face your manga!
erm. shit. i ought to be mugging!
grrr.
anyway, not sure if you all know about this site.. but it’s basically you try to create your face in a manga/cartoon way..
here’s me!
eh, it wasn’t that easy to create la. (maybe takes about 5 minutes or so) because they’ve got a fixed template of the shape of the eyes, ears, eyebrows, face etcetc. but i did this while looking in the mirror!
eh, okay.. so the hair is t
he wrong side.. but they wouldn’t allow me to change the parting ma!
and here’s hanwei!
looks like him right? no? hahah. please ignore the ugly me in the photos…
anyway, i did two more..
ehh.. fictional characters..basically just to make a chio girl and a handsome guy…
they look good right?
okay, go and try it!
http://www.faceyourmanga.it/faceyourmanga.php?lang=eng
just click on “create” to start!
okayyyy
thank God that the topics i spotted came out. so it wasn’t too bad.
anyway… i am super damn pissed off with iro/scisep lah! i mean now the stupid NASA (exchange award) thingy is already out.. then we haven’t even gotten our status for the university.. then obviously we won’t get it because we haven’t even gotten a bloody confirmation la!
then they keep saying that they’re settling but freaking shit, they’re taking so damn long la!
damn pissed off. thanks to the stupid nus… cheated us of our stupid bond.. wtf.. then they still want to make us pay the forfeit for not going???
urgh.
i am going to email iro now man. even if they had given a confirmation now it would have been so damn late la! and the person who’s in charge of this approval is going away to japan 4 days after my paper ends. and we all know it takes time to communicate between here and france.
so fucking pissed off.
i think i shall apply for like post grad in france la! since education is cheap, and masters are in english and not french, so no problem about the language.
GGRRRRRRR
PANICK!
i’m so dead.
i have never touched this before today. and my exam is like today (since it’s 2.33am now)
i’m nowhere near half done.
wait, make it i’m nowhere near 1/4 done maybe.
i’m fucked.
i seriously feel like crying. i wish deardear was here to comfort me.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH
wah
so much of a coincidence.
first that, now this.
makes me ponder.
2 down
3 to go.
oh gosh. i can feel my headache already.
such a freaking lack of time. and i’m such a procrastinator.
okayyy.. mugging time! wheeee~~~~~~~~~~~
wonder when can i see my deardear again.
my eyebags are growing larger by the minute! oh gosh, maybe i should buy those eye patches thingy… lol. i wanna go swimming on wed after my microb paper!!!
ok, or maybe thursday morning instead. i don’t like the crowd. especially if you want to swim back, and obviously don’t have eyes at the back of your head.. but somehow people who are swimming towards you and can see you clearly don’t realise that.
oh wait, lemme rant about something today!
aiyah, it’s just about some 2 idiotic ah tiongs in the train this morning who
1. talk damn loudly (and i was trying to revise my work la can!)
2. have smelly breath! damn disgusting ah. i was practically dying of the stench and cos it’s so crowded i couldn’t shift anyway
3. damn heavy! that stupid woman collapse on me… AND DIDN’T EVEN SAY SORRY! and she’s damn quaint la! like cos i was holding my notes, so it was obviously jabbing into her boobs, and she said she would rather stand like that than move anywhere! ehhh… does she get like some sense of pleasure whenever something jabs her boobs or something? wth?
4. damn kiasu! what’s this about singaporeans being kiasu. please la! we’re not even the ones to shovel and push to get the seats la. once there was someone who got up, then they would excited shout “快点抢位子坐啦!快点快点!不要让别人坐!” seriously i don’t think singaporeans can win in terms of kiasu-ness. it’s just that they don’t use this singlish term back in their own land k!
oh just let me die…
ok no, just kidding. i am not sucidal.. because.. as discussed the other time i will be too damn scared to be suicidal.
okay, digress a little first. it was during gen physio lab.. then my group mates and i were somehow talking about suicide. i can’t remember why.. maybe it’s related to the lecturer’s “can you commit suicide by holding your breath” question. anyway.. i don’t know if you know me.. but i’ll probably be the last person on earth to commit suicide.
