因為我說的話,而造成誤會。感到很抱歉,對不起。我會儘量記得, ikarin 閉嘴啦!最討厭連累朋友,最討厭麻煩朋友,最厲害cause destruction。對啦,那就是我。一切的美好,到我手上都會搞砸。
自己看不清自己,那或許最懂我的人是對的。The problems lies with me. Me, yes it's me!
Better keep tabs on myself more.

I still find it interesting. Not that these tests are that reliable, but seriously they give different results when you experience different emotions and do it based on what you 'see' at that particular point of time. Which sometimes..can be true.
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve。Happy 35th Anniversary to Mummy and Pa!

A trip to Shenzhen!

Popo on a train.
My birthday in Hong Kong!
7 December: Agnes B restaurant at Causeway Bay! Me and Nat have been wanting to try this restaurant since we kept passing by it last year! Finally there's a chance to! Very nice ambience, of course the food is a little pricey for the standards given the brand, but still worth going!
開心與傷心
所以怕再為誰作出犧牲
愛要有天份
所以我始終學不會放任
我不夠天真
不允許我傻傻的等
對自己殘忍
多殘忍 我要有分寸
我太過認真
所以才相信所謂的永恆
愛讓人恍神
所以止不住不小心沉淪
我太負責任
不允許有太多悔恨
對自己坦誠
多坦誠 我自有分寸
我只是無辜的人
很需要歎氣聲
有一些文字的吻
只留給傷過的人
明知道有些問題
沒有答案還是要問
原諒我 因為我就是 這樣的女生
I have to learn to say no, learn to stop going on when my intuition has already told me no.
4 years ago I had a chance to stop, but I let it pass. I held on, thinking things would turn out beautiful like what you said.
一傳眼,已經好久好久。讓你佔取我心裡的位置太久了。or so I thought at least.
I let my heart rule my head then. So much for being a logical person, but when it comes to actions, my heart wins.
I closed my heart to others who came along.
I let everything go pass me.
I told myself you were the one.
I waited in vain.
I lived a lie.
I lied to myself.
Who is the person I see in myself for the past years?
Why, why must it be like that.
Why did I let you bind me to the "future" that only you saw in us?
Why did I choose to believe you?
Why did I do so much, missed so much of my life just for you?
Why did I stop there for so long?
Maybe I did think I loved you.
Maybe it was just a change that I was reluctant to face.
Maybe you were just conveniently there at that time, and it was 習慣 rather than 喜歡.
Maybe it was just out of loneliness that I thought I had you always.
Maybe I was just dumb, with the stupid personailty that you have always faulted.
Now I stand here, deciding that it is time to move on.
Again, I know this is what I want, and I let my heart rule my head again.
I want to really thank you to have had been there once, to have taught me so much, to have let me seen the world through you, to have let me grown up, and stronger.
Now I am here, wanting to find me, the real me.
I am happy all is clear, I am relieved I am free, but I do not deny that the truth hurts.
The truth hurts, or does it not?
A surface wound is painful, but a deep slice thru would not be. Just bleeding, and bleeding..
For the past years I have many surface wounds, some recovered, some scarred for life.
I cannot decide if I moved on without a fresh wound, or this time, it's so deep that I cannot even feel it.
Numb.
Happy?
Sad?
感覺不到啦!
Tears roll down, but why, I really cannot determine. Is it happiness, sadness or mere fear of the new future that I am expecting? The one sentence you made that could have summed up everything has been replaying in my mind since you said it, and yes, that sentence hurts.
I will find my way, no matter what.
No, losing you is not losing everything at all. You might have been everything then, but I will soon find my everything again.
What I can be sure now, I can start living for myself. But my intuition again tells me that I might be falling into another trap that I am setting for myself. Because once again, it seems like I might let my heart rule my head.
i know...
but till then, i'm gonna ENJOY myself!

