it feels like being discrete isnt enough.


i'm just feeling that these days i have to keep pondering what i said or what i am going to say to not offend ppl.
it just feels really tiring to have to do that all the time.
and it feels stupid to have to keep doing that too.
i dont know why i constantly get the feeling that my words are always thought in a way more negative manner when all i meant is just that.
yes, it's just that simple.

anyway, i am grateful there's still others which i dont have to worry about them getting the wrong idea.
and i am grateful for them which makes it a lot better.
and i'm just guessing. perhaps my eq isnt as high.

22 May 2008:

My Poly Graduation.

it's goodbye to 3 years.
nostalgia.
sighs.
but it was an odd day.
felt odd throughout the whole ceremony.
haha.
oh and it's the first time i heard (or maybe seriously heard) the temasek school song in full.
hahaha.


the TCC.
everyone was getting bored and all. since it started quite late.
and there were a few addresses.






















and after the ceremony. it was the madness photo-taking sessions.
hahaha.



















G508! hahaha. (:
to bh: why are u half-squatting! (:





















lw&mr hor!























outside TCC. it was like almost an hour after the ceremony but there were still lots of people. yep, the photo-taking sessions were not over yet.
and the professional photo ppl havent send me the pic.
sighs.

white or red














life is such.
people get born. live and thn die/ eventually.
the bible says that 'For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son. And those that believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.' John 3:16

thing is not being religious or not.
at the end of the day, it's that cringing sensation that hurts the most.
browsing through friendster, i cant help but look at weichoo's profile again.
people are telling her what's been happening in their lives for the past few days, constantly giving her updates.
but i cant help but understand the fact that the person i see in those photos is no longer around, although it's alr been a few months, it still feels weird.

there was a wedding on sat.
and as we were leaving the house, there was a wake going on.
i dont know if it's me being sensitive again,
but i cant help but think all these deaths recently, including the one at sichuan, that there are just too many people dying.

these past few weeks havent been going on smoothly.
lots of stuff happened.
lots of unreasonable people and lots of glitches here and there.
sighs.

abt 2 more days to graduation, which i totally fret.
it was like i always thought: graduation's so far away.
and at the blink of an eye, yes. I AM GRADUATING ALREADY>
thing is i am more sad than happy about it.

I AM SO GOING TO MISS TP>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE LECTURE HALLS>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE MUSHROOM>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE LIBRARY>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE SALAD BAR AT MENSA2>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS BREADBOARD>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE TUTORIAL ROOMS>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS THE BADMINTON SESSIONS>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS SPREEING AT FREE ACCESS LABS>
I AM ALREADY MISSING CDS DAYS>
I AM SO GOING TO MISS MY SIP STATION>
AND YES, I CANT BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS BUT, I AM GOING TO MISS CLIMBING UP 8 STOREYS>
AND, OH, VERY IMPORTANT, LIKE REAL I AM GOING TO MISS THE LECTURERS (just kidding!)>
AND ALSO, I AM GOING TO MISS MY CLASSMATES OF 3 YEARS!!!!!!>
AND ALSO PEOPLE FROM THE SAME BATCH SAME COURSE>




i am still super envious that mr amos angyichong went to taiwan.

tired


lots of stuff to settle.
uni applications. work. and the other random stuff.
havent gotten a driving instructor.
and havent done what i am supposed to do.
sighs.

thing is i dont know if it is the restlessness or i'm just feeling plain tired.
i realised that i'm getting sensitive these days.
i dont know if it's the instinct thing,
or just the fact that certain things that should be clear seems more negative to me instead.
I HAVE TO BE MORE DISCRETE>


i've been feeling weird these days though.
anyway krys was toured around tp that day.
guessing there were more 'tourists' in tp that day.\
and i miss the lecture theatres.

saigon


more pics.
pretty much the random ones.



well, it was raining the first day. so i took this:





















and also as usual the massive number of bikes on the streets:






















one of the rooms in the cu chi tunnels. they're actually covered in leaves and all. just that since it's for tourism purposes, they have to.. ermm. expose it. for us to see. haha.





















the tunnel. it is small. it was hard bending and all. imagine how they lived for 25 years in these:





















the ben thanh market (foods section):

3may2008- yah still in saigon.


set out early for the cu chi tunnels since it takes really long to get there.
saw the whole array of traps, brutality and cleverness for war.
there were living quarters, mini hospitals, kitchens and all.
and i tried shooting for real. and seriously it was loud. blaring to the ears. but surprisingly fun. hahha.
and this is one of the entrances to the tunnels.
apparently it is made larger alr.
since the people before, the viet tong (is it spelt this way?), were small in size, sort of less than 165cm.



















