ok... i have been thinking hard how to express what and how i'm feeling recently. Here's my attempt: i feel that friends shouldn't 'make use' of one another. Maybe sometimes, you do things unintentionally, but the party might feel that he/she is being 'made use' of. Sometimes, in a friendship, one is always compromising, and the other party is always enjoying all the advantages! Maybe taking turns to compromise each other is a best measure to maintain a friendship. For instance taking turns to take the 'favourite' seat when visiting a fastfood joint, or even when on the bus. Sometimes, when one party compromises, doesn't mean that party is really feeling ok. We shouldn't take things for granted as well, why must it always be the same party who does all the 'individual' task like running an errand to get stuff. If there's really a valid reason then no choice la, but sometimes when it can be done by yourself just when you make the EFFORT to TRY, things can be done! Can't keep relying on others to get things done! Independent is the word here. The other party that is always feeling that he/she is compromising might not know how to reject a friend, thats why he/she remains in that role. The other party's unhappiness of always playing that role might not be visible, but that doesn't mean the negative feelings does not exist! I also believe that some behaviours are selective, one will never or tries not to be late for important events like attending school and submitting assignments. Why can't that attitude be brought forward, when looking at small contracts that are made between friends? =( Bottling all the negative emotions inside and trying hard to remain as normal as possible is a difficult task! You never know when the inside will be over loaded and everything just overflows!!! You might think its alright to make one party wait after the time arranged to meet, feeling that its alright and that its not the first time this happens and the other party always WAITS... but stop here for a second and, spare a thought for others!!! Put yourself in their shoes, do you want to look silly loitering around the same place over and over again just because you are waiting for someone or look silly sitting all by yourself in class just to make sure there's seats available when class starts, when the class will only start in an hours time? Well, you might think but no one forces you to do all those.. ok then its just that person wanting to make a fool out of himself/herself ok.. trying to be the saint that makes everything run smoothly.... hope that answer the qn!!!! Lastly, Think twice... Minor changes will work wonders! P.S. Just trying to vent some frustration that's all. Hope this post set some minds thinking and reflecting... bye...
I thought hard, but really can't think of a title for this post =)
Ok...ask promised, a picture of the Children's Day presents that i bought for my students. Its nothing much, just a hand size note book, which comes together with a nice pencil. =) Hope they will like it. I didn't attend class today, had a terrible headache in the morning when i woke up... feeling better now though. Ah.. and i went to the library to borrow a book to read, english book mind you haha.. long time since i really read one, the title is The Peppered Moth by Margaret Drabble. =) Today, i plan to finishing preparing all the work for tuition and also go some revision on my school work. Up till now only manage to complete the 1st task. haha.. Oh, and i manage to practice my guzheng! haha that makes it 2 times a week. I use to only practice once a week you know, haha, was playing around with my tuner, trying to perfect my 7 and 4 tune. Okie that's all now, better go and study le... =)

My Idols for the next 3 years! Wahaha!
George Elton Mayo (1880 - 1979)
Well known for the Hawthorne Effect.
The Hawthoren Studies have 5 stages -
Namely: (1)Illumination Stage, (2)Relay Assembly Test Room, (3)Interview Stage, (4)Bank Wiring observation Room and (5)Couselling. Among these 5 stages, the 2nd and 4th are more important.
From this the Hawthorne experiment, Mayo observed that workers are not motivated by money, as mention in the scientific management theory by Taylor who sees man as a Rational Economic Man only motivated by money. Instead, Mayo views man as a Social Man. Thus he emphaises on the need to focus on the welfare of employees, in order for employers to increase their productivity.
He came up with the moving equilibrium model.The theory suggests that changes in one part of the system produce counter actions in the other parts of the system which return it to equilibrium.(even if it is a changed equilibrium).
-------------------------------------------------
Max Weber (1864 - 1920) He is one of the founding fathers of sociology. He believed there were two basic features of advanced capitalism: extensive division of labour and a hierarchical administration. According to Weber, these two features created a new middle-class whose position depended on human capital rather than labour or physical capital. Works by Max Weber: "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" "An Essay on Bureaucracy"
Marx believed that all societies are founder on conflict. and that the basic motor of all social change is economic. He sees society as a construction in 2 major classes. Basically the 'haves' Bourgeoisie (pronouced as Bush/Bua/Z) and the 'have nots' Proletariat. Marx however, in his analysis fails to look at the women in society. This is one of the criticism against Marxism. Also with the emergence of the middle class, his theory of only 2 major class in society doesn't hold.
My Notes: Ok, all these claims might not be 100% accurate as i didn't refer much to my notes and texts. Most of it is from my memory. So my apologies if any information in there is unaccurate. =)

