An awesome speech:------Written by Adrian Tan, author of The Teenage Textbook (1988), was the guest-of-honour at a recent NTU convocation ceremony. This was his speech to the graduating class of 2008.----- I must say thank you to the faculty and staff of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information for inviting me to give your convocation address. It’s a wonderful honour and a

I have been feeling very disgruntled with work.At times, I can feel my rage bubbling dangerously, just skimming the surface. Other times, I want to throw my arms up in utter despair & give msyelf up to tears. I have to suppress it all though, or others may think I'm a complete psycho.But I can't fight these feelings forever, & I don't know how to make things right. I think I need a sabbatical.

I met the Phantom Orange/Olive Shirt Guy! Woohoo!

In case you're wondering, I would like vouchers for my birthay this year. Much more convenient right!Tangs vouchers would be awesome, as I'm looking at buying cosmetics from MAC, Benefit & Clinique, Bobbi Brown & such. :) Robinsons/John Little vouchers are welcomed too! If there are Watsons vouchers, I'll be delighted as well. I'm a fan of Watson & can totally spend an hour or up in the

So recently, my favourite song has been All-Time Low by The Wanted. Have never heard of the band, never bothered to look them up but was contented to listen to the song on repeat & have it as my ringtone.& then Vidz looked them up & guess what? DAMN BOYBAND.The walk, the random swaying, the zoom-in shots, the abrupt shot of them doing an extremely choreographed dance move...it's all very done to

2010-10-05T22:35:00.006+08:00

So I've been watching Ok Go's White Knuckles & End Love on replay mode - End Love especially.I can't help it! The colours, the choreography, the stop-motion, the goose, the look of intense concentration on their faces, Damian Kulash - so much love. & the music catches on! :) The amount of hard work put into their music videos is amazing. First, Here It Goes Again on the threadmill, then the

It upsets me when my intentions are misinterpreted.Just read an old entry of a friend, & realised that she made a nasty remark about something I did which was done for pure & harmless fun. I did seek approval prior, to ensure that the subject has no problems with it, & was informed that it would be absolutely ok to proceed.To which I did & to the good laugh of many (including the very popular &

2010-09-01T08:41:00.007+08:00

It's been a while.Well, nothing much has changed, which leads me to this question - is my life stagnant? Am I happy where I am?In terms of career advancement, not so much. I can't really say why here, but it's just a culmination of things I'm disgruntled with. Don't get me wrong - I do like my job scope & I'm lucky that I'm doing something interesting, for which I have a passion for. But there

This is the stage where I become old & give up on technology.

2010-04-24T23:55:00.004+08:00

Eargh.It fucking pisses me off when I'm blamed for mistakes which are by no means my fault.Fuck this shit. I'm too self-righteous to take things lying down. If it's my fault, I'll readily admit it & apologise. But it just wasn't.Kthxbye.

2010-04-14T20:57:00.004+08:00

I wish I could stop this tide of feelings that bubble up whenever I feel left out in certain scenarios.I wish I could believe when I say "it's not me; they're not obligated to include me ALL the time; the world doesn't revolve around me".I wish I could care less about what people may think of me.I wish I could rid myself of insecurities.I wish I could give a derisive snort, & flip the world the

Man, I really thought Michael Lynch was leaving. Daryl & I both wanted him to, since his arrogance is getting on our nerves & out of hand.WHY DID THEY SAVE HIM? Anyways, after he really leaves for good, I'll be pretteh sad every elimination round, no matter who leaves. I kinda like all of them, even Tim Urban. Yes, he can't sing as well as the rest but he's cute & has a damn good attitude about

2010-03-03T13:33:00.001+08:00

This is bad.I'm sick of technology.I'm sick of blogging, sick of Twitter.The only thing I still do is Facebook.I think I'm getting old.

2010-02-25T09:11:00.003+08:00

Sometimes, it's best not to get your hopes too high, as you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.That feeling sucks.I know.

2010-02-01T23:29:00.005+08:00

So last week was a good week.A stranger asked me out, which hasn't happened in ages. & he's extremely cute too, with blonde hair & intense grey eyes. He scared the shit out of me though, prodding me really hard on the shoulder from behind, which made me squeak & jump a little.But of course I declined. He could be a psycho/cannibal for all I know, & he was probably looking for a booty call because

JASON MRAZ WON 2 GRAMMY AWARDS WHOOT WHOOT.ABOUT TIME!

