I just met up with Xuan Kai and Jian Sen just now after so long. We met up aimless and think of what to do on the spot. Sounds like my usual routine. So, I met Xuan Kai first at the MRT station. Then we walked to nübox to meet Jian Sen whom went to the toilet.

I apologize for all the lack of quality posts now a days. It's all been fast fast, short detail and post cause I was too lazy to bother. So now I shall do one post properly since I'm home early and had adequate sleep last night. Let me start off from yesterday.

Yesterday, at around six, I arrived at IMM Garden Plaza. I was there for a meet and greet session for the idol drama "Sunny Happiness". As most of you know, it's unusual of me to attend such celebrity program. I shall admit, the only reason I'm there was because Mike He was attending. He's the celebrity that I had the biggest crush on, for four years. If you knew me well, you would have known him.

Five minute upon arrival, to my surprise, I saw Wen Hui. I smiled at her and she pointed me to Ka Yee. There I joined them. Ka Yee said she wanted to tell me about the meet and greet but later decided not to. She wanted to take photos there, post it to Facebook and make me jealous. Tell me what kind of friend have I got there. Laughs.

We waited and waited. At around seven thirty, half pass the time stated, Mike He finally appeared. He's been carrying a frown which really annoys me. Apparently, they are auctioning a pair of wristbands for charity, which failed miserably. It started from one hundred dollars, in the end, it was only sold at the price of two hundred and eleven dollars. Within an hour, the program ended. So I headed home on bus ninety nine while Ka Yee and Wen Hui headed for the train.

Today morning, woke up, got ready and went to my void deck to meet Hakim. We took the bus to Jurong Point and we had Pizza Hut for lunch. There we talked about a lot of rubbish. Nothing to elaborate, just a lot of rubbish. After the meal, we decided to head to Clarke Quay.

At Clarke Quay, I was looking forward to my Turkish Ice Cream. To my dismay, the stall isn't opened. Headed back to Central to buy some Sticky. After buying Sticky, headed to Somerset. Upon reaching 313@Somerset, we headed back to Boon Lay in less than thirty minutes. Took the bus to Pioneer Mall McCafé. Hakim treated me to a Mango Smoothie and Oreo Cheese Cake. Awesome much.

Went to Giant to get some groceries for Auntie (Hakim's Mum), then walked home. Life's like that.

I'm back from my ever so exhausting day. Just today, I saw Sin Yew, Wei Liang, Kevan, Dominic, Louis, Maynard, Estelle, Asyraf and Safirah while going out with Darrell, Lee Rong, Queeness and Elton. We met up at one thirty, as usual, Queeness was late. So me and the boys headed over to Jurong Safra first. Then slightly after two thirty, Queeness arrived.

So we sang our hearts out, and around five, the system locked. We walked to Jurong Point. 星 restaurant steamboat for dinner. Darrell treated us. He's so awesome. Thank me for hypnotizing him into treated us. Then we went to 记得吃 for desert. Then walked around Jurong Point about then headed to the nearby night market.

Walked around and sat at the Frontier Café where we chat about our next outing. I'm don't want to be the one to plan again. I don't care if Boon Lay Basketball lost to Zheng Hua by three points, I'm still not going to plan it. Angry face.

Today, I went to Singapore Science Centre to attend "CSI: The Experience" with Felicia, Chun Jia and Xuan Kai. A little after two, my mother drove me to the Science Centre. There I met Felicia and Chun Jia. We bought four children tickets for S$16 each. Then we went to Kinetic Garden to have a bit of fun while waiting for Xuan Kai to come after his school.

After Xuan Kai arrived, we headed for the exhibition hall for the "CSI: The Experience". There, We split into two groups. Chun Jia and Felicia one, while me and Xuan Kai another. Then we started to try to solve the three cases. The cases are far too straightforward and easy to solve. The answers, well, are posted on the wall. I'm disappointed.

