i like my name~~ do you??

i used to think that my name is too typical that if you go out and shout my name, at least 5 people will answer.... sometimes i thought that my name is just too common that doesnt really show my "unique-ness"... wahaha.. however thanks to my mom and dad.... maybe they thought that my name is kinda typical as well they decided to add a very uncommon "T" in my name... which easily distinguishes my name and others which are similar....

anyway... i started to like my name more and more... as it is distinctive.... in other languages as well... because my name sounds the same... in english, malay, chinese, even japanese and korean...

ペイ サン... my japanese name... is sounds the same as my english... since i'm using katakana... so it's like translating from english...

이 배 산 ... my korean name... that's what my korean language teacher showed me.... and it sounds the same as my english one or my chinese one... wahaha... other's all sound different but mine is still the same pronunciation... and boy korean typing is so hard!!! the alphabets actually does not match the syllables.... i have to try out every single key to know which is which... i'm now thinking about labeling them on my keyboard.... or maybe just copy them down...

freaky~~ dreams...

i'm not sure about others... but i usually have dreams about things that are gonna happen in the next few days... well not exactly what happen but it somehow resembles the event...

for instance... i'll be going for k-session with a bunch of friends... then i'll be having weird dreams about the microphone is not working or there are snakes in the k-room (this has nothing to do with the movie snake on the plane or what ever it's called because i never watch or plan to watch that movie)..... etc... or maybe i'll be dreaming for getting a very weird parking space the night before my afternoon class... however... none of the dreams came true... anyway if they do i'll be freaking the hell out because as you know in dreams anything could happen... like my proton is able to squeeze into a small gap that even a kancil might have problems fitting in.... and i can actually crawl out from the boots which is ridiculus because there's no way i could reach into the boots when i'm in the car...

well... just last night i have this close-to-the-real-thing dream about school....

it was my public speaking tutorials... and we are already required to present our persuasive speech... being totally unprepared... i was really stressed out as i think my number was 13(if i didnt mix up the real thing with it), and the presentations went on and on.... as though we have hours of public speaking tutorials...

until we reach student no.12.... dont ask me who is that because i seriously dont know... i quickly briefly recalled what did i plan to do for my persuasive speech... as i said i was struggling between two topics... and i dont know which to present... until i made up my mind... the class ended.... phew.... so that means i'm the first one presenting during the next class...

and guess what.... let me tell you the real thing that happened.... we were drawing lots during our multimedia design and applications lecture... where we are suppose to go to the class rep to draw our number... being a lazy panda... i just sat and wait until everyone is done drawing... the bag of numbers were passed around and until it got in front of my eyes... there were like around 3 numbers left.... wahahahaha.... guess what's my number???

NO. 1!!!!

gosh!!! things cant get any freak-ier... i'm destinied to be the first to present no matter what... it said so in my dreams... as well as reality....

end of the class... i got to know from marc, kevin and joanne that our dear tutor... mr kuru actually predicted that i'll be the first to present for the persuasive speech.... yikes!!! it turns out that during our impromtu speech... pei shan got no.1... and our class happen to have 2 pei shan/tsan-s.... so during the next presentation the next pei shan/tsan (aka moi) is the first to go!!!!

how freaky can that be???!!!

public speaking presentations

should i be sharing about my impromtu speech presentation today???

maybe i should... i'll delay last wednesday's japanese cultural event thingy since it's already delayed for more than 1 week... so i guess... people are now used to the wait.... hee..

impromtu speech... the rules are like this.... who goes first of last will be decided by luck... which we had draw lots earlier before... i'm number 13... unlucky???
then when the time comes... the first person will pick his/her(in my class's case, is a Her) topic from a bunch of topics prepared by our tutor... then.... he/she have 2 minutes to prepare and after the 2 minutes is up... he/she will have to go up and present....

we'll just skip those before me... coz honestly... i dont really remember them... yah... my memory...

i was supposed to pick my topic when the person before me, which is when no.12(to protect his/her privacy, we'll call him/her 12....) 's speech reach around 2 and a half minutes.... well... frankly speaking... 2 minutes of preparation is never gonna be enough for me.... although everyone claimed that i have ample time to prepare but i am still not ready... 12 had a lot of pauses and was even give a chance to start again.... so that really gave me bonus time for preparation...

anyway... as i reach for my "lucky" topic... i actually caught a glimpse of 1 of the topics which was "death"... at first i thought... should i pick that one as i already saw it... but i cant think any points about death at the moment... so i just "try my luck" and see what my luck brings me... and guess what??? my topic is....


