Sianz...I feel lotsa stress coming at me, slowly, creeping in on me day by day. How bad can it be? Well...
1) Haven't completed my Professional Profiling on an Acupucnturist
2) Continuing with my driving lessons, practical lessons coming up soon? maybe
3) Final. Year. Project. Ohh....I dread those 3 words. They mean lotsa research and literature reviews, labwork, planning, report writing,etc.
Ok cannot say anymore, feeling headache already.
With all these piling up, I'm gonna drown in them sooner or later. The time contraint really kicks in, and as pressure mounts up....I think I'm gonna EXPLODE SOON!!!
So, this year as of now, I plan to do some belated Resolutions ( Hate to say it but, it's just a target plan of some sort....to constantly remind myself of the burden I've brought forward.) , along with some personal targets of mine that I want to achieve:
1) Complete my Professional Profiling by this holiday. Could be alittle rushed, but I'm hoping to complete at least most of it, including my report of 2000 words minimum,
2) Do my best for my team for FYP project, includes alot of literature reviews if possible,
3) Complete my driving lessons thi year. simple yet complicated, knowing me being blur, and nerves may come into play when practical session arrives. Hope that I can start practical lessons together with Glenn, so can help each other along the way. Got company oso, haha.
4) Bulk up more during this year, need to put on more weight!! Stuff myself crazy maybe... =x . Excercise more oso...work out, work out, work out!!! must find motivation!!
5) Lastly, to live life a happy person, worry less. Widen my horizon by being more optimistic.
whew, pouring out my concerns really helped me feel better already. You guys should too. So until then, cya and hope I can find the motivation to be resolute on achieveing my resolutions!!
~ Some things... just cannot be rushed.
For everything else, you need T.I.M.E. Not mastercard.
A card cannot buy you time. Time needs to be organised by you yourself.

u a Yoz peeps, here I am once again....found some time to blog about afew random stuffs that has taken my notice.
What's happening in the fray now? Well, for me, its....er....The Fray? HAHA. Basically a band I have noted them for nice, clear vocals, meaningful lyrics to their songs. 8/10
Sample of their lyrics from : How to save a life
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
It's like telling a story of a guy and a girl, wanting to tell each other something, and their emotional diffculties in whether to say something....complicated..yes sir.
Oh, theres another thing, or animal rather, which has caught my fancy recently, and that is the Corgi Pembroke....its a kind of dog...breed...if thats how its termed. Yup. I think Corgis are damn cute la, with their short and seemingly stubby legs, long backs and pointy ears. The first time I saw a Crogi was at the pet shop at VivoCity. When my eyes set sights on it, my heart just literally melted away. Tell me, who could resist looking at them another time after first sight? Probably me. hehe
(who can resist me looks? woof !!)
Well, Chinese New Year's just around the corner, have you guys already done your spring cleaning? Have you Chionged your CNY goodies at the shopping marts, which, right now, are probably packed with eide-eyed, frenzying, crazy folks who prefer doing last minute shopping? I certainly done mine, including shopping for afew new clothes. Cause' last Tuesday I was out with Zhao, Samuel Kuang and Eric. We went to Parco Bugis Junction, window shopping at The EDGE, where all young, hip and trendy apparel and accessories are sold. Bought myself a Newbie t-shirt with nice prints on it...shiny ones...oooooohh~ . I also got new pair of jeans from Samuel & Kelvin, u noe...the ones with stripey ripple folds kinda thing....dunno how to describe leh...haha see liao u noe. Eric also bought t-shirt from Newbie oso, his first one with elaborate shiny prints on it...he even complained about having to wash it carefully cos of the prints LOL!!
Oh wells, its time to stop my ranting of random stuffs. Other minor things like changing my blog title to :
SH4w\ ~ Flawlessly Imperfect
To get the meaning of " Flawlessly Imperfect," :
Step 1. Find dictionary, or another alternative is Encarta
Step 2. Browse through dictionary for the 2 words
Step 3. Find out meanings, decipher " Flawlessly Imperfect"
Step 4. Either (a) bang head on wall (b) bang head on computer screen
ok random shit.....gotta go , OVER AND OUT!!

Heya peeps!! It's been a long time since I had something decent to post, so...here I am now...haha. I went out today to Bugis . I was working my way from Parco Bugis Junction to the Kuan Yin Thong Hood Cho Temple at Waterloo street to pay my respects and pray for a safe new year.
Upon reaching Waterloo street, I was looking at scores of people!! 'People mountain, people sea', as the chinese would say. What's more was that the Chinese New Year stalls and decors were mostly done up already, adding to the vibrancy of the whole of Waterloo street. I was indeed greeted with a riot of colors, sights and sounds that was unique to Waterloo street, espcially around this time of the year. There were stalls which were selling plants which had symbolic meanings to the chinese, new year goodies, Chinese New Year decoration items, and the list just goes on...
Squeezing through the hordes and winding my way around to reach the temple, I went in and offered joss sticks, praying and giving thanks to the Gods for the blessing bestowed upon us, and not forgetting to pray for the new year.
( Kuan Yin Thong Hood Cho Temple)
When I exited the temple, I headed in the direction of the hawker centre for that one and only item I always go for; either the pork/fish porridge from the porridge stall. Whenever I am within the area of Waterloo Street or after praying at the temple, I would always, without fail, get my dose of the best porridge I had ever tried. You can't imagine how good it tastes, only you have to try it to find out. But on my way there, I was enticed by the rythmic sounds of the digeridoo, drums and bells combined together. Curious, I headed in the direction of the sounds.
When I had located the source of the groovy beats, I was looking at a man, whom I asumed (upon first sight) to be a busker of some sort. He looked like he was taking a breather after the previous round of music-making, but was back to his instruments soon after. I could see that all his musical instruments were his Digeridoo, a Thai-style kind of gong, a drum and bells attached to his ankles. Amazingly, he was the one who was playing all those instruments in tuned and rythmic fashion, all by himself! I was really astonished by his talent. But he was no ordinary man it seems. He was a Japanese man leading a wondering life, and I could see his luggage behind him. From 2 boards on which he placed each on both his left and right, and roughly from what I can recall what was written on it, it says:
'My one and only reason for travelling around the world, MUSIC IS MY LIFE. With music we can communicate and it knows no borders and recognises no frontiers.'
(All the words may not be the actual thing I read but it is along the same meaning as well)
When I read those words, I was truly touched, to say the least, of his passion in music and making people like you and I realise that music is not only restricted to certain people but it lives in all of us, regardless of race, language, religion. It makes you realise how important music is to us and certainly made me more appreciative of other people like him, who has only one goal; which is to communicate with the masses with this melodious artform. Of course, he was also trying to get people to donate since he has 2 baskets in which people can out their money in, to show appreciation to his cause. But I believe that the money is mainly for his travel expenses to other parts of the world, waiting for him to deliver the same message, and allowing others like me to reflect on how music can change the world. For me, today was truly a real eye-opener, not to mention a wake up call for myself on how great someone like him was, who wanted not fame, sympathy or fortune, but just to live his passion for music.
