My reading material. December 28, 2009

its already nearing the end of another year. three days more. hmmm. then the younger two will go back to school. haha.
kay anyway, i was reading the straits times. did anyone read ‘the pluses of polytechnics’?
i concluded this much from the YouthInk writers who put down their thoughts very succintly and it makes me wish the article could take a stand:)
The highlight of the article is this: ‘Recent news reports show that polytechnic graduates are faring better than university graduates in the economic downturn. the former are taking less time to land jobs.’
Pros of going to a poly:
- because diploma holders ask for lesser pay, and have more hands on skill, employers may value them
- going to a poly opens one’s eyes to the reality of the working world
- working with different ppl on grp projects, going on industrial attachments, internships
hmmm.
My Christmas December 26, 2009
Posted by ghoulintheattic in humour, impact.add a comment
Merry christmas to everyone and apologies for not answering the messages i received the whole of yesterday. was in malaysia and unavailable:) don’t have the roaming device.
i went to kota tinggi yesterday and it was a wonderful experience. firstly because i was with extended family. mom’s sister and her family as well as mom’s brother and his family. i love them all!:D we left early in the morning and it took us till noon to actually get there. we changed and then went off into the waterfall pool. there were fishes there and they nibble at u. after a while, i didn’t mind at all. kept stubbing toes on huge rocks. they left the whole place naturall:) so its very dangerous too.
we all swum to our hearts content admist fun, laughter and a whole lorry of teasing. it was the most tremendous fun i’ve had in years with my whole family there. then we proceeded to where the waterfall forms a plunge pool. ooh the foamy water hits hard!! can’t see! and when ppl say ‘don’t go there its rocky’ they really mean it. my sis cut herself on rocks. your feet can slip on moss and get stuck. i ended up sitting on my cousin’s toes to have some footing. i swear i can now write ‘kota tinggi chronicles’. the roadside foodsellers had more flies than customers. and i plucked some flowers to give mommy. but we didn’t get to see the wild elephants or water buffaloes cos we werent lucky.
we swum for hours and hours. ate and went back in. hee. i learnt to float on my back and do the doggy paddle. then we went shopping in the town area( i got pretty footwear and earrings but my earrings are now missing whee). everything is tons cheaper than in singapore. ah im a fat, happy, contended kid with so much more to say but can’t find words. i like my eeleegal, streetsmart cousins and wish i was more like them.
they know how exactly to go abt shopping, the best prices to get and why not to trust a certain salesman. im not going into toilets. nothing beats singapore’s. we actually have tissue, cleanliness and no camel like smells. we also have more than one shower stall in resorts. nobody waits in queues for almost two hours. also, our doors are fully intact. no half broken doors:) (i really mean only the top part of a door was there).
i wish we had taken photos but its ok, i have a pretty photographic memory.
day before yesterday was movie day. for the first time i watched that kind of film, and while i’m sure there are better movies around, the experience was very new. uncle’s family’s doing of course. so i have indeed been occupied and i still am. im glad to be doing something and i resolve to see family more often. we’re all sunburnt and brown. and im aching slightly.
i bet Viki’s doing worse. he slipped and fell right on his side into the water. hit his hand, butt and hip i bet. i only saw a ping pong ball sized swellingXD on his hand though. he didn’t say where else he was injured.
the generation gap between older kids and us is huge cos we do tb things. they don’t! even swimming. its strange how they develop their own ways and do weird things or how they are able to have so much fun at sch and do things they can get away with 
i bet we’d be murdered if we tried to do things like that. hahahaha.

