Funny things that I heard during phy...

during physic revision class, the teacher suddenly asked what's the difference between Grammy and Oscar. And continued to ask who is "the Oscar guy". Then, one student said, "my great-grandfather!"

Then, the teacher asked the class about one question related to light. The same guy asked if he's going to ask that in the exam. The teacher asked him back, why he (the student) asked that. The student answered,"because u always give easy questions and this question is hard!"

Taking about Mexican waves (kallang waves as we refer to in s'pore)...

Student: "why is it called Mexican waves?"
Teacher: "because the first wave, the very first wave, was generated in Mexico!" (who would believe that!)
Teacher: " u ask a question and as the instructor, I'll give u an answer. But whether the answer is correct or not, it's another matter!"

At work, I brought my camera along to take some photos. Surprisingly, the guys,especially steward (y i'm not surprised) willingly obliged. Then, i looked throught the old photos. Photos of the class bbq, the last gathering before I went to usa, at the airport... I muttered rather loudly that I missed my friends. I asked Asagi n Steward if they missed their friends, and they said no. I'm wondering if they have any emotion at all! then, I asked y they didn't miss their friends. Steward seemed to be rather irritated to be asked about missing his friends and said that yeah, he missed his friends to satisfy me :s He then told me that there was one thing that I could do so that I wouldn't miss my friends. I need to find a boyfriend.

I told him that even if i had a boyfriend, i would still miss my friends. He said, "no" very confidently. Will having a boyfriend make a girl forget about her friends? I wonder.

Eric had quit. I just learnt yesterday. No more Eric. It's quite weird actually. Haha... It's haruyuki's last day yesterday. Asagi was so weird all of the sudden. He told me that haruyuki's graduating, and I said that I know. He proceed to say, "I'm sorry!" ???? Question marks ??? I didn't get what he's trying to say. Why he's saying sorry ??? When I suggested taking fotos of the guys, Asagi snatched my camera and insisted of taking my photo with haruyuki. It then dawned upon me what he's thinking! I refused to take photos with Haruyuki! I don't like Haruyuki (in THAT kind of way)! I mean like him as a fellow worker cause working with him is very qing song. He does most of the things :P

I told Asagi about this before and may be he got the wrong idea! Stupid!

Who is who, it's for u to guess ;)

Yesterday was fun! Supporting the indonesian team. WEll, it's not really indonesia. There were malaysians, a chinese and a caucasian. Not enough people! Anyway, the team was thrashed or should I said humiliated 7-0 by africans and 5-0 by japan??? but nothing could dampen our spirit. We were there, participating and supporting, just for fun... and fun we got! I think the last time i did this was during inter-class tournament at zhss.


After the match, it's dinner time. I didn't realize how late it was until I checked my watch when I got to the restaurant. It's 9.30pm!!! No wonder the restaurant wasn't crowded at all. Time flies when u're enjoying yourself. I think that was the happiest time since I came here!

Liverpool beat Middlesbourgh 2-0. The goal scorer??? STEVEN GERRARD!!!

I liked his first goal. So beautifully executed... "Zenden's neat pass dropped into Gerrard's path 25 yards out - and the captain crashed the ball low past Mark Schwarzer" (soccernet). 25 yards!!!

The second was from the spot kick. Crouch was fouled and penalty was awarded to Liverpool. Gerrard took it. This time, I was so sure that he's gonna convert it. His confidence would high, no pressure. And I'm right.

The gunman of the VT shooting was released and as it turned out, he was a quiet guy who suffered from depression. I just thought what kind of things he had went through to be able to do such thing. The media was saying that there might be signs of him being a "troubled" kid with the gross plays that he wrote, etc. But how could the students know? How would the teacher know?

Then, when I was viewing my MSIS exam 2 paper at the prof. office, a guy came in to take his quiz. His reason for missing it: his sister passed away. And his sister was just 18 yrs-old! He said that it was heart attack. Her heart just stopped while she was brushing her teeth. I was so shocked to hear it, so was the professor.

You never know what will happen. Uncertainty... Life is full of uncertainty!

My condolences to the victims of the Virginia Tech University shooting. The deadliest shooting in the US history.

Shocked filled me when I heard of another school shooting...I wonder how a person could do such a thing. What drive them to do it?

This is just a reminder of how things could go wrong ,and how we should value our days. I'm gonna call my mummy later...

A cold, cold Spring semester. My first spring.... turned out to be just like Winter time :(

I finally completed the A draft for my english paper!!! So happy!!!

