Siew Mai Can... Knit??
I'm trying to learn how to knit. I just went and bought a £10 Easy Knit Scarf-in-a-Bag kit.
Lord help me... I'm turning into some kind of domesticated dim sum. (>_<)

Results!
Haiz.. After a week of beautiful sunshine and warm breezes, we are back into grey skies and constant drizzles. Will it ever really be summer in Aberdeen?
I've got my results! Still going pretty strong, although lost one 20 due to careless calculator mistakes (yes, calculator. My written calculation formulae were all correct but due to careless punching of buttons, ended up with wrong answers which were mostly corrected during last 5 minutes of the exam; but not enough to ensure a full 20. Sigh.). Still managed to get pretty good marks though, and there was mild improvement in my practical course since last term.
Siew Mai's Results, 2005/06 2nd Half Term
EG1527 Applied Mechanics and Structures - 19
EG1567 Electronics and Electrical Systems - 20
EG1570 Engineering Communication, Design & Practice - 16
(Graded according to CAS table, max 20)
One of these days I'll have to put up a table of corresponding percentages... 20 is like 85-100% or something like that.
(^_^)v Siew Mai banzai!! Ha... This is called 老王卖瓜、自卖自夸... MWAHAHAHA....!!!!
You know what else this means?? I have finished first year engineering in Aberdeen!! *Goes mad* YAAAAAAAYY!!!!!!!!!

Museum Ramblings
Practically every day of the 9 months that I've been in this grey city, there has been a seagull sitting smugly on the roof of St. Mary's, staring into our kitchen window. I swear that it's the same seagull every single time... Smug little shit... I will throw a stone at it one day.
Decided to walk over to the Gordon Highlanders' Museum today. Not as far as I thought it would be. I was prepared to walk a good 1 1/2 hours to reach it but it only took about an hour+. It held a good amount of history in it, and the museum "guides" (who are really all veterans or sons/daughters of veterans that have volunteered to keep the place up and running) are more than happy to bring you around. In fact, it's a good idea to ask as many questions as possible or to exude an aura of great interest because you will then get treated with a good many personal stories from the veterans themselves, giving you a more personal side of the Highlander regiment.
It's a pity that this year, all of the Scottish regiments (the Gordon Highlanders, Black Watch, etc.) have been amalgamated into one single Royal Scottish Regiment. Each of them had their own unique history and identity. And there has been more than just a little resentment at this amalgamation.
All in all, a nice day spent walking (2 hours ++ in total. To & fro you know..) and absorbing in more of Scottish history. I'll probably go back to that museum again before I go home, go through everything in more detail next time (was a bit late today, arrived about 1 1/2 before it closed). For £2.50, it's well worth a second look. And I'll definitely have tea in the tea room the next time.
A limited Da Vinci collection should be on display at the Art Gallery starting this week or next. Will need to have a look at that one as well.

Ha? Maji ka??? Usou darou?? (O_o)
Another nice day in Aberdeen. Looks like things are finally taking a turn for the better. Except that the accomodation office has chosen today to allow some construction people to come and make a ruckus in the loft. Doing some kind of maintenance work. I don't know. The letter said they would be there for about half a day and there'd be minimum fuss/noise. My foot. There were sounds of drilling and hammering and stomping. They started around 9am and it's now 2pm and as far as I know, they're not even half-way there. Chances are they'll only troop out around 4pm and that is definitely NOT half a day. Harumph.
Anyhowz, I called up the travel agent today to change the date on my return ticket and to my surprise, I was told that I couldn't change my ticket! HUH?? The last time I called it was to see if I could change my outbound date and I was told only my inbound flight was changeable. Now apparently I can't change anything at all? Was more than a little confused, I can tell you that. Was quite irritated as well, mainly at being given wrong information, either now or previously. At least the girl who picked up my call was decent enough to do a second thorough check and sure enough, it turns out that I was informed wrongly the first time around. Bloody hell (unsaid over the phone of course, I'm quite the gracious phone customer... what... I know the terrors of unreasonable demands made over the phone ok, of course I'm nice over the phone). But she suggested I go down to the KLM office in SG to see if anything can be done as it may be easier on that side.
In any case, I am determined to stay longer in Singapore. There is nothing for me to do here if I come back in early August and the lease for my new place only starts in September.
Fear not friends!! Siew Mai is not so easily defeated!!!
p.s. Ahh... The title may or may not make sense (to those who can understand my broken Japanese anyhow) in context to the post... Mostly, I just felt like saying it. BWAHAHAA

Let There Be Sunlight!
SUN!!
OMG!! Today has been incredibly good weather. I could even go out without my sweater. Had lunch by the beach, then walked around the university's botanical gardens and went crazy talking pictures of the brilliantly coloured flowers until my camera's battery died on me. £"%£&... Then, went and bought a cold chicken pasta salad and had dinner on the King's College Lawn wtih Suzanne and Joanne, among other fellow sun worshippers and damnable seagulls. Ooohh... It was just such a lovely day today. *happy sigh* Hopefully tomorrow is just as nice. (^_^) Go jogging!! Yes yes... Must get back into the running routine. I'm so out of shape now. Yesterday I looked into the mirror and OMG!!! Shades of a double chin coming back to haunt me!!! いやだ~~！！！！ (T_T) Siew Mai is really becoming a dumpling in Scotland.... I shall run off and join the circus. I'll be a part of the side freak show as the amazingly fat dumpling. (T_T)
Oh! And btw, I'm planning to extend my stay in Singapore. So prob be there for an extra month. (^_^)v Well... For anyone who cares anyhow...

