Salt

2011-12-22T02:35:00.002+08:00

Matthew 5:13
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

1. Salt Flavors
We flavor the earth.
Colossians 4:6
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

2. Salt Preserves
Preserve good cultures.
Mark 9:50
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it?
Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.

3. Salt Melts Ice
Break the ice in every relationship.

4. Salt Makes People Thirsty
Be thirsty for God.
John 7:37
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

5. Salt Brings Healing
We have the abilities to heal.
2 Kings 2:19-22
Elisha went out to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there.
Thus says the Lord: "I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness."

The only way salt loses its flavor is due to its impurities.

I want to say that I'm glad some of my friends are still here and sort of gave me a farewell dinner before I left Singapore for 14 days. The IKEA meal was sumptuous. It reminded me of the previous time I came here for dinner with yu and man, that was last August! And as anyone can see, this is what we had - for the gang, missing jiemin.

And I'm glad that I met up with the BFFs days just before my trip. Well, ya know, in case something happened to the Cathay Pacific planes, there are no regrets. Of course, I didn't meet up with some people and I have no idea what they were busy with, really. Anyway, we had a mini celebration followed by the zombies game.

Then it was goodbye, Singapore.

I want to first start off that I'm not a pictures person. Thus all the photos you will see are taken when I am in the mood, and mostly I just take them for fun.

Anyway, happy 2010 everybody! Welcome back to: saying goodbyes.

First Goodbye
Well I realized I didn't take the last look of Temasek Polytechnic. This reminds me most of TP though.

Yup. See the red color thing? It's the Team Temasek badge. And that volleyball which bel gave me during our internship which is not worth mentioning at all. The level meter key chain my dad gave me. The bread which had a scent when I first bought it. The cute kitten key chain Eeyen bought in Taiwan. So, goodbye Temasek. Though I would most probably be going back for training since I will not carry that regret of not attaining the Black.

My only friends were: Dhatchayani, Foo Chia Hui, Florence Eng, Isabel. Others? More of classmates, being friendly and acquaintances. Even as fate brought us together in doing projects. We've had fun for sure, especially the last term. The only fun time in rushing projects but also at my least productive level.

I have graduated from Temasek Polytechnic. Diploma in Accounting & Finance. Pursuing (soon) a degree in UOL hopefully through some bridging course. ACCA? Guess accounting is not my life-long partner. Oh yea, my seal points should be around 240 - Excellent, Distinction maybe. GPA is lower than 3.0, since for sem 1.1 I was graded unfairly. Down sloping motivation is what polys bring you by the way.

It's time, to say goodbye.

some things dont change

2009-12-23T02:57:00.005+08:00

Last friday (18th Dec), I went on a short trip to Johor Bahru (Taman Pelangi Indah) with my Mum in the morning. We met up with Uncle and shopped at Jusco for groceries. The exchange rate was 1:2.43-.44 and everything was really cheap lol. I could have bought my Lee Cooper Leena red color shoes if not for the limited stock, the usual. Anyway I bought a handphone strap and some chocolates. Too bad no time to continue my hunt for the shoes though..

We spent the rest of our Friday at home, just lazing around actually. It was far too short to laze around 'cause the following day I exited the customs with my Uncle and rushed to school. It was for Ren Ci Hospital, flag-raising day. Okay, I thought I would get the green CSC shirt but oh well.
After wasting time, we finally took a bus ride over to City Hall to commence the event. I went to Marina Square's entrance but of course, it gives me a feeling of familiarity - the roadshows we used to work at. Plus, the crowd is never-ending. I was really hardworking, repeating the same phrase continuously I felt like recording and re-playing to the next person. Surprisingly I didn't suffer any sore throat nor flu from my repetition of lines and the occurence of heavy rainstorm.

It took me 2 hours, still, to fill the tin almost to the brim. My hands were too tired from holding the heavier tin and my exhaustion. After I returned I went to Pacific City for entertainment lol. My laptop was sent to repair for 2 entire weeks - so I used the Macbook for some leisure. Then there was an overflowing of crowd, such that I was mistaken for a staff I don't understand why. I think because I was playing on the Macbook lol. There was Edogawa and Sumo. I noticed that the people who walked in are very decisive. Once they set their minds on something, they just say, "I'll take it", walk to the cashier and pay for the item(s). Well that wasn't the cause for this Caucasian couple though.

Alright, now the most exciting part. I met up with Addy to make our way to Changi Airport. Pengsoon was already there, Vicki reached shortly, Kelvin got out at 6.30pm - our meeting time. Haha. We had dinner at Xin Wang HK Café. Simply chatting and reminiscing and wondering, how comfortable we were together, when it has been almost a year since we've last hanged out! Maybe Kel was right - we had such a strong bond it simply rekindles. Well, I left a seat for Cherie...

Next was supposedly the viewing mall which Addy so much wanted to view. But we viewed this instead -

That was when we decided to watch this fantastic movie about the Qing dynasty (1906) period where fights for democracy were uprising. We watched the 0020 show at Shaw Century Square. With ample time, we went to Coffee Bean first.

1905, City of Victoria (British Colony of Hong Kong)

In the distance of thirteen blocks, the one man who holds a nations fate must survive relentless attempts on his life with only five bodyguards to protect him. Against hundreds of assassins, these men must put their courage to the test in order to protect the hopes of millions in this perilous night even if it means fighting to the death...

For more details - visit http://ent.sina.com.cn/f/m/shywch/index.shtml

The movie ended. It was such a magnificent movie I couldn't think of anything to say. We splitted - peng, vick & i; addy & kel - and took cab home. =)

interesting routine

2009-12-17T17:38:00.003+08:00

I'm proud to say, I'm going back to training woooooooooooooot.

Haha, okay it may have been an excuse - I pulled my ligament & healing from the heavy collision from IVP - but it's a fact that I've spent HUNDREDS of dollars for treatment and etc. because of it. Nvm, a whole new experience huh LOL.

First I'll have to say, I've watched a whole lot of movies during these 2 almost-super-free months. Other than internship, I'm pretty free. Well even with internship, I was pretty free but shall not explain it here as details are strictly confidential. So since I was too free, I hanged out with a group of friends like almost every day.

Paranormal activity; My girlfriend is an agent; 2012; Zombieland; 风云II

These were the recent movies I've watched. All I can say is My gf is an agent is an awesome movie and those who missed it, you missed out ALOT. The others, I have not much comments. However for 2012, I really suffered a bad ache throughout the 3-hour length film.

Life has been quite a wonderful routine. The frequent mahjong sessions were what I looked forward to during my boring internship days. During the soccer sessions, time always pass by quickly and strangely I was never bored. There's also Adeline and Mingyue to do some catching up once in a while. There's also the fengshan buddies where we'll meet up on a monthly basis or something.

At least for this semester I'll have my friends in most of the lectures so I won't want to skip. Plus, I get to see Dhatch almost every day of the school week. Recently we've been meeting up with jovita, cheryl, florence and jiemin too. There's also this sort of Air Rifle outing this Saturday. Yup, it's getting real boring.

I've attended my first riding practical and it became clear to me that for some lessons, it is IMPOSSIBLE to pass with first try as the lesson has to cover what 100mins is not enough to do so. The bike is damn heavy, no joke. Even guys have difficulty setting the brakes on/off the stands. It takes technique and strength oh man. My arm ached the next day, badly. It's not easy but it won't be too hard for me. :)

The breeze I felt at probably 30km/h was too cooling to be true. The experience was simply great and I didn't feel like I was falling or anything close. I have a feeling I would love my Kawasaki, when I get it. <3

Alright, going Malaysia to take a breather from Friday morning till Saturday. I'll do nothing at home anyway.

happy day!

2009-11-01T22:35:00.005+08:00

i feel so honoured coz changsong said there were more laughters because i was there. (added with sarcasm)

anyway actually i feel quite happy. (not with reference to the above)

even though i'm having really sore shoulders which most likely resulted in sitting through 9 episodes of smallville.

went to rocher blk 4 chien chi tow with my mum again. saw my uncle but no massaging this time round.

i sat at soup spoon trying to enjoy the fudge cake and caffe latte after going to food for thought to find it closed on sundays.

room for dessert was closed too, as i have concluded, when no one picked up the phone.

after which i went to iluma for at least 1 hour, exploring and checking out Sony Ericsson W995 and the accessories. it's in the no. 1 to get list now.

then i saw this watch shop trends on my way out. and it was a love at first sight... which would leave me with $260 less in my bank account.

on the left - this is the closest i can find
on the right - it attracted my attention

i think i'm changing target lol.

feels that i have not enough money now with 300 here 300 there and 300 everywhere. nothing left! i need a high paying job man.

shin yuu = 亲友 LOL

2009-10-24T17:09:00.007+08:00

yesterday was the day we celebrate hong & cs birthday which is today.

first i went swimming with a few and i'm half-tanned half-burned now. we swam for about 2 hours and i'm improving!

second we took 67 which was an hour and a half long ride to bukit timah road and made our way to Shin Yuu at 16 Greenwood Ave. buffet is 48++ for each person. there was a lot of variety and good food, definitely worth the price. total there was 10 of us which got us a private room with special service lol. the manager kept coming in to take orders and recommend some dishes not in the menu. he even gave us free flow of iced green tea after i ate that spicy tuna California roll. total bill amounted to 576.70 or somewhere along there. most of them were on hong-loan lol.

third we took 67 back but this time it's faster without the jam. then we went home and made our way to mahjong till dawn. all's well till when we slept, we could never wake up and continue playing lol. a re-match? maybe tonight hah.

while on the way back, bryan and i were separated by the aisle. even when people left he refused to move his butt. then there was this man sitting beside me, he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to exchange seats with him. only then he shifted. lol it was damn funny, including some funny messages and the creative zen vision m.

i want to swim more run more play basketball more. stamina sucks eh. and tp refused to give me the NAPFA fitness training lol ass.

nothing beats a nice get together.

2009-10-05T00:15:00.004+08:00

woot. just came back from gab's place after a birthday surprise spoilt by zhuang keyi. seriously she could have smsed wuss or that unknown number and anyone else instead of gabriel right. anyway, i specially got the cake from awfully chocolate from katong and arrived after 12pm.

only weijie, changsong, wuss, gab, eugene and i were there as the rest couldn't make it. they dota and we mahjong and i got lazy so didn't go over to millenia walk to meet cherie and adeline. no luck in gambling at all man.

had lunch nearby. ordered canadian pizza and went down for table tennis while waited for its arrival. it was fun playing all of them looked as if they had been playing a lot last time. next time we can play badminton or tennis and night cycling etc.

last sunday went to geylang with eeyen for dinner. from lunch dragged to dinner actually. first lor 29 bak kut teh and some fish soup, then yong he's soya bean milk, bean curd, fried fritters and this shao bing, and finally this warm milk tea with goat's milk which we only took a sip of and the beef pancake at this 蒙古 place at lor 15.

it's really the tiny, noticeable things that mattered okay. it was a nice get together after a long while. i'll make it a point to not lose contact with a good friend again.

friday was a historical day! i came to yue's place to find yuan helping stan with his report. then, he offered to give me a ride to yuan's soka and back to yue's place haha. it was like a whole new experience. never had such a bumpy and hilarious and memorable ride before. wang mingyue missed out ALOT! date longer la. told you i was going over at 9 plus already.

i look forward to graduation and then i shall slowly plan my taiwan trip, learn some additional languages and save up for a world tour! best solution is to become an air stewardess. working towards the goal - improve swimming, learn makeup skills, be elegant (HAHA) and learn advanced japanese.

2009-09-21T01:55:00.001+08:00

Had buffet with mum and dad at Plaza Parkroyal. Nice food, nice environment. Free of charge.

problematic child. 问题儿童.

2009-09-19T23:07:00.002+08:00

Oh, time flies. It's been a month wow.

So to continue from my previous post, Jerome was greatly missed so I asked him out for LAN on the following Saturday (22nd August). He found me at Starbucks studying after Rowena left with Nas. Because of Rowena, I heard WeiLian sang live at Bugis that day. Somehow she brings luck to me.

The following Saturday (29th Auguest), I was glad there was no Kumon. Went to Kbox at Downtown East with yuan, stan, el, constance and yue. A nice get together once in a while.

The last day of August (31st), since I was going to watch Final Destination with Dhatch and florenz, I went to find cuiwen and moon. Pleasant surprise, we both agreed. (:

The next day (1st September), I didn't want to go Sentosa alone (anywhere but Sentosa) so I'd asked florenz since she's so free. We had 2 rounds of Skyride following the Luge. Fun, but not fast enough.

There was a class lunch which only 9 people turned up on the 3rd of September at Tao's Restaurant. The food was averagely nice however it's more of only satisfactory level. Not one I would specially go back for anything.

Over the weekends (4th & 5th September), mum and I went to Pelangi Indah because of florenz's initial suggestion of shopping at JB. So thanks to her, I sort of relaxed over there but then this time it was more of boring than relaxing. My mind wasn't at peace. When I drove my aunt's 11 year-old manual car, it was so loose I can't control it at all. It's alright though, time will come again.

Before the commencement of SIP on 09/09/09, I went for a cheap hair cut before meeting the guys rick, gem yl for Astons Specialities at Katong. After which, with my convincing skills off we go to Home of Pool for pool of course. Then, we continued our plan for L4D. Those 2 got so addicted the first time trying and I had to keep chasing them off the computers. It was only till 2 plus in the wee hours that they finally stood up! My first day of SIP, I tried so hard to stay awake while listening to everything Jason had to say.

The attire would be just casual, but I took the chance and spotted this pair of white Converse covered shoes and bought it, after 1 hour of consideration haha. Few days later, I finally got myself determined to get this pair of purple and white Asics sports shoes too. There is never enough. Guess it's pretty true though females usually go for flats and slippers etc.

Went to the Comex show for 3 out of the 4 days. To find rick & yl and have dinner with gem at Pepper Lunch (the other 2 too full). To have dinner together including yongxing at Carl's Jr. To have supper with cs bryan (that idiot left though) gab eugene guangwei yanqi keyi at some coffeeshop place in Bugis (we walked over from Suntec) to find all the full timers there too.

Finally met up with Yewf & Daniel too on Saturday night. Hope all goes well for you bro. Even though there wasn't much contact, I slowly realized it's not the quantity and that I've quite misunderstood some of the intentions. Anyway, just glad that some things remain.

JUMP at Esplanade Concert Hall on the 13th September. It was wonderful, got me high and motivated but I don't really get the story since they're all Koreans and don't speak our kind of English and without microphones and seated at Circle 1 doesn't exactly helps especially this irritating woman beside me must lean forward on the railings and block who knows how many people's view. Nevertheless, it was a nice martial arts performance.

Just had a overnight stay at Orchid Country Club for Priscilla Soo 's 20th birthday celebration on the 18th September. The events were all planned out. Poolside party (missed that), KTV, Pool, back to sleep or do whatever you want. I went with aizhen & 永远强壮的永壮. He's 1983 baby, 2 years to black belt. The duets for pris & yc were very smoothing and enjoyable too.

Out of 5 rounds we played I won once. Then back to square one. Played daidee at first then just sat down and chatted before they decided to finish off the Martell bought from the Aranda lounge. So here we go, up/down, 3 cards lowest points wins. Everybody takes a sip here and there, then half a cup for each round, pretty soon the Martell was finished. We continued with Carlsberg but time flies when you're having fun. yc had to leave for work at 6 and then we all had a rest.

Henri came to fetch me from Yishun Central and roughly told me about what he's doing now. On our way back (he had to go aljunied), I drove him there WOOT! It's a manual mini van with a confusing rearview and being 190cm him, the side mirrors and rearview mirror were really out of my alignment. Just as I got in and all set, 2 cars were blocking everyone's way. Who knows what really happened to the owner of the first car. It seems to me that a young boy was moving forward so as not to block the way. It also seems that 2 cars were fighting for the same parking lot. I have no idea.

