Do you know that everyday 12 people die from cancer? Out of these 12, 2 are kids.
AND....
Do you know that 24 people are diagnosed with cancer everyday?
Yes, this is the reality of the world. No one can predict what will happen to yourself the next minute or tomorrow. We all know that the cost of the treatment is not cheap at all. For every 6-months, one will need at least 16K to undergo all the necessary treatments. For an average family, if the monthly income is around 1K, they wont be able to afford the treatment at all.
What can we do to help them?
DONATE! I don't ask you to donate millions of dollars at one go. All I'm asking is just donating a small amount of $38 per month. That is equivalent to $1.26 daily. I'm sure everyone is able to do that. If you can afford to watch a movie every week, then I'm sure you are able to donate this $1.26 daily.
A little kindness goes a long way. (^_^)
So, what are you waiting for? Do it today! :) :) :)

Deeply touched :)
I was reading the Strait Times online when I chance upon this article "Teen's organs save 8".
I was deeply touched by what the family had done. It is true that to make such a decision is not easy and it takes courage to do that. One has to think, losing someone so dear to you is not something you can forget in 1 day, 10 years down the road or maybe forever.
But, come to think of it, would you be kind enough to others and not let them go through the hurt and sense of lost that you're experiencing now? I believe some will but many won't. Although we are living in a 21st century, everyone's more open-minded to different ways of life, many still think that we come to this world as a whole, we should also leave as one whole. Yes, I agree to a certain extent that it's only right to come and leave as one whole being. However, if I do get to help anyone, be it a small kid or an old lady, I'll definitely helped them. By giving them something that I don't need it anymore (since I'm already dead), and grant them years to live on, I think it's something not everyone can do it.
I think it's a good thing to donate some part of you to others because once you're gone, your family and loved ones will miss you so much. But they can find some 安慰 that some part of you is still living in this world.
Life's short (very short in fact!), so treasure your loved ones, friends and your neighbors (LOL)! Spend more time with them, give them a hug (or even a KISS!) and tell them that they are always in your heart.
It doesn't take much energy to tell someone "I love you", you just need to say it from your heart and that's all it takes to brighten someone's day up! :) :) :)
So, have you brighten someone's day up yet? ^_^!!!

Happy Mother's Day! :) :) :)
It's the 1st Sunday of the month...so...that means it's MOTHER'S DAY! :) :) :)
hehe! Yeah! The most important and dearest person in our lives is our mummy (of course, we can't forget about our dad ^_^). She's the one that has to carry us in her tummy for 9 months, go through the pain of bringing us to this world and that's not the end of it. She continues to look after our daily needs, making sure we got food in our stomach, clothes to wear and have a proper education. Even after we're grown-up, she will still continue to nag at us, even though it's sometimes irritating, we know that it's all for our own good.
We might quarrel over small things, fight over tiny miny stuff, but our bond is always there. Because you're my mum and I'm your dearest daughter. For that, I'm truely happy that I got you as my mum.
Mother's day falls on every year and every year we just had a meal together as a family. Though it's simple, but deep down it means alot to all of us, watching you smile when each of us give you a chicken dumbstick to eat. It's our way of showing you our love for you.

I got myself allocated to Dr Gan for my Final Year Project (FYP)!!! *Wheee!* I was kind of worried cause I only approached one professor and didn't have any back-up plans. One thing settled, another comes along, IA final report. :( :( :( I have been trying to write at least 3 pages a day but so far didn't have much luck at all! I supposed I need some stress to push me forward if not I'll just laze around and do slowly. ~~URGH!!!~~
Hopefully I can finish all my logbooks (both NTU and ICES) and final report in time! :) After that, I'm going to enjoy life for awhile before starting on my FYP and the new academic year!
Looking forward to the CoE skit and MSE FOC camp in July!!! *wheee!*

