Chapter 111~ Rhetorical Moves for BLOGS (in lieu for DLK 100 exam)
Rule #1: Do not use generalisation, be as specific as you can.
disclamier: 他refers to he, 她 refers to she, 它 refers to it, 我 refers to I/me, 你 refers to you, therefore 有人 refers to someone and anyone.

Rule #2: Anticipate what your R(reader) might think or feel after reading.

Rule#3: Use more hedging and boosting, if W(writer) is not sure about anything.

Rule #4: Cite your sources, especially words or phrases that you hear from someone and you have paraphrase it.

Example shown as below:

Steven Fo Kok Hong is Dixie Tan's best friend for 28th March at least for this day(Dixie, 2008). Definitely, Steven will be very honoured and happy to know this.

If possible, try to stick to that as a format of blogs, in case .....
friends, agree??? =)

Chapter 110~Terms and Conditions apply if u want to watch VANTAGE POINT










Tagline:8 Strangers. 8 Points of View. 1 Truth.
Plot Outline:With a Rashomon narrative style, the attempted assassination of the president is told from several different perspectives.




Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist video taping the event to show his kids. There is also Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. We follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes before and immediately after the shooting to get to the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt.





Terms and Conditions for watching VANTAGE POINT...




  1. PLEASE.. PLEASE go watch if u want to .. not for the sake of some else, becuz if u dun really want to watch it. u will be bored to death and gets to meet the ZZZ monster in the theatre..

  2. IF u dun mind watching some of the scene or listening to the same lines for around 8 times.. i repeat 8 times.

  3. if u agree that americans think too highly of themselves and u wan to see them fail .. then catch this .. personally, i think they did a great job at this part.. hahaha

anyway, that's for fun..


Honestly speaking, only the first and last point apply.. hehehe


i like the way this movie works.. the same accident.. but with different ppl with their different perspectives, u dun really see the truth.. this movie is like a JIGSAW puzzle.. and its only when u put all the witnesses' statement together, then u will get the truth...


if u wan to watch something and allows u to reflect upon life.. this is great... 4stars out of 5.. =)

Chapter 109~ 问世间情为何物?
a week ago, i have a frien who writes love poems for her bf.. i tot that was really sweet... and this act of hers reminds me of this song 《为你写诗》by 吴克群

《为你写诗》by 吴克群

爱情 是一种怪事
我开始全身不受控制
爱情 是一种本事
我开始连自己都不是
为你我做了太多的傻事

第一件就是为你写诗
为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你我学会弹琴写词
为你失去理智
为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你弹奏 所有情歌的句子
我忘了说 最美的是你的名字

爱情 是一种怪事
你的笑容是唯一宗旨
爱情 是一种本事
我在你心里什么位子

为你我做了太多的傻事
第一件就是为你写诗
为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你我学会弹琴写词
为你失去理智
为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你弹奏 所有情歌的句子
我忘了说 最美的是你的名字

为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你我学会弹琴写词
为你失去理智
为你写诗 为你静止
为你做不可能的事
为你弹奏 所有情歌的句子
我忘了说 最美的是你的名字

我什么都能忘记
但唯一不忘是你的名字
我什么都能忘记
但唯一不忘是你的样子
我什么都能忘记
但唯一不忘是你的名字
我什么都能忘记
但唯一不忘是你的样子

BUT 怎么还会有人会劈腿 ... 有些人很深情。。有些却很薄情。。。有些则多情到被爱情弄瞎了眼。。。 她居然还为他解释。。。 怎么会有这么傻的人。。。她让我想起了蔡依林 《 睁一只眼 闭一只眼》 

蔡依林 《 睁一只眼 闭一只眼》 

你和谁去逛街 还换了新球鞋
明明鬼鬼崇崇 说我疑神疑鬼
打给你不是没接 就是手机没电
失踪半天送我玫瑰 破绽更加明显
看你涨红了脸 为你找下台阶
不但不说感谢 要我装没看见
看着我的双眼
跟我说一遍 你爱我没有改变
不过一时脱线 不乱放电
保证你不会食言而肥

睁一只眼 闭一只眼
你要再对我好一点
每天说爱我一百遍
定时和我连线
睁一只眼 闭一只眼
人没有十全十美
心疼你就快要崩溃
也许 可以再给你机会

自言自语你就快得精神分裂
要你安份一点还嫌我碎碎念
再乱抛媚眼会眼袋发黑
别再自我催眠假装你没看见
花招百变应付你我觉得好累

睁一只眼 闭一只眼你要再对我好一点
每天说爱我一百遍
定时和我连线
睁一只眼 闭一只眼
人没有十全十美
心疼你就快要崩溃好吧
考虑再给你机会

动动你聪明的鬼脑
相信你一定能做得到
给一个致命的拥抱
我就会安静的像(只)猫

动动你聪明的鬼脑
相信你一定能做得到
给一个致命的拥抱
我就会安静的像(只)猫
少装可怜 你就会变帅气的脸

睁一只眼 闭一只眼
你要再对我好一点
每天说爱我一百遍
定时和我连线
睁一只眼 闭一只眼
人没有十全十美
心疼你就快要崩溃好吧
考虑再给你机会
考虑再给你机会考虑
再给你机会

可以再给你机会
可以再给你机会

在此我许了一个愿望:我希望我身边的朋友和亲人都爱得幸福,爱得快乐,千万不要爱得痛苦。。希望大家都《爱的正好》苏永康/陈洁仪 !!

