Question: Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to the city today with Syl and Amy. Watched "Step up". Movie plot was typical but Channing Tantum (or however you spell his sirname) is hawttt. Dancing was superb but plot was blah.
So frigging tired. Many interesting things happened in the city e.g. We saw an old man from China who asked us how to get to "huo (4) huo (4) si (4) ben (3)". We were struggling to understand him until we realised that he wanted to go to "Hawksburn".
My hols are almost over. *darn* Haven't done much. *double darn*.
I'm so irritated with a friend right now I could hit her. It may not be her fault but I still want to hit her.

mannn...I heard that Hady (the Malay guy) won Singapore Idol and I went to check his performance up on youtube and CRINGED...How can I say this nicely? He was really not very good. Singapore Idol is really nothing compared to Aussie Idol. He's not even as good as Taufik. Disappointing. But well, I guess it's not easy to sing Justin Timberlake songs. At least he's better than a certain cartoon cat.
At least not as disappointing as when Sylvester Sim got into the Top 2. Or Top 12. Or even got in at all for that matter.
They should make this season's Singapore Idol the last one so as to save us from further embarrassment.
It's hols this week!!! I am very happy *dances around with glee*. More bumming around and less studying!!! *cheers*

It's season of the Idols again.
For Australia, we are currently at the Top 10, unlike in Singapore, where I understand that the battle has already been shrunk down to the Top 2.
Australia has a great mix of talent this year, from Kelly Clarkson sound-alikes to U2 sound-alikes to Kasey Chamber sound-alikes to abstract-sounding-I-have-no-idea-who-sound-alikes...from boyband to rocker to queer (and I don't mean gay)...They are all excellent.
It's just sad though, that people who rely on their looks to get them to the top, actually manage to get to the top. They can sing, just that they can't sing as well as people who are less good-looking. But hey, that's the harsh, shallow reality of life isn't it? Looks get you everywhere, no matter how much we deny it. Well, almost everywhere. And then there are the girls. Some of them are gorgeous and can sing well and can't even make it to the top because a majority of the voting audience are screaming teenage girlies who'd rather spend that 55 cents on a hot dude who can't sing as well. I don't blame them - much as I'd hate to admit it, I've fallen into that category as well. I don't vote, but I have a soft spot for Dean, one of the contestants who can't sing as well (he can sing, just not as well as the others) but is the most gorgeous guy in the Top 12. Actually, who cares if he can sing or not?! I never listen to him sing because I'm always just too busy staring at his face!!
Meanwhile...anyone noticed that Singapore Idol's top 2 is a battle between 2 guys, 1 Malay and 1 Chinese again?!
Ahhh...the power of teenage girlies. My money's on the Malay guy, even though I've never heard him sing. He looks better.

Haven't really blogged properly in awhile...
Not sure what to say...been wanting to blog at random hours of the day but then when I actually got to sit down and do it, I couldn't remember what I wanted to say.
I have the mid-sem blues. Oh rather, end of sem blues. Time flies. It's already mid-September. I will be home in 2 months. I can't wait.
I have started procrastinating and pushing all my work to the last minute. I guess it's alright since I am a last-minute worker.
I have just finished a new Taiwanese drama series called "xing ping guo le yuan" (The Legend of Star Apple). Don't ask me why it's called such a weird name. The actors were Ming Dao, Li Yang, Yan Xing Shu and Wei Ru...the other 2 lead actresses are new so I don't know their names...but they're only like 16 years old loh...and they annoyed me by crying in like every episode. It was not as nice as "ai qing mo fa shi", but Ming Dao's acting has really improved by leaps and bounds. I was surprised by Li Yang too. He was pretty "mu tou" at the beginning, but he got better as the show went along. The plot is not fantastic and the girls annoy me by crying in almost every episode, but the show grows on you as it gets along. You have to be patient and ignore the first 8 episodes or so *lol*.
This show is even better than your average triangle affair. It's a square with lines in-between. There are 2 lead actors (Ming Dao and Li Yang) and 2 lead actresses in this show (A & B). Ming Dao likes A, but A likes Li Yang at first. B used to date Li Yang but she broke up with him because she wanted to get close to Ming Dao to take revenge on his father who ruined her family. Li Yang still loves B but he decides to date A to forget B. B still loves Li Yang but she denies it and falls in love with Ming Dao. A then falls in love with Ming Dao and leaves Li Yang. Li Yang and B end up together again and Ming Dao and A end up together which was predictable from the 1st episode. Confusing eh?
There were also many times in the show where people got knocked down by cars whilst trying to dash across the road to meet their loved ones. Hulo, that scene is getting old lah. Or else the girls will trip over something and the guys will catch them as they are falling and they gaze into each other's eyes for a second *rolls eyeballs*.
There are so many new Taiwanese dramas coming out at the moment that I may have trouble counting them using 2 hands. Which is just great since my exams are coming as well.
I've nearly finished reading "The purpose-driven life". I can't believe it's been nearly 40 days since I started. God never ceases to amaze me. Every night before I turn out the light (hey that rhymes), I pick it up and read what God has in store for me. And every night God answers my questions. Every single thought, question or doubt I have is answered by that book. Isn't that amazing?! It encompasses so many things that I have been questioning since awhile back. This book is really awesome. It's as if God was speaking to me directly. I recommend it to everyone - even unbelievers.
Will blog again soon about some other things. Got to sleep soon. Adios!

