今天已經是星期五了。 轉眼間﹐ 一個星期的假期就這樣的過了。 現在﹐ 有多點時間留給自己﹐ 生活也變得簡單了許多。當然一開始有點不習慣﹐ 也會想念以前的生活。 慢慢的﹐也習慣了。
前些時候﹐ 我有提到優頻道的尋星活動在招聘博客來為這個節目增加一些些的看頭。 我也呈交了我的申請﹐可是至今﹐ 一點消息都沒有。 還滿讓人沮喪的。 我再一次的閱讀了申請的條件後﹐搞了半天﹐ 原來他們只在-找一個人而已。 之前﹐我還以為是在找好多好多位呢! 既然只選一個人﹐恐怕我的機會也減少了許多。 悲哀啊! 到底還有沒機會啊!! 等待的心情總是辛苦的。 好啦﹐我就等下去吧。
對了﹐我要推荐來之台灣的"黑澀會妹妹" !! 她們真的是超卡娃依呢 !! 去搜搜看吧﹐一定能找到很多關於她們的資料。

U Better go watch before it ends on 30th Sept !!!
Well, yes, i am talking about the production, Forbidden City : Portrait of an Empress !!
It is really a good one, good lighting, great music, wonderful performance by all the actors and actresses, especially Kit Chan !! She is the BEST !! At one more of time, her singing really gave me goosebumps... of course, it was because her singing touches my heart. I could feel the pain of the "Empress Dowager". Haiz... yes, it was a sad story. A sad one about the Empress Cixi. If you know anything or have heard things about her, you might have the impression that she killed her son in order to secure the No.1 position. In this production, it says otherwise, i have yet to find out more about it, but i will. Definitely will find out more about the history for this.
Hmmm... and surprise surprise surprise, Andy Joshua Lim was one of the ensemble !! He, of course i remembered, was the person who choreographed the dance for Mr Spore. Hmmm... and i wonder who that special friend he mentioned in the programme booklet... hmm hmm hmm... Well, Mr International is round the corner. And yeah, people, please do give ya support to Mr Spore !! Wish him all the best !!
Well, the show really brought me out of this world. When the show ended, applauses was unstoppable. Everyone clapped and clapped. In short, the performers really deserved our applauses. They have been perfoming since early this month and will continue to perform till end of the month, not easy leh. Plus, they have really really put up a great show. Especially Kit !! Glad that she is doing something that she enjoys. How i wish i can do things that i like. Well, with more time for myself now, i think i could. hee hee...

Today's the day !!
Woo, today's the day for FORBIDDEN CITY !!
Have been looking forward to this day for quite some time, Wooo !! Can't wait to listen to Kit Chan sing. It was reported that last wednesday, Kit didn't perform and instead, somebody else stood in for her. Of course, this made those who went there to support kit angry. According to the organisers, it was because Kit wasn't feeling good and hence they got the substitute in to perform instead. Hopefully for today's performance, Kit will be there, after all, that is the main reason why i bought the ticket. Not Cheap leh !!
Just now went to work, as the floor trainer for EnergyOne Tampines. Well, it is kind of slack coz just need to collect the card, issue a locker key and 2 towels and just ensure that nothing goes wrong. Hmmm, think will be napping for a while, then later meet SY for the show. Wait for my review on the musical bah !!

Hmmm... YES or NO ?
Singapore is suppose to be a country with good economic growth. But still, there is a line dividing the rich and the poor. Of course this is something commonly found in all countries, but i really find it hard to believe that there are really poor people in Singapore. I have heard of a man who can only afford to buy Mac for his 2 sons once in a blue moon. And that is just one McChicken burger shared by his 2 sons (who are in the primary school.) The point is, they are so poor that the McChicken is a luxury item for them.
My family is not rich. I am not rich. We are just okay, got enough to spend, got a house to stay in. Life is still pretty alright and comfortable. And a McChicken is definitely a common food item that i buy as something to munch on here and then. Hence, i was rather shocked when i heard the story. Other than him, there are also many "tissue sellers" who can stand at the entrance of the MRT stations all day. They can be "ah ma" or aunties who brought their daughters along. I really feel sorry for them. Especially the "ah ma", coz they remind me of my grandma, i would never hope to see my grandma doing that at her age. So, i bought once, the tissues, from one "ah ma". But i didn't buy from the auntie and her daughter, coz she looked fine to me. She's not disabled, and she could easily get herself a job, even as a cashier at McDonald. Maybe she has her reasons but i still think she shouldn't play around with people's emotion.
So, should i continue to donate money to the next "tissue seller" that i see?

