I met some problems when I create my GIRO account. I have to call to Singapore in order to solve them today. I found some difference in me when I made the call.
Compared to my reaction when I called to Singapore a month or two ago (I believe those who always support my blog would know what do I mean), I found out that I can solve problems in a better way, a calmer way. I didn’t stammer nor heart beating like a drum.
Although my English is as poor as usual, I know how to slow down my talking speed to reduce my anxiety. I am so happy with my changes. Or maybe I’m not as nervous as I used to be because the office sounds nice? (Maybe 75% because of it, haha…)
I have to apologize to the officer (another officer from different department) whom I blamed in this blog before… hmm… I think usually pp won’t stutter as serious as I do… No wonder she’d lose her patient. I am so sorry for my unpleasant manners when I wrote about her.
However, I did laugh when I talked to the officer. To be frank, I would laugh like a crazy even I’m only a bit nervous. You know how scary my laughter is, don’t you? It’s not a good habit; it’ll make me look frivolous although I’m 100% serious. That’s why, I have to change it. I want to look more serious, more decent, like a grown-up uni undergraduate… Hope that I can reach my target.
Actually, saying so much… I admit that I just want to encourage myself. Haha…
嗯，从心情开始说起吧！其实这几天的心情转折颇大的，从开始的不适应、紧张，到后面的放松、享受，我觉得自己改变了，好像长大了些。我很高兴我的亲戚们没因为我的英文程度而嘲笑我……真的。
来说说新加坡吧，嗯……其实现在这儿说华语的人增加了很多，虽然他们的口音听起来怪怪地，可是如果我们仔细听，我们会发现其实中文说得比较标准的，其实是他们，不是我们。他们只是不大会看、不大会写。但是他们的咬字和发音其实都比我们好，只是不知怎么地，一串起来就听得怪怪了。我知道这很令人惊讶，当我自己发现自己的中文其实不比他们好的时候，我的惊讶绝对不亚于你们。这是一部分人啦，还是有人不会中文的。
然后，那边的人……他们的对比很大，冷漠的很冷漠，热情的却很热情。可是他们的服务态度真的是一流的，有耐性，对我这些英文不好的人来说，是很好的，跟我上次去的时候不一样了。然后生活很先进，什么都用我们所说的touch and go。路上没有tol，parking fee也不用像我们这样要自己给，他们有一张卡插在挡风玻璃右下角的机器，经过要给tol的路段和出停车场的时候会自动sensor扣钱。手机很in，很多人玩psp。很多人的耳朵都有插着ear phone听歌或mp4之类的，公共交通工具上没什么人说话。他们走路很快、手扶梯也快，什么都快快快。然后很少胖的，女生多数有化妆，打扮得很美。很多小情侣，有些还当众做出很亲密的动作，养我们的眼。还有很多……
说到ntu，只有一个字形容，大！！！我去做medical check up的时候差点找不到medical centre，还好路是长在人嘴上的，就到处问人怎么去。我奉劝要自己到那儿的同学，记得做足research才好去。上网看看该怎么走……如果我每天在里面走来走去，我相信下一个假期我回来的时候已经没人认得我了。
很高兴这几天可以见到表兄弟姐妹们，更令人高兴的是，我跟他们又有点bond了。我发现……自己其实很怕被孤立，因为他们全都住在新加坡，我怕自己融入不了他们。可是很庆幸地，我是多虑了。其实……还好，虽然中间有冷场过，可是还算有话谈。
这次回新加坡，是回对了，受益颇多。我这几天严重缺乏睡眠，加起来不到20小时。所以现在很累，晚安。
半年前我发现自己的小提琴的bridge有些问题，所以请我合唱团的朋友拿给她的老师修。半年后的今天，小提琴回来了！
我跟朋友约去MidV见面。她搭ktm时竟然搭错车，搭到反方向的车了！我们都知道ktm的车没有一次是准时的，所以她迟了将近一小时！幸好我今天提早两个小时出发，不然我也是迟到的咯，因为我在KL Sentral等ktm等了快一个小时！真的啊，效率要改善了~知道我等她的时候碰到谁吗？哈哈，我碰到Starfish！她在isetan打工哦！
她到的时候大概12点了，我们看完香水后（香水是她哥哥买来送人的），决定去Garden Mall找Starfish一起吃午餐。可是我们好像鬼打墙般，绕来绕去就是绕不到Garden Mall。最后……我们2点多才找到她……脚都快要走断了！很奇怪hor？我们也有去Information center问的咯，就是到不了。回的时候一看，原来我们经过那个出口几十次了，不知怎么都看不到~
我们看到Starfish时她在招待顾客，哇，她的笑容真是甜到蜜蜂都快被吸过来了！又看到她的牙套这样，很可爱！我们认识了这么多年都没见过她这么天真烂漫的笑容。可是她变脸很快，看到我们就恢复她自己的样子，一对上顾客的眼又开始笑到很灿烂。哈哈……然后她对她的搭档（男的）讲话轻声细语这样，看到我们的眼珠都快掉出来了。他们都被骗了啦！
