It's NOT that I don't like STUDYING.. -study revelation-

Yes, this is my third -exam-related-studying post, where you get tips about studying and my revelation about exams... I have a paper later at 230PM but as you can see, I can't keep my hands off the PC or blogging.

I just tell myself that if I wasn't blogging, I'd be watching tv (which IS true...)

You see, the problem lies in the fact that...

It's not that I don't like studying, but It's just I wish I was studying something different...

...like say, SHOPPING1101 or MEN1101?

OK... back to the books...

Hell, yeah, it does.....

9irls: TOXIC when EMOTIONAL

Yes 9irls absolutely have the right to be emotional. Call them manipulative, vindictive, whatever. They just are and that's how evolution made them to be.

They seem to be able to on demand, burst out into tears, like a wet spring in the middle of a desert, cry heaps and yet never ever seem to run out of tears. They have every right to do that, since crying is cathartic - absolutely.

Exams are an irritating period. We mug, and telly and blogging seem all the more attractive... anything to distract us from our books. Yes, burn them!

The sky looses its colour, we see the world through grey coloured lenses... is it just me.. or does the exam do this to people?

I'm toxic when I tear, it's like hydrochloric gas. And my female God given ability to spontaneously burst out into tears over any and every thing, is my greatest (dis)ability now.

Call me crazy, but crying has never felt too good. And I'm claiming my right to boohoo now... Or maybe I'll try screaming into a pillow for a change... (my viet neighbour constantly knocks on my door to tell me to tone down my hifi... I guess these nights she might just visit more...)

Diary of an NUS 9eek 9oddess

I've come to learn that there are certain secrets to passing NUS exams. I have the right to say this because this is my freaking 5th year in school! I have learnt that there are a few must haves.. They aren't guarantees to pass exams, but they highly increase your chances of success.

Find out here!!!

1) COFFEE -- to help you keep those droopy eyelids open. Best if you down so much that your fingers start to jitter. Don't ever drink decaf - defeats the purpose.

2) Postits -- helps you take notes and remind you of small points you need to remember. Yu can try sneaking them into the exams hall but I wouldn't advice that. Not worth it.

3) Laptop -- you need to study from a laptop, so you can blog and bitch when ur bored. Yes laptops can be a distraction but all work and no play makes Jack a dull and freaking NERDY boy..

4) Scared shit look -- yes believe it or not, you need it. If you're not worrying about exams, you either are damn well prepared or you can't be bothered anymore. The former really just doesnt apply to the majority of us, so put on that SCARED SHIT LOOK and start mugging and burning the midnight oil while you can...

Incidentally I think the SCARED SHIT LOOK motivates you to study harder... makes u feed on adrenaline...

Oh well, but what do I know... *sigh*

Students having EXAMS - Take the STRESS TEST

Students undergoing exams stress? Take a break and take this stress test. Studies have shown that stress diminishes the amount of work that can be done at any given time.

Take this stress test to find out if you should, you know - give yourself a break and get a kit kat.. :)

The Stress-Test consists of viewing a photo of 2 Dolphins...

• The dolphins appear to be nearly identical when viewed by stress-free individuals. The test is not sufficiently accurate to detect mild stress differentials, but is very accurate on individuals with higher stress-levels.


• Deviations in appearance between the 2 dolphins are indicators of potential stress-related problems and the deviations, if any, may also indicate the source of stress.


• If you experience significant deviations, you may want to consider taking things a little easier...

Nuffnang's Boss Stewie visits the red DOT! (pics)

Boss Stewie from Nuffnang KL office visited Singapore on Thursday and I got the honour of meeting him Friday for lunch with Nicole and Boss Ming. You know how Boss Stewie looks like?? haha this is how...


And can you guess the first thing I said to him when I saw him? haha.. read on...

But seriously, I have been following his blog for a considerable amount of time already and all I see him doing all the time is.. yes smiling. All this shots of him on his blog are of him grinning and flashing his pearly whites. But seriously.. the million dollar question is...

"NO but seriously, does Timothy Tiah ever stop SMILING??"

Thursday was no different. He truly is DARLIE"S newest poster boy...

The moment I met him I said, "Oh my God, you're exactly like what you are on your blog. You can't stop smiling!"

Guess his response :"... *huge smile*"...