let’s see why.
1. some people take lots of pills (which is stupid, because if you don’t die, your kidney would be severely damaged!)..
reason why i won’t do that: i’m damn scared of taking pills la! have you seen me taking pills? i need to gulp down so much water just for ONE pill. how to take more than one?
2. some people jump off the building.
reason why i won’t do that: i’m too scared to even go up to the building. i think my legs will turn into jelly just at the thought of taking the lift up, thanks to my wonderful height phobia.
3. some people slit their wrist.
reason why i won’t do that: i will be trembling like shit, and will probably faint even before i cut myself. because i can’t stand the excessive amount of blood.
so yeah.. everytime i write a comment like “i’m dying”, “just let me die”.. know that it’s just a passing comment ok? lol.
oh ya, so anyway.. back to the topic.
it’s because from monday to wednesday next week.. i have 3 core papers.
1 of which, i’m almost done mugging.. but panicking because i think i can’t remember what i studied earlier!
another one which is mcq & true/false (with negative marking. duh!).. which constitutes like technically 40% and it shouldn’t be that bad especially since i’ve covered some of the stuff with my another module (which i had exam today for).. but i have no idea why am i panicking too.
and the last one?
i haven’t started.
OMG.
know you know why i made that comment.
OMG!
exams start tmr! hmm im seriously quite tempted to go to the airport to study…
because of this stupid drilling. so damn noisy la! plus my family is coming back tonight!!!
but a bit boliao la. they’re touching down in about 6 hours time.. by the time i bathe, take bus there etcetc.. i think not too much time to study at the airport alr. should have gone there early this morning man! but my notes were at home and not at hw’s place so i couldn’t go straight from there.
oh well, mugging time!
ironic
you know, it’s so ironic.
when my family was in the house.. i would find them so noisy.. making it so difficult for me to study..
because my mum would always be shouting at my bro, my bro will always be pestering me to use my laptop to play games, my dad would be watching tv loudly..
but now when i have the whole place to myself.. cos they’re away in hk for holidays…
i feel so damn lonely.
bleahh.
i love the weekend!
why? because i don’t have to wake up to the drilling sound on weekends that’s why!
well, until some bloody idiotic neighbour is singing karoke at the moment that is..
i don’t know which is more irritating.
out of tune karaoke or drilling?
my guess is… out of tune karaoke is more irritating.. cos at least for drilling, it’s like a constant tone, at a constant speed, blahblah.. seems easier to just block it out as background noise! lol. actually it’s better once i close the windows and doors la..
it’s funny how every morning i would just search around for the most quiet spot and study there. i mean, have you studied in the kitchen’s dining table before?
or say, your brother’s study table?
or even… the bathtub in your parents’ bedroom? wahaha. i know it sounds damn weird, but it’s actually quite nice and cosy in there. ehh, no i do not have a bubble bath as i study, otherwise my skin will become wrinkly from the long hours la! lol.
oh dear, tomorrow is monday. i wonder where should i study instead.. since my parents will be flying off tmr… maybe i should just bring my stuff to the airport to study! lol. where is good though? cos they’ll be at terminal 3….
harry’s bar? nah, later the tv becomes distracting.
tcc?
hmm, actually i realised t3 doesn’t have that many cafes/coffee places to study though. haha. will see how tmr la. :)
or maybe i’ll just end up studying at home. lol
go and read this post!
this is damn funny. seriously.
fucking pissed.
ok i’m not usually so vulgar in my blog but i’m seriously damn pissed.
i dunno to be pissed at sci dean’s office or at iro.. or BOTH.
1. iro told us we were bonded, so we need not apply to any other uni other than insa.
reality: we didn’t get to go.
never mind.
2. iro they said they understand our plight and our “bond”, so they are willing to let us choose any uni in france. (note, not ANY uni, as previously thought to be.wtf)
