I love Youtube man. It's got all my wan quan yu le video clips and all my Taiwanese shows that I miss whilst I'm in Aus. The only crap thing about it is that I have to wait for like an hour for my slow internet to buffer my 10min video clip. It's ok, since good things are worth waiting for...hurhur. I'm damn happy. :P

Kenny Sia put up a blogpost recently about being Malaysian. It's a quiz that you can take and see how un-Malaysian you are *hurhur*. Of cos I was kaypoh enough to take it...even though I'm not Malaysian...but I figured that Singaporeans and Malaysians are pretty similar what...and guess what...
Congratulations hui yin, you are 10% not Malaysian.
That means you're as Malaysian as...
Abdullah Badawi !
I'm 90% Malaysian lah!! Means I'm what? 10% Singaporean??? Anyway I cheated...cuz some of the answers were so obviously Malaysian and I wouldn't really have done them in real life...but I just clicked them anyways *lol*. Malaysia boleh!! Oh how appropriate...since it's their National Day soon.

It's 1:40am. I'm supposed to be doing my readings...Well I WAS doing my readings...Until I turned the computer on. Bad idea. With a few clicks of the mouse and even before my brain had the time to process my thoughts, my eyes already fell upon the next episode of "ai qing mo fa shi".
I should sue these people man. They not only take away my time from studying, they also waste my money (buying tissue paper) and trick me into believing that such things happen in real life when reality is really farrrr away from what I would like to believe in.
I always get so caught up in the whole drama thing. Sometimes I would love to just go into the tv and stay there forever. It looks like an ideal world for me. I wonder when it would ever end.
That's why people daydream isn't it?
Until the show ends and you get rudely yanked back to the ground.
My nose is stuffy and eyes are swollen from all the crying. Now how am I going to read, I can't even see properly. Damn you Taiwanese dramas.

I’m going to the Family court on Monday. I’m excited yet a little stressed. The placement I’m currently doing at Monash Legal Centre is nothing like the internships I did in Singapore. Over here I actually get to interview real clients and understand their problems, as if I was a real lawyer. Of course I can’t give legal advice but I mediate between the solicitor and the client so I get all the advice from the solicitor and just pass it down to the client as if I was the one giving the advice. It’s so nerve-wrecking sometimes because if you screw it up, the client is going to go back with the wrong advice. All of them are divorce cases, just whether it’s to do with property settlements or children. I feel so sorry for the kids.
Can’t believe I want to do this for the rest of my life. I like it though *lol*. And to think I only did this course cuz the exams are open book (since the secret is already out, I might as well confess. I have the memory of a goldfish)! My brother didn't know that and now he knows, I think he wants to do it too *lolz*. He wants to go to the UK to study (actually I think he just wants to play soccer) but I dun tink it's a good idea now especially cuz of the terrorists. I blame terrorism for not allowing me to fulfill my dream holiday in Europe so now we have to go to NZ instead. Pooeypooeypoopoo.
I can't believe they are lowering the standards for overseas law graduates in Singapore. This has got to be an answer to my prayer man. Apparently in the Straits Times yesterday there was a front page article of the declining number of lawyers in Singapore (there are only like 3000+) and that they need more. They are even going to add a law faculty to SMU lah. So now instead of 2nd class upper requirement (which is like 70% average lah), they have lowered it to 2nd class lower (big deal right - too little too late, some pple said). But on a 2nd class lower, you have to go through an interview and also work 3 years first before you can practice. aRgH. Whatever lah. Anyways I'm getting my PR in Aus after I graduate so I can just work here if Singapore doesn't want me, I don't mind anymore. If Singapore doesn't want me, I don't want her either. At least they value us in Aus. What do they think we are? We slog so hard for this frigging degree (it's really not easy loh - and I'm really feeling it this semester) and in the end we can't find a job. What's the point. But I guess it's still an improvement even if it's a small one. Baby steps. But I can only afford to wait till next year so hurry up.

