Man in the Mirror was originally sung by the King of Pop - Michael Jackson and re-sung by Lee Hom.
I like the way Lee Hom incorporate the chinese intrument "Er-hu" in this music. The soothing "Er-hu" background further add in some "flavour" and make it nicer.
Lee Hom is such a talented artist! <3
I like this particular part:
"If you wanna make the world
A better place,
Take a look at yourself,
and then make a change"
Treat people the way you want to be treated. Ironically, we might not get the same treat back, but at least we have done our part. It's true that how people will treat us is beyond our control, but do not let this thinking refrains yourselves from being good to others. Imagine if everybody thinks in that way, how this world is going to be?

We are an "Air Supported Structure" !
Chocolates from ~ Chloe ~ at 12:54 AMMy Professor asked me a very interesting question.
"Do you know what is air-supported structure?"
"Erm, no. I know water-supported structure."
"It's very simple. U know hot air balloon? It's an air-supported structure!"
"....., oh ok."
"Do you know that human is actually an air-supported structure too?"
"Uhh.. What?!" And my expression was like, o_o
Then he explained to me. Human is actually so called "air-supported", because we cannot stand with our skeleton alone. Our skeleton is actually supported by the air that we breathe in. The air that occupy our stomach and air that flowing in our blood in the form of Oxygen, are actually supporting our body.
I think this is a very interesting topic. I tried to search on the internet about this but I couldn't find anything that saying human is supported by air pressure in human body. Nevertheless, I think I believe that and I agree to him to a certain extent. Imagine how a single skeleton stands on its own?! It's not possible! We are not aware of that and we always think that we are supported by our skeleton. In fact skeleton needs to be supported by air as well.
We talked about other things as well and I really gained a lot from our conversation. He is a very smart professor and he knows a lot. I think he must have read "万卷书" (10 thousands rolls - the books in the past were in rolls) Haha.. He knows not only Civil Engineering, but any other fields like science, maths, technology, programming, astronomy, religion etc. He is a "有智慧的老人家" =)
He said: "Don't always think in a conventional way. Think out of the box and you will discover something new. The world is changing. People must be innovative."

At least, I feel better now...
Chocolates from ~ Chloe ~ at 7:42 PMContinued from previous post: I don't want to be an evil person...
It was actually about the peer review form that I filled in for the design project. The peer reivew form is something that you evaluate the performance of your groupmates on their contribution in the project.
So what I did was I gave a bad review on my group leader. The group leader was actually pre-selected, but not through election by groupmates. So to me, I don't think my group leader is a good leader. She was not experienced in planning for execution of project and she actually annoyed me a lot with her questions that I think she was supposed to know, like project meeting time and who is supposed to in charge on what. These things are supposed to be planned by a leader, which I am not in this case. She didn't do her job well in coordinating us and we coordinated ourselves most of the time.
I almost rejected her in whatever she said and I really don't like her acting cute attitude in front of guys. yes, she is pretty but she likes to act cute. I just don't like pretty girls that like to act cute in front of guys. And the most important thing is, she didn't contribute much to the project. So, the result was I gave her bad comments on the peer review form.
But strangely, I didn't feel good at all after handing in the peer review form. I felt myself is like an evil person and trying to penalise her, and she might get poor grade because of that! I was feeling so bad... I think I shouldn't be so cared about her attitude as it will not have any consequences on me after all. Also, it was not her fault for being inexperienced to be a leader. This is her first time and she might do better for her second time. Though she didn't contribute much to the project, she indeed has contributed her part as well. So I really feel so bad for being that 'cruel' to her...
I decided to send email to my prof and explained to him about this, hoping that I could change the condition. I will definitely be blaming myself if I were the one that cause her grade to be low.
Finally my prof replied to my email already today. And I am happy that he said he will reconsider about it, and explained to me how they will use the peer review form. I am happy coz he didn't just ignore my email but still explain to me patiently. I really appreciate that...
I am feeling better now.. At least, I still manage to change the condition, like I am turning back time. Of course, I hope that I will think carefully when doing something, and don't always regret of the thing that I have done.
====================================================
Went for the first dance lesson today. I am aching all over again now.. I think it's because I overstretch my leg when doing warm up. The instructor came and pressed our back and I really felt my muscle being stretched and it was so painful!!! >.<''
I quickly applied Dr.Joint Pain after I came back. It works well in relieving muscle pain. I used that before after my volleyball training last time and my muscle pain really reduce a lot the next day. The pain that I am having right now is more serious that I had last time, and feel like swelling Arrgghhh :'(
The song that we learned today was "I Stay In Love' by Mariah Carey. It's a nice song =)

