mummy!! Hope that all ur wishes will come true, and have a wonderful year ahead :D :D

Haha.... we celebrated her b'dae by... eating!!! :P I actually planned to roast a chicken for her, on Thurs, 1st Oct. I even bought a whole chicken and black pepper from Cold Storage, struggled with chopping off the head, legs, buttocks, intestines and all the dirty dirty inner parts :X It was so gross, smelly and ... I got scolded from Tino Lim (my fat 'bro'--> dog) and my sis. They scolded me for screaming in the kitchen(Hey! pls lor... I dun shout for nothing one lor :P) I was petrified while pulling the legs out from the chicken, as the chicken feet was having a reflex action... after that I heard some lizard sound and an imaginative chicken sound :( That was rather eerie! :X After I've washed the chicken, I marinated it with black pepper and left it in the fridge overnight. The next morning... when I was trying to roast the chicken, the main electricity of the whole house was cut off :( To no avail, even after trying thrice. :X I guess it's bcos I din use the oven for like abt more than 6 months :P Oh gosh... I spoiled my father's toilet bowl flush and the oven :P So paiseh. Hmm... maybe they are spoilt all the while, it's only that I itchy hand go and touch only la hor :P Oh wells, no more roast chicken :( Only left with Spring chicken :( Haha, we went to Sun and Moon at Wheelock Place to have birthday lunch on Fri, and had Dinner/cut cake at Jumbo @Indoor Stadium.

Love,Corde

Cordelia! Worries are not necessary!

2009-10-02T23:22:00.002+08:00

I keep worrying over some trivial matters. I don't know why I'm like losing patience and keep wanting to learn how to do it. I'm also worried about another issue; whether I can do it or not- cannot! I must have confidence! Hmm... Budden, suddenly I feel that there is no point to worry abt all these things... bcos it's really really unneccessary!

ARH!!
FOR NOTHING!
YA LAR!!
HMM LAR!!!
OK LAR!!
UMM LAR!!
AIYAH!!

I feel much better now. I feel a little stupid after writing this post.

Can't sleep.

The Formula one SG Night Race is over. The team is packing up, to prepare for their next show in Japan, on the 4th of Oct (my mum's birthday) :D The champion is Lewis Hamilton. The results were like, wow! They only differ by a few seconds! That's really impressive.Haha, ok... that was rather random.

Sat, I went to Suntec City Eng Wah Cinemas to watch the movie 'White Out'. If you have not watched, you have not missed anything. :P After purchasing our tickets, we walked out and coincidentally saw 2 Renault Drivers, Fernando Alonso (3rd) and Romain Grosjean. Wow... haha, downstairs was packed like sardines. Many ppl were in the queue, hoping to catch a glimpse of the drivers, as they walked down the carpet. Lol... The drivers were signing autographs, and were very polite. They were signing non-stop. Haha... during the interview, Alonso said that he just woke up and got no time to see Singapore yet. I like Romain(he was from Formula 3, then now he joined Formula 1)... He was very friendly and cute. After the interview, they can't even leave the place... They were blocked by their fans, who wanted more autographs... thus, the bodyguard had a hard time, and led them to an alternative route, to their car. Lol.. It was fun seeing this, from upstairs.. We had a good view. Haha...

K.. going out now... tata

What have I been doing last week? Slack? Heehee, a bit.

I've taken up a driving course at AMK SSDC with Shu and my sissy. So far we have all passed our Basic Theory Trial Test :) Wish us luck for our upcoming Basic Theory Test!!! Hope to clear everything asap, so that I won't crash with my test/exam week after sch reopens :)

I' ve also went clubbing with my sissy (sis) and friends, Yin Qing, Deniece, Valarie, Velarie's sis (Melissa) and Melissa's friend :) We met up at Central to have our dinner, followed by a chit-chat session by the SG river. Then, we met Valarie's sis at the restroom! Such a coincidence! Haha :D

After which, we went to lunar! It's the 1st time my sis, yinqing and I go clubbing :) It's overall a nice experience :) Wed is ladies night, so we had free drinks and admission. The clubs' crew wanted to check our IC b4 letting us in and said: 'Wow... so you all just turned 18! I feel so old now' lol... We stayed at lunar for a while, b4 proceeding to Zirca, when we stay till midnight. Wow, I feel like a bad girl :P Heehee.. I tried some alcohol- Coke with Volka, green tea with Martell... lol.. but I don't like the taste, it causes headache. In the end, my sis and I had 2 glasses of orange juice. -.- lol... den Deniece pulled us to the dance floor for some crazy dancing... lol... It was fun! It's the 1st time I ever danced on the dance floor--- noob. Heehee... country bumpkin.