我跟我朋友就一面观察她做工的样子，一面窃窃私语、品头论足。其实这种感觉很爽！怪不得我们一直接到她要杀人的目光……=p然后我们就一起吃午餐，很开心。一面吃一面讲，不断地讲、不断地讲这样。标准的三姑六婆样。哈哈。
吃饱后Starfish就会去做工了。我跟我朋友就去走走咯。逛呀逛地，就逛到Jusco的食品部了！由于今天是星期六，就有很多试吃。我们就选一条街，从头吃到尾！哈哈，我们疯了。蛮不好意思的……不过还是爽啊！早就想这么做很久了！呵呵！
由于我们搭的ktm是相反方向的，所以我们回的时候在不同的platform等火车。由于我们实在太闷了，就玩起了隔空传音的游戏。其实也没什么啦，就是用夸张的嘴型和比手划脚来沟通。站她那边的人一定以为我疯了，同样地，站在我这儿的也肯定会认为她疯了！我们的动作很搞笑……接着我就捧着我的小提琴跟人挤车回家了。哈哈！
NUS的结果终于出炉了。我没被录取。失落，说没有是骗人的。可是，更多涌上心头的是释然。而那股释然，大大减低了失落感……从2月报名至今，有5个月了吧？等得自己都烦躁了起来。因为不知结果，所以所有手续都处于胶着状态，连NTU的东西也做不到。烦烦烦。可是现在，终于有个结果了。哈哈，高兴……现在可以专心办我NTU的手续了。要把之前耽搁的手续全部办好！
NTU中文系，等我吧！我就快投入你的怀抱了！
今天又看了两部片子，都很好看！都没冷场过！
The Incredible Hulk是比较惊险的，我的心是随着情节而跳动的！它的音响做到很好，耳朵都快被震聋了！可是结局就不大好咯~应该会有续集。期待~那时就有3只Hulk了。为什么会有3只呢？看了这部片子就知道了咯！
然后Get Smart，这部戏真是……赞！我3/4的时间都是在大笑着的！哇，它一播完我的肠子已经快绞成一团了。爆笑类型的戏！！我100%介绍这部片！很好笑啦，主角的名字时Max，他是agent86，他的拍档是agent99。他的拍档就一直称他为Max，可是他一直称她为99，笑死我了~比Kong Fu Panda 更好笑！
I stayed up until 3am the day before to write letter and draw comics for Octopus but I had to wake up at 7! Oh my god… Our meeting time was 9.30 but I had already reached school half an hr ago. We planned to go MidV after we all gathered at school. As I had nothing to do, I started wandering around. Lala…
I saw some boards titled “sex and love” or something like that under the Admission Block. They are interesting! Around 9.30, I met ChengDa and FeiFei (FatFat) in Kong Cheng Hall. So we went back to music room together. We had some little chat while waiting for my friends to come.
My friends started showing up ONE BY ONE after 9.30 i.e. they were all late! Lol. Don’t know why I’m coming early alone haih. We started chatting and hugging the toy which we were going to give it to Octopus as a farewell present. Do you know what toy is that? Yes, no doubt, it’s a purple octopus. Lol. We even put it on our head and took picture with it. It’s so cute!!
While we were chatted happily in the music room, Starfish was waiting for us at MidV. She has transport problem to go back to school so she waited for us there. She arrived there before 10! But… actually we set off at 11 as we have to wait for our little Daniel to finish her meeting. We end up reaching there around 12. Ooh poor Starfish, she has been waiting for us for 2 hours!
The first thing we did after we found Starfish is EAT! We were so hungry! We discussed and discussed for what we should take for lunch. Finally, we took our lunch at Chopstick (if I’m not mistaken ==). Hmm… foods over there are expensive! We chatted there more than 1 hour, haha… That high-classed restaurant looked like a market once we stepped into the shop. =p
After our lunch, we keep walking here and there… and bought bak gua. No, we accompanied one of our friends to buy bak gua. Actually we decided to sing K but there’s no Karaoke in MidV. So we (girlS and BOY) started chatting beside a bench. We took pictures too! p/s: we are all girls except HonHon, he’s the only MALE in this gathering.
