Round up entry for the semester

2007-12-20T00:28:00.000+08:00

Finally, the semester has come to an end.. so many things happen that I think they really deserved an entry on them. Let me recall what had happened during the semester. First day of school, I remembered Alex trying to set expectations for the honours class that really freaks me down the spine as I was doubtful that I’m up to it. Anyway, I managed to survive during the semester.. Phew.. The class was damn big, it was mentioned that it was the largest social work honours class with 48 of us… Anyway one of the happiest things that happened to me is that I have become good friends with some of them whom I thought I would not even talked to coz they looked so “cool” for the past 3 years.
One of the first bonding activities that we have is that everybody agreed to wear the same color to school for a week, thus we have a wear white day. Wear pink day and a wear black day! Even the lecturers wore the same color, it was so cool, and I really feel so glad to be part of the honours class.

A few of us also went out to eat after class on a Friday evening. It was an odd combination of friends, but trust me the outing really went well. Hehe

N yes for the first time in NUS, we have birthday celebrations with our friends. First is the Cindy’s plan where we try to surprise her with a awfully chocolate cake in our newly renovated canteen. She was of course surprised and touched by our actions ;) Second, is the RL plan which took a toil on me. Because Cindy’s plan turn out too well, so the expectations of RL plan went up… and we have to role play a scene. I was one of the main actress in the play. I have to forced up tears to pretend that I’m really sad while we were having our research meeting and went off to meet the rest of them where the cake is. Cindy ran after me and then she called Rachel over. That’s where the surprise came. And tadah our birthday surprise for RL really went well!

Cindy's Birthday

Rach's Birthday

Amidst all the struggling with the modules especially SW4214 n SW4102. SW4214 is a module that we have no choice but to take, many felt cheated of the money. This module is disastrous as every week passed, I felt more stupid after the lecture ahha, as it is very history oriented which is what I’m really sucked at ahaha. And the assignment is horrendous! One 20 page assignment, and a 20 mins individual presentation. Tsk tsk so glad that its all over now. And for SW4102, although the lecturer is very grandfatherly and nice but there was no structure in the lectures, I cant believe we started the introductory lecture in week 6 which is supposed to be in week 1! :S

Before the mugging began, we have a destressed activity together as a class and with some of our juniors. Yes the captain’s ball match! We got second in the end! Thanks Dr Ng for donating a welfare economics book for the prize and Dr Ngiam for contributing $50 for the prizes!! It was such a conspiracy as we are the ones organizing the match and we got the prizes for ourselves ahaha.

And yes everything has come to an end. I wonder whether next semester would be as happening as this semester!

If there is one person you can’t stop thinking about, post this same exact sentence in your journal.

(:

I Am Me

2007-11-08T22:06:00.000+08:00

In all the world there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me-my body,my feelings, my mouth, my voice;
All my actions, whether they be to others or to myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can encourage me.
And hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
Later, if some parts of how I looked, sounded thought,and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.
I am me and I am okay

My first Sunday spent without dear was with my SW4103 group mates. Although there is a lot of work to be done, I think I truly enjoyed the company of everyone in the group. I’m glad that I’m in this group. We meet up at 430pm, and we head to Florence house for our meeting. Guess, what Florence bought a lot of tidbits and donuts! Coincidentally. Waiping bought donuts too! We were munching away while doing our project, all the sounds of crunchiness have indeed lighten up the atmosphere of the meeting. Don’t u all think so?

Look at the tidbits that florence have bought! We are so well taken care of! I love the trolley!

Donuts bought by Waiping!

Although the donuts are nice, but i still think that krispy kreme donuts taste nicer!!!

Anyway, Florence’s room was so nice! I like her room, there are a lot of cows in the room. And her room makes me have a new liking on cows! They are so cute! I didn’t know they are so cute! Anyway, our project meeting ended quite late at round 10+pm. I reached home at around 1145pm.
During our project meeting, we were suggesting to come to florence's place to swim and play with cosmetics, not forgetting having our steamboat party at rach's place. Yeah activities are lining up for my holidays! Am so looking forward!
Oh thanks pw for asking me to go out that day, I felt very blessed with so many of you all taking care of me while dear is not around. Somehow, I felt like a little princess. Hahah

It has been quite some time since I have blogged. And my beloved 02A10ians are complaining. So here comes my new post. Yesterday we went to have our unintentional KS aka class rep’s birthday celebration. I feel so good meeting up with my jc friends again, reminiscing about the past really made me feel really old! We were counting how many years we have known each other and to my surprise it has already been 6 years! Time really passed. I guess we are really fighting for time to really make fully use of it. Once it is passed, you can never go back. So friends let treasure every moment and chance that we can be together ok. Jasmine don’t go back to the moon hao ma? KS dun always fly us kite ok? And our piggy mak dun go MIA ok? CSY claimed that she could not contact you this time round.
It was really fun yesterday although half the time we are having fun at the expense of our class rep, anyway he should feel honored that he really lighten up my lonely Friday night because my dear is not with me. Haa Oh, those who brought cameras yesternight, csy, ks, jas, please do your work by sending the photos to us hor!
Oh for your information, my dear has gone for overseas reservist last thurs. Sob sob. He is going to be away for 3 weeks and 3 days. This is also the first time he is away without me for sooo long. I have been missing him already. Anyway I promised him that when he come back, I’m going to cook him food, so I have not been slacking when he is not around, in fact, I am learning cooking from my mum today. I’m still trying to persuade my mum to cook nasi lemak tomorrow so that I can learnt some skills again. Haha Meanwhile, I think I am studying hard… still in the midst of doing my assignments and projects. Pray hard that I can finish by tomorrow so that I can start my revision next week, got tons of readings waiting for me to read. :S
Oh and I just went to collect my masks which I have bought from a spree last week. I’m feeling so happy!!!
I think all of you can feel that this post is quite random, updates here and there abruptly, so sorry for the randomness. haahaa

Hi friends, if you think you are sucks in parking, no matter how you cautiously you aim and park, somehow or rather your car is still park slanted and feel really bad about it. Fret not, i think this will really makes you feel much much much better...

I thought that it will be alittle exagerrating for me to say that maybe the driver did not realise that she has parked properly. Thought that she was being inconsiderate for the drivers who is going to park beside her. Luckily, dear's car is small enough to park beside her and I'm "small" enough to get out of the car. haha! Anyway, lets give her the benefit of doubt. Maybe she is in a hurry. haha

TO BE CONTINUED STEAMBOAT PARTY ON 16/09/07

2007-09-22T15:15:00.000+08:00

I love eating steamboat and barbeque especially with this group of people. We are really spontantous when it comes to steamboat and barbeque. When decided to eat, we will set the place and timing, and starting buying the food and prepare on that day itself. How efficient are we! I love the part on choosing and buying food and of course savouring the food, but not so on preparing haahaa.

My favourite mushroomy!

Yummy!!

Wear black day on fri!

A few of my honours class friends had organised an outing to have dinner together after our class. At first it was just the 4 of us but some came to know about our outing and wanted to join us. We thought that it would be a bit awkward since some of them were not very close to them, but it turned out to be good! We were glad that there was interaction among all of us, all the laughter and giggles made my day after a long and tiring lectures on friday!

some photos taken before the food arrived...

Here comes our food..

I don't understand why do I have such a pessimistic thinking that "I can never make it", "people are always better than me"... how come this person can do this why i cant... I know that I shouldnt compare... but at times, my mind just cant help it especially when im at my most vulnerable state...

Im lucky that my dear is always there to support me whenever Im depressed. I feel blessed with him around such that even if the sky fall down on me i know that he will be there to protect me.

Despite being emotionally unstable some moments ago, dear manage to cheer me up with his kindness (which is unintentional). He was sitting on my bed with a blanket pulled over his head while i was packing my feelings up in preparation to study. I felt curious when he maintained that position for around 10-15 mins. So I walked towards him and i saw that he was dozing off while sitting. He told me that he does not want to lie down to sleep for he feared that he would distract me from studying. hahaa so cute! So what if he is sitting.. he is still sleeping, so it does not make any difference to me! Anyway i was amused by his actions when he refused to lie down to sleep and insist that he shall sit on the bed. ANd he started doing his self-claim meditation in a steady posture. But not long after, the steady posture seem to lose its steadiness and he began to sway back and fro. So I burst into laughter and commented: "WHat happen to your meditation?"

Don't you think that's funny, it certainly cheer me up in a boring sunday afternoon.

Happy Teachers' Day!!!

2007-08-31T23:12:00.000+08:00

In less than an hour time it will be Teachers' Day, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the teachers whom I know... Happy Teachers' Day esp to our Mak Lao Shi!!!

I still remembered I wrote a Chinese essay on one of my chinese teachers back in seconday 4. I decided to post it here to express my gratiude towards him and not forgetting those who have taught me be it academically or non academically. (pls pardon me if you think the essay is not well written :p)

Here it goes...

我的华文老师

任劳任怨，鞠躬尽瘁，是丁庆来老师献身教育事业精神的最好写照。丁庆来是我的中学华文老师。鼻梁上挂着一副近视眼镜，他那历尽岁月洗礼的头发，已寥寥无几。额头上的皱纹就如火车的轨道，又深又长。丁老师在教育事业上默默耕耘了三十余年，虽问收获，却不居功。他的贡献精神受到众学生的肯定，与世无争的他，毅力坚强，百折不挠的精神令我佩服。三十多年悠悠的日子里，丁老师培育的学生不计起数，其中青出于蓝的，更是数不清。

身为华文部主任的他，为学生举办各种民族传统节日活动，如在农历新年，中秋佳节等举办联欢会，欢庆之余，让学生从潜移默化中，全面地认识东方文化，学习语文，继承优良的传统，培养起正确的道德价值观。

除了教学，篮球是他的最爱。他对球员的关心和照顾更是无微不至。每当一位球员擦伤，扭伤，摔伤，甚至脱臼时，他总是在最短最快的时间内让孩子得到最妥善的治疗，时间精力的耗费不在话下，需要时更自掏腰包，支付中医跌打医生诊费。更严密监视球员情况，不等他康复是不准下场练球或比赛。

丁老师可说是把一身的精力都献给了教育事业，他敬业乐业，又如春蚕，蜡烛，他为了栽培下一代而不断努力，他给予每位学生光明，照亮他们的前程。引导他们迈向灿烂的未来。丁老师让我领悟道：“人生最大的成就就是从失败中站立起来”的道理。成功的过程难免会遭遇狂风暴雨的袭击，但只要凭着坚韧的毅力，不向困难低头，最终的胜利还是属于我们的。看到成就时的那一份喜悦，是非笔墨所能形容的。

尽管前路崎岖，他始终觉得：只要功夫深，铁棒磨成针，为了弘扬中学文化，栽培继承华文生力军和培养篮坛接班人，他愿意继续努力，全力以赴。

虽然我再XX中学只有短短的四年，他是给我印象最深刻的一位老师，这一段中学生活已在我的人生旅程中留下光辉灿烂的一页。

School....

