| Your Power Color Is Teal |
 At Your Highest: You feel accomplished and optimistic about the future. At Your Lowest: You feel in a slump and lack creativity. In Love: You tend to be many people's ideal partner. How You're Attractive: You make people feel confident and accepted. Your Eternal Question: "What Impression Am I Giving?" |
hmmmmm the last 2 is true.. haha. dunno about the 3rd tho.. dun really think so leh.. haha.
| How You Are In Love |
 You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You give and take equally in relationships. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard. |
hmmmmm..............
| Your Blogging Type Is the Private Performer |
 Your blog is your stage - with your visitors your adoring fans. At least, that's how you write with your witty one liners. And while you like attention, you value your privacy. You're likely to have an anonymous blog - or turn off comments. |
wow really true leh!! except the last point.. i do appreciate comments.. *hint hint*.. haha.
i've been looking for a pair of black swarovski earrings, and today while i was looking out for them, i found some other really nice ones!! a pity they all cost at least $8.. its my rule not to buy earrings that cost more than $6, and i've ald broken it once. (i have another pair of earrings that cost me most than $6, in fact more than $20 - and its really not worth it - but tat was before i set the rule) i dun wanna break it too many times!!
sighz, y izzit that i always take a fancy to accessories that cost more than wat i'm willing to pay for.. i juz have to blame my good taste and reluctance to spend much i guess.. hahaha..

| How You Life Your Life |
 You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You are always tactful and diplomatic. You let people down gently. You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable. |
watever.. too tired to analyse whether it describes me accurately or not now.. haha.. ok htink i'll go zzz...
| You Are 23 Years Old |
 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
wow!! and tot i behaved less maturely than my age.. hahahaa....
| Your Inner Child Is Angry |
 You're not an angry person. But when you don't get your way, watch out. Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want. Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming. |
haha sad to say.. its slightly true.. juz tat lil bit. haha.
but on a serious note.. its only true for the first 2 lines.. no matter how much i scream or shout, i also dun get i want.. haha.
ok i did another (silly) test.. its about hidden talents and i was supposed to do some choosing.. but cldnt decide between 2 choices and so i decided to choose both of them, one after another and see wat results each of the choices bring.. here's the first (but not preferred choice) i made:
and my reaction is: "are you sure???!!"
then teh 2nd:
haha equally bad results for the 2nd choice. dun really think its true leh.. haha. not much confidence.. the only major time that my ideas seemed good was recently, when my proj mates (tehre were 10 pp in the group) took my idea as to which topic to do for our proj (no the topics were not from a list.. we had to think of it ourselves). but even then, i'm not really confident of this idea myself.. haha. (teh project was about coming up with a business opportunity in/about inner mongolia, and i proposed setting up a mongolian theme park with yurts as resorts in singapore. crap right. heh)
What's Your Hidden Talent?
| Your Hidden Talent |
 Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people. You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together. Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly. People crave your praise and complements. |
and my reaction is: "are you sure???!!"
then teh 2nd:
| Your Hidden Talent |
 You are both very knowledgeable and creative. You tend to be full of new ideas and potential - big potential. Ideas like yours could change the world, if you build them. As long as you don't stop working on your dreams, you'll get there. |

| You Should Learn French |
 C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs. You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up... |
gooosh~~ French is indeed my favourite language to learn now~~ wow! looks like i really like french alot huh.. din noe tat myself.. haha.

