For the past weeks, the unemployed me entered the world of MapleStory, roaming about in Cassiopeia to become the greatest Wizard!(Actually still a 'Magician', low level somemore...) It was to kill time since I'm neither working nor studying. In the day, it's boredom without the computer. Then my phone starts ringing cos of the smses that I sent out. So thankful for korkor. He always reply xD If not would be working out at the gym but the weather spoils everything. At night, it's slightly better because of TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in poor health. Even though I sleep early and wake up late, drink enough water, keep away from fried food whenever possible, work out at the gym weekly, and yet, I've fallen sick. AW. The only possible combo reason: LJS dinner + cold water bath at night + proper sleep of only one hour that night + a long day serving in church on Sun. HAIZ. It's not the first time. Serving in ministry makes me stressed. Can't sleep well on Sat nights!!! I like what I'm doing...I set a high expectation of myself and also of others to do it well...I expect no mistakes...Side board matters a lot to me. Main board is constantly on my mind as well. Does that result in stress? I don't even have this problem when I take my exams -_- Always sleep like a dead log...Always.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VIXprllUDqA/RlGrerTCJjI/AAAAAAAAAA0/VPQpy9CtAWM/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VIXprllUDqA/RlGrerTCJjI/AAAAAAAAAA0/VPQpy9CtAWM/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5067019599275501106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need to pull through for Emerge!

I can't afford to fall sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gotta make decisions, and that s*cks. I need more time to think and consider. Engineering? Radiography? ARGHS.

That is not good testimony. I confess, I repent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, it's human nature. When your patience gets tested, you snapped, easily. I thought(yes I assume always) he's eyeing for the computer since he was sitting beside me for almost an hour. There is almost zero privacy so beware of what you type on MSN while chatting with me. He always does that if he wants the computer. Look and sit and wait until I "surrender". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he asked, "What time are you leaving the house?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't wait for me to leave?!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was my reply. So harsh. It was unintentional. Didn't expect myself to blurt that out. He left the house within the next 3 minutes. Fine, my fault this time.

It's hitting the number 2() soon. Now that there're more younger members in N283, and I'm thankful for their presence...They make me feel older. That means mature ok. So reg, I will remember not to act childish like I was yesterday. Haha. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway it's a privilege to have groups of people celebrating my birthday for me this year. *AHEM..Many thanks to the 4H gang, N283, CB team 3 and last but not least, my family. What an eventful year. Also to the ones who sent SMS/MMS wishes, I love you &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; -muack-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Followed tracy to the gym some days back. That was a good workout for me. It made me realise how unfit I've become and reminded me of the times in TJTT during training camp. Till today, I still suffer from muscle aches here and there. My thighs are numb to the core because of those exercises. Open close, open close. So obsene.(Don't try to visualize) I was moving my legs effortlessly since my leg muscles are rather muscular. If I were to amputate my legs, they probably weigh 20kg each. Ya it's that heavy. That's why my weight is not 40kg!! Not to mention 45 argh. Umm can't say much for my arms =\ No I can't lift weights. In addition, my agent called me up to ask if I wanted to do a one-day stock take assignment which I perceived to be similar to admin job. I was so wrong. When I reached the store, I saw two guys. First thought: Am I in the right place? My agent sent an e-mail indicating the position as 'PROMOTER' when she told me stock-taking the day before. Why are there guys promoting cosmetics?!?!?! Actually there are, but it's not the norm. After which, I took a glance at the number of boxes in front of me...At least 300? At the end of the day, the three of us only packed 137 boxes, cos the rest don't belong to Clarins! -_- Phew. Or else I'll never get to leave the place. Left the workplace with a sigh of relief. I just had a complimentary gym session. &gt;.&lt; Extreme pain.&lt;br /&gt;PTL! The soreness is almost gone, like finally (: Sharon, stop laughing at me. How's your backache? TEEHEEHEEHEE. =X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love serving God in church!! WHEE! &lt;3 CHCCB! Moving onto main board soon. Double WHEES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A word of encouragement especially to my dearest CG...&lt;br /&gt;The examination period may be a tough time to get by BUT don't give up! Have faith, my friend. Know that as you put in the effort, you shall reap the fruits of your labour. You shall conquer 'the mountain of impossible' and be an overcomer! Remember that YOU CAN!!! Stop deceiving yourself saying you can't. Talk to yourself!! Do not listen to your inner voices. &lt;br /&gt;Now...Prepare all that you need to. Don't look back at what you didn't do right in the past. Look forward to what you want to achieve in the future! All the best! Don't stress, relax xD&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-3153764232733617121?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/3153764232733617121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=3153764232733617121' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/3153764232733617121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/3153764232733617121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2007/04/working-out.html' title='Working out'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-8332701602072578564</id><published>2007-04-21T12:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-04-21T12:50:22.899+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Birthday part 1b</title><content type='html'>Hi all!