There's a world cup soccer between international students groups and indonesia is participating and they're in the same group as Africa n Japan! I wish them lotsss of luck. They really need it. I'm not sure how good the group is, but i know japan is very good! Africa, I think so. All the best, selamat berjuang!

I did some reflection... My family's the best!!! I know I complained how bad my family is, how i wish i'm in different family... sometimes, but honestly, I wouldn't trade to be in another family. My parents shows no favoritism, well they seem to care more about my younger siblings, esp. my sis and sometimes I do feel neglected, but I'm wiser now. I know the reason behind it. My parents listen to what we, the children, have to say and value our opinions. Three of us get along very well with each other. And I hope we won't let adulthood, marriage, and family life come between us. I don't want us to be like my dad and his siblings. We have to learn from the last generation!

Now, my dad is practically running the "family" business himself. Travelling from Jakarta to Tanggerang (about more than an hour, sometimes more than 3 hours due to the traffic jams) daily to oversee the workers. Some "family" business!!! And whatever my dad earned (for the company), he has to split it with the other siblings. Father and son are the same!!! (talking about my uncle and his son!!!) I'm really worried that all those travelling will take a toll on my dad's health. That's why. I want to graduate soon, find a job,and provide for my family. I don't want my dad to work that hard anymore.

random entry, i know.

Back from work... and I was so clumsy... AGAIN!!! This time, I spilled shredded cheese!!! I was holding the packet of cheese by the plastic package when it suddenly torn apart and cheese spilled all over the floor!!! Steward saw it and helped me out. We tried to sweep the cheese as quickly as possible before Eric saw it.Well, in the end, Eric still saw it, but only after we managed to sweep most of it off. Last week, it was Steward who chuang huo when he spilled the wrapping paper all over the floor. I helped him out, so it's his turn to pay me back!

I brought a CD that has Sun yan zi's Yu JIan, and guess what??? Many, well only Lo and Steward, liked it and they kept playing it over and over again, especially Steward. Haha... It's my favorite song too. The lyrics reflect an aspect of my life!

Then, another thing... I always thought that an elder brother would dote on the younger siblings more than an elder sister. I don't know why or when I have such a view. May be because on tv, I always see the big brother is always so protective of their siblings(usually younger sister), and i felt that my bro n sis are close to each other than me to either of them. May be our age gap plays a part. Well, certain things happen and made me rethink of view. He, same as me, has a younger bro n sis. And I don't see him buying stuffs for them or even talk to them on the phone at all. And he always called them bad names (like botak and chu ba jie). I did call my bro and sis names sometimes, but not that mean, I think, and I won't keep calling them that. So, overall, I felt that I'm a better and more doting elder siblings than he is. I really miss my siblings, I miss one of them more than the other. I won't say who (cause I know my sis would read this :P ) Just now, at work, where the guys were the majority, I took the opportunity to ask the guys if they have a younger sibling (s) and if they missed them. Many, or almost all, of them said NO!!! I was shocked!!! Asagi even said that he missed his dog, but he doesn't miss his brother! My conclusion based on this, an elder sister is better than an elder brother!!! Haha...

I should have done this for my english research paper. So much more interesting, but I think I would have a hard time finding sources to support my points!

sooo irritating!!! Chelsea won!!!!
Liverpool vs Chelsea again!!! Honestly, I'm more worried that Liverpool won't be able to beat Chelsea. I'm more confident of liverpool beating valencia, see.

Anyway, it would be interesting to see a Liv vs Man u Final!!! But I prefer not to. I think I know who will win if they meet. A kwa will be vy happy with what i think!

Still can't believe man u beat roma 7-1. Should have watched that match! Goal fiesta!!! I spent my tuesday afternoon taking a much needed nap!!!

Finals are coming!!! I want final to come and be over. Then I would be back!!!! I miss my family sooo much, I miss my friends very much tooo (must mention family first mah...) Yeah, I can still speak Singlish! And no, I don't have American accent. I want to preserve my unique accent! Haha...

It's feel so much better to receive something!!! Haha...

I regretted working last night. I was so tired today and I still have test later in the evening. And I got block nose!!! ARGH!!! Must be the weather! It's April! It's suppose to be warmer! But it's back to winter time again! What's wrong with the weather! Global warming!!! Erratic weather pattern.

Chelsea vs Valencia tmr. I want Valencia to win. Gooooo Valencia!!! You MUST win at home!!! Draw 0-0 also ok. Win by away goal! As long as Chelsea don't go thru to the semi, i don't care what's the scoreline!

Happy Easter!!!

