Day 1 (Year 1 End-Of-Semester Break)

2012-02-28T18:11:00.001+08:00

Hello. I am currently seating on a corner of the bus that just stopped by a bus stop near my secondary school heading towards home. Today is yet another unproductive day of my life. But who's there to care? It's holidays! So apart from watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (again), I headed out to Bukit Batok for some Gong Cha. (I know, again. My life need to be a lot less predictable.)

But before that, I went to Jurong Point's Post Office to get a package which contains a watch a bought online a month ago. It's in a pretty shade of baby pink that comes in a watch box that serves as a coin bank at the same time. Later, I trained to West Mall where I met Yii Mei. Went downstairs to get Gong Cha. Got the usual, Caramel Milk Tea with White Pearl, 50%. I'm pretty sure they gave me like 75% or 100% cause it is soooooo sweet. Got to admit their standard dropped quite drastically since the first time I tried it 1.5 years ago. I'm still obsessed.

Then we sat down right outside Bee Cheng Hiang and had a small chat. Don't really remember what we talked about anymore. I remember bragging about how pretty my phone is. But shortly we walk to the bus stop where we boarded 187 and Yii Mei alighted near her house and I took the bus all the way to Jurong Point. Had a little walked around and bought some Taiwan Chicken.The bus now is filled with that smell and hopefully I don't get stomp for that. I can already image what the title will be: "Ignorant girl brings chicken on board bus that smells so awesome everyone got hungry."

That's pretty much it for today. Going home to drink some homemade Barley and finish up some work that I promised mom I would do for her. My phone is currently buzzing like mad cause my friends are chatting on the whatsapp group and thus I shall quickly finish up today's post and see you all tomorrow.

Over & Done With

2012-02-27T22:06:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, I finally met Veronica after a year. Time really flies. It's been a year since the clique fell apart. The meet up yesterday brings back all the memories. The good, the bad and everything in between. Like how we first met, how they came to Suntec everyday to fetch me home from work, where we hung out, lurking around Far East Plaza and dining at NaNa Thai Restaurant used to be what we did every other week and now turns out to be like shadows of the past. As much as I hate to admit it, they were the time of my life.

Either way, back to what yesterday. We did great catching up. Apart from talking about school and me whining about the usual stuff, we actually did managed to catch up quite a bit and did some shopping. We talked a bit about how the clique actually fell apart. We never really got the answer.

Enough of the sad stuff. We actually got quite a loot from shopping. Buzzing through H&M, F21 and Flea Markets. We got some matchy rings and earphone jack covers. We also had artease, Starbucks and headed to NaNa Thai Restaurant for dinner with Aloysius and Jordan.

I had a great time yesterday. Hopefully I do meet them up again soon. Most likely this Thursday I hope as Veron and Aloy will be heading to China for their OIP next week.

Today is my last paper, the last day of school. As much as I can't wait for my holiday, there's this tiny part of me that can't bear leaving my classmates. After all, when as you stop becoming a class you would never have a time where you can meet up as a whole anymore despite how much they say they would. Just look at 4E7 '10. Boy, I miss them. Well at least we're meeting up on 9 March, hopefully. Really missed those secondary school times.

I miss 1E6 '07/2E6'08.

I miss 3E7 '09/4E7 '10.

And of course, how could I miss the out?

I miss CYOT/FT/1B/24, CYOT/FT/1A/24.

And all the fun times in between.

Thanks for the awesome year guys. It been great having each and everyone of you as my classmate. Through this year I see everyone grow and change, for better for worse. I hope I am a passable class rep and may all of you have a great poly life ahead!

So now that the holiday have started. I got this plan to like blog every single day. Maybe not like super long post but short posts that come straight from my iPhone about my day. I wonder how well I can keep that up, but I'm pretty sure I'll get lazy. Oh well, I hope I stay motivated!

Behold

2012-02-22T20:19:00.000+08:00

I'm less than a week away from slight freedom and here I am blogging about things that happened in my life lately. So I have been to Aik Peng's Birthday Celebration at East Coast Park as invited by Elvina. They were having some dog adoption drive there and thus there were a lot of cute dog trotting around. I literally melted.

That Tuesday, Ka Yee and I headed to Chun Jia's place so I can help Ka Yee jailbreak her phone. Aftermath headed to Wheelock to send brobro's phone to servicing then have a bit of shop around.

That's pretty much it. Can't wait for my holiday. ^^

Secret Valentine

2012-02-14T10:32:00.001+08:00

One look at the title and you expect me to introduce you a random guy that you think I have been secretly dating for awhile? No if you are not on the same page as my dad. My dad kept insisting that I have a boyfriend. Someone tell him his daughter is too fat and ugly for anyone. Haha.

Yesterday's paper was manageable. But not to the extend that I score well. Today is St. Valentine's Day but what do I do? Go to school and do assignments. Wow. Oh well, it's not like I have a date or something and I would most likely stay at home and rot if not for the need to complete assignments at home. Sigh.

Yes, I prepared St. Valentine's Day presents for my friends. Been doing that since Secondary School. Giving each other roses and claiming it's friendship day (?) at the same time. Meh, probably just to make all the forever alone people more loved on this day only. Ha. Either way, it's grown on me so why not do it again this year?

Just so you are wondering why am I so free to blog lately, it's cause I'm starting to blog using my phone. Yes, again. But I seem to have the ability to type more on my phone. I know, weird. I sound like I am talking to myself... Wait, I am... I'm going bonkers, oh no.

You can't love everybody, just love who you think deserve to be love. Love who you think is there to help you when you are down. Those who even bother trying to cheer you up when you are down just cause they love your smile and not be there just cause you sometimes proved to be useful to them. Love the people who stood by you even when you are wrong but will tell you between right and wrong. Love the people who will think about you when they got happiness to share, not those who think of you only when they face problems. Love the people that you feel safe with and not those you make you feel like they would turn around anytime and ditch you.

Everyone have a good Saint Valentine's Day. ^^

Never Learn

2012-02-13T13:03:00.001+08:00

I'm currently filled with frustration an anger. I'm 3 hour away from my paper and I know nuts about the module. Haven't I learnt my lesson for scoring 2.75 GPA last semester? Assignments due Wednesday, quizzes due Friday. Yeah I'm pretty much screwed.

Some random photos to keep this post less serious. (: I'll start posting next week I think...

As you all my all know, I'm know for my spam shots. Unfortunately Facebook are unable to host gifs and thus no where to show my humorous works! So I decided to create a post of GIFs I created last year. In no particular order. I hope you have as much fun looking as them as I have making them. :D

Doomsday Is Here

2012-01-01T20:30:00.004+08:00

Hey lovelies. It's 2012 already! So who did you spend the first minute of 2012 with? I spent it with my beloved Secondary School CCA friends. I spent New Year with Xuan Kai and Chun Jia two years in a row. How cool was that? Want to spend it together three years in a row? :P

From New Year 2011. How have I changed? HAHA! I've grown fatter.

On the last day of 2011, we went to IKEA Alexandra. I wanted to buy photo frame, so the lovely others accompanied over and we had dinner there. 12 Chicken Wings are not enough for 6 grumbling tummies.

After which, we headed to Mavis' place where I had fun with cute little Vicky.

Vicky is a parrot. Haha, and you thought who is he/she. I have a video of her imitating our laughters but my DSLR failed to record sounds after sent for servicing, which meant I have to spend it for servicing AGAIN!

After which, we headed downstairs to play with some sparklers and do some light painting. Accidentally made Xuan Kai drop his phone. It was hurt so badly. Sorry! I still feel super guilty now. ):

Shortly the time we left in 2011 went away. We headed up Mavis' 25^th storey apartment to see some awesome fireworks. The view from her house is awesome! We saw fireworks from Boon Lay, Jurong Island, Woodlands, Marina Bay, Malaysia (Many Parts). I'm jealous of her apartment!

I hope 2012 would be a better year for all of my friends and family. Bad luck would all go away. May friendship stay forever, good luck come and BUY 4D WIN 4D BUY TOTO WIN TOTO! Happy New Year.

The End

2011-12-31T00:31:00.013+08:00

Hey! How's life you guys? My comment section has been very dead, would appreciate if you guys post some comments! Today is the last day of the year. Quite an unproductive year indeed. A day after my previous post, my sister's friends came over to our place for some Steamboat dinner. Was great. Received lots of chocolates too! <3

Left to right: Candylicious Chocolate (from Yii Mei), Swissbake Chocolate (from Aik Peng) and DIY box with mix Chocolates (from Elvina. I'm turning super sweet at this rate. :P

Today, I went to VivoCity to pick up my camera which is nearby. After getting back my camera, it's the photo snapping frenzy again. God, I miss the sound of my camera's shutter.

Ahlau and Chun Jia accompanied me to get my camera. Love them. :D

After which, we headed over to Pioneer Chinese Orchestra's Post-Concert Reception cum Annual Dinner. Was slacking there for three hour or so and went over to FairPrice to get my coconut juice. Didn't know why I am so obsessed about it. Haha, I shall end here. I shall see you next year. This year had wings!

P/s. Leave me some comments!

Merry Christmas

2011-12-25T23:21:00.022+08:00

Hey lovelies! It's Christmas today and it's reaching an end soon. I'm lazy to blog but after constant whines from my sister, I decided to blog. Christmas is a great excuse to spend time with your friends and giving gifts. The joy of seeing your friend like the gift you picked up for them is indescribable.

This Christmas has also been good to me. Got quite a number of gifts and I shall show them to you one by one!

I got a stalk of hot pink rose from Chun Jia. Currently it's starting to whiter considering it's be cut off it's roots for almost a week now. Talking about this rose, it's funny how excited my dad was when he saw this rose. He obviously expected a guy to give me that and hope that I have a boyfriend. Sorry dad, I'm about to disappoint you. Haha! Chun Jia also gave me a bag of Chocolate Crinkles but I finished it before take a photo of it.

As I only open all my presents today, I burst out laughing when I open this present today despite receiving this present a week ago. Hashima With Red Dates. This present was from Jun Sheng for Gabon gift exchange. There's a price tag at the bottom of the bottle! (He exceeded the intended budget) Haha.

Also from a gift exchange, I receive this mix-style Skull Black/Pink Headphones from Felicia. It's hot pink! Above is the video of the gift opening that day. It was great fun. Lots of screaming! Also, I got 2 boxes of Guylian La Perlina from the same person too.

We got a parcel a few days ago from our 4th Aunt living in the states. Despite not living with us, she never seem to forget us and she has always been generous with the gifts. In the parcel we got Stila Dream In Full Color Palette, SEPHORA by O.P.I Glimmer Wonderland Eighteen Piece Mini Nail Colour Set and Coach Kristin Grey Op Art Swingpack (My sister got the black one).

Similar to the first photo we're wearing Christmas hats given by out 3rd Aunt. We also wore it to dinner yesterday. However I don't think I fit well to them. Sigh.

From the Clique24 Christmas, I got this Baby Tigger plush and Christmas hat from Jie Xiang cause I am Angel-less then he scared I emo ah, no present. Haha, it's so cute. But I won't emo because I have no present lah. Haha.

Then I received this Fred Perry Inspired backpack from Xiang Qi. Actually I know what she's going to give me since she asked me that a few months ago. I also want to thank her for helping me with my make up yesterday.

Today morning, my sister pass me a gift in a box that I gave her her presents in. I got the Om Nom shirt that I wanted. It's so cute. My sister gave me another Smurf shirt which is really cute too. I love it!! How do I look in them? I know they are in men's cutting but they are too cute to resist!

Brother just came home with Christmas gift for me too. He gave me a "Keep Smile" cup completed with a lid. He also came home with a small clip Santa hat, which look too small for me. I totally can't go for the cute look despite how hard I try. Hahaha. Oh well, I know someone who looks awesome in that small Santa hat!

Wait for it

Aw, ain't that a darling? Fits perfectly. Haha.

Also, I got Christmas cards from Elvina, Ka Yee, Felicia, Chun Jia, Mavis and Xiang Qi. Love the effort they put into making and writing the cards.

Apart from all the gifts posted in this post, I also received some meal treats! I got treated to Astons Specialities Hickory BBQ Chicken by Cong Han. I received SGD 200 from my 8th Great Aunt and a treat to Tung Lok Seafood À La Carte Dinner Buffet.

So all in all, this Christmas is great. So much love. Once again want to thank everyone for the gifts, Merry Christmas and may 2012 be an awesome year for you! ♥

The Lunar Eclipse

2011-12-10T22:16:00.006+08:00

So, have you caught the beautiful and rare eclipse today? If not, I shall share you my fail attempt in trying to capture it. So minor update on my life. School's out but for three weeks only. Can't wait for Christmas. I plan to revamp my blog this holiday so do check back often for more post and a brand new blog. (: Oh yeah. Enjoy the moon.

