Nothing Satisfy Us~

April 11th, 2005 by deborahwong

What do we want actually? I don’t really know myself. Firstly, the food microbiology paper was too tough, but today, the food flavour was really easy, especially in comparison to previous year’s papers. It was so easy that most focused on what we felt was the harder parts and neglected the simple principles.

I heard from many people saying that they felt that Ms Leong was out to kill us again(after the micro paper), but I felt that she was helping us with the last question, which was something we memorised for the practical test. Maybe she did not tell us to focus on that part, she didn’t even tell us that partical part may come out, but that was really was quite a simple and straight forward question.

Anyway, I still love all my lecturers from the FOOD TECH!

Will work harder for next paper on Wednesday!

Btw, I will be starting my job at CerealTech from 25 April onwards!

Why Make us fail?

April 7th, 2005 by deborahwong

I just had my first paper for the last semestral exam (hopefully), which was food microbiology, yesterday. It was a killer paper man.

Firstly, the lecture notes are sooo very thick. Secondly, only gave us sooo little tips. Thirdly, all those you study don’t come out. Lastly, the questions are sooo hard. There was even a trick question!

I can’t believe that our lecturers are out to kill us, even for our last exams! What if we fail and have to forward module? That is the greatest concern on my mind. Which was why I was so worried for that particular paper.

To be honest, this was the only semester that I felt that I had the most time to study, which I tried. But the food microbiology was too hard for me to swallow. And I was really worried when I was waiting outside the exam venue. When I read the question paper, all hope was lost. Nonetheless, I attempted every question, hoping for a miracle. There was a question I was very sure about, the RPLA question. But that was a trick question set by Ms Leong. And all my answer for that question should had been the opposite! Oh my God!

No use brooding over spilled milk, I shall try harder for the other papers then.

House of Fury~

April 4th, 2005 by deborahwong

Went to school today and finally got to understand about how countercurrent leaching works. Really worried about the exams as I will so graduate and is worried that I might fail anyone module and have to repeat one more semester. Saw Mrs Ku today and she said that from the question she marked the class should be ok. But kind to think of it, I am not very confident for my last quiz, I just hope I can pass. No point pondering for now, have to concentrate on the oncoming exams and do well.

Mr Ng was really patient today, going thru the leaching questions today and he made sure that we really understand. There is a high chance that countercurrent will come out again and it is really hard to do. Haiz~~ I hate the exams…

In the evening, I went to watch House of Fury with Darling Fabian. It was really such an enjoyable movie, both the plot and the actor, Stephan Fung, kept me glued to the screen. It was really very funny and at the same time heart-warming. The movie kind of reminded me and my brother, when the charactors, Stephan and Gillian fight. But the action was there, the Kung Fu choreography was fantastic. I am not a fan of action packed movie, but the movie was really great. Maybe Stephan did attracted me to watch it, but the movie was worth every penny.

From May onward, the movie tickets will increase by $1. Haiz~~

Lesser movies for me liao~~

The exams are coming real soon and I don’t really have the mood to study, everything that goes in for one moment, leaves the next. What to do??? I think I am just too lazy…

I hate the exams and I am looking forward to the life after exams. I can’t wait for the days where I will be working and actually earning money and have some real figures inside my bank account.

Life has been very vexing for me. Imagine having an extremely irritating brother that comes up to you everyday to persuade you to convince my ma to send him back to LA. It is not that I do not want to help, but seeing my ma in her present condition, it just aches my heart to put more stress into her. The truth is that we do not have the money to send him back and I am very against the thing itself. I just feel that he is being selfish. But kind to think of it, he is the only brother I have and I really want him to have happiness, and he will only be happy if he is back there. What to do again???

It is just so hard to be happy isn’t it? To make everybody happy… I just wish for peace~~

My Sisters

April 1st, 2005 by deborahwong

My Sisters (all 7 of them, especially Danni) are very important to me. People might often wonder why the 8 of us, who have very different personality, can actually clique together.

Well, I never really figured that out actually. But who cares? Basically, all of us have some common traits. We are all kind, caring, patient and understanding (most of the time) to each other. They will always be among the people that I treasure most.

Let me start with my Mei Mei- Danni! She is the cute baby of the group! And she is also the one that I care the most for. Sometimes I feel that I dote on her more than I care for my La Bi Xiao Xing Brother…

Let me discribe how she looks first. She looks very much like JJ- Lin Jun Jie. REALLY! She had been chased by fans! Being extremely adorable and lovable, you will definately find it hard (almost impossible) to find her to be the least bit irritating. Everything she does is just too cute.

