I have an early breakfast before proceeding to my new house at senja road. We start to remove all the curtains and intend to do a new one for all the bedrooms and living room as well. That is just the starting and we both remove within minutes. Alan even praises me for removing fast and steady. Both his dad and mum are there too. After they have left, we continue our main job of the day. The next thing we do is to lay the newspapers on the floor and secure with masking tape for the painting the next day. Then, we each take a room and try to concentrate. Meanwhile, I have been carrying all the things that are blocking my way to a corner. This makes my job easier. After a few hours passed, we finally covered almost 1/4 of the flat. I believe that nothing is impossible, as long as you have the determination. We continue covering the floor and paying particular attention to mask the tape exactly near the walls. This will assist our painting and we make our jobs easier too. After squatting and standing, we felt somehow thirsty. Alan volunteered to go to the NTUC fairprice near our flat to buy a bottle of mineral water. I went back to work and this may seem as an exercise for me. I felt myself losing calories. Ha ha! I gained back the calories when alan's dad and mum come fetch us for lunch. I ate quite a lot. I supposed I have been too tiring. However, I do not feel so myself. I just find elated to have complete another 1/4 of the flat which means 1/2 of the flat has been done. Then when we are back the flat, we continue with our work. In the meantime, Alan's mum and dad told us that they will be back later to fetch us to buy delux paints and brush and other necessities for painting. Actually, Alan and I have already chosen the colour of the paint at the nippon and delux paint shop near his condo. We have jotted down the code and this will make our purchase faster and may even save on quite a lot of choice making time. Yeah! Then we are back at the house to continue our work... Alan's dad then help us to mend the cracks. And Alan and I joined after we have almost completed covering the whole flat inclusive of the toilets and kitchen. Wow! It's fast and neat job done. We both find a sense of satisfaction and we go on to help his dad mend the crack. Not long, his dad has to go back his condo to set up a waterfall for his pond in the garden. Perhaps, it can help to save some of fishes from dying. It could be the fishes lacking of oxygen in the water. He actually has a very creative idea in using the flower pot to make the water overflow or even flow through a small hole. Smart chap! Back to our flats, we finally finished mending the cracks when the time reached 5.45pm...almost reaching 6pm. We are deadbeat by then and so we proceed to clear up certain mess. I even make a suggestion to alan to label the paint with (living room, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, master bedroom, ceilings). This label is better recognise for his friend who is coming tomolo to help. I believe it will be better for alan and I as well. Instead of looking at the code and we may not be sure what colour is for what room. We get it over and done with quickly. Then we leave our flats ....locking the gates with a lock. Alright! I have done something constructive today. Is it? Then I am back at his house to bathe and have my dinner. At night, I still have to get on with finishing up my cce assignment. A long and tiring day for me...How I wish I can have longer weekends now...?? can I???? ||7:01 PM||

Timezone sounds familiar to all the youngsters. I will not missed out on the fun as well. I am introduced to play on the soft-toy or mini-disney figurine game machine and if you are lucky, you are able to get a lot of fanciful stuffs such as little minnie mouse key chain. I am of course, elated after watching at how my friend, Shannon, manages to get a lot of stuffs dropping off the rack to the output holder. Her sister is even more familiar with the rotating of the joystick or pressing of the buttons to retrieve the targeted objects. I give double thumbs up to both of them. Amazing to have a friend who has such a unique interest and I do doubt that I am into this youngster trends in collecting the disney cups and others too. Now, I have the cinderella and mermaid porcelain cups. I still need the snow white cups to make my collection a full set. Unlike Shannon, she has a sister who helps her to collect all the full set beforehand. I am a bit jealous but no choice. Anyway, I am quite satisfied with what I have now. I have a minnie mouse for myself and has given one mickey mouse to alan. I supposed he is happy at receiving the tiny little gift. Do not assume that I am childish. I do have my reasons for doing so. I play at the timezone to relieve my stress over my cce assignment. This assignment really creates sleepless nights for me. Today is one of the day as well. Everyone sleeps soundly and I am still in front of the PC, trying to make my last sentence or can I say trying to add in points and edit my assignment. I really cannot imagine where I have all the might to do all these. Oh yar...the time is 11.57...time for my beauty sleep. Bye Blog...muaks....!!!! Hope I sleep soundly...

Done from the following website: http://www.colorquiz.com/ Brenda's Results from the Quiz: My Existing Situation The fear of rebuff and the extreme caution of her approach make it difficult for her to achieve the degree of intimacy and identification she desires. My Stress Sources Has lost the resilience and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties, which appear to her as deliberate opposition. Stands her ground, but is subjected to intolerable pressure. Needs cooperation and emotional fulfillment and feels that, in their absence, there is nothing she can do to improve the current situation. Wants to 'get away from it all' quickly. My Restrained Characteristics Wants to broaden her fields of activity and insists that her hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that she may be prevented from doing what she wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore her confidence. Insists that her goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing her to compromise. Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner. My Desired Objective Seeks freedom from problems and a secure state of physical ease in which to relax and recover. My Actual Problem Anxiety and a restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional needs, have produced considerable stress. She tries to escape from these into a conflict-free security in which she can relax and recover. My Actual Problem #2 The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities, or reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. She attempts to escape from this into a stable and secure environment in which she can relax and recover, free from any further demands on him. ||8:35 PM||