2010-01-04T08:55:00.002+08:00

A brand new year.With each leap into a new year, it's supposed to be brimming with opportunities. A new year is supposed to signify change, improvements, new prospects etc etc.However, seems like nothing has changed.Which may not necessarily be a bad thing, since I've had a relatively good year (save for the SHITTIEST final month).Cheers to 2010.

Ahhhhhhh!Am so fucking stupid!I forgot that I wore glasses to work yesterday since my eyes were hurting, & during my night routine of replacing the stale contact lens solution with fresh solution, I basically dumped my BRAND NEW, never worn before contact lens into the sink & washed them down. I managed to salvage just one but have lost the other. Suspect it's already sitting at the bottom of the

If you're wondering about the changes in my e-mail & username, nothing happened. :) I just grew extremely sick of the emo URL & username I was using.I was a little more than embarrassed when colleagues wanted to add me on Google Wave & I had this silly username which I couldn't even say out loud without flushing.Abyssofinsanity. What was I thinking? Now I'm just uber awesome, & have changed my

2009-11-26T14:47:00.002+08:00

So I've conformed once again, & FINALLY hopped onto Twitter.But don't get me wrong.I don't think people would be interested in my narcissistic ramblings.I created an account to stalk other people's Twitter, like say, Jason Mraz, David Mitchell, Neil Patrick Harris...:DAnyways, if anyone cares to add me, it's samawesomeness.Coz' I'm just that awesome. Heh.

2009-11-24T23:53:00.001+08:00

So I couldn't revert my blog back to its previous pretty template, as some HTML error which never occured before keeps popping up now. :( I can't figure out where the problem is.Whatever the case is, I managed to retrieve most of my personal stuff like sites, tagboard etc. I guess I just need to get used to this template, which is starting to grow on me with its minimalistic style.

2009-11-23T00:08:00.002+08:00

The template change is refreshing.Less clutter, & much more minimalistic.But it was an accident which I will not claim credit for, because I attempted to update Blogger.I like the look, but am depressed about losing my links & bits of myself.Therefore, will have original template back in no time.

So thank you to Darrelle for the belated birthday big ang bao too!Although it completely topped last year, when you & Skye made me design my name on my own birthday card. :PThis year, dear Darrelle gave me 2 nicely folded $10 notes, folded 1 more in front of me, gave up, flung 2 more notes at me & said, "Nah, you fold them yourself!"Like I said, at the rate this is deteriorating, she might just

2009-11-04T23:53:00.002+08:00

Daryl was afraid that I was referring to him in my previous two posts.No I wasn't.They're two different things, about two different groups of people.& I guess to add to my frustration, I won't be able to spend much time with baby for the next couple of weeks, since he's gonna be driving for APEC. :( I've got nothing to look forward to anymore.

2009-11-04T17:20:00.002+08:00

Mighty pissed & irritated.

2009-11-04T17:19:00.001+08:00

Why did I try so hard?If you can't be botherered, it says a lot.Thanks. I wouldn't bother in the future as well.

2009-10-26T21:47:00.002+08:00

It's like last year all over again. Different people, same story.I definitely feel neglected & insignificant.

2009-10-26T00:10:00.003+08:00

Thanks to bestie Ting, for the big ang bao, & for treating Daryl & I to dinner at The Mussel Guys!You're right, the mussels there are heavenly. :)Thanks, dear!

This is what we call - sour grapes:Although to be rightfully honest, it IS an eyebrow-raising win.If what ABC says is true, then it's real odd that Barack Obama's nomination came after just 11 days in office. Doesn't the world require results nowadays? It's a bit like, "it's not where you go, it's how you get there".Whatever the case is, the GOP (& some) are being complete assholes over this.

Darrelle tried to gift her siblings as my birthday present.Sam does not accept humans as gifts, unless they are in the form of Jason Mraz, Hugh Laurie, David Mitchell, Neil Patrick Harris, Lee Pace, Wentworth Miller, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Zac Efron, Chace Crawford, Kylie Minogue, Emma Watson, Evangeline Lily, Rachel McAdams......hmm. Looks like I do accept humans as gifts afterall.