iKarin had a really good day today..
"This is truly a well written - adequately researched paper.
Good lit review
Good methodology
Proper data analysis
Extensive discussion
Good recommendation
Tables and diagrams in the appendices are clear and self-explanatory
Seriously consider submitting to a journal. I will give you pointers to that.
30/30."
I have to say, THANK YOU GUYS!! It has been great working with u all, and we managed to get pass this module and ended it on a happy note (other than the pending exam tml... :S)
For ethics:
"Evidence of a superior, comprehensive and deep knowledge of the module content that is relevant to the topic. The critical discussion does show evidence of a good research and extensive reading beyond the recommended texts, including critical evaluation of sources. The choice of topic is not very challenging but the argument is very clear and concise. The historical overview couples well the different views on privacy, excellent analysis of modern day forms of surveillance and its various forms (commercial, government), more could have been done to explain the summary and its thesis that users will eventually “strike back”. The concept of “information snooper-highway” is a funny metaphor :-) especially in the Singaporean context – good point :-) Congratulations on an excellent essay."
Good thing I didn't waste my time at starbucks! This was the horrendous essay that I decided to change topic about 26 hours before the deadline, and within these 26 hours, I had to go work as well. Thank you lucky god. Although the grades are not out, but at least the comments are quite encouraging. Without class participation and a not that wonderful midterm, I can try pray that hopefully I still do ok. :)
Other than getting reassurances from project feedback, I got to study with my favourite people in my favourite room and ate my favourite fries! Woohoo!
Today will be a day in history that won't repeat man.... When will iKarin be so lucky again?

Doraemon game
Great, haha. I was the first one to get the card number 9, and suddenly you realise you have no more friends..and no one wants to talk to you. AND, I was desperately trying to find out if I'm allowed to talk, or answer during other games..but of course... i was ignored. very very very sad. u see who your true friends are at this point of time. haha!
And the next worse thing would be to drink and be a little blur, and then answer those people who got number 9 card and doing their best to set traps so that other people will answer them!! ahhhhhh.. sometimes you just cannot control and will answer mah...
I'm starting to love my social life - people, life, hotel, drinks, photos, fun, laughter, teasing, nua-ing, mocking, bullying ibun (ok i'm not supposed to like this but ibun does bring joy to me..haha), meeting new friends etc. - a break from reality! So will miss u guys when i'm away!!
One sentence to describe all these feelings i have for them: i am a lucky girl to have met u all! :)
Hopeless at exams
Me: 2-4pm.
Mum: Oh, afternoon paper ah.
Me: Ya.
-pause-
Me: No, 1-3pm.
Mum gave me a look.
Mum: Wah lao exam also dunno...
hahaha.

Random thoughts
"absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder, absence just makes the heart cheat."
"if u're in a relationship but u dun wan to make it known, then it's not a relationship."
"if u're so in love with the person, u won't care what others think and will openly declare the relationship."
"in a relationship, the personalities will exchange: the girl becomes more like the guy and the guy becomes more like the girl."
"I know he dotes on me, but that's not the way I want - being possesive n protective. Why don't he buy me a flower instead?"
As I grow, I realise that love really doesn't linger on one person only. Always wondering why people are willing to marry someone who is not the love of their life, but I think I can understand now already. Humans are born social creatures. No matter how much u may think u're a loner, or can be alone without someone, it is undeniable that there will be many times u just wish for someone else who understands, who listens, who just merely, will be there. Yet, as I see more of the world, I realise that what people say is so true - 这个世界只能靠自己。Few people will give up their all for u.
The stubborn me use to think that my life might be different, my life might not be affected by reality and I can control what I want. But sadly, reality is reality. Coming to terms with reality actually makes more sense than trying to fight it with no good reason or goal in mind. Fairytales exist because of the existence of the not so happy ending reality.
其实我好像一早就决定放开一切, 因为我很清楚那是我不会想要的。既然如此,我为何还要管那么多。神经病耶,哈哈。不爱了,不能不舍得啊。不然,根本就是自找的。
"you cannot change a person, you can only help him find his way."
Maybe, I need help in finding my way. But I must remember, maybe, the only dependable person in this world, is myself. So, the only person to help me, is myself.
Good luck Karin!