I took the whole Sunday clearing/tidying up my room, from washing of bedsheets to clearing my dolls and throwing away old clothes! What a hectic day for me! :( Though it's tiring but now I felt much better with lesser stuff in my room, so more space for me to walk and laze around! :) :) :)
Happen to dig out all the handphone boxes and realised that I'm a super big fan of SAMSUNG! *wheee!* Honestly, who wouldn't like Samsung phones? I mean their design is cool and stylish. Some suitable for guys and some really is meant for ladies to use! :) heex!
All necessary functions are incooperated inside the phone. Camera, Bluetooth, etc. One thing Samsung should really consider is Wifi! I have been trying to find a phone with Wifi functions but currently there's only Samsung Omnia and Samsung Innov8, but I don't really need such a good (and also expensive) phone yet! 
Samsung Omnia
Samsung Innov8
So I stick with my Samsung F480 (and it's PINK!!!) What's so good about this phone? 1st of all, it's slim! So you can save some space in your bag *LOL!*!! And the camera is 5 megapixel with face detection and Smile shots! Haha! If you love to take pictures but don't always carry a camera around, this phone is for you! :) :) :)
Samsung F480 (Pink!) /giggles!

Finally, I get to try out Aston Specialties at East Coast Road :) :) :)
Food
Most of the meals served with 2 other sides order from potato salad all the way to onion rings.
Black Pepper Fish ( with Potato Salad & Tasty rice) SGD7.20
The fish was nicely grilled with a bit of crisp on the outside and juicy in the inside. The meat was soft and sweet, so it's was definitely fresh. The black pepper sauce that comes with it was good. It has a strong peppery taste and when you eat it with the fish, it explodes it your mouth (I love the sauce!).
The potato salad uses the red-skin potato so it's definitely more tasty. But the tasty rice was off our expectations because there wasn't any taste in it (Not even butter taste!). It's as though you're eating plain rice.
Hickory BBQ Chicken (with Onion Rings & Coleslaw) SGD6.50
The chicken was nicely done and the bbq sauce wasn't that sourish (unlike some of the restaurant). Quite a nice combination because the chicken was marinated with some herbs (I guess) and when you eat it there's some other taste besides the sauce itself.
I love the Coleslaw (very much!) because it's a bit of sourish which helps to open up your appetite and the veggies are very crunchy! :) *yummY!*
Cream of Mushrooms (with toasted Garlic Bread)
Lots of mushrooms it in and the cream wasn't that thick for you to swallow down. The taste wasn't that bitter too (I have tried some really bitter cream of mushrooms >.<"). Very simple dish. The portion of the food was just nice for me. But I guess for guys, might not be that filling, so I suggest getting another side orders.
Services
The queue was super long when we reached outside (around 6.30pm). They will hand you the menu so you can have a look through and decide on what's going to be on your table for your dinner. From what I see, they doesn't go with the first come first serve basis. As long as there's table for 2, they will let you in first even though there's still queue in front of you. If you're going as a big group, I guess you might have to wait a longer time.
I waited quite long for my chicken (and it's really long because people that came later had already finished half of their food before my dinner turns up). It's either they forgot my orders or they messed it up with other tables. As part of their services, they gave me the Cream of Mushrooms (on the house!) to compensate for the waiting time.
Ambiance
A small restaurant with a high demand of customers (thus, the super long queue). It was a cosy place but a bit too squeeze-y (until you can hear what the people is talking besides your table). But I think it's good place for a dinner with your loved ones and friends at affordable rates.

Just celebrated NTU Dearies April Babies birthday! :) :) :) Considering that everyone's busy with IA work and FYP selection, the attendance was good. Thank you all for turning up! *wheee!*
Simple Celebration, dinner @ Mellben Seafood (AMK) with lots of yummy yummy food. Throughout the dinner, it was as though the whole family finally gather together, sitting around the table and chit-chatting among ourselves, updating on each other's status. I miss you guys lots and lots, especially my Honey! *heex!*
Hand-made cards for all April Babies! *Hope you guys like it!* :) :) :)
After dinner, we debate quite a long time before deciding to go the The Coffee Connoisseur (TCC) at the International Building (opposite Far East Plaza). Unfortunately, it was packed with people (it's a Saturday night!), so we went on to The Big O @ Wheelock Place.
Birthday Cakes for all Babies! :) :) :) *yum yum yum!*
One big family! *Cheers to all!*

