Inspired by grandma's blog, i'm gonna dedicate this entry to the places that i realli wish to visit... Places that i
must visit so that i can sae that i've lived this life wif no regrets.
Firstly, there's Japan. I juz watched Happy Sundae this afternoon and S.H.E. visited Hokkaido, a realli scenic and serene place.
I realli love places wif beautiful natural scenery, and thus, my love for Hokkaido... S.H.E. were at this place (whose name i din catch) where there's as many as 11 outdoor hot springs! I can juz imagine myself dipping in the springs in that freezing weather and enjoying the view of snow mountains juz a distance away... Spectacular!
I wld like to see the Tokyo Tower as well... It looks realli nice at nite...
Next, of coz, is Korea...
I'm not realli a big fan of Korean serials, but i realli fell in love wif the picturesque scenery shown in dramas like 'Winter Sonata', 'Autumn in my Heart' and 'Loving You'... It's juz so... Indescribable...
I would oso like to visit Hawaii...
White sand beaches, palms, swayed by the light ocean breeze, crystal clear water, endless summer. Paradise...
Following that, there's Paris.
The city of romance. Who can eva resist it? (The structure in the rite photo is the Grande Arch De La Defense.)
Not forgetting, beautiful Venice...
A captivating city of canals and palaces... Oozing a certain subdued charm...
The perfect place to spend ur honeymoon - Switzerland...
Breathtaking scenery. Ski resorts. The world's bez chocolates. Wat else can anyone ask for?
There's still many places that i wanna go that r not mentioned... Places in Europe, places in North and South America... It'll take daes for me to list them down one by one. Hai the thing is, will i be able to travel to all these places in this life? Will i be able to realise my dream if i start saving now? I seriously doubt so, it simply costs too much to travel abroad, let alone go to so many destinations... Will Santa make my wish come true?

Yawn... Guez wat? I juz woke up at 1pm haha. Life is so
boring nowadaes (eva since i came home from my hostel on thurs), there's nothing to look forward to when u wake up, so u'll subconsciously tend to sleep longer hrs... Well, that's my own theory.
Argh life is realli boring at home... It's either reading, watching tv or using the com... And there's no one to go out wif me! =( Besides, going out means spending money, and i certainly dun have much money to spend oso... I realli wanna get a job quick so as to occupy my time and earn some cash! So anyone out there who has any job lobangs (or juz purely wanna get me to go out haha) pls leave me a note! Hehe thanks a lot! =)
Let's update on the Singapore Idol situation... My dream has come true, my 2 favs r now the finalists of the competition! I was so scared that
Olinda wun get voted off on fri coz that will mean that either 1 of my favs will go out! Fortunately for me, that din happen. Wat Ken Lim said was true, Olinda doesn't have the idol appeal, and personally, i dun like her voice. She's always trying to gek the 'deep' voice in all the songs she sing, and it juz turns me off. Y can't she juz sing naturally, that wld have sounded much better! Anywae now that the last 2 standing r Taufik and Sly, i've decided who to vote for already (i have onli voted once, that was during the wildcard round when i so desperately wanted Maia to get in!)... I will vote
Taufik, seriously. Eva since like a mth ago, i've sorta switched allegiance from Sly to Taufik coz i think he definitely sings better and he's realli a natural (at singing)! When he starts singing in falsetto, it's like wow... Mesmerising! Hey that doesn't mean i no longer like Sly, he's still my 2nd fav! But i guez he has enuff female fans (both young and old) to vote for him no matter how his performance goes (esp now that he's involved in the money scandal), so i'll save my votes for Taufik instead. I hope Taufik can win, coz i think he realli deserves to be the Singapore Idol! =) So all the bez to Taufik and Sly, do put in ur bez for the finals! No matter how the competition goes eventually, u r both winners to me already! Rock on!