-
-
-

ABORTION!!!

gosh!!! what the??!!! what kind of topic is this???!!!
anyway... i'll just stick to my luck... who knows what "brilliant"points may come to me when i'm preparing.... so i sat down half cursing my luck and the other half is cursing myself for not listening other previous presentations that involves abortion... i believe there was at least twice... this topic was presented in class for other subjects... and why didnt i listen???!!!! ok... i did listen... so why didnt i pay attention???!!! while cursing... i'm still busy scribbling down whatever that comes to my mind about abortion... as mentioned before... 12 paused for quite a while and even started over... so i had maybe more time that i was suppose to have...

however... when the tutor said that i'm up... i was like "i just sat down!!!" and i actually just finish writing the introduction and list down my 3 points... i was just thinking about the supporting details and my time is up!!!! gosh!!! why did i pick this topic???!!

ok... i went out... and just blab all my points and stuff that pops up in my brain... because i was just randomly picking out very random phrases from my mind, some sentences dont really link from start to end... but anyway... the trick is... to just blurt them out smoothly and assume its one sentence... people might be convinced that's its a sentence too... wahahaha....
just skip the details during my presentation....

after my presentation... i suddenly realise that the room was actually shivering cold... as i was shivering and shaking from the inside out.... ish!!!

i dont know how did i do... but the tutor's comments sounds ok... so i guess it should not be bad...

now next stop is to prepare my persuasive speech outline... i'm still struggling between 2 topics... both sounds boring.... but i still have to choose anyhow... ish!!!!

old dreams~~~

just done watching field trip USA on 8tv... and that reminds me.... i used to dream of going to USA... disneyland and stuff... back then... when i was a so-called banana with not more than 3 sentences of mandarin in mind (wo bu hui hua yu(i dont know mandarin), bu zhi dao(dunno), bu yao(dont want))... well maybe there's more than three... but i was once an english speaking girl who went to a chinese primary school... thinking that chinese words have too many strokes and stuff and are too complicated.... unlike english with only 26 alphabets....

back to my "english" days... my parents used to speak to me in english all the time since i was born... maybe a little hokkien but hardly any mandarin... only sometimes when there are classes in kindergarten and stuff... forgot to mention... i grew up in a kindergarten... it's call peter pan kindergarten... no, it does not exist already... but it was situated in PJ... somewhere near assunta girls' school i think.... some of the students speak mandarin... so there's where i start picking up little by little of mandarin... but i was only 2 years old.... how much can i absorb?? so i used to read english books.... the very famous "peter and jane"... enid blyton and the other stories series... watch english tv shows... sesame street (my favourite), full house (the one starring bob saget and the olsen twins, NOT the one with rain and song hye gyo), beverly hills 90210 (its currently showing on 8tv!!!), wheel of fortune(the english version of our very own roda impian), win lose or draw, america's funniest home video (hosted by bob saget, i used to be a great fan of his), the cosby show, and many many other tv shows of that era i suppose.... i was hardly exposed to chinese... wahahaha...

that is why i always wanted to go to america... first i wanted to visit sesame street... my cousin who is currently living there... told me that their house was just a few streets away from sesame street and keep asking me to come and visit them..... i still wonder whether it's true or not... because when she told me that i was around 4 or 5 years old, i think....