I was so panicky because his reverse is different from the usual cars and the turning was so narrow and there was no space on the left side previously because of the car blocking everyone's way. I forgot to turn there must be allowance on the right side you see. Just got up the driver's seat and this kinda thing happened. Unlucky huh!? I didn't dare to continue so we switched back lol. I became the driver again after getting out of the building.

At first I was getting used to. We were at Marine Parade and he didn't give clear instructions beforehand so we were making a merry-go-round and I took off my slippers too for better handling. The clutch wasn't loose (it's only 3 year-old) so I was used to it after a short while. Pretty soon I went up to gear 4 and down and up and down. Basically the journey was smooth BUT you must enter the driver's world to understand the dangers and the irresponsibilities and recklessness of certain drivers. Namely, the MALE drivers.

I am never gonna drive at Aljunied/Geylang area, till I have seasoned my driving skills. The drivers there are HORRIBLE and IMPOLITE and just squeeze through any space they could find. Crap right. Haha thanks Henri for entrusting your car to me. Woooo~

问题儿童. Simply means I ask too much. -.-

be myself day

2009-08-16T02:44:00.005+08:00

friday was be myself day.

breakfast was at Coffee Club. first time having a meal there, the food was quite good but the service was excellent overall. however nice the food is, it is not much to my liking. i like my apples to be in a pie; i like the mushrooms to be boiled; i like my coffee to be white coffee tarik; i like my waffles to go with ice-cream and plenty of chocolate syrup. other than that, all's fine.

lunch was sort of skipped. spent my afternoon playing poker on facebook. i'm currently addicted to the game which is not a good sign as i ought to be focus. finally bought 走唱陈伟联 and 陈奕迅不想放手. i realisd i've grew up to become more daring and confident, arrogant in a sense. since we've had $20 vouchers, i borrowed a popular card for a 10% off the stationery while the vouchers for my albums. actually we only saved $2 but there was $6 off Eason's album because of GSS ?!?

getting the albums were my motivation to go for work. so apparently i lost my motivation to work earlier today as i called in sick. i would have gone to work, with sickness, if there were sufficient motivation. need to spare a thought for the kids though.

the other day i bought 2 formal blouses from dorothy perkins. on friday, a pair of formal pants from G2000. ii was very troubled as i have no idea yet if these were necessary. if not, perhaps for a proper full time job i'd find myself after graduation. even with the traveling plans or sign on, i'm sure it'll all work out nicely.

anyway, dinner was at the soup spoon. i'd say it was only so-so but the chocolate cake looks fine, i'll probably come back just for that though. the clam chowder wasn't that bad but the sandwich tasted too much of capsicums and unappetising. after dinner i went for a little workout. 324 was the score, not too bad but at the end of it bascially my hands were almost numb.

then, i thought of jerome. wished we could have played counterstrike, blackshot, left4dead or dota together. well, i had fun playing all that (except dota) and it was really enjoyable. never felt so relaxed for a long time.

fate brought me to dhoby ghaut, so i thought of trying the rocher bean curd, again. to my dismay it tasted about the same as before even though the before was already cold. guess i still prefer Mr Bean's no matter what. the queue was amazingly long, especially being a friday night i guess. along my way, there is this Mr Bean cafe 24hours. i'm going to go there for supper or what someday.

i did whatever i felt like doing. out. then, i watched whatever i wanted to watch. though there are still LOTS of shows like Doraemon, Tom & Jerry, and some HK dramas and some TW dramas recommended by some friends, and some animes highly recommended by a friend. i'll finish all that during my SIP period, where all time is to be spent in front of my laptop, watching stuffs. that'll be my mission.

till then.

Sweden with you.

2009-08-08T01:29:00.002+08:00

Ho-ho.

I went to school at 6pm when I had no lessons (self-declared holiday). We were doing Trading and Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet for 3 financial years for his Entrepreneurship (CDS). It was already almost 9pm so we took a cab to Ikea for a delightful dinner. The fare was not even 5 bucks.

Chocolate mousse. 2 Pasta with Meatballs. 15pcs Meatballs. 6pcs Chicken Wings. 2 Soft drinks.
Total: $36
Level of Satisfaction: Max.
Level of Fullness: Exceed Max.

So we walked around the place but the furnitures were all upstairs so didn't see much. More of to digest our food. I bought this bar of Sweden dark chocolate before leaving too. Continued our walk to the stop with 39 and there we parted.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but makes the mind forget.
Sometimes I do forget the existence of some cherished friends, but the moment we meet up again, nothing has changed. Love this feeling. Thanks for the almost-free meal. The food was definitely better than that of Deli France. I think I just spoiled my appetite (wanting better quality food).

:)

say something happy

2009-08-02T01:46:00.005+08:00

I passed with 10 points. Dramatic experience coz in my mind I was already thinking, it was a goner. To my surprise, I passed! You don't know how disturbing it was when he 'tap tap tap' on that whatever system they call.

So I passed everything first time, with a total of $1,052.20, inclusive of theory (BTT e trial too! waste of money i'd say) and practical along with PDL and my driving license. :)

Thing is, it seemed as though nobody could fail. I was real panicky and my engine even stalled. Once, as I was waiting to make a right turn back to Ubi. Forgotten to change back to gear 1 as I was moving into the circuit. Then, I forgot to change to gear 1 into the S course resulting in striking kerb. It was my first station, not a good start definitely. Up and down the slope was quite bumpy and I made sure I knew his exact instructions were by double confirming. However after doing a perpendicular parking (it was gooood. first i turned too fast then i turned right and left full lock and tada!), he told me to U-turn at that narrow place and told me to move towards the kerb and park there. There was a car already then and it was actually blocking my way so I moved in front lol. He even said I don't listen to instructions (luckily the car in front was moving out so phew).

No emergency brake, thankfully. No chance to show of my engine braking (learned it with the constant nagging). Engine stalled. Didn't signal when I thought I should have. However, the paper was so plain (only striking kerb) and I got a shock when he said I passed (i thought it was gone case all the way along the road, esp after engine stalled). After I got down the car, some guy was smiling at me no idea asking/telling me "pass". Yeah that's why I missed the video and wasted an hour doing nothing lol.

Wow, I haven't blogged for an entire month in July.

30th June;
Had been craving for Gelaré so headed down with Moon and caught Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Fascinating. Now, it reminds me of Batman: The Dark Knight. Heroic. I'm gonna watch it again. Bought the tickets the day before. Use NETS, and it's only $6/8 per ticket.

5th July;
Dramatic day. Again, I was just in time for my grading. Other than panickingly searching for my grading card, all went well till I twisted my knee and lost balance. Continued with the grading (sparring) and I sincerely hoped I wasn't worsening the condition. The medics in charged were spouting nonsense, about the worse, WORST senario. However I couldn't stop laughing. It was kind of a memorable experience, you know. Who gets to send off in ambulance, laughing?

What's more, after 5mins up the van-converted-ambulance, the engine couldn't get started. So they called 995. Wow, what a chance to be sent to TTSH in an ambulance, for free, somewhat laughing. I think I am the happiest patient to be sent to hospital, really.

All was a hoax. A lot of crap, the usual. Wasted my $85 and I was too stunned to react to the X-ray. It was ligament issue I have no idea why X-ray had to be taken. Claiming STILL in process.

Had dinner with AiZhen at Waraku @ Velocity while the rest went to ZhengFa Steamboat to celebrate FangBei's birthday. It was great experience as I ordered this duo-meal with a pizza and spaghetti. Had thought the noodles would be too little but turned out sufficient, while the pizza is a bit off standard. Then again, it was my first time trying Japanese pizza. Perhaps it was meant to taste that way. Not to my liking, definitely.

10th July;
Met up with AiZhen, GuiWen, XiTing, LokTo, Nick, Nigel, Naz, Hafiq, Darryl, Daniel to watch Ice Age 3 at Tampines Mall. My first movie. Not bad, quite interesting, better than had expected. TeaDot is nice, not a good place to spend your money at, though. Their hot chocolate tasted normal. However I could consider trying out some of their cakes. Same as for those at Say Cheeze.

12th July;
Travelled most distance since a long time, by foot. Terrible experience I'd say. With the tinkles of sweat and limping leg, where's the joy man. Other than the accompany. Great dinner at Fisherman & Wharfs opposite The Central. The Snow White was good, though the usual dory wasn't that bad either.

In a failed attempt to find Ya Hua Ba Kut Teh, we went to Rocher Bean Curd off Selegie Road instead. Two hours walk in total oh my God. The bean curd was already cold when I had the appetite, so guess I have to go back and try again. Also, at Tao's and Giraffe nearby.

17th July;
Date of submission for AA project was postponed to Monday. Nonetheless, we still wanted to get it over and done with. YongWen came to find Shiyu after his CRA presentation (most likely it was) and they suggested Mahjong at Shiyu's. Conveniently I was sitting beside her and I agreed with no considerations lol. Been such a long, long time since I last played!

Bought dinner, ate and started. Good experience, even won some money. Took cab home. Conveniently this taxi just dropped someone and we didn't even have to walk to main road. Turns out the uncle learns Qi Kung and he taught Allan and I to breathe in, breathe out, breathe in and breathe out through the mouth. Repeat for 200 times every morning at a park or something and you'll feel a difference. No park! Without a long flight of stairs, so I don't really do that. Money won all spent on cab fare but nevertheless, it was wonderful.

18th July;
Had Sakae sushi platter with AiZhen, GuiWen, XiTing, Janice at East Coast Park. The unagis were so tasteful, I wonder if they have them in the menu, not just for platters. The cheese sushi tasted oddly delicious too. Guess it would be good to try their lunch/dinner buffet someday!

23rd July;
Had lunch at Swensons (YUCK) with Stanley and Moon. Please provide more details when I had no menu in hand next time! Food suck. Great company. What more can I say lol. Splitted after lunch though.

Dinner was at Suki Yaki, which people said it sucked. The pudding was one of the kind you could conveniently get off shell in NTUC. The unagi in my handroll was pathetic. I liked the unagi and tamago the first time I bought takeaway though. I still crave for the unagi sushi in the Sakae Platter.

Watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with Adeline at Cineleisure. The most exciting scene wasn't in. What a crappy movie. You know, when before Dumbledore and Harry got back from wherever, the Deatheaters were SUPPOSED to be already have invaded Hogwarts and Ron, Hermoine and gang were SUPPOSED to be fighting them off. If not for the liquid luck or whatever they call it, they wouldn't have been able to stall to long. TOTALLY MISSED OUT. Boring. Boring. Boring.

Okay, back to happy stuffs, I passed driving. I wanna drive a car. Hopefully able to psycho weiguang and let me drive for a while but without the probation plates?! Time to sleep!

psycho-ed in success. of course, he has good faith in me. :) unlike that sicheong who “一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井蛇……” didn't get to see yuan dance live! at least there's video as backup.

Lost? Fret not.

2009-06-29T23:39:00.002+08:00

I've been contemplating to skip school today. The decision was made when Chia Hui wanted to skip Apel haha.

Watched Land of the Lost. Pretty lame show but watching with a lame person pretty much made it a good one. A very light-hearted show, good to watch to lighten your mood. Oh, don't forget to stay for the credits. Everyone left before the end of the interesting animations and missed the last part.

It was a good rain. Walking in the rain is really sweet. Provided it's with the right person. Walking under the umbrella is sweeter haha.

:)

Hardy Rocky Café

2009-06-28T02:18:00.003+08:00

Let me start off with my Korea Ginseng Chicken BBQ Buffet on Wednesday at Crystal Jade Korean Restaurant, Centrepoint. The receipt is longer than my 14.1" laptop!

Seafood pancake; Beef; Mutton; Chicken Fillet; Bacon; Pork; Fish Fillet; Cuttle Fish; Chicken Wing; Sausage; Grilled Mackerel; Dumpling Soup - Beef; Seaweed Soup (Beef); Beef Soup; Fried Rice with Seafood; Coconut Sage; Chilled Coconut Cake.

There's still some Kim Chi variety and spicy meat and mussels and red bean cream, which I didn't try. So anyway, anyone would see that I pretty much enjoyed eating because the quantity was not x1 but x2,3,4 and maybe more. I think I ate the most at my table, though I don't think they would agree lol.

Then Friday, is the day I finally mended my jeans. I'm having regrets about going Lucky Plaza now. So what if Levis recommended it? This is a place where everyone cheats everyone. I mean, it's a tourist attraction for goodness sake. Should have let Chia Hui's mum see it and let the pro do it.

Dhatch and I walked quite a bit to hunt for Hard Rock Café. Just the name itself has enough attraction isn't it. I'll just say, Hard Rock is not called Hard for nothing. In every single drink, and I mean EVERY, it contains hard liquor. I couldn't even tell what kind of liquor is that except the Baileys Irish Cream whatever coffee. The one I ordered was Café XXXX with Grand MXXXX and Tia Maria. I didn't think much and just chose that. Turns out, the coffee made me more sleepy instead of the intended effect. The liquor was so strong that I ordered some snacks to go along. However, second mistake. What did I do? I went to order Bruschetta with loads of tomatoes and just olive oil and permesan cheese to go along on the garlic bread. Tasted a bit like vomit, I managed to gorge myself on that. The service was fantastic though. Had to ask 3 times for a menu. Never wanna go again haha.

Buffets are so wonderful, though the after effect usually isn't. I have a good news to share! HOKKAIDO FAIR is coming soon from the 3rd to 12th. I'll probably go on the 8th since the ramen I want is only available from then.

A List of Must-Haves:
Gyokai Shoyu Ramen (Fish Soup Base Soy Sauce) $12
Mori No Ikameshi (Seasoned Squid with Glutinous Rice) $6.80
Butter Manju (Custard) $12

Maybes:
Grilled Scallop $5.50
Hakodate Chocolate $17
Dango Stick $2.30
Hi-Cocoa Strawberry Chocolate $5.30
Gelato $4.50-$6.50
Full Moon $19.80
Fruits Omelette $5
Scrambled Cheese Cake $16.50

I already bought a can of Sapporo classic canned beer at Orchard. As for the squid and cuttlefish we always get, it's 3 for $25. Haha need to be thrifty for the week for my japanese food stuffs. I spent over 30 at Hard Rock can you believe it. Well, consider buying an experience. I think their choice of music sucks though - they played Michael Jackson ALL DAY LONG.

a day with dad,

2009-06-22T23:52:00.004+08:00

Not that nothing happy happened...

I had dinner at Shokudo at The Heeren with some of the guys the other weekend. Swimming was enjoyable, at any time; so is running, cycling and playing basketball. Of course, it would include my training.

Other than that, I did meet up with Yu Ting. She's doing fine, but only keeping in touch with her TJC friends. She would be flying to England, University College, London, to study arts in September. Nothing interests her as much as arts. James would be studying overseas too, also flying off in September. 2 more months to go, we should probably meet up again before the 4 years of distance.

On the 16th June, we celebrated Florence's birthday with the Jeremys, Chia Hui and Dhatch at Teo Heng. I think the cake could be better though. Any one from Angie The Choice or Awfully Chocolate. Money constraint, oh well. At least it was fun.

So it was Father's Day yesterday. I had thought it to be last week, since I had the impression it was last week. Last week was National Poomsae. All I could say is I did well since I made no mistakes other than the parts which I couldn't correct. Silver, again. It was a close call this time round, being 0.1 and 0.2 ahead of the other 3 participants. While the gold medalist? 1.0 point leading. I wonder how she did it.

Awaiting the award ceremony, AiZhen & I went to Suntec Convention Centre to find the guys. It was supposed to be this way, apparently it did not happen. Took the card, bought the Zen, ate our lunch at 5pm, McDonald's delivery to Pacific City and returned the card. And I only took 16min to and fro Creative store -.- At least it was funny to think about it haha. Plain childishness though........ Bad influence.