reality: we heard from sci dean’s office that if we don’t manage to find a uni to go to, we have to pay the forfeit of a few K. wtf i ask you? is it my choice? did i not want to go? u didn’t accept any life science people, what can we do? you ask me to pay, i’m going to write a petition with a rest of the other 10+ ppl man! wtf!
3. sci dean’s office told us we should not have contacted the PU directly, when they obviously told us the other day to find out if there are any spaces in the other unis, because it’s too damn late and most applications have closed. so what is it about being pissed off with us for contacting the PUs?
4. upmc is so willing to let us go, but sci dean’s office said that it’s a VERY BIG PROBLEM if they have to let extra 4 ppl from UPMC to come to life sci. hello can i ask you, what’s the cohort of life science? 600? 700? 800? i don’t know.. but surely FOUR don’t make too much of a difference. why don’t you just let four less C.A.T.s to come here instead. there were a whole bunch at the canteen today, and oh fuck, were they damn noisy and irritating!
5. they keep telling us to choose other unis for backup. i have checked like every fucking uni in france (those that are PUs of course, and i can’t get any other unis that have modules that we can take. and it’s total waste of my time since it’s the exam period). so why do you keep asking me to search other unis when obviously i have searched and told you repeatedly that it’s impossible?
6. so now even if we get our modules approved, sci dean’s office may not let us go! wtf! i pray hard that the associate dean to approve. i also hope that everyone who reads this can help me pray too. (ok kidding, just do so if you want to. lol)
wtf la seriously. aren’t you damn pissed if you were me too?
couldn’t you just have liaised properly or told us to map to other unis, so that we don’t have to go through all these trouble, during our busy exam time?
it’s in red because i’m boiling and i think i have just burst a blood vessel/vomited blood.
a little spark of hope?
i heard from uni of pierre and marie curie!! (UPMC).
gotta check with the admin if there are spaces. but that guy in charge is so nice! he told us to submit the list of modules we have taken, and the list of modules we want to take (provided we fulfilled the pre-requisties).. so i may be on my way to paris instead!
to nx: erm, i’m keeping my fingers crossed. i don’t really want to stay in ___ you know. it’s so shitty.
to dear: oops. what if there are changes to the taiwan thingy? anyway i’ll keep you updated! :)
anyway i think upmc is really nice. cos..
1. they’re willing to help us settle everything quickly (ironically our OWN home uni’s IRO is taking 6218642368161836 years to call INSA)
2. they allow you to bring french/eng dictionaries in during CA and exams.. if your mother tongue isn’t french! just have to get a letter from the secretariat. which is fine by me :)
3.it’s like a medical/science uni.. unlike insa which is an engine uni and now i have so many more modules to choose from..
some facts from wiki..
UPMC is now the largest scientific and medical complex in France, active in all fields of research with scope and achievements at the highest level, as demonstrated by the many awards regularly won by UPMC researchers, and the many international partnerships it maintains across all five continents.
It has over 180 laboratories, most of them associated with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique.
It is located on the Jussieu Campus in the Latin Quarter of the 5th arrondissement in Paris.
Some of its most notable institutes and laboratories include the Institut Henri Poincaré, Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris, Laboratoire d’informatique de Paris 6, Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu/Chevaleret (shared with University Paris Diderot) and the Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel (shared with Ecole Normale Supérieure).
The University’s Faculty of Medicine includes the Pitié-Salpêtrière and Saint-Antoine hospitals.
The University is ranked 39th in the World and 1st in France by the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities.The UPMC is a member of Paris Universitas.
4. other than just life science modules, i can now take stuff like language, sports, theatre, music (i don’t mind learning the guitar!), design..
5. upmc looks really nice and modern.