We left at 2am-- after calling my mum to fetch us and also yinqing back to yishun... so nice of her rite? Heehee... we bully her... :P Thanks mummy!!! Oh ya!! When we were walking back to Central to wait for my mum, I saw Azizul and his friends outside Rebel, another club! lol... He was so shocked to see me... He can't believe that he would see me here...lol... I told him I've turned 18 and wanted to come and see what clubbing is.. and the whole group started to wish me Happy Birthday! Lol... so cute!! :D :D :D And you know what? The place was so crowded! And we bumped into our sec sch mates!! lol...*sings* 'Its a small world afterall' . :D lol.. so after sending yinqing, we sent Hillary who lives in Kovan as well... by the time we reached home, it's 3am... lol... Craziness!!!

Just some random thoughts...

2009-09-20T12:24:00.003+08:00

Hmm... recently, has been thinking of taking up some courses. I need to spend my holidays wisely... instead of sitting in front of my computer, playing the Sims2. lol. However, I'm quite dissapointed with one of the courses I'm considering. After some brief calculation, comparing with the price I've rmbed in my memories, I discovered a shocking, yes, shocking truth. Yes, they have given me a discount... a whooping sum of.... 50 cents. Hmm.. ya, $0.50. I dunno what my reaction shld be. lol. Nvm.

Random thoughts #2.

“Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets; then can come the best of benedictions - "If I had my life to live over again, I'd do it all the same”. I believe in this quote. I should and must improve and try to achieve these.

Accept the pain. Let bygones be bygones. No point pondering, recalling all bad memories. There's no point to the word hate. Hatred is only self- torture. Hatred will also brew bad things.
So, shoo!

Cherish the joys. Yes. This is the most impt. Many will tend to take things for granted. Same applies for me. I think it is really wrong and I should not. I need to cherish everyone, everything that is given to me. Hmm.. but the problem is, I'm not good at expressing myself, esp via words.
I tend to worry too much and is sort of an introvert when it comes to emotions. Haiz. There were many a times when I wanna express my gratitude, concern towards some of the wonderful ppl- family and friends, however, it's always this time that I could not find my courage. I just can't simply put them to words. Resulting in some ( those who think that they understand me, but yet they don't) find that I'm arrogant or indifferent. Haiz. Cordelia. Pls change. Get rid of this flaw.
2 of my friends, coincidentally told me the same thing (in 2009, lol) that I should learn to speak up, my opinions, etc. And not just bottling up, and then forgive and forget. She said that not all ppl will reflect and look at themselves in the mirror... some will take advantage and then just continue. Hmm. ya. I'm seen some cases. Very true.

Resolve the regrets. Don't live in regrets. Life is short. I shld be more courageous. Heehee, and I'm relieved that I've taken out the 1st step- pursue my dreams in singing. I've always been a reserved girl (as seen in my report book -.-) lol.. I was depressed due to studying during my sec days.. until my mum encouraged me to learn singing. It was then, that I learnt many things; not only singing, but also gave me a chance to be exposed to the ugly side of the society/world. I've learnt over the years ( age of 15-18) that many things are not as innocent as before. And I have to get rid of the gullible and naive cordelia inside me who believes that everyone is pure, kind, whatever u can name it. Of course, there are still many ppl who are pure and kind- I'm really blessed and lucky to have so many nice, pure and good ppl ard me. Thanks! Love! :D

And ya, lol... I've just realised that I've written a lot. I have to keep these 3 points in my mind, and continue to work hard for a better Cordelia! Better life! Better future! Better path! Better mood! (well, the last one was a spoiler :P)

Haha, I feel much better now after spilling out my thots.

Tata! Thanks for reading my blog :D

Love,
Corde