Being the "Best Listener" of the group, she is often the ONE everybody confide to. Most of the time, she have a lot of worries within her, both of other people but mainly of her own problems, about her future, family… Having all that problems and troubles bottled inside her, she seldom tell people of her troubles. But she will always be there to offer a listening ear and make you feel better. Basically, she is an angel. She never liked trouble anybody therefore she never tell of her problems.

I do hope that she will tell me her problems, I may not offer the best solution, but as long as it is within my means, I will help. And I know that when I have any problems she will always be there for me also.

Crystal is the modern chick of the group. Always in style and in shape. Basically extremely fun to be with and is full of general knowledge, from wine to gourmet foods, she has seen everything it seems. Studying in NUS architecture, she is always very busy to complete her assignments and project. It worries me that she is not getting enough sleep and it seems that she gets sick quite often nowadays.

Esther used to be the goodie girl of the group. Now she is still GOOD but she has started to do more daring things, which is good. She has a mind of her own and is not easily influenced by someone. Being very family orientated, she is very close to her family and they mean the world to her. Many things seem to be crashing down on her, and it pains me to see her so devastated. She was torturing herself physically to drown her sorrows. But she fell down and got up, and is now a self sufficient young adult, juggling both work and study. I am so proud of her. I do wish her all the best in her current relationship. That guy better treat her good, she is a real good catch. =)

Jane I feel is the fortunate girl of the group. She has everything- the looks, brains, happiness(with her S** Y**), etc. I felt that I had only seen the good side of jane before, people say that she can be extremely stubborn at times, but to me, she is just another lovable person that had walked into my life. Being a fun lover, she is often very attractive and makes friends easily. You will definately see some of her friends coincidentally on every outing with her.

The first thing someone will say to Jane will most probably be a comment on her height. Being as tall as a giraffe, she often attracts the gaze of passerby with her tall and slender physique and her model-like features.

Lydia was the bubbly girl of the group. She is often very expressive with the things she has to say. She is very vocal, talk well, sing well. She is a very determined person who will work very hard for her goals. Being very friendly and lovable, most people will like her just by looking at her. Now, she has found a steady boyfriend and soon to be hubby!

Pei Ren is the Mei Nu of the group. Born with barbie-like features, she often have man admirers hovering around her. She is someone that is willing to do anything for her friends, she is very kind by nature and is a well-known children lover. She is thinking of kids before she actually found herself a boyfriend! Being very clever and bright, she is a fast learner. Time spent with her is always enjoyable because she is just simple fun to be with. =D

Shulin is the advanture girl. The CI is always on trips to Ubin, which is like her home. Now she is very busy with her hubby(Bear) and baby(Xiao Hong-the phantom bike ;P). We had always commented that she is of a unique personality. She likes anything furry, talks to insects, eats grass… If there is a cockroach, she will not scream of shout, most probably she will play with it. She is basically a extremely helpful person, and is very blur and cute.

As many of us are either working, schooling, we may be drifting apart slowly. But I hope that we will all stick together always.

My Darling Fabian

March 30th, 2005 by deborahwong

It was meant to be, I felt. How I know him, how I started to like him, the chemistry we have.

Let’s start from the beginning. I had just created an online matchmaking account due to some circumstances. After a few days, I received my first message from one of the members. He is Fabian. I was excited and replied. He then gave me his email add and we started to chat online.

Both of ur had never been in a relationship before. For me, I felt most of the feelings I had would be the curiosity of the possibility of a relationship. Hmmm…

From the 24 Jan 2005(Monday), We started to chat online every night, without fail. From the start, I was very interested in my new friend, I felt we had many things in common. We shared common beliefs and values. I felt we had chemistry, so much so that we even type(while chatting online…) the same thing at the same time. I was eager to know him more, understand what were his likes and dislikes, I felt I wanted to please him. I wanted to rush home everyday to chat with him. Before long, I felt something…

One week passed very quickly and by Sunday, he suggested that we chat on the phone for the first time. I had always hated to talk on the phone, I dun like the feeling of talking through a device. I am someone who prefer to talk face to face and express myself. At that time, I expressed my liking for him…

Talking for the first time was not easy for me. Hearing his voice for the first time made me extremely nervous. Suddenly, my mind stopped working! I didn’t know what to say, I wasn’t even thinking.

