this post is dedicated to all noobies (including me)... =))
(shuning said this is good blogging material and at the same time, i can clear up some questions marks that had been lingering eversince)
***
R.S.V.P
i'm sure everyone has seen this abbreviation at least once, regardless in emails or texts.
but do you know what it means??
well...i sure didn't. until this "R.S.V.P" keeps appearing so many times in my emails that it was starting to bug me.
so off i went to search it in the ever-so-trusty google!! =DD
see what i found!!
***
(taken from http://entertaining.about.com/cs/etiquette/qt/tip122500.htm)
What RSVP Means
The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
***
so TADAH~~!!!
here you have it. it simply means "please respond".
ok...(takes a deep breath)
so if RSVP means "please respond" then why not just put "please respond" when the sender requires somebody to reply???
i put "pls reply" in my texts though it doesn't mean that my sendees will reply. (calling out to tanahtan, you know who you are.)
so if the 2 simple words ===> "please reply" is NOT going to get people to respond then what makes you (whoever started the RSVP thing) think that by putting in RSVP will ensure you a quick response?? doesn't make sense to me.
because afterall, i'm one of those who doesn't understand what RSVP was in the first place. no replies guaranteed for RSVP.
i'm a dictator of simplicity so "please reply/respond" will do fine for me. thank you very much~

at last i managed to do my health-checkup. have to do it so that my visa application can be processed.
***
i was super suay. reached the place only to realise i forgot to bring my passport along. so smart right??!!
luckily my dad had an afternoon appointment with his doctor at mt. eliz so he brought forward his appointment and sent over my passport for me. =DD phew~
***
first stop was at Cairnhill place for Xray examination.
gosh...the waiting time was relatively short, though the examination was even shorter. =.=
the thing that i still couldn't get over was the fact that the changing room is right beside the waiting area!!!
(thank you lor... =.=)
as if that is not bad enough, the Xray-robe that the examiner gave me was white and translucent. =.=
it must have been washed, cleaned, bleached and sterilised so much so that the cloth was thinning and nearly translucent.
the lady expects me to change into that with ZERO undergarments beneath it and walk past the waiting area into the Xray room, parading my semi-naked body (not a pretty sight) which was under a what-seems-like-a-nearly-translucent piece of rag. (woah~ sure man. =.=)
found a thicker piece of (another) blue rag. (at least it's thicker and non-translucent) so i wore that as well.
(i had thicker wear when i had my day surgery at TanTockSeng lor.)
went into the Xray room and the lady started grumbling that i wasn't listening to her instructions.
***
(WAIT!! HOLD IT~ PAUSE*beep*)
i offered to remove the blue robe, didn't i??!!
at least i would feel more comfortable being semi-naked in an enclosed area, with NO people around (other than me and that dumbdumb lady).
well...she said that i don't have to remove then she started preaching me about how the thickness of the robes is going to affect the Xray scan.
DAMMIT LAR!!!
i said i'll remove the blue robe right??!! then she was the one who said just leave it on. (sucker~)
***
wth..
eventually the Xray scan was done and i proceed to Paragon for my healthcheck, which is inclusive of a urine test, measuring the height+weight (sianz~), doing an eyetest (yipee~ perfect eyesight. haa.), taking my blood pressure and lastly checking my heartbeat.
***
good thing i drank loads of water in the morning, so the pee i had was presentable. LOL.
good thing it didn't look anything like chrysanthemum tea or even worse, lemon tea. haha.

my work ends today(officially).
sad to be leaving because everybody has been so great. =))
i think all people are kind to temps(even mx agrees). lol~
i thank my boss for the lunch today and it really has been great working with everybody.
will miss all of ya even though i had been there only been there for one month.
(no pictures...i'm camera-shy) >.<
***
p.s(for those who wants to use my pictures in the previous post, please at least credit them back to my blog. thanks~ XD)

with regards to shuning's post about God's intentional ways of directing us onto the right paths, i had my doubts at first then i thought He has helped me made the right decision.
afraid as i may be, i am glad i'm pursuing the course that i had been longing for.
it was only human to cry when upset and laugh when happy. i was rejected during that time so it was only natural to cry. now that i'm looking back at the past...(ask if i have any regrets?)
well...i say, "NEVER!!"
if there are any regrets, it will be 5years later from this day, that when i graduate, some school will be weeping over the fact that they had lost a potential(+excellent) architect-to-be.
to all those who did not make it into your initial school of choice, let this be your motivation to work (not just hard but...) harder.
my aunt said it was a blessing in disguise.
initially i fail to see why. i was unable to study the course that i want in a local school and that i'll have to leave home, my family and my friends. i thank all who has given me such great support and my family for giving me the financial support(without them, this will never be possible).

i shall now reveal my portfolio!!!