Quiz X 4 + 1 drawing assignment = STRESS
This week was a tough one.
Quiz X 4 + 1 drawing assignment = STRESS.
Stress indeed. Tried to study but i guess i can do better as the quizzes weren't that diffcult just that i have only put in 60% to mug. Got to try harder the next time.
Then, there is the chaos in Taiwan and the latest, Thailand. I am neither a taiwanese nor thai but as a curious person, i can't help but to find out more about the happenings. To me, both countries are going thru a "messy" period which will go into their history. So, what the people and leaders do now will definitely mark the directions their countries will proceed.
In Taiwan, President Chen Shu Bian is accused of allegations implicating himself and his family. His son-in-law, Chao Chien-ming, was detained and indicted on suspicion of insider trading and taking bribes. His wife Wu Shu-chen is also under investigation for allegedly accepting department store gift certificates in exchange for lobbying efforts. And the people are definitely not happy with them. While there are people who wanted him down, there are also people who supported Chen. The former in red and the latter in green. It was rather peaceful from the first day of the anti-Chen campaign. But there was a twist on 16th Sept when the greens occupied the space that the reds occupied to show their support. (they had to get permits to hold their rally, the reds from 9th Sept - 15th Sept and the greens from 16th - 20th.) More and more violences are being reported with people from both sides beaten up. It is definitely not peaceful.
In Thailand, its military seized power from Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a bloodless late-night coup, imposing martial law. Coup leader General Sonthi Boonyaratglin said the military had seized power in order to unite the nation. From what i know, the Thai's politics have been rather dramatic the past few months. From Thaksin being pulled down and return to position and to the discovery of bombs near his home, i guess a plot like this was in progress. Not very clear of the situations at Thailand but i heard that things were still normal for the thai people. Especially since such a military coup happened some years back.
In comparision, me being stressed out by the quizzes + 1 drawing assignment is nothing. Hopefully, like what beauty pageant constestants will say," i really wish to see world peace !" i hope to see that soon.

What a day !?! 2 presentations ...
There was 2 presentations today. Not that they are important, but because a presentation is still a presentation after all. So preparation and efforts were still required and i am totally exhausted from the 2 of them...
Luckily tml is thursday !! Yeah !! Free day !! Can relax at one corner... =)
Yesterday, i gave my Ma and Pa tickets to "Snakes on a Plane". I got them for free, from where, hmmm i can't remember. It has been quite a while since the 2 of them stepped into the theatres. So, i was kind of worried that they might go to the wrong place. I rushed back from sch back to tampines just to check on them. Sounds a bit werid but i felt the roles was exchanged - is like them sending me to sch and watching me go. Strange...
Andrew today mentioned that our generation is the MTV generation. We can accept things pretty fast. Unlike our parents, they are less receptive to the new technologies and stuffs. But seriously i do hope to hear Ma and Pa to adapt well to the changes that will take place now and then.
Get out of the comfort zone i would say !! And that includes myself as well.
*don't really understand what i am writing coz i am just too tired ... Zzz...zzzz...zzz...

Final Decision = IO
Yeah, and that is my final decision. Wooo, is really an internal struggle, a tough decision to made. Thanks to those who advised me and to Ms Chia from OPA who helped me - although it is part of her job to do so, i am still grateful for her help.
Woo, bought the tickets for Forbidden City, 26th Sept 8pm show. Usual price was $110, but because we are students (Yeah!!!) there was a 25% discount !! Cool !! But then, it is still kind of ex. I really do hope that the show will be a good one. Now left with not much $$, sianz... Got to look for jobs !!