一念之間
笨蛋。
傻瓜。
----------
一念之間發現你的愛情竟然不見
這幾年你留下的原來只有謊言
說得再美也無法沉殿 空洞得可憐
一念之間發現愛情竟然是種危險
這一夜我哭了好幾遍
靠得再近也是種虧欠
我不是你隨隨便可以敷衍

坏人
走的时候心里还在想,要是每个跟我掏钱的我都给,那我不是变成charity了。但是,走着走着,心里感到蛮不安的。开始气自己,干吗心情不好而拿别人来出气。能帮就帮嘛。换成是我,也会希望在需要帮忙时,会有个人肯帮阿。回头望,看不到老人了。
三个小时后,回到了同样的地方,看看老人是佛还在。当然,哪里可能啊。
对不起陌生人,因为太顾自己而没帮到您。
關於我愛你 (張懸)
作詞:焦安溥 作曲:焦安溥 編曲:Algae
你眷戀的 都已離去
你問過自己無數次、想放棄的
眼前全在這裡
超脫和追求時常是混在一起
你擁抱的 並不總是也擁抱你
而我想說的; 誰也不可惜
去揮霍和珍惜是同一件事情
我所有的何妨 何必
何其榮幸
在必須發現我們終將一無所有前
至少你可以說
我懂 活著的最寂寞
我擁有的都是僥倖啊
我失去的, 都是人生
當你不遺忘也不想曾經
我愛你
在必須感覺我們終將一無所有前
你做的 讓你可以說
是的 我有見過我的夢
我擁有的都是僥倖啊
我失去的都是人生
因為你擔心的是你自已
我愛你

Warwick Avenue by Duffy
meet me by the entrance of the tube
we can talk things over a little time
but promise me you won't stay by the light
When I get to Warwick Avenue
please drop the past and be true
don't think we're okay just because I'm here
you hurt me bad but I won't shed a tear
I'm leaving you for the last time baby
you think you're loving but you don't love me
and I've been confused outta’ my mind lately
you think you're loving but I want to be free
Baby you hurt me
When I get to Warwick Avenue oh
we'll spend an hour but no more than two
Our only chance to speak once more
I showed you the answers now here's the door
When I get to Warwick Avenue
I'll tell you baby, that we're through
Cos' I'm leaving you for the last time baby
you think you're loving but you don't love me
and I've been confused outta my mind lately left
you think you're loving but you don't love me
I want to be free, baby you've hurt me.
All the days spent together, I wish for better
and I didn't want the train to come, now it's departed
I'm broken hearted, seems like we never started.
All those things here together, when I wished for better
And I didn't want the train to come
You think you're loving, but you don't love me
I want to be free.
Baby you've hurt me, you don't love me,
I want to be free, baby you hurt (heard) me.

these are what people around me told me
"oh you got your hair back finally!!"
=,=!!
From my old-time friend:
Me: I have my own life what.
Him: Oh you finally woke up.
=,=
From a guy trying to promote Raffles Hotel membership (who was actually looking for nat on my phone instead of me actually):
"i wish u all the best in ur studies, don't give up."
This is actually very very appropriate at this point of time because I was giving up reading about herbal medicine (which I only read 12 slides over 2 hours before his call..!!)
From my dad:
"ah nae gao pec, zo teacher xiang ho."
He claims that with a normal job, I can't survive because I only have 10-14 days annual leave, which is totally not enough for me to go overseas every year. So he thinks that teacher is the best job for me since, at least, I have 2 long holidays which I can go overseas.
=,=
From my friend in Hong Kong:
Me: I'm going Hong Kong soon!!
Him: Lol. You are coming back, not going.
Me: =,= !!
And when I said I can be a maid to get a work permit in Hong Kong,
Him: u shudnt be a maid la. u shud work with natali as new twins. the old twins are screwed now, we need new ones.
=,= what conservations i have been having...

