complaining mood

I am in a complaining mood right now.
I seriously regretted taking summer course. Haix. I know I just contradicted myself as the post before I said I like being busy. But now I really hate everything.

First, the Prof is boring
Second, the course is boring. Seriously "Managing Knowledge Governance in Southeast Asia" is not an important subject at all. and the Prof make it sound like its really important. yeah rite.
Third, my groupmates suck.

In this course we have 2 projects.
One is a partner project, 2 ppl, whr I am partnered w W.(Im using initial for this post)
Another is a team project, 4 ppl (me,W,T and R).

First thing first, I already dont like W very much. I hate people who touch other ppl like they are very close when they are not. And she giggled every 5 seconds. After I said stg she giggled, after she talked to herself she giggled and after she read NOTHING funny, she giggled. and evrytime we discuss stg and I told her my opinion, she would shake her head and giggled. like seriously, WTH??!

But obviiously when she asked so nicely whether I want to partner her, I couldnt say no rite??
so yeah...
But thats ok. because our partner project is done. whatever.

Now we have team project, I must say everybody is at fault that now we end up with rushing everything. It is due tomorrow, but we are only half way done. But why do we take so long to decide which proj to do??becos W didnt agree to anythg we said. In the end she did, but everybody made no initiative to do research.

Then last week, T said lets do a video. Like you all send me pics and do voice over. SO it will be like slide show with our voices inside. All agreed. Then now, after he realized it is a lot of work, he said "why isit that everything I do? This is becoming too dependent on me." Like helooooo u suggested it rmb??

Damn it. I should just go back to work and finish this stupid project.
I should not have taken summer course. Next year I will just work.

LEG shaking

I belong to a group of people who shake legs (one leg to be precise) for no apparent reason. While I do not feel this is a disturbance for me, but to people around me it is. I guess when you yourself do it, you dont feel the disturbance, but I do get annoyed too if other people do it.

Furthermore, my bf keeps telling me its very unladylike =x
which I agree. SO i went to google and try to find out the answer but to no avail.
Most of the links are just chat room where people gives their own opinions, which are not what I wanted.

The only link that is reliable would be this one:
http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/03/15/restless-leg-syndrome-shake-your-leg-or-legs-relentlessly-heres-what-it-may-be-and-what-to-do.htm

but it does not really answer my qn because it is addressing a differnt but similar action:

"Ten percent of Americans suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), an under-diagnosed neurological disorder that causes creepy-crawly, tingling, aching, burning sensations in the calves, thighs, feet and even arms. The only thing that seems to relieve these uncomfortable, yet sometimes indescribable, sensations is to shake the limb and move around.

RLS symptoms, which include "creepy-crawly," tingling, pulling or burning sensations in the legs, become worse when you're resting.

RLS is different from simply wanting to shake your leg a lot while sitting. In order to be officially diagnosed, you must have all of the following, says the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation:"

then address those please!

Periodic Limb Movements of Sleep (PLMS)

According to the Mayo Clinic, more than four out of five people with Restless Leg Syndrome also suffer from a related condition known as periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) (formerly called myoclonus).

People with PLMS involuntarily flex, extend and kick their legs while sleeping. Hundreds of these movements may occur during one night, which is why partners of those with RLS often have trouble sleeping as well.

What Causes Restless Leg Syndrome?

A person with RLS can easily keep their partner awake at night because of involuntary kicking of the legs -- which can happen hundreds of times a night.

The exact cause of primary RLS -- the most common type -- is unknown, but researchers suspect it may be related to an imbalance of the brain chemical dopamine, which sends out messages to control muscle movement.

RLS can run in families and occurs more often in women than men, says Malhotra. Stress may exacerbate symptoms.

The following simple methods, from the Mayo Clinic and Malhotra, can help to reduce RLS symptoms:

• Have good sleep hygiene. This means sleeping in a cool, quiet environment, going to sleep around the same time each night and getting up at the same time in the morning, and sleeping long enough to feel rested. Going to sleep later (and waking later) has helped some people with RLS as well.

• Try warm baths, stretching and massage. This can help to relax your leg muscles.

• Use hot and cold packs. When applied alternately, they may help to lessen the sensations in your legs.

• Relax with yoga or meditation before bed.

• Exercise. Regular, moderate-intensity exercise may relieve RLS symptoms, but overdoing it or working out too close to bedtime may worsen them.

• Try wearing long socks to bed.

• Avoid or cut back on alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. All of these can aggravate or trigger RLS symptoms.

• Eat a healthy diet.

• Stay alert in the evening. Being bored or drowsy before bedtime may make RLS symptoms worse.

I dunno whether the suggested methods work for us since it is not entirely similar, but I should give it a try and if you belong to the group u should too.

OH! if anyone found the real reason please tell me!

