loving her

LOOK HERE. dun take girls for granted. u don't know what they haf done for u. Love the girl in your heart, not in your mind. If you base your relationship on feelings, it will fail for there are ups & downs in feelings. Girls are there to be loved, not toyed around.

Love her for who she is. Don't even think about changing any bit about her. 6 billion people in this world & 6 billion different personalities. She's special & she will stay that way. You change any part of her, you'll change her forever. Don't substitute her for anyone else, they are just unique in their own ways.

Love whole-heartedly. She sacrificed a lot for you so you'd better really treasure her. She could have just got up & date a so much more dashing guy in town but she chose you instead all because of love. So love her guys, not play with her.Don't just get the girl to beg you to stay or whatsoever. If you're with her, love her.

Don't cause a strain in the relationship, you'll end up loving each other out of pity or charity, that's not respecting love at all. Respect love the way it is & everything will be the best it can be. I've been there & I know how it feels. Don't expect perfection from her. She's the only one in the world & she's done the best she could.

Like another girl while you're in a relationship? Then I think it's time you remain single for a while. Don't go around breaking girls' hearts, it's the most tragic thing to do. Tell the truth, never hide anything from her. If you want her to tell you everything, do the same. Don't go calling other girls "honey" or "darling", how would it feel if your girl calls other guys the same way? Be faithful, enough is enough.

Socialise only when you're single. You socialise & flirt around is to get the girl of your dreams. Get it over when she's already yours, don't ask for more.

It never kills to be romantic. Think, be flexible.Getting that diamond ring isn't the only gift for her. Be realistic, she's human & she lives life just like you. Something sweet & simple always get the job done.

Money doesn't exist between couples, it's the love.

Never promise her that you'll love her forever because your forever might end the next day.Love her as if each day is the last.

Sweet talking only applies for singles, not for attached guys. Do that & you'll really break your girl's heart.

It isn't good being too well-known too, it'll give her a sense of insecurity. Remember, INSECURITY.

Promise her & make sure you never break the promise. Swear to her & make sure you live up to your word. Pledge your love to her & her alone.

Loving her is giving her your heart to break it but trusting her not to. Same goes for her,giving u her heart means allowing u to break it and trusting u not to. Instead, she'll cherish it & protect it. Shouldn't you do the same thing as well? That's love.

Give her your heart, your life, your everything. Lay down your life & prepare to die for her when the need arises. But stay strong & live through another day, she can never live without you.

Never, ever walk out of her life. She won't just cry her heart out & carry on living as per normal, she'd die.

Its her heart that you've broken, how would you ever know how she feels?

Winning a girl's heart isn't the final victory. Don't leave her once you've won her love. Love her all the way till the end of time, love her till marriage, love her till old age, love her till death. If you can love her till the end of time, you've earned the honor & respect for you've truly loved her.

She chose you because she believes that you can fulfil your promise. Win her heart & love her over.

failed pump

arrrrrrgh crap.

the pump which i've been working on for this whole academic year failed. It failed the leak test. The three possible reasons given by the co-ordinator of this programme for all the failed pumps are:
1. The pump is seized, the impeller will not turn.
2. The Bearing housing diameter is over-sized and will not fit the test rig.
3. There is an excessive water leak (usually through the bearing housing)

After looking through the detailed but not that obvious evaluation of my group's pump test, it seems like the problem is either the 2nd or 3rd reason stated. Bah... no matter wat, it failed. =(

Hmm... even though half of the module's marks is allocated to this entire pump tingy, I am sad not mainly because i'm worried of the possibililty of failing my coursework... i am sad because the pump couldn't work!!!!! The pump we spent so much time and effort in doing for the whole academic yr..... ='( why... WHY!!!!! *sob*

yumyum

After Lionel mentioned about the 'Three ingredient cookbook' that jac has, I went to search for it and yes!! I found it!! haha... actually didn't take much effort since i wasn't really looking for it, juz trying my luck at the book shelf only.. =P

and oh my gosh.... i cant believe i actually spent half an hour looking thru tat book!! oh man... honey mustard chicken, sticky glazed pork ribs, smoked salmon and chive omelette, chilli-spiced chicken wings are juz some of the main dishes that caught my eyes. What's more tempting are the desserts!!! chocolate fudge sauce, coffee ice cream, chocolate banana fools(a damn fattening choc+custard drink), chocolate crispy cookies, portuguese custard tarts, chocolate brownie milkshake, warm pancakes with caramelized pears, etc... oh no... i'm drooooling oredi!!! hahaha... =P

omg... i'm soooo gonna try making some of these when i've nothing better to do. jac..lend me the book after my exams k??? if i succeed then u all will get to eaaaat!!! muahahahaha.... that is IF i did succeed lar. -_-" the bad thing is some of these require the use of an oven, but the one in my house is spoilt. =( will try the ones which dun need oven then... yummy yummy yummy!!!!

