Haha recently I have been reading blogs more than writing ones. Ever since most of my friends start setting up blogs, I realized I spend a lot of time reading them. Previously I had this question of what was I busy in life when I am not studying, not going out and not sleeping. I got my answer. Stonning on the net, reading about other people's lives and views. Its so funny the moment people dun see me online, they know I am studying for my quiz. Am I online that often? Hahaha.

Well reading all the blogs this time round, there seem to be a common ongoing craze, haha name "prediction"? Thanks to our dear Juneberry, she posted this website that can tell character from chinese names. Everyone start posting theirs, but I have nothing to post. Ahaha the website dun have my name. So having to eat sour grapes, I have to think of something bad bout these stuff. HOw accurate are they? Just like horoscopes and stuff, sometimes they do end up predicting the right things. How can the whole world be categorized under a 12 groups? Or when it comes to names, parents can mould their child into whatever they want them to be by giving them good names? I once read somewhere, that these readings usually state things in a very broad way, so as to capture almost every aspect. The moment the reader spots something they think its their personality or to their liking, their mind will quickly take that part out and deregistered all the other bad or untrue things they saw, thus in the process, almost all readings are true and accurate to them. Before all of you really think I am eating sour grapes here, I am a great fan of such games and horoscopes too. HAhah despite having doubts, sometimes it wouldn't hurt to have a little fun and enjoyment in reading such stuffs. So as my parents always tell me, my name suggests I will grow into a WEI da and CHONG ming person.... I really wonder how true....

FOr my other friends who might be reading and curious about the website, here it is:

Well I had a very fun lesson todae. Guess in my whole NTU life, only todae's lesson can be considered fun. Because We did nothing except guess the rose petals puzzle, riddles and play an interesting game call Financial Quotient. The aim of the game is to make wise investments, with the structure something like monopoly. Haha almost won the games with my huge investment, except for it to be drained away by my stupid children in the game. One big advice, think before you give birth next time. Hahaha.
Another interesting thing is the riddle he gave, "What is more holy than GOd and more evil than the Devil". It is said kindergarden kids know the answer in 5 mins, while only 10% Standford University students managed to get the answer, after 1 hr. I got the answer in 5 mins, so sad to know I still think like a kindergarden kid. Poor me.... Haha.

Well, Vdae is officially over and it was quite an eventful dae afterall. Perhaps the most unforgetable thing about it was us walking on the road for more than 500m, searching for the "famous" McCafe along the West Coast Park. Alas when we reach the supposely to be "nice ambience" cafe, we were dissapointed to see it fully packed with people, at 9pm, comparable to a town's Mac at dinner time. Nevertheless, we all had a great dae with the gifts and such. Hope you like the daisies.

With the Vdae over, now its time for me to share some occupation jokes with you all, especially to accountants and engineers. Hahaha.

Three Accountants
Three accountants were in the urinal performing their morning constitutional.The first accountant finishes and walks over to the sink to wash his hands. Very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the other two other accountants, he says "At KPMG, we are trained to be extremely thorough".
The second accountant finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turns and says "At Ernst & Young, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient".
The third accountant finished and walks straight for the door. "At Arthur Andersen, we don't pee on our hands".

The Engineer Joke
There are three engineers in a car; an electrical engineer, a chemical engineer and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly the car just stops by the side of the road, and the three engineer look at each other wondering what could be wrong.The electrical engineer suggests stripping down the electronics of the car and trying to trace where a fault might have occurred.
The chemical engineer, not knowing much about cars, suggests that maybe the fuel is becoming emulsified and getting blocked somewhere.
Then, the Microsoft engineer, not knowing much about anything, comes up with a suggestion, "Why don't we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it'll work!?"

Hmm... This will be my first post in Feb, and for the past week, things has been going really well for me. I was pretty much in the holidae mood, played alot of games, went out a couple of times and life could'nt be better. Ok well, not that fantastic, but I have grown to learn that as long there is nothing to complain in life, I should be thankful for it already.

I went to try on this ring with Jiahui yesterdae and gosh, I am telling you its no easy task for me. I alway have the ring phobia. When I put it on, I felt as if the whole world's weight is coming onto me. The power of committment, never underestimate it. And no matter what design I choose, it doesn't look nice on me. Hahah the sales girl did had some fun in serving us, in particular seeing how uneasy I felt. In the end we still bought it, and I was really quite happy with the result. The more I look at it, the more I am getting used to it. I think a lot of things needs time, especially round ones.

Lastly, I had a wondeful time at the RSPHI reunion dinner. I had lots of fun, playing bingo and throwing the yu sheng around. Haha tried bonding with the juniors, but alway felt that there is the age gap. Am I really getting that old? I hope not man! Then went to a wonderful place for coffee, but end up having stomachache for that night. I could only slept at 5 am in the morning. Why would I still say nice coffee? The reason is simple, sometimes the activity you do or the place you are at does not matter. Its the people you are with, and to me, I was with some of my best friends that dae. Happy Chinese New Year in advance!