Part 2...Soon la, soon. Someone get me a bag!! =X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Working at Toseva stressed me out further when I haven't been having enough sleep for the past few days. Was doing data entry on thurs and the errors surfaced out on fri, where it left me quite shocked. My confidence level dropped, not to even mention that of my supervisor's. She kept asking me, "Hey, you have no confidence in yourself ah..." I think it's her, not me. Accounts = extra sensitive figures and cannot go wrong!!! If any mistakes has been made, it will be tedious to find out where things have gone wrong. Sadly, I was caught in this situation yesterday. A difference of 30 cents almost killed me. After that she decided to let me do checking. I call that cross-referencing between two sets of accounts. Bleah. Wonder when is this 1-2 weeks assignment ending..

After two days in Accounts dept, I must say numbers are killing me cos they're making my eyes see **st*rs*** &lt;br /&gt;-blink blink-&lt;br /&gt;It'll be over soon. 1 to 2 weeks but I don't mind a short extension. The working environment is pleasant. I'm still free to move about but not as often like the times back at SIM. Working reminds me of schooling. There's a bell that rings thrice in a day! It rings once at 9am(start work), another at 12.30pm(lunch!), finally, the last one at 5.30pm(bye bye). &lt;s&gt;School&lt;/s&gt;Worklife minus recess. I love lunchtime. Yesterday, one funny colleague who went for reservist training in Taiwan came back and told us his adventure. He mentioned how he had to bear with the long 9-hour drive(Because he's a driver). The period was from 9pm to 6am with only a 15-minute break every 3 hours. (Inserts hokkien, and more hokkien phrases)...Since it was so cold there cos of the chilly winds, he shivered non-stop despite wearing 4 layers of clothing. The funniest part was this: 2000 men went for this particular training and they had to travel up and down several mountains. It was late in the night. They had to drive through villages to get to their destination. At a particular village, one of the villagers came out to complain that one pregnant goat was frightened off by the noises(Imagine 2000 men travelling late at night..) made and had a miscarriage. &lt;br /&gt;The next point is ridiculous. He demanded a payment of 2K for that goat. After that, he wanted them to pay for 40 other goats because those 2000 men frightened his goats in the middle of the night. Night time robbery? -_- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm thankful for the presents!! Blessed myself with a new watch...=P All my watches are either spoilt/missing/lost.

Ya I went to Kbox to sing, knowing that I can't hit high notes and goes off-tune easily. Another learning experience for me. Kl didn't get to sing much, except for some English tracks and Stef Sun's songs. Was trying to see this white ghostly image in Zhang Xin's MV but missed it twice. Couldn't be bothered to play it for the third time cos I'd most probably miss it again, haha. So while the two of them went to the washroom, I was inside the room all alone. Guess what I did to make myself HIGH...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attempting to sing 飞轮海 - 超喜欢你!

So long overdued, tsk. The characters are silly, especially when Jiro turns 'GAY'. Heard that the last episode is bad enough. Completely DUH.

No it's not the Korean drama...But all the lanes were taken up and the next free time slot would be at 2.30. Supercue was too smokey for me to be at. The arcade wasn't even worth mentioning. Ended up walking around, ate at Thai Express where I had beef beehoon. Yep need to increase my iron intake for the blood donation! Anyway, like what the rest said, I also feel that this year's drama is one of the best! Even though the devil was so devilish "I'm going to destroy you"..