now, i'm no believer of horoscopes, but this fashion horoscope from ivillage is interesting and kinda describes my fashion style:
Capricorn
The Goat is more comfortable in business suits than sweats, and no-nonsense heels than sandals. You are reasonable enough to want the best, but not to expect to get it on your frugal budget. There's no snob in your nature to stop you from going straight for the bargain rack and looking for the best the sales stickers have to offer. All your clothing is practical. It may not be the latest cut, but it still looks good enough to let your business associates know that you're serious about your career. If the price is right, you'll go so far as to get your clothing tailored, as long as it retains its classic, timeless style. For relaxation, you might wear pedal pushers, and leg warmers are a must at the gym. You may hunt for bargains, but you dress for success.
What you save on clothes, you splurge on accessories. Your jewelry is simple, but expensive. You can be classy without being gaudy, and an amethyst here or there never harmed anyone. Other than that, earthy you prefers browns, beiges and khaki. Your hair is not a big issue, as long as it's short, attractive and can be styled in less than five minutes. Combining adornment with use, Capricorn was one of the first to wear calculator watches, though pagers and cell phones are now the chief adornment to your pockets or purses.
Fave Label: Donna Karan
Would Look Good On: Christy Turlington
ya find that its qte descriptive in that qte a few statements are true:
1. You are reasonable enough to want the best, but not to expect to get it on your frugal budget.
2. There's no snob in your nature to stop you from going straight for the bargain rack and looking for the best the sales stickers have to offer.
3. All your clothing is practical. It may not be the latest cut, but it still looks good enough
4. You may hunt for bargains, but you dress for success. hehe tats teh phashion philosophy i adopt.
5.Your jewelry is simple, but expensive. You can be classy without being gaudy. yup i prefer to spend on quality, not quantity.
6.Your hair is not a big issue, as long as it's short, attractive and can be styled in less than five minutes. (not the short part tho, for now, i still think i look better with long hair)
7.Combining adornment with use,...cell phones are now the chief adornment to your pockets or purses. yup i prefer to multifunctional phones
and only the following is false or not really proven true yet:
1. What you save on clothes, you splurge on accessories. Your jewelry is simple, but expensive. --eh well. i dun really have a habit of accessorizing myself. cuz well i dun really have much money to buy them. but true la i can imagine if i were to spend money on jewellery, i'll spend it on quality, and not quantity.
2. Other than that, earthy you prefers browns, beiges and khaki. hmmm i juz learned that i'm a cool tone person leh!! and i dun like browns.. i like romantic colours like purple, pink, or bold colours..
so ya loh.. 5 to 2. overwhelming majority of the statements in the above paragraphs describes me.

look at this!!
in case you've been living in some mountains, apple has juz come up with the ipod nano. as you can see from teh above pic, its extremely slim, extremely compact. fits nicely into teh palm, as shown below:
it cna even be worn as an arm band:
in fact i htink the arm band look wld be great when you're doign ur regular jogging (not tat i do, of cuz =p)
however the picture below makes me wonder about whether its ergonomic enough. firstly, the display seems super small, but of cuz i'm sure the intended users ie youngsters have enough eye power to handle tat. secondly, there is hardly any buttons there. means there is alot of function sharing among the buttons. while enhancing its cool factor, this also means that the way the commands are mapped out, and shown on teh display panel, must be super clear and easy to follow in order for users to be able to learn how to use the ipod nano easily.
hmmm actually i'm qte sure many of you have heard about it le. cuz i dun usually hear about techie gadgets and now even i noe about it???? shows the wonders that a good (or shld i say, cool) design can do eh. makes pp spread teh word about it, such tat even a mountain panda (wait, is there such a hting as mountain panda???) like me also have heard, and raves, about it.
hmmm too bad i dun have the money to buy it.. i havent checked out the price, but im' sure a cool product comes with a cool price. =(

from domeblog, a blog dedicated to wats happening in new orleans right now:
Long lines and paperwork to get debit cards
The reports almost seemed too good to be true: $2,000 debit cards being handed out at the Astrodome and other Houston shelters. Long lines formed as evacuees rushed to claim the cards promised by the federal government on Wednesday, but the word at the end of the line was disappointing.
Yes, the debit cards are coming. But no, it's not as easy as flashing a Louisiana ID.
No cards were handed out on Wednesday, and standing in line only provided evacuees with a chance to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Assuring evacuees that registration will allow them to get help tailored to their needs, FEMA spokesman Ed Conley could not say when the cards would be available, but another spokesman told KTRH News Radio today that evacuees can expect to wait seven to 10 days.
"When we ... have the process set up, we'll do it," Conley said.
In the meantime, those who want debit cards but don't want to stand in another line should get the ball rolling by calling 1-800-621-FEMA or going to the agency's web site at http://www.fema.gov.
tats ridiculous loh.. who among those stuck in new orleans right now wld have access to internet or phone??? i mean, there's no power there liao loh.. and all the handphones and laptops wld have been drowned, or if not, their batteries wld have died also.
duhz.

i juz did another crazy thing.. staying up in the middle of term time to do up my blog.
yet.. i'm still not satisfied. feel like i din put in enough xin1 si1. eg i shld have tried to apply more of wat i learnt in m441: industrial design. haha. mebbe i'll spend another friday night to improve the design. heh. shall see la.
hmmm anw tat stupid scroll bar colour is still off.. spent dunno how long trying to match it with the splash of blue on the left. still no use. bleah.