But when it came to an end, one of our friend played a song named 《一路顺风》. We sang the song for Octopus and we were asked to say something to Octopus. Aiyer, I can’t stand this song; definitely I’ll cry every time I sing it. I guarantee. Haih, then we started sobbing when we said something to Octopus. I finally burst into tears when Octopus and I hugged each other. Actually not only me... everyone did.
I know we looked so ridiculous crying in public. Especially there’re about 10 of us! We shouldn’t choose such a place to cry. Sobsob. It’s so embarrassing. I look ugly when I cry. But this is for Octopus, so it’s ok la. 反正全部人一起丢脸，哈哈！
Starfish, HonHon, The Short and I left before they dismissed. The Short and I had to attend Kira’s farewell which was located in 1U too. My head was going to burst as we cried too much before that and the bus driver was driving rudely. Ah, my head… I’m going to vomit.
Finally we met Kira. We took some picture before BL, Romeo and her sis and I left. We had to leave earlier because Romeo had to fetch her brother at 4.30. Hmm... This is the farewell for my son, Kira but I received a present too! They were given by Kai Ying and my sons, Kira, and Sasuke. Kira said that it’s for my farewell present. As she left Malaysia before I do, so she gave the present for me 1st. Thanks so much! I love you all!
I’m so sorry son, mama didn’t buy you present. And mama only showed up on your farewell party for about 15 minutes. I’m truly sorry son… but remember, mama always love you!
I was too tired, I just pok on the floor straight away after I stepped into the living room and took a soundly nap. BL told me that I looked like a dying fish when we were on the way home! Haha…
今天去吃西餐，set lunch来的，RM17.90++。有面包、汤、花生、主餐、咖啡。面包超好吃，那间店自己做的哦！可是那个汤就……应该是青豆汤吧？味道有点怪。主餐……今天忽然sot到神经，点了beef and lamb combo。这是我第一次吃牛肉，而且是没熟透的牛肉，应该是7分熟。看到它那粉红色的肉，真的有点……恶心。不过还好，还是吃完了。不过……应该过一段时间后我才有勇气再试吃牛肉……
忽然很想念以前学过的《琵琶行》和Shakespeare的Sonnet 18。就放在这儿，让大家一同回味。
琵琶行
浔阳江头夜送客，枫叶荻花秋瑟瑟。主人下马客在船，举酒欲饮无管弦。
醉不成欢惨将别，别时茫茫江浸月。忽闻水上琵琶声，主人忘归客不发。
寻声暗问弹者谁，琵琶声停欲语迟。移船相近邀相见，添酒回灯重开宴。
千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面。转轴拨弦三两声，未成曲调先有情。
弦弦掩抑声声思，似诉平生不得意。低眉信手续续弹，说尽心中无限事。
轻拢慢捻抹复挑，初为霓裳后六幺。大弦嘈嘈如急雨，小弦切切如私语。
嘈嘈切切错杂弹，大珠小珠落玉盘。间关莺语花底滑，幽咽泉流冰下难。
冰泉冷涩弦疑绝，疑绝不通声暂歇。别有幽愁暗恨生，此时无声胜有声。
银瓶乍破水浆迸，铁骑突出刀枪鸣。曲终收拨当心画，四弦一声如裂帛。
东舟西舫悄无言，唯见江心秋月白。
沉吟放拨插弦中，整顿衣裳起敛容。自言本是京城女，家在虾蟆陵下住。
十三学得琵琶成，名属教坊第一部。曲罢曾教善才伏，妆成每被秋娘妒。
五陵年少争缠头，一曲红绡不知数。钿头云篦击节碎，血色罗裙翻酒污。
今年欢笑复明年，秋月春风等闲度。弟走从军阿姨死，暮去朝来颜色故。
门前冷落鞍马稀，老大嫁作商人妇。商人重利轻别离，前月浮梁买茶去。
去来江口守空船，绕船月明江水寒。夜深忽梦少年事，梦啼妆泪红阑干。
我闻琵琶已叹息，又闻此语重唧唧。同是天涯沦落人，相逢何必曾相识。
我从去年辞帝京，谪居卧病浔阳城。浔阳地僻无音乐，终岁不闻丝竹声。
住近湓江地低湿，黄芦苦竹绕宅生。其间旦暮闻何物，杜鹃啼血猿哀鸣。
春江花朝秋月夜，往往取酒还独倾。岂无山歌与村笛，呕哑嘲咋难为听。
今夜闻君琵琶语，如听仙乐耳暂明。莫辞更坐弹一曲，为君翻作琵琶行。
感我此言良久立，却坐促弦弦转急。凄凄不似向前声，满座重闻皆掩泣。
座中泣下谁最多？江州司马青衫湿。
SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
