If i walk, would you run?
If i stop, would you come?
If i say you're the one, would you believe me?
If i ask you to stay, would you show me the way?
Tell me what to say so you don't leave me.
The world is catching up to you
While you're running away to chase your dream
It's time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
And maybe i'm not ready

Chorus
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

If i sing you a song, would you sing along?
Or wait till i'm gone, oh how we push and pull
If i give you my heart would you just play the part
Or tell me it's the start of something beautiful.
Am i catching up to you?
While your running away to chase your dreams
It's time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
And maybe i'm not ready

Chorus
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come
If i say you're the one would you believe me

spotlight having a one-day-only 20% sale off everything today!! just went down to ps from school and swiped 6 yarn balls off the shelves. better quality than the ones i got the last time, plus the 100% wool is machine washable!! yayy and got a new 5.5mm crochet hook too. lalala

giving myself a break from the books, giving the left side of my brain a break and right side of it a good exercise. hahaha :D

randomnessss again. heehee

been pondering over this since lunch: my mummy always tells me that getting drenched in the rain lowers a person's immunity. how so? by catching a cold from being cold is it? hahahaha

haha stupid question, lame poke. i need a hot shower.

i made the most major decision in my engineering studies so far. hahaha i made it sound so serious >.<

anyway exxonmobil really accepted me! but i decided to reject this offer and just go for merck. haha afterall, there are only 6 interns there at merck so maybe it might put me in advantage next time when i apply to work in pharma companies? hahaha besides, the one exxon offered me was a marketing one, which is wholly different from the job scope at merck. i guess i really wanna get into pharma more than marketing in the future. future karin, think future, dont think abt the $400 difference in allowance. DON'T.

now the next step is to convince myself tt i wont regret this decision and go go go!! 决定了就不要再想！

turns out that the interview was reallly intense. im glad i went for it, its really quite an experience. 8 engineers on the interview panel, and ALL of us in the same time slot went in for a mass interview. so its like a 8-11 kind of interview.

it wasnt scary until it reaches your turn. (plus i already got merck so it was more like listening to a group of students selling themselves to the interviewers.) when it was finally my turn to speak, (i was the last one to speak in the whole group of 11 cos i happen to sit the end of the row) i think the engineers were really bored so they werent really listening to me anymore.

its really pretty interesting how people can boast abt themselves during an interview. i learnt quite a bit throughout the 2 hours of sitting in and listening. female engineers are not to be trifled with and 9 out of 10 engineers want an engineering-related job in exxon. (i'm the only one on the supply and marketing side.. :S) and and and, never talk too much abt your cca achievements in school, my friend saw one of the female engineers looking away and rolling her eyes when the prc went on and on abt his achievements in his chinese drama production.

one thing is, i told one of the interviewers that i got accepted by merck and he actually said he's very keen on taking me in to be one of his interns (the marketing one) so he will let me decide. oh my oh my. but i already know of a few friends who wants to be in the marketing side so actually i guess my chance of getting accepted is slim. (half of me is hoping not to be accepted cos it will minus the dilemma, half of me wants them to accept me. oh my oh my)

shall go take a short nap before i start studying for my two mid (quarter?) term exams next week. :(

<--hahah :)

eversince i started crochet around middle of this year, i couldn't stop thinking abt it! been thinking of making so many different types of crochet crafts.

since i've already made a scarf and bib, i decided to move on to other type of winter warmers. and being a beginner, i decided i shall not be too ambitious and ta-da! i have decided the next pattern to work on: A CROCHET SLIPPER! :D



www.ehow.com/how_4994969_slipper-crochet.html

Just started trying out the pattern using scarp yarn from the previous projects, on my way to making the first sock/ slipper! :D

i just received the Industrial Attachment confirmation email from NUS.

the interview was successful yayyyyy. i got the place in merck :D:D

but then again, the HR personnel whom i talked to told me there werent really many who applied for my position (pharm engineer) in the first place.. so it was already more or less decided that i will be the one taking up this position.