haha... but tat remains to be seen?? i might juz b sooo slack after my exams that i couldn't be bothered to try making them... haha... so... *fingers crossed* as for my progress so far... hmm... with 5 more days of holidays, pump testing and report to be written when sch starts, many of my tutorials still not done, a pile of 5cm tall past-yr papers not touched, i have 1/3 of my notes down. is that good???

smtg i found out by 'researching' on a fren's msn nick:

Sadie Hawkins Day

It's the first Saturday in November and you're a single girl at home watching television. Well, don't just sit there, go out and find a man! Why? It's Sadie Hawkins Day!
According to American folk tradition, Sadie Hawkins' Day affords WOMEN the opportunity to ask out a MAN! Although not an uncommon practice today, when this method of dating was suggested in the latter part of the 1930s, it caused quite a stir. This event made its debut in Al Capp's "Little Abner" comic strip on November 13, 1937. One of Capp's most memorable characters, a homely gal named Sadie Hawkins got tired of waiting for men to come a'courtin. Her father, Hekzebiah Hawkins--a wealthy and powerful man, was even more concerned that Sadie would never leave home and become an old maid. As Mayor of Dogpatch, he decreed "Sadie Hawkins Day" and held a footrace in which the unmarried girls pursued the town's most eligible bachelors. All the single men were given a short head start and the prize for the women who caught their man was, of course, matrimony. Sadie, of course, with her big, fast-movin' feet, got hers.
This comical event soon jumped off the cartoon page and into the real world. The first Sadie Hawkins Day dance took place on November 9, 1938. By 1939, over 200 Sadie Hawkins' Day dances had been documented. And, this tradition went on strong for over four decades and can still be found today!

temporary pet

haha.... in the Monica way.. 'I know!!' =P this is another entry just one day after announcing my absence from my blog. haha.... please dun be mistaken k... even though the 'announcement' was made on an April Fool's Day (did u realize?), i WASN'T joking!!! haha... it just so happened that I really feel like blogging about this today.

Because just now in the afternoon, I finally stopped giving excuses and did what i wanted to do since Tuesday. I gave Wallace and Darwin (they are jac's goldfish if u hafen met them...) a clean home!!!! took me one full hour man.... or more than that? i didn't keep track of the time. hahaa... just know i spent a long long time in the kitchen. cleaning and scrubbing every single slippery stuff - the filter, the sponge inside the filter, the little pot(?) inside the tank, and of cos the tank itself. YuCkS... all the algae and duno what else... touching them gives me the creep!! haha... then, i tried to clean the little blue pebbles as well... clean, as in remove the shit hidden in them. hmm... big headache. spent quite a loong time and many small pebbles lost their way down the sink. =X have decided that as long as I have to clean up their home, they shall not have any more pebbles to play with, by 'gobbling' and spitting out again like food, when they are bored. (jac, dun mind?)

oh oh oh! erm... i oso overcome a little fear in me! hee... I used my hand to transfer the fishes from one tank to another when changing water!!! heh... yes.. I was scared of coming into contact with the fishes. >_< Especially just now when i finally mustered enough courage to put my hand into the tank, one of them was so afraid and swam around in a fluster! it didn't know i became more flustered than it by doing that!! haha... but yalah, calmed myself down and 不管三七二十一，trapped the fish to a corner so that it couldn't swim away and then carefully cupped it into the other bucket. the very first 'touch' of it was scary, didn't expect it to be so hard, thought it should be softer since it looked so fat. hahaa... still, i succeeded!!! actually credits should oso go to them for being so small and looking so cute. hahhaa...

after tat, after cleaning the tank, i decided to let them play a little game - waterfall! haha... i slowly poured the bucket of clean water back into the tank, at the same time wondering if the two fish will swim 'with the flow' and fall down the 'waterfall'!! haha... dun worry, it's not a very high waterfall, it's not a rapid one either, so it's definitely safe. ;) ha.. the two fishes were quite clever (or dumb?) ah... i duno how they sensed that the water was flowing out of the bucket, but when they reached the junction where water was about to flow out, they u-turned and quickly swam in the other direction~ so in the end, there come a pt of time when there were so little water left they almost have to swim horizontally. hahaha... but of cos i couldn't bear to torture them lar, i immediately transferred them into the big pool of water in the tank. ^^

yeah... so that's roughly how i spent 1++ hr. -_-" well... i guess i wouldn't b tat interested in keeping fishes as pet in the near future. haha... not when i haf to do the cleaning. =P