《爱的正好》苏永康/陈洁仪

女:可能是久违的甜蜜
可能是潮水的来去
把眼泪流成一阵雨
能不能够流到你心里

男:一定是潮水的魔力
让海岸也无能为力
就当是生命中的奇迹
改变了天涯海角的距离

男:可能大雨来得太早(女:我还不知道)
男:可是情话说得正好(女:我还在寻找)
男:再怎么样寻找
女:来时路已经找不到
女:可能缘份来得太早(男:我还不知道)
女:可是情话说得正好(男:我还在寻找)

合:当我以为再等不到你却突然停靠在我怀抱

Chapter 107 ~ A Meaningful day at Whitesands and MY great JC gathering

i was down in WhiteSands at Pasir Ris, helping out the bone marrow donor programme..
i made a lot of new friends frm smu there, not really sure hw they got involved but they are nice people, quite warm and fun loving.. shw ya ppl my workdesk..when i reach and said HI, their first question was: hi, are u a volunteer as well? do you knw hw to do the pricking? .. i said ya, but i tried only once, cos i learnt it only 2 days ago, they say, GREAT, cos we cant .. so i got my seat and i had another partner() who is a nurse currently in SGH.. had a great time, and i thought , it was quite meaningful, sure wouldnt mind doing it again..
jus tat... hmm.. just that i have been staring at the same guy or the whole day..


quite sick of him now.. hahaha ^^^

o.. anyway, not to lecture u all abt the Bone Marrow Donor Programme but i think alot of ppl really didnt get themselves update of the actual information of the transplant now.. there is another way aka stem cell transplant.. works like a blood transfusion jus that before the transfusion you will be taking a jab.. that stimulates the cells in ur body.. ya,.. simple as tat.. hmm.. check out the webby ba.. www.bmdp.org.

btw .. another way to help is to donate.. by buyin the bears.. or giftcards... personally, i think the bears are nice and cute but not worth 15 bucks.. the cards are nice.. but not that nice to be sold for 10 bucks...that a good look.. so when u feel that u are rich and have no channels to spend ur money.. DA da~~ this is a nice way.. =) hehe

the bears^^^^^^


the cards.

CLass GATHERING

after that , i Chiong down TO BUGIS for my JC class gathering.. almost everyone was there.. so happy.. even mr Chacko was there.. o.. he reminded my of my days in SR which was like Hell!! hahaha and my days as a student councillor.. sweet memories but dun really wish to think abt it.. hehe.. anyway.. went to this egyptian restuarant and had a sumptuous dinner.. and then it was .. hey.. it was.. CAMERAs' .. everyone started taking out their camera's and hmm... perhaps its due to Ms KOH YAH HWEE.. the place seems that it was overwhelmed by paparazzi.. hhehe.. not doubt.. ms koh yah hwee is one of the finalist in star search.. haha.. jus some pics.. i took with my phone... blur me.. didnt bring my camera along.. dumb right? i think so too.. hehe
Ms Koh Yah Hwee and ME..

Chapter 106~ Stoopid but happy and clever dixie

For the past few days, i may not be as happy as you ppl have seen. jus that joy is a way for me to fight sorrow. anyway, really happy now, and things are getting better for me.. happy for alot of stuff.. esp the bone marrow donation thingy.. i heard that the response was great and ya..
one stoopid mistake from dixie and it made dixie's day... look at wat i wore to my friend's room. i was supposed to meet my friend at the bus stop, then i thought, i would be rather nice to pop by her place since i guessed she might still be around somewhere. so when i reached her place, i felt that one of my foot feels so airy and cool, while the other seems abit stuffy, so i looked down and to my horror... this was wat i saw..

omg..
I was so glad tat i went to my friend's room instead of the bus stop..hahaha.. so i borrowed my friend's slippers and went to JP to catch SPIDERWICK..