Back to Father's Day. Dad took me to ParkRoyal Hotel which he said was Plaza Hotel sometime somehow. Whichever the case, we had our buffet dinner at Plaza Brasserie, upon his friend's invitation.

Roti Prata - Chocolate, Durian, Sadine, Egg, Plain
Curry Chilli Crab with condiments - white bread & fried small buns
Roast Chicken & Roast Duck Meat
Beef Noodles - absolutely wonderful, the best to my knowledge.
Sushi with choices of - Sashimi & Egg rolls, Tuna with roe, California rolls
Sashimi - Octopus, Tuna, White Tuna, Salmon
Coffee, Expresso, Milk & choices of packet Tea
2 types of cheese to go with biscuits
Braised Shark's Fin & Red bean soup
Some snacks - Fish & Prawn crackers, German/Holland biscuits (which you can find in Candy Empire), some variety of bread
Main Course - Hokkien Mee, Hainanese Chicken Rice, variety of pork, Steamed Chicken, Soft Shell Crab
Appetisers - Cold dish (Scallop, Live prawns, Oysters), Apple/Chicken/Tuna/Eggplant/Mango with Prawns salad, Cheese Beancurd
Desserts - Chocolate Fondue with fruit sticks/marshmellow/dried kiwi, LOADS of cakes in squares, Japanese Tofu, Dragonfruit/Honeydew/Watermelon, Chocolate Moussecake & Blueberry Cheesecake

This is basically ALL the food the was available on that day and I tried almost everything. Best thing of all, it was complimentary! Oh there was 3 flavours of Ice-Cream & you can make your own Ice Kachang.

Dinner (Fri - Sun)
Adult: $39.80++ / Child: $24++
(Usual Price)

I've had my filling. Wednesday shall be Korean cuisine hahaha.

can't let go

2009-05-29T02:02:00.004+08:00

hahaha i'm a bit of emotionally unstable, such that i have no idea over what?!

not a good day to start off, the usual. the first time i cab to school for a tutorial, one which moved forward by an hour to be exact. 4 bucks gone just like that. the other night, 6 bucks, from bedok reservoir. alright, then lessons! sicheong. haha most entertaining lessons i ever had.

then chia hui and i took a different route to iras, my route, through mrt. reached, ate lunch at subway, then off to iras. just looking through the gallery, wasting time, feeling cold airs all over me. tried to find shiying on level 4, but couldn't get up. walked around the shops at velocity@novena. all of them are having the great singapore sale. then splitted with her to meet rowena at city hall.

we went to dorothy perkins, and the kind stephanie helped me find out which outlet has the green hoody i set my eyes on last saturday. the salesperson at ps gave me bullshit like it's sales item we can't reserve for you, can't help you check the stock at other outlet. she said nothing when i said i'll come back later. most importantly sad to say, i can't stand people who can't articulate english to be understandable.

so stephanie called me while we walked around marina square. okay, creative zen 2GB $119, 4GB $149, 8GB $189, 16GB $249. i'm still considering if i should get and if i do, which. even though i lost my wallet, i lost 200 bucks in terms of cash and remaking the cards. oh crap, if not i would be getting that 8gb one, and would have saved 80 bucks on my external hard drive with that casing so fragile.

after dinner, i went to wisma. tried it, checked it, bought it. usual price was $46 ya. the sales price was $26.40. i bought it for $19. with the size right. the ones at ps were size 14, the one i bought is size 10. so ya hahaha. yes i'm over the moon it's green! don't worry, you'll see me in it soon enough. (:

i was dying from laughing to choking on watermelon. when my mum told me my dad got a summon for not parking at the car park. i had to email the town council to appeal some more. inside joke.

i was doing research during the roadshow after i heard about MX500 being faced out. then i realize, my creative EP 570 is nothing compared to sennheiser MX500. one being 20-20,000hz, the other, 18 to 22,000 hz. quite a big difference if you compare the price. $35 for creative, $32 for sennheiser. a bit of being cheated but i like the design and it's clip on. that's all it matters.

that's all it matters.

may fate bring us together

2009-05-24T23:55:00.009+08:00

The roadshow is over! I have no idea why they had this roadshow for 7 days straight but am glad to have worked over the weekends for extra cash, fun and laughter with friends.

Marina Square is freezing cold each time I step in there while Plaza Singapura is just, normal. MS ought to reflect on the impact they're dealing on our Earth. For the two days, there was only rowena, yong hao and I. With janice in charge on Sennheiser and the part time sales executive gao sheng. I keep thinking of his name as yongsheng.

Sales is no sales for me, so skip. Lunch at KFC, buddy meal, dinner at McDonald's EVM. Today's lunch was Carl's Jr., dinner was free from Chippy's with compliment to gao sheng. Before I want to pay him, he left to buy. After he took his packet, he left immediately. He's 25, studying Econs and Accounting in SMU, one and a half year to go. Previously from NP, biomedical engineering.

Throughout the whole thing, we had lots of fun talking to Nick D., the the-speedpaint-tard guy. Awed by his speed painting using the newest Wacom tablet which cost $599. Joking among ourselves, with gao sheng. I actually chatted quite a lot with him, nice guy. Legs aching but, not important. I'm thinking of what to have for breakfast later on and, look forward to seeing him during the upcoming PC show.

May fate bring us together again. That was somewhat what I told the St. Joseph Instituition 16-year-old Philippine kid.

smile.

2009-05-07T00:32:00.002+08:00

Almost forgot what it's like to be happy.

Coz everything was not going right. Such as the long queue for the making of concession cards at Pasir Ris Interchange and that, Bedok's Raffles Medical Group actually was out of stock. Without ez-link card, I figured it is really a hassle. Then I realized, if I have called earlier, (1/30*$50) $1.66 refund every day, but I wasted... 4 days. Turns out, I still can get the refund of my bus concession woot. Not so bad huh. The irritating part is that, no matter what I still have to re-make it even though there are people coming to school to replace the cards. What a hassle.

Decided to get the injection at the Raffles Hospital instead. Then found them at Parco Bugis arcade. Played the usual, and then Nigel wanted to race. I sat beside him, realized that someone only inserted one token. So I took the advantage and played alongside him. I ALMOST WON. Nvm, next time sure win.

The 6 of us, jieyi yonghao junwei lokto nigel and I, went to have minced meat noodles and etc. Chatted over dinner and went back to walk around a little. Really entertaining just being with them. Though there were some silent moments, but love the accompaniment. Common interest brought us together, and they are nice people. Such friendly people. We have a date on Saturday night for supper! (Okay, basically if you get to know people before they start to form cliques, things are much simpler.)

Saw mary and yx. Organize outing with jordan, soon. Till I get over the sadness over loss.

Things may have turned out bad, but it's all in the mind isn't it. Be strong. We'll overcome these obstacles together. I love you. Is it so hard to tell you in the face? I know, you know. So wipe the tears and move on! Stay strong. :)

<3

2009-04-17T03:26:00.003+08:00

you must know i think it's quite stupid to type '<3' but this heart sign really, really, explains so much. for me, at least.

we've had this gift voucher, lunch buffet for 2 for a long while now. on it stated valid for 06 months which would be till may '09, that is if we hadn't used it for just now. Swissotel Merchant Court. Ellenborough Market Cafe. 12pm to 2.30pm. Lunch Buffet for 2.

i called up for reservation on tuesday, to confirm on going on thursday. we took bus to serangoon before changing to train to Clarke Quay. i had it all planned out~ it was a sweet lunch buffet for 2.

basically the food, is nothing compared to Kuishin-bo. i wonder if it's really the food or the company and laughter, but well, there's not much variety to start from.

rice, roasted duck, pork belly w/ preserved vegetable, some fish, brocolli, prawns w/ abalone sauce
sashimi, sea bass, some sushi, dumpling noodles, hokkien mee
salad etc, few kinds of pastes & soup, some cakes, mango pudding, chocolate fondue, watermelon & papaya
nyonya food etc, corn soup, half scallop, oyster?

original price $29/adult on weekdays. food not to my liking haha. lucky it's free.

but the companionship was priceless.
<3

oh not to forget, timetable is out and and and. sicheong, we meet again. i know fate will bring us together hahaha. not one, but TWO tutorials. we're gonna enjoy our classes together yea. i'm actually looking forward to school.

day spent at Bugis. :)

2009-04-05T02:54:00.004+08:00

Li Ling asked me few days ago, if I want to go Bugis with Xinyu 大姐 and I agreed immediately after confirmation of Eng Liang's farewell buffet. They were running late, so postponed the meeting time, but I was even later than late. I think it's been a year we've met, the last time at Tampines Mall Ajisen, for dinner. We walked around Bugis Street and Li Ling bought a pair of footwear. Then we proceeded to Muji where she bought really lot of snacks, expiring snacks, that's why it was on discount. I tried the Mango Pudding pack and it was quite sour but definitely of good quality.

We made our way to N.Y.D.C. and sat down with Elmo (after the two friends at our next next table left). Evidence?

I hugged it so tightly coz I was quite cold actually. They each ordered a main course, Three Amigos (with red sauce) and Romeo and Juliet (white sauce) while I chose to have dessert (Cookie Monster Mudpie) instead as it was only 4.30pm and I wasn't hungry. My dessert was $10.95, a dollar cheaper than their main dish I wonder why. I've got no idea why Oreo cookies are widely overly used too.

They left shortly after a visit to Kinokuniya. Now I know where to get cars/motorcycles magazines but they're all in Japanese. While waiting for Jerome, I walked around and found a really cute penguin shirt. Since recent years, I bought whatever I wanted, regardless of the price as long as I have the money to make the purchase. So, I bought the $39.00 T-Shirt and a $59.90 sweatshirt with a hood. $98.90 in total, I'd really think I was out of my mind but come to think of it, I'll just treat this as a reward to my $500+ cheque which would be coming my way soon! It's not that bad, come to think of it........

Jerome has made me realized that all the problems I was having, is due to low blood pressure.
Frequent blur visions, faster heartbeat rate, easily breathless, frequent yawning because lack of oxygen, occasion chest tightening, etc.
Probably because of my nocturnal lifestyle, I'm suffering more of it now. Sleep early, have meals reguarly, so I would regain my usual appetite. He'll make a good combat medic.

First I played the pointless basketball at the arcade, then we began Left 4 Dead. It's the first time completing No Mercy, completing all the maps. I've never enjoyed playing L4D so much coz it doesn't lag! My graphics really cannot make it. I love my laptop nonetheless.

After which, we had a game of DotA among ourselves. He guided me along the way, and the AI weren't very outstanding so we could have won if 2 hours weren't finished so fast. We had a good game of L4D with Marcy and cranky though and it lasted for 1hour and 1min as stated. Then, we played basketball together this time with a score of 328 + 44% accuracy. Not bad I'd say, for he doesn't like such game and I'm not too used to the machines over there.

It was an enjoyable day, beats staying home and cyber stalking anyway.

TKD Chalet

2009-03-29T23:24:00.004+08:00

Eden, Zhu'En and I went to SMU to fetch Mingyue from her interview. I had the sudden craving for Double Chocolate donut so I messaged Eden and he said OK. When I arrived, they were each carrying a box of donuts of 6. Then, we made our way to Lim Kong Chian School of Business and waited there.

It seemed that she couldn't outshine the other polytechnic students, but hope is all around. :)
I suggested Din Tai Fung and it was of course rejected, again yet again. Such nice chinese delicacy but nobody wants to appreciate it. We went down to B1 for Burger King instead since everywhere was overflooded.

Eden suddenly talked about how helium makes your voice change, and spontaneously we went up in search of balloons and bought one each. $1 for the balloon with prints and $1 for the helium. We had our balloons all the way from Raffles City to Bedok skating park there. It was so fun as if reliving my childhood playing with balloons! This experience was however different. It started off with Eden, Zhu'En, Me then Mingyue. A lot of crap in the video but it was really darn funny. We should post on YouTube or something haha. None of us tried that before and we never heard of it before.

We went to Bedok for the convenience of me, coz I was planning to go down to DownTown East on the last bus. However the moment I reached home, I had the sudden urge for L4D. I set the difficulty to Easy though coz I only wanted to complete the game. Only managed to finish 3 maps before it was 12 midnight. After bathing, packing, I rushed down for the last bus or second last bus. It was kinda boring when I reached though.

Official 2nd year in TP, almost 2 years in TKD. First time going to the annual chalet, which is to celebrate for IVP or something. Last year because of the sprain in my left ankle coz I fell from my bike, I couldn't be bothered to go for pattern since I was so out of the team and I was really bored of pattern. After waiting for 2 years, I finally got my sports jacket and with luck on my side, a silver medal. Getting a default bronze was nothing to be proud of so I'm really glad I managed to get the silver. Contented.

Everyone was lying on the bed, watching Forbidden Siren which was ending when I reached. Totally had no idea and nothing to do. Totally no mood for chalet actually. I only went because of a friend, if not I'd probably just appear for the bbq or not at all. Because at the start I don't mix around. When I'm more comfortable with mixing, they already had cliques somewhat. And I don't like to join their clique just like that. It was just me or with the accompaniment of wengsing and yulun.

They went to McDonalds to get food for nick and lok to. Then went to Cheers to get instant noodles and went back to eat. I got myself the Sara Lee Chocolate Pound Cake without a knife, but managed to eat it somehow. Sat outside with Rowena and Yong Hao for quite some time before we decided to get some sea breeze. Can't sleep too late nowadays, so they went back with me at 4 plus. The people were playing cards and I just lied down somewhere and slept.

There was nothing to do until afternoon, where more people came. I went out to eat. The chicken rice at the food court was nice. It was so nice to be alone. So carefree and nothing to worry about. I had a game of basketball and went to the Popular fair. Bought 2 books which I find to be interesting and it was only $6. Have no idea why I'm pretty into books nowadays. Have 7 books/magazine to be read, out of which 3 are from library. Better hurry up. Got myself a durian pancake and a cup of Soyabean milk from Mr Bean.

BBQ was slow and boring with the people I don't really talk to. Went to arcade with Nigel, Shining and Jian Yong instead. Was planning to join Gwen and TK but we opened another table instead. Jian Yong's not bad. Went back at 8 plus, quite limited food. Ate whatever I could and then went to EHub for pool again. This time there were 3 tables, total more than 20 people. Had to wait for some time before it's my turn against Daniel. He had won 4-5 rounds already, and one round was because his opponent's white ball followed in. Then when it was my turn, was quite nervous because it was finally my turn and there were most people speculating this table. I played fairly well but in the end, the white ball followed in and his streak continues haha.

After that played with Jian Yong for 2 rounds, and I won coz he's too unlucky and I'm too lucky. His white ball followed in for the first round, my white ball stopped right before the pocket for the second. Before the place closed I played one round with Agustian and I won but only because he kept missing. Coz we were the only ones left in the entire place, more stress I guess haha.

I've got no idea how long I've last seen Jerome but he was my first friend in TKD. Well, coz he's the first who talked to me. Laughed a lot that night. Then he spent the whole night explaining to me the 1000 reasons females should not join the army haha. If the minimum sign on contract is 5 years, no thanks. Actually I'm not very sure how long I'd go for. Hopefully there's some 1-3 days experiencing the army life.

Had McDonald's McGriddles meal for breakfast and went home on bus 17 with Jerome. That pretty ends the chalet. The only fun part is, jieyi singing with agustian and yonghao, jerome's entertainment, POOL, basketball. A bit of daidee and mahjong, and the chinaman whatever game, I hit till my hand hurts. I guess it's more fun than staying home though.

Kuishinbo.

2009-03-27T02:33:00.005+08:00

Once again, presenting.... KUISHINBO.

