Another 'interesting' presentation from the Couple's gang...
Birds of a feather flock together...just when I thought that girl-half of the Couple was the only one with a weird presentation, enter her friend...who's always with them. Today, it became clear to me how these two could be good friends.... -_-;;; Let me tell you what's the differences between the two presentations...
Firstly, while the girl picked a weird job, her friend, whom I shall call 'Bai' (Chinese for white, coz she normally wears white...of course, you can attach some other words at the back for different meanings..) Well, 'Bai' has a pretty normal job...a lecturer.
Secondly, while the girl was bombarded with questions, 'Bai' hardly had any. The reason?? Let me then say this is where the similarity starts. The presentation was weird....WEIRD!!!
She came up to the front to present, and the first thing she said was "My name is *beep* and I will be your PSY001 lecturer."
I thought, 'Okay, so she's going to roleplay...'
Then after that, she said, "I give you 5 minutes to ask me questions about my job."
What??? You haven't presented anything, what do you expect us to ask?? All of us were like staring at her dumbfounded...for once, I couldn't think of what to ask. Then 3 people asked la...
"Do you think you're qualified to teach?"
"Why a lecturer?"
"What is your long-term goal?"
Then after that...total silence....I think if I dropped a pen, it'll sound like I dropped a brick. Most of us then thought, 'Ah, maybe she wants to do the Q&A session first, then do her presentation...' because the next thing she said was, "If there are no more questions, I will proceed with the lecture. (pause) That is the end of the roleplaying session. Are there any questions about my presentation?"
Of course don't have la! You haven't presented anything! So we all sat quietly and waited patiently for her to go on....then....
"Thank you."
What? Huh? Huh?? Over already??
That was how all of us were feeling then. I actually really wanted to ask her something but I didn't because I don't really have the authority...and I might make a poor little girl cry, so I kept me mouth shut. I shall rant here!
Granted, you are qualified to teach, but what makes you suitable for the job? What makes you stand out from the rest? There is a difference between being qualified and being suitable.
Are you aware that we are your future employers and not your future students? Do you feel that you have the right temperament to be a lecturer? (Given that I've seen her burst into tears over some silly issue of not being the best)
Given that the objective was to persuade us that you are suitable for this job, do you think the presentation style was appropriate? Do you think you have effectively persuaded us, who are your prospective employers?
I admit that this is very creative, but do you think you have provided us with sufficient information to decide whether to hire you or not? If the information is not sufficient, are you aware that you will not be considered for the job?
Haih...I'm utterly convinced that some people just have low EQ...or no common sense. -_-;;;
On a side note, my own presentation went okay. I think I managed to answer the needs of the presentation, so I'm glad. Finally, I'm totally free from assignments and projects! Now off to meh books...*scuttles off*

Super funny day at church
Church was good today....something touching happened, something hilarious happened..let's go in chronological order.
Bible study at 8.30...yeah, had a different 'teacher' this week too... Li Li was her name, I think. Combined class today so...woah, a lot of people. Then service was awesome. I found it very meaningful...and relevant to what I was thinking about.
And now...the highlight of this post. XD *already laughing just thinking about it* After service, went to lunch with the cell members....and well, one of them just had uh...an unforeseen crisis. Naturally, when 6 girls gather together and she brought up a topic like that...all of us pestered her to tell us.
I was eating wantan mee that time...just hearing the beginning part was so funny, I was trying hard to chew and swallow while grinning from ear to ear. XDDDD And my cell leader just walked over, so she had to repeat the story. At this point, my laughing meter was already reaching the full tank. But I continued to eat without really laughing. While I was drinking soup....aish, she blurted out the highlight. It was sooooo funny that I was totally overcome by a sudden desire to burst into delirious, hysterical laughter.....which I most unfortunately did....with my mouth full of soup....so yeah....ended up spraying "holy water" halfway across the table and "blessing" 2 members.
Sorry! >< But I really couldn't help it....it was soo funny!! And my cell leader...and other members were laughing their heads off when I did that, which didn't help, coz it made me laugh even more! LOL Aigoo~~~ it was sooo embarrassing, but it was soooo hilarious!!!
PS: Rev. Ps. Kong of City Harvest S'pore will be coming to City Harvest KL to preach! He's a wonderful man of god, so do come for the service and listen to him preach. It will touch your lives. For more details, pm me! ^_~ *hinthint* You guys are attending right?

