compliments.

ehh haha just noticed the date so happy TWENTIETH birthday small korkor! =D ok so anyway! in order to get my life in order me came up with a ToDo list! so i'd know what to mug everyday.. actually it's more like to force myself to mug certain stuff. coz i know if i were to just choose what to mug everyday depending on my mood i'd end up mugging all my favourite stuff then i'd totally neglect stuff like quantum chem and physics =p must show off my todo list.. heh it looks quite intimidating =D it was originally longer lorh but it couldn't fit on my desktop so i had to finish doing some stuff first so i can cancel it off =p now i'd get a sense of satisfaction watching my list shrink as my exams come closer.. haha yay =D

haha gosh realised it is actually quite long =p so yupp about one week plus more to my papers i think it shouldn't be a problem i hope? usually clear about 4-5 off the list each day.. somehow i realised that chemists like mugging at the UG haha. as in every night the people there are all mostly chemists =p then when they ask each other questions and you realise you know how to do then you can feel good about urself =D mugging with other people does help actually. saves you alot of time.. haha like when you forget a formula you can just say out loud "torque equals I theta double dot right?" then someone (hong en in this case) will reply "yah" =p hahah saves you the trouble of going to search thru your notes or smth =p kinda enjoy mugging at night up there yeah.. just that tonight someone went to cambridge so no one for me to bug about chem liao =p but on the other hand.. without that someone around maybe tt's less of a distraction (no one to challenge me double digit multiplication =p) and i can finish more =D

haha anyway i've got smth else to talk about actually. my blog entry title.. smth totally random. i was watching 东方茱丽叶 the other day (haha yes i know i'm spposed to be mugging but it's ok to take a break mah right =p) then yeah i realised that girls or at least some girls are rather easily pleased actually. haha the scene was like the male lead just made a comment and told the girl that she's very feminine and then that whole night the girl couldn't sleep.. haha it sounds really silly lah. but i guess i can understand how she feels (not that i get to experience it often.. sadly =p). but really lorh i found myself grinning along with her after she ran away to hide from the guy.. haha maybe i just wish that such stuff would happen to me =p

hmm. i think it's all just about insecurity isn't it? or maybe like self-esteem. like if the girl already knows that she's very pretty then some guy comes along and tells her that then the effect isn't very great isn't it? haha applies to me also lah. like i was telling some other people quite awhile back (ok i really dun mean to sound ego or anything yah) but i dun deny the fact that i may be slighty above the average person with respect to intelligence.. so yah if you come and tell me i'm smart it wouldn't make much of an impact on me.. on the other hand if you happen to mention that i look good today or smth like that then the effect will be very very different haha.

guys should learn to compliment more. really. it shows that they notice and yah that can make a girl very very happy haha. obviously if you do it every single day then it'll lose its effect lah. (gosh i sound like i'm teaching guys how to please a girl =p) but uhhuh it's like since i came here i got complimented like twice and both times it really made my day.. haha ok fine yes i know astee is quite sad but aiyah what to do =p ohh this reminds me of smth someone back in RJ said.. quite common theory. that beauty x brains = constant =p so anyway! i think right that it's just a singaporean thing. or maybe it's the fact that you know each other hence you dun see the need to tell the other party that he/she looks good. it's like i remember when i went to taiwan for IChO.. then during the formal dinner the thais and a lot of the people from countries all over the world didn't hesitate to say "wow you girls look good today".. haha singaporean guys should learn to do that! but i guess if you do it then people will just end up thinking you're buaya =p

anyway at least i do compliment people k! haha somehow i dun hesitate to tell someone that he looks nice. do you all remember during the easter trip i was looking thru the photos i took then i'd randomly go "eh you guys all look damn good in this photo lah" i really meant it lorh. haha and all those random "你今天很帅" i really meant it =p do you remember that night after we were walking back from hare and tortoise.. then darius asked that question. hahah i can answer it now. in fact i could have answered it then yah haha but you guys kept making a lot of noise =p heh honestly speaking i think you three (in fact almost all the guys in linstead) are very photogenic and look good but in very very different ways.. i dunno how to explain lah. some of you look 帅 some 可爱 some just look very very happy haha but i think uh the main thing is just to smile more. haha i so agree with darius that a smile can really capture someone's heart.. sometimes i just see someone smile only i can get totally captivated lah =p and eh i compliment so many other guys you dun get jealous k! haha it applies to you too.. kp's photo was really nice =)

ok i dunno why but that was just so totally random. hahah i think it's just some small part of astee that's dying to hear good stuff about herself =p people need ego boosts once in awhile one mahh. that's why i must personally say thank you to tingjun here =D really. hahah you're one of the few people i know around me who kinda openly show their appreciation for someone.. and i appreciate you for that! be it the brocolli or the online sains shopping or paying for your pizzas hahah it's always nice to know that someone notices what you're doing.. motivates me to carry on being a nice person yah? haha so yupp to TJ i haven't really done much for you guys actually but thanks anyway.. it's always nice to know you're being appreciated =)

alright.. kengseng's porridge is ready liao i think it's about time i go and eat.. on a side note a friend of many of my friends just passed away yah. it's quite sad though i totally didn't know him at all. i thought i had a vague impression of who he was but when i saw the photo on STI i realised that i really have no idea who he is.. mhmm feel so sorry for all those close to him. and yah like i was telling weiming it's quite freaky when people around your age start disappearing from this world. life is so so unpredictable lah. he had DVT (economy class syndrome) so to everyone out there take care of yourself okie? especially people like us who depend alot on our laptops.. don't sit there for ages without moving. even when you're mugging also at least get up and move around once in awhile uhhuh. i really really dun wanna lose a friend lah -touch wood- alright alright better not keep ks and d waiting.. see the rest of you all back home sooon =)