A crazy shopping spreeeeeee
Chocolates from ~ Chloe ~ at 9:05 PMGot my pay today from my boss! Yay! It's SGD536 and I am so excited about it hahha
I was thinking to go and buy Toto just now and see whether my first pay will bring me luck to win or not today. Hehe! But I went to shopping at Bugis and didn't manage to catch a Toto outlet before 7pm. If I were to buy, I will put a 9 in front and make it 9536. Haha.. 9 is my mummie's lucky number :D
I have never tried buying Toto using my own money before, I only ever helped my mum to buy. How is the feel of stricking Toto ah? haha :P
Yeah, I went to Bugis after I got the paid and had a crazy shopping spree! Haha it was so exciting to shop at Bugis street coz the things there are simply too cheap! I only earn $536 today la.. SO can only go to Bugis, but not any other high end shopping centre.. Nevertheless, the level of happiness and satisfaction is enough for me to high until I sleep tonight! :P
Well, I bought 3 tops, 1 handbag, a handphone pouch, a necklace and a watch. The watch is very fancy and I like it very much, and it's only 5 dollars! lol.. Don't expect it to last very long, just thought that it's very special and it was the only piece on the rack when I saw that. So I quickly grab it without a second thought. :P
After getting the pay today, I will be stop working there already.. Will be very busy from next week onwards for FYP.. A bit sad :(
Bz Bz Bz.. Never ending busy life of year 4!
But I will still find way to enjoy my life hahah.. Will be going for another KTV session with classmates on this Sunday! Looking forward to Sunday Yay!! It will be another crazy night out yo! And it will only cost us 10 bucks for this session coz one of our friends has vouchers! Woohoo
I will be joining dance also this semester, start from tomorrow. Have to do some dancing to relieve the stress haha.. Looking forward to tomorrow as well! :D
But have to pay 100 bucks for 10 sessions! So effectively will be 10 bucks per session.
Hmz.. hope it will be a useful one to make my HARD earn money worth..
Arrgghh my $536 is now left with $436, further deduct $54 from shopping just now then it becomes $382. Have to fork out another $26 to buy safety boots for lab work somemore, and I am now left with $356! MONEY NOT ENOUGH!!! >.<

I don't want to be an evil person...
Chocolates from ~ Chloe ~ at 3:51 PMI have done something that makes me feel that i am an evil person.
I thought I am a noble person. I thought I won't do bad thing to others. But I did, and I just did. I don't know what I was thinking at that time. What I knew was I was annoyed with her attitude. I just don't like whatever thing that she says and does. I just can't accept her.
I don't know what impact will she have. I don't know whether she will know about that. What I know is that I don't feel good at all after I have done that!
If I were given a chance to turn back time, will I do that? I was wondering...
I was actually given a chance this morning that I could revert everything. But I did it again. I guess there must be something wrong inside me...
Now I really can't change anything anymore, there is no way I could turn back time.
After giving a careful thought to the problem, I think what she says and does didn't affect me much actually. Why would I care so much about that? Why I still did that to her?
I am afraid there will be somebody appears in the future and do the same thing to me, 'karma' people call it.
I am regret on what I have done now. Really, I am so sorry about that...
Why? Why am I keep regreting of the thing that I have done. I wish I could be more rational before doing thing.
Where is the angel? It seems like the evil dominates my thinking right now...
I don't wish to be evil... Really...