After more and more school children went in, we quickly finish the case and got out. After which, we headed to tour around the exhibits and having some great fun. Around six, we headed back to Jurong Point, where we had our dinner at Burger King. Xuan Kai went home to change while the rest of us went to the arcade.

They went to play Dance Dance Revolution but apparently my limbs and brain are badly synchronized so thus making me unsuitable for the game. Thus, I went to play street basketball. Once I used Chun Jia's card, the other time, was cause there is a credit in the machine already. Now apparently my hand hurts. Then we saw Ziquan then we played a little more.

After which, went home. Now I'm lying on the bed, with the overheated laptop pressed against my tummy, blogging. Hope to meet up with those lovely people soon.

I'm exhausted and worn out today. After so long of planning, finally got to go out with my lovely people. But this is not entirely a full group outing since Edy is not free, Natassja need to rush home due to some personal reasons. But still I enjoyed the reminder time with Tharshini, Xiang Qi and Dilip.

We met were supposed to meet at twelve. But everyone was late, except Natassja. I first met Natassja and we went for a walk at Jurong Point. Soon, Dilip and Tharshini starts coming in, then come Xiang Qi. We waited for Edy. While waiting for Edy, saw Weng Hong whom was on the way to meet his girlfriend. Had a small chat with him.

After Edy came, we took the train, he left us at Jurong East. So he came just to accompany us on the train. Then we head to Clementi and went to Sakura International Buffet. Ten minutes after we sat down, Natassja got a call and has to rush home. As we were late, after one hour or so of eating, we got chase out.

After that, we cabbed to Jurong Point. There we went Sasa to shop for perfume. Then went to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf where we got some coffee and gossip. I had a super time with them. Next month meeting again. This time no more last minute things okay?

I'm practically lazy to blog now. But if I continue procrastinating I would end up not blogging. So, let's practice determination and self control. If you are a friend of mine in Facebook, you would have known that I have just been to Singapore Zoo lately. As you know from my previous few photos, my aunt and uncle are back from America for the Chinese New Year. So I got to spend some time with them.

On 8th February, woke up at eight in the morning. Around ten forty, took a cab down to Singapore Zoo. About eleven fifteen, met my aunt and uncle. There we had some food at Ah Meng Café. After which we started going in. Uncle Brett gave me the ticket that has the Douc Langur face on it. Laughs. Took a group photo at the front door then I started touring about the Zoo.

I have to admit. The place stinks, especially the Asian Otters. Though they are cute, but they piss and shit every few minutes. I wouldn't dare have them as my pets, seriously. We later went into Shaw Foundation Amphitheater for the show titled "Rainforest Fights Back". The show plot was kind of shallow. But animals are pretty awesome. How they are so well behaved.

Had a Cranberry Ice Slushy afterward due the hot weather. Then continued touring around the place. At around four thirty, look the boat dock two. There we walked to Shaw Foundation Amphitheater again where we watched "Splash Safari". After the show, left the Zoo, cabbed to MRT and took train home.

The next day is the Lunar Human Day, where in Chinese myth is the day humans are created, therefore everyone's birthday. Arrived at Jurong Bird Park's Ah Yat Seafood. Got a room and sing songs. Got some discount as we are known as usual customers. Laughs then homed and sleep.

Tomorrow, my aunts and uncle would be at my house for dinner before flying back to United States on Sunday.

Nearly forgot to post about the Chinese New Year gathering at Ms Lim's. So apparently I got home from the airport at around five, so I got dad to drive me to Ms Lim's which is at Teban Garden and I clearly have no idea how to go. When I reach there, every one was there already, so I was the last. There, we joked, laughed, and talked. Had an awesome time there.

Around six thirty, we got chased out by Ms Lim. Some of us decided to have dinner together. Headed to Jurong Point on Bus 30. There while we are deciding what to eat, went to G2000 to disturb Asyraf since he is working there. Then we finally decided to have our meal in Burger King.