Just came back from KL short getaway! (About one week ago, heex!) :) Overall the whole trip cost me around SG315 (including the Coach services to and fro, 2 nights of accommodation and spending).
Coach Services from 5 Star travel (SGD75)
For the convenience, I decided to buy the coach tickets from 5 Stars since they have a travel agency branch at Jurong Point outlet. The good thing about 5 Stars is that they are able to drop and pick us up at the hotel that we're staying in: Royale Bintang Hotel. In this way, we are to check-in faster and have a later check-out. But if you're planning to have a comfortable 5-hours of journey, I suggest Glassland agency as they've better coach services (of course with higher prices).
Accommodation @ Royale Bintang Hotel (MYR 218 per night, around SGD92)
I had stayed in this hotel with my family once during my 1st trip to KL. I think that the location of the hotel is good (along the Bukit Bintang Road) and they have good services. It is a 4-star hotel so I think the prices are considered reasonable. The room is big enough for us and it's clean with all the necessary facilities. The only meal we had in the hotel is the breakfast (inclusive of the accommodation price). It's a buffet style which serves different variety of food from Western to Asian delights. If you're planning to have a shopping trip in KL, this hotel is highly recommended because once you step out of the hotel, walk straight ahead is a whole stretch of shopping malls for you to shop till you drop! ^_^!!! There's also the subway stations located just 5 minutes from the hotel, so you can travel around KL easily without having to worry about the never die traffic jam! :)
I didn't spend much in KL because it wasn't their sales period. Without the sales, the things there are considered expensive since it's around the same price as compared to Singapore (if not, even more). Instead of doing shopping, we went to the KL Convention Center (KLCC) to try our luck to go up the Petronas Twin Tower. Unfortunately, we did not manage to do so. They only offered 1300 tickets daily (for free) and I was told that tourists usually start to queue for the tickets as early as 6am in the morning even though the ticket office opens at 830am. You'll be able to go up the 42nd floor where the sky bridge is and have a magnificent view of KL. However, you'll only be able to stay on the bridge for 10 minutes only. So, if you really get to step up so high in the sky, make full use of the time because I think it's going to be really beautiful up there! :) :) :)
Aquaria KLCC which is located inside the KLCC itself is considered one of the largest oceanarium in south-east Asia. If you're a student, remember to bring along your student card because you get to have a discounted price of MYR25 (adult price is MYR38) even though you're not their citizen. They have a really long plexiglass tunnel for us to walkthrough and see sharks and other species of fishes swimming beside you or above your head. If you have seen the Underwater World in Sentosa, Aquaria KLCC is something that is beyond your imagination.
Berjaya Times Square is the largest shopping mall in Malaysia (located just behind Royale Bintang Hotel) with the largest Borders bookshop, Cold Storage in South-east asia. Inside the shopping mall is the largest indoor themepark: Cosmo's World Theme Park. If you like those super exciting roller coaster and rides that make you go dizzy, this is the place for you! :) Besides having all the shops and theme parks, they also have a cinema that shows latest movies. One thing different about them is that at different timings, they have different prices for the tickets. Interesting right? :)
Lots of good food to explore and enjoy along the streets and bargain prices for shopping! KL is definitely one of the must-go place for a relaxing holiday! :) :) :)

Just started on my driving theory lessons. OMG! I thought basic should be quite easy but then during practicing I failed 2 out of 3 booklets. Yeah, don't laugh ok?! Hmmm I supposed I didnt read my book properly or it's because the whole room is full of foreign workers! Hahaha! :) I'm going to try my luck again this coming Thursday. Hopefully this time round, there isn't much people around because it can get really cramped!
Anyway, it's going to be a super long journey for me and I don't really looked forward. I can only prayed hard I don't get myself in trouble. Especially during driving on the road. Don't worry guys, I'll inform you guys beforehand to look out for me if I'm on the road. Just stay clear and you all should be fine ^_^
*Looking forward to the long weekend! Wheeee!!!*

:) Happen to chance upon this picture and I was mesmerized! The picture speak a thousand words, from the soon sun-set to the clear water and also from the photographer himself. I think it's not an easy task to take such pictures. Wouldn't it be a sight if you happen to be at that place at that time and you looking through the water?