Done from this website: http://www.lhj.com/lhj/quiz.jhtmlquizId=/templatedata/lhj/ quiz/data/GirlFriendQuiz.xml&catref=lcat51 Brenda's result You're a great friend! Congratulations! When a friend is in need, you are the gal to call. You can be trusted with secrets and are quick to yield a comfy shoulder to cry on. When the going gets tough, you almost always get going to see if you can be of assistance. You also know your boundaries and aren't afraid to take time out from a friendship when it's overwhelming you or compromising your feelings. You maintain an abundance of friends -- people you've kept up with through thick and thin and through all kinds of life changes. What about yours? Try it out! ||11:30 PM||

In a math test, does it mean scoring is that important? I feel that I have tried my very best for my MM quiz 2. Actually, I have pinned high hopes to be able to do most of the questions. The instance of shocking and confused face is revealed when I read through the quiz paper. As a way of encouraging myself not to give up, I keep telling myself I can do it. I read through the question, taking note of the condition and a lot of thinking just goes through my mind. Under such quiz condition, I would not let lose myself. Working slow and steady on the first question until it reaches the 2nd question. This takes up a lot of courage when I first come across these questions. Who would not be frightened by it? It comes to a point when I am stuck in the repeating integration by parts. I tell myself not to give up the last hope even though the time is early. I look around me. My friends are all working consistently and none of them seem to look up around them. I look back at my paper. I have been asking myself a lot of questions but nevertheless, I cannot answer any of them. I find myself being sank to the deepest sea, almost feel like drowning. Why on earth I am sitting there, trying to deceive myself that I can do the questions when it is impossible for me to have done it. Am I just making myself feel better at that time? But the real fact is I am not concentrating, my tutor keep walking around and I find my concentrating power diverges. Calculus again??? Do I need to have the learning of Calculus over and over again. I supposed my concept of Calculus is either all forgotten or no effort is taken to remember/revise. I believed that even if I am to sleep at night, this moment will become my nightmare and keep haunting me. I do hope to forget but it creates an impact in my life when this is the first time which I nearly score a zero mark for my quiz. Hopefully, my working can earn me some marks to erase off my worse fears. Alright! Now is time to review on my other side of feelings...I am elated that my house is ready. This saturday and sunday, I will be giving my house a new look. Now is the time I can put in my effort to show others that I can have the experience in painting as well. Haha...Silly of me hor! This saturday, my hubby and I will be buying paints (maybe from nippon) then we will have to start our work. Getting chunks of newspapers and scotch or masking tapes to lay the floors ready for the painting job on sunday. It sounds easy but it is not an easy job at all. Then we will need to start off mending the cracks on the walls. And hopefully, we can finish early. We are considered lucky because we do not need to spend on hiring a contractor. My hubby has a gang of friends who will want to help us. Unfortunately, now most of his friends cannot make it or there is other reasons. Only one of his buddies is interested to help us. We are both glad and hope that we can work hard and finish before sun sets. That is our objective for the day. Now the headache comes for my assignment and lots more tutorial to be done. And even other projects as well. When can I really finished all? The deadline is coming near and I find myself more and more stress. Will I breakdown and be completely lost? Will I be able to survive this semester? Will I be able to pass all my math quizzes and tests? Why am I keep asking myself 'Will I'? Do I have severe low self esteem now? Do I have the uncertainity? Now all these questions become a routine question in my mind. Is this what my tutor called as metacognitive? Do I believe that I have the metacognitive skills? Or merely a junk thought? Whatsoever? I strived for the determination. Just as the phrase says, "Is now or never" which means if you don't work hard now, you may not be given the chance to work hard again. So the stress lies in the bond and the huge lump sum of money. What a headache again for reminding that? ||8:32 PM||

想知道你是什么花钱类型的人？你想测试吗？ This is my analysis after doing the ten questions.... 经测试，你的分数是29分。你花钱属于理智型的。你是很有金钱观念的人，花起钱来也有计划性。通常你的每一分钱都会花在最有用的地方，很少发生主动购买而事后又后悔的事情，但是该花钱的时候你也不会小气，另外你在理财储蓄方面也相当有一套，其实并没有人教你，素质几乎是天生的。 Signed off: Bubblygirl.... ||6:31 PM||

Wow, it is has an exciting 3 months for all screaming fans, relatives and families of the so-called super young stars of tomorrow. The contest is suppose to unearth raw singing diamonds but instead the friendship among all the contestants were revealed for all to see. Is a singing contract that important? Is competition that important? Is being famous overnight from a nobody so good? Only going thru the entire process would someone know... I was not a keen follower since Day 1 but from the quarter and semi finals, I have been watching with keen interest the singing, dressing, judging, crying, slamming and winking of all the contestants. It was hard work to practise and rehearse just for the show and audience. It improves one's character and builds confidence. I must say that with countless votings, the sms received should be enough to fill up everyone part of our island...it is nevertheless a competition that is in the eyes of every Singaporean who switch on the TV now... I wish the final 2 contestants well...and well sort of before they start. Hopefully friendship will prevail, no one should cry over who wins or who loses but rather we should all cheer for the winner and clap for the loser. It is a competition to see who will be the winner (Mediacorp?) Think again... :) NaLa Si EmAn Ym (crypted) ||1:13 PM||