and it’s just next to le/la seine! (sorry i can’t remember if this river is masculine or feminine)
insa, on the other hand… looks like it’s going to crumble anytime..

i think this was where i plucked that maple-leaf=lookalike leaf from..

the halls

6. a quick googlemaps search..
shows that’s it’s just next to jardines des plantes!
omg! in case you don’t know how pretty that place is..





erm, i tell you. i can study in the park everyday man!
hope there’s no problem with the admin over there!
hey! i’m alive!
erm. for now. hahhahhaha.
omg, exams are coming so soon. i’m freaking unprepared.. doing as much as i can.. doing the best i can…oh well. taking 5 core modules in one sem is NO JOKE.
and what’s more?
freaking shit. i took TWO moduels in vain! because they were supposed to be my pre-requisities for my modules at INSA…. KANASAI.. in the end i couldn’t go to INSA as well.. despite being bonded.. dammit. and i HATE those two modules somemore la! grrrr…
oh wait wait. must psycho myself..
OMG! I LOVE STUDYING! ESPECIALLY THOSE TWO MODULES!! WHEE~~~~
why do i have a feeling i’m like a swining pendulum? lol.
anyway.. erm.. shit, i forgot what i wanted to say…
.
.
.oh ya! i said goodnight to deardear an hour ago, saying that i was damn tired and am going to bed.. guess what.. i’m still here. lol. damn motivated to finish my assignment, at least more or less get the points out.. do a proper typing tmr.. yaay!
but ok la, i have like 3 more journals to read.. should wrap up in 45 mins or so?
oh well.. at least i still get my usual 6-9 hours of sleep per day.
okay, anyway.. in case you guys don’t realize.. you can click on the title of each post.. to get to that individual post.. so that the photos and stuff will be larger…
ohohoh.. and deardear and i should be going to TW! TAIWAN!!! woots~~~
i have NEVER been to taiwan, in case you don’t know either. well i figured out since i saved quite a bit of money (thanks to the france sep thingy)… then i prety much have quite a bit to spend.. but of course, i’m NOT going to spend ALL. duh.
and i think dd is very sweet. cos he wanted to spend either christmas and/or new year with me in taiwan.. which is like so aaawwwwww….
okay, back to work!
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS BABES! :):):)
CAFE DEL MAR AFTER EXAMS!!!!
looks like although i can’t go for exchange, i’ve got loads of happy exciting stuff awaiting me! :)
it’s a small world after all…
lol. i was reading yy’s blog (ironically).. and i found one person in his photos damn familiar…
ps. words in blue and italics are taken from yy’s blog.
i will like to introduce to you:
one of my classmates, who is also national team trialthlete, nike human race female category champion, nus sportswoman of the year and i think still got many more titles; helping me to cut the cake. *honoured*
i was thinking.. hmm, doesn’t it look like dinah? (for those who don’t know, she was from my senior class.. same swim team in nus..)
and upon scrolling up to the previous photo…
oh yeah, it is after all! lol i didn’t know she went into teaching pe right after graduation.. but actually, that’s not something very unexpected i think. hahaha.
on a sidenote… HAPPY MUGGING EVERYONE!
with that i shall end with some photos i compiled the other day and posted on photoblog..

a collage of the different “shapes” of the moon.. i mean, of course i know it’s always round.. i mean the part that’s being reflected la ok?
from this…

ps. notice how bright the star/satellite/planet beside it was!!!
to this…

MUGGING SUCKS! LOL
change of theme!
anyway, if u do wish to view bigger pictures instead of them being squashed up like this.. just click on the individual titles. this idea comes from a magazine… i think i like it!
oh gosh, only jeron received the email from insa.. does this mean no one else got it? please tell me it’s the time difference thingy. wah crap.
also, my neighbour’s maid just returned from indo/phillippines. she was sick the other time so she returned to have a rest. and my gosh.. she seriously doesn’t know what it means to be socially apt la!
when she saw me.. she said…
she: “wah, you grow very fat already”
me: ehhh.. okkk.
she: *uses hand to gesture bulging figure* very very fat!
me: erm.. yeahh…
she: must be never exercise…
me: erm.. yeahhh..
she: very very fat!
i think i practically just slammed the door in her face.
i mean.. okok i get the point.. no need to keep repeating and no need to be so direct!!!
grrrr..
homecoming day!
wanted to go to blk 85 at bedok to eat bah chor mee.. unfortunately it wasn’t open :( had to eat nasi lemak instead. oh and btw dear.. my daddy said he really knew that person cos she was our ex-neighbour la! see, i told you i found her super familiar lah!!
anyway, went to vj after that for homecoming! didn’t enter the PT though.. didn’t exactly want to hear the talks and stuff. hahaha.
instead.. we were at the treehouse!


do you realize how different the field looks? apparently it was sponsored by MCYS.. woot.. and there are billboards too la! my gosh. looks like a real soccer field! lol.
hw: wah, your school’s soccer field got the lines one ah?
me: oh? IS IT? *stares* OMG! it wasn’t there last time!

apparently, lots of the sports are sponsored by adidas.. hence the billboards..


the lovely treehouse!

while sitting up there. i added a bit of the blurness effect. looks nice don’t you think? kind of like a more dreamy effect :)


the infamous turtle pond. no, of course i know i took photos of koi. but seriously… it WAS a turtle pond man. hoho. brings back memories of dunking!
went to hw’s place after that.. took some photos of the gifts i made/gave to him..


this is actually a box which contained the crystal thing but i wrote a message on it..



the glow in the dark puzzle we made. unfortunately this was taken in the day.


what i mean by ange-gardien.

a moon and a star/planet/satellite side by side when i returned home!

erm, as you can probably tell.. i really love taking photos ok! too bad i don’t have a dslr.. so i have to make do with my lumix instead :( so obviously the shots aren’t going to be very professional looking since i don’t have the proper lenses and i can’t really adjust my focal length and all :(
well but i hope you enjoyed looking at them anyway! :) let me know which one you like the most!
oh btw i chose that background because.. well it’s HALLOWEEN! somewhat fits halloween i guess.. hahaha.
anyway, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
it’s VJ homecoming tomorrow!