^_^! It's the 2nd time to try out the Gelare Ice-cream! HeeX! This time round, we try their main course before having our waffle ice-cream. I had the Roasted Chicken sandwich, which is super big portion. I'm already 3/4 full when I finished the whole sandwich! :) The sandwich is crispy and filled with veggies! It serves with a side salad and chips. I think it's quite affordable for students (around $9.90 per portion).
The waffle ice-cream is still so delicious from the last time I tried! :) This time I get to try more favours: Mocha Chips, Cookies N Cream (my FAVOURITE!), Chocolate Overload, Wild Strawberry, Berry "something" (with a bit of alcohol) and many more.
By the time we finish our 2 waffles ice-cream, our stomach-s are already filled to the brim! :) So we decide to go walk walk around so that can help us to digest some food!
Tried to take some 自拍 pictures but to no avail! *giggles!* In the end, a super nice lady help us to take a picture with a nice background! *thanks!*
Next we went on to SwissHotel (Right above CityHall MRT Station). I didn't know that we can go all the way up to level 70. HEex! It's was indeed a spectecular view! You can see almost part of the City area in Singapore. Clarke Quay, Singapore River, Padang, Fullerton Hotel, etc. It's almost like Hong Kong night view, with sparklings lights from all the buildings. Try going up there someday and enjoy the view! ^_^!!!
Ohh, btw, you should also go and try out their ladies! ^_^! You'll be stunned by what's inside the toilet! (I think we spend 20 minutes inside taking pictures! =.=") /giggles!
Ice creams making us happy and FULL! :)
Singapore's really beautiful at night! ^_^!

Yeah, it's been a super long time since I had a beer, and I've been longing to try out this place Wala Wala at Holland Village for a long time. So...off we go (straight after work, ZAI right? ^_^) and made our way there.
The Pub:
The place has a quiet and cool atmosphere. The lower deck mostly served food (and drinks as well) and cater to large group of people. You can also watch soccer there (if there's match), but remember it might get really hot since it's not air-conditioned. But no worries, just go on up to the upper deck and you'll feel much cooler there. They also served food and drinks upstairs but it's abit cramp so if you guys are going in a big group, be prepared to separate yourselves out (in different tables). Go earlier (to avoid the peak hours) and you will be able to find plenty of tables.
Food & Beverages:
They served mostly pizzas and pastas. Though there's also a list of snacks you can choose from. We tried their Seafood pizza (YUMMY!) and also the Parma Ham Pizza (which I don't really like because of the ham). The toppings are more than enough and the crust is crispy (crispy thin pizza) and it's really HOT! (good food is always served hot!) We also ordered their Wala Wala Chicken Wings and yes, it's delic-ious! ^_^!!!
A long list of beers and wines is available. And as long as you ordered from opening hours till 9pm, you'll get the 1-for-1 promotion. Yeah, so it's quite affordable for us students (currently working on a very low allowances) to enjoy our beer there.
Live Band:
We decided to go on Thursday because The UnXpected will be there. I must say, they're really GOOD! Enjoyed myself with their music. ^_^! They sing at different pubs so check out their schedule here.
Overall, it was an enjoyable night (though at the end, we're really tired!). I'll definitely go back there sometime soon! This time round, I'll make sure that the next day is not a working day, so I'll be able to drink more! *giggles!*
You guys rocks! ^_^!!!