I am blogging at the unearthly hour of 3:30am on a Monday morning. This is the result of procrastination. Once you start pushing your work to the last minute, they pile up and then KILL you. Why do I always do this to myself. I spent the whole weekend just trying to clear all my readings and it wasn't even enough. I will NEVER clear my readings. NEVER. When I finally manage to clear them, there are new readings the following week and it's just a repetative cycle. THAT SUCKS BIG TIME. THAT SUCKS YOU HEAR ME?! RARARARARGHGGHHGGH!!!!!

I can't believe Shu Yuan was on the same plane back from Taiwan to Singapore as all the Taiwanese stars. HOW SMALL A PROBABILITY IS THAT?! The same frickin plane!!! She saw Meng Zhe, Ren Fu, Energy and Rainie Yang! ARGH!!! My 5566!! But where was Shao Wei and Xie Zhi??? No idea. Apparently they are all going to Singapore for some event. Hmmm...wonder what's going on. And she said they were not friendly loh. Wanted to take pics with Ren Fu and Rainie but they said no. Wonder why. Ren Fu is usually quite friendly. Maybe it's just a facade they put on in front of the cameras.
mei yuan fen jiu shi zhe yang!!! But ok lah...I only wanted to see Shao Wei anyways.

40 days of purpose (The Purpose-driven Life by Rick Warren)
I heard that it was a good book so I purchased it. It only cost me $15 but I believe what I will gain from it is going to be priceless. When I started reading the 1st day, it took me a whole lot of willpower to stop and wait for the next day before going on. I'm only at my 2nd day, but I've already learnt that life isn't about me, it's about God. And that my life has no meaning and no purpose without God in it. I felt as if God was speaking to me because in that short 5 pages or so, I found the answers to some questions I've asked my whole life.
I can't wait to read what's in store for me today. This book is going to change my life.
On another note, I just want to say that I immesely dislike some people who take me for granted. I've got to stop allowing people to treat me like that. Over the week I realised that some people who are being bullied, pushed-over and abused are only like that because they allow it to happen. It's just like men act like assholes towards women because women allow them to. Can't stand it.
I've got so much work to do it's crazily unbelievable. I really wonder why I like to dig my own grave. I can't wait for the end of the year to come along so I can just go home and SLEEP.
On yet another happier note, Australia is playing Kuwait in their 1st soccer game next Wednesday and SBS is broadcasting it! Kick off at 7:30pm in Sydney!!!Whooooopeeee!!! So something to look fwd to next week.
I need a new memory. Mine's not working anymore (actually it never worked before). I forget every single blinking thing in a matter of seconds, it's not even funny. Maybe I have alzhiemers (or however u spell it). Dang.
¿Dónde es mi fútbol español caliente muchacho?

Singapore = home = where the heart really is
Happy 41st birthday Singapore!!!
For once I really, really wanted to be home to watch the parade. This is the 5th year in a row that I've missed it. Thanks to YouTube, I managed to watch Kaira Gong's "My Island Home" whilst tearing uncontrollably in the computer lab at uni (hope no one saw me). Singapore is my home. And she will always be, no matter what.
My Island Home (Kaira Gong Shi Jia)
This is my home
She's everything to me
Grace and beauty
In all that you see
My Island home
Wherever I may be
I never will forget her
Nor will she forget me
Chorus:
And I will sing a song of hope
A land of peace
Where dreams are born everyday
My home wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me
My Island home
Home of my family
This is my future
Where I want to be
(Chorus X3)

I'm quite a touchy feely person when I feel comfortable with people (females and males alike). That's just me. I like to lock arms with my friends or put my arm around their shoulders occasionally. Sometimes I smack their arms when they say something silly. I just hope some people don't misunderstand my actions.

