wish for something.
maybe it'll come true
cause God has 3 answers
yes, wait, no.
and so if your wish has been granted
you'll be happy
you should be
live it up and savour the moment
if it isn't and its gone the wrong way
don't be sad
don't be angry
just continue with life
but don't forget to keep wishing
if your answer has yet to come
then wait with me
you can sit beside me
we'll look at the stars
and keep waiting

job description
melissa the spoilt kid has finally worked for the 1st day in her life.
whoohoo.
my job is translator+secretary+receptionist+waitress+dishwasher

the order comes in in english. i have to write it down in chinese and give to the chef. 15 mins later, the food comes and i have to pack it and tell them 'here's your fish, rice and soup'. multiply by 20.
all we ever do is fight, fight and fight.
i'm tired.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?
IN ENG TODAY:
what do you see?
research shows that young children cannot see the couple because they have not been exposed to these sort of images. instead, they see 9 dolphins.
apparently, if you can't see the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is corrupted.
melissa/] says:
the teacher showed it to us in class
AND I COULDN'T SEE THE STUPID DOLPHINS!
then she was like
ok
all of you should have found the dolphins
and i think i was the only one who was still staring at the screen
{silent but violent} says:
then
melissa/] says:
still trying to figure out where the things were
so i concluded
i have a effing corrupted mind
{silent but violent} says:
u still can't see them?
IT TAKES ME LIKE 5 MINUTES TO SEE EACH DOLPHIN.
.
.
.
.
which makes me wonder... either my mind is bad at optical illusions
or my mind is corrupted beyond God's good saving grace.
i'd rather believe that my mind is bad at this sortathing.
somehow i doubt so.

moulin rouge
I'VE LIKE WATCHED MOULIN ROUGE FOR THE FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY SECOND TIME.
its the only movie which i can tolerate that has a sad ending.
it always makes me cry. then again people who know me argue that i've cried for every movie that i've watched that. except like, simpsons?
haha.
because of all the glitz of the costumes and nicole kidman& ewan mcgregor, there is the tendency to brush it off as a hollywood romantic movie. yes, it may be that but look at what most adults are struggling with: balancing their work and family. ultimately, its down to what you want to place first. as my facilities lecturer said 'you think people who have finished their shift at work and battled 1 hour of peak traffic are going to go home and be model husbands?'
of course, in the movie, the choice between love and money is dramatised, its a dilemma, it seems unapplicable. but little choices we make each day build up to that effect.
another thing about the movie i find so thought provoking is the extent to which a human can love. when i reflect on gossip i hear about this and that and i hear friends telling me their stories and problems, i always am astonished at what a human being can go through in order to protect a person they love, be it a family member, a friend or something more. sometimes, i'm proud to call myself a human being.
i hope i'll always have the ability to cry at movies and not become cynical and jaded...
and so. the best thing you can take away from moulin rouge:
the most important thing you'll ever learn is to love, and be loved in return.

sleep
a world i no longer recognise
a world which is not mine
a world i'm no longer part of
my driver's theory test is booked for next sunday
i'm so tired of changes, of uncertainity...
i don't want to be changing my address ever few months, flying here and there.
i want to curl up and sleep.
sleep for a very very long time.
then when everything's over, i'll wake up.
and everything will be alright again.

first 3 days of school
the first 3 days of school have been... educational, to say the least. also, extremely hilarious
Rooms division class(housekeeping, etc):
ms roughley: ok, we're going to get everyone to tell us something that nobody in college knows.
XX: i teach spanish. well, i used to teach spanish. but 2 days ago i slept with my student.
class: WHOOHOO! HAHAHA.
-i had to rapidly translate this into chinese for the benefit of this chinese guy next to me. so i was like er... 他跟他学生睡觉... er. no... 上床? the guy was like OH.
buisness communication:
lecturer: who has never worked before?
only my hand goes up... AH! i'm not a rich kid ok? i've just been studying my whole damn life!
also. i happen to be the youngest in that class. the oldest is like 30+?
Hospitality(bar practical):
we tried 12 types of alcohol. and along the way learnt that monks and nuns distilled alcohol in the name of God. tried one that was named frangelico, the bottle is shaped like a MONK but seriously, its just wrong to have alcohol named after a order of monks... but having said that, it was quite nice... very nutty flavour.
another one goes by the name 'perfect love' made from violets and roses. it is a very nice lavander colour and smells lovely. Sounds like a perfect drink to order for your romantic date? it tastes like crap and another name for it is 'cream of virgin'. so don't.
my favourite one was one that was made from rasberries :)
sigh.
more interesting stuff to come...