Maybe some day!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like I'm still enjoying the honeymoon period, cos the real nightmare starts from next week onwards, with lots of students coming for registration and materials collection. Maybe need to work O/T. Aw. Even though it means higher pay, I'd rather go home early and sleep my night away. It's hard not to yawn at work, but coffee really works. While waiting for 700 double-sided forms to be printed, I made myself a cup of coffee. Maybe I miss the sweet mocha taste. Energized now! What if I can't sleep tonight. Boo. Anyway did some data entry work today...Rather speedy considering there're several columns to be filled into. Faxed information may be repeated, or course codes may be written wrongly. Must check for so many things...Guess I still need to enter at least 400 more sheets(one huge stack), and still counting. At least it's something I enjoy doing. I'd rather key in data than to wait for printed documents. Waiting is so boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CB went to pasta fresca on sunday. Good food! Here's the group photo with missing members!

ZAP ZAP ZAP! Of course I do that...As a temp staff, this is almost the one and only job that I need to do so far. &lt;br /&gt;2. Stone at my desk/photocopy room. Didn't have as much time to stone today compared to yesterday cos the ex-temp staff came back and taught me how to do things.&lt;br /&gt;3. Visit the toilet as and when I feel like it. I don't even do this so often in school nor at home. It has become my favourite haunt. It's so clean that I keep entering.&lt;br /&gt;4. Refill water bottle in the pantry. Another favourite haunt of mine. Nowadays I drink at least 1.5L of water at work. No choice. The air-con blows at me all day, so need to hydrate myself often.&lt;br /&gt;5. Snack. Popping candies into my mouth, having breakfast secretly in the pantry.(can't walk around and eat right...)&lt;br /&gt;6. Checking out hunks and babes at SIM and NP during lunch breaks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's about it. Not as dull as what other temp admin people say...Other than the stoning part, I actually enjoy working(:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-116835322091599281?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/116835322091599281/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=116835322091599281' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116835322091599281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116835322091599281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2007/01/work.html' title='work'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-116818146234397661</id><published>2007-01-07T22:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-07T22:51:02.353+08:00</updated><title type='text'>chorus board wk1</title><content type='html'>It has been a great weekend serving as an observer in Chorus Board(CB). On Sat, I was stationed at the 'Side Board', while today, it was at the 'Main Board'. While observing, I tried to pick up as much as I could, though my attention span decreased today. Walked in and out of the 'freezer' room several times..Probably cos of the mild cough and lack of sleep. My first time getting so close to the songleaders and BVs. Tremendously exciting experience. It felt as if we were on a roller coaster ride. Definitely not for the faint-hearted. Immediate recovery was necessary, or else the congregation would not be able to follow. Mistakes are inevitable, but they cannot be repeated. Thank God for helping us throughout the service, ensuring the smooth delivery of the sermon despite some hiccups(not noticeable I guess) along the way. On the overall, Kelvyn says it's good job. YAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After service, the team went for lunch at Siglap together. Imagine squeezing into the back of the car with four other members(strangers?) for the first time. Somehow, I could really sense the strong team-bonding, the friendliness of every single member in Team 3. It certainly didn't give me the feeling of 'You are new here so just listen and do what I tell you!' Family. Yeah..That's the word. Glad to be part of this family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gonna work tomorrow. All the best...Have a great week ahead!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-116818146234397661?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/116818146234397661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=116818146234397661' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116818146234397661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116818146234397661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2007/01/chorus-board-wk1.html' title='chorus board wk1'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-116798346496974979</id><published>2007-01-05T15:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-05T15:52:48.476+08:00</updated><title type='text'>chccb and hair colour</title><content type='html'>This is getting exciting! After I've gotten my job, now I am officially in my ministry! My leader(service i/c) just sent me an e-mail. He is Kelvyn!! *CLAP CLAP* I am in Team 3-Operations team? According to him, I should be meddling with equipment after the training. It's observation for this weekend. Initially I thought I was put into a graphics team. Looks like they deployed me to somewhere else instead, which is good too! Cos I know it'll be a lifetime learning experience. We have our own website, COOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really need to rest well...Still in the sick mode. It's a cycle. I've been sick at the start of the year for the past two years. The fun has just begun! 2007 has kicked off with a great start! Another job offer...WAAAA =) I rejected it again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's advertisement time!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=#5B057F&gt;It's a new year...and Chinese New Year is rather round the corner(only one more month!)...It's time for a new image, a sizzling change of hair colour!!