2007-08-23T20:21:00.000+08:00

Oh, I didn't realise that I have not update my blog for some time. Anyway, school has already started so updates will be getting slower each time. This semester is thee busiest one in my entire university life i would say. Maybe because I'm in my honours year thus feel the pressure not to slack since you are with a bunch of elites... haha Also there is much more independent work than the previous year. During the first week of school, I kept questioning myself whether staying another year for honours is a good choice for myself after the lecturer has set expectations for us. BUt there is no way that I can back out now but to constantly psychoing myself that I can do it.. just have to work hard for less than a year and it is over. Seeing familiar faces in class is a real comfort for me as you know that there are people in class that you can turn to in times of need. You all know who you are thank you so much! :)

Lucky!!!

I went swimming with dear on Monday night. It was the best swim ever! Although it was night time, the weather was rather warm. I thought that it was ideal for swimming. Also, the water was not freakingly cold such that it would make you shiver. And the best part was, the sky was clear, meaning i could see a lot of stars. The night view was majestic, saw a lot of twinkling stars.
I was appreciating the stars with dear in the swimming pool when I saw a shooting star!!! I shouted shooting star! OMG that was the first time in my life that I saw a shooting star. And dear did not see it because he was looking at the other part of the sky. I was lucky! Immediately, I made 4 wishes. I have more wishes to make but thought 4 is already a lot, so decided to leave the rest to the next shooting star I saw. I was so happy that I kept calling dear, and when he replied I said, I saw a shooting star just now. This lasted for like the whole night and the whole of today. haha Up till now I am still very happy. heehee

Nature Vs Nurture

2007-07-22T22:20:00.000+08:00

Blurness is a trait that you can find in me. I can be that blur to mistake facial foam as toothpaste to brush my teeth for a few seconds before realising that it was facial foam and to be looking high and low for my hp when it was in my pocket etc However, I realised that my blurness was not unfound. Why?? Here the story goes...

Me: Mummy, the shower foam in the room's toilet is used up. Do you have one in the kitchen toilet?
Mummy: (walked to the kitchen's toilet to take the shower foam.)
Me: Hmmm Mummy, you sure this is shower foam, (as mum took out a dove shampoo to me.)
Mummy: Ya lah this is shower foam lar!
Me: You sure? Did you used the shampoo container to refill it with shower foam? (feeling puzzled)
Mummy: (Blank face, took back the container and brought to me another container)Nah! Shower foam lar!
Me: huh this one is also shampoo leh...
Mummy: (blur face..)
Me: Mummy you mean you have been using shampoo as shower foam to clean your body?
(the container was half empty, which means that mum had been using shampoo as shower foam for quite some time)

Seeeeee, now you know that my blurness is inherited. Haiz I can't help it lar. It's in the genes.... So friends, please pardon me for my blurness! :)

A Day to Remember for the Huangs and Lees 27-06-2007

2007-07-01T15:02:00.000+08:00

After 7 years of steady courtship, both of them officially pledged their love to one another on 27-06-2007. All their surrounding friends and family members were so delighted about their marriage. The end of courtship opened another gate to the start of marriage, which is the commitment they gave for one another. Wish them all the best in their marriage and may they stay happily ever after!!!

Winter Moonlight

The snow, so peaceful and serene,
caressed by the soft moonlight,
gave magical feelings to the night.

The soft blue glow,
the lovers' words that then did flow,
their lips closer and closer
until, locked in the throes
of a passionate embrace,
he decided to express his feelings,
to keep her safe.

He whispered softly,
his words like music to her ears,
"I Love You,"
and her response the same,
heard like the gentle breeze,
"And I, love you, forever."

That was the night they promised
to be together through everything,
each to care for the other when old and gray
A lovers' pact
the most likely to last.

Day 7 Our last day

2007-06-30T13:09:00.000+08:00

It was our last day in hk. We went to the Avenue of Stars after our breakfast. After that we shopped around the shopping centres at that area. I bought a portable umbrella that cost me S$20 since the weather looked like it was going to rain. Initially I caught an eye on another umbrella but it cost S$32, so dear was saying that it was too expensive for an umbrella, hence in the end we did not buy that. The S$20 umbrella look similar to the one I saw, so I persuaded dear to let me buy it haha.

Our breakfast

Taken at the Avenue of Stars

The place that we had our dinner on the first day....

After walking for quite some time, we were quite hungry. This was the first time we were very hungry and frantically looking for food to eat in our overseas trip. Because, being a good host, Alex would never allow our stomach to go hungry; food is constantly being fed into our mouths every now and then. But today we were on our own. We settled down at a Japanese restaurant after walking for long to look for food to eat.

Our lunch

We went shopping at a shopping mall near our hotel. Dear and I recognized that the shopping mall is the one that was shown in one of the hk drama serials broadcasted in scv. We had some desserts and then rushed back to the hotel to check out.

At the shopping mall

The escalators in the shopping mall are very long that brought you to 3-4 storeys at one go. I love the design of the shopping mall, it was much better than the ones we see at home!

Me and my papaya milkshake!

Once we reached the airport, we checked in and then roamed around till I saw the Wildfire restaurant. As I was describing to them how nice their calamari rings tasted like, all of us decided to dine in at 7.05pm when we are supposed to board the plane at 7.40pm. We ordered our food at 7.15pm. Suddenly all of us were panicked, because we were reminded that our plane was a distance away from the location we were currently at, thus we were advised to head to our gate 15 mins earlier, but here we were, sitting in the Wildfire restaurant and waiting for our calamari rings and mushrooms to arrive. We waited for 5 mins before our food arrived and we finished the calamari rings in 30 secs and the mushrooms in 1 mins plus. Once we finished our food we quickly asked for the bill and headed to our gate. It was quite exciting as we were chasing with time. And finally, we made it in time to board the plane! In a few hours time, we were be back at home again!

Day 6-Macau

2007-06-30T11:03:00.000+08:00

We had breakfast buffet again at the hotel early in the morning again. After that his shen zhen chauffeur drove us to his office and we changed to another car driven by his hk chauffeur to hk. Yes, we are leaving shen zhen.. Bye bye shen zhen… Once we reached hk, we checked into our hotel again and we headed to Macau with Wei Shan. He was our tour guide again. We took a ferry there, the ride last for an hour. Food was served for the one hour ride because we were sitting on the super class seats. I did not know how much did the ferry tickets cost as Alex said he got it free from his company. Anyway I thought the unagi rice set served was nice, but Justus said that it was awful. Haha.

Bye bye Mission hill

View taken from the ferry ride to macau

My fav unagi set!!

When we reached Macau, we went to the casino, but dear wore slippers so he was not allowed to go in. Hence being nice, I accompanied him to wander outside the casino and took some photos while waiting for the rest to come out.

Pictures taken while waiting for the rest

After which we went shopping and had some snacks. We chanced upon a stall selling milk in solid form, it was super nice!!! I really loved it a lot. We also tried a dish with rice stuffed in a chicken as recommended by Wei Shan.
The milk menu

OUr orders!

Food from the restaurant that sell the chicken stuffed rice

All the shopping in macau have made me not miss this place (as shown below)which is one of their tourist attraction.

We rushed to catch our ferry ride in the evening back to hk. On our way back food was served too, but it was not as nice as the unagi rice served in the afternoon. Our half day Macau tour was a rush one, we thought that we should have stayed there for a day or two.

Food served on our way back to hk

At night we went to temple street for shopping, along the way we saw the milk shop in hk! We were so excited that all of us went in to have another bowl of milk.. yummy!!

Day 5- shen zhen

2007-06-28T23:22:00.000+08:00

We had our breakfast buffet at the hotel. After that the chauffeur and our tour guide for the day- Wei Shan brought us to the tribal villages and cultures.

At the culture side, all of us bought calligraphy writingsThe tribal villages and cultures was more than enough to occupy our whole afternoon that we forgo the 世界之窗where we could see the 7 wonders of the world (but in smaller version as compared to the actual ones). It was really worth the time to be there as it helped to broaden one’s horizons culturally.

Some random pictures taken...

We met up with Alex for dinner at 真心屋, another Japanese restaurant recommended by him. The food is good but the sashimi was overcharge I thought. It cost us S$50 for just a few pieces. Pictures
Also I tried something new, horse sashimi, it taste heavenly nice, I like it!

Food!!!

The $50 sashimi

Day 4- Shen Zhen

2007-06-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

We woke up early in the morning again for our breakfast. I ate cha jiang mian, not very nice as compared to those from crystal jade. After which we checked out our hotel rooms and waited for the chauffeur to drive us to Shen Zhen. We stayed at Shen Zhen for 2 days. Thanks to Alex for paying for the hotel rooms again. Our trip to hk had really cost him a lot from food to lodgings etc. Thank you so much once again.

Me and my zha jiang mian

First thing on the list when we reached Shen Zhen was to visit Alex’s factory. A half day tour at his new and old factories, it was really an eye opening to see all the production lines, dear said that it was like an industrial visit for him since it was related to what he had studied. His new factory was enormously big; the circumference is not less than 2.4km!

Justus, dear and I posing at the new factory

HK gang in boots

After that we went to east gate shopping mall to shop. All the shops are pretty similar selling “branded” goods. It was known to be a shopping paradise for many, but all of us did not manage to buy anything except for Justus who bought a watch. *grinz. I attempted some bargaining, but it failed as the owner failed to reduce the price that I would be willing to buy. Haiz, moral of the story we are all bad at bargaining.

All the walking and travelling had made us tired and hungry. We had our dinner at 老二靓汤. The room he booked in the restaurant had a toilet and automatic mj table. We were so fascinated about the mj table that we sat down and played. The first play I won with 清一色, I was so happy!

Our dinner!!!

Me with my winning tiles!!

We went to check into our hotel at Mission Hill after that. The room was so huge! I screamed the moment I opened the door!

Our room!!!

Day 3- Ocean Park

2007-06-28T01:17:00.000+08:00

Today Alex is not around with us, so this is the first time we are going to eat alone with no native recommendations. Thus we head to a restaurant near our hotel for breakfast.

Our 'normal' breakfast after eating so much the day before..

After which, together with a HK map we head to take MTR. This is our first time taking their public transport after all the driving by the chauffeur for the past two days. The MTR look similar like those we had in sg, so not much a problem for us. We went to Ocean Park, really gladful that we went to Ocean Park Instead Of Disneyland since the feedbacks from friends were not that fantastic. We paid S$37 for the admission fees and we get to play all the rides inside with no extra charges, unless you want to try the skill games. We brought along our ocean park coupons given by our travel agencies so there are discounts for the bball skill games we played. We won quite a lot of soft toys, but say to say I won one soft toy only. It is quite hard to master the kinda strength and technique you need to have to shoot; it is completely different from shooting in a real bball court. Okay fine im giving excuses for myself :p

We are lost in Hong Kong

The first ride that we took was the spaceship ride (pictures) It makes all of us giddy for quite a long period of time that most of us skipped most of the rides. Justus is the most spontaneous person among the 5 of us.

The spaceship that made all of us giddy

The second ride that we took was the roller coaster, its appearance does not look intimidating but the ride was exciting and made me yelled at the top of my voice whenever it plummeted.