watching field trip usa.... triggers my old dream of going to america once again... after being burried deep into my mind for so long... which was after i started watching files of justice from TVB and several mediacorp series... and then enrolled into chinese school... started speaking mandarin... reading chinese books until now.... my chinese has overtook my standard of english... i'm currently more confident in chinese than my english.... what a shame!!!!

well... i was once a looking-to-the-west girl turn into currently a looking-to-the-east girl.... learning japanese and korean... focusing on my mandarin... wishing to work in hong kong... putting down my old dreams of going to america and further my studies... well... although things have changed... but i still hope to go there one day... just to see sesame street...

heee...

i'm finally back!!!!

guess how long have i been wandering away from my blog???? and it's not my fault!!! it's my connection... then my pc.... everything has not been going so well after all... and it always happens during my short semester....



some may think that i should not put the blame on my luck again... but how could it be a coincidence if i only went through 2 short semesters in my uni lfe and i always have to face computer and connection problems during that time???? there's no explanation towards that arent they???



if you wanna confirm... i'm quite sure that i have post something about my connection during my last short semester... which is around february or march last year.... i was required to create a website and also make it available online... and my connection just have to play along and i cant upload anything.... anybody with website-creating background will know that in order to make a website available online.... you'll have to upload all your whatsoever pictures, images, graphics (i know they are all the same thing... but just let me fill more words into my post as i have not been posting for so long...), videos and stuff online to get them work on the website... so how am i going to make it available online if i cant upload???? in the end... kah yee and i used the uni's internet lab to upload everything.... and boy, that took us a while....

and now... also another short semester... also another website-creating assignment... and also another make-the-website-available-online request is on..... so now... what will happen to my very very vitally important technology????

internet-connection: ah-ha!! maybe i should flicker the dsl light a little bit and just freak her out.... push off the internet connection for a few days... it's just the first
week of study... nothing much needed from me....


thank you very much.... i'm really freaked out ok..... i cant go online... i cant do research... i cant search for details and info... i cant blog... i cant facebook.... i cant reply the mails the japanese kids sent to me... ish!!!! then today... finally... my dad call up telekom to get them to fix the phone line... ya.. the phone line is causing problems... maybe i should change the character of the dialogue above... maybe not.... it's seems ok though....

next....

pc: ah now... this girl have been torturing me non-stop when mr internet connection was on vacation.... on and off... on and off... just to see if the stupid explorer is loading or not.... so now i think i'll just "mogok" and let her know who's the boss!!!! the next time is the last time she gets me turn on.... (ok, this sounds weird)

why la???!!!!! now my pc is toasted!!!! cannot on it at all!!!!!! argh!!!!!!! so what shall i do now??? i know my laptop will always come in handy but the problem is... i prefer doing things using the pc... because the laptop screen can really kill my eyesight... everything seems so bright eventhough i adjust the brightness to the lowest of all....

so now... do you agree that i always have bad luck with our very handy-dandy online technology during short semesters... i still have one more to go... i wonder what else will happen to my computer... laptop... connection... whatsoever......

hi hoe...

wahaha... it's almost 12 am... why am i still here facing the computer instead of hugging my pillow and dreaming on??? it's because my dreaded timetable doesnt require me to wake up early the next morning in order to get parking space... in conjunction with that.... i dont have to sleep that early either...

the first class starts at 3pm, man!!!! why should i wake up at 6am???? nothing else to do???!!!

but now i'm not sure actually what time shoul di leave the house.... because i'm not really familar with the road condition during this time of the day... usually i'll most probably be on the other side of the road happily driving my way back home.... now... i'll be dragging my dreaded soul to uni and also to search for parking space... i hate afternoon classes!!!! or this is more towards evening already??!!!! am i going to a night school???!!! gosh!!!

so now... i'm still figuring out what time should i leave the house... for your info... this post has been saved overnight because i dont think it's long enough to be posted... hahahaha.... so it's around 11.20am now.... i'm typing while playing with d-ken... my pet in pet society... trying to win some more paw points in order to get a bigger house for my d-ken... it's kinda small in my opinion... as d-ken loves to buy stuff (it's more like the OWNER is the ONE who LOVES to buy stuff...)... there's not enough space to put all his stuff around the house... maybe some of you should try playing with pet society... it's really cute!!!