So Many Updates... ゆっくり読で下さい
Right... Time to do some major updating, as I keep promising.
Ok. Let's start with the opera. Verdi's Rigoletto by the Chisinau National Opera. It was beautiful! Trooped down to the Aberdeen Music Hall last Sunday by myself since my flatmates weren't exactly big fans of opera. Ohhh... It was their loss. The baritone, Vladmir Dragos, who sang the part of Rigoletto was no less than wonderful. His voice just rang in your ears even after he'd left the stage. Wasn't too sure about the tenor who sang the part of the Duke though. Thought he was a bit shaky at times. However, that said, he did manage to pull off La Donna e Mobile quite nicely, although personally I thought he could have done with a little less self-dramatization. Thought his chest was going to explode at the end.
All in all, it was a great show. The live Golden Eagle didn't make an appearance, due to the small size of the venue, which was sad. And the period costumes were just really really pretty. (^_^) The Marriage of Figaro (can't remember which troupe is singing) will be playing somewhere in the middle of June, definitely going to check that out.
*******************************************************************
What next... Oh yes. Last Tuesday. Had a minor case of homesickness and emotional breakdown. Was just feeling generally unhappy that whole day, and kept thinking that my flatmates had some kind of agenda against me. Talk about paranoia. Finally, just before I went to bed, something inspired me to pick up that book of daily lessons that my great-aunt gave me. The Gentle Spirit's Lesson for May 30 - Calling In The Troops. And it started:
"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety."~ Proverbs 11:14
The lesson talked about how in our weakest moments, we are made to think that we are alone in our battles and there is no one who could care less about us. But it's not true. Because there is the Man himself, always standing behind us in case we fall. The lesson ended with this verse:
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray for another, that ye may be healed."~ James 5:16
And with that, I went straight to my flatmate's room and asked if she would hear me out for a bit. We talked, I cried and she comforted me, and shared her own insecurities of living in a foreign place, far away from home.
As far as I am aware of, God's sent me an angel once before. I'm sure there were more, but of those that I'm aware, there's one. That night I believe that I was on the brink of slipping into depression again. But something stopped me. Picking up that book brought me face to face with God. He gave me personal reassurance. And then, once more in my life, God sent me an angel.
*****************************************************************************
Friday night, I had 1 Singaporean and 3 Malaysians over for dinner. I've been hitting myself over the head ever since because I forgot to take photographs of the dinner party and more importantly, of the dinner itself. Bad Siewmai, Bad! Oh well... Here was the menu anywayz:
2 June 2006, Siewmai's Singapore Night
1) Chili Prawn (using Prima Taste Chili Crab mix)
2) Chili Tau Gan & Vegetables (also using above mix. My neighbour Sally is a vegetarian, so to be a good hostess, must cater for everyone)
3) Beef Curry (actually supposed to be Prima Taste Beef Rendang.. but I added too much water...)
4) Quorn hamburger Rendang (Quorn is a brand of frozen foods that specializes in vegetarian "meats", their main ingredient is something called mycoproteins.. I think. But it's good!)
5) Vegetable Fried Bee Hoon
6) Stir Fry Mushroom Sauce Choi Sim
7) Thai White Rice
8) Mark's & Spencer Lemon Cheesecake - provided by the SEAsian gang
9) M & S Blueberry Pie (as of yet, still uneaten) - also from the SEAsians
Except for the dessert, everything else was cooked by yours truly (with the help of Prima Taste for the main dishes). Except for the failed beef rendang-turned-beef curry (which was still quite tasty in the end), I must say that I'm quite proud of myself. Everything turned out quite nicely. Everybody seemed to enjoy the food, and even Suzanne and Sally managed to down quite a bit of the spicy Singapore food. And thankfully, everybody had fun! It was a success in my books. I'm glad I managed to get Grace and gang over for dinner before everybody left. I know for sure such dinner parties will not be possible in my new place next year. It's too small.
1 point for Siew Mai. YAY!
Anyone want to request Siew Mai's cooking? ;) It'll only be available for a month. Well... About 3 weeks, really. I'm off to Cambodia during the last week of July.

Singaporeans Speak... What?
As I told my flatmate Caitlin, yesterday I decided that Singaporean Chinese are an international conundrum. Westerners (or maybe just the people I've met in the UK.) don't expect us to speak very good English, if we speak it at all, and will always compliment us on how good our English is. Then the mainland Chinese who for one reason or another are stuck here, will automatically assume we are also mainland Chinese and start blathering to us in heavily accented Mandarin, making them barely understandable to us. When they find out that we are not mainlanders but in fact, Singaporean, they will then compliment us on how well we're doing with our command of Mandarin.
So, either way, people expect us NOT to be as good in the above said languages, either due to appearances or where we're from. So what should we have a good command of? Swahili?? Or maybe the Singapore Government should consider making Singlish an official language. I mean, one classmate of mine actually asked me if I spoke Singaporean, so... Why not?