this rocks. i cant believe it. one hit and go. i cant believe it.

my interviewer (aka my future pharm engineer supervisor) is really nice too. he more or less told me what he expected out of the internship and he even told me he's fine with me studying during my working hours (he called it library breaks haha).

i really cannot believe it. it all happened too quickly haha.

will still go for the exxonmobil interview next thursday tho, its for the experience. and who knows, maybe i will decide that $400 is a large difference in allowance. hahah (it is lah, hor)

my first step in the pharmaceutical engineering arena. yayyy

interview with MSD on friday... NERVOUS!
helppp meee any pre-interview tips?? :D

decided to change my default userpic, the last change took place almost two years ago :X

decided i have so much things to do this coming holidays! the list is currently in my poddie! can't wait to actually work on them but that is provided if i survive the semester. losing steam quickly, managed to pass separations test by 0.5 mark and failed my mathematical methods by 2 marks ): D: O:

this is NOT GOOD. ahhh and the worst thing is the cohort's doing pretty well.. gotta buck up. hope to get as many B pluses and A's as i can manage this sem cos i probably wont get any other chance like this to put my cap up :((

hope the process dynamics one would be better.

I MUST WORK HARD I MUST WORK HARD I MUST WORK HARD. won't say no to outings tho, haha, they are the only reason why i'm still very much alive :((

MSD PLEASE REPLY ME SOON.PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ME FOR AN INTERVIEW AND THAT YOU WANT TO RECRUIT ME IN YOUR NEXT BATCH OF INTERNS. I DONT MIND THE PAY JUST LET ME BE IN YOUR COMPANY AND HOPEFULLY OFFER ME PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT. if not i might have to send out cover letters and resumes to source for other pharma companies outside. :(

sigh please let me have the power to make it through this semester smoothly without any more glitches :(

Failed to make it for MAF for the first time since graduation. I guess it's inevitable, things have changed quite significantly. And it's james' birthday dinner too, wouldn't want to miss it.. There's always a first isn't it? Just hope that next year I would be able to find the time to go back hc for maf! Ah I'm really getting older.. Somehow I seem to be lacking enthusiam for many things that I used to be passionate about. Sigh.

Leslie is leaving for Warwick in about a week's time. It's kinda hard not to feel sad about it, no matter how many times I tell myself there's nothing to be sad about. He is afterall, doing stuff he will enjoy! Warwick's got the nicest castle in the whole of England, and the course sounds interesting (as compared to engineering, ppe really sounds so much better :D). What's more, you get to tour Europe! That's definitely a plus :) people in Warwick should be really nice too.. It's a nice change I would say :) so Leslie if you're reading this, feel more excited about starting school and getting to know people okay! You will see many many international students and remember to have fun admist the books and notes okay! :)

Hmmm sometimes I really wonder what it will be lIike if I get to study overseas too. Sometimes I wish I can be studying in the same school with my other half, going to school and studying
together sounds great :) having English breakfast once a week sounds really enticing! Then again, if I had studied abroad, I probably wouldn't have the chance to attend social night, needless to say, the commissioning ball. Everything would have taken a drastic change haha. I may not be enjoying school now, but the times I had with 4e7 and Leslie over the past two years were priceless :) apart from school, I'm really happy and contented with what I have now!

I will take the next nine months as a test to this relationship, and I know we can make it! It's gonna get tough but we can do it! Jiayouuuuuu! Hahaha and I promise I won't cry at the airport ( at least try not to). It's a happy occasion afterall :)

jiayouuuuuu jiayouuuuuu fighting fighting go go go! :)

first entry in 2 months (again)

my blogging has become soooo inconsistent and irregular but i do read my friends' pages yah! so in case u girls (and 2 boys haha) do post up anything, i still read them okay! hmm hope everyone is doing fine!

