What's this.. SHane trying to talk about life?..
Nope..i Just hope to talk about certain aspects of life and share them with u..

EMBARRASSMENT

What sparked me: I made myself a laughing stock in front of lame volunteers by tapping my card on a chartered SBS shuttle bus and i didnt realise it till a few seconds later..

How i felt: Embarrassed la.. but after awhile it sparked various thoughts in me

It sparked this thought.. and so people.. what do u do when u get embarrassed.. what would u do... As for me, in this case, I kept quiet and did not say anything.. though it was obvious a few nerds were making fun of me..in front of me.. but when i stared at him.. he kept quiet..
I started thinking.. the best thing to do was to just let this be a lesson.. It probably showed that i was really tired and dreamy.. and that i shud really take care of myself more i guess.. who in the right mind would tap his card on a chartered bus.. If i had been more pissed .. I may have whacked him.. but that would have made me the villain..
Embarrassment tells us various things.. U can laugh at urself.. but use it as a lesson.. It may just be something worth remembering..
What do u think.. what would you do..

PRESSURE

What sparked me : Exam period

How i felt and still feel : Pressure is necessary.. but i hate it.. who likes it..

IT's the exams.. and that's why i didnt want to blog.. But as many of my beloved closed peeps are mugging.. while some have finished.. There are certain things i would like to talk about..
How do i deal with my studies now.. i tell myself to work harder..and i really do try to study.. but i dont burn the midnight oil .. in fact i get lotsa sleep.. but im still a long way to go from achieving that successful results mugging technique thingy.. I get worried when i see some frens feeling lost and in a pinch... Please.. believe in urselves alright.. and do get plenty of sleep.. don't end up like me..getting sick of all times..

All of a sudden.. my mind goes blank.. so... Good night people.. and take care..

Why have i decided to post..amidst these hectic days.. How have i found the mood to blog?
Well..today.. i went to Natsu Matsuri at Clementi, some japanese school to help out to clean up the place.. I'm glad i was there.. even though i just could not click with any of the other volunteers there..

Whatever i say..might make some of you angry..but as any parent would say..it's for your own good..

I should change my style of blogging .. here it goes.. my experience..

Current mood : Vexed
Current song : None .. just honey and clover episode 12 playing on VLC

August 26th Saturday

It was a day with various bloopers and amazing experiences..
Instead of showing my invitation card..i took out a brochure..and the dude blurly let me in..
The festival was amazing.. tons of japanese girls in their yukatas (those things that look like kimonos but just aint) mesmerized my youthful inner-self.. There were hordes of japanese kids in their yukatas.. and swarms of japanese boys and guys who just ..have an amazing dress sense..
The singaporeans, including me.. who were wandering aimlessly.. were simply owned by them..
I swear..i've never seen a scene that could please me more.. I wont say that i felt that i could fit in.. but it felt.. beautiful..
The japanese danced and had fun.. without any worries.. Even within our heartlands.. It felt like a mini-Japan..
After the festival ended, the volunteers cleared up the place..
And all the beauties went home..

This festivaL sparked me a little.. I was able to compare japanese with singaporeans..
It made me a little ashamed and depressed..
1) A little japanese girl stepped on Aloy's foot, She looked up and apologised with that priceless smile.. and now that u think.. how many singaporean kids step on u,then stare at u and run away as if it was ur fault..
2) The queues were orderly.. SingaporeanS? Rush and push as if that's the last item there..
3) Why do japanese girls seem so pretty and attractive to me.. yet one such girl among the locals is rare.. I'm not saying there's none.. im just saying one local girl who can present herself in such a pleasant manner..is just rare..
4) One side i see yukata and cute girls, one side the sg volunteer girls are just saying lame things or acting as if i owe them some great favour or smth.. just crappy..