I remembered the sermon that I attended 2 years back on Easter Sunday. The priest was saying how we should remember and celebrate Easter sunday as the resurrection of Jesus Christ and not about the decorative eggs and easter bunnies.

Anyway, i will be spending my easter sunday revising for stat. exam and working.

the gathering went well yesterday. It was a little boring, but if u have someone to talk to, it became more lively. I didn't cook the soup! My aunt cooked it. She woke up early and decided to cook the soup herself. I was both thankful and disappointed. I didn't know why she decided to cook the soup herself instead of letting me and ani cooked it. I know my mum wouldn't. Well, may be she will helped me cooked one pot, but she would let me cook the soup or wake me up to remind me of the time and the soup. I think the latter is better. You have to let your children to learn to be responsible, no? Oh, I miss my mum. I miss my family. I miss my friends!!! I miss home!!!

WE watched the video of the Cultural Night after lunch, and it was filled with jokes and laughter. I really felt that we did a very good job. May be the only aspect that we lost to Japan was in terms of flow. Japan's performance was very continuous, there's not much pause here and there. So, it became more powerful, I guess.

And a funny stuff happened at work last night. Steward liked this chinese girl whom the twins happened to know and he kinna assumed i know her too. He asked me to teach him some chinese, like how to ask if she has a bf, and how to ask her out for a date. Then, he kept bugging me about her. He asked me if i think she has a bf, if the twins like her, blah.... It's really funny. I've never had such a conversation with a guy before!

It's back to winter weather again :( This the most irritating part with Oklahoma weather. When u thought winter was over , it came again!

Anyway, my body felt rather weird lately. It gets chilly easily. I haven't been getting enough sleep, well I felt as if I didn't get enough sleep when I had around 8 hours of sleep every night. Nap just made me more tired...

I met Farrell just now. Know him from the cultural night. We talked and i think he will think of me now as a daddy's or mummy's girl. When he asked who I lived with, I said my cousin, sung. I hate it when ppl asked that. It's not that I want to live with him. it's more like no choice. I wanted to live in the dorm, but my dad wouldn't let me. That's what I told Farrell, too. then about the summer when i told him that my parents won't let me to go back to stillwater earlier to take course. So everything also my parents :( Well, it's true. Even with the distance, my parents, esp. my dad, still has control over me. If I defy him (which i used to in my teenage years. I'm no longer a teenager as of feb 19!) again, i think it would hurt him even more now.
I should not think too much of what others think of me!!! So what if the first (or the third now) impression that he has of me is that i'm a girl who's scared of her parents. I think i just want to give a good impression to people whom I have just met. Well, everyone does that, no?

I can't wait for next semester when i can move out. That is if i get the apt. I applied for. I hope I will. I don't want to say that I live with him. Honestly, I really would rather live with a stranger than him (after all those things he put me through!!!). *sigh* LIFE!!!

The indonesian organization is having a party to celebrate the cultural night. I volunteered to cook soup. Dunno what came over me !!! I think I just want to do something or show that I can contribute, too. Now, I have to cook soup for 40 people!!! That many! I don't even know if I have enough pot. More importantly, I don't even know if the soup will taste good :(

Liverpool thrased PSV 3-0!!!! Gerrard scored a header!!! I know it's still too early to say that liverpool is in the Semi, but i also know that Benitez won't let liverpool sit on their laurels, so keep up the good work, reds!!! Chelsea drew with Valencia. I hope Valencia will win at home! I'm relishing for a show down btw the Reds and Rafa's old club, Valencia!!! Besides, Chelsea vs Liverpool so boring!!! Time for another opponent, please!

Here are some photos from the cultural night....
I am somewhere in the PHOTO... haha...

Cultural Night is over!!! The winner for big group performance was Japan and the winner for small group performance was Nepal. INdonesia was in the big group performance category. We felt that we had done such a great job, especially with the Tari Saman. I heard that Japan have been doing the dance every year. But for first time watcher, like me, their performance was really good and powerful!

Anyway, I'm glad the cultural night is over. I can at least take a breather now. But I think I will miss the companion of all of them. My bahasa indonesia may not be very good now, but I can still interact with them and understand what they're talking and joking about. It reminds me of 4e1 gathering. I will post some photos when I get them.

Well, now it will be time to catch up with my studies! One more month... to Summer Break!!!

Well, since I couldn't post many photos, I decided to described my disney world trip as short and interesting as possible.