OK, so we went to like Ming's favourite restaurant to have like a whole ton of food, yummy man I tell you. But the ma la soup is too hot for me still, really it was literally bubbling red.. I don't know how anyone can stomach that.. it's like drinking a can of chili padi down.. ahhh.. seems like only Ming can drinks it down in gulps...

Then later on after eating our fill, Ming and I sent him off to the airport to catch his flight back to penang! But first of course, at the Airport, we had to stop by Swensens to fill our faces with more cream and sugar and fats!!!

hee hee and this is when we decided to give stewie his pseudo christmas present...!!

(yes Ming is much cheekier than his serious exterior! He makes me laugh so hard it's sometimes not even funny!)

As I noticed, the only time I've seen Boss Stewie without a smile on his face is when... he is EATING!!

See? NO SMILE!!!

But then again, I think he will be very very happy with his Christmas present!

I hope he doesn't itch too much... :)

Disclaimer: No Boss Stewies or Swensens ice cream or darlie toothpaste was hurt in the making of this blog post...

9eek Meditation - How they "DO IT"

So dez neh... so this is how 9eeks "DO IT"...

Truly... mind blowing...

Nuffnang Community Initiative - The Enchanted (pics)

These are a couple of pics taken from Nuffnang's screeing of The Enchanted last week. 200 tickets were given out the Nuffnangers who responded first to an email blast.

I felt there are many different faces as compared to their first screening of Rush Hour...


Being the itchy finger I am, I followed on to do some photo editing, adding some presents and brightening up the picture...

Perhaps a bit over done with all the hats and christmas ornaments from the trees?

Well, basically I'm all up and geared up for the upcoming Festive Season!!!! :)

Let the countdown begin!.... better start saving up for christmas pressies now!

294 highest for PSLE! WTH...

Yes, nerdy not? Me in nerd mode. I know this picture looks retarded after editing, but I can't imagine how else I'll look like if I was as young as 12 and got 294 for PSLE. Whoever it is, this person must have studied like #$%^&*()#$%^&*%^&*($^&&%^&$%U

"WAH LAU EH!!! DON'T SPOIL THE MARKET LIKE THAT LEH... BEST THING DON'T STEP FOOT IN NUS. IF YOU DO, YOU'LL BE ONE OF THOSE FREAKSHOWS WHO SKEW THE FREQUENCY CURVE LEH..."

294 is freaking insane! It's like triple kill, head shot, gang bang, godlike, KILLING SPREE, wooooot!!!

I could only dream of something like that...

For some reason I always tell myself that God is fair. If you're damn freaking smart, then you're damn "off" looking and if you're damn good looking, then ur damn freaking dumb. Yes dichotomous. Something's gotta give.

IF YOU'VE GOT BOTH BY ANY CHANCE UR A FREAK OF NATURE! DAMN LUCKY U!

This year the top Student was a Malay girl from St. Hilda's Primary School! Yea my alma mater!!!! So proud of her! HAHA yes she is FEMALE! Wooot! Shows that... females are smarter... but only when young, sad to say.

Reason 1: Females mature earlier, cognitively so probably develop more grey matter earlier?

Reason 2: Females are more "docile" thus more disciplined and conscientious??

Reason 3: Cuz the 9eek 9oddess says so...

None the less, this brought back memories from my primary school, life was so carefree (unlike#$%^&* NUS now) and I was innocent enough to have flowers in my hair...

Would you chose to be smart or pretty?
(say if they were mutually exclusive?)

Wanna see how I look like as a VAMPIRE? (Pics)

The wonders of photo editing, I managed to turn myself into a VAMPIRE, before and after shots. I know it's tad bit after Halloween, but what the heck. I was a bit freaked, but at least I know how I would look as a vampire. BOOOO~ Do I scare you? Do you know how you'd look?

Green goop falling all out of your hair, blood stains from your well concealed fangs...

Ahhhh... this is the before shot... (shouldnt scare you, I hope)


After shot...


BOOOOO!

:) So did I scare you? Pls don't say the after shot looks better.. that would surely be a cheap shot... :(

Would you jump down a manhole for YOUR MAN?

I want to be a princess too!!! Can you imagine, falling in love with someone special, being swept off your feet by a prince on a white horse? Honestly?? If I had to jump down a manhole before it could happen, I'd gladly jump into ANY and even ALL of the manholes in midtown Manhattan. In fairytales, LOVE is always overrated, it seems like love at first sight is an everyday affair...

<---- yes I'll jump down this... <---- this one also no problem.... <---- this one looks a bit scarier, but yes I'll still plunge


this one above I'll climb down...