(At this stage, many of u would want to close this..especially if u're a girl and feel offended.. maybe.. but continue reading )

No more comparisons now, now u know why i'm obssessed with japanese culture.. I'm glad i am too.. maybe i shud just find a japanese girl or smth.. haiz.. Nevertheless, It was a great festival, i would like to bring my frens there if it comes again.. And yep.. i will try to put up that few blur photos that i took.. another day..

Alright..i find some discipline to post what i wanted to post for the last week..

First of all let me dedicate this post to my mother,Aunt and my nephew.... Now

Part 1: My mom and her new Iron..
Story: My mom saves a lot ..and she's been really quiet lately.. Then all of a sudden..She pops up with some huge surprise


Me: What the )!@%()@!*$!
Mom: SEE! ur jeans so StraightttTTtt...
Me: And how much is that thing...
Mom: 500 ..
(at this moment my bro walks in..and im still in awe)
Mom: Shaun see ...The clothes soooo straight...
And my mom is still beaming with that smile.. And gradually..it made me laugh and smile.. feeling that strange pinch of happiness within..
Why is that so..cause my mom apparently loves her 500 bucks iron that comes with a free 100+ bucks ironboard..


Part 2: Lunch on National Day at Shangri-La to celebrate Tua Yee's Bday
Now that title is long.. O.O ... Anyway..yep..
It's always nice to have a meal with my family..and my beloved Tua yee in this case..
Story: It's her bday..it's national day..and we had a good meal.. Christian Lee was there too.. let me introduce them to u..

Christian Lee Wei Yi.. striking a pose? ..no la..just looking blur ba

A small cake..That tasted like heaven.. A grandma and her grandson..a view like heaven

My dessert ..4 different creamy things in different Gongs..a.k.a containers..

Now.. I would like to share these with u..cause i hadnt felt such happiness in a long time..
It was not about just eating fantastic food..but to eat it with those who have cared for me since young.. and to see them smile like that.. I couldnt help but feel happy..

So people.. Be Happy alright.. Join me... Just keep smiling..

Randomania: Was wondering about the word Couple... So i came up with this Cultivating Our Undying Peaceful Love Everyday.. Makes Sense?.. hmm

Well i got a little lazy lately..nothing much to talk about anyway...
I doubt u peeps would want to see me cursing and swearing about the exams or school..
but hey..let's talk abt something really interesting..

The only thing worth talking abt today would be ..SLEEP.. awakened from a call this afternoon..i woke up realising it was 1pm.. then it occurred to my semi-conscious self that i had slept for 11 hours.. probably the most this entire semester..

Now.. SLEEP.. is considered by me.. to be one of the most important things in life.. taking up 1/3 of our lives.. (maybe more for me LOL) .. Dr Shane Sng.. PhD in Biomolecular Sciences(HAH)..shall touch about the importance of ZzzIng..

Although scientists are still trying to learn exactly why people need sleep, animal studies show that sleep is necessary for survival.Some studies suggest that sleep deprivation affects the immune system in detrimental ways.Sleep appears necessary for our nervous systems to work properly.

Too little sleep leaves us drowsy and unable to concentrate the next day. It also leads to impaired memory and physical performance and reduced ability to carry out math calculations.
Deep sleep coincides with the release of growth hormone in children and young adults. Many of the body's cells also show increased production and reduced breakdown of proteins during deep sleep.

Since proteins are the building blocks needed for cell growth and for repair of damage from factors like stress and ultraviolet rays, deep sleep may truly be "beauty sleep."Activity in parts of the brain that control emotions, decision-making processes, and social interactions is drastically reduced during deep sleep, suggesting that this type of sleep may help people maintain optimal emotional and social functioning while they are awake

I DIDNT copy and paste that..i really didnt..
So now ..this message goes out to my dear friends..especially my dearest Ziting n Sandy..and those guilty of sleeping late.. SLEEP more..it's important.. and it realllyyyy helps u to perform better.. so dont say i nag ar..it's for ur own G**D ..

signing off...ijouu!