IA Vs IO
IA refers to Industrial Attachment and IO refers to Industrial Orientation. And NTU students got to choose either one of these programs in their 3rd year. IA is 20 weeks, so the thing that one will learn will definitely beats IO which is just 10 weeks. There is pros and cons to both IA and IO. Sia lah.
As my grades last sem was real bad, i was actually thinking of going for IO, so that i will have one sem to catch up my studies and do my IO during the May-July holiday. But seriously, i really want to go for IA which will be a good experience for me to decide whether i will stay in the CEE industry or not. So, it was really tough making the decision. Arghh, yesterday i went down to the Office of Professional Attachment, and even after talking to the officers there, i still cannot make my decision. They were kind enough to let me have one more day to think about it. At this point of time, i have already made my decision, but still not very sure about it. Haiz...

Goodbye Crocs Hunter ...
Strung by a stringray, the famous crocodile hunter was poisoned to death. U will always be remembered for all the things you have done to educate the public about the reptiles. U have been really great.
Rest In Peace
Have always watched his shows on Discovery channel. I was always amazed by the things he did especially when he put his head into the crocs mouth like it was nothing. He was really knowledgeable. My idol when i was young. And if you have not realised what the rest has done, put a turtle (tu) @ your msn nick to remember Steve Irwin.

Surprise, surprise, surprise...
http://www.axn-asia.com/buzzsites/the_amazing_race_asia/2006/08/31/mouse-hunt.html
Woo... Surprise, surprise surprise... My blog got featured on Axn-Asia... Cool !!! hahah...
I guess it all started from last week's Amazing Race Asia roadshow @ Suntec city. Well, we got the 11th position, but having my blog featured on Axn now sure beats winning the first prize... but still i would really really really want to have the nokia Nseries phones...
Well, if you noticed, i made some changes to the "friends" and "links" sections. They are now with pictures !! And they looked darn nice loh !! Took some time to create them, but the effort is worth it. Definitely !!
And, if you haven't figure out what you can do with the hamster on my blog, i will tell you now. It's name is kido by the way, @ the bottom right corner, there's a logo with "more" on it, click it. Then u will see a strawberry coming out, click the strawberry and you can feed Kido with it !! Yes, if you drag it nearer to the circular structure at the back, Kido will actually run on it.
Have been trying to mug, and yes, i did. Year 3 already, cannot play play... time to get more serious... [Said with a serious face!!]
Last night, there was a SRJC class gathering @ Andrew's Steamboat house. Those who went : Charmaine, Sabrina, Nelly, Huixin, Jessie, Pearly, Serene, Adelene, Pamala, Sliva, Lifeng, Seeyew, Edwin, Bernard and of course, myself. Last minute fly plane... weihan and zhongyi... pang seh !! Nevertheless, we enioyed ourselves lah... long time no see mah. It sure is a good feeling to see everybody again after all these years. Missed the 1S18 and 2S16 days... YEAH!!

What a weekend !
AXN Amazing Race Asia Edition's promotional tour was in Spore on Saturday !! And YEAH, i went down to Suntec for it... is a cool event, many goodies to win back even if you just join the mini games. But of course, the main thing is to join the main competition for the day. The qualifying round just require one person to piggy back his/her partner blindfolded across a short 10m with mousetraps spread across the lanes. Shortest time to reach the other end and the least number of mousetraps stepped will have a higher chances to get into the top 10.
Here i am, taking a pic with Yee Ling... In total, we tried 3 times. Not very kiasu lah... coz there are teams who tried at least 8 times. Haha... So after we felt that we had tried enough, we went for a walk. Hoping to receive the call from the organisers... And indeed, after some time, they called. We got into the top 10 !! YEAH !! And, i was excited because, the winners get to bring back Nokia Nseries phones, round trip to Bangokok and other AxN stuffs. We happliy rushed back to the centre stage where we went thrown with a Bad news... : " Sorry guys, we made a mistake, you guys are team 11th !! "
Sad, we were. Disappointment, we were. Is like taking a ride on a rollercoster... woooooooo... we then slowly dragged our feets... and went to the food court... coz eating can destress...
Then after the late lunch, nothing much to do - since we had forked out the afternoon for it... Sianz... so we just go walk walk around. We even met Daphne Khoo, she looks better in person !! Cuter also... Hahaz...
Then, this morning got AHM !! Army Half Marathon 2006, 21.1km in a new route. Took 2 hrs 05sec to complete. The route was quite nice but as it stretched into the city areas, some of the roads were not block off, so we were stopped to allow cars to move on first. This, can be improved.
This photo was taken to prove to Roy that, Milo was given out free !! He insisted that there won't be free Milo, but there really is !! Haha... I even had 10 cups... Niceeeeeee...

