Hello, Iโ€™m GENNNN

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by – Robert Frost-

  • Blood drive in School

    i have always wanted to donate my blood and experience how is it like to do a good deed since i was in junior college, but because i was under the age of 21, if i didnt get the consent of my parents, i would not be able to do so. As usual, my paranoid but loving mother refuses to allow me to donate for fear of the many many reasons even though i reassured her that it is safe and that all the medical equipments are clean and sterilized and the medical officers would not want to sabotage the blood that they have collected but to no avail. Now that i am already pass that age of 21 and i no longer require my parent’s consent, so when i saw the emailer this time round, i decided to ๅ…ˆๆ–ฉๅŽๅฅ and just go with it before telling my mother. aside from being a lousy daughter, but this has been something that i really really wanted to do in my life, i mean i could save someone’s life with my blood and it’s not something life-threatening to me so why not??

    going to the donation drive was filled with excitement and anxiety for me. I didnt manage to pull any friends along, so i went for it myself. The waiting part was scary, cuz i wondered if the iron test and the poking of the needle would hurt. the process was rather meticulous, we had to fill up a declaration form first, den register, medical check, iron level test before the donation. The medical staff were nice and friendly, reassuring me that it will not hurt that much and it really didnt hurt at all. The process of blood donation was really fast like it took probably 15-20mins to fill up a packet? but the feeling of watching the blood flowing out is weird. the tube that went across my wrist felt warm as the blood flowed downwards to fill the packet. such an interesting experience, i didnt feel any difference just weak after the donation (thank god) and took milo and my fav biscuit to replenish the glucose in my body. It was really a satisfying and interesting experience for me which i had learnt a lot of stuff through this blood donation ๐Ÿ™‚ Additionally, i was happier to know that i could donate as the O blood stock was critically low, so my blood could indeed really help!

    Goodies which i had gotten from the blood drive.

    MY HAPPY moment after the donation

    they even gave me iron tablets to take everyday after the donation

    This blood donation make me realize a few things:

    1. I’m really thankful for my mum for making me such a healthy person to be able to help others. Even though she was furious when i told her in the end, she understood that this is something i really really wanted to do in my life
    2. That i haven been really doing much voluntary services to give back to the society. We all have been too caught up with our busy, hectic school schedules to notice and help and care for others. Probably i should sign up with some volunteer groups and start volunteering to help others, something which i have been wanting to do very much. it would be a great and meaningful way for me to spend my time while i’m searching for my job after graduating. HMM that shall be the PLAN ๐Ÿ˜€

    Quick updates~

    At the end of the day, the key to true love is chemistry, and that means attraction, shared values, common interests and substance.

    mid term break went past quickly, but definitely not just packed with school work. i think this is one of my well balanced break ever :DD work hard and play hard too! Had most of the projects done early in the week due to the need to collect data and work on transcribing which was really a pain in the ass and tedious. aigooo~ got so sick and tired of hearing my candidate’s voice over and over againnnn over the 3 days of transcribing. thank god i never dreamt of his voice. shall blog backwards :DD

    SUNDAY

    the last day of mid term break already! okay, was suppose to just nua at home and just go for gongyo at joy’s place and dinner at ah ma hse but ended up gg on an impromptu cycling session with Cass at pasir ris park! really amazed how fast the both of us warmed up to each other even though it has only been 7 weeks since i really know her? maybe all that KPOP stuffs and also IJ behaviors help to accelerate this process of ice breaking and relationship building. lol. cycling was fun, been so long since i last went which i cant recall if the pulau ubin was the last cycling session or there’s another one in between? But probably cycling on the weekend is a bad idea as there are so many people walking, skating, biking on the track which makes it super hard to maneuver around since we both arent really expert at cycling yet. Damn worried cuz cass fell and she said her ankle felt funny, luckily it wasnt anything serious so we stopped biking after an hour and slowly walked back to return the bikes while chatting ๐Ÿ™‚ l totally love it when i can chat with someone about anything under the sun, like that kind of comfort and familiarity even though we just known each other. being on the same frequency and being able to connect is a really an important aspect for me, cuz i will only be able to start opening up to people when i’m comfortable and i’m able to relate to. i think i can be nice and easy going towards everyone, but being close with them, it would depends. well anyway we wanted to swing but we felt bad like we are waiting for the kids to get off the swing, so we headed for dinner at Manhattan fish market! food taste heavenly when you are really hungry :DD have been hungry quite often this entire break and my appetite went UP which IDK why. we managed to play the swing in the end and also see-saw ๐Ÿ˜€ AWESOME!! now we are happy to continue with the remaining 6 weeks of our SEM ๐Ÿ˜€

    CASS so HAPPY with her Coke Light.HAHAS
    SWINGING Our NIGHT AWAY~
    RECHARGED ๐Ÿ˜€

    Friday

    meetings in school. LONG day, but it was great cuz i had great company ๐Ÿ˜€ okay, all this talk about grad trip in Korea is getting me all excited!! dunno whether it’s cuz of the planning or because i get to travel with my friends or watsoever, but i’m definitely looking forward to it ๐Ÿ˜€ different group of friend which i am gg travelling with, i wonder what kind of memories and fun moments will we create. my motivation!