After all, he can sing, act, looks charming from all angles in the show. OR is it because of his hair colour?? I have a fetish for actors who have blondish-brown hair. Like Jeong Hoon as Yul in Goong? Notice some resemblance...HAIR, THE HAIR!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/jamie_ger/hoonievic.jpg" height="214"; width="335"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;credits:asianfanatics.net, bbs.ctv.com.tw&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Anyway it dated back to 2001, I didn't like him, and the rest of his group. Disliked the group since then till now...Sounds childish. But looking at his performance, I find him not detestable. No interest in Jerry and Ken though. Maybe Vanness cos of 'Kangta and Vanness'. Ok, you get it. I don't like F4 as a whole. Please..I have nothing against them. It's a matter of &lt;i&gt;Like VS Dislike&lt;/i&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ha. I'm on a lucky streak. Some job agency(I don't know which cos applied for too many) called this morning, and this time round, it was I who turned down the job offer. To answer &lt;b&gt;guesswho!'s&lt;/b&gt; question, it's an admin job. Job aside, I miss school terribly. It feels lonely to be at home, without friends, tutors, even tutorials!! For the past two years in Jan, I was deeply involved in TJ's Orientation...&lt;hr&gt;&lt;font color=#393939&gt;The times where I was never late but super early for school, running around the school campus, taking the MRT and buses to the 'furthest' place like City Hall for the games, sitting at the pavilion opposite school for lunch, cheering for my clan till my voice went hoarse, travelling to Musical Fountain for our MASS dance, having late-night suppers till there were no buses to take us home.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;hr&gt;Seriously. I enjoyed all these times. Who says orientation is boring. I don't even want to crash other JCs...Haiz. Even if it means staring at the hunks in front of me, this kind of life is nowhere meaningful. Maybe I should continue with the drama and not let my thoughts run wild..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hunger pang has hit again. Let's see...Seafood ramen for lunch! What were you thinking? It's only instant noodles!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-116788830836319500?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/116788830836319500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=116788830836319500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116788830836319500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/116788830836319500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2007/01/can-i-go-back-to-school.html' title='can i go back to school?'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-116783901897833374</id><published>2007-01-03T23:38:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-04T00:10:23.866+08:00</updated><title type='text'>i want to start work YAY</title><content type='html'>Went down to Raffles Place to confirm my job, marveled at how beautiful Boat Quay is even in the day. I bet it'll be 100X better at night! That's what reg told me. Right? What a waste. I should have taken some pics there before I left. Thought I was in another dimension. Anyway. It's another matter that's worth celebrating. Thank God for the job. Even though the workplace is located far, far away from where I stay, transport is provided. Looks like I can save at least $3 a day on transport! As someone who hasn't worked before, it feels so exciting to have found one after rejected by so many companies. Oh. I just lack the clothes now. Complained to four people on how expensive MRT rides are these days. I'd rather not be an adult =( &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh. I'm left with the task of hanging out the laundry at this time. Yes, almost midnight already. YO JASMINE!! While I'm typing this, you tagged on my box again!