After which, headed home on bus 243G which Edy and Dilip. Had a great time but this maybe the last time 4E7 `10 ever meet up. Never again.

I'm back from my Thailand trip to Phuket, where we resides at Outrigger Laguna Phuket Villa 4253. Woke up at five thirty in the morning on 2nd February to get ready as the chauffeur arrived at our void deck at six thirty. Reached the airport with my parents, brother, grandmother, her maid, second and third aunt. The chauffeur drop my grandmother, her maid and my aunts and Terminal 2 after which he dropped the rest of us at the Budget Terminal.

At the Budget Terminal, we met our forth aunt, and uncle Brett. Had some coffee while waiting for my sister to rush over from a test at Nanyang Polytechnic. She arrived just in time and we checked in and my parents went over to buy some duty free goods. After which, headed to the immigration then boarded Tiger Airways Flight 2152 to Thailand, Phuket. Within one hour and thirty minutes, I've arrived to Phuket International Airport.

Upon arrival, our chauffeur was there waiting for us. He's name is Porn (No kidding). Loaded up our luggage under the blazing sun. Then we headed to the resort with a little more than an hour car ride. There, our 4 room villa is apparently not ready, so they gave us a 2 room villa for temporary usage while they get our 4 room villa ready before sunset. So off we go to Jungceylon Shopping Mall for our lunch. We had steamboat at MK Gold Restaurant. I don't know if I'm just simply hungry or the roasted duck is simply awesome. But this isn't the first time eating here. I also dined there two years ago on a Penang-Phuket Chinese New Year Cruise Trip.

After our meal, went to Swensens to get some really sinful chocolate fondue. Headed to Carrefour to buy some tidbits and necessities for the villa aftermath. After which headed to Chang Beer Garden where Dad, Mom, Uncle Brett and brother had some beer while my fourth aunt, sister and I just drank some fruit juice. After the drink, the chauffeur arrived to fetch us to Phuket Town where we bought fireworks and firecrackers. The adults are intensely excited as Singapore had banned the use of fireworks and firecrackers nearly forty years ago. They seem like they are looking for their long lost childhood.

Papa's Restaurant was were we had our dinner. The food there was average but the Tom Yum soup was clearly better than that that I had in Hilton Hotel during my graduation night. After the fulfilling dinner, headed to our 4 room villa. The villa was very huge. The master room had a walk in closet complete with a toilet as big as my own bedroom. We had our own pool with poolside shower, four poolside seats with umbrellas and a pavilion which has two more seats. A kitchen complete with baking oven, microwave oven and stoves. A study corner. A balcony upstairs with poolside umbrella and two seat. two rooms are also connected through the balcony. The whole villa is fully air conditioned and wifi is available throughout. We had a patio and a front poach.

Changed into my swimming costume and headed for the pool. My fourth aunt, uncle Brett and sister came in too. Laid in the pool the watch the extravagant sight for hundreds of stars. Got up from the pool, headed to my room for a bath. After I am done with it, I went downstairs while waiting for everyone to get done with their baths. Upon twelve, we opened a bottle of Moët & Chandon - Rosé Impérial champagne. My brother and second aunt set off some small fireworks. Everyone had a cup of the drink. It was quite good as it has a bit of dry sweetness, slightly fruity.

I headed to bed after my drink due to the exhausting day. Furthermore, the bed is very comfortable! Woke up a little after seven the next day. Had Coco Pops for breakfast. I forgot to mention. Breakfast is also served every morning. Two jugs of milk, two jugs of orange juice, cereals and bread. After my breakfast, called for the resort own van to fetch us to the beach nearby. There, we set off a firecracker. It was so loud and smoke keep flying into my eyes.