Introduction: Butterfly drawn onto a black and white grid paper.
Explanation:
The aim of this sketch is that i strongly believe that for every structure and being, it is built upon a skeletal form. Akin to the architectures, a solid foundation is required for a lasting structure. Hence, this is represented by the black grids of the butterfly. The contours of the butterfly is drawn on the blacks squares using chalk, it is like the X-ray film that penetrates deep into the basis of which the butterfly is constructed upon.
The coloured parts on the white squares which are the completed butterfly structure, together with the colours on the wings and vivid body shape, are representative of the eventual completed structure of a building.
I chose to draw a butterfly due to its display of beauty through the wings and the vibrancy of its colours, which I believe is very important when it comes to building of structures. It will have to be appealing to the eye.
***
i took a picture of this and i was wondering what i could do to it and i turned what looks like this to...
...THIS~
Project Clothes Peg
Introduction: A black and white photo of randomly arranged clothes pegs is pasted in the center of a paper and the rest of the clothes pegs, which are outside of the photo, are hand-drawn onto the paper.
Explanation:
In this piece of artwork, I would like to once again portray the fundamentals of all things. The centralization of the photo represents that all things evolve from a single point. However, the focal point of the picture is evenly distributed. Each clothes peg has equal importance. This applies to everything that we do, each detail is as important as any others and missing out one small detail may seem insignificant to one's eye but may lead to a different picture.
The randomly arranged clothes pegs means that for every deformation and disorganization contributes to creativity as this arises to something different.
In addition, I would like to show that creativity should not be limited within the photo itself but expanded beyond the picture. Thus I have hand-drawn the rest of the clothes pegs which are outside of the photo---imagination outside the box.
***
i needed a third project but my brain juices were all squished dry. so i drew this... O.o
not very please with myself but still acceptable.
Project Flower
Introduction: Sketch of a longitudinal section of a flower.
Explanation:
With regards to the photos of the flowers I have taken, I would like to show the basic structure of the flower through my sketch as seen above. It is unlike the usual flower that we see because other than the flamboyancy of the petals, we also see the inside of the flower. Beneath the petals, there is the complexity which has been masked by the overlook of the flower. This further enhances my point on the importance of foundation. The seeds which produce this yield may seem insignificant but will eventually determine the quality of the product. I believe that this also true when it comes to architectures, the foundation will have to be sturdy.
Also, there are several buildings which derives its structure and appearance from nature. One of which is the esplanade in Singapore has the appearance of a durian---a tropical fruit. The Crowne Plaza Hotel, which had just been completed in 2008, has a white petal-like designed metal piece draped over the building itself.

i'm back into the working society(temporarily).
a 1 month assignment with a French company, operating near the airport.
***
pay?
$5.50 per hour.
***
(why i accept the offer?)
definitely not because my agent was named Stanley(nice but not cute). LOL.
rather, it was because there's FREE transport back and forth. plus, it's only a ONE MONTH bond. so it's not going to affect any part of my "belated-sec-sch-overseas-outing" plan.
so at least now i'll have money to spend when i go genting and i don't have to go scurrying for my own piggy bank. HURRAHS~!! (well...i guess not. still sulking over the $5.50)
***
i suppose when i signed the agreement, my agent must have been smirking behind my back and thought to himself, "Sucker~!"

continuing from where i left off the other day(cleaning ONLY one shelf)...
spent the entire day cleaning up my room, when i say cleaning, i really meant cleaning. i drowned the floor in bleach(diluted), wiped my windows, pulled out my bed and scrubbed the walls, and clean out my table!!
MUAHAHA~~!!!
(i do clean my room every other day la. just that the mess on the table doesn't really bothers me, i just sweep and mop the floor.)
Gone are the messiness, dust, cobwebs and (the following is dedicated to ahtan and jiaxian...) the "anyhow-grab-also-got-pen" days. XDDD
love my room even more, now that it smells of a terrific bleach+dettol blend. =)))

