Leaving On A Jet Plane

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Some photos

haha! this blog is too wordy aldy... so i've decided to put some photos up, dun faint!

scary...

Some quotes

Was browsing thru some blogs today and i came across something rather meaningful...

"有人说，迁就不是爱；我说，为了爱而迁就可以很幸福 。然而，当你觉得迁就有点辛苦时，那可能表示爱已经减少。"

"有人说，努力不一定就有收获；我说，要有收获一定要努力。只是，当你觉得收获远比不上付出的努力时，那可能表示你努力的方式或对象错了。"

"有得必有失。当你觉得你获得什么时，你肯定失去了什么。当你觉得缺少什么时，其实你已经拥有一些了。"

taken from TV News presenter - Dong Su Hua's blog. when i read these sentences, it somehow reminds me of certain things.. certain things that only lives in my memory now.

看了看, 想了想... 我觉得挺有意思的... 其实最近心里七上八下的, 很不是滋味, 而原因不是很清楚, 也许是我不想让它很清楚. 也许我当初所做的决定和这些字句很有关系. 有失必有得吧... 虽然我知道决定是对的, 但遗憾还是难免的... 我也知道自己会带着这个遗憾走下去... 我不想面对... 可能吧, 回忆总是会比较美的.

Packing packing packing....

Aiyoh... juz went to purchase a super big luggage yest. enuff to fit Romaine in comfortably. Anyway, started to pack my stuff proper n my room is in the messiest state ever! and i mean EVER! n gosh... i dunnoe how am i going to squeeze everything inside... i dun wan to roll 2 big luggages, so most prob i will juz bring the big 1 n another smaller, soft case 1. this is scary... i am practically bring my room over to SH.



My mum kept commenting on wat i shld n shldnt b bring lor.. pengz... ask me bring 1 pair of shoes over only... muz as well ask me go bare footed la! then when i say how can i b bringing 1 pair only.. like tat how to live... she started throwing her tantrum again! i really cannot tahan anymore lor...



Well, the date is drawing really near... anticipating? excited? anxious? worried? lost? i can say its a mixture of everything... hmm...

M1 = Maddening 1!

I am so angry with M1 now! the customer service really cannot make it... going frm bad to worse aldy... they die also dun let me suspend the line temperorily... ok, fine i know it was one of the terms in the contract tat i signed. but i encountered this CSO really rude lor... forget it, i dun wan to repeat the story if nt i will get so angry again.

Anyway, most likely i will juz terminate M1's line after my contract will be up in 3 mths time. damn shitty service with no privilages given to me b4. to think i was their employees for quite a while... wah lao..

I will still bring my line over to SH to use for 2 more mths... n frm wat i noe, there wont b extra charges if u all sms me to my sg line even when i am there. so peeps who wan to kajiao me can sms my m1 line la... but take note most likely i wont reply 1.

last by nt least... crappy m1... bleah

Messy room, messy mind

Finally tried packing my stuff today but gosh, wat a mess i've made. for the 1st time in my life, i feel i have so many clothes lor... haha... realised i have quite a few clothes for office as well but now i need a jacket for work la... think i'll juz borrow frm my sis. anyway, my room is in a big mess now! hahaha...

Really dun dare to look at the count down timer at the side... somehow, i am getting more n more anxious aldy... couldnt picture myself being in SH leh... hmm.. there are a lot of undertainties also.. well, hope everything will work out fine in the end.

I will be going to Fudan Uni afterall as all my housemates will b there. Also, highly likely i will b staying in 1 room by myself n hopefully i wont hav to pay too much for it. the housing stuff still havent confirm, so frustrating!

Well, tats all the updates for today...

Some-trouble? Trouble-some?

Pengz... y r there seemingly 101 things i hav to do??? this China thing is troublesome man... alamak! shld i go to the hatch egg uni or the traffic uni? hahaha... no la... cos i am suppose to choose frm the 2 unis in SH to attend, either Fudan Uni or Jiao Tong Uni. both r one of the most reputable unis in China n almost equal in reputation. Fudan seems to hav longer tradition n history but Jiao Tong is nearer to the city central n heard its more slack than Fudan. gosh.. dilemma again... damn!