I blame Cheryl for this. I wasn't going to watch 183 Club's latest Taiwanese drama, "ai qing mo fa shi", but she lent it to me. And now I'm hooked. Again.
It's an almost exact replica of their previous drama, "wang zi bian qing wa", with almost the exact same cast as well, so if you didn't like the first one, chances are you'd probably not like the second one. I think both are so-so. I only started watching it because Shao Wei is one of the leads again. And he is damn frigging cute with his new haircut and dimply smile *swoons*.
In all typical Taiwanese dramas, there are 2 lead actors (who are usually good lookers) and 1 lead actress (who is usually extremely noisy). The 2 lead actors will always be good friends and the lead actress will always be wedged in-between the 2 friends (with some luck, the 2 friends fall out with each other whilst fighting for the girl). She always falls in love with the 2nd lead first because she is always at logger-heads with the first lead and hates him to kingdom come. However she always ends up with the first lead in the end because they reconcile their differences and create sparks amidst all their fighting (surprise surprise). On top of that, there will always be loser lackey friends just hanging around to add to the drama. Then whole drama has a happy ending. Sounds familiar already? This drama is no different.
The previous one was about a hotel. This one is about hairdressing. Ming Dao is the lead actor and Shao Wei is the 2nd lead again (damnit when will Shao Wei be the lead!?!). And of course the rest of the 183 Club members play the puney lackeys as usual. Then there is Qiao Qiao (Song Zi Qiao) who is the solo lead actress - She hates Ming Dao and vice versa but then gets wedged in-between them. She falls in love with Shao Wei at first but ends up with Ming Dao (surprise surprise). I've only gotten as far as 4 episodes, but there are already many exciting things happening. Another thing about typical Taiwanese dramas are, they love to make things happen quickly at the beginning and then drag it out for the next 20 episodes.
Despite it being a typical Taiwanese drama, 183 Club's 2nd effort is a slight improvement from its predesessor. For one, Ming Dao and Shao Wei's acting was superb. I noticed every small detail right to the last smirk, glance, smile and movement. Ming Dao's acting now is much better than his blockhead performance in "wang zi bian qing wa". Moreover, the plot is wayyy more exciting than in the 1st show (and I'm only at the 4th epi!). I'm not too crazy about Qiao Qiao, because she annoyed the heck out of me in "zi jin zi dian". I much prefer the other half of the Sweety duo, Yan Yan (Liu Ping Yan), who acted opposite Xie Zhi in "xi jie shao nian" and "ge dou tian wang". Moreover, Qiao Qiao's facial expressions are extremely exaggerated. But whatever it is, both girls are extremely talented and intelligent. Despite being only 18, they manage to juggle their studies, sing, host, do advertisements, go on interviews and act at the same time. They can cry on demand even as they are reading something funny. *Thumbs up*
Both soundtracks are not bad. 183 Club can really sing. There is one song I really like in the "ai qing mo fa shi" OST, which is "gan qing xian" by them. It's damn sad man. I really like "mi gong" by qi duo hua too. They are improving. The rest are pretty happy songs haha.
I know what you all are thinking. 183 Club so gross also can watch. Do not judge a book by its cover, some of these people have real talent.

I feel like deferring this semester at the moment. It's only week 3 and already I can't cope with the immense load of readings that are being piled on me. I can't even bear to drag myself up in the mornings and brave the freezing cold to walk to class only to sit through hours of boring lecturers drone on and on about things I don't give a rat's ass about. I've got an assignment to hand in next Monday that I don't think I'll be touching until Sunday. I skipped all my tutorials because I didn't know how to do the questions because I couldn't finish the readings. My placement is starting in 2 days but I haven't read up on it yet. I hate 3.5 units out of 4.5 that I'm taking this semester and the only unit I like had their legislation reformed and now every textbook is officially out of date so I can't do the readings even if I wanted to. I can soOo see myself failing everything at the end of the year. And then me, biting off more than I can chew, went and signed up for Spanish classes so now I have to spend an extra 2 hrs a week in class which I could actually use to study. To top it all off, time is flying like bird shit. Good luck to me eh. This is by farrr the shittest semester I've had. I'm pissed.
I just read the news today and it just so happens that all Dell laptops are suddenly bursting into flames for no reason. I just hope that doesn't happen to mine *cross fingers*. My trusty one has been by my side for 4 years, it better not die on me now - it has sentimental value ok. I think I better get a new one at the end of the year just to be safe.
Cheers people. As long as this week is over, next week should be much better. Notice I said "should".