so much talk about chemicals found in food nowadays.
first, there was the melamine in China's milk powder. now, there's the talk abt Bishphenol A (BPA) existing in milk bottles and plastic bottles. the news said that milk bottles should be changed every 4-6months and a consumer added that if possible, parents should buy those that are BPA-free or glass milk bottles(totally free of any chemicals).
***
we all know what melamine can do to our bodies. that it will cause our urine to crystalise in our kidneys resulting in kidney stones. however, should melamine be consumed(in minute amounts, please DO NOT freak), you can simply gulp down water(as much as you can drink) to wash out the melamine in our kidneys.
(hey~no harm done then. =DD)
p.s(however, drinking too much water might result in water-poisoning) =.=
***
what about BPA then?
what can BPA do to our bodies?
well...the trusty google tells it all!! XD
(taken from the following website http://www.cspinet.org/nah/bpa.html)
The scientific evidence that supports a conclusion of some concern for exposures in fetuses, infants, and children comes from a number of laboratory animal studies reporting that “low” level exposure to bisphenol A during development can cause changes in behavior and the brain, prostate gland, mammary gland, and the age at which females attain puberty. These studies only provide limited evidence for adverse effects on development and more research is needed to better understand their implications for human health. However, because these effects in animals occur at bisphenol A exposure levels similar to those experienced by humans, the possibility that bisphenol A may alter human development cannot be dismissed.
In laboratory animals, exposure to very high levels of bisphenol A during pregnancy can cause fetal death and reduced birth weight and growth during infancy. These studies provide clear evidence for adverse effects on development, but occur at exposure levels far in excess of those experienced by humans. Two recent human studies have not associated bisphenol A exposure in pregnant women with decreased birth weight or several other measures of birth outcome. Results from several animal studies provide evidence that bisphenol A does not cause birth defects such as cleft palette, skeletal malformations, or grossly abnormal organs.

hello??!!
can't somebody discover this 19years earlier??
i asked my mum and she said she hardly changes our milk bottles. (bad news~) =.=
and then i asked her further, how frequent was our(my brother and I) milk bottles changed? and she said that at least it is not what the news suggested(4-6months). (bad bad news~) -_-lll
***
tadah!!!
but i'm still alive & kicking. =)) *beams*

blogging from my new notebook. yay~~
***
after long months of deciding between the various brands of PCs. we eventually settled for HP Pavilion.
model: dv5_1036tx
***
erm...i suppose it's a relatively good deal because for starters, the original price was $2599 and we managed to get it at $2430 with free upgrade (from a 3GB to) to a 4GB ram, plus free carry case and optical mouse and microsoft home student edition. (so i suppose it's good right??)
***
the graphic card also very power so that means i can play those RPG games on my notebook(not as if i do play). but but...the MOST important thing is that it comes with a teevee antenna so i can get to watch teevee in my own room when i stay in hostel in the future. no need to go to the common teevee room and squeeze with everybody else for teevee!!! (plusplus point~)

ok...(being most unconvinced)...i went to google for Gilbert Tay archi firm again.
so the results were...(drumroll)
...that Gilbert Tay Architecture Firm don't exist??
check this out. http://www.gilbertarchitects.com/
it's not Gilbert Tay but just Gilbert. the base is not in HongKong but in Lancaster. the guy who founded the association was never Gilbert Tay but Thomas W. Gilbert. the firm has achieved several awards and their speciality is at designing school campuses. (FACT!!)
so eventually the case is solved for Mr.G. it's a case of mistaken identity.
but my final question is...so who is Mr. Gilbert Tay?? (polls are still open =D)

met sihui today on my way home(while i was on the train).
my trip home from bukit batok has never been shorter. =DD
(fyi: sihui is from ahs!! keli's fren, in all saints' de.)
saw her by coincidence. she was with 2 other frens.
she was as frenly as ever and so were her frens.
***
(well cut short the formalities...)
***
the point was...have you ever tried being lied from clementi all the way to paya lebar. O.o
hello!!?? i knew i am very easily taken in by other's words but i never knew i was THIS gullible...
when shihui asked where i was studying at, i told her i was going overseas to do archi.
then she said, "Do you know Gilbert Tay Architecture Firm?? Most famous in Singapore!"
(her fren was like nodding to her every word and misleading me along)
i told her i didn't know.
(their eyes widened and exclaimed, "YOU DON'T KNOW??!!")
the way they said it made me feel so sinful that i didn't know the most famous archi firm in Singapore, still say their base in HongKong. O.o
but not wanting to feel dumb, i said, "I thought WOHA(archi firm) is the best in Singapore??"
eventually we dropped the issue and her fren started saying she was my pri sch fren. then i was like SERIOUS??!! and we continued talking like lost-long frens. sihui and her fren made everything so convincing can??!!
(fyi: WOHA is indeed a very good archi firm in Singapore, has numerous achievements and at least it does exist.)
then her fren was like going on and on about how sad she was that i don't recognise her. and sihui start making faces and rolling eyes then she said, "gullible is NOT in the dictionary." i didn't catch her hints and continued with the pri-sch-fren-mini-reunion thing.
eventually when her fren alighted at paya lebar, sihui would have grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me if it hadn't been for the laptop in her arms. she later told me that all was a fake!!!
(for those who are so keen on knowing who's Gilbert Tay, he's actually their lecturer.) =.=
omg i had been cheated from clementi to paya lebar. T_T
but the whole point was...how am i gonna survive without being cheated if i were to go aussie??? sihui sounded super convincing.
but but the moral of the story is...i must always be honest.
(luckily, i never giay khiang(act smart) and say , "OHH~~the Gilbert Tay archi firm ah! i know." cos it was a major scam) =.=