On Tuesday, I had a minor issue. And it was these 2 verses that helped me overcome. Heh. I'll talk about it more in detail soon.

Actually... Maybe...
Maybe I should shut this thing down. And the Siewmanime blog. I hardly update due to one reason or the other (mainly that I don't have direct internet access where I live), and there really isn't all that much to talk about in Aberdeen. I lead a pretty boring life here.
Plus, I've noticed that I've lost a number of readers, due to the reasons stated above. Flooble threatens to shut down my chatterbox because nobody says anything, and the comments function is now just redundant somehow. Not that I blame anyone. There isn't much to comment on even when I do say something nowadays.
So far the most exciting stuff I've put up on the blog have been my baking escapades and even then, pictures of breads can only be novel for so long. What else is there to say really? I wake up, go to school, go home, have dinner, study a bit and sleep. Occasionally there is a movie or an outing. But nothing much else. No drama, no angst... For which I think I should be thakful for. But then there's also no excitement. Nothing to ponder about or wonder about or write about.
Well... I'll think about it. Maybe I'll just keep this thing up as an archive of sorts. Heh....
Oh. I suppose I did do something exciting on Sunday. I went to a showing of Verdi's Rigoletto by the Chisinau National Opera. 'Twas very good. For those who don't know, it's where that famous Italian canzone La Donna e Mobile comes from.
Hmm.. Gtg check on other things... Will talk more on it next time I suppose, or if anyone actually cares...

What Now?
Siew Mai's To-Do List:
1)Study for exams Check: 26 May 2006
2)Finish exams Check: 26 May 2006
3)Find a room for next year Check: 28 May 2006
Yes, I have managed to find myself a place to stay next year. It's a little small, but very pleasant. The kitchen is nice and the windows are large, so there's plenty of sun. 230GBP inclusive of all bills. Pretty good, considering. But....
What the hell do I do from now until July when I leave?? I had left myself the whole month of June to look for a flat and I've already found one... It isn't even June yet....
Diao-ded (-_-")

Quizzy Quizzy Quiz
Bwahahha.... Sure or not...
Ok. This next one I might agree with...
| You Are Lightning |
 Beautiful yet dangerous People will stop and watch you when you appear Even though you're capable of random violence You are best known for: your power Your dominant state: performing |
| You Are Mint Green |
 Balanced and calm, you have mastered the philosophy of living well. Your friends seek you out for support, and you are able to bring stability to chaotic situations. You're very open and cheerful - and you feel like you have a lot of freedom in life. Your future may hold any number of exciting things, and you're ready for all of them! |
| You Are Noon |
 You are upbeat, ambitious, and never at loss for energy. You have a lot that drives you in life. The desire to be the best, and a secret hope of fame and power.

Ok. This next one I might agree with...
| You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish |
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. |

ただいま? Soon Soon...
Yes indeed.
The Return of The SiewMai.
Coming to an airport near you this July.
I wonder if Peter Jackson thought of adding a fourth to the trilogy... :p :p :p

Gah.
Exams.
Gah.
But this industrial action by the lecturers is still going on. I wonder what will happen. Don't think I will be affected though... Don't think any of my lecturers are part of the participating union. But there are quite a few departments that are being affected. Some have no papers set yet, some have pushed back the exams to August, some just have no idea what's going on.
Haaaaa.... All in the day of a life in Europe, where everybody and anybody strikes for some reason or the other...

I'm back to my previous size. FREAKING HELL!! I think it was barely a year ago that I proudly announced that I'd finally dropped a size (I shall have to check my archives...). And now I'm back in the pits of dismay. "£*%^!((£%&*%^£^ How on earth did I let this happen????
Argh... Shane will kill me when he finds out...
Ok. Starting tomorrow, I will go back to the no-carbo dinners and regular short jogs. And no more sugary stuff dammit.

EXAMS ARE COMING!
*insert Darth Vader theme here*
Exam dates are out. Mine are in a month. AAAAAH!!!!
Tuesday 23 May
EG1527 Applied Mechanics and Structures
1500-1700
Friday 26 May
EG1567 Electronics and Electrical Systems
1500-1700
Erk. I'm not so worried about Mechanics. It's the electrical part that's getting me. I can barely understand my lecturer speaking (hespearrkslahrkethirrss). Lecturers should be made to go for "How Not To Mumble" classes. And I'm hating the electronic labs at the moment. GAH! Those stupid oscilloscopes are going to be the death of me. Grrr....
On the bright side, I baked more bread today! Hmmm... One walnut, sunflower seed & current bread and another plain wholewheat bread with a hint of cinnamon. Hmmmm.... I should bake more... Baking makes me happy.