After which, called for van again to fetch us back to the villa. There, got ready to 拜年 to the adults. Apparently only had three red packets this year. One from parents, one from my grandmother, and one from my fourth aunt and uncle Brett. Collected a total for S$ 250, US$100. After which, headed to วัดไชยธาราราม (Wat Chalong Temple). There, we prayed a bit, and I got lazy to go in to various temple cause it is compulsory to remove shoes so I waited outside while the adults went in to take a look.

After we left the temple, we went around to take a look at the temporary market near the temple. There most of them bought some shoes or clothing of some sort other than me. Then the chauffeur came and send us to Phong Phang Seafood Restaurant for our lunch. The service was practically full of shit. Food was slow and taste average. Nobody even wants to come and give us bill when we wave frantically for them. I swear we had the urge to just walk away leaving unbilled. The only good thing there is the epic faced baby. She is a Caucasian baby who is so cute. She had so many emotions at the same time!

After which, went to Central Festival Phuket to find a walking stick for my grandmother as we accidentally lost it at the temple. There, we are directed to a Pharmacy at Phuket Town. After we had got it, we headed back to the resort. At the resort, there is a pleasant surprise. There is a white Miniature Poodle at our front porch. Then he ran to the pool side and run around. He was so cute, but we have to bring him out as we have to leave the villa soon. Upon bringing him out, he ran two villa away so I suppose that's where he lives.

We left for Phuket FantaSea which is a Cultural Theme Park. Not very big, but still, a nice place to be in. Went into the Tiger Jungle Adventure. There I saw many beautiful animals, which included the White Tiger and White Peacock. We later went to The Golden Kinnaree to have a buffet dinner. Then slightly before nine, headed to The Palace of the Elephants Theater for a show titles "Fantasy of a Kingdom". The show was awesome, but it got be thinking, how hard they trained the poor elephants.

Back to villa, bathe, felt asleep instantly. Woke up around eight on the 3rd. The driver came at fetch us around eleven. Headed to By Pass Seafood Restaurant to have our lunch. The food there is quite good, but the environment is bad. The foreigners having meals there are loud. Really loud. As loud as five 4E7 `10 together. That's how loud.

After our meal, headed to Phuket Shooting Range. They completely over changed there. ฿890 (S$36.70) for 10 shots. The go-cart is also charged at the same price for 10 minutes, but 5 of us still went for it. Then we headed uphill for and elephant ride opened by our chauffeur's friend so we are changed ฿700 instead of ฿800. After our ride, we headed to Headed to Wang Talang where Mom bought a necklace where I bought a ring and a necklace. Then, went to Porntip to buy some cashew nut. Then went to Tesco Lotus where we had our dinner at the Japanese restaurant named Mamiya, food not impressive.

Headed back to the villa where I head for a swim. Then sleep promptly after I bathe. The next day we left the villa at twelve. Went to Khon Thai 2 Restaurant for our lunch. They had the most humongous cockles I have ever seen! Environment there were pretty good. There, after our meal, we set off a fire cracker. Later we went to Lin Lai Xieng to have some bird nests. I had the Coconut flavored one, which was pretty good.

Headed over to a night market to do some shopping. After which, headed for dinner at I forgot where. Then to a beach where we played fireworks! I'm going to upload the videos soon and add a link below. The fun of playing this explosives it's about lighting it up, it's about running away after lighting it up. I ran like crazy after lighting the fireworks up. Back to villa, swam, bathe, pack luggage and slept.

Woke up at five thirty due to an intense tummy ache. Went back to sleep. At around seven I woke up again to know that my sister got a tummy ache too. Fourth aunt gave us some Pepto-Bismol to soothe the pain. It really works. Then headed to the airport and take Tiger Airways Flight 2153 back. At Budget Terminal, got up a shuttle bus to Terminal 2 where we met our aunts and grandmother. Then we ate 食在旺, then chauffeur came and send us home.

I love the diligent service of the Thais. They are always ready to serve and a little tip of ฿40 (S$1.70) can make them really happy and contented. Simple lives. Post on 4E7 class gathering at Ms Lim's would be up tomorrow.
