Suddenly feel like putting him everywhere. Haha. Indulge in me, please. (: Wish he's mine. HAHAHA I would love to collect those Be@rbricks he have too...
What a busy recess I have. 2 projects to complete, 2 mid term tests to study for, Thai homework to do, 2 potential Thai surprise tests next week.
I have not the mood to study for anything. Least of all Economics. I wonder where I should start from. Economics? Thai? New Media?

Over the weekend, I came up with this crazy idea of going to Taiwan for a month after this AY ends. That would the period from May to August, excluding 4 days in June for the Freshmen Faculty Camp.
I have always wanted to go to Taiwan and visit the whole of Taiwan, from the south to the north, east, central and west. The scenery, the culture, the shopping. But most of all, staying in a country for a month would enable me to immerse myself in the country's day-to-day activities. To be more than a tourist.
My parents are also excited about the prospect of going to Taiwan though I doubt my dad can take leave for a month although he has 42days of leave. In this time, I'm afraid he would go from taking a month leave to a permanent leave. Surprisingly, my siblings expressed great interest in going too! To be more precise, I'm surprised my bro wants to go cos every time my family goes to Thailand, he refused to go with us.
I do hope this plan fulfills itself! Destination Taiwan. This will definitely encourage me to do well for my exams this semester. HAHAHA! Maybe not a month but hopefully 3 weeks? Or maybe even a side trip to HK since it's just on the other side of the sea? : D

My dad bought a new TV on V Day. (: The old one cannot produce the blue pixels(?!) anymore. So the images are made up of red and yellow and the combination of those colours. Quite irritating on the eyes.
I decided to skip the econs lecture this week. Simply too tired and the stress of Thai is seriously catching up. I wish I am a three year old again, so I can pick up a language real quick and without as much difficulty.
I left school at 3.55pm, caught 183 less 5min later and alighted just in time to catch bus 30 home and reached home at 4.45pm. Today's a good bus day. (:
damn. i just realised 'today' is actually yesterday already. Thai lesson in 14.5 hours! *horrors horrors horrors*

I believe I have never blogged about learning the Thai Language before. As I learn more of the language, I realised how I have been writing a particular phrase wrongly for the 2-3 years. The correct version is the first row of words in the picture above. It actually means "study hard".
And just look at how similar some of the Thai consonants are. Short of memorising them, I have no idea how to go about remembering them. :/
But it is nonetheless the module I have most fun in, although my pronunciation is horrible and I still can't sight read.
Last night I felt very empty all of a sudden. The absence of my Thai kids over at Mae Hong Son. I suppose I can't see them as 'my kids' already. After all, the youngest of my 'students' is already 14 years old! And the oldest has got to be 18 already! Time passed too quickly. I was 17, they were 11-15. I so miss them.
Last night, too, I realised the inadequacies of the typical search engine in the area of academic research. I am just starting to get to know how to use the NUS online Library to find academic papers for my projects. There really is a wealth of knowledge in there. And yes, I have to credit Elf Seah for the knowledge. Thanks a million! (:

Aeriel wishes for a chauffeur! She is sick of traveling to and from school everyday. She is sick of the 6pm traffic jam on ECP every Monday and Wednesday. She is sick of only being able to go home at 8pm every Tuesday and Thursday. And it is only Week 5. *dammit*
V Day is coming. *double dammit*

Date: 8 February 2009 Venue: Botak Jones Bedok Verdict: satisfying but over-ate...
My souvenir. A tradition which I practise whenever I go to a Botak Jones outlet. Haha. The September 18 2008 meal -aeRieL-

SDE Bash 09: 6 Febraury 09, Gotham Penthouse
Went down to support my friend's friend Lina. Her responses were so much better than the other contestants' responses and her partner was funny too. The former probably earned her lots of points! (:
But the Bash itself was rather boring. The atmosphere was not high at all. I felt like I was back at the FOC. 2 groups shouting cheers at each other, two groups trying to outshout each other. *roll my eyes*
The 'after-party' was so so so much better. This band called Brown Inc entertained the crowd for 1 whole hour before I left. The atmosphere really went up. The loud music was very comfortable. It is an ideal place for a moody person. Just let yourself drift with the music, forget the world waiting outside, get yourself warm with the alcohol n all. I like the feeling. (:
Oh ya, Jodie tried to teach me to dance. It felt so unnatural to dance. I got dragged out to the dance floor cos I told YuQian's gf (who also don't dance) that if she go out I'll go. We were actually happily chatting one n YQ pulled his gf out to the dance floor so I had to go too. *sigh*
My first clubbing experience. Enjoyable if I start from the 'after-party' but I guess I was there too early. Didn't really see the real night scene.

my family took a lot of crazy shots during CNY but I'm not uploading them onto my blog! Haha! This is a relatively normal (with the exception of my brother...) one. Haha. It's been a long time since my family last took a family shot during CNY. Glad the 'tradition' resumed. (:

The very cool, very charismatic 刘谦老师. Magician by trade.
And from certain angles he looks like a secondary school classmate Thomas. I have been staring at him every Saturday during 综艺大哥大 because I found him vaguely familiar. Finally figured out who he looked like. Haha.
