The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Youngcranberry_sauce_91http://www.blogger.com/profile/10316717701121742207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075237800954194905.post-9877052158860236282009-11-01T04:06:00.000-08:002009-11-01T04:23:07.805-08:00first time halloween celebration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WyOT9eXe0yt34J6yO_k8zK1dnNAjxHukGWK4LnbGzWTDjyIYpfx-vqdr5EVKHGfySq1xV-DXGdBRf80O3-hPOsGyxQlJECIUcNEnJsLIF1pbIwXL5jGuhKFRfqJtx8NBA1xL3QddyZX_/s1600-h/spooktacular2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WyOT9eXe0yt34J6yO_k8zK1dnNAjxHukGWK4LnbGzWTDjyIYpfx-vqdr5EVKHGfySq1xV-DXGdBRf80O3-hPOsGyxQlJECIUcNEnJsLIF1pbIwXL5jGuhKFRfqJtx8NBA1xL3QddyZX_/s320/spooktacular2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399109513060448418" /></a><br /><br /><br />hell yeah! finally i know how the halloween celebration goes on. lol. last night was one of the memorable moments we had together. with a group of 16 people, yeah quite big, we reached sentosa at 6.30 pm. queued in front of the building. then suddenly a group of 'ghost' came out and scared people along the queue line. lol. there was a poor girl being scared and just couldn't do anything. lol. some of us used those time to take pictures. <br /><br />started entering the ghost house, i walked in front so wouldn't be scared at all. there was an unlucky moment i had last night. when it was about to end the ghost house journey, i walked at the back, suddenly i looked back and tadaaa! a scary face was behind me. immediately i hid my face in my friend's hand. lol. again, the price worth the fun. never experienced it before. here are some photos we took last night. i love the togetherness. let's do it next time guys!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuybjSVJiryvalyOyazNbuA2KpiP1Im-KiHzC5HC48_oyevBx9ehfgF23Z89nt6kWGPZtk_qLvxDqAJ5nSf89Hf3WR7IYawr8xTSSRyUNmsaQuLfJ3wEF40gJVp_k09LKhgJEDcb-ah9Of/s1600-h/spooktacular.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuybjSVJiryvalyOyazNbuA2KpiP1Im-KiHzC5HC48_oyevBx9ehfgF23Z89nt6kWGPZtk_qLvxDqAJ5nSf89Hf3WR7IYawr8xTSSRyUNmsaQuLfJ3wEF40gJVp_k09LKhgJEDcb-ah9Of/s320/spooktacular.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399109387568018658" /></a>cranberry_sauce_91http://www.blogger.com/profile/10316717701121742207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075237800954194905.post-57131148677919847052009-10-27T01:09:00.000-07:002009-10-27T01:10:50.708-07:00Patience-Guns N RosesShed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you<br />I'm still alright to smile<br />Girl, I think about you every day now<br />Was a time when I wasn't sure<br />But you set my mind at ease<br />There is no doubt<br />You're in my heart now<br /><br />Said, woman, take it slow<br />It'll work itself out fine<br />All we need is just a little patience<br />Said, sugar, make it slow<br />And we come together fine<br />All we need is just a little patience<br />(patience)<br />Mm, yeah<br /><br />I sit here on the stairs<br />'Cause I'd rather be alone<br />If I can't have you right now<br />I'll wait, dear<br />Sometimes I get so tense<br />But I can't speed up the time<br />But you know, love<br />There's one more thing to consider<br /><br />Said, woman, take it slow<br />And things will be just fine<br />You and I'll just use a little patience<br />Said, sugar, take the time<br />'Cause the lights are shining bright<br />You and I've got what it takes<br />To make it, We won't fake it,<br />I'll never break it<br />'cause I can't take it<br /><br />[whistle]<br />...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah<br />need a little patience, yeah<br />just a little patience, yeah<br />some more patience, yeah<br />need some patience, yeah<br />could use some patience, yeah<br />gotta have some patience, yeah<br />all it takes is patience,<br />just a little patience<br />is all you need *<br /><br />I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT<br />JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT<br />HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND<br />YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE<br />BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD<br />AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE<br />BUT BABY THE NAME<br />I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME<br />'CAUSE I NEED YOU<br />YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU<br />OO, I NEED YOU<br />WHOA, I NEED YOU<br />OO, ALL THIS TIME **cranberry_sauce_91http://www.blogger.com/profile/10316717701121742207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075237800954194905.post-47323294861677886022009-10-27T00:51:00.000-07:002009-10-27T01:04:36.344-07:00october almost over..yes, 5 days later october is over. means i have been here for 2 1/2 months. almost get used to it. much less homesick. college life also getting busier and busier every single day. about 3 weeks later, i'm intending to call housing agent, looking for an unit for rent. i need to get it immediately. faster is better. am also listing what else to be brought home in christmas break. can't wait to feel my lovely hometown!

However, I used to do the memorising methods but that learning style is not compulsory here. Well, critical thinking is very necessary, but i didn't use to it so i have to adapt so much more things in my first few months here. In few weeks later, i will have to prepare myself for test round 1 which will be held on october 12-14. but, i feel relieved because after those exams, i'll be able to see my family come here. yipee!<br />In addition, lee minho (boys before flowers' main cast) is coming to singapore to promote etude products!! i'm still looking forward whether i will come or not because of those such exams.cranberry_sauce_91http://www.blogger.com/profile/10316717701121742207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075237800954194905.post-30668193015832055882009-09-08T18:59:00.000-07:002009-09-08T19:07:02.458-07:00finally!!finally what i've been looking for has come!<br />iPhone 3Gs damn rocks<br /><br />yesterday when i opened my email account there's an exciting news about it.