L Change the World + My take on friendship
Ok...let me first do this...*squuuuuuuuuueeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllll* Yaaa~~ Matsuken is soooooo cute/cool/charming/quirky!!!!
Okies, now on with the story. After our 103 finals, during lunch, my friends and I were discussing when we should go and see the movie L: Change the World. And since we had time to spare, we decided to go there and then! So 5 of us....Karmun, Mika, Gorgan, Ling and I (actually Jas was with us too, but she didn't go for the movie) went and watched the show la.
My take on it? Totally satisfying! XD I shall comment without spoiling (too much). XD
Storyline
Sound...admittedly the plot isn't something as groundbreaking as the previous movies, but most of the aspects were covered pretty well..no major plotholes (and we all know how thankful we must be to that)
Visuals
This is of course, cool. Directed by the director of The Ring (sorry, can't remember the name) so there were some parts which were really cringe-worthy. Aside from that, totally no prob!
Cast
Aaahhh...now this is what I really wanna comment on..saving the best for the last, let me start with the little boy. Haha, he's such a cute boy! Basically he didn't have many lines, but I think for a kid as young as him, he did pretty well in conveying his character. Next, the girl who played Maki. Guys (and girls, too), never piss off a girl/woman/lady...you will suffer the consequences. Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned. The actress, whose name I can't recall, is good with her expressions, especially of anger. The look she put on her face...woah... She's also very pretty.
Now, the main star of the show....Matsuyama Kenichi!!! Kyaaa~~~ He's soooo cool in this! And portraying L's cute antics perfectly, I must say he captured L's character wonderfully. And the best part is you get to see the different...more human parts, of L's personality. Characters like L are not easy to play, so I think Matsuken did a great job. LOL, on screen, whenever L did something cute, the whole cinema would react. XD And when he did something cool..well, I don't know about the rest of the cinema, but Mika and I clapped LOL.
So yes, people! Go watch it! For those who lament the lack of L cameo during the previous movies, this is the movie to watch. I assure you you'll fall deeper for this quirky character L, and be enamoured by the charms of his actor, Matsuyama Kenichi.
Ok, now that's finally out of my system...let me progress to something a little more...bland. I heard this phrase....from someone...whom I honestly don't have much respect for (and I'm having less and less respect).
Some friends are like diamonds, precious and hard to find.Some friends are like fallen leaves, could be found everywhere.
Now...I won't talk about the person who said this (because all of us know ma...) but I'll give my opinion on this topic of friendship.
Friends, in my vocab, are never diamonds. To me, false friends are like diamonds. Why? Because they're just for looks. They cost you everything, but give you nothing in return, except for a pleasant outer perception. Really, I really could do without diamond-like friends.
I have no analogy for a real friend, but I can tell you this...a real friend doesn't judge you, they don't push you away when you turn to them...they share your laughter and your tears. When you do something wrong, they correct you and then comfort you. When you achieve something, they might tease you, but in their hearts they will rejoice for you. I think, real friends are the ones who you could always call in the middle of the night, and they'd still entertain you (provided they hear their phones la...) More than anything, a real friend knows how not to compromise you for his/her own sake.
I don't know how many real friends I've met in my 20 years....but I know I've met a bunch of people who I trust to be my real friends, and who trust me to be their friend in return too. What about you?