但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

Here Comes Goodbye

2011-11-20T15:35:00.014+08:00

Ignore my ridiculously random title to this blog. I simply placed the title of the song I am currently listening to cause I was unable to find a suitable title to this post. One entire month of no blogging. Didn't have time for that and this time I'm not lying. So many assignments and stuff. I am supposed to be doing my assignment now too. Sigh.

My memory is probably jumbled up for good. The best way I could remember my event flow is through Facebook photo tags. Hahaha. So this is what happened.

I went for a cruise the day after my class barbecue (previous post). Since it's the n^th time I went for a cruise trip, nothing special happen and therefore ain't going to blog much about it.

Then school started. Spammed with assignments within the first week. Then my memory was probably cut off for a while. Then all I could remember is LEAP camp group outing!

That day itself, met my classmates at VivoCity where we watched "The Thing". Scream like some insane person. Gah! Haha photo bombed below.

As I am in a fun class, we often hang out after school. Basket ball, KBox and Pool sessions are probably the most common thing to us.

On the 7^th November we headed to the Barrage for some sun and fun. My sister were also there with her friends.

Last Monday, my class and I head over to the Bukit Batok Nature Park for a photo taking session that we needed for our assignment.

I apologize for the content-less blog post. There's just too many things to blog about which made me far too lazy to do so. Probably do a proper blog post when school holiday starts. Haha.

Class Clique Barbecue

2011-10-16T17:06:00.004+08:00

What was intended to be a class barbecue turned out to be a clique barbecue since so little people attended. But who cares, I had fun. We had lots of yummy food and played some real ridiculous games. Once again grabbed all the photos from Cong Han's Facebook profile since I've been extremely lazy to bring my camera out now a days.

So most of them came over from STAR. Spent half the time talking about some chiobu they met there. Jun Yao and Nicholas can't stay overnight, so the four of us were left barbecuing and talking rubbish all night long. We also did light painting! :D

We then cabbed home in the morning. I think I slept in the cab with my mouth opened. Oops!

Some of my most awesome friends. Thank you for the awesome night.

Leap Foundation Camp

2011-10-10T18:02:00.010+08:00

Hello people, I'm back from my LEAP camp at Kota Tinggi, Malaysia. It was great great fun! Met some really great friends. If I have a choice, I would definitely do it again. BUT! I would definitely remind myself to put on insect repellent on the last night if time rewinds!

So our camp is situated at Kota Rain Forest Resort and no, I didn't bring camera, so all the photos here belongs to Cong Han and Jacqueline respectively. I'm just grabbing them from Facebook. The first photo on this post is where we're up on the summit of Gunung Panti, I'll get to that later.

Here we are just arrived at the resort after around two hour of bus ride from Singapore Polytechnic. Grabbing all our barang barang to the reception then our trainer briefed us on what to do next then off we go! Then we have to cross this long bridge over to our tents to put our stuff. It's actually not that scary, until someone shakes it real hard. But then again, I love roller coasters so this is really nothing.

This is my and my group mates during lunch. Hilmi's not in it cause he went to the washroom, I think. But no worries, we took more group photos later. First day so bonded already. Then we had some ice breaker games, domino game and tug-o-war. The games really bonded my group. Looking at how much effort and commitment my teammates put in to help the group win the game really touched me.

Second day was more mini games and supposedly Kayaking, but unfortunately it rained. Then we had wet weather programming. Ring toss, but it really exhaust me. Then we headed for Firefly cruise. It was beautiful. Since it's raining, it wasn't a lot of fireflies, but still very beautiful. The trees are lighted up like Christmas trees. When the fireflies fly, it took my breath away. View was spectacular.

Next day, went for the trek up Gunung Panti. Photo above, we are preparing for the trek, packing our lunch into our bag. Thanks to my stupid shoe, I fell down numerous times (Justification). But still, managed to conquer it with only a bruise. Got no leeches. While coming back down, it started to rain heavily. The mountain became like a waterfall. My shoe became brown. Threw my shoe away that day.

Gala Night was awesome. Since it's raining, there's no camp fire, but still as fun. Each group also get to act a day of the camp. Fun! SHIM night was awesome too. Too bad no photos can be posted. What a waste you ain't there. But I think DMIT FOC's SHIM night is more intense.

Quickly and surely, the four days three nights camp came to an end. Definitely don't regret joining it. It's not just fun, it's also inspiring. Great experience. I shall end the post with some group photos. Until next time, bye.

Class Chalet

2011-10-04T13:19:00.010+08:00

Firstly, I would like to apologize to the classmates whom helped me with my assignment which I still reprimand about in my previous post. Who am I to talk about trust when I don't even trust that they wouldn't do this to me? I'm such a loser seriously. Listen to a bitch harp about my classmates betraying me which I should have known they wouldn't.

Alright, either way, I had a class outing last week. Thought I should blog about it before I leave for LEAP camp otherwise the posts will start to snowball. But to be honest, I'm kind of lazy to blog. Currently using the desktop at my dad's office. So not used to using an external keyboard, I kind of keep having typos. Maybe also cause my nails are getting pretty long. So let's get started.

I'm trying to remember what really happened while I scroll through the photos on facebook. Boy, is my memory deteriorating! I remember training down to Pasir Ris with Jie Xiang then meeting Din at the station. Afterwards, we walked over to our chalet. Yes, walk. But to be honest, it's not really very far, so oh well.

Took the keys, slacked and slowly the rest start coming. Cong Han asked if he should bring the sound system over and if we want karaoke, we said yes and so he brought a luggage full of technical equipment ranging from huge ass speakers, sound system and lots of different wires. Kudos dude!

We even have microphones then the boys used the microphone like they are hosting some variety show. It was so hilariously cute! So shortly after the rest arrived, a few of them went to buy dinner. We had CHICKEN RICE! Not the $1.50 one lorh, it's twice it's price. Laughs.

Then we start playing some usual group games, ranging from MRT, Heart Attack, 请你跟我这样做 and card games, great fun really. After we're quite done playing, we started watching movies. We watched "Hello Strangers" first then after which "LaDaLand" which I didn't watch cause I joined Cong Han and Jun Yao to FairPrice to get some drink and they went to he arcade.

After we're back, more games, more shows, and then I forgot what happened. I'm sure I'm not asleep but I don't remember what happened. I think we watched some YouTube video here and there, then it's morning already. Took a nap and it's 12 already. Woke up, wash up, over to Downtown East to buy lunch.

After which, the boys started searching horror shows to watch. Seriously why horror? I hate things to suddenly jump up and scare me. I'm not scared of roller coasters or bungee jump or such, instead I like it. Maybe I'm just afraid of humans with white face and tomato sauce all over their face.

Blah blah blah, then we went over to FairPrice to buy barbecue food. Then those potential house husbands go and marinate food. (Any girls looking for good boyfriends? ;D). Fire is then started. I'm like there to 越帮越忙 (cause trouble). All I can do is eat. And to be honest, the food is awesome! And the kid near by (named William) even come by and play, which made my classmates really excited.

That night, pretty much chat and play it through. Quickly, the chalet ended. It was so much fun and blogging now really made me miss it a lot. But ain't a lot of people attended this one, don't know why, unable to contact some of them. As much as I want to get over my Polytechnic education quickly, I think I'm going to miss some of them..

Greetings and welcome. I want to play a game...

Trust

2011-09-26T13:35:00.005+08:00

How much trust did you have for friends you know for 6 months? How much do you have for your classmates? Today, I went to school to clarify some things with my lecturer about my Java assignment. She insisted I copied. But fact is I completed my assignment by asking this few boys from my class.

Despite not being able to change my marks and getting scolded by my lecturer, I never regretted going for the appointment today. Why? She told me, these few boys told her I forced them to show me their codes. When I only asked them for help. I'm not upset about her thinking that I copied but for my friends to say that.

Just because you are afraid that the lecturer penalized you, you said I forced you to let me copy? Is that even a fact, you know it inside you. Why am I so disappointed in them when they are only people I know for 6 months? What a wake up call to not trust people around you.

I wished I could go back to my secondary school life where you can simply trust someone with no strings attached. You guys showed me the ugly side of humanity, you taught me to guard yourself against everyone. I don't know why I'm so hurt by their move. You could have tell me you don't want to teach me, that's all.

Polytechnic? It's just the start. I'm sick and tired of it already. I'm really exhausted. Please, just take your masks off. I'm surprised how after you told the lecturer all that, you all can still talk to me like nothing happened, like I will never find out. I was wrong. It's not that I don't want to fit in. I can't, I really can't.

Update: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blamed them. It's my fault.

Taiwan Trip

2011-09-14T23:38:00.002+08:00

After ages and ages of procrastination I finally decided to finish blogging about my Taiwan trip which is week ago. Well, it took so long because blogger thought it's a good idea to keep giving me errors when I post photos and limit to 5 photos per upload. Grrr!

Let me start with travelling to Changi Airport. Since only 3 of us are travelling (My sister, my forth aunt and I), we decided to train over since my parents are working and didn't want to trouble them. I don't know why, we always get the stares in the train as if we did something wrong or there's a bomb in our luggage. Laughs.

Since the train station is at Terminal 2 and our flight is at Terminal 3, we have to take the skytrain over. It's the first time on the skytrain in years! Gosh! Nice control station view in from the skytrain. Off for our breakfast!!

Since our flight is at 12.20 pm, we're there early and we haven't had our breakfast, we decided to grab some early munchy at Ya Kun Kaya Toast with yummillicious bread and bitter coffee. Nice way to start a day! As each of us got a combo, we didn't manage to finish the entire thing. Next, after pestering them, we took off to the Butterfly Garden.

Butterfly Garden is a small room beside Cheers in Terminal 3 where they have loads of butterflies! It's so pretty! Then, I realized something. My sister is basically afraid of anything that moves. She screamed so loudly when butterflies fly around, so loud, that a huge group of butterflies fly away from where they rest. Oh, and that thing I was pointing at in one of photo is a butterfly that handed on my elbow. εїз

After roaming around Changi Airport, finally it's time to board the plane and we have to fill in this declaration and off we go!! We took a 5 hour flight there and 2 hour long bus ride and we finally reach our hotel where my aunt is a gold member of we manage to get a high level room and complimentary drinks.

Our hotel is W Hotels Taipei. They have great service. And awesome food, but I'll get to that later... The hotel receptionist briefly showed us around the hotel then we went up to our room. Our hotel is right smack above, bus interchange, train station and a mall completed with a departmental store.

Our hotel has great features like iPhone docks which is good since all of us are using iPhone. Complimentary macaroons are given and the place is gorgeous. Oh! And they even have automated toilet that we see in Japan too. But they have more buttons that that I saw from Japan considering my Japan trip was last year and technology change so fast. But!! Japan have automated toilet even in malls and public places but in Taiwan, only in our hotel room.

Since we haven't had our dinner, we decided to head do to the famous Shilin Night Market for some authentic Taiwan snacks.

Our first metro ride in Taiwan!! Look at the people behind us, they are queuing in two straight lines. So unlike Singapore train stations where people just squeeze in like if they miss the train they will never ever get home. Trains there are also very frequent and we will always still get a bit of private space no natter how busy or peak hour it is. No need to smell people's armpits! Oh! And the purple coin you see from the photo is their one way pass for the train. You basically tap when you go in, and throw the coin in their coin slot when you get out, it fascinated me for almost an hour.

Down at Shilin Night Market (士林夜市), there were many many people. A little like Singapore's Bugis street, but larger scale. Wider road, more people, more stalls and we are literally walking on car road. And something real cute! You can actually cross diagonally in cross junctions! Just when I was wondering why can't you cross diagonally in cross junctions in Singapore.

Singapore's Night Market (Pasar Malam) is basically nothing compared to Taiwan's Night Market. You find awesome Taiwan Snacks almost everywhere. But you also smell Stinky Tofu everywhere. Damn, it was bad. It literally smell like stool that has been there for a year. Gosh, my nose feels like it's falling off!

Just a note, if you're there, look where you're going. Lots of motorcycles zooming past despite the cluster of people. And! People dragging their stalls on wheels moving around. It's just so fun to watch.

Some of the must try food in Taiwan is definately their Fried chicken steak (炸雞排) and Oyster vermicelli (蚵仔麵線). Well, their Oyster omelet (蚵仔煎) is quite famous too but ain't as nice as I expected it to be. But the others really lived to to their name! Especially their fried chicken steak! Must try 碳烤雞排! It's really really good! I'm hungry already. ):

After having great snacks, we headed back to our hotel at 11 or so. Look what they have at their train station?! CUTE!! (inappropriate use of vocabulary).

Since we arrived to our Hotel at night, we didn't get much view, so it the morning, I'm surprised at how it looks outside the window and how high I am. But, it's really hazy there so you can't really see much.

On the second day, we headed to Ximending (西門町) which is also a very famous shopping district in Taiwan. There's really nothing that caught my eye. Their fashion mostly layered or over sized Tee. Look how huge their KFC is!! And I bought a cup of 四季春 which basically mean four seasons of summer. It's pretty good!