haha i found some interesting info about singapore here...ok mebbe not. =p
eh... how come the pics are a bit small =(
oops!!! i juz realised.. i've done something illegal. erm shld be ok right. *cross all fingers* anw the pics are taken from this gov webbie
and hmm. i'm not drowsy i dunno y.

and hmm. i'm not drowsy i dunno y.
hmmm i realised...
contrary to what i tot, the 6 lessons block only includes one dance. and this actually renders my decided solution to the problem useless, cuz now it means i cant possibly have 3 weeks of lessons, break for 6 weeks and have another 3 weeks of lessons. cuz most probably the first and second block of 3 lessons each wont be about the same dance le. =(
so again i'm faced with teh same problem. to take teh class, or not?
argument: (discouragement):
it is my final year. what if i screw it up cuz of dance??? its not worth it at all loh. unless i wanna teach dance as a profession, now tat wld be a different story. but no, i'm not gonna teach dance loh. cuz a)i dun htink my potential is of tat kind of calibre. b)im influenced by the thinking (or prejudice??) that you cant earn much by teaching arts c)i'm not particularly inclined to teach as a profession.
counter-argument (encouragement):
who says i wont be able to handle studies AND extra dance lessons? after all, it'll only take up 1 hour of my time. there isnt even extra travellign time cuz the dance studio is actually on my way home from school. so whether i go dance studio or not, i'll have to take the same route, and thus take the same travellign time. hehe. and besides, im used to getting home ard midnight for a few days a week, so 10pm (the time i'd most probably reach home by after the class) wld even be considered early le.
counter-argument (discouragement):
then again, i'm bound to WANT to practice throughout the week. and i'l have more things to practice too. so the time i spent on dance will definitely increase by more than 1 hour.
counter-argument (encouragement):
but how much more can it increase by???? i noe, and am quite sure, my appetite for practicing at home is not gonna be like last time, when i can practice up to 2 hours continuously. besides, to accoommodate the increase in practicing hours at home, i can sacrifice some of my msn time?? after all... sighz.
ok no more counter-arguments le. but still i'm not convinced that i shld take up teh class.. cuz mebbe there are other unforeseen ways that the dance classes will affect my studies?? and mebbe my encouraging counter-arguments wont really reflect wats gonna happen if i do take up the lessons???
arrrgh cant decide cant decide.
hmmmmmm actually.. come to htink of it, i have already decided le. its juz the courage and assurance i need. haha. such a long entry for nothing eh. but well i'm a female. cant blame us, its in the genes. heh. and yeah i'm amused at myself too. heh..

shall i or shall i not???
take latin techniques class now i mean.
2 main (and perennial) probs:
$$$.
it costs $120 at shawn and gladys, for a total of 6 lessons of 45? min each. tats $20 per lesson. means i have to fork out $80 next month, and mebbe the month after tat, if i wanna learn all 5 dances of competitive latin. but if you compare it to private lessons with shawn (the main instructor and owner of the school), its considered cheap ald.. cuz shawn's private lessons cost $80 per lesson (melvin, his student and secondary instructor charges $65 per lesson).. so, for the same amount of money, i get to enjoy 3 more lessons than if i were to be taking private. of cuz, i'd have to divide the time/attn given to me by gladys (shawn's wife/dance partner) by the number of extra couples in teh class also la. heh. but its ok..
ya.. so i think i wldnt mind forking out $120 for 6 lessons of latin technique with a few other couples.. but, now the prob is not whether i mind or not. its whether i CAN or not. right now my liquid bank account (i try to keep one other bank accoutn frozen for the purpose of saving up money) is left with about $50 bucks, when 4 weeks ago it had $400+. so, means deducting all my expenditures, i have about $50 extra to spend, which means im still short of $30 for teh latin technique. urrrgh... i need to get hold of some money... how????? is anyone charitable enough to give me $30 for 2 months?? haha.
the other main prob, is, of cuz, TIME.
thing is, i'm having school now.. i need time to do projects, tutorials, read textbooks, etc. and my school exams are immediately after the end of this season's latin technique. its my 2nd last sem, i really wanna clear all my subjects. and preferably get some As as well :P (err but its qte difficult, i have only gotten 3 As out of at least 35 modules i've taken in NTU, and its my 2nd last sem so i'd expect the difficulty to increase as well).
so, one obvious solution to this prob, is to take it during my hols. ie, take 5 lessons during the 5 week hols, and 1 last lesson in the first week of the next sem. in this way, i minimize its effects on me during term time. but there're 3 probs to this. 1. for 6 weeks, i can most probably only learn 3 dances, and the timing may not coincide with the 3 dances i prefer to learn. 2. related to teh first problem, is, if i wanna learn more htan 3 dances, i'd have to extend my attendance by 3 more weeks to the 4th week of my final sem. 3. sometimes you like somethign so much you'd want to have it as soon as possible. =P besides, glady's will be teachign jive in this season, which very nicely complements the jive routine that shawn is giving us over these few weeks.
how how how????
i cant decide... goodness. im so indecisive (but more decisive than some other pp, heh). mebbe (and if possible), i'll attend 3 weeks, then concentrate on my studies, then pick up after my exams. hmmmm i think its a good idea.. worth pondering upon.
ok i'm really slpy now. think i'll go sleep!! heh really sorry if i bored you to tears in this entry. but well (online) diaries serve to record the tots of the writer, isnt it, and currently this issue is somewhere within teh top 10 in my head. so write down loh. and yup now you noe i htink alot for every lil small issue in my life. haha. nitez everyone.