Fart... what a day...
Haiz... something embarassing happened today...
"P.U.! What's that smell? How can your body make something so stinky?
Farts - also called flatus (say: flay-tus) or intestinal (say: in-tes-tuh-null) gas - are made of, well, gas!
When you eat, you don't swallow just your food. You also swallow air, which contains gases like nitrogen (say: ny-truh-jen) and oxygen (say: ahk-sih-jen). Small amounts of these gases travel through your digestive system as you digest your food. Other gases like hydrogen (say: hy-droh-jen), carbon dioxide (say: kar-bon dy-ahk-side, the gas that makes soda fizzy), and methane (say: meth-ain) are made when food is broken down in the large intestine. All of these gases in the digestive system have to escape somehow, so they come out as farts!"
Today was a xiong day. With lessons from 8.30am to 5.30am... darm tiring... but then, i am happy to say that... i have gone for all the lessons !! Not that the lessons went on continuously... there were 2 hours of break... so, is quite alright lah !! Yeah !! Proud of myself... ha ha...
Anyway, as i was saying, there were 2 hours of break. 1st hour i was lucky to have Tianhe to lunch with me... then the 2nd hour, i went to Wee Nam to nap. (Now no hall liao mah... ) I went to level 4 where they have the individual study desks. So i found an empty one and sat down. Within minutes, i felt asleep... after some time... i was like kind of semi-unconscious... my eyes opened a bit... then my stomach felt a bit weird... then suddenly i hear a loud "Booooo..."
Yes, it was me. It was then did i realise what i did was rather loud and rude... so i pretended i was still sleeping... trying to think of ways to get away... i was struggling within myself... is like so malu... i slowly sit up... turned to my left... oh gosh.. there was somebody... i had hoped that there wasn't anybody... but darm... i realised he was looking at me... then i turned to the right... Heng ah... there wasn't anybody... but there were more people behind me... hopefully they didn't hear the "boo"
On the count of 3, i stood up and left without looking back. Sia lah...
The other time when i was at Bangkok, during the thai massage... i also accidentally farted. Darm... So malu... but that one was a soft one... but because there was only me and the lady(who was massaging me...) it was quite obvious to her. She giggled. and i pretended sleeping again.
Sooooooo Paisei...
Anyway, today was really a good day. Coz 3 good things happened to me. Yeah !!! They were the things said by people to me which is more valuable than money... (though i really hope to have more of money also...)

