stop being so judgemental

Am taking the time right now to blog about this topic since I'm sick, and in no mood to study at all despite the 4 papers I have next which, which sorta explains for my lack of updates.
 
So this is a topic,that has been widely broached, and yet something that will never be solved or settled just because. People are widely known to be judgemental, even on people they have never seen or met before. Even on passerby. It's really sad to say, but who am I, who are we to judge others like this.
 
Sure, we all make passing comments on the strangers we see on the street, judging them for a terrible fashion sense, overly made-up face, having a body-odour etc etc. But these, are all just superficial, and won't exactly hurt anybody since we do not know them, and they us.
 
BUT, what happens if it is a case of family members judging family? It has been an apparent issue in my family, although not immediate, and although I may not be in the position to say much, I can't help but to feel extremely irritated at the person.
 
Sure, that family may not have such a good background but that is just unavoidable. All we can do is show our support to them. But no. Instead of that, you have been doing the complete opposite, and going around belittling them. Sure, no to their face, but you tell other family members about it. Don't you see how despicable this act makes you?
 
It's not that you're very much better than them now that you are behaving as such you know. Seriously, with all that you have done, and being as hypocritical as you are, I am slowly losing all respect I've ever had for you.
 
And, seriously, what that family chooses to do, and how they behave is really not for you to judge. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and as different as it may be from yours, they are still right, as long as it is nothing against the law.
 
Don't go around making up ridiculous statements when we all know that it isn't true, especially when even you yourself know it isn't true. It just makes you look so terribly ugly on the inside.
 
I know no matter what, everyone is prone to judge someone. But even so, please do keep it to yourself especially when it comes to family! Because sometimes, the things you say, may cause shit you never want happening to happen. And by then, it would be too late to take those words back, and you may not even have the chance to remain on talking terms anymore.
 
Seriously, to anyone reading this post, do take note, Always be careful with what you say, because, I know what it's like to have said something wrong on impulse, and lose a friend because of it. I am not proud to admit it, but at least I know I've done wrong, and am willing to work on it. Being judgemental about people, especially those close to you really will bring you no where good.

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2013!

Well, it really isn't anymuch different from previous years, so to speak.
CNY has, been the same for years. The only difference being that we all grew bigger. HAHHAHA!

But this year, really has got me pondering. You see, with the end of my poly life, would bring about new challenges and decisions to be made.

The choice of whether to move on to university or to go get a job for now before pursuing my studies in further down the road... It's not an easy decision I must say. And all the conversations I've had, it's been messing with my brains! Too many differing opinions.

But in the end, it'll still be down to me to decide how I want my future to look like!

Daddy's quote for this year: 条条大路通罗马. (All roads leads to Rome)

Which then reflects. There are so many roads to get to the end, but it's how you do it, and the choices you make getting there. Whether or not you take the shortcut, and end up meeting travesities along the way, or do it the long way, but achieve it without any major problems.

OK, so enough said! Photo time! (Although, it is all on FB already!)





 



























THE NIKON 1 J2 ♥

Alright! So, I'm here to blog about the NIKON 1 J2 which you can find out about from this link: http://bit.ly/Y2OiSY, or, of course  read on to know more as I shamelessly try to win myself this fantastic camera!
 
This wonderful camera comes in a total of six colours, as you can see here!
 
Personally, I always loved my electronic gadgets in white, as is evident from my previous iPhone 4 which I bought in white, and my current iPhone 5, which is white as well. I mean, even my Polaroid is white! TEEHEE :)
 
BUT, I must say, the maroon (oxblood, for some of you) is just so gorgeous, and I can't seem to keep my eyes off of it! Well, it is my new current favourite colour anyway!
 
So, this baby here, is equipped with an advanced hybrid AF system, which does wonders in focusing and speed capture, so you would never have to worry about shaky hands or missed moments ever again! I personally, love it for this particular reason! Can never seem to have the power of not shaking my hands if i am trying to single-handedly take a photo, so this would come to great use, what with it's superior precision!
 
The fact that this little one here weighs but just a mere 363grams is also a wonder! With my bag always being so ultra heavy, having something lightweight as this would compel me to use i more often, rather than just relying on my phone for pictures as I do now, which has comparatively lower quality photos. :(
 
With 8 effects available for you to choose from under the creative mode function, you would also fine yourself not needing to edit your photos as much anymore (other than to get rid of those blemishes you cannot conceal or maybe photoshop some fats away:))!
 