After the exciting ride, I dare not take other rides anymore. Also some of us are still suffering from the giddiness due to the spaceship ride so we did not take rides that would exacerbate our conditions. Justus was the only one that challenged the longest roller coaster in hk and the turbo drop. Impressive! We all applauded, his courage is laudable!

The ferris wheel, longest roller coaster and turbo drop

Our brave Justus on the turbo drop

We also sat on the ferris wheel and the viewing tower (the one at sentosa look alike). Rmb the DHL hot air balloon that you see in sg, they have a few similar ones there with various sizes and guess what you do not have to pay extra money to sit those balloons. It is included in the admission charges. We had played from 12 noon till the park is closed (6pm) but we had yet to complete all the games and rides. It took more than a day to walk and play at Ocean Park and $37 is really worth the money!

After the ocean park had closed, we went back to our hotel, along the way we were thinking of what to eat for dinner when we saw a stall inside the MTR station selling these rice balls..
I thought that the rice balls look new to us and we decided to give it a try! The taste was not that bad except that the purple rice was a bit hard on the teeth.

Rice balls!!!

Day 2- Tai Yu Shan

2007-06-28T00:51:00.000+08:00

The first day was a hectic one for us. The thought that we toured half of hk set me to wonder how adventurous the rest of the days in hk would be like. We woke up at 8am after the long night yesterday. Justus gave us morning call, he was the only person that was able to wake up on time after the tiring yesterday night. Alex was here in the morning to pick us up for breakfast. We went to a yum cha restaurant. You couldn’t imagine how much we had eaten for our breakfast after the round of lunch buffet and dinner last night, the 7 of us ate sooo much… again the pictures speak for themselves…

More to come...

The heaviest breakfast I ever eaten..

The famous 流沙包

After our breakfast, we went to see the Big Buddha at Tai Yu Shan, it was raining heavily on our way there, we took the cable car ride to the Big Buddha, and the ride is about 40mins, definitely worth the price for the scenery. We paid for about S$29 for a two way cable car ride. We watched two shows at the theatres, the shows are not that fantastic, in fact it was kidish. I was rather disappointed because I could not see the majestic view of the Buddha like what Nuan had seen earlier. But still, it is worth the trip there. Dear and I spent lots of money at the souvenir shops there buying gifts for our parents.

View from the cable car

Finally we saw the Buddha

Due to the stormy weather, the cable car ride was stopped for security reasons. There was a huge crowd waiting to be mobilized for transportation back by buses. Dear made friend with a kid while waiting, the kid seems to like dear a lot..

We are said to be very lucky because the next day after we had went to see the Big Buddha, one of the cable car dropped from 50+m high to the ground and till now it was still under maintenance. If we had visited the Big Buddha later, we might not be able to take the cable car and saw the nice scenery.

All of us

We returned to our hotel after that to wash up and met up with Alex and Wei Shan again for dinner. All of us were stunned when we heard that we were having buffet for dinner. The sashimi and sushi there were very delicious, ate quite abit. :p (pictures)

Oh ya, dear was having cough so we went to buy sea coconut syrup at 7-11. It is so expensive almost S$6 when you could get one bottle at $3+ in S’pore.

We went to ladies street after our dinner. I bought 2 bags thinking that they cost 20+ sing bucks when they are actually 30+ sing bucks due to my miscalculations. Heart ache.... Haiz.. I was feeling very down after that because those 2 bags cost me over 70 sing bucks. Nevertheless, this taught me to be more cautious in converting the currency subsequently.

Hmm this is cheaper than those in sg.. can buy..

Along the way we saw krispy creme, a stall famous for their doughnuts, truly live up to their name! It is delicious!

Finally, the long awaited entry on my overseas trip is here! Tadah!!!!!

Day 1
It was such an exciting trip, all of us met up at 1am to have supper and headed to the airport when the check in time was 4.30am. (Thanks to JW & YC for driving us to the airport!) We played poker cards at the airport while waiting for time to pass. As this is my first time going overseas, my parents, godma and dear’s mum gave me ang baos as a form of wishing me smooth journey. I was shocked and elated!
It seems like Chinese New Year to me to have extra pocket money hehe.

waiting for time to pass.... tick, tock, tick, tock,

My friends were very nice to offer me the window seat. First time on the plane and I got to sit beside the window, I’m pampered! :)

I love the clouds!!!!!!

My excitement was overwhelmed by fatigue due to lack of sleep and gastric pains. Dear helped me ask for milk on the plane and showered me with care and concern that really helped to minimize the pain I had suffered. We had hor fun and omelette for breakfast on the plane. I preferred the hor fun to omelette.

Breakfast type A

Breakfast type B

After a 3.5 hours ride, we finally reached our destination- HONG KONG! Adrenaline rush and excitement rose once again when I saw HK island from the plane ahhahaha. Also we were able to see the cable ride to big Buddha which we would be going the next day.

At hk airport...

The moment we reach hk airport, dear’s buddy, Alex was there to welcome us! After we had gotten our luggages, Alex’s chauffeur drove us to our hotel to check in, after which we headed to 沙田马场for lunch buffet. The place was very classy, in order for us to go in we must be dressed formally. The room that we had our buffet was located such that horses would raced pass your sight. This was the first time in my life seeing horses racing right in front of me. Though I always see it on TV, the experience of seeing it live was different, the atmosphere was heightened when we placed bets on the horses. The group that Dear and I bet won. ( pictures) I guessed that was the lowest winnings ever because we won S$1.80 hhahaa

On our way to jockey club

The place we had our lunch buffet

Horses on their way to the racing ground

4 secondary school buddies

Since Alex’s house was near the jockey club, we went to his house for a while after we left the jockey club. His house is huge, luxurious and classy!

We had our dinner at huo xian du 火闲土, a Japanese restaurant. The food there was not bad, we had sashimi, cold noodles etc, the photos speak for themselves.

Alex treated us for the buffet and our dinner. Thanks to him, if not I shudder to think how much we ha spent for the first day!

After our dinner we went to the Victoria Peak together with Alex and his friend Wei Shan, it was a pity that the weather was too cloudy to see the scenic view. Also we went to the wax museum. I was feeling most accomplished when I managed to take a picture with.......

deng deng deng deng!!!!!

Best picture taken outta the bad weather

We went to lan kwoi fang and had a drink at an underground pub chosen by Justus. I saw 2 hk actors along the way but I did not know their names haha I was just able to recognize their faces.

The first day was a happening one because in just a short period we visited so many places as mentioned above.
Alex was saying that we have toured half of hk in just a day’s time! I can't believe it.. So what are we going to do for the next few days???

All the walking had made us tired, that’s all for the day! Good Night!

2007-06-09T04:58:00.000+08:00

Yeah in an hour time i will be boarding the plane to leave for HK, bye bye friends, take care cya when i come back! Enjoy your holidays! Im so excited! CSY, it yr turn tmr! Enjoy! hiak hiak! Cindee you too! haha bye bye

The day has come.... They very day that I have been waiting for since I am sensible... The very day that I will leave my feet off the earth... Yes I'm flying.. Its not a faraway dream anymore.. I flying in a few days time, the buying of necessities to prepare for the trip has made me excited. The packing of luggage to head off left adrenaline rush into my veins... I'm so so so so excited. I cant wait for Sat to come. :) Friends please do not try to contact me from sat till next sat, coz i will be out of town... Hiak Hiak Hiak. Looking forward! And for those who are leaving too like cerrin, csy, cindee and zl, hope u all enjoy yr trip too! (",)

2007-06-03T12:42:00.000+08:00

OMG, all my friends who went to MAyDay's concert yesterday had updated their blogs with their adrenaline rush and highness. For further description of how high Mayday had led us to please visit http://shortmeh.blogspot.com and http://psychofox.blogspot.com. Im having mayday hangover now, I'm sure all of you are! First thing I woke up in the morning is to blast myself with mayday songs and jump like mad, even my sister is saying that I am crazy! I totally agree with CSY that the next time round they come i would be more than willing to buy the most expensive ticket!!!! The concert has showed me that the decor of the stage doesnt mean anything, it is the voice that matters and the people who lead the crowd! But i love the dolphins decor too! I think I'm getting crazy!

Oh yeah forget to mention that after watching the concert, I went back to check my email, i have successfully manually withdraw my graduation!!! CINDEE I'M SEEING YOU FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!! hahah MAYDAY HAS BROUGHT ME LUCK!

JUMP 离开地球表面

2007-06-03T01:51:00.000+08:00

Yeah! I just came back from Mayday's Concert! I'm so super high! The concert is great, fantastic, marvellous, excellent, superb!!!! Although I thought the starting was a bit bored with the showing of video clips, but the series of nice songs coming up after that have overshadow the initial phase! AWWWWW very nice!!! Almost everyone are standing right through the concert even though seats are provided, cause we are all too high! Jumping and stomping our feet to express our enthusaism. I wanna go to their concert again!!! Of course, you need to have the right company to go with you, those that are spontaneous, go high with you like nobody else's business, throw away image, etiquette etc! What's there to maintain when you are in front of a boy band that is so gooood! I think Ah Xin sing better in live than CD, or it is the sound system that is good? Before the concert, we even went ktving, and we sing lotsa their songs. All of us are super high la... Ok this entry is all about the highness that we have experienced from the concert! I love this concert, it lasted for more than 3 hours and i think it is worth the price. (",)

2007-05-30T10:05:00.000+08:00

It has been quite some time since I blogged. I have been working conscientiously to earn more pocket money for myself because I have a number of items to buy and they aint cheap. :p And also to earn more money for my HK trip, I'm counting down, of course not forgetting Mayday's Concert! Haha Life going to be enriching and fun! On the high note, I have been working at the food expo to promote membership card for cc. It was quite a good experience as I have not been a promoter before, and for beginner, I think I faired pretty well. haha Also, I came to know of some of the colleagues from other cc, they are so nice and fun. Love working with them at the roadshow although it is tiring to shout (since it is so noisy) and stand the whole day. Anyway, everything has come to an end, I'm back at the office doing sedentary work now. All the managers are not around! Yeah! Waiting to visit our Beloved Piggy Mak in the evening later...

On the low note, I didnt fair very well for the exams, only one A and the rest of the grades cannot make it. In other words, my grades slide a little again. I was so disapointed lor, still contemplating whether I should go for honours. (I feel that I am too stupid to cont..) But after seeking advice from our Piggy Mak and my dear keep persuading me to continue, I have decided to stay on for honours. So i went back to school to withdraw my graduation before i go to work on Monday, I thought like once you opt for withdraw, you surely can stay on for honours, but the receptionist say they will check whether your grades are eligible for honours ( mine is) and also it is not definite.. Still need to wait for approval. I was so shocked to hear this. I have just decided to go for honours after so long of struggling and this is happening.. GuGu is the word to use.. It is so gugu! Now i have to wait for them to send me the email on the approval.. Haiz...