We got ourselves unlimited metro one day pass too. Good for tourist like us. Singapore needs too have this too.

Since our hotel is pretty near Taipei 101, (2 blocks down), we decided to walk over. Nothing much there, really. Actually wanted to go up for some view but it's really not worth the price and considering how hazy it is there, it's really not much to see. Thus, we headed back to our hotel.

Before we head back to our Hotel room, we headed to Cold Stone Creamery downstairs to have some Cookie Overload. Yummy!! That night we headed over to Shida Night Market (師大路夜市) to have some more Taiwan Snacks and shopping for clothes. But, I'm too lazy to carry my heavy-ass camera around so I left it in the hotel so no photos for that.

Headed to Kaohsiung (高雄) which is the southern part of Taiwan the next day. We took the High Speed Rail (高鐵), shorten HSR over. The trip is around 2 hour or so and we get to eat up there! But I spent most of the time sleeping, cause it's so tiring to travelling around gosh!! We trained over to Central Park (中央公園) which contains one of their largest shopping district there which stretches all the way to Shanduo Shopping District (三多商圈) which is a train station away.

Since there's nothing much there, we headed to Dreamland, one of the shopping malls there which has a huge Ferris wheel. Ain't much there though, besides, we're rushing to catch the HSR back to Taipei. Thus, we only had our lunch there, bought some gifts and off we go.

On our last night in Taipei, we head back to Shilin Night Market after my aunt realized that we missed a whole chunk of the place. There we satisfy our last cravings of Taiwan Snacks. ): ): But the size of our tummy is just this big and ain't enough space to fill much stuff. Left for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 11am on a taxi and flew back to Singapore. (P/s. LOOK AT THE GENEROUS AMOUNT OF MANGOES THEY GAVE ME!!)

Overall a really good trip and definitely want to be back again. So many places I want to be in, so many food I want to eat, so little time. ): For more pictures, click here. Until the next post, see ya!!

When you're reading this post, chances are, I'm in the plane or not in Singapore for the moment. But that's besides the point. The main point of this post is to share about the amazing day I had with Chun Jia, Xuan Kai, Felicia, Kayee, Qi Shan and Mavis. Life's great to have friends like them.

There they gave me the best birthday present that I have received in a very long time.

This. I know I look weird in this photo, then again the main point of the photo is the thing I'm holding. Super duper touched by their birthday gift. Love you guys soooooo much!

Chun Jia treated me Takoyaki! :D Super yummy can?! <3 Want photos of food? After editing the photos, I feel hungry again. Gosh!! (P/s. There are photos of non-halal food, sorry if it offended you.)

Nom! I'm hungry already. Kay, all it all. Awesome day with them, though the sore legs. I love them really. Hope to go out with them soon. I'm blessed to have lovely friends like them, really.

Five Facts

2011-08-28T12:42:00.009+08:00

Hello earthlings. I've been very lazy. Cause school holidays started. My neck currently hurts

very badly. I don't know why either. As promised, facts about me coming up. But I don't think I can come up with 100. We'll do five first in this post. Let's start we some birth defects. I'm born with a lot.

1. I have this huge bald patch at the left of my temple. Let me switch on my webcam and try to capture it for you. I'm born like that. Sigh. But many didn't noticed despite knowing me for years. Which is a good[?] thing?

2. Birth marks. I have two. One one front of my right thigh used shaped like a dog paw, another at the back of my right thigh shaped like the map of Malaysia, horizontal. But it seems to change shape as I grow fatter. Laughs. I just taken a photo of it with my phone. I swear it looks super awkward when I take it. Luckily my maid didn't suddenly come out. It's badly focus, but how can I take a proper photo curled up in such an weird position?!

3. There's a huge bump on my middle finger on the right hand cause of writing too much, too hard. Too much 习字 already! I try scrapping it off numerous times, but I can't mostly end up cutting myself only. See the difference?!

4. I can bend my left thumb 180° backwards but my right thumb can, so my thumbs up looks a little weird on my left thumb.

5. My fourth toe look exceptionally short. My toe on the right leg looks okay, but the left side... sigh. I don't know how to explain. It's awkwardly short. Ignore my bad pedicure.

Righty, I'm done with five physical facts you most likely wouldn't know about me. I shall do more next time if I'm not lazy. Laughs. More post coming up! :D

Minor Update

2011-08-23T13:48:00.008+08:00

Hi, I'm back with loads of photos. Actually, not that much. Smile is the same in every photo. Been kind of stress lately due to examinations period. Also, by my dad and his mentality. How he have changed. From the guy I loved with all my heart, whom I respected to no end. Maybe then, I was too young to see his flaws. But at the end of the day, he's still my dad, what can I say?

Brother has apparently left for National Service at Tekong. Sighs, so the heavy burden of doing everything that my parents are lazy to do is on me. Talking about my brother, not many people know who is he right? He's actually 4 years older than me. Oldest in the family and the only son of my parents. Therefore much responsibility of the family is on him. He's sometimes very sarcastic and irritating. But when you are really in trouble or anything bad, he would be there to help. Not the best brother in the world, but the best I ever had (sings to Drake's song).

The above photo is from this year's reunion dinner at Sentosa's Seafood republic. My brother sometimes do Stand Up comedy at Clarke Quay as a hobby. But as he went to enlist, he wouldn't be able to do it for the next two years. I, personally haven't been to any of his stand up, but here's a video of him doing it. Click here to thumbs up this video on his facebook!! Give him some moral support ley! :D

Below are some photos of us going to Yii Mei's house to surprise her on her birthday, 16 August, in the middle of the night. That basically explains why there is only four of us and why the birthday song is so whisper-ish.

https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150261099443822&comments&set=t.1578886128&type=1

Here's a link to the video of the birthday celebration. I'm not sure if it's limited to the birthday girl's friends only, since I am unable to download it and embed, but you can try! (:

Hope she enjoyed it. I remember my eyes feeling as heavy as a (insert heavy object). Considering I'm one paper away from freedom, I would miss waking up to school every morning (not really). I would miss some of them though, really. Some random webcam photos from all over the place. I'm in love with my webcam ever since I've attended polytechnic.

I basically think that I did badly for my last two papers. So, I shall go do some last minute revision on my Social Media Marketing module before I flunk that too. Bye.

School Rant

2011-08-20T15:25:00.005+08:00

Freedom, here I come. After two more papers that I have more confidence in, I'm going to get 6 weeks of freedom. Freedom comes with departure. I mean, I'm so going to miss some lecturers. They've been asking me what happen to me after reading my Facebook statuses (Stalkin' :B). Yeah, they are those who cared. Those who are willing to sacrifice their time just for me to do better in my module.

Above, Ms Lee is one of them, and Mr Tang. This sounds awkward considering I always call them Hwee Theng and Alvin respectively. Some people think that it's not respectful to call lecturers by their name, but truth is, I respect them more than I respect those that I refer with Ms/Mdm/Mrs/Mr.

Many people say that Polytechnic teacher's can't be bothered about their students. That's not totally false. I mean, yeah there's good teachers, but there are also those that only care about themselves and their salary. To me, it those foreign teacher's. Sorry to stereotype, but this is how I'm been treated by them. Don't even taking the time to give your students time to state their stand? Sorry, I don't respect you at all.

This is getting very rant-y. I've been rotting at home surfing the net like a couch potato for the past week. Cause no one call me go out lah!!! ): Kayluh, I don't siao already. Goodbye.

KBox Party Room

2011-08-14T19:19:00.007+08:00

I'm tired. Came home 6 .30 am in the morning today and woke up around 4 pm just now. I spent the entire night with Lee Rong, Darrell, Xiang Qi, her boyfriend and Elton.

Darrell, Lee Rong and I went early, so we sat at McDonald's and start chatting. We chatted about our polytechnic life. Seems like my class is quite normal. If you understand what I'm saying. So at around 12:30 am, we walked over to Jurong Safra. Then we start playing pool until Elton comes over after his movie.

Nothing much I guess, left Safra at 4:00 am then went to Jurong Central Park for supper? They had family box. :)

Huge. Shorty, Xiang Qi and her boyfriend left and the rest of us engage our self with a webcam session. (:

Then Elton left while I wait for the with the rest of them for the train to start so they can go home. Just look at how tired they are! Hahaha.

Kay, this post is so lack of words. I don't know what to say. More photos at the link below. Going to school for optional maths lesson tomorrow. (:

Doubtful

2011-08-12T14:04:00.003+08:00

In serious consideration if I I'm even supposed to be in Polytechnic. It seems to me and me only that is unable to cope with all these. I cry almost everyday. About school. Throw tantrums, at my family because of all the additional responsibility that they passed on to me because they didn't know about me being unable to cope with my polytechnic life.

There's really just so much I can take as a person. Yesterday, my brother told me "everybody wants to be accepted". Am I doing everything just to get myself accepted as a good daughter, a good sister, a good friend, even a good classmate (in that case, class rep)? I do I desire all that? Or after all the cliques and group of friends, did I not realised that I am one that nobody cares about.

In a group of friends, there are people that everyone cares about, the are people that makes the group meaningful, but why am I always the one that wouldn't cause any problem if I don't exist? After times and times of brushing such thought away, it keep haunting me.

I'm not emo or anything. Just upset by the fact that I would never be good enough. Never. I never do well in any role I am entrusted to. Am I brought to earth to cause problems for others or to waste earth resources? Why did god even made the decision for me to exist at all? Must be a mistake.

Maybe, I'm not supposed to be brought to live at all.

My Past

2011-08-11T09:28:00.011+08:00

If you are here, the probability of you knowing me inside out is quite minimal. I mean, I believe only 2/3 people in this world know me at all. Well, I think it's whether you want to know that's all. I doubt anyone want to hear my dull and boring about the last years of my life. So you can skip this.

Kay, what sparked me to write this post. Yesterday I was surfing Facebook, (Yes, not studying) and I decided that it was clever (was not) to surf through all 4,356 photo tags of me. At the same time, I was obsessed with "MP魔幻力量 - 放了自己" so I was looping it while browsing through the photos. Mostly about my pathetic secondary school life that I pretty much regret to no end.

My secondary 3 life I think. Not much of a clique but we just decided to take photo together. I remember that day we were playing Mahjong with the elderly and I won multiple rounds! The second from the left is Shu Hui. She was close to me since Secondary 2 if I'm not wrong. Then we quarreled because of I don now what reason. Then we drifted apart and she became close to the Vietnamese and Chinese classmate and me, became friends with...

them. Then we quarreled. Because some one fine day I also don't know what happened. Lots of back stabbing and drama mama. Since then, I had lesser girl friends and more guy friends.

Secondary school life was a good time. Who would have forgot talking none stop at the back of the class, getting chased out of class for laughing too loud. Walking out of the class because I am unhappy with the teacher. Hurling vulgarities to the teacher and telling her that the person whom spitted on her was my idol. Okay, after reading all those, let me emphasis, I am not an ahlian, I am just rebellious.

Oh yeah, and the huge fight I had with this guy. Friends, quarrel, friends, quarrel. Hopefully this cycle had stopped. Hopefully.

I am not friends with neither of them on the above anymore. What a pity. But what past is past. Everyone has moved on. I mean, I don't even know what happened, I mean it like happened too fast for me to even know what is going on. One of it is, I suddenly saw him scolding me on his Facebook and Blog for I don't know what reason. Maybe after he know I had a crush on him and he's scared. But then again, I soon realized it's not a crush but like you like too long, and you got used to it. I told him that, but I don't know what happened luh.

About the other guy, well, it's just that, I don't know how to explain.

BRADAAAAAAAAAA~~~~! That's what they reply when I shouted SISTAAAAA at them. I miss those time where we played our hearts out not caring about what everyone think about us and how our exams would turn out to be.

My dining etiquette course. My sister say I didn't learn much considering the way I eat now is no better. *grins*

Even picking up litter was fun when I'm with them.

We were the loudest in our school. Always the hot topic of our school's staff room for doing ridiculous things and the most worried graduating class cause we never settle down to study, always the last in our cohort.

Well, I don't blame then for worrying, considering only 2 of the 35 managed to go to JC, and around 15 to Polys and the rest, retained or ITE. Some of you may know I am against cliques. Some of you know why, some of you don't. So let's move on, while I tell you why.

Let me introduce you to: SoDaPia. If you have been reading this blog since the very first post, you would have know everything, pretty much. But I doubt anyone cares to do so.

So this is how it happened. I had been with this clique for two months. It had been fun. But it's a had been. How it all started? I don't know. I think it's because of us deciding to go out. If I haven't remember wrongly, it's for me to forget certain things (?).

Time of my life, definitely. But it's over.

Like this dog. ): Cute doggggggggie. Oh well, don't think I didn't move on, I've moved on quite well, to be honest. At least, I'm not stuck in the moment. (If you understand what I'm saying), rich sarcasm there.

