Random Day!

Do you know I actually started using blogspot/blogger since 2005/2006? back then, I was in the secondary school library which is equipped with Desktops... and so, my junior introduced me to blogger! And I was a total noob as to designing and arranging the html... lol and my blogspot name was pretty screwed up lol

Gradually, photobucket, tagboard or chatbox came about which adds colour to the boring website of mine... And I learnt to design the blogs (yes, blogs, I handled my own blog, class blog, cca blog etc) it took me around a year to "master" html by just playing around in the <template> and deciphering the blog codes from one website specially for blogger.com 

I even went around helping people to design their own blogs lol thats funny...

I kept updating my personal blog from 2006 (when i was active) till hmm now? hhahah but I stopped designing blog till 2011/2012 when I found greater things in life

You may wonder, how come my earliest post was only in 2011 May?! That was because I started out Blogger, then I deleted that domain in 2009. And I used the wordpress for nearly a year or so... I even used livejournal too! But that was for a damn short period haha Also, using blogger, I kept changing my blog web name! for instance, you see etylin.blogspot.com right now! earlier, it was ilovelaine.blogspot, then other names which Ive forgotten. interesting only

Day 13- Three confessions of your choice

1. IM BELOW 50KG and thats fo real! Friends kept thinking that Im at least a 50kg pffff ok fine i look fat but seriously i was never over 50kg or even accurately 50kg for more than 3 times. Yes i confess that i did exceed that mark but thats when exams are round the corner and during december/january cos... 2 festive seasons ma! I have loads of body fats and light bones i guess... never really drink milk it sucks. i mean, milk sucks, which comes to the 2nd point.

2. milk. yes. I DETEST DRINKING MILK OR CHEESE. it has been with me from 2 years old? or maybe even earlier... surprisingly, my younger sister loves it like gem lol. Despite me not really liking milk, cos Im older now, I can at least tolerate that smell and to gulp down those chocolate flavoured HL or Marigold milk sllllooooowwwwwwllllyyyyyyy. And! I eat cheesecake. NOT THOSE PLAIN CHEESECAKE OR THOSE 100% CHEESECAKE i cant for goodness sake. I like those berries cheesecake.

3. I love to shit. but not diarrhoea.

What peak period is it now. My pocket's gonna burn a big big hole. Friends 21st birthdays! to be happy or sad. hahaha. anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yes, I know Im damn slow. This year gonna be an exciting year! After birthday parties and more celebrations, there comes the examination then internship and vacation plans. Followed by the anxious results released, then the maddening eCr session when many cursed and swore. Guess, university's schedule is much more preferred than the JC and Secondary school schedules. Perhaps, I those routined schedules ever since Primary school, that would be around... 12 years of routined timetable? so, coming 1.5 more years would be the flexible uni life schedule I get to enjoy till I graduate and finally got a seat in any industry. Aiming to work in the MNCs or stats board, then pursue my Masters at Japan, then settle down in the MOE sector as an Econs teacher :) That shall be it! Econs is really fun :) So cuteeee!!!

Got to apply for interns and plan for my 21st real soon!! cant wait for them! hhahahhahha am I mad or what?

life's simple pleasures

School has started for me. And tmr will be my day 2 in school for lesson. First day of school was fine, except the fact that it rained heavily early in the morning and sustained till even after we were released from class. Apparently, the rain rained like forever. Good enough, its not raining today so... today is a sunny happy day without anything on! I had POA on the first day, and I liked the lecturer, she'd made her lesson seem fun and insightful. To learn this subject not because its a pre-requisite in academics but as a knowledge of use in the future. This moral of the story that I got was the trigger point to many who have realised that a seeking mind is what important. Anyway, tmr's Managerial Econs lets hope it will be good :)

This week was fulfilling, glad, little sad and uhm, revitalize feeling for me. Because, Ive only just started school so I felt revitalize. Just like how my cells and brains will be influenced by books, knowledge again. Glad and sad because many guitar assignments are coming to a halt. And lesser income into my pocket. At this phase, Im going to learn to once again juggle with new things on hand that is, my school work, tuition and meetings and chingay. Ive said this a lot of times hahahha pardon me for being so... repetitive.

