Pet Peeves
Everybody has their pet peeves, I'm telling you mine. It's not cos I'm angry or still angry with you for it, I just want to inform you so that you would understand and hopefully not allow such things to happen again.
Pet Peeve #1: Not reply my sms (of course those that requires a response from you).
If I ever send an sms or share my prob with you or tell you that I'm sad or something relatively important and you don't reply? Oh my gosh, I will be even more sad I tell you. It doesn't matter if you are too busy to reply (which is really a stupid excuse, c'mon lah, how long does it take for you to send u an sms? 3 mins the most!) or that you have to reply late as long as you DO reply. NOT REPLYING IS EQUIVALENT TO IGNORING ME AND WHAT KIND OF REAL FRIENDS DO THAT? And if you dun reply becos u want to save 5 cents? I say keep your money and dun ever sms me again. Is not our friendship worth more than 5 cents? Am I not worth your 5 cents?
Pet Peeve #2: SAY I'll CALL YOU BACK AND THEN NOT CALL BACK!!!!
Zah............ At least 3 persons have done this to me. When you said, "I'll call you back", you meant it right!!??? If you didn't, can you not say it!? Pls for goodness sake becos I will take you for your word when you say that. I know some people say it out of habit... very subconsciously... but I hope you will change this habit becos when you say "I'll call you back", I'm taking it that you WILL call me back. If you dun actually have any intention of calling me back, just dun say it!!! I quote from Phil Pringle, " Our credibility rests on our words coming to pass. Those we lead trust us in large measure on the basis of what we said will happen actually happening."
Pet Peeve # 3: Hurl vulgarities at me. [This shouldn't even be classified as a pet peeve to begin with becos it is not just a minor annoyance, it is blatant inconsideration, an outright weapon.]
Pls dun ever "f**k" or "what the hell!!" me even when you are angry with me. IT IS GOING TO HURT. Being angry doesn't give you the right to hurl vulgarities at me. If some random acquaintance hurls those words at me, it wouldn't really matter becos they dun mean anything to me but if I treasure you and you use those words at me?? Man, it is really going to hurt.
"Right words heal, but cutting words wound people deeply . . . Even though we may think that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, " this is not so. Hurtful words leave deep wounds in the soul . . . Successful people understand the power of the tongue and use it to heal and build, not to wound and destroy. (Phil Pringle) " Enufff said already!
It's the little things in life that makes a big difference. How you treat me tells me a lot about how much I actually matter to you. I hope you know that.
And if I ever do the above pet peeves to you when you are my friend???
And if you are reading this and you have committed the above "crimes" , I forgive you and I still love you ok? Just dun do it again pls. *Hugs*

And this one is certainly
An interesting story.
It starts with an ending
And we're both characters in play.
On the same stage
But on a different page
You'll go on to become
The queen of some kingdom.
And I'll be that monster of myth
Off in some forest, mire or filth.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night.
And they'll say
I'm the emerald
Missing from your crown.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.
Now it's so clear to me.
We should have seen this coming
Back at the beginning.
We both chose to take this road
To the same place
But at a different pace.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night
And I'll say I'm the fabled
One that let you down.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.

Witch Doctor (Classic Version) lyrics
| I told the witch doctor I was in love with you I told the witch doctor I was in love with you And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do He said that .... (Chorus:) Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang... Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice And then the witch doctor, he game me this advice He said to ... (Repeat Chorus) Now, you've been keeping love from me Just like you were a miser And I'll admit I wasn't very smart So I went out and found myself A guy that's so much wiser And he taught me the way to win your heart My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you Oh, Baby .... (Repeat Chorus) |

Anyway, I added 3 strands of hair extensions to spruce up my look for this festive season and no prizes for guessing what colour they are in! [ Er, what are my 2 fave colours? =) ] The last time I added hair extensions was in June 2006. It cost me $10 per strand and I spent like $40 on it. This time it only cost me $6! Smiles. =) It was done at the makeshift store at the basement of Cineleisure Orchard. The aunty who did my hair has been in this business for 21 years. She has cut hair longer than I have breathed air! (The previous sentence rhymes! Ha ha.) She said she'll be there once a month so that means I can like, go there monthly to add different colour hair extensions each time! Let's see if I'm crazy/bold enough to do that and try like blue, red, yellow, purple, etc. extensions. =D
The extensions took less than 10 mins to do and thanks to Ade, Jamie, Zhi Nian and Elicia for waiting for me! We went for lunch & shopping session at Orchard. I'm glad that I got to spend time with my sistas, esp. Nian & Elicia coz it's the 1st time I went shopping with them since we were in the same family in Feb! Come to think of it, there are still a lot of things tat we have yet to do together!!