But really... NONSENSE aside...

The Enchanted was such an awesome movie. It was seriously awesome. But really, the best part of it was that I didn't have to pay for it....

Call me cheap but free movies are welcome anytime.



The trailer itself tells of what an enchanting movie it will be. And it gets 5 popcorns from your truly. Apart from the smashing company there, the movie was breathtaking!!! Shimei, Raine, Isaac, Skyler, Huiwen, Glenn (her very charming bf) and Esther managed to catch this show compliments of the Nuffnang team.

Being the kiasu we were, I had gone super duper early to "chope" a whole row of seats so other that assuring ourselves good seats, we had enough to go around, so much so that Wendy (xiaxue), Stanley and gf (evelyn aka blackhighheels) as well as Jiawen and her gang could share the row with us.

Basically the fairytale romance takes place in midtown Manhattan, where characters from the fairytale get zone warped into reality and learn how imperfect this world we live in is. How totally opposite the real world is from the utopic picture painted in disney's lala land. Ooohhh and what I really like about Disney movies is their ever-lovable sidekick characters (thinkn puss in the boots from the Shrek Movie!). I love PIP, the chipmunk in "The Enchanted"!! I love the way it talks and attempts to save the princess!!! soooo cute la!

The show ends with a twist (I'm not revealing twists here) and we realise that love can happen even in this mired world we live in today, despite the hustle and bustle of busy city live, no one can do without a hand to hold and a warm family to call their own.

Great date movie, good time to creep your hand over and hold you gf/bf/date's hand... will make you go "awwwwwwww" as well as provide you with an endless string of laughter.


P/s: One thing to note though, the male protagonist's gf looks like nelly furtado... I wonder if I'm the only on who thinks so...

Eligible Singaporean Bachelor up for grabs (Nicholas Tse look alike)

Calling ALL single girls of all age, race, size, height etc., I officially announce to one and all, JUNKANG, my very good looking friend who is currently single and VERY eligible. From the photo, you can see he looks like Singapore's very own Nicholas Tse!!

Now Ng Junkang, age 26 is searching for the one... and as I can tell is very very very jaded. From my most recent conversation with him on Saturday, he was busy at work (yes it was a Saturday!!!) and told me work would end in the evening!

Dear me dear my, this guy needs a dampsel in distress to save - and NOW!-

Quote: I work on weekends because I have to and have to rake in the cash

Quote 2: I have no life lah!

Quote 3: My plan is to work real hard, get a lot of money and then find my one true love at 55



Oh and for the record, did I mention that he has his fair share of unglam moments too? (he's human la!!! )

Do Women REALLY Want Sex as Much as Men? (Video)

SEX is always a heated topic of discussion over which men and women are usually at odds.

Just listen over the shoulders of men and women sitting at the bar. Women wonder why men just don’t understand them sexually. And men wonder why they can’t get more action.

Quite the dilemma, wouldn’t you say?

Here’s the problem…

Most men assume that sex is something that’s to be won over from the women like a special prize. They seem to think that women don’t want sex as much as they do, because of the incredible lack of response they get from women.

Could it be possible that women really don’t want sex as much as men?

By the way, can you count how many times Dan says sex in this short segment?


On a lighter or probably heavier note:


With online dating sites, social networking sites, video chat rooms, email and instant messengers, it’s easier than ever to meet someone, have an affair - and get away with it.


Check out these really scary statistics from CheaterCheckers.com.

* 1 in 2 people in a relationship cheat on their partner
* 9 out of 10 women who feel their partner is cheating are correct
* 50% of men who feel their partner is cheating are correct
* 57% of women cheat on their partner
* 3 in 4 married men cheat on their partner
* 2 out of 3 people being cheated on never find out


If you’re like me, you know that people cheat, but those numbers are much, much, much higher than I ever would have guessed.