Oh yeah, girl, an advice for you. Stop living in your own world and thinking that everyone loves you. You know who you are.

I made it sound like I don't have friends that have been with me through thick or thin. Well, I actually have.

them.

Thanks for being there for be despite me neglecting them when I had a clique. But when it all falls apart, they were there. For years and years to come. I love you.

School Update

2011-08-10T22:29:00.011+08:00

Despite having internet access everywhere I go, I still can't move my lazy fingers to blog. Busy with assignments is one, lazy is two. However my Facebook and Twitter accounts are ever so active. Okay maybe not. Oh, if you already have Google+, do add me there too! Just this second while I am blogging, someone invited me to an event to like "First 100,000 to join the event gets ..." SERIOUSLY! The probability of that to be true is lower than the probability of me being a guy. Well...

Today, my mom told me the doctor was unable to tell my gender when I was in my mom's tummy. She only knows my gender when I'm like out of her tummy. Seriously ain't it obvious that I'm a girl, the doctor's a noob! ): Kay, stop all the bullshit already.

If you have been my friend on Facebook, or following me on Twitter, you would have known that I've been upset about my project, away for cruise, came back, school everyday. My project presentations has always been bad. Mostly having lecturers thinking that it's not enough. But oh well, it's over, so let's not stress about it anymore. Let me show you something.

BOOYAH! Retarded face while presenting for my Social Media Marketing module. Remember the Facebook page that I've been begging all of you to like? Yeah, it't this module. I don't even know who took this photo. ): But this ain't the worst photo of me that day, you just wait for it!

Few days ago it's this dude's birthday. Had a hard time planning his birthday. As a class representative, I guess I wasn't responsible enough. A quarrel was caused and I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for that. I'm only I was clear with that is supposed to be done. I'm so freaking guilty about the whole thing. Sigh. But still hope he enjoyed his day. And Haseena's birthday!! Wanted to celebrate for her, but it's fasting month. Also cannot force them stay back to break fast together. In the end, didn't even sing her a birthday song. Damn guilty. KAY, YOU CAN STOP STARING AT MY TUMMY ON THE PREVIOUS PHOTO. ):

Photo that I took during Rendang cruise and below are some scattered photos of my poly life, enjoy.

Kay I shall come to the end of my blog post. The worst photo of me that I promised you? Yeah, but be mentally prepared. I didn't pose for that. If you are alone and in the middle of the night, you've been warned..

BOOYAH!

Effort

2011-07-21T19:33:00.004+08:00

I need to stop neglecting my blog. School made time fly past. I hate Java a lot though. Oh well, since this is only one semester module, let's just get over it. Do it once, do it good. Has been my motto since 'O' levels. I was thinking about my secondary school friends. Was friendship ever made to last? Not really, no. Oh, and the above photo is taken with some of my classmates. I'm feeling a lot more comfortable in class. I feel that they really care. Sometimes I still do feel left out, but significantly lesser. There is this classmate that I seriously hate and even blocked him on Facebook. But why do I sometimes think that I'm being too mean? But he really piss me off sometimes. I mean he scolds me and my dad. But to think about it, it's been so long. Am I being too petty?

Also, a huge part of me hates doing project work. Why? Cause there is always someone who doesn't do any work. When I tell people about it, they keep telling me to tell the lecturers. But it ain't that easy when the rest of your team mates doesn't want you to. And besides, if you tell the lecturer, you definitely can't be friends with the person anymore right? But I'm really angry about it!

Ms Dora gave me an eraser for my "good" presentation. So cute. But... Sighhhhhhhhhh.

I'm curling in corner in my living room, trying to update my blog and playing a psychologist for animals game. It's fun, but kind of sad. So, the people had been in my house today. Slacked and sang. Didn't did much, really. Kind of sleepy and over engrossed with the game. Blog soon.

Uncomfortable

2011-06-30T21:35:00.001+08:00

Hello earthlings. I'm back to update this abandoned blog. I can't say I'm busy this month but I've been rejecting offers to go out. Why? Cause I'm a lazy girl. My Mid Semester Test has officially ended today. But since my entire Mid Semester Test only test me on two module, it really isn't affecting me much.

I wonder who in this world is still reading my blog. You ought to have nothing better to do with life. Laughs. I do miss my secondary school life really much. Told mum that I don't like poly life. She say I'm simply out of my comfort zone. People are not as simple as those in the secondary school. Is that so?

No, no, no. I DON'T hate them. I DON'T dislike them. I'm just uncomfortable. Well, I do dislike about 2 of them. Giggles. But it's their choice for being rude to me. For stepping on my feet again and again. I don't give a hoot who are you. I don't talk to people I hate, I rather stab myself.

I know who is good to me, who isn't. I'm not blind. I can see what happening clearly. Just because I don't comment, doesn't mean I don't know. I hope I just get over this year quick.

Chun Jia, Xuan Kai and Qi Shan coming to my house tomorrow. Going to take photos. Update tomorrow.

2011-06-05T12:48:00.004+08:00

Hi, earthlings. I am back to blogging after 37 days. Can't really say lots of things happened in my life. But it's a substantial amount to make me change my view of a lot of things. Okay, let's see. I finally understand that what people are saying may not be the truth. I was said to be gullible and too trusting. I started to lie almost everyday.

School is not appealing at all. Truth is, I feel that I don't fit in. I don't expect them to understand me like my friends of secondary school. Then again, everyone has their flaws. They are cliquish, I feel left out. Then when I'm noisy, they ask me to "shut up". When I'm quiet, they say I sad. Yes, I am. How does it feel to be somewhere and feel like you are trying too hard to fit in? It's not their fault, I didn't say it is, it's just me.

Then again, there are some of them that really gets on my nerves. What's with rolling your eyes at me every other day? Bitch, I'm not blind. Besides that, you still try to piss me off with your words. But, then again, dad say's don't bark with dogs. Thus, I stopped talking to her. I'm a good girl.

This got me thinking. If, in a group of friends, I quarrel with a certain someone. Who will the majority side?

Flower Riders

2011-04-23T20:48:00.003+08:00

So, today I had an outing with my Freshman Orientation Camp group. I went to Bedok a little before one then Jorel and Regina are already there. So waited and had a small chat. Then Yun Hao comes along from the cab. He should have told me that he would be on a cab so I can hitch a right since he's living in Pioneer too. Sighs.

Then after quite a long wait, Yong An and Cherie came. Eugene came shortly after that. Thus, we took 196 to Marine Parade. Took to FairPrice Finest to grab some tidbits. Upon checking out, Zai'En arrived in skates. Head for underpass to East Coast Park.

Walked to the nearest bicycle renting shop. Then rented a bicycle for 2 hours at the rate of 7 bucks. Expensive much? Then ride and ride for two hours. Headed back to return the bicycle shop to get my ez-link card back. Then took to McDonald's to sit down, have a cup of coffee and play the "Circle Of Truth". Was completely honest through out the game.

Then headed back to Bedok MRT through 196 again. On the bus, we saw Issac, such coincidental. Laughs. Then took to the train and headed home. Super tiring.

Yesterday, was celebrating the birthday of my classmate named Amirah. Class was good, became class representative. Looking to join Co-Curriculum Activities soon. I need up with lovely people soon. I feel that I've drifted away from my secondary school friends already.

I just e-mail the school a proposal on Chinese Orchestra Camp. Hopefully it's approve. My blog has been lack of words. Laughs. Proper post soon.

Henderson Waves

2011-04-19T22:27:00.005+08:00

I'm back with a boring update. So school has officially started for me. Pretty cool. So let me start with my Sunday session with my girls. We met up at twelve thirty and had lunch at Figs & Olives. Aftermath, trained down to Harbourfront then switch up to bus to Henderson Waves.

Then we snapped a lot of photos with random curious passer bys staring at us. Laughs. After we could not stand the ridiculously hot sun, we bus back to Vivo City to grab a cup of coffee and I had some cake. Trained back to Jurong Point and homed.

I don't really remember my school days. Every day was fun with my classmates. Bonding sessions in the lift means 21 of us squeezing into a lift meant for 20. Life's good.

Sports Day

2011-04-16T23:08:00.006+08:00

Hi earthlings, I'm back with a new group of friend adding to my existing 6 groups of friends. So yesterday went to Sports Day with these lovely people. Met Charis and Pioneer Mall McDonald's Wei Xiang, Jun Sheng and Yue Long came shortly. Then we headed to Jurong West Sports Recreation Centre.

There, Galon met us then we slacked a bit. Took photos, drank two trays of Milo. Then rained. So we went to have our meal at Nihon Mura. Talked rubbish. Ate Galon's first try in cooking. Laughs. Then went home.

Today I went to school to show my juniors the video of SYF rehearsal. Then I went to Jurong Point with Jun Sheng in the rain. Then we went to eat Pepper Lunch. Went to Jurong Safra for pool. Had one hell of a good time. Meeting them again soon!

New Classmates

2011-04-13T17:47:00.005+08:00

People, I'm back. I apologize for the ridiculously rotted blog. I was busy (I need to trash this lame excuse). Okay, school unofficial started for me and the above attached photo is a class photo of my new class CYOT/FT/1B/24. Well, it's actually just half a class. Nine person short.

So on Sunday, I spent my day with Xuan Kai and Yong Xiang. Bought KOI, shopping at Bugis then headed to Singapore Conference Hall to listen to their SYF rehearsal. When home with Boon Lay's CCA bus.

Monday was first day of Freshman Orientation Programme. Met Galon in the morning and went to school together. Brought him to Auditorium Reception Hall. Went back down to Auditorium then met Gerald. Went in to Auditorium and got to know Jia Min and Lorena. After everything headed to Queenstown IKEA for lunch with the three of them. Head back to find Chun Jia then headed home.

Second day of Freshman Orientation Programme, got to know my classmates and personal tutor. Blah blah blah. End of the day headed to Student Hub @ Moberly to play pool with my new classmates. Then end of it, met Chun Jia and Mavis then slack at Mavis. Headed home.

Third day of Freshman Orientation Programme. S.P.I.C.E training was boring. Was chatting with Lee Rong on Messenger the whole time. Then class group chat on Facebook. Was given tins and T-shirt then ended. Headed to find Yong Xiang for lunch. That's pretty much it.

Last day of Freshman Orientation Programme. Went to collect donations for flag day. Got a total of S$188.45. Went to find Chun Jia and Felicia, met Xuan Kai at Jurong Point. Ate a lot of things.

That's it for life now a days. How's yours?

Catch Up

2011-04-07T13:27:00.007+08:00

Hi earthlings, I'm miserably back today. My body is numb, waist down. Stomach and waist hurts so badly. Hair tied back in a ridiculously messy bun and clad in my over sized P.E. attire. My tongue hurts with scalds and cuts. Ulcer on the bottom jaw. You wouldn't want to see how miserable I am now. Unless, well, you hate me so much.

So on Sunday, went out with Xuan Kai. I forgot the reason for doing that. Well haven't seen him or awhile, so yeah. Headed to Jurong Point to grab KFC for lunch. There, I played with my iPhone while Xuan Kai tried to finish as much homework as he can.

After awhile, meet Randal and Eileen. Then we took bus to a Preschool near Boon Lay. There they rehearsal while I stuff myself with Choco Mini and took random shots of them. Everyone had McDonald's Fillet-O-Fish for dinner. I got one even though I didn't perform. Awesome much?

Headed to the blocks in front of the renovating community club. There they performed. Audience lack respect. Emcees and DJ also don't respect them at all. Damn pissed off. After they are done, we wait for bus to bring us back. Then walked home with Xuan Kai. Day's done.

On Monday, went to school with Xiang Qi as she want to try appealing to Singapore Polytechnic. After which, went to Clementi to buy KOI. Head back to Jurong Point. Had a small walk. Saw Ka Yee. Walked a bit more then headed home.

Yesterday was Mawaddah's Birthday. So headed to West Coast Park with Jasmin, Hayati and Sock Ghim. Took bus 30. Missed the stop went down, took cab. There, went to McDonald's ate a bit. Saw Jason there. Laughs. Then went to playground. Shorty, the birthday girl and the rest arrived.

Slacked, fly kite, talked, danced, cut cake. Rained, walk in rain, drank hot chocolate. Trained home.

Freshman Orientation Camp

2011-04-03T23:45:00.006+08:00

Hey earthlings. I haven't been blogging for a good two weeks and have disappeared from the earth surface for four days. How's life without me? Laughs. So due to my ridiculously bad memory since the end of 'O' levels, I completely forgot what have I done last week and thus I shall start blogging from this week.

On Monday, I headed down to school to get my laptop configured with Chun Jia and Felicia. As Felicia and I already bought a laptop so we went out for our configuration. Thus we start configuring. Felicia was laughing at me cause she only has three softwares to install, while I have seven. So logically I'm going to longer to install than her considering the three softwares she has to install is also similar few to mine. But not logically my laptop decides to install faster than hers. Got me laughing like how she used to laugh at me.