A few great achievements lately, oh well at least to me it really seemed to be great, students improved by 1 grade in Science. And, one math student scoring full marks! Sometimes, in the midst of teaching all these students I wonder what is their mindset in having a tuition. Their parents too, why do they want their kids to go for tuition. One simple answer, to improve. To improve is good, but whats the ultimate reason behind wanting their kid/themselves to improve? To compare with peers? To compare with fellow kiasu parents? Or do they really understand whats the purpose of education and whats the purpose of an exam? I said this, not because I think I fully comprehend the deeper meaning to the purposes of both. This serves as one reflecting point, to see if you are heading the wrong path (to being competitive etc), if you are beginning to have a warped mindset/idea on education.

Just a side note, sometimes i really do not understand my laptop for the weird behaviour, just like how i dont understand myself either. beforew i typed this particular paragraph my laptop suffered from a crash. and thank goodness for the google chrome, it actually kept my entry intact! and no, i didnt saved my entry nor did i published it yet. i thought i would have to retype the above long passages! so... banzai to google chrome! you're serving me great!

Day 22- How have you changed in the past 2 years?

2 years ago I was preparing to mug damn hard for A levels! Uhm, glad that Ive morphed into someone who's intelligent, hardworking, mature, responsible, sarcastic, lazier, more dependent and independent in some ways. Yup, thats about it. Sometimes, circumstances call for a change. We just have to.

Go go the lazy town

Have you ever caught the show/cartoon/kids channel's Lazy Town? hahah thats quite a funny show with villain and hero and the 'villagers'. Kinda miss it though.

Bought the Swensen's 20 for 40bucks worth on groupon. I think Ive mentioned this in my previous post or the previous previous post. hahha was actually thinking when I can go down with my family until today! Today had a chat with my instructor, lol okay okay Im always chatting, regarding me turning 20! Like a soon only. last 1 month? :/ prolly spent that day working and celebrating with my lovelies. Anyone wants to jio me out on that day? hehheh and just realise, yea... only JUST, forTEEN, fifTEEN, nighTEEN, twenTY. tsk. no more teen alr? Hate the hard truth though. I guess many think this way. hahahah we gonna die anyway. So... live your live to the fullest! its cliche, but uhm thats kinda true and practical?

Went Hillgrove today and passed by a ITE at the west. ITS NICE AND BEAUTIFUL AND ULTIMATE HOW UNIVERSITY/POLY SHOULD LOOK LIKE futuristic blue print kinda building. Thats encouraging people who are already doing badly to go ITE? Cos for me, I personally thought of the probability that I might just end up in a ITE after Olevels before the results was released. ya know, Im too stressed up. So... Ive picked one ideal ITE to pursue! Somewhere in the east. I think, opposite the expo. cos its pretty? at least prettier than any JCs? (other than RJ, and perhaps HCJC and ACJC) our Garment has lost it man... Shouldnt they just feed more to those doing good, and are going to do even better.

And I really really HAVE TO PRACTISE MY GUITAR!!!! urgh

One step at a time

A lot of things shooting through my mind now. Wait, Ill need collect my thoughts... Im so going to make fondant durian cake tmr! Or at least anyday near! hhaha Was thinking it through yesterday midnight on which cover should I use for durian cake, fondant? Cream cheese icing? durian cream icing? Actually, Durian cream icing will be more apt for this case, BUT it happens that I do not own a electric mixer. And without that, it will be hard for me to beat the whipping cream into 50% stiff or mousse-like state... sian 1/2. And thats when, investing in baking comes into place.

Once, my friend asked me, "why do you rather spend on baking than to spend on buying the food?!" I answered, "its the satisfaction."