Finally swam, after more than 3 years. Still learning, but progressing. Swimming is the best exercise as it trains multiple parts of muscles and is a sweat-less sport. Just the water pressure.

Finally went to yx's house. Played D&D and then gave up halfway for Pokemon Monopoly. Basically my luck was 0 from the start, but the process was really hilarious with the guys around. The way they kept finding loopholes in the game, it was just priceless. I can never emo when I'm with them haha.

Finally went to Kuishinbo, even though it's the second time. Ate a lot as I was really hungry. Didn't think we ate enough for the amount we're paying though. Had a lot of laughs there too, of course. Bill was $422.54 for tables of 10.

Wanted to type a lot of details to try to maintain a certain level of my language. Then again, no more communication skills so forget it.

I want to play WoW.

Underworld

2009-03-26T02:08:00.006+08:00

Actually training is pretty interesting. i should go more often whenever possible. Dhatch came over in the afternoon and we watched Underworld: Rise of The Lycans. We were supposed to be watching last week but she was confined. We started from Underworld: Evolution first as she only saw the synopsis of it so we had a clearer idea of the entire Underworld series. In my opinion the show is not as bad as it may have seemed to many others. Being a prequel, it explained why Viktor kept Serene because of the strong resemblance of his dear daughter Sonja. Anyway, to die under the sword of his 'daughter', I'm pretty sure he has no regrets.

I didn't really planned to go for training, even though I had nothing better to do. I took my own sweet time in central looking around and getting my rockmelon. If I think I am rich, I'm definitely getting the S$86 rockmelon off the next Hokkaido Fair. Hopefully I will, be rich. So I reached home, saw Agustian's message and Rowena's missed call. I had a momentarily mind block and thought I wouldn't see him so soon and his grading is coming. Therefore I had to go to school and pass him my green belt, conveniently return the books which were renewed over and over again. It's good to cycle once in a while so I did.

It cost over 1k over 10 years ago.
I was quite breathless upon reaching the sports hall. Probably because I haven't been cycling much, I'm not too used to the max gear. I love the trainings given nowadays. It always involve training of hand muscles and I really want to improve on mine. However for stamina problem, I'll have to really go beyond my limits. I don't remember the pattern still. I'll need to go more often.

My flu is recovering I suppose. But Nigel they all were playing with deodorant spray and I don't want to risk it so I left immediately after. Not a fan of deodorant and it irritates my nose. Halfway making my way out, I remembered the books I brought to return. Lazy to lock, I left my bike at the security guard house and ran up the stairs. I don't want my bike to be stolen. Moh Sing left minutes before I did. Then when I made my way to the library we saw each other. We stared at each other for a while I think coz it was pretty dark and unclear. Then we waved goodbyes and I ran to return and to my bike. I was so hungry even though I had a filling dinner before going to school. Anyway, I think he must be thinking I'm such a weird person or something haha.

joy of it show.

2009-03-16T08:50:00.002+08:00

Last Wednesday was a unhappy day, generally. Results made me moody and then I realized there was something called MODERATION. I guess that was why, and I was moody. Lunch with Cherie was pleasant though. The Yong Tau Foo was nice and so was the bubble tea at KOI cafe which contained honey instead of syrup.

Thursday to Sunday was the annual IT Show 2009. HAHAHA it made me laugh a lot la okay. This show was a success I can say coz I really sold a lot and it was an unprecedented lot. I guess that's the reason the next COMEX/SITEX would most probably be at Suntec too, coz of this huge success. I wonder what is recession to the consumers lol.

Basically I had too much fun laughing at different things. Other than laughing, I was just waiting. Of course the wait was in vain but I think I am more glad it was in vain than if it wasn't coz of what the guys were doing. The guys would know what I'm talking about.

All I can say is nothing really goes as planned so no more pre-schedules. Peace all and have a nice day hahaha.

what really happened.

2009-03-10T22:23:00.002+08:00

Basically things never go as planned la.

Sunday, breakfast/lunch at SuperDog with Eden and Zhu'En before Mingyue arrives. Watched He's Just Not Into You at Downtown East Cathay. The movie was good overall, sort of hit me at some point of time. I guess I learned something from it, probably. Walked to Zhu'En's house and played Bridge instead of Mahjong. Then Eden bought a bouquet soon after we splitted.

Monday, swimming cancelled - bad weather. Celebratationg of Jordan's birthday cancelled - birthday boy not free. So I met cuiwen. :) Eat, talk, walk. Then I cycled around the school compound after returning Unbreakable which was really marvellous. Feeling bored, I cycled to moon's and saw yuan. Incidently, he returned me 8 bucks for that Slumdog Millionaire. Found out more about girls serving NS and I think forget it lol. So I finally have the 7th Harry Potter book. Probably a year to finish reading.

Tuesday, dimsum buffet! 9 of us - wc jon bryan yx cs hs wj mary me. First to reach the Orient sth Restaurant at 3rd floor of Hotel Miramar. Food tasted familiar like what Florence and I tried at Peninsula Hotel. Good overall, but I think I ate too much. Went to Chinatown and walked around. Then to bugis which I left them for AiZhen. Which we dined at Ramen Ten and went to school. After which moon came to return me my sunglasses and that's it.

my schedule II

2009-03-08T03:46:00.003+08:00

I'm really worried i would leave out anything man. I think I've really been busy, people had been busy. Such that I'm meeting different people everyday haha. Or almost.

Sunday, supposedly a rest day but I guess watching "He's Just Not That Into You" at E!Hub is not such a bad idea. I'll get to play basketball (again) at the arcade too. To celebrate our moon's ALMOST straight As (GP is B and Chinese C!!!) and to mend zE's broken heart haha.

Monday, I'll finally be inviting Dhatch to my place, which is messy everywhere. We'll watch Underworld III after I explained to her the detailed details of that of II. Trust me it would be very much detailed. For fastidious means being detailed. Then, as friends we'll be celebrating Jordan's birthday at probably city area. I think we could dine at Pepper Lunch probably somewhere near Clarke Quay, if I had enough time to go for the waitress interview.

Tuesday, I'm not sure if the swimming thing is still on but no matter what, I have to meet AiZhen for dinner at Ramen Ten early, most likely 5pm or so. Then finally going to meet cuiwen for dinner. We'll have so much to talk about, for she had been busy working since after As! My best friend since sec 1. Since we joined Air Rifle Club till it became Temasek Shooting Club till forever. Best friends never change.

Wednesday, I've promised Cherie to have lunch together but don't think cuiwen can make it. Either at Clarke Quay/Chinatown/City Hall area. I'm at a dilemma on what to do. Perhaps after IT Show then the 3 of us meet up for lunch? Or shall I just lunch with her. I'm afraid of the awkward silence haha. Okay, maybe she's excluded from that.

Anyway, I thought of this person, and I dreamt of him the other night. The last time we had a proper chat was before New Year. The last time I called, was just a short conversation. He is usually the one who calls me up even at 4 in the morning with only one motive - to ask for my opinions and suggest what he should do. He was always demanding, but sensing the vexed tone, I always try to concentrate on him and tell him whatever I feel about the situation he was in. It has been a long time since we went out or chatted, not for the purpose of him attaining his ultimate goal.

It seems that he is an ingrate. But he used to thank me for the good advices I gave, and often say I am his best female friend. Now that things are going smoothly, he doesn't need me anymore. To think I used to feel guilty that he was always the one calling me up, even though all he asked was for his own motives. Anyway, what's the use of saying this. If he suddenly calls me up out of the blue, I would probably talk to him patiently and nicely to help him settle his issues. That's why sometimes I think I'm too nice. Or naive. The feeling would be different of course. His demanding tone, his perception and stand. It's hard to relate to him already, now that we've drifted. I mean, he doesn't update me or anything or show any concern whatsoever. I think I lost a friend.

Speaking of awkward silences, all I need is a chance, to get to know you better. Why won't you give me a chance? Or, would you?

my schedule

2009-03-07T02:49:00.004+08:00

I passed FTT even without reading the whole book. Quite contented with myself. Shows that I have enough common sense haha.

Going to Toa Payoh for some Aviva Ironman briefing. It looks interesting, wish I could participate instead of assisting. It would be at Big Splash on the 22nd March, overnight.
After which, I'll be supporting Flashback at Plaza Singapura. My wen ge haha. Then finally gonna watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Supposed to be watching with Raymond Wu Jiahan but he's so busy with projects sigh. Nvm, I'll wait for him to date me instead.

Nothing's on on Sunday. Finally a rest day.

Monday I shall go for an interview or rather, just a briefing if the Chinese restaurant at Clifford Pier is still hiring.

Tuesday I'll probably go swimming with the guys then have dinner at Ramen Ten and the 50% voucher I've gotten from watching Outlander on Wednesday with the guys is supposed to erase off the $2.50 debt for the chicken rice at NTU. The food was nice; the movie wasn't. Some unrealistic, lord of the rings like movie. Totally pointless and waste of money but we had fun watching together.

Wednesday hopefully I'll be able to invite Dhatchayani over for Underworld II & III. I'll have to explain what II is about first, then watch III together.

Adeline Mok Cui Wen is still working. I think we should meet for lunch with Cherie on Monday and then I'll go for the interview. After which, dinner with her. Yeah, that's the way.

Thursday to Sunday would be somewhat fun at the IT Show. This time it's only gab wuss bryan his bro keith hs weijie zach dz and maybe gab's bro eugene. Hopefully I can find the techniques good enough to sell off some macs. Needa do research on Wednesday night. Lest Ronnie really hold my pay lol.

Why am I so busy, I don't get it. I'm supposed to be busy WORKING. Tight on cash now. I even have to postpone my practical for 2 weeks. Wish me luck on getting the job. I'm finally gonna be a waitress.

There's still paintball and dim sum buffet. I wonder when. We should donate blood soon, too. Before I get sick. I'm suddenly reminded of Bukit Batok CDANS laserquest. What memories.

***

things always don't go as planned. so actually saturday, jieyi aizhen and i bought tickets to Marley & Me instead. surprisingly, fifth week airing but Benjamin Button is overwhelming popular still, such that it was full house -1 seat. as promised, i supported wen for her flash back dance performance. it's okay - you either win or lose but you gain experience either way. basically the 3 of us spent the other half of the night choosing cosmetics for our dear aizhen.

Aviva Ironman looks entirely intriguing. 22nd March 2009, 11pm (21st) at the Big Splash!. The event is huge with 1200 participants, and probably less than a hundred volunteers. Good to know there's a $30 allowance though haha. I'm glad to be of help too. 2 rounds of 950m in the waters, 3 loops of 7km at east coast park, to and fro Keppel Way or further down totalling to 19.1km. Aviva 70.3km Trialthlon. If I ever had the stamina, you bet I would join in the fun too.

post effect

2009-03-05T12:23:00.003+08:00

Nevertheless, I had dinner with the guys at Marina Square Carl's Jr, to discover there's a new outlet at Tampines One. I was still limping hah.

Tuesday was the best part. I accompanied Stanley and gang to Sentosa for Volleyball and Frisbee and watched them display their 'brotherly love'. We spent 4 hours shopping for aloysius's havanians and a shirt lol that was so long! He was pushed to the sea and didn't bring any shirts.

I've really been walking a lot these days, more than when I was OK. Yesterday was at Kbox at E!Hub with Grace zE mengyee they all. The bus stop is too far away.

Movie with the guys later. Hope they enjoyed swimming now that it didn't rain.

FTT tomorrow. Probably watching Benjamin Button too. Or going for the interview at Clifford Pier at last.

Next week, Dhatch is coming over! I'm meeting Cherie for lunch and, working with some of the guys at the IT fair. Gotta meet up with cuiwen!!

IVP 09 - Silver

2009-03-01T23:47:00.004+08:00

It was default bronze. The first round, I didn't really know how I won. Perhaps it's really the tough trainings that prepared me for this day to come. It was really tiring, that I couldn't breathe for over minutes after a short 4.5min match. My right leg was already limping, now even worse, 'cause we kept clashing. Without much stamina to begin with, I ended blocking all the way for the last erm 30seconds or so. It was so intense that I only found out my hand guard was totally out of place after the entire thing. So the end results, bruises. And I suspect it's a sprain 'cause I can't straighten without feeling sharp pain.

So now it's default silver. I tried to ice my entire leg, but to not much avail, really. So I went up with more injuries, and this time I really felt that, I could win. My only mistake is not being able to react faster and kick the unguarded area. I forgot what Alan Sir said too. After each right kick, I feel an intense pain, not being able to kick hard. So the end results? I lost. Without injuries, I would do better, no doubt. It's really a wasted one. Next year would be better. I shall see who have longer legs and as light as me. The target would none other be the head.

Everybody did well, especially peiyong. She was very sad about the close score of 5-4. She won Best Female Player, for putting up an excellent fight. Quite a number of gold, silver and some bronze. Guess there'll be an annual chalet again. Well done TP.

I am so glad I came to TP. Not only because it is near to my place, it has my favourite Taekwondo. It started out as an interest. Because of the environment, the phases/pace, the trainings, the instructors, I became who I am. So it has now become my passion. I doubt anyone else would feel the same for other CCAs. Taekwondo is not about having fun or coming together because of the similar interests, it's about determination, commitment and teamwork.

I think it was the stress Kelvin gave, that motivated me to win. Really, thanks Kelvin. So I realise I work well with stress.
Love the TP TKD spirit.

unprecedented.

2009-02-22T03:51:00.002+08:00

i don't know why i go around telling everyone. but i hope it won't turn out to be any disappointment. why is it that, when no feelings are involved, things are much simpler?

anyway, FOI was one of the worse papers i've even taken. and i complained to my mum about my first 'D' 'cause she was saying, can at least get D for this FOI not. WHAT?! i aimed for B. but apparently, it's out of reach. i can't possibly get A for that paper to even out my grade haha.

coz of the sickening FOI (though seetmeng says it's important), i strayed off to TM by wasting every seconds away. bought a pale blue casual/formal shirt from cotton-on named Will and it looks like it's for males. but who cares? it was love at first sight haha.

actually i tried asking several people to watch a movie. however none could make it/want it. jiaxin asked me out to lunch instead at Manhattan Fish Market! of coz i couldn't reject. even though no Changeling. :)

manhattan fish & chips. garden herbs fish. manhattan hot mocha. fried calamari. mud pie!
these are what i would love to try and we did. talked too much, couldn't finish my f&c for the unprecedented first time! mud pie was nice. but didn't try the dessert at B1.

digested our food from plaza sing all the way to orchard. a bit stupid if you consider the higher fare we would be paying. anyhow walked, ended up at paragon. it was my first time going there, knowing it's paragon. so many branded stuffs but some of it are actually quite affordable, to a certain extent. basically we had fun window shopping, and getting excited over Robo Bob.

takashimaya's coffee club was like a market. it was so noisy, even worse than coffee shop. the coffee or rather, chocolate & strawberry drink i ordered wasn't exactly what i expected. so it was like throwing money to the sea? haha should have drank coffee, then i wouldn't be stoning and ready to fall asleep anytime.

being tired makes me high instead. was laughing so badly at 鸟节 & donkey. till i cried. i think the whole carriage could hear my laughters. sony ericsson's C905 with 8.1mgp was fun to play with by the way. so equipped for a phone, which happens to be more of a camera than a phone. though the blue note was returned, a treat is to be given! in exchange for being treated. it's like some bonds tying us up, in a sense.

my hair is dry. my laptop is not back. i wonder what assignment my sister is doing that has to be done till wee hours. hope nothing is wrong with my laptop. and i guess almost time to sleep.

Red Cliff, Underworld, Benjamin Button, Changeling.
guess either online or theatres. Hopefully theatres, with a better movie experience. Even better if it would be at Cathay or, The Cathay.

haha. just got access to the screaming blog. but i've got no time to lose! wasted over an hour or two on the spot the difference in facebook. just had my dinner and i'm tired. how to continue my remaining 6.25 of the 12 topics?