This is how I made a complete fool of myself on Saturday.Daryl, my best friend Ho Ting & I were in Chanel looking at bags, when Ho Ting held up a Chanel 2.55 to show me how it looks like & to my horror, I realised that the bloody expensive Topshop bag I was carrying is inspired by Chanel.Ho Ting: Sam! This is the 2.55! -holds it up high-Me: -flailing arms at Ho Ting- Put it down put it down my

It's the time to put up my wishlist again!Basically, it's for convenience's sake, so my friends don't have to rack their pretty heads over what they would want to get for me.My list this year is ostensibly shorter than last year's. Well, I can purchase most of the DVDs I want at staff discount now, so it would be silly to request them as gifts (which of course, would be bought at full retail

Neil Patrick Harris was looking absolutely spiffy in a handsome white tux (suit up!), & I LOVE HIM. Being host of a large-scale event such as the Emmys requires charm & loads of affability, & Neil fits the prerequisites perfectly. He was just so SUPER awesome & likeable, & he co-produced the awards show, making him even more awesome, if possible. Love love love. Can't describe how much I love him

So on Saturday, baby & I went to my usual haunt -Pastamania @ Bishan J8.We placed our orders at the cashier with this guy, who infuriated me when he asked us to repeat our orders 4 times. It wasn't that difficult, really. Baby wanted creamy chicken, I wanted seafood soup pasta, & we added a combo as well. Tell me how terribly difficult that is to remember?Anyways, the fourth time I was asked to

As luck would have it, I sat next to a crazy dude on the bus home yesterday (Thursday).He smelt like a hobo. Come to think about it, he looks like one too, with long stringy hair & a plastic bag of half-empty Coke bottles.The moment I sat down, he started muttering to himself. I thought, "Great, crazy dude" but I figured I could handle mad muttering & plugged in my iPod.Crazy hobo got

I've wanted one for ages, ever since last year when I knew about Cooking Mama.It has always been a want, not a need, & I didn't have the heart to spend so much money on it. But I coveted it, going to a game store in AMK a couple of times just to ask about it.So I did just that yesterday, making

I could smell the man I was standing over in the bus this morning, the sweaty, musty smell of someone who hasn't showered for days.Was alright at work, or maybe coz' I was kept busy, I forgot all about it.Going home, I could smell

I saw Angels & Demons on Saturday & hated it.Daryl informed me that there were a few people crying & sniffling towards the end of the show & I told him I was close to tears too. Not coz' I'm some religious nut, but Ron Howard killed the adaptation of my favourite book. The blasphemy!I'm going to tear the movie apart, so if you actually liked Howard's interpretation, or if you don't want any

You cancelled adorable & whimsical Pushing Daisies, & you ALMOST cancelled my Chuck!I'm sorry that I still hate you even though you renewed Chuck (after much suspense, might I add).That's because you cancelled Earl!

I watched 17 Again on Saturday, & it was MUCH MUCH better than I expected. Honestly, I didn't expect much, since my sole motive to watch the show is Zac Efron. I mean, I do think he's really really really good-looking. Safely the BEST looking actor of our time. Robert Pattinson doesn't hold a candle against him.Did think this was going to be another laughless, painful comedy despite the rather

So my existence online has been minimal (or any at all) for the past months, thanks to a dysfunctional laptop (which decides to die on me again & again).After complaining & creating a ruckus, Acer finally decided to replace my laptop.As my laptop has phased out, they needed to replace it with one that has a relatively equal value. So they told me they're replacing it with another model which has

Acer has not replied my e-mail. After 3 days. Nothing a phone call & some yelling won't fix.The laptop has been temperamental. I managed to switch it on for the past couple of days, & it worked ok (albeit hanging a few times). Today, it decided it WOULD NOT be switched on no matter what. Wtf. I'm so resigned to it, I don't even bother yelling & slamming it anymore.Went to the gala premiere of the

I would love to illustrate my trip to Bangkok with the love of my life, but my laptop has completely crashed & I can't do anything about it.The trip was nice. Our first proper planned vacation (LA doesn't count, since it was an extension of a school trip), & we had a nice room with a large jacuzzi. ;) Which was utilised only once in the 4 days we were there. Ah wells. There just wasn't enough

My awesome boyfriend booked a trip to Bangkok as a Valentine's Day present. :)So I'm off to 4 full days of shopping & good (albeit dirty streetside) food. Bliss. Heh.Not bringing my laptop, as the pointless thing takes 20 minutes to quit hanging & start up.I touch down 12.30 AM Tuesday morning, & have to be at work 9 AM at Ubi. Awesomesauce.Oh wells. Cross your fingers that I don't get kidnapped

"Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that [Harry Potter author] Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and [Twilight author] Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good." - Stephen KingHEAR HEAR! I've always thought that Meyer's writing is draggy & irrelevant at times. It's too simple & childish for young adults, yet it

So it looks like Acer can't be bothered to fix my laptop properly.After its second stint at the service centre, my laptop STILL hangs when you first switch it on, STILL displays the blue screen, HANGS again when you restart from the blue screen, & STILL emits funny snapping sounds when I restart. The exact same problems from the first time, now with funny sounds.I am so mightily pissed off, I am

HAI.Sam is getting her laptop back on Saturday.Hooray.& if it dies on me again, I WILL kill someone.

2009-01-26T23:58:00.003+08:00

I am missing in action, thanks to my awesome laptop, which has died on me twice in 3 weeks.So I brought it to the service centre, again, last Wednesday, & I only get it back next Monday. D: I have a feeling they'll reformat it seeing that they didn't do so the previous time.So, Happy Chinese New Year, ya'll.I'm thinking that I need to indulge in some regurgitating action after I gorge myself

Jason Mraz's tickets are completely sold out.I am completely stunned.It's 1 & a half more month till the gig, & he's sold out?I do want him to be popular, but not this popular. He has always been kinda under-the-radar.I don't want to feel like I have to share with even more people, when these people ONLY started to know him because of his recent hit.So if you're one of those who jumped onto the

I want to fucking move out.

Music video for "Lucky" -It's obvious that the 2 parts are filmed separately & then stitched together. However, for a low budget music video, I think the contrast is kinda clever.There's my Mraz, totally yum in a hot suit, brooding in beautiful, gloomy, exotic Prague.Then there's Colbie Caillat (serene & pretty, albeit a little curvaceous), on some generic sunny, happy island.Nice contrast.& oh,

2009-01-07T23:31:00.003+08:00

I got my fucking laptop back from the service centre on Saturday, & it fucking crashed again today.At least I can restart & load into Windows unlike the previous time, but it KEEPS crashing now.I plugged in my HDD to back up some remaining information & it fucking showed the blue screen again (about some crucial error & it performs some memory dump) so I unplugged it in terror. What if it wipes

I'm severely PMSing.Like, really severely.I haven't been feeling all that well.Had a headache yesterday which went away after Skye gave me panadols.My stomach has been churning for a week or so now.& I felt really queasy on my way home yesterday & almost threw up on the bus.But now, I'm feeling the mother of all rages.I'm feeling really bad about raging, but I can't control it. I just feel so

So, 2008 is officially gone, & people like to flash back on things they had or hadn't done, & what they would like to do for the new year.I've decided not to do flash backs, coz' it's all part of history now. It's just a piece from the past that you will never get back, why mull over it? Look forward, not back.What would I like to do in the new year? I've long given up on my yearly inclusion of

2009-01-01T18:56:00.003+08:00

So what did you do to usher in the new year?Well, I had a Chuck + sex marathon....I'm kidding about the sex part, obviously.But boyfriend & I watched 21 mind-boggling awesome episodes of Chuck. 21 episodes. Need I remind you, that would be 21 x 40 minutes = 840 minutes, which translates to 14 hours.We started from the pilot episode mid-day yesterday, & we are mere 2 episodes away from Season 2's

My notebook crashed on me early Christmas morning as a wonderful gift.Merry Christmas, y'all.It ain't looking so bad though. I have 2 more years of extended warranty, & I'll have much free time next week to fix the blasted thing (to think how well I treated you!), so it'll be back before you know it. I've also gotten all my music files backed up in a portable HDD.HOWEVER, I'm terribly worried

2008-12-25T00:43:00.002+08:00

Saw Twilight today with Skye.So what do I think about the highly-anticipated movie?One word: EURGH.Let me go on in this rambling tangent.Regarding the R-Pat fever shit (yes, it even has a name!), Robert Pattinson is not THAT gorgeous. He's not worth the screaming/fainting/crying fan girls & the adulation. His angular features are set in a square face, & his acting experience (or lack thereof)

2008-12-21T01:39:00.000+08:00

You've crossed the line.

6 things you probably don't know about me, as tagged by Val:1. I used to chase boybands, ala A1, plusONE, & uh, -teeny voice- F4. Key phrase here: USED TO.2. I superlove the British accent. I love everything about it - the lilt, the sing-song melody, & the posh-ness. I wish everyone speaks like that. The world would be a better place.3. I'm foreign to the concept of God and the term "forever".