or maybe you can also try guess the sketch... also in facebook... that is why i love facebook... they always have a lot of cool games.... it's something like win, lose or draw... if you are from my generation, you should know this gameshow.... i forgot the host's name... but you SHOULD know la... unless you dont watch tv at the age of 2-5... then you are forgiven... heee... its really fun... and you get to DRAW~~~ not that i like drawing but it can be kinda fun when everybody is about hte same standard... hahahahah....

i'm still clueless about what time should i be leaving for uni.... boy, i hate that timetable!!!!!

coming back...

ok ok... i should not be this irresponsible and just dump my blog aside while i keep updating the other two... not actually that i give those blogs frequent updates... but just that these few days i have been updating them instead of this one...


i should be fair to all my blogs and follow my blog quota... this blog should have more than 5 posts a month....


today... i went to meet hui ping for lunch at giant... why meet at giant??? because she works at a company opposite giant.... we had our lunch at giant's food court... and we talk about stuff... her work.... my STUPID timetable... her work... my PATHETIC results.... her work.... my STUPID and PATHETIC timetable again... her work.... she's been sharing a lot about her work... well.. that's what i was curious about anyway... although i'm not really into chemistery but at least i still know what is quality control... which is the department she's in... she does a lot of measuring stuff... for samples i guess... to test.... something like that.... anyway... her lunch hour was only 1 hour so she had to leave not long after we finish our meal.... ish ish... i'll meet her up some time later for lunch due to my STUPID timetable that doesnt require me to go to school at the break of dawn in order to get parking space....


(on second thought, i rather wake up at the break of dawn for parking space)


after she left... i went in giant to get a few groceries my mom wanted... and i realised that i should not have push a trolley because all i need to get is just a tin of milo and some maggi mee... i can even hold them with my bare hands.. but i love pushing the trolley around so i just took one without thinking whether do i need it... in the end... the trolley was to big to fit into the express lane which people go to when they have less than 10 items... so i lined up in the normal line and waited for my turn...


it was drizzling when i stepped out of giant... luckily it did not turn heavy before i reach home... or else i'll be dripping wet...


there's like 3 more days for my sem break... and i'll have to go back to uni and follow my STUPID + PATHETIC timetable.... sheesh... what should i be doing within these 3 days???

just to update...

how long has it been since i last blogged???

i'm so sorry for the seriously-lacking-0f-updates...

i really lost my blogging mood these few days...

i dont know why...

my blogging spirit has somehow just vanish into thin air or evaporated or something.... i dont feel it around me anymore....

sigh.....

why is this happening????

i used to have loads of crap to fill in post after post in my blog.... so that it's frequently updated and everybody will have something new to read everytime they drop by....

but now... the urge has just disappeared....

i dont feel like blogging or uploading anything into my blog.....

i actually have loads to blog about... my recent hk trip.... which was really really fun... although it was short... but at least i still get to meet some friends... who took the time to travel over to tsim sa tsui to meet me... and take me to places in tsim sa tsui... because i said i cant go far....

and even hang out in my hotel room when my dad went off for a meeting leaving me alone from morning till evening.... so nice of them....
they even help me wander around to look for stuff cheng hui and gang requested from hk...

thanks bing, jase, sean....

and also thanks kyle for calling me to check whether i'm ok following the local tour all by myself... i really appreciated that....

what else??? i miss hk already when i step down the plane.... and missed it even more when i reached home...

if there's a chance to work in tvb, hong kong... i'll just quit utar and fly there straight away... maybe stay with my cousin temporarily while i search for a cheap and small space for me to live in...

until i earn enough to pay for my degree(if its not completed in utar) or maybe.... master... if i get to pass all my subjects in degree (aka utar...)

.... that's all for my update....