I can believe I'm blogging at the unearthly hour of 6am. And watching "The Fairly Oddparents" too. I never used to like it, but my siblings got me into it. Speaking of that, I love Dr. Drakken from Kim Possible! He's damn hilarious lah! I want the soft toy so badly but I can't find it!!!
I want a Patrick Starr (from Spongebob Squarepants) soft toy tooOOooo but I can't find that either!!!
Anyways...I can't sleep man...I tried so hard but even the drowsy medicine is not working. I keep waking up every 3 hours...*urgh*...This is the first time in a long time that I actually saw daybreak...and I already heard a few people go out...crazy...
No matter how much I rest and how much medicine I take, my sickness is still not getting better. I wish there was an injection I could take that could make everything go away in a few hours. I'm getting impatient. I'm such a baby when I'm sick because I feel so miserable. I refuse to leave my room too because it's frigging cold and with me wheezing with every step I take, I think I may die if I go out. *I can just imagine my mom now telling me not to be melodramatic.
Very good, there's Mandarin news on now and Spanish news on later. I saw my hot Spanish soccerboys on the Spanish sports news a few days ago!! *wheeeheee* I felt like I won lottery. *grinz*
Ok, since I can't sleep I guess I'll go do some reading...haven't done any work since I fell sick. Time and tide doesn't wait for the sick unfortunately. Can't wait for the hols.

"Ong Hui Yin...room 8 please..."
One advantage of having medical friends in my hostel is that I dun have to walk all the way to the doctor. I just had to pop by room 8 and Amy promptly stuck a thermometer into my mouth & a packet of cold tablets into my hand.
yesh...I am sick again. My once-a-year sickness is here. And I thought that I was superwoman. All those late nights, not wanting to drink water, refusing to do any exercise whatsoever besides shopping, eating all the heaty stuff etc...I should have known. I really deserved it.
But why of all times this time when all my assignments are due?!? @(!U(@!#$IUP!@I$!!!!
Being sick is really crap. You feel weak and giddy and don't have appetite cuz u can't frigging taste ur food. And then you cough like an ah pek and can't even sing to your favourite songs without coughing & wheezing in-between. :S
I was in bed for a grand total of 16 hours but I still couldn't beat Amy's record. *sniggers*
In the meantime being sick is not that bad after all. My friends have been really sweet despite their busy schedules. From donating & buying me medicine to buying me porridge, to cooking for me & sending the food to my door...to taking notes for me for classes I missed...to offering to send me to the doctor in their car when I said I refuse to walk and would rather die in bed...What did I do to deserve this love & attention? I really appreciate it. Thanks guys. :)

I can't believe that Steve Irwin is dead. He was struck by a stingray barb today and died. He was only 44 years old. I can't imagine what his wife and children are feeling now...It's just so scary. Life is so unpredictable. I don't even know why I'm shocked...I mean, people die in freak accidents everyday...and Steve Irwin constantly tempts fate with his love for dangerous animals...but I still can't believe it.

Starts with Goodbye (Carrie Underwood)
I was sitting on my doorstep,
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
But I knew I had to do it,
And he wouldn't understand,
So hard to see myself without him
I felt a piece of my heart break,
But when you're standing at a cross road
There's a choice you gotta make
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna bring me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye
I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet
Time, time heals,
The wounds that you feel,
Somehow, right now
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna bring me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye

When it comes to mid-sem every semester I always feel the same way. I wonder how I used to handle all the stress last time. It feels like the more times I go through it, the weaker I get. It's like this rock on the beach being beaten up by the waves. And everytime it gets hit, it slowly erodes away until finally, it becomes nothing at all.
Don't really know what's wrong. Sometimes I feel super happy and then the next minute I get all moody and upset with life.
I don't know how my parents did it. When I hear stories from older generations about the past and how hard their lives were, I think - the life I have now is nothing compared to the life that they used to have. All I have to do is study and I can't even do that.
I feel like giving up. But I know that I can't. And that feeling sucks.