HOLY MOLEY.My Jason Mraz kept to his promise & will be in Singapore in March next year.The talented goofball will be playing at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.I got a newsletter saying that the tickets are on sale now but I can't find them anywhere, so no matter, I'll camp out at the websites till they release them tickets.Completely makes my year, what with him being nominated for three (!!!)

2008-12-17T00:57:00.003+08:00

ARGH.Everytime I blink, I feel like a thousand little bees are stinging me. Those little bastards.The price to pay for vanity. D:(To those in the unknown, I lasered off some milia seeds near my eyes, & now they're SLOWLY healing, which explains the scabbing, which is damn bloody ugly & making me sad & gosh, the pain whenever I squeeze my eyes shut!)

So I've spent an amazing amount of moolah in a weekend.One flea market, one Mango sale, one walk through Parkway Parade, & the damage came up to about $200.D:I spent $41 at a flea market. Who spends over $20 at flea markets? Well, can't say those ain't good deals, since the $41 covers 1 pouch, 2 dresses (& one from Forever 21, no less), 1 Topshop tunic & 1 pair of Old Navy shorts.& I bought the

2008-12-11T22:51:00.002+08:00

Where is all these going?I feel like tearing my hair out.Or my brain. Or my heart.That'd be great.I wish to rip out my brain, shred my heart, & gouge out my eyes.That's how I feel right now.Eurgh.

Almost 2 months after my birthday, I'm still blogging about gifts. Shows how completely up-to-date I am.This is from Fiona, who gave this to me on HER own birthday. xD Thanks, darling! It's a tad too big for me though. Heh.& this is from the wonderful boyfriend. :) An iPod Nano 16GB in black. I love it! It's oh-so-sleek, & comes with dangerous curves. I've been catching up on my Pushing Daisies (

"When I'm upset, I'll go running...run it off. Or I kill something. Like, a puppy or something."HAHAHAHAHAHA. That was so randomly funny. Cruel, but funny.& just to reassure everyone, my friends don't kill puppies. Maybe mosquitos & roaches & other pests that ought to be killed anyways.

Do you sometimes feel like you don't belong?It's like the party is in the room, but you're on the other side of the window, looking in.It doesn't matter that the fortunate people in the room wave & smile at you, because you just can't find a way into the room.I sometimes do. Like I'm always on the other side of the window, looking in.Hmm.I guess I'm fine with it.---Also, if you have to put on a

I am still greatly fascinated by sand drawings.Armed with the simplest tools of his trade, Minta, the Taiwanese sand artist, creates drawings so beautiful, it's ridiculous.The 'ooohs' & 'aaaahs' from the guests are very much exaggerated, but his drawings definitely evoke awe.Here you go, three more performances from the talented sand artist.My favourite:I don't understand how he could create such

2008-11-11T23:35:00.004+08:00

This guy is amazing.I don't know if there are any sand artists sprouting from other places, but this Taiwanese guy is the original sand artist.His art is here & now, in the moment. They're fleeting, & destroyed after completion.But the visions are so pretty, & just breathtaking at times.& of coz', you can't help but be awed by his deft fingers, & how every flick & swish has a purpose. Each

Eurgh.I'm kinda irritated.We're celebrating my mom's birthday today (2 days earlier), & I'm the one doing everything.I did the booking of the restaurant.& I have to make a trip specially to buy the cake when my brother & my sister are supposed to be in charge of it since I've already gotten my mom a birthday gift.So I asked them who's getting the cake & they're pushing it to each other.

I am in quite a funk right now.I was staring at this letter from CPF reminding me of the impending payment I have to make, & was just feeling utterly depressed.The interest has snowballed in the last 3 years since I've graduated from poly.It's still going to snowball, & it'll take me YEARS to make the full payment.Some of you may think that $6500 can be easily paid off.Well, screw you.When I get

Watching Obama take the stand is amazing. He's sincere, he speaks with conviction, & he's just an amazing speaker. His words move people.I ALMOST cried, but I didn't. HAHA.Don't know why I'm so affected. I told Vidz that maybe I'm secretly in love with him or something. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.Yeah, & at least McCain was nice & gracious conceding to Obama. & thank goodness Palin didn't speak.