Accompanied my bro to the
Creative Fair juz now... Fortunately, the crowd was not as large as expected, probably coz todae's a weekdae and most ppl r working... Juz imagine the no. of ppl that will turn up tmr and on sundae (the fair lasts for 3 daes)...
Well my bro went there to buy the newly released Creative MuVo Sport C100 which looks like this:
It has a built-in stopwatch and FM radio, and can contain up to 256 MB of songs... It isn't exactly my type, but since my bro is veri much of a sports guy, i guez it realli suits him.
Anywae all the items featured at the fair r at super low prices, so if u have some time this weekend, do go down and check it out!

Warning: This is gonna be a long entry, so get ready some popcorn and, perhaps, a large coke as well.
8 hrs has passed since the last 'pens down'. Pure relief. That's wat i'm feeling now. No i'm not delirious, i'm juz veri veri relieved that it's all over. Over for good.
This is the 1st time in my life... That after a series of major exams, i'm not feeling immensely happy. In fact, i'm feeling a little down now. Perhaps even a little scared.
This is the 1st time in my life... That i spent 1 whole mth of mugging 24/7. I've been sleeping on the average of like 4 hrs a dae... When i wake up early in the morning, i mug. During meal times, i take time off to cook (i've been eating 80% of my own cooking for the past 2 weeks), and when i return, i mug. At 3 am, when most ppl r already asleep, i'm still mugging. Never (i emphasize the word '
never') in my life have i mugged so intensively, that if u were to ask me wat mth/date/day it was, i seriously wld not knoe. I've lost touch wif the whole of the outside world, i dunno wat's happening ard me at all. Every dae it's a routine - eat, mug, sleep and wake up to mug again. Trust me, u wun knoe wat it's like till u've been thru it. (Ask anyone in NTU rite now, u wld knoe i'm not kidding.)
This is the 1st time in my life... That i stayed away from home for almost 2 weeks. I've been mugging here at my hall, as it's the onli place i can realli sit down and focus 200% on mugging. It's not that bad actualli and i dun miss home that much (my parents came to visit me wif good food last weekend!), and i'm realli loving this 'nest' of mine like crazee. I love mopping the floor of my own room, washing my own clothes, cooking my own meals etc... U get my pt.
This is the 1st time in my life... That i felt so drained and so stressed up and had difficulty breathing while i was preparing for exams. The stress is realli indescribable, seriously. Who was the one who said that uni exams r easy stuff, u juz need to get a pass?! I promise if i managed to dig u out, u'll kiss the sole of my shoe.
This is the 1st time in my life... That i dun feel confident of passing any of the papers i took. I worked hard, but the papers r juz too tough for me... I even made a big blunder for my 1st paper (accounting) - I tot the paper ends at 4.30 instead of 4, and when the examiner shouted 'pens down', i was so shocked that i cried. I left ard 30 marks worth of qns untouched (the paper is 100 marks by the wae). Todae's last paper (FM) was the hardest paper among the 4 i've taken, and i swear i felt like crying when i was attempting the qns. I feel so disheartened after every paper, simply coz i din even have the chance to apply wat i've been studying for weeks. I feel like all my effort has gone to waste... Wat can i sae? I'm so scared of failing, i dun wanna retake any subjs...
So here i am now, sitting here and blogging this long entry, and feeling down. Stupid isn't it? Many of my classmates r dancing the nite away at Zouk and Chinablack now, some r singing ktv till dawn... Everyone is celebrating... I feel like celebrating too, but i juz dun have the mood to. Someone help me chase the blues away...
P.S: I wanna sae jia you and bez of luck to everyone out there who's still having exams/preparing for their exams... Take care u guys and it's gonna be over soon... Esp to grandma: Hang in there for 4 more daes!
P.P.S: Leandra went out last fri. Wat a waste of talent... And a few hrs ago, Daphne is finally eliminated. Juz go back and continue studying lah... Ur rendition of 'Ni Yao De Ai' is the worst thing i've heard in years (i bet everyone agrees wif me). Special mention about Taufik: Ur voice and ur songs r starting to make us all swoon... U r doing great, continue to give ur bez!
