Actually i have nothing much to blog about but was requested by someone to do so.

I think some guys actually knew that last saturday, me, fm and weejia were supposed to attend this hip hop class at Studio Wu since we had this complimentary free pass. I was all so excited until the moment I reached Cityhall to meet the guys. Firstly, my attire was a complete no-no cause' I was wearing shorts. Weejia's attire even worse - AJ PE shorts (OMG). And fm wore until she's preparing to go shopping, although she did brought clothes to change. Hahhaa. As soon as we stepped into SMU, me and Weejia decided that we are not cut out for this and start to feel that we should back out. Fumin insist on going there to take a look and trying it out. Anyway to cut short, i realised fumin has grown to be much much braver than me and jia! She actually wanted to go in and try! Kudos.

Tommorow is finally the last day of EID. There will be an exhibition at Nanyang Auditorium tomorrow and professors, media and potential investors will be there to look at the products that are presented by the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering School. Formal wear tomorrow, I cannot imagine how I will survive. High heels!! White collar long sleeve tee!! Skirt!! Goodnesssss! My heels is 3.5 inches high and the first time I wore it the balls of my feet hurts so much. But I love the heels loads and it's specially imported from Korea!

This post is only for the strong-hearted.

I still remember when i was working with vivian at SMRT last year, we happened to chance upon the word - capital punishment. Out of curiousity, we checked it out on the net and were horrified by what we saw. Even up till now, when i went back to find out the meanings, it still gives me the shudder.

Here's the different types of capital punishment used in the past: -

1) Flaying

An animal may be flayed in preparation for human consumption, or for its hide or fur; this is more commonly called skinning.

Flaying of humans is used as a method of torture or execution, depending on how much of the skin is removed. This article deals with flaying in the sense of torture and execution. This is often referred to as "flaying alive". There are also records of people flayed after death, generally as a means of debasing the corpse of a prominent enemy or criminal, sometimes related to religious beliefs (e.g. to deny an afterlife); sometimes the skin is used, again for deterrence, magical uses, etc. (i.e. scalping).

2) Slow Slicing

Slow slicing (simplified Chinese: 凌迟; traditional Chinese: 凌遲; pinyin: língchí, alternately transliterated Ling Chi or Leng T'che), also translated as the slow process, the lingering death, or death by a thousand cuts, was a form of execution used in China from roughly AD 900 to its abolition in 1905. In this form of execution, the condemned person was killed by using a knife to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time. The term língchí derives from a classical description of ascending a mountain slowly.

Liu Jin (劉瑾), (?-1510), was a well-known Chinese eunuch during the Ming Dynasty. Liu was famous for being one of the most corrupt officials in Chinese history and the standing emperor for some time.

Zhengde Emperor 's living put heavy load on the people and he would refuse to receive all his ministers and ignored all their petitions. He also sanctioned the rise of eunuchs around him. Liu made some reforms such as encourage widows to marry again, against the Neo-Confucianism views that time. Many officials and other eunuchs were against him. The uprising of Prince Zhu Zhifan (安化王朱寘鐇) was to fight Liu. After the officials suppressed the uprising, an official Yang Yiqing (楊一清) persuade another enunuch Zhang Yong (張永) to report Liu plotting rebellion. Zhengde did not believe it at first and consider expel Liu to Fengyang (鳳陽). But Zhang reported many weapons in Liu's houses. The emperor then ordered Liu executed by death by a thousand cuts in three days and being cut 3,357 times. According to witness, the onlookers in Beijing bought his flesh for one qian (smallest available currency) and ate the flesh while drinking rice wine. Liu died the second day after cruel three to four hundred cuts.

According to one report, shortly before Liu was executed, 12,057,800 tael (449,750 kg) of gold and 259,583,600 tael (9,682,470 kg) of silver was taken from his residence. In 2001, the Asian Wall Street Journal placed Liu in the list of 50 wealthiest persons in the past 1,000 years.

3) Boiling to death


This penalty was carried out using a large cauldron filled with water, oil, tar, tallow or even molten lead. Sometimes the victim was immersed, the liquid then being heated, or he was plunged into the already boiling contents, usually head first. The executioner could then help speed their demise by means of a large hook with which he sank the criminal deeper. An alternative method was to use a large shallow receptacle rather than a cauldron; oil, tallow or pitch then being poured in. The victim was then partially immersed in the liquid and fried to death.


4) Disembowelment


Disembowelment (evisceration) is the removing of some or all of the vital organs, usually from the abdomen. If performed on a living creature, it is fatal in virtually all cases. It has historically been used as a severe form of capital punishment. The last organs to be removed were invariably the heart and lungs so as to keep the condemned alive (and in pain) as long as possible.


5) Cruxification


Crucifixion is an ancient method of painful execution in which the condemned person is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross (of various shapes) and left to hang until dead.