In the midst of waiting for our laptop to finish configuring, we decided to video call Chun Jia that had finish buying her laptop and configuration, and Ka Yee that came to find us. So after configuring my laptop, I went downstairs to meet them. Then waited for Felicia to finish her configuration. Then they went home and I stayed in school and wait for my camp briefing.

At camp briefing, got to play multiple games, did multiple forfeits, held multiple hands of strangers. Then that's it. Rushed to Boon Lay Secondary to get my 'O' level certificate. Then went home. I remember going out on Tuesday, but I don't remember nuts about it so I shall skip that.

On Wednesday went to camp. I shall not talk much about the camp since it will take me three days three night to blog about it. To round up the camp, awesome seniors, one bitch, one gross guy, minimal bath time, awesome night walk. Best thing about the camp is we wake up around nine or twelve. Awesome much?

Half of today was rotting at home. Then Xuan Kai got online, so I was whining to him about being so bored at home. He then ask me if I want to go recording with him. Of course I jump at it since it's a billion times more entertaining than rotting at home.

So I met Xuan Kai at Buzz slightly after two as I was late. Then we trained to Jurong East. Then, it was raining heavily. Xuan Kai didn't know exactly where is it so we ended up walking one big round under his People's Action Party umbrella. I didn't know he support them so much.

Then we finally arrived. There is the audio technician and producer. Both are friendly and welcoming. One of them even mistake me for being Xuan Kai's sister. Third person to think that way. Seriously, we're not a like at all. After that, I sat there for five hours and listen to him record.

I was nearing to falling asleep, then finally we are done. Then we walked to Chinese Garden and trained back to Jurong Point. There we ate KFC and shortly after, headed home.

Overall it was a good experience to know how recording a CD is like. Now I'll appreciate music even more.

Chinese Orchestra Camp

2011-03-19T20:35:00.003+08:00

Hi, I'm back to my blog again. I kind of waste the whole day today. What I did the whole day? Slack at Chinese Orchestra and then rot at home. What have this holiday made of me. Constant body ache and thinking of useless things. Well, this didn't seem like my normal "what-happened-today" posts right?

Maybe I'm just too tired. I'm going busy myself with school related things soon. What's the deal. Mathematics Preparatory Programme, Laptop Configuration and Digital Media Information Technology School Camp.

Oh my god, what's wrong with me today? Perhaps too much time with nothing to do makes me thinks about nonsensical things. But I've got to admit, hectic lifestyle made me not to think about trashy things that once happened in my life, my constant whines.

I shall stop whining here. This is just so unusual. Someday I'll figure this out, some day.

Botanic Gardens

2011-03-18T19:53:00.004+08:00

Hi, I'm back from some major sun tanning again. I'm becoming super tanned now a days and from my previous posts you should have known why. Today I had another picnic session, but this time with my primary school friends.

I walked to Jurong Point again. Adult fare, remember? So I walk there thinking I was late. But, I was first there. All of them are late. So we walked over to FairPrice Xtra to grab some food to eat there. Headed over to the bus interchange to get bus 174 and bused to Botanic Garden.

Upon arrival, found a empty patch of grass and set our mat. There we had the snacks we brought. Eating, drinking and chatting. In between those conversations, I realized how much I've forgotten about primary school.

After three hours of slacking, we headed over to Shi En's house. There we played with her kittens and watch her use the computer. Heh. Overall, day was awesome but tiring.

Hang Out

2011-03-17T20:50:00.003+08:00

I don't know how to start this post at all. I've been getting a lot of sun lately. Today I went kite flying (again) with the Chinese Orchestra people. We met at Buzz at ten. I was late cause I walked to Jurong Point. This was a due to the adult fare that I've been badly affected by.

When I reach there, I see Zi Quan whom is desperately trying to contact Xuan Kai. So, I took out my phone and called Xuan Kai's house. Apparently he has just woken up. Then, we saw Ka Yee and we took off to FairPrice Xtra. There we bought a kite, met Qi Shan. Head to Jurong Central Park.

There, Xuan Kai came. We started flying the kites. I had a hard time trying to get it up. An uncle flying kite nearby cam to help me. Thanks! Then soon, it started to rain. Headed to Jurong Point for shelter and Chun Jia went to work. We headed to Lai Lai Kitchen for lunch. Then we headed to Xuan Kai's house.

At Xuan Kai's house, Xuan Kai uses his laptop while the rest of us watched the television laughing at ridiculous acts of shame. Laughs. Then we headed downstairs to play table tennis and badminton. It was awfully fun and tiring. Headed back up and into Xuan Kai's bed room to slack, chat and play. Awesome time I had.

Haw Par Villa

2011-03-16T22:58:00.003+08:00

Today I went to Haw Par Villa with Queeness, Elton and Lee Rong today. Meet the boys slightly after ten today. Then as usual, Queeness would be late. Apparently after my morning call for her, she haven't woken. So we went to Toast Box and have breakfast. There, Mavis was working. She went in and out a few times before she saw us. Well, she saw me first, then saw Elton. She was so shocked, she gasped.

So Queeness came so we took bus 30 to Haw Par Villa. It was a forty five minutes bus ride. Upon reaching Haw Par Villa. The place was exceptionally quiet. It's not like how I remembered a few years ago where all the exhibits were filled with both tourist and locals. Now it's just a very quiet park. I remember seeing all the statues in the old photo albums when I was a little less than seven. Memories started seeping in.

We went in the "Ten Courts Of Hell" exhibits, coming out paranoid of doing too much sin and suffer in hell. Laughs. The exhibits are poorly maintained and insects are every where. I hope the government could invest more on the place. Lee Rong was basically our tour guide explaining the story behind the statues. He said he read them on comics. I would just listen to him tell the story.

After touring just half of the place, we decided to head to Vivo City for our lunch. We had Greenhouse Café at $10.90. The boss was kind enough not to charge service charge and GST from us. Laughs. After which we went and walk around a bit and Darrell came to join us after his movie with his friends.

We went over to grab some 贡茶 as usual then we head over to Orchard to find Susy. After that, we headed for bus 190 and bused to Lot 1. I will never forget that bus ride. Crazy bus driver, cheap skate commuter, squeeze like sardines. What an experience. Arrived at Lot 1, Elton and Susy went to grab KFC while the rest of us went to Lee Rong's house as he need to bring his brother home from the bus of the child care.

Queeness played tutor to the cute boy and torture him with mathematics. Laughs. Thinking him multiplication of nine, finishing half a year of book in half an hour. Kudos. After which, we went to Lot 1's Food Junction to have dinner and shortly, we headed home. Today was fun, but tiring. Planning next outing with the people soon!

2E6 Class Outing

2011-03-14T18:32:00.003+08:00

Today, I went to get roasted again.This time at Marina Barrage. Met the people bright and early. A bit after ten at Boon Lay MRT platform. Then we trained to Marina Bay and took bus 400 to Marina Barrage. We started to try to fly the kite. I failed umpteen times till the point I don't bother to try anymore.

After tossing the kite on the mat, Lim Kang and En Zhan picked it up and started flying it. Apparently that are able to get it up in the sky while I fidget under the hot and scorching sun, applying thick layers of sunblock.

Slowly but surely, the dark clouds came and rain started. We flee for shelter and hid at the Gallery Café at the second story. There we had our lunch. The service time is ridiculously slow, so we spent the time chatting.

So there goes our outing, next outing shall be in April 6!

People, I'm just back from a exhausting day with a the lovelies. Morning, I went to Boon Lay Secondary Chinese Orchestra. At about ten in the morning. Apparently they were having combined practice and the time I arrived is just the time they were split to sectional practice.

So in sectional practice, I was busy chatting with my juniors and snapping photos of them. Despite efforts of dodging the camera, many photos are taken of them. I over hear them wanting to bring camera to take photos of me for revenge next week. So after their practice, I headed over to Jurong Point to meet Queeness.

She's late, so I headed to Toast Box for my breakfast. Yes, I'm alone. Oh well, had a great time watching Chun Jia work anyway. After that, headed back to Buzz where I continued waiting for Queeness to come. There, I became a smiling machine, smiling at people I know that walked pass.

Soon enough Queeness arrived. Then we went walking around while waiting for Dilip to come. Upon his arrival, headed to the train station and trained to Harbourfront. There we met Edy. We walked to VivoCity. At VivoCity we had some food then headed for the monorail and trained to the Beach Station. At Beach Station, we walked to Palawan Beach.

Shortly it started to drizzle so took the tram back to Beach Station. There we met Syaril whom is working. Had a small chat with him. Took some photos then we headed to Imbiah Station. There we snapped many photos. After which, we tram to VivoCity then walked to Sentosa Broadwalk to find Miqdad and Zuhri. Had small chats with them. Then had some crepes at Ooh Crepes!

After trained back to Boon Lay, and head over to Gek Poh Shopping Centre. There Dilip headed home first while the rest of us got some bubble tea. After that, Queeness headed home then I walked home with Edy. Then we had an awesome small chat.

I'm glad in life, I have friends like them. Next outing when Natassja is back from Jarkata!

Brother's Birthday

2011-03-11T23:40:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I went out shopping with Chun Jia. We met at Pioneer Mall where she had her lunch. We then talked to Jurong Point, and there we walked aimlessly. We went to Toast Box where she treated me to a cup of iced milo. I then texted Xuan Kai to come around after his lessons. After he arrived, we had dinner at Toast Box (Mavis was the cashier) and then soon, we headed home.

Today is my one and only brother's twenty first birthday. That's a big milestone in life, ain't it? So today, my parents brought the whole family out for dinner at Jurong Point's Dian Xiao Er. I did all the food ordering. As usual the food there was pleasing.

After our meal, we intended to walk around a bit in Jurong Point. I didn't know how my parents ended up in OSIM store. They apparently went and tried out the uDivine. There they sat for nearly two hours. After a very long time, they bought a blue color one at four thousand over dollars.

It was ten o'clock when they are apparently almost done, got some cash from my mom then I rush downstairs with my sister to get a cake. Running almost every where as most bakery closed. Finally bought a blue berry cake in the bakery at the train station.

After which, my brother drove the family home. We started the birthday tradition and sang the birthday song. Took photos and the day ended shortly. Happy Birthday brother!

Get Together

2011-03-06T17:35:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I went to the school for Chinese Orchestra. When I arrived, the guard refused to let me in. Apparently Mr Phua refused entry for ex-students. A pass is required to enter. I was actually pretty pissed of by that, but I understand their reasons for doing so. After begging and annoying the guard, she finally let me in and warning me that this is the only time she'll let me go in without the pass.

After going in, when up to look for my section. When to Commerce Room to get a cello to play with. I didn't cut my nails so it felt a bit uncomfortable to play the cello. Taught the new junior a bit, then got lazy. Then I went to 7-11 to get root beer. Came back, played Cosacks with Jian Sen. Slacked around. At one moment a huge bee came in, everybody screamed and ran out. The scene was chaotic and hilarious.

Soon enough CCA ended and I went to the canteen where I meet Estelle. Together we walked to Jurong Point and had Burger King. Had a little walked around the place then went home. After dinner, went to Jurong Point again with Hong Yu. We met at the bus stop near my house and we bought some books at Harris, bought her bag and reached home a little after ten.

I haven't went out with my friends in a very long time. So, I finally met up with Xuan Kai (whom was busy studying) and Jian Sen (whom was busy working). Looks like I'm the only one free everyday. It's been only a week but we still had so many things to catch up. We were supposed to meet at eleven thirty. I texted Xuan Kai at eleven, after ten minutes of him not replying, I noticed something amiss. I start to spam call him and he picked up the phone upon the fourth call. He just woke up.

At eleven thirty, met Jian Sen at Boon Lay Bus Interchange. We went walking around to look at notebooks. Until a little after twelve, Xuan Kai finally arrived. We ate lunch at Lai Lai Kitchen. Inflation, the price increased, proportion decrease. I threw all my vegetable at Xuan Kai's plate. Laughs.

After lunch, went to get bubble tea then trained to Jurong East and walked over to IMM. We went up to the Garden Plaza to have a little fun. There is this water playground and this little boy likes to snatch everything Xuan Kai is playing with. The scene was just hilarious. We headed down stairs where we went to have a walk in Diaso. Bought a milk tea then trained to Lot 1 Shopper's Mall.

There, had a bit of walked around. Headed home a bit after four thirty. Awesome day. More outing with them, I hope.

2E6 At Sentosa

2011-02-28T20:26:00.004+08:00

Woke up with a cold today. I keep sneezing non-stop through out the day. Headed to Jurong Medical Centre for my X-ray in the morning. After attaining my X-ray, headed for the train to travel to Vivo City.