I went to school today again. The only day I didn't go was yesterday and all I did at home was right in front here. It's no wonder my muscle aches from the day before never went away. From the standing broad jump and basketball. Perhaps I should do these more so I'll be fitter. I wish to get Gold for NAPFA so I guess I need to start running.

Time to go gym! Which I never had the chance to. I think we can go to Eden's for gym and swim! It's been a decade since I last swam. Almost.

Ask me along for swimming! And if you have any job to introduce, I guess I'm on. And if you need accompaniment at last minute, I guess I can be there. :)

Last week was Friday, 13th. I just realized. Apparently it wasn't an unlucky day to me!

V-Day

2009-02-15T19:25:00.005+08:00

Morning, went to NTU for weigh-in. Supposed to be in Bantam (I was not over weight) but ended up have to increase till passable for Feather. Wore guiwen's windbreaker with people's handphones and wallets in the pockets. While in my own, was a lot of coins and cards. The most crucial part is guiwen's belt which I think was around 500g.

All of us went TM to eat but splited into two groups. The one I was with watched Valkyrie. Supposed to watch with them but seeing the amount of money I had left, forget it. The decision was made when I could go to Eden's house instead haha. It's free and it's my first time to his house. Anyway I had fun with them at Photo Hunt in the arcade before we separated.

Eden's uncle's house is a condominium at Aquarius. Basically he was just watching anime while I was rattling away. After that went to PS with zE to find moon. Manhattan Fish Market was too ex and the queue was incredible. Told addy to go there date in the end we went to PastaMania. Saw florence with a group of young girls (her church cell group) and took the same train back.

Saw the underaged boy with phoebe and stanley came! Thought I wouldn't get to see him on V-day coz they decided not to go over to yuan's house. Delivered my rose to my GF :) and still managed to catch the last 17 bus. Am I pro or am I what. I reached home at midnight, bathe and pack and convince mum with no effort, delivered v-day gift and still early for the last bus. Overnight at zE house with eden and grace for mahjong but the progress was so slow. We were too tired actually. Went home to sleep at 7 or 8 and that's it.

Slumdog Millionaire was nice. Watched it after honghui's b'day celebration at PizzaHut on friday. Her cake was baked by Sugarloaf's Chef for $40 but frankly speaking it wasn't very nice. The chocolate cake tasted funny but the strawberries are really plentiful. Watched it with stan moon me el yuan and his botak head. It's funny how moon touched his head coz of their height difference. Movie was about how Jamal Malik, a slumdog, knows all the answers to get 10m rupiah. In the end was 20m lah and 有情人终成眷属.

All the best for IVP. I think I need to work even harder now that I'm at the losing end for my category. Unless my opponents are short and fat, which is, quite impossible. Coz muscles are 4 times heavier than fats right. The most important thing is, I'll finally get the sports jacket. Guess I won't take a break and quit now that there's more reasons to go for training haha. Till june perhaps.

Chances are self-created. I'm just wondering how can I go for Archery and Taekwondo and work part time if I'm hired by that restaurant at Clifford Pier. Community Service Club - to join this I must be sure I can wake up early on Saturdays. To do my part as part of the society. Determination k. And then I will be thinking, how I wish I understand dialect. It's like a generation gap loh.

my passion.

2009-02-12T23:20:00.002+08:00

Training was great today. It's this kind of tired at the beginning, the more I perspire the more I enjoy, where at one point I no longer feel fatigued training that rekindles my passion. I love Taekwondo, but sometimes I dread trainings. Perhaps it's my stamina problem, I have to catch my breaths after a short while. I think I won't skip trainings as I had planned to in my remaining semesters. I still want my black belt. Well, maybe there's more than that.

Woot. I reached school at 9.05am, earlier than most of my tutorials. But it was worth it la. Finally had the chance to step in to MediaBiz. It was indeed a maze. I never knew the compound was so wide. There was a specialized studio place that looks just like a real studio. Guess the well-equipped machinery is to train the students. The whole Fight Club recording only took 1 and a half hour before we are all satisfied with the final product. It was funny working with the people. mary jon weidong keat hs and YX. The only right thing to do is of course for yx to host.

Valentine's Day is on saturday, which is honghui's birthday haha. We're going TM's Fish&Co. hopefully florenz and boy can join us too. First time meeting Dave, not nervous at all. I only wonder what's happening to ec. So V-Day I failed my part as a gf, couldn't accompany my dear :(. But I'll try to maybe surprise her somehow :). Weigh-in at NTU early in the morning. Hope I'm below 55kg still! Somehow I feel that my weighing scale is faulty. V-Day, and I get to see Eden and STANLEY and zhuen and YUAN and my MOON. How great can it be. (:

Wah I couldn't believe yue's mum asked me if I had problems with my family when she asked if I could stay when she's out to tutor. My one day's talking to my mum can exceed your one week's! Pro not. :D

Looking forward to Benjamin... Button! (: (: (: But the more I expect, the more disappointment. Well, I'm prepared anyway. So.... Let's see how this works.

just blogging.

2009-02-11T02:05:00.003+08:00

I've wanted to catch Anacondas: Hunt of the Blood Orchid in the theatres but I changed my mind. Last week by coincident, it was showing on channel 5 and it was indeed a good film. Well, watching at home with my mum is not a bad movie experience too.

Then on Sunday, channel 5 showed Poseidon - the show I watched for 3 times already, and another time watching the 80s version. No matter how many times I watched, it's still as good as my first, or second. Definitely a great movie to watch with your loved ones, so you know you should cherish them, lest something like that happens. Well obviously I didn't really learn anything from films...

Monday was the epic. I was late for lecture, but usually I skip so it was a rare occasion. Then I took a lift, and a Myanmar worker entered at level 6. Suddenly the lift jerked, and my reaction was, "Is it because of the construction taking place?" He called his fellow worker, then I just looked through my notes, organizing them. Despite our language barrier, I found out that it was just the lift. I then called the hotline and during that period we talked a little, then I looked through my things again. I wasn't panic or shocked at all, wow. Rather, I was glad that I was finally stuck in the lift! For I had never experienced such cases. It was a little short and not dramatic at all though. Everything lasted for 20 over minutes.

I'm getting my PDL and I've finally called Mr Ng. People like me, I have to do the actions immediately or procrastination will overrun. I'm gonna watch Changeling and study for Basic Calulus OPEN BOOK exam on Thursday. Such a wet blanket it's open book, with all the lecture notes and tutorial answers!! Well, if I get full marks then I should get A so perhaps it's a good thing afterall. Thanks to the previous test, I'm not sure if I could get A even if I get full marks. Oh man.

光阴似箭日月如梭

2009-01-29T21:01:00.003+08:00

I want to watch:
RED CLIFF II
The Wedding Game
Love Matters
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

I may watch these too...
Changeling
The Duchess
Inkheart

I have no idea why days past so fast. Years in poly were over in a blink. Days are really passing very quickly. 3 out of 5 weekdays I have no school, officially, unofficially. I think I spent my time too unwisely. Time to reflect!

No matter what, I'll make sure I get to watch the movies I want, be it by myself or not. Perhaps it's time to start dating my girlfriends. Pretty please?

I was just thinking, my friday is still unoccupied, after make-up tutorials. And my mum hasn't went for any movies in a while. So I'm taking her out! :)

2009-01-26T00:33:00.004+08:00

i realized, i've actually managed to become friends with people i like, whom i wanted to become friends with. people like jx, mary, jiekai, isabel, etc. though we may not be close friends, we could if we want to, if we try harder.

so i was just thinking. wow. somehow, somewhat, fate brought us together, just like i wanted it to be. however, there are some exception. hr doesnt reply my offline messages, and i have no reasons to sms him. i cant really talk to him now coz he's always busy, and he thinks i like him or sth. so i just tell myself, forget it. when the time comes, it will come.

another exception. i have known him for 2 years, almost. he's always alone, always first to leave to catch his bus number 8. but he smiles and laughs too and is serious in what he's doing. haha. just, independent people intrigues me. it's going to be our last year, so maybe i'll try to find a chance to talk to him.

Happy Chinese New Year. it didn't exactly start out right coz i just missed the last bus to aunt's place. i've got no idea why i want to spend it over at grandpa's place so badly. maybe it's a custom already. partly for the pineapple tarts, for the angbao, maybe? for the atmosphere, or going just for the sake of going. to see grandpa, and grandma before it's too late. i can't imagine the pain of losing a loved one.

speaking of that, my mum's cousin, my.. aunt. she's lying unconsciously in Mount Elizabeth Hospital. room 5267 or something. heard from my mum she's suffering from several illness and has been there for 5 days already. it's new year, supposed to be a joyous celebration... she used to take care of me and pamper me. i remember the feelings. God bless.

my first hindi* movie

2009-01-23T04:44:00.003+08:00

It was a whole new experience of course, with my friend Dhatchayani, an Indian. I had no idea why I was watching with her but she really, really wanted to watch. And the title is "Chandni Chowk to China".

First we had our lunch at The Central's Manhattan Fish Market. The fish was excellent, service so-so, price was affordable! I would definitely go again for the Grilled Platter for One/Two or something similar.

Then we bought tickets at Jade cinema! It was my first time visiting Jade and I was actually quite surprised to see a Chinese serving at the box office. She was quite old though. The one in charged of candy bar, and the one who opened the door were Chinese too! I mean, this cinema shows films in Tamil, natural people who watch it would know Tamil, and Chinese don't. Nvm.

The film was really unexpectedly funny though a bit cliché and WOW, it's been a long time since I've had a 3-hour long movie. It was really worth my $8 which had an intermission for nothing. It was more of a tradition and has no reason for it anymore. I didn't expect to see Chinese acting in it though the movie title is to CHINA. Just didn't had that thought.

Anyway, the main actor was a Taekwondo black belt thus he was chosen. With all the stunts and fights the main actor has to put up, it would be of course be at optimum if he already knew how to fight without injuring himself. Though there weren't many people in the theatre, I saw Chinese watching it! Haha another WOW. This is the best indian film I've even seen, though it's my first. It's very interesting with the plot, the acting, the fighting etc. What's more, there's a sequel which is gonna be "China to Africa" hah.

We both had no idea Chandni Chowk was a part of India, btw. Many thanks to the subtitles if not we wouldn't really understand the whole thing lol. And Dhatch, you owe me $8 still.

(:

2009-01-18T21:45:00.003+08:00

i had 2 singing sessions this week.

last monday, met up with mary, jon, hs, yx, weidong and cs to return mary something. lunch-ed at pastamania. for some reason, jon and cs couldn't finish their creamy chicken. then impromptuly, weidong called teoheng for ktv at 3pm. so we took a bus, and began.

yx sang SHE, cs chose rainie yang. weidong's singing was really shocking, shockingly nice haha. cs was not bad too, esp the One Night in Beijing. i couldn't really hear jon sing coz hs was singing along w/o the mic right beside me. 3 people's first time for karoake woot.

wednesday, met up for projects, then BTT e-trial. when i reached, sam and jeryl were descending the stairs. when i was home, i was so shocked looking at dhatch's blog. i actually MISSED her but caught them. she left too early hahaha.

i brought ai-xin wan-can for my moon from home and we dined at the cafeteria. we were bascially just talking, then yuan arrived and he continued studying. after they left for their trials, i resumed my pool game in the nds. 10mins before mine, i continued from where i left off. there wasn't enough time so i went up anyway. didn't know there were 6 to choose from so randomly picked 6 then 2 and passed the 2nd time.

friday, was the deadline for cma2 so i had to crawl up from early in the morning to hand it up then head to ubi for BTT. saw sicheong & chatted with him! he wished me luck for BTT haha. i was very early because i was ahead of time by 40mins (wrong information given). coincidentally, i got on bus 8 and saw moon and yuan. so i read through the book the 2nd time and started the test.

i didn't know there was a ppt showing till i looked at the direction the person next to me was looking at. i only saw the scanning nric part, then i logged in and started on my test. roughly 4 or 5 questions i was unsure of so when it said End Test? i simply clicked ok and... PASSED.
i think i took slightly more than 5min. the invigilator signalled me to get out so i did. i went down to find out where to sign up for FTT. w/o my nric, i went up, realised i forgot to print my results. went inside to get my things and signed up for FTT. i checked just a few questions, my moon checked 1 time and yuan checked twice. no wonder so slow.

we went to katong shopping centre next, for teoheng. eden jianwen and zhuen were there already. none of us had lunch so i went down to get 4 packets of chicken rice. jw had 2. ze and moon didn't want any. sing sing sing, end of session. went to aston's for dinner. eden's treat haha. then lan at few doors away. dota and a bit of cs. then all of us took 10 to tampines and took some pictures before we split.

finally said HI to melvin on bus 67 with eden. i thought he forgot about me, apparently not! my 4/2 classmate haha. and i know he knows benjamin and jikai too. i only wonder where is tan yean miao, the notorious guy in my P2 class lol.

saturday, watched ong bak 2 with jj and cs. it was supposed to be Australia loh! i didn't know till i saw the ticket stub. apparently they thought it was too late but they didn't said it was gonna be ongbak. so i was just thinking, my first thai ong bak show, maybe it's a good experience afterall. there was a storyline well, attempted. the fighting scenes are pretty different from western and chinese styles, more of fighting to kill. then the story ended abruptly talking about karma omg. for what?! the ending was no ending but i guess, besides that it was pretty a good experience.

then i went to have a steamboat dinner with raymond! (: wow after not seeing him so long, he's still the same lah. we had a good chat throughout our journey to the east. and.... he said he was pissed coz he was actually thinking what movie we can watch together lol. anyway i know because of the work he was doing and the lack of sleep thus the irritance. benjamin button, hope we'll get to see it together.

next was xiao ai's chalet. i've never been so busy on a saturday man. jieyi and emylee were already there. lokto was on bus 15, slower than my 21. yonghao was waiting for her, so, late too. we just ate, and stood around and chatted. took some pictures, then went off already. don't know the people at all, no reason to talk to them, so we left at around 10pm to mcdonalds. chatted awhile and went to catch the last few buses. bingshun was telling me about NS life and loose joints. let's hope his injury won't affect his future performance. and i'm seriously thinking of joining. then my mum told me, "people are trying to get out, while you're trying to get in". well, lol.

Lol I don't know when the debts would be cleared, so just forget it. Take your time hur. When you get your pay in cash then you shall return!

Gosh. I'm addicted to 一支梅~ I like him not because he's handsome or whatever, but he looks really charming switching the day & night roles. Well, being attracted to his role has resulted in being mesmerized by him lol.

The show is really nice, with a lot of twists and suspense. Even the starting music sounds mysterious! My favourite show. Even better than Hong Kong ones.

to start a new year...

This is Aaron, 炎亚纶.
I knew him through 霹雳MIT, though I had already knew of the existence of 飞轮海, Fahrenheit.
In this taiwanese idol drama, he acts as the son of a famous detective. However there's something insufficient in him that he couldn't enter police school. Therefore he ended up in Sheng Ying and eventually, MIT. Mysterious Incredible Terminator. However, the term MIT also meant Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a private research university in Cambridge. Such coincidence eh?

He acts cool in this show, but there's something in him which attracts me. Probably his stern looks, the way he investigates. Probably just because I like detectives.

This is the girl which (i think) he would fall in love with, in the drama. Not all the series are out yet.

Next, you won't be surprised.

It's Robert Pattinson. The main actor in Twilight. His full of make-up face really intrigues me, for some reason.

Maybe it's the hairstyle, maybe the pale complexion he is supposed to present. Whichever it is, it's working out. He definitely had the looks of a vampire, perfect in every sense, and slow in speaking so as to match the speed of a normal being.