Bunnies
Strange facts you may not know about bunnies
Bunnies are wonderful animals, but they're a lot stranger than you know:
bunnies aren't rodents. they're lagomorphs.
bunnies are crepuscular: not diurnal nor nocturnal, they are most active around dusk or dawn
bunnies have three sets of eyelids
bunnies cannot vomit
haha... i got these interesting facts from a website i was surfing. I was especially astonished when i found out that rabbits have 3 sets of eyelids! How come i never come to notice that when looking at one? Wahaha... Interesting... Oh yes.. another thing is that don't think that their tails are just there to make them look cute.. their tails is used to warn themselves or others of danger! that is if i remember what i read.. haha..=)
I woke up at 9am plus this morning although i only manage to fall asleep at 1 or 2am plus i think. Have to go down to The Adelphi, which is opposite Funan IT mall today to get a Guzheng score book that i would need for my exams. But i suppose they are not open yet, because when i called, no one answered me call.. Haiz.. Its Saturday again... boring weekend.. to think that there will be no more holidays for me, makes feel feel really..bad.. haiz... how to survive like that? haiz... ok.. shouldn't think so much.. live it a day by a day ba.. i guess.. haha.. Well i'll try calling up the place again to see if they got my book there, if yes, i would have to make a trip down to collect it..and then i'll be going to serangoon CC to study i guess.. plan to do maths today. Finish up the tutorial questions and also the sample exam questions from the study guide.. =) okie... till my next post.. byebye...

Feeling better Thanks!
Okay ignore my previous post, beacuse its just one of my mood swings creating trouble i guess. Turn out that things that i expected to be bad, all turn out alright! haha.. today's IBM lecture wasn't that bad...i must say.. or maybe because the lecture had a bad throat! wahaha... And tuition today went on quite well. I found out the reason why the mother smiles at me in a way i find perculiar.. because she asks me how old i am, saying that i look very young... wahaha then i told her 19, then she goes: look at her daughter, whose 14 (that is my student's sister), because her daughter kind of don't look her age ba.. abit old than her age.. haha anyway.. all things turn out well today.. except that i'm suppose to go to the school library to watch a socio video, in the end i didn't haha... not much harm done i guess. Oh and at school today Popular Bookstore is having a Bookfair and all items got 60%. And guess what they sell VCDs and DVDs there also.. and the astonishing part is they are playing Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi there. haha... although watching the show is not quite a nice experience as i disagree with the director/scriptwriter, but its still a nice/OK show la... Wahaha.. okay, i just got home from tuition and actually wanted to go and bathe, but too bad the toliet was occupied, so here i'm blogging. And the good news now is that the toliet is available! haha so Byebye..off i go... P.S. Oh and A Million Thank Yous to friends that express concerns regarding my previous post!!! ThankYou! I really appreciate it.. =)