I &lt;b&gt;DID&lt;/b&gt; IT!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Observe this moment of excitement as I celebrate and rejoice over the new birth of my blog. Sounds like someone who've just been saved. Just like what I've predicted, it didn't last for more than three months and then was left to rot on its own. Still, re-setting up of this blog is one of my wishes! TADA!!!!! Finally the blog is up again with my beloved &lt;font color=blue&gt;DONGWAN&lt;/font&gt;. This is truly lovely. Not one, but three DONGWANs! Oh ya, plus one SER MIN =) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006's been a long year. Thank God I'm still alive and breathing, where He pours unlimited blessings unto me. Looking forward to the temporary job where hopefully, I'll gain some experience and be equipped with life skills. Also, I believe 2007 will be the best year yet! It's the time to make good use of each day to lead a fulfilling life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006 ended well, with the 4H gathering as the highlight of Dec06. After days of planning(thanks to XK who kept calling me), it worked!!! If I'm not wrong, almost the entire Bball team was around, 80% of the girls and some guys who didn't pangseh us. Hey guys(I mean guys), thanks for cooking. I feel so lousy in front of you all, cos I can't whip up something decent. Like bee hoon, cheesey macaroni, fruit salad, etc etc!! ZX... Had to beg him to fry nuggets dot dot dot. It's so fun to see all of you still in one piece, alive and kicking, joking like never before. Thanks for being a part of my life. For the first time, I laughed till I cried. Back then, we were this bunch of troublemakers who disturbed the teachers all the time. I like the pohser, pohstitute ones...HEH. All teachers walked out of the classroom at least once...That's a record. True enough, many of us have settled down. For those in poly, study hard, play hard! To the rest... Let us enjoy our holidays!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes so long to type one entry. &gt;.&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Must specially thank this person who has been an encourager to me...HUITIAN!! My cell leader...She's one wonderwoman to me. I really appreciate you a lot for the past year, especially during the pre-'A' level period. You came to my place week after week to ensure I was coping well, not getting stressed out and constantly praying for me. N283, you are my pillars of strength. It's been a tough year, but because of your support, I'm still standing strong today (: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2007, I'm ready.

