for everyone

i like soggy fries - fresh hot but soggy, as in those in McDonalds leh...the long long ones but soft and non crsipy ones.

When i go KFC right. i need at least 3/4 bottle of Tomato sauce. oh btw. one of the worse news i've ever heard is apparently one of my friends' friends' friend tends to spit into KFC ketchup bottles whenever he visits KFC.

One of the things i want to do at least once in my life is to become a barista - not for long, just a short while. In a nice little classy/cosy cafe, soft brown lighting, french songs playing, where it smells of coffee and fresh bakes all the time, where ppl are there to enjoy, where the mood is great. I just think that's awfully romantic.

i can be OCD about certain things. like. To do list, has to be arranged from most important to least important. Like earrings - they're classified into super-like, ok, and no-likey-can give away liao. my wardrode is colour coded. i sometimes even count my steps when i walk.

I have a personality ahem. that somehow just manages to bluff every1 into believing that i'm a goody two shoe-responsible-sensible-apple in teachers' eyes- Ah girl ah..y can't u be like Chu Qin- matured thinking kinda person. I can be evil. at times. ha...

Yea...i think i can be extreme. sometimes i like being childish. sometimes i'm grown-up. i can be the cool sister who dances to crazy tunes and play star war fights with my brother and tell tales on my sister etc. Yet sometimes i'm like my sister and brother's mum liddat. always telling them what to do what to avoid wear more clothes dun spend so much money study more make sure u study more study liao still need to do latihan etc.

I am bossy. i want things done my way. y do u think i became a doctor. so that ppl HAVE to listen to what i say. nyak-ah-ah...evil....

I can be considerate. which most of the time i am. really i am. REALLY. (sori, i sot liao today). i am thoughtful, i like thinking into ppl's minds to figure out what they want and try to do it for them. well. for ppl i care about anyway. i love giving ppl surprises. so far there has been quite a few ones that i'm proud of. Not telling u so that u can steal my idea. haha... kidding. ask me in person, i might tell u.

Chu Qin does not share her desserts.

Few philosophies i live by:

~ nothing will ever be perfect, things dun always go the way u want. So just learn to make the best out of things ~

~ No winter lasts forever, just like no spring skips its turn~

~ Ppl can only intimidate u if u allow them to ~

~ Fine i'm not smart. so what? i work hard and i am willing to learn. ~

I rather be the mediocre amongst the bright rather than the bright amongst the mediocre. (hmmm...beginning to feel both sounds the same)

Questions that i wonder(ed) about:

- if life is only 10% laughter and 90% sadness and sufferings, which it is. y is it still worth living? what is the purpose of life?

- y can't i be a singer (i already figured that out, thank you)

Continued (13/10/7)

I can be competitive, well maybe i should say, generally i AM competitive. not in everything, just in things that i care about - studies, career. I dun care about my frens trying to compare who's thin and who's fat and who's wearing the prettiest clothes (well, they're just superficial, but in a funny way...)

Talking about clothes...i am a sucker for comfy stuffs. i value the feel of the material over the design ie if a shirt/pants doesnt look too ugly (well, if i'm paying for it and wearing it out to the streets, i can have somehting grossly oversize or horrendously multi-coloured right? other words, i still do care, somewhat, a bit about the design), even though when i kno i dun have the need for it, or when i kno it's unlikely to look flattering on me, i'd still buy it.

When it comes to problems, i dun belief in fluffing about. my mind tends to go - ok. 1. problem. 2. how to solve it  3. carry out the steps of solving the problem. then 4. bitch about it. I kno this might be the understatement of the year, but hey, i still do see loads of ppl around who just fluff about, argue, get angry, cry which won't contribute towards problem solving at all.

Generally, the way i do things is very objective driven - i would only do it if there's a valid reason and if there's something to be gained.

to be continued. if u have any thoughts about what kind of person u think i am or any funny weird facts about me. feel free to scribble.