What is going on?!
I suddendly feel that my life is so so so pathetic! Ok i know saying that i don't really have time to study is a lousy reason. In fact, i know clearly myself that i do have time to study if i organise my time well. So the main reason for how i'm feeling now is actually aroused when i was trying to plan what i'm going to do tomorrow after my morning lecture. Here's what i have planned. There are 3 things i have to complete by tomorrow. 1) i need to finish reading up my Sociology Study Guide Chapter 2.5 on Research Methods-- this is ok, doesn't pose much of a problem i guess.. 2) i need to read up on my IBM, reason: if not i'll feel insecure going to lecture on this coming thursday--- this is not ok... because i know i can't really "finish" reading by then! 3) i'm suppose to prepare my tuition work! --- this is a problem.. you see i currently got this primary 3 student and i'm suppose to be tutoring her for english. maths, science and abit of chinese. And much to my 'horror' i realised that her results are really bad... and for every tuition assignment i go to, i always find that my 1st instinct on the first lesson is quite accurate. Coming back to this p3 assignment, the mother seems too over 'friendly' on the 1st day! what do i mean by that.. i don't know how to describe my feelings, but its like she keeps smiling at me until the extend that i started feeling weird... or uncomfortable... so my feelings tell me that i might not be able to continue after 8 lessons... So now i'm getting myself stress over tuition as well!!!!! Help! i can't help myself feeling that way.. stress in school + stress from tuition = Argghh....!!!!!! But i need the money! i seriously don't want to ask for money from my parents...they have already help me to pay for my school fees which is so damm expensive..... its not right for me to ask them for money somemore! Shi Bu Shi Zhen De Zhi Yao Xiao Yi Xiao, Jiu Mei You She Me Shi Qing Shi Guo Bu Liao De Ne? Wo Hen Huai Yi, Wang Wang Shi Qing Zhen De You Zhe Me Jian Dan Ma?! =(
School Starts Again
(Right Pic:Yummy...Mai Ya Tang) Haha... yup.. new blogskin yet again... :) Anyway...Today's the really the last day of my one week break from school. Tomorrow, oh no should be today since it is well pass 12am, i'll be going back to school for class. In fact i'm kind of look forward to class, haha, all except IBM on thursday! Its really a torture attending that class! Haiz... Went SengKang library to study today, manage to get some scoiology into my head, in preperation for my first sociology test which is going to be 2 weeks away from now i guess, if my memory is not failing me. Ahh... am feeling hungry now, didn't have dinner at home .. but its ok... i'm not going to die for not eating dinner right? and its not the first time i skipped dinner already! Wahaha, and i'm still alive! haha.. talking nnsence already. Ok.. going to sleep already, want to wake up at around 10plus tomorrow, although i'm having afternoon lecture... its a good habit to wake up early, everybody knows that. But nowadays, i feel that i can't really sleep well at night. Don't know why, just feel that i have to toss and turn for sometimes as long as an hour before i really fall asleep... hmm...this is really bad... hope that this problem won't persist for long! really got to go now.. Good Night! Sweet Dreams! =)

What is a Blog For?
What is a blog for? Is it for the blogger to share his or her day with a group of friends or does a blog have other purposes? Lets look at blogs set up by Artists. Some obviously is just set up using their name but in fact it only functions as a media for the company to broadcast information, for instance like the date and venue of an upcoming autograph session etc. Some however is really a personal blog set up by Artists themselves as a media to share their personal life and also their thoughts and feelings under the limelight. However, which ever it is, all those information, by whatever means, have already been filtered by the Artists themselves! In fact even normal person would only post what they want others to know. Beacuse you are talking about your own life! Of course everyone wants people to only know the good in them right? For example, i might be having a bad day today, but in my blog, i might just skip over the whole bad day part and say how much i'm looking forward to tomorrow instead! Or i might be haveing an okay day today, and in my blog i make my day seems so terrific and i'm sad that the day has ended. Hmm... so what's the moral of the story? Ans: i feel that the stuff posted in blogs isn't really100% reliable. Unless you could have a few others to make a comparsion with! Haha... but another problem arises, where are you going to find such information to compare with? maybe the problem is that is there really a need to write an essay about the function of a blog!? haha maybe this whole post is redundant in the first place! Well those of you who have read it, my apologise if you really think so! Sorry x 100 =) Well, todays friday again and the week's break is so going to be over soon! and my studying is still not done yet! HELP!!! :(

Professor X
Wahaha.. just bought this VooDoo Doll from minitoons. Beacuse its really mini this time round, for people to hang on their phone! So cute! haha i bought this VooDoo doll called Professor X, he's suppose to boost my brainpower and help me concentrate more in my studies! haha...hope it really works.. haha... that's all.. :)
The Beginning of the Break
Today's Friday again, but this time round also the beginning of a one week break from school. Have to make full use of this one week break to catch up on my studies. Time really flies, now is already September. About four more months its the end of the year already. Year 2006 will be over. Thinking back, alot of things happened this year, major changes to my environment, my life, and my thinking also i guess. Have this feeling that my life is not that fufilling, not much ups and downs, but if there is really alot of ups and downs, i'll feel quite miserable also.. haha beacuse i'm not someone that is really quick to adapt to new changes. Recently i feel that my mood tend to vary alot. One moment i'm feeling really happy, the next moment i might be feeling down. Is it beacuse i'm getting older, experiencing more things? or is it just something else? i don't know. i feel that life till now is still not complete... sometimes when you really need to talk, there's no one to really talk to, or i should say i'm not someone who can really talk to another person about what or how i'm feeling. When will the day come when there is such a person that is able to know what i'm thinking without me saying it out? A person who knows the reason why i'm feeling down, knows when is the time to crack a joke to make me laugh, knows the reason why i'm happy today, knows when to just quietly be by my side when i don't feel like talking... there might not be such a person after all... anyway, still hoping that my wish will come true this year and also that i'll be able to cope well with my studies! that's all, got to go out for tuition soon.. bye...
