Suddenly I remembered this song... haa... well.. when I was on holidaez in Shanghai three months ago, there was a girl with dull syndrome in our tour. She was 14 years old, but she looked as though she was 9 years old. As in her appearance and development as a girl.. :p

Ya.. n of coz with the dull syndrome she was not extremely bright. But.. well.. I say I find her smart. Haa... she always entertain us with her songs and stuff... mimicking William Hung n ya.. she even offered me a seat while on the ferry ride in Shanghai. Once, she gave me a sweet too. Her mum says she likes me. Haha... yeah.. I m loveable. (=^.^=) I still remembered her mum told mi that when she listened to this song "Nobody's Child" she would cry.

Wow... but thaz not all. There was one conversation between her mum n her which struck mi till now. You know what.. haa.. it wets my eyes when I heard the conversation eh... coz her mum was like talkin to mi on the ferry about her.. the girl gave the seat to me n her mum n her were talkin to me.... It goes like this....

Mum: Are you a special child?
Girl: No. I'm not.
MuM: Yes. You are. You have a disease. What disease do you have?
Girl: I have the dull syndrome. (well.. it sorts of surprise mi when her mum asks her this n she replies the dull syndrome.)
Mum: Yes dear. You have the dull syndrome. But are you stupid?
Girl: No. I am not stupid. I am willing to learn.
Mum: Yes. You are willing to learn. You are more willing to learn than other kids dun you?
Girl: Yes. I am willing to learn. (started dancing ard again)

Well.. I think it is sort of inspiring to hear the conversation. Esp when the girl replied I'm willing to learn, I'm realli touched. (luckily we were on the ferry at night, bet nobody saw. LoL~) How many of us have the strength shown by her? We always thought of ourselves as more unfortunate than others. But there are those who are not in as good a condition as us and are tryin hard to lead a good life.

Yeah.. guess I sounds emotional here... haa... Aniwae her mum left mi a namecard (she thought I was workin or sth... ) Haizz... but I dun think I will see this special girl again. N by "special" I mean that I REALLY find her special. Inspiring and admirable...

THE SONG: Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day,
I stopped for just a little while
to watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why,
he turned with eyes
that could not see
and he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flowers I'm growing wild.
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.

No mummy's arms to hold me
or soothe me when I cry,
cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die.
I'll walk the streets of heaven
where all blinds can see.
And just like all other kids
there'd be a home for me.

Journie's teeny weeny messy room.. haa.. well.. kinda looks big in this picture.. (^@^) 

Tired... goin back to sleep later...

Well.. yesterdae... erm..

I overslept for school. Haha.. I was supposed to go to the dental centre at 11.15 n then lessons at 12pm.. but... I slept till 11.30am before a wrong call woke me up~ Gosh... I m still cursing the caller when I realised the time is so late~ In the end, I reached sch at ard 12.20pm for lessons. Haha.. that muz be a record time! Never have I been so fast in gettin myself ready. Anyway, juz to redeem myself a little (in case you guyz start to think that I muz be brainless in getting a single digit for ICM.. er hem.. my History's grade for now is.. to put it humbly.. GOOD... Muahaha... )

After that.. I went to help Journie's in her moving house. Haha... wow... she had like around TEN pieces of luggages... doTzz.. ONE person... TEN luggages.. IMPRESSIVE~ Aniwae... we managed in the end n move all her things from the air-conditioned condo apartment to the small claustrophobic room (an add-on room of the upgraded HDB flat) which Journie promptly says is "about the same size as this taxi" when we are takin one on the wae there... (^.^lll)

Ok.. but I think she will get used to it... after all.. Hong Kong's flats are miserably small too. I told her that the whole surface area of the cab (as in from the front engine to the back storage compartment) can make up the bathroom + kitchen of my old flat in HK island. Maybe exaggerated a little... but I think is at least 1 bathroon + half a kitchen.. dotzzz...

Then we went to Changi Airport. (haha.. n Ya.. Detective Cat saw RebEL with Her Cow at the NTUC... but decided not to disturb them... since.. well the cow would be so displeased to see me right.. LoL~ Always steal his dear rebel from him~) Aniwae.. from then on.. I think I seems a little crazy~ Hahaa... we were like eating n takin photos here n there as though we were some tourists or sth.. but is kinda fun...