Yeap, the baking final product might not turn out nice, or nicer than sold outside. And of course, at a higher cost. Now, Im somewhat shook by the reality-quake that baking as leisure aint cheap. No doubt, its much much much cheaper than golf or sailing. Rich man activities yea. Aye, whatever it is, shall bake tmr, and we shall see if Ill continue :)

Im in love with a few apparels sold online :/ arghhhh. One workdress for 17 and a Blazer for 26. Blazer will not be keeping me warm though, its the design thats cool :P

Its really hard to find a job nowadays. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bid shopping and splurging life goodbye. Think that Im mad, lazy, just doesnt want to go out with friends for dinner or movies lately. Homecooked food is the cheapest and warmest. And, movie is a waste of money. So are DVDs, CDs. Not to mention, Baking.

Elementary exam tmr! shudders*

Im loner. bye

notorious snow ball

回憶如困獸寂寞太久而漸漸溫柔

放開了拳頭反而更自由.

清唱你的情歌,

捨不得短短副歌心還熱著,也該告一段落.

還好我有,我下一首情歌.

生命宛如靜靜的,相擁的河,

永遠天長地久.

Felt horrible yesterday night and am still feeling horrible right now. The reality just slaps you in your face, telling you "hey! stop being such an arse and you are a grown up for goodness sake!". Im sure reality doesnt just slap me once. Multiple times at one go, imagine that. hah. by the way, i can say "Imagine" in taylor swift tone :) love the way she says that anyway. haha

what if, what if. Im saying what if... what if there comes one day when girls simply rant on their twitter or blogs about them yearning for their type of guys... Then, theres this guy flies to your window. yes, i used the word 'flies' like some superman/spiderman/girlsman. He will say "all that you need, is ME!" in a very describing tone that shouts, HIM! (ergh, thats so ris low.)

Girls, if you want a tall, hansum, muscular, good character, sensitive, responsible, respectful, faithful guy...

I tell you, you can just go configure one robot all in one. thks. THIS GUY DOES NOT EXIST. LIKE A PLEASE. Even if he exists, chances that you meet him is low, chances that you date him is even lower, chances that you 2 are married happily ever after are ULTIMATE IMPOSSIBLE. Thats cos, fairytales happily ever after, doesnt even stay valid in the first place!

Stupid, bimbotic girls are such a turnoff. and yes, sometimes, okay most of the times, i do act like one of them. hate me.

Cowardice

Its been few weeks past my examination. Almost. Almost a month. thinking back to where before I had my papers, I was so compassionate about continuing my guitar and perhaps going for guitar exams, to read up more gakkai books and most importantly the gakkai exams that is coming up next. and yes, baking and signing up for driving lessons.

All that I can say is, Im lazy. Lazy to find work, lazy to even go out, lazy to sign up for driving. How pathetic am I. Really.

Maybe, just maybe, Im not that pathetic because I had my baking 'wish' fulfilled. And money wasted. I wasnt even sure if "it is the process, not so much of the final product. If not, I could have bought the final product outside right. much cheaper and save the hussle." has become my excuse of baking lousy food, in my opinion. Even though, my family thought that those were fairly well done. you know, family. You couldnt be sure if they are comforting you or... But nonetheless, praises by them somehow liften up my spirits.

Anyway, I still have the rest of June, July, August to go for Yoga lessons, making a point to practise guitar. Found a friend to sign up for driving together! Good or what? haha Ill most prob continue to bake, just that my baking frequencies might not be as tight as previous tries. Really hoped that the recipes Ive provided, some experience and the photos do help people new in baking. Im a newbie anyway. hahah Ive search youtube videos, blog and website hopping just to find reliable recipes yea?

As for work, this is really a conflicting issue. Based on what I have now, for future prospect, I should be working part time in various departments to gain many experience and skills. Like jack of all traits. But now, it seemed that Im only going into one aspect, guitar. And becoming master of one. Just had this ominous feeling that, if I continue with my current job, it may not bring me far :( But, my current job pays me REALLY well and job hours are super good, super flexible. Didnt want to give this up for some 9-5 job, working in robot environment... To make things worse, I lacked the courage to go for trainings and job interviews. Seriously, elaine.

Thats about it. prolly the first time for me to rant so much about what ive been thinking through openly on blog ever since I started my uni. lol