2007-05-10T02:21:00.000+08:00

傻傻的勇气

最猛的是我又傻傻的勇气
如果没有奇迹我创造一个给你
好的坏的都是我的要撑到底
你让我相信我可以

梦想紧紧握在手中
人就能自信满满的向前走
希望收藏在胸口
心就学会要说 NO 拒绝脆弱

因为你在我的左右
因为心中有彩虹
（你就是最亮的那颗星星深深吸引我全部的注意力 Oh
我确定你是我的唯一 Oh Baby you are my only love)

伤痛让我开始不同
我哭过更加成熟决心已启动
希望收藏在胸口
心就学会要说 NO 拒绝脆弱

曾经受伤的我以为世界只剩寂寞
是你找回我笑容你的温柔陪我坚持到最后

Holidays is what I'm looking forward during school term.. But sad to say when holidays come, I'm so not looking forward for school term. It is not a bidirectional relationship. Heez. Holidays is the time where I will try my best to earn as much money as I can, and to watch as many tv programs as I can to compensate or should I say "catch up" on what dramas I have missed. :) And of course I start with watching hanakimi... It was so fantastic! I watched it at one go! and Wu Zhun is so shuai!!! I'm crazy over him now. The moment I go to sleep his face appears in my mind. The moment I wake up, his face appears in my mind again. This explains how I can watch hanakimi thrice within a week! OMG! I'm gg to watch it later again! heehee Besides watching hanakimi, dear and I went for our bball subclub chalet on friday. It is nice to see all the familiar faces once again. Many of them are graduating this sem so most of the time we are talking about career prospects. Also we talked about marriage since some of them have applied flats already and soon I will receive a red card from each of them. Time passed so fast, we are already in the age of 谈婚论嫁. This means that age is catching up! Haiz... I wanna remain young! although I know that I'm young at heart. hehe. I shall post some of the pictures of the chalet later when my friend send it to me. :) Take care everybody. For those who have finished their exams, enjoy yr hols, and for those who have not, study hard, last lap to go! Jia you!!!

Boy and Girl (idea orginated from Jasmine) a long outdated entry :P

2007-04-29T02:13:00.000+08:00

April 15th is the day that dear and I have gotten together.. Time passed so fast, it has already been two years and we are still standing strong. Thanks Dear for his patience towards me. Thanks Dear for his always showering me with love and concern. Thanks dear for being my 24/7 driver. Thanks dear for being there for me. Thanks Dear for the everything you gave me. The list goes on....

After some inspiration from jasmine and csy.. I have decided to jam down the story of a girl and boy who meet each other in NUS 3 years ago...
One fine day during a dinner after our basketball session,
Boy: what's yr name?
Gal: Yanling, U?
Boy: 我叫俊杰
Deep inside, the gal was thinking what a common name he had, when in actual fact her name is neither uncommon too...

Two weeks later...
Boy: hey yanling, and they started to have a conversation....
but the gal forget his name.
Gal: sorry i forget what is your name.
Boy:我叫俊杰
Gal: Oh ya! I rmb!

From that time onwards, they became closer and soon they were in a father-daughter relationship...

Boy's concern and tenderness for girls have attracted girl towards him. Soon girl fell in love with him unconsciously...
Girl began to miss boy when he was not around.
Girl felt elated when boy sms him.
Girl felt curious about what boy is doing when he is not around. All her mind revolve around the boy and nothing else.

Girl felt awkward about her mental state. Girl questioned herself umpteen times before girl was confirmed that the boy has stolen her heart. But girl is in doubt about whether her feelings for boy would last long. Girl had several short relationships in the past that ended due to the love for the them have subsided.

But to boy.. girl felt that her feelings for him grew stronger everyday...
However girl knew that boy still could not get over another gal whom he had admired for 5 years. Deep inside her heart girl is deeply hurt. Nonetheless, girl keep comforting boy, and asked him to woo the gal even though she is attached. But boy just want the gal to be happy... And girl was even more hurt...

Although boy and gal are not together, they hold hands when they are walking, and when boy is driving, meet to go to school everyday and Girl sleep on boy's shoulder while on the way to school. Girl felt comfortable to maintain the relationship this way, as she could see boy everyday.

Many things happened for Boy to know that Girl likes him. Boy began to think of Girl more often than usual and things start going smoothly for the both of them and on 15th April 2005, Boy and Girl finally confessed their feelings for each other, and they were together since then. Things are going smooth for them.

Till now, boy and girl are still in love with each other intensely. They know that their love for each other will not reduce but grow stronger everyday. Boy thanked god that he had found girl. Girl thanked god for putting boy in her life.

Based on the drawing and the 10 answers they gave this is a summary of their personality:
You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. son.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

We went to eat at BaB noodle (sort of like fusion food) at millenia walk. The food was average only. The spicy soft shell crab i ordered taste was average. The spicy sauce is not spicy..

Friendly bus captain

2007-04-06T14:22:00.000+08:00

Based on my experiences, I feel that it is very rare to see bus captains that are friendly and polite. Most of the bus captains I see before either give you a black face or a stoning face after drving for so long with passengers boarding and alighting the bus. But yesterday, I encountered a bus captain who is very friendly and polite. When I first board the bus, he greeted me "Good Morning" with a gracious smile and bowed with his head. I was so surprised and I returned a smile to him. Subsequently , I saw that he did that to all the passengers that have board the bus. Also, upon seeing a lady struggling to get hold of her kid, he waited for them to settle down before moving the bus. So considerate rite? And when I was about to alight the bus, he waved good bye to me from the backview mirror! Oh this is the ultimate lar, I have never seen this before. Pardon me for being gugu or anything you all wanna call me. But i thought he was really being polite and he really brighten up my day manz. And this happened to remind me of what my OM has told me his principles in life, to live, to love and to contribute. This bus captain is definitely demostrating to me in whatever things you do there is certainly a way that you can contribute to the society to make it a better place to live in!

Deviance

2007-04-03T18:03:00.000+08:00

Today is the last lecture of my deviance module. It is a real enlightenment after attending this lecture. After all, I have been constantly bombarded with theories every week relating to deviance so much so that I’m not sure which theory leads to the development of the next theory… What is deviance and crime to you my fellow pals? After going through this module you will have a totally different perspective of crime and deviance. One cannot study crime and deviance without studying structural realities. Why is homosexual considered a deviant act? It is often taken for granted in people, for the sociologists they move away from the takens for granted and have an inquisitive mind over these phenomenons. Of all the theories that are presented to me, I favors David Matza’s concept on delinquency drift the most. Criminals are not always criminals. Even the hardest criminals will not totally abandoned mainstream values. In fact, they are oscillating between these two value systems- mainstream values and subculture values. Take CSY’s case as an example, the person that performed the “gross act” maybe considered a deviant to us. But he also subscribe to conventional values like having a job, attend education before etc. In a way he is not deviant all the time. So what makes a criminal a criminal? Also a question for you guys to think about, what make law abiding a difficult task to attain than breaking laws???

It is playing time!!!

2007-03-24T23:53:00.000+08:00

It has been quite some time since I talked our my beloved sons- cutie and fatie.. They are doing very fine. EVeryday sleep and sleep and sleep. I love their lives. Today they have a wonderful time playing with each other. They are so adorable. My sister said that I am insane as I scolded her for accidentally pushing them. And i quickly used my hands to protect them when my dad almost kicked them. My dad gave me a puzzled face and then shook his head. haahaa I think all my family members think that I am crazy! haha ok nvm this a picture of them playing!

2007-03-23T19:37:00.000+08:00

Finally I have submitted my pair written report on Soci of Deviance. It is an interesting module. For those who want to take soci modules to clear unelective, this is a module that you guys must take. Trust me! You will definitely enjoy it. Despite all over dosage of assignments and projects, I find that I am beginning to love to work in groups. In the past, I would always prefer individual work rather than group work as I thought it is a chore to work in groups. Project meetings, writing of minutes and coordination of meetings etc are enough to add on the burden of doing project together. Unlike project assignments, with individual assignments, I can do it own time. Nevertheless I have good experiences in project meetings before especially working with people that I am familiar and comfortable with.
I have only one individual assignment this semester, the rest of my assignments are project based. Despite all the hectic scheduling of meetings rushing through the deadlines, I feel very happy working with them. There is strong sense of urgency but no tinge of frustration. This maybe because I am working with people whom I have build rapport and trust with already. I really like working in this kind of environment where you really see the group working hard together. There is no free riders around that shun their responsibilities by giving "stupid" excuses. This sense of happiness makes me even wanna go into honours year more since these friends that I am referring to, majority are staying for honours. I wanna continue to experience this happiness!
Fellow friends, so do you prefer individual or project based assignments?

2007-03-22T00:42:00.000+08:00

For the benefit of csy, I sort of put a picture of what shisha looks like.
this is what I found out when I google shisha. I found a picture which is quite disgusting...

Shisha tobacco, as shown here, often has a damp and sticky appearance derived from the honey or other sweeteners added.

So dear friends, dun shisha k, cos I dun wanna lose you! :)

To sidetrack, I received my medal for inter faculty bball this evening. Though I didnt play in the matches, it is the moral support that counts!

Tadah!

We got FIRST!

2007-03-21T08:42:00.000+08:00

This week is a busy week for me. A lot of deadlines nearing and so I'm jamming my xiao hei real hard. SOrry darling please bear with me for a few more weeks. I started off my week by having a "sweet"/weird/funny dream. Clara if you see this, you sure be laughing away. :p Guess what I dreamt of "our beloved 02A10's" geography teacher KT. Haahaa I was so shocked when I woke up from my dream, (though I was smiling away. :p) Anyway I shall not tell you about the details of the dream. (SHhh Mak Lao Shi don't tell them.. :p)

Today was a forgetful day for me. I started off my lovely morning with Dear coming to pick me up from school. But i realized that I have forgotten to bring my lip gloss out (as my lips are super dry). In order not for Dear to wait for me to long at the carpark, I sacrificed to walk back to my house to take the lip gloss. But he was late! I should have gone back. :p And then We were planning to have our breakfast at cheese prata shop at fong seng, but it was closed. Weird! So i went to the library with a empty stomach. *stomach drumming* WHen I reached the library, I realized that I have left my handphone in my Dear's car! Oh shit how? No handphone how to contact my friends. As i was walking to the free phone calling corner, I saw one familiar man running towards me. Yes, My dear brought my handphone to me! hee thanks dear. So after that here I am using the library com to blog and print stuffs. After sending all my documents to the printer, I realized that my wallet is not in my bag. Oh shit! I forgot to bring my wallet out! so no cashcard, for those who are reading this entry now (almost 9am), please come and rescue your friend here (lend me cashcard)!
Hope I will end my day for the better. I dun wanna forget anything, let ends this here. Preparing to fight the battle for today! Bashysa!

Happy Birthday to Dear!!!