Day 1

Magic Kingdom

We were very confused of where to go, how to use the Fastpass, which places to visit first,etc. We walked in an anticlockwise direction and went to the Tomorrowland first. Took a ride in the tomorrowland transit authority, astro orbiter(my cousin, Ani,kept screaming as she was scared when the ride went up and down in a circular motion. She made me scared too :( ) Went to watch Stitch's Great Escape, the place sprayed water and garlic smelled fume, stitch's breath! Dared myself to take a ride from the Space Mountain. My sis advised me to take it last as she said that I would be too scared to try anything else after that. I took it with my male cousin, Ana. We had a fastpass for it, but we still have to queue for quite sometime, mostly due to some technical problem. Some people left after waiting for a couple of minutes. I think we waited for around 10 to 15 min. A family left and right after they left, the ride was functioning again. Patience paid off! It was dark and scary and the carrier (or whatever you call it) turned left and right, up and down at a high speed. I was rather thankful that it was dark! At least I can't really see what's in front and be freaked out (some people may disagree with me).

Visited Micky's and Minnie's houses. Small, but cute!

Ride Splash Mountain- wet!!! We weren't because the boat plunged down, but because of the other boat plunging down as we went into the cave. It made us freeze as we waited patiently for the big plunged!!!

Ana and I took ride in the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was somewhat like Space mountain, but less ups and downs, just turning. Not scary! :D I became braver! Haha... After that, we managed to catch the last few night parade. Then, we rushed off to the castle to watch the fireworks. It was 10 minutes late!!! Anyway, the wait was worth it! The fireworks was so spectacular. They played a song about how dreams can come true if you believe in them. And for that few minutes, as I watched the fireworks and listened to the song, I believed that dreams do come true. Of course, after that, reality knocks in!

Day 2

Epcot

We felt very tired from the trip to the Magic Kingdom. We weren't really energetic. Anyway, we queue up for an hour for Soarin' You sit down and the screen will show places like Golden Gate bridge, mountains, lakes, etc. It makes you feel as if you're flying.

Next, we watched "Honey, I shrunk the audience" A 3-D movie. We were sprayed with water again :(

next, we ride Misson:SPACE. There're 2 option, green and orange. The orange was more intense and we felt a little motion sickness after that. But didn't throw up. We're tougher than that!!! Ana and I tried Test Track. We queued as Single rider as the queue was shorter. But we still managed to sit together. Sharing a car with us was a family of 4. The mother generously switched the places of her childern, so that we can be together. Anyway, we thought that single rider meant that we would be riding alone, but it's just that we would be split, we couldn't ride together.

Then, we visited Mexico, Italy, France, Canada, Japan... Epcot had a showcase of different countries. Different countries in just 5 minutes! Haha... Anyway, we kept taking a break. We looked a little, then sat down. My legs were killing me. It's like I wanted to walk and look around, but my legs were aching! Nonetheless, we still walked finished the entire countries. Oh, and in UK, there's a sport store selling some EPL clubs stuffs, like jerseys, scarfs, balls... And guess what's in the display window??? Liverpool's vintage jersey!!! I saw liverpool scarf and took photos with it. Wanted to buy it, but it was expensive $20!!! Now, I kinna regreted not buying it. I could earn the money back when I work next week :( Oh, well, I still have the scarf Ren gave me!

At night, despite the fatigue, my cousins and I went to Downtown Disney. There's a tendency to say Downtown East! The place was rather big! We didn't buy anything besides food(dinner), because the things were rather expensive and we wouldn't really need the stuffs (dolls, mickey's caps,etc). So, when we see things we like or found it cute, we just take a photo with it, but i still wanted to buy the eeyore doll in pajamas. He's so adorable. Yes, in case u don't know, I like Eeyore!

Day 3

Animal Kingdom.

We were a little less tired today. We were very excited to ride on the Expedia Everest. It's a new ride, just a year-old. And it's the no. 1 must ride in the disney world. How could we miss it? It was more frightening than Space Mountain definitely, and we train drove backward at a high speed. It was so fun!!! I wanted to ride it again, but the long queue contained the temptation. We proceeded to ride through the Kali River Rapids. We were wondering how wet we would be. We saw some people who came out a little wet and some soaking wet from top to toe. We concluded that the degree of wetness would depend on where you sit. I hoped I woundn't get to sit at the "wet" seat. (then again, if we didn't get wet, it wouldn't be fun, right?) Lord seemed to hear my last comment and Ani and I got the "wet" seats. As the boat went down the rapid, boom, water splashed right at us. We were soaking head to toe, while the rest of the riders we just a little wet. Ana was not very wet and he was not satisfied. So, Ani and Ana took another ride. I passed, I was freezing, and i didn't bring any shorts to change, I didn't want to make my jeans any wetter! Well, this time, both of them came out soaking wet! We changed and went back to the hotel. At night, we went to the Downtown Disney again. My aunt wanted to buy chocolates. I was still considering of buying the Eeyore doll. Then I saw another eeyore doll. A baby Eeyore. Soooo cute... Now, I couldn't decide which one to buy. I decided to think about it as we bought the chocolate first. After buying the chocolate, we entered another shop. And I saw an Eeyore... no, it's not another doll, but an eeyore cup... now, I have 3 things that I wanted to buy. Hmph... choices...