Some examples of the effects would be the ultra cool miniature effect, which turns things to look like as if the picture was taken in a town made of toys!
 
Other effects would range from selective colour, night landscape and even an easy panorama for shoots that extends horizontally r even vertically!
 
THIS, though is really the icing on the cake!
 
Words just cannot come close to explaining how much love I have for this! Remember what I said about shaky hands, well, this would definitely solve that problem! And taking motion photos would be a breeze! You never need to worry about blinking eyes, unfocused images or anything, for that matter ever again!
 
What more, there is also a full HD video recording function, which allows you to take still images at the same time! Perfect for when you want to take both photos and videos at the same time without using 2 gadgets huh! I LOVE IT!
 
Another cool function about this little one would be the fact that with a turn of it's lens, it can turn the camera on or off all without having to press the power button! It's all about the convenience!
 
The built in flash also allows for better photo quality when capturing, especially at night!
 
Finally, when buying a camera, you obviously cannot miss out on this fact! With a 10.1million effective pixel, you can be sure that any photos taken by this little one will turn out sharp and gorgeous!
 
So, to sum it all up, taking photos with this baby, would definitely make you look fabulous, especially in all your outfits with its sharp colours, wonderful pixels, and well, everything!
 
Come learn more about this camera here!
 
And, since I can't decide which colour, to pick, I ended up snapping myself in an outfit which reflects both of the colours I would love to get my hands on!
 


Although, in all honesty, I myself can only see the oxblood as the lighting really made my white sweater disappear...

Top Table!

So, feeling quite bad cause I've been neglecting this blog for a reallyyyyyyy long time now. But I really can't help it. Projects are such a pain in the ass, and I barely have time to breathe. It's just annoying how many there are, BUT, we're finally down to the last 2 reports, and we'd only be left with the presentations and subject interviews.

Sadly though, it's these 2 reports that are the most burdensome. I just don't understand how it can even be so bad. But I must say, from these 6 group projects, I have came to a decision, I will NEVER work in anything remotely related to marketing, EVER! It's such a chore and just OMG.

Well, anyway, took some time off, before settling back down to work on projects and had lunch at Top Table with the group on Tuesday afternoon! Made a booking for 11:30, and not surprisingly though, there were late comers. HAHA...

Set meal of the week:


Mocktail of the day: Orange Candy, it's actually a mix of orange and mango juice.


 The Bread; Pumpkin seed with cranberry, and well, I've never seen the other before even while I was in the kitchen, so that, remains a mystery.


Jicama Salad; Basically, turnip, green apple, capsicum, lettuce and rocket in a lemon-yoghurt dressing garnished with pine nuts. (The portion became much smaller than when I was in kitchen... Maybe it's just the HTM students? LOL)


Pumpkin soup with wolfberry seeds; something went wrong somewhere. Should be served with fried wanton skin on the side, but well, like I said, most probably it's just the HTM students...


Pan fried sea bass in dill cream sauce; I'm not too sure of the standard of this since I didn't try it, BUT, it's definitely a little over done looking at the colour. Shouldn't be so black.. :/


Beef striploin served with red wine sauce; Totally over done... Dry beyond believe :( But the potato was done really well.


Praline Mousse served with coffee ice cream and hazelnut biscotti; The ice cream was really super fragrant, and the biscotti was perfect. Loved the biscuit at the bottom of the mousse too!


 
Overall, a really enjoyable meal still. Loads of fun and all. Relieving our SSM/Culinary days, trying to help the LRM juniors stealthily and totally comparing our culinary skills to the HTM people's. Our's was DEFINITELY better! hhehehe...
 
And, well, the teachers were still assholes to the students as usual.. Way too nit-picky. But it's funny seeing them getting all flustered.
 
That one boy, Bastion especially, damn funny and all when serving! But, GOOD JOB LRM Tuesday Top Table batch!

An update, finally.

LOL! Finally back with an update!
I've really been neglecting this blog, but there's just so much to be done, it's mad cray!
Had 2 submissions the week I got back from Taiwan, not to mention how one was a next day submission.
And then, internal submissions for group projects one every week starting last!
And now, I've a test tomorrow that I barely started studying for.