2007-03-18T16:54:00.000+08:00

Today is my dear 26th Birthday! OMG he is soo old.. Haahaa. I gave him a surprise yesterday night. I'm so impressed with myself. It is an impromtu idea! I just heard that he will be coming my house to stay over since his parents drove both cars out. And his school bag is at my place. He needed it to do his FYP, so after supper he ask his friend to drive him to my place. So i was contemplating whether how to give him a surprise. It was difficult since I have little resources. I did not buy him a present. So no present surprise and neither do I have the time to make him a card so i browse throught my drawers and found one card. I wrote something on it. But it wasnt enought to give him a big surprise on his birthday. SO i was thinkging to head down to seven elven to get him a slice of cake, but it was quite late and I dare not go out alone. Then, my sister say there is a pound cake in the fridge. ZaPP! So i cut a slice from the cake. But I thought it was too plain.. ANd I found mango, longans and jelly in the fridge again! Haa haa so i used that to decorate the plain piece of cake. Haahaa And I was thinkging it would be perfect if there are birthday candles to romanticize the atmoshphere. To my amazement!!! I found birthday candles too! OMG, suddenly I feel that my house is like a treasure hunt! Everything is ready, waiting for the VIP to come!

Birthday cake in the making!

Birthday cake from plan view

When dear arrived, i act as per normal. Once he head straight to the room, i went to the kictchen to bring out the cake and light up the candle. I was so nervous and panicked for fear that dear might just walked out of the room and saw the surprise. Luckily he didnt. I walked to the room with the lighted birthday cake, off the light and sang him a birthday song. He was soooo touched, i can really see it from this expression. Im so proud of myself. haahaa After which I gave him the birthday card he was even more touched. (2 hit combo!) :p

Despite all these, I managed to make myself happy by buying a clutch bag on monday which is so beautiful.. if not i wont buy rite? ;p and a red color top today. I was choosing between red and blue and I got red instead as blue look a bit mature heez. Happy grinz

Can you spot which is the swollen leg?

2007-03-10T16:17:00.000+08:00

Purpose of life

2007-03-08T13:55:00.000+08:00

I went to interview my secondary school Operating Manager just now for our school bully project. Apart from talking stuffs about my project, we also talk about the purpose of life and the kinda value system. I was inspired by him after the talk. Anyway he never fail to inspire me since secondary school. I always feel very comfortable talking to him maybe because he is a counsellor. :p He is glad that I am doing fine, and we also talked about some of our secondary school friends who are not doing as fine and all. He also told me that he is picking up some other skills like doing fashion, image consultant, etc. I always think that he is a very talented man, he do dance, sing, play guitar, do volunteer work, part time taxi driver, certified image consultant, counsellor apart from being an operating manager. I was really impressed by the things he did etc despite him being 56 years old. He told me about what has guided him to the path that he is taking- his purpose in life.. which is to live, to love and to contribute. To live, meaning eat healthy (which i think is challenging to me), exercise to keep fit. To love everybody, hating a person is tiring, and also it does more harm than good. To contribute to the society in anyway that you can, helping the people in the society. Everyone can play a part to do this. A social worker can empower the people to be more self reliant, increase their self esteem, a banker can brighten a person's day by giving a warm smile and greeting when people step into the bank, a teacher can impart all the knowledge they know to the students, and in turn help the students to improve academically... WHich ever job u think of there is always someting that you can contribute to the person and to look at the larger picture- the society.
WHile I was on my way to meet him this morning, I saw an old lady walking across the road, with a walking stick. Suddenly i pondered about what I would become when I grow old? Would I also have to rely on a walking stick to walk, or become sickly. And I feel a strong urge to make full use of the days when I am healthy to do the things I like and may not be able to do when I grew old like runnning, swimming,play basketball, etc. I hope to live life to the fullest so that I would not have any regrets by the time i grow old.

Discovery!

2007-03-05T23:50:00.000+08:00

I discovered something tonight while dear was driving me home. I keep on yawning in the car, and suddenly I talked to dear about yawing is contagious kinda thing. Suddenly, I thought of experimenting it with 小爱 since she was sitting on my lap. So i shout her name loud loud in the car to catch her attention. When she looked at me, then I yawn. After that I observed that she also "open her mouth wide wide showing her cute little teeth and tongue"= yawn.. And i burst out into laughter again!. To test that What I found out is really true, i repeat it for another 2 more times and to my amazement, she also yawn after I yawn.. Haa haa. SO yawning is contagious not only to humans but also dogs haahaa.
But there is limitations to what I found out, first the sample size is only 1, need to get more to do the experiment, so csy can try it on your chua bam bam :p. Also as mentioned earlier, I burst into laughter after she yawnz, so it maybe a the kinda reinforcement theory like she like to see my lovely laughter so yawn again after seeing me yawn heez.
Alrite its so fun lar i think, to see hey everyone, 小爱 yawn after me..

She is soooo cute....

小黑

2007-03-04T15:53:00.000+08:00

I just went over to Challenger at Funan IT mall to get my 小黑 fixed. There is something wrong with 小黑, whenever I switch off 小黑, it will automatically switch on again after a few seconds. Also, if I did not touch 小黑 for a few hours it will automatically switch off and does not go to screen saver mode. Haiz. The person say it is some hardware problem so need to bring 小黑 to hp center for diagnosis. But this will take a few weeks, which I can't afford it since I got so many projects and assignments due this month. So 小黑 please bear with me for another month. I will bring you to the doctor once I cleared my projects and assignments k. Lets 加油 together! Bhashya!
On the lighter note, today i bought 小黑 a cover haa haa it is so nice. And the goody thing is that I seldom people in school carrying it so I won't be seen as a commoner carrying similar laptop covers as well!

Nice rite? :)

But it is $49, I thought the price is a little steep. But after walking so many shops,this is the one that caught me eye and fits 小黑. Dear pay it for me! THanks Dear!

The best man that had ever entered into my life...

Bazaaring!

2007-03-03T01:45:00.000+08:00

I went to ks's booth at the bazaar today and tried two of the tops and bought one of them. I caught an eye on the one I bought at first sight. Firstly, it is because it was wore on the manequine (ks did i spelled it correctly?) And secondly the colours are very cheery so much so that I thought it lightens my mood. :)

Tadah this is the top I bought. ( I think it look nicer in reality)

KS, muz give me some commission for publicising the top! :p

Anyway, this is not the happiest thing. I was supposed to meet my friend for lunch at 2pm, but instead we got hooked up in one of the stalls that sell really nice bottoms. So we see and look, look and see for almost an hour and we settled on the stuffs to buy. In the end our lunch meeting became a shopping trip, but I was so happy that for that moment I do not feel hungry at all. Haa Haa

This is the skirt I bought from the stall. Guess what it is only $5!!!

Haahaa this explains my happiness!

2007-03-01T22:49:00.000+08:00

So much to talk about my happy stuffs, here come my sad moments, My fren and I lost $300+ at my coach's house when we played black jack. Haiz this is the first time that we lost, and so much... So each of us had to fork out $100+.. There goes my angbao $$ T.T

A remorseful day...

2007-02-16T01:49:00.000+08:00

I haven been updating for some time, and my dearest friends keep complaining. I very busy you know. :p
Today I was supposed to meet shiwen for lunch at engine fac at 12pm which we had planned a few days back. But I have totally forgotten about that, instead of waking up at 9am (which I initially planned to reach school to study), I can't resist the seduction of the coziness of my bed and I slept till 1030am. After washing up and eating and all, I realized that I have 8 missed calls and dunno how many sms received when I chanced upon my hp. It was shiwen of course, I was so shocked and panicked coz I totally forget about my date with her today. She also forgot about the meeting until she saw the belated present that she want to pass to me. So being gan chiong also, she took a cab down all the way from paya lebar to NUS. And frantically apologising to me that she would be late, without realising that actually I'm still at home. :( I feel so bad... I wont be able to meet her in time in school since I'm still at home. So i waited for her till her lesson end at 6pm. Sorry gal. Luckily she is not angry.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeeeeeee happy birthday to me! Today is my birthday, but my class end at 6pm. My initial plan was to go to bugis to take a neo print( since it was a yearly routine for me on my birthday) with Dear after my class but I was too tired to go after a long and tiring day. I even have a meeting during my 2hour break. My friend bought me a slice of cake during our meeting, of course I was surprised and happy! And this is the only cake I have during my birthday, how sad don't even have a proper cake haiz thanks rachel for buying a cake for me to make my birthday look more complete. We were so excited that we took quite a lot of pictures hehe..

Dear bought me a stalk of blue rose even though I ask him not to buy any flowers. :)

Oh ya I received a pair of sunglasses, a handbag, a precious moment photo frame from my friends! Thank You all.

And my dear made me a photo frame that he made for a few days in his workshop despite him being so busy with his final year project. He also bought me a casio watch! Thanks dear!

My 24/7 driver

A date with dear! (",)

2007-02-12T22:13:00.001+08:00

I celebrated my birthday in advance today to avoid the crowd on V'dae. It always happen that whenever I celebrated on my bdae it self, most places will be packed with people and of course couples and also most restaurants are full house with long queues outside. Haiz.. Anyway, we ate at Waraku, the two of us spent $70+ on the food!! There is some new menu like tori yaki in a heating pan and etc. We order quite a lot of food, here are some pictures, don't drool :p

After that, we went to shop around and I managed to buy a pair of shorts and a tube top to go with my bare back. Also I bought dear a shirt, I think he look great in it hehe. Today was a happy day for me!

An evening at Vivo!

2007-02-09T22:12:00.000+08:00

Finally, meet up with my jc cliques, but too bad huiling is not able to come due to some personal reasons. Its okay! We shall meet up during the CNY week again and also after clara come back after she graduate. Looking forward for that time to come. We went to Vivo together, I was hoping that we could go for a shopping spree but in the end it is a futile trip, didnt manage to buy anything. Haiz disappointed, go home empty handed... We ate at a peranankan restaurant which serves nice fish head curry. Yummy!

A few pictures that we have taken. Btw clara if you happen to see this entry please send us the rest of the photos ok? Muacks!

Haiz I feel so oversized and fat when Im with them :(

2007-02-09T13:29:00.000+08:00

I went to csy's house to play with cosmetics on Monday. It was so fun, just looking at the kind of cosmetics and accessories that she have made me so fascinated. Haha. I have been addicted to buying stuffs online especially my eye shimmers, concealers etc. They are so cheap. Anyway I have a great time playing at her place, thanks for entertaining me! And thanks for the dinner. Here are some of the pictures that I have taken. Okay here come the 自恋 part of me!!

Look what I have done to my eyes, the long eye lashes that I always yearn for.. awwww

Posing to capture the beautiful moment.

My friend said I look like a mafia's girlfriend in this picture.
Do I look like one?

ENough of me talking about this. Hey people new update I bought a really nice necklace from my friend at bazaar today. (Nice is subjective you may not like it but I adored it! This is her stall which I took some pictures of it, so next time if you see similar stall of the same outlook rmb to patronise.

i bought the red colour heart charms from her? Nice? Thumbs up.
Okay everybody please bring your focus to the two individual pairs of earrings in the picture. To ensure that you all have a closer look..