"P.U.! What's that smell? How can your body make something so stinky?
Farts - also called flatus (say: flay-tus) or intestinal (say: in-tes-tuh-null) gas - are made of, well, gas!
When you eat, you don't swallow just your food. You also swallow air, which contains gases like nitrogen (say: ny-truh-jen) and oxygen (say: ahk-sih-jen). Small amounts of these gases travel through your digestive system as you digest your food. Other gases like hydrogen (say: hy-droh-jen), carbon dioxide (say: kar-bon dy-ahk-side, the gas that makes soda fizzy), and methane (say: meth-ain) are made when food is broken down in the large intestine. All of these gases in the digestive system have to escape somehow, so they come out as farts!"
Today was a xiong day. With lessons from 8.30am to 5.30am... darm tiring... but then, i am happy to say that... i have gone for all the lessons !! Not that the lessons went on continuously... there were 2 hours of break... so, is quite alright lah !! Yeah !! Proud of myself... ha ha...
Anyway, as i was saying, there were 2 hours of break. 1st hour i was lucky to have Tianhe to lunch with me... then the 2nd hour, i went to Wee Nam to nap. (Now no hall liao mah... ) I went to level 4 where they have the individual study desks. So i found an empty one and sat down. Within minutes, i felt asleep... after some time... i was like kind of semi-unconscious... my eyes opened a bit... then my stomach felt a bit weird... then suddenly i hear a loud "Booooo..."
Yes, it was me. It was then did i realise what i did was rather loud and rude... so i pretended i was still sleeping... trying to think of ways to get away... i was struggling within myself... is like so malu... i slowly sit up... turned to my left... oh gosh.. there was somebody... i had hoped that there wasn't anybody... but darm... i realised he was looking at me... then i turned to the right... Heng ah... there wasn't anybody... but there were more people behind me... hopefully they didn't hear the "boo"
On the count of 3, i stood up and left without looking back. Sia lah...
The other time when i was at Bangkok, during the thai massage... i also accidentally farted. Darm... So malu... but that one was a soft one... but because there was only me and the lady(who was massaging me...) it was quite obvious to her. She giggled. and i pretended sleeping again.
Sooooooo Paisei...
Anyway, today was really a good day. Coz 3 good things happened to me. Yeah !!! They were the things said by people to me which is more valuable than money... (though i really hope to have more of money also...)

Then also, Happy birthday to my Uncle !! Get a wife soon !!