But no worries, just go on up to the upper deck and you'll feel much cooler there. They also served food and drinks upstairs but it's abit cramp so if you guys are going in a big group, be prepared to separate yourselves out (in different tables). Go earlier (to avoid the peak hours) and you will be able to find plenty of tables.
Food & Beverages:
They served mostly pizzas and pastas. Though there's also a list of snacks you can choose from. We tried their Seafood pizza (YUMMY!) and also the Parma Ham Pizza (which I don't really like because of the ham). The toppings are more than enough and the crust is crispy (crispy thin pizza) and it's really HOT! (good food is always served hot!) We also ordered their Wala Wala Chicken Wings and yes, it's delic-ious! ^_^!!!
A long list of beers and wines is available. And as long as you ordered from opening hours till 9pm, you'll get the 1-for-1 promotion. Yeah, so it's quite affordable for us students (currently working on a very low allowances) to enjoy our beer there.
Live Band:
We decided to go on Thursday because The UnXpected will be there. I must say, they're really GOOD! Enjoyed myself with their music. ^_^! They sing at different pubs so check out their schedule here.
Overall, it was an enjoyable night (though at the end, we're really tired!). I'll definitely go back there sometime soon! This time round, I'll make sure that the next day is not a working day, so I'll be able to drink more! *giggles!*
You guys rocks! ^_^!!!Thursday, March 12, 2009
Recently, I got fascinated with the advertisement on the MRT. It's from the Carls Junior and they are advertising their new burger "Original Thickburger", 100% Angus Beef. It is more than just a piece of meat, cause it's really thick and juicy.
Anyway, I'm not here to promote their burger, but to show that sometimes Singaporean really can't take a joke, or they're thinking way too much. Just recently, an article appearing on the "MyPaper" dated Thursday March 12th 2009, some Singaporean feels that the advertisment on the subway is too "sex-related" and that it will lead to lots of other meanings, which in turn make her feel insulted.
Well, honestly, all Carls Jr marketing people do is to advertise their burger in a more unusual way to attract customers. They did not break the rules and regulations stated under the "Singapore Advertisments Rules" and it's being approved of before these posters are on pasted on the subway. AND, I think it's the lady herself that think too much of the words. Pictures of the burger is around the train, so it's obviously promoting the burger and NOT talking about some other "stuff" that insulted her! I think we're all living in a modern city, sometimes, it's good to have an open mind. Yes, we can't stop you from thinking about other "stuff" but the next time you wish to complain about some posters (that make you feel insulted), think first what does it hurts to do things in a more unusual way that helps to promote and market their products.
I enjoyed seeing these advertisments on the subway and I think their marketing is successful because lots of people still go for their burgers!
PS: I just love Carls Jr slogan! Keep up the good work guys! ^_^!!!
Let's see the super thick burger here!

It's really sad to hear about the news about the NTU student committing suicide after stabbing his Professor. Sometimes, it just need something to trigger a person to do something stupid. You might regret later but it's never correct to end your life. By ending your life won't solve any problems, you will only bring sorrow to your loved ones.
Here I am, saying all this, but sometimes I do think that it's best if I can just disappear from this world. I don't feel like giving anyone any explanation for whatever decisions I made. Because I can't explain to you. It's just my own decisions and how my brain thinks. Unless you're able to read my mind, I won't be able to tell you why this. You might think I'm selfish but this is how I think and feel.
But...right now it's not time to disappear...cause there are still a lot of stuff that I can't let go YET.
My family...Friends...my bed...my cupboard...my netbook...everything that really belongs to me...
No it's not time to go yet.