i can't run the risk of letting bees come to my house once again! just spotted one that invaded my living room and when it flew out i quickly shut the windows. the air feels like it's thinning, definitely. gasp. lack of oxygen. what will the haemoglobin in my body bind to? nothing?!! oh gosh. -_- still surviving~ cos all the other windows are still opened, geez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;let me tell you why i'm so afraid of bees. or are they wasps? hm should be bees cos they aren't that big to be called wasps. ok anyway, it's like this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one fine sunny day, while i was watching tv, this flying creature made its way to my living room. **buzz buzz** oh. new friend huh...welcome! then it flew under my study table which i don't use anymore. it piled up with books and papers and files =X so it stayed there for some time while i continued watching tv. after ten minutes or so, it left! so bye!&lt;br /&gt;the next day, at about the same time, it came AGAIN! it flew, and almost banged into me. *@$%&amp;$!# is it blind or what...had to prepare a stack of newspapers to whack it just in case i get stung by a bee for nothing. after some time, it went back to the same spot-under my desk. as usual, it left in a couple of minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;i think you know what i'm going to type right now. YEAH!! it's here for the third time. something is amiss. problem #1: why is it able to recognise my place? problem #2: why does it come regularly at the same time? problem #3: it's invading into my privacy. my mom suggested we close the windows so that it's trapped outside. teeheehee. it actually worked!!!! the following day, i decided to check out its favourite spot aka under my desk. &lt;br /&gt;i found something in the holes of my desk. the bee built a nest in the holes! soil particles crumbled and fell to the ground whenever my mom whacked it. some were empty but the rest had something. EW!! mustered up my courage, armed myself with a toothpick and newspapers, i began to dig the things inside the holes......felt like an archaeologist =&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color=yellow&gt;&lt;b&gt;READ AT YOUR OWN RISK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;brownish-black, dried yet sticky, juicy, bead-like substances with hair-like structures that looked like the legs of its offsprings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;read up a bit online...the sticky portion is the nectar that the mother bee has deposited. nectar and dry pollen food provisions combine to become pollen ball where the egg is laid on. hm i wonder which stage it was...but the brood cell hasn't been closed because the bee came back! oh man. i think the bee hates me to the core...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz. beware of bees that come to your home regularly cos they're building nests in one of the many holes!! you wouldn't want free honey from such a source right...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-115717233530402845?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/115717233530402845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=115717233530402845' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115717233530402845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115717233530402845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2006/09/bad-encounters-with-bees.html' title='bad encounters with bees'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-115675410750486506</id><published>2006-08-28T16:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-28T16:35:08.006+08:00</updated><title type='text'>tw chinese dramas</title><content type='html'>when life is pretty peaceful(at home), it seems like there is nothing much to blog.&lt;br /&gt;hm cooked my own lunch, which is walnut porridge. a successful attempt at cooking porridge ever since last dec, when i went for wisdom teeth extraction. over that period i was on a fish porridge diet. 2 pots in a day...8 pots in a week...haha. fish is my favourite food(: oh yes. i tried to steam eggs last sat for lunch. guess what? steamed for 40mins but it wasn't fully cooked still! so pissed with not the egg/wok/water/gas...but with myself. laughs at my stupidity. why did the steaming take so long? it was well-cooked when i added it to instant noodles. when i came home from service, my mom told me, 'you added too much water.' hurhur. because the bowl that she told me to use was the smaller one, but i mistook it for the big one. now i know...yada yada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh &lt;i&gt;damn&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;a href="http://youtube.com"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has far too many good shows to watch. now i'm hooked onto 'the hospital' starring jerry yan, wu meng da etc. i don't know if they copied the japanese plot or if it's a new plot. since the chinese name is also 白色巨塔. by the way, if you know me well enough, you will know that &lt;b&gt;i don't like F4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/b&gt; that's why till today, i haven't bought any clothes from s&amp;k. that was an old story. i think my opinions have changed. actually jerry has a set of straight, white teeth; vanness has a hot body. lol. vic and ken. no comments. another irony here - i'm downloading 微笑PASTA as well. yes, maybe you guessed it right. i don't like cyndi and nicholas!!! full stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz. supposed to be studying but end up watching shows that won't help me ace my exams. bleahs. i need to be more disciplined. ya lor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-115675410750486506?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/115675410750486506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=115675410750486506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115675410750486506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115675410750486506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2006/08/tw-chinese-dramas.html' title='tw chinese dramas'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-115656311619578864</id><published>2006-08-26T10:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-26T12:00:55.320+08:00</updated><title type='text'>outreach</title><content type='html'>need all the help to pull up my grades. messaged my cousin and he is willing to help but rather difficult to arrange the time. somemore we live so far apart. it's like from one end to the other...oh man. going to school to approach my tutors, but i must first help myself. aiming to finish all the mcq till i get them all correct. bleahs. study break has come. prelim is coming. i feel a little freaked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;recently received weird smses from probably, a person who's affected with dementia? one moment the msg sprung up with: &lt;font color=hotpink&gt;'hi i love you. muack!'&lt;/font&gt; two days later, another msg read: &lt;font color=red&gt;'f*** you and your mother la!'&lt;/font&gt; &lt;b&gt;hello&lt;/b&gt;. firstly, i asked who the person was, but he/she didn't reply after the proclamation. and i thought maybe i wasn't the intended recipient. forget it, eh? or perhaps the person was angry with me for not remembering who he/she is since i replied 'hi do i know you?'...it's a foreign number by the way. but still, the four-letter-word sms sounds really crude and impolite. i don't think i deserve that as a stranger. ruined my day bleahs. i think he/she needs to go to imh la. need me to call for the ambulance? tsk tsk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haiz. i want to go for ice-skating outreach. like the feeling of falling, getting wet, and then standing up on my feet to skate round the rink. &lt;br /&gt;no time, no money.  not exactly no time but i know i'm not allowed to go out that often. why cross the line when you know you shouldn't?&lt;br /&gt;thought of all the outreach events in the past one year...went for yummy race, bbq, bowling. but i missed out on a few bowling sessions, kboxing, and now, ice-skating. there's more to 'study study STUDY!' in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fujiice.com.sg/images/gallery/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.fujiice.com.sg/images/gallery/6.jpg" border="0" alt="wow" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so graceful can...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-115656311619578864?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/115656311619578864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=115656311619578864' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115656311619578864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115656311619578864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2006/08/outreach.html' title='outreach'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-115641138891271812</id><published>2006-08-24T16:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-24T17:23:09.016+08:00</updated><title type='text'>unhappy shopping experiences</title><content type='html'>i don't know to count myself unlucky or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brother took &lt;s&gt;my&lt;/s&gt;his calculator and i was left without one for an entire day. rather reluctant to borrow from classmate but didn't have a choice. i can't do maths(stats) without one. was extremely excited when he told me he needed one permanently so the calculator returns to him and i get to buy a new one! happily went to sch bookshop and was told the same model costs $20 instead of the usual $16. wa. i didn't know calculator prices also can have inflation. it's an old model but how come it's more expensive? demand is greater than supply? so price increases? tsk. it's an old model. old old model.&lt;br /&gt;dragged myself to tamp instead to get one, hopefully at a reasonable price of $16 or lower. went to this shop at cs called jade gift shop. now you must be thinking, "why did i enter a shop that sells jade to look for a calculator?" foolish you. the shop sells everything(electronic goods) except jade. hahaha. alright. found the casio and sharp ones, and i decided to get the casio model. the newest, if not the second newest model! it costs a mere $20 instead of $27. 401 functions! wow. of course i get that right, and not some others with only 300 functions...so pleased with my good buy. till i took out the user guide(extra booklet). wow. this calculator can be used to compute integration, complex numbers, statistics. &lt;font size=3&gt;UH OH!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;went home immediately to check cambridge's list of approved calculators. unfortunately, i can't find that calculator model after checking not once, but at least thrice. FAINTS. it's not there. it's fated that i'm not destined to own a new calculator. i am so sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another happy-turned-sad shopping experience today. bought dove shampoo and conditioner cos the second item is on 50% discount. wow. little did i realise the second item only applies to treatment products. conned, again. argh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as an avid radio1003 listener cum supporter, i personally went down to besta counter at tm popular bookstore to sign and show my support for radio shows. it's called "wo yao guang bo ju - wan ren lian shu". i wonder how many actually know and listen to the successful 100 episodes of "2530". but it is expensive to produce one entire series because it's hard to get sponsors. right now they need 10000 signatures so that there will be more of such shows coming up in the future. maybe it might not benefit you that much if you don't listen to chinese radio stations. even so, if you happen to be near these places, just go to the besta counter and sign ok? very quick and easy task!