青藏高原自游行 赶圆一场青藏列车梦
取自: http://travel.zaobao.com/pages3/china060807.html
云谷涵
7月14日的傍晚，我在青海省西宁站登上了由兰州发车的K917次快车(不是旅行社宣传的舒适豪华列车哦)，并于晚上8时07分，在夏日迟坠的金乌余晖中缓缓滑行离站，开始了约2000多公里的青藏铁路之旅，预计隔天夜晚10时30分可抵达终点站——日光城拉萨。这将会是怎样的一段旅程与经历呢？
之一： 昆仑山第一道亮丽风景
经过一夜的辗转难眠，列车在格尔木站略作靠站后，继续往高海拔处攀盘前进，过了南山口便进入昆仑山脉领域。它是喜马拉雅山的造山运动间形成的一支山脉，连绵2500公里，平均海拔约6000米。其中一段海拔约4700余米，是著名的昆仑山口，也正是青藏公路和青藏铁路必经的一道天门。这里山势高，空气稀薄，但景色美丽，雪峰兀立，可遥遥望见玉珠峰上终年不化的皑皑白雪风采。据说，炎夏的昆仑山也能看到六月飞雪的奇观。
昆仑山可说是中国的“万山之祖”，传说中西王母的瑶池仙境就在此，《山海经》也说它是“百神所在”地，更为它添上几分神话色彩。而我所联想到的却是武侠世界中的昆仑派逐鹿中原武林的剧情。无论你有怎样的遐想，不争的是列车窗外的昆仑风光确实是青藏铁路线上教人惊艳的景观；瞧，皑皑的雪山草原突然映现在窗外，把之前经过的一大片平淡景色替换下来，让原本对沿线风景失望的心情重新缀亮起来。随后抵达拉萨，我马上就给香港同事发个短讯：列车沿线风景，个人认为昆仑山的那段最佳！这也许有些主观，但整个青藏铁路之旅的过程就像恋情，昆仑山宛如初恋时惊艳的邂逅心情，那终究还是最能烙印在心版，虽然接下来的风光也许有更好的视觉美感，但毕竟已少了第一次的震撼，不是吗？
青藏高原是亚洲中部的高原地区。它是世界最高的高原，平均海拔高度4500米，有“世界屋脊”和“第三极”之称。
到了唐古拉
死神把手拉
之二： 藏羚羊以外的可可西里
可可西里是美丽的，也是悲伤的。
美丽的是在这片无人区里，有着长江的正源，有着种类繁多的野生动物、湖泊、高原、蓝天白云。而悲伤的却是这里曾躺着藏羚羊守护者被杀害的长眠幽魂，还有叫人怯步的恶劣气候。
我见到藏羚羊或野驴之类的野生动物，但距离实在是太远了，且是零星出现，所以想在旅客惊叫声中寻找藏羚羊的踪影时，列车已呼啸而过。
之三： 唐古拉考验游客的极限
穿越唐古拉山是青藏铁路另一项叫人期盼的考验。这里是青海与西藏两省的天然分界线，也是长江和怒江的分水岭，过了这一关，也意味着通过了青藏铁路的抗高压考验吧？但不知是否受了之前记者的报道影响，当听到广播宣告列车正驶向前方的唐古拉山脉时，我莫名紧张了起来，担心需要吸氧来减轻5072米高海拔所带来的不适，真所谓“到了唐古拉，死神把手拉；抬臂能摘云，伸手把天抓”，唐古拉山的“特殊环境条件”对人类的极限挑战由此可想而知。
我一边饱览窗外的自然风光，也一边注视着列车信息牌上滚动的海拔指数变化，当屏幕上终于闪现ALTITUDE 5081M的字幕时，心里五味杂陈，也唯有身历其境方能意会。
之四： 余韵
当列车平平稳稳地翻越唐古拉山，基本上已算是入了藏区，开始有了人烟，旅客激奋的心情也渐渐平抚了下来。从安多到那曲之间有个美丽的高原淡水湖——错那湖。辽阔的湖面泛着亮晶晶的蓝光，净得那么透彻，滚动在其边缘的是低得仿佛随时会坠落的丰厚云彩，倒影成趣，美得醉人，可惜由于列车的速度、车内拍摄空间、火车的玻璃污渍及逆光等限制，一般的旅客是很难准确地用手上的摄像器材来捕捉这些如诗如画的迷人景致。到了著名的羌塘草原时碰上下雨，再度错过了绿茵似锦，风吹草低见牛羊的田野风光。也许就是因为每段旅程都存在着遗憾，所以才更能激起另一次旅程？
2006年的7月14日到15日，我赶上神州另个举世创举，圆了一趟世人瞩目的青藏铁路之旅，感受了这条两千多公里，翻山越岭“巨龙”的沿途美景，同时也更感动于背后一群成功撑建起这条天路的每个参与者那种在恶劣环境条件下穿凿隧道，克服自然冻土困难的坚韧与智慧。这青藏铁路所蕴含的又岂是美丽的草原、雪山、湖泊？
出行锦囊
从青海省会西宁至西藏首府拉萨全长1956公里的青藏铁路，今年7月1日通车。这是目前世界上海拔最高的铁路，也被认为是中国铁路最值得骄傲的工程。
错那湖
青藏铁路开通以来，在中国及海外掀起了游西藏的热潮。每天，来自北京、成都（重庆）、西宁（兰州）的直达列车将3000名游客带入拉萨，给拉萨旅游业带来巨大压力。
——建议参团的游客谨慎选择旅行社。目前所有青藏列车的车票均紧张，想要感受电视上豪华青藏铁路列车者，须确保有关旅行社有百分百的把握能在事前取到车票。
——从兰州到拉萨的列车虽已改装并有供氧设备，但六人一舱的硬卧座对首次乘坐中国火车的游客还是有挑战。体型大者不只难眠，连要转身的空间也没有，尤其是上铺的空间更小，如全团都是老年人，试想怎样爬上去？
——列车的行驶虽平稳，但半夜靠站时可能出现空调停止运作的现象，需要有心理准备。一般旅客不会有太大的高原反应，但还是应避免不必要的剧烈活动，如最好一次性多买几瓶水，省却走动带来的缺氧劳累。