Then we went to ECP~ YuP.. n walk a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGG way.. I reckon we walk for about an HOUR~

Ya... suddenly rem the time when it was Wilson's birthdae n we went to camp there. Haa.. if I m not wrong the three of us sat on the rocky cliff n thought of how serene the whole sea is like n how hectic it is juz by turnin ur head n look at all the high rise buildings and bustling sounds of cars behind. Well.. well... maybe should ask the old gang out somedae.. haa~

Guess I m veri wordy for this blog. Haa.. so thaz it~ YawNzz... goin back to sleep... CiaOZ

Ok.. I know ReBeL put it up alreadi.. haa.. but I realli like it.. coz is the onli one with the three of us.. n the view is nice too.. although ReBeL n I looK raThEr misty.. muahaa.. yaya.. not to move after the button is clicked right.. weLL weLL guess OnLi magicA goT it rigHt.. n Ya.. I like it BlUrreD.. thiS is UNIQUE.. :p 

"This is a lantern." said the Rebel. DoTz.. n i juz realize.. therez no CaNdiD shotS of SOMEONE.... GoSh... thatz unfair~  

Haa.. postin up candid shots.. n I dunno wat THAT WOMAN is doin.. well obviousli she looks as though she is watchin a soccer match n the Arses WON.. thaz why she looks work up. Haa~ Ok.. well.. seriousli.. I dunno what she is doin.. I dun even rem what we r laughin about... LOL~ 

Erm.. kinda stress lately... esp by my ICM.. arghh... haiZ... that dae in ICM tutorial.. nobody prepared his work... n he was lookin for someone who had done sth... since we were supposed to look up an article n this happened...

Tutor: Anyone bring the articles you are supposed to find on the net?
***silence***
Tutor: (Still with his usual cheeky grin... although u can see the flames burnin behind that smile) Nobody did anithing?.... (he looks ard n look aT MEEEEEE~) How about Kai ChenG? (GosH.. he called My chInese NamE.. n he REMEMBERS?!!!.. mind you.. he called me alot of times alreadi~)
Me: Er... I dun have an article....
Tutor: (Lookin at me with a smile that I SWEAR it makes him look as though he wanna cry) AnD wHy? Is YouR servEr dOwN?
Me: (quite guilty n of coz not dumb enough to say my server is down.. doTz) Er... I didn't search...

OK... this is how bad my tutorial can go~ Well.. well... m i noticeable or what... n coupled with my recent anticipated new accomplishment of a single digit test result.. this is as good as it gets right... Hahaaa

Haizz.. I am so tired. Got back my History test todae n.. well... sort of gauge what I will get for my Info Com Managment papers after the lecturer gone thru it... therez onli one word to describe the situation: BLEAK~ Haha.. but well..

A SONG I LEARNT WHEN I WAS YOUNG....

On a wagon bound for market,
there's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above it, there's a swallow
winging swiftly through the sky.

How the winds are laughing..
they laugh with all their might...
Laugh and laugh the whole dae through
n half the summer's night..

"Stop complaining!" said the farmer.
"Who told you a calf to be?"
"WHY DON'T YOU HAVE WINGS TO FLY WITH?
LIKE THE SWALLOW SO PROUD AND FREE?"

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered...
Never knowing the reason why....
But whoever treasures freedom...
Like the swallow has learned to fly.

Haha.. my Dad taught me when I was young too. First one I learnt was "Leaving on a Jet Plane" n then this. Well... find it meaningful~

Laaaa~

Back HOME~ HEE~

Have my ICM tutorial juz now. I was on time~ Well.. although the tutor's face was veri grim... erm... looks like not many people do well for the test? Hoho.... I m supposed to be happy about that right.... means I m not the one to be ostracized~ HAIZZZZZ

N proves it.. the tutor rem my name n keep on callin me todae... erm... maybe I did extremely badly or maybe is juz becoz I was kinda ACTIVE for previous tutorials? Wateva.... didn't prepare todae... was busy with the "FREQUENCY of CHINESE ProNunCiatioN" if you dun mind...... so I "never fail to disappoint" my tutor again.. woohOO~ Haiz.. actualli can't believe I did it again... (^.^lll)

Arghh... I think I m bugged.... some gluttonian bugs have hitched on me from SOMEONE. I have had mixed veggie rice n TAKO BALLS for lunch. N the tako balls are like rubber balls...??!!! YucKs.... I think they can bounce on the floor.... BurP~ sO fuLL though~ ***contented***

ANiwae... juz now someone from my tutorial was talkin to me about Psychology and the "Repressions in Dreams". Kinda IntErestIng...