What can you do when you have nothing to do (while working) and trying to make time pass faster? Guess?...?...? YES! That's right! Take pictures!!! ^__^ With a bunch of friends of course! :)
The goggles are so big make my face look a bit smaller? :)
Smiles!!! This is the first time we are slacking inside the lab ^_^! And bosses not around so can play around *lol!*

Yeah I know I'm supposed to be working now..but...my reaction is super duper slow so can slack a bit bit ^_^!!! FINALLY!!! Jurong Island is raining! I mean really really big rain! Until all you see is just a blur sight. I think raining is good make the air fresher and easier to breathe. But makes us all drowsy (especially after lunch) and want to take a quick nap. *_*
Time seems to pass quite fast when there's work to do. I supposed that's a good thing since I cant wait for holidays to start again. I think have been craving for holidays until these few weeks just feel like slacking at home instead of going work. :)
4 more months of IA to go!!! *wHEE!*

I have never done any DIY facial before. WHY? 1) I don't know what to mix with what and 2) I'm kinda lazy to do these stuff. Until recently, I realised that my skin abit "CUI"!! It's getting abit more dry. Is it telling me that I'm getting older? *Ohh DEAR!!!*
So...early in the morning I woke up and prepare a simple DIY facial mask. Nothing fancy just egg white and honey!!! ^_^!
Honey softens and is a great egg white addition. Mix one egg white with a tablespoon of honey and a drop of essential orange oil. Smooth on your face and let dry for maybe 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
I wouldn't say that you can see the effect straight after you wash off the mask. But it's kinda leave a cooling and fresh feel on your face. I think besides doing all these facial mask, having enough sleep and drinking more water are essentials to having good skin. :)
Egg whites with honey! :)

Someone gave me a very interesting example to describe how a relationship works.
Imagine you & your partner are lost in a forest. All you had was a packet of match sticks and trees (No torch light!). Say the GIRL has the match stick and the GUY is the one in-charge of providing the wood for burning. If the GUY doesnt want to chop down trees, there isnt any chance of setting up a fire and both of them will be living in darkness. But if the GIRL doesnt want to help light up the match sticks, even with the wood, it wont burn by itself.
I think it takes 2 to make a relationship works. If one doesnt want to be part of the relationship, then let it go. Keeping him/her by your side will only hurt the both of you. But remember, never make a rush decisions. THINK carefully!
**Ks, thank you for spending time talking to me. Finally I understand how to de-stress myself and live my life fully! /Appreciate!**

My 1st Blood Donation!!!
Happy Valentine's DaY!!! Yupz! It's supposed to be a loving day filled with joy and laughter and happines! Unfortunately, it doesnt happen to me. :'( But it's alright, cause I did something more meaningful!
I went for my 1st BLOOD DONATION!!! *whEE!* Why Valentine Day? I think it's double meaningful because not only you're helping to save life, you can also go with your loved one to do it together. Share the joy and happiness together with one another. It's really nice to see couples going there together and also families (the dad will be explaining to his kids that donating blood is not painful but a meaningful thing). It's a warm feeling in HSA (Bloodbank @Health Science Authority) seeing so many people waiting for turn. I waited for almost 3 hours to complete everything (from registration to medical check-up to blood test to donating blood).
Since this is my 1st time donating, the donar aides there are extremely friendly to me. They make me super comfortable while on the lying chair waiting. Blankets for me and many of them will come to you and asked "Are you feeling ok?", always with a smile on their face. I learnt of some facts today:
1) One must be at least 45kg to donate blood. If you weigh from 45 to 49.5kg (estimate), you will donate 300mL of blood. If you weigh more than 50kg, you will be donating 450mL of blood. (I'm not sure whether you can donate more than 450mL of blood.)
2) Donating Blood is NOT PAINFUL!!! Before they insert the super big needle (to suck your blood out, *lol!*), they will inject you with a local painkiller. You might feel a prick (like an ant bite on you). After awhile they insert the super big needle into your flesh. It's not painful at ALL!!! ^_^!
3) The aides there are super nice! They will make sure that your veins can be seen before inserting the needles. So don't worry about them digging into your flesh searching for it :)
Got myself a limited edition watch from them! Wahahaha! ^_^
My goodies from my 1st blood donation!!!
I super like this sticker. So cute and people are really really nice to you! (Should say they treat everyone super nice even though u are already blood donors ^_^)
The hole in my hand. Not too bad cause didnt swollen too much. Heex! :)