21st burffdayy

whhooo~~ i havent updated for quite a while >.< style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">my 2 angels! BEK and OLIV :DD

My maid was supposed to cook fried rice, but then we fired her, so...I was left with no choice but to reveal my true power!! hahhahha YEAHHHH I COOKED!! Believe it or not nobody fell sick till today XD

I was stress too at that time because I had to print tickets for my maid but my printer has no ink, whereby I am not going home at night and her flight is 10 am the next morning. Luckily, Bek saved me again by asking her friend to print. I owed u a lott my dear :D

We (Bek,Oliv, Casey and me) finally reached Downtown east which is at East Coast at 5plus. I was relieved seeing the room! It was way wayyy better than the Sentosa one.It was clean, with bedroom inside, and got 4 beds.Sentosa's one was cramped, decker kind of bed, dirty and looks unkept. I am so glad that I didnt choose Sentosa chalet eventhough it was tempting as we can just play at the beach.

People started to arrive around 8plus..There was Mama,Bel,Ame,Jason,Noel,Chester,Joce,Trudy,and then Shamir came for a surprise visit.lol.
These are all my CJC peers. if you are wondering why I do not invite any SMU people, its because I am not close to any of them. >.< I still cant cure my anti-social disorder.

I also invited my Indon friends, mostly those that stayed with me last time at Tiong Bahru. Ria,Frank,Dhephe, Han Han(Dp's brother), and Lia came. It was so nice to see each other again after years!!

My bf couldnt come though, as he was still in army. Stupid army, when I purposely postpone for him then suddenly said got camp. Haix. But anyway I still enjoyed myself.LOTS with a lot of camwhoring :D hahahaa.

One hilarious thing that Dp said when we all realized that Han Han and Bek's eyes are both very small was ,"If the two of them got together and married, their kids wont be able to open their eyes." LOLROFL!

And then around 12, people went home one by one. Those dat finally stayed are Ame,Jason,Trudy,Chester,Noel,and Joce. Ica and Bek wanted to stay too at first, but Ica needed to sleep while we were all still very noisy. (Sorry Bek and Ica :( )

My sis turned up with Amel at around 1.30 am, when everyone has gone home =.=
They came and talked for a while. BTW the credit for my cute,pretty bday cake goes to my sis as she really handmade it herself.. taste obviously not like bakery kind, but i was so touched by it! Love my sis lotsss.

Around 3 or 4am we all turned sleepy, and decided to sleep. Oh one thing, eventhough the beds were clean, the blankets were SMELLY LIKE SHIT and everyone did not dare to touch it., but in the morning as the aircon turned crazily cold, everybody was fighting for it. lol lol

and then at 5 plus, there were some group sitting outside our room, laughing their asses off. Joce stood up,open the door and shouted "EXCUSE ME, if you all do not realize they are bunch of people who are trying to sleep inside can you go and laugh somewhere??" (I dunno why she must say bunch of ppl.lol) and then when the group was saying sorry sorry, she SLAMED the door.HAHA

I think more or less we managed to catch some sleep, but my original plan to go wild wild wet failed :( so we went watch movie instead. STARTREK. lol. it was so not my kind of movie, but Trudy said the review was good, so we all agreed. I think it was okay la..just non sensical at times, like most films are.

Afterwards I went home, spent some time with Ica, bek and Oliv cos they stayed over at my house and waited for me to come home (like as though they are my husbands.lol) no la more like I made them wait XD im still the bday girl ma XD

Then we went to Orchard to accompany Oliv cut her bangs, ate fattening but heavenly desserts, and then I went to pick my bf up at Pasir Ris interchange :))

Overall, I am so happy that I ams do blessed to have such friends.My bday is just one day out of so many other days that GOD has so kindly bless me with. I am so thankful for the parents,family and friends I have and these memories, I will treasasure them forever :)

wonder MEN

watch this peeps! its hilarious! hahahha..for people who dunno what they are doing, basically they are immitating the real singers (the video of the girls is shown at the bottom of the screen). The real singers are called WONDER GIRLS.

I think they imitate really well! Altough the dress was lil bit too short..i can even see their panties >.<

But still..watch it for fun! hahaha :D

hana yori vs boys before flowers vs meteor garden

ok i officially finished watching all 3 versions of F4.
HAHHAHAH

and my decision is, the best would be Meteor Garden (Taiwan)
followed by Hana Yori Dango (Japanese)
and lastly is Boys before flowers (Korean)

why?
cos eventho the korean one is the one with the most good looking guys,
their acting suck. and the two most important actor and actress DONT HAVE THE CHEMISTRY.
so it really sucks seeing them act.

but anw its a personal opinion. i know lotssss of ppl who will say the korean one is the best.
hahahahha.

vegetariannnnn

When I was 15/16 I promised myself by 20 years old I would be a vegetarian..
and today I am over 20 and still not :(

I really wannabe a vegetarian
why??
1. I love animals. cows are cute, pigs are gross but they are often pictured as cute and intelligent.
2. Vegetable can also give u all the vitamins that meat can give too!
3. (I thought) I can become skinnier

However, the third reason is not really valid, because some ppl are still fat eventhough they are vegetarian... I was talking to my Indian friend, he is a FULL VEGETARIAN. meaning he can only eat the non-living products of animals and vegetables. He cant even eat egg. But he's damn skinny!! Then when I said how come some vegetarian ppl are fat, and some are skinny, He replied It is just the same case for everyone, you eat more, you still get fat.