Don't you think he looks better in Twilight, too? But he did looked funny with that hairstyle in the movie though. And I couldn't believe girls actually giggled upon his appearance. ...

No need for me to introduce, anyone who knew me, should already know JJ Lin, 林俊杰.

Maybe he started out looking nerdy, but he kept up with fashion. And look at his dimples! Not everyone has. Well, not that i'm fascinated or what.

He acted in 原来我不帅 and I think he acted well! There were many scenes he had to play dumb - as in exaggerated since it's a taiwanese idol drama - and it was really comical.

He was the appointed to be the Ambassador of the WCG 2008 by Samsung. Of course I didn't attend, I didn't even know till it was over. But it's alright, I'm more into songs anyway.

For his previous albums - well, they all had a storyline - i didn't quite like all the songs. Probably because they are more slow-paced or too hip-hop. But i do like him, a lot.

His newest album JJ陆 has songs of all types, from love varying to hip hop and to condolences. I've already heard of the more smoothing songs since I found them online. After I got the album (great thanks to my moon) I discovered the rest. Even though people may say, he got some well-known singers in the album so as to publicise it. However, with the mixture of the artists, the songs went really well.

I especially like 黑武士, with JJ's vocal and 阿信's lyrics, it was fabulous. Once heard, most people could tell it's written by him, coz his style is there. A change of singing style to a different type of lyrics, the match is simply wonderful.

Not to mention, 街道, inspired by Dr Moon & Mr Mars. The tone is very catchy and I really think he handled it very well, singing the best out of the song.

醉赤壁 is most likely one of the songs for 赤壁II. All the more I want to watch. JJ music world~

我还想她 is more of the usual JJ style, but this time with a different touch. It's not as slow-paced and, I may add, boring. There's more variations in his songs now and it's really, amazing.

小酒窝 is definitely nicer than 被风吹过的夏天, since the change of female singer. Personally I feel that 金莎's vocal is too high and doesn't blend with that of JJ. However, this 蔡卓妍's voice is much better, together with JJ's. Basically I don't get the meaning of the older duet. For this, I know. Mesmerized by the dimples. You just have to look into the meaning, really.

I like all the songs in this album. And I believe, this album is the best so far, in the entire music world. :) JJ rocks!

mummy <3

2008-12-22T22:45:00.003+08:00

mummy's so nice. i said i am very broke and she said, next time before i withdraw ask from her instead.

gives me more motivation to earn more money. how i'm open to persuasion but not coercion. oh, she has a terrible temper - she gets really irritated by a couple of small matters and then connects them with some other irrelevant matters. how genes work.

<3,
kat.

kuishin-bo.

2008-12-16T00:26:00.004+08:00

it's jonathan gan's birthday.~

went to katong shopping centre for singing with mingyue, mingyuan and engliang. samuel and his gf were there, but might as well take them as not there. there were only 4 of us singing. it was funny most of the times and hey, my singing's not that bad haha. at least when i'm not lowering my tone. "she will be loved" and "原来".

went off at 7pm as we were supposed to. almost overslept my stop but for some reason, i reacted fast enough to ask the driver where is suntec city. usually i would just wait there and look around, figure it by myself, too late to say i want to alight.

weijie, jon, bryan, sam, hs, mary, gab, ws. each person was $42 rounded off. i had a lot desserts before starting with main course. the soup over there tastes weird. the raw tuna tasted weird too but raw salmon was especially nice to me though i'm not a fan of raw meat. the others were okay. there were plentiful of snow crabs and i had my fair share so i ate my worth i guess.

the special thing about kuishin-bo is that, every hour or so, they will ring the ice-cream bell and limited desserts would be given away on first-come-first-serve basis. with lucky draw, which 1 person from that table would be given free buffet voucher for immediate use. there's little main course. well, being a japanese buffet restaurant, the highlights would be sushi so that's the way it is. very ex, but i'll go again with the same guys if i'm not too broke.

great day spent with 2 different gangs. (:

more happenings. definitely at least for next week.
i had a haircut`
people said it's better hah`
in my opinion it's weird`

learning driving!

2008-12-09T23:32:00.004+08:00

Haha. I think I'm gonna fail, I'm really gonna fail. 10m question left untouched, 9m question incomplete, 18 marks question with WRONG FIGURES. Haha good luck.

Probably I haven't got into the 'study mood' thus the last minute studying, not revising for I haven't done a bit of reading. Probably my urge to achieve a gpa if 3.0 isn't high enough. Probably I don't think I would be disqualified for double electives. Probably no matter how badly I have done/am doing makes not much difference. Probably how well I'm going to do would not improve my gpa. Probably, probably.

The time of the year, for a 4I outing. But why is it such a chore haha. There's TOO MANY in a class. Not all replies me immediately, if at all. Oh man.

I signed up for BTT! Went with mingyue, mingyuan and chunming. Total $27.40 includes $10.70 for an e-trial before the real Basic Theory Test. I wanna learn Class 2B motorcycle! Mum suggests I find someone to learn with. Anyone?? :)

Christmas is coming! This is the festive for breakups?! REALLY. Friends of my friends, and I kinda expecting one more, but I probably won't hear about it even if it happened. I wish they will recover fast, and know that Love is all around! (:

Most importantly, I read xiaxue's blog after like 500 days and found this indulgence.
Indulgz Bistro is offering this Christmas set meal for $89.90++. YOU may think it's super expensive but hey, I looked through the menu it seems worth the while! This is one of the instances that I wish I have a boyfriend, even if I were to force him to go and give him a treat. But of course he would reject the offer but go with me anyway. Haha. Maybe 2 years later, or 5.

guilty!

2008-12-08T18:58:00.002+08:00

Never have I wanted to play so much before.
Never have I spent my entire 3 days watching videos before.

This phase only happens before tests/exams when I'm already unprepared, and made it worse.

My mum has been really nice to me these few days though. Causing me to feel more guilt.
These 3 days, duck rice, chicken rice, duck rice with braised egg were for lunch;
KFC twister & waffle, 和记猪肠粉 for breakfast;
apple pie for tea; chicken abalone instant noodles for supper.

haha i love to eat. Eighteen Chefs' ice-cream was really nice with the chips. jennifer and i tried that $7.50 three cheese (fute, parmesan, mozeralla) omelette and it was oiishi. the mango smoothie with strawberries was really nice too, glad that it was worth the $3.50.

wednesday Food For Thought, with dhatch!
friday signing up for BTT (finally) with my moon!
21st meeting 4i, if nothing goes wrong hurhur.

i don't understand all the topics. i skipped some tutorials. i skip lectures, even if i went, haha i disturb dhatch. i have to work really, really hard. worse of all, i have to rest early if not i can't think. i'm not gonna repeat history and up my GPA to 3.0 yea. can't let myself or anyone else down.

study time.

2008-12-08T04:33:00.003+08:00

hahahahaha. it's suppose to be study weekend, a long one indeed from friday to monday. but i chose to make use of that to START watching MISS NO GOOD 不良笑花!

hahaha it is funny alright but at the start of the show i really didn't want to continue. total 14eps, 15hrs++ spent. i'm so tired to study and, i haven't start at all lol. am i pro or am i what.

STUDY. CMA, INT FIN, FOI. i'm gonna make it. i have to increase my gpa if not my electives may not be AA + CAC lol. i am SMART. i should at least get a 3 since people in my course can still maintain 4 omg.

i love november rain. december's rain is fine too. (:

this is an important month. hah.

post-birthday treat.

2008-12-05T02:54:00.003+08:00

for all sorts of reasons, no names to be mentioned lol. well, just one.

let's only mention the happy things, forget about how badly i did for the basic calculus test and how i didn't manged to meet sicheong. (CALL HIM ASAP)

it was raining. there i was, sitting back facing jeremiah and his gf. no matter how many times i've tried, i couldn't connect to TP-Secured. since he was on his way, i had myself prepared to find him. however, being muddle-headed sometimes, he went to engine school LT 52 entrance G instead! i walked as fast-paced as i could so that he wouldn't wait long. he even sheltered me with an umbrella. so sweet right! so sweet.

there we were, haha deciding where to have dinner. naturally i would suggest the buffets i've longed to go. it would be too filling so we didn't go ahead. final decision, Tung Lok at East Coast! (actually he said Fei Cui Xiao Chu but oh wells.) the rain was still heavy and pouring down. the ride was quite long, probably coz of the slippery roads. anyway, i want to save $20,000 too and then buy a car which should probably cost around $50,000. then i'll repay the installments in 2 years' time which would be $1,000 or above each month. this is my target. i want to drive!

i realised we had a lot conversations today. i mean, today's the most natural one with no silent moments. probably coz i was in a good mood knowing our dinner would be good haha. we walked around the bowling alley and the arcade. feeling hungry, i had this darn good brownie (it's the name of the brownie haha so mcdonalds) and he ordered a hot chocolate with marsh mallows. it was kinda weird for the presense of the mallows wasn't it. anyway the brownie was good after the heating and the additional chocolate sauce. the cake was soft, with chocolates of sweet and bitter taste. just the type i like most. (:

after i was done with my brownie, he helped me get a cup of iced water. i've been thinking of getting it after i'm done, but he's faster. haha so isn't that so sweet of him? the cup writes: ICE (cool) + CUP (i forgot) = SMILE (DELIGHT) it's kinda funny coz i don't think i was in delight drinking the iced water. i was smiling coz of the sweet gesture and not the drink haha. his hot chocolate arrived with a chocolate powdered star and some designs. it's kinda tempting. nice coffee art!

we just continue chatting again till it was 6pm, when Tung Lok will reopen for dinner. then we just waited awhile while looking through the course meals menu and waited to be seated. we took sometime looking through and deciding, and finally ordered. Beijing Duck with the super crispy skin, wrapped in egg crepe and sweet sauce and cucumber. such a delicacy! next was scallop with rice cracker bowl with brocolli with crab and roe, it was heavenly! our duck meat was sent away to fry with rice, it turned out dry haha. the people were a bit over-enthu, kept wanting to take away our leftover cucumbers, so we let them after their 3rd try. also, refilling his bowl, so he let them during their 2nd try, even though he was too full haha.

i tried Pu'er, Xiang Pian, Tie Guan Ying today. haha so much tea! i wanted to see if i tried before, and if it's nice. so, TGY, P then XP. most bitter to least. i prefer the strong taste TGY just like how i love my white coffee taurik, owl brand. him, on the other hand, is the opposite from me haha. anyway, for dessert, we had chilled mango pudding but it was the squashy concentrated one and i prefer the jelly, bouncy one. then i thought of Sakura at simei, how it downgraded to the kind i don't like. one less place for good food yea.

he said he has something to pass to me, i was wondering what. then after the dinner i realised it was a post-birthday treat hahaha. and the present, i got them after he sent me back. i think he reached the camp quite late hope it didn't matter, as what he said. oh, and the bill for 2 was $98.75 hahaha expensive but it's probably okay with him. i was shocked and i was touched. so sweet right! (:

nothing words could say. special treatment, no doubt i'm his favourite haha. he was wearing this adidas All I Need Is <3 shirt and he doesn't know what's that creature in the heart haha. it'll be so sweet to have a boyfriend like that. raymond promised to celebrate his birthday with me coz he neglected me while busy with projects. (: 17FEB2009.
if i have 2 guys i like most, it would definitely be these 2. >"<

btw, SITEX was lousy maybe really coz of economy downturn. but definitely also coz it's at expo. i earned the least, unless hs can beat that. anyway, i realised zach not as unfriendly as i thought hahaha. no, you see, anyone's first impression of him won't be very good coz of his facial expression. well but this whole clique, they click, not without a reason. most if not all, are so lame hahaha. the most happening event was, i mishit and punched him at the side of his eye. haha i was sorry but it was so funny. it should heal already right. thanks all for suffering my punches lol. special thanks to bryan. also, keyi, wusuan's friend, said i was very huggable and kept hugging me throughout the show haha. perfect height for her boyfriend. she was nice alright. good experience, happy times, BAD sales. BONUS: yue, yuan, eeyen! sicheong too! weiwei and junwei for the snacks. (: but eeyen was the one who PAID. those haven't paid, pay him arh.

timeless memories

2008-12-04T02:06:00.002+08:00

my heart will melt if anyone give me anything from here.

haha.

my birthdayy! :))

2008-11-24T21:24:00.004+08:00

heyy.. it was my birthdayy yesterdayy. okay, i had a number of celebrations with various people. and i'm so happy to receive all the greetings even though it was just a short 'happy birthday, kat!' :)

alright, so on friday (due to my request), our original plan was to have this Seafood buffet at Ritz-Carlton hotel but they obviously find it too expensive.... We decided on Fish & Co. at AMK Hub instead. So as usual (heh), yep, I was late but well, I was too lazy to get out after my late and filling lunch on my favourite fish's cousin - as my mum said it - 豆仓鱼. however, technically i wasn't late@! coz he decided the time to be 1845 and I reached around 15mins earlier.

the people were - Ivan Lim, Tan Hong Rui, Lim Jie Xian and this extra guy, Thomas. ivan is my gunbound friend i knew like 4 years ago, and the rest i just knew from FairyLand haha. i don't just meet any strangers one okay. i had nice chats with them before the outing. i mean, for me to want to know more about online friends, i must really like them.

coincidentally and deliberately for one, we all had New York Fish & Chips. i noticed them whispering and whispering but i didn't think much. until, it was too obvious haha. okay so here goes "fish & co fish & co GO!" and i get a free cheapskate ice-cream, vanilla flavour. but it's the thought that counts right, and it was my very first time having this, celebration.

actually i was supposed to be having dinner with Dennis at The Courtyard, but he had to accompany his girlfriend. however before we confirmed this, i'd already asked them out for dinner. just so coincidentally that it's on the same day, and dennis couldn't make it in the end. i appreciate the kind gesture and the surprise, though. :)

***

then saturday wasn't so much. i woke up late and missed fetching my moon and michelle, then met the guys up for BTT but the place closed at noon, way before we arrived. meeting gabriel and wuss, we went to this hawker centre nearby eunos for lunch. after which, we travelled to VivoCity for this movie called Body of Lies. not surprised i knew it after the credits, the male lead was Leonardo DiCaprio. we sat at the first front row, so i had a major headache till the rest of the night coz in this movie, it's pretty jerky. well, they're sort of in a war, aren't they.

thanks to jonathan gan, i wasn't the lightbulb for the two. and wow am i surprised jordan kang actually came out to meet us, after what seemed forever. so it was pretty awkward for the two, and lovingly sweet for the two. we settled at HK KimGary Restaurant thanks to adeline's past recommendation. i had the wrapped fish in egg with mushroom sauce, jordan followed suit. jon had korean noodles with ham & egg. gab and wuss had the set meal (which the white sauce doesn't taste nice and it's not that nice overall). jordan had an extra garden fresh broccoli with double cheese, but the cheese tasted like milk instead. mine was the nicest! it was really appetising and once in a million, i finished first! haha. so you can guess how nice it was. i'm going back for that same bowl.

the night ends off with jon and i at the interchange, waiting for his 196. it's been a while we had a chat over the wait and of coz, it was nice. :)

***

sunday! mum and i decided to patronise KFC after a millioneth day, and they decided to turn us away, just as it was our turn. i hate KFC and i would never wake up early just for their overly-priced breakfast, period. we went to our highly reliable Burger King instead. expensive, but it was worth every while, considering the service and the food quality. i just love that turkey ham croissantwich and those round-shaped hashbrowns.

coz i woke up early, i was basically tired and really lazy so even if i was meeting wen at 7pm, i reached 45mins later *whoops*. and gem was waiting patiently (she had to) at bugis. meibin needed to rush project and derrick, couldn't go. we went to the bbq steamboat opposite parco bugis, right in front of TopOne karaoke. overall the food wasn't bad but it was soooooo warm!!! the fish was nice and quite fresh and maybe the prawns too. notice i didn't say 'very fresh'. i didn't had my fill coz bugis village was closing and actually i had quite a lot. mainly i didn't had much rice, and mostly fed on fish lol.

they took me to bugis village and i bought some things.. well. we took bus 7 home and that marks the end of my birthday. but after that i had a really long and rare chat with steve haha. for someone as busy as him, it's hard to chat with him but all's well, for him and for us. :)

***

today, monday, the long-awaiting Singapore Flyer lol. we went to Eighteen Chefs which i've forgotten about for 2 years and the food is still as good or even better! For just $11.20 for 2, you get to enjoy a cheese baked pasta/rice, an iced tea, with an additional free ice-cream with chocolate chips! what a delicious meal with that small boy asking if we enjoyed the meal, how sweet can it get. (:

we rushed to city hall, and the 30mins flew past just like that. the peak was only 1675m (or so) and even for someone who's afraid of heights (like me) it wasn't very tall really. i thought i would tremble or something but apparently not. then off we zoomed to Popeye's the sailorman *hoo hoo* and have some biscuits or two. With discounts to Movenpick's ice-cream, we made use of it. some coffee ice-cream which was not bad, but it tasted more like Mocha than Expresso. that chocolate truffle cake was so sweet we had to play scissors-paper-stone to see who finish the last 3 bites. and that wangjie's service was so bad! i wonder if it's because her english is too lousy or she's in a gloomy mood or she just can't serve. i wonder why she has been left in charge alone. i wouldn't trust her if i were the in-charge. and it made me miss the me when i was ~~working~~ slogging for primetrica. i apologise for nothing and everything lol. so polite i was so shocked to realise. but shortly after i quitted, i slowly returned to my normal self haha.

this marks the end. but there's more to come. cuiwen, my moon, and simei part 2. (:

THANKS GUYS. i appreciate everything, deep down inside my heart. even if you didn't wished me, i know you remember. somehow i don't know what i did, there's a handful who CANNOT forget my birthday. gabriel, raymond, steve, jonathan gan. the others like jiekai, chin hong, daniel, derrick always make an effort to remember haha. yea i'm touched! but i really have no idea what 'charm' i did to them LOL. etched in their hearts, i guess. and i believe we won't lose touch. :)

food for thought.