... I decided to buy the cup. it's more useful. besides, I still have the eeyore doll that my sis bought for me.

Day 4

Disney-MGM Studio.

There weren't many things to see. I would say that the main attractions are the rock n roller coaster starring aerosmith. Blast from 0-60 mph in 2.8 sec as you twist and loop thorugh Hollywood while grooving' to the best of Aerosmith. WE're brought upside down too!!! I think this was the scariest off all, scarier than the Everst one to me. May be because of the speed and the upside down part. I nearly lost my spec. The car was moving so fast that my spec was blown down to my nose. For a few sec, I was distracted in putting my spec in place that i was oblivious of the ride. Unfortunately, it was not the upside down part. Then, we went to the twilight zone tower of terror. We rode in an elevator and as we reached the 13th floor, we were brought up and down, up and down for 3 or 4 times! We felt as if we're flying as the elevator went down. Scary! The rest of the day were spent watching shows like 3-D muppet shows, Little Mermaid (we were sprayed with water again!!! It's like it's drizzling in the theater!). Ani and I took a photo with Chip and Dale and Mr. Incredibles. We totally felt like a child again!

In fact, i felt like a little girl again. I just wish that my parents and siblings were here with me. Then, we can act like little children again and pester our parents to buy things for us or let us ride in the scary rides! Haha...

Oh, Happy B'day Sista! Called yesterday, but u're still asleep!

Just came back from Disney World!!! Had so much fun!!! Tried out many rides. Didn't know i'm so courageous! Haha... It's scary, but fun! Well, let the photos do the talking!

Isn't this funny?

I lost my Eeyore key chain that YSK gave me as a farewell gift T_T

I was washing it as it was very dirty and then i put it in my jeans pocket. I think it dropped while I was walking home. I couldn't find it anymore. I'm very sad!!! I hope i can find a cute keychain in disney world.

Spring break is coming!!! Orlando, here I come!!!

Update....

I've got a bicycle, a second-hand bicycle. 4 years old, but still in good condition. I had to pump the front tyre though. Haven't found time to pump it, so haven't taken my first ride! Anyway, I finally able to have a bicycle. At least I don't have to walk to work on Sat anymore. It was busy last night. A game day, I suppose. Orders kept coming!!! A new guy, called Marco and Haruyuki kept going out to smoke. I was left to do things on my own. Felt like superwomen. Make pizzas, cut pizzas and sandwiches. Haha... Jeremy, who mend the register, came into the kitchen and was surprised to realized that there're only 2 of us! Haha... His expression was rather funny. Oh, he has an Asian gf! I think she's a vietnamise. Not sure. Anyway, i was tired with all the work, but at closing, I only swept the floor ( i prefer to stay away from the mop now) and arrage the utensils. Marco, especially Haruyuki and Geremy did most of the cleaning :P Then, Marco insisted on driving me and Haruyuki home. Kinna relieved not having to walk home.

there's a set-up collision outside the dining center. I thought it was a real collision. I saw a girl with red marks. My initial thought was she's bleeding and badly hurt, but it doesn't really look like blood, just red (marker) marks. When I read the college paper in the morning, then i dawned upon me that it's a set-up to discourage students from drunk driving! And it became clear why the girl's "blood" looked fake. It was fake!

I want to hit the sack now. Will get back my econ paper. I hope I did well. I don't want to destroy my mood before the spring break, u see.

Nite

Haven't been updating for some time. Yup, busy busy busy...

My break is coming and i'm really excited!!! I hope everything will go smoothly and I will have lots of fun. I know I will. I've never been to Disney world before! I hope my cousins n aunt will too.

I played soccer with my cousin just now. My stamina really deteriorates! We played for like 20 min and we're really tired! We sat down and talked... It's nice to have someone whom you can talk to. She agreed with me that her bro had been manipulated by the twins. Anyway, I have to study for Econ. *sigh* weekend spoiler!

Liverpool vs aston villa tmr!

Liverpool is playing PSV Eidinhoven in the quarter-final. They thrashed them in the group stage I hope they can trash them again.
