my boyfriend is like Kia

k. I’m not trying to promote KIA cars here but it’s sort of a comparison of my boyfriend to KIA.
as you know my boyfriend is pretty much a car lover and a huge fan of Mercedes. he could go on and on to rave about the amazing gadgets that Mercedes have. something like the air cons, the leg space..sometimes i get so jealous that i think he loves Mercedes more than me. i onced questioned him to choose between driving in germany’s autobahn and driving a mercedes in singapore. guess what..he chose the latter.
i used to have this perception that korean cars are very much inferior compared to european cars. it’s like korean cars’ quality are just next to china’s production. however, travelling more on a Kia has definitely changed my perception of Kia cars. k, this post is with regards to Kia’s cerato. it has a continental car design and i love the electronic car control system. plus it’s 2L engine is reasonable for singapore roads and i love it’s light steering wheel. it’s like over expectations of a typical korean cars.
to why my boyfriend is a resemblance of Kia, i’ve got this silly analogy. most girls will typical choose a mercedes as their partners. coz they have the money and nice exterior look. more importantly, it’s the branding and status that mercedes carries with them. but i chose a Kia because of it’s economical value and similar quality that it has to a mercedes. what it maybe lacks is it’s branding.
and if you read through straitstimes car of the year 2009, the Kia cerato forte is ranked at 3rd! just a level below the expensive e-class. it’s a no-brainer for e-class to be in the ranking, but for a Kia to be in this ranking means something right?
driving my kia which has a strong engine, continental car design and good steering wheels priced much lower without forgoing on quality. it is why i like him. =)

what am i up to?

oh dear, i haven’t been updating. i guess coz i can’t think of anything interesting to post up. so the big question, what have i been doing?
well…basically school has started and i’m only taking 2 modules plus my slack FYP. you can imagine how free my timetable will be. since i currently only have 2 tuition kid which only takes up my time during the evenings. my day times are basically very free..leaving me with nothing to do. hence, this calls for a job. yeah..recently gotten myself a part time job teaching IT. yes yes..technology. basically robotics, things which i’ve got some experience in but not very good at it though.
so life now revolves around, robotics work, combat, tuition, school and not forgetting my dear. =)

fire rabbit in tiger year

was walking around popular and browse through the predictions of my chinese zodiac for the upcoming tiger year. seems like all is well for the fire rabbit me! initially, i just skimmed through the book to know my outlook for the year. as i read more, i realised that the book’s explanation for the ox year was so true for me. read through more and saw more happy stuff… such as rabbit is compatible with the rat. reading stuff that makes you happy and delighted do make you want to continue to read more.
people are usually like that..read stuff to please themselves. it isn’t a bad thing afterall..whether all these predictions will come true or not. it provides you with a glimpse of hope and a tinge of happiness. moreover, i’m the sort of person whose quite ban tang and gets paranoid over bad luck omen, reading through good outlook for the year ahead sure brightens me up.
i’ve read my predictions for the year, have you read yours?

random poem at night

suddenly thought of this in the middle of the night…
studying is like shitting. you feel so constipated and disgusted.
after you’re done shitting, you graduate and get your toilet paper.
the toilet paper is used to cover your ass..
dang..things that i think at night!

new year's resolution

was looking through the list of resolution that i set for last year… i guess i sort of modified my resolution however achieving the same result. as for this year, with my last semester in school and in turn moving onto the real society will mean alot to me.
simple resolutions for the year
lose weight – i’ve been tipping off the scale by alot eversince i’ve returned back from europe. singapore food isn’t helping at all when it’s much cheaper and more yummy!
improve my cap – thankfully i did good enough for last semester and this semester will mean to maintain it so that my toilet paper looks decent enough to cover my ass
get a decent enough job – kay. this explains much of my great reluctance to enter into the work society. i don’t aspire to get a job that pays good remuneration and having a good reputation. all i need is a job with prospects and lots of training…being a greenhorn into the workforce i need lots of ammunition to survive in the rat race so when i’m armed with more skills, i’m able to better protect myself. haha..sound like i’m out for war. but i’ve heard enough of office politics and hopefully i’ll be able to handle all these nonsense.
travel to a new destination - still contemplating plans for my graduation trip. seeking for khaki to travel and destination to go too. longing to escape from my sheltered home to seek for adventure!
happiness to all my friends and including myself - may all the singles find their true one and all couples last..simply put ‘never allow sadness to haunt you and happiness to follow you’
i’ve make my new year’s resolution, have you made yours?

happy new year and i've shifted blog! to those who want to continue to peek into my inner life. do ask me personally for my new blog address!

a year has past by and what have you done over this year?

i recall whatever i've done this year through my notebook. my notebook which notes down the activities i do and places i've gone to. the tattered and torn book has been through thick and thin with me this year. be it good times or bad times. this year indeed has been a fruitful travelling year whereby i spent 68 days holidaying. when i mean holidaying implies going overseas from eindhoven/singapore and relaxing to have fun. this is a substantial number i supposed.

sep experience...

being away from home does help me put things back in perspective. being away from home made my life much easier..and with the beauty of foreign land get rids of the boredom that i always lament back in singapore. more importantly, i've learnt to take things on stride and do things on my own. not that i'm not independent but i'm more open and daring to just dive into something without much hesitation.

project life in school..

this semester has been so different such that there's a great reduction in examination and increase amount in project work. i've had my fair share of capable and redundant groupmates. the difference in which my grades are assess made me to change the way and style i do things. thankfully everything went well eventually and i'm glad i made through it

working...

i decreased my working load as there's no need for me to earn that much money. this time round, i work for passion and enjoyment rather than for a living. moreover, i've got an increasing job which enables me to know more youngsters. so i guess working isnt a chore afterall but rather a past time for me.

there's much of ups and downs in this year and overall i guess i had a smooth year for me. be it in studying, working or personal relationship life...as i've been mentioning this on various post. i'm a happy girl and truely is... so i guess my main new years resolution will be to have a happier new year!