yesterday was an awesome day at an uncle plus aunt’s house. came back at twelve plus or so in the morning. but we lost mom’s phone. sister got into st.marg’s sec. she’s going for orientation tomorrow. anyway, today i went out at eleven in the morning and returned at five plus in the evening. burnt an entire day at the passport office!! 
it was baby galore..kids everywhere. screaming, crying, being cute. hahaha. it was a super windy day and everybody was holding down their skirts and hair. hehe. one old man was spreading out his arms and allowing the wind to push his body back. he DANCED with the wind. he’s so cool.
my poor nephew is crying for my brother and i think he looks really heartbroken. sigh.
kay bye, botanical garden tomorrow and if i’m lucky a movie.
happy birthday to you!!
need to collect bother’s bookies tomorrow.
my neighbour’s baby finally allowed me to carry her without crying.
my cousin’s son is win. he’st THE most adorable infant and he barely cries. he reminds me of a cute duck:D
i love all my cousins!(sisters and brothers)
and im out of happy things to say. goodaay.

Wrapping Up December 14, 2009

Reading back into countless emotions and thoughts and feelings on the roller coaster ride that has been 2009, i realised, to some people, we weren’t more than a haze of passing clouds. and yet to some other people, our projected indifference was the biggest disappointment. i don’t know what to say. the relationships we forged are something Singaporeans like us are very familiar with. the tentative smile, the awkward wave, the rare hello. the huge gap we draw using the name of formality, propriety. the aloofness we teach ouselves(very well i might add) to showcase, forgetting the other person we’re interacting with is just as human. sometimes, even hurting them with our nonchalance. why is it so difficult to be open, honest ,grateful, sincere and loving?
so where is the sense of satisfaction? the humaness in the end?
why do we automatically place harsh words or thoughts on one person for not placing the same amount of importance on technology and non-personal greetings and not responding to it because to them, the lack of personal touch is mortifying.
i want to see, how many of these rare wishes and aloof,forced hellos will last. i want to see just how many of these relationships survive the test of time.
till then.
Review December 11, 2009

okay technichally i’m not supposed to be here. but lol. i am!
I have been making crafts. back to kindergarten basics. i already have a beautiful butterfly card and a pop up frog is on its way to coming alive. i love art! im no artist but i can draw things that aren’t 3D:) like cartoons. card making is an old hobby which i intend to take a long way. i checked out the creative arts programme isis told me about. i have to submit a portfolio to be accepted by may next year and it asks for things like a ‘teacher’s reccomendation’. i suppose that’ll have to wait then. anyway, i wanted to review twilight -new moon.
i liked the movie to some extent. jacob was cute but edward was way too pale(makes me wonder if snape looks that way as well). i felt sad for jacob and i wished i understood why bella felt the dire need to lead him on even though it had ‘always been edward’. she broke his heart!! yes i am aware that she didn’t do anything drastic with jacob like kissing him full but still, she did enough. and jacob seemed to pine after her. maybe its because he knew she was accepting of non-human or part-humans like vampires already and so, because he was werewolf, she’d accept him. but im sure any other girl would have as well.
Due to my limited(very) knowledge as a non twilight fan, i can’t say much but i didn’t get to see what victoria was capable of.:) just that she’s got stalkerish tendencies. haha. i liked the cliff diving. and i don’t like how edward was prepared to expose his glowing body to the vampire hunters(if that’s what they’re called) and the sun cos he presumed bella was dead. his love for her wasn’t very vocal though he was really strong. she seemed helplessly in love with him but he was the one who attempted suicide:) and bella’s facial expressions during the movie(half closed eyes), i wonder if it was deliberate?
i really need someone to explain the story to me. i was recently instructed by die hard fans to watch heroes and friends. so i shall. i will post pictures of my handicraft once they’re complete and i get my phone back.
Yesterday was a sad and dreary day. i hope today gets better as it progresses. Afiqah wants me to write a novel. i don’t think i can but i will try to start writing. happy outwardbounding and thank you for the phonecall
whatwillidowithoutyoupeople..
Much Love.
PS: N, i’d love to attend the open house with you. about the other activity, im afraid i’ll have to seek permission first. H, i’ll try come exercise. call me?(hm phone..hehe)