Interesting day + Suju-M!?
Wow, had a really interesting day today! First and foremost, thankies Karmun for fetching me to college today! Last tut for 103, but hey, at least it was interesting. Handed up all my assignments, so yeah..now I can finally concentrate on revision. Some highlights of today:
Coffee with Ai Rene at San Franscisco's
Met Ai Rene before MC100 tut...she asked me if I wanted to go and have coffee with her, so I did since I had time to kill. So, Ai Rene and I..and her friend whose name I cannot recall, the 3 of us went to San Frans'. For as long as I've been studying in Block E, that's the first time I stepped into that shop. Ordered the hot choc 'cause I don't drink coffee XD
For almost an hour, Ai Rene and I talked about anime and BL stuff...yeah, lol... We were totally fangirling over seiyuus. Her poor friend....Mei Hui! There, I remembered her name! XD Mei Hui...hopefully she didn't feel too left out lol. But yeah...then Edward came in and we all went back to Block E. And then, I asked Ai Rene the unimaginable.
"Does [someone] not like me? I get the feeling that she's not too pleased with me." We all know who la ha... Anyhoo, I asked her that and she blandly told me yes. LOL! Well, not outright la, but of course anyone can see that things aren't really smooth between me and that person. But yeah...I said it must be because I'm "loud and annoying" *ahemquotesomeoneahem*
Then she said, "Yeah...and probably because you're very outgoing too."
Excuse me? You have a problem with me because I'm outgoing?? That's like, the weirdest reason I've ever heard. But even Ai Rene admits that it's 'cause of a clash of personalities. Yep, you got that right, girl. And so we discussed at length about the person....her different background and all...then I brought up another unimaginable topic...
Proximity...yep...that person's issue with personal (invading, more like) space. I can't quite believe myself....I mean, I actually went and said "If [someone] was being that close to a girl, then it's still okay, but to a guy I think...in M'sia anyway, [someone] should learn to respect other people's personal space." Then yeah, I brought up the whole...shimmying up to a guy thing...mentioned that it's not appropriate, especially when said someone does it to a guy from a totally different cultural background. Again, we all know who la.
So yeah...Ai Rene was like, "I'll talk to her about it." Ah well, as long as it can serve to better people, I can live with the fact that I just tried to advise that person indirectly. ><
The couple: female half's presentation
The Couple...some of you will know who I'm talking about...doesn't matter if you don't. Anyhoo...the girl..well...today is her turn to present in MC100. Gosh, at first I thought she was just different, but now she's plain weird!
"My next career move is to be a professional neutraliser." Translation: Professional assassin.
.........
Uh, excuse me? Are you delusional? You want a future career that involves killing people? And you give us all these crap qualifications about having weapons training and whatnots....are you even telling us one-tenth of a shred of truth? Heck, all of us were like
"Is that job legal?" Of course not!
"What about moral concerns?" Well, you have to be a cold-blooded person to be in the field, duh!
"What's the motivation?" Money all the way. Nicholas even asked her if it was a joke....-_-;;;;
And I thought she was weird before this...now she's plain scary. Our 'angel' couldn't process why someone would study Psych to kill people when she's studying so hard to help others. Well, Manda, there are all sorts of people in the world after all, it's not surprising there's a potential psychopath in our class.
So yeah...other things not as exciting, so I'll leave those out....
Edit: OMG!!!! Suju has a new subgroup??? I'm so behind!! Suju-M debuted in China...performed U (Chinese vers.) live...members are Hankyung, Shiwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Henry and Zhoumi....
I get Henry, and I can accept him (coz he's talented and cute and all) but why another Chinese member??? I haven't even seen this guy anywhere before! Argh!!!! Mika....where are you when I want to spazz/rant??? T_T