it costs $120 at shawn and gladys, for a total of 6 lessons of 45? min each. tats $20 per lesson. means i have to fork out $80 next month, and mebbe the month after tat, if i wanna learn all 5 dances of competitive latin. but if you compare it to private lessons with shawn (the main instructor and owner of the school), its considered cheap ald.. cuz shawn's private lessons cost $80 per lesson (melvin, his student and secondary instructor charges $65 per lesson).. so, for the same amount of money, i get to enjoy 3 more lessons than if i were to be taking private. of cuz, i'd have to divide the time/attn given to me by gladys (shawn's wife/dance partner) by the number of extra couples in teh class also la. heh. but its ok..
ya.. so i think i wldnt mind forking out $120 for 6 lessons of latin technique with a few other couples.. but, now the prob is not whether i mind or not. its whether i CAN or not. right now my liquid bank account (i try to keep one other bank accoutn frozen for the purpose of saving up money) is left with about $50 bucks, when 4 weeks ago it had $400+. so, means deducting all my expenditures, i have about $50 extra to spend, which means im still short of $30 for teh latin technique. urrrgh... i need to get hold of some money... how????? is anyone charitable enough to give me $30 for 2 months?? haha.
the other main prob, is, of cuz, TIME.
thing is, i'm having school now.. i need time to do projects, tutorials, read textbooks, etc. and my school exams are immediately after the end of this season's latin technique. its my 2nd last sem, i really wanna clear all my subjects. and preferably get some As as well :P (err but its qte difficult, i have only gotten 3 As out of at least 35 modules i've taken in NTU, and its my 2nd last sem so i'd expect the difficulty to increase as well).
so, one obvious solution to this prob, is to take it during my hols. ie, take 5 lessons during the 5 week hols, and 1 last lesson in the first week of the next sem. in this way, i minimize its effects on me during term time. but there're 3 probs to this. 1. for 6 weeks, i can most probably only learn 3 dances, and the timing may not coincide with the 3 dances i prefer to learn. 2. related to teh first problem, is, if i wanna learn more htan 3 dances, i'd have to extend my attendance by 3 more weeks to the 4th week of my final sem. 3. sometimes you like somethign so much you'd want to have it as soon as possible. =P besides, glady's will be teachign jive in this season, which very nicely complements the jive routine that shawn is giving us over these few weeks.
how how how????
i cant decide... goodness. im so indecisive (but more decisive than some other pp, heh). mebbe (and if possible), i'll attend 3 weeks, then concentrate on my studies, then pick up after my exams. hmmmm i think its a good idea.. worth pondering upon.
ok i'm really slpy now. think i'll go sleep!! heh really sorry if i bored you to tears in this entry. but well (online) diaries serve to record the tots of the writer, isnt it, and currently this issue is somewhere within teh top 10 in my head. so write down loh. and yup now you noe i htink alot for every lil small issue in my life. haha. nitez everyone.