The movie not bad.. had a special ending tat i didnt really anticipated.. and ya.. 3.5 stars out of 5.. abit disappointed about myself tat i didnt wait for the credits to end.. cos to me.. i guess credits is the ony time where the cast and crew can show that they have participated in the making and to acknowledge their effort.. so haiz.. tat by the by ..


o.. jus one more little point to add.. on my way back to school. there was this young man listening to his mp3 or i dunno wat, he bought a super big frame(suitable for 2000 pieces of jigsaw i guess) and he just places it on the seat in front of him.. i supposed he didnt pay for the 2 seats on front of him, so hw could he does tat.. i said it quite loudly but i guess he cant really hear me... but as an educator.. i should have told him not to do tat, as its rather inconsiderate, but i didnt.. ME NO GUTS. booo....



MSN SoLitaire.. A game tat JOYCI, JINGTING and I are obsessed with.. ITS really a nice game.. and i had a really cool win.. i cleared my all my cards.. i repeat. ALLL.. ALLL... hahaha..show u ppl ..
COOL Hor~~
anyway, its really fun.. i can be ur 24/7 msn kaki.. mahjong needs 4.. msn solitaire onli needs 2.. hahah




THE WHOLE WORLD TELLS ME TAT IT WILL RAIN TONIGHT... SO IN CASE IT RAINS.. I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA... MUAHAHAHAH....
I AM SO FREAKING CREATIVE RIGHT.. BUT I THINK I AM TOO DESPERATE FOR THE SUN!!

Chapter 105~我发花痴了,我要嫁给一个收音机

如果你到了kim 的部落格,你就会发现,我发花痴了。哈哈! 他就是。。。 就是。。我的学院里的一位讲师。他的大名是陈志锐。。
他长得真得不是很好看。。真的。。 只是。。他的声音很好听。。 哈哈,我认为他是我众多讲师中,最用心讲课的一个。你可能不认同,,不过至少,我认为是。
所以听过他念 徐志摩的《再别康桥》和《我不知道风 是在那一个方向吹》。。 好好听哦。。

《再别康桥》 徐志摩

轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。

河畔的金柳,
是夕阳中的新娘,
波光里的艳影,
在我的心头荡漾

软泥上的青荇,
油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,
我甘心做一条水草!

那榆阴下的一潭,
不是清泉,
是天上虹揉碎在浮藻间,
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

寻梦?
撑一支长篙,
向青草更青处漫溯,
满载一船星辉,
在星辉斑斓里放歌。

但我不能放歌,
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,
沉默是今晚的康桥!

悄悄的我走了,
正如我悄悄的来;
我挥一挥衣袖,
不带走一片云彩。

《我不知道风 是在那一个方向吹》

我不知道风
是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
在梦的轻波里依洄。

我不知道风
是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
她的温存,我的迷醉。

我不知道风
是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
甜美是梦里的光辉。

我不知道风
是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
她的负心,我的伤悲。

我不知道风

是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
在梦的悲哀里心碎!

我不知道风 是在那一个方向吹
我是在梦中,
黯淡是梦里的光辉。

每个星期,我最向往的就是他的课了,如果所有的科目都是他教的话,要我拿满分应该不会很难吧。。 刚才在kim 那里聊天,才发现原来我很喜欢他的声音,之后他们提议帮我录下他的声音,那我干脆说我嫁给一个收音机吧。。。 哈哈哈。。

几天前和宝芝and hansel's friend chwuan biao去看了waterhorse..在巴士上,宝芝问我water horse 是什么,我霎时不知道怎么回答就说water horse lo..她听了我的答案,顿时傻眼,她便连续问了我同样的问题三次,那我也同样的回答了同样的答案三次 。。 哈哈哈哈哈哈。。。

不过话又说回来,这部戏真的不错,4.5stars out of 5。。。剧终时,发现自己流下了几滴的眼泪。。很好看,也同时让我想起free willy....


最后,我要去看spiderwick! anyone out there who is interested too?????????

Chapter 104~我的家不见了

我又跟家里的人吵架了。 Perhaps I am really too much a cancerian.. i don’t miss my home and my family because I know they will be safe, and its just a a phone call away if I am in hall. 我不是不想家。只是 我不把这些说出来。我也发现我和家里的人不会沟通了。所以我才会有搬回家的念头,可是为什么我要求大家给我意见的时候,似乎都没得商量,我想听意见,我不一定要接受啊,不是吗?爸爸似乎把“意见”的意思搞错了。虽然,我常把钱挂在嘴边,可是,如果妹妹真的需要,我会借的啊。我只是多嘴说了你去年还没还钱,我不是催着你还啊。我就是知道,你教补习很辛苦,所以,也没急着要回啊。为什么就是没有人体谅我,我为什么没有人站在我的立场为我想。为什么。我也不想每次回家,就和你们有冲突。我不想,我也不要。可是,为什么爸爸要我作出那个选择。他居然要我选择其中一项,一、毕业后才回家,还是,二、住在家里。我该怎么办,不想开心的回家,可是,为什么我的家好像从一家四口变成一家三口了。刚才出去的时候,妈妈和妹妹真的好像母女,我更像外人了。我的家不见了。怎么办。怎么办。