PT: Love's your gravest sin

I chose it, he chose it
I bite my lip, he spills the drink
All over the floor,
The diet coke flows like
Blood from a dead carcass,
Mercury on ice

I chose it, he chose it
2 separate roads never converging
All over his fields
The blood stains splatter
He has never been loved
Spurned from the very start

I chose it, he chose it
I know how warmth breath feels
Fingertips stroking the skin
But she took her life
Because she rather be dead

I chose it, he chose it
2 very different people
One with strawberry glasses
One with sordid heart
I chose the former

I chose it, he chose it
2 very different outcomes
Both hungry for love
One dumped and ditched
Because I seal my lips

I chose it, he chose it
I super glue the crevices
They leak and threaten to burst at the hinges
It rumbles and rolls, it takes a toll
On the ones we love

I chose it, he chose it
PT is the flavor of the game
Spurned twice, no thrice
The number grows,
When will u understand

I chose it he chose it
It's truly silly how
We use words and the number game
And I'm sorry, sorry for saying
That PT is the name of the game

I chose it, he chose it
He is determined
I see through the weakness
The cracks on the wall
From all his past hurts

I chose it, he chose it
The blood boils over
It bubbles and burns
But she's with him
Love's your gravest sin

REAL men DON't cry......

Real men don't cry... ah yes we have heard this statement countless of time.. but is it true?

Personally, men who cry are in touch with their sensitive sides and I very much prefer someone who dares to cry rather than hold it all in. Afterall, we're all human and the outpouring of emotions is, but instinct..

It has been ingrained into our DNA since young that crying is a form of attracting attention from out caregiver in a bid to seek solace...

I can relate to that. I remember when I was young, my sister had constantly scream for attention, totally redefining the word "crybaby". I used to detest the way she bawled at the slighest touch.

My mother said that as a kid, I rarely cried. Even on my first day in preschool, when all my peers were bawling and clinging on to their mother's tear-stained pants, I bravely stood in line, nonchalent to my surroundings, singing the national anthem as if I was andrea bocelli. (you get my drift..)

I don't remember myself being so hard harded though, so sometimes I tell others I was a crybaby so I come across as more sensitive (but seriously.. who am I trying to kid.. *evil laugh*)

Some pictures I pulled off various sites, which compound the fact that all babies cry - boy or girl- it is a form of expression that comes from birth.

"Gimme back my pacifier, you twat!"

I was randomly surfing and I came across this queer competition held in Japan. In fact after reading about it, I felt angry. How unethical!!!! Then again, Japanese are known to be amongst the queerest people in the world (the pranks they play on others and the fact that they sell soiled lady undies in public dispensers as if they were commodities... *shock, horror*

"WAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAA"

Held in Tokyo every late April, is...

a competition for the baby who can cry the loudest!!!!!

Held ’sumo-style’ in conjunction with local amateur sumo, who provides ’support’ for the competitors (also known as bawling babies). In the event, which is thought to bring good health, Japanese babies face off against each other in matches to see who can cry the loudest.

How loud you can cry, I can cry louder, I can cry anything louder than you..
No you can't
Yes I can
No you can't
Yes I can...

"Cry louder you stinking lump of meat! Cry #$%^&*(), CRY!!!!! You're female! You're supposed to be more emotional, cry before I eat you up! I'm hungry!!!!"

"Lets shake these kids so hard, they'll scream their brains out!!! Muahahaha!!"

"Maybe pinching them real hard when their parents are looking might work!!!"
(look at the guy on the left, I actually think he is secretly squeeing the baby's $%^&)

I bet the kid in the red flappy underwear is crying of embarrassment... At least have the decency to properly clothe him!!

"Waaaaaa Waaaaa we're going to get eaten alive by these fatties!! Oh no!!! Their tummies feel like waterbeds!!! Help!!!"

boy on the left... " Damn these crap heads. To dress me in a ninja suit! How am I going to look good enough for this girl? She has a sour puss face! She must be turned off by me! How am I going to get lucky!!!??? *wail*"

Can’t get enough photos of sumo wrestlers making babies cry? Check out our other report on a similar festival held in Tokyo.

So men, what I'm trying to say is that crying is very natural, so let the tears flow...

As Justin Timberlake says it best... CRY ME A RIVER....

Guess what this baby is saying?

There is something about babies that is completely pure - untainted by this world.

We look at them, talk to them, yet cannot understand their babble. There are a thousand and one ways to interpret the cute grimaces of a baby...

What is this baby saying? What's your take? Vote now!

1) Damn, constipation sucks. How do I get this crap out of me?
2) Wooot! Man U are going to be EPL champs again!
3) Farting is sooo shiok...
4) Get this super childish hat off my head, get these damn jumpers off me!
5) Oooh this bed is soooo kushy and soft
6) Can't wait for mambo on Wednesday! Can't wait to jig!
7) I'm the king of the world!
8) I'm gonna score one with that hot babe in the crib next door!

MEN are like...
