Falling asleep..

I'm going to doze off any moment now.. In the PC Cluster of the Computer Centre. Waiting for my notebook to be configured for NUS domain.. The girl told me 3.30.. it's only 2.25 now!!

Been feeling super high since last night.. coz i finally saw him online and could chat on ICQ.. It's been so long.. and after every chat, he just makes me increase my suspicions of u-know-what..

Like he was telling me he has so many projects and was so tired.. so i told him to relax a bit and look forward to the hols to keep himself going.. then he told me I could keep him going and that he needed a jing shen zhi zhu.. so i said let's be mutually dependent on each other and he said, "yah! mutual as in between both of us and exclusive (only 2 of us)"

Then he was complaining why i never take the initiative to ask him for lunch or go out.. I just wanted to tell him.. do you know I badly want to do that?? Haiz~

But been telling myself not to think too much.. lest everything turns out to be nought..

Just met him for lunch, together with the rest of the guys.. i think it's so qiao.. i was abt to msg him to ask him when his msg came..

Anyway, enjoyed myself coz it's been so long since I had lunch with him in school on a Thursday! Most times he asked I always had project discussions...

Will treasure while I have the chance..

cheers

Interesting

Just pounced on a website on flirting (??) on my friend's blog.. Wonderful of her to share it! Sure does help! Haha!

Some interesting results from the survey..

Research shows that men find it particularly difficult to interpret the more subtle cues in women's body-language, and tend to mistake friendliness for sexual interest. This is not because they are stupid or deluded, but because they tend to see the world in more sexual terms than women.

There is also evidence to suggest that women are naturally more socially skilled than men, better at interpreting people's behaviour and responding appropriately. Indeed, scientists have recently claimed that women have a special 'diplomacy gene' which men lack.


One of the 'hot-beds' for flirting is in schools! You bet!


If your target maintains eye contact with you for more than one second, the chances are that he/she might return your interest. If after this initial contact, your target looks away briefly and then looks back to meet your gaze a second time, you can safely assume that he/she is interested. If these eye contacts trigger a smile, you can approach your target with some confidence.

If the position of your partner's body and limbs appear to 'echo' or 'mimic' your own, particularly if his/her posture is a mirror image of yours, the chances are that he/she feels an affinity with you

Generally, however, someone who is interested in you will be more lively and animated in conversation, using more gestures when speaking in order to keep your attention, and more responsive gestures to show interest when you are speaking.

Experiments have shown that even a light, brief touch on the arm during a brief social encounter between strangers has both immediate and lasting positive effects.

If your companion finds you likeable or attractive, a brief arm-touch should prompt some reciprocal increase in intimacy. This may not be as obvious as a return of your arm-touch, but watch for other positive body-language signals, such as increased eye-contact, moving closer to you, more open posture or postural echo, more smiling, etc. Your arm-touch may even prompt an increase in verbal intimacy, so listen for any disclosure of personal information, or more personal questions.

Remember that a hand-touch, unless it is the conventional handshake of greeting or parting, is much more personal than an arm-touch. By touching your companion's hand, you are opening negotiations towards a higher degree of intimacy, so keep it light and brief: a question, not an order.

The basic rule on how much to talk is very simple: try to make your contribution to the conversation roughly equal to that of your partner. The essence of a good conversation, and a successful flirtation, is reciprocity: give-and-take, sharing, exchange, with both parties contributing equally as talkers and as listeners.

Other characteristics that research has identified as particularly boring or off-putting include self-preoccupation (talking too much about yourself and showing too little interest in others), banality (only talking about superficial things, repeating hackneyed jokes and stories), tediousness (talking too slowly, pausing too long, taking too long to make a point), passivity (failing to take full part in the conversation or express opinions), lack of enthusiasm (talking in a monotone, not making eye-contact, expressing too little emotion), over-seriousness (using a serious tone of voice and expression, even when your partner is trying to be light-hearted or humorous) and over-excitement (easily sidetracked, engaging in too much meaningless chatter, too much slang).

Compliments, on the other hand, are almost universally welcomed, and do not have to be witty or original. In an analysis of 600 verbatim compliments, linguists found that they tend to follow a tried-and-tested formula, with the word "nice" occurring in nearly 25% of the compliments studied, and the word "you" in almost 75%. In other words, you should not be afraid of paying simple, unflowery compliments such as "That's a nice jacket" or "That colour really suits you", as they can be very effective.

The key to successful flirtation is to escalate the level of intimacy gradually, always maintaining a balance between your disclosures and those of your partner. Avoid getting too far ahead by revealing too much, or lagging behind by revealing too little.