2008-11-13T00:14:00.002+08:00

i played a bit of basketball last thursday, but next day i had a whole body of muscle aches. i went to work, feeling extremely cold, then warmed up myself, back to coldness. this vicious cycle caused my body to heat up and with headaches till today. i missed 2 days of fun with the guys and my basic pay. however, as the saying goes, tomorrow is a better day.

whatever angry thoughts i said, it's in a fit of anger. my thinking is constantly changing haha. dhatch asked me to go for this usher interview at national library for their drama stage. the pay is really attractive, even better than that of SSO. the interview was, quite bad in my opinion well...

most importantly, we went for dinner after that. my only meal that day. the title of the dish is too long i don't remember but the buttery corn along with my special ham is really yummy! her basil spaghetti is marvelous too, but please, don't add any extra hotness to it.

the dessert. we found this shop because of the 'free dessert if you spend above $12' but obviously we've forgotten. the meal was filling enough. then the desserts - date pudding and brownie. the brownie isn't the normal cheap ones, it's very enriching but would taste better with a scoop of ice-cream. the date pudding, is actually more of a muffin and there's no 'date' taste! the flavour lingered in my mouth for that rest of the night and i was still thinking about it the next day! it was really special and unforgettable. even more recommended than the chocolate brownie.

i went there for that dessert that doctor recommended but i couldn't find it. as i exit, this girl was eating the velvet red dessert with white coating. no wonder! i'm going back~~ with dhatch. :D

one of my happiest day.

2008-11-06T00:16:00.002+08:00

before i start my tutorials....

(tuesday) it all began with my 9am adjusted tutorial, my dad sent me to school. the one and only time we'd get close. being sleepy for only having 3 hours rest, i overlooked the fact that the teaching was slow, so it was pretty on track to me. then, i went over to mcdonalds for dhatch, florence, chia hui and honghui. she's still the same, not as high-pitched voice. we chatted, walked past A star and there! Chang Song, Sam Chong, Yu Xiang, Jon Gan, Mary-anne. they sms-ed me for the movie REC - long time no watch movie with them! regarding the roadshow too, mary's working so she might come over for supper.

we strolled to school, then separated to different locations. it's been quite some time i've seen them around in school haha. lecture was done quite smoothly, then commsk was short and sweet again. with nothing to do, i met xiao ai, emylee and jianyong (xiaohei). chatted with them over the computer, one after another (sat separately). after which we went over to design school for the spaghetti with sausage. it was so little even though i added extra spaghetti. sausage was well, worth it's money. what do ya expect for $3+1? not as if it's botak jones' $7 gigantic italian sausage. :o

training was tough as usual. after that, we had pretty much to talk about. that's what i like about this new batch hoho. we can communicate better i don't know why. especially agustian! and junwei, who hasn't been coming but i've psycho-ed him to go later. then there's xiao ai, and lokto with common basketball interest! also, i've gotten yonghao and quanliang 's numbers. see when the need arises hah. saucony, miss that buggy ride :D

cma really sounds like cmi to me. :/

from emotional to delectable

2008-11-04T01:06:00.004+08:00

actually i wonder how many people really know me. i get irritated really easily nowadays and vent all my frustrations only in one place - home. i've been trying hard but in the end i just let out my emotions, couldn't control them. it's like i'm really emotional ... which is so un-me coz it's just, too expressive.

i wonder if the things i once stood firm to, do i have the same stand still? improvements are not part of growing up. it's a part of life.

i worry for my future, how am i going to complete proposals after proposals whatever administrative job i take. i wonder which of my potential job prospects is really paperwork-free.

i've been wasting enough time, time for an early good night rest and a training stretching my potential to the fullest. after the final completion of FOI, which was not part of my plan.

i'm looking people for the fullerton hotel chocolate fondue, kuishin-bo buffet, ultimate indulgence chocolate cake, choc-a-lot cake, haagen dazs double chocolate curl ice cream cake oh and i welcome billy bombers again for that 1-for-1 treat during this coming weekends! my, seeing food, my entire mood has been lighten up. i yearn to try all sorts of cakes of gelaré, secret recipes, starbucks etc etc. those which i can find much cheaper than in Singapore as compared to in Malaysia. how i wish i could drive now, with my own personal car, making trips to and forth in the speed of lightning! this is what i really want, for now.

my guitar skills - cmi still. piano - need to scout for a good centre (so much for long fingers). however, after a week of sore throat and bits of coughing, i'm no longer sick! thank God!
i hope this coming roadshow would be a success, and may we pool again~ i want to make loads of money to try different kinds of food lol. this, really is my ultimate motive for the riches. four seasons durian café with mum! soon, i hope. we, the children, need to repay the parents for their sweat and saliva in whatever they did, all for the goodness in us.

Food For Thought contributes to a good cause! Must support.
Durian road stall which seems to have good quality durians. Shall go there and see.
Hard Rock Café is also one of the places I've yet to visit. Dhatch go with me!

I'm in good mood to treats but my wallet says no all the time. :(

the podium

2008-10-30T00:01:00.002+08:00

i have a new found liking of our school! the only mystery is why is it that in a short 5 minutes nap i had a dream twice as long.

the seats are so comfy.

you.

2008-10-27T00:37:00.002+08:00

it's been some time since we had conversations so i'm really happy that he asked me out. he is a friend who i can chat with him just about anything i want. he does have a temper but i will take notice. guess that's why we became friends so suddenly.

he burnt his laptop charger so we went to simlimsquare. one hp original charger costs $60 and that's the cheapest we saw. then we dined at nydc, and we both ordered the lagsana. after which ice-cream from mcdonalds and arcade. i'll never miss the chance of playing the street basketball. the best thing about teamplay: better performance. my highest record was 202 and with xiaoai was 280++. first round was 405/450, second was 390+/451. there were a lot of couples teaming up and they were so good! okay, we weren't that bad either. at least more than half their score.

oh btw, i wanna apply for a debit card! for fun haha. UOB Campus account/TX account. i shall apply the TX account since it's 16 to 21 years old and the Campus account i dont know if poly students can apply or not. best of all, FOC.

mum made sushi for me just now. so sweet. :)

the ultimate pool day

2008-10-24T00:37:00.003+08:00

1year 4months ago was the last time i pool-ed. cs pools often so we suggested going on thurs since not much lessons and friday they're celebrating birthdays (cs & hs) so, not free.

my basic calculus for business ended at 3pm coz she was sick. so the usual, library for viwawa. then yx finally replied my msg so we met in school and took 15 together. we chatted quite a bit, rather surprised we would go together and how we can communicate. in the end we were the latest other then sc. mcdonald's for dinner sub lunch, then 10th floor pool.

it was fun reliving the past when we would meet up regularly (every sat night to be exact) for pool at valley 8. those wonderful times we had, would it be the same?

anyway pool along with so many around 8-10 people was rather interesting. it's ironic that i knew tms peepz better after we left though. 2 tables amounted to $60 but it was only around $8 for the 3 hours stay. i like them alright, just that i'm getting too used to vulgarities. other than the 6 from road show, jon & weichoy were there too. next IT show at expo is 27-30 nov. 10 more ppl needed, anyone interested?

there was some misunderstandings but it's alright la. bad mood mah. just sad about the things said. 祸从口出，说得一点都没错…… aiya i hate myself for losing things because of forgetfulness. it's not as if anyone stole anything. my previous favourite panasonic v6 was left behind after lan gaming with gab mary jon etc. only realised it when i reached home. my 1gb memory card and reader left behind in lab 5 or sth after printing time-table and survey to collect the army souvenir (doesn't look like it). on monday, i realised it only today after noon. sigh.. i pray to God i'd be able to find it.. but i lost it.

i love my mum for being so understanding for everything i did or did not. for the extra care and concern for the muscle aches i constantly have. for the extra money for my wellness and being. but i spent like 30 bucks on dbl 0 entrance fee and that peach margarinata just like that. and our everyday lunch cost like 10 bucks with supper amounting to 5. then 10 on seaweed and chocolate cookies from robinson, another 10 to top up. is there any left? nooo. =/ but seriously, you earn to spend. what if you just die like that? what would be your regret i dare not think. the only savings i need is for dental and mum's cpf payment. i have no idea why is govt chraging interest on us for borrowing parents' cpf. their form of cheating money in the legal way. i want to earn more to give mum, for she had been pampering me too much...

those people i said see you soon to, come to think about it, they're so fine without me, why bother? i don't think they need us this group of friends. some others, we were best friends. too bad that's past, not possible to relive that again. i've let her down before especially.. the other, i'll definitely ask her out. that's about it..

i enjoy freedom, but deep down inside, i think i'm really envious of the duos. but no matter what, i would still have freedom. the bad thing about being alone - i'll forget things, you can remind me. oh wells. i need to change my temper, not so hot tempered too.

i love my friends.

yinhow still owes me my pay.

Marina Square Road Show

2008-10-20T01:12:00.002+08:00

This time it's only for a duration of 3 days because it's just a road show. As usual we were trying hard to persuade people to buy our stuffs so we would get our commission. But hello, I speak with sincerity to all our potential customers.

So I sold 3 laptops and 3 ipods which means total pay would be $216. The only guilt I still have in me was that, I was supposed to 'deliver' this laptop to him, a 42km sundown finisher sponsored by adidas, but CL did me the favour instead. I hope he doesn't have a bad impression on me coz I like having good impressions left behind.

Gabriel, Chang Song, Yu Xiang, Bryan Tee, Samuel Chong, Hongshan and I.

Actually, who would come to a mall like marine square, with the mindset of getting a notebook/ipod? Sales was bad but it's sufficient for me. I just feel really bad for yx for not selling any notebook. It takes luck to sell one. Maybe he used it up during the last IT show.

There was little crowd on friday, more on sat, even lesser on sun. Conclusion is, working people don't like to get out to shop on sundays. They'd prefer fri/sat where they can stay out late. Like the club we went to - Dbl 0 at mohammed sultan road. Nightlife is soooo bustling before 2am and we couldn't even find a place to stand. Being unofficially 18, The Arena (clarke quay) rejected me! I would never forget. Haha.

So here comes the most important part:

With so little potential customers, basically we chatted our way through the entire thing. The most funny part was, Billy Bombers became our lunchtime favourite. The Obama burger was 1 for 1 and only gab and I got a pair of vouchers for some other discounts. The weird thing is, they only gave it to us when we all went on the same day. But we shared among ourselves and all ate the fish & fries 1 for 1 on sat/sun. 'Cause sat hs ate with us, he didn't had a partner so we went KFC instead. (we have coupon for that too).

It's like spending quality time together with friends in a 3 day camp. We had loads of fun joking laughing playing and just doing nothing. Though I wasn't close to them but I don't don't like them. Well I like all my friends bascially and they are, indeed my friends. They're a funny bunch of people no wonder they all click so well. Some things can't be put to words. I can only say I had my share of fun and joy. I knew them better, but still I'm quite shocked to read their blogs. Well the inner mind is different from what you perceive.

I owe bryan $1 and yx $0.70 am I that broke yes I am. I'm still waiting for my pay.... Awaits the next road show with the same people haha. Plus Zachary. He had an eye infection, that's sad. Relive the 牛老师 times. WE ARE GOING POOL ON THURSDAY YAY! it's been a year or over that now. Aidan, where are you?

I remember super clearly Chris WONG said I look blur. Please, I am NOT. I just don't know how to reply you when I'm just sick of you, repeating.

TPTKD!

2008-10-05T22:44:00.004+08:00

Eek! I think there's a virus in my beloved notebook. I can't check my mail no matter what I do. Need to get the Norton Antivirus software from weiguang soon.

Yay, I didn't waste money on taxi! I was really on time today though others reached like 2 hours before me... Thank God there was more than enough time for me to settle down, though I wasted 30mins of bus waiting. During my grading, there was so much space but we cramped together. This makes me pissed off. Hence I was nervous and shaking so as you can see, phew I passed.

Woot. I really spent some quality time today with the rest. First was at Carl's Jr., then the arcade. I didn't know so many love basketball! My, are they strong. After half a round I'm already tired. Oh we played this stupid ball-throwing game and because some of us are tall, it's pretty easy to score and well, cheat. Haha but the fun is there! They were gonna watch Eagle Eye but nope, it's not time for me for that. We chatted on the floor in front of PS gv till their showtime. Then, Augustine and xiaohei (whatever his name is i forgot) and I went to the dhoby X-Zone. Xiaohei was pretty good in Initial-D piao yi~ Yea, we played the street basketball too. So my whole body is aching but I'm gonna train my arm muscles to break my high score record of 2-0-2!

I love TPTKD. :)

**Oh! Jerome mentioned something super important today at Carl's.
"Actually, we are all related."
Yes, we all are. You know, since primary school no, since kindergarten till now you never know how many you really know so it's pretty hard to make sure how you're related to anyone anyhow. Especially since EVERYONE (or almost) on Singapore was not born here. Most of them died in war, remember? A lot are immigrants. China, Malaysia, Indonesia, uncountable. Thus, maybe my forefather (in china) was your forefather's neighbour! :o
like, how are you so sure all your ancestors are REALLY from Singapore. formerly called, 《新洲》.

yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away. (karaoke)

2008-09-26T01:40:00.003+08:00

haha. wednesday, 24th was howard's birthday. there was winnie, dennis and howard's friend xinyi. well, i knew them through viwawa. can't believe i can make friends while playing bridge man. but i'm not even close to them, mere friends. so when they said they're going ktv to celebrate, i was really hesistating.

coincidentally my boss gave me off the next day. on account on his birthday, he's actually quite nice la, and winnie, i went. their favourite hangout is bugis arcade. we went to topone opposite, timing was 11pm to 5.30am. spending such a long time together in a room, i don't feel so distant. they're okay la just feeling really weird that he said he's asking his closer friends. there were only 5 of us, i thought there were more so didn't want to go.

overall i enjoyed myself. he just doesn't really express himself well. perhaps because he's malaysian, i feel closeness. this makes me miss defeng man. wish he could come over to work soon.