there are lots of other pictures. but i'm lazy. hhaha.




























they were selling snake wine. which seriously. is a cobra. as in yah. SNAKE WINE>






anyway, after that it was the long ride back.... and so the camera became my confidant again. hahha.



















we were near the countryside..




























and starting to get sleepy. (i know i am over-using the sepia thing in the camera. yah. but still... it's nice.)





and so we headed for lunch.




















i saw bill clinton's photo in there!



we had pho dong (pronounced as fur dong). it's beef soup noodles by the way. the viets are famous for it too.




































accompanied with veggies and mint leaves. and yah it was nice.




it was shopping again and thn on our way to the airport.
there wasnt much to shop in saigon though.
sighs/

and well it was home sweet home (:
and back to the bigger cathay in singapore. hahahaa.

2may2008: still in saigon

city tour-

1. Reunification Palace or ex-presidential palace:



















the view





















look what i found! a mini cathay!





















level 7 operator coming overr!





















level 7 operator! can i have the house music for.. errr. the.. errr.. yah./



2. Notre Dame Cathedral:

























vintage. it's nice really. and really beautiful. and incredibly it was built by the french since 1863.





3. General Post Office:



















the inside is really nice. apparently it's gothic styled. and obviously french too.



























there were clocks for seoul, L.A, new york and all. but no sg though./



we actually went to a war museum too. the pictures and writings there were gruesome. didnt manage to take much picturest too.

anyway. after lunch was back to the hotel for games.



















the eggies are to be thrown into creations. anyway, ours managed to stay unbroken and still stand tall.


afterwards. since it was free and easy. we decided to go to the Ben Thanh Market/

didnt manage to get much though. and all of us soon realised that the people there put their prices rocket high and haggling is much needed. cos even the normal supermarkets or the fixed priced shops sell stuff cheaper than most of the people there. who says the people there arent clever?

at night. we decided to get to sheraton towers in saigon and go to the club/lounge @ level 23.

the band's great. and through intervals i heard 'scream' playing again. from sg all the way to vietnam it's been playing non-stop. anyway, didnt get drunk and slept late.

day1. 1may 2008: in saigon
on the bonsai cruise since it lasted for about 3 hours. and it was buffet not french. so i started to get restless and confided in the camera.


















i guess dad was restless too cos he's playing with me the 'i take u u take me' thing.


the night markets.
obviously it's shopping again.
i realised there isnt much to get there though.
but decided to get one of those sandals thing that they're known for.
and yah he was 'operating' on my slipper at that time.
cos i didnt want flowery straps and a different pattern on the sole thing.
so it was mix and match time.
haha anyway it was a good buy. about 6 bucks SGD. which is 60000DONG.

1may2008 - 3may2008

so instead of, like the others, working on labour day since the pay's doubled (doubled seriously!), i went for mom's office trip thing to saigon.


thing is, i went there not knowing what to expect. cos the location's sort of exotic. i would say it feels even more exotic than bangkok. but it was much better than i thought it would be.


just so you know, some of the facts abt saigon that girls should know is that:

1. the guys have to take an exam for the universities after high school (same as sg.)

2. the ones that pass go to uni for 4 years and are exempted from ns (it's unfair)

3. and therefore, the guys that actually go to the army in vietnam are sort of labelled as the ones with no future by the girl's fathers cos they have to waste another 3 years.


and so day1:

took the plane from sg. i dont know if it's karma or just i am plain unlucky, the flight was delayed for an hour.




















so we reached HCMC late.
and it poured.
so it wasnt a very nice start.
first thing i realised at saigon was the wires (crazy potential fire hazards) and the number of motorists on the streets.

dear blog

i know this is random. but sometimes i just feel that calling u 'hurtx-smilex.blogspot.com' is getting childish. considering i made this blog and your blog webby when i was 15 years old and the 'x's and all the other weird vocabs were in rage, which is so not in rage anymore or at least the rage part ended a long time ago. i'm not going to admit that i'm passe or cliche in my language whatsoever, but yeah, i am ACTUALLY thinking of making u a different name. but that might not be a very good idea either since i have alr written almost 500 posts on you and certain stuff i would definitely love to keep cos they're memories, well, worth keeping. and THUS, i just decided to keep you for now till i really cant stand feeling all passe and cliche all over again. and so the lesson learnt is that perhaps i should've given you a much more normal name, like 'rambles' or 'rambling' or 'justrambling' or something serious as 'wongliwern' or 'liwern' or maybe 'liwernisrambling'. oh no.. WHAT"S GOTTEN INTO ME?