ohh and i saw 张老师 the other day. hahah happy! *feeling rather guilty again abt the video.. ><

yat: hope u're having a greatttt time! i miss ur yatty voice! ><
princess kailing: ur entries always sound so delicious. the porky treat! :)
ditzy: say want to meet until now havent meet up yet. brr
justine: pok when will u be flying off this time???
yahting, awyong: going for maf? :D
fel:oh man im really out of touch with 75. didnt see u at alllll this summer. hope u are doing well and jiayou with sch!
nagek:　お元気ですか。 didnt get to see the class at all this whole time..even when u were back to surprise us!! :(

im very ill-informed these days so even if i dont blog, u guys out there, PLEASE BLOG MORE :D so that i can find out moarr!

ohh and to rongrong: how's settling in penn? or are u still in japan?!

ah already 3rd week into school. no more holidays jiadi! gotta start studying already :X
turning 21 soon >.< gonna say goodbye to awkward twenteen soon!

lala first entry in two months. finally decided to log in to my lj accound and start writing a proper entry. (proper? haha i hope so!)

been quite sick for the past week, down with some flu bug that wont go away (dont worry though, its not H1N1, thank goodness). didnt go to work this week (and wont be going the next week too) so its a major stay-in-at-home-and-be-a-otaku. didnt watch as many japanese dramas as i thought i would though, wii caught up and i decided wii's more fun. haha played House of the Dead with my eldest sister and she really liked tt game (all the gore and blood, lol) she didnt expect wii to have such life-like games; she was expecting all mario-karty games. but then again mario kart is fun. oh my im rambling again.

july is coming, oh man, and that means school's gonna start really soon too. two months' worth of holidays just went past can you believe it? :S i can't at least. kaisiang and some of the guys are thinking of planning a taiwan trip this coming july but its really too close to school already, and 7 days seemed kinda long. (i know i know, but taipei is the only place i really want to go so 4 days of taipei should be enough for me.) and at least me and the other nus folks could still come back in time for bidding. i know we could just bring a laptop over, but its just too troublesome i guess. i would really wanna shop so bringing a laptop over is just going to take up my luggage space. haha

oh and mj is dead at 50. i was really shocked and stunned when i saw the news. i think i was stunned for at least one minute. its just tooo sudden already. its just kinda weird now that he's dead. no more new songs from the pop legend, no more world tours, no more mj. its just funny thinking about it. i think that's what death does to the living. even if i dont really know mj personally nor do i listen to his stuff (except for the really really popular and the really really catchy ones like beat it) but yea, i still feel a little sad, just like everyone else (i think)

man, this cough of mine is getting a little irritating. shall go play a little sims for now. take care everyone, and update more okay!

its really embarrassing but i thought it was pretty funny too. gross kind of funny.
i threw up while taking bus 96 out of school today. it was 4pm and usually the buses are not tt packed at that time but alas, somehow the Higher Being behind the heavens wants more people to witness this unglam event. >.<

it actually started in the morning. i woke up with a headache, and i thought, well its just pure lack of sleep so i didnt really care and tried to do my assignment. went to school and was early so i went on to finish my assignment (spent like 2 hours? just getting it done. copying >.<)

went for my LAST lab session for this semester! (it was supposed to be a merry event..but my headache only made me feel miserable.) waited for the viva in charge to ask us some questions, before we could go home. fought the urge to yawn during viva lah, i wanted so badly to yawn in front of the prof.. :S tired. then we went separate ways, me going home and em had to continue to do her group project (our projects due tmr >.<) so i went on to take 96 and saw sister yang. sister's my savior lah. if not for his DFS plastic bag, i think i would have puked on someone and the bus captain will hate me and i will incur the wrath of everyone around me on the bus >.< and the strepsils too, that made me feel slightly better.

sigh.what a day. cant wait for the weekend! long one this week, but it just means more deadlines approaching :(

*edit: my friends page is super interesting. Three different persons in japan, talking abt the same things yet they sound so different. different perspectives :P flame_angel88 , na9ek and holyknight17 , thanks for giving me a chance to reminisce the days i had in japan! :P

*gives myself a congratulatory handshake.

i passed my grade 8 exam! but it really wasnt impressive, i just made it to the 100 bar.