PSLE Results!
My cousin, Jeslyn, whom I tutored her in English for a couple of months, scored 4 A*s!!! Her PSLE aggregate is 258/300. She is the indisputable top PSLE scholar of the Ang family now. Haha.
My other cousin, Richard, whom I tutored, improved in his results too! He is satisfied with his results so I'm glad lah.
And drum roll pls....
Ladies and gentleman, I am pleased to announce that my student, Rena, whom I tutored since July last year has improved by leaps and bounds for her PSLE!! She used to always fail or do very badly for her English, Maths and Science subjects in her tests and exams. Her mum was really worried that she would end up in Normal stream... BUT guess what?? She went on to get A B B C and is going to the Express stream in sec sch! =) I am really really happy. =)
Many a times I felt like giving up on tutoring her because she was really giving me a hard time - refusing to do homework, throwing temper tantrums, falling asleep in every class... But thank God I didn't! I persevered through and I am so proud of what she has achieved today. =)
YAYNESS!

I also went around giving out candy floss at the end. It was a short 2 hours but I had fun. Also got to know my other fellow council members better, especially Chris, the Welfare Secretary. I see great leadership qualities in him. =)
Tmr is "Around The World", where teams will play a treasure hunt of sorts in campus and I am supposed to run around with them to make sure they don't cheat. I rather stay in canteen, be in charged of the same thing and groove to the music though. Haha. ;)
I went to The Cathay after that, my frequent hang out place cos of my gym membership at the Fitness First there. Have u been to the shopping mall lately? They placed a pretty pretty pretty PINK Christmas tree at the lobby. I love that tree! Wanna bring it home, admire and hug it all day long! LOL. (Crazy...)
The moment I got home, my grandma offered me chocolates and I started eating them right away until she repeatedly told me to stop and had to take it away from me. I am such an emotional eater when it comes to chocolates. ('-')"' And then grandma just called me on my hp(she's 2 floors up) to say that I can have the rest of the chocs in the fridge but to finish it in 2 sittings, not 1. Will I really?
3 more days to my history exam. 3 assignments to complete. And learning from "The Pursuit of Happiness", this part of my life is called, "Crunch Time". Heh.

Now I'm gonna go have a goody good rest till 8 plus in the morning. And I'm going to bed with a wide smile on my face and peace & joy in my heart. =)
Thank you God.
I am 20 years old & 20 days old today. My life was an emotional rollercoaster ride the last 20 days or so. I'm far from being perfect but I'm glad I am on my way there.

愛是彩色糖衣包裝卻沒營養的藥藥!藥藥
你越是提醒自己心越是充滿好奇亂跳卻亂跳

忍不住等不了網路上拚命尋找
勸你別做潘多拉 其他都可以
害怕寂寞去愛沒意義
因為無聊才愛更無趣
拜託你放開他放開他放開他放開他
不然就來不及 NO NO
因為愛是彩色糖衣包裝卻沒營養的藥藥! 藥藥!
你越是提醒自己心越是充滿好奇亂跳!卻亂跳 !
愛是溫柔幻覺一段換來心碎的抱抱!抱抱!
你不懂先愛自己他怎麼可能愛你 亂叫!別亂叫 !
猜不透 想不到 他內在多麼輕佻
你對他死心塌地 他對你見招拆招
捨不得 放不掉 好奇心楛?瑪稗
盒子千萬別打開 我楊著你
害怕寂寞去愛沒意義 因為無聊才愛更無趣
拜託你放開他放開他放開他放開他
不然就來不及 NO NO
因為愛是彩色糖衣包裝卻沒營養的藥藥!藥藥
你越是提醒自己心越是充滿好奇亂跳卻亂跳

I really thank God for a great bunch of friends who are there for me when I fell. When I'm wounded and lying on the floor, they are the ones who put me on a stretcher and carry me till I'm strong enough to stand up again. They are the ones who talked with me, heard me out, comforted me and loved me. They helped me through this ordeal. Thank you so much.
To Valerie: Valerie dear, even though u are going through yr 'A' Levels, u still shower me with yr love and concern. It really means a lot. =) I love you. The words u said really encouraged me. *Hugs hugs*
To Zoe: Thanks for yr words of encouragement, for sharing with me yr perspective, for being so patient and gracious toward me, allowing me to be make my own decisions, reminding to be on the offensive, the list will never end. ;)
To Perez: I am amazed by your wisdom. The words u spoke really helped me a lot. Thanks so much for caring bro! =)
To Naresh: You have such an amazing ability to make me laugh out loud even when I'm really crying on the inside. I am so rooting for you, that yr films will be box office hits. Don't forget yr blur and emotional Wendy then ah. =P You stay strong and stand firm too, my brother.
And thank you Daddy, for yr deep deep love towards me. One that I will take my whole life to appreciate and comprehend. *HUGS* I want to love you back deep deep. =)

No Longer 19
Wendy,
I have read your Essay #2 and it is an excellent paper. You give clear summaries of all the key points with appropriate evidence drawn from the text and the organization of the essay is very good. The grade for this essay is "A".
I look forward to reading your worldview paper.
Leo Werneke
YAYNESS!! Thank you Daddy. :)
I'm no longer 19. I am officially 20... I lived for 2 decades... what will the 3rd decade of my life be? 20 to 30 years old. I think many many huge changes are gonna take place the next 10 years of my life. This will be the decade I see myself transforming from a student to a successful working adult, have my own house, drive my own car, become somebody's wife, have children and hopefully become a millionaire before 30.
Suddenly I feel like 10 years seem too short for all that to happen!
I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to grow up.
Happy Birthday Wendy and welcome to the next phase of your life... whatever your future holds... keep smiling and keep walking, you are gonna have a glorious decade ahead!