translates into &lt;font color=violet&gt;authority&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;this is true in the society. the educated are normally those who hold higher positions. right? so if you want others to obey you, then get equipped and be a knowledgeable person!&lt;br /&gt;2)&lt;font color=red&gt;love&lt;/font&gt; is &lt;font color=red&gt;centred in the will&lt;/font&gt;, not emotions.&lt;br /&gt;you love because you choose to love, and you make a commitment to that choice. if you're forced to love, then that is not true love. oh, he illustrated on 'one cannot fall in/out of love'...because there is only the choice to love, or not to love. &lt;br /&gt;3)you &lt;font color=green&gt;cannot disobey without obeying&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;at first i was like, 'huh?!' then he enlightened us, saying, when you disobey one, you are actually obeying the other. hm. makes sense right.&lt;br /&gt;4)we live in a &lt;font color=blue&gt;cause and effect&lt;/font&gt;

work when they are in &lt;font color=orange&gt;divine order&lt;/font&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;if you organise your life, you life is free. that's because there is order. order demands a clear plan of action. if there is a problem, bring order to the problem and then begin to address it. understand? to be effective in life demands order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then there was this part on songs. on the first night...p&amp;w started with "the time has come" and "great is our god". guess what. i wrote the lyrics on my new yellow foolscap on the same week. how coincidental is that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;the time has come&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;found love beyond all reason&lt;br /&gt;you gave your life you all for me&lt;br /&gt;and called me yours forever&lt;br /&gt;caught in the mercy fallout&lt;br /&gt;i found hope, found life, found all i need&lt;br /&gt;you're all i need&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the time has come to stand for all we believe in&lt;br /&gt;so i for one i'm gonna give my praise to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today today it's all or nothing&lt;br /&gt;all the way the praise goes out to you&lt;br /&gt;yeah all the praise goes out to you&lt;br /&gt;today today i live for one thing&lt;br /&gt;to give you praise in everything i do&lt;br /&gt;yeah all the praise goes out to you&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-115605923770488165?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/115605923770488165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=115605923770488165' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115605923770488165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115605923770488165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2006/08/to-be-salt-and-light-of-world.html' title='to be the salt and light of the world'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-115580804015342584</id><published>2006-08-17T17:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-17T18:31:14.010+08:00</updated><title type='text'>exam stress</title><content type='html'>it's been a few days. finally the week is coming to an end. byebye tests!!! it has come to a halt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color=hotpink&gt;yay no more test tomorrow!&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;feel rather accomplished this week but it's like exams are nearing and i'm still not in the right gear yet. typed the sgc which i postponed for so long. the teacher vetted, but didn't edit anything except that i was told to type 'teejaycee' in full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;received prelim timetable yesterday. &lt;font color=blue&gt;h&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=fushcia&gt;i&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=skyblue&gt;g&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=limegreen&gt;h&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=hotpink&gt;l&lt;/font&gt;i&lt;font color=red&gt;g&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=teal&gt;h&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=magnenta&gt;t&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=violet&gt;e&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=orange&gt;d&lt;/font&gt;, stared, gasped, stoned. seven days of exams altogether. been having so many tests this week that i can hardly breathe. bleahs. bio, chem, gp, chem, bio, ha! luckily no maths, but next week will have mock exam. perhaps it'll be a good practice to see how unprepared i am. when revision lecture was on yesterday, i seriously realise how badly i need to brush up my integration and all the rest. can't even spot the mistakes printed. and every time i do maths i get so stuck that i stone on the spot. stoning is an art. ya right. i stone too much these days, and for all the past years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today had my 2.4run. firstly thank God for the timing for C grade if i'm not wrong. it's a C and not a D right. 15:17. slow and steady. i wonder how many people actually lapped me but that can't be helped. even though i have the determination and willpower, possessing resilience, strong and muscular legs, a willing heart, it doesn't help much. i have lousy stamina =( anyway the same thing happened every year. every one chiong to the maximum, ran like it's the last run(but true, it's our last pe lesson, laughs..). still i'm glad napfa is all over, and i'm getting my &lt;font color=gold&gt;gold&lt;/font&gt;, not &lt;font color=silver&gt;silver&lt;/font&gt;