找一種回家的感覺 (是時候停下的感覺)
傳說中的歸根落葉 曾經多不屑 原來最渴望的 不過這些
熨著別人的襯衣 著我們的孩子

我不惜環遊全世界 破了鐵鞋 來赴這前生之約
找一條有妳的街 (開羅或京都的街)
找一種回家的感覺 (是時候停下的感覺)
傳說中的歸根落葉 曾經多不屑 原來最渴望的 不過這些
大紅的燈籠高高掛 處處是古董和字畫
雖然很廉價 總算像個家
普天下的唐人街 (普天下的唐人街)
都是個巨大情意結(牌坊後華麗的幻覺)
可是妳漂泊在天涯 一萬零一夜 一定想回家過節
在一條陌生的街 (華沙或首爾的街)
找一種熟悉的感覺 (流浪將因妳而終結)
我已經環遊了世界 踏破了鐵鞋 是時候過一些 平凡的夜

去引導你前來 擁抱
不同的臉孔 但同步心跳 同一套細胞
我就是你 你就是我 另一個自己
我在這裡 你在哪裡 哪天能相遇
你寂寞嗎
不被誰瞭解 有什麼重要
這世界上有你 就好
不同的姓名 但同樣渺小 又同樣驕傲
我就是你 你就是我 另一個自己
是因為你 才不哭泣 不懷疑自己
我很努力 為了讓你 看得起自己

How come I seemed so much more..sure of what I wanted when I took this in February. What am I so lost now?
----
You are a very emotional and sensitive individual. Your life and love of life is dominated by your emotions - you have great feeling towards your fellow man and you are always full of enthusiasm but be careful, you tend to let your heart rule your head and this being so, you could be easily hurt - as perhaps you may have indeed been hurt in the past.
All of your dreams and hopes have not materialised and consequently you are unsure of which way to go. This uncertainty has led to considerable stress but you have sufficient 'strength of mind' to overcome this state of affairs although it will take some time.
You feel that you should be appreciated far more than you are but no-one seems to care! You feel that you are receiving less than your share and the main problem is that there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. The inner stress that you are experiencing makes you quick to take offence but you realise that at this particular moment in time there is little that you can do to relieve the situation.
It would seem that an existing situation or relationship is unsatisfactory and you feel that there is little that you can do about it without 'some help from your friends', but you have no desire to show the world how vulnerable you really are and therefore you consider it inadvisable to display affection or be over demonstrative. You regard this particular relationship as a depressing tie and although you would like to be independent and unhampered, you don't want to run the risk of losing anything. All this leads you to react 'touchily' and with impatience, while the urge to 'get away from it all' results in considerable restlessness and stress. Your ability to concentrate may suffer.
You need to be needed and would like a situation where you will no longer be subjected to pressures and demands from those about you. There is no harm in 'dreaming' but it is you - and only you - that can be able to realise those dreams and to turn them into reality.

Coffee, coffee and more coffee.
Nostalgia
What happened to my passion for music?
Why can I not feel the same anymore?
Nanyang days in CO were really great, nothing has been close to that feeling. Having a common goal, working towards it together, laughing the tough times away, playing with passion for the music, and orchestra...pure fun.
Food, food and more food
Menu for today was:
-chwee kueh x 5 at 12pm
-homecooked pasta at 3pm
-macdonalds meal at 5pm
-ichiban boshi meal at 7.30pm
-starbucks coffee at 8.30pm
-1/2 pack caramel corn at 11.30pm
The most obvious common thing amongst these foods --> fat fat fat!!!!! HELP!!

Happy Halloween!!
I've never expected the Halloween scene in Singapore to feel like that, but it's nice to see people dressing up and doing things out of the box for once!
From school girls to witches to mummies to furry gorillas to erm. orange juice... A lot of creativity was reflected in all the costumes, and how the items are made use of to add to the costume.
For us, it was a slightly simpler job of renting rather than building our own. Theme: Alice in Wonderland (without Alice). =)
It was fun to go out in such clothes for a change, something that you will never ever do in Singapore on any other day as long as you're in the right mind. We took many photos, people took many photos of us, people not letting us leave because they want to take photos with us.... It was a chore to walk through Clarke Quay!! Much less to say, with the very heavy dress and spoiling heels that I wore. But it was a really great experience =)
Thank you guys for the night!