Headed to Level Three where I took the monorail to Sentosa Island. Alighted at beach station and I walked to Palawan Beach. I then sat there and wait for the rest to arrive. Received a phone call from Mawaddah then walked to the other side of the beach. There, I saw Mawaddah, Miin Wei, Safirah, Yiren, Zhi Ren and Aloysius.

They start off by playing the frisbee and volley ball. Then we started playing in the water. Then Zhi Ren (Emcee Teo) called us out of the water to play "Chicken", the game was hilarious. Our team apparently lost and we have to do the Chicken Dance. Back to the water to swim a bit.

Out of no where, Zhi Ren took some sand and made a mud ball. Then suddenly all the boys start attacking me with mud balls. Bully. It's like three of them boys bully one of me. How is life unfair. After a long time of playing, went to bathe. After bathing headed for KFC lunch.

After our lunch, we headed for Luge and Sky Ride. It's awesome as always, but I do prefer Go-Kart. After which went back to Vivo City through Monorail. Then we slipt, walk around Vivo City a bit and headed back to Boon Lay with Mawaddah.

Great time, next time to underwater world!

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.

We walked to Toast Box to have our lunch. There, I saw Mavis, she didn't saw us so I said "Hi". She was so shocked, she gasped, went speechless, run back into the kitchen nearly knocking a customer. After we finish our lunch, we decided to go somewhere further to walk around.

Walked to the MRT station. At the map, we chose to go to VivoCity since they haven't been there for a while. Boarded the train and chatted. Change the train at Outram Park. Train to Harborfront came, Jian Sen brisk walked in. I quickly followed with Xuan Kai closely behind. My back got stuck in between the doors of the train, Xuan Kai outside.

Suddenly, a SBS Transit uncle came, gave me angry face. I laugh at him and the train went off. Xuan Kai to the next train and we met at Harborfront. He told me that the uncle scolded him. I was so hilarious. Upon reaching VivoCity, we headed straight to grab some 贡茶 to drink.

Our shopping spree than starts. We spend four hours walking around VivoCity none stop. I used to be able to stand eight hour straight. Now, four hours of walking made my leg hurts badly. Must be the lack for exercise. Look, I'm guilty. Around five, we walked back to the train station and back to Boon Lay. We then took two four one to Jurong West Central where we had our dinner.

After our fulfilling dinner, Jian Sen left us. I walked Xuan Kai to the bus stop and waited for the bus with him. After the bus arrived, I walked home. Awesome day today. Xuan Kai shall plan for the next outing.

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 just had an awesome dinner with my family. I went to Jurong Point around eleven thirty to get some photos print for my aunts as one of my aunt have to leave for United States tomorrow morning. I reach home slightly after one as the photo machine was extremely slow which annoys me a lot.

Around two thirty my aunts, uncle, grandmother starts coming in. Food was served. They open four cans of abalone and just eating abalones made me full. Then there was barbecued Stingrays and curry and a lot other food cooked by my beloved mother.

Karaoke in my house. Uncle Paul and third aunt arrived with some Rosy wine. Less fruity that that of I drank in Phuket. Played Monopoly deal with my second aunt and sister. Won a few times.

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.

I am, badly exhausted today. The past two days were a blast as my Aunt and Uncle whom resides in United States are finally back for the holidays. They are leaving in two weeks time, so we got to treasure the time we have.

On Saturday, I headed to Paragon with my sister where we filled our tummy at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Restaurant. There we finally met our Aunts and Uncle. After our fulfilling lunch, we went ahead to go shopping at Metro as all of us had S$100 cash voucher each.

After our, not-so-successful shopping, headed down to Bakerzin. There I had my all so sinful desert box. Complete with an Iced Mocha. Then I felt guilty. Laughs. After which, went to ION Orchard's jewelery street to look for a bracelet to no avail.

Headed home, threw the heels that have been hurting my feet aside. Throw on a FBT shorts and a plain T-shirt with a pair of flip-flops. Made my way to Jurong Point where I met Chun Jia. Did some shopping then headed home.

The next day, met Estelle and Aiman at twelve and we headed over to VivoCity to grab our late lunch. We can't find a suitable place to have our meals and we walk from VivoCity all the way to HarbourFront Centre. After our lunch, walked around VivoCity and grabbed 贡茶. At around five thirty I left them and walked all the way to Sentosa.

At Resort World Sentosa, met up with my family. Walk around the place a bit. It didn't really changed since the last time I've been there. Then headed to Singapore Seafood Republic to have our reunion dinner. After our dinner, went to watch The Crane Dance. After a bit, headed home.

Days were great. More awesome days ahead!

Finally met up with Shi En after like one year and four months. In case some of you didn't know, Shi En is considerably my best friend in my Primary School. Pity we didn't meet up often after Primary School cause she's always so busy! But let's not whine too much since we finally met up didn't we? Laughs.

So we met at Jurong Point at around four in the evening. Then we headed down to Yaki Yaki Bo to have our early dinner. There is where Shi En worked at, so naturally she has a lot of friends there. Food there is awesome but I was still super full from my late lunch.

After which, headed to The Star Factory where Shi En played Jubeat. Seriously why are everybody I know so good in this game? There Shi En saw many of her friends. Then, we walked around Jurong Point then Zone X, then headed home.

Overall, the day started off to be slightly awkward then it turn out better, but like we kind of lack things to do. Next time we'll K-box!

Second post of today. Just came home from a surprise party that I planned for Ms Ang since she's going to leave the school for further studies. So we're apparently her last batch before we left. She's so going to miss me. Laughs. So I reached school at twelve. Outside the school I met Xuan Kai then we went in together.

Inside, was slacking awhile and talking to all my beloved juniors as their lessons end. Took a lot of photos. Blew two balloon then gave up cause I was completely terrified of it bursting at my face. As more and more Literature students came it, we were talking and having fun.

Jessica called Ms Ang to come but Ms Ang apparently wanted to teacher her outside the Staff Room. Queeness told Jessica to tell Ms Ang that she's suffering from a cramp. Jessica felt awful to lie to Ms Ang, but after all, it's a white lie right? Laughs.

The boys were a joy to be with. They always make things so funny! Love them to the max. Laughs. Had talks with so close ones and talk to them about my problems. Then we left and headed to Banquet Food Court where I ate with Edy and Queeness. After which I went home.

Today was awesome. So going to miss Ms Ang!

I just woke up. Yesterday night was an all so busy day. At eleven thirty, I left my parents' office. Headed to Boon Lay Secondary School to meet Xiang Qi. Got oue visitor pass and headed into the General Office. Apparently Mr Giam is talking to a parent so we headed to the Staff Room first and talked to Ms Sandra.

Then headed to General Office, then to Staff Room, then to General Office again. Then went to Art Room to talk to Mr Rahim. Headed to Canteen to talk to Xuan Kai, Chun Jia and Felicia. There I saw Aiman and Estelle had a small chat.

Headed of to Jurong Point's Fig&Olive where we had our scrumptious lunch. Walked around Jurong Point to find gifts and buy cards. Then I went home then headed to Jurong Central to print some photos. It was $0.50 per image. So expensive! Then went home, stuff myself with food (cause I'm late). Then headed down to the Jurong West Sports and Recreation Centre where I first met Estelle. There we did a lot of gossiping.

Then Rafiqah came, she started drawing and we continued gossiping. Suddenly the lights went off and we headed to Pioneer Mall's McDonald's were Rafiqah drew till around ten. Did a bit of slacking then headed home already.

All in all a tiring but awesome day considering how much fun I had gossiping. Laughs.

Last night we had our "Baellowind & Friends Barbecue Party". As seen from the name "Baellowind" comes from the two sections in Chinese Orchestra. Bass, Cello and Woodwind. This plan came out of the blue when we accompanied Xuan Kai to Plaza Singapura to fix his phone. So, it's up to us to execute it.

On Thursday, I went to Fairprice Xtra at Jurong Point to meet Xuan Kai, Felicia and Chun Jia whom already started shopping for food that are supposed to be barbecued. There we bought a trolley full of stuff and then we headed to Xuan Kai's. Then at his house, we started preparing the food. Xuan Kai was so disgusted by the food that he end up in the living room the whole time unless we start screaming for him.

I officially declare Xuan Kai's house not his. He apparently didn't knew where his knifes were and it's all over the place. Also, he found X.O. in almost all the drawers. Then he didn't knew what he had in his house and he growled at the pieces of uncooked food. Literally laughing all the way. Halfway through, Felicia left as she needed to head to somewhere else. So, me and Chun Jia continued preparing the food.

After cleaning up, sat at Xuan Kai's living room and he gave me China Apple Drink and ate the seaweed he bought from Korea. Talk about globalization! Laughs. Then used Xuan Kai's computer and played with his facebook account. Spamming "Hi, Tan Hui Juan is awesome" genre statuses. In the middle of it, Xuan Kai's mother came home. She thought we are Xuan Kai's junior.

Slacked a little more then headed home with Chun Jia. On Sunday, which is the day of the barbecue, headed to Jurong Point a little after three to meet Xuan Kai, Chun Jia, Qi Shan, Felicia, Zi Quan and Ka Yee. Headed to Fairprice Xtra to stock up a bit more then headed to the void deck of Xin Ying's to fetch her. Then the rest went up to Xuan Kai's while Zi Quan and I went to look for Jasmine at the basketball court nearby (NO HOT GUYS! PFFFT).

Then went up to Xuan Kai's where the girls are working on the food. I went around disturbing. Then headed downstairs wanting to start the fire. Jasmine helped at first, then gave up half way. Then Zi Quan came to help, got lazy went away. Xuan Kai came, then went to play with the girls. Ai Theng helped then went to slack. Chun Jia helped, then went away. Then Vilson came, then he and his girlfriend end up helping to start the fire. Finally, the fire started.

Took shift at the chicken wings and started barbecuing. So tiring and hot. My ashes were going up my nostrils and drying up my eyes. Guess I'm too used to being the one eating instead of the one barbecuing. The rest of the time was used to slack, gossip, talk and eat. Then headed home with Ka Yee.

Overall, this outing went off smoothly. Hope to do one of this again soon!

I'm back from my cruise trip two hour ago. Had an awesome time out with my family. Relaxing with the sea breeze calms my nerves. So around five thirty, left my dad's office and traveled to Singapore Cruise Centre. There, my aunts and grandmother are waiting for us and we got our access card and headed into the cruise.

Went into our cabin, threw all our luggage and then headed to Bella Vista to have our dinner there I drank Riesling 2007. It was awesome. Then headed to deck seven's balcony to get some reception. Then headed to Bellini as dad wanted beer. At nine-thirty, headed to The Lido to watch the magic show titled "Philippart & Anja... It's Fun To Be Fooled!". The magic was awesome, though from our angle, saw some loophole in the magic. After which, went back to cabin, came out and have supper at Mediterranean Buffet.

The next day, I woke up at seven to watch sunrise. Was disappointed as the sun was blocked by the clouds. Went back to sleep and wake up at nine again to get our breakfast at Bella Vista. Then I went back to the cabin to bathe. Headed to Galaxy Of The Stars to find my parents whom are engaging themselves with the Jackpot machines.

Headed to lunch at Mediterranean Buffet. Then we headed to The Galaxy Of The Stars, the adults played the Jackpots. I watched the magic show there titled "Close Up Magic: Who's Afraid Of the Big Bad Philippart?". After which went to the cabin to slack a bit then headed to Taverna where dad got beer and I got Ice Mocha. A deck below, at Parthenon Pool was having Barbecue Party. So, after our drink, went down to eat. Then headed to The Galaxy Of The Stars again. Watched them play Jackpot, then got nosy and helped them press the Jackpot a few times.

Headed to Bellini where dad got more beer. After a while, headed back to the cabin to bathe and sleep. Woke up seven thirty in the morning. Bathe and went to Bella Vista to get our breakfast. Back to cabin to pack up, watched Hannah Montanna on television till I fell asleep. Woke up, to disembark the ship and now I'm home.

Come to think about it, it's been seven years since the first time I first boarded the ship and I'm still boarding it time and time again, enjoying every single trip. It's a great place to relax and forget all my worries. Can't wait for my next trip!

I'm back from my four days chalet at Costa Sands (Pasir Ris). Please remember that I'm blogging for four days, so the flow of events might be slightly messed up. So, I met Queeness at 4pm on 4 January. Then we took the train to Pasir Ris MRT where we got a taxi and head over to Costa Sands (Pasir Ris).

Upon reaching the site, I first headed to my 2E6 `08 class chalet which is at unit R-02. There I saw many of my ex-classmates. I remember that year, our class is deemed as the class with the least bond. Look at us now, three years later, we still had a class chalet. Take that! Then I headed to SoDaPia chalet at unit H-08. Apparently I'm going to go both ways since both chalets are going to commence at the same place, same time.

