A Random Post 24.10.09

AY said,

Your blog is rotting. I’m serious.

But i had nothing exciting to blog about, so this would be a boring post on how i spent my last 2 weeks …

Settled the meals myself when my parents went to Taiwan last week …

• Loved toasted bread with picnic ham and melted cheese. Completed within 10 minutes.
• Loved stir-fry instant noodles with egg. Completed within 20 minutes.
• Loved porridge with meat-balls, dried scallops and mushrooms. Completed within 30 minutes.
• Loved 冬粉with Seafood Tom Yam soup. Completed within 40 minutes.
• Loved Burger King’s Grilled Chicken Burger.
• Loved Subway’s Cold Cut Trio, ONLY cucumber slices and honey mustard, especially Oatmeal Raisins cookies.
• Loved NTU Canteen B’s Chicken Chop and Sphagetti with Mushroom cream sauce.
• Loved Sweet Talk’s Passion Red Tea with black pearls and coloured coconut jelly.
• Loved McFlurry with Oreo bits.

Attended Aerith’s 1st birthday party last Saturday.  Due to my cousin’s implusive online shopping habits, i gained some brand-new clothes; either it was too big or it was too long for her. Drove us to Pasir Ris’s Aranda Club; saved me from a long 1 hr-MRT ride. Had fun with dear Xuanxuan; she’s so cute；姨姨爱你 …

Still waiting for my cousin to tag me; wanted to see the photos we took last Saturday. Will upload pictures of the stuff my Mum bought for me from Taiwan and maybe, the clothes i got from my cousin too.

The rest of the time, i am stuck at home doing my reports.

Completed my HC362 presentation and report this week，《中国「崛起」与海外华人的「大中华民族主义」——以印尼华人为例》；the teacher praised us for using a theory and having many examples to support our points; he didn’t have much time to pick on us; told us to add some small points to emphasize our conclusion; i hoped we gave a good report.

Need to email my FYP stuff by next Wed to my mentor. Finished writing chapter 1 which was the requirement, but i hope to finish 1/3 of my chapter 2 too, if time permits. Realised that the theory i am using actually had a Chinese translated version; i know i am late to realize this, but luckily still in time to write my chapter 2 which is solely on explaining the theory; no more extra translation work.   =)

Doing my MB106 report, or at least i plan to finish drafting out the content by this weekend.

My favourite Sec 4 cousin decided to stay at my house, this Monday to Wednesday and asked me to supervise him for Chinese. He said my house has this “study-mode-atmosphere” that he can concentrate on his studies better, but why didn’t i realise this? Had his science practical exam this Thursday; hope he can get his first choice, Temasek Poly’s Child Psychology.

Decided to name my P1 tuition kid 死小孩 … Cos’ of the PSLE marking, he had a 1 week holiday and his father asked me to tutor him for 4 days straight. Been dragging myself up from my cosy bed every morning before 8.30am to face a monster that simply loves to throw tantrums. Irritating fellow who acts clever, but actually knows nothing much at all. Simple maths sums, he can’t do; Chinese, he hates writing Hanyu PinYin cos’ he is not good at them; English; it’s the only subject that he hasn’t been giving me problems. His P3 sister is well-mannered; i like her. Liked my Sec 3 tution kid too; maybe cos’ of the smaller age gap, we can communicate like friends and he does the work i asked him too. 

Attended a talk yesterday and watched Yasmin Ahmad’s flim, “Sepet” (The Chinese Eyes《单眼皮》) … It’s a story on the love between a Chinese boy and Malay girl in Malaysia; i hate sad endings … Of course, it wouldn’t be a talk if we are only talking about the “forbidden” love between Chinese and Malays; a constructed-reflection of the superiority of Malays over Chinese in Malaysia?; the fate of Chinese in Malaysia?; HongKong culture; Gender issues???

Thinking of dropping by Salvation Army this Sunday to donate my clothes. Instead of selling them to the garung guni for a petty amount of money, i thought i should accumulate some good karma. Mummy and “her Mummy” decided that they wanted to donate their clothes too … Mummy even said my brothers had a lot of clothes they don’t want, so i guess we will probably get my Daddy to drive us down …  

Oops, they are not open on Sundays, maybe next Saturday then …

Having a family gathering with my maternal relatives later in the evening; XuanXuan’s Mummy invited us to a BBQ dinner at her condo …

P.S: I think i have more content to plot out 《溏心风暴》5 soon …
