Lady Antebellum - Lookin' For A Good Time

Came across this song while playing Tap Tap Revenge on my handphone. =D
Don't have much time to blog... sorry ah. Gotta go do some homework. My centad group has been way too engrossed in ambi for the entire holiday so far. But we enjoy every minute of it! Maybe except for programming the servo. =p
Looking foward to the next shijia meeting! =)
And btw! thanks to Julia, all SLSians can now post on SLS. Just log in as per normal, using shanliangsociety at gmail dot com as the username.

Bored

No one tagged me to do this,
but I'm just going to be a non-essential-extra.

THE RULES :People who were tagged need to blog about their 10 weird habits/little facts. At the end , you have to choose 10 person to be tagged and list their names.

1) I love cute furry stuff and anything which is a nice shade of pink.
2) I'm somewhat afraid of talking to guys
3) I think I'm a geek
4) I have an odd habit of counting the number of syllables in short sentences or phrases, and then grouping them into 'mini palindromic groups' of syllables. Bet you don't understand what I just said, because I found it abstract too. =P

For example, let's look at the phrase on the post-it note stuck on my table which says "Do 1 physics SAT paper by Wednesday"

total: 13 syllables
Then I'd break it up into groups: 6syllables-1syllable-6syllables
note that 6-1-6 is a palindrome!!
So it'd go,
'Do 1 physics SA ---T --- paper by wednesday'

Gosh, I'm so weird.
5) I learnt how to use the desktop computer at the age of 4. Mentor? My dad!
6) I don't like to have my picture taken
7) I have my dad's eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and even palmprints. Along with my mum's jawline and my auntie's ears (kind of).
8) My mum's gynaecologist initially told my parents that I was a boy while doing an ultrasound scan, because at the very tender age of 5 months or so in my mum's tummy, I positioned my index finger at an especially strategic part of my torso... for reasons I do not know.
9) I can stretch and isolate my smallest toe from the rest of my toes - no hands!
10) I was born with one eye open and the other closed, which horrified my mum. That is, until I was brought into the room where newborns are placed in those plastic cots. My mum claims that I opened both my eyes from then on (which calmed my parents down significantly) and refused to sleep, staring at some angmoh baby boy next to me. =p

TAGGED!

Elain requested for photos taken during my vacation... But I'm too lazy to upload them now.=P Besides, I'm bogged down by the SATs and centad. Hehe. So I'll upload them this Saturday night, after my SATs on SATurday k?? =D

Oh ya. I kena-ed a flu virus from the US. Nice souvenir huh.

Anyway I kena-ed a tag from Jael to do this quiz. I caught some sleep from 10pm to 12.30pm, and woke up again to do research. (note: originally intended to wake up at 11pm. oops)
And since it's 3.22am now and I'm tired of doing research on servos, I'm gonna do this quiz! Whoo!

Tuesday 2 December 2008

jetlag. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Arrived in Singapore at some terrible time... around 1am yesterday from vacation in USA! It was an 8.5 hour flight from San Francisco to Narita Airport in Japan, a 2 hour transit time, and then another 10 hours or so from Japan to my dear home. The second flight was an unexpectedly choppy one, so I skipped dinner in the plane.

This trip was filled with fun, mirth, adrenaline, and shopping highs. Sigh... I think I spent wayyyyy too much money this time buying a lot of branded goods in factory outlets. Heehee. ^_^ I rarely spend money like how I drink ice water, so I suppose indulging once in a blue moon is fine?? =D

Oh. I decided to let my sanity go on vacation too when I was in disneyland. i.e. I went to take some pretty crazy rides which my dad adamantly refused to accompany me for. I had to go alone, sob sob. The most memorable? Definitely the Tower of Terror:Twilight Zone in California Adventure Park of disneyland. It brings you god-knows-how-many-storeys high up in this tattered old haunted Hollywood Hotel in a lift, then drops you all the way down without warning.

And just as I thought that was the end, the lift started to accelerate upwards at a very worrying speed, then abruptly fell down again. This repeated for several times. Later, the lift door opens suddenly to present to all the pale-faced thrill seekers in the lift a very scenic view of disneyland from high above. It politely allows you to take in the breathtaking view for a few delightful moments, and then ruthlessly grabs away whatever breath you have left in your lungs by plunging down again. Biang eh, scream until no more breath to scream. I couldn't walk properly after the ride. hahahaha =D but it was fun!!

SAT subject tests (phy, chem, math lvl2) coming right up in my face this Saturday! Gotta go practice! =D

And Jael don't worry I will do that quiz of yours from your blog! And thanks for your sweet mms! =D