GOD, the teacher's such a liar. So he claims, we just have 5 topics from 7 Lectures to study for.
It's a one hour test mind you, but it's so content heavy it's crazy.
OK, nevermind that, then today during tutorial, he actually mention that oh this, this, this topic can just briefly read through no need study so much, won't come up so much... BUT, this topic please understand more, however, it's just application? AND, please understand lecture 8 as well. It's linked to lecture 7. Hello. Don't be so contradicting with your words can?

Alright, enough with ranting about school anyway!
Caught Les Miserables with joyjoy gugu on sunday! such a beautiful tear inducing story.
Doesn't matter whether through what form. Read the book, watched the musical's DVD, and now the movie.
Though, I must say, Hugh Jackman really didn't live up to my expectations seeing how he was of a musical background. I just don't see Jean Valjean in him.
Russell Crowe however, was just FANASTIC! He really portrayed Javert really well!
And of course, Samantha Bark's take on Eponine was just WONDERFUL!
Always did love Eponine's character, and she really did justice to it!!! <3
Can't say the same for Amanda Seyfried though... Don't really like how piercing her high pitch was. It's painful to hear.
And, the raw emotions dripping from Anne Hathaway's I Dreamed A Dream, just WOW!
The Thenadier's were of course, BRILLIANT. Always did love when Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter acted together! Especially since Sweeney Todd. They make such a good pair. Their on screen chemistry is really unlike any other.
Eddie Redmayne, was just AMAZING! I totally loved when he sang acapella. You could just how well his emotions came. AND, the fact that he's so good looking was a total bonus! He really doesn't look 32 y'knw. So freaking good looking it doesn't even make sense.
Oh, and little Cosette, she's really very good for her age. Her voice is just so clear and strong!

Well, so that's about Les Mis. You should catch it if you haven't! Totally worth it! :)

AND, for School 2013.
Caught an episode by chance on KBS World the other day, and I got hooked.
So i went and watched all 10 episodes that has already been realeased so far in 2 days.
Yes, all these just the previous 2 days, when I have a test tomorrow. What am I even thinking right :/
But I just love how raw the emotions in the show come, even if the actors are mainly rookie ones.
The lead, Lee Jong Suk did act in quite a few, though, I didn't watched any of those he did acted in, but this is his first lead character if I'm not wrong. And well, I must say it is indeed pretty good!
And the fact that Daniel Choi is in it is just a bonus. LOL, he's so charming. HAHHAHA.

K, I should get to studying now. So, till next time~

A little cray

So I just completed my freaking stoopz assignmant maybe less than half an hour ago?
Have decided notto sleep and wait for Wenli to get up before meeting her to submit the damn thing!

Hate that the teachers are so mad to put so many submissions together! It's beyond crazy >:(
We've like 6/7 submissions this month alone, not to count the tests and field trips and interviews and presentations. It's all just one mad hell hole this month!

At least February's gonna be better!
Just one other submission left.
Then it's CNY 10-12!
Then it'll be end-sems, and we're done with polytechnic!
HELL, I can't wait!~

Anyway, looked through some of the photos taken in TW... those that daddy took I meant.
I looked beyond terrible. It's depressing how fat I really am!
And so, I really am not gonna be just saying, I'm gonna make it happen!
I'm gonna lose the damn weight! Don't care how, but I will!

2013's arrival

Okay, so well, I know I'm a day late, but then again, I'm really a bit out of it right now.
Spent the first few hours of 2013 unpacking my luggage, changing my sheets and sweeping the bedroom floor halfheartedly.
Went to bed close to 3am with the intention of sleeping till at least 10:30, but kept waking up intermittently in the morning, I just gave up and woke up at 9ish instead.

Been spending the rest of the day trying very unsuccessfully, even till now, to complete the assignment I've to submit by tomorrow morning.
Am ridiculously tired, and my eyes are dry beyond belief, and yet, I've to complete this thing.
I don't have the slightest clue how to do it, and I've been bull shitting my way through whatever I have actually managed to get out.
But I've still another half more to go, and I am just brain dead.

Someone, save me please!

Will update about TW soon as I can! Another submission on Fri, and internal submissions as well.

2013 didn't exactly start of well... Urgh, projects just killed it! 5 submissions this month alone!

But new Year in about 40days, and graduation in about 2 months! CAN'T WAIT!