    Beaches in Busan :)) yonghwa’s hometown! heh heh

    WEDNESDAY

    been waiting for tonight excitedly!!heh heh cuz heading to janice’s house for sleepover to watch CNBLUE’s Bluestorm concert DVD which she had bought!! fangirling time~ hahahs it’s been such a long time since i last sleepover at my girlfriends house. we cooked ramyeon and tteok for dinner. whoo~ korean maggie noodles really taste NICEEEE.lol even though our noodles didnt look the way how it’s like that we see in korean shows or drama, but the taste for sure was SURPRISINGLY good. hahahs we were amazed though.

    getting high on CNBLUE concert was interesting, lol cuz we see the fangirl side of each other. aigooo~ i wish i could attend CNBLUE concert for REAL at least once in my life, their vocals and stage charisma is really DAEBAK!

    ramyeon and tteok that we cooked!
    HAPPY US :DD CNBLUE CONCERT ROCKS
    CNBLUE BLUESTORM CONCERT DVD

    TUESDAY

    interview for CCM data collection. anxious but i’m glad it turned out well. had lunch with cindy and catch up loads. realized that though i have 2 classes with her, i didnt really have much interactions with her cuz both of our classes we dont sit together, so we dont really talk much too. but really appreciate that she asked me to eat lunch together. hahas i know, i’m a very passive person. i dont really take initiative to start a message or contact someone specially, and i realized it is always others who initiate to meet up. okay but to really ensure that those friendships that i really value, maybe i should change and do something about it. HAHAS i think this is sooOO a libra trait lahhh. met up with gwen in the night to catch up too and we realise that we both have not really met since 2 semester ago though we would coincidentally bump into each other in school. hahahs the issue with us is that we both dun initiate and that has become a problem with both of us. LIBRAS ahhhhh. guess both of us have to make an effort to keep this friendship gg. but dinner and L4D session with her was AWESOME! hahahs we managed to clear a campaign, cuz this person joined our game halfway and i think we manage to clear it bcuz of him. hahhas fun catching up too. so many things happen since we last met, glad that we are finally meeting up!

    tat’s all for mid term break. gotta focus and continue on remaining assignments, projects, job applications and grad trip planning for the last 6 weeks!!! HWAITING ~


  • My dream house~

    After a day out in the playground swinging, just some random thought about how my dream house will be like ๐Ÿ˜€ It kinda cool to think about it though ๐Ÿ™‚ Hmm my dream is to play with the swing all my life :)) hahas fun but i know it’s impossible. lol but well. that’s like one of the favorite things i like and want to do everyday if i can..Love the feeling of feeling the breeze against your face and trying to swing higher and higher with every swing. I definitely want a swing in my dream house if its possible. a white porch swing will be PERFECT โค I bet it will be awesome to lie down and sleep in that and watch the stars in the balcony ๐Ÿ˜€

    Isnt this beautiful?
    definitely love to have a pet to accompany me with too!! heh heh. golden retriever, my FAV ๐Ÿ˜€

    Aigooooo~Life would be PERFECT if my dream house comes true ๐Ÿ™‚ hees.


  • Guitar players are charming~

    taking some time away from transcribing ๐Ÿ™‚ OMO, listening and transcribing is so tedious. like i spend hours and i only do a few minutes of transcribing only?? not an easy job man. so taking a break now and i found awesome videos of yonghwa!! heh heh i really think he’s damn charming when he plays the guitar ๐Ÿ˜€ guys who can play the guitars are charming! yeahh especially if he is confident and has charisma. my favorite scene in heartstrings where lee shin and lee gyuwon battle to see whether modern or traditional music is better. DAEBAK! i took these videos from http://klaritia.wordpress.com/ so these videos are not mine. THANKS for sharing these videos klarita and updating news on yonghwa and CNBLUE, love your bloggg ๐Ÿ˜€

    of course, there is yonghwa playing the acoustic guitar singing to the song “Lucky”. it sounds amazing to me too! heees aigoooo.

    and last but not the least my favorite song in heartstrings ๐Ÿ™‚ the comfort song that lee shin sang to console his crying girlfriend.

    watching all these videos make me wanna watch heartstrings all over againnnnn. well after my last paper at the end of april den! ๐Ÿ˜€

    not only that, recently started watching videos by sungha-jung. he’s amazing! he can arranged both the bass and the melody and play it out on his guitar. i was quite surprised when i heard it though. interesting ๐Ÿ™‚ most korean with surname “Jung” are pretty good musicians huh. love their passion for music.