N y is the attachment office soooooooo troublesome 1... wan me to update this data sheet which i hav aldy updated 2 times for the China programme! wah kaoz.... i see the sheet i almost faint... n its nt short lor.. its like a resume kinda thing... stupid!

Jabby sore

Took 3 jabs today... ouch! This is for the vaccination ya... 1 for flu, 1 for ATT and 1 for Typhoid. flu flu pls go away! Well, finally done with the XRAY n hopefully the insurance can b settled soon. decided to take NTUC Income's travel insurance... it has no minimum amt of medical claim so i've decided to take tat 1.

Wanted to start packing aldy but realised most of the things r hard to pack cos i may still need them for the nex 3 weeks. hai... time is ticking close n i hav developed this mixed feelings inside of me suddenly. this better b good.... better b better b...

COUGH... Go AWAY

Crap... i hav this stupid cough that i cant stop! *cough* *cough* *cough*

It can nv come at a worse time... juz 1 mth b4 i leave for shanghai... ARGH! Heard the air there is super bad... oh no... think i'll sure fall sick over there... aiyoh..

Settling . Unsettling

Alrighty, juz collected my VISA frm the China Embassy. Gosh, they r really nt the most customer oriented ppl ard... i'm wondering how can i stand such attitude if most of the ppl in Shanghai is like tat.... U cant even argue with them or scold them cos they simply wont bother abt u then u'll be left looking like a stupid fool.

Anyway, done with Visa and grping for accomodation... hope can get a gd house in Pudong area, that is 1 near the train line 2 which will reach my company in Puxi, city area. Will b staying with another girl and 2 other guys who are all much younger than me. think i am the old lady in the entire grp...

Went for my medical checkup yest... ah damn! i was sick so i cannot take my vaccinations and hav to wait till nex week to go back n do it again. bad timing bad timing! anyway... managed to meet some of the ppl going over to Shanghai together.. so ya, nt bad at all la...

What is there left to do? hmm... aldy make a booking for my air tickets $1050 for return tickets within 6mths time. steep? ya.. hell it is but i got no choice.. its the cheapest i can get aldy.

Insurance: hmm... still havent decide between AIG and NTUC. AIG is more exp but the lady claimed its better cos it cover illness claim as well but the payables for NTUC is higher despite a lower premium price. dunnoe leh... need to ask ard liao...

The rest is packing aldy... seems like i got quite a lot of things to pack n bring over leh.. think it'll b like moving house for me aldy... hahaa.. sure over the 30kg limit.. damn... better start packing soon.

Anyway, this count down timer is rather scary u noe... alamak... time is running out fast!

1st post - The Lion and the Pearl

Hey peeps! this is the 1st post for the blog dedicated to my adventure to the Oriental Pearl place - Shanghai!

Let me see... now i've got approximately 35 days before i leave the lion city for the pearl place and i'm starting to feel the excitement and uncertainty aldy. at 1st, i hav loads of uncertainty and some fear bcos i am going alone with no frenz ard. however, now i've found a room mate and some other frenz who are also other students going for this programme in Shanghai, i felt much better. we talked a lot on msn and i find them quite nt bad to hang with. well, hope we all can hav fun la... hee...

But before July 9th, the day i will leave, i still have loads to do... Visa, air ticket, medical checkup, insurance, accomodation, money issue, the packing and most importantly, the need to get myself ready for the trip.

Actually, i also dunnoe y i sign on to this programme, maybe the thought of leaving SG at tat time was really too great. now, i suddenly feel like i will miss all the frenz here, my family, muffin and well... ya.. ppl who are impt to me. albeit i will miss them definitely, but i feel the trip is a good way to make me learn some independance and get some freedom! u all can ensure there will be more mixed feelings inside of me as the date draws nearer... now, i'm breaking the news to all my frenz... and yes, i will miss a lot of things; 11 birthdays, fren's wedding and christmas! oh no... and so the time to meet for farewell dinner n dates has come...

Nonetheless, i will treasure the 30-odd days b4 i leave this lion place... erm... keep in touch with me via msn, email or this blog. i will also post my contact number and address here shortly after they hav been confirmed. hope i hav the time and desire to update this blog regularly ba, so ya, keep checking back ok?