There, I place my bags then walked to Pasir Ris Park with Queeness while waiting for SoDaPias to wake up from their sleep so we could head to Changi Airport to have our dinner. Unfortunately, I missed their calls and texts cause my phone decided it's a good idea to die on me, and I missed the shutter bus. So, I head Downtown East to have dinner at Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen.

After which, headed over to E!hub to have a little walk around. Later, we headed to Aloha Loyang Garden Terrace G where Queeness' boyfriend's class chalet is at. People there are friendly. There I had a few drinks and played a few rounds of "blow wind blow". They did dares that are really funny and awesome. Then I received a text from Veronica that they have reached back to the chalet from Changi Airport so Queeness and her boyfriend walked me back.

Back at my chalet, I heard from Jessica that there are a lot of people in my class chalet so I headed over with Queeness and her boyfriend. There I took some photos then headed back to my chalet. I later had a bath and leave for Downtown East McDonald's with SoDaPia where we had our supper. Then "home" (we called our chalet home) brush teeth and sleep.

Woke up bright and early in the morning cause Jordon had to leave for work. I didn't know the link, but all of us woke up. We took the shutter bus to Downtown East's BURGER KING® where we had breakfast. Veronica and Aloysius had to leave to buy lunch for Veronica's mother. So there leaves Yvonne, Jessica, Damien and I. So we went to E!hub to had a little walk and then FairPrice where we bought some food for the night. Jessica's dad came to pick us up from Downtown East to the chalet and passed us food for the steamboat.

Back at the chalet, Yvonne prepared the food and broth. After awhile I headed to take a little nap and at around four, I headed over to my class chalet. There my fellow 2E6cians and I played the game "杀" where the punishment for losing is to drink a mix of Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Ice Lemon Tea. Personally, I don 't think the drink is bad at all. Now you know I lost a lot of times. Decided to pump up the punishment by adding Twisties and Pringles. Nobody drank that.

Went outside to start the fire. Took some photos then it started to rain. Headed inside for some chat, or should I say gossiping. When the rain stopped the boys decided to for a swim. I am supposed to stay in the chalet and tend the fire. Waited for some one to come back, headed back to SoDaPia's chalet where I took a bath and had some steamboat food. Then I headed back to class chalet to slack a bit.

There, took a lot of photos, ate a lot of hotdogs. The SoDaPias went for a movie at E!hub so I waited for them to come back. While waiting, went to Pasir Ris Park to watch stars with Mawaddah and a few of the boys. At around 3 am received a text from Jessica that they are back so I ran back and took a shower then headed directly to bed.

Woke up 10.30 am on 6 January. Start cleaning up the chalet while waiting for the rest of the SoDaPia to wake up. Then we had steamboat for lunch. Leftovers from yesterday. After our lunch we headed to E!hub for great bumper car ride then ferris wheel. Ran for a shutter bus, went to Far East Plaza to get our nails done then ION Orchard's Lu Gang Xiao Zhen by The Asian Kitchen for our dinner. The food there is absolutely delicious.

Had a little walk around then trained home, head to the bathroom then straight to bed. Woke up the next day morning, ate otahs as breakfast on the floor. Did a bit of clean up then headed home from a ride from Jessica's father. Upon reaching home, transfer photos from memory card to the laptop then headed to school for CCA Open House.

There I had a great time running around. Couldn't be careless about how people thinks of me cause apparently the probability of them seeing me again is pretty low, so who cares! Took some photos then head home.

I'm now at home, really fatigue and going to my bed which I haven't laid on for a very long time. I had awesome days with awesome people.

Today generally had a really busy day. Woke up 5.30 am in the morning where I got ready to meet the SoDaPias at 6.30 am in the Lakeside. Apparently all of them are late. Later I was made known that the all iPhones in the whole Singapore has failed to ring their alarms. This is due to the fact that someone decided it's a good idea to hack and give them all a bug. Made me so annoyed.

So after all of them reached Lakeside, we headed off to Tampines where we had our McDonald's breakfast. Got Jessica to help me order Big Breakfast, she came back with Breakfast Deluxe. Apparently they gave wrong. I wanted to return it but they say there's no need to change it. So I had Breakfast Deluxe for the price of Big Breakfast.

After having a very fulfilling breakfast, we took bus 29 and got to Changi Ferry Terminal. There, we got a bumboat and rode to Pulau Ubin. We rented 6 bicycle. Veronica, Aloysius, Shar and I have one each while Damien and Jessica shared one and Jordon and Yvonne shared another. So we rode around Pulau Ubin. My chain dropped off once. I'm really thankful Damien was there to help me fix it, and he got his hand really dirty.

Halfway through, I lost my way. After cycling around and a few phone calls, finally found the clique. Then soon we headed back to the "town" or the entrance of Pulau Ubin. There, we had some Thailand Coconuts. They were really yummy. Really love it.

Took another bumboat back to mainland, bused back to Tampines Mall. Had 鼎泰豐 (Din Tai Fung) for lunch as treated by Yvonne, Jessica's sister. Was really thankful. After the awesome lunch, headed back to Jurong Point. There, I met a bunch of juniors (some of which I didn't know their names) and Xuan Kai. We took 174 to Bukit Batok Community Centre for Hong Yu's performance with Bukit Batok Chinese Orchestra. Performance titled: 迎春 (Welcome, Spring). Dropped at the wrong stop, ran in the rain, got drenched.

We were late. Hong Yu did great, performance was awesome. After which we headed to West Mall for a small meal and then I headed home while the rest of them stayed at West Mall. Is currently very fatigue and would immediately fall asleep if I were to lay on a bed now.

Looking forward to the next musical performance that I would be attending by Shar.

Happy new year! Spent my entire new year's eve with some awesome Chinese Orchestra people. Yesterday was Chinese Orchestra graduation day. Whereas, all graduating Chinese Orchestra students (like me!) get our tokens of appreciation.

So, I dragged my feet to Boon Lay Secondary School due to the lack of sleep the night before. Reached school slightly after 8 am. Headed over tom AVA room where all the Chinese Orchestra students are at.

Upon reaching the only graduating senior I see is Xuan Kai. Apparently, most graduating seniors are not going to reach until 9 am. So after a little speech from Mr Tan and Wei Jie, we set off to watch "Grown Ups" while waiting for other seniors to come.

Soon, seniors started coming in. Went downstairs to grab a heavy breakfast. Then went back upstairs to slack and take some photos of unsuspecting people. I bet all of them wanted to kill me already. Laughs. Then we continued to take group photo as Charis needed to leave for work.

Then, they showed a video of Chinese Orchestra 2010. After which, they gave out the token of appreciation. I love it. After a little of slacking inside the AVA room, we are released. Sheng Xiong, Zi Quan, Xuan Kai, Chun Jia and I headed then, to Jurong Point as the boys wanted to play Jubeat.

We headed to KFC to get our lunch and soon enough Jian Sen came to join us. We then train to Plaza Singapura, and walked to The Cathy in the heavy rain to bring Xuan Kai's phone to servicing. I shared an umbrella with Zi Quan and I screamed a dozen times into his ears. He's going to be deaf soon. Unfortunately, the service centre was not open. Wasted trip.

Headed home to shower, upload some of the photos then headed to Jurong Point where I met Jian Sen, Chun Jia, Siew Hui, Xuan Kai and Zi Quan. After having an ice cream at McDonald's, walked around Jurong Point awhile then walked to Boon Lay Place.

There, we walked around the night market. Saw Wei Jie, Xiu Ru, Si Ya and Shu Hui at various parts of the night market. Bought some bubbles to play. Reminiscing about my childhood. Soon Ai Theng and Ying Xiu came to join us. After awhile we walked towards to fireworks. Xuan Kai treated us to some salty corn.

Fireworks was awesome, I was screaming like a crazy person. After the countdown is over, we waited for the crowd to ease, we walked to the 7-11 near our school where we got some drinks. After a little of slacking, headed home to bathe then sleep.

I hope all of you have an awesome 2011!

I am currently sitting in a corner of the CO room using my computer whereas everybody else was busy playing their instruments. They are currently practicing very hardworkingly for the up coming SYF (Singapore Youth Festivals) competition. I sure hope they do win Gold, or better still Gold with Honours.

So I reached the school at 8am in the morning, feeling extremely fatigue. Was busy uploading photos last night though I fail to finish uploading everything. I reached the school and the first thing I did is connect the laptop to then internet so that is made possible for me to upload the remaining photos.

Mid way through the combined practice, I went downstairs where I sat to have a chat with Xuan Kai and Wei Jie outside the staffroom. There I saw Ms Lim, Mr Lee and Ms Ang. The sad thing is I didn't manage to get Ms Ang to take a photo with me. She ran away too fast. After which, I went back to CO room where I continue to upload photos.

Soon enough it's sectional practice. Where I continue to sit at the corner to upload more photos. I know, no life. Afterwhich, got Xuan Kai to buy some cup noodles due to the fact that there is no food for the seniors. But when he came back, we realised he didn't got any hot water. So Ka Yee and I walked to 7-11 to get some hot water. I came back and Ka Yee went home.

So soon after sectional practice ended and now I'm here at combined practice, blogging. Typing so loudly, hopeing nobody gets affected by the sound of me typing.

Looking forward to the last day of CO camp!

Had a really great day in Chinese Orchestra camp today. I shouldn't exactly call it a camp since, firstly, there's no overnight. Secondly, it's all practice. I did mention the camp was fun, didn't I? Main reason is due to fact that I've seen some friends that I haven't seen in like forever!

So I met Jia Jing, Chun Jia, Michelle, Sheila and Charis at Pioneer Mall McDonald's. Xuan Kai was supposed to meet us. But it turns out that he was totally not contactable. After our breakfast, we headed to Boon Lay Secondary School for the camp.

Went to my section, sat around. Went to my ex-class. Reminiscence. If I could turn back time, I would change everything. But I can't! So it's time to move on. Aha! Never seen me so optimistic before, right?! I saw Mdm Ang outside the staff room. Immediately without thinking I jumped into her arms. Aw, it was so awesome to hug her. So it was practice for them and playing with my camera for me. I bet I was disrupting everyone with my shutter sound.

After everything, walked to Jurong Point with Ka Yee, Chun Jia, Michelle, Sheila, Vilson, Yong Xiang and Xuan Kai. I nearly forgot to mention that I blinded Yong Xiang by taking photo of his eyes with flash. Laugh till my tummy hurts damn bad.

Went up to Zone X where most of them had their share of Dance Dance Revolution Extreme and Jubeat. Aftermath, we split up and I followed Xuan Kai to KFC where we met Hui Wen, Xin Ying and Siew Hui. Had an awesome chat with them. Did a lot of gossiping.

Headed to Zone X again. Watch them play Dance Dance Revolution Extreme while waiting for beloved Jian Sen to come from his work. Miss him to the max. While walking to Long John Silver to grab our dinner, saw Michelle and Charis and so we decided to eat together.

After dinner, we split ways from Michelle and Charis. Jian Sen, Xuan Kai and I headed to 7-11 to get some drinks and drank it at the Art Park. Then we headed to Xiao Rui's where we watched "童眼" along side with Ai Theng, Pei Qi and Ying Xiu.

I left at 10 pm as I have to reach home before my 10.30 pm curfew. While walking to the bus stop, I met Gregory. Asked him to come to CO camp tomorrow. He say he cannot promise me. I was so upset because of that! Upon boarding the bus, I saw Safirah. Had a small chat with her about life. When I got down from the bus I saw Jasmine (Senior), asked her to come CO camp, she denied me instantly. Sad to the max.

In conclusion, today was a great day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Have been indulging myself with large amount of sinful chocolates these days. Just got home from a Christmas dinner with my maternal family half an hour ago. My tummy is bloated with loads of turkey, chocolates and ham. Talk about gaining weight during the holiday season.

Left home around six where we head to Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore. There I saw many aunts that I haven't seen for an entire year. As usual, they start complimenting about how we've grown.

Started tucking in to all the delicious delicacies. When we got the turkey and honey ham where the chef is there to cut for us, he gave us a really small portion. After several rounds, he still insist on giving us real small servings. Until sister said "She wants four servings", that chef continues giving miserably small portions.

So I spent my time taking photos and talking nonsense. I just made a realization. When you hold a DSLR, there is higher probability for strangers to ask you to help them take group photos. Not that I didn't want to, it's just a realization.

In conclusion, today was a great day, or should I say, yesterday. Merry Christmas everybody!

Yesterday the Sodapias headed to the Esplanade Concert Hall for Harmonica De Cantabile, in support of our beloved member, Veronica. I first met half the lovelies at three thirty in Lakeside MRT. We took off from there and headed to Peninsula Hotel Shopping Complex to look at some camera lenses. Saw a Polaroid camera. Melted.

We headed to Shin-Sapporo Ramen (新札幌らーめん) where we had our super delicious Shin-Sapporo Miso Ramen (新札幌みそらーめん). I had the spicy (辛口) one, while the rest of them had the non-spicy (普通) one. It's not exactly really spicy though, which I am quite happy about. I would really like to compliment the Tamago. It was really awesome as it literally melts in your mouth. After which, we slowly headed to the Esplanade.