T.T
I should really really stop eating when I am not hungry.
and i might be becoming White vegetarian (this term I made it up myself) which means I can eat vegetables+ white meat (chicken and fish) BY the age of 30

With bird flu and mad cow disease and swine flu keep coming one after another, I think it would be a good idea to be vegetarian. But then again, some chemicals that are found in the vegetables can be very harmful too :(

Speaking of harmful chemicals, I am so happy seeing Thai farmers. Just now in class, the Prof showed us a video by the Thai govt, they are embarking on a project trying to stop the use of chemicals in farming, because it is harmful for both the farmers and the consumers. And the farmers gladly accept the idea, because they care about their consumers and the live of others (this is why I love Thais and Buddhists). They have very strong passion for humanity and all that. and they are very peaceful (even their riots are considered peaceful as compared to other countries' riots).

and I am not bluffing you on this one. Seeing my maternal grandma makes me feel so peaceful. She is a strong Buddhist, she goes to temple everyday, she meditates everyday and she does a lot of charity stuff. Like she gets happiness from doing all that. I really look up to her a lot.

I am not here to promotes Buddhism, cos I myself is Catholic. But I am just saying, if only people focus more on the positive sides of their religions, the world would become a much better place.

kids craze

OH OH!! I remember I need to write about kids too.
Ytd I watched 2 Tv shows that show couples with large number of kids, and when I say large I do mean LARGE

The first couple has 13 kids. Believe it or not (oh btw its not from Ripley believe it or not)
The wife has 6 children from the first marriage, and then she married the current husband and has 7 other kids which comprises of 3 SETS OF TWINSSSS and 1 girl.
And seriously looking at the twinss I WANTTTTT!!!!!!
They are so damn cutee!

And since my aunt( my mom's sister) has twins, I hope its really in our gene (like what Junkai's mom said) so I Might have gene to have twinss!!! YAYYYYY!
But on a different note, seriously I cannot put myself in the shoes of the mother. Goodness! 13 kids and lucky for her, the kids from the 1st marriage are somewhat grown up already so can help the smaller ones.

But the 2nd couple has 8 kids of which they are about the same age! That one is more headache I tell you, I think if so happens I give birth to 8 twins...I might just pass out >.<

Eventhough I really love children but I think these couples are MAD. the wife is like screaming around having no time to relax, whereas the husband also must work for more than 24/7 to earn enough money to feed the children. The family with 13 kids said that they spend US$2500 a month for the GROCERIES ONLY. or is it a week? o.O

The show with 8 kids is called Jon and Kate plus 8.
Btw they are having some problems too as the husband caught cheating on the wife. You can catch the show in Discovery Channel. I think.

happy vs sad

OMG! Im so freaking happy with my results!!
Its nothing fantastic.. but its wayyy better than I imagined! Except for one course, which is kinda dissapointing..
AND MY STATS!!!! which I almost FAIL during midterm, I got B+ in the end for final!!! yayayayayyaayy :D:D

Yesterday I sent my boyfriend back to camp already.. :(
His hair is like bald HAHAHHA
but he doesnt look as bad as I imagine it would be. lolololol
Then We (his mom, his aunt, his cousin(I chu) and his sister(Xu Hui) and ME) went to send him to Pasir Ris interchange.

Then after that we (without him) went for dinner, at Sushi Tei, I feel so bad eating with his mom la.
always feel like free-riding >.<
2 of his other cousins also joined us.
AND For the first time in 2 yrs, I actually TALKED a lot to his sister.
The reason why I usually dont talk to them is cause:
1. I always have Junkai to talk to
2. His sisters are dam young...well....ok..not that young, Jinru is in sec3. Xiuhui is in pri6
But I just dunno what to talk to them about..

however, cos Junkai was not there, I was forced to talk to everyone else. GOODNESS.
I could keep quiet also, but you know...It is just NOT ME >.<

On the way home too, when his mum is sending me home, I TALKED NON STOP!!
I dunno wads wrong with me!! I just kepp going on and on and on
so paisehhhh hiksss T.T

Next time I will try harder to zip my mouth =x

Suddenly I remember another point, have you ever wondered, if you are walking on the street and you happened to see a stranger looking very sad, you dont care.
BUT if the stranger happened to be smiling, you will say "whats wrong with this guy?is he mad or stg?"

Why isit that we seem to find that being happy is weird, while being sad is normal??
why?? think.. I dont have the answer also (credit to Eugene to introduce this thought)

Then while talking to Jani, I also came across another point. Why is it that only when we are sad we share our sadness to people..but when we are happy, we dont do that..
Like I ask Jani why isit only when we have problems w our gf/bf then we talked and ask our friends opinion..BUT when your bf/gf made u happy, you dont do the same..

For me, my main reason is because if I do dat when I am happy it will look like I am showing off. And I dont want to do that. So I take the happiness, I save it (in diary, in my brain) and then thats it. weird huh?