"My next career move is to be a professional neutraliser." Translation: Professional assassin.
.........
Uh, excuse me? Are you delusional? You want a future career that involves killing people? And you give us all these crap qualifications about having weapons training and whatnots....are you even telling us one-tenth of a shred of truth? Heck, all of us were like
"Is that job legal?" Of course not!
"What about moral concerns?" Well, you have to be a cold-blooded person to be in the field, duh!
"What's the motivation?" Money all the way. Nicholas even asked her if it was a joke....-_-;;;;
And I thought she was weird before this...now she's plain scary. Our 'angel' couldn't process why someone would study Psych to kill people when she's studying so hard to help others. Well, Manda, there are all sorts of people in the world after all, it's not surprising there's a potential psychopath in our class.
So yeah...other things not as exciting, so I'll leave those out....
Edit: OMG!!!! Suju has a new subgroup??? I'm so behind!! Suju-M debuted in China...performed U (Chinese vers.) live...members are Hankyung, Shiwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Henry and Zhoumi....
I get Henry, and I can accept him (coz he's talented and cute and all) but why another Chinese member??? I haven't even seen this guy anywhere before! Argh!!!! Mika....where are you when I want to spazz/rant??? T_T

Thanks to all my friends for being so supportive...I was so touched when the moment I was so discouraged...all of you PMed me and asked me if I was all right. I'm okay now...sorry I worried all of you. Thanks, you guys are the best! *hugs all*
Just a short post on my much improved mood. The problem has not gone away...but I have a changed perspective now.

Something not so good happened...
I'm going to need to see Ms Yeo soon....things are...well, there are too many things happening too suddenly. Just over the weekend...something happened..not to me..but to my sister, and it looks like the problem is going to affect the relationship between her and my mum...and it wil burden my dad, no doubt.
I don't want dad to worry more than he has to now...he's already working so hard, apart from his family..as the eldest daughter in the family, I have to help solve this thing...because if I don't, all of us will regret it for life...and I won't forgive myself for letting that happen...
I'm so frustrated I even ranted in my old blog...it's been long that I did something like that...
Going off to bed now. Still need to go to church tomorrow.
Father Lord, is this a test from you? I feel so challenged and helpless...I know that with my strength alone, I can do nothing, but with Your strength, anything is possible. I want to pray for my sister...it looks like it'll take a miracle...but Lord, you can do all things. All I can do now is to pray for Your strength and Your guidance. I pray for wisdom when talking to my mum and sis...pray that I will know what to say to help them...pray that I can find a way to solve this problem so that their relationship won't suffer. Lord, Your child needs you now. She is weak, and You are strong...help me...In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

The power of melody, rhythm and lyrics combined
Music is an odd and wonderful thing. Throughout the ages, songs have shaped attitudes, recorded history, moved nations...it is perhaps one of the greatest gifts God has given humankind.
Having listened to music practically all my life, it struck me that there are always certain songs that reach deep inside us and touch us emotionally and spiritually. It was easy for music to shape my moods, but not every song I've heard have managed to move me. And being someone who enjoys songs from at least 5 different languages, it surprises me sometimes how I don't have to understand what the lyrics mean to feel it.
Of all the songs I listen to, Korean songs are on my foreign language list. At least, it means I don't understand the lyrics most of the time. But there were several instances a song moved me deeply...like the song 'You Are The One' by Super Junior. Although I like many of their songs, this song in particular has a soft spot in my heart. I remember seeing them perform this song on Youtube the first time...although I didn't get the lyrics, it brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why....it was just...something about the song sounded so beautiful, yet so sad. Up till now, songs like 'Endless Moment' and 'So I' have brought me close, but they never really induce that same bittersweet feeling I get from hearing 'You Are The One'.
Recently, I've also been really into 'Rainy Night' by Junsu of DBSK. Junsu's voice has this amazing ability to translate the music into emotions. Even Jaejoong can't bring emotions through as well as Junsu. Another DBSK song I really love is 'Love In The Ice', one of their Japanese songs. The breathtaking harmony aside, the lyrics are really wonderful. And when we're talking about lyrics, I definitely can't leave out Gackt! 'Fragrance' has one of the most contemplative effects a song can bring with its lyrics.
Have you ever heard any songs that move you? Give the songs a try...they're really nice.