It was very much easier to ‘converse’ through typing on the keyboard then to say something out from the mouth. Why? Somethings you just can’t bring yourself to say out but you dun even need to think twice to type it out!

We decided to meet up one week later, on the eve of his 25th Birthday. That week was very hard to get by. We still chat every night, and I feel my liking for him grew fonder. I really felt that I LOVED him before I meet him. Hmmm…

That is why I am really sure that I like him for who he really is. No looks and materialistic factors involved at all.

I started to question myself if i really liked him or was it just an infatuation on impulse? Do I really like him or am I desperate? There was no way of return, I just wanted to follow my heart and go ahead. Throughout that week before we met up? I kept questioning him and myself. Being the kind, caring and understanding guy that he is, he kept assuring me and made me felt better.

As one week slowly crawled by, it was time to meet. This was the first time we see each other face to face. Nervous! Prior to meeting, we made a promise to be completely natural in front of each other. However, I couldn’t stop the desire to leave a good impression. I was also worried that we could not be able to talk face to face.

All those worries proved to be unnecessary. There was no awkwardness between us at all! And yes, I was natural! We first proceeded to Cineleisure to watch our first Movie-Shall We Dance. We got the lover’s seat of course… :P

The movie seemed to be short, I wasn’t really concentrating on the movie anyway… We then decided to go to the Esplanade to wait for the arrival of his Birthday! We are counting down together…

Our First photo. Poor darling, he had swollen eye that day.

We talked about many things, and time spent together with him just passed so fast. Soon midnight came and I sang a Birthday song for him. I HUGGED him, our first hug. I wanted to hug him very much even when I was chatting with him. It feel that something was finally complete within me. I finally hugged him. Ahhh…

First Entry

March 30th, 2005 by deborahwong

Being my first entry, let me talk about myself.

I am the second child in the family and I have a very adorable elder brother that looked like Crayon Shin Chan! Yeah~~ (Who needs to go to LA to study!)

I came from Lianhua Primary School which is somewhere in the Bukit Gombak area and moved on to Woodlands Ring Secondary School, where I met some of the MOST IMPORTANT people that have changed my LIFE!

Secondary School life was the BEST for me. We were the pioneers and We had some of the Teachers that really cared for you. Especially Huang Lao Shi! I will never forget her. She is like our mother who constantly developed our talent, moulding me into the person I am today. She developed me into, what I feel to be, an abled speaker, a contributor, and someone with initiative in doing things. (What do you think?)

I also had classmates that were so enthu! They are really people that I would be proud to call friends! We always take part in competition. And we always do last minute work but all are dedicated and of course, we won many of the competitions. Still remember the times we stayed back after school to start on a mural which was due the next day! And had to go early the next morning to complete it! All were so united and I really missed those times.

Life in Secondary School seemed so innocent and carefree…

And there are my "Sisters"! We shared many good times( and some bad times) together. They never gave up or belittled me, always standing beside me, supporting me. To me, the relationship between my sisters and me is very important. I do not need them to tell me everything if they do not want to, I just want them to be happy. If ever any of them have any unhappiness or need any assistance, I hope to be there for them. I will help to the best of my ability. Eventhough I cannot help, let me be there to at least offer a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on.

"Value the friend who for YOU finds time on his Calendar. CHERISH the friend who for YOU do not consult his Calendar!"

Then comes to my life in Singapore Polytechnic, where I pursued a Diploma in Chemical Process Technology (Food Technology). Initially, I could not really adapt to Poly life, which was very much different from the environment I had in Secondary School. I was so different, the people seemed to be more distant, and we had to protect ourself. After a while, I got used to Poly Life (finally) and began the journey of slacking!

There I made many friends that really added zest to my LIFE. We played and tried very hard to study, rushed to hand in datasheets and reports! And I am always late in my submissions! Thank you all lecturers and clasmates who had understood and helped me! Truely greatful. :)

Life in the Food Tech was really interesting. I loved all the practicals, especially the sensory and food flavours practicals were we made delicious ice cream and muffins! Not to forget the cookies and kaya. I LOVE Food Tech!

Lecturers of the Food Option were all so kind and understading, I will really miss them soooooooo much! And not to forget my fellow classmates that are all so fun. Haiz…

Well, the exams are coming real soon and i do hope that I can do better this semester to make up for lost grades of previous semesters, where I slacked and got very bad results! :P

Wish me LUCK!
