Sometimes she thinks she's Chinese, at other times Indian, and once in a while, Korean. Then, she would be called Yuk Hae Young. =)
As of now, she is 20 and currently studying mass comm at ntu.
Loving animals and children is part of her. Loving God is her whole.
She has a loving dad, a supermum, a caring kor kor and a little brother who is not so little anymore.
And her baby dog, Bobby, the fatty golden retriever.
The latest addition: her baby nephew =)
This week has been a really tiring, depressing, emotional week. 206 filming has not only hit so many dead-ends and had to make a u-turn, but conflicts and tension have abounded between friends and groupmates. I'm getting quite sick and tired of it. Also starting to hate myself for not being able to control my tone of words. Besides, IMM playground seriously has tons of mozzies... they had a feast sucking the life outta me. Oh, and another first: got pulled down to the fire command centre (FCC) of IMM by the security guard and ordered to stop filming. And got escorted back to the playground to ensure that we packed up and left. At least the guard was quite nice. He was just doing his job but the upper mgmt.. hmm.. no comments. Starting to think rules and protocols and all the red tape put in place just takes precious time away from our lives when we could all be using that time to do more productive and meaningful things.
Today, I just had to get my mind off school and stress. So I went to catch the movie "My Sister's Keeper". I tell you... I think it's the 1st time I spent an entire hour (like really), crying. Warning: The movie's not just a tearjerker; it's literally a sobbing activator. My whole new pack of tissue was used up by the end of the movie. And I was having such a hard time breathing cos my nose was blocked part of the time and trying not to make so much sound with all the sobbing and blowing of nose. Especially since the show was one of those kinds which is slow-moving and sad and silent, one could even hear a pin-drop, not to mention all my weird sounds from my sobbing and runny/blocked nose. I tell you I will never again watch such a heartwrenching movie at the cinema. It's just such a chore. At least if I watched it at home, I could make all the sounds I wanted and not disturb anyone. When I left the theatre, this whole group of guy standing outside the restroom were like staring at me... must have been thinking why my eyes and nose are so red and swollen. Embarrassing... Then, all the way home in the car, my eyes were like stinging dry and pain after all the tears had been emptied. Didn't know watching a movie could be such an interesting experience for my body. One benefit's for sure: Watching a sorrowful movie that makes you cry is certainly a great release.

Haiz... suddenly feeling very weird and nostalgic.. not that i have many memories to think about actually... just the feeling of nostalgia. Please skip this post if u're tired of hearing emo stuff. Originally this blog wasn't set up to pour out my whines.. but I guess once in a while it can be forgiven. =)
First things first, today was a wonderful day except I feel a little guilty for not practicing my piano for at least an hour. Got distracted after playing for just 10 mins or so... And I din do much studying or assignments too. That's because today was Roy and Christine's wedding! The 2 people in the world I truly believe are 100% compatible. Each of them a gift from God to the other. Yeap. And I myself felt quite good and pretty after doing up my hair at the hairdresser in Bukit TImah Shopping Centre. My 1st time there actually and I thought it would be a disaster but it turned out better than expected! And I wore a maroon 'langa' Indian outfit today. It was originally purchased for my brother's wedding 3 years ago but I didn't wear it for his big day in the end. So today was my 1st time wearing it too. Not bad.. Everyone said it was pretty. =)
Haha.. just realised that I started this post really emo-like but so far it's been on quite a happy note. Well, the big day was great.. the performance by the choir was touching, the children - enjoyable, the friends - wonderful. It's just so great to know that we have so many loving brothers and sisters that can really be our true friends, who go all out to make this wedding a success.
Yup. So anyway, came home and started looking for pens. Recently, all my pens have ended their life span. So it's been quite annoying. Will have to make a trip down to Popular to load up on my ammunition. ( The pen is mightier than the sword) hehe.. Ok lame.
So while I was ransacking my drawers, I saw the 2 white feather pens that he gave me. Surprisingly, the ink still runs. Naturally, I thought of stuff.. and then I turned on my computer to check my e-mail. Who knows... I received a message from FB. Apparently, he sent a msg telling me not to put my hp no. on my wall besides saying hi. Hmm.. u know it's always funny how when you think of something, or someone, then somehow u will keep encountering those things/people in that period of your life (like pregnant women beginning of this year when I was doing a project topic on pregnancy and my sister-in-law got pregnant after that; then matchmaking and marriages too...it's just so weird.. wonder if there's some theory to explain this phenomenon).
Anyway, he must think I'm desperate. Haiz. I forgot to delete the no. but I did ask N to tell me once he had noted it so we could organise our class gathering more easily. Anyway, I should be happy for the both of them and look forward. After all, God will reward me (just as he did R&C) as long as I persevere and concentrate on the more important things.

This seems to be the season for weddings. And it seems that I have the potential to be a wedding helper. Just last Saturday, I was privileged to help out in K&M's big day; first, as a chauffeur for the helpers to and fro and second, as some sort of bridal assistant, trailing behind the bride to carry her gown, collecting ang pao on her behalf, trying to give her encouragement and calm her nerves, etc. I must say it's very tiring but rewarding.
Right after K&M's big day, I was invited to be involved in R&C's upcoming wedding. Just came home from the briefing, in fact. This time, I'm supposed to be the chauffeur for the helpers again, also arranging of the tables and chairs at Fort Canning, and finally the receptionist. I feel so honored to be helping out yet I wonder if I'll be able to cope with not getting enough rest these past few weeks. Been feeling very tired. Not that I've been studying very much, just accumulated lack of sleep from staying up late I guess. Anyway, all the weddings have been giving me stuff to think about if I ever do get married...
I think I prefer Buffet style.
Maybe somewhere either really classy or a simple romantic evening outside in tune with nature under big tents or something.
Have both families look at the guest list and table seating arrangement in advance.
I think a bride should get enough rest so earliest she should wake up (if she can sleep at all) should be 8am.
Dinner should be early so it won't end later than 10pm.
Treat all helpers and thank them sincerely through cards or some other means.
Don't invite people I don't like.
If need be, have 2 dinners, one for people I really like, with performances, dance and songs; another for people who need to be invited for formality's sake like relatives who are not so close.
Do away with the groom coming to pick the bride up and then going to the wedding venue. It's just too troublesome and I don't see the need for it.
Have a reliable bridesmaid, a responsible Director of feast and a trustworthy best man.
Have fun during the wedding! After all, it's your big day! You should be happy and not let anyone else spoil it for you.
Yup. I guess that's all for now. Anyway, there's still a long road ahead till I meet THE ONE. Haha... Back to watching K-drama! Tata!