One particular form of humour, playful teasing, is particularly common in flirtatious encounters. This is because playful teasing allows partners to increase the 'personal' content of the exchange, while keeping the tone light-hearted and non-serious, thus escalating the level of disclosure and intimacy in a non-threatening manner. Men respond particularly well to this form of humour, as it closely resembles the 'mock-arguments' and good-humoured exchanges of insults which are their normal means of expressing friendship among themselves.

Shrugz!!

Was thrown such a bombshell today.. My computer had to be reformatted!! Arrgh!!

The hard disk seemed completely gone and the first thing I thought was my ICQ HISTORY!! Everything gone!! Don't think there's any way for me to retrieve it!! Sob sob!!

Anyway, to look on the brighter side of things, at least I can blog on blogspot, at least I can check my NUS mail, at least there seems to be lesser of all the "The page cannot be displayed" messages etc... Yeah, no big deal! Just take it that there must be a fresh beginning to everything!

=)

Missed opportunities

Why do I always miss seeing him online??

Sometimes I think it is just so silly.. spending so much time online just to see if he comes on.. And I should be studying now...

Come to think of it, could he have been on privacy mode?? I hate myself for feeling so fidgety.. and to think I was still telling SM on tues that I would concentrate more on my studies!! But I badly want to talk to him leh.. Help!!

Gotta go to school tomorrow for project meetings. Didn't hear anything about him saying he was going to school tomorrow. But I hope I can see him.

drained~

Full of Regrets.. What's new?

2nd day of mid term break.. crap!! should look at my to-do list for the week.. it's even worse than the school term!

Anyway, met my uni frens for KTV yesterday.. a change of location.. at Bishan. Dunno why, everyone was so shagged.. I was practically slouching on the couch!! Been a long while since we last went singing.

Sang my usual songs.. and ou de yang's songs still not out yet!! I have a feeling it is not coming out ever.. When would he reveal his looks?

And I've got a new name.. D's qing fu! mistress!! What the heck! And who else, but him to give me this name! Sometimes I just wonder why he likes to make fun of me so much?? Even W has stopped!

Then W, S and he were talking about some girl he knows, then out of nowhere I just heard my name and he was saying don't make me jealous! What is this supposed to mean??

He was asking me to sing some duets but it was such a pity, I really dunno how to sing most of them.. haiz~

Went for dinner later.. rather disappointing the day had come to an end so quickly. everyone seemed to be avoiding reality.. coz all of us gotta rush project deadlines, assignments as from today!

He walked with me to the bus terminal.. and we chatted a bit.. Talked of going overseas.. i wanted a graduation trip to HK.. so he said gotta wait till i graduate so we could go together.. haiz~ Wonder if it would come true...

Just as we were boarding the bus, I spotted one of my seniors, HS and he said since I saw my fren.. then he would not see me home.. haiz~ how was he to know that I am not exactly that close to HS and we didn't say a single word to each other throughout the journey? She wasn't even sitting next to me!! Arrgh!!!

Would have to wait till school starts before i can see him again. unless he's in school on Friday as well...

At Shunmei's 21st birthday celebration.


*Wolf whistle* Doesn't our dear girl look resplendent in this flowery tube dress??

Happy birthday Shunmei!

Met up with the girls on Sat for our dear Shunmei's 21st birthday party at Costa Sands. The centre of attraction, as usual, was looking ravishing and beaming with such joy!

No wild partying. No heavy liquor. No heart thumping music. Just plenty of heart-to-heart sharing and reminiscing sessions, with huge doses of heartwarming friendship! Cheers to our everlasting friendship!

Shagged week

As usual, was late for school.. AGAIN! and I had a test today!

Didn't catch him on the bus today.. He was probably late again! Can't stand the frustrating transport system.. The traffic sucks. And every bus 151 was all packed to the brim!

Reached my "beloved" Bizad at 9.07.. walked the long long way to CRC. Plonged right into my seat and without being able to catch a breather, went right straight into my test.. Oh well, I hope I won't fail; most of the MCQs were rather tricky and I have lost 5 marks already.. Formula totally left my brain!

Rest of the lesson went by with me in my usual daze. Risk and return, SML, CAPM.. How many freaking times have I heard these terms? Seriously suffering from finance overload this semester!

Met my friend W in the canteen during break today.. He suggested I should cut my hair.. thinks I look nice in it. Well, will consider.

After all, how many times have I said I wanted to cut my hair, only to result in a complete turnabout of the decision? Watch this space.

Set out to "conquer" our financial markets project after class.. and I would say, we have not totally conquered it yet..

My stupid notebook can't join the nusstu domain! Managed to get hold of him to help me to solve the problem temporarily.. Felt real good to have seen him.. He was sitting so close and even patted my lap when he left.. Only for a few minutes but it made me feel so good! Well, at least it managed to perk me up for the rest of my day in school!

Seriously, I am totally shagged from the week's work.. and there is more to come next week. Project proposals, case submissions, presentations.. Feeling just so overwhelmed!