These are my creations! I made myself? Nice? It is pricing betwen $7.90 to $9.90, it is not very expensive considering that it is swaroski crystals. If you all want to show some appreciation can help to buy these two pairs of earrings. They are very unique and bring out the classy look of yours! It is a must buy! hehe

2007-02-05T00:04:00.000+08:00

I was watching Superstar grand finale earlier on with my dad. I thought that this year contestants are better than last year. To make the watching more excited, My dad and I placed a bet on each of the contestant to see who will win at the end of the day. I placed my bet on Diya being the overall champion and my dad placed his bet on Daren. Each of us took out $5 to wait for the resutls to be announced. Hmm as you all have seen the show you all would know that I lost! Ahhh here goes my $5! :( One Macdonald meal gone...
And as I was packing my urban youth notes, I realized that I really have a lot of readings to cover. Hmm no time to stareintoblankspaces le, so if there is less frequent updates, you will know why.

This is the thickness of readings that i need to cover for this semester for only a module. I repeat one module, not the total amount of readings for my semester. Luckily Im only taking 4 modules this semester.
My dad have helped me to collect my beauty hamper. The hamper consists of a 30ml Dior perfume, moisturiser and a lipstick. I think they all come in handy as I have just used up my current perfume. Also my moisturiser only left like a quarter and I do not have a lipstick. :) I am happy with what I got!

I am very kind to share with you all my happiness, this is the picture of the stuffs I got! :)

Food!

2007-01-31T23:33:00.000+08:00

yes food all the way, I forgot when was that, as I have saved this draft a few days back but had no time to wrtie. Hmm bascially there is one afternoon that I have the mood to whip up a meal to eat by myself when I was alone at home. And it is so yummy. Ahahaha

Tada my yi mee, yummy yummy.
Oh then Dear smsed me whether I want to have high tea buffet at Sakae Sushi or not and I agreed. So 2 hours after my yi mee, we went to have sushi buffet. It is so damn full, but yummy!
Some pictures that we took when we were eating.

Alrite, I think im typing crap, I forget what else I wanna say after a few days, blame it on my short term memory!:P

LUCKY!!

2007-01-26T17:28:00.000+08:00

I came home and saw a letter lying on my table. I found the envelope familiar as it has the word ACP magazines on it. Suddenly, I recalled whenever I strike a lucky draw this is the company that would notify me about it. So, I quickly open the envelope and YES!, it is a letter to inform me that I have won a lucky draw. It is the CLEO November issue. I think it is the sms I have sent. Anyway the letter wrote:

Dear Yan Ling

Congratulations!

You are our lucky winner in the CLEO/Dior Promotion. You have won for yourself a Rough Dior beauty hamper, worth $200/-

Anybody know exactly what did i won for myself? Hmm dior beauty hamper? I hope that it will not disappoint me. I still remember when I was informed that I won a canmake hamper worth $75 from CLEO earlier on, I was elated, but the hamper did not turn up to be very impressive. The packaging was sucks as it was far from what I imagined, don't look like a hamper at all, items are just in a polybag. And the items inside are just a powdered eye shadow, a liquid eye shadow, a sunscreen lotion, a baby blue nail polish. ANd they called it worth $75! haiz. But better than nothing!

This is the second "most expensive" lucky draw that I have won for myself. The first one is a watch from Solvet Titus worth $285. Hope more will come!

My friend wore a watch today which I find it quite nice, but very expensive $200+. I took a picture of it, she said it come in various colours, but I forgot what colours she mentioned coz I was engrossed in looking at the watch.

Isn't it nice?

Being blessed with good friends around you.

2007-01-20T19:13:00.000+08:00

The later part of this week was horrendous to me. I did not get my tutorial slot for two of my modules despite going for manual registration as the slot I want is too fully packed. Oh the worst thing is that one of the lecturers told me to drop the module to get another one instead since i could not secure a tutorial slot as all the other time slots clashes with my lecture. I was so panic since if that's the case I have to bid for another module since I need this one more module to graduate. So I went for appeal, many friends come by to offer me help like what other modules are less popular, those confirm can get due to large amount of vacancies. As for the other module, the admin staff advised me to look for a friend who is willing to swap the tutorial group with me and I manage to find 2, I say again 2 and not 1 who is willing! What are friends for manz. Really thank them for their help, i really appreciate it! And that solve the problem for this module. On the other hand, my first appeal for another module is not successful due to full vacancies. So i go for another appeal, call the dean's office to process quickly. Haiz Suddenly I thought that one of my friends may be able to swap her timing to me so that i can void my appeal. And yes she agreed, even though we are not very close friends. Thank you again! So i head to the lecturer's office and told her about it. Guess what she told me that 2 of the students had dropped the module and there is vacancies for the slot i want! So without having to trouble my friend to swap with me i am able to secure a tutorial slot. 真是谢天谢地！
So all my problems have been solved! But need to void my appeal, email fashelp to help me but i still feel it is not safe so i called the dean's office again.
Finally after all these have been done, i rushed to meet cindy at kallang for a haircut at somebody's house. Initially I thought of trimming my hair and steaming, but the person advised me to rebond the middle part of my hair and I agreed! $70 for rebonding and hair cut not very ex rite? Heehee and somemore it look super natural and healthy that nobody in my house knew that I rebonded my hair. Lalalala. I think i will go back to her for haircut again. $10 only cheap cheap. And i will psycho dear to go there for a haircut to change his hairstyle ahha for him it is only $8!
After a good haircut, how can we not go out to show everybody in the world our best outlook? :p so we went shopping at bugis, and i bought 2 belts. hehe spend money again. Broke le. But I AM HAPPY!

Social worker's day!

2007-01-17T23:01:00.001+08:00

Social Workers' Day falls on the 20th of this month calendar, and our fellow social work friends are busy preparing for it, meanwhile there is also a social work recruitment drive in our school to promote social work and also to recruit new members to the society. There is this jumbo jigsaw puzzle which is made up of many magnetic cards with meaningful codes on them. Lie beneath is some pictures of social work related activities and programs that we had done for our project, programs etc. This is the code that I have taken. I feel that it is really meaningful.

Today urban youth lecture is really interesting, really love Ms Nair, she never fails to inspire me with her stories and her jokes! Today's topic is about sexuality, she mentioned that it is important for the social worker to be comfortable to talk about sex if he or she is going to deal with sexuality issues. Also many questions that we have not thought of may also be raised. One need to be able to handle the situation well. I like one of the examples that she have told us this afternoon that one of the primary school students have posed. I shall name him student A.

Student A: I have a question to ask.
Teacher/Social Worker: Yes, go ahead.
Student A: Why is the penis called a penis?
Upon hearing this question how do you think we should respond? Hmm a teacher oriented answer would be, "Then in your opinion what do you think?"
Student A: Hmmm, I think it is called a penis because it look like a pen!
hahaha

Happy belated Moniversary

2007-01-16T23:54:00.000+08:00

2007-01-16T00:00:00.000+08:00

I woke up at 4.30 pm today. Opps reason being I slept at 4 plus early in the morning. :) I met up with dear at parkway to shop since I have this sudden urge to go for shopping. I saw the kimono top in one of the shops that I have bought earlier at $25 (after some bargaining, instead of $26) and they are selling at $36.90! It is so expensive, dear name it the 黑店. haha lucky me bought it at a much lower price. I bought 2 skirts, one of them which I saw it earlier but did not buy. That time they were selling it at $25, today they are selling at $15, i feel so happy again, feel like I have save $10. :) Lalalala

It has been quite some time since I met up with my JC cliques, nuan hl and clara. Today, all of us gather at clara's place for a lunch, we cooked spaghetti and salad. Yummy very nice. (of course, the cooking is done by me! :D and yes the salad is excellent thanks to hl. :) ) It is great to see them all again, reminiscing about our JC times,talking about how my face blushes when I answered KT's question in class, yeah go ahead and laugh! :p Although the work schedule in JC is hectic, but it is really nice to have a wonderful class like 02A10, and not forgetting our Ms Piggy Mak that gone throught the hard times with us worrying about our results etc. And time flies so fast most of us are graduating either this year or next year. (Sob :( I'm getting older each day)
Oh ya, I want to share with you all one incident that I have told my friends today about what I have done in JC. There are some amendment in school rules during that time that we were not supposed to leave the school premises before a certain period of time e.g 12.30pm every day. However, being eager to go home immediately after class which ended quite early on friday to enjoy my long weekend, I took the risk of breaking the school rules by leaving school early. Unfortunately, there is a teacher hiding near the main gate to catch students that attempted to leave school early, and yes I was caught. I was afraid that I would be given demerit points or detention etc, out of desperation I faked the teacher that I had stomach cramps and I wanted to go home early to rest. I actually pretended to be in pain so that I could convince the teacher to believe me. She brought me back to the foyer with a few of others who also attempted to leave school early. Seeing her sending the few other students to see the discipline master made me feel anxious and worried. Luckily the teacher is kind enough to let me off since I claimed that I have stomach cramps. heez Thanks to my good acting skills.. Hahaha (head becoming bigger)
Okay I know I am talling rubbish now, because I got nothing to do so please pardon me :p
Here are one of the pictures of the food that we have prepared today!

The spaghetti and sauce prepared by me, salad by hl, cutting by nuan, thawing food by clara.
Opps, I just realized that we did not take a group photo of ourselves.. Arghhhhh Hey gals, must remember to take photos of us together when we meet up again!

First day of class

2007-01-09T22:57:00.000+08:00

Today I attend my first two lectures for the new semester. The modules are all quite interesting, sounds lame, if not I would not bid for it. :P Dear's sis is having a stall with liyuan at the bazaar, I went to help out after my 10am class since liyuan have to go for class at 12pm. The crowd at 12pm was quite good, sold some clothes and earrings during this time, luckily lydia is with me, if not I would not be able to manage the stall, especially keeping an eye on the cash box. I saw one top which I like, it look great on me except that towards the bottom, it get a bit tight which makes it look awkward. Aww so sad, i really like the top. Anyway, I caught an eye on a super cute top, and she gave it to me heez so happy! I have another piece of top for CNY! I am happy today again! :) Oh ya, Liyuan bought me a panda calendar which I like very much but can't bear to buy even though it is only 7 bucks. Dear said that I have planner at home that I have not use yet. Upon seeing that I really like the calendar, Liyuan went to buy it for me! Thank you Liyuan!! Muakcs!

Tada this is the picture of the panda calendar!

Isn't it cute!

Back to School

2007-01-08T19:22:00.000+08:00

Today I went to school even though I have no lessons as I have to pass some notes to my chin han and also to take my cosmetics that I have bought online from her. The shimmer and all are really great! I like! heehee. Today, is a wonderful day for me as I got my cosmetics and also my pg mall bag which I have ordered 2 months plus ago and finally it is ready for collection. The bag is really nice I like it! Lalala I'm happy!

Last day of holiday...

2007-01-07T19:02:00.000+08:00

Time really pass so fast, in a nick of time, today is my last day of school holiday! Since this is the last day of holiday, i tried to keep myself awake by watching online korean drama throughout the whole night till 8 plus in the morning so that the precious time will not be wasted. I went to sleep till 230pm before i wake up to wash up and head to singapore post centre to collected my mail, my long awaited dress. Sad to say, the dress can't fit me even though it is free size.. Sob Sob, and the colour of the dress is not exactly the same as I have seen from the picture. Haiz, a bit disappointed, think need to sell the dress to a person that fit the dress.
Ok, the sad thing is over, now i have a happy thing to tell, i bought a tube dress today while shopping. Hehe really like the dress alot, I can wear it for CNY or wedding dinner. heehee. I love shopping especially if I'm able to buy something I like! Lalalala

Happy!!!