Anyhow I dun think anybody will be able to buy a pair of shoes for me so Nike or Royal Sporting House or World of Sports vouchers would suffice?

('-')''' BAH!! I am phoneless, help, help! My N73 just shut down by itself last Sat night and could not be switched on ever since. ('-')'''
Anyway, my previous entry was very short because I had to go for class. Yesterday was my last Values and Culture (Philosophy) lecture. I took pics with my classmates and Prof Leo Werneke. :) You can check out my new hairstyle! So far, everyone has given me good comments except for my cousin, Melissa, who said ,"You look weird", and the triplets said "Ya!" in unison. ('-')"' LOL. I love my new hairstyle more and more each day. =) =) =)
With the Dee Jay! Both of us were clad in brown. She's 165! Gosh.
Under my Arbella. =D
With Professor Leo Werneke!
He very warmly put his arms around my shoulders when we took pics. He's 60+ so it felt like a grandpa giving me some loving. ;) He has been teaching Philosophy for the last 40 years of his life. Yes 40!! He taught Philosophy double the times that I breathed oxygen! Goodness gracious me.
He gave me an A for my in-class essay writing exam which takes up 25% of my module. Here's the comments he gave:
"Excellent essay. You give a clear development of Aristotle's concept of virtue as the mean between over and under reaching and supplying. Very good example to show how virtuous action would contribute to the overall happiness of a person. You also support your interpretation of Aristotle with specific reference to the text. "
Now u know why I couldn't stop smiling. Haha. I said that I've not gotten an A since 'O' Levels... *Correction* ---> I forgot I got an A earlier this year for my Advance Dip graduation project! Heh.
My BS mates . . .
The men in black.

Something really lame happened. I was waiting to cross the road after leaving my student's house at Jurong West at around ten pm, and the people in this car on the road beside me just started to call out to me and make wolf whistles. And guess what? They were Malay guys. Like hello? I'm Chinese?? LOL. Did they mistake me for be a Malay??? Or was race simply not an issue to them?LOL. And I think one of the guy looks drunk, maybe they had too much beer since Hari Raya was the next day. I dunno! Just the weirdest things can happen!
Onwards to more serious and personal stuff, I had a long and hard conversation with my aunt just now. And the contents of it, I am not to reveal. However, my reflections on it I can. And alas, I am too tired now to ponder as such and I so shall lay my body to rest and leave this reflection to be reflected on 'nother day. (starting to talk like I'm acting in a play --> I had complete fun with the Philosophy class

The Zen of PR
" Sometimes a new paradigm - a different perspective - can enhance our understanding. And what could be farther from the practicality of public relations than spirituality? To better understand an important public relations concept, consider the principle of interconnectedness - the duality in which everything is related. What appears to be the opposite is not separate; it is only the other end of the pole, the other side of the lake.
When we think of public relations issue, our tendency often is to identify them as either obstacles or opportunities.But such words mask an important relationship. The spirituality associated with Zen values harmony. A problem is not necesarily something negative but rather something lacking harmony, a point of yet-unrealized potential. An obstacle puts us at a crossroads, allowing us to go this way or that, with consequences based on the choice we make.
The ultimate public relations problem is a crisis. Yet even that word gives us a philosophical pause. Interestingly, the Chinese term wei ji and the parallel Japanese word kiki, both of which translate as 'crisis', are made up of two characters - one meaning 'danger', the other meaning 'opportunity'. A crisis is a decision point where choices point to consequences.
The job of public relations, then, is to restore harmony, to re-establish equilibrium. "

- Go for classes
- Give tuition
- DANCE (becos I have no mood or energy to do so!)
And many many more.
I don't feel like leaving my house, I don't feel like talking, I don't feel like blogging. I don't feel like doing anything! The only thing I can really enjoy doing when I'm sick is probably sleep and watch tv which I have been doing the past 2 days.
It's back to studying the history of America with Dr Virginia McCombs tmr. It beats studying Singapore history anytime. Not that I hate Singapore of course. Yours truly is a lover of this country and a grateful citizen, mind you. Talking about this, you have to read this blog entry by Xiaxue about ungrateful Singaporeans:
Don't like Singapore? F*** off - and we wouldn't miss you.
I totally agree with her.Anyway, today I got a random call from Wi*****, and he actually asked me out. Like just out of the blue. And just the other day, this other guy, randomly asked me out for coffee which I had to turn down because I wasn't free. And there is this Indian guy, who is currently serving his NS, asking me out several times which I had to turn down because I simply wasn't interested.
The guys who have asked me out on a date are like totally random guys who I don't really have a friendship with? GOSH. When when when will a decent, smart, handsome, godly guy ask me out on a date!? Even my girlfriends don't call me randomly to ask me out even though I wished they would!
Just ranting. BLAH. Hate being sick. BLAH.