6) Impalement

Impalement as a method of torture and execution involves a person being pierced with a long stake. The penetration could be through the sides, through the rectum, through the vagina, or through the mouth. This method leads to a painful death, sometimes taking days. The stake would often be planted in the ground, leaving the impaled person suspended to die.
In some forms of impalement, the stake would be inserted so as to avoid immediate death, and would function as a plug to prevent blood loss. After preparation of the victim, including public torture and rape, the victim was stripped and an incision was made in the groin between the genitals and rectum. A stout pole with a blunt end was inserted. The blunt end would push vital organs to the side where a sharp end would pierce them, hastening death. A conveniently suitable branch was often used.


The pole would often come out of the body at the top of the sternum and be placed against the lower jaw so that the victim would not slide farther down the pole. Often, the victim was hoisted into the air after partial impalement. Gravity and the victim's own struggles would cause them to slide down the pole.






7) Dismemberment

Dismemberment is the act of cutting, tearing, pulling, wrenching or otherwise removing, the limbs of a living thing. It may be practiced upon human beings as a form of capital punishment, as a result of a traumatic accident, or in connection with murder, suicide, or cannibalism. As opposed to surgical amputation of the limbs, dismemberment is often fatal to all but the simplest of creatures.

8) Sawing

Sawing is a method of torture and execution.
The condemned was hung upside down and then sawed apart down the middle, starting at the rectum. Since the condemned was hanging upside-down, the brain received a continuous blood supply in spite of severe bleeding. The condemned would remain alive and conscious until the saw severed the major blood vessels of the abdomen, and sometimes even longer. In Asian countries, the condemned stood up while constrained and sawing started at the head. According to some religious histories, the prophet Isaiah was executed in this manner.

Well, there's another scary thing which i would like to check out, but lack the courage to. I heard in Japan, the Japanese squeeze these kittens into a glass/plastic bottle and rear them inside. These kittens were fed water and food only by a straw inserted inside. And because of the limited space given to the kittens, they were grown deformed. Heart-aching. Yea, the Japanese AGAIN.

EID Group

Have been going back to school almost everyday for EID Project.. and finally the worst part - business plan, is done. Kudos to all the guys cause' they are really pro-sters despite being in engineering! Well, im very ashamed to say that i did almost nothing and have been of no help. Ahh. We were stating in our biz plan that as a start off, we will have to have a loan of S$200,000 from the bank and in order to break even in 1.5 years, we have to sell 9000 units every month in retail stores, novelty stores etc. So in conclusion, our product is actually a failed business. HAhahaa but who cares. Anyhow boast the figures i think the professors also wont care. =P Then because me and joyce are the PR managers, we are supposed to bring in money for the company because according to the guys, PR managers socialise with the businessman by going to bed with them. THAT was one crude comment but interesting. HahhaaA.

I quite like my group members. They are all one hip and funny group. And not forgetting the guys are sooooo sooo soooo cam-whorers. Now i have a scandal partner. Omg.

Tomorrow going for hip hop class at Studio Wu with min and weejia. I think we will make a fun of ourselves. Im kinda looking forward to it. HhahahaA.

"ling!!!! rik coming back!!!"

What would be your interpretation of this sms sent to me a few hours ago by sel? My first interpretation was "HUH!? He came back already ahhh?! I thought supposed to be in June?"

Well, sel actually meant to ask me when is rik coming back. Made me excited for a moment. =P

Went for Seok's 21st Bdae Celebration yesterday. Actually i thought it was more like a eat-together-cum-talk-crap session. HaHHA i must really praise the buffet caterer - Creative. The food is just so damn nice! Never really had a chance to talk to seok.. i dont see her talking much anyway leh. And that lao jia kept asking me if seok is happy. I think she should be happy la! So many relatives and friends came! If it's my own party i dont even have any relatives to invite. LOL.

I think the most paiseh part was the singing of the birthday song part and if im not wrong there's also the au lang syne song right? I find it rather funny hahahhaa. Seok managed to handle it well!

My mum was asking me to hold my bdae at a chalet. Then i told her might as well at Community Centre can sing karaoke and play tennis and dance hip hop at the same time. Kill all birds with one stone. Eeeee chalet is definitely out.

This is Muffin! Felicia's precious rabbit and he's such a dearrr! Will miss him badly once he left in a few days time. Ahhhhh. ):

BY CAREER & ATTACHMENT OFFICE

Oh my god can you believe it? I went down for the interview at Singapore Power yesterday and it was the longest interview i have ever had. 1 whole hour. And i was selected immediatedly because right after the interview, i was being introduced to the engineers and some others. I even hitched a ride by one of the girls there. The pay is more than what i had expected, and im quite contented with it. (:

Lady luck is with me! I found myself a industrial attachment so soon! Felt so so so happy. And at the same time happy is because the other girl whom im scolding vulgarities at got rejected for her interview. Serves her right. Her spoken english sucks anyway. LOL.

