After many weekends of vexing..

My terrapin tank is ready! Yeah! Me moved them into thier new home about two weeks back. But had to take them out regualrly, because I still hadn't figured out how to do a staircase for them.

Thank God for the perfectly shaped driftwood (the only piece that size and shape at the shop). The Pins can now climb up to their resting ledge. =) I saw a smilar tank at the shop...$30! when I got mine at $10..heh..what a steal...

Anyway, all they now need is a little tidying up of the tank because some of the set up were just trials and not done proper.

Was happy when i came in this morning. They were perched on top of each other relaxing, plus me got the lib books. =) So they have adapted to thier new tank. Next step now is to make sure they eat, then eventually with some creativity, decor the tank a lil' so that it looks nice in the office.

I think the Pins give everyone a little entertainment at work. I guess, seeing two small fellas takes your mind off stuff...I hope the Pins won't be too cold, because they can't talk lor...

Humph , come to think of it, I should jsut give them a mini broom and mop --> they DIY cleaning! =P

First...

....dont' ask me why I'm awake at this insane hour...sheesh...later sure ahev trouble waking up..

just now ge talked about studying, and i realsied that i'm adversed to studying again. Hahaha...I never thought of myself as such. Always thought I'd go study some further somehow. Maybe it's been too long. Or just the pessimissm took over. Whatever happened to the joy of doing something different, amazement of discovery, realiseing new potentials, having only to worry about friends, relationships, projects, eating and sleeping...

Wait a min...that's provided you're doing it full time with a fairy god mother sponsoring all expenses! hahaha...

Having Blooie made a diff, his basics wiped out several things. Though many can argue that i can sell him anytime lah. But he definitely had a bite outta my potential savings.

So...being in "productive and please while you're balancing work-life- take part time courses to skill up- and have 3 kids if you can afford it" dear country called Singapore.......We can all do the above right..

True, it's defintely possible and have seen mothers with job, and commitments do it. With much tears actually. And let's be truly honest. Not top honours success all the time.

Apart from bearing the consequences...i just don't like studying...grrr..sniff, my studying joy ended when i was in Pri 3...Hahahaha...k lah, have to admit, i did like physics alot in sec 3 and 4. Aiyooo, the thought of having to deal with slackers in any team projects just make me shudder. Remember the caboodle of them in Uni!!!

=)

Now govt giving moolah to subsidise courses leh...esp for my case got good chance for decent courses. Haiz..so shoudl really think about it lor. All the above is flesh talking lah. Realistically, soon you throw a stone you hit a MBA holder. Already it's the case for degrees.

Mmm...can't imagine..3 days a week, 7.30pm to 10.30 pm in class, maybe saturday in class too. All other free days to do projects/ research. Using annual leave to take exams. Oh, and still need to study for exams...dui...gosh...probably need to retake modules if fail also right...ARGH....

Already met many who've put their part time studies on hold, coz not getting anywhere. Quick quick...where are those freaking sucess stories!!! hahaha...

you think too much lah...*slaps self*

Whoever reads this has rights to slap me awake. hahaha

go kway-zeee

hate my days now...

An up and down day again. How does one live this way. Each new day, i hope things can amd will change...and somehow without fail..well, it all fails.

The feelings of useless to the point of pointless and non-existence came by again. Dunno what's the point of me...I feel like an idiot.A pathetic snail.

One moment i feel as though i could do anything and in a split second i feel like a peanut.

I dont' feel like eating cause..well, what's the point of eating? Is there a need to? Why go home, why sleep, why play, why do anything. Why do things to lift your spirits at all, when ...well,....there's no good way to end that line..hah.

I've let myself down, i've let the world down. i've let myself down again. A simple way to put it is a useless piece of s**t.

I'm not sorry for myself...just fed up with myself.

Time to go to bed for the 'new day'...

I never heard of the govts slogan on CBF until recently, and I am extrememly amused.That they used CBF instead of productivity lor...goodness...so..erm..layman lor...hahaha...didn't someone reading the script pick it up!?!?

Reading articles online and laughing away upon learning that NASA's motto was CBF, in the early 1990's which led to the twin mars disasters of '99...and NASA's recognistion to scrap that stupid motto in 2000. Hahahaha...

Today i learned that blooie's cost price in teh market now is $82K to $97K, up from the prev $59K to 63K...kwah... and the used car market for those around blooie's age is almost hsi cost price too! it's like my car never depreciated..hahaha

Seems other drivers also experience blooie's heavy body roll on turns too...phew...

I alos just watched this clip of singapore in 1957 that left me =O it's so old...goodness...zero skyscrapers. And the way it portray the ang mohs...kekeke...and Singapore airport! marine parade was non existant lor...it took me a long while to recognise City hall mrt area..hahaha..becasue the only thing still there is the war memorial!

This channel is so interesting...got film of china in 1920s lor...these are really trasures and am glad they manage to digitalise it. The ones in teh 20s are like the charlie chaplin style...action then a balck screen with white words to narrate...coools...

10 caramel maccs...

Can it be only monday? Yes it can...

I just filed my taxes. There's this portion for life insurance and I can't seem to ding my documentation to support it. Haiz. so i left it blank lor, the premium ain't much lah.. like 5 to 10 caramel machiatos. But i made the effort since, some deduction is better than none. But gave up after searching the standard areas. Just wanted to get it over and done with.

Another day...another short night. So quickly it's 2am now...feeling tired, but can't sleep. Enjoyed watching an episode of a kdrama online while eating dinner earlier.Then had a couple of things to do...

Changes happening in the office...which i'm too tired to detail now..

Changes happening to me too, which i give the same ans as above...I should be changing lah, the fact i feel this way...

It would be nice...actually,..i dont' know what would be nice...it's just a good phrase to hear. Don't u think?

I'm now thinking of what to leave on while i go to sleep. Usually just a short 20 min video of frasier/ some familar comedy...so that the voices in the background can help me to zzz..it's quite soothing...it's the only way i've been able to sleep on nights. Weird how I don't need that for napping. Tho technically I'm tired now...ok..i really dont' make sense anymore. hahhaha..

Rant time is over...

time to go...new day has begun. start by zzzzing....

Move

Just spent 2 hours settling mum into her 3/7 day week apartment in Punggol. Drove her there with her barang, unpacked, set up the room, did some orientation, then drove home.=)

She's renting the place from a friend, and only need to cover the electricity. Basics for a hdb flat are there and it's fully furnished. Seems the friend let's relatives from m'sia stay there when they come visit.

Not too bad lah, lcd tv with dvd player, couch, all rooms have a bed, ironing board, washing needs, water boiler...This person likes the traditional feel and bought the old style kopitiam round table with four chairs for the living area. Bedroom floors were paquet, so it's comfy.

Just that the floor was real dusty so the major cleaning was there, plus set up the ironing board, toilet necessities, washed some stuff for use too.

So mum will be there for 3 days, weekly, coz it's nearer her school and she saves time travelling-- why do i have a feeling I have to drive her there every sunday. hmmm...

And the feeding dog probelm is still not solved lor...best...she told me about the move on Friday. (heard of the intent end of last year, but no confimration whether it'd materialise since it meant having to move and spending some moolah.)

Anyway, as i walked through the void deck, it reminded me so much of hostel. The dead quiet still air, with just crickets in a distance, and the prominent sounds are the shuffling of your flip flops and the rustle of plastic bags (in hall, you probably just came back from the super market or da baoed some supper from outside.)

Punggol like NTU -- ulu.....hahaha..