I was told that whenever you dream of yourself falling, taking a train or aeroplane, walking the stairs or taking a lift... it is a sign.... that you are havin SeXuaL dEsIre.... HuH hUH

I started dreamin I was fallin when I was ard 4 yrs old... ER~~~~ MAD~ Repressions maybe. Sexual Desire? So OFF~

So on my wae back frm sch saw a kid who urinated on his shorts n his Dad was like standing there shell-shocked... HEE~ Reminds me of the pic I posted yesterdae....

BLOGGING at weird hours again....

Read Rebel's blog.... about the part of growing up... haha.. well.. ya.. guess thaz so right... there will come a time when we start to realise life is not juz about sunshine and flowers...

I still rem when I was younger, I used to think that people don't die. You know.. as in people you love and yourself will live forever and ever... Haha... then as you grow up, you realise that it is juz something that you can nv avoid. Someone says before: AS YOU GROW UP, YOU SEE MORE AND MORE DEATHS AROUND YOU. And then you will begin to realise how scary it all seems to be... LIFE~

I still rem when my grandpa pass away, his three elder sisters gathered with my grandma... they were havin a conversation when the eldest sister of my grandpa said,"Now is realli about que-ing up and see whoz goin first...." Can you imagine there comes a time when you start to think about that? When ur frenz start to GO...er... better dun thinK~

Anyway..... my grandpa's eldest sis had passed away last year.

Who would wan to grow up? Juz like you thought you would like to watch CARTOONS forever when you were young and then gradualli stopped watching it without realising it.... I used to wonder how is it possible for adults to live without watching the TV... n now.. I m one of them.. to think that I used to be able to recite all the tv programmes lining up for the whole week... (^.^lll)

Erm.. I think it is realli about time to think about getting independent and stuff... thaz why I m lookin for a tuition job... kinda wan to pay for part of my own spending as well...

Anywae.. my mum n dad are goin to HK nez month for two weeks... HOME ALONE for me~ Haha... take it as a step of growing up? Haha.. well juz hope that the roaches dun visit me during those weeks... :p

I have a verse too.... Find it meaningful.. but dun realli know how true can it get...

When you are born, you are crying while everyone is smiling.
When you die, you are smiling while everyone is crying.

Like not realli related.. but well.... I think most we can achieve in life is this....

Want some? Muahaha~ SO CUTE~~~~ ???~~~  

Cute Chinchilla... well... belongs to JINGLIN.. er.... can't believe he own this~ What a pity... haha... he sends me this lor... n I m bored.. thaz why post it.. LoL~

Ok.. it is 1.14am now as I am typing this. So this will be the first post I have on Sundae. Well... hopefulli is the onli one I post too for Sundae...

Haiz... I realli need a lot of time for my Chinese considering that I seldom pay attention during her incessant chanting. To be fair, it's not realli that boring BUT I kinda go into a trance everytime she keeps on goin n goin....

I can't believe I m now studying the throat and lungs for my CHINESE paper.. ya.... u heard me right... I am supposed to study how a certain chinese note is pronounced using a particular part of the THROAT and MOUTH... arghhh.. n I juz can't keep that in my brain~ N the tenses too... gosh.. I nv know Chinese had so MUCH tenses..... (^.^lll)

Anyway, I juz caught a glimpse of the epl matches... the Arses won 1-0.. (yuckS).. Luckily Man U won too.. they won spurs who was still unbeaten until juz now...

Haizz.. dunno why I am stating the results here.. haha.. coz I know mani ppl will not be interested in that... well.. what to do... nothing eventful happen... unless u wanna hear about what I've covered for the dae... LoL~

Anyway.. I m now goin into the various dialects in China now... n frequency of sounds for the Chinese characters... er..... WHAT THE....~ I would rather be tested on two essay writings for Chinese than study THIS.... GOSH~~~

Okie... enough.... so howz everyone doin? Can I hear about ur daily life on ur blog? Juz entertain me on ur blog ba~~~ JOURNIE... esp YOU~ Wat r u up to~~~

YaWnz... now is about SLEEP and STUDY tmr.. er.. I mean LATER...