2007-01-06T21:26:00.000+08:00

I went to help out in kgcc cc during their EMB ceremony, saw many of the staff and RC members, I am so happy to see them, it has been quite some time since we meet up. The people are still as loving and caring as before. I really miss those times working there. This is the most cosy and politics-free environment that I ever work with. The people there help one another in times of tight timeline even though it is not their job scope. I really admire the kind of teamwork that the senior manager has created within their staff. I would say that she really have a knack in handling people, she is well respected by the staff and RC members, other than my basketball coach, she is the second person that gain my utmost respect. :)

Anyway, I am really glad that I was part of the working team in the past, I never regret working there, as I really meet very nice people over there that taught me a lot of things! So damn happy to see them all again! :)

Happy New Year!

2007-01-01T21:50:00.001+08:00

I have a wonderful New Year eve with dear and his friends. It started off by watching Death Note 2 which is what I have been looking forward to after my exams. The movie is disappointing to me, i prefer part 1, part 2 is too rushy, trying to put too many content in a 2.5 hrs show and the linkage from one part to another is somewhat not coherent.

Dear and I before the start of the movie.

Another picture taken, how lovely is the pink christmas tree! :)
After watching the movie, we headed to Jumbo restaurant at East Coast for our dinner, eat lotsa good food like drunken prawns, fried you tiao, chilli crab etc.

This crab cost $77!

And when the crab arrived everybody start moving.. see the hand. :p

Ziwei and I

After dinner.

At his friend's place...

We went to dear's friend house to play games, it was fun! At 12 midnight, all of us went to the balcony to look at the sea, according to his friend, every new year, the ships will shoot their rescue light into the sky, and the sky will be filled with small little red sparkling lights that resemble fire works. This is my first time watching it, i think it is really beautiful!

The next day, my mother prepared steamboat for dinner, haha yes good food all the way and i guess this steamboat is going to last for two days since usually there are some extra food leftover for the next day, so I have another two days of good food again yummy yummy! Lalala, don't envy me! :) I have to make sacrifices since I will become rounder after that ahha. :p
P.S more pictures to be uploaded, chack it out!

Sakae Sushi

2006-12-30T19:06:00.000+08:00

Yes, dear and I went out to eat again. As mentioned earlier, I was craving for salmon sushi and Sakae has quite nice salmon sushi so we decide to go there and eat. Dear stayed over at my place yesterdae so that we can head to parkway to eat Sakae after we woke up. We were planning to eat the High tea sushi buffet from 3-6pm, so I slept till 2pm wake up and bath etc and we head to Sakae. When I told the waitress we want the buffet, she said it is only on weekdays, I was like :( if we had known earlier we would not wait so long to come and have our brunch.. Haha. Still I enjoyed eating there.. Yummy. Really full.

Tomorrow We are going out with dear's friends to watch death note II and to eat good food again I guess ahaah this month spend a lot of money on food. Opps should I say I always spend a lot of money on food. During school term, eat good food due to the tremendous stress, now school holidays, it is time to relax and enjoyed, and eating is an enjoyment to eat, so the whole year round I am eating good food. Really feel thankful that I am able to eat good food whenever I like. :)

Everything is going alrite now, except for my modules, did not get one of the module I want in round 1A bidding, need to call the dean office to clarify my situation. Haiz it's so troublesome, hope I can get the module!

Back to work!

2006-12-29T23:58:00.000+08:00

Yes, I am back to work again, a last minute thingy but I am only working for a week so its OKAY! I'm working at the cc again, the work environment is similar except that I see different faces. :) The staff there are nice and friendly. I started my day bad as I encountered a mad guy, as told by my colleague, he came almost every day and ask the same questions. He even threathened to call the police blah blah, thanks to my colleague's aggressiveness that drive him away haha. Though I started my day bad, but I ended my good! There is a volunteers' appreciation night tonight so I get to eat good food. I ate abalone, shark's fin, fish, fresh scallops and chicken! haha I ate a little only, I think the food is really good, think it is not cheap, besides what I mentioned above they also serve duck, steamed prawns, others I not sure because I did not sat throughtout the dinner, went to the office to man the counter.
Here is a picture of the abalone and shark's fin.. YUMMY

By the way, i was surfing Spreee as few days back and caught an eye on these two tops.
Have a look!

Think this top is pretty sweet.

And this dress is quite unique.
But I resist my temptation, I did not buy! HaaHaa

Sushi, Teppayakki and ice cream buffet!

2006-12-28T19:18:00.000+08:00

Dear and I woke up at around 11 am to prepare to go suntec for our japanese buffet, don't know what is the name of the restaurant but according to the crowd, it seems that it is not bad. The restaurant is full house and still there is a long queue waiting outside despite that there is only one hour left for the buffet. So we decided to wait for Sakae Sushi high tea buffet, meanwhile we grab some snacks from the new expansion at Carrefour. We head to esplanade to look for a shop that sell teddy bears' accessories and clothes, hoping to look for tops for Cutie and Fatty, but all the clothes were too big for them so we went back in disappointment. We shopped at marina square after that hoping to look for a pair of shoes for myself but I did not see anything to my liking. While roaming around, we saw this Yuki Yaki restaurant, the one beside KBOX. Hmm they are having buffet lunch from 12-5pm, so in the end we settled inside as they have sushi, bbq and DIY ice cream totaling up to $18.90 each since we are students! The sushi is not fantastic apparently they did not top up the sushi after it has been taken away and there is no salmon sushi which I am craving for. The bbq is normal like those we usually eat. And the DIY ice cream is average, for first timers it may be a good experience but not those that you can go for the second, third or even fourth time. Choice of flavours are limited though. The only plus point is that it is air conditioned so you will not be eating and 'dripping' sweat at the same time. :D Here are some of the photos that I have taken.

Got back my results! Sad? Disappointed?

2006-12-26T22:34:00.000+08:00

Today I saw my results online. I did not do very well, for the first time my cap drop, and it drop quite a lot by 0.12. I am abit shocked when I saw the grade because I expect it to be much better. Now my cap is 3.41, I do not know whether want to do honours or not, as it will be a third class honours. Mak Lao Shi if you saw this entry please input your valuable comment, your beloved student is at a loss don't know whether to do honours or not.

Surprisely I got over it quite quickly, dear thought that I was very sad and called to console me. But I'm not, don't know why. And yes, one thing that makes me really happy is the arrival of my goods. heehee My death note limited figure collection and mini chupa chup handphone straps has reached my house after waiting for quite some time. Here are some of the pictures.

The packaging was exactly what was seen from their website! grinz

And after opening the chupa chup wrapper, this is what i saw....

A super mini chupa chup lollipop, damn small.. and is so cute! Really think it is worth the price when i saw it selling at $8.90 in singapore while i bought it at $4.05 more than half the price cheaper. Heehee.

I will be waiting for dear to come my house tomorrow before I opened the death note wrappers, since it is meant to be a christmas present for dear, one for him and of course one for me. :) So meanwhile keep you all in suspense of what is inside the deathnote wrappers. But you all can visit this link to see all the designs. http://www.strapya-world.com/products/16249.html

Happy Birthday to Ah gong and Christmas party at CSY's pl

2006-12-26T01:21:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday to Ah gong! Hope he can stay healthy and wish him longevity! Today my lovely Ah gong celebrated his birthday! I am supposed to reach his house by 10am but i woke up late and reached at 11am instead, luckily dear drove to pick me up, my 24/7 driver! Love him lots! I saw my niece and nephew at my ah gong's place also they are so cute, my niece is more naughty, my nephew is more obedient. They are all so adorable, hope that next time when i give birth to a baby that look like them. So cute! I brought cutie and fatty to dear (his father) because I might be staying over at CSY's place. For those who do not know who are Cutie and Fatie... Here is the pic again..Cutie (right) and Fatty (left) are twins, borned on 21/10/06. :)

I was afraid that they might be lonely when if i stay over at CSY's place so I ask dear to bring them to their place. Heez

I reached CSY's place at around 1 plus. We played mj while waiting for the guys to come. We stayed till 11 plus at night before we bid farewell. We had canadian pizzas for our dinner.

We also took quite a number of photos while playing haah on ya we also exchange presents. The pictures will do the talking, I'm too lazy to type! :p

All the gifts.. 6 of them.

Synn and I posing with the presents!

My christmas present after exchange! its a pen! so unique!

In the end, I did not stay over at CSY's place, hmm I kind of miss cutie and fatty now! :(

Merry Christmas!圣诞节快乐！

2006-12-25T00:03:00.000+08:00

Merry christmas to everyone! This year christmas eve I went to IKEA at tampines at 11am with dear and pw & zw, luckily we went earlier, when we left around 1 plus, the carpark is already full and the ikea restaurant is full and there is a long queue waiting outside. The only place that we do not wait is the cashier, there is alot of cashiers. The first impression when I got into IKEA is that it resemble the Wal-Mart store, so huge. We had our lunch first and we walk around in the showroom, caught an eye on a table which come in various colors- white, black, blue and red, i bought the red one, it cost $19.90. The reason i bought the table is because it is small and handy and can be move around in the house with minimal effort so i can use that table to play my laptop near my bed and eat my meal on the table in my parents' bedroom instead of using a table. Oh ya, the moment i show my mum the table when i got home, she keep laughing, i thought she strike 4D she said no and she keep smiling. Then i show my dad the red table and he said that you got this table to 拜拜 is it? Then I suddenly know the reason why my mum have been laughing non-stop because she was thinking of that too. Haha i did not even think of that when I was buying! Anyone they say it is a nice color they also added can use for 拜拜 also if not enought tables. :S

Here it goes my new red table with my laptop and cutie (eft) and fatty (right) beside it.They are my two sons. So cute rite?

After IKEA, dear and I went to Tampines mall to walk, while PW & ZW went to liang court. Finally got my neckerman shoes which fit my legs. Like this shoes alot...

Nice rite? I think won't be wearing till CNY heehee since i just got a new pair of slippers when my shoes give way the other time.

A few days back, my dad gave me a LV wallet that one of his friend gave him, he gave it to me so i take it that it is my christmas present this year, the LV wallet is very simple, has a coin compartment, a slot to put notes and 3 cards slots but it cost $700+. So expensive many would not know is a LV wallet though coz it is very plain.

This is the LV wallet i took using my camera, look at the wallet so plain hahaha but nice to use! The most expensive wallet i ever received!