WOW. so common can. always do that stunt during orientations...&lt;br /&gt;though i didn't take away much from the workshop, but it definitely gave me an idea of what is the key to success in life. now i can only remember them saying: accurate thinking is the key to success. other than that i could hardly recall what they(he) said. oh. one speaker spoke 95% of the time, the other guy clicked on the mouse 98% of the time. then they gave us this quiz to do, which was on the seven components that made up resilience. the sector that i scored the lowest was: reaching out. oh God, make me a better evangelist please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ice-cream for ten cents..cheap cheap oi... this is what you get on the last day of fund raising. how does it benefit the students? &lt;br /&gt;i had this conversation with the ice-cream man, who is my friend. oh wells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;friend: buy ice-cream! cheap cheap. ten cents for one scoop only.&lt;br /&gt;me: huh. don't want lah... don't feel like eating it.&lt;br /&gt;friend: ten cents for two scoops, ok?! ok?!!!&lt;br /&gt;me: don't want lah... later then find you.&lt;br /&gt;***after my lunch***&lt;br /&gt;me: what flavours are there?&lt;br /&gt;friend: we only have vanilla. this guy, XX, bought a tub for $1!! it has the durian taste also!&lt;br /&gt;me: (gives the -_- face). ok, how come there's only vanilla? anything...give me one scoop then...&lt;br /&gt;friend: (hands over a spoon with a scoop of ice-cream), exclaiming, "sorry, we JUST ran out of cups!"&lt;br /&gt;me: (gives another -_- face). err. ooookk....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now, take a look at my ice-cream:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3311/197/1600/DSC00052.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3311/197/200/DSC00052.jpg" border="0" alt="the vanila ice-cream" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's always good to give to the student welfare fund, but it's always good to go somewhere else for ice-cream. tsk tsk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my white adidas bag has arrived!! mq, see you on mon, hug hug!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32434980-115536405839918351?l=likeafire-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/feeds/115536405839918351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32434980&amp;postID=115536405839918351' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115536405839918351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32434980/posts/default/115536405839918351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://likeafire-.blogspot.com/2006/08/resilient-enough.html' title='resilient enough?'/><author><name>Janelle</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434980.post-115518612899770074</id><published>2006-08-10T12:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-17T18:32:16.893+08:00</updated><title type='text'>yoyo</title><content type='html'>look at what i found in my drawer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3311/197/1600/DSC00029.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3311/197/200/DSC00029.jpg" border="0" alt="my long-lost fren=&gt;yoyo" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lol. how cool is that. but i realise i can't even 'walk the dog' now.. hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pe days are gonna be over soon, right after my 2.4run. obviously it hasn't ended yet. cleared the 5 items and all i just hope is i get at least a C for my run.