Wah!. . . . . why do you need to use 3/4 bottle of ketchup when you eat KFC?. . . . i always thought that people take ketchup to mask the original flavour and as i always like KFC'S original taste, so i never use any ketchup at all. . . . . . .
About your distance friend that like to spit into ketchup's bottle,. . . . . omg!!. . . . and you still dare to take ketchup some more??. . btw i also know a friend that like to spit all the time on to ground. . . . at the interval of at least 5 minutes once, even when he is playing badminton!. . . . but he is much more considerate than your particular distance friend!(^_^)

yea...when i was younger. Ketchup was just heavenly. couldnt live without it. And maybe like my sis said, maybe it's just my family...;p but now that i'm older, i prefer original taste as well...but still. bottomline. fries always have to go with ketchup.

My friend's friend who spits into ketchup in KFC. it's just a bit of wistful thinking, u kno how when u refuse to believe in something, u just kid yourself in a lot of ways like, maybe it's not true leh, maybe he doesnt come to this KFC leh etc...

hee...

xian is right. u are u. u dunit to be like anybody.

I teach u la.The trick to excel in life is to find something you're good at and something that u like and then work towards it. So what if i'm not good in arts or have no brains for physics? i ma focus my effort on Medicine, something which i know i can just mug and mug and mug for and do well la. So what if Paris Hilton is an empty headed blonde (sori. i tried thinking of better/more inspiring examples)? she ma do what she's good at la - dress sui sui and create all the gossips and guess wat, she's making loads out of it.

And finding your niche, is something u have to do on your own. it's a path u need to find. In the process. there may be times u'll feel lost, disoriented, helpless or confused. but there will be ppl around for help (me!) (and the others). Seek resources where appropriate. but ultimately, the responsiblity (to seek help, to motivate urself) and the decision lies upon yourself. The whole journey of getting there, is great fun. u learn as u go along. and when u get there, (to be honest, this might be a bit of anticlimax), u will still continue to learn. but most importantly, the sense of reassurance (that u've found your path) and the confidence u will gain, will help u enjoy the journey even more.

i'm beginning to sound a bit too philosophical for my own liking, oso a bit doubtful of whether u'll be able to comprehend. anyway. take care! love!

I got to admit that not everyone can find a job they like, find a job which that related to what his/her interest. I think balancing is important. Learn how to love your job that's the initial stage, if really can't accept, than switch to another one. Is true that, in a real world, sometime you just don't have much option. Not to pressure you guys, but hopefully you guys don't "expect" much in the real world. That's life. Fate and Luck do play a part. Just need to make the decision that you think you won't be regret one day, than go for it!

wei. lengmui. for ur good oh-kay! btw. i think simhao's right. not neccessary every1 will find something they like. which, brings me to my philosophy aforementioned above - make the best out of things.

Sometime u have no choice, but sometime u do have a choice. If you don't have a choice, it is right that you make the best out of it.

kor is right... i do expect too much in my field ( interior architecture & design). I love my course. but i hate what i did now ( training recently consider working in the real world now).

Should i change myself and belnd in this cruel and fake society.?
i think i should.
chuqinphua wrote on Sep 1, '07
wa...xian. u sound a bit too grey...
change is inevitable. changing in order to go with the flow is necessary at times as well. but i guess, as long as u think u're right or at least u're feel ok bout it, then it's fine kua, ie. dui de qi zi ji de liang xin jiu hao.
tasek0092 wrote on Sep 2, '07
Well, society is like that, sometime is hard to avoid seeing the "cruel" side, its all depends on how you take it. In fact, still have the "bright" side of the society. When I look back, all these are fate. People you meet, people you work with, things happen to you all been arranged. The thing is, the decision you had made, just think twice, make sure no regret.
phuacx wrote on Sep 3, '07
yeah.. I know..., and I will.. dui de qi zi ji de liang xin jiu hao.Hahah.