原来我不帅 is a comical drama serial starring JJ Lin. i have absolutely no idea how long it's been out. yesterday, i realised a lot of songs which i've never seen/heard before by him. anyway, i'm watching this short 13 episodes drama online. this rekindles my passion for him. haha, JJ rocks.

after LONG hours of streaming, i'm finally done wtih Kungfu Panda. rocks the world. i love kungfu if you don't know. and i love panda. i used to hug my sis's gigantic panda every night. and being FAT makes him so adorable and cuddleable. should have forked out time to watch in the theatres for the credits.

thinking about depressing issues saddens me. however i feel happy immediately after. because of such a rare meet up and i was touched by all your words and actions. because those are really, rare. :) thank God we're still keeping in touch.

star graze and sea breeze

2008-09-24T00:53:00.002+08:00

Raymond <3

pasir ris park. he was supposed to go at 9pm but it dragged on for another hour. he wanted to go. i wanted to go with him. makes me miss secondary 4 times more though.

some people, love them too much to hate them.

my boss.

2008-09-23T02:31:00.002+08:00

he is very overly flexible, funny in a sense, and full of philosophy. things that you would have never thought, yet so true.

actually i know la. but coming out from his mouth, the way it came, was really laughable.

people who are frugal will never be rich.
they only spend $5 a day so no need to be rich.
people who know how to spend, (enjoy at the same time)
are the ones who will be rich to finance their spendings.

alamak sounds like business finance.

i was working alone (not today) then the 3 of them were talking in a room, so loud i could hear and then laugh to myself. haha funny but definitely enjoyable environment. compared to a strict and no-slack environment, this no-rules place makes it more conducive to work in, at our own pace...

Han Jia Xin, i've been searching hi and low for you for 3 days. why do you sleep when you reach home. why do you not go home when i called. why did no one answered when you were home! and why did you not hear the thousand knocks and noises and the dreadful trains passing by. ...

no more ice-cream!

2008-09-22T01:36:00.002+08:00

i can't believe there are SO many food products from China and the most unbelievable thing is that, the poison in these products were there since 2005.

meiji, dutch lady, walls, magnum etc. most disappointing thing was, i still have an unfinished box of mini poopers. the mini cornetto, i'm left with one box plus. i have no idea how much of those stuffs i've been gobbling up since that year.

some things are so unexpected. i loved meiji. and walls. :/

mummy, it's over!

2008-09-18T18:46:00.002+08:00

well except for the fact that, mummy doesn't know hah.

YES no more studying till further notice. business finance was so difficult i really worry for the rest who might have to retake this module. on the other hand, i'm quite glad that i took the supplementary paper instead. the revision went through all the important topics that came out in section B! which is, 80marks? i didn't really concentrate on those topics though i don't know why. guess i should have trusted him more hah.

so in a sense, taking supp there's a higher chance of getting a better grade. since we all know what topics are coming out and, more than enough time to study. urgh, should have made use of that.

the opportunity cost of this paper is - 1mc with medicine ($7+) and 2 working days ($100). sad waste of money.

:) birthday surprises!

2008-09-15T18:00:00.004+08:00

It all started with yesterday. Dhatch accompanied me to Soka association to watch the performance of ZX and JK. Then we went back to Vivo City and I bought moonkcakes with doubleeggyolks. My favourite. Actually we wanted a movie so we asked for the catalogue from ben, who happened to be working. But we haven't gotten our pay so, next time. Same for the DHL Balloon ride ya.

I have been thinking of the surprises for months! Then at 11pm I smsed gem. She called back and we arranged to meet at wen's place immediately. It was almost midnight, 2345 when she reached so I ran over and appear at her doorstep. A while later, 3 minutues to midnight, we rushed over to meibin's place. Seeing so many pair of slippers outside, and the TV was loud, I knocked on the door and saw her shocked face. Then the 4 of us were discussing where to go then her sis and bf sent us to geylang.

wen was playing cabal as expected. however, meibin was dressed and going to orchard if we had went later! we were just in time so the surprises weren't spoilt. credits to me. :D

anyway, we went to this 126 place at geylang lorong 7. my first time eating in geylang man.
蟹肉粥，2x炸鱼柳，小笼包，虾饺，叉烧猪肠粉，蘑菇猪肠粉. barley, wintermelon, honeylemon, chrysanthemumtea.
so it's like, 1/4 of porridge, 2/3 of others. and you know, that porridge only enough for 2 people. i thought there was second ordering but nooooooooo. they were all full coz the drinks were in a container instead of the usual cups. nvm, next year.

what's a birthday without a cake? at such a place, we wanted to go McCafé but geylang has more and BETTER food, we bought some yellow cake and lighted candles. after buying for over a year, the candles finally has some use hoho. we lighted for a minute before going in and sang the birthday song. no matter how soft everyone can hear la. the place wasn't occupied much and it was quiet, if not for us. so they were blowing over and over again, finally the candles really went off and no more sparkles. to be safe we washed them before they kept it as momento. :)

we could have played mahjong, or night cycling. things we all want to do. though one has to rush to orchard, the other going genting to find her date, we made a promise to go ktv next week. after that, we can mahjong and night cycle. (:
most memorable surprise i've ever made, to my best friends since primary school. some feelings never will change.
coz we all live so incredibly near, everything's possible.

oh btw, the starbitez fun meal just came. long time no eat pizzahut. heh. thanks mum! my first time trying the bitez. :D

2008-09-13T04:07:00.002+08:00

i finally start working! woot.
i can't believe it myself too.
if you knew how much i played~
time to get money rolling in.
since i had 'advanced' my cheque, i need to earn some bucks for spare use!
like, like, birthday presents? which i hadn't get anyone for -haha- uncountable.
my mum said 'OK' to pizza hut home delivery yay! it's been long since i can't wait!
i loveeeee her coz she's trying not to get pissed off with me haha. in turn, i'm already trying hard to keep mum when i'm unhappy yea. unless, exceptions? nvm, at least she's much more understanding now heh.

i love Wall-E!
when i heard the olympics on tv just now, i was constantly reminded of the soundtrack in wall-e man. that show was a CLASSIC. -loves-

i totally enjoyed work just now. it was 7pm-10pm hahahahaha i bet it's everyone's favourite timing! most importantly, the pay. well, i was overly-excited i could return to work it slipped off my mind. see how it goes. anyway, it's probably 1000/2 because of the halved work time. oh no! i need a back up plan! but NO way to ducktours. DHATCH?! let's just go sit the DHL Balloon before it disappears. :) i give up on ducks whoohoo.

relaxed

2008-09-09T17:40:00.002+08:00

I went over to Suntec for the so-called interview for counter position. The person in-charge wasn't there but Sam explained to me the details. It turns out that there's only a fixed shift 9am to 7pm. No way I'm spending the whole of my holiday with this kind of no-life timing and only $6 an hour. I seriously wonder why they are so many applicants applying for DUCKtours.

Anyway, I was pretty relaxed. I went shopping after a long time. Adidas, Royal Sporting House, Lacoste, G2000, Gold Heart, Citigems, Levi's.

I need a pair of sneakers coz my Nike sports shoes is falling apart. I walked around RSH trying to find one. Instead, I found one sports shirt to my liking. After trying and much thinking, I bought a black Puma sports shirt for $33. Then I entered Lacoste. Even though Crocodile did not exactly copied Lacoste, personally I think Lacoste is more original. I spotted this $129 green polo shirt. And also (I can't remember) a perhaps $69 red polo shirt. It's too expensive for a shirt so I'll wait till the season comes. I've been eyeing on the formal blouse in G2000. I tried it, thought for very long, finally bought it. $69 purple with grey stripes long sleeve formal blouse hah. Still hunting for a pendant, I entered Gold heart. Found one quite simple and elegant $298 but I didn't buy. There's something missing from it. Few steps out, there stood Citigems so I looked around, and found one to my liking. I thought for really long. Roy was very sincere and approachable unlike Vincent, who was trying hard to get me to buy instead of serving me. Well, Roy cleaned my pendant and explained a lot to me. The one which caught my eye had multiple gemstones and with his 10% + original 30% discount it became $231. I liked it so I set up my mind to buy it. I was only looking around but that, was really colourful and special. I didn't had enough so I had it reserved for $50. Next I quickly went over to Levi's and tried some boot cut blue jeans. Surprisingly one fitted but there was no time more importantly no money to get it. But I shall return to get the pendant and the jeans hah.

To whoever who doesn't like Wall-E. Please, keep your opinions to yourself. It was so nice and what? Now you truly understand silence is gold? Nooo. There was no silence please. The movie was not for environmentalist too. It's partly describing what the Earth would be like in 1000 years' time and the other, everyone has love to give away whooppie! Moral of the story: if you sit in front of the computer all day long and too lazy to exercise nor work nor doing something productive, you'll become fat and can't move. You'll just roll. The animations were wonderful. :) Love it.

i hated Olympics

2008-09-04T03:46:00.005+08:00

Lol I'm very excited right now because I saw someone familiar in Xiao Ai's blog. Last place to find this guy Gabriel Chan who is so familiar I searched him up on facebook. Indeed, he was already Ashley and Zen's mutual friend. At a community where we called it "Ninja-do". Wow, it sounds so distant to me now, whenever I think about it, think about Jie Kai.

2008 Comex IT Show was over. So was the hectic 4 days, almost unbearable but really enjoyable. It was the first time working alongside so many friends and having fun. Jonathan, Gabriel, Mary-Anne, Yu Xiang, Chang Song, Bryan, Weijie. I seem to have left out some guy, but nevermind. Well it was really funny, snatching business or helping each other out but they thought you are trying to ks. I worked closely with some of them, not excluding Wei Dong and Jia Jiun. Friend of friend's friend well, Wei Dong being 190cm tall, attracted a lot of customers probably because he was very noticeable and good-looking. What the hardest part was, I was sick.

On the last day of my paper, my headache won't go away and my forehead began to heat up. I took cab to school, to check if I could take the paper halfway then decide to just see a doctor and re-take the supp. It would be very troublesome to whoever's in-charge so I decided to be nice and off to see a doctor. I was assigned to room 3 at Tampines Polyclinic and this one lady took over half an hour. Seeing the next door's patients going in and out so many several times, it was really getting on my nerves. Anyway, I went back school for the MC, and took the Business Finance paper from Dhatchayani. I thank my friends for their utmost concern. Really appreciate all that. :)

Well, I lost my voice. If it wasn't for the job I wouldn't waste money on the medicine. It was really miserable for me. Having no voice I lost my ability to convince. So basically I didn't manage to sell a lot of the Mac and ipods but so did many others. There were too many salespersons la. Best seller must be Wei Dong, that's all I can say. I heard him convincing others, he was good with all the knowledge. Unlike us, we were really clueless till after we tried to promote. Actually I thought I could click with Jia Jiun 'cause the feeling he gave is really alike to that of Donald's. Well, I had no voice to chat. I wanted to earn more money. Overall working experience was good. The only sad thing was, no dinner at all for all those nights. I used to go to NYNY with Jordan every night after it ends but well, at least I didn't spend. I realised I've lost weight probably because of the greatly reduced intake. Light breakfast, late lunch, no dinner. Stand and work all day long 11am-10pm I'm pretty sure it'll be the same for you.

I'm waiting for results and the exact date for my graded supp paper. Never thought I would get this, chance. I'm gonna work with Yin How and try the Belgian Chocolate waffle at Golden Mile Complex hawker centre and see if it was the same as the one at Tampines. Friday, I shall eat my heart out. Seriously I don't believe in dieting, it's such a waste to say 'no' to the food.

I want to swim. I want to try the Chocolate buffet at Fullerton hotel. After I've earned some cold hard cash I guess. Somehow I feel I'm not earning enough. There's so much to spend on.
Who wants to swim with me, JX?
Anyone fancy a Chocolate buffet? :) FEEL FREE TO ASK ME I VERY FREE. the most take leave.

10 things i hate Olympics for
no pushing daisies
messy programmes schedule
no taekwondo on ch5/U at night
no warnings about not showing the tv programmes
complicate matters led us to thinking our shows are not aired but they were
looooooong celebration to the ending was really time wasting
even lesser choice of tv programmes
irritating commercials keep repeating like the event schedule
and how Singapore won a Gold medal after 60years
MOST IMPORTANTLY: the commendators were irritating repeating what we already HEARD/SAW/KNOW. stupid. they were totally redundant i have no idea why Singapore channel U need them.

chocolate indulgences

"Chantico hits Starbucks on Jan. 8. It will be sold in the USA and Canada but could expand worldwide"

I was searching for my favourite Starbucks drink and I came upon this article.

Basically to sum it up...
"It's very rich, decadent and a real treat. If you like dark chocolate, you will appreciate this thick drink. It's not for for people who don't appreciate chocolate."

The power of words, I can really imagine and taste the drink! I so want to try but sadly unless I fly to USA or Canada for it. Well, maybe 10 years later.

I guess I miss Starbucks. I should sit down and have a cup of Java Chip Frappacino some time soon. As for my Chocolixir, it can wait. I yearn for that Belgian Dark Chocolate ice-cream more. But it's not available in Citylink Godiva. There is this review that describes it such that heavenly is an understatement. Oh my, I would really love to try it! Perhaps the outlet at Vivo City would have?

In the sea of my memory I remember one such shop called Indulgence but I can't remember where exactly it sites. While trying to look on Google, this Ultimate Indulgence Chocolate Cake caught my attention. Man, it really does look ultimately indulgenable! I absolutely love fruits and strawberries are one of my tops. That is like my dream cake!! The other Choc-a-lot Cake isn't that fascinating but because of the chocolate bits, it's definitely worth a try. Most importantly, it's in SINGAPORE. :)

Speaking so much about chocolate drink, ice-cream and then cakes, I can't forget Awfully Chocolate. I remember having a whole cake divided by 3 as our dinner (my suggestion of course) and we tried the ice-cream! It's so special it's in a box and the spoons we used for our ice-cream were re-used for eating our dinner. Such convenience. Not to forget to credit the food, the cake was rich in chocolate but too much of it one would get sick. However the ice-cream, wow it was indeed awfully yummy chocolate ice-cream with a super strong taste of chocolate. That's the BEST chocolate ice-cream I've had so far. If only I had the chance for Belgian Dark Chocolate ice-cream.....

**NOOOOOOooooooooooo Godiva stopped importing the Belgium Ice-Cream! No wonder it always says "Not Available" hmph! Well, a staff told me Hagen Daaz's similar......

let's keep this simple. since i can't just copy and paste the template i found on blogskins, this shall be it.

business finance ended early today as it was pushed forward. thanks to TPC! so i went home straight. i did as i planned it to be. i've finally watch [A Walk To Remember] it was indeed as nice as what the others commented. although the getting together part was pretty expected, the others were not. but the illness part is so like the typical korean dramas haha.

we went to gelaré to have half-priced waffles with ice-cream and extra chocolate sauce. i was later coz i missed the 2 buses coz i forgot about the tickets and walked through the whole interchange to get it.

[Money No Enough] was pretty Singapore style since it's a Jack Neo's film. this wasn't as touching as the previous productions. well, the first one wasn't exactly produced to force out the tears. overall the concept is good la, just some parts really too dramatic. well, typical Singaporeans like it can already. i like it alright.

we were on a rescue mission! a cat was stuck?! well, you'll have to see the first scene to understand the situation.

new blog!