We were walking around Esplanade when Jessica saw this Toy Story 3 badge and she said that she wanted it (Not sure if she just said jokingly), and Jordon really bought it for her. She felt so touched she nearly cried. After Shar reached the Esplanade we started going into the Concert Hall to wait for the performance to begin.

Honestly, I was staring at Veronica the whole time for her school's performance. Okay, I'm sick. But there's no one else I knew there. After which the other school's performance sounds like lullaby to me. Upon the performance of Lakeside Primary School's Harmonica Ensemble, I fell asleep. Sorry, kids. They are kind of cute though. Damien decided they were cute because they are his juniors (you know, same primary school). I only woke up upon the intermission, which means I slept for four songs.

While the others went to the washrooms for the intermission, I decided to stay inside the Concert Hall and wait. After the intermission, I was slightly more awake. I shall say, the finale was awesome. Three hundred harmonicists playing the same song. The sight was, extravagant. The full power of great Harmonica. I didn't know how to explain how I felt. You just had to be there to feel it. I'm so glad I was there to feel such and awesome feeling.

After which, Jessica's dad came to fetch her home. The rest of us headed to the roof garden. The boys slacked and I took some photos. After we soon contacted Veronica (no reception inside the Concert Hall), we met her and we headed to the Hawker Center at Blk 964 to have our supper. Damien and I shared drinks and we drank it faster than a blink of an eye. Didn't knew why we are so thirsty.

I went ahead to satisfy my craving for 蚝煎 that has been there since a week ago. I paid S$4 for it which only have 3 oysters. I guess they are cutting back on costs right? But I got to admit the egg was really yummy. It's a little oily and I got slightly nauseous and Damien felt a little sick too. Finished our food and Veronica's mummy came and fetched Veronica and Damien. Then all of us headed home.

All in all, yesterday was a great day. Can't wait to go to Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts for Shar's performance next month. It is awesome to have so many musically inclined friends. Sodapias, lets' do a cover on Pachelbel's Canon next time.

Had an awesome night out with my beloved classmates the night before. Met Selina at Jurong East MRT where we head to Bugis to wanting to meet Yiren, but sudden change to plans so we head to Pasir Ris. While waiting for the shutter bus, Dilip gave me a call and he agreed to give us a ride. We met him at White Sands where we also so Zhi Hong and company. At White Sand's McDonald's saw Yang Tee. Alas, he decided to go for a date with some girl rather than coming for class chalet.

Headed to Aloha Loyang, where we waited for people to come on in. Slacked a bit and then played Basketball with the boys. Yiren is a great basketball player. Awesome. Then headed in start barbecuing, had some food. Continue with my video. Heard commotion in the Basketball court. Pulled Ms Lim to play.

Apparently the boys from our class are playing with so petite girls from the other resort. They were extremely violent. I got one hit on my face, two hits on my hand, one stomp on my feet and one push. They still complain the boys for being violent when the boys really isn't (Oi, my class all gentlemen horh!). Whats wrong with them. They call my Papa "darling", I'm jealous. Nah, forget it. Never going to see their face again. The boys from our class seemed to enjoy their company anyway.

Headed back in cause the lights in the Basketball court was turned off. Took class photo, cut birthday cake, took birthday photo, see class video. Ms Lim went home and I went for a walk with my beloved papa. Talked about rubbish. Then headed back to the chalet to bathe. Had drinks, slack talk rubbish the whole night. I don't know why there isn't enough rooms but some of the boys slept in the living room. So had to move out to the outdoors to chat. Closed the doors and drew the curtains just in case anyone of them caught a cold.

Was at the outdoors chatting with papa, Dilip, Farhana and Selina. Then headed for a car ride which was extremely pleasurable and woke me up real good. Started cleaning up things as the bright sun rises. While the boys headed to the swimming pool, I followed to grab some photos. Headed back to catch some sleep while Yiren blasted some very irritating metal/rock songs. Woke up, headed to the beach to get some breather.

Waited for the authorities to check the chalet, head to reception to pay fines and followed some of my classmates to Pasir Ris MRT then split our ways.

I want another outing soon.

The graduation night is filled with great awesomeness considering the fact that I spent the day with the SoDaPias. Arrived at Veonica's at the noon where we had our lunch. Laid on her bed eating Pocky and took unglamorous shots until her camera's battery got exhausted. After which went to Damien's house to wait for him to finish bathing and then head off to meet Veronica and Aloysius again at Jurong Point.

In Jurong Point, met Jordon. Head to Z to get some last minute shopping for Damien. Off to Jessica's to get some makeup done by her maid, Kristine. Jessica's Mom called the cab, and off to Hillton. Graduation Night, usual school mates and things. Not very interested about meeting my long time no see classmates though. In between the dinner, was going out to talk to Veronica and Shar, and to pee. I keep wanting to pee. I don't know why. Too much Coca-Cola.

Wednesday was the last day of Red Camp 7. Woke up late. Forgot to meet Aloysius. So off I go to Nee Ann Poly myself. Apparently I reached an hour late. Still I got to join the "Early Bird Draw", laughs. I just stash the paper away cause apparently I couldn't find a pen, and the chances of me winning that iPod Touch? 1/1428? No, don't bother.

The morning was spent touring around the School Of Humanities. After lunch, was separated from the boys cause apparently they wanted a row of boys, a row of girls, but they later decided it doesn't matter anymore. Spent the afternoon mass dancing in the convection centre. Pfft. Then reunited with the boys, then after a while more, got dismissed to have our dinner.

Hop/Hot night was, well, chaos. Lots of people screaming and jumping like mad. Seriously, when "Like A G6" come on, everyone got very high. I don't understand why. While Aloysius eyes hurts, my head got very giddy, so out we go. Headed to Jessica house to get my bag then went home.

Yesterday evening was spent slacking in Jurong Point with the lovelies. Usual stuff.

It's been a week since I last blogged. Such a long and frustrating week and it's all because of work. Thank god I'm not going to work there anymore. Family is screwing up my life too. But, let's not blog about unhappy things. It's going to leave scars.

Monday had a great time kite flying with the lovelies in Marina Barrage. We brought too much food, unable to finish all of them. We were kite flying for hours before the lighting warning alert comes on. So we kept our kites and went to another unsheltered area for photo taking (I know, no point). After which we went to the café and cool down a bit from the scorching sun.

Trained to Jessica's house where Damien, Jordon, Aloysius and I take our baths. Veronica didn't want to bathe. Laughs. Jessica ordered Pizza Hut for our dinner. Did the "Pizza Cheers" with Aloysius half eaten pizza. He couldn't wait.

Headed to Jessica's bedroom to play The Game of Life. Halfway through, Dad spammed call me. So I got to go home. Jordon volunteer to pay for my taxi fares cause they are afraid I don't know how to go home so they want me to cab home. Major love them.

The next day we went to Haji lane to shop. Half the time I was mad at Jordon (Let's not elaborate). Each of us bought a bit of things. Head over to Far East Plaza where Veronica and I got our nails done. Aftermath, we went to Nana Thai Restaurant to have our dinner. Most of the food are crazily spicy and salty, but still quite delicious.

We then head to Vivo City to take a look in their Forever 21 and the boys bought 贡茶 for us. After which, we trained home.

On Wednesday, Damien, Veronica and Jordon came to fetch me off work. They bought BreadTalk for me. Jordon left without saying (Making me angry again). We then went to Souperlicious to drink Shroomy Mushroom. Then we trained home and Veronica went bonkers on the train.

Damien, Veronica and Aloysius came to fetch me the next day too, we had Aston Specialities for dinner. Walked around Suntec City Mall awhile before heading home.

Yesterday was a really bad day, so let's not get into it.

Yesterday's SoDaPia outing was at Jordon's. If you haven't notice from all our massive tweets and Facebook status updates, SoDaPia is our temporary clique name. I'm so against this name! So our main point of going to Jordon's was supposed to be learning to play guitar. Ended up learning nothing.

I met Damien and Jessica at the bus stop then we walked to Jordon's. Jessica was serious about learning guitar, I was occupied with Jessica's DSLR while Damien simply dived himself into the containers of snacks on Jordon's living room table. While Damien was busy munching on the biscuits, Jessica mentioned about coming up with a clique name. So Damien came up with the name SoDaPia, as inspired by the biscuit he was munching on.

Jordon warned Damien about the Pineapple tarts being not very yummy. Unaffected by the warning, Damien fed it to me anyway. Then he place other one into his mouth. We both had a hard time chewing and swallowing it. Sometimes we really have to believe in Jordon you know? Laughs. Damien subconsciously dirtied Jordon's floor with crumbs of food. He volunteered to help vacuum his house. He didn't do it.

We got bored, so I decided to go back home to bring the my Wii to play at Jordon house (His idea). So Damien followed. He came to my house and applied top coat on his toes while waiting for me to pack the Wii. Headed back to Jordon's to realise that I forgot to bring the Dance Dance Revolution pad, then went back to my house to get it. So tiring.

While setting up the Wii, Aloysius came. Had fun playing Dance Dance Revolution and Excite Truck. We then decided to take jump shots. Major fun. Laugh till my tummy hurts. Went home to put all my Wii stuff. The guys helped. While going down from my house, they decided to ask Wei Liang if he wanted to join us for dinner. Went to the fifth storey and Wei Liang's dog keep barking and barking and barking. He's not there anyway.

When to Chester Express to get our dinner. Rented the CD of "The Last Song" to watch back at Jordon's. Average story plot. Jessica and I screamed when Will kissed Ronnie. The boys are in a state of shock. Jessica cried towards the end of the movie. I was busy complaining about how ugly Miley Cyrus was and how irritated I was about her pouting lips to feel sad.

Shar joined us nearing the end of the movie. He brought his violin. When the movie ended, they decided to cover a song. After an hour of choosing and making a lot of noise, decided to postpone it. I feel very awful cause I think that we are disturbing his parents. Went home a little after 10 pm.

Went home to Skype with the SoDaPias. Damien online after I offline. Geez. Would be jogging with Veronica and Damien tonight. Can't wait for the next SoDaPia outing.

Just had another awesome day with my clique. Where have we been? Jurong Point and Jurong Safra! The most boring place on earth considering how often we frequent those places. I think all of us are treating as though we had finish our O levels already. Well, all of us except Veronica.

Met Damien and Aloysius at the Bus interchange then head over to Ambush to meet Veronica. Start off quite quiet cause everyone was shy. Had lunch. Talk about a bunch of random things. Then Jordon came. Wanted to take photos and Jordon suggest going to the neoprint machine to take photos using the digicam. Ended up playing the the arcade. Damien and Jordon played Para Para. Major funny.

Jessica came and chatted in Lai Lai Kitchen. Veronica wanted to play Hide-and-Seek in FairPrice Xtra. We did went to FairPrice Xtra, but didn't play Hide-and-Seek. Damien suggested flying a kite but later decided not to.

Went to Safra to get our dinner. Took many photos while we're there. Great fun. Shar came to join us afterwards. Veronica decides to go home so Aloysius, Shar and Damien walk her back to bus station while Jessica, Jordon and I stay behind to wait for them to come back. After they get back, we went down to the LAN to play Left 4 Dead.

First them playing the game, feels like a complete noob. The game is full of zombies and flying limbs. Jordon taught me how to play that game. I was randomly screaming vulgarities while killing the zombies.

After which went home. Thank you guys for another great day. Let's go fly kites next time.

Had a great day with Jessica, Damien, Aloysius and Jordon yesterday. I know right? O levels is not over yet. Laughs, but give us time to distress ourself. Met the three of them at four in Lakeside MRT. Then we headed off to Somerset. Was actually supposed to go to Paragon to look for Jessica's Mr Potato Head, but to no avail. But before that went to look for shoes that Damien wanted.

We bought Coca-Cola Jellies, you know those kind you ate as a child? That shop is so cool! Back to MRT, to head to The Cathay, wanting to eat Astons (The whole point of yesterday). But there's so many people there, so went down to eat Billy Bombers.

Jessica bought heels for $9.90, quite a steal huh? Damien wanted her to change into it immediately, claiming the shoes that Jessica wore was hideous. Looks fine to me though. While waiting for Jessica to buy her shoe, Aloysius decided to take a photo of his cleavage. Then after Jessica changed her shoe, we decided to take a photo together, came out an hideous photo of Damien.

Met Jordon at Plaza Singapura. Had a crazy MRT ride back to Boon Lay, taking about all the super taboo topics. Jessica laughed so hard, she nearly fell a few times. Then reach Jurong Point, tried looking for Mr Potato Head again in Harris and Kiddy Palace, to no avail again. Walked around a while more before heading home.

Had a great 5 hours with my favorite people yesterday. Can't wait for the Genting/Chalet trip.
