Outgoing

Recently i did a few test on facebook here and there.... one of them say best quality or my strength is being outgoing and warm in terms of my personality... for example....

"Your best quality is out-going! People like you because you are fun to be
around and no one ever knows what you will do next. Also you are not afraid to say or do whatever you want"

"Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical and always
interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but
sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you
as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out."

Well i dun really totally agree with the center of attraction part... but well sometimes being outgoing is not easy... it takes a lot of strength emotionally to do it... as i type this post i really dunno how to use words to express how i feel now... many times in life i feel something still missing... yupz... especially when i am left alone... a lot of thoughts run through my mind... i know i have a great future lies ahead... but sometimes as a human u do encounter fear in life... nowadays i find myself handle fear better than in the past where i allow fear to swallow me up and dip into worries and depression... but still the sting is still there... where u feel kind of crappy... yupz thats honestly i feel at times... maybe is part and parcel of human life... i really hope breakthrough will come...

Well put aside all the "emoness" today celebrated Selina's Birthday! happy birthday girl!!! enjoyed myself today but the above mentioned feelings suddenly hit me again... yeah is very irritating....

Emergancy First Response (EFR) Passed!

Grabbed gloves and put on... walking to victim tapping his shoulder saying "Hello? My name is Kynneth, I'm an emergancy responder. May i help you?" No response from patient... picks up phone call 995... tilt chin check airway.... check breathing.... no breathing no pulse... Put on mouthpiece on patient and ready for CPR! tilt chin and blow 2 breaths.... 30 Chest compressions... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5.... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 10 till 30..... install Automated defrillibrator and use on patient... continue CPR until Medical team comes.... for diving administer oxygen available from boat...

Bascially i been doing this for 3 hours and pass a written exam for my emergancy first response course and i passed! now next will be PADI rescue diver course which is next tuesday... one step closer to my dream of PADI Divemaster... well before that had the driest lecture in the morning and a what the hell is happening lecture before the course... o well my lecturer for the what the hell is happening lecture always "zhao sia" when he talk... and oh by he is literally introducing the terms only... not teaching... and he jumps so fast his slides.. everyone in LT11 was in a dazed wondering what is he talking about... well the topic is on linear regression in a simple regression model and mulitple regression model... trying hard to figure out the fundamentals... guess gotta look into the upcoming tutorials to figure out how to do...

Yupz... one money and banking essay coming up... with last question to do... one ec3101 tutorial and J1 from ge2218 with A2 from ge2218 to do and ec3303 tutorial coming up to do... all gotta finish before the term break ends... so much work! so little time! =(

Public Transport Nuisance

Nuisance no.1

Loud "music" or i think we can consider it as noise on public transport. Inconsiderate people playing thier "music" on loudspeaker mode in public transport. Extremely nusiance when you are trying to study while commuting or rest while commuting.

Nuisance no.2

This only applicable to male culprits... who like to sit on trains with thier legs opening wide... things are made worst when ur left and right side man are opening up thier legs so wide that u dun even have space to place ur 2 legs comfortably... can visulise what i mean?

Nuisance no.3

Disgusting glass dividers and windows with gluey looking thing like gel which make commuting unpleasent. Please clean the glass panels and windows often!

Nuisance no.4

People literally squeezed in without letting you out first and worse pushing thier way through...

Nusiance no.5

Sorry i also made this mistake but i try not to make it... it is while sleeping... ones body or head keep leaning against you... worst 2 side.... trust me it will happen one day!

Nuisance no.6

Parents allow thier children to occupy more than 1 seat by letting sleep on seats while the whole world is standing... its ok when the train is empty... not when is packed...

Well, think this is the rare moments i posting a complain on my blog... yeah... too much stress now need to destress lol... but well above nuisance are the ones that sometimes test my patience but the most intolerable is ppl playing loud "music" yeah... happens on sunday when i trying to mug for my essay... some kid playing his linkin park music aloud... make me hard to study... but rest assured i didn't flare up... if i flare up... that kid is really something.... in the end i choose to stop studying and tahan till i alight...

蔡淳佳 - 庆幸有你爱我

Stumbled upon this song on TV as i watch "Our Rice House" 8pm every Monday... The theme song is very heart warming and the Lyrics are very nice.... and very sweet... good way to express ur gratitude to your special loved ones... and some parts of the lyrics in the song are quite true... frens come and go... without any reasons and notice.... so true in life.... and somehow God's love to His ppl are like wad the song describes...

