I am famous! :P

OH OH OH OH OH!! Nuffnang sent me an email abt Nokia wanting to put an advert on my blog! They hv nv sent this sorta email before an advert before. Hmmmm... Does this mean it pays more?? But to get this advert, I gotta somehow shift the leaderboard to the top of this blog (it is now at the bottom) and I hv no idea how to do that.

SOMEONE HELP!!!!

To be utterly honest, I am not being paid much (you will laugh if I mention) so you guys can really help me feed my poor self by simply scrolling your mouse over to the nice colourful box by the side and clicking on it as and when adverts appear (which is really rare, sadly to say so). :( and though the returns is rather abysmal, seeing ads make me happy coz well, I AM A MEDIA TOOL!

Oh wait, tt is not supposed to be good right? Ehhh, how abt commercialized Joy? Nah nah! No good too. :(

Aiyo, I just like it to be there taking up space la. So don't ask me to get rid of the links just because I am not being paid very well. Afterall, there are certain little pleasures (like seeing moving things on my blog, YAYNESS~) tt is worth more than monetary gratitute.

Sheesh, who am I kidding man?

Exam blues

I am missing out on a whole lot of fun bcoz its the time of the yr with dreaded term papers. Bahx!

No Zouk with Serene tonight, no buying of my long-awaited Samsung OMNIA with Alisa, and god bless me, I don't even hv the mood to plan my Dubai wardrobe (3 wks of holiday require alot of clothes!) all bcoz I am still waddling in differentiation rules and logarithmic expressions. *sulks*

Later Trix dear is going to submit her postcard designs for the Pameran Poskad '08 exhibition at Dempsey Hill and the family is going to check out the new Biopolis. But me? Stuck at hm with Math. Oh, what joy. -_-"



Many little postcards forming her piece of "In My Head". Though it sorta looks like an onion, it IS supposed to be random. :D

With all the media buzz abt promoting S'pore as a creative hub, please do support our art industry. :)

For I hv seen first hand how much time and effort goes into each and every creation. All the late nights and not to mention $$$ burned, young talents need all the support and encouragement to follow their passions and save the world frm being simply black and boring. :(

And mei, I am so damn bloody proud you.

So peeps, if you hv some time to spare nxt wkend, why not head down to Dempsey Hill and appreciate something (or at least attempt to be cultured). If you see something you like, buy it.

I hv already supported so what are you waiting for?

and my daddy is so random.

He just sent a "wishlist" for the things we shld bring along to Dubai. Among some ordinary items were "kaya, dark soya sauce and soft-boiled egg maker". LOL.

:)

Please tell me you are fine :(

More Bangkok blasts. And no news from him.

Grenades and bombings.
What is all this violence for?!
The killings, the blood, the panic.
My daily perusal of headlines.
Oh god.


Edit: he is alive. :)

But...

"Meanwhile, Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport will remain closed until at least 6 pm (1100 GMT) Saturday, the airport authority said Thursday."

HAPPINESS is more than a word

Ever experienced the sort of "happy" that will leaving you smiling each time you recall the incident? It may not be the in-your-face HAHA type of "happy" but rather small coincidences or thoughtfulness on someone else's part that makes each day much more beautiful?

Well, I hv been that type of "happy" a couple of times over the past week.

1. Finding my lost thumbdrive
   Its hard enough to retrieve a lost thumbdrive in the thieving society of today. But...........
   
   Guoquan [in an early morning SMS]: Oi! You lost something ah?
   Me: Huh? I nv go sch today how to lose anything?
   Guoquan: Yesterday you left thumbdrive in library is it?
   Me: Really ah? (Yes, I am THAT BLUR! :P)
   Guoquan: You heng leh! Inside project got my name then my friend found.
   Me: *sheepish laughter*
   
   [next day, the friend apparently lost my thumbdrive AGAIN.]
   
   Hanming [in the canteen]: Hey Joy! I found your thumbdrive. Later pass to you ba.
   Hanming [later in class]: Ehhh.. I forgot and accidently left it at the computer leh.
   
   [YOU TELL ME CAN SO SUAY ANOT?!]
   
   Librarian called [10 mins aft I swore]: Is this Joy? Someone returned your lost thumbdrive. Please come and collect it.
   
   Walao! Buy 4-D also not so zhun can?! Heee.. You say can don't happy meh?
   
   
2. FAMILY BONDING
   Who can love you more than your very own family?
   
   Had a cooking competition (I was the judge) and impromptu sleepover in the living room complete with junk food, DVD rentals and sleeping bags! :) We even video conferenced with Daddy so he could see all the fun he was missing out on. :P
   
   There was also massive shopping sprees which mama shld nv hv splurged on for she is now a retired woman. Which therefore means, MORE MOMMY TIME WITH US!
   
   Photos when I find the time to edit. :)
   
   
3. BUSINESS STIMULATION GAME TRIAL 1
   Stupid 8 credit project and us not understanding the concepts of the game.
   
   Ranked 1st.
   If it stays tt way through 5 more sessions, it wld really be a call for celebration. :)
   
   
4. GESTURES OF GRATITUDE NEVERMIND IT BEING WAAAAY OVERDUE
   Stanchart deprieved me of a holiday but brought nice friends into my life.
   
   Nearly 2 mths ago, I left the Operations Department far quieter than I expected. No one knew it was my last day or I suppose they knew but they didn't care. Yesterday, Ching Ching (head of department) called me down and not only did I hv a present, an apology (coz they were too busy then) AND EVEN A LOVINGLY PREPARED CARD WITH WELL-WISHES FRM THE WHOLE DEPOSIT TEAM~ *very surprised*
   
   Alex still uses his signature light blue-inked pen and Edwin still affectionately calls me "Xiao Mei". Some things just don't change hur?
   
   It doesn't take much to say 'thank you' and this 'thank you' is one I would rmbr for a long long time. :)
   
   
5. SPREADING OF XMAS CHEER
   Especially when it comes in the form of rich guys handing out candies.
   
   Was doing BuyBack claims today when a convertible filled with guys roared pass SB naturally attracting our attn. What we did not expect was that same convertible, going one round, coming back, stopping and waving to Cheeleng.
   
   They beckoned her forward and she came back with 3 candy canes for Tiffy, herself and me. Imagine tt?! Santa giving out sweets in a local polytechnic?? Headline News man!
   
   
6. MST WEEK LOOMING FAST!
   Arggh! Who likes exams?!
   
   
   
   But to hv a sweet sister to prepare surprise snacks while I take a shower. Somehow, its hard not to feel so darn loved. Favourite KitKats somemore... :)
   
   
   
   Oh wells, the lovely note pinned high up on my board is reminder enough that I should get offline and back to Math. Sian Pok. But a happy Sian Pok. :D