Christmas Party on 22/12/06 at Amanda's place

2006-12-23T19:31:00.000+08:00

On Friday, Dear and I went to Amanda's place for christmas party. It is also a basketball gathering for us since we did not go for basketball for quite some time. How guilty! Upon reaching her place, we realized that her parents went out and she did not bring her keys out so all of us stood outside the house waiting for her brother to come back to open the gate for us. Most of us arrived at the same time. Dear and I started playing mj while the rest of us played boardgames. Yes the two of us only for mj haha because I am not really a boardgame fan while mj which I just learnt is interesting to me since I'm a beginner. :D
We exchange presents I got a mini water garder, my initial reaction is "huh" haha what is it for, it states for relaxing and destressing haha so funny, dear got a softtoy calender whichI like so I exchange my present and his privately haha.

Arranging the presents preparing for exchange...

My christmas present after exchanging privately with dear haha!

We had pizza hut for dinner, still think that Canadian pizza is better, they have more fillings than those from pizza hut.
We play mj for the whole night when 2 more khakis came to join us. I am the overall winner of the game, dear also win while the rest lost haha. Oh ya in one of my winnings i got 青一色 so lucky, was on winning stick but we did not play money. :p We left her place at around 3 plus in the morning and head to my house to sleep.

Our dinner - PIzzas

Rainy Days

2006-12-22T02:03:00.000+08:00

For the past few days it has been raining non-stop. The torrential rain pour has deterred me or should I say many people from going out. Dear who was supposed to go to school on Tuesday did not go because of the big downpour. Finally, we can see the sunlight yesterday, a good weather to go out but I was at work. It was my last day of work, as usual nothing to much to talk about as it was really a boring job. There is really very little people at the cc. I saw my childhood friend walking pass the cc, she is already a mother of one at the age of 24. Time flies.
The cc has approached me to work at their cc since the current temp staff is irresponsible even though I said that I can only work for 2 weeks due to my short holidays. So I turned down the other job offer since I preferred to work at the cc doing counter duties instead of administrative work. However, when I confirmed that I would be available for work, the cc staff spoke to their manager, the manager complained that the time available for me to work is too short for they need someone that would work for like a few months. So one of the staff told me about this and said that the manager would ask the other staff about their opinions. Hmm I was a bit disappointed because I had rejected the other job offer and they said this to me. Before that they even said that even it is two weeks they would still want me.. Hmmm blame it on the manager!

The temp staff who is working at the cc now wanted to quit but she did not know how to put it into words. She is very scared of some of the staff inside the cc, and she does not like the working environment. Yesterday, she even told me that she has prepared a resignation letter but do not know where to place. I was like “huh” saying “just give it to the staff there loh.” But she is afraid, she said she want to put inside the attendance book, I was like again telling her “what if the staff did not look at the attendance book how on earth are they going to know that you are quitting”? Also I feel that it is irresponsible for her to do that as the cc would not be able to find people to replace her immediately, at least must inform one or two days earlier.
Today, I went out with dear to have our late lunch at mosburger at parkway, we also went to buy Christmas present for the party at Amanda’s place tomorrow and also one for my party at Synn Ying’s place on Monday. Dear also ask me to choose a Christmas present for myself, I was elated, went to look for a nice wedge but those that I like do not have my size. When we were shopping I saw a chupa chup handphone strap that cost $9.90. I bought it online for US255, which is definitely much cheaper than the one I saw at the shop even after adding shipping fees and postage charge. I feel so happy as I though it is a good bargain that I get it for a cheaper price. You can go to this link to see if you do not believe.

http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/12_1504_2156.html

The shop also sell some mini food stuffs which can also be found in this website.
After shopping for nearly one hour plus, I went home empty handed because I could not find a pair of shoes I like. Our initial plan after reaching home is to went for a swim but it start to drizzle when we reach home, so we are not able to swim I was so pissed off with the weather, it has been quite some time since I swim. Hope it will not rain tomorrow and I would be able to swim before I go for my party.
I just received Nuan’s Christmas card today! Thanks for your lovely Christmas card! It’s very nice! Ok set I would arrange a meetup soon but Clara didn’t contact me after she came back, so maybe I would wait for her to online first ba. I don’t think my boyfriend and I would be celebrating Christmas since I’m going Synn Ying’s place to celebrate. Haha. Since you ask for more pictures, I will put some now. :D These are some photos that we took at Ms Mak’s birthday party at Kallang Mac, due to limited spaces, Ms Mak only invited those that went for KS birthday celebration, so don’t be sad if you are not invited coz you will not at KS birthday party. Heez

Children

2006-12-19T02:31:00.000+08:00

It is almost 2am, when everybody is hiding under their warm blanket and soundly asleep, I am still awake. It is a peaceful and quiet night, besides the sound of my fan swirling; I could hear the rain pouring outside the window vividly. Looking out the window, I am really glad that I have a cozy home where I can hid or cuddle on the bed when the weather turns cold, a permanent shelter that protect me from stormy weather.
Whenever I thought of how fortunate I am, I would think of the less fortunate, wondering where they are settling down, do they even have a proper shelter at all. Today, I read the Chinese newspaper and I saw an article on how unfilial children can be in Hong Kong. They coax their parents into going overseas trip with them, on the surface level, they are bringing their parents for a holiday to enjoy but in their minds they are contemplating to cheat their parents’ money and abandon them at a foreign country. The elderly stated in the article is one who is senile, and I believe that their children abandoned her because of the heavy burden shouldered on care giving. Luckily the elderly is brought back to Hong Kong but with her medical condition, she is not able to remember where she stay, thus, despite being brought back to Hong Kong, she is being left on the streets, being a beggar. A lot of emotions stirred up in my body when I read the article. I really feel for the elderly, I was close to tears when reading it. I was just wondering how someone can be so cruel towards their close kin, I really cannot understand. Even though if we say that, it is because the parents may have done something bad in the past that left an indelible mark in their children’s minds, it does not mean that the children can do something so cruel to their parents.
I feel that one day these people will have their retribution either when they turn old they may treat likewise too or in their next life… It is a matter of time.. ( You better watch out by CSY)

2nd day of work

2006-12-19T00:31:00.000+08:00

Hmm today is my second day of work and as usual there is little work to be done. I interviewed 24 people (24 x 5mins=120mins= 2 hrs) and i work from 9am to 10pm so i have been slacking for 11 hrs!! Sometimes it really get too bored that I almost dozed off. I might be continue working at the cc for the rest of my december holidays to earn some easy money :D Tomorrow was my rest day, I was looking forward as my initial plan was to go to IKEA at tampines with dear and his friends, now that dear has to go to school to do his FYP, we have to cancel the trip, quite disappointing, but studies come first mah. So we need to plan another time to go again.

Oh ya dear stay till late last nite at my house to help my dad with some com stuffs, Xiao ai was here too, she was too tired that she hop into my bed and find her best position to sleep... (top) She really know how to enjoy... hehe The other one (bottom) was taken at dear's place when she is sleeping soundly in an air-conditioned room that a blanket is essential! So cute!! BTW this pics are taken from my phone, quite clear rite!

First day of work

2006-12-16T23:20:00.000+08:00

Today is my first day of work as a surveyor. Before I even start working, I have tried to visualize how my working schedule will be like, wallking and roaming around in the cc, busy interviewing the customers, I thought that I would be damn tired after work... But to my amazement.. there is very little crowd in the cc, partly because it is a weekend, so there is very little people for us to interview. Most of the time spent is sitting in the office and chit chatting with my partner. Though the time crawls very slowly, I am glad that the work is not as bad as I thought, it is quite relaxing actually. Can you imagine from 9am to 10pm, with the complusory 2 hrs break for lunch and dinner, I only interviewed 29 ppl, and each interview on average is about 5 mins. How bad can that be.. haha slacker's perspective. Some of you may think that it is a waste of time, but I am paid for wasting the time away :p
Most of the people in the cc are mainly bringing and fetching their kids from courses and childcare, others come to the cc to read the newspapers, the majority are those that pass by the cc to go to the nearest busstop as walking into the cc is a shorter route rather than going about the cc. Hence it is pointless to interview them as they did not come to the cc for any purpose...
Anyway the staffs over there are quite friendly and easy to get along with. :)

At home

2006-12-15T18:44:00.000+08:00

While waiting for my dear to sms me before I leave my house to meet him for dinner and maybe a swim, let me take this time to blog. I have been reading death note whole day, I'm so sad as L has died... Awwww.. I think he is really a clever and witty person. Although Light is also one intelligent chap i still prefer L, his actions are so comedy. Oh yes, just to update I have bought the blue color dress shown on one of my blog entries, hehe can't resist the temptation, if everything goes right I should be able to get the dress in two weeks time. Hopefully I can fit the dress, if not i have to go for dieting again or should I say I have never stop doing that? haha But still does not make any difference, really envy those who can eat what they like and do what they like (sleeping) and not putting on weight.
Tomorrow is my first day of work, it a three day temp job have to work from 9am to 10pm, the working hours are so longgg, luckily its only for 3 days so I just have to bear with it. But don't why whenever i am about to start working during my holidays I would feel abit reluctant, but if I did not manage to find a job I would feel panic or stressful, maybe coz my pocket will be tighten, cannot buy the stuffs I like unless I am working (got money to buy them). Hmmmm life is so complicated.. haha I think I am thinking too much. Anyway lets hope for the best, need to stand the whole day tomorrow, hopefully everything is smooth sailing! 加油！提起劲来吧！

Shopping with Synn Ying

2006-12-14T21:55:00.000+08:00

Today was a slack day for me. I slept till 12pm and wait for my dear to come my house to help me with my laptop, all those installation etc coz im a computer idiot. While he was meddling with all the stuffs instead of helping him, i lie on the bed to read the comic- Death Note. I think the comic is nice, really looking forward for the movie to be out soon. Heard from Clara that part II is damn nice think she watched it in HK. But then again if the movie is out, this means that i would have little days left for my holidays. Hmm mixed feelings...
I met Synn Ying in the evening for dinner and to pay for her belated birthday present. Bought a feminie watch for her from Solvet Titus, think the design is quite elegant and sweet, and of cos worth the price since it is on 50% sale. I was supposed to buy a pair of slippers since the current pair is spoilt but couldn't find one that I like. It was quite disappointing though especially to go home empty handed without buying anything after shopping. Argh hate that kinda feeling. However, I was quite happy to see my secondary frens whom i have not seen for very long ever since graduation and also Mak Lao Shi and Lao Shi Gong. It was quite "eerie" as i was thinking about whether I would bump into her, few minutes before I saw her. Anyway, I always think that Mak Lao Shi and Lao Shi Gong make a perfect couple, they are so cute and loving. Wish them all the best!!

Today Dear and I went to Suntec to eat Crystal Jade. It has been sometime since we went to the Crystal Jade at Suntec. We usually go to the one at holland village since it is nearer to our school. I think the standard at Suntec has dropped especially the way they cooked the zhe jiang la men, they put too much of the gravy so much so that it become more like a soup. Anyway after eating we walk aimlessly around and we landed at the arcade playing games. I like the basketball shooting game played twice but scored lousily coz i shoot too high.. Hehe. Not long after that we went to buy some snacks and head for home. Recently i have been addicted to one particular comic- Slam Dunk which i have read before many years back. And this is my third time reading it, it is still as interesting as though i have not read it before, the parts that make me laugh for the first time make me laugh again. Okay gotta continue reading them lo...