蔡淳佳-庆幸有你爱我

失去和拥有刹那的感动
人生有时候像一场梦
醒着的时候睁开了双眸
不如意的很多

朋友和情人来的来走的走
反反复复寻寻觅觅为了什么
要多少时间才能够了解
其实有你就足够

握着你的手走过快乐和难过
黑夜白昼我们都曾经拥有
人生是没有定律的一种节奏
不如用心去感受

快乐的一刻胜过永恒的难过
黑夜过后就有日出和日落
两个人走不会寂寞
每一刻都会珍惜都会把握
庆幸有你爱我

失去和拥有泪水和笑容
人生有时候像一场梦
累了的时候闭上了双眸
谁在回忆上游

多少的朋友来的来走的走
聚散从来都不给任何的理由
转过身以后才忽然感受
你一直都在背后

握着你的手走过快乐和难过
黑夜白昼每个人都会拥有
人生是没有定律的一种节奏
不如用心去感受

快乐的一刻胜过永恒的难过
黑夜过后就有日出和日落
两个人走不会寂寞
每一刻都会珍惜都会把握
庆幸有你爱我

握着你的手走过快乐和难过
黑夜白昼每个人都会拥有
人生是没有定律的一种节奏
不必在乎的太多

快乐的一刻胜过永恒的难过
黑夜过后就有日出和日落
只要和你一起度过
人生没几人懂我懂得把握
庆幸有你爱我

Elliott Yamin - Waiting For You

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
Don’t leave me crying

Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

Post CNY

This Year CNY seemed to be a tiring and somehow boring one... whenever i visit relative hse all i can do is to sit around and smile.... waiting for time to pass.... CNY somehow lose its excitment as i grow older... but somehow i feel better when i visit my frens... mainly because i am interacting with ppl i know... Ang bao this year also reduced... with the recent inflation going on... my ang bao shrunk! sighz...

Anyway CNY is over... somehow i am still tired... and reality sets in... lots of work need to be done!!! a lot of things on my hand... till i gotta produce a things to do list in order not to miss out certain things and appointment... Monday i finally had meatballs from IKEA as i got a surprised call from cinthia... so i went with her and had an enjoyable time! thanks Cinthia!

During CNY, somehow i proposed to my dad to go for dive master course... and he agreed to pay for my course and equipment! Thank God! haha so now actions is taken and i am going for my rescue diver while i am still consider whether to go for dive master course as being a dive master requires a lot of responsibility and upkeep as a PADI professional... so now my plans is spilt into 2 options...

1) Go for Rescue Diver Course in mid sem break then go for Dive Master Course right after Exams together with Nitrox Course

2) Go for Rescue Diver Course in mid sem break then go for Nitrox Course and subsequently 4 other specialities to be a PADI Master Scuba Diver (Different from Divemaster as this rating is the highest for recreational diving not as professional)

So now gotta got for rescue diver course and then consider either option 1 or 2... yeah... lastly wactched a webcast lecture of the makeup GE2218 Lecture and saw some interesting pictures enjoy! =)

Life Path

Anyway saw this on Serene's blog.... so i went to try it and here is the results:

Life Path Number 3
Followers of Life Path number 3 are effervescent personalities whose journey often leads to artistic acclaim or social popularity. Number 3s are the entertainers of the world and most of them are truly gifted musicians, writers, actors, dancers, public speakers and politicians.
A number 3 is not fulfilled until there has been some public acknowledgement of his or her unique talent. The number 3 life path is one that is characterized by beauty, excitement, eccentricity and social popularity. These unique, expressive personalities often easily acquire, fame and glory.
This number is also usually blessed with a warm, charismatic personality and an incredible sense of personal faith and optimism. Their attractive physical appearance also often captures the imaginations of others and they make excellent muses and models.
Often a number 3 is also a witty or poetic individual who is an entertaining conversationalist. At the same time they are known for their understanding of human nature as well as their ability to really listen to others and truly comprehend their emotional needs.
Number 3's are also excellent chefs and hosts and boast exquisite taste in fashion and home decoration. They are often sought after socially as others find them physically as well as spiritually beautiful.
Usually a number 3 is quite stubborn and plays to win no matter how high the cost of success. Their unusual stamina and vigor makes it easier for them to rebound from setbacks in life than most people. Often these setbacks are of a financial or romantic nature as their idealism and spontaneity sometimes causes them to make bad choices.
However a number 3 is usually quite humble and very capable of being honest with themselves about their mistakes.
Number 3's stray off their life path by giving up their dreams and talents. Many escape into alcohol or drug abuse to avoid hearing the nagging voice of their constant inspiration. If you are a number 3 who is not finding themselves in the spotlight because of personal problems then this is a wake-up call to follow your heart's desire. Your exuberant nature can take you further than most people, especially if you give yourself permission to focus your energies and talents.

Conclusion: Only those in bold are somehow true.... as i feel la... lol...

Cartoon Character

"(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it' s funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people and you will be stress free."
Samantha sent an email to me.... was looking at it.... just did the quiz for fun... although i don't really believe in such things... but somethings they wrote sound quite true for me which i am going through.... the first 2 statement i doubt so... 3rd line sound true for the first half... 2nd half not really... 4th line is quite true for my first 16 yrs of life... last line is what i always cautious about... some people out there just wanna destroy you.. gotta open eyes big big to avoid them....

Hahaha anyway on a lighter tone... just back from Eusoff Hall Dance production... very well done... Mao Mao even says so and the $15 is worth it... very classy production... especially the wizard... he can really act... and the male lead sings well too.... and Michelle u danced very well! nice! =)