She irritated me again today. I didnt want to talk to her right after but she came and talk to me. Here's what she said today that made me irritated.

She was asking our other two friends some lame question (i happen to know the answer) that goes like this:

"If one equals to three, two equals to three, then three equals to?"

"If five equals to four, seven equals to five, eight equals five, then ten equals to?"

Our other two friends couldnt get the correct answer despite a few tries and one of them wanted to know the logic behind. So, i told them:

"Try to count."

Then this bitch said this that made me wanna punch her right into her face:

"Aiya stop giving hints la. It's so irritating."

FUCK HER ASS MAN. I swear to god right after my attachment i would not choose the same subjects or be in the same tut class as you. I would rather be alone.

I see a lot of commotion with my latest post. Maybe it's because of my vulguraties? Hahhaa sorry guys but i simply have to vent it out.

Clique came over to my house for mahjong game. But before that we did somthing for seok (cannot reveal it here since her 21st bdae is this sat), and im sure she will like it. (: Mahjong game from early afternoon till 11pm. Yea 11pm! Hardcore mahjong-ers. As usual, fumin kept beating me in "hu" and at the end of the day, she was the ultimate winner again. And this time round, weijing was the loser. Luckily we only played with chips, not real money unlike my bro, my mum and fel. Hah! I wanna play mahjong againnnnnn!!!!

Anyway, i finally learnt to play dai dee! Quite fun leh.

Mother's day today.. Tmr then we celebrate. Bro and I shared a Kenzo night cream for my mum. Costs us a whopping 110 bucks for just a cream! That cream better make sure it's good.

Kept seeing michelle chia and shaun chen's wedding ad in tv and newspapers. The couple is sooo sweeeettt! Ahhhh admire them loads.

Notice i havent been updating my blog for 1 week.. and there is a reason. I think this post will be full of vulgurities. Just bear with me.

Hasn't been in the best of mood this week. First of all, im seriously pissed off with myself and i have no one else to blame but myself. I totally missed my singapore power interview. To think i can actually missed out reading the column of the email that states that there is a change in the date of interview also. I thought there was only a change in timing! Dont ask me how i read my email but i just totally missed it. Damn fucked up. Now my chance of another interview is very slim and my first choice could be forfeited.

Next, one whole goddamn month of that bloody Engineering Innovation and Design Program - which means returning to school every day from 9am to 4.30pm, which never fails to leave me feeling very lethargic at the end of the day. Ask us to invent what stupid products or modify ideas. And during meetings, im always keeping very quiet and just listening because i have totally no idea what my group's idea was about or what they were talking about. They were talking about the using worm gears or pulley systems and i can only marvel at why they are able to think of such systems. At least there are such talents in my group. I guess i can only help them in writing business plan. No mechanical / electronic - related engineering stuffs for me, cause' i really cant. I tried, but i cant. I dont event know 70% of my group's ppl. And as my friends know, when im not familiar with someone, im usually dao-ing them. I dont want to either!

Lastly, if the person whom im going to mention next happen to find my blog and read this post, then im sorry but i really have to vent my anger here. So far, i have been in school with you for 2 years and i have always been tolerating you. I have always tried to talk nicer to you and be patient with you whenever you shoot your mouth off. But please be reminded that my patience has got a limit! People who knows me knows that im a very very straightforward person. And i dont know why but i have been tolerating you all the while. I once sent you a sms telling you to be careful of your attitude and language but you seem to have forgotten now. Fuck off ok. Sometimes i really feel like telling you straight in the face to mind your fucking language. I know most of the time you dont mean it, but please to others it means a lot. If you are going to continue with it then i only wish you good luck. Friends wont come easily for you. Colleagues will only backstab you in the future. Learn to say something nice will you. It's very frustrating and real irritating to talk to you and sometimes i just choose to keep quiet. You try me. I dont care if i dont have any friends in uni. I dont care if im alone for lectures or tutorials. I only have 1.5 more years to go and i dont give it a damn whether i have friends with me in school anot. Sometimes i would rather be alone so that at least i dont have to feel frustrated at your words. And mind you, im not doing very well in school because im in a course i dont like, not because im in any way less studious or more stupid than you. We belong to different worlds. I dont belong to engineering and no matter how hard i tried, i can only stay at this level because i have totally no interest at all! You, on the other hand belongs totally to engineering. If you are always trying to show off to people that you are very clever and good, then by all means show. Dont show it in front of me. And dont always talk to me in a very irritated manner. Its FUCKING FUCKING CAUSE-FOR-BEAT-UP.

I have always been very tolerating towards you. Just mind your language.
